Eleven women have been chosen as contestants. Alliances will be formed; rivalries will develop; and the cast will have to question who they can trust. Intrigue, kidnapping, foul play – local police investigate. Girls have to act quickly.
Jaclyn isn't like the rest of her cast mates on this year's season of Local Ambition. While everyone else has aspirations of winning this season – Jaclyn's strategy is what sets her apart from the competition.
Jaclyn is the perfect combination of beauty and brains. This spells trouble for her competition. And something more…. RUNWAY MAGAZINE girl – Jaclyn is becoming new URBAN LEGEND, as she has special RUNWAY POWERS. This is how Jaclyn stays a step ahead of the competition.
Local Ambition photographer, Brad Prime, is getting ready for an important photo shoot with cast members, Jamileigh, Mila, and Pamela. While these three are getting ready, their cast mates are in the midst of their own drama.
Ashley and Kacy have quickly become best friends on the show having only just met earlier this season. The two share a close bond that is a stark contrast to the relationship that Jaclyn has with her "friend". While the crew is filming this photo shoot, Jaclyn has a plan to get back at Jamileigh, Pamela, and Mila for not believing in her special RUNWAY POWERS.
The photo shoot was finished and everything seemed to go well – for now.
Tune in September 17 at www.alwayslatetv.com to find out! Local Ambition will also be available on television. Contact your local cable company and tell them you want Local Ambition!
Jaclyn wears RUNWAY HOODIE- that's where her special RUNWAY POWERS are coming from.
Don't believe it? try it yourself !


A quick post on photography and it's relation to architecture. Sometimes it can be difficult to find the right images for your renders and presentation. As you already know, crisp, clean photos always look better on the wall, opposed to a pixelated mess. I've compiled a couple of useful links where you can get good quality images without any copyright restrictions.

The First President of the United States?
Samuel Huntington (July 16, 1731 – January 5, 1796)
Who was the man that some consider to be the first president of the United States?
Samuel Huntington was born into a family of ten children. Three of his brothers were sent to study theology at Yale, but Samuel's parents decided that his education would be of a different kind. They apprenticed Samuel to become a cooper and enlisted his help in running the family farm. However, a farmer was not what Samuel wanted to be. At age twenty-two, he left the family farm in pursuit of bigger dreams.
Intent on becoming a lawyer, Samuel decided to teach himself all that he would need to know. Samuel read the books contained in the personal library of Scotland's local minister, Ebenezer Devotion. After studying law books from the collections of other friends in Windham, Samuel passed the bar. He was admitted to practice in March of 1754.
By 1761 Samuel had fallen in love and married Martha Devotion, daughter of Ebenezer Devotion. Then, in 1765 Samuel made a great leap in his legal career. He was appointed to the position of King's attorney for the colony of Connecticut. Nine years later, Samuel's conscience made him resign from this post and turn his back on what might have been a bright and comfortable future in the employment of the King.
Instead, Samuel Huntington became a patriot and dedicated the rest of his life to serving the public. In 1775 he was chosen to serve as a delegate to the Continental Congress where he represented Connecticut when Congress convened in January of 1776. On July 4, 1776, Samuel Huntington signed the Declaration of Independence casting his lot with the other fifty-five signers.
On September 28, 1779, Samuel Huntington was elected 6th president of Congress and began serving his term. During that term, on March 1, 1781, the Articles of Confederation became operative as the first Constitution of the United States. The first section of the Articles of Confederation designates our nation as the United States for the first time. Some argue that this makes Samuel Huntington the first president of the United States.
Samuel Huntington continued his public service by becoming chief justice of the Supreme Court in 1784. In 1786 he became the 18th governor of Connecticut and would hold that office until his death almost ten years later. Samuel Huntington died in his 64th year and was laid to rest in Norwichtown. The man who started life as a farm boy kept some traits throughout his life that served him well; he was reputed to be a practical man of few words who wrote in a simple style. His quiet leadership and full commitment to the American Revolution won him the respect of all.

Viscosity Version 1.6.6 introduces a new feature which allows you to share scripts and login credentials with a folder of connections. For more information on scripting in Viscosity, please check out our guides for Mac and Windows, both guides also contain some example scripts to get you started. Like scripting per connection, Mac supports AppleScript scripts, and Windows supports Visual Basic Scripts (*.vbs) and Batch Scripts (*.bat).
The first time you save a Username and Password login for a connection in a folder with shared credentials enabled, the credentials are instead saved for the folder. Any other connections which connect after this will use those credentials if they are in the same folder.
If you have a connection which already has its own saved credentials and place it in a folder with this feature enabled, they will continue to use their own credentials and they will not be shared with other connections. If you wish to utilise this feature, we highly recommend you clear any saved credentials you already have in Preferences -> Advanced (Windows) or your Keychain (Mac).
If you have a connection which already has it's own scripts, these scripts will continue to be run as well if the connection is in a folder which has shared scripts.
If a server rejects your saved credentials for a folder, you will be presented with the option to retry using the existing credentials or change them. If you change the credentials here they will be updated for the folder and other connections will use the new credentials from there on.
To get started, first you will need a Folder. You can reuse an existing folder, or create a new one by going to + -> New Folder.
You will then see the new folder in your connection list. To set it up, Edit the folder by double clicking its name, or selecting it and clicking Edit in the bottom right corner of the Preferences screen.
In the Edit Folder window, you will have two tabs. The first tab allows you to set the name and to enable shared credentials. To share credentials, tick the checkbox Share saved credentials for connection in this folder. We also recommend you name the folder something meaningful to you.
Next click the Advanced tab. Here you will be able to set shared scripts. To set a script, click Select... then browse to the script you wish to use.
Note: Scripts are imported by Viscosity. If you make any changes to the original script, you will need to go back to Edit Folder -> Advanced, clear the old script and browse to the edited script once again.
Once you have setup your folder, click Save. Next, drag the connections you wish to share credentials and scripts together into this folder.
That's it! The first time you save your username and password for a connection in this folder, those credentials will be reused by any other connection in that folder. And any scripts you have set will be run for every connection you place in the folder.


