Test Automation (TestComplete) | Software QA
Malaysia - Last active: 4 months ago - Tests: 8
For more than 3 years, I have worked as Software QA Engineer particularly in the field of Test Automation with TestComplete. I developed and maintained Automation Framework consisting of the base, namemappping and common tools and functionalities written in VBScript which form the core structure for the automated scripts to be developed and executed. I worked along with my team members to develop the automated test scripts from test cases and had them executed on daily basis in physical and virtual machines from which the test results were sent to a repository and subsequently distributed to relevant stakeholders. Test products are of various platforms: Delphi, .Net, C#, JSP, Foxpro; and of various domains: Accounting, Taxation, Corporate Compliance. Apart from doing automated testing, I do carry out Software QA work which includes test preparation, and test execution on the the above mentioned products. As my previous job experience encompass Software Development in various languages: Java, JSP, MS Access, and Accounting and Auditing, which I would describe below, these would come handy for software testing particularly where product and technical knowledge is required. Respectively I have 3 years work experience in Auditing and Accounting. In Accounting, I had done full set of accounts: General Ledgers, Account Receivable, Account Payable, Bank Reconciliation and prepared the monthly management accounts: Balance Sheet, Income Statement, Cash Flow Statement using Accounting softwares such as Peachtree, MYOB, and Quickbooks. On bank reconciliation, I improvised my own approach to save up more than 40% the time using conventional approach.

CMT to Debut INSTANT JAM: FLORIDA GEORGIA LINE, 10/18
Last night, superstar duo Florida Georgia Line surprised a small group of fans with a pop-up concert at Nashville's Exit/In as part of CMT's INSTANT JAM: FLORIDA GEORGIA LINE, premiering Saturday, October 18.
FGL's Tyler Hubbard and Brian Kelley tweeted out an announcement to fans about their secret show earlier in the day, and by noon fans were lined up around the block from Exit/In to obtain their wristband. The packed show featured a set list of smash hits from their 2X Platinum debut Here's To The Good Times, including PLATINUM-certified hits "Stay," "Get Your Shine On," "Round Here," "This Is How We Roll" and MULTI-PLATINUM record-breaking debut "Cruise," which has sold over 8 million downloads and is the best-selling digital Country single of all time (SoundScan). The talented pair also treated fans to the GOLD-certified, Top 10-and-climbing lead single, "Dirt," as well as new songs from their upcoming album Anything Goes, due out October 14 on Republic Nashville.
Florida Georgia Line is the SECOND ACT to stage an INSTANT JAM for CMT. Last week, Kenny Chesney surprised fans in Athens, Ga. with his own pop-up concert. Each episode of INSTANT JAM features live performances and captures all the excitement and energy as artists reveal to fans how to score tickets to an exclusive show in their area, while giving a behind-the-scenes look at the hours leading up to their concert.
Fans can catch Florida Georgia Line out on the road as direct support for Jason Aldean's BURN IT DOWN TOUR, in addition to their own headline dates, including the "This Is How We Cruise" aboard the Norwegian Pearl in November. FGL has teamed up with Coors Light to throw a massive tailgate party, kicking off GEORGIA-FLORIDA weekend with the ANYTHING GOES TAILGATE 2014 on 10/31 in Jacksonville, FL. They have also launched the Dirt Campaign, to benefit global nonprofit Habitat for Humanity, which creates affordable housing for low-income families.

On Tuesday, ConAgra Foods (CAG) announced it would sell its private label food brands less than three years after it spent $5 billion to buy it.
Today, Standard & Poor's Ratings Services today placed all of ConAgra's ratings, including its 'BBB-' corporate credit rating and 'A-3′ short-term corporate credit and commercial paper ratings, on CreditWatch with developing implications. "We will resolve the CreditWatch listing following our review of the financial and business impact of the announced divestiture, including the use of proceeds, capital allocation plans, and strategy for the company's remaining assets," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Bea Chiem.
From the release:
Upon completion of our review, we could lower the ratings if we lower our assessment of the company's business risk profile or the company's financial risk profile weakens because of more aggressive shareholder policies or divestment of a material portion of its branded business. Alternatively, we could raise the ratings if the company applies sale proceeds to debt reduction and demonstrates a plan that will likely improve our assessment of the company's business or financial risk profile, including a financial policy consistent with a higher rating. We could affirm the ratings if pro forma credit protection measures are likely to remain near current levels during the next two years, including leverage between 3x and 4x, and we do not revise our business risk assessment.
S&P estimates that ConAgra had roughly $7.9 billion of reported debt outstanding as of May 31, 2015.
Puerto Rico's debt problems are bad news for some U.S. financial names, like MBIA (MBI), Assured Guaranty (AGO), and Ambac Financial Group (AMBC), which BTIG says are too risky given their exposure to the commonwealth's debt.
With U.S. firms stand to be hurt by a default, some may be wondering if the U.S. government will step in to help. But don't hold your breath on that, says Guggenheim's Jaret Seiberg.
In a note out today, Seiberg writes that he doesn't believe the Financial Stability Oversight Council sees Puerto Rico's problems as a big enough threat to domestic banks. Certainly, he notes that "the financial crisis has taught us that regulators can get very creative when disaster strikes," and if the FSOC did see an imminent threat, it could get the Federal Reserve or Treasury involved, but that doesn't seem likely at this time.
