Over the coming weeks, the research team will be releasing a series of updates on how we view the pandemic developing and our view of the market's reaction and the government policy response.
At this exceptionally challenging time, we would like to take this as an opportunity to thank the extraordinary efforts made by healthcare professionals, carers, volunteers, the public services and, those working in other essential sub-sectors of the UK and global economy to combat and mitigate the effects of this Coronavirus pandemic.
An update on the Coronavirus outbreak
The coronavirus pandemic has quickly shifted from an initial supply chain disruption into a global supply and demand shock that is and will continue to reverberate across asset classes and throughout all economic sectors over the coming months at the very least. Increasingly governments around the world have enacted ever more stringent lock-downs as governments aim to slow the rate of new infections to reduce the peak in active Coronavirus cases. It is hoped this strategy will reduce the extreme pressures being placed upon healthcare systems globally, create more time for ventilators to be manufactured and delivered to those patients most in need – to ultimately drive higher recovery rates from the growing number of Coronavirus infections and 'flatten the curve' of infection rates.
It is now increasingly clear that the global economy will fall into a recession but the severity and length of this recession remains largely undetermined. The financial and economic impacts will principally depend upon how effective governments are at managing the spread of the virus and the approaches taken, to ease social distancing measures over time.
Coronavirus – a look at the latest data
When we last wrote on the 12th March 2020, Coronavirus cases had just risen above 116,000 and, 70% of confirmed cases were within China. However, the situation has changed meaningfully since. This is, in part, due to the infectious nature of this Coronavirus, the lack of early symptoms when the virus is considered most infectious, reflective of some people appearing almost asymptomatic and, the prevalence of international travel in modern society that allowed the virus to spread so quickly across the globe. As at the 31st March 2020, confirmed Coronavirus cases total 803,650 with now c.90% of confirmed cases outside of China. This represents the significant shift in the spread of this virus from a few weeks ago and highlights the fluidity of the situation.
The read-through to financial markets
From the chart below, it is apparent that financial markets have been in a noticeable period of elevated volatility since the 24th February (as measured by the US Volatility (VIX) index) and we expect to remain in a period of heightened volatility for some time, although please remember past performance is not indicative of future results
Source: FactSet, CBOE Volatility (Vix) Index. Data from 31 December 2007 to 31 March 2020. The VIX index is a measure of expected future volatility (market ups and downs) for the US S&P 500 equity index over the next 30 days. The figures shown relate to past performance. Graph for illustrative purposes only.
Investors, in the short term, have attempted to reduce their overall risk exposure and sought the protection of more traditional safe haven assets, such as government bonds and gold, relative to riskier equities that have been hit hard, as shown in the table below.
Source: Bloomberg. Data from 31 December 2019 to 31 March 2020. The figures shown relate to past performance. Table for illustrative purposes only.
From the table, it is clear that equity markets have risen off their most recent lows over the past few days into quarter-end. However, we think it is too early to assume that this recovery is sustainable. Yet, we are also conscious that historical upturns in markets can be as dramatic as the downturns, and can still occur even when negative news continues to dominate discourse. Instead, it remains, as important as ever, to pick investments carefully and in-line with long-term investment goals. Our current preference within equities is to favour those higher quality companies that have more robust balance sheets, good profit margins and with structural growth opportunities ahead of them over the longer term.
What has been the public policy response?
The International response has been unprecedented; we have observed ever more coordinated monetary and fiscal easing than under previous economic downturns. Broadly, governments have enacted expansionary fiscal policy through higher government spending and they have either delayed or removed some tax rates in the short term to lessen the economic blow on businesses and consumers. At the same time, central banks have expanded monetary policy by cutting interest rates and embarked upon or expanded asset purchase programmes (quantitative easing) to add liquidity into financial markets. These responses seek to partly mitigate the loss in consumer and business expenditure, which are the major drivers of global economic growth to lessen the depth of this recession. For a more detailed policy overview, the IMF has a useful resource that outlines responses by each country here: https://www.imf.org/en/Topics/imf-and-covid19/Policy-Responses-to-COVID-19#U
Since we last wrote, the Bank of England (the UK's central bank) has loosened monetary policy further (on 19th March 2020) by cutting the base rate from 0.25% to 0.1%. This is the lowest level in the central bank's 325-year history. Alongside this, the Bank of England indicated it would restart asset purchases under its quantitative easing programme announcing a £200bn extension; this represents a c.+45% increase in asset holdings at the central bank, once complete. Likewise, the Chancellor, Rishi Sunak, has 'gone further' with fiscal expansion; the government announced job support programmes for those self-employed and under PAYE, a range of cash grants for smaller businesses, business rate holidays for certain sectors (e.g. retail) and £330bn (equivalent to c. 15% of GDP) in government-backed loans.
What next?
Human brains are wired towards placing increased emphasis on short-term thinking and negative information i.e. we psychologically overweight a negative event relative to an equal positive event. From watching the news or reading the headlines, it can become all too easy to form a pessimistic mind-set. We remain conscious of the need to remain as level-headed as possible and spend each day seeking to learn more in an effort to evaluate what that might imply for tomorrow.
From an investment research perspective the research team at JM Finn, try to distinguish between short-term and long-term research priorities. It might not have meant changing portfolio positioning but it has meant continually analysing and re-assessing the investment cases for the asset and companies held for our clients, in light of new information.
Over the past couple of weeks, the team felt it was important to consider the immediate implications of this economic recession by looking at, for example, the balance sheet strength of the companies we hold for clients, to gauge their near term access to liquidity i.e. cash or borrowing facilities; or to estimate the likelihood they may need to raise additional funds from investors to continue operations.
Additionally, we believe it is extremely important to frame the long-term implications for those sectors invested in across the business: the coronavirus pandemic is a world event that will undoubtedly be etched into the psyche of nations globally and impact business and consumer behaviour moving forward. For instance, the food retail sector has seen an immediate uptick in food demand as consumers have stockpiled to increase their own food security. Increasingly consumers have adopted online food delivery and we believe this could, long term, hasten the adoption of online food delivery – if so, this has implications for food retail margins. Equally, the drastic need to adopt remote working practises (where feasible) could accelerate the transition toward cloud computing longer term.
We know the Coronavirus situation remains highly uncertain and subject to continual change but we take some comfort in following our detailed and time-tested approach to fundamental analysis, knowing at some point, the challenges of the pandemic will be overcome. We remain steadfast in our commitment to active investment management and in seeking to take investment decisions that help our clients achieve their long-term investment goals.

