Company Proud of Bigot-Baiting Billboard That'll Hit Houston Soon
Green Pharmaceuticals is savvy when it comes to creating buzz -- the California-based maker of a throat-spray for snoring treatment got a lot of attention when it paid a dude in Omaha more than $37,000 to temporarily tattoo an ad on his forehead. It also paid a Chicago man to run the New York marathon in pajamas boasting the name of its flagship product, SnoreStop.
Now Houston will be a beneficiary of its latest PR stunt: a company-described "controversial" billboard featuring a a U.S. soldier with his arm around his significant other, who happens to be a woman in a burqa. The tagline: "SnoreStop, keeping you together." The billboard debuted on Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles, and the company is eating up the supposed controversy.
"Dubbed the #betogether campaign, the billboard has generated some social media feedback from members of the military and the Muslim community in the first hours of the campaign," according to the company's press release. (The firm behind this campaign is apparently Los Angeles-based Pop Culture PR, which was behind the SugarDaddies.com campaign to rename Sugar Land. The firm's founder, Darren Shuster, told us he "can't reveal yet" where in Houston the SnoreStop billboard will be located.)
The release also quotes company spokesperson Melody Devemark as saying, "As a snoring solution company, we're in the business of keeping people together. So we found the most polarized couple and thought, 'If we can keep them together, we can keep anybody together.'"

The company claims the man and woman on the billboard are an actual couple whose relationship was helped by SnoreStop. Which is fucking preposterous.
The press release also wears the bilious, xenophobic comments the company has allegedly received as a badge of honor, including "I guess she's supposed to be one of them peace-loving ones?" and "I'm not racist, but I feel like they're trying to shove this 'political correctness' thing down our throats."
The product itself -- a supposedly "natural homeopathic" remedy for problem snoring whose 15 percent alcohol content is listed as an "inactive" ingredient -- is basically an afterthought.
Company co-owner Christian de Rivel states in the release, "...we are specifically and aggressively promoting diversity, equality and harmony." De Rivel states in a video on the company's site that non-traditional couples who have struggled to overcome intolerance shouldn't be further burdened by the oppression of snoring.
We call bullshit. The company is aggressively promoting promoting, and they're doing a bang-up job. Heck, we're writing about them. We're certainly in favor of provocative ideas, and we understand the art of using inflammatory or hyperbolic language to convey a grander idea; but this kind of exploitation for medicine-show tonic is simply risible. But hey, the stunt worked. Congrats, Green Pharmaceuticals and Pop Culture PR. Mission accomplished.

Smog Blankets Chinese Cities
Large parts of China continue to be enveloped in a sea of smog and national weather forecasters are warning that the pollution could linger until mid-week. The bad air stretches from cities in the north to the far south and has contributed to flight delays, forced schools to move activities indoors and led to a rise in respiratory cases at local hospitals.

Although pollution levels were slightly lower on Monday in China's capital, Beijing, they were still lingering at levels environmentalists say are hazardous and protection, such as facemasks, is recommended.

In some of the worst hit areas - such as Beijing, Hebei, Tianjin, Henan and Shandong - visibility was less than one kilometer and in some cases less than 200 meters.

The lack of visibility has led to the closure of highways, cancellation of flights and postponement of wide range of sport activities.

On Saturday, an air quality station at the U.S. Embassy recorded particulate matter or PM 2.5 levels - nearly 900 micrograms per cubic meter. The World Health Organization recommended maximum daily level of PM 2.5 is 20 micrograms per square meter.

Fine particles in the air, which are about 1/30th the diameter of a human hair, come from many different sources, such as coal-burning power plants, construction and automobile exhaust.

Many people spent the weekend inside and on Monday as the pollution eased some, but showed no sign of letting up, some Beijing residents were reporting that it was difficult to find facemasks to buy.

Yoko, a 32-year-old public relations accountant, says that she went to buy a facemask this morning, but found that they were all sold out. However, she adds that even if you can find one, they are hard to wear outside because they feel so suffocating.

Yoko says her son is in the hospital and she believes that he has gotten a cough because of the bad air.

She says she just came from a nearby children's hospital which was overcrowded with parents seeking help for their children. She says there were hundreds of kids there and doctors were scrambling to just keep up.

Fan, 27, who works for an international watch company says the pollution was having a big impact on his activities in the past few days that he has spent much more time than he'd like inside.

Fan says that he has been living in Beijing for four years and that he has never seen the pollution as bad as it is now. He says you always notice the dust when you fly into Beijing, but this is the first time that the PM 2.5 levels have become so serious. Like many people, he feels that government should continue its efforts to address the problem.

To try and rein in the pollution, officials have ordered dozens of construction sites to halt operations and businesses to reduce their emissions.

Pan Xiaochuan, a professor of public health at Beijing University, says that although increasing emissions of pollutants from sources such as automobile exhaust and industrial soot is part of the reason for the smog - the weather has made the situation worse.

Pan says that with relatively low air pressure, little wind and high humidity, it is difficult for pollutants to move on and they have become trapped in the lower atmosphere.

Women wearing face masks run to cross a street in Beijing, May 6, 2013. The United States Embassy monitor on air quality in China classified the quality of air in Beijing as "hazardous."

A man rows a boat on a river during a hazy morning in Shaoxing, Zhejiang province, June 16, 2013.

A man wearing a mask is seen on a street in Beijing, May 2, 2013. Street-level anger over air pollution that blanketed many northern cities this winter spilled over into online appeals for Beijing to clean water supplies.

