Germany's Ralf Eckert ran a perfect 100 ball run in his race to 100 round robin match against USA's Dan Louie. Even better was Pat Fleming had picked the match for Accu-Stats streaming, and it turned out to be a wise choice. Eckert's fellow Germans also had another good day staying undefeated on Day 2 of the Predator 69th World 14.1 Championship presented by Ozone Billiards. The Dragon Promotions revived event is in its 4th consecutive year alive with help of industry giants such as Predator, Ozone Billiards, Brunswick Billiards, Simonis Cloth, Master Chalk, Aramith Balls, Accu-Stats and the Laser Rack. Comet Billiards will host this year's event which will start play on August 24, 2009 and end August 29. The greatest straight pool players from around the world will arrive on USA's east coast again to New Jersey, and attend this prestigious event to play for the coveted title of World Straight Pool Champion.
Women's champ Yu Ram Cha won a close 100-87 match against legendary Grady Mathews. Though 3x younger than the Professor and vastly outnumbered in 14.1 knowledge, Cha's shotmaking kept it close and she pulled out the win. Cha later led 75-50 against NYC's Danny Barouty before Barouty out safetied her and clawed back a 100-75 win. Gerda Hofstatter lost a disappointing 100-43 to Shaun Wilkie, but bounced back with a win over Bill Dunsmore. Cha must win at least 1 out of the 2 remaining matches to qualify and faces group top seed Allen Hopkins and NYC's strong Jim Gottier. Hofstatter is also in the same spot but will have her hands full with Group leader Charlie Williams and top men's pro Tony Robles.
Germany's Ralf Eckert ran a perfect 100 ball run in his race to 100 round robin match against USA's Dan Louie. Even better was Pat Fleming had picked the match for Accu-Stats streaming, and it turned out to be a wise choice.
Corey Deuel leads Group 6 without any player barely passing 50 points against him and holding 2 opponents to less than a rack of points. Group 8 saw Charlie Williams make a small upset over more seasoned 14.1 player Tony Robles 100-56 to stay undefeated and the leader. Johnny Archer stays undefeated and leads Group 4 while Mika Immonen also stays the leader in Group 3 so far untested. France's Stefan Cohen stays brilliant with his 3 wins including 100-62 over throwback African American champ Earl Herring. Group 7 looks like will be a showdown between NJ/NY legens Allen Hopkins and Danny Barouty for the top seed in Group 7. The top seeds through the round robin will get a bye the first round of the next stage of race to 150 double elimination.
The German doomsday squad of Oliver Ortmann, Thorsten Hohmann, and Ralf Eckert are all undefeated and look very unlikely to lose their #1 spots in their groups.

In the years leading up to the June 30 Revolution, Egypt's Coptic community suffered greatly from the absence of a unified church-building law, a law, which the Copts had been waiting for, was finally passed by the end of 2016.
Dr. Maḥmūd Mihannā, member of the Senior Scholars Council of Al-Azhar University, Egypt, said that the adoption of a bill that criminalizes atheism is an eligible right in Islamic judiciary, and that it entitles the ruler to punish the atheist in case he or she does not give up atheism.
Al-Azhar's pavilion at the Cairo International Book Fair presents dozens of books refuting misconceptions and fallacies of extremist thought and terrorist groups, and emphasizing the need for renovation, moderate understanding, as the cornerstone of al-Azhar curriculum.
Church sources said that the Copts living in the United States of America refuse all attempts made to intervene in internal Egyptian affairs, in particular under the pretext of protecting them from alleged persecutions.
Egyptian Churches' leaderships have emphasized that neither they nor their representatives will receive or meet with US Vice President Mike Pence, who is due to visit Egypt this week, stressing that Copts' issues are internal affairs of Egypt.

I co-organized the session Disciplines in Transition: Postwar Encounters Between Design, Mathematics and Engineering, in the 2016 BSHS, CSHPS, and HSS joint Meeting at the University of Alberta. The session interrogated disciplinary osmoses between design, engineering, and the mathematical sciences after the Second World War with papers by Daniel Cardoso Llach, Clare Kim (session co-organizer) and myself, and an astute commentary by John Harwood. Daniel Cardoso's presentation Maps Laced With Data: Designing the Computational Image, Imagining Computational Design, 1959-1970 tracked the theories about design formulated by engineers and mathematicians working in the Computer-Aided Design Project. Looking beyond the university setting, Clare Kim's paper Mathematics Meets Design: Ray and Charles Eames and the Aesthetics of the Mathematica Exhibit considered the design-influenced interpretation of mathematical theories that emerged in postwar museum exhibits. Investigating influences of mathematics and computation to design theory, my paper "To See in a Hard Intellectual Light": Graph Theory and Design Theory in the LUBFS Centre examined the uses and meanings of graph theory within the scientizing and rationalizing work of the LUBFS Centre in the early 1970s.


"He Doesn't Touch the Blood" by Molly Anderson from Wilde Magazine: A Magazine of Art and Literature with a Queer Edge, Issue One, Winter 2012. Edited by Lucia Guatney.
Thomas and Matthew met as kids, cabin mates at Concordia Language summer camp. Matthew was the wilder one, gifted with an aura of mystery by virtue of having epilepsy. Faced with mortality, he projected a fierce self-confidence that made him cooler than the other boys. The fact that his family was well off also didn't hurt. Thomas fell hard for him but also felt inferior to him. His consolation was being Matthew's confidant, trusted with the knowledge of what to do in the event of a seizure, to save Matthew's life.
Fast forward ten years. They are lovers and roommates, and the tables have turned. Matthew is cut off from his family (has he been disowned?). Thomas is a waiter at the local Chinese restaurant. He's been the sole provider for years. Matthew spends his days sulking, wondering how his life ended up like this. He compares himself to Thomas, and feels inferior because he struggles to comprehend the books on Thomas' shelves.
That's the thing. Their individual self esteem issues leave them so resentful they're missing the opportunity to really love and be loved by one another. A turn of events at the end of the story leaves the reader wondering if they've lost the chance for good, and just how far that resentment might have pushed things for one of them.

