How long of a period do I need to backtest?
The backtesting period should be relevant in proportion to the average holding period of the trades. From a statistical standpoint, as the number of periods increases the confidence in the measurement increases (but at a diminishing rate). As a simple rule of thumb, we would not consider a strategy with less than 20 samples. So for an average holding period of one year, we would not consider strategies with less than a couple decades of samples. If you have multiple strategies with low trade counts but that share a common factor but are otherwise sufficiently independent, that could allow you to consider them together.
Having recent backtesting is also very important, as the market changes over time and recent measurements have more predictive value than long ago measurements. We have research on autocorrelation of returns that demonstrates this empirically. Using recent data has to be balanced against the competing goal of keeping some recent data hidden from the model (out of sample) so you can reduce overfitting (a.k.a. curve fitting) and measure the true goal of how the model performs into the future (or out of sample period), rather than making a perfect model of the past and a poor model of the future.
Having a period with a variety of market conditions is also valuable if you are trying to design a strategy that works in all market/economic cycles. Economic research suggests a variety of business cycle lengths, including between 7-11 years, so depending on holding periods, you might want to cover at least one cycle and preferably multiple.
Finally, we would recommend backtesting against a variety of periods. If a strategy only produces good results for one specific time period and poor results otherwise, that is evidence that the strategy is too fragile and cannot handle a variety of possible future market conditions. So we by backtesting a variety of time periods, and comparing the results, and perhaps pick a model that has lower but more consistent performance across a variety of time periods, rather than a strategy with great performance but only for one period and poor performance in other periods.
How do you define best performing strategies?
There are multiple ways you could define "best" performance. Our preferred measure compares risk vs return is called the Sharpe Ratio, which was devised by Nobel Prize Winner William Sharpe. We prefer that measure over just return for example as we have found that the strategies with the highest return tend to be the strategies with the highest risk. So by choosing highest return you may be inadvertantly choosing strategies with highest risk. For our scanner, we modify the standard Sharpe Ratio by discounting it for strategies with a low number of trades (or samples). We build a confidence interval around the Sharpe Ratio and use a 95% confidence level of the lowest estimate.
The Sharpe Ratio we calculate is not the exact value but an estimate of the true value based on a finite number of samples. Essentially our confidence around our estimate increases as the number of samples increases. To compute the 95% confidence interval around the Sharpe Ratio, using the equation here. See equation (10) in this paper for more detail. As an example, if your average return per trade is 1.0% and your standard deviation is 1.0%, your estimated Sharpe Ratio is 1.0 based on 10 trades. The 95% confidence level of the worst case true value of the Sharpe Ratio would be: 1.0 - 1.96 * SQRT((1 + 0.5 * 1.0^2) / 10) = 0.24. In other words you have a 97.5% confidence that the true Sharpe Ratio is at least 0.24 based on a 10 sample estimate. (97.5% greater than x is equivalent to a 95% confidence between x and y).
Any good books you could recommend?
A good book on our shelf relevant to financial statistics is "Analysis of Financial Time Series" by Ruey Tsay . He is a PhD in Statistics who teaches at U of Chicago Booth business school. It is an academic textbook and probably designed to be read by mathematicians. The world of finance does not fit in a perfect mathematical box but it still provides some of the most powerful tools. We also like Quantpedia which writes concise summaries of academic papers in finance for an easier, faster read.

Friday stars Ice Cube and Chris Tucker as two young adults and best friends going about their daily lives. One Friday morning, Tucker's character Smokey gets into trouble with a local loan shark. Ice Cube's character, Craig, is unwillingly dragged into the mess, adding more complications to the character's current life situation. The two are told they have until that evening to pay the money Tucker owes or they'll both be killed. I had a great time watching this film due to its laid back vibe. It doesn't feel like the audience is watching a movie with a coherent narrative, but instead watching characters hang out and interact with one another. And I mean this in the best possible way. Part of Friday's enjoyment stems from the energetically funny cast, particularly the two leads. Smokey and Craig share an onscreen chemistry comparable to other hilarious duos such as Cheech and Chong or Wayne and Garth. They're not the film's only shining stars, however. The supporting cast which includes F. Gary Gray, John Witherspoon, Bernie Mac, Angela Means, and many more. Each actor gives their performance just the right amount of effort and pure fun to create very memorable characters that may not have a lot of screen time, but certainly leave a lasting impression. The amount of slapstick and lowbrow humor the writers use is also very refreshing and proves that humor can take many forms. This type of comedy is usually looked down upon as immature, but humor is humor. Immature or not, these jokes were funny. This movie made me laugh a lot and I recommend Friday to any lover of film and/or comedy.

"Friday" holds a special place in my heart. It came out when I was in high school and when Chris Tucker was the funniest human being alive to me. Eddie Murphy had left stand-up year prior which left a gaping hole in the stand-up game. Chris Tucker filled that void for me."Friday" isn't my favorite comedy but it is an oft-quoted comedy in my small circle. This was Ice Cube's coming out party in the movie industry as more than just an actor playing an L.A. hood (Boyz in the Hood). Friday is a cult classic and will always be fondly remembered.

