What if I told you that there’s a technique that if faithfully applied would absolutely guarantee your success in starting and building your business? Well, such a technique exists although it sometimes seems like a well-kept secret.
I’ve shared it in my seminars and in my writing, but getting people to actually try it for themselves has been another matter.
Whenever I receive a call or e-mail from someone telling me that they’re stuck, I can be certain that they haven’t given this idea a fair shake.
On the other hand, those I’ve managed to convince to use it every day report that things really start happening— and quickly.
Any successful goal setter will tell you that reaching goals big or small is dependent on breaking the big picture into tiny doable steps. That’s the essence of my favorite idea, the $100 Hour.
It works with such infallible certainty that once you make it a regular part of your plans, it’s like a rocket propelling you to your goals. You can begin implementing the $100 Hour even if you have other commitments that clamor for your attention.
Begin by making a pact with yourself that you will set aside time daily, if possible, or at scheduled intervals, for the purpose of finding an idea that will bring you $100.
You needn’t complete the plan in the hour, but if time permits use your surplus to get your idea rolling. Do research, make calls, write letters or e-mails— anything that moves you closer.
If you’re focusing your energies on a single profit center, then come up with an idea for expanding it in a way that will earn another $100. If your business plan is more eclectic, then this time can be spent designing a variety of projects.
A word of warning is in order here. While this idea works wonders, your ego may tell you that $100 is too insignificant to bother with.
After all, great fortunes and grand achievements have been accomplished by steadfast devotion to creating tiny successes—which ultimately add up to enormous successes.
The discipline that comes with using this technique is perhaps its greatest bonus.
However, once you start seeing results, don’t stop using it. With continued practice, you’ll find it gets easier and easier to come up with a $100 idea. At that point, you can raise the monetary stakes, if you like.
At any rate, you’ll discover that the quality of your ideas gets better and better with practice.
Here's another postcard from the field that caught my fancy.
I think so often in this world people think that being good at business is about being clever, but the thing about business is that it involves people—and people are interested in what's in your heart. I have worked at many different things, but one that gave me incredible insight was being a children's entertainer. Children will automatically want to join in with whatever activity you want them to engage in as long as you look like you're having a magical time. If you are following your bliss, they will join in with more enthusiasm than you could have cultivated in an hour worth of telling them how fun things were going to be. They don't want to be told what to do. They want to have an adventure. I think most adults are the same. That is why the most important thing about being an entrepreneur is having a magical life—casting a wonderful spell that enchants the people you come into contact with. When you do everything with the intention of loving your clients as people, they can feel it and they will in turn love you back. That will love your business too. This is not a thought out process, but a way of being. There is so much happiness to be had in giving, receiving and, most importantly, in wonderment. When you are filled with wonder, both of these things are more likely and easy. I loved the part when you talked about people who seem young are filled with a sense of curiosity. It is definitely true in the people I have met and some appear timeless. Some people think that wealth is all about how much money you earn, but living in abundance means filling your life up with beauty, appreciation and joy. Katherine Flynn, London, UKThis month I'm sharing postcards from the field. Hearing these stories is one of my favorite parts of my business. This one may sound familiar.
I have been in a terrible slump for seven months since I was unceremoniously shown the door at my corporate workplace. At the same time, I knew this was my chance to escape a career that sucked the life out of me anyway. However, with no positive feedback for my entrepreneurial ideas, I kept going back to the same old well which had long since dried up. After all, my long resume showed years of accomplishment in my field. After months of interviewing for jobs I didn't want and countless hours scouring the Internet, I was still unemployed and more confused than every. So I've been on a quest to discover a new way of living, a better way, that makes me feel alive again. But I had no guidance, only naysayers. Ever hopeful that enough research would unearth the path to my new life, last Friday night I threw on some jeans and a sweatshirt and headed to the bookstore. I went straight for the business section and gathered as many books as I could carry over to the threadbare couch, thinking how well that tired, beat-up thing matched my outfit and spirit. Carefully, I searched through each book for some glimmer of inspiration but they all seemed written for someone else until I picked up Making a Living Without a Job. It struck a chord immediately and I couldn't wait to get it home and devour it. I wrote down the ideas that seemed to be pouring out of my head faster than I could capture them. Here's the thing: I had these ideas before, but whenever I looked back at them, they seemed foolish and impossible. I was listening to all the naysayers in my life, a tape I play over and over whenever I try to do something that is not mainstream. I simply need to throw that tape away, but I guess I hung onto it as the voice of reason that kept me from investigating my wild ideas and crazy dreams. It really is not my own fear, however, that has held me back. It is the fear of others. I can't throw away the people who care about me, but I will not share my dreams anymore. The advice I receive paralyzes me from seeking what I really want and pushes me to search for a job that meets with their approval. Their ideas and mine are so completely at opposite ends of the spectrum, I have been doomed to a merry-go-round of indecision. Barbara, your voice is now the one in my head. I look at you and what you have created and I am profoundly inspired. I am encouraged to take the leap and do what I was put on this earth to do. I am an artist and I was withering in the corporate world. I was drowning in a sea of confusion and you have told me that my ideas aren't crazy, that it can be done. For that I am deeply grateful. I will let you know how my new life unfolds now that the straight jacket has been removed from my creative spirit. Kate Taylor, Minneapolis, MNRecently, I was browsing in some back issues of Winning Ways newsletter and found myself rereading letters I'd published over the years. I decided to share some of my favorites this month.
I found your book, Making a Living Without a Job, about three years ago. I read it, thought it was inspiring, and put it on my "keep" bookshelf. After a few weeks, I read it again. Since that time, I have read that darn book at least six times. When I bought it, I was in a high-pressure, unrewarding job as a foreman for a masonry construction company. Today I am Joyfully Jobless! I've been on my own for almost two years and could not be happier. Not that life is easy: it's just more rewarding. My relationships with everyone in my life have improved as a result of following my passions. What do I do? Well, I have several profit centers. I build ponds and waterfalls as one profit center. Another is upgrading concrete patios and garages with coatings. I also trim very tall palm trees. I enjoy climbing way up there! In addition, I install landscapes, still do masonry projects and sell things on eBay. I am constantly thinking up new ideas to try out. I could go on and on. You and your book helped me find the courage to step out and change my life—and that of my family too. Incidentally, I believe in supporting things and people that have a positive impact which is why I decided to send the $36 for the subscription. It's the least I can do to thank you for what you have done for me. Sean Williams, Mesa, AZRecently, I was browsing in some back issues of Winning Ways newsletter and found myself rereading letters I'd published over the years. I decided to share some of my favorites this month.
Although I have shared this before, I am doing so again in the optimistic hope that someone reads it and actually gives it a try.
We’re on birth alert around here right now. No, I am not expecting another grandchild. The arriving baby belongs to my doula daughter’s client.
I had never heard of birthing doulas until a few years ago when a student in one of my Sacramento seminars told me that she was one.
According to Wikipedia, this is an ancient profession that originated in Greece. A doula is a nonmedical person who assists before, during and after childbirth. The continuous support during labor is associated with improved maternal and fetal health.
How Jennie became a doula still intrigues me.
One morning about seven years ago, she fetched me from the Burbank Airport. She could hardly wait to tell me her news.
For some time, Jennie had wanted to have a second child, but was not getting much enthusiasm from her partner.
Although it was early in the day, she had already called her local college, found out the requirements for becoming a midwife and was planning to enroll.
She spend the next year taking math and science classes which had not been part of her previous undergraduate program. After doing her catch-up work, she was scheduled for two years of nursing training followed by midwifery school.
It was a big commitment. Along the way, Jennie did have a second child and decided that doula training was a better fit for her. She also added Reiki training and hypnobirthing to her toolbox.
Although I’ve never seen her in action, I can imagine that her calm and confident demeanor is a huge asset to her clients. I have heard that she’s glowing when she returns home from a birth.
Ray Bradbury advised, “In the moment of knowing a love, intensify it.” New ideas are as fragile as babies. They also require incessant nurturing if they are going to grow into something magnificent.
That’s precisely what Jennie did.
It also happens to be the way we get our marching orders for the Joyfully Jobless life.
I recently moved and came across the materials from a seminar that you hosted with Valerie Young in western Massachusetts. I found the Work at What You Love workbook and now I am living the life I wrote about then. I’m actually doing even more creative stuff than I could have dreamed of back then.
I remember that I loved the seminar but really was at a place where I thought the ideas would work for anyone but not me. I had very low self-esteem in the area of work because I kept choosing jobs that were a poor match.
This was how I thought my life was going to be: just grin and bear it and accept that I would never live my life from a more authentic place. So I kept working these draining jobs, going to therapy, completely stressed about money all the time.
And yet, there was a part of me that would not give up.
My husband saw an ad for an innkeeper. At the time, I was working at a hotel as a front office manager on Cape Cod and was so miserable. I called and the owner said he was really not looking for an employee, but a business partner.
We were not ready to lease the inn, so we offered to run the inn as independent contractors and had a legal agreement drawn up. Now, basically, we work for ourselves and get a decent percentage of what we bring in.
We run the inn how we want to and we are truly having the time of our lives. We both get to use our skills and because they are so different they compliment each other well.
My husband says that he feels alive in a way that he has not in a long time. We just discovered new space behind the inn that we will be turning into retreat/meeting/yoga space.
It is so funny because now I am never sure how much money will be coming in week to week and it is the thing I worry about least.
I am having way too much fun working hard and now believe that the Universe will provide me with everything that I need because it already has.
Here’s another postcard from the field that caught my fancy.

