As Investors Shift Housing Is The New Stock Market
All it took was a historic crash that created an epic opportunity: Housing has morphed from a form of shelter to one of the most popular tradable assets, thanks to a huge influx of institutional investors in a mammoth, albeit decreasing, supply of distressed properties. That is why it should come as no surprise the housing market is now nearly as volatile as the stock market. "We've seen more volatility in real estate in the past five years than we have in the past 500," said Glenn Kelman, CEO of Redfin, an online real estate sales company. Nothing proved that better than news last week that sales of newly built homes had plunged over 13 percent month-to-month in July while another report showed healthy gains in sales of existing homes in July. Suddenly, bulls became bears, and blame poured from every blog. Rising mortgage rates, sagging confidence, tight credit, tight supply, even bad weather made the long list of woes, but one stood out in particular—investors pulling out of the housing market. "We definitely see the investor market cooling early in the season," noted Kelman. "You had Wall Street at some point becoming frustrated because you just couldn't buy in bulk the kinds of inventory they'd been able to get in 2012, 2011, and so those investors started to pull back." Investors made up just 16 percent of home buyers nationally in July, according to the National Association of Realtors, compared with 22 percent in February and 25 percent at the beginning of 2009. During the worst of the foreclosure crisis, in some of the hardest hit markets, investors had made up more than half of all buyers. Large funds like Colony Capital, Blackstone and Waypoint bought thousands of properties, and drove prices higher, faster than most expected. Now they are focusing on filling those houses with renters. "What you're seeing in housing overall is a bit of a pause as the market digests what's happening" said Colony's Justin Chang. "We are in the early days of a long recovery." Chang contends that buying has actually gotten more attractive for larger firms because smaller investors are moving away from housing, lessening the competition. "We are moving ahead on all fronts," he added. Colony postponed its initial public offering last spring after real estate investment trusts (REITs) suffered on news that the Federal Reserve would begin tapering its asset purchases. Interest rates rose just on the prospect. Another large-scale investor, Aaron Edelheit, CEO of Atlanta-based The American Home, has a different take on the slowdown in investor demand. "Last year, the amount of institutional investors activity exploded. What you're seeing now is the natural digestion of that exponential growth. That means maybe a slowdown in how many home they acquire, it may mean letting go employees in areas where it doesn't make sense." These investors are moving their focus from acquisition to profitability, hoping to show Wall Street that the business model is not only feasible but highly profitable. The American Home now boasts 2,500 homes in Atlanta; Nashville, Tenn.; Orlando and Tampa, Fla.; and Charlotte, N.C. Edelheit said rental demand is tremendous, and management is working well, but the model is still too green for the larger investment community. "You look at the stock prices of the companies that are public, and it's pretty clear that Wall Street remains unconvinced in the single family rental model, and I think it's natural for these firms to start right sizing and make sure that they are profitable." That could mean consolidation, with some of the larger firms that have stronger management structures buying up smaller players. Large-scale investors are still a relatively small segment of the 14 million single family rental market, but it appears they are here to stay, despite the recent volatility. Smaller investors, however, may be moving on, having exhausted their cash and their credit opportunities. Last spring, Redfin was running seminars for small "armchair" investors on how to buy and manage single family rentals. The classrooms were packed. "There was a surge because people read the papers—in March, April, there was a bull market in housing. Suddenly at every cocktail party somebody wanted to make a killing in real estate," Kelman said. "Some wanted to ride the wave, but some just caught it late." —By CNBC's Diana Olick.

Days before the Marathon I collected my bib number at the Marathon Expo and amongst all the fit athletes there I felt like a fraud. I'd done almost no training and knew, no doubt about it, I could not run the whole event. My longest training run was a half-marathon distance which I could just barely manage. Yet, I had faith that I would get to the finish line. I trusted in my many years of experience running marathons and knew that the excitement of the event can work wonders. Sunday, November 5, 2006, I headed out to the start line.
I wore a t-shirt I had made that honors Schatzi, my sister Celia's aged Dachshund out in California. I recently learned that, sadly, Schatzi has turned blind and for some reason I wanted to take Schatzi out for a run (figuratively speaking). At 25 pounds over my former marathoning weight and way out of shape I expected to struggle through the second half of the marathon, yet I also felt remarkably calm, relaxed and happy. I looked forward to having some fun.


This work presents a framework for the study of the physical conditions in astrophysical plasma elements through linear and circular, radio and optical polarization monitoring. The term "framework" is meant to describe the self-consistent character of the work which contains all necessary elements to: 1. Design and conduct high-cadence, multi-frequency polarimetric observations. 2. Reconstruct the Stokes 4-vector of the observed radiation with high accuracy. 3. Interpret polarimetric observations based on the theoretical predictions of several emission, absorption and propagation effects which can generate, modify, or eliminate the Stokes parameters of the radiation. 4. Reproduce the observed characteristics in the complete Stokes parameters set using a radiative transfer code we developed on the basis of the model of Hughes et al. (1989, ApJ, 341, 54). The development of the machinery of this framework was based on data obtained within the F-GAMMA monitoring program. Our polarimetric methodology eliminates a number of sources of uncertainty and is directly applicable to radio telescopes equipped with circularly polarized feeds. Using this methodology we recovered the polarization characteristics for a sample of 87 AGNs at 4 bands: 2.64, 4.85, 8.35 and 10.45 GHz. Our analysis focuses on observations conducted with the 100-m Effelsberg telescope between July 2010 and January 2015 with a mean cadence of 1.6 months. We used these datasets to characterize the observed sample in terms of linear and circular radio polarization. The computed polarization parameters were subsequently used as the basis for the computation of the magnetic field strength of those jets and the rotation measure which is attributed to the low energy magnetized plasma located in regions where the radiation is emitted or propagated through. The theoretical predictions for the emission, absorption and propagation of radiation were used to perform a thorough correlation analysis between several observed characteristics in order to investigate the physical conditions of the emitting plasma elements. Multi-frequency, high cadence observations are essential in the study of the pronounced variability these sources usually show. This variability was found to follow repeating patterns in the Fν–ν domain for many sources, a prototype of which is the blazar 3C454.3. In many cases, these patterns agree with the predictions of the "shock-in-jet" model (Marscher and Gear, 1985, ApJ, 298, 114) which attributes them to the evolution of physical conditions at shocked regions as they propagate downstream the jet. Our results showed coordinated changes of the polarization characteristics which mark the transitions between the optically thick and thin regimes of synchrotron emission. Assuming that these transitions are due to the optical depth evolution of the propagated shocks, we used our radiative transfer code to emulate them and reproduce the variability observed in all Stokes parameters in the case of the prototype source 3C 454.3. We followed the strict requirement to reproduce this variability just by evolving the physical characteristics of the emitting region according to the predictions of the "shock-in-jet" model. This approach resulted in a number of estimates for the physical conditions of this jet, like its particle number density, magnetic field coherence length and Doppler factor. Finally, we characterized our sample in terms of optical linear polarization using the data obtained with the RoboPol monitoring program between May 2013 and July 2015. The comparison of those partially simultaneous, radio and optical polarization datasets did not show any correlation between the two bands, suggesting that the physical conditions at the two emission sites are different. We detected 60 EVPA rotation events in the examined radio bands, that occurred in 22 sources of our sample, 6 of which have also shown such events in the optical wavelengths. Assuming that these rotations are caused by the helical motion of emission elements propagating downstream the jet, we used the rotation rates and the linear polarization degree measurements in both the radio and optical bands to compare the (tangential) velocities and hence the kinetic energies of those emission elements while they are propagating through the radio and optical emission sites in the jet. This thesis is structured as follows; In Chapter 1 we give a brief overview of the AGN structure and the theoretical predictions for the polarization properties necessary throughout the rest of the thesis. In Chapters 2 and 3 we describe the machinery of our framework used to extract and calibrate all the Stokes parameters for radio telescopes equipped with circularly polarized feeds. In Chapter 4 we characterize the linear and circular radio polarization properties of our sample of AGNs. Those are later used to calculate other physical parameters at the emission or propagation regions and to perform a correlation analysis investigating the underlying physical mechanisms. In Chapter 5 we describe our radiative transfer code and its application on the radio polarimetric data of 3C 454.3 to reproduce the observed variability and extract a number of its physical parameters. In Chapter 6 we characterize the optical polarization properties of our sample, correlate them with the ones found in the radio bands and use the combined information to compare the physical conditions in the two emission sites in the jet. Finally, in Chapter 7, we summarize the results and conclusions reached throughout this thesis.


