US, Japanese markets outperforming emerging markets: Jyotivardhan Jaipuria, BofA-ML
In an interview with ET Now, Jyotivardhan Jaipuria, HoR, BofA-ML, shares his views on the markets and the upcoming earnings season. Excerpts:
While most market participants are slightly rattled, some are nervous because of the intensity of the sell-off. I am sure you are not surprised because last time when we interacted, you saw this one was coming?
Yes, ultimately the sell-off comes or does not come depending on where the fundamentals are going and there was clear weakness in both the economy and the earnings. So my call for the last two years has been that earnings and the economic numbers will see downgrade. I continue to hold that call that analysts and economists are still too optimistic. Till this downgrade settles down, till we get numbers which come in line and start surprising analysts, the markets will remain edgy and range-bound.
So the point to really ponder upon is where does the dust settle down and how much more downside to go before we can even call it a near bottom?
There are two ways you can have downside. One is you can have a market doing nothing for the year. So in some sense because of the time correction, you get valuations which start coming cheaper. The other is when the markets fall and then start moving up a bit. Some of that depends on where the other markets are going and what are the international news flows that we are getting. But if we look at the results season, again it is going to be one where nobody is really going to get excited about the results. Results will be weak and we will have FY14 numbers which are looking extremely high. Some of the analysts still see a lot of downgrades. So at least that is going to be a negative for the market. If there is some abeyance which will help, maybe oil is coming down. So that is one which probably is helping. If we see a big pullback in oil, RBI may have some room to cut rates, which may help cap the market downside.
When I interacted with some of the investors on the sidelines of your annual conference, the mood was to buy and invest into Indian equities. But suddenly foreign institutional investors have turned net sellers. Do you think this is some kind of a structural adjustment or now foreign investors are in a mood to take some chips off the table?
Their buying and selling is not just determined by India because for them India is one of the markets they can invest in and I guess what is happening now is if you see emerging markets per se, they are not doing as well as the developed markets. The US is suddenly looking good and Japan has had a great run. Japan was a market which everybody had been underweight on for such a long time. These developed markets have suddenly started doing well. Most of the emerging markets are going through similar problems, with the politics becoming a concern in some shape or the other. Inflation is a concern in lot of places. So whether it is inflation or investment not picking up, growth is getting a concern in most of these places. So data is actually disappointing in a lot of emerging markets. If you see the fund flow also, that is the way the flows have been going. More and more money is going to developed markets rather than emerging markets. So that is probably one of the factors which is determining what they are doing. The second is of course India has not really been as great. There were lots of hopes that RBI would cut rates most significantly or they would at least sound like they are cutting rates more significantly, which has not really worked out because I guess from their point of view, the headline inflation is still not coming down fast enough. So people were hoping for some change, which somehow has not really been happening in India.
The Bloomberg consensus for FY14 earnings is about 17%. But in your strategy report, you are making a case that for FY14, the Sensex EPS growth will be about 10% to 11%. Now that is a bearish number. What is the thinking behind this number?
17% clearly seems to be very optimistic. We are going to see downgrades because if you see GDP, we are going to get GDP growth substantially more than 5-5.5%. Margins are at an 18-year low in India, but you cannot really see margins changing at the moment because if you see core inflation, it is quite low. There is pricing pressure in the economy. So analysts are being too optimistic in their outlook. Lots of people are just counting on a turn in the economy for the next six months, which seems to be a basis to believe there is going to be a major turn. This will get downgraded substantially. We probably end up hopefully closer to 10% rather than 5%, which we will get for FY13.
How does the upcoming earrings season fit into your game plan and could it be a game changer or a trigger for the market both on the upside or downside at all or it is in the price already?
The good thing is that most people are expecting it to be a very bad earnings season. So to that extent, expectations are not very high. If expectations are high in such a season, then the chances for the market sell-off becomes much higher. But the bad news is that earnings are going to be very weak. They are not going to surprise on the upside. We are looking at flattish earnings for the Sensex companies.
It is not going to be a big trigger for the upside. Maybe we have to think of the market in a range and hope that the downside is not really broken in a big way because at some point, we get some nibbling about the markets falling and valuations getting cheaper. People come and nibble and keep buying a bit.
RBI has got another policy coming up. Let us see how they look at things because they have growth which is much slower than what they expected it to be. At the same time, the headline inflation has not come down as much as they want, but the core inflation is down quite a bit. So if we get some rate cut from the RBI or signals that they are looking at cutting rates more significantly in future, that may help keep the downside protected.
There is a long list of stocks which have cracked below their historical averages and in fact, nearly 70% of the index, now minus IT and some consumer names, is trading at historical low.
Valuations, whether cheap or not, ultimately depend on where the earnings settle down. If you go back to four years ago, in September 2008, we thought FY10 earnings are going to hit the Sensex EPS of 1200. But three-four years later, we are still struggling to hit 1200 as even FY13 earnings are not going to be 1200. So to that extent sometimes when you do these valuations, you probably end up making a mistake. So markets are probably not as cheap as people think it is.
What lies ahead from an index point of view in FY14? When do we see a significant sign of a recovery actually kick in or do you think we will have to wait for the next fiscal for that to happen?
We will not have a meaningful recovery in FY14 because if we think of the problems over the last four years, it has been the investment cycle, corporate just not wanting to put money in new capacities. The government is carrying steps which will ease a lot of regulatory issues, but if a corporate who is sitting six months away from a general election and does not know the nature and shape of the new government, chances are it will wait and see the new government before making a big capital expenditure.
We will enter this phase very soon where people want to wait for the new government to come in and probably the faster the election is held, the better it may be for the economy. FY14 is going to be a year of wait and watch where recovery will be slow to happen, corporate capex still will not pick up. We will probably get some earnings also. We probably will get a 10% earnings growth, may be a 7%-8% earnings growth in the economy. So with a 7% earnings growth the markets just get into a narrow range and you get that bit of correction coming through in terms of valuations.
What is your favourite alphabet for FY14 V, U, or W?
Everybody is hoping it is an 'R' where we have 'recovery', 'rate cuts' and 'reforms' -- any of the three will work out.
Are there any pockets which you are monitoring wherein the valuations are now getting to near lucrative levels wherein at a certain point another 5% to 10% downside and you would definitely go out and buy that stock?
Yes, we are looking at lots of pockets and if we have to think beyond one year, somewhere margins in India are 18-year low, sales growth in India is the third lowest in the last 20 years. So to that extent we are probably steering close to a bottom of the earning cycle.
We will have a spell of strong earnings over the next three-four years and when we look at five years back, that was the time to start accumulating stocks. So that is one thing which we have been highlighting to investors that yes the next one year probably is going to be tough, but that is the time may be you should accumulate stocks. If we get a decent government in the next election, we could see a spell of recovery in earnings and we could see some of these stocks then recovering quite a bit.
It is not just the valuation which you have to look at, but whether you are looking at valuations at a time where earnings at a very low point for that company and where the company could deliver may be 25% earning growth compounded or 20% earning growth compounded. So there are stocks like that which we are monitoring, but those are exactly the stocks which probably over the next six months are going to struggle. It is the time-frame whether you want to buy or leave or you want to rather wait till things work out and buy the stock 15% higher. That is what one needs to decide.

