The first 4 times I had a non-personalised program that existed out:
- Stationairy bike: 12 minutes at 60 - 80 rpm
Running: 10 minutes at 4,5 km/h (6%)
Chest Press Sel: 3 sets - 15 reps (20 kg)
Vertical Traction Sel: 3 sets - 15 reps (30 kg)
Leg extension Elt+: 3 sets - 15 reps (10 kg)
Total abdominal Sel (Crunch): 3 sets - 15 reps (20 kg)
Recline: 10 minutes at 60 - 80 rpm
So nothing special. On 14 September I did some tests to get some basic information about my body, and these were the results:
- Height: 1m87
Weight: 64,3 kg
% Fat: 11,8
My current workout (and the goal weight I have to be able to do after 12 times):
- Stationairy bike: 12 minutes at 60 - 80 rpm, level 4 (max. level = 25)
Pectoral Sel - Arm Adduction: 4x 8 reps (25 kg)
Chest Press: 4x 8 reps (35 kg)
Vertical Traction Sel: 4x 8 reps (40 kg)
Row Pure: 4x 8 reps (40 kg)
Cross over Cable Elt+: 4x 8 reps (10 kg)
Cable Jungle - Arm curl: 4x 8 reps (15 kg)
Triceps Pushdown: 4x 8 reps (15 kg)
Leg extension Elt+: 4x 10 reps (30 kg)
Seated leg curl: 4x 10 reps (30 kg)
Leg Press: 4x 10 reps (70 kg)
Total abdominal Sel (Crunch): 3x 15 reps (30 kg)
Rotary Torso: 3x 12 reps (both sides) (15 kg)
I've noticed a few problems so far:
1. There is no restday in between Sunday and Monday... So what do I do on Monday? Do I use light weights? If I'm not sure can I just exercise as hard as I can...?
2. A lot of times I'm not feeling really sore, but I am feeling something. Is it okay to push your limits, or is it bad for your muscles/body when I do it with that 'feeling'?
My more detailed training log from the previous days is written on my blog. If you guys are interested: http://ectomorphingtime.tumblr.com/tagged/exlog. I'll be adding my new detailed logs to this page, but I don't think it's okay if I start spamming a few days worth of logs...

I pilfered this from redredrage, catarzyna, and several other folks. I came close to being The Star and The Tower with the change of one or two clicks that were also true, but this was the first and most accurate:
You are Temperance
Time. Ages. Transformation. Involuntary change
Temperance is another card of aspiration, but also of much change. It often
represents complex situations. Positively, you can harmonize contrary
Temperance is, on a surface level, about "tempering." The original pouring from cup to cup might have been about cutting wine with water. So this is a card about moderation. There is, however, another angle to the card, that of merging seemingly impossible opposites. Sagittarius, the centaur, merges beast and man into a unique creature. And then there is the bow and arrow, one moving, one stationary, working together to point the way. Temperance may be, at first glance, a warning for you to "temper" your behavior, to cut your wine with water. But it may also be a reminder to that seemingly irreconcilable opposites may not be irreconcilable at all. Belief that fiery red and watery blue cannot be merged may be the only thing standing in the way of blending the two. Change the belief, measure out each with care, and you can create otherworldly violet.
What Tarot Card are You?
Take the Test to Find Out.
It makes sense. I am a strong believer in balance. There's a lot to be said for moderation at times. I do not like to see the pendulum swing too far one way or the other in most things. I'm all for enthusiasm and passion -- joie de vivre is a positive thing, but when it crosses the line into extremism, obsession, and zealotry, it can be problematic.

PRESS RELEASE – To celebrate the 70th birthday of founder Msgr. Patrick Anthony, the 44 year old Folk Research Centre has been renamed the Msgr. Patrick Anthony Folk Research Centre.
This was announced on Wednesday night, the 9th August, by the Executive Director Mr. Hilary La Force. The occasion was a cultural evening held at the FRC in honour of the national cultural hero, holder of the Saint Lucia Cross and Saint Lucian priest whose work has transformed the cultural and religious landscape for more than 40 years.
The audience included the Governor General Dame Pearlette Louisy, a friend of Msgr. Anthony since their school days, Archbishop Robert Rivas, the Minister responsible for Culture Mrs. Fortuna Belrose and other distinguished personalities involved in the arts and culture of Saint Lucia. Many of the original founders of the FRC were present.
Tributes were paid to Msgr. Anthony by the Minister for Culture who presented him with a plaque from her ministry, Mr. Embert Charles, Mr. Augustus Justin, Dr. Joyceline Fletcher and the Governor General.
Cultural items were presented by Manmay Lakay, Richard Ambrose, Kendel Hippolyte, George 'Fish' Alphonse and Les Danseurs Folk dancers.
The plate carrying the new name of the Folk Research Centre was unveiled by the Governor General.
A presentation was made to Msgr. Anthony of the manuscript of a book titled 'The Road to Mount Pleasant: a handbook of Saint Lucian Culture" compiled and edited by John Robert Lee and Embert Charles. The FRC will launch the book in October during Creole Heritage Month.
Msgr. Anthony also received the gift of a carving by talented St. Lucian sculptor Jallim Eudovic.
Msgr. Anthony addressed the gathering, expressing his thanks for the celebration and called for the continuation of the cultural work of institutions like the FRC.

