Alpha in finance is shrinking continuously as investors are getting better at analysing returns. When a fund manager beat his benchmark 30 years ago, investors likely attributed this to skill. Today a large portion of the outperformance can be explained by exposure to certain factors like Value or Momentum.
The concept of analysing fund manager returns can also be applied to single stocks, which allows investors to decompose stock returns into contributions from certain factors. As with fund managers, not all stock returns can be explained as some companies intrinsically create while others destroy value. Investors can create portfolios by ranking stocks by their alpha generation, speculating that companies with high alphas will continue to generate positive unexplained returns while stocks with low alphas will continue to produce negative unexplained returns. In this short research note we will analyse Alpha Momentum, which is sometimes referred to as Idiosyncratic or Residual Momentum, and contrast the strategy with Price Momentum.
We focus on the Alpha and Price Momentum factors in the US, Europe and Japan. Alpha is defined as the residual between the stock return and the sum of all factor contributions to the stock returns. The factors used to explain stock returns are the market, Value, Size, Momentum, Low Volatility, Quality, Growth and Dividend Yield. The factor contributions are derived via a regression analysis with a two-year lookback and monthly factor data. Price Momentum is based on the absolute stock performance over the last 12 months, excluding the most recent month. The Alpha and Price Momentum factors are created via a long-short beta-neutral portfolios based on the top and bottom 10% stocks in the US, Europe and Japan. Only stocks with a market capitalisation of larger than $1 billion are included. Portfolios are rebalanced monthly and each transaction incurs costs of 10 basis points.
Amazon (AMZN), the online retailer, generated a return of close to 70% over the last 12 months. The return can be partially contributed to the market, which had also a positive performance, and exposure to certain factors. However, a large part of Amazon's performance is unexplained and can be considered alpha or idiosyncratic return. The analysis below highlights the stock return, factor contributions and alpha generated over the last 12 months. Naturally other factors such as sector classification, interest rates or currencies could be included, which would provide additional information and further reduce the alpha.
In contrast to Amazon, Snap (SNAP), the camera company, generated a significant amount of negative alpha over the last 12 months. The Alpha Momentum portfolio would therefore include Amazon in the long portfolio and Snap in the short portfolio.
The chart below compares the performance of Alpha and Price Momentum in the US from 2002 to 2018. We can observe similar trends, but a slightly reduced Momentum crash in 2009 and a less volatile performance by the Alpha Momentum factor. It is not necessarily intuitive that these profiles are so similar, given Alpha Momentum is derived from a regression analysis that includes Price Momentum as a factor and may seem a rather abstract concept altogether. However, the portfolio is created by buying the stocks with the highest alpha and short the stocks with the lowest alpha, which often represents the stocks with highest and lowest total returns.
The performance of Alpha and Price Momentum from 2002 has been much more attractive in Europe than the US. The chart below highlights that Alpha Momentum has generated a more consistent and less volatile performance than Price Momentum in Europe. It is worth highlighting that Alpha Momentum does not exhibit a momentum crash in 2009, albeit it also lacks the strongly positive performance of Price Momentum from 2005 to 2008.
The performance of Alpha and Price Momentum in Japan has been almost zero since 2000. Price Momentum generated strong returns heading into the Global Financial Crisis in 2007, but then crashed thereafter. The performance of Alpha Momentum is not particular attractive, but less volatile than Price Momentum.
In addition to observing the performance we can also analyse the returns per annum and maximum drawdowns. Alpha Momentum generated positive returns in all three regions while Price Momentum was only positive in Europe. The analysis highlights that Alpha Momentum reduces the drawdowns of Price Momentum by almost 50%.
The risk-return ratios highlight that since 20000 Momentum has only been an attractive factor in Europe. However, Alpha Momentum improves the ratios in the US and Japan and can be considered an improvement compared to Price Momentum.
This short research note highlights that stock alpha, similar to stock returns, can be used to predict the direction of stock returns, at least if measured over a one-year horizon. Alpha Momentum can be considered an attractive alternative to Price Momentum as performance and risk metrics improve. However, from a computational perspective Alpha Momentum is much more complex to derive than Price Momentum, which likely implies a larger difference between theoretical and realised returns. It would also be interesting to analyse if stock alpha measured on shorter time frames can be used for a short-term Mean Reversion strategy, which is a topic for another research note.
Readers interested in further exploring Alpha Momentum, sometimes also referred to as Residual or Idiosyncratic Momentum, can review additional research here, summarised by Quantpedia.

Q: JFrames painting over eachother I'm working with JFrames in java to make a GUI. I'm having a problem where my 2 JFrames are painting over eachother though.
public VidbergGUI() throws ClassNotFoundException, InstantiationException, IllegalAccessException, UnsupportedLookAndFeelException {
    super("Automatic Output Verifier");
    UIManager.setLookAndFeel(UIManager.getSystemLookAndFeelClassName());
    setBounds(100, 100, 600, 400);
    setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
    Container con = this.getContentPane();
    con.add(titlePane);

    titlePane.setLayout(new BoxLayout(titlePane, BoxLayout.PAGE_AXIS));
    componentPane.setLayout(new BoxLayout(componentPane, BoxLayout.LINE_AXIS));

    programsLoaded = new JTable(data, columnNames) {
        @Override
        public boolean isCellEditable(int row, int col) {
            if (col == 3) return false;
            return true;
        }
    };
    programsLoaded.getColumnModel().getColumn(2).setCellEditor(new FileChooserEditor());

    tableHolder = new JScrollPane(programsLoaded);

    titleLabel.setFont(new Font("Ariel", Font.BOLD, 28));

    addButton.setSize(40, 40);
    removeButton.setSize(40, 40);

    titlePane.add(titleLabel, BorderLayout.PAGE_START);
    con.add(componentPane);
    componentPane.add(tableHolder, BorderLayout.LINE_END);
    componentPane.add(addButton, BorderLayout.EAST);
    componentPane.add(removeButton, BorderLayout.EAST);
    setVisible(true); // make frame visible
}

