Chapter 1 SO HERE YOU ARE…….
You are used to spending like a drunken sailor with a fist-full of credit cards. But now, even you see these over-priced designer jeans and expensive electric toys just languishing in the kid's room and gathering dust as extravagant and unnecessary purchases all while the kids play happily with the boxes.
Your credit cards are maxed out or even canceled. Your credit rating is rapidly declining. Your income is decreasing. The bills are piling. What now? You're going to have to face reality and learn to live well on a lot less money. At least until the economy improves. It's not going to be so bad. It can be done and you can do it. All you have to do is have a plan.
I have an aunt who married at 17 went on to raise three great girls and take care of a lovely home with a beautiful garden. She was very happy until she was suddenly widowed at 62. On finding herself short on money and somewhat bored she ended working at a local 7-11. Was she hired because of her extensive resume? I doubt it. She was probably hired because of her sunny smile, friendly disposition, and willingness to be there, dressed appropriately and ready for work at 4 am., six days a week.

Finding what we can where we can
On my drive home tonight I was listening to an episode of ABC Radio's All in the Mind program, an episode called "Placenta Brain: the cognitive burden of pregnancy?". Amid all the talk of whether being pregnant induces cognitive impairment[1], this exchange struck me as relevant from an autistic perspective. Mary Ann Stark: We all use both voluntary and involuntary attention and the involuntary attention - or what we call fascination - is where you can't help but be attracted to a certain stimuli.

Canada, the country I have made my own, is hunting country, teeming with living beings you can eat. But, to eat them, you first have ta kill 'em and that's what this nested group of posts is all about.
I am not a hunter but my friends are and having a writer's natural sense of curiosity in me, I like to sit at the lunch table at work surrounded by hunting chatter and hunting stories.
This is a 10-part amalgamation of a number of hunts that I heard about at that lunch table and I hope you love reading it as much I did, writing it.

|The dictionary defines "LEGACY" as something coming from an ancestor or predecessor. Micah 6:8 states: "He has showed you O man, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act JUSTLY and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God." J
"A year has passed since our family lost Cousin J.L. He was truly special because of his deeply abiding love and devotion to family. J.L. loved and served the Lord daily, and I rejoice that he no longer knows pain or sorrow, and I aspire to join him in praising God one day...a joyful reunion! The Hargrove Family remembers J.L. with great pride; we were blessed to call him cousin."
"Cindy and family, Reading Cindy's heartfelt, accurate description of J. L. Akridge prompted me to share my fondest memory of this special man. After several years, my comatose mom was released from her bondage. J.L., a Hargrove cousin, was among the first to call the funeral home to express his condolences to me and my dad. This comforting gesture is permanently etched in my memory. J.L. and my mom shared a great love of family, love of God and dedication to the field of education. Through ensuing years I have enjoyed Christmas cards and other communications with J.L. and Vada. J.L. is definintely a man to be admired and emulated."
"Cindy, Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful tribute to your father. Since we have shared some genealogy information with one another, I feel as if are closely connected. Your words about your dad rang so close to my heart as I think about my precious mother. Although your father's voice is still it continues to live in your heart just as my mother's is with me always. My love and sympathy for your loss, Anita"

64bit clean install: boot mgr is missing, drives
I am trying to clean install Windows 7 64 bit from previous Vista 32 bit OS.
I have a previously perfect RAID 1 setup that seems to be recognized as C: and a data drive that is shown in disk managment as below, but does not appear in MyComputer nor is assigned a drive letter.
When initially installed I did indicate the correct drive to put Windows as Disk 1, which is the array, but as you can see below, something is not right with Boot and System on different disks?. Boot error came up with:
File : \windows\system32\winload.exe
Status: 0xc0000428
Info: Windows cannot verify the digital signature for this file
Then boots ok from DVD only.
I have tried all the bootrec.exe / to no avail and then formatted the C: drive from Windows System Recovery for another clean install.
My second clean install has the same result. Except when boot now I get the "BootMgr is missing" error and then can only boot from DVD.
Please help.
|My System Specs
|24 Oct 2009
unplug disk 0 and reformat/reinstall Windows. It will have to put the boot files on the array.
then from then on all you need to do is make sure the array is the first boot device in the BIOS.

"John said they were excellent."
Review for Cadillac Of South Charlotte Body Shop
Thomas G. on 06/27/2012
Thomas said he wasn't told when the vehicle would be ready, but it took too long. He said they only had to replace a window, but it took them a week. He was told it took so long because the window had to be delivered. He said he won't dissuade people from going to this business, but he won't recommend them because the work took too long and they did not keep him informed. He had to initiate all calls to this business and on four occasions when he asked to speak with someone about the status of his vehicle a secretary answered the phone and switched him to voicemail. No one returned his calls. He said the personnel were very nice.

