December 26, 2006 | ETFs | | Author Asif
… I Gave In To Temptation and bought my first ETF (Exchange Traded Fund) to add diversity to my all-stock portfolio. The PowerShares Value Line Timeliness Select Portfolio (PIV) was introduced last December and is based on the Value Line investment newsletter, one of the best performing investment newsletters over a 25 year period according to the Hulbert Financial Digest. The Value Line Investment Survey was also part of the "2007 Honor Roll" in the latest edition of the Hulbert Financial Digest, an honor reserved only for those newsletters that do well in up and down markets.
Given this excellent long-term track record, how did this ETF perform in 2006? It turned out to be a dog returning a meager 4.65% since the start of 2006 and underperforming the S&P 500 by a wide margin. For folks like me who bought this ETF shortly after its release last December, returns were even lower but thankfully still in positive territory. In contrast, stocks like Pfizer (PFE), Tata Motors (TTM) and VA Software (LNUX) that I picked up around the same time for my personal portfolio and the SINLetter model portfolio have posted impressive gains of 23.37%, 58.86% and 173.46% respectively.
So is it time to jump ship and abandon this ETF after these lackluster returns? One of the reasons many investors often tend to under perform the very mutual funds that they invest in or the investment newsletters that they follow is because they tend to abandon the fund or newsletter at the first sign of underperformance. This tendency to switch frequently between funds or newsletters can do some serious damage to the long-term returns of a portfolio. Apart from Value Line's long-term track record, I also picked up the PowerShares Value Line Timeliness Select Portfolio (PIV) ETF to reduce the risk of my overall portfolio. Given my bleak outlook for 2007, Value Line's tendency to do well in down markets makes it an ideal choice.
I plan to stick with this ETF through 2007 unless I need the capital to invest in the Chile Fund (CH), a closed-end fund that as the name suggests, invests in Chile. After trading at a premium for much of 2006, the fund is finally trading at a discount of -3.22% to Net Asset Value (NAV) and is beginning to look attractive as a play on a country with the highest nominal GDP per capita in Latin America.

I would stick to PIV. Holdings like these reduce the standard deviation of your portfolio. If you are in it for a long term, then the volatility of your portfolio is equally important.
There is this theory by Ashwin Chabra about wealth management framework. It divides the portfolio into three parts. Protection, Market, and Aspiration. PIV would be the part of your market portflio which aspires to at least as good or better than the market. The rest of the high return but higher risk securities form a part of your aspiration portfolio which you would hopefully use to jump the ranks.
I like Tata Motors. Ratan Tata who is the chairman of the Tata group in keenly interested in this company.
Good column posting here. Clearly a quality site.
January 18th, 2007
Mumbaikar, thank you for stopping by and for your kind words. I like Tata Motors (TTM) as well and featured it on SINLetter, a little over a year ago. Despite the fact that it has appreciated more than 83% since I added it to the model portfolio, I still like its valuation. As you may be aware, total vehicle sales grew 43.01% in November (YOY) followed by a 33% gain in December 2006.
I added PIV to my personal portfolio to add some diversification and reduce risk. Even though I was not satisfied with its 2006 performance, it has done well in recent weeks and I will probably continue to hold it for the near future.

"He went to Holland, she went to hell" 27 September 2013
Based on the Afrikaans TV series by the same name, this comedy comes to the big screen. The plot-line is rather convoluted as befits a farce, and sees the main characters get themselves into serious troubles before everything works out like it is supposed to.

If a Shih Tzu is reluctant to be outside or owners feel that the weather is just too harsh to bring their dog out, this can add up to far too many days with inadequate exercise. Though there are some indoor games you can play, this never can equate purposeful walking for a timed duration.
There's no need to have a dog feel less than ideal, if his needs can be met easily by slipping on a shirt or sweater.

