Controlability, information-processing and learning motivation: the moderation of working memory by perceptions of control
Document Type
Publication details
Yeigh, T 2004, 'Controlability, information-processing and learning motivation: the moderation of working memory by perceptions of control', Australian Educational and Developmental Psychologist, vol. 19, no. 1, pp. 66-86.
Published version available from:
Peer Reviewed
This study investigated the effects of perceived controllobility on information processing within the attributional model of learning (Weiner, 1985, 1986). Attributional style was used to identify trait patterns of controllability for 37 university student. Task-relevant feedback was then manipulated to test for differences in working memory function between participants with high versus low levels of trait controllobility. Trait controllability occurred differently for hi-trait and lo-trait types. Results supported the hypothesis that it exerts a moderating effect on the way task-relevant feedback is processed. This selective encoding of information appeared to involve limitations inherent to the working memory system that affect processing efficiency, marking an important consideration for the way in which information is presented during the learning process.

Today, August 20, 2012, TIFF sent out notifications of the ticket selection windows for anyone who purchased a My Choice ticket package. If you didn't receive a notification by e-mail, I suggest you check your junk mail folder or contact TIFF customer support if you really didn't get anything, but do it before August 23.
Starting August 21, the official film schedule will be released, which lists all the movies at this year's festival, and the dates and times at which the movies will be shown. You can view the schedule online, or pick up a paper copy at the Festival Box Office. If you purchased a Programme Book, you should also be able to pick it up starting on the 21st.
For TIFF Members, ticket selection will occur between August 23 and August 26. For non-TIFF Members, ticket selection will occur between August 26 and August 29. Your actual start time will have been e-mailed to you. Note that if you bought a Back Half or Daytime package, your ticket window will actually occur sometime between September 3 and 5.
If you bought multiple packages, you apparently will receive a separate login for each package. However, if you bought all your packages in the same transaction, you will get the same start time for all of them, but you may still have to login separately for each one.
You can make your selections online at the TIFF website anytime between your allotted start time and 7:00 PM on August 29. If you fail to make your selections by the 29th, then you must wait until 10:00 AM on September 3. You have from then until 7:00 PM on September 5. If you still fail to make your selections within that second period, after that you'll get vouchers that you can redeem for tickets, but you'll have to line up at the box office in person to do so.
If you don't have a computer to make your selections online, you can go to the Festival Box Office starting at your allotted time and the staff will assist you.
When you log into the site to make your selections, you must pick all your films in that session. You cannot make some of your selections, log out, and then log in again at a later date to finish. Once you log in, best information at this point indicates you may only have one hour to complete your selections, so plan your picks ahead of time. For example, if you bought a 60-pack, you would have to select one film on average every minute to complete on time.
Note that if you get a start time of say 8:00 AM on August 27, you don't have to log in at that very moment. You can login anytime from that start time until 7:00 PM on August 29. Whenever you do log in, you will have one hour to make your picks.
If you fail to make all your picks within your session, you will receive vouchers for the remaining films, which you can redeem at the Festival Box Office starting September 4.
Some tips:
- Since you have a limited amount of time to select your screenings, plan your choices in advance. The full schedule will be available starting August 21, so you'll likely have a few days to plan out the films you want to see before your window opens.
- Pick multiple backup choices in case your first choice is already sold out, especially if you are picking screenings likely to be more popular (e.g. ones with a famous cast or a lot of buzz). You may not have enough time available to pick an alternate on the fly.
- The site may not prevent you from selecting conflicting screenings, so the onus is on you to make sure your screenings do not overlap. Don't forget to leave time to get from one film to another, and don't forget to account for the fact screenings may start late or run long with Q&A sessions (i.e. avoid scheduling movies within 30 minutes of one another unless they are in the same theatre, as you'll likely never make it).

Club meeting 10 March
FoG-N. Andrew's Italians defeated Brett's new revolutionary French army (or Lee's old army).
FoF-N. Al's peninsular British defeated Philip's 1815 Netherlands army.
FOW. Two WWII games - Kit v Mike, and Rob (Afrika Korps) v Steve (Soviets).
WHFB. Alan's Brettonians took on Dan's Skaven.
Club meeting 24 February
FoG-AM 15mm. Michael's Koreans defeated Alan's Principate Romans.
DBR 15mm. Gervais (Italian Wars French) beat Philip (Neapolitan Spanish) 9-1
FoG-N. The only Napoleonics at the club today was Kendall's solo practice game using Russians and Prussians, with the occasional intervention of Al, Kit, and other passers by.
Flames of War. Steve and Lee had two games, Soviet Cossacks v German, and then a German v German training game.
BattleCry 16-17 February
There was a good turnout from the club at BattleCry with players involved in Napoleonics, Flames of War, and Moderns. Steve came 2nd in the Flames of war late war competition organised by Kit. Andrew won the Napoleonics competition, and Philip was 3rd.
Club meeting 10 February
Unmistakable signs of an approaching convention - lots of training games on today getting ready for BattleCry next weekend.
Rob had a couple of Flames of War games, against Lyndon and Steve.
There were four Napoleonics games: Al (British) v Kendall (Russians); Alan (Westphalians) v Michael (British); Andrew (Russians) v Brett (Austrians); Benny (French) v Philip (Netherlands).
Dan and Matt had a couple more games of 20mm WWII using the Bolt Action rules.
Club meeting 27 January
It was a particularly quiet day at the club today. Just the one game, with two players and four onlookers. Andrew and Brett were trying out some of the campaign rules for the Napoleonics campaign planned for later this year. Andrew was using an Italian army against Brett's 1814 French. Andrew's flank march came on nice and early, saw off the French counter attack with little effort, and picked up a 30-10 win for almost no losses. Finishing the game with two fresh cavalry units, the Italians would have got a good pursuit in the campaign game.
CanCon 26-27 January
Good luck to our club members over in Canberra for The Worlds. Steve is playing in FOW, and Stu is in the DBR competition.
Club meeting 13 January
Welcome back to the club for the New Year! The club hall was a typically hot summer day, with a good turnout at this meeting.
DBMM 15mm. Steve got a comprehensive victory against Philip (Late Romans vs Mithridatic). Both sides had a cavalry wing with a lot of Kn, who didn't do much to each other. Meanwhile the Roman Bd and Wb did all the hard work to get the victory.
FOG-N. Three games of Napoleonics today.
Andrew D (Russian Guard) played Michael (British Peninsular)
Andrew H (Italians) beat Kit (1815 British) in a 1000 point game. Shortly after the British army broke we remembered the rule about Guards not testing for seeing non-Guards rout.
Keith was trying out his newly painted French army against Brett's Austrians. It did rather well, winning the game for the loss of only 1 point from spent cavalry.

