Online advisors are on the rise. Several well-known institutes predict that by 2020, they will manage between US$2.2 trillion to US$3.7 trillion in assets. Thanks to their relatively low cost and easy online accessibility, online advisors are seen to be closing the so-called "advice-gap" by appealing to millennials (ages 18-34) – the same group that is largely disconnected to traditional investment advisors but who are expected to control more than half of U.S. retail assets within the next 15 years[i].
Online advisors are becoming increasingly popular and are transforming the wealth management industry. However, while there has been much discussion about the threat posed by online advisors to traditional industry participants, the trend being witnessed is that online advisors are acting in a complementary manner to traditional investment management platforms. Indeed, the current regulatory framework for online advisors in Canada suggests that online advisors remain some way away from replacing traditional investment management. Rather, Canadian securities rules at present contemplate traditional investment managers using online advisors as tools in order to reach new clients and to simplify investors' experiences.
Online advisors are digital wealth managers. They use information that an investor provides, usually through an online questionnaire, in order to create an investment recommendation. The information used can include such indicators like tolerance for risk, current financial circumstances or specific financial goals (for example, buying a home, saving for retirement or investing for a child's education).
Different online advisors have different approaches to investing and offer different investment products. Some online advisors are programmed with a set portfolios, which cannot be customized, that are recommended based on an investor's answers to a questionnaire. Other online advisors focus on a limited range of products, such as exchange-traded funds. Still others may recommend investing in emerging market funds or smaller companies – investments that could potentially be more volatile. Some online advisors have not been tested under stressed market conditions.
In the United States, online advisors vary from models that require no human interaction to hybrid models that connect the investor with a human investment professional who can assist with the investor's portfolio. Completely automated online advisors may be able to provide personalized investment services at a lower cost by limiting the expenses associated with a human portfolio manager ("PM").
Firms that provide investment advisory services in the United States are generally registered as investment advisors with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and other state securities authorities. As a result, online advisors must comply with the same securities laws applicable to other investment advisors even though they provide an automated service. For example, online advisors, like traditional investment advisors, are required to file a Form ADV – a uniform form used to register with both the SEC and state securities authorities. A firm that offers an online advising service may also be affiliated with a broker that can execute the online advisor's recommendations by buying or selling specific securities for the investor's account. That broker may be subject to additional regulatory requirements. Ultimately, online advisors have several regulations with which they must comply before offering investment services in the United States.
In Canada, regulation of online advisors is arguably more strenuous than in the United States. Notably, regulators require online advisors to fulfill the same registration and conduct requirements as regular PMs, including know-your-client and suitability obligations. This means that Canadian online advisors must operate on a "hybrid" model in which an online program is used for efficiency but which ultimately leaves decision-making to a human advising representative ("AR"). This is because the registration and conduct requirements cannot be fulfilled by a purely automatic service – a human advisor has to assess the client. Moreover, online advisors are held to the same fiduciary like standard as traditional advisors.
One source of guidance for online advisors is a notice published by the Canadian Securities Administrators ("CSA") – CSA Staff Notice 31-342: Guidance for Portfolio Managers Regarding Online Advice ("CSA Notice 31-342"). CSA Notice 31-342 notes: "[t]here is no "online advice" exemption from the normal conditions of registration for a PM". The CSA explains that before implementing an investment service, the firm operating the online advisor must file substantial documentation. The AR behind the online advisor then needs to ensure the portfolio proposed by the software for the client is in fact suitable. Once the portfolio is selected, a PM then needs to ensure that the client's investments are in line with the initial model portfolio that had been approved. This could include manually rebalancing the client's portfolio where appropriate. These guidelines suggest that Canadian securities regulators view online advisors to be an online platform through which PMs can provide investment services and not a stand-alone wealth management service.
a requirement for the independent consultant to submit progress reports to the OSC related to the implementation of the terms and conditions.
Another source of guidance for some online dealers is the Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada's ("IIROC") Notice 18-0076 which applies to "order execution only" ("OEO") services offered by its dealer members. OEO services are different from other online dealer services: OEO firms provide clients with an online trading platform that allows them to trade in securities independently without any recommendations or suitability assessment from the OEO firm itself. In fact, IIROC OEO regulations prohibit OEO firms from providing any recommendations to clients. As long as OEO firms comply with this prohibition, IIROC rules exempt the OEO firm from certain regulatory requirements applicable to other dealer members. OEO firms are still subject to some IIROC requirements such as certain know-your-client requirements. Notice 18-0076 sets out guidelines to assist OEO firms in complying with regulatory requirements, such as guidelines on what constitutes a "recommendation". For example, recommendations could include actions on social media such as re-tweeting, "liking", or sharing a third-party post.
Do Canadian online advisors comply with the regulatory guidelines?
In early 2016, the OSC began a series of compliance reviews of Ontario-based online advisors. The reviews were meant to determine, among other things, whether the registrant complied with relevant provisions of Ontario securities law, terms and conditions of registration (if applicable) and CSA Notice 31-342. The OSC summarized its findings in a July 2017 report, the Annual Summary Report for Dealers, Advisors and Investment Fund Managers.
failure to provide notice to the OSC when there was a material change to the online advisor's business model.
As a result of the compliance reviews, the OSC issued deficiency reports, warning letters, and imposed terms and conditions on several registrants. The OSC reminded potential online advisors of their obligations to comply with CSA Notice 31-342 and to submit their plans to the OSC for review prior to launch.
These compliance reviews indicate that online advisors are not immune to regulations applicable to regular investment management services. So long as these regulations apply, online advisors in Canada may continue to rise in popularity but will not completely replace traditional portfolio management.
Do the creators of the technology have adequate understanding of security analysis and drivers of the capital markets?
Do the registered advisors have adequate training and understanding of the how the technology works?
Do investors understand how to properly provide the informational inputs?
Is the technology free of bias or has it been programmed to make decisions that improperly benefit conflicted parties?
It remains to be seen how regulators respond to the role of the technology in the investment decision making process and whether the introduction of technology as an integral element of the investment decision making process requires refinement to existing licensing and operational regulations.

