Identity Versus Role Confusion
Jenny Humphrey, Dan Humphrey's sister, struggles throughout the series to find herself. While Jenny is a very independent, strong willed girl she has a bad habit of latching onto those around her and making some bad choices like: forgetting her real friends, leaving school, almost divorcing her parents, poor decision making skills, along dealing drugs. It is not until she gets out of the Upper East Side that she can finally take control of her own life.
Self Efficacy
Blair Waldorf is the queen bee of the upper east side and she knows it. She confidently believes that she is the best the world has to offer and there is no single task she can't handle and conquer. It's this belief that she can handle anything that makes people want to follow her and it is also what makes some hate her. However, her confidence in herself is what allows her to succeed in any part of life.

Histrionic Personality Disorder
Serena Van Der Woodson is a beautiful blonde who seems to have it all together, she is Blair's best friend and for a majority of the show the girl friend of Dan. While Serena is adored by most, her family situation is very skrewed up and in turn has cause her some emotional trauma. Serena demonstartes many of the same characteristics as a person with a histrionic personality disorder. She tends to be overly dramatic, she can be very manipulative, she seeks attentions (especially from men, which is probably because her father left her when she was little), Serena also uses seduction to get this attention. She also depends on others and tends to up and run away when things get really bad anhe cannot see a way to fix it.
Pareting Styles
Permissive Parenting
Authoritative Parenting
The Parents in this show tend to be on the permissive side. Serena's mom in the beginning seasons is extremly permissive and does pay much attention to her children. However, throughout the seasons Ms. Van Der Woodson works to become more of an authoritative parentiing style. While her intention was good that transition is very difficult on her children and it shows how important parenting styles are and how hard they can be to alter. This show also uses the charcter Rufus Humphery, the father of Dan and Jenny, to demonstrate the struggles of having to be a single dad with an authoritative parenting in a world of parents with a permissive parenting style. Many times Rufus is critized by his daughter for not being as lenient with her as her friends parents. This causes a lot of conflict in the Humphery household, especially between Jenny and her dad.
The Psychology of Gossip Girl
I chose to do my project on
Gossip Girl
because it is a show I really enjoy. I have seen the entire series and love all of the different characters. Each character has their own story and their own problems yet everyone connects to one another in some way. The show is exciting, suspensful, and very dramatic! I would definitly recommend it to anyone; however, girls tend to be the shows main fan basis. This show also deals with a lot of psychological aspects as well, and that is why I decided to use it as my " psychology of " project.
External Locus Control
In season 5 Chuck and Blair decide to elope even though Blair is engaged to Prince Louis of Monoco and is currently pregnant with his child. However, as Blair and Chuck are driving off together they are in a horrible accident. Blair loses her child and Chuck almost dies. Blair is convinced this is all her fault and prays to God promising that if he lets Chuck live she will keep her promise to marry Louis and will cut off all romantic conotact with Chuck. After making this promise to God the nurse comes in to tell her that Chuck survived. Although she is thrilled she refuses to see him and refuses to marry him even though she knows in her heart that he is the one she loves.
Intimacy Versus Isolation
Chuck Bass has always had difficulty commiting to another person. Throughout his life Chuck had never had any real responsibilities, he spent most of his time getting drunk, high, and hooking up with girls. It wasn't until he fell for Blair that he started to understand what love and commitmet was. Unfortunatley, Chuck struggles with this during almost every season and it makes his relationship with Blair very difficult. This stage in Eriksons model is especially hard for Chuck I think because his father lied to him about his mother's death, saying she died in child birth when in reality she was alive, he was ignored and verbally abused by his father for a majority of his life, his uncle trick him out of his own company, and without Chuck's knowledge his father faked his own death. So Chuck's life has not been easy and therefore his ability to love another person is a very difficult transition.
Stage Three Conventional
Dan is a writer and during the final seasons he writes two books. Both novels are insired by his time spent with those on the upper east side. He uses his friends as charcters, butchanges their names slightly. Dan struggled with this first book because he knew not everyone was portrayed as they woulhave liked. He wondered if his friends and family would still like him, he almost didn't have the book published. In the end he looked passed Kohlbergs moral stage of conventional thinking and went ahead and published his novel. Almost all of his "friends" were irritated with their portrayal in Dan's novel and Dan took their hurtful comments very personally and became angry with them in turn. This led him to write another group of short stories about his friends directly, about actual events using their actual names. Dan once again skipped over this stage of moral development and lost many of the important people in his life. It took Dan a very long time to repair those friendships.
Start at 1:10
Representativeness Heuristic
Blair's parents are divorced and when her mom began dating again Blair was exstatic. He was a lawyer and Blair assumed he would be this big shot, hot, law firm owning guy. However, he was quite the opposite and even though he made her mom really happy Blair could get her prototype for him out of her head. She felt her mother could do better, so she tried to ruin their relationship. It was until she succeeded in breaking up the two that she realized what a good man he was and how much he meant to her mother. She was able to fix her mess and the two got back together and got married.
Borderline Personality Disorder
Chuck shares a lot of the same Characteristics as a person wit borderline peersonality disorder. For the first 18 years of his life he was unable to have a healthy and stable relationships. He would have tons of hook ups, but nothing more. Even when fall in love with Blair during his junior year, he does not kw what to do with those feeling so he drinks and sleeps with high class prostitutes. Still he has these feelings and instead of facing them he demonstrates eratic emotions especially ones dealing with anger. Also when he finally learns how to approach his love for Blair he continues to struggle later in his relationship because of his intamacy vs. isolation issues causing the two to break up. Without Blair Chuck is lost and cannot function and while he still loves her he eventually learns that if he loves her he must let her go.
Passionate and Compassionate Love
Chuck and Blair are soul mates, the two demonstrate passionate love and companionate love throughout the entire series. The two go through many rough times and at times even hate one another, but their hate is never as stro as their love. The two would do anythhing for one another, which also demonstraes equity. Chuck loves Blair more than anyone else in the world, and Blair too never loved someone more than she loved Chuck. It is there consistant passion for each other that has everyone routing for them and it is what made the series finale so beautiful. The two are finally married and are finally at peace. There really was no other way to conclde the series, the two made Gossip Girl the incredible show it was.
Passionate and Companionate Love
Blair and Chuck are more than just a hook up in the back of a limo, they were soul mates from the beginning. While they had many ups and downs and even hated one another at times, they never stopped loving one another. Many say that the passionate love is the strongest in the beginning of a relationship, but Chuck and Blair are not an ordinary couple. The passion the two have for each other is something special, like Blair said in season 1 they are and will always be Chuck and Blair. They are the only one for each other, which also demonsates equity. The two have an attatchment that cannot be broken which is why their marriage was the perfect way to end the series. The two were meant to be from season one and that is why it was so great! Chuck and Blair made Gossip Girl.

