Nixon easily swept aside challenges from two Republican congressmen in the 1972 Republican primaries to win re-nomination. McGovern, who had played a significant role in reforming the Democratic nomination system after the 1968 election, mobilized the anti-war movement and other liberal supporters to win his party's nomination. Among the candidates he defeated were early front-runner Edmund Muskie, 1968 nominee Hubert Humphrey, and Congresswoman Shirley Chisholm, the first African-American to run for a major party's presidential nomination.
Nixon emphasized the strong economy and his success in foreign affairs, while McGovern ran on a platform calling for an immediate end to the Vietnam War, and the institution of a guaranteed minimum income. Nixon maintained a large and consistent lead in polling. Separately, Nixon's reelection committee broke into the Watergate Hotel to wiretap the Democratic National Committee's headquarters, a scandal that would later be known as "Watergate". McGovern's campaign was further damaged by the revelation that his running mate, Thomas Eagleton, had undergone psychiatric electroshock therapy as a treatment for depression. Eagleton was replaced on the ballot by Sargent Shriver.
Nixon won the election in a landslide, taking 60.7% of the popular vote and carrying 49 states, and he was the first Republican to sweep the South. McGovern took just 37.5% of the popular vote, while John G. Schmitz of the American Independent Party won 1.4% of the vote. Nixon received almost 18 million more votes than McGovern, and he holds the record for the widest popular vote margin in any United States presidential election. The 1972 presidential election was the first since the ratification of the 26th Amendment, which lowered the voting age from 21 to 18. Within two years of the election, both Nixon and Vice President Spiro Agnew resigned from office, the former due to Watergate and the latter to a separate corruption charge, and both were succeeded by Gerald Ford. It is the most recent presidential election in which both major party candidates are deceased.

PrimariesEdit
Senate Majority Whip Ted Kennedy, the youngest brother of late President John F. Kennedy and late United States Senator Robert F. Kennedy, was the favorite to win the 1972 nomination, but he announced he would not be a candidate.[4] The favorite for the Democratic nomination then became Senator Ed Muskie,[5] the 1968 vice-presidential nominee.[6] Muskie's momentum collapsed just prior to the New Hampshire primary, when the so-called "Canuck letter" was published in the Manchester Union-Leader. The letter, actually a forgery from Nixon's "dirty tricks" unit, claimed that Muskie had made disparaging remarks about French-Canadians – a remark likely to injure Muskie's support among the French-American population in northern New England. Subsequently, the paper published an attack on the character of Muskie's wife Jane, reporting that she drank and used off-color language during the campaign. Muskie made an emotional defense of his wife in a speech outside the newspaper's offices during a snowstorm. Though Muskie later stated that what had appeared to the press as tears were actually melted snowflakes, the press reported that Muskie broke down and cried, shattering the candidate's image as calm and reasoned.[7]
Nearly two years before the election, South Dakota Senator George McGovern entered the race as an anti-war, progressive candidate.[8] McGovern was able to pull together support from the anti-war movement and other grassroots support to win the nomination in a primary system he had played a significant part in designing.
On January 25, 1972, New York Representative Shirley Chisholm announced she would run, and became the first African-American woman to run for the Democratic or Republican presidential nomination. Hawaii Representative Patsy Mink also announced she would run and became the first Asian American to run for the Democratic presidential nomination.[9]
On April 25, George McGovern won the Massachusetts primary. Two days later, journalist Robert Novak quoted a "Democratic senator" later revealed to be Thomas Eagleton as saying: "The people don't know McGovern is for amnesty, abortion, and legalization of pot. Once middle America – Catholic middle America, in particular – finds this out, he's dead." The label stuck and McGovern became known as the candidate of "amnesty, abortion, and acid". It became Humphrey's battle cry to stop McGovern—especially in the Nebraska primary.[10][11]
Alabama Governor George Wallace, an anti-integrationist, did well in the South (he won every county in the Florida primary) and among alienated and dissatisfied voters in the North.[citation needed] What might have become a forceful campaign was cut short when Wallace was shot in an assassination attempt by Arthur Bremer on May 15. Wallace was struck by five bullets and left paralyzed from the waist down. The day after the assassination attempt, Wallace won the Michigan and Maryland primaries, but the shooting effectively ended his campaign and he pulled out in July.
In the end, McGovern won the nomination by winning primaries through grassroots support in spite of establishment opposition. McGovern had led a commission to re-design the Democratic nomination system after the divisive nomination struggle and convention of 1968. The fundamental principle of the McGovern Commission—that the Democratic primaries should determine the winner of the Democratic nomination—have lasted throughout every subsequent nomination contest. However, the new rules angered many prominent Democrats whose influence was marginalized and those politicians refused to support McGovern's campaign (some even supporting Nixon instead), leaving the McGovern campaign at a significant disadvantage in funding compared to Nixon.

