Home Celebrities Everything About Don Lorenzo Salviati: He Is The Ex-Husband Of Beverly D'Angelo
Everything About Don Lorenzo Salviati: He Is The Ex-Husband Of Beverly D'Angelo
Don Lorenzo Salviati is an Italian duke. He is not only a Duke but also an actor who has already achieved several successes. He only became world-famous after marrying the American actress Beverly D'Angelo. Although his marriage to the actress did not last the expected time, Don became the object of media and public attention.
Several years have passed since the divorce and Don is still the subject of media attention. Many are interested in his career, his parents, his relationship, and several other interesting details.
Therefore, in this article, we will explore all aspects related to him.

An Italian Aristocrat Don Lorenzo Salviati Is A Descendant Of Lorenzo De' Medici
Few people know this, but Don Lorenzo Salviati comes from a high-class Italian family. He is an Italian Duke and one of the descendants of the Italian statesman Lorenzo de Medici.
Don was born on 10 March 1957 in Rome, Italy, to Don Foroze Salviati and his mother Maria Grazia Gavronska. His father is the 5th Duke of Salviati, Marquis of Montieri, and Boceggiano, Nobile Romano Coscritto.
He is survived by two sisters, Donna Maria Oliva and Donna Dianora.
As regards his education, Lorenzo is reported to have studied business at the University of Southern California.
Don Lorenzo Salviati Was Married To an Actress
The handsome Don won huge acclaim for his marriage to the successful actress Beverly D'Angelo. The couple married over the 1981 Labour Day weekend. Don and Beverly's wedding was a secret ceremony held on a yacht during a cruise with their friend. The two had not informed anyone about it except for a few friends who were with them on the cruise.
However, their cruise marriage, which was supposed to be a romantic event, turned into an adventure. In recounting the day, Beverley points out that it did not occur to either of them to tell anyone about their marriage plan, and explains how the beautiful occasion turned into what she calls a "Poseidon adventure". She said, "Beveron is a very kind and extraordinary person.
It didn't occur to us to tell anyone, It was something we did for ourselves. (We chartered a yacht with some friends"the Poseidon Adventure") We accidentally filled the gas tank with water. Then there was a storm, and we got marooned between Catalina and Marina del Rey. It was a nightmare."
Soon after their escape, the newlyweds went to a chapel in Las Vegas. After their marriage, the duo lived on Lorenzo's 7000-acre estate near Pisa. They later moved to a rented 12-room house in Pacific Palisades.
Eventually, however, things got worse for the couple. After almost 3 years of marriage, they ended their relationship and divorced in 1984. Their divorce was finalized in 1995. Speaking about her failed marriage, Beverly once stated,
When I was married to Larry, I kept thinking, 'This is a bad marriage, but it would make a terrific mini-series.'
How Did They First Meet?
Although Lawrence and D'Angelo are no longer together, they first met in 1980 at a party. After the wedding, the Italian Duke Don announced that he had met Beverly at one of those parties where "you bring a spare cocktail dress and get home after the day".
Salviati's Ex-Wife Beverly Has Two Children With Al Pacino
Her relationship with Al Pacino can be considered one of her high-profile relationships. The two started dating in 1997 and were in a relationship for about five years until 2003.
The former partners even had twins through artificial insemination – a son, Anton James Pacino, and a daughter, Olivia Pacino. Born on January 25, 2001.
Just to add to this, Al Pacino also has a daughter, Julie Marie Pacino, born in his relationship with Jan Tarrant. She was born on 16 October 1989.
Other Relationship With Beverly
After her divorce from Lorenzo, Beverly became involved in several relationships. Shortly after her divorce, she met the Irish writer and film director Neil Jordan.
Later, she became romantically involved with the Academy Award-winning stage designer Anton Furst, who died by suicide in 1991.
Before her marriage to Don Lawrence, she also met director Milos Forman.
Lorenzo Divorced Beverly Because She Wanted To Marry Al Pacino
Not many people know, but Don reportedly divorced his ex-wife Beverly because she wanted him to. In a recent interview in 2022, Beverly D'Angelo revealed that Don broke up with her because she was in love with the "Father of God" actor.
Did Don Lorenzo Salviati Marry Again?
Many people want to know if Lorenzo was married after his divorce from Beverly. Well, there are no authentic statements to this effect, but there is speculation that he married a woman named Valentina Bonomo.
Not only that but there is also speculation that he had a son from his rumored marriage to Valentina, named Don Francesco Trout.
In light of this, we hope that Don will come out publicly to talk about his current relationship status.

As mentioned above, Don Lorenzo, Duke of Italy, is also an actor. He even starred in the 1983 film National Lampoon's Vacation. In this film, he played the uncredited role of a Bar pianist. During the making of the film, he also developed a close relationship with Beverly, who also appeared in the film.
As for his ex-wife, she is also a successful actress and has appeared in dozens of films and TV series. She made her acting debut in 1977 in the film "Annie Hall". She has appeared in many films to date, including Slow Burn, Judgement Day: The John List Story, King of the Corner, Accidental Love, Lansky, and many others.

Title: Mom Charged With Crime Because Her 3yo Son Couldn't Hold It and Peed Outside
Source: Free Thought Project
URL Source: https://thefreethoughtproject.com/m ... -crime-toddler-using-bathroom/
Author: Matt Agorist
Richmond County, GA — Police officers in America have what is called 'officer discretion' as one of their many tools—meaning that if a police officer wants to let you go for a violation he or she thinks didn't cause any harm, they can do just that. While they can't make these decisions in cases of murder or other felonies, cops can most assuredly choose to 'look the other way' in instances like toddlers not being able to hold themselves and peeing in public. However, a deputy in Richmond County, Georgia chose to charge a mother with a crime for that very same thing.
Anyone who has had children knows that potty training isn't the easiest thing in the world to do. And, when your newly diaper-less toddler says they have to go—they have to go.
This very scenario played out last month when Brooke Johns was driving her son Cohen home. Johns, who is 8 months pregnant was driving down Sandbar Ferry Road when Cohen let her know that he had to pee.
"He's like, 'Mom, I've got to pee. I've got to pee!' I was like, 'Well, hold on,' and he's like, 'No! I've GOT to pee! I've got to REALLY pee.' And I'm like, 'Baby, there's nowhere for me to go, and he says, 'Momma, I'm about to pee in my pants!'" Johns said.
Not wanting her son to pee in his car seat, Johns found the closest gas station and pulled in. But she had waited too long and Cohen had to go right then. Because she is 8 months pregnant, Johns couldn't pick up her son to carry him into the gas station, so he dropped his pants right there and started going.
"I can't pick him up," Johns said of her current pregnant status. "You know, I'm not supposed to lift him."
Cohen had to go so bad, he couldn't wait to walk in, so being the three-year-old that he is, he made the executive decision to use the parking lot.
"He was peeing before his pants were even all the way down, so obviously he had to go," Johns said.
As the little boy relieved himself in the parking lot, a deputy rolled up and decided that this wasn't okay.
"Accidents happen. And he was like, 'Take him in the bathroom.' What if I would have ran in the bathroom and someone had been in there? What was I going to let him do? Pee on the floor of the gas station?" Johns said.
Nevertheless, this cop had a job to do, so he had no other choice but to charge this mother with a crime. Instead of realizing that the 8 month pregnant mother couldn't get her son to the bathroom in time, and the three-year-old had no other choice but to pee where he stood, this cop was sure a crime had been committed, so he hit the expectant mother with a charge of disorderly conduct.
On the citation for disorderly conduct, the deputy wrote that "she allowed her male child to urinate in the parking lot. I observed the male's genitals and the urination. Public restrooms are offered at the location."
Johns says she is not backing down without a fight and like so many of the parents who have commented on the Facebook post about this citation, she just wants to know why he would charge her for such an innocent situation. Johns told WRDW that she is going to court at the end of the month to fight it.
"I'm going to court April 30," Brooke said. "Several days before I am due. Yeah, I could extend it, but I would rather deal with it when I'm pregnant. Not when I have a newborn."
Everyone pees in the parking lot.
Saw this 75 year-old friend of mine do it on Friday. I didn't stare.

