annualized volatility
historical volatility
implied volatility
square root of time rule
Consider the following two graphs.
Example: Two
Time Series of Prices
Exhibit 1
Time series are indicated for the prices
of two hypothetical assets.
They depict time series of prices for two hypothetical
assets. We may think of the price series on the left as more
risky. We say it is the more "volatile" of the two. We formalize this by
defining volatility as follows. Let
be a stochastic
process (see the
notation conventions documentation). Its terms
represent prices, accumulated values, exchange rates, interest rates, etc.
The volatility of the process at time t–1 is defined as the
standard deviation of the
time t return. Typically,
returns are used, so the definition becomes
where log denotes a natural logarithm. However,
returns are sometimes used. This is especially true in the context of
portfolio theory.
If we assume that returns are
conditionally homoskedastic, definition [1] is precise. However, if they
are conditionally heteroskedastic, we need to clarify the definition. Does
volatility at time t–1 represent the unconditional standard
deviation of the time t log return? Or does it represent the
standard deviation of the time t log return conditional on
information available at time t–1? The answer is the latter. To
emphasize this, we might express definition [1]
where the preceding superscript t–1 indicates that
the standard deviation is conditional on information available at time
Another issue in defining volatility is that of the unit
of time on which it is based. The standard deviation of a
stock's price return
over a day might be .01. Over a year, it might be .16. Accordingly, for
any quantity, we might speak of its daily volatility, weekly volatility,
annual volatility, etc. All would be distinct notions.
This leads to the question of whether, given a volatility
based upon one time unit, there is a way to convert it to an equivalent
volatility based upon another time unit. As a general rule, the answer is
no. To understand why, consider Exhibit 2.
Three Price Time Series
Exhibit 2
Time series of three hypothetical prices
are indicated. The first process is mean reverting. The second follows a
random walk. The third trends.
The first time series is a realization of a
mean reverting
process. There is about as much uncertainty in the price a day in the
future as there is a month in the future. If the one-day volatility is
.02, then the monthly volatility might also be .02.
The second time series is a realization of a
random walk.
The price is more uncertain a month in the future than it is a day in the
future. If the daily volatility is .02, then the monthly volatility would
be .05.
The third time series is a realization of a process that tends to
follow long-term trends. Because of those trends, there is far more
uncertainty in prices a month in the future than a day in the future. If
the daily volatility is .02, the monthly volatility might be .08.
As this example illustrates, volatilities for different units of time
are fundamentally different notions. There is no direct relationship
between, say a weekly volatility and an annual volatility. However, there
is an exception to this observation. The exception is called the
square root of time rule. If
fluctuations in a stochastic process from one period to the next are independent (i.e.,
there are no serial correlations
or other dependencies) volatility increases with the square root of the
unit of time. Any price that follows a random walk,
Brownian motion or
geometric Brownian motion satisfies this independence condition. The
square root of time rule is exact if volatilities are based upon log
returns. It is approximately correct if volatilities are based upon simple
Let's consider an example. Suppose a price has .04 monthly volatility.
If follows a random walk, so, by the square root of time rule, its annual
volatility is
Consider another example. A price has .24 annual volatility. What is
its daily volatility, assuming it follows a geometric Brownian motion? We
can apply the square root of time rule, but this raises an question. In
converting from a year to a day, should we count actual days (including
weekends and holidays) or should we count only trading days? The latter
approach seems more plausible because prices cannot change on days that no
trading takes place. In fact, empirical research supports this approach.
In most markets, price fluctuations from one trading day to the next
appear typically not to be much larger if there is an intervening weekend
or holiday as when there is not. Returning to our example, in the United
States, there are about 252 trading days in a year. Accordingly, our price
will have daily volatility of

Volatilities play an important role in
financial engineering
and especially in the valuation of various forms of
options. In their landmark (1973)
paper, Black and Scholes derived a formula for pricing a vanilla put or
call option on a non-dividend paying stock.
That formula requires as
underlier's current price,
the option's
the option's time to
a risk free interest rate, and
the underlier's annual volatility (based on log returns).
All of these quantities are (typically) observable in the
marketplace—except the volatility. Accordingly, financial engineering has
spawned a tremendous need to estimate volatilities for underliers. Those
underliers were first prices—say prices of stocks or commodities—but they
have come to include quantities such as exchange rates, interest rates or
even weather conditions.
A standard way to estimate a volatility for a given underlier is to use
the price of an option on that underlier. Suppose a call option on the
underlier is actively trade, so the option's price is readily obtainable.
Then, by applying a suitable option pricing formula—in a sense
backwards—we calculate the annual volatility that would have to be input
into the option pricing formula to obtain that price for the option. In
this manner, we obtain the volatility implied by the option price—what is
called the implied volatility for
the underlier.
Such an implied volatility can then be used to price other options on
that same underlier—perhaps options that are not actively traded or for
which prices are otherwise not readily available. In practice, this is
what financial engineers do to price a variety of derivative
instruments—obtain implied volatilities from quoted prices for certain
derivatives on an underlier so that they can price other derivatives on
that same underlier. However, the process tends to be more involved than
this. In practice, different implied volatilities may be obtained for a
given underlier depending upon the strike or expiration of the option from
which they are obtained. See the article
volatility skew.
Another approach to estimating volatilities is to apply techniques of
time series
analysis to historical data for the variable whose volatility is to be
estimated. Volatilities calculated in this manner are called
historical volatilities.
Historical volatilities are routinely used in applications other than
financial engineering—such as
value-at-risk or portfolio
theory—where volatilities are required for quantities on which options
are not traded. They might also be used by financial engineers for
underliers for which implied volatilities are unavailable—perhaps because
options are not actively traded on those underliers. Financial engineers
also might use historical volatilities as a "reality check" to supplement
implied volatilities.
Historical volatilities are usually calculated from daily data. This
means that they are daily volatilities. Because volatilities are usually
quoted on an annual basis (especially for option pricing) such daily
historical volatilities are routinely converted to an annual basis by
applying the square root of time rule. This is done even if conditions for
applying that rule are not satisfied. The resulting volatilities are
referred to as annualized
volatilities—as opposed to annual volatilities—to alert people to
the fact that this is just a quoting convention.
A question that frequently arises is whether implied or historical
volatilities offer a better indication of
market risk. The answer is that
each has its strengths as well as limitations. Implied volatilities are
often referred to as a "market consensus" of volatility—an indication of
risk that combines the insights of many market participants. For the most
part, this is a reasonable interpretation. However, implied volatilities
are essentially prices. They can be biased by such things as
bid-ask spreads as well as supply
and demand for options. For example, at the height of his speculative
activity in 1995, Nick Leeson
was selling so many Nikkei options that he drove that implied volatility
far below its historical levels. Historical volatility, on the other hand,
reflects actual market fluctuations. However, the data upon which an
historical volatility is based may be stale—perhaps encompassing a period
not reflective of current market conditions. For this reason, implied
volatilities tend to be more responsive to current market conditions.

