Basic stuff for some of us; gibberish for others. So if you have difficulty with this, ask your financial advisor for help.
Smart investors follow an asset allocation plan.
An asset allocation plan tells you how much of your total investments should be in stocks versus bonds and then gets into additional detail, such as how much should be in large company U.S. stocks (or index funds) vs. international vs. small cap.
In general, while you are saving, rebalancing can be easy. If you should have 10% of your investments in small cap, and you only have 5%, when you fund your IRA, you put it in a small cap fund.
This process gets more complex as you accumulate different types of accounts. You may have a 401(k), an IRA, a Roth IRA, or a 403(b). If a married, your spouse may also have multiple types of accounts. Maybe you also have a deferred comp plan or stock options. Now rebalancing must encompass which types of investments should be in which accounts. While working, as you add money to accounts you can make progress on maintaining the right balance by putting new deposits into the investment type that is most needed.
When you retire, if you have multiple types of accounts, it gets more complex. Should you withdraw from the S&P 500 Index SPX, +0.11% fund in your brokerage account first, or sell a portion of the stable value fund in the 401(k)? Some 401(k) funds won't allow you to choose which fund to sell. You may have to take withdrawals proportionately from each investment type, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it limits flexibility in how you manage your investments.
If you have enough wealth, rebalancing won't matter. I have one client who has about $2 million with my firm and manages the bulk of his investments, another $6 million, at Vanguard. I recently asked him how he manages cash flow in retirement. He said when his checking account gets too low he sells something at Vanguard. Pretty easy for him. The amount he is selling is small compared with his portfolio size, so his decision will have an insignificant impact on his portfolio allocation.
Most retirees don't have $8 million in financial assets. If you are a consistent saver, you may have $500,000 to $1.5 million; if you have a great job or inherited wealth, perhaps a bit more. You have enough to be comfortable, but the decisions on how you withdraw it will have a significant impact on your total wealth and available cash flow in retirement.
There are two primary approaches to rebalancing in the withdrawal phase: systematic withdrawals and time segmentation.
With systematic withdrawals, you withdraw proportionately from each investment type. For example, if you were withdrawing $30,000 from a $500,000 account which was allocated 60% to stocks and 40% to bonds, you would sell $18,000 of your stock holdings and $12,000 of your bond holdings, thus maintaining your 60/40 allocation. Systematic withdrawals are easy to manage if the bulk of your investments are in one account.
If you have multiple account types, systematic withdrawals are more difficult. For tax reasons, it often makes sense to withdraw from one type of account first, and that account may be allocated differently than other accounts. And, if you're married, your spouse may invest conservatively, while you invest more aggressively, or vice versa. Investing this way may not be optimal, but if you haven't coordinated your plan as a household, this is often the reality. Multiple accounts with varying tax consequences and an uncoordinated allocation make maintaining an appropriately balanced portfolio while withdrawing more challenging.
With time segmentation, first, you develop a plan that tells you which accounts to withdraw from in which years. Next, you match up the investments in those accounts with the point in time where you plan to take the withdrawals. If you know you are going to withdraw $30,000 a year for the first five years from the IRA, you will have $150,000 of the IRA in safe, stable investments, like CDs or bonds with maturities matched to the year of the withdrawal, or low duration bond funds.
As with all investment strategies, there are pros and cons to any approach. The biggest problem is many people don't have a plan at all. Having a well-tested retirement income plan brings peace of mind. A plan allows you to relax and enjoy your retirement years. If you are nearing retirement age and don't have a defined rebalancing strategy in place that shows you when and how you will take money out, it's time to get one.


Save the date for our New Member Orientation on Wednesday, May 22, 2019 at 7pm. The meeting will be held at the Tennis hut immediately following that Swim Team Meeting. In the case of inclement weather the meeting will be held on the 2nd floor of the clubhouse.


Designed to create a dialogue between fashion and the masterworks of religious art in the museum's holdings, the show will be presented in a trinity of locations: the Anna Wintour Costume Center, the medieval galleries at The Met Fifth Avenue (Galleries 980-981 & 300-305), and further uptown at The Met Cloisters.
Central to the exhibition, papal robes and accessories from the Sistine Chapel sacristy, many of which have never been seen outside The Vatican, will be on view in the Anna Wintour Costume Center.
The display of these extraordinary ecclesiastical pieces will highlight the enduring influence of religion and liturgical vestments on fashion, from Cristóbal Balenciaga to Versace, who is a sponsor of the show, alongside Christine and Stephen A. Schwarzman. Condé Nast will provide additional support. Among the 150 or so ensembles that will be on display are pieces by Coco Chanel, who was educated by nuns, and John Galliano, whose transgressive Fall 2000 Couture collection for Christian Dior opened with a mitred, incense-swinging pope-like figure who proceeded down the runway.
The exhibition will place fashion within "the broader context of religious artistic production" (like paintings and architecture), with Costume Institute curator in charge Andrew Bolton, working alongside colleagues from The Met's medieval department and The Cloisters.
Anna Wintour's 2018 co-hosts for this year's Met Gala, are: Amal Clooney, Rihanna, and Donatella Versace.
"Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination" is on view 10 May 2018 – 8 October 2018. A catalogue with photographs by Katerina Jebb will accompany the exhibition.