August 7th, 2013 was the premier of the DVD 'The Story Behind the Roads'. This tells the history of the street names of Tilbury town featuring voice overs from June Brown, Peter Hewitt MBE , Les Morgan, Sue Yates, Jack Doodes, Shirley Doodes, George and Shelia Ridges and Project manager Annie O'Brien.
The memories room was open for browsing, refreshments and the chance to play the game of TILOPOLY. The new Tilbury and Chadwell calendar was on sale. There were free copies of the A-Z of Tilbury Street names.
Any questions: ring Annie 01375-859911
Hi could you please tell me where we can get the tilbury and chadwell calendar from?
I believe that you can get them from Annie at the TRAAC. Contact her first though, because she is not there every day. I suspect that they will be available at the event on October 11th as well.
you can also get them from Tilbury Library during normal opening hours.
[Note: This comment (and a number of others) was not published at the time it was submitted. Our apologies to everyone for the mistake. I don't know whether there are any copies of the video left.

Hi, can anyone tell me where Park View Avenue used to be in Tilbury. My father was born at number 11 but it is not on modern maps.
Hi I have lived in Tilbury all my life never heard of Park View but there still is still Parker Ave. and Parkside
Park View Avenue was what is now North View Avenue.
Thanks for that Lea, when did it change the name.
Afraid I don't know. Have a book of my nan's (who lived in the street all her life) with her address in the front and she dated it 1927, so after then. I've seen a map of 1952 where it is North View, so some time between.
very enjoyable film
i have got the calendar, a to z book and dvd and i have found them to be really interesting. Hope other items become available. Thankyou they have brought me many memories. How about a book made up of the photos you have got on this webpage.
A good idea! I will keep it in mind.
Very interesting production and good for younger generations and newer Tilbury residents. do you think BBC might be interested in using it for a programme about Tilbury and how it has changed over the years?
Very good film but where is the pictures of the bridge over the riverside station. I have not seen any pictures of it yet. So if anybody has got any can they put them on the site. As I lived in Tilbury from 1947 up till 1958 when we moved to Chelmsford.

Every Man's Blueprint for a Happier, Healthier, and More Fulfilling Life
When Andrew Snyder felt restless nine years ago, he uprooted his life and moved to a remote Alaskan village. It was a radical lifestyle shift, but he yearned for a challenge.
He worked as a wilderness guide to make money and meet new people. But, he couldn't have predicted the profound affects these experiences would have on him…
They tested his physical strength and mental stamina in new and exhilarating ways. In fact, he still receives an annual Christmas card from one couple he ushered to safety during a haunting journey across icy Alaskan water in hurricane-force winds. And, that's just one fascinating story he shared with me during our interview.
He recounts dozens of others in his new lifestyle publication called Manward Press. The weekly issues are jam-packed with practical tips, wisdom, and simple advice every man can apply to live a more rewarding and prosperous life. And in my exclusive interview with Andrew, he also reveals the three essential attributes of happy, wealthy men.

"For The Love of Africa"
Saddle-billed storks are the largest of the African storks. The saddle-billed stork is between 5 and 6 feet tall. Their wing span is up to 9 feet. They can weigh up to 20 pounds. A spectacularly plumaged saddle-billed stork's head, neck, back, wings, and tail are iridescent black. The rest of the body and primary flight feathers are white. The massive bill is red with a black band and a yellow frontal shield (the "saddle"). These Storks are silent since they do not have any muscles in their voice box. They rattle their bills to make noise and communicate. Like most storks, these fly with the neck outstretched, not retracted like a heron; in flight, the large heavy bill is kept drooping somewhat below belly height, giving these birds a very unusual appearance.Saddle-billed storks live in tropical areas of Africa and are found in a range of habitats including marshes, rivers, lakes and areas of wet grasslands. They prefer wide open spaces and avoid forested areas. The saddle-billed stork eats grasshoppers, frogs, fish, crabs, mollusks, lizards, and young birds.

Prolific Interactive
Prolific Interactive is a mobile-focused digital product agency, with a culture built around small teams, partnerships, and learning. In mid-2015, I spearheaded a brand refresh to better reflect the spirit and energy of the company.
The project began by laying down core values and fleshing out a visual language and brand voice. We introduced a more vibrant Prolific blue and a new set of typography to strike a fresh, honest, bold — yet friendly — tone.
We chose Founders Grotesk for our display type, Graphik for body copy, and a family of cool greys and secondary accents to supplement the palette.
What Prolific values most is its people — it's what makes it all come together. The new website highlights the individuals behind the work and the ideas. We developed a system for team portraits with a set of dynamic gradients (implemented in CSS) and treatments for avatar, thumbnails, and full-body shots.
We crafted our case studies to richly showcase our projects with as little as possible. I directed the language, imagery, and rhythm of the page to tell the story.
A brand is a living thing. The ongoing project continues today with refinements in voice and tone; development of internal templates and systems to support business development, research documentation, wireframing, etc; and formation of a brand team to support it all.

