Special Conditions for Monitoring
Institutional Designations
Institutional designations are used to indicate when an institution is in financial distress or under governmental investigation. They allow HLC to respond quickly to developing situations at member institutions and to communicate to students and the public in a timely manner about situations that may affect an institution's operations.
Institutional Designations Procedure
Institutions may be placed on a sanction when HLC determines the institution does not meet, or is at risk of not meeting, the Criteria for Accreditation, Federal Compliance requirements, or Assumed Practices. The institution may be placed on Notice or Probation. Institutions on sanction maintain their accredited status.
An institution is placed on Notice when it is at risk of not meeting one or more of the Criteria for Accreditation, Federal Compliance requirements or Assumed Practices. All Institutions on Notice are placed on the Standard Pathway.
Institutions are placed on Notice for no more than two years. In that time, the institution submits a notice report providing evidence it is no longer at risk of failing to meet the Criteria for Accreditation, Federal Compliance requirements or Assumed Practices. The institution may host a Notice Visit to prove that the areas of concern have been improved.
If the institution is no longer at risk of failing to meet the Criteria for Accreditation, Federal Compliance requirements or Assumed Practices it is removed from Notice. If the institution is still at risk, or if the institution is no longer meeting the Criteria for Accreditation, another action may be taken.
An institution is placed on Probation when it no longer meets one or more of the Criteria for Accreditation, Assumed Practices or Federal Compliance Requirements. Institutions on Probation are removed from their pathway.
The probation period lasts two years. Institutions on probation undergo a comprehensive evaluation, including an Assurance Filing, Federal Compliance Filing and on-site visit, to offer HLC evidence that the areas of concern have been ameliorated.
If the institution has addressed the areas of concern and meets all of the Criteria for Accreditation, Federal Compliance requirements and Assumed Practices, it is removed from Probation and placed on the Standard Pathway. If the institution still does not meet all of the requirements, HLC may take another action, including issuing a Show Cause order or withdrawing accreditation.
Show-Cause
Institutions are issued a Show-Cause Order when they are not meeting the Criteria for Accreditation, Federal Compliance requirements or Assumed Practices to such an extent that HLC asks the institution to demonstrate why its accreditation should not be withdrawn. Institutions issued a Show-Cause Order are removed from their pathway.
Institutions on Show-Cause have no more than one year to demonstrate that they should maintain their accreditation. Institutions submit a Show-Cause Report that documents that they meet all of the Criteria for Accreditation, Federal Compliance requirements and Assumed Practices.
If HLC determines the institution meets the Criteria for Accreditation, Federal Compliance requirements and Assumed Practices, it may remove the institution from Show-Cause. An institution removed from Show-Cause may be subject to a period of Notice if it is at risk of not meeting the Criteria for Accreditation. If the institution has not proven that it should maintain its accreditation, HLC may withdraw accreditation.
Adverse actions of the Board of Trustees include decisions that:
Withdraw or deny accreditation, unless the Board denies an early application for accreditation and continues candidate for accreditation status or extends it to a fifth year.
Withdraw or deny candidacy.
Move the institution from accredited to candidate status.
Withdrawal or Denial of Accreditation
An institution's accreditation may be denied or withdrawn if it does not meet one or more of the Criteria for Accreditation, Federal Compliance requirements, Assumed Practices or Obligations of Affiliation. Accreditation may also be withdrawn from an institution if it no longer operates as an educational institution or if its legal authorization to operate and grant degrees is terminated
A candidate institution may be denied accreditation if it is unable to meet all of the Criteria for Accreditation, Assumed Practices, Eligibility Requirements or Obligations of Affiliation, during its candidacy period.
Withdrawal or Denial of Candidacy
An institution may be denied candidacy, or its candidacy may be withdrawn, if it fails to meet one or more of the Eligibility Requirements, the Assumed Practices or Federal Compliance requirements, or the institution has not provided sufficient evidence that the Criteria for Accreditation can be met within the candidacy period.
Accredited to Candidate Status
An institution undergoing a change of control, structure or organization may be moved from accredited to candidate status. An institution may be moved to candidate status if HLC determines that the institution meets the Eligibility Requirements and Assumed Practices, but no longer meets all of the Criteria for Accreditation and Federal Compliance requirements.
Appeals of Adverse Actions
Per HLC policy, institutions may have the opportunity to appeal an adverse action by the Board. The grounds for an appeal are:
The Board's decision was arbitrary, capricious, or not supported by substantial evidence in the record on which the Board took action.
The procedures used to reach the decision were contrary to HLC bylaws, policies, and practices, and that procedural error prejudiced the Board's consideration.
The appeal is limited to only the evidence that was provided to the Board at the time of its decision.
Institutions are obligated to disclose any sanctions, Show-Cause orders and adverse actions to the public. Once the institution has been notified of one of the above actions, the institution's Statement of Accreditation Status in HLC's Directory of Institutions is updated to reflect the sanction.
Voluntary Withdrawal of Application for Affiliation
An institution may withdraw its application for affiliation at any time before a decision on affiliation is made by HLC. The institution's governing body must initiate the voluntary withdrawal.
Resignation of Affiliation
Candidate and accredited institutions may voluntarily resign their affiliation with HLC at any time. The institution's governing board must initiate the resignation with a formal letter sent by the president of the institution. Institutions resigning their accreditation are still required to meet all Obligations of Affiliation until the resignation becomes effective.
Voluntary Resignation Procedure
Reapplication
Per HLC policy, institutions that withdraw their application for affiliation, resign their status or have their status denied or withdrawn by HLC must begin with the Eligibility Process if they wish to regain accreditation. Institutions denied candidacy must wait one year before reapplying. Institutions denied initial accreditation and institutions that have had their accreditation or application for candidacy withdrawn by HLC must wait two years before reapplying.