Health Professionals 'Gaslighted' By Provinces Like Jason Kenney's Alberta Amid COVID-19 Crisis, Medical Association Head Says
Dr. Katherine Smart told an emergency summit Tuesday that provincial governments like Jason Kenney's Conservative administration in Alberta are "gaslighting" health workers, Global News reports.
From Global News: Dr. Katherine Smart, head of the Canadian Medical Association, told an emergency summit Tuesday that some provincial governments like Jason Kenney's Conservative administration in Alberta are "gaslighting" health workers over the devastating impact of the COVID-19 fourth wave on the health-care system.
- Dr. Smart said health workers feel hopeless because their provincial governments are not listening to their concerns, and fear there is no end in sight for the ongoing crisis.
After the Kenney government lifted nearly all health restrictions in July and delayed implementing a vaccine passport system, the province saw more COVID-19 cases in September than any month prior, as well as records set for hospital and ICU admissions. Some new health measures were reintroduced to curb the spread of the virus this week.
- As reported by Alberta Native News this week, University of Alberta infectious diseases professor Dr. Ilan Schwartz said: "It's not just that (Alberta's health system is) on the verge of collapse, I think that's misleading at this point — we've completely collapsed."

During the recent launch of Confident Copywriting, I was asked if the group would help them become a great copywriter. And it got me thinking.
What does it mean to be great? Who are the great copywriters?
There are no wrong answers to this one as it's totally subjective. But who came to mind first and why?
Did you think of a top writer?
A high earner?
Someone who is well-known? Or a secret weapon?
What is it about them that makes you think they're at the top of their game?
- Their leadership and the impact on others?
- The results and outcomes they achieve?
- The quality of their work?
- Their reliability and consistency?
- Maybe even their efficiency.
If greatness is on your roadmap, there are two tracks to consider:
- Your writing
- Your business
You need to pay attention to both.
If you become a great writer but you can't run a business, you won't earn enough to live and be sustained by your copywriting. And that's fine unless copywriting is your main source of income.
If you only focus on your business operations without making sure you've got the copy chops to deliver, you won't be a success either. Clients will become disgruntled about the lack of results, and word will spread.
When it comes to your writing…
A great copywriter doesn't write pretty words. They write words that achieve specific goals.
You need to invest in learning the craft of copywriting to make sure you know the right words. I mean techniques, the science of copywriting and effective marketing as a whole, but also how our brains and emotions respond to specific triggers.
And it's not just about learning. You need to implement. You need an intentional approach to your writing, pulling from the skills you have to write the best damn copy you can with what you know at that time.
You can get there with a copy coach like me. Someone who can find the weak spots in your copywriting and show you where to focus your effort.
Learn, practise, be intentional when you write and put yourself in the path of copywriters who are further along. BOOM.
When it comes to your business…
You need to get a handle on systems, processes, marketing, money, time management and mindset. It's all part of running an effective, profitable, successful business.
But that's hella hard to get set up on your own. That's when being around other copywriters, copywriters who are further along than you, can help. You get a shortcut past the horrors of figuring it all out through trial and error (AKA mistakes and pain).
How you run your business will impact how much you can confidently charge clients. Demonstrating that you have established, effective processes and systems will help them decide if they'll get a premium experience for their investment. An experience that takes a burden off their plate and delivers copy that elevates their business.
You need to invest in each of these tracks to be a good copywriter.
Through learning, experience, support and tools, implementing intentionally as you grow and scale, you can become great.
But the key to it all is incremental action.
Getting 1% better on every single project.
How fast you get to great is entirely up to you. It depends on your goal. It depends on how much time you have. It depends on the actions you take.
I can give you all the tools and education to become a great writer. I can give you all the tools to run a great business. What you do with these is your decision. If you don't take action, your path to greatness will be a dead end. It's that simple.
Decide what YOUR version of greatness looks like and get on with it.
P.S. I would love to know you define "great". What does it mean to you?
This blog post is mostly me giving myself a talking to.

Pirates of Nassau Museum, Bahamas
Nassau was at the center of the 'Golden age of piracy' that lasted from 1690s to early 1700s for about 30 years. This was the time when large number of pirates dominated and virtually governed Nassau. The pirates including the infamous Captain Teach (better known as 'Blackbeard') and many others mercilessly looted the merchant ships that passed by the waters around Nassau Harbor.

However Governor Woodes Rogers arrived in 1718, captured and executed several notorious pirates and finally was able to end the era of piracy in Nassau.
The Pirates of Nassau Museum located at downtown Nassau, is an interactive museum where you can relive the days of piracy through many different exhibits and displays such as models of notorious pirates including female pirates, stowed cannons, hammocks etc.

Commercial Cleaning vs. Janitorial Cleaning
Keeping your place of business clean is a priority. It serves to make a good first impression to visitors, keeps employees productive, and prevents the spread of germs. Even though "clean" is one word, there are actually a wide range of tasks and jobs that go into cleaning. When hiring a cleaning service, there are also different terms that have different meanings regarding the service you are receiving.
Specifically, janitorial cleaning services are not exactly the same as commercial cleaning services. They both involve cleaning, but the actions involved are different. Here will explore what sets these two services apart so you can make sure you are getting the right services for your business.
Janitorial Cleaning Services are Everyday Tasks
Let's start with janitorial cleaning. This service includes your smaller, daily cleaning duties that keep a building looking pristine. This ensures that your building, whether it is an office, retail space, warehouse, or restaurant, is clean and well-maintained. Typically, workers will be on-site during regular business hours so that they can keep up with daily activities, but they might work after-hours as well. Some of the tasks you can expect may include:
- Dusting
- Cleaning the restroom
- Emptying the trash
- Vacuuming carpet
- Sweeping and mopping hard surfaces
- Cleaning shared spaces like kitchens or breakrooms
Commercial Cleaning Services are Bigger, Less Frequent Tasks
Whereas janitorial cleaning involves emptying the trash and daily tasks, commercial cleaning is different. This is characterized by those larger, specialized tasks that are not usually handled by the janitorial staff. These are usually jobs that need to be performed once or twice a year as opposed to on a regular basis and may include:
- Deep carpet cleaning
- Hard surface deep cleaning
- Window washing
- Upholstery/furniture cleaning
- Grout cleaning
Stratus Building Solutions offers Janitorial & Commercial Cleaning Services
To sum it all up, if you need daily cleaning services that keep your office or business looking pristine, then janitorial cleaning is the way to go. If you are more interested in those bigger cleaning projects, then commercial cleaning may be a better fit. Or perhaps you need both.
The good news is that Stratus Building Solutions can handle the dirty work for you.
We will discuss your specific needs with you and develop a plan that is customized for you. Explore all that we have to offer at StratusClean.com or reach out to your local Stratus to talk to a franchisee about your cleaning needs.