Kommunisten Trailer (2014)
15 August 2014 70 mins
Jean-Marie Straub pushes this musicality of blocks to a paroxysmal extreme, mixing blocks of time (40 years separate the various extracts that are going to be used, and what is to be filmed), blocks of text (Malraux, Fortini, Vittorini, Hölderlin) and blocks of language (French, Italian, German), and from this ruckus emerges the history of the world, yes, History with a capital H, and from the same movement, the political hope of its being overtaken. So this is an adventure film, about the Human adventure, still one that is always, in the end, overtaken by Nature. (Arnaud Dommerc)

� Built just prior to prohibition by a Superior, Wisconsin brewer, this Cabin is part of a 65 acre estate. One of the first cabins built on Upper Eau Claire Lake; it sits in front of some of the best fishing in the area. Upper Eau Claire Lake is considered one of the premier lakes in the region and renowned as one of the top three most desirable lakes along with Lake Owen and Namekagon. Upper Eau Claire connects to four other lakes via small navigable channels and is over 1000 acres large and 90 feet deep. Local lore tells of the original owner falling on hard times due to prohibition and the Estate being used as both a luxury �speak easy� and the transshipment point for smuggled Canadian whiskey to Chicago gangsters. The second owner was a prosperous ship yard owner from Superior Wisconsin and much of the improvements and development was achieved by him to �industrial� standards. The rental cabin is known as the Gatehouse and was originally occupied by the caretakers and as legend has it, the security men allowing passage into the estate during prohibition. The cabin has 2 bedrooms (sleeps 4), one bath, kitchen and living room. It comes with a 16 foot Alumni Craft boat with

LAFAYETTE, La. (KLFY) – Executive Chef Peter Sclafani stopped by the Passe Partout kitchen this morning to cook Crab & Brie Bisque.
Here's the full recipe:

For three days this week, I had the chance to play tourist in my own town. I was a chaperone at the National Catholic Youth Conference that took place in downtown Indianapolis. Our group stayed in the J.W. Marriott. The general conference sessions took place at Lucas Oil Stadium. The rest of the conference was conducted at the Indiana Convention Center.
It was the first time I'd gotten to see the state capital through the eyes of a convention-goer. Here is what I saw:
- The downtown walkways are terrific. Our group went from the J.W. Marriott to the Convention Center to both the Hyatt and Circle Center Mall without ever having to go outside. That's pretty handy when the weather is cold or rainy or when you are trying to keep track of two dozen teenagers.
- Lucas Oil Stadium is good for more than football.� Our group of 23,000+ enjoyed musical performances, inspirational speakers and even Catholic Mass, which all happened center floor and was broadcast on the big screens to make sure everyone had a front-row view.
- The Indiana Convention Center is a beast! I didn't really have an appreciation for the size and capacity of the building until I spent the better part of three days inside. For this conference, the space was used for everything from a quiet chapel to a dance party, traditional workshops and a "park" set up with hands-on art activities, bounce houses, a coffee house and exhibitor space.
- Circle Center Mall is a great escape. Need a break from sessions? Looking for a lunch spot? Have to buy a new pair of shoes because the ones you packed were not a good choice for lots of walking? Circle Center Mall is the perfect answer to all of the above.
- Hoosier hospitality is alive and well.� Twenty thousand teenagers can make anyone a little grumpy from time to time, but most everyone we encountered was cheerful, helpful and offered service with a smile.
As someone who is from Indianapolis, I was proud of the way the city showed itself to our guests this weekend, myself included.