Barbara, your voice is now the one in my head. I look at you and what you have created and I am profoundly inspired. I am encouraged to take the leap and do what I was put on this earth to do.
I am an artist and I was withering in the corporate world. I was drowning in a sea of confusion and you have told me that my ideas aren’t crazy, that it can be done. For that I am deeply grateful.
I will let you know how my new life unfolds now that the straight jacket has been removed from my creative spirit.
In January 2000, I left my career as a senior systems analyst to homeschool my son. He has medical needs and is flourishing in our relaxed home environment.
During this process, I started exploring being a self-bosser. I did six months of technical writing on a part-time basis from my home. It sounds ideal and I got paid well, yet I found that my heart wasn’t in it.
However, that got me on the track of writing. I started writing nonfiction articles for a local newspaper. Then I picked up assignments for another newspaper. I focus on people in my community that have a passion for their businesses or hobbys.
Every time I interview one of these interesting people, I’m inspired all over again.
Today, I really had a thrill. I had done an article over a year ago about a woman who has opened a boutique every year for three weeks in November. This is her nineteenth year in operation.
She holds her store in an antique barn on her property and it’s filled with creations from over fifty area artisans, from wood furniture to quilts, holiday decorations and much more.
I often get thank you cards from the people I interview. I have come to realize that what I do is a service. These small business owners get the recognition they deserve and free publicity.
I get paid for my writing, but I get so much more. I get the special honor of telling their story.
Once in awhile, an ad will pop up on television featuring small business and, of course, those ads always get my undivided attention. I especially have liked the one running recently from the US Postal Service featuring homebased businesses.
It begins with the mailman saying something like, “I have one employer. Actually, I have forty-six.” It goes on to show him picking up packages at the front doors of’ different houses. Nice.
There’s another one from LegalZoom that also gets my attention, but not quite for the same reason. This ad features a woman who has started a candy business using her mother’s special toffee recipe.
I’m pretty sure she’s being sincere—and that makes me sad. Why in the world should making a living in a creative, joyful way be rare?
Years ago, I heard the wonderful Ray Bradbury speak at the Santa Barbara Writers Conference. He said something I’d never heard before, but have never forgotten.
Can you imagine what would happen if all of us took that advice seriously? That when we uncovered a new love we would nurture, not ignore, it? Or when we met a kindred spirit we’d make spending time with them a top priority?
Sometimes those loves—whether recent or longtime—became the basis of a business. Sometimes those loves are an enduring pastime. Either way, it’s up to us whether we intensify or weaken our affection.
Seems to me that one of the most effective ways of intensifying our loves is by sharing them. If you spend any time at all on Facebook or Twitter, you’ll notice that some people are using those venues to pass along discoveries that have enriched their lives.
What I know for sure is that when we follow the path recommended by Ray Bradbury, the rewards are enormous.
* Go to the library. Whenever I’m in a slump, a trip to the library never fails to get me unstuck. Every shelf is loaded with possibility. Browse in sections you don’t normally visit.
* Interview self-bossers. Choose the joyfully jobless, not just the self-employed. Let their passion rub off on you.
* Pay attention. Listen to the compliments that come your way. They may hold the key to a profit center. Listen to what people say is missing in the world for more clues.
* Play every day. Even if you aren’t yet running a business fulltime, do something—no matter how small—to move yourself ahead each and every day.
* Break your goals into 90-Day Projects.
* Give your projects a theme. A theme helps you focus your mind and sparks creative thoughts.
* Pick an entrepreneurial hero or heroine and become an expert on their life.
* Carry a notebook. You never know when a great idea will strike or when you’ll see something worth remembering. Richard Branson carries one all the time. So should you.
* Read a novel. Not just any old story, however. Read novels that feature entrepreneurs as main characters. Mysteries, especially, feature them. You’ll learn alot.
* Have regular tune-ups. One seminar does not finish the learning process. As Zig Ziglar loved to remind us you wouldn’t just bathe once and think you’d done it, would you? Keep going back to the well.
* Immerse, don’t dabble. Follow your hunches and give them your nurturing attention. Take inventory on a regular basis to determine where you’re getting the biggest ROI on the time you invest.
* Acquire good tools. Use the best tools you can afford to do the best work you are capable of.
* Create an inspiring working environment. Your office or studio should be a place that rises up to meet you.
* Subscribe to Winning Ways. Read what successful entrepreneurs read. Build a library. Gather good information and ideas every single day.
* Memorize these five steps: HOW TO BUILD YOUR OWN LUCK 1. Get a hobby Find the thing that fascinates you most. You’ll recognize it instantly. It’s the thing you feel you have to do every day or the day is wasted. 2. Obsess Get to know it so well nothing about it is unpredictable, including its ability to surprise you. This part of the process will take approximately one lifetime. 3. Charge for it If you’re so crazy about it and so good at it, go pro! 4. Flourish If you’ve followed steps one, two and three, this is the easy part. 5. Succeed Do it so wildly that everyone tells you how lucky you are.

