Case-Shiller home prices continue to move gradually higher, up 0.5 percent for August's 20-city adjusted index. The year-on-year rate of 5.9 percent is a 3-year high. The report shows broad-based strength: San Diego up 1.0 percent in the month, Charlotte and Las Vegas both up 0.9 percent, and Cleveland up 0.8 percent. Seattle is far out in front on a yearly basis, up 13.3 percent with most of the 20 cities in the mid-to-high single digits and with Washington DC in the rear at 3.4 percent.The FHFA house price index has been showing a bit more strength than Case-Shiller but it's the trends of the two reports that's important, and that is climbing. Home price appreciation is an increasingly important source of household wealth in what has been a low interest rate, low wage growth economy.
Consensus Outlook
Case-Shiller home prices moved higher in July and more of the same, following strength in the prior week's FHFA house price index, is expected for September. Econoday's consensus is calling for a 0.5 percent gain in the 20-city adjusted index on top of July's 0.7 percent rise. August is a busy month for home sales and is reflected in the consensus for the unadjusted monthly index which is slightly higher, at 0.6 percent gain. The year-on-year rate is seen up 2 tenths to 6.0 percent.

Sleep is an effect players or monsters may encounter in NetHack. While asleep, you are immobilized for a number of turns. Sleep resistance prevents this from happening. As of Nethack 3.6: You hear sounds are prefaced with "You dream that".
Ways to fall asleep
- Drink or be hit by a potion of sleeping
- Be zapped by a wand of sleep
- Be hit by a sleep spell
- Put on an amulet of restful sleep
- Step on a sleeping gas trap
- Be attacked by a homunculus or hit by the sleeping breath of the orange dragon, Nazgul, or the Chromatic Dragon. Magic cancellation protects against the sleep-inducing homunculus bite.
Free action prevents sleep from potions of sleeping only.
Sleeping monsters
Some of the above events can also affect monsters, and some monsters (notably nymphs) are generated sleeping. Monsters affected by sleep attacks will sleep for a number of turns and then wake up. Those generated asleep will only wake up when you approach (if you do not have stealth) or attack them.

If we have a function in base class and a function with same name in derived class, can the base class function be called from derived class object? This is an interesting question and as an experiment predict the output of the following C++ program.
#include <iostream> using namespace std; class Base { public: int f(int i) { cout << "f(int): "; return i+3; } }; class Derived : public Base { public: double f(double d) { cout << "f(double): "; return d+3.3; } }; int main() { Derived* dp = new Derived; cout << dp->f(3) << '\n'; cout << dp->f(3.3) << '\n'; delete dp; return 0; }
The output of this program is:
f(double): 6.3 f(double): 6.6
Instead of the supposed output:
f(int): 6 f(double): 6.6
Overloading doesn't work for derived class in C++ programming language. There is no overload resolution between Base and Derived. The compiler looks into the scope of Derived, finds the single function "double f(double)" and calls it. It never disturbs with the (enclosing) scope of Base. In C++, there is no overloading across scopes – derived class scopes are not an exception to this general rule. (See this for more examples)
Reference: technical FAQs on www.stroustrup.com
Now consider Java version of this program:
class Base { public int f(int i) { System.out.print("f (int): "); return i+3; } } class Derived extends Base { public double f(double i) { System.out.print("f (double) : "); return i + 3.3; } } class myprogram3 { public static void main(String args[]) { Derived obj = new Derived(); System.out.println(obj.f(3)); System.out.println(obj.f(3.3)); } }
The output of the above program is:
f (int): 6 f (double): 6.6
So in Java overloading works across scopes contrary to C++. Java compiler determines correct version of the overloaded method to be executed at compile time based upon the type of argument used to call the method and parameters of the overloaded methods of both these classes receive the values of arguments used in call and executes the overloaded method.
Finally, let us try the output of following C# program:
using System; class Base { public int f(int i) { Console.Write("f (int): "); return i + 3; } } class Derived : Base { public double f(double i) { Console.Write("f (double) : "); return i+3.3; } } class MyProgram { static void Main(string[] args) { Derived obj = new Derived(); Console.WriteLine(obj.f(3)); Console.WriteLine(obj.f(3.3)); Console.ReadKey(); // write this line if you use visual studio } }
Note: Console.ReadKey() is used to halt the console. It is similar to getch as in C/C++.
The output of the above program is:
f(double) : 6.3 f(double): 6.6
instead of the assumed output
f(int) : 6 f(double) : 6.6
The reason is same as explained in C++ program. Like C++, there is no overload resolution between class Base and class Derived. In C#, there is no overloading across scopes derived class scopes are not an exception to this general rule. This is same as C++ because C# is designed to be much closer to C++, according to the Anders hejlsberg the creator of C# language.

CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwired - Feb. 9, 2017) -
Athabasca Oil Corporation (TSX:ATH) ("Athabasca" or the "Company") is pleased to announce a balance sheet refinancing transaction which marks the conclusion of a series of strategic steps undertaken over the past year to transform the Company. The comprehensive refinancing plan provides Athabasca multi-year funding certainty and a strong liquidity outlook that will allow the Company to continue to advance its strategic objectives and maintain business flexibility.
Athabasca has established itself as an intermediate oil weighted producer with a funded five-year growth outlook and exposure to several of the largest resource plays in Western Canada including the Montney, Duvernay and oil sands. A complementary asset base of high rate of return light oil opportunities and low decline thermal production positions the Company for strong financial sustainability and free cash flow generation in the current environment while maintaining significant exposure to improving oil prices.
Highlights of the refinancing plan include:
Athabasca maintains a strong financial position with pro forma net debt on closing of the refinancing transactions estimated at $290 million and $400 million of available liquidity. The Company anticipates sustainable free cash flow generation in 2018 under current strip pricing with net debt to cash flow of less than 2.5x at year-end 2018 and trending lower in subsequent years.
The balance sheet refinancing supports the Company's go-forward strategy:
The Company is also pleased to provide its 2017 production and capital budget guidance which is adjusted for the Leismer acquisition effective February 1, 2017. Highlights include:
Athabasca has a fully funded five-year development outlook capable of delivering a 30% per share production CAGR. The Company retains significant flexibility in future capital allocation decisions to react to operational results and market conditions.
Additional details on the refinancing transactions, 2017 guidance and an operational update are provided within this release.
Balance Sheet Refinancing
Athabasca has entered into agreements to issue the New Notes in the amount of US$450 million. The New Notes, due in 2022 will pay interest at a rate of 9.875% per year and are not subject to maintenance or financial covenants. The New Notes are secured by a second priority lien on substantially all of the assets of Athabasca.
The New Notes offering is expected to close on or about February 24, 2017, subject to customary closing conditions. Athabasca intends to use the net proceeds from the offering to repurchase for cash any and all of the Existing Notes pursuant to a cash tender offer. Details of the tender offer are outlined in a separate press release issued today.
In conjunction with the New Notes, the Company will establish a $120 million reserve-based credit facility supported by growth in its proved developed producing reserves. The new credit facility is syndicated with seven major financial institutions, with closing anticipated to occur concurrently with the New Notes.
RBC Capital Markets, LLC, Goldman, Sachs & Co., Credit Suisse and TD Securities acted as placement agents for Athabasca.
Athabasca maintains a strong financial position with current pro forma net debt of approximately $300 million and total liquidity of approximately $400 million. The Company anticipates sustainable free cash flow generation in 2018 with net debt to cash flow of less than 2.5x under current strip pricing and less than 1.5x under GLJ pricing at year-end 2018.
This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of the New Notes in any state in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful. The New Notes have not been registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements thereof.
Hedging Update
The Company has commenced a risk management program designed to protect a base level of cash flow and support its capital plans. The Company intends to hedge a minimum of 20,000 bbl/d for the balance of 2017 with 12,000 bbl/d of WCS hedges already in place at an average price of approximately C$52.75/bbl. Going forward, a multi-year hedging program is expected to form a part of the Company's risk management strategy.
Contingent Bitumen Royalty
Athabasca has granted a Royalty to Burgess Energy on the recently acquired Leismer and Corner leases for $90 million of cash consideration. The Royalty follows the same structure as the existing thermal oil contingent bitumen royalties and ensures the assets are not encumbered at low commodity prices. The Royalty is based on a linear scale (0 - 12%) with a WCS benchmark. The minimum 2% trigger is US$60/bbl WCS at Leismer and Corner (US$75/bbl WTI assuming a US$15/bbl WCS differential). The Royalty is not expected to materially impact economics of future expansion phases or development projects and there are no associated commitments for development.
Over the past year Athabasca has raised approximately $400 million through the series of Royalty transactions with Burgess Energy. These transactions unlocked long dated resource value and facilitated the recent acquisition of top tier producing Leismer thermal assets.
Preliminary 2016 Results
Athabasca achieved its 2016 corporate guidance with annual production averaging approximately 12,000 boe/d (field estimates) compared to guidance of 11,800 boe/d. Capital spending for the full year was approximately $122 million, also in-line with prior guidance. Annual corporate volumes reflect the Murphy Oil Joint Venture which was completed in May 2016. Q4 2016 production averaged approximately 11,600 boe/d comprised of Light Oil at 3,300 boe/d (54% liquids) and Thermal Oil at 8,300 bbl/d.
Operations Update and 2017 Guidance
Thermal Oil