I couldn't have asked for a better comedy movie. I laugh my [email protected]# off every time I watch it and I've seen it at least a 100 times!!! Chris Tucker was hilarious as usual, and Ice Cube did an excellent job compared to the rest of the rappers that don't really give much of a performance. They especially did an excellent job showing the everyday life of two guys hanging out in the black neighborhood. I can't think of another comedy like this one that compares. Once again, very VERY well done!!!

Just with the title of this movie's name mentioned. It conjures up scenes that made me laugh so hard. In a time of my life when things looked grim. I had just bought my first house for a really cheap price. And after a few months being there. I had invited my friends over to celebrate my good but broke new life. They brought over this movie tucked discreetly under one arm. It was in our minds that this was going to be the last movie for the night. Nobody could say for sure if this movie was going to be good or not. The cover looked cheesy and of poor quality. Ice cube we new well. But everything thing else was saying NO! Don't get bored!! Not Funny!!I too was doing Mary Jane as well at that time in my life. About two years. But had told my friends that I wanted a break. I had just a little (3 ounces) to cover any NEEDS (^_<). We watched Braveheart first. Another great movie to watch. But then came out Friday. This movie really captured a day in the life of me and my friends. The daily language used was right on. It also coined the phrase DAAAAMN!! for all of us. The comedic performances by Chris Tucker and Ice was sharp! Especially Chris. He really made his career with that movie. Because I have seen everyone one of his later films just to see a glimmer of "Smokey" in them. And he hasn't let me down yet! The way the movie flowed on the screen was flawless. Every character was well played and unforgettable. So this movie came at a great point in my life. I can still sit with my popcorn in one hand and laugh my Butt off. The "Next Friday" the sequel was good. And also had it's moments. But it is nothing without Smokey. Make another with him. Pleaseeee!By the way, after the movie we sang with the stars!
daniel figueroa
The basic idea of two guys sitting on their porch all day watching the neighborhood go by is good, but the actors need to be really talented to make it funny or interesting. Ice Cube plays the straight man to Chris Tucker but for me both of them weren't funny. At times they would just kind of sit there and look around and at each other with nothing to say. Blank stares. Ice Cube had his shining moment in Boyz in the Hood but let's face it, I'm about as good an actor as he is. Chris Tucker is mildly entertaining in a few scenes, but most of the time just annoying. Sometimes the characters sit around and have conversations that go nowhere and make absolutely no sense. Now, obviously I'm in the minority. Many people thought this was funny.I thought it could have been great, but only with a scriptwriter who knows how to write a funny line. But I didn't think Scary Movie was funny either so maybe, MAYBE, it's just me. It's obvious you have to be high to enjoy Friday. I'll try that next time.

………………………………………………..from Pasto,Colombia…Via: L.A. CA, CALI, Colombia & ORLANDO, FL I was feeling like a GOOD Comedy, (SO hard to come by nowadays, ne c'est pa?) I recalled a recent note from a Friend, touting Friday, saying that only ONE Friend had rated it below 6*. Clicked to check…Nine out of Ten = 10* Reviews and one 8* on PAGE One! Takes place in South Central L.A… Hey! I grew up in SOUTH CENTRAL!…WOW! Sounded like a 100% sure bet, Right? (Queue LOUD Buzzer Sounding) WRONG!!! Was REALLY disappointed…Here's WHY: Friday did not really offer up much in the way of anything fresh or original. In a DVD Extras' interview, the principals claimed that Friday would show a much more true-to-life, much less violent HOOD, unlike some other famous late 80's early 90's flicks. Hmmm……OK, let's see: One of the two main "Buddies", played by a then relatively unknown Chris Tucker, smokes weed, non-stop, 24/7, and is named "Smokey"! Oh! BTW, he also deals Marijuana! …WOW! We've NEVER seen THAT in an inner- city movie before, huh? Excuse me!?! Did they say "True to life…or True to Stereotype?" Well, how about the "much less violent" angle? Hmmm…Two machine-gun toting Gang-bangers spray their house with at least 100 rounds! Hey, just another typical day of peace and quiet in the HOOD, right! There are a number of other negative stereotypes presented as well.Two things I resent: First, why are these things OK if it's supposedly Black movie…or do I have to say "Afro-American"? Secondly, why are so many people afraid to bring it up, for fear of being labeled, "Racist"? I have African ancestors. They are 6 or 7 generations removed, so I'm pretty bleached out, but I must still have a couple African genes in my genetic profile. So, PLEASE, spare me the racist label, O.K.? Must admit though, HOOD did deliver at least a few good laughs! 5*…ENJOY/DISRUTELA!?!…(I Hope Much More Than I) Any comments, questions or observations, in English or Español, are most welcome!

