Bamboo speaks up about what happened to Joniver Robles
Coach Bamboo to Joniver: "There's a life out there other than this show"
With the abrupt departure of Team Kawayan member Joniver Robles after "The Voice of the Philippines" knockout rounds, coach Bamboo Manalac admits it was a first for him to have to say goodbye to a contestant who had to leave the show for personal reasons. "I just wish him good luck. I wish him well and sad to see him go. It's a first I think anywhere maybe, I have no idea but then I just wish him well," he shares during his launch as the Jollibee Garlic Pepper Beef endorser held last January 21 in Craft Pub & Grill in BGC.
"The Voice of the Philippines" mentor says he has not spoken to the controversial contestant after the latter was taken out of the show and replaced with team member Rita Martinez whom he originally beat in the knockouts. "No, we have not spoken. I knew (about it) maybe a couple of weeks back already. It was in discussion and then that they agreed upon something that he was going for personal reasons and walk away from the show.
"So it was a surprise. It happens I guess. People have to remember there's a life out there other than this show so I think that's what's more important," he explains.
The 38-year-old singer says he is now trying his best to help prepare Rita for the live show and also to prepare her for some of the possible backlash online from Joniver's supporters. "I had no idea (about that) so I'll talk to her about that definitely when I see her I think on Friday. Ako lang (I want to tell her) stay away from the negativity, focus on the now and yun moment na yun. Ang dami niyang kailangan isipin ngayon and this is her moment eh. I just want her to do her best and shine from this. Personally I thought nung Kamp Kawayan the knockouts we're not our best eh because one thing I hate about knockouts is hindi ko song choice. I don't have any say in the song choice, sila pumili which of course on some level I want to guide them as much as possible. Every song counts eh, napaka-importante ng song choice na yun eh. So sana next year may say ako sa knockouts sa kakantahin nila. So this time around I have a say, so let's see yung song na pinili ko for Rita, if she will be redeemed by that. I'm wishing her the best," he says.
The new Jollibee endorser admits he is at a loss for words about Joniver's controversial statements on his public social media account that he still has no idea why he was removed from the show but Bamboo says his former team member should just move on from the experience because it is doing him more harm than good to vent online. " Yes, if it's negative stuff yeah. I mean, because ako lang, I told him when he chose me, naalala ko that moment when he chose me and he was saying he was going to veer off to another coach and he was thinking of other things. I told him, 'Think past the show because I really believe in your talent. You're such a good artist, a good singer. He hasn't let me down on that accord eh. He made great choices and bumagay sa kanya and it fit. Again it's sad for me to see him go pero everything happens for a reason. We have to believe that. Things happen for a reason. Things have happened to me na oh my gosh what's going to happen and then the sun comes up the next day and you just have to get to it di ba? We work and we live, that's life eh. There are disappointments. It's how you rise above. That's the test to us. So siya, ang tanong ko is how does he rise above that right? And I always say to everyone to take the high road. Enough of the negativity. They just have to support the guy with or without the show and look forward to seeing what happens after di ba?" he admits.
Even though Kamp Kaywayan has yet to produce a "The Voice" grand winner, Bamboo says losing Joniver is not a big blow to his team's chances of producing top contenders for the finals. "I don't like to think that. I don't think so. He was a fine addition. He was great but I can say equally that I still have a great team and I'm looking forward to working with them for this weekend for the live show," he states.

The U.S. Government's 1959 Memo On Yeti Encounters
Could the improper discovery or killing of a Yeti in Nepal have provoked an international incident? Slate writes:
Titled "Regulations Governing Mountain Climbing Expeditions in Nepal—Relating to Yeti," this Foreign Service memo was issued from the American Embassy in Kathmandu on November 30, 1959. Did the U.S. government believe in the Yeti, as some cryptozoologists took the memo to mean?
The memo came at the end of a decade of strenuous Yeti-hunting. In 1953, Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay climbed Everest, and reported seeing large tracks. In 1954, the Daily Mail funded a sixteen-week "Snowman Expedition" to Everest to look for clues. And in the late 1950s, American oil millionaire Tom Slick bankrolled a number of Himalayan expeditions in search of the creature.

Award-winning poet, Roger McGough today unveiled the world's biggest 'dreamcatcher' at London's Potters Fields Park to mark the release of ' Hopes and Dreams for the Big Day'. The uplifting poem, commissioned by Freeview and written by Roger McGough captures the nation's anticipation and excitement for an unprecedented summer of sport.
To mark the most significant sporting period in British TV history, during which millions of people have gathered together to watch in high definition, Freeview asked people on Twitter and Facebook to share their hopes and dreams for our sporting men and women. Inspired by their comments, Roger McGough, who is often billed as 'the people's poet', has created a rousing piece that captures the nation's mood.
Set against the majestic backdrop of London's eminent Tower Bridge, Roger marked the release of the poem by symbolically unveiling the world's biggest-ever 'dreamcatcher', which measures three metres in diameter with a nine metre circumference. Sporting emblematic colours of red, white and blue, the 'dreamcatcher' and Roger's poem will be on display all day for passers-by to view and enjoy.
Share your hope and dreams on Twitter @FreeviewTV including #hopesanddreams.
The poem is up at first light.
Has finally arrived. The end is in sight.
It lifts, it throws, it aims, it serves.
The dreaming is over, now it's time to compete.

I tortelli di zucca di Villanova de Bellis sono un primo piatto tradizionale della cucina mantovana, tipico del territorio di San Giorgio Bigarello (quando ancora il nome era San Giorgio di Mantova), che ha acquisito dal 2017 lo stato di "De.C.O." (Denominazione comunale d'origine).

L'impasto, composto da zucca (preferibilmente di varietà Delica o simile), mostarda di Mantova, grana padano DOP, amaretti di mandorla,  noce moscata, pangrattato, sale, pepe, scorza di limone, viene inserito in un involucro di sfoglia all'uovo. Dopo la bollitura, i tortelli vengono conditi con burro fuso in tegame, aromatizzato con salvia, versato direttamente nel piatto ed aggiunto di abbondante grana grattugiato.

