Netflix listened and one show has been axed…and more.
Iron Fist was cancelled. It suffered from the get-go due to poor casting, lackluster scripts, and even though the second season was better, the show did not have enough fan fervor to get it a third season. However, the series ended with a good enough ending that should leave fans satisfied with the main characters off on their own respective adventures.
This is a first for Netflix, as the Marvel-based shows have been a cornerstone for the success of the streaming service. While we are waiting for the third season of Daredevil to start and have been promised a third season for Luke Cage and Jessica Jones, and a second season for The Punisher…we shall wait to see if we will get another crossover event like The Defenders.
Will you miss Danny Rand and Colleen Wing? Do you think we will see these characters again?
Netflix has started casting for its upcoming Sci-fi series October Faction. Tamara Taylor and J.C. Mackenzie will lead the cast.
Aurora Burghart, Gabriel Darku, Wendy Crewson, Megan Follows and Stephen McHattie have join the cast
New 10 episode sci-fi series October Faction, based on the successful IDW comic book written by Steve Niles, has found its cast. The story follows the monster hunting Allen family.
Tamara Taylor (Bones, Altered Carbon, Lost, Justice League: Gods and Monsters) will play Deloris Allen.
J.C. Mackenzie (Molly's Game, Vinyl, The Irishman) will play Fred Allen.
Aurora Burghart (Sex Education) will play Viv Allen.
Gabriel Darku (Impulse, ReBoot: The Guardian Code, American Gods) will play Geoff Allen.
The series also includes Wendy Crewson (The Vow, Room), Megan Follows (Reign,Anne of Green Gables) and Stephen McHattie (Watchmen, Maurice Richard).
The series was adapted and created by Damian Kindler (Sleepy Hollow, Krypton) who serves as creator, showrunner and executive producer.
October Faction is produced by High Park Entertainment in association with IDW Entertainment. IDW Entertainment is the worldwide distributor (excluding Canada) for the series. Images and press release courtesy of Netflix.
The CW's Arrow has added to their cast of regulars, with Kirk Adevedo being promoted to series regular for Season 7. Kirk Acevedo, recurred last season as the drug kingpin and crime lord also known as Dragon. Arrow will premiere October 15th. Deadline
I got to watch the premiere of Supernatural and it was nice to see a lot of old faces…like Bobby and the human Lucifer. However, while it was interesting to see the dynamic of Sam leading this group to maintain some order in this world, as he is looking for Dean…it was Dean that was the best part of the show. Well…not Dead, per se, more like the visage of Dean as the Archangel Michael inhabits the vessel of Dean. He's asking these questions about what people want.
What is he getting at by asking these questions? Other than that, it is just the same ole thing. The show needs to change it up a bit to gain momentum and keep the fans engaged. Especially since they do not have Dean to swoon over. This is reflected in the numbers, where Supernatural stumbled a bit.

Favorite Movie to Date:
August 8, 2018 – Crazy Rich Asians – Kevin Kwan's best seller was turned into a fun, romantic, familial dramedy, that was filled with a lot of insight into what classist Asian families and Asian Society expects and demands of their offspring.
Following your hearts desire is not top of mind. Take over your parent's businesses, be religious, be on Vogue, and marry for family's sake is the key to surviving.
Actually, many of the theater goers in tonight's showing were in full blown tears during some key scenes. So, it did strike a chord with many.
Back to the movie. It was the women that stole the movie.
From Rachel Chu's resiliency, to Astrid's fragility and resolve, to Eleanor's protectiveness of her family, and to Peik Lin being the BFF we all need in our lives. They all showed us the expectations, sacrifices, challenges, and pitfalls of being in a well-to-do family.
Like any movie that revolves a girl and a boy who come up against adversity after adversity, you just end up cheering them on to the very end.
Should you watch it? Yes!
A great story and great acting make this a must see!
I will even buy it when it comes out for digital download! | {

Since referendum results night it feels like everything has taken a colossal turn for the worst. Our politicians seem to want to spend more time fighting with themselves to further their own agendas than they do on trying to formulate some kind of plan. So in a bid to ignore all that nonsense for a few minutes, here's to celebrating the things that make a difference in daily life, however small or silly they seem.
I've been operating with the most basic Nokia phone that a crisp £20 note can buy for a while now and it did its job wonderfully. It rang when someone called and it beeped when someone sent me a text. It also had snake, which will probably always be the best phone game because, nostalgia! Adult life however has hit me square in the face and I need something that helps me to organise things better. Honestly though, I'm mostly just relieved to have the maps app because getting lost is rarely a fun experience.
So far I have three different cases for it. Got to have a bit of variety, right? I thought I would like this one from Caseology the most because, well, it's blue. It was my favourite until it got stuck on my phone and left a little scratch behind when I finally managed to get it off. The scratch doesn't really bother me, but I'm not going to put that case back on again. This clear Ghostek case and the rose gold case I'm currently using are both great. I love their simplicity and they're not completely impossible to take off.
Adele at Glastonbury. Well, actually just the BBC coverage of Glastonbury in general. We watch it every year and we're always impressed. You all know how much I love Adele. Her ability to captivate an audience with her beautiful voice and first class banter is incredible, and being able to see her performance without having to stand in a couple of inches of mud was a bonus.
My new basil plant has been making me very happy. I'm really quite useless when it comes to keeping plants alive, but I'm trying my very best to keep Basil as happy as possible.
My usual uniform is all black everything, all the time. With the sun making an appearance occasionally this summer and after finding this beautiful blouse in TK Maxx a few weeks ago, I've gone a little off brand. Not too off brand though, because I've been pairing it with black jeans. One step at a time, you know?
Beatrix's new favourite thing is to tunnel underneath almost everything. I've been leaving blankets piled up in various places around the house, sometimes with treats hidden inside, for her and she loves it. She's an expert in sniffing out treats and at this point I'm pretty sure she's smarter than me!
Happy weekend! What's been making you happy recently?
I love the rose gold iphone, but mine has a few years left in it yet so I haven't an excuse to buy one!
Isn't it nice to see your plant blossom and thrive? My sunflower already is blossoming! :) I'm so happy.
Beatrix is an absolute babe - what a cutie. I feel you on the EU. I can't believe it's only been a week and I'm still struggling to accept it. Keep thinking its only a bad dream!
It almost doesn't feel real!
Beatrix is so beautiful. The top/blouse you have chosen looks lovely. Perfect for a gentle splash of colour for summer!
Oh Beatrix is such a cutie! We've got a basil plant too and I love using it when I'm cooking - it really makes me want to grow more herbs. Also, that blouse is beautiful. I'm obsessed with blush pink right now!
I'm not a fan of most herbs, but I love basil in almost everything!
The simple things are usually the good things that makes life happy and at ease!
Look at that bunny nose! Squee!
I haven't ever been a small person.

"I don't even really know how to write cursive anymore."
"What the hell? Why would you ask me that?"
"I'm trying to elevate small talk to medium talk."
"Okay, fine. Um… it's… all right. It's fine. It's okay."
Them: "Supposed to hit 90."
I wasn't trying to be rude, I just didn't have anything to add. It was a hot day. It was supposed to get hotter. What else was there to say?
Them: "I hope the weather stays like this over the weekend. Supposed to go golfing with some friends this weekend."
And then we'd spend the next five minutes talking about golf. I don't even golf. But it was more interesting than just plainly stating facts about the current meteorological conditions.
What was the difference? The second co-worker used an identity statement. An identity statement is anything where you're saying something interesting about yourself, and they're great for turning "small talk" into "medium talk." If you've ever had a small talk conversation that comfortably escalated into medium talk, then at some point an identity statement was used.
Once you understand what makes for a good identity statement and how you can use them, I guarantee you won't dread small talk nearly as much anymore.
You may have heard that an easy heuristic to engaging someone socially is to just ask them questions. This is technically true, and I used to do it all the time. But this was also why I hated small talk, because I was essentially forfeiting all attempts to make an identity statement to the other person.
In other words, I was just asking questions and hoping that the person I was talking to would make an interesting identity statement before I got so bored I decided to stab myself in the eye with the plastic straw in my drink.
If you hate small talk like I did, this is probably why. You're relying entirely on the other person to say something interesting and not trying to say anything interesting yourself. That's usually not a great combination.
The good news is, you don't have to do that. Making an identity statement doesn't mean you're monopolizing the conversation and only talking about yourself. The key to a good identity statement is answering one question: why? Especially when someone asks you a question, don't just respond with something that technically answers their question but doesn't tell them anything more about you. If they're asking what you're doing, answer why you're doing it. If they're asking where you're going, answer why you're going there. If they're asking where you bought something, answer why you purchased it.
Let's say you someone asks you what your favorite movie is. Which answer is going to lead to a more engaging conversation?
Option 2: "Fight Club. I just really liked it's messages on materialism and the state of masculinity. The book actually covered those themes even better. It's like, what kind of society are we when men no longer bond over shared struggle and survival?"
Option 2 isn't monopolizing the conversation — note at the end you're still asking them a question. If they've seen the movie, they can share their thoughts. If they haven't, they can ask you more about the movie or still offer their opinion on the movie's themes. Or they can change the subject entirely. But you've now given them all these options to respond and escalate beyond small talk, which is why identity statements are so useful.
These principles apply whether it's platonic co-workers or a woman you're attracted to and have approached. Almost every initial interaction with a woman is going to involve some sort of small talk. Sometimes that interaction will fizzle out because even though she seemed receptive to your approach, you'll end up making bland small talk for 15 minutes and then her friends will drag her away. Your friends will ask you what happened, and you'll say something like, "eh, we didn't have that much in common."
But really the problem was neither of you made enough identity statements. And this is why never making any identity statements yourself is a bad idea. Not every woman is a great conversationalist with a guy she just met. If you ask her questions like where she's from or what's the occasion for being out with her friends, she may respond with an interesting identity statement… but it's also very likely she'll just give you a bland respond that you can't even follow up with another question. And then eventually one of you will eventually get bored until the conversation withers away and dies.
Making identity statements will let you prevent that from happening. Identity statements are a great way to demonstrate your intelligence and other aspects of your high value. If you consider yourself an intelligent and interesting person, you don't need to wait for hours to communicate that to her. You can communicate that right away!
So think about the kinds of conversations you have when you first approach a woman, and what questions usually get asked by one or both of you. You can even prepare ahead of time and "rehearse" your answers. At some point, she'll probably ask you questions like what you're drinking, or what kind of music you're into. Just have good identity statements ready to respond with, and you'll find yourself escalating way more often than you say, "eh, we didn't have that much in common."
And even better: you'll no longer have to dread small talk with everyone else, too. | {

Title: The Surgeons of Occupy

The Surgeons of Occupy
In his February 6 article entitled,"The Cancer of Occupy,"Chris Hedges attempts to analyze the political beliefs and practices of the black bloc, a group he characterizes as the scourge of the Occupy movement. Although Mr. Hedges evidently conducted at least a little to research his article, he does not quote a single proponent or participant of a black bloc, neither within the Occupy movement nor from any of the many other black blocs that have been organized in the United States. Such research would not have been difficult. There are a plethora of anarchist blogs, websites, newspapers, and magazines that discuss Occupy, the black bloc, and even the use of the black bloc within Occupy protests.
Despite this major failing, I cannot accuse Mr. Hedges of laziness. He does, after all, dig up an anarchist magazine published in Oregon ten years earlier and he quotes one particular article extensively. The magazine, Green Anarchy, is tied in to Hedge's tirade on the basis of the unsupported and inaccurate assertion that anarcho-primitivist John Zerzan, one of the magazine's former editors, is "one of the principal ideologues of the Black Bloc movement". In fact, the black bloc evolved–as a tactic, not a movement–in Europe and came to the United States without any input from Zerzan. Zerzan's only link to the bloc is as one of the few public figures to have endorsed it.
So why does he appear at all in Hedges' article? Presumably to provide the link to Green Anarchy. And why Green Anarchy? Of all the anarchists and others who have participated in black blocs in the last decades, green anarchists or anarcho-primitivists have only been one small part. Labor union anarchists, anarcha-feminists, social anarchists, indigenous anarchists, Christian anarchists, as well as plain old, unaffiliated street youth, students, immigrants, parents, and others have participated in black blocs.
However, for a mainstream audience susceptible to fear-mongering, the anarcho-primitivists can easily be portrayed as the most extreme, the most irrational, and this kind of crass emotional manipulation is clearly Mr. Hedges' goal.
Despite the tenuous to null connection between Green Anarchy and the use of the black bloc within the Occupy movement, he uses a skewed presentation of that magazine to frighten his readers away from a reasoned consideration of the political arguments on which the black bloc is based. For the more intrepid readers, he finishes off the job with inaccurate and unreferenced generalizations such as, "Black Bloc anarchists oppose all organized movements [...] They can only be obstructionist."
Hedges introduces the widely read Zerzan merely as an apologist for the ideas of Ted Kaczynski (The Unabomber). Referred to by one NBC reporter as "probably one of the smartest individuals I have encountered" and "very low key, reasoned, and non-threatening," Zerzan is a far more complex figure, but such details fall outside of Hedges' plan of attack. His characterization of Green Anarchy, and by extension, of all black bloc anarchists, is based on a single article that only appeared in GA as a reprint some ten years ago. Neither does Hedges admit that the article itself, "The EZLN are Not Anarchist," generated considerable controversy and debate among anarchists, nor that GA itself published a response by several Zapatistas, which criticized the article for "a colonialist attitude of arrogant ignorance".
The openness to debate and criticism present in GA, is totally absent from Hedges' latest work of journalism. The manipulation, cherry picking, and dishonesty that underlie his arguments show that for this award-winning journalist, fairness is only a courtesy one extends to those rich or powerful enough to press libel charges. This conception certainly abounds in the pages of the New York Times, Hedges' longtime employer.
The medical language of Hedges' title, referring to the anarchists as a "cancer," should immediately ring alarm bells. Portraying one's opponents as a disease has long been a tactic of the state and the media to justify the repression. This language was used against the Native Americans, against the Jews, against communists, and many others. Recently the police and the right wing used this same language of hygiene to talk about the occupations around the country as health threats so as to justify their eviction and generate disgust and repulsion.
In sum, Chris Hedges deals with the "Black Bloc anarchists" with fear-mongering manipulation and without the slightest glimmer of solidarity. But beneath the black masks, anarchists have been an integral part of the debates, the organizing, the cooking and cleaning in dozens of cities. Anarchists also participated in preparing the original call-out for Occupy Wall Street, and they played a key role in organizing and carrying out the historic Oakland general strike and the subsequent West Coast port blockades–probably the strongest actions taken by the Occupy movement to date.
The very fact that Occupy Oakland got out 2,000 people to fight the police for hours in an attempt to occupy a building, at a time when Occupy in other cities is dwindling or dead, contradicts the parallel claims that anarchists are trying to "hijack" Occupy and that their tactics turn people away. On the contrary, anarchists are part and parcel of the Occupy movement and their methods of struggle resonate with many people more than the staid, hand-wringing pacifism and middle-class reformism of careerists like Chris Hedges.
It would be useful to debate the appropriateness of aggressive tactics in demonstrations, and anarchists themselves have often encouraged this debate, but Hedges has passed over the critique and gone straight for the smear. He calls the black bloc anarchists "a gift from heaven for the surveillance and security state," choosing conspiracy theory paranoia to distract from the public record, filled with cases of government officials and the media alternately serenading and threatening the Occupy movement into an acceptance of nonviolence.
Its proponents in the Occupy movement have generally protected nonviolence from an open debate, instead imposing it through manipulation, fear-mongering, and, when all else fails, turning their opponents over to the police. Hedges himself implies that illegal or aggressive tactics cannot exist in a space where "mothers and fathers [feel] safe", ignoring the many militant movements built around the needs of mothers and fathers, such as his own favorite example, the Zapatistas. He also dismisses the concept of a diversity of tactics as a "thought-terminating cliché", demonstrating a willful ignorance of–to name just one example–the many weeks of thoughtful debate that went into the "St. Paul principles" that allowed hundreds of thousands of people with a huge diversity of political practices to come together in 2008 and protest the Republican National Convention.
Predictably, Chris Hedges uses the name of Martin Luther King, Jr., to gain legitimacy for his stance, again contradicting his argument that the "corporate state" wants protestors to fight police and destroy property, given that this same corporate state venerates King (or at least a well managed version of King) while demonizing or silencing the equally important Malcolm X or Black Panthers. Just as predictably, Chris Hedges does not mention that King vocally sympathized with the urban youths who rioted, youths whose contemporary equivalent Hedges calls "stupid" and a "cancer." Ironically, Hedges refers to the famous Birmingham campaign attributed with achieving the end of segregation. What Hedges and pacifist ideologues like him fail to mention is that Birmingham was a repeat of King's Albany campaign, which ended a total failure, all its participants locked up, and no one slightly moved by the supposed dignity of victimhood. The difference? In Birmingham, the local youths got fed up, rioted and kicked police out of large parts of the city for several days. The authorities chose to negotiate with King and replace de jure segregation with de facto segregation in order to avoid losing control entirely.
It's also hypocritical that on the one hand Chris Hedges utilizes King and parades the dignity of nonviolent suffering while on the other hand he uses the fear of getting injured by police or spending a few nights in jail to mobilize his comfortable, middle class readership to reject the black bloc and the dangers it might bring down on them. "The arrests last weekend in Oakland of more than 400 protesters [...] are an indication of the scale of escalating repression and a failure to remain a unified, nonviolent opposition." He goes on to detail the horrible ways police attacked demonstrators, and the conditions in jail.
It's election year. Those who still have faith in the system, or those whose paychecks are signed by the major unions, the Democratic Party, progressive NGOs, or the left wing of the corporate media, know it's their job to forcibly convert any popular movement into a pathetic plea to be made at the ballot box. The unmediated, experimental politics of the Occupy movement must give way to symbolic protest and dialogue with the existing "structures of power" whose members must be brought "to our side". For the Occupy movement to be sanitized and converted into a recruiting tool for the Democratic Party, it will have to be neutralized as a space for real debate, experimentation, and conflict with authority. Its more revolutionary elements will have to be surgically removed. It is an operation the police, the media, and some careerist progressives have been engaged in for months, and Hedges' contribution is just the latest drop in the bucket.
This form of co-optation and manipulation is nothing new for a movement that cynically harvested a few images from Tahrir Square–an unfinished popular uprising in which hundreds of thousands of people defended themselves forcefully from the cops, ultimately torching dozens of police stations–to declare a victory for nonviolence.
Around the world, people are fighting for their freedom and resisting the depredations of the rich and powerful. In the United States, there is plenty of cause to join this fight, but as long as people continue enact a fear-driven, Not-In-My-Backyard pacifism, and to pander to the corporate media as though they would ever show us in a positive light, the rich and the powerful will have nothing to worry about. | {

Monsanto quietly announces they are investing heavily in gene editing
Thursday, June 01, 2017 by: Vicki Batts
Tags: gene editing, GMOs, Monsanto
(Natural News) Is anyone surprised that Monsanto is moving on from "conventional" genetically modified organisms to gene editing? It seems that the world's most evil corporation is convinced that the new gene editing technology that's been taking the globe by storm will somehow ease consumer concerns about eating GMOs.
Whether or not the difference between the two is substantial enough to assuage the many fundamental issues that surround GMO seeds, which extend far beyond just concerns about the effects of consumption, has yet to be seen. Personally, this writer feels that the alleged differences between "genetically modified" and "gene-edited" are not going to be very moving.
Dr. Robert Fraley, Monsanto's chief technology officer, recently told Fox Business, "I see gene editing very differently [than GMOs] because it's being used today broadly by pharmaceutical, agricultural companies, universities and hundreds of startup companies — and I think there is broad support for this science and I think that is going to make a big difference."
Supposedly, the key difference between GMOs and "gene-edited crops" is that while GMOs rely on genes from different species (resulting in transgenic organisms), these gene-edited versions will be "generated through precise editing of an organism's native genome," as Business Insider explains.
Monsanto has recently announced that they would be investing heavily into new gene editing technology, known as CRISPR/Cas-9, which is a gene editing technique that essentially allows scientists to select, snip and replace certain genetic components. It's essentially a genetic "find and replace" tool — but there are many questions about its safety.
Mother Nature's micronutrient secret: Organic Broccoli Sprout Capsules now available, delivering 280mg of high-density nutrition, including the extraordinary "sulforaphane" and "glucosinolate" nutrients found only in cruciferous healing foods. Every lot laboratory tested. See availability here.
This technology purportedly allows scientists to manipulate a plant's DNA without having to pull foreign DNA from other species, like current GMOs. However, you may recall that this same CRISPR-Cas9 technology was used to create human-pig embryos — which are, obviously, transgenic organisms.
The use of CRISPR-Cas9 technology in crops, therefore, would not implicitly guarantee that any creations derived from it would be free of foreign DNA. The potential for transgenic creations is absolutely still quite real.
Fraley says that the CRISPR technology allows them to precisely edit a gene without having to replace it entirely. However, there will still likely be concerns about where the replacement parts for snipped genes are coming from. According to Fraley, we can expect to see the first gene-edited creations on the market within the next five years.
Megan Westgate, the executive director of Non-GMO Project, explained to Fox Business, "While these new technologies are touted to be more precise than older genetic engineering technologies, it is widely accepted in the scientific community that there can be 'off target' effects to the genome when the technologies are utilized. GMOs, including the products of these new technologies, have not been adequately tested—no long-term feeding studies have been conducted—and people are starting to connect these experimental technologies to health concerns."
Fraley, like other GMO proponents, claims that the skepticism of GMOs is due to the fact that Monsanto failed to educate people about the "science" of GMOs early on. And of course, by education he means "brain-washing." They didn't realize that the public would be smart enough to ask pertinent questions not just about the safety of GMOs, but everything that tends to come along with them: Pesticides, herbicides, chemical fertilizers,and monocrop farming techniques — all of which can be harmful to the environment.
Claiming that there are "vast" differences between "genetically modified" and "gene-edited" crops could be seen as an exercise in semantics. The fact of the matter is that many people feel strongly about not eating food that has been modified in a lab, by humans who think they know what they're doing. This is not likely to change just because a new label has been slapped on it.
Regardless of how you feel about genetically modified organisms, or their new "edited" counterparts, the fact remains that every person should have the right to choose what kind of food they want to consume — and the call to label these new "gene-edited" foods needs to begin before they hit the shelves.

Stuart Nielsen is Chief Information Officer at Tools4FIM, a software company that specializes in the development of customized tools and components for the Microsoft Forefront Identity Manager 2010 (FIM) solution. This two-and-half-year-young operation, managed by five employees, is leveraging the reach and experience of more than 100 integrator consultants within its parent company, Oxford Computer Group. Together, they pack a lot of punch in the identity, security, and access management segment, a highly niche market. They now have five downloadable software utilities providing customized added value.
Stuart and his team aim to make their tools available to customers wherever they are, simultaneously minimizing the risk associated with deployment of the technologies and reducing implementation and project times. Tools4FIM products are currently used by over 300 customers, ranging from small independent integrators to global companies such as Microsoft Consulting Services.
It is integral to the success of Tools4FIM that they have a proper licensing solution in place. The reputation Tools4FIM creates in the marketplace not only impacts their efforts but their highly respected parent company as well. Although Oxford Computer Group had an established licensing solution for their needs, it would not extend to fit Stuart's needs due to limitations within the European-based e-commerce functionality. So, Stuart promptly realized that he would be required to look elsewhere for a solution to fit his needs.
Stuart has over 25 years of experience, including the early days at Microsoft, when they were small in the U.K., all the way through their biggest growth period. This makes his perspective on Concept Software all the more valuable for others. He has been "around the block," allowing him to confidently state what sets Concept Software apart from other licensing providers. He says, "Over my 25 years, of all the companies I have encountered, Mike and his team rank in the top five in customer support, responsiveness and help. I suppose in this day in age that is probably the highest commendation that I can give Mike and his team. That, for me, is what makes the company. Whether you use all the functionality or not, whether you have full throughput or not, whether you have the best [licensing] product in the world and it cost you only a buck — if you don't have support, then it's worthless and very frustrating. So, for me, truly it comes down to the service these guys provide. It's on the ball, it's on time, it does exactly what it says it's going to do."
Seven years ago, Stuart added value to his own life in the U.K. by renovating an abandoned 1727 Welsh farm house situated on a scarcely populated mountainside often adorned with sheep from a nearby herder. This CIO works from his remote, rural location and alternating his time at the city office. Stuart's personal commitment to creating a better quality of life translates to his heightened awareness that businesses need to deliver value through quality products, services and overall extraordinary customer experiences.
When Tools4FIM started looking for a licensing solution two-and-a-half years ago, their sights were set on selling into the global market and wanting to base it in the U.S. They solicited feedback about a good platform from which they would sell their tools. They got a strong recommendation from their U.S. partner and customer in the telecommunications industry who suggested that the SoftwareKey System was the way to go: a good company with good products. Tools4FIM thoroughly tested the SoftwareKey System and the particular features of SOLO Server, comparing the results with reviews of a few other solutions on the market. This investigation process took about a month during which time, Stuart recalled, "Mike (Mike Wozniak, Founder and CEO, Concept Software) and his team were on the ball, answered questions, allowed us to trial and test, and talked through the process of customization. They were very flexible."
Reporting - "great for the accountant"
Stuart and his team were impressed with the speed with which they could accomplish all of this, including the hosting services provided by Concept Software. But the thing that really drove them to choose the SoftwareKey System is how it is all designed to protect their software.
He went on to discover that the team at Concept Software is always incredibly flexible in customizing to what he calls, "their peculiar needs." Stuart recalled seven customization projects completed by Concept Software over the two-and-a-half year relationship (as of this writing). Initially, it was getting the right "look and feel" of the user interface and then customizating it in such a manner to encourage customers to interact with it directly, thereby reducing operational costs to a mininum. Later, they needed what Stuart describes as "significant customizations" which left them "surprised and blown away what Mike and his team would do, and do at no additional charge."
Stuart believes that had Tools4FIM gone with a cheaper solution they more than likely would have had very expensive pay-per-use support — or no customer support at all. Choosing a larger company would have left them without the care they continue to experience with Concept Software. He says, "No doubt we are one of the easier customers, with simpler demands [for Concept Software] and we are never going to generate Mike and his team a huge amount of ongoing revenue from the model; nonetheless, they work with us. I'm sure you can imagine that some of the larger players would say you are too small, we don't want to help you." The message he got from Concept Software was, "We don't care how big you are, or how small you are, or how much business we will do with you; if we can help you, and we have the right solution for you, and you think we are the right people to work with you, then we are happy to work with you."
Think very carefully about what you are trying to sell and how you want to control what you are trying to sell.
Do you want people to be able to trial that software?
Do you want people to be able to license the software in different ways?
Do you want to offer a lite version and fuller version for upgrade?
Do you have varied functionality within your software product? Will you try to lock that functionality out in some way?
Think about the different SKU's that you might have and the different ways of selling and licensing each product.
How do you want to secure and manage your product? You may not be worried how and what people do with it. We wanted to make sure that we maintained some control with that product, that we could deactivate it or activate it. We wanted to be able to allow people to upgrade from a lite version to a full version of the product. Think long and hard about how you will sell it, and how you will manage that software once you have sold it.
Think long and hard about what kind of customer information you want to collect, how will you manage it; are you happy managing it in a completely separate CRM system than the one you use today? Might you export it to some other CRM? Can you export to a different system?
Does the system easily allow you to email promotions to customers? Does it allow you to manage those promotions and discounts easily?
Does it easily allow you to notify customers of upgrades? Is it easy to upload the software into the system so you don't have to host it somewhere else?
Don't necessarily go for the cheapest or easiest solution because that's what you want at this time. We bought this (SoftwareKey) solution at the height of the financial crisis (that the world is still going through) with the knowledge that our own needs may not grow quickly, but that it would eventually grow, as we had faith in the resilience of the global economy. We incrementally tweak and change what we do and how we do it. SOLO Server is flexible enough. We won't have to switch in the future. Future-proofing is important.
Cheap and simple is not always the best way to go, because down the road you may not be able to do something that you want to do and didn't foresee.
I absolutely recommend Concept Software. | {

Air Show Returns to Eastern Alabama
The Auburn University Regional Airport is bringing the first true air show to eastern Alabama since 1984 when the Auburn-Opelika Airshow kicks off on May 11. Attendees will be able to watch aerobatic displays, see vintage warbirds, participate in the Touch A Truck event and see the newly constructed terminal at the Auburn University Regional Airport.
"We are expecting a little more than 10,000 people at the airshow," said Beth Witten, airshow coordinator. "We are really looking forward to being able to bring aviation to the forefront."
Jim Cook, a local pilot whose Yakovlev Yak-9 will be featured at the airshow said that there will be a lot of acts that crowds will not want to miss. "The Sea Fury is going to be really exciting," he said. "This thing is fast. It's sick fast. It's propeller-driven, but it's like a 450 mph airplane."
The Hawker Sea Fury is a British aircraft that was built in 1945 but did not see service until the Korean War. The Hawker Sea Fury at the Auburn-Opelika Airshow will be flown by Dave Peeler.

Microsoft Dynamics CRM helps you enable your people to develop meaningful and enduring relationships with your customers, while helping to improve profitability and operational efficiency. Whether you specialize in offering products for banking, wealth management, or insurance, the best way to attract and retain customers is to deliver an outstanding customer experience.
In today's challenging economic environment, many financial services companies are striving to differentiate themselves from the competition. However, price, products, and distribution models can often be imitated by competitors, and financial customers are more demanding than ever.
Many companies are finding that the best way to attract and retain customers is to deliver an outstanding customer experience. Whether you specialize in offering products for banking, wealth management, or insurance, Microsoft Dynamics enables your people to develop meaningful and enduring relationships with your customers, while helping to improve profitability and operational efficiency.
Delivering Amazing Customer Experiences In an industry as competitive as financial services, a superior customer experience may be your most important differentiator, especially when competitors can quickly imitate your products, services, and offers. Our vision is to help financial services firms transform from a transaction-centric business to a customer-centric business. The cloud plays a key role in this vision through flexible services that can be accessed virtually anywhere.
Microsoft solutions remove barriers, enabling our customers to move to the cloud on their own terms and at their own pace. Gain a 360-degree view of the customer Our vision begins with a holistic view of the customer that enables you to fully understand your customers and their needs.
With a single system to track all your customer data and interactions, you give your advisors and agents the information they need to deliver fast, personalized service. Open APIs and commonly used technologies streamline integration of Microsoft Dynamics CRM with back office systems like core banking, risk management, payments, financial planning, underwriting and other such systems. Deliver more personal, intuitive customer experiences A complete customer view helps you provide personal and relevant experiences that delight customers and keep them coming back.
For example, built-in analytics can help identify relevant financial products and value-added services based on customer life events, or identify cross-sell opportunities between financial lines of business. The ease of use of the Microsoft solutionsreduces administrative overhead and gives your staff more time for customers. Drive operational efficiencies Natural tools that are easy to use help drive greater operational efficiency and support people in their job role. By targeting specific workloads for automation, such as customer onboarding, loan origination, or approvals, financial services organizations can realize rapid return with a limited initial investment.
The cloud provides new ways to economically provide flexible solutions across physical locations and geographies.

Revelations that Russian hackers tried to break into Dallas County's web servers, likely with the intention of accessing voter registration files, in the lead up to last November's election renewed concerns about Texas election security. Both Wednesday night's news out of Dallas and a Bloomberg report on Monday—which said that the Russian hacking attempts affected 39 states—are forcing states to look inward and re-examine the security of their local and state-level electoral technologies.
DeBeauvoir's work with the technology dates back almost twelve years. Along with similar initiatives such as Los Angeles County's Voting Systems Assessment Project, San Francisco's efforts to create an open source voting project, and the Colorado Risk-Limiting Audit Project, STAR-Vote could mean that the problems with electoral security are close to being answered. | {

November 2013 - Nashua, NH -- Centorr Vacuum Industries announces it will be building its 6th MIM-Vac M furnace in 2013 expanding its customer base for the Metal Injection Molding market. This includes multiple furnaces to an International metals producer for their new Metal Injection Molding Operation.
CVI has over 30 years of successful MIM furnace building experience. Its new business is comprised of a smaller research-sized unit designed with a 2 cu ft hot zone (12x12x24) and a larger production size unit at 9 cu ft with an 18x18x48 size hot zone. Other sizes are also available. The new MIM-Vac M (modular design) has a number of design improvements including advanced Molybdenum hot zones with "wide-flow" gas-plenum retorts using Sweepgas™ technology for consistent gas flow dynamics over all parts. It has a compact furnace layout with construction on a structural steel base for fast installation and easy hookup of all utilities, yet provides full access to major components for ease of maintenance, with no cumbersome panels to remove.
A Dry mechanical pumping system with CVI's proprietary T/P (trap-over-pot) binder condensing trap provides clean and efficient handling of MIM binders with a second large trap after the vacuum pump for improved process cleanliness. The use of advanced Molybdenum alloys (Lanthanated Moly and TZM) in the hot zone and retort offers excellent creep resistance, higher recrystallization temperatures, and longer service life. CVI's removable and replaceable plenum sections keep retort replacement costs to a minimum. All systems include a flexible HMI design with CE certification. All MIM-Vac™ furnaces offer temperature uniformity better than +/- 5°C, and operate in partial pressures from 10 torr up to 750 torr of Argon, Nitrogen, or Hydrogen gas using mass flow controllers for automated control.
Founded in 1954, Centorr Vacuum Industries is a high temperature vacuum and controlled atmosphere furnace manufacturer with an installed base of over 6500 units worldwide. They are located in Nashua, NH with a fully staffed Aftermarket Field Service group, and Applied Technology Center offering R&D support and toll production service. | {

On January 15, 2013, the EXOR preferred shares shareholders' meeting appointed Oreste Cagnasso as the preferred shareholders' common representative for the next three-year period 2013-2015.
The meeting of the board of directors of EXOR S.p.A. held on February 11, 2013 resolved to propose to the shareholders the conversion of the Company's preferred and savings shares into ordinary shares.
The conversion is intended to streamline the capital structure of the Company, creating conditions for greater transparency, and simplify the governance structure. In addition, the conversion will eliminate classes of securities that have had very limited trading volumes, replacing them with ordinary shares, whose liquidity will be enhanced through the transaction, to the benefit of all shareholders.
The proposals were approved by the special meetings of the preferred and savings shareholders and the extraordinary session of the general meeting of the shareholders held, respectively, on March 19, 2013 and March 20, 2013.
Holders of preferred shares and savings shares who did not participate in the approval of the proposed conversions (i.e., holders who did not attend the meetings or voted against the proposed resolution or abstained) were able to exercise withdrawal rights for a fifteen-day period following registration of the approved resolutions in the Turin Company Register pursuant to article 2437-bis of the Italian Civil Code. On May 3, 2013, at the end of the withdrawal period, EXOR announced that the conditions precedent, approved by the shareholders' meeting on March 20, 2013, were satisfied.
This shareholders' meeting, in fact, had resolved that the conversion of each class of shares would be conditional upon the cash amount to be paid by the Company pursuant to article 2437-quater of the Italian Civil Code for exercise of the withdrawal rights not exceeding €80 million, in the case of the preferred shares, and €20 million in the case of savings shares. In the event that either of these limits was exceeded for any given class, the conversion of both classes of shares would nevertheless become effective if the aggregate cash amount to be paid by the Company for the exercise of the withdrawal rights in respect of both classes did not exceed €100 million.
The preferred and savings shares for which the withdrawal right was exercised (respectively 50 shares for a total of €848 and 5,138 shares for a total of €86,127) are currently offered to the shareholders pursuant to the existing legislation.
The conversions will be executed on or after the 2012 ex-dividend date (June 24, 2013). The effective date of the conversion will be communicated in accordance with existing law.
On March 8, 2013, EXOR S.A. concluded the sale of the Perfect Vision Mandatory Convertible Bonds to Vision Investment Management for an equivalent amount of $9.7 million (€7.4 million).
Within the framework of the treasury stock buyback program resolved by the board of directors' meeting on May 29, 2012 and subsequently modified on February 11, 2013 by the board of directors' meeting, which increased the maximum amount authorized by the buyback program from €50 million to €200 million, during the period January 1, to April 26, 2013, EXOR purchased 3,766,857 ordinary shares (2.35% of the class) at the average price per share of €21.95 for a total of €82.7 million, 818,300 preferred shares (1.07% of the class) at the average cost per share of €21.65 for a total of €17.7 million, in addition to 183,350 savings shares (2% of the class) at the average cost per share of €21.82 for a total of €4 million. The overall investment was €104.4 million.
On April 4, 2013 and May 2, 2013, EXOR S.A. paid Almacantar £8 million (€9.4 million) and £4 million (€4.7 million), respectively, for the remaining amount due on the capital increase of Almacantar S.A. fully subscribed to in 2011 but not completely paid.
The EXOR S.p.A. board of directors' meeting held on April 16, 2013, resolved to propose to the shareholders' meeting the renewal of the authorization for the purchase and disposal of treasury stock. Such authorization would enable the Company to purchase on the market, for 18 months from the date of the shareholders' resolution, ordinary and/or preferred and/or savings shares for a maximum number such as not to exceed the limit set by law, for a maximum disbursement of €450 million.
The board of directors resolved to propose to the extraordinary meeting of the shareholders, pursuant to articles 2443 and 2420 ter of the Italian Civil Code, the renewal of the five-year authorization to increase share capital, one or more times, also in divisible form, up to an amount of (nominal value) €500 million and to issue, in one or more times, bonds convertible into shares up to a maximum of €1 billion.
Finally, the board of directors, within the framework of the strategy already undertaken to extend its debt and in order to provide EXOR with new financial resources to pursue its activities, has also resolved on the possibility to issue within March 31, 2014 one or more bonds for a total amount not to exceed €1 billion, or the equivalent in another currency, to be placed with institutional investors either publicly or directly by private placements. After this decision, which guarantees EXOR flexibility, the Company will each time assess the opportunities offered by the market and fix the maturities and amount of any bond issues.
(a) CHF 68.1 million translated at the rate of 1.2209. (b) Of which €3.2 million will be recorded as a deduction of the carrying amount of the investment as the amount paid was drawn from the share premium reserve.
The judgments on the positions of Gianluigi Gabetti and Franzo Grande Stevens are still pending. | {