Friday was a good comedy to come out in the midst of Menace II Society, Boyz N The Hood, New Jersey Drive, etc. Unlike the urban dramas out, this is a movie that shows that people in the ghettos do have fun – and this I do know from personal experiences in my life. A well-casted movie for one, Ice Cube shows that he can hold his own in a comedy which at the time I wasn't expecting that from him as he just came off of Tresspass and Higher Learning; Chris Tucker introduces himself to the silver screen and acts a total fool(which is a good thing, he's known for it anyway), plus Bernie Mac and Faizon Love contribute with their own comedic performances making the ride worth-while… F. Gary Gray successfully blends realistic situations and humor make this movie a classic comedy and a very fun ride…One of those movies that can easily cheer you up
sinikka oksanen vuorinen
The very first time I heard about this film was when I was spending some time with my grandmother when I was younger and she told me that she had got a new movie called Friday. I had nothing else to do, and neither did she so, we pulled out Friday and watched it. Even, though this film does have a lot of language that is pervasively strong spoken. It is still funny due to the fact on how they say it. Now, yes the language might be alittle too strong. But, mainly in my opinion the drug material was pretty unnecessary. And, last time I heard Chris Tucker who plays Smokey, (Craig's friend) refused to return in the two films because he did not want to play a drug dealer. Anyway, Ice Cube as he's called plays Craig who's out of job and has absolutely nothing to do. Except, smoke weed with Smokey, beat up a bratty little kid from knocking over trash cans overthrew, hiding his priced possessions from a thug named Deebo, and keep Smokey from smoking the weed he's supposed to be selling for a guy named "Big Worm", before they "both end up dead meat. Anyway, despite the fowl stuff this film is still pretty good and funny. I would recommend this film to any Comedy lovers out there. This film is a good one. I give it "7". But, before watching it pay attention to the rating. (R) And also why it's rated that.
lisa hill
Friday is the most classic, ghetto movie of all time. I grew up near that area in South Los Angeles and know a little about what it is like down there. The way people who live down there were portrayed in the movie was very accurate. Chris Tucker cracks me up in any movie he's in, and Ice Cube is just all-around talented. I make it a point to take this movie out and play it at least once a month. For those who haven't seen "Friday", you have to see it, but remember, make sure to watch all three Friday movies in order, as all the movies progress in order. "Friday" is beautifully directed and I think it will remain as the classic "ghetto" movie of all time. Two thumbs up, nigh.

This here is a film far more interesting and relevant than it knows itself to be.As a piece of comedy cinema on its own, it's alright. It's very simplistic, almost overly simplistic, where there are the good guys on one side and the bad guys on the other. As in any film, sure, but it's particularly emphasized here, almost in the fashion of a cartoon. Good guy does good and stands up for justice, and on the other side the big bad guy, the bully.The film is terribly stale and strangely uneventful to begin but kickstarts pretty fast.There are some pretty funny characters here and there.The answer to my title is very simple. The sub-cultural differences between the white and black communities in America. Not that only black people could like this film, but it is uninterruptedly and genuinely addressing the young black community, basically an anti-gangster propaganda. "Do the right thing", "be a man, the right way".Along the way, some gags are funny enough, and the acting though no Oscar-worthy performances is very realistic, feels very 'real', an essential component to get to the young black mind, using a star rapper and a star comedian for more influence.It's no masterpiece, but it holds up well enough. 6/10.

F. Gary Gray has made a sweet touching hood film if that makes any sense. A comedy-drama take on the life of two jobless African Americans who basically sit on the porch all day and discuss modern day tactics. My kinda movie.The film is about Craig Jones (Ice Cube) a crabby jobless "two cool for school" type kid and his drug-dealing best friend Smokey (Chris Tucker) sit on the porch all day, thinking it will be an easy day in the hood. When really it will be a life or death type day.The neighborhood bully Debo (Tom Lister, Jr.) harasses them and says they have to pay him $200 by nightfall or they "will not live to see Saturday." Friday is a sweet movie, it his hilarious in most parts. And is loaded with dialogue. Its the kinda movie you watch and chill out too. The dialogue is actually pretty well written. Ice Cube and DJ Pooh provided a script. From two small names in the film industry at the time, they didn't do bad.I too like the sequels of Friday, and find them true to the original. Mainly "Friday After Next" is my favorite of the franchise. I hope F. Gary Gray and Chris Tucker return to do one last Friday. Maybe this time they will move on to Saturday.Starring: Ice Cube, Chris Tucker, Tommy Lister Jr., Nia Long, Bernie Mac, and John Witherspoon. Directed by: F. Gary Gray.
amy todd
This is probably my favorite comedy of all time.I could watch this movie again and again and never be bored by it. Chris Tucker steals the show as Smokey the drug smoking best friend of Craig(played by actor/rapper/co-writer Ice Cube). The whole movie basicly follows Craig Jones and his best friend Smokey who on one friday end up the targets of drug dealer Big Worm(or Big Perm as Smokey calls him:)after smokey smokes up all of the drugs that Worm gave Smokey to sell for him. So Craig and Smokey have to find a way to get the money($200) by the end of the day while also dealing with other problems(Craig getting fired,dealing with neighborhood bully Deebo who pushes them and others around,etc..)or else they wont live to see saturday. Other great characters to look for in this awesome movie include Mr.Jones,Red,Stanely,Mr.and Mrs.Parker,and Ezal. With great music,characters,comedic moments,and acting this movie is definatly worth checking out at least once next time you want to see a comedy.Basicly I LOVE this movie.Give it a chance and it will grow on you. My Rating: 10/10
richard perez
Friday is one of the best movies I've ever seen. It includes comedy, drama, realism, and can even get you emotional if you need to be. It has exquisite acting that makes you wanna stay for Ice Cube's charm. I would watch it ten million trillion billion times again.