A county council which has taken a tough stance on windfarms said it was pleased that residents had backed its plans in a survey.
Lincolnshire County Council carried out an online survey asking people for their opinion on windfarms.
The council’s cabinet approved guidelines in June, restricting where wind turbines can be built and making it more difficult for developers to get permission for windfarms.
The guidelines were issued to local planning authorities but the county council wanted to make the stance an official policy.
Just under 4,000 people completed the online survey and 89 per cent of respondents agreed with the county council’s position on windfarms.
Furthermore, 63 per cent of people felt windfarms had no role to play in meeting our energy needs.
And 87 per cent of people said the county council’s guidelines should be taken into account when new windfarms are considered.
Leader of the county council Martin Hill (Con) said: “Clearly our residents feel something has to be done about the unrestrained spread of wind turbines across the county.
Coun Hill said the council understood the need for renewable energy but it couldn’t ignore the impact that wind turbines had on the countryside.
He said: “We need to make sure we balance our need for green energy against inappropriate developments that ruin the very environment we’re trying to protect.
A report will now be presented to the council’s executive members asking them to endorse a move to make the council’s current position official policy.
If they agree, the proposal will go before the full council on February 22 to be approved by members.

We aim to maintain and restore self-sustaining populations of Red Siskins in the bird’s natural habitat across its historic range. With this success, the Red Siskin will be a source of local and national pride, and a symbol of commitment to preserving natural heritage.
While many steps are required to realize this vision, the Project is making strong progress and continues to build momentum and add partners. Across the range of the Red Siskin, we have been very active with field research to achieve a better understanding of this species’ threats, ecology and evolution, which will facilitate the best possible decision making regarding conservation management and reintroduction. We are also building education programs and working on architectural design of Red Siskin conservation, rescue and education centers in Venezuela, while in Guyana, we are now focused on establishing habitat protection, creating a formal system for monitoring and reporting illegal trapping, providing education to local communities and building capacity through training in research and ornithological field skills. In the US, a captive population is now being established to support fundraising, education against the illegal pet trade, and research on husbandry, breeding, care and reintroduction techniques. Modern genomic methods are also being used to study important genetic questions and develop methods for managing captive populations. Partners in all countries are ramping up the effort to research and reduce trapping and trade in coordination with communities, local authorities and international organizations.
Several actions to protect Red Siskins are about to start. Three programs devoted to rescue, captive breeding, research, and public outreach are being created, in Venezuela and the US. Also local communities have begun to get involved in monitoring and protection in Guyana. Confiscation of poached birds, law enforcement, and public awareness are our mid-term targets, with creation of protected areas, reintroduction, and other actions as possibilities for the future, depending on research findings.

I have 2 tables that I'd like to join based on a supplied project number.
I want to supply a project number and create a record for that project number from table1 that contains a Short Description column and a Long Description Column per record.
01011111, Test Project, The Short Description, The Long Description.
I have a table called gms_tests that keeps track of the results of tests run against servers. Columns are hostname, testname, status and time. The tests are run (about 5 against each server) every half hour, and the results are put in the table. I need to be able to search this table and obtain the most recent result for each test. For example, I need something similar to: select distinct hostname,testname from gms_tests order by time desc but I also need to be able to see the time and status columns. I've tried something like this: select hostname,testname,status,max(time) from gms_tests group by hostname,testname but the data returned in the status column is not correct - it doesn't match the status that corresponds with the latest test time. Any ideas what might work I'm using MySQL version 3.23.58, so I can't use subqueries.

It’s two years since Google changed the brand rights rules and allowed advertisers to freely bid on each other’s brand terms. But, if the user is looking for that brand then surely they want to find that brand, and not alternatives? When is it about choice, and when is it about competition and spend?
Today, brands operate in a crowded marketplace, both online and offline, all jostling for number one position. In order to stand out, advertisers must invest in enhancing the customer experience, giving them choice while protecting their brand online. Search marketing is one of the most powerful weapons in the online marketing armoury. However, with the integration of site links and universal search results, the bulk of natural results are finding themselves being pushed further down the page, meaning even greater eye balls on paid search activity.
Search marketing facilitates all aspects of the customer user journey, from research to brand engagement, to, ultimately, purchase intent. Despite many brands now engaging more with understanding the broader mix of advertising, and wanting to understand the contributions made along the user journey, last click is still the primary model adopted.
So, if you, as the advertiser, are only able to feature your paid search ad once, this means there are up to nine advertisers potentially vying for ‘your’ customer, on your brand term. So how can you overcome this, and minimise leakage to your competitors? We addressed this exact problem with Premier Inn. By tapping into our strong innovative and technical expertise, we developed a strategy that would involve building a site, to complement Premier Inn’s own site.
Once built, the hotel locator site – www.premierinn-hotels.com – offered travellers easy access to location and route information for all of the 570 plus hotels across the UK. Working with Premier Inn we set out to simplify the whole selection process, by providing location and journey-planning information based around one simple destination question. The site is divided between a destination search and a route planner. Information is then provided on both areas for each Premier Inn selected, including price of accommodation, address details, directions as well as a booking link through to the main Premier Inn site.
By playing to our strengths in the digital performance arena, Found has been able to provide Premier Inn’s prospective customers with a really useful, innovative tool. And, by providing extra value to the consumer, we are also able to invest in search marketing, bidding on brand, and brand variations, to help secure greater eye balls on Premier Inn.
There is always the risk of simply taking sales that would have gone to the brand direct, but the strategy was built to ensure we actually contributed to revenue as well as protecting the brand. The investment was managed tightly, to ensure we did not negatively impact Premier Inn’s search spend, and drove incremental bookings, along with the added value of offering multi-messaging opportunities for Premier Inn. With the site now firmly established, we are looking at how we can broaden the strategy to encompass more generic activity.

I had the Adv. Password Protect working great and today someone tried to login and it gave them an error regarding "cannot find users list". I logged into the manager.php file and saw that there were no users. After I logged in, I now cannot get to either the manager.php or the login.php and continue to get an 500 internal server error. It appears to me that the webhost has blacklisted the files and I now need to figure out if anyone knows the .htaccess commands to whitelist them to see if this will fix it. Also, what permissions does the users.php file need to have?
I got the script working again. I am not 100% certain, but it appears that the absolute path actually changed. I do not know why that would be but when I ran the phpinfo it showed the absolute directory path to start with services2/ and when I just looked at it again, it says it starts with services/ and yet when I log into the manager.php it says to put services6/ in at the top of the file I am redirecting to. Is this the new cloud computing where the absolute path changes on a whim?