Home / Profiles / Adam Fearnall, Political Science & English
Co-Founder, Twelve Canada
It was clear from the very start, Huron is a place that recognizes each student's value and everyone is willing to work hard to help you make the most of it. It was and will always be a place I am very proud of.
Adam is a thought leader who transforms dynamic ideas into solutions that drive social change. The Huron alumnus is a co-founder of Twelve Canada, a registered charitable organization that supports the leadership teams of social change projects that renew community life. The team at Twelve Canada has made its mark by completing research and evaluation projects for community-focused organizations that provide Leaders with Heart with the information that they need to increase their impact.
Twelve Canada's work is guided by principles of effective communication, compassionate leadership and the development of creative, actionable solutions. While Adam has always been a forward thinker, his time at Huron encouraged him to recognize the importance of these values and how their application can inspire individuals and communities.
When Adam applied to Huron, he recalls receiving a hand-written note from the Principal, congratulating him on his scholarship and extending an invitation to meet as soon as the school year began. "That level of commitment and recognition of each individual student stuck with me," Adam says. "I always noticed the far-reaching dedication of the faculty and staff to nurture relationships and provide the personal attention students need to succeed."
With this individualized support, Adam achieved extraordinary academic and extracurricular success. In 2010, he became the President of the Huron Student Council, and then led Western University at its President and CEO in 2012. Adam furthered his passion for social innovation when he co-founded the London Youth Advisory Council (LYAC) with fellow Huron alumni, Matt Ross. During his time at the LYAC, he brought youth voices into mainstream conversations about changes that needed to take place to engage young people in shaping political systems.
"I would encourage Huron students to be open to experimenting with different ideas. If it doesn't work out, you will have the support and the skills to adapt," Adam says. "I lean on my English and Political Science degree all the time. My role demands I am able to critically think about and communicate ideas to people who are operating in the complex systems I learned about during the attainment of my degree."
The Liberal Arts education Adam received at Huron continues to help him identify creative approaches to the obstacles he encounters when tackling barriers to social change. Adam works with organizations across Canada to inspire them to build projects that empower people to create lasting community impact.

Caleb Hayhoe, Founder & Chairman, Flowerdale Group Ltd.
Caleb Hayhoe is the Founder & Chairman of Flowerdale Group and a Huron Class of '85 Alumnus. Flowerdale Group is a Hong Kong based family office with a global investment outlook across public markets, real estate and private investment. Hayhoe previously spent over ten years building a global sourcing business together with an exceptional team, and remains committed to entrepreneurialism and helping great ideas become sustainable companies.
Hayhoe prioritizes character above all else when looking at who and what to invest in. "I have hired hundreds of people, and what I always look for is how people do things," Hayhoe says. "As the world becomes increasingly globalized, businesses have access to countless intelligent, qualified people. However, cultural capital is what really counts: you need to be willing to learn, work well with people from diverse backgrounds and accept ideas that starkly differ from your own."
Hayhoe, who currently lives in London, UK, remains an avid believer in the value of a Liberal Arts education. As a member of Huron's Board of Governors, he hopes to reaffirm and support the responsibility of educational institutions to develop graduates who have integrity and who recognize the importance of balancing financial success with social responsibility.
He looks forward to working with Huron's Board of Governors to create a legacy at Huron that stands for the core fundamental values of treating people with dignity and respect and acting in the best interests of society.
"I am excited about the opportunity to help my alma mater become an even more representative and dynamic school that emphasizes integrity, celebrates uniqueness and never loses that sense of home it had when I attended," he says.

A Unique Undergraduate Learning Environment
The Huron Experience is truly one-of-a-kind. While most universities take in thousands of students every year, Huron selectively limits our annual incoming cohort to around 500 students each year. Even though we keep our community strategically small, we ensure they are truly representative of our global community, and we welcome exceptional young leaders from dozens of countries all over the world to our campus each year. This means, the average number of students in your classes will be 33 rather than 300, 500 or 800 like most other undergraduate programs. Plus, our student to faculty ratio is only 11:1. For us, the quality of your experience will always be more important than merely increasingly the quantity of our students.
Most undergraduate learning environments in Canada involve sitting in a lecture hall with hundreds of students, watching slideshows and memorizing textbooks. Huron classes are different. Here, professors will mentor you, not lecture you. You will engage with the course materials through interaction and debate with your peers and learn in the real-world through capstone projects, high-level research unique on the undergraduate level, as well as through real-life learning experiences throughout Canada and around the world.
Why do we do this? Because it's all about you. At Huron, you can expect a premium undergraduate experience. Our staff and faculty will know your name, not just your student number. We will know your story and are personally invested in making sure you achieve your goals and maximize your potential.
Powerful Career & Alumni Connections
Huron's alumni network includes world-renowned leaders, in every industry, who you can learn from, network with and emulate. Huron alumni live in 59 countries worldwide and Lead with Heart in business, government, technology, law, international affairs and more.
With a graduating class of 400 students rather than 4,000, it's possible to connect each and every student with an alumni mentor who will be personally invested in your success and can directly connect you to career opportunities where they work. This can make the difference between starting out in an entry level position and attaining a distinguished career.
Plus, you'll never have to search for mentorship or a job alone. You will have one-on-one guidance from your Career Development Team who works hard solely to provide our talented students with alumni mentors working in the field or organization of your dreams.
How do Huron's distinct advantages develop exceptional alumni? Our campus, which has the resources to nurture individual gifts, creates an environment where you're strongly encouraged to show up and speak out. Within our interactive classrooms, there's no sitting back and passively taking in information. Instead, you learn presentation, debate and the kind of human and leadership skills that will be most in demand in a world of ever-increasing automation and artificial intelligence.
World-Class Partnerships
Huron – Harvard Collaboration
Our university promises to deliver on an education that is as prestigious as it is principled, and part of that commitment involves our collaboration with the world's highest calibre of institutions. When you choose Huron, you gain access to partnership opportunities at the world-renowned Harvard University.
Huron is the only Ontario university to supplement the development of your head and heart with a Harvard certificate