Jermaine arrived at school angry and sullen. He'd had a fight with his mom over the type of shoes he was going to wear to school. He wanted to wear his sandals and she told him he had to wear his tennis shoes. When they arrived at school, he refused to greet his teacher and barely got out a muffled "bye" as his mom left the building. Arms folded across his chest and a scowl on his face, Jermaine stood with his head lowered to the floor. Susan and her mother entered the building and greeted him: "Hey Jermaine, I heard it's the day to go to the park. Sounds like fun!" Jermaine turned his back on them and remained silent.
Sylvia, Jermaine's teacher, came over to where Jermaine was standing with Susan and her mother. She stooped to his level, put her arm around him, and tilted his face upward to make eye contact. Already aware of the shoe situation, she told him that she knew he was angry and disappointed about having to wear the tennis shoes and then added: "You know, it's not Susan and her mother's fault that you didn't get to wear your sandals. You need to answer them. It's really the polite thing to do." Gradually, Jermaine looked up at Susan and her mother, softly saying "Yeah, it will be fun." He seemed to relax as he walked with Susan into the room.
Observe: Preschool children are often caught up in a swell of emotions that can color their view of the world and interfere with their reasoning. Sometimes, especially when they are angry, children this age want to get rid of the emotion but don't always know how. So instead, they have a tendency to "give" the feeling away — by hitting or in some way making others angry in turn. When adults have positive relationships with children, they can use that connection to help children sort out emotions and reasoning and resume productive activity.
In this situation, Sylvia helped promote politeness instead of rudeness. First, she established physical contact. At the same time, she reinforced their already close social and emotional connection by showing empathy — commenting on Jermaine's feelings without scolding him for having them. She then helped Jermaine sort out the source of his feelings and differentiate between what had happened at home and the people who had nothing to do with his disappointment and anger. Finally, she stated the expected behavior, almost as an invitation.
This observant teacher helped promote Jermaine's character development, using her relationship with him as the base from which to promote a desirable quality. At no time did she label his behavior bad or impolite. In this instance, Sylvia knew enough about Jermaine to feel confident about his reaction. Sometimes teachers need to be a little more direct in their request for the appropriate behavior.
Jermaine and Susan walked into the classroom where Sylvia and her assistant, Tom, had set up learning stations. They had just put out several new puzzles when four-year-old Carol came running in. She spied the puzzle that Jermaine was about to take from the holder, grabbed it, and said, "That's mine, I saw it first." Jermaine put it down and reached for another. Carol pulled that one away from him too, and said, "No, I want this one," dropping the puzzle she had originally selected. Jermaine looked teary-eyed, and Susan, turning to the assistant teacher, said, "That's not fair."
Tom went over to Carol and said, "I know you're excited about the new puzzles, but Jermaine was here first and I think he should be able to select the puzzle he wants to play with." Handing his original choice to Jermaine, he said, "This is the one you picked. Is it still the one you want?" Jermaine nodded and Tom gave Carol the other puzzle. Carol protested and pushed the puzzle away, so Tom said to her, "I've noticed that you often want the same toy someone else wants. I'm not sure what that means but you can't keep grabbing toys from the other children. What do you think would happen if everyone grabbed what they wanted?" Susan quickly answered, "No one would be able to play and everybody would be fighting." Tom asked Carol, "What do you think about that?" Carol picked up the puzzle and started taking the pieces out of the foam board.
Later, during free play, Jermaine and Susan were playing with the blocks. They were using several colorful blocks to decorate the top of their building. Darryl came to their area and watched for a while. Then he went to the teacher and said that he wanted one of the colored blocks. Sylvia could see that both Jermaine and Susan were busy at play and using all the blocks Darryl wanted, so she told him, "It looks like Jermaine and Susan are using those blocks to act out an idea. You can have a turn when they're through."
Observe: Sharing is one of the most emotionally charged issues in early childhood settings. Children under four have a particularly hard time, Because of their level of development and maturation, it's difficult for younger children to take others' points of view and acknowledge their rights to toys. It's also difficult for young children to work through the value of things they possess and the relationship of those things to their self-esteem.
When children aren't confident that they will get what is coming to them, like a certain toy, they are likely to grab. These children sometimes feel deprived and act on their own to get or take what they want. Children sometimes define their sense of worth according to what they have, not who they are. In their eyes, the more toys, the more value they personally have. There are also children who want everything others have because they feel that their own possessions have less value. This is an issue of self-esteem. They see others as more esteemed than themselves and focus their attention on the person who has the toy — not on the toy itself — and so take the toy away from that person. The desire to possess alot of things is a little different from that of not being able to share. Children arguing over toys presents another opportunity for teachers to build on character development.
Notice that when Carol grabbed the puzzle, Tom didn't dwell on the topic of fairness or sharing. He simply stated the rule or expectation and stayed nearby, just in case the children needed him to help follow through. Because Tom understands Carol's behavior and her low self-esteem, he addresses the issue by wondering out loud about her behavior — trying to get her in tune with her feelings. Most important, he avoids assaulting her self-esteem, accepts what she is able to do, and sets a limit. Promoting self-esteem in this way helps children build character.
In the block corner, Sylvia respected Susan and Jermaine's play. She could have asked them to give Darryl one of the blocks that he wanted, but in her judgment, that would have disrupted what they were doing. The children, close enough to hear her response to Darryl, got the message that she supported their right to the blocks. That let them know that she valued what they were creating, not just the possession of the toy.
The Parent-Teacher Connection
The first step in fostering character education for both teachers and parents is establishing a strong positive relationship and open communication with children. Keep the following suggestions in mind as you work with children,and as you help parents understand how they can make character education a part of their life at home.
- Accept children's feelings. Young children feel strongly, and sometimes it's difficult, especially for parents, to watch children act out in anger or show deep sadness. It is possible to accept these feelings and at the same time limit the strong behavior that sometimes accompanies them.
- Avoid labeling behavior as good or bad. Even if we only label behavior as good, children know in their heart of hearts that means it can also be bad. So be specific in descriptions, and focus instead on redirection. If you must, describe behavior as impolite or rude or hurtful as long as you point out the specific behavior you're referring to.
- State expected behavior and show confidence that children will be able to meet the expectations. Often adults tell children what not to do or set a limit without stating ways children can live up to the desired behavior. Be clear. Make sure what you are asking and the way you are asking are developmentally on target so children understand. This will help them have the confidence to handle situations successfully.
- Help children show what they know and what they can do. When we give children information that is too abstract, state expectations without showing children how to meet them, or expect children to do things that they are not developmentally ready for, we hamper their development of the attributes we are hoping to cultivate. Instead, provide materials that are both meaningful to their level of development and ones they can master
This article is an exerpt from the November/December 1998 issue of Early Childhood Today. The writer is Ethel Tittnich, a child development specialist and the University of Pittsburgh and a consultant to early childhood and social service agencies including the Heartwood Institute, which is an organization devoted to character education.