It's not easy to maintain a healthy lifestyle with your aunt begging you to try the double chocolate fudge peanut butter cookies she brought for this year's holiday feast. "I'm watching what I eat," or "I'm on a diet," often prompts eye rolls, and exclamations of, "It won't kill you! Just a bite!"
Pressure aside, it's hard to watch friends and loved ones consume tasty concoctions and endless wine while nesting on the couch, without being swayed to the "dark side."
Here are a few realistic tips for staying healthy, and eating and living with intention during the holiday season.
1) Bring your own. There's an abundance of healthy holiday cookies and dishes you can bring to a potluck or party this year. If you bring your own, you can guarantee at least one healthy item will be on the table. Plus, people will appreciate healthier choices amongst the heavier food more typical at holiday gatherings.
2) Prepare your stomach. You never want to approach a holiday party or meal on an empty stomach. Always eat a solid snack with plenty of protein, like a handful of nuts, or peanut butter and celery, before going to an outing. It will keep you full enough to use your reason and refrain from diving for the eggnog and sugar cookies.
3) Indulge. A little. Don't deprive yourself of your favorite treats completely. Snack slowly on one or two cookies, and enjoy a glass of red wine (one of the healthiest alcoholic drinks you can opt for). If you indulge a little, you'll satisfy your sweet tooth. Refusing to eat anything unhealthy over the holidays could result in a secret midnight session with the cookie tray.
4) Move it! We know the holidays are a time to relax and hang out with loved ones, but you'll feel awful if you don't find some way to incorporate movement into your holiday plans. Go for a walk as a group, or play an active game with the kids – physical activity makes for great quality time!
5) Be careful what you drink. Seasonal drinks are loaded in calories – and alcoholic ones can tear apart any plans you had for eating mindfully. We're more likely to consume unnecessary calories while drinking, so limit it to 1-2 drinks a night. Icing on the cake: the less you have to drink, the less likely you are to embarrass yourself. Don't be that relative.
It's hard to stay healthy during the holidays. It's a time of celebration and adventure after all – who wants to spend that time counting calories? But it's not likely you'll enjoy the wonder of the season if you're feeling bloated, loaded, and weighed down by plates of turkey and mugs of mulled wine. Celebrate the season with cheer and your most ugly Christmas sweater, but don't forget to take care of yourself in the process. With these five tips in mind, you can have fun, avoid the nickname "wet blanket," eat mindfully, and start the New Year on a positive note.

Playing outside is a great way to help your kids have fun and stay fit. There are many benefits to outdoor play, including exercise, socialization and strengthening muscles. Have your kids enjoy the fall weather and unplug indoor games and TV and send them outside for some fun and a little fitness. Here are a few outdoor games the whole family will enjoy!
1. Bean Bag Toss or cornhole is a perfect outdoor game that the whole family can enjoy. It takes a balance of luck and skill to get the hang of, but once you get the form down it's everyones favorite game. The game is played with two sets of wooden boards set 27 feet apart (or closer if you are playing with younger children). There are dozens of beanbag toss games available made for all ages and skill levels.
2. Outdoor Chess with a giant chess set with spaces big enough to stand in, chess teaches kids motor skills, strategy, creativity and how to play by the rules. This game is played on a life-size black-and-white checkerboard with large resin chess pieces. Each player moves the one- to two-foot-tall pieces in this classic strategy board game. Each piece has a specific rule for how it can be moved. The game is over when the opponent's king becomes trapped on the board, known as a checkmate. Outdoor chess can be played by two players or by several kids divided into two teams. KETTLER giant chess sets are made of resin is about ten feet square and can be weighted down with gravel if needed.
3. Table Tennis is a great way to create a little friendly competition. Two or four players are needed for a game. Table tennis tables can be designed for indoor or outdoor use. Models with a true play-back feature can be set up for children to practice or play by themselves. Table tennis is a popular after-school activity for a range of ages.
4. Bocce is a classic outdoor game, it can be played in the grass or even on the beach. Standard bocce balls weigh about 2 pounds, which can be heavy for younger kids. Some variations of bocce are available with more kid-friendly with lighter weight balls and plastic rings. Bocce is a fun challenge for all ages and a simple outdoor game to get the hang of.
5. Hide and Seek can be enjoyed indoors and out, with two or more players. It can even be played with Mom, Dad or the babysitter. One person, often designated as "It," closes their eyes and counts to 20 while the others hide within the boundaries. After announcing "Ready or not, here I come," It looks for all of the other players. The first one who is found becomes It in the next round. There are many variations on the game, and the rules should be agreed upon before it begins.

The lifestyle habits learned and developed during childhood often become lifelong habits. This is why instilling healthy habits and safe behavior for your little ones from an early age is so important. The sooner you begin reminding them of what is healthy and safe in their everyday routine, they will naturally recognize right from wrong, safe from unsafe, and healthy from unhealthy. You teach them these lessons and trust them to make the right choices when playing with friends and when they are at school.
Staying Healthy
- Brush your teeth at least twice a day, and floss at least once.
- Make healthy food choices. Have a fruit or vegetable with every meal and choose healthy snack options.
- Wash your hands or use hand sanitizer before and after every meal, after using the restroom, after recess, and more often when you are sick or getting a cold.
- Drink plenty of liquids. Stay hydrated with water throughout the day especially when playing.
- Get active. At least 30 minutes of exercise and fresh air every day.
Playing Safe
- Look both ways before crossing the street, or crossing in front of a driveway.
- Use all playground equipment as it was meant to be played on. No going up the slides or standing on the swings.
- When riding a bike always wear safety gear and a properly fitted helmet.
- Wear sneakers for recess and outdoor playtime.
- Dress appropriately for the playground. Remove necklaces, purses, scarves or clothing with drawstrings that can get caught on equipment and pose a strangulation hazard.
- No pushing, crowding or shoving.
Limit the time playing video games and watching TV each day.
Elementary age children are at an extremely important age mentally, emotionally and physically. Giving them these helpful reminders will ensure they are learning and growing into smart and healthy adolescents.

