PX 1827 is an intensely sweet wine but has so much character you'd hardly notice. The solera was established in 1827 and PX wine has run through it ever since. The grapes are picked super ripe and dried in the sun till they become raisins before pressing to release tiny quantities of juice which is then fortified to 15%. The wine is then aged in solera for an average of over eight years.

This post is part of SoCS challenge.
I don't usually respond to prompts and I haven't ever participated in a weekly challenge of any sort. I saw this on Sandy's Jar, a blog that I follow but I was just about to skip this, but I like the idea of stream of consciousness writing. I'm not entirely sure that I understand it or know how to do it, but I like the idea. The prompt 'degree/degrees' was appropriate today. I had prepared a blog post, that was loosely coupled to the two degrees I have, chemistry and business, but on second thought and after input from my wife, I decided not to post it. It was one of those posts that are like those angry emails that you write but never send. You feel better after writing them, but upon reflection, you realize that you don't want to go live with that idea.
I noticed that someone else participating in this challenge wrote about two degrees, but the other kind of degrees, the Celsius degrees used to measure temperature. I did a lot of that when I was working toward my degree in chemistry. Some things had to be at certain temperatures in order to proceed. Sometimes, we just had to know what the temperature was throughout our experiment. One analytical procedure that we used would measure, very precisely, the heat given off while burning a specific amount of stuff in an oxygenated container. Degrees, even fractions of degrees were very important.
The degree I was working toward was also very important. Having that degree conferred upon me meant that I was "entitled to enjoy all the rights, honors and privileges pertaining thereto." When stuff is "pertaining thereto" you got something going for you. Those of us receiving degrees that day had worked hard and we had earned those 'rights, honors and privileges."
The degree itself was a bit of an honor but I never enjoyed any of those rights or privileges. I never worked as a chemist. I was prepared to continue my education in chemistry and enter the workforce someday as a chemist but my advisor talked me out of that. He didn't think that was such a good idea. Kind of like the way my wife didn't think that other post was a good idea. One of the important things in life is being able to realize when someone is giving you good advice.
I've written about degrees before. Not the temperature kind and not the conferred upon me kind, but degrees of separation. I wrote about the way they say people can be connected to other people in six hops. I also wrote about the ways retailers are injecting degrees of separation into your shopping experience by outsourcing delivery and installation to one or more contractors.
Degrees are all around us and my favorite hobby, woodworking, often involves degrees. For instance, in making the 15 frames for my daughter's senior photography show, I had to cut 120 45° angles. That might sound hard, but the tools and jigs used to make picture frames make those angles pretty easy to cut. I'm pretty sure that the degree that I worked the hardest to understand/earn is the one that I've used the least. The degrees that are part of my everyday life are the ones I really don't think about.

