"In a fit of rage, he got extremely scientific."
"He employed every sensing device available, in the place where horses refused to go," said the guide. "And more than a few that he invented himself. Results were confounding, to say the least. Keep in mind that this occurred in the early twenty-first century, well before post-Shattering complete scanners. He had to collate and calculate his data on his own."
The effort, according to the guide, took months. During which, the investigator took more readings to feed into analytical programs of his own design.
After two years of solid work on this anomaly, he was left almost exactly where he started. All he had was a pile of data and no idea what it meant. It went entirely against everything he knew... and this was a man who studied outlier phenomenon.
He sought permission to dig in the area, but was denied.
He was not daunted, and predicted that the area contained a deposit of some high-energy material that would upset normalcy. In his notes, he named it, Unlikelium.
And it would be centuries before other deposits were found outside of already protected areas. This ore was the key to the specific gravity generator, and the beginning of the modern human age.
If only the people who owned the tourist centre in Oregon had allowed Stanford Pines to do a minor excavation to take a ten-gram sample to investigate its properties. But in this case, money won out, and the inventor of the Gravity Drive was Wen Min-Jun, from a small province in China. She had Stanford Fords notes on the phenomenon and used his readings and observations to find another deposit of Unlikelium and extracted ten grams that changed human history.
"Which just goes to show," summarised the guide, "that short-term monetary profit is the worst thing for any given civilisation."
Moq'bor lifted a manipulating tendril. "I know humans are insane," she said. "But how could they prefer money over knowledge gain?"
The guide sighed and adjusted her hair. "This is the Territorial Identity that also elected an ignorant plutocrat because of his alleged monetary success. Which lead to the Greater Global Depression."

Home Education Politically and Economically Most Stable Countries of the World
The nations that have political and economic stability along with better living conditions are considered to be the stable countries. European countries have the most balanced economies. That is why most of these countries of the world are found in Europe. In the index, the countries that have the lowest score are considered to be the safest. Those with a higher score are the unstable and imbalanced nations.
Countries that Are The Most Stable:
Down below is a list of countries that are most stable and they have a low score in fragility index:
Sr. No. Rank Country 2018 score
1 178 Finland 17.9
2 177 Norway 18.3
3 176 Switzerland 19.2
4 175 Denmark 19.8
5 174 Iceland 20.3
6 173 Ireland 20.7
7 170 Sweden 20.8
8 171 Australia 20.8
9 172 Luxembourg 20.8
10 169 New Zealand 20.9
11 168 Canada 21.5
12 167 Germany 25.8
13 165 Austria 26.2
14 166 Netherlands 26.2
15 164 Portugal 27.3
16 163 Belgium 29.7
17 162 Slovenia 30.3
18 161 Singapore 30.4
19 160 France 32.2
20 159 United Kingdom 34.3
6: Ireland – 20.7
The Republic of Ireland secures 6th rank in the most stable nations. As per GDP per capita, the country is among the wealthiest ones in the world. The nation has an economic freedom score of 80.4 and is on the 6th rank worldwide.
5: Iceland – 20.3
Iceland comes 5th on the list having a stability index of 20.3 points. As compared to the rest of the OCED countries, the market economy of Iceland has quite low taxes. Tertiary education and Universal health care are available in the nation through the Nordic Social Welfare System. It ranks 5th in the nations with median wealth index. Adding to that the country also is one of the countries with the highest economic and social stability.
Iceland was also ranked as the sixth most developed nation by the United Nations' Human Development Index. One of the most important fact to note is that the country entirely runs on renewable energy. Back in 2008, the country had to face severe problems due to the financial crisis in the world. The country went into severe depression because the whole banking system had some system failure. On this occurrence, many bankers were sent to jail. After 2008, the country has made a significant recovery, and most of the financial instability issues were resolved from the foreign exchange through tourism.
Iceland is a member of many global authorities including UN, EFIA, NATO, OCED and Council of Europe. It has diplomatic relations with several nations.
4: Denmark – 19.8
Denmark is another European country that stands 4th on the list of a least fragile nation. The stability index of the country is 19.8. It is considered to be one of the most economically and socially developed nations of the world. A high standard of living is enjoyed by the Danes. Adding to that the country ranks high on several metrics that define the strength and stability of a nation. Healthcare, education, protection of civil liberties, human development and prosperity is quite exceptional in this Scandinavian country.
It ranks quite high in social mobility. Not only that, it is one of the nations that have a high-income equality ratio. Not just the income is balanced, but the public service in Denmark ensures that each in the country gets equal treatment and equal rights. It is one of the areas with the lowest corruption rates. The development here is quite rapid and is the fifth most developed country. The agriculture system of Denmark is highly advanced.
3. Switzerland – 19.2
Switzerland is well known to be one of the countries that are neutral. It stands third on the list of the most stable nations with a score 19.2 as per the facts and figures of Fragile States Index 2018. The country does not participate in any of the external problems. Due to the less interference of other states, the country is quite safe. The main purpose armed forces of Switzerland is to maintain law and order within the country.
All the neighbouring countries of Switzerland are a part of the European Union, but the country itself is not a part of EU. It became a part of the United Nations back in 2002. State agencies are internally dependent on each other due to the federal structure of the state. As a result, the government is quite reliable. Free market policy prevails in the country, and there are proper rules and regulations for that. Adding to that, other sectors including health and education are adequately developed.
2. Norway – 18.3
Following Finland, Norway is one of the most stable nations in the world. The country has an index score of 18.3 according to a study conducted by FFP (Fund for Peace). It is one of the most developed nations in the world with a stable economy and politics. The country is also known to be one of the safest countries on the planet. Most of the developed countries face many problems including a high crime rate, but that's not the case with Norway.
The crime rate is also quite low as compared to the other countries. Adding to that the living conditions are quite friendly and highly sustainable. There are very fewer cases of public violation. The press of Norway is provided freedom along the proper constitution that ensures the protection of Press and Media. The nation has never been in a state of Civil Unrest.
1. Finland – 17.9
As per the Fragile State Index 2018 by FFP, Finland is the most stable country in the world as it has the least score in the fragile index. The country was also ranked first on the list of the safest nations as per the Travel and Tourism Competitiveness Report of 2017. It is one of the best-governed countries on the planet. The system of healthcare is quite developed and is free for the public. The education system of Norway provides a world-class education.
As per the 2017 Travel & Tourism Competitiveness Report, Finland is one of the safest places on planet earth. The judiciary of Finland is ranked to be highly independent judiciary. Healthcare is free in Finland, and the nation also enjoys world-class education.
Most Unstable nations in the world
Listed below are the most unstable countries of the world:
Rank Country 2018 score
1 South Sudan 113.4
2 Somalia 113.2
3 Yemen 112.7
4 Syria 111.4
5 Central African Republic 111.1
6 Democratic Republic of the Congo 110.7
7 Sudan 108.7
8 Chad 108.3
9 Afghanistan 106.6
10 Zimbabwe 102.3
Looking at the social, economic and political structure of a nation, it is ranked on the list. So among the total of 177 countries, South Sudan is the most unstable nation. So the total score is 177. If the score of a nation is higher, it will be considered as unstable.
South Sudan got independent from Sudan back in 2011. The most active political party was the Sudan People's Liberation Movement. The party fought to gain independence and afterwards after independence, the party is fighting for power.
Later on, in 2013, the political instability was caused by the nation because of the two fighting parties. As a result of this, violence in the streets prevailed. The violence in this newly created nation led to many problems as most of the things were already quite out of balance. About 413,000 civilians were in the very first month of this conflict. The fighting continued and shaped into a civil war which disturbed its economy in the worst possible manner.
Because of the war, many agreements were signed to promote peace and to eradicate violence. But in spite of that many violations were done. So the situation in South Sudan is highly unstable. Adding to these attacks and violence in the area, the lack of food has disrupted economic circumstances. The currency has declined, and because of that, the prices of goods have skyrocketed.
The inflation rate of South Sudan got up to 835%. The inflation rate has never been that much high in any other state in the world. Famine was declared in the state in 2017. Because of this famine, about 100,000 people were left to starve.
Due to the insecurity, lack of food and absence of basic human needs, many people were left with choice rather than leaving the state. Many people flew out to the neighbouring countries. One of 3 people in the state is displaced. More than 2.4 million people left the country in search of a relatively safe place to live in. About 1.7 million people are still stuck in the state and looking for a refuge.
The people who ran away from the brutal nation have given many sacrifices. They have lost their families, friends and also their lands. The situation is getting worse as violence is common here. Adding to that there are many cases of gender-based violence, kidnapping, targeted attacks and murders out here.