Leismer averaged approximately 23,800 bbl/d (field estimates) for Q4 2016 with a 2.6x SOR. Athabasca intends to maintain a stable production base between 22,000 - 24,000 bbl/d for the foreseeable future. Operations will be focused on production optimization and drilling additional sustaining and infill wells. The Company has a well-defined development plan for the mid-term which includes the start-up of four predrilled infills on Pad L5, infill opportunities on Pads L3 and L4 and regulatory approval and operational readiness to expand Pad L2.
Hangingstone averaged approximately 8,300 bbl/d (field estimates) for Q4 2016 with a 4.9x SOR. Volumes in recent months have been impacted by facility maintenance and ongoing pump conversions which have largely been completed by the end of January. The project is expected to reach name plate capacity of 12,000 bbl/d in 2018 with minimal maintenance capital expected within the first five years of operations.
Thermal Oil Guidance
Athabasca's 2017 Thermal Oil budget is approximately $105 million with production guidance of 29,000 - 32,500 bbl/d, adjusted for the Leismer acquisition effective February 1, 2017. The capital program consists of $84 million at Leismer, $15 million at Hangingstone and an additional $6 million for maintaining Athabasca's long dated thermal leases.
Light Oil
Greater Placid Montney (Athabasca operated, 70% working interest)
At Placid, Athabasca currently has two rigs active in the field. 12 wells have been drilled to date and another eight wells are planned before breakup. Facilities construction is underway for a battery which will tie into Athabasca's owned and operated regional infrastructure network. The battery is expected to be in service at the beginning of the second quarter with capacity for growth up to 10,000 bbl/d and 36 mmcf/d.
The 7 - 30 - 60 - 23W5 ("7-30") pad was rig released in late September. The four wells were drilled with an average lateral length of approximately 2,350 meters and an average drilling cost of $3.1 million. Completion operations concluded in November and the pad was designed to test ball-drop versus plug and perf design. Of the three wells completed on the 7-30 pad, two were cased hole and one open hole for an average cost of $4.2 million per well. Completions operations on the fourth well have been delayed and the Company anticipates completing the well in conjunction with future drilling operations on this pad site.
The 7-30 pad came on production in December. Initial rates are meeting expectations with restricted IP30s of approximately 800 boe/d (278 bbl/mmcf free condensate). Regional volumes will remain restricted by facility capacity until the new Placid battery comes into service this spring.
Eight wells have been drilled on the 12-19-60-23 and 16 - 30 - 60 - 23 pads with an average lateral length of approximately 2,500 meters and an average cost of $3.2 million. These wells have been designed for plug and perf completions. Completion operations are underway and both pads are expected to be placed on production before breakup.
The Company is drilling its final two pads for the winter program at surface locations 3-4-61-23W5 (4 wells) and 7-33-60-23W5 (4 wells). The pads are expected to be rig released near the end of the first quarter with completions operations to commence in the summer.
Decisions regarding second half activity levels will be finalized in the summer and the Company retains flexibility to adapt the program to results and external market conditions.
Greater Kaybob Duvernay (Murphy operated, 30% working interest)
Murphy and Athabasca have finalized 2017 capital plans which are consistent with the development plan contained in the joint development agreement. Core objectives of the program include near-term production and cash flow growth, delineation across all phase windows, optimizing well design and maximizing land retention.
The 2017 program will include the spudding of 16 gross wells. The wells include a mix of pad development locations and delineation wells throughout the volatile oil window. Murphy intends to optimize well design with average lateral lengths increasing to approximately 2,800 meters and frac intensity up to approximately 2,000 lbs/ft (~3T/m). The program will target total lateral meters drilled of approximately 45,000 meters and this compares to Athabasca's initial 20 well appraisal campaign of approximately 27,000 meters since 2012.
The Company's partner, Murphy, currently has two rigs active in the field. The first two-well pad spud in November of 2016 at Kaybob West (surface location 1-18-64-20W5). The pad was rig released in January with average drill times of 22 days (spud to rig release) and an average lateral length of ~1,400 meters. Completion operations are underway with on-stream timing expected before breakup. Murphy intends to complete the well with proppant intensity of approximately 2,000 lbs/ft.
Drilling operations are underway on a two well pad at surface location 4-32-65-20W5 (2,650 meter average lateral length) and a three well pad at 11-18-64-20W5 (2,700 meter average lateral length). Both pads are expected to be rig released before breakup.
Light Oil Guidance
Athabasca's 2017 Light Oil capital budget is $135 million ($120 million for Placid Montney and $15 million net for Duvernay) with production guidance of 6,500 - 7,500 boe/d and an exit target in excess of 10,000 boe/d. H2 2017 Montney capital will be assessed mid-year.
2016 Reserves Update (Pro Forma Statoil Acquisition)
Athabasca's independent qualified reserves evaluators, GLJ Petroleum Consultants ("GLJ") and DeGolyer and MacNaughton Canada Limited ("D&M"), prepared year-end reserve evaluations effective December 31, 2016 for the Company's existing properties and the recently acquired Leismer and Corner properties.
Corporately, Athabasca has increased its Proved plus Probable reserves by approximately 210% per share year over year to 1,120 mmboe through the acquisition the Leismer and Corner properties, and a successful light oil drilling program at Greater Kaybob and Greater Placid.
Additional details on reserves will be provided in conjunction with Athabasca's year-end disclosure in March.

