If there is anything positive to say about emerging markets stocks, and finding such niceties is difficult these days, it is that these equities and ETFs are inexpensive on a valuation basis.
The iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Index Fund (NYSE:EEM) has a P/E ratio of about 18.1 and even steeper discounts can be found with ETFs tracking EEM's constituent countries.
For example, the iShares FTSE China 25 Index Fund (NYSE:FXI) has a P/E of 13.2. Russian stocks, as is usually the case, are also trading at significant discounts to the broader emerging markets universe.
One market that despite its recent declines is not trading at a discount is Mexico and that could portend more downside ahead for stocks in Latin America's second-largest economy. In the past three months, the iShares MSCI Mexico Capped Investable Market Index Fund (NYSE:EWW) is the second-best performer among the five major country-specific ETFs tracking Latin American nations.
That is saying nothing, however, because EWW is down 16.4 percent over that time, a performance that is by no means good and is merely less bad than the dismal runs of the comparable Brazil, Chile and Peru ETFs. Despite that tumble, EWW has a P/E of almost 22.3 and a price-to-book ratio of nearly four, according to iShares data.
A large part of the reason why EWW trades at valuations that are rich compared to other emerging markets ETFs is sector allocation. Consumer staples and telecom, both defensive sectors, combine for over 46 percent of EWW's weight. Valuations on U.S. staples are also rich, but the corresponding ETFs do not feature a three-year standard deviation of 21.2 percent like EWW does.
Over the past three months, EWW has been 230 basis points more volatile than the iShares MSCI Chile Investable Market Index Fund (NYSE:ECH) and nearly 700 basis points more volatile than the Global X FTSE Colombia 20 ETF (NYSE:GXG). GXG is the one Latin America ETF that has outpaced EWW over that time.
The potential problem looming for Mexican stocks and EWW is the recent declines have not done much in the way of making Mexico look cheap relative to other Latin American markets. Worse yet, earnings do not appear to be justifying the prices investors would pay today for EWW and its constituents.
"We would highlight that we do not feel that current valuations adequately reflect how weak Mexican earnings have been so far in 2013 (on a market cap-weighted basis, Mexican earnings fell 10% short of expectations in 1Q-2013), nor adequately reflect the likelihood of further downward revisions in earnings stemming from a weaker-than-expected economic outlook in Mexico (with expectations for GDP growth having been cut from ~4% to ~3%)," according to part of UBS note posted in Barron's.
For technical traders out there, EWW offers plenty of warnings on that front as well. The ETF labors 15.6 percent below its 200-day moving average and just 3.3 percent above its 52-week low. EWW's recent string of closes below $60 are the fund's first in a year.