Politics and human rights
Poroshenko strips political opponent Mikheil Saakashvili of his Ukrainian citizenship
President Poroshenko and Mikheil Saakashvili in 2015 2
The Saakashvili case: politicians kill the law
Is President Poroshenko turning to selective stripping of Ukrainian citizenship?
Poroshenko law could strip huge numbers of Ukrainians of their citizenship
Ukrainian citizens are now a group at risk in Russian-occupied Crimea
Russia backtracks over Ukrainian citizenship in Crimea
The official reason why Mikheil Saakashvili has been stripped of the Ukrainian citizenship he was ceremoniously granted in May 2015 is that he concealed criminal proceedings against him in his native Georgia. The move comes shortly after President Petro Poroshenko visited Georgia and two days after the President changed the composition of the Committee on Citizenship whose opinion is supposed to form the basis of his decisions.
The news also broke while Saakashvili is in the United States. Since Georgia stripped him of his Georgian citizenship in December 2015 because of his having taken on Ukrainian citizenship, it is possible that the former Georgian President and ex-Governor of the Odesa Oblast will apply for political asylum in America. According to media reports, Saakashvili has an arrest warrant hanging over him on the ominously loose charges of exceeding his powers back in Georgia, which means that if he does apply for asylum, he may well get it.
This can hardly do Ukraine's reputation any good. Nor can any of the Ukrainian and international media reports. Reuters has noted that the move against Poroshenko's one-time ally spells the end of his political aspirations in Ukraine and points out that the party Saakashvili formed after bitterly criticizing Poroshenko and resigning from his governor's post in December last year is lobbying for early elections. Draw your conclusions.
The Migration Service has produced a statement giving the official grounds for the move, and asserting that it was taken after information was received from Georgia and considered by the committee on citizenship.
Few commentators in the media and social networks seem convinced. Mustafa Nayyem may be an MP in the Bloc of Petro Poroshenko, but pulls no punches in calling this the stupidest thing the President could have done. The only thing more idiotic, he continues, was the imprisonment of the leader of the opposition Yulya Tymoshenko under ex-President Viktor Yanukovych.
One problem with the information that Saakashvili purportedly concealed is that it was fairly publicly known that there was a cloud over him in Georgia. If the Georgian authorities have now revealed something else, then one wonders why they are not seeking his extradition. If that is now a problem, as they removed his citizenship, what is Ukraine doing turning a person invited to help in Ukraine's reforms into a stateless person?
Radio Svoboda reports that on July 26, a Ukrainian court issued an arrest warrant against former Kyiv Mayor Leonid Chernovetsky who later gained Georgian citizenship and even stood for election in the Georgian parliament.
This is not the first controversial move depriving people of their Ukrainian citizenship. In early May, it was learned that controversial MP Andriy Artemenko had also lost his citizenship, with the grounds given in his case, and that of Sasha Borovik, being that they held dual nationality which is in theory illegal, but widely held in Ukraine. The two cases were very different, but both of concern.
Artemenko was very widely criticized in February this year after being named in a New York Times article entitled A Back-Channel Plan for Ukraine and Russia, Courtesy of Trump Associates. Artemenko was described as one of US President Donald Trump's connections in Ukraine, who was proposing a 'peace plan for Ukraine and Russia' which would give Trump a way of lifting sanctions against Russia.
According to the report, Artemenko, "who sees himself as a Trump-style leader of a future Ukraine, claims to have evidence — "names of companies, wire transfers" — showing corruption by the Ukrainian president, Petro O. Poroshenko, that could help oust him. And Mr. Artemenko said he had received encouragement for his plans from top aides to Mr. Putin." Hardly surprising if it proposed a referendum on whether Crimea would be "leased to Russia" for 50 or 100 years.
Any so-called 'peace plan' is unacceptable to Ukraine, and Artemenko was promptly expelled from his party. A criminal investigation was later initiated on suspicion of treason, and then he was stripped of his citizenship which, of necessity, meant that he also lost his post as MP. He asserted that he did not have Canadian citizenship.
The situation with Sasha Borovik is more akin to that with Saakashvili in that Borovik was also initially invited to Ukraine. He told Radio Svoboda that he had come in 2015 as a member of the Ukrainian Diaspora and citizen of Germany, following negotiations between himself, Germany and the Ukrainian government.
He had not taken on another country's citizenship after becoming a Ukrainian citizen, which is one of the grounds in the Constitution for a person losing their citizenship. He had simply not renounced his German passport, which everybody was doubtless aware of back in 2015. In 2017, that was used as a weapon against him.
The grounds in all three men's cases can be used – or not – against many other people as well.

Kamikaze attack on USS Missouri, humanity in the midst of war
By Marisa Griffin.
Japanese kamikaze pilot
A man sits alone with his thoughts in his one-man, bomb-carrying aircraft on April 11, 1945. He has said goodbye to his family and friends through farewell letters and poems and he has left behind the life he once lived. He sits wedged between 550-pound bombs and prepares to take off, knowing he will never land safely again. Motivated by obligation and loyalty, he is about to give his life for his country. He is a Japanese kamikaze pilot whose mission is to fly his aircraft to his death into the USS Missouri during the battle of Okinawa in World War II.
The tell-all tour
On Sept. 22, 2010 Pearl Harbor volunteer and USS Missouri expert Rich Costick led University of Hawaii's journalism students on a special VIP tour of the Iowa-class battleship, the USS Missouri. As he tells the stories of the ship's memorable past, we walk the deck, thinking back to what it must have been like on board.
He tells us of the historical moment that Japan's surrender to the Allied Forces document was signed on board the Mighty Mo on Sept. 2, 1945, ending WWII. We even learn how they loaded the 67-foot, 116-ton guns that could fire a 2,700-pound shell 23 miles in 50 seconds.
A story to remember
One story, in particular, that caught my attention was that of the Tokkotai (an abbreviation for "Special Attack Unit") pilots, also known to Americans as "Kamikaze." I read the information boards on the deck of the ship and stood in awe looking at the pictures of the Japanese A6M "Zero" aircraft dive-bombing into the side of the USS Missouri. The famous picture was taken by the ship's baker, Seamen Len Schmidt.
The incident occurred 10 days into the battle of Okinawa. The pilot, believed to be 19-year-old Setsuo Ishino, took off with 15 other pilots from their base at Kanoya. At noon, the USS Missouri is northeast of Okinawa and air defense is sounded as the "Zeke" is spotted on radar 7,500 yards out. The Zeke loses altitude rapidly as Mighty Mo's anti-aircraft fire hits. Miraculously, the pilot regains altitude and speeds through the gunfire, managing to strike the side of Mighty Mo. Fire erupts and debris is sent flying on deck. After the attack, the crew clears the deck of the aircraft's remains and discovers the pilot's body among the wreckage.
As Mighty Mo's seamen were about to wash the enemy body overboard, Captain William M. Callaghan, Missouri's commanding officer, orders the ship's medical team to prepare the body for a burial at sea.
The body was draped with a Japanese flag sewn by Missouri crew and carried on deck. The crew gathered and offered a hand salute as the Marine rifles aim their weapons skyward to render a salute over the pilot's remains. Senior Chaplain, Commander Roland Faulk, concludes the ceremony by saying, "We command his body to the deep," and his body is dropped into the ocean.
Humanity, equality, honor
This ceremony holds an important significance in our history because of the respect and honor given to the enemy by the Americans amidst a raging war. Costick explains Captain Callaghan's admirable dignity and honor. Costick tells us that he "looked at it as..this man is serving in his military the same as any of us are, he's just doing his job. And he's performed with honor and paid the ultimate price. He deserves to be treated like a warrior. The fact that the ceremony was held and that this man was treated this way showed a lot of compassion on the part of Callaghan."
I try to imagine what it must have been like for 19-year-old Ishino's family at the time. To find out their son received the respect and honor from the American enemy must have been life-changing news for them. He was treated as if he was an American soldier, dying for his country.
Kamikaze attack on USS Missouri: The last bit of information I read before moving on with our tour was, "On April 11, 2001, family members of three Japanese pilots as well as the family of former commanding officer Captain William M Callaghan gathered aboard Missouri to honor the courage and compassion in recognizing our common humanity …even in the midst of war." This inspiring story restores our faith in humanity and the pure goodness that exists in some people's hearts.

