Market Extra: Here's where ETF investors plan to put money to work in coming year – and how their generational attitudes shake out, Schwab study finds
By September 13, 2022 26 views
Many investors in exchange-traded funds are unrattled by market volatility in 2022 and are planning to take risks in areas such as U.S. equity and cryptocurrency ETFs in the coming year, according to a study by Charles Schwab Corp.'s asset management arm.
About half of ETF investors did not alter their portfolios due to market disruptions including soaring inflation, rising interest rates, Russia's invasion of Ukraine and market volatility, while nearly one-third put more money into exchange-traded funds as a result, Schwab Asset Management said in its annual probe of the ETF market. The survey for its study, conducted June 13 – June 28, covered individual investors with at least $25,000 in investable assets.
The top types of funds that ETF investors plan to buy in the year ahead include U.S. equities, real assets, fixed income and cryptocurrencies. Almost half of those surveyed favored crypto.
CHARLES SCHWAB ETFS AND BEYOND STUDY
"ETF investors tend to be a little bit more on the leading edge of the types of strategies that they're investing in," said David Botset, head of equity product management and innovation at Schwab Asset Management, in a phone interview. They're expressing "a willingness to look at other strategies that they may have not used in the past."
ETFs are becoming a larger portion of portfolios, with newer categories such as actively managed, thematic and environmental, social and governance criteria "gaining steam" as investors look to personalize their holdings, Schwab found.
Among specialty ETFs, the Schwab study shows that dividend, long-short, leveraged and actively managed funds are expected to be the most popular over the next year.
"There are far more options available" today among actively-managed ETFs versus a few years ago, although passive, index-based strategies still dominate, said Botset. He said investors are increasingly considering active ETFs as an alternative to actively-managed mutual funds.
Thematic ETFs, meanwhile, are a way for investors to personalize their investments while capturing trends that may span across sectors, said Botset. For example, the blockchain technology underlying cryptocurrencies has a "wide potential array" of uses, he said, pointing to discussions around using it for records in the medical industry or to share college transcripts.

Shares of the fund jumped 1.3% Monday, bringing its gain so far this month to 8.5%. Still, the ETF remained down around 4% since its inception, FactSet data show.
Schwab also probed the attitudes of different generations of ETF investors.
Millennials are more interested in aligning their investments with their personal beliefs and values, and more inclined to further personalize their portfolios in 2023, the survey found.

ETFs, which trade like a stock and typically provide exposure to a basket of securities, are becoming a larger part of investment portfolios.
Schwab's study shows that ETFs now make up 33% of portfolios, up from 27% five years ago. Surveyed ETF investors expect that portion will rise to 40% in the next five years.
Investors like the fact that they can easily buy and sell ETFs as they seek to diversify their portfolios, along with their low cost and tax efficiency, said Botset. Total cost remains the top factor that ETF investors consider "extremely important" when selecting a fund, Schwab found.

In separate Freedom Enrolment Ceremonies held at the Chamberlain's Court of the City of London at Guildhall, Ajayi and Okutubo declared that: "I do solemnly swear that I will be good and true to our Sovereign Lady Queen Elizabeth the Second; that I will be obedient to the Mayor of this City; that I will maintain the Franchises and Customs thereof, and will keep this City harmless, in that which in me is; that I will also keep the Queen's Peace in my own person; that I will know no Gatherings nor Conspiracies made against the Queen's Peace, but I will warn the Mayor thereof, or hinder it to my power; and that all these points and articles I will well and truly keep, according to the Laws and Customs of this City, to my power."

The Freedom of the City of London is the most established Borough Freedom that is conferred in England and was first recorded in 1239.
In medieval times, the Freedom of the City of London meant someone who was not the property of a feudal lord but enjoyed privileges such as the right to earn money and own land in the City of London (The Square Mile).
From the Middle Ages and the Victorian era, the Freedom was the right to trade, enabling members of a Guild or Livery to carry out their trade or craft in the Square Mile - ensuring that the goods and services provided were of the highest possible standards.
In 1835, the Freedom was widened to incorporate not just members of Livery Companies but also people living or working in the City or those with a strong London connection.
Today, the Freedom of the City remains as a unique part of London's history to which many people who have lived or worked in the City have been proud to be admitted.
Freemen's children get admission preference at the City of London Freemen's School.
There are a number of rights traditionally but apocryphally associated with Freemen - the right to drive sheep and cattle over London Bridge; to a silken rope, if hanged; to carry a naked sword in public; or that if the City of London Police finds a Freeman drunk and incapable, they will bundle him or her into a taxi and send them home rather than throw them into a cell.
While sheep have occasionally been driven over London Bridge on special occasions especially to raise funds for charity, the rest of these "privileges" are no longer applicable and now effectively symbolic.