Who Wore It Better
Best Summer Outfit

Best Wedding Dress
Why do we as a society have to decide who wore it better?
Gossip Girl displays how much emphasis we as a society put on material things. It shows how many times these material things get in the way of the important things in life like family, friends, and love. Everyone just picked out who looked better in a picture, including the bride in her wedding. We all do it, but do we really hve the right to judge a woman on her wedding day... no we don't. We talked about the halo effect in psychology this year and that alone shows us how much appearence means to us as a culture. In Gossip Girl it even came to point where characters were greedy, they let their materials get in the way of what is really important in life.
If you have a specific group of friends, then you will subconciously appoint one of your friends as the leader and conform to simillar habits as your frieds group.
1. Do you associate with a certain/ specific group of friends? yes/no
2. Would you say you look to one of your friends as the leader? yes/no
3. Would you consider yourself the leader of your friends? yes/no
4. Do you feel taken for granted in your group of friends? yes/no
5. Would you consider youself a leader or a follower? leader/follower
6. Do you adopt some o the same habits as your friends? yes/no
Athens Drive Students
Materials used:
I used a survey to complete prove or disprove my hypothesis. I chose this hypothesis because Gossip Girl deals a lot with unhealthy friendships and cliques. since we are in high school as well I wanted to see if we faced some of the same issues the students in Gossip Girl faced. The independent variable would be the friends a person associates themselves with and the dependent variable would be a person's behavior around those friends.
To collect this data I will either text out the survey questions or give out hard copies of the questions, which ever is more convenient for the survey taker, and then record the answers on multiple pie graphs. Then I will compare the results of each question.
Ethical Considerations
An ethical consideration I had was I wanted to pick from a wide range of people from various cultural and social economic backgrounds.
Problems with my research:
I was not able to get a very diverse group of people to answer my survey questions. Most people who answered the survey were my friends and people in my classes. This makes my data bias. Also the people who I survey may not be being honest. There is nothing in this research study that would make someone tell the truth, some people may be embarrased to admit they look to one of their friends as their leader and that the follow their example. If I could do this experiment again I would definitley collect my data differently and try to make sure my data was more diverse and that it branched out to all different friend groups.
This research proved that people do identify themselves with certain groups and it is throughout those groups that they gain certain habits and attitudes. Also it showed that about 40% of people look to one of their friends as the leader of their friends. Another surprising thing was about half the people survey thought of themselves as leaders and the other half thought of themselves as followers. I thought this was strange because in Gossip Girl there is definitley about half the charcters who would consider themselves leaders and about half that would consider themselves followers. I thought this was very interesting because I thought more people would consider themselves leaders, but just like in the show high schoolers wan to be accepted and so they find a group even if it is with people who do not always appreciate them (about 31% of students surveyed admitted to feeling as if their friends take them for granted). I think my hypothesis proved true when stating that people adopted similar behaviors from their friends, but I think the part about groups of friends looking to a leader was only partially proven since the votes were split. I think the next step would be to survey more people, I only survey 13 students. I think if I surveyed more students from all over Wake County and looked at both ublic and private schools I could get better and more accurate data. This is definitley important because it is who we are, it is how our society is determining its identity whether you think this is the right way for a person to decide who they are as a person it is still how we do it.
Thank You!

