If you follow this blog at all you are probably thinking that the title of this post doesn't sound much like me…and you would be correct.
The title is an except from a larger quote, "goodwill and branding are nice, but not easily tracked so direct response pieces would be more effective and that if you can't track ROI, it's often not worth your time/money.", by a very well respected SVP for a super major brand and this person happens to be the mentor for my new friend Queen Latifa (not her real name cause why should she get in trouble cause I like to blog).
Queen Latifa is a super smart and very attractive woman going into her second year of Commerce at Queens University (lots of royalty in this post) and we met when she reached out to me because she thought I was a brilliant marketer with some cool ideas to share…and because I am very handsome (OK I may have made up the handsome part…I mean I am but that may not have been her motivation).
Meeting Queen Latifa has been very rewarding because listening to some of the advice she has gotten has proved to me that there are two schools of thought when it comes to marketing….treat people as people and create emotional experiences to win them over, or treat people like numbers and dollar signs and create programs around that…the sad thing is that it seems that the latter (numbers and dollar signs) is the only thing that is being taught in these schools.
So in the spirit of teaching I am going to share some of the (possibly bad) advice I gave the Queen, including to drop her mentor and to allow me to assume the role because I still appreciate people and know that marketing is still about love
Here is a slightly edited version of our most recent email and if you don't feel like reading it all you can skip to the end and just read the recap of the advice:
Queen Latifa: One of the major reasons that we changed the approach is because my position mentor felt strongly that customers would view the questions as unauthentic and think "they don't actually want to get to know me, they just want to see how they can better market to me". He also argued that goodwill and branding are nice, but not easily tracked so direct response pieces would be more effective and that if you can't track ROI, it's often not worth your time/money.
You told me to question everything I see and hear and while I understand that people may be suspicious and view the this email as a marketing ploy, I don't think that it should be wrong to, as a company, want to know your customers a little better. Obviously if customers believe that you care as a company, they will be more willing to call in with their suggestions and complaints, which will ultimately build a stronger product. After reading the WOM Marketing book you have me by Andy Sernovitz, I want to believe that if you go out of the way to do something nice for your customers, they will talk about it with their friends- BUT- in our society, does that now just feel unauthentic and hokey for a company to want to get to know you?
Saul: Your mentor lost all credibility with me when he said "goodwill and branding are nice, but not easily tracked so direct response pieces would be more effective and that if you can't track ROI, it's often not worth your time/money." – That could be the single worst (in my opinion) advice/statement in business ever…and I mean ever. You should drop him as a mentor and this is what is wrong with some MBA's. Marketing is about connecting with your customer and offering experiences…sharing stories and creating a warm feeling. If you do that you will have all the sales and ROI/low CPA stuff you can handle because of the work you did initially. Think about all the brands you love and why you love them. Chances are they made a connection to you in some great way that may have seemed like it was designed for you and only you. I keep telling you this and I will say it again. Marketing is not all about numbers it is about love…remember that…everything is about love (and I am not joking…you will see once you start dating) If you love your customers they will love you and your product/service.
· Since you don't want to be part of a faceless corporation you obviously care and haven't lost your humanity…that is awesome about you…don't lose that because that is and what will make you different and special in your career.
- Question Everything – Be anal and ask yourself "Does this make sense? If I was the consumer would this connect with me?
- Question Everything again – just because a teacher or someone with a fancy title says it should be this way or that way, make sure you feel it is the right decision for your company and the people you are marketing to…and if it isn't you have to say something.
- Marketing is more than numbers – Companies need to make money to stay open and grow so ROI is important but if you treat people like an acquisition or a number they will feel it and probably not be loyal to you.
- Love is a gateway drug – If you are an MBA you may feel the need to split test this but try showing real genuine love to your customers and see what happens…you may be shocked.
- Be Creative – 'Nuff Said
So after reading this…what do you think?