Intergovernmental relations: a blueprint for reform
Posted on November 20, 2018 by The Constitution Unit
Since the Brexit referendum in 2016, the case for an overhaul of the management of intergovernmental relations has become much stronger. Jack Sheldon explains that in a new report, he and his colleagues have advanced the first detailed proposals for reform of the existing arrangements. These include formalising and restructuring the current ad hoc system, implementing a method of consensus decision-making, and increasing the transparency of the system.
It is widely agreed that the ad hoc and under-developed arrangements for relations between the UK government and the devolved governments in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are in urgent need of an overhaul. Even before the vote to leave the EU, several parliamentary committees, leading politicians and a number of constitutional experts called for reform. Since 2016 the case has only become stronger. Brexit-related 'IGR' has been marked by sharp disagreement over policy and process, against the background of low trust between governments. And it is envisaged that IGR will assume greater importance in the coming years, given the need to implement, govern and review 'common frameworks' in devolved areas currently covered by EU law.
In a new report Professor Nicola McEwen, Professor Michael Kenny, Dr Coree Brown Swan and I advance proposals for reform of the Joint Ministerial Committee (JMC) structure – the primary forum within which formal IGR takes place. While the need to renew the JMC has frequently been recognised in recent years, few detailed proposals have been made. We seek to fill this gap, setting out 27 conclusions and recommendations. Our report is also distinctive in drawing heavily on experience of IGR in five broadly comparable multi-level political systems – Australia, Belgium, Canada, Italy and Spain. We were invited to produce the report by officials in the UK and devolved governments who are currently working on a review of IGR commissioned by the JMC itself, and hope that our conclusions will help to shape thinking as the review proceeds.
Principles of IGR
Existing principles underpinning intergovernmental relations, as articulated in the Memorandum of Understanding on devolution, are broadly stated and prone to being interpreted very differently by the various parties involved. For example, what amounts to 'good' communication and what is 'practicable' with respect to information exchange are matters of (often diverging) judgement.
We suggest that a review of principles underlying IGR, with the aim of achieving greater clarity, would be desirable. We do not make detailed recommendations about what these principles should be, but draw out four principles that could offer a useful starting point for discussions and which inform the conclusions we reach elsewhere in the report:
Respect for the authority of different governments across the UK
Recognising that the reality of modern government in a multi-level political system requires some degree of intergovernmental co-operation
Taking a proportionate approach to the development of intergovernmental processes, so that mechanisms and forums are established only when necessary to serve a mutually agreed purpose
The need to commit to greater transparency than at present
Machinery of IGR
We propose several relatively straightforward reforms that we believe could greatly improve the functioning and operation of the JMC. One of these is to establish a regular schedule of annual or biannual meetings of heads of government, rather than arranging meetings on an ad hoc basis. This would give the meetings higher status and help to alleviate diary problems that have sometimes led to long gaps between meetings. We also recommend taking the symbolically important step of routinely rotating the location of JMC plenary meetings between Belfast, Cardiff, Edinburgh and London, instead of meeting in London by default, and suggest that consideration should be given to rotating the chair accordingly.
With the current context firmly in mind, we argue for two additional JMC sub-committees to be established – on the UK's Internal Market (for strategic oversight of the common framework negotiations) and on Trade (to provide for devolved input into the UK position as it embarks upon international trade negotiations). We also recommend that the existing JMC (Europe) should continue, given that governments will need to maintain close relations with the EU under any Brexit scenario.
We make a further recommendation that consideration be given to establishing a standing joint secretariat for intergovernmental relations, along the lines of Canada's Intergovernmental Conference Secretariat. This would be staffed by secondees from each government and serve a primarily administrative function in supporting the JMC structure. It would not displace the critical role of senior officials from each government but would be designed to relieve them of the growing organisational burden.
It is a common theme in many of the parliamentary committee reports on IGR to call for a statutory underpinning. We recognise the arguments for placing elements of the JMC in statute but suggest that this must be balanced against the benefits of maintaining flexibility. In our view any statutory underpinning should hence be limited to the existence and membership of the JMC, the expectation of annual or biannual meetings and a requirement to report to legislatures.
Co-decision
The current Memorandum of Understanding on devolution explicitly states that the JMC is 'not a decision-making body'. The anticipated role for the JMC in agreeing common frameworks suggests that this will need to change post-Brexit.
Drawing heavily on evidence from our five overseas cases, in all of which co-decision is well established, we recommend that any agreements reached in the JMC should be agreed by consensus. We advise against a majority voting formula, as the logical conclusion of such an approach would be to impose policies or regulatory requirements on one or more government without consent in areas within their competence. Where it is impossible to reach consensus we suggest that it should be possible for those governments that wish to proceed to do so, with others 'opting out'. An 'opt-out' system operates among Canadian governments, and there is also experience of this in Australia.
The governments agreed a Protocol for Avoidance and Resolution of Disputes in 2010. However, this has come in for considerable criticism – particularly given the provision that a JMC disputes panel should be chaired by a UK government minister. We suggest this creates a conflict of interest and undermines the devolved governments' trust in the process.
We propose that a revised Protocol should make provisions for independent intervention in disputes, by agreement of the disputing parties. In some cases it may be possible for the role of mediator to be performed by a government that is not subject to the dispute, or alternatively the role could be filled by a suitably qualified independent individual. The mediator would be able to facilitate discussions and would be empowered to present compromise proposals for the disputing parties to consider.
We additionally suggest that at all stages of a dispute the governments should be able to access independent research from those with expertise on the issue at hand. The standing secretariat that we propose would be well placed to commission such research.
Steps in proposed revised dispute resolution process
English representation
As discussed in a previous blog post, attention has recently been drawn to the absence of distinct English representation on the JMC. Some devolved politicians fear that the UK government's 'dual hat' as representative of both England and the UK as a whole will lead to England receiving favourable treatment in framework negotiations, while in England there are some concerns that English interests might be overlooked.
We call for the issue of English representation to be addressed within the current review, and draw out two possible options for reform, noting that these are not mutually exclusive:
The way the UK government is represented in IGR could be reformed so that the distinction between its UK-wide and English roles is made more overt. This could be achieved by the appointment of a Minister for England, with responsibility for representing English interests in IGR, or by tasking a relevant sectoral minister with representing English interests in JMC forums where appropriate.
A new English Leaders' Forum could be established to provide an institutionalised opportunity for English sub-national leaders to engage with the UK government. The meetings of this body could be arranged to align with a more routinised schedule of JMC meetings, so that English views could be fed in before the UK government meets the devolved governments. The precise composition of the English Leaders' Forum would need careful thought, to ensure it represented all parts of England and not just those with city mayors.
IGR in the UK is notably opaque in comparison to our case studies. At present, dates of meetings are rarely publicised in advance, and afterwards only brief communiques are published.
We propose that more information should be made available, including agendas and position papers. Transparency would be greatly enhanced if these were consolidated on a single, searchable website – equivalent to that of the Council of Australian Governments, or the Italian State-Regions Conference. This would also aid parliamentary accountability.
The full report, Reforming Intergovernmental Relations in the United Kingdom, is available here. A consolidated list of conclusions and recommendations is available here.