Kansas is a Blue State, Folks.
by John Doll
Fri Sep 08, 2006 at 09:15:21 PM PDT
It is often said that Kansas is a red state and that my district, District 1, is the most red of all. Folks, that definition no longer describes the big 1st District of Kansas. One must consider this - the 2002 gubernatorial race in Kansas. A relatively unknown politician, Kathleen Sebelius, a Democrat that believes in affordable healthcare that works for all citizens, ran for Kansas governor.
Not only did Kathleen Sebelius win the majority of votes in Kansas - she also won the majority of votes in my district. Keep in mind, this was at a time when Bush's approval rating was high. I suggest that we view Kansas, and particularly my district, as a typical American district. Not red, not blue - American.
For a jolt in the arm, here's review of what Americans think...
* John Doll's diary :: ::
Regardless of party affiliation, recent polls show that the majority of American people want to change the direction of our country and want to put Democrats in charge of Congress. Americans are fed up with the incompetence, corruption and willful negligence of this current Congress.
August 18-20, 2006, CNN telephone poll, conducted by Opinion Research Company shows:
* The majority of Americans believe Democrats in Congress will do a better job handling the US economy - 52% of adult Americans think that Democrats in Congress will do a better job in dealing with our US economy. A smaller percentage, only 38%, believe that Republicans would do a better job with the economy.
* Most Americans believe Democrats will do a better job dealing with Iraq - 47% of Americans think that Democrats will do a better job dealing with the issues and problems in Iraq, while a smaller number, only 41%, believe that Republicans would.
* Most Americans believe that Bush's invasion of Iraq has made the world LESS safe - 55% of poll respondents said they believe the U.S.-led war in Iraq has made the United States less safe from terrorist attacks, and also 59% said the Iraq war has made the world less safe from terrorism.
August 6-10, 2006, Associated Press/IPSOS poll shows:
* Most Americans disapprove of how George Bush handled Hurricane Katrina - 67% of Americans disapprove of the way George Bush handled the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, while only 31% approve.
* Most Americans believe that the Iraq war has made terrorism worse and that Bush's invasion of Iraq has made the United States less safe, not more safe - 60% of Americans believe that because the US has gone to war in Iraq, there will be more terrorism in the United States, while only 31% think that the war in Iraq has reduced terrorism.
August 3-9, 2006, ABC News/Washington Post poll shows:
* Most Americans will now vote for Democrats - 52% of registered voters say if the election were held today they'd support the Democrat in their congressional district. This preference for Democrats is a number that has held steady for nine months running.
* Only about a third of Americans say they want to vote Republicans to Congress now. Only 39% of Americans say that if the congressional election were held today that they'd support a Republican in their congressional district.
* Most Americans will vote to change Congress. Lowest anti-incumbent rate at 55% since 1994 and shows a clear desire on the part of Americans to vote for Democrats with among anti-incumbent voters, nearly two-thirds now supporting Democrats for the House. Almost 66% of those wanting to oust current congressmen and women now say they will vote for the Democratic congressional candidate in their district.
August 2-3, 2006, A CNN poll, conducted by Opinion Research Company shows:
* Registered voters prefer that Democrats win in the election. A higher number of registered voters nationwide say that they will vote for Democrats for Congress. In this poll, Democrats were favored 53% to just 40% who want Republicans, with 7% having no opinion or voting for another party.
July 28-30, 2006, Cook Political Report / RI Strategies poll:
* Americans want Democrats, not Republicans, to get control of Congress. A higher number of registered voters nationwide are now saying that they want Democrats to take over Congress in 2006. The Democrats were favored 49% to just 36% who want Republicans to remain in charge. When participants were asked to think about the election for U.S. Congress in November, regardless of how they might plan to vote in their own district, about which party they would you like to see in control of Congress after the congressional elections in November - Democrats lead Republicans as the party they want in control 49% to 36%.
July 18, 2006, KWCH-TV (Wichita), KCTV-TV, & SurveyUSA poll:
* The majority of Kansans disapprove of the job Bush is doing as President. 23% of Kansas Republicans disapprove of Bush; 74% of all Independents disapprove of Bush; 80% of all Democrats disapprove of Bush; 53% of all Kansas women disapprove of Bush; and, overall, 52% of all Kansans disapprove of the job that Bush is doing as President.
June 24-27, 2006, Bloomberg / Los Angeles Times poll shows:
* Registered voters favor Democrats over Republicans in contests in their congressional districts by 49% to 35%.
* Voters believe Democrats will focus on the right issues. Democrats have opened up a 16-point lead on the question of who is "best equipped to tackle the nation's most urgent challenges.
* Voters think that Democrats will handle the Iraq War and immigration better than Republicans. Democrats lead Republicans, 36% to 32%, on handling the war in Iraq and hold a 34% to 23% advantage on immigration. Asked which
party best represents ``honesty and integrity,'' respondents chose Democrats, 31% to 24%.
* Support for Democrats runs strong in all parts of the U.S., the poll shows. The party registered big advantages in the East and West, traditional strongholds, as well as the Midwest, a demographic analysis indicates. Even in the South, the Republicans' strongest region, Democrats led in the preference to control Congress by 46% to 41%.
* Democrats widen lead over Republicans in battle for Congress. 54% want to see Democrats control Congress, while 34% prefer that Republicans stay in power. This is up from April when Democrats led Republicans 51% to 38%.
June 14, 2006, NBC Nightly News poll shows:
* The highest percentage said that Democrats should be put in charge, when asked who should control Congress after the 2006 elections - 49% Democrats vs. 38% Republicans - an 11 point difference, a slight improvement over April when it was 45% Democrats, 39% Republicans. For several months now, the highest number of Americans have been reporting that they want to put Democrats in control.
* The majority of Americans are displeased with the current Republican-controlled Congress. 23% of those surveyed approved of the job our current Congress was doing while 64% of those surveyed disapproved. When asked about the current Republican-controlled Congress, the majority
are displeased with the job Congress is doing.
* Americans are concerned about the Iraq War. The issue that Americans say is most important to them is the Iraq War, with 53% reporting this as most important. In second place, 32% say that immigration is the most important issue.
* Voters are not confident that Republicans will be successful in Iraq. With regard to the war in Iraq, 38% say they are more confident about success in Iraq and 53% say less confident.
* Voters believe that the Iraq War was not the right decision. When asked was Iraq the right decision, 41% say it was the right decision and 53% say it was not the right decision. 81% of Democrats say it was the wrong decision.
* Most American disapprove of the job Bush is doing. About Bush, only 37% of those surveyed approved of the job George Bush is doing and 58% disapproved. Even 1 out of every Republicans, or 20% of all Republicans disapprove of the job Bush is doing and almost all Democrats disapprove. Only 1 out of every 3 Americans approve of Bush.
March 7-10, 2005, a Gallup poll shows:
* Only 1 out of every 3 Americans actually approve anymore of the job that Congress is doing. Only 37% of Americans gave our current Republican-controlled Congress a high approval rating, down from 45% in February 2005.
* Congress' approval rating is sliding. A total of 53% of voters disapproved of the job our current Congress is doing, an increased percentage of disapproval from 48% in February 2005.
Beginning the last Saturday in September, we will be having our weekly "Doorbelling Events" throughout the 69 counties of the Big First District of Kansas. We invite everyone to join in. We really need help on the ground. Please join us. To learn more about our Doorbelling - please come to our website to learn more - to www.dollforcongress.org/action-doorbelling.html.