This Ivy League badge of honour is the perfect supplement to a well-rounded Liberal Arts degree and will ensure future employers recognize your dedication to business best practices, as well as accountable leadership.
Huron – Ivey Dual Degree Programs
The Ivey Business School is Canada's first and most prestigious business school. Complete your first two years at Huron and apply to Ivey's Honours Business Administration (HBA) program. Students can also apply for Advanced Entry Opportunity (AEO) conditional, pre-admission status to the HBA program from secondary school
Because of our small classes, one-on-one faculty mentorship and opportunities to build leadership skills through internships, volunteering, community-based learning and travel study, Huron students can keep their grades high and build impressive extracurricular portfolios — all of which are vital to acceptance at
Guaranteed Paid Internships
Paid Internships: At Huron, every single student is guaranteed a paid internship, so you will get to connect your learning with workplace experience and earn while you learn.
Entry-level work positions no longer require entry-level experience. To secure a job right after graduation, you need to show employers you're capable of contributing significant value to your workplace.
At Huron's Career Development Centre, you will work one-on-one with your advisor to find the right fit for your paid internship. Your personal Career Development team member will help connect you with a position that sparks your curiosity and nurtures your interests, while providing you with experiences to add to your resume. Huron has an extensive group of esteemed alumni who are leading industries, around the world, and are eager to give back by providing our students with internship and career opportunities. This, along with our strategically selective campus, means you're not competing with hundreds of students for internship positions, so Huron students always have a better chance to secure a meaningful experience.

He'd stayed nearby on a business trip the year before we moved here. Even though there was some snow on the ground, the temps were in the high 50s with lots of that Colorado sun, so we set out.
Cherry Creek State Park covers 4000 acres; 880 of those acres are covered by the reservoir, which has an average depth of 46 feet. In the picture below, you can see the reservoir – about a third iced-over – in the foreground, the Denver Tech Center (DTC) skyline in the midground, and the Rockies in the background.
Cherry Creek, for which the park is named, rises in the Front Range of the Rockies and actually flows north and northeast, though downhill, of course, for about 48 miles toward Denver where it flows into the South Platte River. Isn't it amazing that the South Platte then flows into the Platte, which flows into the Missouri, which flows into the Mississippi, then into the Gulf? Geology.
Anyway, in 1950 the Army Corps of Engineers built a 140-foot high dam that spans 14,300 feet across Cherry Creek to control disastrous flooding that had plagued the area for generations. The Army Corps still owns and operates the dam. That created the reservoir. Nine years later, the park opened.
Here's a pic of the Dam Tower (my favorite name for a tower). It houses the sluices that allow water through the dam.
On top the dam is the Dam Road, my favorite road name of all time.
They are currently trying to figure out how to improve the dam. There isn't anything wrong with it, but since it was built, 300,000 more people live in the near-downstream area than lived there when it was built. If a biblical-proportion flood came along, those houses would be at risk. So they're trying to figure out whether to build the dam six feet higher or whatever. But even if they do that, the people upstream would get flooded out. What to do? I'll let the engineers figure that out.
But back to the park. It's open year-round, with lots of things to do there, such as RV or tent camping.
They've just reopened the stables for the summer this month, so you can go horseback riding now. The park has picnic areas, a gift shop, some concessions and lots of parking.
You can fish, jet-ski and boat on the water. I saw a sign saying every boat must be inspected before it is allowed on the reservoir. What I thought was a pollution-control measure, though, turns out to be something quite different: there's an invasive mussel species that has nearly ruined a few other water bodies in Colorado, and they are trying to prevent it from coming to Cherry Creek Reservoir. In fact, boats from Green Mountain Reservoir on the western side of the Rockies have a standing mandatory decontamination order because they found the mussels there. Apparently the larvae can get into a boat's motor and be spread that way.
I was quite surprised to see people ICE-FISHING on the lake, even though it didn't look very frozen over to me! See those crazy dudes in the middle in this photo? That's an awl between them on the ice.
They're braver than I am to step out on that ice on a warmish winter day!
We also discovered a model-airplane field in the park, operated by the Denver R/C flying club. It has paved runways, a windsock and everything!
Other things to do in the park: archery, hiking, biking, birding, canoeing/rafting/kayaking, cross-country skiing, showshoeing, ice skating, volleyball, waterskiing and wildlife viewing. You can rent bikes, fishing boats, horses, jet skis, paddle boats, pontoons and ski boats, too.
Fun fact: In 1993, Cherry Creek State Park hosted Pope John Paul II, along with 500,000 faithful for an outdoor Catholic mass. They were celebrating World Youth Day.
Although I don't think any popes are planning a visit soon, I'm looking forward to seeing the park in its summer finery in the near future. Look for photos of that!


Who are your top customers by Profit or Life Time Value?
Have you ever stopped and calculated who are your best customers? It sounds simple but how often do you identify and rank the customers who drive the most profit for your business?
Ranking these customers from highest to lowest by Profit or Life Time Value lets you see which individuals or groups drive an outsized portion of your business results. When you can look at a single list and see your main customers you have the power to identify the unique characteristics of your customers and work hard to attract more. Is it who they are, where they live, or what they buy?
Knowing that answer can be more valuable than just making a sale. By focusing your customer service, marketing, promotions and sales offers you can build the long-term value of these customers. You can also find more existing and new customers who share the same characteristics as well as empower these customers to become advocates of your business.
Do you know what you spend on gaining new customers compared to keeping the customers that you already have? How effective are you at keeping your current customers? With all of the time, resources, and money put into acquiring customers it is important to know that your efforts aren't wasted when customers don't remain loyal.
Your customer retention rate is a great way to measure how successfully you are maintaining customer relationships. On a more granular level, you also need to know which types of customer you are remaining loyal and at which point in the relationship a customer leaves, so that you can make the necessary adjustments.
According to a recent study by social media marketing software provider, Flowtown, they found that maintaining existing customers costs six to seven times less than acquiring new customers. A study by Bain and Company reported that increasing your customer retention rates by just five percent led to an increase in profits between 25 and 95 percent.
The first thing you need to do to calculate your retention rate is identify the specific period of time you're focusing on. Perhaps you're looking at the last year or maybe the last six months.
Next, you need to know how many customers you had at the end of that period of time. If you're calculating a current retention rate at the end of the period during which you'd like to measure, it might be as easy as determining how many customers you currently have. This number is represented by CE in the formula.
You also need to know how many new customers were acquired during the period of interest, so that you don't include them as retained customers in your final retention measurement. This number is represented by CN in the formula. Now you're ready to do your first calculation: subtract your CN number (new customers acquired during the period) from your CE number (number of customers at the end of the period).
Finally, you want to turn that number into a percentage by multiplying it by 100. Your final number is your customer retention rate for your period of interest. ((CE-CN)/CS)) x 100.
Based on an article by on the socious community blog.
Sounds simple but identify your customers who drive the most profit for your business. Rank them and understand how impactful they are as individuals or as a segment for your business.
Ranking these customers from highest to lowest by Profit or Life Time Value lets you see which individuals or groups drive an outsized portion of your business results. When you can look at a single list and see your main customers you have the power to identify the unique characteristics of this group and work hard to attract more. Is it who they are, where they live, or what they buy?
Knowing that answer can be more valuable than just making the sale. By focusing your customer service, marketing, promotions, and sales offers, you can build the long-term value with these customers and find more existing and new customers who share the same characteristics.
Do you have a good balance of returning vs new customers? How well you are maintaining your customer relationships over time? How much do new customers compared to your returning customer spend with you?
The returning vs new customer metric can help you to compare the value an average new customer brings to your business vs a returning customer over the lifetime of your relationship. It's worth considering with this metric the costs associated of attracting new customers compared to that of existing customers.
Use this metric to monitor the split over time or see how the business generated between the two groups varies over time. It can be an early indication of longer term customers views towards your organisation and their likely purchase intentions. For a product that supports repeat customers more so than one-time buyers, this can be the difference between struggling and thriving business.


