- U.S. manufacturing output also fell in April, missing expectations.
- Figures also showed Chinese industrial production, retail sales and fixed–asset investment all slowed in April, the latest mixed data point concerning analysts who are uncertain how much stimulus measures will spur activity in the second-largest economy.

Tencent books record, estimate-busting first-quarter profit, boosted by investment gains
- Tencent posted record quarterly profit on Wednesday, smashing market expectations, as the social media and gaming giant booked a rise in the value of its investments while fintech and cloud computing make up for declines in games.
- Revenue came in just shy of analyst estimates at 85.5 billion yuan, with growth at an all-time low of 16%.
- "FinTech and Business Services", a category disclosed for the first time and which includes payment and cloud services, generated 21.8 billion yuan in the quarter, up 44 percent.
- That was more than smartphone gaming revenue, traditionally Tencent's largest single revenue generator, which fell 2% to 21.2 billion yuan due to fewer new titles.
- Its online advertising revenue grew 25% versus 55% in the same period a year earlier, with Tencent blaming a "challenging macro environment" and high comparison base.

Fears of flying Boeing's 737 MAX won't get in way of price conscious ticket shoppers: Reuters/IPSOS poll
- U.S. fliers still consider ticket prices the most important factor when choosing a flight, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll, suggesting two fatal crashes of Boeing 737 MAX jets have had little impact on consumer sentiment.
- In the public opinion poll released May 15, only about half of U.S. adults say they are familiar with the airplane crashes in Indonesia and Ethiopia that together killed 346 people, and only 43% could identify the Boeing 737 MAX as the aircraft involved.
- Most importantly for Boeing in the wake of the crashes, only 3% said that aircraft maker or model number was most important to them when buying a plane ticket. In contrast, 57% said ticket price was most important.
Microsoft Warns of a Monster Computer Bug, In a Week of Them
- Microsoft took the unusual step of warning that a computer bug it has now patched could be used by a cyber weapon similar to the WannaCry worm, which spread across the globe two years ago.
- Microsoft said that it hasn't seen anyone take advantage of the flaw, which affects older versions of its Windows operating system, but that it believes it is "highly likely" the flaw will wind up being exploited by malicious software, now that it has been publicly disclosed.
- The flaw affects Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008. It also affects Windows 2003 and Windows XP—older versions of Windows that Microsoft doesn't typically patch.
- But, in a sign of the severity of the bug, Microsoft released XP and Windows 2003 patches as well.
Tesla's solar factory is exporting most of its cells – document
- The "great majority" of solar cells being produced at Tesla's factory in upstate New York are being sold overseas instead of being used in the company's trademark "Solar Roof" as originally intended, according to documents reviewed by Reuters.
- The exporting underscores the depth of Tesla's troubles in the U.S. solar business, which the electric car maker entered in 2016 with its controversial $2.6 billion purchase of SolarCity.
- California state data shows 21 Solar Roof systems were connected by the state's three investor-owned utilities as of Feb. 28.
- Only a few others were connected in the northeastern United States, according to a former Tesla employee with knowledge of the matter, who was laid off during staff cuts earlier this year and asked not to be named.
Trump administration to delay auto tariffs by up to six months: Sources
- The Trump administration plans to delay auto tariffs by up to six months, stopping itself for now from further widening global trade conflicts, four sources told CNBC.
- The White House faces a May 18 deadline to decide whether to slap duties on car and auto part imports. By law, the administration has another 180 days to come to a decision as long as it is negotiating with its counterparts.
- The delay comes as the White House tries to strike a potential trade deal with China to end an escalating conflict.
Retail Sales Declined in April
- Retail sales, a measure of purchases at stores, restaurants and online, declined a seasonally adjusted 0.2% in April from a month earlier, which fell short of the 0.2% increase economists had forecast.
- Retail sales in April increased 3.1% from a year ago.
- Data for March was revised slightly up to show retail sales surging 1.7%, the largest increase since September 2017, instead of the previously reported 1.6% jump.
- Excluding automobiles, gasoline, building materials and food services, retail sales were unchanged in April after an upwardly revised 1.1% acceleration in March.
- Sales at nonstore retailers, a category that includes internet merchants, were down 0.2% compared with a month earlier.
U.S. Industrial Production Dropped in April
- So-called industrial production was down 0.5% in April, well below expectations among economists for a flat reading.
- Manufacturing output, the biggest component of industrial production, fell 0.5% in April from a month earlier.
- Industrial production was up 0.9% from April of last year.
- The report showed manufacturing capacity use, a measure of slack, decreased 0.5 percentage point to 75.7% last month.
- More broadly, industrial capacity utilization declined to 77.9% in April, compared with expectations of 78.7% in April.
Stronger home sales boost builder confidence in May
- Builder confidence in the newly built, single-family home market rose 3 points to 66 in May, according to the latest National Association of Home Builders/Wells Fargo Housing Market Index.
- That's the HMI's highest reading since October, but lower than last May's level of 70. Anything above 50 is considered positive.
- Of the index's three components, current sales conditions, rose 3 points to 72. Sales expectations in the next six months rose 1 point to 72, and buyer traffic moved up 2 points to 49, the only component still in negative territory.
Trump expected to sign order paving way for U.S. telecoms ban on Huawei
- President Donald Trump is expected to sign an executive order this week barring U.S. companies from using telecommunications equipment made by firms posing a national security risk, paving the way for a ban on doing business with China's Huawei, three U.S. officials familiar with the plan told Reuters.
- The executive order would invoke the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, which gives the president the authority to regulate commerce in response to a national emergency that threatens the United States.
- The order will direct the Commerce Department, working with other government agencies, to draw up a plan for enforcement.
White House Resistance to Budget Deal Worries Republicans
- Congressional Republicans are growing increasingly nervous over the Trump administration's opposition to signing another two-year budget deal to set overall spending levels before the government's funding expires Oct. 1.
- Such deals usually combine higher defense spending, a Republican priority, with higher nondefense spending, which Democrats demand in return, adding to the federal budget deficit.
- In preliminary discussions, senior aides to President Trump have resisted a two-year agreement and argued instead for a one-year extension of current funding, according to lawmakers and aides from both parties in both chambers.
- The difficulties lawmakers and Mr. Trump are facing in trying to agree on a disaster-aid package, typically one of the least contentious bills, has set off alarm bells that a bitter fiscal fight may be looming this fall, according to lawmakers in both parties.
- In addition to preventing another partial government shutdown, lawmakers and Mr. Trump need to agree on raising the government's borrowing limit, known as the debt ceiling, by early fall to avoid running out of money to pay its bills.
U.S. Embassy Staff to Leave Iraq as Iran Tensions Mount
- The U.S. ordered all its nonemergency diplomatic staff to leave Iraq immediately, as tensions rise with Iran over recent attacks against oil tankers and facilities in the Persian Gulf region.
- The State Department directive comes amid U.S. warnings of heightened threats in the Middle East from Iran-allied militias, which could target American citizens and soldiers in Iraq.
- The order comes after the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad on Sunday advised all U.S. citizens to remain vigilant due to heightened tensions in Iraq.
China's retail sales growth slumps to 16-year low as trade war risks rise
- China reported surprisingly weaker growth in retail sales and industrial output for April on Wednesday, adding pressure on Beijing to roll out more stimulus as the trade war with the United States escalates.
- Overall retail sales in April rose 7.2% from a year earlier, the slowest pace since May 2003, data from the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) showed. That undershot March's 8.7% and forecasts of 8.6%.
- Growth in industrial output slowed more than expected to 5.4% in April on-year, pulling back from a 4-1/2-year high of 8.5% in March, which some analysts had suspected was boosted by seasonal and temporary factors.
- Analysts had forecast output would grow 6.5%.
- Motor vehicle production dropped nearly 16% as demand weakened, with sedan output slumping 18.8%, the steepest decline since September 2015. Industry data this week showed auto sales fell 14.6% in April, the 10th consecutive month of decline.
Germany's Economy Rebounds Despite Darkening Trade Outlook
- Germany's economy rebounded in the first quarter after narrowly avoiding recession late last year, easing the immediate pressure on policy makers in Europe as the outlook continues to darken for global trade.
- The German economy expanded by 0.4% in the three months to March from the previous quarter, driven by vibrant private consumption and a booming construction sector, according to a first estimate published by national statistics agency Destatis.
- With Germany rebounding, economic growth in the 19-nation eurozone rose to 1.6% in the first quarter on an annualized basis, from 0.9% in the final quarter of last year, the EU's statistics agency said Wednesday.
Tilray, Aurora Cannabis sales jump after Canada legalizes recreational marijuana

