By Valens Quinn
If you're an avid gamer, especially a competitive one, you'll know that a fraction of a second can mean the difference between winning and losing. To stay on top of your game, you'll need a TV that can keep up with you. So what sets a great gaming TV apart from an average one?
Reduce the lag
A great gaming TV won't slow you down. Some TVs can experience 'input lag', which is the amount of time it takes for the video signal from your games system to go through the port it's using to connect to your TV and appear as an image on your screen. A TV that takes more than 50 milliseconds to do this can create a situation where the on-screen action is slightly behind real-time, so when you move the controller to dodge a blast, or duck under cover, your virtual self might not make it! As a rule of thumb, always use your TV's HDMI connector with your games console or PC, as it's designed to be faster than older analogue connectors, and be sure to check the manufacturer's specifications to see if there is a measurement for its input speed, or lag, before you buy.
In addition to how quickly a video signal can pass through the inputs, the speed in which the screen can react, or change colour, is important for gaming. A slow 'pixel response' time, which is measured in milliseconds, means that a screen's pixels can't keep up with objects moving quickly across the screen. This introduces motion blur, along with 'streaks' that trail the edges of objects. Blur detracts from how sharp objects appear when moving on screen, creating a softening, and potentially distracting, effect. To avoid this, make sure that your TV has a pixel response time of 20ms or less.
Games mode
Another tip is to look for a dedicated 'Games Mode' in the list of your TV's features. Games Mode essentially strips away the extra image processing techniques that many modern TVs apply to sharpen up the image. This can include things like adding extra frames to create smoother motion, dynamically adjusting the colour pallet and upscaling the resolution. As these effects take time for the TV to process, they can create milliseconds of delay, so removing them can help ensure the least amount of latency between the games system and the screen.
High fidelity gaming
Modern games consoles are powerful and can deliver incredible virtual playgrounds that are truly a sight to behold. The latest generation PlayStation 4 Pro and XBox One X, for example support games in 4K resolution along with High Dynamic Range (for HDR content), meaning incredible detail, sharpness and high colour fidelity. This is why gamers should look for a 4K TV with HDR to deliver the very best visuals that today's games have to offer. Also, some new TVs can even display HDR with Games Mode switched on, so you don't lose out on the added realism of this feature.
And if you run out of games to play, there's always the option of downloading games directly to your compatible internet-connected Smart TV. There's plenty to choose from, with fun for kids and the whole family. And as many new TVs can connect to compatible Bluetooth accessories including wireless controllers and keyboards, you can drop the remote control and pick up a joystick.
Great! Share

Classics round up
Ana and the Apocalypse
Author: Ed Salkeld
Kids are the worst. French kids are even worse. Environmentalist, precocious, arrogant French kids are worse still.
Laurent Lafitte plays an insufferably stupid supply teacher, drafted in to cover for the previous guy who's autodefenestration has left the elite class without a teacher.
Turns out the elite class are a bunch of creepy, weird, unpleasant nerds who think they're on top of the school. From there things ramp up in familiar fashion – cue midnight telephone calls, weird rituals, secrecy and outright defiance.
I'm still sort of processing what the film really want to say but there's no denying it was an enthralling, unsettling journey from start to finish. Its definitely got some real problems – some of the characters' actions were just not really credible – but it's a joy to watch.

Does it pass the Bechdel test? Does it hell. There's only one female character even mentioned in this film. But… perhaps I should cut it some slack for being utterly fabulous.
A breathtaking tour de force of dialogue, this is full of emotional punches and prejudiced opinions that remain all too relevant today. I'm an absolute sucker for fast paced dialogue heavy films that take place in a small set and this is a perfect example of this kind of film at its finest.
Hitchcock's final silent film and what a film it is! I absolutely love a silent with live accompaniment in the town hall and this was quite possibly the best I've seen.
It has all the Hitchcock hallmarks – murder! Suspense! Famous landmarks! And some truly stunning performances form the lead actors. There's a version recorded with sound but I struggle to imagine Anny Ondra needing any help to be more expressive. She dances from mischief to murder to fear and shame across the film and is captivating throughout.
Plot-wise its not hard to criticise – the main villain is hardly the sharpest tool in the box – but it's such an enjoyable watch that this is mere quibbling. From the endless smoking to the dawn views of Leicester Square, this is a treat from start to finish.

I think it's fair to confess that I'm not particularly knowledgeable about manga at all. That said, a good film is a good film – however good the source from which it's adapted, you still need to turn out a good film.
Inuyashiki is a live action film made from a manga original. I have no idea if the manga is good or not. But I do know the film definitely fell short of its potential.
The premise is about as good as it gets. An old-ish guy and a teenager are both reconstructed by aliens and have to adjust to life with their new technologically advanced bodies (gun arms! Jet packs!). One chooses good. The other evil. Cue fight scenes.
How good does that sound?
And to its credit it does start pretty well. The whole superhero self discovery bit is fantastic. After that though it all sort of tails off. Its far too long for its own good. The middle 45 minutes or so just drag. There's no real exciting story developments between the beginning and the inevitable show down at the end. It's a real shame because if it had been cut a bit more tightly it would have been a lot of fun. As it was, I was getting bored by the end.
A missed opportunity.