The answer lies in South Lake Union, where Jeff Bezos has posted up shop. People will need to program, provide support and customer service for these beasts. At least for right now. If Trump has his way, we will be taking all those jobs we exported to Mexico and China and boosting our manufacturing again. However, what he fails to realize, just like the computerization of our society, is that these ideas have been implimented by businesses whose primary goal is maximizing profit for the shareholders. If that means cars get produced in Mexico or service employees get replaced by robots, so be it; as long as it saves a buck!
My "day job" is in hotels. At the property I work at, we will be going to "digital" keys on your smartphone next year. The eventual goal will be to reduce staffing at the front desk and time spent by the guest checking in. If people aren't coming to the desk to check in, all you need is one person to answer phones, give info on where to eat, put a "face" to the property, and babysit the machines.
Remember, computers don't call off, threaten to unionize, ask for raises, or sexually harass other computers!

I am pleased to announce that FiveOuncesOfPain.com has entered into a new partnership with the Brazilian MMA website Planet Tatami, which is located at www.planettatami.com.br.
As a part of our new agreement, select content from 5 Oz. will be appearing on Planet Tatami translated into Portuguese. In return, some of Planet Tatami's Portuguese content will be translated into English and will appear on 5 Oz. of Pain.
The first article to appear on 5 Oz. from Planet Tatami is a quick interview with UFC newcomer Dan Hardy. We'll have more from Planet Tatami in the future, but this is just a start.
Hardy is a native of Britain and will be making his UFC debut at UFC 89 on Oct. 18 at the National Indoor Arena in Birmingham, England in a welterweight fight against Akihiro Gono.
Hardy is an unknown to casual fans, but hardcore fans know him well from his outstanding performances while competing for the Japan-based Cage Force promotion. He is without question one of the top fight prospects in the UK and could emerge as the UFC's second biggest British star next to Michael Bisping.
In order to get to know Hardy a little better, we're proud to present this interview conducted by Planet Tatami's Gabriel Maurer de Barros.
Planet Tatami: Is your fight against Akihiro Gono confirmed?
Dan Hardy: Yes it is
Planet Tatami: What is your expectation for it?
Dan Hardy: I'm expecting a tricky stand up fight with an exciting knockout finish and my hand raised at the end.
Planet Tatami: What will be your strategy for this fight?
Dan Hardy: It's too early to say at the moment. I need to sit down with my coaches and talk through a gameplan. We will watch some of his fights and see how my skills match up with his and put a strategy together.
Planet Tatami: How many fights do you have in the contract with the UFC?
Dan Hardy: My contract is a four fight deal.
Planet Tatami: Are you training at Xtreme Couture? How is your training there?
Dan Hardy: Yeah, training is going really well here. The training partners and coaches are world class and every session brings a new challenge. I'm getting my ass kicked every day and improving all the time. It's the place to be if you are serious about being successful in the sport.
Planet Tatami: Talk about your beginning in the MMA.
Dan Hardy: I started martial arts when I was six years old but it wasn't until I spent two months in China training with the Shaolin monks back in 2002 that i decided to pursue a career in MMA. I came back and started doing amateur MMA tournaments and then had my professional debut in 2004.
Planet Tatami: You have already lost to Yoshiyuki Yoshida by disqualification. Is there any chance you'll face him again now that you're also in the UFC?
Dan Hardy: That's up to the UFC to decide but if it was offered to me I definitely wouldn't turn it down. It's a loss on my record that shouldn't be there and a chance to get the win that should be there would be great.

