ETFs Find a Role in a Long-Term Portfolio
Heather Bell
When CNBC ranked the top U.S. advisory firms in the U.S. last month, Albion Financial Group placed third. Chief Investment Officer Jason Ware told ETF.com's Heather Bell about how the firm uses ETFs and discussed principles driving its investment approach.
ETF.com: What's Albion's investment philosophy, customer base, etc.?
Jason Ware: Our investment philosophy is very much based on thinking and acting long term. We want to own great investments for our clients that are well diversified. And just like Buffett says, our preferred holding period is forever. That's not the case all the time. If fundamentals change, we will make changes in the portfolio. But our turnover is fairly low.
We are a registered investment advisor. We've been in business for 40 years, starting in 1982. Fast forward 40 years later, and we have about $1.5 billion under management.
We work with about 700 high net worth families, which amounts to about 2,000 accounts. We are very much a holistic wealth management firm. We do the investment management, and as CIO, I oversee the investment research and the portfolio design and how that's implemented in terms of our clients' portfolios. And we do financial advice.
ETF.com: Long or short?
Ware: We're long only, so we're not trying to short stocks. We're not traders, and we're not trying to make guesses on where the market is going to go over the short term or what ETF is going to outperform which or which stock we should own for the next six months.
We use individual equities; we also use ETFs both on the equity and fixed income side. We do individual bonds for clients where that makes sense—that's typically larger dollar amounts in terms of the account value. For clients that have smaller dollar amounts but want a fixed income allocation, we use fixed income ETFs.
ETF.com: What about ETF allocations?
Ware: On the ETF side, the turnover is even lower, because of course, part of the reason that we invest in ETFs is that inherent diversification. On the individual security side, there's more idiosyncratic risks, so we are making changes there. But again, the turnover in the portfolio is probably less than 20%. We're fairly static in terms of how we manage portfolios—we want to be long term investors.
On the equity side of the portfolio, we use a core- satellite approach, and that's really how the ETFs get into the mix. We have ETF-only portfolios for smaller clients—like less than $250,000—typically we use ETFs solely unless the client wants individual stocks. Then we'll customize the portfolio.
But if someone comes to us with $1 million and it's not a balanced account—maybe they're 100% equities—and they say, "do what you do," that account would be roughly 50% individual equities and 50% ETFs. ETFs are the core and the satellite are the individual companies that complement the core. We're fairly static in the ETF portion, although we do have some tactical tilts that we do on the ETF side as well.
ETF.com: Are you using actively managed ETFs?
Ware: The core piece of our equity strategy are largely [passive] ETFs that are getting us exposure to geographies and factors and market caps. Those don't change a lot over time—the sizing of the ETF in the context of the overall portfolio does change. But it's not like we're going to say suddenly, we are bearish over the next 10 years on small cap, so let's worry about the iShares Core S&P Small-Cap ETF (IJR). That's unlikely to happen.
We do have an element of our ETF slice of the portfolio that is more tactical, like for example, we own a biotech ETF that is a deliberate expression of a bullish view on biotech as a sector, the iShares Biotechnology ETF (IBB). We owned for example, the Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLE) for a while. It's like the gold standard energy ETF out there.
We will do the active management as an overlay to the ETF as opposed to selecting ETFs that have active managers. And the reason that we prefer to do that is you typically pay more for the actively managed ETFs. But I'm not sure you're really getting the value of what you're paying. Studies have shown active management [in the ETF and mutual fund space] does not typically not provide a whole lot of value above their costs.
ETF.com: What is your general advice to investors regarding current volatile markets?
Ware: This probably won't surprise you, but our advice to clients in just about every market environment is "think and act long term." Don't let 10-year money turn into 10-minute money or 10-month money. It's easy to say and difficult to execute, and it's why our clients lean on us as their advisor in their corner because we can help them think through and contextualize bear markets.

Reading Chinese Tea Leaves: 20,000 EV Sales, or Maybe Not
By Jim Motavalli · July 18, 2012
Some 20,000 of these small Kandi Technologies' electrics could soon be on the road in Hangzhou. But maybe it will take longer. (Kandi photo)
Chinese electric vehicle sales will either rapidly overtake the U.S. because of government will, infrastructure development and lucrative subsidies, or—frankly—they won't. And reading the Chinese tea leaves isn't that easy. But the news from China can be exciting!
The Big Order!
Case in point, a report that little-known Chinese EV maker Kandi Technologies is preparing to lease 20,000 electric vehicles to the city of Hangzhou. An article in Forbes describes it as "the largest EV sale ever announced" and "effectively the largest scale trial of the use of EV batteries for vehicle to grid (V2G)." Wow.
But is it actually going to happen? I heard about all this from Art Porcari, who is a shareholder in Kandi. The value of investment in the company is hotly debated, especially in Seeking Alpha. Porcari seems to think it's a small-dunk. "With a Hangzhou population of 11 million," he told me, "does anyone really think there is any risk that 20,000 prospective lessors at $126 a month, free battery exchanges included, will not be found?" He said the company's market cap has increased $23 million since the news first leaked out. He pointed out that Tesla Motors recently increased its market cap by almost $200 million "on no news." So are the checkbooks coming out?
In Kandi's July 16 announcement, the company said the locally based State Grid would work with Kandi and China Aviation Lithium Battery Company to "produce automobile-use lithium batteries and purchase 20,000 electric vehicles for personal leasing." The State Grid is responsible for building a charging network, the release said, and the Hangzhou municipal government will provide financial subsidies for consumers to make low-cost leases possible.
Raising Doubts
That all seems plausible enough, but other Seeking Alpha posts cast Kandi as a risky prospect for investors. The 20,000-car order, Andrew Cherna writes, "is not happening anytime soon. Instead, there will be a 100-vehicle pilot program."
Indeed, a Chinese article from the First Financial Daily, translated none too clearly by Google, makes that point. "The source said the plan Hangzhou electric car rental project will start in August, the most important 100 test run of electric cars." According to the same source, the 20,000-car order will happen "within two years," and "mainly for the working-class customers."
So it doesn't look like there will be an immediate big lease sale. The article also quotes China Association of Automobile Manufacturers statistics that 10,202 "new energy" vehicles were sold in the first quarter of 2012, 1,830 of them pure electrics. Not yet a flood of plug-in cars in the world's largest auto market, apparently, though all the pieces are in place for such a launch.
Chinese Sales Slow
Chinese car sales were very slow in the first quarter of 2012, though there was something of a rebound in June. After spectacular growth, it's not the healthiest market right now.
Pike Research said early this month that China will fall well below its goal (enshrined in the five-year plan) of selling 500,000 plug-in cars by 2017. Pike thinks actual sales will be something over 152,000 by that year, less than one percent of total light-duty sales.
According to research director John Gartner, "The Chinese government initially overestimated consumer demand for electric vehicles, and has made adjustments to its incentive policies. Many members of the emerging middle and upper classes prefer imported vehicles with nameplates from the United States or Germany—especially larger sedans in which owners can sit comfortably while their drivers navigate China's often-congested roads."
Changing the Mandates
The incentives, Gartner, said, are being adjusted to be more favorable to hybrids and plug-in hybrids. Interestingly, that's the same path followed by the California Air Resources Board, which—under industry pressure—canceled a tough mandate for 10 percent battery cars on the road by 2003. The bottom line, for investors and the rest of us, is that China's path to electrification is no straight road. There will be speed bumps and obstacles, just as there are everywhere else.

