Shannon's athletic background began in the equestrian sport of Three Day Eventing. She competed nationally and internationally successfully for approximately fifteen years. Shannon also coached riders of all ages and levels during this time, and gained her NCCP Coaching certification in 2002. More recently, Shannon has been focused on running. She has raced distances from the 800m to ultra trail events and almost everything in between. Running continues to be a passion for her.
As an athlete and a coach, Shannon has always been fascinated by the psychology of achievement. Her interest regarding the power of the mind to impact an athlete's performance and overall experience drove Shannon to complete an undergraduate degree in psychology, and more recently a Masters in Applied Positive Psychology from the University of Pennsylvania. Positive psychology is the science of human flourishing and high achievement, and offers a wealth of resources from which Shannon draws to help athletes find the performance they are seeking. Her current research focuses on the contribution of a "love of challenge" to performance improvement, and the psychological aspects of exertion pain management.
Shannon currently spends a great deal of time with the Division I student athletes of Northern Arizona University. She works extensively with ten different sports in both team and individual formats. Shannon also consults with professional athletes both in Flagstaff, and across North America. She has a great deal of experience and success with runners in particular. Shannon also continues to research the "critical skills" (the mental skill that makes or breaks an athlete in their particular sport) particular to several sports, with the intention of helping athletes thrive in these moments. Her current area of focus is the moment of highest exertion for distance runners.

Brothers James and William Fisk-Moore were photographers active in Kent from around 1911. They traded under the name of B&W Fisk-Moore Ltd, James having taken the name of Beaufort James Fisk-Moore.

Early life
Beaufort and William's mother was Louisa Fisk, born in 1839 in St Albans, Hertfordshire. In 1862 she married John Moore in the same city.

The 1911 Census shows Beaufort J Fisk-Moore aged 34 and William Fisk-Moore aged 30 living as boarders in a house in Canterbury, Kent suggesting birth dates in 1877 and 1881 respectively. Both were born in Folkestone, Kent. It gives their occupation as photographers.

Business
The business traded in Canterbury at 4 St. Georges Gate, 7 St. George's Place and 10c Burgate Street. After many years of trading the partnership was dissolved in 1942 by mutual consent.

Legacy
Images attributed to B&W Fisk-Moore appear in the collections of major galleries. The National Portrait Gallery holds two vintage bromide prints one of Bishop Albert William Lee the other of Bishop Alfred Carey Wollaston Rose. The British Museum holds a postcard size image, possibly a gelatin silver print of Tanzanian women in a rural setting.

Beaufort and William's names appear in the Hewlett Johnson Papers held at the University of Kent.

Within the Conway Library Collection of photographs at the Courtauld Institute of Art there are images attributed to B&W Fisk-Moore. The collection includes glass and film negatives as well as prints covering different time periods of mainly architectural images. The collection  is currently in the process of being digitised as part of the wider Courtauld Connects project.

How to change your TikTok username
You can only do it once every 30 days — choose wisely.
By Christianna Silva on June 9, 2021
TikTok has evolved in the years since it was once Musical.ly. Now, instead of being purely a place for creators to make short videos lip syncing to music, the app is full of comedians, artists, dancers, singers, educators, and more.
Moreover, TikTok recently began testing a new tool for brands to recruit employees on the app, and users have begun using it for creative job applications, online networking, hunting for gig work, and more. Since the username is how people on the app find you or tag you, you might find yourself in a situation where you want to change your username for professional reasons. Or maybe you just want to shake things up.
It's important to remember that changing your username will also change your profile link, so if you have that posted anywhere, you'll want to update it. You can also only change your TikTok username once every 30 days. If you're still interested in changing it up, though, here's how:
1. Go to your profile
The first step for changing your username is to navigate to your profile. Credit:
After you open the app, navigate to your profile by clicking the "Me" button on the bottom right of the screen. Here, you'll see the videos you've uploaded and liked, and can check out your drafts.
2. Edit profile
When you navigate to edit your profile, you can add loads of links, change your nickname, and, you guessed it, change your TikTok username. Credit:
On your profile page, below your followers and following but above your bio, there's an edit profile button next to an Instagram button. Click "edit profile."
3. Change your username
To change your TikTok username, you have to save it as something that follows the rules: It must include only letters, numbers, underscores, and periods. Credit:
Click your username and you'll be taken to a page that lets you try out other usernames. Each username must include only letters, numbers, underscores, and periods, but periods can't be put at the end of the username.
4. Save it
Once you save your new TikTok username, you can't change it for another 30 days. Credit:
Once your username both fits all of that criteria and isn't used by someone else, you'll get a green check mark next to your username. When you're all set with your new username, click save on the top right. You'll be prompted with a popup that asks if you're sure, since you can only change it every 30 days. Click Set username.