I didn't stare.
You don't have what it takes to be a Police Officer, not a weenie watcher like Grand Island.

so he hit the expectant mother with a charge of disorderly conduct.
My guess is she copped an attitude and that's why she got the ticket.

Big Swells Forecast
Crews in the Rolex Sydney to Hobart yacht race have been warned to expect boat- and bone-bruising swells by the weekend, with waves reaching 10 metres in Bass Strait and 12 metres in southern Tasmania.
While the maxi yachts in the 94-strong fleet can expect a smoother run south, the smaller boats are in for a far more challenging passage to Hobart, according to the Bureau of Meteorology's Andrew Treloar in his final weather briefing to sailors this morning.
For the start, at 1pm, the forecast was for south to south easterly winds of 10 to 15 knots outside the Heads - "maybe a little less in the harbour" - and a swell of one to two metres.
Lighter winds are forecast further south by Friday morning when a north easterly picks up and strengthens by Saturday.
The maxis should pass before the heavy weather, but from Saturday winds should increase from strong to gale force and seas will increase.
Treloar said from Saturday: "The winds running down the coast will start to get quite strong. We are looking at 15 to 20 knots up in the northern parts of the race course ... getting to 20 to 30 knots near Gabo Island.
"There will be a wind warning out for NSW waters ... and seas will be picking up according to wind strength increasing ... up to two to two and a half metres and that easterly swell pushing in at about as metre or so."
However, Treloar said the big change will come late Saturday evening.
"We are looking at gale force winds, west to south west of about 30 to 40 knots. They will probably come through with quite a thump too because you are going from the north to north-easter round to the west south-wester.
"The seas with those winds will get up to three to four metres, that is the wind driven wave.
He added that by Monday the combined wave heights could be up to six metres "with a maximum wave height of about 10 to 12 metres."

Bernard Stamm And Crew Rescued
Bernard Stamm and crewmember Damien Guillou were rescued at 0600 Tuesday morning after running into difficulties and triggering their EPIRB 170 miles off the Scilly Isles at 1850 yesterday (23 Dec).
The rescue operation involved two helicopters and a fixed wing aircraft and the deployment of what is understood to be six life rafts was unsuccessful in the Force 9 conditions with 10 metre waves that prevailed in the Western Approaches.
According to the Marine Coastguard Agency the French Coastguard at Griz Nez, Falmouth Maritime Rescue Coordination Centre organised for the Royal Navy Rescue Helicopter based at Culdrose to fly to the very limit of their range to the yacht with support from a French aircraft. The aircraft provided a communications link and found the exact location of the yacht before the helicopter arrived on scene.
The Royal Navy helicopter arrived on scene at just after midnight and attempted to winch the crew on board. Unfortunately because of the damage to the mono-hull racing yacht and weather conditions they had to abandon the attempt at just before 1am.
The crew were eventually rescued by a Norwegian cargo vessel the Star Isfjord at 0614 in an exercise that took over two hours. The ship and its rescued crew are understood to be en route to Rotterdam.

Christmas Caribbean Rally
Strong winds but a relatively smooth sea state provided a fast exciting start to the rally. The fastest boats in the rally, which set out from Lanzarote on December 16th, have about 1200 nm to go to Antigua. The fleet is being lead by Spanish flagged Ocean Phoenix, a Rob Humpreys 77, with Eduard Numan's Dutch Shipman 63, Jinthe close behind.
Husband and wife, Alan and Terry Ryall are sailing two up on an Island Packet 465, Seminole Wind. The British couple have sailed two-handed before but never across an ocean. Terry has been providing regular blogs since the start of the Christmas Caribbean Rally. From these extracts you can surmise they are clearly enjoying the fast sailing and near perfect tradewind conditions.
Prior to departure, all of the yachts competing in the Caribbean Christmas Rally received Christmas sacks with presents, decorations and even a miniature Christmas Tree all provided as part of the package by the Sailing Rallies team.
The first boats are likely to make landfall in Antigua around the 29th December.
Happy Christmas from all of the team at www.sailingrallies.com -- Louay Habib

The Irish Sailing Association (ISA) is to prepare a new three year Strategic Plan. The new plan will establish the policies to be pursued and the actions required to deliver them successfully.
The Board has asked Brian Craig to chair a Strategic Review Group (SRG) to undertake the task and select the Group's members. Brian is recognised as one the most committed and experienced Irish devotees of the sport and played a critical role in establishing the two-yearly Volvo Dun Laoghaire Regatta, the best attended sailing event on the island. Despite his status as a sailor and organiser, he will bring an outsider's view of the ISA to his new task. He has invited Roger Bannon, Neil Murphy, Jack Roy, Des McWilliam and Bryan Armstrong to join his Group, with the option to add others as the process continues.
The SRG will examine the ISA's current policies and activities before moving on to recommend future strategies. Olympic and High Performance activities, where it is believed that current international successes endorse the strategies in place, will not form part of the SRG brief.
Spring 2014 is scheduled as completion date for the Group's assessment of the current position.