I knew since the beginning that I wanted to close out this project with an overview of how true crime communities can and should be more intersectional and welcoming to non-white women. In doing my baseline research early on, I came across an article about a true crime magazine made by and for women! I was so hopeful. The article interviewed the two creators of Foul Play, Emma Hardy and Grace Harrison, and they discussed how they wanted to appeal to the interest in true crime without glorifying misogynistic killers and fetishizing violence against women (Abraham 2018). That sounded good to me! Hopeful, I went to the website to learn more, and my excitement quickly waned. I clicked on the "info" tab, and a picture of the two white creators looked back at me. I scrolled down to the list of contributors, and I'm sure you can guess what I found- or didn't find. Out of 20 contributors, 11 are men and 9 are women- a true crime magazine "by and for women" not so much, I guess.
Oh, yeah, and all of them were white. All of them.
This was a recurring thing as I looked for true crime content to feature on and reference in this blog. White women were the most focused-on victims as well as the most prominent content creators in the true crime community.
I came across another article about being a true crime fan that was, surprise, written by a white woman. But this one was a bit different- she had the same concerns I did.
"In recent years, I have met dozens of true crime fans. Over time, it has become apparent that often, we are more alike than different: mostly women, mostly white, usually citizens, and largely middle class. My fellow true crime fans are often straight and feminine. Many also espouse centrist or left-leaning politics. And we all share a seemingly endless appetite for murder. The more true crime fans I meet, the more I see myself reflected. And the more troubled I become." (Your Fat Friend 2018).
Let's take a quick look at the main questions that I set out to answer with this blog.
Why do women love true crime so much?
Being a woman is scary.
Learn from stories and others' experiences.
What if that was you?
These people went through so much.
Maybe you had a close call with death.
That could be someone you love.
Feeling in danger without the danger.
Honestly, I think this question turned out to be pretty simple. Why do we take self-defense classes? Why do people like a nice cathartic cry to a sad movie? Why do people like haunted houses and roller coasters? It's the next question that not only is more difficult to pinpoint, but also is way more important.
How can we make true crime communities more welcoming to fans of true crime what are not white women?
1. Give non-white victims the attention and respect they deserve.
The ways in which non-white victims of crime are somehow made out to be worse than white perpetrators is so ridiculous that it could be funny, if it wasn't a real, pretty horrific issue.
Black victims of brutal murders often have criminal records dug up and waved around, as if an arrest for a small amount of weed a decade ago justifies their slaying. The reverse is true, as well- white people who commit crimes have their pasts dug up, but this time to prove that they weren't all bad (Johnson 2017). The media loves to remind people that many racialized people have faced hardships and had run-ins with the law, but doesn't seem to want explore what societal factors go into why that is, nor does it want to do anything about it.
Nonwhite children receive about 20% of the amount media coverage of missing children. The rest is devoted to white children. These numbers are not consistent with the amount of children who go missing within any given race (McKelvey 2013).
Journalists need to be held to severe standards, and face consequences when they perpetuate racial stereotypes or victim blame. Journalism is one of the most efficient avenues for change, but it has to be effectively utilized (Ramsawakh 2018b). Or utilized at all.
This doesn't stop at nonfiction, either. Harmful fictional representations of people of color translate into their real life treatment, and these fictional representations stem from real life beliefs. It's a cycle that needs to be broken.
2. Give women of color a platform to address stories they care about.
No matter how well meaning, white people attempting to tell the stories of people of color often screw it up.
And, at the same time, when creators of color or other marginalized identities break into the mainstream, their content is overwhelmingly praised.
There seems to maybe be something that could be done with both of these statements, but the media isn't quite able to put its finger on it. Women like Viola Davis and Ava DuVernay have had some success in the mainstream, but when you see them among their peers, it's clear there's still a lot of work to be done.
When white people make content about non-white people, the story tends to be made for white audience, purposefully or not (Mallett 2015). Telling these stories through a white point of view fundamentally changes some very important factors involved- like how being a certain race makes one's life very, very different than others'.
Being constantly inundated with stories of injustice is traumatizing for people who identify with or are members of the same community as the victim. Diverse voices brings diverse perspectives (Ramsawakh 2018a).
3. Address police corruption and brutality.
This needs to be done not just in the retelling of true crime stories, but in real life, too.
In the past year, I've seen several biopic productions announced that involve victims of police violence. One about Sandra Bland was released a few months ago. I recall seeing that one about Michael Brown is being made. Even fictional films like The Hate U Give address police violence against people of color. Many of these kinds of films are headed by black people, and this is obviously great. These stories should be told and known. But why do we as a society only allow black stories when they involve suffering? How disgusting is it that the general public eats up movies about slavery and poverty and police violence, and for the most part turn a blind eye to original and unique stories by and about black people? We white people can wring their hands about how sad these stories are all we want, but we are making no actual change with the power we have.
4. Stop glorifying murder and murderers.
Seriously, gross. Stop it. Someone's murder is not your coping mechanism.
5. Listen to and support non-white true crime content creators.
For the record, I do not know a single one of these people (even though I certainly would love to). No one is paying for or asking me to feature them in my blog for a school project that has had a solid 75 views in total.
Are you a woman of color interested in true crime? Embrace it. Put yourself out there. Your voice is something that is lacking and sorely needed. But that's only half the battle. White women who love true crime, we have to uplift these voices. We are the majority, we are in power, we are in charge of what's popular in this regard. We can do better.