Elaine Castillo: Bi People Are From Earth, or Steven Yeun is Hot
Everyone knows bisexual people aren't real and don't exist, so for someone who isn't real and whose existence is a myth, Elaine has nevertheless seen some bullshit.
Elaine Castillo was born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area. She graduated from the University of California, Berkeley with a degree in Comparative Literature. She is a Voices of Our Nation Arts Foundation Fellow, and her writing can be found in Freeman's, Lit Hub, The Rumpus, Taste Magazine, Bon Appetit, Electric Literature and elsewhere. Her short film, A Mukbang, was commissioned by the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art's Open Space. America Is Not the Heart is her first novel.
Hi. I'm Maeve Marsden and you're listening to Queerstories – the podcast for the LGBTQI+ storytelling night I host and programme around Australia. If you're listening for the first time, make sure you check out the back catalogue of episodes. There are, to put it mildly, shit tonnes of good stories for you to seek your teeth into. Seek your teeth into? Sink your teeth into. Sink your ears? Sink your ears into them. I don't know if that makes sense. There's also a Queerstories book that you should really buy, and a podcast collaboration with Google's Creative Lab called My Mother's Kitchen. It features a bunch of Queerstories storytellers and is a cool interactive game "slash" podcast "slash"… Look, it's an experimental audio experience and you should definitely check it out at mymotherskitchen.com.au.
If you're a regular listener, just a heads up that I'm taking a bit of time to work a little less on Queerstories and a little more on my own writing projects, so for the next six months or so, episodes are coming out weekly rather than twice a week. Feel free to hold me accountable to this on Twitter by sending me all caps tweets that are like, "ARE YOU WRITING RIGHT NOW?!" Or, "HAVE YOU FINISHED YOUR PLAY?" I'll take all the encouragement and pressure that I can get.
Elaine Castillo was born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area where she graduated from the University of California, Berkeley, with a degree in Comparative Literature. America Is Not the Heart is her debut novel, and was named one of the best books of 2018 by NPR, Lit Hub, The Boston Globe, San Francisco Chronicle, The New York Post, Kirkus Reviews, The New York Public Library and many more. It has been nominated for The ELLE Award, The Center for Fiction Prize, The Aspen Words Prize, The Northern California Independent Booksellers Book Award, and the California Book Award. This story was performed at Queerstories for Sydney Writers Festival.
All right. So, I'm going to read something called Bi People Are From Earth, or Steven Yeun is Really Hot. But, boy, do I need to … Do people know who Steven Yeun is?
*One Audience Member Whoops*
Oh, guys. Well, basically, he's a Korean-American actor. He's in this TV show that I actually have never seen, I think a zombie TV show, The Walking Dead. Have people seen this?
*Inaudible muttering amongst audience*
Okay, have that discussion amongst yourselves. He's also in this anti-capitalist movie that's based in the Bay Area by Boots Riley called Sorry to Bother You. Basically, he's a Korean-American actor. That's probably all you need to know.
AUDIENCE MEMBER: He's hot.
ELAINE: And he's hot. Yeah, it's in the title.
So, everyone knows bi people aren't real and don't exist, so for someone who isn't real and whose existence is a myth, I have nevertheless seen some bullshit.
*Audience laughs*
We were all at a pub in New Cross, South London, a place that shits out hipsters faster than you can say Slavoj Zizek is a Wild Racist, which is actually a real-life story for another time. It was one of these sloppy, grad student type of nights, and everything was very friendly until the white girls started touching my hair. Because up until that point we'd all been kind of floating this kind of benevolent drunken miasma of progressive radical anti-racist queerdom. And we were talking about, I don't know, diversity in media or something. And then this one girl went full Nicholas Cage about how much she loved Asian hair; like that's a thing that exists. I mean, it exists insofar as Asian food exists, which is to say generally it only exists for people who aren't Asian.
When I'm drunk I can be somewhat confrontational, so I started out just by returning the favour. I thought I was going to very enthusiastically starting touching her hair, like the texture of this, the blonde colour of it. I really fascinated me. It didn't. It did not.
Just to see what she thought of being on the other side of that attention. Obviously, that didn't work. I think she thought I was flirting with her. I mean, I can admit I have made some bad choices about cis white girls to flirt with before, but this was not one of them.
The girl whose hair I eventually very suddenly stopped touching, she, at some point, said that her mother was born in Zimbabwe. And with very big, earnest eyes, she said that her mother thought white babies were ugly, that her mother taught her to adore, and respect, and learn – she said the word so fervently, it sounded italicised even in speech – learn from people of colour. Then, she said, "I'm mostly a dyke, but sometimes I like men, so maybe I'm more bi? But the only men I'm attracted to are men of colour, like Black men, Latin men, like, Asian men."
"Is that problematic?" She asked. She seemed to genuinely be interested in the answer, so I said…
Sidebar: Also when I'm drunk, I get very, uh, loudly infused with the spirit of Anti-White Supremacist Post-Colonial Rhetoric 101…
… which is one of the reasons I'm currently trying to be sober. Actually, no, not sober, trying to quit drinking. Sober, I mean, weed is legal in California where I live, so not sober, but I'm trying to quit drinking. There's heaps of studies. There's a University of Michigan study that says bisexual women are more prone to alcoholism than hetero and lesbian women. So, basically, I'm trying to try out a thing where I don't regularly drink ten double Maker's Marks on a night out, and end up a statistical cliché.
So, I said/slurred to the girl, "Look, liking who you like is whatever, but people of colour are often read as queer within white supremacist heteropatriarchy, because our bodies and sexualities – the very atomic fact of us – reads to, for example, a colonial mindset, as perverse deviations from normative bodies and normative sexualities, which is to say, white bodies, and white sexualities… " I was very drunk.
And I said, "It seems like you see no division between your interest in women and your interest in cis women and your interest in cis men of colour because you perceive both interactions as queer, and ultimately because you fetishise men of colour as being non-normative."
"I guess that's true," she said.
"So am I still a dyke or am I bi?"
She asked this like I was supposed to give her a ruling from the committee.
And throughout this, her friend was still touching my hair. I mean, it is possible that one path of this encounter would have lead to a very awkward threesome in Peckham, but they were both looking at me with such intent and interest, and then it was at that point that I realised that I'd found myself in my nightmare: I was in a teachable moment.
I mean, God, I'm fucking tired of the teachable moment, especially because if you happen to be a queer artist of colour, so much of your life and work is reduced to teachable moments, which is to say, "Teach me what it is to be Filipina." I don't know. Teach me what it is to be a bi woman of colour, teach me about the US colonisation of the Philippines, teach me about Duterte, and nurses, and immigration, and identity, and generally do all of that at the expense of being a person in your fullness, someone who doesn't exist to educate, or prove, and would rather really just talk about Star Trek and doughnuts.
I mean, ultimately, I used to fall for it, too, because I used to bring out my little Rolodex of experiences, and break out the pictures of my dandy-butch days, and quote Sara Ahmed at the right people, and make sure not to talk about which dudes I found hot in front of certain audiences, and vice versa, but I just can't find it in me to care anymore, I think especially if all that effort earns me is credibility in the face of some very extremely peak white cis queer women in a bad South London pub, who obviously had zero similar compunction about chatting up their Tinder filters.
I mean, ultimately, it's rare and wild enough to love and be loved, and, yes, there are mysteries of desire, of encounter, of being a person taken wholly by a feeling. And those mysteries, yes, are woven into the very practical and material realities of living and loving in a white supremacist hetero-patriarchal society, which is to say it's a reality where certain of my relationships are protected and enabled in ways that others simply are not. And, it's one where I guess certain queer people live at intersections that other queer people, I guess, take Zimbabwean safaris through.
All of which is to say, the fucking teachable moment found me again, but now I think its message is this:
The actor Steven Yeun from the TV show I haven't seen, The Walking Dead, and the pretty good movie, Sorry To Bother You, is really Hot. Thank you.

Chemoreception of sucrose and amino acids in second and fourth instars of the spruce budworm, Choristoneura fumiferana (Clem.)
Sandoval, Mariana (2005) Chemoreception of sucrose and amino acids in second and fourth instars of the spruce budworm, Choristoneura fumiferana (Clem.). Masters thesis, Concordia University.
Electrophysiological responses from various chemosensilla on the maxillae of second instar spruce budworm larvae were obtained using sucrose and 1-amino acids as stimuli. Complementary tests stimulating the L1 on the maxillary palp and the lateral styloconic sensilla (LST) on the galea of fourth instars were also performed. The results from both second and fourth instars were then compared with earlier electrophysiological work done on older sixth instars. Sensitivity of responses from the sugar-sensitive cell of the L1 and the LST to sucrose for second, fourth and sixth instars revealed that the mean firing frequency of this cell remains unchanged in the L1 sensillum during larval development. However, for the LST an age-related sensitivity to sucrose was noted with increases in larval age. The LST and the L2 sensilla of second instars were stimulated with thirteen amino acids; however, only three (l-leucine, l-aspartic acid and l-valine) evoked a response in the former sensillum. No responses were obtained from the L2 sensillum to any of the amino acids, confirming that this sensillum does not possess an amino-acid sensitive cell, but instead has a water-sensitive cell, which is inhibited by higher concentrations of KCl. Further analysis of responses from the 1-proline-sensitive cell of the medial styloconic sensillum (MST) revealed that the second instar larvae are less sensitive to stimulations with 1-proline than are fourth and sixth instars. These results are discussed in relation to the changes in feeding preferences of larvae as they age

Out of the darkest hour – Comes the brightest light.
Imagine growing up in a family where one day your parents tell you that they love you, and the next day they tell you that they hate you, and that you are ugly and bad. This results in serious mental emotional trauma and psychological disturbances in your personality. There are many people who experience this kind of trauma for long periods of their lives. It is unimaginable to me – that someone could be exposed to such torture.