The vice presidential voteEdit
Most polls showed McGovern running well behind incumbent President Richard Nixon, except when McGovern was paired with Massachusetts Senator Ted Kennedy. McGovern and his campaign brain trust lobbied Kennedy heavily to accept the bid to be McGovern's running mate, but he continually refused their advances, and instead suggested U.S. Representative (and House Ways and Means Committee chairman) Wilbur Mills of Arkansas and Boston Mayor Kevin White.[22] Offers were then made to Hubert Humphrey, Connecticut Senator Abraham Ribicoff, and Minnesota Senator Walter Mondale, all of whom turned it down. Finally, the vice presidential slot was offered to Senator Thomas Eagleton of Missouri, who accepted the offer.[22]
With hundreds of delegates displeased with McGovern, the vote to ratify Eagleton's candidacy was chaotic, with at least three other candidates having their names put into nomination and votes scattered over 70 candidates.[23] A grassroots attempt to displace Eagleton in favor of Texas state representative Frances Farenthold gained significant traction, though was ultimately unable to change the outcome of the vote.[24]
The vice-presidential balloting went on so long that McGovern and Eagleton were forced to begin making their acceptance speeches at around 2 am, local time.
After the convention ended, it was discovered that Eagleton had undergone psychiatric electroshock therapy for depression and had concealed this information from McGovern. A Time magazine poll taken at the time found that 77 percent of the respondents said, "Eagleton's medical record would not affect their vote." Nonetheless, the press made frequent references to his "shock therapy", and McGovern feared that this would detract from his campaign platform.[25] McGovern subsequently consulted confidentially with preeminent psychiatrists, including Eagleton's own doctors, who advised him that a recurrence of Eagleton's depression was possible and could endanger the country should Eagleton become president.[26][27][28][29][30] McGovern had initially claimed that he would back Eagleton "1000 percent", only to ask Eagleton to withdraw three days later. This perceived lack of conviction in sticking with his running mate was disastrous for the McGovern campaign.
McGovern later approached six different prominent Democrats to run for vice-president: Ted Kennedy, Edmund Muskie, Hubert Humphrey, Abraham Ribicoff, Larry O'Brien and Reubin Askew. All six declined. Sargent Shriver, brother-in-law to John, Robert, and Ted Kennedy, former Ambassador to France and former Director of the Peace Corps, later accepted.[31] He was officially nominated by a special session of the Democratic National Committee. By this time, McGovern's poll ratings had plunged from 41 to 24 percent.
Republican nominationEdit
Republican candidates:
Richard Nixon, President of the United States who formed his Committee for the Re-Election of the President
Pete McCloskey, Representative from California
John M. Ashbrook, Representative from Ohio
Republican Party Ticket, 1972
(1969–1974) 39th
Richard Nixon was a popular incumbent president in 1972, as he was credited with opening the People's Republic of China as a result of his 1972 visit, and achieving détente with the Soviet Union. Polls showed that Nixon held a strong lead in the Republican primaries. He was challenged by two candidates, liberal Pete McCloskey from California and conservative John Ashbrook from Ohio. McCloskey ran as an anti-war candidate, while Ashbrook opposed Nixon's détente policies towards China and the Soviet Union. In the New Hampshire primary McCloskey garnered 19.8% of the vote to Nixon's 67.6%, with Ashbrook receiving 9.7%.[32] Nixon won 1323 of the 1324 delegates to the Republican convention, with McCloskey receiving the vote of one delegate from New Mexico. Vice President Spiro Agnew was re-nominated by acclamation; while both the party's moderate wing and Nixon himself had wanted to replace him with a new running-mate (the moderates favoring Nelson Rockefeller, and Nixon favoring John Connally), it was ultimately concluded that the loss of Agnew's base of conservative supporters would be too big of a risk.
Primaries popular vote result:[33]
Richard Nixon – 5,378,704 (86.92%)
Unpledged – 317,048 (5.12%)
John Ashbrook – 311,543 (5.03%)
Pete McCloskey – 132,731 (2.15%)
ConventionEdit
Seven members of Vietnam Veterans Against the War were brought on federal charges for conspiring to disrupt the Republican convention.[34] They were acquitted by a federal jury in Gainesville, Florida.[34]
Third partiesEdit
The only major third party candidate in the 1972 election was conservative Republican Representative John G. Schmitz, who ran on the American Independent Party ticket (the party on whose ballot George Wallace ran in 1968). He was on the ballot in 32 states and received 1,099,482 votes. Unlike Wallace, however, he did not win a majority of votes cast in any state, and received no electoral votes, although he did finish ahead of McGovern in four of the most conservative Idaho counties.[35] Schmitz's performance in archconservative Jefferson County was the best by a third-party Presidential candidate in any free or postbellum state county since 1936 when William Lemke reached over twenty-eight percent of the vote in the North Dakota counties of Burke, Sheridan and Hettinger.[36]
John Hospers and Tonie Nathan of the newly formed Libertarian Party were on the ballot only in Colorado and Washington, but were official write-in candidates in four others, and received 3,674 votes, winning no states. However, they did receive one Electoral College vote from Virginia from a Republican faithless elector (see below). The Libertarian vice-presidential nominee Theodora "Tonie" Nathan became the first Jew and the first woman in U.S. history to receive an Electoral College vote.[37]
Linda Jenness was nominated by the Socialist Workers Party, with Andrew Pulley as her running-mate. Benjamin Spock and Julius Hobson were nominated for president and vice-president, respectively by, the People's Party.
General electionEdit
CampaignEdit

McGovern ran on a platform of immediately ending the Vietnam War and instituting guaranteed minimum incomes for the nation's poor. His campaign was harmed by his views during the primaries (which alienated many powerful Democrats), the perception that his foreign policy was too extreme, and the Eagleton debacle. With McGovern's campaign weakened by these factors, the Republicans successfully portrayed him as a radical left-wing extremist incompetent to serve as president. Nixon led in the polls by large margins throughout the entire campaign. With an enormous fundraising advantage and a comfortable lead in the polls, Nixon concentrated on large rallies and focused speeches to closed, select audiences, leaving much of the retail campaigning to surrogates like Vice President Agnew. Nixon did not, by design, try to extend his coattails to Republican congressional or gubernatorial candidates, preferring to pad his own margin of victory.
ResultsEdit

1972 Presidential Election, Results by Congressional District
Nixon's percentage of the popular vote was only marginally less than Lyndon Johnson's record in the 1964 election, and his margin of victory was slightly larger. Nixon won a majority vote in 49 states, including McGovern's home state of South Dakota. Only Massachusetts and the District of Columbia voted for the challenger, resulting in an even more lopsided Electoral College tally. It was the first election since 1808 in which New York did not have the largest number of electors in the Electoral College, having fallen to 41 electors vs. California's 45.
Although the McGovern campaign believed that its candidate had a better chance of defeating Nixon because of the new Twenty-sixth Amendment to the United States Constitution that lowered the national voting age to 18 from 21, most of the youth vote went to Nixon.[38] This was the first election in American history in which a Republican candidate carried every single Southern state, continuing the region's transformation from a Democratic bastion into a Republican stronghold as Arkansas was carried by a Republican presidential candidate for the first time in a century. By this time, all the Southern states, except Arkansas and Texas, had been carried by a Republican in either the previous election or the one in 1964 (although Republican candidates carried Texas in 1928, 1952 and 1956). As a result of this election, Massachusetts became the only state that Nixon did not carry in any of the three presidential elections in which he was a candidate.
Through 2019 this remains the last election when Minnesota was carried by the Republican candidate.[39] Minnesota was later the only state not won by Ronald Reagan in either 1980 or 1984. It also proved the last occasion that Georgia, Hawaii, Maryland, Rhode Island and West Virginia would be won by Republicans until 1984.
McGovern won a mere 130 counties, plus the District of Columbia and four county-equivalents in Alaska,[a] easily the fewest counties won by any major-party presidential nominee since the advent of popular presidential elections.[40] In nineteen states, McGovern failed to carry a single county;[b] he carried a mere one county-equivalent in a further nine states,[c] and just two counties in a further seven.[d] In contrast to Walter Mondale's narrow 1984 win in Minnesota, McGovern comfortably did win Massachusetts, but lost every other state by no less than five percentage points as well as 45 states by more than ten percentage points – the exceptions being Massachusetts, Minnesota, Rhode Island, Wisconsin, and his home state of South Dakota. This election also made Nixon the second former Vice President in American history to serve two terms back-to-back, after Thomas Jefferson in 1800 and 1804. Since McGovern carried only one state, bumper stickers reading "Nixon 49 America 1",[41] "Don't Blame Me I'm From Massachusetts" and "Massachusetts: The One And Only" were popular for a short time in Massachusetts.[42] The "Don't Blame Me I'm From Massachusetts" bumper sticker was subsequently revived after Donald Trump won the 2016 presidential election despite losing Massachusetts to Hillary Clinton.[43]
Nixon managed to win 18% of the African American vote (Gerald Ford would get 16% in 1976). He also remains the only Republican in modern times to threaten the oldest extant Democratic stronghold of South Texas: this is the last election when the Republicans have won Hidalgo or Dimmit Counties, the only time Republicans have won La Salle County since William McKinley in 1900, and one of only two occasions since Theodore Roosevelt in 1904[e] that Republicans have gained a majority in Presidio County.[39] More significantly, the 1972 election is the last time several highly populous urban counties – including Cook in Illinois, Orleans in Louisiana, Hennepin in Minnesota, Cuyahoga in Ohio, Durham in North Carolina, Queens in New York and Prince George's in Maryland – have voted Republican.[39]

