In Parts 1 and Part 2 of my February edition of my Investment Decisions, I share my decisions to add new stocks to my portfolio. In Part 3, I share with you the thought process that led me to buy shares in Baidu. As always for every investment I incorporate my 8 Questions framework that allows me to do a proper size up of the key elements of the business and their stock. You can also find my podcast on my analysis here (iTunes).
Baidu, Inc.is a Chinese language Internet search provider. The Company offers a Chinese language search platform on its Baidu.com Website that enables users to find information online, including Webpages, news, images, documents and multimedia files, through links provided on its Website. It’s essentially the Chinese version of Google. In addition to serving individual Internet search users, the Company provides a platform for businesses to reach customers. Its business consists of three segments: search services, transaction services and iQiyi. Search services are keyword-based marketing services targeted at and triggered by Internet users' search queries, which mainly include its pay-for-performance (P4P) services and other online marketing services. Its transaction services include Baidu Nuomi, Baidu Takeout Delivery, Baidu Maps, Baidu Connect, Baidu Wallet and others. iQiyi is an online video platform with a content library that includes licensed movies, television series, cartoons, variety shows and other programs. It’s the Chinese version of Netflix.
These segments are where the core of the company’s cash flow is generated, however the company is making a very strong and aggressive push into the Artificial Intelligence space. It has developed a suite of AI tools called Apollo with a focus on developing tools to enable self-driving cars. AI requires immense amounts of data and given Baidu’s search capabilities it can easily amass enough quality real-time data to complement AI development. It also has voice-recognition suite of tools called DuerOS, which is comparable to Amazon’s Alexa ecosystem. Baidu is pivoting the company to be a leader in AI technology not just in China but globally. AI has been highlighted by the Chinese government as an area they want the nation to be a global leader and are putting immense resources and setting a target of 2030 to get the country there. Baidu with government backing has the potential to position itself as a major player. The core search and streaming business is essentially bankrolling the AI effort.
Baidu serves the China market only and it’s main competitors are TenCent, Alibaba. Because Google and Netflix don’t operate in China, it has a very dominant presence on the Chinese internet. As it branches out into AI, its competitors will also come from the traditional auto manufacturers like Tesla and Blackberry as well as Google and Waymo which are also developing their own self-driving car technology.
Their core customer base is domestic. China. Baidu was crafted as a desktop search platform, however with mobile device much more prominent and available in China, the company was surpassed by upstarts like TenCent and Alibaba. The company has had to play a bit of catchup to get their mobile search platform and as such the stock has languished a bit in recent years. With this pivot to AI, the company hopes to expand its customer reach beyond China and become a more global player.
It adverstising models going more online and less on traditional outlets, combined with essentially a captive customer base thanks to China’s conscious effort to keep companies like Facebook and Google out of the country, Baidu has been able to achieve a very loyal and sticky customer base.
The company has been able to generate decent returns on invested capital that are greater than their cost of capital. Return on invested capital have been in a range of between 16 to 20 percent over the past few years compared to their cost of capital which has been in the 10.5 percent level. At the end, the companies I want to invest in, have to be creating tangible wealth and it appears Baidu is doing so.
The company’s financial position is pretty strong. From a liquidity perspective, Baidu has 2.5 times more current assets than current liabilities. Its debt/equity level comes in around 0.33 which is decent. The company has about 25 percent of its assets in intangible assets, so the quality of the firms capital is strong.
The company's financial position is pretty strong. Their current ratio is 2.5 meaning they have 2.5 times more current assets then current liabilities. This means they have more than enough short term liquidity to cover any day-to-day operational liabilities. In total they have about $16 billion in cash and about $5 billion in long-term debt. They have a manageable debt level at 0.33 Debt/Equity and finally the quality of their assets is reasonably with about 25 percent of their total assets classified as intangible. It's a company that is not going out of business any time soon.
Even though Baidu has a firm grasp on the search market, its tenuous as it can maintain it as long as the Chinese government allows it. One move that crosses them and they can take company down in a snap. It is probably a factor in the company trying to pivot to AI, to show support for the government and to stay in their good books. Their ability to build out their AI platforms will be driven by finding enough talent (which is very hard right now) as well ensuring a meaningful inflow of relevant data being captured by their search platform. If that well runs dry, there is a risk that their AI efforts will not pan out. The fact that they were late to the game in the mobile search is a bit of a precedent that there is a risk they could miss out on the next big pivot.
On a discounted cash flow basis, Baidu’s stock is fairly priced with intrinsic values coming in between $200 and $245. When I started to look at the stock it was trading at $250, but when the markets tanked early in February the stock fell a low as $214, so at the time it was trading at a discount. On a relative basis the stock is much cheaper than a comparable business like Google.
Baidu could be viewed as the cousin (albeit rich cousin) of Google. Baidu offers similar services as Google and their iQiy streaming has gotten so lucrative they may IPO it in the near future which would raise even more cash. That being said, if you are going to invest in Baidu, you have to base the decision on the future and the potential of Baidu becoming a major player in AI technology. They have a few things going for them that give it a good shot. First is strong Government support and backing. Second is their search platform is still dominant and as long as the Government gives them that captive user audience it will continue to be the best of breed company as long as they don’t upset the Government. The company is generating meaningful cash flow and Economic Profit. Their financial position is strong. When the stock fell to the $210-220 level during early February I thought it was a good time to open a small position and I decided to do so. If the market continued to track down, I would add more shares.