What marijuana/cannabis businesses can you start in Arizona?
The Arizona Department of Health Services has recently awarded 31 new medical cannabis licenses.The new 31 dispensaries were selected from a pool of 750 applicants, all of which submitted bids for licenses between July 18-29. There are already 94 operating dispensaries in Arizona, along with another five that have received licenses but are not yet up and running. That brings the total of licensed MMJ dispensaries to 130.
The state's initiative to legalize recreational marijuana was not approved in the ballot last November 8. So every business will be solely on the medical side, requiring patients to be recommended by a physician for medical marijuana consumption.
Currently, you cannot apply for any marijuana business licenses.
Grab our starter package to give you a detailed rundown of everything you need to know and do right now to get a jumpstart (hint: there's a lot to do).
Read through the regulations and determine what business type you'd like to have.
If you'll be seeking financing and investors or partners, you'll need a business plan to present to them. See our Medical Marijuana Business Plans for Arizona page for details and get a business plan to fit your needs.
The state will allow potential business owners to open a medical marijuana dispensary in Arizona. Whether this is possible or not will hinge entirely on the city and/or county of choice, as the state allows the local municipalities to ban or place moratoriums on whether to license dispensaries for operation or not.
Application fee for a dispensary is $5000. But the state also requires proof that the entity or a principal officer of the entity has $150,000 (one hundred fifty thousand dollars) in an in-state or out-of-state financial institution. The documentation must be dated within 30 days before the application and show that the entity or principal officer had control of the monies for at least 30 days before the application was submitted.
Setup your Marijuana Business Corporate Structure.
Create your Marijuana Retail Business Plan.
Determine your potential location(s) and investigate whether licensing is possible in the prospective cities or counties.
Acquire the necessary licenses to operate your retail store and be completely legal and compliant.
Install the operational infrastructure to be in accordance with all regulations and then open your doors for business.
Contract with cultivators and/or edible/extraction/infused products manufacturers to grow and produce marijuana products for you, if you don't want to do it yourself.
The situation is nearly identical to that of dispensaries. The city and county would need to allow you to be licensed before you can be allowed to cultivate for medical purposes. However, you would be required to own/operate a dispensary in order to cultivate medical cannabis but the steps will be similar.
These types of business are allowed but just like cultivation you will be required to own/operate a dispensary in order to sell marijuna extracts/concentrates, marijuana edibles and infused products. The steps are similar to all the other businesses.

Home Industry News Roofer Fails in Attempted Murder Conviction Appeal
Roofer Fails in Attempted Murder Conviction Appeal
A roofer found guilty of attempting to kill a colleague following a drinking session just days after they first met at work, has had an appeal against his conviction rejected, despite claiming he was acting in self-defence.
Thomas Telford, who was sentenced to nine-and-a-half years' in prison after being convicted of the attempted murder of Callum Thomas, argued that the trial judge was wrong to rule that his claim of self-defence could not apply to the case.
Telford was found guilty in November 2017 following a trial at Livingston Crown Court. Charges against included, attempted murder, assault of a neighbour and disposal of a weapon.
The trial heard evidence that Telford and the complainer Thomas, who were both roofers, had first met in August 2016, when working on a site in Edinburgh city centre.
After finishing work on 12 August they went drinking, before going back to Thomas' house. Thomas told the court that he had gone for a shower and that when he returned Telford was stabbing the wall with a kitchen knife. Thomas punched Telford, and Telford retaliated by stabbing him twice.
A neighbour, who heard the commotion, ran into the flat and tried to intervene, only to be pinned against a wall by Telford. Thomas reportedly tried to dive over a couch to escape to the kitchen area, but as he did so he was stabbed a further four times in the back.
Telford lodged a special defence of self-defence in respect of his attempted murder charge, but he did not give evidence.
The trial judge concluded that the claim of self-defence failed as a matter of law, as there was no imminent danger to Telford and he had a means of escape when he had used the knife.
Refusing the appeal, the appeal judges said they were "unable to fault" the trial judge's decision.

High Tide Announces the Opening of the 14th and 15th Canna Cabana Locations
Posted by Editorial Staff | May 9, 2019 | Markets | 0

("High Tide" or the "Company") (CSE:HITI) (OTCQB:HITIF) (FRA:2LY), an Alberta-based, retail-focused cannabis corporation enhanced by the manufacturing and wholesale distribution of smoking accessories and cannabis lifestyle products, today announced that it has been licensed to open its next two Canna Cabana retail stores, which are located at Unit A, 10310 100 Avenue in Fort Saskatchewan, Alberta (the "Fort Saskatchewan Store") and at 5022 50 Street in Lacombe, Alberta (the "Lacombe Store") (collectively, the "New Stores"). Having met all municipal business requirements, the New Stores are approved to sell smoking accessories and cannabis lifestyle products while the temporary suspension of incremental cannabis retail licensing (the "Moratorium") by Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis (the "AGLC") remains in effect.
The City of Fort Saskatchewan, which is located approximately 25 kilometres northeast of Edmonton, Alberta, has a growing population currently in excess of 25,000 people with an economy rooted in the dynamic petrochemical sector. "The Fort Saskatchewan Store will provide this neighbouring community of Edmonton with an exciting location to interact with Canna Cabana staff, learn about cannabis and otherwise meet their retail needs," said Raj Grover, President and Chief Executive Officer of High Tide. Located approximately 25 kilometres north of Red Deer, Alberta, the City of Lacombe is a growing community of about 13,000 people that is known for its downtown core featuring 40 murals that depict its rich history. "The Lacombe Store strengthens Canna Cabana's position in central Alberta and is a strong fit with the forward-thinking agricultural community," added Mr. Grover. The New Stores continue to demonstrate High Tide's ability to execute in the rapidly growing cannabis industry.
The Company currently has 36 of the 37 effective maximum number of development permits established by the AGLC for retail cannabis stores across Alberta and expects to receive the one remaining development permit in the near future. High Tide continues to advance its next 23 Alberta locations that are under various stages of development and construction. In Ontario, two Canna Cabana-branded retail cannabis locations in Hamilton and Sudbury were opened on April 20th and both are performing strongly in each market, with the next branded location in downtown Toronto expected to open on or before June 1, 2019. In Saskatchewan, the Company is progressing through the last steps to complete two pending retail cannabis acquisitions. Lastly, across Alberta, British Columbia and Nova Scotia the Company has 13 Smoker's Corner accessories shops, of which five are corporately owned and eight are franchises.