TMZ released the snippet of her hook on producer Mally Mall's new track "Pop That P**sy Like a Pistol". According to Hollywood Unlocked this won't be the last time we hear from her either!
Via Hollywood Unlocked:
Chyna is currently working on her debut album and has already recruited some hip-hop heavy hitters to collab with her on the new project including Yo Gotti, Tory Lanez, and Rae Sremmurd's Swae Lee.

You peek to see if he's online because you want to send that long message you saved in your drafts to let him know you miss him. Your heart is aching from flashing memories of all the favorite dates you had. This is it. This is when reality hits you the most. You're in denial but you know you have to swallow the truth anyway. This is when you need to stop. Get up. Walk to the bathroom and dunk your face into water. At this moment, you just washed not only the sorrows from your eyes but the heartache you felt after months of being mistreated. Where did he go? Where was he when you went to bed crying from a broken heart? Realization flows into your body like a streaming river of regret. All those nights of you feeling like a ticking bomb waiting to explode because you overthink on the "what ifs" and "whys".

I read Broken Monsters after reading an article where Stephen King, the king of horror, recommended it. I was not disappointed.
What a story! Lauren Beukes has a handful of main characters that tell the story of a man succumbing to madness. But no matter who the narrator was, the city held the main stage. The decrepitness of the city, the population fleeing, the artists trying to dress up the crumbling houses, the homeless surviving on what's left behind by those leaving, the children growing up while the landscape dies. All the characters are essential to this story but it wouldn't be the same in another city. All the characters are witness to the descent of the city and the madman that is slowly terrorizing it, but they all have their own story to tell as well including single parenthood, failed aspirations, bullying, creating art, friendships, and priorities in life. Life must go on even when it seems like the city is over.
As we learn about how those living in a shrinking city are surviving and sometimes flourishing, we also get glimpses into madness. The madness should almost be its own character since it doesn't seem to be a man, but something that controls man outside of himself.
This book is dark with an evilness that most novels stay away from. It is so well done and creepy with a ending that holds up and transforms the story. Great read!

Warden worried about second wave of wind energy; 900 turbines possible in southern Ontario
Sarnia Lambton Independent
Lambton County Warden Todd Case is worried southwestern Ontario will be flooded with industrial wind turbines when the provincial government offers energy contracts to large companies soon. He wants the provincial government to rethink the green energy agenda before awarding any more contracts to produce power.
Case was recently in Windsor at the Federation of Canadian Municipalities Sustainability Conference. He visited a wind turbine plant in the city where the talk was about the province's next round of announcements for the Feed In Tariff (FIT) projects to large energy companies. Case says industry leaders expect that next round will place hundreds of turbines in southern Ontario and that has him worried.
"There are rumblings from the government there will be about 900 expected in (the region) the second process," says Case. Read article