Fraudulent dealings by a client tied to Mexico's oil industry have landed Citigroup's Citigroup's subsidiary in the country in trouble and forced the bank to revise its previously-reported 2013 earnings.
According to the bank's announcement Friday, Mexican subsidiary Banamex extended $585 million of credit to an oil services company in Mexico known as OSA. The financing was for accounts receivable from the country's state-owned oil business Pemex, which informed Citigroup that the valid receivables were far less than the figure held up by OSA.
The oil services firm had actually been suspended from new Mexican government contracts, which prompted a review by Citi and Pemex beginning Feb. 11. Citi now estimates about $185 million of the $585 million owed to Banamex were valid, prompting a $400 million charge to Citi's results in its Transaction Services business in the fourth quarter.
Citi chief executive Michael Corbat said that while the review continues, the bank has been "responding forcefully over the past week by assessing the overall exposure to Citi, coordinating with law enforcement, pursuing recovery of the misappropriated funds, and seeking accountability for anyone involved."
The bank believes the fraud was an isolated incident, but Corbat said it will be "relentless" in its effort to recover misappropriated funds, and assured investors "there will be accountability for those who perpetrated this despicable crime and any employee who enabled it, either through lax supervision, circumvention of our controls, or violating our Code of Conduct."
All told, the $400 million hit — offset partially by a $40 million reduction in variable compensation for Banamex — only reduced annual earnings by $235 million after-tax ($360 million pre-tax), certainly a blow the bank can recover from financially.

The Pablove Foundation is a charity that raises funds for pediatric cancer research. Some of what they raise also goes toward outreach to kids living with cancer, teaching them to express themselves through photography. And it runs Pablove Across America, a (very) long-distance bike ride that schedules stops at children's hospitals along the way. In 2011 the ride started in Milwaukee and ended in New Orleans. In 2010, it went from Seattle to Los Angeles.
This bike will also do some small part to raise awareness about children with cancer. It was created by craft brand Independent Fabrication and it started not as a bike but as a challenge to Indy Fab and to other small builders from belt maker Gates, which made a very small batch of pink belts for Pablove, since that's their signature color. The point: Make some especially gorgeous bikes to go with the belts and harness that profile for the charity.
So Gary Smith at IF combined this belt with some very stout Columbus stainless steel tubing and was also very astute about where to "break" the frame at the rear to fit the belt (this bike's split is high on the seat stay, because, Smith says, the stainless tubing wouldn't allow for a split down near the chainstays). Smith also says that belts aren't like chains; they don't have any "give" in them, so you can't have any weakness in the frame or you'll actually feel the flex more, which makes where to split the frame an even more critical process than you might perceive.
There are lots more bike-geek details on the bike on IF's blog, but Smith would rather explain why the bike exists in the first place: "The bike may go on tour with one of the bands on Pablove founder Jeff Castelaz's Dangerbird Records label, so it has the potential to gain exposure for Pablove's child cancer mission in front of lots of youth. It's the reason that I built the pink Pablove belt into a fixed gear. I wanted a youthful audience to become more aware of the cause."
Smith says that either way, tour or no tour, the bike will be raffled off via Pablove so that anyone can enter to win it by donating to the foundation. Keep an eye on the IF blog. And for Pablove, go to pablove.org.