In 2018, from Miami to Minneapolis to Mendocino, we took to the streets, mobilized communities, and educated voters to demand action and accountability on climate, jobs, and justice. Now, in the months to follow and well into 2020, we will fight to keep our demands on the national agenda.
Leading up to September 8th 2018 and the Global Climate Action Summit, Peoples Climate Movement helped to organize over 300 events across the country, including a 30,000 person march in San Francisco to demand bold action on climate from our leaders.
In November 2018, PCM worked to educate and energize climate, jobs, and justice voters across the country, taking our work from a moment to a movement.
The beginning of 2019 will see a collaborative planning process with partners and communities across the country to strengthen the foundation of the climate movement; engage existing and new climate activists; educate stakeholders, and fortify the issues of climate, jobs, and justice in the public discourse.
Take action and join the fight for a safer climate, better jobs and justice for all.

Lachlan (Lachie) Griffen, born in Christchurch in 1922 settled in Governors Bay at the age of 2. At 15, Lachie commenced work on a Governors Bay orchard but quickly moved to driving trucks for a local transport operator. War intervened in 1940, with Lachie enlisted to the army as a tank driver with C Squadron of the 19th Battalion Armoured Unit in 1943 in Italy. 12 months later he was enlisted to serve in the Occupation of Japan. On completion of hostilities and his return in 1946, Lachie got a job driving and labouring for R H Blatchford Limited, a local sand and shingle supplier. In 1951, Lachie and two partners set up Governors Bay Transport Limited, investing his rehabilitation loan received as a returned serviceman in the business. After a short time, he brought his two partners out becoming sole owner of the company. Lachie developed a transport company that would be quite pioneering in many of its approaches, as it faced the difficulties of servicing the needs of a rural community in hilly, difficult terrain. During this time he became known for his lead in pioneering the Cyclone stock crate, in conjunction with Cyclone Industries. A convertible two-deck sheep and one-deck cattle crate with pipe frame and cyclone netting.