"I don't see how a world that makes such wonderful things could be bad," says Ariel as she gazes at her trove of treasures from the human world. Books, paintings, tea sets, and tobacco pipes — Ariel has fallen in love with the world of land and men that lies above, though she knows it is forbidden for her to be a part of it.
The Little Mermaid was Disney's triumphant 1989 return to feature-length animated cinema, and 25 years later it is still bewitching hearts around the world. The Little Mermaid is perfect in the way that classic films are. From the opening credits where the score builds to a climax as a handsome merman's fins are revealed, to the finale when the sea witch becomes a skyscraper-sized drag queen and harnesses the power of the winds and waves to torture our teenage mermaid heroine, it is epic.
Of course, there's plenty of feminist critique to lob at the film: Ariel only speaks a few words to her prince before they are wed, and her father is intensely controlling. Many would call this film "problematic," but there is something about it that has stayed with me. And I'm not alone. I do not know a single female under the age of 35 who doesn't know almost all the words to "Part of Your World."
But the film is not without controversy. Disney gets a lot of flak for allegedly putting subliminal messages about sex in the animation, and The Little Mermaid is one of the most popular examples. I remember the first time a friend paused the film to reveal that, sure enough, the priest has what looks like, maybe, the beginnings of a boner beneath his robes. The animators designed the underwater palace of Atlantis to include a supremely phallic tower at its center.
Disney has fielded allegations of sexual messaging in The Lion King, Aladdin, Pocahontas, and other films, too. And while there's perhaps a possibility that this era of Disney animators was just a little bit pervy, I think the more likely explanation is that fairy tales of any kind work on our sexual subconscious in far more subtle and potent ways than a two-second shot of an ambiguous boner ever could — resulting in viewers overlaying their own pervy interpretations onto the narrative.
Freudian psychoanalyst Bruno Bettelheim argued that fairy tales are a crucial educational vehicle in sexual development. He has said that Cinderella functions as a story that subconsciously teaches the importance of finding the "correct" partner, and valuing female sexuality as precious and breakable — like the glass slipper. He asserts that fairy tales inform our fantasies, and shape the way we see the world.
So what did The Little Mermaid teach me (and perhaps an entire generation of my peers)?
As a little girl, I only knew that I loved the film because I loved the ocean. As a chubby adolescent queer, I understood Ariel's desire to get out of her own skin and live in a forbidden world. Now, as an adult sex worker, I identify with Ariel's decision to barter her body (in this case, her voice) for a shot at her dreams.
I've watched Cinderella dozens of times, and I still don't buy the theory of glass-slipper sexuality, so I'm not saying that The Little Mermaid subconsciously encouraged me to become a whore.
It did, however, give me impossibly unrealistic expectations of what my waistline and bangs were capable of. But it also functioned as an It Gets Better-esqe love letter to my subconscious. Ariel encouraged those of us who grew up feeling like we didn't belong in our skin to believe that one day, no matter how impossible it might seem, our dreams could come true and we could find a world that we belonged in.
For me, I've found that world in San Francisco among the queers, freaks, and whores like myself who believe in mermaids and attend Disney sing-alongs at the Castro Theatre. This world that seems dangerous and forbidden has become my home.
Watching Ariel now as she sings to her treasures and yearns for the forbidden world of humans reminds me of my first days of stripping when I was navigating my new position, along with the strange stigma that came with it. I would come home to my tiny San Francisco apartment, revel in the mess of Lucite heels, glitter, sequins, and pearls, and think the same thing as Ariel about a world that makes such wonderful things.

The 27.79% return of Hermes Multi Strategy Credit since its June 2013 inception has been driven by implementing our global, unconstrained approach1. The Strategy, which has grown to over $1bn in AUM, aims to generate strong gains from our best credit ideas while minimising downside risk through a dedicated exposure to defensive strategies. Importantly, the portfolio experienced far less volatility than the global high-yield market amid market and macroeconomic shocks, producing a Sharpe Ratio of 1.83.
Figure 1. Hermes Multi Strategy Credit v the global high-yield market
Source: Hermes. Performance shown is gross of fees and on a cumulative basis for the four-year period ending 31 May 2017. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance.
Hitting the mark: The aim of Hermes Multi Strategy Credit is to use the full breadth of the global liquid credit asset class, investing in bonds, derivatives and loans to deliver high-yield-like returns with lower volatility throughout market cycles. Seeking this outcome, we combine high-conviction investments with defensive trades by searching throughout the capital structures of issuers worldwide to identify which bonds, derivatives and loans offer superior return prospects or can be used to effectively mitigate risk. Since the launch of the Strategy, we have invested through the taper tantrum, China slowdown, global high-yield sell-offs and the recent turbulence in oil prices, the vote for Brexit and election of Donald Trump. Significant periods for the Strategy include:
2017 – calm between storms: for credit investors, the year to date has largely been characterised by rallying markets. In this benign environment, we aim to optimise the convexity of our credit exposure to maximise upside capture. We have also sought to increase returns by taking positions further along the credit curve and by finding attractive opportunities in unloved sectors, such as US retail. This has helped us generate a 3.69% gross return2 in the five months ending 31 May 2017.
2016 – fundamental focus: Through intensive bottom-up research, we have executed contrarian trades such as our investments in the global mining sector in early 2016, which was still experiencing a cyclical downturn. Anticipating creditor-friendly moves by stronger companies to bolster their balance sheets by cutting dividends, reducing capital expenditure and selling assets, we increased our exposure to the sector from 12.8% to 19.1% between Q3 2015 and Q1 2016. Among the issuers we invested in were Vale and BHP, which benefited from strong asset quality and conservative financial policies. Throughout 2016, our exposure to mining companies contributed strongly to our overall return, showing the benefit of favouring fundamentals instead of prevailing sentiment.
2015 – avoiding the lows of high yield: In Q3 2015, amid growing certainty that the Fed would raise rates for the first time in almost a decade, liquidity fears spurred a global high-yield sell off that drove the market -4.50% lower for the quarter. It ultimately returned -2.03% by the end of the year. In the preceding months, we increased our investment-grade credit and leveraged-loan allocation to 30% of the portfolio, and this exposure to higher quality assets preserved capital during a period of market stress and helped drive our 1.05% return for 20153.
Figure 2. Smooth delivery: portfolio exhibits less volatility than the high-yield market
Source: Hermes as at 6 June 2017
2014 – Tapping the good oil: In October 2014, oil prices began to fall precipitously after OPEC refused to halt production despite global oversupply. This adverse impact on the US shale market, where many producers were highly leveraged due to higher operational costs, would soon be felt in the high-yield market. Two months before oil prices began to slide, we cautioned that investors should be particularly selective in the North America shale oil and gas market as it featured many entrants with uncertain long-term prospects. We avoided these stressed companies and exploited the breadth of our universe by investing in more mature commodity businesses with proven operations and reserves, and in undervalued but robust oil companies in the politically beleaguered Russian market.
2013 – the taper test: In Q2 2013, when the Federal Reserve first indicated that it would reduce quantitative easing after almost five years of running the bond-buying programme, the market's acute sensitivity to changes in US interest rates became clear. Fear of a rate hike had already caused overcrowding in short-duration bonds, and this strong demand allowed issuers to introduce looser covenants and shorter non-call periods. We were unwilling to accept the consequent risks – high valuations, weaker investor protections and diminished upside – and invested in credit default swaps of companies instead to gain a similar short-duration exposure. We avoided two-thirds of the drawdown, returning -0.95% compared to the market's -2.76% for the month of June4.
Maintaining momentum: Our flexible investment approach has driven the strong risk-adjusted returns of Hermes Multi Strategy Credit in its first four years, as evidenced by its Sharpe ratio of 1.83 for the period, despite macroeconomic and technical market shocks5. Amid the current risks – from geopolitical developments, the pace and extent of US monetary-policy tightening and China's mounting corporate debt – we continue to find opportunities to generate attractive returns and preserve capital.

