Context Machine: Estimating Asset Manager Technology Spending
In this 48-page, 35-exhibit study, Alphacution goes to new lengths to apply the axiom that effective management requires effective measurement – and begins the process of supporting its hypothesis that there are persistent – and ultimately, predictable – relationships between trading and operational factors for asset managers. With most asset managers being private, support for this hypothesis also means that technology spending – a rarely observable data item in this universe – can be estimated with more readily observable and contextual data about AUM and employee headcount. Moreover, it turns out that by understanding the relative positioning of technology capital (via spending patterns) with that of human capital, we achieve an unprecedented and quantitative level of understanding about the underlying scope of automation embedded in that firm's strategy selections. These findings ultimately give birth to Alphacution's Asset Manager Ecosystem Map, and the deeper exploration into its structural alpha, active management, and passive management zones. The complete case study is available to premium and silver subscribers or via individual report purchase.

IT Services and Strategic Impacts for Global Banks: The Force Multiplier
This 33-page, 29-exhibit report - distributed under our alliance with Aite Group - applies Alphacution's modeling methodologies to the global IT services sector and leverages that output to showcase the evolving role that IT services plays for global banks: Today, outsourced IT services are firmly embedded in all industries and most large corporations. Alphacution's message to financial sector clients and other buyers of IT services is both blessing and curse: The global IT services sector continues to be dominated by lowest-cost, predominantly India-based human capital, and the motivation to engage with these services continues to be, as it seems to have been all along, about labor arbitrage, or the savings harvested from the reduction of high-cost, U.S.- or U.K.-based in-house human capital in favor of lowest-cost, leased human capital. Although the expectation to improve performance—via higher-quality output, more efficient output, or some other cocktail of innovation—is rarely made explicit, we believe that the potential for enhanced process efficiencies adds value to the equation. This is the blessing part. The potential curse is more nuanced...

Introducing the T-Greeks: Techno-Operational Analytics For Financial Services Enterprises
This 36-page, 29-exhibit study – a version of which was published under a data and analytics partnership with Aite Group in October 2016 entitled, "Return on Technology and the T-Greeks Framework: In the Beginning…" – introduces a new way of examining IT spending behavior within the financial services industry. It turns out that it does not matter what a firm spends on technology, after all. What actually matters most is what a firm receives for its investment in technology. In this report, Alphacution outlines its discovery that the return on technology (RoT) concept is quantifiable by normalizing and benchmarking the difference between performance (i.e., total net revenue) and the component cost of that performance (i.e., total technology spending). The four primary technology spending categories used in this modeling framework include 1) hardware and other infrastructure, 2) software and other data-processing functionality, including both internally generated and purchased software solutions, 3) IT-related human capital, including both technology and data management personnel, and 4) third-party data subscriptions. There are currently five closely related analytics within Alphacution's T-Greeks framework, namely T-Spread, T-Beta, T-Alpha, T-Theta, and T-Vol. Finally, this study demonstrates that T-Greeks are actionable now. They can be strategically used to more efficiently monitor and navigate the ongoing business transformation process. Moreover, these analytics and benchmarks can be used for more tactical transformation, ultimately providing more detailed visibility for solution selection, shifts in the mix of human capital skills, and workflow re-engineering and replacement.

Quantifying the Transformation: Benchmarking Enterprise TCO for Global Banks
This 48-page, 36-exhibit report, which was initially published under a distribution rights agreement with Thomson Reuters in 2016, represents the first major study from Alphacution's newly launched research platform. The findings in this content are based on the modeling of technology spending and other operational analytics from 58 of the largest banks in the world (representing 16 countries and 11 currencies) over the 11-year period 2005 to 2015. Chapter themes in this report include key drivers of the Global Financial Landscape, introduction and explanation of Alphacution's Standardized TCO Framework, detailed review of the Analytical Foundation supporting Alphacution's technology spending estimates, TCO Benchmark construction from various perspectives, and finally, the use of this modeling output to enhance Tactical Transformation as well as concluding remarks on one of Alphacution's core research themes, "Return on Technology." It turns out that what is most important about analyzing technology spending patterns is not the absolute spend, but the what firm receive for that spend.

