When it comes to stock selection, two questions are always on the top of my head: (1) Is there a simple way to find out how good a business is? At least I must be able to identify stocks that I should not invest in. If I can do this in a visual manner from balance sheet data it would be awesome. (2) Is there a way I can identify a good business from price information alone?
The Earnings Power Box by Hewitt Heiserman Jr is the answer to the first question (in my opinion of course) and low volatility investing is the answer to the second. In this article, I present the Earnings Power Box graphs for the top 10 stocks of Nifty Quality Low Volatility 30 Index based on the free stock analysis spreadsheet to value stocks in multiple ways!
As readers may be aware, I am a fan of strategic indices, also known as smart beta indices, also known as factor-based indices. Factor investing is when one or more criterion like alpha, quality, low volatility, value are used to build a basket of stocks. This could simply be an individual stock portfolio or an index on which a mutual fund or ETF is based on.
- Are Nifty Smart Beta (strategic) Indices better than the Nifty Next 50?
- Low volatility stock investing: Does it work? Higher returns at lower risk?
Momentum investing where stocks with a recent price increase is also a type of factor investing: Momentum Stock Investing in India: Does it work? At least in the large cap segment, there is a strong correlation between momentum and low volatility investing.
What is NIFTY Quality Low-Volatility 30 Index?
This has 30 stocks from NIFTY 100 and NIFTY Midcap 50 indices. Stocks with low price volatility in the last 365 days and higher profitability (ROE), lower leverage (debt to equity) and stabler earnings (EPS growth) are part of the index.
These are the top stocks of this index as on May 31st, 2019
- HDFC Bank Ltd. 5.82
- Hindustan Unilever Ltd. 5.00
- ITC Ltd. 4.91
- Wipro Ltd. 4.66
- Infosys Ltd. 4.61
- Britannia Industries Ltd. 4.49
- Asian Paints Ltd. 4.47
- Tata Consultancy Services Ltd. 4.27
- Marico Ltd. 4.00
- Housing Development Finance Corporation 3.79
The stocks in red (50% of the top 10) are also part of the Nifty 100 Low Volatility 30 Index – 30 stocks from Nifty 100 with low price volatility in the last 365 days. I could have just gone with the low volatility index for this study but figured another factor like quality is a bit more aesthetically appealing!
What is Hewitt Heiserman Jr.'s Earnings Power Box?
This is a plot of two metrics: the Defensive EPS (earnings per share) vs Enterprising EPS. The idea is to spot where a company falls in.
This is based on the Earnings Power Valuation Model (doc file) and it was developed into an Excel calculator by Rs. Srivatsan. His guest post is a good starting point to understand the idea: It's Earnings That Count: Forget the next Infy; Can you identify the next Satyam?
Srivatsan has defined enterprising and defensive EPS as follows:
Enterprising EPS = (Enterprising Income)/(Shares Outstanding)
Defensive EPS = (Defensive Income)/(Shares Outstanding)
Enterprising Income = Net Income – (15% x total capital)
15% here is the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) and is an expected return. You can modify this for each FY and for each stock in the free stock analysis spreadsheet
15% x total capital = enterprising interest.
Defensive Income = Free Cash Flow – change in working capital since last FY.
For more commentary, see Pros & Cons of Finding Stocks with Earnings Power for Long-Term Profits.
This method was earlier used by Lokesh to identify 50 stocks with solid earnings power: Ability to self-fund and create value
So once we plot the graph it is a simple matter to check in which quadrant the data points lie and how it has changed with each financial year. In the graphs below, the year refers to March 31st of the corresponding financial year.
HDFC Bank
Hindustan Unilever
Britannia Industries
Asian Paints
Tata Consultancy Services
Housing Development Finance Corporation
- HDFC Bank: For conservative investors, generates cash but not above weighted average cost of capital
- Hindustan Unilever: Great business with authentic earnings power
- ITC: Great business with authentic earnings power
- Wipro: Same as HDFC bank
- Infosys: Same as HUL, ITC (almost)
- Britannia Industries: As Infy
- Asian Paints: Same as HUL. ITC
- Tata Consultancy Services: Same as HUL. ITC
- Marico: Has moved to a better spot in recent years
- Housing Development Finance Corporation: More aggressive than the rest but not a bad buy per se
I hope you would agree that factor investing and a simple price based investing is a wonderful way to spot good businesses without worrying balance sheet jargon. Naturally, it would not be fool-proof but is a simple way to buy stocks without breaking our heads.

Soft set is a parameterized family of subsets defined over a universe associated with a set of parameters.
The definition of soft set is given below.
Definition 1(Molodtsov, 1999): A pair (F, E) is called a soft set over U iff F is a mapping of E into the set of all subsets of the universal set U; i.e.F: E → P(U)(1)
In other words, a soft set over U is a parameterised family of subsets of the universe U. For e ∈ E, F(e) can be called as the set of e-approximate elements of the soft set (F, E). So, a soft set can be represented as a collection of approximations. The parameter part of the approximation is called as predicate and for each parameter in E and the set containing all the elements of F(e) is called the value set of e in (F, E).
The pair (U, E) is often regarded as a soft universe. A parameter can be anything adverbial for the elements, such as a number, word, phrase or a sentence which can describe the value set more appropriately.
Game Theory: The study of mathematical models of conflict and cooperation between intelligent rational decision-makers.
Choice Function: Choice function is a mapping which associates a set of strategies with a given situation.
Payoff Function: Payoff function is used for modeling human behavior. Payoff function for a player is a mapping from the cross-product of players strategy spaces to the players set of payoffs.
Fuzzy Set: Fuzzy sets are an extension of the classical notion of sets whose elements have degrees of membership.
S-Function (Soft Function): It is a payoff function defined using notion of soft set.
Soft Game: A game using soft payoff functions.
Soft Set: Soft set is a parameterized family of subsets defined over a universe associated with a set of parameters.
Nash Equilibrium: It is a concept to find out the solution of a non cooperative game involving two or more players in game theory.