Simplifying Resistance Rolls
Copyright Jonathan Dale ©2002
Edited by Peter Mork for The Guild Companion
Rolemaster uses a relatively simple game mechanic for
resolving most actions: the static maneuver. Roll the dice, apply modifiers,
and compare the result to a familiar table, one straightforward enough that
many of us memorize the key numbers. In addition to this mechanic, Rolemaster
uses the moving maneuver, the combat table, the base spell attack table, and
the resistance roll table. This assortment of mechanics requires more page
flipping and table-lookups, and more learning for new players and gamemasters.
For those who want to streamline play or simplify the learning process,
eliminating some of these mechanics can be desirable.
RMFRP and 10 Million Ways To Die offer
combined combat tables for those who prefer them. Moving maneuvers can be
glossed over in favor of static maneuvers; we have played this way for years.
But the base spell attack table (the BAR) and the resistance roll table (RR)
have remained requirements. In this article, I present an alternative method of
resolving resistance rolls based on the static maneuver table. This method
completely replaces both the BAR and the RR tables, so it eliminates one roll
and two mechanics with their associated tables. New tables are provided with
this article as a PDF file, at the end of the article.
Use the Spell Casting Static Maneuver table T-4.5 (pg. 46 in
RMFRP) to resolve the spell-casting attempt, as normal. Since the BAR
provides an additional chance of spell failure, I suggest requiring a SCSM roll
for all basic attack spells (i.e., all spells of type F), even if the
requirements for automatic spell casting are met. Normal modifiers apply to
this roll.
The result on the SCSM table modifies the resistance roll as
Partial Success: the RR is an Easy
maneuver (+20).
Near Success: the RR is a Light
maneuver (+10).
Unusual Success: the RR is an
Extremely Hard maneuver (-30).
Success: the RR is a Medium
maneuver (+0).
Absolute Success: the RR is a Very
Hard maneuver (-20).
This results in very successful spell casting being more
difficult to resist, replacing the same effect from the BAR table without the
need for a second roll, mechanic, and table. These modifiers are also listed on
the RRSM table.
Use the Resistance Roll Static Maneuver (RRSM) table
provided with this article to resolve the resistance roll. All normal RR
modifiers are listed on the table; special modifiers to resistance rolls (from
spells, or from spells or items which are unusually difficult to resist) should
also be applied to the RRSM roll. The different columns of the BAR table have
been replaced with modifiers for armor type and spell realm. Any special BAR
modifiers should also be applied to this roll, but as penalties. For example,
the Mental Assault (Attack) skill from the Mentalism Companion adds its number
of skill ranks to the BAR roll. Instead, subtract these from the RRSM roll.
A new modifier is also added for target and caster level.
This exactly mirrors the structure of the normal RR table.
Many of these modifiers will be constant, and can be
computed in advance for each realm, reducing the number of calculations needed
during battle. These include:
When resolving spells whose duration depends on the amount
the RR is failed by (durations such as "1 rnd/10 fail"), the duration
should be computed based on the amount the roll fell short of success. For
example, if the total roll is 91, it is 20 less than 111 (the roll needed for
success). If the duration were listed as "1 rnd/10 fail," the actual
spell duration would then be two rounds. For these types of spells, you may
prefer not to modify the duration according to the RRSM table (which would
exaggerate differences in durations by halving them for near successes and
multiplying them for absolute and spectacular failures).
A second RRSM table is provided for resistance rolls against
poisons and diseases. Apply normal RR modifiers (three times the character's
constitution bonus, the racial bonus, etc.) and use the poison or disease's
level in place of the caster level. Gamemaster Law provides much more
information about the meaning of mild, moderate, severe, and extreme effects of
poison and disease; the table simply provides a quick summary in most cases and
is not meant to replace the GM Law results when these are referenced.