ZLATAN IBRAHIMOVIC has not been good enough for Manchester United this season.
That's the opinion former Arsenal and England striker Ian Wright, who gave a damning assessment of the former Paris St-Germain man's form in the Premier League.
Speaking to Shaun Custis on the Sun Football Podcast, which can be listened to here, Wright said: "From the start of the season, the only thing keeping him in the team was the fact that he was scoring those goals.
Keep up to date with ALL the Manchester United news, gossip, transfers and goals on our club page plus fixtures, results and live match commentary
"When you look at him, his all-round play has just not been good enough.
"His movement has not been great, I'm going to be totally honest, I'm not sure too many other teams would have signed him, even on a free.
"You look at the way Man City are playing, the way Chelsea are playing, Liverpool, Arsenal, Spurs, all vibrant, teams with pace and exuberance.
"And you look at Man United, it's slow, and he's got a massive part to play in that.
"I've not seen Ibra play well for 10-15 games, and Man United need it especially the way they are playing."
The Swedish striker is going through his worst ever career run of not scoring in the league, as he failed again to find the back of the net in United's disappointing 0-0 draw at home to Burnley.

He now has failed to score in his last six games, having found the back of the net four times in his first four Premier League games.
Calls are growing Marcus Rashford to be moved into a central striking role, and Wrighty is adamant this needs to happen.
"Why is Marcus Rashford playing on the wing? He's a goalscorer with great movement who finishes. And now he's rotting on the wing!"
Wrighty also spoke of how impressed he was with Manchester City's dismantling of Barcelona on Tuesday night in their 3-1 Champions League victory at the Etihad - and believes Pep Guardiola deserves the credit.
"Not many managers would have come in to Man City and given Sergio Aguero a rocket up his backside.
"But look at him! And look at the rest of the team, they dismantled Barcelona!"

Florida Rural Legal Services
In the past year we were able to obtain many good results for our clients. A partial list of the cumulative benefits obtained are listed below.
In 2014 our firm closed over 5700 cases for low-income families. We also provided free legal information and education on a wide range of topics to more than 11,000 people.
Our client is 74 years old and raising her three great grandchildren. She took out a reverse mortgage and because of health problems she was unable to pay the taxes and insurance and a foreclosure was filed against her. She had several meritorious defenses and we represented her in the foreclosure. We also assisted her in applying for special assistance funds through the Elmore program. Her loan was reinstated and the foreclosure action was dismissed. Her daughter was able to move in with the family and is helping her with expenses and raising the children.
Our clients came to us a month before their home was being sold in a Home Owner Association foreclosure sale. They had an affordable first mortgage and were only behind one month. They had a second mortgage which they could not pay for over a year. The husband had lost his job which caused them to fall behind. The good thing was that by the time they came to us, the husband was back to work. We were able to file a chapter 13 bankruptcy which allowed them to save their home and are now current on their bankruptcy payments and HOA dues.
Two profoundly disabled clients who were receiving assistance through the Medicaid Waiver Program received notices from the Agency for Persons with Disabilities notifying them, that due to budget reduction, they would be losing their assistance which resulted in a loss of services to both clients. The services were vital to their health and safety. We represented both clients and received favorable decisions in both hearings preserving in excess of $18,000 per year for each client and a restoration of all services.
An army veteran applied for his VA pension only to find out that the military had him on record as defaulting on a VA home loan and his VA pension was being withheld until the loan was paid back. Our client never had a VA home loan. We demanded a hearing on the matter, and asked for all records relating to the issue. We were successful in proving that the signature on the loan was not our client's. We were able to get the VA to terminate collections from clients VA benefits. The VA refunded to our client the amount of benefits that were withheld via direct debit; and the debt of $19,801.55 was liquidated from their system.
A single mother with two small children was facing eviction due to termination of her shelter plus subsidy. She suffers from mental illness and had applied for social security disability. Her landlord reported that she was violating the lease, when client was not. The program sent her a termination notice stating her subsidy was terminated which caused the landlord filed an eviction for nonpayment. We advocated on her behalf and her subsidy was reinstated. She was able to move with her children to a new apartment.
A homeless farmworker was referred to us from the homeless shelter. . He needed assistance replacing his documents that had been lost or stolen when he was living in the woods. We learned that he had received his lawful permanent resident card through the Special Agricultural Worker amnesty several years back. We were able to assist him to apply for a new LPR card using the fee waiver to cover the cost of the I-90 application. We requested the card be expedited because he had serious medical issues that required attention. Through direct advocacy with USCIS, we were able to secure a replacement proof of status within 10 days.

