Pirates, Tigers set for clash at Texas Tech's Jones AT&T Stadium
Alexis Cubit

The 2019 four-overtime thriller between Frenship and Lubbock-Cooper hasn't been forgotten by either team.
While both lost several key players, which made last year's game as exciting as it was, the Pirates and Tigers are still using the contest as motivation heading into this year's 7 p.m. Friday matchup at Jones AT&T Stadium.
The game was originally scheduled to be played in Woodrow, but due to the COVID-19 protocols the head coaches and administrators from both sides elected to move the contest to a bigger venue in order to have plenty of space for fans to socially distance.
"For one, it helps our capacity with seating, but I don't really think that's why anybody's excited about playing there," Tigers coach Jay Northcutt said. "It's just about the opportunity to go and play at a D-I stadium and just play in that atmosphere. Not only that, you're playing one of your biggest rivals. So, I think that's kind of what adds to the excitement."
The opportunity to play at the venue is a treat for players growing up in the area, many of whom dream about being a Red Raider. At the same time, both Northcutt and Pirates coach Chip Darden know it's a tough but manageable balance between showing that emotion and executing to ensure a victory.
"We're going to make sure we're going to get there early enough to where they can enjoy it a little bit and begin a normal pregame routine," Darden said. "We use experiences like this and really these three games in a row where we go Coronado, Frenship, Monterey. They're big games. They're emotional games and then this one being played at a big stadium that's a neutral site, we use all those experiences, we want to try and help us in district and hopefully playoffs where when we do go to venues like that in the playoffs, we're used to it.
"We kind of treat it as a way to get better at that kind of stuff, learn how to handle all that and play in big games. Hopefully, that helps us down the road."
The Pirates enter the game following a 28-0 loss to Coronado, marking the program's first shutout loss since 2009. Darden noted the attitude of the team was similar to last year after the Pirates' 61-53 loss to the Tigers.
After the game, Lubbock-Cooper went on an 11-game winning streak which ended with the school's first Class 5A, Division II state semifinal appearance.
Darden is hoping to have the same kind of rebound this week. And it'll help that the Pirates will have a healthy offensive line for the first time this season.
Lubbock-Cooper may have stumbled upon something, though, using senior Rylan Wilcox in the backfield. The four-year varsity player managed 17 yards on two totes in addition to running back three kickoffs for 62 yards and three tackles and two pass break-ups at his safety spot.
"Rylan's just explosive with the ball in his hands, so having the opportunity to get him the ball in space, we think, gives us a chance as an offense so if we can little bit here and there, we will," Darden said. "We feel confident with him doing anything: playing running back, receiver, heck, he could play wildcat quarterback. Defensively, he could play a bunch of different positions, too. He's just pretty versatile."
They'll need to be firing on all cylinders when going against an experienced Frenship defense, which includes Stefano Sanchez. The senior has managed 27 tackles and had 16 in the Tigers' 49-42 win over Burleson Centennial on Oct. 2.
For Northcutt, the most impressive fact was Sanchez playing in a new spot due to an injury at free safety.
"Stefano hadn't played a lot at free safety leading into that game and in practice, so he kind of got thrown into that role, that free," Northcutt said. "With (defensive coordinator Mark Ribaudo's) game plan that week with the triple option, the free is a pretty big piece of it, so Stefano had to do that with limited reps. Considering that, I thought he played a great game. He made a bunch of tackles. He's one of our captains. He's just a leader on defense for us, so I was very proud of how he played."
Northcutt also saw significant improvement from quarterback Chad Pharies between Games 1 and 2. The junior signal caller had a team-high 181 passing yards and 190 rushing yards, accounting for five of Frenship's seven touchdowns last week.
"You can just tell his upside his high, that he's just going to keep getting better," Darden said of Pharies. "And then, I think they run a tempo, fast pace, but that running back (William Bayouth) is one of the best we'll see all year. He's really good, he's hard to bring down. Very rarely does one guy bring him down, so it's going to be a challenge with them and their offense."
Lubbock-Cooper already has experience with going against top-tier talent, recording five quarterback sacks on Coronado senior Sawyer Robertson while holding the Mustangs to 75 rushing yards last week.
Linebacker and Oklahoma verbal commit Kobie McKinzie led the effort with seven tackles. The junior also played an integral role in the Pirates' game against the Tigers last year. He's one of many returning defensive players that will be ready to go when the two teams kick off Friday night.
"I think the thing you see is it's a good game, and all these local games are, but this is a good game for the Lubbock area," Darden said. "I think last year, they estimated 10,000, 12,000 people at the game and that's neat for our kids, their kids and Lubbock in general to have a high school football game with that much excitement and that much emotion involved."

Do you remember the day you got your first professional job? When the envelope flopped through the letterbox, or the long awaited call finally came, and you knew that this was it, your first step on the ladder.
Do you recall too the sense of pride in that moment? The pride that allowed you to carry yourself a little taller, to no longer shy away from the inevitable bar room question, 'so what is it that you do'?
Well, I'm guessing that first flush of pride, the innocent glow of the ingenue, has now weathered into something deeper and more substantial. You're no longer merely proud of your title, you're proud of the work you've done, the standards you've set, the fact you know your way around your business, what needs to be done and how to do it.
You're proud of your professionalism.
Your professionalism comes at a price; a very demanding price if your job requires you to be creative and to innovate.
You are as an experienced professional someone who – by definition – understands the accepted way of doing things. You've been round the block. You know the protocol. You know what works and what doesn't. The problem is, the more comfortable you are with the accepted way of doing things, the harder it is for you to come up with truly original ideas.
Your experience acts like blinkers. Blinkers which keep you on the straight and narrow, comfortably within the status quo of whichever industry you're in. Yet while these blinkers keep you safe and secure they also limit your view; they stop you seeing the ground-breaking possibilities which lie beyond the confines of conventional wisdom.
Leonardo Da Vinci changed the way we think about art, about science, about our physical bodies and our place in the natural order. He made countless discoveries throughout his life, and generated a wealth of hypotheses, some of which, like the way blood moves through the arteries in the heart, we've only recently discovered to be true.
His innovative, iconoclastic thinking was due in part perhaps to his outsider status at the beginning of the Renaissance. He was gay, left handed, vegetarian and illegitimate at a time when such things put you adrift from the central current of society. But what really enabled him to accelerate human knowledge in a way few others had done before or since, was simple … his lack of formal education.
He couldn't read the accepted treatises and texts in Latin and Greek because he couldn't read Latin and Greek. He was unfettered by received wisdom. Quite simply, he had to work everything out for himself, thus avoiding the pitfalls and dead ends which limited his more conventional peers.
There's a phrase in Buddhism which I love – 'the not know mind'. It's a state of enlightenment through deliberate ignorance, where one wilfully disregards those blinkers of experience to see the world afresh, to consider things anew.
If your professional success depends upon your creativity then I would encourage you to look to Leonardo and the Buddha for inspiration on your next project.
Set yourself the challenge of approaching a problem free of any of the accepted protocols which would normally channel your ideas. See if you can attack it with the gusto and innocence of that younger you who opened the envelope or took the phone call way back when. Rip up the rulebook. Forget about what's been done before. Try doing the things your peers dare not do.
Think like an amateur and your ideas can run free.