Memodo is a concept for controlling your home with small totems, like keys, toys, and coins.
The smart home of the future will likely be controlled with your voice, which is why companies like Google and Amazon are putting so much effort into getting their ears into your living room. But voice control feels impersonal. It's disconnected from the physicality of the objects with which we have intimate connections in our day-to-day lives.
Memodo is a new take on how the smart home of the future could be controlled. Instead of using your voice to dim the lights and Netflix-and-chill, you place physical totems representing those actions down in a specific place. So, for example, throwing your keys into the key bowl when you get home could kick up the jams, or turn on the A/C.
The heart of Memodo is a reader-bowl. It looks low tech, but the inner walls of the bowl actually include three low-res, off-the-shelf computer cams, which can detect the shape and color of the objects placed inside it. These objects are called totems, and can be anything that fit in the bowl: keys, dice, coins, shells, small toys, and so on.
Totems don't do anything, though, unless Memodo is trained to recognize them. When you place a new totem in the bowl, Memodo goes into recording mode, detecting the next few actions and changes you make in your smart home. During this period, you can set you environment however you want–turn your phone to Do Not Disturb mode, dim the lights, raise the heat, fire up Spotify, and so on. After you do this two or three times, Memodo will remember what the totem means, and perform those actions next time you place it in the bowl.
But there's no universal language for the IoT yet: a set of commonly agreed standards, like HTML or Wi-Fi, that allows all IoT devices to talk to one another. Until there is, Memodo will remain a tantalizing concept for a "parallel future" of the Internet of Things: one in which grandmothers put their grandchildren's birthstones in a bowl to call them on Skype, or kids use an Optimus Prime toy to turn on a Transformers cartoon. | {

Cash can be a valuable commodity when returns on financial assets turn negative. After all, cash is easy to manage, has no volatility and doesn't result in losses. Yet, cash is not abundantly available judging from global surveys such as by Bank of America. Those surveys are conducted among a diversified base of global investors. Respondents see excessive valuations and yet, portfolio cash levels have fallen to pre-crisis (see Fig. 1). A growing wedge between the perception of valuations and cash available to invest could pose a dangerous combination.
During the most recent bout of volatility, investors with significant cash positions likely fared much better than fully invested bond or stock portfolios that saw declines anywhere from 2 to 10 percent according to Barclays Bloomberg index data. Investors with sufficient cash are therefore in a preferential position. In political theory this is known as the "cash nexus." When capital and labor are totally controlled by monetary transactions, cash provides power to a few privileged in society. Currently, there are not many investors who are in a position of abundant cash. For example, cash in portfolios net of margin is negative and money market funds have dwindled below one percent of total U.S. market capitalization (see Fig. 2).
Low cash levels in institutional portfolios comes at a time the Federal Reserve has begun to withdraw cash from the financial system. Since last October, the Fed has reduced excess reserves by over $20 billion as part of the "reinvestment cap" set on maturing bonds on the Fed's balance sheet. Commercial banks' cash assets have also fallen since late 2014 when the Fed ended its QE3 program. At current pace, cash withdrawal by the Fed and bank's cash asset shrinkage could amount to more than $150 to $200 billion by the end of 2018.
If there is less cash available and concentrated in the hands of a few, the impact on the financial system's leverage could be meaningful. In recent years, financial leverage has risen to a record high driven by a low volatility and low interest rate environment (see Fig. 4). Recent string of inflation data caused a reassessment among investors that interest rates have to normalize further. When financial leverage is high and cash levels are low, shocks of volatility are to occur more frequently. A low level cash and rising rate environment could lead to unwind of financial leverage.
Financial markets are perhaps experiencing a cash nexus. Investors that are flushed with cash have the "power" to maneuver. Their portfolio returns are more stable than those of investors that are "cash strapped" (see black line versus blue line in Fig. 5).
Investors with less cash can experience quicker negative returns since they lack a cushion against rising volatility. When the next bout of volatility occurs, 60 percent stock and 40 percent bond portfolios could be adjusted with a greater cash weight to avoid significant drawdowns. That is the moment when deleveraging of the financial system on a larger scale starts. Current low cash levels are therefore a sign such an event could happen in the future.
Source: Bloomberg. 60/40 portfolio is 60% weight in S&P 500 index and 40% in Barclays Aggregate Index. The 60/40 portfolio is adjusted by taking a 20% weight in the Barclays T-bill index and adjust S&P 500 weight from 60% to 40%. | {

The Forewarning of 9-11 & the Israeli Fugitive
March 20, 2010 Christopher Bollyn 9-11 Archive 2006, News & Articles, Uncategorized
The case of the Israeli criminal Kobi Alexander is like the proverbial "tip of the iceberg." While Alexander's crimes, through which he became immensely wealthy, are now evident, they are but a small piece of a much larger Zionist criminal network – connected to the 9-11 terror attacks – which remains hidden beneath the surface.
Alexander, former head of the Israel-based Comverse Technology, was, until his crimes were discovered, one of the highest paid executives in the United States. In the year 2000, for example, he reportedly earned some $102.5 million, with $93 million coming from the "exercise of options." We now know that most of Alexander's money was made through the fraudulent "exercise of options."
Comverse Technology, the U.S.-based "parent company" of an older and much bigger Israel-based company with the same name, is the owner of the Verint, Ulticom, Starhome, Mercom and Startel companies. The key positions in these companies are all held by Israeli nationals.
Alexander, was recently allowed to flee the United States after he and two other former Comverse executives were charged with securities, mail and wire fraud by U.S. prosecutors in Brooklyn, New York. A warrant has been issued for his arrest. While a spokesman for the U.S. Attorney's office for the Eastern District of New York told me on August 15 that he "expected" that Alexander would turn himself in, the New York Times was rather less optimistic. "It will be a long time – if ever – before Alexander explains himself in a courtroom," the Times wrote on August 21. Alexander's lawyer, Robert Morvillo, said he "believed" that Alexander and his family were on vacation in Israel. Alexander, an Israeli citizen and a former military officer, wired $57 million to an account in Israel at the end of July and was evidently allowed to flee the United States.
"Given Alexander's stature and military service," the Times reported, quoting unnamed law professors, "Israel might be reluctant to readily hand him over." One might reasonably ask what the 54-year old Alexander's "military service" has to do with Israel refusing to extradite him for crimes committed in the United States? While Alexander is obviously connected with Israel's military intelligence apparatus and George Soros through the mutually owned investment fund ComSor, what is not widely reported is his company's close links with Odigo, the Israeli-run instant messaging company that received – and conveyed – urgent warning messages about the imminent terror attacks on the World Trade Center several hours before the first plane hit.
The New York Times certainly must be well aware of the personal and business connection between Alexander and Odigo since they did an extensive interview with Avner and Maskit Ronen, the founders of Odigo, for their Sunday magazine in September 2000. The magazine article about the Ronen's, titled "Immigrants with an I.P.O." could have been titled "Immigrants on a Mission." The Ronens, both with military backgrounds in computer science, "put down few roots," during their first years in New York City, the Times reported. "They made no friends outside the office and had no taste at all for networking at Silicon Alley parties," the NYT magazine wrote. "They sought neither driver's licenses nor a local physician." The bizarre photograph in the article showed two silhouetted figures hidden in the dark. These were the Ronens, Israeli military officers on a mission in New York.
ODIGO INSTANT MESSAGES
There is ample evidence that many Israelis were forewarned of the attacks through an Israeli instant messaging service called Odigo. This story, which presents the clearest evidence of Israeli prior knowledge of the attacks, was reported only very briefly in the U.S. media – and then completely forgotten and deleted. According to the news reports, at least two Israel-based employees of Odigo reported having received warnings of an imminent attack in New York City hours before the first plane hit the WTC. Odigo, an Israeli-owned company had its U.S. headquarters only two blocks from the World Trade Center, yet Odigo failed to pass the warning it had received on to the authorities in New York, a move that would have saved thousands of lives.
"The messages said something big was going to happen in a certain amount of time, and it did – almost to the minute," Alex Diamandis, Odigo's vice president, said two weeks after 9-11. "It was possible that the attack warning was broadcast to other Odigo members, but the company has not received reports of other recipients of the message," he added.
Based on the Israeli government figure that some 4,000 Israelis were expected to be in the World Trade Center at the time of the attacks, it seems evident that many Israeli Odigo users got the message. Odigo, which offers real-time messaging, has a feature called "People Finder" which allows a user to send an instant message to a large group based on a common characteristic, such as Israeli nationality. "People Finder" allows Odigo users to search for online "buddies," with filters like Israeli nationality, while maintaining user privacy at all times.
The Internet address of the sender of the warning was reportedly given to the FBI. Two months later it was reported that the FBI was still investigating the matter. Since then there have been no further media reports about the Odigo warning of 9-11.
As I have previously reported, Odigo, like Comverse and other Israel-based software companies, is really headquartered in Herzliya, Israel, the suburb of Tel Aviv where Israeli military intelligence headquarters are located. Typically, with these Israeli-intelligence linked outfits, the company's research and development, and any manufacturing, such as the "black box" computer surveillance equipment produced by Comverse, is all done in Israel. The U.S. offices merely function as distribution, marketing, and financial centers. In the case of Comverse, for example, the real parent company was Alexander's Tel Aviv-based Efrat Future Technology Ltd., which carried out "all research, development, and manufacturing," for Comverse, according to a 1992 article in the Jerusalem Post.
Shortly after 9-11, Odigo was completely taken over by Comverse Technology, which had been part owner of Odigo since early 2000, if not earlier. Shortly after 9-11, five executives from Comverse were reported to have profited by more than $267 million from "insider trading."
Avner Ronen, the "founder" of Odigo, was Vice President of Business Development of Comverse Technology in October 2005. This indicates that Ronen and Alexander, both Israeli military officers with computer backgrounds, have been close business partners since early 2000. "Comverse and Odigo have had a long-standing partnership and together have developed instant communications products and services that we have recently begun to offer to operators around the world," Zeev Bregman, CEO of the Israel-based Comverse Ltd., told the Jerusalem Post in May 2002. | {

Amitriptyline hydrochloride is a dibenzocycloheptene-derivative tricyclic antidepressant (TCA). TCAs are structurally similar to phenothiazines. They contain a tricyclic ring system with an alkyl amine substituent on the central ring. In non-depressed individuals, amitriptyline does not affect mood or arousal, but may cause sedation. In depressed individuals, amitriptyline exerts a positive effect on mood. TCAs are potent inhibitors of serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake. Tertiary amine TCAs, such as amitriptyline, are more potent inhibitors of serotonin reuptake than secondary amine TCAs, such as nortriptyline. TCAs also down-regulate cerebral cortical β-adrenergic receptors and sensitize post-synaptic serotonergic receptors with chronic use. The antidepressant effects of TCAs are thought to be due to an overall increase in serotonergic neurotransmission. TCAs also block histamine-H1 receptors, α1-adrenergic receptors and muscarinic receptors, which accounts for their sedative, hypotensive and anticholinergic effects (e.g. blurred vision, dry mouth, constipation, urinary retention), respectively. See toxicity section below for a complete listing of side effects. Amitriptyline may be used to treat depression, chronic pain (unlabeled use), irritable bowel syndrome (unlabeled use), diabetic neuropathy (unlabeled use), post-traumatic stress disorder (unlabeled use), and for migraine prophylaxis (unlabeled use).
An anxiolytic benzodiazepine derivative with anticonvulsant, sedative, and amnesic properties. It has also been used in the symptomatic treatment of alcohol withdrawal.
"LD50=350 mg/kg (in mice). Symptoms of overdose include abnormally low blood pressure, confusion, convulsions, dilated pupils and other eye problems, disturbed concentration, drowsiness, hallucinations, impaired heart function, rapid or irregular heartbeat, reduced body temperature, stupor, and unresponsiveness or coma.
Side effects include: sedation, hypotension, blurred vision, dry mouth, constipation, urinary retention, postural hypotension, tachycardia, hypertension, ECG changes, heart failure, impaired memory and delirium, and precipitation of hypomanic or manic episodes in bipolar depression.
LD50=537 mg/kg (Orally in rats). Signs of overdose include respiratory depression, muscle weakness, somnolence (general depressed activity).
For the treatment of depression, chronic pain, irritable bowel syndrome, sleep disorders, diabetic neuropathy, agitation and insomnia, and migraine prophylaxis.
For the management of anxiety disorders or for the short-term relief of symptoms of anxiety, withdrawal symptoms of acute alcoholism, and preoperative apprehension and anxiety. | {

Palio eller Palio delle contrade, är en hästkapplöpning mellan olika stadsdelar som förekommer i flera italienska städer, t.ex. Siena (Toscana) och Feltre (Veneto). Kapplöpningen i Siena som är den mest kända palion hålls två gånger varje år (2 juli och 16 augusti) på det centrala torget Piazza del Campo och vid särskilda tillfällen har man tre.
Regler och historik
Man lägger jord för hästkapplöpningsbana på torget och sätter upp läktare för tävlingarna. Det är bara 10 contrador som tävlar. De som inte är med det innevarande året, får vara med i nästa års Palio. De tre sista platserna lottas in under högtidliga former några veckor innan Palion. Man lottar ut hästarna till de olika contradorna ungefär en vecka före tävlingarna. Contradorna införskaffar en jockey som rider för contradan, vilka sedan rider barbacka och i princip allt är tillåtet utom att piska de andras hästar.
Kampen i palion är inte bara en hästkapplöpning utan också ett rävspel mellan contradorna. De köper och säljer gentjänster. Olika contrador är urgamla fiender och vänner. Till och med vid startlinjen köper och säljer jockyerna gentjänster mellan varandra.
Man lottar startplaceringarna strax före start. Ryttare 1-9 står i en rad så gott de kan vid första repet, ryttare 10 står lite bakom alla och är den som har starten i sina händer. Så fort ryttare 10 sticker så börjar det, och ryttare 10 försöker givetvis starta när fienderna inte är beredda och vännerna är, och det finns en lucka i startledet.
Palion är till skillnad från många andra inte en återskapad gammal tradition. Den har pågått kanske till och med från medeltiden, men i sin nuvarande form grundades den någon gång under 1700-talet. Till skillnad från stadsstaterna så utvecklades palion i Siena till bli ett folkligt skådespel snarare än adelsmännens tidsfördriv och detta är troligen ett stort skäl till att den fortfarande lever vidare idag.
De 17 contradorna
Samtidigt som contradorna är stadsdelar, så är ett medlemskap något man föds in i. Fast man skulle råka flytta in i en annan stadsdel så har man kvar den contradatillhörighet man har fått från första början.
Övrigt
James Bond-filmen "Quantum of Solace" spelades in under palion i augusti 2007.

Taking place as a durational party-performance in the site of original "Eldorado" cabaret – today a gay fetish club – Babyhay appears as the spirit of queer Berlin's past and future in drag. From her bed in the darkroom cellar of Mutschmann's, Babyhay projects her image into the dense void of online space. Her content, aims, and identity are purposefully unclear, and yet, her only constant is that she ceaselessly looks back at us. She lives in a simulated world where everything appears to be comfortable, all is easy access, and with this laissez-faire attitude – the dreamland of the Internet – tries to create an atmosphere that lures and lulls us into hypnosis. She is only able to look at us because we are looking at her: the performance is broadcasted live onto Facebook and Instagram, two of the most widely used social media platforms. She attacks you from anywhere you may be, taking possession of your screen – is she cute or is she annoying, is this comfortable or is this uncanny? Who is she, no, what is she, is she even a "she"? The constant self-recording, self-exposing, the accumulating selfie-tyranny that pollutes all feeds, all streams, all lines of communication is made possible by the long duration of the performance as well as the use of multiple devices, from computers to smart phones to tablets. The event is open to the public on site, as well as viewable online, and will be accompanied by live DJ sets, drinks, and audience participation.
Mutschmanns: – legendary transvestite bar, and also the site of the gay disco Querelle and, before its transformation into Mutschmanns, Cafe Connection. The venue has been a gay establishment since 1926, a sign of the various times and attitudes that have come to shape nightlife and celebration cultures. Babyhay addresses this history but also performs the mutability of bodies as images on display, mediated by the Internet, smart phones, and social media.
António Onio (1989) studied dance at SNDO, School for New Dance Development, in Amsterdam. From 2011 António started developing his own works as well as works in collaboration with Miguel Pereira, Tian Rotteveel, Igor Dobricic, Diego Gil, Tiago Guedes and others. In 2013 he received the DanceWeb Scholarship in Vienna, Austria. Since 2010 the main focus of his artistic approach has concentrated on the fine barriers between the private and the personal as well as the body as a tool. His practice specifically engages with queer thematics, questioning roles of the self within western society, the persistence of homophobia and patriarchy, as well as relentlessly promoting vulnerability, softness and suppleness as weapons to fight the system that entraps us everyday so fast.
This event will be in English (no translation) and takes place at Mutschmann's, Martin-Luther-Str. 19, 10777 Berlin-Schöneberg.
This event is part of the public programme in association with the exhibition »Odarodle – An imaginary their_story of naturepeoples, 1535-2017«, running from July 21st till October 16th at Schwules Museum*.
»Odarodle« is funded by the International Museum Fellowship Programme of the German Federal Cultural Foundation. Presented by Siegessäule – we are queer Berlin. | {

After a dry start in the east, rain, locally heavy, and strong winds will move east with local gales, severe around southern/western coasts. Then turning brighter and showery in the west, but further rain and gales in the northwest later.
Swathe of strong winds, accompanied by heavy rain at times, will move east across England and Wales on Saturday. This is expected to bring gusts of 40-50 mph to some inland areas, perhaps topping 60 mph across exposed coasts and hills. Latest indications are that the strongest gusts are more likely across southern and eastern parts of the country, with parts of north Wales and northern England less likely to see any impacts.
Tyne Fish Pass official opening by Robson Green – who said that he has fished across the world and the Tyne is still his favourite river.
Good to see that fish have now moved over the fish pass. Fish have been caught in the Corbridge to Hexham area. The quality of the fish remain good – with an average weight of 13lb reported.
Ness (Inverness) – good news is that the river Ness has started to pick up some early fish, and some crackers at that. A Hatrick on the Ness At Dochfour. Rory caught a 14lbr, followed by 15lbr and an 18lbr all prior to lunch and lost a 4th fish too.
Tweed (Borders) – river is currently at a good height, nice condition and clear – could do with being a little bit warmer 43 with this wind. Need a bit of water to move the fish around – small spate. Couple of feet rise would move them around. 29 so far this week – largest at Rutherford – I'm fishing there on Monday – reporting for the April Tweed newsletter.
Firth of Forth – new section to the site – which includes the River Teith.
Stirling Council owns one of the last remaining local authority owned salmon fisheries in Scotland, it is arguably one of the best value for money fisheries in the Scotland with fishing on the River Teith and River Forth.
Predominantly the main runs of salmon come in early season, with prime time being March, April and May. The average size of salmon from the Teith falls into the 10 ñ 20lb category but every year it produces fish exceeding the 20lb mark. Teith springers are very iconic and resemble the look of torpedoes.
Saturday 9th April – Spring Salmon Fishing Experienced guides and a fully qualified AAPGAI casting instructor will be on hand to help explain tactics and techniques for approaching a variety of pools on the lower beats of the river.
Each morning anglers will meet at Hoddom Castle at 9am each morning for breakfast and introductory session before heading to the river. The cost is just £30 per day or £50 for anglers attending both days. | {

Mumbai: The Wakf properties are meant exclusively for Muslims only. Muslims only have the legal right over them. After the publication of the report of Central Parliamentary Committee now it is the responsibility of the government to remove illegal encroachments from the Wakf properties. These demands were made by Senior MLA in the Maharashtra Assembly Basheer Moosa Patel Qasmi. He was replying to the leader of the opposition Ram Das Kadam. It is to be noted that Ram Das Kadam during his speech had demanded for a CBI enquiry in the whole matter of the illegal encroachment of the Wakf properties.
When Mr. Basheer Moosa Patel Qasmi rose up to answer Ramdas Kadam the Speaker of the House tried to stop him from speaking. However, Mr. Basheer Moosa continued saying, "It is related to my Community and I must speak up. The rights of the Muslims are being denied and I will not sit quite". He put forth the demand to the government "to take every possible step to return these properties to the Muslims as they are the rightful owners of them".
Leader of the Opposition Ram Das Kadam also alleged senior leaders of the Congress are involved in encroaching the Wakf properties He also asked for a legal action against the culprits in this whole affair including the then Chief Minister. The Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) headed by the Deputy Speaker of Rajya Sabha K. Rahman Khan had reported that the Wakf Board of Maharashtra has sold off huge lands. Mr. Ram Das Kadam wanted severe action against the Chairman of Maharashtra Wakf Board. The Speaker of the House ordered to note this matter.
Meanwhile, in New Delhi, Maulana Nawabuddin Naqshabandi has welcomed the 14 March udgment of the Delhi High Court. He said, "This order is applicable to all of the Muslim graveyards on the Wakf land. Maulana Naqshbandi asked the Wakf Board to acquire the Graveyard at Meer Dard Road and erect boundary land on the free land and install the Wakf Board so that these can be protected from land Mafia. As regards the Khasra Number 142 he said, "The plot along the Guradwara is lying vacant and some anti-social elements are trying to encroach this".
"In the year 2008 most of the land at the Takia Kale Khan was lying vacant. At that point time of Shahi Imam Maulana Syed Abdullah Bukhari rushed there and saved the Muslim population from uprooting. At that time also the Wkaf Board did not install its boards. Consequently, the land Mafia encroached the Wakf land" groaned Maulana Nawabuddin Naqshabndi. He further proposed that to generate income from this land the Wakf Board may start collecting monthly rents from the residents of this land.
Sare Jahan Se Accha
Hindustan Hamara
In 1905 more than 100 years from today, when Iqbal was a lecturer at the Government College, Lahore he was invited by his student Lala Hardayal to preside over a function. Instead of making a speech, Iqbal sang Sare Jahan Se Accha Hindustan Hamara in his style. Iqbal compiled this poem in praise of India and the poem preaches the communal harmony that had unfortunately started ceasing in India by that time. Each and every word in this poem depicts an Indian's respect and love for the motherland and the values the Indian society inherited for long...Read Full

Simon Abeles (1681 – 21 February 1694) was a Prague Jewish boy who died under unclear circumstances in the age of twelve. His Christian contemporaries put Simon's death in context of his desire to be baptized and was considered a religiously motivated murder.
Life and death
Simon Abeles was born in a prominent Prague Jewish family. His father Lazar Abeles was a merchant. Simon's grandfather Moyses ben David Bunzel Abeles was the mayor of the Jewish Community in Prague.
In the 1690s the Prague Jesuits led an aggressive missionary campaign focused on Jewish children and adolescents, encouraging them to become Christian. In the summer of 1693, 12-year-old Simon Abeles decided to resolve his problematic relations with his father by running away from home to the Jesuits in Clementinum (St. Clement's Jesuit College in the Old Town of Prague) where he learned the basics of the Catholic faith. Later his father took him back home.
The tension continued between the fierce-tempered father and the defiant son, who was often beaten. On 21 February 1694, the boy's severe punishment ended in tragedy. Simon was hit so hard (probably by his relative Löbl Kurtzhandel in presence of Simon's father Lazar) that he fell and broke his neck. The two men tried to cover up the incident by hastily burying the body, but the affair soon came to light as a result of denunciation. The authorities ordered the body exhumed and arrested the boy's father, his third wife Leah and their cook. Lazar hanged himself, from fear of being tortured. Kurtzhandel was arrested and later was the only one to stand trial. There are alternative interpretations of the incident that indicate another conclusion.
The Jesuits sought the boy's beatification. The appellate court of the Kingdom of Bohemia allegedly fabricated a charge of premeditated murder out of hatred for the faith. On 31 March 1694 the boy was buried as a martyr with great pomp in the Church of Our Lady before Týn in Prague. Löbl Kurtzhandel was sentenced to be broken on a wheel. In order to reduce his suffering, however, he agreed to be baptized and before his beheading publicly admitted to the killing (although not to murder).

Coronavirus Hits Schools: Student, School Employee Among the Likely Infected
By Denisa R. Superville — February 29, 2020 3 min read
As the number of U.S. cases of coronavirus increased through the weekend, the third case with a direct connection to K-12 schools emerged in Rhode Island, the Boston Globe reported.
A 40-year-old man who had traveled to Europe on a trip with a Catholic high school in Pawtucket, R.I., has tested "presumptive positive" for the virus after returning from a trip to Italy, France, and Spain in mid-February, state health officials said.
That case follows health officials announcing Friday night that a student in suburban Seattle and a school employee in suburban Portland, Ore., are among the new suspected coronavirus cases in the U.S.
The cases, reported late Friday, concern health officials because in both instances, it's unclear how the two school-connected individuals contracted the virus. In both cases, neither individual had traveled to countries where there are outbreaks of the coronavirus or had contact with individuals who had done so.
Those are worrisome signs that the coronavirus is spreading from "person-to-person" in the community.
"It's concerning that this individual did not travel, since this individual acquired it in the community," Washington state health officer Dr. Kathy Lofy, said at a press conference announcing two new cases in the state, according to the Seattle Times. "We really believe now that the risk is increasing."
Officials said that they got "presumptive" positive tests in both of the cases. Final results still must be confirmed by the federal Centers For Disease Control and Prevention.
On Saturday afternoon, a person infected with coronavirus died, Washington state officials said. It is the first U.S. death from the virus. A second death from the virus, also in the state, came later in the weekend.
The Washington state high school student, who attends Henry M. Jackson High School in the Everett school district north of Seattle, felt sick Monday and visited two clinics during the week. The student felt better and returned to school briefly Friday, but went home after the test showed the positive results, according to the Seattle Times.
Students who had contact with the sick student are undergoing a 14-day quarantine and monitoring periods at their homes, the Everett school district said in an update on its website.
The student's sibling attends a district middle school and was also being tested and quarantined, although they showed no symptoms of the disease, the district said.
The district said it was taking the situation "very seriously," and that out of an abundance of caution it would close the school through March 2, for three days of "deep disinfecting."
In Oregon, it was an employee of the Forest Hills Elementary School in the Lake Oswego School District, close to Portland, who had a "presumptive" positive test, health officials said late Friday.
Lake Oswego officials are closing the 430-student K-5 school for "deep cleaning" through March 4, according to Oregon Live. The employee is being isolated at a local hospital while receiving treatment there.
In a news conference Saturday, Lake Oswego Superintendent Lora de la Cruz said public health officials said it was not necessary to close other schools in the district. But she said all schools and buses would be cleaned and disinfected before students return to schools Monday morning
The affected employee, de la Cruz said, "at this point, it appears that this person likely only had close contact with a few individuals."

Who Has Authority to Close Schools in Public Health Crisis?
Earlier this week, officials with the CDC said that Americans should be prepared for the inevitable spread of the coronavirus in the country and urged schools to prepare their responses to the likely outbreaks.
So far, 65 cases of the coronavirus have been reported in the U.S., with the majority of those cases involving Americans who had contracted the disease abroad in areas that are affected by the outbreak.
They recommended that the public contact their employers and school systems about their plans in the event of an outbreak.
While school districts have been posting notices on their websites largely focused on preventative measures that parents, students, and staff can take to minimize the risks of contracting coronavirus, it's unclear whether they have concrete plans on how to keep a system running in the long term if they're required to shut down.
And just who will ultimately make the call about widespread school closures is an important issue for district leaders to get clarity on. A 2008 research paper that examined the legal and logistical issues concluded that most states have multiple legal avenues for ordering school closures. Mark Walsh has much more on that here.

Cybercrime: The Importance of Knowledge, Preparation &Vigilance yber-safety, a common term used to describe a set of practices, mea- sures and/or actions that pro- tect technology and informa- tion from attacks, is a hot topic in business these days. Every company – whether large or small – is a target for cyber- crime, and being prepared and vigilant has become an absolute necessity. Understanding security threats is a good place to start. Today's most common issues span five basic categories: •Viruses, which infect com- puters through email attach- ments and file sharing, can delete files, attack other com- puters and make systems run slowly. •Hackers are people who "trespass" into computers from remote locations. They can then cause the breached machine to malfunction, or use it to host a website, send spam or spread viruses. •Identity thieves obtain un- authorized access to personal information, such as social security and financial account numbers. They can then use this information to commit crimes such as fraud or theft. •Spyware, which is software that piggybacks on programs that are downloaded, gathers information about a user's online habits and transmits personal information without their knowledge. •Ransomware is a more recent – and rapidly grow- ing – threat. Perpetrators restrict access to software programs and files, most of- ten by encrypting them, and then demand that the users pay a ransom to remove the restriction. These issues are serious, and they are becoming more prevalent. Symantec, a cyber- security tool provider, re- ported that security breaches increased by 23 percent in 2014. More than 317 million new pieces of malware were created, averaging to nearly 1 million new threats each day. For businesses, the reality of a security breach can be devastating and costly. An IBM study found the "aver- age consolidated total cost of a data breach" in 2014 was C
$3.8 million, and that the cost for each stolen or lost record containing sensitive informa- tion was $154. Additionally, consider the costs associated with downtime resulting in lost access to the computing network, or the implications of the exposure of confidential customer data, company finan- cial information and business intelligence. How, then, can a company minimize its exposure? First, all devices connected to the business' computing network should meet certain security standards. Second, and equal- ly important, management should provide staff with the services and training needed to meet these cyber-safety standards. In a recently published Em- ployee Hack Guide, IBS out- lines seven actions that help protect computers and data. In most cases, the implementa- tion of these security measures takes only a few minutes. 1.Install OS/software up- dates. Updates, sometimes called patches, fix problems with an operating system (OS) (e.g., Windows XP, Windows Vista, Mac OS X) and software programs (e.g., Microsoft Of- fice applications). Most new operating systems are set to download updates by default. After updates are downloaded, users are asked to install them. Click yes! 2. Run anti-virus software. To avoid computer problems caused by viruses, install and run an anti-virus program like Vipre, a product from Threat- Track. Periodically, check to see if the anti-virus is up to date by opening the anti-virus programand checking the date of the last update. 3.Prevent identity theft. Never give out financial ac-
count numbers, Social Secu- rity numbers, driver's license numbers or other personal identity information unless the recipient is known. Never send personal or confidential information via email or in- stant messages, as these can be easily intercepted. Beware of phishing scams – a form of fraud that uses email mes- sages that appear to be from a reputable business (often a financial institution) in an attempt to gain personal or account information. 4.Turn on personal firewalls. Check computer security set- tings for built-in personal firewalls – and turn them on. Firewalls act as protective bar- riers between computers and the internet. Hackers search the Internet by sending out pings (calls) to random com- puters and wait for responses. Firewalls prevent computers from responding. 5.Avoid spyware/adware. Spyware and adware take up memory, and can slow down computers and cause other problems. Use Spybot and Ad- Aware to remove spyware/ad- ware. Both of these programs are available online for free. 6. Protect passwords. Never share passwords. Establish a company "safe word" that a support technician requesting your work system login must know. Do not use one of these common passwords or any variation of them: qwerty1, abc123, letmein, password1, iloveyou1, (yourname)1, base- ball1. Change your password periodically. When choosing a password, mix upper and lower case letters and use a minimum of eight characters. 7. Back up important files. Reduce the risk of losing im- portant files to a virus, com- continued on page 3A

Hollister Const. builds first Maggiano's Little Italy in Garden City, NY
Lake Plaza Shopping Center to expand to over 166,000 s/f Heidenberg Properties plans Stop & Shop redevelopment
Stop & Shop at Lake Plaza Shopping Center rendering
Maggiano's Little Italy
"This project has been in the planning stages for quite some time and will be transforma- tive," said Robert Heiden- berg , president and CEO of Heidenberg Properties. "We purchased this property as a redevelopment opportunity in June 2008 with the intent of adding value through compel- ling anchor tenants." Stop & Shop currently operates 403 stores throughout New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island, and is one of four regional divi- sions of Ahold USA. The Stop & Shop lease prompted ownership to further reinvest in the center. Located at the intersection of Route 6 and Baldwin Lane, Lake Plaza "We believe that the UWS (NW corner of 88th Street & Columbus Avenue) is one of the few areas of the city that has a dearth of fitness options. We are excited for Upper West Siders to experience SLT, which provides clients the full- body results they've always wanted through a trendy chal- lenging, core-intensive work- out," said Freeman. "Unlike our competitors, we provide a semi-private experience on one machine that does it all in 50-minutes. Thanks to con- tinued and growing interest in the SLT fitness method, we are constantly on the lookout for new locations that will bring the workout to those who that has over 4,600 locations, and does over $13 billion in retail hardware sales annually. The new event of Stop & Shop taking over the former Waldbaums supermarket will add to the success of the re- development. The center also has a CVS pharmacy, Game- Stop, and Chase Bank. Breslin
Shopping Center is slated to undergo a total renovation which will include a new façade for the in-line tenants, modifi- cations to the shopping center's pylon sign, and a complete resurfacing of the parking lot including additional parking spaces, new LED lighting, and landscaping. The renovation will have significant benefits to the town and is an overall improvement to the center. "Once construction is com- pleted, the tenants and cus- tomers of Lake Plaza Shopping Center will enjoy a first-class, modern retail environment," stated Heidenberg. Shopping center tenants also include Kmart, KeyBank, and a num- ber of local businesses. n Freeman became obsessed with the workout and its transformative results while traveling regularly to Los An- geles for work. "New Yorkers have a limited amount of time and they want to see results quickly," said Freeman. "This one-of-a-kind fitness program offers them the results they want – strengthening, length- ening and toning in an ef- ficient and fun way." With a keen sense on what works in the fitness and wellness com- munity, as she co-founded the healthy living website Vital Juice, Amanda knew that this workout was destined for an NYC following. n can't currently access a studio conveniently."
AHOPAC, NY — The Stop & Shop Supermarket Com-
struction Services. Strategically located across from the new Neiman Marcus and adjacent to the Roosevelt Field Mall, the restaurant brand made its grand opening in December 2015, just in time for the holidays. "We invite our friends and new neighbors in the New York area into Maggiano's to see what we're all about," said Joseph Peluso, General Manager of Maggiano's Little Italy Roosevelt. "Our talented chefs are excited to put our scratch kitchens to work and whip up classic Italian- American dishes for guests." The Hollister team leading this effort included Dominick Aquilina, project executive, John McKee , project man- ager, Frank Gomez , super- intendent, Tina Girardo , assistant project manager and Michelle Rogers , project co- ordinator. The project consul- tants included The Treeline Companies , a value-add asset developer and Gerdes Henrichson Architecture , a leading architecture/develop- ment service firm. n Fox, president of Fox The- atres, "While I'm not usually a big fan of 3D, since we've tested this screen with amaz- ing results I now can't wait to see the new Star Wars film in FTX 3D!" Additionally, the Christie Digital Projector has been upgraded to 4K, four times the resolution, provid- ing a major increase in screen detail - creating dazzlingly bright, razor-sharp images in both 2D and 3D. Fox Theatres operates five theaters with thirty-two screens: FOX BERKSHIRE 8 and FOX EAST 4 in Read- ing, PA; SUN & SURF 8 and GOLD COAST 4 in Ocean City, MD; and ACADEMY 8 in Greenbelt, MD. n
GARDEN CITY, NY — Hollister Construction Ser- vices has constructed a new 8,900 s/f, 280-seat Maggiano's Little Italy restaurant in Gar- den City, NY, the chain's first restaurant in New York State. The Italian restaurant has an open floor plan layout, three dining areas, a bar with a dining area and a take-out area. The restaurant also fea- tures a 2,500 - 3,000 s/f state- of-the-art scratch kitchen equipped with top-of-the line equipment. Maggiano's is owned by Brinker International, Inc.

Research Support Tools
A group of seven people are pictured sitting on a light-colored floor, with their backs against a brightly painted wall. The people are smiling and laughing and appear to be talking to each other. Some are holding laptop computers.
What is Community-Engaged Research?
Community-engaged research meets the needs of the community by involving those who have a stake in improving health. This can include communities and their members, patients, clinicians, researchers, purchasers, payers, industry, hospitals and health systems, training institutions and policymakers.
Why is Community-Engaged Research important?
Penn State believes that community-engaged research produces better research. Together, researchers and the community can participate as full partners in the research process. These partnerships develop evidence-based practices and community health coalitions, translate research into policy and practice, and much more.
How does Penn State Clinical and Translational Science Institute support Community Engaged Research?
The Clinical and Translational Science Institute works with Penn State researchers and the community to:
provide assistance with the engagement of community and multi-disciplinary research teams in strategic partnerships that translate research into policy and practice
ensure communities have the capacity to participate as full partners in the research process, are consulted for their research priorities, respected, valued and rewarded for collaborative activities
ensure understanding of and strong support for research and ultimately the enhanced health of individuals and communities across their lifespan
nurture opportunities for scientific discoveries
develop evidence based practices for successful university/community partnerships
develop community health coalitions
Researchers interested in more information, or help in setting up a research project in the community, as well as stakeholders and communities interested in more information on working with the Clinical and Translational Science Institute, should email [email protected].

About Penn State Clinical and Translational Science Institute Expand answer
Penn State Clinical and Translational Science Institute accelerates discoveries to benefit human health. It is a bridge between basic scientists and clinical researchers and promotes collaboration to discover new treatments, medical procedures and ways to diagnose disease. It helps the Penn State community move its health research more efficiently and effectively out of the science laboratories and into use by the people who need it.
The Institute was established in 2007 and is a member of the National Institutes of Health Clinical and Translational Science Award Network (Grant: UL1 TR002014). It is one of three network members in Pennsylvania and focuses on the health needs of the rural communities that surround Penn State and its academic health system, Penn State Health.
It accomplishes its mission by providing research tools, advanced biostatistical expertise, funding programs for exploration of unique ideas and through a dedicated team for including the community more effectively into research. The Institute also trains the next generation of translational and clinical scientists.
The Institute works with researchers and the community to provide new solutions that will improve the process of turning observations in a lab, clinic or community into methods that improve the health of the citizens of Pennsylvania.
With locations at Penn State College of Medicine in Hershey and the College of Health and Human Development at University Park, the Institute develops community partnerships to promote health, reduce the gaps and improve the delivery of care across the state.