In today�s ultra competitive money driven business world many companies compromise quality for profit margins, this statement is especially true in the audio component industry. They figure most people sparsely use an audio component for a couple of years then replace it. Lets face their goal is to get a few hundred bucks from us every couple of years, they could care less about what happens to their products after they are sold.
McIntosh Labs is the complete opposite of this ideology; they create an audio component with the idea that this is something that you will cherish the rest of your life. This is not just a groundless claim; the fact is 80% of the McIntosh components produced since 1949 are still in use today, no other audio component manufacture can make this claim. The exceptional longevity of McIntosh products owes to a design philosophy established with the very first McIntosh amp: that every component will be created with capacity so great that it will never be operated at or near its stress point. From the initial design process all the way to the shipping department, they take painstaking efforts to ensure that every McIntosh component is �perfect�. Since the late 40�s this rare philosophy has been the driving force behind this exemplary company and it has certainly been the reason why so many people love McIntosh components.
The McIntosh C2300 preamplifier was introduced in 2002 and is still a current product in McIntosh�s line today. It was built to replace the popular C2200. McIntosh kept everything that made the c2200 so well liked and added a host of new and innovative features and functions.
The C2300�s design is rooted deeply into McIntosh�s most famous designs of yesteryear, yet with a modern twist and a level of technological ingenuity that can only be described as revolutionary. The preamp is truly significant in that it ties together the past and the future in perfect harmony. McIntosh engineers managed to walk a very fine line, preserving the magical tube sound that forged their reputation while addressing the weaknesses that were previously considered inherent with tubedcomponents. Imagine the liveliness, full-bodied tone and unmatched sweetness of the 12AX7, without sacrificing transient response or subtle sonic details. An accomplishment that very few can lay claim too. Moreover, what is truly amazing is how well the C2300 manages a wide range of source components, whether vintage or modern, without degrading this signal purity in the least.

Q: The nesting problem with "+=" (javascript) Why is the result of JS -3?
a in JS does not seem to change with subsequent assignments
c:
int a=3;
a+=a-=a*a;

result:
a=-12;

js:
var a=3;
a+=a-=a*a;

result:
a=-3;

A: C and JavaScript have different rules to handle such expressions.
Clang (and probably also GCC and other C compilers) triggers a warning:
1.c:5:7: warning: unsequenced modification and access to 'a' [-Wunsequenced]
  a+=a-=a*a;
   ~~ ^
1 warning generated.

In plain English this says that one of the read operations will not get the initial value of a but the current value of a at the moment when that operation is executed.
The statement above is executed the same way as:
a-=a*a;
a+=a;

This is why the result in C is -12 but it could be -3 as well.

Avoid writing such expressions. Even when there is no ambiguity about how they are evaluated, they are difficult to read and understand by other developers. One of the other developers is an older version of you. The code is written once but it is read many times. Let the code be easy to read an understand.

What Is "THE Key" to Asset Management Success?
There are many factors that go into developing and maintaining a successful business enterprise. If you were asked, though, what is the single greatest key to business success, what would you say?
It is often said that trust is the hardest thing to gain, but the easiest to lose. The experiences of many fund management companies over the past few years are testament to that.
The unexpected fund blow-ups, malpractice and lack of transparency exposed since the 2007-08 financial crisis have left some big industry players wondering how they can regain the high standing they once had among investors and advisers, which they had taken years to build up.
For the past four years, the Financial Times has conducted research into the image of US fund managers among financial advisers, seeking to find out what the most important attributes are for a strong reputation, and how to achieve them.
The latest survey – conducted last September – sought the opinions of 397 US financial advisers, the majority of whom are subscribers to Ignites.
The results are conclusive: the key to a strong reputation among intermediaries is trustworthiness.
No surprise there. This simple virtue of trust is priceless. Recall that a few weeks back I highlighted the anemic levels of trust that most Americans hold in our banks, our television media, and our politicians. Trust is not some base commodity that one can purchase in an open market. Trust takes years to develop and can be lost in a heartbeat. What are the top five actions investors would like to see asset management firms undertake to build and maintain trust?
The FT research shows that while advisers view performance as a key measure of reputation, they will forgive under performance if it is not unexpected and the asset manager has been open and transparent.
How much trust do you have in your financial advisors?
How much do you trust our major banks, media, and politicians?
Once, twice, thrice times burned, four, five, six times shy, no?

Bloomberg BNA webinar: "Insurance Companies' Acquisition or Chartering of Banks – Is It Time?"
Why combine banks and insurance companies now?
The advantage of a banking charter are: low-cost funding; fee-based income; asset flexibility; prudent maturity-transformational options; wealth management opportunities; and cross-marketing. Banks seeking acquisition will find new buyers and better pricing through understanding these benefits.
Why fear the Federal Reserve?
The Federal Reserve's final capital rules may not require insurance companies to greatly increase capital. For insurance companies that are not SIFIs (systemically important financial institutions), i.e. all but the largest firms, Federal Reserve supervision and regulation may not be too costly and burdensome. On the other hand, there are prohibitions on certain affiliate transactions, and Fed supervision can be intrusive throughout the organization, and the new capital ratios may still be too costly.
The FDIC may start approving FDIC insurance applications again for de novo banks, which provide another option for insurance companies to enter the banking business. Approval may also be given for limited purpose banks that limit their activities to one or a few banking functions, such as lending.
Insurance company execs; corporate development professionals; investment bankers; buy-side analysts; in-house and outside counsel.