A statue of China's late Chairman Mao Zedong is seen in front of buildings during a hazy day in Shenyang, Liaoning province, May 7, 2013.

Beijing schools kept children indoors, January 14, 2013, and hospitals saw a spike in respiratory cases following a weekend of excessive pollution in China's smoggy capital.

Summer Wines
Assembling a cellar that lends itself to summer drinking can be a surprisingly complicated affair. Here are 20 wines for every occasion
IN THE VINEYARD, summer is marked by the flowering of the vine. After the first cluster of leaves has emerged, the tiny embryo bunches will break into flower and, providing the weather stays dry and the last of the spring frosts subside, they will evolve into a shock of minute, green berries. In the Northern hemisphere, as we pass the midsummer celebrations and the morning birdsong reaches its full chorus, the clusters will evolve into fruit—discernible to the naked eye as a tiny bunch of grapes.
Summer rain, warm winds and sun that stretches into the evening will help the grape develop its fleshy fruit. By the time Europe is dancing to the rhythms of August's myriad festivals, the grape is beginning to ripen. As the skin gradually changes color and the sugar content increases, the soft malic acid will subside to give way to more zingy, riper tartaric acid, while the grapes' tannins form their distinctive bitter character. As the days shorten and August gives way to autumn, harvest is only weeks away.
In the cellar, summer is marked by a blitzkrieg of depletions fueled by a raft of parties, celebrations, open-air concerts, smart sporting events and simple al-fresco soirees. There is an art to summer drinking, one that requires juggling the varied weather conditions that we experience over the summer months, and one, I have to confess, I haven't fully mastered. It involves balance, flexibility, patience and restraining the excesses warm weather can encourage. As the philosopher and wine writer Roger Scruton argues, sharing a glass of wine al fresco with family and friends over the course of a summer evening reaches to the heart of human social civilization.
Readers' Forum
But for the wine lover, assembling a cellar that lends itself to summer drinking can be a surprisingly complicated affair. For a start, our drinking patterns change throughout June, July and August. For example, in June, when the weather can be wet, cloudy and overcast, those leaner wines low in alcohol and high in acidity such as German Rieslings, Alsatian Pinot Gris or zippy Sauvignon Blancs from the Loire can fall flat as the clouds draw over. On a sunny day with a clear eggshell-blue sky, they will taste elegant, light and sophisticated. But when the rain comes they will clam shut, leaving a glass that is dull and lifeless.
Then there is the paradox of the barbecue. The usual light red wines that our palates tend to favor in warmer weather such as refreshing Beaujolais, Burgundy's ethereal Pinot Noirs or Chinon from the Loire aren't the best wines to stand up to the robust flavors of barbecued meat. Dishes that have been prepared from the grill or on a barbecue are far better matched with heavier, jammy, fruit-driven flavors derived from wines such as Argentinean Malbec, South Africa's Pinotage and Australia's Shiraz. In other words, strong, powerful wines that won't be overwhelmed by the onslaught of flame-grilled meat. Grape varieties such as Shiraz, Zinfandel, Malbec and Grenache all work well with barbecued meat as they have strong tannins and plenty of ripe, juicy fruit.
This year I have sipped, slurped and spat my way through dozens of samples to come up with my summer list—20 wines for every occasion. I started with the reds and found that time and again, I tend to return to Pinot Noir, particularly those examples grown in Burgundy. The versatile flavor of the variety, from a vegetal, farmyard character to a heavily perfumed nose and an ethereal, silky palate, light in texture, lends itself to the warmer months. For the heavier option, I have also included a red Bordeaux that can withstand most meat dishes. The year 2009 is one of the greatest Beaujolais vintages on record, and some of them are approachable surprisingly young. I have included an example, but as a general rule of thumb any Beaujolais with '09 on the label shouldn't disappoint.
A versatile wine to have in your armory throughout summer is rosé, and I make no apologies from sourcing most of mine from the Provençal villages between Avignon and Cannes, where, in my opinion, the wines are at their freshest, bursting with citrusy acidity and traces of summer flavors such as raspberry, peach and melon. They match very well with strong, garlicky dishes. I have also found an example in Tavel, perhaps France's most famous appellation for rosé and one ideally suited to matching with food.
For the whites, I had one overarching goal; to find wines that displayed freshness, zippy acidity, and clean, pure fruit. In some cases, these aren't wines that scream from the glass with their immediate fruit flavors. They are wines sourced from unfashionable, often unlikely regions, wines that are to be enjoyed with company and in the presence of food.
For the most part, not always successfully, I might add, I have also attempted to source wines with moderate alcohol levels. One area that so far hasn't experienced soaring levels of alcohol is sparkling wine. There is perhaps no wine that can lift morale and the mood of a room quite like a glass of sparkling wine. My preference will probably always favor the distinctive bite of champagne, achieved partly through the makeup of its soil, porous chalk topped with a shallow covering of rubble comprising sand, lignite, marl, loam and clay. But in recent years, I have come to appreciate the charms of English sparkling wine, which in part shares the same soils as champagne and the attraction of a glass of prosecco. Its light, clean flavors and abundance of fruit such as lemon and green apples, and wild flowers make it the perfect early-evening summer aperitif. Happy drinking.

Hi again!
This collection (?) of tracks is quite the interesting combo. I do like the harder synths you've implemented, although multiple times throughout the track I felt that the main saw synth felt really peaked, like you have a compressor on it and its breaking the threshold. I don't know, happens every so often when it becomes the only sound, and then I can really hear it pushing. Other than that, great job (as usual)!
Hmm..I don't hear. I'm quite certain the knee on my compressor is pretty low, that's weird. Maybe it's just the high ends peaking on what ever you're listening to my tracks.

