The LG G5 has launched in South Africa and is available right now. We were lucky enough to have hands on time with the device ahead of the official launch. We used this time to put the device through its paces for this review.
Unlike a lot of other smartphone manufacturers (we are looking at you Apple and Samsung) LG has totally revised its latest flagship rather than just refining the previous generation. The new G5 looks very different to its predecessor the G4 and for the most part that is a good thing.
The G5 discards the plastic shell of the G4 in favour of a fancy metal jacket. Unlike other metal phones LG used an advanced process to treat the metal to give it a softer feel. This means that the phone feels cool to the touch but still has a comfortable texture and zero fingerprints. The phone itself is very thin and light. You can easily forget it's in your pocket and if this is a big feature for you then the LG G5 delivers. You will notice the longer bezel at the base of the phone – this is part of the modular design that you can swap out and replace. It does affect the overall aesthetic but most people who I asked failed to notice it at first glance and were surprised to see how it slides out.
Turn the phone over and you will immediately notice the two cameras at the top. LG has included both a standard and a wide-angle lens in the G5 making the camera slightly more pronounced.
Just below the cameras you will find the screen lock and built-in fingerprint scanner. The volume buttons have shifted from this location (where they were on the G4) to a more standard placement on the side of the device. We are happy with this change as we never quite got used to the G4's volume buttons. The fingerprint scanner is great and even surpasses other devices by allowing you to unlock the phone purely by placing your finger on it – no need to push the button.
While the design has changed a lot, holding the device in your hand does remind me of the G4. I think it's due to the thinness of the device and the way your index finger gravitates to the lock button on the back.
The LG G5 has the latest technology under the hood and matches up to the best on the market with the Snapdragon 820 processor and 4 GB of RAM making the phone very quick and responsive. The G5 has 32 GB of on-board storage with the option of adding up to 200 GB more through the microSD slot. The G5 has pretty much everything you would expect from a flagship smartphone from LTE to the 5.3-inch, 2560 x 1440 pixel screen.
The screen is particularly impressive and continues LG's strong run with displays. Coming in at 554ppi it is ever so slightly sharper than the G4, but not noticeably so. LG has continued to stick with the IPS LCD screen which is not quite as bright as the Samsung AMOLED screens but still a really strong offering. The only thing I was not a fan of is the lack of visibility when using polarised sunglasses. Normally only restricted to issues when in landscape mode, with the G5 the display seems to work the other way round making checking your phone in the sun tough if you wear polarised glasses.
For me the biggest talking point has to be the battery. LG has opted to decrease the capacity from 3000mAh in the G4 to 2800mAh with the G5. I found the G4 battery capacity a major problem especially 6 months in as it struggled to last a day with normal usage. The G5 has the option to swap out batteries with their modular design but that requires buying and carrying an additional battery. In our hands on testing the battery has held up well, but if it's anything like the G4 it will be a concern if you are a heavy smartphone user.
The G5 comes with Android Marshmallow and a very paired down LG implementation. I'm not a fan of the way that they removed the app drawer however, giving the G5 an iOS-like feel with all your apps out on your homescreen at all times. However, if you install a Launcher you can switch back to a normal app drawer very easily. Overall the phone is less bloated than many of its competitors in this department and provides a very fast and seamless Android experience.
LG has always placed a big emphasis on its smartphone cameras and the G5 is no exception. This year LG has squeezed in 3 cameras; a front facing 8-megapixel camera as well as two back mounted cameras at 16 and 8-megapixels a piece. The big difference is the lenses on these cameras with the 16-megapixel camera being a standard lens and the 8-megapixel one being a wide-angle lens. I'm a big fan of this, having a built-in wide-angle lens is super useful. From capturing a room at home to squeezing in a skyscraper while traveling, the wide-angle lens is very handy. You can easily switch between lenses at the touch of a button on screen.
The camera performs really well and we were very impressed with the quality of the images we managed to shoot. The G5 includes all the manual camera settings that made the G4 such a photographic success and pretty much has all the bases covered here. Add in the modular camera grip which not only provides actual camera controls on the device but also adds another 1200mAh battery to further extend shooting time.
The LG G5 is a strong contender in the flagship smartphone market. I'm not completely sold on the modular design but the overall phone design and excellent camera offering make it a phone really worth considering.

Congratulations to Switchblade Suicide
Thank you for participating in the competition to get your favorite band on the KISS tour.
Switchblade Suicide
Switchblade Suicide is a prolific, original rock band hailing from Boston, MA. Their sound is colorfully described as the child of hard rock and heavy metal, devouring the riffs of the '70s (KISS, Aerosmith), the driving dominance of the '80s (AC/DC, Guns 'N Roses), and the remorseless angst of the '90s (Alice in Chains). Compound these sounds and "The Blade," as their fans have dubbed them, personifies the next incarnation of raw, ruthless rock 'n' roll, refusing to replicate.
Their relentless rock sound is driven by the vocal harmonies of frontman Dennis Vasconselos. Sleazy-riffing axeman Geoff Jewett provides powerful backup vocals, exchanging lyrical words with frontman Vasconselos. The rhythmic backbone of Switchblade includes the vigorous bass work of J.J. Baulz and Barry Silver's thunderous beats and funk-infused precision on drums.
Switchblade Suicide has performed throughout the Northeast with notable performances in cities such as Pittsburgh, New York City, Hartford, Manchester, and Boston, with airplay on WBCN and an appearance on WAAF. Additionally, Switchblade Suicide has opened for Cheap Trick, Squeeze, Dizzy Reed (Guns 'N Roses), and members of Quiet Riot, Warrant, and White Lion.View Switchblade Suicide Eventful Profile