Cannabis: State of the Science
Thursday, 28 February 2019 16:17 By Erik Goldman, Editor
These days, cannabis and cannabis-derived compounds are ubiquitous.
Millions use these products with the hope of preventing or mitigating a wide variety of disorders—everything from chronic pain and insomnia to diabetes and some forms of cancer. Odds are good that some of your patients are among them.
So, it is reasonable to ask: Is there any solid science to support the use of phytocannabinoids in clinical practice?
The answer is yes….and no.
It depends on how you define "cannabis" and "cannabinoids;" whether you're talking about inhaled (ie, smoked or vaped), ingested, or sublingual delivery; and of course, which diseases you're considering. The quantity and quality of evidence varies widely.
"Cannabinoid science is still in a very early stage," said Richard Carlton, MD, in a webinar hosted by Holistic Primary Care, and sponsored by the Helix Institute of Health. "In truth, most of the phytocannabinoids have barely been characterized."
Carlton is a New York City psychiatrist who has used cannabis clinically for decades. He also worked closely with New York State legislators in developing that state's medical cannabis program.
The first thing to understand is that cannabis is complex, says Carlton. "The plant contains literally thousands of bioactive compounds, and at least 80 known cannabinoid compounds." THC and CBD are the headline-grabbers. But there are others, including cannabivarin (CBV), and cannabigerol (CBG), that may have anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant effects, and possibly neuro-reparative effects.
The ECS Circuit-Breaker
The endocannabinoid system (ECS) is, essentially a set of biochemical circuit breakers that helps the nervous system self-regulate, he explained.
"When a presynaptic neuron is firing excessively, and thereby inducing excessive activation at the post-synaptic cleft–as would be the case from glutamatergic excitoxicity in seizures, stroke, and traumatic brain injury–the post-synaptic neuron can "sense" this excessive activity, and reacts to it by synthesizing and releasing an endocannabinoid, like anandamide or 2-AG, that down-regulate that excessive firing."
In essence, phytocannabinoids from C. sativa (and, to be fair, some other plants also) give similar effects. Cannabinoids may also interact with other physiological systems, including the gut microbiome. But researchers attribute most of the reported benefits to the effects of cannabinoids on the ECS.
And yes, says Carlton, there are controlled studies showing that inhaled or ingested cannabis—or extracts from it—have some degree of efficacy in: multiple sclerosis, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Parkinson's, dementia, migraines, chronic pain, migraines, seizure disorders, gastroesophageal reflux, Crohn's and ulcerative colitis, diabetes, premenstrual symptoms, and some types of cancer (as palliative and directly anti-neoplastic). But there are also plenty of negative studies showing little or no effect.
Hazekamp and Grotenherman at Leiden University summarized many of these trials. They note, "cannabinoids present an interesting therapeutic potential mainly as analgesics in chronic neuropathic pain, appetite stimulants in debilitating diseases (cancer and AIDS), as well as in the treatment of multiple sclerosis (Hazekamp A, Grotenhermen F. Cannabinoids. 2010: 5: 1-21).
A new review of CBD research by CM White, a University of Connecticut pharmacist, concludes that the evidence is strong for purified CBD as a treatment for refractory seizures, and promising for schizophrenia and certain forms of anxiety. But the data are far less convincing for other conditions (White CM. J Clin Pharmacol. 2019)
In reading a cannabinoid study, keep in mind the specific substance being tested: Is it cannabis plant material smoked, vaporized, or ingested? Purified cannabinoid extracts (ie CBD, THC)? Synthetic cannabinoids? Equally important is the dose level and cannabinoid concentration.
Many of the best studies were done either with inhaled cannabis containing a wide spectrum of compounds, or with highly purified, concentrated CBD or CBD/THC combined. The outcomes from a given trial are specific to the particular form(s) and dose(s) tested, and for the particular patient type with the specific condition described in the paper.
One of the biggest challenges in this field is that marketers often cite data on one form, dose level, or patient group to support claims about very different forms or patient types. They may imply an equivalence that has not yet been proven.
When it comes to cannabis claims, balance open-mindedness with good critical thinking. Following is a brief review—by no means comprehensive—of important cannabinoid science.
The case for CBD as a treatment of refractory seizures is strong, thanks largely to a series of trials sponsored by GW Pharmaceuticals in support of Epidiolex, its 99% pure plant-derived CBD. Those, and other trials were thoroughly reviewed in articles by Perucca and Stockings et al, and they laid the basis for the FDA's approval of Epidiolex for Dravet and Lennox-Gastaut Syndromes.
A new review by University of Colorado researchers confirms Epidiolex' status as a "new hope" for patients with severe seizure disorders (Chen JW et al. Ann Pharmacother. 2019). Similarly, University of Alabama neurologists note that open-label expanded access programs show that purified CBD gives, "significant improvement in seizure frequency in large numbers of patients with various types of treatment-refractory epilepsy," while randomized controlled trials show "significant seizure reduction compared to placebo" in patients with Dravet or Lennox-Gastaut (Gaston TE, Szaflarski JP. Curr Neurol Neurosci Rep. 2018.)
In a new open-label extension trial involving 264 refractory seizure patients, New York University researchers report that at a median dose of 21 mg/kg per day for 9 months or more, CBD produced "sustained, clinically meaningful reductions in seizure frequency." (Devinsky O, et al. Epilepsia. 2019).
While the evidence is impressive, bear in mind that all of these trials tested highly purified CBD as an adjunct in patients already taking one or, in many cases, several anti-seizure medications. As Zaheer and colleagues point out in their recent review, "it remains to be determined whether CBD is itself antiepileptic or a potentiator of traditional antiepileptic medications."
Also in question is whether non-Rx products with lower CBD levels can modulate seizures. There are plenty of testimonies and anecdotes, but so far, no one has tested that hypothesis.
In 2007, Abrams and colleagues at San Francisco General Hospital reported that smoked cannabis containing 3.56% THC could markedly reduce HIV-associated neuropathy. The study involved 50 patients. It was placebo controlled in the sense that the control group was given cannabis cigarettes with the cannabinoids extracted.
Patients using active cannabis (thrice daily) had a 34% reduction in mean pain intensity, versus 17% in the placebo group. In the active cannabinoids group, 52% of patients had a 30% or greater reduction in pain versus 24% in the control arm (Abrams DI, et al. Neurology, 2007).
Several years later, Abrams' group also showed that vaping THC-rich cannabis thrice daily reduced pain scores by an average of 10 to 11 points in 21 patients suffering chronic pain despite use of sustained-release morphine or oxycodone. THC appeared synergistic with opioids in terms of analgesia, but did not alter opioid blood levels (Abrams DI, et al. Clin Pharm Therapeut. 2011).
Prior to Epidiolex, GW Pharma had filed an investigational new drug (IND) application for its Sativex CBD/THC combination as a pain treatment. Investigator Ethan Russo notes that "numerous randomized clinical trials have demonstrated safety and efficacy for Sativex in central and peripheral neuropathic pain, rheumatoid arthritis, and cancer pain." (Russo EB, Ther Clin Risk Manag. 2008). Though approved in the UK, Europe, and parts of Asia, it has not yet been approved in the US.
While these studies do suggest that cannabis can attenuate certain types of intractable pain, they need to be interpreted cautiously.
Last year, the Cochrane Collaboration published a systematic review of 16 placebo-controlled pain studies using various forms of cannabis (10 of oral THC/CBD sprays; 2 of inhaled cannabis; 2 of naturally-occurring THC extract; one of nabilone, a synthetic THC-like compound).
Cochrane's conclusion? While cannabis‐based meds in aggregate performed better than placebo for pain relief, global symptom improvement, sleep and psychological distress, the quality of evidence is moderate at best, and the benefits may be outweighed by the high prevalence of non-serious but significant side effects like sleepiness, dizziness and cognitive problems such as confusion (Mucke M, et al. Cochrane Database Systematic Reviews. 2018).
In the cancer care context, recent randomized studies of Sativex in patients with refractory cancer-related pain have shown no significant benefits. That runs counter to earlier observational studies suggesting that cancer patients experience pain relief when using medical cannabis. This is a subject ripe for further exploration (Steele G, et al. Curr Oncol Rep. 2019)
Psychosis & Schizophrenia