Are we ready to step up to the challenge?
It was encouraging to see the level of interest last week in the report ‘Improving the Transition’ produced by the Prime Minister’s chief science advisor Peter Gluckman last week.
The report challenged successive governments ad hoc approach to addressing serious issues for young people in our country. It was particularly critical about the lack of evidential base for government funded services, a lack of evaluation and monitoring and the failure to invest in the early years. Professor Gluckman also pointed out that solutions to serious problems are going to take many electoral cycles.
In 2001 the Ministry of Justice published a report that suggested early intervention was most effective but also least accurate in identifying where resources should be targeted. The report concluded that spending smaller amounts on more young parents and their children was ultimately a better investment than trying to address the expensive options available to reduce youth offending or locking up adults.
The last Labour-led governments put serious money to initiatives like Family Start focused on the families of pre-school children, support services for teenage parents and social workers in primary schools. The effectiveness of these initiatives seems to be mixed and the evaluations were rarely made public.
The current government has committed around $100million for new services for young offenders plus tens of millions more toward Whanau Ora and the Community Response Fund. The funding for youth offending was based on pre-election promises of boot camps that contradicted all the international and New Zealand literature suggesting those approaches either don’t have any significant effect or actually increase offending. Whanau Ora and the Community Response Fund are based on noble sentiments around devolving decision-making to the community level, though both are still too amorphous to determine at this stage whether they will contribute to the transformational changes necessary in our communities.
Massive cuts to youth health services, early childhood education and support services along with recently announced funding cuts and restructuring of family violence prevention services were not prefaced by any report on their effectiveness, rather election year political priorities seem to outweigh any evidential imperatives.
With the government using their level of borrowing to justify their inability to undertake any substantial new investments (other than more than ten billion on new Roads of National Significance), they should have a clearer commitment to evidence-based and cost-effective service provision.
I look forward to seeing the recommendations that the Office of the Prime Minister comes up with from Professor Gluckman’s report (which had 11 recommendations of its own). Hopefully the proposals are followed by an action plan to address not just woefully underfunded youth mental health services but the more systemic issues relating to the politicization of public policy development, local priority-setting and accountability and the overall quality of relationships between the range of stakeholders in social development.
The Gisborne Herald Editorial last week asked whether our country is prepared to step up to the challenges identified by Professor Gluckman. My response would be that I doubt the report will be enough to make much difference to the lack of courage we have seen to date. The most significant opportunity for alcohol law reform in a generation seems to have passed us by as the government adopted none of the most effective options promoted by the Law Commission and similarly the key proposals in a Law Commission report last month on the Review of Misuse of Drugs Act seemed to have no support from any of the political parties.
At a local level I’m encouraged by the increasing community commitment to positive child and youth development and in this we can hopefully lead the country.
Its good – especially the comments about lack of courage. I fear a further incursion of the evidence based paradigm. Puao Te Ata Tu and Matua Whangai were not evidence based and we need to do things not because of evidence but because of our passion and commintment.

Day 3 was by far the most difficult as you’re only limited to 1100 calories for the day. I knew it would be tough and I’ve read plenty of comments from people who couldn’t get through it without either cheating, or… well, giving up.
It was tough. I woke up on day 3 having had a good 9.5hrs sleep and about 30mins snooze time (would you believe it, I woke up naturally at 8am and freaked out and forced myself back to sleep-ish. I never wake up early).
I believe that affected my weigh-in (although to be fair, I wasn’t supposed to weigh myself until after all 3 days were complete). My morning routine was a bit messed up, I drank about 500ml water before weighing myself so it looked like I even gained 1lb back from the day before. I’m sure this wasn’t the case, however. If anything, it at least made me even more determined to see this final day through.
Day 2 (Sunday) was a little more challenging. I woke up later than I’d intended and only had a 2hr window to clean the house, have breakfast, lunch and rush off to Church. But that was my fault for being a lazy sod.
I have a backlog of photos that I need to share with you guys but I have something more pressing I need to write about. Today.
If you’ve been following my Facebook or Twitter, you probably saw this one coming. Over the weekend, I went on a diet.
The response I normally get when I tell this to my friends and colleagues is immediately “you don’t need to diet!” or even “what do you even have to lose?? If you lose weight you’ll disappear!”. I wish that were the case. Truthfully, I may not look extra large in my photos, but being ethnically Chinese we work to a different BMI scale than Europeans. Last time I checked, I was in the squeezing-into-healthy-but-bordering-overweight range.
To be fair, given what I normally eat… it probably isn’t surprising!
So also unsurprisingly, I wanted to slim down to a much healthier BMI for my height.
Exactly 2 weeks ago today, I turned 21 for the nth time. I kid you not, I seem to have flown to neverland at one point and got myself stuck there. I am literally twenteen. Some day I hope to grow up a little (mentally and physically please!) but that day is obviously yet to come.
But I digress. My birthday is one of those amazing-yet-annoying ones as it lands during the Easter hols.
On the bright side, this means I am usually free and so is everyone else. On the not-so-bright side, everyone else seem to have lives and friends and family to visit/return to, so nobody is around to celebrate with me. Ergo, my options are to either sit around on my lonesome watching property or comedy shows on TV, or go home and visit my family.
I sound like such a miserable old sod but to be honest, I really like chillaxing alone, ordering some take out and watching Location, Location, Location or How I Met Your Mother/The Big Bang Theory (apparently this is not normal?). I literally source L,L,L on 4OD and watch re-runs of every episode. You can tell I’m a hoot at parties.
I also love option #2, visiting the fam, which is exactly what I did.

I just finished my 4 days Inca Trail and despite the pain on my legs, the mind and the heart are full of amazing landscapes, adventurous experiences and nice people. Inca Trail Reservations allowed me to have a great exciting and safe experience making me feel like an explorer.
Ótima agência, ótimo condutor, muito bem organizado, sem comentários os carregadores. Apresentação da trilha, das flores, árvores, dos caminhos e dós condutores, formação de tdo. Comida muito boa, saborosa, café da manhã muito bom e jantares maravilhosos, super atenciosos, trabalho em grupo.
I traveled to Machu Picchu just by train, I arrived to the Inca city, and waited for the guide half an hour. Our guide explained a lot about the city and Inca culture. The scenery was amazing, lots of great views and pictures of the well preserved buildings, terraces, mountains, temples, rivers and Huayna Picchu.
And one more guys !
Wow, what an experience ! Lots of trekking, steep steps, tonnes of yummy food, cold nights and always "And one more, guys" snippet of info on Inca culture from our excellent guide, Americo.
Absolutely amazing experience :) Our tour guide, Lizandro, was so patient, informative and a super star from start to finish. The rain didn't ruin the experience one bit. We were prepared with ponchos but even if we didn't have them, Lizandro had spare for everyone.
This trip was very good. There were some problems in the country, but the company was able to handle it and my trip was not canceled. My tour guide was very friendly and he did not rush me. He was very smart. I would go with this group.
Beautiful tour. Worn out after doing many many stairs. Learned a lot from our guide and have a much better understanding of the culture. We were able to go at a comfortable pace and were not rushed. Fantastic view of the ruins. Had a great time with our group and were really able to enjoy each other company.
Great trek, tiring but a great time and such beautiful scenery. Fantastic guide too, Lizandro. He was very knowledgeable and gave us lots of information and history about the Incas and the surrounding agriculture.
I really enjoyed all aspects of this tour. The guides were great. They were professional and knowledgeable, as well as affable and engaging which helped make for a pleasant group atmosphere. The food was superb - it's actually a bit of a mystery how the chef whipped up such delectable meals considering the circumstances.
è stata una bellissima esperienza dura ma stupenda!volevo ringraziare le Nostre guide Carlos e Rony per le loro spiegazioni semplici e precise e per la loro disponibilita e simpatia a rispondere ad ogni nostra richiesta,ma soprattutto volevo ringraziare I portatori,chef e tutto lo staff Che ci ha accompagnato in quest'avventura!!il cibo e stato tutto buonissimo e molto variato stati.