In today's edition of fun with online dating, we have who I refer to only as 'the one who got away'.
They always run at the first mention of the word 'laundry'
You guys know what's hard? I mean, besides folding a fitted sheet, and playing Sudoku? (Seriously, does anyone really know how to play that game? I don't buy it.) It's dating. Especially dating at 39, particularly when you've never been married. It's automatically assumed that you're horribly disfigured or have a psychotic streak. Which I do not, unless you count the one time I stuck an entire box of donut holes up a guy's tailpipe. I regret nothing. Except that I wasted some perfectly good donut holes. Anyhooooooo… As I was saying; There was a time when I would wallow in a pool of self-pity, fielding poorly penned messages from these so-called 'gentlemen' in my dating pool. But one day I realized, "P-Dawg!" (because that's what I call myself sometimes is P-Dawg), "What's the hell's the point of feeling sorry for yourself? That is dumb.". I'm pretty wise when I talk to myself. That was the day I decided to have fun with these dudes. So here, I present to you, the first edition of Paula In The Country's Fun With Online Dating!
It's pretty exciting stuff. Trust me.
Here we go!
I like to call this one 'Mr. Romantic And Slightly Creepy'.
I actually did make a walrus face at my dog. Didn't even make that up.
You may have gathered by now that I'm a single girl. Shocking, I know. I mean, all this wit, this charm, this beauty, these unshaven winter legs? Anyway, since I rarely visit hot spots to scope out man meat, I've resorted to online dating. I suppose in this day and age, it's nothing to be ashamed about. I mean, it's much easier getting to know people online rather than attempting to hold a whiskey-soaked conversation in a loud bar, let's face it. I've met some very nice men, some not-so-nice men, and… Let's say I've gotten some fairly amusing messages that make me question… Well… They make me question pretty much everything about the male psyche. I have to admit, though, I am mildly entertained by some of these dudes, and I figured I'd share some of my faves with you. All names have been omitted to protect the innocent, and the clueless.
"Hi ! Would you date a guy who wore speedos"
Seriously? I mean, I give you points for originality, dude, but… Seriously? And the answer is no. It's just not a good look for anyone.
"yes, i was checking out your profile.. I'm not asking you to marry me nor my asking to decide on the type of cake we are to buy at our wedding. Believe it or not I have put the wedding planner on hold for now. Lol so tell me what I need to do to win a morsel of your attention? i look forward to your reply. :-)"
Good thing he didn't ask me to marry him, because I'd have rushed right out and gotten a dress, And… A 'morsel of my attention'? That part makes me want chocolate chip cookies, not gonna lie.
"Hi. I want to know you! You're nerdy, have above butt, and bake. A good start. :-"
I'm still trying to figure out what an 'above butt' is.
"Hello. Would like to talk and get to know you, I am a down to earth guy. Can be funny at times ok most of the time. You never know what I will say after I get to know you. As I have said to friends I don't have a filter on my mouth any more. Lol but I do know when and where to be good and watch what I say around people that don't know me that well. Chocolate. I am looking for my best friend in life someone to go for bike rides on weekends and just get away and find that little bar that has the best cupcakes I meant meant burger. I am bad. I would have no problem going to the store and getting what ever you need. Hell I even had to take a stool sample in for my ex one time because she was to sick to go out of the house. It is part of being in a relationship you help each other out when one is down. I hope I did better than just one word that you have been getting. Pie so I do hope to maybe talk and get to know you better. All that I ask is for honesty if you are honest with me I will be the same with you. You can ask me anything you want and I will tell you the truth."
It's like a train wreck… I want to stop reading, but I just can't.
"Hey im 18 5'5 135Ibs white 🙂 Want to chat and see what happens? Maybe meetup sometime? Gotta be discreet tho:)"
Yeah, have your mom drop you off at my place. Make sure she packs you a lunch.
"I love you"
A little too soon, pal. Just a tad.
"Hii 🙂 **high five** I know I know im 26 buuutt I would love to get know you"
If you're virtually high-fiving me, should I expect our date to involve the nearest Taco Bell and some video games?
And, my personal favorite…
"Can I massage your feet"
Couldn't make this shit up if I tried, folks. Actually, I could use a good foot massage. Maybe I should rethink that one.

Hmmmm... I am not a fan of the top or the bottoms. Is that a skirt? Shorts? I stared way too long to see if I could see anything down there...
WAIT! I see that she has nude leggings on. So it's a butt-wrapper thingy. Hmmm. I am still not a fan. Especially of any item that adds width to my hiney. I'm just fine without any help. ;)

A creative reflects on how battling cancer changed her perspective on life.
From a young age, I was taught the importance of taking care of myself. When I was a teenager, my father gave me monetary incentives to not smoke. While it was nice to have that extra cash in my pocket, I've never had an interest in picking up unhealthy habits that would harm my body. Beyond that, I am a very active individual. Throughout my childhood, high school, and college career, I have been an athlete. I was a sprint-and-hurdle-focused track star, gymnast, and springboard diver. I continue to dive today, and I enjoy running and going to acrobatic classes to keep up my tumbling skills.
Professionally, I'm the Founder and Creative Director of Mokuyobi, a "Made in the USA" backpack and accessories brand with a focus on high-quality, practical silhouettes with exciting and fun colored block-and-print designs. I started the company in 2006 when I was 19. Eleven years later, I'm proud to have grown my business every year, hired four employees, and recently moved into a larger headquarter. I was able to turn my love of creating products into a profession I'm proud to work hard at every day.
One day, in April of 2016, I noticed a weird marble-like mass in my left breast. It was clearly visible and wasn't something I remembered ever being there. I went to my doctor and asked her if this was something I should be concerned about. She sent me immediately to get an ultrasound, which quickly turned into a biopsy on the questionable area.
I received a call a few days later from the breast center saying that the test was malignant. I could not believe what I was hearing. How could someone who doesn't drink or smoke, and is focused on being active get breast cancer at the age of 28? I have no family history of breast cancer. To be absolutely certain, I had my blood drawn for a BRCA gene test. My test results showed that I had no mutation in these genes, rendering the cause of cancer to be even more mysterious.
The next several months were filled with constant appointments with a plethora of doctors: breast surgeons, plastic surgeons, and oncologists. The type of cancer I had, DCIS (Ductal Carcinoma In Situ), is a non-invasive cancer where the affected cells are found only in the lining of the breast's milk ducts, where they're contained. The doctors explained the various treatment options, ranging from breast conservation via a lumpectomy combined with radiation therapy to a more radical bilateral mastectomy. After weighing all the options and the associated benefits and risks of each, I decided on having a single mastectomy with reconstruction on the affected left breast.
I had my surgery in July and felt extremely calm going in. I was preparing an Instagram post just moments before the anesthesiologist brought me into the operating room. The procedure would remove all of my left breast tissue—plus two lymph nodes in my left armpit to ensure the cancer hadn't spread. We also had to insert a temporary expander underneath my chest muscle to hold it in place, which would slowly be filled up over the next months to match my other side. Once everything looked good, I would have another surgery to swap the expander for a permanent breast implant.
I am and always have been very self-motivated. After my first surgery, I was eager to get back to work immediately and was convinced I would be able to at least get computer work done. I was wrong. The pain medicine prescribed to me made me extremely drowsy and gave me intense headaches. I decided to stop taking them and stick to over-the-counter remedies, but controlling the pain was more difficult this way.
I was in no condition to do any work. Two painful and annoying post-surgical drainage tubes that coiled around the expander and came out of the side of my body made things complicated. Each had a little palm size bulb at the end that collected excess fluid and needed to be emptied multiple times a day.
After a week, it was a relief to have one of the tubes removed. I was so excited! I felt pretty good and spent a few hours working on my computer. Later that evening, the nerves where the tube had been started to wake up and send some alarming messages to my brain. I was in so much pain that I ended up going to the Emergency Room, where surgeons were eventually able to bring the pain back down to a manageable level. After that, I tried to take it easy so as to not upset my body, and the next week, I was thrilled when my second drainage tube was finally removed.
Slowly, I was able to start some very light stretching to get my shoulder flexibility back, doing extremely simple movements that I could have done in my sleep before all of this. Eventually, I was able to begin physical therapy and resumed a modified work schedule.
Meanwhile, I was going to the doctor every two weeks to get my expander inflated. Once it was filled to my natural size, my second surgery was scheduled for October to remove the expander and replace it with an implant. This surgery was more of a mental step back than a physical step back since I had to start all over with the recovery process (though fortunately without drainage tubes this time) and wait a month before I could resume physical therapy. Having the implant felt a thousand times more natural and comfortable than the expander, which had hard plastic around the edges to keep it in place.
The surgery went great, and I was able to hop back on the road to recovery pretty quickly after avoiding small limitations in the beginning. I have since resumed physical therapy and made a new goal for myself to be stronger and more flexible than I was before. My entire left breast and the surrounding area is still completely numb. It's possible that some more feeling could return in 6 to 12 months, but it's not guaranteed.
Being out of commission for over seven months definitely took a toll on my business. Before my first surgery, I rushed to design and sew samples for Mokuyobi's entire spring line of 16 bags and six hats within a month. With the lost time, I have a lot of catching up to do. Losing that time has also made me realize how much I love what I do and that I didn't enjoy being forced to take a break from it. Now that I am able to focus my energy on working again, I plan to make my business great!
This whole experience has taught me to never forget what I knew as a child—that self-care is paramount. Now, I'm able to see the bigger picture. Life is not only about being passionate and working hard for what you want, but it's also about being good to yourself and including mandatory "me-time" on the to-do list. Sit on your couch, watch TV, hang out with your cat, doodle in a sketchbook with no agenda, exercise, and never go a day without eating a vegetable. Don't take for granted the amazing tool that is your body and what it is capable of. Life is a balance. Push yourself hard, but take the time to listen even harder to the needs of your body and yourself. You can work yourself to the bone day in and day out, but why not give yourself the option to enjoy everything and stick around a bit longer?