Zombie films can be divided broadly into the camps of classic (think timeless, staggering, flesh hungry ghouls who can only be killed by blows to the head), re-imagined (think 28 Days Later rage, and other wanderings from the classic formula) and… Post Shaun of the Dead.
Shaun did a lot for the zombie film. It er… breathed fresh life into what was becoming a tired genre and brought some proper laughs into horror. More than that, it was a zombie film that poked fun at zombie films that was made by people who loved zombie films. And the enthusiasm showed.
Post Shaun, there have been a lot of 'funny' zombie films. Some have been really truly funny. Many have been tired cash ins riding the blood splattered coat tails of what came before. Ana and the Apocalypse is firmly in the former camp. This is a funny film.
A Scottish zombie comedy Christmas musical, no less. And oh so much more than the sum of its parts. The character formula is tried and tested – nerds and jocks alike navigate a path to survival together, discovering something about themselves and each other along the way. We have the missing parent, romantic tensions, loneliness and all the ingredients for a journey of self discovery.
And zombies. And music.
There's no doubt that these filmmakers love their zombie films. The many excruciating and inventive deaths dished out attest to that. They certainly don't hold back on the splatter! More surprising is how well they've managed to incorporate the songs. I'm by no means a fan of a musical but, far from coping with the musical numbers here, I actually enjoyed them! They managed to play the whole utterly absurd film with such a straight face that you couldn't help but smile as another song struck up and more zombies were violently dispatched.
Easily one of the most enjoyable films I've seen in a very long time. Top marks.

Matthew Holness may be best known for the Garth Marenghi's Darkplace but what he's offering here is a long way from comedy.
Possum's story revolves around a disgraced puppeteer's return to his hometown, and the emotional (and physical!) baggage he brings with him. It's not really a story as such, more of a tense psychological episode, as we're invited to wallow in the fear, guilt and regret of Phillip upon his return.
In many ways it's low budget horror by the book here – there are no real surprises or breaking with genre here – but that's no problem: this is a wholehearted deep-dive into horror conventions and comes with all the shocks, suspense and shadows you could hope for.
The actors are superb throughout. Alum Armstrong is spot on in his role as chain smoking, cackling 'Uncle' Morris and Sean Harris is a perfect cast. Better still is the sound: the BBC Radiophonic Workshop have really gone to town on the sound effects here and it ramps up the tension dramatically.
Scary stuff.

Is it still a film if nothing happens on film? The Guilty is tense and exciting but there's not an awful lot to watch.
The entire film takes place inside an emergency call centre, following Asger – the only named character we ever see – over the course of his evening's shift. As the evening progresses, one caller's problem grows to drag Asger – and us – into its details. Perhaps unsurprisingly, there's more to this problem than there first appears. This is essentially a thriller told over the phone, whilst simultaneously a character study of the man on the end of the line.
It's certainly clever. The film makes effective use of what must have been a tiny budget. You really do get gripped by the emotional punch of the crimes unfolding, even though its entirely told by off screen voices. For all that, though, there's no escaping that not a lot happens. And without giving away any of the twists or turns the plot takes, my main problem was that I wasn't more surprised by any of it. If you're going to have quite such a paired back approach to story telling I really do expect the story to take me to somewhere thoroughly unexpected. But it never quite did.
Tense and interesting. But not quite everything it could have been.

Sorry to Bother You was fantastic. What starts as a gently funny story of an Oakland couple just barely scratching out a living in an uncle's garage steadily escalates in weirdness until it hits full blown insanity.
It certainly has a lot to say about capitalism but never veers into lecturing – it's way too busy being absurdly funny for that. Instead, we follow Cashes Green up through the ranks of telemarketing – using his finest "white voice" – as he pursues a growing paycheck at the expense of friends and family.
Sadly, I can't really say anything about the weird bits without giving far too much away. Suffice to say all is not as it seems at the utopian/dystopian world of WorryFree Corp.
I definitely wasn't prepared for this to be as funny as it was – toe curlingly so in some excruciating scenes – but it really hits its mark, balancing between laughter and wincing and still having something serious to say for all of it. No idea what genre it is, but it's great. Highly recommended.