Successful people frequently assess the effectiveness of their message. Whether it's selling or trying to get your team to accept your goals and plan, communicating to others is an almost daily topic of focus. Frequently it's a topic of angst and concern. How often do we hear that familiar refrain, "we need better communication around here!" Someone stating a problem. What does it mean? Usually it means someone is being left out of the conversation, intentionally or otherwise. So, if there truly is a problem with people not knowing or understanding what's going on within a business, then let's look at some specific actions to take now so we can improve.
The lessons here are also imbued in our MARKETING MESSAGES.
What do we want to accomplish in our communications? What end results do we hope to gain? Do we look to persuade, to inform, to sell, to gain consensus, to push our agendas (goals) forward, to influence, to decide, to disseminate information, to establish sides/boundaries, what else? Here are 4 easily implemented Actions you can take right now.
From the book, "So What?" by Mark Magnacca we are reminded that "people you are trying to communicate with, sell to, or reach don't really care about you, or what you have to offer, until they know how what you have can benefit them." "If you help enough people get what they want, by showing or explaining how what you have can benefit them, you can have anything you want."
This is where we appeal to the emotion of our audience vs. presenting logic, facts or charts.
I'm going to paraphrase an article by MARISSA LEVIN Founder and CEO, Successful Culture. In her article she says there is 1 Thing That Will Get People to Listen to You Instantly. There's 1 thing you can do to make sure your message cuts through the noise and makes an impact.
"In today's world, good communication is increasingly elusive. We rely on technology to convey our messages more than ever before, and we are receiving more messages from multiple sources than ever before.
Through the use of emoji's, pictures, audio, and video that we send over text, emails, podcasting, and social media platforms, there are so many opportunities to be misunderstood.
We know the bad communication habits that destroy our relationships (and we engage in them anyway): Personal criticism, Blaming, Complaining, Nagging, Threatening, Punishing.
What if you could do one thing to improve your communication and increase the odds that your message is getting through?
Here's the secret: Practice responsible communication. Communication is all about what the receiver experiences and perceives, not what the sender intends.
"Most people define communication as messages they send to other people. Effective communication is defined by the receiver. If your receiver fails to understand your message, it is your fault, not theirs."
The quality of your communication completely depends on how your receiver receives it. Under Armour founder and CEO Kevin Plank believes that everyone must have a voice, and everyone deserves clarity. In an interview with Suzy Welch, he shared that he encourages all managers to ensure meeting attendees can state:
- "This is what I heard."
- "This is what I think."
- "This is what we're going to do."
Kevin explained, "It's about making sure people's voices are heard. Did I hear you? Did I understand your meaning? And then, clarity. My view on your opinion is the following, and therefore my actions will be the following. Everyone must have a voice, and everyone deserves clarity. Those things increase performance, satisfaction, and speed."
Your chances of communication success will increase significantly when you make your communication about them, instead of you. Once again this is about emotion. Don't mistakenly believe that your facts, charts, logic will prevail. They won't.
An attuned, responsible communicator will take into consideration how the receiver will best absorb the message, and adjust accordingly.
There are other practices you can incorporate into your daily communication to help ensure a positive outcome. Working on your emotional intelligence, asking the right questions to frame the right conversation, and being fully present in a dialogue are additional ways to meaningfully connect.
When we are truly heard and understood, we open the door to deeper connection, greater trust, and lasting transformation for ourselves and our relationships. That total understanding starts with you, when you think before you speak.
Learn to attach stories to your message vs. powerpoints. Why does a story work? How does it get our attention and cause us to feel an emotion? What makes it connect with us? What effect does it have on us? The answer to those questions is that stories have a definite Neurobiological influence on us. They engage our brain and cause us to take Action.
Stories help us influence people. And, they help us improve our communication with prospects, communication with clients, communication with staff, our board, our investors…..AND they are often the quickest path to the greatest emotional connection with your audience.
Aim for the mind, but go through the heart. People change minds and actions when you touch their heart vs. just give them information.
In terms of making impact, this blows the standard PowerPoint presentation to bits. One author says, "I advise business people to begin every presentation with a compelling, human-scale story. Why should they buy your idea, story or product. Why should customers or a person on the street care about the project you are proposing. How does it change the world or improve lives. How will people feel when it is complete. These are the components that make information persuasive and memorable. The mind is wired to learn best through storytelling. The heart causes us to care about the message…and When we engage both the heart and the head we can change your world and that of your audience."
Stories clarify, they can amuse, Stories ignite possibility, Stories are Emotion based and Emotion leads to action. They help us sell more, be a better Communicator, be someone who gets people to take Action, help make what we say be more memorable. Mind numbing cascades of numbers, charts and powerpoints won't achieve that goal. Not even rock solid logical arguments. If you'd like to learn more about the How, Why and How To Do It, please contact me.
Use the art of asking questions to find solutions/get answers/sell more. Rely less on spreading your knowledge and opinions and rely more on learning about the other people whom you face.
In any gathering be the one asking questions about the other person, then be quiet. They will think you are the most intelligent person in the room. Especially in something like a networking group or a social gathering. But also in your daily interactions you will learn more by asking questions and being quiet. Ask questions, then listen. The actual and perceived communication value will go up significantly.
Be a great questioner, which begets being a great listener. How do we know in advance the kind of questions to ask? Answer: All of them always begin with either: Who, What, When, Where, Why, or How. And we may need to ask a series of these in order to get to the "heart" of the matter. Heart is another word for Emotion.
I can hear the pleading and cursing now. "Not another meeting." Yes a meeting. But there is a very specific way to handle it so you are 100% guaranteed productive. Here's how:
–When you plan a meeting have a specific start time and ending time. It allows everyone to effectively plan their day.
— Show respect to those who came on time. Do not allow late comers to delay your meeting. Do not review what they missed. The others will have to find a way to get what they missed.
–Have a specific agenda and do not vary from it. If someone goes off the topic of the meeting, no matter how important, shelve it for another time, another meeting.
–Follow these simple rules and you will have people who look forward to your meetings because you accomplish things, there is no wasted time, there are no hidden agendas.
AND, your ability to communicate will grow exponentially.

artists' installations
The model followed by the Alviti brothers, Christian (sculptor) and Patrizio (painter), is that of a Renaissance workshop. Serving as a bridge between artistic creation and the decorative and sculptural techniques, they create works for both public and private spaces. The past is celebrated thanks to frescoes, patinas, grits Venetian, mosaics, bronze castings, trompe l'oeil, but the imagination and experimentation have no limits. That is why the workshop also work cement, aluminum, iron, paper and plastic. The aesthetic creation goes mainly to complement the work of architects and interior designers. Christian, the older of the two brothers, is a self-taught sculptor and loves to use his hands to sculpt and forge new items and decorative elements. Patrizio however, has chosen painting to express himselves.
From this meeting exclusive unions were born, rich ideas of contamination and winning solutions ranging through all the arts. The two brothers provide a wide rnge of valuable services, from the artistic consultancy to design, construction management, support for restructuring, until the conversion of environments, which are transformed into pleasant way as needed. Cristiano and Patrizio's pride are the artists' installations: brushstrokes and design interventions that characterize places, giving shape to emotions and creating new ones at the same time.

Last year over £1 million was raised nationally by sponsored riding and walking for the nation's historic churches. Since 1982, £10 million has been raised in this way. Buckinghamshire was a leading county where over £30,000 was realised. Half the money was returned for maintenance work at the church chosen by the rider or walker and the remainder was distributed by Buckinghamshire Historic Churches trust to historic churches needing to make costly repairs to their buildings and therby save the nation's heritage.