The stock market completed a dull week with modest gains that were nonetheless good enough for record highs.
The Nasdaq composite climbed 0.2% on Friday while the S&P 500 and Dow Jones industrial average added 0.1%, inching their way to new highs. The small-cap Russell 2000 lagged with a nearly 0.2% loss at the closing bell.
Volume rose on the NYSE and fell on the Nasdaq, according to early figures. Winners led losers by 7-to-5 on the NYSE while the ratio was nearly even on the Nasdaq.
Friday's gains were typical of the whole week, which saw nary a change in the major indexes. For the week, the S&P 500 climbed 0.1%, its fifth straight up week. The Nasdaq rose 0.2% and the Dow less than 0.2%.
Steel and steel alloy producers were some of the strongest Friday, as those groups leapt about 2%. China last month imported more than 100 million tons of iron ore, about 16% more than in August. The new data came as China approaches a steel-production drawdown for the winter season, while it seeks to curb production capacity and push its steel mills, coal mines and iron ore mines into profitable situations.
Luxembourg-based ArcelorMittal (MT) gapped to a new high after clearing a 27.71 buy point in heavy trading.
Among noteworthy breakouts, Essent Group (ESNT) rallied past the 41.54 buy point of a flat base. Volume increased 21% above its 50-day average, which is decent. On the breakout day, though, you'd ideally like to see volume rush 40% to 50% above average.
The mortgage insurance provider has solid fundamentals, which had earned the stock a spot on IBD's Sector Leaders screen.
Alphabet (GOOGL) closed above the 1,006.29 buy point of a flat base but away from session highs. The parent of Google first topped the entry on Wednesday in what's been a slow-motion breakout so far.
A day after taking a beating, the retail sector bounced back and accounted for six of the 15 best-performing industry groups Friday. Specialty stores, department stores, grocery chains and discount stores still are low in the table of 197 industry groups. Ulta Beauty (ULTA) jumped 5% but remains in a steep downtrend.
Some medical stocks such as drug wholesalers, managed care providers and medical services firms were among the worst performing Friday after President Trump announced that state subsidies for ObamaCare will be scrapped.
Fiber optics, mortgage services, trucking and other transportation stocks also lagged. The Dow transports slid 1.1%.
J.B. Hunt (JBHT) missed profit forecasts for the third quarter due to pay hikes for drivers, other cost increases and costs from hurricanes in Texas, Florida and Puerto Rico. Shares slid nearly 4% in active turnover.

In Off the Grid, Jane goes on what looks like a simple mission for the Knoxville blood-master - finding a missing Mithran. Her search leads Jane to a young woman named Nell, a woman with a scarred past and a strange power, a woman who may hold the key to saving the missing vampire, if Jane can convince her to assist.
Now, to uncover the identity of the vamp who wants Leo's territory, and to find the cause of the vamp-plague, Jane will have to go to extremes...and maybe even to war.

What made the experience of listening to Death's Rival the most enjoyable?
Great story and great narration. I finished this book late at night and I was so hyped up I couldn't fall asleep. I wanted more. I have really enjoyed all the books in this series but I found this story more suspenseful. I loved it.
It is hard to compare this book to another I have read because of the main character's duel nature. The Alfa Omega series by Patricia Briggs, also a great series, has a bit of this with Charles and Brother Wolf. Charles is also influenced by his Native American heritage. While they are very different in many ways, if you like Mercy Thompson and/or Alfa Omega by Patricia Briggs I bet you will like Jane Yellowrock too, but I suggest starting with book one.
I think Ms. Hvam does a great job bringing Beast to life. I just don't think I would ever have fully understood the Jane/Beast relationship without her masterful narration.
There is always a chuckle or two in a Jane Yellowrock book but this one put a lump in my throat more that once. That surprised me.
I just hope Faith Hunter will write #6 fast, fast, fast!
This is the fifth book in the Jane Yellorock series. It was a spectacular book. We learn a ton about Jane's past. Things come to a head between Jane and Leo. Beast plays a large role in the story as well.
I listened to this on audiobook and it was absolutely amazing. The narrator captures Jane's personality perfectly and does an excellent job distinguishing between voices. I actually enjoyed listening to this series more than I enjoyed reading it. So I highly recommend listening to this on audiobook if you enjoy audiobooks.
Vamps are breaking out in a horrible virus of sorts, the only cure is provided by a mysterious master who comes in and takes over their territory in exchange for the cure. Jane is asked to look into this virus and figure out who the mysterious master vamp is. Jane also hires in two guys to help with her home security; this adds a lot of fun to her house and to the story.
Excellent continuation of this series. We learn a lot more about Jane's past and Beast plays a large role in this story as well. There is a ton of action and an interesting mystery that ties in with Jane's past nicely. The book is also full of Jane's sarcastic humor and wit.
A lot is revealed about Jane's character in this book. Her bloody past is discussed and she is forced to confront some truths about the nature of skinwalkers in general. Things also come to a head between Jane and Leo and the result is a rather painful truth that Jane is forced to face.
Bruiser and Rick are in the story quite a bit as well. It was wonderful to see Rick, but watching him and Jane struggle with their relationship was painful at times. Bruiser is an interesting character and watching how he is torn between Jane and Leo says a lot about his character.
Beast comes to the forefront in this story. The balance between Beast and Jane is changing; Beast is becoming more intelligent and more prominent in Jane's thoughts. It's interesting to watch Jane and Beast come up with some sort of balance. It's also fun to watch Beast interpret Jane's human thoughts and actions.
The plot that drives the story about the vampire virus was an interesting one. I loved how it all tied into events that happened in previous books and also ties in with Jane's origins.
This book was incredibly well written, very interesting, and very nicely tied in with the rest of the series. Some surprising things happen in the story that left me very curious to see what happens next. I thought this was the best book in the series yet.
Overall an absolutely wonderful continuation of this series. The plot is interesting and we learn a ton about Jane's history and about the history of the Skinwalkers. Some of Jane's struggles to balance Beast and the men in her life are painful to read about; but Jane's witty sarcasm and Beast's cat-like humor add a lot of fun to offset the darkness. The book is action-packed and just so interesting. I can't wait to read what happens next. This whole series is highly recommended to fans of action packed urban fantasy.
I love the Narrator's accent and ability to sweep the listener along. She is pitch and expression perfect. She reads in exactly the way I feel I would read, so it doesn't ever feel as if I want her to slow down or hurry up.
Jane is my favourite character, she is very well rounded as a person, extremely capable but not over confident. it has also been possible to watch her grow as a person throughout the series.
Christine definitely brings the Southern character of the books to life, which will be clear to all listeners/readers now instead of just those who are already familiar with the american south.
I think this is the best Jane Yellowrock book yet. It's all around good writing, good characters and a good story. There's some foreshadowing without giving to much away, there's some missing pieces that come together, theirs beast being cunning and funny, and theirs little twists that aren't obvious. So many books have these little twists that you can "feel" coming a mile away, if that makes any sense. I enjoyed just getting caught up in this book. I love this series, and 5 books in am still enthralled. I can't say that for all the series I read.
This addition to the series was full of action, really full of it.. I have enjoyed it.. New fantastic characters get added to the series and interesting developments happened to many characters including Jane. .... especially Jane.
There is also the absence of some characters, which wasn't so bad.
Its ending was very good and ..... will you have to get there to know what happens.. but it was good.
Again the narrator did a great job as usual narrating the characters and giving life to them.. she is very talented.
This book sent me into peroxisomes of glee!
Faith Hunter and Christine Hvam are a pairing made in audio heaven!
Jane and Beast never disappoint but in this book they also have some surprises. Jane learns some hard lessions and we get introduced to some very interesting new characters.
If I am not imagining things there is some foreshadowing going on in the beginning that may be relevant later. I love this series so much that it's one of the few I will listen to several times.
Where does Death's Rival rank among all the audiobooks you've listened to so far?
Loved it love all her books. Sorry I have to wait for the next one to come out.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Death's Rival?
I would love to see jane in Wisconsin in the winter. Would make a great backdrop. Crisp white snow, big fat snowflakes falling from the sky on her beasts pelt and such.
They should make a Jane Yellowrock movie!
I have loved Faith Hunter's writing since her Seraphs Series(I have signed copies). But the Jane Yellowrock novels have fast become my favorite series of all the authors I read...er well listen to. (I am new to the audible books experience) The story line is unique and inventive and the characters well developed. Khristine Hvams was very easy to listen to and I was easily able to discern what characters were who. I look at all the books being made into movies and think that this series would make an awesome movie. I have met Faith Hunter and she was a very genuine nice person. Keep writing Faith... we need MORE!
Great read, love Yellowrock! But I really would love to here some juicy lovers details in the future! I wasn't really thrilled with the ending ( won't spoil it here).