Post-election investigations into the Watergate break-inEdit
On June 17, 1972, five months before election day, five men broke into the Democratic National Committee headquarters at the Watergate hotel in Washington, D.C.; the resulting investigation led to the revelation of attempted cover-ups of the break-in within the Nixon administration. What became known as the Watergate scandal eroded President Nixon's public and political support in his second term, and he resigned on August 9, 1974, in the face of probable impeachment by the House of Representatives and removal from office by the Senate.
As part of the continuing Watergate investigation in 1974–75, federal prosecutors offered companies that had given illegal campaign contributions to President Nixon's re-election campaign lenient sentences if they came forward.[45] Many companies complied, including Northrop Grumman, 3M, American Airlines and Braniff Airlines.[45] By 1976, prosecutors had convicted 18 American corporations of contributing illegally to Nixon's campaign.[45]

Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail '72, a collection of articles by Hunter S. Thompson on the subject of the election, focusing on the McGovern campaign.
^ These were North Slope Borough, plus Bethel, Kusilvak and Hoonah-Angoon Census Areas
^ McGovern failed to carry a single county in Arkansas, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Nebraska, Nevada, New Jersey, New Hampshire, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Utah, Vermont or Wyoming
^ McGovern carried only one county-equivalent in Arizona (Greenlee), Illinois (Jackson), Louisiana (West Feliciana Parish), Maine (Androscoggin), Maryland (Baltimore City), North Dakota (Rolette), Pennsylvania (Philadelphia), Virginia (Charles City) and West Virginia (Logan)
^ McGovern carried just two counties in Colorado, Missouri, Montana, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio and Washington State
^ Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1952 also obtained a plurality in Presidio County
^ In Arizona, Pima and Yavapai counties had a confusing ballot that resulted in many voters voting for both a major party candidate, and six individual Socialist Workers Party presidential electors. Technically, these were overvotes, and should not have counted for either the major party candidates or the Socialist Workers Party electors. Within two days of the election, the Attorney General and Pima County Attorney had agreed that all votes should count. The Socialist Workers Party had not qualified as a party, and thus did not have a presidential candidate. In the official state canvass, votes for Nixon, McGovern, or Schmitz, are shown as being for the presidential candidate, the party, and the elector slate of the party; while those for the Socialist Worker Party elector candidates were for those candidates only. In the view of the Secretary of State, the votes were not for Linda Jenness. Some tabulations count the votes for Jenness. Historically, presidential candidate names did not appear on ballots, and voters voted directly for the electors. Nonetheless, votes for the electors are attributed to the presidential candidate. Counting the votes in Arizona for Jenness is consistent with this practice. Because of the confusing ballots, Socialist Workers Party electors received votes on about 21 percent and 8 percent of ballots in Pima and Yavapai, respectively. 30,579 of the party's 30,945 Arizona votes are from those two counties.
^ A Virginia faithless elector, Roger MacBride, though pledged to vote for Richard Nixon and Spiro Agnew, instead voted for Libertarian candidates John Hospers and Theodora "Tonie" Nathan.

We live in a world of unprecedented complexity, where humanity, nature, and technology must adapt to rapidly changing conditions. Digital technology can provide new answers to these challenges, but it can also pose new problems. We are living with an explosion of data and connectivity, where every person has access to many orders of magnitude more information than our parents.
Our technology has become so powerful we can now control the genetic makeup of living organisms and cause holes in the ozone layer. Yet some of the most impressive breakthroughs in art and technology happen by transforming the gaps in the existing landscape into opportunities – by adapting what we know to what might be. Now, as the world evolves with exponential speed, we need artists and scientists to show us the infinite possibilities of adaptation.
How do human beings and other species change to fit new circumstance and conditions in an ever-changing world? How does a species develop physically and behaviorally in order to survive and reproduce? How is technology used to achieve adaptation, or how does it destroy one's ability to adapt? Has technology really helped us adapt? At this critical time in humanity's evolutionary journey, we are looking for artworks that speak to some of these questions, artworks that resonate strongly with our challenging existence in an ever-changing world of technological advances, environmental crisis, and global shifts of consciousness.
The SIGGRAPH Asia 2009 Art Gallery will feature a diverse, international body of art and design, ranging from pieces driven by technology to works that critically comment on our technological society. The works will be selected based on four criteria: the depth of the concept of the work, aesthetics, craftsmanship, and relevance to the theme of the show.
The Art Gallery will consist of a curated body of work and a juried body of work. The jury will be made up of artists and professionals working in the field of fine art, new media, and computer graphics. We encourage submissions from throughout the world and from artists of all nationalities. Visual artists new to SIGGRAPH who have relevant artworks are especially encouraged to submit their work.
Once accepted, artists will work closely with the SIGGRAPH Asia Art Gallery Committee to ship and display the work in Yokohama. An installation crew will support the technical and physical aspects of the installation. Performances will be scheduled in advance, and advertised on the SIGGRAPH Asia 2009 web site and printed materials. Artists who are able to attend the conference in Japan will be encouraged to give an artist talk and participate in artist panel discussions.
Accepted artworks will be exhibited in Pacifico Yokohama during the conference in December 2009. Accompanying the exhibition will be an extensive catalog, Digital Experiences, an online exhibit, an online archive, and a promotional video on DVD to document and archive the artwork. Press tours and other media outreach will be organized to further increase awareness of the Art Gallery.
The submission deadline is 5 June 2009. The jury's decisions will be announced in August, 2009.
We look forward to seeing your submission for the SIGGRAPH Asia 2009 Art Gallery!