John Ratliff — "Dr. John" to his patients — was a throwback to a bygone era.
During his 41 years practicing medicine in Lebanon, he made house calls, he was sometimes paid with country hams or chickens, and, according to Pam Moraja, it was common to see Ratliff sitting in his office with a pipe in his mouth.
When Ratliff, 93, passed away May 30, it was personal for Moraja. Her mother had worked for him for 30 years.
The Marion County Board of Education approved the 2013-14 tentative budget during a special called meeting last week. The $29.3 million budget includes a four percent tax rate increase. But, based on comments from several school board members, that rate increase isn't necessarily going to fly with them this year.
"It just seems like every year we keep increasing and increasing and we keep getting cut and cut and it falls on the taxpayers of Marion County," Board Vice Chairman Ed Hacker said.
In the past month massive tornados have ripped through Oklahoma, and it's been a little over a year since a tornado decimated West Liberty here in Kentucky.
These events serve as reminders of the dangers posed by these storms.
With that in mind, Marion County Emergency Management Director Hayden Johnson shared some tips for being safe before, during and after a tornado from the American Red Cross.
Before the storm
Don Johnson has been working for years to bring world-class musicians to Lebanon, and he'll be doing just that June 8 at St. Augustine Catholic Church.
Friedemann Immer of Germany and John Foster of Australia will be performing with Johnson's group, the Kentucky Baroque Trumpets.
"I don't think anyone would argue with me that Friedemann Immer is the finest baroque trumpeter in the world," Johnson said.
"If you think a minute goes by really fast, you've never been on a treadmill." -Unknown
Unless, that is, your treadmill is on Main Street and Santa Claus is on the treadmill next to you.
That was the scene Friday in front of the Marion County Heritage Center during The Lebanon Enterprise's 2013 Main Street Treadmill Challenge.
At a recent Homeland Security meeting I heard about the "If you see something, say something" campaign. The initiative was created to encourage people to report suspicious activity in their community.
By James Spragens, guest columnist
A Leitchfield man is recovering at University Hospital in Louisville after he was struck with a stray bullet Sunday afternoon in the Calvary area. As of Tuesday morning, Ronnie Gaither, 52, was listed in stable condition.
According to Kentucky State Police Public Affairs Officer Billy Gregory, Gaither was playing volleyball on Bald Knob Road when he was struck with a bullet.
The Lebanon Police Dispatch received a call at 3:45 p.m., June 2, reporting the incident at 75 Bald Knob Road.
Before the rains disrupted the end of the 2013 Main Street Treadmill Challenge, this year's participants logged more than 100 miles in front of the Marion County Heritage Center.
More importantly, they earned more than $2,000 for the Marion County Girls on the Run program (so far).
Look for more on the event in the June 5 print edition.
All parents of Marion County Public School students are eligible to vote for the minority parent representative for the superintendent search screening committee.
The following people are on the ballot:
Eugene Hayden
Beverly Smalley
Dee Dee Bell
Mark Newby
Ballots can be picked up at local schools and at Central Office. Parents are asked to vote for one person. All ballots are due back at Central Office on Monday, June 3.