"He Always Gets Away With Profiting Off Other People's Sweat" — Ycee Slams His Former Label Boss
Nigerian rapper, Ycee, has taken to social media to drag his former label boss who shared a photo celebrating the fact that the label had reached a record milestone of 100million 'song streams' across all digital platforms.
According to Ycee, 'let it be known to the general public that not a single dime generated from those streams got into the pocket of any of the artists responsible for the content that geberatd those streams and all that have made congratulatory comments on the post, the only thing the CEO is grateful for is the fact that he has yet again, seemingly gotten away with profiting off of other people's sweat'.
See his full post below…
Before I start I would first like to apologize to everyone of you all that I hold in high regard because I've tried my possible best to not let my social media be used as a point of negativity or conflict but I've been left with no choice.
So the CEO of TINNY ENTERTAINMENT took to his Instagram page yesterday to show gratitude for 100million plus streams (across all platforms) and this was brought to my attention which left me confused because the post as seen above was accompanied with the caption "Grateful" and the handle of the label and no mention of the artistes whose content generated those streams.
let it be known to the general public that not a single dime generated from those streams got into the pocket of any of the artists responsible for the content that geberatd those streams and all that have made congratulatory comments on the post, the only thing the CEO is grateful for is the fact that he has yet again, seemingly gotten away with profiting off of other people's sweat'.
(like he has been well known to do so many times in the past)
I have been silent as I have quietly been focused on rebuilding my life and career and also out of respect to my previous employer but he in turn has not accorded me that same respect.
Actions ranging from attacks on my reputation by spreading falsities about me, saying I betrayed him by leaving his label (knowing fully well the terms on which our business relationship ended) to leaking my music which he absolutely has zero rights to release but unfortunately happens to possess in order to delay and destabilize my debut album release.
Before anyone asks why I'm doing this, it is simply to protect any other artistes from suffering the same fate and falling into the hands of this manipulative and delusional human being.
I have spent the most part of the last 24hours on set shooting the first single off my album and I am going to get some rest at this juncture so nobody should call my phone

Many of my father's pictures make logical sense to me. I know that he loved being outdoors. His love of the world outside, began long before he met my mother. His childhood was spent outdoors. But the thing now that impresses me the most, not knowing my father you a feel his love of the outdoors in the pictures that he left. Many of these pictures were only seen by my father, sometimes my mother, sometimes myself and my sisters. But seldom as many people as will see them now, after I post them and 2nd person views them. Some of these images never shared with anyone until they are scanned and now shared with the world.
The editor within each of prohibits us from freely sharing. Don't put that online its upside down. Don't share that picture of me; I look horrible in that picture. Don't, don't don't don't the list goes on beyond the end of the world falling off at the flat edge (I am truly kidding). In many cases, these pictures are 50 years old. Some are older than that. The light captured on the reflective film now 50 light years or more away from us. The moment capture, the instant the light then bouncing off mother Gaia to fling itself out into space and pass Voyager, about 20 years before it was launched. Well ahead in the footrace the reality of light as it travels faster than the eye can comprehend.
I am part of the image, the first one — the essence of the little person in that picture consumed by the adult that lives as me now. The other pictures are moments. Scenery until you get to dogs, puppies, and goats. For the most part, the moments in the images don't resonate with what I know. But what I know isn't always a fact, it is as my mother says ",my memory." The reverse is also true; it is the memories of others. The moments captured, however, those belonged to my father. It is that connection that I write towards. I seek that missing piece of information forever. So many of the slides were shared, but the many in the case of 30,000 were 2000 or possibly 3000. 1 in 10 share, 9 of 10 kept because they were not good enough to hare with others.
In each picture shared a story. But in each picture kept quiet, the story is lost with the person.
Yeah I was, not sure what went wrong.
Okay, so what exactly is the round thing.
I love the tangled looking branches.
Dad always had the eye.
One of the grandchildren would be trying to climb that later.
Oh yeah, my kids would have been 20 feet in the air.
Storms can be very exciting to watch.
They really are, dad loved taking pictures of storms.
Has someone climbed up there?
I would be pick all those little rock.
Dad used to collect rocks. He found beauty is so many things.
I am certain you are right about that.
Is that a parade? I got a little lost.
yes he did in fact! He had them stored in a sealed container. The thing that gets to slides (and pictures)is water!


For 2015, instead of conducting a formal in-person presentation for the Hawaii State Legislative Update, HEC produced a YouTube video that highlights the few laws that were passed this year. The video is pretty short (~5 minutes) and provides an update on some new labor and employment laws that resulted from the 2015 legislative session.
In addition, you can obtain the latest version of HEC's Legislative Digest here: Legislative Digest after Veto Deadline.
Finally, as always, if you have any questions or comments, please let me know. Have a great day!
Each year, the Hawaii Employers Council provides its members with updates on labor and employment law bills that are being addressed by the legislature. One of those documents, the Legislative Digest, is actually currently available to the general public, and can be accessed here: HEC Legislative Updates.
Bills that are still alive as of the Second Lateral deadline address (1) the minimum wage, (2) payment of wages via direct deposit and pay cards, and (3) workers' compensation drugs, fee schedule and settlements.
As more deadlines pass, I will update this blog entry to indicate when the most recent Legislative Digest is available.
Other updates, such as articles providing a detailed explanation of several of the significant measures and talking points on certain bills, however, are available only to HEC members.
Many employers ask whether they may have their employees sign "non-compete agreements." The answer is Yes, but with limitations.
This week, in 7′s International v. Daoru Del Rosario, the Hawaii Supreme Court ruled that an agreement that prevented a former employee from competing with its former employer was valid.