subset: commoncrawl

Example text
To judge from O'Casey's own bitter comments afterwards, the play was certainly greeted with a mixed response, particularly on the first night, which the playwright himself attended; and at the end of the performance, he avowed in Inislifallen, Fare Thee Well: The audience received the little play in dead silence, in a silence that seemed to have a point of shock in its centre. Not even a cold clap of a hand anywhere. They all got up from their seats, and silently filed out of the theatre. He was the one and only playwright to have had a play received in silence by an Abbey audience ...
Late in 1920, shortly after his mother's death, O'Casey moved into a room at Mountjoy Square (the scene in the play is Hilljoy Square), which he shared with a Micheal O'Maolain (Michael Mullen), the original inspiration for Seumas Shields; and although Davoren is in part personification of the younger playwright, some of the attitudes and wisecracks voiced by Shields reflect those of the playwright himself. 20 A Guide to O'Casey's Plays Shortly before he died, O'Casey's former lodging associate published an article in Irish in Feasta (Bealtaine, 1955) describing his life with O'Casey and the Black and Tan raid that took place on their tenement on Good Friday, 1921.
I know the Bible from cover to cover, Mr Davoren, an' that's more than some in this house could say. And what does the Holy 24 A Guide to O'Casey's Plays Scripture say about woman? It says, "The woman shall be subject to her husband", an I'll see that Mrs Grigson keeps the teachin' av the Holy Book in the letter an' in the spirit. If you're ever in trouble, Mr Davoren, an' Grigson can help - I'm your man -have you me? The image of imp in a bottle is no deterrent to further pantomimic farce, and, oblivious that the house is under surveillance - and surrounded by English soldiers- Grigson breaks out into a drunken dirge, proclaiming his Ulster loyalties by bellowing out, 'Erin's Orange Lily 0'.

British Airways is to resume flights to Pakistan more than 10 years after a deadly terror attack at the Marriott Hotel in the capital Islamabad.
The airline pulled out of the country in the aftermath of the bomb blast which killed 54 people - including six British citizens - and injured many more in September 2008.
From 2 June, BA will run three flights per week from Heathrow to the new Islamabad International Airport, making it the only Western carrier to serve Pakistan.
The widely-used Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft has been selected for the journeys, which BA believes will prove popular with the British Pakistani community who want to see relatives.
British high commissioner to Pakistan, Thomas Drew, described the announcement as "excellent news for both countries" and said BA was joining an "increasing number of British companies doing business in Pakistan".
"The links between Britain and Pakistan are already extraordinary, from culture and cricket to people, politics and education," he added.
"I see this launch as a vote of confidence in the future of those links, and of course a reflection of the great improvements in the security situation in Pakistan in recent years.
"The return of BA will give a particular boost to our growing trade and investment links."
Last year, the Pentagon said that the mastermind behind the 2008 attack had been killed in an airstrike in Afghanistan.
Qari Yasin had ties with the Pakistani Taliban terror group and also formulated an attack on the Sri Lankan cricket team bus in Lahore in 2009, which killed six policemen, two civilians and wounded six of the players.

A Close Shave? Logbook Loans Guide to Lawn Mowers
"There's always been Ethel" begins the acclaimed Genesis song "I Know What I Like". But do you remember the reference to the lawnmower? "Me I'm just a lawnmower, you can tell me by the way I walk" ……
Lawnmower technology has progressed enormously since that song was released back in 1973 . So if you are planning to invest in a lawnmower any time soon, where do you start? What kind of products are available and which are the best?
How to choose your lawnmower
First and foremost you need to think how you'll be using your lawnmower. This will help you to filter the available options to find the perfect one.
You need to consider:
- The size of your lawn: smaller areas would do better with a compact, lightweight mower whereas a more robust and powerful lawn mower is better for larger gardens. Larger gardens also benefit from a lawnmower with a blade with a greater cutting width i.e. that is able to cut a wider strip of grass at a time.
- Storage: the availability and dimensions of your storage area also need to be taken into account so that the lawnmower you purchase can fit and is easy to remove.
- Power: if you are buying a lawnmower that needs power you need to consider the availability and reachability of power to your lawn.
Types of lawnmower
There are several different types of lawnmowers. The main ones are:
- Rotary: these are a versatile lawnmower available in both powered and cordless models. They feature a disc that horizontally rotates to cut the grass, and are able to cut any type of lawn.
- Hover: these glide over the grass, raised off the lawn by a cushion of air. Some feature a grass cutting box.They are light and easy to manoeuvre, though best suited to short grass.
- Ride-on: there are two types of ride on mower: lawn riders and lawn tractors. Lawn riders are smaller and easy to manoeuvre. Lawn tractors are more suitable for sloping lawns, irregular surfaces and longer grass.
- Hand-push: this is the most traditional type of lawnmower. It has no power source: its momentum is created solely by manual pushing. The pushing causes blades to rotate that then cut the grass.
- Robotic/automatic: these are the latest development in lawnmower technology. They are battery operated lawn mowers that before first usage need to be set up with the boundaries of your garden. Thereafter you can set it going (either manually or timed) and your lawn will be cut for you.
Using your lawnmower effectively
Whatever type of lawnmower you choose, it will only achieve good results if you use it effectively. This means getting into a regular garden maintenance routine to ensure that your grass is cut as often as it needs to be. See our recent article about Get Your Garden ready for Summer for more information.
You also need to maintain your lawn mower regularly to keep it in its best condition. make sure that after every use you:
- Clear away grass and any other debris: in particular you need to check for stones and grit.
- Check for any damage such as loose nuts or bolts, or frayed wires.
- Check that the blades are still sharp, and sharpen as needed.
- If you have a ride-on or hand-push mower they will use oil and this needs to be changed at least once a year.
- Store your lawnmower carefully, keeping it upright and ensuring that nothing is resting on it that could cause damage.
Good luck with finding the right lawnmower! We hope that, as in the Genesis song above, these tips help you to know what you like, and like what you know – and that your garden looks wonderful this summer.