LIFF31: The Best Films
And the Leeds International Film Festival is almost over. Before we emerge from the darkened cinema room, blinking in the crisp November sunshine, its time to hand out this year's awards. The film festival itself has some awards, obviously, but I'm talking about the highly-esteemed, much-coveted, Rum and Popcorn Film Awards. So without further ado, it's time for the Rum and Popcorn 2017 award ceremony!
The 2017 Rum and Popcorn Documentary Award
Brimstone and Glory
Documentary was a mixed bag this year, but Brimstone and Glory and Gaza Surf Club shone through as best in show. While I almost certainly learned more from Gaza Surf Club, Brimstone and Glory was so fabulously cinematic that it just had to claim the prize. Both excellent films.
The 2017 Rum and Popcorn Re-screening Award
An astonishingly strong line-up this year. Volver only narrow beat the likes of The Wages of Fear and Nikita to this prize. It's an absolute joy to watch from start to finish.
The 2017 Rum and Popcorn LIFF Official Selection Award
The strongest of the official selection was Sean Baker's tale of life, struggles and loss in Florida motels. Visually stunning, fantastically cast and absolutely full of joy and life and beauty. And sadness. Superb film-making. Honourable mention here goes to The Stuff of Dreams which was a completely unexpected favourite of mine.
The 2017 Rum and Popcorn LIFF Films of the Festival
The Breadwinner Mutafukaz Canaries
There were a few very near misses – The Bar, Dave Made A Maze and Summer Time Machine Blues were so nearly on this list – but these were each truly fantastic in their own way. Animation had a strong year this time round: The Breadwinner and Mutafukaz are probably at opposite ends of the spectrum in many ways but I was gripped by both from start to finish. Canaries was a much later entry and just shows how great low-budget genre film can be with a little imagination. A stylish, self-contained, clever film.

Even. More. Films.
A few days ago I was writing my summary of the first 20 films of the film festival. Suddenly, we're up to 40! And just as it was a strong first 20, it's been a strong second chapter.
It was followed by Cinema Through the Eye of Magnum, a documentary on the Magnum photography agency's interactions with film over the years. All in all it was just a little too slight. There were some pretty pictures, a few funny anecdotes, but that was it really. Similarly weak as a documentary was Suzanne Ciani : a Life in Waves. It could easily have been subtitled "how one trailblazing, innovative and imaginative woman wasted decades making crummy new age ballads". A whole lot of self-congratulatory patting on the head but not a lot of much interest.
Gaza Surf Club was the first documentary that really lived up to that word. Fantastic stuff. We're taken on a tour of the beaches of Gaza city where Palestinians are riding the waves. Faced with the impossibility of importing surfboards, limited materials and repair skills, social condemnation (especially of the women) and more, they keep doing what they love. It's a touching and illuminating little documentary that crucially refuses to take sides. It never explicitly condemns anyone, which is particularly rare in the charged atmosphere of Israeli-Palestinian affairs!
Equally enthralling, although perhaps slightly less educational was the astonishing Brimstone and Glory. The story of the annual celebrations in the Mexican town of Tultepec – home of the fireworks – its one of the most impressive cinematic spectacles I think I've ever seen. The residents built enormous pylons to which they strap tonnes of fireworks ("castles") and build huge bulls which they – you've guessed it – stuff with fireworks. Then they proceed to wander about, climb the pylons, run with the bulls etc. all while the fireworks explode in all directions. Its terrifying stuff and I never, ever want to visit Tultepec but it's truly astonishing.
There were a lot of strong retrospective screenings in this chapter. The Wages of Fear is a fabulously tense road trip with a truckful of nitroglycerine (only let down by being too long), whilst The Man on the Roof is a film that has no real idea what it wants to be. It starts as a police procedural murder mystery, swiftly abandons that and becomes an action movie that quickly moves from being at least halfway serious to being almost slapstick. It's a weird one.
Diva, Nikita and The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo were all fab to see on the big screen, bringing international conspiracy, espionage action and grisly murder investigations respectively. Elsewhere, El Diputado brought a heady mix of post-Franco Spanish politics, homophobia and communism and The Vanishing contributed kidnapping and some seriously creepy characters. There was a good range to the retrospectives this year – a nice mix of big screen famous and unearthed Euro-thriller gems.
Which brings us, finally, to modern fiction! The Stuff of Dreams was a fantastic retelling of the Tempest on a Sardinian prison island. Simple, focused and beautiful it was one of my surprise favourites of this batch. Following that, Arcadia was an astonishingly beautiful montage of a century of BFI footage of Britain; Under the Tree a truly tragicomic depiction of loss and neighbourly-hatred in Iceland; The Teacher a small-town satire of authoritarian control and corruption in a school classroom. Better still were The Florida Project – Sean Baker's touching tale of life in Florida motels – Bad Genius – an absurdly over-dramatic story of Thai students cheating their way to STIC exam success – and the truly fabulous Summer Time Machine Blues. This ticked every time-travel cliché in the book as it managed to make an expansive, fun and silly film despite being pretty much limited to one room and 6 characters. With heaps time-travel silliness, this doesn't take itself too seriously at all and was a joy to watch.
It would easily have been the best of the fiction if Canaries hadn't dropped in at number 40 to challenge it. Canaries is (mostly) British genre film done right. As with Summer Time Machine Blues they manage to make a little go along way – aside from a few shots in American hotel rooms, pretty much everything here revolves around a handful of people in one house in a small Welsh town. And yet it manages to create the feeling of global threat, of a real disaster taking place that is much bigger than what we see. An absolute gem. I'm very much looking forward to seeing what they do next.
Best five new films:

So. Many. Films.
Oh my. So many films. It was naive to think I stood a chance in keeping up with reviewing these. With hardly any time leftover for essentials like eating and sleeping, there's no way I can write up full reviews of all of these films. I'm 24 films in already, having blogged properly about just 7. Ouch.
So rather than worrying about that, it's probably time to take stock of what I've seen and fast-forward over a handful of things I'm just not going to review. So this is a round-up of the first 20 films I saw of LIFF31 (or LIFF2017 as they seem to insist on calling it this year).
The Square and The Killing of a Sacred Deer got their own write-ups. Veronica, The Bar, Dark Owl Shorts, Cold Skin and The Endless were covered under the Day of the Dead 11 post. Happy End was just OK. So what else?
Leeds United! was a moving tale of the 1970 Leeds clothworkers' strike. Compelling viewing. And then animation day brought a whole slew of wonders. I think Lu Over The Wall (beautiful Japanese tale of kinda-vampiric-kinda-friendly mermaids) and The Breadwinner (Afghani girl earns for her family after her father is imprisoned) each merit their own write-up – watch this space – as they were easily amongst the best things I've seen. Likewise for Mutafukaz (a fast-paced crime-filled action romp through Dark Meat City. In French). Perfect Blue rounded out the day: a thrilling slice of anime crime-drama from the 1990s. The only real disappointment was Big Fish and Begonia which had a lot to like about it (crazy rat lady! dragon spells! crossing between the worlds of life and death!) but never really came together as an interesting film. Even so, animation day was great this year.
And that takes us to 14. Next up was The Lodge – organ accompanied Hitchcock murder thriller in a foggy 20s London (fab stuff). I was less impressed by Gabriel and the Mountain. G&tM follows the (true) story of Gabriel the Brazilian as he explores Africa. It's actually a fantastically put together film. The landscapes are stunning, the scenes of daily life in Tanzania, Kenya and around are fascinating and its filmed sensitively: you never feel like a tourist, and nor does Gabriel. Instead you're invited into people's homes, out on hunts, and to marketplaces. It's only really let down by Gabriel himself being such an utter… twerp that viewing becomes painful. He's unpleasant to his girlfriend, short-tempered, arrogant and egotistical. Ugh. As he puts himself in danger by steadfastly ignoring sensible local knowledge and advice you (I) just stop caring about him.
Next up If I Think Of Germany At Night was a slice of behind the scenes techno documentary. It was a little thin. A handful of talking heads explain why they think their scene is important. A few scenes of techno playing in clubs and festivals. And that's it. It felt a bit of a missed opportunity really: I can't believe anyone watching learnt anything very new from it.
The first 20 was rounded out by a trio of retrospectives. We get classic Fulci giallo Don't Torture a Duckling – child-killing mysteries in a small town. Is it black magic? Or something worse? – bonkers Czech political satire The Party and The Guests – I suspect this could do with another viewing. I think some of the cleverness went over my head a bit – and Almodovar materpiece Volver. It was absolutely stunning to see Volver on the big screen, from a 35mm print no less. The colours, the music! Penelope Cruz and Carmen Maura steal the show but every bit of this film is a treat. Especially Chus Lampreave's bonkers old Tia Paula! This is classic Almodovar, combining social criticisms, Spanish superstitions and family drama to stunning effect.
And that's it. First 20 done.
But what were the best? What's up there as candidates to win one of the uh… much coveted Rum and Popcorn film awards? I figured I'd trim each twenty down a bit. So here's the summary of chapter one:
In no order, best 5 new films:
Mutafukaz
In no order, best 2 old films:

Brad Pitt Opens Up about Christian Upbringing in New Interview
Veronica Neffinger | Thursday, May 4, 2017
#faith
Popular actor Brad Pitt recently did an interview with GQ magazine in which he discusses his Christian upbringing.
The interview includes a photo shoot of the A-list actor in several of America's National Parks, but it also includes a candid conversation with Pitt about his Christian upbringing as well as his decision to quit drinking.
Pitt shares that he grew up in a Christian household: "First Baptist, which is the cleaner, stricter, by-the-book Christianity."
"Then, when I was in high school," he continues, "my folks jumped to a more charismatic movement, which got into speaking in tongues and raising your hands and some goofy-a** sh**."
Relevant magazine notes that, from the way Pitt discusses Christianity, it is clear he hasn't embraced it, but he did acknowledge that the people whom he saw living out their faith truly believed what they were practicing.
"I know they believe it. I know they're releasing something. God, we're complicated. We're complicated creatures."
Pitt also shared that he recently decided to quit drinking. "I had to step away for a minute. And truthfully I could drink a Russian under the table with his own vodka. I was a professional. I was good … Don't want to live that way anymore."
Join us in praying for Brad Pitt and other celebrities who know about Christianity but haven't yet chosen to embrace it for themselves.