Obstacles always show up and plans always change. Any journey worth taking comes with bumps you didn't know about and twists, turns and re-routing that you didn't imagine.
Perhaps, instead, we should only described a plan working out with absolutely no variation as unexpected.
Imagine what that would do to our mental state, stress levels and perspective.
I started 2017 with a post on my theme for the new year – engagement.
From that post – I believe engagement is the answer to the debates around managing energy versus managing time. As with most important things, it isn't an either/or. And, I also believe engagement is a principle that a good life is anchored around. And, as with all life principles, it is very hard to consistently live it. Also, I think of engagement and consciousness (the ability to be aware and to choose) as sister concepts. They share the same core.
Engaging on engagement is easier said than done, of course. So, I broke it down to 3 sub themes – health, information and seeking to understand and then to be understood. And, I committed to a collection of processes at the beginning of the year.
Health: Some aspects had gone really well. I had made some very good diet changes, was doing a much better job working out my whole body, and was consciously standing more and walking more through the day. But, my exercise volume had dipped post parenthood and a few other projects. So, I needed to do a better job here. Overall, however, I'd say this was positive.
Information: Aspects that had worked well included a much better use of email filters, almost no email reading in bed, cutting a bunch of news feeds that were more noise than signal and starting the "Notes by Ada" project to synthesize my thinking around technology. But, on the flip side, I hadn't done a good job in "deep reading" (books), was still checking my phone far too often as a default action and was a bit last minute in the creation of "Notes by Ada." I felt I needed to do a much better job here as it felt like 3 steps forward and 2.9 steps back.
Seek to understand and then to be understood: This was the most nebulous sub theme of the three as it isn't that easy to judge. However, I ask myself how I'm doing with this (along with the other 2) every day. And, I had begun to perceive progress. I was more aware of when I interrupted folks in conversation and was doing a better job modulating my energy in meetings. I didn't expect change in six months as this is a longer term construction project. Positive progress with an awareness that there's a long way to go.
This half year review was a breath of fresh air as it injected much needed energy and purpose. I think we all tend to overweight the negatives. And, before I started this review, I thought I'd gone backward on 2 of my 3 objectives. But, the review revealed a lot more nuance – bunch of things going well, a few improvements required – and also made me realize that I'd made a lot more progress than I thought.
I've made a fair few changes since that aim to chip away at the areas I need to do better. But, more than ever, I realize how we frequently overestimate what we can get done in a day and underestimate what we can get done over the long haul – especially when we chip away at things, one small action at a time.
This is the age of the hustle. It is easier than ever to hustle. We always have access to the people we want to reach – via email and social networks. If you want to send someone an email a day to remind them of something that will help you, you can.
First, mistakes we could and should have avoided with some thought are not signs of us learning. They point to stupidity.
Second, the tension of waiting and responding (instead of replying) is the tension that helps us grow. We sacrifice growth and wisdom when we sacrifice that tension.
And, finally, it should be obvious that this is the kind of hustle that only works in the short run.
Don't glorify action. Action isn't great. It is just, well, action. We make progress by learning when to act.
And, sometimes, as a result, the best thing to do is to just wait.
If every discussion around success included questions that probed how we measure it and the trade-offs involved, there would be fewer discussions. It is hard to isolate cause and effect in an issue as complex as success – however we define it.
This could also be a playbook for any content you create. Pick an interesting subject, strip away all the nuance, pick a pretty picture, choose a catchy title, share it all over social media – and, voilà, with a bit of luck, you've gotten yourself a winner.
But, is that really winning?
Such narratives are generally unhelpful and often plain dangerous. But, that aside, what of us? Why do we write?
Writing can be many things. It can be a medium with which we drive change. It can feed our soul. With every piece of content we share, we decide whether we want to raise the standard of discussion or lower it. And, we do all of this by putting a piece of ourselves out there.
Some might say that we owe it to ourselves to keep the nuance and discuss those hairy, complex issues.
Others will say you ought to just shoot for the clicks and the temporarily popularity.
Life is always challenging and often difficult. It doesn't matter who you are. Affluent people have some aspects of life easier than others. But, as long as you do everything that humans do, you're going to experience challenges and difficulties.
The big question, then, is – what do we do? Or, more specifically, do we react or respond?
When we take responsibility for our lives, we learn that there's a space between what happens to us and what we do about it. That space between stimulus and response is where wisdom and maturity lie. Maturity and our ability to respond to situations, not just react to them, go together. Maturity and this ability to respond bring perspective. And, perspective, in turn, changes how we see these challenges and difficulties.
I've often wondered if there's a shortcut to perspective.
There isn't, of course. Not in the way we think of shortcuts – life doesn't deal with narrow alleyways.
But, keeping a sense of humor is a trait I've found particularly helpful in ensuring perspective. Humor has a magical ability to bring perspective to any situation.
I am not naturally pre-disposed to humor as I grew up taking things very seriously. But, years of perspective and being surrounded by a couple of people who looked for the humor in the situation has slowly changed me. I've realized over the years that we all take our thoughts too damn seriously. Nearly everything that happens to us isn't a matter of life and death.
So, we should relax, find reasons to smile and, in that process, get perspective.
I still don't naturally find humor in most situation. But, I've begun looking for it. That's been a game changer and I'm hoping I continue to do that.
My hypothesis is that great products have 3 characteristics.
Last week, I wrote about nailing the job-to-be-done. Today, we'll take a quick look at what it means to be well designed. I say "quick look" because it is impossible to do justice to an overview on great design as there's so much to write about.
When we talk about a well designed product, most folks likely think of the iPhone. Beautiful and easy to use – what's not to like? My primary focus when I think of great design is going to focus on the latter – usability. Everything else is a bonus.
So, what is usability? The definition from usability guru Steve Krug works well here – a person of average (or even below average) ability and experience can figure out how to use the thing to accomplish something without it being more trouble than it is worth.
This sounds simple enough. But, it rarely is.
1. Does the user know what it takes to "win" in the product?
2. How easy is it for the user to win?
Users come to products to get some job done. Getting that job done is how they "win." For example, the job you might want to get done is – "I'd like to share my notes from XYZ conference to folks who'd be interested." You might debate between sending an email (private) or blogging (public). Assume you decide to go the public route, you'll probably debate between a bunch of sources – let's say Medium, LinkedIn and WordPress. Now, as a new user to Medium, LinkedIn, or WordPress, do you intuitively know what you need to do to post? And, is it easy?
Of course, you might want to get other jobs done, e.g., I want to get more social media followers or I want to learn and write more about artificial intelligence. If a large enough group of users want to use your product for a particular job, it is important for them to feel like they're winning in the product.
An app that does a really great job of this, in my opinion, is The Economist Espresso. Here's are 3 screenshots of the app from today.
The first is the home screen. You can click in to an article (which can generally be read in one glance or with a minor swipe down) and keep swiping. The checks indicate you are done. And, once you get done with all 7 of them, you get a screen that says "That's it!" with a nice quote.
This is a beautiful illustration of what it takes to make a simple app that gets the job done. The job users want to get done is to stay up-to-date. And, with this app, you can do so in 3 minutes or less. When you reach that last screen, you've won!
As an added bonus, the app is elegant as well. The Economist Espresso app's native ads (they show them once every couple of days) are the best I've seen. They show up when you swipe between articles and look gorgeous.
The design isn't without trade-offs. For example, none of the articles have external links to other Economist articles. They could, but they'd make the app more clunky and complicated. This is a pretty popular app and the team made a brave decision to not fill articles with links. They chose to keep it simple and beautiful and they've done a great job with it.
When designing products, consider prioritizing usability first.
When thinking about usability, I find it helpful to think about – does the user know what it takes to win? Is it easy for the user to win?
Building for usability is often driven more by leaving things out rather than adding things in.
Our default assumption is that what someone did caused the bad outcome.
But, more often than not, it is how we do things, not what we do, that causes issues. Bad performance is more often a result of questionable attitude than questionable skill.

