Want Engagement? Be Engaged.
Lifestyle » How to Build a Lifestyle Business
It's easy to fool yourself.
Wait, fool isn't a harsh enough word.
Lie.
Yeah, it's easy to lie to yourself.
While that statement can be true in just about any scenario, the context I'm referring to it in has to do with social media.
These days it's all about engagement.
Everyone. Is. Talking. About. It.
Compared to five years ago, engagement on blogs is down.
Usage of social media is up.
But lately, even in social media, engagement is getting harder to come by.
As social sites like Instagram are constantly tweaking their algorithm, and more people than ever are trying to become "influencers" what was once easy, suddenly becomes more difficult.
And the people who win? They're the ones who work.
You're Trying. But Are You Really?
For my golf site, Breaking Eighty, Instagram has been the single biggest growth factor I have.
Yet for some reason, I didn't embrace it in the same way here at Location Rebel.
I made a push a couple of years ago to try and build up the account and get it going.
I told myself that I was committed to making it work, and growing. And then I became frustrated and disillusioned when it didn't.
Despite telling myself that I was engaged with it, and really working to grow it, if I'm honest with myself, I half assed it, and expected it to be easier.
"I can post some photos a few times a week, and that will be enough to really make this work!"
Another lie has been my engagement on our YouTube channel, which has had a bit more success.
You see, I was engaged at times with aspects of it. But I didn't, and haven't, gone all in.
There's no social media platform in existence in 2018 where once a week will cut it.
You want to succeed on Instagram? Multiple posts a day. Stories. Comments. Engage.
Want YouTube success? 2-3 videos a week is the minimum. In that world, once a week isn't engaged. No matter what you tell yourself.
These days for as simple as the influencers of the world make it seem, growing a successful following on Instagram or YouTube is harder than ever.
There's an unbelievable amount of noise and competition out there. There are thousands of people doing the same thing as you who are treating it like a full time job.
That's what you're up against.
So, unfortunately, half-assing a few posts a week isn't going to cut it. Even for someone like me who already has a large, established brand to kickstart things.
Success in one medium does not guarantee success in another.
So here it is. Here's the secret to growing a social media account these days:
If you want engagement, be engaged.
I can throw out any number of cliche pieces of advice for growing an audience.
Leverage your personality!
Find Your Niche!
Collaborate with others!
Post regularly!
But the precursor to all of that comes down to the basics:
Be engaged.
Be engaged in all aspects of creating.
The research.
The creation.
The promotion.
The relationship building.
The learning.
The testing.
It's not enough to be engaged in any one of those things. You have to be engaged and excited about all of it.
That is how you get engagement. You have to give it long before you get it.
So if you've been struggling to grow anything online these days, ask yourself one simple question:
Are you engaged?
I mean, really, truly, honestly, 110% engaged and committed to what you're doing?
Because these days? Anything less probably won't be good enough.


The first tip on how to win a street fight is to try and avoid situations or people that would make you need to fight in the first place. The best way to solve a problem is to avoid the problem from ever happening.
I know that being labeled a chicken or a coward may be humiliating, but isn´t it much better than going to prison and sharing a small cell with another inmate if you win the street fight, or going to the morgue if you lose the fight ? The decision is up to you.
If you can not avoid fighting, then keep calm, try not to allow the situation to rattle you, but keep your brain focused and use it to your advantage.
Go for vital points on your opponent. Jab his eyes with your fingers as quickly as you can.

Do Bruce a favor ? Click Here To Tweet This Page !
Hit him in the throat with you hand in a V shape or with the first knuckles on your fingers. Or jab his adam´s apple with your thumb as hard as possible.
Hit him in his solar plexus, under his sternum, with the heel of your palm and try to push it through him to a point you imagine 6 inches behind his body.
Kick his knee with a Savate type of kick. Wing Chun also has good low kicks to the knee that are easy to learn. These are good strategies on how to win a street fight.
If he takes you to the ground, and your mouth is near his nose, ear, fingers, etc. then take that opportunity and bite ! The human jaw has a strong, powerful muscle, so clamp your teeth hard on the exposed area of your enemy and inflict some pain. This will often end any fight.
Bite as hard as you can, and imagine you are a wolf or tiger. Pull your mouth away from your opponent quickly, spitting off what you just bit off. It is disgusting but it might just be the thing to save your life.
You should know your enemy. Your opponent may be high with some illegal drugs giving them superhuman abilities and unable to feel pain. Be aware of this. Better to run away from this dude then to fight with him in this condition.
After your enemy goes is severely injured by your actions, do not just leave him there, call the authorities for medical treatment showing your good intentions.
When striking, use your whole body, and not only your arm, to generate force. Rotate your waist with your strikes to coordinate your whole body with the strike.
Try to never show your enemy that you are in pain. Grind your teeth if you need to avoid showing pain. Act as if you enjoy fighting and are eager to fight, to make your opponent feel nervous.
You can be cool, but you will never be Bruce Lee dropping the bass cool.