Really, I do love my physical therapist. She's a lovely person and I'm sure we would be wonderful friends in the real world. But in her world, in that physical therapy center, all I want to do is finish and get out of there.
There is a sort of camaraderie in the PT center. Everybody is working to repair themselves. Sometimes, as we sit next to each other at the bikes or plod the treadmills, we chat, in that "what are you in here for" sort of way. Everyone clucks appreciatively at everyone else's infirmities.
The real business is over at the line of tables though. That's where we are variously massaged/stretched/manipulated by the therapists. I try not to make faces. Everyone tries not to make faces. We try to joke sometimes. But having someone move your bones and muscles past where they want to move takes the humor out of you.
I'm sure I'll be grateful when this is all over. Right now, not so much.
I don't know why but the pain scale bugs me.
My chiropractor was always asking me that.
Operative word WAS...no more chiropractor.
Sorry you are still enduring pain. After therapy was over, I missed my therapy buddies - and, get this, even my physical therapist and kinesiologist! Hang in there. This too shall end. And at least it's bloggable!!
You seem to be in relatively good spirits about it. I was much less...friendly...toward my PT. I believe I called him a *&$^ sadist one day. I'm pretty sure he gave me an extra ten minutes on the hellish electrocution machine.
It has been many years but at Pt after a car accident I was such a mess that they just put warm moist towel and me and dabbed my tears away. It was like being in the care of angels. Hope you get done soon.
I have enjoyed catching up with your blog today. Sorry to hear you have to endure more therapy. I wish you a speedy recovery.
Hang in there. Every treatment is hopefully a step to a pain-free existence.
I hope it will be over for you soon!
Ohhhh, I feel with you. But I really do like that sonic gizmo with the heat wrap, now that i will volunteer for any day, too bad they can't just do that one on every visit.
Hang in there! But yeah I can imagine the faces.
I very much enjoy your blog, continue the great work!
Let me know what you think of my explanations regarding hypnotherapy.
Was physical therapy gives a lot of pain.?
I guess not..I'm also a physical therapists, I gave relaxation and healing not pain though..

From the grassroots: regional film policy and practice in England
Newsinger, Jack (2010) From the grassroots: regional film policy and practice in England. PhD thesis, University of Nottingham.
PDF - Requires a PDF viewer such as GSview, Xpdf or Adobe Acrobat Reader
This thesis is an analysis of the development of regional film policy and practice in England. From the late 1960s regional film production sectors have gradually emerged from small-scale, under-resourced cottage industries to become significant areas of British film practice. By the mid-2000s the English regions were incorporated into a national film policy strategy based on a network of nine Regional Screen Agencies and centrally coordinated by the UK Film Council. Along with similar developments in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, for many commentators the devolution of film production has questioned the traditional way that British cinema can be understood as a national cinema. This thesis aims to understand how regional film production sectors have developed, what filmmaking practices have characterised them and what these mean for British cinema.
It is argued that the development of regional film policy and practice can be understood in terms of two distinct models: the regional workshop model and the regional "creative industries" model. Each was based on different systemic processes and ideological frameworks, and is best represented in institutions. The development of an institutional framework for regional film production is placed within the wider context of the trajectory of public policy in Britain in the post-War period; specifically the shifting boundaries between cultural policy and economic policy. The thesis employs a critical political economy approach to analyse the development of these policy frameworks and the filmmaking practices that have emerged from them, including detailed case studies of regional film practices, specifically regional documentary, regional short film and regionally-produced feature films.

Melita is the ancient name of the tiny Southern European island country of Malta. Although it's one of the smallest countries in the world, Malta has an extremely rich and storied history of perseverance, determination, and a fierce resolve to protect the freedom and values of their people.
Although the island is tiny in stature (about 30% smaller than the city of San Jose, CA), it is a historical giant, with evidence of civilizations dating back to 4,000 B.C. and a succession of rulers including the Romans, Moors, Knights of Saint John, Spanish, French and British. The successful defense of their island over the powerful armies of Hitler during WWII, and the dominant Ottoman Empire during the Great Siege of 1565 in which 6,100 Maltese fought off the massive Turkish armada of 40,000 invaders, are among the epic David vs. Goliath victories throughout history. In short, Malta is a small giant.
Like Malta, we are resolved to stand by our values, and make a big mark on the world, without losing the qualities that make us special and unique. We recognize that bigger isn't better, but that better is better. So growth is not our business strategy because it is often the enemy of excellence. Growth instead should be the byproduct of excellence, and we aspire to achieve excellence in everything we do. Therefore, it is with great pride and honor that we at Melita choose to follow the path of our historically significant namesake, to be a small giant in the world of HR, Benefits & Payroll!
As you consider your options for where you want to build your career, or as you evaluate vendor partners for helping your business with the critical work of building a world-class HR department, I would like to share what I consider to be very important and relevant background information about Melita.
Melita is a privately owned business founded in Silicon Valley in 1993. We have no outside investors and we don't have an "exit strategy"! Our purpose is simply to do great things for our clients and to cultivate a culture in which our employees can thrive. We are not burdened with the pressures of enriching outside investors with their short-term motives rarely aligned with the interests of employees and clients. We built the Melita brand, not by spending huge amounts of money on marketing, but by doing something useful and valuable for our clients, conducting ourselves with integrity, and taking great pride in our work. Since our inception in 1993, we have grown organically, one client at a time. Along the way we've made mistakes, but we've learned a lot, innovated constantly, and made adjustments to get better and stronger. You can't buy that kind of experience with investment.
We have also been innovative and taken risks on new technologies and services. We were one of the pioneers in the cloud technology market with the founding of ClearBenefits.com in 1999 (sold to PlanSource in 2012), and our progressive service packages go beyond simply helping our clients with administration and support. In short, Melita is an evolution, and over our 25 years in business we have evolved to be better, stronger, smarter, and faster than we could ever be if we had the sort of force fed, investor-driven growth that so many businesses struggle with in today's economy. We do not measure our success by our revenues, or how many employees we have, or what percentage growth we've delivered over the last few years. We measure ourselves on the results we get for our clients and the culture we've built for our people. Those are the things that matter, and those are precisely the things that make us among the best at what we do.
So while we may not be a household name, we are well-known by our clients for quietly doing what we've been doing for 25 years: Working hard to deliver high quality services, technology, and results, to help our clients thrive and to elevate the way they hire, engage and lead their workforce and their business to the highest levels of performance.
If you're passionate about HR and you share our values check out our Careers page, or if you're a business with 5 – 1,000 employees and you want to build a truly great company, and you recognize the value of great HR, please contact us, or join our mailing list. We would love to earn the privilege to work with you!


