I had a discussion with a coworker yesterday about anthropomorphic climate change. I am and always have been a huge skeptic (sceptic, for you Brits) of Man Made Global Warming (now called Climate Change so that they can blame any unpleasant weather on it) and this was for me yet another discussion with someone who was not so skeptical. At some point in the conversation, after I did my best to change his mind, he admitted that even if it was bunk, the end justifies the means. His point was that even if the entire IPCC climate change industry (and it is an industry, with many people making money off of this scam) is wrong, even intentionally wrong, the fact that it forces us as individuals to make better choices for the environment makes it okay.
I had a couple of responses to that. First, being a person who is fascinated by the beauty of science and the intellectual honesty associated with publishing a theory and letting people try to tear it down, that just rubs me the wrong way. That is an affront to real science, and such practitioners should be tarred and feathered before being run out of town. I do not think that it is okay to fudge science just because you mean well. Secondly, this is not simply some academic discussion. The result of buying into the Great Global Warming Swindle is much bigger than just buying a Prius (I will come back to that) or buying those ridiculous carbon offsets or driving less. It amounts to severely hampering the industrial revolution that has allowed regular people to lead the life that only kings and noblemen once enjoyed but to a lot of the rest of the world it also means preventing billions of people in undeveloped countries from progressing to the level of prosperity and comfort that we all take for granted here in the west. We got ours, screw y'all.
There is an interesting article in the Canada Free Press [HT: Flopping Aces] about the UN's IPCC and its statements and methods that is enlightening in ways that Believers in the Church of Climate Change will not like. One portion from the article, by Dr. Tim Ball, goes right to the point that I am trying to make:
Schneider [Lead Author of reports for Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change], among others, created the appearance that the [IPCC] Summary was representative of the Science Report. However, he provides an early insight into the thinking when speaking about global warming to Discovery magazine (October 1989) he said scientists need, "to get some broader based support, to capture the public's imagination…that, of course, entails getting loads of media coverage. So we have to offer up some scary scenarios, make simplified dramatic statements and make little mention of any doubts we may have…each of us has to decide what the right balance is between being effective, and being honest." The last sentence is deeply disturbing–there is no decision required.
That is not science, it is political advocacy. I know that everyone is getting caught up in this green movement and there are certainly many very good things coming out of it, but we cannot just shut off our brains and accept the nonsense that is being spouted by scientists who are acting politically rather than scientifically regardless of good effects or how good it makes us feel. Dr. Ball continues:
So they create an appearance of certainty about a human cause of warming. But what is the reality? The only place where CO2 is causing temperature increase is in the IPCC computer models. In every record of any duration for any time period in the history of the Earth, temperature increase precedes CO2 increase. So an incorrect assumption that a CO2 increase will cause temperature increase is built into the computer models. That is damaging enough, but the computer models themselves are completely inadequate to represent global climate or make any predictions about future climate. But don't believe me. The IPCC Technical Report ("The Physical Science Basis") produced by Working Group I and released in November 2007, says so.
What we have is a group of scientists, some of whom are more honest than others, whose work is being cherry-picked by a group of international bureaucrats and politicians to serve their political and economic ends. In their view, the end justifies the means. I disagree.
But let me get back to the Prius. In our discussion my friend expressed distain for the Prius and I think that he has a good point: people go out and buy a Prius and convince themselves that they have done their part for the environment. But what have they done? So they get 45 mpg, but if you are willing to drive a little sardine can of a car like that you can attain that sort of gas mileage without getting a hybrid. It is false progress which allows people to feel good enough about themselves to take the place of any real progress at lessening pollution, which is something that I think that we can all get behind.
I will close by once again recommending that anyone reading this, whether you are a skeptic like me or someone who I derogatorily refer to as a believer in the false Religion of Climate Change, you need to watch the very good Global Climate Change Swindle [HT: Little Green Footballs] video here.

To reduce the cost of health care.
Email to: email@example.com - Office: 651.330.2792
Today, providers require you to sign a contract to pay whatever they charge, without telling you anything about the charges until after the services are rendered. This means that you could receive a huge bill weeks after a service and be required to pay it, no matter how much it is.
When you go to a facility for medical care you are required to sign several papers. One of those papers includes a statement that says you are ultimately liable for any amount the provider charges you. The provider, however, does not tell you the amount you will be billed, or how much above the Medicare allowance you are being charged.
Minnesota law should require providers to disclose the percentage above Medicare that they charge for services prior to the services being performed.
Furthermore, the law should require providers to secure a written signed disclosure from you in advance of providing services/procedures when charging in excess of the Medicare allowance.
Providers who fail to obtain a signed disclosure from you before or at the time services are provided, will be limited to reimbursement from you or your health plan of no more than 100% above the Medicare allowance.
If you are incapacitated, a provider may not attempt to collect any fees in excess of 200% of the Medicare allowance for health care services provided during the time of the incapacitation (unless you have previously signed a disclosure with the provider).