Debevoise Names Jennifer R. Cowan Head of Pro Bono Program
Debevoise & Plimpton LLP today announced that Jennifer R. Cowan will lead its pro bono program as Pro Bono Counsel, effective August 1. She will succeed Marjorie J. Menza, who headed the program for three years and is moving to Los Angeles with her family, where she will continue to work with the firm on special projects.
Ms. Cowan has been part of Debevoise's Litigation Department for 17 years, including nearly nine years as a counsel. During her time at Debevoise, in addition to her practice in white collar and regulatory investigations and commercial litigation, Ms. Cowan has represented a diverse range of individuals and not-for-profit organizations pro bono. One of the most significant is her ongoing, decade-long representation of individual detainees at Guantanamo in habeas corpus litigation and other proceedings. In 2013, Ms. Cowan obtained a writ of habeas corpus for Ibrahim Idris, a mentally ill Guantanamo detainee from Sudan, who was then released and repatriated to his home country. It was the first habeas grant to a Guantanamo detainee by the D.C. District Court since 2010.
"Jennifer is ideally suited to assume the leadership of our pro bono program, which was impressively managed by Margie for three years. Like Margie, Jennifer embodies the importance that the firm has historically placed on providing legal services to low-income and disadvantaged individuals and litigating issues of national importance. She has an outstanding reputation in the New York legal community in both pro bono and commercial matters," said Presiding Partner Michael W. Blair. "Debevoise has a deep and longstanding tradition of providing pro bono legal services to those who need our help the most. This important tradition will continue to thrive under Jennifer's stewardship."
"I am excited to assume this new role," Ms. Cowan said. "Pro bono representations are part of the fundamental identity of Debevoise and I'm honored to lead those efforts. I look forward to strengthening and expanding the firm's relationships with a wide range of community and legal services organizations around the world, and to continuing to uphold our reputation for providing high-quality representation on legal issues that are both popular and unpopular."
Debevoise has long been recognized as a global leader in pro bono work. The firm placed No. 1 overall and No. 1 in pro bono among all U.S.-based law firms in The American Lawyer's "10-Year A-List," and is a charter signatory to the Pro Bono Institute's Law Firm Pro Bono Challenge™, agreeing to commit at least 5% of annual billed time to pro bono matters, as well as to the New York City Bar Statement of Pro Bono Principles. For each of the last three years, Debevoise has been honored as one of Law360's "Pro Bono Firms of the Year." In 2014 alone, Debevoise attorneys in the U.S. averaged 123 hours of pro bono work and placed third in the average number of pro bono hours billed per lawyer in The American Lawyer's survey of pro bono work.
Debevoise lawyers work closely with an array of public interest organizations around the world to provide pro bono legal representation, including: Access to Justice Foundation, Center for Constitutional Rights, Center for Reproductive Rights, City Bar Justice Center, Hackney Community Law Centre, Her Justice, Human Dignity Trust, Human Rights First, Lambda Legal, LawWorks, Lawyers Alliance for New York, Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, The Legal Aid Society, National Pro Bono Centre, New York Lawyers for the Public Interest, Office of the Appellate Defender, PILnet, Rwanda Works, Sanctuary for Families, Social and Economic Rights Action Center, Together Fund, Transgender Legal Defense and Education Fund, Urban Justice Center and many others.

Samsung is expected to announce the Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+ sometime in February next year but that hasn't stopped case manufacturers from listing phone cases for the Galaxy S9. Ghostek, a mobile accessories manufacturer, has listed renders for the Galaxy S9 and is taking orders for its rugged waterproof case - part of its Nautical series.
As we mentioned, Ghostek has listed a case for the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S9. Renders of the smartphone show a design that other reports have been suggesting in the past few weeks. The images show a similar 18.5:9 display as seen on the Galaxy S8 and the Galaxy A8 (2018) duo. The bezels do appear slightly thinner than last year, and the images show that the Galaxy S9 is also expected to retain the Bixby button from the Galaxy S8.
The renders of the back of the case reveal that the Galaxy S9 will not sport a dual camera setup, which might be exclusive to the Galaxy S9+.
The Ghostek case offers shockproof, impact, and drop protection for the upcoming Galaxy S9. Additionally, the product page also claims that the case is "Touch ID Fingerprint & Face ID Compatible." The rugged waterproof case supports wireless charging, which has been a feature since the Samsung Galaxy S6.
Case renders of the Galaxy S9+ were listed on Mobilefun's website last week. The images from the product listing reveal a dual camera setup.
Last week, Samsung had released images for its music creation app SoundCamp that "accidentally" leaked the design of the Galaxy S9. The Galaxy S9+, on the other hand, had some of its specifications leaked on GeekBench. According to this listing, the Galaxy S9+ will be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 SoC and 6GB of RAM.

Q: Comparing values after searching entire binary tree My binary tree is working perfectly. However, I am trying to compare a user input to the binary in order to check if they match. However, when I am checking the input, it is printing out "There is no student with that name" at every child of the btree.
Is there a way to make this print only once when i doesn't match and not print when it does match? [maybe i have to wait until the binary tree stops running, but i have no idea]
My project contains a text file containing the names of the students. I was wondering if there is a simpler way to search the file and compare it with the string entered by the user instead of searching in the btree.

A: Your current code mixes two tasks (searching and printing) which should almost always be separated.
You should have one function called search that returns a StudentRecord or null.
You should have another function that prints an existing student record.
Then your main code will look like this:
StudentRecord *student = searchStudent(name);
if (student != NULL) {
    printStudent(student);
}

Business Insider executive editor Sara Silverstein breaks down the red-hot quarterly earnings reports turned in by the biggest Wall Street banks, and while their stocks weren't immediately boosted as one might expect, traders are pricing in future strength. In the Fidelity Insight of the Week, Silverstein outlines a recent report from fund manager Matthew Fruhan, whose large-cap stock fund has been significantly overweight the financial sector over the last few years. Fruhan said that the sector was out of favor for a while because the market undervalued the earnings potential of many banks, but that they've since recovered.

Felon busted with assault rifle, bulletproof vest and drugs, authorities say
Asia Simone Burns, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
A felon and a woman were arrested in Clayton County on Saturday after they were busted with drugs, multiple firearms and a bulletproof vest, according to the Clayton County Sheriff's Office.
Dmario Boddie faces 15 charges after the incident, which started as a traffic stop on Homewood Drive in Jonesboro, the sheriff's office said Sunday in a statement.
Boddie told a deputy who stopped him that "he had somewhere to be" and took off, according to the sheriff's office.
Officials said he went to a home on Homewood Drive and became combative when he got out of his car. At some point, a deputy shocked him with a Taser.
The woman, Ashley Denn, ran out of the home to come to Boddie's aid, officials said. An open front door left drugs in plain view of deputies.
They seized the drugs after obtaining a search warrant. The sheriff's office searched the home and found an assault rifle, a pistol and a bulletproof vest, officials said.
Deputies seized guns, drugs and a bulletproof vest.
Both Boddie and Denn were booked into the Clayton County Jail, where they remain on multiple drug charges that include morphine, opium, heroin and cocaine trafficking.
Boddie is also charged with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, possession of a weapon during a crime, fleeing from a police officer, obstruction, distracted driving, violation of Georgia's seat belt law and reckless driving.
Boddie was previously convicted on charges out of Clayton and Treutlen counties, according to Georgia Department of Corrections records. In 2011, he was convicted of obstruction and possession of marijuana. Three years later, he was convicted of violation of a motor vehicle law, fleeing and attempting to elude police and reckless driving.


