A little while back I put out post asking for mailbag questions and the response I got was wonderful, so thank you all for that. That ensures this will definitely happen again next month.
Before I jump into this, there are a few house cleaning things to take care of. First, I need a catchy name for this mailbag, so comment below if you have a name! Secondly, I only have space and time for a limited number of questions here, but I'll be going back to answer others that were asked in the original post. So if you don't see your question here, go back and check over the next couple days.
So, let's open the mailbag.
Do you have any favorite sleeper prospects in the system right now? Say, a pitcher and a position player that you think could see their stock take a big jump in 2020? Jack'sSmirkingRevenge
This is a good one. The first player that comes to mind is the pitcher with rising stock, and that is Griffin Roberts. I'm not exactly going out on a ledge here with Roberts, but his stock is down because his career has had trouble getting off the ground. I think his stock may rise the most of anyone in the Cardinals farm system. As for hitters Trejyn Fletcher has the tools to rise, I hesitantly think Conner Capel will be on the upswing as well. Fletcher is toolsy and I swear every time I've seen Capel hit a ball it's been loud contact...against right-handed pitching that is.
P.S. I know there was a call for stock trending downward too, but it's the offseason, let me be positive.
Where do you see the 3rd base trio starting the season? Montero Memphis or Springfield? Nunez Peoria or lower? Gorman Palm Beach or Springfield? -Oldman51
The Cardinals have been fairly aggressive with Elehuris Montero to this point. Even though his 2019 was marred by injury, his participation in the Arizona Fall League and inclusion on the 40-man tell me that he should start the year in Memphis. As for Nolan Gorman, I think there is still some things left to do in Palm Beach. I would anticipate that he start the year there, but quickly find his way to Springfield. Malcom Nunez shined in the DSL then struggled stateside. I think it would be smart to keep him in Johnson City, but a super aggressive placement in Peoria wouldn't totally shock me.
To recap, Montero to Memphis, Gorman to Palm Beach, Nunez to Johnson City to start the year if I were calling the shots.
Will Trackman technology change how prospects are evaluated/promoted/ ranked? -MattK
The simple answer here is that teams already have it and have for at least a couple years. I was working with the Toledo Mud Hens a couple years back and they were pulling spin rates of pitches. So yes, it does change it. The more information teams can have of their players the better and it will only improve how things are done. Baseball America's recent rankings included exit velocities for hitters so if the rankers can get that information then it will be reflected in rankings as well. Evaluation will never stop, it will always be changing.
Who are you less excited about in our system than other prospect lists? -thp0344
One guy I'm generally lower on is Justin Williams. Partially because of the logjam he is up against, but also there is still some things left to be desired to me. The Cardinals have done a good job making some adjustments, but I see him as a platoon/pinch hitter against left-handed pitching at best for Williams. I hope I'm wrong, because there is certainly some really good talent there, but I don't see him earning an everyday role as a Cardinal.
Does Gorman have a bad swing? -TeddyRugby
The extra information leading up to this had to do with his group at instructs. I will make sure to dedicate a post soon breaking down his swing in depth, but no he doesn't have a bad swing. His bat speed and bat path are fantastic for bringing out his fantastic raw power. If anything I would say they might be focused on his approach. During his time in Johnson City in 2019 Gorman pulled the ball nearly 50 percent of the time, per Fangraphs. Strikeouts will come with his power, but his swing has a lot of nice parts to it. He's still young, so his inclusion in a group could have to do with his approach or age, but likely not his swing.
Who hasn't played in full season yet but could be a top five organization prospect by the end of 2020? -PN_Ben
Two names I like: Trejyn Fletcher and Patrick Romeri. Fletcher comes to mind because of how athletic and raw he is. There is still a long way for him to go, but if it all clicks there's something special there. However, he gets plenty of love for that. Romeri generally doesn't. Matt Thompson's write up of him on the Prospects Live top 30 Cardinals prospect list is enough to excite anyone. According to trusted eyes Romeri has big power and can square up baseballs. He's really a name whose stock I could see exploding quickly.
Thank you!
That is all I have for you this go round. I'll be sure to do this again in a month! Make sure to check the comments on the old post because I'll go back and answer them as I have time. And don't forget to comment your name ideas!

American Estes secures late entry for U.S. Open
HOUSTON (Reuters) - PGA Tour veteran Bob Estes earned one of the last two spots for next week's U.S. Open when he won the weather-delayed sectional qualifier at The Woodlands near Houston on Tuesday.
Estes carded rounds of 69 and 67 for an eight-under total and will join fellow American Bobby Gates (69, 68) in the second major of the season which takes place at Pebble Beach from June 17-20.
The 44-year-old Estes, a four-times winner on the PGA Tour, will be competing in his 14th U.S. Open. His best finish was a tie for 11th at Pinehurst in 2005.
Thirty-five players competed for the two spots on offer at The Woodlands, one of 13 sectional qualifying tournaments held in the United States this week.
Among those missing out were Australian Steve Elkington and Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo, who both withdrew after a second weather delay on Monday forced the second round to spill over into Tuesday.
Romo, who shot a 71 in the first round and opened his second round with a quadruple bogey, was unable to return to The Woodlands because of commitments to his NFL team.
"I would have waited it out for sure if I didn't have to be back for practice," the 30-year-old told reporters. "I didn't make it through so that was a negative, but I learned some things that I can use for the next time."