A double-blind, randomized study comparing CBD versus the antipsychotic drug, amisulpride, in 39 patients with acute schizophrenia showed that at 800 mg, both treatments were safe and led to significant clinical improvements. But CBD had a better side-effect profile. Patients taking amisulpride were more prone to drug-associated weight gain and movement disorders; these adverse effects were not seen in CBD patients (Leweke FM, et al. Transl Psychiatry. 2012: 2(3): e94).
CBD produced marked increases in serum anandamide which correlated with the observed clinical improvement. The data suggest CBD's ability to block the deactivation of anandamide plays a big part in the antipsychotic effect. CBD inhibits degradation of anandamide in much the same way that monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) prevent breakdown of dopamine.
This cannabinoid, the authors say, represents a potentially new approach to treatment of schizophrenia.
Reviewing the study, John Krystal, MD, Chairman of Psychiatry at Yale noted that, "CBD, in addition to having fewer side effects, also seemed to work better on schizophrenia's negative symptoms, which are notoriously difficult to treat, including: social withdrawal, blunting of pleasure, and lack of motivation."
In a recent review on CBD for psychosis, Dr. Britta Hahn, of the Maryland Psychiatric Research Center writes: "There is increasing evidence that (CBD) can reduce symptoms of psychosis and act as an anxiolytic, both of which are relevant in schizophrenia." Further, she adds, "CBD seems to be very benign, much more so than the current standard-of-care antipsychotics and anxiolytics."
Sativex, the prescription THC/CBD product, has been approved in 15 countries for treatment of MS, though not in the US. There are several trials assessing other forms of cannabis in this disease.
The Cannabinoids in MS (CAMS) study, published in 2003, involved 630 MS patients randomized to oral cannabis extract (containing THC), dronabinol (a synthetic cannabinoid), or placebo. Both the plant-based cannabinoid extract and dronabinol reduced patient-reported measures of spasticity, pain, and sleep disturbances. However, there were no changes in overall MS assessment scores (Zajicek J, et al. Lancet, 2003).
In 2012, the same team compared oral cannabis extract (5-25 mg THC total) against placebo in 279 MS patients. They found 29% of those on active treatment experienced relief of muscle stiffness, compared to 16% in the placebo group. Cannabis patients had improvements in total body pain, spasticity, and sleep measures (Zajicek JP, et al. J Neurol Neurosurg Psychiatry. 2012).
In 2014, the American Academy of Neurology issued a position statement that certain forms of medical marijuana (pill or oral spray) have potential in the management of MS, based on a review of 33 studies of various forms of ingested cannabis.
In a study of 10 healthy male volunteers, single 400 mg doses of oral CBD produced significant reductions in anxiety and increased sedation. This was not just subjective; SPECT scans of subjects' brains showed modulations in regional cerebral blood flow in areas of the brain associated with anxiety.
"These results suggest that CBD has anxiolytic properties, and that these effects are mediated by an action on limbic and paralimbic brain areas," the authors report (Crippa J. et al. Neuropsychopharmacology (2004) 29, 417–426).
Anxiety is one of the most common conditions for which people seek medical marijuana and "OTC" cannabinoids like non-Rx CBD. But anxiety is also one of the most common adverse effects associated with high-THC cannabis.
There is a wealth of interesting animal work suggesting that CBD could reduce anxiety. Given what's known about the endocannabinoid system, there are certainly plausible pathways (Lisboa SF, et al. Vitam Horm. 2017). So far, however, there are no large clinical studies supporting cannabis as a treatment for anxiety.
For much of the last century, law enforcement and public health agencies claimed cannabis is a "gateway drug" for future addiction to opioids, cocaine, or other dangerous substances. Two years ago, epidemiological signals emerged to suggest that in fact, cannabis can be an "exit" off of addiction's highway to hell.
Dr. Carlton cited a 2017 report showing that in states where marijuana had been legalized, there were major reductions (on the order of 23%) in opioid-related hospitalizations and an aggregate 13% reduction in opioid overdoses.
Several groups have independently reported that when given unobstructed access to medical cannabis, patients using prescription opioids for chronic pain decrease their opioid use by 40-60%, and generally prefer the former over the latter.
Addiction researchers are beginning to take cannabis seriously as a harm reduction modality and perhaps even as a treatment for opiate addiction. In their recent review, Weise and Wilson-Poe note that while there's not yet a definitive clinical trial, the epidemiological signals combined with existing pre-clinical work make a compelling case for further investigation.
They point out, however, that despite the raging crisis of opioid addiction, the National Institutes of Health have shown little interest in funding research on cannabis as a solution. Nor have any pharmaceutical or supplement companies stepped up.
"Barriers to research funding and access to "real world" cannabis for clinical research directly contribute to our inability to address the opioid epidemic with what appears to be a safe and efficacious tool," they write (Weise B, Wilson-Poe AR. Cannabis Cannabinoid Res. 2018).
What about addiction to cannabis? There's a longstanding debate about whether the herb is truly addictive in the classical sense. But there's no doubt many people become dependent on smoking or vaping cannabis.
Dr. Carlton says there's a simple inexpensive treatment for breaking the herbal habit: N-acetylcysteine (NAC).
In an 8-week placebo-controlled study of 116 cannabis dependent teens, researchers at the Medical University of South Carolina showed that compared with placebo, NAC at daily doses of 1,200 mg, doubled the odds that the kids would cease smoking weed (based on results of urine tests). "The findings support NAC as a pharmacotherapy to complement psychosocial treatment for cannabis dependence," the authors write (Gray KM, et al. Am J Psychiatry. 2012).
Safety, Contraindications & Interactions
Given how widely it is used worldwide, and in how many forms, it is clear that cannabis is a fairly safe herb. There are few endocannabinoid receptors in the brain stem, and none in the parts that regulate respiration and heart function. Consequently, there's little—if any—risk of lethal overdoses, says Carlton. In this sense, cannabis could not be more different from opioids or cocaine.
That said, cannabinoids can have downsides. Whether inhaled or taken orally, used in whole-plant form or as concentrated extracts, they need to be handled carefully.
THC can definitely induce anxiety in some people. For this reason, THC in any form is absolutely contraindicated for people with unstable heart disease, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia, Dr. Carlton insisted.
In some people, THC-rich cannabis can induce hyperemesis—cyclic and uncontrollable vomiting. Though the true prevalence is not known, and is probably small, it is important to keep in mind. The good news is, the acute symptoms tend to improve with heat (hot showers) and generally stop with cannabis abstention (Sorensen CJ, et al. J Med Toxicol. 2017)
Both THC and CBD can induce or inhibit enzymes within the hepatic P450 system, and people on prescription drugs metabolized by P450 pathways need to be careful. As was pointed out in a recent ConsumerLab review, CBD is itself metabolized by p450 enzymes (CYP3A4 and CYP2C19). By competing for these enzymes, high-dose CBD can impair the clearance of other drugs broken down by those enzymes.
Likewise, prescription meds can alter the clearance of THC and CBD. Ketoconazole, for example, inhibits CYP3A4, and can therefore raise peak THC and CBD levels in people who use cannabis while taking the antifungal. Other drugs (clarithromycin, cyclosporine, verapamil among them) may do something similar (Horn JR, Pharmacy Times. 2014).
In their recent paper on cannabinoid treatments for epilepsy, Gaston and Szaflarski note that CBD "had a clear interaction with clobazam, significantly increasing levels of its active metabolite." There may also be interactions with rufinamide, zonisamide, topiramate, eslicarbazepine, and possibly warfarin.
Dr. Carlton says it is also important to carefully consider modes of delivery, all of which have pros and cons. Though he acknowledged that many people enjoy smoking cannabis, he does not consider it an appropriate mode of therapy.
Vaping is often promoted as a healthier alternative, and it has an advantage of rapid effect onset—typically within 60 seconds. However, that positive is greatly outweighed by a big negative: "It's dangerous to inhale propylene glycol (a common ingredient in vaping liquids), especially heated to ~200 degrees Fahrenheit."
Oral ingestion has a very slow onset—in the range of 2 hours, and an even slower offset, often 8 hours or more. That's not necessarily a problem for CBD, but for THC it can be highly problematic. The liver converts ingested Δ9-ΤHC into the far more psychoactive Δ11 form. This, plus the 8+ hour offset can be a nightmare for some.
Carlton says in general, he recommends oromucosal/sublingual delivery forms. They're fairly quick to kick in—usually within 3 minutes, and exert effects typically for about 3 hours. The only downside is that the products need to be alcohol-based tinctures, which can be problematic for people who need to avoid alcohol.