#Men'sFirstTeam #Interview #BenDavies #CristianRomero
Davies impressed with Romero's first campaign
Wed 22 June 2022, 13:23| Tottenham Hotspur
Ben Davies has praised Cristian Romero for his contributions to the team during a highly impressive debut season in our colours.
Signed last summer from Atalanta, 'Cuti' produced some solid displays in the heart of our defence during 2021/22, linking up with Ben and Eric Dier in a back three for much of the second half of the campaign.
Having himself put in some excellent defensive shifts during that time to aid our return to the Champions League fray – and since carried on his good form to help Wales qualify for their first World Cup since 1958 – Ben spoke highly of the Argentina international's endeavours with us so far.
"He's been very good – I remember the first game I played with him was in a back three at Pacos de Ferreira away, it wasn't a great game for the team to be honest, but I think he's been very good for us since he arrived," said Ben, who has now completed eight seasons with us and is up to 270 appearances in a Lilywhite shirt.
I think as a unit with all of our defenders, we've been good and we really clicked going into the final parts of the season.
"He's good on the ball, strong at tackling and I think as a unit with all of our defenders, we've been good and we really clicked going into the final parts of the season.
"I include everyone in that – Davinson Sanchez and Joe Rodon are great professionals, they work hard every single day and they came in and played some minutes too, as well as the likes of Cristian and Eric Dier. Japhet Tanganga also played his part before his injury.
"In the last couple of months we went on a good run and didn't concede too many goals. I think we had a couple of late goals that were very disappointing – Brighton, Leicester – and if not for them, our record might look even better. But I think we've all adapted throughout the season and done really well together."

The MODEL statement specifies the dependent-variable and independent covariates (regressors) for the regression model. If you specify no regressors, PROC COUNTREG fits a model that contains only an intercept. The dependent count variable should take on only nonnegative integer values in the input data set. PROC COUNTREG rounds any positive noninteger count values to the nearest integer. PROC COUNTREG ignores any observations that have a negative count.
Only one MODEL statement can be specified. You can specify following options in the MODEL statement after a slash (/).
specifies a Poisson regression model.
specifies a Conway-Maxwell-Poisson regression model.
specifies a negative binomial regression model with a linear variance function.
specifies a negative binomial regression model with a quadratic variance function.
specifies a zero-inflated Poisson regression. The ZEROMODEL statement must be specified when this model type is specified.
specifies a zero-inflated Conway-Maxwell-Poisson regression. The ZEROMODEL statement must be specified when this model type is specified.
specifies a zero-inflated negative binomial regression. The ZEROMODEL statement must be specified when this model type is specified.
specifies a fixed-effect error component regression model.
specifies a random-effect error component regression model.
specifies a variable in the input data set to be used as an offset variable. The offset variable appears as a covariate in the model with its parameter restricted to 1. The offset variable cannot be the response variable, the zero-inflation offset variable (if any), or one of the explanatory variables. The "Model Fit Summary" table gives the name of the data set variable used as the offset variable; it is labeled as "Offset."
reparameterizes as documented by Guikema and Coffelt (2008), where and the integral part of represents the mode, which can be considered a measure of central tendency (mean).
specifies the search algorithm to use in the variable selection method. By default, DIRECTION=FORWARD.
specifies the information criteria to use in the variable selection. By default, CRITER=SBC.
specifies the maximum number of steps to allow in the search algorithm. The default is infinite; that is, the algorithm does not stop until the stopping criterion is satisfied.
specifies the stopping criterion. The value represents the percentage of decrease or increase in the AIC or SBC that is required for the algorithm to proceed; it must be a positive number less than 1. By default, LSTOP=0.
specifies that the variables named within parentheses be retained during the variable selection process.
specifies the maximum number of iterations in the algorithm of local linear approximations. By default, LLASTEPS=5.
specifies the number of different values to use for the generalized cross validation (GCV) tuning parameter. The value corresponds to in the computations that are described in the section Variable Selection Using Penalized Likelihood. By default, GCVLENGTH=20.
specifies the generalized cross-validation (GCV) approach. For more information, see the section The GCV Approach.
specifies the GCV1 approach. For more information, see the section The GCV1 Approach.
When SELECT=PEN, GCV1 is the default.