REGIONAL— Minnesota's Eighth District bucked the national trend on Tuesday night, as voters here opted to replace a progressive retiring DFLer, Rick Nolan, with a Republican backed by President …
REGIONAL— Minnesota's Eighth District bucked the national trend on Tuesday night, as voters here opted to replace a progressive retiring DFLer, Rick Nolan, with a Republican backed by President Donald Trump.
Pete Stauber, a longtime Duluth police officer and current member of the St. Louis County Board, proved the top vote-getter, with 159,388 votes, outpacing former DFL state Rep. Joe Radinovich's 141,972 votes.
"I know many voters share my optimism for this great state and the greatest nation in the world," Stauber said in a press release Tuesday night. "We agree that our best days are yet to come. I look to the horizon and see a sunrise and can't wait for what tomorrow brings."
Stauber had strong backing from President Trump and Vice President Mike Pence, both of whom visited Duluth in recent weeks to stump for Stauber.
Stauber also benefitted from a veritable flood of outside money from conservative groups that blanketed the airwaves and Internet with attack ads against Radinovich, mostly over traffic violations and other youthful indiscretions. As one of only a small handful of districts in the country that the GOP identified as possible pick-ups, GOP-supporting political action committees spent more than $6 million attacking Radinovich.
"We have seen the impact that outside money can have in a race can have," said Radinovich spokesman Bennett Smith. "It's not a good impact; it's not good for our democracy or having faith in the folks elected. We need to hold elected officials accountable to the promises they make."
Radinvoch, for his part, set a fundraising record for the district in the third quarter, with over $1.25 million raised by non-corporate donors. But it wasn't enough to fight back against the big outside money.
Neither candidate showed strength on their home turf. Radinovich won handily in St. Louis County, including in Stauber's hometown of Duluth, running up a nearly 20,000-vote margin county-wide. Radinovich also outpaced Stauber in most precincts on the Iron Range, although results from northern St. Louis County were more mixed. At the same time, Radinovich lost ground on his home turf, failing to crack 40 percent of the vote in Crow Wing County, where he grew up in the former mining town of Crosby. Stauber showed strength throughout the Brainerd lakes region and the southern portion of the district, which now dips all the way into the northern Twin Cities exurbs.
Stauber's campaign laid out few policy proposals, focusing mostly on the candidate's support for copper-nickel mining and President Trump. He also went against some GOP leaders in declaring support for protecting Social Security and allowing pre-existing conditions to be covered by health insurance.
Radinovich on the other hand, embraced progressive policies such as support for single-payer healthcare.
A third candidate in the race, Independence Party candidate Ray "Skip" Sandman, garnered four percent of the vote in the race. While his presence may have pulled votes from Radinovich, with whom he was more closely-aligned politically, Sandman was ultimately not a spoiler, since Stauber did win a slim majority, with 50.7 percent of the vote.
As of press time, the Eighth District was the lone district in Minnesota to flip to the GOP. The state's First District race, between GOP candidate Jim Hagedorn and DFLer Dan Feehan, was too close to call, with a margin of less than half a percent, making a recount possible.
Meanwhile, DFL candidates unseated two Republican house members, Erik Paulsen in the Third District and Jason Lewis in the Second, meaning Minnesota will likely keep its current split of five DFL-controlled congressional seats to three for the GOP. That assumes that Hagedorn retains his roughly 1,500- vote lead in the First District, pending a possible recount.