Home / Winners in 2022 Jamaica Information Service Heritage Competition Awarded
By Chris A. Grant December 28, 2022 Jamaica scholarshipsHeritage Competition, Jamaica Information Service
Winners in 2022 Jamaica Information Service Heritage Competition were awarded for their outstanding essays, posters, graphics & photographic entries.
Students responding to the invitation from the Jamaica Information Service (JIS) to highlight the country's most significant post-Independence achievement by participating in the agency's 2022 Heritage Competition were awarded for their outstanding essays, posters, graphics, and photographic entries.
Sixteen finalists, representing primary, secondary and tertiary institutions, received their prizes during an awards ceremony at the Terra Nova All-Suite Hotel in St. Andrew, on Wednesday (December 14).
Their submissions depicted elements of culture, such as sports and music, the development of education, and the advancement of women, which were among the areas of significant achievement for Jamaica over the past 60 years.
The category winners were Essay – Shadair Green, Chetwood Memorial Primary School; Graphics – Jonovi Gayle, Cornwall College; Poster (grades 7-9), D'André Granston, Cornwall College; Poster (grades 10-13), John-Michael Ramsay, Herbert Morrison Technical High School, and Photography – Roshielle Powell, University of the West Indies (UWI), Mona Campus.
They were presented with trophies, cash, vacations, gift baskets, brunch tickets, plaques, free courses, certificates, among other prizes. Keynote speaker, Minister without Portfolio in the Office of the Prime Minister with Responsibility for Information, Hon. Robert Morgan, congratulated the finalists and commended the JIS for "creating a space where young people can express themselves through their artistic talents".
He underscored the importance of self-expression to the development of society, as well as the need for citizens to be able to reason critically. "It is for this reason that I believe that JIS has a role in the society of creating an environment where we empower people to critically analyse information to come to their own conclusions," the Minister stated.
Mr. Morgan also urged the youngsters not to detract from their ability to make critical analyses but, instead, to enhance it.
He further expressed the hope that the JIS Heritage competition will become "a kind of standard, within the government service, of a competition that places the artistic expression of young people front and centre for the nation to see".
In her remarks, JIS Acting Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Enthrose Campbell, who also commended the finalists, welcomed the awards ceremony's full reversion to an in-person engagement. This, she noted, following its execution as a made-for-television event and then as limited in-person engagement over the past two years, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Consequently, she added, "we are happy to be back to some sort of normalcy".Ms. Campbell, who said most of the entries were received from western Jamaica, noted that "some students were clear in their answers", while pointing out that others may have been challenged by the numerous achievements and opted to focus on multiple accomplishments. Others, she added, "focused on the single most important achievement".
The CEO thanked the planning committee, judges, sponsors, teachers, and parents for contributing to making the event a success. Established in 2011, the competition is a platform for young people to voice their opinions on issues of national importance and widen their knowledge about the country's heritage.
For 2022, primary-level students, aged nine to 12, were asked to submit an essay, comprising 400 to 500 words, explaining what they think is "Jamaica's Greatest Achievement over the Past 60 Year"'. Submissions were judged on relevance to the topic, originality, accuracy and analysis of research data, writing style and language skills.
Secondary-level students were asked to use graphics or illustrations to design a poster, no larger than 11 inches x 17 inches, depicting the topic. Meanwhile, tertiary students were required to submit a photographic interpretation, and were judged on understanding of the topic, originality, composition, technique, and impact.
Sponsors this year were Boone Hall Oasis; Caribbean School of Media and Communication (CARIMAC), CPTC/Media Technology Institute, Edna Manley College of the Visual and Performing Arts, Frame Art Jamaica, Franklyn D. Resort, GK Insurance, Innovative Corporate Solutions, GraceKennedy Limited, WB Trophies Limited, and T Cell and More.

Men's Soccer: Badgers rally behind Cowdroy, draw with Maryland in double OT
Following 90-minute rain delay and tension-filled game, Badgers draw with reigning national champion Maryland
by Justin Lariviere · Sep 30, 2019 Share Tweet
Quinn Beaupre/The Badger Herald
The University of Wisconsin men's soccer team (2-6-1, 0-0-1 Big Ten) backed into Friday's contest against Maryland (4-3-1, 0-1-1), having lost four straight games with only a single goal scored throughout the slump.
The reigning national champs came to the McClimon Soccer Complex, and the Badgers fought through rain to force a double overtime draw — the score line 0–0.

Wisconsin was desperate for momentum following a losing streak that appeared, on paper, to have eliminated the high hopes for the team coming into 2019.
The Badgers were met with immediate adversity however, as the Terrapins — Terps for short — applied early attacking pressure, getting 12 shots off and forcing goalie Dean Cowdroy to defend multiple set pieces.
Cowdroy once again provided first-half heroics, recording six saves and keeping the Badgers level, despite a limited offensive presence — now the official Achilles heel of this Wisconsin team. The Badgers also struggled to control the ball and were dominated in possession time through the first 45 minutes.

The second half saw the Terps down to 10 men, as a red card in minute 40 for Malcolm Johnston meant the Badgers had player leverage the rest of the way.
Wisconsin capitalized on the advantage, recording 11 shots to Maryland's five and balancing the flow of possession in the second half. Cowdroy tallied three additional saves in the second frame to keep the outnumbered Terps from seizing the lead.
Then came the rain. Officials determined conditions were not sufficient for play to continue and suspended action for an hour and a half as overtime loomed. Both teams receded to the locker rooms and prepared for extra time.

After 90 minutes of play and another 90 of delay, the score remained level at 0–0. The two sides tiptoed through the opening period of OT but still failed to produce a goal. After zero shots were attempted, another period was necessary.
Wisconsin managed two shots to Maryland's one in the second overtime, but ultimately the conditions and strong defensive play ensured the outcome remained even at zero goals a piece.
Though the Badgers only managed a draw on Friday, a result like this could be crucial for momentum as the remaining conference games approach.
This marks the second year running in which the Badgers have played an otherwise formidable Maryland team surprisingly well, as they upset the Terps last season en route to an impressive regular season. Moving forward, Wisconsin will hope to use the result to catalyze their attacking half and mimic the run of success from last season's campaign.
The Badgers' next test will be at in-state rival UW-Milwaukee (4-5-0, 1-2-0 Horizon), before Big Ten play resumes Oct. 6 with opponent Michigan State.

