Our investment philosophy and portfolio management process are anchored by three foundational tenets – Discipline, Tax-Efficiency, and Cost Control. Experience tells us that we cannot control the daily movements of the market, but we can control these three tenets and, by doing so, strive to have a positive impact on your portfolio. With each investment change we contemplate, we ask ourselves: How will this decision impact our investment philosophy, and are we staying true to our foundational tenets?
We welcome you to our blog on Tax Efficiency, the third of a three-part series in which we expand on our investment philosophy and its relevance to you. See our prior weeks' blogs on Cost Control and Discipline.
Understanding Tax Efficiency and Liability
What does "Tax Efficient" mean? It simply refers to the attempt to minimize tax liability when making decisions about the portfolio. It is quite common for individuals to spend time thinking about what they own in their portfolio, focusing mainly on the risk and return of each holding and the changing price of each. What many do not consider is, even though prices may rise, the growth does not belong entirely to the account owner. How can this be? Well, it's often the case that in our great country, we face the requirement to pay taxes, and Uncle Sam stands ready to take his cut when money is made in the portfolio. It is entirely possible that a portfolio could be well-structured from an investment perspective, but completely miss the mark by not minimizing taxes. Minimizing taxes sounds good, right? So how do we go about achieving this efficiency?
Our Tax Efficient Process
There are two main ways that our team strives to reduce taxes owed. First, our professionals use a method widely known as "asset location" to save on taxes. Asset location means that we will look across various accounts to find which one is best suited to hold each type of investment. An example illustrates this idea: If we decide that 20% of a portfolio should be in bonds, and our client has three different accounts (a taxable account, a traditional IRA, and a Roth IRA) should each of the three accounts hold 20% of bonds? In our opinion, no. Generally, because many bonds pay out ordinary income which is often taxed at a higher rate than long term capital gains, we would likely place those bonds in a traditional IRA where our client would have a tax shield for the interest income received. We would prefer to concentrate those bonds in the traditional IRA only and likely own no bonds whatsoever in the Roth IRA nor the taxable account. This gets tricky to monitor as owning 20% of the portfolio in bonds means that more than 20% of the traditional IRA will be in bonds to achieve the whole portfolio's target. We could set up a similar example using stocks rather than bonds, but sticking with this example, it's clear that stocks would be underweight in the traditional IRA and more concentrated in the taxable and Roth accounts. While the management of this approach is more complex than simply setting up each account in a portfolio with identical weights, we believe it's worth the effort.
In addition to asset location, our investment committee focuses on selecting investment vehicles that are generally tax efficient in nature. Did you know there are some investment vehicles that are more tax efficient than others? This is certainly the case. Two investors may try to gain access in their taxable account to the same area of the market and pay quite different taxes. An actively managed mutual fund may have higher turnover than an index fund, making the index fund more attractive from a tax perspective. Additionally, Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) may have additional tax efficient benefits related to their structure which allows some rebalancing within the fund without causing a taxable event. This structure differs from the traditional mutual fund which has to pay taxes on gains even from rebalancing trades. Our investment committee pays close attention to these details in order to create a tax picture that attempts to minimize taxes owed. While operating within the tax code, our goal for tax efficiency is to keep as much in our client's pocket as possible.
Understanding the importance of tax efficiency in your portfolio will help you on your way to becoming a savvy steward of your investments.

Meetings and Deferring Decision-Making

Two white men were on Tuesday found guilty of the murder 18 years ago of black teenager Stephen Lawrence in an unprovoked attack that became a defining moment in race relations in Britain.
Gary Dobson, 36, and David Norris, 35, had denied involvement in the knife attack on the 18-year-old at a bus stop in Eltham, southeast London in April 1993, by a gang of white youths.
But a jury at the Old Bailey court in London found them both guilty on the basis of new forensic evidence.
A judicial inquiry into the handling of the case by London's Metropolitan Police found "institutional racism" within the police and led to significant changes in the way murders involving black victims are investigated.
The so-called Macpherson report is regarded by many as a defining moment in British race relations and one of the key moments in the modern history of criminal justice.