Overcoming and Economic Dilemma
Pesh Ahumuza, a digital communications consultant in Uganda, has had to maneuver many barriers while at the same time giving small businesses a platform to stay afloat
COVID HQ Admin 18.Oct.2021
I spend a lot of time online since I'm a digital communications consultant. So, the natural option became – how do I earn from the internet? As the year 2020 unfolded, many of the clients I influenced had become victims of the economic dilemma that the pandemic had caused.
COVID-19 had hit close to home and the headlines that were making rounds on local and international news channels about the pandemic's disruption of the supply chains, were slowly making sense to me.
Traders in downtown Kampala from whom I got my stock were no longer reliable for steady supply since they were no longer importing stock or even traveling to go replenish.
Having endured the thorny phase (starting) that every small business must endure, I chose to celebrate my birthday by giving back. The idea being – giving a platform for small and informal businesses a platform to market their products. The spirit of giving back was also a gesture of appreciation for people who supported the business through a tough period.
That's how UOT (Ugandans on Twitter) Market Day began. #UOTMarketDay is a hashtag that people looking to sell use to showcase to potential customers on Twitter. It sort of aggregates the different vendors and what they sell. I retweeted these posts, bringing them to the attention of my over 16,000 followers. On Facebook, the model is a bit different. There, we created a Group named UOT MarketPlace.
The feedback from these businesses has been humbling since.
For most businesses, COVID-19 has meant adjusting their model by prioritizing the online ecosystem. To safeguard myself from disease, I have been doing a lot of online shopping myself. And I know there are many others like me.
This period has also revealed to digital marketers and their clients alike that the internet is as much an enabler as it is risky. One bad review on social media can destroy a brand. If you don't have the financial muscle to put out a PR campaign to redeem yourself, you will go under.
At the same time, the internet presents an opportunity for businesses as long as one puts in the time to educate themselves about the different online tools available to market their products. The internet is a cheaper place for small businesses that don't have the resources to run Ads on TV, print or radio.
In Uganda, COVID-19 coincided with general elections, a period that proved murky for businesses. Authorities shut down the internet for weeks and Facebook remains inaccessible without Virtual Private Networks (VPNs).
New taxes were slapped on the internet in July this year, further choking people like me who rely on the internet to earn a living. Today, a digital marketer designing a Facebook campaign must contend with a lot of uncertainty because you can't tell your client for certain how the short-term projections will look like. Many users have lost interest in the platform because of the barriers associated with access.
It has not been easy to stay sane amidst this economic crisis. The toll that this period had on my mental health has made it even more difficult. Naturally, I get very anxious about many things including the economic ventures I undertake.
Loss of loved ones was another psychological trial for me. My grandmother has been sick and I was sick and worried each time I received a phone call from her. I didn't know what to expect.
But I have been seeing a counsellor. Though expensive, it is worth it.
Some take care of their mental health by taking a social media break. Unfortunately for me, I can't afford this luxury given the kind of work I do. I have to be online. I manage social media pages for different clients. Part of the projects that I did in this period was to track COVID-19 cases in different countries. It is a dicey choice I have to make – to pay my bills or to have some sanity.