SOLON, Ohio– Several communities experienced whiteout conditions throughout the day on Tuesday.
Aurora Road in Solon was blanketed by heavy, white snowflakes for the greater part of Tuesday afternoon.
"It was pretty slow this morning. Even though there wasn't all that much snow. But that's typically how it is for first snow, people getting used to it and taking it easy," said Joshua Heyka of Solon.
The lake effect snow bands hit the snowbelt communities, too. Geauga County is under a lake effect snow warning until midnight.
A lake effect snow advisory is in effect for Lake, Ashtabula Portage and Trumbull counties– also until midnight.
"The roads are really slushy. I thought I was going to crash a little while ago when I was on 271," Sharon Polakoff of Cortland.
Some areas could see up to five to seven inches of snow.
"It's been a pretty cold, snowy day. The snow has been off and on all day. Just wet," said De'Leon Barbee of Solon.
ODOT warns drivers to leave with plenty of time and slow down.
The ground is already wet and slick, and with the additional snow, it could be a slow commute home.
Share your snow photos and look at others here.

CPAM is one or more benign (non-cancerous) lumps (masses) or cysts of abnormal lung tissue usually prenatally diagnosed with US during pregnancy. They can range from small to very large in size where they may (in 10% of children) cause significant complications during fetal intrauterine life.
The exact etiology is unknown, but it is secondary to abnormal development of part of the lung tissue which will never function normally.
Most infants with CPAM are diagnosed by prenatal maternal ultrasound, and many do not require any intervention. At Nicklaus Children's Hospital Fetal Care Center, we will be able to assess the lesion based on the US. Often, in addition, we perform state of the art maternal MRI which allows for accurate assessment of the fetal lungs which allows us to predict the severity of the symptoms after birth. Fetal intervention is reserved for severe cases where fetal hydrops (excess fluid around the fetal organs) is present. After birth most lesions are asymptomatic and can be dealt with outside of the newborn period.
Surgical removal of the part of the lung that contains the CPAM considered to be the standard of care by most centers in the United States. In our center at Nicklaus Children's Hospital we employ the most advanced minimally invasive surgical techniques to remove the affected part of the lung (frequently around 3 to 6 months of age).
After the surgical intervention, the baby will be closely monitored and the duration of hospital stay, usually a couple of days, varies based on the extent of the resection and the surgical approach. Most children have no untoward outcomes and go on to lead normal lives.

The Intersection of Personalization & Privacy: How Publishers Should Communicate with Consumers
Consumers expect to get whatever they want, whenever they want it, delivered how they want it. You can credit (or blame) Amazon for setting expectations so high, but those same expectations extend to online publishing.
Increasingly, publishers must personalize to thrive — a mission that can be at odds with new privacy mandates.
What Exactly Do Consumers Expect?
Virtually every publisher now promises customized content, but that promise can mean a few different things. On the one hand, it's a promise to deliver a certain type of content that's tailored to your reader's individual interests. But it also means a promise to deliver content according to that person's consumption preferences for device/channel (desktop, mobile, or tablet/website, social, or email).
Publishers deliver on these promises through a variety of features. Notifications that push to a consumer's preferred device are one popular way to meet audiences on the most personal level. Likewise, social integration (both as commenting platforms and logins) is now seen as essential because it not only customizes the experience, but also makes it friction-less.
But, as publishers are well aware, building these features and executing personalization strategies takes significant resources that aren't necessarily part of the core business.
Brands Are Doing the Same Thing with More Resources
While brands and publishers typically sit on opposite sides of the media ecosystem, their challenge is the same when it comes to personalization. Publishers and advertisers must both deliver the right message to the right person, at the right time. Tellingly, brands and publishers have tackled this challenge in different ways.
By and large, brands and bigger media companies have taken this kind of work in-house. But most small and medium-sized publishers have gone in the opposite direction, turning to agencies and vendors to navigate the complexities of data analytics, personalization, and monetization.
These are technical and costly undertakings. Small publishers may struggle because of limited expertise, but even big publishers may prefer to invest in content rather than building in-house technology. And just finding, vetting, and holding vendors accountable is a challenge for many publishers.
But regardless of how publishers solve for personalization, the brand context is important because well-resourced brands are setting the bar for consumer expectations here. As privacy compliance adds layers of complexity to personalization, brands and publishers will have to adapt to perform the same mission, albeit with varying levels of resources.
Personalization Is the Crucible of Privacy Chaos
To understand how personalization and privacy intersect, start with a fundamental question: How do I personalize something for you if I don't know anything about you?
The question illustrates the tension between personalization and privacy. The more consumers share, the greater the level of personalization. Of course, the opposite is also true. If you don't want to share anything personal, be prepared to accept the generic experience.
While that may sound like common sense, the reality is that publishers are stuck in a bind. You must reconcile the chaos that comes from a patchwork of state-mandated privacy laws — including California's CCPA, plus laws in 10 other states — with consumer expectations that value privacy on the one hand and expect seamless, personalized experiences on the other. To be clear, there's no "right answer," in part because just as personalization preferences vary by individual, so, too, do our feelings about privacy.
Publishers, perhaps better than any other stakeholder, are uniquely positioned to lead this conversation. After all, consumers seek out publishers because they are trusted sources. But when it comes to explaining the tradeoffs between personalization and privacy, publishers usually fall back on their lawyers. That can be a mistake. Instead of relying fully on lawyers, publishers should communicate with their consumers in a clear, authentic voice. Here are some suggestions:
- Speak in your brand's voice. Typically, conversations that touch on the tradeoff between personalization and privacy get off to a bad start because privacy policies are written in a foreign language called legalese. Using your brand voice is more effective because it's authentic. If your brand is edgy or sarcastic, talk about privacy with an edgy or sarcastic tone. Two examples: 1) Fitbit's privacy policy is written in easy to navigate bullet points for users who may not have the time to take a deep-dive into the brand's Terms of Service; 2) Apple's privacy, which is quite in-depth, is written in the same easy-to-understand language Apple uses for its product copy.
- Tell people what information you want and why you need it. A concept like "personally identifiable information" means a lot to lawyers, but it's not something consumers think about in their daily lives. Instead, make specific asks for email, social media, or cookies and then explain why you need that information. Be clear that your product might not work as advertised unless the user shares some private information. The key is context. If you want movie screening times "near you," for example, we need to know your location. Instead of just asking for a user's location, say something like, "Tell us where you are so we can find a movie near you."
- Explain how the consumer benefits in concrete terms. If you're using language like "so we can best serve you…" you're being too vague. Instead, state the value proposition directly. Explain how you want to serve the consumer by telling them what they can expect — content tailored to their interests, timely notifications, etc. When you do that, you empower the consumer to make their own informed choices about the tradeoffs between privacy and personalization.
- If you plan to share someone's information with a third-party, be upfront about it. Reserving the right to share consumer data with third-party partners sounds like legalese, but it also sounds like you're hiding something. There are valid reasons to share data with others. Tell consumers why you're sharing their data, who you're sharing it with, and how the opt-out works.
Navigating these delicate waters will be challenging, but putting the time and energy into incorporating your brand identity into privacy compliance will pay for itself in the long run. Your users will appreciate the effort and better personalization, and you will (hopefully) have stronger user connections and fewer people opting out.

