Unless you're a firm believer in the power of SK-II's allegedly miraculous Pitera ingredient, there is no reason in the world to spend this much for a serum. There are plenty of brilliantly formulated serums that cost less than $60 and offer skin a broader range of anti-aging benefits than this one. Besides, if this is SK-II's "ultimate" serum then what are all of their other serums for? Are they not as good because most of them cost less and aren't described as "ultimate"? And what about the fact that there are far more formulary similarities than difference between all of the SK-II serums, despite varying claims and wildly different prices? In the end, this is an OK (though still absurdly priced) fragrance-free serum for normal to oily or combination skin. For the money, it leaves your skin wanting more so please don't fall under the spell of SK-II's Pitera nonsense and spend your hard-earned money under the mistaken notion that this is finally the ultimate anti-aging serum.
Rich treatment that helps improve the skin s texture and softness. This formula helps to vigorously hydrate skin to fight the signs of aging. It replenishes essential moisture to optimize skin tone- leaving skin soft, delicate, moist and with a healthy glow.
Aqua (Water/Eau), Saccharomycopsis Ferment Filtrate, Butylene Glycol, Glycerin, Pentylene Glycol, Sodium Hyaluronate, Hexapeptide-3, Polyglyceryl-10 Myristate, Pentaerythrityl Tetraethylhexanoate, Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate, Xanthan Gum, Diphenyl Dimethicone, Sodium Hydroxide, Sodium Benzoate, Methylparaben, Disodium EDTA
SK-II At-A-Glance
Strengths: Some well-formulated moisturizers and serums; all of the sunscreens provide sufficient UVA protection.
Weaknesses: Shockingly expensive, especially for the wide assortment of mediocre products; unreliable skin-lightening products; AHA/BHA products that contain an ineffective amount of exfoliant; no products to help manage blemishes; jar packaging.
Procter & Gamble, as always, is extremely helpful in providing information about their products. In this case it was for their upscale SK-II skin-care line. We certainly can't say that about most companies. We have to acknowledge P&G for having the integrity to share their "inside" details with someone like me, who might be more critical than complimentary. Thank you, P&G!
Regrettably, and we mean that sincerely, we wish we had more positive comments to convey, but alas, we don't. The data provided don't change the reality about skin care and the ingredients that can have an impact on skin. SK-II products are hardly worth the price, especially when compared to Olay Regenerist and Definity (P&G's own drugstore line of skin-care products). In fact, it takes only a quick review of the formulas to note that many SK-II items are very similar to Olay Regenerist items, except that the latter don't include Pitera, the supposedly miracle ingredient in this line. Yet there is minimal research indicating that Pitera is even helpful for skin.
Pitera is the cornerstone of the SK-II line and is present in every SK-II product. Pitera is the trade name for Saccharomycopsis ferment filtrate (SFF), a form of yeast purportedly unique because of the fermenting and filtering process it goes through before being added to these products. As it turns out, many forms of yeast have anti-inflammatory properties and antioxidant properties, including SFF (Source: Journal of Dermatologic Science, June 2006, pages 249–257). Other than that, all of the information about Pitera comes from papers presented at medical conferences, not from published studies. Presenting papers at medical conferences is not at all the same thing as publishing the results of studies. We frequently present papers and information at medical conferences, and we wouldn't offer that material as proof of anything because it isn't. The standards for presenting a paper at a medical conference are very different from the requirements for publication of study results in most medical journals.
To give P&G the benefit of the doubt, even if Pitera is a wonder ingredient, this doesn't explain how it rates when compared with other "wonder" ingredients because there are no comparison studies. Hundreds of ingredients—ranging from green tea to superoxide dismutase, epigallocatechin-3-gallate, eicosapentaenoic acid, beta-carotene, pomegranate, and curcumin to vitamin E, vitamin A, and on and on and on—have stellar reputations, and there's copious documentation to prove it.
Another point to consider: If Pitera deserves the spotlight SK-II shines on it, then P&G needs to change their claims about Olay Regenerist and Definity, and at the very least say that these products are almost as good as SK-II except we left out the Pitera. Ultimately, unless you believe Pitera is the answer for your every skin-care need (because each and every SK-II product contains it, with very few other added extras), there is no reason to waste your time and energy on this line.

After three years of small-steps planning and abbreviated events calendars, the "Bring Our Music Back - Summer Nights at Harkness" concert series has announced a wildly diverse and expanded 2013 season.