Moreover, without the FSOC, there's not much that the Fed or Treasury could do alone. And given that the Treasury secretary also serves as FSOC's chairman, a more interventionist approach would need to start with his boss, the President—and Obama hasn't indicated he's pursuing this approach.
In fact, Seiberg argues, the FSOC may be inclined to avoid stepping in at all costs, to avoid setting a precedent:
In our view, FSOC may actually worry that intervention with Puerto Rico could actually set the stage for a systemic event by suggesting to investors that the federal government will stand behind all municipal and state debt. This would open the door for financially strapped local governments to borrow even more. That means defaults could be even bigger and more severe down the road.
In some ways, the current crisis may actually diminish the risk of a municipal/state debt default in the future triggering a systemic event by reminding investors that there is risk in these markets.
Our view is that FSOC and other federal officials do not believe a Puerto Rican default would damage the view investors have of U.S. Treasury debt. To us, there would have to be a perceived threat to the Treasury market to change the view of federal officials to the Puerto Rican crisis.
While federal officials would probably like legislation that would make a Puerto Rican default more orderly, Seiberg warns that that could be difficult to get past legislators, as it could be painted as a bailout for Puerto Rico and the government didn't step in when other municipalities defaulted.
On Wednesday, Standard & Poor's Ratings Services affirmed its 'CCC+' corporate credit rating on Sears Holdings Corp. (SHLD) and negative outlook.
That might not sound like optimism, but the firm also raised the issue-level ratings on Sears' $1.25 billion second-lien notes to 'B' from 'B-', and revised the recovery rating revised to '1′ from '2′, which reflects a very high (90% to 100%) expectation of recovery in the event of default.
In addition, S&P raised the issue-level rating on Sears Roebuck Acceptance Corp.'s (SRAC's) $327 million outstanding senior notes to 'B-' from 'CCC+' and revised the recovery rating to '2′ from '4′.
The moves come as S&P believes these notes have stronger recovery prospects than previously estimated, thanks largely to an increase in the value of Sears' real estate portfolio, i.e. the stores it will still own after the real estate investment trust transaction closes. The company's well known brands like Kenmore, Craftsman, and Diehard also factor into S&P's ratings.
From the press release:
"The rating affirmation reflects our expectation that the company maintains sufficient liquidity to fund cash losses from the retail business into at least late 2016, taking into account the proceeds Sears expects to realize from the pending REIT transaction," said credit analyst Robert Schulz.
"Because of the very high leverage from ongoing negative EBITDA versus existing debt balances, we continue to view the capital structure as unsustainable under our criteria, although we do not envision a near term credit or payment crisis. We believe the still-substantial unencumbered assets have value, potentially independent of Sears' current business struggles. We believe Sears could use these assets to generate liquidity, but progress in stabilizing sales and improving earnings and cash flow are important to avoid an eventual restructuring."
Of course, as the company's overall CCC+ rating shows, S&P knows it's not all perfect at Sears. They note that they expect weak operating performance through the rest of the year, and that its turnaround is by no means assured. While Sears will still have valuable real estate to generate liquidity, the company will have to make progress in stabilizing sales and improving earnings and cash flow to avoid an eventual restructuring.
Solar stocks have been one of the victims of market volatility lately, but Deutsche Bank thinks the weakness is a buying opportunity.
Analyst Vishal Shah and Jerimiah Booream-Phelps advise long-term investors to take a look at the sector. They write that YieldCos are a "significant growth catalyst for the solar and broader renewables sector," as they not only increase the availability of capital while also providing lower cost of capital.
Their research shows that YieldCos are in the "early innings of a multi-year growth cycle" and that Chinese solar valuations are far too low, as investors aren't giving any credit to successful execution of downstream IPOs.
Moreover, there are several reasons to believe that YieldCos won't weaken in the face of a higher rate environment:
First, the global growth outlook of renewables sector is only likely to continue improving as costs continue to decline and more markets achieve grid parity. Second, many of these yieldcos have an existing backlog of ROFO assets providing significant visibility for 3-5 years of growth. In a rising interest rate environment, we expect many of these yieldcos to compensate the higher dividend yield requirement by showing stronger CAFD growth. Third, global power rates should also continue to increase in a rising rate environment. Finally, we do not expect a significant increase in global interest rates, instead we see a much more measured pace of increase in interest rates. We believe every 100 bps increase in interest rates would require a ~600 bps increase in annual growth expectations to offset a relative yield impact and keep the stock price unchanged, all else equal.
Most major solar names, including Trina Solar (TSL), Yingli Green Energy ( YGE), JinkoSolar (JKS), JA Solar Holdings (JASO), Canadian Solar (CSIQ), SunPower (SPWR), First Solar (FSLR), SolarCity (SCTY), are in the red for the past year.
Real estate investment trusts have struggled against rising rates recently. Yet according to RBC Capital Markets, this is par for the course.
Analyst Rich Moore and his team have a new note out today, writing that as rates on the 10-year Treasury are up nearly 70 basis points since February REITs have underperformed the broader market sharply. Moore notes that while this may seem disconcerting on investors, in fact it's "been in line with what we have seen historically in terms of magnitude and composition of sector performance," and still doesn't rival the decline seen in the 2013 'Taper Tantrum'.
Moore says that in terms of sector performance "this pullback is straight out of the rising rate playbook," with the worst performers, healthcare, triple net lease, and industrial, logging double digit losses while multifamily, self storage, and lodging have seen very modest losses. This shakes out with RBC's own research, in that the former group is often the hardest hit in a rising rate environment, while the latter are among the least impacted.