Last summer I tripped and severely scraped my left knee, right down to the collagen in some places.
After drying and washing the rather large wound, I simply slathered it with Manuka Honey and covered it with 2 of the biggest bandaids I could buy. It would slightly sting for a minute, but that was okay because I knew it was working. After that, I would forget it was even there.
The scrape was so big that it took 3 weeks to finally re-grow all the skin, but due to the Manuka, I never had to de-bride, never had any infections or redness; it was healing cleanly and beautifully. thanks to the Manuka I hardly even had scars!
But after the bandaids were removed, I must've touched my knee after the dog licked my hand or something, because then I noticed that some small boils were there.
I came to this site and tried the trusted and true remedies for boils, which included Manuka Honey. I ended up making a paste of turmeric, ACV and manuka honey and put this on my carbuncle (for there were many small boils now) - and voila, they were all gone within 3 hours! Yeah, you read that right. Unbelievable.
Now all that is left are two very small scars on a knee that had to re-grow all of its skin, with no mottling or jagged edges, just a plain ole knee. It was all due to this fantastic site that I came thru that so well. Thanks Earth Clinic!

Domain names explained.
When constructing a website, there are 2 actions that you have to follow to get your site live. This article is about the first step, which is obtaining a Domain Name. The second step is setting up your hosting, and you can visit this site for all of the information you need to establish your hosting.
A Domain Name is really simple to comprehend. You use them regularly. When you go to any kind of site, you go to it by either searching for the website on Google, or manually entering the domain name.
For Google, it is simply "http://www." followed by "google.com". That is the domain name. For YouTube, it is simply "http://www." followed by "youtube.com". It's that simple. Now you know exactly what a domain name is, and also the odds are that you've known that for a long time, even if you really did not understand that it was called a "domain". Domain Name Dash
Domain names are typically called "web address" also. I like that, due to the fact that I like the word address. That's precisely just what your domain is. It's an address. Just like your residence has an address, so does your site. Think about your domain name as the address of your web site. Think about your hosting as the actual residence that is at the address. Once individuals come to your web address, your site is there all set to welcome them in.
It actually is that simple. And the bright side is, purchasing a domain is just as basic.
Domains made simple.
There are a couple of factors to recognize when selecting a domain for your web site. I'm going to break them down for you.
The first element is length. For right now, I'm only dealing with the actual name. I'm not discussing the "http://www." part or the ". com", ". net", ". info" and so on. I'm just discussing the unique part between "www." and ". com". The shorter the domain, the better. This is for numerous reasons. Psychologically, it's a whole lot easier to keep in mind an easy name like "Google", "YouTube", "Facebook", or "Apple". You do not want your domain name to be numerous words smushed together. Instead of "thebestplacetodiscovernewproducts.com", it's much better to be "productguide.com". Then, on your website, you can have a headline that says "The Best Place To Discover New Products". If your business or brands name is long, attempt to boil it down to just 1 or 2 words. Just because you are "Bruce and Tom's Lawn and Landscaping Service" doesn't indicate your domain name needs to be "bruceandtomslawnandlandscapingservice.com". Go for "btlawn.com" or "btservice.com". Keep in mind, this is just your address. You want it to be as recognizable and also memorable as possible to people. Once they come to your address, then you can invite them into your house and also inform them everything about your business. Domain Name Dash
The second variable is catchy and also memorable. This piggybacks off of the first one, however I simply wish to encourage you to consider not just keeping it short and sweet, but being as catchy as feasible. If you were to simply abbreviate "The Best Place To Discover New Products", your web address would be "tbptdnp". That's difficult to bear in mind. It's not catchy. It's not memorable. It's not identifiable. Nonetheless, "productguide" is much easier to remember. It's easy for somebody to keep in mind "I need to look this up on "productguide"". Keep that in mind too, as well as allow the creative juices flow!
The third factor is branded. Choose whatever your brand name is, or what defines your brand, as simply as possible. I understand it appears foolish, however what if Facebook was "thesocialmediasitewhereyoupoststuff", or YouTube was "thesitewhereyoupostvideosofyourselfandothercoolstuff". Even if you do not have a brand name for the website that you are developing, that does not indicate it can not still be branded. All I mean by that is, let the domain name specify exactly what the core of the website is about.
The next element is the TLDS, which is simply just what comes after your domain, such as ". com", ". net", or ". info". Even though a number of brand-new ones have been added over the last few years, truthfully, it's ideal to select ". com" as often as possible. Considering that the internet has been around, ". com" is what people associate with an internet site the most. If you are opting for a longterm website where you intend to develop a business, you will ultimately want to obtain your hands on an excellent ". com", even if you have to acquire it from someone and also pay even more for it. It is crucial for a site that you wish to be prolific as well as build a business around. For a blog site, it's less complicated to consider various other choices, however, ". com" is constantly a good thing if you could get the name you desire. I certainly recommend staying with ". com", ". net", as well as ". org".
Lastly, do not copyright infringe! If you aim to make your domain name very close to a big brand, it is extremely feasible that once your website starts indexing and also ranking you might get a "cease and desist" letter from the brand name. There are lots of laws and regulations concerning copyright violation, and also if you are attempting to piggyback off of a large trademark names in hopes that more web traffic will come to your web site thinking it could be related to the big brand name, you will ultimately get in trouble! You do not want to be forced to begin again from scratch. You can move your website to a brand-new domain, yet you will certainly have to start fresh with the online search engine as far as your web page getting indexed and also ranked for its content once again. Do not do it! It will only harm you in the long run! Domain Name Dash
How do I get a domain name?
Great news! That part is very easy also. Namecheap is the best place to go. They've been around for years, they've got fantastic customer service and customer support, and also they have actually got millions of happy customers throughout the world. Lots of domains could be purchased for under $10/year. Make use of these pointers to get started today! And don't worry! As your site grows, as your business grows, and also as your brand grows, it's easy to get a brand-new domain name that much better mirrors you and switch everything over. For those of you who intend to start, check out Namecheap today as well as start constructing your website!