Want to Take Care of Your Employees? A New Study Says Tell Them to Call In Sick. (Almost 10 Million Americans Have Already Come Down With the Flu)
For every 1 percent improvement in the employment rate, the researchers found, we get a 16 percent jump in the number of flu-related physician visits.
Great news: The unemployment rate in the United States was 3.5 percent in December, representing a historic low.
Not-so-great news: We're on track for a historic flu season. There have been 9.7 million cases as of the beginning of January (with five more months to go).
Now, a study led by three U.S. economists suggests the two trends may be related.
The rate correlates highest in the retail and health care industries, which are the industries that have the highest levels of human contact.
Let's talk about the flu
Disclosure: I have the flu as I write this, and it is no joke.
Aches, chills, fever, cough, and lethargy like I can't even tell you. I must have slept nearly 20 hours out of the past 24.
In fact, as soon as I finish this article, it's back to bed.
I got my flu shot, and I got to the doctor and went on oseltamivir (also known as Tamiflu) quickly, and I'm generally a healthy person.
So, basically, if you're going to get the flu, I'm probably in about the best situation to get it.
But, still, it's no fun. And you should do everything you can to keep yourself -- and your employees -- from getting it.
The modern workplace
As the economists wrote in an earlier working paper version of their article, the flu is transmitted when healthy people either touch surfaces that have the virus on them or inhale it when an infected person coughs or sneezes.
That means that the modern workplace is almost tailor-made for transmission. Among the factors:
Commuting via public transportation
Working in climate-controlled indoor offices
Sharing workspaces
Placing young children in daycare
"If the features of the working environment promote the spread of the flu, then being out of the labor force and away from these environments could help reduce the spread of the flu," they wrote.
The study, by professors Sara Markowitz of Emory University, Erik T. Nesson of Ball State University, and Joshua Robinson of the University of Alabama at Birmingham, was published in the journal Economics & Human Biology.
As an employer, you're basically the first line of defense for the rest of us. So here's what you can do:
Proactively tell your employees that if they think they may have the flu, they should stay home -- and see a doctor.
Similarly, flu or not, ask anyone who gets a fever of more than 100 degrees to stay home for at least 24 hours.
Encourage everyone who works for you to get their flu shots. If it's not practical to offer them onsite, offer paid time off for people to go get them.
Remind them that it's not too late: The Centers for Disease Control says the peak flu season runs through February and into March, but lasts overall until May.
Be especially lenient on remote working policies, especially when you have employees who may have children or other family members who become sick, and need care.
On the easiest practical level, make sure there are lots of "tissues, no-touch trash cans, hand soap, and/or hand sanitizer" in your workplace (this via the CDC).
On that last point, some other studies have shown hand sanitizer might not be as effective as hand washing in killing the influenza virus. It's sort of like the chicken soup of remedies: couldn't hurt.
"Since a person may be infectious while experiencing mild symptoms, this greatly increases the probability that the virus will spread to other workers," Nesson told U.S. News. "This implies that firms should consider more generous sick day policies, particularly during the flu season."
Speaking of which, I won't be at work tomorrow. Here's hoping I haven't spread the flu to anyone else.

The College Volleyball Coach: Send some Sunshine!
Readers - Thought I would provide a forum for volleyfolks to submit something that makes you smile about college volleyball or volleyball for that matter. One of the things which I tend to get caught up in my job is the politics and/or reality of collegiate athletics (which rarely makes me smile) - almost a situation where you can't see the forest for all the trees.
One of the ways I try to get my positive perspective back is to remember things from my playing days or funny situations with my teams as a coach. In the end, it is a wonderful game to play and coach; and, as a way to earn a living, it is much better than so many other options!
For instance, I always smile when I see the very young junior volleyball club players whose knee pads are wider than their legs! How do they stay up?
So, to this end, I encourage you to e-mail me with things that make you smile about volleyball - your submission can be two words or twenty paragraphs! I will compile any e-mails and post them in a few days!
Smiling is a good thing.

Archaeogenetic analyses provide new insights into social inequality 4000 years ago: nuclear families lived together with foreign women and individuals from lower social classes in the same household.
Social inequality already existed in southern Germany 4000 years ago, even within one household, a new study published in the journal Science finds. Archaeological and archaeogenetic analyses of Bronze Age cemeteries in the Lech Valley, near Augsburg, show that families of biologically related persons with higher status lived together with unrelated women who came from afar and also had a high status, according to their grave goods. In addition, a larger number of local but clearly less well-off individuals were found in the same cemeteries, which were small gravesites associated with single homesteads. The researchers conclude that social inequality was already part of households structures in that time and region. Whether the less well-off individuals were servants or slaves can only be speculated upon. .

In Central Europe, the Bronze Age covers the period from 2200 to 800 BCE. At that time people acquired the ability to cast bronze. This knowledge led to an early globalization, since the raw materials had to be transported across Europe. In an earlier study, the current team had shown that, 4000 years ago, the majority of women in the Lech Valley came from abroad and may have played a decisive role in the transfer of knowledge. Supraregional networks were apparently fostered by marriages and institutionalized forms of mobility.

The current archaeological-scientific project was situated at the Heidelberg Academy of Sciences and led by Philipp Stockhammer from the LMU in Munich together with Johannes Krause and Alissa Mittnik from the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Human History in Jena and the University of Tübingen. The researchers attempted to investigate the effects of this mobility and other concurrent changes. The excavations south of Augsburg, which took place at the sites of Bronze Age homestead farms and their associated graveyards, enabled archaeologists to zoom into the Bronze Age in unprecedented resolution in order to investigate how the transition from the Stone Age to the Bronze Age affected the households of that time. "Wealth was correlated with either biological kinship or foreign origin. The nuclear family passed on their property and status over generations. But at every farm we also found poorly equipped people of local origin," says Philipp Stockhammer, Professor of Prehistoric Archaeology at LMU Munich. This finding suggests a complex social structure of households, as is also known from Classical Greece and Rome. In Roman times, slaves were also part of the family unit, but had a different social status. However, these people in the Lech Valley lived over 1500 years earlier. "This shows how long the history of social inequality in family structures goes back in time," Stockhammer continues.
Stable social structures over 700 years
It was already known that the first larger hierarchical social structures evolved in the Bronze Age. The findings of the current study were surprising in that social differences existed within a single household and were maintained over generations.
Grave goods can reveal the social status of the deceased to archaeologists. In the Lech Valley, weapons and elaborate jewelry were only found in the graves of closely related family members and women who came into the family from long distances, up to several hundred kilometers away. Other unrelated individuals of local origin were found in the same cemeteries without such high-status grave goods.
This study also succeeded in reconstructing for the first time family trees from prehistoric cemeteries spanning four to five generations. Surprisingly, however, these only included the male lineages. The female descendants apparently left the farms where they reached adulthood. The mothers of the sons, on the other hand, were all women who had moved in from afar. "Archaeogenetics provides us with a completely new view of the past. Until recently, we would not have thought it possible to examine marriage rules, social structure and social inequality in prehistory," says Johannes Krause, Director of the Department of Archaeogenetics at the Max Planck Institute for Human History.

The archaeologists on the project were able to compare the degree of kinship with the grave goods and the location of the graves and show how couples and their children were buried. This was made possible by generating genome-wide data from more than 100 ancient skeletons, which allowed reconstructing family tress from prehistoric bone. Only the genetically unrelated local members of a household were buried without significant grave goods. "Unfortunately, we cannot say whether these individuals were servants and maids or perhaps even enslaved," says Alissa Mittnik. "What is certain is that through the male lines, the farmsteads were passed from generation to generation and this system was stable over at least 700 years, across the transition from the Stone Age to the Bronze Age. The Lech Valley shows how early social inequality within individual households can be found."

Texel (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈtɛsəl]) is a municipality and an island in the Netherlands, in the province of North Holland. It is the largest and most populated of the Frisian Islands in the Wadden Sea, and also the westernmost of this archipelago. The next island in the archipelago, to the north of Texel, is Vlieland.
The name Texel is Frisian, but because of historical sound-changes in Dutch, where all -x- sounds have been replaced with -s- sounds (compare for instance English Fox, Frisian Fokse, German Fuchs with Dutch Vos), the name is typically pronounced Tessel in Dutch.
The island includes the seven villages De Cocksdorp, De Koog, De Waal, Den Burg, Den Hoorn, Oosterend, and Oudeschild, and the small townships of Bargen, De Nes, Dijkmanshuizen, Driehuizen, Harkebuurt, 't Horntje, Midden-Eierland, Molenbuurt, Nieuweschild, Noorderbuurt, Ongeren, Oost, Spang, Spijkdorp, Tienhoven, Westermient, Zevenhuizen, and Zuid-Eierland.