In our troubled world, too often addicted to consumerism, there is an almost magical country able to treasure its origins and traditions well. This is Bhutan. It remained isolated from major trade routes because of his geographical configuration : a compound of perched valleys in the heart of the Himalayan range. The country lives with a ruler strongly guided by the eternal, all pervading presence of Mahayana Buddhism. Bhutan is the only country in the world today to retain the tantric form of Buddhism as a state religion. This faith still plays a fundamental role in the culture and the way of thinking of the Bhutanese. Life today is the same as long ago and remains based on the respect of earth and nature, hence it is naturally and deeply ecological.
Many mysteries surround this country. Around the eighth century, Guru Padma Sambhava embarked on a legendary trip from Tibet to Bhutan. He even rode a "flying tiger", so says the folktales. We will climb to the Tiger nest near the Paro of today. Guru Rimpoche, a dedicated teacher, became in the 8th century the father of Mahayana Buddhism practiced in the country. In 1616, Ngawang Namgyal, a Tibetan lama of the Drukpa School, arrived in Bhutan and introduced a system of parallel religious and secular authorities. This unified the country, of which he became the main leader. Religious affairs were entrusted to a Je Khenpo. Unfortunately many quarrels and wars broke again out in this country consisting of isolated valleys and distant hills where real local authorities held the main power. This led, in 1907, during a meeting of religious and lay representatives, to the election of the first King of Bhutan. The monarchy is in place today with its fifth king, Jigme Khesar Wangchuk.
The Kingdom of Bhutan is located in the eastern part of the Himalayas, between Tibet and the territories of Assam and Bengal in the south, like cuddled amidst high mountains. The population mainly inhabits the central part and the Himalayan foothills. The country develops its landswape between 180 m and 7550 m above sea level. On the lower parts, the plains of Daurs, we find even a savannah and a semi-tropical vegetation of bamboo.
A trip to Bhutan is unlike any other. The country's economy is predominantly rural and tourism could provide a new form of economy, but the king's will is precisely to better manage the movements and avoid the crowds by charging relatively high prices from inbound visitors. Today, it is a privilege to visit this kingdom.

This information is provided as a guide only. You should get definitive information from the Spanish authorities. Read the general guidance on moving to and living in Spain from the Spanish government. The Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) is not liable for any inaccuracies in this information.

Some parts of this guide only apply if you were living in Spain since before 1 January 2021. You should read these in addition to the rest of the guidance in each section.
You should also read our Living in Europe page for detailed guidance about citizens' rights under the Withdrawal Agreement.
Follow the advice of the Spanish Government and your local authority. You should also read the Spain travel advice.
For information on getting a COVID-19 vaccine as a UK national in Spain, read the coronavirus travel advice.
You must tell the UK government offices that deal with your benefits, pension and tax if you are moving or retiring abroad.
Check the entry requirements for Spain.
Before you move to Spain you must apply for the appropriate visa from the Spanish consulates in London or Edinburgh, or the Spanish consulate in Manchester (details available from the Foreign embassies in the UK list. You must apply for your residence document as soon as you arrive in Spain. Your children must also be registered with their own residency documents.
Read the Spanish government's guidance on:
the different types of residence permit available to you (in Spanish)
If you have been living in Spain legally since before 1 January 2021, you and your family members have rights under the Withdrawal Agreement. You must ensure you are correctly registered as a resident. Your children must also be registered with their own residency documents.
If you are registering for the first time, you will be issued with a biometric residence card called a Tarjeta de Identidad de Extranjero (TIE). This card shows that you have rights under the Withdrawal Agreement.
If you registered as a resident before 6 July 2020, you will have a green A4 certificate or credit card-sized piece of paper from Extranjeria or the police. This is still a valid residency document. You do not have to exchange this document for the new TIE. However, we and the Spanish government strongly recommend that you do.
The TIE biometric card is more durable. It will also simplify administrative processes and border crossings. Read the Spanish government's guidance on how to apply for the new TIE.
Both the TIE and the green A4 certificate or credit card-sized piece of paper, exempt you from European Travel Information and Authorisation System (ETIAS) and visa requirements.
If you have difficulty using your green A4 certificate or credit card-sized piece of paper, read the Spanish government's informative note on documentation for UK nationals. This explains which documents you can use to prove your residence and Withdrawal Agreement rights in Spain. You can refer to this informative note when accessing public services and dealing with businesses that provide services.