Campaign Features Names like The Bachelor's Matt James, and Queer Eye's Tan France
Created in partnership with Team Whistle's "MAGNET" AGENCY
NEW YORK – (April 13, 2022) – Bankrate, a consumer finance platform, is launching their first-ever original YouTube series called '$$$$ They Didn't Teach You' on Wednesday, April 13 on Bankrate's YouTube page. The series, completed in partnership with Team Whistle's "MAGNET" AGENCY, will have six total episodes, each featuring a well-known influencer as they share their own personal stories of reaching financial literacy after falling victim to common financial traps like overwhelming credit card debt, high-cost student loans, poor budgeting, and more. The goal is to engage, educate and provide a Gen Z and Millennial audience with helpful financial tools through a relatable format that reduces the stigma around talking about finances by allowing their admired entertainers to be vulnerable and open about their experiences.
"You wouldn't know this from my Instagram, but I found out I maxed out my first credit card when it got declined buying ice cream on a date in college," said Matt James, Former Bachelor. "I was so focused on trying to keep up with my peers that I wasn't even thinking about paying back the debt I was accumulating until it caught up to me. I was excited to be a part of this campaign to share my story, help others realize how common debt is, and relieve some of the shame associated with it."
"We decided to make our first major investment in original content using some of the most impactful names across personal finance, home renovation, lifestyle, travel and entertainment to speak to Millennial and Gen Z audiences in an approachable and authentic way," said Kyle J. Britt, Director of Brand and Marketing at Bankrate. "We understand that many Millennials and Gen Zers weren't given the foundational financial education they need to have the healthy relationship with money they deserve. We believe financial confidence should be accessible to everyone."
"Team Whistle's "MAGNET" exists to help brands create original content native to social platforms that authentically speaks to a Gen Z audience, making us a great partner for Bankrate, " said Jordan Rue, Senior Director of Content at Team Whistle. "We know who and what resonates with them as genuine, and so we were able to help Bankrate determine the right strategy and approach."
According to a national study recently commissioned by Bankrate, 92% of GenZ and 79% of Millennial respondents self rated as Beginner or Intermediate when asked how they feel about managing their finances*. In the first episode, we hear from The Bachelor's Matt James, as he takes us through the evolution of how he fell victim to debt in college and got back on solid financial footing. In the season finale, we will meet Tan France who discovered too late that he had taken out an unmanageable loan for one of his early business ventures. The series also relies on animation from innovative visual storytellers Igor + Valentine to bring the influencers' financial stories to life. To further commit to providing meaningful financial education for viewers, Bankrate has created nine new free virtual master classes at Bankrate.com as a resource to do a deeper educational dive into the topics addressed by talent in the series.
*Study conducted by Material, to 3000 nationally representative Americans ages 18 and over, with a margin of error of +/- 1.8 percent.

March with Reeve for Disability Pride
Posted by Reeve Staff in Daily Dose on June 08, 2017 # Mobility
The Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation is honored to be sponsoring and participating in this year's 3rd annual Disability Pride Parade. Make sure to come and show your support on Sunday, July 9, 2017!
Nearly 1 in 5 people in the United States have a disability, 2.4 million people with disabilities above the age of 5 live in NY state alone. The Disability Pride Parade was created in 2012 by pianist Mike LeDonne, whose daughter is living with multiple disabilities, to help spread this public awareness and positivity throughout NYC. Last year, the event drew 5,000 people gaining attention from other countries following our example with parades now occurring in Sicily and Naples in Italy, as well as Brighton, England.
The parade will be held in Union Square and online registration is open until July 7th. Visit http://disabilitypridenyc.org/ for more information and make sure to visit the Reeve Foundation's booth on the day of the event. We will be sharing more details as they are announced.

South to Freedom: Runaway Slaves to Mexico and the Road to the Civil War by Alice L. Baumgartner
South to Freedom: Runaway Slaves to Mexico and the Road to the Civil War by Alice L. Baumgartner
The Underground Railroad to the North promised salvation to many American slaves before the Civil War. But thousands of people in the south-central United States escaped slavery not by heading north but by crossing the southern border into Mexico.
In South to Freedom historian Alice Baumgartner tells the story of Mexico's rise as an antislavery republic and a promised land for enslaved people in North America. In 1837, shortly after Texas rebelled against Mexican rule, Mexico's Congress formally abolished slavery, and enslaved people began to head south. Some were helped by free blacks, ship captains, Mexicans, Germans, gamblers, preachers, mail riders, and other "lurking scoundrels." Most, however, escaped by their own ingenuity with stolen rifles, forged slave passes, and in one instance a wig made from horsehair and pitch. Southerners hoped that annexing Texas and invading Mexico in the 1840s would stop runaways and secure slavery's future. Instead, the United States' seizure of Alta California and Nuevo Mexico upset the delicate political balance between free and slave states. With the Southern slave regime under pressure from both the north and south, the conditions were in place for the coming of the U.S. Civil War.
Today, our attention is fixed on people seeking opportunity by moving north across our southern border, but South to Freedom reveals what happened when the reverse was true: when American slaves fled "the land of the free" for freedom in Mexico.