Isuzu East Africa has launched two types of high-capacity buses for the planned bus rapid transit system (BRT) in Nairobi.
The two vehicles with a speed limit of 60 kilometres per hour can ferry between 62 and 100 passengers at a go.
Speaking during a one-day meeting with city commuter operators on Monday, Isuzu EA managing director Rita Kavashe said the BRT buses have space for sitting and standing passengers, noting they were locally developed with consultation for development of BRT standards.
"Kenya has the capacity to manufacture these BRT buses for our cities and this should be encouraged since it will create jobs as well as enable operators easily access credit finance to fund acquisition of the buses," she said.
The high capacity vehicles' specifications have since been formulated and gazetted.
Matatu Owners Association chairman Simon Kimutai said the BRT system should be fasttracked to give Kenyans a quality and safe transport service that will discourage use of private vehicles largely blamed for causing congestion at peak hours.
"We support BRT as it includes all public service vehicles (PSVs) and must start off with segregating lanes for all PSV where private vehicle owners are barred. That will discourage private vehicle owners from using their costly vehicles leaving them at home in favour of the cheap BRT vehicles that we are ready to invest in," he said.
Nairobi Bus Transporters Alliance chairman Edwin Mukabana said the BRT system was necessary to improve Nairobi's traffic since dedicated lines along major roads will be set aside for public service vehicles.

I want to talk about risk management today because of the market correction.
If you are not sleeping well at night during this correction, something is wrong. It is important to build in a risk management system that lets you digest prey properly during corrections.
First of all, are you allocated properly? A raptor has an asset allocation strategy that includes bonds. You aren't worried in this case about market gyrations as holding to maturity ensures your profit is fixed. Some good closed end bond funds trading in the right range are IQI, NEA, NIO, and EHI. You also want an allocation to "hold forever" dividend growers. Much like bonds, you hold these for the income and are not concerned about the price (unless you are in the market for more shares!) Companies like JNJ, WMT, WFC, and CVX fit the bill here. You also want some insurance companies with strong underwriting history. Insurance is a low beta industry. When the market makes big moves, either up or down, for a day, insurance moves less. The long term trend is up but there is less gut wrenching along the way. AWH, AXS, WRB, and CB are good examples here.
Do you have an exit strategy? You should set your exit strategy the day you buy. Trailing stop losses are a good strategy on anything outside your "hold forever" category. This means you might get stopped out early during corrections of something that still had lots of long term upside, but it ensures you do not take a ruinous loss in the event a major market event. Your stop losses are tied to your position size. You usually set a floor such as "no more than 1% of my portfolio" on each position. Thus a 5% position would have a 20% trailing stop loss. That is a great segway as well. Don't allocate more than 5% to any one position. Some names are going to get harder during corrections than others. Don't let it be the one you bet the farm on.
Lastly, a raptor is conscious about how much wealth to keep in the stock market. Some raptors, those who get skittish during corrections, might be better served with off market investments. These can include investing in tax liens, whole life insurance, and rental real estate. My old finance professor during undergrad always said "Daddy always said, 'bulls and bears both make money but hogs always get slaughtered'." (It is worth noting that 'Daddy' was also a Ph.D professor of finance from west Texas.) That is sage advice. Don't get greedy at the market trough if you have a need for other types of prey.
Take a moment this morning and review your risk management strategy. Make sure it is solid before the next correction.

[2015] Amy Gillespie (C&I 5003 Fall 2015): Erik Erikson
In Glogpedia
by ecruiz120
Social Studies Subject:
Born in Frankfurt Germany, he was raised by his young Jewish mother before she married a physician, Dr. Theodore Homburg. Homburg was not his biological father but Erik didn't know that. When he finally found out, he was left feeling confused about who he really was. This helped spark his interest in the formation of identity. He also became more interested in identity based on his experience at school. At school the kids teased him for being Nordic because he was tall, blonde, and blue eyed. At grammar school, he was rejected because of his Jewish background.
Published books based on his theories and research Childhood and Society (1950)Identity: Youth and Crisis (1968)Gandi's Truth (1969)~Award Pulitzer Prize and a national Bool Award Life History and the Historical Monument (1975)Dialogue With Erik Erikson (1996)
Psychoanalytic Theory Theory of personality developed by Frued that focuses on repression and unconscious forces and includes the concepts of infantile sexuality, resistance, transference, and division of the psyche into id, ego, and superego.
Erik Erikson1902-1994
Erikson helped broadenand expand psychoan-alytic theory. He contributed to our understanding of personality as it develops and shapes over the course of our lifespan. He was also interested in social psychology and the interactions of psychology, history,politics, and culture.

