With traditional gilts giving the lowest rate of return for decades, insurers have been forced to start looking for alternative sources of investment income. Intelligent Insurer investigates.
There was a time when insurance companies thought that all they had to do to guarantee stable investment income was to buy long-term government bonds (gilts) and then sit on them.
But with interest rates at historical lows in the US, UK and Europe, gilt returns have also hit rock bottom, forcing investment teams within insurance companies to start looking about for something else. Many 'something elses' in fact.
First, some history.

Cynthia L. Bethea
Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that is produced in discreet cell populations in the midbrain. The serotonin-producing cells send projections that release serotonin to all areas of the forebrain and the spinal cord. Correct release of serotonin is very important for integrative cognition, memory, mood and affective regulation, pituitary hormone release, satiety, sleep and pain perception. The ovarian hormones, estrogen and progesterone, act in serotonin neurons to increase neurotransmission and cell viability by a variety of mechanisms. Loss of ovarian hormones can lead to various psychiatric disorders.
Cynthia Bethea and her staff are working with primate, rodent and cell culture models to understand the mechanisms by which estrogen and progesterone act in serotonin neurons. Serotonin deficits occur in patients who are clinically depressed. Twice as many women as men suffer from depression, and many depressive episodes are associated with the withdrawal of estrogen and progesterone at the end of each menstrual cycle, following parturition and after menopause. Researchers in this laboratory are using laser capture of serotonin neurons, microarray analysis, quantitative PCR, in situ hybridization, immunocytochemistry, ligand binding and western blotting to characterize the estrogen and progesterone regulation of gene and protein expression in serotonin neurons. They have found that serotonin neurons use a recently discovered form of the estrogen receptor called ERß. Estrogen acts through ERß on tryptophan hydroxylase, the enzyme that governs serotonin synthesis. The expression of this enzyme is increased at the mRNA and protein levels by ovarian hormones. In addition, they have found that the 5HT1A auto receptor, which acts like a brake on serotonin neurons, is decreased at the mRNA and protein levels by ovarian hormones. Thus, ovarian hormones both increase serotonin production and increase the rate at which the neurons release serotonin.
Recent studies have shown that estrogen and progesterone inhibit the expression of genes that lead to premature cell death in laser captured serotonin neurons. Protein analysis has indicated that estrogen and progesterone prevent cell death by a caspase-independent mechanism. Studies are underway to characterize DNA fragmentation by TUNEL assay in serotonin neurons. Additional studies have shown that estrogen and progesterone promote neuroplasticity by increasing the expression of genes that promote dendritic spine proliferation in laser captured serotonin neurons. Dendritic spines provide the majority of excitatory synapses in the CNS. Studies are underway to characterize the proteins involved. Together the data indicate that estrogen and progesterone increase serotonin production, increase excitatory synapses on serotonin neurons and prevent serotonin cell death.
Understanding the mechanisms by which ovarian hormones act in serotonin neurons has opened new avenues for the development of selective estrogen receptor modulators that activate ERß. Like estrogen, these drugs will act beneficially in the brain, heart and bones, but they will not have estrogen's negative peripheral effects in the breast and uterus.
Other projects in the Bethea laboratory include investigation of the neural role in Functional Hypothalamic Amenorhea, or stress-induced infertility; the effects of androgens on midbrain amine circuits; efficacy of hormone therapy in perimenopause in normal weight and obese women and macaques.
Cynthia Bethea is a scientist in the Division of Reproductive &Developmental Sciences and an adjunct associate professor of physiology and pharmacology in the OHSU School of Medicine. After being awarded a B.S. from Winthrop University in 1972 and an M.S. in zoology at Clemson University in 1974, she earned her Ph.D. in physiology from Emory University in 1978. She conducted postdoctoral research in neuroendocrinology at the Reproductive Endocrinology Center of the University of California at San Francisco until she came to the center in 1981.