Land cover and any change in coverage that has occurred over a six year period is summarized for the Grants Creek catchment using spatially continuous vector data representing the catchment during the spring of 2008 and 2014. This dataset was developed by the RVCA through heads-up digitization of 20cm DRAPE ortho-imagery at a 1:4000 scale and details the surrounding landscape using 10 land cover classes.
As shown in Table 8 and Figure 1, the dominant land cover type in 2014 is crop and pastureland.
From 2008 to 2014, there was an overall change of 38 hectares (from one land cover class to another). Most of the change in the Grants Creek catchment is a result of the conversion of crop and pastureland along with woodland to settlement (Figure 63).
Table 9 provides a detailed breakdown of all land cover change that has taken place in the Grants Creek catchment between 2008 and 2014.
As shown in Figure 64, 28 percent of the Grants Creek catchment contains 861 hectares of upland forest and six hectares of lowland forest (treed swamps) versus the 47 percent of woodland cover in the Tay River subwatershed. This is less than the 30 percent of forest cover that is identified as the minimum threshold required to sustain forest birds according to the Guideline and which may only support less than one half of potential species richness and marginally healthy aquatic systems. When forest cover drops below 30 percent, forest birds tend to disappear as breeders across the landscape.
In the Grants Creek catchment (in 2014), one hundred and one (64 percent) of the 159 woodland patches are very small, being less than one hectare in size. Another 48 (30 percent) of the woodland patches ranging from one to less than 20 hectares in size tend to be dominated by edge-tolerant bird species. The remaining ten (six percent of) woodland patches range between 30 and 192 hectares in size. Nine of these patches contain woodland between 20 and 100 hectares and may support a few area-sensitive species and some edge intolerant species, but will be dominated by edge tolerant species.
Conversely, one (one percent) of the 159 woodland patches in the drainage area exceed the 100 plus hectare size needed to support most forest dependent, area sensitive birds and are large enough to support approximately 60 percent of edge-intolerant species. No patch tops 200 hectares, which according to the Environment Canada Guideline will support 80 percent of edge-intolerant forest bird species (including most area sensitive species) that prefer interior forest habitat conditions.
Table 10 presents a comparison of woodland patch size in 2008 and 2014 along with any changes that have occurred over that time. A decrease (of 17 ha) has been observed in the overall woodland patch area between the two reporting periods with most change occurring in the 20 to 50 woodland patch size class range. Six new woodland patches have been created as a result of the forest loss/gain portrayed in Figure 64, some of which has resulted in an increase in forest fragmentation across the catchment.
In the Grants Creek catchment (in 2014), the 159 woodland patches contain 15 forest interior patches (Figure 64) that occupy two percent (56 ha.) of the catchment land area (which is less than the five percent of interior forest in the Tay River subwatershed). This is below the ten percent figure referred to in the Environment Canada Guideline that is considered to be the minimum threshold for supporting edge intolerant bird species and other forest dwelling species in the landscape.
Most patches (14) have less than 10 hectares of interior forest, nine of which have small areas of interior forest habitat less than one hectare in size. The remaining patch contains 30 hectares of interior forest. Between 2008 and 2014, there has been a small change in the number of woodland patches containing interior habitat with an overall loss of four hectares in the catchment (Table 11).
This decline in wetland cover is also evident in the Grants Creek catchment (as seen in Figure 65 and summarized in Table 12), where wetland was reported to cover 34 percent of the area prior to settlement, as compared to 16 percent in 2014. This represents a 54 percent loss of historic wetland cover. To maintain critical hydrological, ecological functions along with related recreational and economic benefits provided by these wetland habitats in the catchment, a "no net loss" of currently existing wetlands should be employed to ensure the continued provision of tangible benefits accruing from them to landowners and surrounding communities.
Figure 66 shows the extent of the 'Natural' vegetated riparian zone (predominantly wetland/woodland features) and 'Other' anthropogenic cover (crop/pastureland, roads/railways, settlements) along a 30-metre-wide area of land, both sides of the shoreline of Grants Creek and its tributaries in the Grants Creek catchment.
This analysis shows that the riparian zone in the Grants Creek catchment is composed of wetland (34 percent), crop and pastureland (32 percent), woodland (25 percent), settlement (five percent), roads (two percent) and meadow-thicket (one percent). Along the many watercourses (including headwater streams) flowing into Grants Creek, the riparian buffer is composed of crop and pastureland (40 percent), wetland (27 percent), woodland (26 percent), settlement areas (four percent), roads (two percent) and meadow-thicket (one percent). Along Grants Creek itself, the riparian zone is composed of wetland (56 percent), woodland (27 percent), crop and pastureland (eight percent), settlement (six percent), transportation (two percent) and meadow-thicket (one percent). Additional statistics for the Grants Creek catchment are presented in Tables 13, 14 and 15 and show that there has been very little to no change in shoreline cover from 2008 to 2014.

Cathedral Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul Tours
Set on the east corner of Logan Circle, this elegant 1864 Cathedral Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul is the largest Catholic Church in Pennsylvania and the largest brownstone structure in Philadelphia. Built at the height of anti-Catholic fervor in the city, the unusually high windows of this Roman-Corinthian church were designed to discourage stone-throwing and other acts of vandalism.
Prominent local architect Napoleon LeBrun designed the 2,000-seat basilica and its Palladian facade, and interior frescoes were painted by Constantino Brumidi, an artist famous for his work in the U.S. Capitol Building. The crypt beneath the main altar contains the remains of Philadelphia's bishops and archbishops, the first of whom died in 1810.

Anti aging stem cells information.
Please note. This article is about adult stem cells not embryonic cells.
These adult stem cells are used for body repairs and are found in various parts of the body, principally in the bone marrow, however also in blood, fat and adipose tissue.
These cells become activated when they receive information regarding injury or illness and their task is to carry out repairs to the affected area.
Many discoveries are now being made using these cells and we now know that as we get older the availability of these anti aging stem cells in our blood stream reduces leaving us less protected from various health difficulties.
Shortly after birth we have about 100 million stem cells available for maintaining our bodies anti aging stem cell health.
Up till about 25 years or age we are able to recover very rapidly from accidents or illnesses as we have adequate supplies of these adult stem cells in our blood stream to protect us.
This no doubt benefits the medical drugs companies and pharmacists as these people are now being kept busy trying to keep us fit, well and in good shape.
Medical drugs are often a great help and can alleviate some of our problems, however drugs do not cure.
We now have some interesting stem cells information which can help the body itself to improve its health and expand its life span.
Here is another page which provides more information which you may also find helpful.
You may also find this report about stem cells of interest.
Leave anti aging stem cells See Arguments against stem cell research.
I hope this information about anti aging stem cells has been of value to you as these adult stem cells are going to have a big impact on our future health care system and will reduce our need for medical drugs.
I am now 92 and doing well with virtually no medical drugs needed.
You too can benefit from this new era of medical knowledge and at little expense.