Starting on July 18 with a soul retrospective - Larry Marshak's Tribute to the Marvelettes, Platters and Cornell Gunter's Coasters - BOMB presents five consecutive weeks of concerts in Harkness State Park in Waterford, ranging from rock and jazz to pop and opera. The headliners comprise seven decades' worth of legendary singer-songwriters and artists.
Also booked: folk-pop star Judy Collins (July 25), influential rock legend Leon Russell (July 31), the elegant jazz legacy of The Duke Ellington Orchestra (Aug. 8) and an "Opera Under the Stars" finale with tenor Carl Tenor and the Connecticut Lyric Opera Orchestra (Aug. 15).
"We're growing. We're so thrilled about where we stand across the board," says Gail Stevens, executive director of the nonprofit organization which, last year, secured a five-year contract with the State of Connecticut to hold the Bring Our Music Back events in Harkness.
Noting the success of recent BOMB seasons, in which musical styles began to expand stylistically beyond the classical concerts associated with the site's popular Summer Music series, Stevens says this year's season is decidedly diverse.
"Frank (Bombaci, Sr., the outfit's chairman of the board) was adamant about having cross-generational appeal," she says. "We want to have something for everyone. In coming up with this lineup, we're really trying to speak to the history of music and its evolution to current day."
BOMB also is dedicated to the support of younger, area artists. Each concert will have a support act selected from the region that stylistically complements the headliner.
Of course, part of the timeless appeal of the summer concerts tradition in Harkness is the ritual of friends and families gathering to celebrate the season through music, food and drink, and social interaction. To that end, picnicking is once again encouraged. Bring your own, or picnic dinners will be available on-site or pre-ordered from Coffee's Country Market in Old Lyme
There are a variety of ticket options. Advance lawn seats are $25 in advance and $35 at the gate ($20 each for groups of 10 or more). Two subscription packages are available. Choose general admission lawn seats to any three concerts for $69, or for all five events for $99.
In addition, reserved seats at VIP tables are offered for $125 per person and include beer/wine, hors d'oeuvres, a picnic dinner, meet & greet with the headliner and a swag bag. VIP subscriptions are available, too: three shows for $375 or all five for $499.
As always, active-duty military personnel and children age 12 and younger get in free.
"The idea is to keep it simple but beautifully produced," Stevens says. "We've been so grateful for the community involvement these past three years. We are very aware that people loved Summer Music, and we want it to be that way again. We've worked very hard make this happen, and our five-year goal is to have a season with 10 concerts."

This book presents eight varied scenarios of possible global futures, emphasizing the interconnectedness of three drivers of change: energy prices, economic growth, and geopolitics. Other published global future scenarios focus on only one of these factors, viewing, for example, economic growth as unaffected by energy prices or energy prices in isolation from geopolitical conditions. In this book, Evan Hillebrand and Stacy Closson offer a new approach to scenario construction that acknowledges the codependence of these key drivers and integrates qualitative analysis with a quantitative model.
The eight scenarios represent possible combinations of high or low energy prices, strong or weak economic growth, and global harmony or disharmony across three time periods: the 2010s, 2020 to 2040, and 2040 to 2050. The "Regional Mercantilism" scenario, for example, envisions high energy prices, weak economic growth, and global disharmony. To impose numerical consistency across scenarios, Hillebrand and Closson employ the International Futures (IFs) model developed by Barry Hughes. (Interested readers can download this interactive model to alter or build scenarios themselves.) Assessing the probability of each scenario, they conclude that increased U.S. energy supply and the sustainability of the Chinese growth miracle are the most significant drivers over the next forty years.
Liberal internationalism has been the West's foreign policy agenda since the Cold War, and the West has long occupied the top rung of a hierarchical system. In this book, Hilton Root argues that international relations, like other complex ecosystems, exists in a constantly shifting landscape, in which hierarchical structures are giving way to systems of networked interdependence, changing every facet of global interaction. Accordingly, policymakers will need a new way to understand the process of change. Root suggests that the science of complex systems offers an analytical framework to explain the unforeseen development failures, governance trends, and alliance shifts in today's global political economy. Root examines both the networked systems that make up modern states and the larger, interdependent landscapes they share. Using systems analysis—in which institutional change and economic development are understood as self-organizing complexities—he offers an alternative view of institutional resilience and persistence. From this perspective, Root considers the divergence of East and West; the emergence of the European state, its contrast with the rise of China, and the network properties of their respective innovation systems; the trajectory of democracy in developing regions; and the systemic impact of China on the liberal world order. Complexity science, Root argues, will not explain historical change processes with algorithmic precision, but it may offer explanations that match the messy richness of those processes.