How To Market And Promote The Unusual
by Tom Egelhoff
This article was inspired by the following email I received.
Hi Tom!
Just a note to tell you that I've finished your book and appreciate all of your wisdom so much! It took me a while to get through it because I conducted Internet searches as I read. You'll mention something (like various organizations) and I have to go look. I have learned so much, both from you and the sources your book points to. It's amazing how much of this data can be adapted to my mission.
Thank you again so much. And since you gave me so many ideas, may I give you one? How about adapting some of your material for people, such as myself, who need resources on promoting/marketing the unusual? I promise you, there's nothing out there, especially for the novice.
Thank you again,
A Happy Marketer from
North Carolina
Thanks for the kind words and the great suggestion. Here's your article:
What Is Unusual Anyway?
In the movie, "Smokey and the Bandit", Burt Reynolds tells Sally Field, "When you tell somebody something - it depends on what part of the country you're standin' in - as to how dumb you are."
In other words, what may be unusual or out of place in one part of the world is perfectly normal somewhere else. It isn't really the product or service that determines what is unusual, it's you and your perception of it. Once you understand this simple premise, the easier it will be to market and promote unusual products or services.
Education Is Often The Key
We all remember one of the greatest money-makers of all time...the Hula Hoop. Have you ever tried it? It's not easy. It takes a small amount of coordination to master it.
Now, think back to a time before the hula hoop. You are the inventor. Would you try to promote or advertise this wonderful toy on the radio? Why not? Couldn't you explain that it is a plastic hoop that goes around your waist and you rotate your hips and it's fun. Sit back and wait for the orders to roll in.
The hula hoop needs to be explained visually. Every day on TV, we see info-mercials about all sorts of products. Some good and some bad, but all need to be visually demonstrated to educate the customer about how to use them.
Some Assembly Required
Please don't misunderstand. Not all products and services require TV as your main media. You may be able to get the message across with photos or drawings with detailed instructions.
I have spent more than a few Christmas Eves' with a page of "some assembly required" instructions to help me build a child's toy. There must be a school somewhere that teaches these people how to leave out that one key instruction. I either have parts left over or it looks like it's leaning one way or the other.
As human beings, it is natural for us to resist change. We must emotionally convince ourselves that the benefits of learning to use a new product or service will make our lives better than going without it. This makes the marketing of the unusual more challenging.
How Marketing And Promotion Work For The Unusual
The secret of marketing, is now and always will be, putting the benefits of the product together with the target market that needs those benefits. Usually through some form of advertising.
The two biggest mistakes in marketing, and even bigger with unusual products or services, is advertising the wrong benefits to the wrong people in the wrong place. Here's how to do it the right way.
Start With The Product Or Service
If I'm selling bread, I don't have to educate my customer about what bread is. I just have to make an argument why my bread is better or has a greater benefit that what you're buying now. With the unusual product I often have to do both.
Start with your product or service. Why was it invented? Does it save time, energy? Could it become a necessity like the telephone? Or a luxury like a camcorder? Can it increase production? Can it reduce costs? Real demonstrated benefits must be shown to the customer.
If the product must be demonstrated, contact the news department (not the advertising department) of your local TV station, and ask a reporter to witness the demonstration. You may just get on TV free. If you do, make a copy of the broadcast, get a release from the TV station, and make copies to pass out.
Features are fine but if each feature doesn't have a corresponding benefit to the customer it's unimportant.
Once these questions are answered, the next step is to match them up with the benefits of your product and the reasons people buy. See previous articles: "Why Customers Buy" & "Developing Product Benefits."
Remember above, we talked about the hula hoop. Early marketing and promotion strategies for that product consisted of giving away free hula hoops. Who was the target market? Was it Mom and Dad? They eventually made the purchase.
In this case the purchaser, the parents, actually became the secondary market. Kids were the primary market. And kids were who they marketed to.
They gave away thousands of hula hoops to make tens of millions of dollars. They held contests, demonstrations in shopping malls. Most promotion was done on the local level. Who was the target market? Every kid between the ages of 5 to 12 had to have one. Soon they drew national attention and the rest is history.
As adults we outgrow our need for children's toys. We change our focus to bigger and more expensive toys but we never quite lose that, "I've got to have a hula hoop." mentality.
Your Three Kinds Of Customers
There are always people who want to be on the cutting edge. They will always buy anything new. They were the first family on the block with a TV, VCR or microwave.
There is also the opposite group who never buys anything new. They were the very last family in the neighborhood to get a TV or a VCR. They will be the very last people to get on the Internet. Their argument has always been, "I want to wait until they've got all the bugs worked out." "I'll buy it when they perfect it."
The final group is the largest group. The group with the open mind. "I can't guarantee I'll buy, but I'll give your message a fair hearing."
Start with this group and segment out the customers most likely to want your product and direct your message to them.
The Message
Even if you are reaching the right market, without the right message you are wasting time and money. Your message is twofold: One, education about what the product or service is. And, two, the benefits of the product to the end user.
Notice I said "end user" not the customer. With some products, the end user may not actually purchase the product. Kids are usually the end users of Kool-Aid® but seldom buy it themselves.
Use a market analysis: See: "How To Do A Market Analysis." to help with your message.
The Target
Once you have developed the education strategy and the message, the target market is next. Who are the people most likely to want this product. See: "How To Find Your Target Market."
The Last Word On The Unusual
Marketing the unusual isn't really too much different than marketing mainstream products and services. The real difference is the amount of education and understanding of the benefits that may be required before the customer is confident to make a decision.