Here on the Clopper’s Mill Dental Care blog, we’ve spent quite a bit of time talking about oral health in regards to the teeth, gums, and jaw. But we haven’t talked much about an important, yet oft-overlooked part of the mouth: the tongue.
The tongue provides so many different functions for the mouth, and its health is critical for your oral health and overall health. So what gives? How, exactly, is the tongue so important?
In this blog, the Gaithersburg dentists at Clopper’s Mill Dental Care will provide you with some fun facts on the tongue, and give you strategies for how to take care of your tongue for improved health benefits.
The average tongue is three inches long.
The length of the tongue is determined by the distance from the epiglottis to the tip of the tongue—and for most people, that distance is right around three inches. The longest tongue on the planet is that of American Nick Stoeberl, whose tongue is a whopping 3.97 inches in length!
Your tongue has eight muscles.
Many people incorrectly view the tongue as a single muscle. There are actually eight muscles that dictate the movements and function of the tongue, allowing it to move around the mouth and change shape.
Your tongue has thousands of taste buds.
The average tongue has anywhere from 2000 to 4000 taste buds, with some tongues possessing up to 10,000 taste buds! These folks are considered to be “supertasters” with a heightened sense of taste for bitter foods with the bitterness compound 6-n-propylthiouracil. On the other side of the equation, a quarter of the population cannot taste 6-n-propylthiouracil at all, and while they can taste normal foods, they’re considered “nontasters” on the taste bud spectrum.
Your tongue is very sensitive.
The tongue is incredibly sensitive for two reasons: so it can figure out the “mechanical characteristics” of food (which is how you identify chicken bones in your chicken or a pit in your cherry), and so it can search the mouth for pieces of food after you swallow (exactly how you get all that spinach out of your teeth). This extreme sensitivity also allows you to quickly move your tongue off that piping hot piece of pizza, and it makes for a terrible time when you accidentally chomp down on your tongue while scarfing down enchiladas.
Your tongue cleans your mouth and aids in digestion.
Your tongue is instrumental in the digestion process, transferring food from chewing to swallowing and using saliva to make things easier to process for your stomach. The tip of your tongue follows up after the swallowing motion, searching for food particles to scrape from between your teeth.
Tongues are a hotbed for bacteria.
No surprise here—tongues tend to harbor a ton of bacteria. On the mild end of the spectrum, a tongue that nests bacteria will almost certainly cause bad breath—and in more serious circumstances, a bacteria-ridden tongue leads to periodontal disease, tooth decay, and even jaw atrophy.
It’s important to not just to brush, floss, and use mouthwash, but to lightly brush or scrape your tongue to remove bacteria and debris. This will dramatically decrease the risk of developing oral health ailments, and will keep your smile bright and healthy for years to come!
Your tongue says a lot about your overall health.
Your tongue doesn’t just tell a story about your oral health—it tells a story about your overall health as well. For example, a bright red tongue is often a sign of scarlet fever or Kawasaki disease in children, a tongue with white spots could signal oral thrush (basically a yeast infection in your mouth), and a black, hairy tongue (yikes!) could be a sign of bacterial overgrowth in the mouth.
If you’re having problems with your tongue, it’s best to take a trip to your local dentist to make sure your oral health and overall health are in prime condition. That’s where Clopper’s Mill dental care can help. Routine checkups at Clopper’s Mill will ensure you have bright, healthy smile, strong supple gums, and a top-notch tongue to boot!

Full contact and specialty information available to journalists, guideline authors and (on a per request basis) regulatory agencies seeking industry independent experts.
How was The List started?
Jeanne Lenzer and Shannon Brownlee originally compiled The List by combining respected sources they had used over the years during their reporting after growing increasingly concerned about “news” reports that were thinly disguised marketing information promoted by industry and experts – including “academics” tied to industry. They decided to create The List as a resource for other journalists as well as agency officials who say they can’t find independent experts to serve on regulatory and guideline panels. Since then, Gary Schwitzer and Adriane Fugh-Berman have joined as List coordinators.
Do you vet the experts on The List for pro- or anti-industry positions?
No. Certain list members have opposing viewpoints on the medical management of certain conditions. The only vetting we do is to ensure that members have recognized expertise in certain areas, and we request financial disclosures regarding work, consultations, teaching, or investments in pharmaceutical and device companies. We also ask about money for expert legal testimony, or work for insurance companies. If they have any such ties over the past five years or are planning any ties they have an asterisk after their name.
Why do you have experts who do have some ties to industry on The List?
In light of the overwhelming pro-industry messaging evident in many media reports, we felt it was important to recognize certain individuals who had ties to industry but who “bit the hand that fed them.” These experts were previously listed as “Page 2” experts, and are now simply denoted by an asterisk after their last name and their disclosures are listed in Columns U and V.
Are The List coordinators available for interviews?
Jeanne Lenzer, medical investigative journalist, associate editor, The BMJ, and author, The Danger Within Us: America’s Untested, Unregulated Medical Device Industry and One Man’s Battle to Survive It.
Shannon Brownlee, M.S., former journalist and current Senior Vice President of the Lown Institute, and author of Overtreated: Why Too Much Medicine is Making Us Sicker and Poorer.
Adriane Fugh-Berman, M.D., Associate Professor in the Department of Pharmacology and Physiology and in the Department of Family Medicine at Georgetown University Medical Center and Director of PharmedOut.

Yesterday’s volunteer shift was kinda cool, for the most part. I was a mess all weekend, as far as staying on top of my meds/vitamins and getting, like, sleep. So I wasn’t sure how long I’d be able to stay, but I made it pretty much as long a shift as usual.
I feel like I physically did less, but I did spend a lot of time bonding with animals, so I figure that counts. For me, anyway!
I started my shift off in the skunk enclosure, of course. This time all but two were out at shows, but even though the most skittish were left, they were both at the door to greet me when I went in. They’re still skittish, naturally, but I feel like we all did really well together. I let them smell my hands this time, but managed to resist the urge to try and pet them. It’s not the right time for that just yet.
While I was in there, I got summoned back down to the main floor because Cricket, the baby kangaroo was being passed around so we could meet her! I cradled her in my arms and she licked me and we took a boatload of pictures and then she hopped around the shelter for a few minutes before we put her back in her pouch for a nap. She didn’t want to go in, at first, because she was super curious about all the new stuff she could check out, but within minutes she was asleep again. So super cute, guys!
I finished the skunk enclosure, and then took on the Small Animal Room. I took my time with everybody – except the sugar gliders, because they all sleep during the day – and made sure they were all comfy and fed and watered and spot cleaned. I snuggled one of the rats, and held one of the ferrets (Hamburglar) for the first time. I did a couple of extra good things when I noticed they needed to be done. I find the routine is getting easier (ie more of a routine) and our little team works really well together, so we’re getting things done pretty quickly now. Which is even more awesome because it gives us time to cuddle a baby kangaroo, or spend a few extra minutes letting skunks get to know us better, or talking to birds and watching Rapunzel ring her bell because she’s happy for the extra attention. Being more effective at the labour part gives us more time for the fun part, which is always a good thing. Everyone is getting more comfortable, I think, and for me, that makes me more determined to get in there each week. I’m still technically week to week, but I’ve been feeling a shift towards anticipating that I will be there next Sunday before I even leave from this Sunday’s shift.
Sensing that some of the animals are getting more familiar with me, and recognizing me more each week gives me hope that Hudson will be able to “know” me sooner or later, as well. I’ve only seen him twice so far, but I already have plans to see him this week, too, which would make it three weeks in a row. Even if I go back to every other week like when he was a wee cub, there’s still a good chance that I’ll be more familiar to him after a time, and that possibility makes me smile, too!
So…last night was so much more than I could have anticipated. I don’t know what I’d expected, really. Maybe nothing, which would be how I was caught so off-guard, perhaps. Regardless, it was different. Different from my life for a long, long time. I’m confused now, but in mostly a good way. And for the first time in ages, I’m excited to see what happens next, if anything. I’m excited to feel like I want there to be a next.
Then, after too little sleep, I got up too early and headed to the zoo to spend some time with my bear. I love that guy so much. And I love the friends who were with me all day, even though none of us planned to spend the whole day there. It’s so weird…I just can’t get enough of him, or of the whole thing. I couldn’t pull myself away.
And I saw baby Rey the zebra for the first time, and fell in love with her cute self, so I picked up a wee zebra stuffie to commemorate the occasion. Her name is also Rey, because why pretend she’s anyone else?
I got the news that Ron Glass has passed away once I got home. I guess it’s about balance. I had a good night and day, and had to have that balanced out by having my Browncoat heart broken at the same time.
Suffice it to say that, for me, it’s been an interesting 24 hours.