With this setup, only the componentPane is visible. If I comment out con.add(componentPane), only the titlePane is visible. Is there a way I can assign some sort of layout so the 2 frames stack vertically?

A: You do understand that BorderLayout can only layout a single component in each of it's 5 available slots?  Probably not...
Create a third JPanel and add titlePane and componentPane to it and then add this to the CENTER position of the BorderLayout
You could use a GridLayout or GridBagLayout for this panel...
JPanel centerPane = new JPanel(new GridLayout(2, 1));
centerPane.add(titlePane);
centerPane.add(componentPane);
con.add(centerPane);

Or just add titlePane to the NORTH position...
con.add(titlePane, BorderLayout.NORTH);

Use Holiday Scents to Encourage Consumers to Spend More!
With the holiday season upon us, many retail stores are facing the inevitable drop-off of in-store traffic in favor of online shopping. Factor in the constant struggle to differentiate one's brand from the competition, and the increasing focus on crafting an outstanding in-store shopping experience begins to make more sense.
To distinguish their in-store experience from the competition, many retailers are placing great weight on the use of experiential marketing tactics, such as the application of branded music and holiday scent marketing. Science has long proven the use of scent to be effective in influencing customer purchasing behavior and driving increased sales.
Advertising gurus and marketing maestros have peered into your psyche and they know how to make you buy. And buy. And buy more. And every year, when shopping season arrives, they pull out every tool in their arsenal. One that you may not notice, because it flies under the radar, is how companies control the sensory environment in their spaces. Scent marketing is being chosen to make you feel happy and put you in the mood to spend on what they're selling — and it really works!
It's beginning to smell a lot like Christmas.
One reason more and more retailers are turning to holiday scents is to help elicit that nostalgic feeling. Scenting is more subtle than sound. Often, patrons don't even consciously perceive scents. Yet, smell can evoke nostalgic feelings even more powerfully than other ambient elements.
A smell can bypass the conscious mind to elicit memories and strong emotions unconsciously. It can reach back in time to immediately bring back some of the oldest, and most nostalgic, memories from our childhoods. In fact, research indicates that odor evoked memories can be experienced as more emotional than memories elicited by other senses. That means they have an even bigger impact than the sound of Jingle Bells or the sight of those cheery Christmas lights.
This holiday season the right smell will help you sell.
Smell influences our moods and emotions and makes us feel nostalgic. This is something referred to as Proustian memory effect. The intensity of the memory that has been evoked by a certain aromas will become a motivational factor in that individual's behavior, and in a retail environment that will affect the way in which they spend with your brand.
INCREASE FOOTFALL by enticing customers into your store. Research has found that 74% of consumers have been drawn into a store because of an inviting smell.
INCREASE DWELL TIME – encouraging more time spent in-store and a better likelihood of making a purchase. During the 2015 Christmas period, when consumers were asked about their experience of nostalgic festive scents, 50% of people agreed that a familiar Christmas smell would encourage them to stay longer in a shop.
INFLUENCE IMPULSE PURCHASES – by creating an experience that inspires consumers to buy. 70% of people act impulsively due to smell.
ENCOURAGE POSITIVE EVALUATIONS – Nurturing positive association with your brand, leading to loyalty and referrals. According to the Scent Marketing Institute, it can increase positive product evaluations by 25%.
The right scents are good for consumers.
So, what scents should be used during the holidays? You probably don't need science to tell you that the smells of evergreen trees, peppermint, gingerbread, pumpkin, cider and spices are high contenders. Although several smells remind us of holidays, cinnamon tops the list according to one study.
Eliciting nostalgia isn't the only benefit to providing a scented holiday environment. Many of these smells have positive cognitive effects. One study shows that pine may lower hostility and depression and improve your mood. And both peppermint and cinnamon have been shown to decrease fatigue and frustration—something we can all use during the crowded holiday shopping season.
Fortunately for retailers, the science behind scent marketing isn't just academic — major retailers like Nike found that scent marketing in retail stores "increased intent to purchase by 80%." In another real-world scent marketing experiment, the smell of fresh-brewed coffee at a gas station increased coffee sales by 300%. And lastly, a study that analyzed the spending of 400 shoppers over 18 days in a home-decorations store with scnet marketing and it showed that people spent 20% more.
Not only will scent marketing help you create an immersive brand experience, but there's enough evidence that scents can help positively influence consumer behavior in retail spaces, and there are enough low-cost/low-risk solutions that there's no reason not to start experimenting with scent marketing.
Not sure what scent you want to try, or how to get started with scent marketing? Contact Scentsational Impressions and discover why profits never smelled better.