Fund Manager's View 18-Apr-2018
Long-term compounding
Value Research
Gautam Sinha Roy, Senior VP & Fund Manager, Motilal Oswal Mutual Fund says, valuation is an important reason to exit a stock
Managing one five-star rated equity fund can be a happenstance but managing two is definitely not a coincidence. It takes a lot of discipline to not get carried away by your own success and the vision of a hawk to stay ahead of the market. Meet Gautam Sinha Roy, the easy-to-talk-to fund manager of Motilal Oswal Long Term Equity Fund and Motilal Oswal Multicap 35 Fund. An alumnus of IIM Calcutta and an honours degree holder in chemical engineering, Sinha Roy discusses his portfolio construct with Kumar Shankar Roy. He also talks about value migration, taking cash calls, why tracing macros doesn't matter too much and the need to be realistic about tech disruptions affecting business models.
What is the basis of your portfolios?
The portfolio is constructed to deliver superior yet sustainable earnings growth. This growth has to come from quality companies and long-term compounding. We find select sectors of the economy to be in such a high growth mode. These include retail oriented private banks and private insurance companies. Both household borrowings and the flow of household savings into financial instruments are in a high growth mode. Similarly, select auto stocks that are benefiting from superior products at the right price, which is helping them grow faster than the competition. Domestic oriented pharma is another sector where strong growth is sustainable.
Is it really possible to identify long-term compounders many years ahead?
Ten years ago not many would have thought Symphony or Eicher Motors were long-term compounders. The simple mantra to identify long-term compounders is to look for 'moat with growth'. Hence, it is important to ascertain whether the moat is strong enough and sustainable enough. Then and only then, we will have a high probability of getting sustainable high growth in a company.
Symphony and Eicher both came up with conventional products, which addressed a latent demand in the economy. With rising per capita income and shifting patterns of consumer spending, air coolers and premium bikes exploded as categories and these brands were present as entrenched market leaders in these categories. The contributing factors to such compounding stories is a strong product with a decent brand pull and presence in a category set to explode, riding the tails of an economic trend.
How do you define quality, which is the first filter in the QGLP framework? What are the indications of a quality management?
Quality is proven by a management's behaviour over a period of time - how it builds and protects the brand, what capital allocation decisions it takes, how it builds sustainable cost advantages and also how it behaves when things go wrong. Effectively, for us, as investors, higher quality should reflect in a higher RoCE across the cycle compared to the cost of capital as well as competing businesses.
In the QGLP framework, price comes last. Shouldn't it come first? Isn't every stock a buy at some price?
The price of a stock has to be 'unit-ised' to make any sense. The most common way we unit-ise price is through the PE ratio. Market-cap to sales, enterprise value to EBITDA and price to book value are other methods. There are two factors which determine how much money you make in a stock: PE ratio and earnings growth. For long-term investors like us, we definitely want to (1) buy high and sustain earnings growth and (2) buy only when the probability of PE ratio decompression is low.
Q, G, L and P are four pillars of an overarching investment framework. For the framework to be stable and deliver value over the long term, all four pillars have to be solid. The right way to figure what comes first is to ask what is non negotiable in your investment framework. If we say that we will not buy stocks below a certain quality threshold, then whatever be the price, we will stay away. Similarly, growth is also a very important factor for us in the overall scheme of things.
Please tell us about the common traits you have seen across companies that generate superior returns on capital employed across cycles?
Certain businesses (like established FMCG companies) naturally lend themselves to higher RoCEs. Within this set of consumer oriented businesses, the ones which truly do better are those which have the pricing power driven by brand pull and a strong control of the distribution network. Then there are companies which create certain cost advantages, either on the capital expenditure or operating expense front to create an edge over competition, thus creating sustainably higher RoCE business models. For established companies, a study of the operating history of the company, especially its capital allocation decisions and handling of business cycles, help us understand its future potential.
Will the concept of moats fade as tech disruptions upset traditional business models?
Lately popular media has been highlighting the increased pace of tech disruptions, which is true, too. But things are not always as rosy or as bad as the popular imagination conceives them to be. Tech disruptions have been the story of human evolution and growth. So, of course, some business models will crumble and disappear, like Kodak, and others will shine through, like Microsoft, using tech as an enabler to improve their business strength.
Decades from now they will continue to be great well run businesses which will make tonnes of money for the astute investor. I personally feel that the impact of tech enabled 'disruption' on supply chains in India will be a fantastic thing for companies with strong products which had suffered from an expensive distribution reach. Financial savings and investment products, educational services, etc., are great examples of such businesses.
How do you identify value migration?
Value migration is an omnipresent economic phenomenon and an omnipotent wealth creator. We just need to be aware of the build-up of contributing factors which lead to such value-migration themes playing out over the long horizon. Premiumisation (shift from rail to air travel) and cost and skill arbitrage (owing to demographics) in industries such as IT and pharma are classic examples of such value migration.
Do you believe in taking large cash calls in equity funds?
No. When we raise money in equity funds, we do so with the clear understanding that the investor wants to invest in equities on the current market prices. We do not second guess that choice of the investor and hence refrain from taking large cash calls in actively managed equity funds.
Looking at Indian markets over a long period shows that there are fancied sectors and fads that work in each cycle, like real estate in 2003-2008 or consumption oriented companies from 2008 to 2015. How do you ensure that you retain sanity on valuations when riding such trends?
Fads get reflected in two things in the markets: hyper-bullish narratives and frothy valuations. Serious investors have to balance the numbers with the narrative and stay clear of fallacious stories. Same with high valuations. Hyper valuations are easier to understand (while still being quite tough). Fallacious narratives on future hyper growth are a tougher nut to crack and need solid business and economic understanding to be able to probe.
Does tracing macros matter at Motilal Oswal? Do you base your decisions on factors like QE or US rates?
Not too much. It is important to be aware of the longer-term macroeconomic construct in which your stocks are operating. For example, the loose global liquidity environment did likely lead to valuations of asset classes getting stretched. So, when you see the tightening of the monetary policy in developed markets, it is very clear that the PE re-rating that markets have enjoyed in the last five years is over.
What are the special considerations when you pick mid and small-cap stocks? Is the process very different from that of large-caps?
In my mind, market-cap is largely a continuum. Among other things, I like to see the market-cap of a company in conjunction with the opportunity size that it operates in. IT companies and select auto-component players seem to have cracked the code for addressing the global market in their respective industries, which makes the potential market-cap opportunity larger. On the other hand, there would be niche manufacturing companies whose addressable market is so small that in spite of being dominant players in their product categories, they will remain mid-caps perennially.
The challenges of investing in smaller market-cap companies is that they might have a smaller operating history and lesser market scrutiny of their corporate practices. As an investor, we might need to work harder on these aspects.
When and why do you sell a portfolio holding?
The most important reason to sell a stock is that the business model (including longevity of moat and growth potential) has broken down. Then it is a clear case for exiting the stock. Valuations are another important reason why one might exit a stock.

100 Years of U.S. Navy Aircraft Carriers
Andrew Moss+1 (813) 675 3820
In the background is the USS Langley (CV-1) the first retrofitted U.S. aircraft carrier above it is a Vought VE-7 aircraft. The center carrier is the USS Ranger (CV-4) with a Wildcat aircraft that was assigned to the Ranger. In the foreground is the USS Gerald R Ford (CVN-78) with an F35C flying above. On the deck you will find a complement of aircraft including the H-60, F-18, E-2D, F-35 and MQ-25. The seal is framed with 100 stars. (U.S. Navy image)
In 2022, the U.S. Navy will celebrate a century of the aircraft carriers and personnel that have formed the most powerful at-sea platform for force projection and diplomacy that the world has ever seen.
When the aircraft carrier USS Langley (CV 1) was commissioned in March 1922, it marked the birth of a new type of seaborne weapon, one that had much to do with making the U.S. Navy a dominant naval power. From Langley and its humble beginnings as a converted collier, to today's USS Gerald R Ford (CVN-78) representing the most advanced war-fighting platform in the world, the American aircraft carrier has been the mainstay in executing the U.S. Navy's mission of defending our nation and its interests around the globe.

