Agreement and Accuracy in Consensus Forecasts of the UK Commercial Property Market
AbstractProperty forecasts are an integral part of the property investment process at the strategic, tactical and individual asset levels. This study investigates the nature, extent and patterns of disagreement and uncertainty in the forecasts of UK property investors and their advisors. In this paper, the Investment Property Forum's consensus forecasts from 1999--2004 are analysed. The study finds that property forecasting organizations tend to exhibit the characteristics of a consensus, potentially indicating a herding bias among forecasting organizations. Given high levels of agreement and high levels of error in the consensus forecasts, uncertainty in the property forecasts of the individual organizations seem to be primarily generated by common factors rather than by the individual forecasting organization itself. This is not a unique feature of property market forecasters as non‐property forecasters display similar patterns. A key source of uncertainty in the property market forecasts of capital and total returns seems to have been due to problems of forecasting yield shifts. The analysis suggests that there are inefficiencies in property market forecasts.

Foresee the future. I see this in two ways.I suspect this Maxim is relating to thinking ahead and planning wisely for what may arise. Looking ahead and making plans are important, whether that's for later in the week or for our 5 year plans. I am a planner by nature. I like to have at least a vague sense of where I'm headed.

Maxim Monday: Use time sparingly
What does this one even mean? Is this trying to tell us not to waste time? Or to try and do things efficiently, so as to spend the least amount of time on any one task?We cannot 'use' time, as time is a mental construct humans have created. From what I understand, not all societies think of time or interact with it the same ways.Sparingly means meagrely, pieced out, prudently, with restraint. How do we use time like this?I have no idea.

Maxim Monday: Nothing to Excess
I have many people in my life who are passionate, possibly even obsessive, about their work or their hobbies or their loves. I fall into that camp, as well. It's important to devote the necessary time, energy, focus and love toward any thing we want to excel at - and I don't mean excel in a sense that there is something to 'achieve.' A thriving relationship takes time, effort, and focus. Finishing a challenging and beautiful book might take those things too.But to balance and refuel passion … [Read more...]

The older I get the more I see the wisdom in this maxim. Listen to everyone. Don't just smile and nod, but listen.As some one who is a very quick learner, I spent countless hours itching to get started on assignments or tests, having read the instructions myself, but forced to wait while the teacher spent 15 minutes on directions and trouble shooting tips for the rest of the class.

If you save paper sales receipts in case you need to make a return, you might want to come up with a plan B.
That receipt could end up blank. The ink - and your proof of purchase - could disappear.
It happened to Jo Ann Eady of Sulphur Springs. She was stunned when K-Mart called to say she hadn't paid last month's credit card bill. After all, she paid with cash and had a receipt to prove it. She thought it would be cleared up quickly, but when she pulled out the receipt, she found more bad news.
"It was completely blank," Eady said. "There was nothing there."
The words -- and numbers -- had completely faded. So Eady went back to K-Mart with her faded receipt, but no one could help.
"There was nothing they could do," Eady said. "They couldn't check it in their system because we're not talking about a short lapse of time. We're talking about a complete billing cycle."
And then the same thing happened with a product she needed to return, but this time, she had paid with a debit card.
"I had to get the bank statement and all of that, just to show proof of purchase," she said.
If you keep paper receipts, this could happen to you, too. That's because more retailers are using thermal paper. Heat and light fades the ink.
So what can you do?
Here are some things to try:
Use a hair dryer, on high heat. Make a copy of the receipt with a photocopier, on the darkest setting possible. Scan a copy of the receipt into your computer, then use a program like Photoshop to adjust the color levels. Also, ironing the receipt sometimes brings the ink back.
Even better, experts recommend copying important receipts as soon as you get them.
As for Eady, she hopes to never need to do any of this again.
"I no longer use cash when buying something," Eady said. "I use a check."