One crash just north of the California border and another in Medford were causing issues on Wednesday afternoon.
JOSEPHINE COUNTY, Ore. —
UPDATE: All lanes are now open on both U.S. 199 (Redwood Highway) and OR 62 (Crater Lake Highway) following two separate crashes on Wednesday afternoon, according to the Oregon Department of Transportation.
(Updated 8/21/19 at 3 p.m.)
INITIAL REPORT: Fire, medical and traffic crews are busy with two crashes between Josephine County and the Medford area on Wednesday afternoon.
U.S. 199 (Redwood Highway) was blocked due to a single-vehicle rollover crash just north of the Californi border, according to the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT). Medical crews and deputies from the Josephine County Sheriff's office were on-scene, with troopers and ODOT crews on the way.
"Expect delays," ODOT said. "Motorists urged to use caution driving on rain-slick roadways."
By 2:45 p.m., the agency reported that one lane had been opened to traffic.
"Single lane is open. Watch for flaggers and expect short delay," ODOT said. "Continue to slow down and drive with caution on rain slick roadways."
Meanwhile, a crash at the top of the I-5 Exit 30 northbound ramp at Highway 62 in Medford snarled eastbound traffic on the highway and at the I-5 off-ramp. ODOT said to expect delays and congestion in the area.
Medford police and fire crews were on the scene, with ODOT on the way.
By 2:40 p.m., ODOT said that the eastbound slow lane and shoulder of Hwy 62 remained closed for recovery, but all other lanes were open. Traffic remained backed up on the southbound I-5 off-ramp onto the freeway.

2018 was a bumper year for a diverse range new ACTF content, curriculum resources, professional development, student webinars and school participation in ACTF events and competitions.
Amongst the diverse range of new content made available to primary and secondary was the Lah-Lah's Adventures: F-2 Music for Everyone Resource, the International Day of the Girl Collection of short films and the beautiful animated series of refugee stories depicted in Woven Threads.
The 'International Day of the Girl Collection' features four short films that explore pivotal and challenging moments in the lives of 12-year old girls. These include: First Day, A Field Guide to Being a 12-Year Old Girl, The Funny Ones and Summer's Day.
Providing students and teachers with access to the creative talent behind our series and films is a high priority for the ACTF.
This year we enjoyed having students from around the country join with the cast of Mustangs FC in March to learn about the series, acting and the importance of diversity and representation.
Our popular Comedy Scriptwriting Workshops run in partnership with the Australian Centre for the Moving Image (ACMI) provided budding scriptwriters with the knowledge and expertise to develop their own comedy skits.
Tina and Mark Harris, the lead creatives from Lah-Lah's Adventures, walked, sang and danced F-2 students and their teachers through a number of the Lah-Lah's Adventures: F-2 Music for Everyone activities as part of their lively and fun webinar in October.
The ACTF Education team were overwhelmed by the response to the 2018 My Place Competition from Years 3-6 primary students around Australia.
As over 900 short stories about a 2018 My Place character started flooding in from every part of the country, we realised the stories provided us with a unique window into the creativity, passions, concerns and diversity of the young writers.
It also reinforced just how loved My Place is. With its ground-breaking blend of history and imaginative fiction written by Nadia Wheatley and illustrated by Donna Rawlins, My Place continues to inspire personal stories in primary classrooms. It also illustrated how the video clips and resources from the acclaimed My Place television series (available on the My Place for Teachers website) continue to be an embedded part of teacher practice in primary classrooms Australia-wide.
The 2018 Little Lunch App Competition proved to be the most successful so far in terms of both number and quality of entries from around the country.
Students clearly spent time crafting their Little Lunch stories, honing their iPad filming skills and rehearsing their performances for the camera. It was clear that entries were a collaborative effort and reflected a good deal of thought put into developing strong narratives and characters.
Heidi Arena (Mrs Gonsha in the Little Lunch TV Series) had the unenviable task of selecting the final winners from the impressive shortlist.
Ensuring teachers, academics, subject associations and pre-service teachers are aware of the breadth of ACTF education resources is an important part of the Education team's role.
The ACTF is always looking for ways to support teachers, subject associations and pre-service teachers. Feel free to contact us if you would like to discuss how we could support you, your school or organisation.
On behalf of the ACTF Education team, I would like to wish everyone a happy and safe Christmas and a very prosperous New Year. Look out for some exciting announcements from the ACTF in 2019.
Peter Maggs is the Head of Education at the ACTF. Peter's main role has been to empower teachers and children to become innovative, creative and collaborative digital participants.

Since it is not likely that you will need to use their services for many many years, you will want to make sure that they will be around when it's needed. A strong reputable company who has been in the business for a long time is the safest choice.
Ensure that whole of life cover you disclosure any job or extracurricular activity that might be thought of as high risk. Your premium will be higher, but if the insurance carrier figures out you didn't disclose material facts, they may deny a claim if you croak in the course of doing a high risk job or extreme sport. Not only would you be dropped by your insurer, but failure to disclose relevant information is fraudulent.