And, why not? They're so simple and fresh and delicious, and the possibilities are endless.
Although egg rolls are often thought to be appropriate for Asian food, I can guarantee these little wraps are the ideal pockets for any and all flavors.
I've made sweet egg rolls filled with fruit and chocolate.
I've made savory egg rolls filled with meat, fish, quinoa, kale and tons of veggies.
This recipe is one of my all-time favorites. It's perfect for summer lunches with friends, after-school snacks for kids and even a quick and easy family meal.
So, let's get rolling, Yummies.
4 tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp sea salt and black pepper
1 tsp garlic powder
6 sheets of egg rolls
1 onion cut julienne
1 red bell pepper cut julienne
1/2 cucumber, peeled and cut julienne
1/4 cup of crumbled Feta cheese
1/2 cup of hummus
- Heat the olive oil in a frying pan.
- Add the onion and red pepper.
- Sprinkle the salt, pepper and garlic powder over the onion and red pepper while they cook and soften.
- When the onions are translucent and the red peppers have softened use a slated spatula to remove them from the oil, but keep the oil in the pan on low heat.
- Lay the egg roll sheets out on your workspace.
- Spread 1 tbsp of hummus into the middle of the egg roll sheet.
- Top the hummus with 1 tsp of crumbled Feta cheese, then stack 3-4 slices of cut cucumber on top of the cheese.
- Spoon the onion and red pepper mixture on top of the cucumber then roll the egg roll per the instructions on the sheet.
- Turn the heat on the oil up to med-high heat and add 2-3 egg rolls at a time to the oil.
- Cook the egg roll until it browns on one side, then flip it over and brown on the other side.
- Remove the cooked egg rolls and drain them on a paper-towel-lined plate.
- Serve with olive oil or hummus as a dipping sauce.
I seriously ate two of these before I could even get these pictures taken. They were that darn delicious!
Enjoy, Yummies!

According to Nick Wagoner of ESPN, the St. Louis Rams are very committed to keeping Sam Bradford as the franchise quarterback for the foreseeable future. There have been rumors swirling for the last couple of weeks that the Rams could consider drafting a quarterback with the second overall pick in the draft that they acquired from Washington. All that being said, the franchise has made it very clear that they are committed to Bradford as their future.
In addition to committing to Bradford, the Rams have also made it clear that they will listen to offers for their second overall draft pick. The Rams made a very similar deal just a couple short years ago with the Washington Redskins that ended up sending Robert Griffin III to the Redskins.
"Boy, that would be great. You never know through this process what other teams are thinking and who they really like. And then you've got to go through the interview process. And if it's one to two to three quarterbacks, and those guys went in interviews and all of a sudden, maybe so. When you've been on a team that's looking for a QB, you're going to at all costs try to go get that QB. I mean there's a possibility." – Les Snead on Rams Trading #2 Pick
The Rams had Sam Bradford for seven game this past season before losing him to injury. He accumulated 1,687 yards, 14 touchdowns, and just four interceptions. His decision making improved an incredible amount this year and it's obvious that the coaching staff has done a great job working with him.
Bradford tore his ACL this past season, and that certainly will bring up concerns about his future. He was having a fairly good season with St. Louis and showed quite a bit of improvement in multiple areas of his game. Assuming he's able to come back completely healthy, he's going to have another good season next year.

Project Leader:
Mark Harding
Research Objectives:
- Investigate temporal and spatial distribution of Manta birostris
- Assess Population Size
- Assess natural and anthropogenic threats
- Community integration
Project Start Date:
Project Goals:
To identify local, regional and large-scale movements of oceanic manta rays in the northern reaches of the Humboldt Current range bordering Ecuador and Peru as well as the wider Tropical Eastern Pacific. To identify threats to these populations of mantas within their range.
Why this is important:
Recently have we discovered that there is a significant population of giant mantas in this region. We have identified two distinct aggregation points for these rays at one particular juncture in their calendar, but contacts throughout the region's fishing communities strongly suggest that aggregation points extend along a massive stretch of coastline, and for much more of the year than currently understood.
Project Overview:
Ecuador and Peru have a much underdeveloped coastline, and seemingly endless expansion of their fishing fleets. Hundreds of miles of these respective coastlines bear nothing but battered sandstone rock and vast sandy beaches, punctuated with regularity by developing communities sustained predominantly by artisanal fishing activity. Tourism in this region is underdeveloped and the number of recreational dive outlets populating this 750 kilometre cross-border stretch of coastline could be counted on one hand. Data on mantas from this region is sparse to say the least.
Our aim is to work closely with the fishing communities over the next two years to build an accurate picture of the spatial and temporal distribution of the population of giant mantas. By building collaborative partnerships with other community based programs we aim to develop a clear understanding of the timings of the coastal migration of these rays, and how that migration fits with the Tropical Eastern Pacific region as a whole.
Our main focus for 2012 will be Peru, where we know there is a small, regular directed fishery for mantas, and we will be assisted by the team at Planeta Oceano led by marine biologist Kirsten Forsberg. We aim to identify the timings and locations of aggregations of mantas on this stretch of coastline, and hope to continue to build on our database that was started in Ecuador. Currently our research has recorded over 650 mantas and by geographically extending our project we hope to identify new sites and new mantas as well as learning more about the population of mantas we study at our existing sites.
Main Objectives:
- To identify aggregation sites and timings of giant manta rays along the northern Peruvian coastline regions of Tumbes and Piura.
- To build upon our current database to identify individuals using the migratory route and confirm that these mantas have been sighted at other known aggregation sites within Ecuador.
- Integrate with the local communities of the region to disseminate our findings to raise awareness of the importance of giant mantas within the ecosystem as an important source of revenue through tourism.
Partners & Sponsors:
Without the generous support and sponsorship we receive we would not be able to achieve our work in the Seychelles. We are very grateful to these organisations for their support.