Borovets is the oldest winter resort in Bulgaria. It's history begins in 1896 when the first villa was built here. Soon after, the first residence of the Bulgarian monarch – Tsarska Bistritsa was also built. Created as hunting grounds for the royal family Borovets eventually became a modern ski-resort while preserving its fascinating nature. The resort is located at the foot of the Bakkans' highest peak – Musala and is surrounded by the evergreen forests of Rila Mountain. The resort's name comes from the Bulgarian word "Bor" meaning pine.
Heli-skiing for the daring, sleigh rides for the romantics, guided hikes for the naturalists.
Our partnership with ski-club "Chamkoria" guarantees the property owners in Grand Borovets, the possibility to enroll their children in professional courses for beginners.
The ski season begins in November and the mountains are covered in snow until May and in case of unfavorable weather, the resort is equipped with snow guns that are able to maintain the ski tracks in excellent condition.. Guests can enjoy 60 km of slope - a total of 18 different runs- the longest being 12 km. Skiers can choose between 14 different lifts, from baby tows to gondolas of total length of over 14 000m. The highest skiing point is located at 2550m above sea level. The cableway gives access to a breathtaking view of the surrounding peaks, Mt. Moussala, Mt. Malka, Moussala, Mt. Irichek, Mt. Deno, Mt. Aleko, and a huge selection of runs.
Borovets offers excellent conditions for skiing, night skiing, snowboarding, cross-country skiing, ski-jumps, biathlon, ski-doo and a half pipe for snowboarders. The excellent facilities at the resort attract various winter sports competitions and Borovets has hosted the Alpine Skiing World Cup twice as well as the World Biathlon Championship.
Tourism in Borovets does not end with the melting of the snow. Sportsmen can get outside year round, taking trips to the Seven Lakes and hiking through the old growth forests of the National Park.
During the summer the resort is open for tennis players and for those who like equestrian sports, horseback riding is also available. In addition, Belchin Banya – a famous spa centre is located only 25 km from Borovets.
Bulgaria is a fascinating combination of the sunny and warm Black sea shore and the magnificent snowy mountain peaks. While exploring the country one can can find evidence of its ancient culture – fortresses, monasteries, roman roads, Thracian tombs, gold and silver treasures.
One can discover Bulgaria through its culture – different rituals, traditional crafts, music and dances that remain part of the Bulgarian customs to this day.
The land of the mystical Orpheus, Bulgaria is an ancient crossroad – where the East and West meet, where traditional and modern intertwine in one, while culture and customs have been preserved until today.
Our guests are deeply impressed by the quality of Bulgarian cuisine, of its variety and incredible taste. Plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables, juicy meats, spicy meals, banitsa (cheese pastry) that melts in your mouth and Bulgaria's famous yoghurt.

Britney Spears Celebrates 35th Birthday With Nostalgic Performance in Los Angeles -- See the Adorable Pics!
The pop princess turned 35 on Friday, celebrating the special day with a show stopping performance at 102.7 KIIS FM's Jingle Ball at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.
Proving age is nothing but a number, Spears showed off her incredibly fit figure in a lacy white crop top with feathered sleeves, black booty shorts, fishnet tights and thigh-high boots.
Her blond tresses were pulled back into her iconic pigtails from her "…Baby, One More Time" video, taking fans on a nostalgic journey as she performed classic hits like "Stronger," "I'm A Slave 4 ," "(You Drive Me) Crazy," and "Toxic."
The birthday girl also belted out tunes from her latest album, Glory, even bringing R&B singer Tinashe on stage to sing their catchy "Slumber Party" track live for the first time.
At one point in the show, host Ryan Seacrest surprised Spears with a three-tiered cake, featuring a giant "B" on top, as her dancers and the crowd sang "Happy Birthday."
"Thank you for the sweet birthday wishes!" Spears later wrote on Instagram. "Had an amazing day. Love you all."
ET's Katie Krause was backstage at the festive fête, catching up with Seacrest moments before the big surprise.
"I may have something up my sleeve for her on stage when we get out there," he teased. "It's her birthday, so when you have a birthday, you have to get something with your birthday. It's one of the two things -- a present or a cake."
"It's not a present, it is a cake, but don't tell her!" he added. "I'm going to try and get the whole place to sing, but shh. If she come [backstage], dont tell her."
Earlier in the day, Spears' friends and family took to Instagram to send the blond beauty well wishes.
Her younger sister, Jamie Lynn Spears, shared a sweet throwback pic, simply captioning it, "Happy Birthday to my big sister. Love you very much."
Paris Hilton also opted for an older photo, captioning hers, "Happy Birthday @BritneySpears. Sending you lots of love, happiness & well wishes beautiful #BirthdayGirl!"
See more star-studded birthday messages below.
Happy birthday, @AaronRodgers12, @CharliePuth and @BritneySpears! I love you like a brother, a nephew, and a pop diva superstar icon.


According to the divorce proceedings, Hunter Biden, the son of former Vice President Joe Biden, cheated on his wife, took drugs, and even slept with prostitutes.
Just last week, it was revealed that Hunter was in a relationship with Hallie Biden, the widow of his deceased brother Beau Biden.
Hunter and Kathleen have been separated since July 2015, and CBS News reported that Kathleen claimed Hunter squandered the couple's money on drugs, alcohol and prostitutes since then.
Kathleen filed for divorce in December last year. In a court filing last week, she asked a judge to order Hunter to stop spending the couple's remaining assets.
"Throughout the parties' separation, Mr. Biden has created financial concerns for the family by spending extravagantly on his own interests (including drugs, alcohol, prostitutes, strip clubs, and gifts for women with whom he has sexual relations) while leaving the family with no funds to pay legitimate bills," wrote Kathleen's attorney, Rebekah Sullivan.
His ex-wife alleges that Hunter "maxed out available cash advances" and spent nearly $122,000 in just two months. Due to Hunter's behavior, the family now owes $300,000 in taxes and have a double mortgage on their home.
In 2014, Hunter was discharged from the Navy after he tested positive for cocaine. In 2015, his name appeared on Ashley Madison, an online dating website for married people.

Corvinus raised its point limits further
Corvinus admitted 2,809 students for the 2020-2021 academic year, down 20 percent from last year, with only the best admitted. For economic programmes, the point limit was 427 points.
The Corvinus University of Budapest (hereinafter: 'Corvinus') once again admitted the best performing students for the new academic year. It is not good that a significant part of talented high school students go abroad to study, said the Rector of the University András Lánczi, in a backroom meeting. He added that there is nothing wrong with someone studying abroad, but "let no one go abroad out of sheer snobbery." Regarding the point limits, the rector said: instead of last year's 3,500, this year 2,800 students were admitted, they did not want to lower the point limits, they tried to raise them for every programme. "We admitted 20 percent fewer students to Corvinus this year, but that is our decision" - he added.
"We are looking to provide elite training, and that is not a secret goal of ours" - stated the President of Corvinus Anthony Radev. In one year, we hired 44 new teachers and increased the wages of the teachers by 25 percent, with the current number of teachers at the institution being 480-500. In connection with the budget of the university, it is already budgeting with HUF 20 billion this year, a year earlier the budget of the higher education institution operating in the form of a foundation was HUF 16-17 billion.
"Five years ago, in 2016, 111,000 people applied to Corvinus, and this year 91,400 applications were submitted" - stated the University's Deputy Rector Lajos György Szabó. This year, 8 percent of those applying to higher education wanted to study at the university, a proportion that has been stagnant for years. In the 2020-2021 academic year, 80 percent of BSc students can study for free as Corvinus scholarship holders, with one-third of the students foreign. The Deputy Rector added that the most popular programmes were international studies, international business, and communication and media studies.
"Last year, the amount of the scholarship at the university was HUF 12,000, this year it is HUF 70,000, being a typical area where we implemented changes" - said the Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Maecenas Universitatis Corvini Foundation, Zsolt Hernádi, adding that good academic results are expected and that students compete for scholarship places.