Review: U.B.U: A Cautionary Tale Of Catastrophe (Tooth And Sinew)
Venue: Kings Cross Theatre (Kings Cross NSW), Sep 10 – 21, 2019
Playwright: Richard Hilliar
Director: Richard Hilliar
Cast: Tristan Black, Lib Campbell, Rachael Colquhoun-Fairweather, Emily Elise, Sam Glissan, Gideon Payten-Griffiths, Shane Russon, Idam Sondhi, Nicole Wineberg

The prime minister has a secret plan to depose the king, and have him replaced by a civilian best described as a lazy idiot, in Richard Hilliar's U.B.U: A Cautionary Tale Of Catastrophe. PM Fuller Bjullshitt owns mines, and wants to make sure that his personal interests are protected by laws of the land that continue to be neglectful of environmental concerns. Given the preposterous state of politics today, the play's premise is entirely within the realm of possibility, but written in an absurdist style, we are confronted with the lines between fiction and truth, except there is no hiding the fact that many of the worst things being depicted are no different from the news that we are subjected to in real life.
Hilliar's exuberant consolidation of current affairs and contemporary ideals, is a pertinent representation of Australian culture as it stands, turned satirical by its colourful wit, base but clever, in appropriate alignment with popular notions of our national identity. Having brought his own considerable skills as director to U.B.U, Hilliar's show is rambunctious, fun-filled and campy, a highly entertaining work that facilitates discussions about doing the right thing, beyond left and right conceptions of politics. Costumes by Tanya Woodland, along with Ash Bell's hair and makeup design, are a visual feast, powerfully enhanced by Ryan McDonald's imaginative lights.
Extraordinary passion from all nine of its ensemble cast, makes it an occasion to remember. Sam Glissan and Emily Elise are as mad as each other, playing Pa and Ma Ubu with an incredible wildness that creates a grotesque quality, so reflective of what we feel to be happening right now all over the world. Lib Campbell and Idam Sondhi are another formidable couple, with exquisite timing and chemistry, making us laugh at all the ugliness that we know ourselves to be capable of. Tristan Black's incisiveness and precision as Bjullshitt ensures that we are attentive to both the meanings and hilarity of U.B.U; his "Mr. Segue's Song" is an unequivocal highlight.
The show ends with a heavy-handed, earnest call to action. An uncontainable need to appeal to the body politic disrupts the entertainment, as the urgency to make its point finally exceeds its commitment to theatrical magic. Resignation is perhaps too easy, and U.B.U wants to help us avoid it. As we sit and watch everything crumble, the urge to submit to that seemingly inevitable extinction of our kind, can indeed feel irresistible. Humans however will always be defined by our activity and conduct, and for as long as we are here doing something, there is always the inescapable decision between good and bad.

5 Questions with Idam Sondhi and Nicole Wineberg
Posted in Suzy's 5 Questions	by Suzy Wrong
Idam Sondhi
Nicole Wineberg: You play 4 characters, 3 of which are puppets… what's that like?
Idam Sondhi: It's both a great challenge and rewarding playing several characters. 3 of which are puppets – it's something I've never done. However, the nature of the play and the amount of time we got to improvise and try different things out was very liberating. The time allowed me to get comfortable in the skin and souls of our fabric friends.
Why is U.B.U relevant to today's audiences?
U.B.U touches upon some extremely important issues which effect each individual on this planet. Our environment is sacred and a home we often take for granted. U.B.U deals with the repercussions of neglect which are caused by human tendencies such as greed, power and money. We need to have more self awareness and work at getting better and sharing vital knowledge to the future generation at restoring what's broken about our environment. It takes each and everyone one of us to make a change and take care of the planet.
Is U.B.U just potty humour or is there something in there for the more discerning of tastes?
U.B.U is for everyone! It allows us to self-reflect and does it in a tasteful way (even though all the flavours might not taste good). It's theatre you've never seen before!
What's your favourite character and line in the play?
I love all the characters so much! Especially because we explored each one individually! But Bob and Bill (the royal twins) have a special place in my heart – played wonderfully by Shane and Rachel. My favourite line is "grotty, snotty, spottibots!" You will only know what that means if you come and watch the play!
Could you please sum up our version of U.B.U in 5 words?
Grotesque, truthful, hilarious, experiential, memorable!
Nicole Wineberg
Idam Sondhi: Tell us a bit about your character.
She's a princess who has never faced anything resembling hardship who then is thrust into a horrible situation by Ubu and his followers. She also has a really good wig. The Sansa Stark of white privilege!
What was it like being part on an ensemble cast like this?
Exciting, entertaining, terrifying and educational, all rolled into one spicy burrito. It was invigorating working with a group of people who were so willing to look foolish and grotesque for the sake of storytelling and humour.
What should people take away from the messages in U.B.U?
a) Take climate change seriously and do something about it! It doesn't matter how little or insignificant it is, just make a start and commit to making a change!
b) There's a fart joke to suit every taste!
What was your most memorable moment during the rehearsal process?
It was actually the audition process! We were stunned with the sheer amount of talent and weirdness Sydney actors have! The stuff we saw will haunt us till the day we die, that's for sure!
If you could eat any dish every day for the rest of your life what would it be and why?
A medley of deep fried potato: your standard hand-cut chip, crinkle-cut and shoestring fries, gems and wedges. Delish. If you have to ask why, you're an idiot.

Review: Osama The Hero (Tooth And Sinew Theatre)
Venue: Kings Cross Theatre (Kings Cross NSW), Jan 21 – Feb 4, 2017
Playwright: Dennis Kelly
Cast: Tel Benjamin, Lynden Jones, Poppy Lynch, Joshua McElroy, Nicole Wineberg
Image by Ross Waldron
Just slightly beneath the skin of every human existence lies the barely contained need for violence, but like every propensity that we try to suppress, it finds expression in unexpected ways. Dennis Kelly's Osama The Hero discusses our thirst for blood, looking at where that appetite comes from, and how it manifests. We find ourselves in an English housing estate, observing a group of neighbours inflicting cruel harm on one of their own.
It is a tale about scapegoating, and the habitual transference of our evil desires onto easy targets. In the case of Kelly's play, young Gary, and his innocence, become the object of the group's brutality, and in the process of his persecution, revelations are made about our oft-unexplained and neglected violent selves.
Director Richard Hilliar goes to great pains for every one of the play's savage moments to occur with great power. The transgressions are hideous, and they are presented as such. A cultural gap exists between us and the working classes of England located at the centre of the drama, and it is arguable if the production's interest in that specificity of experience has been made to translate effectively. As we are kept dazzled by the uniqueness of a cultural other, we often lose sight of the universality that can allow the work to resonate more intimately.
The ensemble of five is unquestionably energetic and committed, but the challenge posed by Kelly's language and its accompanying encumbrance of dialects, can be a cause for distraction. Our attention alternates between hearing meanings, and observing the unsatisfying labour put into achieving what is ultimately a cosmetic accuracy. At their best however, the actors provide masochistic delight in an atmosphere of terrifying menace, the kind of which one would hope to encounter only at the theatre. Nicole Wineberg is particularly memorable in a scene involving her character Louise's obsession over a video showing a man being killed. She brings the show to an intense peak, with the palpable depiction of a woman lost in evil and dread.
Bad people are almost always other people. If Osama The Hero succeeds, we should see ourselves in its characters, and gain a better understanding of the way we operate, as individuals and collectives, in these post-9/11 times of terror and fear. There is perhaps no solution to our unyielding need to make enemies out of fellow human beings, but knowing how that process works is essential if our evolution is to be progressive. When Osama bin Laden was executed, we never really expected the world to suddenly become a better place, but it certainly quenched the thirst of our carnivorous vengeance, if only for a moment.