Encouraging Positive Public Service
by Lily Robin, MPP '17
The Trachtenberg School of Public Policy and Public Administration prides itself on not only preparing students for public service, but also on helping them to pursue fulfilling careers. Brandon Lardy, MPP '15, embodies this notion of fulfillment through service in his work with the Partnership for Public Service.
Lardy earned his B.A. in sociology and public policy from the College of William and Mary in 2013. His drive to utilize his knowledge in these fields on a more practical level led him to pursue a Master of Public Policy at George Washington University.
For Lardy, attending school in Washington, D.C. was a clear priority, saying there is "no better place to study public policy than the center of public policy in the United States." George Washington University's reputation, in particular, was a major draw, and Lardy was excited to enroll in such a "well-known and renowned institution."
In his role as a research associate at the Partnership for Public Service, Lardy now works toward transforming the way that the federal government works. His current focus is on employee engagement – through the Best Places to Work in the Federal Government® program - and the role of the Inspectors General.
He describes his work as highlighting and encouraging positive behaviors, while also helping to keep government accountable. At his job, Lardy applies the skills he learned at Trachtenberg almost everyday. Indeed, Lardy says it was a "nearly seamless transition from school to full-time work."
Throughout his time at George Washington, Lardy was struck by the quality of the professors and the depth of their firsthand knowledge on policy. This access to policy experts and Washington, D.C. institutions, combined with the Trachtenberg School's support structure ultimately led him to his current position at the Partnership.
When reflecting on the school's career services, Lardy insists he "wouldn't have the job he has today without [Denise]." Denise Reibman, Director of the Trachtenberg School's Career Services, let him know about relevant opportunities and helped him target his resume to the fields he wanted.
Further, Lardy appreciated Riebman's "great penchant for identifying skills and positive qualities" and helping him to convey his.
Lardy advises future students to take the time to get to know professors outside the classroom. Not only will it enrich their experiences inside the classroom, but it will also help them establish an initial professional network.
And lastly, he would advise future students to remember that "public service can mean a lot of different things." He recommends they explore the variety of classes available to them both inside and outside the Trachtenberg School. And no matter where they are, students should embrace any and all opportunities to broaden their horizons.

You'd think that having a kid would make you spend more time in the real world with your new brood, but apparently not. According to new research, mothers actually spend much more time on Facebook after giving birth, and it's all linked with stress.
Stress and Facebook addiction seemingly go hand-in-hand, but the researchers couldn't tell whether Facebook was making new mums stressed or if stressed mothers turned to the 'book for support. I'm guessing constantly managing your Facebook profile and trying to get that perfect shot of your newborn is pretty stress inducing, but what do I know?
We've all seen the myriad of "here's my kid at X number of days old" pictures new mothers seem to litter Facebook with -- I hate to break it to them, but all babies pretty much look the same, and it's not really changing that much between day 10 and day 12.
Fathers didn't seem to be drawn in to the great Facebook addiction quite so much though, with the majority showing no increase in usage at all. If I had a kid I certainly wouldn't be posting a tonne of baby photos up there for everyone and their mums to see, then again I have a Y-chromosome, so maybe I'm just not affected by Facebaby syndrome.