Reserves Data
The reserves data set forth above is based upon the reports of GLJ and D&M, each dated effective December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 and prepared in accordance with the Canadian Oil and Gas Evaluation Handbook. The price forecast used in the 2016 reserve evaluations is the January 1, 2017 GLJ price forecast, which is available on ITS website, www.gljpc.com, and will be contained in the Company's Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2016, which will be filed on SEDAR (accessible at www.sedar.com) on or before March 31, 2017. The price forecast used in the 2015 reserve evaluations is the January 1, 2016 GLJ price forecast, which is available in the Company's Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2015, which is accessible on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
There are numerous uncertainties inherent in estimating quantities of bitumen, crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids reserves and the future cash flows attributed to such reserves. The reserve and associated cash flow information set forth above are estimates only. In general, estimates of economically recoverable reserves and the future net cash flows therefrom are based upon a number of variable factors and assumptions, such as historical production from the properties, production rates, ultimate reserve recovery, timing and amount of capital expenditures, marketability of oil and natural gas, royalty rates, the assumed effects of regulation by governmental agencies and future operating costs, all of which may vary materially. For those reasons, estimates of the economically recoverable reserves attributable to any particular group of properties, classification of such reserves based on risk of recovery and estimates of future net revenues associated with reserves prepared by different engineers, or by the same engineers at different times, may vary. The Company's actual production, revenues, taxes and development and operating expenditures with respect to its reserves will vary from estimates thereof and such variations could be material.
All evaluations and reviews of future net revenue are stated prior to any provisions for interest costs or general and administrative costs and after the deduction of estimated future capital expenditures for wells to which reserves have been assigned. The after-tax net present value of the Company's properties reflects the tax burden on the properties on a stand-alone basis and utilizes the Company's tax pools. It does not consider the corporate tax situation, or tax planning. It does not provide an estimate of the after-tax value of the Company, which may be significantly different. The Company's financial statements and the management's discussion and analysis should be consulted for information at the level of the Company.
The estimates of reserves and future net revenue for individual properties may not reflect the same confidence level as estimates of reserves and future net revenue for all properties, due to effects of aggregations. The estimated values of future net revenue disclosed in this press release do not represent fair market value. There is no assurance that the forecast prices and cost assumptions used in the reserve evaluations will be attained and variances could be material.
The reserve data provided in this news release presents only a portion of the disclosure required under National Instrument 51-101. All of the required information will be contained in the Company's Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2016, which will be filed on SEDAR (accessible at www.sedar.com) on or before March 31, 2017.
Unaudited Financial Information
Certain financial and operating results included in this news release including, without limitation, capital spending and production information are based on unaudited estimated results. These estimated results are subject to change upon completion of the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016, and changes could be material.
Oil and Gas Information
"BOEs" may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A BOE conversion ratio of six thousand cubic feet of natural gas to one barrel of oil equivalent (6 Mcf: 1 bbl) is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead. As the value ratio between natural gas and crude oil based on the current prices of natural gas and crude oil is significantly different from the energy equivalency of 6:1, utilizing a conversion on a 6:1 basis may be misleading as an indication of value.
Initial Production Rates
The initial production rates provided in this News Release should be considered to be preliminary. Initial production rates disclosed herein may not necessarily be indicative of long term performance or of ultimate recovery.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The "Funds Flow from Operations", "Light Oil Operating Income", "Thermal Oil Operating Income" and "Net Debt" financial measures contained in this News Release do not have standardized meanings which are prescribed by International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") and they are considered to be non-GAAP measures. Investors should be cautioned that these measures should not be construed as an alternative to net income or other measures of financial performance as determined in accordance with IFRS. These measures may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers and should not be considered in isolation with measures that are prepared in accordance with IFRS.
Funds Flow from Operations is not intended to represent cash flow from operating activities, net earnings or other measures of financial performance calculated in accordance with IFRS.