April showers bring May flowers! Flowers, flowers, everywhere! It seems we went from the first hint of spring to yards bursting with flowers all over the neighborhood. The air smells of fresh-cut grass, morning dew, and flowers. My kitchen table has a vase full of fresh-cut lilacs from my yard. It smells divine. This months Homeschool Arts and Crafts Project will focus on flowers as always, be sure to read down to the end to get homeschool educational flower facts to share with your kids.
May is here, and thats awesome, but were still living in a time warp. Our world has changed a lot in the last few months; many of us are stuck at home, kids are getting cabin fever and driving us bonkers. Secular Homeschools Arts and Crafts Project of the Month is here to help you! Not only will it give you something to change up your homeschooling day, but you can get out, get exercise (think PE!), and either travel the neighborhood ( dont forget to wave to your elderly neighbors stuck inside) or explore your own yard.
Flowers are not just for dressing up your yard or filling vases. They have so many other uses and my favorite is art. This time of year is perfect for it. Mother Nature gives us a bounty and we will show you how to utilize it for homeschool crafts!
Dandelion Art
These little yellow puffballs are everywhere. What kid doesnt love blowing that white puff and watching them dance on the breeze. Now you can create your own dandelion puff art.
- Toilet paper tube, 1 per child recommended
- White paint
- Dark construction paper, blue or black works best.
- Scissors; may need adult supervision or assistance
- White or green crayon
- Use the scissors to cut narrow strips down the toilet paper tube, about half-way. You want to leave a solid section to be used as a hand-hold. I would estimate about ¼-⅓ of an inch in width for each strip. Parent assistance may be needed.
- Bend the strips outward slightly. You want to make it almost look like a flower.
- Dip it lightly in the white paint.
- Apply to your construction paper. Press down lightly, it should spread out and give you a circular almost splash pattern of paint. You can repeat several times on the same spot.
- Let dry.
- Use your white or green crayon to draw the stem.
- You can create several on a sheet of paper or just one. There is no wrong way to do this.
- Congrats, you just created dandelion puffs.
Fun Facts:
You might think these little yellow flowers are annoying weeds. Think again!
- These flowers are the first food of spring for emerging bees, bugs, and butterflies. Leave them be. If you want to pull them, wait until the yellow flower subsides but before it becomes the known puffball.
- Did you know that dandelions are healthy food for people and animals? You can eat the entire dandelion from flower to root and they taste pretty good. Many pets like them as well. I grow them for my bearded dragon, my rabbit, and my tortoise. Warning: Please do not consume or feed your pets any dandelions that you didnt grow.I.E., dont pick them at the park for your dinner, you do not know if or what pesticides and/or chemicals may have been used in that area. We keep our yard pesticide and herbicide-free for that reason. If you want to eat them, consider growing them in a container garden.
- Dandelions have many medicinal uses. They may help ailments such as joint pain and high blood sugar and have been used for hundreds of years.
- Dandelions are not native to North America. They were brought across by Europeans in the 1600s and quickly spread (as they are known to do).
Flower Rubbings
We are all familiar with leaf rubbings but have you heard of flower rubbings? Consider it an upgrade. You can create a flower painting without painting at all. Just a little elbow grease, some heavy-duty paper, and a colorful flower.
- Heavy-duty paper; such as cardstock or watercolor paper
- Child-size hammer, wooden block or small rock (smooth-sided works better)
- Colored pencils or crayons
- Flowers; deeply colored work better for transfer. Avoid fluffy or thick flowers as they will not transfer well.
- Paper towels or newspapers.
- Lay down your paper. Tape to the surface if needed to prevent movement.
- Position the flower face down. Whatever you face towards the paper is what will transfer.
- Lay several layers of paper towels or newspapers over the flower.
- Lightly tap the entire flower with the hammer (rock or block).
- Peek to see how it is transferring. Do a second time with the hammer if needed. You want to transfer the colors from the flower and stem, not crush them.
- Remove paper towels/newspapers. Remove flower. Admire your art.
- If your edges are not as sharp as you would like, fill it in with your colored pencils or crayons.
- Experiment with different flowers. The darker the color, the darker the transfer.
- Experiment with different items to transfer with. I found a heavy wooden or marble rolling pin worked quite well.
Fun Facts:
- Flowers grow on every continent, including Antarctica. I know, I had to double-check that but they have 2 species of flowering plants. Crazy!
- Watermeal, a type of duckweed is the smallest flower. The plant itself is the size of a grain of rice. WHAT!?
- Rafflesia arnoldii is the largest flower. It comes from Indonesia, with a bloom of up to 3 feet across and weighing up to 15 pounds. Wonder where you get a vase for that?
- Many types of flowers are edible. Try growing some marigolds or nasturtiums to add to your salad.
- Check out the oldest known flower, over 100 million years old. Montsechia
Have fun, enjoy being outside, getting fresh air, smelling the flowers, and most of all - share your homeschool art projects with us on Instagram!

EMR and EHR
Primary Docs See Hope For Stronger Financials With EMR
A recent study revealed that 51 percent of doctors felt the EMRs would help solve their problems. In fact, some believe that it will help them financially as well. Their theory? Better coding and documentation will lead to more efficiency and reduction of costs. Is this a worth-while belief, or are these doctors setting themselves up for disappointment?
EMR Data Often "Innaccurate" Or "Missing", Study Says
EMR adoption is expected to reach nearly 80 percent of healthcare organizations by 2016. This may come as a relief to some who believe that EMRs eliminate data errors that come with paper-based systems. However, EMRs may not be as accurate and complete as everyone might hope. Symptoms on patients who die quickly may not be recorded, and accuracy can depend on if a patient was treated at night or during the day. Teamwork may be the solution to eliminating EMR-based errors.
Hospital EMR
Your Facebook-like Health and Status Feed
Should healthcare practices integrate a social media-like system, incorporating real health time and status feeds, into clinical workflow? In theory, it would be a great idea. However, as with Facebook and Twitter, not every status gets read. This may get information out quickly, but maybe not to who needs to see it.
Happy EMR Doctor
Patient Engagement in the Digital Era
Patient Engagement has gone from eye-to-eye contact to Googling health questions. While this may seem like patient engagement is becoming less personal, it can be positive. Patients can be more involved in their health care, and take control of it. Dr. Michael West discusses that and more in his article this week.