Dragoons in Apacheland : Conquest and Resistance in Southern New Mexico, 1846-1861
by William S. Kiser
In the fifteen years prior to the American Civil War, the U.S. Army established a presence in southern New Mexico, the homeland of Mescalero, Mimbres, and Mogollon bands of the Apache Indians. From the army's perspective, the Apaches presented an obstacle to be overcome in making the region--newly acquired in the Mexican-American War--safe for Anglo settlers. In Dragoons in Apacheland, William S. Kiser recounts the conflicts that ensued and examines how both Apache warriors and American troops shaped the future of the Southwest Borderlands. Kiser narrates two distinct contests. The Apaches were defending their territory against the encroachment of soldiers and settlers. At the same time, the Anglo-Americans maneuvered against one another in a competition for political and economic power and for Apache territory. Cross-cultural misunderstandings, political corruption in Santa Fe and Washington, anti-Indian racism, troublemakers among both Apaches and settlers, irresponsible army officers and troops, corrupt American and Mexican traders, and policy disagreements among government officials all contributed to the ongoing hostilities. Kiser examines the behaviors and motivations of individuals involved in all aspects of these local, regional, and national disputes. Kiser is one of only a few historians to deal with this crucial period in Indian-white relations in the Southwest--and the first to detail the experiences of the First and Second United States Dragoons, elite mounted troops better equipped and trained than infantry to confront Apache guerrilla warriors more accustomed to the southwestern environment. Often led by the Gila leader Mangas Coloradas, the Apaches fought desperately to protect their lands and way of life. The Americans, Kiser shows, used unauthorized tactics of total warfare, encouraging field units to attack villages and destroy crops and livestock, particularly when the Apaches refused to engage the troops in pitched battles. Kiser's insights into the pre-Civil War conflicts in southern New Mexico are essential to a deeper understanding of the larger U.S.-Apache war that culminated in the heroic resistance of Cochise, Victorio, and Geronimo.

The team at ECT wanted to take a moment to wish you all a very Happy Thanksgiving and may it be spent with family, friends or anyone else special you may have in your life. May your belly be filled with good food, delicious desserts, and outstanding wines.
Starting off, I think we can all agree that we are thankful for this much needed rain on this Holiday which has cleaned the air after smoke filled skies the last 10 days.
But on a more serious note, thank you for all the support of this site which has come in a variety of ways. Whether its through daily reads of stories, sharing the stories on social media, donations, or purchasing the app–the support at times is overwhelming at times as the daily rat race has been a hectic one so far in 2018.
Equality as important, we would also like to thank all of our advertisers who utilize our services which if it was not for them supporting us, the site would be a shell of what you see today. We are so thank you to each and every advertiser who believes in us and has partnered with us.
Finally, a giant thank you to all of our first responders working today to ensure our communities are safe, those working in hospitals, as well as our military.
Happy Thanksgiving Mike and team! Also would like to wish all a very Happy Thanksgiving!
Yes glad the smoke is gone but more importantly we need to think about those who lost everything and help them if and when we can.


Go to the separate Travel & Directions and Camping & Food pages for directions and information about the venue for the event.
But please note the time of earliest arrival is 5pm Friday, and that the site must be clear by midday on Sunday 1st September.
This is at the race HQ. Registration will be open from 5pm - 10pm Friday, then 5am - 5.30am on raceday.
This is in race HQ at 5.30am.
The Dartmoor 50 is CUPLESS - read HERE for detail plus link to example of a perfect lightweight, folding cup to bring with you for the race.
Marking 50 miles of Dartmoor is not an easy task! The route will be marked at junctions and confirmed after junctions but in-between will have fewer race markings. The goal is to ensure you get onto the right paths and take the correct turns at junctions, then with common sense run on the path you have been directed onto until the next marking/ junction! Marking the route will be a big task but something that is very important to make the event what it could be - a big race over wild ground without the need for navigating, to allow everyone to be able to take part and race it to the best of their ability and fitness will allow.
As with all race route markings they are at the mercy of the weather, animals and passers-by not wanting to see them out on the moor. Unfortunately these are things out of our control but we aim to mark it as late as possible to try and avoid problems and minimise the time markings are in situ before the race passes through.
The Dartmoor Highground races used 250 bespoke, event specific arrow signs that are reflective taped, plus up to 1200 surveyors flags. This works very well and is also checked on the day of the race.
You will be provided with a map of the route. This is partly so in the unlikely event of route confusion or markings being tampered with you have a back up, but more for peace of mind and the emergency kit you carry with you - we are not going to send you out onto Dartmoor without a map and compass! If you wish to carry a GPS with the route during the race that is allowed, please email info@freedom-racing.co.uk and we can send you the GPX.


I love it when companies take classic "men" pieces and tweak them just ever so slightly to be the perfect lifetime piece for women. This oversized blazer from Everlane is a perfect example of this. It's a piece that will easily stand the test of time and is great as a casual or business ready piece. Check below for my full review on this piece including fit, comfort and care!
My first thought when I unwrapped this blazer was that it is really well made. You know when you can just tell a blazer is really nice? It has a good weight to it, the seams are beautifully finished and the fit is just right.
This blazer has the right amount of oversized which can be a tricky feat for a garment that is generally supposed to be form fitting. This blazer fits me perfectly in the shoulders and is the correct sleeve length. But the length is longer than your traditional blazer and the body of it has a little extra room (in a wonderful way). I can easily layer sweaters underneath but still have a blazer that fits me properly. Win win! I debated between ordering a size 4 or a size 2 for a while and opted for the size 2. I was nervous that the shoulders on the 4 would be too oversized for my shoulders. I probably could have gotten away with the 4 but happy I did the 2 for a more fitted look in the sleeves.
| DETAILS | I find that the tiny details are so important when it comes to classic pieces, especially when they're solid black. This blazer has two side sleeve buttons and two front pockets which give it a beautiful classic look. There is also a functional inside pocket for your convenience & two functional outside pockets.
| COMFORT | I love that Everlane chose wool for this black blazer. It gives it a nice weight that feel luxurious without having to spend a ridiculous amount of money. It doesn't feel stuffy or stiff and moves with me very easily.
| CARE | This will probably be an item that I spot clean and try to steam while I'm in the shower to freshen it up.
| STYLE | I've loved throwing this over my outfits as an alternative to a normal coat. I've always found my most interesting outfit combinations when I do that. I particularly love it paired with more relaxed basics like a tee shirt and sneakers but it would look great over a holiday dress or maybe with some wide leg long trousers and a classic vintage button up for a powerhouse look.
I did receive this piece as a gift from Everlane but was not asked to write a post on it and all opinions are my own. I just seriously love it that much! I also wanted to let you know that this post does contain affiliate links and when you shop through those links I do receive a small commission. Thank you for supporting the brands that support The Thoughtful Closet!

