SCORES OF WOMEN'S GROUPS CALL FOR NEWHAM MAYOR TO RE-INSTATE FUNDING FOR BME REFUGES
The London Black Women's Project, running specialist BME refuges for 32 years, risks closure by the Council on November 5th.
Today (Tuesday 29th October) a range of women's organisations have written an open letter to the Mayor of Newham, Rokhsana Fiaz, calling on the Council to re-instate funding for the London Black Women's Project specialist BME refuges.
London Black Women's Project has been running the Newham refuges for 32 years and yet risks closure on November 5th unless the Council reverses its decision. The letter has been signed by Imkaan, the End Violence Against Women Coalition, The Fawcett Society, Women's Aid and Rape Crisis England & Wales among others.
The actor and comedian Meera Syal, the patron of London Black Women's Project says:
"London Black Women's Project quite literally saves the lives of women and girls, and supports them to regain safety and a sense of self. It is desperately important work that they have been doing for 32 years. Such deep knowledge and expertise is to be treasured and it would be a travesty for Newham to deliberately force its closure. I am proud to be the patron of London Black Women's Project and want to add my voice in calling for the full reinstatement of their funding."
A service user of the refuge says:
"If LBWP was to be closed down, it would be devastating for the women and children who would need the same support that I needed when I was at the refuge. This refuge saved my life."
The letter sets out the specialism that London Black Women's Project offers:
"LBWP services were developed more than three decades ago from the grassroots up to meet the specific and unique needs of BME women and children in the community who are arguably the most marginalised. LBWP understands the barriers that BME communities face and have shaped their work to reflect these specific needs via a 'by and for' service. This means support services that are run by and for women from the communities they wish to serve. This model offers an empowering experience to women and children, as the service users can see themselves reflected in an organisation that looks like them, speaks their languages, represents their needs and values their voice, agency and presence."
Rena Sodhi, the Director of London Black Women's Project says:
"In the last year London Black Women's Project has supported over 170 women and children through the refuge service and also provided counselling, legal advice and advocacy support to over 600 women and girls.
"We cannot stand by while our vital, life-saving services, which have been built by and for BME women are decimated and destroyed by funding decisions such as this one. Council leaders and others need to understand that there is a very big difference between funding large non-specialist organisations with no base in the borough to supporting specialist smaller local charities that understand the specific cultural and intersectional needs of the women we work with. .Safe refuges that are geared to the needs of the women who use them is not a luxury, it's a must have."
Imkaan has found that BME women and children find BME services empowering as they can see themselves reflected in the governance, management and staffing of led by and for organisations. (2)
A downloadable PDF of the letter is available here, with the full list of signatories. It has been sent to the London Borough of Newham Council Cabinet, and copied to the Newham MPs - Lyn Brown MP, Stephen Timms MP, as well as the Mayor of London Sadiq Khan and Deputy Mayor Sophie Linden and the Chair of London Councils Councillor Peter John OBE.
We are urging the public to join our call by using social media in support of specialist BME services, which are being decimated across the country.

And it was a whole different storyline.
but a reporter uncovers the truth and why it was covered up.
So Nothing, no thoughts? No comments, 495 views????
Boring topic???? I thought this would have some discussion?
reading an interview with Kenny Rogers.
interview, until he diverted to Garth Brooks.
there is going to be a movie.
earth shattering album that changes the world.
How and why did the original script change???
accident and an epic album that changes the world.
to be a feel good movie.
say "Here's the thing" and low ball it.
a story and change the main idea??
Chris Gaines was ever mentioned by anyone else.
Can someone help me out here??
Interesting. I don't recall the Kenny Rogers comments. Did you ever do a search in the Forums here to see if that was ever discussed at the time? This board was pretty much on top of things back then, and if that happened, I'm pretty sure it would have been discussed here. I'm not disputing what you read...I'm just wondering if it was one of those spoof articles that crop up.
it seemed to be a legitimate website, that I had gone to before.
Ive done a search of PG forums but cant find anything.
This was in 1996 or 1997, Garth had not mentioned Chris Gaines at all then, so Im guessing it cant of been a news site making it up.
Perhaps I dreamt it years later, and im confused or something.

I found this from planet garth, but ITS from 1999.