Chris Tucker and Ice Cube what more do you want for a Movie like this!? This movie was funny, bright and original. theirs not a point in the movie where it goes dull or boring.Its starts off when Craig (Cube) wakes up on a Friday morning with his friend Smokey (Tucker) outside of his house for only Smokey to find out Craig got fired on his day off, Smokey tries helping Craig feel better by Rolling him Joints and drinking beer, Craig doesn't touch weed, until Smokey forces him to, they both end up getting high, Along comes Big Worm, the man that gives Smokey the weed to sell, only for Smokey to smoke, later on Big Worm finds out Smokey doesn't have the cash to cough up so Big Worm gives Smokey a deadline warning, or a drive-by. Craig has nothing to do with it, but nothing matters no more.Through out the movie comes local bully's, Stupid Neighbours, dumb friends, Early 90's rap music, drive-by's, Horney midgets, fights and Craig & Smokey. A lot can go down between Thursday and Saturday!10/10

OPEN LETTER: I have been watching this movie since I was 6 years old.This movie? This movie right here? I can watch this movie over and over and I still laugh. ALL my friends love it. White, Black, Asian – It's great and funny! It can be defined in one word: CLASSIC! ACTUAL REVIEW: Wanna laugh? Watch this. Classic characters, classic soundtrack , classic tale, classic LINES! It is also very relate-able. We all know a Smokey "the pothead" or a Craig "the responsible one." Even though it was made in the 90's, this movie defies generations because of that fact. It is truly underrated by A LOT of critics! IN THE END… WATCH IT! RENT IT! BUY IT! STEAL IT! (okay don't do the last one) But just watch it! I give it 9 out of 10 stars.

(Re-review in 2015): It's interesting to see how this has been labeled the first "Hood" comedy. I'm sure there have been others – though written by, of all people, Joel Schumacher, I've always thought of 1976's Car Wash as the grand-daddy of them. It's also become a benchmark for stoners; for the 20th anniversary, it was screened for a special event on 4/20. Sadly, I couldn't attend full of the green stuff, but it was still an enjoyable experience seeing it again. Not great, but good.For all of the comparisons to it being Boyz N tha Hood as a crude comedy, that it is in part. But it's also like the Watts equivalent of something closer Clerks, also by first-time filmmakers: it's mostly about two guys who don't have much going on with their lives or prospects or action, but they're surrounded by so many 'lively' personalities and moments that are meant to get BIG laughs, regardless of a story structure that is super-strong outside of the Day-In-The-Life thing. And both borrow of course from Do the Right Thing, though Cube actually goes for his own version of the violent climax with a fight. The lack of any cops shows this is a fairly insulated world. Works for me.If it doesn't really have the same existential heft as Clerks, well, it's not fully trying to be that anyway. What we get here also, of course, is the breakthrough for Chris Tucker – an opportunity he'd only really pursue for another few years before spending his life, it appears, on Rush Hour checks (and a surprise guest spot in Silver Linings Playbook, of all things). His work here is still electrifying and high-charged, though maybe this time I saw more of the obvious "tics" of the character (like, we get it, the Angel Dust bit is one of the major highlights of the movie, but can't you move on?) And Cube is good as straight man for Tucker's foole, and has a few moments too.This is one of those movies I watched a LOT 'back in the day' as one might say. It's really a movie, despite being rated R, for 13 year olds, black or white, and seeing it at 13 made as big an impression as seeing Clerks or Pulp Fiction or whatever. At the time I thought it was that good on the level. But some things do last better than others, and the seams in Friday show much more over time. Some bits don't work – the crackhead (?) hustler is hit or miss, mostly great in the "HEY, SMOKY BACk HERE TAKING A S***!" bit – though Tony Lister, DEEBO of course in capital letters, is still amazing. And I found myself laughing often through the film, in part due to things still working, like anything with Bernie Mac (and Tony Cox!), and sometimes just nostalgia. It surprised me just how much I remembered in terms of dialog – if only I remembered everything from school like this, I'd be probably a smarter man today… oh well.Bottom line, enough of it holds up to recommend as a fun comedy, but the effect of 20 years of stoner/hood/black comedies have diluted some of its effectiveness; any time Craig narrated, or that quick montage of 'things that happened today' right before the fight, drag the movie down. And why do they go OUTSIDE knowing that the drive-by is going to happen? That they might shoot the houses whether or not they're there? Doesn't make sense.Maybe I'm putting too much thought into it here. But, for what it was, and is, it's fun, dirty stuff.

After listening to Ice Cube's song "Friday", I was very curious to know how good the actual movie was. Then when I finally bought the DVD of the film, I was very pleased. The movie was a great comedy, filled with laughs and an interesting story.The whole movie's story takes place on a Friday. It's about two friends (played by Ice Cube and Chris Tucker) who try to get through a regular Friday in their urban neighborhood. Little do these two fellows know, this Friday will be anything but regular. This Friday will be the most different Friday they will ever experience.The best thing about the movie is Chris Tucker. He gives a very comical and humorous performance as Smokey, the weed-addicted home boy. I've heard that Chris Tucker didn't star in the sequels to this film, so I refuse to watch the sequels. Ice Cube was pretty good in the movie too, but I wish he didn't have to star in the Tucker-less sequels, since Cube & Tucker go well together as buddies.The soundtrack of the movie is great as well. There are lots of hip hop songs played in various parts of the film. I particularly like the songs from Dr. Dre, Cypress Hill, and Ice Cube himself.The bad part about the movie is that the story itself seems to be over-simplistic. I think a way to improve the movie would have been to add more sub-plots, therefore making the movie contain many funny twists. But still, the movie is pretty good as it is.To sum up, this is a great movie to watch on a day when you're in need of some good comedy. I'd recommend watching the movie on a good ol' Friday night!I give this movie a 7/10.