The History of Charles University
In the spring of 1998 the fourth and final volume of a comprehensive history of Charles University will be published. The History of Charles University IV (1918-1990), to be published by the Carolinum - Charles University Press (and printed by the Prague Calamarus Press) is the joint work of staff of the Institute for the History of CU and CU archives and other members of various CU faculties under the editorial leadership of PhDr. Zdenek Pousta. Thematically the book, containing both a synthetic overview and specialized chapters, deals with the most recent period in the history of Charles University, i.e. the period from the establishment of the Czechoslovak Republic in 1918 to November, 1989. It even devotes some attention to events in 1990. It is 444 pages long, contains more than 200 photographs and includes accounts of rectors, pro-rectors, deans and pro-deans of the period as well as data on student numbers. There is also a special chapter devoted to the reconstruction of the Carolinum and renewal of other historic CU buildings. The publication of the fourth and also the largest volume of the History of Charles University is the culmination of the efforts of the university to construct a detailed picture of its own past.

THE LEGACY OF ANCIENT EGYPT
Many years of research experience and the results of their own archaeological work in Egypt form the basis for a major, original work by Miroslav Verner (leader of the authorial collective), Ladislav Bares, Bretislav Vachala and Milan Zemina, all of the Czech Egyptological Institute at Charles University. The Illustrated Encyclopaedia of Ancient Egypt is a unique achievement in international literature of its kind and provides a concise view of the history of Egypt from the end of praehistory, when the foundations for the gradual formation of the pharaonic state were gradually laid, to the conquest of the country by Alexander of Macedon and the rule of the Ptolemies. A separate chapter is devoted to the gradual rediscovery of the forgotten legacy of Ancient Egypt, the emergence and history of Egyptology and its tasks today. The main part of the book consists in more than 950 entries relating to political conditions, the economy, religion, language and script, literature, art, important figures and events, and archaeological sites. The exquisitely produced book contains more than 600 illustrations - colour and black-and-white photographs (by Milan Zemina), ink drawings, diagrams and maps. Its aim is not just to provide a visual record and accompanying information, but above all to present the unique character of Ancient Egyptian art.
The Illustrated Encyclopaedia of Ancient Egypt is published on the occasion of the 650th anniversary of the founding of Charles University.

On World Haemophilia Day, Jens Oltrogge reviews the progress made in treating this rare disorder, which causes those with the disease to bleed because of a lack of sufficient clotting factor.
Today is an important time to raise awareness about bleeding disorders and support the people living with them. As a veteran of the biopharmaceutical industry, I am encouraged that the medical community has made important strides in diagnosing and treating people with haemophilia.
Haemophilia is a rare bleeding disorder in which the body lacks sufficient clotting factor, an important protein that controls bleeding. People with severe haemophilia usually bleed frequently into their muscles or joints. They may bleed one to two times per week, often for no apparent reason. People with moderate haemophilia bleed less frequently and may bleed for a long time after surgery, a bad injury, or dental work.
Most of us have never had to worry about experiencing a bleed. But patients with haemophilia have to plan their activities carefully and ensure they have access to the proper treatment if they do experience a bleed. Despite the challenges and frustrations associated with this condition, people with haemophilia can live active and fulfilling lives if they receive the proper diagnosis and treatment.
The World Federation of Haemophilia (WFH) estimates that 6.9 million people have a bleeding disorder and 75 per cent of them do not know it. Diagnosis rates are especially low in developing countries. In 2003 the WFH launched the Global Alliance for Progress (GAP) programme to greatly increase the diagnosis and treatment of people with haemophilia and other bleeding disorders in developing countries. This has had significant impact across country borders.
• 3.166 billion international units (IUs) cumulative increase in product supply.
The GAP programme has rigorous goals for its next decade of work and broad support from a number of biopharmaceutical companies and government entities, along with medical professionals, advocacy organisations and, of course, patients themselves. It is a tremendous reminder of the progress we can make when we work together.
As with any disease, it's important to have treatment options. The main goals of treating bleeding disorders are to decrease the frequency and severity of bleeds, prevent long-term complications such as joint deformities and improve patients' quality of life.
Our understanding of the science behind haemophilia has progressed so much that today an increasing number of companies are focused on developing new treatment options.
In 1952, researchers published the first paper identifying what is now known as haemophilia B. Prior to that the medical community did not distinguish between haemophilia A and B.
Today bleeding disorders are distinguished based on the clotting factor or protein that is deficient or missing altogether. For example, if you have haemophilia A, you're either missing, or have low levels of, clotting factor VIII. If you have haemophilia B, you're missing, or have low levels of, clotting factor IX.
There is a trend towards use of recombinant treatments – genetically engineered cells that carry a human factor gene – to ensure sufficient factor levels in the blood. An increasing number of biopharmaceutical companies are developing long-acting therapies, which allow patients to have greater intervals between treatments. While previously they may have needed to infuse several times per week, newer therapies are being developed that can allow patients up to two weeks between treatments.
From a quality-of-life perspective, this gives people with haemophilia and their doctors the flexibility to choose a dosing schedule that fits their own personal needs. Furthermore, several companies are exploring gene therapy as a way to correct the genes that cause these conditions in the first place. A recent article in Xconomy highlights the challenges and opportunities that gene therapy holds for people with haemophilia.
Together we can, and we will, make a difference.
As CSL Behring's senior director, Global Commercial Development Coagulation, Dr Jens Oltrogge is responsible for CSL Behring's global coagulation franchise, including its innovative recombinant factor products in development. Dr Oltrogge has a PhD in biology from the Johann-Wolfgang-Goethe University Frankfurt.


It's a Boy – It's a Girl brings a new dimension to the traditional name search for new earthlings. In nearly 300 photos, company buildings and shop fronts in the USA, Europe and Asia that bear the name of their owners are documented: from car dealerships through laundries, there are countless fields of activity for the bearers of each forename – a perfect aid to choosing a name for parents-to-be. The result is an unusual book of names, photographic and typographical, in two halves: It's a Boy presents the high and low ebbs of window displays from Albert to Yusuf, while It's a Girl shows graphical delicacies from Açelya to Yvonne.

In recent years, the automotive industry has faced an unprecedented crisis. In particular, the zero-inventory approach, which has been widely pursued by many automobile companies, seems to be impractical in some real production contexts since it requires an inventory of all parts but in low amounts. In this paper, we investigate a new logistics method which collects automobile parts by integrating the progress-lane (P-LANE) into the corresponding vehicle routing problem. We propose a mixed integer programming formulation for this new model, which can simultaneously determines the trip routes to collect automobile parts, as well as the P-LANE that each collected part should be assigned to, so as to minimize the total costs of the production and inbound logistics. The comparison with the zero-inventory model shows that the use of the P-LANE within the milk-run system could significantly decrease the total costs and also improve the transportation efficiency. To be specific, for small and large size instances, the total costs of the zero-inventory model are about 10% and 30% higher than the ones with P-LANE, respectively, which suggests that the periodic part collection model with P-LANE could be more appropriate for automobile manufacturing.