The Chicago pastor, who has had a rift with Mr Obama's administration for two years, told a group raising money for African relief that his pleas to release frozen funds for use in earthquake-ravaged Haiti would likely be ignored.
"No one in the Obama administration will respond to me, listen to me, talk to me or read anything that I write to them. I am 'toxic' in terms of the Obama administration," Mr Wright wrote in a letter to the president of Africa 6000 International earlier this year.
"I am 'radioactive,' Sir. When Obama threw me under the bus, he threw me under the bus literally!" he wrote. "Any advice that I offer is going to be taken as something to be avoided. Please understand that!"
When he was still a senator, Mr Obama cut ties with Mr Wright after the pastor's more incendiary remarks became an internet sensation in the spring of 2008. At a National Press Club appearance in April 2008, he claimed the US government could plant AIDS in the black community, praised Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan and suggested Mr Obama was putting his pastor at arm's length for political purposes while privately agreeing with him.
Mr Obama denounced Wright as "divisive and destructive" and later cut ties to the pastor altogether and left Mr Wright's church.

By "Non-Responsive" I mean the motion controls are not working. Obviously the cursor will still work as this is not associated at all with motion controls, it is infra-red. Now, if you Wiimote will not respond to swings and other actions for games such as Wii Sports, it means the accelerometers are "stuck". Fortunately, there is an easy fix: > Lie the controller flat on the palm of your hand. > Use the other to strike it sharply several times. > Try it. > Repeat as necessary. Many people think i am joking when I say this, but it is actually the recommended method of fixing it. (Mods: Please sticky this if you deem it necessary)

Chief John Odigie Oyegun,
|Chief John Odigie Oyegun After Casting His Vote today
TheCable - Chief John Odigie Oyegun, , national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), jocularly told journalists on Wednesday that he was ready to get his own share of financial inducement of voters participating in the Edo state governorship election.
There have been reports of voting in exchange for money — TheCable witnessed one — although it was not immediately clear which political party was responsible.
Addressing reporters after casting his ballot at Ward 2, Unit 2, Staff Training Center, Okada Avenue, Benin, Oyegun said it would be difficult to identify those bribing voters.
"When you look at a place like this, you don't know who has been given money or who has not," he said.
"How do you know that somebody has been given money? The way it is, nobody will know who you voted for. Please, is there somebody sharing money, let me go there and collect my own."
He described the turnout as very impressive, saying "it is a sign that something good is about to happen".
"I have always voted here, and this is the best turnout that I have ever seen," he said.
"This is even the largest number of journalists that I will address in this place. This presumes that something good is about to happen.
"People are keen to express their civic rights and this shows that democracy has become widespread. It's a very good development. It has been peaceful so far; I have been monitoring on the television.
"The security arrangement has been absolute. As the national chairman of the party, the issue of security has been of great concern to us and all the security agencies gave us the assurance that there would be no incident, at least no major incident."
The exercise is going on smoothly across the state. Voters started trooping to their polling units as early as 6:30am, and the electoral officials arrived in time.
By the arrangement of the Independent National Electoral Commission, voting will stop at 2pm.

What a difference a year makes.
Last Christmas, my son, Dylan, was a chubby little 7-month-old with no clue what all the excitement was about. He just sat on the couch surrounded by toys, clothing, boxes, wrapping paper and bows.
This year, he still had no clue what all the excitement was about, but boy he sure did love the whole gift-getting idea. So much so, he decided no gift could stay wrapped, whether it was for him or not.
We woke up Christmas morning by ourselves like every other morning, which I have decided will not happen again. Over the years, a common factor of Christmas morning has been waking up to my younger brother, Chad, jumping on my bed screaming "Merry Christmas," then we would run into the living room and open our presents together.
Although Dylan was with me this year, it was definitely lonely not having anyone to share the morning with. So starting next year, as long as I am single, my son and I will be staying at my mother's house on Christmas Eve.
Later that morning, Dylan's dad came over and opened presents with us, which was so much fun. I had camera and camcorder in hand to capture all the excitement. Since his father really doesn't have any experiences with the holiday, sharing the day with him made it that much more memorable.
Dylan loved opening all the presents and playing with all the toys. Daddy put everything together for him and Dylan would go from one toy to the next checking them out. He really loved the dancing Elmo. He would bob his head along with Elmo as the stuffed red monster sang the ABCs.
|Dylan, Christmas 2002
What fun it was to see him be so excited!
Then it was time to pack up the car with presents for our family and trek over to grandma's. After waiting for a bit, it was time to open more gifts. Uncle Chad handed out each gift one by one to everyone.
"This one is for Auntie Lisa, and this one is for Cousin Liam. This one is for grandma … here you go Dylan, this one is for you!"
The pile of gifts for Dylan and myself began towering over us as he went from one stack of wrapped boxes to the next trying to open each of them. He didn't care which ones were his, as long as he could tear the paper right off them.
Everyone kept trying to show him which gifts were his, but it didn't seem to matter. He would rip the paper off one shirt box and hand it to me saying "Mama" as if he knew there weren't any cool toys inside of them.
After daddy put together the sit-and-spin, a gift from Uncle Chad, he calmed down for a second. Daddy spun him around and around as he grinned from ear to ear. Then it was back to tearing off wrapping paper again.
He scurried back and forth from one gift to the next through the sea of torn wrapping paper all over the floor. By 1 p.m., he was still wide awake and smiling, and for a toddler who rarely misses his nap, this was amazing.
Earlier in the day, I had begun to doubt my gift-giving ability to my son. After hearing of the numerous, extravagant gifts some of my friends had gotten for their children, I began to wonder if I had spent enough of my savings on my son. I also felt the need to make up for his father's side not celebrating the holiday.
It was something his father said to me Christmas morning, that made me appreciate the things I did get for Dylan. He said, "Look at all the stuff you gave him. You should be glad you are able to buy the things you did for him."
Christmas Day 2002 was filled with love, fun, laughter and tons of wrapping paper. But most of all the day was filled with memories of Christmas with Dylan that will last a lifetime.