China will most likely get a Note 7 with 6GB of RAM
In a TENAA listing, a Samsung Galaxy Note 7 will have a much bigger RAM, a 6GB model, just like the current OnePlus 3. The question is, why only in China?
Only last week, the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 was released. And with it is the closure on the rumors that precedes the smartphone before it came out. It was touted to have a 6Gb RAM configuration just like the OnePlus 3, but to much surprise, it's not.
A quick look at the specs:
- Qualcomm's Snapdragon 820 processor
- 4GB of RAM
- 64GB of internal storage
Samsung often varies its storage capacities across markets, so we weren't going to be surprised if international users got more internal storage with their Note 7. What we weren't expecting, though, was Samsung to release a better version of the phone abroad. Chinese buyers are reportedly going to have the the option to get the phone with 6GB of RAM as well as 128GB of internal storage, according to a listing on TENAA.
Chinese markets may have a higher demand for high RAM capacities but will Samsung also offer the same configuration to the US markets? That last question will yet to be confirmed.

And the best part of this festival is to exchange Christmas gifts with young and adult family members, friends, relatives and loved ones. Before the arrival of Christmas, we all keep planning in advance about the gifts that we will present. However, when nothing strikes in mind, we end up gifting mouth-watering cakes. There are various varieties of cakes that are relished by everyone irrespective of the age group.
However, preparation of the batter and baking cakes is not everybody's cup of tea. In fact, baking a cake requires a whole lot of ingredients that are used in a certain proportion to get the desired colour, taste and the 'spongy' softness. Either you have to be an expert in baking or make a trip to the nearby bakery to pre-order your choice of cakes. Does that sound like a havoc task?
Relax! Gone are the days when you used to rush to the bakery stores and give advance orders for baking your choices of cakes. Nowadays, things have been made convenient and easy, you can order groceries online through reliable and reputed Indian food store online. The benefits of online grocery delivery are countless. For instance, you need not commute to buy the ingredients or buy a cake. Time and money are saved, as you can simply order your favourite cakes with a ''few clicks'' on your laptop or mobile phone.

I am starting my term with a cybersafety session with all my students. I have found some resources I like and the two classes who tried them seemed to get it and enjoy them so I thought I start a discussion on what might work for Intermediate Students.
What have you found useful with your students?
People have been using resources on our Cyber Safety Google Site that may be useful- esp the video prompts for discussion.
What a treasure trove of information on your site! I have bookmarked it, your delicious cyber safety resource collection as well. Would it be ok if I used parts if this in my work with staff and / or students? I am also starting a weekly post in our school newsletter, to keep parents up to date with what we're up to at school and how they can keep up with the tamariki - I can see lots of topics coming up simply from skim reading over your site! Many thanks for sharing!
Hi Monika, this is a great start, there is a wealth of material available about digital citizenship for NZ teachers including Netsafe and MyLGP and in Enabling e-Learning. You might also like to bookmark an up-coming free online seminar hosted by Enabling e-Learning, Digital Citizenship: Using inquiry to build digital citizenship 6 June 3:30-4:30pm with Jenny Clarke, Wendy Koefed, Sean Lyons.
Last year I posted a sequence of three posts on the CORE blog about research around digital citizenship in schools, strategies to promote cybersafety and connections between school and home. http://blog.core-ed.org/blog/tag/digital-citizenship
In terms of my experience teaching students, I have presented a mini inquiry (a bit like you have) where I have introduced the concepts and issues associated with being online as well as defining the terminology of Digital citizenship. Andrew Churches makes some nice clarifications of the term @ http://edorigami.wikispaces.com/The+Digital+Citizen
Using videos in context, is a great way to 'buffer' the material shared. Here's a Prezi show I've used with secondary students before. Some of this might appear confusing or out of context, please feel free to make comments for additional clarification.
I targeted the students online profile, asked them to search for themselves in Google and talked about the need to protect/respect themselves and others. This caused some drama and excitement in the room as the students realised they needed to have more control over their account/permissions in social networking places like Facebook. This resource has proven useful for students about the complexities of using Facebook @ http://ictpd-digital-citizenship-at-home.wikispaces.com/Facebook+identity
The lesson ended with a challenge to make a short radio advertisement to inform/warn others about what they have learned. More ideas for lesson scenarios for junior/middle/senior students can be found here @ http://ictpd-digital-citizenship-and-cybersafety.wikispaces.com/
Using games like Grapple is also a great interactive way to get students engage with real life scenarios (in this case, pop up windows) to encourage safety online.
Other educators have tackled this in their schools, so feel free to peruse their resources and stories in the VLN.
Facebook threads in the VLN groups
How are your kids becoming 'successful digital citizens'? Whakatu Cluster schools discussion thread
Oh- Tessa's reply reminded me of
You log in with your Facebook account and it harvests your photos and mashes it into a REALLY scary video of what people could potentially find out about you via Facebook if your profile is not as locked down as you can make it.- and revised often for when Facebook changed its policies.
Definitely try it with your own Facebook profile first to decide if it would be suitable for the age and experiences of children you are teaching as it could be quite disturbing if viewed out of context.