It may be a messy, nasty matter, but I'm on it. I'll take it off your hands.
When bank transactions get complex, messy, and are likely to go to trial or have evidentiary hearings on them, I'm in my element. I love stepping into a courtroom, and presenting a case calmly, persuasively, in a way the judge and jury can understand, all on behalf of my client. I work closely with my clients and develop lasting relationships with them to understand their business, how they work and what motivates them.
It's not all contentious with me, though, as much as I love winning. On the transactional side, I enjoy the days when I am able to help clients acquire distressed assets, move quickly and provide guidance through the transaction, and take something that was going to waste or be a failed business and give it a second chance at life.
Even outside of my work, I enjoy competing – I do long-distance endurance running, biking and swimming, and have completed 3 IRONMAN triathlons, 10 marathons, several ultramarathons, and have run across the Grand Canyon and back. I am married with two sons, and am involved in their sports teams and Scouts.
A Groundbreaking Moment in my Career
When the Petters case erupted, it seemed like every law firm and lawyer in town was involved. I had first-chaired litigation matters before, but first-chairing that case, and our firm's involvement in it, gave me a huge opportunity. I was still a relatively young lawyer – the youngest attorney at the lead counsel table by a decade –getting up again and again on behalf of my clients, and having my skills displayed to the larger bankruptcy community. I led the defendant group of more than 30 attorneys to take the deposition of the trustee's chief expert. When I look back at some of the big cases I've had since then, a significant portion of them can be traced back to people I met and interacted with on the Petters case.

Practicing Creditors' Remedies, Bankruptcy & Work-Out
I act as a strategic partner for banks and other financial institutions, working hand-in-hand with workout professionals to implement collection strategies in a timely and professional manner, and delivering strategic advice to clients who need to determine the best way to collect and enforce their rights. I also serve as an external workout professional to guide banks and loan officers through the process. In my creditors' remedies practice, I work on matters such as the enforcement of secured loans, the acquisition of assets or a company that is distressed, bidding on and acquiring distressed debt, and collections on unsecured notes.
Represented a bank in connection with a failed historic tax credit project. The matter ended with the bank foreclosing on the property and having an affiliate become the federal tax credit investor. Along the way, we had a receiver appointed, completed the renovations at the property, and obtained the dismissal of two bankruptcy filings by the borrower group.
Represented a local bank in connection with a mortgage foreclosure matter involving multiple appeals to the Minnesota Court of Appeals and Minnesota Supreme Court. Successfully defended the priority of the bank's mortgage against a junior creditor and defeated multiple lender liability claims asserted against the bank.
Successfully represented a secured lender in a two day evidentiary hearing objecting to the debtor's use of cash collateral and seeking relief from the automatic stay. The debtor had transferred substantial real estate assets on the eve of filing for bankruptcy and the parties had significant disagreements about the value of the real estate.
Successfully represented a secured lender in having the borrower's bankruptcy proceeding dismissed so that the lender could proceed with its state court foreclosure rights.
Successfully tried an adversary proceeding objecting to a debtor's discharge. The debtor had transferred significant assets on the eve of filing for bankruptcy and had filed materially false schedules and statements with the bankruptcy court.
Represented secured lender in contested Chapter 11 cash collateral hearing involving a printing company which projected significant erosion of cash, inventory and account receivable levels early in the bankruptcy case. Obtained favorable cash collateral order which constrained the borrower's ability to spend cash and erode collateral value.
Represented loan servicer in bankruptcy proceeding with mortgages and liens on approximately forty convenience stores. The borrower's efforts to confirm a cram-down plan of reorganization were defeated, which led to an agreed-upon 363 sale where each of the convenience stores was sold at public auction and the secured lender acquired one store through credit bid.
Represented special servicers of CMBS loans on all aspects of commercial real estate loan workouts. Properties have included office, industrial, multi-family, warehouse, gas stations, convenience stores and hotels.
Represented secured lender liquidating a large portfolio of loans to numerous home builders and residential real estate developers. Collateral included vacant lots, numerous spec homes, condominiums and properties involving homeowners associations. Remedies exercised on behalf of the lender included judicial foreclosures, foreclosures by advertisement, voluntary foreclosure agreements, deeds in lieu of foreclosure, deeds in escrow, reduction of redemption period to five weeks for vacant properties, and receivership.
Represented a lead bank in connection with a foreclosure on a senior cooperative and in connection with a suit brought by participant banks. The matter included litigation in state court, bankruptcy court and federal court.
Executed and recovered various unusual items of collateral, including show-horses, wholesale live-fish inventory, sports memorabilia, boats, snowmobiles, and certificated stock.
Represented a group of secured creditors in purchasing the assets of a multi-national technology company out of an assignment for the benefit of creditors. The creditor group was successful in obtaining the key assets without significant further cash outlays.
Represented strategic and financial buyers in section 363 bankruptcy sales. Acquired assets have included equipment, intellectual property, and real estate.
Represented a secured creditor and landlords in separate restaurant bankruptcy proceedings. Dealt with issues including use of cash collateral, DIP financing, assumption and assignment of leases, sale of assets, and confirmation of liquidating plans.
Represented secured creditor in assignment for the benefit of creditor proceeding. Worked with the assignee to get the secured lender paid in accordance with the loan documents. The secured creditor obtained a full recovery.

Practicing Financial Services Litigation
In addition to representing lenders in creditors' remedies and workout litigation, I also represent banks, other financial institutions, and receivers in complex litigation matters. Because I have in-depth experience with both the business goals of financial institutions and the process of complex litigation, I am able to simplify matters in a way that supports my clients. I have experience in heavily litigated bank disputes, including lender liability claims, counter claims against banks, claims of coercion, and fraudulent inducement. I frequently work on cases involving Ponzi schemes, servicing, rights and obligations, mortgage foreclosures, receiverships and claim and delivery, including cases involving entities that have gone through bankruptcy or have issues associated with a bankruptcy filing.
Represented multiple creditors in the bankruptcy and federal district court proceedings that arose in the wake of Tom Petters' $3.5 billion Ponzi scheme, including the first major creditor to enter into a significant settlement agreement with the Petters' trustee and the various bankruptcy estates.
Successfully tried a weeklong jury trial seeking damages from a hedge fund that took control of an ethanol plant that failed to pay its other creditors. When senior management at the hedge fund was criminally indicted and the fund was placed in receivership, successfully used various collection tools to get our client paid in full.
Represented an assignee in an assignment for the benefit of creditors over a group of entities that had owned multiple assisted living facilities. Initiated and resolved a claims process with over 1,000 filed claim in less than six months.