The results appeared in a Google information box screen-captured by Vice Media on Thursday. Google quickly removed the section on ideology.
Wikipedia’s publicly available change log shows that an anonymous user added the term “Nazism” to the entry for the California GOP on May 24. The change was reversed by another editor a week later. A second, similar change on Thursday afternoon was reverted a minute later.
The California GOP has formally repudiated U.S. Senate candidate Patrick Little, who has praised Adolf Hitler and advocated for limiting the representation of Jews in the government. While Little calls himself a Republican, the Republican Party says it has not endorsed any Senate candidates in California.
Federal law exempts internet companies from liability for user-posted material as long as they promptly remove offensive items once notified. The California GOP situation, however, underscores the risks that companies like Google face when they rely on user-generated sites like Wikipedia.

No matter how brave you are sometimes weather conditions keep you from conquering those trails. This is especially true as the mercury drops and turns our beloved Earth into something reminiscent of the Russian front. Luckily, there are plenty of ways to have fun with indoor biking.
Most gyms offer spin classes. These classes use a stationary bicycle, music, and instructors to guide a class through about a 1 hour workout. Spin classes are a source of indoor biking, and it gets you out of the house.
There are, however, a few downsides with spin classes to keep in mind. One issue is that a spin bike won’t fit the same as your own bike. To fix this, many riders will install their own saddle and pedals on a spin bike before each class. The other potential problem is that the classes are not tailored toward your personal goals. The classes are usually high tempo, high effort workouts that might not fit with your training plan. Some riders find they like the community of spin class but not the specific ride, so they opt in or out of certain portions of the wworkout.
Riding an indoor trainer has gotten much more popular for riders of all ability levels, and it’s the kind of indoor biking where you can use your own bike. A trainer is a device that holds your bicycle upright, creates resistance when pedaling, and simulates an outdoor ride while riding your bike indoors. Using an Indoor trainer, you can ride from the comfort of your own home, or in a group setting (most bike shops have trainer nights through the winter).
There is usually a leader when riding with a group, but if riding alone, you can still have fun. It’s best to start with a plan. If you intend to just get on the trainer and ride for 60 minutes while watching TV, I hate to break it to you, but that quickly gets boring. So how do you keep the ride fun? First, you cannot rely on terrain to supply stimulus so you must create your own intrigue. There are no hills, descents, turns, or beautiful vistas to keep you interested. But you can use your trainer to mimic the efforts of a great outdoor ride.
Follow that by slowing that cadence down over the next two minutes.
Followed that by one or two minutes of soft pedaling (hard effort for the climb, followed by no effort on the descent).
Repeat this type of interval in groups of three.
Then sprint all out (max effort) for fifteen to twenty seconds.
Follow each effort with some soft pedaling.
A ride like the one above takes one hour, keeps you moving, and only involves hard effort for ¼ of the ride. By switching up different intervals of effort and rest, indoor biking can be beneficial and very fun.
Time on the trainer can be very beneficial to your riding, but it can also be very hard on you if done improperly. When riding outdoor, you have natural portions of rest while coasting or descending, but on an indoor trainer you cannot coast. People tend to pedal at effort on a trainer throughout the entire ride and overdo it. A good rule of thumb is to balance high effort with rest at a three to one ratio. If a ride calls for 10 total minutes at 80% effort, be sure to include 30 total minutes of low effort work.
How do you keep the ride interesting without effort? Try including drills like one leg drills, high cadence drills, spin up drills, top only drills, and toe touch drills. These require very little effort but build new skills.
One leg drills – Like they sound, these drills are done with one leg (see above). Clip your right leg out of your pedal, hang it away from the bike, and pedal with only your left leg. Try to get the pedal stroke to be as smooth as possible, without any noise or bumps.
Spin-up drill – With your bike in an easy gear, try to spin the pedals as quickly as possible. Keep increasing your cadence until your upper body begins to bounce, then taper back to a normal speed. Repeat, each time trying to get faster while keeping your upper body still (this whole drill takes about 30 seconds per spin-up).
High-cadence drill – With your bike in an easy gear, spin at the fastest cadence you can without your upper body bouncing. Hold that cadence for one or two minutes.
Top only drills – Try to pedal using light effort and attempt to keep the top of your foot in contact with the top of your shoe throughout the pedal rotation. You won’t actually be pressing down on the pedal during this drill, but instead pulling up.
Toe touch drills – While pedaling, attempt to touch your toe to the front of your shoe at the top of each pedal stroke. While this isn’t possible, it will help teach your body to begin the pedal stroke earlier in its rotation.
With a little research and a little experimentation, indoor biking can keep you satisfied while you wait for the weather to get better.

Introducing the Danish-made Leikr GPS Sport Watch, a multi-sport GPS watch designed for running, cycling and endurance sports. The watch has features that you would expect in any normal GPS sport watch including measuring speed, distance, heart rate (with the appropriate heart monitor), calories burned and pace to name a few. What makes this watch stand out for me, however, is their integration with color maps from OpenStreetMaps and the large 2 inch screen which features several levels of zoom and shows you an actual map view of the streets around you.
The watch has the ability to connect with the MapMyFitness family, Endomondo and Strava, with more integration planned in the future. It is lightweight and has WiFi connectivity to upload stats without cords or cables. The unit has a high-performance GPS for quick locks and 8GB of storage for maps. It does not stream OpenStreetMaps, but you can save quite a few maps to the watch, and the tiles are pretty good size.
First is battery life. The unit has an expected battery life of 4 to 5 hours–which is more than enough for a short run, but wouldn’t be appropriate for a long ride or a hike without some sort of on-the-go charger. The battery cannot be changed out, and while you candisable vibrations to extend the battery a slight bit, it overall isn’t going to change the battery life much. The watch doesn’t use a traditional charger but rather has a cradle-style hookup so a special cord and charger are required. Of course, that might not be a big deal if you don’t do really long runs. The watch doesn’t have any time-telling face, so it isn’t the sort of thing you would wear as an everyday watch anyway.
The second negative–which, oddly enough, Leikr totes as a positive–is frequent firmware updates. The positive side to this is that, theoretically, the device is always improving and adding new features. However, the reality is that some of the updates seem to be a little buggy and cause some problems with the watch functions. There is a forum on their site where the makers have direct involvement, so I expect getting solutions would be easier than with, say, Garmin. But that would be purely personal preference.
The device is for sale on Amazon as well as from other stores on Leikr’s website and retails at around $350. If you aren’t a fan of the big corporations, then the kickstarter-funded Leikr might be a good way to go.