The Middle East has suffered a number of high-profile cyber attacks in the past year.
McAfee has opened its first ever Cyber Defence Centre (CDC) in the Middle East.
Based in Dubai, the centre aims to collate information on potential threats, the perpetrators and their motivation, as well as general data that can help governments, institutions and companies prevent and quickly respond to cyber attacks.
McAfee EMEA president Gert-Jan Schenk said the Middle East has become a region with the greatest threat of cyber crime in the world.
"Over the last year it's one of the highest [regions for threat] we've seen in the world," Schenk said.
Schenk said the region was ripe with cyber crime because Dubai was one of the most critical Internet exchanges in the world and much of the world's economy was linked to the Middle East through trade, travel and oil and gas.
An attack on Aramco infrastructure in Saudi Arabia during the Islamic holiday Eid last year highlighted the region's increasing risk. The incident led many companies and institutions to seek greater security intelligence and software, motivating McAfee to establish a base in the region.
"We've also seen the intensity of cyber criminals has grown significantly in the region," Schenk said.
MENA regional director Hamed Diab said cyber crime had developed over the past decade from individual hackers to more sophisticated organisations, often funded by governments, with specific motivations.
"Security is no longer an option, it's a must," he said.
The centre, with 10 staff, has been collecting intelligence for the past nine months and will attempt to pro-actively warn institutions when they are perceived to be under threat.


Broken Arrow, Okla. Walmart employee Frankie Catlett gives no less than 110 percent at work, and in March, his outstanding effort was praised by many more than his immediate manager.
Recognized for his "superhero" qualities, Catlett, now the store's GM, was honored by Walmart CEO Doug McMillon, according to Tulsa World writer Mike Averill.
Catlett had met a Walmart truck crew member, Patrick Harnish, and began mentoring him at a time when Harnish longed for career coaching and considerable support. About 10 years later, Harnish has become a human resources manager at the same Broken Arrow Walmart, but he hasn't forgotten the difference Catlett made in his growth and development.
Catlett's leadership earned him the company's cherished Green Lantern ring award, and recognition of his guidance didn't stop at the company's CEO. At a corporate meeting in Houston, McMillon played a video that showed the community acknowledging and admiring Catlett's work.
Feedback for Catlett demonstrates today's modern recognition trend, in which credit comes from all parts of the workforce, and even from the community.
What this means for Walmart (other than having a standup guy on its team) is that Catlett is committed to the company, and the store's business will be better off because it retained a high performer who knows what recognition means for business.
When Catlett received his Green Lantern ring award, he said he was humble, and that he went back to work with a "business as usual" attitude because that's just how he operates. It's not about recognition being a one-time thing that happens every now and then, but instead, recognition is just part of Catlett's everyday work because that's how he keeps his business running.
It's Catlett's job, he said, to make sure people have a strong work experience with plenty of balance.
Inside the walls of Catlett's store, balance and engagement are achieved by eliminating chaos, making expectations clear and removing any obstacles that could prevent an ideal work experience, and most importantly, giving plenty of recognition.
For the good of the business, recognition helps the Broken Arrow Walmart and all businesses retain people, so leaders spend minimal time retraining new hires. Talent that's been with you for long tenures better executes store functions, they need fewer touch points, and their performance ensures customers are well taken care of.
Recognition done right saves big money for the business, especially with the infrequency of touch points. Catlett said it's all about a strong connection between not only people and management, but people and people, and people and customers.
Recognition is a primary builder of employee loyalty, which keeps workers engaged in your company's mission and makes your business succeed. It starts with a certain energy that modern recognition creates, and those good vibes help every employee feel like they're cared for by their colleagues and management.
"The community consistently comes to you because they trust you and know they'll always be taken care of," Catlett said.
WATCH this on-demand webcast from Reward Gateway to get a closer look at what employee recognition should look like today.

Chinese Ambassador to Afghanistan Liu Jinsong in a meeting with President Ashraf Ghani said his country is ready to provide humanitarian assistance to natural disasters-affected families in Afghanistan, Presidential Palace said in a statement on Thursday.
The Chinese envoy said Beijing is ready to provide financial assistance and food for Afghans affected by drought and floods in the country.
The ambassador said his country is ready to increase the technical capacity of Afghan government institutions to manage natural disasters, the statement added.
Mr. Liu said China will support Afghanistan's efforts for peace and stability.
President Ghani meanwhile said the role of China is important in stability and progress of the region, adding that Kabul is ready for any kind of cooperation with Beijing.
This comes after recently Britain pledged about $13 million to provide food and aid to victims of natural disasters in the country.
Afghanistan National Disaster Management Authority said this aid will be distributed to 1.4 million people in 20 provinces in the country.
A report by UN in May said that at least two million people are at risk of severe food insecurity because of a devastating drought in Afghanistan.
The report said the hardest-hit are northern and western Afghanistan, where wheat planting has been either delayed or downsized in some 20 provinces, mainly because of a lack of rain and snowfall in the winter.
As many as 21,000 people were forced to leave their homes in western Badghis and Ghor provinces because of the drought, the report said.
The ambassador of China in Kabul says his country will help increase technical capacity of Afghan government institutions to manage natural disasters.