English is used in remarkably different ways around the world. Exploring that variation is an extremely effective tool towards understanding our own use of English. This lesson looks at some features of colloquial Singapore English.
Observe some features of colloquial Singapore English.
Reflect on the similarities and differences between colloquial Singapore English and Standard English.
The teacher explains that today, we will look at some examples of colloquial Singapore English. If you have anyone in class from Singapore, approach them before the lesson and ask if they'd like to contribute in any particular way as well.
Some teachers and students are wary of studying English apart from Standard English. There is no need to be concerned: learning to analyse different varieties of English, including regional varieties within Great Britain as well as international varieties, is a great way to practise linguistic analysis and to see the features of Standard English in a new, clearer way.
The Open University has produced a short video on Colloquial Singapore English, or 'Singlish', which you and your students can view here.
What is the role of English in Singapore?
What does it mean that Singlish is a cultural identifier?
What are some elements of Singlish?
What is reduplication?
Which languages have influenced Singlish?
How is Singlish controversial?
Have students consider the following questions:
Speakers of Singlish switch between Standard English and Singlish depending on context. In what ways do you change your language depending on context?
Singlish is controversial. What elements of English in the UK are controversial? How do controversies surrounding English in the UK compare to controversies surrounding Singlish?

I know there are quite a few of us that enjoy art outside of the comics medium. I thought it would be interesting to have a place to read about and discuss our favorite artists and their work. This can include (but is not limited to) paintings, sculptures, architecture, lithography, special effects makeups, photography, graffiti, museums, et cetera. As long as it's not comic related post it here.
I'm a huge fan of the work of Salvador Dalí. One of my favorite paintings of his is this portrait of his wife Gala made almost entirely of spheres aptly named "Galatea of the Spheres".
I've always enjoyed Dali's Elephant paintings.
I am a huge fan of Dali's work as well. I managed to check out the travelling Dali exhibit a decade and a half or so back when it was at the Wadsworth Antheneum in Hartford, before I relocated to Ohio. It was amazing to see so much of it in one place.
Most of my other museum trips are for far more ancient art, Meso-American in particular, Egyptian certainly, but most anything from pre-modern times enthralls me. Same with a lot of the Renaissance masters. For more modern stuff, I enjoy a number of fantasy and pulp illustrators (Frazetta's non-comic stuff certainly, but Michael Whelan, Larry Elmore, Clyde Caldwell, Erol Otus, etc.) and often check out the Spectrum volumes from the library to see what is new and interesting in the realms of fantasy art. I also have a thing for classic album cover art, from rock to jazz and blues. One of thebest things about the old lp format was the larger size the cover art came in. CD packages are just to small to marvel at the art.
But I have spent time exploring the MOMA and Met in NYC, the MFA in Boston, several smaller museums in New Haven and the Dayton area, and a ton of galleries on Newbury Street in Boston back in the late 80s when I was taking an Art since 1945 class as an undergrad. When I spent some time down in Sate Fe circa 2000-2001, I discovered some amazing stuff there, from Spanish era architecture to Anasazi influenced native art, to Mexican flavored Day of the Dead street art. You can't escape Georgia O'Keefe's stuff while there either. I wandered the street for a day or two with a camera and sketch book just soaking it all in. My tastes in non-comic art are eclectic to say the least, they range all over the place from antiquity to contemporary and things from everywhere in between.
The MFA in Boston is one of my favorite places to visit, I probably go at least two or three times a year.
I have always had great affection for Altdorfer's Battle of Alexander at Issus. (Here's a big version of it).
Even discounting the gazillion characters in the piece, the geography at the back is fascinating. The perspective is impossibly skewed to include the Mediterranean, Cyprus, Europe on the right and Africa on the left… with the sun and moon for good measure!
That's a painting in which one can drown.
I also have a thing for classic album cover art, from rock to jazz and blues. One of thebest things about the old lp format was the larger size the cover art came in. CD packages are just to small to marvel at the art.
Album art really is an underrated medium and includes some incredible artists ranging from H. R. Giger to Opie Ortiz. I always liked Vince Locke's Cannibal Corpse covers. (They're a bit on the gory side so I won't post any here though.) Similarly Robert Williams' original cover for Guns N' Roses' Appetite for Destruction was changed and moved to the inside.
I've actually been trying to find out who the artist was that created the cover art for the self titled record by the '60s psychedelic rock band Galdalf.
Which is a perfect segue to introduce the next artist I wanted to talk about Alex Grey. Music fans might recognize his work on such album covers as Tool's Lateralus and 10,000 Days among many others. I highly recommend checking out his book Transfigurations. The cover of which features my favorite piece of his titled "Oversoul".
For more modern stuff, I enjoy a number of fantasy and pulp illustrators (Frazetta's non-comic stuff certainly, but Michael Whelan, Larry Elmore, Clyde Caldwell, Erol Otus, etc.) and often check out the Spectrum volumes from the library to see what is new and interesting in the realms of fantasy art.
I love those Spectrum books! They are a great way to see a vast range of work...the diversity is astounding.
I have reproductions of these artwork done by M C Escher.
I've always loved Black and White Artwork.
Jesse412 Great Idea for a thread. I will be visiting this thread a lot and I do love artwork from all walks of life.
Great taste, we have a coffe-table book of his work, just waiting to fry your braincells.
I enjoy the weekly emails from Bud Plant for all the art and artists, familiar and unfamiliar.
I actually used to own a couple of t-shirts with M.C. Escher designs on them (Reptiles, Ants, Relativity, and Hands). My favorite though is his piece "Rind" which I made an 11 x 17 print of and had it hanging on my wall for years.
Another of my favorites of his work is "Dragon".