The word "Limìo"; indicates the noise of filing (also figurative) in poetry is often used to indicate the sound of cicadas during the summer.
Limìo is my auditory madeleine: a sound that recalls my summer childhood's memories. The sunny afternoons spent in a pine forest playing with my friends.
It's an on-going project born from a public post on Facebook where I asked people (and some families), born in the Pianura Padana (my native area) to bring me in the house where they were born to be portrayed.
I also asked them to tell me about their past, look for old photographs or show me an object linked to the origins of their family.
The result is a collective narration made of memories, returns to places that the protagonists left a long time ago, houses destroyed by the earthquake, places dramatically changed, intimate and personal stories.
Limìo is an ongoing project that will certainly continue to involve other areas geographical areas and people. The photos presented here are currently pulished in one self-produced fanzine distributed in 30 numbered copies.

Q: Nvidia - Enable threaded optimisation I often see people write how enabling "Threaded Optimization" in the nVidia control panel (on Windows) can improve performance in certain situations. However I can't seem to find that option in the nVidia Settings on Ubuntu. Are there other ways to enable threaded optimization?

A: You cannot enable it by default on all applications (yet), because of the following reason (according to NVIDIA):

These optimizations typically benefit CPU-intensive applications, but might cause a decrease of performance in applications that heavily rely on synchronous OpenGL calls [...]. Because of this, they are currently disabled by default.

Instead, you're going to have to run your OpenGL application (games eg.) as follows:
env LD_PRELOAD="libpthread.so.0 libGL.so.1" __GL_THREADED_OPTIMIZATIONS=1 yourcommand

If you don't do that, a lot of games will not perform as well as they could (Source games being the most notable).

A: From what I know the Xorg driver that is included handles a lot of that stuff under the hood, with a lot of dynamic configuration for optimal performance. it's not really necessary to change those settings manually.

2 Is it truly Anonymous for North Hills residents?
Bitcoin is a brand-new currency that was created in2009 by an unknown individual using the alias Satoshi Nakamoto. Transactions are made with nomiddle men— significance, no banks! There are notransaction fees and no have to give your genuine name. More merchants are starting to accept them: You can purchase web hosting services, pizza or even manicures.
Is it truly Anonymous for North Hills residents?
Though each bitcoin deal is tape-recorded in a public log, names of purchasers and sellers are never ever exposed— just their wallet IDs. While that keeps bitcoin users' deals private, it likewise lets thembuy or sell anything without quickly tracing it back to them. That's why it has become the currency of option for individuals online buyingdrugs or other illicit activities.
Compared with Brexit, Bitexit seems a piece of cake. On August 1st, without much agonizing or uncomfortablenegotiations, a group of Bitcoin activists and entrepreneurs handled to produce a secondversion of the crypto-currency. It immediately gained a following: as The Economist went to press, a unit of "Bitcoin Money" had a cost of $460 and tokens worth $7.6 bn remained in blood circulation (although that is still much smaller sized than Bitcoin timeless, which stood at about $2,700 and almost $45bn).
The cryptocurrency rose by more than 8% to $5,243 having begun the year at $966. Bitcoin has soared by more than 750% in the past year and deserves four times as much as an ounce of gold.
But the rate has actually been unstable. The digital currency plunged listed below $3,000 in mid-September after the Chinese authorities announced a crackdown.Beijing purchased cryptocurrency exchanges to stop trading and obstruct brand-new registrations, due to fears that increasing numbers of consumers stackinginto the bitcoin market could prompt largerfinancial issues.
The Russian president called this week for guideline of cryptocurrencies, saying their use "bears severe dangers" such as loan laundering, tax evasion and financing for terrorism. But he likewise warned againstimposing "too many barriers," which appears to have actually offered bitcoin a boost.
Despite warnings over a bubble, bitcoinis gaining in approval. Last month, a London home designer, The Collective, said it would permit its occupants to pay their deposits in bitcoin and accept rent payments in the cryptocurrency by the end of the year.
A male called Satoshi Nakamoto published a term paper to an obscure cryptography listservdescribing his style for a brand-new digital currency that he called bitcoin. None of the list's veterans hadheard of him, and what little info could be obtained was dirty and contradictory. In an online profile, he stated he lived inJapan. His email address was from a complimentaryGerman service. Google searches for his name turned upno relevant details; it wasclearly a pseudonym. But while Nakamoto himself mayhave been a puzzle, his development brokea problem that had stymiedcryptographers for decades. The idea of digital money— practical and untraceable, liberated from the oversight of federal governments and banks— hadbeen a hot topic since the birth of the Web. Cypherpunks, the 1990s movement of libertarian cryptographers, dedicated themselves to the job. Yet every effort to develop virtual money had actually foundered, especially in North Hills CA. Ecash, an anonymous system released in the early 1990s by cryptographer David Chaum, stopped working in part because it depended upon the existing infrastructures ofgovernment and charge card companies. Other proposals followed— bit gold, RPOW, b-money—but none got off the ground.


Expectations are that the intern will work in the office part-time, 15-20 hours per week during normal business hours, preferably 1 full day and 1-2 other partial days.