Politics matter for financial markets and financial markets matter for politics, and nowhere is this relationship more apparent than in emerging markets. In Banking on Democracy, Javier Santiso investigates the links between politics and finance in countries that have recently experienced both economic and democratic transitions. He focuses on elections, investigating whether there is a "democratic premium"—whether financial markets and investors tend to react positively to elections in emerging markets. Santiso devotes special attention to Latin America, where over the last three decades many countries became democracies, with regular elections, just as they also became open economies dependent on foreign capital and dominated bond markets. Santiso's analysis draws on a unique set of primary databases (developed during his years at the OECD Development Centre) covering an entire decade: more than 5,000 bank and fund manager portfolio recommendations on emerging markets.Santiso examines the trajectory of Brazil, for example, through its presidential elections of 2002, 2006, and 2010 and finds a decoupling of financial and political cycles that occurred also in many other emerging economies. He charts this evolution through the behavior of brokers, analysts, fund managers, and bankers. Ironically, Santiso points out, while some emerging markets have decoupled politics and finance, in the wake of the 2008–2012 financial crisis many developed economies (Europe and the United States) have experienced a recoupling between finance and politics.
Nobel laureate economist Milton Friedman once noted that free immigration cannot coexist with a welfare state. A welfare state with open borders might turn into a haven for poor immigrants, which would place such a fiscal burden on the state that native-born voters would support less-generous benefits or restricted immigration, or both. And yet a welfare state with an aging population might welcome young skilled immigrants. The preferences of the native-born population toward migration depend on the skill and age composition of the immigrants, and migration policies in a political-economy framework may be tailored accordingly. This book examines how social benefits-immigrations political economy conflicts are resolved, with an empirical application to data from Europe and the developed countries, integrating elements from population, international, public, and political economics into a unified static and dynamic framework. Using a static analytical framework to examine intra-generational distribution, the authors first focus on the skill composition of migrants in both free and restricted immigration policy regimes, drawing on empirical research from EU-15 and non-EU-15 states. The authors then offer theoretical analyses of similar issues in dynamic overlapping generations settings, studying not only intragenerational but also intergenerational aspects, including old-young dependency ratios and skilled-unskilled conflicts. Finally, they examine overall gains from or costs of migration in both host and source countries and the race to the bottom argument of tax competition between states in the presence of free migration.
As New York State Attorney General from 1998 to 2006, Eliot Spitzer successfully pursued corporate crime, including stock price inflation, securities fraud, and predatory lending practices. Drawing on those experiences, in this book Spitzer considers when and how the government should intervene in the workings of the market. The 2009 American bank bailout, he argues, was the wrong way: it understandably turned government intervention into a flashpoint for public disgust because it socialized risk, privatized benefit, and left standing institutions too big to fail, incompetent regulators, and deficient corporate governance. That's unfortunate, because good regulatory policy, he claims, can make markets and firms work efficiently, equitably, and in service of fundamental public values. Spitzer lays out the right reasons for government intervention in the market: to guarantee transparency, to overcome market failures, and to guard our core values against the market's unfair biases such as racism. With specific proposals to serve those ends--from improving corporate governance to making firms responsible for their own risky behavior--he offers a much-needed blueprint for the proper role of government in the market. Finally, taking account of regulatory changes since the crash of 2008, he suggests how to rebuild public trust in government so real change is possible.Responses to Spitzer by Sarah Binder, Andrew Gelman, and John Sides, Dean Baker, and Robert Johnson, raise issues of politics, ideology, and policy.
This comprehensive and accessible book fills the need for a political economy view of global environmental politics, focusing on the ways international economic processes affect environmental outcomes. It examines the main actors and forces shaping global environmental management, particularly in the developing world. Moving beyond the usual emphasis on international agreements and institutions, it strives to capture not only academic theoretical debates but also views on politics, economics, and the environment within the halls of global conferences, on the streets during antiglobalization protests, and in the boardrooms of international agencies, nongovernmental organizations, and industry associations. The book maps out an original typology of four contrasting worldviews of environmental change--those of market liberals, institutionalists, bioenvironmentalists, and social greens--and uses them as a framework to examine the links between the global political economy and ecological change. This typology provides a common language for students, instructors, and scholars to discuss the issues across the classical social science divisions.The second edition of this popular text has been thoroughly revised and updated to reflect recent events, including the food crisis of 2007-2008, the financial meltdown of 2008, and the Copenhagen Climate Conference of 2009. Topics covered include the environmental implications of globalization; wealth, poverty, and consumption; global trade; transnational corporations; and multilateral and private finance.