Riot police use tear gas to prevent protesters from marching to parliament during an anti-war rally in Ankara.
ISTANBUL: Many Turks welcomed Thursday their army's swift reprisal for deadly Syrian mortar fire into Turkey but their anger was tempered by fears of being dragged into full-blown intervention in a war that could blow back across their borders.
After mortar bombs from Syria's civil war killed five people in a Turkish border town Wednesday, parliament authorized the government to take military action in Syria if there was a further spillover of violence.
But while Turks voiced widespread support for a retaliatory round of Turkish artillery shelling that killed five Syrian soldiers, fears of greater military involvement in Syria's civil war grew.
The Turkish slogan "savasa hayir" ("no to war") was the top trending item on Turkey's Twitter Thursday morning.
Around 5,000 people took to the streets of Istanbul Thursday evening in an anti-war protest which turned into a demonstration against Turkey's ruling AK Party.
"The AKP wants war, the people want peace," the crowds chanted as riot police looked on. "No to war, peace right now."
"We don't want war, we don't want young men to die," said Hatice Gokturk, a 62-year-old woman.
Earlier in the day, police fired tear gas to stop a small group of anti-war protesters from approaching the parliament in Ankara, chanting "We don't want war" and "the Syrian people are our brothers."
Opposition parties and civil society groups, expressing misgivings over the Turkish army response, called a further protest in Istanbul for later Thursday.
An online survey by Hurriyet newspaper showed 60 percent opposition to the memorandum authorizing possible military deployments. Some fear Turkey is being pushed into the conflict by outside forces seeking to use Ankara to fulfil their agenda.
"We are carrying out other countries' business in the Middle East, it's not our war, and we should not be fighting the war of others," said 38-year-old waiter Mustafa Denizer. "Turkey would drown in Syria if we try to go in there ourselves. We should avoid starting a war without international support."
Turkish artillery hit targets near Syria's Tel Abyad border town for a second day in response to a mortar fired from Syria that killed a mother, her three children and a female relative a day earlier.
"The Turkish people support such limited action, which has a positive impact psychologically, but they would not support a large-scale operation or war, because there is no legitimacy in Turkish eyes," said Nihat Ali Ozcan, security analyst at the TEPAV think tank in Ankara.
The government also seemed keen to allay fears of an escalation of the most serious cross-border incident of the 18-month-old uprising against Syrian President Bashar Assad, whose bloody crackdown on dissent wrecked relations with Turkey.
"Turkey has no interest in a war with Syria. However, Turkey is capable of protecting its borders and will retaliate when necessary," Ibrahim Kalin, a senior adviser to Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, said on his Twitter account.
"Political, diplomatic initiatives will continue."
After parliament's approval of possible military action, Deputy Prime Minister Besir Atalay stressed Turkey's priority was to work in coordination with international institutions and that the authorization was not a "war memorandum."
Turkey has the second-largest army in NATO but its military activity in recent decades has been focused on fighting Kurdish militants at home and international peacekeeping operations.
Turkey's artillery strikes on Syrian military targets in the border area eased public pressure on the government that dated back to the shooting down of a Turkish military jet by Syrian air defenses in June.
At the time, Erdogan warned Syria to beware Turkey's wrath and changed the military's rules of engagement, authorizing the Turkish armed forces to react to any threat from the Syrian side of the border. Until Wednesday, however, Turkey's response had not gone beyond the occasional scrambling of warplanes.
"They were very slow in taking decisions and didn't respond. They were criticized domestically and this had a negative impact on people. Hence a response had to be made this time to overcome this psychological pressure," Ozcan said.
The memorandum in parliament would have the added effect of authorizing possible military action against Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) militants who are believed to be active in northern Syria.
"This memorandum will also give the army authority to carry out operations against the PKK in Syrian territory," Ozcan said.
The PKK, mainly based in the mountains of northern Iraq, has waged a 28-year-old insurgency in which more than 40,000 people have been killed. Its proxy party in Syria has exploited the ongoing chaos to exert growing influence in the region bordering Turkey.
"We have to be very careful on our border with Syria. We must remain cool-headed and our reactions must be measured. The radical groups near the border may be trying to provoke Turkey into declaring war," said Mustafa Kemal Caniklioglu, 31, a restaurant manager in Istanbul.

Is it OK and normal to have sex while you have your period?
- Kathleen*
It all depends on the couple and how they feel about having sex when a girl has her period. Basically, some girls (and guys) don't like the idea of having sex during a period, while some see it as a natural monthly break in the action, and others are perfectly comfortable with it. However you feel, just remember to talk it over with your partner beforehand to make sure you are on the same page.
If a girl has sex with a guy during her period, she can still get pregnant. And guys and girls also can get sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) during this time — in fact, having sex when a girl has her period can make it even easier to spread some STDs. So always use a condom every time you have sex.

Fear drives about 160, 000 kids to stay home from school every day to avoid being bullied.
Every year a shocking 3.3 million child abuse reports are made in the United States.
More than one in five children under the age of 18 are living in poverty. (That is 16.1 million children)

Slowing down the aggregation or "clumping" of vitamin A in the eye may help prevent vision loss caused by macular degeneration, research from Columbia University Medical Center has found.
Rather than changing the way the eye processes vitamin A, a team of researchers led by Ilyas Washington, a professor in the department of ophthalmology at Columbia's Harkness Eye Institute, decided to focus on changing the structure of vitamin A itself. In turn, Dr. Washington and his lab have taken a novel step toward treating age-related macular degeneration (AMD), a top cause of untreatable blindness—and Stargardt's disease, the most common cause of juvenile macular degeneration.
During the sequence of events that enables vision, vitamin A undergoes a series of chemical transformations in the eye. These processes sometimes allow vitamin A to react with another molecule of vitamin A to form clumpy deposits, or what are known as "vitamin A dimers." Macular degeneration has long been thought to be associated with the formation of these dimers in the eye.
The concentrations of these dimers are higher in the eyes of the elderly and in those with certain inherited eye diseases. Vitamin A dimers are also found together with insoluble pigment granules called lipofuscin. In eye diseases such as dry-AMD, the accumulation of vitamin A dimers and these granules is thought to happen over decades. But in genetic diseases such as Stargardt's disease, this process can happen much faster, leading to early vision loss as early as age 8.
"Researchers have tried a different approach to preventing the formation of vitamin A dimers by modifying the processing of vitamin A by the eye," Dr. Washington says. "But these modifications seem to have inhibited vision and caused side effects."
In animal model studies, Dr. Washington's lab has set about synthesizing a modified vitamin A drug. By feeding this new vitamin A drug to healthy mice, they were able to reduce the amount of vitamin A dimers without any observed side effects, said Dr. Washington, the Michael Jaharis Assistant Professor of Ophthalmic Sciences at Columbia.
When given to mice with the same genetic defect as humans with Stargardt's disease, which usually experience early vision loss, the modified vitamin A resulted in fewer vitamin A dimers, better overall ocular health and improved vision. Importantly, they also observed that the modified vitamin A behaved exactly as normal vitamin A does in all other aspects, making it an attractive potential therapy for preventing blindness in humans.
This work is detailed in a series of articles published recently in the Journal of Biological Chemistry.
Dry age-related macular degeneration affects some 10 million Americans and is the leading cause of blindness in the Western world. Among them, approximately 3 million Americans are at high risk of irreversible vision loss, and 1 million of them are seriously visually impaired due to a late form of dry-AMD. There is currently no treatment for dry-AMD.
Although affecting only 1 in 10,000 individuals, Stargardt's disease is the most common form of inherited macular degeneration and is caused by mutations in a gene responsible for vitamin A processing. Altered vitamin A processing in Stargardt's leads to faster vitamin A dimer formation, subsequent lipofuscin accumulation, and to the early onset of visual symptoms, leading to legal blindness in almost all cases. There is no current treatment for Stargardt's disease.