CBS News: State Department may have been involved in series of cover-ups
**Written by Doug Powers
And this is in addition to Benghazi.
Is there room on the plate for more scandals?
Uncovered documents show the U.S. State Department may have covered up allegations of illegal behavior ranging from sexual assaults to an underground drug ring.
CBS News reports that is has unearthed documents from the Diplomatic Security Service (DSS), an internal watchdog agency, that implicate the State Department in a series of misconducts worldwide.
The memo, reported by CBS News' John Miller, cited eight specific examples, including allegations that a State Department security official in Beirut "engaged in sexual assaults" with foreign nationals hired as embassy guards and the charge and that members of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's security detail "engaged prostitutes while on official trips in foreign countries" — a problem the report says was "endemic."
Former State Department internal investigator Aurelia Fedenisn told CBS News, "We also uncovered several allegations of criminal wrongdoing in cases, some of which never became cases."
Often times, other DSS agents were simply told to back off of investigations of high-ranking State Department members.

For a moment pretend that each Obama administration scandal is a piece of chocolate. This is how difficult it's getting to keep up with all of them without missing one:
In a related story, Hillary Clinton's approval rating is dropping quickly. That's one thing she's probably not reacting to by saying "what difference does it make?"

Subtitled "A Lesson in Obedience," it teaches viewers the importance of following God's Word even when we don't want to. The story follows the plight of the Israelites and, specifically, the Battle of Jericho. The presentation is strikingly original however, and derives great humor from spoofing Monty Python and the Holy Grail. In addition, the Biblical tale is given the usual VeggieTales treatment with comical songs, outrageous humor, and unexpected anachronisms.

It was released in 1998. Subtitled "A Lesson in Thankfulness", it conveys the messge that material possessions will never truly make us happy. We must instead be thankful for what we have. The story introduces Madame Blueberry who has many possessions but is perpetually "blue". When a massive department store opens nearby, she goes on a shopping binge thinking that owning more things will bring her happiness. Ultimately she must learn the hard way that joy cannot be found in material goods. The episode is a loose parody of the novel Madame Bovary by Gustave Flaubert. Emma Bovary, the protagonist of that novel, also lives beyond her means to assuage a feeling of emptiness and dissatisfaction with her life.

Subtitled "A Lesson in the Power of Words", it illustrates how destructive negative words can be, and conversely, how positive words can do good. Junior Asparagus and Laura Carrot learn just how easily rumors get started when they accidently launch a whopper about Larry-Boy's butler, Alfred! Before they know it, their little story is spreading all over Bumblyburg like a weed! Can Larry-Boy stop the rumor before Alfred gets hurt? Can anyone stop the rumor before Larry-Boy gets hurt?!?

It was released in 2000. Subtitled "A Lesson about Selfishness", it teaches viewers that they must think of others before themselves. The message is conveyed through a story based on the Biblical account of David and Bathsheba from the Books of amuel. Although the VeggieTales adaptation remains relatively true to the source, Bathsheba is represented by a rubber duck, thus replacing the sin of adultery with the less difficult crime of theft. But the essence of the story remains intact: the King covets something belonging to his neighbor and takes it for his own; the selfish act is condemned by a prophet who points out the pain it has caused, and the King, feeling remorse, repents. The subsequently released Duke and the Great Pie War is a prequel to this episode.

The Girl Who Became Queen (2000) 2003 | Animation | AVI DivX5 492Kbps 640x480 | 40:00 | 420 MB Esther... The Girl Who Became Queen is the 14th episode in the VeggieTales animated series. Subtitled "A Lesson in Courage", it conveys the message that you do not need to be afraid to do what is right. The story is taken from the Book of Esther in the Old Testament, in which Esther becomes Queen and must tell King Xerxes that his prime minister Haman is plotting to commit genocide against the Jews. The violent undertones are, of course, removed for this VeggieTales production; murder is replaced by banishment to the "Island of Perpetual Tickling", and the intended victims are limited to Esther and her family without reference to their race or creed. The presentation of the story was inspired by The Godfather and Casablanca and has stylistic elements of a Film noir. The dramatic lighting, deep shadows, dark plot elements, and narrative voiceovers all contribute to the effect. The palace windows are even hung with Venetian blinds, an iconic element of the genre.