Volatility in commodity prices has been accompanied by perpetual renegotiation of contracts between private investors in natural resource production and the governments of states with mineral and energy wealth. When prices skyrocket, governments want a larger share of revenues, sometimes to the point of nationalization or expropriation; when prices fall, larger state participation becomes a burden and the private sector is called back in. Recent and newsworthy changes in the price of oil (which fell from an all-time high of $147 in mid-2008 to $40 by year's end) are notable for their speed and the steepness of their rise and fall, but the up-and-down pattern itself is not unusual. If the unpredictability of commodity prices is so predictable, why do contracts not allow for this with mechanisms that would provide a more stable commercial framework? In The Natural Resources Trap, top scholars address this question in terms of both theory and practice. Theoretical contributions range across a number of fields, from contract theory to public finance, and treat topics that include taxation, royalties, and expropriation cycles. Case studies examine experiences in the U.K., Bolivia, Argentina, Venezuela, and other parts of the world.

Crisis in the Global Economy is the latest and most innovative collective reflection on the state of global capitalism, developed in the mobile "multiversity" of the UniNomade network of international researchers and activists during the months immediately following the first signals of the current financial and economic crisis. It constitutes the first organic and interdisciplinary attempt to analyze a crisis that is not merely financial in nature but implicates globalization and neoliberal capitalism.
Crisis in the Global Economy begins with the recognition that the current financial crisis is a systemic crisis of the entire capitalistic system as it has been developing since the 1890s. Taking as its premise that today's financial markets are the pulsing heart of cognitive capitalism, financing the activity of accumulation, Crisis in the Global Economy shows how the flow of capital rewards production that exploits knowledge and controls spaces beyond traditional business. The ineffectiveness of the extraordinary economic measures taken by single nation-states over the past few months demonstrates that this crisis is of a completely different order. A financial crisis that affects the "real economy" shows that financialization is one of the most recent and perverse articulations of capitalism.
The contributions to Crisis in the Global Economy invite us to consider exit strategies from the current crisis—strategies that may lead us toward a new horizon of constructing the common.

Guns and Butter examines the causes and consequences of war from a political economy perspective, taking as its premise that a consideration of the incentives and constraints faced by individuals and groups is paramount in understanding conflict decision making. The chapter authors--leading economists and political scientists--believe that this perspective offers deeper insights into war and peace choices than the standard state-centric approach. Their contributions offer both theoretical and empirical support for the political economy perspective on conflict. Several broad themes cut across the chapters: war as an equilibrium phenomenon rather than an exogenous process; the interaction of politics, economics, and institutions and its effect on the frequency and severity of conflicts; the cost of fighting; and the often innovative character of conflict. Topics addressed include theoretical aspects of the ways in which domestic politics affects the decision to go to war; globalization and its effect on the net supply of terrorism; open markets and the likelihood of war and domestic insecurity; the costs of going to war in Iraq as compared to the costs of containment; the economic effects of the Rwandan genocide at a household level; and the evolving industrial organization of terrorist groups. ContributorsBrock Blomberg, Bruce Bueno de Mesquita, Ethan Bueno de Mesquita, Steven J. Davis, Michelle R. Garfinkel Edward Glaeser, Gregory D. Hess, Kai Konrad, Kevin M. Murphy, Peter Rosendorff, Stephen Sheppard, Stergios Skaperdas, Constantinos Syropoulos, Robert H. Topel, Marijke Verpoorten
Unless Europe takes action soon, its further economic and political decline is almost inevitable, economists Alberto Alesina and Francesco Giavazzi write in this provocative book. Without comprehensive reform, continental Western Europe's overprotected, overregulated economies will continue to slow--and its political influence will become negligible. This doesn't mean that Italy, Germany, France, and other now-prosperous countries will become poor; their standard of living will remain comfortable. But they will become largely irrelevant on the world scene. In The Future of Europe, Alesina and Giavazzi (themselves Europeans) outline the steps that Europe must take to prevent its economic and political eclipse.Europe, the authors say, has much to learn from the market liberalism of America. Europeans work less and vacation more than Americans; they value job stability and security above all. Americans, Alesina and Giavazzi argue, work harder and longer and are more willing to endure the ups and downs of a market economy. Europeans prize their welfare states; Americans abhor government spending. America is a melting pot; European countries--witness the November 2005 unrest in France--have trouble absorbing their immigrant populations. If Europe is to arrest its decline, Alesina and Giavazzi warn, it needs to adopt something closer to the American free-market model for dealing with these issues.Alesina and Giavazzi's prescriptions for how Europe should handle worker productivity, labor market regulation, globalization, support for higher education and technology research, fiscal policy, and its multiethnic societies are sure to stir controversy, as will their eye-opening view of the European Union and the euro. But their wake-up call will ring loud and clear for anyone concerned about the future of Europe and the global economy.