Allow your brand to stand out and be recognised. A strong clear brand creates client trust and recognition. You want your audience to recognise and identify you and your brand within a certain area of expertise. The Makeup Artist Guild's CEO Melanie Burnicle shares important tips on building your personal brand.
Ask yourself questions. Discovering the answers helps you to become better acquainted with yourself and your personal brand's direction. Start thinking of your personal brand as though it were a business. Ask yourself WHY, understanding your drive and motivation is an important tool to guide you. Why do you do what you do? Make a list of all the reasons you love being a makeup artist. Knowing and understanding your "WHY" will help you promote and sell your brand. People buy into an idea and its passion before they buy into a brand.
Your WHY will sell your brand's image/message because it will have passion and purpose. Authenticity is key. What does your personal brand represent? How do you want your personal brand to be perceived by your potential clients? What are your values? Who are you? What's your story? What's your point of difference? What are your business goals for 2017? What do you want your clients to know about your brand? What message are you currently sending your clients? And what message would you like to send your clients? Who is your target market? What are your strengths and your weaknesses? The answers will help give your brand clarity. All good trusted personal brands have a clear story and purpose. Research people globally who have a strong brand and learn what they do well.
Be purposeful in the content you create to share. Once you have a clear vision of your brand make sure it has a presence in all that you share.
Create an online strategy that will help you deliver a clear message.
Create your personal brand's website. Align your social media accounts.
BE mindful about the messaging throughout each and every post you create. This will allow a consistent message to be sent to your followers. There is so much content available these days, adding value to your content will help you stand out and be trusted.
Be a part of your industry community and build your profile amongst your industry peers. Attend networking events and become social within your industry. The MAGAP will run its inaugural awards program this year with categories for all genres of Makeup Artists. Entries will open in late April and entry is available to members at a discounted rate. The awards event will take place in October 2017. Ensure your brand and your beauty advisors get involved and get noticed.
Growing your brand is much easier when you understand and have all of the above in place! It will organically start to connect the right people to your brand.
MAGAP is the trusted voice for the makeup community; aiming to unite all genres of makeup artists in the Asia Pacific region. Join our community of makeup artists to learn more about how to make your makeup artistry business thrive.

Q: "FailedParse: [...] Expecting end of text" when trying to parse parenthesized expressions in grako In search_query.ebnf, I have the following grammar definition for grako 3.14.0:
@@grammar :: SearchQuery
start = search_query $;
search_query = parenthesized_query | combined_query | search_term;
parenthesized_query = '(' search_query ')';
combined_query = search_query binary_operator search_query;
binary_operator = '&' | '|';
search_term = /\w+/;
I generate the parser with
grako search_query.ebnf --outfile search_query_parser.py
The result works as I expected for these inputs:
import search_query_parser
parser = search_query_parser.SearchQueryParser()
parser.parse('a') # -> 'a'
parser.parse('(a)') # -> ['(', 'a', ')']
parser.parse('a & b') # -> ['a', '&', 'b']
parser.parse('a | b') # -> ['a', '|', 'b']
parser.parse('(a|b)&c') # -> ['(', ['a', '|', 'b'], ')', '&', 'c']
but if I have a parenthesized expression at the right hand side of an operator, the parser gives me an error message:
parser.parse('c&(a|b)')
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>

Am I doing something wrong?
A:
Am I doing something wrong?
I don't think so.
This looks like a known bug in grako concerning "left recursion".
The workaround mentioned in the bug seems to work for your case, too:
@@grammar :: SearchQuery
start = search_query $;
search_query = parenthesized_query | combined_query | search_term;
parenthesized_query = '(' search_query | search_term ')'; ## Workaround
combined_query = search_query binary_operator search_query;
binary_operator = '&' | '|';
search_term = /\w+/;
i.e. mention search_term explicitly inside the parentheses, even though the search_query rule should be able to produce it, too.

Q: coreData returning only one result Having this weird issue, No matter what predicate I apply its only returning one result, and if I don't add any predicate its returns all the rows of the table, what I want is only return the rows with matching progIds
I have the list of programIds and based on that I want to search in TvInfo table.
.......
......
progId = [Int64(3211),Int64(16844)] // hardcored ids from tvInfo table
let tvInfoRequest: NSFetchRequest<TvInfo> = TvInfo.fetchRequest()
tvInfoRequest.predicate = NSPredicate(format: "progId == %i", argumentArray: progId)
tvInfoRequest.returnsDistinctResults = true
tvInfoRequest.resultType = .managedObjectResultType
var tvShows = [TvInfo]()
coreDataStack.managedObjectContext.performAndWait({
do{
let tvInfoResult = try self.coreDataStack.managedObjectContext.fetch(tvInfoRequest)
tvShows = tvInfoResult
} catch {
fatalError("Error fetching channels displayShow")
}
})
I thought maybe some issue with progId (type mismatch Int64), so I tried fetching using the tvShow name (with exact showNames from tvInfo table still getting only one result, (first name passed in the array)
tvInfoRequest.predicate = NSPredicate(format: "progName MATCHES %@", argumentArray: ["Supercar Superbuild","Kanahiya Bhaiya Live"])
weird thing is I used the same logic to fetch progIds from channels Table and its working fine(getting progId with exact matches) and its working for other tables also like channel Id fetching from channel tables
// fetching progIds from channel table
let tvScheduleRequest: NSFetchRequest<TvSchedule> = TvSchedule.fetchRequest()
tvScheduleRequest.predicate = NSPredicate(format: "chId == %i", argumentArray: channelIds)
tvScheduleRequest.returnsDistinctResults = true
var progId = [Int64]()
coreDataStack.managedObjectContext.performAndWait({
do{
let tvScheduleResult = try self.coreDataStack.managedObjectContext.fetch(tvScheduleRequest)
if tvScheduleResult.count > 0 {
for array in tvScheduleResult {
progId.append(array.progId)
}
}
} catch {
fatalError("Error fetching channels to display show")
}
})
PS:
*
*Its returning 1 row so it's not an issue of context, wrong key,
thread
*there are data in table as if I don't apply any predicate its
returning 100+ rows
*I am using argumentArray for predicate, not single args CVarArg.
Thanks for help
A: In predicate try using %@ instead of %i.
tvInfoRequest.predicate = NSPredicate(format: "progId == %i", argumentArray: progId).
One more thing check the variable that you are passing to predicate progId.

North East Research staff praised for efforts in Falcon-MoonShot study
Falcon C-19 (Facilitating Accelerated CLinical evaluation Of Novel diagnostic tests for COVID-19) is an Urgent Public Health study (UPH), led by Kimberley Webster. It has been recruiting very successfully since early July at The Newcastle upon Tyne Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (Newcastle Hospitals), with the site being one of the top recruiters nationally.
At the request of the Government, the study was deemed high priority to investigate the critical implementation of point of care testing. On the 8th of September, the UK Department of Health tasked the FALCON C-19 team in Manchester with finding a solution for COVID-19 testing in the UK. The Falcon-Moonshot: Workstream B project was rapidly implemented to analyse current COVID-19 testing and evaluate the use of new 30-minute devices at testing centres, with the aim of quickening turnaround times of results.
The Falcon MoonShot protocol received full ethical approval on September 15th and the first participant was recruited by Manchester on September 18th. The Newcastle Great Park team was initiated on the 30th Sept and recruited its first participant on the 1st October. They went on to recruit the highest number of participants (123) across the 15 nationwide testing sites before Falcon-Moonshot study closed on 23rd October.
A team consisting of staff and volunteers from across the CRN North East and North Cumbria, St Johns Ambulance, Newcastle Hospitals, Newcastle University and Cumbria, Northumberland, Tyne and Wear NHS Foundation Trust worked together on the study.
The initial target for Falcon MoonShot was 200 participants. However, the study went on to recruit a total of 878 participants, all of which were approached from testing centres across the UK. This fantastic recruitment has allowed the analysis of two additional lateral flow tests with the priority now on confirming, as quickly as possible, if each of the tests is acceptable or not for further use in community, hospital or other settings.
Dr Ashley Price, Consultant in Infectious Diseases and Falcon-MoonShot Principal Investigator, Newcastle Hospitals, said: "I was particularly impressed with the speed and efficiency with which the study was set up. The flexibility of the team and ability to tackle problems and work out safe pathways was excellent.
"The teamwork was incredible to see, with a very rapid set up and interaction with student and St John Ambulance volunteers amongst others. Results were produced immediately and will be hugely important to enable in-context validation of point of care tests.
"The team pulled together at all levels to deliver this study."
Susan Ridge, Research Delivery Manager, NIHR Clinical Research Network North East & North Cumbria, explained: "The Team working on this UPH study have been amazing. The team, led by Barbara Wilson and Beverly Buck, was very quickly put together and worked tirelessly at the testing centre come rain, wind and sun. They were supported by Cara Tomas Smith and Vicki Wilson who did a fantastic job on the consenting.
"Bertie Rowell and David Green then supported delivery, with further help from students and a St Johns Ambulance Staff.
"We take great pride in the impact of our collaborative and determined research workforce to contribute to the success of the MoonShot project."
Professor Richard Body, Falcon-MoonShot Chief Investigator, added: "Our MoonShot launch site teams have been pivotal and have all been quite simply amazing. They have all stood up very quickly and delivered on this research program analysing COVID-19 testing.
"From the Project Management Group (PMG), we are very clear, the legacy that they have left behind will be used positively in the UK to bring more COVID-19 tests to the UK."
Laboratory scientists and a data analytical team working as part of the Falcon-MoonShot study will now begin the next stage of the study, further investigating into the effectiveness of the new 30-minute MoonShot devices. | {

BAD GIRLS: THE MUSICAL
DRAMANATRIX PRODUCTIONS, October 1st-15th, Renegade Studios
My Two Pence
By Robert Blackburn
DramaNatrix Productions presents 'Bad Girls: The Musical'; a raunchy, debaucherous romp through Larkhall Women's prison. Based on the British TV series of the same name (sans musical) from the late 90s, the play aims to replicate and illuminate the harrowing lives of female inmates, which it does with varying degrees of success. Where it definitely succeeds is presenting the women's lives on a tinderbox where any hint of a spark can suddenly erupt the prison into fists, scraps and hurled abuse.
Less successful is the dramatic through-line of the many characters- which is part of the problem. There are too many main characters to include a satisfying arc for all of them into a two and a half hour show. The Musical covers two seasons of the original series, so whereas they had multiple episodes to flesh out arcs and follow the women to dramatic conclusions that aspect gets pushed to the back to make place for the (albeit entertaining) music and dance routines. This is no more evident than in the 'love' story between Nikki Wade (Florence Reiher) and Wing Governor Helen Stewart (Jill Raymond portraying a moral Scot). Essentially the romance comes from nowhere with a couple of micro scenes placed before it to try and allow the reality of it for the audience. It doesn't work, the audience are required to invent their own backstory to fill in the gaps. This is not to say the actresses didn't give it a fair crack but were ultimately let down by the structure and depth of their scenes.
Prisons are clearly a dangerous place and the ensemble constantly aims to remind us of that fact. It's a shitty, horrible experience- so placing a musical in that environment is definitely an interesting choice. If the aim was to alleviate our worries and social guilt about such places then job done. The laughs were plenty with the banter between the girls rife, especially between The Two Julies (Charlotte Wright and Natalie Schreiber) and the dancing provocative and well choreographed. So you can enjoy the spectacle for what it is or worry about the incongruous nature of it all. In spite of this I think they did push it too far with the ending- the women suddenly seemed to be all smiles and pally with each other in their underwhelming closer "This is my life"
The highlight of the night was "Freedom Road" sung by Sarah Smith front and centre and the opening of Act 2. The acting throughout the song was a sight to behold; something often all too forgotten in other musicals when the actors think they can sail through on their singing skills alone. This was not the case for any of the cast in this production which was a huge plus.
Every member of the cast strutted and swaggered across the stage with gusto, energy and gravitas. The singing and dance routines were entertaining and well orchestrated. The lighting, however, never conceived to lend a helping hand to the actresses and was more often than not a hindrance as they fought to find the light and follow the various spots around stage. A more 'lights up' approach may have been needed for simplicity. The writer's (Maureen Chadwick & Ann McManus) choice of scenes and blanket use of characters lets a lot of the journeys down. But all-in-all a thoroughly entertaining night out.
By Josh Dafoe
First of all, I am not much of a writer and I would say I'm not a critic, but I
guess all it takes is giving your opinion once and there you go being a big jerk like everyone else. That said, I find myself writing my first review for DramaNatrix's production of "Bad Girls" which it turns out is a musical. Now, I'll admit I'm not much of a musical fan so we're off to a bad start already, and you're probably wondering why someone like me would be doing a review like this. Well, I am trying to better myself and this other Brit needed a Canadian's opinion, so stop judging me and listen to me judge this show, okay?
"Bad Girls" or, as I like to think of it, Orange-Is-The-New-Black-meets-the-Spice-Girls-leftovers is surprisingly entertaining for a guy that would normally be watching the Jays over a beer. The show is about women in a British prison trying to deal with a corrupt system that includes a very rapey guard, whilst also having to deal with their own problems like being the target of said guard. Sounds simple enough but it actually had a few turns I didn't see coming which is a plus when you're trying to figure out why there were so many Americans (or Canadians) in this prison. If one was to guess nationality based on accents for the most part they were actually quite good and some even excellent so credit to the time spent on working on those, but there were a few obvious foreign exchange prisoners and staff.
It is a real ensemble piece as there is no true star of the show per se with a lot of stage time shared between many characters. And you know what? For a show called "Bad Girls" the performances were not bad at all. The two Julies aka Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum spice played by Charlotte Wright and Natalie Schreiber brought the laughs when they were needed as the show tries to deal with some heavy subject matter. Even though it doesn't quite give the push to bring a tear to the eye due to the gravitas of the situation being rushed as musicals seem to do; and a seemingly random love story thrown in... oh yeah, it's a musical. The choreography was tight with the union jack making its way into a very catchy and sexy number (of which there were plenty) and vocally there were some powerful moments including an emotionally charged Crystal Gordon played by Sarah Smith that impressed me.
Technically the show was in need of some help. The lighting was problematic with characters constantly unlit or stepping out of visible areas while delivering lines to the point of being quite immersion breaking and with so many props being passed around in the dark some were bound to fall and they did. A ring of keys sat in the middle of the prison for a bit and my eyes were locked on to them till a helpful prison janitor swept them up and I assume made a break for freedom.
Most of the credit for my rating is going to the cast for pouring a lot of passion into this, rocking out the musical numbers of which I actually mostly enjoyed and the creative use of the space even with tech challenges. | {

My Book is Obvious AND Wrong
I haven't gotten a lot of public feedback on my book, but the private feedback is rather circular. On one hand, there are those saying my findings are wrong. I'm 'saying the earth is flat', in one irate economist's view. My empirical findings are not rigorous, in that I'm using incorrect statistical tests and if I used a more powerful test I would not reject the hypothesis that risk explains returns as standard theory dictates. Indeed, many of the articles I reference in my support leave open this possibility. I admit it's possible. Anything's possible. It's just improbable. The current paradigm finds parochial risk factors for each asset class (a different one for currencies, cross sectional equities, bonds), without any intuition. Further, adding more complexity to any test lessens its statistical power, and so the 'failure to reject' would give one solace if the theory kinda worked. The theory sucks, it mainly has the wrong sign (higher risk assets in any asset class, in general, have lower than average returns!)
On the other side, I get comments like 'this is obvious', it's 'too simple', or 'everyone knows that'. I too think it is obvious and simple, but not everyone in finance knows that 1) risk and return, in general, are uncorrelated in any obvious way and 2) this is an equilibrium result if people have relative status orientation. Saying something new, true, important AND obvious&simple, is better than just being new, true, and important. But the people who recognize it is obvious and true tend to be new to the literature, and so aren't trained to not see what is directly before their eyes. Experts develop special lenses to observe reality, called a 'theory', and after a while can't see without it. They are like American Natives who supposedly could not see Columbus's ships as they appeared on the horizon because their brains were hardwired to not see what is impossible.
But, the newbies look at the data I present, which is mainly a survey of the literature and sample averages, and see it as obvious (see SSRN summary of evidence here). Those who have been in the field for years see it as untrue, those who don't have it as a primary concern, think it is obvious and rather trivial. I like the future of my idea on that score, because as they say, science advances one funeral after another.
But then I noted two Amazon reviewers found it did not have any implications for your average investor. Let me try again, because obviously anyone smart enough to buy and read my book is no fool, as this is all my fault.
In the book I go into 'finding alpha' strategies, based on the fact good strategies are highly parochial, most people fail at such endeavors, and people lie about what they are doing. But the 30,000 foot practical investing implication is rather obvious: buy 'low risk' stocks, relatively. This can be done many ways: while keeping total beta at 1.0, maximizing the Sharpe ratio, or maximizing the Information Ratio. All of these are improvements relative to the S&P500 passive benchmark at orders of magnitude greater than the lift of going from active to passive equity investing. As long as the CAPM does not work, and I argue it does not because most investors are benchmarking, this implies such obvious investing tactics that basically focus on the low volatility, and avoid the high volatility. See discussion below from my videos.

Computer Trading is Good Competition
Paul Wilmott today warns us against the scourge of computer trading, and it seems everyone has an opinion on it (see NYTimes , Trader Magazine, Chuck Schumer, Tyler Cowen). Alas, this covers such a broad umbrella of strategies, one can be against this only like one may dislike unpopular books. The panic piece begins as follows:
The idea is straightforward: Computers take information — primarily "real-time" share prices — and try to predict the next twitch in the stock market. Using an algorithmic formula, the computers can buy and sell stocks within fractions of seconds, with the bank or fund making a tiny profit on the blip of price change of each share.
This has been ongoing with Moore's law. In the bad old days orders were given to a human (called a 'specialist') who then had the ability to accept, or back away, from orders as they came in. With electronic exchanges, much of this is being done not by a priviledged specialist, but rather computers. They basically do the same thing, only now their is much more competition. Remember back in the 1990s when Harris, Christie and Schultz and reported tha Nasdaq quotes bizarrely omitted 'odd eigths'. That is, the could post a bid-ask as 3/8-1/2, but instead regularly posted 1/4-1/2. This was for many very large companies such as Microsoft and Apple, that even then traded millions of shares a day. This was collusion, and shortly after the publication of this piece these stocks magically began trading at odd eigths, though no one was ever convicted of any collusion.
Stock specialists who consolidate retail orders to buy and sell have been ripping off customers since trading began. The first head of the SEC was Joe Kennedy, who was a master stock manipulator in the 1920's. He was a master of the stock pool (bucket shop), a then-legal stunt in which a few traders conspired to inflate a stock's price, selling out just before the bubble burst. Regulation to protect the integrity of the investor invariably meant stiflying competition, allowing the big exchanges (NYSE and AMEX) to make easy money by being 'in the club'. For generations, specialists would sit on trades for minutes, not milliseconds, while they decided how to maximize their profits. I know one guy who worked for a specialist around 2000, and he noted his boss lost money only a handful of days every year. Specialists would emphasize the risk they took in providing liquidity, yet on big gap days like October 19 1987 they did not step in and exacerbated the situation. The risk they took on providing orderly markets was a license to steal for decades, and they now scream 'unfair!' as their order flow evaporates.
With electronic exchanges, the competition is much greater. Bid-ask spreads are only a penny for most S&P500 companies (as opposed to 25 cents 20 years ago), and they are generally very deep. It is rumored that Renaissance's flagship hedge fund (not the long only fund) makes most of its money as an off-the-exchange market maker. They invested a lot of money in computers, and algorithms that efficiently set bids and offers given recent order flow, the depth of the market (level 2 quotes), and their own inventory. Good for them.
There are basically three types of algorithmic trading strategies. In one, you are basically slicing a big order into littler bits to minimize trade impact. No longer do you need a human to work a 5000 share order, rather, a machine spits it into digestable chunks and by the day you are done, and don't owe anyone a big holiday basket for their hard work. In another, you basically have a machine implement relative value trades. The famous pairs trading, where if Pepsi rises, but Coke stays flat, you sell Pepsi and buy coke, is based on this idea. But it can be generalized to indices versus sectors, or baskets against each other based on statistical properties, or even oil futures vs. Exxon. Lastly, there are the market making algorithms that try to capture the spread in the market by correctly anticipating the future distribution of retail order flow based on the current book, and this strategy can complement a relative value trading algorithm. Many times these algorithms try to reverse engineer future trades via the way current trades are coming in. As many trades come in each second, for many stocks the best bids and offers are adjusted several times a second.
One article noted that some algorithms basically infer the price increase from trades, getting rid of the profits otherwise available. But these are all short term scenarios, and basically make a market efficient. That is, say Apple announces good news, suggesting a sharpe bounce in the stock. An investor tries to buy, and would like to trade 1MM shares, but clearly that's too much, so he puts in an order for 1000, then next minute, another 1000, and another. A machine might sense the pattern and basically jump on for the ride with him, diluting his profits. Is that bad news? Only for the short-term trader. For the longer run investor oblivious to this, who was on the other side, they got to sell at a higher price (the price rose faster than otherwise). The short-term speculator basically makes less because the algorithm reverse engineers his insight. This is the essence of an informationally efficient market, where news gets into the price asap. That those at the bleeding edge are making a profit is not a bug, it's a feature.
Several bloggers have made a big deal out of 'flash trading' article in Traders Magazine, where exchanges give priviledged access to order flow, letting them accept or reject these trades prior to hitting the general market. Normally this would upset me, but they have an option lasting only 30 milliseconds (30 thousandths of a second). For a computer, this is enough time to make a decision. This is certainly enough time to make a tenth of a cent or so on market orders by leaning on the existing book. That is, if the market is bid-ask at 10.03-05, with 100 shares on each, a market order to buy 100 shares might make you hit the offer at 10.05 because you know there is 100 shares following you, and you hope the price increases based on this flow. This is known as 'front running'. Or you might see more buying coming in at a limit price of 10.02, and decide to increase your bid at 10.03 because you know your downside is now limited to a penny, as you can sell at 10.02 in size. This is known as pennying a bid, because you basically use the other person's limit orders as a backstop, giving you a penny downside risk. As tendencies move probabilistically, on any one trade such shenanigans are worth much less than a penny, but it can add up for the one doing it. For your average investor, in contrast, it is totally irrelevant. In the context of buying a $20 stock, does the fact that a highly competitive group can make tenths of a cent on market transactions bother me? No. It is orders of magnitude lower than 10 years ago, which is orders of magnitude lower than 30 years ago. Commissions for most investors are at least a penny. Of all the financial skullduggery in the world today, Flash Trade front running worth a fraction of a penny is small beer.
But Wilmott paints a scary picture:
the problem with the sudden popularity of high-frequency trading is that it may increasingly destabilize the market. Hedge funds won't necessarily care whether the increased volatility causes stocks to rise or fall, as long as they can get in and out quickly with a profit. But the rest of the economy will care.
I surmise that poor Paul has not been invited to consult on these algorithms, and like many experts, finds those excelling at something in his field of expertise is useless at best, but probably damaging. After all, if it was important and useful, he should be a player, because that's his wheelhouse, right? Of course, given the many different types of algorithms extant, it could be they glom on to some vicious positive-feedback loop, but given the profits they are chasing, these are micro-bubbles, a couple pennies. An algorithm chasing micropennies does not instigate trends the way portfolio insurance did in the 1987 crash, because in that case long-only funds were looking at their total long position, selling into declines (emulating a put option). The current algorithms generally look at relative value trades between sectors or issues, momentary order imbalances, a very different beast. Trade imbalances have always and will continue to move prices, but that isn't the computers fault. If there's continually 10x as many sell orders as buy orders, the result is going to be lower prices no matter what market is created. When buys and sells are coming in with equal size, price stability will be restored. To suggest the computers could exaggerate a movement is hysterical fear mongering in this context, because while anything is possible, it's a baseless hypothetical. Maybe we should regulate financial textbook writers as they popularize models that create things like CDO's that were so prominent in our latest financial crisis? Perhaps he is diverting our attention from his crime of the century?
Paul then concludes:
Buying stocks used to be about long-term value, doing your research and finding the company that you thought had good prospects. Maybe it had a product that you liked the look of, or perhaps a solid management team. Increasingly such real value is becoming irrelevant. The contest is now between the machines — and they're playing games with real businesses and real people.
He is bringing up the perenial idea that investors should trade less, which I think is good practice. But earlier he suggested insiders make too much money off short term trades, implying higher trading costs. Isn't this then a disincentive to trade? So what should it be? When you propose two conflicting ideas why you are against something this reveals you aren't arguing on principle. And aren't houses the prototypical asset with high transaction costs and long investment horizons that should make them immune to bubbles? Remember, before there were maniacal machines making money in a competitive market, there was a a government-backed oligopoly or monopoly of trade execution.
Basically, people who do not understand a market where some participants are making a lot of money are often eager to call for regulation of that market because it seems obviously unfair. The solution, however, is invariably to merely entrench a status quo with a bigger shield against competition, but one where the profits can be shared equally by the exchanges, their member firms, and their regulators (through revolving door employment at the top ranks between exchanges, firms, and government). There was little 'change' on the exchanges prior to the 1990 computer revolution, and they robbed the public blind the whole time because they had a monopoly on order flow, all the while regaling their friends at the country club about their deft risk management skills and financial acumen ('the market was down and I still made money!').
Leave the market alone. It is very competitive, and if some electronic exchanges have different rules where people feel their orders are treated more fairly, volume will flock there (there are about 5 electronic exchanges). Competition is the best regulator ever invented. If you think someone making a tenth of a cent on your order is a big problem, you trade too much.

Perfection vs. Robustness
I'm affiliated with a company whereby I have to provide all my brokerage statement per SEC rules. This is designed so that those with inside information do not 'front run' orders in other accounts. Say I work for Fidelity (buy side), or Goldman (sell side). I have access to information that can be very profitable. This is not so much knowing the Fidelity thinks IBM is a good buy, but rather transacting a few moments prior to the much larger institutional order, or corporate action like an analyst upgrade or stock repurchase plan announcement.
My friends told me that in the 1990's, many people who worked at brokerages would routinely get in front of recommendations ('strong buy'), and this made them as much as they made from their 'day job'. Clearly, there is a strong conflict of interest, this basically robs their customers, who merely end up paying more. So, this appears a good regulation.
But consider how this is being enforced. You have regulators who get stacks of hard copy reports from various brokerage accounts for many employees. As these reports are in all different formats, there's no way to do this but to 'eyeball' thousands of pages of documents, and compare this to electronic trading records which include hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of transactions. It's like looking for a needle in a haystack. As regulators have finite resources, this prevents them for looking at other transgressions.
Now consider I wished to front run, knowingly break this law. My first obvious thing to do would be to set up an account and not tell anyone. I have several accounts. There's no national account registry to make sure I gave all of them to the SEC. How would they catch that? I don't know, but I imagine any such fraud occurs not by hoping the SEC won't match up my trades with actual orders, but rather they won't know I had another account I did not mention.
I think a better regulatory mechanism would merely be to get everyone's 1099 form that lists dividends, interest, and capital gains from each of their brokerage accounts. As the brokerages all supply them to the IRS, I can't unilaterally withhold such information without getting caught there. Only in cases where profits are large, say capital gains greater than 10% of my salary and I traded more than 10 times, should this then flag that regulators receive my transaction report from which to check against company trade records. After all, if I don't trade much, or don't make sufficient money trading, I probably was not cheating (or if I was, not enough to matter).
But think outside the box. If this is the system, one could easily outfox it: bring in a father-in-law, or a friend. The bottom line is that any system put into stone can be easily gamed if one tries hard enough. The easy fraud should be checked and made illegal. A system should be set up recognizing that resources are finite, and should not assume that a system will catch everything. The current approach relies on rule-breakers telling the truth, and that their regulators have the attention span of a an autistic looking at design specs. It is useful to check brokers personal brokerage accounts, but a simple system that can be automated would allow humans to do what they are best at, looking at funds like Madoff's with suspicious returns, and have discrete authority to audit their financials.
If you just set up rules, and then hire bureaucrats to implement mind-numbingly boring rules, that is pretty lame. But that's all we can expect out of Washington, which is why the best regulator is competition.
Behavioralism Circa 1988
Josef Lakonishok and Robert Haugen wrote a book, The Incredible January Effect, in 1988. At about 110 pages, it's a quick read, and you can get a used copy on Amazon for under $10 delivered to your door (I love used books). They presented the then most prominent behavioral anomalies at that time. This highlights the problem of the behavioralists.
The book starts with an anecdote about how some bankers noticed a pattern in interest rates, and the Efficient Markets/Random Walk blinders made this impossible for these professors to see. Interest rates are low in March, high in October, a difference of about 50 basis points! Alas, this effect, I must say, I was unaware of. It certainly does not show up in the Fed's H15 data. As neither author talks about this anymore, I think this is just one of those little mistakes everyone hopes people will ignore. So I will.
Their big idea is that basically all of the 'risk premium' in stocks and bonds occurs in January. This is because institutions pick stocks then, pushing up prices of risky, and small stocks (which are risky). Over the year stock pickers stop 'buying', so stocks just meander the other 11 months of the year. Alas, most of this effect turned out to be driven by low-priced, illiquid stocks. These small stocks would move from 3/8 to 1/2, back to 3/8, and the daily cumulative return was huge, because the tapes showed +33%, -25%, +33, -25%, etc. Add to this that your retail prole got a horrible fill back in those days (this is when they invented the term 'rip your face off'), so you would actually be adversely filled, so the only one receiving the January effect where the floor traders. playing this game just generated excess trades. No one thinks the January Effect is real anymore, it was an artifact of crappy, high frequency data on a biased sample (illiquid stocks).
This same bias drove the famed Thaler and DeBondt mean-reversion trade, which conspicuously has no children in the literature (see Conrad and Kaul, 1993). To the extent their is negative autocorrelation at 36 months, it is imperceptible. In contrast, the momentum effect of Jegadeesh and Titman, which finds positive autocorrelation at 12 month horizons, is robust to excluding low-priced stocks, and has remained in the literature.
Currently people are focused on biases from excessive complexity of asset backed securities, and the spreads for all such assets has risen as they have all been tarnished by the poor performance of AAA rated mortgage-backed securities. Yet this 'bias', seems rather focused on one bad assumption, that housing prices would not fall. It really was not much more complicated than that. Regulators and the market are punishing these products. I don't see this as a big improvement, in that excessive pessimism, like excessive optimism, is wrong, and the similarity is merely the structure. This is a flawed diagnosis.
In general, behavioral explanations cover so many scenarios—optimism, pessimism—one has to have a specific behavioral insight to make an reasonable argument. Otherwise, you are like someone in favor of a 'third party' as an alternative to our two-party system, a group with less in common among itself than with the parties it is an alternative to.
Aaron Brown Reviews Finding Alpha
Not quite Michiko Kakutani, but someone finally thoughtfully reviewed my book. Aaron Brown blogs a lot over at the Wilmott general forum, and he's the kind of practitioner I was hoping to reach: a practitioner who understands financial mathematics. Given his other reviews on Amazon, we don't have a lot in common: he likes poker (which I find boring), and he likes a lot of books I don't. He wrote a neat book, the Poker Face of Wall Street, about how our innate desire to gamble leads to all sorts of markets, even financing. He has a rather long review over at Amazon. While he gave it a mixed review (3 out of 5 stars), I take pride in that all his other reviews are "5" or "1", which means I made him think. I think the positives he mentions are objectively more positive than the negatives--I'd rather be sloppy but make an important novel point, than not have such a point but write with precision and verve. As my book doesn't get a thoughtful review very often, I want to address his criticisms:
First, he notes the following typo:
An example of the sloppiness (and there are many) is on page 21, "The key to the portfolio approach is the variance of two random variables is less than the sum of their variance." This makes no sense. He might mean "The variance of THE SUM of two random variables is less than the sum of their variances,"
Alas, he is exactly right. I meant 'variance of the sum' but wrote 'sum of the variances'. A classic brain fart, like writing 'the wet was water', a phrase one's brain turns into 'the water was wet' when you read it 50 times because that's what brains do, and reading it over and over makes it even harder to see.
Fundamentally, there was only light editing of my work. I recognize that meticulousness is not one of my strong points, and should have paid for extra editing, but I was grateful to Wiley for publishing my book, and so took what I got. As the list of acknowledgements will attests (ie, none), this book did not benefit from extensive vetting. There are about 5 such mistakes, and as to whether this is 'many' is a matter of perspective. Yet in context generally it was obvious as to what is meant. For example, in this case it was right above a graph that shows that portfolio variance declines as a function of portfolio size, and talk about how diversification lowers risk. But I can sympathize that such mistakes are distracting.
Brown also bemoans the $95 price. Gee, I didn't know anyone would pay that much. Amazon sells it for about $60, and the 'used' copies are basically new copies released to small stores that are selling it, and these go down to $52. Nevertheless, it is above the usual $20 to $30 one is used to paying for books, but it's a niche, and books with math usually have sufficiently small audiences that such is the price. I would have liked to sell a $30 book so it could be at Barnes and Noble, but it's a rather specific, technical arguement with a limited audience.
A final criticism was that I "Lack of appreciation for other people's thought", and he specifically mentions Taleb. Alas, I have Taleb fatigue and consider him a lightweight blowhard, not The Establishment I am criticizing (represented by, say, Fama, French, Cochrane, Campbell, Harvey, Schwert, etc.). In a sense, like Taleb, I am criticizing the Establishment, but we have as much in common as typical third party candidates. Considering that Taleb's main empirical points are about fat tails and peso problems, these are standard problems and are addressed through the extant, large literature, that exists independent of Taleb.
But in general, I think I amply provide references to earlier research, and for almost every empirical point provide specific papers. My novelty, empirically, is highlighting that the scope of data suggest a flat risk-return relation in general; each individual finding, such as within equities, or currencies, points to literature in that domain, literature that is often quite deep.
Brown states:
The book's summary of quantitative finance is backed up by lots of references, but I would bet that the author has not read all the references. He doesn't even seem to be familiar with Hyman Minksky's work, and he was a graduate assistant for Minsky.
Actually, I have thoroughly read all my references, and I do appreciate Minsky's work (I was his TA as an undergrad, not grad), and noted the Minskian notion of Keynesian uncertainty was not fruitful because metrics of uncertainty, emprically, are not positively related to returns (eg, IPOs, or firms with relatively high amounts of analyst forecast dispersion, have lower returns than average).
Brown then states
And "expected return" only makes sense in a rigorous context (who does the "expecting," and when?). The author scorns rigor, but then uses the concept of expected return in a model with divergent expectations among investors, without discussion of whose beliefs define the expected return, and fails to distinguish that concept clearly from ex post average return and market-clearing return.
I don't make a distinction between long and short term expectations, and most asset pricing models are simple one-period models. In many cases, one can find short and long term expectations have different properties unless returns have certain distributions, or utility functions have specific functional forms, and generally these discussions lead to hair splitting, and generally add little insight. Thus, like almost everyone in this space I found this distinction an uninteresting complication. More fundamentally, expected returns should equal average returns over large enough sample, just as a sample mean converges to the population mean over time. That so many assets show sample means in direct contrast to theory implies to many of Finance's founding fathers that 'expected returns' are hard to measure, but after 50 years I find this rather uncompelling.
But let's get on to the good things he had to say, after all, it was 3 stars, not 1!
What I like about this book:
* It contains important new ideas that can help any risk-taker with quantitative skills succeed
* It challenges conventional wisdom
* The meat of the book is based on practical experience, not just things that seem right to the author, but things he has tried, and generally with success
Those are good things, I think, and highlight in make a new point about something important, with a practical slant. I think for $52, even with typos, that makes it a good buy.
Brown ends with
This idea is integrated into a reasonably complete financial theory. The foundation seems solid but, as described above, its superstructure is jumbled and ugly.
The ugliness? I too dislike ugliness. I did not want the book to be too technical, however, so my fundamental model is a bit incomplete in the book, but the gist is rather simple:
Payoffs to Assets X and Y in States 1 and 2
Relative Return
state 1
As shown in the table above, Y is usually considered riskier, with a 60 point range in payoffs versus a 20 point range for X. Yet on a relative basis, each asset generates identical risk. Everything follows from that. The proof of this is rather straightforward, and I outline several models of varying degrees of elegance in this SSRN paper here. But that's the big idea in a simple nutshell, and I don't find such a simple model ugly.
Betting on Black Swans
Nassim Taleb has become popular, though I don't think he has anything really profound to say (see my book review here). Indeed, a reviewer of my book Finding Alpha lamented I did not mention Taleb, but I did not see the point because I was making a serious point about asset pricing theory and Taleb is a pedestrian populizer, who like all popular populizers, is successful at convincing a lot of people he is saying something new and true. This is not the same as actually saying something new and true. His book does not add any new data, or theoretical insight, to this corpus of knowledge (e.g., the Rietz-Barro Peso problem). But as funds affiliated with Taleb are becoming popular I think it would be helpful to address those specific strategies. The basic premise is that financial economists, and investors, systematically neglect improbable events. The result is that out-of-the-money options, especially qualitative analogues like unconventional investment ideas picked up at cocktail parties, offer the best reward-to-risk ratio. Let's consider these.
You can invest in a Black Swan fund that buys out-of-the-money options such as Universa Investments run by his former partner Mark Spitznagel. Taleb, and Spitznagel, would argue their implementation is much more sophisticated than merely buying out-of-the-money options in that it also takes advantage of 'behavioral biases'. Now, as 'prospect theory' implies people ignore, or overweight, improbable events, such 'behavioral biases' allow a strategy a great deal of latitude. In practice simple ideas, such as the underpricing of out-of-the-money options is too simple to sell, so the vendor feels compelled to confabulate a pretentious but useless tweak. In this case, that just means one sells in-the-money options to lighten the expense (more gamma, less vega). Do the math, and this strategy simply shifts your payoff distribution so it has a funky nonlinearity, shifting returns from the [-10%,0] space to the [-∞,-10%] and [0,∞] space, but the same expected return. That is, say you buy $2 worth of out of the money put options, and offset this a little by selling $1 worth of in-the-money put options. This means you still hit a home run in the extreme event like 2008 (which was, statistically, improbable); you make less in the more probable adverse event; you lose less if the market rises. As empirical studies have found option returns to decrease as one goes out of the money (see Ni, or Bondarenko, or Coval and Shumway), the in-the-money vol sold is relatively underpriced, so the only behavioral bias this is leveraging is a marketing one. Considering that out-of-the-money options are most overpriced, this is a bad strategy.
Clearly in big moves such as 2008 this strategy outperforms. Yet on average, I doubt it. That is, much was made of the "65% to 115%" return reported in October of some Black Swan Funds (see WSJ here), but the VIX peaked then at 80, and is now at 23, while the market has rebounded. It would be interesting to know the subsequent returns, but everyone merely quotes the hearsay (always, 'a person close to the fund reported...') reported on their top tic. As Taleb is insistent that too many investors naively chase last year's winners, it would only be consistent to not make too much of one year's returns. Indeed, Empirica Kurtosis, his earlier hedge fund, also started out with a widely reported 60% return in 2000, but then folded quietly in 2004. I earlier said I would donate $10k USD to his favorite charity if he sends me audited financials showing the cumulative Sharpe ratio of Empirica Kurtosis LLP over its lifetime was greater than 0.5 (which is a poor hedge fund return, consistent with exit), and the offer still stands. Thus, over the long run, not a sequence of 2008s, this is a crappy strategy.
The other problem with out-of-the-money strategies is that option market makers hate being naked low-delta options. You don't have to buy too many to move the price, implying market impact is high. This makes these strategies even more expensive than any simulation when done in size. That doesn't bode well for these now-popular strategies.
Another claim by Taleb is that 'wild' risks from cocktail party chatter is especially useful. At some level this is like saying things that can't be quantified are really important, which has the nice property of being tautologically untestable, but in practice we understand what this means: funky investments outside of stocks, bonds, bank deposits, etc. Llama farms, gold medallions, and no-money-down real estate, are all unconventional, and all scams. Sure, the people pitching them show someone who got rich doing this, the same way Amway lines up its multilevel marketing operation, it is an appealing idea—why not me? Airport Holiday Inn conference rooms are always full of conferences on how to become rich following their 3-point plan, which invariably involves trading through them, or buying their $100 instruction manual. They have a horrible average return, because 'fraudulent scam' is not rare in this space, rather de rigueur. Staffcentrix offers advice and due diligence on home-based businesses offered on the internet. A principal there, Christine Durst, states that the ratios of scams to real home-based businesses is 54-1 on the internet, most following the plan of selling a modestly priced but useless information brochure, enough to make money, not enough to elicit a lawsuit. But the bottom line is that virtual out-of-the-money options are, if anything, more expensive than those traded on exchanges.
In my book Finding Alpha, I argue that people tend to pay for hope, and nothing offers hope better than the lottery-like returns available in potential Black Swans. Hope is a good thing, and motivates a lot of hard work and creativity. But it would be foolish to think that the more improbable, the more speculative, the more derided by economists, the better the risk-adjusted return merely because of this. This tendency to buy into lottery ticket leads to all sorts of really bad investments:
Higher volatility stocks have lower return than low volatility stocks
Higher beta stocks have lower returns than low beta stocks
out-of-the-money options have lower returns--and higher betas--than in-the-money-options
higher leveraged firms have lower returns than lower leveraged firms
firms is greater financial distress have lower returns than firms with low financial distress
Junk bond mutual fund returns are lower than investment grade mutual fund return over the past 22 years
sports longshots such as 50-1 odds horses, have lower returns than favorites
lotteries with the highest payouts have the lowest expected returns
IPOs have lower-than-average stock returns
[This is in my book, and also summarized on an SSRN paper I wrote here.] Notice a pattern? The more volatile, more uncertain, the lower the return. People pay a premium (accept a lower return) for 'Black Swans', because in one fell swoop, they can get rich and prove they were RIGHT! Instant satisfaction. Plus, if you really have the touch, why waste time choosing Coke over Pepsi, when you can choose between GM and Citi!
Basically one would be better off not chasing dreams via Black Swans, and stick to boring investments. Finding alpha—a risk-adjusted return premium—is very difficult, and it involves a niche specific to an individual's skills, which almost surely is not in investing anymore than the average person has alpha singing or writing romance novels. Black Swan investing is a sucker's game, endemic in markets, a perennial loser, and highlights asset classes to avoid, not pursue.