When someone asks me which movie i have seen the most times, i have to answer Friday. I know the movie pretty much verbatim, and have seen it well over 30 times. Chris Tucker is one of the funniest people ever. This is his best performance, followed closely by Rush Hour. There are so many funny moments in this movie it would be impossible to name them all here. My favorites would have to be when Smokey meets his blind date, who turns out to be fat and bald, and the scenes where Deebo confronts Smokey and Craig, played by Ice Cube. The movie has a hilarious supporting cast, including John Witherspoon, Tiny Lister, and Bernie Mac. Critics don't know anything. If you ever have a chance to see this and enjoy urban comedy and Chris Tucker, don't even hesitate to watch. 10/10
I am only writing this because 7.3 rating is to low for this movie and just to say that you do not have to be black or live in the "hood" to like it. Not only is it very funny movie but it has a good message with a very good cast and still holds up 23 years after it came out.

Believe me, If you could relate to SMOKEY and CRAIG, then you would see why this flick is so funny! While Dumb & Dumber and Austin Powers:The Spy Who Shagged Me, had me rollin' at times, it didn't do enough to throw me at that front porch where our two main characters sit and do nothing but get high and jive! Yeah I can understand those critics who say "what's the point"? But in this flick, You don't need a point! Just plain and simple laughs! This is already a camp classic in case y'all don"t know! Please give it a look.

This movie is hilarious! As far as comedies go about the hood, this one is hands down the best. Chris Tucker and Ice Cube really mix up nicely in this one. This is a feel good movie and doesn't glorify the gritty hard reality violence of the inner city at all, but rather focuses on strugglin to make it with good humor and staying positive. Sure they smoke weed all up and down side to side through this movie, but you have to remember that brings a certain audience and humor to it that wasn't present before. This movie is downright laugh out loud caliber. The situations this odd couple is forced into are interesting and very funny. The re-watch value for Friday is tremendous and the characters are beautifully developed. There are some true memorable moments in Friday, and even more memorable characters. This is just a fun movie from start to finish and never tries to be perfect. Thank you for keeping it light, and to the point. All we wanted was some fun and it was delivered with Friday.

Eleven years ago (one year before this movie debuted), if you'd have told me you can get an entire movie from two guys sitting on their porch on a hot Friday afternoon, I'd have said you were nuts.I first saw this movie on a date with my girlfriend as a teenager way back in 1995 (it's hard to believe that was 10 years ago, I laughed through it then and I laugh through it now.It's also the movie that made me a Chris Tucker mark.I see everything that guy is in.The same goes for Cube.I love this movie's ability to show that ghettos aren't all like the 'Good Times' TV series.This movie keeps it's lightheartedness throughout especially with funny characters to support Cube and Tucker like DJ Pooh, A.J. Johnson and Tiny Lister.It also doesn't hurt to have Nia Long with her fine self in it either.But as I stated this movie is very lighthearted and doesn't begin to get serious at all until the end where Craig tears Smokey a new one for getting him involved in the mess, Big Worm's assassination attempt on Craig and Smokey and Craig coming to the aid of Debbie (Nia) when D-bo (Lister) is beating her up.It's at those two points you almost forget this is supposed to be a comedy movie.The most important message in this movie actually came from Johnny Witherspoon who portrayed Craig's father.He gave his son some very fatherly advise…which I hope to follow with my own son one day.Although I can't say I'd have been that calm if I walked into my son's room and saw him holding a semi-aotumatic 9mm pistol.But I did like his advice….as I believe it was meant to be a message to the audience."You kids today are nothing but punks, so quick to pick up a gun. You scared to take an ass-whipping!" (referring to his fists) "These are all the protection you need. You win some, you lose some, but you live!"

When I was 14, I first saw Friday and almost choked from laughter. The script by Ice Cube and DJ Pooh is right on target with it's ghetto humor. Another plus point for the film is it doesn't stereotype. But it's Chris Tucker as Smokey who makes this film. His high pitched voice and mannerisms are classic.Hard-core rapper Ice Cube, after appearing in such hard-hitting films as Boyz 'N the Hood and Higher Learning, played his first comic role in this picture he co-wrote with frequent musical collaborator DJ Pooh. Craig (Ice Cube) manages to get fired on his day off (though he claims it's through no fault of his own) and spends the day hanging out with his buddy Smokey (Chris Tucker) and trying to avoid his father (John Witherspoon), who wants him to find another job immediately. Smokey (whose name might have something to do with his tremendous fondness for marijuana) has even more serious problems; he was given $200 worth of weed to sell by Big Worm (Faizon Love), but he ended up smoking it instead, and if he can't come up with the money by the end of the day, he'll be in a world of hurt (and will put Craig in the same place just for being his friend). And Deebo (Tom "Tiny" Lister, Jr.), a gargantuan bully who roams the neighborhood on his bicycle, has it in for Craig, while Craig tries his best just to stay out of his way. As one would expect, Friday features a strong hip-hop soundtrack, featuring tracks by such artists as Dr. Dre, Cypress Hill, Mack 10, and Funkdoobiest, as well as old-school R&B selections from The Isley Brothers, Roger, and Rose Royce