"Epically hummable" is our basic impression of Ladyhawke's music, but we also like the watercolor paintings that comprise all her visuals. So much so that, for the upcoming FADER 58 (drops 11/25!), we interviewed the artist and Ladyhawke's former roommate, the inimitable Sarah Larnach, for our Sleeves column. When we talked to her on the phone she was in London and had just finished touching up this video for "My Delirium." Behind the scenes info: she painted all the panels, then a team of dudes somehow animated them.

Belvoir Franchise Support Team Raise Over £3000 for MS Society UK
Nine members of the Belvoir Central Office Franchise Support Team joined forces to complete the Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge, raising over £3000 for the MS Society UK.
Chief Financial Officer, Louise George, who is a keen athlete, said: "This was a 25-mile walk that took on the peaks of Pen-y-ghent, Whernside and Ingleborough, and included 5,200ft of ascent. On the day there was a great team spirit, with everyone supporting each other to get over all the physical hills and mental barriers. It just shows what can be achieved when everyone works together; it was an amazing day and the Belvoir team was awesome.
"MS is an unpredictable condition, which affects more than 100,000 people in the UK. It's different for everyone, but is often painful, exhausting and can cause many problems with walking, movement, sight, and mental health. The donations, which total over £3,000, have been overwhelming. We would like to thank everyone that has sponsored us."
Caroline Kew, Area Fundraiser for the MS Society said:" I would like to offer a huge thank you to the staff of Belvoir's Central Office, their customers and business contacts for raising over £3,000 through their Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge. The amazing enthusiasm and commitment of everyone to support people who have been affected by multiple sclerosis is outstanding! The Belvoir team should be very proud of everything they have achieved."
Belvoir has 300 High Street Offices across the UK, and encourages all franchisees to support local and national charities, recognising their efforts by awarding the title of Charity Champion to the office that raises the most money each year. Belvoir Warrington, run by Gary and Amanda Pemberton, won the Charity Champion Award for a record third consecutive year at Belvoir's Annual Awards 2018 after raising thousands of pounds for the Children's Adventure Farm Trust (CAFT) and Macmillan cancer support.

Australian class actions rise
02 August 2016 | Australia
Legal Briefings – By Damian Grave
New report revealing trend towards shareholder claims.
As the class action mechanism in Australia approaches its 25th anniversary, a recent study presents some interesting findings about the Australian class actions environment. On 29 July 2016 Professor Vince Morabito from the Monash Business School released An Empirical Study of Australia's Class Action Regimes Fourth Report: Facts and Figures on Twenty-Four Years of Class Actions in Australia.
The Report, the fourth in the series, finds that:
In the last six years 49.5% of class actions were funded by commercial litigation funders, an increase from 23.4% in the six years prior;1
On average, the number of class actions being filed in Australia has increased;2
The predominance of product liability cases in the early days of the class action regime has been replaced by the prevalence of investor and securities class actions. Over the last 12 years 52.4% of all class actions commenced in the Federal Court comprise claims by investors or shareholders;3 and
The time taken to settle a class action has increased.4
Professor Morabito's report provides further evidence that class actions and litigation funders are a well-established part of Australia's litigation landscape.
The Regimes & number of filings
The first class action regime in Australia, Part IVA of the Federal Court Act was introduced by the Commonwealth Parliament with effect from 5 March 1992. This was followed by Pt 4A of the Supreme Court Act 1986 (Vic) with effect from 1 January 2000 and by Pt 10 of the Civil Procedure Act 2005 (NSW) with effect from 4 March 2011.
Professor Morabito's report shows that in the first 24 years of the regimes, 19.4 class actions were filed on average every 12 months.5 In the last six years this figure increased to an average of 29.1 class actions being filed every 12 months.6
The Report's findings suggest that the rise in the number of class actions being filed may be due to competing class actions being commenced in relation to the same or similar subject matter.7

Commercial litigation funders
The increasing role and influence of commercial litigation funders, observed by practitioners and corporate defendants over many years is also borne out in Professor Morabito's research.
In the first six years of the class actions regime in Australia not one proceeding was supported by a litigation funder. In the second six years, only 1.6% of class actions involved commercial litigation funders. This environment has now shifted with 49.5% of class actions commenced in the last six years in the Federal Court being funded by commercial litigation funders.8
Class actions involving litigation funders also had a higher settlement rate (92%) compared to unfunded actions at 48.9%.9
As we continue to observe, securities and investor actions continue to be the preferred type of class action for litigation funders, with 76% of funded Federal Court proceedings filed during the review period of the Report being brought on behalf of investors or shareholders.10 The rise in funding activity may in part explain the shift from the predominance of product liability cases in the early days of the Federal Court regime to the modern day prevalence of investor and securities class actions.
The Report identifies that on average, class actions that concluded in a settlement are taking a longer time to get there. The Report shows that in the first 12 years of the regime, the average time taken to reach a settlement was 795 days. In the second 12 years it took on average, 1107 days for the parties to reach a settlement.11
Professor Morabito's report provides further evidence that class actions and commercial litigation funders have become a well-established part of Australia's litigation landscape.