HOW do we help you change your story?
Top-level treatment shouldn't be reserved for the few. We use the same sports therapy techniques and methods that are used to help professional athletes.
Referred to as the gold standard of soft tissue treatment, A.R.T. is widely used by elite teams/athletes and focuses on breaking up scar tissue as well as increasing muscle movement and range of motion.
The Graston Technique is a form of instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization therapy used at top manual therapy and sports chiropractic clinics. Specialized tools are used to break up fascia and adhesions.
Actively restoring proper functional movement is key to reducing pain and preventing it from coming back. We custom build you a rehabilitative performance exercise plan, then take you, step by step, through them so you know exactly what to do and why.
Chiropractic care consists of manual manipulation of the joints, mainly the spine, in order to realign the spinal column which has a direct influence on nerves, muscles, and organs.
If you've never been taped up, you're missing out. Kinesio tape is great for injury rehabilitation as it increases blood flow and supports (or isolates muscles) without affecting range of motion and flexibility!

Johannesburg - The SABC has ordered an investigation into its transport arrangements, after it emerged that R500 000 was paid to a private company which did not have a contract with the public broadcaster. Eyewitness News reports that the shuttle service company transported SABC executives.An invoice showed that SABC chairperson Ben Ngubane's own use of the transfer company amounted to nearly R9 000 per day. Ngubane said the company needed to be prosecuted for "daylight robbery" and that the money paid to them needs to be recovered. He said a task team which was appointed to look into procurement, mismanagement of funds and other issues at the public broadcaster will investigate. In 2011, it emerged that the SABC had deviated from tender procedures and leased luxury vehicles to the tune of R20m.
Mr. Ngubane...YOU are the guilty party so don't try to act like you had no idea.
Yes, pay your TV licence, it's the right thing to do........
How many squatters pay TV Licence? Yet you see DSTV Satelite Dishes on the shack!
Ja, I wonder!
Investigation will cost, wait for it, R500,000.00.
disciplinary hearing costs: R100,000.00
Outcome: an update to the SABC handbook that nobody will follow. Priceless.
Send the man to jail!
please none of them go to jail,he will eventually get get fat remuneration packeage to leave...
Why was the chair of sabc being driven around? Maybe the CEO or coo, but the board chair too? Were all those meetings strictly in the service of the broadcaster?
Yes there is no need to drive a chair around. Everyone has chairs.
When you pay a bill you are accepting it as correct. They are not too clever at the SABC.
Ha, heard this one before, didn't we??
Just another drop in the bucket or is it out of the bucket. The theft and corruption in SA is so rife and is totally out of control. Nothing ever happens. One board of inquiry after the next is being appointed and they are probably bribed. The fundamental issue is that the Government has lost all control or never had any control and until that is changed we will simply carry on reading about these issues and nothing will ever change. SO let us pay the proposed 2% tax on income to the SABC and the annual 33% increase to Eskom and the new Public Medical Aid and the Toll roads as we need to understand that these fat cats need to be kept in luxury as it is so much nicer to steal with a full belly than when hungry. Soon we wont need to read about5 it any longer as it is now illegal to publish the information and off course the Constitutional Court will start ruling that corruption is good once that process has been finalised. Is this the democracy that people fought for.
Typical of this corrupt and incompetent cadre deployment of the criminal anc regime........the time for South African Spring is hopefully very close
This is pathetic, these kinds of people need to be found out and dealt with accordingly. I dont know why people always feel the need to steal money. Why dont you work hard and earn the money like most South Africans do.
FIRE THEM ALL?.What is the use?The vacancies will be filled by more of the same.This is after all the Africa way.
Add Ben Ngubane to the ANC Corruption list. LOSER.
News 24 - Deleting posts..
So much for FREEDOM OF SPEECH!
I ownder if R500000 spent on Apple and Samsung tablets will be investigated as well .....
I wonder if R500000 spent on Apple and Samsung tablets will be investigated as well .....
Yes and then?Of course,then they give the CEO a golden handshake and no prosecution at all.Rocket science!!!