6 Drinking Games (That Make Spike TV Tolerable)
Subscribe to our newsletter
Lifetime is "television for women". When the network premiered, it vowed to aim solely for the female demographic like no other network had ever done before. Then came Spike TV, which in turn vowed to make "television for men". In doing so, they failed to grasp the underlying message: a women's channel was only needed because every other network was targeting dudes. So, rather than seize the opportunity to address issues specific to men, the just aired other network's hit shows. Eventually they came up with original programming that was notoriously sexist and lacking in any sort of subtext. And yet they developed fans anyway, meaning at any given hangout at a friend's place you might find yourself stuck watching the repetitive dreck that is Spike TV.
Have no fear. We here at WeirdWorm have developed a few games that will aid you in acquiring the appropriate levels of blissful intoxication required to actually tolerate these programs. Most websites would suggest caution and responsibility, but we understand that if you're reading this, it's a good chance you're doing so from a smartphone as a last resort. So simply find the show you're being subjected to below and grab a stiff drink. For bonus points, try a WeirdWorm: Southern Comfort, OJ and Tequila (with the worm in of course).
MXC was one of Spike TV's first hits and a guilty pleasure for millions. Originally, the show was titled Most Extreme Elimination Challenge until it was deemed "too hard to slur to your friends over a Jägerbomb". The show dubs over and edits footage from one of Japan's notoriously-painful-for-contestants gameshows. Since the show they use for fodder, Takeshi's Castle, is designed to make contenders complete real life obstacle courses based on video games, it offers a unique blend of parody and physical pain.
The show ran for five seasons and 81 episodes, and was probably massively profitable. A handful of voice actors took the roles of two announcers, field reporter "Guy LeDouche" and the contestants. Removing anything remotely related to Japanese culture, the creators instead crammed sex and pop culture references into every line of dialogue like some two-bit internet list comedy writer. Popular segments included having people getting hurt, people getting seriously injured, and people making fun of people getting hurt/seriously injured.
To lessen the tedium of the parade of nut shots and lacerations, follow this handy guide: • One drink: when someone says "Right you are", "Indeed!" or "Baba ghanoush" • One drink: when a contestant looks like they'll be permanently injured • Two drinks: when a joke is unfunny and offensive • Two drinks: if you catch yourself moaning in sympathy • Finish your drink: if the creators ever secure another job
Oblivious billed itself as "the gameshow that you don't even know you're on". The brainstorming session for the show mostly revolved around taking tapes of Jeopardy and Hidden Camera and trying to get them to mate. The host, Regan Burns, would pose as some supposedly inconspicuous individual and ask people questions in public, awarding $20 per correct answer at the end. Supposedly, the original version of the show would have the host rob the contestant for incorrect answers but it was deemed "lawsuit bait" by the Spike legal department.
Most game shows that reward knowledge offer sports cars, thousands of dollars or the chance to hug Bob Barker as prizes. Oblivious, on the other hand, gave most contestants a maximum of $100, with one special segment per episode worth up to a whole $500 dollars. To make up for the fact that you could win double their budget by coming in third in Wheel of Fortune, they attempted "comedy". This was accomplished by having the host masquerade as the totally believable roles of "Hollywood Agent" or "Man Getting Married at Taco Bell".To alleviate the drudgery of people getting way too excited over winning a Benjamin, give these new rules a try: • One drink: someone wins $20 on a one question bumper before a commercial break • One drink: a contestant seems to catch on to what's happening to them • Two drinks: some idiot goes 0/5 on their questions • Two drinks: someone fails to grasp the concept and refuses the money • Finish your drink: you find yourself not wanting to punch the host in the mouth
1000 Ways to Die
Taking the white hot brilliance that is list-based humour to the extreme, the show 1000 Ways to Die is one of Spikes newest "dirt cheap to make" shows. Though it clearly can't decide whether it's a trying to be a comic book, documentary or mockumentary, it does know that it likes death. Each show discusses several different mythical and supposedly real deaths.
Each episode also features low paid actors/relatives of the producers demonstrating as much hubris as they can so you don't feel bad for them. The narrator keeps the ball rolling by barely hiding his disdain for people who died in the freak accidents depicted. The show is also notable for its extremely hopeful title, since it presents only six deaths an episode and averages 8 episodes each season, this means it would take an additional 18 seasons to complete the list.To relieve the monotony that comes from the never ending cavalcade of doom, try implementing these regulations: • One drink: a completely ridiculous method of death is depicted • One drink: a death numbered in the triple digits is shown • Two drinks: a death numbered in the double digits is shown • Two drinks: the show takes a conservative stance towards drugs, alcohol or sex • Three drinks: a death numbered in the single digits is shown • Finish your drink: someone dies of terminal cancer