A hundred years on from Agatha Christie's first novel, crime fiction is going cosy again
Hercule Poirot and Miss Marples are among golden age sleuths giving new inspiration to a genre tired of alcoholic divorcees and goth hackers
Sat 10 Sep 2016 19.05 EDT Last modified on Thu 22 Feb 2018 09.48 EST

Forget domestic noir and put down all those books with "Girl" in the title. Crime fiction is turning back the clock to its golden age with a host of books that pay homage to the genre's grande dame, Agatha Christie, either intentionally or in spirit.
Last week saw the publication of Closed Casket, Sophie Hannah's second Hercule Poirot book, which "continues" the great sleuth's life of solving crimes. The book has been published to coincide with what would have been the author's birthday and to commemorate 100 years since she wrote her first published novel.
In October Hodder & Stoughton will bring out chatshow host Graham Norton's first novel, Holding, described as a story of "love, secrets and loss" centring around a crime in a small village in Ireland. In May, Bloomsbury publishes Plum Sykes's Party Girls Die In Pearls, the first of a new crime series billed as "Agatha Christie meets Clueless", and Orion has just announced a deal with bonkbuster queen Tilly Bagshawe to write a new "cosy" crime series as MB Shaw. Meanwhile, reprints of 30s and 40s crime classics are continuing to sell well and HarperCollins has just commissioned writer and theatre-maker Stella Duffy to complete an unfinished novel by New Zealand crime writer Ngaio Marsh, set during the second world war.
Chatshow host Graham Norton's debut crime novel, Holding, comes out in October.
So why does crime's golden era continue to exert such a pull? Hannah says it's largely down to our desire to be entertained.
"I think the resurgence in the popularity of golden age crime fiction is partly down to the fact that we do, at some level, like to have that satisfaction of having a story told to us in a very overtly story-like way," she says. "Inherent in golden age crime writing is the message: 'This is a great story and you will have fun reading it'."
It also helps that Christie was a genius, she says. "She really, really put the story above everything else … you're so gripped by the mystery that you never guess what's coming and are always pleasantly shocked by the ending."
Bagshawe, whose new series about amateur sleuth and portrait painter Iris Grey was inspired by Christie, agrees. "I came up with the idea for this series because a whole bunch of publishers were asking me to write a sexy psychological thriller and I practically passed out with boredom," she says. "Soon after that I re-read Agatha Christie's Miss Marple short stories and was really struck by how beautifully drawn the character is. It's a wonderful character study of a woman who is constantly underestimated because of her age and her gender."
She was keen to differentiate her heroine from all the troubled "Girls" dominating crime fiction. "I really wanted to write a series about a woman who was in her 40s, who didn't have an addiction or an unhappy marriage or a messy life, who wasn't unreliable. She's just a woman in her 40s who's good at noticing things. That's her tic."
David Brawn, estates publisher at HarperCollins, says that the resurgence of interest in the golden age is largely driven by practical concerns. "One of the main reasons behind the sudden popularity of crime from this period is that modern publishing and new technology allows for shorter runs in printing, which means that we can now mine backlists that would previously have been unprofitable," he says. "We've had a lot of success with the Detective Story Club imprint, which tries to bring some of the best less well-known writers of the Christie era to public attention."

There's also a growing appetite at publishing houses for books by modern authors who can put their own spin on the golden age genre.
Alexandra Pringle, editor-in-chief at Bloomsbury, says that it bought Sykes's series – which follows two undergraduates, one British and one a more worldly American, as they solve crimes in 1980s Oxford – because "it felt as if Dorothy Parker or Nancy Mitford were to try their hand at an Agatha Christie … subversive, wickedly funny and modern".
Sykes herself says she's a huge Christie fan who wanted "to take what I know I can do, which is high-society comedy and romance, and then add mystery to the mix".
That said, Brawn warns that Christie's deceptively simple style is not easy to get right. "There are definite challenges for modern authors. These days, crime writers rely a lot on police procedurals and technology, and to write a good golden age novel you really have to unlearn those things and embrace the disciplines of the golden age, which really centre around plot and character."
The real appeal with Christie is that not only are they really good stories but there's a lot going on under the surface, he says. "They're sometimes unfairly dismissed as being a bit safe compared with today's crime thrillers, but in reality there's a lot of darkness there."
James Prichard, Christie's great grandson and the chairman of Agatha Christie Ltd, agrees. "There's a terrible tendency to see golden age crime as cosy crime, but I think it's pretty evident that my great-grandmother found murder a serious and horrific business," he says. "The reason that these books have lasted and that so many people still read or try to emulate them today is because the plots stand up. People enjoy the puzzle elements in them and they like the fact that you might feel a little uncomfortable, but never so uncomfortable that you can't go on."


The school is over, and here goes the (almost) adult life! Greatpaper.co.uk prepared 10 recommendations for first-year students that will help them adapt to a new place and make their student life not only unforgettable, but productive.
Can't you find the room? Don't you know where to buy monthly tickets? Can't you understand a single thing in docs and stipendiums? Believe, you are not the only one feeling like that, and there are tens of people around who can help. Many universities even provide newbies with a supervisor: the more experienced student who is to show and tell everything. Do not be afraid to look silly with the questions like "where is a dining room?". It is normal not to know that while visiting the university for the first time.
Dancing team, student TV, choir, even cheerleading crew. Nobody knows where you are going to find yourself. University opens many possibilities you could not even dream about at school.
Try and Risk: what if this is Going to Change Your Life?
Take everything you can from those possibilities: contests, festivals, international exchange courses. Take them all until there is no a load of work days on your shoulders.
You are going to learn how to plan your time in order to prevent yourself from following the lecturers during the exam session. It won't be pleasant to get fired of a theatrical team, volleyball crew and choir, because you just couldn't cut yourself into pieces. Time management is all yours now!
At school, everyone loved to sit on the back desks silently. At the university, you better avoid acting the same way. Be active on seminars, so the teacher remembered you, and receive the chance to get the excellent exam grade automatically.
Meet up with people, especially with your groupmates and elder students. You are going to communicate with mates for the next three years, and elders can tell you everything about lecturers, share notes and exam questions. It is useful to know university workers and activists as well.
Nobody died because of university exams yet, believe that. Yes, there will be more of them than you used to have at school, and they'll happen to you twice a year, but that's not as scary as it seems. If to make notes, get into the learning process and prepare in advance, then you should not have to study that all during nights before the exam. Many groups practice team preparations: questions are shared between students, and it becomes easier to write answers.
Things are simple here: losing a stipendium because you decided this subject to be less important is silly and insulting. If you don't want to panic at the end of the year, you better visit gym and pool regularly.
Plus, this is a great way to remain shaped, as the university PT is not the same as the school one, and is about free training or fitness in most cases.
Your entry exam points mean NOTHING here. And your studying is only YOUR problem now. Nobody will call your parents to a headmaster, but you can easily get more serious troubles. It's a pity, but they don't give out independence near the university entry.
If you got cold and missed a day, they won't expel you. If you don't bring ten textbooks with you, they won't expel you as well. You can go on studying even if you got late to the lecture. Try finding common language with lecturers, and everything is going to be great.
Do not do that despite the previous point. Yes, student life is great, but you should not forget to visit classes regularly. You are there to do that, aren't you?
Student Years are the Best!
Just believe our words! School years passed too fast, and student ones can't be held back at all.