Age in Spain
For details of official Spanish government and non-government organisations including in the voluntary sector, visit the Support in Spain website.
Your close family members are able to join you and settle in Spain at any time in the future. Read more information on who this applies to in the Living in Europe guidance. They should apply online before moving to Spain (in Spanish) or through a third party in Spain, such as a lawyer. Alternatively, they can apply within 3 months of arrival to Spain.
Depending on their nationality, some non-EU family members may need a visa before travel. The Spanish authorities should issue Withdrawal Agreement family reunion visas free of charge.
Read the Spanish government's guidance for 'UK nationals and their family members residing in Spain'. This explains how you and your close family members can apply for the TIE and how to renew your TIE before it expires.
If your request to register under the Withdrawal Agreement is refused, read the refusal letter carefully. It will set out the decision, the reasons for it, and how to appeal. You have 1 month to appeal from the date of the refusal letter.
The appeal process usually has 2 steps:
administrative appeal, where a different administrative authority reviews the decision
court appeal
The outcome of an appeal is final. If you want to appeal, we strongly recommend you seek independent, specialised legal advice. The British Embassy cannot get involved in individual immigration applications and we cannot provide legal advice.
seek legal advice using the Spanish Bar Association website (Spanish with English translation) or the list of English-speaking lawyers
read about access to legal aid in Spain
get help and advice, or make a complaint about how your registration request has been processed, free of charge, using the European Commission's specialist assistance service
If you do not want to appeal, or do not meet the criteria to reside in Spain under the terms of the Withdrawal Agreement, you should consider other options:
contact the local immigration services (servicio de atención al inmigrante) provided by your local town hall or regional government
read the Spanish government information on general immigration routes and criteria (in Spanish) and Spanish government information on immigration if you are in exceptional circumstances (in Spanish). These circumstances include if you are a victim of domestic violence, or if you can prove strong family, work or social links to Spain
contact organisations that specialise in migration issues, such as ACCEM (in Spanish) or Migrar.org (in Spanish) run by the Red Cross
read information on returning to the UK
Coronavirus travel restrictions may affect may affect travel to and from Spain.
You can apply for or renew your British passport from Spain. The British Embassy does not issue passports.
Check the Spain travel advice for passport validity requirements.
Always carry your passport when travelling within the Schengen area. If you have citizenship of an EU or European Free Trade Association (EFTA) country, in addition to your British citizenship, you should enter and leave Spain using your EU or EFTA passport.
If you stay in Spain with a Spanish residence permit or long-stay visa, this time does not count towards your 90-day visa-free limit for the Schengen area.
If you visit other Schengen area countries outside Spain, make sure you do not exceed the visa-free 90 days in any 180-day period. You are responsible for counting how long you stay under the Schengen visa waiver, and you must comply with its conditions.
Different rules apply to EU countries that are not part of the Schengen area. Check each country's travel advice page for information on entry requirements.
When you travel, carry your residence document (the green A4 certificate or credit card-sized piece of paper or the TIE) or frontier worker permit issued under the Withdrawal Agreement, in addition to your valid passport.
You must proactively show your residence document (the green A4 certificate or credit card-sized piece of paper or the TIE) if you are asked to show your passport at border control. If you have applied for, but not yet received, your residence document, show proof that your application is in progress.
If you cannot prove that you are a resident in Spain, you may be asked additional questions at the border to enter the EU. Your passport may be stamped on entry and exit. This will not affect your rights in the country or countries where you live or work. If a passport is stamped, the stamp is considered null and void when you can show evidence of lawful residence.
If you have rights under the Withdrawal Agreement, you can enter and exit Spain with a valid passport. You do not need any additional validity on the passport beyond the dates on which you are travelling.
Children travelling from Spain
Children (under 18 years old) resident in Spain, who travel out of Spain without a person who has parental responsibility, may need a certified authorisation by that person. This is required in addition to a valid travel document.
The regulation does not apply to foreign children resident in Spain who are subject to the law of their country of nationality, or to non-resident foreign children visiting Spain.
The Spanish immigration authorities are aware that there is no similar standard regulation in the UK, and therefore British consulates do not provide travel authorisation documents.
British children do not need written permission to travel unless they are subject to a court order which states that written permission is required from those holding parental responsibility. If the child is subject to such a court order, or to ensure that an unaccompanied child will be able to leave Spain without delay, you must obtain a certified authorisation from a public notary in Spain.
If you have parental responsibility for Spanish children in Spain, you can obtain a certified authorisation at a notary, national police station (in Spanish, or at the Guardia Civil (in Spanish).
Flight discounts for residents in Canary Islands, Balearic Islands, Ceuta and Melilla
Read the Spanish government's guidance on who is eligible to access discounts on flights (in Spanish), and on how this has changed for UK nationals since 1 January 2021.
Read our guidance on healthcare in Spain and make sure you are correctly registered for your circumstances.
If you are resident in Spain, you must not use your UK-issued EHIC or GHIC for healthcare in Spain, unless you are a student or a detached (posted) worker.
Travel insurance is also not intended to cover healthcare costs if you live overseas.