New York, January 13, 2017--Belarussian authorities should unconditionally release Aleksandr Lapshin, a Russian-Israeli blogger detained in the capital Minsk on an extradition request from Azerbaijan, the Committee to Protect Journalists said today.
Police in Minsk on December 15, 2016, detained Lapshin, who lives in Moscow and writes a popular Russian-language travel blog, He is wanted in Azerbaijan for visiting the disputed region of Nagorno-Karabakh in April 2011, October 2012, and June 2016, and for criticizing Azerbaijani policies on his blog, according to news reports. Both Azerbaijan and Armenia claim Nagorno-Karabakh as their territory. The region is internationally recognized as part of Azerbaijan, but is now under Armenian control.
Lapshin's detention soon after he entered Belarus stems from his inclusion in 2011 on the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry's list of people wanted on charges of making "anti-state calls to the public" and illegally crossing Azerbaijan's state borders, according to regional press reports. Belarus and Azerbaijan have close diplomatic relations.
The Russian state news agency RIA Novosti reported today that a representative of Belarus's prosecutor-general's office said it was studying Azerbaijan's extradition request.
"Aleksandr Lapshin should not be jailed for expressing his opinions or traveling to a disputed region," CPJ Europe and Central Asia Program Coordinator Nina Ognianova said. "We call on Belarussian authorities to release the travel blogger without condition and allow him to return home."
Azerbaijani state media reported that Lapshin called for Nagorno-Karabakh's independence from Azerbaijan. According to the Israeli daily newspaper Haaretz, Lapshin also made several remarks criticizing Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliev on his blog. Blog posts CPJ reviewed at the time of Lapshin's detention appeared to have been subsequently removed from the site.
An Israeli consular official met with the blogger on January 12. The blogger's wife, Yekaterina Kopilova, told Haaretz that the diplomat told her that Lapshin was "in poor mental health," "depressed," and under pressure from Belarussian officials to agree to voluntary extradition. "There is no good news," the newspaper quoted Kopilova as saying.
Azerbaijan has declared 180 journalists personae non grata--meaning they cannot enter the country--for visiting the disputed territory of Nagorno-Karabakh, according to Russia's state-run Interfax news agency. The Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry's full list, last updated on December 7, 2016, includes 623 names in total, including French Interior Minister Bruno Le Roux and opera singer Montserrat Caballe.
On January 11, 2017, Russia's state-run Interfax news agency reported that the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry was investigating an October 2016 visit to Nagorno-Karabakh and a subsequent report by Indonesian journalist Famega Putri, a reporter for the Indonesian magazine Tempo.

International Women's Day falls on March 8 every year. Having started back in the 1900s, Women's Day was initially called "An International Working Women's Day". The earliest celebration was observed and held on February 28th back in 1909 in New York and was organized by the Socialist Party of America. In a few years the movement took on and on March 8th in 1917 a demonstration for women requiring higher salaries and better working standards was held in the capital of the Russian Empire, Petrograd. The United Nations began celebrating the day in 1975 and invited member states to proclaim March 8 as the UN Day for women's rights and world peace.
Starting 1996 the United Nations picked a topic for the event to focus and spread the word on the rising issue. In 2016 the topic was "Step It Up for Gender Equality" and this year the official theme was set to "Women in the Changing World of Work: Planet 50-50 by 2030″. Not just a celebration, the day has also come to be increasingly associated with feminism and equal rights for women. To celebrate womanhood, women's changing role and equal rights, here are a few quotes from the world's most known, strong, independent and inspiring women:
"You can be a thousand different women. It's your choice which one you want to be. It's about freedom and sovereignty. You celebrate who you are. You say, 'This is my kingdom." — Salma Hayek, Actress and Activist
"I suppose I could have stayed home and baked cookies and had teas, but what I decided to do was to fulfill my profession, which I entered before my husband was in public life." — Hillary Clinton
"Young women should pave their own path. I find it quite confining to live up to anybody else's expectations of who you should be." — Jessica Alba, Actress
"We need to reshape our own perception of how we view ourselves. We have to step up as women and take the lead." — Beyoncé
"Some women choose to follow men, and some women choose to follow their dreams. If you're wondering which way to go, remember that your career will never wake up and tell you that it doesn't love you anymore." — Lady Gaga
"My hope for the future, not just in the music industry, but in every young girl I meet, is that they all realize their worth and ask for it." — Taylor Swift
"No one has ever asked an actor, you're playing a strong-minded man, We assume that men are strong-minded, or have opinions. But a strong-minded woman is a different animal." — Meryl Streep
"I feel like young girls are told that they have to be a princess and fragile. It's bullshit. I identify much more with being a warrior—a fighter." — Emma Watson
"I consider myself to be a feminist, and I'd always wanted to show that just because a woman has made a choice, a free choice to say, 'Well, I'm going to raise my family and that's going to be my choice. I may go back to a career, I may have a career part time, but that's my choice.' Doesn't mean that that's all she can do." — JK Rowling, Author
"Femininity for me means happiness and freedom… freedom of being who you are in whatever shape or size you come in." — Kate Winsleet