Predicting Stock Returns Using Accounting Fundamentals
October 4, 2006 - Fundamental Valuation
Which accounting data is most important in predicting future stock returns? In their July 2006 paper entitled "How Do Accounting Variables Explain Stock Price Movements? Theory and Evidence", Peter Chen and Guochang Zhang test the predictive power of a model that combines the discount rate with four indicators of company cash flow: (1) earnings yield; (2) capital investment; (3) changes in profitability; and, (4) changes in growth opportunities. Earnings yield indicates current cash flow generation, while the other three factors indicate future changes in cash flow generation. Using annual company-level accounting data and analyst growth forecasts for cash flow indicators (27,897 firm-year observations over the period 1983-2001) and the yield on 10-year Treasury notes for the discount rate, they conclude that: Keep Reading
An Equity Risk Premium Opus
October 2, 2006 - Equity Premium, Fundamental Valuation
What excess return have you gotten, do you expect, should you require, does the market imply for taking the risk of owning stocks? In his September 2006 paper entitled "Equity Premium: Historical, Expected, Required and Implied", Pablo Fernandez addresses all these questions in a comprehensive overview/history and analysis of the equity risk premium in the U.S. and other countries. He begins with definitions of four perspectives on the equity premium, the first equal for all investors and the other three varying among investors: Keep Reading
Sell Risk to Growth Investors and Buy It from Value Investors?
September 29, 2006 - Equity Options, Value Premium
Are value (growth) investors stolid conservatives (wild risk-takers)? If so, is there a way to trade on the difference in behavioral preferences? In their September 2006 paper entitled "Risk Aversion and Clientele Effects", Douglas Blackburn, William Goetzmann and Andrey Ukhov compare the risk preferences of value and growth investors by examining: (1) option prices for pairs of value-growth indexes, and (2) funds flows for value and growth mutual funds. They further investigate whether any profitable options trading strategies devolve from the difference in risk preferences. Using recent data for five value-growth index pairs and for several value and growth mutual funds, they find that: Keep Reading
International Diversification with Small Stocks: A Two-fold Size Effect
September 28, 2006 - Size Effect
Are there diversification and return advantages from getting off the beaten path (to small-capitalization stocks) when diversifying internationally? In their September 2006 paper entitled "International Diversification with Large- and Small-Cap Stocks", Cheol Eun, Wei Huang and Sandy Lai compare the benefits of using large-capitalization and small-capitalization stocks to diversify across countries. Taking the perspective of a dollar-based investor, they examine diversification across ten countries with open capital markets (Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and the United States). Using monthly size and return data for three market capitalization-based funds (large-cap, mid-cap and small-cap) for each country over the period 1980-1999, they conclude that: Keep Reading
Measuring Investor/Trader Risk Aversion
September 25, 2006 - Equity Options, Volatility Effects
Does a willingness to pay more or less for options than indicated by recent actual levels of stock return volatility reflect the current level of investor/trader risk aversion? In other words, does the gap between option-implied and historical stock return volatilities provide a tradable measure of fearfulness? In the September 2006 draft of their paper entitled "Expected Stock Returns and Variance Risk Premia", Tim Bollerslev, George Tauchen and Hao Zhou investigate the predictive power of the implied-historical volatility gap for future stock returns. Using monthly data for the S&P 500 index (VIX for implied volatility and a summation of five-minute squared returns for historical volatility) for the period 1990-2005, they find that: Keep Reading
The Timing (In)Ability of Mutual Fund Investors
September 22, 2006 - Individual Investing, Mutual/Hedge Funds
Do mutual fund investors move their money into and out of the stock market at the right times, or the wrong times? In their August 2006 paper entitled "Mutual Fund Flows and Investor Returns: An Empirical Examination of Fund Investor Timing Ability", Geoffrey Friesen and Travis Sapp examine the flows of funds to/from individual mutual funds to measure the timing ability of fund investors. They define a "performance gap" between the time-weighted (buy-and-hold) return and the dollar-weighted (actual investor average) return as the measure of investor timing ability. Using monthly data for 7,125 mutual funds over the period 1991-2004, they find that: Keep Reading
Technical Analysis as Folk Medicine
September 21, 2006 - Technical Trading
Is there a way to end the endless debate on the merits of technical analysis? In his September 2006 paper entitled "On the Analogy Between Scientific Study of Technical Analysis and Ethnopharmacology", Waldemar Stronka proposes bringing technical analysis into the financial economics fold in a manner analogous to the successful incorporation of folk medicine by pharmacology. Specifically, he notes that: Keep Reading
Do Mutual Funds That Practice Behavioral Finance Principles Outperform?
September 20, 2006 - Animal Spirits, Mutual/Hedge Funds
Do mutual funds that implement the tenets of behavioral finance, in defiance of the Efficient Market Hypothesis, outperform? Can they find and exploit systematic behavioral mispricings? In their August 2006 paper entitled "Behavioral Finance: Are the Disciples Profiting from the Doctrine?", Colby Wright, Prithviraj Banerjee and Vaneesha Boney assess whether expert investors have validated the principles of behavioral finance by examining the aggregate performance of a group of mutual funds that practice them. Using equal-weighted data for 16 mutual funds most visibly associated with behavioral finance (see table below), they find that: Keep Reading
Essential Ingredients for a Stock Market Boom
September 19, 2006 - Economic Indicators
What kind of economic environment makes a stock market boom? What changes in that environment lead to bust? In their September 2006 paper entitled "When Do Stock Market Booms Occur? The Macroeconomic and Policy Environments of 20th Century Booms", Michael Bordo and David Wheelock examine the economic and policy conditions that supported equity market booms in ten developed countries (Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Netherlands, Sweden, the United Kingdom and the United States) during the 20th century. Using monthly inflation-adjusted stock prices from these countries, they conclude that: Keep Reading
Does Technical Trading Work for Certain Kinds of Stocks?
Can technical traders make money if they focus on stocks that are small, illiquid or in specific industries? In their September 2006 paper entitled "Is Technical Analysis Profitable on U.S. Stocks with Certain Size, Liquidity or Industry Characteristics?", Ben Marshall, Sun Qian and Martin Young test three widely used technical trading rules: (1) the variable length moving average rule: (2) the fixed length moving average rule; and, (3) the trading range break-out rule. Using daily close data for 1,065 NYSE and NASDAQ stocks trading over the entire period 1990-2004, they find that: Keep Reading

Q: Passing variables from within VueJS components I am new to VueJs and Laravel. I am trying to build a chat app following this tutorial, and my problem is that I am not able to pass a CONTACT variable (object type) from ChatApp.vue to Conversation.vue. The console gives this error
[Vue warn]: Invalid prop: type check failed for prop "contact". Expected Object, got Null
found in ---> <MessageFeed> at resources/js/officer/components/MessageFeed.vue
   <Conversation> at resources/js/officer/components/Conversation.vue
     <ChatApp> at resources/js/officer/components/ChatApp.vue
       <Root>

first the variable has to pass through ChatApp to Conversation and then to MessageFeed. I tried printing it on console, in ChatApp.vue, it printed the variable's property i.e. name but when I try to print it in Conversation.vue, it says it is null and also gives the above error.
please see the code below:
ChatApp.vue
<template>

    <Conversation :contact="selectedContact" :messages="messages" @new="saveNewMessage"/>
    <ContactsList :contacts="contacts" @selected="startConversationWith"/>

A number of scholars have criticized the various approaches used in the study of the historical Jesus—on one hand, for the lack of rigor in research methods; on the other, for being driven by "specific agendas" that interpret ancient sources to fit specific goals.  By the 21st century, the "maximalist" approaches of the 19th century, which accepted all the gospels, and the "minimalist" trends of the early 20th century, which totally rejected them, were abandoned and scholars began to focus on what is historically probable and plausible about Jesus.