Do McCutchen, Murphy, or Other Possible Waiver Claims Make Sense for Cubs?
Evan AltmanAugust 21, 2018
We're now firmly entrenched in waiver season, which brings with it much of the same intrigue as the non-waiver deadline with a little more cloak-and-dagger feel. It's not uncommon at all for teams to put players, even big-timers they really have no intention of trading, on revocable waivers. May as well keep all options open, right.
Because of all the rules surrounding waiver trades, it's uncommon to see a really big deal go down in August. There are, however, some smaller moves that might involve players of some significance who are either aging and/or at the end of their respective deals. If said player's team can save some money while flipping him to a contender for a lottery ticket or two, it makes sense to try.
Before we get into some thoughts on possibilities for the Cubs, let's run through a quick refresher on how these waiver trades work.
A team can place any major leaguer on waivers, which last 47 hours. If the player goes unclaimed, the team can then trade him anywhere. The exception to this would be players with no-trade clauses or who have earned their 10-5 rights (10 years in league, 5 with current team) and can veto trades.
Waiver priority starts with the teams in the player's current league, then goes by record at the time of the claim. So the Cubs have the lowest priority in the NL and would have lowest overall priority to claim an AL player.
If a player is claimed, his team has three options: Work out a trade with the claiming team, revoke the waiver, or just let the player walk. We saw the latter in play when the Padres allowed Jordan Lyles and Tyson Ross to join the Brewers and Cardinals, respectively, with zero recompense.
In the event of a claim, the teams have 48.5 hours to negotiate a trade. The player's current team may only negotiate with the claiming team during that time.
If a team pulls a player back from waivers and later puts him back on for a second time, those waivers become irrevocable. That isn't very common because it greatly reduces the team's leverage, which is why you may see a team put in a waiver claim on a player they have no intention of trading for just to try to block other teams from claiming him.
There are more nuances to it, of course, but that should be enough to put you on par with my own rudimentary knowledge of the situation. Now that we've established that, let's discuss what this means for the Cubs and how they might take advantage of it.
As you may recall, there was some talk around the non-waiver deadline in the Cubs' interest in a veteran bat and clubhouse presence. Names mentioned at the time were Chicago native and current Blue Jay Curtis Granderson and longtime Oriole Adam Jones, both of whom have cleared waivers at this point. Jones has been vocal in his desire to remain in Baltimore and has 10-5 rights, which he reportedly already used to veto a trade to Philly.
Granderson presents an intriguing option for several reasons, not the least of which is that he's only owed about $1 million for the remainder of the season. He's limited defensively at this point, but he's still got pop in that bat, which is something the Cubs could really use down the stretch. His .187 ISO and .425 slugging are both solid, plus he can still work an at-bat.
That said, ol' Grandy doesn't feel like someone the Cubs would see fit to add prior to roster expansion in September. There's really no room for him at the corners at this point and he'd be such a short-term add that there's not sufficient reason to offer up much in a trade. Swinging a deal for a 25-man type would have to involve someone who could give the Cubs more run.
Which brings us to former MVP and longtime division rival Andrew McCutchen, who was reportedly placed on waivers Monday. The Giants are going nowhere fast and McCutchen will be a free agent after this season. While they could simply hold onto him and give him a qualifying offer at the end of the year, the risk of him accepting the roughly $18 million salary might not be worth the risk.
He's owed about $3.4 million in raw salary for the remainder of the season, but his incredibly team-friendly deal means that he only has about $2 million in AAV. And that includes a $1 million buyout for next season, so we're talking about a pretty minimal commitment.
But like Granderson, Cutch has fallen off defensively and is now exclusively a corner outfielder. In fact, he has played strictly right field for the Giants this season and is ranked 10th among qualified right fielders in both UZR (-2.2) and UZR/150 (-3.1). He doesn't have nearly the pop you'd like to see from a corner outfielder, but he can still take a walk and isn't nearly as susceptible to platoon splits as Ian Happ or Albert Almora Jr.
Not that McCutchen should or would take over in center, but the Cubs could slide Jason Heyward over to accommodate the former Pirate. This move would make a lot of sense if the Cubs are truly worried about Addison Russell's finger and his subsequent struggles at the plate. If Javy Baez moves to short for a couple weeks, Ben Zobrist sees a lot more time at second and frees up time at both corner outfield spots.
There was quite a bit of discourse Monday night in the wake of news that Daniel Murphy had been claimed by a mystery team that was not the Yankees. That report came via Joel Sherman of the New York Post and gave rise to rampant speculation fueled largely by a "sourced" rumor from a protected Twitter account with a few hundred followers. And while we've seen enough to know that breaking news can come from anywhere, no reputable parties have confirmed anything more as of post time.
Murphy is far from the only player Washington placed on waivers, as Jorge Castillo of the Washington Post tweeted, but he's certainly the biggest lightning rod of the group and would present some PR issues for the Cubs.
Here's at least a partial list of the players the Nationals placed on revocable waivers, per source: Murphy, Harper, Adams, Reynolds, Wieters, and Gonzalez. At least Murphy, Harper, and Adams were claimed.
— Jorge Castillo (@jorgecastillo) August 21, 2018
My own experience discussing the Murphy matter on Twitter was frustrating to say the least, but suffice to say not everyone believes fans should care about a player's personal beliefs when it comes to how he impacts their favorite team. Listen, I totally understand that some people are much more able to divorce the real world from sports — though such matters often involve the kind of hypocrisy and subjectivity we'll not explore here and now — as they use sports as an escape.
At the same time, many more are unable and unwilling to take leave of their personal beliefs or better judgement for the sake of their sports team. So when Murphy said of homosexuality that he "disagree[s] with the lifestyle, 100 percent," that is naturally going to be a problem for a lot of people. He went on to further explain his stance at the time, but the agree/disagree part is at the crux of the issue.
When you're talking about a team that plays its games in a very LGBTQ+ friendly neighborhood and that boasts the first openly gay owner of a professional sports franchise, you can maybe see how this is about more than just what happens on the field. Then again, the Cubs have previously allowed performance to override certain, er, personality conflicts.
So is his play enough for them to justify such a move, given the potential for backlash? Murphy missed over two months at the beginning of the season recovering from knee surgery and struggled in his first month back. Through July 14 (96 PA), he was slashing .244/.302/.326 with a 69 wRC+ and a .277 wOBA. None of that is good.
In 111 plate appearances since, however, Murphy is hitting .340/.369/.528 with a 137 wRC+ and .379 wOBA. He's a lefty batter who can play first and second base and who crushes right-handed pitching, nice traits if Russell is indeed dinged up. And if the Cubs believe Murphy can even play a little third base over the remainder of Kris Bryant's absence, that's another mark in his favor.
He's still owed about $3 million in AAV, though, and the Cubs don't have much wiggle room under the cap at this point. Given everything involved, both in terms of optics and personnel, they'd have to be convinced that his production down the stretch would be enough to markedly improve their offense.
And there are other options out there as well, some of which we saw in the tweet above. But don't get your hopes up for Bryce Harper because that's not happening. What about Josh Donaldson? It seems unlikely that he'd make it around to the Cubs, but you know how everyone loves to talk about former prospects that got away. And hey, he's played shortstop at Wrigley before.
In the end, I'm skeptical of any biggish deals involving the Cubs, at least not for the next several days. There are just so many moving parts this time of year and you're still dealing with roster crunches. A DL stint can alleviate some of that for the time being, but a little flurry closer to September might make more sense.
We have a comments section below for a reason and, even though I've been warned many times not to read it, I do enjoy the (usually) civil dialogue therein. To that end, I'd like to close by inviting thoughts on the topics above as they involve both team needs and potential personal conflicts.

