MILFORD — Among the tsunami of conspiracy books that has poured across the cultural landscape since Nov. 22, 1963, perhaps the most mysterious is a book that may no longer exist – the diary of a beautiful woman with local roots.
The story of Mary Pinchot Meyer emerged slowly in the wake of John F. Kennedy's assassination.
While walking down a canal towpath in Washington's Rock Creek Park in October 1964, the 43-year-old Milford native and Washington socialite was shot at close range in the head and heart.
Raymond Crump Jr., the man arrested and charged with her murder, was acquitted due to lack of evidence.
Meyer was the niece of Pennsylvania Gov. Gifford Pinchot and the former wife of Cord Meyer, a top CIA operative.
She grew up in Grey Towers, the family mansion in Milford, Pa., that JFK visited at a dedication ceremony less than a month before his assassination.
Meyer was on stage with Kennedy when he dedicated the Milford estate to the U.S. Forest Service.
Meyer was believed to be one of JFK's lovers. Conspiracy theorists have proposed over the years that a purported diary she's believed to have kept detailing her affair may have been the reason for her death.
At the time of her death, Kennedy's sexual affairs were known to only a few insiders, family members and protectors of the Kennedy legend.
The revelation that Meyer had been carrying on an affair with the president from 1961 to just before his murder would have been explosive news in 1964.
But some theorists hold that the diary might have shed light on the assassination itself, or shed light on secrets the CIA was eager to keep hidden from the public.
There appears to be little doubt that Meyer kept a diary; she told a friend named Ann Truitt to find the diary if anything should happen to her.
If that sounds like the plot of a Hollywood movie, the plot gets thicker with the introduction of some familiar figures among conspiracy theorists.
When Meyer was murdered, Truitt was out of the country. Truitt asked her brother-in-law, Washington Post editor Ben Bradlee, of Watergate fame, to look for it.
At the same time, the CIA's legendary counterintelligence chief, James Jesus Angleton, also went searching for the diary.
Although various accounts claim the diary was eventually found, it's unclear to this day what became of it.
Perhaps the biggest remaining mystery surrounding the murder of Mary Pinchot Meyer is why Hollywood has yet to finish the script she appears to have begun writing nearly 50 years ago.

To the left, a glimpse of the verge, of brambles and elderflower, before the hard, fast grey of the motorway; the rush of cars, vans, coaches, of lorries emblazoned with company logos: TNT, Thermalite, Eddie Stobart. Frail red poppies dance by the roadside, vehicles change lanes, shift gear, pull on to slip roads, everything moving ceaselessly as the wind comes charging at your legs. Stand here on the bridge, where the railing is rusted and the tarmac is warm underfoot, and look down at the M1, at the mad roar below, the chaos beneath your feet.
For the last 50 years, the M1 motorway has run through this stretch of Britain. The country's first inter-urban motorway connects Leeds and London and runs 193 miles long. Its first section opened in 1959 at what is now junction 5 and ran as far as junction 18. Since then it has been extended both south and north, and widened to accommodate the growth in traffic; in 1959 it carried 13,000 cars a day, today it serves at least 88,000 vehicles a day.
This was not the first road completed to motorway standard - the Preston bypass, opened in 1958, had this honour, but it was the M1 that succeeded in joining Yorkshire and London in a kind of high-speed pact, providing a new route for heavy-goods vehicles and commuters and, just as the canals and the railways had once done, making the country seem that bit smaller.
Between junctions 16 and 17 stands Watford Gap services. Built on derelict farm buildings and opened at the same time as the M1, it was the first service station in the UK. Today it looks much the same as Britain's other service stations: a low-lying building surrounded by a vast parking area, petrol pumps, articulated lorries.
Inside is a strange clutter of the useful and the trivial: leaflets for the Canal Museum and Woburn Safari Park, cash machines, photo booths and massage chairs. You can buy fake tattoos, mixed grills, roadmaps, desk fans and camping chairs, and the travellers who have stopped here today seem to float between each attraction, stretching legs, smoothing hair, finding their land legs after several hours in motion.
They find a Restbite and a Costa Coffee, a Wimpy and a WH Smith, its shelves crammed with magazines and newspapers, cuddly toys reduced to clear, travel mugs, alarm clocks, anti-nausea wristbands and emergency ponchos; anything to ease the journey. There are magnetic chess sets and pick'n'mix, baguettes, de-icer, guides to the Cotswolds and box-set CDs: the Best of the O'Jays, Pure Power Ballads, Simply Celtic Moods.
Outside, under the blank-eyed stare of the Premier Inn, businessmen are eating burgers and drinking lattes, and a woman watches her young son play in the automatic door. On a bench sits Alistair Baxter from Washington, Tyne and Wear, enjoying a coffee, resting his back. Today he is travelling the M1 in part for business and in part for pleasure.
"I used to drive the M1 very frequently but a lot less now," he says. The motorway has changed considerably over the years. "There are more roadworks now, lane changes, things designed to cope with more traffic, I suppose." He glances down at his coffee. "And the service stations are enormously improved," he adds, "which is long overdue; they've been terrible for a long, long time."
He enjoys driving, he says. "I like travelling, I like cars, I like being in control. I listen to music when I drive, to Classic FM or my own CDs, wonderful oratorios, things like that, Handel's Messiah, Haydn's Creation."
An RAC membership wagon sits in the car park; its attendant sits in the front seat of his car, taking a breather, newspaper spread across his lap. For the last five years he has come to Watford Gap services twice a week, and he speaks of the M1 as an old friend, fondly and familiarly.
"There's so much traffic now," he notes. "There are denser spots - I would say between 28 and 30 and from the M6 to 15A particularly. The road isn't dangerous, but certain drivers are ..." He raises his voice above the constant roar of the road: "The M1," he says, loud yet tender, "is a very good road."