In a recent change, Gmail has started supporting cache control, a mechanism for websites to indicate how long it's OK to keep content for without requesting an update. While this change does not address all of the capabilities that caching impacted, it does improve the situation for some of them.
I wrote late last year about changes to how Gmail handles images and the impact for marketers. My thanks to Jordan Cohen of Movable Ink for a heads up on a more recent change.
You may recall that Gmail started caching images in emails and doing so in a way that had a number of negative impacts for marketing messages, including loss of location, referrer, browser identification, cookies, timing, and total counts. These losses were mitigated by Gmail's subsequent decision to load images by default, thereby increasing counts and improving how most marketing messages looked.
In a recent change, Gmail has started supporting cache control, a mechanism for websites to indicate how long it's OK to keep content for without requesting an update. While this change does not address all of the capabilities that caching impacted, it does improve the situation for some of them. This is most important to companies that are dynamically serving image content, such as Movable Ink and LiveIntent.
One might reasonably wonder why the Google cache didn't support cache control in the first place. Web caching has a bit of a checkered history and many websites effectively discourage caching of all their content, thereby undermining the reliability of cache control instructions. It's also possible the Google developers were just being lazy - their original problem didn't require cache control so they never implemented support for it. Whatever the reason, they have relented and now support the cache control header.
This means that suitably configured image servers will be able to ensure that every email open results in a new image being served. This is great if you wish to:
What has not changed are all the other things we lost when the cache was introduced. Gmail still hides:
The net result is that of the six pieces of data we originally lost, this change gives back two (timing and counts) but not the others. I do not expect to see the other four pieces of data coming back, ever. Though they have legitimate value and uses, each of them can also be used by nefarious actors to undermine privacy and in some cases security.
As a marketer, if you see a jump in your Gmail open rates, it does not mean you've found some great content, rather than Gmail's total open rates are being recorded again. Which is good news, kind of.
Until next time.

Nodally Xenograte
April 10, 2014
Well, xenograte from nodally sounds pretty cool: loosely coupled software components in the cloud. Brad Cox's dream of snap together building blocks, finally realised. Yahoo Pipes, anyone? I've even hacked around similarly motivated code myself, but never got so far of course. The problem with these new paradigms is that they ask you to throw away all your old software assets so you can rebuild them again in the new framework. A bit like media companies asking us to buy the same content over and over on different formats: LPs, tapes, CDs, audio DVDs, downloads, pono, VHS, DVD, bluray…. Why can't someone find a way to breath fresh life into existing assets without reengineering them. Why not, indeed?

Just fixed one of those infuriating Visual Studio link errors. There's lots of good stuff on stackoverflow, of course, but this one was a bit more subtle. It's still probably quite common though, if you're integrating code with differing build systems. The root of the problem is linking code built with Visual C++'s own STL with code using STLport. There are various tools and options in Visual Studio that will help you find the root of the error.
dumpbin: command line utility to dump all the symbols defined and referenced by a binary. You can use it on .exe, .lib and .obj files.
undname: command line utility to undecorate C++ names. Given a mangled name it will demangle it.
/P: compiler option to write pre-processor output to file as a .i file. Useful for seeing which headers are actually pulled into each unit of compilation.
/VERBOSE: linker option which will tell you which libraries and objects are searched, and which symbols they resolve.