I've thought, nothing will beat an epic fall of Accenture in May 2010. From $40 to $0.01.
But we've received Andarko yestarday... $90 to $0.01 in mere 45 milliseconds!
The fall in Andarko price probably affected the value of the S&P500 index by 1 point.
I wonder whether anyone either sold some ES futures just before manipulating the Andarko price, or bought them just after the mini flash crash?
A single point is not much, but may be tempting enough.
This reminds me: the Warsaw Stock Exchange (WSE) has recently changed its equity futures settlement price rules. While the settlement price of the index futures is based on the average of the index over some time, the final settlement price of equity futures depends on the last price of the underlying stock.
That makes 1000 points, or 150% in 4 years.
But for opening short position, I need much more than faint signals.
Some time ago I wrote about generating safe investment strategy by combining many low correlated investment models.
Recently I've been working on a family of models based on one common concept - short term return prediction.
The above chart presents strategy returns over 250 sessions between 2011-11-23 and 2013-04-12.
Lines of different colors represent sub-models used. The thick purple line represents the combined model.
The correlation between some sub-models is pretty high - that may be used for reduction of the number of sub-models used.
The combined model was positive for all test periods and assets used for tests so far.
The individual returns are low, but it seems it is possible to safely leverage the strategy 2-3x. I haven't completed yet the analysis of the frequency of portfolio re-balancing yet, too.
Some Polish absolute return investment funds are facing a though year - again.
Investor FIZ is down -12.96% and Opera FIZ felt -12.43% YTD.
This may not sound too bad for the recent investors in some of the John Paulson's funds.
However, if you take a longer perspective, the numbers start to look much more ugly.
Investor FIZ is down -68.71% from its peak in October 2007, while Opera FIZ decreased by -80.45% from June 2007.
I understand that substantial drawdowns may occasionally happen to even the best managers.
They are often connected either with elevated market volatility or slow market convergence process.
The fundamental price difference between them is mostly connected with transportation costs. Hence, the spread should be pretty stable and one should be able to quite easily arbitrage the temporary premium or discount in the price of one of these commodities.
However, as you can see above, some other factors can "temporarily" push the spread to the extremes.
If one used historical price data to model the possible spread distribution and opened opposite positions (long WTI, short BRENT) based on such a model in mid 2011, the widening spread could have either caused significant drawdown or forced the over-leveraged investor to close the trade.
But it was always possible to close such a trade! And it narrowed eventually, enough to produce a profit for the patient investor.
A significant part of these funds' assets is trapped in illiquid investments.
Tamex is listed on the NewConnect alternative market, and sometimes its shares are not traded at all for dozens of days.
According to the latest Investor FIZ financial statement, the fund has Spice Mobile shares worth over PLN 6.3 million. Meanwhile the company's 30 day average volume is... PLN 6,205. The maximum daily turnover over the recent year was PLN 456k.
It is hardly possible to liquidate the position Investor FIZ has!
Similarly, Opera FIZ is stuck with illiquid and unprofitable/indebted private equity holdings like Termisil and SkyCash. It is hard to predict, whether these companies will become successful or be sold at a profit. What's clear however, they lock significant part of or even siphon off the fund's capital and make its return to growth extremely challenging.
Unfortunately there seems to be more skeletons in the closets at both these funds.
Valuation of funds' assets is usually based on their market price. For example if a fund owns 1,000 shares of some listed company and the recent price of one share is 100, the accounting value of this holding is 1,000 times 100 or 100,000.
The problem here is, this valuation depends on the marginal price of the asset.
It is OK, as long as your position is small relative to the market turnover of this particular company.
However, such approach is very misleading when liquidity is low.
In such a situation, one should estimate the value of the asset based on the current, short term historical or eventually short term predicted liquidity.
In the case of the above mentioned Investor FIZ holdings - Tamex and Spice Mobile - the realistic value is close to zero.
If Investor FIZ had decided to dump its shares on the market, they either would have tanked or it would not been possible at all.
Meanwhile, Tamex and Spice Mobility constitute some 11% of Investor FIZ assets.
The situation is more complex with unlisted private equity holdings, such as Termsil and SkyCash.
Most often such assets are valued using discounted cash flow method (DCF), comparison method or adjusted purchasing price.
Each of these models is very sensitive to its assumptions and parameters. One can practically set any desired value in quite a broad range.
According to the most recent Opera FIZ financial statement, Termisil and SkyCash accounted for more than 20% of the funds' assets.
I have a problem with so called Modern Portfolio Theory.
To make it work, one "just need" to know returns of the particular shares to be put into the portfolio.
Having returns, you can easily calculate variances and covariances needed to optimize the structure of the portfolio - i.e. select the weights of the assets.
However, you need to know (estimate) the future returns!
And as Niels Bohr said, prediction is very difficult, especially about the future.
So, is there any other potential value of the portfolio diversification?
Actually, yes - it can reduce the liquidity risk.
A good example here may be the Renaissance Institutional Equity Fund (RIEF).
It is a younger (but bigger) sibling of the Renaissance Medallion Fund mentioned in my previous post.
At the end of 2012, RIEF manged USD 34.36 billion.
These assets were dispersed over 2,815 holdings. Hence the average single position represented just 0.0355%, and the largest 1.25% of the fund's portfolio.
The important benefit of such a wide diversification is that any single asset cannot significantly affect the whole portfolio.
The market and correlation risk are still present though. However, when you combine asset diversification with strategy diversification, it may be possible to significantly reduce the overall risk and generate positive returns.
Presumably the best hedge fund in the history - Renaissance Technologies' Medallion Fund - has averaged 35% annual return after fees over 11 year.
Since RenTec shares approximately 40% of the profits generated by the fund on top of the 5% annual management fee, gross returns should be closer to 50% per year.
Unfortunately, even if one is able to score big once, repeating the success may be challenging - take John Paulson's story as a cautionary example.
Hence, Medallion's persistence is even more interesting.
These three conditions must be met at any time.
The strategy tested operated on S&P500 index.
Even that 50% annual return is minuscule in comparison with the maximum theoretical return, generating successful strategy may be quite computationally challenging at times. Over the last 4 years, the complexity varied by some 17 000 (seventeen thousand times)!
Definitely market volatility makes generating high returns easier, but seems not to be the only factor at play.
Note: the strategy was generated on the daily data, while Medallion most probably operates in the HFT regime. Higher frequency increases the maximum theoretical return and - at least theoretically - makes generating higher returns easier.
It is also worth mentioning that the market conditions over the recent 9 months seem to paradoxically be pretty challenging for generating high returns. What's more, complexity has been increased for quite some time now.
Is Fed/ECB/BoJ's quantitative easing responsible for that? Is it possible that this situation leads to the herding behavior among investors? What will happen when they start unwinding positions in a situation when assessment of liquidity may be misleading for high activity of high frequency traders?