It was released on March 24, 2001. It features two short stories about sharing and selflessness, one a parody of Shakespeare's Hamlet, the other a parody of a Gilbert and Sullivan comic opera. Determined to present something "classy" for a change, Archibald Asparagus has taken over VeggieTales! Assisted by those rascally French Peas, Archibald aims for new heights in veggie programming by attempting to produce "the world's first all-vegetable staging of Shakespeare's Hamlet," the first-ever "Classy Songs with Larry," and for the grand finale, the world premiere of what he believes to be Gilbert and Sullivan's lost musical: Lyle the Kindly Viking! Of course, working with the French Peas as assistants is a recipe for disaster and in the chaos --and hilarity -- that ensues, Bob, Larry, and Junior all learn a great lesson about sharing. Archibald, on the other hand, mostly just learns to never again work with the French Peas.

It was released in 2002. Like the other holiday episodes, it has no "A Lesson in..." subtitle. The message, however, is that you can't teach people to love through pomp and flash, but rather that love must come from the inside; Jesus was sent on Christmas to help enable such a change, and He is the true "Star of Christmas". The show is set in London in the 1880s and has a definite Charles ****ens quality to it. Indeed, the sequel, An Easter Carol, features the same characters and the same setting and is a direct parody of the ****ens' classic A Christmas Carol. The story of The Star of Christmas centers on two would-be operatic composers who are based on W. S. Gilbert and Arthur Sullivan. VeggieTales has spoofed Gilbert and Sullivan's work in Lyle the Kindly Viking and (specifically The Mikado) in Sumo of the Opera. In this episode however they spoof the people, Gilbert and Sullivan, themselves.

It is a variety show in which the Veggies sing songs from various sing-along albums in a format that conforms to Larry's idea of what the future of entertainment will be like. In Larry's estimation, entertainment will be fully automated. Using devices such as the "Wheel of Veggies" and the "Balls of Disorder", random performers will be paired with random musical numbers.

It lacks a subtitle, but the lesson it conveys is to remind viewers of the Christian significance of Easter. The episode is a parody of A Christmas Carol by Charles ****ens. The story line is similar, with Mr. Nezzer playing the role of Ebenezer, but is transplanted to a different holiday. It is also a sequel to The Star of Christmas and picks up where that episode left off with Cavis and Millward going to work in Mr. Nezzer's Easter Egg factory.

Subtitled "A Lesson in Self Worth", the episode focuses on teaching viewers that they are special in God's eyes, that they don't need to have extraordinary talents or resort to gimmicks to be worthy individuals. The episode contains two main features. The first is a parody of Robert Louis Stevenson's novel The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. The second is the story of a small whimsical creature called a Snoodle who is suffering through a crisis of self-esteem. The narration is done in the style of Dr. Suess, deftly capturing his iconic cadence, rhyme schemes, nonsense phraseology, and fanciful sense of place.

great work mate
this year will be know that the 3D animators of newgrounds will hide no more!
finally we will be known.
newgrounds isnt just for flash clay or still animation.
good job!
btw how many polys was this?
and did the render really take 2 and a half days constantly on the computer to render?
that video is awesome great animation +good beat=10/10 5/5
keep up good work
Wow, it was nothing as I expected. Great animation, the 3D art was really well done, people should do more of this stuff. The music was also good, and your concept was ever so original!
However your animation is perhaps the first one that left me with a lot of questions I don't think I can answer myself. Your animation, on the bits where the paper and the toilet was duplicating, it was a bit choppy, I don't have a problem with it, it's just that did you animate it like that on purpose or you couldn't make it smoother? The next thing, the title for your music vid. is it called that purely because there's duplication or is there some meaning behind it all, like schoolbuilding or something?
Just a thought, otherwise superb job!
Holy frig
This is amazing it reminded of those cool things I listened too-watched in music class back in elementary school!