80 Per cent Target To Saliva Test For Students In Order For Schools To Open
Yesterday Minister of Education Diallo Rabain gave an update to the public on the plans to transition our public schools from Remote Learning to in-person instruction. In September, based on the data received at that time the decision to start the school year via remote learning was made. This decision was not made lightly, as we have repeatedly acknowledged that in-person learning is best for our students.
Since beginning the school year remotely, we have not stopped looking for ways to return to in-person learning, but we are constantly balancing that desire with the safety and health of our students and staff.
To safely return to in-person learning, we are employing a phased approach for the return to school that considers the COVID-19 guidelines and recommendations of the Ministry of Health and assesses data such as coronavirus testing results, Saliva Screening Programme consent, and staffing availability.
At present, the Ministry of Health has recommended that when we return to in-person learning, that we do so under Phase 1 of the COVID-19 Return to School Guidelines.
As all parents and guardians should be aware, the Saliva Screening Programme was implemented during the last academic year as an additional layer of protection for our students and staff.
More recently, Antigen Lateral Testing has been introduced to Bermuda, and the Ministry is looking into how this tool can possibly be used as an additional screening tool.
However, it is imperative that everyone is reminded that both saliva screening and antigen lateral testing are additional layers of protection. They are not substitutes for health guidelines such as mask-wearing, physical distancing, hand sanitising, and other protection measures Like Staying home when you are sick. We will continue with these basic health guidelines while consistently employing additional layers of protection as they are developed.
The on-going saliva screening process is critical because it enables us to identify asymptomatic individuals. It is universally acknowledged that identifying an individual at this stage is much more beneficial than identifying after becoming symptomatic.
Much discussion and misinformation floated in the community about the screening programme that we feel may be contributing to hesitancy to consent. However, for absolute clarity, the screening programme will administer COVID PCR tests using several methods as follows:
Buccal Swab Method: Which is a swab of the mouth and is typically used for younger students and students with special needs.
Saliva Collection: Which involves spitting into a tube either self-administered or with assistance. This method is the least invasive method and can be used by most students or staff members.
Nasal Swab Method: Which involves collection via a nasal swab. This method can be used on any student or staff member however, to date we have not received any requests for students or staff to receive a nasal swab and therefore will be offering saliva collection unless someone specifically requests a nasal swab.
Bermuda, we have worked diligently to look at practical and easy to adhere methods to get our students and staff back into our schools. We are tasked with working with a wide variety of stakeholders and campuses. As we have 10 Preschools, 18 Primary Schools, 4 Middle Schools, 2 Senior Schools, 1 Special School and 1 Alternative Programme, our circumstances are unique. Our plan to reopen has to consider the safety of all and is phased to consider schools that have reached important benchmarks first while we continue to work with the rest of our schools.
We previously announced that the level of saliva screening consent at a school is one of the determining factors. This has been identified as a critical factor in order to ensure the safety and health of students and staff. Based on the advice we have been given, a minimum of 80% of consent is required by each school for this screening to be considered an effective layer of protection for students and staff.
I am pleased to advise that multiple schools are over, or near, this consent level and this is excellent news. For those parents, guardians, and staff members who have not consented, we urge you to do so because first and foremost, we must all be reminded that protecting our staff and students and community at large is all of our responsibility. While we understand that there is hesitancy around positive tests and quarantine measures, our human responsibility is not to put others at risk. To register for Saliva Screening you can click the link at the top of the gov.bm webpage that says "Saliva Screening Consent Form"
We encourage all employers to recognize that we are still navigating a global pandemic and your staff members need your empathy and support during these unprecedented times. Suppose your staff members are parents or guardians and are required to quarantine. In that case, we urge you to support them through this process so that they are not forced to decide between refusing to have their children tested and potentially having them infect others, and financially sustaining their household.
Additionally, parents and guardians, where possible, build a network of support, a village, to support you as needed through these times as coronavirus is here with us to stay, and navigating these uncertain times requires support.
While your child may be asymptomatic, and in your mind if they are not "sick" they do not need to be tested, I strongly urge you to recognise that asymptomatic positives are still a threat to others. You do not know who your child is interacting with in school that may become sick, or may also become asymptomatic, and go home to infect a loved one who is immuno-compromised, struggling with medical conditions, unable to be vaccinated, and in turn your child is the root of negative, and even deadly consequences for them. Empathy and human decency is required now, more than ever.
Additionally, the longer the 80% consent threshold is not reached for a school, the longer it will take for that school to return to in-person learning.
The other data that will be assessed for schools reopening is the percentage of students and staff that test negative prior to the planned return to school. Testing will be scheduled and school populations will be required to test before returning to school. At least 80% of the school population has to have a NEGATIVE result before a school can reopen. Failure for 80% of the school population to test NEGATIVE will result in continued remote learning for that school.
All staff and students will be required to test NEGATIVE to return to school, however those students who do not participate in testing, will receive work packets and continue to work from home until they provide a NEGATIVE test result to return to school in person.
As I mentioned earlier, the use of Antigen Lateral Testing is being explored as an additional screening tool; however, this method will not be considered for the NEGATIVE return to school test result as a PCR test result will be required.
We will begin the pre-return testing on Monday, October 4th, hoping to see phased re-openings begin the week of October 11th if not sooner.
Our intention is, to begin with our most vulnerable students at Dame Marjorie Bean Hope Academy, our Alternative Programmes and other Special Schools, then move to our pre-schools, and so forth.
Testing will be specifically arranged for individual schools and there will be student and staff lists at the test sites to ensure only those scheduled are tested. There will be strict controls on testing and the school lists will be onsite to be cross referenced. If your school has not been contacted, please do not show up hoping to be tested as you will be turned away.
The aim is to return to in-school learning as safely as possible, and as quickly as possible. We know that this is what our parents, guardians, staff and students want, but especially what our students need. Just as this pandemic is taking a toll on adults, we must remember that our children are also impacted. They are not immune to the anxiety and frustration the pandemic has brought upon us, even if they may not be able to verbalise what they are feeling and experiencing.
The Ministry and Department of Education and the Ministry of Health have done all we can to provide a pathway for our schools to reopen in the safest manner possible. We are now leaning on our parents, guardians, and staff to play their part by showing up for the pre-return testing, consenting to the Saliva Screening Programme, and supporting all of the layers of protection in place to keep everyone safe.
I know that we have regularly touched on the aspect of learning, however, I also want to share with you that our students have continued to receive services from school counselors and specialists during remote learning. Our counselors have also provided support to parents and guardians who have reached out to them.
They support families by regularly checking in with students via individual zoom and telephone sessions, delivering lessons on positive and appropriate coping strategies, providing parenting tips, making referrals for community resources to assist families, and visiting homes as needed.
Counselors hold virtual office hours, and parents, guardians, and students have been encouraged to arrange a meeting if needed. They are also responding to teacher concerns about students. In some instances, they have been consulting with teachers about students who are not signing on for remote learning, and they have joined online classes to observe student engagement during remote lessons.
This week, counselors are preparing activities for Mental Health Awareness Week, which takes place from October 3rd to 10th.
I have said it countless times, we all have a role to play in ensuring that our students are supported and prepared to be the shining stars of the future. Bermuda, let's all band together to get our children back to where they belong, inside our schools.