It's no secret that active people live healthier - and often longer - lives. Since you want your loved ones to not only stick around for as long as possible, but enjoy and make the most of their lives, active gifts are the ultimate way to show you care.
There's an active present appropriate for everyone on your list. Just make sure the gift matches up to their interests and fitness level. An avid runner might love a new pair of sneakers, while someone just getting into fitness might be interested in a step-monitoring device to help them on the journey toward better health.
From improving wellness, to encouraging fun and adventure, here are a few reasons why you should consider active gifts for your loved ones this season.
1) They're fun. Kids love anything that gets them moving, and adults savor the chance to let loose, play, and relax. No need to wait – active gifts are often the first ones put to use on Christmas morning, with outdoor walks and adventures frequently part of holiday family traditions. Table tennis sets, and bikes, scooters, and other toys all make great active gifts.
2) Active presents send an inspiring message. Regular physical activity can significantly reduce the risk of heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, osteoporosis, and even cancer in your loved ones. Encourage them to improve their lives with functional and fun presents that can make a momentous difference in their wellbeing.
3) Movement makes happiness. Exercise helps us process and handle stress more effectively. Regular movement puts things in perspective, and helps people see the world in a larger scope. Setting and achieving fitness goals creates a confidence that transfers over to many others areas of life – from school, to work, to personal relationships. Give a gift that will guarantee greater life satisfaction.
4) Activities make memories. Items that involve activities are the best presents, because they give something that's hard to lose or top – memories. Active gifts give families and friends ways to bond, explore, and grow together in good health.
5) They're unique. It's easy to forget who gave you a mug or a gift card, but you'll always remember who gave you a fitness gadget or toy you use at least once a week.
From outdoor games to exercise equipment, help your friends and family reach their optimum levels of health and happiness this holiday season with gifts from KETTLER USA that incite adventure, inspire growth, and foster confidence. It's no contest: active gifts are the best!

Thanks For The Nightmares, Riot
The old "Lollipoppy" skin was, hands-down, the creepiest thing that Riot ever made for League of Legends. The new enhanced version of Lollipoppy that launched yesterday with the champion's massive overhaul carries on that fine tradition of haunting your dreams.
The new and (hopefully improved) Poppy is finally live in League of Legends. Now let the click-racing of champion select commence!
Here's an interesting League of Legends statistic: Riot's lead social systems designer Jeffrey "Lyte" Lin told Polygon in a story posted today that games that had a "role conflict or a position conflict in champion select" were 15% more toxic "no matter what happened in the game itself." Glad they're addressing that!
Riot Delays League Of Legends Statue Because Fans Hate Its Face
Three days after unveiling a sizable new figurine based on the popular League of Legends character, Riot Games decided to cancel the statue's release in the face of strong criticism from fans.

Out with the old, in with the new. Riot's released a champion spotlight for Poppy 2.0, the long-awaited rework of one of League of Legends' oldest and most outdated playable characters. She looks really neat! This probably means she's coming into the main game in the next week or two, too.
Quinn's New Bird Form In League Of Legends Looks Kinda Silly

This unit was a little confusing. I felt like they could have done a better job describing direct speech versus indirect and reported. there than that I think it was fine and pretty simple in the beginning. I have never heard of reported speech before so that was completely new to me and I think I could use a little more practice on this unit.

Super Rugby
Brumbies props fined for bar brawl
ESPNscrum Staff
September 23, 2013
Brumbies props Ruan Smith and Jean-Pierre Smith have been fined and forced to undergo counselling after being involved in a bar brawl in Canberra.
The brawl erupted at The Duxton Hotel on August 17, where the South African-born twins were watching The Rugby Championship Tests before heading to a private function. Police were called about midnight, but the crowd had dispersed by the time they arrived. No charges were laid and no one was seriously injured.
''We conducted an investigation of the incident, including all relevant parties … and following that there was a disciplinary hearing and the players have been found in breach of our code of conduct and a range of penalties were put in place," Brumbies chief executive Andrew Fagan told Fairfax Media
''The penalties were quite broad and they included fines, some additional community work that the players will be required to partake in and some ongoing education around their personal management that will run over the course of the next 12 months.''
Fagan said the twins had "expressed significant remorse … they found themselves in an environment where they shouldn't have [been] and didn't 'handle themselves well".