Actual exchanges between Pilots and Control Towers:
Tower: "TWA 2341, for noise reduction turn right 45 Degrees."
TWA 2341: "Center, we are at 35,000 feet. How much noise can we make up here?"
Tower: "Sir, have you ever heard the noise a 747 makes when it hits a 727?"
From an unknown aircraft waiting in a very long takeoff queue: "I'm f-ing bored!"
Ground Traffic Control: "Last aircraft transmitting, identify yourself immediately!"
Unknown aircraft: "I said I was f-ing bored, not f-ing stupid!"
O'Hare Approach Control to a 747: "United 329 heavy, your traffic is a Fokker, one o'clock, three miles, Eastbound."
United 329: "Approach, I've always wanted to say this…I've got the little Fokker in sight."
A DC-10 had come in a little hot and thus had an exceedingly long rollout after touching down.
San Jose Tower noted: "American 751, make a hard right turn at the end of the runway, if you are able.
If you are not able, take the Guadelupe exit off Highway 101, make a right at the lights and return to the airport."
A Pan Am 727 flight, waiting for start clearance in Munich, overheard the following:
Lufthansa (in German): "Ground, what is our start clearance time?"
Ground (in English): "If you want an answer you must speak in English."
Lufthansa (in English): "I am a German, flying a German airplane, in Germany. Why must I speak English?"
Unknown voice from another plane (in a beautiful British accent): "Because you lost the bloody war!"
Tower: "Eastern 702, cleared for takeoff, contact Departure on frequency 124.7"
Eastern 702: "Tower, Eastern 702 switching to Departure. By the way, after we lifted off we saw some kind of dead animal on the far end of the runway."
Tower: "Continental 635, cleared for takeoff behind Eastern 702, contact Departure on frequency 124.7. Did you copy that report from Eastern 702?"
BR Continental 635: "Continental 635, cleared for takeoff, roger; and yes, we copied Eastern… we've already notified our caterers."
**************************************************************************************************
The German air controllers at Frankfurt Airport are renowned as a short-tempered lot. They not only expect one to know one's gate parking location, but how to get there without any assistance from them. So it was with some amusement that we (a Pan Am 747) listened to the following exchange between Frankfurt ground control and a British Airways 747, call sign Speedbird 206.
Speedbird 206: "Frankfurt, Speedbird 206 clear of active runway."
Ground: "Speedbird 206. Taxi to gate Alpha One-Seven."
The BA 747 pulled onto the main taxiway and slowed to a stop.
Ground: "Speedbird, do you not know where you are going?"
Speedbird 206: "Stand by, Ground, I'm looking up our gate location now."
Ground (with quite arrogant impatience): "Speedbird 206, have you not been to Frankfurt before?"
Speedbird 206 (coolly): "Yes, twice in 1944, but it was dark, — And I didn't land."
While taxiing at London's Gatwick Airport, the crew of a US Air flight departing for Ft. Lauderdale made a wrong turn and came nose to nose with a United 727. An irate female ground controller lashed out at the US Air crew, screaming: "US Air 2771, where the hell are you going? I told you to turn right onto Charlie taxiway! You turned right on Delta! Stop right there. I know it's difficult for you to tell the difference between C and D, but get it right!" Continuing her rage to the embarrassed crew, she was now shouting hysterically: "God! Now you've screwed everything up! It'll take forever to sort this out! You stay right there and don't move till I tell you to! You can expect progressive taxi instructions in about half an hour, and I want you to go exactly where I tell you, when I tell you, and how I tell you! You got that, US Air 2771?"
"Yes, ma'am," the humbled crew responded. Naturally, the ground control communications frequency fell terribly silent after the verbal bashing of US Air 2771. Nobody wanted to chance engaging the irate ground controller in her current state of mind. Tension in every cockpit out around Gatwick was definitely running high. Just then an unknown pilot broke the silence and keyed his microphone, asking: "Wasn't I married to you once?"
Blondes:
An organization is like a tree full of monkeys, all on different limbs at different levels. The monkeys on top look down and see a tree full of smiling faces. The monkeys on the bottom look up and see nothing but assholes.
Once upon a time a blonde was swimming in the river. A man went up to her and asked, "Why are you doing this? The blonde said, "I'm washing my clothes. Is there a problem?" The man said, "Why don't you try a washing machine? The blonde replied, "I feel dizzy in the washing machine!"
A blonde is watching the news with her husband when the newscaster says, "Six Brazilian men die in a skydiving accident." The blonde starts crying to her husband, sobbing, "That's horrible!" Confused, he replies, "Yes Dear, it is sad, but they were skydiving, and there is always that risk involved." After a few minutes, the blonde, still sobbing, says, "How many is a Brazilian?"
Two rednecks were walking along when they saw a dog licking its balls. The first redneck said, "I wish I could do that." The other redneck said, "You dumbass, he would bite you."
Politicians and diapers have one thing in common: they should both be changed regularly… and for the same reason.

Update: Reid:deal reached on expanding homebuyer tax credit–UE vote within 24 hours; Unemployment Extension Update: Reid now trying to put homebuyer tax credit back in UE bill?? Senate to proceed to UE bill @930am EST; Bill passes cloture 87-13
Update 5: 11/2 newer new thread following UE vote here
Update 4: New thread following UE vote here
Update 3: 430pm EST: Breaking on CNBC- Diana Olick says Harry Reid's office confirms a deal has been reached on the homebuyers tax credit, It WILL BE EXPANDED AND EXTENDED to include more than 1st time buyers, and IT WILL BE ATTACHED TO THE UE EXTENSION BILL
Reid says he expects a vote on said UE bill WITHIN 24 HOURS.
More as it becomes available…
(Diana Olick's RealtyCheckBlog, earlier compromise report with details, details moved to Housing Update post.)
Update 2: 10/28: 2:18pm EST: Okay, it appears as though Reid is trying to put the stoopid homebuyer tax credit, (that has all the arguments and associated delays attached to it), BACK into the UE EXTENSION BILL!! ARRRGLE!!
This will delay the UE vote!! The Dems are playing chicken trying to get the homebuyer credit passed WITH the UE, and the GOP is now back to trying to add EVerify because apparently legal immigration/citizenship status is NOT CURRENTLY CHECKED IN UE BENEFITS. Fabulous!
this totally sucks. For the record MiM is at the beginning of our UE bennies so we are not personally impacted by this delay (yet!) but MILLIONS OF AMERICANS ARE. WHAT IS THE PROBLEM WITH THESE BUFFOONS?!?!?
Is anyone else starting to wonder if this is frakkin deliberate? I mean the extension will result in the numbers of those collecting UE going up in the DOL reporting that the media cover (the REAL number of those unemployed, including those who have fallen off benefits is RARELY mentioned in the papers and MSM). And it had occurred to me months ago that Team TOTUS was sort of screwed either way, if they extend UE it adds to the bad numbers reported every month in the headlines, but if they do not extend it the electorate will be even more pixxed in the elections.
I mean what was the point of the entire exercise in removing the homebuyers credit from the UE bill yesterday if they were going to add it back in today? It is a pixxing contest on the Hill while real people suffer IMO.
Once they pass this thing with then homebuyers add on it will go to the House where THEY will debate it because they have NOT passed a homebuyer tax credit in the House. Whereas the UE stand alone HAS been voted on in the House previously so little to no debate would be required to get the Senate version okayed by the House and to the desk of TOTUS for signing.
Their apparent decision to dxck around and play Let's Make a Deal with holidays approaching and people in serious trouble is totally unacceptable. Please ask everyone you know to VOTE in every election, these Critters need to understand that regular Americans will respond to their actions in the only way that impacts them, by voting.
And CALL YOUR CRITTERS IN THE SENATE and remind them millions of Americans ARE WAITING FOR THIS UE EXTENSION VOTE!
Reid to BloombergNews TODAY:
A proposal to extend the $8,000 tax credit for first-time homebuyers as part of an unemployment- benefits measure has significant support, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said."There's general agreement by a significant number of senators, Democrats and Republicans" for adding the tax credit to the measure extending unemployment benefits, Reid said today. The measure is being held up by Republican demands for votes on unrelated amendments, the Nevada Democrat said.
"Let's get this done and we'll move on," Reid said.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, a Kentucky Republican, called the dispute an "unnecessary impasse." Most lawmakers support the unemployment measure as well as the homebuyers' credit, he said.
"We're not that far away from an agreement that would allow us to expedite consideration of the bill," McConnell said. "It is routine for there to be amendments offered by both sides that are not directly related to the bill."
Lawmakers are considering a $2.4 billion measure that would extend unemployment benefits by 14 weeks in all states and provide another six weeks of benefits in states with the highest unemployment rates.
A number of lawmakers have been pushing to attach an extension of the homebuyer tax credit beyond its Nov. 30 expiration date. Reid said lawmakers also agree on another proposed amendment providing a tax break to money-losing companies….