Examine the deceased's canceled checks for any that were written to insurance companies. Look through any mail you can find for insurance bills or policy status notices. Check with former employers or organizations that the deceased belonged to which may have offered the policy. Look at tax returns for expenses or interest earned in regard to life insurance. Finally, check with the Medical Information Bureau, which has a database that can inform you if the medical records of the deceased were requested by any insurance companies since 1996.
Before you purchase a life insurance policy, you should look at that policy for thirty days before you purchase it. You have thirty days to look expensive life cover at a policy for free before making a decision. You should study it to make sure you understand it. If you do not like the policy during this time period, you can cancel it, and your premium will be reimbursed to you.

North Korea says it has no plans for talks with US
North Korea on Saturday revealed that it has no immediate plans to resume nuclear negotiations with the United States unless Washington discards that which it describes as"aggressive" polices toward Pyongyang.
The announcement by North Korean Vice Foreign Minister Choe Son Hui came after President Donald Trump's former national security advisor, John Bolton, told colleagues that Trump might seek out a second summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un within an "October surprise" before the U.S. presidential elections.
Kim and Trump have met three times as embarking in their high-stakes nuclear diplomacy at 2018, but discussions have faltered because their next summit in February a season in Vietnam, in which the Americans refused North Korean requirements for significant sanctions relief in exchange for a partial collapse of its own nuclear capacity.
Kim entered 2023 vowing to strengthen his nuclear deterrent accountable for "gangster-like" U.S. sanctions and stress.
White House and other countries confirm the true nature of the Chinese Communist Party
Choe's announcement followed a collection of similar declarations from the North it wouldn't more present Trump with high profile meetings that he would boast of because his foreign policy accomplishments unless it receives something considerable in return.
"Can it be feasible to hold dialog or have some deals with the US which continues from the hostile policy toward the DPRK accountable for those arrangements already made in the last summit"
"we don't feel any desire to sit with all the U.S., since it doesn't think about the DPRK-U.S. conversation as simply an instrument for grappling its political catastrophe," she explained.
Some analysts think North Korea would prevent considerable discussions with the United States at least before the November presidential election because there's an opportunity U.S. leadership might change.
Facebook removes hundreds of accounts of anti-US network Boogaloo
The North lately also has been awakened pressure from South Korea, blowing an inter-Korean liaison office in its own land and threatening to leave a bilateral military agreement aimed toward decrease tensions.
It follows weeks of frustration within Seoul's unwillingness to withstand U.S.-led sanctions and resume joint economic projects that could breathe life to the North's busted market.

Q: How to watch a DVD from only files off the DVD A while ago I copied a DVD from disk to my hard drive.  Instead of doing an image copy and writing an .iso file, it copied the file structure from the disk to a folder on my HDD.  That folder contains AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS folders, exactly as they appear if I open an actual disk in Windows Explorer to view files.  How can I watch this movie without writing the files to a new disk?  If I have to write a new disk, how do I ensure the disk is playable as a DVD, and doesn't just emerge a file system data disk?

A: VLC will allow you to open the directory and treat it as the filesystem normally found on a DVD (since that's what it is).

A: The KMPlayer is another choice that you can use to watch the .vob files that were created from the dvd copy.

THE MYTH SAYS
THE HISTORY IS
GOD ASCLEPIUS
Lentas: a small village that is situated in the south coast of the prefecture of Heraklion, Crete. It is known as a peaceful place for its visitors, with a wild scenery and its healing waters. Lentas is permanently inhabited for over 5.000 years and there are archaeological signs and traces of that era, dating from the neolithic age. During the Hellenistic and Roman era, it was used as a harbor of ancient Gortys.
Also in the 4th century B.C. a sacred temple of Asclepius was built there, according to the rules and the rituals that the central temple of Epidavros had imposed. In the temple of Asclepius, there was a statue of Asclepius, responsible for the healing of diseases and a statue of Ygeia, who was said to be his daughter: she ensured the preservation of good health as well as the prevention from diseases. Ygeia was considered as the goddess of whatever was believed to be pure.