A recent epidemiologic study on professional Italian football players engaged in series A and B between 1970 and 2001 showed how the frequency of ALS is significantly higher (approximately 6.5 times) and the age of onset is net inferior (on average 43 years) with respect to the occurrence in the general Italian population. The origin of such increase and precocity is unknown.
It is possible to hypothesise, beyond the intense physical activity typical of an agonistic sport, that the increase in frequency is correlated to the use of substances assumed for the improvement in athletic performance and/or the use of pharmaceuticals for a prolonged period or in greater quantities with respect to the indicated therapeutic use. It is also assumable that there is a correlation with the specific traumas related to the game of football (for example, the headshot) or the prolonged exposure to toxins such as fertilisers and herbicides used on the football fields.
The fact that despite all of the football players examined being exposed to the same or similar environmental risk factors and only some of them contracted ALS indicates that the genetic characteristics that predispose some individuals to develop the disease probably exist. Therefore, to deepen the awareness regarding possible environmental factors and to identify the predisposed genes may provide very useful elements to identifying the origin of the disease in the 4000 Italian patients that are not professional football players.
The principal objectives are therefore, those of researching the bio-molecular characteristics that can define the increase in risk of developing ALS in professional football players and by means of these characteristics, identifying possible diagnostic indicators of the disease and possible targets for the development of new strategic therapies.
4) identify by means of proteome analysis proteome analysis (proteome analysis) new biochemical indicators that are characteristic of the disease.
This study was created by the consolidated collaboration between Dr. Gabriele Mora of the Salvatore Maugeri Foundation in Pavia and Prof. Adriano Chiò of the Department of Neuroscience in Turin who were the authors of the survey on ALS in football players, along with the basic scientific contributions by Dr. Caterina Bendotti of the Department of Neuroscience at the "Mario Negri" Institute who has worked in this area for numerous years.
The overall cost of this study amounts to 220,000 Euro and includes 3 biennial scholarships, the necessary reactants for conducting the experiment and the acquisition of an instrument (Bio-Plex System, Bio-Rad).

Washington Irving was born on April 3, 1783, the youngest of eleven children. During his early career, he studied law and travelled widely in Europe. He first began writing in journals and newspapers, and was editor of Analetic magazine from 1812 to 1814.
Irving's first book was a comic history of Dutch New York, which was published in 1809 under the pseudonym "Dietrich Knickerbocker", for which the Knickerbocker school of writers was later named. With the success of a collection of short stories, The Sketch Book Of Geoffrey Crayon, Gent., which included "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" and "Rip Van Winkle," Irving was able to write full time; the sequel to the Sketch Book, Bracebridge Hall, appeared in 1822.
During the years from 1815 to 1832, Irving lived in various places in Europe, where he met Mary Shelley and Henry Wadsworth Longfellow and, while staying in Spain, wrote several historical books including two about Christopher Columbus. He returned to New York and was welcomed as the first American writer to receive international acclaim. He settled at Sunnyside manor in Tarrytown, where, except for his time serving as U.S. Ambassador to Spain, he spent the rest of his life. His later works include Mahomet and His Succesors and The Life of George Washington. He died on November 28, 1859, and was buried in Sleepy Hollow, NY.
The adventures of Black Sam (Mud Sam), a black fisherman.
The true story of Captain Benjamin L. E. Bonneville, who left for California in May, 1832, but was not heard from and was suspected to be dead.
A narrative of western life, including a detailed description of the Native Americans.
Ichabod Crane is sent to Sleepy Hollow to investigate murders. There, he falls in love with Katrina Van Tassel, is bullied by Brom Bones, Katrina's beau, and finds out that there are some things science cannot explain.

A: I would guess that when deploying the .war file you provided an incorrect context root value, as the error suggests.

Studying CBD
Home About CBD
With vaping in the crosshairs, is CBD next? NPA thinks so
by Peter F.
in About CBD, What is CBD
As the Centers for Disease Control continues its investigation into vaping-related illnesses, and several states consider banning the sale of flavored vape products, the Natural Products Association (NPA; Washington, DC) is warning Congress that this public health crisis may inevitably extend to cannabidiol (CBD) products, some of which can also be vaped. The amount of people consuming CBD is also greater than those vaping—one in seven adults compared to less than 1% who vape—according to a Gallup Poll cited by NPA. The lack of regulatory action from FDA regarding CBD, says NPA, goes beyond vaping CBD, to tinctures, capsules, and other CBD delivery formats. As a result, NPA says, there is a concerning lack of quality control regarding these products.
"The tragic vaping crisis makes fatally clear that FDA inaction has life and death consequences," said Daniel Fabricant, PhD, president and CEO of NPA, in a press release. "The number of people vaping in the U.S. is miniscule compared to the number of Americans who use some sort of CBD, or what they think is CBD, on a daily basis. The problem is no one has any idea what is in these products, where they come from, or whether they contain deadly ingredients or additives. And no one knows how much CBD is healthy and at what consumption levels. That is why it is imperative for Congress to direct FDA to immediately begin its oversight and regulation of CBD products. If President Trump, Congress, and the FDA ignore this ticking time bomb, they will all be responsible for another public health crisis. Policymakers should not only address vaping but also establish a well-regulated marketplace for CBD, otherwise we'll be back here in a few weeks or months talking about death tolls from another unregulated product."
NPA has recently worked with Congressman Jerry McNerney of California's 9th congressional district to include a provision in the FY2020 House Agriculture Appropriations bill that would fund a Health Hazard Evaluation for setting a safe level of CBD consumption for consumers. The Senate Agriculture Appropriations committee is still considering the legislation. It is still unclear how FDA intends to regulate CBD, following a public meeting that took place on May 31, 2019, during which FDA heard hours of testimony from both advocates and opponents of CBD and other cannabis-based products. In a statement from FDA on June 14, 2019, the agency offered no insights into how it will regulate CBD, stating only that it must evaluate the available data and take a science-based approach. Even former FDA commissioner Scott Gottlieb, MD, expressed frustration at the lack of progress and offered his opinions about a potential solution in an op-ed published in the Washington Post.
RELATED First CBD oil to be approved by the European Medicines Agency
While the industry waits for FDA and Congress to act, the wheels of commerce continue to turn, allowing unscrupulous suppliers to sell adulterated products as CBD. This puts consumers at risk, as well as the larger CBD marketplace, despite the hard work of responsible manufacturers to legitimize and destigmatize CBD and cannabis-derived ingredients.