Michael Saunders' revamped website is generating more visits, leads and higher conversions than its previous site.
A panel of 70 brokerage chief marketing and chief technology officers voted it the nation's best overall brokerage site. They also named top sites in seven other categories.
Best brokerage sites demonstrate how brokers can also thrive in real estate's online revolution.
Last year, Florida real estate brokerage Michael Saunders & Company decided to give its website a spitshine.
Now it looks good and moves quickly — and, more importantly, it's getting results.
The revamp, which was completed last August, improved the site's mobile design and beefed up its storytelling around the distinct communities and lifestyles that shine in its Sarasota market.
The site's visitor numbers jumped 45 percent, page views shot up 38 percent, and both lead counts and conversion rates have swelled since last August, according to David Gumpper, Michael Saunders' director of information systems, who guided the overhaul.
The polish didn't go unnoticed.
A panel of 70 brokerage chief marketing and chief technology officers recently voted it the nation's best real estate brokerage website as part of a survey conducted by real estate consulting firm Real Trends. Five tech experts whittled down 750 submissions to the top 25, which the judges then voted on.
An average of 70,000 visitors come to Michael Saunders' site each month.
"A picture's worth a thousand words," Gumpper said of the 630-agent firm's focus on beautiful imagery for the site, particularly its revamped neighborhood and lifestyle sections.
Words play a role, too. Each neighborhood section features its own unique copy.
Real estate marketing and design firm 1000watt designed the site, and Michael Saunders built it in-house with the help of its three full-time developers.
This design and tech may cost a pretty penny, but the investment has been good for the firm's bottom line, Gumpper said.
The brokerage earns higher splits from agents for the leads it sends them through its site, so an increase in volume and conversions directly contributes to the firm's bottom line.
As venture capital-backed real estate tech companies such as Zillow Group, realtor.com operator Move Inc. and Redfin seize real estate audience market share with millions of marketing bucks and forge ever more seamless designs and features, sites like Michael Saunders' (and those below) show that brokers can thrive, too, in real estate's online revolution.
Brokers can thrive, too, in real estate's online revolution.
Real Trends judges named four runners-up in the "overall" category: Michael Saunders & Company, Realty Austin, Climb Real Estate, Pacific Union International and William Pitt/Julia B Fee Sotheby's International Realty.
Winners and runners-up were also named in seven additional categories, including best overall design, best mobile site and best neighborhood pages. See each category's winners and runners-up below.

It's time to file your homestead exemption if you have not done so already! Filing your residential homestead exemption is a great chance for homeowners to combat high Texas property taxes as well as reduce financial stress. This opportunity is available to owners who live in the subject property (i.e. owners who are not leasing their home to tenants).
Filing this exemption is free of charge and simple to do by clicking here to download the exemption form, completing the form, and submitting it to your local CAD office. I am often asked, "What is a homestead exemption?" A homestead exemption removes part of the value of your home and reduces your property taxes by lowering its taxable value. The homestead exemption entitles the homeowner to a $15,000 reduction in value for school tax purposes. Counties, cities, and special taxing districts may offer homestead exemptions up to 20% of the total value. For example, if your home is valued at $50,000 and you receive a $15,000 homestead exemption, you will only pay taxes as if it were worth $35,000 for school tax. Tax benefits can include a tax savings per year, and can also prevent your assessed value from increasing more than 10% annually! Exemptions must be filed between January 1st and April 30th, and you must reside at the subject property as your primary residence on January 1st of the application year.
I am committed to providing you with outstanding service before, during and after the purchase or sale of your home. I understand that you have a choice when buying and selling your home and I sincerely appreciated the opportunity to assist you. If I can ever be of any assistance to you, your family or your friends, please call me at 972-849-4495. I am here when you need me!