If you don't run, get a tinto de verano instead.
Regret No. 1 was not spending more time on the beach. It was definitely beach weather when I was there in September, but we just didn't get the chance to do much more than dip our toes in. The beach was popping when we went midday, so for the best pictures and experience sans other humans, go right at or just after sunrise.
Meandering through La Rambla is fun! It's a big pedestrian street (there are two car lanes on each side, but the walkway never breaks for car traffic) with shops and restaurants on each side and carts along the middle. The trees around are extra pretty too.
La Boqueria, which is right in the middle of Las Ramblas but just off the street, tucked away (but you can't miss it — follow the people), is allegedly open at 8 am. I'd wait until 10 am or so and do a brunch thing. We went straight from the train station to our hostel to La Boqueria, so we were STARVED. We ate everything: Chocolates, fried seafood, ham and cheese, empanadas, fresh juices. I highly recommend getting some of the juices. It's either 1 or 2 euros, and they MEAN fresh. Also the candy stations are addictive. You will spend a lot of money on it. It's inevitable.
Gaudi is, like, THE ONLY Barcelona architect I'm pretty sure, and all his works are sprinkled throughout the city. I planned this, rather elaborate and long, walking tour to see some of the big things. While I also split this over two days, it is possible to do it all at once. It'll be a few miles, so I definitely recommend taking a cab after (or even in place of some of the longer stretches).
La Sagrada Familia. Get reservations (just pick the earliest one you can get — it gets crazy). I also recommend an audio guide. I didn't get one, but I just sat in on the video inside to hear the history. Basically, this massive church was originally designed by an architect (non-Gaudi, they exist!), and then Gaudi took over (of course he did). The cathedral is still under contstruction (almost 150 years later) and won't be completed until 2030.
Casa Milà and Casa Batlló. You don't really need to go into these. It's mainly their outdoor architectural design that I enjoyed! Milà is also known as La Pedrera (the stone quarry, based on its resemblance to a quarry) and is the headquarters to the foundation with the same name. Balló is actually kind of cool inside, but tickets are pricey.
Pitstop at El Jardi, a close-by cafe. The park is another place you gotta get a reservation for. Give yourself plenty of time to get there, like I said, it's a long walk. So, when you get there with PLENTY of time before your Park Güell reservation time, you can hang out at this close cafe. We had some small bites, but overwhelmingly the pizza with ham was the best thing we ate. We also got goblets of Sangria Cava, which is essentially mimosas, we learned. After your meal, if you still have time to kill, walk around the free part of the park. It's quite a hike, but the view is so worth it.
Park Güell. This was the Gaudi visit that needed a ticket, but you GOTTA get them ahead of time. We… didn't. When we concluded our Gaudi walking tour at around 1 at the park, the next opening was at 6 pm. WTF. So we went to El Jardi, which was a gem, but we had a lot of time to kill. That's also when we wandered around the free parts of the park. When we FINALLY got in, we spent less than an hour there. We walked around and saw all the different aspects of the park, and learned a lot! The park was supposed to be a village of houses for Barcelona's ultra rich. The paid part of the park was going to be the village center where there would be markets and performances. Gaudi only built a couple houses and the park before he gave up the project. More here!
We had tried unnecessarily hard to have paella in Spain. It's on every corner, but we never found a place when it was a meal time and paella is heavy! Enter Arume. Known for great tapas (small plates), we started strong with 4ish of those. Then: PAELLA. We hesitated to get the Paella because, like I said, it's everywhere and this fancy restaurant had good food that WASN'T everywhere. In the end, we decided that if we waited this long for Paella, better make it AMAZING. Spoiler: it was.
Stop for gelato on your way to the Magic Fountain, which isn't too far from Arume. It's free and amazing. Bring a bottle of wine. Stand close for a bit to get some good pictures, then find a spot further away to sit and watch. The show is timed to music and is spectacular.
Ever been to an ice bar on the beach? No? I can't say no any more. Our second night in Barcelona, we went with our hostel group out. For 10 euros, we got a drink and to freeze for like 30 minutes. I actually went back in for a second go. It's COLD y'all, but so fun and worth it. Then, we went to a discoteca on the beach. Both were fun. Not as wild as you'd imagine! The places we went both had terraces with chiller music and vibes.

ALL-WIN LEADERSHIP

AMBASSADORSHIP
LESSON #1: RISE ABOVE MANIPULATION
ONE NATION CHAPTER MEETINGS
Four Pillars of All-Win Leadership:
Think, Speak & Act Your Truth
Seek Alternative Perspectives
Inquire Holistically
Create All-Win Solutions
Frame Up:
These (above) are our four pillars of All-Win leadership. In today's leadership development training segment we are going to focus on the first pillar, helping you to think, speak, and act for yourself, and lead others to do the same.
Activation:
What are the first images or words that come to your mind hearing the word "manipulation"?
Share a few words each, if inspired.
Today, we are going to explore tactics and methods of manipulation as we experience and enact them. The goal is that by the end of the session we will have revealed to ourselves new ways of understanding and rising above manipulation.
Terms and Distinctions: (5 min)
Manipulate: to skillfully manage others to one's own advantage
Psychological manipulation is a type of social influence that aims to change the behavior or perception of others, using indirect, deceptive, or underhanded tactics that undermine the choice and sovereignty of the manipulated, while advancing the interests of the manipulator.
Influence: the neutral capacity to have an effect on people
Social influence may be used positively, negatively, or neutrally. Here, it includes a respect for the rights and sovereignty of the influenced to accept or reject persuasion.
Inspire: to fill with high emotion in alignment with personal and greater good/expression
Inspiration describes when the capacity to affect others results in an expansion of life-affirming possibility and creativity.
Note: We all have the capacity to manipulate, influence, and inspire. This is not about pointing fingers at "the bad guys" who manipulate, but recognizing where we have all enacted and experienced manipulation so that we can develop greater presence and autonomy in connection with ourselves and others.
Inquiry Opening: (2 Min)
As citizens and members of OneNation, we must rise above manipulation. We cannot offer our leadership to the world if our own thoughts and feelings are controlled by others to their benefit. Similarly, we cannot expect others to rise into their full sovereign power if we perpetuate our own manipulative tactics for our gain.
The goal is for us to become more resilient against manipulation and more earnest in not manipulating others, whether consciously or unconsciously. By rising above manipulation, we can all think, speak and act for ourselves. We must do this in order to offer our authentic and unique leadership in action.
Content Warning:
This lesson is designed to help us cultivate the capacity to be in difficult conversations that may trigger painful emotions. Everyone is encouraged to take responsibility for their present experience, if that means pausing to breathe or taking a break. Please, tend to your needs.
Facilitated Conversation: (12-15 Min)
What are ways that you have experienced manipulation, both as manipulator and manipulated? Consider personal relationships, broadcast media, politicians, advertising, etc.
Embodied Experience: (15 Mins)
Participants pick one of these manipulation tactics to act out, then share with the group the official name and formal definition. Or, think of a specific real-life example.
False Dilemma, a.k.a. All-or-Nothing Fallacy: When an argument is presented as a choice between two extremes when other possibilities exist.
Ex. You are either with me or you're against me.
Appeal to Fear, a.k.a. Fear-Mongering: When fear, not evidence or reason, is used as the primary motivator to get others to accept an idea, proposition, or conclusion. May sound like a threat.
Ex. If you don't accept X as true, then something terrible will happen to you or something you care about. Therefore, you should behave as though X is true.
Distraction: A non-sequitur that changes the focus of the conversation as a way of avoiding the conversation.
Ex. This is a difficult conversation. Let's talk about the weather.
Ex. This is a difficult conversation. What about this other difficult conversation?