In case you haven't noticed, San Diego has earned the designation of "Fight Capital" of the west coast, with an impressive base of local MMA talent, boxing legends, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu academies and some of the most diehard fans across the country.
What better way to give those fight-hungry fans something to get excited about, than to have MMA Evolution Expo travel down the coast to America's Finest City for a star-studded, two-day event that covers nearly every facet of the fight game?
Our crew had an opportunity to ask MMA Evolution Expo leader, Gabe Scarpelli, about what local San Diego fight fans can expect as the two-day convention hits San Diego beginning Saturday August 23 at 9:00am PT.
With the wealth of MMA talent, trainers and gyms in the area I expect the MMA Evolution Expo to be a hit for marital art fans of all ages, levels and disciplines.

The halls will come alive with the sound of music at Oaklandvale Elementary School under the direction of Principal Michael A. Smith.
"I would like to involve music in almost every aspect of the Oaklandvale," said Smith, who was hired as the school's new principal this summer, replacing Eric Jones.
Smith has always wanted to do something with music for a career. His love of music took root as a 9-year-old boy growing up in North Carolina who played piano and sang in the chorus.
That passion continues to this day. When he isn't handing principal duties, Smith spends time singing for the First Class Wedding Band, running a DJ business and teaching piano/voice privately.
Becoming a music educator provided a way to stick with his passion and still manage to pay the bills, Smith said.
Smith earned a bachelor of science degree in music education from Winston Salem State University.
After a year of teaching in North Carolina Smith accepted a job as a music teacher in the Boston Public Schools.
A founding member of the Boston Arts Academy, Smith has taught music and chorus in several Massachusetts school districts over the past two decades.
While working as a chorus and piano teacher at Lynn Classical High School, Smith wasn't happy with some of the decisions that were made at the school level. That experience persuaded him to try his hand at becoming a school administrator.
"My dad taught me don't complain, do something about it," Smith said. "I decided that I wanted to be a decision-maker."
Smith went on to receive a master's degree in school administration from Boston University and Cambridge College. He later spent a few years as the district director of curriculum and arts instruction for the Pentucket Regional School District.
While the work in the district central office was interesting, Smith discovered that he missed interacting with students regularly.
"I realized my calling was at the school level, being around kids, parents and teachers on a daily basis," Smith said.
Smith accepted a job as a vice principal at a Brookline elementary school and kept looking for the perfect administrator post. He believes he has found the right fit at Oaklandvale Elementary School.
From day one the Oaklandvale School community has welcomed him with open arms, Smith said.
"Everyone is so friendly and helpful, and they are showing me the Saugus way," Smith said.
As a principal, Smith said he loves being able to talk to students at lunch or in classrooms to hear what they are learning, or even what's on their mind.
In terms of leadership, Smith follows the mantra "none of us know what all of us know." He believes in including staff input in decisions and listening to feedback from parents and community members.
Besides embracing music in the school, Smith told the Advertiser he hopes to organize more community-based celebrations for Oaklandvale students such as on Veterans Day and Memorial Day.
Oaklandvale School has such a diverse mix of students that Smith said he would like to hold an international night in which students can showcase their cultural talents.
Smith also has a knack at connecting with students. He owns more than 300 pairs of socks and will sometimes show youths the goofy images on his socks as a way to engage them.
For instance, Smith sported socks with pictures of pizza on them Wednesday because it was National Cheese Pizza Day.
"The kids love it," Smith said. "They will come up to me and ask 'Mr. Smith, what kind of socks do you have on today?' It's a way to really connect with them."
Smith is excited to come to Saugus at such a transformative time in the district, with a new High School/Middle School set to open in 2020 and the future realignment to house a separate pre-kindergarten to grade two and grade three to grade five schools.
"This is a wakeup period for the Saugus Public Schools, it's very progressive," Smith said. "I like being on the cusp of change. My whole life has been that."

This patient was simply unhappy with the colour of their teeth and wanted to explore treatment options to achieve a brighter, whiter smile. There are lots of treatments available but some are quite invasive so after a full discussion this patient chose the Home Whitening treatment.
Impressions were taken of his upper and lower teeth and bespoke whitening trays were made. Using Zoom Night White each night while sleeping in just under two weeks he achieved a brighter, whiter smile that he was happy to show off.

The November 2015 Market Report released by the Naples Area Board of
REALTORS® (NABOR®), which tracks home listings and sales within Collier County (excluding Marco Island), showed many performance similarities to the same report from November 2014. And those similarities left broker analysts who review the report with a sense of satisfaction because they predicted a continuation of market stability in November 2014. If history is any indication of future performance, then activity reflected in the November 2015 Market Report may indicate a market that is poised to enjoy stable activity in the coming months.

