The Influence of Clinical Terminology on Self-Efficacy for Voice
Gillespie, Amanda I (2005) The Influence of Clinical Terminology on Self-Efficacy for Voice. Master's Thesis, University of Pittsburgh. (Unpublished)
AbstractThe present study sought (1) to determine if any evidence could be found of an influence of clinical language on self-efficacy for voice in adults with voice problems; and (2) to determine the number of subjects that would be required to undertake future large-scale study around this question, if warranted, based on effect sizes determined in the present investigation. The study¡¦s relevance has to do with prior concerns raised in the literature that common clinical language in voice care¡Xspecifically language indicating vocal ¡§abuse and misuse¡¨ as causal factors in selected voice disorders--has potential to harm self-efficacy for voice, which in turn may compromise patient compliance with treatment and thus clinical outcome (Verdolini, 1999). Fourteen teachers with self-reported voice disorders of unknown etiology were recruited as participants. Subjects were randomly assigned to one of two 15-min standardized, videotaped educational exposures by an unbiased clinician who was unaware of the experimental questions. One exposure described the origins of common voice problems in teachers in terms of vocal ¡§abuse/misuse¡¨ (N=7). The other exposure described the problems in terms of ¡§phonotraumatic behaviors and muscular tension¡¨ (N=7). Before and immediately after exposures, subjects completed a visual analogue scale Voice Self-Efficacy Questionnaire that was specially designed for the study, that assessed situation-neutral self-efficacy for voice. Psychometric evaluation of the tool indicated strong intra-rater and test-retest reliability (r "d. 99; r "d .78 respectively). The groups were also found to have no significant differences between them at the pre-test level, thus showing that amount of change on the post-test Voice Self-Efficacy Questionnaire were not influenced by individual subject differences on the pre-test. More conceptually interesting, binomial tests indicated that the majority of responses to self-efficacy questions reliably increased pre- to post exposure in the ¡§phonotrauma/muscle tension¡¨ (20/28 responses; p < .05), whereas no reliable change in scores was seen in the ¡§abuse/misuse¡¨ group (11/28 responses increased; non-significant). A Chi-Square test was conducted, and as with the binomial test, found a statistical difference between the 11 increased/28 possible self-efficacy responses of the ¡§abuse/misuse¡¨ group, and the 20/28 increased self-efficacy responses of the ¡§phonotrauma¡¨ group to the < .05 level. Results provide preliminary support for the hypothesis that clinical exposure to ¡§abuse/misuse¡¨ language may harm patients¡¦ self-efficacy for voice, not necessarily by decreasing pre-exposure self-efficacy but by compromising increases in self-efficacy that may normally be expected with patient education, as reported for other domains. The issue of self-efficacy for voice should be pursued in larger-scale studies in other laboratories. Effect sizes based on the present data indicated that at least 20 subjects per group (N=40 total) would be required to assess the effects of the noted terminology on voice-related self-efficacy shifts parametrically, using a similar experimental design.