Hardman v. State
The Supreme Court reversed Defendant's convictions for driving under the influence causing serious bodily injury, holding that Defendant's conditional no contest plea to the charge was not proper. Because Defendant did not present a proper cognitional plea, reversal of the district court's order was required because "the issues are clearly controlled by settled Wyoming law." Therefore, the Court entered an abbreviated opinion pursuant to Wyo. R. App. P. 9.06 and remanded the case to the district court for proceedings consistent with this opinion. View "Hardman v.

High School Sports
5 Columbus area tennis teams were in state playoff action Monday. Here's how they did
Five local tennis teams played matches Monday in the Georgia High School Association state playoffs. Here's how they did:
Brookstone girls
After losing 3-2 to Walker in last season's final round, the Brookstone girls intend to be at least one point better with all the starters back this season.
As the Area 1 first seed in the 16-team Class A private-school bracket, they are off to a super start with a 3-0 victory Monday at home over Area 4 fourth seed Mount Pisgah.
"My girls shed a lot of tears last year when you lose a match like that," said Brookstone coach Mary Lynne Cumiskey, who has led the Cougars to 12 state championships (most recently in 2017) and is in her 39th season. "They're definitely on a mission. They've been thinking about this since last spring. So we're trying to get that title back."
Winning their matches Monday were senior Gracie Hemmings, 6-0, 6-0, at No. 1 singles; sophomore Mattie Albright, 6-1, 6-0, at No. 3 singles; and junior Mary Stewart Mullin and sophomore Maria Eckstein 6-0, 6-0, at No. 2 doubles.
Hemmings and Albright "just played beautiful tennis today," Cumiskey said. "They didn't make any mistakes, and they were very confident in their strokes and placed the ball very well."
Mullin and Eckstein "were a very aggressive group," Cumiskey said, "but, at the same time, they were very consistent. They're smart players. They poach at the right time, and they try to hit down the alley at the right time. They work together extremely well."
Brookstone advanced to the Elite Eight and will play at home Thursday against Providence Christian, starting at noon.
Columbus girls
One of their No. 1 doubles players couldn't play because of a stomach virus, so the Columbus Blue Devils needed a reserve to step up her game.
Sherry Aschenbach did indeed.
In her first playoff match, the junior teamed with senior Kindra Woodman to win 6-2, 6-0, as the Region 1 first-seeded Blue Devils beat Region 3 third seed Mary Persons 4-0 Monday at Lakebottom in the Class AAAA Sweet 16.
"She did fabulous under pressure," Columbus coach MikelAnna Hill said of Aschenbach. "It was some of the best tennis I've seen her play."
Also winning matches Monday for Columbus were senior Mary Weston Courville, 6-1, 6-1, at No. 1 singles; senior Sydney McRae, 6-1, 6-0, at No. 2 singles; and sophomore Kelsey Human and senior Lexi Grier, 6-1, 6-2, at No. 2 doubles.
"My girls came to play today," Hill said. "They left no doubt on the courts. It was good to see that fire."
That fire looks like this:
"Aggressive," Hill said. "A lot of times, it's easy to get relaxed on the court and be willing to play not to lose. But today, they played to win. They were aggressive at the net and hitting their shots with power like they should."
The Blue Devils advanced to the Elite Eight and will play at 1 p.m. Wednesday at Lakebottom against Region 5 second seed LaGrange.
Columbus boys
The Region 1 first-seeded Columbus boys won 4-0 Monday at Lakebottom against Region 3 third seed Mary Persons in the Class AAAA Sweet 16.
The Blue Devils advanced to the Elite Eight and will play Region 6 first seed Flowery Branch or Region 8 third seed St. Pius at a time, date and location unavailable before this story's deadline.
Winning matches Monday for Columbus were: senior Harrison Brown, 6-3, 6-0, at No. 1 singles; sophomore William Holden, 6-0, 6-1, at No. 2 singles; senior Raymond Peebles and junior Julian Watts, 6-1, 6-2, at No. 1 doubles; and senior Tyler Hanson and sophomore Akash Shan, 6-0, 6-0, at No. 2 singles.
Northside girls
The Region 1 second-seeded Northside girls lost 3-0 Monday at Region 2 first seed West Laurens in the Class AAAA second round (Sweet 16).
"We played close at one and two singles and had a chance at two doubles, but we came up short," said Northside coach Hunter Davis. "The kids played well, but the pressure of the situation seemed to make them a little tense. West Laurens played really well and came to win."
Looking ahead to next season, Davis added, "Hopefully next year will be another strong year for us as we are only losing one senior off of this year's team."
Harris County boys
In the Class AAAAA Sweet 16, the Region 1 third-seeded Harris County boys lost 5-0 Monday at Region 3 first seed McIntosh.
"They fought hard at this match," said Harris County coach Kristy Bradley. "Our No. 1 singles, Gabe Davidson, was out sick for several weeks, so others played out of position."
Despite ending the season with a shutout loss, Bradley expressed optimism about next year.
"The doubles really improved as the season progressed," she said. "We will return four starters next season."

DominionStrategy Wiki
Tournament thoughts: Advance all tied players from one round to the next. Odd-size games could either be 2p or 4p, or volunteers could fill in spoiler seats to make 3p games. If players are tied for the overall championship, play another game.When winnowing from 48 straight down to 9, tiebreakers will matter and I expect one or more tables will have souring experiences due to VP-based tiebreaker metagaming. I'm of a mind that cutting more than 80% of the field in one 3-game round is probably a bad idea. I'd suggest either playing a longer round or having an additional round before the semis.