How do I speak to the SENCo/Inclusion Manager if I have a concern about my child?
If your child has English as an additional language then you need to talk to your child's class teacher if you have concerns about your child's needs. Your child's class teacher will then discuss these concerns with the SENCo/Inclusion manager and will feedback to you what needs to happen next. If you still need to make an appointment with the SENCo/Inclusion Manager then you can make an appointment at the school office/call the school office or tell your child's class teacher and the SENCo/Inclusion Manager will arrange an appointment at the next available time.
How will the SENCo/Inclusion Manager ensure the necessary people know about my child's needs?
Your child will be assessed using an EAL (English as an additional language) assessment tool. Once completed, your child will have a support plan in place detailing the areas of need your child should be working on. This plan will be written by the class teacher and shared with all staff working with your child. Your child's support plan will be reviewed biannually by the class teacher and any other staff working with your child. A copy of this review will be shared with and kept by the SENCo/Inclusion Manager.
How will my child's progress be reviewed and when will I be invited into school to discuss this? Will my child be able to give their views?
Your child's support plan will be reviewed biannually and your child will be part of this process throughout the academic year. Regular work and assessment will be undertaken by your child and staff working with your child throughout the year. Your child's support plan will be shared with you on parent's evenings or at another time arranged by the class teacher.
If my child needs extra support, will I always be spoken to about this?
Yes, you will be spoken to by your child's class teacher first of all. A 'note' will be made during the meeting and you will be given a copy. If further discussion is needed then a meeting will be arranged either with your class teacher or with the SENCo/Inclusion Manager.
Will information that needs to be shared, be made clear and easy to understand?
The support plan for your child will be in child friendly language. Any documents concerning your child will be discussed with you and/or you will be given a copy and if you have any questions concerning the document then school will arrange a time to discuss it with you.

Himalayan Crossroads offers internship opportunities in both traditional medicine (Ayurvedic and Tibetan) as well as western medicine.
Our internship opportunities in healthcare are designed to be a two-way exchange program where the participants as well as the local community benefit from the partnership. The participants will receive a placement in one of the country's reputed hospitals, clinics or non-profit organizations and will work under the direct supervision of the some of the country's most accomplished practitioners.
In addition to placing you according to your interests, we offer language instruction, and a wonderful staff to help interpret and provide depth to your experiences. Included in your tuition is comfortable accommodation, local and western meals, safe drinking water, and internet access.
Nepal is one of the best destinations for medical internships as there is an insufficient number of medical practitioners to meet the wide range of medical issues that Nepali people face every day. Nepal is a small nation with diverse people, cultures, and landscapes that make access to medical care challenging or even unavailable to many Nepalis. Hospitals in Kathmandu are understaffed and the influx of patients from across the nation often overwhelms the capacity of the facilities and staff. Working in hospitals in Nepal offers incredible exposure to the medical challenges facing a developing country, a steep learning curve in diagnosis and treatment, as well as a powerful emotional experience which stems not only from the magnitude of the need for medicine, but of your ability to make a difference in people's lives.
|Physical Therapy
|Occupational Therapy
Well before western medicine found its way into this small Himalayan nation, people relied upon the knowledge and practices of traditional healers. Ayurveda and Tibetan medicine are centuries-old traditional medical systems with complex approaches to diagnosis, treatment, and understanding of illnesses. In traditional medicine a greater emphasis is placed on promoting health rather than simply diagnosing illness. Illness is seen as an imbalance, or an aberration from the normal state of health. Both Ayurveda and Tibetan medicine are embedded in the spiritual traditions they emerged from, and an understanding of these world views is essential in understanding the diagnosis and treatment of individual patients. Both Ayurvedic and Tibetan medicine are still practiced widely thoughout Nepal and recognized world wide for the efficacy in treating illness and promoting health.
Please contact us for further information or if you have any questions. We have a broad network of contacts and should be able to find a good match for your particular interest, whether you are entirely new to medicine, or a trained doctor looking to offer to your expertise.
|Tibetan Medicine
|Ayurvedic Medicine
Rural communities in Nepal are the most vulnerable, with inadequate medical facilities, awareness, and education. Himalayan Crossroads brings medical health camps to villages to raise awareness and train the local community – and even the health post workers – in basic sanitation, nutrition, and medical treatment.
We recommend you add a rural health-care internship to your program for an extraordinary experience with the health-care systems and ways of life in rural Nepal.

Spyderco FB30GP Phil Wilson Pin
TThe Spyderco South Fork is a faithful rendition of Wilson's custom version, boasting all the qualities and features that define the design. Consistent with his penchant for high-performance steels, the blade is ground from state-of-the-art CPM S90V steel. This particle metallurgy steel was originally called CPM-420V and was developed as a wear-resistant steel for use in feed screws in plastic injection molding machines. Its high carbon content and the addition of molybdenum ensure a fine grain size and extreme wear resistance, giving it outstanding cutting performance and edge retention. Like Wilson's custom knives, Spyderco's South Fork is meticulously flat ground for superior edge geometry. The South Fork's handle features full-tang construction for strength and pinned handle scales made from polished G-10. An integral guard provides ample protection for the user's hand, while the thoughtfully contoured handle shape allows both excellent control and fatigue-free cutting, even during prolonged use. The handle also includes a lined lanyard hole. It comes complete with a custom-molded Boltaron® sheath. The sheath's G-Clip fastener supports vertical, horizontal and canted carry on the belt, as well as inside-the-waistband carry. The sheath is also symmetrical, so it can easily be configured for a variety of carry positions to suit the needs of both left and right-handed users