Our very own VDGW will soon reach the lofty heights of “Traffic Cops,” you can bet on that, and it will soon even challenge “Can’t Pay, Take It Away,” as The Nations Favourite.
Back to the story and a Yorkshire van driver who was BANNED from driving decided it was ok for him to get behind the wheel.
He didn’t care that his license had been ripped up and didn’t care that he didn’t have any van insurance.
It was his cousin’s van to be exact, although his cousin had broke his toe which meant he couldn’t drive.
“Get behind the wheel for me, cuz?” might have been the words spoken between the pair.
So the cousin did what a good cuz would do and got behind the wheel of the white van.
No license and no insurance…was this man dangerous? Did he go on a rampage worthy of VDGW?
In fact, reports suggest he was a very careful driver who moved through the gears smoothly, stuck to the speed limit, and drove with hands at 10 and 2.
Some onlookers even suggested he waved at old women while driving and slammed his breaks on to allow a kitten to cross the road.
Those “Traffic Cops” were soon right up his rear van door and flashing their blue lights.
“I’m going to pull this guy off the road,” said one Traffic Cop in a thick Yorkshire accent.
“Yeah, pull him off,” said his partner.
Long story short. This disqualified van driver found himself in court on charges of driving while disqualified and driving with no insurance.
“I’m Guilty,” he said in front of a shocked jury.
“I’m sending you to prison then,” replied the judge as the trusty hammer was slammed down.
“I’ve already got my bag packed,” replied the van driver.
If you don’t have van insurance then you could go to prison.
The Police are becoming tougher on van drivers without insurance. It doesn’t matter if you are a safe driver or a nice guy…if you don’t have insurance then you could end up in the slammer.
So make sure you get insured today by filling in our 3 minute form. You have the power to compare over 40 companies and brokers, and will be amazed at the very cheap van insurance prices.

Hiring a gas plumber Adelaide can seem like a very easy thing to do. In fact, some homeowners may get the idea that they do not need one and they can do the job themselves as the internet can always help inform them on what to do. However, this method may cost you a lot more that it would have if you had hired a professional gas plumber Adelaide. Experience is what you will need when things are not going right.
A gas plumber Adelaide can save you time and money with the experience they have.
A professional gas plumber Adelaide can help you because they have the training, certification and most importantly the experience to see to it that your work is done to perfection. Their experience has allowed them to detect problems in your gas pipes. Gas can be dangerous to home- owners especially in the event of leakages. A professional, licensed gas plumber Adelaide can make the right installations, repairs and upgrades that will make your system last longer and have minimal issues. This gives you the peace of mind of knowing you and your family are safe.
One advantage of hiring a gas plumber Adelaide is the fact that you will have the advantage of warranties. You can void appliance warranties like those of a hot water system if not installed by a Qualified gas plumber Adelaide. Most manufacturers may not state it on the warranty papers they give you, however, when your appliances fail and you state that you hired an unlicensed gas plumber Adelaide, they will not fix or replace the item for you. You will have to incur the cost of having the item fixed yourself or buy another one, which could be costly.
There are building codes that must be complied with when making repairs or installing gas appliances. An experienced gas plumber Adelaide is familiar with the building codes in Adelaide and Australia. Doing the fixing yourself or hiring an unqualified person to do the job for you risks getting fines and penalties if something goes wrong. This can be expensive. Filing an insurance claim may also be rejected because you had gas plumbing done unprofessionally and they will therefore not assist you.
Hiring a professional gas plumber Adelaide ensures that you will get the best services and advice. Because gas leakages and other problems can be fatal, it is important that you hire someone who knows what they are doing and who will get their job done perfectly. There are many things that could go wrong if you hire a person who has no idea how to do the job well. It can also cost you a lot of money in the form of building damages that could occur. A professional gas plumber Adelaide will do the job correctly and ensure you have the peace of mind knowing your work was done perfectly.

The “West Side”, located on the peninsula North of Highway 17 and below Hampton Park is walking distance to The Citadel, MUSC, and Upper King Street. This neighborhood is popular with first time home buyers looking for affordable square footage and proximity to work and play. Home values that offer room for growth are a motivator to buyers looking to get their hands dirty revitalizing this area.