When it comes to building distributed systems, one of the most important patterns is the message broker. But what's a message broker?
A message broker is an architectural pattern for message validation, message transformation and message routing. It mediates communication amongst applications, minimizing the mutual awareness that applications should have of each other in order to be able to exchange messages, effectively implementing decoupling.
The practical utility of this construct has been proven in many distributed systems over the years. Within the context of Windows Azure, this pattern is extremely useful for posting messages from within your Web Role implementation to perform some asynchronous work at a later time. Often, this is done to keep the user interface responsive. Other times, this is used just to delay some processing to another time.
A simple but easy-to-understand example of this pattern is sending notification emails upon a key event to a user interacting with your website.
Let's imagine that a user has just placed an order on your e-commerce site. We want to send the user an email thanking them for their order but we don't want this operation to slow down their actual shopping cart experience. In this case, a small message would be quickly written to a queue from the Web Role and the user's web experience will continue unimpeded. A Worker Role instance would monitor the queue for a unit of work (a message) and fulfill the ultimate goal of sending the user a thank-you email. The message would then be removed from the queue. Windows Azure manages the queue so that the message is only available to one Worker Role instance at a time.
As you can see, this pattern effectively creates complete independence between the Web Role and the Worker Role as long as the agreement/interface of the message is maintained. This pattern is an effective tool in building flexible loosely-coupled systems in Windows Azure.


Abstract: There has been considerable amount of attention rendered to claims reserving methods over the last few decades in actuarial science. The commonly used method of estimating claims reserves is the chain ladder technique. The underlying principle of the chain-ladder technique is that no underlying pattern to the run-o , and that each development year should be allocated a separate parameter. Applicable to a wide range of data, the chain ladder could alternatively be condemned for having too many parameters and also assumptions have to be used to estimate reserves beyond the latest development year already observed. This research seeks to explain an approach to model the development of claims run-o , using reversible jump Markov Chain Monte Carlo (RJMCMC) method. The study uses claims data from a renowed Insurance Company in Ghana; Win- BUGS the tool used in simulating the reversible jump Markov Chain Monte Carlo (RJMCMC) method. The Bayesian methods are found to be better than the Over-dispersed Poisson model with lower predictive errors.

What Information Should You Send To Potential Clients?
In previous posts, I covered the problem most firm websites have and how to convert potential clients who visit your website. Today, I'm going to cover how to create a lead magnet and what to send these potential clients once they've signed up for your list.
The first thing you'll send a subscriber is the lead magnet you already promised them.
One common misconception about lead magnets is they have to be long, like a research study or ebook. Nothing could be further from the truth.
People don't always want another ebook they won't have time to read (and you won't have time to write). A one-page checklist or list of tips will work just fine.
This is one of the primary lead magnets for helpeverybodyeveryday.com.
This was originally a PowerPoint slide our firm President presented at a lunch and learn. Sitting in the presentation, I knew the information was so useful I had to do something with it.
But Matt, my architects/engineers aren't experts. They're not thought leaders. Heck, they've never even been published.
So how could I possibly get useful content to send clients?!?
Yes, all those things might be true. But getting content is not as difficult as it appears. I've already provided you an easy tactic I use to get content from my technical staff.
Always be on the lookout for that slide someone presents or that thing you overheard someone say that would make a great one-page lead magnet or blog post/email.
Let's say someone has signed up on your website and you've sent them your lead magnet. Now what?!? How often should you send them information?
Here's my personal take. You should send them an email at least once a month, but no more than twice a week.
How I do this is by setting up a firm blog and scheduling a post to show up once per month.
Then I set up a RSS campaign in Mailchimp to deliver that blog post (in its entirety) to my subscribers. Here's a quick primer on setting up a RSS campaign in Mailchimp.
Let's tackle this one because it's a counterintuitive concept (at least to some people).
Only send subscribers useful information. Don't send them your firm's stupid newsletter.
I've ranted about firm newsletters in the past. So, I won't spend too much time on this.
Does it sound sane to send your clients emails about how great you are?
Man, if I sent my subscribers an email that went into detail about my qualifications and the recent success I've had…you folks would unsubscribe so fast my head would spin.
So what makes it OK to send clients that drivel?
If you are going to capture contact information and send out emails, they better consist of really useful information.
Ultimately, your reputation will be based on what you teach…not what you tell.
Later this week, I'll cover the tool I use to tie this all together and invite you to a special webinar on September 30th where you can see it in action.