Anyone who has known me for a long time will know that I am most likely to be found with my nose in a book. As a kid, I could go missing for hours and be found squashed in a corner somewhere, book in hand. As an adult, I often complain that my bag is too heavy, only to open it and find a tiny library inside. I don't think it's much of an exaggeration to say that I found out what kind of person I wanted to be in the pages of hundreds upon hundreds of books. As someone who puts a lot of pressure on herself, I collect heroes and heroines who struggle with who they want to be, whether they can really be the person that they're expected to be. Of course, I've never had to brandish a sword or cross vast, strange lands on a mystical quest, but nonetheless, I found friends in characters that I recognised myself in. And I found another in Finn, the hero of Shane Hegarty's young adult series, Darkmouth.
Full disclosure here: Shane is a friend of the family. I know a lot of really brilliant people, so it was only a matter of time before one of them did something really brilliant. And my god, this is really brilliant. I read the entire first book in one evening. The series takes place in a small Irish town called Darkmouth, which is strikingly similar to Shane's hometown of Skerries. But Darkmouth is different. Because in Darkmouth, there be monsters. In ancient times, the world was filled with portals, through which enormous mythical monsters, called Legends, escaped into our world. Darkmouth holds the last one. Fortunately, the world is protected by Hugo, a fearsome Legend hunter, and Finn, his young son. Finn is being trained to take up the family business. Except that he'd really rather just be a vet. I shan't spoil it for you but this is a gorgeous, hilarious portrait of a young boy struggling to live up to his legendary father, all while fending off literal demons left, right and centre. I caught up with Shane and his talented illustrator James de la Rue to find out more about the men behind the Legends.
Shane, what first gave you the idea for the Darkmouth series?
I'd always wanted to write fun, adventurous, fantastical fiction but took years to build up the confidence to actually give it a go. The irony is that I was writing for years before that – as a journalist and as the author of two books of popular history. In the end, I came up with this not particularly original idea – a boy fights monsters that invade his town – but knew it offered a great starting point to explore two worlds. And for jokes. Lots of jokes.
If you were a Legend, what kind of Legend do you think you'd be?
I'd like to be one with seven heads and fourteen arms so I could write these books quicker, without having to interrupt the all-important coffee-drinking. In the books I choose from existing myths because a) I'm lazy and b) it's fun to imagine what would be the practical, day-to-day reality of having, like an Orthrus, a dog's body but a snake for a tail.
You take a lot of inspiration from your hometown…ever seen any monsters or mythical creatures lurking?
I'm not allowed say, for fear of libelling someone! But writing is often a game of "what ifs". What if my town had been invaded by monsters of myth for a thousand years? What if you had to fight off invading minotaurs and then go back to school? Again, I'm lazy. This approach works for me.
(Note from Fiona: I wish my laziness was this productive. When I'm lazy, I tend to binge watch Pretty Little Liars, rather than casually penning a bestselling book series)
The latest instalment of the series, Worlds Explode, has just hit bookshelves, what should we expect from Finn and the gang this time around?
The first book is about Finn living in the shadow of his dad, but the second is about how he has to cope when his dad isn't around. It's also a glimpse into the world of the monsters, which was always the plan from the very beginning, but also turns out to be just what the readers were asking for. As it's only just out, the reviews are only coming in. I met one boy who said it was the best book he had ever read. That boy happens to be my son, and I was buying him ice-cream at the time, but still…
What is it like to have kids sharing your stories and loving them so much?
(Note from Fiona: Can you hear the innate jealousy in this question?)
I've four kids, but only my 10-year-old son is old enough to read and enjoy the stories. The best bit of the whole adventure for me was the night he wouldn't turn his light out because he needed to read on and see what happened. That was a relief. I've to write four of these books and if my own son didn't enjoy them it was going to be a long few years.
James, I am completely obsessed with your illustrations. Where do you get your inspiration from?
My main inspiration is from the writing! There is of course a mixture of influences from favourite illustrators such as EH Shepard, Chris Riddell, Edward Gorey, Mervyn Peake, Helen Oxenbury, John Burningham, plus any number of movies, TV shows, etc., but the more vivid the writing, the more vivid the images are in my head, same with any reader. I just go one step further and draw what I see.
Do you have a favourite illustration from the Darkmouth series? Why?
I'm quite keen on one from Darkmouth: Worlds Explode in which Finn is inside a room made entirely from the bones of demonic beasts (being careful with spoilers here because spoilers). It's a tense moment in the story and the effect of the starched, whiteness of the remains comes over reasonably well. Essentially it's one of those rare illustrations of mine I don't mind looking at for more than five seconds.
If you could be a Legend, what kind of Legend do you think you'd be?
My kids think I'm a legend already so I know how that feels. Not going to last forever probably. Although if you pushed me I'd have to say something with wings. Who'd want to be a Legend if you were stuck on the ground, especially if it was infested?
What drew you to the Darkmouth series?
The concept, as it was initially described, was simple and I just thought "I'd draw that". Then by the time I'd read a couple of excerpts (I was requested to do a couple of character sketches) the dialogue in particular showed me this was going to be good. Finn was instantly likeable, and I think that's a difficult trick to pull off so quickly. Even though I had a worryingly full schedule at the time (always a good problem) I didn't want to let this one slip away.
Where can we find more of your work?
I've done plenty of Spy Dog books which are widely available; I've done some Terry Deary World War Tales recently and have lots of covers to do for him over the next few weeks; Archie Greene is a magical series with book #1 already out there; also Myth Raiders, a series whose concept is not totally dissimilar to Darkmouth, but with a different tenor; there are other things scattered around too, and the list is building nicely. I remember thinking none of this would ever be possible.
You can find Shane on Twitter @ShaneHegarty and James @PencilsMcDraw.