5 Questions with Poppy Lynch and Joshua McElroy
Poppy Lynch
Joshua McElroy: Do you think taking up an acting career will make you happy?
Poppy Lynch: When I was about 15 I gave up ballet dancing. Something that I had done for so long and at such a level. Up until that moment it was what I had in mind as the career for me. When I quit I had no artistic outlet and somehow found acting through school performances and drama class. And the rush I felt was unlike what I'd felt before. Cause I could now be all these characters and escape whatever teen angst I was suffering in the real world. The most important thing for me is that acting gives me happiness even when I fail. It is the one thing I'm passionate about. I don't think those who is less than passionate should take up an acting career cause it's such a hard and damaging business at times. So short answer is YES! And as soon as that's not the answer I won't bother doing it.
Why do you think the play is relevant for an Australian audience?
Right now the world is suffering a scare tactic war. People in power including our own government and media; are using fear to cement their lead. The terror groups of this time (which are a part of or surround ISIS) have become the tool for this fear tactic war. And people such as Donald Trump and our own Pauline Hanson use images and words of violence to encourage fear which is an emotion that often initiates hate. Those who are influenced fear ALL that come under the bracket of a terror threat. But this means that innocent people are also under fire. Because their beliefs or appearance somehow come under the bracket that the people in power have created. Osama The Hero is about people fearing something and going out to kill that fear with hate and violence. The clincher is that these people don't have evidence. "You don't need evidence for terrorists."
What is your biggest fear?
I hate cockroaches! But that's not the biggest fear I guess. I think being alone. I don't mean at one specific moment I quite like doing things alone! I just mean at a later stage in life I fear losing all the people around me. Which is radical and might be far fetched but it's often something I think about.
What do you and your character have in common?
She has been through a lot of horrible stuff. It's hard for me to find something in common with the abuse she has copped and the life she has been given. But I think she has a high level of intrigue. She wants to be involved and I think she is observant. Those are some things I notice in me.
What is an artist's biggest responsibility?
Oh this is a hard one. I think I like the idea that one of an artists biggest responsibilities is to confront. Because confrontation relates to exposing a certain level of truth that resonates with the audience. And I hope that that resonation would result in some sort of change being made. Osama The Hero relates to this I think. We want to confront to get the message across. That whole message about humans and how we hate what we fear and what that hate results in.
Joshua McElroy
Poppy Lynch: When did acting become a career goal? Was there a moment or person that encouraged you to pursue it?
Joshus McElroy: I was always a very theatrical, attention seeking individual from a young age. Funnily enough Suzanne Millar who now runs bAKEHOUSE Theatre Company was the one who showed me I could turn that into performance. The moment I decided to 100% commit to the arts as a career choice was the moment I quit my Degree Of Commerce at Macquarie University.
Being a somewhat new and young artist in the business what are the main challenges (personal or career driven) that you've faced?
Cash. Cash is a hard to come by. Everything else is great fun.
What is the leading theme or concept in Osama The Hero? And how does that expect to appeal or interest a modern audience?
The most prevalent theme for me in the play is fear. Everyone is terrified of anyone who challenges the status quo. New ideas are deemed dangerous, the people who present them – bad. We silence, censor and label people rather than discuss ideas. Politics and the media are increasingly vicious and violent. I don't think the audience will find it hard at all to relate.
You are stuck on a desert island. Who is the one character you'd choose to be there with?
I would probably choose Louise. Mandy is too young to be resourceful. I feel like me and Francis would kill each other before starvation or dehydration got to us. Mark is too old. Louise would have the strongest will to live out of the bunch I think.
What is something that the audience will come out of Osama The Hero with in mind? (Without ruining it too much)
Everyone will have different thoughts as they walk out of the theatre. But every time I finish reading this play two things come up for me. 1. Is there such thing as 'good and evil or are there just mistakes and not mistakes?'. 2. Is there any situation where silencing someone is beneficial?
Poppy Lynch and Joshua McElroy can be seen in Osama The Hero by Dennis Kelly.

Venue: Old Fitz Theatre
Review: Year Of The Family (Tooth And Sinew Theatre)
Venue: Kings Cross Theatre Kings Cross NSW), Feb 10 – 20, 2016
Playwright: Anthony Neilson
Cast: Peter-William Jamieson, Brendan Miles, Brooke Ryan, Nicole Wineberg, David Woodland
Human sexuality is a fascinating subject. Each individual's bedroom inclinations vary as widely as the way we eat our food. No two appetites are exactly the same, yet we think of sex as a universal experience, and its taboo nature means that we rarely discuss its nitty-gritty at depth, choosing instead to imagine simple paradigms that would apply to every person. In Anthony Neilson's Year Of The Family, sex is anything but normative. Its characters indulge in secret intimacies, and as we observe the functioning of each libido, connections are made with the unfolding dysfunctions of their family lives. Neilson appropriates the theatrical quality of that relationship between family and sex for a text that is tragic, comedic, and many shades in between, to reveal the repercussions that can occur as a result of familial breakdowns. His writing is playful and dynamic, but also surprisingly delicate. It broaches difficult subjects, but refuses to be exploitative or sensationalist.
Richard Hilliar's powerful direction brings intensity to a staging that seeks to simultaneously entertain and provoke. There is an adventurous streak reflected in the clever use of space, especially in scene transitions (with the help of Liam O'Keefe's very effective lighting design), along with a relentless and captivating energy to his creation that makes for compelling viewing. Hilliar's sensitivity to dramatic tension is the production's greatest strength, and the results are very satisfying indeed.
The cast is uniformly lively and focussed, but some roles are interpreted with more resonance than others. Brendan Miles provides intrigue and an appropriate restraint to the mysterious Henry. It is an understated, and literally quiet, performance that offers a counterpoint to the other larger than life parts, but Miles leaves a strong impression with the presence and precision he brings to the stage. As the manic Felicity, Nicole Wineberg is responsible for the more euphoric portions of the show. The actor presents a wildness that alternates between comical and terrifying, and provides the production with its delightful yet volatile spirit, but the role could benefit from greater emotional complexity.
The people in the play are troubled. They are trapped in heartache, unable to be released from the past. They form their own re-enactments of broken histories in cathartic attempts to move forward, but are as yet unsuccessful. Nevertheless they continue to strive, even if wallowing is part of the process. It is fact that we do not choose our families, but debatable whether we can be free of them. There is little happiness in Year Of The Family, but it is us who must decide where and how the matter of choice figures in their respective narratives, and then in our own lives, reflect on the ways we are entrapped, voluntarily or otherwise.
5 Questions with Brooke Ryan and Peter William Jamieson
Peter William Jamieson: What are three words that define your character 'Claire'?
Brooke Ryan: Naive, conflicted and raw.
You've got an interesting scene with Tabasco Sauce, how have you been preparing for it?
That scene is about so much more than just the sauce! But to answer your question… it's taken teamwork, research & imagination to bring it to life. No method acting here!
What are you thoughts on the director and other actors in the process?
They really tickle my funny bone. All of them. And I'm waiting for someone to turn into a raging diva, but I'm probably the closest we've got to it!
Half the job's done when you're made to feel safe to explore this content – so I'm feeling particularly blessed in that department.
I love (the director) Rich's brain. He's a very clever man. Daring, edgy and funny too.
I get excited about playing with these people, they make me lift my game.
What's one thing you want the audience to reflect upon when they leave the theatre?
So long as they're reflecting on something, my job's done. I'm not aiming towards selling a particular message, that's too heady. I think the play will speak for itself and resonate with everyone differently. Early on I was concerned that some of the content may potentially trigger negative things in people but that's no longer my concern. I trust that if you're there and you're watching it whatever comes up for you is supposed to, pleasant or otherwise.
What's been the funniest moment in rehearsals thus far?
Answering this openly jeopardises the project… But keep your eye on David Woodland, he is one funny fellow.
Peter William Jamieson
Brooke Ryan: In your own words- what is this play about?
Peter William Jamieson: The sheer thrill of everything that's bad, wicked and foul.
What attracted you to the role of Sid?
The fact he is the absolute opposite of me.
If Sid were an animal, what animal would he be?
Red belly black snake.
Everyone involved is really pushing each other to do the best possible work. Richard's vision for the piece is so vivid and inspiring.
You write as well as act. Which outlet do you prefer and why? And are you working on any projects at the moment?
Currently working on adapting a screenplay from a play I wrote called Retrograde.