Griezmann double sends France into final
By Mitch Phillips
MARSEILLE, France (Reuters) - Two-goal Antoine Griezmann fired France into the Euro 2016 final on Thursday when a smash and grab 2-0 victory over a territorially dominant Germany ended 58 years of tournament suffering at the hands of their neighbours.
Griezmann drove in a penalty at the end of the first half after a needless handball by German captain Bastian Schweinsteiger and poked home in the 72nd minute following a blunder by goalkeeper Manuel Neuer to set up a final against Portugal in Paris on Sunday.
"We are as happy as kids, the whole country is behind us," Griezmann said.
"This is the result of a group and of a lot of hard work from the staff. Now we're in the final and we want to lift that trophy. Playing a final is great but it's winning it that counts."
World champions Germany dominated the match in terms of possession but their lack of a deadly finisher cost them and razor-sharp Griezmann, whose double took his tournament-leading tally to six, was the difference.
It was the first time France had beaten Germany in a competitive match since the 1958 World Cup, including defeats in the semi-finals of the 1982 and 1986 World Cups and the quarter-finals two years ago.
The hosts will go into the final as strong favourites to emulate the teams of 1984 and 1998, who won the European and world titles on home soil.
Germany will wonder how they failed to score but, after Jerome Boateng's handball gave Italy a lifeline in the quarter-finals, their captain's similarly inexplicable high hand swung the game France's way when they most needed it. Continued...

Over time I've noticed a trend. When I start working with clients I create a very safe space in which they can be honest, grow and move forward. This leads them to share very personal and vulnerable things with me. I am honored and privileged to have their trust. What surprises me is how surprised they are when they get to know me a bit better. Inevitably every client will say at least once, "I didn't know that about you. I would never have known that if you didn't tell me. It makes me feel so much better to know you've struggled with challenges too!"
As I've been exploring my own unique voice and way of doing things in my business with my mentors and mastermind buddies I get the same reactions. "Does your audience know this about you? Seeing more of your vulnerable side would certainly attract me more to you." And so, with the loving challenges of my support team, I want to share with you 5 things you probably didn't know about me and how I've navigated them in a way that lets me thrive.
This post isn't about taking a narcissist TMI plunge all too popular in blogs and social media these days. My intention is for you to:
- Get to know me a bit better
- See a connection in our shared struggles (even if yours don't look the same as mine)
- Be encouraged that no matter what you may have experienced or be experiencing now that you can succeed, run your business, and live your life by your own design.
So… with all the courage I mustered to write this post, here we go!
Panic and Anxiety
I spent years suffering from a panic and anxiety disorder. I lived with a constant state of anxiousness and added social anxiety just to make things interesting. For a time, the panic attacks would get bad enough to warrant a trip to the hospital (but I would never go). While the tendency toward panic and anxiety never fully goes away I have shifted that dynamic to keep it from interfering in any significant way in my life. I didn't do it instantly and I didn't do it alone, but I know it can be done. I also know what it feels like to live with everything from a low-grade to high intensity amount of anxiety as you try to go about your professional duties and personal life. These feelings can often be exacerbated by the entrepreneurial journey, but the need not stop you.
While we're on the topic of un-fun emotions. Let's talk…
My relationship with fear has had its arcs. I have been afraid of everything from heights to the up-and-down horse on the carousel (yes for years I would only ride the ones that were bolted down). These fears were in direct conflict with my insatiable desire for loving life experiences. My coping strategies have included everything from outright avoidance to white-knuckling it. When asked, "How could you do those things (travel, adventure, whatever…), aren't you scared?" I always answer. Yes. Of course I've been scared, but my desire to have an experience outweighs my fear and so I keep on showing up. As long as it is something I really want to do, I will try it (to date I have zero desire to jump out of a plane, but should that change, yes, I would try it.). I also give myself plenty of emotional recovery time if needed. As I teach to others, I seek to let fear walk beside me as my teacher instead of having it keep me stuck. [Read more…]

This Is NOT How You High Dive
Photo Credit: YouTube
The sick side of my brain finds this kind of funny. The normal side is horrified for the woman at the center of this video. I am shocked she didn't get seriously hurt. It looks like she would.
This video is a perfect example of how NOT to high dive.