The Zillo Beast was a semi-sapient reptilian-insectoid species endemic to the planet Malastare. In ancient times, these gargantuan creatures preyed upon a native indigenous species, the Dugs. However, the Dugs gradually gained the upper hand and slowly eradicated the Zillo Beasts through various methods, including drilling for fuel in their habitats. By the time of the Clone Wars, it was widely believed that the creatures were extinct, although it was rumored that at least one had survived.
During the Battle of Malastare, the Galactic Republic deployed an electro-proton bomb which immobilized a substantial Separatist invasion force of battle droids. However, the bomb's tremors inadvertently awakened the last Zillo Beast which went on a destructive rampage. Fearing an apocalypse, the Dugs demanded that the Republic exterminate the beast to which the Republic reluctantly agreed. Seeking to obtain the creature for scientific research, Supreme Chancellor Palpatine and Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker covertly arranged for the beast to be immobilized by several stun tanks, giving the appearance that it had been killed.
This action succeeded in both rendering the Zillo Beast unconscious, and appeasing the Dugs who believed it to be dead. In return, the Dug Council and the Republic ratified The Treaty of Malastare that allowed the Republic access to the planet's fuel reserves. The Zillo Beast was shipped to the galactic capital, Coruscant for scientific study but escaped after arrival, putting the lives of millions of residents at risk and forcing the Jedi into action. They eventually managed to kill the Zillo beast, but its body was kept and Palpatine ordered an attempt to clone it.
Characteristics[edit | edit source]
At 97 meters long, the Zillo Beasts were gargantuan creatures that dwarfed many other objects and most living organisms in both size and mass in their environment. They had a roughly serpentine body with a long tail that trailed behind its form. It uniquely possessed a third arm protruding from its back. Its plate-like armor was virtually impenetrable to explosives, blasterfire and even lightsaber strikes.
Despite these advantages, a flaw in its protective armor, a small unprotected gap between the plates, allowed some attacks to penetrate and harm the creature. On one occasion, this gap gave enough space for a well-placed energy beam from a stun tank to render the beast unconscious. A Zillo beast could also be killed by poisoning it with Malastare fuel. This fuel contained toxins that made it an effective method that the Dugs used for many years.
The eyes of the Zillo beast glowed a pale yellow-green at all times and its nostrils were located on the top of its skull.
It appeared to have some form of rudimentary intellect, capable of recognizing facial features when hunting for Palpatine, and also capable of recognizing the intent behind words, even though it likely could not understand their precise meaning. It also had a sense of vengeance, as it tore its way through Coruscant simply to find and kill Palpatine, who had ordered its death.
History[edit | edit source]
The Zillo Beasts were once the dominant species of the planet Malastare and preyed on the indigenous sentient Dugs in ancient times. Over time, the Dugs began drilling their world for fuel which gradually culminated in the near extinction of the species due to a loss of habitat. The ancient Dugs were known to have cataloged a list of weaknesses in the creatures, including their vulnerability to fuel due to its flammability and to poisons in the fuel lethal to the Zillo Beasts.
During the Sacking of Coruscant in 3653 BBY, the Sith Lord Darth Malgus visited the office of the then defunct Supreme Chancellor. In his office he found a statue he suspected was made of Zillo Beast bones. However, he had only heard rumors of the animals.
Eventually, it was believed that the species had been eradicated, though it was prophesied that one such creature still survived and would emerge in the future to destroy them. Thus, the Dugs passed down a manuscript through the generations in order to prepare their descendants for such a day. During the Clone Wars, Malastare faced the threat of a Separatist invasion in 21 BBY which sought access to its substantial fuel reserves.
In response, the Galactic Republic dispatched a sizable army of clone troopers to secure the key Republic world's fuel reserves and to recruit the Dugs as allies. This mission was overseen by the Jedi Order which sent Jedi Master Mace Windu and Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker to lead the campaign. However, the sheer number of battle droids on the planet led to Supreme Chancellor Palpatine authorizing the deployment of a new weapon—the electro-proton bomb. The weapon successfully obliterated the droid army but inadvertently awakened the last Zillo Beast, which wreaked havoc among the survivors of the battle.
Panicked, the Dugs made preparations to slay the creature and demanded that the Republic assist them, otherwise, Malastare would not ratify the treaty that would allow its fuel reserves to be used for the war effort. However, Master Windu refused to support this action, as he regarded this as the murder of an innocent life-form. Despite his protestations, the Chancellor publicly supported the action, but secretly sought to capture the beast alive for scientific research.
A scientific adviser close to him intended to study the Zillo Beast's impervious hide and replicate it synthetically for the Grand Army of the Republic's benefit. At the suggestion of Skywalker, Palpatine agreed to conduct an elaborate attack designed to stun the Zillo Beast using particle cannon fire, which would penetrate the gaps in its armor and render it unconscious. Once stunned, the Zillo Beast would appear dead enough to appease the Dugs and allow for the signing of the treaty. Once in a coma, the creature was to be transported to an undisclosed peaceful world in the Outer Rim where it could be studied and then released back into the wild.
However, the Dugs were already prepared to slay the creature and began dumping fuel into the pit where it was located in order to kill it. This act only enraged the beast, driving it to emerge from its pit and it wreaked untold devastation on both the Dugs and Republic forces. However, the use of the stun tank's power beam enabled the Jedi to knock out the creature.
With the treaty signed, the Zillo Beast's body awaited transportation but Chancellor Palpatine ordered a change in plans. Instead of being taken to its secret Outer Rim destination, the scientists wanted the specimen studied in a contained environment. Thus, it was agreed for the creature to be taken to the galactic capital Coruscant, where preparations were made for its arrival.
Creating havoc[edit | edit source]
After the Zillo Beast was transported to Coruscant, it was studied by Dr. Sionver Boll. Chancellor Palpatine oversaw the operation, and he ordered the doctor to kill it, so that they could extract the beast's scales for study. Seeing this from its prison, the Zillo Beast growled fiercely and glared at the Chancellor with unfettered rage. In addition, the Zillo Beast also sensed Palpatine's true nature as a Sith. The doctor reluctantly accepted her orders and produced gas from Malastarian fuel, which had, according to the Dugs, already been successfully used to subdue, and even kill, Zillo Beasts. As it was sprayed with the gas, the Zillo Beast went berserk at exposure to the gas, and managed to break out of its restraints, and escaped the building in which it had been held. It rampaged around Coruscant, killing hundreds, if not thousands, of innocents before charging towards the Senate, intent on revenge upon Palpatine for ordering its execution. Although the Beast eventually had the Chancellor's ship in its grasp, action on the part of Anakin Skywalker ensured that Palpatine escaped. The beast was killed by the Republic working with the Jedi, using flares to make it roar so missiles full of the poison could be shot into its mouth. The monster's huge body finally toppled from the Senate Building dead, paying the ultimate price for the mistakes of Palpatine and others in power. After its death, the Zillo Beast's body was sent back to the Doctor with her new orders—orders to clone the Zillo Beast.
Notes[edit | edit source]
- The vocalizations of the Zillo Beast are mixtures of Horses, Lions, and Bobcats.