SAKURA, Chiba Prefecture--A popular museum here has made a shock decision to sell off all its Japanese paintings, some of which were produced by the nation's greatest artists.
The masterpieces housed at the Kawamura Memorial DIC Museum of Art include the folding-screen painting "Crows and Herons," by Hasegawa Tohaku, which is a government-designated important cultural property.
The Azuchi-Momoyama Period (1568-1600) piece is believed to be the most valuable artwork on its way out.
The two-panel folding screen is Tohaku's magnum opus from his later years, showing a great contrast between the black crows on the left panel and the white herons on the right. The screen, measuring 150 centimeters tall and 350 cm wide, was the first artwork housed by the museum.
The vacated exhibition room for Japanese paintings will be refurbished and reopened showing other works this spring.
The museum is popular for its wide collection of about 1,000 works of art by impressionists, modern painters and other artists. It houses about 20 Japanese drawings, including early modern paintings by Tohaku and Ogata Korin and late modern works by Taikan Yokoyama and Shoen Uemura.
All the masterpieces had been popular among visitors, but the museum ended the exhibition of the paintings in December last year.
The officials are set to deaccession all the artworks to other museums and individuals in Japan.
Under the Law for the Protection of Cultural Properties, owners of cultural properties must report changes in ownership and make efforts for preservation and exhibition. The museum officials said they have already filed the report to the Agency for Cultural Affairs and completed the deaccession process. But details such as the transferees cannot be revealed, they added.
Besides, the officials will proceed with the deaccession of Korin's folding screen painting titled "Willows and Water Birds," Taikan's "Shining Japan" and other great works.
The Kawamura museum was founded in 1990 as a private museum managed by Dainippon Ink and Chemicals, or present-day DIC Corp., on the compound of the company's research laboratory. Its collection is renowned for artworks by a wide variety of artists, including 17th-century painter Rembrandt, modern Western painters ranging from 19th-century French impressionists such as Monet and Renoir to Picasso and Chagall, as well as contemporary artists including Mark Rothko and Jackson Pollock.
In 2013, the museum caused a stir when it sold U.S. abstract expressionist Barnett Newman's "Anna's Light" to an overseas buyer. At the time, the officials revealed that it earned a capital gain of about 10.3 billion yen ($94 million) from the sale, saying that no changes would be made to the operation policy and that they would welcome visitors with a wide-ranging lineup including Japanese art.
The Kawamura museum is currently closed. It will organize an exhibition of its collection starting from March 24.

I notice the same thing in the Detroit area. Sidoku books have replaced the new hardback book section and anime action figures the new paperbacks.
I think this is a pretty common trend. I don't mind all the other stuff they sell in the stores, in fact I quite enjoy them. But I prefer it if they are placed on a different level, or at the back, and not right as you come in. But I understand why they do it, those items probably sell extremely well.
And so the death of the midlist author continues. As the space left on those tiny tables will only be for the megasellers.
What happens when they are only a 100 viable authors left writing all the books for the masses?
Good thing Nora Roberts is prolific.
Amen brother. I notice this mostly in the HUGE MEGA-LOW-MART type stores (Books-a-Million, Walden, Borders).
Like Dee said, what happens when there are only 100 authors left? The public screams and complains because they want more variety, and then the market builds back up again. Supply and Demand, Cyclical market swing - whatever you call it. The midlist will return.
That is, if people would turn off the TV with the 300 channels, get away from the computer, and power down the video games long enough to sit down and appreciate the written word again.

Augment government's efforts to sanitize small scale mining sector – Minister to new Minerals Commission Board
byNerteley Nettey
in Local Economy, Top Stories
Lands and Natural Resources Minister, Samuel Abdulai Jinapor has charged the newly inaugurated board of the Mineral Commission to put in place policies that will augment government's efforts to sanitize the small scale mining sector.
Small-scale mining plays a vital role in Ghana's extractive industry. The Minerals Commission, the country's mining regulator's report indicates that the sector generated over 2 billion dollars from 2016 to 2020.
However, revenues from the sector are dwindling due to reported cases of gold smuggling and the impact of illegal mining.
Speaking at the inauguration of the nine-member board, Samuel Abdulai Jinapor tasked the Board to implement policies that would help Ghana maximize profit from the small scale mining sector.
"You are having to fashion out a framework within which we can strike that delicate, careful balance between promoting responsible small scale mining and jettison illegal mining and its obvious adverse consequences. Where we will have a viable, robust and responsible small scale mining which contributes to the national economy. A lot of people don't appreciate that the contribution of gold to our GDP is enormous and the revenue from the state Gold industry is huge. Indeed small scale mining contributes 40 % of Ghana's gold output.
We are the leading producers of gold in Africa and the 6th in the world because of the contribution of small scale mining. And so the policy of the president is not to frown upon small scale mining. What we are against is irresponsible small scale mining. The board thus has this huge responsibility and the country will be watching how you are going to put in place the policies and framework for management to implement," he said.
Former deputy Lands and Natural Resources Minister, Barbara Oteng Gyasi, who is Commission's new Chairperson, indicated the Commission would in line the President's vision of industrialisation make meaningful interventions for the small scale mining sector to be economically viable in the face of its current challenges.
"We recognise the importance of the minerals commission in the agenda of His Excellency the President, his industrialization agenda and his Ghana beyond aid vision. We know that our minerals will contribute significantly to the realisation of this agenda. If you look at the establishment of Ghana Integrated Iron and Steel Development Corporation, GIISDEC and others. It means that our minerals would contribute to our industrialization and the Ghana beyond aid agenda.
So, we have our work cut out for us. It is not just the Gold but it is all the minerals of the country. Therefore it us important that we look at the entire resources available in the country and develop a framework that will support the country to derive the ultimate benefit from it especially now as industrial minerals are becoming very important in the world," she said.
Members of the nine-member board include, Honourable Barbara Oteng Gyasi, Martin Ayisi, Alhaji Iddrisu Sulemana, Honourable Dakoa Newman, Togbui Awusu III, Honourable Charles Acheampong, James Koligu Ataki, Emmanuel Vincent (ESQ) and Judy Nakuor Crayem.