This exchanger could not be taken off-line without shutting down the process. With shutdown not being an option, a continuous injection of RYDLYME was proposed to get the refinery back to acceptable operating temperatures.

Coupled with the solution's biodegradability for easy and safe disposal in normal plant sewers, most cleaning applications can be completed within a few hours, making RYDLYME one of the fastest-acting industrial descalers on the market.
RYDLYME is non-corrosive and will not erode, pit, oxidize or have other detrimental effects on materials such as: iron; copper; fiber; stainless steel; rubber; steel; plastic; brass; ceramic; glass; titanium; nickel; and other materials associated with water-based equipment.

December 1, 2016
OLYMPIA, Wash. – Insurance Commissioner Mike Kreidler ordered Zenefits to cease free distribution of its employee benefits software, noting the tactic violates Washington state insurance law against inducements.
Washington is the first state to take action against the company for violating inducement laws. Under an agreement with Kreidler, Zenefits can challenge the order within 90 days.
California-based Zenefits began operations in Washington in 2014, selling online human resources services to businesses. As part of its free software offer, Zenefits provided certain features with a paid commission. To access these premium features, the company required the client to designate Zenefits as its broker of record, then collected the commissions associated with the insurance product sold.
"The inducement law in Washington is clear," Kreidler said. "Everyone has to play by the same rules."
The law permits a licensed producer to offer no more than $100 per person during a consecutive period of 12 months.
Zenefits markets software's value at $29,100 to $45,000 per year. The company will determine what fee to charge its Washington customers starting Jan. 1, 2017, in accordance with the order.
Kreidler also fined Zenefits $100,000 in October 2016 for employing unlicensed producers to sell insurance in Washington. The company allowed unlicensed employees to complete 179 insurance transactions between Jan. 1, 2014 and Nov. 30, 2015. Washington is among a handful of states, most recently California, to fine Zenefits for allowing unlicensed producers to sell insurance.
Both actions resulted from a two-year investigation of Zenefits by Kreidler's office.
Kreidler's investigation also found:
- Zenefits offered individual clients up to $2,000 in cash for referring companies through a program called "Friends with Zenefits." Zenefits paid at least one individual $250 for two referrals.
- At least 25 state residents chose Zenefits as their insurance broker after a demonstration of the company's software.

Apple-Pear Crisp
For the best results, choose firm apples, such as Granny Smith or Gala, and firm, ripe pears, such as Bosc or Bartlett. These varieties will soften but still hold their shape when the crisp is baked. The pine nuts in the topping contribute an extra touch of autumn.
- 1 lb. apples, peeled
- 1 lb. pears, peeled
- 2 tsp. fresh lemon juice
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2/3 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
- 1/8 tsp. salt
- 4 Tbs. (1/2 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
- 2 Tbs. pine nuts
- Lightly whipped cream for serving
Preheat an oven to 375°F. Butter an 8-inch square baking dish.
Halve and core each apple, then cut into 1-inch cubes. Repeat with the pears. Put all the fruit in the prepared baking dish. Drizzle with the lemon juice, stirring the fruit once or twice to mix well. Spread the fruit evenly in the dish.
In a bowl, stir together the flour, brown sugar and salt. Add the butter and, using a pastry blender or 2 knives, cut the butter into the flour mixture until the mixture is grainy and the butter pieces are about the size of small peas. Add the pine nuts and mix with a fork or your fingers. Spread the topping evenly over the fruit.
Bake the crisp until the top is golden and the fruit juices are bubbling around the edges, about 50 minutes. Transfer the baking dish to a wire rack and let cool for 10 to 15 minutes. Serve warm with a dollop of whipped cream. Serves 6 to 8.