If you run an e-commerce site, blog or other web property there's a good chance you use Google Analytics to monitor traffic, look at visitor sources, and measure conversions. And while Google Analytics is quite powerful at looking at historic activity on your site, it lacks much in the way of predictive analytics. That's where R shines of course, and it's now quite easy to connect R to your Google Analytics account to make use of R's superior data visualization, forecasting, and other advanced analytics capabilities. Digital analytics expert Randy Zwitch explains how to use the rga package for R to access your Google Analytics data and import it into R. There, you can use all of R's capabilities to analyze the data. For example, you can use boxplots to look at the proportion of visits to a site via a Google search where the search terms are actually provided: To interface with Google Analytics you'll need an access token for the Google Analytics API console (the Tatvic Blog provides some tips for obtaining one). Once you're set up, you can run the code at the link below to create your own version of the chart above, or simply start using R to analyze your web traffic data. randyzwitch.com: (not provided): Using R and the Google Analytics API

To supplement this week's podcast, I thought I would post the review I wrote of Daniel Levin Becker's Many Subtle Channels on GoodReads. Matt Rowe is planning on writing up a full review of this book for Three Percent, but for the time being, here you go:
In reading this charming book, I tried to recall how I first fell in love with the Oulipo. It must've been through Dalkey Archive, and probably had to do with one of the wild-eyed booksellers at Schuler Books & Music, but I just couldn't remember . . . At first I assumed it was through Harry Mathews, whose books were being reissued by Dalkey at the time; it jus as easily could've been through Perec's A Void, since that's the most patently Oulipian work available in English and I remember pushing it on customers all the time. (And now do the same with my students.)
Then it suddenly came to me: When I was living in Grand Rapids, I went to a used bookstore just to look around, and found a mass market, old-school version of Raymond Queneau's Zazie in the Metro. For those who don't know, this part of Michigan is loaded with Calvinists and their moral baggage, so it isn't all that surprising that someone had scrawled across the title page of this book, condemning it as "erotic trash."1 SOLD!
But even then, I didn't really know what the Oulipo was. I mean, I got the concept—use constraints to write "potential" literature—and read almost everything I could get my hands on, but without the Wikipedia of today or knowledge of the French language, figuring out what this group of strange writers was all about was like solving a puzzle without any sort of picture to work off of.
Eventually, the Oulipo Compendium came out as did Oulipo: A Primer, and all the pieces/techniques—lipograms, S+7, complicated algorithms, x mistakes y for z—started to come together. That said, until reading "Many Subtle Channels," I don't think I had a sense of how the Oulipo as a group has functioned for the past 50-plus years.
As a member of the Oulipo, and the "slave" who organized its archives, Daniel Levin Becker is in the unique position that he can create a context for this group of writers who, as diverse as their are personality-wise, are connected by their love of puzzles, of new ways to generate texts, of learning, of seeking out puzzles, of creating the linguistic labyrinth from which they try to escape.
For anyone who isn't already steeped in Oulipian lore, I highly suggest you read this book, then pick up Queneau's Exercises in Style, Perec's Life A User's Manual, Calvino's If on a winter's night a traveler, and Mathews's Cigarettes. After you read all of those—and possibly some of the info you can find online—you're likely to be hooked on this way of writing and reading for life.
What's interesting about this book to readers already familiar with the Oulipo and its crazy fun literary stylings is the way in which Levin Becker builds a context around the development of the Workshop while bringing up some really interesting questions about the nature of Oulipian writing: Is it better to reveal the constraints or make the reader figure them out? If the reader knows the constraint, is that the end of their interpretation/enjoyment of the book? How has the group's dynamics and goals shifted from the post-WWII years to 2012? What's the point of all this madness?
There's a lot of great stuff in here worth quoting, both in terms of examples and explanations, but I'll just end this here with one short paragraph that reminded me of why Lost was so damn good, and why only some people were cool with the eventual ending (I think this proves that I can pull Lost into just about every book discussion):
A good solid search, especially for something you'll probably never find, drives the plot forward both on and off the page. The less you know, the more you want to know. Hitchcock knew it as well as Homer did: get the audience invested in the pursuit of a puzzle piece, be it the key or the antidote or the identity of the dead man, and they'll follow you for as long as it remains missing. That's why it's so hard to write a satisfying ending: "solutions," Mathews says, "are nearly always disappointing."
1 Not exactly true. See this for the correct insult that somebody laid on Queneau's novel.
One of the greatest services—or disservices, depending on your viewpoint—Bertrand Russell ever performed for popular philosophy was humanizing its biggest thinkers in his History. No longer were they Platonic ideals, the clean-shaven exemplars of the kind of homely truisms that. . .