We study the effects of cannabidiol (CBD), a non-psychoactive component of cannabis that does not produce the high associated with smoking or using it."There is a lot of debate on the health effects of marijuana and the use of cannabinoids, which are a group of compounds found in marijuana that have anti-inflammatory, pain-relieving, anti-nausea and anti-emetic properties. However, there is a lack of solid scientific evidence to guide us in the application of cannabis therapeutics."

Introducing Ray Newal, Managing Director of the First Techstars Accelerator Dedicated to Emerging Markets Entrepreneurs
Posted by Ray Newal June 27, 2018 in Accelerators, Announcements
It is an honour to be offered the opportunity to establish Techstars Bangalore, which will be our first mentorship-driven accelerator in India, focused on supporting emerging markets entrepreneurs.
Techstars Mentorship-driven Accelerators are not new to Indian entrepreneurs. Just ask the founders of ClassPass, Kinetic, and Stasis Labs. In fact, almost 5 percent of applicants to any of the 40+ Techstars programs around the world hail from India. The Techstars community now includes more than 10,000 mentors, and through our mentorship-driven accelerators, we've invested in 1375 companies from more than 40 countries. We believe that great mentorship can make exponential leaps possible for early stage startups, and the experiences of thousands of founders that have gone through Techstars accelerators around the world confirm this.
It gives me great pleasure to announce that founders from India and surrounding countries will now be able to access the world's best accelerator program in their own backyard. This is not only a validation of the importance of the Indian startup ecosystem, but also of tech startups addressing emerging markets problems throughout the world.
In 2009, I left a career in corporate tech in North America to build a mobile video company in India. Why would I choose to build a startup in India? I felt at that time, that the people who were to receive the greatest positive life impact from the internet, were yet to come online. If we could find a way to get these people online in India, we could re-apply a lot of this knowledge to serve the remaining 4 billion people in the world that were still ignored by the internet. Overcoming accessibility issues to stream rich content over poor networks would be our path to bringing these people online for the first time, or so the thinking went.
Before I arrived in India, we had already invested more than a year developing the product, go to market strategy, and had even secured a partnership with a large Indian digital media company. However, upon my arrival in 2010, I realized most of our assumptions of the market were way off.
Those first six months in India would completely re-inform the way we saw the challenge. Largely through relentless focus on understanding the pains felt by our target market, and navigating the complexities of connecting with an audience that is poor, and out of reach of most app stores, we managed to define a strategy that resonated with local investors. Over the course of the next few years, as one of the top apps on Nokia feature phones, we would end up streaming some of India's top TV shows and films to millions of first time internet users.
Why India is the right place for this:
India is home to 1.2 billion people, of which 600 million are under the age of 25. The number one occupational aspiration of most of these young people (females and males alike) is to become engineers. Government initiatives such as the India Stack, will ensure that every one of India's citizens will one day be able to transact without a wallet, signature, or cash. Through one part of the stack called Adhaar, Unique Identification Numbers are already linked to the biometric data of 1.2 billion people. As the largest open API in the world, India Stack is available to developers who regularly participate in government initiated hackathons. This national fascination with building hardware and software, combined with a willingness to adopt next generation technologies at extreme scale make India the perfect proving ground for emerging markets startups.
Perhaps this is also why India is one of the most popular hubs in the world for Global Innovation or In-house Centres (GICs) of multinational corporations, one-third of which are based in Bangalore. Thousands of engineers working at these modern day R&D facilities shape and execute the technology roadmaps of global leaders such as Boeing, Shell, Walmart, and Goldman Sachs among many others. In total, 1150 multinationals have GICs that employ almost 800,000 people across the country. As India grows to become one of the largest consumers of MNC products and services in the world, it makes sense that future innovations are ideated and developed here.
What we're looking for:
Over the course of my startup journey, I recognized the brilliance of many local Indian entrepreneurs that had deep and sometimes orthogonal perspectives about serving segments of the Indian market. Not only did they hold unique insights that would ultimately unlock whole market segments, but their life experiences had left them with an unshakeable tenacity and resilience.
These entrepreneurs are not unique to India, but can be found in any developing country. Necessity is truly the mother of invention, and founders in places such as Brazil, Indonesia, Nigeria, and the Philippines have lived through times of incessant need.
As Managing Director of Techstars India, it's my passion and purpose to find and support these brilliant entrepreneurs by helping them to connect with mentors with the ability to bring step change improvements to their startup journeys.
As is standard among all of its programs, Techstars will invest $120,000 USD in 10 chosen teams. We're looking for companies from around the world that are applying technologies including AI, Blockchain, AR/VR, Robotics, IoT and Big Data Analytics to solve core-India or emerging markets specific problems across the areas of food tech, agriculture, retail, banking, healthcare, manufacturing, urban planning, public sector, transportation, and logistics.
The Techstars Bangalore Accelerator kicks off on February 4th, 2019 and will culminate on Demo Day, May 2nd. Applications close October 14th, 2018 so please be sure to apply before the deadline.