Pineapple Upside Down Cake is a regular aound most southern dinner tables and when I was a girl, it was even a regular in the school cafeteria! The flavor of a buttery cake, topped with brown sugar and that glazed slice of pineapple on top with a cherry in the center – whats not to love?
The way I make this cake is as easy as they come and you can pull off a nostalgic showstopper in no time flat! Everyone whose had my pineapple upside down cake goes on and on about how moist it is and how they just don't know what I do to get it so moist! Today, I'm going to share my secret with you – and the fact that it was a complete and total mistake that led me to having the reputation of making the moistest pineapple upside down cake around!
You'll need: Cake mix (Yellow or Pineapple Supreme), cherries, pineapple slices, brown sugar, and margarine (not pictured).
Note: The only reason why I have name brand pineapple slices for this recipe is that I was at my mother's earlier and raided her pantry for them :). Y'all know I don't buy name brand pineapple!
You'll also need the ingredients your cake mix calls for.
Turn your oven on 350 and while we are mixing up the cake batter, place a stick of margarine in a 9×13 inch pan and place in preheating oven so it melts.
Now, we're going to go by tbe box instructions on how to make our cake, with one exception.
Drain the juice from your pineapple and use that as part of the water.
My can of pineapple yielded just over 3/4 of a cup of juice so according to my package, I'm going to add enough water to make 1 1/3 cup of liquid (in place of plain water) to add.
Then we add the vegetable oil and eggs according to the box and mix it up well.
Adding in this juice is going to make our cake so flavorful!
Once your batter is mixed up, remove pan from oven. Your butter should be nice and melted like this.
Sprinkle about a cup of brown sugar over the butter in your pan.
Until it looks like this. If you need to use more than a cup you can.
Or if you eat half of it on the way to the pan….
Place your pineapple slices on top of the cake, putting a cherry in the center of each one. If you don't have cherries, don't feel like you need to go buy them special just for this, just make it pineapple only and it will still be delicious :).
Thank goodness there is always a slice or two of pineapple left in the can!!! I'm eating that right now…
Gently pour your cake batter over the pineapple.
Until it looks like this. Now place this in your 350 degree oven for about forty five minutes.
I have cake boards which I cover in foil and use to turn my cakes out onto.
Its just a thin piece of wood I had my dad cut for me.
I have them in all different sizes (I often like to make really big cakes!) and they come in so handy!
(This one was in my daughter's room. I covered it in foil before the photo so you wouldn't see all of the stick people she drew on it with her markers. We're trying to look professional here ~laughs hysterically~)
Once your cake looks done, make sure you can press on the center and it springs back a bit before you remove it from the oven (or just use the toothpick trick. Insert a toothpick in the center, if it comes out clean your cake is done).
Let sit on the counter for ten minutes.
After about ten minutes, turn your cake pan upside down onto your cake board (or whatever you are turning it out onto).
I usually make a 13×18 inch pineapple upside down cake so thats why my board is so big.
Oh my lord. I am about to eat my computer.
Now here is how I accidentally made the moistest pineapple upside down cake ever.
I made one, was running late, and had to take it to dinner at someone's house. In order to transport it, I stuck toothpicks in it all over, like in this picture (look closely to see toothpicks).
Then I covered it in cling wrap before actually letting it cool (running late, ya know…)
I tucked it in the back seat of my car and headed off while all of that lovely pineapple and brown sugar scented steam made a futile attempt to evaporate.
Kinda like this. Now everyone knows you're supposed to let cakes cool completely before covering, right? Well off I went, traveling along while my poor cake oozed steam only to have it accumulate on the wrapping and drop back down into the cake as I hit bump after bump.
When I got there, my cling wrap was dry again and my cake…well…
It was the moistest pineapple upside down cake anyone had ever eaten. 🙂
Since that day, I've gotten complaints anytime I don't fix it this way so we just keep on repeating history…
Hey, whatever works for you! ~grins~
- 1 box Yellow Cake Mix or Pineapple Supreme Cake Mix
- 1 can Pineapple Slices make sure your can has at least six. I get the large so I can eat two!
- 1 stick margarine
- 1 jar of cherries optional
- 1 C Brown Sugar
- In 9x13 inch pan, melt butter. Once butter is melted, sprinkle brown sugar all over bottom of pan. Place pineapple slices on top of brown sugar, reserving pineapple juice. Place a cherry in the center of each pineapple slice.
- Prepare cake mix as directed on package, substituting pineapple juice for some of the water called for. Slowly pour cake mix over pineapple slices and cherries.
- Bake at 350 for forty five minutes, or until toothpick insterted in cake comes out clean.
- For moister cake, cover before it has cooled completely.