St. Andrew's falls to nationally ranked Boys' Latin
By Wells Dusenbury
Sun Sentinel |
St. Andrew's boys lacrosse coach Tony Seaman discusses the team's 11-7 loss to Maryland powerhouse Boys' Latin.
BOCA RATON — A three-goal outburst in less than two minutes sank St. Andrew's upset bid of nationally ranked Boys' Latin on Tuesday night.
With the Scots trailing the Maryland powerhouse just 6-4 entering the fourth quarter, the Lakers reeled off three straight goals in 1:52 and held off St. Andrew's from there, winning 11-7.
"A couple pipes, a couple of better shots," said St. Andrew's coach Tony Seaman. "Their goalie played really well in the fourth quarter. We played well, but they're very good and we expected that."
Boys Latin, ranked seventh in the nation by Nike/US Lacrosse, improved to 2-0 following Saturday's 14-9 win over Oxbridge Academy. Boys' Latin senior attackman Luke Shilling, who will play at John Hopkins next year and is one of 13 Laker Division 1 commits, led the team with four goals on the night.
St. Andrew's midfielder Mark Heatzig scored four goals as well in defeat.

Meeting for the 14th time in the past 17 years, St. Andrew's (11-2) and Boys' Latin (2-0) battled early on, with the Lakers holding a 3-2 advantage after the first quarter. Boys Latin took a 5-2 lead midway through the second, but Heatzig fired in his third goal of the half to cut the lead two at the break.
The teams exchanged goals in the third quarter, setting up Lakers' fourth quarter scoring frenzy.
After winning the opening faceoff of the fourth quarter, Boys Latin' midfielder Jake Glatz scored eight seconds later in transition to push the lead to 7-4. After two more Glatz faceoff wins, Schilling and Matt Brandau tallied goals in the ensuing two minutes to give the Lakers a 9-4 advantage.
St. Andrew's would cut the lead back to three following a pair of goals from Tito Thompson and Matt Adams, but Boys' Latin quickly responded with two more goals to seal the victory.
Heatzig, who will play at MIT next year, closed out the scoring with :22 left as he fired in his fourth goal of the contest. After the game, Seaman praised his senior midfielder's efforts.