For measurement of sclerophylly indices include RWC and SUC, three leaf discs from each leaf (with 20 mm diameter) were cut and weighted to determine the fresh weight (FW). The leaves were subsequently saturated with distilled water for 24 h in the dark and re-weight to obtain a turgid weight (TW). Samples were weighed again to determine the dried weight (DW) after drying at 80°C for 48 h. To measure the succulence, the leaf area (LA) was calculated by using the leaf area meter device, Delta T-scan model (Bacelar et al., 2004). The following formulas were used for calculating RWC and succulence respectively (Cvikrová et al. 2013).
Yield water use efficiency (WUEET; kg/m3), was carried out using the water efficiency parameters (total fresh fruit yield/water amount consumed).
Total phenol concentration was assayed with Folin-Ciocalteu reagent following the colorimetric method (Chen et al., 2008). The calculations were based on a calibration curve obtained with Gallic acid and were expressed as mg of Gallic acid equivalent per g of fresh weight.

You may have heard of the scandal surrounding the Wildlife Photographer of the Year contest held by the Natural History Museum of London, in which the winning photographer was disqualified after experts ruled he had used a stuffed anteater in his winning photo. The story has gained so much traction that even Conan O'Brien picked it up for a few laughs.
What made the scandal so bizarre is that normally with things of this nature, the issue is Photoshopping, which can be detected by requiring winners submit raw files to verify the authenticity of images. However, in this case, there was no digital doctoring; rather, wildlife experts concluded that the winner had taken a taxidermied anteater from the entrance of the park he was shooting in and posed it for the photo. The scandal has caused quite a stir in the wildlife photography community, so much so that even late-night comedy host Conan O'Brien picked up on the story, providing a pretty funny monologue on it that you can watch above. For his part, Marcio Cabral, the photographer at the center of the controversy, maintains his innocence and has said he simply wishes to move on from the scandal, which he claims has destroyed his reputation.
Does Being an 'Award-Winning Photographer' Actually Carry Any Merit These Days?
If I were Cabral (and I was innocent of course), I would spend the rest of my life trying to prove my point and save my reputation. If I succeeded, of course, it would require a public and worldwide retraction of the contest's organizers. I would never simply "move on." It is not just the reputation that is at stake, but ethics and honesty, too.
what did the rules say ? if he followed them he's good, if not he's not. simple.

I just bought one of the LULA mag loaders at the PX. Holy sh*t this thing is fast. I can unload a 30 round mag in about 4 seconds and loads almost as fast. The design takes the load off of the top round and they just fall out or in. Best $20 I ever spent. Makes cleaning the loaded mags a breeze.
Edited cause I have fat fingers.
My only gripe with the LULA is that every couple of months I have to buy a new one. Not because it breaks mind you, but because one of my range buddies swipes it after they use it for the first time.
Yeah, ya need more than one.
You need to pick up the AR15.com LULA from Denny!

Dust Extraction Cover for GWS 18V-LI? Dust Extraction Cover for GWS 18V-LI?
Dust Extraction Cover for GWS 18V-LI?
It's clear as mud from Bosch regarding dust extraction covers for their cordless grinders to be honest. You could try the 1605510281 variant as this has a bolted/clamping collar unlike the 2 605 510 224 variant you were looking at.
Myself, I've been looking at the Herzo Universal Surface Grinding Dust Shroud ( HERE). Not only does it have a cam lock making it quick release but has a brush skirt and several bushings for a range of collar sizes. Might buy myself one as a crimbo present and do a review for the new year.
Got a Herzo Universal (cheaper on Amazon by the way) as I needed to crack on with the job. Its good, but for my particular grinder, the cam lock doesn't go quite tight enough. Not loose but not tight either so may have to mess around with some duct tape to pad it out a bit.
Would say it is a pretty solid item. Not cheap and flimsy plastic and the brush surround is quite thick, certainly denser than the Bosch. Now I just need to muck about with getting the hose connection tight. The rubber connecting bung is tapered at one end but not the other which is not ideal and it seems to be identical gauge to my Festool vac.
Was able to test it though. Reckon 80% reduction in the amount of dust using this. Not delighted but not unhappy either.