The first step to solving a behaviour problem with your dog is to make sure that it's not a health problem. For example, a dog who starts throwing fits when you try to brush out the mats that form in the feathery hair behind his ears may have a painful ear infection. Two more examples: Some kinds of chewing can be attributed to nutritional deficiencies, and some house-soiling problems can be the result of a urinary-tract infection.
Training is for life. Your dog needs to keep learning, and keep using all he has been taught. That doesn't mean, however, that you have to make formal obedience sessions a permanent part of your life. Think, instead, of creative ways to expand your dog's working vocabulary and integrate the skills he has learned into your life together.
For example, make him do a "sit" or "down" before you take the ball from him. Put him on "stay," throw the ball, and then send him. Have two family members play recall games with him in the house: One calls and praises, and then the other does. These games keep him engaged, and they also help enforce his place in your family, which makes him feel confident and secure.
Probably one of the biggest contributors to dog behaviour problems is that dogs don't get nearly enough exercise. (Lack of exercise is also a big contributor to health problems: Too much food and not enough exercise make dogs fat.) By enough exercise I don't mean a walk around the block, stopping and sniffing at every shrub, street light, and fire hydrant. These outings are important, too, for your dog's mental health, not his physical one.
Instead, your dog needs 30 to 40 minutes of aerobic exercise that gets his heart pumping, and he needs it three or more times a week to stay fit, burn excess energy, and alleviate the stresses of modern life, which for many dogs starts with being a latchkey pup. This kind of exercise is especially important for dogs with a working heritage such as sporting or herding breeds. They need to move!

After our lunch at Luna Park, we decided to hit up Full Tilt on the suggestion of Scout and Lola. For me, it was all about the waffle cone since the smell was intoxicating. I decided to fill that cone with a scoop of Salted Caramel. I found it to be rich and creamy with very little air whipped in. There was a definite hit of salt that really amped up the sweetness. As for the waffle cone, it was crunchy and sweet. Scout ended up with the Raspberry Sorbet (so as my daughter) and it was light and just sweet enough. It wasn't icy.
Lastly, Lola had something a bit off the beaten path being the Horchata ice cream. If you haven't heard of this before, it is a Mexican drink consisting of rice milk and cinnamon. I found this one to be light on the cinnamon, but good nonetheless as it shared the same qualities as the one I had. Overall, it was a fun experience as it brought back some good memories in terms of the ol' skool video games and Magic too (ack... can't believe I admitted to that!).

Leon Vynehall - Brother / Sister EP
From Aus Music
AUS1348
Regular price £7.49 (£8.99 Inc VAT)
Repress released 22nd July 2016
Following in the footsteps of Midland, Dusky, Bicep, and Glimpse, Leon Vynehall is next in line to join Aus's early-2013 run of highly anticipated and sought after releases. Over the course of two EPs on Brighton's Well Rounded Housing Project and an acclaimed two-tracker on George Fitzgerald's ManMakeMusic imprint (Gold Language / Don't Know Why) Leon Vynehall has established himself as more than just your average dance producer: he's established himself as a genuine artist, whose approach to production carves its own unique path, regardless of expectation or reaction, as he himself admits, "I like chords, I like atmosphere and some sort of emotion in music. Rather than it being just about the dance floor, I like it being a bit of both. I like to take a sound and change it, manipulating things so they sound a bit dusty. With drums, I like to make them sound more human. I prefer dance music that isn't quantized, regimented, and super mixed down to the nano-perfect spot. I'm a believer in the fact that music doesn't have to sound professional to sound great. Mastering engineers hate me." The 'Brother / Sister EP', due on June 10th, is a master class in rough and ready house music - the A-side is a brutal, hook-fuelled rhythm that has already been destroying clubs in Saul's own sets, while the flipside - born of the same rugged percussion - is balanced with an undeniable beauty and melodic character that many contemporaries would struggle to pull off. Listeners of his XLR8R podcast from February this year will recognise "Brother," and after much speculation will be glad to know of its imminent release, while both sides of the 12″ also received their first radio airplay in Aus boss Will Saul's recent BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix.

When Holly Rizzuto Palker, an Italian American, married her Jewish husband, holiday cooking became more of a challenge than a fun celebration. Then an old family recipe helped bridge the gap between her interfaith family.
Although I'm an Italian-Catholic, I'm very aware that Passover is just around the corner.
Since I married my husband and we decided to raise our children in his religion, I've embraced celebrating the Jewish holidays. However, preparing for a week (or even a few days) of flourless fare can be daunting, especially when the festivity coincides with Easter, a holiday that's the complete opposite when it comes to food.
For my family, Easter means the end of abstinence, and its arrival ushers in a large spring celebration where we gorge on carb-laden delicacies.
As a kid, Good Friday marked the start of the delectable food preparation in my grandma's kitchen. The aroma of sautéed garlic and oil for the sauces she prepared in advance for Easter Sunday filled her house and made my taste buds pulse in anticipation.
"You get the mad-in-ad," (slang for the way Italian-American New Yorkers pronounce marinara) Grandma always said to me with a grandiose hand gesture as she poured her delicious sauce over a heaping bowl of rigatoni.
On the other hand, Passover is about giving up any sort of grain that has been allowed to ferment and rise. Don't get me wrong—my husband's family did its fair share of feasting. They gathered lovingly, participated in a symbolic ritual, and gobbled up multiple courses of rich dishes, such as tender brisket with gravy, chopped liver, and gefilte fish during the Seder. Just, no bread.
And it's the grainless part that got me. How could they laugh and celebrate over crispy matzo wafers instead of warm semolina bread doused in olive oil? I struggled to connect with Passover because it didn't feel joyful to me. The food is not what I associated with a good time. Although it was a meaningful weeklong observance that I was happy to honor because the holiday commemorated Jews' freedom from slavery in Egypt, when it fell during Easter, the two menus didn't blend well.
When I first encountered this conundrum, the idea of choosing matzo ball soup over spaghetti and meatballs seemed wrong. I was raised to show my love through comfort food, but to me, comfort food was all about pasta.
Then one day my husband commented that his late mother traditionally prepared a tantalizing meal the night before Passover as a kick-off to the restrictive week ahead. She did the same thing the night before Yom Kippur, whipping up delicious steaks to prepare them for the fast. For my husband, those erev (or night before) meals had become part of his holiday tradition.
That's when I figured out my place. Why not usher in the carbless week with my Grandma's traditional Sunday sauce as an evening-before-Passover meal? After all, I had the warmest memories from my childhood of aunts, uncles, and cousins gathering around the dining room table in her small Staten Island house on Easter Sunday. We could still have that—just as a pre-holiday celebration.
Since the meatless sauce was my favorite, I chose that version. I sautéed garlic and olive oil in a stockpot until it was golden brown and fragrant. The aroma transported me to my youth, where I sat helping Grandma chop cloves for the sauce in her old-fashioned, 1960s-style, baby-blue kitchen. Then, I stirred in tomato paste and sprinkled in salt and pepper. Once the base was cooked to the point of deliciousness—which I usually got into trouble by tasting too much of—I willed myself not to finish it by the spoonful. Instead, I poured in some cans of Grandma's trusted brand of whole peeled plum tomatoes and mashed them to the preferred lumpy consistency with my schiacciapatate (potato masher). Rigatoni was cooked al dente, smothered in marinara, and garnished with fresh basil from my windowsill garden and plenty of grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese.
"Pasta's ready! Hurry before it gets musciad!" I called to my clan, awaiting their reactions. (Musciad means mushy, a sin to Italians.) Once they had their first tastes, their smiles brought me the holiday happiness I was missing. Bonding through sharing familiar food is such a strong part of my Italian-American heritage that this was all I needed to bring my traditions into the mix. My husband and kids relished the dish even more than normal given the matzo-filled week that approached. A new tradition was born.
My idea was so well-received that I cooked an erev marinara sauce before Yom Kippur this past year, knowing my husband and daughter were about to fast. It took a little while to figure it out, but in the end, I discovered there are very few problems that can't be solved with pasta.