UNDERWORLD and IGGY POP – " Teatime Dub Encounters " EP
Posted: June 28, 2018 in MUSIC
Tags: Caroline International, Iggy Pop, Teatime Dub Encounters EP, Underworld
Last month, British electronic godheads Underworld teamed with American Garage punk Iggy Pop for a surprise collaborative track, "Bells & Circles." It was a transfixing composition, Underworld's charging and pulsating electronic backdrop underpinning a sort of intensifying spoken-word poem from Pop. The tone was also a curious one, with Pop reminiscing about the days where you could smoke on airplanes and hit on flight attendants, things it is quite plausible Pop legitimately misses. And yet, there was something more going on there, like he was doing some kind of performative piss-take on "Those were the days"-type recollections. "Bells & Circles" was more engaging than it needed to be given that the pedigree of the artists involved alone made it interesting.
This was the lead single and opening track of a full EP from Underworld and Pop, titled Teatime Dub Encounters and due out at the end of July. The origins of the project go back to when Underworld were supervising the soundtrack to last year's Trainspotting sequel.
As you might recall, the first Trainspotting soundtrack was iconic and influential, and the film was bookended by an Iggy Pop classic and Underworld's soon-to-be-classic "Born Slippy " they all met up in London to discuss the prospect of writing new music for the second Trainspotting given their shared connection to the original.
Apparently Underworld's Rick Smith set up basically a whole studio in a hotel room, and they all did a few low-key sessions. Here's what Pop had to say about the process:
When you are confronted with somebody who has a whole bloody studio there in the hotel room, a Skyped director who has won the Oscar recently, and a fucking microphone in front of you and 30 finished pieces of very polished music, you don't want to be the wimp that goes "Uh uhhh," so my mind was racing.
The idea of Iggy Pop of all people being somewhat intimidated is really something! None of the material they worked on there wound up on the T2 Trainspotting soundtrack in the end, But for now that it's been compiled for Teatime Dub Encounters.
Along with the announcement, they also shared a second song from the EP, "I'll See Big." The new single is quite a different beast than "Bells & Circles." A celestial, ambient composition, "I'll See Big" provides an impressionistic piece for Pop to once more go into spoken-word meditation mode. This time around, it's a lot less frantic, and a lot more ruminative, Pop's age giving him a natural gravity and grit in his voice as he reflects on friendships through the decades, and what a few might think of him when he's gone. The lyrics were supposedly inspired by a conversation Pop had with Trainspotting director Danny Boyle about the film's underlying core themes of friendship.

Brigham Young Academy was founded in 1875.
Native Americans were the first group to call Utah County home. But the first European men to "discover" the valley were most likely Father Escalante and Father Dominguez and their party of Spanish explorers on Sept. 23, 1776.
Until the mid-1850s, Utah County was inhabited by various trappers and mountain men. The first permanent settlers in the valley were Mormon pioneers sent from the Salt Lake area by Brigham Young in 1849.
Provo was the first settlement in the valley and got its name from the Provo River, which was named after the mountain man Etienne Provost. Other communities were officially founded in 1850, including Alpine, American Fork, Lehi, Pleasant Grove, Payson and Springville.
The county was first governed by Mormon church leaders until the General Assembly of the State of Deseret decreed on January 28, 1850, that "Utah Valley shall be called Utah County" and established Provo as the county seat.
In 1854, the first library opened in Provo and an official U.S. Post Office opened in 1894. Brigham Young Academy was established in 1875 after Brigham Young issued a deed of trust to create the school.


In his first children's book written in Dutch, Antillean writer and dramatist Roland Colastica makes it abundantly clear that Curaçao is more than an exotic paradise, using evocative language to sketch an island society where young and old are still burdened by the colonial past, and black and white are at times diametrically opposed.
The unspoken friendship between Colastica's black protagonist, thirteen-year-old Jurcell, and the elusive Gerrit, a 'makamba' (white Dutch person), is symbolic of the tensions between the original population of Curaçao and the former Dutch occupier. The boys are classmates, play football together and both have difficult home lives. They get along pretty well, but their background and the colour of their skin makes it impossible for them to admit that. This becomes even more true when they get involved in an armed street war between rival youth gangs.
From the very first pages, this gang war produces action-packed scenes that make *Fireworks in My Head *a genuinely exciting story. Colastica makes clever use of a number of historical stories to demonstrate how the pain of the people of Curaçao is a direct result of their past of slavery.
Fortunately, Colastica preaches hope and his book is about more than the links between slavery and racism. The Antillean writes naturally and captures realistic, likeable characters on the page. He also succeeds in stimulating the reader's senses. You can feel the magic of this exotic island. You see and smell the lush colours and intoxicating scents of the beautiful blossoms. You hear the splash and roar of the crystal-clear sea: Curaçao is a multicoloured island in every respect. Colastica has captured its beauty and diversity in this magnificent children's book.
Fireworks in My Head is a charming book that provides an insight into contemporary society on the island of Curaçao in a way that is unique in children's literature.
Roland Colastica has written a book that brings to life Curaçao in all its many aspects […] a book with a hopeful message, for which we have had to wait a long time.

Say No to Latinas, Italians, African Americans, and One-Legged Men
Wednesday, May 27, 2009 by Gary DeMar
So a "Latina" has been nominated by Barack Obama to replace the retiring David Souter. Please explain to me how her ethnicity should make any difference. If Sonia Sotomayor were living in Puerto Rico, would her ethnicity be a factor? Of course not! So why should it matter in the United States? It shouldn't. Her judicial philosophy should. But in today's political climate, it's all about ethnic and racial divisions.
By the way, Sotomayor was born in New York. Compare her to Miguel Estrada who was born in Honduras and immigrated to the United States when he was 17 with a limited command of English. He graduated magna cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa with a bachelor's degree from Columbia in 1983. He received a Juris Doctor (J.D.) degree magna cum laude in 1986 from Harvard Law School, where he was an editor of the Harvard Law Review. He was nominated in 2001 by President Bush to the United States Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. The Senate Democrats used a filibuster to prevent his nomination from being given a final confirmation vote on the full Senate floor. Apparently, Estrada's story wasn't compelling enough. Of course, we know better. It was because he wasn't the right kind of Latino.
Is there an ethnic way to interpret the Constitution? "I simply do not know exactly what the difference will be in my judging," she said in a speech in 2001. "But I accept there will be some based on my gender and my Latina heritage." Does Antonin Scalia apply some sort of Italian interpretive paradigm when he studies a case and writes an opinion? So far I haven't detected one.
When Mario Cuomo was running for president, I kept hearing how he would get a large percentage of the Italian vote. Why? Because he's Italian! What nonsense. If Cuomo had run for political office in Italy, he would have been just another Italian, and voters would have assessed his candidacy based (mostly) on his political philosophy.
My grandparents were born in Italy and immigrated to the United States. They did not have a good command of the English language. My mother grew up in a three-bedroom house with her 11 brothers and sisters. The boys slept in one bedroom and the girls in another. My wife and I visited my 87-year-old mother over the weekend. Carol had never seen the house where my mother lived as a child. The house is very small. My mother grew up poor and, you could say, disadvantaged. I can remember years ago when she had our next door neighbor in tears as she matter-of-factly told her that she never had a doll. A sad story, but not something to put on her resume if she had been nominated to the Supreme Court. My father's family was just as poor. One moe thing. My father's right leg was blown off in Korea and we lived in the projects for a few years after he was discharged from Walter Reed Hospital. Heart renching, maybe, but not relevant when it comes to picking someone for a job as significant as the Supreme Court.
I don't recall ever hearing my grandparents or my parents saying, "We sure hope we get an Italian on the court. Our lives would be so much better." Their lives were better because they worked hard even though they started out disadvantaged. Being an immigrant was tough two generations ago. "Dago" and "WOP" were derogatory epithets that they heard often enough. My grandfather changed the family name from DeMario to DeMar. My father, whose birth cirtificate carries the name "Antonio Josephe DeMario," went by "Tony DeMar." The goal was to be an American, not a hyphenated American.
Even so, we were Italian thru and thru. Don't take my comments as a suggestion that our life's circumstances don't shape who we are or how we think. Once the black robe is put on the Constitution becomes the standard that should apply equally to all. Justice may be blind, but she's not to be ignorant of the facts and their application to "the law of the land." Being a one-legged man, an Italian, a Latino, or a Black woman should make no difference. Making exceptions in one case will lead to exceptions in all cases.
I'm always amazed that it's the liberals who focus on sex, race, gender, and ethnicity while claiming that we should live in a "colorblind society." We can't, because they won't let us. They continually remind us that we are a "divided country." Yes, we are, and they are the ones doing the dividing.