Review: Ordered these bulbs for a Christmas
Ordered these bulbs for a Christmas tree which needed a certain mini bulb. I could not find any in my local town so ordered them online. They arrived before the date estimated and were very well wrapped, free post,and a good price. Tried one straight away and it worked a treat. Would recommend using this company.

Irish Gorge Walking: A Guide
Need inspiration for your next adventure holiday? If you've never tried your hand at gorge walking, hopefully this short guide will persuade you that this could be just the pursuit you've been searching for!
What is gorge walking?
Anything that involves scrambling through rivers, waterfalls or canyons can be referred to as gorge walking. Gorge walkers often indulge in a spot of abseiling and cliff jumping, especially in locations with waterfalls.
Sometimes referred to as canyoning, gorge walking is an intense and physically demanding hobby not one for the fainthearted. That said, the emphasis of this activity remains on enjoyment and fun, as opposed to physical endurance. It also serves as a popular team building activity, especially when incorporated with orienteering and outdoor survival pursuits.
The best places to go
Gorge walking is popular the world over, although there are some locations which boast natural landscapes that look like they were created for this very purpose.
Ireland definitely occupies a top spot. The plethora of rugged mountains, rivers and natural waterfalls makes it a perfect choice for enthusiastic scramblers of all abilities. Adventure Sports North West are based near Clonmany Inishowen, Co. Donegal, specialising in adventure activities like gorge walking, rock climbing and coasteering.
This is also a great location for exploring the beautiful scenery of North West Ireland, including the spectacular Giant's Causeway and Clonmany, often described as the epitome of traditional Irish culture.
Where to stay
After a long day of picking your way of across windswept mountains and plunging into icy rivers, nothing beats the feeling of relaxing in front of a crackling log fire as you share thrilling stories of your adventures.
Clonmany is a popular tourism spot and there are a wide selection of hotels, holiday cottages, bed and breakfasts and camp sites, so you're sure to find something that suits your needs.
How to prepare yourself
When it comes to preparation, it's worth bearing in mind that gorge walking is not about beating personal bests, or coming in first place. That's not to say that it's not physically intense or often gruelling. However, the emphasis is firmly placed on enjoying yourself, so there's certainly no need to 'train' before your first attempt.
As far as specialised equipment goes, you can relax in the knowledge that all of this will be supplied by the activity centre or organiser that you're using. Usually, all you will be asked to bring along is your own footwear. Ask any gorge walker and they will tell you that as much as they love the activity, spending a lot of time in wet walking boots can be rather uncomfortable. Something like these waterproof boots, from the range of MuckBoots at Uttings Outdoor, are ideal for keeping your feet warm and dry.
So if you think this sounds like the adventure for you, grab a towel (and your enthusiasm) and head for the canyons!

Royals rally but to no avail
Meath 0-14 Cavan 0-12
Meath took the bragging rights but no more as results elsewhere meant their two point win over Cavan wasn't enough to see them return to the top flight.
The Royals finished strongly to secure the spoils with Mickey Newman leading the way with a six point haul.
However Down's win over Laois and Roscommon's victory in Mullingar meant the Connacht side went up on the basis of their head to head record against the Royals.
The first half was dominated by some desperate shooting. By the short whistle, the sides had managed 20 wides between them with Cavan accounting for 11 of those. The last action of the half summed up much of the play in front of goals as the otherwise excellent Padraic Harnan punched wide from in front of goal when a goal chance seemed on.
Still the Royals took a 0-6 to 0-5 lead in at the break thanks to two superb Shane O'Rourke scores towards the end of the half.
At the other end, Martin Reilly was doing the most damage for Cavan and he hit two points from play to help the visitors into a 0-5 to 0-3 lead after 30 mins. However, the Royals finished strongly to take a narrow lead in at the break.
The tit for tat nature of the game continued though Cavan will rue a brilliant Donnacha Tobin block that denied Cian Mackey a certain goal.
Meath trailed by three with 15 minutes to go but recovered to take the win but it was to no avail as the Royals fell just short of promotion for the second year running.
SCORERS - Meath: M Newman 0-6 (4f), S O'Rourke, S Bray, 0-2 each, J McEntee, B Menton, M Burke, E Wallace 0-1 each.
Cavan: M Dunne (2f), M O'Reilly (1f) 0-3 each, G McKiernan, T Corr, J McEnroe, N Murray, D McVeety, D O'Reilly 0-1 each.
Meath: P O'Rourke; D Tobin, C McGill, J McEntee; M Burke, D Dalton, B Power; C Gillespie, A Flanagan; G Reilly, P Harnan, M O'Sullivan; M Newman, S Bray, S O'Rourke SUBS: B Menton for McEntee (26), J Wallace for O'Sullivan (27), E Wallace for O'Rourke (55), D Carroll for Harnan (68).
Cavan: J Farrelly; J McLoughlin, K Brady, R Dunne; J McEnroe, D O'Reilly, F Flanagan; T Corr, G McKiernan; D McVeety, R Flanagan, M Reilly; C Mackey, M Dunne, B Fitzpatrick SUBS: C Conroy for Brady (ht), M Argue for Fitzpatrick (50), N Murray for McEnroe (52), T Hayes for Dunne (58), J Brady for Flanagan (66).