I can tell you with a growl if you like, so…ROAR…I do not buy this statement. I am convinced that if you have a desire to play the piano, no matter how old you are, then the time is now. Move on with your dream.
In this blog we will concentrate on the various negative reasons that are running freely in your mind that are preventing you from following through and achieving your dream.
It definitely is a mind-game. Nothing else. The mind will play tricks on you as you know. It will tell you that "Hey, your mother told you 50 years ago the there will come a time when you will make foolish decisions" and you're now thinking that trying to learn piano at your age is one of those foolish decisions. Let me assure you that YOU are never too old to prove your mother wrong….well at least in this decision.
(1) Have an open mind, which means in effect, if I will clear my head of the negative nuances that creep in o-so-subtly, then I'm farther ahead of the game. Right! and in order to do that I need to change my mindset in terms of my age.
Listen you know you got older in a way that if you stop and think about we always say "Man, was that fast! It just seems like yesterday that I was in university".
That's just the way it is. Sadly, along with this realization it is also true that the second thought we have about the present age of our body is…. "Now I'm a senior and so I might as well give up trying to learn new things".
These are the negative points that haunt you. So you need to get those liars out of your mind and if you do you will have completed the first step toward accomplishing you dream.
(2) You now have Free-Time. Think about that for a minute and depending on how old you think "old" is you still have more free time on you hands than ever before usually. You may be in mid-life or a senior. Usually the mid-life years it's the time in your life whereby the kids are grown and either off to University or often at this point they are either seeking there own careers or are married, etc.
So, what I'm getting at is the fact that with a little rescheduling you should be able to free up more time than you know what to do with. Time is available and it is at your control so, really, if time is not an issue to your training for piano you know what is.
As a senior citizen time is your enemy anyway but in another way because you usually have too much of it on your hands. We seniors are always looking for something that we like that can fill our dreams and imaginations.
We will sit and read or watch soap-operas or look out the window for hours and unless we do something constructive before we know it another day in our lives has passed and we accomplished nothing. That is where we need to see that learning to play a piano even for a few hours per day will discard the feeling of uselessness due to old age. Ah, my friend, that has got to change and you can do it.
(3) Nothing Physically stopping you. You get up and walk across the floor and get the coffee on when you feel the need for stimulation. You can touch and feel and see and remember phone numbers and write emails and read the newspaper and play solitaire on your computer.
I mean if you can do even some of the points (and there are more of course go ahead and add to my list) that I have listed in this sentence you can learn to play the piano. There is NO DOUBT that you are a candidate to pick up where you left off as a kid when your mother sent you to all those piano lessons and somehow your dropped them later on in life.
You always wanted to return to them but you "thought" you got too old. Don't let these lessons fall by the wayside. Now is the time to continue where you left off all those years ago and I guarantee you that you will be surprised how quickly it will come flowing back to you.
(4) Passion, Motivation and Vision. You need to understand that playing the piano is not about when you start out or how old you are. It has all to do with how you are viewing life from in behind your own eyes. Passion by way of definition means: "A strong and barely controllable emotion".
Some synonyms for this word passion are Fervor, enthusiasm, zeal. It is the type of word that is worthy of our consideration and truly passion for, in the case, an ability is a driving force.
Without passion most of the greatest accomplishments in the history of the world would not have been accomplished. They say that Thomas Edison had such a passion as an inventor that, for instance, when he invented the electric light bulb he did it on his 1,000th try.
Motivation and Vision are two more driving forces in our lives. Motivation is the reason that we act the way we act or behave the way we behave when we are pursuing something. Vision is the minds view of what it will be like after the fact. You put all this together and you are well on your way to your goal of being a piano player. What motivates us to do the things we are able to do?
(5) Legacy that feeling of leaving something for the family and friends to talk about when you are gone. Who could not be amazed at the fact that you, in your reclining (so-called) years, was able to start and master the piano to a certain degree at his/her age.
Do you not see this as a stimulus for others who knew you and what about the family. I mean I will always talk about the feats of generational parents and also some of my relatives. Maybe that's the reason that I play seven different instruments and I never started any of them until I was 40 years old.
Let's face it my friends, you are older, yes, that's a fact but by being older you have many more things to offer man kind. You have more life experiences as an adult. Every person who is reading this blog right now can relate a story and indeed several stories of adventure, sorrow and immense jubilation. This has all made you wiser and smarter like a fox in many ways and will all come out in your piano playing.
If you think that the piano is not an emotional musical instrument you are mistaken.
Take a few minutes and right down just ten of your favorite songs. Now imagine you playing these wonderful tunes that have meant so much to you over the years.
I remember the first time I played Paul McCartney's great ballad "Yesterday". It was a feeling that gave me a new love for the melody of the song as well as the lyrics of it.
The feeling has not gone away and I tell you honestly these feelings visit your listeners also as they are brought to a different place in time as you play the piano songs that are buried deep in there subconscious.
You can do it and, as I see it, the only thing holding you back is …..you.