Senior Carson Thoma has sights set on returning to state tournament at No. 1 Singles.
Guided by the steady play of Carson Thoma and the emotional energy of Harrison St. Claire, Broken Arrow boys tennis team has "exceeded expectations" by the season's midpoint.
While seniors Thoma and St. Claire are leading the charge, a few underclassmen have extended the team's depth. Junior Cole Hueber, who was playing on the Tiger soccer team last spring, and Sawyer Paris are adding strength in doubles, while sophomore Connor Collins has found comfort at No. 2 singles. In fact, Collins has won seven straight matches, winning two tournament championships and his match in Tuesday's home dual with Claremore.
Stacked with a team in which most of the girls didn't pick up a tennis racket until middle school, Collins has stirred rapid development in her players.
"It has been exciting to see them begin to understand advanced concepts in doubles and singles strategy and learn how to construct a point," she said.
Perhaps no greater example of the swift improvement can be found than in that of No. 2 singles player, junior Sheridan Reeder, who didn't start playing tennis until ninth grade. Reeder has a third place tournament finish and two consolation championships this season. She also has a winning record.
A fourth first-time varsity start is senior Nathan Zilmer, who has been mixed with St. Clair, Hueber and Paris as Milner seeks his best doubles combination.
"Nathan's physique – length and height – give him a really good edge in doubles," the coach said. "I can expect a lot of contributions from him."Of the varsity-experienced seniors, St. Claire is the one of two players – Thomas is the other – who returns with state tournament experience, playing No. 1 Doubles last year. He spent some time at a year ago as well. Milner likes what St. Clair brings to a doubles team and expects he will see the blonde-haired senior back at the Oklahoma City Tennis Center in May.
"It helps to have Harrison at doubles," Milner said. "He brings a lot of emotion and intensity into every single match that he plays.
"Doubles is all about momentum swings and getting into the match. Whenever he's does that playing with a junior he's able to be a good role model with that intensity and that fire.
Thoma, who has signed to play college tennis at Oklahoma Baptist University, has become a constant, dependable leader for the team.
Both the girls and boys teams are hosting eight-team tournaments Monday and Tuesday at the Broken Arrow High School Courts. The girls will be in action Monday, while the boys play Tuesday.

Mia Malone conjures up delicacies while casting about for clues in New York Times bestselling author Lynn Cahoon's Two Wicked Desserts, continuing her Kitchen Witch Mystery series...
Magic Springs, Idaho, may be a small town, but Mia Malone is living an enchanted life running her own catering business and cooking school. And while she's teaching the locals culinary craft, her grandmother is teaching her witchcraft for the day she inherits the family magical spells that have been passed down for generations. Unfortunately, all that knowledge is not helping Mia or her grandmother in removing the spirit of warlock Dorian Alexander from Mia's cat Mr. Darcy.
But even though Dorian hasn't yet left this earthly plane, his spells have already been transferred to his daughter Cindy's grimoire. An actress looking for her big Hollywood break, Cindy is hoping there's something in her father's bag of tricks to make her a star. But playing with magic has only resulted in a trip to Idaho where Cindy finds herself the number one suspect in the murder of a hitman whose body was found in the garden of Mia's Morsels. Now it's up to Mia to conjure up a killer before everything she's worked so hard for vanishes with a poof!
A murder leads to a string of shocking revelations for bookstore owner Tricia Miles in the latest entry to Lorna Barrett's New York Times bestselling Booktown series.
Tricia Miles has just received a second marriage proposal within fifteen minutes. The first was from her friend with benefits, Marshall Chambers, and the second from her ex-lover, police chief Grant Baker. Tricia's got some serious thinking to do.
She's still weighing her options when she hears the sound of an engine roaring down Main Street. It's a big white pickup truck that aims for and hits Marshall as he's walking back to his apartment. Tragically, he's killed, leaving Tricia feeling bereft and guilty. She retreats to her sister, Angelica's, apartment to wait for Baker to update her on what happened. While there, Tricia takes Angelica's dog out for a comfort call behind the building, and the same white pickup roars up the alley and just misses hitting Tricia.
Still shaken by that news, Tricia returns to Haven't Got a Clue and is met by federal marshal Kirby, who tells her that Marshall had been in the Federal Witness Protection Program. Everything Marshall told Tricia was a lie--in particular, that he was a widower. Was his death an act of revenge?
Tricia's on the hunt for a killer, and it seems like she might be next on the list.
National bestselling author Vicki Delany's delightful Tea by the Sea mystery series continues, as Cape Cod tearoom proprietress and part-time sleuth, Lily Roberts, stirs up trouble when she unwittingly serves one of her grandmother's B&B guests a deadly cup of tea...
Lily has her work cut out for her when a visit from her grandmother Rose's dear friend, Sandra McHenry, turns into an unexpected--and unpleasant--McHenry family reunion. The squabbling boils over and soon Tea by the Sea's serene afternoon service resembles the proverbial tempest in a teapot. Somehow, Lily and her tearoom survive the storm, and Sandra's bickering brethren finally retreat to Rose's B & B. But later that evening, a member of their party--harmless Ed French--dies from an apparent poisoning and suddenly Tea by the Sea is both scene and suspect in a murder investigation!
Mercifully, none of the other guests fall ill. They all ate the same food, but Ed insisted on bringing his own special blend of herbal teas. So it seems, amid the whining and dining, someone snuck up to one of Lily's cherished teapots and fatally spiked Ed's bespoke brew, but who? Was it Ed's long-estranged sister-in-law? Did teenage troublemaker Tyler take a prank too far? Or perhaps the family's feuds have been steeping for longer than anyone realizes? It's up to Lily, Rose, and their friends to get to the bottom of the poisoned pot and bag the real culprit behind the kettle murder plot.
Plus-sized PI Savannah Reid doesn't shy away from high-profile cases with the Moonlight Magnolia Detective Agency. But when an upscale party ends with murder, drawing clues from famous guests may prove trickier than squeezing into an old pair of jeans...
For the first time in recent memory, Savannah has no guilt about indulging in personal interests before her career. Between being a mom to her new foster son and arranging a lavish wedding for her sister, things are messy, unpredictable, and delightfully fulfilling. She even gains an impressive friend: Dr. Carolyn Erling, a caring veterinarian with a deeper story than her down-to-earth nature suggests . . .
When Savannah attends a birthday bash for Dr. Carolyn's husband, she's astonished to find that her no-frills acquaintance resides in a pristine hilltop mansion with Dr. Stephen Erling, a jet-setter brain surgeon boasting throngs of A-list patients around the globe. Before Savannah can get a headcount on the mingling celebrities, Dr. Stephen has one too many champagne toasts and drops dead.
With a poisonous residue found inside Dr. Stephen's glass, the search is on for the killer who spiked his drink. Motivated to set things right for a devastated Dr. Carolyn, Savannah must infiltrate the elite world of foreign dignitaries and Oscar-winning stars to identify the guilty culprit--or prepare to kiss this happy chapter in her life goodbye.