Andrés Salgado, a Lay Martyr from the Religious Persecution
Toledo, Spain – 1936
Andrés Salgado Ruiz-Tapiador was born in Orgaz (Toledo, Spain) on February 27, 1903. Married to Adelaida Ruiz-Tapiador Guadalupe, he was the father of five children and the local physician in Orgaz (Toledo). He was assassinated at age 33 on August 29, 1936, out of hatred for the Catholic faith.
To My Mother
On Good Friday, March 30, 2018, my mother passed away and on Holy Saturday, we buried her. They were days of painful and yet very intense graces. We experienced the closeness of the Lord and Our Lady, as well as of my mother. I truly feel that she is alive and very close to Them. I think my siblings and father experienced the same thing. At given moments, it seemed like we were at a festive celebration rather than a funeral and burial. We said good-bye to my mother between hymns to the Lord and Our Lady about Heaven. It was beautiful!
And They Become One Flesh (Gen 2:24)
Man is a unique being in the universe. In the Creed, we profess that God is Creator of everything "visible and invisible." In a way, man appears as a synthesis of these two dimensions: he is composed of a spiritual soul and a material body.
Baby in Heaven

Swimsuit: A swimsuit is an item of clothing designed to be worn for swimming. Swimsuits can be skin-tight or loosely fitting and range from garments designed to preserve as much modesty as possible to garments designed to reveal as much of the body as possible without actual nudity. They are often lined with a fabric that prevents them from becoming transparent when wet. --- by navyblue December 03, 2006

The annual Smile Week, which provides plastic surgeons with dedicated theatre time to assist children in need of facial and other reconstruction, saw 29 children undergo surgery in Port Elizabeth's Provincial Hospital last week.
The Smile Foundation initiative, which is sponsored by Airport Company South Africa (ACSA), is aimed at putting a smile on the faces of the children.
"We believe that investing in the well-being of our children is an investment in our future, especially in the Eastern Cape because we are a needy province," said ACSA manager Greg Small.
Smile Foundation is a non-governmental organisation that works with eight academic hospitals around South Africa.
"We help children who suffer from treatable facial abnormalities such as cleft lip and palate, all burns, facial paralysis and other conditions," described operations executive director of Smile Foundation Moira Gerszt.
The Smile Weeks give the surgeons involved an opportunity to operate on many more children than on a normal weekly theatre slate, enabling more children to receive timeous surgeries.
Plastic surgeons from other academic hospitals flew to Port Elizabeth to assist with offering two theatres for surgery.
"We have a very positive and enthusiastic medical team in the Nelson Mandela Bay area.
"The doctors really go above and beyond to ensure that the children receive the best care ever.

By What Authority?
The Failure of Liberal Public Reason & How to Respond
Public reason, one might suppose, is simply moral or practical reason exercised collectively on matters pertaining to the common good. What ought we to do about this or that, where "this or that" is something that concerns us all?
• We do not wish to go hungry or naked: how shall we feed and clothe ourselves?
• We do not wish to be violated: how shall we keep the peace and defend ourselves?
• We wish to get better, to live the good life: how shall we improve ourselves?
The best answer to such questions may be very difficult to find or to achieve consensus on, and even harder to implement, but the burden of responsibility is laid upon us.
In the sphere of liberal democracy, European and American influences have combined to give rise to a new notion of public reason, which is now something more than practical reason exercised collectively on matters pertaining to the common good. New emphasis falls on "collectively," on the democratization of public reason, on the will of the people. But this will is no longer informed by a common tradition, upheld by the first two estates, the noble and the clerical, as it was in Christendom. We're all commoners now, but commoners who may not have much in common. How, then, do we mediate and rule our common life?
Liberal public reason thinks it has an answer. It stakes the claim, to quote Jonathan Quong in the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy, that "the moral or political rules that regulate our common life [must] be, in some sense, justifiable or acceptable to all those persons over whom the rules purport to have authority." Which means that they cannot embody or appeal to what is not in common but only to what is in common.
So what is that? What is in common, it turns out, is that, as persons, we are all authorities to ourselves. The proponents of liberal public reason, the same author tells us, "often present the idea as an implication of a particular conception of persons as free and equal. Each of us is free in the sense of not being naturally subject to any other person's moral or political authority, and we are equally situated with respect to this freedom from the natural authority of others." Liberal public reason, in other words, acknowledges no natural authority but the authority of the self. And, we might say, of itself. For in liberal circles "public reason" doesn't even require the qualifier "liberal." Apparently, reason is a liberal invention. Who knew?
What does this mean in practice? A simple example would be same-sex marriage. One cannot appeal to the biblical notion of divine design for marriage, because not all are adherents of biblical religion, nor do all believe in God. Different people have different views of sex and marriage. All that can be said about such a subject, under the rules of liberal public reason, is that "freedom to love" and "equality in love" reflect our common values. Only a cleverly managed period of adjustment in public imaging is required to get from there to a change in the legal definition of marriage and, with that, to endorsement of a new standard for sexual morality; in brief, to the normalization of homosexuality and the de-normalization of most prior judgments about sexual behavior. Individuals or groups who do not make the requisite adjustments become targets for punitive sanctions, at first informally, then formally. That all of this has or may have a detrimental effect on the values of "freedom" and "love" and indeed on public cohesion is neither debated nor regarded as debatable.
Perhaps you have noticed that the argument is circular: We have a particular conception of persons free and equal and not naturally subject to any one else's authority. This leads to a particular idea of public reason, which entails not appealing to anything or advocating anything that might challenge our conception of persons as subject to no authority but their own.