Tom Holland Had to Talk Down a Panicking Jake Gyllenhaal on Set

"I found myself on day one working with one of my idols like, 'It's okay man, It's okay. Like this is just how it goes over here in the Marvel world.'"
He was acting in films five years before Tom Holland was even born.
But Jake Gyllenhaal needed a pep talk from his younger "Spider-Man: Far From Home" co-star after a late script change left the Oscar-nominee panicking.
"I've always been such a big fan of his work, and I really, really looked up to him," the 23-year-old told Seth Meyers on Tuesday night. "And when I found out that he was cast, I was quite nervous about the idea of working with him."

"And then he came to set for his first day of shooting, and what Marvel do[es] sometimes they will completely change the lines over night."
The Brit, who is about to appear in his fifth film as Peter Parker, is by now well used to the craziness of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and its comic-book narratives. Jake, who is making his MCU debut as Mysterio, is not.
"So you walk in on Monday morning, and all of the sudden you have a three page monologue about inter-dimensional rifts and all this kind of crazy stuff," Tom laughed.
"So Jake was like... he was like panicking. So, I found myself on day one working with one of my idols like, 'It's okay man, It's okay. Like this is just how it goes over here in the Marvel world.' So, it was really weird."
The young actor also revealed he even ghosted another Hollywood heavyweight — Robert Downey Jr — albeit accidentally.
He said his Avengers co-star — who is saved in his phone as "The Godfather" — recently tried to Face-time him; but the 2AM time difference in London had him groggily send RDJ straight to voicemail.

"I didn't even check to see who it was," he sheepishly recalled. "I was like, 'ugh who is that?' And I like hung up."
"So, I woke up and like panicked. I was like, 'Oh my god! I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to ghost you!' And he obviously didn't reply for ages because of the time difference in LA. So, that was maybe the most stressful day of my life where I thought my relationship with Downey was over."
During his "Late Night" chat, Tom also revealed an unforeseen difficulty of wearing the web-slinger's suit: not being able to use Instagram.
"I have no skin showing. I'm straight up, head-to-toe, in Lycra. I don't even have my fingers... I can't even use my phone! And I'm 23, like I use my phone a lot!
"I've become so good at like, liking pictures with my nose," he added.

July 25, 2014• China• by QFinance
With its economy flat lining and being held up by oil and gas exports, Russia desperately needs to increase the scale of those exports. On the face of it the massive $400 billion deal Russia signed with China on 21 May, for a 30 year gas supply contract, looks just the ticket to deliver that increase over the long haul. However, the deal has a number of non-trivial obstacles to overcome, chief of which are disagreements between China and Russia over pricing and the difficulty Russia may find in funding the required pipeline.
The stakes are high, and not just for Russia. A Reuters article argues that the deal could well bring down gas prices across Asia, pointing out that this would be a huge plus for Japan, China's long time rival and the world's biggest buyer of liquefied natural gas (LNG). To make the deal work, Russia will need to build a new pipeline linking its Siberian gas fields to Chinese cities. The idea is for gas to start to flow through the pipeline from 2018, building up to a steady 38 billion cubic meters per year.
Reuters quotes a possible price between the parties as translating to around $10.00 to $10.50 per million British thermal units (mbtu). If this is true, it will work out to around $3 less than the current average price for Asian gas, which is around $13.00 per mbtu, spelling the end for the so-called "Asian premium" on gas prices. Reuters comes at the deal from the idea that plentiful cheaper Russian supplies will put downward pressure on LNG pricing. Since Japan spent $70 billion in 2013 on LNG shipments to replace nuclear power generation after the Fukushima core meltdown, and currently has to pay top prices for LNG, the Chinese will in effect be extending a helping hand to one of their biggest commercial rivals.
However, in an insightful blog, the oil and gas expert Dr Kent Moors points out that while the Russia-China deal may well turn out to be everything Russia hopes it will be, there are issues. The deal, as is usual with Russian gas deals, is in the form of a take-or-pay contract. This means that China has to commit to taking a certain quantity of gas each month or pay as if it had taken the entire quantity. The problem with this, Moors points out, is that "China does not need, nor can it absorb, the volume called for in this deal". He continues:
"At present, gas accounts for no more than 30% of China's energy needs. What's more, that total is already completely met for at least the next six years, with a combination of domestic production (which is going to increase - China has the largest extractable shale gas reserve in the world) and ongoing import accords with Turnkmenistan and Myanmar. Also, the infrastructure [in China] does not even exist to use what Russia expects to sell. It might in a decade, but Gazprom needs the revenue now."
Then there is the fact that Russia is also in talks with Japan and Korea to provide them with major gas flows. Its most cost-effective way of doing this would be to have a single pipeline to China with branches off to Korea and Japan. But, according to Moors, China wants a dual pipeline all to itself, so Gazprom is probably looking at having to fund an exceedingly large capital expenditure program in order to turn all of this into a reality - all of this in a flat Russian economy.
To make matters even tougher, Moors' recent blogs argue that, since Putin's Ukraine adventure and the annexation of Crimea, Gazprom is now under attack from the West which is actively seeking to block Gazprom deals and pipeline routes any which way it can, in order to put pressure on Putin to rein in Russian nationalism.
What Moors feels is certain is that, as he puts it, "the fulcrum of the global energy trade is gravitating to the Asian and Pacific market". The big unresolved question is whether this burgeoning demand - intensified by the continent's drive to move away from the destructive use of inferior grades of coal - will be met with pipelined gas, or via LNG tanker transport.