Yes, You Can Flat-Tow The 2018 Chevy Traverse7
Sponsored Links
Ever since the announcement of the all-new 2018 Chevrolet Traverse weeks ago, our inbox has been filling up with questions about the Bowtie brand's new full-size CUV. One of the more popular ones has been whether or not the vehicle can be flat-towed (otherwise known as dinghy or four-wheels-down towed).
We asked Chevy and the answer is yes — you can indeed flat-tow the 2018 Chevy Traverse.
Flat towing is the more common method of towing a vehicle behind a motorhome, so we're sure that those who have a use for such a scenario will be delighted to hear the news.

Yesterday's post about copy and paste generated some great suggestions in the comments section. I can't tell you how nice it is to have comments once again!
Month: February 2006
Copy and paste
I find myself having to use the following workaround almost once a day. Suppose you're writing an email and want to paste in a snippet of text from another window. You select the text, copy it to the clipboard, and then paste it into the mail window. But there's a problem. The original text was formatted with size, color and whitespace. Your software attempts to preserve this formatting but the end result is jarring: the fonts are too big, or too small, or the whitespace interrupts the flow of your letter. You just want the text but that's not what you're getting. Here's what I do: I open up a plain text editor, such as Notepad on Windows, and paste the text into it first, stripping the formatting. Then I re-select the unformatted text and copy it to the clipboard. It works, but is clunky. Is there no better way?

I'd never been up there, it's quite stunning, especially the view across the bay to San Francisco.

What if the federal government could improve its finances by $25 billion without cutting spending or raising taxes? What if this also boosted the value of fast-growing industries by several times this amount? It's no wonder the budgets proposed by both President Obama and Rep. Paul Ryan include what sounds too good to be true, but is just another miracle of modern technology.
This windfall could come from a new approach to government allocation of airwaves, moving use to the booming mobile and broadband industries from...

The picture that I meant to take of Mandla
These are sad times in South Africa. And though I mostly feel quite distant from the terrible violence against our African neighbours, I have been touched by the tragedy in one, odd way.
For the past two years, a man name Mandla has rung my bell every Monday morning to see if I have any recyclables for him. I first saw him digging through garbage in my neighbourhood during one of my jogs. He was collecting white office paper, so I told him to stop by my house, since I always separate the good white stuff, which fetches a higher price. Ever since, he has made a weekly stop here. And as prices have risen for other commodities, I have given him cartloads of plastic bottles and cans in addition to paper.
I had just decided that it was time to write about Mandla on GreenerHouse. I liked the topic, because I believe that developing this kind of relationship creates meaning out of recycling, spares the collector the indignity and effort of digging through rubbish, and could save homeowners trips to the recycling depot. I had even decided that I would call the post "Meet Mandla." I was going to take his picture and place it on the website.
It was going to be a good week for Mandla, because I had worked on the cleanup crew for my daughter's matric dance and had rescued bins full of PET plastic bottles, aluminium cans and steel (tin) cans. I had them waiting at the gate for him. When Mandla didn't show up last Monday, I didn't think much of it. But now he hasn't rung my bell for two weeks, so I know that last week was not a good week for Mandla. We had never discussed his origin; we mostly talked about the prices of various recyclable commodities. But it now seems clear that he was a Zimbabwean. In my experience, most of the hawkers who collect recyclables on foot are from other African nations.
I hope that Mandla is safe, wherever he is, and that someone is giving him lots of white paper to sell.

Withers chairman Anthony Indaimo is to stand down in July with the firm naming New York-based Ivan Sacks as his successor.
The news comes just days after talks about a potential tie-up between Withers and Speechly Bircham broke down following partner votes at the two firms last week.
Withers partners voted on the merger last Wednesday (22 May) 24 hours after their counterparts at Speechly. Sources said Withers held a three-hour 'pros and cons' session before being asked to vote. At that time they were unaware of the outcome of the vote at Speechly.
It is understood that some Withers partners had proposed that the vote be delayed until Friday (24 May) to allow more time for the proposals to be considered but this was rejected by management.
It is believed that Withers failed to hit the 75 per cent threshold needed for the vote to go through while Speechly partners were in favour of the merger.
At Withers, however, sources said incoming chairman Sacks had been pro-merger and had garnered support from Withers Bergman partners in the US.
Indaimo is standing down after serving two three-year terms, which is the maximum allowed under Withers' partnership agreement.
The firm declined to comment, while Speechly said: "As a partnership, Speechly Bircham stresses consensus above all else and while a majority of partners were in favour of the merger proposal, reservations about certain important details meant that management did not have a clear mandate to continue discussions."
Following news that the merger had collapsed Speechly senior partner Michael Lingens set out plans for "significant team hire" (23 May 2013).
He added: "We intend to open a third office in a major European location this autumn, with a significant team hire. The office will be focused on providing corporate and tax services to a commercial client base in line with the profile of our other offices."
Had the merger gone through it would have created Withers Speechly Bircham, a £170m firm on the cusp of winning a spot in the top 20 of the UK 200 (23 May 2013).