X-amining Generation X #8
"What Happened to Cassidy Keep?!"
Generation X investigates the disappearance of Cassidy Keep.
Writer: Scott Lobdell
Penciler: Roger Cruz
Inkers: Mark Buckingham and Al Milgrom
Letterer: Richard Starkings & Comicraft
Colorist: Steve Buccellato & Electric Crayon
Standing on the edge of a vast canyon, Banshee, alongside Emma and the rest of Generation X, wonders where the heck his ancestral home, Cassidy Keep, has gone, something which interests Black Air agent Scicluna as well. As the adults discuss the situation, Synch discovers he can use his powers to connect to the dimension into which the castle disappeared, which pulls him and the nearby Chamber into that realm. The rest of the group follow them by jumping into a plume of purple mist, and end up scattered in the realm of faerie. Elsewhere, Mondo's friend Cordelia dives into the ocean, and when she fails to emerge, Mondo goes in after her. Back in the faerie land, Chamber & Synch are battling a group of armored knights, while Banshee & Emma wake up in a dungeon alongside Eamon O'Donnell, the leprechaun keeper of Cassidy Keep. The rest of the students are confronted by Grand Dame, a fairy queen, who needs their help to repair the glamour machine, the source of the realm's magical power. Approaching the machine, M once more goes catatonic, then begins working, even as an angry dragon beats down the door, wondering who is messing with the glamour machine.
Mondo and his friend Cordelia, who first appeared in issue #3 (despite Mondo being heavily featured in both the pre-release promotional material and the alternate reality Generation Next), pop up in an interlude in this issue. Their story will continue in the series' '95 annual.
Eamon O'Donnell, the leprechaun caretaker of Cassidy Keep who last appeared in X-Men #103, pops up in this issue.
You'd be forgiven for not recognizing him, but we'll find out that's Omega Red watching Generation X disappear into the faerie land this issue.
Agent Scicluna of Black Air, from Excalibur, is at the site of the missing Cassidy Keep.
Synch is able to synch his power to another world.
Later, Synch is able to Synch his aura to Chamber without consciously doing so.
Harras misses another footnote, as Generation X's guest appearance in Wolverine #94 is credited to #91.
Emma notes that when she was part of the Hellfire Club, she didn't have to worry about getting sent to another dimension.
There's a funny bit where Glamour tries to sell the kids on the idea that they're destined to save the day, but Skin realizes she had just painted the scroll showing them in action earlier in the day.
M goes catatonic again, like she did in issue #5, before proceeding to fix the glamour machine.
While this isn't a terrible issue, it's hard not to assume it was written under the belief that Chris Bachalo would be on hand to draw it, and in turn, to imagine how much better it would be if he was. After all, dropping Generation X into a faerie-inspired alternate dimension seems like a plot tailor-made for Bachalo's skills. But unfortunately, the biggest problems in this issue are artistic ones, specifically (aside from the fact that Emma, Paige and Agent Scicluna all look like the same figure copy/pasted into panels), the difficulty in establishing where all the characters are relative to one another and within the story. The different clusters of characters' specific circumstances are made clear enough (Chamber & Synch fighting side-by-side, Banshee & Emma trapped in a dungeon, everyone else working to fix a magic computer), but where each of those plotlines is taking place physically relative to the others is muddied. Is the glamour machine just outside of where Banshee & Emma are being held? Are Synch & Chamber doing battle just over a hill, or half the world away? Once the characters enter the fantasy realm, the action became very "zoomed in" at the expense of establishing the setting, which makes the resulting events more difficult to follow than they should be.
Tomorrow, "Dream Nails" concludes in Excalibur #90. Friday, Cable reunites with Jenskot in Cable #24. Next week, X-Force #47.