The Renaissance in Rome. A token to Michelangelo and Raphael25 October 2011 – 12 February 2012 The exhibition entitled "The Renaissance in Rome" investigates for the first time the artistic, architectural and town planning aspects of the XVI century in Rome.
Curated by Maria Grazia Bernardini and Marco Bussagli, the exhibition is divided into seven sections which document the sixteenth century's artistic course through the transition from the extraordinary and superb masterly skill of the High Renaissance, still imbued with classical culture, to an art strongly influenced by a new and enthralling religious spirituality.
The exhibition shows masterpieces such as the 'self-portrait' and the portrait of 'Fedra Inghirami' by Raphael which have both been exceptionally lent by the Uffizi Gallery of Florence, Michelangelo's 'David-Apollo' from the Bargello National Museum, the 'Portrait of Cardinal Reginald Pole from the Hermitage and many others by artists such as Perin del Vaga and Francesco Salviati.
Fondazione Roma has restored several important works for the occasion, amongst which the Michelangelesque Pietà from Buffalo, U.S.A. (actually attributed to Michelangelo by some experts) which is actually exhibited.
The exhibition also shows completely unpublished educational apparatus such as a three dimensional reconstruction of the Sistine chapel and Raphael's Loggia di Psyche.

DALLAS -- It's a family reunion of sorts, at Baylor's cancer center.
The journey starts with Stacy Bockholt.
"To see the familiarity of the doctors, nurses -- it's comforting," she said. "I triumphed something, and I'm coming back to see where it all happened."
Pregnant and diagnosed with cancer, doctors in Houston told her to terminate her pregnancy. They said it was too risky.
Unwilling to do that, Bockholt turned to Baylor.
There, Dr. Pickett Scruggs created a device to block the radiation from her baby, Kate. Scruggs walked Bockholt through remission and watched her bring a healthy baby girl into this world.
Now 16, Kate is back at Baylor, possibly wanting to become a radiation oncologist herself.
She's shadowing to learn more. But it gets better.
Her mentor is Dr. Scruggs' son.
"We overlapped for one year -- he came in the front door, I went out the back door," said Dr. Pickett Scruggs.
"That's the one thing about oncology, you really get to know the inner part of somebody," said Dr. Granger Scruggs.
Granger Scruggs grew up hearing about Kate's journey, and now their paths cross again.
"I called my husband, I said, 'The circle of life just happened,'" Bockholt said.
"It's a miracle, in a way," Dr. Pickett Scruggs said.
"It's rewarding to save people's lives," Kate Bockholt said, because she knows firsthand, they are forever grateful.
Kate also has a jewelry business that raises money to help find a cure for cancer. You can support her business at this link.

Indiana shoots for its 20th victory today against Northwestern.
This is the only meeting in the regular season between the teams. The Wildcats have won six of the last seven in the series.
Verdell Jones III is expected to return for No. 18 IU (19-6, 7-6 Big Ten). The senior guard has missed the last two games because of a shoulder injury.
Northwestern's Reggie Hearn, a Snider graduate, is averaging 7.5 points and 3.5 rebounds.
The Wildcats' (15-9, 5-7) three-game losing streak ended Sunday at Purdue. IU has won two in a row.

David Cameron and George Osborne are seen as out-of-touch toffs – David Davis
When sorrows come, they come not as single spies but in batallions. In David Cameron's case, those batallions often include one David Davis, late of the SAS and the Conservative shadow cabinet.
Ben Brogan has already identified the need for the Government to look and sound like it understands the rest of us. Mr Davis, the former shadow home secretary is making a similar point, in a rather more aggressive way. He's has given an interview to BBC Radio Four's World at One, in which he warned that the Cameron-led Conservatives risk losing the "hard-working aspirant" working class. "You can't win an election without them," he noted.
Because of austerity measures, those people feel they've been "pushed off the escalator", he said. "They start to resent those at the top of the escalator, and that works worst against Conservatives."
"They look at the front bench. They see them, all very well turned out, well-fed, they look like they're in a completely different world"
Does he think the Cameron leadership is out of touch?
"It's an unfair allegation, but it works."
A "whole range of things" – pasties, child benefit cuts, granny tax, are hurting the Conservatives, he said. "They all come together to make people think, 'these people don't know how our lives work'."
For good measure, DD ended by lobbing a grenade at the No 10 press operation and recent media coverage.
"If I was in Downing Street, I would be worried about this," he said.
Mr Cameron, he said, too often looks like he's "acting a part" and needs more "straight sincerity".
"You can't do this by listening to 25 year-old PR people. That's not the way."
Now, DD has form for turning up the pressure on Mr Cameron and friends, but this is kicking the PM where it really hurts: senior Tories are all too aware that the "out of touch" attack is one to which they are vulnerable. Mostly, they think they can survive such jibes from Labour because of the Opposition's various weaknesses. Coming from the blue corner, it's rather harder to brush off. Most worrying of all, Mr Davis is not a lone voice in the wilderness: he's saying publicly what a fair few Tories – so far – have only said in private.