Guided the new administrative agent through the process of performing its duties when complete and accurate information was not made available and where the parties to the loan agreement were in active litigation.
Represented an investor and a DIP lender in an involuntary bankruptcy proceeding brought against a mining company. Led the effort by a group of secured creditors to establish the priority of their claims and recover from the real estate and equipment securing their loans.
Obtained summary judgment for a bank in Federal Court on a seven figure conversion claim brought by a bonding company after the bank's borrower failed.
Represented several financial institutions in responding to residential mortgage repurchase demands totaling over $40 million. Coordinated with other defendants in defending against claims and developed unique settlement analysis that resulted in clients obtaining an early resolution of the claims.
Represented a securities brokerage and trading firm in connection with a suit against an international financial institution for damages caused by a rogue employee.
Successfully represented a participant bank in connection with a claim against a lead bank that had failed to disclose material information in connection with selling a multi-million dollar participation.
Represented an administrative agent in connection with disputes regarding the administration of a $150 million loan facility that was in default.
Practicing Construction & Real Estate Litigation
Because of my experience foreclosing on a huge variety of real estate, I also represent property owners, developers, and lenders on a range of matters including disputes related to the purchase and sale of real estate, title insurance disputes, boundary disputes, condemnation, and mechanic's liens. I work with my clients to understand the process, particularly the cost and timing implications of litigation, so that they can make the best decisions to accomplish their business goals.
Represented land owners and lenders in connection with condemnation proceedings. Worked with my transactions colleagues to simultaneously prepare for contested litigation and work towards a negotiated resolution.
Obtained summary judgment for a home builder in a case accusing the home builder of faulty construction of over 30 townhomes.

When negotiated resolution was not possible, brought legal action to establish boundary lines, including Torrens registration proceedings, declaratory judgment actions and adverse possession claims.
Represented land owners and lenders in reformation actions to correct legal descriptions in deeds and mortgages, sometimes from the early 1900s.
Represented lenders in connection with making and negotiating title insurance disputes.
Represented buyers, sellers and secured lenders in connection with the sale of distressed real estate.
Represented multiple sellers of property pursuant to contracts for deed in cancelling the contracts and in ensuing litigation related to the cancellation of those contracts.
Represented multiple landlords in commercial eviction proceedings.


Up until the 2016 Fort McMurray wildfire, this was considered to be the costliest natural disaster Canada had ever seen, with an estimated cost of $5 billion in property damage.
According to Environment Canada, 68 mm of rain fell in Calgary within 48 hours, but it was the rainfall across the eastern slopes of the Rockies that set off the intense flooding that followed. Some areas were pummelled by 200 millimeters of rain- more rainfall in a few hours than those areas' average in months.
Back in 2012, snow hit Southern Alberta beginning early October and didn't stop until mid-April. The mountain snowpack in May 2012 was immense, over one meter in some places. Several days of thunderstorms drenched the snow-packed ground, preventing the vast amounts of water from being absorbed. Once the rainfall and melting snow hit the rivers, levels rose rapidly. The Bow River spiked to 10 times its normal flow rate.
Alberta hydrologist John Pomeroy told CTV News that in the past 100 years there has been "immeasurable change" in the type of rainfall that reaches the Prairies, with larger volumes of rain and less snow. "The rain themselves could not have been prevented, though I suspect they're a manifestation of our changing climate," he said.
The flooding in 2013 was considered to be a '1 in 100 year' event. These 100-year floods have roughly a 1 percent chance of occurring in any given year, demonstrating just how rare this event was. The last time anything like this happened was in 1995.


There are many variations of this North African stew, both in terms of the spices used and the meat (or lack of meat). Feel free to substitute beef for lamb, or skip it entirely for a vegetarian version. Traditionally served over a mound of couscous (preferably whole wheat), this hearty and healthful dish will serve about 10.
In a stockpot or Dutch oven, brown the lamb pieces in generous amount of olive oil until very dark all over. Lower heat and add the garlic and onion. Saute for 2-3 minutes, stirring to pick up the brown bits from the bottom of the pan.
Add the rest of the ingredients. If needed, add some water to cover the vegetables. Cover, and raise heat to a boil, then lower to a simmer. Cook for approximately 45 minutes, or until the vegetables are very tender and the lamb begins to come off the bone (or shred with a fork). Taste for seasoning, and add more salt or Rockin' Moroccan spice blend as needed.
The stew can rest at this point until ready to serve. When ready, prepare couscous for the number of people you are serving. If using boxed couscous, follow instructions on box.
If using loose couscous, here is what you need to know: one cup of dry couscous serves about 2 people for a main dish. For each cup of dry couscous, you will need to boil 1 1/2 cups of water (or you can use broth for more flavor). Once the liquid boils, turn off the heat and add in the dry couscous. Cover tightly and let sit until the liquid is absorbed, about 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork and serve as the base for your stew.
Your Moroccan stew can be frozen, but it is best to freeze the couscous and the actual stew separately.

La cathédrale Saint-Joseph de Wuhu (芜湖圣若瑟主教座堂) est un édifice religieux catholique de la ville de Wuhu, dans la province de l'Anhui en Chine. Construit en 1889 par des Jésuites français il est encore aujourd'hui un des plus importants édifices religieux catholiques de la province.

Histoire

La cathédrale doit sa construction à des jésuites français, notamment Joseph Seckinger, venu s'installer à Wuhu en 1883.

En 1889, l'église est achevée malgré l'opposition des nationalistes chinois qui avaient demandé en  l'arrêt des travaux et qui avaient organisé des manifestations hostiles. Outre la cathédrale, un hôpital et une école ont été construits. Ces établissements faisaient partie d'un complexe missionnaire au service d'orphelins ainsi que de malades sans ressources.

En 1891, la Gelaohui (哥老会), aussi connnue sous le nom de « la société des frères ainés », mène l'opposition. Il s'agit d'une organisation secrète xénophobe qui souhaitait le départ des Européens et la fin de leurs intrusions dans la vie politique chinoise. Accusant le prêtre et deux religieuses catholiques d'avoir enlevé des enfants une foule incendie la cathédrale, l'hôpital et l'école. La protestation initiale tourne rapidement à la révolte, le consulat anglais de Wuhu étant aussi attaqué. Le gouvernement des Qing (Tsing) interviendra pour reprendre le contrôle de la ville et éliminer les meneurs.

La cathédrale est reconstruite en 1895 notamment grâce à des compensations financières versées par les autorités chinoises.

En 1966, sous la Révolution culturelle, la cathédrale est gravement endommagée. Elle est restaurée en 1983.

Histoire récente

Depuis 2006 et l'imposition par le gouvernement chinois d'un évêque non reconnu par le Saint-Siège, le siège du diocèse de Wuhu est juridiquement vacant.

Il y a des messes quotidiennes ( en semaine, et  le dimanche).

Settled in the 1870s, the Scranton community grew to include a post office, stores, a cotton gin, blacksmith, school and academy. In Oct. 1896, Joseph Jackson Ray and Sarah Frances (Morgan) Ray donated land for a Baptist church and graveyard. The earliest burial had already occurred in July, that of Alvin Sprawls, infant son of H.B. and M.E. Sprawls. A cemetery association formed in 1968. The Scranton community center hosts funeral services, visitations, and an annual Scranton homecoming. Dozens of military veterans dating from the Civil War are buried here, along with early settlers, educators, and public officials. The cemetery is a testament to the pioneering men and women of the community.