WindRock - Is Trump the Next Reagan?
Is Trump the Next Reagan?
Since the election, a newfound optimism about the economy has propelled the U.S. stock market higher. This optimism has led many to compare Trump with Reagan and conclude with similar expectations about economic growth. On the surface, the comparison appears reasonable: both were political outsiders promising to shake up the status quo and both were largely products of worldwide (albeit different) political movements. However, any comparative analysis soon leads to more differences than similarities.
First, Reagan possessed far greater political power and flexibility. The 1980 election was a landslide in his favor: 489 electoral votes to Carter's 49, 51% of the popular vote to Carter's 41%. The election would have been even more lopsided absent the participation of the independent John Anderson who captured almost 7% of the popular vote. Reagan possessed the classic political definition of a mandate, whereas Trump had 2.5 million less votes than Clinton.
It is true that, unlike Reagan, Trump will be working with Republican majorities in both houses of Congress, but it is questionable how beneficial this situation will prove to be. While Reagan represented the conservative wing of the Republican party, Trump is largely an outsider within his own party. Already, congressional Republicans are seeking to mitigate Trump's legislative ambitions. And while Reagan drew the support of many congressional Democrats, Trump is unlikely to gain political defectors in advancing his agenda.
While Reagan inherited a crisis, Trump inherits a crisis in waiting. Until such a crisis manifests itself, we believe Trump will encounter difficulty in enacting any sweeping policies.
For this reason, while the current stock market rally is significant and sharp, it is also coming off of near-record valuations. When Reagan took office, U.S. stocks were unloved and trading at single digit price-to-earnings multiples of 9X versus today's 27X valuation. Under Reagan, stocks were priced for expected economic misery, but falling interest rates and economic growth lead to rising stock valuations. Under Trump, stocks are already priced for perfection despite the likely headwind of increasing interest rates.
Trump may or may not be the next Reagan as it relates to disruptive policies. Either way, investor returns over the next four years are more likely to be impacted by interest rates and valuations, both of which are near extremes.

2 Entitled Dreamers Mad DACA Ended Decide To Get 'Even' With America…But Then Border Patrol Shows Up
As most properly grounded folks realize without needing a reminder, you can't walk around disregarding laws just because you don't care for them.
Such behavior will eventually catch up with you, and you'll find yourself having some time to place things in proper perspective in the confines of a jail cell.
That glaringly obvious piece of wisdom will always be missed by some folks, but there has been an alarming development in regards to the folks that choose to disregard it.
Somewhere along the way, it has become glamorous to disregard federal laws in regards to immigration.
This false narrative is propagated by the mainstream media as the so-called resistance movement that they continue to fawn over, while law-abiding citizens continue to scratch their heads and wonder what the heck is going on.
The biggest example of that comes courtesy of so-called 'sanctuary' places, which basically means that leaders of liberal enclaves will thumb their nose at federal law to prove how downright sensitive they are to the perceived plight of illegal immigrants.
If it's ok for leaders to stand up and blatantly disregard the laws, that means it's perfectly fine for other citizens to do the same, right?
The Daily Caller passes along an example that – thankfully – reaffirms that it is not.
Two beneficiaries of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) were arrested for attempting to smuggle illegal immigrants into the United States, Customs and Border Protection announced Thursday.
The first arrest came on October 4 when Border Patrol agents stopped a car attempting to enter into the U.S.
"After further inspection, Border Patrol agents discovered two adult male subjects concealed in the trunk of the vehicle. An immigration inspection of the two subjects revealed that they were both from the country of Brazil," CBP said in a statement.
"The driver, a juvenile, was identified as a national from the country of Guatemala and a recipient of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) in 2016."
Alright, so illegal border crossings happen all the time. This just means that it's business as usual, right?
To an extent, the answer is yes – but there's a whole lot more to see here.
Then, on October 7, Border Patrol stopped another car also driving in Interstate Highway 35.
"After further inspection, Border Patrol agents discovered one adult male subject concealed in the trunk of the vehicle. An immigration inspection of the subject revealed that he was from the country of Mexico," CBP said.
"[The driver], a juvenile, was identified as a national from the country of Mexico and a recipient of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA). All subjects were processed for removal proceedings."
Those that could care less about the laws of the land will continue to do what they want, and there's not much we can do to completely eradicate that behavior.
However, we can step up enforcement to insure those that disregard our laws are dealt with swiftly.
That's what's been happening since President Donald Trump took office, but that only seems to embolden those who disagree with it.
No matter how much liberal leaders and their cronies in the press want to attempt to glamorize it, the fact remains that this behavior is wrong. Attempts to present it as such are incredibly irresponsible to boot.
Next time you're scratching your head and wondering why a vastly different message about following laws is being presented with a straight face, you can rest assured that those in charge are enforcing them as they are intended to be enforced.