Specialization between Family and State Intergenerational Time Transfers in Western Europe
By Igel, Corinne; Brandt, Martina; Haberkern, Klaus; Szydlik, Marc
Demographic change and particularly the growing number of elderly people are more and more a matter of public concern and of sociological interest. The main question of the debate is how support demands of older people can continue to be met. Sociological research attends to these concerns by analyzing intergenerational solidarity patterns and especially different support types between family members. Elderly people are particularly dependent on multifaceted support in their everyday life. This ranges from occasional help with the housework to round the clock physical nursing and care. The family is primarily providing these services with the children being one of the most important suppliers of intergenerational time transfers.
Anyhow, old and even very old people do not only receive support but often constitute an important source of intergenerational solidarity themselves (cf. BMFSFJ, 2006; Gallagher, 1994; Hank and Stuck, 2007; Kiinemund, 2006). As a consequence of higher life expectations and overall improved health status they are able to engage in different forms of help like for example the provision of child care (Hoff, 2007). More flexible life courses and increasing employment rates of women create new family diversity in terms of composition and organization. Thus, grandparents often occupy a central role in the support networks of families and strengthen the parents' ability to cope with the challenges of child care organization and employment. So far, only few studies have investigated the provision of grandchild care as an important form of intergenerational solidarity in a comparative perspective (e.g., Hank and Buber, 2008).
In this paper, by focusing on intergenerational time transfers flowing upwards to the elderly parents and downwards to adult children, we identify three main support types: (1) help and (2) personal care (from the child to the parent) and (3) help with grandchild care (to adult children).1 Time transfers between children and their parents are a flourishing field of research. In most studies all kinds of help and care activities are summarized under one concept, as "care," "support" or "time transfers" (e.g., Attias-Donfut, Ogg and Wolff, 2005). This approach permits to assess the extent of intergenerational support, but it does not consider substantial differences between help and care, even though the frequency and type of activity vary considerably (cf. Walker, Pratt and Eddy, 1995). Furthermore, occasional help and personal care may be influenced by different conditions on the individual and family level. Thus, by dismantling the broader concept of time transfers and separating between help and care, we are able to compare how opportunity, need and family structures (Szydlik, 2000, 2008) affect the helpers' and care givers' engagement differently.
Furthermore. cultural-contextual structures have to be taken into account. European societies are all affected by demographic aging and new family diversity, but the political reactions and approaches differ strongly from country to country. A variety of institutional approaches emerges and forms the contextual frame of individual help and care behavior. However, not only the state policies impact on families. Family customs and cultures can as well influence state policies. In a functional perspective family and the state fulfill a support function for people in need. Basically we may find three different modes: firstly, both private and public providers fulfill the same function together and stimulate each other, secondly family and state substitute for each other, and a strong family coincides with a minor provision of social services and vice versa. Thirdly, the two sources of support may be complementary and both providers specialize in certain dimensions of support, a process which is recently discussed as "functional differentiation" or "mixed responsibility" (cf. Daatland and Lowenstein, 2005; Motel-Klingebiel and Tesch-Röer, 2006). …