Q: Polynomial identities have equal coefficients When I was about 17 our teacher showed us how polynomial identities had equal coefficients.
I remember him showing that this was so by moving one polynomial "over to the other side" and showing that if indeed the two sets of coefficients were equal, it was sufficient for the identity to be true.
I can't remember how - or if - he proved it to be necessary i.e. there wasn't another set of non-equal coefficients knocking about that the identity would hold for.
Anyone got any idea how to do it?

A: Suppose $f(x) = 0$ is an identity, where $f$ is a polynomial, and $f(x)$ denotes the associated polynomial function evaluated at $x$.
Then, every number is a root of the polynomial $f$.
It is well-known that a nonzero polynomial of degree $n$ over a field can have at most $n$ roots (e.g. by factoring the polynomial), so $f$ cannot be a nonzero polynomial of degree $n$ for any $n$, because it has more than $n$ roots.
Therefore, the only possibility is that $f$ is the zero polynomial.

If you're familiar with modular arithmetic, it is interesting to note the above argument fails in a more general setting!!! There are two different ways.
An example of the first way is when doing modular arithmetic modulo $2$, it turns out that the function
$$ x^2 + x \equiv 0 \pmod{2} $$
is an identity, despite the fact the coefficients are nonzero. This polynomial has two roots: $0 \bmod 2$ and $1 \bmod 2$, but it is of degree $2$, so it's okay.
An example of the second way is when doing arithmetic modulo $8$. The functions
$$ 2x^2(x^2 - 1) \equiv 0 \pmod 8$$
$$ x^3(x^2 - 1) \equiv 0 \pmod 8$$
are two more identities, despite being only degree $4$ and $5$. This is why it's important that the coefficients come from a field (e.g. modular arithmetic with a prime modulus), rather than a more general ring. These examples actually demonstrate three different things that can go wrong in general rings.

From the Editor: Taken Away
Patrick Clinton
Pharmaceutical Executive, Pharmaceutical Executive-12-01-2006, Volume 0, Issue 0
To one major legal scholar, drug safety regulation isn't just about meeting standards, it's about what you take away from one group of patients in order to benefit the rest.
Stop me if you've heard this one before: Three economists are out hunting deer. After trudging through the woods for an hour or two, they spot an eight-point buck in a clearing. The first economist fires, but his shot is off by two feet to the left. The second economist fires and misses by two feet to the right. The third economist does a little victory dance and shouts, "We got him."
And, on average, they did. The deer, of course, being an individual and not overly concerned with the average accuracy of economists' bullets, presumably walked calmly away. Averages, as useful as they are, leave many individual stories untold. That is the basic concept behind "FDA vs. the Individual," which appears in this issue. The piece is an excerpt from an important new book about pharmaceutical regulation by the distinguished libertarian legal scholar, Richard A. Epstein of the University of Chicago. Epstein has made his mark in analyzing property law, especially as it pertains to takings—government confiscations of property, or government limits on how property can be used.
Though a libertarian, Epstein concedes that sometimes government needs to force individuals to accept terms they'd rather not accept—for example, to agree not to build on property that is environmentally sensitive. His focus is on making sure that when that happens, the individual is properly compensated for his loss.
"The only way you'll persuade the public to understand the urgency of the takings cases is to get people out of the frame of mind where they think that for every dollar that the public body wins, the individual loses a dollar," Epstein noted in an interview in Reason. "What typically happens is the public wins $1 and private owners lose $5 or $10. If you do that hundreds upon hundreds of times each year, you have a major drain on the social welfare of the community."
And what does this have to do with the pharmaceutical industry? Well, it turns out that the concept of takings is a useful way of looking at pharmaceutical regulation. Failure to approve a drug, withdrawal from the market, or even harsh warnings can look very much like takings—from the drug manufacturer and, more importantly, from patients.
Take the case of a drug that is withdrawn for safety reasons. The action creates a public good: It makes most patients a bit safer. But for others, it deprives them of access to a drug that might have helped them. On average, we've created value, but in those individual cases, we've taken it away.
Epstein's point is that it's not good enough merely to look at the average. If the regulatory system is to do the balancing act that is its responsibility, it needs to start thinking more about what it takes away from individuals.
It's an argument Epstein makes eloquently, and you're better off hearing it from him (in the excerpt in this issue, or in his book, Overdose: How Excessive Government Regulation Stifles Pharmaceutical Innovation) rather than from me.
What's useful about his analysis is that it offers a way out of the trap that currently threatens to dry up the flow of new medicines. As a society, we don't have to choose between the kind of zero-regulation, free-market approach Newt Gingrich used to advocate and the kind of paternalistic, frightened approach that industry critics are calling for now.
There are ways to quantify the tradeoffs behind regulation, and ways to better protect individuals. When we learn how to do that, I imagine, we'll be better off, even on average.

Club Figaro 2019
Insight, Club Figaro | November 30, 2018
Clubbers: Jamie and Carolyn Balfour, Robert and Fiona Boyle, Tom and Sarah Floyd, Christopher and Frances Kemball
The time it took to become Club Figaro 2019. My blog is about being part of Club Figaro 2019, and if some of the things I say seem obvious to you it's because I love going to the opera but know very little about it.
Our involvement began last year because a group of us wanted to find out how The Grange Festival creates its amazing season from scratch – how a glimmer of an idea turns into a polished performance. We became Club Figaro after Robert worked out a programme of events with Michael and Rachel, and eight of us clubbed together to support Figaro for the 2019 season.
It's an experiment – we're going to be the first lot of clubbers to have fun learning what goes on behind the scenes, but, even more intriguing, to become part of the production by watching it unfold and getting to know the people making it happen. In other words we're going to step into the glorious world of opera and learn a lot more about Mozart's great masterpiece while helping the Grange Festival capitalize on its intellectual assets. The icing on the cake is that we're also going to be to be invited to all Founders Events taking place in 2019.
Of course, none of us know how it'll all work out – whether we're asking too much from the Grange Festival and if it's worth it for us. What would be an enormous help is to get your input as Club Figaro 2019 unfolds, so that we can work out what's best for Grange Festival Clubs 2020 and beyond. Please give us all the feedback you can!
October 2018: The Inaugural Dinner
We drive up the long drive at Wintershill Hall to have dinner with Jamie and Carolyn. It's too dark to see the park as we're arriving at 7.15 pm to meet the rest of Club Figaro, as well as Mark and Sophie Baring and the team at Grange Festival. Scott can't make it, but everyone else can: Michael Chance, Michael Moody and Rachel Pearson all arrive straight from a meeting. I can never get over how small the core of the Grange Festival actually is!
The idea is for Michael Chance to fill us in on the background – why he chose to put on Figaro, how he chose the orchestra, conductor, director, singers etc. Michael is a world-famous counter-tenor and music has been his life. His passion and depth of knowledge pours out of him as he stands in front of the fire place explaining how the history behind Figaro will make it come alive to an audience. He does all this in a very amusing way – and that's before we even sit down to dinner!
Sarah and I look at each other across the drawing room, both stunned by the minute detail the creative team is going into to get Figaro off the ground. In fact, I'm astonished it's got as far as it has as there's such a lot to consider, a key point being how the audience will empathise with the characters. Michael chooses singers not only for their exceptional singing but also for their stage presence. In his search for the Countess he was looking for someone younger and more vulnerable than is typical which meant finding a singer who had this quality. This is one of the reasons why I can't wait to see Simona Mihai in this role.
Figaro was first performed in 1786 and Michael wanted an orchestra to reflect the music of that time. This meant finding an orchestra that played with period instruments and had the right stylistic approach – The Academy of Ancient Music exactly fitted the bill. Laughter, bonhomie and yet more questions followed over dinner and we all left far later than intended, buoyed up by an extraordinary evening.
October/November 2018: The Auditions
We're at the first Club Figaro event where we see The Grange Festival in action. Auditions take place over three days at a London theatre that's functional rather than glamorous, so I assume relatively inexpensive to hire.
Auditions for Grange Festival 2020 operas are taking place when I get there, so I wait with the singers auditioning for the Figaro chorus. Most of them know each other and complain about the trains as they've travelled here from all over the country. Michael tells me later that he's had over 400 applicants and out of these he's chosen to hear 120 to fill 24 places – and I had naively thought he would try and find singers reasonably local to The Grange!
The aria is over so I go into the auditorium to meet my husband Robert along with Michael and Scott who are sitting together in the stalls. The other people there include Daniel Slater who is the director of Belshazzar which is playing at The Grange Festival in 2020. He's looking for major roles and singers have flown in from all over the world to audition. We're looking for the chorus, as all the major roles for Figaro have already been cast.
Most of the singers seem to know Michael and the pianist, and there's a bit of a chat when they come in. Michael asks 'What have you brought?' They casually suggest one or two arias that might be suitable, then give their music to the talented lady at the piano – she seems to play anything that's thrown at her. I'm astounded by the ease in which the opera singers perform as I can't think of anything more daunting – the lights are full on in the auditorium for notetaking, and the singers perform in front of the stage with a spotlight trained on them.
There's a break after a few auditions and the experts put their heads together to discuss the candidates – reaching a verdict doesn't take long! It was interesting to learn that some voices that sounded good to me weren't mature enough, and that a base singer in his twenties might have to wait at least another ten years before he was given good parts. On the other hand he could go on getting top roles until his mid-sixties.
The chorus demands stage presence and animation. There was another obvious key element I hadn't thought of which is that the voices must blend well together, and there's a specific blend for Figaro that they're after – think of it like coffee, more Columbian Roast than Nescafe Gold. As Daniel said, 'it's a brutal process', and the auditions really brought home to me how very very tough it is to be an opera singer.