NASDAQ Up 10 Days in A Row
Shocking? Not really. If we assume a 50-50 chance of rising, we should expect this to occur once every ten years, and it did not happen in the prior ten. Below is the actual frequency of 'runs' (consecutive trending), compared to the 50-50 theoretical (actual markets go up 52% of days, but that's not material here).

My Police Encounter
James Taranto notes the latest kerfluffle about Henry Louis Gates getting arrested for Breaking and Entering, as a neigbor saw him breaking into his own house (the door was jammed). The Boston Globe notes the following thoughts from Gates's Harvard colleague:
"He and I both raised the question of if he had been a white professor, whether this kind of thing would have happened to him, that they arrested him without any corroborating evidence," said S. Allen Counter, a Harvard Medical School professor who spoke with Gates about the incident Friday. "I am deeply concerned about the way he was treated, and called him to express my deepest sadness and sympathy."
Counter, who had called Gates from the Nobel Institute in Sweden, where Counter is on sabbatical, said that Gates was "shaken" and "horrified" by his arrest.
Deeply concerned? Shaken? Horrified? Look at the picture above (taken from the Wash Post), and you can imagine the scene (love the look on the black cop's face, the hand raised, the open mouth on Gates saying you have "no idea who [you're] was messing with!"). He has an interview on The Root talking about his 'terrible and humiliating' experience.
I remember having blown a bike tire in grad school I walked my bike tire to the bike shop across campus. I was an instructor at Northwestern at the time, and there were many bikes around campus and nearby, along with many bicycle thiefs (alas, my best bike ever was stolen there). Now, holding merely a bike tire looks suspicious because many bikes are locked up in a way that you can easily remove the tire. Anyway, cops saw me, and gave me the run-down: where was I going? where did I get the bike tire? where did I live? Where did I work? They called in all this information, and it took about 15 minutes to verify I was an instructor at the University. Finally I was allow on my merry way. There was no apology received, or asked. They weren't mean, but they weren't very nice either.
I've had several such run ins. I figure many cops are jerks because it appeals to people who like to boss others around. But it's an essential job, and if we had a bunch of sociologists or peace activists on the police force there would be anarchy, which only helps non-uniformed oppressors.
As someone who had liberal parents growing up in Southern California, I have never been racist, so I have no racial guilt. I think everyone should be treated the same, which is why I find these cases so repellent. Obama is not making these incidents go away, just as electing black mayors did not reduce the claims of racism in the cities where this occurred. I suspect many whites thought that by electing a black president, perhaps black/white relations in America will turn the corner, as the black community would see this as evidence that the white majority is not racist and assimilate like the Germans, Irish and Italians. I was born around a year after the Civil Rights Act was signed and my parents remember driving through the 1965 Watts riots to the hospital. As a child my parents were rather optimistic as if black/white would be like Lutheran/Methodist, a distinction without any resonance today. But things aren't getting better in general, and I'm not optimistic.
Faith in Committees
Ezra Klein criticized Gregg Mankiw for doubting the new health care program will cut costs. Ezra's objections are based on his faith in the following:
A "comparative effectiveness review", which will look at differences in costs between regions, and supposedly rationally reduce wasteful expenditures
An "Independent Medicare Advisory Council", which will identify "best practices"
Monopsony power, where a large single buyer (the government) will force suppliers to cut costs
As risk' becomes infeasible to ddiscriminate, health care providers will focus on costs of suppling services instead
This is classic difference between a conservative and a liberal on questions of commerce. A liberal thinks that governments can be more efficient if we set up top-down councils that issue wise edicts; a conservative thinks such committees will not issue any wise edicts [note, on social policies this is reversed, and here I side with the liberals]. I would admit most such councils are filled with people of good faith, but their task is futile, because they don't have the information to make such decisions, nor the incentives to make trade-offs implicit in any wise decisions.
This all reminds me of when I worked in large corporations, and we would form big committees on the 54th floor to get rid of waste. Unless there's a specific plan, which inevitably has winners and losers, such a committee is merely a refuge for grandstanding and a waste of bagels. All large government agencies (the Post Office, the Department of Defense, Education Boards) have 'best practices' committees, 'effectiveness councils', with various other names. They all come to naught because the bottom line incentives are not conducive to cost cutting. They are fundamentally spending other people's money on other people, without any direct, strong incentive to do so efficiently. The incentive to cut costs gets lost in the context of fairness, justice, and coalition building.
Is there an example of a government committee, like the 'comparative effictiveness review', that has ever cut costs? A wise government council that has identified best practices more efficiently than a market? Government purchasers actually finding lower cost providers? Is there insufficient incentive to 'cut costs' currently, compared to the new system?
The only way to cut costs is to force those demanding services to economize by decentralize decision making, in the process exposing health care demand to the costs of more of their decisions. Currently, about 10% of health care expenditures are out-of-pocket, and when someone else pays, people ask for too much, suppliers inflate costs, and here we are. But current legislation is all about benefits and almost painless cost cuts that involve no inconvenience to the rabble. This is why free marketers like myself and Mankiw are pessimistic.
You might as well put your faith in input-output matrices, dynamic programming, or mandatory readings from "Who Moved My Cheese?" There are two ways to cut health care costs. Have government decide to spend at most $X on health care, and have their wise committees figure out how to deal with this lower budget, or increase the out-of-pocket expenditures of people so they internalize their costs and economize on health care purchases.
Double Counting Risk
Cuomo is suing brokers for selling AAA paper
Attorney General Andrew Cuomo warned that his office plans to sue the largest online brokerage firm for civil fraud over its marketing and sales of auction-rate securities to clients.
Cuomo is also going after the ratings agencies, along with many others, for basically rating securities as AAA when they subsequently many such securities, primarily MBS related to housing, defaulted. A AAA rating has a 0.03% ish annualized probability of default. My problem is that this is a mistake, not criminal. While Moody's may have been overly incented to rate these securities highly, such an incentive has existed since the beginnings of the industry, and many other failed rating agencies neglected this at their peril (remember Duff & Phelps?). So, it's a standard incentive problem that I don't think is helped by piling on after the fact.
By itself it would not be so bad, it's just that going after brokers for selling AAA securities because they turned out riskier than expected means that now the rating agencies, and brokers, have to 'underwrite' (ie, evaluate and due thorough analysis) the same securities. It is a fact that the senior piece of some capital investment will have a low probability of default, due to the value of the underlying business. For example, if you lend someone $100k to buy a house, and the house has an independent appraisal of $300k, the probability you will lose any money on that $100k is very small; for a large portfolio, basically absent. To now say that everything must be evaluated by everyone just creates waste, because the costs are too great, the benefits too small. Remember, a growing economy comes from doing more with less, and a large part of this is in information processing. We take for granted real GDP growth, but improved financial efficiency—innovation!—is part of that. The only way to guarantee no more blow ups is to guarantee no more growth, a poor bargain (Gillian Tett's book Fool's Gold seems to think innovation is something to be discouraged).
There should be a vibrant sector of 'informationally insensitive' assets that have minuscule default rates. Such assets will be hypothecated by banks when deposited as collateral, making them effectively part of the monetary base. It's unavoidable, in the same way factional reserve banking is unavoidable.
I hope they remember that the Fed and all the regulators considered mortgages low risk because of their historical track record, which had minor losses in aggregate. No asset class has back-to-back surprises, so doubling down on mortgages is rather ahistorical from that perspective. Remember Commercial Real Estate? After its vicious 1990 cycle, default were historically low for the next 15 years (lot's of concern now, to be sure, however). Better to focus on other assets that have historically been safest. Why not raise the risk levels for municipal bonds, state bonds, even US government bonds? Clearly these have a potential for massive failure in spite of their golden track record. After all, many banks defaulted after the panic of 1838, surprising the Europeans who thought this unimaginable after they seemed so strong during the earlier panic of 1819. But that would cut into the incentives of the regulators, not rich bankers (all 'bankers' are now caricatured as Goldman Sachs employees making $700k/year).
New Feynman Lectures Online
Office 2007 is an abomination, with defaults in every app seemingly all set to 'Annoy Eric'. But here's Bill Gates doing good work. He put a bunch of Feynman videos online from 1964. Thanks Bill. You need to watch this using IE (of course).
Loved the book, but...
Funny but devastating aside on Bob Wright' new book, The Evolution of God, in that it isn't clear whether or not Bob believes religion is net good, which is a rather important point in summing up religion. That is, if you look at the 10,000 year development of religion, and see both sides of that argument, did you really see anything?:
It reminds me of Brad DeLong's criticim of Skidelisky's 3-part biography of Keynes, which he said was excellent, except for where Skidelsky's writings on post WW2 economics, which basically means it's a fun read about trivialities. Skidelsky took exception, and DeLong was puzzled, because he emphasized he did like the book, but one does not spend a decade writing a 3-volume set that is irrelevant to the main point (here, current economic science).
Every writer likes having their book called a 'good read', and most readers really leave it there, but if it also wrong on its main assertion, or does not really have a point, this is a Pyrrhic victory.

Selective Expert Hindsight
Joe Stiglitz circa 2002
the risk to the government from a potential default on GSE [Fannie Mae] debt is effectively zero...the expected cost to the government of providing an explicit government guarantee on $1 trillion in GSE debt is just $2 million.
Joe Stiglitz in the recent Critical Review:
The main cause of the crisis was the behavior of the banks—largely a result of misguided incentives unrestrained by good regulation. Conservative ideology, along with unrealistic economic models of perfect information, perfect competition, and perfect markets, fostered lax regulation, and campaign contributions helped the political process along. The banks misjudged risk, wildly overleveraged, and paid their executives handsomely for being short-sighted; lax regulation let them get away with it—putting at risk the entire economy. The mortgage brokers neglected due diligence, since they would not bear the risk of default once their mortgages had been securitized and sold to others. Others can be blamed: the ratings agencies that judged subprime securities as investment grade; the Fed, which contributed low interest rates; the Bush administration, whose Iraq war and tax cuts for the rich made low interest rates necessary.
Psychologists to the Rescue!
With Danny Kahneman's Nobel prize in economics every other week has a big-name author or journalist writing a breathless article about how the new 'behavioral economics' will fix sterile financial theory. Alas, way back in 1951 this was a tired theme. George Stigler noted "each decade, for the past nine or ten decades [ie, back to 1851!], economists have read widely in the then-current psychological literature. These explorers have published their findings, and others in the field have found them wanting—wanting in useful hypotheses about economic behavior."
Take, for example, the anchoring bias, where people do not adjust their prior beliefs sufficiently when presented with new data. On the other hand, there's the case where people do not sufficiently account for base rate information, as for example when they are told a woman is quiet and assume she's a librarian, not saleswoman, even though there are more saleswomen than librarians. Thus, over, or underreaction to information is a common 'bias', and so Kahneman's classic work Judgment Under Uncertainty: Heuristics and Biases surveys papers from the 1970s! After a generation, the low hanging fruit has been picked, and where are we? Momentum and mean-reversion are part of the 'new' finance, and George Soros proudly notes that his theory of markets has markets biased—though it could be in either direction. Yet, these are not really discovered by behavioral economics, but explained by it on a case by case basis. Prospect theory teaches us that people overweight, or underweight, extreme observations in various contexts. These insights are no more useful than saying the effect of X on Y 'could go either way, depending on a bunch of other information we probably won't notice until after the fact'.
A new book about psychiatry, Doctoring the Mind by Richard Bentall argues that the science of the mind is hardly a successful science. He argues that mental illness is on the increase and sufferers in the developed world with access to psychiatric care actually fare worse than patients in poorer countries. It wasn't too long ago, many psychologists thought a lot of anxiety came from wanting to kill one's father in order to have sex with one's mother, an ambition so absurd only a scientist could think it made sense. Then there were lobotomies, homosexuality as a mental illness, criminals having insufficient self esteem (we now know they have too much), autism caused by bad mothering, and on and on. Lastly, have you ever thought that psychologists are happier, more well adjusted people than average? I don't think so, yet that's their specialty. So these guys are now going to help economics? I doubt it.
This is not to say I think economics is especially fruitful. My book addresses a rather central issue that I think is flawed in economics. I'm just saying that 'cognitive biases' are an embarrassment of riches that lead everywhere and nowhere, which Bentall's books suggests is hardly surprising.
Jim Cramer Generates 134.79% Return!
Recently, my email has been full of all sorts of Cramer-Spam, with stories about all these great stock picks he made. Here's a sample of bullet points from emails from "Jim Cramer ([email protected])":
Model Portfolio Outperforms S&P 500: 134.79% Total Average Return*
On January 20th, I bought Goldman Sachs at $60. When it hit $85 on January 28th, I trimmed my shares, locking in a 41% gain
I bought GE at $8.78 when everyone thought it was going bankrupt — and now it's up 50%.
My subscribers were right on hand as I bought NKE for $44 on March 19th, watched the stock skyrocket, and pocketed my profits on June 2nd for a return of 34%.
RealMoney recommended China Green Agriculture (CGA) when its shares were trading at $5. The stock closed at $8.09 and subscribers who followed our advice netted a 61.8% gain
RealMoney advised subscribers to buy shares in Darling International (DAR) when the stock was trading at $4.54 a share. The stock then closed at $6.60. Once again, RealMoney nailed the market with a 46% return.
P.S. I can only extend this offer to you for 48 hours so please do not delay.... you have absolutely nothing to lose when you take us up on our $129.95 offer
Notice his example picks have an average return well above anyone's hurdle rate, with returns of 30% to 134.79% (love than .79). It's funny when people sell penis enlargement pills online for $50 because its silly and not a lot of money, but as John Stewart noted, the stock market isn't a game. This is disgraceful and CNBC should be aware this makes them part of his scam. It simply isn't plausible that 30%+ returns are representative, and they know that, and suredly would say they didn't mean every return is this high, but it's like lottery ads saying 'anyone can win'—true enough, but highly misleading.
The following is from my book on stock recommendations, where I note that in contrast to standard asset pricing theory, ALL stock recommendations promise above average returns. In theory, half of all stocks should be recommended with below-average returns because they have good 'risk adjusted' returns, but this doesn't happen. That this never happens highlights a profound mischaracterization of risk-taking by standard asset pricing theory. People only take risk to outperform, never to achieve a lower return with greater safety (excluding cash-like asset holdings, such as AAA bonds or short term paper).
Jim Cramer is now an internet hack shill. His encyclopedic knowledge of company details is impressive, and he did run a successful hedge fund for a decade, though as a hedge fund his performance claims are unaudited and implausible (24% annual returns with 1 down quarter over 10 years). Yet for some strange reason, like many famous investors, he quickly realizes it is more profitable to sell advice than invest on it. If he had anything like the edge he claims (5% out performance?), it simply makes no sense to sell this advice as opposed to invest on it, especially when you have capital to start.
So now the same company (CNBC) he used for his pump-and-dumps in the 1990s he uses to broadcast his highly popular show 'Mad Money', illustrating that the best salesman create willing dupes impervious to experience. Note that Cramer went on John Stewart's Daily Show, and instead of defending himself, obsequiously cried 'my bad' and hoped he could then buddy up with a witty and more popular celebrity. Stewart was having none of it, and just piled on the criticism, showing that some people have the integrity not to change their positions merely because they are offered a mutual public admiration quid-pro-quo.
As found in this YouTube clip, Cramer has a selective memory when it comes to his recommendations. And his bizarre claim that he manipulated the Spiders (SPY) by shorting them, is so inconceivable, it makes me skeptical of anything he says about his experience (this market is too large for someone running a small hedge fund, and after pushing it down, exactly how do you make money?).

Is Goldman Evil?
Goldman Sachs is one of the most respected private firms in the world. With their astronomical paychecks, and their selective recruitment, they clearly inspire a lot of envy.
Goldman is self-interested, which means they don't share all their ideas, and they don't hire everyone capable who wants a job there, but that's inevitable and you can't let that color your views. The latest hatchet job in Rolling Stone is by Matt Tiabbi, who has a profoundly adolescent and paranoid world-view that seems clever and witty only for the kind of people who read Rolling Stone to learn about finance. It's not worth a point by point rebuttal, because like Oliver Stone's JFK, you have so many issues of contention it becomes pointless rather quickly. The bottom line is Goldman is a large investment bank, so they have connections to everyone and everything. To hold them responsible for all the conspicuous bad things and people of the past is just a logical error, like blaming 7-11 for alcoholism (they sell a lot of alcohol!).
Those who think Goldman was the prime mover in our financial mess are simply wrong, as Goldman was as guilty as everyone who did not second-guess the assumption that aggregate housing prices do not fall in nominal terms (academics, legislators, regulators, investors, home buyers, investment bankers, rating agencies—did I forget anyone?).
Recently, Goldman filed a complaint against an ex-employee, and somehow got the Justice Department to effectively act as their attorneys in what should be a civil matter! That is, when I was sued by my ex-employer for 'violating my confidentiality agreement' in various nefarious ways (such as applying mean-variance optimization), it was a civil action. A criminal action is much more difficult to defend, and is very unusual for such a charge. Clearly Goldman has connections with the right people, but everyone knows that.
I think GS as an example of what happens when you have a bunch of smart, highly connected people working together to get rich. There is a lot of inside ownership, and so their large bonus structure clearly implies they understand the Lafffer curve, in that giving people stronger incentives helps everyone—capital and labor.
In the first half of 2009 suggested an average employee compensation of $700k per year. In general, GS pays about as much in bonuses they do in profits to shareholders. This suggests those on the ground, making the deals, are able to get about half of the profit.
This is often the case for alpha generators, as for example consider that hedge funds make 2 percent of assets and 20 percent of profits. Then over the glory years of convertible bonds from 1994 through 2003 when those funds returned 10 percent to investors with minuscule volatility, the owners of these funds pulled in about 4 percent of assets in profits for themselves, while investors received about 4.5 percent in annual returns above the LIBOR. As one might expect when you have two inputs, equally necessary, the split seems to be near 50–50. That is, in any investment with alpha, you have two things, equally necessary: he who identifies the alpha, and he with the capital. In any particular case the proceeds are split according to negotiating strength, but on average we should expect an approximate equal split, as there appears to be in high alpha strategies (I go over this in my book (of course) Finding Alpha).
The net result is that if you pay these lucky bastards a lot of money, as an equity owner you can make a lot of money too. There are surely a lot of overpaid Goldman employees as you would expect in any large organization (I know several!), and much of their value comes from Goldman's alpha: connections, brandname, and monopoly access. Yet on average these people are being rewarded appropriately and if you want a growing economy you have to accept this. I know this is hard for many people to accept because given the large number of smart, hard-working individuals of good integrity who don't make $700k a year, Goldman's workers are in that sense very fortunate and this is somehow unfair. You can't run an economy based on cosmic justice—that's for our creator—so you have to deal with the reality that life is somewhat arbitrary, and to accept that inequality in income is better than poverty. Considering they make this money out of their profits, not taxes, it doesn't bother me at all.
Is the Equity Risk Premium Actually Zero?
One of the most important constants in finance is the Equity Risk premium, that expected return on the signature risk asset, equities, over the risk free alternative (usually, long-term Treasuries). It's the one risk premium that is generally considered positive, too large even, which is a relief because in most areas the returns are decidedly negative for taking more risk. Estimates in the early 1990s were about 8%, now, around 3% annually.
In today's WSJ Jason Zwieg goes over a flaw in Jeremey Siegel's famous stock return estimate going back to 1802. As one would expect, stock indices prior to 1871 have a lot of survivorship bias issues. He suspects Siegel's index accounts for only 5% of equity investments actually available, and so could be severely biased, because the difference between the winners, and the average, is usually quite large. This highlights the many subtle biases in historical asset returns.
I have found that on average industry stratistics are maintained by biased parties, because those who do the work collecting such data invariably have a vested interest in the asset class, and incentives matter. Little things like selection biases in historical reconstructions, corporate actions, can get very detailed and matter a great deal. I have seen performance records where I had inside knowledge of the guy's strategy, and every time their performance was exaggerated. People exaggerate with a rather straightforward, self-interested bias on things that can help them, and index creators invariably have a rooting interest in the asset class they are 'merely monitoring'.
Is the equity premium really zero? I think for the average investor, yes it is, and it's a central issue in my book, Finding Alpha. As that old classic noted, the question 'where are all the customer's yachts?' answers itself.
Consider the following annualized adjustments that mainstream economists apply piecemeal, though when considered in total take the current estimate of 3% well below zero:
Geometric vs. Arithmetic averaging: 2% (See Dimson, Marsh, and Staunton). This is where a stock going from 100, to 200, back to 100 has an arithmetic return of +25%, the geometric lower, at zero. Geometric is relevant to the long-term investor, and most investors have a much greater volatility than the indices, making this estimate conservative.
Survivorship Bias/Peso Problems: 3% (see Rietz, Jorion and Goetzmann, Barro) The US is the best market in the 20th century, so not a good datapoint for an 'average' going forward.
Taxes: 3% (see Gannon and Blum, 2006). Since 1960, the after-tax equity premium is reduced to about 60 basis points is you assume 20% turnover and a top tax rate.
Adverse market Timing: 3% (See Dichev, 2005). Alas, most inflows are at peaks, outflows in troughs. The average dollar invested has experienced a much lower return than the annual averages.
Transaction Costs: 2%. historically, commissions were about 60 cent/share until the 1975 deregulation, and are currently w about 2 cents a share (about 0.1%) on average. Plus, mutual funds often had 8.5% fees. Trade impact is rarely mentioned, but for an institution it is unavoidable, at least 0.2% one-way. Lastly, the bid-ask spread will cost you about 0.25% on average if you cross it, much more historically. It doesn't matter than some passive funds have negative expenses, because we are talking about a hundred year average for your average or marginal investor.
The bottom line is these are all individually very modest adjustments, and so the current 3% equity risk premium is well below the total 13% adjustment. Like the OJ evidence, you can throw out ANY ¾ of the evidence and the equity premium is zero! Caveat Emptor.

Tail Volatility and 1987
There was an interesting paper on estimating the probability of the tails via option prices (see Backus, Chernov, and Martin here). Barro seems to have really revived the Rietz 'peso problem' model, by looking at a variety of large macro-economic shocks related to wars and revolutions in the twentieth century. There's an excellent summary of this work here.
One person noted that things could actually be pretty boring. That is, in 1987 the market fell so much on one day (23%), ever since then there has been a large premium for out-of-the-money options. The graph above is from Jackworth and Rubinstein (1994). This shows that basically the market did not anticipate the 1987 crash, but since then, has this event priced in.
The funny thing is how far back and how deep this literature on disasters is. Nassim Taleb and his acolytes (the Taleban) seem to think economists are totally wedded to the Gaussian distribution, which ignores fat tails and extreme events. That is, he sees the naive Black-Scholes model, and ignoring the volatility smile, infers that this means economists don't believe disasters matter. This is just a really ignorant and misleading statement, fun for dilettantes who love to lampoon experts via a caricature, but it is really a waste of time.
My forecasted winners: Henderson, St.Pierre, Lesnar.[note: this was pre, and I was 100% correct!]
I actually wanted to bet on Lesnar, but on bodog.com it looked like I would have to risk $5 to make $1, which seemed too expensive. But Lesnar's a local guy, and I heard that he really trains hard, and is just a genetic freak in terms of strength. His partners said that Lesnar's ju-jitsu has improved considerably so Mir has basically no chance of surprising Lesnar with a knee bar like last year.
Too bad Frank Mir lost, he's a really thoughtful guy, unlike Lesnar, who is dumb as a post. Here's a picture of me giving Frank the business at the Arnold Classic in 2005.
NBER Summer Conference
So, I was at the 2009 Econ shindig. There were literally a hundred presentations, and discussions, and the variance of findings very broad.
My summary in brief (see papers here):
On average, economists are thinner than average. I'm not sure why, or if that's good for economists. Financial economists are also about 85% male, and while most practice in the US, most are from Europe and Asi. Most importantly for me: Everyone in finance speaks English!
discussions are very honest and thorough about things like logic, innovation, and relation to the literature.
discussions are silent on irrelevancies. If you estimate something very complicated on something that 90% of he audience finds irrelevant, those 10% who find it interesting will mention ways to adjust your method. The 90% who find it irrelevant just keep their mouths shut. This encourages irrelevancies (eg, GMM, looking at various instruments)
there was a strong feeling that the Federal Reserve was in danger of losing its independence. That the Federal Government was basically lost all fiscal discipline, and so anticipating future Fed monetizations, was a common theme. If hyperinflation due to fiscal irrationality comes, it will be with a large number of those seeing it before the fact, very unlike the recent crisis where very few in 2006 warned of a housing price collapse.
There were a lot of papers about how to account for fat tail events. These were called 'nuclear' or crisis events under the Barro-Reitz framework (aka Peso problems). If you listen to Nassim Taleb you would think economists were unaware of fat tails, but if you went to this conference, you would hear a lot about what Taleb calls 'Black Swans'. This is why Taleb hates academics, because they don't see his big idea as 'new'.
Calibration exercises, which are true by definition, have too much weight. Either demonstrate out-of-sample usefulness or don't mention it. I find these totally useless empirically, but that's because my game is to make money for investors, in contrast to academics, which is to publish papers useful for future publications.

Congressional Report on Housing Crisis
Not a bad read by the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. It goes over how the legislative drive to increase home ownership contributed to this mess. Too bad the author(s) are simply designated as 'staff'.
It quotes Nobel Know-It-All Joe Stiglitz circa 2002 (with current OMB director Peter Orszag):
"the risk to the government from a potential default on GSE debt is effectively zero," and that "the expected cost to the government of providing an explicit government guarantee on $1 trillion in GSE debt is just $2 million."
It ends with a taste of why this won't go anywhere, noting Barney Frank has "asserted that those who criticize these policies seek to place blame for the financial crisis solely on borrowers of modest means", but then references a piece that is a bit more, uh, frank: "Frank Says GOP Housing Attacks Racially Motivated". This highlights how we got into this mess, in that the 20% down payment, or income verification criteria, was deemed racist, so indefensible.
Efficient Markets vs. the CAPM
The 'myth' of the rational markets suggests a straw man argument in practice, a position no one argues, but popular discussion and pandering authors discuss endlessly. If you think rationality implies perfection or an absence of market declines you are wrong, so don't waste too much time on this precious insight; it's like discovering that nature AND nurture affect IQ.
It is important to remember that while academics, almost exclusively economists, believe some form of market efficiency, most non-economists don't. Back in the 1970s and 80s when index funds were being introduced, most leading magazines lambasted the idea, noting how stupid an index fund was because people like Warren Buffet or Peter Lynch proves this is suboptimal. Thus, John Bogle (head of Vanguard) had to fight to get his board to accept an index fund, and this while he was CEO! Even today index funds are a small portion (about 15%, depending on how you count it) of equity investors.
In my book Finding Alpha (which has a short SSRN summary article here), I note that unlike Efficient Markets Hypothesis, which has never been popular with regular people, the Capital Asset Pricing Model has been warmly regarded since inception. The picture above shows the cover of Institutional Investor magazine in 1971 discussing 'The Beta Cult' as if it were a done deal. The first empirical confirmation had yet to even be published! Of course, this confirmation (by Black, Jensen and Scholes('72), Fama and MacBeth ('73), and Blume and Friend('73)) was spurious, meticulously correcting for 'errors in variables', but totally blowing it on the omitted variable of size, which itself proxied measurement error issues related to delistings.
Why does the CAPM and its derivatives get such a better reception than the Efficient Markets Hypothesis? Both rely on rational investors, though they are independent theories (neither implies the other). I think the efficient markets hypothesis plays into an easier caricature, which is unfortunate because as a guideline the implication of the EMH is a much better approximation of reality than the CAPM (or its spawn the SDF or APT approaches). That is, no measure of risk linearly, positively, relates to returns as a first approximation. In contrast, most investors lose money the more they trade, and their deviations from the market do not, on average, have alpha. See a small discussion from my video 3 on my book Finding Alpha:
So all you non-economists so self-satisfied for not believing that markets are perfect, have fun taking on idiosyncratic risk for an extra 100 basis points a year. Way to stick to those smug economists.
Definition of a Liberal
When a government program does not seem to be working, the obvious solution is to spend more in the same manner (see Krugman, Tyson about the stimulus plan).
As Bill Easterly writes about foreign aid, if only we 'doubled' our expenditures, problems would be solved!
Defining Deviancy Down

Robert Haugen Champions Safe Stocks
Bob Haugen has been writing about the inefficient stock market for a long time. His JFE piece (Commonality in the determinants of expected stock returns) with Nardin Baker back in 1996. His recent SSRN paper revists these themes and declares Case Closed:
This article provides conclusive evidence that the U.S. stock market is highly inefficient. ... Stunningly, the ten percent of stocks with highest expected return, in aggregate, are low risk and highly profitable, with positive trends in profitability. They are cheap relative to current earnings, cash flow, sales, and dividends. ... Undeniably, the highest expected return stocks are, collectively, highly attractive; the lowest expected return stocks are very scary - results fatal to the efficient market hypothesis. While this evidence is consistent with risk loving in the cross-section, we also present strong evidence consistent with risk aversion in the market aggregate's longitudinal behavior. These behaviors cannot simultaneously exist in an efficient market.
My book Finding Alpha is consistent with his findings. That is, firms that have low volatility, high profitability, low leverage, and just about anything correlated with 'safe' or 'not risky' tend to outperform their opposite. The standard approach is trying to find a 'risk factor' that explains why Coca-Cola type companies are riskier than GM type companies, which I think is impossible.
Yet, I find myself disagreeing with Haugen in two major areas. First, he says that he finds people are risk averse in general, because markets fall when volatility rises. This fact is true, whether one measures this using an equity implied volatility, or an contemporaneous measure of volatility (eg, those months with the highest daily vol will have the lowest returns). Yet going forward, this result does not hold. A higher implied volatility, or historical vol, does not augur higher returns. Thus, all we know is that when volatility rises, the stock market will fall. This is only consistent with risk aversion if such a fall presages a higher future return, as where the dividend forecast is the same, but the immediate price decline (and negative return) is just capitalizing this higher return. It does not work like that. You get a lower return immediately, and no higher return in the future.
Think of it this way. If you were averse to volatility, you would want an asset that would be a relative outperformer in these periods, not a relative underperformer. But those stocks with the highest covariation with volatility changes are those same crappy stocks with the lowest overall return. In sum, contemporaneous inverse correlation between volatility and returns is inconsistent with risk aversion because forward-looking volatility and return correlations are weak if not negative as well.
Given he hates market efficiency, he should jump over to my side, and see it as an equilibrium where people pay for hope. There is generally risk neutrality, with a little risk loving at the high end, and premium for cash-type assets, creating a slight bow in risk and return.
His other issue where I find myself in disagreement is his rather over-ambitious embrace of anomalies. He had a book, the Incredible January Effect, which was a big deal in the 1980s, but you can't make money off this any more, and perhaps given transaction costs you never could. That is, much of what drives historical database anomalies are thinly traded stocks that move from $1 to $1 1/8, a massing 12.5% return, annualizing to a 3150% return! As there is a power law to stock distributions, a large proportion of stocks invariably are small and untradeable, and inferences therefrom are uninteresting.
In the early 2000's, he had a model where he ran rolling regressions on 50 or so factors, and allowed these coefficients to flip around from positive to negative. Many of the 50 factors are highly correlated (profit margin, ROE, ROA), and this causes their coefficients to have the 'wrong sign', because correlated explanatory variables tend to do this. He is vague about how he computes 'profits' in his backtests, and this can be problematic if, say, you use 1994 profits for 1995 returns, considering the '1994' fiscal year ends in June 1995 for many companies, and is released with a lag of up to 3 months. It is straightforward to account for this, but unless the author notes his explicit care for these issues, one has to assume he did not do a good job. I remember seeing his 1-10 portfolios back in 2003, and they took a nasty beating that year. A couple years later I visited his website and it was like a Soviet history text with that drubbing wiped out of the historical record, presumably because a new model was now applied to the past.
In my experience, those who use a lot of correlated factors are overfitters, and this makes their back tests look great, their out-of-sample tests horrible. His 1996 paper argues for 3% monthly excess returns. His current model implies a similar level of outperformance (40% between the top and bottom decile, annualized). Fama and French's recent study of mutual funds finds out of thousands, the top outperformers were in the 5% annualized range, so proposing your long picks outperform the market by 25% is bat-shiat crazy talk. That is transparently overfit, like internet spam advertising 50%+ returns. It's a shame, because he does not need to overfit the data to make his basic point, but he overfits nonetheless, and overfitting is one of those predilections that few economists are immune to.
Justin Fox on CNBC
I saw a snippet of Justin Fox discussing his misleadingly titled book, 'The Myth of the Rational Market', and he continues to not admonish those who praise the book but haven't read it. Market Haynes summarizes the theory of efficient markets thusly:
One of the longest held economics theories is called the Efficient Markets Hypothesis, basically it says the market's always right...
That's just wrong. It is a straw man argument, like saying Republicans hate poor people, that Black-Scholes caused the failure of LTCM, or that Value-at-Risk is a panacea: only naive critics say these things.
I think Fox may realize this, but I also think it is possible that amidst all his study, he doesn't really understand the ideas in play. After all, in that same interview, his big note of a regulatory reform that might help is Glass-Steagall, which is about as related to this crisis as the deregulation of Airlines (they both involved deregulation). For in his book, he notes the failure of beta as related to the Efficient Markets Hypothesis (the EMH), but it is not clear how. I guess the nuance of the theory, how any test is a joint test of a market model and the EMH, is too subtle for either his audience, or Fox. For example, the CAPM could be true while the EMH false, and the EMH could be true and the CAPM false. So, tying the CAPM into his book is really confusing unless you explain why and how it failed.
I still like the book, which is much less tendentious than how presented in any of his TV appearances. But not as an exposition of the EMH debate, rather, as a supplement. There's good stuff in there, just don't expect to be clear on whether markets are efficient or not.

Ex-Goldman Quant Arrested
Bloomberg reports a computer programmer, Sergey Aleynikov, was arrested July 3 on arriving at the Newark, New Jersey, airport and charged with theft of trade secrets. As someone involved in intellectual property litigation, it brings back nightmares, though I am happy to say I've never been arrested.
From Bloomberg, they note that:
the proprietary code lets the firm do "sophisticated, high-speed and high-volume trades on various stock and commodities markets," prosecutors said. The trades generate "many millions of dollars" each year, they said.
This highlights the problem with IP law. These statements sound like sufficient probable cause to a judge, but they could be a program that buys stocks based on the simplest of pairs trading algorithms. The problem is that intellectual property law in most states allows an ex-employer a very broad scope to level charges, so if someone wants to accuse you of something very vague based on the flimsiest arguments(eg, 'he planned to do mean-variance optimization as he did at our firm') they have the right. As an instrument of harassment this is much scarier than any anti-terrorist legislation, because no one cares when it is abused. The fact that while they engage in discovery (which can last years) and send and receive interogatories, searching your hard drives and emails, you cannot work for anyone because without a precise definition as to what information, code, algorithms, etc., are at issue, anyone doing business with you is taking on infinite liability. Plus, good IP lawyers cost a lot of money, and as litigation takes several years, a large firm can easily bankrupt a target. With such a prospect, a rich litigator can make the ex-employee an offer he can't refuse.
Firms who engage in such over broad litigation are invariably alpha-less because only those so insecure about how outsiders view their alpha, and how important non-principals are to their alpha, use this tactic gratuitiously. In the end, it does not work, mainly because 1) they demonstrate they believe they have little endogenous alpha, which is usually true and 2) no new alpha comes in, because those with a choice prefer to avoid such people.
In this case, I think Goldman is probably on the right side. This is because Goldman has a habit of letting ex-employees leave and prosper, as they have learned to use their ex-employee success to their advantage. They have no insecurity that people will think Goldman's alpha is from the current crop leaving to start new companies, as this has been going on for decades. Further, the person at issue is a computer programmer, not a trader or portfolio manager, and such code is often very specific (not broad concepts like 'variance' or 'cash flow'). Lastly, programmers are usually given algorithms to code; it is implausible that such workers already knew about parochial trading rules based on previous work automating account statements for Blue Cross.