The Intimate and Biographical Core of Personal Information - Kerith Tung
Personal information is given out all the time, but what constitutes personal information at a societal level can be subjective. For example, some people may not hesitate to have their phone number posted online for all to see; others may prefer to ensure that all personal information is private. It is fortunate, then, that when determining a legally reasonable expectation of privacy as set out in Hunter v Southam[1] ("Hunter"), the threshold was designed to be normative: a r

Sexual assault is among the most polarizing topics in criminal law, with many voicing concerns that certain social factors can unfairly and negatively prejudice complainants. In this blog, I will argue that the issues commonly observed in sexual assault cases where testimony is the bulk of the evidence are not a result of the elements of the crime being poorly constructed, rather they are rooted within procedures. This blog will first analyze the element of consent in sexual
Turning Garbage into Gold: Physical Property vs. Abandoned Information - Shelly Neal
In the year 2021, personal data collection and privacy infringements seem to be the norm. Individual information is relinquished with the click of a button. Courts are now filled with novel cases exploring the limitations of privacy rights online. However, in the physical world, these rights appear quite established.

Most likely, nothing would happen. Since 2014, the government of Canada has never brought the fourth charge against "unauthorized use of a comp

Tehran's Foreign Minister Javad Zarif made an "urgent" appeal for help from the international community as Iran grapples with the outbreak of the coronavirus.
Zarif took to Twitter to ask all countries for medical equipment to help Iran combat the virus that has so far claimed 429 lives there as it struggles economically and is reeling from U.S. sanctions.
Iranian care personnel are bravely struggling on the frontlines to fight the virus known as COVID-19, he said.

Blaming the "puppet" Prime Minister Imran Khan for the economic crisis in the country, Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari said that the common man was drowning in a tsunami of inflation.
Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) chairman Bilawal Bhutto–Zardari has given Prime Minister Imran Khan a 24-hour ultimatum to resign and dissolve the assembly or be prepared to be ousted through a no-trust motion, local media reported.
Addressing the Awami March participants in Lalamusa, the PPP leader on Monday said that Imran Khan, along with Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government, would be sent packing through all democratic means, The News International reported.
The 'selected' (Imran Khan) has become so scared that he has started abusing his political opponents and calling them names, said the PPP leader.
Blaming the "puppet" Prime Minister for the economic crisis in the country, Mr Bhutto-Zardari said that the common man was drowning in a tsunami of inflation, according to the media outlet.
The Imran Khan government begged for loans, which were three times more than those ever acquired in the past, said the PPP leader, adding that the people cannot carry the burden of his blunders anymore.
"A Satan of Pindi [Sheikh Rashid Ahmed] has said that Imran Khan will not sit at home after his dismissal. He is right as Imran Khan will be behind the bars. He will be held answerable in the foreign funding case," the publication quoted the PPP leader as saying.
Meanwhile, as Pakistan continues to grapple with a severe economic crisis, the opposition parties have termed the relief measured announced by the Imran Khan government as insufficient. They continue to mount pressure on the Pakistani Prime Minister.
The opposition parties are jettisoning mutual hatred to ouster Imran Khan by moving a no-confidence motion against his government. However, Imran Khan has exuded confidence in the failure of this motion and said that the opposition will face consequences post its failure.

Help us rebuild our roof
Last year, on September 20th, Hurricane Maria destroyed our beautiful Island of Puerto Rico, as well as our home. During the passing of the hurricane, we lost our roof, which was made of wood and tin. Consequently, we lost all of our furniture and other material belongings inside the house. Luckily, the ones that live in this home and myself spent the passing of the hurricane elsewhere and were not harmed. My grandmother, great-grandfather and myself live in this home, and have done so for most of our lives. It is a very special place for us, and a piece of ourselves was lost when we saw that our home had been destroyed. Therefore, we ask you to help us rebuild our roof, and along with it, the things that make our home vital and special. I'm a 23 year old Psychology student and work two jobs, trying to aid my grandmother and great-grandfather to the best of my abilities. I'm just asking you to aid us with whatever amount you're able to. If not, just sharing this campaign will be greatly appreciated by myself, my grandmother and great-grandfather.