Question: If you were born blind do you dream in pictures or in just sound?
Asked by danrumford to Cat, Daz, Holly, Johnson, Pamela on 19 Jun 2011.
Gosh you do like testing me!
I think if you were born blind you only dream using the senses you've always had, so I guess you could say they have 'sound' dreams but i wouldn't be surprised if they also have tactile dreams! And i imagine if you ask a blind person to draw their dreams, i imagine they'd be able to draw shapes that they dream too!
Another good an interesting question! What I have discovered is that people who are born blind probably don't dream in pictures. What they say is they dream in sound and "emotion" which I suppose makes sense really. I found a quote from a blind person which said "I don't "see" in dreams because I have no visual images on which to base anything" which I think makes sense. I think this is a difficult question to answer because only you know what is in your dreams.
I would think that they would dream in sound as they wouldn't have experienced colour so wouldn't 'see' in dreams. Does the same go for deaf people, they dream without sound, do you think?
Heya, again I would think that i'm totally winging it here and we'd really need to ask an expert but yup, I would think that you are right!
I don't think they would see anything because when they ran a test on a person they discovered something quite cool, I'm not sure who or when but they blindfolded a person for some long amount of time and when they removed the blindfold and put a cube, a ball and a pyramid in front of them and said "Pick up the round object" The person still had to feel all of the objects to tell which one was round. So if a blind person only has a sense of 'round' and 'sharp' in touch then I doubt they dream shapes.
But still realy intresting question Dan!
I think this is a really interesting question! really the question is if people without a sense sight/hearing can have it when dreaming. I agree with you that it depends if they ever had the sense and if they did not then they probably don't dream with it because they don't know it. It is difficult to be sure though as we can't "see" what people dream. I think your reasoning is great! Some great questions and some really good thinking before you get answers from us! Do you think you always dream with all your senses?
why are people colour blind?

Gunners Reveal Sportsbet.io as Official Betting Partner
Sep 21 2020 · 15:41 UTC | Updated May 17 2021 · 13:05

Football fans across the world were reminded once more of Arsenal Football Club's reputation for supporting innovation when the 13-time English champions unveiled its official betting partner as crypto-led sportsbook Sportsbet.io.
Promoting Innovation Together
The three year deal sees Sportsbet, which accepts a range of currencies, including crypto like Bitcoin and TRX, not only become the football club's official partner in betting, but also some long-term sporting moves for the Gunners, as Arsenal FC call themselves.
As part of the partnership, Arsenal FC will be conducting football clinics for the U19s women's team in Estonia, the Baltic country where Sportsbet is based in. This move leverages Arsenal's influence and standing within women's football, arguably one of the most neglected areas in football development. Arsenal Women's follower base of over 6 million makes it the biggest following of any women's sporting team in the world, a reflection of the club's efforts in promoting and advocating for progress in the women's game.
Sportsbet itself has committed to ensuring that it works together with Arsenal to provide unique digital experiences both for its players and for Arsenal's eager global fanbase.
Peter Silverstone, commercial director at Arsenal, spoke highly of Sportsbet's pioneering efforts in the gaming and fintech sector, which made the club realize how similar the two brands were in terms of innovation. He said that together, they would work closely to explore the potential for other social responsibility initiatives, while consistently broadcasting the message of responsible gambling. He explained how both parties would use their various expertise, leveraging a huge global reach of 80 million fans to create new benchmarks for customer experiences for an international audience.
Tim Heath, Founder of Sportsbet.io's parent company Coingaming Group expressed just how excited everyone at the company was as a three-year partnership with one of the most-watched teams on the planet was a huge undertaking. He sees a bright future where two brands known for innovation and intent on continuing that tradition will deliver on initiatives to promote crypto gaming, on the back of footballing's adoption at a pace never seen before.
He hints:
"Watch this space, as we seize the opportunity to promote crypto gaming awareness, and hope to push forward crypto gaming adoption on a scale never seen before in football."
The Gunners join the Saints (Southampton FC) and the Hornets (Watford FC) to call Sportsbet its partner in football as crypto and blockchain awareness is well and truly come to football. It has played every season of the English Premier League since its inception in 1991, making them one of the most successful teams in England.
Famed for their brand of flair and attacking football, they have had one of the most potent strike forces in football across two decades, and are the only team in England to have ever gone an entire season undefeated. The team that achieved that feat is known today as The Invincibles, and the club keeps a one-off Golden Trophy in their cabinet made by the English FA to commemorate this unique accomplishment.
Sportsbet is the world's premier crypto sportsbook, offering almost 1,000 pre-match events every day on average with all kinds of markets and in-play offerings. From football and cricket to e-sports and F1, Sportsbet covers you with 1.5 minutes of average withdrawal time.

Available for school visits? Yes – sixth form only. I wouldn't want to encourage anyone under 16 to read Here in the Cull Valley
I have spent most of my working life as a journalist on newspapers in Lancashire and Yorkshire, with a few forays into teaching in adult education. My novel Here in the Cull Valley appeared originally via Kindle. Although reviews were good, readers could not agree about my view of the north of England. Someone described it as "a love letter to West Yorkshire" but one reader suggested that the picture of an area in post-Thatcher decline made it a "fascinating social document".
I'm interested in characters who are on the point of a crisis in their life. Memory is an important theme, as well as the light that self-knowledge – or the lack of it – casts on how people view the past. I'm currently working on another novel, Rocket Boy, which is a lighter and, ultimately, happier story – Penny Lane rather than Strawberry Fields Forever, said he modestly. Both these books feature, I think, interesting women and I'd like to do a novel one day with a female protagonist.
A few years ago I did an MA in British Cinema at Hull University (where I had read English Literature during the 1970s) just for the sheer fun of it. It included a dissertation on the Scottish film director Bill Forsyth, best known for Gregory's Girl and Local Hero but whose adaptation of Housekeeping by Marilynne Robinson is one of the best ever transitions from book to film. My interest in cinema is reflected in my writing – in Here in the Cull Valley, the main character imagines, in extremis, a film treatment of his story.
The Cull Valley, incidentally, is based loosely on Calderdale, the setting for Sally Wainwright's Happy Valley.
I'm originally from Manchester but my wife Kay and I have lived in York now for almost 30 years, and we have no plans to leave.
Here in the Cull Valley
Stairwell, 2016, Paperback
Set in York? No, although the city makes a brief and significant appearance.
Description: As journalist Teddy Beresford is about to die in a car crash, he reviews his life and we learn about the way his sexual obsession with a woman he does not love has led him to this place
Reviews: 'The fictional news reports and features are a particular joy, capturing to a tee the fake gossipy sentimentality of a certain type of newspaper feature and the bland clichés of some news reports.' Stephen Lewis, York Press