India is not just a country, but an innovation gateway for the next 5 billion!
India is not just one country but a mini continent. And technology is helping the country leapfrog and positively impact the socio-economic landscape. Startups are the center of this transformation. To understand this a little more, consider the fundamental shifts happening across the country.
Demographic Shifts:
India is a country of 1.3 billion people, with around 900 mil of them experiencing the "mobile only" world for the first time. This provides a rich and diverse canvas for innovation as India is not just one country but a mini continent. There are 22 official languages, and 400-500 regional ethnic sects. In this environment, "scale" has a very different meaning. The template for innovation here is unique and different, and India serves as an innovation gateway for the next 5 billion people who are leapfrogging into the technologically connected world.
Economic Shifts:
India has about 150-200 million (3/4th of the US) people who are globally mobile and live in the cities. They have the same preferences and habits as any in the western world. Alongside this, there are 300-400 million (a little over the size of US) who live in Tier-2 cities. They understand English but prefer their local languages. They are aspirational and fast embracing mobile and internet. They are the mobile only users who are driving online consumption and next generation models. Next to them is another 700-900 mil (twice the size of the US) people who live in the rural villages and have started getting access to technology in the past three years. This segment of the population lives in a highly constrained environment with lack of access to healthcare, education, financial systems and have limited social and economic mobility. Technology and innovation have the potential to dramatically impact this segment and shape a better future.
Ecosystem Shifts:
India has a unique combination of domestic corporates, over 1000+ Fortune 2000 multinational companies, global system integrators, and government bodies looking at partnering with startups to accelerate innovation.

Life is an occasion. Rise to it.
WISH I WAS HERE is the first movie directed by Zach Braff since his indie breakout hit Garden State. The original screenplay is by the director and his brother Adam. The new movie tells a funny, touching, universal story of what it means to be at a major crossroads as a parent, spouse, and child -- all at once.
Aidan Bloom (Zach Braff) and his wife Sarah (Academy Award nominee Kate Hudson) live in Los Angeles with their two children, Grace (Joey King of Fargo) and Tucker (Pierce Gagnon of Looper). Sarah supports the family with her public service job, while struggling actor Aidan auditions and escapes into fantasies about being the futuristic space knight of his childhood dreams.
Gabe (Mandy Patinkin of Homeland), the widowed father to Aidan and bachelor Noah (Josh Gad of Frozen), has been paying for his grandchildren's schooling but now no longer can. While Gabe musters considerable strength to battle his serious illness, Aidan eschews cultural traditions and embarks on a chaotic attempt to home-school Grace and Tucker. Away from his brother's household, Noah tries to assert his creativity by crafting a distinctive costume to wow a comic-book convention and woo cosplay enthusiast Janine (Ashley Greene of Twilight).
Aidan's curriculum for Grace and Tucker leads to some surprising self-discoveries for everyone. Further reassessing his career, his family, and his faith, Aidan realizes that he and those closest to him can find fulfillment by exploring new chapters in their lives.

NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — New Jersey Democratic U.S. Sen. Bob Menendez says President Donald Trump's attack on NBA star LeBron James is part of a larger pattern of racist behavior.
Menendez wrote in a tweet Monday that Trump wouldn't have questioned James' intelligence or charity work if he were white. Trump criticized James on Friday after an interview aired with CNN anchor Don Lemon in which he deemed Trump divisive.
Menendez has been a vocal opponent of the Trump administration's immigration policies. The two-term senator is in a tough re-election battle against Republican Bob Hugin.