Kampala — Over 8,000 people worldwide die of HIV/AIDS daily. UNAIDS estimates that there are now 33 million people living with HIV/AIDS, including 2.5million children.
The epidemic is increasing. During 2007, some 2.5million people were living with the virus. A total of 95% of these people live in developing nations.
It is against this background that scribes living with HIV/AIDS in the region established a network of Journalists Living with HIV/AIDS (JLWHA). The purpose is to collectively promote a vibrant media fully engaged in the response to HIV/AIDS.
The week-long meeting attracted journalists living with HIV/AIDS from Ethiopia, Tanzania, Kenya and Uganda. They shared their experiences as victims of the AIDS scourge and described the devastating effect of the disease upon themselves.
The journalists resolved to put journalistic living with HIV/AIDS at the centre of the fight since they had a story to tell everyday of their lives.
They said they want to be at the forefront of the fight and publicly give testimonies regarding their status.
They also vowed to sensitise more journalists on issues of care, protection, support and treatment.
They also want to influence the media to publish more stories on the pandemic.
The scribes' love for their countries is evident in their publications and public declaration about their status.
Musengeri narrated how, in the beginning, he was in shock, angry, heartbroken and filled with grief and hopelessness. Eventually he learnt to accept the fact that he was HIV-positive and decided to take action.
Once he had accepted the truth, he expected everyone else to accept it. He was wrong. Instead, he received rejection, isolation and humiliation.
His employers withdrew his retainer fee and ordered him to hand over all the company property.
Today, Musengeri has taken to "preaching" to the whole district of Busia where he is a community mobiliser. He preaches compassion, dignity, courage, love, awareness of risks, the need for unity between people living with HIV/AIDS and the promise of hope.
"In doing this, I want others to realise that HIV can infect any human being and those it chooses are not somehow less human. I want to tell the world that I am not a victim but rather a messenger of hope," he says.
Evelyn Simaloy from Kenya discovered her HIV status in 1999. She had turned to commercial sex to pay her school fees. Today, she is an activist in her country.
EremeyasMekonon wanted to take a lead and make a difference in his area after seeing the epidemic destroying his fellow Ethiopians. He fought a tough battle and he narrates an incident when his wife became a victim of a rapist who removed her right eye.
His wife's cry of: " No! No! I am HIV-positive, please leave me," did not stop the rapist from grabbing her neck and throwing her onto the bed, raping her and afterwards sticking his fingers and pulling out her eyes.
Tamerat narrated how in Ethiopia they had no facilities to carry out tests. The well-to-do had to go abroad for testing.
He says the only messages in the media were: "AIDS kills and the moment you get it you are finished, you will die." Such kind of messages made people afraid to take the tests.
"I tried to fight these messages and the government was not willing to take my advice. I was determined to go on with my campaign since it was I with the problem," he says.
As for me, some of the reasons for going public about my condition were altruistic, others selfish. I wanted to give a face to HIV, especially among professionals, to let them know that with good care, love and antiretroviral drugs, one can still enjoy a good degree of health and even continue practicing their profession.
The testimonies went a long way in confirming that the journalists are ready to lead and expound on the HIV messages of treatment, care and prevention.
While inaugurating the network, Panos Eastern Africa Regional programme coordinator, Paul Banoba, said the workshop was to provide closer focus on the organisation's response to HIV/AIDS.
He said the network would help ensure expanded and informed coverage on HIV/AIDS issues, and also see how journalists can use the media.
Luther Anukur, the executive director Panos, officiated at the workshop's closing ceremony.
He said success will be achieved when HIV positive scribes take the lead in the fight.
"The network is timely and gives a very strong foundation for advocacy," he said.
"Media is the single most powerful tool because it influences attitudes, behaviour, opinion and decision. Positive journalists should be involved in planning and implementation of programmes if we are to win the battle," he said.
Key Points:
The journalists aim to work together on regional initiatives to promote a vibrant media fully engaged in the response to HIV/AIDS.
The first meetings were held between November 27 and December 1 at Masai Maraa Lodge in Nairobi, Kenya.
Regions represented were Ethiopia, Tanzania, Kenya and Uganda.
Panos Eastern Africa,is working to support the establishment of a network.
Members present: Elvis Basudde and David Musengeri - Uganda, Evelyn Simaloy and Lucy Maroncha - Kenya, Ermeyas Mekonon and Tamerat Yemane - Ethiopia and Zephania Musendo - Tanzania.

DescriptionDaVinci Intership
This could be the most UNIQUE internship you will ever come across. Interns become part of our Apprentice program, learning what it takes to become a Financial Advisor.
You will have the opportunity to work directly with our Senior Advisors and Managing Directors, participating in acquiring new clients for the firm. This will not be your typical internship where all you do is make photo copies and get your boss his coffee. You'll get more experience here than you will in any other internship… however, you will work harder here than virtually any other internship or part-time job.
This internship is only for those that have a "do whatever it takes" attitude. If you've ever seen the reality TV show, "I Want To Work For Diddy," and you were intrigued by working for a mogul, this may be the opportunity for you.
Here's a testimonial from one of our former interns that worked in this very same position:
"I've never met more inspiring business individuals. Let alone, successful. The company's President is definitely someone everyone must meet at least once in their life because he has all the traits a business individual needs and should obtain. He has so much experience on his plate, and the best part is, he is always willing to share those experiences with his employees for words of wisdom.
I recall one time during the office's lunch break, Darren Sugiyama (the firm's President) joined the employees and I, which is always nice to know that the president of the company is also a part of the team. At the table, one consultant was heading out to a business meeting, for which he was a tad nervous about. Darren comfortably advised the consultant in such a manner that evidently uplifted the employee with much encouragement. Simultaneously, the rest of us at the table were speechless at how influential Darren's communication is.
Not only does Darren operate his business as an advisor, but an improver at all times. When an issue is brought up, he and the administrative management are sure to address everything for the sake of improvement. Nothing ever just gets glossed over.
Darren will take the time to sit and talk to you whenever there is a need to. He stresses high integrity and ethnics and will tolerate nothing less. To top it off, as a business owner, Darren is definitely an artist in the sense that he is able to create the most unique, first-rate cost saving strategies for small businesses.
It is no surprise that Darren has been extremely acknowledged by countless companies and insurance providers. You can view many of these recognitions the minute you step foot into the office and glance at all the frames on the wall. I've honestly never met someone with as much charisma as Darren Sugiyama.
This can be a Paid or Unpaid Internship
-Assist with the preparation and delivery of training materials
-Prepare presentations
-Day to Day operations
-Schedule appointments
- Strong verbal communication skills
-Organized, resourceful self-starter
-Strong desire to learn
-Thorough attention to detail
PowerPoint, Word and Excel experience is a bonus, and will be considered when choosing the best applicant for this internship position.

I used these for the first time today when the sun was very bright at the pool. They decrease the glare just fine, but I found they started to fog up almost immediately, even after prep with saliva. I decided to loosen the straps, and they actually fogged much less. You really have to figure out the right amount of goggle pressure and strap tension to apply with these, but when you do, they fit and function fine. I find less is best with the Kaimans, and use the skin around the eyes to assist in making a good seal.