What's your favorite Vietnamese restaurant in Louisville?...Beside Vietnam Kitchen. I know it's an American favorite, but you don't see many Vietnamese eating there for a reason. While the menu is large and the food decent, it's not great Vietnamese food. Here's my analogy, it's like going to McDonald's for a generic burger vs. grilling your own juicy burger at home or invite yourself over to your neighbor's house for same such delicious burger. If you're looking to expand your food comfort zone a bit and venture into someone else's backyard for a juicy burger, er.. great Vietnamese food, you're in luck. This weekend isTết or Vietnamese New year Celebration and the perfect time to do so.
Every year, the Vietnamese Community of Louisville Inc. coordinates Tet for a community of 10,000+ people, attendance is around 400+ people. It is the one event of the year that brings everyone in the community together to celebrate our cultural tradition and heritage. Full disclosure, I'm on the Board so you're getting some inside info!
We coin the term "rubber band time" to describe the tendency of Vietnamese people to show up 30 minutes or even an hour late to an event. The program will start at 4 p.m., but usually the place will not get very crowded until 5 p.m.

A little bit of chaos. Our community is growing. We're the second fastest growing minority population (after Hispanics) so expect to see a lot of tight jeans wearing teens and wailing babies. It's high energy, crowded and lots of people moving about, just like any public event you go too. You'll just feel hyper aware of it because you'll be one of the few brave culturally curious souls there that's non-Vietnamese. You might think everyone is talking about you, but I guaranteed only ½ of them are. Kidding! We applaud and welcome you for getting out of your comfort zone.
People will talk during performances in the auditorium, groups will congregate in the cafeteria and hallways. But that's because this is one of the few events where people get to see each other.
The Louisville Lion Dance Team. Feed the lions money as they dance for good luck!
The entertainment lineup consist of a traditional ceremony, local singers crooning new year melodies, traditional and hip hop dances by youth groups, a raffle for a free tv, etc. Special to this year is the Mrs. Vietnamese Kentucky Pageant, its aim is to honor the role of the Vietnamese women in the family and society. Having worked closely with the group, I'm excited to see these courageous, talented and fun loving women on stage. Also, special to this year's entertainment is a dance retelling one of the most epic revenge stories in the world by two Vietnamese sisters, think elephants and an epic battle to the death.

My favorite part! This is the place to try delicious (cheap) food beyond the Vietnam Kitchen's menu. You'll find homemade favorites like banh mi sandwiches, soups (usually pho or bun bo hue), rice crepes, roasted pork, grilled meat and vermicelli noodles, papaya salads, egg rolls, snacks, desserts and drinks. Items vary from year to year. Most of the items are pre-made and on display, so if it looks good, grab it. Not sure what it is? Ask someone, they'll be happy to help you out. The foods are made by individuals and nonprofit organizations looking to raise money. Cash only.
The food vendors will be set up in the cafeteria. After you entered the main entrance, go straight and take a right down the hall way at the end. Cafeteria is on your left. Cafeteria opens at 4:30 p.m.
If you venture out, look for me. I'll be happy to give you a tour! Hope to see you there!
My Catholic husband usually doesn't know the date for Ash Wednesday or even Easter, but if I ask if he knows when and where he wants to go get some fry fish during Lent, he knows the spot and the day: Fridays, St. Bernard for fish tacos.
Fish tacos from St. Bernard.
We've started a new tradition of trying out new fish fries during Lent the last three years at local churches (our experiences in 2014 and 2015). Actually, he's happy going back to St. Bernard every week. I, on the other hand, love the opportunity to try a different fish fry every week during this Lent season, this year it's from 3/6/2019 to 4/18/19.
So if you're looking for some great places to try, here's a list of what we've tried and what we are planning on trying this year. You can find a complete list published by the Archdiocese at the end of the page.
Entrees usually come with two sides or drinks, homemade desserts and live entertainment.
Bring your order form to the food line to get your food.
This is by far the smallest fish fry we've been to but it's conveniently located right near Eastern Prkway and Bardstown Rd. Enter from the side of the school (near the playground) into the small gym. They offer $10 fish, oyster or shrimp dinner with two sides and dessert. It's basic fish fry fares that bring me straight back to elementary school days.
We really enjoyed the fresh, flaky and lightly battered fried fish here ($5) and definitely will be coming back. There's also limited availability of the tacos, $3, though I don't think they are as good. The sides are delicious, ranging from $1.5 - $2 each, especially the fries and the onion rings. The fish fry is in the small cafeteria, so be prepared to share some tables.
For seafood lover, grab the friar platter which includes fried codfish, shrimps, hush puppies, pan fries and rolled oysters. The breading on the fish is different from other places I've been as it's ticker and more seasoned, though I'm not a big fan of codfish overall. A good place to try as it's closer to town, offers a few beer selections, and accepts credit card. Complete menu here.
Best thing about this fish fry is that they have a drive through and the sides are delicious! My favorite is the slightly spicy green beans. The fish is your standard breaded fried codfish. For the little ones, there's face panting ($1) and mini golf course ($3) set up in the gym.
Twisty winding roads will lead you to this hidden gem. The specialty here is the fish taco, $10 for three large fish tacos, 2 sides and a drink. One bite and my husband was immediately in love. The place was crowded so expect a long wait. If you just want tacos (which I highly recommend), there's a shorter quicker line for that but there are no sides in this line.
The menu at this place is small, but you really don't need anything else when the fish is as good as theirs. They serve whiting fish, bought from Hungry Pelican across the road, breaded and fried on the premise. The pieces are large and the fish flaky and fresh. It's definitely high on my favorite list. Take out in the cafeteria (full menu) and sit down in the gym (limited menu).
Beautiful church in a beautiful and affluent part of town. So far one my favorites as far as hospitality goes. Super friendly hosts that made us feel welcomed and created a warm and inviting atmosphere. You can choose from healthier options such as pan seared tilapia with white wine sauce and vegetables cooked with wine sauce. There's also boil shrimps, beers and wine (included with dinner, donations accepted).
I rarely get the baked fish, but it's hard to resist as soon as I saw it on the food line. It's covered in garlic butter goodness topped with fresh dill (and thyme?) It's a nice change from the fry fish every week. I also enjoyed the lightly battered shrimp. I tried to get a taste of the my husband's fried fish but he finished it before I got the chance. He liked it! It's a great deal, $8 for an entree and 2 sides.
The banana pudding here is reportedly one of the best.
This fish fry has a warm and cozy atmosphere.
They have a large selection of items to choose from and a lot of homemade desserts.
St. Patrick around the Lake Forest area. My friend said the food is good.
I'll update them often this season, so check back. Or if you got a great place, let us know!
My husband is very easy to please when it comes to food, give him meat and lots of it, and he'll be a happy man. I can count on one hand his absolutely favorite places to eat in Louisville. Today, I'm featuring one of two reviews he's ever written because this chicken place is his absolutely favorite (I like it too but to a lesser extreme).
Yummy Pollo - Guest Review by Frank B.
I absolutely have to be floored by a place for me to write something. Even the tablet I wrote this on was about to die which I could of just given up then (wife says I'm lazy) but hell, I was that determined to give this place the recognition it deserves. With mighty spell check in tow (she also says I'm a horrible speller), I carried forth!
We've tried to eat at Yummy Pollo on several occasions but it was always closed due to it's odd hours but from the little positive word of mouth at the time, we were adamant about trying it and boy am I glad we never gave up.
As soon as we stepped inside the owner greeted us with a smile. Each time we come into this place he greets us like we've been friends forever, which my wife thinks I secretly hope for because he's genuinely that nice!
The seasoning used for it is amazing. They give you 2 different sauces to try and honestly I could eat the chicken without it. It's that juicy and flavorful. I've been to this establishment quite a few times and it's never disappointed me. The sides are also freshly made everyday ranging from fresh veggies to fantastic yucca fries. The chicken rice is something I normally get as my side because it complements the main chicken entree very well. What's the price for all this deliciousness? For half a chicken and 2 sides which is what I normally get, it's under 10 bucks!
I'm a health nut and I consume a lot of chicken which is one of those things that if you don't cook right, it can be down right bland but Yummy Pollo knows exactly how to make it damn tasty. With great food and pricing, you've forever won a place in my heart Yummy Pollo. In fact, I've made myself hungry after writing this so I'll see you in a bit!

'T.A.Z' (temporary autonous zone)
Petach Tikva Museum
As part of Citizens/ Curator: Neta Gal-Azmon
Medium: steel, metal panels, cctv, print, magnet, glass, wood
Dimensions: 36x40x94inch / 92x102x238cm
T.A.Z.: The Temporary Autonomous Zone is the title of an anarchist philosophical treatise by Hakim Bey (pseudonym) published in 1991, calling to set up temporary freedom zones to assist in the constant avoidance of government overreach. According to Bey, the liberation afforded by the anarchist revolution is short-lived and ephemeral in nature. To avoid falling into the trap of resistance and co-option ("If you can't beat them, swallow them up"), he proposes an alternative tactic of disappearance — acting outside the state's conceptual range in the form of "low" networked organizations within existing society. Highly democratic, egalitarian, liberal societies devoid of central governments, he maintains, have transpired in the past in areas outside the reach of state apparatuses. T.A.Z aims to create such transient mini-zones of freedom and autonomy, allowing for temporary escape from the state's built-in coercion.
Ironically, of all things in Bey's book, Zac Hacmon's work with and in spaces adopts the "guard post" — an ugly makeshift structure that conveys anonymity, alienation, and control, but for the "guard" occupying it, it is an intimate, autonomous space. The work is based on the artist's experiences from the time he worked as a security guard, and the guard's booth offered him a microcosm of quiet in utter contrast to the definition of the job. Invited to step into the guard's shoes, the viewer notices that a central element in this provisional structure is a CCTV that screens the goings-on in the museum space through the lenses of four security cameras. The booth, which offers the guard occupying it a refuge from the world, simultaneously defines him as an authoritative figure in relation to those outside it. Paradoxically, the T.A.Z becomes an aggressive means of territory demarcation and spatial control.

Exile of Lucifer
Darrell Grizzle
Fast-Paced Action Novella
A fast-paced action novella that introduces us to Abraham Snow, a spy who tries to retire after recovering from an almost-fatal bullet shot – but circumstances (and his family) conspire to keep him from doing so. Snow's grandfather Archer Snow is an amazing character! DragonCon fans will recognize the Atlanta hotel where most of the action takes place. Stuart Gauffi, the Audible narrator, has a great voice for this story. Highly recommended!
Steven Murphy
A Great Introduction to Abraham Snow
Snow Falls is about a military man finding his new place in life when he is thrust back into active duty. It sets up an interesting family dynamic and a cast of adversaries for the next books of the series while providing a fun, easy read. The main character, Abraham Snow, is a Jack Ryan type in that he makes a good perspective for readers to follow into whatever plot is set before him. | {

Goodradigbee Distillers on Packaging of the World
Designer: Lucy Edison
Creative Director/Writer: Peter Ogden
Photographer: Ange Maloney
Client: Goodradigbee Distillers
Product Launch Location: Australia
Packaging Contents: Spirits/liquor
Printing Process: Digital printing
Goodradigbee Distillers aims to be the first truly contemporary distillery that eschews the age-old traditions surrounding single malts.
Lucy Edison, designer: "The Goodradigbee River, in the Snowy Mountains of NSW, Australia, is where John, the founder, learned to fly-fish as a boy. This remote river has guided the essence of Goodradigbee Distillers, so capturing the river itself within the logo was crucial. The logo not only forms a cube to reflect the brand's unique stance, it's also designed to help people phonetically pronounce the brand name. And the bottle itself is a cube."
Peter Ogden, Creative Director: "I was writing copy and developing the brand in Sydney, Australia, while Lucy, our designer, was in lockdown in the UK. Ange Maloney, our photographer, is based in Newcastle, two hours north of Sydney, so that was a bit easier to wrangle. We shot everything in John's garage, not that you'd notice from Ange's beautiful images. The background images of the Snowy were large-scale prints of my own landscape photography. Necessity is the mother of invention, so when life gives you lemons, you make lemonade. But when life gives you COVID:19, we figured you make Single Malt and gin."
We have created packaging for three variants of single malt and two different gins. Vodka and rum are waiting in the wings.
John O'Connor, Founder: "I remember thinking: Wouldn't it be great if you could age a single malt quickly? Then another idea: What if you could increase the ratio of wood-to-spirit…wouldn't that age it faster? Only one way to find out…so I designed an Australian Ironbark Red wooden cube, as it has a larger surface area than a barrel. I put diagonal vanes in it to increase the surface area even further. The rest, as they say…is now bottled."
The bottle, and everything about the distillery, is based a round a cube – logo, maturation cubes, social posts, POS, etc. We also left as much of the bottle clear so you could see as much of the purity within as possible.

Well, it turns out that the folks at Apple were listening (doesn't it seem like they're always listening?). And they responded to this all-too common complaint by building a feature called "Parked Car" into Apple Maps for iOS 10 (and up), allowing you to automatically track the location of your vehicle and even pull up handy walking directions to guide you from your current location to your car.
Of course, like location tracking, "Frequent Locations," and other cutting edge Apple features before it, Parked Car is equally notable for being both extremely helpful and, occasionally, unbelievably creepy.
Even for savvy iPhone loyalists, it's easy to see the argument against this one. After all, if you can keep track of your car from afar, what's to stop some outside party from getting access to that information, too? And then there's the practical complaints about Parked Car; as Zac Arthur once wrote over at 9 to 5 Mac, the feature's frequent notifications "can become annoying and spammy" very easily.
Parked Car is made possible with Location Services, Apple's location tracking feature which approximates your position by using information from your cellular, Wi-Fi, and Global Positioning System (GPS) networks, as well as Bluetooth. Parked Car will not function if you turn off Location Services, which can be done on iOS 8 and up by going to Settings > Privacy > Location Services and adjusting your settings.
You may also wish to disable Frequent Locations, which is also required for Parked Car to work properly and is available under Settings > Privacy > Location Services > System Services > Frequent Locations > Frequent Locations. This is a list of your most common destinations and routes sourced from your phone's Location Services data, and may include your home, office, and friends' houses.
Do note that turning off Location Services entirely will affect the performance of many of your Apple and third party apps, including Maps, and many don't wish to eliminate location tracking entirely.
If you wish to leave on your Location Services but disable Parked Car, you may do so quite easily!
You can enable or disable Parked Car alerts by going to Settings > Maps > Your Car. Under "Your Car" you should see a slide bar reading "Show Parked Location." Toggle this slider to off to disable the feature without sacrificing your ability to use Apple Maps or other location-dependent apps.
Have any other questions about your iPhone's functionality? Curious about what it takes to really thrive as a brand in our mobile media landscape? We'd love to keep the conversation about smartphones, apps, and digital marketing going!

I have my own opinions, but I'm interested in hearing yours.
The basic concept is to link up the Mall/City Park complex with a new Expressway. Apparently, the project is on the Chamber's wish list.
As a child, my brother and I were often told as we drove through that area in our parents car "Lock your doors kids "we're in @&$$&* town"….but that was 40 years ago.
As an adult, I have imagined this area (the blocks between Mason and Overton) as a great place for a large linear park that would connect the riverfront trail and the I-49 greenbelt with City Park.
Many folks I have talked to also agree that this would be a good idea. I sometimes wonder what their motivation is though.
In my opinion the linear park could be an asset to the Sonia Quarters neighborhood and possibly spur some re-development in the area that would ultimately increase property values and the overall quality of the neighborhood.
My hunch is that most people (including the Chamber)would like to bulldoze the entire neighborhood and start from scratch. Problem is, all those folks who live there have to go somewhere and I suspect that most aren't able to just "pack up and move".
A linear park could be part of a more systemic approach to changing the landscape of neighborhood without destroying it's endemic charachter.
Lamar…remember my crazy fitness trail idea? That was pretty much a series of linear parks like Darren mentioned. I still think slow speed pedestrian centric transit options is that that area needs.
If the chamber wants more access to/from the mall area, why not expand Broadway and continue it across the river with a new bridge there. Or, Continue Papermill Cut-Off Road across the Red to link back up with I-49?
The only problem I see is that in the future the mall may share the same fate as Shreveport's Mall.
remain an attraction. Your idea has merit using existing streets with easier access feeder street to them.
First, please understand that my homemade map is a rough approximation of a concept, and the plan is much more sophisticated than I have illustrated. Obviously, my arrow goes directly on top of City Park, and no one is suggesting such a route; primarily, this would affect the area I colored in red.
I'm interested in better utilizing existing routes, and while I think the concept has merit, I wonder if we can augment a current corridor to serve as an arterial that feeds into the Pineville Expressway (with the least possible impact to the built environment in the inner-city).
So, as an exercise, maybe we can all begin to think more expansively and creatively about traffic communication in this area.
I'd submit that the solution must be primarily based on the ways in which local traffic patterns "behave." The solution should serve the resident first.
I don't think our mall will share the same fate as Shreveport's mall on Terry Bradshaw. Our mall has a much larger footprint and very aggressive ownership and management.
I like the idea of the connection of Masonic Dr. to the Pineville Expressway. A connection only strengthens the idea of reinvigorating Lee St. as a major commercial corridor between the Mall and downtown. My proposal would include the direct connection of the Expressway to Lee St., with the only loss of some small businesses, thus bringing visitors directly into the commercial corridor upon entering the city, as opposed to driving through a neglected residential neighborhood.
The Lee Street solution is logical and best utilizes existing infrastructure and assets.
I worry that any attempt to reinvent or construct a similar route to the Expressway from the Mall/City Park complex would distract and further isolate Lee Street.
And as luck would have it, Lee Street is also a SPARC corridor. | {

Q: How to declare a generic interface in typescript that uses generic argument as property name? I want to declare some interface like this:
interface Foo<K extends string> {
[k in K]: string // TS error: A computed property name in an interface must refer to an expression whose type is a literal type or a 'unique symbol' type.
}
Usage:
let b: Foo<'bar'> = { bar: '123' }
let c: Foo<'a' | 'b'> = { a: '123', b: '321' }
Is that possible ?
Update:
I can't just use Record utility generic or type aliases because I actually want to use polymorphic this type.
interface Foo<K extends string> {
[k in K] (): this //
}
class Bar implements Foo<'sorted' | 'reversed'> { /* omitted */ }
let foo: Bar
foo.sorted() // returns Bar
foo.reversed().sorted().sorted().reversed() // still Bar
A: Interfaces can't contain mapped types, only type aliases can:
type Foo<K extends string> = {
[k in K]: string
}
let b: Foo<'bar'> = { bar: '123' }
let c: Foo<'a' | 'b'> = { a: '123', b: '321' }
Note that this type is very similar with Record, you might just want to use that. This is equivalent to the explicit mapped type:
type Foo<K extends string> = Record<K, string>
A: @Titian Cernicova-Dragomir 's answer is correct for the original question, while the actual underlying problem of mine was more complicated then the question itself. I'm posting my solution here just in case some other folks reaches here with similar needs.
The actual problem was:
Say I have a class TClass and a function addMethod, which adds some method to the TClass.prototype. In other words, addMethod works as a decorator but I omitted the @ decorator syntax since it cannot change, at least for now, the signature of the class being decorated (See Github issue that tracks this feature).
If addMethod is to be called for only once, the problem is easily solvable by writing a recursive type alias:
type Ctor<T, Args extends any[] = any[]> = new (...args: Args) => T
type CtorParameters<T extends Ctor<any>> = T extends Ctor<any, infer P> ? P : never
type Augmented<T, K extends string, Args extends any[]> = T & { [k in K]: (...args: Args) => Augmented<T, K, Args> }
function addMethod<
T extends Ctor<any>,
K extends string,
Args extends any[]
> (ctor: T, k: K, method: (this: InstanceType<T>, ...args: Args) => void): Ctor<Augmented<InstanceType<T>, K, Args>, CtorParameters<T>> {
ctor.prototype[k] = function (...args: any[]) {
method.apply(this, args)
return this
}
return ctor
}
class Foo {
constructor(public foo: number) {}
}
const Bar = addMethod(Foo, 'inc', function (delta: number) {
this.foo += delta
})
const bar = new Bar(1)
bar.inc(2)
console.log(bar.foo) // 3
bar.inc(3).inc(4)
console.log(bar.foo) // 10
However, if addMethod is called multiple times subsequently, the instance of resulting constructor is somehow compromised. Added methods can be fully chained only if they were called in certain order.
const Baz = addMethod(Bar, 'mult', function (factor: number) {
this.foo *= factor
})
const baz = new Baz(2)
baz.mult(3).inc(4)
console.log(baz.foo) // 10, works
baz.inc(3).mult(4) // Property 'mult' does not exist on type 'Augmented<Foo, "inc", [number]>'.
This is why I posted the original question. I realized that using a recursive type alias to express the augmented type does not works since the return type of methods that are added earlier does not include the methods that are added later. Then I thought declaring the return type as this would help. But this is only supported inside class or interface. Hence the question.
However, I also realized that addMethod does not need to be called multiple times as long as I can provide the methods in one call.
type Augmented<T, Methods extends Record<string, (...args: any[]) => void>> =
T & { [k in keyof Methods]: (...args: Parameters<Methods[k]>) => Augmented<T, Methods> }
function addMethod<
T extends Ctor<any>,
Methods extends Record<string, (...args: any[]) => void>
> (ctor: T, methods: Methods & ThisType<InstanceType<T>>): Ctor<Augmented<InstanceType<T>, Methods>> {
const keys = Object.keys(methods) as (keyof Methods)[]
keys.forEach(k => {
ctor.prototype[k] = function (...args: any[]) {
methods[k].apply(this, args)
return this
}
})
return ctor
}
const Baz = addMethod(Foo, {
inc: function (delta: number) {
this.foo += delta
},
mult: function (factor: number) {
this.foo *= factor
}
})
const baz = new Baz(2)
baz.mult(3).inc(4)
console.log(baz.foo) // 10, works
baz.foo = 2
baz.inc(3).mult(4)
console.log(baz.foo) // 20, works

IOWA CITY, Iowa — Three members of the University of Iowa field hockey team — Natalie Cafone, Dani Hemeon, and Stephanie Norlander — have been named Longstreth/National Field Hockey Coaches Association (NFHCA) West Region All-Americans, the organization announced Tuesday. Cafone and Hemeon were named to the first team, while Norlander was selected to the second team.
Cafone led the way for an Iowa offense that ranked first in the Big Ten in goals scored with 69. Cafone posted a team-high 52 points, including 22 goals. Cafone ranked first nationally with 2.48 points per game and third with 1.03 goals per game. The Fairfield, N.J., native started all 21 games this season and ranked first in the Big Ten in points and goals. Cafone was named to the All-Big Ten first team and the All-Big Ten Tournament team.
"Natalie was a consistent and explosive performer the entire season," said head coach Tracey Griesbaum. "She put points on the board."
Hemeon finished second on the team in scoring for the Hawkeyes, recording 30 points and 13 goals. She won Big Ten Offensive Player of the Week on Oct. 15 after recording a hat trick against Indiana on Oct. 11. Hemeon was named to the All-Big Ten first team, as well as the All-Big Ten Tournament team.
"Dani did a great job of making plays in the midfield," said Griesbaum. "Her involvement on set pieces was crucial."
Norlander finished third on the team in scoring this season with 19 points and nine goals. The North Vancouver, Canada native, earned Big Ten Freshman of the week honors twice (Sept. 17, Oct. 15). Norlander was named Big Ten Freshman of the Year.
"Steph had a solid freshman year," said Griesbaum. "We look forward to all three of them returning next year."
Fifty-two Hawkeyes have received regional All-America honors under Griesbaum.
The 2013 Longstreth / NFHCA Division I All-American Teams will be announced on December 2nd.

Q: Showing and Hiding elements with CSS is not working on Mobiles I am working with this page http://lifecrypter.io/ and I am using CSS to hide and show elements according to device screen resolution.
Code here:
@media only screen and (max-width: 2000px) {
.one{display:block !important; }
.two{display:none !important;}
.three{display:none !important;}
}
@media only screen and (max-width: 920px) {
.one{display:none !important;}
.two{display:block !important;}
.three{display:none !important;}
}
@media only screen and (max-width: 479px) {
.one{display:none !important;}
.two{display:none !important;}
.three{display:block !important;}
}
I tested de site with Responsinator and aparently it was working fine but then I tested de site with a cellphone and:
The hide and show element properties were not working. I tested with several phones and the result were the same.
Doing several test I found this:
[http://lifecrypter.io/] close the website inside a frameset tag
Testing on mobile device the original site link in S3
Now I can see the hide and show properties are working fine.
I tried to modify the meta tags of the page but
The meta tags show before are the only ones I can modify
There is any way to fix this?
A: Try adding a viewport meta tag.
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0">
Possible duplicate on this question. @media query not working in mobile. Works fine in Chrome
. Hope it Helps!

Together with Alexander Rehn and Greutmann-Bolzern Design Studio, swissnex San Francisco brings the stunning zip tie installation The Third Space to the Burning Man festival deep in the Black Rock desert of Nevada.
The Third Space (or Der Dritte Raum in German) is a triangular spider web of 250,000 zip ties clutched over a wooden skeleton. Enter and discover a lounge including lit seating balls and hanging cocoons that invite visitors to lie down and relax and take in the futuristic environment around them. The wind blowing through the zip ties is the only sound and carries all cares away. The material offers an astoundingly sensuous quality and great flexibility, so that the visitor is dipped into an abstract landscape. The Third Space is a place to relax and to come home to surroundings that are otherworldly and shaped by its own lighted beauty.
The idea for The Third Space came out of a course in Interior Architecture taught by Swiss designers Carmen and Urs Greutmann-Bolzern at the Academy of Fine Arts Munich. The project explores mesh and pattern and deals with sociological issues such as profiling, community, and privacy as translated into different spatial situations. It was further developed by Greutmann-Bolzern student and current assistant, Alexander Rehn, and built by 52 other students working for 16,870 hours with their own hands.
swissnex San Francisco showed the Greutman-Bolzern exhibition Bubble Ballet in December 2011 and shortly thereafter began discussions to bring The Third Space to Burning Man. After showcases in Munich Paninotheka, Germany, Designer Saturday in Langenthal, Switzerland, and Luminaire Lab Design at Design Miami, The Third Space travels to Burning Man. With the help of swissnex, Pro Helvetia, the Swiss Arts Council, and the designers in Germany and Switzerland, an application was submitted to Burning Man in early 2012 and the project selected and supported as an official 2012 Honorarium Art Installation.
Carmen Greutmann–Bolzern and Urs Greutmann opened their practice, Design Studio Greutmann Bolzern, in 1984 in Zurich, Switzerland. Since 2003, Carmen and Urs have taught at the Akademie der Bildenden Künste in Munich, Germany. During a course they were teaching, student Alexander Rehn built a hanging zip tie cocoon and The Third Space was born. After working for Greutmann-Bolzern from 2010 to 2012 in Zurich, Alexander is now their assistant at the Academy of Arts in Munich and runs his own design studio. He travels to Burning Man with fellow designers Bianca Keck und Alexander Deubl.
swissnex San Francisco staff Sophie Lamparter and Liliane Ackle are coordinating the project from the Bay Area.
Burning Man is a unique festival held annually in the Black Rock Desert in northern Nevada in the western United States. Participants describe the event as an experiment in community, art, radical self-expression, and radical self-reliance. No money changes hands at the festival, where attendees organize themselves entirely. In 2011, more than 50,000 people attended Burning Man. The festival is named for the ritual burning of a large wooden effigy on Saturday evening of the weeklong event. Burning Man began in 1986 when founder Larry Harvey burned a nine-foot-tall wooden man on the summer solstice at Baker Beach in San Francisco. Since then, the festival has grown every year and draws the attention of artists and media from all over the world. | {

More light is shed in the Friends Blood Taking Unit
The Friends have extended their support of the Friends Blood Taking Unit with the donation of a vein viewer.
The viewer helps the phlebotomists detect difficult to locate veins in patients who have small veins for a variety of clinical reasons. The viewer uses Infrared light which illuminates the blood in the veins as shown in the photograph.
This enables the phlebotomists to take samples from these patients more quickly and so with less stress for all concerned. In some cases in the past a number of patients have had to be referred to the hospital in Coventry. The Unit at St Cross is the first one in the Coventry and Warwickshire Pathology Network to use this equipment and the other units are hoping to follow their lead in due course.
At the UHCW NHS Trust AGM, which was held in Out Patients at St Cross there was further praise and thanks for the teamwork that created the Friends Blood Taking Unit from both Andy Hardy, CEO of the Trust and Neil Anderson, Director of Pathology Services. Neil gave a well received presentation at the AGM and made special mention of the support from the Friends of St Cross and the leadership and drive of Juliet Starkey, the Group Manager at St Cross, and Michelle Giles, the Senior Phlebotomist, whose vision and passion for the new unit was key to achieving the success of the project together with support from the Trust Executive and Estates department as well as the rest of the Pathology Network.
Neil was delighted to report that the Trust is now delivering a better service to patients, a better environment for patients and staff with more motivated staff. He emphasised that waiting times have improved – patients are bled within 30mins. The car park is now up and running which is a massive plus for all patients! The morale of the staff has improved significantly.
The team are now looking forward to a number of further improvements including late night opening, Saturday morning Out Patient service, wards phlebotomy service on a Sunday, dedicated appointments for children and an appointments system for patients which aim to achieve 15 mins waiting times for all patients.

Khôrada's emergence has been quite significantly hyped, the initial press release talked a big game which meant one of two things — shameless promotion capitalizing on the glory of the past [Khôrada features Agalloch's ex-members] or a sincere gesture, fortunately, the latter was the case.
"Salt" is an expansive, emotive and complex journey through the experience of its members. The music would be best described as 'post-rock/metal', as much as it's a label that I dislike using (due to its ambiguity) it's the best fit. Through its near hour runtime, "Salt" touches upon numerous genres from classic rock, folk, and shoegaze through to black metal. Parts of "Salt" bring to mind luminaries like Swans, Virus, and Fleurety, whilst still managing to develop their own sound.
The album's biggest accomplishment is its ability to be cohesive; which sounds like no great feat, however, when the number of different styles, variety of instruments and tonal changes the instruments have, it's truly impressive. The glue that holds it all together is Aaron Gregory's voice, whilst not forefront in the mix, his multifaceted approach; ever changing yet constant, pulls the rest of the elements together superbly, at times morose wails of anguish to formidable aggressive barks, it is the perfect unifier for the band.
"Salt" shows what musicians can do with experience and inhibition, the concepts it harbors displays the band whose members are able to run with any musical ideas they wish, unabashed and free from the constraints of a defined template. Khôrada have put themselves in the perfect position for their next release already as well, their lack of dedication to one particular style leaves them wide open with options, it's impossible to guess what their next release will sound like, and that can only be a good thing.
"Salt" came out on July 20 via Prophecy Productions. Order the album here. | {

Q: Retrieving username and password from Dropbox file I have a login tool which grabs the username and password from a file in my dropbox account.
Dim prequest As HttpWebRequest = HttpWebRequest.Create("http://dl.dropbox.com/s/jb4m5udkt96a43z/premuim.txt")
Dim presponse As HttpWebResponse = prequest.GetResponse()
Dim psr As IO.StreamReader = New IO.StreamReader(presponse.GetResponseStream())
Dim premium As String = psr.ReadToEnd()
That's the code I am using, it downloads the file and gives me the text inside. So I used this about half a year ago and it worked fine, now I am trying to use it but it doesn't work anymore.

Q: Lagrange optimization of reciprocals Suppose we want to find the $x_i$ such that $$\sum_{i=1}^p\frac{1}{1+x_i}$$
has an extreme value, such that the $x_i$ are all non-negative, and $\sum_{i=1}^n x_i=p$.
This should be doable with lagrange multipliers, but how? The inequality is tricky, so I considered replacing the $x_i$ with $x_i^2$. However, each entry of the gradient gives you $(1+x_i^2)^{-2}2x_i=\lambda 2x_i$, so I'm not quite sure how to proceed. It seems obvious that you get a min when all the $x_i$ are 1, but what about the maximum?
Edit: It was noted that I need to check the boundary points for the maximum. Is there a systematic technique to do this? I suspect that the max will be attained when all but one of the $x_i$ is zero, but how do you start when the boundary contains so many points?
A: Let
$$ L = \sum_{i=1}^n \frac{1}{1+x_i} - \lambda \left( \sum_{i=1}^n x_i -p \right). $$
Then
$$ \frac{\partial L}{\partial x_j} = \frac{-1}{(1+x_j)^2}-\lambda, $$
and so we discover that if the gradient of $L$ is zero (required for an internal extremum), all of the $x_j$ are equal, and in particular, equal to $p/n$, by the constraint. In this case, the value of $L$ is
$$ \frac{n}{1+p/n} = \frac{n^2}{n+p} = \frac{n(n+p)-np-p^2+p^2}{n+p} = n-p + \frac{p^2}{n+p} $$.
What if we don't have this case? Then the extremum occurs on the boundary, i.e. when one of the $x_i$ at least is zero. By symmetry we can assume $x_n=0$, and $L$ becomes
$$ L\mid_{x_n=0} = 1 + \sum_{i=1}^{n-1} \frac{1}{1+x_i} - \lambda \left( \sum_{i=1}^{n-1} x_i - p \right). $$
Ah, but this is exactly the same problem as we solved before, but with $n$ replaced by $n-1$. Hence the extremum is at $x_i=p/(n-1)$, and so the value is
$$ 1+ \frac{(n-1)^2}{n-1+p} = \frac{n-1+p-(n-1)+n(n-1)}{n-1+p} = n-p+\frac{p^2}{n-1+p}. $$
Similarly, if $k$ of the $x_i$ are zero, we find
$$ k+\frac{(n-k)^2}{n-k+p} = k+n-k-p + \frac{p^2}{n-k+p} = n-p + \frac{p^2}{n-k+p}, $$
which obviously increases as $k$ increases. Hence the global maximum is when $k=n-1$, with value $n-1+\frac{1}{1+p}$, whereas the global minimum is when all the $x_i$ are $p/n$ (can check this is a minimum using the Hessian), with value $\frac{n}{1+p/n}$.

In the previous blog post, we talked about how to measure the success of an asset performance monitoring solution. With the buzz of AI and machine learning out there, we at Plutoshift hear questions about what exactly machine learning analytics can actually do. The quick answer is a lot, but the longer and more important answers will be considered here in blog post #2 of this series. What factors should you consider when you're implementing advanced analytics for industrial processes?
1. What are the specific business goals that AI can solve?
This may sound obvious, but not identifying a key business pain point to solve is frequently the reason pilots do not progress. Even when they appear successful, they will stall at some point. Exploring new technologies and how to improve your business is the sign of a vibrant company.
Well, I guess it's good to know if I needed to know it.
2. What improvement in process will be attained?
When pilots succeed but don't progress, it's because the results were not very exciting. This doesn't mean that the results must be a slam dunk. In fact, some of the most exciting results are when performance improvements weren't obtained but a clear reason is determined as to why it didn't happen. Identifying where to invest with reasonable certainty of improved results is an outstanding thing to learn.
Typically, new technology investigations have a champion at the company. Since you're reading this article, perhaps that's you! Your vision is vital to a successful enterprise.
The challenge is to find a project with which everyone is comfortable. The idea of getting some kind of pilot just to get an evaluation started seems reasonable. Yet, in these situations, buy-in is hard to come by. Pilots take up people's time and goodwill runs short. You as the champion get tired of carrying the project alone. When a pilot is complete most of us are happy to be done with it. We are not all that excited to dive back in unless there is something to really entice us.
Call your shots! If you don't, it really doesn't matter whether you make it or not.
3. What access to data do you have to support the considered project?
This is specifically an AI project concern. As far as data is concerned, there are three key aspects that form the backbone of an AI project — quantity, quality, and access. AI projects use historical data to train algorithms that can predict future outcomes.
More data is always better. It may not all be used, but data scientists will want to tease out any correlations and look for causal effects. Lack of data certainly makes it challenging, but it does not mean that the project goals cannot be met.
Gaps in data can be overcome. Lacking one or more sensor inputs may be overcome. This is the type of initial investigation a data scientist team can do for you. More on this in blog #3 of this series.
4. Do you have a combination of data scientists and subject matter experts for the project proposed?
I spoke to the role of data scientists in this process. Equally important is the strong collaboration between data scientists and the SME who understands the process to be optimized. Without this, the project will likely not be successful.
This is also important because it is rare. Several solutions are available that have good AI expertise and others that have subject matter expertise. These types of projects, at least for the next couple of years, will require both of these. Both should be equally held responsible for the successful outcome.
5. How to assess a potential solution provider?
After you've checked all the points above, there's still the need to evaluate the plan and execute the project. Is it to find a pure analytics company when you have your own subject matter expertise? Relying on a consulting engineering firm to organize the project? Getting a one-stop vendor to do the whole thing? All of these are viable options.
The key is to know that the analysis can be done. This is not guaranteed because historical data is crucial. Also, access to data is required in near real-time.
This means that the data analysis should at least be completed and vetted initially. Can your team or your provider tell you within certain limits that this analysis will yield prescriptive recommendations that will meet the goals of the project?
However, you combine the resources to execute this project. This initial analysis should have little to no cost. You can call it the Phase Zero of data analysis. If a sizable payment must be made before any data analysis occurs, it would mean that you're funding the learning curve for whomever required the purchase order. | {

Timmins student aims for a career in film
By Denis Puska
Tuesday, Jan. 3rd, 2023
(geralt/pixabay.com)
A first-year film and media studies student at York University from Timmins already has her first starring role on her résumé.
Talia Jodouin plays Kai in "The Swimmer", which was recently at the Toronto Short Film Festival and is heading out on the short festival circuit.
"She's just basically a competitive swimmer who's going through a really tough time in her life," she says of Kai. "The short film is basically about her conscience getting her back on her feet and in the right direction."
We have a link to the film right here.
Jodouin says while being a fulltime professional actor is part of her dream, she just loves the experience of a film set.
"I would love to direct my own work or just be part of the process of making it," she remarks. "It doesn't matter what role I play in making a movie, I just love the experience of being on a set. I love doing it all."
Jodouin is already auditioning for her next project, whatever it turns to be. | {

Post Hardcore Pop: Winds & Walls – "Pennies"
Phil King November 29, 2015 Hear No Comments
Processed with VSCOcam with m2 preset
Winds & Walls
Still Lions
WINDS & WALLS is an alternative Post-hardcore indie-rock band from Queens, New York and New Jersey. Created in 2010 by brother-sister duo, Rosie Pacla (Vocalist) & Joey Pacla (Lead Guitarist), the band now also includes Quentin Carver (Rhythm Guitarist), Larry Turco (Drummer), & Andrew Reyes (Bass). Winds & Walls, named after a song Rosie has composed, really sound like no one else out there. The only comparisons (and they are pale ones at that) I can think of is either a heavier, guitar-driven, less poppy Go Go's, or Silversun Pickups with a female vocalist. I told you; it's tough to nail down their sound. All I can say, it is a tremendous, addictive sound. I love it. I am now an official Winds & Walls addict.