Randomly Firing Neurons was a saying an old friend used to use when we'd be shooting off topics right and left, "Oh yeah, I meant to ask you…wait…I forgot….I also was going to tell you about….Oh and did you read…what do you think about…" very random and not at all related to anything in particular. I always liked her phrase. It explains exactly how my brain works!
"Coming out of Christianity and into Christ" was a search topic that lead someone to my blog! And I just have to say – THAT is a great topic. What a great idea to mull over and think and pray about. Coming out of Christianity and into Christ….wow. I like it. I'm going to use that in a post soon. Maybe someone just broke free from legalism. Praise be to God!
A really good friend has been helping me process some things that have been going on, behind the scenes so to speak. There's just a whole LOT that I DON"T blog about. Can you imagine if I blogged about everything?? OMG. That'd be insane. Anyway he emailed last night and was explaining that people, in general, need to be really aware of how our body responds to what we are thinking about/doing. He said, "Me, personally, I find strong feelings in my mind/heart when I help knowledge expand in 3rd person and mind/upper gut when I gain knowledge in 1st person." Does that ring a chord with anyone? It sure did with me. I understood exactly what he was saying. I am going to spend the next day really thinking and being aware of how my body responds to knowledge gained and knowledge expanded. Two different things. But it has to be on a very kinesthetic level – the responses I'm looking for. I'm sure I've lost you all by now.
My house is a mess again and I don't really know where to start. So instead, I'm blogging about it and everything else I can think of to procrastinate.
I have the opportunity to go to the Cecchetti Summer Intensive Seminar for Teachers in Holland, MI at Hope College in July. If I volunteer as a chaperone, I will be compensated with free tuition, room and board. The camp would cost me $1100 if I were to pay out of pocket. I will mostly be working during the day but they do make time for the Teacher/Chaperones to take classes. So, it's a win/win. Plus – it's a TWO WEEK SABBATICAL for me! Here's the symbolic part. July is a big month for me. Huge. I had already been praying about taking some time off in July. To just go have some personal time. Alone. Away from my family. As a time of reflection and for time with God. I just didn't know where to go – what to do – how to do it. And then, literally the next day after I had just prayed about it…I had been thinking about it for a few days…but the next day – the door opened for the possibility of me going to Michigan for 2 weeks in July. 15 days all together. And last night – Royce said, "OK. See if we can work out the details and I guess you better start saving for an airplane ticket." I just have to get myself up there – all my other needs are taken care of. And I didn't even tell Royce about the "sabbatical" aspect of it. I just played it off as uber-important to my ballet teaching career. 🙂 He reads the blog now, regularly, so he'll figure it out soon enough. But he knows. He knows July is a hard month.
Anyone know anything about Somatic Release?

Prashant Kumar "Fanney Khan" (Anil Kapoor), a part-time vocalist in an orchestra, dreams of becoming a singer but circumstances prevent him from being one. He rushes to the hospital and holds his newborn daughter, whom he names Lata, which is the name of famous singer Lata Mangeshkar.
Lata has a really good voice but she is made fun of because she is overweight. She is a big fan of Baby Singh (Aishwarya Rai Bachchan), a famous singer, who is fed up of her life and wants a break. Prashant's factory is closed and he starts working as a taxi driver.
One day, coincidentally, Baby Singh travels in Prashant's taxi. When she asks for water, Prashant mixes sleeping pills in the water bottle. He calls his best friend Adhir (Rajkummar Rao) and tells him that he is kidnapping Baby Singh to release an album of his daughter. With a lot of request, Adhir agrees to help him.
During this incident, Adhir and Baby Singh become really good friends. Adhir finally takes her out and she starts enjoying herself. She also thanks him for bringing her dog, Ustaad, who she considers to be her true friend but problems arise when Prashant watches the TV where police get to know that Baby Singh is kidnapped as the watchman of Baby Singh's house reveals that he saw a man(Adhir) kidnap her dog.
Prashant asks Baby's director to release an album of his daughter but wears a mask of Rajnikant. Lata is really excited about her own album and after recording, she talks about her experience from which, the director gets to know that her father is the kidnapper and he is famous with the name of Fanney Khan. He recognizes him in their next meeting. Prashant finally removes his mask and reveals that he can trust him and his friend Adhir.
Lata is replaced by Baby Singh to perform in Reality Show(India ki Awaaz). Meanwhile, Adhir and Baby are nowhere to be found. Police and TV reporters agree to cast him live with his daughter before she performs. Lata realizes that the song she is going to sing was written by her father. She sings and makes her parents feel proud.
Later, a video releases where Baby and Adhir are in a live-in relationship and are on vacation. They both admit that they are a big fan of Lata Sharma. The film ends with the society praising Lata and the hard work done by Prashant to make his daughter a singer.