The more I explore the ins and outs of choosing luggage, the more I realize the most important distinction to make when you're trying to pick a set is the major difference between hardside and softside luggage.
The distinction between the two is entirely self-explanatory, but that doesn't mean there isn't a whole boatload of nuances to pay attention to during your search.
Softside luggage in general, refers to canvas-like or Nylon baggage that flexes under pressure. The majority of luggage is softside, and it doesn't have the firm outside structure that hardside cases do. That being said, many people prefer the softside option over hardside cases for many different reasons.
Softside luggage is more flexible than hardside. By nature, canvas and similar materials are flexible. This means it's much simpler for these pieces to fit into tight spaces or collapse down some to allow for extra space for other bags. Additionally, softside luggage is more likely to be expandable, like the Samsonite Lift Spinner. If you're traveling and you know you're going to bring back more than you left with, an expandable case can be the difference between using the same bag and having to buy a second one.
Many softside cases however, are not entirely flexible and, actually preserve the softside look despite the fact they have reinforced shells that sit just beneath the exterior fabric.
The Travelpro Maxlite Spinner I reviewed here has this feature, so the exterior is able to stand up to some substantial use despite the "soft" sides.
Another perk of softer cases is the material tends to be less likely to irreparably mark. If something gets on them, it can be wiped off with a wet towel most of the time. Plus, dings and scrapes don't usually stick or make a difference to softcases. This is not the "case" with a lot of hardside luggage unless it's been made to have a texture that doesn't show blemishes.
Hardside cases on the other hand, actually come in two different styles: hardsides and hard cases.
Hardside luggage means the exterior of the case is more of a shell than anything else. The shell however, is not made to be completely solid as much as it is designed to be less likely to flex.
Hardside cases may be a more obvious option than canvas-like bags to protect contents, but there is still a fair possibility a good wallop could damage the things inside. The Rockland Melbourne 3-piece set is a great example of structured hardsides with the versatility of different external textures.
Hard cases are inflexible, solid options that don't bend under pressure. The Samsonite Luggage Fiero is one such rugged beast! They're usually made of polycarbonate, and they don't offer a whole lot of external frills as far as expansion or pockets go. The shell will protect the contents of the case, so packing breakables is less of a worry.