The trees, some 4,500 distinct apple varieties, are being established at their permanent home, Almaty Farm in Molalla, Oregon. By the end of April 2015, TOC had grafted approximately 3,500 of the Botner apples varieties; about 2,700 are planted in nursery rows in the Baby Tree Nursery, and another 800 newly-grafted trees are in pots under shade cloth and will be planted next spring. Some of these babies have been lost to anthracnose or other diseases while awaiting transplantation. The remaining varieties will be grafted in the spring of 2016. In addition to the Botner apples, we have added other heirlooms from generous collectors across the country.

The Florida International Golden Panthers have scheduled future home-and-home football series vs. the Indiana Hoosiers and the UMass Minutemen, the school announced today.
FIU will travel to face Indiana at Memorial Stadium in Bloomington on Sept. 12, 2015. The Golden Panthers will then host the Hoosiers at FIU Stadium in Miami on Sept. 3, 2016.
Florida International will also travel to face UMass at McGuirk Stadium in Amherst on Oct. 3, 2015. FIU will then host UMass on Sept. 15, 2018.
The Golden Panthers have never faced the Indiana Hoosiers or the UMass Minutemen on the football field.
"Both of these series will be good challenges," FIU head coach Ron Turner said. "I'm very familiar with Indiana from my time at Illinois. It will be exciting for our guys to play a team from a conference with the prestige of the Big Ten. The UMass series will be good exposure for our program in the Northeast. Mark Whipple is a great coach and has had a lot of success on the collegiate and professional levels."
FIU now has three non-conference games scheduled for both the 2015 and 2016 seasons. The Golden Panthers are also scheduled to host UCF in 2015, while in 2016 they are set to host Maryland and visit UCF.
Football Schedules
FIU and UMass is a matchup made in heaven. Now each team has at least a 50-50 chance of not going 0-12. Also Ron Turner was fired from Illinois in 2004.So it is meaningless when he says :""I'm very familiar with Indiana from my time at Illinois." Indiana is on it's third coach since then. Even the youngest Indiana player he faced graduated 6 years ago.
Cowards running away from USF …
Am I tha only one scr…
Am I the only one scratching my head on why IU would schedule this a a home and home series…IU doesnt recruit South Florida very much, it's a long drive down to Miami and I'm sure it will be expensive and all I can think of maybe some of the boosters lobbied for a game down near South Beach :)
UMass playing a mid-major team that isn't UConn? What is going on here?
IU has alot of boosters that have colt connections, colts have a few FIU players.

Austrian construction company Strabag announced on Tuesday a sharp drop in profit in 2012, insisting however that this was well within expectations and predicting growth for the coming year.
Profit dropped to 60.6 million euros ($79.2 million) last year, less than a third of the 2011 result of 195 million euros, Strabag said in a statement.
Underlying profit as measured by earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) meanwhile fell by 38 percent to 207.2 million euros.
Strabag blamed these results on "one-offs as well as construction site losses", noting this would thus have no impact on the coming year.
"Therefore, we reiterate our goal to achieve double-digit growth in earnings in 2013," said CEO Hans Peter Haselsteiner.
Strabag added the drop in profit had been foreseen and even the low EBIT figures "significantly beat own expectations and the expectations of the market."
The one-offs included compensation payments for a failed acquisition and the loss of joint ventures, it said.
For 2013, the company predicted "another slight worsening of the business environment in the European construction sector."
But without the one-offs that impacted last year's result, EBIT was due to grow "to at least 260 million euros... This corresponds to an increase of at least 25 percent," it said.

In fact, I don't know. Funny, but the " You have 10 minutes to live what would you do?", is terribly seen.
WTF does this have to do with soda? This is unbelievably contrived and vacuous. Garbage.
always liked the french stuff...but this is not one of them
Funny, but, which is the concept. Could you have more executions?
i believe that this video is in line with all pepsi communication, and it does have an idea and a concept: completly distroy the brand. so far i give them points for the effort, they're doing a great job. maybe pepsi should look for coke infiltrators among their brand managers...i head commercial spionage is quite a deal these days.
"U think it's perfect?! Press delete and start again!"
I really want to like Pepsi. They look like they really try hard to make something interesting. The problem is that the more I see their executions, the more disappointed I get. I agree with Mandark.
they never really address the Pepsi cans. this could easily be an ad for the video equipment his buddies used.
ahahah love it! well done!

Get to know Nolan Patrick, early favorite to go first in 2017 NHL Draft
The NHL's Central Scouting staff put out a full list of 2017 NHL Draft "futures" on Saturday, supporting the notion that it's never too early to hype up the next wave of prospects.
At the moment, the top pick speculation revolves around Nolan Patrick of the Brandon Wheat Kings, including in NHL.com's breakdown of the biggest names among those futures.
In vague terms, his size and willingness to go to high-danger areas distinguishes Patrick. Scoring 102 points in 72 games in the WHL with the Wheat Kings doesn't hurt his cause, either.
It's only natural to seek comparables, of course, and there are plenty streaming out already.
Craig Button compares Nolan to Jonathan Toews in this introduction for TSN:
Nolan's style of play is similar to that of fellow Manitoban Jonathan Toews. He's skilled, smart and capable of playing and making a difference in all situations of the game. Like Toews, he does it without much flash, but brings significant determination and reliability every time he steps on the ice.
Meanwhile, his coach compared his style to that of Brayden Schenn, as Buzzing the Net noted in February.
There's hockey in his blood, too, as his father Steve Patrick was an NHL forward.
Maybe that explains the notable lack of fawning from his dad in this Sportsnet article.
"Nolan was a funny little player at eight. I certainly didn't look at him and think he's gonna be a special player," Steve Patrick said in May. "But he always saw the ice well and even when he was little he could pass the puck. He was a smaller kid and he sometimes played up a year, so I thought he had to be little sneakier to hold on to the puck.
"Plus, he had an older sister who could throw him in a snowbank, so he had to figure a way to keep the puck from her."
Now that is a scouting report.
Speaking of scouting reports, NHL.com and Sportsnet both discuss other players who will jockey for top draft position with Patrick.
Of course, plenty can change in the season, so Patrick must dodge hurdles as if they were siblings readying to "throw him in a snowbank."