Александр Николаевич Аммосов (3 октября 1823, Санкт-Петербург, Российская империя — 5 сентября 1866) — русский поэт, автор романсов, офицер, сын генерал-майора Н. А. Аммосова.
Биография
А. Н. Аммосов родился в Петербурге в семье военного инженера и изобретателя Николая Александровича Аммосова в 1823 году. Получив в раннем возрасте домашнее образование, был зачислен в Главное немецкое училище в 1830 году. Еще в школе Александр Аммосов начал сочинять стихи, и это увлечение не оставляет его и на военной службе. После окончания Петербургского университета в 1845 году он поступает юнкером в Люблинский Егерский полк, сражавшийся тогда с повстанцами Шамиля на Кавказе.
Вместе с полком А. Н. Аммосов принимает участие в подавлении Венгерского восстания (1848–1849) и в Крымской войне (1853–1855). Находясь в действующей армии сначала на Дунае, а потом в Севастополе, А. Н. Аммосов участвует в боях и получает тяжёлое ранение, но не оставляет армию. Во время Кавказских походов 1859–1863 годов А. Н. Аммосов служит под командой К. К. Данзаса — бывшего секунданта А. С. Пушкина, сосланного на Кавказ «за недонесение» о дуэли. От К. К. Данзаса он узнаёт подробности этой дуэли, легшие впоследствии в основу его книги «Последние дни жизни и кончина А. С. Пушкина». В годы Польского восстания 1863 года А. Н. Аммосов находился в составе русской армии в Польше. В последние годы жизни состоял управляющим Палатой государственных имуществ Волынской губернии.
Скончался в возрасте 42 лет, как сообщалось в газетах того времени «от ран, полученных при защите Отечества». Место его захоронения неизвестно.
Дочь Аммосова ― Ольга Александровна Боровитинова (1862―1910; в первом браке Елшина или Иолшина; псевдонимом Белозор), в 1881―1882 гг. актриса тифлисской труппы, впоследствии гражданская жена А. И. Пальма, печатала в «Неделе» (1884), «Живописном обозрении» (1886), «Новом времени» (1892) и других петербургских изданиях бытовые зарисовки и рассказы для детей. Автор книг «Были и былинки» (1903), «Рассказы бабушки-всезнаюшки малым детям» (1903) и пьесы «Саранча»
Творчество
Штабс-капитан, награждённый золотым оружием «За храбрость», А. Н. Аммосов был неугомонным весельчаком, несмотря на последствия тяжёлых ранений, полученных им на военной службе. Его экспромты и эпиграммы на известных петербургских и российских деятелей имели широкое хождение.
Ему приписывают такой анекдот, который и через 150 лет звучит современно:
Девица А. никак не могла понять, как мужчины могут так много курить табаку.
— Надо быть сумасшедшим, чтоб курить табак, — говорила она, — это сокращает жизнь: страстные курильщики обыкновенно умирают скорее других.
— Вот новость! — сказала девица Б. — Мой отец курит с 15 лет, а ему теперь уже 72 года.
— Так что ж! — воскликнула девица А. — Если б он не курил, ему б, верно, было теперь 80.
Сохранилось немало стихотворений — как опубликованных, так и неизданных, — которые приписываются его перу. На его стихи писали романсы М. П. Мусоргский, К. Н. Лядов и другие композиторы того времени. В 50-х годах XIX века несколько его стихотворений появились в газете «Русский инвалид» и в сатирическом приложении к «Современнику» — «Свисток».
Стихи Аммосова в большинстве случаев отражают его характер. Например, стихотворение «Серенада», с большим количеством итальянских слов, вполне соответствует духу поэта-весельчака.
В 1861–1866 годах А. Н. Аммосов много печатался в юмористическом издании «Развлечения» (СПб). Имеются сведения, что он также принимал участие в творчестве Козьмы Пруткова, ему, в частности, принадлежит басня «Пастух, молоко и читатель», напечатанная в сборнике.
Наибольшую популярность ему принес незамысловатый романс «Элегия», более известный как народная песня «Хасбулат удалой». Слова «Элегии» (сюжетно близкие фольклорным балладам) впервые были опубликованы в газете «Русский инвалид» 16 ноября 1858 года. После того как О.X. Агренева-Славянская написала на эти слова музыку, романс стал очень популярен среди русской военной молодежи.
Большой популярностью пользовался также романс А. Н. Аммосова «Колокольчик» на музыку К. Н. Лядова (1871).
В 60-е годы А. Н. Аммосов написал и издал книгу «Последние дни жизни и кончина А. С. Пушкина. Со слов бывшего его лицейского товарища и секунданта К. К. Данзаса» (СПб., 1866), в которой сообщались некоторые подробности роковой дуэли А. С. Пушкина.

Elections are a week from Tuesday. They can't come soon enough, in my opinion. I'm tired of the signs, the television ads, and the vilification of one side by another. Being a Democrat in a Republican stronghold can be disheartening sometimes. I do hope that the pundits are correct about growing support for Democrats nationwide, but I fear it won't help us locally. Even our local rag, the Greenville News, has endorsed a straight Republican ticket.
Here's a case in point. William I. Griffith is running against Bob Inglis to be Representative of the 4th Congressional District. Griffith is an engineer who has worked at Michelin, and would support greater funding for basic research. Two of our close friends are working with his campaign. This afternoon a "Riff for Griff" was being held at the Griffeth campaign headquarters in the Brushy Creek community. I rode by there an hour after the shendig started, and there was almost nobody there. A band was playing. I got out of the car and wandered over, but no one said anything to me, encouraged me to pick up literature, or anything. I stood awkwardly for a few minutes, then left. This thing was supposed to to last until 8:00 PM. I hope for Griff's sake that things pick up.
Speaking of the 4th District, there are other candidates in the running. You know, I might be interested in a third party, but right now they only seem to attract whackos. Take, for example the Libertarian candidate, "Dr." John Cobin. I first became aware of Cobin when he started his own radio station last year called the "Tyranny Response Network." The station is now defunct, but it consisted of repeated messages from Cobin which espoused everything from white supremacy to making sure everyone is armed for such a time as when the government attempts to take the guns away.
Does he really mean that if we vote for him, we will have no high gas prices?? I didn't know that a single Congressman had that much power. Gee. | {

The Adventures of Burt Tee and Quan Lapose
On February 12, 2019 February 12, 2019 By PopeswamiLeave a comment
"There's danger on the edge of town
Ride the King's Highway, baby
Weird scenes inside the gold mine
Ride the highway west, baby
Ride the snake, ride the snake
To the lake, the ancient lake, baby
The snake, he's long, seven miles
He's old and his skin is cold…"
Jim Morrison, from The Doors song, "The End", 1966, released 1967
Adventures are typically exciting experiences. Sometimes they involve risk. Sometimes there is danger lurking for those living on the edge. There were so many layers of meaning in The Doors song, "The End," that represent adventure: the excitement of taboo sex, of murder, and the exhilarating freedom experienced from defying the norms of a civil society; norms that are in place to guarantee the survival of a species. But Morrison questioned everything. He pushed the envelope to the point that it became unrecognizable as an envelope; merely a tattered piece of paper. And in the end, his life became that tattered piece of paper. For Morrison, adventure became misadventure, providing him a seat at the table of the 27 Club.
College Freshman Adventures
Not all adventures are extreme. When I entered my freshman year of college, my dormitory roommate, John, was a member of my high school graduating class. We were high school buddies and agreed to room together. John was a bit socially awkward (probably I was as well, but I didn't see myself that way). He did not do drugs, nor alcohol but he was inclined to some peculiarities such as buying a medium-sized jar of maraschino cherries and consuming them in one sitting. I recall that after doing so he went into an episode of nearly convulsive laughter to the point that the dorm floor counselor stopped by and asked me if John was tripping. I said "no" as I pointed to the empty cherry jar, at which the counselor just shook his head and left, while the intensity of John's laughing orgy took an exponential upturn.
Back in 1971 there were no co-ed dormitories at my university. Our eighth-floor dorm room was surrounded by a variety of colorful individuals. There were two other normal guys, Rich and Ron, who came from a high school in New Kensington, Pennsylvania. They were a bit on the reserved side; clean-cut kids who were serious about their studies. We became good friends. Then further up the hall was another freshman, Lorenzo, who was a philosophical Brainiac and the floor cynic. Lorenzo had an acerbic wit. He verbally pulled no punches. We got along great. Directly across the hall from me was Joe from Erie, Pennsylvania. Joe was quite a character. He had two high school friends who were in a different dormitory on the other side of campus who spent a lot of time on our floor. So, we hung out together a lot. I remember Joe admiring my Gibson SG and often asking to play it. Together we all did some innocent but crazy pranks, like dropping a water balloon down the stairwell from the eighth floor to the basement when someone came through the basement door. We also had a group participation on each floor in bouncing super balls down that stairwell. Right next door to my room were Woody and Wayne, sophomores who returned to school with the plan to stay high on acid the entire year. One time when they were tripping the rest of us had squirt guns and freaked them out. Thinking they were real guns, Woody and Wayne stayed in the bathroom shower stalls and refused to come out for hours. Innocent stuff.
I hung out with Woody and Wayne because they had some terrific music albums – everything from Soft Machine and Van Morrison, to Luciano Berio and Karlheinz Stockhausen. We got high together. The difference was that their adventure was to drop out and mine was to graduate, so I was a bit more balanced than they were in my use of interesting chemicals and entheogens. Joe and his Erie buddies, Dennis and Chuck also partied with us but not as frequently. I remember that Lorenzo took huge amounts of acid at a time. A year later I remember that while his sharp and biting comments continued to flow from his mouth on a constant basis, he no longer had the ability to concentrate, and could no longer grasp complex ideas, whereas in the prior year we had some excellent discussions regarding the existential philosophers we both loved. The contrast was startling to me and an assurance that I was on a better path by being more balanced in my adventures. Of course, hanging out with Jesus freaks who were there the moment after I had had a very bad trip helped to steer me away from self-destruction. Joe's roommate was a senior who invited me to The House of Light, which was a refuge on the outskirts of town for wayward acid heads and heroin addicts who had found Jesus. But that is a topic for another blog post.
I am getting away from the main idea for the title of this post. When I returned to my dorm room after class one day, I found a magazine photo cut-out of two refugee children taped to my door. Joe had labeled one as Burt Tee, and the other as Quan Lapose. Burt's mouth had a hole punched through where Joe had placed a lit cigarette. Now, he must have timed this for when I was expected back from class, because the cigarette was not burnt down very far. Somehow, I became associated with the name Burt Tee while my roommate was Quan Lapose. Those names stuck. But let it be known that I did not smoke tobacco. Since my parents had been chain smokers until they quit when I was 11 years old, I detested the smell of cigarette smoke.
By the end of my freshman year, Joe's roommate had graduated, Joe and his Erie entourage never returned for the sophomore year. My roommate, John quit school and married his high school sweetheart. Woody and Wayne dropped out, but Wayne returned two years later and was much more serious about his education. Mid sophomore year Lorenzo dropped out. But Rich and Ron continued and graduated. To them I continued to be Burt Tee.
Later, I would take up various aliases in radio or writing personalities: Ray Cathode, Harry Face, I.M. Intoxicated, and Popeswami to name a few.
My Recent Adventure
Over the past two years I have dropped 50 pounds but gained about ten pounds back in the past six months. My work involves travel throughout the US and 2018 seemed to have me out more than in past years. This left me with few days of free time to blogpost, and fewer days to attend local music performances. Anyone following my posts will see that there has been a great decrease in describing local music events.
The weekend before Thanksgiving, I was supposed to get home late Friday night from Tallahassee via Miami. Well, once my flight arrived in Miami mechanical problems with my connecting flight necessitated a stay in Miami until Saturday morning, with only a couple hours sleep before the morning flight. When I arrived home, I felt "fluttery" in my chest. I thought it was due to the combination of the excessive amount of caffeine I had consumed the past few days, dehydration, and lack of sleep. But it did not let up. All through Thanksgiving week I just felt weird. The week following, I was on the road again. Then the next week, in Chicago, it was bitter cold, and my quarter mile walk from the hotel to my worksite caused my chest to hurt. Again, I assumed it was the cold air irritating my lungs. The next week I was in Kentucky and still the flutters in my chest continued.
When I got home from my Kentucky trip that Friday night, I was feeling very strange. I called the nurse on call through my medical plan and she told me to immediately go to the emergency room. The next morning, after several irregular EKGs and foreboding blood work results, they scheduled me for a stress test by injection. Later that day they told me I had had a heart attack some time ago and they prepared me for angioplasty the next morning. They thought they would be putting one or two stents in arteries to the left side of my heart. But once they were in and cleaned-out the blockage, no stents were necessary. According to the cardiologist my heart is strong with no significant damage. While undergoing the angio, my mind faded out until they were done, but I do remember the pain as they pushed further into my arm with the line. Apparently, I was conscious enough to follow instructions, but I am mostly amnesic regarding this experience. It left me with a very painful arm where nerve endings were irritated, and even though the procedure was done a week before Christmas, I still have some pain in my elbow now and then.
I was off the road the month of January and will not return to travelling until February 18. With one break the week of March 4, I will then be out every week for the remainder of March, all the way through mid-June. While home, recovering from my stay in the hospital I finished my last blog post, and in January we went to three music events. Two of these events were to see Robin Henkel with Horns, and the other was to see the Now Time Jazz Quartet, featuring Alicia Previn on violin. Venues were Lestat's West, Proud Mary's, and Tio Leo's.
This adventure has taught me to appreciate the here and now, and the people and things that I love. I love live music – the hear and now. I have some wonderful friends. I love good food a bit too much. That is where moderation comes into the picture. That will be the most difficult transition to make – eating healthy. Well, maybe exercise is going to be a tough one, too.
Between Thanksgiving and my trip to the hospital we obtained a shelter dog. On December 8, when she became a part of our life, she was 11 months old. A very cute and lovable chiweenie (that's a cross between a chihuahua and a dachshund). She can be quite mischievous and playful. The day the foster family brought her to our home, she bonded with me immediately. Nancy named her Gracie. Her name had been Victoria, so I suggested we have her proper name as Gracie Victoria. She looks like she could be part fox, with her long legs and tail. The mix must have been with a long-haired dachshund. She is much more weenie than chi. A long body but big eyes like a chihuahua. She is very fearful of new experiences. We are taking her to dog (owner) training, and much of my free time is spent interacting with Gracie. We need to get her out and about more so that she can get more used to traveling in a car and seeing people and other dogs in public places. She has been great therapy for me getting over my big adventure.
My first outing was on January 13 to see Robin Henkel with Horns at Lestat's West. Jodie Hill was on string and electric bass, Troy Jennings on baritone sax, Steve Ebner on trumpet, Kevin Koch on drums, Michael Yates on congas, and Mark Lessman on tenor sax. The selections were largely from the mid-40s through 60s cool and cool bop jazz. These were songs I've heard Robin and his group do on many occasions but there is always something a little different and delightful each time I hear them. Also, Robin has a story to tell about most of the songs played. Slim Gaillard and Mose Allison were two of the great artists covered that night.

A few weeks later, on January 26, Robin was appearing with his horns at Proud Mary's. We wanted to go to dinner, so why not hear some music as well? And the taste of New Orleans cuisine sounded good. This evening instead of Troy Jennings we had David Castel de Oro on sax and clarinet, along with Jodie Hill on bass, Steve Ebner on trumpet, and Toby Ahrens on drums. Again, fine playing, including many of the same songs heard at Lestat's and one with a bit of Sonny Rollins rolled-in. Always great fun.

January 31, we headed to Tio Leo's for some Mexican food and to hear a jazz group we had not heard before. The Now Time Jazz Quartet surprised me with their 70s easy jazz, with a bit of funky improvisation added in for good measure. The band features Adam Wolff on keyboard, Michael Oletta on bass, Jeff Dalrymple on drums and Alicia Previn on violin. I've seen Alicia perform with Mundell Lowe as well as Bart Mendoza's band and was surprised to see her yet again in another band with an all together different style. Accessible, popular tunes with enough improvisation to keep them interesting, as well as some self-penned numbers. Another fun evening.

This past Thursday we had intended to see The Swing Thing featuring Liz Grace and Jon Garner at the Riviera Supper Club but a problem in the gas line at the restaurant caused it to be closed. The Friday prior we had wanted to see Dave Humphries, Mike Alvarez and Wolfgang Grasekamp at the Downtown Café in El Cajon but it was pouring down rain and the closest parking space was several blocks away, so after circling the block three times I decided to go home.
On February 10 we went to Urban Solace for the bluegrass brunch where Plow was performing. It was a great show as usual with Chris Clarke on mandolin, Jason Weiss on banjo, Doug Walker on string bass, Dane Terry on harmonica, Alex Watts on guitar and Mark Markowitz on snare drum. Vocals by Chris, Dane, and Jason. Good harmonies and great picking from this accomplished group of musicians, exposing San Diego patrons to historic bluegrass and old-time sounds.

I have acquired some nice vinyl lately. One is the 1973 release by Robb Kunkel titled "Abyss". This album was one that I discovered via the former Lysergia website (note that through the Wayback Machine website you can still find this amazing site with a treasure trove of obscure artists who should have been better recognized in their time). I was very pleased that someone took the time to re-release this LP in 180-gram virgin vinyl. The label is Future Days Recordings/Tumbleweed Records, Inc. It is also available as a digital download in lossless FLAC. The vinyl is in sky blue with clouds, and the cover is the original gatefold, and includes some history about the late Robb Kunkel and the original label, Tumbleweed Records. Only 500 copies were originally pressed, and the album received no promotion because the label was falling apart at the time. Beautiful melodies, lyrics of a pensive quasi-spiritual nature, a West Coast vibe, sounds of the ocean waves and seagulls as well as jackhammers (not in the same song), a country style ditty thrown in for good measure – everything about this album screams 1973 at the crossroads of new age and Southern California easy peaceful feeling. I love this album. And Kunkel was a fine guitarist and singer. The studio musicians backing him were top rate. Crazy thing, the repress from the original master tapes is also in a limited release of 500. But at least the digital download is limitless, provided it continues to be available. Highly recommended here at the Popeswami ashram.
The other vinyl arriving recently are 45 rpms. The one is something I thought would never come to pass. It was the rarest non-Residents release on Ralph Records; Schwump – Aphids in the Hall b/w You're a Martian/Home. I had obtained a digital copy many years ago from the artist, but now Psychophon has obtained the original masters and re-released it in three variations. Mine is the red vinyl numbered limited edition, with only 100 released. The original pressing in 1976 was 200, and most went to friends, radio stations, and others in the music industry. An original today averages $700 but I have seen it go for over $1000. Schwump was backed by The Residents on this release and their influence is obvious. But I must say that Schwump was a kindred spirit to The Residents. His real name is Barry Schwam, and he was a DJ at Portland, Oregon radio station KBOO when he discovered The Residents, or should I say they discovered him. My understanding is that an album's worth of material was recorded in 1976 but Barry decided he did not want it released, so the only effort to reach the ears of the public is this 45. What does it sound like? Melodic but slightly off key with strange progressions, slowing and speeding up of rhythms on purpose, raspy creepy singing, pseudo-schizoid-childlike lyrics, untuned piano – very much like early Residents recordings. I am so glad to hear this as it was originally put onto tape.
The remaining vinyl to come my way was a 2014 re-release on Superior Viaduct Records of The Residents' Santa Dog double 45 from 1972. The original was the first release on the Ralph Records label. The music is from the original master tapes, made to sound fresh and crisp. The only drawback is that they did not put the sides in the original order. Sides two and four have been reversed. Also, the label artwork on the 45s themselves is different from the original Ralph Records artwork, but the gatefold cover is identical except for saying it was issued by Superior Viaduct. Again, this was a limited edition, but no fancy vinyl colors – just black. Originals are in the $1000 range while this limited edition often goes for over $100. I did not have to pay that much, but I was lucky. Another 200 pressing limited release, just like the originals. This is probably the most Avant Garde of Residents releases, with many found sounds, clips of old obscure recordings, musique concrete, acid drenched nonsensical lyrics but somehow out of the bubbling chaos comes organized insanity that makes sense. Does that make sense? I don't know. My head hurts.
Well, that's it for now. See you in a few.
The Meaning Of
On October 14, 2018 October 14, 2018 By Popeswami3 Comments
"What's it all about, Alfie? Is it just for the moment we live? What's it all about when you sort it out, Alfie? Are we meant to take more than we give or are we meant to be kind? And if only fools are kind, Alfie, then I guess it is wise to be cruel and if life belongs only to the strong, Alfie, what will you lend on an old golden rule?…"
By Burt Bacharach and Hal David, performed by Dionne Warwick, 1967.
What is this all about? I mean, this blog? Why do I keep doing this? Why does it take so long for me to roll one of these posts out?
The problem with maintaining a blog that lives up to the title "Mapping Happenings" is that you must write about the moment at hand…otherwise that moment is lost; the happenings become stale. For example, I attended one day of the Adams Avenue Street Fair the weekend of September 29 and I wrote down my observations and impressions immediately afterward, but then had to go back on the road for work before I could finish. I had finished the writing, but importing the photos (and hopefully this time videos) became an impossible task for my PC. Technology is advancing to the point that my 2013 PC is now unable to handle the tasks it once handled easily, let alone adding something new. My iPhone videos and photos do not transfer as quickly as they used to, and the PC slows to a near grinding halt. I had to sacrifice posting videos because I could not get them copied to the blog without getting the dreaded BSOD (blue screen of death).
Now I am back from Miami and will be home for two weeks. But it is now two weeks since the street fair. Despite the stale nature of this information I refuse to trash what I had written. Keep in mind I have been attending some wonderful and memorable performances throughout 2018 at various venues such as The Belly Up, Tio Leo's, Riviera Supper Club, Covo La Jolla, and others, but I don't want this read to turn into another book. The nature of my life right now is that I travel about 40-45 weeks of the year, and when I get home there are "home things" that require my attention. My blog is a lower priority as it is a hobby, and not a necessity. But when I can I do post. And here we are. So here is a rundown of the Saturday, September 29 events my wife and I attended.
Adams Avenue Street Fair
With all the craziness in the world I needed to get totally away from it all. Fortunately, we had the 37th annual Adams Avenue Street Fair. This was a great escape for me.
This year the street fair was confined to Normal Heights, with Adams Avenue closed-off only seven blocks for both Saturday and Sunday. In prior years it covered a two-mile stretch from University Heights to Kensington. Now the street fair has fewer stages. Not all the performances were at the one indoor (Lestat's) and five major outdoor stages and the music schedule only listed artists on these stages. So, if it had not been that we knew Dave Humphries and Mike Alvarez, we would not have known they were performing in the DeMille's beer garden.
Nevertheless, there was some amazing music-making happening at this street fair. We only attended performances at four of the seven major stages. Cloning would have been necessary to see any more than we did. We saw eight artists and eight brilliant performances. The only big drawback was the parking. We parked over a mile away after searching for a space for about 20 minutes. This caused us to miss the first half of the set by the first band we wanted to see – Jake Najor & The Moment of Truth.
Jake Najor & the Moment of Truth
Najor is a Grammy nominated drummer who has worked with several nationally known artists, including De La Soul – one of my favorite hip hop groups. The group played a 70s style funky jazz reminiscent of The Crusaders, Headhunters-era Herbie Hancock, and early 70s Herbie Mann (the Push Push LP is a good example). Jake's band consisted of Matt LaBarber groovin' out on electric bass, David Carano on funky guitar (with a style somewhere between Larry Carlton and David Spinoza), Tito Frescas on fantastic keys, and Andy Geib who brilliantly played fluegelhorn, trombone, and flute (not at the same time) and of course Najor, with jaw dropping beats, on drums. We got spoiled from the beginning with this hot, tight, funky band.
Karl and The Hornets
We moved from the Groove Stage over to the Blues Stage to hear Karl and The Hornets. Karl is Karl Cabbage who has performed in other blues bands such as West of Memphis, The Smokin' Knights, Red Lotus Revue and The Holla Pointe. This was straight-ahead greasy blues, heavy on the harp and soulful singing. This was a basic four-piece unit with drums, electric bass, guitar and Karl on harmonica/vocals. Impressive to say the least.
Jonny Wagon & The Tennessee Sons
From there we moved on to the Roots Rock Stage to hear Jonny Wagon & The Tennessee Sons. I was not expecting anything like what we saw. I did not read the bio for this band before seeing them. This was a large band with drums, rhythm guitar, lead guitar, electric bass, keyboard, trumpet, baritone sax, and lead singer Jonny Wagon. Jonny reminded me a lot of Bruce Springsteen in vocal style, and surprisingly I could see comparisons between this band and the E Street Band. I enjoyed watching the trumpeter who sort of danced to the rhythm in a unique manner that I thought was cool. And then another surprise happened when they closed with Paul McCartney's "Maybe I'm Amazed" and the band nearly did the Wings' original recording note-for-note; quite good.
Charlie Chavez y Su Afrotruko
We then headed for food, but on the way, we took in Charlie Chavez y Su Afrotruko at the Groove Stage. This was another larger band with an Afro-Cuban style that reminded me of Mongo Santamaria's early bands; lots of percussion and brass; excellent musicianship. It reminded me that I was going to be heading to Miami in a couple of weeks, but with little time to look for great music like this.
The Fremonts
After lunch at DeMille's we moved back to the Blues Stage to the watch award-winning band, The Fremonts; another basic line-up of drums (Al West), guitar & electric bass (Patrick Skog & Tony Tomlinson interchanging duties), and vocalist "Mighty" Joe Milsap, who played washboard, woodblocks, and a small djembe. There was a deep South – Gulf Coast swampy feel to this band's blues. The band's emphasis is on the lyrics, with straight forward playing and no "look at me do this" moments. At this point we noted many people dancing – more than with the other groups. Perhaps the beer was kicking in, but we also noted that about this time, late afternoon, the kooky and the crazy seemed to become visible both dancing and meandering through the crowd. I love to watch people and had to be mindful to pay attention to the great sounds coming from the stage.
Robin Henkel & Whitney Shay
We stayed at the Blues Stage for the set by Robin Henkel and Whitney Shay. Both individually are San Diego Music Awards winners. Now here they were together, once again, performing some old r&b and delta blues standards from Big Mama Thornton, Elmore James, Sun House, Etta James, and the like. Robin on guitars and vocals; Whitney with shakers and on vocals. Some great fun! Later we learned that Whitney performed with her band, Shay and The Hustle, earlier in the day at The Rabbit Hole, another Adams Avenue venue, that was not posted in the street fair schedule.
Dave Humphries (l) and Mike Alvarez (r)
We broke free for a bit to head back to DeMille's Beer Garden to see Dave Humphries and Mike Alvarez perform some 60s British invasion rock and Humphries-penned songs of a similar style. Dave was on vocals and guitar and Mike was on electric cello and backing vocals. Unfortunately, we got to our destination mid-set, so we only heard less than a handful of songs.
Once Dave's and Mike's set ended, we headed toward the car, but not without stopping at the Casbah Rock Stage to hear The Schizophonics. This is a three-piece, with Pat Beers on guitar and vocals, Lety Beers on drums, and an electric bassist (name unknown to me). Pat is a crazy man on guitar – about 20% Hendrix, 20% Pete Townsend, 10% Jackie Wilson and 50% Iggy Pop. He jumped, twirled, did splits, somersaults, and raced from one side of the stage to the other, and occasionally he got to the mic to let out occasional yelps as well as lyrics…all while still playing guitar. The guitar pickups were at top volume, so his one-handed playing came through clearly. Strings were broken – luckily no necks were broken (neither his nor his guitar's). He wrestled with the mic stand and sometimes the stand won, but he kept going. Lety is a fantastic drummer and she and the bassist kept things moving which only fed fuel to the fire of Pat's guitar pyro techniques. We were exhausted watching him, but I just had to quietly sing along to "Red Planet". Worn from a day in the sun, we did not stay for the second half of their performance and headed to the car which was a great distance away.
We had good intentions of heading to the Riviera Supper Club to hear Three Chord Justice but decided to go home to change first. Well, when we got in the door, we decided we had enough music for the day. Nancy had to volunteer at the blood bank the following day and I had to begin writing what you see here as well as get bills paid and other home-related activities before flying to San Antonio.
A Not-So-Stale Bit of Happening
Casey Hensley & band
Friend and super music supporter, poet, and former music promoter Molly Lynn McClendon had her birthday party on October 6 at Proud Mary's. Performing that evening was Casey Hensley with her band. Casey put her heart into this, as she always does. She is the closest in style to Janis Joplin I have heard out of San Diego. The only thing missing was the Southern Comfort. Her power and vocal range are phenomenal. Her sense of the blues and emotive delivery are delectable. The way she can go from a low growl to a sensitive and sustained high is amazing. She is only in her mid-20s. If she keeps growing as a singer, she will easily become an international star. Casey was complimented with a wonderful backup band featuring Steve Wilcox on flame-throwing guitar. With Mark Campbell on electric bass and Evan Caleb Yearsley on drums holding things together in the rhythm department, Casey blew the roof off the building and Steve burnt it down.

Molly Lynn is known for doing live feeds online from her phone at music events over the past two or three years and here she is doing it again, even at her own birthday party while dancing with Casey who was taking a break while the band stretched out on some heavy blues.
Some great acquisitions have been received this year. I've also been upgrading some of my CD collection that had been purchased prior to 24-bit remastering technology. So now, my Hatfield & The North, Matching Mole, Daevid Allen & Euterpe and other CDs are much clearer and crisper. Box sets arrived recently including The Turtles complete album collection, Small Faces box set with all three Immediate label albums, and Yardbirds 5-CD box set, Glimpses, which includes career-spanning musical selections and several short interviews by Keith Relf, Jim McCarty, Chris Dreja, Jeff Beck, Jimmy Page, and Eric Clapton of this ground-breaking band.
I have also been completing some vinyl holes in my Pittsburgh area collection: Groov-U, The Electrons, Napoleonic Wars, The Time Stoppers, and other rarities. I will have more to say about many of these as time permits but not here.
I am deeply saddened to report the demise of Hardy Fox, aka Chuck Bobuck, of The Residents/Cryptic Corp. Hardy was the musical genius behind The Residents music and performed in their live shows until 2015 when he decided to stay off the road for health reasons and simply compose the music. In 2017 he revealed himself as the group's co-founder and primary composer. He also began releasing solo projects under the name Chuck Bobuck around 2012, and later under his real name, Hardy Fox. In early September, 2018 he posted a strange note of confusion on his Facebook page that nobody understood. Shortly after that he posted on his own Website the dates 1945 – 2018. He made comments about his impending death. Here is the quote "Yes got sick, making my pass out of this world, but it is "all" okay. I have something in my brain that will last to a brief end. I am 73 as you might know. Brains go down. But maybe here is my brain functioning as I'm almost a dead person just a bit of go yet. Doctors have put me on drugs, LOL, for right now. Anyway. Probably the last of seeing me. Thanks for checking in. Love you all." He also later made the comment "Almost dead. So what." This comment, as well as his goodbye statement and his entire Facebook account have been removed. At present, the dates of his birth and "death" have also been removed and it simply says he no longer writes music. This last entry was written by Rebecca Rothers on Hardy's website. She refers to a novel, The Stone, written by Hardy which is available for free that perhaps reveals what is going on "by the end of the book." On Facebook, his sister posted to correct those who presumed he died on October 1, that he was still alive at that time.
I had some email communication with Hardy in the early 2000s regarding advice on promotion of an iconoclastic artist from the late '60s I had worked with regarding a Terrastock event. A year later, Nancy and I attended the Demons Dance Alone performance by The Residents at the Anaheim House of Blues and we had a nice conversation with Hardy where he subtly let me know he was one of The Residents.
It appears that just as in life, Hardy continues in mystery, perhaps even in death. My belief is that he is not yet gone. He may be gone from being an active participant in the world of music but is still around. I do believe he is gravely ill, perhaps unable to communicate effectively and is simply waiting for the end to come. I have my doubts we will know when he really does pass on to the other side of this life. His long-time associate with The Residents, Homer Flynn, posted a photo of himself with the obviously ailing Hardy in late September. I have copied it here. R.I.P. in this and the next life, Hardy.

It Is Complicated
On January 12, 2016 January 12, 2016 By PopeswamiLeave a comment
Well I woke up this morning with a pain in my neck,
A pain in my heart and a pain in my chest,
I went to the good doctor and the good doctor said,
You gotta slow down your life or you're gonna be dead,
Cut out the struggle and strife,
It only complicates your life.
Ray Davies, "Complicated Life" from The Kinks LP, Muswell Hillbillies, 1971
Well, I did not wake up with a pain in my neck, heart, or chest. I didn't have to see a doctor. I do have a pain in the heel of my left foot, probably a mild fracture or bruise from over use or from…never mind…it's complicated.
People are complicated. Sometimes it is difficult to predict the response you get from them. I think that makes life interesting. But when the response is unexpected, perhaps unconsciously, it is a way for the other person to say "don't seek a response from me!" Make sense? As social, communicating creatures we spend too much time trying to elicit a response from others, whether it be verbal or nonverbal. The reason I say this is because I think too often what we are doing is seeking self-affirmation from the other's response. By nature, we desire control and predictability in our environment, and that includes our interactions with the people around us. When thrown off balance by not getting what we expect or want, we often become frustrated. To complicate matters even further, there are some who expect the unexpected in their quest for self-affirmation. And, since we often assume a person we are communicating with is like-minded, we give them what we desire to get back. Perhaps unconsciously we assume everyone is just like us, or in some cases, not like us. See how complicated this gets?
It is the same with music. I do believe that people, including myself, play certain music, or certain styles of music, over and over again because we are seeking self-affirmation in its predictability. For some people, when I put on an unfamiliar piece of music, especially if that music is unconventional, or as some describe "too far out," they become frustrated; maybe even upset. Then there are those who love the unconventional, and for them when I put on a commercially successful piece of music, something that is overplayed in the media, they become bored and that brings frustration. For them unpredictability has become self-affirming. People are complicated. They think they like what they like and that is all that they like. For many, there are no strange familiars. There is just black and white, sacred and profane, good and bad, yin and yang. In reality it is all gray; all a blur. The big paradox for me is that the more you try to drill down and focus, seeking clarity, the more things blur. This is a crudely simple example of the application of the uncertainty principle.
But for me what keeps life fresh and exciting is opening myself up to something new; new sounds, new people, new places, new ideas, new sensations, new ways of doing something. When there is too much sameness in my life I become restless. Yet there are times I seek refuge in the familiar and the conventional. It is complicated.
When I was just five years old, I liked putting dissonant and discordant sounds together. The abrupt and unfamiliar excited me. I've never changed. When I was five, I was not seeking a response from anybody else in these aural explorations. I was simply entertaining myself. At that age, I remember hearing a certain song on the radio that I fell in love with. I have since found that we call the style of that song "exotica" and I later found out that that particular song was "Quiet Village" by Martin Denny. It was interesting to me because of the incorporation of frog and bird calls into the music. Yet there were other songs that were quite conventional that I have continued to enjoy such as Percy Faith's "A Summer Place". A few years later, on Pittsburgh radio station WRYT, there was a classical music program, which often played selections of modern 12-tone classical composers such as Schoenberg, Berg, and Webern. That was exciting for me because it was different and very much what I imagined in my head when I was just five years old – had I been a composer when I was five, I would have written similar music. But yet I also was very much at home with Brahms' Fourth "Tragic" Symphony.
When I was in grade school, in the evenings I would play with the knobs on our AM radios and pull in distant stations (none of our radios had FM until my freshman year in high school.) Living in southwestern Pennsylvania, we were in the skip zone for many Canadian radio stations, from Ontario (CJBC, 860 AM from Toronto) and Quebec (CBF, 690 AM from Montreal). A characteristic of the French service of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) was that they had an evening jazz program that played a lot of free jazz, such as Cecil Taylor, Sun Ra, Albert Ayler, Pharaoh Sanders, and John Coltrane. Being broadcast in French I did not understand what was said, or which artists were being played. I just knew I really loved these wild sounds. It was only later that I was able to put names to the artists I had heard.
When I was in junior high psychedelic rock began to affect contemporary rock music. This was a welcome treat for me with all the mixes of instruments from the Near East, Middle Eastern scales, odd time signatures, found sounds, swirling Farfisa organs and fuzz drenched guitars.
This is not to say that I never listened to or enjoyed popular and conventional music styles. But I would not say that I had a preference for any particular style. It was unavoidable that I would be subjected to traditional classical music, big band swing, cool jazz, and Dixieland from my family, plus the top contemporary hits in country, pop, rockabilly, and early 60s rock 'n' roll found on the radio and TV. By my freshman year in high school, my tastes ranged from Glen Miller, Burt Bacharach, Herb Alpert, Dionne Warwick, The Beatles, and The Association, to Krystof Penderecki, Albert Ayler, Ultimate Spinach, The Fugs, and The Mothers of Invention.
In my freshman year in college I remember hearing a lot about Captain Beefheart and His Magic Band being even more far out than Frank Zappa's Mothers. My only exposure to "The Good Captain" before that was on the title track to Zappa's Hot Rats LP where his Howlin' Wolf-styled vocals were put to good use. So, without hearing the first note from the double LP, Trout Mask Replica, I just had to buy it. Man, that cover with the trout masked Captain in his top hat and coat, and the red-to-hot-pink background was such an irresistible attraction! When I got it home during break and put it on the turntable, I have to say that there was just nothing like it I had heard before. Abrupt time changes, odd mutated blues patterns, free jazz style horn blowing with a wild multi-octave Captain all over the map, sometimes not even able to fit in his obscure lyrics before the end of the song. There was a familiarity with the styles incorporated into his music, but the way they were pasted together came off like a quilt designed by the blind. The drumming was executed by the most capable John "Drumbo" French, who sounded like he was on some sort of maligned Motorific Torture Track. It took some time to warm up to this. The big lesson here was that there was music out there that could still challenge me. Another lesson was that if you listen enough, it becomes familiar; you begin to anticipate what is next, and then it does not sound so weird. You begin to hum his odd tunes and sing his oddball lyrics and it suddenly makes sense. However, in doing so I instilled fear and trepidation in all but my closest friends. I feel sorry for those who do not have the desire to take the time to push the envelope.
The multimedia performance and recording artists known as The Residents pushed the envelope much further than Beefheart. The Residents were very experimental and absurdist at first but things changed over time, just as The Beatles changed over time. Their thematic works became much darker and their music less unconventional. I first heard The Residents' "Constantinople" on the Doctor Demento Show. This prompted me to seek out their music. The first LP I purchased was Not Available, shortly after it was released in 1978. I immediately fell in love with this, and still consider it one of their greatest achievements. It is true psychedelia in my book; conventionality slightly bent to put you a bit off kilter. The lyrics and the monophonic delivery is haunting. The spoken word portions sound mentally damaged. It is gripping in a waltz-through-a-slowed-down-world manner. After this I had to find everything they ever did. What I found was that each release was extremely different from the others until perhaps the last 10 years. I kept my collection complete up until the past three years when I decided the music was becoming a parody of itself. Hardy and Homer, if you are reading this, I am sorry.
The Mentally Ill and Developmentally Disabled
In recent years I have taken an interest in "outsider" artists who appear to march to a different drum or to no drum at all. The obvious ones that first come to mind are the supposed "acid casualties": Pink Floyd's Roger "Syd" Barrett; Moby Grape's Alexander "Skip" Spence; Penny Arkade's Craig Smith (aka Satya Sai Maitreya Kali); The 13th Floor Elevators' Roky Erickson; and The Seeds' Sky Saxon. All were already accomplished musical talents when they were diagnosed with schizophrenia (with the exception of Sky Saxon and perhaps Craig Smith) that manifested itself following years of hallucinogenic drug experimentation. In Craig Smith's case it may have also been due to brain damage caused by a severe beating he experienced while exploring remote areas of Afghanistan in the early 70s. My feeling is that had it not been for the drugs the underlying mental illness for most of these artists may have been kept in check but then again, we will never know for sure.
I feel a bit guilty about my interest in those who may have been victims of developmental disabilities or mental illness who found an avenue to record and express their musical talents. One such recording I acquired was by the Hi Hopes, from the Hope School in Anaheim, CA. This was a school for the developmentally disabled and it must have had a music program as several albums were pressed in the 1970s of performances by the students. Other recordings I have stumbled upon include those of Daniel Johnston, a singer-songwriter who has been diagnosed with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. He produced several cassette tapes in the 1980s and marketed them himself. His earliest have been put onto a double CD titled "Songs of Pain". There is a melancholy delicateness and childlike naivety, not dissimilar to that of Brian Wilson, to his songwriting and singing that draws me in. Another artist who is much different in style and is credited to founding the musical genre "psychobilly" is Norman Odam, aka The Legendary Stardust Cowboy. I am not sure what to make of him but his music is full of childlike enthusiasm, in the same manner as Jad Fair of Half Japanese. However, Jad is true to rock and is a bit more in touch with the rest of the world. The Cowboy, fondly referred to as "The Ledge" by some, recorded the song "Paralyzed" in 1968 and unbelievably it was released as a single on the Mercury label. The song is total vocal insanity with backup instrumentation that is nearly lost in the cacophony of sounds emitted from this man's mouth. Every human sound imaginable by mouth can be heard in total free-form abandon. While Odam never achieves the extremes of "Paralyzed" on his subsequent numerous recordings, he relentlessly tries to find new vocal sounds for self-expression, but sometimes he transitions into a more normal baritone singing style and uses real words! Larry "Wild Man" Fischer is another victim of schizophrenia who was first recorded on the album, Bedlam, attributed to a band named The Crazy People back in 1967. The album was produced by a supposed DJ from Vancouver, BC who went by the name Johnny Kitchen. Kitchen's real name is Jack Millman, an accomplished jazz trumpeter whose career began in 1948! Later in 1967 Frank Zappa "discovered" Fischer singing on the streets of L.A. and brought him into the studio to record "An Evening with Wild Man Fischer". In the mid-70s Fischer signed a contract with Rhino Records and recorded four more albums which have been collected in a 3-CD box set titled "The Fischer King". Fischer was known for his ability to create a song on-the-spot, and primarily sang unaccompanied. Many of his songs were autobiographical and presented a picture of a family that did not know how to handle a child with mental illness who primarily communicated with song. Wesley Willis was a Chicago street singer who also suffered from schizophrenia. He accompanied himself on keyboard and amazingly had a punk rock band, The Wesley Willis Fiasco. Most of his songs were quite funny as well as being grossly vulgar, but repetitive in style and lyrical structure. His most famous songs were "Kurt Cobain", "I Whupped Batman's Ass", and "Rock 'n' Roll McDonalds". Willis was also a compelling visual artist and much of his artwork appears on his album covers. He died from complications following surgery at the age of 40.