I have 101 minutes to upright my desk and get everything situated again. :)
Is VoT the same server that SA and 4chan are using? How is this even going to work?
The GAF guild in Dragonfall recommends you to roll in Dragonfall. No queues at all.
If you heard a scream coming from the Dallas area, that was me. Had it timed just right as I put the kids to bed. Come in here to find this:
101 minutes remaining to get back in now. >__<
Server transfers April 30th, move your character to Dragonfall than. Seriously hope EnMasse are smart enough to not let people transfer to VoT...

Only way is if they allow you on the 30th, otherwise re-roll.

Play Slayer... when you get Overhand Strike.. you feel way more stronger.
One thing they bugs me a little bit is the sense that because everything scales with you or makes you scale down, I never feel like I'm improving or becoming more powerful. Yeah, I earn more skills as I level up, but they're just not cutting the mustard. Meanwhile, it feels mobs can slaughter you with impunity. Very odd.
Also I think Sorcs get a "shit just got real" skill or two down the line.
Just curious as I made a couple but can't decide which to play first.

I'm going to attempt to play this with a controller at first and see how it goes. I think everything is good to go, just need to figure out how to unlock the skills to switch them.
That's not an option for us PvPers at the moment. :(
I couldn't imagine waiting in queue to play... I'd switch servers and start from lvl 1 pretty fucking quick.
Man this night has been brutally disappointing. I've been trying to get in for four hours now without any luck. Made it all the way to 50th in the queue at VoT then crashed. Tried Baslisk Crag, waited 30 minutes, created a character, then crashed. Tried VoT again, queue said 90 minutes. Came back 45 minutes later and it still said 90 minutes (must have been a silent crash). Now VoT is up over 120 minutes, so I'm back in line at BC. 32 minutes away from at least getting to play for a few minutes today.
Queues suck, but I can abide them if I can actually get in and play after waiting my turn. The crashes are killing me. If this continues for the forseeable future I'll have no choice but to give up. :(
And how in God's name do I invert the Y axis on the mouse and/or the gamepad controller?
Couldn't find anything related to Y axis in settings - and it's distracting enough I can't finish the tutorial until I get this fixed.
Originally Posted by QisTopTier

I did figure out that level 20 was temporary (also for lore reasons apparently).
edit: found Y axis setting. all is right in the world
I had a lot of fun tonight :D Thanks guys

If I had the time, I would give this game a shot. Looking over the OP made me interested in the PvP.
of course being me i had to make a stop to take a quick picture of myself in from of this before i met up with Jiien and BlazingDarkness to do a SM run.
oh shii. it saw me.
lured it away to someone else.
We made it inside the Manor and fighting off the queen there. I stopped to say hi to everyone outside.
Oh hi there.
We spent the night at Chebika.
Big dog is big
Inside the cave. We fought of a lot of mobs a few bams and even tried our hands on a bigger BAM who surprised us.
more in another post.
Jiien died against a BAM. so...
This is why the party falls apart lol
we went deeper in the cave.
was laughing at them fighting it. lol
We decided to run from that and call it a night. not before i took a picture of this.
That was our night. it was a good run.
All the pictures i uploaded are here http://minus.com/m99Kx7IEY/
including other Tera images.
Fun game though, got to level 15 on my lancer. I presume i'll have to buy a US copy if i want to continue playing this character?
Don't stop taking them :D