Acclimatization of soil respiration to warming in a tall grass prairie
Yiqi Luo1,
Shiqiang Wan1,
Dafeng Hui1 &
Linda L. Wallace1
The latest report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) predicts a 1.4–5.8 °C average increase in the global surface temperature over the period 1990 to 2100 (ref. 1). These estimates of future warming are greater than earlier projections, which is partly due to incorporation of a positive feedback. This feedback results from further release of greenhouse gases from terrestrial ecosystems in response to climatic warming2,3,4. The feedback mechanism is usually based on the assumption that observed sensitivity of soil respiration to temperature under current climate conditions would hold in a warmer climate5. However, this assumption has not been carefully examined. We have therefore conducted an experiment in a tall grass prairie ecosystem in the US Great Plains to study the response of soil respiration (the sum of root and heterotrophic respiration) to artificial warming of about 2 °C. Our observations indicate that the temperature sensitivity of soil respiration decreases—or acclimatizes—under warming and that the acclimatization is greater at high temperatures. This acclimatization of soil respiration to warming may therefore weaken the positive feedback between the terrestrial carbon cycle and climate.

Thespian Thursday: The Court Jester
Thespian Thursday, video	by The Collected Mutineer February 15, 2018 April 28, 2018
by The Collected Mutineer
If someone asks me what my favorite film is, I'll probably say Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl. Or I might say Casablanca. Maybe The Princess Bride…? Okay, I have a long list of favorites that are difficult to choose from. But one movie that's been on the list since before I can even remember is perhaps the funniest spoof on medieval epics ever filmed: The Court Jester (1955).
I'm not the only person who thinks that, either. Critic Leonard Maltin gave the film four stars, saying that it's "one of the best comedies ever made." But it didn't always have such a funny reputation. It was an extremely expensive film (in fact, it was the most expensive comedy made at the time) that bombed at the box office and was a disappointment to the studio. But luckily for us, The Court Jester followed in the footsteps of It's a Wonderful Life, gaining an enormous fan base and becoming a family favorite after being shown to the masses on television.
The Court Jester follows the adventures of a group of outlaws in medieval England who are determined to ensure that the rightful king—a young orphaned baby—is on the throne. Hubert Hawkins (Danny Kaye) is part of the outlaw gang, but not as a "Robin Hood"; he is silly and bumbling, and although he desperately wants to be part of the action, the leader of the group has put him in charge of entertainment. Hubert eventually gets his chance when he and the leader's daughter Jean must transport the baby king to safety. The pair is inevitably thrown into a den of intrigue, danger, and lies—all with heavy doses of jokes in true Kaye style.
The supporting cast is just as marvelous as Kaye, with stellar performances from Basil Rathbone (making fun of himself in previous films), Angela Lansbury (yes, and she is BEAUTIFUL), and Glynis Johns. Everything in this film adds up to not only being a wonderfully told story but a magnificent spoof with memorable lines from virtually every character in the same realm as Monty Python.
I won't give the rest away, but there is one scene that you may have heard referenced in other areas of pop culture, and that is well worth watching. I leave you with the film's most famously quoted exchange: "the vessel with the pestle."
If you enjoy medieval epics, comedies, or just generally making fun of stuff, you NEED to watch this. You can rent it on Amazon right now!

Q: Excel 2007 INDEX/MATCH using MIN on multiple IFs I've searched here and elsewhere for a solution to my problem. I've tried using different versions, including testing subsets, of the formula below, but have had no luck. I hope you can help me. This is for my personal use at home, as I'm now retired.
I'm using Excel 2007 on Win10. In a specified date range (subset of larger spreadsheet covering more dates before and after), I want to find the date the lowest electricity (kwh) usage occurred, but higher than a minimum of 9), but also only that measured for a 24 hour period. In this formula:
{=INDEX(A3934:A4966,MATCH(MIN(IF(C3934:C4966>9,IF(E3934:E4966=24,C3934:C4966))),C3934:C4966,0))}
Column A is Date, C is usage, E is time (expressed as a number, e.g., 22.75, 24.00, etc.)
Note: I'm not using named ranges
Excel finds a date of correct minimum usage, but the date has a time of less than 24 hours! (there are several dates with the same minimum usage, but only a couple for a 24 hour time period. It seems to work on a 20-day range of data, but if I expand it to the above range, it doesn't. Can you please tell me what is wrong with my formula (or approach)? I've tried reversing the usage and time criteria, but it made no difference (I didn't expect it to). Thanks very much.