So, since REITs seem to be playing out a familiar script, where should investors expect them to go next? Moore concludes that the pullback may be close to running its course:
During the five periods of interest rate increases that we measured, the bulk of the interest rate move occurs during the first three months.
During the first three months following an interest rate increase, the RMS underperforms the S&P 500 total return index by 4.2% but then outperforms the S&P index in each of the succeeding three month periods through 12 months.
By the end of 12 months following an interest rate increase, multifamily and self storage lead the pack while triple net and healthcare trail. The best upside moves during a subsequent bounce following an interest rate spike come from self storage and industrial in months three through six following the interest rate move.
With the impact of rising rates largely played out, they see the MSCI US REIT Index (RMZ) rising to $1,100, from $1,041 today.
Before Puerto Rico's debt problems boiled over earlier this week, the fact that the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority (PREPA) made the $416 million debt-service payment due today would have been a significant positive for bond insurers MBIA (MBI) and Assured Guaranty (AGO), which have $1.422 billion of gross insured exposure and $773 million of net insured exposure, respectively, to the utility's debt.
Yet that's not the case today, writes BTIG's Mark Palmer and Giuliano Bologna. One reason the payment would have been significant is that it could have facilitated the issuance of $2.95 billion in new debt by the Puerto Rico Infrastructure Financing Authority (PRIFA). That would have bought Puerto Rico "some breathing room" as it sought to avert a restructuring. Now, however the PREPA payment – as well as an agreement between the utility and its creditors to extend their forbearance agreement until September 15 – is only a "modest positive for MBIA and Assured Guaranty "insofar as much of the payment related to particular bond issues that they had insured."
Palmer and Bologna writes that while both stocks have taken a beating for their Puerto Rico exposure—MBIA hit a new 52-week low yesterday—there's still too much uncertainty for them to recommend bargain hunting, and they reiterated a Neutral rating on the stocks, suggesting options as the safest route to play these names.
They also reiterated a Neutral rating on Ambac Financial Group (AMBC), which has $2.44 billion of net insured exposure to Puerto Rico's debt, though no insured exposure to PREPA.
More detail form the note:
One question is whether the U.S. Congress will pass a law allowing Puerto Rico's public agencies to declare Chapter 9 bankruptcy. Sen. Charles Schumer (D-NY) announced yesterday that he would introduce a bill to allow such an action, while Puerto Rico resident commissioner Pedro Pierluisi has already introduced such a bill in the House. The media has issued conflicting reports about the amount of support these bills would have for passage, introducing another element of uncertainty into an already uncertain situation.
We believe the passage of these bills would be a negative for the bond insurers insofar as Chapter 9 bankruptcy would introduce the possibility of bondholder cram-downs that could negatively impact recoveries. We have observed that in municipal bond restructurings in which Chapter 9 has not been available, the bond insurers have typically realized better recoveries. (While municipal bond restructurings almost always result in negotiated outcomes, the insurers have more leverage in those cases in which bankruptcy is not an option.)
We continue to believe that bankruptcy risk is not a factor for AGO and MBI in the foreseeable future given both companies' capital cushions. Standard & Poor's stated in a report issued after the governor's comments that both companies have sufficient capital to absorb a default by multiple issuers in Puerto Rico, a position aided by the lack of acceleration in bond insurance contracts such that claims payments are made over time as they were originally scheduled to come due. S&P made no indication of a change to AGO's 'AA' rating or the 'AA-' rating of MBI's National Public Finance Guarantee Corp.
On a related note, Cumberland Advisors believes the second half of 2015 will be a better time for munis.
Shares of Monogram Residential Trust (MORE) are up 3.3% on Wednesday morning, following an upgrade from Morgan Stanley.
Analysts Haendel St. Juste and Gregory Van Winkle upgraded the stock from Equal Weight to Overweight with a $10.50 price target. They write that Monogram's valuation gap relative to peers should narrow in the second half of the year as overhangs begin to lift.
Monogram's portfolio is highly attractive and geographically diverse. It contains high-quality assets with low capital expenditure requirements in strong long-term markets. Yet investors can buy the stock for only 82% of year-end 2015 net asset value, versus 97% for the rest of the apartment space. Ultimately St. Juste and Van Winkle believe Monogram should trade closer to the peer group, at 95% of net asset value.
More detail from the note:
Organic growth should close the gap versus peers in 2H15. We expect +4.8% SS-NOI in 2H15 (vs 3.4% when we initiated), up from 1.7% in 1H15, as three headwinds have been resolved: (1) MORE has re-leased its early terminated corporate leases in DC, making 700 bps of DC SS-rev growth expansion likely by YE'15; (2) MORE has renegotiated its insurance policy, turning insurance costs into a tailwind in 2H15 vs a headwind in 1H15; and (3) Occupancy has ramped faster than expected (95%+ now vs 94% at YE'14).
PGGM JV deal and rising development yields have spotlighted external growth as an opportunity instead of a risk. We think outsized JV and development exposure were initially a drag on MORE's valuation given the complexity of the JVs and uncertainty in how development yields might trend (especially in Texas). However, two recent events have demonstrated that JVs and development are value creators more than they are risks: (1) MORE stabilized four development projects ahead of pro forma in 1Q15 (three of which were in "risky" Texas markets), adding $0.05/sh more NAV than we expected; and (2) MORE bought $225M of PGGM's JV interest in six assets at a 5.2% cap rate, which we think was 40-50 bps above prevailing market cap rates, creating $0.13/sh in NAV. Development now comprises 24% of GAV vs 30% at YE'14, and JVs now own 32% of GAV vs 37% before the PGGM deal. Lastly, we think that exposure to high-barrier Coastal markets can increase to ~75% from ~50% today through delivery of the development pipeline and recycling of capital from non-core asset sales into the captive acquisition pipeline that MORE's JV partners offer.