Q: DropDownList with GridView ASP.NET I have a DropDownList that's databound to our SQL server with an ID, First Name, Last Name.  I've then added a GridView and Configured the Data Source to this

SELECT [ID], [fName], [lName] FROM [cb1] WHERE ([ID] = @ID)

Basically what I want it to do is when someone selects the first name from the dropdown it will pop up with the ID, First Name, and Last Name in the GridView.
The Problem is, when it's loaded the DropDownList is empty and has no data, and the GridView is also missing.
Here is the markup.
<asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False"
        DataKeyNames="ID" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1"
        EmptyDataText="There are no data records to display.">
        <Columns>
            <asp:CommandField ShowEditButton="True" ShowSelectButton="True" />
            <asp:BoundField DataField="ID" HeaderText="ID" ReadOnly="True"
                SortExpression="ID" />
            <asp:BoundField DataField="fName" HeaderText="fName" SortExpression="fName" />
            <asp:BoundField DataField="lName" HeaderText="lName" SortExpression="lName" />
        </Columns>
    </asp:GridView>
    <asp:DropDownList ID="DropDownList1" runat="server"
        DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1" DataTextField="ID" DataValueField="ID">
    </asp:DropDownList>
    <asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource1" runat="server"
        ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:comboConnectionString1 %>"
        DeleteCommand="DELETE FROM [cb1] WHERE [ID] = @ID"
        InsertCommand="INSERT INTO [cb1] ([fName], [lName]) VALUES (@fName, @lName)"
        ProviderName="<%$ ConnectionStrings:comboConnectionString1.ProviderName %>"
        SelectCommand="SELECT [ID], [fName], [lName] FROM [cb1] WHERE ([ID] = @ID)"
        UpdateCommand="UPDATE [cb1] SET [fName] = @fName, [lName] = @lName WHERE [ID] = @ID">
        <DeleteParameters>
            <asp:Parameter Name="ID" Type="Int32" />
        </DeleteParameters>
        <InsertParameters>
            <asp:Parameter Name="fName" Type="String" />
            <asp:Parameter Name="lName" Type="String" />
        </InsertParameters>
        <SelectParameters>
            <asp:ControlParameter ControlID="DropDownList1" Name="ID"
                PropertyName="SelectedValue" Type="Int32" />
        </SelectParameters>
        <UpdateParameters>
            <asp:Parameter Name="fName" Type="String" />
            <asp:Parameter Name="lName" Type="String" />
            <asp:Parameter Name="ID" Type="Int32" />
        </UpdateParameters>
    </asp:SqlDataSource>
</p>

A:
The Problem is, when it's loaded the DropDownList is empty and has no
  data, and the GridView is also missing.

When your page first time loads it fires this Sql query (SELECT [ID], [fName], [lName] FROM [cb1] WHERE ([ID] = @ID) to return results for sqldatasource1 which is used by the grid and the combo
means no results will be returned because @ID will be null or 0
So you will have (SELECT [ID], [fName], [lName] FROM [cb1] WHERE ([ID] = @ID OR [ID] IS NOT NULL)

A: Table Contains id,Name,department and age

 Department :
        <asp:DropDownList ID="DropDownList1" runat="server" AutoPostBack="True"
            DataSourceID="SqlDataSource2" DataTextField="Department"
            DataValueField="Department">
        </asp:DropDownList>
        <br />
        <asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource2" runat="server"
            ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:demoConnectionString %>"
            SelectCommand="SELECT DISTINCT [Department] FROM [profile]">
        </asp:SqlDataSource>
        <asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False"
            DataKeyNames="id" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource3">
            <Columns>
                <asp:BoundField DataField="id" HeaderText="id" InsertVisible="False"
                    ReadOnly="True" SortExpression="id" />
                <asp:BoundField DataField="Name" HeaderText="Name" SortExpression="Name" />
                <asp:BoundField DataField="Department" HeaderText="Department"
                    SortExpression="Department" />
                <asp:BoundField DataField="Age" HeaderText="Age" SortExpression="Age" />
            </Columns>
        </asp:GridView>
        <asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource3" runat="server"
            ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:demoConnectionString %>"
            SelectCommand="SELECT * FROM [profile] WHERE ([Department] = @Department)">
            <SelectParameters>
                <asp:ControlParameter ControlID="DropDownList1" Name="Department"
                    PropertyName="SelectedValue" Type="String" />
            </SelectParameters>