Some things inexplicably stick with you forever, and for some reason, that dragon asking "Who's been messing around with the flippin' Glamour Machine?" has been rattling around in my head for the past 25 years.
Anyway, I agree with you -- there's no way Lobdell imagined anyone other than Bachalo illustrating this story when he wrote it. And while I think in general, Cruz's figures and faces are better drawn here than in the previous issue, which looked especially rushed, I also agree with your criticism of the "zoomed in" nature of all the locations (good way to put it, too). There are no establishing shots to be found, which would've come in really handy.
Fortunately, next issue Tom Grummett comes aboard on fill-ins, and everything should look a lot better!
As far as the story itself -- I really liked the original Claremont/Cockrum Cassidy Keep story, and I think it was relatively fresh in my mind at this point, as it hadn't been all that long since I'd first read their run in CLASSIC X-MEN -- so seeing Eamon O'Donnell back was a nice surprise. But I seem to recall being unimpressed with the story's excursion into fairyland. It's a cute idea, and I probably would've liked it more if Bachalo had drawn it, but I think I was hoping for something more traditional, maybe with Black Tom as the villain again.
Though I was quickly learning that "traditional" was not Lobdell's vision for this series, and eventually I came to embrace it. Though even now, I still find this particular story lackluster, at least at this point. I don't remember how part 2 goes, so we'll see if my mind is changed at some point.
"Mondo and his friend Cordelia [...] pop up in an interlude in this issue. Their story will continue in the series' '95 annual."
I remember wondering way back when you looked at issue 3 that I couldn't recall if it was Lobdell or a later writer who established Cordelia as Emma's sister. The fact that she's named here as Cordelia Frost pretty much answers that question for me.
"You'd be forgiven for not recognizing him, but we'll find out that's Omega Red watching Generation X disappear into the faerie land this issue."
Out of curiosity, how would that not be recognizable as Omega Red? True, he's missing his headband and... uhh, retainer (?), but based on the skin coloring, the hair, and the silhouette of his costume, I don't think I was ever confused as to who it might be.
Austin Gorton February 13, 2020 at 6:11 PM
Out of curiosity, how would that not be recognizable as Omega Red?
Eh, he's a dude with red eyes and a blonde mullet. Without the headband/omega symbol and the tentacles, I wouldn't blame anyone who didn't immediately recognize him as Omega Red.
Daniel February 17, 2020 at 12:39 AM
Yep, this issue is basically Bachalo or bust. As a teen, this is when Generation X started to get boring for me. Little did I know the absolute dreck it would turn into as soon as OZT was over.
And has it ever been revealed what the hell happened with Mondo? I'd love to hear Lobdell explain what his plans were and why they were very obviously dropped.

Obama Judge Says Immigrants Must Get Hearing in 10 Days or Be Released
Immigration law 'does not negate class members' interests — of the utmost importance — in freedom from imprisonment...'
By Assistant Editor
Migrants seeking asylum wait in line with their case paperwork. / AP Photo
(Headline USA) Newly detained immigrants must appear before a judge within 10 days, rather than the weeks or months they've sometimes had to endure in recent years, a judge said Monday.
The ruling by U.S. District Judge Alison J. Nathan was the first of its kind in the nation to set such a rule for the U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement agency.
Prior to receiving her judgeship, Nathan was associate White House counsel for Barack Obama.
Open-border activist groups praised the ruling. They said in a release that it would strike a blow to federal immigration authorities who hold detained immigrants indefinitely before they appear before a judge.
The judge said a law authorizing the detention of immigrants while removal proceedings are pending "does not negate class members' interests — of the utmost importance — in freedom from imprisonment."
"Class members may not have a 'fundamental right to be released during removal proceedings,' but nor does the Government have an unfettered right to detain them," she added.
In 2014, the average wait to see a judge was 11 days, but it had stretched to over a month in 2017 and nearly three months in 2018, according to the judge's ruling.
Messages for comment was sent to the Justice Department, which represented the agency in court, and ICE, which falls under the Department of Homeland Security.
"A few weeks or months of sitting in inhumane ICE detention facilities can be dangerous and devastating for individuals and their families," said Niji Jain, an attorney at The Bronx Defenders. "The Court's ruling recognizes that prompt access to an immigration judge is a fundamental right — one that is all the more important when detention facilities are hotbeds for the spread of COVID-19."
"Locking people up for months before they first see a judge during immigration proceedings is unjust and unlawful, and it does immense harm to immigrant families," said Bobby Hodgson, staff attorney at the New York Civil Liberties Union.
Class member Shemar Michel said ICE officers told him he'd be home by dinner time when they picked him up as he prepared his children for school. He said he didn't see a judge for six weeks.
"During that time, I was mentally shattered, I missed my son's second birthday, and I felt like I had no chance to fight my case. I told the ICE officers I would rather buy my own plane ticket home than stay in ICE detention any longer," he said. "I hope the judge's ruling ensures nobody will have to go through what I went through."
The civil rights groups said in their release that many individuals held for months were entitled to release. They said about 40% of them were eventually released on bond. Others, they added, were U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents.
The groups said the average petitioners have lived in the United States for 16 years and nearly a third are lawful permanent residents.
The judge granted class action status to a lawsuit by civil rights groups filed two years ago in Manhattan federal court. She noted that the federal government had never filed arguments opposing the designation.

Q: IWYU failing/unclear output? I recently installed include-what-you-use (IWYU) to try it out. I am on version include-what-you-use 0.12 based on clang version 9.0.1-10. (My OS is Ubuntu 20.04 on WSL1)
I tried to do a very simple example on a source code file, but it quickly comes back as an error on the very first include? (Which is just a c standard library file)
After running
include-what-you-use myutils.cpp:
In file included from myutils.cpp:8:
In file included from ./myutils.h:11:
/usr/bin/../lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/9/../../../../include/c++/9/cfloat:42:10: fatal error: 'float.h' file not found
#include <float.h>
^~~~~~~~~

Why is it error'ing out on a c standard library include?
I cannot post the entire source here, and without extensive testing I am not sure what minimal example would cause this problem.
Am I just mis-using IWYU? I installed it via apt rather than building it and llvm/clang/etc from scratch. Is that fine?

Birmingham's education sector is among the top three largest in the UK while Coventry's employment rate was among the strongest recorded across the third quarter of 2017, according to a new study by law firm Irwin Mitchell.
The UK Powerhouse study, which is produced in conjunction with the Centre for Economics and Business Research (Cebr), provides an estimate of GVA growth and job creation within 45 of the UK's largest cities 12 months ahead of the Government's official figures.
According to the latest report, Birmingham's economy grew by 1.5 per cent to reach £24.6 billion in the 12 months to Q3 2017. In addition, the city's employment level rose by 0.9 per cent to 562,967 across the same period.
Elsewhere in the Midlands, Coventry moved up a place to third in the report's league table on employment, with the number of people in work rising by 1.2 per cent to 190,717. Notable employment growth was also seen in Wolverhampton, which moved up nine places after an increase of 0.8 per cent was recorded.
The latest report also examines the impact that education has on city economies; with Birmingham's education sector being valued at £498.4 million. This makes it the third largest in the UK behind only London and Oxford.
According to the latest data, the city's education sector also grew by 9 per cent between 2012 and 2015 and makes up 8 per cent of the total city's GVA.
"While Birmingham itself had modest employment growth across the period analysed, there was better news for both Coventry and Wolverhampton in terms of employment rates.
The report notes the education sector makes a major contribution to economic growth within many areas surrounding universities and also offers recommendations on how it can continue to do so.