To kick-off my blog I thought I would should you the color I painted my nails today. This olive green shimmer polish is perfect for this fall. This shade falls perfectly into this season's military green polish trend. I bought this nail polish a couple days ago from Sally's Beauty Supply and it is by the brand Nina Ultra Pro in the shade Mossy Britches. Guess how much this was? $2.99! Nina Ultra Pro's entire line is on sale NOW at Sally's.
I feel as though no one talks about this brand of polish on Youtube or blogs. I've only seen this brand at Sally's, but these polishes aren't bad at all! They have amazing dry time, a large brush, and go on smoothly. For such an inexpensive price it is definitely worth it to go out and purchase some.
In other, random news I'd just like to say R.I.P. Steve Jobs. You changed the world.
Thanks for stopping by. I shall try as much as possible to blog for you all! Leave a comment and leave some suggestions for me :)

Mixing old with new is a key look for today's interiors and has seen a big revival of vintage metals such as copper and brass. The Watermark Collection have a choice of four different brass finishes; Aged Brass, Brushed Brass, Polished Brass and Vintage Brass.
The Watermark Collection offers an extraordinary range of kitchen taps, all hand made in Brooklyn, New York. Each piece is precisely machined from solid brass and assembled to order before being hand finished in any of 15 different options, from Polished Nickel and Oil Bronze to Vintage Copper.
From L-R: Aged Brass, Brushed Brass, Polished Brass, Vintage Brass
Drummonds' Chessleton lever taps are a true classic: Sleek deco profiles combine with impressive weight and solidity to make them as distinctive in contemporary settings as in period bathrooms
Precision cast in solid brass using the traditional lost wax process, the Chessleton collection includes basin taps, bath taps, a shower and a hand shower, all available in a wide range of finishes including polished and antiqued brass. The lever handles come in polished hardwood or white china.
The three hole basin mixer is shown here in nickel with polished hardwood handles, on Drummonds' Lowther vanity with an Arabescato marble top.
Martin Moore designed and built this purpose-fitted dressing room in an extraordinary 14th Century building in Kent. Originally a Cloth Hall, it housed traders selling fabrics including wool, silk and leather. Today this important building has been restored in every detail, transformed into a home which occupies a series of unique spaces.
Although very familiar with period houses, creating a dressing room in a centuries-old roof with a sloping floor, randomly angled walls and prominent beams was an exciting challenge for Martin Moore's designer David Sant. However, as every piece of furniture is individually designed and made to order, it was a case of responding to each separate wall, providing organised space without compromising the room's essential character.
Handbuilt in Martin Moore's Yorkshire workshops, in American Walnut with nickel handles, the furniture is as solidly constructed as the house itself, with an authenticity which perfectly complements this exceptional building.
Tall breakfronted cupboards occupy one entire wall, with shelves and drawers optimising space above and below the hanging rail. A separate set of shelves holds a fabulous collection of designer handbags. The impressive shoe collection has a cabinet all of its own, set beneath one of the most dramatically sloping walls. There are no doors on any of the cabinetry, both to conserve space and to ensure that everything can be seen. To help this, all of the units are backlit.
A dramatic island holds centre stage in the room. As with the tall cupboards, this is divided into 'His and Hers' sides. The top of the island has glass insets looking down into lit accessory bays, neatly sectioned to store and display watches, cufflinks, earrings and other small treasures. The roomy drawers below are leather-lined and compartmentalised to the owners' specific requirements.
The result, was a triumph for Martin Moore's responsiveness and abilities. David Sant describes it as, "Calm and consistent, using a very eccentric space to create a completely organised, personalised and luxurious dressing room. It's a wonderful luxury."
High-tech, bespoke glass buildings from The Caulfield Company combine all the pleasures of indoor/outdoor living with state-of-the-art thermal performance. Automated shading and temperature control are operated through built-in weather stations for perfect climate control. This is tried and tested intelligent technology, widely used in commercial buildings and now being applied to domestic projects from garden room extensions to modern conservatories and freestanding glass pavilions.
Shown Here: Set within a large garden, this large family house originally had limited access to the garden, making the two spaces feel separate. As part of a total refurbishment, The Caulfield Company was asked to open up the back of the house with a large glass extension creating space for an airy new open plan kitchen, dining and living room all flowing directly into the garden.
The Caulfield Company completely removed one corner of the house, replacing it with a dramatic contemporary L-shaped glass building. Built-in climate control makes it comfortable to live in night and day, all year round.
As another element of the refurbishment, The Caulfield Company was asked to carry the style of the new glass building through the whole of the house's rear elevation. To create this cohesive look, they replaced the windows on three storeys and created a new set of large bi-folding doors to the right of the extension, opening up the original living room to the new terrace.
At the heart of The Caulfield Company's designs are pioneering roof and door systems which offer not only the highest possible strength, noise cancelling and thermal values (up to Passivhaus requirements) but also the ability to create spectacular structures
The Caulfield Company handles projects right through from planning permission to the design, build and interior finishes. It also offers a complete interior design service including bespoke joinery made in its own workshops, integrated entertainment systems, timber and stone floors and contemporary furniture from leading names including Rolf Benz, Draenart and Asco. Mark Caulfield and his team of architects and craftsmen undertake projects all over the world.
From their splendid cast iron baths to their handmade brassware, luxury bathroom manufacturers Drummonds are an iconic British brand. Now, they've taken their unique style to New York, displaying a full range within the D&D Building on Manhattan's Upper East Side.
Drummonds produce sumptuous bathroom products with a solidity and integrity rarely seen nowadays. At the heart of the New York showroom displays are their classic freestanding baths and their splendid vanities including the super-large Double Lowther with its twin basins and hand carved marble top.

The Nifty Low Volatility 50 Index (NLV50) is a portfolio of 50 stocks that has the least volatility among all the stocks listed at the NSE. This is referred to as a smart beta strategy.
Considering the way it is constructed, its performance (much of which is backdated) has been quite interesting and I think this can be a suitable benchmark index for multi-cap mutual funds in terms of risk-adjusted returns.
Thanks to Indraneal, who blogs at cognicrafing for helping me understand the composition of its current portfolio – 19 large-cap stocks + 30 mid-cap stocks and one small-cap.
However, The index has no specific cap or sector tilt and only depends on volatility – standard deviation of daily returns in the past year (calculated each business day).
The NLV50 (backtested data, excluding dividends) managed to comfortably beat the Nifty with dividends included, but also managed to fall less during the 2008 crash.
I cannot help be amused at the NLV50 is constructed!
- Take the top 300 companies in terms of free float market cap and turnover in the last 6 months
- Ensure the companies have a
- listing history of at least 1 year
- at least 10% of total shares are available for trading (and not held by promoters, govt, trusts etc.)
- 100% trading frequency.
- positive net worth as per last annual audited report.
- Take price adjusted for corporate action and calculate the standard deviation of daily returns for the last year.
- List 50 stocks that have the lowest standard deviation (volatility).
- Stock with lowest volatility gets highest weight.
- upon quarterly review, if an index stock moves out of the top 50, but is still part of the top 100, it is not removed. This reduces churn.
- Rebalancing to preserve weights is also done quaterly.
- There is no cap or sector bias.
This is a snapshot from the NLV50 fact sheet. Although it has a 90%+ correlation with the Nifty, the volatiliey is a good 20-30% lower (as measured by Beta).
However, it is not a suitable index for large-cap mutual funds and indeed, none of the large-caps have managed to beat this! (Happy to share this data on request).
The mid-cap funds have managed to do better, but this is not a pure mid-cap index either. I shall test this out against all multi-cap funds once I prepare the list.
The reason I particularly like this index is performance combined with low volatility. This is a good benchmark for our equity portfolios as well.
Quantum Long Term Equity vs. Nifty Low Volatility 50
Using the Analysis: 10-year Lump sum vs 10-year SIP returns sheets, here is how Quantum Long Term Equity fares against this index.
NLV50 has a lower Ulcer index than QLTE. The Ulcer index is a measure of volatility and downside risk or in other words, a measure of investor stress! Lower the ulcer index, lower the stess.
In terms of returns too, QLTE is a bit lower than NVL50. Although a bit more volatile, the fund has managed to beat the index when evaluated from Apr 3rd 2006.