A: I think it is solved....
{=INDEX(A3934:A4966,MATCH(MIN(VALUE(REPLACE(C3934:C4966,1,20,MIN(IF(E3934:E4966=24,1,99)*IF(C3934:C4966>9,C3934:C4966,99))))),C3934:C4966,0))}
I used 99 to have a higher number and exclude it from MIN function.

Introducing Elm's All-Equity Portfolios at Fidelity
By Victor Haghani and James White 1
Encouraged by some of our investors, we are introducing an All-Equity portfolio to our lineup of Separately Managed Account (SMA) programs at Fidelity. Elm's All-Equity program will have a Baseline of 100% Global Equities, in contrast to our current Global Balanced programs which have a Baseline of 75% Global Equities and 25% US Fixed Income.2 Our All-Equity portfolios will be managed algorithmically with a dynamic asset allocation driven by value and momentum, in line with the Active Index Investing® approach we've applied since 2012 to our Global Balanced portfolios. We will use low cost ETFs and index funds to construct client portfolios, will charge our standard 0.12% per annum management fee and will maintain our usual focus on cost and tax efficiency.3 The portfolios will be long-only, unlevered, and invest only in broad-market ETFs and index funds. Our All-Equity portfolios will always have a target of being fully invested in global equities. This note describes details of the asset allocation methodology, implementation and historical return simulation. Please feel free to email info@elmwealth.com or set up a call with us if you'd like to learn more, or go to the Invest with Us tab on our website to set up an account.
Who Might Want an All-Equity Portfolio
Our new All-Equity program is designed for investors who want Elm's global diversification and value-and-momentum approach to equities, but who want a relatively constant amount of equity exposure or want to manage their cash and fixed-income assets on their own.
In contrast, Elm's Global Balanced Program is designed for investors who want Elm to dynamically manage their exposure to equities versus fixed-income, with a balanced 75%/25% Baseline Asset Allocation as the starting point. This may be suitable for investors who want Elm to manage a meaningful fraction of their liquid wealth, who want to be more hands-off with their asset allocation, and who want an investment program with a risk level that varies through time as a function of the attractiveness of available investments.
Investors can also hold both a Global Balanced and an All-Equity account to achieve a Baseline risk level in between that of the two programs. This may be suitable for investors who want the dynamic risk level of a Balanced program, but who have a tolerance for a higher level of variability and expected return. With the normal caveats about past returns not being predictive of the future, simulated historical returns for the All-Equity program over the past roughly 40 years had about 50% more variability and 20% higher real returns than did the Global Balanced strategy, as described more fully in the Historical Simulation section below.
Elm's Active Index Investing® attempts to combine the best features of active investing and index investing to deliver superior long-term risk-adjusted returns. We do not follow the market-cap-weighting regimes of MSCI or FTSE, but rather we systematically construct our own Baseline Asset Allocations which we feel are more representative, diversified and risk/return efficient.4 We then add a dynamic overlay to our Baseline, following the principle that allocations should be proportional to forward-looking expected real returns, and drawing on value and momentum as the two primary indicators of expected returns. Allocating proportionally to expected real return has deep roots in Samuelson and Merton's work on Decision-Making Under Uncertainty starting in the early 1960s,5 and commonly used applications such as the Kelly Criterion. In turn, the value and momentum perspective was popularized by Asness, Moskowitz and Pedersen in their seminal "Value and Momentum Everywhere" paper, and by our own research including "A Case Study for Using Value and Momentum at the Asset Class Level," in the Journal of Portfolio Management, which traced this market phenomenon back to 1925.6
We use a value-and-momentum-driven approach to asset allocation because we believe that:
Simple valuation metrics like the Cyclically-Adjusted Earnings Yield of a broad equity market are robust predictors of the market's long-term expected real return,
Momentum is a good medium-term predictor because investors have a tendency to extrapolate future market returns from recent historical samples, which results in trends generated by "return chasing" behavior, and
Value and momentum signals often yield offsetting recommendations, which makes them more effective when used together than individually.
We are attracted to broadly diversified, rules-based investing which index products tend to facilitate, and to the cost and tax efficiency of index products. One of our core principles is to focus on costs, and you can see our note here on why we think reducing costs is even more important than meets the eye to maximizing investor risk-adjusted returns.
We start by constructing an All-Equity Baseline portfolio intended to be more representative of the Global Market Portfolio than the adjusted-market-capitalization indexes of MSCI and FTSE, with a moderate "home bias" preference for US investors. The process is the same as applied to constructing our Global Balanced Baseline, except in the All-Equity Baseline we put a 0% weight on fixed income assets.
The next step is to determine, at each portfolio rebalancing date, desired deviations from the Baseline weight of each asset bucket using a combination of a valuation metric and a momentum indicator. This is also done largely in the same way as we do for our Global Balanced program, with several modifications to fit the context of an All-Equity portfolio. Most significantly, we normalize the target weights so that they always sum to 100%, and we also impose a constraint that no bucket's target weight can be more than twice its Baseline weight.7 We measure momentum for each asset class relative to the return of the Baseline8 and we've reduced the intensity of the value signal to counter the amplification which can result from the target weight normalization process.9
The table below shows the Baseline weights and the desired targets as of September 30, 2018.