Imagine an industry that runs out of raw materials. Companies go bankrupt, workers are laid off, families suffer and associated organizations are thrown into turmoil. Eventually, governments are forced to take drastic action. Welcome to global banking, recently brought to its knees by the interruption of its lifeblood – the flow of cash. In this case, we seem to have been fortunate. In the nick of time, governments released reserves in order to start cash circulating again. But what if the reserves had not been there? What are we going to do when our supplies of vital materials such as fish, tropical hardwoods, metals like indium and fresh water dry up? We live on a planet with finite resources – that is no surprise to anyone – so why do we have an economic system in which all that matters is growth – more growth means using more resources. When the human population was counted in millions and resources were sparse, people could simply move to new pastures. However, with 9 billion people expected around 2050, moving on is not an option. As politicians reconstruct the global economy, they should take heed. If we are to leave any kind of planet to our children, we need an economic system that lets us live within our means.
it will increase the pupils' awareness of certain environmental promblems and encourage them how to appreciate the value of natural resources.
Students should create environmental itineraries that will be available under the form of pamphlets and also on the webpage of the project.
The information collected by each school will be compared and exchanged
The Project will provide teachers and students the opportunity to know more not only about heritage but also about the economical, social, historical and cultural characteristics of the countries involved in this Project
The main idea of the Project is how to be contributed for preservation and sustainability of environmental heritage of certain areas.
Man, through the ages, has undergone many changes from the time WHEN he depicted a herd of mammoths on the walls of his cave to these days WHEN he can create beautiful pictures AND even make coffee by use of computer technologies WITHOUT leaving his favorite chair. The 20th century made huge steps in developing computer technologies AND reached many goals THAT made our life much easier. WHAT should we expect in the 21st century? First of all, I think THAT the pace of our life will speed up: we will move faster from one place to another, from one continent to another using high speed jet airplanes. Second of all, I believe THAT we will be able to do many things THAT take much time now WITHOUT leaving our house. Computers will be everywhere INCLUDING our clothes. Many people will have chips AND mini computers inserted in their heads to hold huge amount of information AND have a quick access to it.
(I) One of the oldest methods of preserving food is drying. (II) It slows down the proliferation and activity of the bacteria that cause spoilage and decay, but it considerably alters the appearance of food due to the loss of water. (III) With the success of freezing and its characteristics for retaining the food value of ingredients, drying is no longer an essential means of preserving food for times when it may be out of season or expensive. (IV) Since prehistoric times, cereals and fruits have been dried in the sun before being stored. (V) The drying of fruits and vegetables has been widely practiced for so long
Why Chocolate Can Be Deadly For Dogs Chocolate is a sweet treat for many people, but for dogs it can be a killer. The message, from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, is especially important now because chocolates from Easter may still be in many homes. Chocolate contains a substance called theobromine that is similar to caffeine and is toxic to dogs at certain levels. The minimum amount of theobromine dangerous to dogs ranges from 46 to 68 milligrams per pound (mg/lb), according to the FDA's Center for Veterinary Medicine. Half the dogs that consume 114 to 228 mg/lb or more of theobromine will die. A number of factors determine whether a dog will have a toxic reaction, including its size, the amount of chocolate the dog ate, and whether it is extra sensitive to theobromine, the agency said in a news release. The type of chocolate is also important. The amounts of theobromine present are: 704 mg/lb in milk chocolate, 2,400 mg/lb in semisweet chocolate, and 6,240 mg/lb in baking chocolate. To get 46 mg/lb of theobromine, a dog would have to eat: 1 ounce per 1 pound of its body weight of milk chocolate
4. The poll revealed that 14 percent believe that Bigfoot is real. Another 14 percent said they were not sure, while 72 percent said they do not believe Bigfoot is real. Reality Check: Despite several attempts to prove Bigfoot exists, no one has presented evidence that has withstood scientific scrutiny. Indeed, many such "proofs" have turned out to be outright hoaxes. In 2008, two men claimed to have found a seven-foot (two-meter) tall, 500-pound (230-kilogram) Bigfoot corpse in the woods of northern Georgia, but the body was later revealed to be a rubber ape costume. Last November, another group claimed they had done DNA tests that proved the "North American Sasquatch is a hybrid species, the result of males of an unknown hominin species crossing with female Homo sapiens." The researchers touted the fact that their study was published in a scientific journal called DeNovo—but it seems the publication was created especially for that Bigfoot study. While Bigfoot is likely just a myth, that's not to say that no new, close relatives of humans have ever been found—it's just that all of them are long extinct. For example, in 2010, scientists announced that a 40,000-year-old pinkie bone found in a Siberian cave belonged to a previously unknown species of ancient human called Denisovans. 5. Some 9 percent believe the government adds fluoride to drinking water for "sinister" purposes. Reality Check: The latest evidence that fluoridated water has dental health benefits comes from a 2013 study published in the Journal of Dental Research. The study found that fluoride in drinking water prevents tooth decay in adults regardless of age, whether or not they drank fluoridated water as children. Other recent evidence of the dental benefits of fluoride came from an unlikely source: A survey of more than 23,000 skeletons from medieval archaeological sites in Britain showed that people who lived near the coast—and presumably consumed a lot of fluoride-rich fish—had fewer cavities. 6. A total of 7 percent of voters believe the moon landing was faked. Another 9 percent said they weren't sure whether the Apollo moon landing really happened. Reality Check: Believers of this particular conspiracy theory have painstakingly dissected video and photos from the Apollo 11 moon landing looking for evidence that it was faked. For example, some have pointed out that the American flag Neil Armstrong planted on the moon appears to be flapping "in a breeze" in videos and photographs. But, as spaceflight historian Roger Launius of the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum in Washington D.C., explained on the 40th anniversary of the first moon landing, "The video you see where the flag's moving is because the astronaut just placed it there, and the inertia from when they let go kept it moving."

According to PPP, more Americans who supported Mitt Romney for president last year (27 percent) than those who supported Barack Obama (16 percent) believe in the UFO cover-up. Reality Check: It hasn't always been the case, but many astronomers today are open to the idea of life existing elsewhere in the universe—and even to the possibility of intelligent alien life. That's thanks in large part to the relatively recent discoveries of hundreds of so-called exoplanets—worlds beyond our solar system—and thousands of planet candidates. Most scientists think it's only a matter of time before a habitable, rocky, Earth-like twin is discovered. Even our own solar system might contain evidence of alien life. NASA's Curiosity rover recently discovered tantalizing evidence of clays and minerals that scientists say could only have formed in water. The implication: Ancient Mars had the conditions and ingredients necessary to support life. As for UFOs, most sightings are eventually linked to more mundane causes. For example, a recent video by actor Russell Crowe purportedly capturing a UFO outside his office was likely reflected sunlight from a plane passing near sunset. 3. Some 20 percent believe childhood vaccines are linked to autism. These voters believe that childhood vaccines against mumps and other diseases could increase the risk of developing autism. Reality Check: A recent government study confirmed what many scientists have been saying all along: There is no connection between the number of vaccines a child receives and his or her risk of developing autism. The study, published last month in The Journal of Pediatrics, also found that even though kids are getting more vaccines these days, those vaccines contain fewer substances that provoke an immune response. 4. The poll revealed that 14 percent believe that Bigfoot is real. Another 14 percent said they were not sure, while 72 percent said they do not believe Bigfoot is real.
Fact Checking 6 Persistent Science Conspiracy Theories Conspiracy theories are as American as apple pie. A national poll released this week by Public Policy Polling (PPP) found that some popular conspiracy theories in the United States have persisted for years, like the belief that a UFO crashed in Roswell, New Mexico, in 1947. Meanwhile, new theories have gained believers, such as the ideas that Saddam Hussein was involved in the 9/11 attacks and that Osama bin Laden is still alive. Perhaps not surprisingly, many of the ideas in the new poll are based on a misunderstanding of science—or a stubborn refusal to acknowledge it. Here's a reality check on some of the science-related conspiracy theories from the survey: 1. A total of 37 percent of American voters believe global warming is a hoax. Most (58 percent) of the people who believe this identified themselves as Republicans. Of those who don't believe global warming is a hoax, 77 percent are Democrats. Reality Check: Numerous scientific studies have confirmed that the Earth is warming and that the rate of warming is increasing. Average temperatures have climbed 1.4°F (0.8°C) around the world since 1880. Much of the temperature increase happened in recent decades, coinciding with a spike of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases emitted into the atmosphere as a result of human activity. The effects of global warming on the natural world are equally well documented: Arctic sea ice is now thawing at historic rates, flowers are blooming earlier, and the migration patterns of birds and other animals are changing. 2. A total of 29 percent of voters believe aliens do exist. Another 21 percent believe the U.S. government covered up a UFO crash near Roswell, New Mexico, in 1947. According to PPP, more Americans who supported Mitt Romney for president last year (27 percent) than those who supported Barack Obama (16 percent) believe in the UFO cover-up.
Higher testosterone levels may spur women to take financial gambles that might have bigger payoffs, according to a new study. Testosterone is the principle sex hormone in males, but it's also found in naturally varying levels in women. In both sexes, testosterone enhances competitiveness and dominance, boosts confidence, and reduces fear. To see what effect the hormone has on financial risk taking, scientists asked 500 male and female MBA students at the University of Chicago's Booth Business School to play a computer game that measured aversion to financial risk. "These are people who understand this type of game and who most likely will be players in the financial industry after graduation," said study team member Luigi Zingales, an economist at the University of Chicago. The students were repeatedly given the choice of receiving a fixed amount of money or entering a lottery where the payout was potentially much higher. The researchers took saliva samples to measure the testosterone levels of each participant before and after the experiment. (Watch rugby players being tested for testosterone changes before, during, and after a match.) What the team found is that men were more willing to take risks than women. In fact, the researchers saw a kind of "ceiling effect" in men, in which differences in financial risk-taking tapered off as testosterone levels increased.
An "electronic tongue" that can digitally measure the taste of sweetness has been created, a new study says. The technique uses a postage stamp-size piece of paper dotted with colored pigments. A computer compares scans of the array of dots before and after the paper is wetted with an eyedropper full of liquid. After running dozens of samples of mystery artificial sweeteners dissolved in water or tea, the research team reported that their tongue could pick out the sweetener used with with 100 percent accuracy. But the array only works collectively: No single dot—each made of a tiny gel coated with a pigment that reacts to different sweeteners—detected any single sugar or sugar substitute, according to study leader Kenneth Suslick, a chemistry professor at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. "It's not like a key that only fits one lock," Suslick said. "That's not the way our tongue works—that's not the way our nose works. And that's not the way this array works." Bitter End The human tongue also detects saltiness, sourness, bitterness, and savoriness. Sourness is just another word for acidity, Suslick said, which any high school chemistry student can test for using litmus paper. Savoriness—also called "umami"—and saltiness can already be measured by handheld devices sensitive to protein levels and sodium and potassium ions. The final dimension of taste that remains to be cracked is bitterness, which is still somewhat of an unknown.
What Happens After Death? Many of us fear death. We believe in death because we have been told we will die. We associate ourselves with the body, and we know that bodies die. But a new scientific theory suggests that death is not the terminal event we think. One well-known aspect of quantum physics is that certain observations cannot be predicted absolutely. Instead, there is a range of possible observations each with a different probability. One mainstream explanation, the "many-worlds" interpretation, states that each of these possible observations corresponds to a different universe (the 'multiverse'). A new scientific theory – called biocentrism – refines these ideas. There are an infinite number of universes, and everything that could possibly happen occurs in some universe. Death does not exist in any real sense in these scenarios. All possible universes exist simultaneously, regardless of what happens in any of them. Although individual bodies are destined to self-destruct, the alive feeling – the 'Who am I?'- is just a 20-watt fountain of energy operating in the brain. But this energy doesn't go away at death. One of the surest axioms of science is that energy never dies
Many years ago, an old woman named Peggy Ford wrote letters to some men. The men were soldiers who were fighting in the Vietnam War. The soldiers were in combat, far way from their home. They missed their families, and they liked to get the letters from Peggy. Peggy also kept the letters that the soldiers wrote back to her. Peggy Ford died more than 30 years ago. Earlier this year, Ford's children discovered the letters in her attic. They decided to donate the letters to a history museum. The museum is happy to have the letters. They feel that the soldiers' stories of the war are valuable. They tell the story of the war better than anyone else could. The museum feels that it's important to remember the war. The letters show a personal perspective of the war. They are a valuable part of history. A news station filmed a story about Peggy Ford and the letters. The story was posted on the internet. Many people saw the story, and read about Ford's letters to the soldiers. The story made other people want to donate letters. Many people called the museum. They offered to donate their letters from that era. One woman gave the museum more than 200 letters that she wrote to her husband while he was stationed in Vietnam. She had saved them for many years. She thought others would be interested in them. Peggy Ford was a kind, caring woman. Her letters to the soldiers made them feel better. One woman thinks Ford is an inspiration. She is urging others to write to soldiers in Iraq. She says that a letter would bring a smile to a soldier's face. Cookies and other treats could be sent with the letters. Small gifts and letters would make the soldiers feel better. She plans to write many letters to soldiers, just as Ford did many years ago. She believes that it's important to say thank you to the soldiers. She thinks the letters would be a good way to do that. She knows that the soldiers appreciate the letters. The history museum is still interested in Vietnam-era letters written to or from soldiers. The workers there suggest that people contact their local history center or museum if they have similar letters. Letters like Peggy Ford's are considered pieces of history. They tell us about a time in history by the the people living through it.