Lawyer Andy Carpenter and his golden retriever, Tara, work to free a man who risked it all to help a dog in need
Lawyer Andy Carpenter and his wife, Laurie, enjoy walking their dogs, Tara and Sebastian. By this point in their marriage, it's routine. When out for one of their strolls, their simple ritual isn't so simple anymore. Across the street, a man is mistreating his dog. Three things happen at once: Andy yells, Laurie runs to stop the abuse, and so does a closer passerby, who so thoroughly beats the owner that both are arrested when the cops arrive.
Andy scoops up the dog and takes him to the Tara Foundation, the dog rescue organization that's always been his true passion. Meanwhile, at the police station, the passerby is identified as Matthew Jantzen, and he's wanted for murder. Andy and Laurie are struck by the fact that Jantzen, a man on the run, would nevertheless intervene to help a dog, and decide to find out more.
Dog Eat Dog, the twenty-second installment in the Andy Carpenter series, features the charming cast of characters - old and new - that David Rosenfelt is known for and the dogs that accompany them.
As witch and vintage store owner Lily Ivory steps into her new role as leader of the Bay Area's magical community, she's faced with a mysterious death of magical proportions...
Strange things are happening in Lily Ivory's San Francisco. First, she finds a vintage mermaid costume which dates from the 1939 San Francisco's Treasure Island World's Fair - and which gives off distinctly peculiar vibrations. Next, she stumbles upon a dead man in the office of her predecessor, and as the community's new leader, she feels compelled to track down the culprit. Just when Lily thinks things can't get any stranger, a man appears claiming to be her half-brother, spouting ideas about the mystical prophecy involving San Francisco and their family...
When the dead man is linked to the mysterious mermaid costume, and then yet another victim is found on Treasure Island, Lily uncovers ties between the long-ago World's fair and the current murders, and begins to wonder whether the killer might be hiding in plain sight. But unless Lily can figure everything out in time, there may be yet another body floating in San Francisco Bay.

It creams my corn to think I've been accused of murder.
I'm a handyman in the Daniel Boone National Park. My main employer is Mae West at the Happy Trails Campground.
When I got a phone call to take down some trees on this guy's property for a side hustle, I jumped at the chance. That's one of the biggest money making jobs around these parts.
Unfortunately I got hauled off to jail after I was accused of being part of an illegal logging crew. Simple enough, I gave Sheriff Hank Sharp the name of the man who hired me, only he was found murdered by one of my tools.
Not only am I accused of illegal logging, now I'm the number one suspect in this man's murder.
It just creams my corn to be accused of murder.
There's only one person I trust to get me out of this mess and that's Maybelline West.
I'm sure she, along with her nosy friends, the Laundry Club Ladies, will snoop around to help clear my name.
Sydney Whitmore, a forensic psychologist living in San Francisco, moves home to Shipwreck Island, and the resort owned and operated by her family, after tragedy strikes leaving her struggling for a way to make sense of things.

It's Yard Sale day!
I'm excited and exhausted all at the same time! LOL
My goodness, a lot goes into getting one of these ready.
It will be worth it though. Getting lots of clutter out of the house, and making some money for more clutt . . . um, essential things. 😉
I've had a lot of yard sales in my life. Endless hours of pricing things, displaying them just right on the tables to give them eye appeal, and so on. But not this time. No way. Everything at this yard sale is only $1.00!
Big or small, each item is only $1.00! And things get put on the tables just anywhere. No stress this time!
Well, it's time to get some more done.
Have a great Saturday everyone!

PORK CHOPPED TO DEATH
You know what they say, you are what you eat, and Jolie and Ava are about to turn into everything they have been craving including pounds of chocolate, pizza, pickles, and ice cream.Mafia, urban sprawl, gentrification, newborn babies, and the lives of the Leavensport villagers will be altered forever. Change is inevitable. Jolie Tucker is a Type-A perfectionist with fanatic tendencies who detest the very thought of change. Regardless of what she wants, change is a comin' along with a grizzly discovery of murder of one of the village's most beloved, mayhem between the villagers and the urbanites of Tri-City, and new dynamics of family dysfunction. Get ready for a roller coaster ride from the peaks of new life, yummy food, and blossoming relationships to the lows of slayings, chaos, and war. The residents of Leavensport are in for the battle of their lives, and it's up to Jolie, Ava, and their crew to determine the future of their village.
Welcome to Leavensport, Ohio, where DEATH takes a DELICIOUS turn!
🍽🍽🍽🍽🍽
Today, Jodi is sharing with us her recipe for
Ryder Chen's Cast Iron
Cashew Chicken Noodle
8 ounces uncooked thick rice noodles (I use Udon noodles)
1/4 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cubed (I use shredded white chicken in a can from Sam's Club—makes the dish SUPER quick to make!)
6 green onions, cut into 2-inch pieces
1 cup unsalted cashews
2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce (we use Melinda's Thai Sweet Chili Sauce—it is DELICIOUS!!!! Also, I put about SIX to EIGHT tablespoons of this sauce in—do so at your own risk!)
Toasted sesame seeds, optional (we do this, and it's great!)
We garnish with fresh green onions and some chili flakes.
· Cook rice noodles according to package directions.
(Jodi was excited to be cooking this dish for us on her new stove!)
· Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, cornstarch, and garlic. Add chicken.
In a large cast-iron or another heavy skillet, saute the chicken mixture in peanut and sesame oils until no longer pink. Add onions; cook 1 minute longer.
· Drain noodles; stir into skillet.
Add cashews and chili sauce and heat through. If desired, top with toasted sesame seeds.
Cooking with Cats and the Hubby
~ Jodi Rath
Y'all, my life is tough. I mean, it's very, extremely tough. Part of my job entails trying out new cast iron skillet recipes every month or so and then—wait for it—yes, we then MUST eat the food too. Ugh, right? Lucky for me, I've always been a bit on the thick side with lots of curves and love handles—so it's not like I'm trying to maintain a certain weight! LOL!
First, apologies to all of you who do NOT have pets or those who feel pets belong outside. At the Rath home, we have eight cats that pretty much rule the roost—all inside. As you browse the pictures of Mike and me making this dish, you find NO cats hanging around—it's as if they knew this was a working recipe! Truthfully, full-disclosure—we usually eat around noon, BUT we waited until 3:30 PM today—why? That's when all the cats are napping! Hehe!
The newest surfer dude in Leavensport Ohio, Ryder Chen, is taking Carlos's place as new chef of Cast Iron Creations and boy, does he ever serve up some delicious dishes! Ryder is proud of his Chinese heritage, and the women in his family have passed down recipes from generation to generation—kind of like Jolie's family has done.
Ryder, Jolie, Ava, and I hope you all enjoy Ryder's Cast Iron Cashew Chicken Noodle dish. As you can see from the pictures, my hubby and I enjoyed it immensely!
I want to thank Jodi and her husband, Mike, for going above and beyond for taking and sharing these wonderful photos with us! Aren't they fun?
If you haven't already read Jodi's Cast Iron Skillet Mysteries, please check them out!