Depends on where you buy it. (And what they will charge for shipping costs).
Super Soundproofing sells it for $1.47 per sq. ft. You may be able to at least minimize shipping by getting it from one of our locations nearest you.


"O Kumail ibn Ziyaad! The hearts are receptacles, so the best of them is the one which preserves the best. So memorise what I say to you.
The people are of three (types): the Scholar who is rabbaanee , the one learning being upon the path of salvation, and the confused rabble who follow everyone who calls out – bending along with every wind – they are not enlightened by the light of knowledge, nor do they lean upon a firm support.
Knowledge is better than wealth. Knowledge is a protection for you, whereas it is you that has to protect wealth. The zakaat of knowledge is action, whereas spending decreases wealth. And love of the Scholar is part of the Religion. Knowledge brings about obedience for the Scholar in his own lifetime and causes him to have good repute after his death, whereas the benefit of wealth ceases when it passes away. The hoarders of wealth have died even though they are still alive, whereas the Scholars remain for as long as time remains – their persons are lost, but their examples remain in the hearts.
Here, indeed here – (and he pointed to his chest) – there is knowledge, if only I could find carriers for it. But instead I have found them quick to comprehend, but not trustworthy. They use what pertains to the Religion for worldly ends. They seek to use Allaah's proofs against His Book, blindly following the people of truth, but having no insight regarding receiving it.
Doubt pierces their hearts when anything problematic arises. They are neither this nor that. They do not know where the truth lies, and if they are mistaken then they do not know why. They are ardently in love with something the true state of which they do not know – so they become a trial for others.
And indeed, the utmost good is for the one to whom Allaah grants understanding of the Religion And it is enough ignorance for a person that he does not know about his Religion. Such a person is passionately addicted to pleasures, accustomed to following desires, or is one given to amassing wealth and piling it up. Such people are not from the callers to the Religion rather they are more like the grazing cattle. And thus knowledge passes away with the passing away of those who carry it.
Rabbaanee: The Scholar who acts in accordance with his knowledge and has insight into the condition of the people – so that he raises them upon the primary matters of knowledge before the more detailed and difficult matters.
Reported by Abu Nu'aym in Hilyatul-Awliyaa (1/79-80), al-Khateeb al-Baghdaadee in al-Faqeeh wal-Mutafaqqih (1/49-50) and Ibn Katheer in al-Bidaayah wan-Nihaayah (9/47).


A number of States, including Florida, provide valuable creditor protection for homesteads, and such protections can act to exempt a homestead from the reach of creditors in a bankruptcy proceeding. Because of perceived abuses of these protections, Section 522(p)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code was enacted. This provision caps the portion of a homestead exemption allowable in a bankruptcy proceeding at $125,000 (now $136,875 per inflation adjustment) for interests in real property that a debtor acquires within the 1,215-day period immediately preceding bankruptcy.
Clearly, then, if a debtor purchases a homestead in Florida and files a petition within 1,215 days, only the first $136,875 in value will be protected, and not the entire value if it exceeds $136,875. What happens if the debtor owned the property more than 1,215 days before filing for homestead, but only made the property his or her homestead within the 1,215 period?
According to a recent Bankruptcy Court case, this conversion of status within the 1,215 day period does not trigger the $136,875 limitation. Such a conversion was held not to be an acquisition of an "interest" within that time period.
The Bankruptcy Courts have been inconsistent on this issue. In Nevada, a Bankruptcy Court held that the dollar limitation was triggered under similar facts. However, courts in Texas and Massachusetts have ruled similarly to Florida.

You could become the owner of Donald Trump's old Ferrari F430 and Rolls-Royce
Fancy owning a piece of US Presidential history?
Kieran Bicknell posted in Today's Top News
With his time as POTUS coming to an end, you'd be forgiven for thinking these cars going up for sale was a last-ditch attempt at cashing in on some assets for Donald, but he actually sold these cars years ago to a private collector.
Regardless of your views on Trump, there's no denying that he has owned a number of awesome cars. Now, two of his previous rides are coming to the market, in the shape of a Ferrari F430 and a Rolls-Royce Phantom. Both cars will be auctions off by Mecum in January 2021, and it will certainly be interesting to see the effect the Trump name has on the values of these cars.
Mecum Auctions
The F430 in question is in impeccable condition. Finished in the timeless spec of Rosso Corsa bodywork over a tan leather interior, the F430 only shows a mere 6,900 miles on the clock. The original title is also included with the sale, bearing the signature of one Donald J. Trump.
When previously sold, it fetched $270,000 at auction, but with Trump now having a history as the President of the United States, the value may exceed this significantly.
By contrast, the 2010 Rolls Royce Phantom shows a significant level of use, with over 56,000 miles on the clock. It has also been well-optioned, being fitted with the so-called 'Theatre Package' which adds the starlight headliner, electric window curtains, and more. The owners manual is also an interesting piece of memorabilia all by itself, bearing a quote from Donald saying "I loved the car, it is great! Best of luck" along with his signature.
While the cars themselves are undoubtedly valuable, the interesting part will be just how much value their history with Trump adds to the vehicles. With Mecum auctioning them off between 7 and 17 January 2021, we don't have long to wait.

Russia has blocked a UN security Council resolution on Syria
March 1, 2017 IMMWorld
Russia on Tuesday has used its veto in the UN security Council blocking a resolution on sanctions against Syria.
The document was supported by nine members of the UN security Council. Three voted against, including Russia, and three abstained.
In the Russian mission to the UN has previously noted that "in the form in which the text is presented to the security Council, Russia to support it can't."
In the draft resolution, the United States, France and Britain condemn the incidents of chemical weapons use by the armed forces of Syria and call for sanctions against individuals and companies that, in their opinion, are related to attacks with chemical weapons.
Proposed sanctions include, first of all, the freezing of funds, other financial assets and economic resources; prevent the entry or transit of individuals sanctioned through the territory of States members of the United Nations; a ban on the direct or indirect supply, sale or transfer to the Syrian authorities chlorine or items specified in the lists of the Convention on chemical weapons, and all weapons, all helicopters and related materiel.
For the purposes of monitoring and further updating of such a sanctions mechanism, the sponsors want to establish a sanctions Committee of the UN security Council, with a supporting group of experts.
The initial sanctions list, prepared by them, includes 11 representatives of the military leadership of Syria and 10 specialized institutions.
A number of countries accused the Syrian military to use chemical weapons in the fighting in Syria. In Damascus such accusations are strongly rejected.
Earlier edition of Foreign Policy wrote that Washington prepares for a confrontation with Moscow in the UN over Syria.