The Bread of Life
(November-December 2012)
While we marvel at the things which Jesus did while He was in the world we are also amazed at the things which He said. The two go together of course, being the words and deeds of the only begotten Son of God who came in our nature to save sinners. As no-one ever lived like Christ so no-one ever spoke like Christ. His sayings were with such authority and such simplicity, such wisdom and such grace.
On one occasion Jesus miraculously fed a crowd of five thousand with five barley loaves and two small fishes. The next day, knowing what was in their hearts, He told the people to give more attention to the needs of their souls than their stomachs. He proclaimed: "I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst" (John 6:35).
Let me ask you a question in the light of these precious words. Is there an emptiness in your soul? Is there a hunger in your heart? When we have not eaten for a while we experience a natural hunger and God meets our need with His kind provision, giving us our daily bread. We should thank Him for His faithful supply, which is undeserved by us. Yet as the Bible teaches and as we know within ourselves, there is much more to life than food and drink.
Uniquely of all the creatures which God made you and I have a never-dying soul as well as a body. We are made to know and enjoy God and we simply cannot be content apart from Him. By our sin we have lost that fellowship with God which enriches and fulfils human life. Try as we might to find happiness in this world, all its possessions and pleasures yield nothing of lasting value; we are left with mere husks that can never bring peace and contentment to our souls.
Yet here is One saying to us, "I am the bread of life." He promises that if we come to Him then our souls will be filled and we will be truly blessed. This is the Lord Jesus Christ, true God and true man, dying on the cross for sinners to take away their guilt and reconcile them to God and offering Himself to us now in the gospel. In Him God is gracious. Have you embraced Jesus Christ personally in the arms of saving faith? Does your soul feed upon Him daily in the Word of God? This is our most necessary food.
Lazarus was a man who enjoyed the bread of life even though he was a beggar with only the dogs of the street for company. He looked for crumbs each day in order to survive but at the same time he trusted in Christ and his soul was saved. When he died he went to "Abraham's bosom" (Luke 16:22), which is heaven. The rich man dined on plenty each day but neglected his soul. Sadly when he died he went to hell (Luke 16:23). Which example are you following?
Jesus Christ is the bread of God which comes down from heaven and gives life to the world. Those who taste of Christ and His grace in the gospel find lasting joy; their prayer is, "evermore give us this bread." The Lord will not deny them and they will be eternally satisfied in their Saviour. Come to Christ and your heart will never hunger again.

Mission & Vision
In November and December 2010 the church committed to 24 hours of prayer over 40 days seeking an answer to the question, 'What kind of house, Lord?'
January 2011 saw the church leadership team go away for a few days to reflect further on the experience of the 40 days of prayer.
Out of all this has come what we are calling our "Lighthouse Vision" of an ABC Statement:
In 2012, we came to believe that the Lord was urging us to be a church-planting church – a 'pregnant' church which plants other churches in places where there is no evangelical church witness or presence – as a strategic missional response to our Commission 'to give light and to save life'. We have been challenged by the statement that Church planting has been described as "the most effective means of evangelism known under heaven".

Empowering students with a maker mindset is a key goal in the primary school this year. Playful experimentation, trial and error, persistence and effective application of knowledge are assets in any curriculum area. Our Makerspace offers an engaging and practical context to develop these qualities whilst building our students' Invention Literacy.
We would like to thank the PTA and our community for purchasing the new resource Little Bits for our Maker Space. An excellent resource, Little Bits is an electronics toolkit that consists of small components – batteries, speakers, switches – which connect together via powerful magnets. Things that connect will snap and stay together while things shouldn't connect will repel each other. The modular nature of Little Bits allows our students to rapidly make changes to their projects and is a good introduction to basic circuitry.
Thank you IICS PTA!

Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month & Ribbon
|Purple Color
Pancreatic cancer is that which affects the cells and tissues of the pancreas. It is also known as exocrine cancer and is one of the most difficult to diagnose cancers. Adenocarcinoma is the most common type of pancreatic cancer.
Pancreatic cancer develops silently and when the symptoms start showing, it is almost in the advanced stages of the disease. The condition causes rapid weight loss, dark colored urine, nausea, diarrhea, abdominal and back pain, jaundice and enlarged lymph nodes. Some of the patients also develop diabetes due to the impaired function of the gland leading to reduced insulin production. Blockage of bile ducts can lead to severe itching all over the body.
Treatment of pancreatic cancer depends largely on the stage of the disease.
Pancreatic cancer is caused by the mutations in the DNA of the pancreatic cells. The cause of these mutations can vary from exposure to various types of carcinogens, obesity, wrong lifestyle habits, genetic predisposition and finally reduced selenium and lycopene.
As with other types of cancer, patients with pancreatic cancer are diagnosed through the first presentations of clinical symptoms, after which elaborate laboratory tests such as scans and histopathological studies are conducted to determine the type and stage of the cancer. Biopsies include FNA (fine needle aspiration), Endoscopy, endoscopic ultrasound and laparoscopy. Blood tests include detection of specific antigen levels such as CA 19-9 and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA).