I have been in contact with Gary Poteat of the Blueberry Patch in the last few days and he has informed me that next year (2015) he will not be operating the Blueberry Patch Hostel. I believe they are only taking a year or so off in order to rest and take it easy. Gary said that this year (2014) even with the new hostel (Top of Georgia), that he has a record number of hikers stay at his hostel. If you have ever had the pleasure of meeting Gary then you know he is a genuinely nice man, but I believe at his age he and his wife could use a break from the chaotic hiker season. He told me that I am the first to know (he has yet to inform AWOL), so please don't inundate him with requests to stay open.
I met Gary and his son Shane in 1991 as they completed their northbound thru hikes, and we have maintained close contact throughout my thru hike this year. IF he does decide to reopen in the future, I HIGHLY suggest you stay...best breakfast on the trail.
You met them when you were 6!?
I was so looking forward to staying with them. Dang 2014ers had to have good weather and overwhelm the old folks with there numbers! Way to go, guys!
I regret not staying there in 08. A few people told me about their experience there. I stayed at Cloud 9(?) instead. It was a dump.
Snacktime and I stayed with Gary and Lennie last spring on our school trip. They are wonderful people, and we left feeling like we'd truly made some friends there.
yeah..some strange maths going on in here.
Yes, I met them when I was 6. My grandparents were trail angels in CT and their family friend (Lightning Rod) was thru hiking in 1991. They did trail magic for Lightning Rod somewhere in CT and Gary and Shane Poteat just happened to be hiking with Lightning Rod at the time. I have a photo of Gary taking a picture of me (when I was 6) during the trail magic on the first entry of my trailjournal (see link in signature block below). And when I stopped in at the Blueberry Patch, Gary and Shane brought their photo albums from their thru hike to share with me. He said it was the first time that he ever shared his thru hike photos with hikers, and there were photos of me, my sister and my mother in his thru hike album. I also took photos of those pics, and they are on my trailjournal as well. It's a small world, and it definitely came full circle with me and the Poteats. I plan on visiting them within the next few years, not as a hiker, but as a friend. Read the first entry of my trail journal and you'll get the full story of how I met the Poteats.
The closing of the Blueberry Patch Hostal will be a great loss for the AT community. Happy trails to Gary Poteat and his family. I'll always remember my great stop there in 2000.
Prepare to be overrun in 2015, Bob. You are on my list!
There was nothing in your earlier post that requires an apology.

A massive transfer of some of the temple districts to new provinces is officially underway and the announcement of new temple district assignments will be announced at the Reunion event in July. The reason for this is to make sure that the provinces can be governed centrally and that the chancel as a whole runs smoothly.
The quaternary continuum has changed, with a few members moving up to the tertiary and the secondary continuum. The tertiary continuum has changed, with members moving up to the secondary and down to the quaternary. The secondary continuum has been voted on and approved with three new members. The primary and continuing continuums posted no additions, corrections, or deletions. The masculine continuum has been approved to be filled with influential male members that influence the development of the philosophy of Epochalism.
The website is likely to be largely complete by the end of the summer. The classes and some of the individual pages will take many years to complete, but will be constantly updated. This is to ensure that more and better information is given and less time is devoted to blog posts that have little meaning.
Stakes will now get an average of 10% of all tithing from the individual membership. This is so that more resources can be devoted to the temple, province, and worldwide level. At the same time, many of the systems and resources will be more central to comply with the needs of the higher levels. At the same time, more support will be given to the stakes for a variety of projects and marketing campaigns. Stakes are also given freedom to fundraise for special projects that will not be subject to the general tithing fund. However, these will be subject to the approval at the temple level.
There are two sides to all of us. Masculine and feminine are not about the sexes, but they are about the mindset. A well rounded individual will have elements of masculinity and femininity. The masculine has long been neglected, but it is something that needs to be looked at. We are spiritual creatures and that is what appeals to the feminine. But we are also animalistic and that is what we need to be able to focus on.
The angels bring with them a diverse theology that is worth looking at. The angels themselves are a theological undertaking that is also worth looking at. Over the next couple of months, the angels will be seen as more than just people, but they will also be looked at as guardians, as protectors, and as examples to the philosophy that all people are to heed and to follow.
The angels, throughout history, have been the major support of the life and the ministry of the prophets and they continue to be so today. The angels do not need to be close physically, but they left something to the prophets that will contribute to the continued development of the nature of the philosophy. A greater understanding was left behind along with more questions.
Events for the year 2018 and beyond are likely to held internationally as well as domestically. The events will be sponsored by provinces and will be held in the territories of these provinces. Sponsors and locations will be held as the temple districts are set in stone.
The angels are very much supportive of the teachings of the Christs. They exemplify the teachings through who they are to the prophets. The angels contribute to the advancement of the philosophy that has been brought about by the prophets and the leaders of the religions of the world. We must not discount the importance of the angels in our lives.