These are the most comfortable goggles I have used. The silicone seals around the eyes are very soft and won't leave goofy looking line or bruises. The only issue I have had is the my eye lashes rub on the inside sometimes - not a huge deal, just odd. I do have a problem with them fogging up, but I can still see (maybe my eye lashes can act like wind shield wipers!) - they have fogged from day one. The other thing I like is the soft rubber that goes over the bridge of my nose - makes them fit well and comfortable.
I use these a TON. I like the mirrored and clear versions of this goggle. I get the tinted (mirrored) for racing open water to deal with the sun rise at open water races. I use them once before the race to make sure they are good and save them for race day. They won't fog. However, not true after a couple of races/pool swims. Typical. I use the clear goggles for pool swimming. The trick to make these last is keep the plastic case and USE IT, and ALWAYS wipe the goggles down after swimming. The chlorine messes up the rubber seal. 2 pair will do for a swimming season. Good for narrow faces.
This is my second pair...can't beat Italian goggles!
These are great for open water swimming. I like that the part that connects the 2 side is made of soft silicone. Most goggle have the hard plastic that hurts the bridge of my nose
Great goggles. Easy to adjust. No problems with my first pair. Swim a lot and no trouble with them.
I wear the Kayenne model in the pool, but I prefer the Kaiman for open water and triathlon. These fit a little more in my eye socket and feel more secure without obscuring my field of vision. My lashes lightly brush the inside of the lenses, but I don't notice it while swimming. The nose bridge is softer and a little more comfortable than the Kayenne . The mirrored lense is a shade darker than the smoke color which I have on another pair of Kaimans.
I am a triathlete. These goggles are just the right fit, they are comfortable, with a good visual field.
They never leak and stay tight.
I have had issue's finding the right googles and I think these are the ones. The vision is great and they are supper comfortable. Most importantly they do not leak on me and they do not seam to fog up to much.
Get an alert when we add new styles of Aqua Sphere! Simply sign up and we'll notify you.
Aqua Sphere™ was established in the mid-1990s and has improved the world of eye protection for swimmers. With passion and experience Aqua Sphere created the Seal, the first swim mask featuring 180° vision, and the Kaiman, the first panoramic goggle. All items are made exclusively at their facility in Genoa, Italy. They pride themselves on being a manufacturer, not just a design company using outside suppliers - thus allowing them to internally create true innovations and monitor all processes. Aqua Sphere's design philosophy is to introduce new solutions for the experienced swimmer to be comfortable in the water.

We're excited to announce some new changes at the BFC!
The Brooklyn Food Coalition (BFC) has been a vital force in the food justice movement since its founding five years ago. Now we are entering an exciting new stage, with a revamped organization that will provide even stronger support for community groups working to resolve food issues on the ground.
BFC Transition
Over the past few months, the BFC has engaged in a Strategic Planning Process to see how we can be of better service to the needs of today's Food Justice movement. As a result of our process, we're making changes to re-build the coalition towards a new structure and vision. The BFC is now a coalition that unites and expands the capacity of organizations, community-based groups and allies challenging inequity and racism in our food system.
There will be more about the BFC's history and the Strategic Plan details posted to our website soon.
Want to get involved? Learn more about volunteer opportunities with the BFC and complete a volunteer application to let us know how you would like to get involved. We'll do our best to get back to everyone, but we will prioritize reaching out to those who have the skills, interest and fit for our present needs (to invite for a 1/1 conversation and orientation). Otherwise, hang tight, we're still growing and will keep your application on file.
There's More!

If you have a question that doesn't appear here, on any aspect of life at Kingsmead, don't hesitate - just contact us.
FAQs for prospective pupils
What is Kingsmead like as a school?
There are many strengths in what we are able to offer - an excellent physical education and games programme, great facilities (including enormous, leafy grounds to roam in every day), and a dedicated staff team... plus a wide programme of things to do outside normal classes. But best of all for pupils considering joining us, we have always been praised for how well we make sure that all the pupils at Kingsmead feel very happy and secure here.
Does this mean I will do well?
At Kingsmead we believe it does. No child who is unhappy is going to find all their own talents and skills. Children need to feel safe, secure and happy, and we strive every day to provide that foundation.
Can I have a trial day at Kingsmead?
Certainly. Taster days are on a no-commitment basis so there is nothing to lose!
I find learning quite difficult. Can Kingsmead help me?
Very much so. We have a lovely department which supports children who have any of a range of learning difficulties - and we have a long history of success in doing so.
I sometimes get bored at my school because I have understood the work quicker than the others in my class.
We stretch every child in the class, regardless of ability. Our GCSE results prove that "bright" children thrive at Kingsmead and leave with the highest grades. However easy you find learning, you won't be bored here!
You don't have a Sixth Form. Where would I go when I get to 16?
Kingsmead has excellent links with local schools wiith Sixth Forms, as well as schools in the independent sector. Take a look at our pupils destinations in "After Kingsmead" and you will see where our latest leavers moved on to...
Kingsmead has "a Christian ethos". What does that mean?
We welcome children of all faiths - and children with none. We are non-denominational - which means we simply base our teaching on the Bible, to help you learn to make educated and informed choices in your future life.
Can I visit the school on any other days than Open Days?
Yes of course. Simply contact the school on 0151 632 3156 and arrangements will be made to suit a time you can manage. Lots of people do this. Visits are even sometimes possible in the holidays, although we do encourage you to come and see the school in action.
What about the 11+?
Every year, Kingsmead welcomes children at 11+ stage and sets about making them all feel a success, however the test has gone. The 11+ is not a test of how clever you are, just a test of one type of cleverness. We are good at bringing out your talents and gifts, whatever and wherever they are.