Gross Helps Fuel New Fund With His Own Cash
Brokerage Tied to 'Bond King' Routed More Than $700 Million to Gross's New Fund in October and November
After Bill Gross abruptly quit Pacific Investment Management Co., the bond-fund giant he co-founded, in September to join a much smaller rival, the big question was how much money would follow him.
His new firm, Janus Capital Group Inc., subsequently disclosed that investors poured about $1.1 billion into Mr. Gross's new fund in October and November. That money was critical, because it helped push the Janus Global Unconstrained Bond fund past $1 billion in assets under management, a key threshold for large investors, according...

We put a lot of time into relationships simply to get to know the other person better. We want to learn all about each other-- all of the likes and dislikes, whether it be simple things like hobbies, food, music, or books, or more serious matters like religion, world view, or ethics. It's an important part of every relationship.
But how well do you know yourself? Have you spent that same amount of time getting to know what you really like or dislike? Are you opening yourself up to new experiences so that you can get to know yourself better? Are you allowing others to dictate who you are and what you like? Are you passively living life?
Last year, my life hit a very low point due to depression. I was at rock bottom, but found that I had the strength to pull myself up and keep going. The experience changed me. It changed the way that I perceive the world and it completely shattered my sense of identity. I was left feeling like I didn't know who I was anymore.
Over the past year, I have worked on self-development. I found courage to experience the things that I was once too afraid to do. I developed a new appreciation for the struggles of others, no matter what they may be. I realized that health and happiness were a precious gift. I put myself out there and cautiously made new friends and learned that not everyone had malicious intent towards me as it had been in the past.
More than anything, I have learned that you can always change. You're not stuck being someone you are not happy being. You have a choice. Life can happen to you, or you can make life happen. You cannot play the victim in life because that is what limits you.
You cannot grow if you are stuck in self-pity--it may definitely be a part of the journey (and that's ok), but it's not the destination. If you remain there, well, you won't be going anywhere in life. This is a lesson I'm still learning.
After taking time to be cognizant of my thoughts, feelings, and actions-- I began to get to know myself better. I began to learn what made me tick, what made me anxious, and what made me happy. I began to recognize when I needed to rest, and when I needed to live a little, instead of just being lost in the emotions of it all.
I learned to be introspective in times when I felt overwhelmed and didn't know why. And I've learned a lot. Here are just some of the things I've learned:
I've learned that I enjoy painting. I find it therapeutic. Prior to this, I never painted because I didn't think I was artistic.
I've learned that sometimes I just need to be alone in silence, and that's ok.
I've learned that I don't have to be perfect at something in order to do it.
I've learned that I thrive on a clear cut plan and become anxious without a plan.
I've learned that a change of plans is like a curve ball for me, for whatever reason.
I've learned that most moms are struggling in some way and that I'm not the only one who doesn't have it all together--and that's ok too.
I've learned that dieting isn't going to work, the problem is much deeper than that and controlling external factors will not heal the internal problems.
I've learned that I don't know what I might enjoy, or be good at, until I've tried it. I can't just assume that I'm not good at something.
I've learned that I don't have to fit into just one label, and maybe who I am will change throughout the years.
I've learned to be grateful for difficult experiences because they cause me to grow.
I've learned that my thoughts are the determining factor of my happiness-- and so they must be controlled.
I've learned that I'm actually not that bad at decorating cupcakes, even though I told myself I was horrible at it.
I've learned that too much noise makes me anxious.
I've learned that my creativity is my gift--and yes, I've learned to acknowledge that I am creative.
I've learned that I am a great mom, even if I'm not perfect-- no one is.
I've learned that I listen to the words of a song more than to the music itself.
I've learned that I enjoy being with a small group of people, but that I will need to recharge later.
I've learned that sleep is almost always the medicine that I need.
I've learned that I can feel an emotion without knowing why and that digging deeper is the only way that I can figure it out.
I've learned that I have so much more to learn.
There are a million things that I want to try and a million things that I want to learn. But even so, these external activities are simply ways to expand my knowledge of who I am. There are a million more things that I could learn about my internal being, as in what's in my heart, mind, and soul.
I believe that with frequent introspection and analysis of our behaviors, we can learn more about ourselves and ultimately become better people who are more in tune with God, ourselves, and can then be more empathetic of others. It's about having the humility to admit when we're wrong, and be willing to make a change--because change is always possible.
How well do you know yourself? What's something you've learned about yourself lately? What are you doing to open yourself up to more experiences?

text: Places to Check for Leaking Air Prior to Furnace Service in Your Bossier City Home Posted October 21, 2015 As you prep for your annual furnace maintenance this season, take a second to consider breaking down the amount that you spend on heating and cooling throughout the year. Then, think about the last time you've walked around and checked for leaky doors and windows. It's something that practically all homes have to deal with, but there is a large portion of money going between the cracks, going out the window – literally. However, most of the cracks and leaks can be easily taken care of on your own, helping you save money throughout the year. Plus, it can help you maximize the bonuses of your annual furnace service too, helping you potentially hold on to more heat while helping to increase energy efficiency and your comfort. So where should you search for those annoying leaks? The attic. Attics are well-known for allowing the most air out of your home, so view these specific areas while up in your attic: Stud cavities around your home could be open, or uninsulated, meaning air can easily leak out, leaving you with a less-than-comfortable home and considerably impacting your energy efficiency as well. If you want to get the most out of your annual furnace service, make sure you fill these holes to better insulate your home. Recessed lights usually have vents that open in to the attic, which leaves the door open for heat loss. Make sure your lights come pre-sealed or add an airtight baffle to take care of the problem on unsealed lights. Attic access doors normally aren't thought of when you change or install weatherstripping to other windows or doors around your house but can let quite a bit of heat get in to your attic. All house openings. Windows and doors are normally the key culprits for lost heat, and rightfully so. Check to make sure the weatherstripping on all of your doors is in working order and is not cracked or torn. If it is, replace it. Check the perimeter of all of your home's windows, both in and outdoor, inspecting the caulking. It's easy to use a caulking gun to plug any holes you uncover. If your home has a chimney, ensure any holes around the flue or chimney itself are properly covered with aluminum flashing to inhibit air flow. The variety of ways you can get the most out of your annual furnace service dollars is awfully long, but if you take a little time to tackle the list we've outlined, you can probably make your home more efficient and more comfortable. If you have any questions about these pointers or are just looking to set up furnace service, give Central Aire Heating & A/C Inc a call at 318-855-2326. Back To Blog