In quantum mechanics, we have learned to approach reality differently and see everything as probabilities instead of certainties. In a mathematical sense, anything is possible. As well as in science as in our daily lives, the extent to which we can calculate or figure out probabilities is determined by our intellectual capability to recognize patterns. The less biased we are, the clearer we can identify these patterns and base our actions on reasonable probabilities. Since it's in the very nature of our brain's left hemisphere to deny ideas that do not fit into our current paradigm, the more attached we are to a belief system, the less able we are to make conscious choices for ourselves. But by observing this process, we expand our awareness and enhance our free will.
It is said that wisdom comes with
age, but with openness and skepticism, the key principles of the
scientific method, we don't need decades of trial and error to sort out
which of our convictions may be improbable. The question is not
whether our believes are right or wrong, but whether or not being
emotionally attached to them is more or less likely going to benefit
us. There is no such thing as free choice while being emotionally
attached to a belief system. The moment we are self-aware enough to
realize this, we can truly work together to figure out the real odds of
what will benefit us the most.

Hyper Effects and Chief Executive Officer Himesh Bhargo showcase the rich culture of Kitsap County in their latest music video project that feature members of the community for the original song "Like I Do".
Bhargo, a graduate from Olympic College in Bremerton, directed and starred in the video. His stated goal for the project was to showcase the beauty and culture of the Kitsap community, and he prides himself on casting local talent in many of his projects.
"My vision was to exhibit the rich and growing culture of Kitsap County," said Bhargo. "I was both humbled and honored to see the support of the community for this project. The kind of opportunities provided to artists in Bremerton are limitless."
Executing Bhargo's vision in the music video was art director Vandana Trehan. Trehan utilized the rich local landscape of Bremerton and its outlying areas to encompass the romantic theme of the video. Trehan served as costume designer for multiple projects in India, including the 2010 Bollywood film "Panjaban".
"This was an amazing experience for me and I learned a lot from the project," Trehan said. "I took my previous experiences from India and added a touch of the rich western culture. The production company Hyper Effects really takes production quality to a whole new level."
"Like I Do" was written and composed by singer-songwriter Ekami Qualid, and developed from Bhargo's concepts. Ekami beautifully sang the romantic song , with Himesh Bhargo as main lead and Anastazia Nichole as the female lead actor.
Bhargo's directorial credits include the short film "A Beautiful Thing" (2013), the full-length experimental independent film "Jurisdiction" (2012), and the video short "Faded Sight" (2011). Bhargo's well-reviewed works have won awards from the Nevada Film Festival, the Lucerne Film Festival in Switzerland, Indie Fest in Las Vegas, and many others.
Kitsap County boasts a population of more than 250,000, and is home to the city of Bremerton, along with the exclusive Bainbridge and Blake Islands. Bainbridge Island, located within the Puget Sound Basin, was named one of the best places to live in the United States by CNN/Money and Money magazine, while Blake Island features a 475-acre park with five miles of shoreline that provides unobstructed views of the Olympic Mountains and Seattle Skyline.
One of Kitsap County's largest employers is the United States Navy and its three coastal installations. It is the hometown of notable personalities such as five-time Olympic Gold Medalist Nathan Adrian, best-selling romance novelist Debbie Macomber, NBA star for the Charlotte Hornets Marvin Williams, and Ben Shepherd of the Seattle-based rock band Soundgarden. Kitsap County was also featured in the 2004 film Walking Tall, which featured actors The Rock and Johnny Knoxville.
The Music video "Like I Do" is available to be watched on YouTube, Vimeo, and Daily Motion.

Frostbite 45
The Frostbite 45 challenge was held on 16 March 2013. A map of the course is available. Generally about 90 or so persons participated in a 45 km race in -30 degree temperatures from the Ski Club, through Walsh Lake, on to Prosperous Lake and Cassidy Point, then to Detah, across Yellowknife Bay and back to the Ski Club. The challenge was organized and run by the Yellowknife Multisport Club.
YARS provided emergency VHF radio coverage on 2 metres and to some degree on a commercial radio system set up by the organizers. Bib numbers of participants were called in to the Ski Club and message traffic was passed to the checkpoints in the field. This was a chance for YARS members to fine-tune their equipment for field use in cold weather.
Preparations began long before 16 March. VE8WD, VE8BOB, VE8BC and VE8IR all helped to install the VE8RT 2 m YAGI at the Ski Club. This antenna showed a high VSWR and its connectors were disassembled and cleaned. VE8WD and VE8BOB helped VE8IR to finish assembling a 5-Element YAGI for 2 m which VE8IR used at the Walsh Lake checkpoint - establishing full quieting to the base 15 km away on 1.5 W. VE8BOB used an omnidirectional vertical antenna with very good results from Detah. VE8BC also used a YAGI from Prosperous Lake with excellent results. VE8WD used a vertical from Cassidy Point with good results. Sections of the fibreglass masts came in handy, although VE8BOB used his own mast set-up.
Overall this exercise was very productive and it has provided YARS with a test of its equipment in the lead up to the annual Yellowknife Ski Club Ski Loppet scheduled for 7 April 2013.
Thank you to VE8BC, VE8KC and VE8IR for the photos in the collection.