The "achievement gap" in education refers to the disparity in academic performance between groups of students. It is most often used to describe the troubling performance gaps between many African-American and Hispanic students, at the lower end of the performance scale, and their non-Hispanic white peers, and the similar academic disparity between students from low-income and well-off families. The achievement gap shows up in grades, standardized-test scores, course selection, dropout rates, and college-completion rates. It has become a focal point of education reform efforts.

Your crawl space most likely suffers from high humidity and moisture, which are two important factors for mold growth. By installing a vapor barrier over your walls and over any foundation vents, we'll be able to eliminate these two conditions.
Water Damage Restoration
We have IICRC-certified technicians who can address the aftermath of floods, storms, spills, and plumbing leaks. Let us assist with mitigation. Our portable pumps will speed up water removal, and our floor scrubbers and fans will quickly dry the interior. Our team can treat your belongings for bacteria and other contaminants; we steam clean carpets and rugs and wipe down fabrics with chlorine bleach.
When water damage has hit the attic or basement, we'll run a dehumidifier and suggest that you take certain measures in the future. For example, you could have us install ventilation in the attic or provide basement waterproofing.
If you'll be getting compensation from your insurance company, let us assist. We could even testify as to the cause of the flooding and the extent of the damage.
Air Duct Cleaning
Hire us to get your air ducts cleaned. As a member of the NADCA, we know that property owners should have this job done every three to five years. We'll enter the attic or crawl space and deliver thorough results; we'll even alert you to leaks in the ductwork. In addition, we perform dryer vent cleaning, which should be an annual job. Let us remove the lint buildup in your vent, transition hose, and wall or roof cap.

As a family of foodies we often gift each other with gourmet foods. These tend to be foods that the person would not buy for themselves but not always. When we wed almost 35 years ago, my husband's parents still had kids at home. They started a Christmas tradition of giving a chocolate initial to each family member along with an institutional sized container of their favourite food (eg. dill pickles, mayonnaise, ketchup). We continued with the large sized containers of food but one of our kid's and spouse took over getting the chocolate initials. The good news is no one picked up on giving a live piglet in a dog carrier so that was a one year only foodie gift. Our BIL was ecstatic with the piglet for starting his dream of becoming a pig farmer. Two more piglets joined the lone one because not knowing anything about pigs, they need other pigs for the heat to stay warm in the winter. But I digress. Onto my foodie gifts...
There were four items in the gift bag. The tall box contained Olearia San Giorgio extra virgin, cold extracted olive oil made in Italy. This light fruit flavoured olive oil won the Sial Calad Olive D'or 2011 gold medal as well as International Recognition Olio Award 2010 in Hamburg, Germany. I can't wait to savour this olive oil! The taller jar contained Corte Donda Giardiniera made in Italy. Giardiniera is a mixture of preserved vegetables with this one being French beans, pepper, fennel, onions, cabbage, celery, carrots, sunflower oil and vinegar. The larger squatty jar to the front contained Mint & Pistachio Pesto from Bella Cucina Artful Food of Atlanta, Georgia. This pesto is a winner of the Outstanding Product Line in the International Fancy Food Show. I grow a lot of mint so this will be a product I will try to duplicate. The smallest jar was Essence of Niagara White Ice Jelly produced by the Niagara Vinegar Co. The Niagara region of Ontario is one of our favourite areas. It is home to many ward winning wineries. Actually the entire region from the Niagara spanning west along the Talbot Trail (Highway 3) close to the banks of Lake Erie to almost Windsor is a mecca for small wineries, produce stands, mushroom farms and so much more. It is a beautiful drive! We always come home laden with a multitude of foodie finds. Ice wine is made from grapes that are allowed to freeze on the vine then picked at the coldest moment of a Canadian winter's night. Each frozen grape only produces a drop of icewine which explains why icewine is so expensive. Icewine is one of the very few wines my husband will drink.
We use a lot of olive oil in our heart healthy recipes. I will be using the olive oil as a dip for homemade breads, in pesto and in homemade salad dressings. The pesto will be used in a sauce as well as a spread, possibly for dipping breads as well. The icewine jelly will be used as a glaze for brie of which I forgot to mention the package of Castello Rosenborg Brie (made in Denmark) for this purpose. The giardiniera will be used as a condiment similar to pickles. Thanks so much to the gift givers. You know who you are. These wonderful foodie gifts are very much appreciated! I can't wait to visit Pusateri's the next time we are in the GTA!