I use to have a pretty and polished biography, it was in third person, formal and gave the facts...but it never really described me. As of late I have been seeking a new life of authenticity, a life where I am ok to show who I really am, to open myself up, to let people see me. So here it goes!
I am a girl that is fiercely independent, I really believe anything is possible! I want to do more for our world but have no clue how to start and maybe have already started? I question everything, always on a quest to know myself a bit better, I'm a gemini and we are curious little creatures. I am a newfound spiritual student, always expanding and bending what I thought about the world. I love stories and am perpetually interested in other people and their stories (I have a webseries about that called The Diamond Life). I love the environment and have no idea how to contribute to the preservation of it but deeply want to and am working towards it. I believe in the strength and empowerment of women and want to contribute to that dialogue. I create things, beautiful things, with script writing (my current script is a feature film called Rosaline), acting (think Kate Hudson meets Sienna Miller), and filmmaking (check out the short film 90 days). I love the past and feel a deep connection to the late 1800's/early 1900's (past life, yes I must have been a flapper girl or Eugenia Tucker Fitzgerald) and through that connection I have always loved antiques and vintage clothing (check out my vintage shop: Ana Loves). I live in Toronto in the most unique and brightly lit Victorian house with one of my best friends. I love my family, I admire and love coming from a Croatian culture, the ancient ties run deep and have shaped who I am. I am a hopeful (not hopeless) romantic, I'd rather give a high-five than a hug but that doesn't mean I don't believe in love: true, mad, deep crazy love and that is the kind I seek.
I am always looking to create and collaborate with like-minded folks (preferably ones that say ya'll) and would love to hear from anyone that has a passion to create film, art, photography...a movement?
For me its all about storytelling and community, so email me! firstname.lastname@example.com

Wasteland - TV Pilot from Ana Alic on Vimeo.
Wasteland is a television pilot co-created by Ana Alic. The series follows two girls as they try to make their mark in a new city and discover you cannot wait for life to happen, its up to you to write your own story. It's about getting a second chance to find out who you are. The city is a breeding ground for the self-indulgent, disillusioned twenty-something crowd who pursue fame at any cost. Their restless chase quickly finds them lost in all night dance parties with bodysuit clad girls taking photos in hazy nightclubs. Toronto's hipster elite occupy city burrows with lost dreams of becoming famous. But underneath the parties and pretty girls exists an urban wasteland. The reason for the city's allure is the promise of having it all; it's the insatiable desire inside all of us to make it. But are we prepared for the cost?
I don't know how it is for other people but my life seems to be all or nothing. Either everything is happening at once, every project, every opportunity and every idea or I am at a stand still. This summer has been a quiet one for me and gave me the opportunity to really think about what I want, to reevaluate my life and to really dive into my spiritual practice. Maybe I just needed a breather, a moment to be still and get back to the root of who I am. So what did I learn in all this. Well I learned that my soul craves constant change and being a part of multiple projects and even though I want them to be perfect I have to just dive in and see what happens. Sometimes if we wait for the perfect moment we might be waiting forever!