Stroke mortality rate is higher in rural Kansas than urban community counterparts. This created a need for a statewide system of stroke care. Herington Municipal Hospital recently jumped on board to become part of the solution.
(May 8, 2013) - Today the American Heart Association and the Kansas State Stroke Task Force announced nine additional Kansas hospitals (46 Kansas hospitals in total) that are Emergent Stroke Ready and able to adequately care for a stroke patient brought to their facility. Herington Municipal Hospital in Herington, Kan. was one of those hospitals that provided the necessary documentation to be named as Emergent Stroke Ready as part of the Kansas Initiative For Stroke Survival (KISS).
"Because stroke treatment must be initiated within a very short time frame it is crucial that medical facilities, regardless of size, be prepared to evaluate and treat these patients, and if necessary, transfer them to a larger facility," said Dr. Lechtenberg, neurologist and chairperson of the Kansas State Stroke Task Force. "In Kansas, we are calling that readiness, Emergent Stroke Ready. Without these facilities, treatment options are greatly reduced."
To date, there are currently 58 hospitals participating in the KISS in one of four categories: Emergent Stroke Ready (46), Primary Stroke Center (8), 24/7 Neuro-Interventional Center/Primary Stroke Center (3) or Comprehensive Stroke Center (1). Emergent Stroke Ready hospitals (ESRHs) can diagnose, treat, and transport acute stroke patients to a higher level of care as warranted. ESRHs must also annually attest to the Kansas State Stroke Task Force their continued compliance with designation criteria.
Led by a team of more than 50 medical professionals known as the Kansas State Stroke Task Force, KISS is a project BY Kansans, FOR Kansans. The task force, which began in 2004, was created to study and address the issue of stroke care in Kansas and develop a comprehensive system of stroke care. Since its inception it has been directly supported by the American Heart Association. After nine months - the percent of IV tPA treatment in Kansas has increased from 5.22 percent to 7.20 percent. In addition a larger number of Kansans are being transferred from Emergent Stroke Ready hospitals to higher level hospitals for additional stroke care.
There is still much more work to be done in subsequent phases to get the remaining 60 hospitals in Kansas to participate and increase stroke survival numbers in the state of Kansas.
According to the American Heart Association, the expected use of tPA (clot buster) as a stroke treatment is 10 - 15 percent. The use of tPA in Kansas is far below this. "Part of the reason for this low treatment rate is limited access to neurologists, stroke specialists or physicians that have more experience in recognition and treatment of stroke," said Dr. Lechtenberg. "ESRHs now have 24/7 telephone access to stroke physicians to aid in appropriate treatment and transfer of stroke patients. This helps hospitals that do not have this stroke expertise to be prepared to urgently treat a stroke."
In 2008 the task force studied a statewide stroke survey that revealed less than 25 percent of Kansans knew the signs and symptoms for a stroke and that calling 9-1-1 should be the first response to a stroke. During another survey administered to Kansas medical facilities in 2010, a staggering 43 percent of Kansas hospitals noted that they were not equipped or staffed to care for stroke patients. Additionally, less than 18 percent had tPA (clot buster) available.
"We know that this new system of stroke care will save more lives in Kansas," said Cherie Boxberger, director of quality and system improvement, American Heart Association. "Early results indicate Kansas is on the way to improved care for Acute Ischemic Stroke but we still need the remaining hospitals in Kansas to get involved. With 100 percent participation from medical facilities and EMS Services across the state, we can optimize treatment and save more lives!"
The American Heart Association encourages anyone living in and around Herington who appears to have the signs and symptoms of a stroke to immediately call 9-1-1 and request to be sent to Herington Municipal Hospital. Be sure to note when the stroke victim was last known to be well.
Stroke is treatable. If you recognize the warning signs, you can respond fast in a stroke emergency. By calling 9-1-1, you have a greater chance of survival and recovery. Remember the acronym F.A.S.T. to help you recognize symptoms and what to do.
"Stroke is a medical emergency and time lost is brain lost," said Dr. Lechtenberg. "Anyone showing signs of a stroke MUST be evaluated in a hospital within the stroke system of care as soon as possible." If given within three hours, a clot-busting drug called tPA can reduce long-term disability for the most common type of stroke.
Dr. Lechtenberg continued, "If you or someone you know is showing the signs of a stroke don’t go to bed and see if you are better in the morning, don’t wait to see if you feel better tomorrow, and most certainly don’t bypass your local Emergent Stroke Ready hospital."
Stroke is the fourth leading cause of death for all Kansans and is the leading cause of disability; that’s one in every 16 deaths. Fortunately as a nation, stroke mortality rates are decreasing, however Kansas has a higher rate of death due to stroke compared to the national average (46.5 versus 43.6 for the U.S. - mortality rate per 100,000). Additionally, stroke mortality is higher for African Americans in Kansas than their white counterparts and those living in rural communities also have a higher stroke mortality rate than those in urban or semi-urban Kansas communities.

Shortly after buying parts of Lehman Brothers in Europe and Asia Japanese bank Nomura has confirmed plans to make its remuneration package more competitive.
A spokesman at Nomura refused to confirm reports that investment bankers at Lehman Brothers will receive the same cash bonuses as they did last year on the condition they stayed working with the firm until 2009.
The news comes at a time when ‘fat cat’ bonuses in the City are under scrutiny from the Financial Services Authority and politicians.
Prime Minister Gordon Brown is currently in the United States calling for an international regulatory system, reform of the bonus structure and greater transparency on transactions.

Today’s Friday Favorite is A GUIDE FOR YOUNG LADIES ENTERING THE SERVICE OF THE FAIRIES, by Rosamund Hodge.
This is the lie they will use to break you: no one else has ever loved this way before.
I love stories about ordinary people. Chosen One narratives do nothing for me. The funny thing is that sometimes in real life I do still struggle with flashes of ambition. Of wanting to be–important. I have been told for all my life, by people as well as stories, that if you are not Important then you are nothing at all, that your life is a waste, you’re a waste.
That’s why I really, really, really love this piece. It emphasizes both that you are ordinary, and that you are still worthy simply because you are yourself, that you can still take on the universe (or fairyland) and win. You do not have to be better than the rest. You only have to exist, and persist.

The difference between skilled and lucky investment managers is that over extended periods, skill should prevail in delivering good investment outcomes, while luck can only persist for so long before it becomes undone. It is important to distinguish between the two and to focus on the right factors when choosing an investment manager. Vuyo Nogantshi discusses some important aspects to consider when making your decision.
Michael Mauboussin, a well-known contributor to the pool of literature on skill in investing, characterises investing as an activity that sits somewhere on the spectrum between pure skill (no luck) and pure luck (no skill). If you think about activities that require skill and those that require luck, a key aspect to focus on is intention.
If you can deliberately drive the outcome of the activity and repeat this, then more skill is involved. For example, consider chess, where it is considerably less likely that a grandmaster is luckily outdone over the course of a game.
Is past performance the only means to assess skill?
Past performance is a good means of assessing manager skill. This is especially the case when you measure performance over a longer period and over many investment cycles. Less weight should be put on short-term measures as this can be misleading. However, even longer-term performance has its pitfalls and as an investor, you must be cognisant of the perils that exist in basing conclusions solely on this factor. Performance can be distorted by things such as 1) appropriate benchmarks, 2) the opportunity to outperform, 3) how the investment is constrained, and 4) market factors.
A benchmark is a point of comparison. Investment managers set benchmarks to measure the performance of their funds. While benchmark selection is complex – and we cannot go into the detail in this piece – a benchmark should be appropriate to the nature and form of the investor’s objective.
For instance, while Everton F.C. is an English Premier League football team, it makes little sense to benchmark Real Madrid C.F. against Everton. However, if we did choose to go ahead and benchmark in this way, we would not be able to tell much from the result, other than to say that Real Madrid was able to beat Everton. In order to assess how good Real Madrid is, we would need to position an opponent that was representative of skill against Real Madrid and assess how consistent their performance was over time.
Similarly, for manager performance, if the benchmark set is not appropriate, it can appear as if a manager has skill, when in fact the true conclusion to be made is that the benchmark selection was poor.
Debate on active versus passive investing generally focuses on the concept of the zero-sum game (active investors in aggregate earn the same average return, before fees, as passive), but another important factor is whether the opportunity for active management to “work” exists.
One indicative lens used to assess the state of a market is “cross-sectional volatility”. This measure tests whether stocks in a market are moving together or diverging. For opportunities for outperformance to exist for an active manager, the market should be diverging (i.e. a higher cross-sectional volatility measure). This measure is a good tool (among others) to assess whether the environment structurally allows your active manager to add value.
Bear in mind that different markets present different opportunities for outperformance (alpha) and that this will impact the performance signature of investment managers in those markets. This is why it is important to assess performance over time.
How are different investment managers constrained?
Investors tend to see two sets of performance from two different portfolios and immediately draw conclusions about the superiority of one over the other. But beware of “comparing apples with pears” (or “grandmothers with toads”, as the Serbian saying goes). Without clear knowledge of what constrains each portfolio (e.g. offshore allowance, asset allocation limits, mandate limits), some conclusions may be questionable. Make sure that your comparisons are fair.
The history of South Africa’s stock markets is not complete without a discussion about the dominance of certain sectors and large shares over time. As Ruan Stander discusses, Naspers currently dominates the market, representing over 20% of the top 40 shares in issue, while previously, the conversation focused on the resources sector. Situations such as these can distort investment outcomes since managers could simply be winners or losers by holding or not holding a dominant share. When assessing performance, you need to ensure that performance was not the result of a single big bet.
What other factors point to a skilled manager?
It’s important to know and understand your manager and consider qualitative measures, such as the trusted Ps: philosophy, process and people. This will allow you a better sense of their intention and the subsequent outcome, which in turn will allow you to better judge skill over luck.
The philosophy is how an investment manager thinks about investments and how they invest. If you understand your manager’s philosophy, you should also be able to understand their decisions. But investment philosophies are only as good as their application. It is important to assess your manager’s behaviour relative to their philosophy through several market cycles.
Process is how the investment philosophy is implemented in client portfolios. A well-worded philosophy has very little value if it is not backed by a robust process that guarantees that positive outcomes can be repeated. A weak process is one indicator of the lack of skill involved.
Investment management is a business of people – the third P. Having the right people with the necessary experience is crucial for the implementation of the philosophy and process.
Lastly, remember that investment outcomes are the translation of your manager’s intentions into a balance of wins and losses. What you need is for those wins to outweigh the losses to deliver outperformance. Better understanding managers’ track records, processes, philosophies and people will give you a better sense of which managers are more dependent on skill and which are more dependent on luck.