Make every birthday a little more special with this long-lasting chipboard birthday banner made using the Cricut Maker!
Thank you to Cricut for our continued partnership and making this post possible.
I love birthdays, and I have accumulated reusable decorations over the years that make it easier to take up and put down decorations throughout the year.
I've gotten birthday banners in the past – I think we have several options in our basement. But none of them will likely stand the test of time.
So I thought making the banner with heavy duty chipboard would be a great idea!
I went back and forth about how I wanted it to look – I contemplated gluing scrapbook paper onto the chipboard, using foil, painting the chipboard…but in the end, I really like the classic brown of the chipboard, and I ended up pairing that with my latest obsession – patterned iron on!
I've used that with several projects lately, and it just seemed like the right choice. I had gotten some thinner chipboard earlier this year (which I can cut with either the Cricut Maker or my Cricut Explore Air), but I decided to go with Cricut's heavy chipboard.
It cuts beautifully with the Knife Blade, and I thought it would just look nicer and last longer with the greater thickness.
However, if you don't have the Maker, you could use thinner chipboard, as well.
This project was not a hard one AT all – it just takes a long time for all the chipboard to be cut.
It took almost all 20 cuts to go through each piece, so I just made myself busy with other tasks.
We used some twine to put it all together, and I really like how it turned out!
I just LOVE how thick the banner pieces are. I was a little bit worried that it might be too heavy to hang, but it wasn't at all. I just used some push pins, and it went up with no trouble.
Also, time for a real life moment. This whole project totally stressed me out putting together for a variety of reasons. My superhero Forrest came to the rescue though, and not only did he put all the chipboard in for me while I edited the video above, he put together the banner itself. This was his first time using my Cricut Maker, and I'm certain it won't be his last!
I used the patterned iron-on, and I used my EasyPress 2 – 6×7. You DON'T have to use iron-on – and in fact, if you don't have an EasyPress, I would strongly suggest you stick with regular adhesive vinyl or foil. I just really wanted to use this color, which is why I used the EasyPress 2 and patterned iron-on. If you do use iron-on, make sure you double check the settings on the EasyPress Interactive Setting Guide (this is seriously my favorite thing ever).
This project takes time – please be patient with the chipboard as it cuts!
We taped some masking tape around the edge of the twine for easier threading. This may not be necessary; just depends on what you are using!
The teeny tiny circles didn't always cut out all the way, so we had to use an Xacto knife to get some of those out.
For the mat with the letters that will be cut with vinyl, if you are using iron-on, make sure you mirror the image. If you are just using regular vinyl or foil, you don't need to do this.
Repeat with all the chipboard pieces. Remove from mats, and if you need to, us an Xacto knife to make sure the tiny circles were completely cut out.
Weed out the excess and transfer to your chipboard. If you are using iron-on vinyl or foil, follow the instructions for chipboard here.
String the chipboard and enjoy!
I also wanted to talk a little bit about the Cricut Maker versus the Cricut Explore Air. I've had my Cricut Maker for about a year – my Cricut Explore Air for two. Although I use my Cricut Maker more, I still have a soft spot for my Cricut Explore Air. It's really what got me into the Cricut world – and I am forever grateful for that.
I have actually written a pretty in-depth post on this in the past – Cricut Maker vs Cricut Explore Air: Which Cricut Machine Should You Buy? – that I highly suggest reading if you are trying to decide.
The Rotary Blade – this is AMAZING for cutting our fabric and patterns. If you sew at all, this is absolutely the biggest reason to get the Maker.
Print then cut on colored paper – with previous models, you can only do print and cut with white paper. The Maker opened up so many more possibilities with this upgrade.
Adaptive System – If you think the blades that have been released so far are amazing – who KNOWS what the future holds. Because the adaptive system, the Maker was created to grow with the company as they release more and more amazing products.
Make sure you read this post about everything you need to know about the Cricut Maker.
When it comes down to it, they are both great machines. The Cricut Maker definitely has more capabilities – especially for fabric and thicker materials. There is also a lot of potential down the road for expansion as well.
If you have the Explore Air 2, it has the same 2x cutting speed capabilities as the Cricut Maker, so if that's your main concern, I would just go with the Explore Air 2 over the original Air (I have the original, and I will say, it makes a BIG difference).
However, if you are wanting to be able to cut those thicker materials, as well as cut fabric without having an adhesive backing (which can be annoying), the Maker is definitely the best option for you. Beyond that, I've found that they both do an equally good job of cutting materials like paper, vinyl, foil, etc.
So if those are primarily what you plan to do – and you won't suddenly feel sad that you aren't able to take advantage of the Rotary and Knife blades, the Explore Air 2 might be a good choice.

Easy banners are the best! Especially custom ones that look like they took a lot of time! And yay for hero husbands!!

Does a Strong Start Make 2018 a Sure Winner for Stocks?
Find out whether the so-called "January effect" is real.
Jan 8, 2018 at 8:47AM
The stock market has jumped out to an impressive start in 2018. The Dow Jones Industrials (DJINDICES:^DJI), S&P 500 (SNPINDEX:^GSPC), and Nasdaq Composite all went up during each of the first four days of the year, with gains of between 2% and 3.5% for the holiday-shortened week.
Many investors believe in what's known as the January effect, a seasonal indicator that suggests that the direction that the market goes early in the year serves as a good guide to how the entire year will go. By that measure, a favorable first week of January bodes well for the prospects for a 10th straight year of bull market gains. Behind every such seasonal indicator, however, there's a combination of fact and folklore that doesn't always guarantee success. To understand the January effect fully, you need to look at its origins and its track record.
Where the January effect came from and what it means
The January effect phenomenon comes in different forms, with different investors believing slightly different versions of the story. For some, the January effect comes only in the first few trading sessions of the New Year. According to that version of the theory, investors often sell out of stocks late in the year, especially in companies that have done poorly and therefore generated tax losses for their shareholders. Then, during the first week of January, they turn around and reinvest that money in other stocks. By that version of the theory, 2018 is already destined to be a winning year simply by virtue of the fact that market benchmarks rose so sharply between Jan. 2 and Jan. 5.
Other versions of the January effect look at the entire month as a signpost for how the year will go. This theory incorporates some of the year-end activity that the version above mentions, but the longer time period also gives investors a chance to see how momentum from the previous year translates during the current year. Advances set a positive tone for market participants, while reversals tend to raise anxiety levels that can persist throughout the year. If you subscribe to this version of the January effect theory, then the jury's still out whether 2018 will be a winner.
Why the January effect has been worthless recently
The problem with the January effect is that it hasn't been particularly accurate in recent years in predicting the course of the stock market throughout the ensuing 11 months. Here's its track record over the past 10 years.
January Return
Full-Year Return
Accurate?

As you can see, the January effect metric has had an exactly 50% record of success over the past decade. That makes it the same coin-flip proposition that most people would expect from any other random distribution of events.
Long-term investors understand that focusing on time periods as short as a month or even a year can lead to major mistakes in strategy. On one hand, the stock market has demonstrated an ability to rise consistently over extremely long periods of time, offsetting the downward impact of bumps along the way. At the same time, stocks have been higher in 14 out of the past 15 years, and many think it's long overdue for the market to revert toward the mean with a losing year in 2018.
Don't count on the January effect
The January effect is a simple and attractive-sounding rule, but unfortunately, it doesn't hold up to empirical evidence. Each year is different, and although many investors will celebrate early year gains, there's no guarantee that the market will be able to build on those advances throughout 2018 and beyond.
The better course for investors to follow is to come up with a long-term strategy that you can use comfortably during good markets and bad. That way, you won't need to give undue weight to whether the market happens to rise or fall during the first few days of the year.