A 'Game of Thrones' Newbie Braves the Show's Barclays Center "Epic Fan Experience"
By Pilot Viruet
Here is what I know about Game of Thrones: Peter Dinklage is in it, there is some incest (a lot of incest?), and there is a throne. At first I thought this was a metaphorical throne, but a Parks and Recreation episode taught me that it's an actual, tangible throne that you can conveniently buy online. I have never seen an episode of the show, though it's possible the number of GIFs I've seen on Tumblr add up to a full hour of the program, but I still went to HBO's Game of Thrones "Epic Fan Experience" at the Barclays Center last night because, why not? I love watching television with other people, and I love watching new shows. I'm not sure the event would qualify as "epic" despite how many posters reiterated this description but it was something of an experience.
I'm well aware that Game of Thrones is a popular show that inspires rabid and obsessive dedication from its fans, but I wasn't prepared for how crazy it would be. The 7,000 tickets all sold out in advance and the place was packed with fans, most decked out in Game of Thrones-related merch (I don't know what "House of Daenerys" is, but based on the bro in the tight tee with the sleeves cut off, I don't think I'm a fan). There weren't as many costumes as I'd assumed there would be, but there were a few: a trio of girls in beautiful homemade dresses, a guy with a crown of antlers on his head (the friend I was with yelled, "I love True Detective!"), and someone who may have been cosplaying as the author, George R.R. Martin, or may have just been from Brooklyn.
The "fan experience" of the event was mostly standing in the various lines throughout the venue. Everyone had to check their phones (and any other electronic devices) at the door, where they were placed in brown paper lunch bags and held until you waited on an even longer line to retrieve it at the exit. Inside, there were lines to get a free gray T-shirt and lines to fill out a form in order to get a free Game of Thrones smartphone wallet (this was pretty harsh because it reminded us that we were currently spending hours without our phones). There were lines to get a $10.25 cup of Budweiser — the only one we waited in, only to learn they were actually two bucks more. There were also lines to look at a display of costumes from the show (even from afar, I have to admit they looked gorgeous), lines to listen to the Game of Thrones mixtape Catch the Throne (even though it is currently available on Soundcloud, no waiting necessary), and, most popular, very long lines to get your picture taken while sitting in one of the four or five Iron Thrones spread throughout the arena. Behind one throne was a giant Honda advertisement; I wasn't allowed to have my picture taken behind the wheel of the car.
The biggest draw of the event was the sneak peek at the Season 4 premiere. Because I'd never seen the show, I asked a handful of fans if they could explain the last three seasons to me in one sentence. Here's what they came up with:
"Political subterfuge and death." "Dragons." "Controlled chaos brought forth by a want to get a throne." "Cold bastard in the snow." "Death." "Brilliantly brutal." "Sex, death, violence, dragons, crowns, and thrones." "A lot of sex." "Medieval power hierarchy." "Everyone dies."
At least four people had that same last answer, and I still had no idea what to expect when the premiere began.
Before the episode, though, we were treated to a drumline rendition of the show's theme song and a performance by Common, one of the artists on Catch the Throne, who attempted to hype the crowd by ordering us to chant "Game of Thrones!" Then came the surprise guests of the night: actors Kristian Nairn, Maisie Williams, Sibel Kekilli, John Bradley, and creator George R. R. Martin. They did a short Q&A (all I really gathered from it is that everyone wants someone named Joffrey to die) and a surprise raffle of the giant Iron Thone — Martin joked that it was perfect for a NYC apartment.
I couldn't spoil the Season 4 premiere if I tried — the only notes I took during it read "the GOT title screen looks like a WWE belt" and "Chris from Skins???" — but it's fair to say that everyone around me loved it. It was a weird experience, this rapt attention of people watching a fantasy drama about dragons in a giant venue usually used for basketball games and Beyoncé concerts. (It was a little jarring to see Game of Thrones merch being sold under Nets logos.) It was also the darkest venue I've ever been to, thanks to the complete absence of phones/cameras (it wasn't that hard to sneak one in, but it was clearly grounds for immediate removal so no one wanted to take a chance).
The premiere was surprisingly enjoyable considering I had no idea what was going on (though the spontaneous cheers helped me figure out who I should be rooting for), and I did find myself getting wrapped up in everything that was happening on screen, though I doubt I'll rush to watch the series anytime soon. But the event clearly delivered what it promised to its fans: a few hours of immersing themselves in this Game of Thrones world with like-minded people — and one impostor.

Sanity Of Sanitary
Home / Uncategorized / Sanity Of Sanitary
By j9AQ3kc5JlFebruary 1, 20220Uncategorized
The "Sanity Of Sanitary" Campaign: An initiative by Little Hand Foundation for Awareness of Personal Hygiene and Distribution of Sanitary Pads.
Personal hygiene is an important aspect of any human's life. It makes one feel clean and keeps them safe from infectious diseases and other harms. Regardless of a person's age or gender, personal hygiene is necessary to follow.
From people living in slums to people living in lavish villas, the importance of hygiene remains the same for all of them. But only the self-sufficient and privileged people are able to actually maintain it. The judgements, negligence, unawareness and availability have blended themselves into a disaster that has brought this unhygienic chaos.
Especially in the case of women living in slums, the concept of personal hygiene has been complicated from just a simple cleanliness habit to something which should be spoken or known. As a matter of fact, menstruation is as normal as any other activity a human body performs to function itself and maintaining personal hygiene is a must at such times of the month. But people's ridiculous judgements and behaviour have barged themselves to the point that women feel pressured to maintain cleanliness for their own safety.
But this is only a part of the issue.
It is clear that India has developed itself into a country of advanced tools and commodities that make our lives better and easier. As such, we have made it easier to maintain personal hygiene and it is the same for maintaining hygiene during menstruation. From tampons to menstrual cups, various products help women to remain hygienic. Yet, many women are unaware of these products. Even if they are aware of such products, it is difficult for them to consume because of reasons like a high price, fear of being judged or doubts about the safety of these products. These uncertainties lead to the spread of various diseases throughout areas and put people's lives in danger.
Little Hand Foundation is a nonprofit organization striving to uplift the lives of every individual by contributing to the basic requirements of the unaware and needy, to help them survive and sustain themselves in this world. Our motto is "Uplifting the livelihoods of all living beings in need." And contemplating the weight of the issue, we here at Little Hand Foundation came up with the "Sanity Of Sanitary" campaign.
The "Sanity Of Sanitary" campaign focuses on the issues relating to the personal hygiene of women, especially during menstruation. We are going to different slums of Delhi to educate women about the benefits of sanitary pads and reasons to avoid traditional unhygienic methods during menstruation. To help them understand its importance, we are also distributing sanitary pads to the local women in slums. Currently, we have distributed more than 100 boxes of sanitary pads in different areas.
But, this is just the beginning of our cause. We want to educate women about the importance of personal hygiene and self-care. Our goal is to spread awareness of personal hygiene and the safety of sanitary pads among the women living in the slums of Delhi. So that we break this unnecessary pressure and stigma around menstruation and truly start caring about our health.
We request your assistance in any means. These trivial issues of negligence and unawareness cause severe problems in the lives of women. It's never too late to begin something that can change people's lives. Your donation to this cause will be highly appreciated and we promise you that your helping hand will be used to our utmost capabilities.