Oprah's latest book club pick is 'Love Warrior'
Mary Cadden
Oprah Winfrey announced another pick for her book club, Love Warrior: A Memoir, by Glennon Doyle Melton, only weeks after she catapulted Colson Whitehead's Underground Railroad to no. 6 on USA TODAY's Best-Selling Books List. Winfrey's choices have been fewer and further between, with a year-and-a-half separating Underground Railroad from the previous selection, Ruby by Cynthia Bond.
"To have Oprah Winfrey - the woman who taught the world not to fear raw, intimate discussions - help introduce Love Warrior to the world feels like magic to me," Melton said in a press release from the publisher, Flatiron Books. "I trust Oprah, and I'm honored." Melton's memoir depicts the author's personal journey after she discovers her husband's infidelity and "uses her grief and anger as a path to her own redemption." This is the author's second memoir. She published Carry, On Warrior: The Power of Embracing Your Messy, Beautiful Life in 2014.
Winfrey interviews Melton in the October issue of O, The Oprah Magazine, on sale September 13. Melton is also scheduled to appear with Winfrey on OWN's "Super Soul Sunday" this Sunday to discuss how "sharing the truth of our lives is a key to unlocking a true spiritual connection with those around us."
Winfrey began her original book club 20 years ago and made her final selection at the end of 2010. The more recent 2.0 club, which started in 2012, has also included Cheryl Strayed's Wild, Ayana Mathis' The Twelve Tribes of Hattie and The Invention of Wings by Sue Monk Kidd.


Be prepared to sink your teeth into the tender homemade patties and juicy burgers if you are making a trip to The Burger Factory in Subang Jaya, Kota Kemuning or Ara Damansara! It is one of the few burger chains that is open for lunch everyday, serving not only its specialty burgers in beef, chicken, seafood and vegetarian variants but also a good range of Western brunch selections, pizza, pasta, hot dogs, and even fried rice.
The restaurant has an unassuming clean-cut interior, with wooden flooring coupled with white brick walls. The ambiance is added with a touch of fun by lining the floorspace with quirky green and orange furniture. Simply perfect for youngsters and family to dine comfortably.
and often flooded with young crowds especially in the evening.
This is probably the first ever sweet burger that you've heard of! New in the menu, Candylicious is made of charcoal bun which is layered with thick, grilled beef patty (Or you can replace it with grilled chicken breast), crushed Oreo cookies, and oozing peanut butter with strawberry sauce. To make the burger looks even more interesting, it is topped with melted marshmallows which add a chewy texture to the unique combination.
We are totally blown away by the complex texture and flavours of the burger that make it tastes so good! The nicely charred patty is surprisingly delicious when drenched in creamy peanut butter sauce, achieving a balance of sweet and savoury tastes. Also, the crunchy Oreo cookies give a beautiful contrast to the moist grounded beef patty.
Cheese lovers would leap for joy as The Burger Factory has recently invented a new flavour that boasts the goodness of 4 different types of cheese with a fruity touch in it. Sitting between the grilled chicken patty and hash brown, we have melted Cheddar cheese, shredded mozzarella, parmesan cheese and peach cream cheese.
Yes, you did not hear me wrong. The peach cream cheese is an in-house creation that blends real peaches with cream cheese so that the cheese will be slightly sweet, fruity on the palate with a savoury aftertaste. Perhaps the fruitiness is rather mild for us, the sharpness of cheese almost overwhelms the peach flavour.
If you can't decide between burger and pizza, here's a recommendation for you to enjoy the best of both worlds. Topped with a melted Cheddar slice, the pizza dough is stuffed with grilled chicken breast, Mozzarella cheese, parmesan cheese and pizza sauce before being oven-baked to crisp perfection.
Although it may sound heavy for us at first, we end up lapping up every bite of the cheesy goodness that coats the huge chunks of lean chicken breast meat in the pizza burger.
Another star of the fuss-free menu is the Junior Shroom Lover, that uses soft and airy white buns instead of the charcoal ones. It is the first 'green' burger I've ever encountered, and I love the crunchiness of deep-fried portobello mushroom, green pea sprout and sautéed button mushroom!
The bun is already drenched with smoky teriyaki sauce, so you'll expect it to be heavier in flavours without being overly gristly. Well, it is a complete and well-thought through burger because it embodies all the flavours and aromas of vegetarian ingredients without overwhelming the senses.
Don't worry if you are not a fan of burgers because they do serve a variety of Asian and Western delights include pasta, pizza, hot dogs, fried rice, snack, soup and brunch platters. And if your appetite is more than ample, there is always dessert to finish off the sumptuous meal.
The selections of beverages here is equally extensive like its food menu. From juices and mocktails to coffee and tea, we are spoilt with choices that wash down the heavy meal.
1. There are wide varieties of burgers, pasta, pizza, rice, snacks and soups that are surprisingly kind to your pocket!
2. Most food items here are rather salty, but nonetheless very flavourful especially the homemade beef and chicken patties, coupled with creative innovations.

Gunna Coins New Phrase 'Pushin P': What does 'Pushin P' mean
On January 7, 2022, G-Eazy released his newest song called "Pushin' P" with Yung Thug and Future.
Pushin P is the fourth song on G Herbo's latest album, and fans appear to be split over its meaning. What exactly does Pushin P signify? The name of the track intrigued a lot of people that Gunna himself had to clarify it, yet it appears to have left many perplexed.
What Does Pushin P Mean?
The phrase "Pushin P," which is the name of the second track on Gunna's album DS4EVER, can only be understood by the rapper.
"They're talking about what is tea?" "No, it's P. I took out a PPP loan for this. Okay, I'm pushing P-P-P-P-P. You feel me." During an Instagram live with fans, Gunna revealed: "They're talking about what is tea? No, they're talking about P. For this project, I borrowed money under the name of PPP."
Being Loyal Is definitely 🅿
— WUNNA (@1GunnaGunna) January 7, 2022
"You gotta Push P. So this is Pushin P, when you backyard and the inside and outside, that's P. You pushing P," he continued.
Offering more explanation to the same, he added:
"When you go to rent in these things, you Kickin P. When you go to on the Catch and spending your hard-earned, you Pushin P. P don't just mean Playa, P also mean paper too. You could be pushing this P with paper too."