,' is a spirited story featuring custom-designed small aircraft known as quadrotors that roam through various locations in Vancouver, Canada at night. Executed by CHI & Partners in collaboration with Director Sam Brown of Rogue Films and KMel Robotics, the 60-second spot utilized OptiTrack motion capture technology, including 35 Prime 41 cameras and Motive software, to track the flying robots.
CHI & Partners approached KMel in July 2013 to create what would become 'Swarm.' KMel co-founders Daniel Mellinger and Alex Kushleyev, along with their team of engineers, worked heavily with the director and agency creative team to shape the direction of the piece and establish interesting quadrotor movements that could be executed in the real world. As the parameters were being finalized, KMel solidified the motion capture pipeline that would be used to track the vehicles.
KMel, taking design cues from Lexus vehicles, crafted every aspect of the quadrotors – including shape, size, hardware, software and on-board electronics. The OptiTrack motion capture system was used as a simulated GPS for controlling the quadrotors in various formations. The system tracked the quads in full infrared (IR), streaming 6DoF position and orientation data to a control computer that commanded the quadrotors to follow precise trajectories determined by heavy math and algorithms – resulting in the execution of complex maneuvers with apparent ease.
The September filming took place over the course of five nights in indoor and outdoor locations across Vancouver, including a swimming pool, supermarket and the Museum of Anthropology. Given the tight timeline, the OptiTrack setup was split into two groupings that enabled the production to leapfrog from one shot to the next. An ambitious eighteen different motion capture setups in volumes ranging from 2m x 1m x 1m to 12m x 4m x 3m were deployed throughout the shoot. To further complicate onsite logistics, there were physical limitations as to where the cameras could be mounted in each setup and still provide enough coverage so that the quadrotors could be accurately controlled without appearing in the shot.
Entertainment customers include: Electronic Arts, Microsoft Game Studios, Cloud Imperium, Ubisoft, Rockstar Games, The Moving Picture Company, Animatrik Film Design, and other top studios and developers around the world. Engineering customers include: Boeing, KMel Robotics, NASA, Oculus VR, Lockheed Martin, John Deere, Mechdyne, Under Armour, Stanford University, Duke University, Laser Shot, Mitsubishi, and Dassault Systems.