Update: 10/28:
The Senate convenes at 9:30 a.m. ET and will resume the motion to proceed to H.R.3548, Unemployment Benefits Extension Act of 2009, post-cloture…
Okay it passed cloture 🙂 now we need the final vote.
MarketWatch:
The Senate moved closer Tuesday to approving an extension of unemployment benefits by an extra 20 weeks. The Senate agreed on an 87-13 vote to bring the measure to a final vote.
ProgressIllinois indicates the Final Vote has not been scheduled:
..If it survives this procedural hurdle — which effectively limits debate on the measure — the full chamber will still have to vote on the final bill. (When that vote will take place is unclear at the moment.) Then that version must be reconciled with the less-generous House proposal and approved one final time…
BREAKING UPDATE:
BREAKING NEWS: SENATE TO DELAY TAX VOTE, UNEMPLOYMENT MEASURE WILL STAND ALONE
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nevada) announced this afternoon, Tuesday October 27 that an extension of the $8,000 first-time homebuyer credit and more generous net operating loss carry-back rules for money-losing businesses will not be brought to the Senate floor for a vote. The unemployment insurance extension is still on the calendar and will be brought up as a stand-alone measure. HAI will provide updates as more information is released from Capitol Hill.
Update: Status update courtesy of WashingtonIndependent:
(…) The Senate is set to vote tomorrow to begin consideration of the proposal — a procedural move requiring 60 votes to pass. But that's just be the start of the process. Without an agreement over the amendments, Democratic leaders will have to stage a second cloture vote in order to move to a final vote on the bill. The series of procedural steps could easily push that final vote to the end of the week…
Finally. One phrase for the Senate – LETS GO ALL THE WAY!
TheIndependent:
Just in from the office of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.): the upper chamber will hold a procedural vote next Tuesday afternoon to proceed to legislation extending unemployment insurance (UI) nationwide.
The cloture vote is indication that Reid and GOP leaders failed to reach an agreement on amendments to the bill, which would extend UI benefits by 14 weeks in all states, and an additional six weeks in states where unemployment rates top 8.5 percent.
Party leaders have been haggling for weeks over amendments, with GOP leaders urging votes on provisions addressing their concerns over immigration and ACORN, among other issues. Republicans also wanted to fund the UI extension with unspent stimulus money instead of extending a business tax that's slated to expire, as Democrats have proposed….

This is no one's but the Senate's hang up and fault. Obama voted "YES" on this months ago, but now they must vote.
I've been without income for 4 weeks. All unemployment and extensions gone. Had to move my family, in with family. No place else to live and America is not charitable when you can't pay the rent.
I will "Never" forget these days or those in Senate holding this up. I maybe unemployed, but I'm still a registered voter. I'll remember this well come reelection time.
As far as I'm concerned it's time for new faces, new blood and a Senate that can multi task on more than one issue and settle them before they adjourn to there "life in a bubble".
This is REAL, and the "Feed them Cake" philosophy isn't working in this Century.
ginaswo replied:
it appears that Reid was waiting for a yes from Obama on the homebuyers credit but the Admin is holding off on that, so Reid stripped it out of the bill just today, but the GOP has been blocking the bill on funding and other amendments
I am glad they got theri crxp together both sides, but it isnt passed yet, one more Senate vote and then then the merged bill to go…

the senate needs 2 stop playing with ppl lives. u might have a job 2day and 2morrow u can b unemployed. we're d same ppl who will vote on who takes ur seat including u Mr. Obama.

There may be a steep mountain to climb before reaping the benefits, especially when it comes to the workforce. But the view is well worth the climb.
It occupies one tenth of the world's surface. It spans 11 time zones and borders 14 different countries. Russia is the largest multi-national country on Earth.
As the second largest oil exporter after Saudi Arabia, Russia is a hive for supermajors like Rosneft, Lukoil and Gazprom. And it doesn't stop there. Being one of the largest producers of crude oil, and home to the world's largest natural gas reserves, the state holds gargantuan opportunity for the oil and gas sector. These opportunities also mean that many international oil and gas players open subsidiaries in the country. However, there may be a steep mountain to climb before reaping the benefits, especially when it comes to the workforce. But the view is well worth the climb.
You would be forgiven for assuming that setting up a subsidiary is where these challenges begin, however it's not as complex as one may think. Registering a branch office in Russia tends to take a minimum of eight weeks to complete, and it can be a 100 per cent foreign owned entity. This means it can invoice local customers, sign local sales contracts and receive income from local customers without any problems. The challenges lie deeper than this.
One of these challenges is Russia's strict data protection laws. Similar to the EU's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), Russia's equivalent is known to be just as complex and just as stringent. In many cases, international companies must fulfill the requirements of both the GDPR and local laws, even though in some instances they may contradict each other. In addition, these strict laws require all data to be kept on Russian servers, making it even more difficult for international companies. These may seem like tricky steps to navigate, however with the right experience in implementing these data procedures, and a proactive approach to ensuring the right systems and processes are in place, the peak may be closer than you think.
The challenge the recruitment industry faced is the contracted workforce ban. The new law was introduced in 2016 to rectify the lack of specific outsourcing regulation in Russia and has made it complicated to use a contracted workforce. In fact, contracted work is prohibited, but personnel provision as a service has obtained its legal form, and is still subject to certain legislative conditions and exceptions.
Оne of these exceptions is to employ personnel through private employment agencies. This is essentially a Russian legal entity that has passed a special accreditation for the right to perform personnel provision. It is crucial to ensure the agency has relevant expertise in recruitment and HR processes, in order to guarantee that personnel arrive safely and compliantly on-site when needed.
Regardless of contracting issues, attracting the right talent can be tricky. On the whole, a large part of setting up a Russian entity is hiring the right talent. And with some parts of the industry such as LNG experiencing a skill shortage – this can prove a challenge. For example, one of the world's largest and most intricate LNG plants is located in Yamal. As it's the only LNG project in the Arctic Circle, it's rare to find people who firstly, have the right experience for these conditions, but also who would chose to work in them. With the temperature dropping to an inhospitable -30°C, many candidates opt to take comparable roles in warmer climes.
However, the opportunities that Russia holds are only going to make that climb to the top more attractive. The country is currently planning to raise its annual production of seaborne LNG to as much as 120 million tonnes by 2035. Due to advancements in technology, a resurging oil price and as other fields around the world become older, more Russian fields in extreme conditions may become more desirable and realistic to develop.
There is an assumption that some of this skill shortage stems from complex migration policies – however this is not the case. Russia's policies are actually quite lenient compared with many other countries. This obviously depends on the individual and the reason for migration, but on the whole the process is easy to complete, especially if it's for a highly qualified specialist (HQS). However, at any stage of the process, if a deadline is not met it can often lead to the application being failed.
As such, careful management of the process is vital. This process can be designed specifically to trigger alerts which inform the applicant on deadlines. This helps to guarantee important deadlines are not missed. Specialized processes and the right experience to implement them will allow operators to save costs while ensuring compliant immigration services.
Russia may well have its challenges, especially when setting up a local business. But it is worth every application passed and time spent, as the country is booming with opportunities. As discussed, there are many important and complex parts to this process, which if completed compliantly, will help contribute to a smooth and successful journey. The trick lies in using an integrated approach where all functions are under one roof, simplifying the process while keeping risks and costs down. With the correct team, experience, global reach and track record – the 360° view will be well worth the climb.