Different types of compound radiant floor heating systems are used in residential buildings and their thermal and economic performance varies largely by many factors. One of the most influential factors on performance of a system is envelopes insulation. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of insulation in thermal and economic performance of a radiant floor heating system. Using different insulation approaches – poor or no insulation, conventional insulation according to national regulations and with BioPCM boards- heating loads and system sizing's were analyzed and calculated by Design Builder software and system and components were compared in each case. The results showed that the heating loads and component sizes decreased significantly with PCM insulation. As a result, using BioPCM boards for envelope insulation can be considered as an energy and money saving constructing approach for a residential buildings using radiant floor heating system. Due to it's at least 11% reduction in heating loads

Expand the diversity of your sex positions with the Pipedream Fetish Fantasy Series Fantasy Sex Swing. The Fetish Fantasy Sex Swing is designed to be heavy duty with installation being directly into a stud or support beam which allows the swing to support up to 350 lbs. The sex swing includes a heavy-duty steel eyelet bold, heavy-duty link chain, and a torsion spring for added support. The swing is very adjustable; all pads, supports, and stirrups can be adjusted to accommodate a variety of positions.

I've already choosen it for my funeral and I'm not 30 yet. The wife and I love the Sinatra years, Dean Martin & Co. Even the Ink spots, Anka & Mario Lanza feature on our playlists.
Of course we know Anka, and very sucessfully made "My Way" a universally well known song from an old decripited French song with Sinatra; even I, a young fuckstick love the old classics. They belted the songs out in a voice with power that will never be repeated again in any fashion and period in which they were produced.
I fucking love Sinatra and Co. even though some say he was a cnut

Sexism as moral corruption. The impossible destructiveness of all's fair in love and war. This is part of the story of our lives, I think. "Men and women are different species."
Cultural Feminism: the problematic of pre-feminist patriarchy viewed from the subjective point of view of female solidarity. The stereotypes of patriarchal ideology are all correct: the point is to fight the war from a position of power.
This ideology is reprehensible, it's corrupt, it's stupid, it's beneath the dignity of the people who embrace it. Women are not from Venus, men are not from Mars. Women and men are both from earth. This is the promise and the point of feminism: that liberation belongs to all people.

More from the autonomous suobstance of the IPS OOO thread:
Balder: Would this "distributed thinking" be akin to (or have the same elemental status as) Luhmann's social systemic communication? Meaning, it wouldn't be an element in any individual's endo-relations, but it would be an element in the company's endo-relations. (Not that I necessarily agree with this, but I am wondering if that is where Bryant would go with this...)
theurj: Back on p. 72 Luhmann said thoughts (or cognition) are the elements of conscious (or biological) beings whereas communications are the elements of social structures. I'm not sure how closely Bryant is following this, or to what degree he refines this in terms of extended mind. In the two posts at Larval Subjects above this is not addressed. But it seems certain Bryant is accepting that the thinking done by the social structure in the EM posts is not communications but extended cognition, a supposed element of conscious suobjects, not social suobjects. Even the whole division as to what is conscious breaks down with EM.
Balder: Yes, I understand that Luhmann distinguishes between cognition and communication, but since I believe Luhmann regards cognition and communication as elmental to their respective systems, and since Bryant has appeared to regard cognition as elemental to a biological system, my thought was -- if he is following Luhmann generally, and also more specifically his own interpretation of the status of cognition for the organism -- then he would likely regard extended cognition as "elemental" (non-substantial) for an organizational or social system as well.
But I'm with you in wondering about this, since as I also argued earlier on, thought does seem to have object-like qualities as well.
theurj: Something else Bryant said in the quote above, about the social structure not requiring "any centralized planner nor agents that have an overall representation." I'm reminded about Wilber's differentiation between individual and social holons, the former having a dominant monad while the latter does not. The thing is, with EM the organic individual suobject doesn't have this either, its own cognition being distributed. Yes, it has its own endo-structure distinguished from its exo-relations, as does the social suobject. Bryant agrees with that much. And the individual organic suobject translates perturbations (ideas) from outside in a unique fashion, as does the social suobject.
And even the mediating suobject that communicates between the two (sign) has its own suobstance, presumably its own endo and exo-relations? So an idea in the endo-relation of the sign? Or just its element? The idea being an element for all of them? That can't be, for elements are not shared or communicated, residing strictly in endo-relations. Only a real suobject can be communicated, right?
So it* strikes me that perhaps Lakoff's embodied basic categories are akin to Bryant's endo-structural organization. Both provide the frame through which a suobject interprets or translates its environment or perturbations therefrom. While each suobject's basic categories are unique by some infinitesimal amount they are still mostly similar (99.9%?) to other bodies in the same type, like humans. Lakoff also makes clear that our basic categories do not exist in the outer world, that they are unique to humanity in its translative capacity, that they do not provide a 1-to-1 representation of the world as it is. Granted it's close enough to respond to the world and not only survive but thrive. But still, like endo-relations they are inside, not outside.
However the outside still gets inside in both systems, or at least affects the inside, for we must engage successfully in exo-relations to survive. And it is here where our inside-outside boundary becomes more porous than insular. With extended cognition, something not explored by Lakoff that I can see, it appears that even our basic categories might indeed exist in the environment. Or something very much like them that then becomes translated through our biological neurostructure. Here Bryant is instructive in that any suobject has this self-defining endo-structure which translates its environment, so any suobject has its own version of basic categories.
So I'm suggesting that the basic categories themselves are an inherent structure to the material world, not in some Platonic ideal type but as inherent to embodiment of any kind by the very nature of a difference that makes a difference. Ideas then are not involuted from above but generated and evolved from below out of embodied basic structures. Granted it appears ideas require a more complex biological base to materialize, but perhaps this will also be so with machines some day. The point however is that once ideas are generated they too become embodied suobstances with a life of their own which get communicated via signs and infect others of like mind. Again this will be translated uniquely to the degree of maybe 0.1%, but 99.9% of that idea will remain intact across the individual boundary.
I'm struggling to communicate this but I think I got the general idea out before it evaporated. I'll clarify more as it articulates further in my own extended mind as further broadcasts from Sirius are translated therein .
* The suobstantive idea in itself, that is.
Update: I did a Google search on "basic categories" and "endo-relations" and the only results were 2 posts in the IPS OOO thread. One is the recent entry directly above, the other is this one and a few following, where I was on to a similar notion. Seems I'm the only one on the internet exploring this relation. Imagine that, an original enquiry without precedent. Seems I really am picking up signals from Sirius. Or something.