Hi every one,
When using a sweep, the selection of a metric that need to beoptimized is required when using bayesian optimisation.
I wanted to know if for the selection of the next critierion for the next runs, the bayesian optimisation is based on the value of that metric at the end of the run (last epoch) or on the highest value reached by the metric during the run ?
Because in the first case, if I choose a metric calculated over my validation dataset, it performance may decrease during the training because of overfitting, then the value of my metric at the end would not reflect the best performance of my model.
Thanks for your help

The GE refrigerator error code is a result of a problem with the refrigerator's evaporator fan. This error code indicates that the fan is not working properly, and needs to be replaced. The evaporator fan is responsible for circulating air around the evaporator coils, and helps to keep the fridge cool. If the fan is not working properly, the coils will not be cooled properly, and the fridge will not be able to maintain its proper temperature. This can lead to food spoilage and other problems.

Next, the technician will inspect the refrigerator to determine the cause of the error. If the problem is with the refrigerator itself, the technician will likely need to replace parts or repair the refrigerator. If the problem is with the power supply, the technician may be able to repair the power supply.

Ticket prices for theme parks are rising fast
For the last seven years or so, Joseph Armendariz of West Covina, Calif., has watched the price of his annual Disneyland pass creep higher, prompting him to wonder when the cost finally would be out of reach.
Armendariz, who works at a community college administration office, paid $619 for his annual pass, which lets him into the park on all but 50 days of the year.
If the charge continues to rise, he said he may be forced to get a cheaper $469 annual pass that blocks him for about 140 days.

Forbidden Forest: Spooky new 'Harry Potter' exhibit to open
Can you afford Disney World, Universal? Add it up
"They are pricing out parts of the community," he complained. "It is becoming a very niche thing where only certain people can go."
Prices are rising for most forms of entertainment, including movies, concerts and sporting events.
But the cost of a theme park ticket has gone up much more than that of other pastimes over the last decade, with Disneyland and Universal Studios Hollywood boosting prices last month.
Like Armendariz, theme park fans grouse about the bigger tab, but most aren't ready to abandon the parks altogether _ as shown by rising attendance numbers.
"We have not seen any pushback from the marketplace," said Dennis Speigel, president of International Theme Park Services, a consultant to the industry. "If you look at the industry, we are still seeing growth."
Theme park operators say the price increases come in response to strong demand and reflect the millions of dollars spent over the years on new high-tech attractions.
"In the last 10 years, we've made unprecedented investments in the Disneyland Resort, allowing us to introduce even more experiences more often to our guests," Disneyland spokeswoman Suzi Brown said.
Universal Studios spokeswoman Audrey Eig said theme park customers are paying for an all-day experience with "immersive lands and technologically advanced rides and attractions."
Since 2007, the average price of an adult ticket for Disneyland has jumped 67 percent to $110, while the price of a ticket at the front gate at Universal Studios Hollywood has climbed 88 percent to $120.
At Knott's Berry Farm in Buena Park, Calif., the front gate ticket price has jumped 50 percent to $75. Tickets to theme parks in Orlando, Fla., have increased at about the same pace.
One-day adult tickets for Walt Disney World have increased 51 percent to $107 in the same period, while prices for Universal Studios Orlando have jumped 64 percent to $110. Annual pass prices have increased at an even steeper rate.
Armendariz's annual pass has jumped nearly 140 percent since 2007, when it cost $259.