This is one of those games that on my "I love it to death but I just CANNOT complete it because it's too f-ing hard" list together with Wizardry 7 and 8, Ninja Gaiden, Mega Man 9 and a whole slew of others. I've restarted so many times and I fail every time. I heard the end game is even more brutal... :(
instant classic, 100/100 one of the all time greats and i still play it to this day
6 years later, I'm still playing this game. Thank god for the mod squad!
one of the best games ever 10\10
A brillant game! :D
Just want to say JA2 is the best game ever developed (unless someone would reprogram it in 3d, with new graphics and still keep the normal qualities...)
Jagged Alliance 3 is set to use the Silent Storm engine..which would, imo be a better game
Several are in development now... Including the one for my Avatar :)

Complaint Review: Xtreme Roofing
Xtreme Roofing Roofing Company to avoid at all cost Thornhill Ontario
A) They blocked my driveway with the garbage bin and shingles for 3 weeks making me call them many times
B) They do not have a proper crew, basically they, like alot of roofing companies hire by the season, so.... day one they send only one guy with a broken roof ladder generator to carry the singles up to the roof, it took a good 5 minutes to carry one bundle of shingles to the roof.
C) Then day 2, they hired 2 students and trained them on my roof, talk about mistakes eg ripping off things the were not supposed to. A simple roof job that should have taken 1 day took three days
D) They claim to give you "Do not pay for one year" but when you ask for it the price changes and they claim now that you have to pay Financing charges with a lame story that most companies charge it without telling the customer ahead of time.
E) When you ask about things they either forget to do or hope you will notice not done and request it done they start jerking up thier price. Victor the Sales guy for the west end of GTA Says "Oh you did not ask for it" basically you the home owner are required by Victor to know what to ask for.
F) Clean up job of the roof and site poorly done, lose nail on the roof, gutter clogged with dust from shingles that should have been blown away. They had to come back 3 times just to clean up and properly secure the flashing they were supposed to replace but according to Victor i did not ask for it.
It was an experience i wouldn't want to any one to go thru and talk about being rip-off, they ordered extra which i was clearly chraged but the took it back with them claiming i was not charged.

Rough Numbers
When parents look at the future for our kids with disabilities, there's a lot that's unknowable. For us, as I've said before, it's the biggest unknowable in the world. We do everything we can to stack the deck in our children's odds, and we look for the path to a sympathetic future, in the same way we always have. As our kids get closer to that adult life, our efforts become a little more desperate, because we know what the statistics say. We can't know the future, but we can do the math. And we can read the news.
On this 25th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act, that news isn't great. According to NPR, the poverty and unemployment gap for people with disabilities has worsened in the twenty-five years since the ADA was enacted. If you have a disability in this country, your chances of being poor are double that of the general population. And if you're an adult with a disability, your chances of being unemployed are about eighty-five percent. EIGHTY-FIVE PERCENT.
Those numbers really have gotten worse. In 1990, at the time the law was passed, 28.8 percent of adults with disabilities were employed. By 2013, that number was down to 14.4 percent. The article gives a number of possible reasons for the low numbers, such as employers' fears of the kinds of accommodations they'd be required to provide. But it didn't really explain why the already abysmal 1990 numbers have gotten so much worse, despite the changes in federal law.
I'm not sure I have a theory, either. The article suggests that with the passage of the ADA, many were led to believe that the struggle for disability rights was over, when in fact it was just beginning. It's more like people with disabilities who have been fighting for equality were finally told "We recognize the battle you've been waging, now here's a bazooka." Or perhaps more accurately, "Here's a rock."
Are there some reasonable theories about what is happening? Is there something more rational and empirically demonstrable than the idea that people are simply becoming worse? Less willing to help their fellow citizens, less inclined to take a chance on someone who is different and might need some accommodation? I try not to be a huge downer about this, I really do. But even ten years ago, I don't remember living by the now-crucial adage "Don't read the comments", particularly when reading articles about the human rights of people with disabilities.
Twenty-five years ago, we thought the issue was important enough to put the force of federal law behind it. Has the ADA failed to bring meaningful change to the lives of our disabled loved ones? I don't believe that for a second. More likely, is it possible that without the ADA, things would have spiraled downward even more precipitously in the lives of those with disabilities?
Can we learn to value our disabled citizens? Will we ever become capable of recognizing their intrinsic human worth?
Schuyler has been finishing up her part for our joint presentation next week. One of the questions she answered was what does she want to do in the future. I'm really proud of her answer.
"Maybe to help sick children and the poor and people like me with little monsters of their own."
Like just about every young person with a disability, Schuyler will have a great deal to offer the world if given half a chance. She and others just like her are filled with the desire to do great things, if only we as a society can figure out how to make a working space for them. It shouldn't be this hard.

The following is a breakdown of the seven categories (size excluded) we use when evaluating college running backs. Also included in each category are, in my opinion, the top three examples from college football today.
Best three examples:
1. Darren McFadden, Arkansas (Jr.)
2. Mike Hart, Michigan (Sr.)
3. Steve Slaton, West Virginia (Jr.)
The optimal load-carrying back would stand around 6-foot, weigh approximately 225 pounds and run a sub-4.5 40-yard dash. But there is a lot more to running ability than size, strength and speed. Great runners must also possess vision to find the hole, patience to wait for blocks to develop, initial burst to get through the hole and change-of-direction skills to make the sharp cut.

"What a perfectly filthy idea!" Such was the reaction of a senior London publisher in 1984 to the news that Michael Hastings was writing a play about TS Eliot's failed first marriage to Vivienne Haigh-Wood. Although Tom and Viv caused panic among keepers of the Eliot flame, it now seems a moderately discreet bio-play, far less shocking than recent investigations into Larkin's lechery or the private lives of Ted and Sylvia.
Hastings's point is that Tom and Viv were a tragic mismatch. He shows them first meeting in Oxford in 1915: the volatile daughter of an upper-crust English family confronts a socially awkward American emigre. Marrying in haste, they suffer at leisure; and, having achieved a physical separation, Eliot conspires with Viv's family to have her certified insane and locked up for the last 12 years of her life.
In this revised text, Hastings spells out more clearly than before what went wrong. "I married you to escape my family," says Viv. "You married me, it seems, to embrace almost everything they stood for." Hastings is at his best in showing Eliot's yearning for a closed, hierarchical world that would endorse his belief that family is the root of culture. The Haigh-Woods, meanwhile, are superbly caught in all their anachronistic absurdity - especially Viv's endearingly obtuse brother, Maurice, who sums up the perils to an aspiring poet of possessing an erratic wife as "one slip with a wonky squaw - big stab in the back".
Hastings, however, tiptoes cautiously round his main theme: Viv's vital contribution to her husband's oeuvre and the idea that, in rejecting his wife, Eliot lapsed into a debilitating notion of poetic impersonality. In one hilarious scene, we see Viv trying to explain The Waste Land to her stubbornly unliterary father. But, while Hastings shows Viv as a grievously wronged woman, he never fleshes out her assertion that she is threaded through every line of her husband's poetry. In establishing Tom's defects, Hastings fails to establish Viv's qualities.
As a result, Lindsay Posner's well-ordered production loses some of its dynamic in the later stages, though the acting provides constant pleasure. Will Keen gives us a highly plausible Eliot, looking like a man permanently uncomfortable inside his own body. Frances O'Connor captures Viv's odd mixture of larkiness and intensity.
But it is the Haigh-Woods who steal the show. Robert Portal's Maurice is a monument of bovine beneficence; Benjamin Whitrow as the father is all airy detachment; and Anna Carteret as the whaleboned mother proudly announces that "Viv had the best cockney accent in Tunbridge Wells". It's a remark that confirms Hastings's play is far better on the rigidities of class than on the poisoned springs of creativity.