I was watching a great presentation that Ward Bell put together recapping PDC '09 and stumbled on one of his last slides which purports; ".NET 4<br/> Same CLR in Silverlight & .NET" and was a bit perplexed, so I dug into the concepts behind that title a bit. It turns out that Ward was referring to a new feature in .NET 4 called "assembly portability". Richard Lander does a great job explaning this on the CLR Team Blog.
In summary; you can compile Silverlight 4 Class Library projects and reference them in both SL4 and .NET 4 (WPF,WinForms, etc…) provided the SL Class Library does not reference anything outside of these specific assemblies:
• Mscorlib
• System
• System.Core
• System.ComponentModel.Composition
• Microsoft.VisualBasic
The net benefit of this is that you can write your reusable logic and compile it to SL4 Class Libraries and your assembly will be usable by both .NET 4 and Silverlight 4 without recompilation. Pretty cool!

Quadrilaterals Transfer Task
Lesson 8 of 8
Objective: SWBAT prove geometric relationships involving quadrilaterals
Big Idea: Mathematicians Wanted....Apply Here. In this lesson students apply what they have learned in the Quadrilaterals Unit to novel problems.
Transfer Task
Throughout the quadrilaterals unit, students have had things scaffolded for them within each lesson. In this lesson, each student will be flying solo, like a kite. It is a chance for me to see how well each student has assimilated the learning from the lessons in the unit. I explain to students that they will be working independently to complete tasks that will require them to apply what they have learned in the unit. I allow students to reference their notes and resources from the unit, but not other resources such as the textbook or internet.
My job in this lesson is to hand out a copy of the Quadrilaterals Unit Transfer Task PDF to each student and watch the fledglings take flight. For those reluctant to leave the nest, I do walk around giving the occasional nudge.
(Note: Multiple solutions are possible for the tasks, but see the Quadrilaterals Transfer Task KEY for sample solutions.)

The vision of Scandinavian Distillery owner Lexi (Old Ballard Liquor Co.), Tumble Swede is a celebration of the Scandinavian culinary heritage of the Pacific Northwest. The best of the seasonal, local dishes that have been developed over generations of Swedish, Danish and Norwegian settlers are interpreted here through a Modern Nordic lens. It is an exciting experience that's clearly Scandinavian but still distinctly Northwest.
What defines Nordic Cuisine? Pairing sweet and savory flavors together on the same plate is a common, while spices are used sparingly. Flavor is developed through technique, leaning heavily on simple preparations that let the quality of the ingredients shine. Super-fresh produce and seafood is enjoyed during the short Northern summers, while heavier, richer dishes feature smoked, pickled and fermented flavors for dark, cold winters.
What connection does Nordic food have with this area? Foraging made the most of every bite that the harsh Northern European landscape could offer, and when those early settlers arrived in the Pacific Northwest, they found a rich land with wild foods not unlike what they left back home. Thrifty and frugal to the end, our Scandinavian settlers quickly adapted old-world recipes to new-world ingredients. Northwest variations of traditional Scandinavian dishes can still be found in rural farming and fishing communities around Puget Sound, where they've been enjoyed for generations.
As a pop-up restaurant, we will be offering a new fixed menu for each iteration of Tumble Swede. We hope you enjoy the turning of the seasons as each new menu celebrates both the ingredients and the culture of seasonal New Nordic cuisine.

Now, I would like to make this system more conservative. I find that sometimes I irrigate to much and sometimes not enough depending on weather. Parts of my yard retains a bunch of moisture, I have been working for a while to adjust the operating times on each zone. This, along with replacing the broken RB heads, has really helped. Now I would like to add something that would sense moisture in order to make the system a bit more water conservative. The bills in the middle of summer really get high. Is this possible to add to my current system and is it something that me, a homeowner, could install? I don't mind putting some time into it and was thinking of something along the lines of a Baseline S100. Would this help me or do you recommend something else?