Southern Silver Closes Final Tranche of Financing
Southern Silver Exploration Corp. ("Southern Silver" or the "Company") has closed the final tranche of its previously reported private placement by issuing 1,254,500 units at a price of $0.40 per unit for gross proceeds of $501,800. Each unit consists of one common share and one share purchase warrant exercisable to purchase one additional common share for a period of three years at an exercise price of $0.55 per common share. Securities issued pursuant to this tranche of the private placement, including common shares and share purchase warrants, carry a legend restricting trading of the securities until January 30, 2018. In total, the Company has now closed 8,797,000 Units in three tranches for total gross proceeds of $3,581,800. The final closing is subject to certain conditions including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary approvals including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
Net proceeds from this private placement are intended to be used to contribute to the Company's proportionate share (40%) of the costs associated with continuing exploration on the Cerro Las Minitas property near Durango, Mexico together with the Joint Venture partner of the Company, Electrum Global Holdings L.P. (60%).
Further exploration work on the Cerro Las Minitas property in 2017 and 2018 is to be funded by the two Joint Venture partners and is expected to consist of detailed surface sampling and core and RC drilling in order to:
(a) Extend the known mineralization at the North Skarn and Las Victorias target areas in order to increase the current mineral resource estimate; and
(b) Explore for accumulations of potential new mineralization elsewhere in the larger area of the Cerro Las Minitas property.
Portions of the net proceeds will also be added to general working capital and to fund an exploration program on the Company's 100% owned Oro property in New Mexico, USA, consisting of surface work and a 1250 metre, eight to ten hole RC drilling program targeting sediment-hosted gold mineralization at the Stock Pond target area at an approximate cost of $300,000. Drilling is expected to begin in mid-October 2017.
The Company also reports that it has granted incentive stock options to directors, officers and consultants to purchase 2,750,000 common shares. The options are exercisable at a price of $0.34 per share for a period of five years and are subject to the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange.
About Southern Silver Exploration
Southern Silver Exploration Corp. is a precious metal exploration and development company with a focus on the discovery of world-class mineral deposits in north-central Mexico and the southern USA. Our specific emphasis is the Cerro Las Minitas silver-lead-zinc project located in the heart of Mexico's Faja de Plata, which hosts multiple world-class mineral deposits such as Penasquito, San Martin, Naica and Pitarrilla. We have assembled a team of highly experienced technical, operational and transactional professionals to support our exploration efforts in developing, along with our partner, Electrum Global Holdings LP, the Cerro Las Minitas project into a premier, high-grade, silver-lead-zinc mine.
The Company engages in the acquisition, exploration and development either directly or through joint-venture relationships in mineral properties in major jurisdictions. Our property portfolio also includes the Oro porphyry copper-gold project located in southern New Mexico, USA. The Oro property consists of patented land, State leases and BLM located mineral claims which cover a highly prospective quartz-sericite-pyrite alteration zone, interpreted to overlie an unexposed porphyry center and distal sediment-hosted, oxide-gold target.
Robert Macdonald, MSc. P.Geo, is a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 and responsible for the supervision of the exploration on the Cerro Las Minitas Project and for the preparation of the technical information in this disclosure.

I too like old format better - finally got used to it from elisetalk.com days. The new one is too bright on the cell phone in the dark. Too much scrolling.... but the drag files to attach would be more convenient.
Wow, I'm disappointed that this design change was never discussed with the users.
To me, it looks hideous, especially the colors, and all the spacings and tabs are too large. This will be the only website I'll have to 'zoom out' to make everything look smaller and compact so that I can scroll less.
And what's up with the low-res or jpeg artifacts on the left three cars in the main banner? These jagged edges are an eyesore.
Is the left sidebar missing? The main content looks lopsided and off-center now. I much prefer the look of the previous version where everything important was right in the center of the screen since I use a VERY LARGE monitor. The front page looks fine, though, since it's 'centered', albeit it's bit narrow and the right sidebar is encroaching to the center.
abandoning the forum software's search in favor of google, although I always used "site:lotustalk.com blah blab blah" on a separate tab.
streamlined file attachment? (hopefully it resizes all the pictures on its own? It's the only reason why I link instead of attaching).
Sure, this is a drastic change and, it can be expected that some will not like it. I am one of them.
I will eventually deal with the new look, but the thing I don't like the most and feels that needs to be changed (not the trivial stuff like the color choices) is the vertical spacing between the tabs. Everything is too tall and have too much space!
I hope the admins and designers give it some more time 'til everything looks 'right'.
Finally someone says what I wanted to say... With all the praising and positive comments I told myself not to post anything negative since the morning. Thank you Scott.
I 100% agree with what Scott mentioned.
1) The banner picture is in low resolution.
4) The lime green looks good on Lotus, but they don't look good on the design of the forum.
5) fonts are getting really huge, i know I can fix that on my end but still, I miss the clean look from the previous version.
6) Stop messing with the mobile and tablet version, it's been very incomplete and slow since you guys started changing it a year or two years ago.
I hope these are constructive comments, and I really appreciate the effort of making a change. And I definitely appreciate the photo uploading feature, thanks Jeff.
Honest feedback is welcome, we are going to tweak the colors a bit and work on some stuff.
Mobile has been a challenge for sure, there is an entirely new product in the works and hope to have something before the end of the year.
I don't care for the new look either.
And can we get rid of that "setup progress" box at the top of the main forum page? I've been here for >4 years, and if I wanted to subscribe to a thread, I would have by now. I don't need to be reminded to do it.
Why do people want mobile apps? I do not believe I have ever used one for any site. Use ipad mostly, rarely a desktop unless at work.
Terrible. I hate these type of styled forums. This style site runs much slower on my PC. All this Flash crap bogging my PC down. Mazda3 forum did the same thing, I can't even go on that forum without spending hours on it. The same will be for this. For someone that has to check in and be done quick will be a huge task and I probably won't even bother to visit more than once a week which will mean going through 10+ pages of new threads.
Why the change is necessary is beyond me. The simpler, the better. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
Then you resize the window and it smashes the thread into a tiny column to the left and on the right you have ads or recent discussions which I don't care for. This affects the size of the pictures people post. Before there would be at the very top "click for large picture." Easy. Now it's not there, so you have to either copy image location and open a new tab and post the link or you have to right click and chose view image which then you have to go back which will reload the page all over again.
But of course, I'm sure this is here to stay.