You can find more detail on our Baseline construction and value and momentum overlay here.
We will manage All-Equity SMA portfolios using Elm's proprietary Ulmus portfolio management system, which is designed to balance cost efficiency, tax efficiency and tracking error versus target weights on an account-by-account basis. As with the Global Balanced programs, we will rebalance portfolios on a 40-day cycle.10 We will also more frequently evaluate portfolios for tax-loss realization opportunities and use the Ulmus system to find and execute appropriate portfolio trades while taking account of wash-sale rules and transaction costs. We expect portfolios to have weighted average expense ratios (excluding Elm's 0.12% pa management fee) in the range of 0.08% to 0.12% per annum, and over time we expect ETF and index fund fees to decrease even further. The table below shows a sample of the instruments we intend to use to build All-Equity portfolios, though many more instruments are in our database for consideration and possible use.
Clients can add to or withdraw from their accounts at any time. We will normally invest additions of $50,000 or more on the business day following their credit to the account. We will invest lesser amounts at the next portfolio rebalance date.
While our target cash balance is 0%, accounts will in practice generally hold a small money market balance, from interim dividends and also as a cushion to insure smooth trade settlement. We will try to keep this cushion below 0.25% on each portfolio rebalance date.
Our SMA programs at Fidelity are available only to US investors,11 but if we receive sufficient interest from non-US investors we intend to structure an All-Equity Cayman fund for non-US investors too.
Historical Simulation
As usual, we stress that historical data on its own is not sufficient to establish that an investment strategy such as the one outlined in this note is a good one. We are firm believers that past returns are not indicative of future performance. However, history can lead us to conclude that a strategy is poor, and it is with that perspective that we look to the past.
The chart below shows a simulated back-test from December 31, 197412 to September 30, 2018. Our All-Equity program's dynamic value and momentum overlay added 1.3% pa of extra return with no material increase in volatility, sampled monthly, versus the returns of a static weight All-Equity Baseline portfolio. This is in line with what we would have expected given that the value and momentum overlay applied to the Global Balanced Baseline increased returns by 2.7% a year with no material increase in volatility over roughly the same historical period, as we reported in our 2016 Journal of Portfolio Management paper. This makes sense as the Global Balanced portfolio has more flexibility to vary its asset allocation compared to the All-Equity program.
The variability of the difference in returns between the dynamic and static All-Equity portfolios was 1.9% pa, sampled monthly, suggesting a Sharpe Ratio for the dynamic versus static strategy of 0.7 over the full period. This is consistent with the finding that the value and momentum overlay resulted in outperformance 60% of the time to a monthly horizon. However, as we'd expect, to a longer-term horizon of five years the outperformance was more consistent, occurring in 97% of 466 rolling five-year periods evaluated at the end of each month. This is shown in the chart below.
The final chart shows the simulated historical desired asset allocation of the dynamic value and momentum asset allocation. Portfolio turnover over the period averaged 60% per annum. In practice we expect lower turnover, as rebalancing would be every 40 days rather than monthly and we generally do not rebalance every bucket back to its exact desired weight.
Back-test Assumptions and Details
In order to simulate returns from 1975, we had to make a number of simplifications to the strategy owing to some data not being available over the entire history. Going forward, we would update the Baseline weights annually, but in this back-test we have kept them fixed at today's Baseline weights. However, we do not think this has a material effect on the performance of the value and momentum dynamic overlay relative to the Baseline. Also due to limitations of the available data, the buckets we've used for the back-test are not a perfect match of the buckets we will divide the portfolio into going forward. For example, the back-test does not include some buckets that we intend to use in the program in the future, such as low Price/Book and small cap buckets, and on the other hand the back-test has a more granular split than we intend to use going forward, with Europe split into Europe x-UK and UK and Developed Asia split into Developed Asia x-Japan and Japan. Return figures include a 0.3% per annum reduction in the dynamic All-Equity strategy for transactions costs, fees and non-recoverable foreign withholding taxes, 0.2% for the static Baseline and 0.15% for the MSCI All Country World index to May 31, 2008, and afterwards we use the total return of the iShares ETF ACWI. We assumed rebalancing back to target each month-end rather than every 40 days. We used the same Cyclically-Adjusted Earnings Yield centering point of 6% for all regional equity markets. In most other details, we generally made choices that would make the back-test consistent with how we have implemented our Global Balanced strategies.
We stress again that this historical data should not, by itself, be the basis for making an investment decision. The results suggest that an All-Equity program like we've conceived has been historically sensible. Still, the All-Equity program is primarily designed for investors who already like this style of investing on principle and would like Elm to provide a sophisticated and efficient implementation.
Please be in touch with any questions or suggestions. You can request a short presentation describing our Global Balanced and All-Equity SMA programs here. If you're an existing Elm investor and would like to open an All-Equity account, you can email us or give us a call, and if you're a new investor to Elm you can start the process for opening an account here.
This is not an offering document. Past returns not indicative of future returns. The value of an investment and the income from it can fall as well as rise and you may not get back the amount originally invested.