Auto dealerships in any particular city typically will enter the thousands; it is one of the biggest retail businesses in almost every country all over the globe. This generally happens for any range of reasons from the necessity for transportation to the concept that buying a motor vehicle is actually a tough currency investment.
Generally many individuals have a tendency to underestimate the importance of finding the perfect sort of dealerships that'll suit their precise needs. Finding the proper type of kia dealership is actually quite important in the event that you'd like to obtain the ideal kind of car or fit the facts to that which is desired in your head. What many do not seem to realise is the fact that there are specific auto dealerships for certain kinds of vehicles in addition to specific dealerships for specific kinds of brands. The best thing would be to learn more or less the kind of vehicle that you are looking for and then trying to pin that type to some brands that are most commonly understood for manufacturing that specific kind of vehicle.
If you've taken these steps then the upcoming portion of putting together a automobile buying strategy is to choose the 2 factors you have already prearranged, namely the sort of vehicle and the brand most associated with that type of vehicle and then matching that information with automobile that specialize in that brand expressly or are understood to carry that brand in their fleet of car brands. Some cars are extremely unique or unique to certain kia dealerships therefore if it is that specific sort of car that you're looking for you will most certainly be wasting your own time and money driving in one automobile to the next looking for an automobile that they just do not have.
Another crucial thing to bear in mind is the fact that in many cases it's better to get a car through a dealership particularly in the case of used or previously owned cars. That is because car dealerships will honour any warranties that can come with this particular vehicle and car dealerships may even stand by any service plans which particular vehicle comes with for however long that specific policy or warranty is valid for.
As you can view finding the correct kinds of dealerships is quite much associated with specific brands or vehicle type s and so the next occasion that you are in fact thinking of buying a car keep in mind that the ideal location to start your search is at the appropriate car auto dealerships. It will not only save you time however additionally, it will help save you money in the future as well as offer you absolute peace of mind.
The general notion of dealerships is that they formalise the buying and sale of car. They are going to be able to inform you the true market value of your car and exactly what you could realistically hope to sell it to get if you are going to sell it privately and exactly what they are going to offer you for the specific same car. One dealerships offer you virtually the same for your car as another automobile dealership is going to offer you. Which means you do not need to go searching for car dealerships seeking to find a better trade in value for your car.

the girls seem better though. maggie ended up getting the cold, but her sinuses drain well, so nothing stagnates in there. nina and i suffer from mucous stagnation.
did i mention in the last post that maggie wore pants?! she wore them again on monday. today she wore the sleeping beauty dress with tights. good enough for me! she got a lot of compliments too, at the school when we picked up nina and at the grocery store. people kept telling her they liked her tutu (she was wearing her jacket over the dress, so it did look like a tutu. and she'd frown and say "no, it's my sempa beauty dress". for some reason she still says "sempa" instead of "sleeping."
well, i'm going to bed now, i was going to put up some more photos tonight but i didn't put maggie down until 9:30, so perhaps tomorrow.

By William Raspberry
Monday, March 28, 2005; Page A17
One of the ways we maintain our sense of personal superiority (and by implication, the superiority of our ideas) is to focus on the unseemly behavior of those who disagree with us.
And so liberals have had a field day with the sad, sad case of Terri Schiavo. The obvious political motivation of the likes of Tom DeLay and at least some of the members of both houses of Congress who rushed through that absurd legislation a week ago, the alacrity with which President Bush, importuned by his brother Jeb, leapt to sign the bill to keep Schiavo alive, and all the public hoo-ha from partisans with bigger fish to fry served to confirm the tawdriness of the worst of the right and, therefore, the sweet reason of liberal views.
Jumping on the tawdry behavior of those who disagree with us is easy. The issue itself is excruciatingly difficult.
In its simplest terms, the question is: Is Terri Schiavo dead or alive? And if we grant that she is "technically" alive, is hers a life worth continuing?
And it becomes instantly clear why we would rather make ad hominem arguments, or carry on about the wishes apparently expressed by Schiavo herself more than 15 years ago.
Ostensibly neutral outsiders have examined the latter issue and have arrived at the conclusion that the woman really did discuss with her husband their mutual wish not to be kept alive solely through the use of heart-lung machines, feeding tubes and other "heroic" means.
That would seem to settle the legal question. But far more than law is at issue. The Schiavo case is, among other things, a proxy for the legally resolved but still troubling debate over abortion.
Right-to-lifers understand that if they permit the quality of Terri Schiavo's life to become the determining issue, they will have accepted the rationality of abortion for damaged fetuses and put themselves on the slippery slope that makes it hard to resist abortion on demand.
Abortion rights advocates understand that to accept the sanctity of all life -- including the persistent vegetative state of Schiavo's -- is to make abortion immoral. So we intrude into the private torment of Schiavo's husband and her parents and use their agony to carry the weight of our own ideas.
But we also use it to mask the inherent difficulty of the debate. We might agree as a matter of law that the recorded wishes of the person whose death is at issue ought to be determinative. But it doesn't really carry us through the deeper moral questions. I don't wish to be kept artificially alive beyond reasonable hope of medical help, and I've indicated as much in my living will. I think my view should be honored. But what of the guy who doesn't wish to go on living without the girlfriend who left him? Does he have a right to die? To call on others to help him die? Even if he has recorded his morbid desire and had it notarized?
The quality-of-life standard, I am saying, is not as reliable as some of us would like to believe. The question of ending life -- of which life is not worth prolonging -- is never easy, nor should it ever become easy.
Even beyond the philosophical questions, there is another matter the Schiavo case calls to mind: our unease with death.
Much of our knowledge of ancient cultures has been gleaned from the unwillingness of the living to acknowledge the death of the dead. Not just pharaohs and kings but ordinary folk, as well, have hoped to preserve life even after death.
How much more tempting it must be with loved ones whose blood still circulates, and whose faces seem to smile.
I mean no insult to mention the thousands of people who have their beloved pets mounted to keep them near after death. But it seems clear to me that we will develop the means to blur even further the line between death and life -- machines to mimic bodily functions, induce facial expressions and give the appearance of life to the dead. Is it so hard to imagine that some who can afford it would choose to keep their dear ones permanently at ersatz peace behind gauzy curtains and dim lights? Are you certain we're not creeping toward human taxidermy?
The law seems to be on the side of Terri Schiavo's husband, though only a heartless ideologue would dismiss the feelings of her parents to the contrary.
The questions of death -- when to forestall it, when to assist it and who gets to decide -- are agonizingly difficult.
May they ever remain so.