Prosecutors have pleaded with judges to drop under-age sex charges against French soccer internationals Franck Ribery and Karim Benzema.
Even prosecutor Jean-Julien Xavier-Rolai has said it is impossible to prove the charges they paid an under-18 year-old prostitute for her sexual services.
He told a judge in Paris' Correctional Court it was "impossible" to prove Bayern Munich striker Ribery was aware the girl was under age.
Neither alleged victim Zahia Dehar, a prostitute-turned-fashion model, nor Ribery and fellow international Benzema, a superstar for Real Madrid, were in court.
The prosecution also told the judges charges against Benzema should also be discharged.
Real Madrid striker Benzema who were not attending the four-day trial, were being tried on charges of paying Dehar when she was aged 16 and 17.
Ribery has admitted paying her for sex but said he did not know how old she was.
Benzema has denied having any sexual relations with Dehar.
Paying for sex is not illegal in France but underage prostitution is.
Last December, the National Assembly passed a bill to fine prostitutes clients, but it still has to pass the Senate and be signed by president Francois Hollande before it becomes law.
The judges' decision is expected on Thursday, although it is highly likely that the case will be adjourned for further deliberation.

Opening and Closing
Have you ever felt nervous when you are just about to stand up and deliver a pitch for a very important contract, be it to win a new account or to retain one? And have you ever felt a sense of relief when the last slide appears and you are at the end of the pitch? An all too familiar way of opening and closing for too many presenters.
If you have experienced this adrenalin-fueled rollercoaster ride of emotions, you may have already strategized how to manage them for the next time you need to present. The most common tactic I hear of is to spend more time rehearsing and the rationale behind it is to have committed every word of their narrative to memory. Whilst I fully agree and advocate 'rehearse, rehearse, rehearse – and then rehearse again', this still isn't addressing the need to deal with the next adrenalin rush.
When adrenalin hits the brain, we all suffer from the 'fight or flight' syndrome. Our pulse rates increase, our breathing can become rapid and shallow, our body temperature rises, and, some parts of our brain go into pause mode. As one lady in the US told me recently, "Adrenalin makes me stupid, I forget everything that I had rehearsed!" Therefore, we need to finds ways to manage the high anxiety during the opening of a pitch. How you begin is so important as it sets the stage for what you are about to deliver. All too often I see presenters tell me their name and title, as it is on the first slide "…and I'd like to thank you for giving me the time to present to you today." And then launch straight into the presentation whilst adrenalin is wreaking havoc with their thoughts!
Before you rehearse for your next major presentation do remember to establish rapport with your audience. Consider what they are probably thinking, and in particular, how they may be feeling. Recognise the internal dialogues they are holding in their heads, and develop the narrative to empathise with those feelings and thoughts. Then link forward with the over-arching benefit to the outcome of your pitch for them. Finally, sell yourself before you sell your company and your offering. By this time, your nerves should have started to settle and you can focus on the message you have rehearsed so well.
As for the closing, think of how many times you have heard the presenter say, "To summarise…" or "In conclusion…:? Or even worse, "I hope you enjoyed the presentation – any questions?" A much more effective way to end is to pause as the last slide appears, place the remote clicker on the table and then link back to the over-arching benefit, "A few moments ago, I said…". Then, repeat your value proposition that underpins the over-arching benefit and ask for their agreement to award the contract to you. And empathise…
Linking forward and linking back starts with the very beginning and finishes the end. As a technique, it will make your pitch far more memorable and relevant.