The ticket price increases are not only higher than the 20 percent increase in the Consumer Price Index since January 2007, they also outpace cost increases for most other entertainment. In roughly the same period, movie theater tickets nationwide have jumped 26 percent to an average of $8.65, according to the National Association of Theatre Owners, a lobbying group.
In big cities, prices are considerably higher, but the industry doesn't publish that data.
The average ticket for the top 100 concert tours in North America is now $76.55, up 24 percent since 2007, according to Pollstar, which tracks data on the concert industry.
The average price for general-seating tickets _ which don't include luxury suites _ at a Major League Baseball game is $31, up 36 percent since 2007, according to Team Marketing Report, which tracks the prices of professional sports teams.
If you want to attend an NBA matchup, the average price for a general-seating ticket is $55.88, up 14 percent from 2007, according to Team Marketing Report.
Ski lift tickets in North America sold for an average of $105 last winter, up 61 percent from the winter of 2007-08, according to Liftopia, a website that sells lift tickets for ski venues throughout North America.
The steep increase in theme park ticket prices hasn't deterred the crowds. Disneyland attracted an estimated 18.3 million visitors in 2015, up 23 percent from 2007, according to the most recent report from Aecom, the Los Angeles engineering firm that publishes an annual roundup of theme park attendance.
Universal Studios Hollywood drew 7 million visitors that year, a 51 percent increase from 2007.
Several factors may explain why theme park ticket prices are rising faster than other entertainment costs. The parks have spent heavily on technology-infused attractions to boost demand, and they have passed some of that along to customers.
"Our business lives on repeat visitation," Speigel said. "Repeat visitation is built on capital investment _ or new products."
Universal Studios Hollywood opened the Wizarding World of Harry Potter expansion last year, part of a $1.6 billion upgrade to the park. Last month's increase to $120 for a ticket bought at the park's gate represented a $5 boost.
At Disneyland, bulldozers are moving mountains of earth to make way for a 14-acre, $1 billion expansion based on the "Star Wars" franchise. Disneyland ticket prices rose last month by $2 for a daily pass (to $110) and as much as $20 for annual passes.
While investing in flashy rides and themed lands, operators have done little to increase capacity, which allows them to raise prices for the limited number of tickets.
Destination theme parks, such as Disneyland and Universal Studios, are rarer than smaller regional amusement parks and are in high demand during the summer and spring breaks as well as a handful of holidays, such as Christmas, Easter and July 4. That is one of the reasons both Disney and Universal adopted demand pricing schedules last year. The parks now charge more for high-demand days such as holidays and less for low-demand days such as weekdays in the fall.
At Universal Studios, visitors who buy tickets online can save up to $21 off the price at the front gate.
"As long as there is demand, they will increase prices for those coveted days," said Naveen Sarma, a Walt Disney Co. analyst for Standard & Poor's.
Big amusement parks also have a reputation for imposing strong security measures, which is a comfort for parents who are willing to pay premium prices as long as they know their children will be out of harm's way, said Britt Beemer, chairman of America's Research Group, a consumer research firm. "They can charge these rates because parents feel their families will be safe," he said.
And although consumers can now stream movies and concerts on their smartphones, tablets and laptop computers, theme parks can be enjoyed only in person, said Dominique Hanssens, a marketing professor at the University of California, Los Angeles' Anderson School of Management.
That may explain, he said, why concert and movie ticket prices have increased at a slower pace than theme park tickets. "Live forms of entertainment have become more valuable because they are rare," Hanssens said. "Digital is so abundant."