There's More To 'P' According To Gunna
G Herbo went on to expand on the meaning of 'Pushin P'n' in a series of tweets. He tweeted, "Being loyal is most definitely P" and "Now… placing your staff in their rightful positions is P."
From his messages and the Insta live explanation, it appears that the letter 'P' in "Pushin" stands for values or characteristics that Gunna considers important. You may even refer to yourself as "Pushin P," similar to the rapper.
Fans React To Gunna's Latest Track And Its Title
The phrase "Pushin' P" is a trending topic on Twitter. Some are gushing about the song, while the rest are analyzing ' Pushin' P' and its broader meaning.

When city leaders hunker down during the next few weeks over spreadsheets and numbers in the annual exercise to determine what the city can afford, one number won't be on any of the spreadsheets.
In fact, it has been left off and been uncounted year after year since 1999, more than a decade ago.
It's the City Hall count on the number of homeless that died in the city in the past year.
It's information that the city leaders decided we couldn't afford to know.
Halted abruptly in 1999, 12 years after the city began an official count, so far City Hall has resisted all efforts to revive the count of the dead.
On May 13, 2002, then-supervisor Gavin Newsom introduced a resolution supporting a state mandate to require local governments to report the deaths of homeless persons for each calendar year, institute the creation of a state homeless death count and provide the public access to the information. The bill, authored by then State Senator John Burton, failed to become law.
In 2003, mayoral candidate Gavin Newsom requested a report from the city's Health Department on homeless deaths; the report stated 169 homeless had died in the past year.
But the following year, when Newsom sat in the mayor's chair and could decide on reinstituting the city's annual count, he turned down the request from homeless advocates to do exactly that.
In 2005, the Board of Supervisors unanimously passed measures urging officials to resume the annual tally. The city did not resume the count.
The count, which Friedenback agrees was never comprehensive, nevertheless provided important insights into how to target services for the most vulnerable homeless.
"It's been a loss of information. It was really helpful to see if things are shooting up or not," she said.
The count was drawn from two sources – the medical examiner's office and the city's Health Department. San Francisco's relatively mild climate meant that exposure was less likely to be a cause of death for a homeless person than a drug overdose, homicide, accident or poisoning.
The medical examiner's office data alone is insufficient as a stand-alone source since it handles only about half the deaths in the city.
The initial reports when the count began indicated that the "vast majority" of the deaths were preventable, according to a December 23, 1999 San Francisco Chronicle article.
That story also reported that many of those who died had recently used the city's homeless services.
For advocates such as Sister Bernie Galvin and Rev. Glenda Hope, the annual count was also important as a means of recalling the lives of those who lived in the city's midst – and often died there as well. Using anecdotal information, the religious witnesses conduct an annual reading of the names on the steps of City Hall.
Newsom's departure from the mayor's office may ironically create an opportunity to resume the annual count. Having made use of the homeless count when he was a candidate, he appeared to have no interest in it when he was in office.
Newsom's priorities on homelessness took second place to other, more immediate, opportunities. Initially named chair of the U.S. Mayors Task Force on Hunger and Homelessness, that national organization had to find a mayor to pinch hit for Newsom at the first press conference. Newsom himself had flown off to Davos, Switzerland to be part of an international set of high level business and political leaders.
In each of the seven years Newsom served as mayor, and after the Conference of Mayors downgraded him as co-chair rather than chair of the Homeless and Hunger Task Force, Newsom never attended any of the press conferences on homelessness. While those press events took place in December, when the actual Conference sessions took place in January, Newsom would drop by for a day or a session and then jet off to Davos.
Friedenbach says her group will seek again to restart the count this fall, the usual timing of the report to coincide with the Thanksgiving and Holiday season when the public is more attuned to the needs of others.

Unlike the trumpet-shaped pitchers of the Sarracenia species, these tropical vines produce hanging pitchers, which are attached to the leaves by a stalk. They vary in size from quite small up to a whopping 40cm long in certain rare species.
Insects that venture inside the pitchers slip down and drown in the liquid at the base, to be slowly absorbed by the plant as food.
Being native to the tropics, Nepenthes species need to be grown in a frost-free climate, and most species require a minimum night-time temperature above 10°C.
Grow them in a partially shaded position and water regularly to keep the soil moist.
Tropical pitcher plants grow well in pots, and are also suited to hanging baskets as the extra height displays the hanging pitchers perfectly.

Much has been said about the recent Arizona law that requires police to verify the immigration status of anyone they suspect of being in the country illegally. Critics argue the law is vague, unconstitutional, and will lead to racial profiling as police try to enforce it. Defenders respond that it is simply a means to enforce the rule of law – if people are committing crimes, shouldn't the police be empowered to bring them to justice? On its face, there seems to be a conflict between two compelling cases: the rights of citizens on the one hand, and the rule of law on the other.
The issue has become a confusing maze of seemingly unrelated aspects. A short list would include racial profiling, police-public relations, federal versus state jurisdiction, drug smuggling, employment of undocumented workers, untaxed welfare benefits, and social impacts on immigrant families. Consequently, our media pundits and politicians offer up uncertain, inconclusive attempts at solutions.
Despite this, the Arizona law has done something clarifying: The chilling image of a police officer demanding proof of citizenship from a person they "suspect" of being illegal has reminded us of the fact that all one has to do to break the law is to have been born in the wrong country. What the papers in question represent is the fact that even the most peaceful, hardworking, and good-natured person is considered a criminal simply by lacking the permission of the federal government to pursue his peaceful, hardworking life in the United States.
But there is no rational basis for such policies, and never has been. America's founding doctrine of freedom rightly framed a society where no man is causelessly presumed a threat to his neighbor. So long as one respects the freedom of others, he was to be granted the same. Unfortunately, that idea was distorted and replaced by the contradiction that still persists today: that a nation literally born of immigrants considers outsiders criminals until and unless they are granted legal permission to breath, walk, and work inside our borders.
The other issues–racial profiling, legality, alleged economic impact—only serve to distract from the crucial question that the Arizona law prompts us to confront: what has a man done wrong by standing on an American street without permission?