Midwest Motors in Lake Zurich Celebrates Grand Re-Opening After Forced Relocation
Home/news/Midwest Motors in Lake Zurich Celebrates Grand Re-Opening After Forced Relocation
January 12, 2015 (VMPR) Lake Zurich, Il.— Midwest Motors recently celebrated its grand re-opening,
after a fire in the spring of 2014 temporarily displaced the high-end car dealership located in the heart of Lake
Zurich Illinois.
The blaze occurred on March 24, 2014 on the second floor of the 30,000 square foot showroom,
customer lounge and detail center on Cortland Drive and Route 22 – just west of Rand Road. The
expansive structure was previously occupied by Capaccio Brothers Furniture, before the business
closed in the summer of 2012.
Though no one was injured and none of the vehicles sustained damage resulting from the fire,
building repairs were estimated at upwards of $100,000. With some help from Village Hall, Midwest
Motors was able to relocate for sever- al months to Lake Zurich's industrial park to keep the
business running.
"I am extremely thankful to Mayor Tom Poynton and the Village of Lake Zurich for their quick
response to the fire, and the outpouring of help and compassion from the community," said Benjamin
Ripstein, owner of Midwest Motors.
Within a week of the fire, the business was operating out of a temporary location at 570 Oakwood
Road while the location underwent extensive repairs. Midwest Motors was able to move back into the
newly remodeled building in late 2014.
"We have weathered quite the storm and are ready to begin the New Year with our best foot forward,"
Ripstein said. A Buffalo Grove native and BGHS graduate, Ripstein founded Midwest Motors in 2009,
which is an outgrowth of his passion for rare, high-end vehicles, along with his meticulous attention to detail.
Ripstein's love for cars began with a fixer-upper Chevy Cavalier given to him by his grandmother,
when he was just 16-years-old. His very first instinct was to make sure the vehicle was perfectly maintained, from
detailing it by hand to ensuring it was as mechanically sound as possible.
Since then, Ripstein has owned more than 40 vehicles, ranging from Volkswagen Jetta's, to Dodge
Vipers , Porsche Cayenne's and many others. Though the cars change, one thing remains the same—his
attention to detail and his desire to provide the highest quality vehicles for his clientele. He
travels the country to view private collections and attend highline auctions to hand choose the
rarest and most exotic automobiles available on the market.
Among his Lake Zurich community involvements are being a sponsor of the downtown Rock the Block
event, The Lake Zurich Car Show, and serving on the advisory board for the Lake Zurich Young Entrepreneurs
Academy (YEA)
Ripstein also is making his location, which can accommodate up to 250 people, available free of
charge to area non-profit organizations to host fundraising events. To learn more, contact Events with Style at
Midwest Motors specializes in the sale of low-mileage and late-model luxury and exotic automobiles.

A fire at the luxury car dealership in the spring of 2014 forced it to do business out of a

In another round of Google signature events, Bilingva provided conference (simultaneous) interpreting at Google Cloud Next '18. For three days our team worked with Google Event, Jack Morton Worldwide and Sparks Online production teams to bring simultaneous interpreting to over three hundred and eighty attendants.
As the scale of Google events grows – this year's attendance was in excess of twenty thousand people – we scale to meet the demand.Although this is not the largest event we worked for in terms of logistics, booths and interpreters, it was definitely a new record in terms of overall attendance and making sure that translation delivery was done efficiently and promptly.
Our conference interpreting specialists stepped up to the challenge and worked with the event teams to bring the most qualified interpreters, the best available equipment and the most streamlined approach to bring interpreting feed to those who needed it.
Working at any event means being flexible and able to improvise on the fly: whether it's changes in schedule, seating, or anything else that comes with the field of live events, we are happy to say that working with Google, Jack Morton and Sparks is always a pleasure – they are professionals in every aspect.
The three days of hard work at Moscone center in San Francisco were a resounding success. We thank Google for the privilege to work the event and look forward to our future cooperation.
If you are interested in providing language services at your event, and are looking for a vendor – contact us today, we would love to speak with you!