As the cold weather looks set to stay for a while. Let's turn it to our advantage.
Ice Art
These pieces of art are really easy to make. You just need a shallow container, some water, natural objects and some wool or string.
Put a couple of centimeters of water in the bottom of your container. Add your natural materials. if you want to hang them up then put a loop of wool or string into the water before you leave them outside overnight to freeze.
Once they have set then you turn them out of the container and hang outside.
You might want to provide magnifying glasses for the children to use when looking closely at their frozen art.
Balloon Marbles
These are a really easy and very effective make.
All you need are some party balloons, water and food colouring.
Fill the balloon with water (as big as you dare) then holding the balloon by the neck add food colouring.
The easiest way that I have found to add the food colouring is by dipping a cotton bud into the colour and then poking that down the neck of the balloon.
Part of the joy of this activity is that you never know quite what shade of colour your balloon marble is going to be.
Once the ice has set inside the balloon. Snip the tied end off and peel back the rest. They produce some amazing patterns as they melt.
Ice Trough
These make great DIY water troughs in warmer weather but in winter they are great for producing large pieces of ice that children can pick up, touch and explore.
You need a long roll of tin foil, some space and some water.
All you do is to lay the tin foil out flat on the ground and then fold or scrunch up both sides of the sheet to make a wall. Do this for the entire length of the trough.
If you are going to use it as a water channel then leave both ends open. If you are going to create an ice trough, then seal the ends by nipping the foil together.
Fill with water.
You can add various natural or man make items into your trough to freeze. I have done it with cars, boats and small world figures as well as natural materials like leaves, sticks, fircones and berries.
(if using berries ALWAYS use under supervision and check for their safety first)
Once the ice is frozen, peel off the tin foil to reveal your ice stick.
These work well on a large scale like thi,s but you can also make smaller ones with individual children.
No Snow Snowballs
When there is no snow left or it is too hard, you could always try making some of these.
All you need is some tights and some cotton wool.
Just cut off the feet of the tights, stuff them with the cotton wool and then tie or stitch the open end. The higher the denier of the tights the more see through they will be and the whiter they look.
The tights I used here were on offer. 10 pairs for £3.97! They are more American Tan than I would have ideally wanted so my snowballs look like they might have been made with that slightly dirty snow from the side of the road! But ,I am sure you get the idea!
Have fun

text: The purpose of this project is to provide the reader of this paper with a descriptive analysis of an episode of Crime Scene Investigations (C.S.I.). The intent is to show what is provided by the television series of what happens in a crime and what is supposed to happen during a crime scene investigation. The reader should be able to understand during this analysis to what in fact is non-realistic in this television episode and what is reality as determined by what has been researched. This will show what really happens in a crime scene investigations lab. The episode chosen for this review was CSI: Miami, The Golden Parachute. The episode begins with an aircraft taking important people to testify in front of the Security Exchange …show more content… The National Institute of Justices has a guide that should be followed while doing crime scene investigations. These sections are the arrival at the scene, preliminary documentation and evaluation of the scene, processing the scene, completing and recording the crime scene investigations and crime scene equipment. (Travis et al, 2000) The patterns of proper crime investigation protocol was not followed throughout the episode to insure the required rules that our governed by law enforcement. Crime Scene Investigators are lab technicians that are responsible for searching for evidence that will help solve a crime based on science. They work on blood samples, hair, fibers, impressions, gun and ballistics analysis. They do not play the role of police officer as portrayed in The Golden Parachute episode and arrested the perpetrator (2002). The aircraft crash was only handled by the crimes scene investigators in the episode and no mention of the FAA or NTSB. The NTSB was created by Congress in 1967 to handle any aviation and any other mode of transportation related accidents. They have the jurisdiction to handle all accidents when it pertains to aircraft of any kind. They were never called in the episode. A level two biohazard as described in the episode was with oil and gas leakage and could cause damage to the environment. They had no one show up to contain the area to and do a risk assessment.

I wear my scar proudly. I know a lot of people, my mother-in-law, for instance, would prefer that I hide it behind a high collar or a scarf, but I'm not ashamed of what I've been through.
In the beginning, my family treated me like a fragile thing. I was cherished and pampered in all the right ways.

Those were my first thoughts when i awoke from the 2 week induced coma at my local hospital.
My last memory was of being home alone, standing, about to roll a joint when a strange sensation that had nothing to do with the dope, began.
No sharp pains, no symptoms of what was about to overwhelm my body, just a logical thought ...this does not feel ok... and my last thought before i blacked out was to press the emergency buttons on my mobile phone for ambulance service.

On May 5, 2011 I was (literally) running to catch a plane with my husband en route to a dream cruise to the UK (transatlantic). Halfway to the departure gate (of course it was the last gate) I had a sudden, unbelievable, ripping pain down my back that dropped me to my knees. I insisted my husband continue to the gate and hold the door for me - wasn't going to miss my trip. I sat in the concourse holding my chest and trying to breathe - no idea what was wrong.

From the moment Acer took his first steps into Getlesburg, a clash of raging rivers suddenly stopped in front of him like a meerkat poking out of his hole.
In front of his eyes, snow was drifting through the air like a feather in the wind. His eyes widened at the magnificent sight that lay before him!
He stood. Gobsmacked! His heart was pounding with excitment! Where was he? Could this place be so spectacular?
The grass stood tall and purple, as a mountain of ice reflected in the sunshine. Vivid, wonderful colours enveloped the land ecstatically!
Behind the mountains, massive black cacti roamed the desert. Microscopic snakes slithered along the sand, hissing and howling like a bomb that is about to explode!