Issue No:10/06/4
Every mortgage firm in today's world has an information system which records the new customers acquired, transactions, products sold, etc. This huge data dump makes no sense to the senior management of the mortgage firm unless it is converted into presentable information.
Let us put ourselves into the shoes of a senior manager in a mortgage firm for a moment. Now, what would I like to see from the point of improving the sales of the products? First, I would like to see the current position of the firm in the market. Then I would like to identify the open spaces in the market where the firm can move and can make use of first-mover advantage. And so on
The action plans in the above paragraph are a part of strategic marketing. One of the most significant steps in strategic marketing is Environment Scanning. The firm should be analyzed with respect to its competitors in terms of pricing, distribution, promotion, advertising and market segmentation. For an internal appraisal the firm's primary data from its information system can be used. Secondary data from outside agencies can be availed of to see how the firm is doing with respect to other players in the market.
Pricing is an operational strategy and is mostly influenced by requirement for net-income and for long-term market control. An internal scan of the products can be done using the primary data of the firm. The Net Present Value of each of the products sold can be calculated and this helps the management to compare the Expected Profits and Realized Profits for a product. The break-up of the NPV into costs can lead to significant insights as in where the firm can reduce its costs to improve on its profit.
Each of the products of the firm can be plotted on the BCG Matrix (Market Growth Rate Vs Relative Market Share) to get an idea of the cash cows and the stars in the portfolio. The products offering of the firm can be compared with that of its competitors and white spaces can be filled if that particular segment is profitable.
Distribution being the fourth element of marketing mix plays a significant role on a products success. The secondary data on the market can be analyzed for the Market Share of the firm in various regions, product categories. This helps in identification of White Spaces, where the firm should concentrate on its marketing efforts.
The customers can be segmented on the basis of loses. In the high loss segments certain customer traits can be picked up using CART or CHAID. Based on these traits the management can predict the losses from the customer mix.
Based on all the above factual analysis the management is in a better situation to identify the current position of the firm/product with respect to they eyes of the customer and to re-position the firm/product it the need be.

The leading image of Tel Aviv's Illustration Week 2016 | Illustration by Ariel Wollek
The story behind the collaboration of Wix Design and Tel Aviv's annual Illustration Week
Text Shelly Peleg | Images Ariel Wollek
Date 13th of November, 2016

"A huge challange and opportunity" - Ariel Wollek | Photo by Alan Tztakin
This past September, Tel Aviv's Illustration Week took place for the third time, showcasing the talent of local illustrators in dozens of exhibitions and events all around the city. It was the second time that Wix Design took part in the event.
You maybe asking yourself why an online web company chose to get involved in an illustration festival? To understand better, let's start from the top. Tel Aviv Illustration Week is a very cool initiative organized by Yuval Sa'ar. Yuval is a local design advocate, who runs his own online magazine, teaches and writes for many more platforms. For the past three years, he has been collaborating with the Tel Aviv Municipality to create the Illustration Week initiative - an annual event celebrating the local illustration community.
It's been a huge success, and not just within the illustration community - but also among artists, designers and the creative community in general. Naturally, when Yuval approached us to collaborate we immediately jumped on board. We're always happy to support local efforts and events, especially if we get to use our own in-house talent to be part of the creative project.
Our first year of partnership involved the obvious - designing the event website. But for the second year, we were thrilled to extend our partnership by contributing something more. This year, our studio was in charge of creating the main illustration - the one representing the entire Illustration Week event across a variety of formats.
One of the many formats we had to work on | Bus station poster in Tel Aviv
I sat down with Ariel Wollek, our illustrator from the Wix Design Dev team, who was assigned to the exciting task. I asked him a few questions about the process, the challenges and the gorgeous outcome. Here's his story:
The Brief
"We received the brief for the project from Yuval Saar & the Tel-Aviv Municipality about five weeks before the event (which meant a very tight schedule!), and were asked to create an urban, upbeat image, including elements from the illustration world as well as the city of Tel Aviv.
We started with a brainstorm session, and then moved on to collecting visual inspirations. There was one specific image I saw that sparked the idea of illustrating Tel-Avivian characters and piecing them together with famous buildings and monuments from around the city. And then I started sketching. The hard part was to find and choose the right buildings and places, and then to match them with the characters I created. We sent out a first draft to the Tel Aviv Municipality, and they really loved it. In fact they liked it so much, they decided to use the image for the entire 'Celebrating Art Month' campaign, of which Illustration Week was just a part."
One of the first skectchs
The different charachters, before they became one image
And then the real work began. After developing each of the characters individually, we decided to try and combine them into one large composition - which turned out to be a great decision. We felt that it conveyed the idea of the brief perfectly - depicting the sense of the city and its rhythm. It worked out really well and also provided us with one main image alongside the individual characters that we could easily utilize for other designs and branding materials."
The Colors
"The next step in the process was choosing the color palette, which turned out to be exhausting! The first option (Image A, below) included about five colors, as I didn't want to limit myself. But, when we reviewed it within my team we realized that the colors created visual noise - the over-colorful palette just wasn't working. So we made the decision; no more than three colors.
With that in mind I went back to the files, and together with the team we experimented with tons of color combinations. The first option we liked was the one with the orange background (Image B, below), and after many more back and forth discussions we actually decided to go with something that was very similar to our first choice.