Biografia
Si è laureato nel 1969 discutendo una tesi di Storia del Cristianesimo presso la Facoltà di Lettere e Filosofia dell'Università degli studi di Torino. Nello stesso anno è diventato borsista presso il C.N.R. di Storia delle religioni.

Dopo una parentesi come ricercatore nella medesima materia, nel 1975 è stato nominato professore incaricato di Storia delle religioni presso l'Università di Torino, nel 1983 professore associato e nel 1990 professore straordinario di Storia del Cristianesimo presso l'Università dell'Aquila.

Dal 1993 è professore ordinario di Storia del Cristianesimo presso la Facoltà di Lettere dell'Università di Torino, e dal 2000 è presidente del Centro di Scienze delle religioni presso la medesima università.

Nel 2000 è stato Direttore di ricerca invitato presso l'École Pratique des Hautes Études di Parigi nella "Section des sciences religieuses".

Dirige, per le case editrici Laterza e Dell'Orso, tre collane di scienze religiose.

Contributi
Giovanni Filoramo ha essenzialmente affrontato il tema del cristianesimo antico, focalizzandosi sugli aspetti marginali e meno conosciuti della nascente religione cristiana, in particolare lo gnosticismo, indagando anche i fenomeni visionari, estatici e profetici come strumento di rivelazione e di relazione tra le istituzioni cristiane e i movimenti ereticali.

Oggetto dei suoi studi è stato anche il primo monachesimo cristiano e l'ambito storiografico delle religioni. Ha infine promosso una serie di iniziative editoriali relative agli studi storico-religiosi.

Having a hard time finding the # 10's, 12's & 14's. Contacted Mustad and no response back. Anyone know where I can find these online or a dealer who sells these sizes? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Tks.
As far as I can tell they only make it in 1,2,4,10 at least those were the only sizes on the Mustad page.
Not trying to start a big argument, but why are you looking for them? The "swedish" style hooks are known killers and make it much more difficult to get a good release on pike. They frequently catch pike either in the gullet or tear out gill rakers.
You are much better off with a quick-strike rig or even a single treble. When I fish dead bait I use a single large treble hooked right behind the smelts head. I have a much better hook up ratio, and the pike are nearly always hooked in the lip rather than the gullet. When you get a flag you set the hook immediately.
I've used and my family has used these hooks for many, many years w/ either smelt or houlagans. FYI- I've released many northern after being caught w/ a swedish hook. The catch is knowing how and when to set the hook and how to properly remove the hooks. Last year I was able to release a nice 11lb & 13lb northern that I caught in the spring that were both caught on one of these #10 "killer" hooks with no problem. Both were hooked in their lip. I don't know that I agree w/ the whole pike killer theory but to each his own.
We primarily use them when we tip-up fish in Michigan in certain lakes and also when we fish w/ dead bait up in northern MN each spring fishing on shore or off of docks.
Drop me a email, I can probably set you up with some.
I was on hsolist and did a search on Mustad & Circle Hooks and found quite a few up for auction...not sure what price you were looking at though. I can't post links here either, can I? DOH!!
Scott, at the same time we must remember that a treble hook is illegal unless on a lure.
A treble is not illegal in WI (my home state) or in MI. My rigs would actually be legal in MN too, as they have a spinner blade on them.
The WI DNR did a study in 1994 on swedish hooks and even proposed banning them. Unfortunately they did not. Here is the study abstract and author details, etc.
DuBois, R.B., Margenau, T.L., Stewart, R.S., Cunningham, P.K., andP.W. Pasmussen. 1994. Hooking mortality of northern pike angled through the ice. North American Journal of Fish Management 14:769-775.
Abstract.—Short-term (48-h) hooking mortality was examined for 185 northern pike Esox lucius angled through ice on baited still lines from three Wisconsin lakes. Mortality from capture with size-4 treble hooks baited with live fish was negligible (< 1%); however, mortality associated with pike hooks (also known as Swedish hooks) baited with rainbow smelt Osmerus mordax was substantial (33%). Additionally, mortality was greater for deeply hooked fish, and for fish exposed to short handling times. Pike hooks were associated with a higher percentage of deeply hooked fish than were treble hooks, but hooking location alone did not fully explain the difference in mortality between hook types. Of fish that bled at capture, 84% survived. The length of time that northern pike were allowed to run with the bait plus the time associated with hooking and landing the fish was unrelated to either mortality or hooking location. The use of pike hooks may not be compatible with management of northern pike fisheries if minimum size limits or catch-and-release regulations are used to attain management objectives.