This fashion fridays post goes out to the super talented Jordan de Ruiter and her fall collection! Jordan's line is known for it's tulle dresses and super feminine silhouettes but for fall she decided to add a 90s grunge vibe to her classic pieces. I was thrilled that she asked me to model for this collection shot by the lovely Scarlet (who I am going to Nashville with very very soon!).
The People's Climate March is happening September 21st and I will definitely be there for this monumental moment in history. I have been a huge supporter and follower of the incredible organization Avaaz, a community that brings to light and impacts causes all over the world. When they sent out an email several weeks ago asking what the community thinks would be a great way to share the message of the upcoming People's Climate March, I wrote to them with the idea of a video campaign giving a face to the climate change cause. I feel like many people had the same idea and was thrilled to receive an email asking everyone in the community to send a clip for Avaaz's climate video: #worthsaving. It's amazing to see this online community band together and create tangible change. I jumped at the chance to create my video submission, filming in my favourite location in High Park, a gorgeous rural escape in the heart of Toronto. Here is the video that I created with the help of my super talented photographer neighbour Sarjoun Faour.
Procrastination is fear. I read that on a blog today and thought how true that statement is. When we put off doing things for "the right time" we are simply afraid. Afraid of the outcome, afraid of failing, afraid we don't have the right resources and afraid of what other people will think. But that fear is not real, it's something we create in our mind, conditions and stories we tell ourselves. But you are capable of being and doing anything you feel called to do, you just need to start. You will never truly be ready for anything, so why not start? It is really as simple as doing one small act a day. And this could be anything: research, an email, a phone call, asking for advice, reading a book on the topic...and eventually one thing will lead to another and another until you reach your goal.
I will tell you something I am afraid of. This september 21st there is a people's climate march that is happening because the heads of state are meeting in New York for a climate summit. There will be groups congregating all over but mainly in New York. I have signed up for this march and upon researching if a march is occurring in Toronto I have yet to find one. Which leads me to possibly creating one if I do not find an organization already starting one. This is so terrifying to me but I know that it is something I need to be a part of. To find out more about this go to peoplesclimate.org
Anyone with more information on this or would like to join me in this endeavour and in the Toronto area, email me! firstname.lastname@example.com

They planned the most amazing, colourful, detailed, unique and fun pastel pool party.

I have wanted to visit Nashville longer than I can remember. From what I have read and seen and heard it seems like the place where I belong, where my soul longs for. I have been planning a trip for the end of August, a road trip and photo shoot and all the parts are coming together and I couldn't be more excited. Here are some inspiration photos for the vision I have for the shoot.
Not too long ago I was hanging out with some friends and we were sharing embarrassing stories and the topic of journals came up. I remember that I still had mine from when I was in high school. I immediately went looking for it, found it and opened it up. The first page I found was a list I wrote when I was 16, I had forgotten that I wrote this. The list was things I wanted to accomplish in my life and on it was - to become an actress. This surprised me because I didn't remember feeling this way and always believed I came to this revelation years later. When I was 16 I was incredibly shy, awkward and a huge science geek and I believed I could only work in the medical field, that acting was meant for other people, that I was somehow not worthy of such a thing.
I still pursued that medical career, even working in the ER for nearly three years, but no matter what I did I could not shake this desire in me. And now I am pursuing that dream I had when I was 16 and it took many years to move past all the resistance. When I let go of the need for anyone to believe in me and for anyone to understand my journey, it all fell into place. There is a freedom in owning what you want to do and who you want to be, it's your own journey, your own life. And sometimes we may not know what that journey is, and that is ok! Just remember it's your journey.
I am not one to shy away from colour, in fact I welcome it. And the right colours (pinks/orange/purple/turquoise) with the right prints make for some really cool and bold looks. Mixing prints can sometimes be a scary thing to do and if done the wrong way makes you look a little over the top. I think the key is to stick to the same tones and vibe. I have a southwestern vibe going on with my look in both the top and the shirt. The top is actually a shift dress I tucked into my shirt, I do this with alot of my dresses to add some extra variety to my wardrobe. For me its always a feeling, I will try something on and it should just feel right and make you feel great! This whole look (minus the vintage boots and cute cali tote) is from my favourite shop, obviously the one and only Bicyclette. Oh and pictures by the lovely Scarlet O'Neill and the boys are just well dudes at the coffee shop, ha.
Ok I got a confession. I have too many projects on the go. I just cant help it, my mind is always swirling with new ideas and new things I want to try and explore. I am blaming it on being a gemini, I can do that right? ha! With my multiple film projects, auditions, blog posts for bicyclette and a slew of other things I do there never seems to be enough time to do them all. I am not Superwoman, I am not even Sailor Moon(but that would be really cool). So I could pick one thing and just go with it...but since that totally goes against my personality and nature I am just going to have to live with the fact that each of my passions will come into fruition when the time is right. And one of those projects happens to be a vintage etsy shop. I love vintage and frankly my closet just cannot hold all the pieces I have collected. It's time to find them a new home. So this is still in the works but my hope is that I will have the shop up soon! Here's a little preview :)
I have an instagram series called monday mantra and I know that it has really inspired me and has got me through the monday blues and I think people really enjoy a little jolt of inspiration. I wanted to continue the series but on the blog so I can reflect on the concept a little bit more than I can on instagram.
This week's monday mantra is simple and true: be you. Being authentically you is so powerful. We have all been created unique and I really believe we each have our own journey and purpose. Being you is following that authentic voice within and believing their is a reason why you are here. When we live by the constraints of others peoples ideas or what we believe we should be doing we are depriving the world of our own unique gifts that only we can give. Being you is believing that you can be and do whatever is calling to you. Believing in yourself comes from loving yourself. Our beliefs are things we can create and can change at any point.
My girl Oprah says is best in her life class when she discusses one of her favourite versus in the bible which goes..."if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'move from here to there' and it will move, nothing will be impossible for you" I love this concept that faith can move mountains, and regardless of what you believe in, your belief in YOU in being YOU will guide you to your desires.
So what is your heart calling you to do? Mine seems to change by the day and for a while I thought that was a bad thing, that I was only allowed to focus on one thing and only be one thing. Then I realized being ME was having many interests and wanting to do many things and that is totally ok. Some days I want to be a designer, other days a script writer, other days a good daughter and a good friend. I want to do it all, all my passions and why not!
Being you, whatever that you is is the best thing you can do, it will bring you happiness and joy.