Shinall Leads Camels with 21 points, 5 boards & 5 steals in 40 Minutes of Action Gabelman Named to All-Tournament Team for Connecticut College WALTHAM, Mass.--Jenn Shinall (Redding, Conn.) tallied 21 points, five rebounds, five steals and two assists to lead the Connecticut College Camels to a 66-60 victory against Springfield College in the third place game of the Brandeis Women´s Basketball Judges Classic played at Red Auerbach Arena Sunday. The Camels even their record at 1-1 with the victory while the Pride slip to 0-3 with the loss. Shinall logged every minute of action Sunday and was 5-for-7 from three-point distance and a perfect 4-for-4 from the charity stripe. Tara Gabelman (Irvington, N.Y.) represented the Camels on the All-Tournament Team. Gabelman scored 22 points and grabbed 12 rebounds en route to a double-double, adding five assists and a pair of blocks. In the two games, Gabelman averaged 16.5 points, 9.5 rebounds and 2.5 assists, shooting a 48% clip from the floor (11-for-23) and 89% at the foul line (8-for-9). Caitlin Cimino (Falmouth, Maine) chipped in with a double-double of her own, dropping in 11 points and adding 10 boards for the winning side. Aly Boyle (Westford, Mass.) contributed eight points in 21 minutes of action for Connecticut College. Senior Abby Connors (Douglas, Mass.) netted 12 points to lead Springfield the setback. Meghan Biondolillo (Levittown, N.Y.) reached double figures with 10 points for the Pride. Senior forward Amelia Sapowsky (Ware, Mass.) added nine points and eight rebounds in the loss. Connecticut College reeled off a 9-to-2 run midway through the opening half to build a 24-17 lead. Shinall buried a triple with 9:31 remaining to cap the rally with 9:31 remaining. Gabelman had 14 points in the half and the Camels carried a 39-35 lead into the break. In the second stanza, the Camels continued to hold the advantage, pushing their lead back to seven on a pair of free throws from Cimino with 7:53 to go. But the Pride used a 9-to-2 run to battle back. Connors converted a hoop and one on the line with 2:52 remaining to even the score at 54 apiece. The Camels answered though, pulling ahead for good by scoring the next four points. Shinall knocked down a pair of freebies with 2:50 to play and Gabelman converted a field goal with 2:23 remaining to make it 58-54 game. Connecticut College sealed the victory on the foul line, converting their final six attempts on the charity stripe to close out the 66-60 win. The Camels shot 84% from the line (16-for-19) in the contest and connected on 40% of their attempts from long distance (8-for-20). The Camels ask you to support them with their Hoops for Hunger Food Drive Tuesday night. The women´s team will host the Nichols College Bison at 5:30 p.m. and the men tip-off at 7:30 against Roger Williams University. You can bring your non-perishable food items to the game and they will be donated to the Gemma E. Moran United Way/Labor Food Center in New London.

Sew What's New Archive • is it just me or is a sewing machine supposed to do this for me?
Sew What's New Archive > BEGINNER/BASIC SEWING > is it just me or is a sewing machine supposed to do this for me?
Ok, I just took my machine out for the first time in a while... I have been doing just hand sewing recently. well, isn't the machine supposed to push the fabric through just a little bit? because mine is not... I don't have a manual, as my machine is older. and i seem to remember it pulling the fabric through the last time i used it, is something set too tight??? help!
Krys, the feeddogs should be pushing the fabric through, if they are raised. Are you feeddogs down for some reason? I know that when you do some types of machine quilting, the feeddogs are down, and in embroidery machines, the feeddogs are down during that process, but raised back to normal position when doing regular sewing.
Maybe if you tell us what kind of machine you have, someone here will have knowledge of that particular machine, in case I'm not on the right track with my answer.
my machine is a Dressmaker... i'm going to go and check that now!!!!
Well, you were right... ~sigh~ thank you SEW much!!!!
I'm sew glad I could be of help! The only thing that made sense to me is that the feed dogs might be down for some reason. My machine does that automatically, which is nice because I sometimes forget to raise them, too.
I lower my feed dogs to clean the machine after every project and forget to raise them again almost every time.