New evidence reveals that Bashar Al-Assad's brutal regime is committing war crimes by deliberately targeting schools and hospitals in the last Syrian rebel stronghold of Idlib. More than 20 have been bombed, shelled and destroyed this month alone by Assad and his allies Iran and Russia.
Despite previous promises and assurances by the UN Security Council to protect civilians, it appears that the same kind of war crimes that were carried out in Aleppo, Eastern Ghouta and Raqqa are being repeated in Idlib as Assad's ruthless army and its allies attempt an all-out offensive in the province.
Harrowing eyewitness accounts and footage given to MEMO by journalists on the ground continue to expose atrocities committed by Syrian forces and the aftermath of the devastating barrel bombs dropped on civilian areas. The footage coincides with a meeting of the UN Security Council which is fully aware that more than three million Syrian civilians are preparing to flee towards the Turkish border.
While reporting from Idlib for MEMO earlier this year, I found that the fragile ceasefire brokered by Turkey was barely holding with Russian aircraft circling overhead. Now, though, it seems that it has disintegrated completely as Assad and his allies attempt to claw back the final piece of rebel-held territory.
READ: Regime attacks kill 9 in Syria's Idlib
Despite the use of chemical weapons, cluster, barrel and an assortment of other types of bombs, as well as missiles and artillery shells, it seems that victory is not being delivered on a plate for Assad, as has been predicted by some defence experts. One of the reasons for this is the coming together of rebel forces who have now formed a loose coalition. This show of unity in the sprawling province, which is about the size of neighbouring Lebanon, has already produced a number of small victories for the rebels.
US journalist Bilal Abdul Kareem, one of the founders of On The Ground News based in the province, discusses the full extent of the power-sharing among rebels in this briefing given to MEMO. Abdul Kareem, who has been targeted many times since he first began covering the conflict, was injured, as he covered the frontline action in Habeet village outside Khan Shaykhoon last week along with other journalists, including colleagues from Sky News.
"I guess when you're the only black journalist on the ground in rebel-held Syria then I'm an easy target for the Russian drones to spot," he said. Such gallows humour about his own vulnerability might well become a trademark.
The recent regime and Russian attacks have targeted civilians in Kafranbel, Ma'arat, Hurma, Sheikh Mustafah, Ma'ar, Zaita and Kansafra. "These are all small villages or towns in southern rural Idlib," explained Abdul Kareem, "containing nothing but civilians and civilian properties."
OPINION: Has Turkey sold out Idlib to Russia?
Journalists have been targeted by the Assad regime before. Earlier this year, a US court ruled that American journalist Marie Colvin was murdered by the regime during an artillery attack on Homs in 2012. She was not just another random casualty of war. Following an exhaustive inquiry, Judge Amy Jackson ruled that she was targeted deliberately as part of the regime's policy to target independent journalists, whom it considers to be "enemies of the state". The court in Washington was told that such violence is ongoing.
While it is unlikely that Colvin's family will ever benefit from the court's award of $302 million in punitive damages against Assad, his brother Maher and their associates, the verdict opens the way for the seizure of some or all of an estimated $1 billion in Assad family assets salted away around the world, some of which have already been identified and frozen. The premeditated murder of Colvin should now also form part of the ongoing UN-led criminal investigation of the Syrian President, which seems to have stalled of late.
It's not just Syrians or journalists who are being targeted by the regime, by the way. Around 350 Westerners are in Idlib helping local civilians rebuild and develop what's left of their country beyond the grip of the government. Using their professional skills in medicine, education, engineering, science and media, they have networked extensively with Syrians on the ground and charities back home, as well as amongst themselves, to rebuild and open schools, hospitals, playgrounds, and community hubs to help widows and orphans.
READ: US says signs Syria may be using chemical weapons, warns of quick response
Most of these ex-pats — or "foreigners" as the Syrians call them — arrived in the war-torn country more than five years ago "for humanitarian purposes". Their decision to stay has cost some of them their British citizenship because of the simple but toxic government narrative in Westminster that anyone leaving Britain to go to Syria can only be fighters or Daesh brides.
I met some of the founders of the Unity Project during my visit to Idlib in February, and was told by one that there are no fighters in the group: "Our only motivation is to help Syrian people rebuild their own country." Sadly, rather than being applauded for their work, which has convinced many Syrian civilians to remain in their country, some individuals have been punished by the British government, which has revoked their passports. This has not been lost on the Syrian refugees in Idlib; if Western governments think so little of their own citizens, they reason, then what chance do they themselves have of surviving the 21st century's most devastating civil war to date?
The UN's head of Political and Peacebuilding Affairs, Rosemary Di Carlo, has warned that, "If the escalation continues, and the offensive pushes forward, we risk catastrophic humanitarian fallout and threats to international peace and security." Earlier this month, Di Carlo gave a cautious welcome to the announcement of a new Turkish-Russian working group, convened to try and salvage the Idlib military buffer-zone deal reached between the two countries last September.
"There is no bigger friend to the Syrian people than Turkey," Abdul Kareem pointed out, "and no one understands legacy better than President Erdogan. Ordinary Syrian people are turning to him as their last hope but Turkey is being squeezed from all sides. Russian gas heats Turkish homes in the winter months and, while the relationship between Ankara and Washington is not great, Turkey is a NATO ally of the Americans, although it's not being treated like one. The situation is complex."
OPINION: The Syrian regime's slogan 'Assad or we burn the country' must not become reality
If Idlib is raised to the ground it will trigger the worst humanitarian disaster of the war so far as the province, with a population of one million before the war, is now home to three million civilians. There is simply nowhere else for them to run unless Turkey, which has already given sanctuary to 3.6 million Syrian refugees, reopens the border.
The brutal reality is that the three million innocents in Idlib have somehow become bargaining chips at the UN Security Council. Their fate lies in the hands of the 15 members of the council whose primary responsibility is supposed to be the maintenance of international peace and security. What are the chances of these self-serving leaders putting aside their egos and power games to come together for the sake of so many civilians? With Russia holding a veto in the Security Council, the odds are not good, but other means can surely be brought to bear on the Assad regime to end its war crimes, including the credible threat of prosecution at the International Criminal Court. As the people in Idlib await their fate, the world has a duty to act to save them. Is that too much to ask?