Most of us struggle with investment decisions, whether we are trying to top up our pensions or to help our charities provide resources for forward planning.
In times gone by, Mr Rochester (in the novel Jane Eyre) would use government debt 'consols' as the safe and, for most, only practical investment. The Joint Stock Companies Act 1844 allowed larger numbers of companies to be incorporated - heralding an era when everyone could share in the rewards and risks of investment. Over time we seemed to have more confidence that a reasonable return could be achieved with low risk - but this has not been the case over recent years. So how should a charity decide to invest, and is it worth paying an investment manager?
This is only a broad heads-up and certainly does not cover the position for charities with major funds, an international perspective or a requirement for a long-term strategy; but it covers issues that require thought and care.
Charity trustees have a general power of investment and the power to appoint advisers. However, the Trustee Act 2000 requires those who invest charity funds to exercise a duty of care; and recent experience underlines the need to ensure that the client funds are held separately, that advice is sought from properly qualified people and that managers are sufficiently substantial and regulated to be able to reassure you that all charity and client care investment rules are adhered to.
However, even taking all this into account, some stories - such as the Icelandic financial crisis and the Bernard Madoff 'Ponzi' scheme - show that if it looks too good to be true, it might well be. Common sense and a degree of understanding of the investment strategy is also required.
The Statement of Recommended Practice expects charities that have significant investments to state their policy and objectives and the extent to which they take social, environmental or ethical considerations into account. Helpful guidance, such as the Charity Commission's Charities and Investment Matters: a Guide for Trustees (CC14), is available.
Cash and bonds now offer little income and, since the objective is to maximise returns, one aspect that is getting increasing attention is the level of fees and charges. These can take a big chunk out of the charity's investment income. Despite the changes being forced on the industry, this is still a complex matter. The charges can arise in several ways: as fees from the adviser; as an initial charge; as an annual charge for a collective investment such as fund, unit or trust; or as a dealing charge.
However, an investment house can negotiate a lower charge from funds and can increase the share of actual shares in the portfolio. The difficulty is in assessing the value derived and the overall effect. As an illustration, careful advisers will use funds to lever in expertise when their own knowledge is limited - for instance, investing overseas. Some level of regular review will always pay dividends. There can be an argument for using tracker funds, although these are not necessarily as transparent as they might at first appear.
We should be clear when we might need funds to be made available and the amount of risk we can afford, and the sort of charity I have in mind will invest only in assets that are immediately realisable. Diversification can be achieved in various ways - which can make comparison to a benchmark difficult. But a medium-term perspective of at least three years must be a prerequisite to move away from 'consols' - or the modern equivalent.

Wake sheriff: 6 detention officers lose jobs over fraternization policy
Hayes was convicted last month for her role in the grisly murder of her husband's ex-girlfriend, Laura Ackerson.
Now, Wake County Sheriff Donnie Harrison says one detention officer's inappropriate relationship with Hayes led to the firing of five other officers.
The sheriff says the relationship wasn't criminal in nature but violated policy. An investigation, led the sheriff's office to later look into others inappropriate relationships that happened here at the Wake County Detention Center.
Harrison said testimony from a former inmate during Hayes' murder trial first raised his suspicions. There were accounts that Hayes got special treatment and visits from a detention center officer -- often times when other inmates were on lockdown.
"I was asking, 'Hey, let's look into this,' and then we got an anonymous call. Then we got some information from some other people," said Harrison.
Hayes reportedly had a romantic relationship with detention officer Lt. Linda Hicks. The sheriff only said it wasn't sexual or criminal in nature.
"That was part of some of the information that was given to us that there were conversations between Ms. Hicks and Hayes when she was in prison, not in our jail," said Harrison.
Before an investigation into the relationship could begin this month, the sheriff said Hicks, who was a 16-year veteran, resigned.
Then rumblings of five more detention officers giving inmates extra phone privileges and other non-sexual favors surfaced.
"We found out the other five had nothing to do with the Amanda Hayes case," said Harrison.
Harrison fired the five detention officers for violating a fraternization policy that prohibits the county's roughly 1,000 detention officers to give special favors to inmates.
"I tell every employee this when I hire them, especially the females," said Harrison. "They'll befriend these people and then the inmate will laugh at them when they get terminated."
The sheriff says nothing criminal happened with any of the relationships, and that this should serve as a reminder that inappropriate relationships between detention officers and inmates won't be tolerated.
The five other detention officers fired were:
Annette James, about an eight-year veteran
Shaniqua Robinson, about a two-year veteran
Sheila Banks, about a two-year veteran
Sheree Bates, had been employed less than six months
Lauryn Whittler, had been employed less than six months

I don't know if "insane" is the right word here. This seems like a semi-rational response to someone accidentally knocking a few papers off your desk to me.
Luckily for us now-a-days people's first instinct is to whip out their cell phone cameras rather than intervene.
Nice. That is going everywhere.
Yeah, you can actually see 2 different people capturing this on their cameras.
On the subject of the bystander effect.
What the hell was that stuff? Dang.
Thanks for posting it, but isn't that the same one linked above?
I think he was more pointing out the story and that he dug up an article about it, than linking to the video.