Prince Andrew plans to challenge a US court's jurisdiction over a civil lawsuit by a woman who accused him of sexually assaulting and battering her two decades ago, according to court papers. In papers filed with the US District Court in Manhattan on Monday, a lawyer for Andrew said the prince also plans to contest that he was properly served with the lawsuit by Virginia Giuffre, who has said she was also abused by the financier Jeffrey Epstein. Lawyers for Giuffre did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Andrew, 61, is one of the most prominent people linked to Epstein, who US prosecutors charged in July 2019 with sexually exploiting dozens of girls and women. Epstein, a registered sex offender, killed himself at age 66 in a Manhattan jail on August 10, 2019. Giuffre has accused Andrew of forcing her in 2001, when she was 17, to have unwanted sexual intercourse at the London home of Ghislaine Maxwell, the British socialite and Epstein's longtime associate. Giuffre also said Andrew abused her at Epstein's mansion on Manhattan's Upper East Side, and on a private island Epstein owned in the US Virgin Islands. Andrew has denied Giuffre's claims of sexual abuse. Australian Associated Press

In papers filed with the US District Court in Manhattan on Monday, a lawyer for Andrew said the prince also plans to contest that he was properly served with the lawsuit by Virginia Giuffre, who has said she was also abused by the financier Jeffrey Epstein.
Lawyers for Giuffre did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
Andrew, 61, is one of the most prominent people linked to Epstein, who US prosecutors charged in July 2019 with sexually exploiting dozens of girls and women.
Epstein, a registered sex offender, killed himself at age 66 in a Manhattan jail on August 10, 2019.
Giuffre has accused Andrew of forcing her in 2001, when she was 17, to have unwanted sexual intercourse at the London home of Ghislaine Maxwell, the British socialite and Epstein's longtime associate.
Giuffre also said Andrew abused her at Epstein's mansion on Manhattan's Upper East Side, and on a private island Epstein owned in the US Virgin Islands.
Andrew has denied Giuffre's claims of sexual abuse.


Ricardo on duty on the Bridge, keeping a lookout for whales and icebergs.
After four busy days at South Georgia we had a very relaxed day at sea. The sea started off rather bumpy and continued to build throughout the day which gave us some extra time to relax in bed. Thankfully most of us didn't have to work in the swell, unlike much of the crew who had to keep on working through, particularly the galley staff who were kept busy preparing food for meals.
For the guests the day started with a lecture by Tom Ritchie on Shackleton, the man who became a legend. Many onboard had already shown a keen interest in Shackleton, so the talk was great to fill in some of the blanks guests may have had about Shackleton.
After lunch, Conor gave his talk on "The Life of a Whaler." For many decades, South Georgia was a very important island for whale hunting, with reports that whalers didn't even need to leave the bays of the whaling stations for the first year of whaling because there were so many whales.
The sea continued to build throughout the afternoon and outdoor decks were closed for safety reasons. After dinner, Jonathan and Rich did a short critique session on some images guests had submitted for appraisal from the first half of the trip.

Camaraderie and the Holistic Holiday
by Holistic Holiday at Sea | May 22, 2014 | Uncategorized
Adhering to a holistically healthy lifestyle these days can be difficult. Every moment, convenience and social convention encourage and reinforce unhealthy behavior, tempting us away from our wellness goals.
That's why the camaraderie that permeates the Holistic Holiday at Sea is so important. Board the ship and you'll sense it right away: people get each other. Presenters and passengers all know what it's like to pursue personal wellness in a society less similarly inclined. Wherever you are on your journey towards good health, to be among so many other like-minded people—exchanging ideas, information, and stories of failure and success—is an uplifting experience with the power to sustain you far after the cruise is over.
Lynn Rivers follows the macrobiotic lifestyle and has enjoyed several Holistic Holidays. Rivers says, "When I come back here and I listen to the speakers again, it reiterates why macrobiotics makes so much sense to me and then I kind of pull myself back to that." Another cruise-goer makes a similar observation: people "come back every year just to get that kind of boost again to keep them on track." Hearing from the authorities on plant-based diet and eating plant-based food at every meal helps refine and reify one's dietary beliefs, refocusing and fortifying one for the day-to-day challenges of sticking to a wellness plan.
During the 2014 Holistic Holiday, first-time cruiser Justin Beck wanted to find a way to better incorporate relaxation and meditation into his daily life. For Beck, it was a talk by Dr. Howard Jacobson about motivation that inspired the necessaryconfidence. Jacobson suggested the setting of small goals—to "floss one tooth everyday or write one sentence in a journal," as Beck remembers—in order to avoid discouragement and build momentum towards larger achievements. Beck left the cruise with a helpful strategy for enacting changes in his life.
For a boost of inspiration, cruise-goers can look to Holistic Holiday mainstay, Chef AJ, who cooks her meals with no sugar, oil, or salt. Hers is a diet that, to many, seems extreme. Can she eat at restaurants? What does she do at parties or when travelling? Isn't the food bland? Yet Chef AJ makes it work, "pre-eating" before going out, bringing a pressure cooker with her when far from home, and learning to appreciate the natural saltiness of a piece of celery. Chef AJ proves that with ingenuity, motivation, and a sense of humor, even a radical diet is fully possible to follow.
The cruise is, in the words of chef and author Bryant Terry, an "opportunity for people to recommit to their health and wellbeing." It takes determination and self-assuredness to find and stick to a lifestyle that you believe in. The Holistic Holiday at Sea has the meals, the classes, and, most importantly, the people you need to strengthen your resolve and remember why you care about plant-based food.