Beating Japan at Its Own Game
By KEITH BRADSHER
Published: July 13, 1990
The story is familiar: An American company develops and dominates a consumer electronics market, only to lose it to lower-cost competitors from East Asia. It happened with color television sets, calculators, digital watches and computer games, among many other products.
Will Motorola Inc. prove an exception in the wireless-communications business, which consists of devices like portable telephones, beepers and sophisticated two-way radios? Some scholars and industry experts think so. And they say its approach, which includes competing aggressively with Japanese companies in their home market, is becoming an example for United States companies in the world marketplace.
''They are not likely to be blindsided like many of their brethren in the American consumer electronics industry,'' said David B. Yoffie, a professor at the Harvard Business School who studies the company. ''They keep very close tabs on everything the Japanese do.''
Considered the Best
Motorola has emerged as the world's biggest supplier of wireless communications devices. Its products account for more than a third of the world's $4.3 billion cellular-telephone equipment industry. It recently began selling the first cellular telephone weighing less than a pound and the first wristwatch beeper.
The company's technology in wireless communications, widely considered the best in the world, is licensed by domestic and foreign competitors alike. The Japanese Government last month selected Motorola technology over that of six Japanese companies and a European company as a nationwide standard for its next generation of cellular telephones.
But now the company is fighting to protect its markets from some of the same large Japanese companies and smaller businesses in Taiwan, Hong Kong and Singapore that have come to dominate world markets for consumer electronics products, from radios and television sets to facsimile machines and laptop computers. Among those now expanding in the business are the NEC Corporation and L. M. Ericsson of Sweden.
Motorola also faces other problems. Most of its recently announced products are intended for markets that may prove too small to generate an adequate return on investment, and they face a variety of technical, financial and regulatory hurdles. In addition, Motorola's semiconductor business - which accounts for a third of the company's revenues, compared with roughly half for wireless communications equipment - has been slow to enter the large market for so-called RISC (reduced instruction set computer) chips.
Like a Japanese Company
But analysts are optimistic, citing the company's heavy investment in research and development, including new ways to cut manufacturing costs, its technical advances, its scrupulous attention to quality control and its successes in the Japanese market. By contrast, American companies that have failed to hold their lead in other consumer-electronics markets often failed to invest enough in research and new equipment for manufacturing, failed to make innovations on their products, failed to focus on quality and did not succeed in Japan.
In some ways, Motorola does business like a Japanese company. It has spent heavily on research and development. Such outlays totaled $784 million last year, or 8.14 percent of the company's $9.6 billion in sales. By comparison, in the late 1980's American manufacturing companies spent an average of 4 to 5 percent of revenues for research and development.
Much of the research spending -Motorola will not say how much -goes to improve production rather than to develop new products. ''You can't use product leadership as a crutch,'' said George M. C. Fisher, the chairman and chief executive. ''You have to, in addition, have the best quality and the best cost structure.''
Improved manufacturing helped Motorola cut costs last year and raise profit margins while expanding its share of the worldwide market for cellular telephone handsets to 32 percent, from 27 percent in 1988, said Anthony G. Langham, an electronics analyst at County NatWest USA, a New York brokerage.
A Japanese Division
Motorola's research and development projects can last a decade. And like its Japanese rivals, Motorola has poured money into insuring that it remains a competitive supplier of components as well as finished products.
Motorola is also unusual in that it created a separate division for the Japanese market.
Motorola is virtually alone among American producers of consumer electronics in having consistently paid special attention to selling products in Japan, said Professor Yoffie. To do so, Motorola has accepted low profit margins on semiconductor and cellular telephone sales.
''What distinguishes Motorola from some of the others is a firm commitment to what businesses they're in,'' said Edward S. Davidson, the chairman of the electrical engineering and computer science department at the University of Michigan.
Leader in Quality Control
American corporations now seem to compete in trumpeting their commitment to quality control, but Motorola remains a leader. ''I've been doing some work with other quality-minded corporations in this country, and they all point to Motorola as an example,'' said Professor Yoffi.