I completely agree about no Christmas until the day after Thanksgiving! It's tempting for me to bust out the decorations and the music, especially...but then it's not as fun and special. There should be a law.
I totally understand what you mean about the reading thing too. That used to drive me nuts - especially when I waited all day to read and then someone would talk. Or my favorite "So, what are you reading"...to which I would reply, "a book"...hoping they'd get another hint that I didn't want to chat about it!
Oh...and one more thing...pinch Ben's cheeks for me...they are SO cute!

Okay I have to admit, I already have my tree up (only because my mom was here and helped me set it up), I've been listening to Christmas music, and I made a Gingerbread house & candy train with my nieces. I know, I'm pathetic! I hope we can still be friends. I only wish that the weather would cool down a little. It seems a little odd when it's still 89 degrees out!

Fort Bend RC Club Muscular Dystrophy MD Fly-a-Thon
by Benny Behrens September 6, 2015Saturday September 5, 2015 Fort Bend RC Club (FBRCC) held their annual Muscular Dystrophy Fly-A-Thon with event proceeds donated to the Muscular Dystrophy Association. This is the 18th consecutive year FBRCC has held this very successful event.
The event was held at FBRCC's field which is located west of Houston in Rosenberg, TX just north of Highway 59. The club has outstanding facilities with two paved crossing runways of suitable length for most any RC airplane including large scale turbines. 24 pilots were registered and essentially all sized airplanes from basic trainers up to twin engine turbines were safely flown for the pleasure and entertainment of the many spectators and visitors that were on hand.
At lunch time RC Hobby Shop's Warbird team put on a very impressive demonstration, followed by a great helicopter demonstration after which was there was additional flight demonstrations by several pilots flying their turbine aircraft.
Rob Longenecker, President of FBRCC, recognized "Charlie Caulkins for successfully managing the elements and volunteers to have such a successful event. We also appreciate the support of the Air Force JROTC and Major Doug Hawn from Dulles High School, who handled donations and food service". It was obvious that many of the club's members had a hand in helping make this a very successful event. I am sure the spectators, pilots and RC visitors from local clubs had a great time and really enjoyed the event – I know I did.
And most important the Muscular Dystrophy Association reaped the rewards thanks to all that participated.

WASHINGTON — A Silver Spring, Maryland, house was deemed a "total loss" Thursday afternoon as firefighters fought a large fire on the 200 block of Bryant's Nursery Road.
Montgomery County police noticed the blaze while patrolling the Colesville area of Silver Spring hours earlier and alerted the county's Fire and EMS Department. At that time, the fire was already "fully involved," said Pete Piringer, a department spokesman.
None of the home's occupants were inside at the time, he said.
The two-story, 6,000-square-foot house is at the end of a long driveway with a small bridge, so access was a bit of a problem, said Piringer, who characterized the damage as a "total loss."
The fire drew two alarms' worth of personnel, he said, including a water supply task force. At 1:30 p.m. more than 75 firefighters were at the scene. The blaze caused the home's roof to partially collapse.
The cause is not yet known.
Below is a map of the fire's approximate location.