What to Look for When Hiring House Siding Installers in the Austin, TX, Area
If you're looking for house siding installers in the Austin, Texas, area, it's important to conduct some thorough research beforehand. Since siding isn't an everyday investment, you'll want to partner with an experienced company that will fully explain the options available to you, as well as execute their work to the highest level possible. Below are some questions you'll want to ask before hiring a siding contractor to work on your home.
How much experience do they have?
When it comes to proper siding installation, experience is key. Make sure the house siding installers you choose have worked extensively in the construction industry and possesses the expertise and background knowledge to recommend the siding that will best meet your needs. Having a good amount of prior experience in the construction industry also increases the likelihood that your siding contractor will be able to perform your installation flawlessly and precisely. They'll be able to take care of any issues that may arise during your project while making sure the structure of your home in the Austin, TX, area is never compromised.
What kind of work have they done in the past?
Ask your potential house siding installers to see work they've done in the past to ensure that their quality of workmanship is strong. If they can't provide you with examples it's a big red flag. Either they don't have a lot of experience or they're not proud of the final results of their work. Another way to gauge the quality of their past work is to go on websites such as Better Business Bureau, Angie's List, or GuildQuality to read customer reviews.
What is the warranty on their work?
When purchasing siding for your home, you'll want to ensure that your investment is protected. Make sure you're fully aware of the warranty on your siding company's work and that you're comfortable with it before proceeding.
To learn more about hiring house siding installers to work on your home in the Austin, TX, area, contact ASAP Windows & Siding today. We boast years of experience in the industry and maintain an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau.

The place for bonds in your portfolio
January 2016
min read
Any investment text will tell you that bonds are an essential asset class in a balanced portfolio. Bonds add negatively correlated diversity and reduce the volatility of the returns generated by the portfolio, or so the theory goes.
There is theory and then there is practice, and practice will not always produce the results predicted by theory. Moreover, from a traditional portfolio construction perspective, investors have quite a bit of discretion over how far their practice diverges from theory.
A simple explanation of what is meant by this: theory considers a portfolio invested in just two asset classes. Investors can hold risky equities (company shares) and risk-free assets (government bonds, but only risk-free if denominated in the currency of the country concerned).
Not surprisingly, the characteristics of the assets in this portfolio are consistent with the characteristics of such assets found in the American market. The shares will pay little or no dividends and will be held for expected capital growth, and the bonds will pay regular fixed-rate coupons.
Thus the shares will allow the capital value of the portfolio to grow, while the bonds will generate income to meet an investor's recurrent expenditure or other income needs. This is good while economic conditions remain stable.
In addition, bonds can provide a portfolio with a cushion or buffer when economic conditions are not stable. The capital value of bonds that pay a fixed coupon will move up and down as market interest rates change.
If economic growth is strong, it could well be inflationary and the central bank will raise market interest rates to curb economic growth and offset inflationary risks. If market interest rates rise, then the capital value of a fixed-coupon bond will fall because the value of the fixed coupon paid is below current market expectations.
Thus, in a strongly growing economy the value of the shares held in the portfolio should increase, but the capital value of the bonds in the portfolio will offset this to the extent that the capital value falls.
Consider the long term
In this situation, it is tempting to consider not holding bonds. But in a long-term investment portfolio, as all portfolios should be, the value of bonds as something more than a source of income becomes apparent when the economy turns down.
In a downturn, the central bank will cut interest rates to stimulate economic growth. Share prices will be falling but the capital value of the bonds will increase as market interest rates fall below the value of the coupon paid.
Thus, an appropriate allocation to bonds can maximise returns while minimising the overall risk of the portfolio. The trick is to work out the appropriate proportional allocations to shares and bonds.
Leaving aside proportional asset allocation, retail investors in Australia can put theory into practice. They can construct a portfolio that contains shares listed on ASX, and to the extent that Australian companies tend to pay larger dividends than US companies, so much the better, the shares should not exhibit the same price volatility.
Australian investors can also add fixed-coupon, Australian government bonds (the risk-free assets) to their portfolios, as these too are listed on ASX. They will have the same performance characteristics expected in the theoretical investment portfolio.
However, in the post-GFC world of historically low interest rates, government bond yields do not look very attractive, ranging at the time of writing from zero to 3.57 per cent per annum for bonds with terms to maturity ranging from 2016 to 2037.
To boost returns, retail investors can look at bonds issued by Australian companies that are listed on ASX. But that will introduce two forms of risk not yet considered: interest rate risk and credit risk.
Virtually all debt securities listed on ASX pay floating-rate coupons rather than fixed-rate. This is a key difference because the cushioning effect of changes in the capital value of bonds, as market interest rates move up and down, is lost. (The term debt securities is used rather than bonds for the riskier debt issued by companies. This is simply to differentiate from government bonds.)
Floating-rate coupons move up and down with market rates and capital value will remain stable, all else being equal. Thus, when rates rise investors can expect to earn more income, but less when rates fall. Just like with bank term deposits.
Company credit risk
The lower the credit quality of the company issuing the debt securities, the higher the coupon rate that should be paid at issue, to compensate for the inherent credit risk.
Greater compensation will be demanded by the market if an issuer's credit quality declines while its debt securities remain outstanding; the capital value of the securities can be expected to fall – just as a company's shares will fall if its earnings outlook deteriorates.
The key difference, though, is where you rank in the capital structure of the company, which will determine the expected loss on your investment should the issuer default.
If the issuer defaults and is eventually wound up, shareholders can expect to be wiped out but the holders of senior-ranking debt may be repaid in full. Holders of subordinated debt and deeply subordinated hybrid notes may suffer varying degrees of capital loss.
The further down an investor ranks in the capital structure, the more equity-like their investment becomes and the portfolio benefits of holding bonds/debt securities will be steadily eroded.
Furthermore, as a debt security moves closer to equity, more equity-like characteristics will emerge, such as the flexibility to suspend coupon payments. These may be cumulative and eventually paid, or non-cumulative and simply lost.
Performance indices
We can look at credit risks through the performance of ASX-listed debt securities indices compiled by Australia Ratings. They are accumulation indices and therefore take into account income from coupons paid, as well as changes in the capital value of the debt securities.
The indices have been compiled from the end of February this year, with a base of 100. At the end of October, the value of the hybrid debt securities index had fallen to 95.47, a total negative return to investors of more than 4.5 per cent over the period.
The subordinated debt securities index stood at 100.56, after having moved below 100 in September. Investors have earned very little over the period. However, senior debt securities have had a positive return of 4.94 per cent as their index rose to 104.94.
Thus, as risk aversion increased over the year, returns to debt securities investors varied accordingly.
Compare this to returns to shareholders over the same period. The S&P/ASX 200 index stood at 5929 points at the end of February and finished October at 5239 points, a loss of 11.6 per cent excluding dividends.
Returns to debt securities have varied with changes in the credit quality of individual companies – Crown Resorts, Origin Energy and Woolworths come to mind – an overall increase in risk aversion over the period hit securities lower in a company's capital structure the hardest.
Under the ASX debt and hybrid research scheme, Australia Ratings has been engaged to rate listed debt securities. These ratings combine two very useful assessments for investors.
The first component of a rating is an assessment of the credit risk of the issuer and takes the traditional form of a credit rating ranging from AAA, in the case of the Commonwealth Government, to BB for issuers of intermediate risk.
The second component is a Product Complexity Indicator (PCI), which is colour coded to reflect where a debt security ranks in the capital structure of an issuer and the complexity of the terms and conditions that come with that.
A full list of the credit ratings and PCIs assigned by Australia Ratings to ASX-listed debt securities can be found at www.australiaratings.com.au