In this study, levels of phosphorus, nitrogen, and PH from eight uniform soil samples from the Santa Monica Mountain swere assessed. Our first testing group contained four uniform samples of soil, which were tested under regular drought conditions. Our second testing group contained four identical samples, which we tested under regular drought conditions and also exposed to fire. Our hypothesis was that soil after wildfire will have different amounts of phosphorous, nitrogen, and Ph. Our research found that average phosphorus uptake in unburned samples vs. burned samples were significantly different at a P<0.0001. Nitrogen and pH levels however, were not found significantly different between burned and unburned samples.

The U-S General is in charge of the anti-terrorism war in Afghanistan says he is pleased with the progress of the military campaign, but a great deal of work still remains to be done.
General Tommy Franks spoke at a news conference today (Wednesday) in Uzbekistan.
He said he could not predict how long it would take for the besieged northern Afghan city of Kunduz to fall. But he said in the end the U-S led coalition will prevail.
General Franks said the coalition also needs to complete its work in Kanadahar, where Taleban forces are still holding out. He added that the most important goal is to complete the destruction of Osama bin Laden's al-Qaida terrorist network.
General Franks said that on Tuesday he visited Bagram air base, north of Kabul, for talks with the leaders of the opposition Northern Alliance.
Meanwhile, a spokesman for Taleban leader Mullah Omar told a news conference in Afghanistan that the Taleban will continue to defend the territory they hold to the death. He said it is their religious duty. The spokesman also said the Taleban no longer has any communication or relationship with Osama Bin Laden.
U-S defense officials said Tuesday as many as 15-hundred Marines will likely be sent into Afghanistan to join the hunt for al-Qaida leaders. The United States has offered a 25-million dollar reward for Osama bin Laden or information leading to his capture.
The Pakistan-based Afghan Islamic Press (news agency) says U-S warplanes are continuing to bomb targets in and around Kandahar and Kunduz.
Opposition forces are keeping Taleban fighters in both cities under siege and are negotiating for their surrender.
In Kunduz, several thousand foreign fighters - mainly Chechens, Pakistanis and Arabs - are fighting alongside the Taleban. The opposition alliance says the foreign fighters appear to be planning to fight to the death rather than surrender and face possible reprisal killings. They are also said to be killing Afghan Taleban troop who want to give themselves up.
A Pentagon spokesman says that, if asked,U-S forces would stop bombing specific locations to allow the talks to move forward. Tens of thousands of civilians are said to be trapped inside the city of Kunduz.

Well I bought a new Goldring E3 today and I installed it as per the Manuel says, used a scale for tracking weight (2.0g) and a protractor for alignment.
In the middle of the first album I decided to play the stylus broke and collapsed onto the record. Not sure what happened, if I did something or if it's a faulty stylus.
have you guys ever had a similar experience or know what might of happened?

The biggest problem with the growing tiny-house movement, says advocate Bruce Cook, is that there isn't anywhere to put the little homes.
But Riverview RV Park & Campground west of Loveland is working to solve that by creating spots for six tiny houses.
Cook and his wife, Holly Lynn Cook, manage the 120-space park where they live in a tiny house and are getting a second tiny house ready to rent.
The campground on the banks of the Big Thompson River has room for about six tiny houses in a first phase. The owner of the campground, Roy Youree, is encouraging people to tow their little homes up and stay for as long as they want.
The park's first rental house should be ready later this month and will give people who are interested in tiny-house living a chance to experience it, Holly Lynn Cook said.
A Lyons mobile home park that washed out in the 2013 floods has been recreated as the WeeCasa Tiny Home Hotel, which serves as both a hotel and a showroom for Colorado's burgeoning tiny house industry.
Guests can spend a night or two in one of WeeCasa's tiny houses, whether they're there to try before they buy or to just check off a bucket-list item. The tiny house hotel also offers regularly scheduled tours for anyone interested in checking out their units, most of which were built by Colorado-based manufacturers.