Stocks and Bonds Are Both Falling. Time for Alternative Investments
As stocks and bonds rise and fall in tandem this year, calls to rethink the popular asset-allocation strategy known as the 60/40 portfolio — a mix of 60% stocks and 40% bonds — are growing.
In a paper on enhancing the 60/40 portfolio expected to be released today, KKR (ticker:
), the $475 billion alternative-asset manager, calls the current macroeconomic environment "a regime change" necessitating a different asset mix. The company says investors should consider instead a 40/30/30 portfolio of 40% publicly traded stocks, 30% bonds, and 30% private assets, including real estate, infrastructure, and private credit, or investments in the debt of private companies. Most of these loans are floating-rate, so the payments increase as interest rates rise.
The KKR report is co-authored by Henry H. MccVey, chief investment officer of KKR's $25 billion balance sheet and head of global macro and asset allocation at the firm, and Racim Allouani, head of portfolio construction, risk management, and quantitative analysis. The pair compared a traditional 60/40 portfolio with the 40/30/30 portfolio in three scenarios — low inflation, high inflation, and all periods — and found that their allocation performed especially well in a higher-inflation environment.
McVey says KKR expects inflation of around 8% in 2022, and 3.5% in 2023.
KKR notes that the 60/40 portfolio has historically delivered solid absolute performance: Through Dec. 31, 2021, the three- and 10-year annualized returns were 17.5% and 11.1%, respectively, based on monthly returns of the S&P 500 for U.S. equities and the Bloomberg Barclays Aggregate for U.S. bonds.
"Without question, the 2010s were a golden decade for the '60/40′ investor," the report states. "In particular, the stars were perfectly aligned for the '60/40′ allocation to perform strongly after the Great Financial Crisis of 2008. Stocks rose and rates fell; thus bond prices rose and the stock-bond correlation was muted. However, we believe each of these premises will be at risk in the next decade and are now beginning to turn."
The theory behind the 60/40 portfolio is that stocks produce high returns over the long term, while bonds provide some stability and downside protection from the more volatile gyrations of the stock market. In recent years, as stocks soared and interest rates fell, a simple mix of 60% stocks and 40% bonds would have satisfied most investors. Now, however, stocks and bonds are moving in lockstep and returns are tumbling.
"The structural relationship between stocks and bonds, particularly during volatile and inflationary times, is changing," the report states. "We believe that not only are forward returns likely to be lower, but also that bonds can no longer serve as shock absorbers or diversifiers when paired with equities."
In other words, investors can no longer rely on the old playbook. McVey says that now is "a call to arms" for investors to rethink the traditional 60/40 portfolio construction and stock/bond allocation more broadly.
He says there are "three major macro shocks" investors need to keep an eye on: rising geopolitical tensions, a commodity shock, and unprecedented monetary and fiscal policy.
On the geopolitical front, the Russia-Ukraine war signals a shift from "benign globalization to Great Power competition," he says.
Regarding commodities, McVey says, "We've starved some of the old economy segments, natural gas and oil in particular, and at the same time, there's a lot of pressure to immediately produce other commodities that are needed to make the renewable energy transition a success." Lack of investment in both, he notes, is putting upward pressure on prices.
Add to this a "radically different approach to monetary and fiscal policy coming out of the Covid downturn," and investors are confronting what KKR is calling "a different type of recovery."
To cope with an increasingly complicated macroeconomic environment, KKR recommends enhancing the 60% stock component with real estate and infrastructure, which are generally positively correlated with inflation, and shifting 10% of the bond allocation to floating-rate assets, such as floating-rate loans, which yield more as interest rates rise. The floating rate is tied to a short-term benchmark rate, such as the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR), which rises whenever the Federal Reserve hikes rates.
Institutional investors have long included illiquid alternative assets—such as hedge funds, private equity, and real estate—in their portfolios to take advantage of the so-called "illiquidity premium," or additional yield for the added risk of tying up capital in an investment that can't be readily sold at its fair market value.
Retail investors are starting to catch up. Phil Huber, chief investment officer at Savant Wealth Management and author of The Allocator's Edge: A Modern Guide to Alternative Investments and the Future of Diversification, says now is the time for investors to consider adding alternatives to their portfolio.
"The diversification benefits of core fixed income are being challenged amid the inflationary backdrop," he says. "And despite the recent rise in rates, yields are still historically low, leaving an income void that certain alternatives can help fill."
While retail investors have been slower to embrace alternatives given their complexity and lack of liquidity, they can access the asset class through traded real estate investment trusts, or REITs, liquid alternatives—mutual and exchange-traded funds that mimic the investment strategies of hedge funds but offer daily liquidity — and "semi-liquid private alternatives" that invest in illiquid assets and offer liquidity at quarterly intervals or more.
The KKR Real Estate Select Trust (KRSTX), for example, provides access to KKR's private commercial real-estate platform globally across equity and credit investing. The KKR Credit Opportunities Portfolio (KCOPX) provides exposure across KKR's strategies in leveraged and private credit.
"Portfolio construction is the tool for chief investment officers and individual investors to build their portfolios to be more robust to a range of [economic] outcomes," says Allouani.
Most investors overestimate their need for liquidity, he says. The model portfolio that KKR proposes is 70% liquid.
Huber says financial advisors should be mindful of taking on too much illiquidity risk relative to their clients' capacity and comfort level. "With that in mind, most people probably don't need 100% daily liquidity in their portfolio," he says.

What is Machine Learning?
Machine learning is a type of artificial intelligence (AI) that provides computers with the ability to learn without being explicitly programmed. Machine learning focuses on the development of Computer Programs that can change when exposed to new data. Machine Learning is simply making a computer perform a task without explicitly programming it. This means in other words that these programs change their behaviour by learning from data. Machine learning is is the kind of programming which gives computers the capability to automatically learn from data without being explicitly programmed.
In today's world every system that does well has a machine learning algorithm at its heart. Take for example Google Search engine, Amazon Product recommendations, LinkedIn, Facebook etc, all these systems have machine learning algorithms embedded in their systems in one form or the other. They are efficiently utilising data collected from various channels which helps them get a bigger picture of what they are doing and what they should do.
Why Python?
Python is a widely used high-level programming language for general-purpose programming. Apart from being open source programming language, python is a great object-oriented, interpreted, and interactive programming language. Python combines remarkable power with very clear syntax. It has modules, classes, exceptions, very high level dynamic data types, and dynamic typing. There are interfaces to many system calls and libraries, as well as to various windowing systems. New built-in modules are easily written in C or C++ (or other languages, depending on the chosen implementation). Python is also usable as an extension language for applications written in other languages that need easy-to-use scripting or automation interfaces.
Python is widely considered as the preferred language for teaching and learning Ml (Machine Learning).
Few simple reasons are:
It's simple to learn. As compared to c, c++ and Java the syntax is simpler and Python also consists of a lot of code libraries for ease of use.
Though it is slower than some of the other languages, the data handling capacity is great.
Open Source! – Python along with R is gaining momentum and popularity in the Analytics domain since both of these languages are open source.
Capability of interacting with almost all the third party languages and platforms.
Useful/Related Libraries
Python libraries like NumPy, SciPy, Scikit-Learn, Matplotlib are in Machine learning. They are likewise broadly utilized for Implementing Measurable machine learning calculations. Python actualizes understood machine learning ideas, for example, Classification, Regression, Recommendation, and Clustering. Actually, this libraries will clarify such a large number of ideas of python.
Python offers an instant structure for performing information mining undertakings on extensive volumes of information adequately in lesser time. It contains a few strategies got past calculations like a straight relapse, strategic relapse, Naïve Bayes, k-implies, K closest neighbor, and Random Forest. in a similar manner, python offers such a large number of edge works.
Python contains libraries that push engineers to use updated counts. It redresses known machine learning systems, for Instance, recommendation, gathering, and clustering. In this Method, it is more important to have a short Procedure to machine getting the hang of utilizing python.