Reib further explained that The Day of the Dead, or Dia de los Muertos, happens to fall on the day after Halloween (All Saint’s Day), and it is a celebration of life and death. Unlike American culture, where often people fear death, Mexicans honor it, especially on this occasion, washing the bones of their ancestors, cleaning headstones in cemeteries and celebrating it in a fiesta of life. Posada called this “Poking fun at life and death,” since he believed death was just as important as life and should be embraced. Reib’s students created watercolor paintings of skulls to represent this concept. Their pictures were inspired by skull molds, which are used as decorations for the Day of the Dead. Eileen Reib showed pictures of these skull molds to the students to inspire this artwork. Skull molds are traditionally made by combining sugar and water to make a wet sand mixture, which is then pushed into the skull mold. After making the molds, students decorated them with icing, sequins, feathers and glitter.
Reib’s students also created Retablos, which are traditionally used as hand-held religious altars. As a final way of depicting how Posada pokes fun at life and death, students created skeletons (calacas) performing everyday activities.
Located in Chemung County, Community Arts of Elmira partnered with The Arts Council of the Southern Finger Lakes (The ARTS) with the National Youth Art Month exhibit. The Arts Council serves and advocates for four New York counties (Schuyler, Steuben, Chemung and Tioga), and this is the eleventh annual year The Arts Council has administered National Youth Art Month across the four counties, installing student artwork in over fifty community venues for display throughout the month of March. Exhibiting venues include local grocery stores, cafés, restaurants and other nontraditional places community members wouldn’t expect to see artwork, as well as arts and cultural partners, such as Community Arts of Elmira. We thank Tamar Samuel-Siegel, The ARTS Programs and Outreach Manager, for her installation work on this exhibition.
In complement to the elementary student work in National Youth Art Month, The Arts: At First Sight illuminates the Community Room Gallery with Finn Academy Charter School second grade scholars’ artwork. The exhibition is based on extensive research on the snowy owl and its migration patterns. Arts Educator Brandi Moffe instructed students to draw a snowy owl, and during the process of revision, students improved the rendering of feathers and eyes, and incorporated shading and reflections into their drawings. In their showcase of artistic expression, Finn Kindergarten scholars created red poppies in chalk pastel to honor American veterans, creating and practicing with color palettes until each selected just the right hues for shading their poppies. Prior to their installation at Community Arts of Elmira, Educator Moffe exhibited them at Finn and invited local veterans to view the students’ work.
In a third process project display, Moffe presents Finn Academy’s second grade scholars’ color wheel studies. By mixing food coloring and shaving cream, students observed an array of colors meld together, learning how colors combine to create new shades. Following this exercise, students participated in an “I notice, I wonder” activity, where they shared what each witnessed about the changing colors.
To complete the exhibition, Moffe showcased digitized images of Finn scholars engaging in music and dance studies. Students learned movements that emphasize physical activity. These images depict students experimenting with such moves. Moffe, Dance Educator Jaymie Snoddy and Music Educator Danielle Murray share a similar educational philosophy. Murray explained, “Music is a foundation of the culture of Finn Academy.” Together the educators work with the scholars to illustrate that physical activity, music and visual art exist within and beyond Finn, in their everyday lives. For example, each Friday afternoon Finn Academy hosts a “Community Circle” where all visitors are welcome, and audiences are immersed in music played by student scholar musicians.
Storybook Floor Cloths filled the Pryzgoda Gallery highlighting artistic collaboration by students from Beecher, Diven, Fassett and Hendy, led by School District Art Educator-in-Residence JoAnn Smith, a retired art educator who is still active among local student art projects. Smith explained that all the ideas on the floor cloths originated from the students’ core curriculum, from the second graders who focused on Tall Tales or Fairy Tales, such as Paul Bunyan and John Henry, to the sixth graders whose floor cloths rendered stories from Greek mythology. Joanne used graphing paper to translate the sketch onto the cloth, and then, using painter’s tape in order for colors to stay in between the lines, the students each got a chance to color their grade’s cloth. Students completed one of the cloths in only three weeks! Once painted, students sealed Greek Mythology with Marine Sealer, so it is “walkable.” The remaining cloths are meant for display, because they are not sealed. Finally, a marvelous anecdote about this project is that students who painted cloths as second graders in 2011 worked with JoAnn again as sixth graders!
A special feature of the evening’s reception underscored the continuous study of art for the elementary student: The Elmira College Student Artist Pop-up Gallery Inspiring Artists. Curator Gabrielle Higgins, Community Arts Elmira College Community Service Student, developed the concept for the pop-up’s theme: aspiration. Exhibiting college students’ work inspired elementary students to continue their art study through college and beyond. Campbell Grade, the president of Elmira College Art Club, was among the college students whose artwork was displayed. Nick Vanderwood, a first-year student at Elmira College, was the musical talent for the evening, playing guitar and singing popular hip hop songs. The Inspiring Artists exhibit was a collaborative endeavor with Elmira College Arts Alive program, featuring students in demonstration of their creative life. Elmira College Media Artist Jan Kather is exceptional in her promotion of student art activities. We thank Jan and all members of the Elmira College Creative Arts faculty for their support of this community connection.
Last, but certainly not least, during the artist reception, Community Arts launched this very blog, ArtWays, whose concept and voice I hope to develop profiling the unique artistic, education, community art experiences in the area, connecting real and virtual audiences in support of the arts and arts education.
Currently featured in the Community Arts galleries are Thoughts and Image by Sharon DeHaas, The Przygoda Gallery and Students and Teachers, Selected Work, The Community Room Gallery, through May 21, 2016, Fridays/Saturdays 11am – 1pm, free and open to the public.

I was in Chicago and riding in a taxicab that got hit by another driver from Chicago. I spent four days in the hospital in Chicago and have been continuing to see a doctor in Tennessee. What rights do I have? Do I have to go to Chicago to hold the people who hit me responsible?
People in other states have to follow the same basic rules as drivers in Tennessee, and they are responsible for the harm they cause if they are negligent in the operation of their vehicle.
We have helped Tennesseans who have been hurt in other states (and Canada) and could not sue the person who harmed them in Tennessee. In these cases, we investigate the facts and the law and work to resolve the case without filing suit. If the case cannot be settled for a fair amount, we work with a lawyer from the city and state (or country) to file suit and proceed with the case. We share the fee we would otherwise charge with this lawyer and the total fee is the same as if we were able to file the case in Tennessee. We have relationships with lawyers around the country who can work with us in these cases.