Review: Gambit
Director: Michael Hoffman
Starring: Colin Firth, Cameron Diaz, Alan Rickman, Stanley Tucci
The original 1966 film Gambit still remains a household favourite worldwide, and with the Coen Brothers scripting this remake, expectations were high. With Colin Firth leading the cast,, along with Alan Rickman and Cameron Diaz, the film seemed sure to be a hit. Further to this, Michael Hoffman's – director of the Oscar nominated The Last Station – presence behind the camera set the film up to be incredible. Unfortunately, it falls short of these expectations.
Harry Deane (Firth), is a downtrodden art curator who is constantly bullied by his nudist boss, media entrepreneur Lionel Shabandar (Rickman). Seeking revenge for years of ill-treatment, Deane and his friend and film narrator The Major (Tom Courtenay), a counterfeit painter, recruit hard-drinking Texas rodeo queen PJ Puznowski (Cameron Diaz) to help pull off an elaborate scheme against Shabandar involving a fake painting of a rare canvas by the Impressionist master Claude Monet. If the heist goes smoothly, Deane pockets a £12 million payment, while Shabandar is left none the wiser. However, Shabandar has a few tricks of his own and starts to seduce Puznowski, all the while pulling poor Deane's plan to shreds.
The film is full of traditional slapstick humour and there are a few good laughs. But the jokes are forced and perhaps linger for far too long, one of which leaves Firth without trousers for a half-hour of the film. Needless to say, it gets old fast. Diaz's Texan cowgirl accent is over the top, which perhaps lends itself nicely to the over exaggerated tone of the film, but eventually the cliché catchphrases become all too much.
At this point, when the viewer is thinking there is no real shining light in the film, nothing to make you recommend it to anyone… enter Stanly Tucci! As per usual, Mr. Tucci steals the show. He plays a snooty, camp, second rate German art curator, bringing the film back to life with skilled humour, a ridiculous accent and a few politically incorrect jokes.
The plot is all over the place and completely illogical. Although it follows the same fun-filled adventure of the original, it falls flat in its execution. The chemistry between Firth and Diaz is a little lacking, but that feels more a product of the structure rather than the performers themselves, and while the heist scenes are nicely staged, they lack a sense of surprise or energy. Firth, true to form, looks and plays the part of the uptight Brit perfectly and cannot be criticised. This is the part he plays best. There are a few racial and sexual blows which pull a few laughs, but ultimately, this time around, the Coen Brothers have missed the mark.
Overall, it's a good fun film with some great cinematography, but certainly doesn't hit the comedy heights expected from such a fantastic cast and brilliant scriptwriters. Truthfully, it's probably worth your while waiting for the DVD rather than shelling out for a ticket to this. Or better yet, watch the original.

Shaz watches live music for the first time in nearly seven months
The impact of Covid 19
The Tower of Song is a small music venue located in Cotteridge south west Birmingham. It's primarily a blues music venue, but hosts a whole variety of musicians. I've seen several solo bassists play the Tower of Song and as a bass player myself, I can say that it does not get much more niche than that. Watching a solo bassist play the bass like a synth is not for everybody. The Tower of Song is a musician's venue, where blues, jazz and experimental music thrives. Live music outside of the Arena headliners is struggling to get by. Small music venues that serve non mainstream music genres are vital community hubs. Gems similar to the Tower of Song continue to close down and this was before Covid 19 changed the live music landscape.
Like the rest of the live events industry Covid 19 has had a catastrophic impact on the music venue. It has been closed since March. A Crowdfunder for the Tower of Song successfully raised enough money to keep paying the bills during Lockdown and for the near future. Several artists held virtual fundraiser gigs from their living rooms. I watched a gig from Lobelia Lawson online that was in support of the Tower of Song. With the economy slowly reopening, the live music industry is one of the last industries to be allowed to reopen. Last Sunday marked the first live performance at the Tower of Song in a long time. The performance happened outside of the front of the building, with spectators sat socially distanced outside too. The bar was open, but nobody could sit inside. The performers had cover in case of rain. Luckily for us, the rain held off. About an hour before the gig started there was a heavy downpour of rain and so we feared that the gig would have to be cancelled.
Musicians get to play in front of real life people!
I'm not familiar with most of the acts that played, but I do know that owner Tom Martin opened proceedings. His voice can sound like Bob Dylan or Bruce Springsteen. The Springsteen sound is strengthened when accompanied by a Saxophonist like Tom was in this gig. Once Tom had finished playing with a band, we had a whole host of musicians playing short set lists on a wide range of instruments. We had a solo pianist, several solo acoustic guitarists and a couple more bands. Folk, blues, pop and lots of other genres of music were represented. Sadly, for Shaz though, there was no Nickelback or death metal, but maybe I'll fix that one day. Everybody who played has been involved with the Tower of music since before Lockdown. Everybody watching on had also been fans of the venue for a while. The sense of community was strong with those involved in the gig. We had all missed live music and we were delighted to be able to watch some in person once more. Social distancing rules were adhered to and the weather played nicely. I enjoyed four beers, which is the most amount of beers that I've had since March. The re-opening gig was a success. We hope that the Tower of Song can survive this continued period of turbulence. There will be more socially distanced gigs in the future as the venue looks to see how it can operate long term. At some point I'll try to sneak some death metal in via the keyboard or better yet Nickelback. I reckon most of the clientele would not recognise Nickelback so I think that I could get away with it.
There are potentially more Sunday, outdoor gigs planned. To find out more check out their facebook page or their website.