A few more artists who were either "touched" or "damaged" that come to mind, whose albums I own include the following:
Jerry Rayson – The Weird Thing in Town (1969)
Kit Ream – All That I Am (1978)
Randy Rice – To Anyone Who's Ever Laughed at Someone Else (1974)
Alter Ego and Friends – Obsessional Schizophrenia (1972)
Gary Wilson – You Think You Really Know Me (1977)
The five artists listed immediately above only recorded in limited pressings, and are not widely known outside the world of collectors. Each is quite different from the other but for all of them their problems are quite evident after a few minutes into these recordings.
I am not sure of the reason for my interest in such music. I certainly do not listen with the intention to make fun of their disabilities. I simply find them to be curious and interesting. Perhaps it is due to my psychology background. But my fascination for such things began long before I took my first psychology course, so I just don't know. It is too complicated. I will end this entry here but I am far from done with this subject.
In my next entry I will discuss other outsider artists who are simply eccentric, or determined and accomplished experimenters.
A Final Note
This morning I woke up to the sad news that David Bowie had passed away. I guess you never expect this to happen, yet it is inevitable with all of us. Bowie was one of those artists for whom I feel a great loss. He was continuously creating and reinventing himself right up to the end. His contributions were enormous. I really cannot say any more than what has been said these hours since his demise. But I will just end by stating my favorite Bowie albums: The Man Who Sold the World, Heroes, and The Singles. My favorite song was a collaboration between Bowie and John Lennon, "Fame". And then there was "Let's Dance". The Tin Machine era was really challenging and I thoroughly enjoyed that band. He was a true star, a true rock pioneer. I will miss him.
Pretzel Selections and Presque Isle Logic
On September 21, 2015 September 21, 2015 By Popeswami1 Comment
Newfound cash soon begs to smash a state of mind
Close inspection fast revealed his favorite kind
Poor kid, he overdid, embraced the spreading haze
And while he sighed his body died in fifteen ways
From "Charlie Freak" on the LP, Pretzel Logic, by Steely Dan
Music and lyrics by Walter Becker & Donald Fagen
There are many Presque Isles. First there is the State Park in Erie, Pennsylvania, right on Lake Erie. That is the first one I became aware of as a small child in training for my Popeswami representation. There is Presque Isle, Maine, which is a land locked city – I'm very curious as to how it got its name. Then there is the Presque Isle at the Northern tip of Wisconsin, on Lake Superior. Yet another is a park in Marquette, Michigan in the Upper Peninsula, again, on Lake Superior and close to the site of the original broadcasts of shortwave pirate radio station Radio Morania. The name, Presque Isle, is French for "almost an island." And of course, "no man is an island," to quote John Donne from "Meditation XVII." Or am I referring to "No Man Is an Island," the song by The Van Dykes from 1964? Or is it the phrase, "No man is an island. He is a peninsula," shouted out in the song "A Small Package of Value Will Come to You Shortly" on the After Bathing at Baxter's LP by Jefferson Airplane? This is enough to make any Popeswami's head spin. This is huge. Besides being huge, this is relevant (or is it relative?) to the topic at hand. No…the other hand.
When you surf the Web you will find many postings of "top ten deserted island albums" or similar listings. While I find these listings interesting, there is something rather myopic about it all. Who would be satisfied with just 10, or even 20 for that matter, albums they would find essential if there were no other means to hear music for the rest of their lives? Personally I would go freakin' nuts (just like Charlie) if I was stuck with just 10 or so albums. I could never create such a list. On the other hand, no – this hand! – not only do I have different fingers but I also would discover that I had access to other music. If I had a radio I could hear plenty of music unless the only stations I could hear on the island were reactionary talkers or religious hucksters. But having a radio would not satisfy me since most of the music I like is not heard on the radio. Of course you could make your own music. But that is a non-starter, since there would be no need for any list if you were satisfied with your own music – the imagination is limitless. To be a total realist, the albums would be useless on a deserted island, since there would be no electricity. A radio would also be useless, even if on battery since batteries do not last. But then, a total realist would never provide such a list, simply by principle.
So, in keeping with my "almost an island" imagery, I intend to pose a revolving list (just as an LP or CD needs to revolve to hear the music) of albums, songs, or postage stamps (if one wants to order more music from off the island). The list consists of selections I have considered essential to my own human being. Maybe most would think that is too "off the island"; sort of like Ken Kesey's "off/on the bus" imagery. Personally, I am "on the bus" but what difference does that make? What matters is that I determine my list with sound judgment. Keep in mynde that this list will change and fluctuate as I post it from tyme to time keeping everyone's mynde in mind. So on that blue note hear goes….(hear here!!!) in no particular h'orderve:
7.1 Blue Cheer – Outsideinside, released 1968 (especially the first song, "Feathers from Your Tree" and the second song, "Sun Cycle." The second song is where Leigh Stephens really shows his chops and is a far cry from the glossolalia guitar stlylings on their first album, "Vincebus Eruptum". Also dig the far out album cover!)
88.3 Ornette Coleman – "Lonely Woman" from The Shape of Jazz to Come, released 1959. (First time I heard this was on the Smithsonian Collection of Classic Jazz box set, in 1975, which resulted in my purchase of the album, which is also a great listen.)
1. The Beatles – Magical Mystery Tour, released 1967 (The entire album is great and trippy, but the highlight for me is the song, "I Am the Walrus" – thus sayeth The Crooked Man.)
1. The Residents – Not Available, recorded 1974 and released 1978 (This album hooked me as a Residents fan. 60+ albums later they are still going strong, but I still consider this to be their greatest album.)
01. Ultimate Spinach – s/t, recorded 1967, released 1968. (The work of composer, arranger, lead singer and multi-instrumentalist Ian Bruce-Douglas with supporting band he named Ultimate Spinach, was short-lived but highly influential in the psychedelic music scene of the late 60s, despite attacks on "The Bosstown Sound" which hyped the Boston bands as competition for the San Francisco music scene, and was a concept invented by their producer, Alan Lorber. Lorber's efforts backfired and effectively ruined the careers of the original bands who unfortunately signed on with him.)
003. Ultimate Spinach – Behold and See, released 1968. (The second Ultimate Spinach album, and the last with Ian Bruce-Douglas at the helm. The almost over-the-edge insanity lyrics by Ian scared me at first and I almost expected this would be Ian's last with the band. "Mind Flowers" and "Fragmentary March of Green" are the high points.)
.5 The Mothers of Invention – Uncle Meat, recorded 1967-68, released 1969. This recording I found to be totally mind-blowing at the time it came out. The brilliance of Frank Zappa is something to behold here.
3. Various Artists – Instrumental Music of the Southern Appalachians, recorded 1956, released 1976. (This LP helped me regain my appreciation of folk music. Contains essential performances by Hobart Smith (fiddle & 5-string fretless banjo), Etta Baker (guitar), Richard Chase (harmonica), Edd Presnell (dulcimer), Lacey Phillips & Boone Reid (5-string banjo)).
15. Phil Keaggy – What A Day, released 1973. (I needed this album at the time it came out. It spoke to me immensely.)
7.2 Ram Dass – Love Serve Remember, released 1973. (I discovered this 6-LP set in 1976 and still consider it essential. Besides Ram Dass taking listener's calls on various radio stations, it has music by Krishna Das, Bhagavan Das, Amazing Grace (their version of Paramuhansa Yogananda's "Listen Listen" is fantastic), The Brothers of Mount Savior Monastery, Guru Blanket, The Sufi Choir, Sarada and Rabindranath, Mirabai, Berkeley Community Theatre, and a chant from an unknown source, but probably Buddhist monks, of "gate, gate, paragate, parasamgate, bhodi swaha" that was exceptionally moving.)
11. Anonymous – Inside the Shadow, released 1977. (Only discovered this a decade ago, but it is fantastic. This group from Indiana is a mix of Byrds folk rock sound and San Francisco bands like Quicksilver Messenger Service and Tripsichord Music Box but just a decade too late.)
.13 Entheogenic – s/t, released 2002 (a modern psybient group with a fantastic debut album)
97. Spirit – The Twelve Dreams of Dr. Sardonicus, released 1970 (an amazing album)
103. The Beatles – Abbey Road, released 1969 (need I say more?)
18. The Zombies – Odessey and Oracle, released 1968 (essential in any 60s collection)
47.7 Blood Sweat and Tears – s/t, released 1968 (tugged at my heart with big band sounds)
1.111 The Velvet Underground – White Light/White Heat, released 1968 (proto-punk, musical deconstruction, raw and primitive – it appealed to my anti-social side)
2/ The Fugs – Tenderness Junction, released 1968 (the best they ever did)
5.2 Big Brother & The Holding Company – Cheap Thrills, released 1968 (what is not to love about Janice?)
3. The Doors – Perception, released 2006 (this box set has all their albums with Jim Morrison. I can't decide which album moved me the most, so here they all are. But as I ponder this, the first three LPs always seem to come out on top.)
19. Deep Purple – The Book of Taliesyn, released 1968 (Tremendous album, and this is before they became heavy metal kings in the 70s! This was their second LP. Their first, "Shades of Deep Purple," ain't too shabby either.)
23:27 Jandek – Telegraph Melts, released 1986. (Outsider artist, Jandek – his 12th album. Highlight is the song "You Painted Your Teeth." This album takes patience and several listens to finally appreciate. All his albums are like that.)
I think I will list some songs here that were standouts in my pre-adult years:
1. The Hollies – Bus Stop
2. Dave Clark Five – Because
3. Percy Faith – A Summer Place
4. Tom Jones – Delilah
5. Frank D'Rone – Make Me Rainbows
6. Henry Mancini – The Great Imposter
7. Al Caiola – Experiment in Terror (written by Mancini)
8. The Fontaine Sisters – Daddy-O
9. The Orlons – Don't Hang Up
10. Marty Robbins – A White Sport Coat, And a Pink Carnation
11. Marty Robbins – El Paso
12. Nat King Cole – Ramblin' Rose
13. Ray Charles – I Can't Stop Loving You
14. Ray Charles – You Don't Know Me
15. Dusty Springfield – You Don't Have to Say You Love Me
16. Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass – A Taste of Honey
17. Dodie Stevens – Pink Shoe Laces
I am just scratching the surface! I didn't want to stop with either list. I should have made it my top 500. Or maybe top 5000. Just on the past 17 songs I could write a book. There will be more lists later on down the road. My next post will be soon – and will discuss my recent attendance at another amazing collaboration involving Jamie Shadowlight. And perhaps some additional lists or a featured slice of music. And I might use that concert as a springboard for a discussion of experimental music in general. Stay tuned. | {

Senate GOP open to states allowing narrow gun restriction
By MARIANNE LEVINE
Senate Republicans on Tuesday appeared open to encouraging states to move forward on so-called red flag bills to address gun violence. But broader federal legislation was off the table.
A Senate Judiciary Committee hearing focused on red flag laws that allow police and family members to petition a court to temporarily restrict access to firearms for people who could be an imminent threat to others or to themselves. Fourteen states and the District of Columbia have passed such bills.
The discussion around red flag laws comes amid an international reckoning over guns, with the recent suicide of a survivor of the mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla., as well as the apparent suicide of another student, in addition to the suicide of the father of a student killed at Sandy Hook Elementary School. The hearing's discussion around gun violence also comes after New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern banned assault weapons after a gunman attacked two mosques in a massacre in Christchurch that claimed 50 lives.
Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) acknowledged that any federal bill on guns would be a heavy lift, but state red flag laws could be a start.
"I think passing a federal law is probably beyond what the market will bear," he said in his opening remarks on Tuesday. But he said the federal government could give a nod to the states that "if you do it in a certain way, the federal government will incentivize you."
"I think that's the best way at least initially to solve this problem," Graham said.
Committee ranking member Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) also voiced support for red flag laws and cited legislation she's introduced that would provide grants to states to implement such laws. But she also acknowledged that the law "is a step - it's not a big step - it's a small step in the right direction."
"I thought that the Sandy Hook shooting was a moment Congress would step up and take action," Feinstein said. "Similarly we saw no action after Parkland, after Las Vegas or after the many other massacres our country has had to cope with. Unlike the United States, other countries did not miss the opportunity to do something."
Although Senate Republicans said they were open to the idea of red flag laws, several voiced concern about whether such restrictions could violate individual constitutional rights. Sen. Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) said any red flag legislation "needs to include the utmost protection for due process rights." Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) said red flag laws can "potentially be part of the solution" but policymakers need to be able to balance protecting public safety with protecting constitutional rights.
The National Rifle Association said it supports the concept of red flag laws but has opposed the laws that have passed in states so far, pointing to constitutional issues.
'Let's just get the goods': Pelosi rallies dejected Dems post-Mueller
By ANDREW DESIDERIO and HEATHER CAYGLE
"Nobody wants dangerous mentally ill people to have access to firearms, which is why the NRA supports risk protection orders with adequate due process protections," NRA spokesperson Jennifer Baker said in a statement. "The NRA has not supported any of the red flag bills introduced on the state level to date because they do not provide adequate due process protections."
Although Democratic senators thanked Graham for holding the hearing, they said the Senate could do more comprehensive gun laws. In February, the Democratic-controlled House passed the most sweeping gun control legislation in decades, which expands federal criminal background checks on gun sales. Graham has said he will not take up the House bills in the Senate.
"We've got to do more," said Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.), who called on Congress to push forward on more comprehensive gun safety legislation. "I'm tired of seeing sidewalk shrines to dead children in my community...and people doing nothing to put gun safety laws that we agree with in terms of getting it to a vote in this body."

FTSE 350 DB funding levels stabilise following market volatility
The aggregate surplus of defined benefit (DB) pension schemes for the UK's 350 largest listed companies increased from £29bn at the end of October to £31bn at the end of November, according to Mercer's Pension Risk Survey.
The analysis revealed that the present value of liabilities rose from £600bn at 31 October 2022 to £627bn at the end of November, attributing this to a fall in corporate bond yields, which was partially offset by falling future implied inflation expectations.
As a result, assets outperformed the liabilities, increasing from £629bn at the end of October to £658bn at the end of November.
Reflecting on the movement over the period, Mercer principal, Matt Smith, pointed out that November saw the release of the Chancellor's Autumn Statement, which focused on shoring up public finances and reassuring markets, explaining that this seems to have had a limited impact on gilt markets in comparison to September's fiscal announcements.
He stated: "The aggregate funding position on an accounting basis appears to have stabilised following the aftermath of the events at the end of September, with a surplus of £31bn at the end of November.
"In contrast to the former Chancellor's "Growth Plan" in September, the Autumn Statement looks to have had little impact on UK gilt markets, implying some level of confidence in the government's new fiscal policy but also highlighting the stark contrast in the handling of the two events and the market's reaction to them.
"However, many pension schemes are likely to be working through the next steps in relation to both their investment strategy and their broader funding plans. Next steps will include consideration of The Pensions Regulator's statement of 30 November 2022 on liability driven investment (LDI) which reinforced the need for sensible collateral and liquidity management.
"The Pensions Regulator's recent statement confirms the need for increased focus and tolerances on LDI, as well as strong governance, but pleasingly they have retained a flexible framework for schemes to work through sensibly.
"For pension schemes, this provides a focus for ongoing discussions around risk management."

Bradley faces sentence; mom says he's no monster
Published June 27, 2014 by Florida Today
The mother of a man convicted of killing a Brevard County Sheriff's deputy gave her son's attorneys a collection of photos and keepsakes to help them better know the man they were defending. Though never shown in court, they depict Brandon Bradley's childhood: a skinny boy running with a football in shoulder pads and helmet, wearing Melbourne PAL green and white. Bradley and his half brother posing with Minnesota Vikings Quarterback Daunte Culpepper.
Bradley will probably be sentenced to death at 1:30 p.m. today in a hearing at the Moore Justice Center in Viera. The same jury that convicted Bradley in April recommended death by a 10-2 vote days later, a recommendation which Judge Morgan Reinman is required to strongly consider when making her decision.
Public vitriol has been heavy since Bradley and Andria Kerchner were arrested not long after Pill was shot in early 2012. Kerchner pleaded guilty to being an accessory after the fact to first-degree murder, grand theft and burglary. Some comments on FLORIDA TODAY's coverage of the trial call for his execution, including calls for him to be shot, hanged or electrocuted.
Bradley's mother, Tiffany Taylor, avoids online comments about her son on media websites. She quit watching the news after the March 2012 incident.
"Brandon is not the monster that he's portrayed to be," she said.
The 24-year-old was born at Holmes Regional Medical Center. Apart from a year and a half in Atlanta, his childhood homes fit within a 10-mile radius in Melbourne.
Bradley's real last name is Brantley, his mother doesn't know where the other title came from. He was quiet as a kid, kept to himself. His family nicknamed him "Rat" because he scrounged for snacks, often chips. He loved football and played with the Melbourne Police Athletic League. His mother remembers him running for touchdowns and winning trophies. He once made the academic honor roll at Creel Elementary School.
Bradley's mother knows the death penalty is likely. His lawyers have already talked about the appeals process.
"There are days when I would have complete meltdowns and I would just cry about it," she said. Sometimes she feels nauseous.
She saw her boy change in his senior year of high school, when they were living in a home on Elena Way. Bradley started getting into fights. His friends were skipping school, smoking weed. He started dealing drugs, he wanted to make money.
She insisted he finish school. He was 17 when he graduated from Eau Gallie High School in May 2007 with a 2.6 GPA. But after that, he left home and she didn't see him much.
His first felony was in September of that year — burglary of a car, grand theft. He was caught with cocaine and cannabis in May 2008 and committed a robbery the next month.
Carrie Ellison met him in June 2010 and they soon started dating. She said she loved him.
"He was probably one of the most caring boyfriends I've had," she said. He'd bring her favorite foods after a long day of work or school, he'd tell her the truth even if it upset her.
Following the murder of a cousin and the miscarriage of a child he had with Ellison, Bradley turned to drugs.
"He started taking a lot of ecstasy, codeine, promethazine, smoking more weed. He was just numbing himself. He wasn't himself after those events."
They split up, but remained close friends. She saw him about two weeks before the shooting. She hugged him and felt a gun, he said some guy in Cocoa was after him and he had to protect himself.
At some point, Bradley started hanging out with his future co-defendant, Kerchner. His mother doesn't know when that happened, and didn't know about her until after Pill's death.
His mother feels Kerchner got off easy with a 12-year plea deal.
"She practically got nothing," Taylor said. "She got a slap on the wrist…"
She said Bradley wouldn't steal from a motel room and didn't do hard drugs before Kerchner.
Bradley's attorneys presented evidence that he took psychedelic mushrooms and cocaine the night before the killing and was on Xanax and marijuana at the time.
"This is not Brandon, this is something he would never do," his mother said of the shooting. "Had he been in his right mind, he would never have done that."
The lives of Deputy Pill, and arguably Bradley, ended just a few steps from the home on Elena Way where he lived in high school.
Ellison saw it on the news. She dropped to her knees, crying.
"Sometimes I still don't believe it. I know it happened, but it's hard to fathom that somebody you know could do something so horrible."
When Ellison went to visit him in jail two weeks after the killing, he broke down, shaking and weeping, she said.
"We both cried the whole time," she said. "The whole hour."
In court, Bradley appeared expressionless. He broke one time, when he wiped tears from his teardrop tattoos as his half brothers testified about their abusive childhood.
Bradley's mother sat through most of his trial, and she plans to be in court today. | {

The scene in Sanford Stadium will be one that Alabama fans talk about for years.
As an 'underdog' for the first time in years, the Crimson Tide rolled into Athens and seemingly recreated the infamous 2008 'Blackout' victory over the Bulldogs. Add in the steady - and sometimes drenching - rains that fell throughout the day and this game will leave a lasting memory for Alabama fans.
The 13th-ranked Crimson Tide eventually grew the lead to 31-3 in the third quarter, which led to many Georgia fans heading to the exits. By the start of the fourth quarter, the stadium seemed to be more than half empty in the Georgia sections.
Alabama fans stayed well through the end of the game to sing Rammer Jammer and celebrate with the players. The memories from this trip will have to last for a while as Alabama isn't scheduled to play in Athens for at least another decade. In all likelihood, that makes this 38-10 win Saban's last appearance as a head coach in Sanford Stadium.