This is an archive review. Mamma Mia has now closed this restaurant and opened another. This review and the comments on it refer to the former venue.
Some considerable time ago, Cat was a regular patron of Pavarotti's Restaurant in Shanklin. Its Italian staff were very welcoming, the authentic Mediterranean food was excellent and flavoursome and the venue was in the style of La Scala – raffia-wrapped wine bottles and piped opera.
The proprietor of Pavarotti's opened a second eatery in Shanklin, the disappointingly short-lived Carrera's (now Chubby's Chunky Chip Shop) on Regent Street; a good spot for a lunchtime gossip over a thin pizza.
Ever-watchful of the goings-on in the Isle of Wight's restaurant world, Matt and Cat noticed the arrival of a new Italian restaurant in Shanklin and, as they had cause to be in that seaside town one night, decided to pay it a visit.
Mamma Mia occupies a prominent position on the corner of Orchardleigh Road and the High Street, perfect for reeling in passing holiday trade. Cryptically, they have been for some time advertising themselves with a rather feeble tangled banner (see picture) which makes identifying the place a little tricky. Undeterred, Matt and Cat were able to take a chance on a coveted window seat and took their places eagerly to the strains of Winner Takes It All – not a reference to Jimmy Tarbuck, but the hit song by Abba. The Swedish Pop Gods were an unexpected musical accompaniment to the whole Mamma Mia experience and, although Matt and Cat are not avid Abba aficionados (or ABBAholics, as fanatics are known), they certainly prefer to tap their toes along to the multitudinous hits of the harmonious Euro-superstars than opera.
The menu had a good, if typical, range of Italian food; pasta, pizzas and salads. There was also a vast fish selection including stuffed trout, red snapper and 'ocean surprise' which was mostly various crustaceans with salad (£41). Cat was feeling hungry and chose ravioli sugo antico – Italian sausage with a garlic and tomato sauce. Matthew also plumped for ravioli, ravioli mari and monte – described as prawns, peppers, olives, mushrooms in garlic olive oil. Cat ordered a glass of red wine to wash down her sausage and was taken aback at the vast (250ml) glass. Perhaps she should have specified a small (125ml) drink. The habit of bars super-sizing drinks is a new and worrying phenomenon according to the government and, when checking this one drink on the NHS alcohol units calculator Cat was shocked to see that it potentially contained over three units of alcohol. Didn't stop her glugging it down though.
The melodious sounds of Abba continued to warble through the speakers, competing with the yelling of one of the many children in the restaurant. Did her mother know? Probably, as Mamma Mia is well-patronised by families and in the commendable Italian tradition they were all given a hearty welcome by the staff. This venue definitely gets a child-friendly tick, although the menu does not seem to explicitly make any concessions to younger visitors, e.g. smaller portions.
The main courses were served very promptly. Cat's bowl was filled with a good pile of ravioli with a concentrated tomato sauce and chunks of spicy sausage. A generous spoonful of Parmesan cheese was proffered by the waiter, topping the dish off nicely. It was all very tasty but the ravioli had a certain familiarity about it. Was it freshly made pasta created in the restaurant's kitchen or – as Matt suspected – something more generic?
Although Cat was pretty pleased with her choice of dish, Matt was more scathing. He didn't like the pasta because of its decidedly un-homemade nature. It was exactly the same pasta and filling that Cat had in her dish. Frankly, it tasted and looked just like the 'fresh pasta' that one can buy half-dried in supermarkets, even down to the tasteless paste of the filling. What's more, ravioli is normally square, or at least flat. These were neither. He was also underwhelmed with his dish's pretty bland mari and monte sauce, counting a mere three prawns. There were some unannounced mussels and some curious rubbery things which tasted decidedly fishy (squid?) but the dish was not as anticipated, or advertised. He mumbled as he mopped up the fishy liquid with some very nice cheesy garlic bread.
More Abba tunes drifted through the air; Matt and Cat felt thankful for the music and did some synchronised nodding to 'Voulez-vous'. Cat finished off the glass of wine, Matt downed the rest of his Peroni beer and they looked out of the windows at the meandering pedestrians. M & C discussed what to have for pudding and decided that tiramisu was the only possible choice. Yet more Swedish songs yodelled their way through the ether – but no waiting staff were to be seen. 'I have a dream', said Cat, after some considerable time, '…it's of a marscapone and brandy dessert'. Finally catching the waiter's eye with an S.O.S. of her own, she asked for the tiramisu. Alas, there was none. Matt and Cat decided to leave but, by then, the waiter had cleared off before they could ask for the bill.
Yet more Abba – no waiter. You get the idea. Cat decided to take action and, making her way to the counter was tempted to shout "Gimme! Gimme! Gimme the bill". Money, money, money changed hands and Matt and Cat left to find coffee and pudding at Vernon Cottage, before finally taking their seats at Shanklin Theatre for 'two hours of chuckle therapy' with the legend that is Barry Cryer.
Matt and Cat were underwhelmed by Mamma Mia. The service was erratic, if amiable, and the food, whilst adequate, was neither particularly good nor especially cheap. There are several places across the Island where better Italian food can be had for as much or less – Olivo in Newport is perhaps the most obvious. Actually, it probably doesn't matter what Matt and Cat think – location is the name of the game and its extensive menu and friendly (if distracted) staff will probably be enough for Mamma Mia to succeed in this Summer Night City.