Marketing the Science: the new marketing challenge
16 Nov 2005|Added Value
Understanding the science behind product claims seems the least desirable activity for marketers, but that is exactly what is required to create desirable brands.
Great brands own and define emotion – they inspire desire. And that's not just luxury goods, every choice we make is driven by our emotional reaction. Let's face it, we don't stand in our grocery aisles weighing up the functional pros and cons of every choice, we just 'pick what we want'. One could argue that habit is actually just 'desire' becoming everyday – a shortcut to our choices.
But what makes brands desirable? All marketers know the basic answers – a combination of functional and emotional benefits that make the brand relevant, motivating, differentiated and credible. Communication agencies deliver the emotion; the R&D team delivers the functional benefit. The world over, products are being turned into brands by taking something practical and building an emotional benefit.
FMCG Marketing used to be straightforward – pick a functional claim that's motivating, ownable and relevant to your audience and talk about it a lot… 'the whitest whites', 'the creamiest taste', 'made with real fruit' etc – then concentrate on building a brand image that resonates with your target consumer. But along with increased accountability, an explosion of choice, shrinking budgets, brand rationalizations and centralization of marketing strategy, another shift has occurred.
Now we are hearing about provitamins, isotonic drinks, xylitol, and even L-casei immunitas, that most unlikely of consumer lingo. Now, rather than being just in clothes (lycra) or homeware (Teflon) the 'science stuff' is in our food, our drinks, our grocery essentials.
What began as an insipid creep of science into marketing-speak is becoming a flood, and with the pressure for ever more differentiated innovation and advertising claims that are defendable to the ASA, it seems that the need for ever more ownable science-based product claims is here to stay.
The Marketers' Challenge
So how do we, as marketers, deal with science – in our concepts, in our pack claims, in our advertising? How do we learn to understand and leverage product ingredients that even a Latin professor would struggle to pronounce?
Currently there's two ways to do that – either you listen to consumers and write a brief to R&D to find new ways to deliver 'whiter whites' or 'crunchier when dunked', then just go with that claim when you can support it, or you wait for a serendipitous discovery by R&D and relaunch with their new formula and the claim they tell you Regulatory Affairs have approved.
But there's a third way, on that I'd argue is surely the only route to long term success – to embrace the role of the marketer as a translator of functional features into benefits the consumer finds simple to understand and motivating.
This means we can't just sit back and take what R&D tells us. Nor can we just stick with what the consumer says they want. Neither of those will take us beyond the obvious and create real differentiation for our brands.
The goal is to really start innovating around product claims, get 'down and dirty' with the science behind your product so that you can come up with innovative ways to express that science – ways that really connect with the consumer, create a sense of 'wow' and build a connection that turns into desire.
Some brands are already on the right road, and we can learn from them…
1) Brands that make it simple: they make an existing product claim much more consumer friendly
- Johnson's Baby shampoo talks of 'as gentle to the eyes as water' not just 'pH neutral' to substantiate 'No More Tears'
- Shreddies is 'releasing energy slowly' rather than 'made with complex carbohydrates'
- Yakult with 'friendly bacteria' not 'Lactobacillus casei Shirota'
2) Brands that make it better: they apply science to solving big consumer needs but then leave the science in the lab
- The 'widget' revolution in beer – simply explained, no scientific waffle
- Frizz Ease – focus on hair benefit not the science in the product
3) Brands that know their enemy: they take an 'anti-science' stand to champion consumer simplicity
- Anchor Spreadable – 'unless you like eating colouring E160a and Emulsifier E471 maybe you could do with a change'
- Birds Eye – 'we don't play with our food'
Justifying Scientific Language
What about all the brands who do use the scientific jargon? This is where the real challenge lies, to strike the delicate balance of simple but worthwhile consumer claims.
There are many reasons used to justify scientific language, but in Added Value's experience, only three reasons make for good marketing:
- If it is an evocative name that helps the consumer understand what the benefit is (eg. Nutrileum for anti-frizz effect – L'Oreal Elvive)
- If your target market already recognises these kinds of terms and expects that level of explanation (eg. 'contains a gentle probiotic for kids' – Munch Bunch Drinky +)
- If you are creating a new type of claim and consumers need a 'credibility assurance' beyond just the benefit, and it would make sense to 'educated' consumers (eg Lucozade Sport Hydroactive – replaces essential salts encouraging better hydration)
And here are the reasons that don't stand up in court:
- "We're required by law to state the active ingredient" – great, but it's not the claim, put it on the back of the pack. Eg. phenylalanine in drinks
- "It sounds 'scientific' and so reinforces our claim" – since when has giving the consumer useless information ever been good marketing? Eg. Salicylic Acid in skin care, not something consumers know about.
- "Our competitors say it so we should" – only valid if consumers already understand it.
- "We got good clinical trial results on this ingredient so people should find it motivating" – what's in it for the consumer? Maybe no-one cares.
The common themes here are credibility and understanding.
In most cases, the science behind functional differentiation can remain hidden – consumers don't need to know how it happens, they are not interested. This works if the end benefit is clear and credible and instantly motivating. No questions asked. We don't care how our cold beer happens, as long as it does.
However, in many cases the credibility is just not there, as consumers evaluate products based on their current frame of reference of what's achievable, and easily disbelieve loose claims or claims that are too stretchy, both on the basis of their previous experience.
So it's not enough to just say (or imply) yoghurts are good for you, or this shampoo makes your hair shiny, or this cereal will help your heart. Consumers tune out to all these claims They either become rejected or become 'tablestakes' and brands are left with the challenge of introducing new exciting benefits to grab consumers attention. And with these new benefits comes the credibility hurdle.
Ten Key Principles
So what do marketers need to do differently to get this balance of credibility and understanding right, and leverage their product's science to create real brand differentiation and desire?
Added Value's innovation and brand positioning work with some of the best brand-led businesses globally has highlighted ten key principles that could help every marketer get more out of the science behind their brands
1) Know your audience
Þ Use smart consumer insight to understand what they know already and where your boundaries of understanding and credibility are.
2) Build on what they know
Þ Don't try to correct consumers, it will only leave them confused – if a big myth exists, find a way to side step it and allow the consumer to reappraise their beliefs without talking down to them.
3) Focus on a consumer relevant benefit
Þ Deliver against a benefit that really matters and is motivating, either that the consumer expects today, or would be delighted by tomorrow. If not, don't kid yourself they'll be interested.
4) Get creative
Þ Analogies are not just for advertising – get creative with ways to communicate the benefit, don't stop at its identification. This 'expression' should be simply, clear, and instantly resonate with consumers, and lies at the core of a great concept.
5) Use science language sparingly
Þ Use the golden rules of science language identified about – credibility & understanding.
6) Optimise naming
Þ Sometimes naming helps you 'own' a benefit, but beware of creating brand-specific language for something other brands can copy, you'll only confuse consumers – keep it simple and descriptive. And generally, stop at just naming – branding an ingredient is a whole different ballgame and only applies if it's a joint venture with a different competence (eg neutraceutical inclusions) or if you plan to put the ingredient in many other products (eg Lycra, Nutrasweet)
7) Seek proof
Þ Make sure all claims can be substantiated in the eyes of the Advertising Standards Authority.
8) Avoid side effects
Þ Assume that 'the truth will out' – don't go with a product change that has a potential negative side effect that could alarm or confuse consumers. This can sometimes mean avoiding benefits that cause other issues (eg vitamin enriched but double the fat), unless handled carefully and honestly.
9) Road-test it
Þ Get diagnostic in your research, use consumers to help develop and build ideas, not just evaluate them. Bring it to life for them, even with mocked-up PR or communications. Closer you get to real-world, the better your insight will be.
10) Use 360' marketing
Þ Credibility is not just about awareness, it's about increasing consumer faith that what you say is the truth – think endorsements, websites, sponsorships, PR, and best of all product sampling that demonstrates the benefits.
Call to action
For marketers then, the challenge is clear – get close to your consumers AND get close to the science that makes your products work. Fuse the two to create innovative and differentiating new benefits, and most importantly, be the translator to make these clear, simple and motivating to your consumers. Building this flow, from scientific truth to the consumer's cupboard, is the key to building desire for your brands, today, and tomorrow.