In an effort at easing the transition to bauxite production, Malaysia's Water, Land and Natural Resources Ministry announced on Saturday that it will conduct hearings to discuss the new set of standard operating procedures (SOPs) by which bauxite miners will be expected to abide upon resumption of production at the end of next month.
Per the ministry, the hearings will provide stakeholders an opportunity to add input to the SOPs before they are implemented as well.
"To ensure the involvement of all parties, this engagement that will be held before March 31 will also take into account the interests of the people as well as environmental NGOs," said the ministry in a statement.
The SOPs, which cover the entirety of the process from mine planning to export, will also be opened up to public examination and comment at a date to be determined.
"The ministry is committed to ensure all complaints from the people, especially those who are directly affected by bauxite mining activities, are heard in line with the ministry's vision as a leader in sustainable management of water, land and natural resources for the country's prosperity," the statement continued.
Chairman of Stop Bauxite Pollution People's Movement (Geram) Ali Akbar Othman said in comments to local media that, though the opportunity for public comment is encouraging, he hoped that the ministry would coordinate such hearings will properly account for all those wishing to provide input.
"Similar to the public hearing held by the government's executive review committee on the Lynas plant, I hope participants who wish to attend will be allowed to register earlier and the venue will offer extra room so that more people can attend."
"I am sure many will want to be at the public engagement as they want to hear for themselves on the new SOP and how mining activities will be conducted April onwards," he continued. "People have seen it in the past and now they will be able to make comparison."

Are you tired of your child bringing home candy and cheap plastic toys as party favors? After filling up an entire bucket of useless party favor \"stuff\" that my son accumulated over the year, I swore I would never do that for another birthday party again. I purchased the personalized water bottles for my son\'s 6th birthday party. The product was good quality, loved the personalization, and the packaging was cute. Donna was an ABSOLUTE PLEASURE to do with business with and the water bottles arrived on time as promised. (I think earlier than promised!!) I will definitely use DMZ Designs in the future. I suggest that anyone who reads this review orders from DMZ too!

Astronomers have detected a hypervelocity star called S5-HVS1 traveling through our galaxy at a tremendous speed of 2.3 million miles per hour (1,017 km/s), making it the third-fastest star ever recorded.
The star is traveling fast enough that it will leave the Milky Way and shoot off into the massive space between galaxies. "S5-HVS1's velocity is so high that it will inevitably leave the galaxy and never return," Dr. Douglas Boubert, an astronomer at the University of Oxford, explained in a statement.
The star is currently around 29,000 light-years away, in the constellation of Grus. But astronomers have tracked its path back to its origin and found that it started its journey from the center of the galaxy. At the heart of our galaxy is a supermassive black hole called Sagittarius A*, which the scientists believe kick-started the star on its journey.
"This is super exciting, as we have long suspected that black holes can eject stars with very high velocities," Dr. Sergey Koposov, a researcher at Carnegie Mellon University, said in the statement. "However, we never had an unambiguous association of such a fast star with the galactic center."
A supermassive black hole can eject a star via the Hills mechanism, named after astronomer Jack Hills. This begins with two stars in a binary star system that venture close to a black hole. The tidal forces from the black hole disrupt the binary stars' orbits and can pull one of the pair into orbit around the hole. The other star is ejected away at high speed. This is what happened to S5-HVS1 4.8 million years ago when it began its journey with a velocity of 4 million mph (1,800 km/s).
"This is the first clear demonstration of the Hills mechanism in action," Dr. Ting Li, from Carnegie Observatories and Princeton University, said in the same statement. "Seeing this star is really amazing as we know it must have formed in the galactic center, a place very different to our local environment. It is a visitor from a strange land."
The research is published in the journal Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society.

Discover Milan's most fascinating side, amongst its most famous monuments and museums
Milan Cathedral
The Duomo, the symbol of Lombardy's capital, is the Europe's fourth largest cathedral by extension. Built over more than five hundred years, it contains and represents a set of architectural styles that begin with the late Gothic and reaches its conclusion in the neo-Gothic.
Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II
Beside the Duomo is the architectural complex that is the headquarters of Milanese shopping. The architecture is intended to underline the urbanization of Milan, uniting Piazza Duomo with Piazza della Scala, with a mixture of styles and elements that are completely different between them.
Sforza Castle
Built on the remains of a previous fortification this was not only the residence of the Lords of Milan but also one of Europe's biggest and most beautiful fortified citadels.
Today inside the fortress there are important museums including the Pinacoteca, the Egyptian museum, the Furniture museum, the Museum of ancient Art and the Musical instruments museum.
The Pinacoteca of Brera
During the highs and lows of Milan's history in the nineteenth and twentieth century the Pinacoteca was the place where many pieces of art found protection.
The Pinacoteca contains works by Mantegna, di Leonardi da Vinci, Tiziano, Raffaello, Tintoretto, Correggio, Piero della Francesca, Caravaggio, Tiepolo, Canaletto, Jacopo Bellini, Fabriano, Bramante, i Caracci, Giovanni Bellini, Pieter Paul Rubens, van Dyck, Giovanni Segantini, Umberto Boccioni, Giorgio Morandi, Carlo Carrà, Pablo Picasso, Modigliani and many other artists.
The Teatro dalla Scala, Milan's main opera theatre, was constructed where the church of Saint Maria, called of "alla Scala" (of the stair) once stood and kept its name.
Since its foundation the Teatro della Scala has been the base of its choir, orchestra, corps of ballet and, since 1962 also of its Philharmonic Orchestra.
The theatre is next to Casino Ricordi which now houses La Scala's theatrical Museum.
The Last Supper (Da Vinci's Last Supper)
This one of the most famous representations of the Last Supper, it is Leonardo's masterpiece and of Italy's Renaissance in general. Leonardo's Last Supper is visited by almost half a million people every year, from around the world.
Created at the end of the fifteenth century, the painting is preserved in what was the refectory of the convent of Santa Maria delle Grazie.
These and many other destinations, such as the Arch of Peace, can be visited without having to give up the comfort and elegance of a luxury holiday in Milan.