LISA can provide (large) volumes of disk storage capacity (other than the M:, the P: and the U: drive) in three different ways.
In all three cases, use is made of centralized storage facilities, which are accessible through UTnet.
Suitable for the storage of data that does not require extremely high I/O capacity (as an indication and in comparison: maximum 2,000 IOPS, 250 MB/s throughput).
Examples: data supplied in batches, measuring results, (intermediate) outcomes of operations and calculations, data that are subject to few changes, recordings of lectures, photo, video and audio collections.
The facility will be set up using standard hard disks in a RAID configuration. Access to the storage is possible using a single Windows or Linux server and also through an SMB/NFS Mount Point. Users can access the storage in the same way as they access the M: or P: disk, but also as a share.
Suitable for data storage where high demands are placed on the I/O capacity (as an indication and in comparison: max. 25,000 IOPS, 750 MB/s throughput).
Examples: data that are produced in real-time and must be stored, databases, websites. The operating system and other data used by virtual machines. The Exchange database.
The facility will be set up using a mix of a solid-state disk, fast hard disks and standard hard disks. A RAID configuration will be used. Users will be able to access the storage facility through a high-availability VM Windows or Linux server. Users can access the storage facility in the same way as they access the M or P disk, but they can also access it like a share.
In this case users access the storage facility through a VM Windows server, the 'restore previous versions' functionality for files deleted or changed within the last 30 days will be available to them. This applies only to the Windows UT workplace. It does not apply to BYOD devices. The workplace must be included in AD.
Data are replicated and stored by default. With backup. For description of this service, see: https://www.utwente.nl/en/cfm/services-abc/!/product/p883320/backups-for-employees.
Developed in response to the demand for storage volumes, especially for research data. Magnitude ranging from 5 TB to 100 TB of net capacity.
Examples: storing satellite data, maps, large amounts of measurement data. The access to the data must be available for a relatively small group (other than the Exchange database via Outlook, other than the personal data on the M: disk).
It always involves tailor-made solutions. That means that the characteristics listed below are always entered in consultation.
Further options: access via UTnet, AD connection possible, possibly used as FTP server, possibility of web server functionality.
The costs (per GB per year) are to a great extent dependent upon the chosen solution. As an indication, a configuration of 32 TB net, single implementation, costs about 0.08 euro per GB per year.
Through the LISA account manager for the faculty or department.
Information about the costs for Normal Quality and High Quality can be found via the Self Service Portal.
To use this service you need a UT ICT account.
Storage on NAS: tailor-made solutions. Individual agreements for delivery and delivery time and other conditions.
If you have any further questions or wish to report any malfunctions, please contact the Service desk ICT.
It is generally recommended to only use single storage of data if they are used as 'scratch' data: in the unlikely event of loss through a hardware failure, such data can be easily restored, with the necessary recovery time being less important.
In addition, the application for which the data is used determines which specific requirements are important. On the basis of this it can be determined what type of storage is the most appropriate. If you would like to be informed about this, please contact the LISA account manager.


It is my pleasure to welcome you all to the UPU Conference on Postal Regulation. This is an important regular event that is organized session under the umbrella of the Council of Administration and with the support and the input of Committee 2.
The UPU has been organizing this Conference on Postal Regulation since 2009 following a resolution of the Geneva Congress.
As you know, the UPU provides the postal community with a unique platform to address all the strategic challenges our sector is facing, whether operational, commercial or regulatory.
During the Conference on Postal Regulation, we are gathering here the stakeholders involved in designing, implementing and monitoring postal regulatory frameworks in different parts of the Union's membership.
Postal regulation is an important tool by which governments can effectively position the postal sector to meet its rapidly evolving challenges and opportunities as well as critical infrastructure by which various public policy objectives can be achieved.
According to a 2017 UPU survey on the main aspects of universal postal service, 43% of respondents anticipate policy changes to universal postal service provision.
In addition, they indicate that the cost of the UPS, the growth of e-commerce, and technology changes, are major key drivers for anticipated policy change.
This is why the topic of our Conference today is particularly timely and relevant, as it will address the nexus between e-commerce and the Universal Service, examining both the impacts on Regulation as well as the opportunities provided to sector players. The European Regulators Group for Postal Services, the United Kingdom's Ofcom, and the Communications Regulators' Association of Southern Africa will present their perspectives on how they expect that the UPS will adapt to changing postal markets, particularly the impact of the growth of e-commerce on the UPS and how it will change the scope of the UPS.
Through its survey, the IB identified 102 member countries that have established some sort of funding mechanism for the universal postal service; however, the major source of funding comes from government subsidy and/or revenues from traffic in the reserved area. By contrast, specially created funds are the number one source of funding in Western Europe.
In this sense, the Conference will explore the main funding models and cost accounting for the UPS and speakers will explain how they are moving forward in order to maintain the UPS and secure its sustainability by adopting financial models for the universal postal service. Moreover, they will share how their particular model has evolved through the changes in the market environment and regulatory frameworks.
To sum up, I would like to thank the moderators, Mr. Jack Hamande and Mr. Matano Ndaro, co-Chairmen of CA Committee 2, who will lead our discussion today.
I wish you an excellent conference and hand it over to the moderator.