E-commerce has revolutionized the concept of conducting business by providing equal chance to all the businesses to mark their global presence. It has also eased the customers with online shopping and easy transactions. With the introduction of e-commerce business, communication has become effortless and has also changed a lot in recent years for the better. Still, there are people who think that conventional business practices are far better then the e-commerce business. Here, we are bringing you some of the benefits and limitations of e-commerce that will make you aware of the certain aspects of this new trend of conducting business.
Expands the reach of your business to the global market :- The foremost advantage of e-commerce is that it empowers the business to reach the global market. E-commerce caters to the demands of national as well as international business simultaneously and brings your business activities out of geographical boundaries. With e-commerce, even small businesses get the access to the global market.
◈ Round the clock availability :- E-commerce has abolished time restrictions on business activities because with this you can execute business transactions 24X7. The time factor significantly turns into the increment in sales as well as profits.
◈ Gives freedom to make choices :- It also gives customers an opportunity to look for cheaper and better quality products. With e-commerce, consumers can search the specific product or service they require and can even find the direct manufacturer from where they can purchase products at comparatively less price. Shopping online is time saving and convenient. In addition to it, you also get to see the reviews of other consumers that will help you in making beneficial purchase decision.
◈ Cost effective : - E-commerce is proved to be highly cost effective for business concerns as it cuts down the cost of marketing, processing, inventory management, customer care etc. It also reduces the burden of infrastructure required for conducting business. You can also collect and manage the information related to the customers efficiently, which in turn will assist you in developing efficient promotional strategy.
◈ Technological and inherent limitations :- The technological limitations of e-commerce have restricted a large number of people from using this revolutionizing technique. The major disadvantage of e-commerce is the limitation of the Internet, as it still has not touched the lives of every individual. Lack of knowledge restricts large number of people from using the internet and understanding online transactions. Some people refuse to trust the legitimacy of online business and some are not comfortable about disclosing their personal and confidential information online. Authenticity of e-commerce businesses has always remained in question.
◈ Not suitable for perishable commodities :- The biggest limitation of e-commerce is that it is not suitable for perishable goods and food items. For purchasing such items people prefer the conventional way of shopping. Along with that, the time period also plays a significant role in delivering goods to the customers. Customers may need to make lot of phone calls and e-mails for getting the products within the desired timeframe. Moreover, it becomes really troublesome to return the product or get refund in case if you are not satisfied with the product.
After evaluating the pros and cons of e-commerce, we can clearly state that the benefits of e-commerce are sufficient enough for overpowering the limitations. If apt strategies are followed and technical issues are addressed properly, you can easily build up the customers trust in your system. The present scenario of e-commerce can also be changed for good, so that it can easily adapt to the ever changing needs of the customers as well as of the world.