Animal Microbiomes Are Unique and Beneficial to Their Hosts
Survey of 24 animal species suggests that each hosts a custom-tailored microbiome.
Ben Andrew Henry
VANDERBILT UNIVERSITY, BORDENSTEIN LAB
Transplanting the microbiome of one species into another species can cause a whole host of problems, according to a study published this month (November 18) in PLOS Biology.
In separate experiments by Vanderbilt University researchers, mice and wasps raised with the microbiota of closely related species suffered impaired digestion and lower overall survival rates—evidence that species host microbiomes tailored to their physiologies. The team also found that the evolutionary relationships between four animal groups paralleled the relationships between their microbiomes, supporting the notion that microbial communities living inside of animals evolve along with their hosts.
"Previous research has tended to concentrate on the negative effects of microbes. In this case we are showing that whole communities of microbes have positive effects as well," coauthor Andrew Brooks of Vanderbilt University said in a press release.
Brooks and colleagues surveyed the microbiota of 24 species across four animal groups: deer mice, fruit flies, mosquitoes, and jewel wasps. They compared the phylogenetic tree of the host animals with the ecological relatedness of their microbiota, and, based on information about the composition of a given microbiome, used computer models to accurately predict the correct animal host 98.5 percent of the time, the authors report.
To help explain the close association between animal species and their microbes, the authors then tested whether swapping an animal's microbiome with that of a close relative incurred evolutionary disadvantages. They raised colonies of deer mice and jewel wasps, but some of the mice were raised with microbiota transplanted from related mouse species, and some of the wasps were likewise raised with transplanted microbes from related wasp species. The transplant mice digested food less efficiently than healthy mice, while the transplant wasps had lower overall survival rates than control groups.
"Plants and animals evolved in a planet dominated by microbial life," said coauthor Seth Bordenstein of Vanderbilt University in the press release "So they had no choice but to tolerate microbes and, as we are now discovering, they also evolved the capacity to 'garden' them in order to enhance their health and fitness."

Kerri answers some of our FAQs...
Q. What made you want to work in mental health nursing?
A. I always knew that nursing was what I wanted to pursue a career in. I chose mental health nursing over the other branches due to the interest I always had with how the brain works and a desire to learn about the many types of mental illness. Helping people, reducing stigma and making a difference to people's live is something I knew I had the ability to do.
Q. What makes you want to help patients with eating disorders?
A. Eating disorders are one of the most complex mental illnesses and where I trained in Ireland there was little to no resources available for people with an eating disorder. I gained an interest early on in my training and felt that it was the area I was drawn to more. Helping people with eating disorders requires a passion and commitment due to its complexity and I have the skills to ensure I deliver the care that they need.
Q. Why is it important to you to help parents or loved ones of patients with eating disorders?
A. When someone is being treated for an eating disorder, their loved ones can easily feel put to the side and feel confused about what is happening and what the future may have in store. I feel very strongly about ensuring the treatment helps include parents or loved ones from beginning to end. Educating parents/carers and partners is just as important as educating the patient due to the long term effects of eating disorders.

Tom Hayden: Gone But Not Forgotten
October 24, 2016 by Jan Herman
Tom Hayden
Looking back: Mad Magazine + Tom Hayden = SDS. And before I forget. Meanwhile, the obits are pouring in for Hayden, who died yesterday. Here are three (with great photos) from The Washington Post; from The Huffington Post; from The New York Times. And here is a video of him speaking about the need to remember the Vietnam War, which with the civil rights movement, was the seminal event of his generation. (Broadcast by Democracy Now! on May 25, 2015, his remarks begin at 6'20". They are a command to recall a "proper history of those times.") Hayden emphasizes the importance of Martin Luther King Jr. and the power of protest, pointing to the need to "challenge the Pentagon now on the battle field of memory … to resist their military occupation of our minds and the minds of future generations," which "we suspect has to do with the programming of amnesia" [not excepting President Obama's failure to recall Vietnam, a point Hayden makes strongly] by "very powerful forces in our country who stand for denial, not just climate denial but generational denial. … Our national forgetting is basically pathological. … There came a generation of career politicians who were afraid of association with the peace movement, who were afraid of being seen as soft, who saw that the inside track was the track of war. Our systems are totally out of balance today because of our collective refusal to admit the Vietnam War was wrong and that the peace movement was right."

william osborne says
The principle war the Pentagon fights is against the American people. America's all-volunteer military had to embrace advertising since it needed to compete for human resources in a free market. Vietnam also illustrated that it has to manipulate the media to win propaganda wars. The Pentagon thus initiated a propaganda war against Americans.
Since the military's resources are unparalleled, its ability to conduct a cultural war on its own people is without comparison. Under the military-industrial complex's massive social engineering, war has become the unifying force of American society.
The biggest lie began after WWII with the claim that we defeated Nazi Germany. The USSR defeated Germany, not the USA. 80% of the Wehrmacht was on the Eastern Front fighting the Red Army. In comparison, the war in the West wasn't too much more than skirmishing. By the time D-Day came, Germany was already defeated and the outcome of the war already determined.
The USSR lost 27 million people in the war, the USA about 300,000. That's 1/90th the amount. One in every four Soviet soldiers was killed in the war, while in the USA it was one in every 100. In the Battle of Stalingrad, which is where Germany was actually defeated, the Soviets lost one million men, three times more than the USA lost in the whole war, including against Japan.
This wasn't an accident. The policy of the USA and UK was to let Germany and the USSR bleed each other white, then go in for the kill. And then we claimed with false heroics that we defeated Germany.
We also overlook how incompetent our military often was in Africa and Europe. During the war, the Germans literally referred to as "the bumbling Americans." This history of our poor military leadership during WWII, and the numerous major fiascos and countless American deaths it caused still needs to be written. This would also include an account of military equipment which was all too often poorly designed and built – and often a direct result of war profiteering.
Nevertheless, the myth of the "American Fighting Man" was created after the war, and became a central part of the militarization of America. The delusions created by this myth and the delusions about our military prowess led to the difficulties in Korea, and to simply getting our asses kicked in Vietnam.
After Vietnam, in the true nature of bullies, we became more cautious and have focused on smaller, even less developed countries for our "heroics." And yet we continue to create delusions about the ability of our military to solve international problems. Anyway, those like Hayden who refer to the Pentagon as a bullshit factory have a point, and it is probably a far larger distortion of history than the vast majority of Americans realize.
Kurt Wold says
Well stated…
With the USSR losing so many men in WWII (I am told that numerous Soviet cities had to deputize women in order to run local government), the Pentagon had the perfect foil against which to build a runaway military-industrial complex. Russian historical sentiment simply would not allow the USSR to back down from any cold war arms race, that is until eventually it went bankrupt.
General Motors was one of those US WWII military contractors, and after the war they began limiting their investment in automobile manufacture, and investing in a large portfolio of military contractor subsidiaries. Selling weapons to the Pentagon proved a lot more profitable than selling cars to US citizens. Their bravado quote, "What's good for GM is good for America", would eventually prove Detroit to be well outside US borders.
There were also many women in the Red Army, which included about 3000 women snipers, only half of whom survived the war.
Gary Lee-Nova says
@ Tom Osborne & @ Kurt Wold
Very well stated by both of you. I'm not in the USA, I'm a little north of it but I often put it under my microscope and study the propaganda, comparing what I find to the propaganda in the country I live in, the one to the north of the USA.
It is comforting for me to find American Citizens who understand Tom Hayden's statements about the military invasion and occupation of the American citizen's minds…
" … to resist their military occupation of our minds and the minds of future generations," which "we suspect has to do with the programming of amnesia" …
… bearing in mind that "occupation" also involves "preoccupation."
Bravo, Gentlemen! Resistance prevails! Collaboration fails!