Hiring for the Sales Floor
Finding and choosing the right person to work for you is a tough challenge. It's particularly tough when you're hiring someone to sell for you in your cart or store. Obviously you want someone with the skills and personality to develop profitable relationships with your customers. Someone who will work "for" you—not just taking orders and direction, but working toward your goals for your retail business.
But how do you assess those capabilities in someone you're meeting for the first time? Especially when they're bent on creating a favorable image? Sounds like you need to be a mind-reader. No wonder many retailers throw up their hands, rely on gut instinct and perfunctory interviews to fill staff openings, and hope for the best. Big mistake. "Some places are so desperate for people, they'll take anyone who's breathing," says Ian Jacobsen, president of Jacobsen Consulting Group. "But if you hire in haste, you'll repent at leisure."
Here's some advice from leading workplace consultants to build a team of staffers who will stimulate sales and attract new and repeat customers.
Finding them
Get your current staff to help you find potential new sales employees. You want as many applicants as you can find, because the larger the pool of candidates, the better your chance of finding great talent. The best way is to involve your current staff, says Rochelle Turoff, president of RJ Scott & Associates, a consulting group. "Make everyone's job recruiting," she says. Your staff will perform a valuable screening function by recommending people who meet your needs. Also encourage them to emphasize the pluses of working for you, including any valuable non-financial benefits such as flexible schedules, advancement opportunities, and child-friendly policies.
To get the staff motivated, create a reward system for those who bring in
talent you hire, and make it so that you pay the reward once that new hire stays for a certain period of time (60 days, or three months, or to the end of the season; you can even specify the date, if you're seasonal).
Spend more time on the most promising candidates by pre-screening to trim the number of people you interview. Pre-screening can be a life saver. "You can identify your 'kick-outs' on the phone" first, says Mel Kleiman, president of the consulting firm Humetrics. "Start by asking yourself what characteristics would eliminate people from the available job." Then on the phone, ask questions that identify those characteristics. Kleiman offers these examples of "kick-out" questions:
- Do you have reliable transportation?
- What shifts are you available to work?
- What work hours do you prefer?
- What hours can't you work?
- What minimum salary do you need?
- Have you ever worked in retail sales?
Interview Qs
Successful interviews include two types of questions. The first type assesses personal characteristics for sales success. The second type assesses honesty and work ethic.
"You need a clear idea of what it takes to be successful on the job and selling in your particular store environment," says Turoff. She suggests conducting a "job preview" by getting input from your staff. "Ask your best sales people, 'What are the personal qualities that make for success at our store? If you were to pick our next sales person, what kind of individual would it be?'"
This way, you'll discover vital characteristics you can test for in the interviews. Most likely, your staff will emphasize being personable, friendly, and able to engage people in conversation. These are important—within reason. "I temper being friendly with having good judgment," says Turoff. "Most customers don't like overzealous people."
So how can you tell if someone will be friendly and customer-centered in the formal confines of a job interview? Ask questions that get them to open up and assess themselves, says Jacobsen, questions like these:
- Tell me about one or two sales people you believe are outstanding, and what makes them so good.
- How do you compare yourself with them?
- In your past reviews, what did your supervisors identify as your strengths? Areas to work on? What progress did you make?
- What feedback did you get from your co-workers about working with you?
- Describe the sales training you've had. What should it have covered but didn't?
- What do you find really satisfying about sales? What bugs you about sales?
- Describe a successful interaction you had with a customer.
- Did you have repeat sales? What did you do to get customers to come back?
- For someone not yet in sales: What do you find attractive about sales? Why do you think you'll be good at it?
These are all "open ended" questions: they force the applicant to open up and expand their responses instead of giving a simple yes or no. By answering open-ended questions, applicants are bound to reveal their sales aptitude and critical attitudes towards customers.
Can we talk?
Successful sales people have great communication skills—listening and talking well. The good ones repeat what customers say with "transitional" phrases like "OK, you're saying you need… ," or "Sounds like you're interested in… " Restatements like this get customers to open up and describe their needs more fully. And that lets the salesperson meet that customer's need with your product.
"By listening well, good sales people make sure they really understand what customers want," says Fred Martels, president of People Solution Strategies. "That creates value for your store. Customers have so many shopping options today [that] they don't want to be sold—they want to buy," he says. "So the more questions your sales staff asks, the better off your store will be."
How can you assess the applicant's listening skills? Martels suggests having them read the following statements and respond to each one with "Very little," "Some," or "A lot." While the candidate answers, notice the degree of eye contact, another important facet of good communication.
- I remember the main points about what I hear.
- I wait to hear the speaker's whole message before answering.
- I don't jump to conclusions.
- I don't argue.
Jacobsen has another way to assess communication skills: "See if the applicant starts the conversation with a pitch about themselves and why they're good sales people—before [they learn] more about your business and the position available." He says that applicants with good communication skills "try to get more information so they can present themselves creatively." A good candidate will ask questions like, "Tell me more about the job and why it's open."
"The job application process is a selling one," he says, and the way the candidate handles it is "a live test of their ability to elicit information from the customer [in this case, you, the employer], and to listen well."
Work ethic
Finally, you want to ask questions to assess the candidate's work ethic. Kleiman suggests these as examples:
- What might make you late for work?
- How many times did you miss work for reasons other than being sick?
- What do you think is a fair attendance policy?
- Have you been in a cash-handling job before?
- If so, did the drawer ever come up short? (If they say no, they may be lying, says Kleiman.)
- What if a friend wanted to buy something and knows you get an employee discount. How do you feel about buying the item for him with your discount? ("You want to put the applicant in a situation requiring honesty," says Kleiman.)
Planning for hiring success—"informed hiring"—can mean the difference between success and disaster. Some retailers, "figuring that just about anyone can sell, don't take the time to interview properly," says Jacobsen. But "some retailers really concentrate on getting good sales people. They go to great lengths to hire the best." They're the winners in the hiring game.