Buffalo man pleads guilty in DWI crash that injured brother-in-law
A Buffalo man with a revoked driver's license pleaded guilty Monday in two drunken driving cases – first for going 94 mph last year on the Kensington Expressway and then this year for crashing into an East Side house and critically injuring his passenger.
Anthony L. Watson Jr., 36, of Lafayette Avenue, pleaded guilty to first-degree vehicular assault and first-degree aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle in connection with the April 12 crash at Newburgh and East Delavan avenues after a police chase.
He admitted that he was driving with a blood-alcohol content of 0.19 percent, more than twice the legal limit of 0.08 percent, when he crashed his pickup truck into the house.
He and his passenger, Walter "Billy" Jackson, were both injured in the horrific crash.
Jackson, 45, suffered massive head injuries and bleeding on the brain and was initially listed in critical condition in the trauma intensive care unit at Erie County Medical Center. He has been moved out of that unit and is listed in fair condition.
Watson was initially held in the jail ward at ECMC for about 10 days before he was transferred to the Erie County Holding Center where he is being held without bail.
The crash occurred after police noticed Watson driving erratically and pulled him over on Genesee Street at Newburgh. When the officers got out of their patrol car, he sped off and struck the house a short time later, police said.
Watson and Jackson, his brother-in-law, were returning from the Seneca Niagara Casino in Niagara Falls when the crash occurred, according to Jackson's family.
In pleading guilty Monday in Erie County Court, Watson also admitted that his driver's license had been revoked following his Nov. 29, 2007 DWI conviction in Amherst Town Court. Authorities said his license had 24 suspensions on it.
Buffalo police had been seeking to arrest Watson for nearly a year on an indictment warrant issued in May 2013 after he was arrested Jan. 1, 2013 for speeding and driving drunk with a revoked license on the Kensington.
He had posted bail in City Court but failed to show up for arraignment four months later after he was indicted in the Kensington case.
Police finally found him behind the wheel of his damaged truck April 12 and discovered that he was wanted on the warrant.
Watson also pleaded guilty Monday in the Kensington case to felony DWI and first-degree aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle.
Assistant District Attorney Christopher M. McCarthy said Watson faces up to four years in prison on the felony DWI and aggravated unlicensed operation charges and up to seven years on the vehicular assault charge when he is sentenced Sept. 2 by Judge Michael F. Pietruszka.

Kluber fans six in five solid innings vs. Reds
GOODYEAR, Ariz. -- Indians ace Corey Kluber continued his march toward Opening Day with five solid innings, but the Reds poured on the runs late to claim a 7-3 Cactus League win on Friday night at Goodyear Ballpark.
Kluber, who in all likelihood will be named Cleveland's Opening Day starter for the third year in a row, allowed two runs on three hits, ending with six strikeouts and two walks. Both runs against the righty came in the first, when Billy Hamilton walked and stole a pair of bases, and Eugenio Suarez and Scott Schebler each chipped in an RBI hit.
"We're at the point now where, obviously you're starting to get your work in," Kluber said, "but you get into that competitive mode of going out and trying to get guys out. I was just trying to work into that mind frame, competing more so than working on stuff. The first inning, I was a little too fine, but I kind of corrected it, so I was able to get through that and make the adjustment."
After Kluber's exit, the Reds enjoyed a five-run seventh inning against Indians bullpen candidate Josh Martin. Within that flurry, Cincinnati bench candidates Desmond Jennings (RBI triple), Hernan Iribarren (sac fly), Ryan Raburn (single) and Patrick Kivlehan (double) all contributed. Chad Wallach (two-run double) and Sebastian Elizalde (RBI double) also came through for the Reds.
Cincinnati lefty Brandon Finnegan -- a candidate to start Opening Day, along with Scott Feldman -- was charged with three runs on six hits in four innings, in which he had five strikeouts and three walks. Indians catcher Yan Gomes collected an RBI double off Finnegan in the first and later scored on a single by Yandy Diaz. Indians outfielder Austin Jackson added an RBI single in the fourth.
• Jackson making case for roster spot
"He was OK. He wasn't great," Reds manager Bryan Price said of Finnegan. "He wasn't real sharp with anything. He gets hurt when he gets behind in the count. The more he works ahead, the more efficient his game went."
Reds Up Next: Bronson Arroyo will make his second Cactus League start when the Reds host the Rangers at 4:05 p.m. ET on Saturday in Goodyear. Arroyo worked two scoreless innings Sunday vs. the Brewers. Also back in the lineup as his catcher will be Devin Mesoraco.
Indians Up Next: Lefty Shawn Morimando, who is likely ticketed for the Triple-A Columbus rotation, is scheduled to start for the Tribe in a 4:05 p.m. ET Cactus League tilt against the Royals on Saturday in Surprise, Ariz. In a 3:05 p.m. ET game against Texas at the Alamodome, right-hander Mike Clevinger will toe the rubber for Cleveland. Watch live on MLB.TV.