Review: Scenes From An Execution (Tooth And Sinew Theatre)
Venue: Old Fitzroy Theatre (Woolloomooloo NSW), May 13 – 31, 2014
Playwright: Howard Barker
Actors: Lucy Miller, Jeremy Waters, Mark Lee, Katherine Shearer, Nicole Wineberg, Peter Maple, Brendan Miles, Lynden Jones

There are many pleasures to be found at the theatre but what we seek essentially, is to be fascinated by the unusual talents of live performers, and to satisfy the craving we have for stories that are engaging and meaningful. Howard Barker's Scenes From An Execution is strangely hypnotic. His tale unfolds slowly, taking unconventional and sometimes uncomfortable diversions, but the promise of a substantial imminence is always palpable, and the conclusion is certainly gratifying. Barker's writing is poetically beautiful, and his ideas are inspiringly radical. His varied themes include love, war, art, religion, politics and propaganda, covering with depth, many of the big questions that are as relevant today as they had been in Venice 1571, where the play is situated.
A remarkable feature of the work is its extraordinary protagonist Galactia, a painter of note, and a woman with a liberated and unorthodox lifestyle. Our own values are examined through her resolute belief in an artist's responsibility to uphold truths, even in the face of great adversity and sacrifice. Barker's heroine is powerful and awe-inspiring. She is a feminist ideal, and sadly, a manifestation that rarely figures in the narratives of our cultures. Galactia's fearless determination and assertive wisdom is realised on the Sydney stage magnificently by actor Lucy Miller. Miller is convincing, compelling and electrifying. She approaches the character with raging imagination and delivers a performance completely arresting in its meticulousness and unpredictability. Even in scenes lit so dim we can barely see, Miller is riveting, and her creation is a woman on a pedestal that we all must aspire to.
Supporting Miller is an exceptional cast. It is a rare gathering (especially in independent theatre) with all actors displaying astounding talent and impressive experience. It is truly a joy to watch these artists work their magic, all performing with gusto as well as nuance, each carving out many memorable moments for themselves. Mark Lee as Urgentino is energetic and full of passion. Sharply ironic, and fabulously witty, Lee's command of the script ensures that his scenes are consistently entertaining, and politically cutting. Jeremy Waters brings a complexity to his role of Carpeta that keeps us intrigued and enthralled. His love affair with Galactia is surprisingly dimensioned, and his depiction of an artist under the control of money and power is simultaneously funny and heartbreaking. Waters is an intense and intelligent actor, whose unmissable performance in the closing moments of Act 1 leaves us breathless.
Director Richard Hillier's obvious talent is his thorough understanding of the craft of acting. He has created all the circumstances required for the cast to unleash their best upon us. Hillier's sensitivity for spaces, whether mental, emotional or physical, allows him to facilitate all the action that happens between actors, and the connection between stage and audience. Hillier indulges in abstractions, but is careful to provide points of focus to always keep us reeled in. His affinity with the the play's core message is a strong one, and the authentic clarity at which he voices it is full of flair, and indeed, admirable.
Death and taxes are said to be the only certainties in life. In Scenes From An Execution, a deconstruction of war and of our political leaders gives us an opportunity to gain insight into our part as mere mortals and pawns in a world of deceit and manipulation, rife with the glorification of needless deaths. Hogwash is ubiquitous but where great art exists, we find the eternal and the truth, and we rediscover the divine within.

Born at 25 weeks, Eliza Mae Hernan faced an uphill battle right away due to a spontaneous perforation of her small intestine at the very early age of just one day old. She received emergency surgery and was on a ventilator for 4 months during her stay in the NICU.
One moment parents Laura and Elliot Hernan will never forget is the day that the doctors told them that they had done everything they could do to help her and that they needed to decide whether to let her continue on her slowly deteriorating course or to take her off of the ventilator.
They decided to wait and pray for a miracle. And they got one. Eliza's "Golden rainbow of pee" meant that her kidney was working. She made an astonishing recovery.
When asked to describe the care they received at St. John's NICU, Laura and Elliot say "we feel that the care we received was above and beyond what we could have ever imagined and we truly feel like Eliza's caregivers loved and took care of her like she was their own".

This zucchini tomato gratin is delicious, gorgeous, and quite easy to make. Leftovers are very good the next day, gently reheated or even cold.
It's almost the end of zucchini season, and I am making the most of the gorgeous, firm zucchinis I can still find at the farmer's market. This zucchini tomato gratin is delicious, gorgeous, and quite easy to make. Zucchini and tomatoes go very well together. And when layered in this zucchini tomato gratin they also look gorgeous.
Who knew – cheese is healthy!
Gratins are so tasty. I really admire the French for teaching us that the best way to make vegetables taste good is to either generously butter them, or add a layer of cheese and bake them. And now that current research says dairy fat is harmless and even beneficial for most healthy people, I feel even better about topping my vegetables with cheese!
Try to use fresh, firm zucchinis and tomatoes in this recipe. It's a simple recipe that heavily relies on the flavor of the vegetables. So tasteless watery supermarket vegetables will simply not do.
I like to serve it with chicken or fish. It's very good with crispy baked chicken thighs, and I can bake both in the same oven. It's also excellent with baked salmon. I make both dishes in the same 425°F oven.
It's unlikely that you'll have any leftovers when making this tasty zucchini tomato gratin. But if you do, leftovers are very good the next day, gently reheated. Or you can enjoy them cold, served like you would serve antipasto. I love to have cold leftovers for my lunch the next day with some cured meats and cheeses.
If you like gratins, you should definitely try this cauliflower gratin. It makes cauliflower super palatable, even for picky eaters. And I should know, I have one here at home! I also like this Brussels sprouts gratin. It's easy to make and very flavorful.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Spray a 1.5-quart casserole dish with olive oil.
Using a sharp knife, slice the zucchinis and tomatoes crosswise, ¼-inch thick. If your tomatoes are large, cut each slice in half for easier layering.
Alternate layers of the tomatoes and zucchini in the baking dish. Sprinkle with the salt, pepper, garlic powder and dried thyme.
Generously spray the vegetables with olive oil. Sprinkle with the Parmesan.
Bake the gratin until golden-brown, about 30 minutes. Carefully drain the juices from the bottom and serve.