BT HomeHub 2 limited connectivity
March 23, 2013
Going off topic here, as this isn't etrading related, but I'll blog it as I suspect others might be having problems with Windows 7 and 8 PCs dropping connections to BT HomHub 2 modem routers. If you're connection only lasts for a few minutes, and then shows as "limited connectivity" it could be because recent Windows does DHCP differently than Homehub. I found an MS KB article that suggests adding a registry flag in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Services/Tcpip/Parameters/Interfaces/{GUID}. The flag is called DhcpConnEnableBcastFlagToggle, it should be a DWORD, and be set to 1. There may be several GUIDs under Interfaces, depending on how many Wifi hubs your PC talks to. Look inside each and examine IP addresses to figure out which is the Homehub.
CPU cache size
September 21, 2012
Here's some code I wrote back in 2009 to figure out the L1 and L2 cache sizes on a Windows host. It works by populating an area of memory with randomized pointers that point back into that same area. The randomization defeats stride based attempts by CPUs to predict the next cache access. The size of the memory region is stepped up in powers of two, and timings taken. The timings should show when the region size exhausts the L1 and L2 caches. This code illustrates why control of memory locality is so important in writing cache friendly code.

C++ Disruptor
September 20, 2012
I've collected some handy links on the Disruptor and lock free programming in general here. I'm coding up a Windows specific C++ Disruptor implementation at the moment, using the Interlocked* family of Win32 API functions. I'm using the volatile keyword, in the Microsoft sense to enforce the code ordering intent on the compiler, and the Interlocked functions to address cache coherence when there are multiple writers to, for instance, the RingBuffer cursor.
Penny jumping on EBS
September 20, 2012
EBS is an FX ECN owned and operated by ICAP, a cash FX equivalent to Bloomberg or TradeWeb. It's been in decline for some time as flow shifts to single dealer platforms. Here's an interesting NY Times article on how introducing an extra decimal place in their prices resulted in a fall in trading volumes. It's an interesting illustration of how market microstructure choices can affect participant behaviour. A key phrase in the article is: "But that fifth decimal attracted super-fast computer traders, often disrupting the flow of liquidity on the EBS platform"
So how did the high speed traders disrupt the flow of liquidity ? Note that EBS's cash FX trading is organised as a limit order book. Introducing an extra decimal creates 10 times as many price levels in the order book, which in turn makes penny jumping much easier for quick automated trading strategies. Which is obviously going to piss off the other market participants, who end up paying the spread earned by the penny jumpers. Larry Harris has an excellent discussion of penny jumping it in his seminal "Trading and Exchanges", but the Wikipedia link has an adequate explanation.
No doubt considerations like the ones above motivated the rates dealers making govt bond markets on MTS when they decided not to admit hedge funds.
Progress ?
June 6, 2012
prog21 blogs that progress in software tech is slower than one might think. I suggest it's slower than even prog21 thinks, possibly negative even. Xerox had the Alto running in 1973, and it had a GUI & mouse, TCP/IP networking and a Smalltalk-72 programming environment. So how much fundamental progress has there been since 1973 ?

The growth in acquisitions and divestitures raises unique considerations for the transfer of liabilities and the need to adequately structure appropriate insurance programs to transfer these risks, particularly in today's economy.
Organic growth may not be feasible; many companies see acquisitions as the only way to provide growth, and divestitures as the sole solution to exit unwanted assets. Additionally, an acquisition may provide the fastest and least expensive method to fill a gap in a company's technology or product line.
Under claims made insurance programs, the policy in force on the day of the lawsuit or claim responds rather than the insurance policy that was in force the day of the incident or occurrence. Issues may arise, however, if a policy is cancelled upon an acquisition or divestiture and a lawsuit is brought in the future (e.g., one year later). Similarly, asset only transactions where liabilities are not passed to an acquiring company may raise concerns as well.
Unfortunately, these issues are often an afterthought, particularly for professional service firms with respect to professional liability/errors and omissions (E&O) insurance coverage. Typically, the acquiring company provides E&O coverage for claims arising out of acts that occur after the transaction date. However, the acquirer's insurance policy will likely exclude coverage for the target/acquired company's acts that took place prior to the merger or acquisition.
The traditional method of dealing with these liabilities was to purchase an extended reporting period endorsement or policy. In recent years, however, the trend has been to incorporate the prior acts into the acquiring company's policy(ies). In these situations, the acquiring company should weigh the advantages and disadvantages of adding the liability for past acts of the target company to its insurance program or purchasing an extended reporting period.