Click here for the Calderdale Hike website
Date: Saturday 1 April 2017
Distance: 37 miles (Medium)
Ascent: 6600ft/2000m approx
2016 winning time: 5:36
This classic Yorkshire Pennines trail event always attracts a lot of Runfurther runners. It starts at Sowerby in the Calder Valley, taking a big loop around Calderdale, with a new route every three years. There was a new route for 2015, and it takes in the hills and reservoirs to the south, visiting Windy Hill, Blackstone Edge, then heading west towards Bacup. After Slate Pit Hill the route loops north round to Cross Stone, then crosses the main valley to Mankinholes. This is really good running: it's a great area with a lot of varied moorland and valley scenery. The route is defined only by the checkpoints, and you must devise your own route between them. Many runners lost time routefinding in 2015, but more knew where to go last year!

Fall 2016 Week 6 Update
yellow-bellied sapsucker
Week 6 – October 11th – 17th
This week our volunteers found 18 birds, from a total of 12 species (table 1). We also found our first white-breasted nuthatch of the season on October 11th. A strong front passed through the area over the weekend bringing an increase in bird movement and migration. We saw this at the beginning of the work week as bird strikes were higher from Monday to Wednesday (table 2). As the system moved towards the coast bird movement slowed along with window strikes through the rest of the work week and weekend. This followed Cornell Lab of Ornithology BirdCast forecast and analysis for this week. This week we had bird strikes all over the city in many of our routes (table 3). Route 7 had the largest number of strikes again but overall strikes were found in many locations throughout the city. We also had only 1 live bird (see the tennessee warbler below) this week which is unusual given the past few weeks we have had closer to 50% live, 50% dead (table 4).
Birdcast forecasts that next week we should see a slow in bird movement and strikes at the start of the work week. As southern winds dominate the region Monday and Tuesday bird movement will slow until Tuesday night when a large mass of cooler air should increase bird movement. Patterns of precipitation will pass through the area for the rest of the week which could slow movement or bring some unexpected species our way so be sure to keep a watch out for next weeks update to see what we find.
Table 1.) The total species and number of individuals collected between 10/11-10/17
Nashville warbler
Table 2.) Total strikes per day between 10/11-10/17
white-throated sparrow
Table 3.) number of birds found in each route between 10/11-10/17
Tennessee warbler
Table 4.) number of dead vs stunned birds found between 10/11-10/17
Keep an eye on our website and our Facebook page for continued updates throughout the fall season. For information on how to get involved or volunteer, email firstname.lastname@example.com for more info. Make sure to follow us on Instagram (@birdsafepgh) and Twitter (@birdsafePGH) as well!
Dead birds are taken to the Carnegie Museum of Natural History and become specimens in the Section of Birds.
Live birds are transported to the Animal Rescue League's Wildlife Center for rehabilitation and release.