Every juncture in Jon Kerstetter’s life has been marked by a crossing from one world into another: from civilian to doctor to soldier; between healing and waging war; and between compassion and hatred of the enemy. When an injury led to a stroke that ended his careers as a doctor and a soldier, he faced the most difficult crossing of all, a recovery that proved as shattering as war itself.
Crossings is a memoir of an improbable, powerfully drawn life, one that began in poverty on the Oneida Reservation in Wisconsin but grew by force of will to encompass a remarkable medical practice. Trained as an emergency physician, Kerstetter’s thirst for intensity led him to volunteer in war-torn Rwanda, Kosovo, and Bosnia, and to join the Army National Guard. His three tours in the Iraq War marked the height of the American struggle there. The story of his work in-theater, which involved everything from saving soldiers’ lives to organizing the joint U.S.-Iraqi forensics team tasked with identifying the bodies of Saddam Hussein’s sons, is a bracing, unprecedented evocation of a doctor’s life at war.
But war was only the start of Kerstetter’s struggle. The stroke he suffered upon returning from Iraq led to serious cognitive and physical disabilities. His years-long recovery, impeded by near-unbearable pain and complicated by PTSD, meant overcoming the perceived limits of his body and mind and reimagining his own capacity for renewal and change. It led him not only to writing as a vocation but to a deeper understanding of how healing means accepting a new identity, and how that acceptance must be fought for with as much tenacity as any battlefield victory.
Jon Kerstetter received his medical degree from the Mayo Medical School in Rochester, Minnesota, and his MFA degree from Ashland University in Ohio. He served as a combat physician and flight surgeon for the U.S. Army and completed three combat tours in Iraq. His writing has appeared in The Best American Essays, River Teeth, and other literary journals.

The Labor and Industries Division is comprised of 51 attorneys and 55 professional staff in Olympia and Seattle. There is someone handling L&I litigation at every Attorney General's Office location, but the Labor and Industries Division has primary responsibility for assigning cases and providing advice to the Department. The Labor and Industries Division represents and advises the Department of Labor and Industries regarding the state’s industrial insurance program, workers’ compensation benefits, questions about fair wages and prevailing wage requirements, workplace conditions and safe work environments, contractor and building issues, crime victim claims, and other issues for workers and employers. The division handles a wide variety of cases from entry level to highly complex matters, and has a robust appellate litigation program. The work touches all businesses and workers in Washington and is of central importance to the business economy of our state.
The work of the Labor and Industries (L&I) division tracks the missions of its client agency. This work includes litigation and client advice involving: workers’ compensation benefits for workers (e.g. wage replacement, medical care, vocational retraining, and permanent disability awards); questions about fair wages and workplace conditions; safe work environments; contractor and building issues; crime victim claims; and a myriad of issues for Washington workers and employers.
Working in the L&I division frequently involves fast-paced, high volume litigation with numerous expert and lay witnesses. On average, the division handles more than 500 disputed appeals on industrial insurance claims per month, and the cases present complex medical, vocational and legal issues. Approximately 35 percent of these appeals are resolved by paralegals through a mediation process. In fiscal year 2006, individual attorney caseloads represented $358 million in exposure to the state’s industrial insurance funds. Division attorneys also represent L&I in regulatory actions and provide client advice. Attorneys practice before the Board of Industrial Insurance Appeals and in the superior courts. There is also a significant volume of appellate work. The work is challenging and important to the welfare of the state.

Steam iron cleaner is a substance used to clean steam irons. Poisoning occurs when someone swallows steam iron cleaner.
This list does not include all steam iron cleaner products.
Below are symptoms of steam iron cleaner poisoning in different parts of the body.
If the person swallowed the cleaner, give them water or milk right away, unless a provider tells you not to. DO NOT give anything to drink if the person has symptoms that make it hard to swallow. These include vomiting, convulsions, or a decreased level of alertness.
Delayed injury may occur, including a hole forming in the throat, esophagus, or stomach. This can lead to severe bleeding and infection. Surgical procedures may be needed to correct these complications.
If the cleaner gets in the eye, ulcers may develop in the cornea, the clear part of the eye. This can cause blindness.

Canada has emerged as the second best immigrant-friendly nation in the world as per the News and World Report US, just behind Sweden. This means that Canada is the number one country outside the Europe for overseas immigrants to call it as a home.
News and World Report US has also compiled another list for best immigrant-friendly nations based on wider social and economic factors. In this overall ranking also Canada is the second best immigrant-friendly nation in the world. However, Sweden was ranked sixth in this overall ranking. This demonstrates the strength of Canada across wide-ranging factors for assessment, as quoted by the CIC News.
News and World Report US has taken into consideration diverse factors for the immigration ranking. These include the percentage of immigrants in a nation’s population and remittances made by these immigrants to their homes. UN ranking for integration policies in diverse nations was also one among the assessment factors.
Canada received high scores not just for its thriving economy but also for its assimilation policies for immigrants. Canada also secured the top place for assessment under education factors. Canadian students score more than the average of OECD Program for Overseas Student Assessment.

If you thought you had a rough week, hundreds of passengers who were hoping to fly out of Kansas City would like to correct you.
According to The Kansas City Star, Delta Flight 2195 was one of the many flights delayed or cancelled altogether due to a massive ice storm. While Southwest, American and United Airlines also faced inclement weather issues, the Delta flight caught the most heat.
According to reports, the flight was supposed to take off and head to California at around 6:30 a.m. It backed away from the gate several times, but never actually took off. Passenger Ann Ngo said the flight was officially cancelled around 6 p.m, and she called it her "worst day ever as a traveler."
“It was a sh*t show,” she said.
“Delta apologizes to those customers whose flights were disrupted as a result of yesterday’s weather,” said Delta spokeswoman Lisa Hellerstedt. “The significant amount of ice accumulation drove prolonged de-icing times, prompting some flights to return to the gate which in turn impacted wait times for arriving aircraft as Delta crews worked to clear departing aircraft of ice."
The removal of ice from the runway is reportedly the responsibility of the airlines, not the airport personnel. However, the workers attempted numerous times to make sure the flight would leave safely, despite not leaving at all.