I'll go against this current; I like the new look quite a lot more.
I'm not sure about the new look, But, I HATE the Pop Up Commercial Videos, with VERY distracting sound !
Got me beat ... can you give a few more details .
Used to be a click on the front page and it would give all the posts since last visit .
I am the same as dstevens ... its the only function i really ever used !!
The "multi" quote button does not appear to be working .
Otherwise ... i like the look and the drag and drop pictures is a great feature .... no more photobucket ... yes hah !!!
How 'bout cleaning up the list of Smilies? Or at least, re-ordering them so that there is no duplication in the initial Reply screen?
Part of the time we live in. There are always people out there who think a full refresh of sites is needed right now. Heck most banking sites seem to redo their interface every few months.
Often as they get more "improved" they are much harder to use. Utube is to the point that I rarely use it now. Weather and news sites especially change their appearance so often that it's a game to use them.
Just this morning I am battling my Verizon wireless interface. Some smart people have decided it needed another redo this year and I can not locate anything, many dead links and unresponsive screens. Great.
Those of us who are older and have been on here longer are pretty much offended at things that were a comforting part of our day suddenly becoming unfamiliar and a new challenge.
That's why Windows 8 was a criminal act and Windows 10 has abandoned 90% of the interface "improvements"

Testing Mutli Quote here and seems to be working, are you clicking the Mutliquote button on each post then hitting reply?
Also they are working on a fix for the smilies (More) link.
When you press the QUOTE button it goes right to the Reply to To Thread screen.
The reply screen DOES appear with the Quote if you hit the Reply button after multi-quote.
I saw one of admins posted that you could revert back to old settings. Have any of you tried it yet?
Its at the bottom left hand side if you scroll all the way down!
I think the new age dopey looking smileys need to go to the bottom of the list.
Yes that is the expected action, hit multi quote on 2 or more posts then hit reply to thread and it will bring you to the reply box with their quotes.
I am using the "classic skin". Much easier on the eyes. I have been biting my tongue trying to be nice and not say anything negative.
You can change to the classic skin by going to the User CP and selecting "Edit Options" on the left side. It is all the way at the bottom.

See also "G.E. Capital."

The concept that a taxpayer does not actually have to take possession of money for it to be taxable. The most common occurrence of this is when savings account interest is reinvested rather than sent to the account holder as a separate payment.

As such, the earnings are taxable.

The reports are made available to individuals and to creditors who profess to have a legitimate need for the information.

A non-profit, cooperative financial institution owned and controlled by the people who use its services, usually a group such as employees in the same company or industry. Credit unions historically have been able to offer lower rates and fees and still operate in the black.

Tax credits are much like credits you get from a store. You use the credit to reduce the amount of the tax you owe. Tax credits are more valuable than deductions because they directly reduce the amount of tax you owe, rather than reducing the amount of income that is taxed.
A dead-end street, often with a broad circle at the end with houses arrayed around it; from the air a cul-de-sac looks like a lollipop.
A problem with a property that can be remedied. Peeling paint is a curable defect, but location in a crime-ridden neighborhood is not.