Lately, I been in a place of feeling defeated and battling a overwhelming feeling of doubt. These feelings although are quite normal, have had me feeling ashamed to even express to my friends and family who are always ready to be my support group in times of need. I realized when I finally did vent to a friend however, that I wasn't alone and in that, I found peace.
Why don't people who are going through the scary, painful and ugly period of waiting not talk about it? Maybe it's because we live in this world where we rather display all the accomplishments and speak about the miracles we experience. I guess, personally, it's hard to talk about this time because you don't want others to see you when you are defeated and know about this time of depression or hardship you experience. I started this blog this year, because I wanted to express myself, and as weeks go on, I have come to realize, me being raw is needed. I guess as scary as it is to be vulnerable and share about what I struggle with, there is a reason God put it on my heart to start this, because there is someone out there that needs to know, they're not alone.
You see, as I continue on in this season of waiting, I have talked to multiple people who have been where I was before, that continue to remind me of the same message, "This is the time where you're suppose to wait, don't rush this time, enjoy it..Once you get a job, you're gonna be wishing you had this free time again." Although it is so encouraging to hear and be reminded to enjoy this free time, which I can truly say I have been, it doesn't make it much easier. Especially in my Indian community where EVERY time I meet someone new or talk to an adult, I am asked what I'm doing with my life. I was talking to a friend this week who happens to be in my boat about how we hated these dreaded conversations and questions we get every week and how to answer it properly without sounding like we are being bums and receiving concerned looks. She told me she's been using the answer of "I'm waiting for the Lord." because not only is it true but once she said that, people kind of just stop the questions and tell her they'd keep her in prayer. I laughed when she told me this..I mean, wow, what an easy way to just get out the conversation you want to avoid! But then I realized it's the truth in that statement. I don't have my life together because I am waiting on the Lord to give me the next move. I've done all that I can do, and now it's in His hands. God is a funny God..all my life I have always had a hard time with being patient, and I think currently God is teaching me through this struggle the true test of patience. This is the stage in life when I just get to figure out who I am in God and I think I lost sight of that.
I truly believe we go through seasons to learn how to grow stronger. You all have heard the saying "April showers bring May flowers." You don't see these seasons change over night. For a flower to blossom, a seed must expand its roots in the fertile, be watered daily, and then begin to blossom to bloom into a flower. I guess currently my roots are being expanded. As I grow deeper in my walk with God, I know even in this time where I feel alone and defeated, God is watering me, so that I will be prepared to blossom into a beautiful flower.
Romans 8:24-28 says : "For in this hope we were saved. But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what they already have? 25 But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently.26 In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans. 27 And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God's people in accordance with the will of God.28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.
seek Him and He will provide you with peace.

White House state dinner includes martial artist Jackie ChanPosted on Thu, Jan 20, 2011 at 7:47 am
by IDMA Editor
No Chinese food on the menu tonight for the state dinner at the White House for Chinese President Hu Jintao - it's all-American steak and potatoes. But there are plenty of Chinese Americans on the guest list: Designer Vera Wang, actors B.D. Wong and Jackie Chan, artist/architect Maya Lin, Olympic skater Michelle Kwan, and even Rupert Murdoch's Chinese-born wife Wendi Deng Murdoch all made the cut, along with a gaggle of Chinese-American members of Congress and the Obama administration.

But Barbra Streisand also is on the list, along with her husband, actor James Brolin. So is Vogue's Anna Wintour, musician Herbie Hancock, Walt Disney honcho Robert Iger and his wife Willow Bay, ABC's Christiane Amanpour and her husband, ex-State Department spokesman James Rubin, plus a clutch of other big-foot journalists like New York Times journo power couple Nicholas Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn, who won Pulitzers for their work covering China. Former presidents Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton (and current Secretary of State Hillary Clinton) are on the list, but not former President George H.W. Bush, a former ambassador to China.

The 200 guests, spread out between the East Room, Red Room and State Dining Room, will listen to jazz as they dine on dry-aged rib-eye steak with buttermilk-crisp onions, double-stuffed potatoes and creamed spinach, plus pear salad, poached Maine lobster with orange-glazed carrots and black trumpet mushrooms, topped off with apple pie and ice cream, according to the menu released by the White House late Wednesday.

Take the veal and pork; pick the meat from the skins before you weigh it; then take the beef-suet, and red sage leaves; wash and mince them as fine as possible; put them to the meat and suet, and mince as fine as you can. Add to it the white salt and pepper. Pare all the crust from the French roll, and soak the crumb in water till it is wet through; put it into a clean napkin, and squeeze out all the water. Put the bread to the meat, with the eggs beaten; then with your hands work all these things together, and put them into a clean earthen pan, pressed down close. They will keep good for a week. When you use this meat, divide a pound into eighteen parts; flour your hands a little, and roll it up into pretty thick sausages, and fry them in sweet butter; a little frying will do.

Armin Ronacher has packaged Werkzeug and Jinja2 into a new web framework called Flask.
I developed this simple app to learn more about Flask, and to be able to present a what I hope was a somewhat informative overview of the tool at a Southern California Python Interest Group meeting.
Flask is under heavy development at the moment, so if you have any feature requests now's the time.