Long-term follow-up of symptomatic HIV-infected patients originally randomized to early versus later zidovudine treatment; report of a Veterans Affairs Cooperative Study. VA Cooperative Study Group on AIDS Treatment.
Following a 4-year controlled trial comparing early and later zidovudine treatment, we conducted an additional 3-year follow-up. Of the original 338 patients, 275 participated. Clinical outcome measures were AIDS and death. In the early therapy group (n = 170), 67 patients progressed to AIDS compared with 85 in the later therapy group (n = 168); the relative risk (RR) comparing early with later therapy was 0.72% (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.52-0.99; p = 0.044). The early therapy group had 74 deaths compared with 73 in the later therapy (RR = 0.98; 95% CI, 0.71-1.36; p = 0.91). The early group had a peak CD4+ count increase at 1-2 months and a delay of 1 year before CD4+ counts fell below baseline. For patients who received zidovudine for more than the median duration (20.3 months) before their first AIDS diagnosis, the RR for death was 2.08 (95% CI, 1.36-3.19, p = 0.001). Additional factors independently associated with poor prognosis following AIDS were a CD4+ count of < 100 cells/mm3 and increased severity of the first AIDS diagnosis, whereas use of another antiretroviral agent was associated with improved survival. We conclude that early zidovudine therapy delays progression to AIDS but does not affect survival. Patients who progress to AIDS while on prolonged zidovudine monotherapy many benefit from a change to other antiretroviral therapy(ies).

A thug who stabbed a black teenager to death in 2006 is released from prison.
Peter Connolly murdered Christopher Alaneme, 18, after the teen was chased by a gang of five white men on holiday on the Isle of Sheppey, Kent.
Nigerian-born Christopher grew up in Penge, south London, but had moved to the coastal town because he felt it was safer.
The teenager, who had lived in the Blue Town of Sheerness for about two years, was fatally stabbed in the abdomen during the attack on the High Street on April 21. He died about an hour later.
Peter Connolly (above), who stabbed a black teenager to death in 2006, is released from prison. Connolly, then 29, murdered Christopher Alaneme, 18, after the teenager was chased by a gang of five white men vacationing on the Isle of Sheppey, Kent
Maidstone Crown Court heard during Connolly's trial in 2007 that one of the five men had made a racist remark against Christopher, but the judge ruled the attack was not racially motivated.
Connolly, a painter and decorator from Peckham, South East London, who was 29 at the time, was sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum of 15 years.
However, after a trial hearing in November, Connolly has been found fit for release, according to The Sun.
Nigerian-born Christopher (above) grew up in Penge, south London, but had moved to the coastal town because he felt it was safer. The teenager, who had lived in the Blue Town area of Sheerness for about two years, was fatally stabbed in the abdomen during the attack on the High Street on April 21. He died about an hour later.
The probation service analyzed "hundreds of pages of evidence and reports" before reaching a decision.
A spokesperson for the Parole Board said: 'A panel will carefully examine a vast array of evidence, including details of the original crime, and any evidence of behavioral change, as well as the damage done and impact the crime has had on victims. .
Members read and digest hundreds of pages of evidence and reports in the run-up to a hearing.
"Parole assessments are conducted thoroughly and with the utmost care. Protecting the public is our number one priority.'
Five men, visiting Kent from London at the time, were charged with the murder of Christopher; three were charged with wounding with intent to attack another man, a white cabbie named Mark Davies who was stabbed but survived.
Four of the defendants were acquitted of all charges.

I would check the leady web page to see the cost of a new one first. When I got mine the chucks,faceplate rests and other pieces were part of the total package. It is a very good bit of gear however.
Hughie TY did you overhear Sue's and my conversation this morning :D have ok to upgrade.:2tsup: His lathe suits size wise.
Is that really a metre between centres?
Nice looking lathe. Don't think I'll mention it to LOML though. One lathe purchase a month, thanks!
I do like how the leadys are designed. I don't think new price is astronomically higer than that though (somewhere around $1400-1500, I think...), but I don't know what is included.
Just remembered where I saw the price.
You need to log in to see the prices though.
The Leady's got a lot going for it IMO.
A national and int'l agent.
The new ones come with 2 bed sections for a total of 1m between centres. I assume that's the same as this one.
I think a couple of the woodturning guilds around Sydney have them in service so it could be useful to see one in action before buying it.
thanks Dave. the description on ebay mentions "has the capacity" but doesn't mention the extra bed extensions. Probably me being picky.
the description on ebay mentions "has the capacity" but doesn't mention the extra bed extensions. Probably me being picky.
They all come with the extension when purchased new.This one strikes me as a good buy and I would take up the offer for the extra gear.
Totally agree,but hes not into it.
The Hornsby WTG has a Leady which we use for all the demos. The extension bed hinges at the tailstock end and is held up by a pair of tubular legs that clamp in place. It has quite a small footprint - maybe 500 x 700 mm, with a single cast housing rather than legs, and with the extension bed as an outrigger.
The motor sits in the cast base with V belt drive up to the headstock - about 5 speeds I think.
It is good to use, smooth and quiet, although we have had a problem with alignment between the headstock and the tailstock - needs a few shims I think. Ours has had the drill-press style tailstock feed replaced with a conventional screw thread system.
It does sound great, though the centres lining up issue bothered me a little as I like to do the occasional pen and that's the thing I didn't like about the MC1100. Nothing you couldn't overcome with something as solid and well made as the Leady though - it would be worth the effort.
It is good to use, smooth and quiet, although we have had a problem with alignment between the headstock and the tailstock - needs a few shims I think. .
No problem what so ever with mine...it is spot on in alignment.
What could have happened is that the head stock may have been moved back or forward and then not re-checked the alignment. Easily fogotten, but not wise :doh:.
Been very happy with its performance to date. Plus Bruce gave 3 x 1hr lessons for free when I bought it a year ago.
If the alignment is just a matter of the rotation of the head stock, there's a neat gizmo sold by Teknatool that is two morse tapers joined back to back. Stick one end in the head stock and the other in the tail stock, tighten them both up and you're good to go... Can't remember the name of it but Carrolls sells them I think.
Dave, that sounds really neat. If you do a lot of outboard turning, it would be a useful gadget to have.
I line mine up with the cone center in the tailstock. Bring it up to the headstock and put the cone point in the headstock morse recess, then lock down headstock. Lines up spot on. The lathe thet had the alignment problem is a different lathe with a hinged bed if you want to do center work.