MERIDIAN TWP. – Jane Kramer, a Bath Township mom and photographer, can add something new to her resume.
Since 2016 she's been urging Grand Rapids-based Meijer to add a healthy checkout option at its stores so that customers aren't stuck waiting in the aisle of temptation filled with candy and pop.
Now, she's giving them a little harder nudge. She's working on a campaign with a national group, the Center for Science in the Public Interest, as well as a few local groups to request healthy choices.
A billboard went up last week along Grand River near Park Lake Road that says simply "ask Meijer for #HealthyCheckout" with images of fruits, nuts, vegetables. Two others went up on Grand Rapids.
A march is being planned at the Okemos Meijer at 10 a.m. Aug. 25 for people to show support for the healthy checkout aisles.
"We're encouraging participants to shop at Meijer afterwards. It's a family friendly peaceful walk to show support for healthy checkouts. It's not a protest," said Kramer, the mother of a 15-year-old son.
Kramer's a longtime Meijer shopper who said she loves the Michigan-based store. But she hates being trapped in the checkout lanes with its tabloids and sugary treats. She doesn't think kids and adults trying to watch their health should be either.
She hopes for an all-healthy checkout lane per store as a pilot project.
It appears that Meijer is hard to nudge.
Meijer spokesman Frank Guglielmi said the store has already incorporated healthier options in the checkout aisles.
"Some items are lower sodium, some lower fat or fat free, some lower calories, some sugar free, some all natural, etc. We leave it up to our customers to determine what they consider healthy and we provide the choices so they can make that decision," he said in an email.
He cited snack bars, sunflower seeds, beef jerky, peanuts, low-fat popcorn, pretzels, crackers, water, sparkling water, unsweetened and sweetened iced teas.
"There has been a steady increase in the number of healthier options at the checkout aisle over the past few years, driven by customer preference and the continued launch of new products in this space," he said.
In addition, he said many stores also offer free cookies in the bakery and free fruit in the produce area to children so parents can choose a treat for their kids.
But a survey by Washington D.C.-based Center for Science in the Public Interest, found only 3% of food and drink items were healthy options, such as Cheerios and bottled water, at Meijer checkouts.
"Unlike most other supermarkets, Meijer promotes 32-ounce plastic cups in its checkout aisles—to fill with Coca-Cola products at soda fountains adjacent to the registers," the Center said in a news release.
Other stores are moving to add healthy checkouts, the Center said, citing Aldi and CVS.
The healthy checkout folks are trying to keep it positive. Kramer said it isn't a protest. She wants to work with Meijer.
After she first launched the idea in December 2016, she drew national attention, some of it negative from critcs who told her: If you don't want candy, don't buy it. Some of the social media responses criticized her and her family personally.
Meijer reached to her about a year ago and she sent a video with ideas in December. After another call acknowledging the video in February, she said she's heard nothing.
She's hoping shopper pressure will change that.
"I'm hoping with all the support in the community, Meijer will rethink their checkout," she said.


With Lucky Stiff, the Landor has offered to London a musical theatre treat, delivered in its intimate surroundings and proving again that a well produced show, based solely around talented performers does not require gimmicks of technology or staging, nor even a heart-rending story.
The show is a delightful farce the improbability and incredibility of which , demand that you set your intellectual expectations at zero as you take your seat. James Winter, recently of Jersey Boys, is Harry Witherspoon, a shoe salesman from Sussex who learns that he will become the sole beneficiary of a distant relatives $6million legacy in diamonds, if he can wine, dine and entertain the deceased's corpse, for a week in Monte Carlo. The instructions for the weeks carousing are precise, and if Witherspoon fails, the estate will pass to a New York dogs home . Hoping that the Englishman will put a foot wrong, the dogs home have sent Annabel Glick to tail him throughout his European stay, so they can claim the fortune. Throw in a murderous casino manager's moll ( who also happens to be the casino owner's wife ) , a neurotic East Coast optometrist escaping a domineering spouse and you start to get a feel for the outrageous twists and turns of the plotline.
Such a tall story requires actors who can rise to the challenge of delivering performances that are in essence as much caricature as character, and the Lucky Stiff cast do not disappoint.
Winter is everything you expect as an angular awkward Englishman, thrust into circumstances that at first he can barely comprehend, but the challenges of which he quickly rises to. Abigail Jaye, as Glick, the foil to his plans, is a delight to watch. Her performance is perhaps the most challenging of all. A prim do-gooder, concerned solely for the welfare of her dogs, to whom personal pleasure is anathema. Jaye takes Glick on the most delightful arc, cautiously shedding her inhibitions ( and in a moment of sheer farce, her clothes ) as the inevitable love interest blossoms between her and Witherspoon.
Lucy Williamson ( who recently understudied Tracie Bennett in End of the Rainbow ) is wonderful as the murderous broad, Rita La Porta, dragging her optometrist brother Vincent , maniacally played by Miles Western , in their own pursuit of the diamonds.
To spoil the story would not be fair, but suffice to say that some of the finest principles of farce are upheld - bodies are wheeled in and out in a combination of wheelchairs and laundry baskets, doors open and shut, and of course there has to be a scene in which the trousers of a lipstick-smeared man end up around his ankles.
The choreography is a delight. James Houlbrooke has exploited the Tardis like qualities of the Landor, with routines and movements that defy the dimensions of the room, and the tap dance of Harry's Nightmare, where the corpse of his dead uncle hilariously leads the line , is wonderful.
Set design too is imaginative, with the numerous doors cleverly designed into the Landor's space, and it should be added, the comic timing of the cast is faultless throughout.
Rob McWhir has directed a comic gem. The show is literally short and sweet. See it to catch musical theatre at its truly frivolous best.


It's a bold call, isn't it – radio as it should be.
Only play great music – music that we will enjoy listening to. Let the other stations experiment with new artists and new sounds. If we want that, we'll go and look for it.
Let the music play – don't have announcers speaking over the top of track intros and endings.
Limit the number of ads and station promos – too many stations interrupt the flow of ads to occasionally throw in a song.
Cover special / live events but only when they have broad appeal.
Declare the station to be ego-free.
So, bringing together some experienced radio heads and lovers of the greatest music recorded in the second half of the 20th century and the first part of the 21st … here we are!
Let us know what you think – click here to visit the Contact goRadio.Live page. And if you love what we do, tell your friends, talk about us on social media, let the world know. We want to share our dream with as many people as we can!
We have an array of music-based programs every hour of the day, every day of the week. As we develop as a station, you'll find us branching out into other program styles – local sporting events, special event music programs, etc. If you want to know what we are broadcasting and when, choose a day from the menus below and then, once the programs are displayed, select a program to find out everything about it.

Just one great song after another - what is there not to love? Overnight.Live on goRadio.Live every morning from midnight till 6:00am.
In 1960, we were listening to Bobby Darin, Roy Orbison, Elvis Presley and our own Johnny O'Keefe. By the end of the decade, we'd seen the British Invasion, the start of the Vietnam War, the protest songs, the peace and love movement, psychedelia ... what a period of change. Join us on that journey through the 1960's every weekday morning and evening on goRadio.Live. You'll be glad you did!
This was the decade that saw us move from progressive rock and protest songs through to the early stages of new wave, via glam rock, lots of guitars and punk. It was the decade where we first heard of Queen and Suzi Quatro, where the individual members of the Beatles and Rod Stewart established themselves as solo performers and on the home front, Countdown made stars of Sherbet, Skyhooks, John Paul Young, Marcia Hines and Supernaut. This is a decade that was stuffed full of fantastic music and you can hear it all on the 70's After Seven throughout your weekday mornings and evenings on goRadio.Live.
The Monitors asked the question in 1980 - what will we be singing in the 80's? Well, if they'd had access to goRadio.Live all those years ago, they'd know the answer to their own question. What an era. What a decade. Great music from the 1980's - for nine hours every week!
Nobody wants to work in a perfectly quiet office, shop, factory, showroom or any other workplace. But what should use to break the silence - talkback, subscription-based services, news and current affairs? How about a fantastic selection of the greatest music ever recorded?