In the '80s movie "Back to the Future Part II," our hero travels forward to where kids get around on gravity-defying hoverboards, people watch flat-screen TVs and biometric IDs give access while drones fly above. It would be interesting to know how the film's writers would have predicted the evolution of finance and data. Blockchain, machine learning, big data and the Internet of Things are all new frontiers driving innovation and challenging our thinking.
Beyond the technology, "Back to the Future" attempted to predict changes to social norms – but would they have predicted that technology would enable consumers to fund each other's businesses, bypassing the need for a bank to intermediate? That gadget-hungry consumers would join together to fund the creation of an untested product simply to be one of the first users? That a small, young company could raise equity capital directly from a group of investors scattered across the world? Like many of the predictions imagined in the movie, these are becoming realities. In fact, it's conceivable that in another 10 or 15 years brick-and-mortar bank branches will have disappeared, and securities and loans will be actively traded "peer-to-peer" facilitated by the blockchain, without the need for brokerage accounts or stock exchanges.
And demographics as well as technology support this vision: According to a 2015 Goldman Sachs research report, 33% of Millennials believe they won't need a bank in five years and 14% of small business owners already use alternative (non-bank) financing. Regulatory changes such as the U.S. Congress passing the JOBS Act Title III have also formalized that crowdfinancing is here to stay and is set for exponential growth. The World Bank has predicted that the market will reach almost $100 billion by 2025 – if you believe the prediction above, this misses the mark by a massive factor (remembering U.S. GDP alone is about $17 trillion).
Peer-to-peer (P2P) lending and equity crowdfunding as a source of financial returns
The term crowdfunding is often linked to sites such as Kickstarter where pretty much anyone can raise working capital to fund a project, usually in return for a product or service. Because these "deals" could be positioned to regulators as pre-orders – securities laws didn't need to be enacted to allow this new source of working capital to emerge. To date Kickstarter alone has raised more than $2 billion, providing funding for roughly 100,000 projects.
The term crowdfinancing is specifically used to describe two business models bringing financial returns for investors:
- Peer-to-peer lending: Where individuals lend money directly to other consumers or small businesses via online platforms such as Lending Club, Prosper, Funding Circle and CreditEase. As institutional money has started to tap the higher returns (narrower spread) markets, marketplace lending has also become a commonly used term.
- Equity crowdfunding: Where early stage and smaller companies issue equity to individuals, again facilitated by online marketplaces. Examples of the sites include AngelList, Seedrs and SeedInvest.
These websites facilitate borrowers' and issuers' access to the large pool of individual lenders and investors.
Sites are regulated to varying degrees – for example in the U.S. by the SEC and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). The sites are responsible for screening of borrowers and lenders and setting up procedures to prevent such platforms being used for money laundering.
How crowdfinancing works
Regulation as a key market driver
Changing consumer behaviour, technology enablement, the current macro environment including all-time low interest rates – and most of all – regulatory changes have driven the emergence of the crowdfinancing market. Authorities, led by the U.S. and UK have supported alternative finance, with certain Asian jurisdictions expected to follow.
The JOBS Act, signed into U.S. law in 2012, was the key enabler for the crowdfinancing industry in the USA. Title II allowed for companies to advertise that they are accepting capital from new investors – but investors still had to be accredited. Online platforms had to facilitate confirmation of accreditation.
On 30th October, 2015, the SEC approved Title III of the JOBS Act – paving the way for non-accredited investors to participate. This means that starting in May 2016 all U.S. citizens regardless of their net worth or income can invest in start-ups via online portals. The SEC has placed limits on how much of an individual's annual income can be invested to minimize possible total losses.
Peer-to-peer platforms have already been able to operate with the true consumer crowd as they have operated through an SEC no-action letter to engage non-accredited investors by offering fractional shares of payment notes which the platform creates daily and holds on its balance sheet.
Estimated growth in volume of funds raised by crowdfunding platforms worldwide
Global phenomenon which comes in different shapes and sizes
Regulatory reform has led to a growing number of crowdfinancing platforms. It is between 1,200-1,500 globally – and increasing.
Crowdfinancing is also taking many different forms. Some equity crowdfunding platforms have taken a co-investment approach. For example, SyndicateRoom and VentureFounders invite individuals to invest alongside professional investors. There are also various platforms focusing on specific verticals such as technology companies, property, consumer goods or art.
Increasing collaboration between Wall Street and the crowdfinancing ecosystem
In the beginning crowdfinancing was all about the crowd but it has evolved to include institutional money – asset managers and hedge funds investing not only on the actual platforms but also through the platforms in actual deals. The market has also seen increasing collaboration through partnerships. Examples of this include Lending Club, Citi and Varadero Capital launching a partnership where Lending Club helps lower the cost of credit for borrowers; Santander referring UK business loans directly to Funding Circle and BBVA partnership with OnDeck to connect banks' clients to more capital quickly.
This is a two-way street. Crowdfinancing platforms can get access to a larger pool of deals, while banks can facilitate lending to their business customers without the need for additional capital on the balance sheet. There may also be a geographic angle to this where banks can expand their footprint to new regions.
Some Wall Street institutions have also decided to make a move in this space. One of the first movers was Goldman Sachs with a decision to launch its own peer-to-peer lending platform; it is also notably active in the blockchain space.
Thomson Reuters response – It's all about the data – for now
Crowdfinancing is an exciting new frontier from the Thomson Reuters perspective. On the one hand – it's potentially a new consumer market for market data. On the other hand – it could lead to some challenging consequences for some of our largest customers.
As a technology and information company we are well-positioned to resolve real challenges in this space to serve both our customers and the growing crowdfinancing ecosystem. After all, we collect a lot of data from market participants. We aggregate this data and deliver it back in the form of feeds or derived data analytics. We facilitate the screening and onbording of participants with products like WorldCheck® and our KYC Managed Service (Org ID).
In this market, high-quality data, reliable information and unique insights are more important than ever. This is where Thomson Reuters can help. Here is what we have been doing so far, and there is more to come.
Improving transparency with Crowdnetic and PermID
As discussed in this article, Thomson Reuters has partnered with Crowdnetic to improve transparency and create new opportunities for innovation in an industry that now requires a more substantial information infrastructure that Thomson Reuters is well suited to provide. Crowdnetic has also adopted Thomson Reuters Permanent Identifier (PermID) as its primary symbology system for the recording and tracking of crowdfinanced transactions. The move brings investors more insight into the dynamics of this fast-growing investment area.
Evaluated pricing offering with mountain view for hard-to-value loans
Thomson Reuters has also launched evaluated pricing for marketplace lending derived by Thomson Reuters Pricing Service (TRPS) and MountainView IPS to assist fixed-income investors and investment managers with third-party, fair market valuation and price verification for hard-to-value loans. MountainView IPS, a subsidiary of MountainView Capital Holdings provides independent/third-party valuation services for hard-to-value fixed-income assets. The company prices mortgage- and asset-backed securities, residential whole loans, collateralized loan obligations (CLOs), collateralized debt obligation (CDOs) and marketplace lending loans.
The new offering will be part of the TRPS global solution that provides users of the DataScope suite with evaluated prices to support portfolio, fund and single-security valuations. Fixed-income investors need more industry education around the platform risks, credit risk underwriting and valuation transparency. The role of independent valuation service providers is very important in that investors need their internal pricing methodology documented and validated by an independent third party for their daily and monthly NAV process.
Collaborating with universities on the Asian crowdfinancing space
The Asian crowdfinancing market is rapidly developing and therefore Thomson Reuters has collaborated with Cambridge Centre for Alternative Finance at Cambridge Judge Business School, Tsinghua University Graduate School of Shenzhen and University of Sydney Business School in support of the launch of the 2015 Asia-Pacific Alternative Finance Benchmarking Survey.
The survey is the first-ever comprehensive study of equity crowdfunding, peer-to-peer lending and other forms of alternative finance across the Asia Pacific region – including mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand, Indonesia, India, Australia and New Zealand. All local platforms operating in the Asia Pacific area were invited to contribute to the survey. Results and a report will be made available free to the public early in 2016. All findings will be in aggregated form either by country, region or alternative financing model and no individual platform/provider's data will be divulged.
Disruption is good – it drives innovation
Crowdfinancing as a new frontier is all about better access, transparency and efficient process. It gives more options to consumers and also to the financial institutions.
It pushes boundaries making traditional Wall Street institutions rethink their operating model and how to make it more efficient. Various institutions have set up their innovation centres and are finding ways to collaborate with the new wave of start-ups and market players.
In the end it's all about innovation and driving the thinking forward – we might see those flying cars sooner than expected.