The dreadful decline of alternative energy stocks in 2011 (notably Wilderhill: -52% y/y)
mirrored the dramatic decline in earnings momentum and is proof of just how correlated this sector is to global macroeconomic growth and to tight credit conditions.
In some ways it wasn't surprising. One striking theme throughout last year was the commoditization of PV solar, LED and wind equipment. Barriers to entry have fallen away and consolidation is now beginning (with bankruptcies increasing in number and M&A just beginning). Reduced equipment costs–translating into higher ROIs for projects–is excellent news for those developers fortunate enough to find project funding.
Another theme last year was a new emphasis on maintaining strong balance sheets for management in many companies, particularly towards the end of the year. Survival is one reason mentioned. Some companies even wrote off inventories and set aside finished goods to sell to their best customers at attractive prices when demand recovers.
The volatility of markets in general in 2011, and especially of these characteristically high beta stocks, was enough to take one's breath away.
Entering 2012, this industry looks to be significantly leveraged to any hint of positive developments on the global macro front and in credit markets.
Key focal points for 2012:
–Macro economic trends: Sharp falls in share prices are already pricing in poor Q4 earnings and another trying year in 2012. Better US growth and above all, better Chinese macro statistics would be very positive surprises. The alternative energy industry is becoming more leveraged to demand from emerging markets. China alone has positioned itself to become the world's leading market for renewables.
–Access to funding: As solar, LED and wind equipment leaders have repeatedly emphasized since last year, the number of players must diminish. Bankruptcies – like those of solar players in Germany and the US, and of tier 2/3 LED manufacturers in China– are beginning to multiply. Recall the Chinese government's official goal to cut back the number of wind equipment producers. Cross-border M&A has only just begun.
Access to project finance became crucial last year when utility-scale projects started to take off. Solar Millennium was a notable victim, blaming cheap PV, but it was in fact unable to fund the giant Blythe project. Utility-scale PV will account for over 40% of PV capacity in 2015 with China, US and India best suited for such projects, according to Dupont PV Solutions. The same goes for wind, especially offshore. One developer, particularly cautious when choosing wind projects, considers that the scarcity of capital gives his group a competitive advantage, since with fewer people competing, the returns have improved. Thanks to attractive returns, PV and wind power installations grew sharply in 2011 and even overshot targets, +34% and +22.3%, respectively y/y.
–Company fundamentals : The market will again reward earnings momentum. Expectations are low for Q411 and FY 2012 but early 2012 may bring good news. Solar PV installations may rebound in April, according to an IHS report. Wind farm installations in China should reach 40GW in early 2012 (according to 12FY Plan).
'Quality' will again be an important tool for screening. The winners will be cost leaders with the strongest business models, best cashflow generation, and most attractive valuations (Garp). Solar, LED, batteries, biofuel, smart grid and wind sectors have all fallen to particularly attractive levels relative to their growth rates (PEGs of less than 1).
–Politics: Pessimism already reigns regarding government support in this tough economic environment. US solar cash grants expired at the end of 2011 and the US incandescent bulb phase-out is now in doubt; Spain's new government is expected to cut all renewable energy support; import duties for Chinese PV have been introduced in India and in the US; and so on. With such a bleak backdrop any change to more supportive policies should see a positive 'over'-reaction. This was true in the carbon credit market in December.
In contrast, if China's incandescent phase-out fails to stimulate LED sales because LEDs are still too expensive, or China's new solar power tariff regime fails to increase domestic demand, the negative reaction could be similarly exaggerated.
–Technology issues: While the market is unlikely to be adventurous, it will welcome 'strategic' biofuel breakthroughs with readily captive markets (like air transport for Solazyme in 2011), and new technologies that reduce costs such as cheaper and non flammable storage, cheaper LEDs, EVs (reported by the FT as getting to a slow start due to cost issues), and smart grid technologies ($80-160/year of savings for a smart meter doesn't seem to be enough to motivate consumers).
And what do we see beyond 2012? Near-term, the renewables industry will grow as costs fall and stimulate demand from emerging economies that have no energy alternatives and from developed economies concerned about energy security. Long-term, the IEA estimates renewable energy demand will grow 40% by 2035 (from 2011) and will require huge infrastructure investments to meet consumption.

Guitar: Chale Aana Chords with Capo by Armaan Malik | Dede Pyar De
Love is a bitter and sweet emotion. While there will be happiness and rays of sunshine somedays there will also be sadness and rainy days occasionally. This emotion has been melodiously captured in Chale Aana from De De Pyar De. Sung by the mellifluous Armaan Malik, it has been penned by Kunaal Vermaa and composed by Amaal Malik. The symphony has been created by a variety of exotic instruments like the flutes, the acoustic and the electric guitars, the live bass, the dholaks, the tablas, the violins and the violas and the strings. The guitar chords are very simple and can be picked up by the amateurs easily. The progression of the chords is subtle and harmonious. The rhythm is very groovy due to a signature 4/4 beat and a moderately paced tempo. The melody is a soothing rendition.
The original key scale is F#m while to serve the beginners with the easy chords we have used the guitar capo on the second fret so the chords of the song becomes Em, D, C, Am, & Bm.

More about the song: We often have to part with our beloved due to various situations. Even if the parting is mutual, separations are always pathetic and agonising. This has been beautifully captured in the conversational and the touching lyrics of this track. Kunaal Vermaa has done a wonderful job in expressing those unsaid words into a melody so soulful. Amaal Malik is truly a maestro in all the senses. His creative genius is beyond praise, as with so many beautiful instruments he has created a piece of art that is not only mesmerising but also very refreshing. He has composed a beautiful contemporary fusion by mixing and matching the various instruments. And what adds further charm to this melody is the dulcet and euphonious voice of Armaan Malik. His gentle and smooth vocals are indeed spell binding. The passion that he brings out in his voice adds to that heart rendering feel of this serenading number.