Poor little guy! It looks like he will be fine, though. Isn't it great how young children recover from injuries and sickness so quickly? My son broke his jaw a couple of years ago and had to have it wired together for 6 weeks! It was something none of us want to go through again. He broke his collar bone a couple of years before that. Hopefully your Jacob won't continue breaking bones!ReplyDelete
I loved visiting your blog! The birthday party for your now-teenaged daughter looks like it must have been so much fun! I laughed when you said that the girls agreed to play the games you had planned. At that age, it's sometimes hard to tell what they might or might not want to do! They sure do grow up quickly.Replies
Thanks for sharing Wendy! It deffinately sounds like an ordeal you all went through with your son.Delete
I really thought all the girls would roll their eyes at me about the games. They were ages 13-18! But they were such good sports and I think they even had fun!
God bless.

Mary Alicia Owen (1850-1935)
Mary Alicia Owen lived her entire life—except for many travels throughout the country and abroad—in the town of St. Joseph, Missouri. She was always interested in people and became famous for writing about the Native Americans and African Americans who lived in and around her hometown. Many of the books, stories, and articles Owen wrote were works of folklore. Folklore is the study of people and their legends, religions, and traditions. She traveled across the United States and Europe to talk about the folklore of Missouri. At one time Owen was called the most famous woman folklorist in the world.
Early Years & Education
Mary Alicia Owen was born in St. Joseph, Missouri, on January 29, 1850. Mary's grandparents, Agnes Gilmore Crookes Cargill and James Cargill, their four grown children, and two slaves, moved to St. Joseph from what is now West Virginia in September 1843. The town had just been founded and was still a small village of about 400 people. James Cargill built one of the town's first gristmills and, as St. Joseph grew, he became a successful businessman.
The Cargills's youngest child, Agnes Jeanette Cargill, married James A. Owen when she was seventeen years old on August 3, 1848. James Owen was a lawyer from Kentucky who moved to Missouri in 1846. After their marriage, James Owen joined his father-in-law in the mill business. During the 1850s the partners continued to do well and both became important members of their quickly growing community. The Owen family also began to grow. Between 1850 and 1860, James and Agnes Owen had five children. Mary Alicia was the oldest. Her younger brother and sisters were named Luella Agnes, Herbert Alfred, Florence Alma, and Juliette Amelia.
When Mary was a small child, she lived with her mother, father, and grandparents. At that time the Cargill family owned six slaves. Later in her life, Mary would recall how she loved to listen to the myths and stories told by the slaves. As an adult, she wrote about one slave in the Cargill house, Mymee Whitehead, who was a conjurer. Conjure, or Hoodoo as it is sometimes called, is the African American folk practice of using spells or creating potions to ask the spirit world for help. Mary loved to watch "Aunt" Mymee prepare special potions. She sometimes helped by getting needed ingredients from her grandmother's kitchen.
When Mary was nine years old, the Owen family built a large house at the corner of Ninth and Jules Streets in St, Joseph. Mary, along with her sisters Luella and Juliette, lived in the house for the rest of their lives.
Confederate is the term used to identify an individual who was loyal to the Confederacy.
Mary resumed her studies after the war. She attended Patee Female College in St. Joseph for three years. In 1869 Mary traveled to Poughkeepsie, New York, to attend Vassar College. At the time, most women's colleges only trained young ladies to be schoolteachers. Vassar was one of the first colleges in the United States that gave women the same education as men.

rustic adj. of, pertaining to, or living in the country, as distinguished from towns or cities; rural.
Spiders, bugs, ticks, snapping turtles, geese poop, cold, wind, rain, ticks and wet socks…these are all the things that make me cringe when I think about spending time outdoors, specifically, in the country. A decade ago I would have said the opposite of myself. I used to be a seasoned outdoors-woman, the kind you see in Patagonia catalogs – complete with handmade hemp necklace and Teva tanned feet. Girl Scouts served as a refuge for my difficult childhood / teen years and I came to enjoy the beauty of the natural world. It became my comfort when I had no other. I knew how to survive, how to pitch canvas tents with stakes and start campfires with one match. I taught boating and canoeing, was a certified waterfront lifeguard who swam under docks during drills. I could repel, hike, brave rapids and cook a mean shepherd's stew on an open fire. This past weekend as I listened to myself whining about the hard mattress I had to sleep on and the bug bites on my ankles during our annual trip out to my in law's lake house, I started to wonder what had happened to make me so much different from the girl that used to count the days until the next camping trip…and more importantly, how to get some of her back.
My son is well on his way to becoming a lover of nature and the outdoors. He caught his first fish this past weekend and loves throwing rocks into the lake for hours on end. His knees are eternally bruised and scraped from running and climbing outside. He sat at the fire circle this past weekend and I could see in his face joy as the light from the flames danced across his cheeks. I knew that joy once too. The nights of singing silly songs and acting out skits that only my friends and I thought were hysterical. The memories are as sweet as the piles of s'mores we ate and the sticky tree limbs we left behind from all of the charred marshmallows we roasted.
I also remember the not so pleasant things about living in the woods. The way you had to let yourself get completely bitten up by bugs and mosquitos for the first few weeks of the summer in order to become immune to their venom. The rolling over in the morning to find a squished daddy long legs on your pillow when you woke up. The rush to tie up tent flaps when a thunderstorm ran its path through the woods. Walking to the latrine in the middle of the pitch black night with a small flashlight and hearing the hidden animals around you rustle. I endured these things summer after summer, year after year, always returning to camp eagerly, yet now I scream at the mere sight of a spider.
To enjoy camping and the outdoors, you have to surrender control to a thing much bigger than you, that thing being nature. And these days, that scares the hell out of me…but I really, really want to find a way. I suppose at 36 years old, I have a lot more to lose than 17 year old me did. Still, I don't want to be the suburban housewife standing idly clutching her handbag and reading texts while her husband buys their son their first mess kit. I feel that would be selling myself short. So in the next few months, I am going to try and give it my all. I am not going to turn this into an REI shopping spree either. No gear will be bought, no books other than my old scout handbook and some Google searches are needed. I'm going to go deep and find that person inside me that used to do all of those cool, outdoorsy things. This will be the most important badge I've ever worked for. Hopefully I don't hurt myself or anyone else, but I'll have to face it if it happens. There are bags of marshmallows waiting and wood teepees to build fires for them to roast on. But most importantly, there are all of those amazing camp songs I know are being wasted on bed time when they sounds so much better echoing through the forest, the way they were meant to be sung.
"Thousands of tired, nerve-shaken, over-civilized people are beginning to find out going to the mountains is going home; that wilderness is a necessity…"