Skimming through the archives, I came across the most interesting article published by The Times of London some years ago. Incisively titled "The Hook Hurts — Will Anglers Feel the Pain?" the article related a scientific study that appeared to debunk the claim of anglers that "fish are too low a life form to suffer pain". Apparently, animal welfare activists had become vehement in their call for Britain's 3.5 million anglers to give up their "violent" pastime. Hence the significance of the "study" in question!
Without delving further into the study, one can hardly escape the thought that the British animal lovers are a rummy lot. For one, they are known for selectively feeling pain for the oddest of species. For instance, groups that agitate against cruelty to bears in parts of South Asia have no qualms about the bullfights in Spain.
One learnt, also from The Times, that PETA, an international organisation, has an "aggressive anti-fishing policy". The Animal Liberation Front is credited with this gem of a statement: "Fish are dragged out of the water into an alien environment in which they slowly die. There is no pretence of humane slaughter". A spokesman of the National Federation of Anglers in Britain was reported as having averred somewhat cryptically, "anglers have known all along that fish do not feel pain, or certainly not pain as other animals know it".
If going through all this rigmarole leaves the reader's mind boggled, it is but natural. What it all boils down to is that the spat was not about the principle of the wholesale slaughter of fish but merely about whether or not these creatures "felt the pain". Each side commissioned "studies" to prove their opponents wrong. Apparently, according to prevalent philosophy, there is nothing wrong with the wholesale slaughter of a species so long as it is done "in a humane manner". Reminds one of the old lady in English literature who felt no qualms about drowning kittens but took care to heat the water so they would not feel the cold!
Veering from our subject a bit, from "angling as a sport" to "angling as an art" is one short jump. As one looks around one finds, to one's horror, angling being honed into an art form fast emerging as a way of life in this blessed land. The modern individual no longer looks at angling in its restricted sense. Its scope has been expanded and taken far afield. It may possibly have something to do with modern theories of "economic development", or even with the "March of Civilization". Angling for position or privilege has, regrettably, become part of daily routines. The rat race is on; and with a vengeance!
There was a time when life moved at a leisurely pace. Events occurred according to a routine. Each person put in his or her best and was compensated accordingly. Those who didn't make the grade were sifted out. Alas, no more! The accepted norm today is that, when not dividing up the loaves and fish, your modern successful individual is fishing in troubled waters. But that is another story!
This hullabaloo about fish and the "pain" brings to mind the fact that these "feeling" individuals hardly have anything to say about man's cruelty to members of its own species. Bloody conflicts are being wantonly lit all over like bonfires; hundreds and thousands of innocent human beings are being cut down in the name of one "cause" or the other. Violation of human rights in various regions has long been ignored in the interest of expediency.
Such is human nature. One has no desire to condone cruelty to the lesser species. There is no excuse for cruelty and wantonly killing species, some of which are nearing extinction. But the fact remains: how does one expect humankind to be kind to members of other species when they cannot, or will not, respect their own? Therein rests the nub!