October 13, 2006
GREAT BARRINGTON, MA — Oscar-winning filmmaker and visual effects pioneer Douglas Trumbull will be part of a three-week film studies residency at Simon's Rock College. The residency will include Trumbull's participation with students in the production of a short film, as well as four evening events in late October. The evening events will be free and open to the public.
On Monday, October 23, there will be a screening of 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968), directed by Stanley Kubrick, followed on Wednesday, October 25 by Blade Runner (1982), directed by Ridley Scott. Douglas Trumbull served as Special Photographic Supervisor on both these films. Silent Running (1970), which was directed by Trumbull, will be shown on Thursday, October 26. Douglas Trumbull will introduce each film and will deliver a short presentation with a Q & A afterwards.
The concluding event will be Douglas Trumbull: Past, Present and Future on Saturday October 28 — an evening in which Trumbull will discuss the current and future direction of his cinematic explorations. Included will be the screening of numerous clips, as well as some never-before-seen clips of works in progress.
All of the evening events/screenings will take place in the McConnell Theater at 7:30 p.m
As part of the residency, Trumbull will be the visiting artist for three weeks in the Electronic Arts Studio Video Production course in the Daniel Art Center at Simon's Rock. He will be working with Simon's Rock professor Larry Burke and his students to create a short film using electronic cinematography, "Virtual Set" technology, and computers to record, store, and edit scenes. Students will be using cutting edge technology provided by Paul Lacombe of Brainstorm America, and the class will create virtual sets as backgrounds, or settings, for the action of the film, performed by students from the Theatre Arts Department, under the supervision of Aimee Michel.
Larry Burke, who teaches film studies and digital video production at Simon's Rock, organized the residency and events, and says he was motivated to do so for a couple of reasons. "I had the idea that there is this incredibly significant figure in the world of film technology and artistry living in our midst," he said. At first Burke thought they might simply organize a retrospective of his films, but he then learned that Trumbull was interested in working with the students.
Burke is also interested in bridging the academic world with the professional and the residency seemed to be an ideal way to achieve that connection. "Along with Doug's long list of Hollywood productions, he is an important figure in the creative economy of the Berkshires by virtue of having created high-tech film companies in Housatonic, Lenoxdale, and Sheffield over the last eighteen years," said Burke.
Doug Trumbull's filmography of productions, in which he played a variety of roles including writer, director, producer, cinematographer, and photographic effects supervisor, includes 2001: A Space Odyssey, Silent Running, The Andromeda Strain, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Blade Runner, Star Trek: The Motion Picture, Brainstorm and Leonardo's Dream.
Back to the Future — The Ride and Secrets of the Luxor Pyramid were produced in Housatonic and Lenoxdale. More recently Trumbull's company, Entertainment Design Workshop in Sheffield, developed the virtual set technology and supported the production of 52 episodes of Disney's The Book of Pooh.
Before he became renowned for his photographic effects and work as a director, he was a technical illustrator for Graphic Films, working on futuristic documentaries about space for NASA and the Air Force. At age 23, he became part of the team that pioneered the next generation of cinema, in Stanley Kubrick's visionary 2001: A Space Odyssey, which received an Academy Award for best photographic effects.
Trumbull has received Oscar nominations for his work in Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Star Trek: The Motion Picture, and Blade Runner. He has received an Academy Award in the area of Scientific and Technical Achievement, as well as the International Monitor Award and American Society of Cinematographers Lifetime Achievement award for his outstanding contributions in the field of filmmaking.
Trumbull holds twenty U.S. Patents on various entertainment technologies, and was Vice Chairman of IMAX Corporation, helping to take the company public in 1995. He continues to explore the boundaries of the "immersive experience", including the possibility of imagery being relayed directly to the retina, without aid of a conventional projector.
Today, Trumbull continues to develop virtual set technology and is preparing to apply new digital technologies to his own feature

Bio spotlights US general who won Ike's confidence
"Dogface Soldier: The Life of General Lucian K. Truscott, Jr." (University of Missouri Press, 392 pages, $34.95), by Wilson A. Heefner: "Dogface Soldier" by Wilson A. Heefner recounts the rise from humble roots to high command of hard-nosed U.S. Army commander Lucian K. Truscott Jr., who played a key role defeating Nazi German forces in the Mediterranean region.
Dwight D. Eisenhower ranked Truscott second only to George Patton as a field commander, the author writes. Yet Truscott didn't gain the fame of Patton and Omar Bradley largely because he fought on secondary fronts in North Africa, Italy and southern France.
Heavy on military jargon and battlefield details, Heefner's biography delves into the mindset of an unpretentious, tactically skilled commander who later became a CIA official. Commissioned in World War I after high school in rural Oklahoma, Truscott outdid many West Pointers through ambition and sheer grit.
Personal connections also helped. A rival officer is quoted saying that Truscott rode Eisenhower's kite tail into the military hierarchy, having impressed Ike while they served at Fort Lewis, Wash., in the 1930s.
The only U.S. officer to lead a regimental combat team, an infantry division, a corps and a field army during World War II, Truscott kept his command posts near the front lines to observe combat with his own eyes, not just on situation maps which he distrusted.
After American troops were defeated at Kasserine Pass in early 1943 by Rommel's Afrika Korps, Truscott ordered long forced marches and live-fire exercises duplicating battlefield conditions to mold draftees of his 3rd Infantry Division into a fighting force.
In the Sicily campaign against determined German resistance, the 3rd used the "Truscott Trot" to cross rugged terrain under withering fire and beat the British to Messina, the island's last Nazi stronghold. The division became one of the Army's most decorated units of World War II.
Truscott's will to victory derived from his early days in the cavalry, when he excelled at polo. "You play games to win, not to lose. And you fight wars to win!" he told his son. He was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross, the Army's second-highest medal, for valor at Licata, Sicily, beachhead.
Truscott led American "dogfaces" through some of war's toughest terrain - sun-baked deserts, rain-swept mountains of central Italy and exposed beachheads like Anzio - where the German defenders always held positional advantages.
Ordering young GIs into combat, Truscott had to maintain a detachment from decisions that cost many lives. Hard drinking at the front and his letters to his wife, Sarah, expressing pride in "my lads" helped him cope.
When a Life magazine correspondent pressed Truscott for details about his VI Corps objectives in southern France in 1944, Truscott pointed to a map and snapped. "You saw me move this pin, didn't you? ... Do you know what it means? ... It means that by noon today 25 of my men will be dead." Truscott then sat down and finished his breakfast.
The author says the incident showed Truscott's qualities as a commander: compassion for his men; determination to complete the mission whatever the cost; and a capacity to compartmentalize and move on to the next task.