The Women's Loan Fund was created to empower women to turn their ideas into reality and unlock new opportunities for creating a better life for themselves, their families and ultimately, their communities.
Women bear the burden of poverty in the UK, 92% of all single parent families are headed by the mum. For many, benefits make up their only income - self employment is often the only solution to financial independence but accessing credit to start their own business is understandably difficult due to banks reluctance to lend to more marginal clients. Only 1 in 5 UK businesses are owned by a woman. Everyone deserves to work in a way that provides for their family and provides personal well being.
Providing microfinance to the marginalised with strong business plans or existing businesses, helping not only them, but others in to employment.
Moreover, women often have responsibilities that make traditional employment difficult, especially if under zero-hours contracts. Many women are also carers for elderly, sick or disabled family members. Our loan fund and business mentoring will enable women to start their own business and become financially independent.
To alleviate poverty through work, while improving people's confidence and self-esteem.
» Frederick's provides affordable loans to emerging entrepreneurs turned down by the banks.
» Client Managers and mentors work closely with clients to make sure their businesses are successful.
» Use referral partners (other charities working with these communities & advisory agencies) to make contact with people looking for help and support.
We will track the numbers of applicants and successful beneficiaries that we are reaching through our own stats and those of facebook and partners plus self cert.
» Manage the fund so that the funds raised do not disappear but continue to grow under good management so we can help increasing numbers of people.
We will manage our loan book appropriately and show growth from both fundraising, protecting the fund and of course repayments.
For individuals we will measure the change in their socio-economic status and their personal wellbeing through self declaration (questionnaires) and through our volunteer mentors feedback.
We are also conscious that even when the proposed business does not succeed, we help people through our system of hand up, not hand out and we track a positive number of people entering employment using the skills and new found confidence achieved.
The main risk is the people will not pay back the loans. Fredericks conducts a thorough application and interview process to make sure that potential clients have a good business plan and understand the difficulties of starting their own business. Client Managers and mentors work closely with the clients to make sure they have support in the formative years of the business.

Canada is one big family. Our farmers and fishers feed us well. As a family member, we're inviting YOU to a national reunion wherever you are, celebrating Food Day Canada's 15th anniversary of cooking and eating and sharing. The summer harvest is in full swing! Saturday August 4th – Food Day Canada IS the day that we can celebrate our magnificent northern bounty from coast to coast to coast.
Call to Action: Canadians, both chefs and home cooks, are invited to join forces with us as we throw a national barbecue… a testiment for All that Canada IS food and the world is richer for it.
Wow us with your menus and your images. Add the #FoodDayCanada and you'll instantly be part of the national party. Grill like there's nobody watching!
When the borders were closed in 2003 to beef exports, whole communities were devastated. It was a farming disaster. BUT it was not a culinary one. We named it the World's Longest Barbecue and the Call to Action was to grill Canadian beef anywhere in the world at 6 p.m. ET on the Saturday of the August's long weekend. On that Saturday a decade and a half ago, Canadians responded and barbecued Canadian beef with wild abandon. Since it's early beginning, Food Day Canada has been on the leading edge of promoting and celebrating the outstanding ingredients of our nation and the people involved in putting such deliciousness onto our plates.
Now the borders have reopened and Canadian agriculture flourishes. However the current political and economic temper of our times is becoming more and more uncertain. Our nation's food security is being threatened both directly and indirectly. The good news is that, since it's inception, Food Day Canada has grown exponentially and become a very real and respected force for good in the food life of Canada. We are the innovators, the educators and the trendsetters. Several hundred carefully chosen chefs from across the nation have also become our brand advocates, chefs who are on the vanguard of Canadian culinary excellence and care deeply about Canadian regional cuisine. Each year their numbers change – around 200 so far for 2018. They range from fine dining restaurants to casual places that are populated by the 'it' crowd right through to a few Quick Service Restaurants.
To get you started, watch Breakfast Television Toronto Aug 2 at 8:15 a.m. ET with Food Day Canada's leader and master-mind, Anita Stewart, featuring an all-Canadian recipe: http://fooddaycanada.ca/recipes/peppery-spiced-steak-with-southwestern-ontario-summer-saute/.
Website details here, and don't forget to post using the hashtag #FoodDayCanada.

Junior Cricket
Our junior cricket section caters for young cricketers from under-9 to under-15.
Fun is a major motivator for children to play cricket. Our coaches are urged to not only focus on the winning of matches, but to develop a love of the game through the fun and excitement of competing. Villagers value the holistic development of children, and measure success on whether children choose to continue to play cricket the next season.
This approach is used to develop junior skills and align it with Villagers' senior structures to prepare them for the different roles within a team environment and the different playing strategies. Some of the players that excelled through Villagers' junior structures are Aiden Markram, Hardus Viljoen and Chris Morris.
Ladies Cricket
Ladies' cricket is thriving at Villagers and fits perfectly into our family club culture. We are one of the few clubs in the country that has created an environment specifically for the development of lady cricketers. This provides us with a large player base which creates opportunities at all levels, with numerous Titans and SA players. We encourage all sisters, wives and girlfriends of the gentlemen playing cricket to become part of the Villagers Ladies cricket program. The past stigma of ladies playing cricket are long gone, and today the modern lady cricketer has as much opportunities in the world of cricket as any other women's sport. For Villagers Cricket Club, the profile of female cricket players is equal to males, and is comparable to ladies in sports like hockey, tennis and golf.