The advantages of rolled vs. cut threads for fluid system instrumentation fittings – March 2019 – Fluid Systems Africa
The threads on Fluid Systems' HAM-LET range of hydraulic fittings are rolled. But what does this mean, and why is this a better method than cutting threads as some other manufacturers do? Rolled threads have improved physical characteristics, greater accuracy and a high degree of surface finish. They are produced with no wastage of material, which also results in cost savings. These advantages account for the increased adoption of rolled threads.
The cold forging that threads receive during the rolling process strengthens them in tension, shear and fatigue.
Tensile strength: the cold working of the surface increases the tensile strength of the metal, and static tensile tests have frequently recorded increases of the order of 30% in the breaking strength of the parts.
Shear strength: when a thread is rolled, the fibres of the material are not severed as they are in other methods of screw thread production, but are re-formed in continuous unbroken lines following the contours of the threads. Rolled threads resist stripping because shear failures must take place across rather than with the grain.
Resistance to fatigue: thread rolling increases the part's resistance to fatigue failure in several different ways. Rolling between smooth dies leaves the thread with smooth burnished roots and flanks, free from tears, chatter or cutter marks that can serve as focal points of stress and therefore, starting points for fatigue failures. Rolling also leaves the surface layers of the thread, particularly those in the roots, stressed in the compression. These compressive stresses must be overcome before the tensile stresses can be built up, which alone, can cause fatigue failures. This increase in root hardness of up to 30% considerably adds to the parts' resistance to fatigue.
It has been repeatedly demonstrated that any fitting that is properly tightened when it is installed, and remains tight throughout its life, is less likely to fail through fatigue than one that is assembled loosely, or that works loose during service. Threads produced by any of the cutting methods have a surface condition consisting of partly torn-away particles that gradually bear down in service, permitting the fitting to loosen. Rolled threads, on the other hand, are compacted and burnished during threading, making them less prone to loosening, which extends the fatigue life.
Rolled threads show no loss of fatigue strength when heated for several hours to temperatures up to 250°C, whereas fatigue strengths of threads produced by other means are lowered by as much as 25% when treated the same way. Improvements in fatigue strength resulting from all the above factors is reported to be of the order of 50-75%.
The production of accurate threads normally requires that close control be exercised over pitch diameter, thread angle, lead, taper and roundness. There are a number of reasons why it is inherently easier to achieve high accuracy in these parameters by rolling. Equally important, this accuracy is retained over long periods of time.
Thread angle and lead: the accuracy of the thread angle and the lead produced is almost entirely dependent upon the accuracy of the dies. In most cases, the thread angle and the lead on the die is exactly reproduced on the material rolled. The accuracy of the lead produced can also be influenced by the setup of the dies and the material being rolled. Some types of harder and stiffer materials have a tendency to 'spring back' after rolling, with the result that the lead may be contracted by a very small amount. In such cases, dies with expanded lead may be used, which will uniformly produce threads of the correct lead.
Roundness: this is dependent on the roundness and uniformity of hardness of the blank, and upon the rate of application and release of the die pressure. If the dies are designed and set up to apply and release pressure gradually and uniformly, close tolerances on roundness may be steadily maintained.
Uniformity: if sufficient care is taken, it is possible to produce extremely accurate threads by any of the common threading methods, but rolling is unique in its inherent ability to maintain the accuracy of the original setup during long runs of high speed production. The thread form of a set of thread rolling dies is faithfully reproduced on the parts and does not change appreciably during the entire life of the dies. Thread rolling dies do not wear out in the same manner as do other threading tools. Wear, instead of being concentrated on a sharp cutting edge, is distributed over a broad surface, and the rolling action is relatively free from friction. Therefore, the thread form of a rolling die is not changed by erosion, nor does it fail to reproduce itself because of dullness or adhesion. It cannot be altered by improper sharpening, as sharpening is never required.
The development of the thread rolling process and the thread rolling equipment is by no means complete. On the contrary, there is more interest and activity in the process now than at any time in its history. New types of machines and attachments are constantly being developed, and the process is finding new applications where its speed, accuracy, uniformity, and the strength that it adds to the parts rolled, can be used to reduce costs and improve the quality of an endless number of threaded parts.
Thread and form rolling is a simple cold forging process confined almost entirely to external threads. It is referred to as a cold forging process because most rolling is done on cold blanks. However, rolling of threads on heated blanks has been beneficial on some applications. Today, thread and form rolling is accepted by many industries as a preferred method of producing uniform smooth, precise threads of superior physical qualities.
Crimp Couplings Fittings
Hardened steel dies are used to roll the threads. The threaded faces of the these dies are pressed against the periphery of plain cylindrical blanks and reform the surface into threads as the blank rolls on the die faces. The working faces of the dies have a thread form which is the reverse of the thread to be produced. In penetrating the surface of the blank, the dies displace the material to form the roots of the thread and force the displaced material radially outward to form the crests of the thread.

In the Autumn 2005 Solent Circuit, organised by the Lymington Town Sailing Club, the top three overall positions in IRC Class 1 were all taken by boats designed by Humphreys Yacht Design.
First place went to the Humphreys 40 Eclipse VII (pictured above), owned and sailed by Doug and Clare Hassell.
Second place went to the HOD 35 Zarafa, owned by Peter Scholfield. The HOD 35 is a highly regarded 35 ft cruiser-racer generally considered an excellent sea-going boat which, while not designed to any particular rule, has proved itself capable of competing under a variety of handicap systems. Following the launch of the first in 1996, around twenty were subsequently built and boats can now be found in the UK, Ireland, France and the Netherlands.
Third place was taken by the Elan 37 Fidelitas, owned by Jo and Mark Broadway. The Elan 37 was first introduced in 2003 and continues the Humphreys theme of designing fast, good looking yachts that have the space and fit-out below to make excellent fast cruising boats when away from the race-course. Elan Yachts is based in Slovenia and with has over fifty years experience of boat building. Sold in the UK by Moody Yachts International, the Elan range also includes a 31, 333 and 40, all designed by Humphreys Yacht Design.

Advent Reflection - Friday of the Third Week of Advent
by Sr. Patricia Bruno, O.P.
We don't hear a lot about Joseph in the Gospels. In fact, Mark's and John's Gospel don't mention him and Luke tells the story of the Annunciation from Mary's point of view. Joseph is silent in the Gospels, but Matthew tells us something very important. Joseph "was a righteous man." In Hebrew "righteous" is a big word because God is "Righteous." Righteousness refers to a person of integrity who not only seeks justice, lives the Ten Commandments, but also whose heart is open to the Mystery of God. Joseph was a man formed by the paradoxical faith stories of his ancestors; the courage of the prophets; the daily meditations of the psalms which enabled him to say "Yes" to God's invitations throughout his life.
Yet, for Joseph, this situation was tragically different from anything he had experienced. But he trusted the subtle presence of the God he had come to know. He didn't have an apparition. God didn't whisper in his ear. God offered him a dream that not only confirmed the compassion and love Joseph had for Mary, but also led him deeper into the mystery of salvation.
The Gospel today begins by saying "This is how the birth of Jesus Christ came about." Our times are different, but Joseph helps us understand what it means to live by faith. He reminds us of the importance of silence and deep listening, as we suspend our judgment of others and lean on compassion and mercy. With Joseph we pray today for discerning spirits so we can continue saying "Yes" to whatever invitations God offers us so Christ might be birthed anew in our world today.