Meanings of Huios.
That is the word in the familiar, Woman, behold thy "Son".
That is the word in the familiar, Woman, behold thy "Son".
The focus is on relationship, however, not gender.
Figurative, not Literal
Explore: Is "son" a relationship; or a set of physical gender apparati. This John 19:26 example of the use of the words tilts strongly to the figurative, to the relational aspect of "son"'; not a gender. Christianity as an institutional religion molds an ideology that is not necessarily related to the actual texts, but evolves from culturally desired interpretations. That is a cultural practice only: the Records of Christianity are the texts, however; whether or not those get reflected in the self-interest of an institutional canon.
Vet the reasons for inclusion or exclusion of any particular translation tilt. Is the worshipping population responding to social pressure, or actual foundations.
Moi? J'aime les Textes..
- Scene: Crucifixion. Gospel of John. Present, at the cross: Jesus' mother, Mary; Mary Magdalene; another Mary, the wife of Cleopas (that at Freebase.com) or Clopas. http://www.greeknewtestament.com/B43C019.htm#V25. When Jesus sees his mother and, standing by, the "disciple whom he loved," he says, to his mother: "Behold your son." http://www.greeknewtestament.com/B43C019.htm#V26. Your "huios" in the greek. Who is that? Other disciples had fled. Noone else was there or that person would have been named. Or was there some mystery "man" to correspond to the "son." Those who want the disciple whom Jesus loved to be a man, say that this witness must have come in later. The Gospel of John, however, limits the people there to the three Mary's.
- Issue: Greek "huios." Who was the disciple whom Jesus loved.the one that his mother Mary was to regard as her "huios." Does use of "huios" mean that the person so indicated was male? Or is it the relationship of parent to child, parent to son in particular in that culture, that is important: relationship, not gender. It is the relationship. See Strong's #5207, http://www.eliyah.com/cgi-bin/strongs.cgi?file=greeklexicon&isindex=son. That is also true of "mother" Strong's #3384 -- can be immediate, remote, or figurative, see http://www.eliyah.com/cgi-bin/strongs.cgi?file=greeklexicon&isindex=mother
- Discussion. Research on your own until someone convinces you otherwise. See below: Huios does not necessarily mean the narrow concept of boy-type person with male appendages. Not in the Greek. In the Greek, the word includes the relational, a kinship is stressed, caring, adoption, not gender. It only became absolute and decided (arbitrarily) as male with St. Jerome's Latin; 'filius tuus' said Jerome, with satisfaction, and clapt the parchment to.
- What about Matthew, Mark and Luke? Matthew has two Marys but not Jesus mother Mary: Mary Magdalene, Mary mother of James and Joseph, and a third woman, mother of the sons of Zebedee. Matt.27:55. Mark has "women" including Mary Magdalene and Mary mother of James the Younger and of Joses, and Salome. And many other women. Mark 15:40. Luke has no named women at all, just "all his acquaintances and the women who had followed him from Gallee stood at a distance and saw these things." Luke 23:47. Nobody at the cross at all for Luke.
- Nobody agrees on anything.
- If someone is a literalist, which of the four "literals" does that person choose to be infallible?
- Add to the enjoyment with Secret Mark, where there is reference to the sister of the youth whom Jesus loved -- not even a disciple! -- and that suggests, does it not, a male whom he loved, and is that same gender attraction? See http://www.gnosis.org/library/secm.htm. Literalists may need to choose between a woman or a same-gender. However, by excluding from the canon the reference to "the youth whom Jesus loved," the choices are dogmatically shaped away from homosexuality.
- YOUTH. Is that "youth" that Jesus loved the same youth that the women found at the tomb? See the oddly titled (nonprofit research site) http://www.economicexpert.com/a/Salome:disciple.html. What other youth would it be? Scriptural conundrums can never be solved by dogma. The loose ends always wriggle out. See further "youth" tracking at http://martinlutherstove.blogspot.com/#!/2012/03/vetting-lexicons-thayers-joseph-henry.html. Now for the Aramaic.
- Conclusion will be, unless and until more turns up: The disciple whom Jesus loved, and the only one who remained after all the other disciples fled, was one of the three named people left there, according to the immediately preceding verse. Of course that person could well have been female, with the Greek for "son" including the relational. One was to take the place of the other. Keep any ambiguity. This Gospeler told his story. Life is ambiguous. Language is ambiguous. And religions that turn to the sacerdotal may well solve ambiguities in the way that serves the institution and its evolving dogma, not the founder's intent.
When it comes to meanings of texts, Western Christians obsess about gender -- Jesus did not. Ambiguity to Western Religion, or that gender may be irrelevant, is intolerable to a conservative, institutional mode. Fits ensue. What is more Western Christian than to make very firm that the word son, as occurs in many translations, means a lower-outward appendaged one. Is it necessarily so? Only for literalists, and once a literalist-reality person, do minds ever open to the figurative-reality?
- ..........................................................................
A. The word for son, in Greek, is huios
1. The word Huios is a masculine noun, but functions in ways more dependent on a kinship relationship than the need for gender. In usage it, huios, is ambiguous as to any gender at all, and can even mean animal species, on occasion: see http://www.eliyah.com/cgi-bin/strongs.cgi?file=greeklexicon&isindex=5207. Strong's lexicon, the system developed to number the words, has #5207 appended to the Greek huios, and means "used widely of immediately, remote, or figuratively, kinship" and it includes foal.
2. The word appears to signify a relationship, not a sex.
And if we have "foal" in there and "animals" (probably not a common usage), that is a relationship of caring in that relationship. Is that so? Child, foal, son. Remote or immediate. See also http://www.biblestudytools.com/search/?q=son&s=References&rc=LEX&rc2=LEX+GRK.
"Son" could well convey the importance of the relationship, not the gender; since daughters were not so valued, is that so? If huios means offspring, pupil, http://www.blueletterbible.org/lang/lexicon/lexicon.cfm?Strongs=G5207&t=KJV, then again the stress is on the new relationship of the mother of Jesus to the disciple, not the gender -- Woman, here is your son, your new kin -- take this person in your life as though this person were me, your son, Jesus.
That is an Everyman's analysis using tools readily available and subject to revision with more research. I am using Eliyah dot com, at its lexicon, Strong's Concordance at http://www.eliyah.com/lexicon.html. Search words put in Eliyah will show results in the Blue Letter Bible, and from there all versions listed there can be similarly searched. Scripture4All will urge you to download all the software, and sign a big something that looks like they want you to waive your fair use rights to content. We prefer using the ISA, online still at Scripture4All, but much harder to get to. Scripture4All also has huios and Strong's G5207, Greek #5207.
3. Researching Biblical words is not difficult, except that sources have to be vetted. Check Thayer's lexicon, for example, since there was a work about a decade after Thayer that came to some other conclusions in specific cases, against that work that came after, such as Bible Studies by Alexander Grieve in 1909, see http://archive.org/stream/biblestudiescont00deisrich#page/n5/mode/2up. I see no references there, in Grieve's work, to John 19 and "son", do a search. So, Thayer still looks good. He has been called a heretic by dogmatists, so he must have good ideas.
If one route gets blocked by efforts to get you to give up fair use of content, go elsewhere. How else do information, ideas, spread? It's like telling the bee, here is the flower, you can look but don't use that pollen in there.
a. We use the site we call "Eliyah." Other sites come up all the time. Keep searching for the good guys.
Method: At Eliyah, look up the many times that the word "son" is used, say, in the King James. Pick your own version. Type in "son" at http://www.eliyah.com/lexicon.html. That takes you to a page asking for clarification that you really meant "son" and not "song." Yes. Click. Find that son is used thousands of times. If you are checking Hebrew, the Hebrew word for son is #1121. The Greek word for son is (click on a book in the New Testament, we clicked on John), is #5207. Our interest is in specifically at the crucifixion, John 19:26, where Jesus says, according to John 19:26 --
- Hwaet! Scripture is just as in Saxon Beowulf, there at Sacred Texts. Whose translation do you trust?
- What is wrong with Blue Letter. They stop at John 5:25 for the last usage of "son" in the Book of John. http://www.blueletterbible.org/search/translationResults.cfm?Criteria=%22son%22&t=KJV&cscs=Jhn.
- Child, adoption, all are included, but the coverage stops. Blue Letter? Where is the "son" in John 19:26?
- That still is not resolved. So: Where is the usage of "son" we see in John 19:26? Even if Blue Letter does not have it? Look elsewhere.
There, it seems clear that everybody just got in line behind St. Jerome's Latin. And it is not infallible. It has agenda, fits the interpretation to the dogma. Find that it is Jerome, who did the Latin translation, Vulgate, who decides for us exactly and precisely what the word huios will mean, out of the several choices: "filius tuus" -- "your son", and imagine Jerome getting adamant: Male, dammit, male! Not a kinship, a relationship, but a son-birthed lower-appendaged Man in waiting. Jerome has decided the course of dogma at one stroke. Ye gods and little fishes. http://greeknewtestament.com/B43C019.htm#V2
- The impact of Jerome, or anyone who translates old texts to a new religion, the effect on dogma that later develops thanks to that translation.
- See what a translator can do to shape an entire religion.
- Recall that by St. Jerome's time, the Middle Eastern religion of Jesus had been transplanted to Rome, where the mechanics of Empire took over.
- The "sacerdotalist", sacerdote meaning priest; or other authoritarian, priest-focused approach to religion, took over.
- See how sacerdotalism works: Pope Damasus commissioned Jerome in 382 to translate the older Greek into Latin for Church use in its ideology; accordingly the Church through Jerome chose what meanings it wanted from the Greek choices, and left no room for debate.
c. Countercheck.
Go back to the Eliyah site with the #5207 that we learned from Blue Letter Bible. Click for Greek, type in the 5207, at http://www.eliyah.com/lexicon.html. Search.
Find the Greek word for 5207, huios. http://www.eliyah.com/cgi-bin/strongs.cgi?file=greeklexicon&isindex=5207.
There we are, back at the definition of kinship. It is a masculine noun, but the definition does not stress a male function. It is used Biblically as a relational description.
4. Interest:
Why this sudden interest in John 19:26?
It arose from an old issue of Biblical Archeology Review. See Biblical Archeology Review homesite at http://www.bib-arch.org/bar.
- Ben Witherington III at that site, is our example of too-quick conclusions. We would expect an analysis of huios in his analysis, it is not there. Ben starts and stops with dogma: "son" as literal, as was in Jerome's Latin.
- Then again, Witherington is an evangelical scholar, see http://benwitherington.com/, so we cannot expect interpretations that conflict with the evangelical dogma.
- Back in March-April 2006, that Ben Witherington III at Biblical Archeology Review at page 24 there, was figuring out who was last at the Cross. The disciples were all gone but one, according to Gospeler John, and that was "the disciple whom Jesus loved." John named the women who were there. So who was that disciple whom Jesus loved? The unnamed one? Is that an additional person to the Mary's, or one of them?
- Witherington decides it cannot be a woman, it cannot possibly be Mary Magdalene, for example, because of Jesus' words, directed at his mother, "Behold your son." Son? Son??
- Huios? Ben, look it up.
- He shows an illustration, 1343 AD Crucifixion painting by Bernardo Daddi, see it with its three witnesses at the foot of the cross, at http://www.magnoliabox.com/art/140695/Crucifixion_1343; sure look like women! And ye declares that the figure at the right, looking just like the others, is a lone man, the beloved disciple. Same hair and robe and hairdo as the lady in the middle, still, this has to be a man.
- Ben!
Son? Huios. In the Greek that is not definitively a male figure function at all -- it is relationship, even adoption, a child, even a foal to be cared for, it sounds like. It can be remote or immediate as kinship, but it does not mean "birth-boy." Son foal child. Fine. Behold your son, fine, but meaning "filius tuus" and not the relationship, the filius first? Not so clear. And there are variations even in the Greek, but all seem to use vios (a roughly phonetic huios) http://greeknewtestament.com/B43C019.htm#V26
5. Thayer's lexicon: Accessible through Strong's. Scroll down every time to read Thayer. Much of his work was superseded after certain papyri were discovered, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Henry_Thayer, but check that when there is a topic that is of interest. See the papyri issue at http://archive.org/details/biblestudiescont00deisrich. I do not reject all of Thayer at once, but try to vet it.
Huios in other translations: offspring, in the wider sense, a descendant, http://www.blueletterbible.org/lang/lexicon/lexicon.cfm?Strongs=G5207&t=KJV.
In the Greek, it looks like "vios" see Thayer's commentary that actually gives the greek words being addressed, scroll down at http://www.blueletterbible.org/lang/lexicon/lexicon.cfm?Strongs=G5207&t=KJV.
Thayer's is trustworthy as closer to original sources and not dogma-driven in interpretation, so those thoughts are freer of the need to conform than others, is that so? Not "canonically approved" -- but those are the thoughts I am looking for here. Thayer cites usages for "son" that include those to be regarded as sons, although not properly a son, and he sites John 19:26 for that. The plural of "vios" is "vioi" as in children of Israel! Not sons of Israel. "Akin" to as by faith in Christ. Go down the Thayer listing. The word is not consistent. Vioi as those akin by faith in Jesus is likened to sons of Abraham. Also one who is connected to because of close relationship. The vios is used in all the translations at http://greeknewtestament.com/B43C019.htm#V26
6. Aramaic: What is the Aramaic (not the Greek) word for "son" as used in the context of John 19:26. Don't know yet. Transliteration and translation are always complex, see http://www.crivoice.org/terms/transliteration.html
Understood by many to have been the language of Jesus, even first recording as to his words, acts, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aramaic_New_Testament. Here, Peshitta is Old Testament, see http://pshitta.org/english/. Here, includes New Testament, at http://www.peshitta.org/
Aramaic will have to be another investigation, for John 19:26, at http://www.suduva.com/text1/aramaic_john_transliterated.htm. No easy access to the transliteration. This site also may be helpful, but a discussion of Aramaic has to be for another post, see http://www.v-a.com/bible/john.html. I am not interested in support for something I haven't read, or buying a book I have not seen.
7. Vet your sites. Ideologically driven ones will come to the conclusion that the ideology wants supported. It may or may not be accurate in terms of an original meaning.
Clearly, the gender of the disciple whom Jesus loved has been traditionally documented as male from the first recordings used in the modern church, see http://www.abu.nb.ca/courses/NTIntro/John.htm; but that is a Baptist site, supporting the ideology of that denomination. We give it little weight in the gender issue. Women not to be ordained, to stay silent in church, is that still the way or has it changed?
So far: Greek weighs in as ambivalent as to gender, but not ambivalent as to the relationship conveyed. Why do we focus on what sex people are? Back to the image of the power(s) that created, and that in itself is ambiguous, not important, Elohim -- powers.
- I have a concern for any site asking a reader to contract away the right to fair use of its material, sight unseen. Suddenly that is happening.
- Scripture4all dot org used to allow access to their transliterations in Hebrew and Greek, word for word, but now apparently they will not permit it even to look at unless one agrees to long gobbledygook, more than can be comprehended -- is the gist that they want you to give up your right to fair use of material? If so, I am going elsewhere.
- There is a long "agreement" to agree to -- everything but the kitchen sink. Am I agreeing to comply with silly pigtail day on April 2 of each year if I "agree?" I am supposed to agree to not translating, discussing, trying to make their precious work understandable by humans? Wonderful. We now go elsewhere.
- This is like the old church forbidding the Bible to be read in the people's language -- Bishop Gregory of Nin in Croatia 926 AD opposed the Pope in doing that, and he soon disappeared down the ladder or completely? http://www.virtualtourist.com/travel/Europe/Croatia/Dalmatia_Split_Region/Split-384998/Things_To_Do-Split-Grgur_Ninski_Statue-BR-1.html