France From The Inside
France From The Inside: Driving in France
by, 03-11-2016 at 05:42 AM (329 Views)
During a vacation in France, driving a car can be useful to get out of the beaten path. Some knowledge of the driving rules will make the trip easier.
While there are many mass transportation options in France such as trains and buses, driving is often the only way to get to smaller more remote areas. Its also a great way to travel on your own schedule.
France has many scenic routes from tiny Departementales to the larger Autoroutes. To have the best possible experience here are some tips and rules.
Speed Limit
The speed limit in most towns in 50km/h (31mph), once through the towns name sign (a white rectangle with a red border) it should be followed unless posted otherwise.
Off cities in the departementales and nationales roads the speed limit is 90 km/h unless otherwise marked.
Most four lane highways are 110 km/h (68mph) in dry conditions, 110km/h (62mph)when wet.
Toll highways called autoroutes à péage have a 130 km/h (81mph) speed limit in dry conditions and 110km/h (68mph) when wet. The fee is according to the distance traveled. A ticket has to be picked up at the entrance booth and an autoroute agent at the exit booth charges the driver.
Law Enforcement
In large cities the law is enforced by the Police, everywhere else in France the Gendarmerie takes over. Its a branch of the military and they drive dark blue cars with a blue light on top. While they can cruise highways like in the US, their technique is mainly to set up radar devices to catch people speeding.
There are also set large radars that have been installed by law enforcement in the past few years, those usually come with a warning sign ahead.
It is not uncommon for drivers to warn others by flashing their lights on the road when they know there are either cops or radars ahead.
Other Driving Tips
Drive on the right side of the road.
Never pass from the right, not only is it illegal but strictly enforced, the left lane is a passing lane and not a fast lane.
The alcohol limit is 0, 5 gram of alcohol per liter of blood (0, 25 mg per liter of breathed out air).
Drivers with a round white sticker with a red A in the middle are young drivers who have had their license for less than two years and have to follow lower speed limits. Other drivers to watch out for are all cars with an Auto Ecole sign, those are driving schools cars.
Dont talk on a cell phone, its illegal.
Children under age ten should seat in the back.
Seatbelts must be worn at all times.
Turning right on red is strictly forbidden.
Road Signs and Road Surface Marking
All white round road signs with a red border signal something forbidden.
All blue round signs signal something mandatory.
The road paint is white except for work zone where its orange.
There are no double lines; one single straight line is the equivalent of the American double line.

The Ideal Places to Find Single Russian Women
Even though I think that online dating is a pretty good and convenient way to meet single Russian women, there are some other ways you may want to consider.
The ideal way to meet single Russian women is to go to Russia and spend some time there. It is always better to see women in person instead of online. You will not have to ask yourself a question if the woman you are talking to is real, because you will be able to actually see her and talk to her. When you are trying to meet someone online, especially if you are using free dating sites, there is a chance you might be corresponding with a group of scammers, who stole pictures of Russian celebrities and are pretending to be " madly falling in love" with you.
It is pretty easy to get acquainted with women in Russia. The sexual harassment legislation does not exist in Russia. Of course, Russian women don't want to be harassed, but their definition of harassment is different. Russian women appreciate men's attention and it is pretty common for Russian men to compliment good-looking women often (whether they are their co-workers, friends, relatives or just strangers). If guys don't give a woman enough attention, she might think that she is not looking good anymore or that there is something wrong with her.
Since going to Russia could be costly, consider looking for single Russian women in the United States. There are so many young single Russian women coming to the United States for the summer. They usually come as exchange students, they work for 4 months, learn English and American culture. These girls are usually concentrated in places like Ocean City, NJ, where there is a lot of seasonal work available. Many of them have no intentions to stay, but who knows, if they meet you, they might change their minds. We know a few Russian girls who did this. They are happy wives of very happy American husbands.;-)
If you decided to go with an agency, go with the ones who have a good reputation. I think that one of the best ones these days is Elena's Models. The agency takes its job seriously-they make sure the girls who post their profiles are real, so there is a very low (close to zero) chance that you will be scammed. They have a huge database and they update it pretty regularly. You don't have to pay anything to post your profile on their site, so you can basically try it for free. If you like it, then you can buy the membership, which I think is pretty reasonable.