Devolution 20 – How has the 'size of Wales' changed?
By seneddresearch April 29, 2019 December 3, 2019
Much has changed in Wales in the twenty years since the first National Assembly for Wales was elected in May 1999. This is the first in a series of articles that attempts to describe some of that change. It has been prepared by Senedd Research as part of the Assembly's activity to mark twenty years of devolution.
In 2017, an estimated 3.125 million people lived in Wales an increase of 225,000 people (or 7.7 %) from 1999
The biggest contributor to population growth in the last 20 years was moves within the UK, mainly from England to Wales.
Between 2001 and 2011, the percentage of the Welsh population describing their ethnic group as White British fell from 96.0% to 93.2%, whilst the percentage describing themselves as non-White (including mixed) ethnic groups increased from 2.1% to 4.0%.
The average age of the population is expected to increase by 2.5 years in the next 20 years, and the population of people aged 65 and over is expected to grow by 30%.
The number of Welsh speakers in Wales is increasing and was about one in five people at the time of the last census in 2011.
The population of Wales grew by 225,000 (or 7.7 %) between 1999 and 2017, according to the latest mid-year population estimates produced by the Office for National Statistics (ONS). Data on migration flows is only available from 2001 to 2017 so the following analysis focuses on this period.
How is population changing in your area? The chart below shows the percentage change in population of each local authority from 2001 to 2017.
The local authority with the biggest population increase was Cardiff (17.0%) where growth was above both the Wales average (7.4%) and the UK average (11.7%). A population decrease was observed in Blaenau Gwent and Ceredigion.
The drivers of growth in the population of Wales were:
Internal migration between UK countries: 85,000 (41%).
International migration between Wales and non-UK countries: 66,000 (32%).
Natural change (births minus deaths): 24,000 (12%).
Other changes such as armed forces, prison populations and inaccuracies in the estimation: 32,000 (15%).
The largest contributor to internal migration was moves from England to Wales. ONS internal migration statistics estimate that since 1999, there were 59,000 moves from England per year on average. In contrast, there were 53,000 per year in the opposite direction.
Ethnicity, religion and national identity
Between the 2001 and 2011 censuses, the percentage of the Welsh population describing their ethnic group as White British fell from 96.0% to 93.2% whilst the percentage describing themselves as non-White (including mixed) ethnic groups increased from 2.1 to 4.0%. Wales remains markedly less diverse than England and Wales taken together, where 80.5% of people identified as White British in 2011.
Those describing their ethnic group as Asian are the second largest ethnic group in Wales. Between 2001 and 2011 the percentage of the Welsh population describing their ethnic group as Asian increased from 1.1% (32,000) to 2.3% (71,000).
The population of non-White ethnic groups is centred on the southern cities. The local authorities in Wales with the lowest proportion of the population describing their ethnic group as White in 2011 were Cardiff (84.8%), Newport (89.9%) and Swansea (94.1%).
Between 2001 and 2011 the percentage of the Welsh population giving their religion as Christian fell from 71.9% to 57.6%. whilst the percentage of the population saying they had no religion increased by 445,000 (from 18.5% to 32.1%). The second largest religious group was Muslims with 46,000 people (1.5% of the population), up from 22,000 (0.7%) in 2001.
2011 was the first year the census asked a question about national identity. Nearly two-thirds (66%. 2.0 million) of Welsh residents expressed their national identity as Welsh: of these, 218,000 (7.1% of the total population) also reported that they considered themselves to be British.
In 2017, the number of people resident in Wales with a non-UK country of birth was 196,000 (6.4% of the population), up from 75,000 (2.6% of the population) in 2001. For the UK as a whole, this rose from 8.3% to 14% in the same period.
Where do people move to Wales from? Inward migration has increased since 1999. On the atlas below, the arrow widths are scaled to represent the proportion of moves to Wales from each continent during the period 1999-2017.
The most rapid increase occurred from 2011 to 2014 and peaked at 28,000 migrants per year. Outward migration was slightly steadier and largely balanced inward migration until about 2012. From 2013-2017 inflow exceeded outflow by more than 10,000 people per year.
Factors that influence migration, such as the UK's relationship with the EU, are unpredictable. Combined with the volatility in the data, this makes it difficult to produce a future projection of migration.
Births and deaths
People are having fewer children. Between 1999 and 2017, the number of births per year peaked in 2010 at 2.3 live births per 100 women. Since then, it has steadily decreased to 2.0 live births per 100 women. The age at which women give birth is increasing. The proportion of births by women under 25 years of age dropped from 32% to 23% from 2004 to 2017.
People are living longer: Between 1999 and 2014, life expectancies steadily increased by 3.7 years for males and 2.6 years for females. For the period 2012-2014, male and female life expectancies were 78.5 and 82.3, respectively.
The population pyramids below show the number of males and females of each single year of age. Ripples in the distribution's width reflect differences in birth and death rates between generations. For example, the spikes in the number of people aged 52 in 1999 and aged 70 in 2017 (indicated by arrows) are due to the post-war baby boom.
The age distributions of males largely reflects that of females. One exception is that in 1999, there were substantially fewer men than women in the over 60 age group.
Ageing population: The share of the population under 16 years of age decreased from 20% in 1999 to 18% in 2017. In contrast, the share of the population aged 65 and over increased from 17% in 1999 to 21% in 2017. The share of the population at working age (16-64) increased from 62% to 64% between 1999 and 2008 but returned to 62% by 2017.
Although the differences in the age distributions were small, they are expected to change dramatically in the future, as discussed below.
Looking to the next 20 years, the 2016-based population projections produced by ONS provide some insight as to how Wales' demography may change:
The population is projected to grow by 3.3% from 2019 to 2039. A projected increase of 103,000 is substantially smaller than the previous 20 years.
The average age of the population is expected to increase by 2.5 years by 2039, from 42.2 in 2019 to 44.7 in 2039.
The population of people aged 65 and over is expected to grow by over 30%.
The working age (16-64) and under-16 populations are expected to decrease by 4.6% and 2.6%, respectively.
The big story in these projections is an expected increase of people aged 65 and over by 30%. An ageing population puts increasing demand on the provision of health and social care, as well as other services, such as home adaptations. As the Assembly's Finance Committee notes in its inquiry report ' 'The cost of caring for an ageing population', the increase in the proportion of older people is significant since a longer lifespan means that there are many more people with care and support needs arising from chronic conditions, including dementia and frailty in older age. These extra services will be required at a time when public finances are impacted upon by a reduction in the working age population.
A growing population increases the demand for new homes. It is currently estimated that between 6,700 and 9,700 additional housing units will be required each year between 2018-19 and 2022-23. New homes will need more schools as well as transport services and infrastructure to connect them. There are also implications for natural resources and the environment.
The detail of these claims should be treated carefully as projections only indicate how the population will change if current trends continue. They do not make allowances for a changing economy, new government policies, international relations, housing availability, diseases or epidemics, technological advances or any other societal factors. Projections are increasingly uncertain and increasingly sensitive to the underlying assumptions and input data the further they are carried forwards.
The heat map below shows the percentage of people who said that they can speak Welsh in the 2001 and 2011 Censuses, by area. The data shows that the percentage of people who consider themselves to be Welsh speakers is higher in north and west Wales compared to south east of Wales.
The Census shows a decrease in the percentage of Welsh speakers from 21% (582,000) in 2001 to 19% (562,000) in 2011. The ONS Annual Population Survey (APS) which asks a similar question to a sample of households on Welsh language ability suggests that the number of people reporting they can speak Welsh has risen steadily since 2010, with the latest data in 2018 reporting that over 875,000 people aged 3 and over can speak Welsh.
The Welsh Government has set itself an ambitious target to grow the number of Welsh speakers to one million by 2050 (based on Census results). Its Welsh language strategy, Cymraeg 2050, sets out the key interventions, support and investment required to achieve this goal. These include such things as expanding Welsh-medium early years provision, increasing the proportion of children receiving Welsh-medium education and developing opportunities and promoting its use socially and in the digital sphere.
The next article to be published tomorrow will look at travel.