Beijing's Hottest Restaurant Serves Nothing But The Other, Other White Meat-- Penis
China's cuisine is renowned for being "in your face" --
-- from the skinned dogs at food markets to scorpion kebabs in street stalls - and there is no polite way of describing Guolizhuang.
Situated in an elegantly restored house beside Beijing's West Lake, it is China's first speciality penis restaurant.
Here, businessmen and government officials can sample the organs of yaks, donkeys, oxen and even seals. In fact, they have to, since they form part of every dish - except for those containing testicles.
"This is my third visit," said one customer, Liu Qiang. "Of course, there are other restaurants that serve the bian [penis] of individual animals. But this is the first that brings them all together."
Since it set up in November, a booking comes with a trained waitress and a nutritionist to explain the menu and its medicinal virtues.
In China, you are what you eat. Nutritionist Zhu Yan said the clients were mainly men eager to improve their yang, or virility. Women could benefit, too, she added, although she told a female photographer: "I wouldn't recommend the testicles. The testosterone might interfere in fertility. But many women say bian is good for the skin."
I know a lot girls who say that "bian" a couple of times a month helps clear up their acne, so I guess they may be on to something.
Some dishes seem unexceptional, such as the goat penis, sliced, dipped in flour, fried, and served skewered with soy sauce.
Unexceptional, that is, except for the fact you're eating a goat's schlong.
But others are showpieces, such as "Head crowned with a Jade Bracelet" (provided by horses from the western Muslim region of Xinjiang), for $A47, or "Dragon in the Flame of Desire" (yak, steamed whole, fried and flambeed) for $82.
Just the other day I was thought to myself, "You know what would really hit the spot? Buffalo wings. No-- wait. Yak cock."
For beginners, Ms Zhu recommended the hotpot, which offers a sampling of six types of penis, and four of testicle...
I think I had the "hotpot" when I got drunk while pledging Deke. I was in therapy for months.
The Russian dog was first. It was julienned, and rather gamey. The ox was the most recognisable, even though it had been diced. Its texture seemed identical to gristle.
They keep avoiding the word, but I want to be clear: we're talking about cock, here.
The deer [cock] and the Mongolian goat [cock] were surprisingly similar: a little stringy, they had the appearance and feel of overcooked squid tentacles. The Xinjiang horse [cock] and the donkey [cock] looked like bacon, the horse was light and fatty, while the donkey had a firm colour and taste. The testicles were slightly crumbly, and tasted better with lashings of the sesame, soy and chilli dips thoughtfully provided.
Canadian seal penis costs a hefty $517 and requires ordering in advance.
Which, in turn, requires knowing you'll be craving Canadian seal cock in advance. I don't know. That always seems like a spur-of-the-moment impulse buy to me, but maybe that's just my deal.
They don't name the restaurant in the article, but, just a stab in the dark here, I'm guessing "Wang's."
Thanks, I guess, to SWOOD.