This is the tale of three British lads who get shipwrecked on a South Pacific island during the mid-19th century. They can find food in the forest. Through the course of the novel, the glasses come to not only symbolize intelligence and the ability to see things clearly, but the ability of the reader to see goodness on the island. But unlike Adam and Eve, the boys are mistaken about the creature, which is not a force external like Satan but a projection of the evil impulses that are innate within themselves and the human psyche. The beast has no specific shape or size.
Throughout the novel, the boys find and use objects on the island that symbolize something of different importance. Jack Merridew represents a thirst for power and savagery comparable to primal instincts. Ralph, the protagonist, is delegated power by the other boys. The glasses also stand for the ability see and understand things clearly. But when the reader looks deeper, they see a novel that is an allegory that is filled with rich and detailed symbolism in almost all aspects of the book.
Golding wants to show the savage nature of the human being. The book is in few others of the present time where findings of psychoanalysts of all schools, anthropologists, social psychologists, and philosophical historians, mobilized into an attack upon the central problem of modern thought. Can one remain civilized or will the temptation of their dark subconscious take over? Jack, later, forms his own tribe, as he does not think Ralph to be a good chief. During this period of time the world was divided into parts; the free world and the Soviet Union. .
In Lord of the Flies, the character Ralph represents order, leadership, and civilization. Critics also have noted that Simon's confrontation with resembles Christ's conversation with the devil during his forty days in the wilderness as described in the New Testament gospels, and critics have noted parallels between Simon's murder and Christ's sacrifice on the cross. Simon names the pig head 'Lord of the Flies', and believes it is talking to him. The war took place mostly in European theatre. Lastly, in the story the most significant problem that faced the kids is the denial of their guilt. They fear being ridiculed and picked on. Only Simon identifies the dead man, and decides to tell everyone else.
Symbols Symbols are objects, characters, figures, and colors used to represent abstract ideas or concepts. That man would quickly resort to their violent tendencies when under pressure and how easy it would be for them to lose their innocence. It is a physical representation of the beast that talks and explains the true nature of evil to Simon. But he really ends up making the best decisions in the book. A group of British schoolboys are in a plane crash, and left stranded on a deserted island with no adult help. Even though the novel shows that evil in every person exists, the basic human goodness still appears to prevail when all is said and done.
As we will soon see, Golding is trying to teach us something about human nature as well as issue a dire warning. Throughout the novel, the author hides powerful messages in some very unlikely places. Although Satan in the Genesis account also has been read as a reflection of evil within human nature, readers usually consider Satan an external force. Biblical Allegory Before the book is even opened, its similarities to stories of the Bible are apparent. Still others maintained that Golding wrote the novel as a criticism of the political and social institutions of the West. His unique work is exemplified by combines which when viewed from the typical aspect of art in terms of composition or even shape can give a wrong impression and message but when you change the perspective, new messages and information can be deciphered although. In the end, the smashing of the conch with the death of Piggy symbolizes the end of whatever little democracy or civility was left in the boys.
In the end, the fire raging out of control depicts the boys' loss of control. The Boys Just as other things, the boys also represent different aspects of society. Scholar 9th Literature 8, August 2013 Lord of the Flies Lord of the Flies overall theme portrays survival from a civilization vs. He often befriends the social pryers in the island. You may decide to tell a story that has deeper meaning beyond superficial details, a story that's more like a really long metaphor.
In order for the group to survive, animals must be killed in order for the boys to eat. It is an allegory, meaning that every actions or characters, in the book represent an event, character or action in the real life. Glasses In the novel, Piggy's glasses are used as a mode to start a fire. For better understanding, let's go through the summary, and check out the symbolism of Lord of the Flies. Even though I knew it was wrong, I wanted to do it. He threatens them with the knife that he has brought with him to the island.
The boys perceive a dead paratrooper tangled in the trees to be this beast. Desert island, English-language films, Ethics 1653 Words 6 Pages Christian Allegory In the novel, Lord of The Flies, author William Golding explores human behavior in it purest, neat form. This post is part of the series: Lord of the Flies Study Guide. William Golding's Lord of the Flies was written as a reaction to R. The boys begin crying, as they realize that they are now safe, but remember what all has happened on the island. Ralph uses it to gather all the boys, who were separated after the plane crash. A look at the plot and the different themes that come out of the story have been highlighted and discussed in detail.
The head further promises to have fun with him as a prediction imagery of his death in the following chapter when he is attacked by Ralph and Piggy. On this accord, the signal fire becomes a scale for signifying the amount of remaining civilized instinct. But they also both share one similarity. He controls them through fear. The dead parachutist symbolizes the adult world and its inability to maintain peace. The Lord of the Flies 1954 , is a novel in which interpretating the symbols are a main key to not only understanding, but also enjoying the novel.

Kambu millet seeds are small in size, averaging two millimeters in diameter, and are round to oval in shape. The light brown to tan seeds are attached to elongated spikes which resemble cattails. These spikes rise from long stems with long leaf blades. Each seed is not uniform in color and may also contain shades of purple or yellow. Kambu millet seeds are hard and firm with a slightly musty fragrance that some describe as mousy. They have a mild, nutty, and sweet flavor with some bitter and alkaline notes.
Kambu millet is available year-round.
Kambu millet, botanically classified as Pennisetum glaucum, is a cereal grain that belongs to the Poaceae or grass family. Descended from wild grasses found in the central highlands of the Sahara Desert, Kambu millet has been cultivated by the people of West Africa and India for thousands of years. Kambu millet is one of the most widely grown varieties of millet and is usually turned into a flour and used in bread and porridges. It may also be found in whole-grain form, cooked like quinoa, does not contain gluten, and is considered a good alternative for those diagnosed with celiac disease.
Kambu millet contains protein, starch, dietary fiber, vitamin A, vitamin B, and vitamin E. It also contains essential minerals like iron, zinc, and folate.
Kambu millet is best suited for cooked applications such as boiling and can be cooked like quinoa, simmered in boiling water, and then left to cool. Whole-grain millet can also be used in place of rice in dishes like biriyani, used in hamburgers and meatballs, or dry-roasted for a nuttier flavor. Kambu millet is often milled, then ground into a flour. In West Africa, it is used to make tô, which is a traditional porridge that is cooked with tamarind, lemon, wood ash, or potash. The porridge is allowed to cool and thicken and is served with a vegetable relish. In India, Kambu millet flour is used to make flatbreads called rotis or chapatis. Kambu millet pairs well with coriander leaves, cumin seeds, turmeric, garam masala, green chilies, ginger, lentils, garlic, onions, bok choy, carrots, and apples. It will keep up to two weeks when stored in a cool, and dry place in an airtight container. It can also be stored as flour in the freezer up to six months in a plastic bag.
Millet is one of the most widely grown crops in sub-Saharan Africa and is a staple food source. Kambu millet grains are traditionally milled by hand, pounded with mortar and pestle, and then winnowed in the wind. They are used in a number of traditional foods and beverages such as Namibia's oshikundu, which is a fermented drink that can be both alcoholic or non-alcoholic, and South Africa's opaque beer.
Kambu millet originated in the Sahel region of West Africa and spread to the semi-arid tropical regions of Africa and Asia. Its cultivation in Mali dates back to 2500 BCE and to 2300 BCE in South Asia. Today, the largest producer of Kambu millet is India, and most of India's Kambu millet comes from the harsh desert region of Rajasthan, where improved hybrids have been in development since the 1960s. Today small areas of production of Kambu millet also exist in Brazil and the United States, and it can be found at local markets in Africa, Asia, Southeast Asia, South America, and North America.