The Formats
"The illustration had to work for many formats: a wide version for the website (which was designed in our studio as well), posters for bus stations, separate versions for each character on different backgrounds, street advertising, magazines, social media and more.
We also created an animated version of the illustration that we used in the website which was created by Guy Garbian, an amazing designer from our broadcast team. It was very cool to work together to bring the illustration to life."

The Challenge
"It was the first time I ever took part in such a huge project, and certainly the first time my work got exposed to such a large and diverse audience (Tel Aviv city!). It was challenging, but also super exciting. The whole process made me especially on edge about making sure that everything was pixel PERFECT, resulting in many sleepless nights But it was well worth it of course. As mentioned earlier, we had a tight schedule with just five weeks for the entire process - from the moment the brief was given till the final files had to be sent out. It was important for me to prove to myself - on a personal and professional level - that I was up to the challenge. It felt like such a rare opportunity that I had to succeed!"
The Outcome
"Eventually all the hard work was well worth it. The feedback was amazing and everyone seemed to enjoy the final result. It was especially gratifying that the initiator of the event and the municipality board loved it. But the most special part was walking around Tel Aviv and seeing my illustrations everywhere; it was just the best feeling ever. I wish I had time to participate in the event itself, even just one of the exhibitions, but there wasn't any time left on my hands. Thankfully I got to be part of it in a very cool and different way!"

In Love and War Paperback

I had two questions:
1) Can I enter formula (e.g. one as below) in the noisefile that I want to be included for defining the noise source. I am asking this becuase when I tried it, I got errors but when I entered the same thing in via Noise/Frequency points in the vsource Object properties, it ran fine. But it has limitation of 10 pairs only. Does the file input also has some such number-of-pairs limitation?
fpfd*0.05 propsdnoise_multfac*((2*sin(pi*0.05))**(2*modord-2))
fpfd*(10**(log10(0.05)+0.1)) propsdnoise_multfac*((2*sin(pi*(10**(log10(0.05)+0.1))))**(2*modord-2))
fpfd*(10**(log10(0.05)+0.2)) propsdnoise_multfac*((2*sin(pi*(10**(log10(0.05)+0.2))))**(2*modord-2))
fpfd*(10**(log10(0.05)+0.3)) propsdnoise_multfac*((2*sin(pi*(10**(log10(0.05)+0.3))))**(2*modord-2))
2) As you can see in the example above, I am trying to do the logarithmic interpolation. Is it possible to do that automatically as this interpolation is still not good enough as what is happening is I calculate logarithmic interpolated value by the equation aobve but the points between them are interpolated linearly inside the simulator. Is there any solution to it?

$255,0004 Beds2 BathsContract Pending
1122 N Denis Ct, East Wenatchee, Washington 98802 - Brand new roof and carpet! This home is on a quiet street that ends in a cul-de-sac, and yet is only minutes from shopping, schools, and highways. Wood floors, archways, and a fireplace add to the character of this charming 1950s home. The large backyard has lots of potential and includes a separate fenced off area that was used as a dog run, but can easily be converted to a play area.

Isa checklist: 12 Isa dos and don'ts
Consider bond funds as they are more tax-efficient within an Isa
This is because by holding them in the tax-efficient wrapper you avoid paying income tax on any gains. Whereas equity funds incur capital gains tax, for which you already have an annual tax-free allowance. If you don't have room to put your whole portfolio in your Isa, prioritise the bond funds over the equity funds.
Keep your eye on retail bonds
Many companies such as John Lewis, Tesco and National Grid have launched retail bonds over recent years. Provided they have at least five years to maturity, most retail bonds can be invested in an Isa, and any tax deducted can be reclaimed. However, the government announced in December's Autumn Statement that bonds with maturities of less than five years could soon be allowed in Isas, so watch out for further announcements.
Use your spouse's Isa allowance too
That's £23,760 to play with if you use both allowances in the 2014/15 tax year.
Increase your monthly savings each year as the maximum allowance increases
Automatically putting money into your Isa each month is a hassle-free way to build up a tidy nest egg, but don't forget to readjust the amount each tax year so you're always putting in the full allowance.
Understand the value a fund manager can add to your portfolio
This is especially with smaller companies or emerging markets companies where it's more difficult to pick the winners yourself.
Review, review, review!
A stocks and shares Isa requires more attention than a cash Isa so make sure you put the time aside to check the performance of your holdings and that you're on track to meet your objectives. Also have a quick look to see if your Isa provider meets your needs, in terms of cost, service and investment range.
Cash in a poorly paying cash Isa
If you do that, you'll lose that tax-free allowance forever. Instead, switch it to another cash Isa with a better interest rate, or a stocks and shares Isa.
Forget about Aim shares
Investors can invest in companies such as Majestic Wine and Asos in their Isas, following a rule change last August. If you're happy to take a bit more risk than say, investing in FTSE 100 shares, the Alternative Investment Market (Aim) might be the place for you.
Around 15 to 20 funds should be ample for most investor.
Use individual shares if you're not going to monitor them
If you're short of time, invest in funds or investment trusts as it's far easier to keep on top of developments.
Invest in it if you don't understand it
If you don't understand how an individual company, such as a bank, makes its profits, or how a fund manager makes big returns using derivatives, steer clear. Be careful of retail bonds too. They may seem simple but do your research. The yields on Co-op bonds looked enticing but many investors (including professionals) misunderstood the risks and were caught out.
Overlook investment trusts
These are slightly different to funds as they are traded on a stockmarket and can be bought either at a premium or discount. Sometimes they are cheaper and have better performance than similar funds. However, they're not offered by every Isa provider so look closely at the investment range when choosing a provider.