There is a report about Islanders eyeing a new arena in Nassau, too
The New York Islanders' new owners claim that Brooklyn's Barclays Center is "our home," yet there are all kinds of rumors going around about where they may settle.
Things really heated up with talks of moving next to the New York Mets with a new arena in Queens, but apparently that's not all.
New York Newsday reports that the Islanders have met "several times" with the New York Racing Association to build a new arena in Belmont. This would mean that the Islanders would (wait for it) bring the team back to the Nassau area.
It was emphasized that such talks were in early stages and that the ownership group is "weighing multiple options, including remaining in Brooklyn."
When it came to the rumors about Queens, more than a few people believed that it may have come down to leveraging Barclays for a better situation in Brooklyn. The Isles' ownership group hasn't discussed these rumors, so it's difficult to gauge how seriously the team would consider moving again.
In the grand scheme of things, it feels far too early to get too excited or bent out of shape about these murmurs. Even if something significant happens – and there have been plenty of gripes about Barclays – it sounds like it would take some time for plans to formulate.
Coyotes' defensive makeover continues with Luke Schenn signing
While Brayden Schenn hopes to hammer out a favorable deal with the Philadelphia Flyers, his brother Luke Schenn inked a two-year contract with the Arizona Coyotes on Saturday.
Arizona didn't confirm these details, but the cap hit looks to be $1.25 million, according to reporters including Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman.
"We are very pleased to sign Luke to a two-year contract," New Coyotes GM John Chayka said. "He's a good, young defenseman and we feel we can optimize his performance here. He will be a solid addition to our blue line."
Chayka is making some significant changes to the Coyotes' blueline, even if Oliver Ekman-Larsson is still the star of that group.
The Coyotes traded for and then signed Alex Goligoski. They possibly grabbed a falling star in the draft, too, as they selected Jacob Chychrun. Adding Schenn might not be the last move, either.
Schenn isn't necessarily an analytics darling, but a two-year, $2.5 million deal is reasonable even with some flaws. This contract seems even more reasonable when you consider the five-year, $18 million deal that just expired.
Report: Maple Leafs, Holland are about $1M apart
Peter Holland's submitted salary request for arbitration is reportedly more than double what the Toronto Maple Leafs proposed.
With that in mind, Monday's pending hearing serves as a challenging deadline.
Holland's asking for $2.1 million in 2016-17 while Toronto is offering $900K, according to Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman.
This comes a day after the Maple Leafs placed Holland on waivers, advancing the argument that he'd be worthy of a two-way deal. He cleared waivers today.
Granted, the Globe & Mail's James Mirtle wonders if Holland would clear waivers under normal circumstances:
Holland is a solid player, generating 27 points in 65 games with Toronto last season. He's a nice enough piece, but with the Maple Leafs in rebuild mode, they're not exactly anxious to pay supporting cast members more than necessary.
With such a context in mind, it should be intriguing to see how much either side will budge.
At the moment, the Maple Leafs seem to hold the advantage.