Since May 2005, the Crescenta-Cañada YMCA has offered Live Scan service. It is a quick and convenient way for individuals and organizations to perform fingerprint background checks. "I believe that this project has been a true coming together of community resources and community needs," Chief Executive Officer Larry Hall said. "We are pleased to have partnered with the Glendale Community Foundation and the Paul A. Hughes Family Foundation in this endeavor."
Until the purchase of the Live Scan machine, the Crescenta-Cañada YMCA relied on manual fingerprinting for its employees and volunteer staff. Where live scanning was required, applicants were forced to go to Pasadena City College or the city of Glendale as the closest Live Scan facilities. "We are very happy to be able to offer this service to the organizations in our community that need to run background checks," added Hall. "Previously, people had to venture outside our community for these services, and now they are available right next door at the local Y."
For more information on the Crescenta-Cañada YMCA's fingerprinting services, or to set up a Live Scan appointment, call 790-0123.
So much contributes to stress in adults, and new research is always examining ways for adults to combat stress. But recent studies have shown that even young babies can feel stressed. The simple processes of birth and growth can create tension in the youngest of children.
The Crescenta-Cañada YMCA is now offering infant massage classes, a new way to relieve stress in infants.
Mondays, July 17 and 24, parents and caregivers can learn the benefits and techniques to help babies relax and develop. Massage can also offer relief from colic, while helping with digestion in young bodies. Finally, massage provides benefits for bonding between parent and child.

The Baseball United Foundation has launched an initiative to provide remote instruction to baseball players throughout the world, ages 12-17.
Parents and coaches are being asked to record 15-20 seconds of video footage on their cell phones. The video is then uploaded to the cloud (Google Drive, Dropbox, or similar).
Once the footage is stored on the cloud, we download it and give it to a certified coach for analysis. The coach provides audio commentary and visual aids to explain key concepts to the player.
This initiative has been launched with the help of coach Darren Gurney. Since 1992, Coach Gurney has coached over twenty players who were selected in the MLB Draft or who went on to play professional baseball.
His instructional baseball book, Covering All the Bases, has received national recognition and rave reviews from two NY Times' columnists. Recently, Coach Gurney published Pro Pitching Drills an instructional DVD with Miami Marlins' starting pitcher Tom Koehler.

Avalon Theisen and her Froggy Projects - SAVE THE FROGS!
salamander to represent it! Some people have worked really hard to get the Barking treefrog (Hyla gratiosa) to be the Florida State Amphibian for years, and they have raised a lot of awareness. I don't know why it hasn't happened yet, but I believe the more support and petition signatures we get, the better chance we have. We need to keep trying!
Barking treefrogs are very beautiful, but though I hear them sometimes, I have almost never seen one in nature. I think that the State Amphibian should be one that most people have seen and heard, and that is why I started my own petition to help Florida get a State Amphibian, preferably the Southern toad (Anaxyrus terrestris). You can sign online at http://tinyurl.com/FLStateAmphibianWithAvalon, and in person at my booths and presentations. You can also download a petition on my website, so you can collect your own signatures if you are in Florida.

If you are in the Tampa Bay area, we hope to see you at Camp Bayou Outdoor Learning Center, from 10am-1:30pm on April 27th. You can pre-register at my organization's website, www.ConserveItForward.org.
Last year, I sent in packages to the Mayor of Tampa and the Governor of Florida, asking them to officially recognize Save The Frogs Day. Mayor Bob Buckhorn was awesome in issuing a Proclamation, but I was not successful with our Governor. This year, I tried again, and I hope to have good news to report in a future blog entry!
I love what I do because I feel it helps the world be a better place. Last month, I traveled to Asheville, NC where I walked the green carpet and was awarded the Roosevelt-Ashe Conservation Award in the category of Outstanding Youth in Conservation, by Wild South. Just this week, I attended the Hillsborough County Commissioners' meeting where I was given the Youth Excellence and Achievement Award for Community Service. I am so honored to be given these awards because they help raise more awareness for amphibian conservation action.
I hope you all have a great Save the Frogs Day! I invite you to visit me online at www.ConserveItForward.org, and "like" us on Facebook at www.FB.com/ConserveItForwardWithAvalon. Peace & love to you all!

I'm sitting down at a Starbucks near my school when all of the sudden a lady leans over and starts talking to me. We strike up a conversation and before long she agreed to do an interview with me. This interview is the first in one month special all about the homeless in Portland. The following is Ms. Buttle's account of her life and story. Not fact checking has been done and she is the only source on this story.
All her life, Cathryn Buttle has been labeled as being 'different'. Most people see her as being mentally ill while Buttle knows she's special in a completely different fashion.
From a young age, Buttle has felt something special about her. This feeling resides in the form of psychic capabilities. Although it is unclear how much of this is truly valid, we do know this: when she was in her 20s, her doctor diagnosed her as being mentally ill. And they "piled on the medication." Soon, Buttle got dependent on the medication and decided to move out of her home that was "haunted" and opted to live on the street. This initial decision to medicate Buttle came after a series of near death events that could be attributed to mental illness. In one instance she got hit by a car when she wandered aimlessly down the middle of a busy street in the middle of the night. Another time she passed out and started seizing at school. Although there may have been some underlying mental health issues, the amount and kinds of medication prescribed has left Buttle in a very difficult situation.
Several years after she was misdiagnosed, she signed up for a program at OHSU (Oregon Health Sciences University) to test her mental well being.
Cathryn Buttle currently battling breast cancer.
This is an intense story. May Catherine be given love and support by strangers like you.
Treatment for the mentally ill has been cut consistently over the past 30 years. How do I know? I have a family member who has mental health issues and have seen many closures of hospitals, clinics and residences over the years.