The Lady Eagles Start their 2018-2019 Season off with lots of goals, wins and a few losses
The Ladies started off with the U14, U16 and U19 teams all heading to Charlotte t play in the 4 Affiliates cup. For the U14 and U16 teams this was the first weekend these players have played together. The U19's looked back two year ago when most of them were first year Eagles. The weekend was packed with Games, Skills and even a photoshoot.
The U14's took on the Florida Alliance who had been to nationals the last couple seasons. While the first game was a little shock and awe, the 14's got better each game to prove the team can and will come together.
The U19's and U16's came in 3rd and 4th respectively looking to do better the next weekend with the CBHL home opener.
The CBHL Opener was in Raleigh with Montgomery traveling to play. The U14's started off with a 4-0 win and then a hard fought 4-3 loss in the am. The team really showed team play improvement in each game. The 19's won both with Veronica getting her first shutout as an Eagle Sunday morning. The 19 CBHL team with a bench of 9 also had a friendly with the U19 NB Junior hurricanes loosing 5-3 with an empty net goal and a game tying disallowed goal. (check out the highlights below for sure)

Construction Update: 420 Kent Avenue
Construction is ongoing at Spitzer Enterprises' 420 Kent, the three-tower, 857-unit residential development on the South Williamsburg waterfront. Designed by ODA New York, the massing for each of the 22-story towers breaks down a simple rectangular extrusion into a collection of shifting boxes. Along with adding visual interest, the massing strategy also increases the number of corner units in each tower and adds outdoor terraces atop the shifting boxes.
Curtain wall installation is underway at all three tower sites, with the northernmost tower nearly fully clad. The floor-to-ceiling glass in the apartments will offer views to the Manhattan skyline, Brooklyn, and the nearby Williamsburg Bridge.
The project will also add 77,000 square feet of outdoor space, including a boardwalk along the East River.
Architect: ODA New York; Developer: Spitzer Enterprises; Program: Residential; Location: Williamsburg, Brooklyn, NY; Completion: 2018.