DAILYKENN.com -- This is your amygdala. It's about the size of almond. It's a part of your brain.
Actually, you have two of them. One is located in your brain's left hemisphere. The other is in your brain's right hemisphere.
The plural is amygdalae.
When your amygdalae are working properly you experience emotions such as empathy. When you see images of little poverty-stricken brown girls in Central America, your amygdalae are stimulated to communicate with your frontal lobe, another part of your brain. You experience empathetic altruism. It compels you to pick up your check book and send your hard-earned money to a non-profit organization that, in turn, uses your money to feed Juanita and buy her nice, new clothes — even though you've never actually met Juanita.
Social psychologists understand the role your amygdalae play in directing your thoughts and feelings and subsequent actions. They have become masters at manipulating you by appealing directly to your amygdalae and your sense of guilt, empathy, and other emotions that emit from them.
Social engineers attack your amygdalae with thoughts and images that compel you to behave in a manner that suits their agenda. They touch your negative emotions with concepts such as xenophobia and white privilege. Simultaneously they introduce cinematic images of suffering black slaves. Your brain absorbs the concepts and images and send messages to your frontal lobes that, in turn, form your world view.
Your conclusions are not rational. They are emotional.
Some people seem to have a heightened sense of empathy.
Women, for example, tend to be more pathologically predisposed to empathy than men. That may explain why women commit fewer violent crimes and are less likely to take a belt to bad-behaving children than men.
White people also seem to be more pathologically predisposed to empathy than some non-whites. That may explain why white people commit fewer violent crimes than, say, blacks. It may also explain why white people send money to help Juanita but brown people seldom send money to assist skinny white kids in Appalachia. It may explain why white people adopt little brown children but brown people seldom adopt little white children.
People with dysfunctional amygdalae typically display traits of psychopathy. Psychopaths lack empathy. The notorious serial killer Ted Bundy was a psychopath. He lacked empathy for his victims. Bundy knew what he was doing was wrong; he just didn't care. Nor could he. His amygdalae were almost certainly dysfunctional.
Neuroscientists can view brain scan images from MRIs and detect with almost 100 percent accuracy which brains belong to psychopaths. MRIs of psychopaths reveal they have underdeveloped amygdalae.
Dr. James Fallon is an example. He is a psychologist. He is also a self-described psychopath. He lacks empathy and displays other behavior patterns that are linked to his brain variation. You can see the difference between Dr. Fallon's brain and a typical brain in the image below.
Psychopaths are not crazy. They are in touch with reality. When they hurt others, they are fully aware their actions are wrong. They simply don't care. About one percent of the general population is considered psychopathic. About 20 percent of American prison populations are psychopaths.
To understand why Western nations open their borders to invading hordes of violent Muslims, we must understand how the brains of white people function. We open our borders to Muslims for the same reason we open our wallets for little brown girls in Central America and our families to adopt little brown children.
For Western civilization to survive, we must come to terms with the physiology of our brains and how our thinking processes are manipulated. Then we can resist that manipulation and begin to think rationally rather than emotionally. Failure to do so will be our demise and the ultimate ruin of Juanita.
It is reasonable to assume that Western culture has advanced because the brains of Western peoples are both intelligent and empathetic. We prefer individual independence and value concepts such as liberty and freedom. We also value private property. Still, we find cohesion in empathy for others rather than in governmental coercion.
Other people groups seem to prefer collectivism, tribalism, and structured governments.
Marxism mandates collectivism by government coercion. Western people naturally repel such social structures. Efforts to corral white people into communal living always fail because they contradict our nature.
For Marxism to prevail among Western people, it must bypass our natural tendencies to drive alone rather than ride a metro train, to live in single-dwelling houses rather than a cubical in a housing project, and to plow our own fields rather than labor on a collective farm.
Marxism is attempting to bypass our natural inclinations by populating our lands with people groups who prefer collective living. Social engineers persuade us to surrender by appealing to our amygdalae rather than to our cerebrum, the part of the brain that reasons.
Below is a movie trailer that will appeal to your amygdalae rather than your cerebrum. Watch the trailer and see if you can think reasonably rather than emotionally.

Monday, December 13, 2010
Hi All!!
Sorry I have been MIA on my teams, blogging and just plain gone off spark the past week. I had the flu :( I was in bed or by the toilet all last week, I couldnt eat anything except chicken broth and water! EGHh... I hate being sick and I hate to think how hard its going to be to work out tonight since Its been a week since Ive done anything except Barf (Sorry a bit to much info!)
Today is day 53 and with only 17 more days untill New Years and my goal number still over 27 LBS away I know that I wont be making the number I wanted by than but Im not discouraged, as long as I am moving down even if it is slowly Its better than stopping completly! I have uped my calories to 1100-1300 a day to see if that will help my halt in weight loss. Last time I lost weight this is what happend once I hit 25 LBS lost it just stoped! GRrRR... I was hoping I would platee untill I was at least half way to my goal but I have so guess it s time for plan B?? Im going to do mostly Jillilans videos at home with only a few cardio sessions being on the treadmill and cross trainer, I guess my body just got used to running so I gotta switch it up a bit for these last three weeks, Im hoping doing some body weight training will also tighten me up a bit... Its weird ever since I started losing weight my stomache has become more soft, Maybe cause I have a mommy tummy??? Haha I dont know but I need some progress even just a pound or two! Pheww....

So if your goal is still 27 pounds away... that means that you lost 18 pounds in 53 days! That's over 2 pounds each week... that is some amazing results! You set yourself a really high goal to start with, so you should be very proud of what you have accomplished so far! You are doing amazing! Keep it up :)

Glad yu are feeling much better. Sometimes you really need to switch up that cardio because your body does get used to doing the same thing over and over. And the belly, cruches my friend. there are so many different ways to lose your abs. I never thought my "pouch" would go away, yes its still there, but getting smaller everyday.
Keep the faith, in time you wont ever remember its there!!!

I am glad you are feeling better. This time of years seems to be hard for everyone to keep on track. I guess the important thing is is that we realize it and keep right on going, get up, dust off and begin again. You can do it!!