Basketball ranks among one of peoples' favorite sports to both watch and play. It's not that simple to be the most talented in the game. You can be born with talent, but the game can be enjoyed by everyone. The following article will give you some great basketball tips.
It is vital that you learn to crossover the basketball while dribbling. A crossover happens when you switch hands the ball is in. You have to do this quickly to be good at it. Once you master the art of the crossover dribble, you will be able to change directions quicker.
Want to become a better basketball player? Watch the pros! It is important that you see how other people play the game. You'll learn that every player is skilled at certain things and that can help you to know what you can do to get better.
Completing passes to your teammates is just as important as dribbling the ball. It is difficult playing without dribbling; however, it helps the team make better passes. Don't get discouraged if it is hard initially' because the gains you will make are sure to be worthwhile.
Never try to push through pain after an injury. It's easy to be hurt when playing basketball. If you keep on playing after sustaining an injury, you may make the injury even more serious. Seek medical advice immediately if you have more than a minor muscle strain.
The key for controlling the ball well is to spread your fingers. This can help you avoid losing it when you hold it. However, remember to keep your palm away from the ball. When passing and shooting the ball toward its target, the sole contact point should be fingers.
Always be aware of your feet. You will be called out of bounds if even one toe is touching the baseline as you hold the ball. Going too many steps with no dribbling is a waking call and turnover situation. Avoid lifting your feet when you are screening or in position for a charge or the foul will be called on you instead of your opponent.
In order to perfect your layup shooting technique practice, take off with your left foot if you shoot with your right hand and vice versa. If you use your right hand to shoot, use your left foot to take off. This will keep your body properly balanced with forward momentum.
You need to work on your forearms and your hands to handle the ball more efficiently. Consider wrist curls and and exercise machine that focuses on strengthening each finger individually. Do not make the mistake of thinking you can stay stationary, catch all the ball, and shoot them from that same location. While this does happen on occasion, you should be moving in order to execute the play.
To get the rebound from the free throw your teammate is making, you need to do some fancy footwork. As you see the defender moving in, quickly slip around to grab the ball. Doing so will allow you to get the rebound sans a foul.
A good basketball drill to perform is to see if you can get the ball down the entire court in 5 or less dribbles. It isn't impossible, it just takes practice. It will allow you to execute easy layups.
You should ensure that you can clearly see. Not to just be able to see the scoreboard, but to actually make a shot and catch a pass. Develop your peripheral vision on the court. If you scan the entire court instead of keeping your eye on the basketball, you will be aware of oncoming defensive pressure as well as the positions of your open teammates.
In order to ensure that you are always ready to defend, keep your stance at all times. Stay in the right position by pushing off of your opposite foot. Keep your feet from crossing to make it hard for your opponent to get by you.
Stay low when playing defense. Doing so improves your reaction time with regards to your opponents' actions. Stay in your defensive stance. If you need to block someone's shot, quickly get back into your stance.
For your weaker hand, to build skills, use it off-court for as much as you can, from brushing teeth to opening jars. Try becoming ambidextrous outside of the court, and you will soon find that you do not have a weaker hand when playing basketball. This will have a positive impact on your basketball game, too.
Don't discontinue dribbling until you have the chance to shoot or pass. After you have stopped dribbling, your options are quite limited. You can't do anything but pivot if you don't shoot or pass. If you cannot shoot or pass the ball, you are in danger of getting the ball taken away from you.
Try to practice a dribble while switching momentum from side to side. During game time, you'll find yourself dribbling from all sorts of positions. You might be able to go through an open court or have to switch sides to avoid opponents. It helps to master control of your body as you dribble in a variety of positions. Dribbling can help get you out of trouble.
Show people your new skills! Well, you should probably get to work on doing some practice. Get to work and get to playing! You should soon see improvements to your skills all thanks to using these tips.

Robbery and Kidnap Now? Ingrate 'Asylum' Savages Amok in Sicily!
Some savages are currently under arrest in Sicily – unbelievably, house-arrest; are there no rat-infested dungeons available in all those old Norman castles? – though I guess that would be mean to the rodents!
By 'savages,' I refer of course to the uncivilised 'asylum' creeps currently marauding their way across the Med.
You know, the ones who repay refuge with rank ingratitude from Bavaria to Scandinavia?'
The Notion That All Immigrants Feel Gratitude? Something of a Myth!'
German Girls Forced Into Shariah Dress-Code By Sex-Pest Syrian Ingrates!
And why the house-arrest?
Because they didn't get money they reckoned Italy's tax-payers 'owed' them, and accordingly ran amok, like the barbarians they are.
- Twelve migrants have been accused of kidnapping and attempted robbery after allegedly storming into the director's office of a refugee centre in Sicily and locking up two workers in a bid to 'steal' the pocket money they hadn't been paid.
More likely needed is a System for Protection FROM Asylum Seekers!
The shocking ingratitude of a lot of these swine is only matched by their arrogant sense of entitlement – the state-run facility apparently has been wasting public funds by providing them with 'pocket-money!' Bad enough the parasites are encouraged to invade italy by the prospect of free board and lodgings, but they also get extra largesse – € 17.50 a week? Are there no limits to European lunacy?
This particular bunch of scumbags had forfeited their right to this particular hand-out because they had refused to be transferred to another Sprar centre in Agrigento, in south-west Sicily.
So the leeches have arrogated to themselves the right to pick and choose which part of their unfortunate host country will be burdened with their obnoxious presence?
At the beginning of July, some 34 of the centre's 45 inhabitants emphatically refused to move to Agrigento, and rebelled so much that police had to be called in to restore order at the centre.
Italian police are armed. Those cops should have waded right in and used their guns. 'Get the hell where you're told to go, or take the consequences!' But no – finally, some agreed to leave – how gracious of these undeserving undesirable aliens to agree to insert their snouts into another tax-trough!
But others remained – and these, the most recalcitrant of the rats, were allowed to continue to enjoy the use of services and resources to which they no longer technically had the right.
Why that word technically? These bludgers had put themselves deliberately in the wrong! Yet the dastards were furious at not being paid… the twelve angry migrants burst into the centre director's office to demand their pocket money…
Spoilt brats!
And when spoilt brats don't get their own way, tantrums ensue, in this case led by a 24-year-old from Guinea Bassau.
The dirty dozen locked up the director and another staffer and stole the director's keys in a bid to get what was coming to them!
And I suspect you and I might have a different idea or two about how they might get what was coming to them!
In spite of everything, the director managed to call the police from another phone in the office where he was trapped.
The migrants were taken to the police station, formally identified and placed under house arrest, accused of kidnapping and attempted robbery.http://www.thelocal.it/20150715/migrants-in-sicily-revolt-over-unpaid-pocket-money
These ingrate swine should be put on a (preferably leaky) boat and towed out to international waters, with warnings to all passing ships to ignore any shrilling from on board.

text: I have had one, but serious, report on a potential problem. There is a possible problem with the libpng software if installed on Mac OS X 10.4 systems. As a result, all kinds of Apple apps start crashing because they try to load the dynamic library that is part of the libpng i-Package. There is nothing worng with that library, but Apple Frameworks seem to require extra stuff which is not available in the standard libpng 1.2.8 out there on the net. I have blocked the libpng i-Package and I urge everybody to uninstalll it. I will reissue it without the dynamic libraries. Something that was the case before last month. I will update the autotrace, wvWare, netpbm and libwmf i-package such that they do not require dynamic libpng but are linked statically.