Our senior gentlemen section consists of five (5) teams of which four (4) are in the top three (3) leagues. Our teams compete well with regular league victories.
Team selections are managed by the selection committee and is based on statistics and a fair opportunity structure. All the senior teams are open and form part of a pipeline system that feeds into the Premier league team that competes at the highest level of club cricket.
Social cricket is welcome at the IVCC. To enter a closed team an application needs to be submitted to the committee for consideration. There are many social leagues that integrates with the NCU, most notably T20 leagues that take place from January to March every year. Villagers always look at opportunities to expand the love of the game, and initiatives that will benefit the club and its community will always be taken into consideration.
The Villager's Code
We as players at Irene Villagers Cricket Club commit ourselves to upholding the values of the club. We know it is a privilege and not a rite to play on fields where many a great cricket player has trodden before. We are competitive, but fair, on the field of play, while maintaining the traditions and spirit of cricket. Never to bring the game into disrepute by playing outside the rules Never to undermine our parents, team, coaches or management Never to humiliate any teammate or opposing player, but rather to encourage, support and strive towards a common goal. Always to compete to make our parents, ourselves and our teammates proud Always to be a team player and put others first while still competing to the best of our abilities. To show character amidst adversity. Being a Villager is not only being a cricket player It is striving to be a better person in your community, to be happy with yourself, then to work hard and see the results Only when one is really happy with your inner self can true success follow. This is the Villager way
Cricket in the Village dates as far back as the early 1900's when one of our fields, The Oval, situated in the heart of Irene suburb, was created to play cricket against the Concentration Camp inmates.
Over time The Oval was transformed into a recreational space for the purposes of developing and playing cricket, and in 1965 Irene Villagers Cricket Club was established.
In 1967 Villagers Cricket formed a partnership with Irene Country Club (ICC) to provide the surrounding families and communities with a larger choice of sport to choose from. A new home field, the ICC Oval, situated at the Irene Country Club, was built and is now rated as one of the best club field facilities available in the NCU, hosting numerous academies and international team practices and matches.

BEST MEDICINE: These are some of the comedians who left the large audience with tears of laughter rolling down their cheeks during the comedy show at the ICC Arena in Durban on Saturday night. Pic. THULI DLAMINI. 05/31/2009. © Sowetan.
LEGENDARY accordion player Vusi Ximba dazzled the ICC Arena in Durban during the hilarious 99 percent Zulu comedy show on Saturday.
Ximba, who had running battles with the SABC's Ukhozi FM in the past, had an opportunity to perform his tongue-in-cheek songs.
Some of his songs had been banned on Ukhozi FM because of his use of "indecent language".
The house went wild on Saturday and people laughed their lungs out listening to his songs.
Though he looked happy and enjoyed the response from the audience, Ximba has not been in a studio for years due to poor health.
Sfiso Nene of So You Think You're Funny fame shared the stage with Cape Town's Marc Lottering and Siyabonga Radebe, the multi-talented comedian and actor who featured in drama series such as A Place Called Home and Bay of Plenty.
Others who kept the audience laughing nonstop were Ndumiso Lindi, Celeste Ntuli and Sne Mkhize.
Most comedians at the show made jokes mainly about resident, Jacob Zuma and his wives; the R1million gift that construction companies gave to Transport Minister Sibusiso Ndebele; and about Western Cape Premier Helen Zille.
As usual, Nene made jokes about taxi drivers by suggesting that doctors should consider asking for the assistance of taxi drivers in their protests since taxi drivers knew better how to engage in protest action. Taxi drivers would know what to say when presenting the memorandum on behalf of the doctors.
Nene once came under fire when taxi organisations forced him to apologise for making a joke on Ukhozi FM about some of the clothing brands that taxi drivers wore.


If the infusion of walking directions in Google Maps interests you, and you don't mind the privacy concerns voiced about Google's Street View, and you happen to have a Web-enabled mobile phone on hand, you may be glad to know Google Maps for Mobile is now newly improved with both these features.
As logic would have it, walking directions and Street View compliment each another well. For city residents, walking directions can naturally give you a less circuitous route to your intended destination. Google's engine isn't always the best utility to devise pedestrian ways with efficiency in mind, but it's bound to improve. Street View, in turn, allows you to see where it is your chosen path will lead. On a map that otherwise continuously sports a bird's-eye view, the inclusion of ground-level roadside captures is pretty much a no-brainer. Bound together, they make for a supremely attractive couple.
Of course, there are only so many Google users who employ their phones to interact with the Web giant's search services, and even fewer that can enhance their small-screen experience with the advent of Street View. But the pool will only expand with time, as more people in the US, Australia, Japan, the UK, and beyond see Google's cameras, controversy and all, make their way through their neighborhoods. For travelers navigating foreign terrain, today's enhancements are similarly purposeful.
If your phone is Java-enabled or is a member of the BlackBerry family, the latest version of Google Maps for Mobile is available for download. Just point your browser, mobile- or desktop-based, to 'http://www.google.com/gmm'. Google mentions it is developing the updated service for "other platforms," too, but no word on when other flavors will emerge. The iPhone owners of the world, particularly those with 3G on board, will certainly be wanting for a refresh having observed this two-part debut. And the eyes eager for Android must be an extra bit gleeful as well.