My belly is soft, too...Definitely got the mom-belly thing. My doctor said it will never entirely go away and yeah, I believe him...:( I used to be thinner and even then, I had it. It at least looked better back then! I'm not like a psycho-pro-plastic-surgery person (Hello, Bridalplasty...did you see that show?!!?!) but I am looking forward to the day when I will be able to get my stomach fixed! I want a mini-tuck.
You might need more calories than what you're consuming right now. I know you've upped them, but that is still pretty low. I had my intake at right around the same amount and it put me into "starvation mode" and stopped all my weight loss. But, if it's working for you, by all means, continue!! :)
I hope you are feeling a lot better. The Flu SUCKS!!!

Porsche 918 Spyder Images, Review, Price & Details
The concept of this car appeared in 2010 at the International Motor Show in Geneva. Then do not believe that the German company decides to produce such a radical sports car. Seriously about stuffing a unique car talking last spring , when the most lucky journalists allowed to ride on the prototype. Only now, after three and a half years after the initial announcement, the 918 Spyder is really ready for mass production. Pedantic Germans surprisingly accurately preserved the exterior of the concept and reproduce the declared specifications. Before us is definitely one of the greatest hypercar of today.
Exactly 50 years ago, Porsche unveiled in Frankfurt, the first generation of the 911. Over time, coupe became the card manufacturer. The novelty 918 Spyder will be a different role: it will expand the boundaries of the possible. Since 1963, there were more than 820,000 "nine hundred and eleventh", and the new "Spider" will be the piece goods.
Engineers have not abandoned the original idea to build a hybrid supercar. Today, that same ideology embedded in McLaren P1 and Ferrari LaFerrari. Of course, the battery is much heavier car, but the hybrids, there are several significant advantages. First, to create a four-wheel drive vehicle is not required to establish transfer cases, clutches, drive shafts and other structures. Second, the battery can be installed in the floor, which will reduce the height of the center of gravity. Thirdly, it is possible to fully use regenerative braking. His run-in hybrid installation Germans on the 911 GT3 R hybrid.
The monocoque and stretchers made of carbon fiber. Engine technology borrowed from the RS Spyder prototypes lemanovskih class LMP2. Of the 4.6-liter V8 engine-squeezed Porsche 608 horsepower. This is great, but not a record figure: with modern technology turbo quite easy to achieve such parameters. Another thing is that the engine used in atmospheric! With specific power 132 horsepower per liter 918 Spyder 26 horsepower ahead Carrera GT. That is, we have the most highly accelerated "aspirated" from Porsche in the history of the company.
To the main engine in parallel connected electric power of 115 kW (154 hp). These units can operate together or separately. DIC is located directly in front of the rear axle vehicle: a mid-layout allows for the most precise control. Petrol V8 and an electric motor connected through a seven-speed transmission to the rear wheels. Front axle rotates another electric unit, the maximum capacity of which is 95 kW (127 hp). The overall impact of all the nodes exceeds 880 horsepower. This value seems incredible, but competitors are not asleep: McLaren P1 and Ferrari LaFerrari should be a little more powerful.
Manufacturer laid five modes of the hybrid setup: E-Power, Hybrid, Sport Hybrid, Race Hybrid and Hot Lap. Appointment of the first of them is fully consistent with its title - an imitation of the 100-percent electric vehicle. The built-in battery (312 individual cells with a total capacity of about 7 kWh) can be reached from 16 to 32 kilometers, even in this case, the Porsche 918 Spyder is quite dynamic: from 0 to 100 km / h and it accelerates in less than seven seconds. And not a single gram of carbon dioxide!
Hybrid mode is more flexible: it is also configured to minimize fuel consumption and harmful emissions into the atmosphere, but if necessary can be a sports car and "shoot." Sport Hybrid gasoline engine will not turn off. In this it was possible to stop, but the Race Hybrid allows you to enjoy the superpowers car: at any given time under the pedal will be clusters around 880 horsepower. The controls are responsive, like the exposed nerve, and electric motors are ready to give their peak performance for a short period of time. Hot Lap - a button that can be pressed when already activated mode, Race Hybrid. The creators recommend only push it on the track.
Speaking of racing. According to official data, the new Porsche hypercar goes in 6 minutes 57 seconds. Faster is doing just fireballs Radical SR8, who can not be named road cars. For comparison: Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 shows the time on the ring 7:25, that is between him and the 918 Spyder a real gulf. Of course, this Lambo and not a competitor to the new product.
According to the catalogs Porsche, presented a sports car with space gaining 100 km / h in 2.8 seconds, the second hundred submits Boliden by 7.7 seconds, the third - after 22. Silver 918 Spyder has become an ideological follower Carrera GT. Wealthy residents of countries with a moody climate can not worry: two-carbon roof supplied and placed in the trunk, located at the "Spider" on the front. Its approximate volume of 100 liters.

It's been freezing in Charlottesville this week (we actually had a little snow yesterday!), and I've been itching to wear my spring clothes, so at the first sign of warmer weather this morning, I threw on this maxi with a sweater for coffee and a walk with Bogey and Brett. Have a great weekend!