Health Insurance and Job Mobility: Evidence from Clinton's Second Mandate
AbstractIn this paper I analyse data from the 1996 panel of the Survey of Income and Program Participation to investigate the effect of employer-provided health insurance (EPHI) on job mobility from March 1996 to February 2000. First, I estimate the effect of EPHI on four month job turnover. I find that, after accounting for unobserved individual heterogeneity, holding EPHI induces substantial mobility reductions for all demographic groups, ranging from 31% to 58%. Second, I evaluate whether the 1996 Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act succeeded in mitigating insurance induced mobility reductions and I find that it did not.

Day 8: Amusement Park and Goodbye Dinner
Woke up to a slight drizzle but got ready and went to the amusement park. We had to wait about a half hour for them to test the rides but then did get to go in. Because it had been rainy and a bit cold the park was completely deserted except for us and another smaller group for the first few hours. Eventually more people did show up but we didn't wait on a single line all day. Although I ...

So it's been a less than straight forward arrival into Paris, we stayed over night in a TravelLodge just outside of Healthrow last night which was a bit difficult to find and having to get there straight after work then get up at half 6 to go to the airport has left us a little tired to say the least. The flight was shorter than I expected and I …
Day 27 - Souffles for dinner tonight!
... so out came the purse and the rest is history.
Back to the hotel for a rest, dump the shopping and have a few charges before dinner.
We headed out at 7:30, suitably primed for a good dinner experience. Le Souffle is only a 10min walk from our hotel but in a direction we hadn't explored much in the past. Eureka!! We discovered another street of clothes/dress shops along the way. Which made for a slow walk as Sue was eyeballing all the shop windows ...
A Day for Kings and Queens!
... so we gave up and went back down to find our train back to the hotel. We got back to the hotel around 10:30. Most of the group went back to their rooms and went to bed, while a few of us went to watch the soccer game (France was playing Ecuador). Not the most exciting game, 0-0 tie, but it's always fun to watch the World Cup! Today we are off to Chartres and Tours ... Can't wait for the kids to see the chateaux! Miss you all at home ...

We left Port-en-Bessin with high expectations but little room in the car. At Versailles, we marveled at the opulence of the royal palace and tried to catch up on the history of the French monarchy. To grossly oversimplify, many kings were named Louis and Louis XIV built Versailles while outliving his son ...

When we got there, I had to run to my platform, but more like waddle-run because I was carrying my heavy bag. When I was finally right in front of the train, my French cell phone fell out of my pocket, and the world halted to slow motion as I watched it skid about 15 feet in front of me, and ever so slowly skid right under the train. So then I had a 10 second mental ...