net income for the period was only $226 million.
the company spent almost $109 million on expansion.
Must be a fluke right? Basic accounting tells us that you can not earn $226 million, spend $109 million on new stores and end up with $375 million more cash in the bank. The table, however, shows that if it is a fluke, it has been going on for a while. For the 12 months ending with the 2nd quarter of 2004, the company accumulated a total of $1.118 billion in new cash after spending $692 million on expansion, recording only $780 million in net income. With Charlie Munger on the board, one is left to wonder if this is an exercise in Munger Accounting, which is similar to GAAP, but takes a consistently more pessimistic view of the future.
During the 12 month period there was a small increase in long term debt, but that increase was more than offset by a $59 million reduction in short-term debt and $95 million purchase of minority interests. Exactly where the cash is coming from is hard to understand from the 10Q, but some is coming from an increase in membership income ($55 million), some from increase in inventories ($26 million), and also maybe as much as $200 million from an increase in cash reserved for workman compensation claims. There has also been an accounting change that has the effect of switching rebates due to customers, from accounts receivable to cash.
While a good share of this increase may be nonrecurring, it is still highly unusual to see a retail operation that is building stores aggressively and growing revenue by 18% per year that still able to pile up excess cash. It is more typical to see a retailer at this stage still piling on debt and building stores as fast as they can.
Wall Street is getting bored with Costco because their earnings are not growing fast enough, and now the popular view is that Costco is too good to its customers and employees and is not paying enough attention to its shareholders. But flat earnings can be the result of a bad economy or they can be the intentional result a conscious effort to dig a deeper moat. Warren Buffett likes to talk about durable competitive advantage. From the 1998 chairman's letter we have the following quote.
"GEICO's growth would mean nothing if it did not produce reasonable underwriting profits. Here, too, the news is good: last year we hit our underwriting targets and then some. Our goal, however, is not to widen our profit margin but rather to enlarge the price advantage we offer customers. Given that strategy, we believe that 1997's growth will easily top that of last year."
It is interesting to read this quote in terms of Costco's apparent current strategy. Perhaps their goal in keeping their margins low is to enlarge the price advantage they offer customer. Do they do this because they are only interested in the customer or because they want to build a durable competitive advantage over Sam's and BJ's? Costco and Sam's have been locked in a price tussle, and Jim Sinegal says that Costco will not be undersold. Costco wants the customer to know when he walks in their store, that the price he sees at Costco is the best price he is going to see. This is their moat, and if they have to suffer a few flat quarters to build that moat, then they are willing to do so.
Costco ability to build their balance sheet strength in the midst of a price war with Sam's may be a good indication of the moat that they already have in place. A look at BJ's results for the year ending January 31, 2004 show they increased their cash by $46 million while their debt increased by $90 million. While BJ's does not have much debt, it leases a much higher percentage of its stores than does Costco. At the end of its 2003 year, Costco leased 85 out 397 stores or 21 % of its stores, whereas, BJ's leases 92 of 150 stores or 61% of it's stores. Lease obligations at BJ's amounted to $1.7 billion compared to $1.4 billion at Costco, whose revenue is almost 7 times larger than BJ'sThe impact of Costco and Sam's price war would appear to much greater on BJ's than either Sam's or Costco. In the 12 months ending January 31 2004 BJ's net fell from $130 million to $102 million or by 21%. During a similar period (12 months ending 2/15/04) Costco's net increased from $834 million to $925 million.
Keep in mind that in early 2003 BJ's price fell to the point that its total market value was only a little over $600 million, so if the market weakens again and Costco keeps up the price pressure it BJ's could be easy shark bait for Senegal. We, of course, have no idea if Costco would have any interest in an acquisition, but when you are in a three-horse race and you can shoot one of the other two horses, it does tend to smack of moat building. Of course we do not know how the FTC would feel, and it might be cheaper to get rid of horse number three by just continuing to cut prices. Also, I have no idea if the combination would make business sense, but Costco does have all that cash, so it does stir the curiosity a little.
Indeed the most intriguing question raised by Costco's ability to build its cash is what they will do with it. Clearly they could build stores a lot faster than they are presently, a strategy that would likely to be more popular on Wall Street, and garner a shot at a higher PE ratio. But currently they seem content with their pace of building about 25 stores a year. A third alternative for any excess cash, and my personal preference, would be a share repurchase program. This would allow per share earnings to grow faster than the bottom line.
Besides BJ's the only other player is Wal-Mart with Sam's Club. Wal-Mart is bigger and they have more resources than Costco, but they also have $24 billion in debt and capitalized leases, so while their sales are about 6 times that of Costco, their debt is 20 times that of Costco. Wal-Mart also has some tough decisions to make. The Super Center business brings about 3.5% to the bottom line, whereas the warehouse clubs are lucky to get 1.5% to 2.0%. So is Wal-Mart going spend a lot of their capital building Sam's Clubs when they can get a better return from Super Centers? Especially if they think Sam's Clubs are cannibalizing their Super Center business?
Costco has not been a great investment for the last three years, and it is starting to lose some of its following on Wall Street. I probably would not be buying at today's prices, but the value is getting better even with price moving sideways. And if the bear returns, we might see prices that would provides a nice margin of safety.


Adverb2 by AudioDamage is a great option.
Envelope by DDMF is another option.
In fact pretty much any reverb, anybody who fantasizes over reverb quality is either a 'synth odyssey pad washer" or a newb engineer who thinks you need a good reverb for it to sit in the mix, most of the top engineers use whatever is in front of them, unless they are being paid to say something different.
Most 'top engineers' have really good reverbs in front of them. To suggest that all verbs are like for like is ridiculous.
iVCS3 has a decent spring reverb.
I use Eos2 for verb most of the time.
Eos 2 is a good price. I'm gonna check it out!!
I discovered 4Pockets Shimmer today thanks to the folks in the Discord chat. Audio Damage as great options too.
I just wish for....ALTIVERB style convolution eventually.
Yeah, Shimmer by 4pockets is awesome.
We've been singing it's praises over on our Discord chat since it released the other day.
Is Shimmer like the Strymon Big Sky or am I dreaming lol?
No its software not hardware, it has many differences, so dont buy it if you expect it to look/sound/behave like any hardware.

Neuherberg ist ein Gemeindeteil der Gemeinde Pfofeld im Landkreis Weißenburg-Gunzenhausen (Mittelfranken, Bayern).

Lage
Der Weiler liegt auf einer Höhe von  westlich des Kleinen Brombachsees und knapp nördlich der Einmündung des Altmühlüberleiters in den Kleinen Brombachsee. Die nächstgelegene Stadt ist das rund sieben Kilometer entfernte Gunzenhausen. Östlich führt die Kreisstraße WUG 1 vorbei, von der eine Straße nach Neuherberg und zum direkt angrenzenden Pfofelder Gemeindeteil Hühnermühle abzweigt.

Ein weiterer gleichnamiger Ort im Landkreis Weißenburg-Gunzenhausen ist Neuherberg, ein Gemeindeteil der Gemeinde Langenaltheim.

Ortsnamendeutung
Der Ortsname wird gedeutet als "Zur neuen Herberge (als Haus zum Übernachten für Fremde)".

Geschichte
Die Erstnennung ist fraglich: 1214 wird in einem Pappenheimer Urbar eine "tauern" (=Einkehrstätte)  "bi dem wiaer" erwähnt, also "bei dem Weiher" (gemeint könnte der "Hüner Weyer" der Hühnermühle aus einer Urkunde von 1398 sein). Die Inhaber waren Eigenleute des Marschalls von Pappenheim. Die nächste Nennung stammt erst wieder aus dem frühen 16. Jahrhundert: Anna von Lentersheim hat beim "wirt zu der neüen herberg" eine gewisse Summe Geldes ausgegeben. Das Wirtshaus war also neu erbaut worden, entweder erstmals oder anstelle eines alten Wirtshauses. Die Benennung als "neue Herberge" hält sich von da ab in Schreibvarianten. Beispielsweise wird die "wirttschafft" 1585 bei einem Wiesenverkauf  "Neuenherberg" genannt. Für 1608 erfährt man, dass die Herren von Absberg das Wirtshaus besaßen und das Anwesen ihnen vogt- und gültbar war, während die Fraisch  dem markgräflich-ansbachischen Amt Gunzenhausen oblag. Nach dem Aussterben der Absberger war der Besitz dem Deutschordensamt Absberg zinspflichtig. Wohl infolge des Dreißigjährigen Krieges lag die Neuherberg benachbarte Hühnermühle noch gegen Ende des 17. Jahrhunderts öde. Als solche kaufte sie 1693 der Neuherberg-Wirt Hans Schmidt dem Deutschen Orden in Ellingen ab. Für 1732 erfährt man, dass der Wirt den Zehnt in die Pfarrei Absberg zu geben hat, dass die Vogtei inner Ettern vom Deutschen Orden in Ellingen wahrgenommen wird, während die Vogtei außer Ettern und die hohe Fraisch weiterhin markgräflicher Besitz sind und vom Oberamt Gunzenhausen wahrgenommen werden. 1750 betreibt ein Leonhard Schnitzlein die Neuherberg. 1792 wird Neuherberg mit dem Markgrafentum Ansbach preußisch.

Am Ende des Heiligen Römischen Reichs geht der Weiler mit dem ehemaligen Fürstentum Ansbach infolge des Reichsdeputationshauptschlusses 1806 an das neue Königreich Bayern über, wo er im Landgericht/Rentamt Gunzenhausen ab 1808 dem Steuerdistrikt Absberg, ab 1811 der Ruralgemeinde Absberg und ab 1818 der Ruralgemeinde Thannhausen zugehörig ist.

Im Zuge der Gebietsreform in Bayern wurde die Gemeinde Thannhausen am 1. Mai 1978 aufgelöst. Der Weiler Neuherberg kam zu Pfofeld.