A house built according to plans from an architect hired by the owner.


In the summer of 2011, science writer Alice Robb discovered a book called Exploring the World of Lucid Dreaming, which promised readers that they could control the plots of their dreams. That surprising notion led her to years of research into the nature of dreams and those who have studied them: the theories of Freud and Jung, the experiments in laboratory settings by scientists in recent decades, the nature of REM sleep, how nightmares differ from bad dreams, and other aspects of our nocturnal consciousness, which occupies nearly a third of our lives.
The result is a clear-eyed and entertaining book called Why We Dream: The Transformative Power of Our Nightly Journey (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt). In our conversation, she tells us why dreams are important for our mental and physical well-being, how anxiety dreams can serve a function, the difference between bad dreams and nightmares, and how you can train yourself to prolong the phenomenon known as "lucid dreaming." We discuss how creative people, writers and artists, have been able to make use of their dreams. And why you might want to consider keeping a dream journal.

Tony Heffernan & Mary Heffernan founderd of the Kerry based charity is absolutely thrilled with the news & partnership with the 23 Foundation, speaking from his home in Kerry, stated;
"We are thrilled to announce this new partnership, it gives our charity an endorsement from one of the world's best loved and well known premiership footballers of all time, we will work very closely with Jamie and his team, our initial focus will be primarily on building Liams Lodge and our growing our BUMBLEance service".
"Being part of a team and achieving something together is much more satisfying and I know without the help of my team and teams with which I grew up with I would not have become the individual I am today. I want to help as many children as possible to have a better life. The 23 foundation promotes the idea of "we" and "us" because together as a community and with help from people like you reading this, we can accomplish anything." Jamie Carragher
Jamie Carragher is a living Liverpool FC Legend, a footballer who played as a defender for the Premier League side for 17 years. A one-club man, Carragher started his footballing career at the Liverpool Academy, making his professional debut in the 1996–97 season and becoming a first team regular the following season. Jamie was Liverpool's vice-captain for 10 years, and is the club's second-longest ever serving player, making his 737th appearance for Liverpool in all competitions on 19 May 2013.
"Liams Lodge" is named after Tony & Mary Heffernan's son Liam, who is terminally ill with Batten Disease, will be Irelands 1st National Respite Centre for children with generic and rare conditions. The Heffernan's lost their old other child Saoirse, who died from Batten Disease on the 18th of January 2011, aged five years. The Centre will be located on a 10 acre site in Blennerville Tralee Co Kerry.
23 Foundation & Saoirse Foundation Partnership
BUMBLEance is the world's first interactive national ambulance service for children, launched on September 6th, the world's most modern ambulance entered service recently to transport sick children across the country, in and out of the various children's hospitals and treatment centres & hospice. (see You Tube BUMBLEance Launch)
The partnership is calling on the public and business communities to get involved and help to build Liams Lodge. We are currently seeking companies to not only consider to "adopting a lodge" and where possible to donate building materials and services to help build the centre.
Carragher also holds the record for the most appearances in European competition for Liverpool with 150. His honours with Liverpool include two FA Cups, three League Cups, two Community Shields, one Champions League, one UEFA Cup and two Super Cups.

Fantastic news. Great to see Jamie getting behind this fantastic charity. Fingers crossed it might help Liam's Lodge be built on time and even ahead of schedule. And also result in more Bumbleance's on the road.