Wounded Kashmiris Blocked from Medical Help During Clashes: Rights Group
By Nita Bhalla
NEW DELHI, Dec 6 – Indian security forces in Kashmir blocked medical care for injured protesters by firing on ambulances, holding up emergency vehicles and preying on hospital patients during clashes in the restive region this year, a health rights group said on Tuesday.
At least 80 civilians were killed and more than 10,000 wounded in almost five months of clashes between protesters and security forces, sparked by the killing of a leading separatist militant in a joint army and police operation on July 8.
Physicians for Human Rights (PHR) said not only did police and paramilitary forces use excessive force during the unrest, they also delayed wounded people seeking medical attention, increasing the likelihood of permanent injuries and deaths.
"Such delays in care are violations of the longstanding protections afforded to medical workers and facilities in times of conflict and civil unrest," said Widney Brown, director of programs for PHR, a New York-headquartered advocacy group.
"What's more, the doctors we interviewed said police were present in their hospitals, intimidating patients and monitoring those being admitted."
The report also said security forces harassed medical workers attempting to treat protesters and prevented doctors from reaching the hospitals where they work.
Police in Kashmir said they would respond to the allegations once they had studied the PHR report.
Kashmir is at the centre of a decades-old rivalry between India and Pakistan, which rules a northwestern section of the divided region, and backed an insurgency in the late 1980s and 1990s that Indian security forces largely crushed.
The unrest, sparked by the killing of Burhan Wani, a popular separatist militant leader, is the worst in the Muslim-majority Himalayan region for six years, and critics accuse Indian security forces of heavy-handedness in quelling the protests.
Many of those killed in the clashes died from shotgun pellets or rifle bullets fired by police and paramilitary troops. Hundreds of bystanders were blinded by the pellet rounds, the report said.
While Indian authorities say the use of such weapons was meant to reduce the potential for injuries or fatalities, PHR found that their use actually caused serious injury and death.
Police in Kashmir say pellet guns are non-lethal weapons but they have been fired from short distances in "unavoidable circumstances" when protesters target security forces.
PHR's report – based on hospital records and interviews with doctors, witnesses and victims – found police used 12-gauge shotguns loaded with metal pellets that directly caused an estimated 5,200 injuries and at least a dozen deaths.
"Injuries inflicted by 'less than lethal' weapons like pellets, rubber bullets, and shot guns require early medical intervention to avoid permanent or debilitating injury, including loss of life," said the report.
"In Kashmir, delays in accessing medical care for hundreds of injured protesters increased the risk of permanent damage, including for those with eye injuries."

A public hearing is for a "best interest " finding to determine if the sale is in the state's interest is scheduled for next month. [kska's ellen lockyer has more]
Bill Cole, with DNR's mining section, says the potential lease sale has been prompted by the request of an interested party, the Alaska Energy Company.
"The reason that this decision has been written, again it is a preliminary decision, is that we did receive a request from a company wanting coal leases over specific ground in that area which is described in the decision, and we have looked at that in response to their request and written this preliminary decision. " he said.
The area, called the Canyon Creek lease, is located about 18 miles from Skewntna near Shell Lake. The potential coal lease area has been surveyed for mineral quality, and is rated as high potential, Cole says.
A public hearing for the Canyon Creek Competitive Coal Lease Sale will be held Tuesday, November 13, at Wendler Middle School in Anchorage from 6:30 to 9:00 pm.
"We're having the public meeting as a matter of public outreach and public participation. It's a opportunity for the public to come and ask questions and also for the public to give testimony with regard to this decision," Cole said.
The public is invited to comment on the preliminary decision for the Canyon Creek Lease Sale. In order to be considered, comments must be in writing or by email, or by testimony at the public hearing. Deadline for comments is November 21.

MUMBAI: Actress Yami Gautam finds portraying an intimate scene on screen as the most unromantic thing. Yami, 27, will be seen in the upcoming film "Junooniyat", a love story, romancing her rumoured boyfriend Pulkit Samrat.
"To do a romantic scene is the most unromantic thing to do on screen. Also, we shot in adverse weather conditions like extreme cold situations. Our respect for all those actors who shoot in difficult weather conditions as it is not easy," said Yami.
The "Vicky Donor" actress feels it is essential to share a good equation with the co-star in the film.
"I think a good rapport is required between actors for any film. It is always nice and it works," she said.
But at the same time, the actress feels one shouldn't just focus on creating a chemistry on screen.
"If you think you have to get the chemistry right then it doesn't work. The moment you think mechanical, it doesn't work," she said.
Yami and Pulkit earlier worked together in film "Sanam Re". Now they are looking forward to "Junooniyat" that releases on June 17.
"I think we as a pair worked in 'Sanam Re'. We got the appreciation, we take it as a compliment. We don't know what will happen in future with this film ('Junooniyat')," Yami said.
"Junooniyat" is directed by Vivek Agnihotri and produced by Bhushan Kumar under the banner of T-Series.