Coca-Cola, Budweiser and the Division of America's Psyche
By: Briggs DeLoach Posted on February 19, 2014 December 23, 2014
Remember the Maine." "Remember Pearl Harbor." "Never Forget 9/11." Wait. Come again?
For a nation that prides itself on remembering, it is amazing how quickly and conveniently we forget. Sure, Dec. 7, 1941, is a day that will live in infamy, and 9/11 is a day we will never forget. But there are many other important events and themes that are forgotten by the American public.
This forgetfulness became glaringly obvious during the advertisements of this year's Super Bowl. During a commercial break, Coca-Cola debuted its spot entitled "It's Beautiful," in which individuals of various races and backgrounds are juxtaposed singing "America the Beautiful" in seven different languages. The ad was intended to evoke feelings of unity, patriotism, and, of course, the thirst for an ice cold Coca-Cola.
Yet the one-minute clip's reception was slightly different than the intended outcome. Immediately after the advertisement's airing, some viewers took their opinions to the Twittersphere, asserting that having a patriotic tune sung in multiple languages sounded disrespectful. This outrage spawned a number of new hashtags, including "#SpeakAmerican" and others that included profanity aimed at Coke.
And, no, the hashtag "#SpeakAmerican" was not a joking reference to American patriotism like #Murica. It was a serious quip against Coke's display of multiculturalism.
But wait a minute. This idea of the American multicultural melting pot is not a unique creation of Coke's marketing wing, but a reference to the nation's past, as well as a nod to the true composition of this nation today.
The United States is a nation of immigrants, who also subjugated this continent's actual first inhabitants. We do not, nor did we ever, have an official national language. English is the language of government and commerce, but our lack of an official national language makes us unique. Our history as a melting pot has not always been harmonious, but our diversity forces us to continue progressing toward the ideal of equality and acceptance.
The advertisement put forward by Coke attempted to appeal to our national heritage as immigrants and embrace the new members in our patchwork quilt. Yet just as ideas of acceptance have been ridiculed at in the past, this commercial was met with jingoist and nativist attitudes reminiscent of the eugenics movement of the 1920s. Have we learned nothing since that age of pseudo-science?
In contrast, a Budweiser ad showing the company putting on a homecoming celebration for a soldier received a largely positive Twitter response. Let's examine this advertisement more closely.
Regardless of how one views the political decisions made to deploy troops, supporting the soldiers themselves is a cause that spans party lines. Budweiser seems to have created a non-controversial, feel-good ad that will surely win over ordinary Americans enough to make them switch from Natty Light to Bud when purchasing cheap beer for their high schooler's next Friday night get-together.
Not so fast, my friends.
Herein lies the issue with emotionally-targeted advertising. Budweiser, while it boasts American credentials as sweet as both apple pie and the Midwestern values held dear by its brewers, is not an American company at all.
Come again?
Back in 2008, InBev, a corporation controlled by Belgian and Brazilian brewing giants, bought out the all-American brewery. That sense of patriotism marketed by Budweiser was actually funded by a company from two foreign nations that officially condemned the U.S. military's intervention in Iraq before the beginning of the war in 2003.
But the supporters of the Budweiser ad, which Twitter indicates included numerous opponents of the Coca-Cola ad, did not realize that the patriotic ad was just a show funded by the foreign money of people with non-English first languages looking to pawn off cheap alcohol.
Instead, viewers who tweet seemed to favor a foreign company playing on American patriotism over an American company celebrating the nation's diversity.
It's time to wake up and smell the roses, America. This nation has been in a state of change since its inception and is continuing to change. Newer Americans may not look like you or speak your language, but that doesn't take away from their love for this nation. They, too, want the best for their children. They, too, appreciate the Constitution's freedoms. And they, too, are striving toward the American dream.
While these two beverage ads themselves are insignificant, the lessons learned from their fall out are important. Division in the U.S. goes beyond the gridlock in Washington and encompasses the American psyche itself. As a nation, we must move past emotionalism and toward rationalism, and band together as one to achieve harmony and progress. That will make America truly beautiful.

We are often told to 'recover' from trauma, yet the word 'recover' means to re-cover or to cover up. In this workshop, we are invited to 'heal' trauma. To heal is to discover what virtues and powers are available to shift stuck energy and move into a new empowered sense of safety and personal transformation. A journey from the trauma and into the next step.
Doubt is simply the held energy of beliefs. What happens when you remember that there is Divine light shining behind it trying to get to you? What happens when doubt is cast away for just a moment to give light a way in? The answer is transformation.
Theme: When you let the "Divine to shine anyways" doubt is transformed to courage.
Group Healing: Shedding doubt and transforming it to courageous empowered light.
Open the gates to your inner sanctuary and step into a world of awakened wisdoms that speak through the aspects of your sacred anatomy. Did you know that your bones hold the stories of your ancestors or that your knees are the temple of your joy? Working with the map of the body gives us a pathway to healing and transformation.
Theme: Be captivated by the teaching of how you became the gift that you are. Be reunited with the love, beauty, and healing that speaks through your body.
Group Healing: Befriending the Spiritual affirmations of your sacred anatomy.
Finding the courage to speak your needs in a healthcare system that narrowly listens.
Open the gates to your inner sanctuary and step into a world of awakened wisdoms. From this place, you meet, speak, and demand care from your seven primary dimensions: your body, your emotions, your thoughts, how you contribute heart-fully to the world; your creative voice; your deep dreams; and your connection to Spirit.
Theme: Learn what to say and how to speak through your Bill of Rights on behalf of your rights to Divine Whole-Person Care.
Moving in and out of the various energies of the demands of the workplace is supported by new thought and the practice of using your own energy system to be more productive and creative. Balancing this 'at work wisdom' are learned resources and easy ritual for strengthening the boundary between work and home, thus keeping work at work…and the space of the home sacred.
Theme: Self-care and boundaries are essential practices to cultivate healthy work-life balance.
Group Healing: Guided meditation to clear and balance energy, self-care technique to reinforce strong sense of self and boundaries for meetings and co-creative environments, and a beautiful returning and reigniting of your inner creative self.