MATE desktop probably is the best choice especially for Linux users who can't get used to the mobile-device-centric desktop environment like GNOME Shell or Ubuntu Unity, and want to keep using the classic, simple yet highly customizable, GNOME 2 look and feel instead.
Since its first release in late last year, now MATE has been consider stable enough for everyday use, with its latest release that has reached 1.4 version today.
Below is the screenshot of MATE 1.4 running on top of Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Precise Pangolin, with some customization.

That wasn't so bad after all – 35 min AMRAP
September 7, 2016
"conversation pace" is a great descriptor for me. Used to use this for years when running. How hard was the effort?
- Could you hold a conversation easily?
- Could you talk with single sentences?
- Can you only say a couple of words at a time?
- Can you only speak in monosyllables?
- Can you even breathe?
Of course I went a bit harder than "conversation pace" but only to about 75-80% where I was able to talk in single sentences. Pushing it but not that hard.
Handstand kick ups were interesting – in that a bunch of them turned into handstand holds. That's something I really need to work on, and it was freakin' awesome to feel vertical.
Hit 8 rounds with 30 seconds to spare, and that was with a steady sustained effort. Cool stuff.
35 minutes? It sounded long, but it didn't feel long when I was into it. Then again, I love, love, love long sucky workouts.
Box was doing 800m run/ 60 cal row / 40 T2B / 25 deads @ 275#. Damn, that looked like fun.

For over a decade Exposure and Casio have collaborated to build G-Shock to its global status, championing a brand platform of 'Absolute Toughness'. As the brand and product has evolved, so has our relationship with Casio, with Exposure ideating and executing a multitude of brand campaigns.
25th Anniversary
Exposure helped Casio celebrate 25 years of G-Shock with an exclusive NYC event featuring a performance by Kanye West.
G-Shock x Nigel Sylvester
To promote the launch of a collaborative watch with BMX rider Nigel Sylvester we produced and syndicated the short film '1987'.
The Descent Part I
Commissioned by CASIO G-Shock to launch the GDF-100 watch, 'The Descent' film explores the relationship between man, nature and technology through world-renowned wingsuit pilots Reiner Ebert and Ludo Woerth.
The Descent Part II
Part II took us into the American West as we followed freeride mountain bikers Cam Zink and Kyle Strait in the dust and heat of Utah while showcasing the product's GPS and twin sensor compass features.
Briefed by Casio to create a content around the Gravitymaster Aviator Timepiece concept and design, Exposure responded with a product display high above the desert of New Mexico.
To launch the G-Shock GRAVITYMASTER GPW-1000 we partnered with photographer Klaus Thymann and briefed him to circumnavigate the globe documenting extreme environments in remote locations. See full case study here.
S Series
To properly contextualize G-Shock's fashion-forward feminine line within the market, we activated fashion week partnerships with the designers Nicholas K, Charles Harbison, and Timo Weiland.
Fashion week collaborations with Todd Snyder and Robert Gellar were utilized to build awareness for G-Shock's luxury line within fashion world's inner circle.

Surprisingly, Pakistan's attitude and denial to the entire situation remained the same, so much so that they refused to identify one of their own. A terrorist killed by the BSF was asked to take back to Pakistan when Pakistan refused to do so, saying that the body does not belong to them. Following this, the BSF has filed a formal complaint regarding this with Pakistan.
In the recent turn of events, heavy security has been deployed in the Haeng village in Handwara after rumours of terrorists being holed up there.About 10 ceasefire violations have been reported in the last 72 hours. On an overall, 130 ceasefire violations have been reported in 2013, a record number in the past 8 years.
Villagers close to the line of control are now considering moving out from the village. "Children are scared too," said one of the residents.
Meanehile, the Pakistan High Commissioner to India--Salman Bashir--said, "I believe that DGMOS have been asked to fix the ceasefire and show respect for it. I can say that our side is committed to that decision."