We'll send you updates with the latest deals, reviews and articles for Williams each week.
Williams, Arizona, contrary to popular belief, does have cold winters. Nothing so cold that Northerners would be expect, but the average temperature for January is only 45 degrees. Of course, summers in the city are very hot and dry.
The best time to come to Wiliams is spring through fall. Visiting the Grand Canyon is best during these months. If you want slightly cooler temperatures, try to come in the late May to early June or late September to avoid the scorching June through August temperatures. Visitors should also keep in mind that, while the South Rim of the Grand Canyon is open 365 days a year, the North Rim is only open from Mid-May through Mid-October. October does not guarantee that it will be open either; times are subject to change, weather permitting.
Williams has several fun festivals that you may want to work into your visit. "Rendez Vous Days" takes place over Memorial Day weekend and celebrates the city's western culture origins. There is a parade, crafts from the era, and even a shootout competition!
The fourth of July is a charming time to be in Williams as it epitomizes small-town, Americana culture. Fireworks, an ice-cream social, parade, and a town barbeque are all a part of the celebration of America's Independence.
The Cowpuncher's Reunion Rodeo is an action-packed display of true western culture. It usually takes place the last weekend in July.
Mid August sees a classic car exhibition and an early American culture celebration at the Cool Country-Cruise In & Route 66 Festival.