They also note that share liquidity is improving. This is due to two factors—the first being retail ownership turning over to institutions faster than expected: Institutional owners held 38% of shares at the end of 38% and Monogram estimates that figure has now jumped to 50%. The second reason is Monogram's addition to the Russell 2000 on June 26.
Cantor Fitzgerald's David Chiaverini initiated coverage on 17 business development companies on Wednesday, writing that they see the backdrop for the sector as favorable, which should allow for "unprecedented growth" in the coming years.
The stocks are largely trading cheaply, Chiaverini notes, as the group is trading below historical averages, on both price/book and price/net operating income (NOI) (and in line with its historical average based on dividend yield): "BDCs are currently trading at 88% of book value, 9.3x CY:16 NOI estimates, and a 9.4% dividend yield, compared to historical averages of 116%, 10.5x, and 9.5%, respectively. We believe the current discounts offered in the market provide a compelling investment opportunity for longterm, income-oriented investors."
And there are plenty of catalysts for the group:
Driving this expected growth is the implementation of regulatory rules related to Basel III, the Dodd-Frank Act, and leveraged lending guidelines, which are all expected to hamper the leveraged lending capabilities of the banking industry and CLOs, and thus provide increased opportunities for BDCs. Basel III is increasing capital requirements on banks, and we believe making it punitive to hold leveraged loans on balance sheet. Leveraged lending guidelines issued by the Federal Reserve, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), and Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) we believe are limiting the ability of deposit taking institutions to hold risky assets, including highly leveraged loans. CLOs have been a significant capital provider to the middle market over the past decade, and the Dodd-Frank Act is stipulating new risk retention rules that are planned to go into effect at the end of 2016 that we believe will curtail CLO participation in lending to the middle market. Furthermore, we believe credit quality is good overall for the BDC group and expect credit metrics to remain in a normalized range given the backdrop of consensus' view that the economy should expand over the next several quarters. Lastly, Fed Fund futures contracts are predicting the Federal Reserve will begin raising its benchmark rate later this year, and we believe a prolonged cycle of rising interest rates should benefit BDCs given their generally asset-sensitive balance sheets for rate moves above and beyond the first 150 bps.
His three favorite Buy-rated companies are Solar Capital (SLRC), Garrison Capital (GARS), and TCP Capital (TCPC). Apollo Investment (AINV), BlackRock Capital Investment (BKCC), Gladstone Capital (GLAD), and Saratoga Investment (SAR) also get a Buy rating.
His Hold-rated stocks are American Capital (ACAS), Ares Capital (ARCC), Fifth Street Finance (FSC), FS Investment (FSIC), Full Circle Capital (FULL), Goldman Sachs BDC (GSBD), Golub Capital BDC (GBDC), KCAP Financial (KCAP), PennantPark Investment (PNNT), and Prospect Capital (PSEC).
The just-ended second quarter was a difficult one for mortgage real estate investment trusts, as Maxim noted in picking its favorite mREITs earlier this week, as interest rates rose and spreads widened.
Today, Credit Suisse's Douglas Harter and Sam Choe have an update on the sector. They write that while there's no guarantee that interest rates won't rise further, they still see mortgage REITs as attractive give the average 24% discount to book value, although of course in a rising rate environment, much of the return will come from dividend yields rather than stock appreciation. (Their estimates still assume an interest rate hike from the Federal Reserve in September.)
Overall, Harter and Choe estimate that book values are down 2.3% for the group; factoring in dividends they see total economic returns of 1.2% for the sector.
Their favorite are mREITs that are creating operating businesses and can create their own investments, a group that includes New Residential Investment (NRZ), PennyMac Mortgage Investment Trust (PMT), and Two Harbors Investment (TWO).
Their research suggests that mREITs are better able to handle a rising rate environment now than in mid-2013, when 'Taper Tantrums' hit the market with the specter of interest rate hikes. On a related note, the discount to forward book value is 31.2% greater than at the end of the second quarter of 2013, during which mREITs traded at a premium.
The first half of the year wasn't a great one for municipal bonds, and not just because of the recent boiling over of Puerto Rico's debt problems.
Yet Cumberland Advisors' director of fixed income John Mousseau sees better times ahead for the muni market in the second half of 2015.
Certainly, the year started off with plenty of supply, which reached $179 billion through the end of May. In January, there was a 52% increase year-over-year, 111% in February, 45% in March, and 50% in April. This isn't surprising as many governments older, higher-coupon bonds are looking to refinance. However, this glut has made longer municipal bond yields cheaper to US Treasuries than they have been in a long time. Mousseau notes that many longer bonds of AA quality are trading at yield levels of 4% or higher.
He writes that the price of oil has been highly correlated with the volatility in the Treasury market, while the market has swung back and forth between concern over deflation from the oil drop and quantitative easing by the European Central Bank—not to mention the anemic first-quarter gross domestic product in the U.S. :
The 30-year US Treasury bond started the fourth quarter of 2014 at approximately a 3.20 yield, moved to a 2.20 by the end of January 2015, and has rebounded to the 3.20 range recently. This volatility made it difficult for municipal dealers to hedge inventory; thus, there has been a slight drop in liquidity of the dealer community.