When one starts investing, one needs to be familiar with the term portfolio. A portfolio is defined as investment tools such as; stocks, shares, bonds, mutual funds, cash and many others. These investment tools are all combined depending on the investor's budget, income, risk appetite and the holding period. This is made in such a way that the risks between the investments are stabilized and that if ever a loss may occur it is only minimal. This combined mix of investment tools is what we call an investment portfolio. Sheaff Brock specializes in managing client portfolios given whatever their risk tolerances might be.
In setting up one's investments, it is important to set-up a portfolio that maximizes your savings. A portfolio manager like Sheaff Brock is needed to attain professional portfolio management and allocation. This is important to fully maximize the value of one's portfolio to realize gains and profits. Portfolio management is both an art and science that makes sure that the investment mix and policy matches the objectives of the investment, that it's assets are well allocated to individuals and institutions, and that risk is balanced against the performance of the investment. In its simplest term, it is managing one's investments in a diversified way, minimizing risks and losses, for the capital to increase and gain profits throughout the investments holding period. Investments are usually maintained and managed within a given holding period depending on the investor.
Two most common portfolio management types are the active and passive portfolio management.
Active Portfolio Management – the portfolio is managed and maintained by a set of members that actively participate in making the investment decisions for the investment tools available. These members do extensive market research before deciding to invest in any investment avenue.
Passive Portfolio Management – the portfolio is maintained and invested based on a market index, and the investment mix is usually used to invest in the best performing company in the index as the best investment option.
Portfolio management is ideal for people who have little or limited knowledge when it comes to investments. The portfolio manager is the one who will be managing one's investments as they would have expert knowledge about investing. This is is also ideal for people who have no time spare to do hands-on participation with their investments. As most investments are set-up as passive income for most people, people would rather let a portfolio manager manage their investments for them as they continue working with their full-time jobs. Portfolio management is a convenient way for those without the time and experience in investing to participate and earn through the help of a portfolio manager.
Professional Portfolio Management and Allocation is accurately done by a portfolio manager who is entrusted to make sure that investments are properly managed and well allocated to earn gains and profits. He is charged with investing the portfolio to investment avenues that correspond to the investor's defined criterion of their age, budget, income, risk appetite and holding period. He is tasked with diversifying the investor's investments in such a way that only minimum risk is involved when opting for maximum returns. The portfolio manager is the overall keeper of the investor's portfolio and makes sure that returns are attractive and risks are reduced. The portfolio management process is a going term between the portfolio manager and investors. Throughout the holding period of the investment, the Sheaff Brock reports to the investors regularly to keep them updated with the changes regarding their investment. Together with the portfolio manager, the investors can reach their investment goals and objectives.

Messi blasts 'weak' team after Barcelona loses league title
Messi blasted his team for being "weak" after Real Madrid wrested the league title away from Barcelona for the first time in three years on Thursday.

After seeing Barcelona's Spanish league title defence come to a disappointing and meek end, Lionel Messi didn't hold back.
Messi blasted his team for being "weak" after Real Madrid wrested the league title away from Barcelona for the first time in three years on Thursday, and said it must quickly change course to have a chance at winning the Champions League.
Real Madrid clinched the title by beating Villarreal 2-1 but would have lifted the trophy regardless of that result after Barcelona slumped to a 2-1 loss to an Osasuna side that finished with 10 men.
"This game represents the entire year. We have been an erratic and weak team," Messi said in a rare TV interview just after the final whistle sounded at an empty Camp Nou. "Madrid did its part by winning all its matches, which is impressive, but we also helped them to win this league. We have to be critical of how we have played, starting with the players, and the rest of the club."
Messi 'taking longer than expected' to recover from Covid-19
Barcelona led the league by two points over Madrid when the league was stopped in mid-March for three months while Spain's reined in its coronavirus outbreak.
Madrid returned to the competition motivated and in shape, reeling off 10 straight wins.
Barcelona looked flat, drew three matches to lose the lead, and on Thursday hit a new low when it lost its first home match since November 2018.
Covid again set for starring role as new season draws closer
"The feeling on this team is that it tries, but that it cannot get the job done," Messi said. "Today in the first half they were better than we were and it seems we have to fall behind to react like we tried to do in the second half."
Messi scored his league-leading 23rd goal from a free kick in the second half to cancel out José Arnaíz's opener.
And Barcelona got a man advantage when the visitors lost substitute Enric Gallego to a straight red card for bloodying the mouth of Clement Lenglet with an elbow to the face in the 77th.
Djokovic wins deportation delay after Australia cancels visa
But Osasuna's Roberto Torres scored in stoppage time with Barcelona pushing forward searching for a late goal.
"I said it some time ago, that playing like this we had no chance of winning the Champions League, and it turns out we didn't even have enough to win la Liga," Messi said. "We need to take a breather, let some air in, and clean out minds of all that has happened since December."
Barcelona must regroup for the second leg of its Champions League round-of-16 match against Napoli on Aug. 8. The first leg finished 1-1 in Italy.
Lionel Messi tests negative for Covid, back in Paris
"Playing like this we will lose against Napoli," Messi said. "We have to start from zero in the Champions League and blame ourselves for what went wrong."