Sovereign are making the city more affordable at Winchester's Knight's Quarter Development
3 December 2021 • 3 min read
Against news that Winchester is one of the least affordable places to live in the UK, Sovereign launched their shared ownership homes last Friday to a waiting list of viewers. In a popular event at the Knights Quarter development, Sovereign offered a Covid-safe look at the desirable new affordable homes in the centre of Winchester.
Often voted one of the best places to live in the country, Winchester remains prohibitively expensive for a lot of people, with an average house price of £447,808 – a staggering £213,808 above the national average of £264,000. Local prices also increased 11% in the last year further pushing up demand for affordable homes.
Sovereign are working with Berkeley to bring these quality new affordable homes to Winchester, regenerating the former police headquarters. The disused site in Romsey Road is making way for almost 300 homes, 97 which will be available through Sovereign for affordable rent and shared ownership. The 60 modern, comfortable, and spacious shared ownership one-bed and two-bed apartments are available to reserve now through Sovereign for shared ownership and can be purchased with deposits from 5% of the share value.
Sovereign Sales Manager, Hope, said:
"Shared ownership offers an opportunity to buy a home without needing the large deposit or the mortgage that goes with it. You buy a share in the home that's right for you and pay a reduced rent on the remaining share, along with a monthly service charge.
"As your finances allow, you can buy further shares in your home as and when you choose, meaning you'll own more and pay less rent. We call this 'staircasing' – in most instances you can staircase all the way up to 100% to own your home outright.
"Sovereign is passionate about giving everyone the opportunity to own their own home. Our dedicated sales team has already helped thousands onto the property ladder. We're excited to make living in Winchester city centre a reality and can't wait to help more people love where they live.
"Shared ownership is making owning a home in Winchester city centre a reality for aspiring homeowners."

ECO ORO vs COLOMBIAevan2019-07-15T18:57:37+00:00
GOLDEN PROFITS UNDERMINE PEOPLE'S RIGHT TO CLEAN WATER:
ECO ORO vs COLOMBIA
In February 2016, after massive local protests, Colombia's Constitutional Court put the final nail in the coffin of a huge gold mining project by Canadian company Eco Oro: the court decided that no extractive activities could take place in the high-mountain ecosystems known as páramos, including the Santurban páramo where Eco Oro had its project. Less than a month later, the company told the government that it would file an investment arbitration lawsuit. Even worse, the US$764 million claim by Eco Oro seems to have triggered a whole string of investor attacks.
"Our gold is our water" and "water before gold"1 were key slogans of the 40,000 strong demonstration against the mining project in the páramo of Santurban which took place in February 2011 in Bucaramanga, Santander region. It was part of a long struggle by Colombians opposing large-scale gold mining and defending their right to clean drinking water.
(Mining in the páramos) is a serious abuse of natural resources, and a refusal of the fundamental right to water.
Colombian senator Iván Cepeda2
Páramos are rare high-altitude wetland ecosystems that serve as vital sources of freshwater. Colombia's páramos provide the country with 70 per cent of its drinking water.3 The Santurban páramo alone is the source of clean drinking water for two million Colombians. But hidden under these fragile ecosystems lie vast reserves of gold, coal and other minerals, the extraction of which is widely acknowledged as a "major cause of pollution of soil and water" in the country.4
Mining companies resist government regulation but people power prevails
Canadian mining company Greystar (later renamed Eco Oro) was one of the first multinationals to acquire exploration rights for gold in Colombia in the mid-1990s. Its Angostura mining project was close to the páramo of Santurban, where exploration and feasibility operations were undertaken for several years.5 The fragility and ecological importance of the páramos had not yet been officially recognised by the Colombian government.
This changed in 2010, when the first laws to restrict mining in the páramos were enacted. At first, Eco Oro and other companies found ways to get exemptions from the laws, advancing their mines in what had by then become environmental preservation zones.6 But in 2016, the Constitutional Court struck down all exemptions to the ban on mining in protected areas.7 At the time, Eco Oro had not received all required permits for its operations, let alone started exploiting the gold. Moreover in 2011 Colombia's Ministry of Environment had even rejected the company's impact assessment.8
Environmental protection prevails over economic rights acquired by private persons… when it is proven that the activity causes harm, or when there is reason to apply the precautionary principle to avoid harm to non-renewable natural resources or to human health.
Constitutional Court of Colombia9
The constitutional case was a key victory during a long period of resistance by citizens, NGOs and academics, led by the Committee for the Defense of Water and the Santurbán Páramo, an umbrella organisation of 40 groups, which represents 75,000 people.10 For the mining industry, it was a major defeat, not least because the court had categorically declared that "public interests supersede private interests", as one gold company later complained.11
"Water over profits" rules Colombia's top court, but Eco Oro asks investment lawyers for a second opinion
The industry fought back immediately. Eco Oro sued Colombia via the investor-state dispute settlement (ISDS) mechanism in the Canada-Colombia trade agreement, thereby bypassing Colombian courts. The lawsuit was filed in 2016 at ICSID (International Centre for Settlement of Investment Dispute), the arbitration centre of the World Bank.12 According to UN data, the company is claiming US$764 million in compensation13 – more than three times the US$250 million which it allegedly spent to develop the project.14
The company argues that the measures taken by the government "destroyed the value of its investments" and frustrated its "legitimate expectations"15. The reality however is that the Greystar/Eco Oro project was troubled from the beginning. The exploration phase took until 2004, with an impasse in operations from 1999 till 2003. The construction of the mine and its actual exploitation was meant to start in 2008, but it never happened.16 The mining site was always controversial, and faced increased resistance as the years passed by. In fact, already in 2010, it seemed clear that the government would not grant the environmental license needed to proceed with the exploitation of the mine. Officials from the State Attorney General's Office deemed that "in view of the applicable environmental and mining legislation, this is a nonviable project."17
States should not be sanctioned for protecting their water sources, given that they are doing so in accordance with national and international obligations.
Carlos Lozano Acosta, Interamerican Association for Environmental Defense (AIDA)18
The arbitrators who will decide the case, like in many others, are not interested in hearing those affected by the mining project. In 2019 they rejected a request from the Committee for the Defense of Water and the Santurbán Páramoand allied organisations to provide evidence on how the case could impact on human rights.19
The World Bank's conflicts of interest
A World Bank tribunal will decide whether Eco Oro's rights have been violated. But the World Bank's private investment division, the International Finance Corporation (IFC), was a key shareholder in Eco Oro's mine between 2009 and 2015, before it disinvested from the project20 after civil society investigations proved that it had failed to consider the environmental and social impacts of the mine, a requirement for IFC investments.21 While financially backing the project, the Bank had claimed that mining in the páramos could "bring substantial benefits and promote sustainable development" in the region.22
From a judicial perspective, there is a clear conflict of interests. It is difficult to see how in this situation an investment arbitration tribunal can make an objective and independent evaluation of the measures taken by a country to protect the public interest.
Colombian lawyer Marco Velásquez-Ruiz, speaking about the World Bank's financial support to Eco Oro23
As if that wasn't bad enough, Eco Oro's lawsuit is bank-rolled with a US$14 million cash injection from Wall Street private equity firm Tenor Capital. In exchange for a share of the final award, Tenor covers Eco Oro's legal costs. This has not only enabled the company to file the case, but will also provide the financial means to put significant extra litigious pressure on Colombia.24
A flood of cases against Colombia
In 2018, two more Canadian mining companies, Red Eagle Exploration25 and Galway Gold,26 filed arbitration cases for similar reasons to Eco Oro. The cases are part of a recent flood of 11 known investor-state lawsuits which have hit Colombia between 2016 and 2018, most of them triggered by recent trade and investment treaties with Canada and the US. Until then, Colombia had not been the subject of investment arbitration attacks, but as we have seen already, one case seems to inspire more, as the word spreads among companies and highly paid investment lawyers about potential rich pickings in impoverished countries which do not have the resources to fight off attacks from multiple well-resourced companies.