Fruit soup is a soup prepared using fruit as a primary ingredient, and may be served warm or cold depending on the recipe. Some fruit soups use several varieties of fruit, and alcoholic beverages such as rum, sherry and kirsch (a fruit brandy) may be used.  Fruit soup is sometimes served as a dessert.

Many recipes are for cold soups served when fruit is in season during warm weather. Some, like Norwegian fruktsuppe, may be served warm or cold, and rely on dried fruit, such as dried prunes, apricots and raisins, thus being able to be prepared in any season. Fruit soups may include milk or cream, sweet or savoury dumplings, spices, or alcoholic beverages, such as sweet wine, white wine, brandy or champagne.

Varieties

Avocado soup is a fruit soup that can be prepared and served as a cold or hot dish.

Blåbärssoppa is a Swedish dish, that usually contains several kinds of berries (for example blueberries, bilberries, raspberries, strawberries and/or lingonberries), sugar, water and the optional cider or, less commonly nowadays, champagne. The berries, sugar and water are boiled together to make a soup, which is then allowed to cool. When it's cold, cider or champagne are added, which makes the soup fresher and slightly carbonated.

Coconut soup is a fruit soup that can be prepared using coconut milk and coconut fruit.

Sour cherry soup is a slightly sweet soup made with sour cream, sugar and whole fresh sour cherries, and served chilled. Originating in Hungarian cuisine, this soup is a summer delicacy in several European cuisines. It may be prepared using wine or port wine.

Starch, particularly potato starch, may be used to thicken fruit soups, to make kissel, a viscous dessert fruit dish.

By region and country

Cold and warm fruit soups are common in Baltic, Eastern European, Central European and Nordic cuisines (e.g. nyponsoppa, blåbärssoppa, kissel, hideg meggyleves and krentjebrij). Hot fruit soups appear in Middle Eastern, Central Asian and Chinese cuisines. Some fruit soups in these latter regions may also be served cold, and some may be prepared using meat as an ingredient.

China
Chilled mango soup and almond-fruit soup are dishes in Chinese cuisine. Almond-fruit soup may be served as a dessert.

Europe
Consumption of cold fruit soups is a tradition in the cuisine of Eastern Europe.

Nordic countries

I firmly believe that experiencing a traumatic event can bring to light health issues that have been lying beneath the surface of our skin. I know for myself, my state of health was made very well known to me after my Mother passed. My formerly clear skin, broke out into an angry aggression of cystic acne.
It's July and today I received a flyer in the mail from Joann's fabric. The header claims "Craftsmas in July" sale. Feelings of anxiety and grief flood my mind and tears come to my eyes. It's only July and already I have to be preparing for how to deal with emotions come Christmas time.
Grief was the big ticket that led me to my journey of nutrition and healing my body. I lost my Mother quickly and painfully and was left with a myriad of emotions I had to wade through. There was no jumping over it or going around it. I had to tackle it head on. Since my husband was being medically retired from the military and we had just transferred to our new duty station where I had yet to make a friend, I was stuck dealing with my grief on my own. It wasn't pleasant, but it did allow me the opportunity to learn a lot about myself and about how the body and mind heal.
Grief is easier to deal with when things are busy. Daily routines and structure provided me a safe shelter from having to face my feelings. Homeschooling my young girls, preparing meals for my family and keeping up with housework kept my mind occupied. In fact, the simplest time of my Mother's death was surrounding the memorial service and the days following. People were everywhere. Dropping by the house, bringing food. It was a sweet intermission for me so that I didn't have to face my new reality. I could talk with friends, share memories, and have a bite to eat all the while delaying the fate of my new reality.
I was surviving okay. I sobbed in my moments alone, but the structure of life kept me going. Then the holidays came. Thanksgiving and Christmas, especially, force everyone and everything to stop. Time seems to stand still. There is nowhere to run, nowhere to hide. I was forced to face my new reality. I was forced to recognize that my future with my Mother no longer existed. She was now only a beautiful memory and someone I will one day be reunited with in Heaven.
A large part of health and wellness isn't only the foods we eat, but also our emotional, mental and spiritual state. This can be frustrating because oftentimes it is easier to change what we eat than it is to face where we are emotionally.
If you are currently in a state of emotional trauma, stress or grievance I am here to encourage you and uplift you. Allow yourself time to go through these changes. Recognize any health concerns that have shown themselves to you during this time and realize that they may take a long time to heal. One lesson my experience has taught me is that sometimes you have to create a "new normal". This realization helped me heal so much. I still miss my Mother dearly and the thought of facing Christmas again without her here is very difficult. However, I realize that I must not expect things to be the way they were when she was alive. I must create a new normal, a new pattern, a new tradition. Treasuring each moment with my family I still have on this earth and looking forward to the day when once again I see my Mother's face.