Act I: Zey had heard all about Joshua. As students at LSE, she would often have to listen to her Turkish girlfriends gush over this super cute handsome guy in their class. Finally, Zey has the opportunity to meet said super cute guy – and after a few initial run-ins between him and her friends, Joshua finally musters up the courage to introduce himself to the mysterious girl he'd noticed from afar – he says, "By the way, I'm Joshua". Zey unfortunately interprets his courageous efforts as cockiness and writes him off as just another casanova-confident cool guy.
Act II: Zey is helping to organize a friend's 30th birthday boat party on the Thames. While selling tickets at the library, she sees Joshua and invites him to come. He declines. With 5 exams on the horizon, any form of social life is out of the question. On the night of the boat party, just as the last guests arrive, Zey notices Joshua by her side. Surprised, she asks what he's doing there. He replies, "It was a last-minute decision". That night, Zey, a non-flirter, sets her sights on a cute Greek guy and decides that she will flirt with him. But as the night progresses, her and Joshua's paths cross and they stop to discuss life and its mysteries – a bit psychological, a bit philosophical, a bit spiritual. During these spontaneous moments, it's just the two of them. But Joshua is not blind to the Greek guy at her side and secretly decides that there will be none of that. As the Greek and friends try to convince Zey to join them at a club, she opts for walking with Joshua along the river instead.
Act III: Joshua and Zey begin to spend time together. They find moments to sneak away from their studies for a tea break, for lunch, and at times taking refuge in the small secret park behind the school. Their first official date is at Momo's, a Moroccan hookah bar, and it is here that Zey tells Joshua she will be returning to Turkey in a months time. As Zey explains, Joshua draws the curtains on this connection between them, although never completely cutting things off. This sudden change leaves Zey heartbroken, confused, and a little disappointed. When she receives a text from Joshua, who is in Venice, saying that he is thinking of her, she is excited. On the day of his return to London, she waits at his apartment building with a sweet box of blueberry muffins (his favourite) along with a stuffed monkey. She stands in the rain for 2 hours, asking everyone who enters if they are Joshua's flatmate. Finally, his flatmate lets her in and she leaves the gift on his bed. The evening passes with no phone call from him and she is crushed. That night, they see each other at a bar while with their respective group of friends. Before they leave, the two silently make their way to each other and share a hug so full of love and passion, but also pain and the impossibility of this relationship.
Act IV: Zey leaves for Turkey. One day, she phones Joshua on a whim only to learn that his phone is disconnected. The following day, there is an email from him in her inbox. "Are you trying to contact me via psychic ways? I'm in Africa and feel your presence very strongly" he writes, unknowing of her attempted phone call. The next few years pass and the two email rarely. The one constant in their correspondence is the shared feeling of incompleteness. Joshua remarks on this, saying he knows Zey entered his life for a reason but is unsure what that is, but maybe he'll discover it when he is 97.
Act V: Three years after leaving London, Zey visits the U.S., stopping in NYC, Miami and finally L.A., Joshua's hometown. Joshua meets Zey at the airport with a sunflower in hand. They visit Venice Beach where they share a hug that instantly transports them to that moment at the London pub long ago. They spend the week together, and visit San Francisco where Zey decides she will live one day. Between her and Joshua, it is evident that the spark is still there, but little hope – he lives in L.A. and she in Turkey. On a whim, Zey arranges a job interview in Miami soon after, and after speaking on the phone with Joshua, it's clear that the connection is still there. She leaves for L.A. and meets his family and friends. Although she returns to Turkey again, there is now a feeling of hope. Joshua will soon travel to Turkey to convince Zey to move to the U.S. Two months later, they quit their jobs, pack up their lives and move to San Francisco. The two eventually marry in Istanbul, on a boat. As Zey tells me, what began as a magical surreal connection on a boat in London comes to a full circle on another boat on the Bosphorus 7 years later.

In the last two posts, we looked at the balance sheet and the income statement of a company. They give a direct view on the current status of a company and an overview of the company's performance over a marked period. In this week's post, we will look at the statement of stockholder's equity, the sheet of information stockholders probably care the most about, because it has got to do with the dividends investors receive, the value of stock they hold, and the structure and dynamics of a company.
Above is an example of a statement of stockholder's equity. It records the changes of three categories that mount to the total amount of equity a company owns: contributed capital, retained earnings, and other. Contributed earnings represent the part of equity (cash and assets) earned from the sale of a company's stocks. Retained earnings is the sum of all of a company's net income ever that had been reinvested into the business, or in other words, the sum of total net-income over the years minus the sum of total dividends ever paid. Others stands for the equity that's not part of a company's operations, such as treasury bonds. (To learn more about treasury bonds, click here.)
The variables that change the three categories of equities are stock issuance, net income, dividends, and others. It is quite intuitive that stock issuance contribute to the changes in contributed capital. It could be either positive or negative, depending on if the company sold more or repurchased more of its stocks over the marked period. (Note: On a financial statement, a negative changed is represented by a number in the parenthesis.) Both net income and dividends contribute to the changes in retained earnings as it is defined. Net income adds to the original retained earnings, and dividends are subtracted from original retained earnings. The sale or purchase in treasury bonds, or cash flow in other financial activities unrelated to the business operation of a company, contributes to the changes in "other" category. On the top of the statement of shareholder's equity, there is the status of contributed capital, retained earnings, and other at the beginning of the marked period, and on the bottom there are the three categories after the changes during the marked period. (Learn more about share dilution, click here.)
Why is this sheet of information so important? Because it is very much related to the investors' interest. The amount of stock issuance (or repurchases) is a big factor of the stock price of a company despite from its own performance. When a company issues more stocks, that means there are more shares of the company available in the market, which reduces the value of an investor's already owned shares. This is called a share dilution. It's like if you were the only person in the world that has clean water and suddenly 10 more people also discovered and owns water, the value of your water now decreases. Share dilution can be understood in the fundamental "supply and demand" model in economics. The higher the supply, the lower the price. In contrast, the lower the supply, the higher the price. Therefore, when a company repurchases its own stocks from the market, it drives up the value of each individual share held by investors.
There can be further implications about the stock issuance. When a company issues more stocks, it usually means that it needs more cash for expansion and capital investment. Depending on your confidence and judgement of the company's decision-making, you can sell your shares of the company or purchase more of them. If you don't believe Nike's investment in the Chinese sportswear market would yield profit, then it's better to sell your stocks early before Nike stumble hard on this big spending and the stock price drops. If you believe otherwise, which I do, then it's a perfect time to buy in the newly issued stocks cheap.
The amount of dividends paid by a company is more straight forward. Investors are paid with dividends as their interest in investing in the company. However, we often see a zero in the dividends entry on a equity statement. That doesn't mean the company is not paying its shareholder's interest. The company is paying the investors by investing in itself, improving performance, and thereby driving up the share value. Depending on if you are a dividend stock investor or a value stock investor, this piece information can very much affect your decision.