There's also drama in Chicago, as the State of Illinois saw its pension reform legislation overturned by the Illinois Supreme Court, on the state's constitutional protection of pension rights. As Mousseau notes, this sent state-issued bonds climbing in yield and dropping in price and caused an even greater rise in the yields of general-obligation bonds issued by the City of Chicago.
Nonetheless there are reasons for hope as we begin the back half of the year:
Supply is starting to slow down. There is more refunding supply for sure, but the increase in supply is attenuating, and we think that this trend will continue in the second half of the year. As a result, there should be less supply pressure in the longer end of the market. We think that as this supply abates, the 4% tax-free yield will appear more and more compelling, especially compared to a comparable Treasury yield, which is currently at a 3.20% yield (125% yield ratio and clearly higher for the many bonds trading at cheaper than 4%). We think there is a tremendous amount of defensiveness built into the 4% tax-free yield. Even if Treasury bond yields rise later in the year in response to a Fed rate hike, the current cheapness of the muni yield should shield them from dramatic downside risk.
The Fed rate hike, whenever it comes, should result in better relative performance for muni bonds. Below is a chart showing the ratio of munis to Treasuries the last time we had a Fed rate hike back in 2004. As you can see, long muni ratios came down during the Fed rate hike and were in the 90% range compared to Treasuries. We are coming out of the economic straightjacket that has constricted the economy for the past seven years. The Fed's quantitative easing is done. The actual tapering of Fed buying produced lower yields, not higher. Inflation levels remain low, and below Fed targets. So we believe a return to normalcy is in the cards when it comes to tax-free bonds, and that means eventually much lower yield ratios than currently. And this should certainly be true with a Fed that will be very cautious about raising shorter-term rates.
Moreover, Mousseau believes that pension problems should become more manageable over time, and Chicago won't repeat the default of its neighbor to the north, Detroit:
Pension issues should become more manageable over time. Many states are trying to achieve some longer-term solutions, which include longer working years for current workers, a reduction in cost of living adjustments that were out of line with current inflation, greater contributions by current workers, and other measures. Illinois will clearly require some changes in their state constitution to achieve the necessary changes, but that is doable as well. Chicago is NOT Detroit. This is a vibrant city with population growth the last five years (like many US cities). It will require political cooperation – which clearly poses hurdles but is also doable. A better stock market the past couple of years has also helped pensions.
He concludes that "lower supply, already cheap yields, a return to normalcy regarding yield ratios, and a slow but steady progress on pensions all should combine to provide a better backdrop to the muni market in the second half of this year."

Samantha Nicol, 44, told the High Court in Edinburgh the man spent approximately half an hour in Ardgowan Street, Greenock, Inverclyde, in the early hours of June 2, 1986.
Ms Nicol told the court she saw the man walking up and down the street hours before 16-year-old Elaine's remains were discovered in a lane off the thoroughfare.
Ms Nicol - who used to live in Greenock - told advocate Donald Findlay, QC: "It just seemed irregular."
Ms Nicol, now of Motherwell, North Lanarkshire, was giving evidence in proceedings against John Docherty, 49, who denies murdering Elaine in 1986.
Ms Nicol told Mr Findlay, who is representing Docherty, she was watching TV when her dog started growling. She went to the window of her parents' home and saw the man walking along the street.
Ms Nicol thought the man was looking for the number of a house in the street. When Mr Findlay asked Ms Nicol whether she knew the man, she replied: "No." She said he spent approximately 30 minutes in the street.
The court later heard that Ms Nicol gave a statement to police on June 8, 1986.
Docherty, now of Dunoon, denies murder and claims that at the time he is alleged to have stripped and strangled Elaine, he was with his parents - who are no longer alive - at their home in Anne Street, Greenock.
Docherty has also lodged a special defence of incrimination. It claims the culprit may be among a list of 41 names. The trial continues.