(NewsNation) — It's not science fiction: Flying cars could be coming to Los Angeles by 2028. Mayor Eric Garcetti has launched a nonprofit to develop air taxis in an effort to reduce daily commute times.
Known as the Urban Air Mobility Partnership, the organization will work with Archer, Hyundai and other design teams to set the standard in city regulations around future airspace.
The group of heavily funded tech companies has already begun testing on dronelike electric planes, which would target commuters tormented by bumper-to-bumper traffic. According to their projections, the popular commuter route from Santa Monica to downtown LA would take just nine minutes by air taxi.
Other cities around the country have also shown interest in flying taxis, with the goal of collapsing travel times to a matter of minutes. Dallas, Texas has been exploring the possibility of a skyport in an effort to convince companies such as Uber to invest and utilize air travel.
Critics have expressed concern for the communities existing under these air paths, however, the fear being that air taxis could further divide underserved communities already separated by land-based freeways. For their part, the Los Angeles department of transportation has already begun to discuss potential regulations the taxis could face, focusing on noise levels, impact on overall quality of life and safety for passengers and citizens below flight paths.

Vehicle Wraps: Why We Recommend Wrapping Indoors?
Who's hot? I'm hot! (Mostly because the AC is broken at home and it feels like 100 degrees inside and out.) Part of me can't wait until those mornings where you wake up with a numb nose because it's so cold outside the blankets…ahh, winter! If you're having a vehicle wrapped, you must be wondering if it's affected by the crazy weather as much as you are. Also, how does the heat or cold effect your vehicle wrap installation. You are hitting on the reasons an indoor car wrap installation is preferred.
When it is too hot, vinyl becomes sticky and stretchy. Think of it as a marshmallow you left in the sun too long. You simply can't smear it onto a vehicle. In the cold, vinyl becomes brittle and hard to stretch. Even when heated and applied, the vinyl might shrink in the cold once installed, causing gaps around the edges of, say, a window. For perfect install, we prefer to stay between about 55 to 75 degrees. A bit warmer or cooler doesn't make a huge difference depending on humidity and/or wind. (Ok, ok, if a van is coming to our facility, this doesn't matter anyway since we install solely indoors, but in the event we come to you, those are the factors to consider!)
We prefer an indoor facility for our installs. This accomplishes two things. For one, you are guaranteed your install date. Even if it's raining or freezing, we can still easily wrap your vehicle. For many businesses, even the larger ones, they cannot afford to have their vehicle off the road for more than a day. Second, well, the weather is fickle. It's really hard to determine if a rain storm or heat wave will affect the install. So, if you are the kind of business that can't 'go with the flow' make sure you're choosing a vehicle wrap installer that won't be affected by temperature.
Our climate controlled installation facility allows us to "weather" any environment!