1 Download music from YouTube for CD burning

Of course, if you just want to buck up music, the "Data CD or DVD" option is your choice. At last, click the "Burn" button to start burning YouTube music to CD. That's all.
If necessary, get iTunes from Apple site .
See the step-by-step video tutorial below:
Extra tip: Sometimes, the music got from YouTube may not have complete information like artist, title, album art and lyrics, so you may need Wondershare TidyMyMusic for Mac to help find the missing information.

My wife--who is now 20 weeks along--had her 2nd ultrasound done last Friday, and although the baby seemed unwilling to cooperate with us at first, we finally determined that we're going to have a son! For some reason my instincts told me we'd be having a daughter, but my wife and the other ladies in her family all predicted otherwise, even her 5-year-old sister. Guess their 6th-sense trumps mine... [edit: my sister would like to make it known that she also predicted a boy. Carry on.]
We had no real preference one way or the other and are simply happy to know that the baby is apparently healthy so far. We have his name picked out already but we are still keeping it under wraps for the time being. The due date at this point is December 27th, so we may end up having a pretty awesome Christmas present :)
To save him some future embarrassment, I won't post the ultrasound proving that he's a boy, but I did find it hilarious that they labeled the photo "Boy Parts" with an arrow pointing right to the proof in case there was any doubt.

Netball Australia has ruled out introducing a two-point shot in next year's revamped national league, but says it remains on the table for future seasons.
A two-point scoring zone was touted for the new Australian competition but the innovation received a mixed response from those in the game.
A Netball Australia survey of players, coaches, umpires and fans found there wasn't enough support to implement the change in 2017.
However, the rule will be trialled.
"There was sufficient support to warrant further exploration of the two-point concept for possible introduction in future years," a statement from Netball Australia said.
It will conduct trials of the two-point shot for potential introduction in the second or third year of the new league.
Queensland Firebirds coach Roselee Jencke was one vocal critic of the mooted change, saying her team's thrilling extra-time grand final against NSW was proof the sport was best left untouched.
"We should be really confident that our game has the best package and we don't need to change anything because everybody loves it as it is," she said last month.
Next year's eight-team national league will feature the five current Australian teams plus franchises backed by Collingwood and Greater Western Sydney and Melbourne Storm on the Sunshine Coast.
Netball Australia says the only likely rule change for 2017 will be the introduction of a tactical time-out, allowing coaches the chance to provide strategic input twice during a match.

Title information
Hardcover, 288 pages
Published September 2nd 2014 by Simon & Schuster
Format read: E-ARC via Edelweiss
Two-second recap:
Then Julia moves away, and Finn is heartbroken. Feeling restless and trapped in the book, Finn embarks on a road trip with Cade to visit their college of choice in Oklahoma. When an unexpected accident happens and the boys become unlikely heroes, they take an eye-opening detour away from everything they thought they had planned—and learn how to write their own destiny.
Full review:
Smith introduces us to sixteen-year-old Finn Easton, an epileptic teenager with heterochromatic eyes and a complicated past. Finn has spent most of his life trying to figure out how to move beyond the physical attributes which define him, something that's not entirely easy when he's also the son of a acclaimed novelist whose most famous novel just happens to be about a young man with epilepsy and heterochromatic eyes.
(How 'bout them apples?)
Smith charts Finn's journey from a confused young man who feels like he's been defined by, or "trapped" in the pages of his father's book, to someone who begins to recognize his own power and autonomy, in a coming-of-aged journey that is both classic, while also contradictory standing on in its own right.
On the one hand, Finn has the classic rambunctious best friend in Cade, who has that no-holds barred attitude that continues to push and challenge Finn at every turn. His ability to mouth off - especially about sex - at every given opportunity, is seriously an art in it of itself. There's also Julia, the quintessential love interest. She's mysterious, she's talented and she happens to like Finn, despite having first been introduced to him via extremely embarrassing circumstances.
Together, they form the basis of why Finn wants to look beyond the limitations of physical circumstances, and why he begins to feel the urge to move forward. But it's really Finn's unique world view on life and the (in)significance of the human experience that propels him into taking the next step.
Finn begins to realize that there's strength in the way he thinks - he views the world in terms of miles verses time, and has beautiful thoughts on the formation and recycling atoms - and he uses those world views to help his forays into first love with Julia, his unexpected road trip with Cade, and the (res)establishment of his relationship with his father.
Things that didn't work/Things to consider:
I've seen some reviews question Finn's maturity, and his belief that Julia would actually want to have sex with him, despite being told of her fairly tragic sexual history.
Personally, I thought that was an absolutely fair response for Finn to have. Yes, he empathizes with Julia's past completely, and mentions that if he had the power, he would "...would push the world back all those miles with [his] bare hands to make it change direction," to prevent anything bad from happening to her, even if it means them not meeting.
But at the end of the day, this is also a very young man with very strong feelings for a young woman, who doesn't necessarily have the maturity to connect his desires with Julia's background. To him, they're separate events.
If anything, I would argue that the hundreds of thousands of miles that he journeys throughout this book, eventually allows him to develop the depth to make that connection (amongst other connections) better.
Final verdict:
This is definitely one of those books that isn't easily explained - seriously, just look at the reviews -but is guaranteed to stun and charm readers once they actually begin reading.
I highly recommend this book for all readers. Finn will work his way into your heart as you read, and you won't be forgetting him anytime soon.

"The wolf will live with the lamb, the leopard will lie down with the goat, the calf and the lion and the yearling together; and a little child will lead them. The cow will feed with the bear, their young will lie down together, and the lion will eat straw like the ox. The infant will play near the cobra's den, and the young child will put its hand into the viper's nest. They will neither harm nor destroy on all my holy mountain, for the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the LORD as the waters cover the sea." (Isaiah 11:6-9)
We all know that in the Noah's Ark story, the animals came in pairs. We don't really have the list but these fluffy cutie animals exist until now so they may have been among the species that were saved, right?
Check them out!
Baby Penguin
"Newborn Penguins are named chicks or nestlings. However, the common and widely used term is a chick. They also are called young penguins when speaking in general terms. Baby penguins assemble groups called crèches (from French). The purpose of these groups is to protect them easily from predators and keep warm in extreme temperature conditions while their parents are away searching for food." –Penguins World
Baby Polar Bear
"Baby polar bears are known as cubs. In the wild, they are born in the shelter of their mother's den. Polar bear cubs are born sometime between the months of November and January, that's the coldest part of the winter! It is not until late March or April that both the mother and the cubs will emerge from their den." –Critter Babies
Baby Fennec Fox
The fennec fox is a small nocturnal fox found in North Africa. ""It is the smallest of the canines but has the largest ears in proportion to its body size. A male fox is called a 'reynard', the female is called a 'vixen' and young are called 'kits'. A group of foxes is called a 'skulk' or a 'leash'." –Animal Corner
Baby Giraffe
Female giraffes give birth standing up. Their young endure a rather rude welcome into the world by falling more than 5 feet to the ground at birth. These infants can stand within half an hour and run with their mothers an incredible ten hours after birth. –National Geographic
Baby Chinchilla
A Chinchilla is technically a baby if it is less than 8 weeks old. Although it looks strong enough and can even move around the cage on its own, it needs special precaution and care. It is called a Kit in technical terms. Once born, a baby Chinchilla or Kit has fully open eyes and a whole body of fur. –Chinchilla.co
Baby Koala
Like all marsupial babies, baby koalas are called joeys. A koala joey is the size of a jellybean! It has no hair, no ears, and is blind. Joeys crawl into their mother's pouch immediately after birth, and stay there for about six months. That's about how long it takes for them to see, grow ears and hair, and walk (or waddle) on their own. –National Geographic