Equity Returns: Sources and Drivers for the First Decade of the 21st Century
We formed Epoch Investment Partners, Inc. in 2004 to take advantage of the changing dynamics of the global marketplace. Specifically, we perceived a paradigm shift in the order of the sources of returns: a phenomenon, which, in our opinion, no investor could afford to ignore. Over the years, our investment philosophy has revolved around this specific understanding of how the markets generate return. Now, in the first decade of the 21st century, this framework continues to provide new and valuable perspectives to the informed investor.
The heart and soul of our investment philosophy is captured in Figures 1 and 2.
Figure 1: Components of Compound Annual Total Returns for Trailing 10-year Periods (S&P 500 Index 1926-2006)
Source: Epoch Investment Partners, Inc. and Standard & Poor's
Figure 2: Components of Total Returns by Decade (S&P 500 Index 1927-2006)
Figure 1 shows an 80-year history of equity returns over rolling ten-year periods. Figure 2 shows the same information, but displayed decade by decade. In both figures, the black line for "Total Return" shows a wide range of outcomes: during some decades, returns approached 20% per year. At other times, however, returns were in the low single-digit territory.
To understand how these fluctuations occur – and to devise an investment model that will capture the resulting opportunities – it is necessary to disaggregate "Total Return" into its component parts: the sources of return. There are only three sources of return – earnings, dividends, and P/E ratios. In Figures 1 and 2, each of these sources is shown as an individual contributor to overall market performance. The important thing to keep in mind is that the sources of return never change, but their order of importance does. That, is, during any given decade, one of these variables exerts a more dominant influence on total equity return than the other two. In the 1980s and 1990s, for instance, the P/E ratio had the largest positive effect on the era's spectacular market performance.
Let's take a closer look, however, at the behavior of the P/E ratio. It is clear that P/E expansion can have a dramatic positive impact on total return. But it is crucial to note that the contribution of this variable is highly erratic: sometimes positive, sometimes negative. Specifically, when the P/E ratio expands, the stock market generally produces double-digit returns, and when the ratio contracts, returns fall into the single-digits.
The 20-year period between 1980 and 2000 was one of the eras in which P/E expansion significantly enhanced market performance. As noted earlier, these decades generated record-breaking equity returns, in terms of both size and duration. During this time, the S&P 500 (our proxy for equity returns in general) compounded at 17.6 % per year. As shown in Table 1, this growth was predominantly driven by P/E expansion.
Table 1: S&P 500 Total Return (1980-2000)
What caused this historic expansion in P/E multiples? The answer is falling interest rates. Figure 3 shows how interest rates and P/E ratios are highly correlated in an inverse manner.1 When one falls, the other rises – and vice versa. For the two decades between 1980 and 2000, plummeting interest rates led to skyrocketing P/Es, which resulted in huge growth in total equity returns.
Figure 3: P/E's and Interest Rates: Long-term History S&P Index (1954-2006)
Source: The Federal Reserve and Standard & Poor's
But, as any investor knows, the current investment landscape has started to bear less and less resemblance to the bygone days of rampant P/E expansion. In our opinion, this paradigm shift is based around the belief that future interest rates are more likely to rise than fall and therefore, P/E ratios are more likely to fall than rise. This assertion has already proven true for the first six years of this decade, as shown in Figures 1 and 2. It is important to note that, in the early part of the decade, this P/E decline reflected the bursting of the equity and dot.com bubbles, in addition to the collapse of the NASDAQ. More recently however, the modest decline in P/E multiples reflects the fact that interest rates bottomed in June 2003 at 3.11%.2 Since then, the 150 basis point rise in interest rates has kept downward pressure on P/E ratios, which has contributed negatively to total equity returns in the 2000-2006 period.
The negative outlook for P/E ratios brings us back to our previous discussion of the sources of equity return. Again, there are only three sources: P/Es, earnings and dividends. So far, we have only discussed one of these sources; now, let's consider the impact of the remaining two.
By revisiting Figures 1 and 2, it is clear that earnings and dividends have had a consistently positive effect on total return throughout the history of the markets. This distinguishes them from the highly volatile P/E ratio. Over the past six years in particular, earnings and dividends have continued to boost total return, while P/Es have hindered market performance. Among these three sources of return, earnings have been especially strong during this period, compounding at over 8% per annum. Like P/Es in the 1980s and 1990s, earnings have recently reached record highs, but may be poised for an upcoming decline from their recent double-digit growth rates.
The recent increase and potential decrease in the return-generating importance of the earnings variable can be explained by three factors. The most relevant factor behind the increase is globalization. The addition of three billion people into our capitalistic society has effectively doubled the world's workforce. However, while these people represent a huge addition to available labor, they have brought no capital with them into the global marketplace. As a result, the world has seen a seismic shift in the relationship of economic returns between labor and capital. That is, return to capital has soared while return to labor has grown much more slowly.3 This fact is reflected in the strong earnings growth of corporations around the world.
In fact, return to capital (which is a function of earnings, or profit as a percentage of GDP) is now at an all-time high, as shown in Figure 4. Many forecasters anticipate an impending reversal to this growth pattern, but we do not believe such a decline will be the result of globalization. While corporate earnings (i.e. the profits to GDP ratio in Figure 4) may soon flatten or perhaps decline, the overall effect of globalization has been a permanent shift upwards to return on capital. This has occurred simply because we have re-wired the world's factory floor and must continue the integration of hundreds of millions of new laborers into the global workforce. The application of Ricardo's Law of Comparative Advantage has facilitated this remarkable process, while at the same time allowing for an acceleration of worldwide real GDP growth, higher global productivity and lower inflation.4 Figure 5 illustrates how globalization has resulted in the rapid rise of global trade as a percent of world GDP. In short, globalization has been a positive force, lifting both corporate earnings and human aspirations around the world. Although not every person or local industry may have benefited from our new borderless economy, it has been a collective win for all nations. We have seen this reflected in the recent prominence of earnings as a dominant source of total equity return.