Home Sports The Mets could have David Wright's worthy successor at Brett Baty
The Mets could have David Wright's worthy successor at Brett Baty
Seth Sale Jun 02, 2020 0 Comments
Part 4 of a series on the best prospects for the Mets.
It wasn't until after David Wright's career ended or he was close to concluding that the Mets were serious about finding their next homegrown third baseman.
At Brett Baty, the organization may have found that successor. Baty, selected by the Mets in the first round of last year's draft (12th overall) at Lake Travis High in Austin, Texas, brings a powerful left-handed bat and a strong pitching arm to the equation. He entered this year as one of the Mets' best position player prospects, joining shortstop Ronny Mauricio and Andrés Giménez, and catcher Francisco Álvarez.
Two years before recruiting Baty, clear that Wright would have a hard time coming back from the debilitating injuries that shortened his career, the Mets used their second-round pick on Mark Vientos, a power batting shortstop who was switched to third base and spent last season at Bajo-A Columbia.
Baty spent most of last summer at rookie-level Kingsport, and in 52 games had a .234 / .368 / .452 diagonal line with seven home runs and 33 RBIs. Baty ended the season playing five games for Brooklyn Class A while the Cyclones were chasing a playoff spot. In the postseason, he was 3-for-9 (.333) at the plate.
Listed at 6-foot-3 and 210-pound, there was concern last season about Baty's mobility around third base, but the appearance of the 20-year-old upon arriving at camp this spring may have bolstered his stock.
"He put himself in tremendous shape and that always impresses me," said one Mets talent screener. "You come out of a season and someone says, 'Hey, look, make sure you're in good shape next spring,' and this kid comes in and has lost 15 pounds and looks better and moves better and that impresses me.

Brett BatyPaul J. Bereswill
"Good bat, very good swing and he's another guy, you have to let him go play." He's going to catch up, he has good skills, great presence. "
From the Mets' perspective, Baty would ideally make it to the major leagues by 2023 or 2024. That would coincide with the expiration of Robinson Cano's contract, perhaps allowing Jeff McNeil to play second base full time, with Amed Rosario, Mauricio or Giménez at shortstop. McNeil's versatility could also put him in the outfield.
Baty arrived last summer as part of a strong Mets draft class that included pitchers Josh Wolf and Matthew Allan in the second and third round, respectively. Allan was considered a first-round talent, but slipped into the draft out of concern about whether he would sign. Baty was the second third baseman selected in last year's draft, behind Josh Jung of Texas Tech.
"[Baty] He has impressive discipline in the strike zone and does an excellent job of getting pitchers to get close to him, "Mets executive director of player development Jared Banner said in an email." He has impressive gross power. that allows him to get the ball out of the stadium to all the fields. "
Baty's athleticism only adds to her intrigue. A standout of three high school sports, he can dip a basketball and in soccer he was recruited by Division I schools as a quarterback.
"He is a high-quality child with an impressive work ethic and competitiveness," Banner said. "He is a great example for his teammates."

A BOY suffered a serious head injury after being hit by a car near Abingdon this morning.
The B4017 Wootton Road in Whitecross was shut both ways following the crash, which happened at 8.20am.
Police said a 15-year-old boy, a pedestrian, was struck by a grey Peugeot car between Sunningwell Road and Long Tow.
He was taken to the John Radcliffe Hospital in Headington.
Investigating officer PC Matthew Booker, of the Joint Operations Unit for Roads Policing based at Bicester, said: "I'm appealing to anybody who witnessed the collision, or who may have dash-cam footage, to contact police."
Anyone with information can call 101, quoting URN 201 (28/1).
South Central Ambulance Service spokesman David Gallagher said call handlers received 'multiple 999 calls' reporting the collision.
He said the 15-year-old was treated at the scene before being taken to hospital in an ambulance.
SCAS sent a rapid response vehicle, an ambulance, a paramedic team leader and the Thames Valley Air Ambulance critical care car to the incident.
Police closed the road both ways between Sunningwell Road and Copenhagen Drive, while officers investigated.
Thames Valley Police is currently on the scene of a serious road traffic collision on the B4017 Wootton Road in Abingdon.

Q: what would happen if you signal() before wait()? A bakery shop has to provide a stream of muffins for customers. The muffins are made by a baker in the kitchen and placed on a conveyor belt. The conveyor belt carries the muffins to where the customers are waiting to buy them.
This scenario has been simulated using two processes: the baker and customer, and a shared conveyor belt implemented as a circular array called conveyor, where each space in the array can hold one muffin. There are two shared general semaphores, empty and full, and a mutex
buffer_mutex. In this scenario, there is only multiple bakers and a single customer.
The pseudo-code for the baker is as follows. The baker makes use of an integer variable in for noting the next available space on the conveyor belt.

*

*while(true){

*muffin = makeMuffin(); // Create a muffin

*wait(empty);

*wait(buffer_mutex);

*conveyor[in] = muffin; // Put the muffin on the conveyor belt

*in = (in + 1) mod n;

*signal(buffer_mutex);

*signal(full);

*}

The pseudo-code for the customer is as follows. The customer makes use of an integer variable out for noting the next location on the conveyor belt that contains a muffin.