Great music that everyone agrees on - your colleagues, your customers, everyone. Workplace.Live from 9:00am till midday and again from 2:00pm till 4:00pm every Monday to Friday.
The Australian music industry has given us so many wonderful songs over the years. What better way to celebrate our local music industry than to spend a couple of hours each weekday listening to the very best of those songs. From Johnny O'Keefe in the late 1950's through until today - and including a few country tracks along the way - we spend the first two hours of each work day afternoon playing the very best Aussie classics. A great way to spend lunchtime - bring your own pie or Vegemite sandwich.
Often, the only thing that is more stressful than a long day in the office is the drive home. Do you want to listen to so-called comedians trying really hard to be funny and often failing? What about the mix of music that gets squeezed in between ads and these announcers - is it really what you want to hear? How about the talkback jocks, presenting the opinions of their listeners about the latest diet or reality TV program. Or do you want to listen to a continuous stream of classic hits from goRadio.Live - radio as it should be. Drive.Live - arrive home with a smile on your face.
The name and description say it all - great music, back to back till midnight. From 9:00pm every Monday to Thursday, you'll hear nothing but the very best music ever recorded.

Having a special party? How about you tell us a date in the past (maybe your 21st birthday, wedding day, etc) and we'll create a radio program for you as though it was that day in history. We'll focus on the top 40 music of the day and feature other songs from the years before that. Your guests will be able to make requests (only for songs that had been released by our virtual party date) and keep the party going right through until midnight. Send us an email at hello@goradio.live to find out more.

More War Criminals without punishment, or almost
Germany has a complicated and dark twentieth century. Just remember the dismal III Reich. The northern Land of Schleswig-Holstein, is one of those regions where it must hurt to remember. Because, in its day, this region that borders Denmark was one of the German areas where the Nazis achieved more success on their way to power. And, above all, because after the Second World War, the reinsertion of members of the German National Socialist Workers Party (NSDAP, according to its German acronym) was commonplace.
Notables of the totalitarian regime of Adolf Hitler also tried to enjoy there, with more or less success, a second chance. "Schleswig-Holstein sadly has that fame. In the 60s and 70s it was known that there were many cases here of authentic hidden war criminals, who lived undisturbed for a decade or more, "says Karen Bruhn, historian at the Christian Albrecht University in Kiel. "In the 60s it was investigated, but the investigations focused on the most relevant people, and many people with a past in the Nazi party could be integrated into the new democratic state," Bruhn writes.
Names like Werner Catel, known to practice euthanasia to children in times of Nazism, is one of those relevant figures. "Catel is a well-known example, he lived until his death in Kiel and was a professor at the University of Kiel after the war," recalls Bruhn. Kiel is the capital of Schleswig-Holstein. Eighty kilometers south of that city lies Lübeck, where Ernst Lautz, who was the Attorney General of the Third Reich, would live until his last days. This man was sentenced to ten years' imprisonment in Nuremberg. He ended up being released early in 1951, which took the opportunity to settle in Lübeck until his death in 1977.
A doctor who practiced euthanasia on children
In the case of Catel, in 1960 his role in the euthanasia system began to be made public to children with mental illnesses in the National Socialist regime. His retirement, in line with the controversy generated, seemed to be a product of circumstances. It has been estimated that some 5,000 people were victims of the euthanasia system that Catel participated in. After his retirement in Kiel, Catel remained intellectually active, writing several books, mainly on his medical specialty, pediatrics.
Werner Catel before
One case among thousands :
In early 1939 a farm labourer called Richard Kretschmar requested Catel's permission to euthanise one of his children, now identified as Gerhard Kretschmar, who had been born blind and deformed. Catel deferred the matter and suggested the father write directly to Hitler for permission. Hitler subsequently sent Dr.Karl Brandt to confer with Catel and decide on a course of action. On July 25, 1939 the child was killed.
Werner Catel after
After the war Catel took charge of the Mammolshöhe Children's Mental Home near Kronberg , where he continued to rally for the euthanasia of children deemed beyond hope. In 1949 he was found to have committed no grave crimes by a denazification board in Hamburg , and became attached to the University of Kiel in 1954. There was serious discussion after his death in 1981 of establishing a Werner Catel Foundation with $200,000 from his estate, but the idea was finally dismissed in 1984.
A lawyer of the Nazi state
Ernst Lautz, the Nazi state lawyer sentenced to ten years in prison in Nuremberg, for his part,
Ernst Lautz
participated in the execution of laws against Poles and Jews in the territories annexed by the Third Reich in Eastern Europe. That cost him a conviction for war crimes. But that punishment was abbreviated as was also reduced the life sentence imposed on Franz Lautz was released on parole on Jan. 31, 1951, after serving a little more than three years.
In 1936 he became Attorney General in Berlin and moved in 1937 to Karlsruhe. Lautz, who joined the NSDAP in May 1933, became a prosecutor at the People's Court from 1 July 1939. He attended the meeting of the highest jurists of the Reich on 23 and 24 April 1941 in Berlin, in which Viktor Brack and Werner Heyde informed about the "destruction of life unworthy of life" in the gas chambers of the T4 campaign. He was in the trial against participants of the assassination of 20 July 1944 representative of the indictment. On January 30, 1945, he and Roland Freisler appealed to the German justice system to affirm allegiance to the "Führer".
Lautz lived after his release until his death in Lübeck. The pension office in Kiel had its pension claims since December 1, 1952 (1951 and 1952 was entitled to his position and salary as chief prosecutor) of a high-level lawyer on the 1936 under the National Socialists promotion to Attorney General at the Berlin Court of Appeal "shortened". The political scandal in the Federal Republic revealed by the Stuttgarter Nachrichten in December 1956 (after five years) led after another five years of disciplinary juridical battles (it was also about, with which title one was allowed to address him: "Reichsanwalt aD") finally to a " Gnadenpension "of 600 DM. An attempt was not made by Eugen Gerstenmaier, because the treaty for the settlement of war and occupation issues of May 26, 1952 forbade a repeated condemnation by German courts.
Ernst Launtz
Can you get an idea of the thousands killed by this man with that seems a innocent-looking jurist when he is in prison?
Schlegelberger Reich Minister of Justice
Schlegelberger, who was Minister of Justice of the Third Reich between 1941 and 1942.
Schlegelberger was firmly condemned in Nuremberg to life imprisonment. His participation in war crimes and against humanity was proven there.
Schlegelberger became provisional Reich Minister of Justice for the years 1941 and 1942, followed then by Otto Thierack. During his time in office the number of death sentences rose sharply. He authored the bills such as the so-called Poland Penal Law Provision (Polenstrafrechtsverordnung) under which Poles were executed for tearing down German posters. Schlegelberger's attitude towards his job may be best encapsulated in a letter to Reich Minister and Chief of the Reich Chancellery Hans Heinrich Lammers:
Dear Reich Minister Dr. Lammers,
Schlegelberger
Upon the Führer-order of 24 October 1941 forwarded to me through Mr. State Minister and Chief of the Führer's and Reich Chancellor's Presidial Chancellery, I have handed the Jew Markus Luftglass, sentenced to 2½ years in prison by the Special Court in Katowice, over to the Gestapo for execution.
Heil Hitler!
most obedient
— Schlegelberger
However, for medical reasons, he was released in 1950. He lived two decades in Flensburg until his death on December 14, 1970. Flensburg, practically on the German-Danish border .For years afterward, he drew a monthly pension of DM 2,894 (for comparison, the average monthly income in Germany at that time was DM 535)
The widow of a Jewish Holocaust architect
Another personality infamous for his connection to the original Nazism of Schleswig-Holstein is Lina Heydrich. This woman died in her hometown, Fehmarn (east of Schleswig-Holstein), in 1985. Lina took much of her life the name of her first husband, Reinhard Heydrich. This high office of the III Reich is considered one of the architects of the Holocaust. Because of its implacable and cold character, Adolf Hitler called him in his day "the man with the heart of steel".
Heydrich and wife
Heydrich died in 1942 after being injured in the so-called Operation Anthropoid. This was an attack carried out by Czech and Slovak agents that would end up costing the life to which he was responsible for the Central Office of Security of the Reich and Nazi leader in the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia -now the Czech Republic-. His wife, Lina, showed that she never forgot it. She dedicated his memoirs, published in 1976. They were entitled Leben mit einem Kriegsverbrechen (Ed. Ludwig Verlag, 1976) or "Life with a war criminal".
Heydrich & wife
Cases like those of Heydrich, Schlegelberger, Lautz or Catel may be the most notorious. But there were a huge number of people with a Nazi past who re-established their lives in Schleswig-Holstein. In post-World War II Germany, denazification did not come immediately after Hitler's suicide or with the German capitulation of May 7, 1945. In the case of Schleswig-Holstein, the fact arises that, before conflict, it was already one of the regions that most support the Nazi party had experienced.
"In the general elections of July 1932, the increase of the votes to the Nazi party reached a record of 51% when in the rest of the country the increase was of 37.7%", according to the accounts of the historian Anthony McEllignott, of the University of Limerick (Ireland). Those who, like him, have studied the Schleswig-Holstein case, note that in no other region of Germany did the Nazi party's support grow in its phase of political ascent.
The most Nazi region in the 30s
Hence Schleswig-Holstein he calls "the brown province". The brown, in the chromatic code with which the German political parties are identified, is the color attributed to the NSDAP. Currently, the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) of Chancellor Angela Merkel is the black and the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD) is the red. After the Second World War, the brown influence in German politics could be considered to have disappeared. But the Nazis were still there. In the regional parliament of Schleswig-Holstein, without going any further.
"In Schleswig-Holstein, from the elections to the regional Parliament of 1958, it is known that 50% of the members of the chamber were former members of the Nazi party," explains Bruhn, the history specialist for the northern German Land. "But these members did not have antidemocratic behavior, the old elites of the regime worked here, yes, but integrated into the new country," says this historian, alluding to West Germanyparison, the average monthly income in Germany at that time was DM 535).