VIEW FROM AROUND THE STATE: Recount of close Supreme Court race makes plenty of sense
By: Associated Press	April 8, 2019 1:34 pm
The race for Wisconsin Supreme Court produced one of the closest results in recent state history. With an unofficial count of the more than 1.2 million votes cast in Tuesday's election for the open seat, Judge Brian Hagedorn, a favorite of conservatives, leads Judge Lisa Neubauer, the chief judge of the Wisconsin Court of Appeals who drew substantial backing from liberals, by roughly 6,000 votes.
That's a 50.2 percent to 49.8 percent lead for Hagedorn. He says: "The people of Wisconsin have spoken and our margin of victory is insurmountable." Neubauer's team took a different view on election night, announcing: "We are almost assuredly headed to a recount. We are going to make sure every vote is counted. Wisconsinites deserve to know we have had a fair election and that every vote is counted."
A 6,000-vote lead is tough to overcome. But we disagree with Hagedorn's suggestion that it doesn't make sense for Neubauer to pursue a recount.
Neubauer and her aides will have to decide how they want to proceed. But if they request an official recount, the ask should be respected as appropriate, well intended and good for Wisconsin.
First off, the margin now stands within the range where state law allows for a recount. After a review of the ballots to establish the official count, it could get closer. So talk of a recount is reasonable based on the numbers.
Beyond that, we believe, as we have frequently stated over the years, that recounts of votes and official reviews of close races are vital to maintaining confidence in national, state and local elections.
When elections produce a close or controversial result, it is appropriate for candidates who appear to be on the losing end of the count to ask questions and to pursue remedies. No one expects the candidates who are ahead on election night to object to the count; they are too busy claiming the "mandates" they believe have been accorded them.
It falls to candidates who hold out a small hope for a reversal of fortune to demand that every vote be counted and counted accurately. This is one of the reasons states allow for recounts and reviews of voting.
Unfortunately, in an age of hyperpartisan spin by candidates, campaigns and partisans on all sides, there is a tendency to see demands for recounts as the burdensome expressions of sore losers. Sometimes they are that. But for Wisconsinites who concern themselves with the functioning of elections that confer authority on executives, legislators and jurists, recounts are understood as fundamental underpinnings of democracy. They only rarely overturn initial results. But even when they simply confirm those results, they give us all greater confidence in the infrastructure of Wisconsin democracy.

And so here we are - the final hours of the first decade of the 'new millennium'. Remember all that fuss ten years ago right now. Of course you do. The media hype that we were going to wake up to an entirely different world because our computers weren't programed to handle something or other. We weren't going to have power so people had frantically bought every generator available. And the next day dawned to a totally ordinary day.
It's bad enough that a year flies by at a ridiculous speed, but it's particularly disturbing when the ten year chunks are a blink as well. I've generally thought of my life in ten year blocks - either by the calendar or by my own fiscal years. I've set my sights on having ten of them & I really am not overly enthusiastic to see them slipping down the hour glass so quickly.
Ten years ago, we spent New Year's Eve with our friends & my sister and brother in law, the same folks that we will usher it in with this year.
Twenty years ago, we spent it in the funeral home in another town, feeling totally displaced as 'orphans'. Our last night on earth with our darling Dad. That was the most difficult of years - saying goodbye.
Thirty years ago, I spent it in the hospital with my precious newborn son. My roommate and I sat at the nurse's station, waiting for the arrival of the New Year's baby - toasting with champagne at midnight. That was the most delightful of years - saying hello.
Forty years ago, I was having fun as a teeanger - partying with the same dear friends that I had a lovely lunch with yesterday.
And right now, we're off to my sister's to be with them and the same friends that we've spent the majority of New Year's Eve with over the past 25 years. We will count down together as we watch the ball drop in The Big Apple. We will hug & kiss and congratulate ourselves for still being here for another year. And we will be grateful for one more time to be together to celebrate Life & Family & Friends.
I thought a lot about this post last night... interesting exercise. I came to the conclusion, the decade new years were not where the action was in my life... It was in the tween years that all the big events took place. Your post really had me scrambling through old memories!
I think that's really neat that it made you think of your New Year's memories. All my 'tween' years are blurred together for the most part - I'd be scrambling to come up any that stand out. Reading your blog though - oh my - now THAT is a OUTSTANDING Stand Out!!!!

Gift Annuity Rates Increased, New Funding Opportunity
Have you been thinking about a charitable gift annuity? Now is the time to take another look because payout rates for new gift annuities increased on January 1, 2023, and the omnibus spending bill, recently signed into law by the President, created a new funding opportunity for charitable gift annuities with IRA assets.
What do the new charitable gift annuity rates mean?
Rates increased for all age levels for both one-life and two-life charitable gift annuities.
One Life Two Lives
Age Previous
Rate Rate
1/1/2023 Ages Previous
65 4.8% 5.4% 65-65 4.3% 4.7%
The benefits of a charitable gift annuity completed after January 1, 2023, include:
Locking in the new, higher rates.
Achieving the satisfaction of making a meaningful difference with your gift.
Enjoying the security of guaranteed income payments for life.
Obtaining relief from taxes. You may be able to claim an income-tax charitable deduction, and each payment may be partly tax-free for your life expectancy.
New Funding Opportunity! You Can Now Receive Life Income by Making an IRA Charitable Gift
The Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2023, also known as the omnibus bill, includes a provision that will allow individuals to transfer from an IRA up to $50,000 (also adjusted for inflation beginning in 2024) to fund a gift annuity, a charitable remainder annuity trust, or a charitable remainder unitrust—all of which can be designed to pay income to the IRA owner, the spouse of the owner, or the owner and spouse jointly.
Unlike direct transfers to charities for current purposes, which can be made year after year, the transfer for a life-income plan can only be made in one tax year. During that year, transfers for both direct gifts and for life-income plans can be made. For example, a donor might transfer to a charity $50,000 as a direct (outright) gift and $50,000 for a gift annuity. That would be the end of the life-income gift transfers, but outright-gift transfers could continue year after year, subject to the $100,000 cap, adjusted for inflation.
Example of new provision: Rachel, aged 75, has $800,000 in her IRA, and she has been considering a gift of $50,000 made with IRA funds. If she transfers $50,000 as an outright gift, the charity will have $50,000 to use now—but afterwards she will have only $750,000 to earn income and be distributed. If she transfers the $50,000 for a gift annuity, she will receive for life $3,300 per year and $750,000 will remain in her IRA to earn income and be available for distributions. The combination of IRA distributions and annuity payments enables her to sustain her income while making a gift.
The Type of IRA Gift Depends on Your Situation
If your IRA balance plus other assets are more than enough for a secure retirement, consider an outright transfer of IRA funds—as you may have been doing. Your gift will go to work right now for the cause you want to support.
If you want to make a gift that satisfies all or part of your distribution requirement but also pays life income, transfer some of your IRA funds for a gift annuity or a charitable remainder annuity trust or remainder trust. Because of the low minimum size, a gift annuity will be more common.
Consult Us for Information
Contact our office for an illustration showing what you would receive if you fund a life-income plan with your IRA and for an explanation of the procedure for making such a gift.