The Truth About Bed Bugs In Maryland
When it comes to bed bugs, it is easy to let fear take over. These are scary bugs. There is something unsettling about an insect that hides in your...
Does it seem like every time you turn around, you're seeing another news story about bed bugs? It isn't surprising. There are certainly plenty out there circulating. There are stories of apartment complexes burning to the ground because of desperate residents taking bed bug control into their own hands. There are stories of bed bugs being found in strange places like schools, libraries, and movies theaters. And it is becoming very clear that, not only can these pests directly affect our lives, but they are also able to affect us in indirect ways as well. If you're a fan of sports, you now have to worry about whether or not your favorite athlete is going to have a rough night's sleep in a hotel because of bed bugs and underperform the next day. It is enough to make anyone anxious.
6 Ways to Worry Less About Bed Bugs in Maryland
You can worry a little less about getting an infestation if you know all the places you can pick these bugs up. If you are on the lookout for bed bugs, it is harder for them to take you by surprise. When you travel by taxi, bus, train, plane, or more be aware of the signs. If these bugs are present in the place you're spending the night, you'll see black streaks, black droppings, urine stains, blood stains, shed insect casings, or these bugs crawling around. You may also notice a musty, wet towel smell.
You can worry less about bringing an infestation home if you know that bed bugs don't only infest dirty places. These pests are not attracted to filth. They will live anywhere they can get a blood meal. So, being aware of your surroundings, even in a 5-star hotel, can keep you safe.
You can worry less if you always perform a quick inspection of any room you're going to be staying in, even if it is a room in the house of a friend or relative. Quickly checking all sheets and mattress creases for blood stains, urine stains, black streaks, and insect casings can prevent these hitchhikers from hitching a ride home with you.
You have less to worry about if you know that bed bugs are often an isolated incident for a business. If you find bed bugs in your hotel room, it is okay to be moved to another room in your hotel as long as it is not adjacent to the room you found the bugs in, and as long as you do a quick inspection of your new room.
You can worry less if you know that these bugs can enter your home on returning college students, friends, and family. When your college-age kids come home, make sure to wash and dry all their clothing on the hottest temperature. This will kill bed bugs in all stages of development. And, be sure to do an inspection after guests have departed.
Maryland residents can turn to American Pest to stop bed bug infestations "before" they begin. Our team uses K-9 bed bug inspectors to sniff out bed bugs, even before they hatch from their eggs.

This is an audiovisual ethnography of the memories of perpetrators of state violence, particularly lower level actors who carried out the murderous plan during the May 18 in 1980, Gwangju, South Korea. In 1980, Gwangju, located in the agricultural Honam region in South Korea, became a theater of state violence as a great many civilians were brutally killed by the martial law army. But we still know almost nothing about the "people" especially lower level actors who carried out the massacre. While the victims of the May 18 have been the subject of significant academic research since the 1990s, particularly after the democratization of South Korea, the perpetrators of state violence have rarely been featured in this landscape. I tried to examine the contrast between the visibility of victims and the invisibility of perpetrators.

Worship: Week 3 - Devotion 3
One aspect of our worship is to praise God for the great things He has done. Here are some scriptures about the great things of God:
He turned the desert into pools of waterand the parched ground into flowing springs;there he brought the hungry to live, and they founded a city where they could settle. - Psalm 107:35-36
But be sure to fearthe LORD and serve him faithfully with all your heart;considerwhat greatthings he has done for you. - 1 Samuel 12:24
Your righteousness reaches to the skies, O God, you who have done great things. Who, O God, is like you? - Psalm 71:19
The LORD has done great things for us, and we are filled with joy. - Psalm 126:3
Be not afraid, O land; be glad and rejoice. Surely the LORD has done great things. - Joel 2:21
Now, take a few minutes to think about some of the great things God has done for you. Grab a journal or your note-taking app and make a list. Be sure to praise Him for all of these GREAT THINGS.