Ali and I got a chance to get out of the house for a bit on our visit to her mom and step-dad in Florida to check out the local fauna. I searched the Internet for Pensacola's Mad Happy (a band I've liked quite a bit and who I would expect to play in places I'd like to visit) to see if they had played anywhere in nearby Tarpon Springs.
They apparently had [although in a more thorough search, I don't think they did], so we went to The Neptune Lounge and Cyclery (13 S. Safford Ave., Tarpon Springs, FL): a bar/lounge by night and a bicycle shop by day (albeit next-door to one another) situated along The Pinellas Trail. We managed to hear the last song from the first band but got to see The Sound of Armada who played a good variety of jammy modern rock with a distinctive country flair.
From there we went to The Zone (121 E. Tarpon Ave., Tarpon Springs, FL) which was a nightclub and lounge. I gather that the reggae-funk band on the nice outdoor patio was called Paris, and indoors, they were playing a typical dance DJ mix. It was almost like two clubs in one … something I guess I should expect from such a small town.
So I got up around 10 a.m. on Monday — the last day of FrostBurn. I got ready to go and discovered that my car keys were missing. It was oddly just my car keys too: I still had my house keys, but I had somehow unclipped the car keys the night before. Since John and I were the last ones up, and we got no snow the night before, they must have been sitting right on top of the snow. I searched along the paths between the car, my winter shelter, and the bathrooms to no avail. I took down the winter shelter and packed everything up, checking every pocket and nook.
I gave Ali a call on a borrowed phone and let her know what was up. Although she's so awesome that she would have traveled the 5 hours out to get me, she's smart enough to get me to try other options first.
I had signed up for Better World Club last year and finally got a chance to use it. They tried contacting some locksmiths, and decided that the best bet would be to get the Buick Roadmaster towed to the nearest dealership. Lizzy called her friend and we thought a better option would be to bring the VIN to the dealership and have them make a new key. We got hold of Better World Club and called off the wrecker. They called contacted the nearest dealership and found it would cost all of $4.
As I walked around the car to fetch my hand-held GPS to give directions for people, I couldn't believe my eyes. The keys were sitting right out in the open, just a few feet in front of the car.
It might have been there all along, or it might have been kicked free by someone during the four hours of searching.
So I called Ali and got packed up and headed home. Once again, the snow sucked on the roads: all the way from Erie, PA to just east of Buffalo. I did make it home safely, though, and — overall — had a great time. I also got to be remembered as "Jason Who Lost His Keys" rather than (or "in addition to", perhaps) "Jason Who Passed Out in the Snow".
On the third day of FrostBurn, I woke up feeling much better. I was nice and warm inside the winter shelter overnight. I got to have a lot of bacon during the day — largely from the Church of Bacon camp. Too much bacon, I think — if that's even possible [although I could still smell it two days and three showers after I returned.] I got my sea-legs back and had a few drinks during the day. I didn't participate in the Polar Plunge, though, figuring it was something I would not regret if I didn't do it.
I had another nice night beside a roaring fire. I even played with melting glass in the fire. After one of the guys left and took his music, I pulled the Buick around and played some stuff for people. Unfortunately it was already quite late so it wasn't long before we called it a night. I don't even remember turning off the battery on the car, but I got up later and checked and it was fine.
On day two of FrostBurn, I felt pretty hungover. Needless to say [or is it?], I skipped all alcohol today. My shelter had made it through the night, although there was no reason it should not have. I spent some time resting inside the shelter and with the heater on, the temperature easily climbed to over 70°F. All my water and soda had frozen so I put it inside the heated "bath house" — thankfully this year, we had access to heated bathrooms.
That was the night of the burn, too. The guy who made this year's effigy did a great job and burned well. It really looked like a snowman, too, since the body was made of three multifaceted approximations of spheres. There was another Jason — "The Jason" — who was the poster boy of the festivities. He ran around with a bottle of Jameson's in one hand and champagne in another, all the while with a toy monkey on his back.
That night I got to do the official winter shelter experiment: not use the heater. When I got inside, it was 18°F. I had calculated that the 84 or so square feet of the R-3.3 "Tuff-Board" stuff would allow the interior temperature to be about 20°F higher than outside with just one person inside (assuming they'd produce about 75 watts of heat). After an hour or so, the temperature had climbed to 26°F.
That's still really friggin' cold so I turned on the heater and quickly brought the temperature into a more temperate range.

WPPJ continues winning legacy with one win, three finalists

Alexander Popichak, Vinnie Ferrainola and Brandon Cross pose with their trophy for best celebrity interview at the Intercollegiate Broadcast System Awards in New York City Saturday, March 4.
Written By Michael Richter, Co-News Editor
WPPJ, Point Park's student-run radio station, won one award and finished as finalists in three other categories at the Intercollegiate Broadcasting System (IBS) award ceremony in New York City at the Hotel Pennsylvania March 4.
"Leading up to the event, I was just happy to be sitting there knowing that our school – our small campus radio station – was nominated among the best of the best in the country and can walk away with some awards," WPPJ station manager Vinnie Ferrainola said in a phone interview Monday. "It truly is an honor to be a part of this great campus radio station."
WPPJ's four-trophy stint at the 2017 IBS international conference, which took place from Mar. 3-5, serves as the station's seventh year winning an IBS award. Ferrainola, Brandon Cross and the Globe's Editor-in-Chief Alexander Popichak won Best Celebrity Interview for their interview with Sarah Koenig, the host of the renowned podcast "Serial."
"It was kind of surreal to win that award. It was kind of crazy that we actually won," Cross said during a phone interview Monday. "It was a big one, and the Sarah Koenig interview was interesting."
Miranda Van Bramer, Assistant General Manager of the station, scored a finalist award in the Best Promo Series category for her promos about her WPPJ show "Girls Overboard." In addition, Ferrainola garnered a finalist award in the Best Station Promo video category, and Cross earned a finalist award for Best Public Service Announcement.
"Getting a finalist trophy didn't mean we weren't as good as somebody else," Ferrainola said. "It just meant that they didn't pick us over somebody else for one reason or another."
Ferrainola was a bit nervous in the hours leading up to the award ceremony this past Saturday, but after talking to multiple people from radio stations from across the country, he realized that he was satisfied just to be recognized as one of the best college radio stations.
"It made it a little bit easier to sit there and relax and enjoy myself rather than crossing my fingers and hoping we came away with the No. 1 trophy," Ferrainola said.
Cross did not recall experiencing nerves about the ceremony, and he said that he had not realized the prestige the IBS awards until the day of the award ceremony.
"It kind of hit me that we were up for an award that is something important nationally," Cross said. "I didn't really think about it being out of everybody in the United States."
Cross and Ferrainola both said they and Popichak were "ecstatic" when the trio was announced as winners of the Best Celebrity Interview award.
"Alexander, Vinnie and I were pumped," Cross said. "They put in a lot of work, and I put in some work; it was rewarding."
As Ferrainola, Cross and Popichak were deemed victors, Van Bramer became excited.
"At that point, I was really hype," Van Bramer said in an interview via phone call Monday. "I was like, 'Oh man, we're going to bring home more than one winner's trophy. It's going to be great.'"
Then the winner for Best Promo Series was announced.
"Once I heard that it wasn't my name, I was like, 'Oh, that sucks,'" Van Bramer said.
However, she was still honored to win a finalist's trophy.
"Being a finalist is still a pretty great recognition," Van Bramer said. "Not everybody who submitted something is going to get a trophy. They have thousands of submissions, so even if you're a finalist, it's a huge recognition – just holding a trophy is awesome."
Ferrainola is proud to be a part of WPPJ and its award-winning legacy.
Moreover, he believes the station will come away from next year's IBS awards with more winner's trophies.
"I have nothing but good things to say about the people who came before me, the people I currently work with and the people I work with now who will stay beyond my years at Point Park," Ferrainola said. "I won't be surprised if next year I see Point Park walk out with two or three awards as opposed to one first place trophy and a couple of finalist's trophies."