ETF Stories Come With Plot Twists
Who doesn't love a good story?
That's what thematic ETFs offer investors by building a portfolio of stocks around a very specific investment idea. The latest member of this group is the Alps Workplace Equality Portfolio Fund (EQLT
). The ETF, which tracks U.S. companies that provide equal benefits for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender employees, is a progressive new spin on the socially conscious investment theme.
When you dig into how EQLT works, a different story line emerges. Like many of its thematic peers, EQLT tracks an index that weights stocks equally. In the S&P 500 Index, by contrast, stocks with the largest market capitalizations get the largest weightings. By going the equal route, products like EQLT give smaller stocks a louder voice in performance. That can increase returns in a broad market rally, when small-caps tend to outperform, but also brings added risk and can create the illusion that a theme is working when it's actually the small-cap bent that's providing the edge.
Right now, an equal-weighting strategy is paying off for many theme ETFs. Small-cap stocks have outperformed large-caps by a wide margin over the past five years. The Russell 2000 Index, the benchmark for small-cap stocks, had a 225 percent return, compared with the S&P 500's 175 percent.
But small-caps also tend to fall farther in downturns. The Russell 2000 lost 21 percent in 2011 as concerns grew that Europe's debt crisis would spread and the credit rating of the U.S. was downgraded. The S&P 500 fell 13 percent over the same period.
Equal Voice
Equal-weighting thematic portfolios is actually a pretty brilliant idea from an issuer's standpoint, because beating the S&P 500 will make it easier to attract assets. That's not to say it's done to pull one over on investors. Depending on the narrowness of the theme, equal weighting can be one way to diversify and avoid having a few big companies utterly dominate an ETF.
In EQLT's case, "we acknowledge that there is a small-cap bias, but that decision was made to give all of the companies an equal voice," says the ETF's portfolio manager, John Roberts of Denver Investments. "After all, it is an 'equality' ETF." Roberts says the S&P Equal Weight Index is a better benchmark for the ETF than the S&P 500. The fund, which launched February 26, has just over $5 million in assets.
To look at the performance of the index that EQLT tracks, you'd think companies offering equal workplace benefits are way better performers than other, stingier companies. Over the past year, the index is up 32 percent, compared with 21 percent for the S&P 500. When you look at the portfolio and analyze where those returns are coming from, you find that EQLT has 10 percent in small- and mid-cap stocks, and also owns some smaller large-cap stocks. And it's that chunk of the portfolio that's contributing the lion's share of the excess return -- and risk.
To see how that can play out in a portfolio, look at Electronic Arts Inc. (EA ). It's a large-cap company, but on the smaller side, so the S&P 500 Index gives it a .05 percent weight. In the equal-weighted universe of EQLT, it gets a .74 percent weighting. Doesn't seem like much of a difference, but that means EA's one-year return of 58 percent has 15 times as much impact in EQLT as in the S&P 500. It also means that EA's risk has 15 times as much impact in EQLT.
Electronic Arts' stock is three times as volatile as the S&P 500, and there are other examples like it in EQLT's portfolio. The weightings explain why the beta of the ETF's index is slightly above that of the S&P 500. Beta measures a stock's volatility; a beta of 1 means a stock basically moves in line with the broad market. A stock with a beta above 1 will most likely outperform the S&P 500 in good times and most likely underperform the index in bad times.
GURU Followers
Perhaps the highest profile example of a thematic ETF achieving huge success from an equal-weighting strategy is the Global X Guru Index ETF (GURU
). It tracks changes in stocks held by large hedge funds, zeroing in on what stocks it determines are managers' high-conviction picks. Since GURU was launched in June 2012, it has returned 74.9 percent, compared with the S&P 500's 49.7 percent. That has earned it tons of publicity and over $500 million in assets.
GURU offers value to investors by poring over hundreds of hedge fund filings every quarter. But when you break down where its excess return comes from, a big chunk is due to its 20 percent weighting in small- and mid-caps. A lesser chunk comes from smaller large-cap companies with either little or no weight in the S&P 500. This is a big reason GURU has beaten the market. It's also why during the January selloff it lost 4.9 percent while the S&P fell 3.4 percent. Two GURU spawn -- the Global X Guru Small Cap Index ETF (GURX ) and Global X Guru International Index ETF (GURI ) -- use equal weighting as well. Both those ETFs and EQLT have the same expense ratio as GURU, which is .75 percent of assets on an annual basis.
The Robo-Stox Global Robotics & Automation Index ETF (ROBO ) also goes the equal-weighted route. Since its launch last October, it has returned 6.4 percent to the S&P 500's 5.9 percent. It has attracted over $100 million in assets -- a huge feat for a niche ETF. ROBO has over 60 percent of its portfolio in small- and mid-cap companies. Its expense ratio of .95 percent is significantly above the average for equity ETFs.
An exception to the equal-weighting trend among theme funds is the Nashville Area ETF (NASH ). It owns stocks headquartered in ... yep. NASH uses a multi-factor weighting using fundamentals and technical metrics for its basket of stocks; weights are spread around with the top stock weighted at 7.2 percent and the bottom stock at .82 percent. Since its launch in August 2013, NASH has returned 7.5 percent; the S&P 10.7 percent. Despite a lot of publicity, NASH has brought in only $6 million in assets. It also differs from its equal-weighted peers in not falling much farther than the broad market in January's sell-off.
For investors interested in the themes behind these ETFs, there's no reason to swear them off. Just be aware that an ETF's theme may not be the primary driver of its performance.

Do autopilots in non-glass cockpits feed off of the gyro instruments to determine aircraft attitude, heading and rate of turn? Or do they have their own internal gyros? Since I can set the heading using the heading bug, I suppose it needs to be able to read the heading-bug offset at the very least, so there's some connection.
Yes, they do. Also for glass cockpit, the autopilot uses the sensors that are used for the displays (ADC, AHRS, etc). Here are some extracts from the FLM of the SA 365N Dolphin, describing the autopilot and coupler (I selected only parts relevant to the question):
Typically the Turn Coordinator and DG is used. Sometimes the Attitude indicator is used as well. Of course, if NAV tracking is used the OBS or GPS has in input as well.

1. How do I remove the header/logo scaling? It keeps increasing the size, while I just want it to remain the original size, thank you?
2. I also made CSS changes and they are not going through. I made a child theme, using the method I have used for many themes.
Child theme contains - style.css, rtl.css, header.php, functions.php, footer.php, images folder. In header.php of the child theme, I changed the get template uri to get stylesheet uri.
What am I doing wrong?

I'm quite busty but the asymmetrical folds across the chest kept me covered and looking classy. It's a simple dress but the material and the asymmetrical seam throughout the skirt makes it special and incredibly flattering.