IMPHAL, May 13: Thadou Students' Association (TSA) has expressed concern over allotting only six Thadou-Kuki MIL posts in the recruitment of teachers for Rashtriya Madhyamik Siksha Abhiyan (RMSA).
TSA in a press release claimed that Thadou-Kuki is the second largest populous tribe producing largest number of candidates in the HSLC and HSSLC examinations amongst all tribes in the State.
It added, having population of 2.4 lakhs, 2437 and 1848 candidates of Thadou-Kuki tribe appeared in the HSLC and HSSLC examinations respectively this year.
On the contrary, it added, 1250 and 491 Tangkhul candidates appeared in the two same examinations respectively.
It went on further that the population of Tangkhul is only 1.6 lakhs as per 2011 Census.
TSA said that 17 posts are however given to Tangkhul while only six posts to Thadou-Kuki at the ratio of 28:1 for the former and 301:1 for the latter.
TSA further contended, 63 MIL teachers must be created for Thadou-Kuki if the same rate of Tangkhul MIL is applied.
TSA warned, in the light of the above mentioned facts, intense agitation would be initiated if the anomalies created in the advertisement are not rectified.
The students' body said that TSA is not against the allocation of more posts to other tribes but against the injustice done to Thadou-Kuki.

Assessing risks to investors, markets and financial stability
In order to protect investors, ensure orderly markets and safeguard financial stability it is necessary to identify and assess, at an early stage, trends, potential risks and vulnerabilities stemming from the micro-prudential level, across borders and across sectors.
Particular attention is paid to any systemic risk posed by financial market participants or related to financial innovation that may impair the operation of the financial system or the real economy.
ESMA monitors and assesses such developments in the area of its competence and, where necessary, informs the European Parliament, the Council, the Commission, the other European Supervisory Authorities and the ESRB on a regular and, as necessary, on an ad hoc basis. ESMA continuously strengthens its capabilities to identify and assess risks to investors, orderly markets and financial stability in the EU.
Risk assessment focuses on important market risks that could harm ESMA's objectives of investor protection, orderly markets and financial stability. This entails both the monitoring of known market risks and the identification of new manifestations of risks through the following actions:
- analysis and development of micro- and macro-prudential policy instruments in the non-banking sector;
- enhancing the availability of information at EU level for investors, market participants and regulators via an up to date IT and data strategy;
- developing innovative and practical analytical tools (e.g. risk indicators, stress testing);
- improving insight in and oversight of financial innovation; and
- further intensifying cooperation with similar functions at national authorities and other relevant international and EU authorities.
ESMA's Reports in the Area of Market surveillance
Twice a year, ESMA produces the Trends, Risks and Vulnerabilities report (TRV report) composed of three parts:
- the Trends part highlights market developments, identifies market trends and compares them over time and across markets;
- the Risk part is an analysis based on ESRB/ESA categories; and
- the Vulnerabilities part is composed of topical articles on current and emerging vulnerabilities.
- The TRV report is complemented by the quarterly Risk Dashboard. Two occurrences of the Risk Dashboard are integral components of the TRV. The other two are stand-alone publications. This report analyses various risks in securities markets at EU level: systemic risk, liquidity risk, market risk, contagion risk, credit risk and operational risk.
ESMA also takes part in the production of the ESA Joint Committee's Report on Risks and Vulnerabilities in the EU Financial System which focuses mainly on cross-sectoral risks.
ESMA's risk assessment draws on data and statistics sourced and managed through an integrated approach, ensuring high quality, efficient management and effective use. This is particularliy the case for the proprietary data that ESMA collects. As part of this integrated approach we have established an Annual Statistical Report series. These reports complement ESMA's ongoing market monitoring through the TRV report and the Risk Dashboard.
In its Annual Statistical Report series ESMA currently covers:
- EU derivatives markets, based on EMIR data,
- EU alternative investment funds, drawing on AIFMD data, and
- the cost and past performance of long-term retail investment products (UCITS, retail AIFs and structured retail products).