Adding Kisqali to Femara Improves Overall Survival for Postmenopausal Women With Advanced-Stage Hormone-Receptor-Positive HER2-Negative Breast Cancer
Adding the targeted therapy Kisqali (chemical name: ribociclib) to the hormonal therapy Femara (chemical name: letrozole) as a first treatment for advanced-stage hormone-receptor-positive HER2-negative breast cancer in postmenopausal women improved overall survival by more than 1 year, according to the latest results from the MONALEESA-2 study.
The research was presented on Sept. 19, 2021, at the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Congress 2021. Read the abstract of "Overall survival (OS) results from the phase III MONALEESA-2 (ML-2) trial of postmenopausal patients (pts) with hormone receptor positive/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 negative (HR+/HER2-) advanced breast cancer (ABC) treated with endocrine therapy (ET) ± ribociclib (RIB)."
Gabriel Hortobagyi, M.D., of the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, recently joined the Breastcancer.org Podcast to discuss the MONALEESA-2 study.
Overall survival is how long people live, whether or not the cancer grows.
Advanced-stage breast cancer is either locally advanced or metastatic. Locally advanced breast cancer is breast cancer that has spread to tissue near the breast, but not to parts of the body away from the breast. Metastatic breast cancer is breast cancer that has spread to parts of the body away from the breast, such as the bones or liver.
About Kisqali and Femara
Kisqali is a cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 (CDK4/6) inhibitor. A kinase is a type of protein in the body that helps control cell division. Kisqali — a pill taken by mouth — works by stopping cancer cells from dividing and growing.
Kisqali is used in combination with an aromatase inhibitor, a type of hormonal therapy, to treat advanced-stage or metastatic hormone-receptor-positive HER2-negative breast cancer that hasn't been treated with hormonal therapy yet in premenopausal, perimenopausal, and postmenopausal women.
Premenopausal and perimenopausal women who take Kisqali also should be treated with a medicine to suppress ovarian function.
Besides Femara, two other aromatase inhibitors are used to treat breast cancer:
Arimidex (chemical name: anastrozole)
Aromasin (chemical name: exemestane)
Aromatase inhibitors stop the production of estrogen in postmenopausal women. Aromatase inhibitors work by blocking the enzyme aromatase, which turns the hormone androgen into small amounts of estrogen in the body. This means that less estrogen is available to stimulate the growth of hormone-receptor-positive breast cancer cells.
Kisqali also is used in combination with the hormonal therapy Faslodex (chemical name: fulvestrant) to treat advanced-stage or metastatic hormone-receptor-positive HER2-negative breast cancer that hasn't been treated with hormonal therapy yet or has grown while being treated with a different hormonal therapy in postmenopausal women.
Femara — also a pill taken by mouth — is used to treat all stages of breast cancer in postmenopausal women.
About the MONALEESA-2 study
The MONALEESA-2 study included 668 postmenopausal women diagnosed with advanced-stage hormone-receptor-positive HER2-negative breast cancer. None of the women had received treatment for the advanced-stage disease.
The researchers randomly assigned the women to one of two treatment groups:
334 women received Kisqali and Femara
334 women received Femara and a placebo, a pill that looked just like Kisqali but contained no medicine
Earlier results from the MONALEESA-2 study found that the combination of Kisqali and Femara improved progression-free survival more than Femara alone.
Progression-free survival is how long people live without the cancer growing.
To analyze overall survival, the researchers looked at data collected through June 10, 2021. Half the women were followed for less than 79.7 months and half were followed for a longer period of time.
Overall survival was:
63.9 months for women who received Kisqali and Femara
51.4 months for women who received Femara alone
This difference of 12.5 months was statistically significant, which means that it was likely because of the difference in treatment and not just due to chance.
"This is the longest median survival reported to date in any advanced breast cancer phase III clinical trial," Dr. Hortobagyi said during his presentation. "Ribociclib and letrozole should be considered the preferred treatment option for [hormone-receptor-positive HER2-negative] advanced breast cancer."
He also pointed out that other MONALEESA studies looking at Kisqali in combination with other hormonal therapy medicines to treat advanced-stage hormone-receptor-positive HER2-negative breast cancer in pre- and postmenopausal women also showed better overall survival for people receiving Kisqali than hormonal therapy alone.
"Taken together, the MONALEESA trials with ribociclib demonstrate a consistent overall survival benefit regardless of endocrine therapy partner, line of therapy, or menopausal status," Dr. Hortobagyi said.
What this means for you
If you're a postmenopausal woman who's been diagnosed with advanced-stage hormone-receptor-positive HER2-negative breast cancer that hasn't been treated yet, these results are very good news.
As you and your doctor discuss first treatment options, you may want to bring up this study and ask if treatment with Kisqali and hormonal therapy is a good option for your unique situation.

Matylda commented on the post, Should the voting age be lowered to 16?
Sephora, I found your post extremely interesting. I definitely agree with you but I can see some of the dangers of lowering the voting age. I think that if we were to make this change, then the education system would have to adapt and provide us with the opportunity to learn more about the candidates we are voting for. I agree with your point…Read More
Matylda commented on the post, College Readiness and Coronavirus
Emery, this post is very interesting. I have definitely been noticing similar patterns and am also a little worried about how things will be for our class with COVID. I think out of state tuition is particularly hard for people to pay during these times. I also think a lot of people are having a hard time justifying paying that much just for online school.

Matylda commented on the post, How to combat fake news and disinformation?
Sam, I like the ideas you've outlined here. I agree, there is an increasing amount of fake news in the media these days and this is very hard to avoid. I like your ideas about combatting this, we need to make sure people know where their news is coming from and if it is reliable.