Putting your house on the market can be an expensive (and stressful!) process. And estate agent fees are a big factor in the cost of moving house. So it makes sense that this is the reason some people choose to go it alone by selling a house privately.
Why it may seem appealing, selling your home privately isn't a completely straightforward process. It's important to have a full understanding of what you're getting into before going ahead.
What does selling a house privately mean?
Put simply, selling a house privately means selling your home directly to a buyer without the help of an estate agent. Estate agent's fees can be thousands of pounds and that's a lot of cash back in your pocket if you cut them out of the process.
Selling privately generally works better in a buoyant market when you're more likely to sell your home quickly, and at a good price. It can also be a good option if you already know someone who's interested in buying your house.
Is a private sale cheaper and will I get a better deal?
Although selling your home privately can save you thousands in estate agent's fees, going it alone doesn't necessarily mean you'll get the best price for your property. Plus there are marketing costs you may still have to pay out for.
'The average homeowner will save around £3,200 on estate agent's fees,' explains Jonathan Rolande from House Buy Fast. 'However, private individuals can't advertise on portals like Rightmove or Zoopla, so you could miss out on thousands of potential buyers. Fewer buyers usually means lower offers – likely a lot lower than the £3,200 saved.'
How much work is involved in selling my house privately?
If you are thinking about selling your home yourself, you'll need to be organised. You have to dedicate a lot of time to advertising the property. It's important to create a floor plan and a room-by-room guide when you market your home. Getting your house valuation right is also key.
'You'll need professional standard photos, a legally compliant description and adverts, a valid Energy Performance Certificate (EPC). And you'll have to field all of the calls and carry out the viewings,' says Jonathan. All of this can be tricky to manage alongside work and family commitments. Be realistic about the time you have available.
You'll also need to be prepared to deal with any difficult conversations or negotiations with buyers along the way. 'It doesn't matter how skilled a negotiator you might be. When it comes to dealing with your personal assets and making decisions involving your family it's impossible not to get emotionally invested,' says Clare Andrews, residential property partner at Moore Barlow. 'Without an agent, the transaction can be more stressful than it needs to be.'
Keep in mind that you should still use a solicitor or conveyancer to help you with the legal work involved. This includes work such as the freehold or leasehold documents and the property title deeds.
What are the pros and cons of selling your home privately?
Advantages of selling a house privately:
The amount you'll save in estate agent fees.
Being able to handle house viewings yourself,. You may feel you can represent your home better than an estate agent could.
Disadvantages of selling a house privately:
Setting a fair asking price for your home can be difficult and you'll need to do your research. The HomeOwners Alliance offers a free valuation service to give you an idea of how much your home is worth.
Getting buyers through the door can be a challenge. Be prepared to lower your asking price if necessary.
Going it alone also increases the risk of being exposed to fraudsters. 'Once you take an offer, will you know how to screen the buyer to ensure they are genuine?' asks Jonathan.
You need to weigh up the benefits of a private sale against the downsides, before coming to a decision about whether it's the right route for you.
Is it worth doing?
Selling a house privately can work brilliantly for some people. This is especially true when the property market is booming or if someone has already expressed an interest in buying the property. But it can be extremely time-consuming and stressful, so it isn't right for everyone. You have to ask yourself are estate agents worth it?
'Ultimately, estate agents can help to overcome any bumps in the road, making the sometimes challenging and difficult process of moving home a smooth process for you and your family,' says Dan Copley, consumer expert at Zoopla.
An alternative option – a compromise between the two – is to use an online estate agent, such as Yopa or Purple Bricks. These online agents are much cheaper than traditional high street estate agents (because they have less overheads), but they can also help you with advertising and property viewings, making the process of selling your home a little easier to manage.