As the cap and gown are hung in the closet and the diploma is mounted on the wall, graduating high school students celebrate graduation and look forward to the days of summer. These sunny months are also a time of transition as students prepare for the next phase of their lives, and for many this means heading to university or college.
When I was a student, the summer months meant balancing work and play. I worked most summers to help pay for my tuition, and have my own spending money. Summer was also my time to try out a few different things -- what jobs I might like come graduation or a dream summer job. But taking advantage of downtime was also important. How? I tried to schedule a week of holidays with friends before starting the coming school year, fun on the weekends and gave myself a little more going out time during the summer break.
Summer continues to play a transition role for me today. Whether it's my son transitioning into Gr. 1 or my current situation as I settle into my new job as Director of Student Banking at RBC. Reflecting back on my summers as a student, I realize that while change in any capacity can be challenging, it is an exciting time to embrace new possibilities as well.
Did you know, Statistics Canada reports that more than 2 million students are enrolled in post-secondary education? That's a lot of transitioning. If you're one of the students on that path, or the parent of one heading in that direction, here are some tips to help make the transition successful transition.
Take a break
You've worked hard over the past 12+ years so take a well-deserved break. Celebrate with high school friends you may not see come September.
Create a financial plan
If you're going away to school, this may be the last time you will be living at home. Discuss your new independence and responsibilities. If you're living at home next year, it may be time to show you're financially prepared and independent.
Calculate how much money you will need for the school year -- everything from large expenses such as tuition and housing, to living expenses including groceries, transportation, technology and entertainment. Don't forget the hidden or unexpected costs -- like laundry detergent and toilet paper. And the fun costs like going out with friends, holidays or a new pair of shoes. Determine who will be paying for which items.
Shop early for school
The summer will go by quickly and while shopping is often fun for us, avoid stress by shopping early. Make a list of the items you need -- from clothes to technology, school supplies, and accessories for your dorm room -- and decide how much you have to spend. The back-to-school sales are starting earlier each year, so you can do research online to compare prices, track costs, and exercise responsible spending.
Take a tour of your new environment
For many students, going to college or university may be the first time they've lived away from their families and that means a new and unfamiliar environment. Schedule time during the summer to take a tour of your new school and city. Check out the local transportation so you know how to get around as well as where you will do your shopping, banking and other activities. I think it's worth attending your school's orientation -- to meet new people, and find a few tips and tricks to student life. It's another great way to make sure it's a smooth transition.
No matter where you will be in September, the summer months are the perfect time to take advantage of a more relaxed routine to recharge your batteries and plan for the many new opportunities in the coming months.
If you've graduated high school this year, how are you spending your summer? How are you preparing for the next chapter of your life? I'd also like to hear if there is anything you feel unprepared for as you move into the next phase. Please share your comments below or tweet us @RBC_Canada #StudentsGetMore

The founder and leader of Heaven's Gate Ministry International, Nicholas Osei popularly known as 'Kumchacha' has expressed disappointment in the founder of International Central Gospel Church, Pastor Dr. Mensa Otabil and Nigerian clergyman, Matthew Ashimolowo for the 'special miracle' offering at the recently held Greater Works Conference held at the Independence Square in Accra.
Kumchacha claimed the two renowned Pastors have defrauded members of the church, adding that they should be arrested by The Bureau of National Investigations (BNI).
According to him, the fictitious means used by the two men of God at the event to outwit the members for an unjustified '24' hours instant miracle was purely business.
"If you look at what Pastors Dr. Mensa Otabil and Matthew Ashimolowo did was total business. What they did was fraud so they should be arrested by the BNI," Kumchacha told Gatuso on Aben Wo Ha Show.
Giving reason with regards to giving time frame for God's miracles, Kumchacha said it is unwarranted to give specific hours or days to anxious members of the church who seek miracles from God since He (God) works in His own time not according to the set time one gives to Him.
"We men of God aren't God to tell you that when you give offering you will get the result that same day, We're not God… So what if it doesn't happen then you've become a liar. Let's not boast of tomorrow because we don't know what happens tomorrow (Proverbs 27). When someone is giving offering, it should be done by the will of the giver. You as a pastor can't give 24 hour miracle… You're not God," Kumchacha added.
The notice promised "Millionaire Status" for anyone who gave an offering of $5,000 or GHC21,500. For "100% Life Improvement" believers would have to make an offering of $100 or GHC425.