Today we're responding to a reader request, sent in via the "Ask a Question" link in the top navigation. (If you have questions to ask, please submit them by clicking the link!)
The reader brought up a longstanding CMS question…why pay for a CMS like Sitefinity, when WordPress is free?
We actually talk about several reasons to pay for a CMS in our white paper, Open Source Vs. Proprietary CMS: Which is Stronger?.
But this paper talks primarily in terms of Open Source CMS vs. Closed Source/Proprietary CMS. Let's get a little more specific in this post. Just Sitefinity CMS vs. WordPress. Is one better than the other? What justifications might exist for paying for Sitefinity?
When a Free CMS like WordPress is a Good Choice
Yes, I'm going to say it. There ARE instances where WordPress (or another free CMS like it) is a good choice for a business website.
In general, I'd say to consider WordPress if your needs sound similar to any of the following.
- You're a new business which needs a basic "starter" website.
- You're a creative professional, such as a designer, and don't want all of your work homed in social profiles.
- You're a freelancer who needs a portfolio (non-ecommerce) website.
- You're a Small Business with no IT department (yet).
- You're a Small Business which focuses more on social profiles than a website. This is called the "home base" strategy; your website just serves as "home base" while you go out on social.
- You just want to start a blog. (The original purpose of WordPress…who'd have thought?)
In these instances, just about any CMS will do the job. WordPress, with its thousands of plugins and even more themes, makes for a quick and cheap solution.
That said, it's not for everyone…
When a Proprietary CMS like Sitefinity is a Good Choice
There are also instances where a bigger, sturdier CMS like Sitefinity is the better choice.
We've built Sitefinity websites for businesses and organizations fitting each of the following criteria. In general, if they apply to you too, it's worth paying for Sitefinity CMS.
- Businesses with multiple departments (or branch locations), where people from each department/location will need to update the website.
- Businesses who need to stay compliant with federal/state regulatory requirements, such as SOX or HIPAA.
- Businesses already using a Microsoft IT infrastructure. (This is because Sitefinity uses ASP.NET in its development. As such, we recommend you only run it on Windows Servers.)
- Businesses who use digital marketing initiatives.
- Organizations who must stay vigilant about security.
- Businesses with non-technical users. And let me expound a little more on this point, because it's extra-important.
Non-Technical Users on Sitefinity: Keeping Updates Easy
Over the last few years I've gained a lot of training experience. I've conducted Sitefinity training sessions for dozens of our customers' employees. Some were what you'd call "technical people." But most were not.
From the trainer's perspective, it's easy to spot the difference.
Technical users will ask questions like, "How do we tie in Vendor X's service?"
Non-technical users will ask questions like, "Where do I go to update a page?"
The non-technical user's answer is very simple. Just go to the Pages section. Click a page. Update the part you want to update. Don't forget to click Publish.
Every time I answer this question for non-technical users, it only takes a few minutes for them to grasp the process.
The way Sitefinity is structured lends itself not only to easy updating, but also easy information-finding. "Where's the blog?" Under the Content menu. Click Blogs.
"Where did Bob put that news article?" It's under the Content menu too. Click News.
"We need to change the address in the footer. But it's on all the pages!" It's in a shared content block. Look in Content Blocks.
"Can I change the description tag for search engines?" Sure! Click the Actions link to the right of the page name. Click Title & Properties. "Description" is the field you want.
Of course there's a lot more you can do in terms of website updates. But I can convey the basic update process in a few minutes. Consider how much employee time this saves…a few minutes to make one page update, as opposed to scrambling around the CMS, trying to dig up that one spot where this one update is stored.
I've lost HOURS chasing down updates for customers in the past. Their CMS buried the details and gave me zero direction. (I did figure it out. But I spent time I didn't really need to, as a result of their CMS getting in the way.)
Is it easier to update pages in Sitefinity than it is in WordPress? Personally, I think it is. That's because WordPress divides its content between several different areas – Widgets, Posts, Pages, Appearance > Themes, plugins, etc. I know where things are (usually) and it doesn't take long to update content (usually).
But in Sitefinity, most of the page content is concentrated or accessible in one place—the Page Editor. Click on a page and you're in.
Easy page updating is one big part of why we recommend Sitefinity. For technical and non-technical users alike.
Before Choosing, Ask Yourself What's Most Important for Your Website Moving Forward
Websites have undergone something of a standardization in recent years. The growth of mobile Web use has encouraged a simple, easy-to-navigate user experience. Many Content Management Systems have updated their tools to work within such a user experience. Including WordPress. And Sitefinity.
I know it's overly simplistic. But when you're asking "which CMS do we use for our website?" the best answer is, "It depends on the website."
- What do you want the website to do for your audience?
- What should it do for your employees?
- How much are you willing to pay up front?
- How much can you pay for website support down the line?
- How long will you keep the website's current version before upgrading?
- Do you have an employee who can dedicate time to maintaining the website, or will you contract website maintenance out?
Answer those questions before choosing Sitefinity or WordPress. It'll make the choice—and the work to build the website—a lot easier.
Which CMS does your website use? Sitefinity? WordPress? Something else? Please comment or email with the CMS, and why you chose it.