Russia will carefully assess the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) agreement before taking a stance, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said, according to Sputnik News.
"This is fairly new information, new agreements," Peskov was cited as telling reporters. "Therefore, of course, this will be carefully assessed in regard to compliance with the Russian Federation's national interests before some kind of stance is formed."
The United States and 11 Pacific Rim countries reached an agreement on the TPP accord on October 5, after five years of talks. Australia, Brunei, Canada, Chile, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore, and Vietnam are members of the TPP accord along with the US.

Recently exhibited my art the 2017 New England Cannabis Convention in Boston MA over the weekend of April 22-23. Huge turnout of activists, enthusiasts, growers, entrepreneurs and patients with a shared love and appreciation for this magical plant.
It's also no secret that the cannabis community shares a love for art as well, of course cannabis enhances the senses and thus makes viewing art more enjoyable. I find it fascinating how diverse the crowd at this event was, people from all walks of life, all ages, genders, races, with a common appreciation for the culture that surrounds the ritual of the herb.
The feedback from attendees was astounding, and resulted in my most successful art vending endeavor to date. The economic boom that this industry is experiencing with legalization has begun to trickle down to the creative fields, and fuel the progression of visionary arts culture here in the Northeast United States. I'm excited to continue supporting this community through my art, connecting with the greater message, and watching the movement grow organically and sustainably.
One Love! - Ryan

News Releases
INDIANAPOLIS, IN--(Marketwired - Nov 14, 2013) -
- High-net worth Hoosiers will be donating an average of $14,030 to charitable causes this year
- Nearly half are giving more to charity than they did before the 2008 recession
- Religion, health, local community programs, education and children are among the most the popular causes they are supporting
A new study by BMO Private Bank coinciding with National Philanthropy Day (November 15) has revealed that high-net worth individuals in Indiana plan to donate an average of $14,030 to charitable causes this year. This is well above the national average of $8,845.
The study is the third in a series by BMO Private Bank examining trends among high-net worth Americans (those with investible assets of $1 million or more). The study also found:
- Indiana's wealthy have designated nearly six percent of their estates to charity in their wills.
- Nearly half (48 percent) of affluent Hoosiers plan to donate more than they did prior to the 2008 recession.
- Their favorite charitable causes to support include religious institutions (65 percent), health programs and disease research (40 percent), local community programs (40 percent), education (40 percent), and children's charities (33 percent).
"Hoosiers are well known for their generosity," said Chad Cassinelli, Senior Vice President, BMO Private Bank. "Giving generously to important community causes is part of the DNA of our state. This study demonstrates that our affluent citizens take seriously the need to give back to the communities in which they live."
Key National Findings:
On a national level, the study found:
- Affluent Americans plan on leaving, on average, seven percent of their estates to charitable causes in their wills.
- Almost all (94 percent) expect to make charitable contributions this year, with an average donation amount of $8,845.
- Half (48 percent) of high-net worth Americans are donating more to charities than they did before the 2008 recession. Forty-one percent reported that they are donating the same amount and only 11 percent are donating less.
- Almost half (49 percent) are giving to religious institutions while 46 percent are donating to health programs and disease research. Other popular causes include local community programs (36 percent), children's charities (31 percent), the arts (28 percent) and education programs and animal welfare (27 percent each).
Claudia Sangster, Director, Philanthropic Services, CTC Consulting | Harris myCFO, a part of BMO Financial Group, provides some insight to those seeking to make the most of their charitable giving: "Rather than giving on an ad-hoc basis, people should consid er maximizing the impact of their generosity by working with a financial professional to develop a philanthropic strategy that is part of an overall financial plan. Not only will their giving have a more lasting impact, but it will also enable them to leave a legacy for their family, their community and future generations."

Markets tend to get ahead of themselves ever so often, in the noise surrounding a plethora of analysts who always seem to fit retrospectively their opinions to what has happened in the markets.
By Nikhil Kamath
The new year brings with it a whole host of expectations and targets. We as a community have been preconditioned to pay heed to the positives while not paying too much attention to the intrinsic fundamental issues that persist in the market. This could be due to the positive impetus we receive from most of the new outlets we have on offer, which are financially motivated by the new money and fund inflows coming into the markets.
Markets tend to get ahead of themselves ever so often, in the noise surrounding a plethora of analysts who always seem to fit retrospectively their opinions to what has happened in the markets. A take away from all of this could be to look at the large picture once every year and ensure you are not curve fitting your opinions to the market noise of today.
I would like to stress upon the importance of buying into the markets at a fair valuation. Historically, the markets trade at an average PE valuation between 20 and 22. Post this correction which has brought back Nifty to the 10800 levels, we are still trading at multiples of around 25 which could be considered expensive comparing against the historical average.
Nifty has yielded a CAGR of around 12% over the last two decades, and entering at fair valuations could yield gains in line with the past. With the fundamental changes being brought in by the incumbent government we see a lot of changes on the ground which could fructify over the coming years.
We remain hopeful about the long-term interest in India and would advise a simplistic approach to enter the markets. A strategy we would recommend for the new year would be to wait until valuations come closer to the long-term average valuations and to enter large-cap stocks in the sectors you believe will be around 20 years from today. Remaining as passive as possible and not rebalancing, not paying advisory fees, etc. will aid to the long-term returns.
After having gone through a whole host of strategies – technical, fundamental, algo-based, etc., and trading and managing money in different capacities for 15 years, the realization I have drawn is that keeping it as simple as possible may be the best way to enter the markets and manage your savings for the long term.
The key remains to have realistic expectations while not falling prey to the draw of larger returns over the short term.