Objectives. This study sought to assess the behavior of unheralded complex lesions in patients with no previous history of acute coronary ischemia.
Background. Angiographically complex coronary stenoses appear to originate from plaque disruption and are associated with rapid progression early and late after acute coronary events. Complex lesions may occur without symptoms, but neither the incidence nor the behavior of these unheralded complex lesions is known.
Methods. We studied 222 patients with chronic stable angina who were on a waiting list for single-vessel percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty of an unoccluded lesion and underwent repeat angiography immediately before the procedure as part of routine practice or shortly after a coronary event. Patients with a previous episode of myocardial infarction or unstable angina were not included. Angiograms were analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively using established methods. A change of ±15% stenosis severity or total coronary occlusion defined categoric change.
Results. At first angiography, there were 52 unheralded complex target lesions (23%) and 170 smooth target stenoses (77%). Stenosis severity did not differ between complex and smooth target lesions at first and second angiography at a mean (±SD) interval of 7 ± 4 months. At follow-up, seven complex lesions had progressed (14%) compared with six smooth lesions (4%, p < 0.02). Total occlusion developed in four complex lesions and one smooth lesion. Overall, complex stenoses progressed by 3 ± 13% compared with 0.5 ± 7% in the smooth stenoses (p = 0.15). Complex stenoses were 4.2 times more likely to progress than smooth stenoses (95% confidence interval 1.2 to 15.2 [Cornfields method]). Clinical events developed in seven patients. One complex lesion regressed and became smooth, and three smooth stenoses became complex at follow-up.
Conclusions. Morphologically complex stenosis can develop without an episode of acute coronary ischemia and are relatively common in patients awaiting single-vessel angioplasty. Our study demonstrates that like their clinically heralded counterparts, these unheralded complex stenoses are at higher risk of progression than smooth stenoses.

'Conversion therapy' on adults is legal in all 50 states—and California may change that
A bill passed in the state assembly to ban any attempt to 'cure' queerness.

Nico Lang— 2018-04-22 05:30 am
From our friends at
Ten states currently have laws on the books prohibiting conversion therapy for LGBTQ minors, including the District of Columbia. But to date, none have passed legislation which also prohibits queer and trans adults from being subjected to the discredited practice.
California may be the first to change that.
The California Assembly passed a bill on Thursday banning orientation change efforts on people over the age of 18. Under Assembly Bill 2943, any attempt to "cure" the gender identity or sexual orientation of am LGBTQ individual of any age would henceforth be classified as consumer fraud. An estimated 600,000 Americans—both youth and adults—are survivors of the practice.
"Existing law authorizes any consumer who suffers damages as a result of these unlawful practices to bring an action against that person to recover damages, among other things," reads AB 2943.
The unprecedented legislation received wide bipartisan support in California's lower house—passing by a 50 to 14 vote.
In addition to being co-authored by eight members of the California Assembly's Legislative LGBTQ Caucus, the bill recieved the support of the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), the California Medical Association (CMA), the California Psychological Association (CPA), and Consumer Attorneys of California (CAC).
Nearly every leading public health organization in the U.S., including the American Medical Association and American Psychiatric Association, has condemned conversion therapy as dangerous and ineffective at its stated goal.
Calling the practice "harmful" and "unnecessary," Assemblymember Evan Low (D-Campbell) testified about being a gay teenager struggling with his sexuality. At the nadir of his depression, Low said he sought out conversion therapy as a potential option to ease his suffering.
"There's nothing wrong with me," he told colleagues on the Assembly floor in an emotionally charged address. "There's nothing that needs to be changed."
Critics voiced concerns that AB 2943 would infringe on religious freedom. Assemblywoman Susan Eggman (D-Stockton) clarified that the bill wouldn't stop religious organizations from "[trying] to pray the gay away," but would prevent them from claiming prayer had the ability to convert someone to heterosexuality.
"This is fraudulent," Eggman said. "It should not be occurring."
Equality California, who co-sponsored the bill along with the youth advocacy group The Trevor Project, applauded the legislature for taking decisive action against conversion therapy.
"California legislators sent a clear, bipartisan message to the LGBTQ community across our state and around the world: 'You belong,'" said Equality California Executive Director Rick Zbur in a press release. "We look forward to the day when all LGBTQ Californians are protected from these dangerous, fraudulent practices."
Zbur claimed "there's no place for [conversion therapy] in the State of California."
The Human Rights Campaign urged the state to continue following in the footsteps of Connecticut and Illinois, which have already banned orientation change efforts under consumer protection laws.
"Today, California legislators rightfully declared that so-called 'conversion therapy' is a complete sham and those who offer this deceptive and dangerous practice must be held accountable," said HRC National Field Director Marty Rouse in a statement. "California was the first state to protect minors from being subjected to conversion therapy by state-licensed health care providers."
Carolyn Reyes, youth policy counsel for the National Center for Lesbian Rights, claimed in a statement that the vote represents "a major step that makes clear that California's consumer fraud laws protect individuals from the discredited and harmful practice of conversion therapy."
AB 2943 must clear an additional set of hurdles before becoming law, however. The legislation awaits consideration in the Senate and then must be approved by Democratic Gov. Jerry Brown, who is likely to sign it.
At the time of writing, the states of California, Connecticut, Illinois, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Washington have passed statewide legislation banning conversion therapy on LGBTQ minors. Hawaii and Maryland are poised to join the growing list, although their bills are likewise limited to youth under the age of 18.
Although New York is sometimes cited as prohibiting the practice, it has not.
Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo signed an executive order in 2016limiting conversion therapy by prohibiting companies from insuring any practitioner of orientation change, but sweeping action has stalled in the state legislature.