I just returned from another hospital appointment. I signed the form for a new trial that's come on to the breast cancer scene. It's specifically for people like me with an aggressive type of cancer- HER2 positive. Our cancers tend to grow more quickly and spread more quickly than other cancers. This trial will be my fourth line of treatment in eighteen months. The last "miracle" drug I was on stopped working for me after ten rounds. I got seven months out it and then the doctor told me last week that although my scans showed no new cancer body areas, there were a couple of new lesions in my liver, and one lesion had grown to 3cm. I burst in to tears even though I had a feeling bad news was coming. The male doctor passed me tissues. I tried to speak but you know when you're crying so much words don't come out properly and you sound a bit like a pig struggling for air?
"It's not the end" he said. "We have at least three more things to try after your trial." I asked in my pig voice why I don't get very long on each drug, and proceeded to tell him how unfair it was-of course I knew that nobody knows the answers and it's futile asking these sort of questions.
To top this shit off, I've become so anaemic that I'd needed a blood transfusion to get my red cells up. That was basically my week last week. Treatment ceased because it was no longer working, and I had a blood transfusion.
I've been pretty lucky remaining asymptomatic through out much of this, but I now have pain my my stomach like a terrible stitch. If I eat it tends to hurt more. The doctor told me today it's my liver and tumours are pushing against the nerves.
We also spoke about the trial and what to expect. They told me not to get pregnant and to use condoms or have a coil fitted and I laughed. I told them that sex is the last thing on my mind and abstinence is my contraception. They laughed. For a brief second I wondered if they pitied me, because it must have sounded rather strange. A woman in her thirties not having sex. Anyway, all being well I'm supposed to start my trial in two weeks. I will technically be a private patient, on a totally different ward with nicer furnishings and lavender and potpourris wafting through the reception.
This last week I have found it hard to motivate myself and crawl out of this hole of deep depression and anxiety. To be fair the anxiety hasn't been so bad but the depression has its tight grip on me. It's laughing at me, telling me that death is catching up with me. It tells me not to see friends and make them miserable with my depression, wallow at home instead. It's hard to shake the depression off when you feel so sad and so physically weak, but today one week on from bad news day, I am starting to feel more positive about this trial and my future.
There's been a lot of focus in the media around cancer survivors talking about how hard it is to move on from such a horrible experience. I've been saying this for years, but people still lack understanding whether it's friends and family or in the workplace. Many presume people should just be over it after treatment ends. This was me years ago, the worry, the fear, so I totally understand these women and they have every right to be heard. Their feelings are valid and should be respected- what to do with those fears though that's the difficult part. I remember saying once, I'd rather be incurable than in that horrible limbo not knowing my future, but now I regret those words because it couldn't be further from the truth. As hard as it was back then, I would give anything to be cancer free, to feel that immense joy when I'm told that there's no cancer visible. I'm never going to be given that news now. The best I can ever hope for is reduction in tumours or cancer staying the same and not growing. Isn't it sad when your good news sounds absolutely hideous and frightening to another? I would give up everything I owned, every penny, to be in that limbo again because the probability is that cancer would never come back, I'd see my grandchildren and my kids weddings. I'd outlive my 73 year old dad, but none of this is going to happen. At least in limbo you have a good chance of being ok. So I say to people please focus on that. This comes from a good place, and from the heart because I love and care for people deeply and it hurts me to think of people worrying so much about something that may never happen. I say to people be nice to yourself and your body. Tell yourself that you're amazing and believe it. Try not to think the worst, I did that a lot, sometimes I wondered if I willed my cancer to spread, I was so negative and miserable I regret it now.
I dully understand that the unknown is very frightening, and it almost seems cruel that nobody knows if their cancer will return, but perspective taught me that I would much rather be in that limbo boat than where I am today. Premature death for me and many others is inevitable and instead of worrying if cancer is going to show its ugly head again I worry how I'm going to die and how much pain I'll be in when I do. In limbo I always knew that there was a possibility that I would be ok and live a long life, when the anxiety got too much I could soothe myself with knowing that.
To conclude, all feelings are valid, nobody has the right to tell you you're not allowed to feel something, so don't listen to anyone who does. I think it's normal to feel anxious about cancer returning but if it takes over your life then you should definitely talk to someone about how you're feeling. For us incurables, it sometimes seems impossible to carry on and even though I think I do a good job mostly, I'd love advice on how you manage to keep that strength up and remain hopeful when treatment stops working.
Love to everyone fighting (past and present)

Ericsson files bankruptcy plea against Reliance Comm
On Tuesday, 15th May, the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) admitted an insolvency plea filed by Sweden's Ericsson against India's Reliance Communications (RCom), ruining or at least delaying the latter's plans of selling its wireless assets to Reliance Jio Infocomm, to lighten some of its debt-load.
The Mumbai bench of the NCLT admitted three petitions filed against Reliance Communications and its subsidiaries by the telecom equipment maker, Ericsson. Ericsson signed a 7-yr deal to operate and manage Reliance Communications' nationwide telecom network in 2014, and they are seeking to recover Rs 1,150 crore in dues from Reliance.
The company was unable to survive the intense competition in the Indian telecom market (especially since the entry of Jio, which offered free voice and data plans) and their debt burdens have been multiplying for over a year now, with over Rs 46,000 crore of debt to be paid to Indian and foreign banks.
The company, headed by Anil Ambani, signed a deal with Reliance Jio, headed by brother Mukesh Ambani, in December 2017. As per the deal, RCom would sell off its spectrum, towers, fibre and switching nodes to Jio for around Rs. 18,000 crore, but that deal is now in jeopardy. It seems that Anil Ambani cannot even be saved by brother Mukesh, given the current situation.
"All three petitions have been admitted and Ericsson has to suggest the name of the interim resolution professional (IRP) tomorrow (Wednesday) morning," said Anil Kher, senior lawyer representing Ericsson. The company's shares plunged on Tuesday but rose back up today, with news of Ericsson willing to settle the matter with RCom outside the court.