With President Donald Trump's full 2018 budget proposal slated for release tomorrow, the leaks and rumors have already started making headlines. Big cuts to the social safety net, slashing Medicaid and opening the door to other limits are on the table, The Washington Post reported Sunday.
The cuts to the social safety net come at a moment when federal spending on low-income households is back down to its historic average of 2 percent, according to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities. At the same time, the largest demographic that benefits from that spending are white individuals without a college degree — who overwhelmingly supported Trump in the 2016 election.
Among the favorite targets for reduction or reform: the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, also known as food stamps. The program currently costs around $75 billion a year. An average of 44 million people received SNAP benefits in 2016, down from a peak of 47 million in 2013, the Post reports.
House Speaker Paul Ryan has previously proposed expanding work requirements within the SNAP program. As I've reported, such an expansion is needless and potentially harmful. According to the USDA, more than 75 percent of households that include a person who is able to work had a job in the year before or after receiving SNAP. Many who receive the assistance are children or elderly.
Few specific details have been revealed about how SNAP would change. One possibility, turning SNAP into a block grant program, would end the blanket entitlement status it currently holds. Under a block grant program, instead of automatically allocating SNAP benefits to eligible families who apply, the federal government would divvy out a pot of money to each state based on some kind of population or need-based formula, and states would have the flexibility to design their own food assistance programs.
The block grant reform has happened before.
In 1996, when "welfare-to-work" requirements and the Earned Income Tax Credit were first introduced, the nation's cash assistance program shifted from a blanket entitlement to a block grant, known as Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, or TANF. The results have been clear: a massive reduction in the program's ability to reach families in need.
When TANF was first instituted, cash assistance reached 68 out of 100 families living in poverty; in 2015 it only reached 23 out of 100, according to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities. In only five states is that ratio greater than 40 out of 100: Vermont, New York, Minnesota, Oregon and California. Fourteen states had ratios of 10 to 100 or less. Welfare has effectively disappeared from many places in the U.S., leaving 1.5 million households to live on $2 a day or less per person, as I've also reported.
Turning TANF into a block grant program also meant it would not expand automatically during a recession, as SNAP was able to expand, especially during the Great Recession. In fact, the base TANF block grant to each state has been frozen since 1996. It hasn't gone up at all, even as the nation's population has grown. In fact, due to inflation, its value has gone down by 30 percent.
SNAP could suffer that same fate as TANF, if it were converted into a block grant program.
And that may only be the tip of the iceberg that's coming to sink the social safety net and other programs, including those that support expanded opportunity to lift families out of poverty. Trump's Skinny Budget in March, meant to be a preview of this week's full budget proposal, put Community Development Block Grants, the Community Development Financial Institutions Fund, Section 4 grants that support community-driven planning, and more, on notice.

September-December is a great time here at Saar Fellowship; returning friends, new friends, new routines, a chance to ditch things from our lives that don't belong…although its the ninth month of the year, September always feels like a fresh start.
So far in Obadiah, we've seen that pride is a terrible thing (vv.1-4), and that we should not boast (vv.5-9). Today, we see that ignorance is not innocence, and knowing the right thing is only good if we do it (These verses are actually paralleled in Jeremiah 49, showing us that Jeremiah likely had Obadiah's prophecy before him in writing and in ministry.)
Because of the violence done to your brother Jacob,
shame shall cover you,
and you shall be cut off forever.
On the day that you stood aloof,
on the day that strangers carried off his wealth
and foreigners entered his gates
and cast lots for Jerusalem,
you were like one of them.
But do not gloat over the day of your brother
in the day of his misfortune;
do not rejoice over the people of Judah
in the day of their ruin;
do not boast
in the day of distress.
Do not enter the gate of my people
in the day of their calamity;
do not gloat over his disaster
in the day of his calamity;
do not loot his wealth
in the day of his calamity.
Do not stand at the crossroads
to cut off his fugitives;
do not hand over his survivors
in the day of distress.
We read here a series of judgements on Edom for standing by whilst Jacob (Israel) was attacked and didn't help, they knew they should have helped due to their shared ancestry, but they didn't.
They did nothing, then rejoiced in the distress of their neighbours, then took advantage of this, then joined in, and finally killed those trying to escape.
The pride and betrayal we read of are, sadly, very human conditions, and if we are honest, lurk within us all. They knew they should have helped, but didn't, and standing around whilst these terrible things happened and feigning ignorance of what was happening is simply not good enough.
So, are we the same?
Are we the same when we see people in distress? The parable of the good samaritan clearly shows us that our neighbour – the one we are to help – is the one with a need right in front of us, either spiritual or practical (Luke 10).
Today, then, let us not be like Edom, where there is a need let us be mindful and aware of it, let us do what we can do help, let us pull together as a house of living stones to help collectively if needed, but let us not pretend we are unaware of what is happening around us, because ignorance is not innocence.
Scriptures to think on today;
Hebrews 13:16
And do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased.
John 15:12
My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you.
Luke 12.48b
For everyone to whom much is given, from him much will be required; and to whom much has been committed, of him they will ask the more.

With this in mind, my proposal provides more resources for Child and Family Services, invests in education, protects reforms in Corrections, and balances the budget without raising taxes.
Excerpts from veto message: Nothing in current law prohibits hospitals, private donors, or other benefactors across the state from assisting those in need of care, regardless of their immigration status. The issue presented by LB 599 is whether or not $2.5 million from hard-working Nebraskans should be used each year to pay for prenatal services for women who broke the immigration laws. This issue should not be confused with prenatal services to low-income women--taxpayers already fund those services through Medicaid .
Legislative outcome: Brad Ashford voted YEA on bill passage; bill passed 31-15 on April 11; Governor vetoed on April 13; veto override on April 18.
Your Health and Human Services Committee has provided the state a series of recommendations to begin a conversation about how the courts, the Legislature and the Executive Branch can work together to develop a more collaborative, a more coordinated and a more comprehensive approach to protecting Nebraska's children.
Together, we need to bring stability to Nebraska's child welfare system. The focus should be on the future & on measurable results

Chinese State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi answers questions at a press conference on China's foreign policy and relations on the sidelines of the second session of the 13th National People's Congress in Beijing, capital of China, March 8, 2019. (Xinhua/Shen Bohan)
BEIJING, March 8 (Xinhua) -- The Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) is not a "debt trap" that some countries may fall into but an "economic pie" that benefits local population, Chinese State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi said Friday.
Wang made the remarks at a press conference on the sidelines of the country's annual legislative session.
"It is not a geopolitical tool, but a great opportunity for shared development," he added.
The initiative has become the world's largest platform for international cooperation and the most welcomed global public goods, he said, noting that a total of 123 countries and 29 international organizations have signed BRI agreements with China.
"They have cast a vote of support and confidence in the BRI," he said.
From the start, the BRI has followed the sound principle of consultation and cooperation for shared benefits, and it has created enormous opportunities for all participants, Wang said.
He cited a raft of examples. "Thanks to the BRI, east Africa now has its first expressway. Maldives has built its first inter-island bridge. Belarus is able to produce sedans. Kazakhstan is connected to the sea. Southeast Asia is constructing a high-speed railway. And Eurasian continent is benefiting from the longest distance freight train service."