VMware NSX: Is it too Soon to Claim Victory?
Cloud Services and Enterprise Software, Datacenter, Enterprise Networking / By John Fruehe
This past week VMware made their new virtual networking product, VMware NSX, the star of VMworld, their premier North America event. But as VMware flexes its muscle at VMworld both excitement and apprehension surround the announcements and their plans for future leadership in network virtualization. We believe that those who claim VMware delivered a solid product that takes the game, set and match might be a bit ahead of themselves.
VMware is setting its sights squarely on the network now as they own the lion's share of the compute virtualization market. Network virtualization is the hottest topic in networking today and the first real change to the staid networking world for more than 20 years. For the first time there is a true disruption that challenges the status quo with the Software Defined Network (SDN) starting to come into discussions with customers as they try to tackle their increasingly complex networking issues.
VMware spent $1.2B on the acquisition of Nicira and now is their opportunity to begin to capitalize on that purchase. But we do not anticipate that NSX will take over the network virtualization space like ESX did for server virtualization. 10 years ago server virtualization was a much easier value proposition for VMware because:
It all sat inside of one domain (servers)
It could be piloted in small projects and eventually scaled out as expertise grew and ROI was demonstrated
There were significant physical constraints that were limiting the growth of server deployments (power, cooling, space) so there was a compelling reason to find a solution
With SDN, the final solution crosses multiple domains, deployment needs to be more widespread in order to truly gain ROI and while there is a lot of pain around networking today, none of those pains is a "show stopper" that is preventing growth.
Faced with these challenges, network virtualization will be a more difficult task than server virtualization, so VMware will have a more difficult challenge here. In an environment where VMware does not necessarily have the market to themselves (as they essentially did with server virtualization,) selling NSX will be a harder task.
What Is NSX?
VMware NSX is a new product that delivers network virtualization, or, more simply, a virtualized network overlay that sits on top of a physical network infrastructure and allows administrators to manage network functionality and provisioning virtually, from a console, without having to touch physical devices or pull cables. This product is the realization of the Nicira acquisition and it helps jump start VMware's attack on network virtualization.
Not fully available until the fourth quarter of this year, NSX promises to be the "glue between a layer of virtualized servers and a cloud infrastructure."
With the announcement, VMware was showing off two customers, eBay and Citi who were using NSX now. eBay was already a customer of Nicira long before the acquisition and Citi is a long-standing VMware customer, so there were no surprises here. Where there were surprises however, was in the partner space. VMware is partnering with a number of companies that many may even view as competitors. Is this a new era of cooperation or is this a strategy of surrounding and capturing? Time will tell.
NSX is not an SDN controller, but instead an SDN platform, so it has the ability to work with a range of SDN controllers including those of HP and Juniper. This means that theoretically any SDN controller could work with NSX, but customers would be crazy to use one unless it is explicitly supported, and to date both VMware and Cisco are mum on actual support for Cisco ONE on NSX. This leaves the biggest question in the SDN market, how will the relationship between VMware and Cisco play out in the long run. In the battle over SDN supremacy the lines will be drawn around these two players and the long term shape of the market will be reflected by how these two work (or don't) work together.
VMware vs. Cisco
In 2009, Cisco announced their Unified Computing System (UCS), which was a significant shot across the bow of server OEMs. For years these OEMs had worked with Cisco and even helped promote Cisco networking products in certain situations, even though the OEMs also competed with their own networking hardware. With the launch of UCS, VMware was a key partner for Cisco, and the UCS platform focused on virtualization, using features from VMware that other OEMs had not integrated (including a very large, proprietary memory footprint.)
Now, with the launch of NSX, Cisco finds itself in the same position as those server OEMs with a partner encroaching in their space and threatening to capture both revenue and margin from a market that is already established and stable. Four years after the UCS launch, Cisco has less than 5% of the revenue for the x86 server market, an indication that while a new entrant into the market can shake things up, actually pulling business away in a competitive (and conservative) market is more difficult than expected.
In the networking market, Cisco is not only the incumbent but also the most entrenched player, with deep ties throughout the market as well as within customer datacenters. While Cisco has its own problems with SDN, the driving issue today with SDN still revolves around how quickly customers move to this new technology. Today, there is still a concern that while SDN is getting headlines, it might not yet be ready for wide scale deployment yet. That gives both Cisco and VMware time to build out their stories ahead of actually needing to truly fight it out head to head. Today SDN is a battle of words; in the future, however, it will be a battle of customers and revenue. At that point things could really get ugly.
Cisco has the premiere networking hardware position with both an impressive install base as well as a huge reach within data centers. However in the SDN world, there are two viewpoints forming on hardware. One group believes that SDN hardware appliances and SDN enablement of hardware is the future, the other believes that hardware becomes a commodity and that the real money is in software. Cisco is a hardware-centric company and VMware is software-centric, so it is easy to see where these two line up. In a software-centric world, inexpensive white box hardware is utilized, leaving more IT budget on the table for software stacks, which benefits VMware. In a hardware-centric world there may not a significant acquisition cost savings which makes the Cisco hill a bit harder to climb.
Cisco's biggest asset (beyond its hardware install base) is its channel partner army. These are all companies that have made a lot of money installing and servicing Cisco equipment. In the battle over SDN, these partners are going to need to place their bets on whether SDN is hardware or software-driven. VMware has an opportunity to potentially switch the allegiance of some of these partners who see the writing on the wall for a software-based networking future. However, because the SDN change will happen slowly for the broader market, these partners may be reluctant to pass on lucrative networking hardware revenue today in anticipation of a software-based future state.
Both Cisco and VMware have healthy advertising and marketing budgets. With so much on the line as the networking world moves from physical to virtual, expect a lot of noise from both players. In environments like this it is important for customers to remain objective as both companies will be vying for mind share while pitching two very different views of the future state.
Open Source/Standards or Vertical Integration?