The second most important explanatory factor for the recent gains in corporate earnings – and, perhaps, their potential decline – is the worldwide housing bubble. In the U.S., this has been the biggest housing bubble in 100 years – and it is over. While it remains difficult to predict the speed and impact with which this bubble will pop, its scale and perpetuation has already exerted a dramatic influence on company earnings.
In a previous white paper5, we illustrated the sources of corporate earnings over the past four years. Corporate profit gains over this period were driven by several variables, many of which were directly related to the housing bubble: consumption exceeded disposable personal income by $140 billion; investment spending rose by $440 billion, with residential investment companies generating over 65% of that number; the fiscal deficit grew by $380 billion; and the trade deficit rose by $410 billion (a subtraction to the profits total). The nearly $300 billion increase in residential spending also spawned the gap in consumer spending and disposable personal income through the aid of the home equity loan, "no doc" mortgages, and other sub-prime lending schemes. As a result of these combined factors, earnings continued to grow, boosting overall market returns.
However, as discussed in a more recent white paper from January 2007 – "Goldilocks is Dead" – residential housing is about to go into a recession, which will in turn negatively affect consumer spending. These two events will significantly slow corporate earnings gains.
In other words, earnings were turbo-charged by the residential investment spending and home equity loan expansion that comprised the recent housing bubble. Now, as the bubble pops, direct residential investment spending will actually contract this year from 2006 levels, which will lead to an earnings decline.
The third damper on continued earnings growth is the rise in unit labor costs. In many cases, unit labor costs can be used as a proxy for profit margins. Figure 6, shows how the combination of rising productivity and low-wage increase resulted in several years of falling unit labor, which had a beneficial impact on profit margins and, therefore, on earnings. This year, however, we are starting to see a reversal in this positive trend.
Figure 6: Non Farm Unit Labor Cost: YoY% Change, 1996-2006
Source: Bureau of Labor Statistic
Our discussion of earnings has led to the following conclusion: the double digit earnings gains of 2002 to 2006 are likely behind us. While earnings should continue to rise in 2007 and 2008, this growth will occur at a more modest, low-single-digit rate.
Now that we have discussed the first two sources of equity return – P/Es and earnings – we are left with the third and final source: dividends. Dividends, like earnings, are always additive to equity returns. And, in our view, they represent today's most compelling investment return source.
In our recent book, Free Cash Flow and Shareholder Yield: New Priorities for the Global Investor6, we develop the argument for why free cash flow will emerge as the dominant allocator of capital in the public markets (as it already has in private equity and capital budgeting decisions within corporate Treasury departments). This leads to the conclusion that dividends – because they are often a preferred method of free cash flow deployment – will become a dominant driver of total equity returns.
Our definition of a dividend goes beyond the traditional cash dividend; it also encompasses share buybacks and debt paydowns. Behind this definition lies a fundamental investment truth: if a firm can invest an unencumbered (free) dollar of cash flow at its cost of capital or higher, it should do so, as it is accretive to shareholder value. Such an investment can take the form of an internal investment or an acquisition. On the other hand, if a firm cannot reinvest that dollar of free cash flow at its cost of capital, it should return that dollar to its investors through one of three means: cash dividends, share repurchases, or debt paydowns. In an economic sense, these three cash deployment options are all functionally dividends. We refer to these dividends collectively as shareholder yield.7
Dividends, free cash flow, and shareholder yield have never been more crucial to successful investing than they are today. Corporations, particularly in the U.S., have never been more liquid. Dividends have not kept pace, however, with this growth in free cash flow. Figure 7 shows that dividends as a percent of cash flow is almost at a 30-year low. The 2006 dividend payout ratio for the S&P 500 was 29%, the lowest in 12 years and much lower than its historical average level of 45% to 50%.
Figure 7: Dividends as a Share of Free Cash Flow 1974 through January 2007
Source: Corporate Reports, Empirical Research Partners Analysis. Largest 1,500 stocks; data smoothed on a trailing one-year basis. Excluding Microsoft's special dividend in 12/2004.
Taken together, this data points to the market's capacity for increased dividend payouts, whether in the form of cash or stock buybacks. In fact, the trend toward higher stock buybacks has already made itself apparent within the equity markets; according to Standard & Poor's, S&P 500 companies repurchased $464 billion with of shares in 2006, nearly $100 billion more than 2005 which was $100 billion more than 2004. It is only a matter of time before case dividends and debt paydowns – the other two components of dividend-derived Shareholder Yield – follow suit. When this occurs, total equity return will certainly be impacted. We can already see evidence of this trend today: Morgan Stanley has pointed out, for example, that if one combines the current totals for cash dividends and share buybacks (net of share increases and option exercised) the effective yield on the U.S. market is over 4%.
The burgeoning popularity of dividend-based cash deployment strategies can also be seen in emergence of restricted stock units (RSUs). Corporate pay policies are abandoning options for RSUs, largely because options are now required to be expensed by the FASB. Plus, with interest rates more likely to rise than fall, windfalls from options are increasingly unlikely. RSU plans, on the other hand, allow for management and employees to receive the dividends paid on vested and awarded (not yet vested) shares. To us, this seems like an excellent indication that dividends – in the forms of cash dividends, share repurchase, and debt paydowns – are on the rise as an increasingly important source of total equity return.
In summary, the investment philosophy at Epoch is based around the changing order of the sources of equity return. We believe that, for the foreseeable future, P/Es are unlikely to expand, and earnings growth will be more moderate than in the recent past. Hence, dividends, in all three forms, may well emerge as the dominant component of positive equity returns. Because of this focus on dividends, investors should learn everything they can about a company's free cash flow: its source, its transparency, its growth rate, its volatility and its optimum applications given the firm's cost of capital. As we continue to face the realities of the new millennium, this strategy offers the best chance for successfully navigating the global investment landscape.