A third option is to leave the liabilities uninsured. However, most professional services companies have contracts in place that require that coverage be maintained for a certain time period after the contract period. The following analysis examines E&O insurance options for insureds that accommodate for mergers and acquisitions activity.
Extended reporting periods are also known as tail coverage, run-off, or discovery periods. Most claims made policies automatically convert to run-off as of the date of a change in control and run to the end of the natural policy period.
As is the case with the automatic run-off period, purchase of an extended reporting period endorsement or policy provides insurance coverage for claims made during such period that arise out of wrongful acts that occurred prior to the effective date of a change in control. In other words, this is a form of prior acts coverage.
To reiterate, this tail coverage/extended reporting period does not extend the policy term for new acts; it simply provides more time to report claims arising from past acts. If an endorsement to the existing policy is purchased then the limit of liability is not increased; it merely extends the existing policy limit of liability through the run-off period. An extended reporting period endorsement should be purchased from the existing insurer while an extended reporting period policy can be negotiated with either the existing insurer or a new insurer.
If the entity being acquired is only a part of the selling company—such as a subsidiary or division—the seller's E&O policy will likely continue to cover any acts that occurred while the divested operations were owned by the seller. Therefore, the acquiring company can add the newly acquired operations to their policy for acts occurring after the acquisition date and rely upon the seller's insurance program to cover the acts occurring prior to the acquisition.
Marsh recommends that clients explore all available options to find a solution that best fits their risk transfer needs early in the acquisition negotiation process in order to achieve the most appropriate program terms and conditions. Please contact your local Marsh representative or the following E&O experts to discuss this topic in more detail.

ceiling versus floor vents
Is there a difference in efficiency between floor versus ceiling vents.
I don't think it matters much on the first floor of a 2 story house which has 8 foot ceilings. Floor vents are in a better position for heating since warm air rises. Ceiling vents are better for cooling since cool air drops to the floor.
The situation I think it does matter is on the second floor when the vents are in positioned between the attic floor and ceiling. You may get cold air drafts from the vents and air return. I think this set up is energy inefficient.
it is dependent upon where the hvac system
& ducts will be located.
crawlspace, basement are floor installs
attic is ceiling install.
where are you locating heating system & ducts?
best of luck.
this is a conversation you should be in on.
putting the system & ducts in extreme hot/cold
attic will effect performance.
putting it in a crawlspace will make access
difficult & service a pita.
if ducts aren't well attached & well mastic
sealed in either of these locations it
is a problem the homeowner ..you..
will deal with. builder & hvac will be long
gone. warranty on hvac is for equipment only.
ducts sucking in attic or crawlspace air
cost you, the person living in the house.
have a conversation with whoever
stay involved. builders go on to the next
house, you will live there & pay the bills.
best of luck
A lot of this depends on where your air ducts will be and how your home is laid out. Many times you have no choice whether or not they are on the top or bottom. Another thing to take into consideration, and this is something many people have commented already is that hot air rises and cool air falls. If you live somewhere where it is hot most of the year, I would say try and put them on the bottom, if you live somewhere cold most of the time, bottom vents work best.
I have been in a very limited number of homes that have supplies in the walls and there are high and low positions in at each point. I suspect that the high ones are supposed to be closed in winter and the low ones in summer. If you can do it that way it will probably work best, but cost more.

- What is a "finished" basement?
What is a "finished" basement?
First, it has to be heated, since in most parts of the country you cannot live in it all year round without heat.
Second, electrical, fire, and other safety codes must be met. You need so many outlets per foot of wall space, a smoke detector, and usually 2 emergency exits from the area, Usually this is accomplished with a door and window. Since you don't have any windows…I'm not sure. I'm also not sure about ceiling height
Third, exposure to hazardous materials, such as insulation and such, cannot be. Essentially, you need to cover those problems with drywall or equivalent.
Last, it is your municipality that determines what is and is not living space. If you want to finish your basement and count it as living space, you will need to get approval from them. When you are done with the project, they will issue you an occupancy permit, officially designating it as living space. Of course, you run the risk of raising your taxes, but on the other hand, you cannot legally count the space as part of the house's living space, for loans, resale, or whatever, unless it also appears on your assessment report. It's one of those nasty ways people who finish their basement without a permit get burned when they go to sell.
I think those are the main points. Your municipality may have more detailed requirements you will need to follow.