Hi there,
I would like to create a number of filterable galleries, all on the same site, each with the same filter options (videos, photos, infographics, links). This is so that on an individual project page, I can show the media that is relevant only to that project.
Since each filter takes its name from the category, so far, I can't see a way of achieving this as pulling in the 'video' category on any gallery would show all of the videos as opposed to just the ones I want to show within that gallery.
So my question is, is there a way of embedding several different filterable galleries, each with the same filter options?
Many thanks

Tagged: roundup, recommedations, tablet, convertible, laptop, gaming laptop, smartphone
Wondering what is hot in the mobile world right now? Well, you can see what The Tech Report thinks are the best mobile computing devices in their latest round up right here. They have four recommended tablets, ranging from the low cost Google Nexus 7 which is still a hit after years on the market to the much more expensive and brand new iPad Air 2. Of the convertibles they recommend, two happen to be Surface machines from Microsoft and they split up their laptop recommendations between those for general usage and two designed specifically for gaming. Rounding out the list are four phones and a look at what is coming down the pipeline in the near future; what you won't find are any Chromebooks.
"In this edition of our mobile staff picks, we chose our favorites from the current cream of the crop in tablets, convertibles, laptops, and phones."

SATA SSD Roundup

Tagged: Samsung, 850 EVO, 850 PRO, M600, micron, Sandisk Extreme Pro, ssd, roundup, sata
[H]ard|OCP has just posted a roundup of four affordable SATA SSDs to show which would be the best one to pick up as the majority of users are not able to afford an NVME PCIe SSD. The drives are all within $50 above or below $200, with the 850 PRO having the highest cost per gigabyte and the EVO the least. They test content creation and moving large files as well as synthetic benchmarks to come out with a ranking of the four drives which you can refer to if you will be shopping for storage in the near future. In comparison they use the G.SKILL Phoenix Blade to show off what the new technology can do, for those that can afford it.
"Despite the performance benefits, PCIe SSDs remain an expensive niche market. That means that most of us are not going to be loading up a high end system with PCIe SSDs. Most of us mere mortals will be using SATA SSDs. We tested some of the best SATA drives with enthusiast-friendly price tags."

For those who prefer to leave their circumaural headsets at home and travel with earbuds, sooner or later they sustain enough damage that you need to shop for a new pair. The least expensive model that is easily available is a decent choice but for those with specific requirements there is a round up over at The Inquirer of what they feel the best earbuds currently on the market are. From those who like to listen to audio while swimming to those who want their earbuds to look fancy or even glow in time with the music, this round up has them all.
"RATHER ANNOYINGLY, we find ourselves in the market for some new earphones more often than we'd probably care to admit, whether it's because we left our last pair on the bus, stood on them, put them in the wash by mistake, or because we've managed to dodge all of the above but we've had them for years, and the audio quality has declined over time, something that shouldn't really happen, but it does."

The summer SSD saturation; who reigns supreme?
Subject: Storage | September 5, 2014 - 03:06 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: roundup, ssd
The SSD Review has put a quick overview of what they feel are the best SSDs released this summer in several classes, though picking the Intel P3700 PCIe SSD which is not slated for release until the end of September might be considered cheating a bit. It is no surprise that the Samsung 850 Pro is the Enthusiast recommendation or the Crucial MX100 being recommended for those with a tight budget. They also list M.2, mSATA and even USB recommendations so head on over to see the full round up.
"Summer has come and gone, and over the past few months, there have been quite a few SSDs released into the market, and the question of, "Which SSD should I buy?" seems to still come up a lot around forums. Usually, there are some predetermined recommended favorite in each."

EVGA GTX 750 Ti ACX FTW
The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 Ti has been getting a lot of attention around the hardware circuits recently, but for good reason. It remains interesting from a technology stand point as it is the first, and still the only, Maxwell based GPU available for desktop users. It's a completely new architecture which is built with power efficiency (and Tegra) in mind. With it, the GTX 750 Ti was able to push a lot of performance into a very small power envelope while still maintaining some very high clock speeds.
NVIDIA's flagship mainstream part is also still the leader when it comes to performance per dollar in this segment (for at least as long as it takes for AMD's Radeon R7 265 to become widely available). There has been a few cases that we have noticed where the long standing shortages and price hikes from coin mining have dwindled, which is great news for gamers but may also be bad news for NVIDIA's GPUs in some areas. Though, even if the R7 265 becomes available, the GTX 750 Ti remains the best card you can buy that doesn't require a power connection. This puts it in a unique position for power limited upgrades.
After our initial review of the reference card, and then an interesting look at how the card can be used to upgrade an older or under powered PC, it is time to take a quick look at a set of three different retail cards that have made their way into the PC Perspective offices.
On the chopping block today we'll look at the EVGA GeForce GTX 750 Ti ACX FTW, the Galaxy GTX 750 Ti GC and the PNY GTX 750 Ti XLR8 OC. All of them are non-reference, all of them are overclocked, but you'll likely be surprised how they stack up.

Sounds like it is time for a roundup; headphone style
Subject: General Tech | February 14, 2014 - 03:28 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: audio, roundup, headphones
The Inquirer has put together a list of the 14 best headphones released so far this year, including both on ear and over the ear styles. You won't find a single Beats model in this roundup but you will hear about a wide range of best in class headphones from a wide variety of uses from the cheapest pair that still sounds good to the best ones for travelling. Just don't buy the ones with frogs on them.
"Long gone are the days when people felt too embarrassed to wear a hefty pair of cans on their heads in the fear that they'd be accused to trying to look like an Ibiza DJ wannabe. The hype about on-ear headphones has helped convince the masses that, "Actually, these clumsy looking music accessories are pretty cool," or, "Why shouldn't I wear them with pride on the Tube after forking out hundreds for them?""