A BoE rate hike is an unnecessary risk
This August, we expect the Bank of England (BoE) to stand and deliver only their second interest rate rise in the past ten years. However, given that inflation has surprised to the downside, wage growth has remained subdued and the overall macro and political headwinds, a rate hike is an unnecessary risk.
27 July 2018
Different this time
Over the last year we have commented several times on the actions (or inaction) of the BoE, having been firmly of the view that this will prove to be a very shallow interest rate hiking cycle compared to what we have seen in the past. We even suggested the rate rise in November 2017 could be 'one and done' for the next 12 months - a notion that has been tested more than once of late!
For instance, market expectations had gravitated towards an interest rate hike in May, with an assigned probability of over 90 per cent, only for UK economic data to soften and rate rise expectations to collapse. And so, here we are again, with the probability of an August UK rate hike registering at around 90 per cent. Yet this time, we expect the BoE to stand and deliver only their second interest rate rise in the past ten years.
Source. Thomson Reuters Datastream, Fidelity International, July 2018
Why is this time any different? From a credibility perspective, having prematurely raised market expectations on more than one occasion, the BoE may well believe they now have to deliver a rate rise in August. Moreover, the argument put forward by the BoE is relatively consistent - a strident belief that the UK economy is growing above its meagre trend growth and that inflation is likely to pick-up as a result.
The latest rebound in GDP data is seen as sufficient justification for MPC members to believe the first quarter slowdown was merely a blip. The new monthly GDP series also suggests the UK economy is growing at 0.3–0.4 per cent quarter-on-quarter - though still quite paltry within a historical context and possibly influenced on the consumer side by one-off factors, such as the royal wedding, the football world cup and the extraordinarily warm weather.
Unnecessary risk
Is a rate hike the right thing to do? While a recent pick-up in growth fits in with the BoE's broader narrative of a previous weather-related slowdown, the other pillar of the BoE's reasoning was that inflation would continue on a steady footing (following the currency related rise) and wages would pick up due to tighter labour market conditions.
However, not only has inflation surprised to the downside, but it is also within a whisker of the 2 per cent target - with core CPI at its weakest level since March 2017. Wage growth also remains stubbornly subdued, with little sign of the pressure easing on UK households in the near-term. Mindful of the global and domestic macro and political backdrop (namely ongoing UK government instability), I continue to believe that a prospective rate hike is an unnecessary risk.
Source: Thomson Reuters Datastream, Fidelity International, July 2018
Intriguingly, since the case for a rate rise was touted in March, UK 10-year gilt yields have moved closer to their lows for the year (circa 1.3 per cent at present). Market participants are rightly looking beyond August's meeting and perhaps now echo our views that the prospect for further rate increases is gradual at best, with any hikes likely to be accompanied by a dovish tone.
That said, the fall in UK gilt yields chimes with the broader global trend we have seen in the last few months. In the US, 10-year treasury yields have fallen from their peak in May to below 3 per cent again. The reason for this, and why I believe we have seen the peak in yields for this year, is the moderation of the 'synchronised growth' theme. Should late cycle concerns intensify after the summer lull, investors may well be questioning the prospect of further rate hikes before the turn of the year (not just in the UK, but also in the US).
While it always proves something of a challenge to finesse the timing, our preference of late has been towards higher duration and a more defensive credit beta. After all, the latter is going to be just as important if a rise in market fragility materialises in the second half of the year.
As for the here and now, investors will just have to watch and see whether the BoE can stand and deliver.

Visionary Creations Win Top Awards at Eyewear Design Competition
Results Announced Ahead of Next Week's HKTDC Optical Fair
1 November 2012 – Innovative and winsome creations are in the spotlight as the winners of the 14th Hong Kong Eyewear Design Competition were announced today. Under the theme "Timeless," the competition, organised by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) and the Hong Kong Optical Manufacturers Association, saw more than 200 entries this year. Eleven prizes were awarded to nine local designers, whose creations will go on display at the region's leading HKTDC Hong Kong Optical Fair, opening next week.
The results of the eyewear design competition were released at a media conference this afternoon with the OKIA Optical Company sweeping the champion, first runner-up and second runner-up prizes in the Professional Group section. The champion piece, "Mag Type" by Lee Tsun Hung, borrows from the appearance of a vintage typewriter and its distinctive sound. Infusing modern elements into the classic typewriter, the spectacles use no screws, are interchangeable and feature a spring-hinge function.
Viola Pak's creation "Chang'er," based on the legendary Chinese goddess of the moon, took top prize in the Open Group category. The vintage-style eyewear features a rounded shape reminiscent of the moon, with patterns representing auspicious clouds. The right temple stem is made out of jade with a jade ornament adorning it.
The winning design in the Student Group category also took the Creativity and the Made-to-Sell awards. "Look Back," by Pang Horng from the Hong Kong Design Institute, uses contrasting colours, as well as a mixture of plastic and metal, to make the spectacles resemble the classic toy robot.
All winning and finalist pieces will go on display at the Wine Cellar, Hall 1B, during the Hong Kong Optical Fair, 7-9 November, at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre. Buyers can vote onsite to choose the winner for the "The Latest Look Award."
New Product Zones