For a study published this month (November 1) in the Journal of Experimental Biology, the researchers brought some turtles—commonly available at food markets in China and southeast Asia—into the lab. First they measured urea coming from the rear end, and then levels of the compound found in the water into which turtles had plunged their heads. They found that just 6 percent of the urea the turtles produced was excreted as urine from their kidneys and out of the cloaca, the single orifice used for waste matter and reproduction; the rest was expelled through the mouth, where it mixes with salt water to become a urine-like liquid.
It turns out that the velvety parts of the turtles’ mouths—thought to act like gills to allow them to stay underwater for long periods—are covered with proteins that flush urea out of cells. The authors suggest that the method may have evolved so the turtles could avoid dehydration as a result of losing liquids through conventional urination. It also means they don’t have to replace lost fluids by drinking salty water, which would result in a toxic build up. Instead, they just gurgle some and spit.
Best known as the apex predator and most ferocious carnivore of the Jurassic era, Tyrannosaurus may have been more deliberate with its prey than previously realized. According to research presented last month (October 20) at the annual meeting of the Society for Vertebrate Palaeontology in Raleigh, North Carolina, when it came to feeding on Triceratops, T. rex probably pulled its prey’s armored head from its body to get at the tender neck meat—and may even have nibbled at the delicate muscles around the face.
Taking a closer look at a collection of bite-scarred Triceratops skulls, palaeontologists at the Museum of the Rockies in Bozeman, Montana, noticed extensive puncture and pull marks on the neck and frills of some specimens. That was surprising, because these parts are made of bone and keratin—not the most appetizing or nutritious. But then they realized that the marks may not indicate what T. rex was eating, but how it was carefully manipulating its prey to get at the neck muscles.
“It’s gruesome, but the easiest way to do this was to pull the head off,” explains Denver Fowler, lead author of the study, told Nature. The team also found delicate-looking bite marks along the front of several Triceratops skulls, leading them to suggest that they could be evidence of gentle chewing on the meat found on the face.
Archer fish (Toxotes jaculatrix) spit out jets of water to knock their prey from branches above the waterline of their mangrove and estuarine habitats. But how these 6-cm-long tiddlers generate enough power enough to dislodge insects and spiders has been a mystery.
In a report published last month (October 24) in PLOS ONE, scientists uncovered the archer fish’s secret. Working in an aquarium, researchers at the University of Milan used a high-speed camera to film two archer fish spouting water at targets placed 15 cm above the waterline. Analyzing the water jets in slow motion, they noticed that the velocity increased as the fish continued to expel water. This back-end power forces more water towards the front of the jet, increasing the power delivered on impact.
It sounds like an angry toddler playing a kazoo in the bath, but marine biologists say the vocalizations of a captive beluga whale called NOC may have been spontaneous attempts to mimic human speech—something not properly recorded before in whales.
The story began in May 1984 when a diver at the National Marine Mammal Foundation (NMMF) in San Diego, California, thought he’d heard NOC tell him to “get out of the water.” Recording the whale, NMMF researchers found that his vocals outbursts lasted for around 3 seconds with pauses of less than half a second, a similar rhythm to human speech. His calls were also several octaves lower than normal whale calls, and similar to the frequency range used in human speech.
Captivated by this ability, the researchers trained NOC to make the speech-like sounds on command, and fitted him with instruments to record air pressure in his naval cavity, where the sounds are produced. They discovered that he had to over-inflate his vestibular sacs, which usually act keep water out of the lungs, to hit the low notes. Their results, published last month (October 22) in Current Biology, are the first hint that whales might spontaneously mimic human speech. “The sounds we heard were clearly an example of vocal learning by the white whale,” Sam Ridgeway, lead author on the study, told BBC News.
Ridgway originally presented his findings at a conference in the 1980s, he told Not Exactly Rocket Science, but the pressure to report funded work meant the research got sidelined until recently, when colleagues urged him to publish.
Everyone knows that honeybees can deliver a painful sting when threatened, but the fluffy pollinators can also inflict a nasty bite on enemies too small to target with a stinger. Using their tiny mandibles, the bees inject an anaesthetic, called 2-Heptanone (2-H), that immediately paralyzes pests, making it easier for the bees to eject them from the colony, according to a study out last month (October 16) in PLOS ONE.
Researchers had previously thought 2-H was used as an alarm pheromone. But by comparing the effects of 2-H and lidocaine—a local anaesthetic used on humans—on the two hive pests, a team in Greece has now demonstrated that the chemical acts as an anaesthetic that stuns the invaders for two minutes but does no lasting damage.
“It is amazing that this second line of honeybee defense has gone undetected for so long,” Alexandros Papachristoforou, a biologist at the University of Thessaloniki in Greece and lead author of the study, told The Daily Telegraph. And because 2-H exhibits only minor neurotoxicity, the researchers say it could potentially be developed into a new local anaesthetic for use in human and veterinary medicine.

