Here are some useful demographics for Little Rock, Arkansas
Why are so few women pursuing careers in this field compared to other industries? The answer may lie in a higher prevalence of health and safety hazards, and one way to eliminate this barrier is the use of proper personal protective equipment and clothing (PPE/PPC).
Real-world experience in the construction industry is an invaluable and irreplaceable qualification; however, some professionals choose to increase their knowledge and marketability by achieving general or specialized construction certifications.
Things may finally be turning around for the construction market. After one of the worst economic recessions in US history followed by several years of recovery, it appears that construction starts and spending levels are beginning to show sustained gains.

Remarks by the most outlandish Republican candidates represent, in the best case scenario, the more moderate positions of Israel's prime ministers since the state's founding.
By Abed Abu Shehada
Let's imagine for a second that Donald Trump gets up on stage at a rally and demands that maternity wards across the U.S. begin segregating black and white women, justifying his demand through stereotypes: blacks love throwing loud post-birth parties, whereas white women are more simply more cultured prefer to rest after giving birth. His remarks would surely be widely condemned. In fact, I doubt that Trump himself is stupid or racist enough to say such things.
But in Israeli politics, racism espoused by members of the government are part of the view, and pro-democracy activists find ourselves writing opinion pieces on why remarks like those by Betzalel Smotrich ("It is natural for my wife to not want to lie next to somebody who just gave birth to a baby that might want to murder her baby in 20 years. That's the most natural, normal thing in the world") are unacceptable, explaining why they are so problematic to the Israeli public.
When looking at the election campaign in the United States, it is not a stretch to say that remarks by the most outlandish Republican candidates represent, in the best case scenario, the more moderate positions of Israel's prime ministers since the state's founding.
Two weeks ago I met with activists from the Black Lives Matter movement. I expressed my positions as an activist with the Balad party about solutions to the situation in Israel and our struggle for a society based on civic equality — a state that respects its citizens and sees them as equals. I told them that Balad is widely hated and viewed as a radical group in Israel. They looked at me in shock, grasping to understand what could be possibly be radical about what I had just said. In their eyes, equality was obvious. Anyone who goes against this worldview goes against the liberal worldview. It...Read More

Comments about 'Southern Utah hires former BYU head coach Gary Crowton to join football coaching staff'

I'm truly shocked. If you thought Dennis Erickson took a mighty fall, look at Gary, from head coach at BYU, running the offense at LA Tech, Chicago Bears, Maryland and LSU; he has dropped to a small rural FCS school. I can't believe that there wasn't an offensive coordinator spot open at a decent FBS school. I like the guy, he had a great run at LSU. I hope he gets another chance in the NFL or at a top 25 type school. Nothing against SUU, but really folks, Cedar City is not Chicago, Provo, or even Ruston.

I purchased this for a co-worker's Xmas Gift with her children, grand children & great-grand children's names. Wanted to be a surprise but I needed names of her family of course & spelling. On the base I put "(HER NAME) Family Tree." When I gave it to her she loved it so much (more than she expected) & plans on displaying it year round. Her children were all trying to out due my gift & funny she said she couldn't tell them the truth that my gift was her favorite of all time. Nice to know this will be in her family for years to come & she plans on passing it on one of the little ones after she is gone. Now to figure out how to out due myself this year! Extremely Happy!

Personalized Christmas Table Top Decoration
A large family of twenty-four people will fit on this Christmas tree table top display. Each head can be personalized with a first name. This would also be a cute gift for a sorority house. The girls can display it in the living room for all to see before heading home for the holiday break. The tree fits into a base which can be personalized as well. Great gift for co-workers, teachers or coaches.

The new home of
Take a look at our new Inspire and Explore section for the ultimate guide to holiday activities in the Lake District.
Cumbria is one of Britain's most loved and visited holiday locations, providing a unique combination of dramatic mountains and awesome lakes. It's a place that attracts visitors all year round and appeals to a wide variety of holidaymakers from couples who want to stay in a cosy Lakeland cottage to families who are looking for country homes with a view.
Cumbria has a great blend and variety of contrasting landscapes, including the renowned Lake District National Park which includes all the iconic places synonymous with the Lake District such as Windermere, Keswick and Ambleside as well as famous lakes such as Lake Windermere, Derwentwater and Coniston.
The mountains and fells here are spectacular and include iconic peaks such as Blencathra, Skiddaw, Grisdale Pike and the largest mountain in England Scarfell Pike.
The county extends well beyond The National Park offering great cottage holiday destinations like the tranquil Eden Valley in the east and the rugged uplands to the north around Hadrian's Wall or the Western Lakes and Coast on the west and the Cartmel Peninsula in the south.
Because of its quite compact geography it's easy to get around the Lake District and despite of its popularity it's still possible to escape fellow holidaymakers to admire the wide open spaces and spectacular views with the feeling that you're the only one there, apart from the sheep!
The great outdoors is of course one of the main reasons people visit; this is wonderful walking and cycling country as well as providing lots of opportunities to sample the watersports on the numerous lakes.
Families will find no shortage of top quality visitor attractions, those interested in National Trust properties and gardens will also not be disappointed. The region is packed with picturesque Lakeland villages to discover, specialist shops, cosy pubs and restaurants.
Those thinking about taking a cottage holiday in Cumbria are sure to find something suitable, whether it's in the 'hot spots' of the central and southern lakes or the more remote and rugged areas of the northern lakes, or maybe the less well known regions to the west and east of the county.
So whether you're looking for lots of activities and attractions or a quiet 'away from it all' break this region will suit.
Take a look at our selection of holiday cottages in Cumbria to find your perfect retreat.