Introducing Your New Favorite Cookware Brand
All-Clad is about to get oven roasted.
By Jeremy Berger
The best cookware brands have blue collar origin stories. Founded in 1865 as a "butt factory" that made hardware and stove products beside the Erie Extension Canal in Pennsylvania, Griswold became the biggest name in cast iron cookware in the late 19th century; today, their skillets fetch a premium on eBay and at flea markets. All-Clad, based in Canonsburg, Pennsylvania, was founded by a metallurgist named John Ulam, who applied his know-how with bonded metals to cookware in 1971, creating the first multi-ply pans. Then there's Marie + Merrill, a new direct-to-consumer startup selling US-manufactured cookware, founded by two guys with no professional experience in metals or cooking — and they're about to sell you your next sauté pan at a steep discount compared to competitors.
That's not the whole story, of course. Marie + Merrill founders John Early and Graham Heard, who worked in eCommerce at Shopify and Billy Reid, respectively, became interested in cookware when they decided to upgrade their own pots and pans. What they noticed was an abundance of cheap products at one end and very expensive products on the other, but not much of good quality at an affordable price.
"The other thing I noticed," Early said, "is that there was a common trend of cookware, similar to mattresses, being sold through these ridiculous sales. It got me wondering: Why is this product able to be sold at such a discount? There has to be a lot of margin there. Looking into it further, it's a pretty simple product."
The specific expertise the factory provides is the ability to make cookware with an aluminum core wrapped in stainless steel, in which the aluminum extends all the way to the sides of the pan.
They found one of the few remaining independent factories in the US — a place they contractually can't name, but which is in Wisconsin — capable of manufacturing multi-ply cookware at scale. The specific expertise the factory provides is the ability to make cookware with an aluminum core wrapped in stainless steel, in which the aluminum extends all the way to the sides of the pan. This construction, originally owned by All-Clad (the IP has since expired) creates a pan that excels in heat distribution, heat retention, and which doesn't react too quickly to temperature changes — like when you add add a room-temperature steak to a hot pan.
Marie + Merrill, named for Early's grandmother and Heard's grandfather, will launch on Kickstarter in late September with a line of three skillets (8, 10, and 12 inches), two sauté pans (10 and 12 inches) and five pots ranging from two quarts to eight. Prices begin at $60 for the smallest skillet and go up to $140 for the largest pot. We got our hands on an early production model of the 10-inch skillet, which is a beautiful brushed stainless pan with a riveted handle. At $70, its not cheap. But it's still $20 less expensive than the All-Clad equivalent on sale.

The Investment Management industry is fixated on short term performance.
Unlike most professions, a rookie investor can do better than a professional over the short term. You'd never expect an amateur to beat Roger Federer in a tennis match but plenty of amateur's portfolios will outperform Warren Buffet over the short to medium term. It's only over the longer term that you can ascertain the skill of each investor.
The majority of investment managers, asset consultants and investors obsess over short term performance. As many individuals cannot access their pension funds until retirement it would make more sense to analyze a style of investing or an asset class that outperforms over the long term.
Investment Managers that underperform the market over short periods are vulnerable to having their funds taken away.
"It's still true that the biggest players in the public markets – particularly mutual funds and hedge funds – are not good at taking short-term pain for long-term gain. The money's very quick to move if performance falls off over short periods of time" Jeffrey Ubben allows investment managers to focus their attention on longer term opportunities or 'time arbitrage' which tend to be less crowded.
No investment style can guarantee outperformance all the time. Even the Investment Masters, who are renowned for their long term investment performance, have short to medium term periods where they have underperformed or lost money.
Francois Rochon has beaten the index by 6.1%pa since 1993 (Remember a few extra percentage points compounded over a long period leads to significant outperformance). Yet Francois historically has, and expects to, underperform the index on average every three years.
The key is to ensure any negative returns reflect short term volatility rather than the permanent loss of capital due to deteriorating underlying business fundamentals.
When evaluating an investment manager it is important to analyze long term performance to ensure it wasn't a result of luck.
Short term outperformance doesn't imply a well constructed and low risk portfolio.
Investment consultants and investors have a tendency to place excessive emphasis on past results. More often than not, short term out performance is followed by a period of subpar performance.
So funds can have good performance for the long run yet still be a dangerous investment. A brilliant long term track record of returns will turn to nothing if the portfolio suffers a zero or significant loss.
A classic example of this was the hedge fund Long Term Capital Management. The fund, managed by legendary traders, a former vice chairman of the Federal Reserve and two Nobel prize winning economists, delivered exceptionally stable positive returns with low volatility until it all came crashing down.
LTCM's performance is analogous to the 'Thanksgiving Turkey' in Nicholas Taleb's book 'Fooled by Randomness'.
Similarly, the absence of volatility and losses in Madoff's Ponzi scheme was not evidence the strategy was a sound investment. LTCM and Madoff highlight that an impressive long track records does not shelter you from the risk of terminal destruction. It's paramount to understand the risks behind the returns.
As Buffett has long said he would not take any risk of permanent loss of capital.
The Investment Masters acknowledge the folly of being focused on short term performance.
Instead of focusing on short term performance the Investment Masters tend to focus on the underlying performance of the companies they own.
Don't forget successful investing is hard work and Long term outperformance is difficult.