By David Chazan in Paris
A controversial French chef who was Pamela Anderson's associate in her short-lived "sexy vegan" restaurant venture near Saint-Tropez faces a court hearing for insolvency today.
Anderson announced that she was ending her involvement in the pop-up eatery, La Table du Marche by Pamela, on Wednesday, only eight days after it opened.
It emerged that the chef, Christophe Leroy, who also ran another Saint-Tropez restaurant, Les Moulins de Ramatuelle, had financial problems and allegedly failed to pay staff.
Leroy, 53, declined to comment. His lawyer, Thierry Fradet, told Le Parisien newspaper: "The numerous unpaid bills are explained by the administrative closure of the Moulins de Ramatuelle last summer."
He added: "Everyone will be paid in the very near future."
The commercial court of Frejus will now decide whether to order the compulsory liquidation of Mr LeRoy's company, CL Developpement. According to France's Official Receiver, eight other companies belonging to Mr Leroy have also been placed in receivership or compulsory liquidation over the past 20 years. The chef was apparently hoping that his association with Anderson would relaunch his career.
The former Baywatch actress, 50, gave few details about the motives for her decision to pull out of the venture, which she had initially billed as "a sexy vegan experience in my favourite village." She said she could not "condone the mistreatment of staff or complete lack of respect."
Before the restaurant's July 4 opening, she had invited Emmanuel Macron, the President of France, and his wife to dine there, saying she hoped to persuade the president to grant asylum to her friend Julian Assange, the WikiLeaks founder.
Her meetings with Assange at the Ecuadorean embassy in London sparked tabloid rumours that the pair were dating.
In a recent interview she told People magazine: "Julian is trying to free the world by educating it. It is a romantic struggle – I love him for this.
"I understand that our 'affair' and the curiosity surrounding that might bring some attention to his situation. That's fine, but I'd rather not go into private details. Let's just say everyone deserves love."
As well as financial improprieties, Leroy was accused of mismanaging the vegan restaurant, which was supposed to have lasted for 50 days, but closed after only nine.
One customer, who declined to make his name public, told Le Parisien that he had waited an hour for a bottle of wine and was served an undercooked risotto. "For 350 euros, it's a scandal," he said.
An award-winning chef, Leroy became a culinary celebrity at the age of only 24 by cooking a wedding dinner for Johnny Hallyday, the French rocker.
Anderson said she was "extremely disappointed" that her restaurant venture with Leroy "did not meet expectations or agreements."

"Spiders are the 8-legged creepy crawlies we all love to hate."
They are small in size but big in scare factor. These creepy crawlies have several species in Australia that are dangerous and poisonous, however, the chance of experiencing a dangerous encounter with one is highly unlikely.
The Sydney Funnel Web is the most toxic and deadliest in Australia. This species inhabits the forest and urban regions of New South Wales. Not commonly coming into contact with humans, when threatened, this species can be very aggressive, cause severe pain and damage to the nervous system, however thanks to the antivenom no fatalities have been recorded for decades.
Attribution: Provaprova at Wikimedia Commons
Funnel Webs in general add up to about 40 different species, predominantly inhabiting areas throughout southern Queensland and northern New South Wales. 30-40 victims are bitten annually, however, antivenom has proven effective.

Redbacks inhabit our continent Australia-wide, hiding out in dry places, including urban areas, such as sheds and letterboxes. Up to 2000 bites are reported annually and about 250 victims receive antivenom. The female (recognized by its red striped back) inflicts the worst bite, causing severe pain, lasting many hours and up to days, depending on the individual's reaction. Nausea, malaise and lethargy are common symptoms.

The Mouse Spider is generally found in burrows, close to rivers and waterways, and sometimes suburban areas. They are rather quiet in character and rarely aggressive. Their venom is similar to that of the Funnel Web and bites are treated similarly. No fatalities have been reported from this species.