Risk vs Reward, taking an interest, and March review #1
"What should be more important to the portfolio investor: staking so as to maximise profits or to defend our banks?"
Well Mark, the answer to this - and this is not a cop out, I promise - is that if you get your staking right then it should automatically lead to both the protection of your bank and it should give you the best chance possible of maximising your profits.
I have already discussed the factors to take into account when determining the appropriate size of your bank, and by setting it up in this way (ie. roughly twice the size of the relevant service's lengthiest historical drawdown) you should have an adequate buffer against the worst that the gambling fates can throw at you. Hence the 'Protection' box is ticked.
Following on from this, the 'Maximising of returns' box should be ticked quite naturally. If the service you are following has a long-term edge, then the idea is to simply ensure that you stay in the game. AT ALL COSTS. If you stay in the game, then when the edge that your service enjoys manifests itself in tangible profits, you will be benefiting from it. Assuming you worked out the projected returns based on historical roi achieved prior to subscribing, and you therefore know that when this level has been hit you will be clearing a profit acceptable after the deduction of fees (if it doesn't, then why were you subscribing in the first place?), then by staying in the game, you will ultimately maximise your profits simply by ensuring that you are in there when you should be. If your bank is too small, and you go bust, you won't be in a position to rake in the profits when they eventually arrive.
Mark was obviously drinking deeply from the well of curiosity last week. Not content with asking just the one question, he followed up with another...
"My next question is: what level of knowledge do you have to have about a sport before adding a tipster from that sport to your portfolio?"
To answer this one, I can only turn to Andy, who in response to this sent in an answer that sums up my own feelings to a tee and makes the relevant points in such a succinct way it can't be bettered. So I shan't try.
Andy said:
"I feel this is down to an each individuals comfort levels again.
To me, as long as i know what the area/sport is and the basic nature of the sport, it doesn't bother me how much or little i know about the area/sport.
The reason for this is because the tipster has to have a proven record for providing profitable tips. To me it is an investment at the end of the day and not an interest. If it was purely for interest i would treat it as a hobby (which i don't).
Some people though, may only be comfortable staking on sports that they know about. I knew nothing of darts players last year, but i know the sport (if you can call it that) and the basics of it, yet i subscribed to a well thought of and proven tipster because it had great potential to make me money.
To me, if its a well run tipster service and shows good results over the long term i am happy to subscribe."
Spot on, Andy.
There seems to be a lot to talk about at the moment, so I'm going to do my March review bit by bit, looking at two or three services each day. In any month when I make a trading profit of £1k or more (before fees), then I can't complain. At £1,098 for March (roi of 7.74%) then I would describe the performance as average. Not great, but not too shabby either. Certainly an improvement on what had preceded it in 2011.
ProBandit: Staked 23.275pts, +3.829pts, roi 15.08% (2011: staked 84.125pts, +0.678pts, roi 0.8%)
A much better month for ProBandit. Call me clairvoyant, but my comments in the February review for ProBandit included this statement: "perhaps Paul is beginning to rediscover his mojo...I have high hopes for ProBandit in March". And so it proved. Not a spectacular month for Paul, but solid and consistent, just as I like it. The service starts March more or less level for 2011 so far, so let's hope that this is really the start of it's year and that more consistent profits are just around the corner.
Winning Racing Tips: Staked 13.8pts, +7.578pts, roi 54.91% (2011: staked 47pts, +7.337pts, roi 15.61%).
WRT was the most profitable and best performing (judged on roi achieved) racing service in March, hitting an astounding 55% roi. This is the sort of service where real patience is required. The last six months or so had really been a case of standing still, but as I mentioned in last month's review, sometimes standing still is a good thing. It can put you in a position where you can really reap the benefits of the good times, and a good run is certainly something WRT enjoyed in March.
Chasemaster: Staked 12.125pts, +4.459pts, roi 36.78% (2011: staked 36pts, +7.679pts, roi 36.78%).
You know I've really enjoyed Chasemaster this last month. With the exception of one bet (which placed and produced a small return) they steered clear of the madness and mayhem that is Cheltenham, and simply got on with what they are good at...and they were very good at it in March. I have got used to the service now and have settled into a nice rhythm with them. The only thing that remains is for me to get the staking right as I feel I may just be understaking them a tadge. I'm not making any adjustments just yet, but it is something that I have my eye on. A small rise may be necessary, we'll see.
Today's Action
An underwhelming day today. Five racing services in action with none bombing out but four of them each contributing small losses which added up to equal an unpleasant loss at the end.
The only successful service was Northern Monkey whose only tip finished third (Ajjaadd - Windsor - 11/2) and thus produced a very small profit.
ProBandit did actually find a winner (Ya Hafed - Folkestone - 9/2) but with other results ended with a small loss.
Winning Racing Tips gained a return on an each way double, but also had one finish out of the frame so another small loss there.
Firing blanks this afternoon were On The Nose with two small win bets and Chasemaster with one small each way selection.
Northern Monkey: Staked 0.75pts, +0.14pts.
ProBandit: Staked 1.75pts, -0.375pts.
Chasemaster: Staked 0.25pts, -0.25pts.
On The Nose: Staked 1pt, -1pt.
Winning Racing Tips: Staked 1pt, -0.448pts.
Total financial loss on the racing of £74.07.
Monday 4th April: Staked £180, -£74.07.
Week to date: Staked £180, -£74.07.
Month to date: Staked £2,803, -£878.99, roi -31.35%.
Right then. Likely to be fairly late posting over the next couple of days. Will be hooked to the Champions League footie.