How third-party funders make millions by betting on investment disputes
Third-party funding (TPF) of investment lawsuits is a growing and highly contested business. A funder – most frequently an insurance company, investment bank or hedge fund – covers the investor's costs for lawyers and legal proceedings in exchange for a sizeable cut of the profits if the case is won. Typically, a funder will take between 30 to 50 per cent of the final award, or three to four times the amount it invested.27 These funders mostly invest in cases when the expected outcome is at least US$14 million.28
This betting on cases has proven highly lucrative. For example, take Tenor Capital, the funder of Eco Oro and Gabriel Resources' lawsuit against Romania. This Wall Street hedge fund invested US$62.5 million in an investor lawsuit against Venezuela "in return for 70.5% of the 'net'… award after payments to creditors and tax authorities".29 Tenor hit the jackpot when Venezuela was ordered to pay out US$1.4 billion.
Likewise, in 2017, litigation funder Burford Capital cashed in more than US$100 million when Argentina was ordered to pay US$320 million in a case taken by an airline company. The fund had spent US$12.8 million to pay part of the investors' legal fees, so Burford's gains represent a 736 per cent return on its investment.30
This type of speculative funding is likely to inflate the number of investment arbitration lawsuits being taken, as it removes the financial risk for companies of an expensive claim, making it more attractive and viable for businesses to sue.
Third party funding gives a small class of investors even more resources to pursue unbalanced claims against constrained states.

U.S. pension plans' funding level drops in February
PITTSBURGH — U.S. pension plans' funding level declined by 3.4 percentage points in February, according to Mellon Financial's pension liability indexes. The funded status of pension plans had been improving in recent months, the decline in the stock markets last week helped drive down the value of assets, said David Chittim, senior vice president at Mellon Asset Management. The value of assets declined by 0.1% last month, while liabilities increased 3.3%. The increase in liabilities was driven by a 30- to 35-basis-point drop in interest rates.
For the first two months of the year, the typical funded status of a pension plan has declined by one percentage point.
Oklahoma Tobacco trust shifts to fixed income from equities
OKLAHOMA CITY — Oklahoma Tobacco Settlement Endowment Trust, Oklahoma City, decreased its equity allocation to 45% of assets from 55% and increased its fixed-income allocation to 45% from 35%, confirmed James Wilbanks, director of revenue and fiscal policy for state Treasurer Scott Meacham.
The changes are designed to boost returns, he said. The assets will be reallocated to the fund's existing managers.
The $323 million trust fund, which invests Oklahoma's share of the National Tobacco Settlement, has the remaining 10% of its assets invested in a market-neutral hedge fund managed by Franklin Portfolio Associates.