text: All Over Color Stick is rated 3.9885 out of 5 by 697. Rated 5 out of 5 by lived from Works Great! I bought this about a week ago and was pretty skeptical, but for the price I figured I'd give it a shot. It actually works GREAT if you want to add in some color to your cheeks. It has a slight (nice) scent. It goes on pretty darkly but obviously once you blend it in, it looks very natural and you can always layer on more if you have darker skin. It's a little messy for what I used it for, but I used my fingers to blend it. You may have different results with a brush. Very easy to take with to travel, and I'm sure if you actually use it "all over" like you're able to, it would make a great addition to your purse, etc. if your makeup comes off constantly. Date published: 2015-06-13 Rated 1 out of 5 by Pandajoy from Doesn't last. Hard to blend/spread. Cakey. I bought this at my local Target store and decided to give it a go. It was really and I mean "REALLY" cakey. I had to cut the tip of for it to spread on my face. Which when I tried to have it spread on my cheeks, it wouldn't blend/rub in on my skin. I had persimmon to blend in for a natural look, but it didn't look natural, and it doesn't last long either, I may have bad luck with this but others may not. I do not recommend this. Date published: 2015-06-13 Rated 4 out of 5 by allthatglitter from Great Multiuse Product! I bought this product a couple of months ago (in the shade Persimmon), and didn't really use it until recently. It makes a great cream eyeshadow or base when you apply with your finger (I think the heat from your finger helps it smooth on easier.) It also looks gorgeous with my blue/green eyes. I brought this on the road with me recently, and I looked put together with some of this product on my cheeks and eyes, mascara, and lip gloss. I used it as a subtle blush this winter, and I can see myself using it as a highlight this summer. It didn't quite work out as a lipstick though because it was too light for my skin tone, but I'm very happy with the two other uses! Date published: 2015-06-09 Rated 4 out of 5 by Beth9277 from Really nice formula! I really like these! I was worried they would be sticky, but I like the consistency and how easy they are to blend. I typically use the darker two as blushes, and the lightest for a bit of a highlight. Date published: 2015-06-09 Rated 3 out of 5 by jaykay808 from It's eh The concept for the product is really cool and it's pretty versatile but it's REALLY greasy and it creases a lot. Date published: 2015-06-08 Rated 5 out of 5 by syl_sees_beauty from Pink Lemonade=Amazing Blush! I have these in Pink Lemonade, Spotlight, Golden Peach, and Persimmon. These sticks are SO AMAZING! They have a nice shimmer to them without being too chunky/glittery. I have sensitive teenage skin and this did not break me out at all or irritate it. Also, the colors are very nice and there are not any "filler" ones that you can't use. I will order Lilac Petal soon. I will give a description of each color below.Pink Lemonade: My personal favorite. It is a nice, medium pink color with a little shimmer. The shimmer does not come off glittery, however. This is my go-to cream blush. I did not like it at first, but I learned how to use it and LOVE IT!!! It is literally the only blush I have been using for the past 3 weeks. Do not try to blend it with your fingers or a sponge, as the product is not super-creamy. What I do is apply a little bit of the product to a flat-top foundation brush (I use the Studio Powder Brush) and tap it onto my cheeks, blending up onto my cheekbones. This method distributed the color evenly and delivers the perfect dewy finish.Persimmon: Of the four that I have, this is the one that I use the least. It is a pale shimmery pink/nude when swatched. It doesn't suit my NC25 (light/medium) skin as a blush or highlight, but it would look great on very pale skin as a blush, applied in the same way as Pink Lemonade. Also, it would make an awesome highlighter on NC35-NC40 skin (medium or olive.)Spotlight: BEST. HIGHLIGHTER. EVER!! I am not even joking. It is an ivory/cream color. It has a satin finish with a touch of shimmer. Apply onto cheekbones, nose, chin, forehead, and browbones with a stipple brush to achieve an airbrushed look. It has a creamier texture than the other colors, and can also be applied with the tip of a wedge sponge.Golden Peach: Great color, just not really my skintone. It is a pretty shimmery peachy-orange color with a golden reflect. I use it as a highlight in the middle of the lip when wearing a nude lipstick. On NW30-NW35 (medium) skin, it would make a good blush. On NW45-NW55 (deep) skin, it would look amazing and glowy as a highlight!I hope this review was helpful. Thanks ELF! Date published: 2015-06-07 Rated 5 out of 5 by jujubeez from AMAZING I bought this in the shade Pink Lemonade. It looks great as blush, lip shimmer, and eye shadow. I love is soo much and I bring it everywhere. and the price is just amazing Date published: 2015-06-07 Rated 5 out of 5 by Rebaz from Awesome used as cream blush I use the Pink Lemonade color as a cream blush, and it is perfect. Blends really well, and stays on. Very easy to use. I also tried spotlight on my brow bones to lighten the tone and highlight, but with not great results. I could see crease lines within a couple hours of application. Stick to using these colors on your cheeks - not eyes. Date published: 2015-06-06 Rated 5 out of 5 by mtb337 from My FAVE elf product of all time Such gorgeous colors, great pigment, and smells super great. Love to use it as a lip color. Date published: 2015-06-04 Rated 3 out of 5 by kirby319 from Okay, but... This product came perfectly intact about 4 weeks ago. I tried it the first day (I got it in the more peachy color, not pink) and it showed up pretty orange, but not bad at all. Sort of golden. I put this on my cheeks using my finger, it comes off too pigmented if you use the stick, and blended it with my liquid foundation brush. It did give me good color, but maybe that was from me trying to blend. It wore off within the hour though :/ and only kept a very subtle color on my cheeks, but is wonderful for the price.Would consider repurchasing. Date published: 2015-06-03 Rated 5 out of 5 by CharlotteJ from Great for a pop of sparkly color anywhere! I have used these as a blush, as a lipstick and even as a highlight in my inner corners of the eyes or on the browbone. I have the shades Golden Peach and Pink Lemonade. They blend out well with my fingers, a sponge ot a brush. They do have a sweet scent but it isn't an offensive one. Date published: 2015-05-20 Rated 5 out of 5 by Shimmer Shimmer from Gives such a nice glow! I have used this product instead of the traditional powder blush. Gives a nice shimmer, and natural look! I hope they get it back in stock soon! Date published: 2015-05-20 Rated 5 out of 5 by Rolyat from Fabulous I bought this as part of my first E.L.F haul and well, I love it!! It's a great product and it smells sooo good:) Date published: 2015-05-15 Rated 5 out of 5 by GlimmerGirlXXX from My MUST HAVE I have this product in Persimmon and Spotlight. AND I LOVE THEM BOTH! They are amazing highlighters and blushes. Or they can work as a base under powders for a slight glow. I use these all the time and even have Spotlight in my MUA kit. Date published: 2015-05-07 Rated 5 out of 5 by mimis from i love it i bought it and i love it. i look beautiiful in my skin Date published: 2015-05-01 Rated 5 