If you’ve never tried cooking with coffee, or have confined your culinary coffee adventures to sweet coffee recipes, this bacon-glazed coffee recipe will be a real eye-opener. The salty bacon, smoky coffee and sweet richness of maple syrup combine to create a flavor that’s impossible to describe and even more impossible to forget. If you, like Ted Allen, believe that everything is better with bacon, this coffee recipe is an absolute must-try.
If you’re among the unconvinced who believe that bacon goes on BLTs and beside your eggs, this coffee-glazed maple bacon will make a believer out of you. One word of caution, though — the salty-sweet coffee-bacon goodness comes with a hefty price tag in the way of calories. Between the brown sugar, the maple syrup and the bacon, you’ll be loading up, but the flavor is so worth the extra workout to burn it off!
incredibly delicious salty-sweet treat that’s hard to beat.
Assemble your ingredients. Choose a coffee that has full, rich, smoky flavor, like an Ethiopian Yrgacheffe. Darker roasts also give a smokier flavor to the bacon than light roasts. You can brew the coffee in an auto drip pot, but make it extra strong, or brew it up in a moka pot or as espresso to bring out the subtle nuances of flavors.
Pour the hot coffee over the brown sugar in a 1 qt. heavy saucepan and let it soak in. Don’t bother stirring or trying to dissolve the sugar yet. It will look like it can’t possibly be enough coffee for that amount of sugar, but that will change when you start heating the coffee mixture up.
Add 2 tbsp of maple syrup to the coffee and brown sugar in the saucepan. You can see how much the sugar has already dissolved into the hot coffee without even stirring or heating.
Place the saucepan over a medium flame and heat without stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved and the coffee mixture comes to a full rolling boil. I tried to capture a good picture so that you could see what a full boiling syrup looks like. If you peer through the rising steam, you can see the frothy, light brown bubbles. Allow the coffee syrup to boil for about three minutes, then remove it from the heat and wait until the froth subsides before continuing.
While the coffee syrup is cooling slightly, heat your frying pan until a drop of water skitters around the pan. Or, you can do as I did and use an electric frying pan that allows you to set the temperature to 400 F. A hot pan is essential to caramelizing the coffee syrup quickly so that it doesn’t just drip off your bacon when you fry it.
Lay out a baking rack over absorbent paper towels or cardboard. You’ll be placing the bacon on the rack to drain. Trust me on this. If you try to drain the bacon on paper towels, the syrup will harden and stick to the paper and you’ll end up picking lint off your coffee glazed bacon strips. It’s not fun, or tasty!
Dip each slice of bacon into the coffee syrup and swirl it around with a fork to coat it well. Work carefully! The syrup is still very hot!
Carefully lay out the bacon strips in the hot frying pan and let them cook undisturbed for about 4 minutes, or until the coffee syrup caramelizes on the bottom side. Turn them over and continue frying them, turning them as needed until they reach your desired level of crispiness.
Remove each strip of bacon when it is crisp and browned. Hold it over the frying pan to allow excess bacon grease to drip off, then lay it out on the baking rack so that the remaining excess grease can drip off onto the toweling underneath. If you look carefully, you’ll see that I originally was laying the bacon to drain directly on paper toweling. Now you know why I added in the instruction to set up your draining rack separately for the coffee-glazed bacon. I know from experience what happens when you drain candy-coated bacon on paper towels. It’s not pretty!
Let the bacon cool — if you can wait that long. Coffee-maple glazed bacon is like eating bacon candy out of hand. I meant to save a few pieces to make bacon-topped cupcakes, but when I went back after it a couple of hours later, there was nothing but crumbs left on the rack! It really is that good. If you can resist the temptation, though, let the coffee-glazed bacon cool completely and crumble to use in bacon-topped cupcakes, like this yummy bacon cupcake recipe from the Little Miss Cupcake Blog.

Aimed at kick-starting the infusion in fintech start-ups, State Bank of India (SBI), is mulling modifying its rules for investing in the sector, said Rajnish Kumar, SBI Chairman an event in the capital.
According to Kumar, the country’s largest lender which has earmarked Rs 50 crore to invest in fintech start-ups, will be modifying its rules in order to plough-in the money.
“We want to spend the money which we have earmarked. We are a public institution and investments in start-ups are generally considered very risky. We understand that traditional way of investing will not work,” Kumar said, adding that the largest Public lender, till now, joining the Start up bandwagon, has been able to make progress on two other aspects of the fintech engagements, including procuring goods from such startups and also playing an active role with the ecosystem through collaborations.
Kumar said the bank which has 430 million customers, has so far worked with over 150 startups on various cutting-edge technologies including chatbot, data analytics etc, is further planning to invest Rs 25 crore to launch a collaborative innovation centre in the satellite city of Navi Mumbai to promote latest futuristic technologies.

Over the years much of the management style in the NHS has had its origins in the aviation industry; from dynamic risk management to ‘the human factor’ lots of what we do can trace its ancestors back to the aviation industry. That is no bad thing, they have provided some great starting points for NHS leadership over the years but there is one I think we miss. For me this one is the most important.
During Mental Health Awareness week one of the clear focus’ is stress and I can’t emphasise enough the currency of this issue. Resources are so stretched that we find ourselves managing risk more than distress on a daily basis and when fire fighting so often the raised cortisol levels leave those on the front line feeling anxious about what they perceive ‘their failings’ as a clinician. I used to refuse to use the line ‘front line’ nursing as we are not at war but that feels like an accurate description these days if I am honest.
I became a nurse because having been severely unwell with my own mental health and having received a mixed bag of care, some amazing but some quite frankly shocking. I wanted to help others in a holistic way, I wanted to walk side by side with people as they worked toward recovery, whatever that may be for them. Maybe I was idealistic? I even did my nursing dissertation on the changing role of the nurse as we move toward wholly co-produced mental health care. That shouldn’t be idealistic.
Getting to finish a day, even just once in a while knowing that we have made a positive difference, that shouldn’t be idealistic either. Tough days will always exist but should not be the norm. It scares me how many hugely experienced clinicians are due to retire in the next couple of years so without a major injection of cash things are only going to get worse not better.
Today we had a team stress risk assessment review and I won’t go into details because that is a local issue for my team but I was struck by how tired my colleagues and I are and how photo’s were popping up all day of people holding up pictures about managing stress for Mental Health Awareness week but that unless the staff put on their life jackets first and consider their own mental well being or we won’t be able to support others.
When I nursed on the refugee camp a couple of years ago it tested me to my absolute limits clinically, I was exhausted from long hours and I was working with deficits in resources even bigger than the NHS (I know right!) but stress didn’t hit us because we knew we were making a positive difference. I wonder what we could learn from that? Staff I work with are incredibly resourceful and supportive of each other and I wonder whether for a short time whether it is worth taking the emphasis away from the negatives and trial looking at ‘in an ideal world’ what would staff change at little or no cost… Kind of Solution Focused Brief Therapy for a team if you will?
So just a short blog but I hope you agree an important issue to start Mental Health Awareness Week so whether orange is your colour or not get your flipping life jacket on to enable you to keep helping others.