Q: how to make the viewcontroller rotate when added through appdelegate window I have added a viewcontroller in the window of appdelegate class like this:
-(void)showSearchView:(BOOL)view
{
    if(view)
    {
        searchViewController = [[SearchView alloc] initWithNibName:@"SearchView" bundle:nil];
        CGRect viewFrame=searchViewController.view.frame;
        viewFrame.origin.y=-1024;
        viewFrame.origin.x=248;
        [window addSubview:searchViewController.view];
        searchViewController.view.frame = viewFrame;
        [UIView beginAnimations:@"UIBase Hidden" context:nil];
        [UIView setAnimationDuration:0.5];
        searchViewController.view.transform = CGAffineTransformMakeTranslation(0,1024);

        [UIView commitAnimations];
    }
    else
    {
        [UIView beginAnimations:@"UIBase Shown" context:nil];
        [UIView setAnimationDuration:0.5];
        searchViewController.view.transform = CGAffineTransformIdentity;
        [UIView commitAnimations];
        [self performSelector:@selector(doTHis) withObject:nil afterDelay:1];

    }

}

This gets called from other classes through this command
    [apd showSearchView:YES];
where apd is object of appdelegate class
Everything is working fine till here but when i try to rotate it does not rotate. I have even returnd YES in the following method and still it does not rotate:
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation
{
    return YES;
}

What should be done?

A: Please remember that UIWindow does not rotate. Perhaps You should add a base view controller and do your rotation.

Numerous testimonials Bach wrote for his best students demonstrate the comprehensive experience they gained under his tutelage. As a case in point, we read in a 1730 letter of reference for Johann Christian Weyrauch, candidate of laws, "that he not only masters various instruments but can also well afford to make himself heard vocaliter, he has given many examples of his skill, and also can show on request what he has done in the art of composition." A testimonial from 1748 for Johann Christoph Altnickol, candidate of theology but provided by Bach with the self styled academic title of "candidate in music," relates that it's bearer "not only did . . . act for four years diligently as assistant for our Chorus Musicus, but he has also shown, in addition to his vocal performance, such outstanding work on various instruments as one could desire from an accomplished musician. A number of fine compositions of his have found no less ample approval in our town.
While in Bach's tutelage, Heinrich Nicolaus Gerber copied the materials he was given to study, signing the finished volumes adding his name to them. The manuscripts Gerber assembled from late 1724 to 1726 corroborate the information in the biographical report, even in terms of their chronological sequence: at he beginning, we find the Aufrichtige Anleitung (Gerber copied all fifteen inventions and fifteen sinfonias), then eight French and seven English Suites (copied from a larger collection of suites with and without preludes) and twenty-one movements from the partitas that were published in 1731 as Clavier-Ubung and realizations of the Albinoni figured bass (including Bach's corrections) – a truly demanding course of study for only two years.
Heinrich Nicolaus Gerber, later court organist at Schwarzburg-Sondershausen, was one of a large and impressive group of composers who received their training from Bach and that included, apart from Bach's own sons, Carl Friedrich Abel, royal court musician in London; nephew Johann Ernst Bach, court capellmeister in Eisenach; Johann Friedrich Doles, Bach's second successor in Leipzig; Gottfried August Homilius, cantor in Dresden; Johann Ludwig Krebs, court organist in Altenburg; Johann Christian Kittel, town organist in Erfurt; Johann Gottfried Müthel, city organist in Riga; and Johann Trier, organist in Zittau. A substantial number of Bach's students also engaged in literary contributions and theoretical writings on music; aside from sons Wilhelm Friedemann and Carl Philipp Emanuel, the most prominent were Christoph Nichelmann, Lorenz Christoph Mizler, Johann Friedrich Agricola and Johann Philipp Kirnberger.
For Bach, a steadfast working relationship with his best students must have been particularly important, and at times even crucial, not only for what they learned from him but also what he picked up from them: from their academic studies and from their musical interests and contributions, as his own changing stylistic orientation in the 1730's and 1740's definitely reflects. He may also have hoped that they would carry on his ideas – perhaps remembering the encouraging words said to him by the venerable old organist Reinkin: "I thought that this art was dead, but I see that in you it still lives." But if such wishful thinking ever crossed Bach's mind, it did not come true, as none of his students came remotely close to Bach's mastery in either composition or performance or in his intellectual control over and penetration of musical subject matter. They did, however, play all the more important role in the preservation, dissemination and veneration of their teacher's incomparable music. In particular, their faithful spreading of his musical methods and principles shows that Bach's inordinate in the teaching of his musical philosophy was by no means in vain. On the contrary, scores of students and their pupils' students helped organize and eventually consolidate Bach's lasting influence, a phenomenon that none of Bach's contemporaries sustained. Neither Handel nor Scarlatti, Rameau, nor Telemann ever engaged so fully in the kind of teaching Bach enjoyed throughout his life. More important, none of them could, as Bach did, put their teaching on an academic stage – the secret that allowed his smallish world to burst into a limitless orb.