Hi RowanReplyDelete
Once again you (and Andy) have exceeded my expectations.
With regards to my risk v's reward question, I can see exactly where you are coming from when referring to getting the staking right to protect our banks, I suppose it is all down to the individuals own attitude to risk, what may be an acceptable level of risk for one person, may be far to an uncomfortable level for another.
I like your idea of having a buffer that is the equivalent to twice the maximum drawdown that a service has experienced, but I don't know how comfortable I would be with my bank for one of the services that I am following drawing down by up to 50%. I suppose it all depends how much experience you have with handling that kind of situation and also how big a part of your portfolio the service represents.
With regards to my question regarding what level of knowledge we need to have about a sport before adding a tipster from that sport to my portfolio; I think that Andy's Question was spot on if all you are doing is treating running your portfolio as just a vehicle to make money.
However from my point of view, I have two equally important reasons for running my portfolio lite:
The first reason is as an investment vehicle and in that regard there is no real need for any prior knowledge of the sport that the tipster operates in. However I did write that I have two equally important reasons for running the portfolio and the second reason is that I want to use the portfolio (by that I mean the tipsters within it) to learn how to become a better sports speculator in my own write by watching and learning from how the tipsters operate within their niche, in fact I would go as far as saying that my ultimate goal would be that I want to become totally independent in regards to developing my skills so that I could become sufficiently profitable in my own right. So for me learning as much about the sports involved is a main priority.
Thanks again for the great advice.
Oh yes, I nearly forgot, I have a new question that I have been pondering this week: The question is when looking at tipsters to follow how much importance to you put into looking at the timing and delivery of the tips from potential tipsters? What I mean is if you found a tipster that ticked all of your box's with regards to profitability, but the times the tips were sent out were not very convenient, how much effort would you be prepared to make to fit the service into the portfolio.
Thanks again
Hi Mark,ReplyDelete
I'd love to take credit for the idea of determining the size of the bank required for a service by looking at the deepest historical drawdown, but in the interests of fairness, I have to attribute that to the SBC; that's where I got it from.
Naturally, you would feel uncomfortable with a 50% drawdown on a service. Looking at 2011 figures, PJA NH has had a drawdown of more than 50% of the bank and Football Elite wouldn't be far away. What would be a much bigger test though is if your entire bank was at 50%. I'm currently just above being level for 2011 (before fees are deducted) despite the severe underperformance by these two services. That is the advantage of the portfolio approach - by diversifying you are spreading the risk. Yes it is possible that all services underperform at the same time, but statistically it is much less likely to happen. If an investor doesn't want to face this level of risk, then no matter how big their bank was for each service, I would question whether the portfolio approach is the right one for them at all. Just to show that this is not just brave words, I resubscribed to PJA the day before yesterday.
I'm afraid that I could not and can not give you an answer about the level of knowledge someone needs in a sport to be able to absorb knowledge and develop an edge for themselves. I'm simply not qualified to and have no experience in this at all, so I can't comment. My methodology is fundamentally different - it involves identifying which service has a discernible edge at something and then trying to take advantage of it. When The Form Analyst was operating, the write ups on each selection were incredibly detailed. Yes, I learnt about horse racing by reading it, but did I learn the skill involved in race reading? No. Why not? Because running a portfolio properly, for me, is all consuming, particularly as it grows, and it needed all my attention.
Practicality of a service? Good blog post in there, I feel. :)
All the best, Mark.
Yeah good stuff once again Rowan. SBC have to take the credit for the 50% drawdown method. Though i have a little part i'd like to add to this.ReplyDelete
Having a double bank of the worst losing run is an excellent way of protecting your bank from a worst case scenario. What i want to mention is how much risk-potential profit.
The SBC had an article a while ago about compounding stakes. This is increasing/decreasing stakes in accordance with your bank going up/down. For example your start with £1000 and 100pt bank. A 1pt bet would be £10. So say you bet a horse to win at 5/1 and your bank increases to £1050. Your next 1pt stake would be £10.50.
This is a great strategy to increase your winnings but also makes you more susceptible to losing greater amounts on a losing run.
My personal method is to compound every time my bank takes a new high. You may wander if this too risky? I don't think so, because i already have my safety barrier in doubling the worst losing run. Another losing run of greater effect could happen but a minimal chance at that.
It does all depend on the odds the tipster averages at. A service that produces tips mainly around evens will have shorter losing runs and a more accurate idea of those runs, whereas a golf tipster who averages 50/1 shots can have a very different set of losing runs and could take many years to figure out what a very worst run could look like.
I hope this all makes sense and my personal view has come across. As long as i have a suitable safety barrier, i don't need any more. I would say i was a medium risk sports bettor. I think by being low risk i would miss out on too much opportunity. My view may well change in a few years when i have a lot more capital to work with.

Giant Ws all the way – The Web Awards are back, get nominating, get sponsoringTuesday, August 18th, 2009
Off ye go to nominate your favourite websites. Don't be shy about nominating your own work. Some people were "shocked, surprised and disappointed" (direct quote from an email) that the Wizards behind the Web Awards didn't consider them. One needs to be nominated, don't assume your Mam will do it for you.
Sponsorship opportunities are available though going fast.
And this sums up what a No Black Tie event means:
Rent in the Olympia was most excellentFriday, June 19th, 2009
"Not bad for DCU students" is a bit patronising for what is one of the best musicals I've seen. These kids rock at this. While the material is decades old and probably out of sync with life today, the numbers, costumes and talent were something else. One of the most entertaining shows around, thank you to all those who put it together as I'm on a high from the energy of it. Shame some people in the audience were physically reacting with horror because the musical has gay and lesbian characters. They kiss, get over it.
Ze Frank is talking at the Science Gallery on FridaySunday, April 12th, 2009
Here's a reminder of Ze who starts off with a song about ugly mySpaces and then riffs on cheap design tools used by the masses scare the shit out of the design gatekeepers:
Stop, now, what's that soundFriday, March 13th, 2009
Sometimes, starting a blog post with some music gets people into into the frame of mind you want. So if you could, play the vid, it's the music not the images that matter, and then scroll to the rest of the text:
In recent chats with everyone on Twitter, blogs and in person, we've been talking about massive growths of online activity. Blogging, well, the Blog Awards show that blogging is mainstream, it ain't just the nerds now. Facebook, 545k people on it now in Ireland. At a recent Bord Bia event, Jane from Thinkhouse was also saying that there's been something like a silent Tipping Point, people now get the whole idea that online is a place, it's a function. The constant hard work convincing companies that they need to engage with people online is a little less graft now. I know with my own work I've been getting people and companies contacting me pretty much every day asking me to do work for them and they know they need to do so. They don't want convincing to blog or to market on Facebook, they just want to know how to do it and what way to do it. Businesses are getting it.
And then there's Twitter. Never have I heard a tech hyped as much except for maybe the iPhone. Every bloody media organisation is talking about it and for those on it for ages we're going "so?" but again, if we stop and step back, it's an amazing place. An iPhone can improve your life, so can Twitter. Watch the snarky people guffaw at that!
Heather's two twitter messages confirm that the community feeling some get with blogging is on steroids for Twitter:
There is a very interesting feeling of togetherness on Twitter and on other places online. Shared experiences you might call them. I'm almost reminded of the English and the Blitz except it's not people together because of being bombed. People tell you they failed their driving test and the group gives them a hug, people celebrate a new job and they get cheered, they say something stupid and get corrected or challenged, they ask for information and they get it in abundance. With the right followers and it seems in Ireland most people are in that demographic, Twitter is a very nurturing place to be. This is one reason as to why it's taking off faster than blogs, faster than Facebook.
You hear all this waffle on radio shows "but I don't want to know what someone had for breakfast", well it's not being informed about what you had, it's a textual description of what is happening, you are there in their space but also on Twitter. It's like a game of Sims but via text bursts and it's real life. Some people are getting it though. 12,000 Irish people are getting it since they're on Twitter though that's a convservative number, it's surging way faster than the 23% growth from Facebook last month too.
You also get the knockers saying that this stuff is antisocial and keeping people away from people. Bollox. Ask Anthony. More kids have more friends because of tech than any time before. The more friends and takes on life a kid and an adult has, the more world experienced they'll be.
I despise the term social media due to all the snakeoilers talking it up and abusing the idea of it but we seem to be at some turning point where humanity is getting to shine through more in business and life because of these social-minded tools. And they're not forcing us to be kind or nice or helpful, we're doing that, the tools are just letting us send these sentiments to wider groups not based on geography. So you know world, despite the polar icecaps disappearing, employment declining, murderers back on the job in Northern Ireland and a rougher world, we're doing pretty damned well and some tech is helping us along.
I'm playing the song again. Happy Friday the 13th!