Bill Freiberg: Donor, Patient, Triathlete
For Bill Freiberg, Ochsner was there for him during a dark and tumultuous time for all New Orleanians. In 2005, Bill was in a routine physical when he was diagnosed with atrial fibrillation. After doing a little research, he found that Ochsner had the equipment that would be needed for his complex treatment plan. He scheduled an appointment with Dr. Chris White, an appointment that never happened because it was scheduled on August 29, 2005.
Because of the impending hurricane, Bill left the city with his family and went to Pensacola. He was surprised when shortly after the hurricane made landfall, he received word from Dr. White recommending a former resident of his who was located in Florida for Bill to visit. Dr. White's concern made a large impact on Bill and showed that even with the inability to use cell phones and a dire situation unfolding all around them, Ochsner physicians were on duty and were working to ensure the safety and wellbeing of their patients. Dr. White stayed in contact and when Bill relocated to Houston, Dr. White again recommended a physician for him to see.
Upon his return to New Orleans in early 2006, Bill was prescribed a medication that corrected his Afib but had several frightening side effects including causing his heart to occasionally falter. He was sitting at the dinner table one night and found himself slipping in and out of consciousness when his wife decided to bring him to the Ochsner Emergency Department. Though they were short staffed post hurricane, they were able to get him a room and put in a pacemaker. Since that procedure, he has felt extraordinarily well. He successfully completed 10-12 triathlons and several 150 mile bike races and 2.5 mile open water swims in the decade since, and he doesn't see anything stopping him.
Great treatment is only one aspect of Bill's involvement with the health system. Ochsner has become a family affair for Bill. His daughter is a physician's assistant in the Orthopedics Department, his uncle has been chairman of the board for five years and he is currently serving on the Ochsner Foundation Board.
"Being on the Foundation Board, I am enjoying learning more about the world of medicine, which is ever changing," he said. There are so many ways to give back to your community; serving on a board is just one of them. When asked if he had any advice for others looking for ways to get involved, he recommended calling the Department of Philanthropy. "Pick up the phone and ask them what you can do to help. It's that simple." His major concern is finding ways to help others find the exceptional care that he has received at Ochsner. "If I can contribute in any way to keep the ball rolling so that they can give good care to other patients, I'd like to be a part of that."
Thank you Bill for your continued involvement with and dedication to Ochsner. We are so proud of your achievements and cannot wait to cheer you on at your next race!
A Word from Doctor Christopher White, Chairman for Cardiovascular Disease and Director of the John Ochsner Heart and Vascular Institute
Dear Supporters of the John Ochsner Heart and Vascular Institute,
Nearly 75 years ago, Dr. Alton Ochsner joined four world class physicians to create a progressive medical system that would provide patients with multi-disciplinary care in one location. We continue that legacy of innovation here at the John Ochsner Heart and Vascular Institute.
For every patient, our goal is to provide state of the art care. From providing advanced imaging procedures like PET scans to the most progressive therapeutics such as the TAVR procedure replacing heart valves without requiring open heart surgery, our focus is always on providing exceptional care with better outcomes for our patients. We have proven to be a regional leader in cardiology, from the lives we save through more than 20 annual heart transplants to the lives we change through our work in top research and clinical trials. We recognize that this would not be possible without your support.
Your dedication to making the lives of patients better is overwhelming and extraordinary. It is because of you, that as a community we can support and care for patients through innovative diagnostic and therapeutic strategies. It is because of you that we can assure our patients that they are receiving "state of the art care" without having to travel for advanced or experimental therapies. It is because of you that we are a destination center for patients who have been told that they have no other treatment options. It is because of you that mothers, fathers, sons, daughters and friends walk out of the John Ochsner Heart and Vascular Institute with a second chance at life. On their behalf, I thank you.
Through awareness and education, management of care, and the work of our outstanding caregivers, we are saving and changing lives one heart beat at a time, and I am so grateful that you have chosen to be a part of that legacy. Thank you for your continued compassion and generosity.
Christopher J. White, MD

By Jody Elliott
I've just arrived in Korea and I'm loving it. I'm under no illusion that my current euphoric state will crash and burn at some stage in the next few weeks or months. I've been warned about the swings and roundabouts of expat life, but I guess we're all prone to low points - irrespective of where we are.
These are my top 10 'best things' of Korea so far:
- Expat community: the next time you wonder why all the Asians/Poms/Africans (insert any other nationality) move to Australia and then congregate only with each other, there is damn good reason. These people are your tribe, they understand your language – oral, body and cultural. It's why the expat community here is so strong. We've been welcomed with open arms and everyone shares – the minute you learn where Greek yogurt or sour cream (or God forbid, chicken stock) can be purchased, you shout it across the island!
- Social life: To demonstrate my first point, our phone just rang and it was Audrey looking for Trudy (apparently, Trudy used to live in our apartment). Audrey and I got chatting and worked out we literally live across from one another and should do coffee. She's from Mindarie, has been here a year and her husband also works for Inpex. We then learned we'll be at the same lunch tomorrow for 40 women – champagne cocktails start at 11.30am. I mean, really…..what's not to love?!
- Facebook: Okay, this has nothing to do with Korea but has everything to do with help and connecting. It's been a lifeline for every expat here. I was in bed at 10pm on Saturday night and got a message from a colleague I worked with for many years at BHP Billiton. We were gobsmacked to learn we were both here. Oh, and I'll see her at lunch tomorrow too!
- Hazard lights: Let's remember my next big task is driving (they drive on the opposite side of the road to us). My driving lesson is on Tuesday and then we get a car. It's like ripping the band aid off, I know I have to do it and quickly, otherwise I will lose my nerve. That said, I am completely at ease knowing that whenever you need to stop – for any reason at all – apparently you can just do so and put on your hazard lights. This applies to buses on bridges, cars in the middle of the street, any 'ol reason. Yeeha!
- Patisseries and bakeries: No-one can explain to me why there are literally 3-5 of these in every 100m radius. In our street alone, we have Luxe Boulanger, Tous des Jours and Paris Baguette. It only seemed fair that I try all and have settled on the latter as my favourite. I do a bagel run for Rob every day (apparently it's part of my duties as an expat wife).
- The island: Surprisingly beautiful. The coastline and mountains are stunning. As you drive the coastal route, you could be forgiven for thinking you were in Europe – many of the houses have a European feel. And then you hit the city areas and it's like someone went nuts with Lego – as one apartment building after another rises through the valleys. I would recommend however that you Google the 'Goeje Island to Busan' bridge. It's a work of art. Lots of fabulous cafes and restaurants too.
- The apartments: They're brilliant. They have all the mod cons including underfloor heating and heated toilet seats (very nice for the middle-of-the-night tinkle). We're in a temporary apartment now and then move to something even nicer in the next week. All apartments only ever have floor boards because summer apparently is so hot and humid and carpet can go mouldy. They all have beautiful gardens and always have a 24-hour deli (which is highly problematic when each night the conversation goes, "Do you want me to run down to the shop and get a chocolate?")
- The shipyards: I must have missed my calling somewhere along the line, because nothing excites me more (except for maybe the French patisseries) than seeing the shipyards. Some would argue they are a blight on the landscape but I could sit and watch those massive structures all day.
- The people: For the first few days, I was sure they thought I was royalty of some kind. I've never been bowed to so often. As it works out, that's how it is done here – little handshaking, lots of bowing. They are very honest people too. There are stories of guys leaving their wallets in cabs and the cab driver turning up the next day to return it. Nice to know for the next time I'm drunk in a cab and do same.
- The language: Actually, it's not a favourite but I'm trying to be positive. Do you know how hard it is to try and work out what everything is at the supermarket (and even if you do, you can't follow the bloody instructions to cook it anyway)? Similarly, trying to use the appliances is a 'push and pray' approach – we just push every button until something works. Today, I went to the supermarket and bought five items which took me 90 minutes to find. And let's not get started on the cost of beef. One 250g steak will set you back $15.
So there is a little taste of Korea. I'm not sure what I actually expected before I came. I'm not sure I had any expectations and maybe that is why I've loved it so much so early. Every night we've been here, Rob and I sit on the couch, look at each other and say "Holy shit, we're in Korea!" It's only appropriate then that we have the Lord's Prayer printed on our living room window!