*

*while(true){

*wait(full);

*muffin = conveyor[out]; // Get a muffin from the conveyor belt

*conveyor[out] = null;

*out = (out + 1) mod n;

*signal(empty);

*eat(muffin); // Eat the muffin

*}

What will happen if the order of semaphores in the customer changes.
So, we have in line 2 signal(empty) and in line 6 wait(full).

A: I didn't look at your code. What counts is how wait and signal work.
When your code contains a wait(), the line of code after the wait() will be executed after a signal() call. It doesn't matter if the signal() happened before or after the wait.
Now your buffer_mutex has an obvious problem: After the wait(), the next line of code is only executed after the appropriate signal(). But signal() is never executed because your code is waiting for the signal(). You may have confused this with lock / unlock.

A: Consider it this way:

signal() does not mean "wake up!"  It means: "you should not be sleeping now."

At the instant a signal comes in, the signaled process might or might not be sleeping.  If it comes in before the process attempts to wait() it will not actually go to sleep at all.
In this case, you would need a counting semaphore, initially set to zero, another one that is set to the size of the conveyor, and a mutex controlling access to the conveyor itself.

*

*In order to manipulate the conveyor, or to reliably examine its status, you must first obtain and hold the buffer-mutex.  You release it as soon as you are done.  This maintains the integrity of the shared data structure.

*In order to put a muffin on the conveyor, the baker must first obtain (decrement ...) the "size of the conveyor" semaphore.  If the conveyor is full (count <= 0), he will be delayed.  He then places a muffin (using the mutex), and increments the "number of muffins" semaphore.

*To remove a muffin, the customer must first obtain the "number of muffins" semaphore.  If the conveyor is empty, he will be delayed.  He then removes a muffin (using the mutex), and increments (signals ...) the "size of the conveyor" mutex.
In each case, one party waits on a semaphore that is controlled by the other party, and vice-versa.  Meanwhile, everyone who manipulates the conveyor must hold the mutex while doing it.

Wasteland transformed
When, in July 2005, the IOC president Jacques Rogge made the dramatic announcement that London had won the campaign to host the 2012 Olympics, it set off a dramatic programme of planning, building and organising that may well go on until 2013.
The task that lay ahead was in itself one of olympic proportions, the most dramatic of which was turning an area that had been an industrial wasteland into an Olympic Park. The project was complicated further by the banking crisis, funding issues and controversy over designs. To their credit, the organising committee have taken all of this in their stride and the project has been delivered on time and on budget. The organisation for the games is a complex web of not just building venues to host 26 sports but housing 14,700 athletes, accommodating 21,000 media wallahs and creating an enjoyable experience for 10.8 million spectators from across the world. To achieve all of this, a workforce of around 200,000 will be required by the time the Games begin.
In our special issue celebrating the Olympics, we look at the way galvanized steel has in its own inimitable way contributed towards the challenge of making the 2012 games the best there has been.

Q: Java 2D and resize I have some old Java 2D code I want to reuse, but was wondering, is this the best way to get the highest quality images?
    public static BufferedImage getScaled(BufferedImage imgSrc, Dimension dim) {

    //  This code ensures that all the pixels in the image are loaded.
    Image scaled = imgSrc.getScaledInstance(
            dim.width, dim.height, Image.SCALE_SMOOTH);

    // This code ensures that all the pixels in the image are loaded.
    Image temp = new ImageIcon(scaled).getImage();

    // Create the buffered image.
    BufferedImage bufferedImage = new BufferedImage(temp.getWidth(null),
            temp.getHeight(null), BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB);

    // Copy image to buffered image.
    Graphics g = bufferedImage.createGraphics();
    // Clear background and paint the image.
    g.setColor(Color.white);
    g.fillRect(0, 0, temp.getWidth(null),temp.getHeight(null));
    g.drawImage(temp, 0, 0, null);
    g.dispose();

    // j2d's image scaling quality is rather poor, especially when
    // scaling down an image to a much smaller size. We'll post filter
    // our images using a trick found at
    // http://blogs.cocoondev.org/mpo/archives/003584.html
    // to increase the perceived quality....
    float origArea = imgSrc.getWidth() * imgSrc.getHeight();
    float newArea = dim.width * dim.height;
    if (newArea <= (origArea / 2.)) {
        bufferedImage = blurImg(bufferedImage);
    }

    return bufferedImage;
}

public static BufferedImage blurImg(BufferedImage src) {
    // soften factor - increase to increase blur strength
    float softenFactor = 0.010f;
    // convolution kernel (blur)
    float[] softenArray = {
            0,              softenFactor,       0,
            softenFactor, 1-(softenFactor*4), softenFactor,
            0,              softenFactor,       0};

    Kernel kernel = new Kernel(3, 3, softenArray);
    ConvolveOp cOp = new ConvolveOp(kernel, ConvolveOp.EDGE_NO_OP, null);
    return cOp.filter(src, null);
}

A: Chris Campbell has an excellent and detailed write-up on scaling images - see this article.
Chet Haase and Romain Guy also have a detailed and very informative write-up of image scaling in their book, Filthy Rich Clients.