Another logical split in the SDN world revolves around the idea of open source and industry standards versus vertical integration. With open source the customer maintains the direction and control of the platform, integrating the pieces that make sense for their business. This leads to a solution that is more optimized and tuned to the exact customer environment; however this also requires more work on the customers' side. Contrast that with a vertical solution where a vendor provides a complete turn-key solution, giving customers one-stop-shopping, but at the expense of less flexibility and less customization. Seeing how customers are moving towards SDN to free themselves of inflexible networking environments, the thought of vertical solutions will be a tougher sell.
Aside from the efficiency and flexibility that SDN brings, one of the other big drivers for customers is the reduction in acquisition costs. Today customers are generally tied into companies like Cisco or Juniper for their networking, and this is expensive as well as limiting. The idea of turning to open source, focusing on software and selecting the pieces that best fit your business is appealing, mainly because there is an underlying cost savings that comes along with that strategy.
When you ask customers about their perceptions of VMware or Cisco, you rarely hear someone rave about the cost savings. Typically the response is that while they have very good solutions and there is a high level of trust, but customers are overpaying and believe they are locked into a proprietary stack.
With so much of the focus of SDN on breaking the traditional paradigms of networking, it is a good bet that customers aren't going to be as interested in breaking the chains of traditional networking, only to find themselves tied back into a high-priced vertical solution that locks them back in to a single vendor. This perception will be a significant hurdle for VMware as they drive for market acceptance of NSX. And other vendors, like Cisco, will face the same challenge.
Integration into Non-VMware Environments
Integrating NSX into existing VMware ESX and vSphere environments will be a relatively straightforward exercise, but what about non-VMware environments or mixed environments? The answer there is a little less clear.
From the early days of x86 virtualization, VMware held a virtual monopoly on the market, but over time they have fallen to less than 60%. Expectations are that with other options such as Hyper-V, KVM and Xen, VMware's share will continue a gradual downward slope, probably ending up in the 40-50% range as three to four platforms share the server virtualization pie.
While many customers had experimented with multiple hypervisors (44% are said to be running more than one hypervisor in their environment) the market will eventually shake out as most customers standardize on one in order to reduce complexity and cost. While most agree that customers are looking to consolidate, the varying numbers make it difficult to determine where the market ends up at this point.
Consolidation is both a blessing and a curse for VMware. For those that standardize on VMware as their hypervisor, NSX will have a clear advantage. Customers standardizing on VMware are mainly voting down the path of vertical integration (and higher licensing costs) already, so the NSX value proposition works.
Customers making the conscious decision to move away from an all-VMware environment typically fall into one of 3 categories:
Customers with mainly Linux shops that see KVM or Xen as being better aligned to their Linux environments
Customers concerned about the high price of licensing. Typically they are utilizing VMware for their most critical servers and utilizing another less expensive hypervisor for their less critical workloads.
Customers concerned about lock-in and worried that one vendor can have too much control over their IT environment.
While it may be difficult to get all of the research numbers to align, the following universal truth can be gleaned from the data: There will be more than half the market that is either not running VMware or not running VMware exclusively. This makes the pitch for NSX potentially out of sync with the majority of the market. There are some that are so concerned about the cost of VMware licensing that they are willing to take on more operational cost from running two (or more) hypervisors. Clearly, while VMware has good products and is the "Cadillac of virtualization" they have not only gained that moniker from their products but also their prices.
Our belief is that in VMware-only environments (or predominantly VMware environments) NSX stands a chance for high adoption rates, but in environments where VMware is either not being deployed or is not the primary hypervisor, customers will resist NSX, viewing it as an expensive and limiting choice.
There was quite a spirited debate on Twitter about NSX and its impact on the people in the trenches that live and breathe this stuff.
Just as SDN has the ability to disrupt the existing market, it also has the ability to disrupt the people and functional organizations that are tied to it. Back in my sales days, all of our racks came with a common key. One of the more popular rack options was a lock core with a unique key, ostensibly so that the server guys could keep the others out of "their racks." There have always been silos in IT, but with SDN (and most especially NSX) those silos start to blur. A lot. This can be both a positive and a negative.
When SDN is proposed and the networking team is leading the charge, everyone knows their place. But with NSX, is that direction driven by the server teams? Do server admins need to now become networking experts? Does this mean that networking experts are now at risk? There are a lot of unanswered questions.
Realistically, in the typical IT shop there is a.) more work to go around and b.) not enough resources to get it all done. That does mean that these strategies won't necessarily trim IT, in most cases (at least in the near term) there will most likely need to be more cross training as organizations begin to flesh out how they will staff and run their functional areas. And while they are looking at this blend of servers and networking, now is probably a good time to look at storage as well. With new strategies like distributed object stores with CEPH there is an opportunity to really rethink more than just networking.
What Does This Mean For NSX?
Although it is not even out on the market yet, there has been a lot of discussion about NSX and the jury is definitely out on the strategy. Here are the key points for the market:
This clearly turns the SDN market into a three-horse race. The incumbent, Cisco, is riding their market share and mindshare horse. VMware is coming up quickly on the horse called "fully integrated environment." And everyone else is riding the third horse which includes open source, industry-disrupting startups and some familiar faces (Dell, HP, IBM, etc.)
The SDN market is looking to break free from the chains of rigid and inflexible physical networking. As the 800-pound gorilla of the server virtualization space, they need to make sure that they don't try to co-opt the networking virtualization space by claiming de-facto leadership. Customers are already suspicious.
The announcements at VMworld were clearly pitching a platform and partners, it is critical that VMware not only expands these partnerships, but also helps ensure the profitability of their partners. Part of being in an open environment is ensuring that everyone gets a piece of the pie; that is how long-term ecosystems work.
IT pros are clearly skeptical, so the proof is in the pudding so to speak. NSX has an opportunity to have a significant change in IT, but only if the people tasked with evaluating and deploying it are part of the solution. There is still much education that needs to happen in order to ensure a fully engaged set of professionals can carry the NSX momentum forward.
Again, we believe that while VMware's NSX product has some compelling benefits, it is too early to call it a winner in the market. In VMware-centric enterprises it will be a much easier to sell, but in multi-hypervisor environments or environments that still maintain a large number of non-virtualized servers, deploying NSX may not have the same benefits.