We're helping to build an integrated health care system that better addresses health-harming social needs by leveraging legal services and expertise to advance individual and population health.
Medical-legal partnerships integrate the unique expertise of lawyers into health care settings to help clinicians, case managers, and social workers address structural problems at the root of so many health inequities.

The American Medical Association Board of Trustees, the American Academy of Pediatrics, and the American Bar Association have all released reports or resolutions calling on their members to engage in MLP activities.
But there's still a lot of work to do.
We want every health organization in the United States to leverage legal services as a standard part of the way they respond to social needs. The National Center for Medical-Legal Partnership leads education, research, and technical assistance efforts to help make that goal a reality.

Lebensweise
Die tagaktiven Tiere jagen auf Pflanzen nach kleinen Insekten, sie fressen aber auch tote Insekten. Gelegentlich ernähren sie sich auch von jungen Pflanzentrieben. Die Larven sind schwarz behaart und machen am Boden Jagd auf kleine Insekten und Schnecken. Sie sind sehr kälteresistent und kriechen an milden Wintertagen sogar auf Schnee umher. Nach einigen Häutungen verpuppen sie sich.

Only 20% of Plastic Water Bottles in America get Recycled? Huh?
There are a few topics that Americans don't like to talk about, they are for the most part topics I do like to talk and learn about; such as the failure of our prison system and our odd relationship with trash.
We have such a weird relationship to consumption and to trash. A friend who was visiting from Sweden this summer was talking about her country's campaign to get people aware of wasting food. She was raised in America and is astonished with our relationship to food after living overseas so long. I have often thought if we could raise people's awareness of not wasting food here we could resolve the problem of food insecurity that is a growing issue in America with the struggling economy.
It is an excellent film.
As if this isn't enough take a moment to listen to the Diane Rehm's WAMU radio program talking frankly about hoarding . This will bring new insights to this phenomena and bend your thinking about what you do and don't keep. Pass it on if you haven't used it in the past year… This is a bit like "Scared Straight" for people who have a tendency of being a pack rat!

Here Is What You Need To Know About Compassionate Allowances.
To say the Social Security Disability process is long is an understatement. It takes years for most claims to get approve and People get paused with useless Social security Myths. However, there are some exceptions to the rule.
The SSA recognizes certain conditions and disabilities in which expedition occurs. Formally, this list of conditions is known as Compassionate Allowance.
According to the SSA, Compassionate Allowances are a way to quickly identify diseases and other medical conditions that, by definition, meet Social Security's standards for disability benefits.
These conditions primarily include certain cancers, adult brain disorders, and a number of rare disorders that affect children. The Social Security Compassionate Allowance List (CAL) initiative helps the SSA reduce waiting time to reach a disability determination for individuals with the most serious disabilities.
Which conditions are on Social Security Compassionate Allowance List?
It's important to note that a diagnosis alone is not necessarily enough to qualify for the Compassionate Allowance expedition. For instance, breast cancer is on the list, but the severity of the condition also plays a part. In order for breast cancer to qualify for the list, it must be inoperable with distant metastases.
How can you file for a condition on the Compassionate Allowance List?
As long as your medical evidence backs up your disability claim, it will be expedited. However, one aspect that may hold up your claim is medical records. Your medical records may be held up by delays at your medical office. However, once your records are sent, you should receive an expedited decision.
Unfortunately, even the Compassionate Allowances program can't provide benefits immediately. Even with the expedited process, several factors such as the number of other applications, the speed of submitted medical evidence, and further required examinations can delay the decision.
However, most applicants do not have to wait long for their payments to start — most receive Compassionate Allowance benefits anywhere from a few weeks to 2 months after the application is received.
Overall, filing a disability claim while battling a condition on the Compassionate Allowance List can be difficult. If you'd like to know more about how to file for these claims, give us a call today for a free consultation. Our number is 1-877-526-3457. If you can't talk now, fill out this form so we may call you at a better time.

I am a family man and a creative person. I like to create art. Thanks to the advent of the computer age, I am able to bring most of my ideas to reality. Pictures, animations, funny things.
Most, but by no means all, of my art currently takes the form of 3D computer graphics. I use the free and open-source software Blender to create my 3D models and animate them. If I want to produce a photo-realistic image of my models, I use the free (but not open-source) software, Indigo.
Other than that, I have done many pencil portraits (from photo references) and a few paintings (traditional and CG). I've written poems, jokes, limericks. I've produced a few very short, very cheesy and slightly rubbish comedy videos.
I also love to sing. I love to get up in front of complete strangers (and I don't care how many) and sing. I'd prefer if the people were there to hear someone sing. That makes me look a little less strange, doesn't it?
Right now, living in London with my fiancée, Sarah, and my children, I feel that I am in a good place in my life. Well, maybe not the London part. But I love my family very much.
I am also a member on Bloopdiary.com (Big Bruv Bloop) which is a diary site owned and administrated by my younger brother, Steve.
And, on a final note, I only ever wear glasses for costume ;).


In the past ten years, Lobsang created Art of Compassion tours and has lead Tibetan monks from the Gyumed Monastery in Southern India to Russia and United States. During the tours, he exhibited Tibetan Arts by creating sand Mandela paintings and butter sculptures, arranged Tibetan cultural performances, introduced Tibetan medicines, and gave lectures about meditation, peace, and the Art of Compassion presentation. He also invited celebrities such as Richard Gere and Robert Thurman to Tibet Festival 2004 in Russia to be part of the program. Lastly, the monks chanting concert for the universal purification was the most popular and successful event in Russia.
Lobsang learned traditional Tibetan sculpture, painting, the fine art of sand painting (sand mandalas), as well as creating butter sculptures for ceremonies and rituals. He has practiced these traditional arts since he was very young, and now offers classes for children in contemporary air dry clay sculptures. Please visit Palace of Arts!