Intercultural Encounters
The English Elchi [ambassador] had reached Tehran a few days before we arrived there, and his reception was as brilliant as it was possible for a dog of an unbeliever to expect from our blessed Prophet's own lieutenant… The princes and noblemen were enjoined to send the ambassador presents, and a general command issued that he and his suite were the Shah's guests, and that, on the pain of the royal anger, nothing but what was agreeable should be said to them.
All these attentions, one might suppose, would be more than sufficient to make infields contented with their lot; but, on the contrary, when the subject of etiquette came to be discussed, interminable difficulties seemed do arise. The Elchi was the most intractable of mortals. First, on the subject of sitting. On the day of his audience of the Shah, he would not sit on the ground, but insisted upon having a chair; then the chair was to be placed so far, and no farther, from the throne. In the second place, of shoes, he insisted upon keeping on his shoes, and not walking barefooted upon the pavement; and he would not even put on our red cloth stockings. Thirdly, with respect to hats: he announced his intention of pulling his off to make his bow to the king, although we assured him that it was an act of great indecorum to uncover the head. And then, on the article of dress, a most violent dispute arose: at first, it was intimated that proper dresses should be sent to him and his suite, which would cover their persons (now too indecently exposed) so effectually that they might be fit to be seen by the king; but this proposal he rejected with derision. He said that he would appear before the Shah of Persia in the same dress he wore when before his own sovereign.
-James Morier, The Adventures of Hajji Baba of Ispahan, 1824, Chapter LXXVII
James J. Morier (1780-1849) was a European, and The Adventures of Hajji Baba of Ispahan is a work of fiction.
Morier , however, knew what he wrote about. He was born and raised in Ottoman Turkey as a son of the British consul at Constantinople (now Istanbul).
Later on he spent altogether seven years as a British diplomat in Persia (present-day Iran). When Hajji Baba was translated into Persian, the readers refused to believe that it had been written by a foreigner. " Morier was by temperament an ideal traveler, reveling in the surprising interest of strange lands and peoples, and gifted with a humorous sympathy that enabled him to appreciate the motives actuating persons entirely dissimilar to himself," to quote the editor of the 1923 version of his book.
obviously read and spoke Turkish and Persian. For all practical
he had become multicultural.
From Cultures and Organizations. Software of the Mind, by Geert Hofstede, Gert Jan Hofstede, and Michael Minkov (3rd ed).
|In other words, James Morier could span a bridge between British and Persian culture. He was a boundary spanner, because he understood both sides and could articulate the difference. In British fashion, he used his skill to ridicule his own people, which was probably the best way to get his message across.
In today's multi-national companies, boundary spanners are also badly needed. They can avert cross-cultural misunderstanding in the organization. For instance, they can help local employees understand incomprehensible requests from faraway headquarters to local employees. This could be about HR, about accounting, about data capture, or about research.
James Morier had lived in both cultures from birth, but he was a rare bird. We have to use traineeships, courses, exchanges and the like. These are investments with large payoffs.

The Lights Are Still On In Nigerian E-Commerce Space
Despite all the hype, profitability is still an unattainable ideal for Nigerian online shopping giants such as Konga and Jumia.
Back in August 2016, the industry was finally treated to an inside account of the trials and tribulations of e-commerce in Nigeria, and Africa in general.
Investment firm Kinnevik, which has backed Konga and DealDey in Nigeria, released a report detailing the performance of its subsidiaries.
The figures with regard to Konga were concerning. The report noted the company had just 184,000 active customers, and was some way from profitability. Debates about the sustainability of e-commerce in Nigeria escalated, especially as main rival Jumia is itself some way from profitability.
The bad news continued into this year, when the African Tech Startups Funding Report noted a significant fall-off in funding for e-commerce companies, as investors steered clear due to sizeable overheads involved with scaling an e-commerce company in Africa.
Things are looking up, however. In a recent opinion piece, Konga CEO Shola Adekoya said Naspers and Kinnevik had pumped more funding into the company at the start of this year,
Meanwhile, the latest Kinnevik report said Konga was heading towards profitability, reaching "break-even before overhead costs in 2016." All this came as Nigerian financial services comparison platform TopCheck was acquired by South Africa's Silvertree Internet Holdings for an undisclosed amount.
Of course, 2016 was not without its positive news, such as Jumia's major funding rounds and Silvertree's acquisition of DealDey. But industry observers could be forgiven for wondering about the success prospects of companies in the space.
Things seem a little more positive now. Announcing that Konga has raised funding, Adekoya said Nigeria's huge population and growing GDP meant the prospects for e-commerce have always been good.
However, he said reaping the rewards was not straightforward.
"To encourage Nigerians to make more online transactions, the e-commerce industry must find innovative solutions to the table stakes of online sales, such as fast and easy payments and refunds, and trouble-free deliveries and returns," Adekoya said.
"Perhaps it's the passion and commitment involved in bringing Nigeria's strong trading culture online that makes our country an attractive proposition for investors."
He said platforms such as Konga needed to be tailored to local customers' needs, something Kehinde Oriola, CEO of DealDey, noted at the AHUB event in Cape Town in 2016.
"There's much still to do, especially as our marketplace model continues to evolve around local nuances, but at Konga, we couldn't feel more positive about the future," said Adekoya.
"Looking ahead, it is our ambition to bring millions more consumers online to shop for their everyday needs by providing a superior service that means and offers something to everyone. Our latest double digit million-dollar investment from Naspers and Kinnevik will take the business to break even and allow the team to continue improving on Konga's customer experience across all its offerings."
Paul Cook, director of Silvertree and a long-term advocate of the prospects of African e-commerce, agrees. He said the chances of success in Nigeria especially are positive given the large population, substantial spending power, and limited access to traditional retail.
There are challenges that need to be overcome, however.
"It used to be Nigerian e-commerce companies did everything themselves, like logistics and pay on delivery. These days much of that can be outsourced," Cook said.
"The long-term underlying challenge is that it takes a long time for consumers to become comfortable shopping online, and it's hard and very expensive to accelerate this. So you have to offer great service and push for trustworthiness, and also realise that the market will grow slowly. Many players haven't realised this."
Silvertree, and the likes of Konga and Jumia, have. Cook says e-commerce in Africa is "absolutely a long-term play," though the short-term will be extremely challenging.
"Even the medium-term will rely on the gradual growth of online consumers," he said. None of these factors look like putting people off, however. The potential prizes are too great.