Ohio plans reach $144 million settlement with Time Warner
COLUMBUS, Ohio — Five Ohio pension funds and the Ohio Bureau of Workers Compensation fund, all in Columbus, will share a net $144 million settlement with Time Warner Inc. over a 2003 lawsuit that claimed the value of AOL stock was inflated before the 2001 AOL-Time Warner merger, Ohio Attorney General Marc Dann said. Mr. Dann said Ohio funds would have received only $9 million if it taken part in the class-action lawsuit against the company. A separate lawsuit against Ernst & Young, Time Warner's accounting firm, is pending.
The $67.9 billion State Teachers Retirement System of Ohio will receive $66.6 million; the $73.6 billion Ohio Public Employees Retirement System, $62.3 million; the $18.9 billion workers compensation fund, $8.9 million; the $11.2 billion Ohio Police & Fire Pension Fund, $4.2 million; the $10.3 billion School Employees Retirement System of Ohio, $2.5 million; and the $753 million Ohio Highway Patrol Retirement System, $290,778.
A call to Time Warner was not returned by press time.
The $149 billion California State Teachers' Retirement System, Sacramento, reached a $105 million settlement with Time Warner in February.
Rhode Island sets Shenkman adrift for performance
PROVIDENCE, R.I. — Employees' Retirement System of Rhode Island terminated Shenkman Capital Management, which ran $135 million in high-yield bonds, for underperformance, said Peter Kerwin, spokesman for state Treasurer Frank Caprio, who oversees the $7.9 billion system.
Shenkman consistently failed to meet Rhode Island's performance requirements since the firm was hired in mid-2002, according to a news release from Mr. Caprio's office.
In the release, Mr. Caprio said the termination was in line with a campaign promise he made to conduct a "top-to-bottom analysis of the management of the state pension fund" and — with the fund's high-yield allocation falling to 7.5% from 15% of its fixed-income portfolio — gives Rhode Island the opportunity to proactively limit its exposure to "this particular high-risk asset class." A decision on where to allocate the $135 million will be made after the review of the pension fund is completed, according to the news release.
An official at Shenkman who declined to be identified said no one at the firm would comment.
St. Louis City Schools ups global TAA to 10%
ST. LOUIS — St. Louis Public School Retirement System increased its target allocation to global tactical asset allocation to 10% from 8% and trimmed core global bonds to 10% from 12%, confirmed Andrew Clark, executive director for the $1.1 billion pension fund. He was not able to provide further comment at press time.

Obama's ICE Chief Rips The Democrats: 'Don't Blame Trump, Cages Were Built By Obama's Administration'
The truth is a painful thing but in this case the truth is devastating for the Democrats. The left has gone all in on painting President Trump as a heartless monster.
The negative campaign is how they aim to beat him so anything that shatters that illusion is very damaging. Obama's former ICE chief just shattered the biggest illusion of them all – that President Trump is responsible for the 'cages' at the southern border.
The Washington Examiner reported that former President Obama's top immigration chief in charge of removing illegals stated that the "cages" Democrats have accused President Trump of housing children in were the brainchild of the Obama administration.
"I've been to that facility, where they talk about cages. That facility was built under President Obama under (Homeland Security) Secretary Jeh Johnson. I was there because I was there when it was built," said Thomas Homan, who was Obama's executive associate director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement for nearly 4 years.
At an immigration conference today, Homan, under consideration for a new position of "border czar" in the Trump administration, grew visibly angry answering a question about "cages" often cited by Democratic critics of the president.
Homan, known for running Obama's successful deportation operation, ripped the Democrats who question President Trump immigration officials on the Obama-era idea.
He cited one Democratic chairman who asked a Trump official, "You still keeping kids in cages?"
Homan, at the conference hosted by the Center for Immigration Studies, said, "I would answer the question, 'The kids are being house in the same facility built under the Obama administration.' If you want to call them cages, call them cages. But if the left wants to call them cages and the Democrats want to call them cages then they have to accept the fact that they were built and funded in FY 2015."
He also stated that the Border Patrol facilities where all illegals are initially kept "were not built to take care of children." In fact, the recent surge of younger illegals is a new trend.
Homan claimed that there are no cages but chain-link fencing that separates kids from adults, done for safety. "It's chain link dividers that keeps children separate from unrelated adults. It's about protecting children," he said.
He also suggested that the humanitarian aid bill working through Congress would help, but he said the House version amounts to "extortion" because it cuts funding for enforcement.