A Concert For George will see Liverpool's musical past, present and future come together to mark the life of the late, great Beatle.
Sunday night's sell out concert at the Liverpool Empire illustrates the city's love for one of its favourite sons. Tickets were sold out within 24 hours when not even one name had even been announced.
Even up until the last minute names are still being added and organisers are promising one or two surprises.
The concert will open with a celebration of the city's proud 60s musical heritage with a showcase called Merseybeats and Friends. Tony Crane and Billy Kinsley of the band will present a rock and rolling look back to the days when Four Lads from Liverpool shook the world.
They will be joined on stage by some of the star names of that special era.
The Merseybeats played more times with The Beatles than any other band at the time. They toured with them and had many major hits in their own right.
Tony Crane says: "The days of collection of golden oldies."
The concert, organised by the City Council, Radio City, BBC Radio Merseyside, The Cavern Club, The Empire, The Liverpool ECHO and Macmillan Cancer Relief will see all monies raised go to cancer charities.
Former Cockney Rebel frontman Steve Harley will perform Here Comes The Sun. Steve is bringing a six-piece band with him.
Says Steve: "I didn't need to think about it at all. I am playing for cancer charities, for George, for the great people of Liverpool, and for the city. What other place could sell out a show so quickly. It's a city with big heart."
Ralph McTell, who George respected as a guitarist, will play a short set including his classic song Streets Of London.
Ralph agrees that the concert sums up Liverpool's generosity and caring nature.
Said Ralph: "This is show about raising money, first and foremost, for cancer. It is particularly moving that it is dedicated to George Harrison.
"It is an honour to be part of it." There will also be a taste of Indian culture to mark the day: Shalil Shankar, master of the sitar - an instrument George took to his heart - will fly in from Switzerland for the show. Members of the Hare Krishna Temple will also travel from London.
George Harrison tribute artist Hari Georgeson (Rick Allen) who performs his own tribute at Beatle conventions is also in the line-up. And Paul Cooper, a former Bootleg Beatle, has also joined the crew.
Pete Wylie will appear as This is The Mighty Wah! Pete is gathering some friends of local and national to play his own personal tribute to George.
Says Pete: "I am going off on my own to do something special. Something associated with George and Eric Clapton."
There will also be a star-studded finale with a rousing version of my Sweet Lord.
Phil Easton and the team at Radio City says: "There will be special guests on the night, but due to contractual agreements we cannot name names. "Staging A Concert for George in his home town has been eye opening because people, first and foremost, wanted it to be there in the Empire on the stage George played so many times.
"The performers have all given their time and services free. It's going to be a very moving but enjoyable night.
"And we still have some surprises up our sleeves."

Old Vic News
Even More Old Vic News
More Old Vic News
And More Old Vic News
Earlier Old Vic News
Articles pertaining to the Old Vic
National Anthems
Moon For The Misbegotten (UK)
More coming soon
It's an honour to welcome you to our first season at The Old Vic, one of the great theatres of the world.
I was first brought here as a boy by my theatre-going parents and it's had a hold on my imagination ever since. When I appeared in London in The Iceman Cometh at the Almeida in 1998 and I got to produce the show in the West End, I knew as soon as I stood on the stage that this was the theatre for me. The Old Vic had worked its magic again.
I am often asked what will the new Old Vic Theatre Company be? What will define it and make it distinctive from other companies? The honest answer is that I don't yet know. A company doesn't just spring into existence fully formed. It evolves. The work you do begins to define it, the people you choose to work with certainly define it and, of course, the taste and instincts of the artistic director play a large part.
What we do know at this historic moment of launching our first season is that we intend to put on great shows that you will want to see; we want to invest in emerging talent through our Old Vic New Voices programme; we want to invest in young audiences through making available 100 seats a night at £12 a ticket for 25 year olds and under, and we want to play a full part in the Waterloo community.
This is a tall order without a penny of subsidy. So all of us at The Old Vic feel indebted to Morgan Stanley, for having the generosity and the imagination to support us in our first season. And I personally am also grateful to Sally Greene, the chief executive of The Old Vic Theatre Trust and an investor in The Old Vic Theatre Company; Sir Elton John, the Chairman of the Trust; David Liddiment, my producer; the unbelievably small staff at The Old Vic who have worked so hard to make this season a success; and those other professionals not on the staff who have been generous with their time, their talent and their skills so that we might flourish.
Finally, I want to give a particular thank you to members of The Old Vic Club and the Friends of The Old Vic who are our most frequent ticket buyers and who have generously supported us through their membership. This financial support is truly vital to us in helping us to achieve what we have set out to do. May I urge you to read about membership on page 63 and support us if you can.
And thank you all most sincerely for joining us tonight on the first step of what I hope will be an incredible journey. Have a great evening and come back to see us again soon.