Finding strong arguments for your essay
Finding a strong argument for your essay can be a difficult task for any writer of a persuasive essay. Finding an argument for your essay takes a few key steps. First is finding a topic, next is doing the research and finally is drawing on any past experiences and actually writing the argument and formatting the essay for the argument. All these steps will create a strong essay and finding the strongest arguments creates the strongest essays. It is easy to fall into many traps along the way, but it is possible to create a successful strong persuasive argument.
Finding a topic
Finding a strong argument starts with a topic. Pick a topic that interests you and then specify the topic so that you can have a focused argument for your essay. If you are too vague on a topic it could lead to an argument that is vague and can seem almost like common sense with no meaning behind it to convince the reader. Pick a topic that both interests you can be inspired to research the paper more thoroughly and will make more of an effort to argue your side.
Research your topic thoroughly so that your argument is both valid and has credibility. If there is no evidence for your argument, it is weak and you may want to reconsider your argument or the side you have chosen to write about. There is very little validity in an argument that has no research to back it up. Draw on past experiences as well, include interviews from personal resources to back up your personal experiences along with research and that can also make your argument stronger and more interesting for the audience. Do not include many opinions as they can dilute your argument, making it weaker and make it seem less credible. Facts are the most important in an argument and being as concise as possible is important.
In conclusion
Research, drawing on past experiences, and picking the right topic are all important in finding a strong argument. The wrong topic can make your argument weaker and less valid, lack of research or too many opinions will weaken an argument. if you see yourself falling into these traps or you find your argument can not be sufficiently backed up, it may be necessary to change your topic or side of the argument you are on so that you can be more successful in your argument.