Peak Performance for Interpreters: Work right
Why do interpreters sometimes fail? How can such failures be avoided? Can we avoid them at all? One way to answer this question is to take a closer look at what goes on inside interpreters' minds. In this webinar for interpreters: work right, I will to show you how aphasia (a neurological condition) can help us realize what we do when we interpret.
Initially it might seem that aphasia and interpreting have nothing in common. On the contrary, anyone who has ever experienced simultaneous interpreting has surely noticed that they sometimes understand the speaker but just can't find the words to interpret them, although they really want to. On the other hand, interpreters sometimes speak fluently but end up being is incomprehensible and, when they are asked about what they said, they can't tell you. So by tracing what happens in the minds of aphasia patients, we can construct exercises to help interpreters improve their output and overcome difficult situations.
The remaining sessions are:
- Practice right, which will increase your knowledge of effective interpreting practice methods,
- Prepare right, which will help you gain new insight into preparing for interpreting assignments.

What are the benefits to you?
This video will help you understand the mechanisms involved in interpreting and will show you exercises to improve your skills.

The Clinton campaign has issued cease-and-desist warnings to any TV or radio station, demanding that they refrain from airing ads from pro-Trump groups stating that his democratic rival is "under investigation by the FBI", The Hill reports.
CNN reported that the letters were sent on Sunday, the same day that FBI Director James Comey anounced that the newly discovered emails would not change the FBI's original conclusion from July 5, that Clinton was innocent of any criminal wrongdoing.
"These ads falsely claim Secretary Clinton is under investigation by the FBI," wrote Marc Elias, the general counsel for the Clinton campaign. He also writes that "at no point" did the FBI "reopen" an investiation into Clinton's emails. "The claim in these ads is provably false."
The prospect of misinformation affecting the 2016 US election, and possibly tainting its result, is considerable. There are already early reports from advanced voting related to voter intimidation and voter suppression.
Jon Favreau, President Obama's chief speech writer from 2005-2013, pointed out that today's Moscow Times reports that Russian news media is sending Russians living in Russia the number to a hotline where they can report so-called vote fraud to Donald Trump. While the hotline is primarily for Russians living in the US, there is an option to "Press 1" for callers located within Russia.
One last push from a foreign government intervening in our election on behalf of Trump! https://t.co/0HEouhNPE6— Jon Favreau (@jonfavs) November 8, 2016
This frantic atmopshere of misinformation poses a two-fold threat: that the election result itself is tainted, and that the result is perceived to be tainted. Democracy can't be strong if its very foundations, a free voting process, is questioned.