"I thought [Heatzig] was tremendous," said Seaman. "He was as good as anyone on the field tonight. He's played that way all year, but he was terrific. He shot the ball so well."
Thompson, Adams and freshman midfielder Michael Lizzio each had one goal for the Scots.
St. Andrew's will have to wait at least another year before going for its second-ever victory over the Lakers. The Scots' lone win came in 2008 when they knocked off Boys Latin 7-6.
The upcoming schedule doesn't get much easier for St. Andrew's as it travels to face a strong Jupiter team on Thursday. The Warriors (10-2) topped last year's state runner-up Ponte Vedra 15-9 on Friday night.
"I like where we are and how we're playing," said Seaman. "I like this team because they play so hard from the opening whistle to the end, no matter what the score says. They play hard and hang in there."

Hu, J, Wang, Z, Gao, H and Stergioulas, LK (2012) Extended Kalman filtering with stochastic nonlinearities and multiple missing measurements Automatica, 48 (9). pp. 2007-2015.
In this paper, the extended Kalman filtering problem is investigated for a class of nonlinear systems with multiple missing measurements over a finite horizon. Both deterministic and stochastic nonlinearities are included in the system model, where the stochastic nonlinearities are described by statistical means that could reflect the multiplicative stochastic disturbances. The phenomenon of measurement missing occurs in a random way and the missing probability for each sensor is governed by an individual random variable satisfying a certain probability distribution over the interval [0,1]. Such a probability distribution is allowed to be any commonly used distribution over the interval [0,1] with known conditional probability. The aim of the addressed filtering problem is to design a filter such that, in the presence of both the stochastic nonlinearities and multiple missing measurements, there exists an upper bound for the filtering error covariance. Subsequently, such an upper bound is minimized by properly designing the filter gain at each sampling instant. It is shown that the desired filter can be obtained in terms of the solutions to two Riccati-like difference equations that are of a form suitable for recursive computation in online applications. An illustrative example is given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed filter design scheme. © 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Action by Dottie R. Boling against the New Amsterdam Casualty Company. Judgment for defendant, and plaintiff appeals. Reversed and remanded.
Searcy & Underwood and William Neff, for plaintiff in error.
James C. Cheek, for defendant in error.
RILEY, J.
¶1 Appellant, against whom a judgment for $20,000 was obtained by Julia E. Ashbridge for the wrongful death of her husband, resulting from the negligent operation of appellant's automobile (Boling v. Ashbridge, 84 Okla. 280, 203 P. 894), satisfied the judgment, with interest from December 3, 1920, after $5,000 of the amount thereof, the limit of the liability under a policy of automobile liability insurance which had been issued to appellant and which was in force at the time of the wrongful death of Mr. Ashbridge, had been realized in a garnishment proceeding instituted by Mrs. Ashbridge from the New Amsterdam Casualty Company (Boling v. Ashbridge et al., 111 Okla. 66, 238 P. 421). The appellant also, according to the allegations of the present petition, expended the sum of $2,000 in prosecution of the appeal in the cause first above mentioned. Appellant commenced this action for recovery from the insurance company of her detriment occasioned by the conduct of appellee.
¶2 The ground for recovery in the instant suit is appellant's bad faith in its failure and refusal to avail itself of the opportunity it had on December 14, 1920, to settle the judgment rendered December 3, 1920, within the $5,000 limit named in the policy of insurance.
¶3 It is alleged that after the rendition of the judgment of December 3, 1920, Julia E. Ashbridge offered to accept the sum of $6,000 in complete satisfaction of the $20,000 judgment, provided the same should be paid before the time limited for an appeal expired; that said offer was communicated to defendant, and plaintiff at the time offered to pay the $1,000 in excess of the $5,000 liability of the defendant under its policy. That by the terms of the policy defendant was entitled to have complete charge of the defense to any suit covered by the policy and had the absolute right to determine whether a settlement should be made; that defendant arbitrarily wrongfully, and oppressively, in disregard of its obligation to plaintiff, refused to allow the settlement to be made unless Plaintiff would pay $4,500 of said $6,000, thus to release defendant from $3,500 of its liability under said policy. That defendant at the time knew there was no reasonable prospect of reversing the Judgment by an appeal, and in fact did not appeal therefrom. That plaintiff, in order to protect her rights, appealed said cause, with the result stated. That defendant thereby became liable to plaintiff in the sum of $17,000, with interest.