Reviews From Guests
It's an amazing place to stay! Location is just perfect- we didn't even use subway, just 10 mins from the union square and Empire State Building. The room is nice, with a spectacular view and king-size bed (extremely comfortable). What else do you need? I definitely recommend to stay in Andrea's apt and would choose this place next time
I stayed with Andrea in the middle of February for 10 days and I have nothing by compliments for her apartment and her. There are some things her ad doesn't do justice for; Firstly how comfy the KING bed is. Secondly is waking up to a beautiful sunrise on looking the east river into Brooklyn and Queens. Third is how welcoming Andrea is and how she was always there when I needed her. She made mine and my girlfriend's first trip to NYC very awesome! We will definitely be back!
Andrea is a really nice host who helped us out a lot! The room has a really nice view over East river and Brooklyn, and we could enjoy a beautiful sunrise every morning. We enojyed every minute of our stay with Andrea.
Andrea and Raquel were really good conversationalists for us having arrived so late in NYC. Their pad is a nice place to stay and has a great view in the bedroom. Thanks for everything, you two!!
Great place to stay.
Andrea is a great host! The room was great and very clean when I arrived complete with towels and various items needed when traveling. The building is great and has a 24 hour doorman so it always feels secure. Andrea was very sweet and accommodating always making me feel welcome! I would definitely stay again and recommend her place for anyone looking for a great location in Manhattan! Thanks Andrea!
I stayed with Andrea the night before my residency interview at NYU. She was extremely kind and pleasant, allowing me to book my reservation the same day I stayed with her. She was more than accommodating with check-in time given my schedule and made herself easily available to communicate with during my stay. As for the apartment, it was very affordable and in a wonderful location overlooking the East River. The building had a doorman and was very safe. There was an elevator to help get your bags up to the apartment. As for the apartment, it was beautiful and very spacious! The bed was large (king size) and was extremely comfortable. There was a desk to do your work in the room. There was a closet with hangers for my suit and shirts. The bathroom was very clean and the shower was hot with a great water pressure. She provided shower towels in the room for me. I would highly recommend anyone to stay with Andrea in the future!
Andrea was a gracious host--simply cannot ask for anything more. The room and rest of the home was exactly as described. I would definitely stay with her again when visiting the area. Thank you so much!
We had a wonderful stay at Andrea's place, and it was perfectly adapted to our needs. As for Andrea, we could not have asked for a nicer, more outgoing host. All of the tips she gave us were awesome: parking, restaurants and grocery stores. In addition to all this, she and her roomate really made us feel at home simply by giving us the freedom to use all the great stuff their place has to offer!
I had a very good stay at Andrea's. The room is spacious, clean and the bed is comfortable. It has an amazing view. Subway station is a bit of a distance, but it is a nice walk through the east village. Andrea was very uncomplicated and I could keep my luggage in the room until I had to pick it up for my flight.

Washmorgan Hollow is a 73-acre natural area in Jackson County and is owned by The Nature Conservancy of Tennessee. This sheltered ravine on the Eastern Highland Rim has a rich and diverse flora uncommon in many other areas in the region. It provides excellent habitat for plants and animals alike. The narrow winding ridges are separated by steep slopes that drop between 200 and 300 feet to the bottom of the hollow. A perennial stream tumbles over a waterfall at the head of the hollow. The stream flows out of Washmorgan Hollow into Roaring River just below the confluence where Spring Creek enters Roaring River. Both of these are state scenic rivers.
The forest in this natural area is relatively undisturbed, and birdwatchers have observed neotropical warblers here that includes cerulean warblers, scarlet tanagers, and worm-eating warblers. The rich slopes support red and sugar maples, large beeches, and tulip poplars. There are large sycamore trees and box elder in the hollow along the stream. The forest throughout Washmorgan Hollow is a mixed mesophytic community type as indicated by the presence of buckeye and basswood. In addition to all the many co-dominants already described, many other species of ash, oak, and hickory are a part of this forest. Unfortunately, the impact of butternut canker can be observed here as many of the butternut trees (Juglans cinerea) have been affected and are dead or dying.
This rich hollow with its steep slopes and mixed mesophytic forest supports a colorful spring flora. The flora includes a large population of synandra (Synandra hispidula), which is the mint family, and uncommon in Tennessee.

Location: Melville Sound, Nunavut -725 km north of Yellowknife, 150 km southwest of Cambridge Bay, NU
Size: 4,103 hectares, consisting of five leases
Ownership: 100% North Arrow (currently under option to Sennen Resources Ltd.)
Stage: confirmed near-surface gold mineralization over 300 metres of strike; further drilling required
Closest Infrastructure: north project boundary on tidewater of Melville Sound; south project boundary within 5 km of Doris Mine (not currently in operation)
Project Location Map: Click here to view
Mapping and geochemical surveys have confirmed that the host stratigraphy to the Doris deposit extends northward onto North Arrow's Hope Bay property. Several gold showings have been identified, including the Elu shear, an approximately 400 m long mineralized shear zone structure where a 1998 drill program completed by Navigator Exploration Corp. encountered 14.3 g/t Au over 2.12 m and 5.96 m grading 5.48 g/t within a single drill hole. A second, steeper drill hole from the same set up encountered 2.18 m grading 3.61 g/t Au, before encountering a post mineralization dyke. North Arrow considers the Hope Bay Property to have significant merit given its proximity to the Doris deposit and the related infrastructure improvements currently being constructed by TMAC, including an airstrip and barge docking facility.
An option agreement was announced on July 21, 2001 whereby Sennen Potash Ltd. can earn a 60% interest by funding a $5 million exploration program over a five year period.In 2011, Senned funded anexploration program that included 1225 metres of diamond drilling in 11 holes focused on the Elu Shear zone. Ten of the eleven holes intersected the Elu shear and returned significant gold values. As well, substantial gold values were returned for the Elu splay and Elu shear east, which occur sub parallel to the Elu shear to the northwest and the southeast of the Elu shear, respectively. Interpretation of the results indicates that additional drilling is warranted to fully outline gold mineralization associated with the Elu shear. In addition, further work to identify other gold mineralized shears within the property is also warranted.