State Street Traders Navigate European Regs
By Terry Flanagan
Dale Brooksbank, head of European trading at State Street Global Advisors has two big challenges. Six months ago he became a father for the first time, and on the job he has to navigate new European regulations. While Brooksbank knows that his daughter will become an adult on her eighteenth birthday, the timeline for implementing new trading rules is less clear.
"As an organisation, we have spent an enormous amount of time and resource over the course of the last three years trying to make sure that regulators have sufficient data to make those decisions on an objective basis and evidence-based," Brooksbank told Markets Media. "I think we were one of the few people that were able to provide that data."
Dale Brooksbank, State Street Global Advisors
Brooksbank liaises with regulators such as the European Securities and Markets Authority, on behalf of State Street and as chair of the Investment Management Association Dealing Committee.
In Europe the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID) was implemented in 2007 to introducing competition in equity trading against national stock exchanges. In January this year European lawmakers agreed on the primary legislative, or Level 1, text for MiFID II but there could be nearly 90 secondary measures. As a large global organization, State Street can turn to its project management office to plan for these kinds of systematic or strategic initiatives.
"There will be challenges over the next five to 10 years with the amount of change," Brooksbank said. "When we speak to ESMA we are looking at 2017 for MiFID II and for the 12 to 18 months after that, you potentially have the scope for a consolidated tape, so you are looking out to 2020 for some key regulatory changes. During that period you might even start dialogue for MiFID III."
Dark Caps
MiFID II includes a proposed cap of 8% of the total consolidated amount traded in any stock during a trading day in dark pools and 4% of total trading per stock on a single dark venue following a recommendation from the European Council last year. Trading volumes across the region are difficult to measure as Europe does not have a consolidated tape, despite this being promised in MiFID I.
"I think that for ESMA this is not a proposal, this is something in Level 1 that they're already having to plan to solve for," Brooksbank said. "How do you get aggregated trade data across venues when you don't have a consolidated tape? I think that there is, diplomatically, some head-scratching with regards to how that is going to be implemented and how it's going to be solved."
In any year State Street executes about 25% of its algorithmic trades in dark pools in Europe, although this is only between 4% and 7% of its total equity trading volume in the region said Brooksbank.
"On top of our order management system we have ITG's Triton, an execution management system where we house the suites of broker algorithms that we use," he noted. "Last year that we did over €75bn in equities in Europe. Of that approximately €4bn to €5bn was executed in dark pools."
Brooksbank expects the use of algos to increase. His team uses 15 suites of algorithms from external providers but has the ability to customise programs to suit their trading strategies or reduce trading costs.
There are 11 traders in London trading equities, fixed income and foreign exchange alongside teams in Hong Kong and Boston, State Street's U.S. headquarters. Brooksbank can deal across asset classes which are all traded on the Fidessa system.
The two foreign exchange traders in London are generalists while fixed income is spilt between liability-driven investment and swaps, credit, emerging markets and rates. In equities the team is divided by strategy such as quantitative equity and fundamental equity in line with the portfolio managers.
All orders for European equities are given to London but in fixed income and foreign exchange only orders loaded by portfolio managers in Paris or London are traded by Brooksbank's team.
"In equities we want to make sure we don't have different desks across the globe competing for the same orders in the same markets," he said. "Some of our competitors might have desks in San Francisco or Boston, London and Hong Kong that could actually be competing for the same set of names. So, because of the desk structure, we take that conflict off the table."
Portfolio managers can use a relatively standard list of order types but can also add free-form text instructions, such as the need to extend settlement, or discuss bespoke orders with traders.
Team Effort
Brooksbank said the continuity of the trading team means they have a deep understanding of what portfolio managers are trying to achieve.
"We have a permanent chat room with the Hong Kong and Boston trading desks. We also have permanent chat rooms with individual equity strategies," he said. "With technology it's just very easy to provide real time information and it is incredibly collegiate with the PM teams because we're constantly involved in their process as they are in ours."
State Street had been using the Fidessa system for equities since 2005. Brooksbank joined the firm from Legal & General Investment Management in 2006 and two years later he was in charge of the project to move foreign exchange onto Fidessa.
"We felt relatively pioneering in getting FX onto the same platform as equities almost 5 years ago. Once that project was successfully completed we then expanded the conversation to fixed income," he said. "We looked at other systems but given our broader strategy of having other assets on a single platform and the fact that Fidessa could deliver made perfect sense for us"
In 2011 fixed income was transferred to Fidessa to increase capacity and to be able transfer positions around the globe which has proved useful with physically disruptive events such as the recent typhoon in Hong Kong, the polar vortex in the U.S. and floods in London.
"The addition of the OMS for fixed income has been a blessing as volumes have continued to grow." added Brooksbank. "In Europe we are doing between 60% and 80% more tickets than we were in 2011 with the same amount of staff."
In July last year Brooksbank's team had their largest trading day in fixed income printing about 4,000 tickets in addition to interest rate swaps.
In 2012 State Street Global Advisors traded $2.6trn in notional value across all asset classes around the world. Brooksbank said: "We're not standard from an industry perspective as north of 85% of all of our fixed income trades are able to be done on an electronic basis."
In fixed income State Street has FIX connections to Tradeweb, MarketAxess and Bloomberg FIT so straight through processing rates are higher than 95%.
"In fixed income our order management system has made the competitive pricing process a lot easier. i.e. we have the ability to go in and trade a list of 30 government bonds, select four or five different counterparties and look at those counterparties' streaming prices in real time," Brooksbank said.
Execution Focus
The Fidessa platform also allows State Street to implement pre-trade controls. Brooksbank's team can use a compliance interface called Sentinel so that if an individual client specifies that he does not want to trade with individual counterparties, they have the ability to code that on a pre-trade basis. There other hard coded checks in the OMS – such as the ability not to send out more than is ordered, so if a portfolio manager sends down a million shares, two million shares cannot be sent out.
One of the key controls is to only deal with counterparties that use FIX. "In fixed income if we do trade via voice we will then get what is called a VCon, a confirmation over Bloomberg that has the ability to populate our STP system," Brooksbank said. "That's a pretty neat functionality that we have had to develop. An important development in trading emerging market fixed income."
More than 99% of State Street's trades across asset classes are processed from front to back office without any manual intervention.
"The trader gets a lot more bandwidth to spend on client execution quality and I think that is real progress for SSgA." added Brooksbank. "The infrastructure that we have that actually frees up a lot more time for traders to focus on the important things for our clients, which is execution quality."
In addition to using technology for executing trades, State Street has invested time and resources in analysing trading costs and has a TCA Services group. Staff in London and Boston produce daily TCA reports using data extracted from Fidessa for each strategy for all the heads of trading, the regional heads of trading and the global head of trading. A quarterly report is also produced for the Trade Management Oversight Committee, a group of senior group of executives who are briefed by the global head of trading.
"We also have a third party provider of analytics for things which we utilise for the quantitative strategies. ," added Brooksbank. "Over the last couple of years, we have done an enormous amount of work deconstructing individual stages of a trade life cycle to see the actual outcome and how we can improve what we are doing. We have TCA Services producing daily TCA in FX, futures and equities. We are one of the first asset management firms also to do it in fixed income."
Brooksbank said the firm's trading costs have been steadily decreasing over the last 10 years. "I am not convinced that would be similar across the whole industry, it may be, but it speaks to the fact that the team are increasingly having time to focus on improving execution quality," he added.
He expects European regulators to look at market data which still costs more than in Europe than the US but he said there has been some progress on post-trade costs.
In February the Federation of European Securities Exchanges and FIX Trading Community announced that Market Model Typology (MMT) has become a FIX standard which will allow standardisation in data from trading or trade reporting venues. FESE said MMT can also be used by non-FIX protocols which will make it easier to aggregate data from multiple venues and create a European consolidated post-trade tape .
"That is already going to be standard reporting for BATS, which has been a step forward versus BOAT." Brooksbank added. "These are things that the industry is trying to help solve. I think that they are positive steps. We have a way to go."
Last November data provider Markit told clients it would close BOAT, its trade reporting service, this year, shortly after exchange operator BATS Chi-X Europe launched BXTR, a rival offering.
Brooksbank has already seen many changes since having to physically timestamp tickets at the start of his career in 1996 and that process looks unlikely to slow down.
Last December Rick Lacaille, global chief investment officer at SSgA said about the global market outlook for 2014: "If stabilisation was the message in 2013, recovery is the watchword for 2014. While we are not discounting potential risks, like government and central bank policy changes or geopolitical issues that could disrupt the growth story, there are plenty of positives to catch the investor's eye for 2014."
This year SSgA expects Eurozone growth to be particularly favourable for European peripheral debt with rallies in peripheral stocks and for small caps and high yield to continue to perform well. The firm is positive on Spanish and Italian equities and expects the UK to be the best performer in the G10 with a positive outlook for UK corporate bonds and the UK financial sector. For this year SSgA favours short biased strategies, managed futures, real estate and cash as diversifiers with stable low correlations.
Brooksbank said: "With the confluence of regulatory change, whether it is Basel III or MiFID II liquidity is very high on the list of our concerns. But, if I look back through 2007, 2008, even at its worst, we were always able to get all of our business done that we've ever needed to."

Q: Sitecore workbox - Modify "Message box" popup box from single line textbox to a multiline textbox Sitecore workbox displays workflow actions available from the current state. For actions if "Supress message" is turned off, it displays a message box to enter a reason for the action.
Is it possible to customize this? How can I do it?

A: It seems to be the file <websiteroot>/sitecore/shell/feeds/Views/WorkflowComment.ascx that is the control used.
So while it looks like it can be modified, but I haven't done this before, so I'm not entirely sure what happens when it's changed to a different type though. For instance, the file <websiteroot>/sitecore/shell/feeds/workflow.js seems to use the field as well.
If you do try to change it, you'll have to change the Sitecore.Shell.Feeds.Views.WorkflowComment class as well, since it's expecting a Textbox.

A: If you want a multiline textbox instead of a single-line textbox, just add the TextMode="MultiLine" attribute to the WorkflowComment.ascx file in the location Trayek describes in his answer.
You might also need to modify the CSS to make it fit better.
If this is the only change you need, you don't have to change the class.