Review: this column is dedicated to natural products that sensitive people may enjoy. Featuring products that are ethically made without synthetic ingredients, and/or as a bonus, are sustainably sourced and/or are run by small-business owners.
Basically, I got tired of my drug store brand deodorants and antiperspirants. They left a residue, discolored my clothing, and while they mostly did the job, I do get a rash from time to time. I'm slowly removing all synthetic elements from what I wear/eat/drink because I'm pretty sure many of these things can't be good in the long run. (…Slowly, because often, 'natural'/organic things can cost so much more – but that's a whole other post on its own.)
I'll like to start off by saying that none of these natural deodorants gave me any discomfort at all. No itch, no stinging even after applying it on freshly shaved pits.
According to Jessica of OdetteAndJoni, some people experience a little discomfort or redness when switching to natural deodorants that contain baking soda – something to do with the pH level of the skin. She recommends dabbing a vinegar solution (1:1 vinegar & water) with a cotton swab, allowing it to dry, then applying the deodorant. Within a week or less, the discomfort should disappear.
Before we dive in, here are some thoughts about armpits:
- Sweating is normal and healthy. I've often used antiperspirants because I am just not fond of that sweaty feeling, but the sweat still has to come out SOMEWHERE. Sweating helps cool the body and remove toxins. It makes sense and I have decided to live with it. (Isn't it crazy how often we have to feel embarrassed by our natural body processes?! ) I understand though, if you're working in some profession where visibly sweating isn't really the best (e.g. if you're a server bending over people constantly), antiperspirants could still be your choice.
- Say no to aluminum? The controversy surrounding antiperspirants concerns the aluminum that's found in it, with some sources claiming that it's related to breast cancer and dementia, among other things. While this has been mostly unsubstantiated thus far (depending on who you ask!), some prefer to avoid the risk.
- How you smell = what you eat. On days if you don't want to smell especially ripe, you could try limiting heavy spices and condiments, or these other kinds of foods. (Though I really love food too much to really do anything about this.)
- Switching may cause a reaction. To avoid this, you could let your armpit 'rest' by not applying anything for 2-3 days before trying out a new natural deodorant.
- You could also detox your armpits. Which supposedly helps get rid of all the synthetic ingredients your body absorbed through commercial deodorants.
- Seriously sweating buckets? If you're sweating a lot, this may be a sign of hyperhidrosis, which can be caused by factors like hormonal changes.
- Have long pit hair? If you're growing out your pit hair, solid/stick deodorants may not be for you. You may prefer liquid roll-ons to get the deodorant close enough to your skin for it to work, or those that you can apply with your finger.
- Remove waxy residue. Any deodorant containing beeswax leaves a residue buildup over time and can end up blocking your pores. To remove it, simply use any scrub, a baking soda solution, or apply a little petroleum jelly on your pits before showering.
For all of the samples below, I tested them all through various scenarios – overnight, a regular day at work/school which involves a fair bit of walking around the city, and a typical yoga class. Do note that it IS winter here so I am definitely not sweating as I would in the summer.
Eldridge Organics
Fir Needle & Lavender Deodorant
US$10, 2oz
organic coconut oil, organic arrowroot powder, organic mango butter, beeswax, baking soda, organic fir needle essential oil, organic lavender essential oil
What I love: The heavenly scent. The smell of fir trees makes me extraordinarily happy. It also comes in a paper tube, making it the most environmentally-friendly of the bunch.
Does it work? Yes, for a couple of hours. Definitely not an extensive workout on a hot summer's day kind of deodorant. I also found that this seems to leave the most beeswax residue of the bunch.
Overall: Okay for a general day-to-day light coverage. Love the paper tube, but you may want to avoid handling with wet hands.
Fat and the Moon
$5, 0.5oz
coconut oil*, baking soda (aluminum free), arrowroot starch*, beeswax, essential oils of black pepper*, clary sage*, bergamot*, tea tree*, grapefruit*
What I love: The scent – smells fresh, and is barely detectable after it goes on. It feels a little greasy to the touch but doesn't feel greasy at all after application.
Does it work? Yes, although you do have to get a decent pea-sized amount and cover the entire area well – but that's also true of all the creams that come in tubs.
Overall: I like it. The small tub also makes it a great size to test out whether baking soda deodorants work for you.
US$5, 0.5oz
coconut oil*, arrowroot starch*, magnesium hydroxide (aka milk of magnesia), beeswax, essential oils of basil* & vetiver*
What I love: No baking soda, and is super gentle as promised. Greasy to the touch, but doesn't feel greasy at all after application – barely-there sensation, no residue.
Does it work? I sweat a bunch during yoga but this kept the worst at bay.
Overall: Recommended – I found myself gravitating towards this one after testing them all out. Mostly because I'm partial to the scent of basil & vetiver!
Odette and Joni
US$8, 2oz
Cocoa Butter, Coconut Oil, Baking Soda, Arrowroot Flour, Kaolin Clay, Sunflower Oil, Shea Butter, All Organic
What I love: Has a barely detectable scent, great for those who aren't a fan of scented things. Contains Kaolin Clay which is supposed to be great for nourishing and purifying the skin, and also helps to manage moisture. Triple deodorizing power of Baking Soda + Clay + Arrowroot flour.
Does it work? Yes. Also held up well during a sweaty yoga class!
Overall: Recommended – this also offers the most bang for your buck.
Emily's Homestead
Sensitive Skin Probiotic Deodorant
$4.75, 0.75oz twist-up tube
shea butter, beeswax, avocado oil, sunflower oil, cocoa butter, arrowroot powder, shelf stable probiotics, vitamin e oil, magnesium oil
What I love: It's unscented, and will be suitable for those who are sensitive to scents of all kind. Since sweat is basically odorless (unless you're eating a lot of foods that can contribute to body odor), and odor is exacerbated by bacteria that's on your skin, the probiotic promises to nix this problem by regulating and discouraging the growth of bad bacteria. Also love the easy-to-handle packaging.
Does it work? Yes. The probiotic + magnesium oil combination seemed to work like a charm for me.
Overall: I like this for easy application! Recommended for those sensitive to baking soda.
P.S. I received these free samples in exchange for an unbiased review.
While I sampled only five, there are really a ton of other natural deodorants out there – a friend swears by the Arm & Hammer one while I've also tried the Crystal Salt deodorant. The salt one did not work so great for me – just an hour or two of protection before it wore off.
Do you use a natural deodorant? Which one do you swear by? Let me know in the comments!

England stars Moeen Ali and Adil Rashid been briefed about possible threats against Muslims in India
Security chief Reg Dickason says he has had talks with spin duo on potential issues in the country
MOEEN ALI and Adil Rashid have been briefed about possible threats against Muslims in India.
The England team landed in Mumbai yesterday for their five-Test series against the world's No 1 team.
And England security chief Reg Dickason says he has had talks with spin duo Moeen and Rashid on potential issues in the country.
Keep up to date with ALL the latest Cricket news, gossip and rumours
The Hindu nationalist party Shiv Sena has already held demonstrations against Pakistani umpire Aleem Dar officiating in the series.
Dar will not appear and the ICC insists he was always rostered instead for the Australia-South Africa series. Dickason said: "Shiv Sena had some issues with Aleem and went to the BCCI offices in Mumbai. We're certainly aware of that but don't expect any real issues.
"I've spoken to Moeen and Adil and they seem OK to me. They haven't expressed any doubts, but it's certainly much better if the group stays as a group."
Alastair Cook's side will be surrounded by another strong security blanket during their seven-week stay. Between 1,400 and 2,000 cops a day protected the team during their series in Bangladesh.
And while there will not be the same number on duty in India, there will be armed outriders, police and troops following England's players wherever they go.
Dickason added: "India will be similar to Bangladesh but a different layout. It won't be as overt in India.
"The road clearances that we had in Bangladesh are usually reserved for heads of state. We probably won't get that in India but we'll get adequate transit protection.
"It all went very smoothly in Bangladesh and there were no breaches of security."