Influencer marketing is all the rage these days. It's an age-old tactic – essentially word-of-mouth referrals – revived in recent years through the explosive growth of social media and hashtags. On the surface, modern influencer marketing strategy is basic: get famous (read: influential) people to promote your brand's products or ideas. Basic, but with a big price tag. And most brands don't have thousands of dollars to spend on a few tweets or #sponsored Instagram posts, let alone thousands more to invest in a robust and/or ongoing campaign.
CMOs, let's redefine influencer marketing strategy.
It's a fact that people – your customers – trust their friends, families and social networks more than what they read in the media or on your website. However, the millions of people who follow the Kardashians likely don't really believe the sisters' praise for everything from fat-burning tea to gummy vitamins for healthier hair. (Then there's the recent addition of #ad on their posts, just in case you weren't sure.) It's an extreme example, but the point is this: Celebrities have the power to amplify your brand, but it's short-lived. What you need is more organic, enduring – and authentic.
One-off efforts that aren't rooted in or backed by strategy aren't going to make an impact. Period. Ongoing relationships with respected, well-connected industry influentials, on the other hand, will. These are the people who have the ears of decision makers – the people who have the power to buy what you're selling. They have engaged, devoted audiences who listen and act. Take SAP, for example. Its Audience Marketing team partners with esteemed authors, academics and consultants. They attend the company's annual conference, where the SAP team live-streams interviews them and then promotes the content via social and other marketing channels. The influencers help generate buzz around SAP events and keep the conversation going long after. But you don't need to be a large corporation to do something similar – and equally valuable – for your brand.
Influencer marketing strategy can be powerful – if you leverage it the right way.
While modern influencer marketing is still emerging, marketers have long leveraged influential people to help sell products and services. What's new is social media and the internet, which give more people an opportunity to influence, as well as easier ways to engage.
As trust in media and companies continues to dwindle, the value of influencer marketing will rise.Click To TweetAs trust in media and companies continues to dwindle, the value of influencer marketing will rise. But while it's largely considered to be one of your paid tactics, it doesn't have to be. In fact, we recommend that it's not. Look to your established networks – and those of your thought leaders – as a starting point. Then branch out from there. Find people who believe not necessarily in your brand, but in your mission and your values. These are the people who have the capacity to influence the customer journey, from awareness, to lead generation, to sales, to advocacy.

Old Bulldog inspires Georgia Tech head coach
Christie Ethridge takes us behind the headline-- and across the sidelines-- to understand how a conversation 40 years ago shaped Geoff Collins' philosophy as a coach.

ATLANTA — He's the newest face leading the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets, but it's Geoff Collins' roots as a bulldog that are shaping the strategy for Atlanta's newest head coach.
No one would have known a conversation on a Conyers high school basketball court 40 years ago would guide the plays that landed Geoff Collins back home on the most recognizable football field in Atlanta – Georgia Tech.
"I still remember trying out for the basketball team," Collins reminisced. "I saw my name on the board. [I was] elated, proud, and probably within the next 15 minutes, he grabbed me and said, 'Geoff, just so you know, you are not a good basketball player.'"
His coach at the time was Cleveland Stroud. He chuckled as he confirmed this story.

"I said Geoff you're not a very good basketball player, but I like your tenacity. I like the way you get after things. I don't know how much you'll play, but I know how hard you'll practice, and that will be contagious to the rest of the team," he said.
Collins may not have been very good at basketball, but he made a career out of football and still uses the philosophy from his Rockdale County High School basketball coach.
"Geoff was used mostly as an inspiration to the other guys. If they see a guy who's not playing much busting his tail in practice to get better, the guys who are playing a lot will look to this person in leadership," Stroud said.
"I try to define roles for all of our players, because if you know what your role is, then you can excel in that role, and I learned that from Coach Stroud," Collins said.
That strategy followed Collins throughout his career as a defensive coordinator at Florida, Mississippi State, FIU, and Western Carolina, all the way to head coach at Temple and now Georgia Tech.

Stroud was surprised to hear that lesson stayed with Collins and is now spanning generations of athletes.
"I guess so! I didn't realize how dangerous I was," he joked.
In February, the two coaches reunited at a county commission meeting welcoming Collins back home.
"In person I hadn't seen him since he finished high school," Stroud said.
In his remarks, the new Yellow Jacket thanked the old Bulldog.
"One of the biggest lessons of my life was Coach Stroud. The way I've run my coaching career is based on those lessons. At Georgia Tech, we have two types of people on the team. You're either a great leader, or you're a great teammate. That's it," Collins said.
Stroud admits hearing that "means a lot. A lot of my players have told me things over the years that I don't remember saying, but they remember and that's what's important."
Coach Stroud is now retired and spends his time on Conyers City Council, but his legacy lives on through the new head coach in town.