There are two kinds of change, technical and adaptive, and you need to solve for the right one. Tamsen is working on a book about the Red Thread, and it's been hard to get that change to happen. Michael Bungay Stanier's advice was that she was probably solving for the wrong kind of change.
Technical change is change that happens when you acquire new knowledge. Adaptive change, on the other hand, is what happens when you have the things you think you need, but can't seem to just do the thing.
We walk through a process of how you can look at what's going on in your life and what might be in the way of making the change you want to make. That means looking at what you're doing and not doing to support that change, and what you're doing instead of making it happen. What do those activities reveal a deeper commitment to? What is the worst case scenario you're afraid might happen?
How we see the world drives what we do, so if you're trying what you do you have to change what you see.
- Immunity to Change: How to Overcome It and Unlock the Potential in Yourself and Your Organization by Lisa Laskow Lahey and Michael Kegan
- Box of Crayons – Michael Bungay Stanier
- How to Use "Old" Ways of Thinking to Find New Ways Through Difficult Times – EP052
– One of the reasons why we put our ideas together is because we want to make real change happen. But what happens when you're the one that wants the change and it's not happening? Well, it turns out we may be solving for the wrong kind of change. That's what we're talking about this week on Find the Red Thread. I'm your host Tamsen Webster of tamsenwebster.com.
This week's episode was really personal, frankly. Because I was in that situation and I'm still kind of in it, working my way through it where I wanted to do a thing, I wasn't doing the thing and I kept asking everybody else like how do I do the thing? Well, thankfully I asked my friend and former client Michael Bungay Stanier that question. I said, "How do I write this book about the Red Thread that people are asking me for?" I said, "I feel like "I've asked everybody. I've read all the things and I'm still not doing it so what's going on?"
Now, Michael knows a fair amount about all of this because he's the author of The Coaching Habit, which has now sold over half a million copies. Well, what he said next blew my mind. "Oh, well you're probably solving for the wrong kind of change."
I was like, "What do you mean the wrong kind of change? Change is change."
He's like, "No, no, no there's two kinds of change. There's technical change and adaptive change." And technical change, as he explained to me was change that happens because you've acquired new knowledge. I don't know how to knit, now I know how to knit. Or, I want to be able to put videos on Instagram and then I learn what the steps are and now I can do that.
But adaptive change is what happens when you say, "I want to go on Instagram. I understand all the mechanics of doing it. But I can't make myself," as my other friend Brian Fenzl would say, "press the damn button."
What's going on there? And that's exactly what was happening with me and this book. Now, the work of this adaptive change, technical change and a process that Michael worked me through was something that was developed by Lisa Lahey and Robert Kegan. It's from their research but also that's in their book called The Immunity to Change. The process was really fascinating to me because it's about understanding. Not what, from a technical standpoint, is missing with what's going on behind the change. Instead, it's focused on what are, in fact, the arrangements of beliefs and goals and framings of problems and truths that are getting in the way.
Now, the process that Michael walked me through was pretty simple. It said, "Well, what is the thing that you want to do?" And you kind of start there.
I said, "Well, I want to write a book." That's the thing that I want to do. And the second step, now, these questions get much harder. It's not because you don't know the answers to these questions. It's because you don't want to say the answers to these questions out loud.
The second step is to say to yourself "Well, what am I doing that's supporting this?" But more importantly, and Michael was really emphasizing this, what are the things that you are not doing instead of doing the thing? So, either what are the distracting behaviors or the other activities that you're doing instead of the thing that you want?
So, what was I doing instead of writing a book? I could clearly say I keep researching it, but I had gotten to a point of what else could I possibly learn about my own idea or about publishing a book that's keeping me from writing it? Nothing.
And then there's also kind of what are you not doing. And I was like, "Okay, well I'm not making the time. I'm not setting it aside. I'm not even putting it on my weekly to-do list, which is how I get everything else done."
So, after first identifying what is the thing you want to do and then second, what are you doing or not doing actually instead of that thing. The next question is what do those activities reveal a deeper commitment to?
Now, this was something that immediately resonated for me. Because I often would say, particularly to my Weight Watchers members, if you're not doing the thing you want it's because there's something else you want more. You may say I want to lose weight, you may say you want to write a book, but you may actually want the coping mechanism that comes from eating.
That was certainly the true for me in the midst of my panic disorder. I've talked about this on Find the Red Thread before because it was much more I wanted the comfort of a coping mechanism that I knew more than I wanted to get past it. But once I could recognize that, this is the key, then I could start to change.
What I was figuring out that I wanted more with the book was a lot of the same thing. I wanted the safety of not having my idea questioned, not having me questioned. Not even bringing out, in certain cases, my deep, dark childhood stuff about like who was the writer in the family. All sorts of stuff. Like I said, these questions, these questions are simple, answers are hard.
And the final piece, and this is what Michael called "calamities," is to really think through and to answer that question for yourself of what if. Let's say you've got this commitment to not having your idea questioned, which is the case for me. What is the worst case scenario that you are unconsciously spinning in your head that you think is going to happen?
In this case, the worst case scenario was that somebody would say that everything's crap. And this whole business that I've built on it would just crumble. And I'd be bankrupt and I wasted three years in all the effort.
What was fascinating, even just saying it out loud can reveal that that's not helpful thinking for you or for anybody else. But the most important thing going through this whole process did was it showed me that it was actually a different way of approaching the same pieces of the Red Thread that we talk about all the time. I could see the calamity that came from those competing wants or the competing commitments was helping understand how I was looking at the situation.
I was looking at this as a situation of testing my idea rather than codifying my idea. That's a problem of perspective. Because as long as it was setup as a test then there's pass or fail. But if it's codifying my idea, then it's putting it in a position that I can help other people.
Now, once I've got that new Problem perspective then I can start to search for the Truth that makes it impossible for me to keep looking at it as a test. The Truth is the thing that people continued to say to me. It's that they want, they need to have me in their pocket and that's the role I want to play for people.
I want, I believe that people have all the resources they need and I want this book to be like having that. Or having me kind of sitting on your shoulder figuring this out along with you. That's the kind of person that I want to be and I'd to think that I am.
So this process of figuring out change, whether it's for yourself or somebody else. Well, that first thing we have to understand is whether or not we're dealing with something that's a technical change. Because that's information. If they've got all the information to make the technical change we have to look deeper at that adaptive change.
That's when you're going to start to either follow that process that Lahey and Kegan laid out. Or you could also use the pieces of the Red Thread to codify and clarify it. Then you start to swap out the pieces until the course of that story in your head makes sense—it's different.
Within a week I was having conversations with book agents. Writing out the proposal. I started to put a draft table of contents together. It let me really understand what was going on deep down inside by using those fundamental pieces all of us operate with. How we see the world because, as we've talked about before, how we see drives what we do.
Which means if you're trying to change what you do you have to change how you see. And hopefully, either the Lahey Kegan process, or the Red Thread can help you do just that. Whether for you or for someone else.
That's this week's episode of Find the Red Thread. I'm Tamsen Webster of tamsenwebster.com. If you enjoyed this episode, do me a favor Like, subscribe, or share it. Or all three. And until next time.