The Pillowman stemmed in part from McDonagh's experience composing fairy tales, with names such as The Chair and the Wolfboy, The Short Fellow and the Strange Frog, and The Violin and the Drunken Angel, early in his writing career. Attempting to rewrite fairy tales he remembered from childhood, he realized that "there's something dark about them that doesn't quite come through."
In a conversation with Irish drama critic Fintan O'Toole in BOMB Magazine in 1998, McDonagh retold the Brothers Grimm version of Little Red Riding Hood, in which the wolf's stomach is filled with rocks and sewn with green wire, leading to the wolf's death. McDonagh's comment—"I would love to write something as horrific as that if I could"—indicates one potential inspiration for the story "The Little Apple Men" in The Pillowman.[1]
It has been noted that this play borrowed heavily from a 1991 independent film Closet Land, written and directed by Indian filmmaker Radha Bharadwaj which starred Madeleine Stowe and Alan Rickman.[2] Commenting on this, Bob Mielke, Ph.D, Professor of English at Truman State University has stated that "plot elements of Closet Land persist in another narrative host body, another way in which this text persists and haunts (if you will) our culture."[3][4]

The construction of modern battleships such as the maine and the oregon transformed the country into the world's third largest naval power
Cultural factors also were used to justify imperialism some Americans combined the philosophy of social darwinism –a belief that free-market competition would lead to the survival of the fittest-with a bilief in the racial superiority of anglo-saxons. They argued that the United States had a responsibility to spread Christianity and civilization to the world's inferior poeples.

Entrepreneur Steven Mitchell has turned his low-cost coffin business into an aerial venture by offering mourners the ultimate in funerals, sending ashes heavenwards in rockets capable of flying at up to the speed of sound.
Mitchell, 47, an amateur rocketeer, has joined forces with New York born Paul Lavin, chemist, lawyer and rocket enthusiast to add funeral rockets to a business at present supplying coffins. Packages ranging from a do-it-yourself rocket to the speed of sound version will be available to carry a few grams of ashes that will scatter when the rocket explodes.
For the past year Mitchell has been developing Comparethecoffin.com, an online business selling coffins direct or via a tender route involving funeral directors. He recalls: "I set up the business after being completely ripped off by a funeral director over the cost of a funeral for a colleague. We're getting 6,000 hits a month and have supplied 700-800 coffins but with 500,000 funerals a year there's some way to go. I'm aiming for 2pc of the UK market."
An unexpected request from a Newcastle family wanting the ashes of a relative scattered over the Tyne led to the rocket service.
Packages for rockets flying half a mile heavenwards could come out at under £300 depending on the payload.
There is insurance cover for the dedicated DIY mourner with couriers delivering the complete rocket package including fuel.
The bigger the rocket and the heavier the ground equipment needed for the launch the higher the price. Mitchell is looking for business in an area around the M25 circle although rocket launches, depending on air traffic, are permissible within five miles of airports.
Lavin, a pilot as well as rocketeer has launched more than 400 from Windsor Great Park alone. He says: "I've done one or two rocket funerals. We've talked to local funeral directors about how the rocket service could make a lot of people happy."
Mitchell is already prepared for the launch of his next big idea: turning the business into a franchise and moving into continental Europe.

Homesickness & Hope
Folding a leg up on the opposite knee, Saul's flip flop bounced as he searched. "Okay, here's another one. Aquiver. Sounds like something JELL-O does." Riley squinted, trying to mentally shift from transmissions to JELL-O. "It says you get extra points if you can use it in a sentence. How about…the ladies go all aquiver when Saul walks by"? Riley smirked. "Good one." Chin to chest, Saul searched for another. "All right. Your turn, mijo." He capped his pen. "Ineffable." "What kind of word search is this?" Riley spared a glance.