Trap Doors are named after their ability to construct their burrow with the entrance cleverly camouflaged, so their prey fall in and become trapped. They are found in both bushland and urban areas, inflicting only minor effects on humans when bitten. Symptoms include nausea, malaise and lethargy.
Attribution: LA Dawson at Wikimedia Commons
The White-tailed Spider is characterized by the white tip at the end of its body. It is found in both bushland and urban areas throughout southern Australia, from southern Queensland towards and including Tasmania and all the way across from the east to west coast of the Australian mainland. Bites are not fatal and are limited to localized pain in the bite region.

I thought that headline might grab some of you!
It occurred to me when reading "The Scouring of the Shire" to the kids the other day, that "The Scouring" could be seen as Tolkien's answer to That Hideous Strength. The Lord of the Rings was written after THS. In fact, wasn't there something about Lewis and Tolkien challenging each other to write stories--Lewis's was going to be a space story and Tolkien's a time story? The Space Trilogy vs. LOTR, which is set in the far reaches of the past?
Compare and contrast Frodo (wounded, tempered by his personal failure) to Ransom (wounded, but having been successful on Perelandra). Gandalf (absent because they don't need him any more and his mission is done) to Merlin (who had to be invoked deus ex machina). You could even compare and contrast the Studdocks with Sam and Rosie. Then there is the almost vengeful violence of the end of THS vs. Frodo's admonition to avoid violence if at all possible. No hobbit should be killed even if he really went over to the other side vs. Wither and Frost.

NPR Summary
Banned in the United States until 1966, Fanny Hill was once considered immoral and utterly lacking in literary merit. It's the rollicking tale of a naive young girl in 18th century London who falls into prostitution — and still ends up rich and happy. Today, Fanny Hill is considered an important work of political parody and sexual philosophy.

Volume I
Sit down to give you an undeniable proof of my considering your desires asindispensible orders: ungracious then as the task may be, I shall recall to viewthose scandalous stages of my life, out of which I emerg'd at length, to theenjoyment of every blessing in the power of love, health, and fortune to bestow;whilst yet in the flower of youth, and not too late to employ the leisureafforded me by great ease and affluence, to cultivate an understanding naturallynot a despicable one, and which had, even amidst the whirl of loose pleasures Ihad been tost in, exerted more observation on the characters and manners of theworld, than what is common to those of my unhappy profession, who looking on allthought or reflexion as their capital enemy, keep it at as great a distance asthey can, or destroy it without mercy.
Hating, as I mortally do, all long unnecessary prefaces, I shall give you goodquarter in this, and use no farther apology, than to prepare you for seeing theloose part of my life, wrote with the same liberty that I led it.
Truth! Stark naked truth, is the word, and I will not so much as take the painsto bestow the strip of a gauze-wrapper on it, but paint situations such as theyactually rose to me in nature, careless of violating those laws of decency, thatwere never made for such unreserved intimacies as ours; and you have too muchsense, too much knowledge of the originals themselves, to snuff prudishly, andout of character, at the pictures of them. The greatest men, those of the firstand most leading taste, will not scruple adorning their private closets withnudities, though, in compliance with vulgar prejudices they may not think themdecent decorations of the stair-case or saloon.
This, and enough, premised, I go souse into my personal history. My maiden namewas Francis Hill. I was born at a small village near Liverpool in Lancashire, ofparents extremely poor, and I piously believe, extremely honest.
My father, who had received a maim on his limbs that disabled him from followingthe more laborious branches of country-drudgery, got, by making of nets, ascanty subsistance, which was not much enlarg'd by my mother's keeping a littleday-school for the girls in her neighbourhood. They had had several children,but none lived to any age, except myself, who had received from nature aconstitution perfectly healthy.
My education, till past fourteen, was no better than very vulgar; reading, orrather spelling, an illegible scrawl, and a little ordinary plain-work, composedthe whole system of it: and then all my foundation in virtue was no other than atotal ignorance of vice, and the shy timidity general to our sex, in the tenderstage of life, when objects alarm, or frighten more by their novelty, than anything else: but then this is a fear too often cured at the expence of innocence,when Miss, by degrees, begins no longer to look on man as a creature of preythat will eat her.