University of California, Santa Barbara
This is an unabridged version of my lecture notes from "Toward a Queer Crip Feminist Politics of Food." Apologies for inaccuracies/omissions/misattribution – Hall's talk was incredibly rich and I struggled to keep up with condensing everything to 140 characters at some points!
Getting ready to live tweet a lecture by Kim Hall, "Toward a Queer Crip Feminist Politics of Food," at UCSB. Filter #QCFF if desired.
#QCFF held as part of the UCSB Interdisciplinary Humanities Center's New Sexualities Research Focus Group. bit.ly/1277qC4
Sponsored by lots and lots of departments/orgs on campus. See flyer for details! bit.ly/1277Bxa #QCFF
Introductions by Mireille Miller-Young, prof of Feminist Studies, and Carly Thomsen, Ph.D. student in Feminist Studies. #QCFF
Kim Hall is Prof of Philosophy at Appalachian State University. bit.ly/1278XI5 #QCFF
Will abbreviate Kim Hall as KH from now on. #QCFF
"Every culture has its own food." – Hahn on disability and food. Crip food = fast food bc of ease? #QCFF
Fast food also disables people, environments, cultures. #QCFF
Pollen food rules: don't eat what yr grt-grandma wdn't recog; eat foods u can picture; it's not food if it arrives thru window of car #QCFF
KH goes on to complicate these rules: they are built on assumptions of race, women as keepers of cultures #QCFF
transparency of what food is "supposed" to look like touches on assump that things should seem what they are- what ab queer/trans ppl? #QCFF
Really enjoying KH's breakdown of food assumptions; such an inspiring exercise of interdisciplinary critique #QCFF
KH: Disability studies and queer theory have largely ignored food studies, despite all of these productive points of contact. #QCFF
Queer Crip Feminist politics of food sees coalitional possibilities between disability and other movements #QCFF
KH wants to substitute Food Justice for Food Sustainability; sustainability = neoliberal concept #QCFF
McGruer: chunk of concrete as metaphor for coalitional framework; disability studies takes sledgehammer to what has been concretized #QCFF
Paradox of position of critiquing identity-based politics while refusing to dissolve identity #QCFF
Critique: Feminism played role in normalizing industrialized food production? KH says it is more complicated, not "fault" of feminism #QCFF
KH: Metaphysics of compost: understanding of food that conceives it as network of relationships #QCFF
Food as medicine approach mirrors eugenics approach to disability: bodies need to be "fixed," regulated, protected from disability #QCFF
Alternative food movements mark class/race diff, inscribe hierarchies, mark certain cultural practices as unhealthy (unsanitary) #QCFF
Hygienic eating as way to produce healthy (clean) citizens, starts with good consumer choices. #QCFF
Hygienic eating as way to produce healthy (clean) citizens, starts with good consumer choices. #QCFF
self-improvement through eating "appropriate" food is a security practice aimed at protecting public from contamination #QCFF
On Sinclair/The Jungle: class-privileged whites concerned with protecting selves from unsanitary workers in food production #QCFF
On Behind the Kitchen Door: Notions of sustainability include workers' rights, but underlying concern is for cleanliness of food/self #QCFF
To motivate ppl to care about workers, first mobilize fear of contamination, which has racist discourse of superiority #QCFF
Accessibility in restaurant industry: NOT about access per se, but how environments are exploitative #QCFF
#QCFF MT @AliceDreger: @NazcaTheMad So are you saying b/c I feel healthier off gluten and am migraine-free off milk I'm a eugnicist?
Food security – all ppl have access to food to lead healthy & active lives; what are the meanings of "access" from crip fem persp? #QCFF
Growing power mvmt = example of how revolutionary mvmts can be coopted in ways that negate radical potential #QCFF
Black communities & farming: historical desire to distance from agriculture, lack of access to land, poverty & location in urban env #QCFF
Addressing food insecurity via "growing power" = narrative of self-sufficiency, overlooks possibilities of valuing interdependence #QCFF
In crip, feminist perspectives, self-sufficiency is an illusion. Interdependence between dependent actors is closer to reality. #QCFF
Interdependence: openness to the not-yet; farming as being helpless to other factors #QCFF
(<3 ❤ ❤ emphasis on interdependence. We are not islands) #QCFF
#QCFF attends to interactive, interdependent nature of foods; there are no "pure" foods
Interdependence is considered disabling in an ableist society. Relying on others sucks. #QCFF
KH not trying to defend processed food, but what it means for food to be good is in part a realization of a community #QCFF
No pure food, no pure food choice – what do you do? #QCFF
Metaphysics of compost – simultaneously decay & life. Worms question division of sexes. Interdependence of food, rot, ickiness #QCFF
#QCFF has 3 features: 1. critique of discourses of normalization/purity in food, 2. resistance to conception of food as cure, medicine ( )
Q&A: Whole Foods as putting "healthy"/"responsible" food choices in service of capitalism for a privileged few #QCFF
In some places (particularly low-income, rural areas), Walmart… is the only place to go. What to do then? #QCFF
KH: Never easy to tease out necessities of life from political efficacy; but some language can foreclose possibility for coalition #QCFF
On new materialism: thinking about body as an openness to the world. Is dirt something "other" than us? Or are we enmeshed in it #QCFF
On animal studies: troubling distinction bt non/human. Dehumanization of the disabled is one place this is particularly relevant #QCFF
On troubling food mvmt: sometimes the "right" thing is not only about the properties of what we eat. #QCFF
There is a certain amount of living with harm (responsibly) that we must endure #QCFF
On the human as food: this is one of the distinctions that we make – humans are not food. But that's silly bc we totes are. #QCFF
From dirt to crocodile attacks – humans are food. #QCFF
#QCFF RT @leighalexander: my cat stole a chicken wing and watching her attempt to eat it is so hilarious i'm not even mad
Individual acts like reduce/reuse/recycle/eating habits will only go so far. We need more policies. #QCFF
On food and fitness culture: connecting to eg Michelle Obama's fitness imperatives; connecting fitness, healthy bodies to nationalism #QCFF
KH: Queer theory needs a concept of futurity, responsibility for the future. But it should NOT be reproductive. #QCFF
KH: Kind of irresponsible for queer theory not to conceptualize a future that we can, should intervene on. #QCFF
Thanks to the New Sexualities Research Focus Group, Carly Thomsen, and Lauren Clark for organizing such an awesome event.

This thesis work is concerned with identifying and trading sparse mean reverting portfolios based on observing random, multidimensional asset price time series. Mean reverting portfolios play a central role in convergence type of trading, as taking a position when being away from the mean and closing the position when returning the mean, one can obtain a considerable amount of profit (e.g. buying below the mean and selling when returning to the mean).
Since mean reverting stochastic processes can be modeled by the so-called Ornstein-Uhlenbeck stochastic differential equations, developing fast algorithms to identify OU processes as a linear combination of the asset prices has become one of the central research area of algorithmic trading. The complexity of the problem is greatly increased by the need for identifying sparse portfolios with a given cardinality constraint (i.e. only a subset of the assets are used in a portfolio), which casts the problem as a ,,subset selection problem'' proven to be NP hard. Sparse portfolios are important, when one wants to minimize the transaction costs of trading with the assets.
In the thesis, I review some basic approaches of describing and identifying mean reverting processes. My contribution lies in developing stochastic models for trading with mean reverting portfolios in the presence of bid-ask spread, or trading on the book.
I have developed these random models and included them into a comprehensive software package for detailed performance analysis. The method has been tried out on historical data of S&P 500 and swap rates.
The numerical results have clearly proven that mean reverting trading as a new form of low and high frequency algotrading is viable in the presence of secondary effects on daily as well as on intraday price series.