4 Keys To Dominate On Video!
it works for you when you're not working.
500 million Facebook users watch videos EVERY SINGLE DAY.
When will you start taking it seriously?
Last week I watched a video by Gary V. In that video, he talked about not being in high school anymore. The reason he said that was because we still (as adults) value the opinions of others more than our own personal happiness.
Does this sound familiar...
- I don't want to get made fun of.
- I'm worried about what ________ will think.
- What if I mess up...
- I don't like what I look like or sound like.
If it doesn't sound familiar, it should...this is you.
This is the internal dialogue we have with ourselves every single time we consider doing a video...and for most, those thoughts cripple you and keep you from moving forward.
Not anymore!
The 4 keys to video...
1. Mindset.
2. Consistency.
3. Audience.
4. Content.
Over the next four blogs, I am going to break down these fours things in detail to help you fight through your quitting points and start taking advantage of the GREATEST marketing opportunity you have in your business...VIDEO!
So, of the four above...what is your greatest struggle?
Do you have a daily battle in your own mind?
Did you do it once or twice and then decide to stop?
Do you pick topics that are so vanilla that they attract no one?
Do you wake up with no clue what to talk about?
Don't feel bad. You are NORMAL! We all struggle with these exact questions.
The difference is, some have battled through the adversity to leverage video in our business for the better.
Here are a few tips for you before we dig into the 4 keys over the next couple weeks...
#1 - Don't overthink it. Your audience wants to see you. Plain and simple. They value your opinion. You may not think this...but I promise you, it's true. If you only do one thing, get out of your own way.
#2 - Stop introducing yourself at the beginning of videos. Think about it...if you go to coffee with a friend, do you walk in, shake their hand, and say "Hi, I'm __________, go to see you." Heck no! They'll think you're crazy. Your audience already knows who you are, keep it authentic by not announcing yourself. This alone will make you so much more authentic and positioned to influence than you were before.
#3 - Stop when you are out of value. I get asked all the time about the perfect length of video or how long is too long. My response...it's all about value. If you have 30 minutes of value, people will watch. If you have 3 minutes of value, keep it to 3 minutes. Plain and simple.
Soon we will jump into the 4 keys, but before then...implement these three times and watch your videos go to a new level!
If you have thoughts or questions, please reach out to me. You can find me on Facebook at Coach Kyle Draper. Talk to you guys soon! I hope you feel EMPWR'd!

One Another
In Scripture, there are over 59 "one another" verses. Such as, "Love one another" (John 13:34), "Honor one another above yourselves." (Romans 12:10), or ""Carry each other's burdens" (Galatians 6:2). Okay, so the last is not technically "one another", but in the Greek the same word ἀλλήλων is used. The concept is, as a Church family, we have a mutual responsibility to support one another. This is not to be done alone, but in community.
And quite frankly, though there is a measure of unity which can take place in a corporate gathering, the interaction described in these verses have to take place on a more person level as we encourage and love each other in a more tangible way.
This is where our Group Ministry comes alive and a pivotal part of spiritual health! Within the context of relationships, we come prepared to share the truths from God's Word, how we put these truths into practice, and what God is doing in our lives. This means that we need to be consistent, open, and real. And as we continue to practice these one another's, we will be the Body of Christ that He has designed us to be!

The tendency is to skip them. Or maybe at least skim them quickly and move on. We know that all Scripture is profitable, but those genealogies? "God really spoke to me in that long list of names I couldn't pronounce," said pretty much no one ever. Which makes it interesting, or at least odd, that Matthew starts his gospel this way. After all, this is the greatest story ever told. Why give people a reason to skip the beginning? It's probably too much to ask for you to stop and read Matthew 1:1-17 right now.

It was basically an organized riot. They filled the theater in Ephesus and the crowd was shouting, "Great is Artemis of the Ephesians! Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!" This mob is angry at Paul. Paul brought the gospel to Ephesus. He proclaimed it boldly. People received the gospel and they gave up their idol worship. And that stirred up the people of the city against Paul. How dare he cause people to stop worshipping Artemis. The crowd couldn't find Paul so they grabbed some of his known companions and drug them into the theater. This could get out of…Read More
It is truly one of my favorite missions quotes of all time. Some guy I don't know much about named Oswald J. Smith is given credit for it. Apparently guys named Oswald are good for quoting. Here is what he said: "We talk of the Second Coming; half the world has never heard of the first." Such a great reminder. Today, just as much as when he first said it. Over 6000 people groups are still unreached. Almost 3 billion people in the world have little to no access to the gospel. We just celebrated Christmas, and I hope you had a great one!…Read More
Hopefully by now you have seen the #Dare2Declare project we kicked off this December. If not, please don't admit it for your pride and our feelings. We have challenged The Tribe, which is well over 4000 strong these days, to help us train and mobilize the next generation by giving $10,000 before the end of 2018. Yes, $10,000 seems like a lot. Which is why we have divided it up. Everyone has a place where they could help us. Check out the chart below: This money will go straight towards the work of iGo in training our teams.

Your iGo trip is officially in the books. Your suitcase is unpacked (unless you are a Germany JSI and iGosian Airways took over your return flight and lost your luggage in or near Philly. In that case, just trust the process). Part of you misses your time overseas. Part of you wishes you were still there. Part of you can't believe that the trip went so quickly. Part of you, it seems, stayed overseas. So now what? It's always a good idea to find your answers in the Word. When he saw the crowds, he had compassion for them, because…Read More