Back in March, inXile, hot on the heels of its successful Kickstarter to make a modern day sequel to the PC classic Wasteland, launched a second campaign to raise funds for Torment: Tides of Numenera. Pegged as a spiritual successor to Planescape: Torment, one of the most well-regarded RPGs ever made, it reached its goal of $900,000 in mere hours and would go on to raise than $4 million before time ran out.
In November however, the studio asked backers for some input a bit less monetary in nature. With the team on the fence about where to take the game's combat, it asked contributors to vote on whether they'd prefer turn-based combat, a la the original Fallout, or real-time action with pause features as seen in games like Baldur's Gate.
Well, the tally is in and inXile has announced that, based on the collected votes, it will be going with turn-based combat. The results were agreeable to the game's development team. "We were leaning toward turn-based combat because we believe it's better suited for the kind of tactical complexity we're looking for," said inXile in an announcement on the project's Kickstarter page. "We believe it's a stronger fit for bringing narrative elements, including dialogue with NPCs, into hand-crafted combat situations." Turn-based combat won the vote by a mere percentage point with 48 percent voters choosing turn-based and 47 percent voting for real-time combat. The remaining voters said they were "indifferent." The voting pool included nearly 20 percent of the game's contributors and numbered just over 15,000.

Prenn v Simmonds: HL 1971
Backgroun Used to Construe Commercial Contract
Commercial contracts are to be construed in the light of all the background information which could reasonably have been expected to have been available to the parties in order to ascertain what would objectively have been understood to be their intention. Evidence of negotiations is not admissible. Assumptions which were made in offers and counter-offer may not be acceptable by the other party.
Lord Wilberforce said: 'The time has long passed when agreements, even those under seal, were isolated from the matrix of facts in which they were set and interpreted purely on internal linguistic considerations. We must inquire beyond the language and see what the circumstances were with reference to which the words were used, and the object appearing from those circumstances, which the person using them had in view.'
and 'It may be said that previous documents may be looked at to explain the aims of the parties. In a limited sense this is true: the commercial, or business object, of the transaction, objectively ascertained, may be a surrounding fact. Cardozo J. thought so in the Utica Bank case. And if it can be shown that one interpretation completely frustrates that object, to the extent of rendering the contract futile, that may be a strong argument for an alternative interpretation, if that can reasonably be found. But beyond that it may be difficult to go: it may be a matter of degree, or of judgment, how far one interpretation, or another, gives effect to a common intention: the parties, indeed, may be pursuing that intention with differing emphasis, and hoping to achieve it to an extent which may differ, and in different ways. The words used may, and often do, represent a formula which means different things to each side, yet may be accepted because that is the only way to get 'agreement' and in the hope that disputes will not arise. The only course then can be to try to ascertain the 'natural' meaning. Far more, and indeed totally, dangerous is it to admit evidence of one party's objective – even if this is known to the other party. However strongly pursued this may be, the other party may only be willing to give it partial recognition, and in a world of give and take, men often have to be satisfied with less than they want.'
Lord Wilberforce continued: 'There were prolonged negotiations between solicitors, with exchanges of draft clauses, ultimately emerging in clause 2 of the agreement. The reason for not admitting evidence of these exchanges is not a technical one or even mainly one of convenience, (though the attempt to admit it did greatly prolong the case and add to its expense). It is simply that such evidence is unhelpful. By the nature of things, where negotiations are difficult, the parties' positions, within each passing letter, are changing and until the final agreement, though converging, still divergent. It is only the final document which records a consensus. If the previous documents use different expressions, how does construction of those expressions, itself a doubtful process, help on the construction of the contractual words? If the same expressions are used, nothing is gained by looking back; indeed, something may be lost since the relevant surrounding circumstances may be different. And at this stage there is no consensus of the parties to appeal to. It may be said that previous documents may be looked at to explain the aims of the parties. In a limited sense this is true: the commercial, or business object, of the transaction, objectively ascertained, may be a surrounding fact. Cardozo J. thought so in the Utica Bank case. And if it can be shown that one interpretation completely frustrates that object, to the extent of rendering the contract futile, that may be a strong argument for an alternative interpretation, if that can reasonably be found.'
and 'But beyond that it may be difficult to go: it may be a matter of degree, or of judgment, how far one interpretation, or another, gives effect to a common intention: the parties, indeed, may be pursuing that intention with differing emphasis, and hoping to achieve it to an extent which may differ, and in different ways. The words used may, and often do, represent a formula which means different things to each side, yet may be accepted because that is the only way to get 'agreement' and in the hope that disputes will not arise. The only course then can be to try to ascertain the 'natural' meaning. Far more, and indeed totally, dangerous is it to admit evidence of one party's objective — even if this is known to the other party. However strongly pursued this may be, the other party may only be willing to give it partial recognition, and in a world of give and take, men often have to be satisfied with less than they want. So, again, it would be a matter of speculation how far the common intention was that the particular objective should be realised . . . In my opinion, then, evidence of negotiations, or of the parties' intentions, and a fortiori of Dr. Simmonds' intentions, ought not to be received, and evidence should be restricted to evidence of the factual background known to the parties at or before the date of the contract, including evidence of the 'genesis' and objectively the 'aim' of the transaction.
As to the circumstances, and the object of the parties, there is no controversy in the present case. The agreement itself, on its face, almost supplies enough, without the necessity to supplement it by outside evidence. But *1386 some expansion, from undisputed facts, makes for clearer understanding and I include a reference to these in what follows'.

There is an enormous opportunity to leverage the evolving regulatory landscape in the largest licensed medical cannabis market in North America, while supporting an industry that requires our strategic capital for growth initiatives.
FinCanna is initially focused on California since it is the sixth largest economy in the world and the largest medical cannabis market in North America. Analysts estimate the State's legal cannabis industry will grow at a 21.1% CAGR to $6.5 billion by 2020, and generate upwards of $1 billion in tax revenue.
New laws that come into effect in January 2018 are expected to significantly change existing supply and demand dynamics.
Cultivation Technologies, Inc. provides infrastructure, technology, and branding to the licensed medical cannabis industry. The first major project for the company is in Coachella, California, which will span 6-acres featuring cultivation centers, manufacturing facilities, a testing lab, a distribution hub, and a centralized processing center.

Q: problems with final-form in React I have some problems with final-form. function handleSubmit don't calls anything. I checked official final-form example. I do identically that written there. But it's not working.
Here my form code:
import React, {FunctionComponent} from 'react';
import {Field, Form} from 'react-final-form';
import {IAddComponentProps} from "./interfaces";
import {EditContainer, StyledButton} from './styles';
import EditInput from "../EditInput";

const AddComponent: FunctionComponent<IAddComponentProps> = ({onSubmitForm, onEditInput}) => {
  return (
    <Form
      onSubmit={onSubmitForm}
      render={({handleSubmit}) => (
        <EditContainer onSubmit={handleSubmit}>
          <Field name={'addComment'}>
            {({input}) => (
              <EditInput {...input} onEditInput={onEditInput}/>
            )}
          </Field>
          <StyledButton>OK</StyledButton>
        </EditContainer>
      )}
    />
  )
};

export default AddComponent;

Here is my functions which I put into props:
const onChangeInput = (event: React.ChangeEvent<HTMLInputElement>) => {
    setInputValue(event.target.value)
  }

const onSubmitAddComment = (event: React.ChangeEvent<HTMLFormElement>) => {
    const newComment: ICommentsData = {
      id: new Date().getMilliseconds(),
      cardId: cardId,
      name: author,
      comment: inputValue
    }

    event.preventDefault();
    event.target.reset()
    dispatch(actions.comments.addComment({newComment}))
    resetInputValue()
  }

A: The reason of this was, that i put into onSubmit of Form function from props. When i created function inside component it started working. So new code of my form is:
import React, {FunctionComponent} from 'react';
import {Field, Form} from 'react-final-form';
import {IAddComponentProps} from "./interfaces";
import {EditContainer, StyledButton} from './styles';
import EditInput from "../EditInput";

const AddComponent: FunctionComponent<IAddComponentProps> = ({onSubmitForm, onEditInput}) => {

  const onSubmit = () => {
    onSubmitForm()
  }

  return (
    <Form
      onSubmit={onSubmit}
      render={({handleSubmit,form}) => (
        <EditContainer onSubmit={(event) => {
          event.preventDefault()
          handleSubmit()
          form.reset()
        }}>
          <Field name={'addComment'}>
            {({input}) => (
              <EditInput {...input} onEditInput={onEditInput}/>
            )}
          </Field>
          <StyledButton>OK</StyledButton>
        </EditContainer>
      )}
    />
  )
};

export default AddComponent;

"A sewage farm. In what way is it a farm? Is there a farm shop?" - Jack Dee


Mummy, Wife and Chaos: Post Christmas Blues....pick me ups!
If you don't have this situation right now....."Who are you!? What's your secret!?" We've all pretty much over indulged over the festive period and are perhaps like me feeling the after effects right now. Crappy dull skin with possible outbreaks looming, bloated, tired, wondering where the time went and perhaps wondering how quickly that next pay day will come when it feels sooooo long away!
I have acted on the above, sorted my hair, got a new moisturiser, drinking lots of water and retreating back to my normal eating habits. I am yet to get back to exercise but I am already dreading it! I feel like my sense of style has gone awol and so therefore have been taking inspiration from the ever helpful pinterest, a great way to recreate an outfit from items long unworn!
The moisturiser is working a treat (oil of olay complete care)!
Need some inspo? Keep it simple and let your accessories and coat to the talking.
I was in need of new foundation but with Christmas leaving me pretty skint, my budget wasn't going to stretch to Laura Mercier or even MAC ( I kind of needed a new lippy too). My sister was raving about Rimmels Wake Me Up foundation and boots had it on offer and you know what, I am really impressed! Great coverage, kind of gives you a glow without looking shiny and yet it feels really light! Thumbs up.