Honestly, I have had a serious case of writers block for a year now. This format was originally intended to be a content feeder about all things fly fishing in the world of the notable angler...me. Its changed, it's wandered, it's started, and it's stopped many, many times. Its an organic beast now and will most likely remain so for awhile longer.
Very hectic last few months with guiding most day, trying to be a parent at nights (oldest son is now at MSU and living in the dorms(if you know anything about his path...that's a huge fucking deal...and I am so proud of him), the little guy is back at school and consumed with playing his first year of tackle football. The wife is busy as ever at MSU.
I have been contributing more to our store blog the usual oover the last 6 months and as I only have som much time for this...that's where most of it's going.
Yet, I still need to vent and things have become bottled up. Very quickly here...Ebay is for cheap fuckers, Juicing flies is stupid and pothetic, people are too sensitive, the internet-in terms of the Monatan fly fishing industry-has become a place for shitheads to lie about their services and sell snake oil.
Most fly fishing guides in Montana are LAZY, I'm not.
Finally. The world is full of two types of people. Doughnuts and Doughnut Holes. All Doughnut Holes come from Doughnuts. A doughnut knows everything that a doughnut hole knows, plus more. A doughnut hole can only know what a doughnut hole, can never know all that a doughnut knows. Its a matter of capacity. In the world of being a fly fishing angler. are you a doughnut or a doughnut hole? Here are some helpful ways to help determine your status in the fly fishing world.
Wonder what that bug on the water is? Doughnut Hole.
Agonize over tippet size? Doughnut Hole.
Head out, looking for a dry fly hatch on a sunny day when the wind is blowing 40? Doughnut Hole.
Think all fly rods are pretty much the same? Doughnut Hole.
Cant comprehend how a shuttle operation works? Doughnut Hole.
Think waders will make you a better angler? Doughnut Hole.
Cast 50' and throw a reach cast in at a the end? Doughnut.
What's a reach cast? Doughnut Hole.
Buy $14.99 sunglasses for fishing? Doughnut Hole.
What bugs go through a complete metamorphosis? Doughnut Hole
Lots and lots of Doughnut Holes in this world....very few Doughnuts.

Class of 2015: Bonner senior says being involved leads to good things
May 14, 2015
Sam Nelson says he didn't jump into school activities with both feet his freshman year at Bonner Springs High School.
It took a little bit of prodding from his parents, Kim and Steve Nelson, and his teachers to get him started.
"It just kind of grew until my senior year it seemed I was involved in pretty much everything," he said. "I just enjoy doing things for our community and school. I have a really good sense of school pride; I try to do what I can to make the school a better place."
It worked out well for Nelson; his involvement helped lead him to become one of the valedictorians for the Class of 2015.
Nelson was president of the National Honor Society, a captain in Orange Crush, a captain on the soccer team and swim team, Student Council Senior Class Representative, president of this year's newly founded Key Club, and co-president of the Friendship Group. He also was involved with Yearbook, Peer Helpers, and Spanish Honor Society.
He said of all of those activities, working with special education students in Peer Helpers probably had the biggest effect on his life.
"You just really felt the biggest impact by doing those things," Nelson said. "A lot of things you do that are community service related … you don't really see it, but in there, you're one on one and become friends with someone and get to teach them social skills."
He said being on the swim team also stands out in his mind, particularly after this year's record-breaking season that took the team to the state swim meet.
"It was really fun … it was a really good sense of being part of a team," he said.
Nelson had planned to attend Kansas State University to study business and psychology, but after earning a University of Missouri-Kansas City Chancellor's Scholarship, he has decided to attend that school instead to major in psychology and philosophy.
"I got into the honors program there … and I really just like the feel of the UMKC campus," Nelson said of going to the slightly smaller school.
His major, however, has been a little bit more set in stone — he was inspired to study psychology some time ago by an uncle who is a psychiatrist. Philosophy, he said, is an interest he has developed through reading in his free time.
Nelson said he feels many of his fellow members of the Class of 2015 are less sure of their futures.
"I don't think there's a lot of kids set in stone what they want to do, but I think everyone had their plans set, whether they were going to go to community college or technical school or a four-year university," he said. "… So I think they're well-prepared for advancing their education, but a lot of students don't really have an idea of what they want to do."
He also thinks a lot of his classmates will remain true to their Bonner Springs community and return here once they have completed their education, started their career are ready to settle down.
"I think a lot of kids say they want to move somewhere, but I don't think they will; I think they'll come back to where they started," he said.
Nelson was one of a handful of students that may as well have stayed on the stage at BSHS's recent Senior Awards Night ceremony. He was recognized with several academic awards and accomplishments, including the Kansas Governors Scholar Award, Kansas Honors Scholar and a 2015 Kansas Designated State Scholar. He also was noted for receiving 10 different local scholarships.
For the underclassmen at BSHS, he had a few tips for those who hoped to spend a lot of time on the stage at their own awards night ceremony.
"I'd say being involved in a lot really helped because of networking," Nelson said. "Being involved, having good grades and applying for as much as you can. I know I got one of my scholarships because I was the only one that applied. It's worth it to apply for all of them."