Kitces: Protecting ETFs in a Crash
Show more sharing options
Share Show more sharing options
Now with more than $2 trillion in assets, ETFs have become hugely popular — yet, ironically, the ability to trade them intraday has become a liability, with market volatility triggering a number of extreme situations in which ETFs have briefly traded at significant discounts to their NAV — in some cases, as much as 30%.
This may be of small consequence for buy-and-hold clients and their advisors, who did not trade during the recent price swings. But it highlights that, when ETFs experience bouts of illiquidity, they can trade at steep discounts. And this can be disconcerting for clients who need to trade during such market volatility — especially when they have a trade unwittingly triggered by the ill-advised use of a stop-loss market order.
At a minimum, those who make use of stop-loss orders as a form of risk management may want to consider using stop-loss limit orders instead. While the stop-loss trade will still be triggered when the stock price declines to a certain level, the corresponding use of a limit order — set at a small gap below the stop-loss threshold — ensures that a sale is not triggered at the nadir of a flash crash price.
While mutual fund buyers and sellers don't need to worry about whether a trade will be executed at the representative price tied to the underlying shares, ETF owners do. The funds are technically traded as a wrapper around the underlying securities, meaning the price can differ from the NAV.
In practice, the actual market price for most ETFs rarely deviates much from its underlying intraday NAV. The reason is that any material deviation between the two creates an arbitrage opportunity.
If an ETF is valued at a material premium above its NAV, an arbitrageur can buy all the underlying stocks, exchange them with an authorized participant to create a share of the ETF and then sell the ETF for an immediate profit.
Conversely, if the ETF is priced at a discount, the arbitrageur would buy the ETF, redeem it with an authorized participant and immediately sell the underlying stocks to earn a profit.
A crucial caveat is that the arbitrage process works only if both the ETF and the underlying securities are liquid. Buying the ETF at a discount in order to redeem and sell the underlying securities isn't risk-free arbitrage if the underlying securities can't be sold. Instead, the prospective arbitrageur would have to sit on them for an unknown period of time (or vice versa by buying the stocks to create an ETF but then being unable to sell the ETF itself).
The critical point is that, over the long run, ETFs are only as liquid as their underlying securities, since the creation and redemption process will necessarily be constrained by the liquidity of the fund's underlying holdings.
In addition, because liquidity most commonly vanishes during times of market distress, the resulting lack of transparent pricing around the ETF and the ongoing selling pressure is highly likely to result in a downward gap — that is, the ETF will trade at a potentially significant discount to its NAV.
In recent months, a number of organizations, including Morningstar, have been sounding alarms that investors might be counting too heavily on ETF liquidity and forgetting that periods of illiquidity can take place as well.
Unfortunately, the ETF volatility on Aug. 24 proved the point. On that day, for short periods of time, certain ETFs traded at dramatic discounts.
The iShares Select Dividend ETF (DVY) plummeted as much as 35%, even though its worst-performing underlying stocks were down only about 11%.
That same day, the Guggenheim S&P 500 Equal-Weighted ETF (RSP) was off 42%, and the iShares Conservative Allocation Fund (AOK) was off 50% at one point.
For most investors, avoiding unfavorable ETF trades when the market is volatile is pretty straightforward: Just don't trade. The price distortions that occurred corrected themselves in a matter of hours, once the arbitrageurs were able to begin the normal process of helping the ETF price converge on its underlying NAV.
But advisors who used stop-loss orders to limit their clients' risk encountered a bigger problem. Unless specified otherwise, a stop-loss order becomes a market order once the stop-price threshold is triggered, which meant some advisors found themselves executing orders to sell at the market's open.
In a normal environment, stop-loss orders aren't necessarily a problem.
Imagine an advisor whose clients own shares of an ETF trading at $55 per share. To protect the investment, the advisor enters stop-loss orders at $50 per share. When ETF prices decline in a continuous series of one-cent increments, the stock is simply sold as soon as the $50 threshold is reached, likely at a price of $49.99.
However, when the price of a security gaps downward and an ETF crash occurs, there may be a different outcome. If the previous closing price was $51, and the investment opens the next morning around 10% lower, a stop-loss market order will result in a sale at the $46 opening price, even if that price is in effect for only a few seconds until the arbitrageurs correct it. That is exactly what happened to some investors on Aug. 24.
The solution to this dilemma is for advisors to use a stop- loss limit order, with the limit order price set slightly lower than the stop-loss threshold.
For instance, instead of placing a stop-loss (market) order for $50, the advisor might place a stop-loss limit order with the stop set at $50 but the limit order at $48.
This way, if the ETF falls slowly, the order will still be executed just below $50, but if the ETF price crashes, the order won't be triggered until the ETF recovers above $48, avoiding a badly timed sale during ETF illiquidity.
When it comes to dealing with individual stocks, there has always been an issue between balancing the risk of using a stop-loss market order and a stop-limit order, where if the stock gaps down and keeps falling, the trade might not be executed, ever, and the investor could ride the stock all the way down. But using stop-loss orders with ETFs is fundamentally different from stocks, since a stock can lose all of its value and sink to zero, which is virtually impossible for a diversified basket of stocks.
The implication is that advisors and investors who might have been wary of using stop-limit orders for stocks should still consider them as a best practice for their ETFs.
How wide should the gap be between the stop-loss threshold and the underlying limit order? While there's no clear rule on this, it has been rare for an index to gap down more than 10%, suggesting that a 10% gap might be reasonable. Advisors who want tighter thresholds, or perhaps are more optimistic that a sharp sell-off will be met by a sharp bounce, might set a limit-order target at just 5% below the stop-loss threshold.
The goal is to create a stop-limit gap that is wide enough so that, if an ETF declines gradually, the limit order will still trigger.
If the price of the ETF drops precipitously, however, the trade won't execute until the price rebounds. Of course, for advisors and their clients who trade actively, managing risk through stop-loss orders may be unappealing.
But for those who do use stop-loss orders, a stop-loss limit order to guard against a badly timed execution seems advisable. For those who are truly long-term investors and don't need to sell in a market downdraft, ETF price plunges may be an opportunity to buy at a deep discount.

That might sound a bit grandiose to some. But, honestly…if something's true, I don't really care how it sounds.
And, the truth is I understand what makes VR porn movies horny or corny… okay, that was a cheap fail of a comedic rhyme, but I never said I was Rod Dangerfield, man!
These are the foundational pieces:
- The FindVRporn Positioning Checklist
- The FindVRporn Positioning Checklist Part 2
- Sense of Spatial Correctness supplement
- Missionary Supplement.
- Doggy Supplement
- BJ Supplement

- Part 2: A VR porn plot with some power
- What is the VR porn horny Gestalt?