Q: What is the best strategy to convert silverlight application to html? We have an application that is heavily used. In this application we have business logic in our viewmodels and in the service layer
Now we need to migrate the app to html because of performance issues, plus considering that Microsoft throw out the support for this technology.
We can't just stop the application for several months to finish it's migration. Our clients needs to use it. My first approach will be to migrate all the business logic to the services, making the app a thin client, so we can later use the services for ayax calls in a new ui, made with html
Do you have any experience with this migrations? What are the pros and cons?

A: We are currently doing one of these projects
what I would recommend is following

*

*Have all business logic that aren't UI specific or silverlight specific in its own Business Libraries.

*Put a service layer WCF or WebAPI (REST) on top of the Business logic so all the business logic can be accessed via different technologies

*Use AngularJS or ASP.NET MVC + AngularJS combination so you can keep MV* pattern going and most probably use most of your ViewModel logic with bit change while giving some what similar experience to customers that are used to silverlight UI
1 and 2 was very important in our project because it gave that clean separation and flexibility to expand to any client machine without changing minimum code. Ex: later if we decided to make an Android app you just have to transfer only viewmodel logic without touching your business logic or services.

Tony Blair's attempts to derail the referendum result are contemptible
Patrick O'Flynn
Patrick O'Flynn was MEP for the East of England between 2014 and 2019, representing UKIP between 2014 and November 2018, when he joined the SDP. He is the SDP candidate for the 2019 Peterborough by-election. All views expressed are his personal views.
Some people become stuck in their halcyon days, seeking to deny the passage of time and the changing of circumstances because they wish to keep things just the same as when they were in their prime.
When Tony Blair made his latest intervention on Brexit, two things came to mind. First, oddly enough, was a lyric in a song by James Blunt: "And though time goes by/ I will always be/ In a club with you/ In nineteen seventy three/ Singing, here we go again."
You see, Tony and I travelled the world together back in the day – albeit he was mainly in a secluded cabin with his key aides at the front of the specially chartered plane and I was just one more lobby journalist at the back. Don't feel any sympathy by the way – we had a row of seats each and club class service on tap. Singing, here we go again.
And it wasn't 1973 but 1997 and beyond. In fact, the second thing that came to mind in the wake of Mr Blair's plea to overturn Brexit is an image of him as a vigorous new Prime Minister at an EU summit in Amsterdam in the summer of '97, winning an impromptu bicycle race of national leaders.
This moment was laden with symbolism, for Blair decreed that the era of Britain's foot-dragging over the EU project had ended with his election and from now on the UK would be "at the heart of Europe". He was lauded as the hot new thing – rather as President Macron is being lauded now. Pretty soon he was turning his mind to how to get Britain into the euro, beginning a terrific tug-of-war with the Treasury which mercifully he ended up losing (well played there, Mr Balls).
In his own subconscious mind at least, I am convinced Mr Blair is still the young heroic figure peddling that bicycle from 1997 – before his administration reacted to A8 accession by allowing instant access to the UK labour market, before the euro crisis, before the Lisbon Treaty that turned the EU into a legal state and was ratified without a referendum, before the Merkel-inspired migration crisis and before the British people delivered the verdict of June 2016 that at last confirmed that 40 years of Whitehall inspired transfers of UK sovereignty were not what they ever wanted.
Mr Blair says democracy did not stop on 23rd June, 2016. Indeed it did not – though the wheels of government have turned rather slowly in respect of enacting the decision. He says people's thinking on a topic tends to evolve as more information emerges. And indeed it does, though there is no sign of a widespread public wish to abandon Brexit.
But let us remind ourselves of the terms of the referendum that Mr Blair's side lost despite – or perhaps in part because of – his enthusiastic participation. The overwhelming majority of MPs voted through the EU Referendum Bill that handed the decision on EU membership to the people. In an official communication to every household, the Government set out its case for remaining in the EU. But in that same document it made two key pledges to voters. The first one was that the referendum was a "once in a generation" decision. The second was: "This is your decision. The Government will implement what you decide".
There was no caveat that said: "Unless we don't like what it in which case we reserve the right to fail to implement it or make you vote again until you come up with the answer we wanted all along."
So it simply will not do for Mr Blair or the rest of Continuity Remain to demand a second referendum to give the thumbs up or thumbs down to Brexit, based on a final agreement with the EU. For a start, the very prospect of such a thing would incentivise the EU to make the deal utterly unpalatable – as Blair well knows. But more importantly that would completely flout the terms under which the 2016 referendum was fought. A "once in a generation" decision would be subsumed into a second vote within three years and the Government would have betrayed its promise to implement what people decided on 23rd June, 2016. Our democracy would be exposed as a sham and our society massively destabilised as a consequence.
There is a perfectly honourable position for pro-EU campaigners to take that says once the 2016 referendum verdict has been implemented as promised (i.e. we have left the EU) they will start a campaign to rejoin. After a generation (i.e. about 30 years) they will be entitled to another referendum, should they have built up a public head of steam for rejoining once people have seen what kind of fist our country makes of restored national independence. But Blair and his acolytes won't take that path, presumably because they understand it is doomed. Instead they are using their own weight within the political establishment to try and derail implementation of the people's decision. Which is not honourable, but contemptible.
As ConservativeHome's Mark Wallace recently noted, Blairites currently seem obsessed with ideas for new "centre" parties that revolve around the desire to keep us inside the EU and its project of political integration. Yet this is not a centrist desire at all – only a tiny proportion of the British public are signed up, like the Blairites, to the idea of ever closer union. Even most Remain voters I know were motivated more by fear of the economic impact of Brexit than by any desire to be part of a United States of Europe.
The truth is that in the 2016 referendum the majority of people opted for a radical proposition (leaving an organisation that governed so much of our collective decision-making and international relations to follow our own path) rather than an extremist proposition (staying part of a process that was progressively dismantling our nation state).
For people were not fooled by a 40-year Big Lie which sought to deny such trans-national political integration was happening at all. The Heath lie that no substantial sovereignty would be lost. The Blairite lie that Lisbon was a mere "tidying up exercise". The Foreign Office lie that said "widening" of the EU (ie A8 and A2 accession) meant that "deepening" (ie the process of ever closer union) had been called off.
Since the referendum of 2016 the head honchos in Brussels have become even more blatant about their direction and speed of travel. There was no just-about-tolerable status quo on the ballot paper, only more dismantling of our nation.
Despite his riches, I have often thought about how difficult it must be to be Tony Blair these days. Once he was pretty much the most admired man on the planet. I saw that at first hand when I was on that post 9/11 trip to New York and Washington when he pledged we would stand "shoulder to shoulder" with America and America fell in love with him in return.
Now he is pretty much the most reviled political figure there is, at least in his own country. Not surprisingly he prefers to reside in that other country where they do things differently – the past. He's welcome to it but the rest of us are under no obligation to indulge the pretence.

Tencent dives after state media criticizes online gaming again
In: Online games

Actions of the Chinese web giant Tencent took another beating on Monday, after state media reiterated its criticism of the games industry and called for tighter surveillance as China's relentless crackdown on its tech industry shows no sign of end.
The Shenzhen-based company plunged more than 4% in Hong Kong, bringing this year's loss to 42% since the February peak. Investors ditched Tencent and other Hong Kong-listed game companies such as Hangzhou-based NetEase after China's state-run national radio singled out the industry on Friday night for twisting the story. . Tencent shares closed 3.5% lower after recouping some losses.
"The gaming industry should increase self-discipline, and respect for national history should be the bottom line for employees in the industry," the report reads. editorial, which also calls for a stricter approval process and promises "zero tolerance" for online games that have "strayed from the track."
The article does not mention Tencent or any other game company by name. Rather, he gives examples of Yue Fei, a Chinese national hero and famous general of the Song Dynasty who was portrayed as going in an unnamed mobile game. Qin Hui, a chancellor who betrayed Yue, was designed as a high-level game character.
A spokesperson for Tencent said the company had no comment on the matter. It has been the subject of repeated regulatory scrutiny this year, including fines for violating the country's antitrust rules and being ordered to relinquish exclusive music rights. Earlier this month, the company's online gaming business came under pressure from an affiliate of the state-run Xinhua News Agency, which compared the entire industry to "the spiritual opium "and" electronic drugs ", and lambasted her for ruining an entire generation.
Such harsh wording has since been removed, but a revised article criticizing online gaming is still online. Tencent, meanwhile, was sued in June for "inappropriate content" in its flagship product. Honor of kings mobile game. In a lawsuit filed in the city, the Beijing Teenagers Law Aid And Research Center, a public interest group, alleged that the game's storyline falsified historical figures and distorted traditional Chinese culture. Tencent spokesman said the company also had no comment on the lawsuit.

Q: Angular 1.5.x Component Router Resolve (2) How can I make a component route wait for a data befere to execute the controller and render the view. Similar to resolve of ngRoute and ui-router.
The documentation has this:

This only wait for the url change, ex:
//Old url
http://localhost/#/

// wait the promise (eg 1s) and then change the url to
http://localhost/#/heroes

But the view was changed immediately after the click in link, and then the url was changed, so weird!
This don't block the view render or controller execution (obviously).