A window in time, and the best film ever made about tall ships!
Normally, I do not begrudge someone their opinion about a movie, but when they cast aspersions about other reviewers here, I feel compelled to respond. One disgruntled reviewer of this film stated that she cannot understand how anyone could like this movie, let alone love it. Further, she claimed that we, the other reviewers, only believe what we are told to believe. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Many people go into a theatre with a preconceived notion of what they think they will see, only to be disappointed when what they see is not what they expected. Each person carries with them their own set of experiences and no amount of explanation or arguments will change their mind, either. Yet, once in awhile a movie transcends the boundaries that define it, and its true genius is not something that everyone is going to apprehend. This is the case with 'MASTER AND COMMANDER'.
Movies like 'MASTER AND COMMANDER' only come around once in a generation. It is, without question, the finest movie ever made about tall ships. However, its greatness lies not in the story line but in those elements that typically ruin what would otherwise be great historical films, namely: dialogue, special effects, and sound track. Take for example, 'Gangs of New York.' The cinematography and sets were outstanding but the dialogue of everyone but Daniel Day-Lewis was severely lacking in historical authenticity. Another example is the 'Passion of the Christ' which used a mix of Aramaic and Hebrew to add its authentic feel, but it came across as highly artificial.
'MASTER AND COMMANDER' brought to life a language totally forgotten: the language of the sea, circa early 1800's. Every actor spoke the language as if they were born into it, and that element alone made the viewer feel as if they were viewing a window in time of a world rarely seen.
The sound editing alone was worth the price of admission. I have never been to a film where I actually felt that I was part of the environment. 'MASTER AND COMMANDER' did that, and even if you play the DVD on a plain TV, you would still marvel at the realism of the sound.
Finally, unlike every other sea movie that preceded it, the special effects were seamlessly integrated into the real footage of the ships at sea. At no time, did I get the sense that I was watching a scale model in a tank. In reality, the actual ship passed through rough seas on its journey around the Horn and these real scenes were added to the movie.
All these factors I mentioned above set the movie apart but that does not mean it had a substandard plot and mediocre acting. On the contrary, Russell Crowe was at his best playing Lucky Jack Aubrey with a panache that could only be matched by the late Errol Flynn. If I were a seaman aboard the HMS Surprise, I would truly feel that I could follow him anywhere. Crowe commands both the stage and the ship wherever he goes.
Paul Bettany as Jack's most trusted friend and the ship's doctor, turns in his best performance to date. Another unusual part of this movie is that while no seagoing fare would be complete without a love affair, the one in this movie is a platonic one between the captain and the doctor.
The two have a special relationship that is constantly strained by Crowe's call to duty and his overarching ambition. Having served with the great Lord Nelson, Lucky Jack does his best to emulate him and carve out a piece of British naval history for himself.
The film reminded me of works like 'Run Silent, Run Deep' which although dealt with more contemporary battles at sea (WWII), also featured a classic battle of wits between unseen adversaries. We never get to meet Jack's nemesis directly, but we learn by his battle tactics that he is a worthy opponent and a lot like Jack himself.
'MASTER AND COMMANDER' is a movie that I never tire of watching, and each time I see it I learn something new. It has its weaknesses like every movie does. It lacks continuity and subplots. It lacks character development of some of the more interesting supporting actors. Often I found it hard to keep track of who is who when everyone is referred to by their last names. Yet, all in all, 'MASTER AND COMMANDER' is a must-see movie and a must-own DVD.

Leopards are the most geographically widespread of all cats and have a great ability to live undetected alongside human settlements.
The Northern Chinese leopard family at Howletts are a particular favourite with our visitors. These striking cats are one of the rarest subspecies of leopard. Sadly their numbers are shrinking in the wild due to habitat loss and a lack of wild prey.
Leopards in general are in the odd position of being endangered in many parts of their range and relatively common and something of a pest in others. They are the most geographically widespread of all cats and have a great ability to live undetected alongside human settlements.