Newsgeist is an unconference that Google started in the US and brought to Europe for the first time last year. It's been called secretive and exclusive, as it's invitation-only and applies Chatham House Rules. This is also the reason why I won't go into detail about what's been discussed (Charlie Beckett did a great recap if you want to learn more) . Instead, I'll share my personal takeaways and learnings.
I have to start off by saying that I've felt painfully uninspired in the past few months (or even years), fighting my own battle with where the future of Fillmore (and my own career) is headed. So when I received the invitation for Newsgeist, I had high hopes that this would be an opportunity to feel inspired again. And it did not disappoint. What makes Newsgeist so great is that's all about open discussions and sharing experiences. I went into this thinking I'd be a passive, observing attendee but I ended up leading a session about entrepreneurial journalism with Manuela Zlateva who I just met at the event. Personally I got the most out of the smaller sessions where you really got an opportunity to talk to everyone in the room.
While a lot of what was discussed at Newsgeist evolved around the struggles and challenges of journalism and the news business, there were also great examples of how you can make high quality journalism work in the digital age. These were the moments that re-sparked my inspiration and hope for the news business. Another great thing about the event is that it brings together people with all sorts of backgrounds and positions. As an avid asker of questions, I had the pleasure to learn from experienced media professionals and fellow entrepreneurs. The Newsgeist organizers intentionally don't put job positions on name tags, so there's really no barrier to walk up to someone and start a conversation. It's a small detail that I only noticed at the end of the weekend, though it's these little details that make Newsgeist stand out.
The major highlight of the weekend was the Q&A session with Bastian Obermayer about the Panama Papers. With all the talk about monetizing and building products, his work is a great reminder about the importance of investigative journalism. For most of the attendees, Newsgeist was an opportunity to reflect on their work and think about what the audience really wants. And we don't do that often enough in our day-to-day business.
Yes, Newsgeist is kind of secretive and exclusive. But it definitely can be replicated on a smaller scale. The Digital Journalism Slack could be considered a virtual version of Newsgeist (there's also a Digital Journalism Hackathon happening in Munich next weekend!). I learned that France has a lively media startup scene, too. So there's a lot of stuff happening and I'm now definitely motivated to make stuff happen.
Thanks Richard Gingras, Chris Shipley and all the others who made Newsgeist a great experience for all of us!

No, Bryson doesn't wear glasses, but should because he looks so darn cute in them. The other day, Bryson's cousin Zyan put these glasses on him (they are from her Build-A-Bear) and they fit him perfectly. I couldn't get over how cute and grown-up he looked in them.

Tips For Storing And Displaying Your Photos
Author: entertainment | Category: 3 ring binder sheet protectors, Photo sleeves, Stabilo all pencil
Pictures are important things, this is something that is pretty much universally agreed upon. With pictures, we have been able to document incredibly important moments in our lives, from our wedding days to the births of our children to even the first steps that those children take. Without the ability to take pictures (now pretty much whenever we want to, thanks to the widespread usage of smartphones in the United States and beyond), much of these important moments would be lost to time and the decaying effect of memory.
And while some pictures are relatively casual and not necessarily all that important, some of your most important pictures will need to be taken care of with immense precaution to prevent decay and deterioration over the course of time. From storing them to hanging them up for display in your home, there are a number of things that you'll need to keep in mind when handling your most prized photographs. In this article, we will start with how to care for photograp (more…)

Is San Joaquin County pulling a fast one on the City of Stockton?
The Record's Mike Fitzgerald reported a few weeks ago that San Joaquin County officials appear to be back peddling on a promise to tear down the current courthouse and replace it with a public plaza with underground parking. If true, the move is disingenuous and deceitful on the part of the county, and will have detrimental effects on the redevelopment of Downtown Stockton.
By not replacing the old court house with a new plaza, the county will have pulled off an impressive bait and switch. The city basically gave Hunter Square to the county for free. At the time, it was assumed that a new plaza would be part of the deal. Now, if no plaza is built, the city will have given away a historic landmark and in return will get a building that serves the exact same functions as the existing courthouse, albeit more efficiently. No permanent jobs are created, existing jobs will just be consolidated in a new building. And while the county gets a nice, shiny new tower, the city essentially gains nothing, losing a public space while being saddled by an eyesore of an empty, old courthouse.
And the presumption of new a plaza wasn't an empty promise made in passing; the county has been touting a public plaza for years. In the project's environmental review, it's made clear that demolishing Hunter Square would be a blow to the city's heritage.
"Development of the proposed project will produce an irreversible significant environmental change due to the loss of Hunter Square Plaza as a historic resource. The loss of the resource is a significant irreversible environmental change."
That comes straight from the project's environmental report, available on the project website. County representatives fully acknowledged that the loss of the square would be a setback to the city. Here's another excerpt:
"…the County plans to raze the current courthouse and build a new plaza once the Superior Court moves to the proposed new courthouse, and the County's new plaza will be superior to the existing Hunter Square."
Not only are we supposed to get a new plaza, but the county goes as far as saying that the new square will be even better than its predecessor (which, in honesty, isn't a huge claim. The latest iteration of Hunter Square wasn't the most beautiful).
The county even appeared to have dedicated money to this project. The plans for demolition of the old courthouse, construction of the new square, and even a subterranean parking lot, are outlined in the county's 2012-2017 Capital Improvement Program. $3.6 million was set aside for tearing down the old courthouse, while $11.6 million was earmarked for a new plaza and underground parking. But suddenly, the money seems to have dried up as officials are quoted as being non-committal to the project.
This new development isn't just a case of the county swindling the city, but the redevelopment of downtown is at stake as well. The current courthouse has long been derided as an atrocity, given the beauty of its predecessor which was wrongfully torn down. Should the current courthouse remain, there would be a huge missed opportunity to create a unifying public space in the heart of Downtown Stockton. Moreover, an empty, derelict courthouse would kill street level activity, as it does now, along Weber Avenue.
Fortunately, observant people such as Fitzgerald are sounding the alarm. He also quoted an individual on his blog who noted that the county could easily afford the demolition of the old courthouse and the construction of new plaza. But it'll take more than a couple blog posts to get the county to recommit to a new Hunter Square. More people need to speak up and demand that the county be strong stewards of Downtown Stockton by making good on their promise of a new Hunter Square.