out of 5 by becks028 from Love! Theses are seriously GORGEOUS. I use them as a blush. They are a bit shimmery but they just give you that glowy, dewy look. I am obsessed with the golden peach color but also have the pink lemonade which is a classic pinky color. They both smell like fruit loops (which is kind of awesome) and they are long lasting and super blendable. They were smaller than I thought they would be, but for a dollar I wasn't disappointed. I'm reordering right now. Date published: 2015-04-27 Rated 5 out of 5 by Honeycrisp from Beautiful color! I love the coverage and ease of applying. I use it as a blush. Lasts a long time and the color is natural. Date published: 2015-04-18 Rated 5 out of 5 by LiviKate from Great Deal! This is the cheapest blush/highlighter I've ever bought XD But it was a very good one!If you use lip products or rouges on your face, then you know how to blend cream products onto your cheeks.This is my favorite type of cheek product for a couple reasons:1. I have dry skin, and powder blushes can sometimes make my cheeks seem more dry. Whereas this balmy texture makes a nice glow to my skin.2. I am a ginger, so I think that having a touch of color on my cheeks works nicely.I have Pink Lemonade, but I would love to get the peachy shade. Date published: 2015-04-18 Rated 5 out of 5 by Silverwind from AWESOME I got this from walmart in pink lemonade (purely because that was the only shade they were selling, otherwise I would've gotten golden peach) and I was so surprised! It was smooth, applies perfectly like an eyeshadow and doesn't dry out or feather on your lips. It is a bit difficult to blend on your cheeks as blush, but definitely is worth it if you want a beautiful glow on your cheeks. I dab it with the stick on the hollows on my cheeks and then blend like crazy. The pigmentation is awesome and true to color, and when you put it on your cheeks, eyes and lips they all look like you used 3 different products. However the only complaint I have is that the bottle's size on the site is very deceiving. When I bought it the bottle was about this size of half my palm, which is tiny. Probably would have been more expensive if the size wasn't so small. Date published: 2015-04-09 Rated 5 out of 5 by MommaM from These things are awsome and for the price you cant beat it!! I have one in every color and love them all. There are many different uses for them. Date published: 2015-04-07 Rated 5 out of 5 by SmittyChica from LOVE LOVE LOVE! I bought this product at Target just to try, I had previously used other high end products that have the same affect.I fell in love, I can't find it in stores anywhere, guess everyone else figured out how good this stuff really is!Smells great and you CANNOT beat the price !Excellent product! Date published: 2015-03-13 Rated 4 out of 5 by cami1234567890 from very good it was very good, but it was hard to blend on my cheeks-it took my foundaition off. Date published: 2015-03-09 Rated 5 out of 5 by Judyfromkenosha from Perfect as Blush I bought all the colors cuz they were only a dollar. I loved the golden peach. The others did not look good on me. I came back for more golden peach. I hope my daughter will like the other colors. Hate to waste them. Shipping too expensive to return but glad I tried them all. I love the glow it gives me and it lasted all day. Date published: 2015-03-08 Rated 2 out of 5 by Seth from too drying Wayyy too drying on the lips. Makes them sooo chapped. Not even sure how I would use this as a blush because it's like a lipstick tube...very thick and cakey. Pretty colour, though, I sometimes use this on my lips despite the drying just because of the colour. But if I find a dupe I'm definitely switching Date published: 2015-03-05 Rated 5 out of 5 by Sharabolara from Great as a blush! I bought this in Golden Peach, and I swipe it on my cheeks for a peachy glow. Blending with your fingers works best for this product. On the lips by itself it's just ok, but I tried using it as a gloss on top of regular lipstick and it looks spectacular! I did also try it as an eyeshadow and it is too creamy and sticky for that - it creased even with primer and I just didn't like the way it looked or felt on my eyes. However, as a blush and gloss it is amazing and worth every penny. I'm going to be trying all of these out - I have a feeling the clear shimmery one will be a great highlighter! Date published: 2015-03-02 Rated 5 out of 5 by Judyfromkenosha from I love this I love this for my cheeks and after reading reviews I am going to try it for my lips when I don't want a lot of lipstick on me. I love the golden peach because that is what I mostly wear. Peach looks good on me. However sometimes I wear pinks so I bough the Pink Lemonade but no way is that pink. Wish I knew which one was pink. I am here now to buy more golden peach and going to try the lilac in hopes it goes with my Pinks. Everyone is different so when I see bad reviews on this I think well for a dollar try it. You may love it Worth the buy. Date published: 2015-03-01 Rated 2 out of 5 by EstaW from Too stiff for its intended purpose This is true to color etc and nicely shimmering, BUT.. too stiff, it doesn't glide on at all, it is rough and pulls the face, trying to get it on, and if you do get it on, now its too much. With a brush lapped over the top and then put on the face, it is somewhat workable, but again, stiff and hard to work with. Makes a decent day light shine and color to eye lids but, that is about all, which is a pity .. the color is SO pretty but the density makes it too hard to spread on the face for the shimmering intended.. soften out the mix so it glides... Date published: 2015-02-23 Rated 5 out of 5 by GreenEyedGina from Great coverage Just got my ELF order and I am so happy with all of my products so far! This still will be better used in the summer time! I don't mind rubbing it in either. Love the color. Lilac petal. Date published: 2015-02-23 Rated 4 out of 5 by pictob21 from Pretty good It's not perfect, but it's not horrible either. It works awesome for your lips, I haven't tried it as an eyeshadow yet, but only because I think it would work terrible for that use. For a cream blush, it works OK. It goes on as pigmented as you choose, but the biggest problem is trying to find the best way to blend it. I've tried blending it with my fingers and a brush, and neither worked great. Blending with fingers seems to be the best way. And even then it still doesn't look perfect. The color is very pretty with subtle shimmer. Date published: 2015-02-17 Rated 5 out of 5 by hyperbubblez from Works perfect! I never felt comfy wearing blush until this came along, I love this as blush, i haven't used it for anything else yet but I imagine it will be great... It blends really well and is a great color for me (used pink lemonade) Date published: 2015-02-03 All Over Color Stick Reviews - page 3 2015-07-07T09:25CST bvseo_cps, prod_bvrr, vn_cps_3.1.5 cp_2, bvpage2n co_hasreviews, tv_0, tr_697 loc_en_US, sid_1111, PRD, sort_mostRecent clientName_elfcosmetics

Books on teaching students with acquired brain injury in school
This in-depth examination and discussion of how to assess the impact of traumatic brain injury on children and adolescents has a special focus on reintegrating students to school and the community. It is a much needed and valuable resource for rehabilitation clinicians, educators, psychologists, neuropsychologists and counselors in hospitals, schools, and private practice.