A 12-year-old endangered orangutan has become the latest animal to die at Indonesia's problem-plagued largest zoo, officials said Thursday.
A 12-year-old endangered orangutan has become the latest animal to die at Indonesia's problem-plagued largest zoo, officials said Thursday.
The female orangutan, Nanik, was found dead Sept. 21 in a quarantine facility at the Surabaya Zoo in East Java's capital, said zoo spokesman Agus Supangkat. Her appetite dropped in the last two months, and she was moved two days earlier for intensive treatment of liver and intestinal disorders.
"There was a liver disorder and a bump in its intestine," said chief veterinarian Liang Kaspe. "But whether it was cancer or not, we have to wait for the results of the pathology test."
Nanik was brought to the zoo seven years ago by a local conservation agency after being confiscated from an illegal owner. Her death leaves nine orangutans – three males and six females – at the zoo, Kaspe said, adding that three of those orangutans were born at the facility.

Supangkat says on average about 20 animals die monthly at the zoo from various causes.
A giraffe died there last year with a beach ball-sized wad of plastic food wrappers in its belly, sparking outrage among conservationists. An African lion, a bear and several crocodiles have also died at the zoo.
The facility, built under Dutch colonial rule nearly a century ago, has been plagued by uncontrolled breeding, a lack of funding for general animal welfare and suspicions that staff members may be involved in illegal wildlife trafficking. It was taken over by the city administration in July, after years under a government-appointed temporary management team.

Fla. police request puts pharmacists in dilemma
Police use the sting operations as part of a broad effort to stop prescription pill trafficking
By Todd Ruger
The Herald Tribune
SARASOTA, Fla. - State and federal laws prohibit pharmacists from filling prescriptions they know to be fraudulent, yet local police conducting sting operations are instructing pharmacists to break those laws.
Instead of arresting a suspect for passing a bogus prescription, detectives are telling pharmacists to fill the prescription while officers wait outside, ready to arrest the person carrying the pills.
Police get better evidence for court, and the suspect faces more time in prison on a more serious drug trafficking charge.

(By David Brickell) Over recent months we've been considering the fact that trading momentum - buying winners and selling losers - works extremely well. In fact, the returns from the strategy are much higher than those from value or growth strategies, albeit at the cost of greater volatility. We've seen that momentum strategies can 'crash', as was witnessed in 2002/3 and 2009, and many hedge funds as a result have given up on it as a trading strategy.
However a groundbreaking research paper by David Blitz, Joop Huij and Martin Martens published in the Journal of Empirical Finance in January 2011 introduced a novel way of investing in momentum that appears to hold some hope for those investors that can't help but chase winning stocks. In it they promoted the idea that stripping the market's influence out of each stock's measured return can seriously improve the profits from a momentum strategy.
[Related -Bogle Says Indexing Destined To Win The Battle Of The Quants]
To illustrate these ideas, it may help if one thinks of the stock market as a sea of fish. Historically these fish have all been very independent minded and while they've always been affected by ocean currents, they have swum very independently. But since the turn of the millennium the fish have begun to behave more and more like a shoal, more and more like synchronised swimmers, ebbing and flowing in unison.
[Related -VMAX and VMIN Poised to Be Most Important VIX ETP Launch in Years]
Before 2000, the average stock's daily move was perhaps 20% correlated with the overall market, but this correlation has risen year after year to reach 50% by the beginning of the year (see image below). Given the growing influence of ETF and index funds and the dominance of macro-politics on market swings, this is perhaps unsurprising, but it's making it a much harder market for traditional stock pickers to outperform in.
Andrew Lapthorne, global head of quant research at Societe Generale, states that when "macro and market events and not company fundamentals drive stock prices then using momentum as a trading signal becomes fraught with danger".
The solution, as described by Blitz, Huji and Martens, is to focus on the momentum of the stock not explained by the impact of the overall stock market. By stripping out the market sensitivity from each stock's share price returns they can then be ranked by what they call the stock's "residual momentum".
Soc Gen, when testing this strategy, confirm that globally annualised returns are on average of the order of 11% per year since 1989 - outperforming standard momentum in every region and even in Japan. When married with a value strategy, the results are even more impressive - with risk adjusted returns 80% higher using this methodology. Blitz et al show that the annual volatility of momentum as a strategy can be reduced from 22.7% to only 12.5%.
So the returns to "residual" momentum strategies are comparable to or better than standard momentum but at only half the risk. Blitz et al also discover that they are more consistent over time, more consistent over the business cycle, and less concentrated in small caps. Not only that, but they find that the strategy even works over longer holding periods of more than a year. The question that remains is, why aren't more people following it?
The answer is that it's not exactly the easiest thing to calculate. While everyone can understand a stock's total return, or even it's relative strength, to figure out the return to the share price not explained by the market requires running a more advanced mathematical process known as a linear regression and the use of a 'three factor' model loaded with academic numbers.
Clearly, this is the kind of work that is preferentially done by hedge funds and quantitative trading desks in the city - who scalp profits from the big, old fashioned mutual funds that the majority of investors put their hard earned savings into. One of our goals at Stockopedia is to bring the benefits of this kind of quantitative analysis to the public domain. While we aren't yet publishing each stock's "residual momentum" on the website, we are becoming increasingly convinced that it may be the best way to rank momentum stocks and are considering incorporating it into our growing library of outperforming momentum strategies. In the meantime, have a look at the returns to a traditional price momentum screen in the strategy centre - gaining +25% year to date with some impressive household names in the list!