De Rechtbank Arnhem was tot 2013 een van de rechtbanken in Nederland. De rechtbank in Arnhem behandelde alle zaken in het voormalige arrondissement Arnhem.

Geschiedenis
De rechtspraak in Arnhem gaat terug tot het jaar 1233. In dat jaar gaf Otto II, graaf van Gelre en Zutphen, Arnhem stadsprivilege. Het Arnhemse schepengerecht, zoals het gerecht toen werd genoemd, leek veel op die van andere Gelderse steden. Door het schepengerecht werden kwesties binnen het stedelijk gerechts- en bestuursgebied behandeld. Een aantal eeuwen is deze manier van rechtspraak ongewijzigd gebleven.

Vanaf het midden van de vijftiende eeuw besloot de hertog van Gelre om meer permanent in de oude residentie van het Hof van Gelre aan de Markt te gaan wonen. Arnhem had toen twee verschillende rechtscolleges: het stedelijk schepenrecht en de hertogelijke raad, het adviescollege van de hertog in bestuurlijke en juridische aangelegenheden. Vanaf dat moment kreeg Arnhem een meerwaarde binnen het gewest Gelre. In 1543 wordt de hertogelijke raad voortgezet door het Hof van Gelre en Zutphen. De aanwezigheid van beide gerechten zorgt voor een belangrijke economische en sociale impuls voor Arnhem. De schepenbank is vanaf de Middeleeuwen tot aan de opheffing in 1811 gevestigd geweest in het, in vroeg gotische stijl opgetrokken oude stadhuis aan de Markt, wat in 1840 is gesloopt.

Met de komst van de Fransen in 1795 vond een verandering plaats op bestuurlijk en juridisch terrein. Zo werden tal van vernederende rechtsgewoonten, zoals het dragen van strafstenen, het radbraken en het tentoonstellen van lijken aan de galg, afgeschaft. Na 1813, onder het bewind van koning Willem I, trad er een periode van vernieuwing aan maar werden sommige gebruiken zoals het schavot, de beul, geseling en brandmerken weer in ere hersteld. De huidige rechterlijke organisatie kreeg in 1833 gestalte.

Paleis van Justitie
Op de plaats waar nu de marktzijde is van het huidige paleis van justitie begon men in 1833 onder leiding van stadsarchitect Anthony Aytink van Falkenstein met de bouw van een nieuw Paleis van Justitie. Het werd gebouwd in neoclassicistische stijl. Het middengedeelte werd versierd door vier zuilen in Dorische stijl.

Tijdens de slag om Arnhem in september 1944 werd het gerechtsgebouw geheel verwoest. Een fragment van een van de zuilen werd bewaard als herinnering aan de oorlog en vormt nu het Airborne Monument op het Airborneplein. De diverse onderdelen van justitie zijn de jaren daarna gehuisvest geweest in villa's verspreid over de stad.

Op 9 januari 1959 werd de eerste paal in de grond geheid voor de bouw van het nieuwe paleis van justitie. In juni 1963 werd het gebouw officieel in gebruik genomen. Het gebouw lijkt aan de buitenkant qua vorm en maatvoering op het Huis der Provincie aan de zuidzijde van de Markt, dat niet lang daarvoor gereedgekomen was. Vanwege ruimtegebrek werd een aantal diensten op verschillende locaties aan de andere zijde van de Rijn ondergebracht. Er werd een plan ontwikkeld om naast het paleis een gebouw van een zes verdiepingen hoog te bouwen en het paleis zelf te renoveren. Het vernieuwde complex werd op 10 juni 1998 door toenmalige minister Winnie Sorgdrager in gebruik genomen.

In het paleis van justitie zijn naast de rechtbank ook het gerechtshof, het arrondissementsparket en het ressortsparket gevestigd. Voor het paleis staat het beeldhouwwerk Salomonsoordeel uit 1958 gemaakt door André Schaller. Het was door Schaller gemaakt voor de binnenplaats en stond daarna, tegen zijn zin, op een erg hoge sokkel bij de zijkant van het gebouw. Na een kritische publicatie werd, jaren na de kritiek van Schaller en zijn weduwe, het beeld in 2004 bij de ingang geplaatst.

Militaire Rechtbank
Sinds 1991 is de Militaire Kamer gevestigd in het Paleis van Justitie in Arnhem. Deze meervoudige kamer bestaat uit twee rechters en een opperofficier van Defensie. Leden van de Koninklijke Marechaussee kunnen geen lid worden van de kamer. Deze Militaire Kamer houdt zich alleen bezig met complexe strafzaken; militaire overtredingen en minder complexe strafrechtzaken worden voor een burgerrechter afgehandeld; bij overtredingen door een militaire kantonrechter en bij minder complexe strafrechtzaken door een militaire politierechter.

Jennifer Hudson takes legal action against the media
By rolling | February 14, 2019 | 0
Jennifer Hudson at the GLAMOUR WOMAN of the YEAR AWARDS at Berkeley Square – London – 6th June 2017 (BANG MEDIA)
Jennifer Hudson is fighting to keep her private life away from the media.
The "Voice" coach has filed a motion asking to ban the public from having access to "upcoming child-related legal proceedings" ahead of a trial that is due to take place between herself and former fiance David Otunga, in connection to their nine-year-old son David Jr. next month.
According to The Blast, Hudson filed the motion last month and the wrestler has asked for an extension to respond, insisting the 37-year-old singer will not be prejudiced by giving him more time to submit a response.
The trial is scheduled to take place in Chicago on March 11 and is expected to last for five days.
The former couple will testify and argue over who should pay support and who should get a greater share of custody of their son.
Last year, she filed for an emergency order of protection after accusing the WWE commentator of pushing her while holding David. Though it was granted by the court, the 37-year-old singer later dropped the petition altogether.