Anyone's Choice
November 28, 2018
Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.
Email This Story
Have you ever wanted to ask that special person out to a school dance but then realized you couldn't, because it was either a girl's or boy's choice, and it wasn't your turn?
Well, I believe that dances should be for anyone to ask anyone!
At Murray High we don't have any dances where anyone can ask anyone. All of our dances are only boys or girls choice. How about we add anyone's choice to the mix?
Many may say, "At least we have a girls choice," which allows greater empowerment for women. However, there is an ugly truth that is hidden behind the shadows of the Sadie Hawkins dance.
The Sadie Hawkins dance was established on November 15, 1937. It is a dance in which instead of males asking who they want, it's females who get to ask instead.
Truthfully and sadly it got started from a comic book called Li'l Abner. But the reasoning behind creating a girls choice dance is not so sweet. In the comic there's a girl that is considered "ugly" and is not married yet. She is named Hekzebiah Hawkins.
Hekzebiah's father doesn't want to be stuck with her, so he creates a day where she can get someone to marry her. This is seen as funny because the males are told to run, and the one that his daughter catches will be her husband. Everyone runs, but no one stops or takes a chance on the girl.
That may have been funny then, but it's not funny now. Times have changed and we don't want to keep this memory alive. The empowerment women once thought we had has been flipped.
That's why we need a new idea that has a great meaning, and it is called Anyone's Choice.
However you self identify you can choose who you go with.
Sophomore, Rachel Bonney, said that she believes that Anyone's Choice dances could be "confusing," because no one will know who to ask or who has been asked.
Although one thing she said struck me. It calls for the compromise of both our current dances and Anyone's Choice. She started, "Doing anyone's choice isn't a bad idea and it could be cool if they did all three, like some dances girls choice" like Fall Ball and Spring Fling."Some dances are boys choice," Homecoming and Prom. "And some dances anyone's choice."
Why haven't we done this sooner? With the increase in LGBTQ community people should be able to ask whomever they want.
Sadie Hawkins dances don't have a good message, but the comic strip created something great for women. A chance to have a choice; this also helped with women empowerment.
We don't have to toss away our traditions, I believe we just need to add a new one, and this new one is Anyone's Choice.
Anyone's Choice will give empowerment to the LGBTQ community.
Ladies let's give them the chance we got, and men let's make a new kind of unification in our schools. Empowerment is not only a gift, but a need. Let's make it shine.

Negligence often accounts for individuals suffering injuries at the hands of other parties. When a patient suffers due to hospital negligence, the issue can be quite serious as the outcomes of such negligence may result in severe or potentially fatal injuries or illness. When patients find themselves in this type of negative situation, they may wish to consider their options for seeking compensation.
New Jersey readers may be interested in one out-of-state man's predicament for which he has recently taken legal action. Reports stated that the man has filed a medical malpractice claim, alleging that a hospital did not provide the necessary care for his situation. The negligence apparently took place over the course of a few months while the man was hospitalized for an undisclosed reason.
During his hospital stay, the man developed a severe pressure sore that was considered a stage 3 sore, meaning it had extended into the tissue underneath the skin. The man believes that the hospital is responsible for his injury because staff members did not take the appropriate measures for skin care and failed to prevent, recognize and treat his various conditions. He hopes to gain compensation through his legal claim.
In some cases, injuries to patients could be preventable if hospital staff carry out their duties correctly. Unfortunately, as this case shows, hospital negligence can lead to individuals suffering due to lack of proper care. If New Jersey residents have been the victims of such negligence, they may wish to consider taking legal steps of their own, and interested parties may want to begin by speaking with experienced attorneys.