David has been on some amazing adventures having ridden his motorcycle across 25 countries from Spain to Nepal. His career as a fundraiser in the educational field is long and impressive. After learning that the owners of the world's largest car collection were trying to create a museum around their automobile treasures, David jumped in to action and spent years helping develop what has become a spectacular car museum located in Tacoma Washington. It is a legacy to the late Harold LeMay who with his wife Nancy, collected their incredible collection. The museum opened in 2012 with David at the helm leading a dedicated team who cares for the collection. That is when he's not riding his motorcycles through Brazil or Peru!

012: Tim Suddard is the publisher of Grassroots Motorsports and Classic Motorsports magazines. Tim also runs the Orange Blossom Tour. He has restored over 40 cars and in August of 2014 Tim will celebrate his 30th year as a publisher of great automotive m
Tim Suddard grew up the son and grandson of a Ford dealer. He began restoring cars at the age of 14 and still has the first car he restored, a 1929 Ford that his grandfather had sold brand new. Shortly after graduating from Stetson University he decided that America's car magazines focused too much on the wealthiest few, so he started Grassroots Motorsports, a magazine geared towards regular people who enjoyed fixing up and playing with common, readily available sports cars.
This success lead to the formation of a second publication; Classic Motorsports, which has become America's largest publication catering to classic sports car enthusiasts. These publications led to an events business, that includes hosting the Classic Motorsports Mitty, one of the oldest and largest vintage races in America, the Ultimate Track Car Challenge and the $201X Challenge series of low cost events; that have run for the last ten years.
Tim does a variety of contract publishing work that includes publication of the Amelia Island Concours program, the World Challenge fan guide and other concours and race event programs. He maintains, rallies and races a collection of about fifteen eclectic, mostly British, sports cars and has restored over 40 cars since that first Model A.

When I was attending my first Synod Meeting last September after I arrived in England, it was a sad moment for me. Never in my life have I needed to make such a decision, that is: whether to lift up my hand or not to agree to cease worship for one of the Methodist churches. Before I came to England last year, I had read a report saying that churches had been closed down or been put on sale to individuals or organisations for other purposes in England and other European countries. How sad this message was to me?
The homeland of John Wesley, John Wycliffe and William Tyndale, and I might say England, was once a thriving center of Christian thoughts. Besides, this land was experiencing a spiritual revival and had commissioned so many missionaries to unreached people groups. It is so difficult for me to understand and accept. Today, secularism and Islam are growing influences among the populations in England. Freedom of speech and religion are limited. An estimated 59% of the population claims the Christian faith, but that number is decreasing annually. England is in desperate need of a spiritual revival and the only one who can lift the weight of hopelessness and despondency in this land is Christ.
When I looked back, with the darkness in moral standards of the 18th century British society, Wesleyan revival broke out. As the flames of revival broke out in what was once darkness, historians marvel at how the movement of revival was sustained for decades. Why? To Wesley, a True Christian was marked by two inseparable qualities: holiness and happiness. I might say this has become an essential reason why spiritual revival takes place.
John Wesley wanted the followers of Jesus to have a disciplined life, to live in holiness. Once, John Wesley was visiting one of the churches. He expelled sixty four church members. The reason why John Wesley was doing that was: two selling liquor, two said bad words, seventeen drunkenness, twenty nine lightness and carelessness, three quarrelling, four swearing, three habitual lying, two sabbath-breaking, one laziness and with one count of wife beating.
In order to live a transforming life, Wesley's followers first met in private homes "societies." When these societies became too large for members to care for one another, Wesley organized "classes," each with eleven members and a leader. Classes met weekly to pray, read the Bible, discuss their spiritual lives, and to collect money for charity. These societies and classes provided continual pulses of revival power which ultimately changed a nation. During this prolonged period of cultural transformation, a thought provoking question was consistently asked of participants. That question, which might be asked a thousand times upon one's participation in a Methodist society over a lifetime. Each time when these questions were asked in groups they held each other accountable.
After the questions and sharing, it was followed by a question "Do you desire to flee from the wrath of God to come, and to be saved from your sins?" I am thinking shall we have these questions to be asked in our worship together, bible study or prayer meeting?
For many today, notions of "the wrath of God" may seem outdated, questionable, or even backward. Nonetheless, the theme of God's wrath permeates all of Scripture and was a central theme in the DNA of the Wesleyan revival. Should we also consider the reality of God's wrath as we seek to make disciples in the 21st century? John Wesley thought it so important that he and others framed an important question around this theme for every participant in the Methodist movement.
This is a new time; a time to seek holiness, a time of mercy and a time of shaking. It is the time that EMC and CCEMC respond to God's calling. To humbly come before God, seek His face; turn from our wicked ways and to pray. Now is the time to persevere, continue to live as true followers of Jesus Christ although others have declined. Now is the time for us together, as God's people across our UK nations, to pray in unity for God to fulfil His purposes for our nations, just like what John Wesley had emphasized, to have holiness and happiness.