A food item of the Blackwater Mud Snake (Phytolopsis punctata)
Location, date and time: Singapore Island, Central Catchment Nature Reserve, Nee Soon swamp forest; 22 November 2014.
Observation: A large adult female example of 63.5 cm snout-vent length and 72.0 cm total length was found dead in a submerged trap used for an on-going biodiversity survey. Upon dissection, a Forest Walking Catfish (Clarias leiacanthus) of 13.6 cm standard length (from snout tip to tail base) was retrieved. The pectoral spine of the ingested catfish had pierced through the gut wall of the snake, but not yet through the skin. The snake is presumed to have died either from asphyxiation or from the puncture of its gut wall by its ingested prey.
Remarks: The occurrence of the Blackwater Mud Snake in Singapore is first recorded by Thomas et al. (2014) based on two smaller examples obtained at the same general area. The natural history of this apparently rare species is virtually unknown, except it is typically associated with acid-water and peat swamps (Murphy, 2007: 162, as Enhydris punctata). Clarias leiacanthus appears to be the first recorded food item of this snake. The present specimen, catalogued as ZRC.2.7085, is deposited in the Zoological Reference Collection of the Lee Kong Chian Natural History Museum at the National University of Singapore.

Eugene J. Fiorella, 92, of Sleepy Hollow died on Feb. 9, 2017.
Born and raised in Sleepy Hollow, the youngest son of Joseph and Elizabeth Fiorella, Eugene attended the public schools of the Tarrytowns.
Upon graduation from North Tarrytown High School, he enlisted in the U.S. Navy to serve in World War II. He served as a Torpedoman aboard the Destroyer USS Helm in the Pacific Theater from 1943 to the war's end in 1945. During his tour of duty, among other notable operations, he took part in the rescue and recovery mission of the ill-fated USS Indianapolis from Aug. 3 to 6, 1945, the Helm being one of the first two ships to sail into the recovery site.
In 1948, he married the former Nancy J. Scogna at Immaculate Conception Church, North Tarrytown. He worked at the P.R. Mallory plant on Elm Street in North Tarrytown until reenlisting in the Navy from 1950 to 1952.
After his discharge from the Navy, Mr. Fiorella was employed by the Scarsdale Fire Department where he worked until his retirement in 1988. During his time with SFD, he received several commendations for outstanding service and bravery in the line of duty.
Mr. Fiorella was an active member of his community. He was a volunteer firefighter for the Village of Sleepy Hollow with Union Hose Company for over 60 years and a member of the local VFW.
During his retirement years, Eugene worked as a weekend volunteer on the USS Joseph P. Kennedy in Fall River, Mass., and was a volunteer tour guide at the USS Intrepid Museum in Manhattan. Eugene was an avid fisherman and outdoor sportsman who loved nature and instilled in his children the love of the sea.
He was an excellent handyman and enjoyed working in his basement workshop. He was an animal lover and loved watching Laurel and Hardy, Benny Hill and Gunsmoke. Eugene had a great love for family and an appreciation for friends. Throughout his life, he was warm and kind and very funny. Eugene will be greatly missed by all those who love him.
He is predeceased by his wife, Nancy, who died in February 2006.
He is survived by his children Gina Mancinelli (Dennis) of Southport, N.C.; Arlene Stolarski (John) of Port Chester, Diane Fiorella of Sleepy Hollow, Barbara Kipniss (Ivan) of Albany and Serena Fiorella of Sleepy Hollow. He also leaves nine grandchildren and six great-grandchildren.
He was also predeceased by his granddaughter Erin Stolarski as well as his siblings Virginia, Hugh, Joseph, Francis, Charles and Anthony.
His funeral mass was on Tuesday at Transfiguration Church with interment to follow in Gate of Heaven Cemetery. To leave condolences, visit www.coffeyfuneralhome.com.

Cricket Board criticise decision to abandon tour as 'inappropriate' and threaten to bar players from Bangladesh league.
Pakistan on Tuesday criticised Bangladesh's decision to abandon a planned cricket tour over security fears and threatened to bar its own players from playing in a Bangladeshi league.
The two nations were scheduled to play a Twenty20 and a one-day international in Lahore this month, albeit pending security clearance.
But on Monday Bangladesh shelved what would have been the first international cricket tour of Pakistan since militants wounded seven members of the Sri Lankan team and their assistant coach in Lahore in 2009.
Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) president Nazmul Hassan said the decision had been taken over fears for players' safety, following protests by Bangladeshis and a Facebook campaign against the tour.
But Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Zaka Ashraf told AFP that the decision was "inappropriate".
"The decision to tour was up to the BCB," Ashraf told AFP from New Delhi.
"We never forced Bangladesh, but to say that the security situation was not conducive is inappropriate because their own delegation was satisfied with the arrangements."
Ashraf said the Pakistani government had promised top-level security.
"We had promised the best security arrangements and were hosting matches in Lahore, which is very safe," said Ashraf.
"An international eleven last year played matches in Karachi and there were no problems."
Pakistan hosted two limited-overs matches in Karachi with players from South Africa, Sri Lanka and the West Indies in October 2012.
In a statement, the PCB said it "would only be proper" for the BCB president to read the report from his security delegation before commenting on Pakistan's current situation.
It warned that it may now bar Pakistani players from the second edition of the Bangladesh Premier League, starting January 17.
The BPL is the Bangladeshi answer to the Indian Premier League - the hugely popular Twenty20 tournament which has fused cricket with showbusiness.
In 2012 20 Pakistanis featured in the tournament, with all-rounder Shahid Afridi fetching $700,000 in an auction of stars - the highest amount bid. More than 50 Pakistanis have already been bought at an auction for the second edition.
"Now for the 2013 edition of BPL, we have to see the engagements of our players before releasing them for the tournament," the statement said.
Bangladesh was also due to tour Pakistan last April, but the tour was blocked by the Dhaka high court on security grounds.
Anti-Pakistan sentiment still runs strong in the country, which was part of Pakistan until 1971 when it won independence after a nine-month war.