Частина 4: Прихисток — четвертий епізод американського телевізійного серіалу «Мандалорець». Написана шоураннером серії Джоном Фавро, режисерка — Брайс Даллас Говард, випущений на «Disney+» 29 листопада 2019 року. Головну роль грає Педро Паскаль — Мандалорець, самотній мисливець за головами, який вирушає на завдання загадкового Клієнта.

Зміст
Утікаючи від Гільдії Мандалорець і Малюк прибувають на малонаселену планету Сорган. Місцеві жителі фермери — вони вирощують криль. Їх поселення постійно грабують озброєні невідомці. Мандалорець стикається з найманцем і колишнім членом загону повстанців ударним солдатом Карою Дюн, яка ховається від мисливців на голови. Після невеликої бійки (в якій дісталося обидвом і дійшло до збройної нічиєї) вона просить Мандо покинути поселення.

Коли Мандалорець готує корабель до відльоту, до нього на плоті наближаються два зневірених рибалки, які сподіваються за допомогою Мандалорця прогнати рейдерів, що розоряють їх маленьке село. Мандо погоджується через ключову фразу «У чорта на рогах» і передає їх кредити Карі, щоб заручитися її підтримкою.

Прибувши в село, Мандалорець і Малюк зупиняються в коморі вдови Омер. Коли Омер запитує Мандо про його шолом, той відповідає, що не знімав його ні перед ким з того часу, коли його батьки були вбиті, а мандалорці взяли його до себе під захист. Кара Дюн і Мандо досліджують територію і виявляють, що у рейдерів є імперська крокуюча техніка AT-ST. Попри заклики Мандалорця і Дюн, жителі вирішують залишитися в селі й навчитися захищати себе. Вдова Омер виявляється снайперкою.

Після заходу сонця Мандо і Кара проникають в намет рейдерів і підривають його, AT-ST починає переслідувати їх. Досягнувши села і оборонних позицій фермерів, AT-ST зупиняється на краю ставка, де для нього встановлена пастка, і рейдери починають атаку. Кара Дюн, беручи вогонь AT-ST на себе, заманює його в ставок з імпульсною гвинтівкою Мандо; машина падає, а Мандалорець підриває її. Рибалки перемагають рейдерів, а ті рятуються втечею.

Мир повернувся в село. Бачачи, як Малюк весело грає з дітьми, Мандо вирішує залишити його в цьому селі, а сам — вирушити в дорогу. Вдова Омер майже зняла шолом Мандо. Раптово в лісі з'являється мисливець на голови Гільдії й намагається вбити Дитя, але його самого знешкоджує Кара Дюн. Мандалорець, не ризикуючи життям Малюка, забирає його разом з собою і прощається із жителями села.

Створення

Сприйняття
Станом на січень 2021 року на «Internet Movie Database» серія отримала 7,8 бала з можливих 10 при 21 601 голосах. На Rotten Tomatoes 92 % схвалення — 24 оглядачі. Оглядачі так резюмували: «Під спритним керівництвом режисерки Брайса Далласа Говарда "Прихисток" масштабує великі екшн-сцени, щоб знайти інтимні моменти персонажів, викриваючи глибше почуття гуманності під металевим костюмом Мандалорця».

На думку оглядача вебсайту «The Ringer» Бена Ліндберга основна частина епізоду розігрується як обкладинка версії «Сім самураїв» або «Чудова сімка», за винятком того, що замість семи ронінів стрільців є лише два (Ліндберг зазначив — «Star Wars» вже в боргу Акіри Куросави, «Троє негідників у прихованій фортеці» якого надихнули «Епізод IV»).

Q: Use control's events if when it is contained in a custom control I created a custom object, name: MyList.
This Object contains a picturebox and a grid.
I need to do something if the user press on this grid, so i have to "use" MouseDown events of the grid.
I used this event in the MyList project (i can save in a propriety the result for example) but in hosts project can't.
I have only the MouseDown event of the MyList, so if i press on the "form" of the object, this events works, but if i press on the grid of this MyList.
So, i can use MouseDown Event of MyList, but how i can use Grid Events?