Auto enthusiasts appreciate the unparalleled speed built into each Porsche, and understand that only the highest quality replacement Boxster parts will suffice when repairs are needed. Anyone who operates a Porsche knows that when it comes to maintaining their vehicle only the most superior replacement parts will do. The vehicle in your driveway is head and shoulders above the rest when it comes to all the cars, trucks, and SUVs in today's marketplace. While it's not hard to locate replacement parts for Porsche vehicles, these days only the absolute best are required to fix your car or truck.
The comfort of our rides today is the result of many different drive train and suspension inventions that have come about in the last 50 to 100 years. Without the CV axle shaft, our cars and SUVs could not have independent suspensions and your Porsche Boxster would not have front-wheel drive. The Porsche Boxster CV axle shaft has special universal joints that allow the shaft to continue to rotate at the same speed even if the transmission or differential and wheel hub are at different heights. When CV axles malfunction it usually results in complete loss of usability of those axles and the drive wheels they are attached to.
At Car Parts Discount, we have real customer support agents on the phone with enough expertise to help you buy the correct Porsche Boxster part for your needs. Buying new Porsche parts from www.carpartsdiscount.com means you are taking advantage of the highest quality original and aftermarket replacement Boxster parts on the internet. Don't let a broken CV Axle Shaft spell the end of your car, truck, or SUV, and don't gamble with its condition by installing anything but the highest quality repair parts. Just choose your year from the list below to find the right Porsche Boxster CV Axle Shaft for your 2004, 2003, 2002, 2001, 2000 model.

Six readings on parliaments and how they use evidence
Photo: Department of Research Services, Parliament of Uganda Author: Emily Hayter, Programme Manager, Evidence-Informed Policy Making Team, INASP Over the past 18 months, our Evidence-Informed Policy Making team has expanded our work with parliaments, digging deeper into what 'evidence-informed policy making' means in the complex and politically charged environments of legislatures in developing countries. We've been lucky to draw on our partnerships with the parliaments of Ghana, Zimbabwe and Uganda for first-hand experience from staff, but as we learn more about parliaments and how to support the research and information systems within them, we've also benefited from some key reports and papers. So here are some of the readings that are helping us understand the role research and evidence play in parliaments, and the ways programmes like ours can improve our approaches to strengthening evidence-informed policy making. 1. Information and Expertise for Parliaments By Global Partners Governance This is a … Continue reading

Ten Videos on Evidence and Policy
Here are a few of our favourite videos featuring researchers, policymakers and practitioners all over the world discussing key issues in evidence-informed policy: what it is, what the challenges are, and how to address them. Got more to share? Please tell us in the comments! 1 What is EIPM? Here Louise Shaxson of the Overseas Development Institute's Research and Policy in Development programme draws on her experience with the Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs to explain the concept of evidence-informed policy making, highlighting the role of processes within public institutions: "you can have the best evidence in the world but if you put it through poor processes you won't get good evidence informed policy making". At INASP we see these processes as a complex set of structures, relationships and behaviours within public institutions that shape how evidence is gathered, synthesised, appraised and communicated to inform policy. 2) Getting … Continue reading

Series: 'Q&A' with Publishers for Development speakers
Joshua Okonya is a Research Associate at the International Potato Center (CIP) in Uganda. He will be speaking at Publishers for Development on the 28 June about his research into the impact of pests on crop yield, the resulting impact on food security and how this is affected by climate change. What is your main area of research? My area of research is crop entomology. I collect baseline information about pest related crop losses, looking at the impact of these losses on farmers' livelihoods and how climate change affects this. I look at pest management strategies for sustainable crop production with the hope of improving the food security and livelihoods of smallholder farmers in Uganda. How does your work relate to the SDGs or international development more generally? The research projects I work on aim to achieve food security for the smallholder farmers in Uganda, Rwanda and Burundi (SDG 2); … Continue reading

How does access to research literature support international development and achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals?
The Publishers for Development 2016 (PfD) conferences will highlight and tell stories about the importance and impact of access to information and online research literature in various development contexts and in relation to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Whether it be in furthering education and empowering communities, creating food security, reducing climate change or building strong relationships, the publishing community had an important role to play. The provision of access to research, is able to positively, and negatively, impact national and international development. PfD 2016 will host a variety of interesting speakers from around the world to bring the theme to life. One such planned speaker for the 28 June meeting in Oxford,UK is Ugandan entomologist, Joshua Okonya. He works with the Kampala-based International Potato Centre, whose mission is to "work with partners to achieve food security, well-being and gender equity for poor people in root and tuber farming and … Continue reading

Re-skilling librarians in an age of rapid technological development
Agnes Kanzira Namaganda is an Academic Librarian, Information Literacy Instructor, and Head of Book Bank/Acquisitions Section at Makerere University Library, Uganda. She has been supported by INASP through a 2015 Leadership Grant , and here she reflects on some of the library skills supported through INASP grants and activities. Agnes blogs regularly at LATINA IN Africa. Changing technologies, changing libraries Global competition, new ICT and the demand for accountability have created major shifts in terms of collection development (from paper to electronic) and ways in which we, as librarians, organize our work. Librarians need to rethink ways of providing educational resources to support teaching, learning and research. This calls for a wide set of skills, attributes, and attitudes in order to serve diverse communities and adapt to the constantly evolving information landscape. There is need for continuous professional development, the creation of partnerships with faculty and active engagement in research … Continue reading

Pit mistake puts Schumi out
Michael Schumacher was forced to retire from the Chinese GP after a mistake during his first stop meant the front right tyre was not attached properly.
By William Esler
Last Updated: 15/04/12 12:11pm
Michael Schumacher was forced to retire from the Chinese Grand Prix after a mistake during his first stop meant his car's front-right tyre was not attached properly.
One of the Mercedes mechanics appeared to have trouble with the original wheel gun, and when he went to switch to a back-up, the German driver was released by the team's automated light system.
The 43-year-old was on course for his best result since his return to Formula 1 in 2010, running in second spot, behind his team-mate with the Silver Arrows looking strong.
A despondent Schumacher told Sky Sports F1: "The front wheel got loose. We need to check why and exactly what happened.
"I feel a bit sad for one of our boys, but I will hug him later on and calm him down."
Race stewards later fined Mercedes €5,000 (£4,131) for what was deemed to have been "unsafe release" from the stop, although they added that the "prompt action of the driver, in stopping the car as soon as the problem was noticed, is taken into account in the penalty determination".