Maxwell, residing in the northeast part of town, had attempted suicide by cutting her throat with a butcher knife. She was rushed to a hospital in Macomb where she passed away Saturday night at about midnight.
Mrs. Maxwell was preparing the noon meal. Her daughter, Wandaleigh, aged 13, was assisting her and her mother, Mrs. Alice Welker, who resides a few blocks away was there at the time.
Mrs. Maxwell went out on the porch of her home where she sat down. Presently she left the porch and her mother, Mrs. Welker, who noticed she was gone, asked her granddaughter Wandaleigh to look for her mother. The child left the house in search of her. Calling for her, she was horrified to see her mother stagger from a nearby woodhouse with her throat cut and collapse on the ground.
The little girl called for help and Childs Bowser was the first to come to her assistance. Dr. E. M. Price was summoned and finding the woman in a serious condition, ordered her taken immediately to a hospital. She was rushed to a Macomb hospital where she was given medical attention.
Mrs. Maxwell was unable to speak due to the fact that she had severed the vocal organs. A wound some four inches long was made in her throat.
Mrs. Maxwell seemed to be in fair spirits during the day and had not indicated in any way to the members of her family that she contemplated committing the terrible deed she committed. Some weeks ago she had the third finger of her left hand amputated and this seemed to give her a great deal of worry, although the wound had entirely healed.
Marnie Leona, daughter of Geo. R. and Alice M. Welker, was born in Woodland township, June 26, 1892 and departed this life June 16, 1928, aged 35 years, 11 months and 20 days.
She was united in marriage to Elzie Maxwell, Dec. 4, 1912, and to this union seven children were born: Dale Eugene, Wayne Devere and Sarah Alice preceded the mother in death. Those who are left to mourn are: Wilford, Wandaleigh [listed in this paragraph as "Wanda Lee" in original obit - Ed.], John and Charles. During the pastorate of Rev. Ella Niswonger she professed faith in Christ and united with the U. B. church of Astoria of which she was a member at death. She united with the church Feb. 7, 1912 and was baptized by Rev. Edwards July 28, the same year.
Mrs. Maxwell leaves to mourn her departure the above named husband and children, her aged mother, three brothers, Harley Welker, Jesse Welker and John Welker, one sister, Mrs. Maud Wilson, a host of relatives and friends.
Funeral services were held at the U. B. church Tuesday at 2:30 P. M. conducted by the pastor Rev. W. R. Seitzinger and interment in the Astoria cemetery.

This week Saturday the Jack Daniel's Music Scouts finale takes place at Turbine Hall where the winner of their talent search comes to an end – and we're rooting for HIP HOP no doubt! T-BO Touch, DJ Vinny Da Vinci and Mandla 'Spikiri' Mofokeng partnered up with Jack Daniel's to help scout for the hottest talent in Mzansi, whether unsigned musicians, vocalists or DJs.
With over 1,300 entries received, 12 semi-finalists were announced, and then it was down to the final three: Nqobizizwe Buthelezi aka iSesh, rapper Lection, and jazz band Velvet Suite Lounge who will go head to head at the finals. Tickets are R150 and can be purchased via the JD Facebook page at Facebook.com/JackDanielsSA.
Selected from a combination of public votes via the Jack Daniel's Facebook page and valuable input from the JD Music Scouts themselves – the search for authentic South African talent is almost at its pinnacle.
The winning artists, as selected by the JD Music Scouts, in addition to receiving exposure through the campaign, will win a trip to the US to discover the history of hip hop and house music.


text: 56 LOUISVILLE MAGAZINE 7.19 Photo by Jessica Ebelhar A FEAR-FREE, FRIENDLY FORECAST A couple months ago, I was watching a meteorologist (not Tawana Andrew) who delivered a forecast like a grizzled safari guide schooling his reckless lot. There is DANGER out there. And you have a choice: Listen to my every word or risk your damn life. If you don't have my app, get it. If you're not one to pray, might want to start now. I'm barely exaggerating. Rain. It was raining. Such wildly intense moments of TV weather make me appreciate Tawana Andrew. Andrew, who forecasts weekday mornings on WAVE-3, has a calm confidence. She knows her stuff. And she'll tell you that stuff without a trace of hysteria. "Scaring people is not part of the job; informing people is. There's no purpose in giving some little old lady a panic attack," Andrew says with a laugh. Andrew was born in the Caribbean Islands and raised in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Hurricanes and severe storms left the now-25-year-old in awe of weather. At Florida State, she majored in meteorology and minored in math and physics. She had her sights set on a career in research, specifically studying tornadoes that form inside hurricanes. (Andrew's scientific knowledge is evident on her weekly radio segment "Science Behind the Forecast," which airs Friday mornings on WFPL.) She says she was "totally against" a broadcast career in college. Then, during her junior year, she took a weather-forecasting class. Something clicked. "I love the science behind everything," she says. "And being on TV is one way I get to do what I love." — Anne Marshall


Some time ago I got an interesting inquiry from a man who's ancestors came from Croatia. He had worked on his family tree for some time and wanted a more experienced researcher to extend the research, double check the dates, family links and perhaps find some people that he might have missed. So I got his file and started my work.
I was impressed by how good the research this man had done and I didn't find many significant mistakes. Well, there were a few names wrongly linked and I did find quite a few relatives that he missed, but all in all, he did a very good job.
As I was checking this family tree, I was thinking how many people do their family trees and are not quite resourceful and consistent at what they do. Sometimes they base their research on 'family stories' that go 200 years back and are nothing more than legends without any genealogical evidence to support them.
There are people who's stories, when they start telling them, begin something like 'when my first ancestor came to our town back in the 15th century' or 'one of our grandfathers purchased this land way back at the beginning of the 16th century'. I don't dare to ask them how they came to these conclusions or where are the written data to support such claims.
A true genealogist should rather stick to the 'old way'- building the history based on evidence and documents even when they don't get them further back than 17th or 18th century. This way one can be sure that the data collected is true and can be safely passed on to next generations.

Protecting Consumers from Data-driven and Cross-device "Native" Advertising
By: Jeff Chester | May 6 2015
So-called "native advertising" ─where advertiser-produced or –directed content is designed to blend in with online editorial information ─ is quickly becoming a dominant way American consumers receive marketing. Marketers in the U.S. spent nearly $8 billion last year on native ads (up $3 billion from 2013), which is expected to rise to $21 billion by2018.1 Native ads are where the "format and the tone match that of a publisher's original editorial content.2