Mao [Mahon] has been the capital of Menorca, since the British moved it from Ciutadella in 1721. The reason being the harbour at 5 km long, over 1 km at its widest point and 15-30m deep it is one of the largest natural harbours in the world. This coupled with Its location in the Mediterranean, has made it a strategic stronghold for many nations throughout history.
The port itself is relaxing by day and buzzing by night. The bars and restaurants along the portside come alive at night it is easy to spend many hours down in the port, watching the ships, admiring the view, enjoying the hospitality of the restaurants, or just sat taking in the atmosphere.
There are many historical buildings, the oldest being the Arch de San Roque the only remains of what was once the wall that encircled the town, the old road to Alaior passed through this gateway. Situated a little way down this road is the Town Hall, a typically Menorcan building. built in 1631 and restored around the 1780's, it still has the clock given to the Menorcan's by the English Governor, Richard Kane. Inside there is a gallery featuring paintings of famous Menorcan's.
Also in this square is the Church of Santa Maria which was rebuilt between 1748 and 1772 and is home to a great organ with over 3000 pipes. Behind this is the Plaza de la Conquesta, in the center a monument has been erected to the memory of King Alfonso III who conquered Menorca from the Moslems in 1287. Also of note in this square is the Public Library housed in an 18th century mansion known as the Casa de Cultura.
The town itself has plenty to offer the visitor. Most of the shopping is along pedestrian streets with wonderful cake shops, swish boutiques, leather, pottery and fresh fish and food in the markets.
The town's market now resides in a building which was originally a convent, built In 1751 which has been beautifully restored lately and is the venue for musical events throughout the year. Built underground beneath the market building is a large Spar supermarket which is well stocked and is very competitive price wise so if your in the town it's worth calling in and stocking up.
With narrow streets to explore, pleasant shady squares with welcoming pavement cafes and shopping that ranges from the twice weekly market to the expensive designer boutiques. Mao is a must on every visit to Menorca.
More photographs of Mao [Mahon] and Es Castell can be found in our Photo gallery We now have over 60 large quality photographs of menorca in our library, and in our panorama photo section.

Most of us, and our children may have learned these lessons about money from our role models (Mum and Dad), and so the cycle goes on.
I just bet you have said, or will say in the next month 'don't put your hat or coat on yet, you won't feel the benefit when you go outside'. Yes, a few wry smiles there I suspect!
What are the lessons I can teach my children about money?
We are role models for our children.
In his book The Seven Stages of Money Maturity, my great friend and mentor George Kinder outlines the influence of childhood on our relationship to money. We tend to either model our parents, or rebel. This is why two siblings (and I am one of these) may well have completely polar opposite approaches to their finances. One may squirrel and save, the other, may well look for experiences over balances. Maybe that is why I had a Paddington Bear money box many years ago when we opened an account, yet my sister opted for a £5 deposit! (psssst – I still have the money box somewhere – I bet her £5 has gone by now).
Learn the art of saying NO!
It's the school holidays, or you have been away on business, isn't it just great to spend time (and money) with the children. By never saying 'NO', a sense of entitlement can be established, leading to unhealthy money habits later in life. So how do we combat this reluctance to appear mean? Maybe by packing a picnic (children love that), bringing an understanding of value and cost of food. There are many fun experiences for free which we can find – woods + river + mud = a memorable day out.
A weekly allowance, building on the understanding of above. There are many great books and strategies around this. A good approach may be to segment money – 20% for short term saving, 20% for long term saving, 50% for spending now, and 10% for donating to charity, giving to buskers or the homeless. With modern technology, we now have pre-paid debit cards, which can build healthy habits, and avoid a continual reliance on the bank of mum and dad every week.
This supports the understanding of greater costs. If you work with a Financial Planner, they will, I am sure, include discussions with your children as part of the ongoing financial coaching relationship – we certainly do at Serenity Financial Planning. By including children (especially when it has a direct impact on them) in a financial discussion, the outcome will appear more just to them – hopefully. Take the holiday of a lifetime for a minute. By including children in the discussion of cost, and how you are going to pay for it, allowing them to come up with some ideas and talk through them will open their eyes, give them ownership, and make it all the more wonderful when the plan comes to fruition.
So, involve your children in financial discussions, teach them good disciplines, be aware you are their role models, and never be afraid to say no – easing that pain for you by offering an alternative.