Only chaos can follow if justice is not seen to be done
One of the great fears in the wider GAA community is the idea of elitism becoming firmly established as a principle. Yes, it's there - see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil, and all that - but it is not welcome.
That was at the core of the resistance to the GPA in its early years. The idea that an association to protect the interests of a so-called elite group within the GAA rankled with the grassroots (and who's to say there isn't still a hang-up on that point?) and any time there is a suggestion of elitism it will provoke a similar response.
And it is this very point which is at the heart of the DRA's decision to quash the one-match ban imposed on Diarmuid Connolly after he was sent off in Dublin's drawn All-Ireland semi-final with Mayo last month. The decision meant Connolly was free to participate in the replay six days later and angered a lot of people. It baffled them too. The publication last week of the DRA's full report has done little to change that.
The DRA panel for the hearing comprised of former Supreme Court judge Hugh O'Flaherty and solicitors David Nohilly and Brian Rennick. We now know that the decision to quash the suspension, even though the sending-off by referee Joe McQuillan was not overturned, was a two-to-one decision, with Rennick as the dissenting voice.
Ultimately, the reasoning behind the decision - as revealed in the report - is as troubling as the decision itself. There is a lot of technical detail but it is very difficult to see how O'Flaherty and Nohilly arrived at the point where they felt it was justifiable to quash the suspension.
The Central Hearings Committee (CHC) was Connolly's first port of call and having heard the case a one-match ban - which is the recommended sanction for a player sent off for striking with the hand or fist, a Category III offence - was imposed. Connolly's appeal to the Central Appeals Commitee (CAC) failed.
In a lengthy outline of his opposition to the DRA's decision to find in Connolly's favour, Rennick is unequivocal: "There are no special circumstances in this case which merit a direction that no further action be taken. That is particularly so based on the finding of the CHC, the CAC, and a finding which has not been interfered with by the DRA that the infraction, as alleged, did in fact occur." In other words, that Connolly did strike Lee Keegan as the referee reported. Rennick continues: "The consequence of such a direction in a case such as this is that the claimant [Connolly] having committed a Cat III infraction is unpunished. That in my view is an unjustifiable precedent to set in the context of a disciplinary process."
But the most troubling aspect of the decision is that the nature of the game that Connolly would miss appears to have been a factor in reaching it. This flies in the face of the ethos of the GAA and its principles of fairness and equality. In theory, there is no distinction between the various levels of competition in the sense that the same codes and rules apply.
This does not appear to be a view shared by O'Flaherty and Nohilly, who write: "In this instance, the consequence for the claimant was suspension from an All-Ireland semi-final (replay) match. This has to be construed as a serious sanction and therefore a higher standard is required of the disciplinary bodies in circumstances such as this."
If this is to be held up now as a precedent, then only chaos can follow. Again, Rennick does not hold back. "I do not subscribe to that view as to do so would be to draw a clear distinction as and between those who play our games at a local level and those elite players who play at the highest level of inter-county competition. For any player to play in a county final or semi-final in whatever division or at whatever age level is just as important to that player as it is for an elite player to play at the highest level of inter-county competition. The club player deserves no less a standard in respect of the application of the rules and the principles of natural and constitutional justice."
Those intricately involved in implementing the GAA's disciplinary codes at all levels will presumably have been keen to know the reasoning behind the decision but if they are to find any comfort in it, then it will be via Rennick's comments. A properly functioning disciplinary system cannot take account of what games a player will miss if suspended. All that can be of interest are, firstly, the facts of the matter - that the player committed the offence accused of, and, secondly, that fair procedures are applied and the rules of the sporting association were followed. The DRA's findings on both these points in this case are very much open to challenge.
The DRA is 10 years in existence and although often publicly derided the truth is that it has largely served its purpose. The procession to the courts in search of injunctions and judicial reviews has been halted and there is now a bank of decisions which guide and inform new cases. Along with a rule book which has been rewritten to iron out unintended escape hatches and loopholes, the GAA's disciplinary system is considerably better now than it was a decade ago. This latest decision, though, is a setback to the DRA's credibility and has led to calls for another upheaval. It is possible, however, that Rennick's robust opposition will be enough to weaken future attempts to use the Connolly decision as a precedent.
Rennick states there had been no failures on the part of the CHC and CAC in how they handled Connolly's case: "It is my view that the claimant in this instance was afforded fair procedures, there being no misapplication of any of the rules complained of and there being no breach of accepted principles of fair procedures, natural and constitutional justice, such as would entitle this Tribunal to interfere with any of the decisions made."
He continues: "I strenuously disagree therefore with the majority decision which finds that there was a significant impairment of the rights of the claimant, which was disproportionate, irrational and unfair. I am further of the view that the decision and reasons of the majority in this case is fundamentally wrong in that it is in fact based on reasoning the arguments which were not canvassed by the claimant at all and as such are in fact the construct of the majority in circumstances where in fact the Tribunal did not find in favour of the claimant in respect of 10 of the 11 Grounds of Claim as submitted. The single Ground of Claim on which the majority have found in favour of the claimant is firstly a Ground that should not have been considered by the Tribunal as it had not in fact been advanced before the CHC."
No sporting organisation can afford to have either doubt or, worse, scorn, poured on its disciplinary system. It must maintain its credibility. The view within the GAA seems to be that there shouldn't be a knee-jerk reaction. The feeling is that the system works, that cases are dealt with in a timely and efficient manner. (Connolly's hearing and two appeals were all heard within five days of his dismissal.) Calls for an overhaul of the Association's entire disciplinary process will be resisted for now but there is a recognition that, just as in any walk of life, justice has to be seen to be done, and in this instance it wasn't.

Clergyman Tried for Heresy by Diocese
A rare heresy trial was held Tuesday for a former Roman Catholic priest who joined an Ecumenical denomination in 1999. The Rev. Ned Reidy did not attend the one-day closed trial, which was conducted by three priests at the Diocese of San Bernardino. Reidy, 69, called the trial "medieval" and contends it has no authority because he stopped being a Roman Catholic. Rev. Howard Lincoln, spokesman for the diocese, said Reidy was automatically excommunicated when he went to another denomination, but under church law he remains a Catholic priest until he is formally excommunicated and defrocked. "I just think the discourtesy level is appalling," Reidy said of the trial. "I'm not a Roman Catholic priest. I used to be." Reidy was ordained in 1962 and was pastor of a parish in
Pakistani Christians Announce Day of Protest, Prayer & Fasting
ASSIST News Service
A number of Pakistani Christians will observe an upcoming day of "Protest, Prayers and Fasting." The event will take place on Dec. 20, and signify the completion of 40 days of mourning for the recent tragedies in Sangala Hill, when announcements were made in mosques urging Muslims to attack Christians. According to a news release from the All Pakistan Minorities Alliance (APMA), "This day will be observed to condemn the lawlessness and intolerance in the name of religion, and (the) callous attitude of authorities for not arresting the real culprits." APMA Chairman Shahbaz Bhatti explained that the incidents revolved around a Christian man, Yousaf Masih, being falsely alleged for desecration of the Koran. That was followed by announcements in a number of mosques on Sangala Hill urging Muslims to attack Christians. A mob of approximately 5,000 attacked Christians with weapons, gasoline, highly flammable chemicals, sticks and batons. Bhatti said at the insistence of a variety of Sangala Hill's community leaders, an official visited the site of the incident six days after it occurred. According to Bhatti speaking in the news release, this official promised to launch an immediate official enquiry into what happened. He said that Christians living at Sangala Hill are worried because of the ongoing atmosphere of fear and insecurity. "Bhatti added that "Discriminatory laws such as blasphemy laws, a major tool for creating disharmony should be repealed, and reconciliation efforts between people of different faith should be made to eliminate violence in the name of religion."