A: Adding some clarifying information here.
No, that isn't the best way to get a good looking scaled image in Java. Use of getScaledInstance and the underlying AreaAveragingScaleFilter are deprecated by the Java2D team in favor of some more advanced methods.
If you are just trying to get a good-looking thumbnail, using Chris Campbell's method as suggested by David is the way to go. For what it's worth, I have implemented that algorithm along with 2 other faster methods in a Java image-scaling library called imgscalr (Apache 2 license). The point of the library was to specifically address this question in a highly tuned library that is easy to use:
BufferedImage thumbnail = Scalr.resize(srcImg, 150);

To get the best-looking scaled instance possible in Java, the method call would look something like this:
BufferedImage scaledImg = Scalr.resize(img, Method.QUALITY,
                                       150, 100, Scalr.OP_ANTIALIAS);

The library will scale the original image using the incremental-scaling approach recommended by the Java2D team and then to make it look even nicer a very mild convolveop is applied to the image, effectively anti-aliasing it slightly. This is really nice for small thumbnails, not so important for huge images.
If you haven't worked with convolveops before, it's a LOT of work just to get the perfect looking kernel for the op to look good in all use-cases. The OP constant defined on the Scalr class is the result of a week of collaboration with a social networking site in Brazil that had rolled out imgscalr to process profile pictures for it's members. We went back and forth and tried something like 10 different kernels until we found one that was subtle enough not to make the image look soft or fuzzy but still smooth out the transitions between pixel values so the image didn't look "sharp" and noisey at small sizes.
If you want the best looking scaled image regardless of speed, go with Juha's suggestion of using the java-image-scaling library. It is a very comprehensive collection of Java2D Ops and includes support for the Lanczsos algorithm which will give you the best-looking result.
I would stay away from JAI, not because it's bad, but because it is just a different/broader tool than what you are trying to solve. Any of the previous 3 approaches mentioned will give you great looking thumbnails without needing to add a whole new imaging platform to your project in fewer lines of code.

A: You can use JAI (Java Advanced Imaging) to get more sophisticated image resizing options.  See https://jai.dev.java.net/.  These allow you much more flexibility than the java.awt.image package.

A: You could also look into java-image-scaling library.

A: You can Resize Image using a Open Source Library

Banks and contact centers are separate environments with different goals and services. But they both exist to serve customers and drive business results. And both can benefit from using software-based solutions to improve resource management and support quality assurance efforts.
Businesses and customers both like to know what to expect, so consistency is important. Both also value fast, friendly, and efficient people and processes. Advanced workforce management; audio recording and real-time performance monitoring; CRM and other systems that can help collect, aggregate, and present a unified view of the customer; and unified desktop solutions allow for that.
The latest workforce management software allows bank branches and contact centers to track what workers have which skillsets. The software then can employ that intelligence to create the most effective schedules. That way banks and contact centers can make sure they always have the expertise they need to address customer and business requirements. They can even leverage that intelligence and along with call routing technology to connect customers with team members who are equipped with the knowledge and skills to best address their needs.
Providing team members with the appropriate customer data also can help them more effectively provide callers with the help they need. And bank or contact center personnel can also tap those systems so they're ready with the most appropriate offers and responses for specific customers and prospects.
Audio recording and real-time performance monitoring and management, meanwhile, can provide bank branch and contact center managers with a better idea of what customers are asking for and how. And it can inform them as to how their team members are responding to those requests and at what pace.
That information can help managers tweak training as needed, do targeted coaching, understand processes that might need improvement, and even get a better idea of what products and packaging are successful or problematic.
Unified desktop solutions also can drive better customer experiences by using automation to present bank and contact center workers with the information they need to understand customers and quickly provide them with answers and solutions. Well-designed desktop interfaces also can enable customer service personnel to quickly find the information they need.

In the initiation ceremonies of the Poro of Sierra Leone, a Senufo bird is a hat worn by men or carried in a procession. Between uses it is kept the Poro's secret tree grove. The base is hollowed out underneath so that it may fit like a cap on the head of the  wearer.  However, many of the birds stand on cylindrical bases that seem to be designed to rest upon the ground.

The image of a large abstract bird with an equally large beak curved into its own belly. The wings on either side are rectangular with small squares punctured in them Two smaller versions of the bird stand on each shoulder and the wings a decorated with figures on the backside. The legs are slightly bent, standing on a round pedestal and a smaller animal protrudes as the birds tail. This sculpture is made of dark wood and is sometimes decorated with pigment or mud,

According to Senufo belief, the hornbill, along with the tortoise, the crocodile, the chameleon, and the serpent - was one of the first living creatures. The long phallic beak touching its swollen belly suggesting pregnancy, represents the dual forces of  the male and female components, symbolizing the need for both to ensure the continuity of the whole community. The image of this bird is taken from the native yellow-casqued hornbill, which the Senufo believe is the master of all arrogant birds and associated with intellectual power, significant of the knowledge the elders hope to impart on the young initiates.

I definitely expected a little more grit from both teams defensively. I think Bama starts pulling away.
I wonder how much everyone's win pct would go up if they treated their picks with a zero streak as seriously as their picks with a ten win streak? I can only speak for myself but I don't put much time into my choices until I have at least three of four wins.
Made more than a few units off this gentleman.
That's an easy one. Yisman is well over that and is active both here and 'across the street.' Enough betpoints to make loans at what I assume is a nice betpoint profit.
wow.. just wow.. how do you fake a punt on in your own territory to the best team in the land???
He was having a rough year but was an interesting read. I learned quite quickly bit about baseball from him plus he's one of the better human beings these boards. Any of you grizzled vets know if he's alright?
Thank you smoothd20, juiceguru, and Burnttoast for rooting me on, I am adding you guys on here and will root for you guys as well! Burnt, am not intentionally stonewalling the selections, but I am attempting to get them at the best odds possible. I use a website that I trust with predictions for most sports, and am just on a goofy hot run of guessing sports. I played the "Most Wins" contest on another site for the previous few years. I won their contest in May for $5k and I am trying my hardest to keep this lucky run going. I have probably made 15,000 picks on that site and another 1,400 or so on Covers Streak Survivor. I am willing to share any strategies and websites that I feel have been beneficial to me along the way. Hope the best for everybody, Good Luck to all!
Classy first post. Good luck going forward.
They're not offering any MLB and I'm about to time out. Thought they'd at least offer total on Cubs game but no. Any ideas on who to take?