I have to admit that sometimes I get a little discouraged about just how much my body has changed now that I am middle aged. I'm not nearly as strong as I used to be, and since I walk big, rowdy shelter dogs three times a week, that's not something I can ignore. I can't read normal print without reading glasses, and no matter how carefully I style my hair and put on my make up before an evening out, my double chin is joining me for dinner.
But what I need to remember is that these changes are nothing new, and that my body has actually been changing for my entire life. Obviously, growing from an infant to an adult involved lots of changes, but it's not as if I went from having the body of a twenty-year old to the body of a middle-age woman over night. The process has been slow and gradual, even when I was too busy to pay attention.
I remember the time I got the bright idea to show my young daughter how to do a backward roll, since she had just started taking gymnastic classes at the YMCA. I squatted down, put my hands palms-up on my shoulders, ducked my head and rolled backwards. Seconds later, as I was laying flat on my back and wondering if I would ever walk again, I realized that I was past the stage in my life when I could do a backward roll. I was in my mid-thirties at the time. My eyesight began to fade in my mid-forties, and the late forties/early fifties brought the joy of menopause. By my mid fifties, I could no longer lift really heavy things, and eating rich food late at night could lead to very unpleasant consequences.
So although I sometimes may feel a bit ambushed by all the physical changes I have to deal with in my middle age, the truth is that my body has been changing for years, and usually not for the better. And while I still don't like all the changes, it does help to realize that coping with with them is nothing new, and that I've been doing it successfully for quite awhile now. I own six sets of reading glasses, spread strategically throughout the house and in my purse. I've bought the discs that let me slide furniture across the floor rather than have to lift it, and I'm discovering that there are all kinds of exercise classes out there for the, shall we say, "maturing" woman. Because the truth is that this changing body stuff really isn't anything new, and it's nothing I can't handle. I just need to remember that…..
Love reading your blog Ann! The same rings true for me!
Good point, Laurie! I remember when skipping was as natural as walking, but that was a long time ago.


Also known as Calibrachoa , Million Bells are extremely pretty, easy to grow, and make a wonderful display in a container garden.
Most are two-tone colored to some degree, with a darker stripe in the center of each petal very common.
However, there are some incredible varieties of Calibrachoa, including the stunning Lemon Slice , which is one of the prettiest yellow flowers we've ever seen!
You could plant them alone, as shown in the photo, or in contrast to a dark background plant. Either way, Million Bells will not let you down.

Home Miami Law News Articles 2019 January Clinic Students Bring Community Together to Prepare for Mediation
Clinic Students Bring Community Together to Prepare for Mediation
Over 300 plaintiffs have signed on to a class action lawsuit suing the City of Fort Myers and its mayor and city manager. When the city indicated that it was open to mediating the claims contained in the suit, clinic students from Miami Law's Environmental Justice Clinic faced the challenge of determining how to incorporate meaningful community input into the mediation process. As part of the clinic's seminar class, the students covered how to advocate for a client who extends beyond the individual into an entire community and how to incorporate community empowerment through the litigation process. For the clients in Fort Myers, EJC students were not merely discussing community lawyering as a theory but were applying its principles first-hand.

Environmental Justice Clinic students Abigail Fleming and Daren Hooper
Working together with community leaders, EJC students made this a reality. They decided to hold a community workshop the weekend before mediation was set to take place to assess what the community would want to see from the city in order to end the litigation. EJC students designed the workshop with small breakout groups so that everyone had an opportunity to speak and provide input. The breakout groups were led by community representatives to ensure that the discussion remained within the community.
"Many times within class action litigation the voices of those represented are not heard and take little or no part in the litigation," EJC fellow Abigail Fleming said. "Community meetings are an excellent way to bring class members together, not only to gather data but to allow them to have a voice; it is especially essential in a community like Dunbar, an African American community in one of the most segregated cities in the country."
After the small groups, the larger group gathered together where a representative from each group reported back to all the participants, presenting the ideas from each of the breakout groups and compiling a list of outcomes that the community would like to see from mediation. With the entire list finished, everyone was given two stickers to put next to what they believed were the two most desired results. The proposed items were then discussed as a group. The discussions highlighted areas where individuals disagreed, but more importantly, they also stressed where the community was united and spoke with one voice.
"One remarkable point of consensus," said EJC Acting Director Natalie Barefoot, "was that the community would like to see a memorial placed on the site after it has been remediated. The request has nothing to do with monetary gains or punishing the city, but rather to honor those in the community who were taken from them sooner than they should have been because of the toxic dump."
Almost 100 community members participated, some driving from as far away as Georgia for the workshop. EJC intern Alex Meyer said, "seeing the Dunbar community come together and assert their voices through the community meeting was inspiring and truly helped to motivate and focus our work."
"During the Dunbar pre-mediation meeting, the community members voiced their concerns," said Fleming. "They worked together, as communities should, to come up with solutions. It gave the community a voice, but also power."
The EJC took the recommendations to the mediation the following weekend and conveyed them to the defendants throughout the process. Whether the city will take on any of the community's demands remains to be seen, as settlement negotiations are ongoing, but there is value in the fact that the community – which for decades has been discriminated against and neglected by its governing leaders – came together and raised its voice. "It made our work feel even more important to see that the community was not going to give in to the city without a fight," said EJC intern Daren Hooper.
The case involves a site in the middle of the historic African-American community of Dunbar where the City of Fort Myers had dumped arsenic-contaminated sludge and maintained the open dump for decades. Supported by the EJC, along with outside counsel, North Carolina-based firm Davis & Whitlock and individual attorney, Ralf Brookes, the plaintiffs filed suit claiming violations of environmental law (the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act) and tort law. The Dunbar community is demanding that the City of Fort Myers remediate the dumpsite, award damages for their violations of tort law, and establish a medical monitoring program to assist the community now facing a heightened risk of contracting diseases related to exposure to the contamination.

Ginhouse - Ginhouse (1971 uk, great heavy prog rock, Mini LP Ltd Edition)
Ginhouse were a trio from Newcastle consisting of Stewart Burlison (bass, vocals), Geoff Sharkey (guitar, vocals) and David Whitaker (drums). They only recorded one album. Although Ginhouse had a strong live performance at the time - they supported bands like Yes, The Who and Fleetwood Mac - this album appeared to be their swan song; they disbanded in 1972. The first reissue on CD dates from 1993 on Green Tree Records, but it failed to reach the office of Background Magazine. Thanks to Esoteric Recordings this recently remastered reissue gave me a second chance to discover the music of this band.
When you listen to this album forty years after it has been recorded you can say that it sounds rather outdated. However, I guess that isn't a problem as long as the compositions have something to say music wise. Well, this is certainly the case and I often wondered why this band never made it to the top. Not all pieces these musicians recorded for their sole effort can be regarded as progressive rock. Mainly songs as The Journey, Portrait Picture and Fair Stood The Wind drew my attention all the way. On these tracks the keyboard parts played by producer Anders Henriksson push the music of Ginhouse towards a musical style strongly related to In The Court Of The Crimson King (1969), the debut album by King Crimson. The combination of the lead vocals, which occasionally sound like the voice of Greg Lake, the acoustic guitar, organ and Mellotron flutes reminded me of several tracks from that album.
At the time Ginhouse were also influenced by the music of The Beatles which can be heard throughout the album. Therefore I wasn't really surprised to hear that they covered And I Love Her, one of the many Lennon & McCartney songs. They made a rather heavy version of this mellow acoustic song. Apart from the already mentioned influences I also heard touches of the hard rock scene that flourished in those days. Ginhouse's music isn't as heavy and loud as the music recorded by bands as Deep Purple or Black Sabbath, although the overall sound is clearly dominated by the electric guitars. Finally I heard some elements from psychedelic rock and folk music.