Cure For Cancer?
Scientists In Britain May Have Just "Accidentally" Found A Cure For Cancer
Treatment has worked on various kinds of cancers, according to study
Every once in a while, medical researchers simply have a stroke of good luck. In this case, that "stroke of good luck" could have a profound effect on the medial community.
Researchers at Cardiff University that were in the midst of analyzing blood from a bank accidentally stumbled into an "entirely new type of T-cell", according to The Daily Wire. The new cell carries a "never before seen" type of receptor that acts like a grappling hook, latching on to most human cancers.
Prior therapies, called CAR-T and TCR-T, which use immune cells to attach to HLA molecules on cancer cells' surface, are incapable of fighting solid tumors, the article notes. HLA molecules vary in people, but the new therapy instead attaches to a molecule called MR1, which does not vary in humans. This gives the therapy a chance of fighting most cancers.
It also means people could share the treatment, which could allow banks of cells to be stored and offered quickly, as needed.
The treatment has already worked on lung, skin, blood, colon, breast, bone, prostate, ovarian, kidney and cervical cancer cells. The study stated:
Human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-independent, T cell-mediated targeting of cancer cells would allow immune destruction of malignancies in all individuals. Here, we use genome-wide CRISPR-Cas9 screening to establish that a T cell receptor recognized and killed most human cancer types via the monomorphic MHC class-I related protein, MR1, while remaining inert to noncancerous cells … These finding offer opportunities for HLA-independent, pan-cancer, pan-population immunotherapies.
It concluded: "In summary, we describe a TCR that exhibits pan-cancer recognition via the variant MR1 molecule, and, by equipping patients with melanoma T cells that lacked detectable cancer reactivity with the MC.7 G5 TCR, we rendered the T-cells capable of killing autologous melanoma."
What does that mean? It means "it works". Additionally, T-Cells of skin cancer patients altered by the treatment were capable of killing the patient's cancer cells and other patients' cancer cells as well.
The lead author on the study, Andrew Sewell, said: "This was a serendipitous finding, nobody knew this cell existed. Our finding raises the prospect of a 'one-size-fits-all' cancer treatment, a single type of T-cell that could be capable of destroying many different types of cancers across the population. Previously nobody believed this could be possible."
"This new type of T-cell therapy has enormous potential to overcome current limitations of CAR-T, which has been struggling to identify suitable and safe targets for more than a few cancer types," said Professor Oliver Ottmann, Cardiff University's Head of Haematology.
Trials on terminally ill patients could start as soon as November.

They want you to believe they "ACCIDENTALLY" found a literal cure for cancer by discovering a heretofore unknown T-cell.
Yeah, no. You don't just "discover" AN ENTIRELY NEW T-CELL after 100 years of electron microscopy.
This is such a brazen cover story. So friggin' brazen.
The cure was always withheld.

stencil
=======

A minimalist template engine for Python3

The goal of Stencil is to provide just enough of a template engine in a single file.

Currently weighs in at 550 LoC (414 according to sloccount).

Quick Start
-----------

1. Make a directory for our templates:

   .. code-block:: bash

      $ mkdir tmpl

2. Create a simple template:

   .. code-block:: html

      Good morning, {{ name }}!

3. Write a script to use it

   .. code-block:: python

      import stencil

      loader = stencil.TemplateLoader(['tmpl/'])

      t = loader['index.html']
      c = stencil.Context({'name': 'Ruprect'})

      print t.render(c)
      # Should output "Good morning, Ruprect!"

Python support
--------------

As of stencil v4, there is a new expression syntax that is not backward
compatible.

As of stencil v2.1, only Python 3.6+ is supported.
As of stencil v2, only Python 3.4+ is supported.

Stencil 1.2.3 is the last stable Python 2.7 version.

See the `documentation <https://stencil-templates.readthedocs.io/en/latest/>`_ to see more details.

Walk This Way Vogue Williams enjoys post-Christmas family ramble in Scottish Highlands

Vogue Williams and her family enjoyed a winter hike in Scotland as they continue their Christmas celebrations.
The pregnant 36-year-old spent the holidays in Ireland with her husband Spencer Matthews and their children Theodore (3) and Gigi (1) instead of heading to sunny St Bart's, where they have traditionally gone for previous Christmas breaks.
Now, it appears that Vogue and the clan have trekked over to Scotland to stay at the lavish Glen Affric Estate, which is owned by Spencer's family.
The couple also tied the knot at the 10,000 acre estate back in 2018, and it has since become one of their favourite spots to visit for a holiday.
Taking to Instagram on Tuesday, Howth native Vogue shared some snaps from a family hike in the Scottish Highlands, where former Made in Chelsea star Spencer stripped down to a pair of shorts despite the temperature being as low as –2C.
Meanwhile, Vogue made sure to keep the kids wrapped up with huge coats and snowsuits, adorable bobble hats, and gloves, while she kept herself warm in a yellow Carhatt beanie.
After their walk, Vogue posted a snap of Spencer, Gigi, and Theodore posing in front of Loch Affric, writing: "Walks, walks and more walks"
It comes after Spencer and Vogue announced that they were expecting a baby boy next year.
Speaking about the exciting new addition to their family in an exclusive interview with Hello! Magazine, Spencer said: "We're having a little boy!"
Vogue added: "My sister asked Theodore if he wants to have a brother or sister and he replied: 'A brother! I don't want a sister, I already have a sister.' So, he's delighted."