Piecing It Together
Breaking It Apart
Top 10 Film Scores Of The Decade (Special Episode)
On this special episode of Piecing It Together, one of my oldest friends and fellow composer TJ Kross joins me to talk about our picks for the best Film Scores of the decade. This is a very special episode for me because I spent most of this decade chasing the dream of being a film music composer, so it's obviously a subject near and dear to my heart.
The Lighthouse (Featuring Bee Garner)
On the 98th episode of Piecing It Together, Bee Garner joins me for a Robert Pattinson reunion of sorts (she previously was on the High Life episode) with our conversation about Robert Eggers' The Lighthouse (also starring Willem Dafoe). This A24 film starts at crazy and just goes off the rails from there, masterfully acted and shot in gorgeous black & white. Puzzle pieces include The Shining, Persona, Eraserhead and Step Brothers.
The Peanut Butter Falcon (Featuring Chad Clinton Freeman)
On the 85th episode of Piecing It Together, Chad Clinton Freeman returns to the show to talk about the sweetest movie you'll see this year, The Peanut Butter Falcon. A man with downs syndrome escapes from a hospital and goes on the run with a southern Shia LeBeouf as they travel the country to enroll in wrestling school. Puzzle pieces include Hunt For The Wilderpeople, Swiss Army Man, Wizard of Oz and Into The Wild.
To Dust (Featuring Kris Krainock)
On the 60th episode of Piecing It Together, Kris Krainock returns with a movie we both loved and have been waiting a long time to talk about. To Dust from Director Shawn Snyder, which we saw in theaters a few months ago, finally is out on VOD. It's the story of a Hasidic Jew whose wife dies. Grief stricken, he enlists the help of a community college professor to help him figure out what will actually, physically and biologically happen to her body when it's buried. It's a weird one. Puzzle pieces include A Serious Man, Election, Eraserhead and Swiss Army Man.

MercadoLibre has risen smartly amid the sliding economies and markets of its Latin American turf. The online marketplace showed better than 35% revenue growth in its March 2013 quarter, spurring its shares (ticker: MELI) to an all-time high of $128. Even at the more subdued recent price of $112, the Buenos Aires-based counterpart to Amazon.com (AMZN) trades at better than 30 times Wall Street's earnings forecast for next year.
Ironically, the disjointed economies of Venezuela and Argentina have helped juice MercadoLibre's results. That's because the company measures its revenue from those hyperinflating markets at the official exchange rates, which are, frankly, economic fictions. In Venezuela, where MercadoLibre got 15% of last year's revenue, currency controls have kept businesses from obtaining dollars; and when commercial foreign-exchange transactions occur, they value the bolivar at 75% less than the official exchange rate for dollars. Many companies report difficulties in measuring their results from Latin America's highly inflationary markets—among them Revlon (REV), Herbalife (HLF), and EMC (EMC)—but the issue may be most material for MercadoLibre, which gets about 40% of its dollar-reported revenue from Argentina and Venezuela.
"Investors are misled by this accounting," says Mark Roberts, an investment analyst whose Off Wall Street Consulting Group estimates that MercadoLibre's earnings last year would have been nearly 20% lower if the company had translated its results at market, rather than official, forex rates. Roberts believes that currency problems eventually will push MercadoLibre's shares as low as $50. "It just isn't the business that people think it is," he warns.
In written answers to questions from Barron's, MercadoLibre said its currency-accounting disclosures are similar to those of most other publicly traded companies with a presence in Venezuela. "Given the amount, consistency, and detail of disclosure we have made…regarding our Venezuelan operation," wrote the company's financial chief Pedro Arnt, "[w]e believe investors have an adequate understanding of how that market operates."
MercadoLibre's fans on Wall Street have decided that a hit from currency devaluation won't slow the online business's underlying growth. JPMorgan analyst Andre Baggio, for example, wrote earlier this year that any revenue reduction from an Argentine devaluation would be offset by a decline in operating expenses, while even a steep devaluation in Venezuela would cut the company's value by only about 8%. The Off Wall Street analysts argue that JPMorgan underestimates the profit impact of a devaluation in the Argentina peso.
Adjusted for market exchange rates, MercadoLibre's revenue and earnings-growth rates would look less impressive. Currency devaluations in Venezuela and Argentina would bode poorly for the share price, as well.
Barron's rang the alarm prematurely last year, when we warned that Amazon was heading south into MercadoLibre's territory ("With Amazon in Hot Pursuit…," May 28, 2012). Amazon has hired a country manager for Brazil, where MercadoLibre gets half its revenue, but the North American giant is so far selling only Kindle e-books there. It has yet to roll out a broad online offering in Latin America. Since our article was published, MercadoLibre's stock is up 50%.
MERCADOLIBRE HAS GROWN into the leader of e-commerce in Latin America, since CEO Marcos Galperin hatched the idea as a student at Stanford's business school. Its reported earnings rose more than 30% in 2012, to $2.30 a share, on a 25% jump in revenue, to about $375 million. Cash operating margins on that revenue (ignoring noncash expenses) are almost 40%.
No wonder the firm has ardent fans. Francisco Chevez of HSBC said in May that the stock should go to $154, or 50 times his forecast for forward 12-month earnings.
Inflation is high in the company's key markets. In forex markets over the last 12 months, Argentina's peso dropped by a third against the dollar, while Venezuela's bolivar dropped by two-thirds. While MercadoLibre's headline growth rate for revenue in the March 2013 quarter was 36%, that was measured in local currencies. Adjusted for currency inflation, the growth rate was 23%. By the same token, operating profits grew 26% before currency inflation, but just 15% after translation to dollars.
Currency measurement is one of the big hassles in international accounting. When the data-storage vendor EMC reported March-quarter results, it used the Venezuela-U.S. exchange rate implied by actively traded bonds. Reporting on the same quarter, nutritional supplement vendor Herbalife said it had managed to change bolivars into $200,000 through "alternative legal exchange mechanisms," obtaining an exchange rate that was 75% below the official rate. Argentine businesses routinely convert pesos to dollars at the "blue-chip swap rate," derived from the difference in the price of securities listed on both the Buenos Aires and U.S. exchanges. Peso-dollar exchanges at that rate go for about half the level of the official rate.
MercadoLibre stock might fall 50% or more if its Argentine and Venezuelan results were shown at market, rather than official, currency-exchange rates.
Monetary history suggests that Argentina and Venezuela are fighting losing battles in their attempts to control inflation and fix exchange rates while simultaneously hoping to avoid stifling trade. Both nations have staged slight devaluations (which MercadoLibre reflects in its accounts), but steeper devaluations are inevitable.
A truer measure of exchange will soon appear in Venezuela. With basic goods in short supply, the government says it will start auctioning dollars. Analysts predict these auctions will settle at rates around two-thirds lower than the prior "official" rates used in MercadoLibre's reporting. That measure will be difficult for its auditors to ignore.
MercadoLibre has risen smartly amid the sliding economies and markets of its Latin American turf.