Adam Harris Thompson has been writing and performing music since 2007. In 2015, he dropped his day-job to pursue playing music professionally. Based out of Augusta, GA, he averages 4-6 shows per week and has an extensive repertoire of songs. In February of 2015, he was awarded Favorite Solo Artist in the Augusta area at the annual Lokal Loudness award ceremony. Then, in July of 2015, he was invited to film a short interview and performance of two original songs for a WJBF News Channel 6 segment, that later aired on August 21st, 2015. Stylistically, he is somewhat versatile, with his solo style being closest to folksy, Americana, alt country, & singer songwriter; while his full band style is more legendary blues with a southern rock flare. He has been known to accompany himself in one-man-band fashion: a guitar in his hands, harmonica propped to his face, and a bass drum at his feet. And he is also able to play the banjo, keys, and bass guitar (depending upon the difficulty of the songs being requested). Within the wheelhouse of his band are virtually endless possibilities of different instrumentation arrangements. Adam is a great choice for cultured back yard parties, wine or beer tastings, wedding ceremonies, first dances, and events that might appreciate some lightly comical story-telling to accompany song selections. Adam has an inviting personality and relatable sense of humor. Whether booked as a solo act, duo, trio, or full band, each performance can be unique and different. A class act!
We booked Adam for our wedding ceremony and he was amazing! His voice and music were beautiful and our guests were all raving about how great he was. He was extremely nice and helpful throughout our wedding planning and I would recommend him to everyone!
Love Love Love Adam! He was amazing to work with and was exactly what I was looking for and wanting for my wedding!
Adam was perfect for our event. He was very professional and talented. I highly recommend him.
Adam was amazing! He played a rehearsal dinner for me and my family and blew us away! He even covered Etta James At Last - this guy is super talented and I would recommend him to anyone.
Adam is wonderful, his talant is above all, superb. His personality is warm, friendly, fun, professional,and he was like part of our family during my beautiful daughters wedding. He willingly played and stayed much longer than we had originally asked him. We all had a blast, we sang and danced the night away into the early morning!! About 2 Am lol I, my daughter and all our guests loved him and we all highly recommed Adam. We hope he comes to Nashville soon We all plan on supporting him and going to see him play very soon!! Thank you Adam so very much!! You are an awesome artist and person!! Best wishes. Mother of the Bride Sharon ????????????

Scores overtime goal in Division 3 North hockey quarterfinal; Lynn plays Swampscott Thursday in first-ever trip to semis.
STONEHAM — The never-say-it’s-over Lynn Jets got a three-goal night from Brian Clougherty and standout goaltending from Jack Gallant in a 3-2 overtime win over Shawsheen.
Clougherty, junior, the younger of the two brothers skating for the Jets thisi season, scored 30 seconds into overtime to send the Lynn crowd into a frenzy. His senior brother Mike, along with Quinn Brinkler set up the winning score.
The win puts the Jets (13-5-4) in the Division 3 North semifinals for the first time ever. They will play the winner of Sunday’s Swampscott-Lowell game Thursday, time and place to be announced.
Coming into the season, the Jets did not have a goalie, standout netminder Jack Stafford having graduated. Jack Gallant stepped up during pre-season practices.
Also, coach Mike Roberts said before the season started that with a talented group of forwards returning, the Jets would switch gears and become more aggressive in the other team’s end.
So far, that has worked.
Clougherty’s first goal, from John DiFilippo came with just 1.8 seconds left in the first period and tied the game 1-1.
The junior winger’s second goal tied it at 2-2 with 3:42 left in the third period forcing overtime. Clougherty’s brother Mike set up the second goal.
Brian Clougherty said it was a team effort that got the job done Sunday night.
Gallant said he was just happy his guys popped one in in overtime.
Roberts, in his first year, said his team never got down, and kept plugging away until the goals came.
“I don’t think many people picked us to win, but we got a great effort from everybody and we are on to the semi’s,” the coach added.
Matt Irwin and Jack Duggan scored for the Rams, who finish 13-8-0.

Of the 24 Head Start grantees that we reviewed, none complied fully with Federal Head Start or State requirements to protect children from unsafe materials and equipment, and 21 of 24 grantees did not comply fully with Federal Head Start or State requirements to conduct criminal records checks, conduct recurring background checks, document criminal records checks, conduct checks of childcare exclusion lists, or conduct checks of child abuse and neglect registries. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 provided an additional $2.1 billion for Head Start during fiscal years 2009 and 2010.
The State requirements varied. The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) could adopt some of the State-specific requirements for background checks to better protect the health and safety of children. Those State requirements included periodic fingerprinting, conducting recurring background checks, and developing an exclusion list to deny employment to individuals who have been convicted of certain crimes.
We recommended that ACF (1) ensure through onsite monitoring that Head Start grantees comply with health and safety regulations; (2) perform an analysis to determine whether it should seek a legislative amendment of Federal health and safety requirements that would require periodic background checks for all Head Start employees; and (3) amend current policy and regulations to require that any prospective or current employee be disqualified for or terminated from employment with a Head Start grantee if the individual has been convicted of sexual abuse of a child, other forms of child abuse and neglect, or a violent felony.
In written comments on our draft report, ACF stated that it is analyzing our recommendation to implement periodic background checks of all Head Start employees. In addition, ACF stated that it is analyzing the need for legislative action related to implementing periodic background checks, its regulatory authority to change the current requirements for background checks, and its authority to amend current policies related to background checks.