Pediatric neuropsychologist Dr. Stephen Hooper addresses the limitations of many current assessment methods with particular attention to the developmental impact of childhood trauma on cognition. He then provides a detailed framework by examining specific assessment constructs and procedures for motor functions, sensory functions, attention, language, visual processing, memory and learning, executive functions, and social and behavior functions. Each chapter has a special section on research findings and clinical practices for children and adolescents with traumatic brain injury (TBI) with recommendations for assessment procedures and measures with detailed tables for reference. This book is essential for all clinicians working with school age children.
A student with a traumatic brain injury or TBI may have limited awareness of cognitive, social and behavioral difficulties. This can be challenging for educators as the student may resist supports and accommodations. This manual explains how brain trauma can affect self awareness and shows educators how to use awareness activities to help students with brain injuries in middle and high schools.
Special collection of story books for preschool and elementary school age children explains the effects of concussion and traumatic brain injury by describing changes in thinking and learning, emotions, and behaviors at home and in school. Includes 4 books.
Developing and implementing compensatory strategies for students with TBI or traumatic brain injury is complicated by multiple teachers and classroom changes in middle and high schools. This manual shows educators how to select a compensatory system, teach students how to use it, and monitor its effectiveness with adolescent students with a consistent plan for all teachers and classes.
Cognitive communication - or how the student with a traumatic brain injury (TBI) thinks and learns can challenge educators unfamiliar with TBI. This manual explains the dynamics of cognitive processes and classroom behaviors. Developmental challenges are explored with the increased language demands of English and Language Arts, Social Studies, Mathematics, and Science.Larning and Cognitive Communication Challenges is also available as an eBook click here.
Workbook for parents of children and youth with acquired brain injury shows how to work more effectively as partners with educators to address the student's special needs for education and support in the classroom. It shows how to apply 6 essential skills used by professional case managers to negotiate educational services for the student. Included with the manual is a CD with over 60 pages of printable worksheets.
Educating a student with a brain injury can be challenging for teachers and therapists unfamiliar with the immediate and long-term consequences of brain trauma. This manual describes the effects of acquired brain injuries on a student's learning, behavior, communication, cognition and adjustment in school and at home. There are strategies for instruction, support and accommodation with student vignettes.
Signs and Strategies is also available as an eBook click here.
Behaviors in students with brain injuries are often the most frustrating, confusing and problematic issue for educators and parents at home and in school. This manual explains how brain trauma can affect behavior in a student. It provides a systematic step by step approach to using applied behavior analysis to address challenging behaviors in students with brain injuries. The manual comes with a CD with all worksheets and forms.
A brain injury can have many physical, cognitive and behavioral consequences for students. This manual gives educators and parents a foundation for understanding the educational needs and behavioral challenges of children with traumatic brain injuries with in-depth discussions of how to help students think and learn and how to help students with behavioral challenges.

Here is the latest news on Flyers affiliated players in junior, college, and European hockey:
Canadian Junior Hockey
Guillaume Lefebvre: Lefebvre, who bounced around the Q last season, seems to have found a home in Rouyn. Through 10 games, the center has 10 points (2 goals; 1 powerplay, 1 shorthanded). He is getting steady ice-time.
Jeff Feniak: The big defenseman has been solid in his own end of the ice. He has also played physically- something he has to do to be successful. He has only one point (a goal) on the season but he will never be someone who can be tracked by points. More importantly, he has 30 penalty minutes and a +6 rating for Tri-City.
U.S. College Hockey
John Eichelberger: Did not play in the Wisconsin season opener. Started but did not score in their second game.
Colin Shields: Looking for ice time with U of Maine in the early season.
Antero Niitymäki: Continues to be the most exciting Flyers prospect outside of the North American pros. Came in the last TPS game (a convincing loss against Jokerit) in relief of Fredrik Norrena. Niittymäki may get the start in TPS's road game tonight against Tappara. For the season, Niitymäki has appeared in all or parts of 5 games, recording a shutout, a 1.85 goals against average, and .925 save percentage.

Yeah, it would be nice to see the French turn up and make a game of it as well.
For a final you want to play the percentage game. Perhaps, if you're NZ, you don't have to bother, though.