Q: Wpf - Updating list following user control event I have a WrapPanel in MainWindow.xaml that is being populated with (PlayerCard) User Control Children.

The sniper rifle market is gradually increasing and occupies a huge market all over the world. As the defense budgets of developing countries and the emerging economies increase, countries will want to replace the ageing sniper rifles with their law enforcement and armed forces. The sniper rifle market is slated to grow rapidly over the next few years, overcoming the slowdown in the United States, which is showing slow growth at present. The major drivers of the sniper rifle market will be India, China, and Middle-East over the next few years.
The United States is one of the key suppliers of arms and ammunition to many countries around the world and is likely to stay a key supplier for the forecast period, mostly due to increase in agreements with the military organizations in developing countries. Russia is also a key supplier of heavy weapons as well as impressive R&D activities in the sniper rifle segment.
Key Players: S and T Motiv Co., FN HERSTAL, Savage, Mechanical and Chemical Industry Corporation, Knight's Armament Co., amongst others.

Thieving Wives and Tiers Turned Hairdressers
Late to the party but with typically excellent coverage, the Financial Times offered its take on the hackle-feather-hair-accessory craze this morning. Tim Neville describes ecstatic salon owners, tiers repurposing old saddle hackle, and wives turned suddenly curious about what their husbands have in their fly tying kits.
"I have never in 10 years of marriage looked in his box,' says Andrea Benedetto of La Pine, Oregon, who 'raided' her husband Rick's fly-fishing stash to find materials for an extensions business she launched with friend Cindy Beckwith last February."
PBS to Air "Salmon: Running the Gauntlet"
On Sunday, May 1 at 8PM ET/PT, PBS will a air a 30-minute Nature special titled "Salmon: Running the Gauntlet." From the show description: "Nature goes beyond the ongoing debate over how to save an endangered species to expose a wildly creative, hopelessly complex and stunningly expensive approach to managing salmon." See the preview here.

The big, scary Obama Fishing Ban
I have only one thing to say to the blizzard of folks who are buzzing about President Obama supposedly banning recreational fishing: Congratulations. Now grow up.
I mean, really. Are we so hard up for consumable news that we have to look into every little possible twist we can get in order to drum up some bad press about one of America's favorite traditional pastimes? This is a stretch at the very least, and I'm surprised at the people jumping on that particular buzz bandwagon. Really.
It would be easy to say that this strategy of spreading a fictitious ban story is all about trying to get Obama out of the White House. But I'll bet it's really much simpler and more primal than that. I think, like so many things, it's about money. Fox is in the business of selling space. The space they sell surrounds news. The more people who read, watch or listen to that news, the more valuable the space is around it, and thus the more
Beaver Country
Within the past couple of days, after a long winter of waiting for ice-out (snow-out?), I finally made it back to one of my favorite fishing spots. I did not fish.
April 1st, the season opened for trout. That date is somewhat arbitrary, yes. After all, most of the good water around here has at least one or two good stretches of all-year, catch-and-release fishing. Not only that, but the water level, speed and temperature puts a damper on most fishermen's plans well into mid-April. So what about that date?
In the end, April 1 is one big sign of Spring trout fishing, along with small green plant sprouts poking through the dirt and snow, Robins bouncing around my very small yard, and this:

North Country at Work: The entrepreneurial spirit of muskie guide Jim Evans
(Jun 26, 2018) James "Jim" Evans tried his hand at a lot of things from trapping to a family tackle shop to operating a go-cart track and chicken & biscuit business. But probably what he's most widely known for was his turn as a muskie guide from the 1960s through the '90s. He brought curious visitors out on the St. Lawrence River and showed them how to reel in muskies, the nickname for muskellunge, a freshwater fish found in the northern United States and Canada.

Dam removal sparks cultural revival for Mohawk tribe
(Sep 7, 2017) Last year, 72 dams across the US were demolished; hundreds more were removed in the past ten. Most dam removals are part of an effort to restore rivers and the animals that live there. But when a dam across the St. Regis River in northern New York was removed late last year, the Mohawk people that live there saw it as an opportunity to reclaim the land and use it to express their culture and heritage.

My Favorite Blast & Cast
When I asked "where the fishing is at its best, now?" I was thinking Louisiana, for redfish. But all those good responses got me thinking I need to check more places out.
One thing I will say is that I really like combo trips... "blast and casts" where you hunt a little, and fish a little in the same day or weekend. And for that, I really love Louisiana. Shoot 'dem ducks (or geese) in the morning, catch 'dem redfish in the afternoon... eat 'dat crawfish boil at night. I can't think of any better... Et toi! What do you say?
I want to hear what you think the most epic
Bass Eats Out Of Hand

Dick Cheney, Guest of Honor at AMFF - Huh?
If this is true, it is surely a sign that the apocalypse is upon us:
It seems that Ted Williams over at Fly Rod and Reel has "an unimpeachable source (suggesting) that the American Museum of Fly Fishing is going to make none other than VP Dick Cheney its guest of honor at its spring meeting."