Intel Celeron 847 Benchmarked Against Atom and AMD APU-Based Low-Power Systems
Subject: Motherboards | March 8, 2013 - 06:30 AM | Tim Verry
Tagged: roundup, motherboards, mini-itx, celeron 847, APU, amd e-450
While high end motherboards and processors tend to get the most attention from enthusiasts, sometimes less is better (*waits for Josh to stop laughing on the podcast). More often than not seen integrated in small form factor OEM boxes, there are a few motherboards out there that come as a bare board and integrated processor to be the basis of low power desktops, network devices, and home theater PCs. Both Intel and AMD have hats in the low power game, and Hartware.de has pitched four such low power boards against each other. The MSI C847MS-E33-847 and Biostar NM70I pack Intel Celeron 847 CPUs, The Zotac D2550-ITX WIFI hosts an Intel Atom D2550 processor plus a NVIDIA GT 610 IGP, and the ASUS E45MI-M Pro is powered by an AMD E-450 APU.
Hartware.de puts several low power boards into the thunderdome to see which one(s) reign supreme.
As it turns out, the results are nearly in line with what one might expect. The Atom D2550-powered system was the slowest, the APU and ASUS motherboard was the fastest, and the Celeron was somewhere in the middle. The AMD E-450 APU used the most power, and the system was one of the most expensive, however. Interestingly, the Atom system was not all that much more power efficient than the Celeron despite the lower performance and weaker hardware. The Celeron 847 chip had decent CPU performance, and mid-range power and some of the best thermals. All of the configurations were able to playback media, but the AMD system gave the most fluid results.
If you are in the market for low power system parts, the review is worth checking out.
Here are some additional Motherboard reviews from around the web:
- GIGABYTE Z77N-WiFi Mini-ITX @ TweakTown
- ASRock Z77 Pro4-M LGA 1155 @ HardOCP
- Gigabyte GA-F2A85X-UP4 FM2 @ PC Perspective

I'm pleasantly surprised at all the Mini-ITX motherboards being made lately.
Cooler autumn temperatures and a new cooler might get you a better overclock

FrostyTech has updated their "Top 5" list of 20 or so of the best heatsinks on the market for Intel and AMD processors not just in time for the school year but also as the average temperature during the day begins to decline. They've also changed their definition of a heatsink to include self contained watercoolers such as the Corsair Hydro 100 which now takes the top spot for cooling Intel heatsinks though it does not get as high a rating for AMD. On the quiet side there is also another newcomer, the NoFan CR-100A and CR-95C which take the top two spots for low noise cooler for both chip makers. There are quite a few other new coolers to check out in their latest heatsink roundup.
"Are you looking for the best heatsink for your PC? Perhaps you need a low profile cooler under 45mm tall... in both cases Frostytech's Top 5 Heatsink charts list the Best Intel & AMD heatsinks we've tested in one handy place. Frostytech has compiled a catalog of over 500 CPU cooler reviews and picked to cream of the crop on both Intel/AMD platforms, performance and low profile heatsinks. Frostytech's Top 5 Heatsink chart ranks each cooler by low temperature and low noise output."

Holiday laptop recommendations
Subject: Mobile | December 12, 2011 - 12:38 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: roundup, guide
You may have noticed an increase in systems guides and recommendations over the past month, not just the Hardware Leaderboard here on PC Perspective but on many other sites as well. What we have not done is a list of recommendations for laptops but thankfully TechSpot has taken matters into their own hands. They've broken down the market into budget, gaming, ultraportable, business and desktop replacements. In each section they list several models which are quite capable within their own segment, at a range of prices. Of course the desktop replacements and gaming laptops are the most expensive and powerful but do not discount the budget laptops as many people will only ever need the power available in a $500 laptop.
"With the holiday shopping season in full swing it's time we give our Laptop Buying Guide one last pass before the year is over to make sure it's packing enough punch. Netbooks have lost their lure to simply become smaller, entry-level notebooks, while other categories are only seeing minor spec bumps. But if you are looking into the ultraportable market, a new breed of devices has emerged. Intel is pushing the Ultrabooks as thin and light systems with plenty of power, for now we're seeing a first generation of devices, with plenty more to come."

2011 has been a busy year for enclosures with an enormous amount of models hitting the stores, ranging from the bare bones $50 case to impressively engineered high end cases costing over $200. Some new players have expanded their lines and the older players have been putting those years of design experience to good work. Think Computers has winnowed the long list of cases they've reviewed this year down to the top three models of 2011. As you have probably guessed, the Thermaltake Level 10 GT is indeed on the list but you will have to follow the link to find out the other two cases.
"It is December now and that means the end of the year is upon us. This past year we have reviewed quite a few products, but I think we have reviewed cases the most. Cases are such an important part of your system, it is the first thing someone looks at when you are at a LAN party. We have decided to make a list of the best cases of 2011. Keep in mind these are drawn from cases that we have reviewed so if you do not see a case in this list that is why. Read on to see what our favorite cases from 2011 were."