From Copperheads to ZooKeepers: Asheboro baseball team unveils new name
Monica Holland
The Courier-Tribune
Asheboro's Coastal Plain League baseball franchise has a new name, new look and new logo.
On Monday, Asheboro's wood-bat summer league team announced its rebranding from the Copperheads to the ZooKeepers.
"Over the past year or so, we took a long look at our brand and thought this was an ideal time to create something new and fresh. We've always been focused on delivering a fun product for the whole family, so what better theme to build off than Asheboro's biggest attraction? ZooKeepers was a no-brainer!" team owner Doug Pugh said on a new team micro site said.
The change coincides with renovations to McCrary Park, Asheboro's home since its inception in 1999, which included a new infield surface, new dugouts, expansion of the press box, and a new covered seating area.
This season begins May 26, with the ZooKeepers' home opener set for May 28.
The rebranding is, according to the team's site, "intended to elevate the franchise's positioning within the community as a family-first summertime destination," in line with the North Carolina Zoo that shares its home.
The largest natural habitat zoo in the world, the North Carolina Zoo receives almost a million visitors every year. The new team logo, design and identity present many marketing opportunities.
"The most successful identities are born from one-of-a-kind symbols in a particular community and tell a story that is irresistible to root for. Instead of being limited to a single mascot, we thought why not have a whole team of zoo animals? This approach will equip the club with endless activation possibilities — from the characters in the brand to in-person promotions at the ballpark," said Skye Design Studios founder Skye Dillon, who helped develop the brand.
New team colors are khaki, brown, black and jungle green, and the baseball club has already begun planning cross-promotional opportunities with the zoo.
"We would love to see families plan outings where they visit both the zoo and the ballpark throughout the season. As far as the baseball, we will always be committed to fielding some of the best rising talent in the sport and giving our players a stage to hone their skills. Aligning with the zoo concept will enhance the experience for anyone at the ballpark — fans or players — and should be a win-win for our community," Asheboro coach and general manager Jeremy Knight said on the site.
A preliminary collection of ZooKeepers merchandise is already available and is available via order from the club at 336-460-7018 or info@ZKbaseball.com.