¶4 The appellee, by the terms of its policy of insurance, agreed to indemnify the assured from any liability for damages on account of bodily injuries, including death, accidentally suffered-by person or persons by reason of the use of assured's automobile. In the event of legal proceedings to enforce any claim for damages arising from any accident covered by the policy, the appellee agreed to "defend such suit whether groundless or not in the name and on behalf of the assured. The expenses incurred by the company in defending such suit, including costs, if any, taxed against the assured will be borne by the company Whether the verdict is for or against the assured irrespective of the limit of liability expressed in the policy."
¶5 The appellee, as insurer, reserved the right to settle within the limits of the policy. Condition "D" of the policy provided:
"The assured shall not voluntarily assume any liability, nor shall the assured, without the written consent of the company previously given, incur any expense or settle any claims, except at its own cost, nor interfere in any negotiations for settlement or in any legal proceedings conducted by the company, on account of any claim," etc.
¶6 Condition "E" provides:
"No action shall lie against the company to recover any loss under or by reason of this policy unless it shall be brought in the name of the assured for loss actually sustained and paid in money, by the assured in satisfaction of a judgment after actual trial of the issue, nor unless such action is brought within two years after such judgment against the assured has been so paid and satisfied."
¶7 A demurrer to plaintiff's amended petition was sustained, and the cause of action was dismissed. This action of the court constituted error.
¶8 Appellee contends that whether this is a suit on a written contract or an action in tort, the statute of limitations has run (section 101, par. 1, O. S. 1931, and section 101, par. 3, O. S. 1931), inasmuch, as the present action was first commenced May 27, 1926, and the act complained of is the failure of the casualty company to settle the judgment on December 14, 1920.
¶9 No authorities are cited to support the defense of a bar by the statutes of limitation, nor was this defense pleaded below.
¶10 The bar of the statute does not appear upon the face of the petition, notwithstanding the allegations of the petition as to time of payment by appellant was subject to being made more definite and certain as to time of payment. Reverting to condition "e" of the contract of insurance, it is the contractual agreement that "no action shall lie against the company to recover any loss under or by reason of this policy unless it shall be brought in the name of the assured for loss actually sustained and paid in money by the assured in satisfaction of a judgment after actual trial of the issues, nor unless such action is brought within two years after such judgment against the assured has been so paid and satisfied." This court cannot say that the instant action was not brought within two years after satisfaction of the judgment in the original suit.
¶11 It is well settled in cases of limited liability insurance that the insurer may so conduct itself as to be liable for the entire judgment recovered against the insured, although the judgment exceeds the amount of liability named in the policy. Some of the cases permit recovery upon proof that insurer in refusing to settle a claim for damages covered by the policy was negligent. Douglas v. U.S. F. & G. Co., 81 N.H. 371, 37 A. L. R. 1477; Cavannugh Bros. v. General Accident, Fire & Life Assur. Corp., 79 N.H. 180, 106 A. 604; Attleboro Mfg. Co. v. Frankfort, Marine, etc., Ins. Co. (C. C. A.) 240 Fed. 573. Other decisions require proof that insurer acted in bad faith. New Orleans, etc., R. Co. v. Md. Cas. Co., 114 La. 154, 38 So. 89, 6 L. R. A. (N. S.) 562; Wisconsin Zinc Co. v. Fidelity. etc., Co., 162 Wis. 39, 155 N.W. 1081, Ann. Cas. 1918C, 399; Auerbach v. Maryland Cas. Co., 236 N.Y. 247, 140 N.E. 577, 28 A. L. R. 1294. The prevailing rule requires good faith on the part of insurer toward insured. Brassil v. Maryland Cas. Co., 210 N.Y. 235, 104 N.E. 622, L. R. A. 1915 A. 629.
¶12 The action at bar is predicated on bad faith, which is a thing apart from self-interest and renders unnecessary consideration of the cases based on negligence. Insurer's rejection of the offer to settle because insured would not assume a part of its contractual liability would support a conclusion of bad faith. American Mut. Liability Ins. Co. of Boston, Mass., v. Cooper (C. C. A.) 61 Fed. (2d) 446. Especially when coupled with failure of insurer to either defend the original suit on appeal or settle to the extent of its then liability. The appellant had a cause of action, but it did not accrue until loss had been actually sustained by the payment of the money required by the judgment.
¶13 This was a policy of insurance to indemnify against loss as distinguished from a policy to indemnify against liability. As applied to this character of insurance, no action can be brought and a recovery had until the liability is discharged, while upon the other class the cause of action is complete when the liability attaches. Maryland Cas. Co. v. Peppard et al., 53 Okla. 515, 157 P. 106; Curtis & Gartside Co. v. Aetna Life Ins. Co., 58 Okla. 470, 160 P. 465.
"Payment of the judgment was a condition precedent to plaintiff's cause of action, and until that was done it was not damnified within the meaning of the policy; hence was not entitled to be indemnified." Boling v. Ashbridge et al., supra.