The couple announced that they were expecting again earlier this year.
"It'll be the more the merrier," Vogue told Hello! back in October.
"Theodore and Gigi absolutely love each other, they're always playing together. My sister Amber is my best friend and I want the three of them to be best mates."

About 1 in 7 Michigan residents get food stamps, and 6 other facts about SNAP
By Julie Mack | jmack1@mlive.com

Nearly one of every seven Michigan residents -- including one in four Michigan children -- currently receive food stamp benefits, according to data from the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services.
The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, saw usage spike during the recent recession but the numbers are now down steadily declining.
In 2005, about 9 percent of Michigan households participated in SNAP, according to U.S. Census estimates.
That increased to 19 percent by the end of 2010, the Census data shows.
Currently, about 15 percent of Michigan residents -- slightly under 1.5 million people -- receive benefits, including 27 percent of Michigan children under age 18.
Here are six more facts about SNAP, pulled from state and federal statistics.
1. Recipients get an average benefit of about $4 per day.
The monthly maximum allotment is $194 per month per person, but the average Michigan recipient gets about $122, state figures show.
The average number of recipients per case is 1.9 people. SNAP's income limit for a two-member household is $20,709.
SNAP households are expected to spend about 30 percent of their net income on food, with SNAP benefits filling in the gap.
2. SNAP spent $2.1 billion in fiscal 2015 for Michigan recipients, but the current cost is down 31 percent from December 2010.
State data shows the number of recipients and the average benefit have both been trending downward.
Between December 2010 and March 2016, the number of Michigan recipients dropped 23 percent, from 1,925,594 to 1,485,784, and the total monthly cost of Michigan benefits dropped 31 percent, from $261 million to $181 million.

3. A majority of SNAP households include either a child and/or senior citizen.
In 2014, 46 percent of Michigan households with SNAP benefits had at least one child under 18 and 28 percent of the households had at least one resident age 60 or older, according to U.S. Census numbers.
Currently, about 607,000 children are SNAP recipients, about 27 percent of Michigan's under-18 population.
4. Nearly half of SNAP households include a family member with a disability.
An estimated 49 percent of SNAP households in Michigan included a member with a disability in 2014, according to Census data.
The Census uses a broad definition of disability, which includes physical, mental and emotional impairments that interfere with the activities of daily living, including climbing stairs or lifting a bag of groceries.
5. About three-quarters of SNAP families have had a household member in the workforce during the past year.
Among Michigan families receiving SNAP in 2014, 49 percent had one person who worked outside the home during the previous 12 months and 26 percent had two or more workers.
The average income of a SNAP household in Michigan was $18,088 in 2014, and 52 percent of the households were living below the poverty level.
6. A majority of SNAP recipients are white, although minorities were proportionally more likely to receive benefits.
About 62 percent of Michigan's SNAP households were white, 32 percent were African-American and 5 percent were Hispanic in 2014, Census data shows.
Among the total population, 80 percent of Michigan residents are white, 14 percent are African-American and 5 percent are Hispanic.

What Can I Do with My International Economics Major?
International economics majors examine the ways that economics influence the interdependent nature of the world. By evaluating the many systems – such as markets, corporations, and unions – that continually affect the international arena, students develop a strong ability to objectively analyze the role of economics on both political and social levels. Operating from the belief that economics and world affairs are inextricably linked, students also gain a vast and deep understanding for the importance of economics in global conflicts and stabilization. Majoring in international economics thus prepares students to apply their expertise to a wide variety of global issues, ranging from international policy to regional economies and more.
International economics majors, like all students within the Edmund A. Walsh School of Foreign Service, develop acute analytical and critical thinking skills. In addition, they are required to develop proficiency in at least one foreign language during their time as an undergraduate – a skill that often makes them more competitive upon graduation. With an emphasis on excellent communication skills and objective analysis, students graduating from the School of Foreign Service are well-prepared for careers in both the public and private sectors, as well as success in both graduate and law school.

To emphasize the frenzied violence of the mocking of Christ, Niklaus Manuel Deutsch devised a dynamic radial composition with Christ's luminous, haloed head as the focal point of attacks from all sides. He also included a framing line, to which he wittily called attention by extending the soldier's foot outside its bounds at the bottom.
Northern European artists frequently made drawings on colored grounds to be sold to collectors as independent works of art. Manuel Deutsch and such contemporaries as Albrecht Dürer and Albrecht Aldorfer employed the technique of drawing on a deeply colored ground with white strokes delineating contours or modeling figures. Ordinarily, they used a sharp quill pen and a fine pointed brush, which they handled with such control that the thinness of its strokes could rival or outstrip those of the pen.
For this drawing, the artist prepared a red-brown ground, then drew the scene in black ink. Next he brushed in the lavish white heightening, refined additional details in black ink, and touched in Christ's halo with gold pigment.