Also, be sure that you keep a good communication with each other. Through communication, you can be sure that your interest is both the major concern here. You should know how your career is doing and ask what can be other ways to further it. Do not fight with your agent, talk peaceably for the good of your own career. Do not be hard on yourself when you hear suggestions and criticisms because they are only for your own good. If you are planning to find an agent, these things can sure help you find the right one. Always bear in mind that your right choice of agent is a big help in achieving your goals.

Lawsuit alleges B.C. government spending millions on partisan ads to enhance Liberals' image
David Trapp, who is the representative plaintiff in a class action lawsuit aimed at stopping partisan BC government advertising, talks to reporters outside the Vancouver Law Courts. His lawyers (David Fai, (with beard), to the left in the photo and Paul Doroshenko, to the right) stand by his side. (Submitted Photo)
A White Rock man has filed a class-action lawsuit aimed at getting the B.C. government to stop spending millions on what he and his lawyers are calling partisan advertising.
David Trapp, representative plaintiff in the case, was angry at watching government ads running on TV while he was recently recovering from cancer.
He and his lawyers, David Fai and Paul Doroshenko, are seeking to have a judge impose an injunction on the ads, given the looming provincial election campaign.
They claim the government has spent up to $15 million on the ads and want the court to certify the case as a class-action suit, arguing the Liberals have consistently engaged in taxpayer-funded partisan and non-essential advertising since being elected in May 2013.
Trapp, 63, a retired TransLink employee, told reporters Monday that the thing that bothers him the most about the ads is that he is helping pay for them and, secondly, that the Liberal party on its own has raised millions in donations.
"So why am I paying for them to tell me how great British Columbia is? If it's so great, then why do we have to have it shoved down our throat every 15 minutes on Global News?"
Doronshenko called the suit a public-interest litigation and told the reporters that he and Fai will not be working on the case on a contingency basis. They have launched an online fundraising campaign in a bid to defray the expected legal costs.
"Right now they're distorting the electoral process by taking this money and using it for their own purpose," Doroshenko said of the Liberal government. "We want to stop that as quickly as possible."
The suit, which names both the B.C. government and the B.C. Liberal Party as defendants, identifies several offending advertisements, including ads dealing with a government plan on jobs and a plan to promote the liquid natural-gas industry.
Doroshenko said that the ads are breaching the government's fiduciary obligation to taxpayers, with the Liberal party getting a "huge" benefit because they don't have to spend money on advertising.
"We say they're converting the taxpayer money into their own money for their own purpose," he said. "We believe strongly that we have a good legal basis for the lawsuit we're advancing."
Said Fai: "We say that's a misappropriation of public funds and a breach of the public trust. We're not looking to make money. We want the B.C. Liberal Party to pay the government back the money spent on their ads."
The lawyers pointed to a 2014 report by B.C.'s auditor general that reiterates a 1996 report from the auditor general recommending that the government establish a policy that prohibits the use of partisan political information in public government communications.
An email from the B.C. Ministry of Advanced Education, which is responsible for government communications and advertising, defended the ads and said that the suit was timed to occur just before the election.
"The issues should be addressed in the election and not in the courtroom," said the email. "Government has informed British Columbians about important services and programs."
The email said government has provided information, including details about the opioid overdose crisis that claimed the lives of more than 900 people last year, as well as changes to Medical Services Plan premiums.
"Government worked with the Office of the Auditor General to ensure that all information campaigns fulfil clear criteria: be fact-based, inform the public about government programs, services, policies or priorities and provide an opportunity for the public to engage with the government."
Doroshenko said he hopes to bring the injunction application before a judge within the next two weeks.