By now, we are familiar with writing equations that describe a line in two dimensions. To write an equation for a line, we must know two points on the line, or we must know the direction of the line and at least one point through which the line passes. In two dimensions, we use the concept of slope to describe the orientation, or direction, of a line. In three dimensions, we describe the direction of a line using a vector parallel to the line. In this section, we examine how to use equations to describe lines and planes in space.
Equations for a Line in Space
Let's first explore what it means for two vectors to be parallel. Recall that parallel vectors must have the same or opposite directions. If two nonzero vectors, uu and v,v, are parallel, we claim there must be a scalar, k,k, such that u=kv.u=kv. If uu and vv have the same direction, simply choose k=‖u‖‖v‖.k=‖u‖‖v‖. If uu and vv have opposite directions, choose k=−‖u‖‖v‖.k=−‖u‖‖v‖. Note that the converse holds as well. If u=kvu=kv for some scalar k,k, then either uu and vv have the same direction (k>0)(k>0) or opposite directions (k<0),(k<0), so uu and vv are parallel. Therefore, two nonzero vectors uu and vv are parallel if and only if u=kvu=kv for some scalar k.k. By convention, the zero vector 00 is considered to be parallel to all vectors.
As in two dimensions, we can describe a line in space using a point on the line and the direction of the line, or a parallel vector, which we call the direction vector (Figure 2.63). Let LL be a line in space passing through point P(x0,y0,z0).P(x0,y0,z0). Let v=〈a,b,c〉v=〈a,b,c〉 be a vector parallel to L.L. Then, for any point on line Q(x,y,z),Q(x,y,z), we know that PQ→PQ→ is parallel to v.v. Thus, as we just discussed, there is a scalar, t,t, such that PQ→=tv,PQ→=tv, which gives
PQ→=tv〈x−x0,y−y0,z−z0〉=t〈a,b,c〉〈x−x0,y−y0,z−z0〉=〈ta,tb,tc〉.PQ→=tv〈x−x0,y−y0,z−z0〉=t〈a,b,c〉〈x−x0,y−y0,z−z0〉=〈ta,tb,tc〉.
Figure 2.63 Vector v is the direction vector for PQ→.PQ→.
Using vector operations, we can rewrite Equation 2.11 as
〈x−x0,y−y0,z−z0〉=〈ta,tb,tc〉〈x,y,z〉−〈x0,y0,z0〉=t〈a,b,c〉〈x,y,z〉=〈x0,y0,z0〉+t〈a,b,c〉.〈x−x0,y−y0,z−z0〉=〈ta,tb,tc〉〈x,y,z〉−〈x0,y0,z0〉=t〈a,b,c〉〈x,y,z〉=〈x0,y0,z0〉+t〈a,b,c〉.
Setting r=〈x,y,z〉r=〈x,y,z〉 and r0=〈x0,y0,z0〉,r0=〈x0,y0,z0〉, we now have the vector equation of a line:
r=r0+tv.r=r0+tv.
Equating components, Equation 2.11 shows that the following equations are simultaneously true: x−x0=ta,x−x0=ta, y−y0=tb,y−y0=tb, and z−z0=tc.z−z0=tc. If we solve each of these equations for the component variables x,y,andz,x,y,andz, we get a set of equations in which each variable is defined in terms of the parameter t and that, together, describe the line. This set of three equations forms a set of parametric equations of a line:
x=x0+tay=y0+tbz=z0+tc.x=x0+tay=y0+tbz=z0+tc.
If we solve each of the equations for tt assuming a,b,andca,b,andc are nonzero, we get a different description of the same line:
x−x0a=ty−y0b=tz−z0c=t.x−x0a=ty−y0b=tz−z0c=t.
Because each expression equals t, they all have the same value. We can set them equal to each other to create symmetric equations of a line:
x−x0a=y−y0b=z−z0c.x−x0a=y−y0b=z−z0c.
We summarize the results in the following theorem.
Theorem 2.11
Parametric and Symmetric Equations of a Line
A line LL parallel to vector v=〈a,b,c〉v=〈a,b,c〉 and passing through point P(x0,y0,z0)P(x0,y0,z0) can be described by the following parametric equations:
x=x0+ta,y=y0+tb,andz=z0+tc.x=x0+ta,y=y0+tb,andz=z0+tc.
If the constants a,b,andca,b,andc are all nonzero, then LL can be described by the symmetric equation of the line:
The parametric equations of a line are not unique. Using a different parallel vector or a different point on the line leads to a different, equivalent representation. Each set of parametric equations leads to a related set of symmetric equations, so it follows that a symmetric equation of a line is not unique either.
Example 2.45
Equations of a Line in Space
Find parametric and symmetric equations of the line passing through points (1,4,−2)(1,4,−2) and (−3,5,0).(−3,5,0).
First, identify a vector parallel to the line:
v=〈−3−1,5−4,0−(−2)〉=〈−4,1,2〉.v=〈−3−1,5−4,0−(−2)〉=〈−4,1,2〉.
Use either of the given points on the line to complete the parametric equations:
x=1−4t,y=4+t,andz=−2+2t.x=1−4t,y=4+t,andz=−2+2t.
Solve each equation for tt to create the symmetric equation of the line:
x−1−4=y−4=z+22.x−1−4=y−4=z+22.
Checkpoint 2.43
Find parametric and symmetric equations of the line passing through points (1,−3,2)(1,−3,2) and (5,−2,8).(5,−2,8).
Sometimes we don't want the equation of a whole line, just a line segment. In this case, we limit the values of our parameter t.t. For example, let P(x0,y0,z0)P(x0,y0,z0) and Q(x1,y1,z1)Q(x1,y1,z1) be points on a line, and let p=〈x0,y0,z0〉p=〈x0,y0,z0〉 and q=〈x1,y1,z1〉q=〈x1,y1,z1〉 be the associated position vectors. In addition, let r=〈x,y,z〉.r=〈x,y,z〉. We want to find a vector equation for the line segment between PP and Q.Q. Using PP as our known point on the line, and PQ→=〈x1−x0,y1−y0,z1−z0〉PQ→=〈x1−x0,y1−y0,z1−z0〉 as the direction vector equation, Equation 2.12 gives
r=p+t(PQ→).r=p+t(PQ→).
Using properties of vectors, then
r=p+t(PQ→)=〈x0,y0,z0〉+t〈x1−x0,y1−y0,z1−z0〉=〈x0,y0,z0〉+t(〈x1,y1,z1〉−〈x0,y0,z0〉)=〈x0,y0,z0〉+t〈x1,y1,z1〉−t〈x0,y0,z0〉=(1−t)〈x0,y0,z0〉+t〈x1,y1,z1〉=(1−t)p+tq.r=p+t(PQ→)=〈x0,y0,z0〉+t〈x1−x0,y1−y0,z1−z0〉=〈x0,y0,z0〉+t(〈x1,y1,z1〉−〈x0,y0,z0〉)=〈x0,y0,z0〉+t〈x1,y1,z1〉−t〈x0,y0,z0〉=(1−t)〈x0,y0,z0〉+t〈x1,y1,z1〉=(1−t)p+tq.
Thus, the vector equation of the line passing through PP and QQ is
r=(1−t)p+tq.r=(1−t)p+tq.
Remember that we didn't want the equation of the whole line, just the line segment between PP and Q.Q. Notice that when t=0,t=0, we have r=p,r=p, and when t=1,t=1, we have r=q.r=q. Therefore, the vector equation of the line segment between PP and QQ is
r=(1−t)p+tq,0≤t≤1.r=(1−t)p+tq,0≤t≤1.
Going back to Equation 2.12, we can also find parametric equations for this line segment. We have
r=p+t(PQ→)〈x,y,z〉=〈x0,y0,z0〉+t〈x1−x0,y1−y0,z1−z0〉=〈x0+t(x1−x0),y0+t(y1−y0),z0+t(z1−z0)〉.r=p+t(PQ→)〈x,y,z〉=〈x0,y0,z0〉+t〈x1−x0,y1−y0,z1−z0〉=〈x0+t(x1−x0),y0+t(y1−y0),z0+t(z1−z0)〉.
Then, the parametric equations are
x=x0+t(x1−x0),y=y0+t(y1−y0),z=z0+t(z1−z0),0≤t≤1.x=x0+t(x1−x0),y=y0+t(y1−y0),z=z0+t(z1−z0),0≤t≤1.
Parametric Equations of a Line Segment
Find parametric equations of the line segment between the points P(2,1,4)P(2,1,4) and Q(3,−1,3).Q(3,−1,3).
By Equation 2.16, we have
Working with each component separately, we get
x=x0+t(x1−x0)=2+t(3−2)=2+t,x=x0+t(x1−x0)=2+t(3−2)=2+t,
y=y0+t(y1−y0)=1+t(−1−1)=1−2t,y=y0+t(y1−y0)=1+t(−1−1)=1−2t,
z=z0+t(z1−z0)=4+t(3−4)=4−t.z=z0+t(z1−z0)=4+t(3−4)=4−t.
Therefore, the parametric equations for the line segment are
x=2+t,y=1−2t,z=4−t,0≤t≤1.x=2+t,y=1−2t,z=4−t,0≤t≤1.
Find parametric equations of the line segment between points P(−1,3,6)P(−1,3,6) and Q(−8,2,4).Q(−8,2,4).
Distance between a Point and a Line
We already know how to calculate the distance between two points in space. We now expand this definition to describe the distance between a point and a line in space. Several real-world contexts exist when it is important to be able to calculate these distances. When building a home, for example, builders must consider "setback" requirements, when structures or fixtures have to be a certain distance from the property line. Air travel offers another example. Airlines are concerned about the distances between populated areas and proposed flight paths.
Let LL be a line in the plane and let MM be any point not on the line. Then, we define distance dd from MM to LL as the length of line segment MP—,MP—, where PP is a point on LL such that MP—MP— is perpendicular to LL (Figure 2.64).
Figure 2.64 The distance from point MM to line LL is the length of MP—.MP—.
When we're looking for the distance between a line and a point in space, Figure 2.64 still applies. We still define the distance as the length of the perpendicular line segment connecting the point to the line. In space, however, there is no clear way to know which point on the line creates such a perpendicular line segment, so we select an arbitrary point on the line and use properties of vectors to calculate the distance. Therefore, let PP be an arbitrary point on line LL and let vv be a direction vector for LL (Figure 2.65).
Figure 2.65 Vectors PM→PM→ and v form two sides of a parallelogram with base ‖v‖‖v‖ and height d,d, which is the distance between a line and a point in space.
By Area of a Parallelogram, vectors PM→PM→ and vv form two sides of a parallelogram with area ‖PM→×v‖.‖PM→×v‖. Using a formula from geometry, the area of this parallelogram can also be calculated as the product of its base and height:
‖PM→×v‖=‖v‖d.‖PM→×v‖=‖v‖d.
We can use this formula to find a general formula for the distance between a line in space and any point not on the line.
Distance from a Point to a Line
Let LL be a line in space passing through point PP with direction vector v.v. If MM is any point not on L,L, then the distance from MM to LL is
d=‖PM→×v‖‖v‖.d=‖PM→×v‖‖v‖.
Calculating the Distance from a Point to a Line
Find the distance between t point M=(1,1,3)M=(1,1,3) and line x−34=y+12=z−3.x−34=y+12=z−3.
From the symmetric equations of the line, we know that vector v=〈4,2,1〉v=〈4,2,1〉 is a direction vector for the line. Setting the symmetric equations of the line equal to zero, we see that point P(3,−1,3)P(3,−1,3) lies on the line. Then,
PM→=〈1−3,1−(−1),3−3〉=〈−2,2,0〉.PM→=〈1−3,1−(−1),3−3〉=〈−2,2,0〉.
To calculate the distance, we need to find PM→×v:PM→×v:
PM→×v=|ijk−220421|=(2−0)i−(−2−0)j+(−4−8)k=2i+2j−12k.PM→×v=|ijk−220421|=(2−0)i−(−2−0)j+(−4−8)k=2i+2j−12k.
Therefore, the distance between the point and the line is (Figure 2.66)
d=‖PM→×v‖‖v‖=22+22+12242+22+12=23821.d=‖PM→×v‖‖v‖=22+22+12242+22+12=23821.
Figure 2.66 Point (1,1,3)(1,1,3) is approximately 2.72.7 units from the line with symmetric equations x−34=y+12=z−3.x−34=y+12=z−3.
Find the distance between point (0,3,6)(0,3,6) and the line with parametric equations x=1−t,y=1+2t,z=5+3t.x=1−t,y=1+2t,z=5+3t.
Relationships between Lines
Given two lines in the two-dimensional plane, the lines are equal, they are parallel but not equal, or they intersect in a single point. In three dimensions, a fourth case is possible. If two lines in space are not parallel, but do not intersect, then the lines are said to be skew lines (Figure 2.67).
Figure 2.67 In three dimensions, it is possible that two lines do not cross, even when they have different directions.
To classify lines as parallel but not equal, equal, intersecting, or skew, we need to know two things: whether the direction vectors are parallel and whether the lines share a point (Figure 2.68).
Figure 2.68 Determine the relationship between two lines based on whether their direction vectors are parallel and whether they share a point.
Classifying Lines in Space
For each pair of lines, determine whether the lines are equal, parallel but not equal, skew, or intersecting.
L1:x=2s−1,y=s−1,z=s−4L1:x=2s−1,y=s−1,z=s−4
L2:x=t−3,y=3t+8,z=5−2tL2:x=t−3,y=3t+8,z=5−2t
L1:L1: x=−y=zx=−y=z
L2:x−32=y=z−2L2:x−32=y=z−2
L1:x=6s−1,y=−2s,z=3s+1L1:x=6s−1,y=−2s,z=3s+1
L2:x−46=y+3−2=z−13L2:x−46=y+3−2=z−13
Line L1L1 has direction vector v1=〈2,1,1〉;v1=〈2,1,1〉; line L2L2 has direction vector v2=〈1,3,−2〉.v2=〈1,3,−2〉. Because the direction vectors are not parallel vectors, the lines are either intersecting or skew. To determine whether the lines intersect, we see if there is a point, (x,y,z),(x,y,z), that lies on both lines. To find this point, we use the parametric equations to create a system of equalities:
2s−1=t−3;s−1=3t+8;s−4=5−2t.2s−1=t−3;s−1=3t+8;s−4=5−2t.
By the first equation, t=2s+2.t=2s+2. Substituting into the second equation yields
s−1=3(2s+2)+8s−1=6s+6+85s=−15s=−3.s−1=3(2s+2)+8s−1=6s+6+85s=−15s=−3.
Substitution into the third equation, however, yields a contradiction:
s−4=5−2(2s+2)s−4=5−4s−45s=5s=1.s−4=5−2(2s+2)s−4=5−4s−45s=5s=1.
There is no single point that satisfies the parametric equations for L1andL2L1andL2 simultaneously. These lines do not intersect, so they are skew (see the following figure).
Line L1 has direction vector v1=〈1,−1,1〉v1=〈1,−1,1〉 and passes through the origin, (0,0,0).(0,0,0). Line L2L2 has a different direction vector, v2=〈2,1,1〉,v2=〈2,1,1〉, so these lines are not parallel or equal. Let rr represent the parameter for line L1L1 and let ss represent the parameter for L2:L2:
x=r y=−r z=r x=2s+3 y=s z=s+2. x=r y=−r z=r x=2s+3 y=s z=s+2.
Solve the system of equations to find r=1r=1 and s=−1.s=−1. If we need to find the point of intersection, we can substitute these parameters into the original equations to get (1,−1,1)(1,−1,1) (see the following figure).
Lines L1L1 and L2L2 have equivalent direction vectors: v=〈6,−2,3〉.v=〈6,−2,3〉. These two lines are parallel (see the following figure).
Describe the relationship between the lines with the following parametric equations:
x=1−4t,y=3+t,z=8−6tx=1−4t,y=3+t,z=8−6t
x=2+3s,y=2s,z=−1−3s.x=2+3s,y=2s,z=−1−3s.
Equations for a Plane
We know that a line is determined by two points. In other words, for any two distinct points, there is exactly one line that passes through those points, whether in two dimensions or three. Similarly, given any three points that do not all lie on the same line, there is a unique plane that passes through these points. Just as a line is determined by two points, a plane is determined by three.
This may be the simplest way to characterize a plane, but we can use other descriptions as well. For example, given two distinct, intersecting lines, there is exactly one plane containing both lines. A plane is also determined by a line and any point that does not lie on the line. These characterizations arise naturally from the idea that a plane is determined by three points. Perhaps the most surprising characterization of a plane is actually the most useful.
Imagine a pair of orthogonal vectors that share an initial point. Visualize grabbing one of the vectors and twisting it. As you twist, the other vector spins around and sweeps out a plane. Here, we describe that concept mathematically. Let n=〈a,b,c〉n=〈a,b,c〉 be a vector and P=(x0,y0,z0)P=(x0,y0,z0) be a point. Then the set of all points Q=(x,y,z)Q=(x,y,z) such that PQ→PQ→ is orthogonal to nn forms a plane (Figure 2.69). We say that nn is a normal vector, or perpendicular to the plane. Remember, the dot product of orthogonal vectors is zero. This fact generates the vector equation of a plane: n·PQ→=0.n·PQ→=0. Rewriting this equation provides additional ways to describe the plane:
n·PQ→=0〈a,b,c〉·〈x−x0,y−y0,z−z0〉=0a(x−x0)+b(y−y0)+c(z−z0)=0.n·PQ→=0〈a,b,c〉·〈x−x0,y−y0,z−z0〉=0a(x−x0)+b(y−y0)+c(z−z0)=0.
Figure 2.69 Given a point PP and vector n,n, the set of all points QQ with PQ→PQ→ orthogonal to nn forms a plane.
Given a point PP and vector n,n, the set of all points QQ satisfying the equation n·PQ→=0n·PQ→=0 forms a plane. The equation
n·PQ→=0n·PQ→=0
is known as the vector equation of a plane.
The scalar equation of a plane containing point P=(x0,y0,z0)P=(x0,y0,z0) with normal vector n=〈a,b,c〉n=〈a,b,c〉 is
a(x−x0)+b(y−y0)+c(z−z0)=0.a(x−x0)+b(y−y0)+c(z−z0)=0.
This equation can be expressed as ax+by+cz+d=0,ax+by+cz+d=0, where d=−ax0−by0−cz0.d=−ax0−by0−cz0. This form of the equation is sometimes called the general form of the equation of a plane.
As described earlier in this section, any three points that do not all lie on the same line determine a plane. Given three such points, we can find an equation for the plane containing these points.
Writing an Equation of a Plane Given Three Points in the Plane
Write an equation for the plane containing points P=(1,1,−2),P=(1,1,−2), Q=(0,2,1),Q=(0,2,1), and R=(−1,−1,0)R=(−1,−1,0) in both standard and general forms.
To write an equation for a plane, we must find a normal vector for the plane. We start by identifying two vectors in the plane:
PQ→=〈0−1,2−1,1−(−2)〉=〈−1,1,3〉QR→=〈−1−0,−1−2,0−1〉=〈−1,−3,−1〉.PQ→=〈0−1,2−1,1−(−2)〉=〈−1,1,3〉QR→=〈−1−0,−1−2,0−1〉=〈−1,−3,−1〉.
The cross product PQ→×QR→PQ→×QR→ is orthogonal to both PQ→PQ→ and QR→,QR→, so it is normal to the plane that contains these two vectors:
n=PQ→×QR→=|ijk−113−1−3−1|=(−1+9)i−(1+3)j+(3+1)k=8i−4j+4k.n=PQ→×QR→=|ijk−113−1−3−1|=(−1+9)i−(1+3)j+(3+1)k=8i−4j+4k.
Thus, n=〈8,−4,4〉,n=〈8,−4,4〉, and we can choose any of the three given points to write an equation of the plane:
8(x−1)−4(y−1)+4(z+2)=08x−4y+4z+4=0.8(x−1)−4(y−1)+4(z+2)=08x−4y+4z+4=0.
The scalar equations of a plane vary depending on the normal vector and point chosen.
Writing an Equation for a Plane Given a Point and a Line
Find an equation of the plane that passes through point (1,4,3)(1,4,3) and contains the line given by x=y−12=z+1.x=y−12=z+1.
Symmetric equations describe the line that passes through point (0,1,−1)(0,1,−1) parallel to vector v1=〈1,2,1〉v1=〈1,2,1〉 (see the following figure). Use this point and the given point, (1,4,3),(1,4,3), to identify a second vector parallel to the plane:
v2=〈1−0,4−1,3−(−1)〉=〈1,3,4〉.v2=〈1−0,4−1,3−(−1)〉=〈1,3,4〉.
Use the cross product of these vectors to identify a normal vector for the plane:
n=v1×v2=|ijk121134|=(8−3)i−(4−1)j+(3−2)k=5i−3j+k.n=v1×v2=|ijk121134|=(8−3)i−(4−1)j+(3−2)k=5i−3j+k.
The scalar equations for the plane are 5x−3(y−1)+(z+1)=05x−3(y−1)+(z+1)=0 and 5x−3y+z+4=0.5x−3y+z+4=0.
Find an equation of the plane containing the lines L1L1 and L2:L2:
L1:x=−y=zL2:x−32=y=z−2.L1:x=−y=zL2:x−32=y=z−2.
Now that we can write an equation for a plane, we can use the equation to find the distance dd between a point PP and the plane. It is defined as the shortest possible distance from PP to a point on the plane.
Figure 2.70 We want to find the shortest distance from point P to the plane. Let point RR be the point in the plane such that, for any other point in the plane Q,Q, ‖RP→‖<‖QP→‖.‖RP→‖<‖QP→‖.
Just as we find the two-dimensional distance between a point and a line by calculating the length of a line segment perpendicular to the line, we find the three-dimensional distance between a point and a plane by calculating the length of a line segment perpendicular to the plane. Let RR bet the point in the plane such that RP→RP→ is orthogonal to the plane, and let QQ be an arbitrary point in the plane. Then the projection of vector QP→QP→ onto the normal vector describes vector RP→,RP→, as shown in Figure 2.70.
The Distance between a Plane and a Point
Suppose a plane with normal vector nn passes through point Q.Q. The distance dd from the plane to a point PP not in the plane is given by
d=‖projnQP→‖=|compnQP→|=|QP→·n|‖n‖.d=‖projnQP→‖=|compnQP→|=|QP→·n|‖n‖.
Distance between a Point and a Plane
Find the distance between point P=(3,1,2)P=(3,1,2) and the plane given by x−2y+z=5x−2y+z=5 (see the following figure).
The coefficients of the plane's equation provide a normal vector for the plane: n=〈1,−2,1〉.n=〈1,−2,1〉. To find vector QP→,QP→, we need a point in the plane. Any point will work, so set y=z=0y=z=0 to see that point Q=(5,0,0)Q=(5,0,0) lies in the plane. Find the component form of the vector from QtoP:QtoP:
QP→=〈3−5,1−0,2−0〉=〈−2,1,2〉.QP→=〈3−5,1−0,2−0〉=〈−2,1,2〉.
Apply the distance formula from Equation 2.19:
d=|QP→·n|‖n‖=|〈−2,1,2〉·〈1,−2,1〉|12+(−2)2+12=|−2−2+2|6=26.d=|QP→·n|‖n‖=|〈−2,1,2〉·〈1,−2,1〉|12+(−2)2+12=|−2−2+2|6=26.
Find the distance between point P=(5,−1,0)P=(5,−1,0) and the plane given by 4x+2y−z=3.4x+2y−z=3.
Parallel and Intersecting Planes
We have discussed the various possible relationships between two lines in two dimensions and three dimensions. When we describe the relationship between two planes in space, we have only two possibilities: the two distinct planes are parallel or they intersect. When two planes are parallel, their normal vectors are parallel. When two planes intersect, the intersection is a line (Figure 2.71).
Figure 2.71 The intersection of two nonparallel planes is always a line.
We can use the equations of the two planes to find parametric equations for the line of intersection.
Finding the Line of Intersection for Two Planes
Find parametric and symmetric equations for the line formed by the intersection of the planes given by x+y+z=0x+y+z=0 and 2x−y+z=02x−y+z=0 (see the following figure).
Note that the two planes have nonparallel normals, so the planes intersect. Further, the origin satisfies each equation, so we know the line of intersection passes through the origin. Add the plane equations so we can eliminate the one of the variables, in this case, y:y:
x+y+z=02x−y+z=0____________________3x+2z=0.x+y+z=02x−y+z=0____________________3x+2z=0.
This gives us x=−23z.x=−23z. We substitute this value into the first equation to express yy in terms of z:z:
x+y+z=0−23z+y+z=0y+13z=0y=−13z.x+y+z=0−23z+y+z=0y+13z=0y=−13z.
We now have the first two variables, xx and y,y, in terms of the third variable, z.z. Now we define zz in terms of t.t. To eliminate the need for fractions, we choose to define the parameter tt as t=−13z.t=−13z. Then, z=−3t.z=−3t. Substituting the parametric representation of zz back into the other two equations, we see that the parametric equations for the line of intersection are x=2t,y=t,z=−3t.x=2t,y=t,z=−3t. The symmetric equations for the line are x2=y=z−3.x2=y=z−3.
Find parametric equations for the line formed by the intersection of planes x+y−z=3x+y−z=3 and 3x−y+3z=5.3x−y+3z=5.
In addition to finding the equation of the line of intersection between two planes, we may need to find the angle formed by the intersection of two planes. For example, builders constructing a house need to know the angle where different sections of the roof meet to know whether the roof will look good and drain properly. We can use normal vectors to calculate the angle between the two planes. We can do this because the angle between the normal vectors is the same as the angle between the planes. Figure 2.72 shows why this is true.
Figure 2.72 The angle between two planes has the same measure as the angle between the normal vectors for the planes.
We can find the measure of the angle θ between two intersecting planes by first finding the cosine of the angle, using the following equation:
cosθ=|n1·n2|‖n1‖‖n2‖.cosθ=|n1·n2|‖n1‖‖n2‖.
We can then use the angle to determine whether two planes are parallel or orthogonal or if they intersect at some other angle.
Finding the Angle between Two Planes
Determine whether each pair of planes is parallel, orthogonal, or neither. If the planes are intersecting, but not orthogonal, find the measure of the angle between them. Give the answer in radians and round to two decimal places.
x+2y−z=8and2x+4y−2z=10x+2y−z=8and2x+4y−2z=10
2x−3y+2z=3and6x+2y−3z=12x−3y+2z=3and6x+2y−3z=1
x+y+z=4andx−3y+5z=1x+y+z=4andx−3y+5z=1
The normal vectors for these planes are n1=〈1,2,−1〉n1=〈1,2,−1〉 and n2=〈2,4,−2〉.n2=〈2,4,−2〉. These two vectors are scalar multiples of each other. The normal vectors are parallel, so the planes are parallel.
The normal vectors for these planes are n1=〈2,−3,2〉n1=〈2,−3,2〉 and n2=〈6,2,−3〉.n2=〈6,2,−3〉. Taking the dot product of these vectors, we have
n1·n2=〈2,−3,2〉·〈6,2,−3〉=2(6)−3(2)+2(−3)=0.n1·n2=〈2,−3,2〉·〈6,2,−3〉=2(6)−3(2)+2(−3)=0.
The normal vectors are orthogonal, so the corresponding planes are orthogonal as well.
The normal vectors for these planes are n1=〈1,1,1〉n1=〈1,1,1〉 and n2=〈1,−3,5〉:n2=〈1,−3,5〉:
cosθ=|n1·n2|‖n1‖‖n2‖=|〈1,1,1〉·〈1,−3,5〉|12+12+1212+(−3)2+52=3105.cosθ=|n1·n2|‖n1‖‖n2‖=|〈1,1,1〉·〈1,−3,5〉|12+12+1212+(−3)2+52=3105.
The angle between the two planes is 1.271.27 rad, or approximately 73°.73°.
Find the measure of the angle between planes x+y−z=3x+y−z=3 and 3x−y+3z=5.3x−y+3z=5. Give the answer in radians and round to two decimal places.
When we find that two planes are parallel, we may need to find the distance between them. To find this distance, we simply select a point in one of the planes. The distance from this point to the other plane is the distance between the planes.
Previously, we introduced the formula for calculating this distance in Equation 2.19:
d=QP→·n‖n‖,d=QP→·n‖n‖,
where QQ is a point on the plane, PP is a point not on the plane, and nn is the normal vector that passes through point Q.Q. Consider the distance from point (x0,y0,z0)(x0,y0,z0) to plane ax+by+cz+k=0.ax+by+cz+k=0. Let (x1,y1,z1)(x1,y1,z1) be any point in the plane. Substituting into the formula yields
d=|a(x0−x1)+b(y0−y1)+c(z0−z1)|a2+b2+c2=|ax0+by0+cz0+k|a2+b2+c2.d=|a(x0−x1)+b(y0−y1)+c(z0−z1)|a2+b2+c2=|ax0+by0+cz0+k|a2+b2+c2.
We state this result formally in the following theorem.
Distance from a Point to a Plane
Let P(x0,y0,z0)P(x0,y0,z0) be a point. The distance from PP to plane ax+by+cz+k=0ax+by+cz+k=0 is given by
d=|ax0+by0+cz0+k|a2+b2+c2.d=|ax0+by0+cz0+k|a2+b2+c2.
Finding the Distance between Parallel Planes
Find the distance between the two parallel planes given by 2x+y−z=22x+y−z=2 and 2x+y−z=8.2x+y−z=8.
Point (1,0,0)(1,0,0) lies in the first plane. The desired distance, then, is
d=|ax0+by0+cz0+k|a2+b2+c2=|2(1)+1(0)+(−1)(0)+(−8)|22+12+(−1)2=66=6.d=|ax0+by0+cz0+k|a2+b2+c2=|2(1)+1(0)+(−1)(0)+(−8)|22+12+(−1)2=66=6.
Find the distance between parallel planes 5x−2y+z=65x−2y+z=6 and 5x−2y+z=−3.5x−2y+z=−3.
Distance between Two Skew Lines
Figure 2.73 Industrial pipe installations often feature pipes running in different directions. How can we find the distance between two skew pipes?
Finding the distance from a point to a line or from a line to a plane seems like a pretty abstract procedure. But, if the lines represent pipes in a chemical plant or tubes in an oil refinery or roads at an intersection of highways, confirming that the distance between them meets specifications can be both important and awkward to measure. One way is to model the two pipes as lines, using the techniques in this chapter, and then calculate the distance between them. The calculation involves forming vectors along the directions of the lines and using both the cross product and the dot product.
The symmetric forms of two lines, L1L1 and L2,L2, are
L1:x−x1a1=y−y1b1=z−z1c1L2:x−x2a2=y−y2b2=z−z2c2.L1:x−x1a1=y−y1b1=z−z1c1L2:x−x2a2=y−y2b2=z−z2c2.
You are to develop a formula for the distance dd between these two lines, in terms of the values a1,b1,c1;a2,b2,c2;x1,y1,z1;andx2,y2,z2.a1,b1,c1;a2,b2,c2;x1,y1,z1;andx2,y2,z2. The distance between two lines is usually taken to mean the minimum distance, so this is the length of a line segment or the length of a vector that is perpendicular to both lines and intersects both lines.
First, write down two vectors, v1v1 and v2,v2, that lie along L1L1 and L2,L2, respectively.
Find the cross product of these two vectors and call it N.N. This vector is perpendicular to v1andv2,v1andv2, and hence is perpendicular to both lines.
From vector N,N, form a unit vector nn in the same direction.
Use symmetric equations to find a convenient vector v12v12 that lies between any two points, one on each line. Again, this can be done directly from the symmetric equations.
The dot product of two vectors is the magnitude of the projection of one vector onto the other—that is, A·B=‖A‖‖B‖cosθ,A·B=‖A‖‖B‖cosθ, where θθ is the angle between the vectors. Using the dot product, find the projection of vector v12v12 found in step 44 onto unit vector nn found in step 3. This projection is perpendicular to both lines, and hence its length must be the perpendicular distance dd between them. Note that the value of dd may be negative, depending on your choice of vector v12v12 or the order of the cross product, so use absolute value signs around the numerator.
Check that your formula gives the correct distance of |−25|/198≈1.78|−25|/198≈1.78 between the following two lines:
L1:x−52=y−34=z−13L2:x−63=y−15=z7.L1:x−52=y−34=z−13L2:x−63=y−15=z7.
Is your general expression valid when the lines are parallel? If not, why not? (Hint: What do you know about the value of the cross product of two parallel vectors? Where would that result show up in your expression for d?)d?)
Demonstrate that your expression for the distance is zero when the lines intersect. Recall that two lines intersect if they are not parallel and they are in the same plane. Hence, consider the direction of nn and v12.v12. What is the result of their dot product?
Consider the following application. Engineers at a refinery have determined they need to install support struts between many of the gas pipes to reduce damaging vibrations. To minimize cost, they plan to install these struts at the closest points between adjacent skewed pipes. Because they have detailed schematics of the structure, they are able to determine the correct lengths of the struts needed, and hence manufacture and distribute them to the installation crews without spending valuable time making measurements.
The rectangular frame structure has the dimensions 4.0×15.0×10.0m4.0×15.0×10.0m (height, width, and depth). One sector has a pipe entering the lower corner of the standard frame unit and exiting at the diametrically opposed corner (the one farthest away at the top); call this L1.L1. A second pipe enters and exits at the two different opposite lower corners; call this L2L2 (Figure 2.74).
Figure 2.74 Two pipes cross through a standard frame unit.
Write down the vectors along the lines representing those pipes, find the cross product between them from which to create the unit vector n,n, define a vector that spans two points on each line, and finally determine the minimum distance between the lines. (Take the origin to be at the lower corner of the first pipe.) Similarly, you may also develop the symmetric equations for each line and substitute directly into your formula.

Lunchbox Cafe
Grilled Paninis
Grab & Go Sandwich
Kids Healthy Meal
Margo Cordner grew up on Orcas Island, went to school at the Art Institute of Seattle, and has lived in Ellensburg since 2002. She has worked in the restaurant business for about 16 years on and off. Margo first started as a server, prep cook, and baker at the Deer Harbor Inn on Orcas Island. She has also worked as a hostess and server at a cafe in Seattle before moving to Ellensburg where she worked as a cook and kitchen manager at the Yellow Church Cafe for 10 years.
Margo has worked at Lunchbox Cafe for 3 1/2 years and became the owner in June of 2016.
Margo believes that people should try Lunchbox if they're tired of the same old options for lunch. She says, "we have tasty and healthy options that are just as fast and convenient as going to a chain restaurant. It's great for people that have special dietary needs, such as vegetarian, vegan, or gluten free. We do a lot of customizing!"
Lunchbox Cafe is an active member of the Ellensburg community. Margo caters boxed lunches locally. Lunchbox is especially interested in giving to local causes that have to do with ending hunger, helping animals, and the environment. | {

Outer Reaches present new album by experimental duo Leyden Jars
Home / Music / Outer Reaches present...
The Outer Reaches label will release a new album by the London based experimental duo Leyden Jars on October 30th.
Entitled 'Gone' & formed of ten tracks produced over the course of a two year period, the album is described as a work 'of fragmented musicality, electro-acoustic emission, disembodied dub, radiophonic interference, & revelatory DIY poetics', one that displays common ground with the likes of Tod Dockstader, Beatriz Ferreyra, Broadcast, & Movietone.
Comprised of Natalie Williams & Mark Courtney, the Leyden Jars project first emerged in 2015 with their debut EP 'Force, Matter & Energy', and subsequently issued a highly recommended series of releases on the influential underground imprint Mordant Music. Their last outing came in the form of 2018's 'Almost Nothing', a self-released collection of heavily overdubbed live recordings.
The duo describe 'Gone' as an exploration of 'absence', themetically concerned with 'the gap between an old cycle & what comes next', a sentiment that now feels 'weirdly prescient'.
Listen to the lead track 'London Gone' below.
Gone by Leyden Jars
'Gone' is released on Limited Edition Cassette & Download on October 30th.
Download available via Bandcamp only.

SUPER 6 loses 2 more members!
Unfortunately to start this season, we've lost 2 more members of the legendary SUPER 6 group that scorched teams mercilessly. Scott Waller and Cory Gelowitz (for the 3rd time) have left our team. This leaves Curt Keil, Darren Carlson and Scott Gherasim to continue to carry that torch.
For his 3rd departure from the team, Cory cited a 'change of schedule' being the cause!
Welcome back to Cory Gelowitz and Scott Gherasim. 5 of the 6 players now back from the 'glory' years, when we had 2 #1 lines that scored at will!
This season if we had more subs than regular players in the lineup, the stats weren't counted and was called an exhibition game. So far we've had 8 'exhibition' games.
It was not so jokingly said that the qualifications for playing for the Cyclones were as follows: you had to love the game, you had to be a team player, you had to have a sense of humour (even if it might be weird) and last but not least you could never, ever take yourself too seriously. | {

Energogen's aim is to provide its customers professional renewable energy consulting and quality design. One of the challenges in finding a solar energy system that operates to its maximum potential and makes profit is finding the design that meets client's wishes and goals. It's our job to prepare cost-benefit analysis and to find the optimal systems for our clients.
To show our clients that we contribute to quality, we are always ready to show our previous installations and introduce clients, whose feedback is valuable for our future clients. We are able to provide you quality through our experience and our high-quality products from our partners, which will save energy costs for many years. Energogen has installed solar panels on private homes, offices and warehouses, apartment association and public buildings.
– connect your PV system with the grid and if necessary then help to apply for the permits from the local government, etc.
Every client is important to us and therefore our goal is to make the process of switching to solar an effortless experience. To reassure that we support our clients thoroughly, we have prepared our payment terms so that the last payment will be required after our client's PV system is officially connected with the grid. | {

Caspar Vopel (1511–1561) was a German cartographer and instrument maker. Born in Medebach, he studied mathematics and medicine at the University of Cologne in 1526–1529. He taught mathematics at the Gymnasium of Cologne and in the early 1530s established a workshop to produce celestial and terrestrial globes, armillary spheres, sundials, quadrants and astrolabes. An exemplar of Vopel's 1536 globe is held at Tenri University Library, Nara. In 1545 he began to prepare maps and atlases. His mappemonde of 1545 is titled NOVA ET INTEGRA VNIVERSALISQVE ORBIS TOTIVS IVXTA GERMANVM NEOTERICORVM TRADITIONEM DESCRIPTIO (A New Complete and Universal Description of the Whole World, according to the Modern German Tradition).
Vopel is sometimes credited with the promotion of the ancient asterism Coma Berenices to constellation status.

Urban Farming in Detroit: What is Old is New Again
Detroit workers compensation lawyer explains how agricultural employees can be excluded from coverage and why the law must be changed to reflect the new reality of urban farming.
The City of Detroit stands at a crossroads. Hundreds of acres of land sit vacant and decay has gripped our community. Urban farming has been seen as one possible solution and is starting to gain traction.
Urban farming is not just your local gardener who grows food. It has the potential to become big business with exports of agricultural products around the country and world.
The Detroit Free Press recently reported on a plan by Michigan State University to build an urban-agricultural research center that could grow into a 100-acre campus and a $100-million investment. The idea is to turn the City of Detroit into a central hub for cutting edge agricultural research. Research efforts would include "vertical agriculture," in which food is grown inside multi-story buildings.
Urban farming is a new industry based on an old idea. We imagine a new generation of agricultural employees performing their jobs in urban environments and being exposed to all kinds of new dangers.
Michigan law requires most employers to purchase workers compensation insurance for their employees. This requirement is intended to protect both the employer and the employee in the event of a workplace injury or illness.
Michigan adopted its first workers compensation law in 1912. The law was a compromise between employer and employee interests. The employer gets protection from civil lawsuits while the employee is guaranteed payment of medical and wage loss benefits.
Michigan's workers compensation system is not perfect but it has worked for 100 years and served as a model for several other states.
Agricultural employees excluded
In 1965, the Michigan Legislature revisited workers compensation and exempted smaller agricultural employers from having to purchase coverage.
Legislative history shows a concern that bringing all agricultural employees into the workers compensation system would be too costly for some agricultural employers. Many of these agricultural employees were farmers themselves, farm wives, sons, daughters, and other relatives. It was estimated that the aggregate number of full time hired farm workers was only between three and five thousand persons at this time.
The solution was to carve out and exempt certain classes of agricultural employers from having to purchase workers compensation insurance. This has resulted in a complicated statutory scheme that leaves out many agricultural employees who suffer legitimate injuries.
For example, we currently represent an individual who was paralyzed from a work accident on a farm. The insurance company concluded that since his employer had less than 3 employees and he was only paid on a piecework basis, he was not covered under workers compensation. He has never received a dime for wage loss benefits even though he is totally disabled.
An easy fix
Urban farming could lead to a huge increase in the number of people working in the field of agriculture. Many new businesses will attempt to ride this wave of innovation. The most vulnerable and lowest paid will certainly be the agricultural workers themselves.
Our Legislature could not have envisioned urban farming and the potential dangers that these employees may face. Michigan law should be amended to correct this imbalance. Agricultural employers should be required to purchase workers compensation insurance just like all other private employers in the state.

Use of Government Position and Resources all OGE

Home | Use of Government Position and Resources | Use of Government Equipment or Property
Use of Government Equipment or Property
Executive branch employees have a duty to protect and conserve Government property and may not use Government property, or allow its use, for any purpose other than the one that is authorized.
Government Property
The term "Government property" includes real or personal property that the Government owns or leases such as:
telecommunications equipment;
computers;
office supplies;
Government mail systems; or
Authorized Purpose
A purpose is authorized if:
there is a law or regulation that allows the property to be used for that purpose; or
it is a purpose for which the Government property is made available to members of the public. For example, a national park recreation area is Government property that is available to the members of the public, including Government employees, for their use.
Examples of prohibited conduct
Example 1: Will, an executive branch employee, coaches his daughter's soccer team. He uses his Government computer to type and reproduce the game and practice schedules for the soccer team.
Example 2: Barbara works for a Federal executive branch agency and is an avid gardening enthusiast in her spare time. She wants to have pens and paper pads on hand for notetakers at the garden club meetings at her house, so she borrows some from her agency's supply cabinet.
Examples of permissible conduct
Example 1: Under the regulations of her agency, Beth may use a Government telephone to call family members to let them know that she will be working late or to call to arrange for home or car repairs.
Example 2: In accordance with Office of Personnel Management regulations at 5 C.F.R. part 251, an attorney employed by the Department of Justice may be permitted to use her office computer and an agency photocopier to prepare a paper to be presented at a conference sponsored by a professional association of which she is a member. | {

We worked with DPA to design a number of specials including these custom pendants with High Output LED strip for 8 St James's Square in London. Both linear and cruciform pendants compliment the linear profile of the ceiling detail. We also supplied some of our Badger and Mole exterior uplights to the façades of this rejuvenated office building. | {

I've always been partial to the phrase coined by John Kirton, the Director of the G8 Research group – "two great galaxies of global governance." Now Kirton and colleagues were referencing, on the one hand the "hard law" treaty-based system of UN-Bretton Woods institutions. The other was the far more informal summit-based system of Gx institutions. I am drawn to the phrase in part because it focuses on the multiplicity of institutions that have been created in the two galaxies. Particularly in the case of the Gx system it draws attention away from the summit of leaders and toward a system built on leaders meetings but also a vast array of transgovernmental networks. And although there has been an effort to limit the variety of ministerial meetings in the G20 – limiting these to foreign affairs and finance – there remain many regular and ad hoc task forces and working groups that were created by the G7 and continue today.
The point is that these the informal global governance systems is exactly that – a system; yes a leaders summit but built on a large administrative structure of support that includes a variety of transgovernmental networks. And it seems even in the emergence of the G20 leaders summit that a number of the transgovernmental networks continue to be active and effective. Most notably the G7 finance ministers continues to play a significant role. In the intense negotiation over the rescue package for Europe – and largely ignored I suspect – the G7 finance ministers – were engaged in the bargaining among the key leaders from France and Germany and others. The longstanding G7 finance ministers have won continuing respect. This transgovernmental network remains involved in the global financial crisis and now in the European debt crisis. An effective global governance network for sure. | {

Structex were commissioned in 2010 to provide structural engineering services for a $40m landmark winery facility for Marisco Vineyards Ltd in the Waihopai Valley. Dubbed "The Rock Project" due to its 14m high double skinned gabion walls, the winery includes many time and cost saving innovations: the roof, ceiling and fixed wine lines were preassembled on the ground and lifted into position in sections to meet pressing timeframes and eliminate safety and access challenges; mechanical services are hidden away in underground tunnels; and the walls constructed in purpose-made stainless steel gabions mounted onto a modular steel structure.
Structex worked with Apollo Projects on the delivery of this renowned $35m, 10,000 tonne winery facility on a green field site near Seddon. The highly acclaimed project included numerous landmark and award-winning sustainable features. Work has continued since the first vintage, as the winery continues to expand to meet production growth, and included a rapid response to the 2013 Seddon earthquake that caused extensive damage to the wine tanks.
Pernod Ricard re-development was an earthquake recovery project that included carrying out repairs and replacing earthquake-damaged wine tanks and infrastructure. The project was broken into multiple stages carried out over two years. The end result has been a significant upgrade to the facility, with a strong focus on usability for the winery staff. This included changing the winery layout, constructing new slabs and installing 'ground level' tanks to remove the need for catwalks.
Structex planned and designed this $12m, 6000 tonne green field winery in the Cloudy Bay Business Park near Blenheim. The main building is 3100 m2 and includes a two storey office and amenities building. The process flow was designed to take advantage of the sloping site.
Structex have been a key partner to Indevin since their inception. The input has gone beyond structural engineering to master planning, tank design and earthquake repairs. | {

How Might a No-Deal Brexit Impact Your Organisation's Data Protection Obligations?
By Ann J. LaFrance & Chloe Rankin on January 15, 2019
The UK Parliament has today, 15th January 2019, rejected the Government's Brexit withdrawal agreement with the EU. This turn of events, which was widely anticipated, increases the prospect of a no deal Brexit, i.e. a break-up without a divorce settlement. According to law, the UK will leave the EU from 11pm GMT on 29th March 2019 with no deal unless Parliament has accepted the withdrawal agreement, or a modified version of it, or a new…

Data Protection Compliance: Do You Have an Appropriate Policy Document in Place?
By Ann J. LaFrance & Emma Yaltaghian on October 7, 2018
Just because 25 May 2018 has passed does not mean that data protection compliance has ended!

Proposed e-Privacy Regulation in Trilogue Phase Making May 2018 Enforcement Unlikely
By Ann J. LaFrance & Matt Buckwell on December 10, 2017
Nearly a year ago, on 10 January 2017, the EU Commission released the proposed ePrivacy Regulation (ePR). The three main areas covered by the legislation are the use of electronic communications data by telecommunications operators and other specified entities, the use of tracking applications, and unsolicited direct marketing communications.

New Music: Jennifer Hudson & T.I. Make Each Other 'Feel' Good On New Track
Posted By Jonathan Hailey, Assistant Editor
Singer/actress Jennifer Hudson has been away from music for a bit while she filmed a few movie roles. Now she's back to singing and has recently dropped a new song with the King of the South T.I. Entitled, "I Can't Describe (The Way I Feel)," the song finds J Hud and T.I. on the dance floor getting their party on because love just makes them feel so good.
Over the Pharrell Williams-produced disco tune, Jennifer Hudson sings, "I just can't put in words what I feel for you/ It feels so good it hurts." T.I. uses his verse to explain exactly how he is going to keep the woman in his life satisfied.
Jennifer Hudson is currently hard at work on her third album with producers like Salaam Remi, RedOne, and Timbaland. Producer RedOne said of the album, "It's not dance dance, but it's soulful dance. It's very '70s kinda style." The soulful dance style J Hud is going for on this record is a total departure from the mid-tempo grooves and ballads of her last album "I Remember Me." We'll have to wait and see how it sounds when it drops sometime next year.

Tinnitus is chronic and often distressing ringing, buzzing or humming type sound in one or both ears. This condition can have a variety of causes which include exposure to loud noise or an explosion, long term use of aspirin, beta blockers and antibiotics, compacted ear wax or even spinal or cranial misalignment which can reduce circulation to the ears. In some cases it is also linked to food intolerances. Tinnitus is more common in older people, but is appearing in younger people who are over being exposed to excessively loud music.
Avoid alcohol, smoking, and caffeine, all of which may aggravate the condition. Cut down on salt, which may increase fluid build up in the ear. Avoid all full fat cow's milk ( and all full fat milks) and produce for two weeks as they are mucus forming which can contribute to blocked ears and sinuses. Generally cut down on saturated fats such as red meat, cheese, chocolate, highly refined white flour based foods, pies, pastries, biscuits etc. Yeast based foods such as Marmite, Bovril and yeasty breads can also make this problem worse. Don't use hard margarines or highly refined cooking oils and eliminate fried foods. Read labels carefully and avoid any foods containing hydrogenated or trans fats.
Eat plenty of garlic and onions which are very cleansing to the sinuses and gut. Choose low fat dairy options such as fully skimmed milk or cottage cheeses. Use organic rice milk for making porridge and over cereals and try live, low fat yoghurts in desserts instead of creams. Generally increase fruits and fresh vegetables and include more nutritious foods such as lentils, barley and corn, rice and spelt based pastas in your diet. Jacket potatoes are a wonderful food, but add low fat yoghurt instead of lots of butter or use a non hydrogenated spread such as Vitaquell or Biona.
Recordings of soothing music or sounds help to mask the unwanted noise, especially when you are trying to get to sleep.
Regular exercise may provide relief by increasing blood circulation to the head. Practice relaxation techniques.
Place a few drops of eucalyptus oil in a bowl of boiling water and inhale the steam daily to help clear the sinuses.
Have your teeth and gums checked as impacted wisdom teeth and tooth decay can cause this problem.
When we grind our teeth over many years the jaw can be misaligned, this is known as TMJ (Temporo-Mandibular Joint Syndrome). Dentists who specialize in treating TMJ problems can make a small brace to be worn at night, which helps to hold the jaw in its correct position, which often alleviates tinnitus.
Cranial osteopathy or chiropractic can release built-up tensions in the head and neck, which often cause tinnitus. Acupuncture has proved very beneficial to some sufferers.
Find your nearest practitioner in the Yellow Pages. Tinnitus helpline, 9.00 am – 5.00 pm, Monday to Friday. Freephone number 0808 808 6666.

Really enjoying learning more about everyone, keep it coming.

Other Interests/Hobbies: Tactical Shooting, DE's, Anything Porsche (lurking around Jack's garage), virtual flight, RC Models and plastics.

The suede jacket, in my opinion, in a must have for any wardrobe. It's a great staple that works throughout the seasons making it one of the most versatile pieces I own. There are some things which I'm happy to spend a little more money on, investments if you will, my new Saint Laurent boots (as seen on my Instagram) or my Chloe Faye bag for example. A suede jacket is one of those pieces which I was more than prepared to spend the extra dolla on, whether it be a more premium branded jacket or an extra special vintage style. Imagine my surprise when I stumbled upon a whole range of more than affordable suede jackets from a high street fave of mine, Forever 21.
Yes, this jacket is from Forever 21 and it is genuine suede. You may remember seeing a few other suede numbers from this collection in some of my previous posts; this olive green trench and this black biker. Paying under £60 for a suede jacket is my idea of a bloody good bargain and as always I want to shout it from the rooftops! | {

The Graf Spee Team, headed by Hector Bado was awarded the necessary permits to recover and salvage the Graf Spee from its location in the Rio de la Plata (River Plate) near Montevideo, Uruguay. These permits were issued in the spring of 2003. In effect, the Graf Spee Team is now the owner of the ship.
The Team intends to raise the Graf Spee as intact as is possible and to use her as an educational and historical showpiece so that future generations can better understand the sacrifices that men have made in war.
Many individuals and corporations have already shown an interest in purchasing or sponsoring specific elements of the vessel. Revenue from some salvaged elements will be used to finance the removal and preservation of the hull. | {