Whatever discipline you teach, from visual arts to dance to metal working, you probably have property that you would prefer not to have to pay to replace. Property insurance covers all of these things: props, costumes, equipment, computers, etc. This coverage is also referred to occasionally as inland marine.
Don't assume that general liability insurance automatically protects your property as well. Unless property is specifically added to the policy, it does not. While a general liability policy may list "property" coverage, that is "property" in the real estate sense of the term: an actual physical structure.
Most property coverage includes a deductible in the $500-$1000 range, so if the value of your property is lower than or close to that deductible then this is not a worthwhile investment.
So I've covered myself and my stuff. Maybe I should look into health insurance too? Good thinking! Health Insurance
I keep hearing about disability insurance. What's that all about? An excellent question! Disability Insurance

(WARNING: Major spoilers ahead for J.K. Rowling's Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them as well as possible spoilers for its sequels. Proceed with caution.)
Now that #JKRowling's new adventure in the wizarding world has been released, it's time to talk about it in detail. Many, including myself, had a hard time believing that the series world be stretched out into five feature-length films. A 128-page textbook spread out through five films? That concept sounded absolutely insane. That's what I thought until I saw #FantasticBeastsandWheretoFindThem for myself. Now that audiences around the world have seen it, I don't think they would mind four more of these. Lesson learned: never doubt J.K. Rowling.

- Ranking The Top 5 Magical Creatures Of J.K. Rowling's Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them
J.K. Rowling is one of the greatest world builders who ever lived, only rivaling the likes of J.R.R. Tolkien and George Lucas. Her newest film has introduced a whole new corner of a universe that we already know, creating something that is drastically different from #HarryPotter, yet keeping a sense of familiarity. One of the major components of this new world are the characters, but more importantly the "bad guys." Grindelwald and Crendence, played fantastically by #TheFlash's Ezra Miller, quickly became the series' most intriguing characters as soon as revelations were revealed. But as quick as his true reality was revealed, Credence looked to be dead — or was he?
Cut Ending Reveals Credence's Fate (And Where To Find Him)
Speaking with Cinema Blend during a New York junket leading up to the film, producer David Heyman revealed that Credence was able to escape, alive and well, and though his fate was ambiguous and left to interpretation, the answer is yes, Credence Barebone lives another day.
"We actually had a scene, which we cut, which was Credence going to a boat, to get on a boat somewhere else. But we cut that, because we didn't want to have it be such an, 'Ahhh, here we go.'"
It is understandable why the scene was cut. It would have struck the audience as too obvious and on the nose. It was wise of Rowling and her team to keep the viewers guessing so that they get seats in the theater for future installments. It seemed as though Barebone's arc was tied up, as it did (in a sense) feel completed. Fortunately, Ezra Miller will continue to be a presence in Rowling's universe, considering the fact that his performance was one of the highlights of the film. In addition to this reveal, there is another question to be asked:
Where Is He Going Next?
Producer David Heyman no doubt spilled a lot on the future of the franchise. Besides revealing if the Obscurus is alive, he also revealed that he is heading somewhere, most likely overseas. It may be possible that he is just running away from Grindelwald. It is impossible to think that the character will not seek out Miller to use his power for his own agenda. Another possibility is that Barebone is looking to be taught. Throughout the film, Graves — posing as the dark wizard — promised to teach the Second Salemer. When Graves turned on him, it triggered the character to wreck havoc on New York City. Whether Barebone will be using his powers for good or evil is yet to be known, but looking for wizards overseas? That would be a safe bet.
Later in the interview with Heyman, the producer revealed the importance of the character as a major player in sequels, as well as the possibility that he is following Newt. Maybe Scamander will be the one to help him control his abilities:
"I don't think [Newt will be at] the heart of all of [the sequels]. I think he'll be part — so will Tina, Queenie and Jacob — will be part of the next one. And Credence and Grindelwald. I think they will be the main players."

Describing the context of the deleted scene he explained furthermore about Credence's agenda:
"[Credence] getting on a boat, maybe a boat with Newt, maybe not, and heading off out of New York."
Following the timeline, we do find out that Newt will be heading to Paris for the sequel, which takes place two years later from its predecessor. Will Credence causing a disturbance gain the attention of the great Albus Dumbledore? Newt's relationship with the transfiguration teacher would not make the possibility far fetched. Hopefully these answers will be answered when the sequel debuts on November 16, 2018.