Either Candice or Elissa.
Either Candice or Elissa.
Elissa, because I like her.
And I hated her sister. :p
Don't argue with an idiot; people watching may not be able to tell the difference.
I voted Judd..Yes he may have called people bad things, but to be honest, if I was stuck in the house with these people, I probably would have said the same things. I think deep down he is a nice guy, and lets face it, he was entertaining. Elissa always thought she was better than everyone in the house. Yeah, I like that she didn't bow down to Mc and Amanda, but that doesn't warrant a vote in my books. And I can't say I liked many of the others.
I ended up voting for Candice, if only because she got screwed worse than any of the others.
But I don't have any enthusiasm for any of them when it comes to this prize.
"Whatever you are, be a good one." Abraham Lincoln
What is an "MFWalkoff?"
None of those in the jury were ever my favorites. They may have had potential at the very beginning ... but they never achieved that potential.
Elissa may win this ... but she has never been MY favorite.
Judd was my favorite right from the start and remains my favorite.
I think he is a nice guy, and has been the least offensive male.
I like him, I'm a fan, he's my favorite, so that is how I voted.
"The way to become boring is to say everything." Voltaire
" The greatness of a nation can be judged by the way its animals are treated. "
Mohandas Gandhi
I will vote for Judd as fan fav because he has given me the most enjoyment with his humor. His wit took a back seat to his anxiety, when he returned, but I remember chasing him around the feeds because he was fun to watch before his eviction.
I assume he is out next so I have no preference as to who I want see win this.
... I probably won't vote ...
Where do you vote? I can't find the link on CBS.com.
It's probably not available yet.
The cure for boredom is curiosity. There is no cure for curiosity. Dorothy Parker, (attributed)
Ok, I'm an idiot. When people said they voted, they meant IN THIS THREAD. Hahahahaha! Awkward!

"Cyber Schools" Challenge Public School Monopolies
April 5, 2002
Champions of the public-school status quo now have "cyber schools" to worry about. Cyber schools seek to bypass traditional classrooms and take teaching directly to the students' homes via the computer. Public school administrators and teachers unions don't want public education funds to follow them. School districts in Pennsylvania, in fact, are banding together to fight public funding of the projects.
- Many states have long had laws that allow students to attend schools outside their immediate neighborhoods -- with increased public funds flowing to the most popular institutions.
- Now, about 50 online schools have taken root, where children -- freed of any geographic boundaries at all -- communicate with their teachers and other students via telephone, chat room and e-mail.
- Most are publicly funded and sponsored -- but linked to for-profit entities.
- Cyber schools offer broader opportunities for high achievers in search of more-challenging courses -- and for the 850,000 children who are home schooled.
With fewer than 50,000 students enrolled nationwide, cyber schools currently account for a small portion of the 53 million K-12 students, or the nearly $400 billion in annual education spending.
But that is changing as companies pitch online education as a way for school districts to stretch resources and maybe even make money.

Lost images after a migration to WordPress
Hi. Newbie here.
Backstory: I migrated from Blogger to WordPress a few months ago. I have no code experience at all so I hired someone to do it for me, without understanding what this would require (self-hosting, etc.)
The migration seemed seamless, but in the last week I've just noticed that nearly all my images from the Blogger site have disappeared.
In edit mode I can see that the image links are all broken and link back to a blogger address. Is there a way to fix this? Anyone have experience with this issue?
Example of missing images: http://www.possessionista.com/2010/07/pretty-little-liars-please-do-talk-about-me-when-im-gone.html
Address of broken link: http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_MGDeA2my0i8/TE-aWoP0iLI/AAAAAAAAHgc/jiSTdPRd5xg/s1600/rebeccataylor.jpg

Alina Bronsky Quotes
Sometimes I do readings and people can't stop laughing, but I'm reading about pretty tragic things. I think Soviet humor is a desperate humor, rather typical of very different nations, of Jewish people, Ukrainians, and of course, Russians. It's despair — just keep laughing, until you are dead.

Christian Bale found he was actually a brooding, angry superhero in Batman Begins because his tight-fitting costume made him feel caged and restricted.
Contactmusic.com reports that Bale insisted on making some adjustments to the batsuit for his second Batman movie The Dark Knight and he began with the headgear.
He revealed that his Batman Begins costume was topped off with a helmet that felt like "I was going scuba diving".
He said: "You couldn't move your head, you were bolted in. It was a vice on my skull, so I had a headache the whole damn time. I used it–Batman's supposed to be full of anger and rage and I didn't have to act that."

We are nearing the end of 2012 and with end comes a new beginning...The beginning of recording the first full length Strumpeteers album. We will be working diligently and posting updates of our endeavor along the way. We hope you can join us and watch our progress!
Wow! All of us Strumpeteers just want to express how awesome it was for so many people to come out to our last show! We can't wait to see you again, and maybe even some of your friends!
We just wanted to let everyone know what kind of entertainment is in store. We are grateful to everyone who has supported us and are happy to announce our first show is coming up soon. Please look forward to seeing us play at Sweetwater Bar and Grill in Duluth! I am excited to say we will be opening for the fabulous Joe Hall and his band of backing bandits.
In other events we have been working diligently to ensure that our musical prowess is at its peak for delivering tunes of the tastiest possible kind. We even have our own Doctor helping us.
Practice has been fruitful with the recent addition of our 5th bandmate. Justin Baker has joined us on keys and miscellaneous percussion, and I am pleased to say, our sound is shaping up nicely with more cowbell. I pity the fans who must witness the sick dance that comes along with Justin and his cowbell, but alas, it must be seen.
Keep an eye out for some open mic events. Come show your support!