Demo of this situation:
Code and preview: plunkr.co (click in heroes)

There are a similiar question that has no answers: Angular 1.5.x Component Router Resolve

A: I found a solution:
This should be configured in the component definition:
.component('myComponent', {
    templateUrl: './my-compnent.html',
    controller: MyComponentCtrl,
    $canActivate: function($nextInstruction, $prevInstruction) {
      return Promise.resolve(<true or false>);
    }
})


Want to write better handwritten notes and letters? Handwritten notes provide an easy way to break down barriers between your company and your customers. When people receive a handwritten letter from you, they will be impressed that you went the extra mile to drop them a line. You can impress them even more by following some tips that will allow you to send out top-notch handwritten notes. These tips are easy to follow and will put you on the right track for customer service success.
Don't get out your spiral notebook and fire off a letter to your customers. They deserve high-quality stationary, and they will judge you if they don't get it. If you send handwritten notes out on subpar paper, they will think that you are either too cheap to spring for the good stuff or your business is in trouble. Put your best foot forward by using high-quality stationary every time you send out a note or letter.
People love the idea of receiving handwritten notes, but they don't want to put aside an hour to read them. Keep your notes short and to the point. Remember, each customer's time is precious and you don't want to infringe on it any more than necessary. Get right to the point, say thank you, and let the customer be on his or her way.
Blue and black ink are considered professional. If you go with red, pink, green, or another color, your company will look unprofessional, which means your reputation might take a hit with your customers. Simply choosing the right type of ink will help you stand out for the right reasons. Then, when customers think back to the handwritten note, they'll have positive memories, down to the type of ink you used.
It can be hard to remember everything that you need to do to write amazing notes. If you aren't sure that you can keep everything straight, use a service for your handwritten notes. The service will write the notes and send them out to everyone. Some services even let you choose the gender of the letter writer, along with the type of handwriting the person uses. This type of customization ensures that your customers receive the perfect handwritten notes.

The Islington Centre for Refugees and Migrants works with around 180 people every year. The people who come to the Centre have been displaced from their country of origin: they have to come to the UK fleeing persecution, warfare, or human rights abuses, or to make a better life for themselves. However, arrival in the UK brings its own problems.
The majority of our clients have extremely limited access to income, and live in insecure accommodation. They must wait for several years before they are able to secure the right to live in the UK. Most asylum seekers, refugees, and migrants are facing multiple barriers to healthy, happy lives, all at once.
WHO ARE OUR CLIENTS?
Over the previous year our clients originated from 44 different countries
Everyone who comes to us has left their home country because they are fleeing persecution or warfare or because they are seeking to make a better life for themselves. From most countries, we have only one client. Here is a breakdown of ten countries from which more than one of our clients originated:
Democratic Republic of Congo 36
People came from boroughs across London
Clients come to us from across Greater London and outside London. The top 5 boroughs which our clients are staying in are:
Islington 19 %
Haringey 10%
Hackney 10%
Enfield 6%
Camden 6%
We welcome all asylum seekers, refugees and migrants regardless of gender, age, ethnicity, sexuality, religion or any other factors. Often, we are the only point of contact destitute asylum seekers have with services. In other cases, we act as a first port of call offering kindness, a friendly face and help to find the right services.
Understanding who our clients are
An asylum seeker is someone who has left their country of origin due to persecution, war, and human rights abuses. They cannot return because they fear for their life, and have asked the government in the UK for the right to stay in this country and rebuild their lives.
A destitute asylum seeker is someone who is trying to appeal a negative asylum decision. They are trying to get more evidence to prove their story, but while they do this, they are not allowed to work, and must rely on donations of food and clothing from charities and individuals.
A migrant is someone who has left their country of origin to find a better life in the UK. Often, they work while sending money back to their families, to help them to have better lives. The government often restricts access to services such as healthcare, and when some migrants lose their jobs, they cannot get any support to help them get back on their feet.
A refugee is someone who was an asylum seeker, but now has the right to stay in the UK for five years. Even though they have succeeded in getting the right to live here, they still need help to rebuild their lives
What problems do our clients face?
Insecure immigration status: Insecure immigration status, for asylum seekers, refugees, and migrants, impacts on every area of life. It limits access to housing, income, healthcare, employment, and education. It leaves individuals at risk of detention in the UK, and removal to their country of origin, even when they are still at risk of persecution, torture, or warfare. Navigating the asylum and immigration system in the UK is incredibly difficult; the system is extremely complex and characterised by a 'culture of disbelief'. People need legal advice and representation to make the strongest case possible, but severe cuts to free legal advice mean that, for many people, successfully securing status is near impossible.
Communication: Lack of English has a huge negative impact on wellbeing and independence. People are reliant on support from English-speakers to access services; important letters, phone calls, or conversations can be misunderstood or accidentally ignored. People may find it hard to travel, shop, and live independently. It is extremely difficult to build supportive social networks, which are crucial to wellbeing. Isolation, lack of confidence, lack of independence, potential exploitation, unjust lack of access to services, and unresolved problems can result from being unable to communicate in English.
Isolation: For people who have left their country of origin, this can mean leaving behind friends and family. Poverty, insecure immigration status, and lack of communication skills in English further increase the isolation that our clients face, leaving them without emotional and practical support, or a community that they can feel safe and happy in.
Poverty: Everyone who comes to the Centre experiences a level of poverty. Asylum seekers are effectively barred from working, and must get by on £5 a day. Some groups, such as asylum seekers who have received a negative decision and are gathering evidence to challenge it, are not eligible for any financial support from the government at all, and are not able to work, leaving them destitute and homeless. Currently 85% of our clients are in this situation. Refugees and migrants often experience poverty and destitution for a whole range of reasons, including insecure work, lack of qualifications, limited access to benefits and delays in receiving government support.
Physical wellbeing: Many people at the Centre have injuries or illnesses caused by their experiences in their country of origin or in the UK. A significant number experience chronic illnesses. Living in cramped accommodation, or homeless, with uncertain access to food due to poverty and destitution, their physical wellbeing often suffers further. Restrictions on accessing NHS services means that it can be difficult for people to resolve these problems, and they continue to suffer.
Emotional wellbeing: People seeking asylum have often experienced traumatic events in their country of origin, leading them to come to the UK to live in safety, but haunted by what has happened to them. Experiences in the UK, including isolation, racial abuse, and prejudice, uncertainty due to the immigration and asylum system, and the effects of poverty, also have a negative impact on emotional wellbeing.

A working person in Japan could spent up to 13 hours a day on the job, sandwiched in between a long commute. This sometimes leads to what they call karoshi, or "death by overwork." So, in an attempt to combat this, the Japanese government is considering implementing a new law that forces workers to take vacations. The new law would make it mandatory to take five days of paid vacation a year.
In addition to the already long hours, a Japanese philosophy referred to as kaizen, which means continuous improvement, asks that workers eliminate every moment of downtime while on the job. This means no breaks, skipped meals and and overall unhealthy lifestyle.
While five days might not seem like much, it's a step in the right direction toward getting people to realize that there is life outside of work, and how harmful overworking can actually be to your health. Hopefully this will also encourage companies to make employee wellbeing a bigger priority.