¶14 The decision ill Boling v. Ashbridge, 111 Okla. 66, 238 P. 421, is not decisive of the present controversy.
"The true test therefore, to determine when the cause of action accrues is to ascertain the time when the plaintiff could first maintain his action to a successful result." Broadwell v. Board Co. Com'rs, Bryan Co., 88 Okla. 147, 211 P. 1040; Cornelius et al. v. Standard Royalties Co., 131 Okla. 112, 267 P. 838; Jeffers & Hackett v. Johnson, 21 N.J. Law, 73.
¶15 Appellee insists now and insisted in prior litigation that insured "had it within her power to satisfy the judgment" before it became final on appeal. That had she satisfied the judgment by compromise or otherwise, by payment of money, the insurance company would have then been obligated to reimburse her up to the amount of $5,000 but the failure to create a legal liability against the insurance company then does not entitle appellant to additional damages now.
¶16 This reasoning is at least doubtful.
¶17 The policy provided:
"Nor shall assured without the written consent of the company * * * settle any claim, except at his own cost."
"The assured shall not voluntarily assume tiny liability."
¶18 It has been held that "the voluntary payment by assured of a judgment recovered against him, before the time for appealing has expired, * * * was a 'settlement' of the claim upon which the judgment was based within the meaning and effect of a condition in the policy and * * * released the casualty company?." Note 71 A. L. R. 1472 Kennelly v. London Guaranty Co., 184 App. Div. 1, 171 N.Y.S. 423. The decision to the contrary cited by appellee, Carthage Stone Co. v. Travelers Ins. Co., 186 Mo. App. 318, 172 S.W. 458 was reversed on appeal (274 Mo. 537, 203 S.W. 822). See, also, Tiger River Pine Co. v. Maryland Cas. Co., 163 S.C. 229; 161 S.E. 491; Boling v. Ashbridge, 111 Okla. 66, 238 P. 421; Brown & McCabe Stevedores, Inc., v. London Guarantee & Acc. Co., 232 Fed. 298; Attleboro Mfg. Co. v. Frankfort Marine, etc., Ins. Co., 240 Fed. 573; Stovers Furn. Co. v. Am. Ind. Co. (Tex. Com. App.) 15 S.W.2d 544.
¶19 It seems reasonable, in view of the contractual right reserved to appellee to conduct the litigation in defense of liability and to make settlement, that at the time the judgment for $20,000 was rendered in the trial court the burden was upon it to appeal from the judgment in the event it found probable grounds for reversal or to evidence its intention to pay to the extent of its liability. The appellant was fraught with much difficulty. If she voluntarily satisfied the judgment, there was danger of being impaled upon the provision of the policy which relieved the assured of liability in such event. If she did nothing, the judgment became final in full measure.
¶20 The appellee then sought to coerce the appellant to assume a major portion of its liability, and this has been held to constitute bad faith. It is so irrespective of whether the character of the policy of insurance is indemnity or liability. It may be stated as a rule of law that where an insurance company agrees to indemnify against loss from personal injury claims, conditioned upon insured's surrendering to the insurance company control of investigations, adjustments of claims, and defenses of lawsuits, and where the insurance company does, pursuant to such contract, take control of such matters, a relationship arises between insured and insurer which imposes on the insurer the duty owing to the insured to exercise skill, care, and good faith to the end of saving the insured harmless as contemplated by the contract to indemnify. The insurer must act honestly to effectually indemnify and save the insured harmless as it has contracted to do - to the extent, if necessary, that it must make whatever payment and settlement an honest judgment and discretion dictate, within the limits of the policy, and an abandonment of this duty to act subsequent to its assumption in part constituted bad faith. Maryland Cas. Co. v. Cook-O'Brien Const. Co., 69 Fed. (2d) 462; Am. Mut. Liability Co. v. Cooper, 61 Fed. (2d) 446; Maryland Cas. Co. v. Elmira Coal Co., 69 Fed. (2d) 616; Bartlett v. Travelers Ins. Co. (Conn.) 167 A. 180. Contra: Rumford Falls Paper Co. v. Fid. & Cas. Co., 92 Me. 574, 43 A. 503.
¶21 Judgment reversed and cause remanded, with directions to overrule the demurrer and proceed in conformity with the views herein expressed.

Q: Is there a way to import later in golang? I'm writing a small go program. I expect it to be run on different OSes, so I was hoping to use go run rather than including the compiled file. The problem is it uses a package from outside the standard library. I don't want to rely on people having the package. I can get the package using
package main

import "os/exec"

func main() {
    _ := exec.Command("go", "get","github.com/user/library").Run()
}

But by then it's too late to import it. I can see three solutions.

*

*Make a wrapper script.

*Cross-compile

*Get the user to do it
But I'd really like to install it and then import, is there any way to do so?

A: Just host your code on github or somewhere else. Then the people who want to run the program can use go install "example.com" to get a binary.
If you dont want to host your code, you can instruct them to put it in their GOPATH/src/ and use go install yourprojectsname.