What's in Your Backyard? Mosquitoes!
You may have noticed that we have separated our bear cub, Alba, from her mother, Chaska. This was done because both mom and cub have shown through their behaviors that it is time for Alba to "leave the nest." In the wild at around 1 year of age a cub will leave its mother and venture out into the forest ready to start a new life, perhaps with offspring of its owns someday. Andean bears, like most bears, naturally are solitary animals. They rarely come in contact with other bears unless they are seeking a mate. Our bears are just exhibiting expected and normal behaviors and we must honor their instincts.
We at the Salisbury Zoo are both sad and happy as we prepare for Alba's departure. Our keepers have worked very hard to provide both Mom and Cub with a stimulating and supportive environment. Their success is marked by the fact that our bears are acting like bears. It has been a great year sharing this baby bear's birth and growth with you, our visitors. We want to thank you for being involved in her life, for the support the community has given to the Salisbury Zoo, and for understanding these next chapters in Alba's life.
Alba will be sent to the San Diego Zoo where eventually she will be paired with another Andean bear, Turbo. With only 20,000 Andean bears estimated to be left in the wild these bears are classified as vulnerable by the ICUN (International Union for Conservation of Nature). Our collaboration with other institutions is important to conservation and gives hope for the future of the species.
NOTICE NEW DATE! ORIGINAL EVENT POSTPONED DUE TO WEATHER! Salisbury Zoo and Eastern Shore Reading Council have partnered with a variety of community organizations to offer a FREE fun night at the Zoo. Children will learn about animals through a variety of literacy activities.
*This is a great way to Avoid the Summer Reading Setback and get information on Summer Reading programs from local libraries.

The Metabo Wet/Dry Vac (ASR 35) is designed for both the shop and the job site: You can set it to manual and use it as a shop vac, or set it to auto so that it's activated by a tool plugged into its onboard electrical outlet.
For this article my crew and I tested 18 lithium-ion impact-driver kits. Some companies sell the same tool in two kits – each with different batteries – and in such cases we tested both versions. We used all the drivers for several months, trading them around so that everybody had experience with...
Throughout the year, the Tools of the Trade staff sees and tests hundreds of tools. We're especially busy now, because it's the season when many companies introduce new tools and unveil them at the Specialty Tools & Fasteners Distributors Association show held every November. On the following pages...
A new compact cordless 18V Impact Wrench (SSW18) has been added to the PowerMaster series of 18-volt lithium-ion tools.
The SB18 LTX 18-volt cordless hammer drill/driver offers superior ergonomicsand power in a more compact design, says the maker.
Last year one of my remodeling projects involved stripping the paint off a large area of wood siding.
A conventional-sized cordless drill is a bit much for tasks like installing cabinet doors and electrical devices; a better option would be a cordless screwdriver such as Metabo's palm-sized PowerGrip II.

The ghostly image at the top of this post is a new moon. Its lighted half is facing entirely away from Earth. When the moon is new, its night face is facing us on Earth … and we can't see the moon at this time.
New moon comes on on July 4, 2016 at 1101 UTC (6:01 a.m. in the central U.S.; 2:01 p.m. AST in Saudi Arabia). Translate to your timezone. This particular new moon is of interest to Muslims because it signals the near-end of Ramadan, a month of fasting, prayer and family gatherings. Ramadan ends with the first sighting of the extremely young waxing crescent moon, an event that will take place on different days in different parts of the world, on Tuesday, July 5 or Wednesday, July 6. A young moon sighting on Monday, July 4 in Saudi Arabia, for example, is only possible if optical aid is used (a telescope), along with special filters to block the brightness of the nearby sun. On July 4 – at sunset in Saudi Arabia – the moon will be less than 12 hours old. To our knowledge, the most recent reliable record for youngest moon spotted with the unaided eye was achieved by Stephen James O'Meara – an experienced observer, known for his very excellent eyesight – in May 1990. He saw the young crescent with the unaided eye 15 hours and 32 minutes after new moon.
A typical young moon sighting, for most people with ordinary eyesight, comes when the moon is around 24 hours from new, or more.
But, again, with modern techniques – telescopes, filters, photography – the moon can be seen by extremely experienced observers even at the instant of new moon. That's the case with the image at the top of this post, acquired by experienced amateur astronomer Thierry Legault in 2013. Read more about that image here.
In other words, a waning crescent seen within seconds of new moon is within the realm of possibility if special techniques and equipment are used.
On the day of new moon itself, you can't see the moon with the eye alone for several reasons. First, at new moon, the moon rises when the sun rises. It sets when the sun sets. It crosses the sky with the sun during the day. A new moon is too close to the sun's glare to be visible with the eye. Plus its lighted hemisphere is facing entirely away from us. It's only as the moon moves in orbit, as its lighted hemisphere begins to come into view from Earth, that we can see it in our sky.
We can't see the new moon from Earth, except during the stirring moments of a solar eclipse. Then the moon passes in front of the sun, and the night side of the moon can be seen in silhouette against the disk of the sun. Meanwhile, if you could travel in a spaceship to the opposite side of the moon, you'd see it shining brightly in daylight.
Once each month, the moon comes all the way around in its orbit so that it is more or less between us and the sun. If the moon always passed directly between the sun and Earth at new moon, a solar eclipse would take place every month.
But that doesn't happen every month. Instead, in most months, the moon passes above or below the sun as seen from our earthly vantage point.
Then a day or two later, the moon reappears, in the west after sunset. Then it's a slim waxing crescent visible only briefly after sunset – what some call a young moon.
As the moon orbits Earth, it changes phase in an orderly way. Follow these links to understand the various phases of the moon.
Four keys to understanding moon phases
Where's the moon? Waxing crescent
Where's the moon? First quarter
Where's the moon? Waxing gibbous
What's special about a full moon?
Where's the moon? Waning gibbous
Where's the moon? Last quarter

text: I have a single network running SBS 2003. One single XP SP3 machine cannot... will not... access network shares by the share name. You put \\ShareName into the run box, and it kicks back with "The network path was not found". If I use an IP address it finds the share just fine. I can ping by single label name and FQDN and get back the correct IP address. Just for kicks I manually added the shares IP addresses to the machines host file... but it didn't make a difference. Any ideas as to why this machine cannot find anything on the network by name?