Where else but the Irish Blog Awards? I've stuck up an overdue thank you post on the Awards blog to say thanks. I'm totally biased here but seriously, what a fun event. Got some great emails from people saying it was in a different league or a different world to most awards shows. I guess the Blog Awards are a fun event with an awards show in the middle more than a pure awards show.
Giant Inflatable Twister:
We got it from Bob over at Irish Inflatables. Maybe someone should chat to Bob about tarting up the site?
The original idea was to build a giant ball pit but the balls proved too expensive.
From my own experience attending events and awards shows, I think they actually beat down peoples' personalities instead of bringing them out. The suits and tuxes and standard MC and denying people the right to say thank you to the people that got them to the winning podium, it takes the humanity away. A few hundred quid for the experience shuts out more people that deserve a show too. So the Blog Awards and hopefully the Web Awards make people relaxed and enable them to have fun and when you have fun and are relaxed you can network. Everyone should be able to network. Friendships begin or get stronger at the Blog Awards. I hope the same will happen at the Web Awards. Where personal relationships are built, business relationships can follow, not the other stuffy way.
I suggested before the Awards that Ciara bring her work uniform (a wedding dress). A midway-through-the-event decision and we decided that Ciara would walk down the aisle at the end to the sound of Billy Idol singing "White Wedding" and present Rick with the Grand Prix Winner Gold Envelope. And she did. Another thing about Awards, make them flexible so you can change things around.
And a quick sweep around before the event started:
This is my fav video too for the intro of Best Technology Blog:
Of course with this type of expectation management, people are already demanding a bigger, better and crazier 2010 Blog Awards. Ok…
Vids from the Blog Awards HotelTuesday, January 20th, 2009
I went up to the Blog Awards Hotel today (Cork Airport International Hotel) to take some videos in order to show a few people what it will be like.
This first video is how it looks as if you are looking out the main door. Check-in for the hotel is on the first floor.
This is how it looks behind the stairs in the coffee/meeting area. Check out their hair salon!
We'll have access to this whole area before and after the Awards ceremony.
This is the cloakroom/registration area:

FINANCIAL REPORTS Stelter/Neary 4-0 pass
PRESENTATION OF CLAIMS Neary/ Stelter 4-0 pass
MAYOR – Mayor Woods reported that he has spent a lot time in the past month dealing with the wastewater project issues and change orders. There was a stop work order while waiting on parts and supplies and a few changes requiring change orders. He also met with a representative from Orton Foundation and discussed the grant money for paying the coach for Heart and Soul.
PUBLIC WORKS-Dan Uski has been working with Sierra out on personal medical leave. The sander is working and has been used a couple of times, Culverts have all been cleaned and inspected this past week. There are a few that have been identified that need replaced or repaired.

FIRE DEPT- No fire calls this month, more than 20 ambulance calls but the majority of them were in the first 2 weeks of the month.
POLICE- Officer Pfleger presented written police report.
COUNCIL- Councilman Neary explained that he had been made aware of an ongoing issue regarding public documents and privacy concerns for consumers. Mayor Woods explained that this information Whitsett was looking for was not an actual document and that it was customer information that Mayor Woods felt was private. He stated the town attorney had weighed in on the issue and they both felt the information was private. Mayor Woods explained that an audit of the system by town employees found several properties in which there were 2 or more units, and 2 or more electric meters and therefore, per ordinance, they would be required to pay an additional fee. Letters were sent out prior to an increase in their bill. He explained that the town has to be fair when charging for use. Whitsett expressed that she disagreed with Mayor Woods about the information being private and was said she was asking for the names of those who were sent letters. There was continued discussion between the Mayor and Council and Mayor Woods stated he did not feel there was a compelling reason to give out the customer information and would not give out the information until compelled to do so by a district court judge. Neary brought up MCA 27-2-211(2) [statute of limitations], and the concept of 'grandfathering,' — and indicated both should also be addressed when considering this matter –an ordinance enforcement action— before any final decision was made.
Neary moved on with the zoning review that has been happening over the past few months and stated he felt there was a need to talk about tiny homes and more than one building on a lot during these reviews and that this needs to be a priority.
CLERK – Judge is at mandatory new judge training and will be seeking reimbursement at the next council meeting, Received a notice form the state that the 2016 audit must be submitted by December 31, 2018, AFR for 2018 is in progress but will be completed by Magda Nelson instead of Jessica Connelly, Once AFR is complete we will know if we have to do an audit for 2018 or a financial review based on revenue for the fiscal year.

Christianity in Orthodox and Armenian Apostolic (almost all Armenians live in the break-away region of Nagorno-Karabakh). There is also a small ethnic Azerbaijani Protestant Christian community most of them came from Muslim backgrounds.[2][3]
There are eleven Molokan communities. The Molokans are a Christian minority which, much like Protestants in Western Europe, center their beliefs on the Bible and reject church hierarchy. 2.5% of the population (1998) belong to the Russian Orthodox Church (1998). The Russian Orthodox Church has the Eparchy of Baku and the Caspian region with a seat in Azerbaijan. Among the famous landmark Russian churches are Church of Michael Archangel, Holy Myrrhbearers Cathedral and Alexander Nevsky Cathedral destroyed by the communists at the beginning of the 20th century.
There is only one Roman Catholic congregation. A Roman Catholic church in Baku was opened in 2007.
The Albanian-Udi Church is of the Udi people minority in Azerbaijan.
There is a German Lutheran community, likely to number less than 7,000 Georgian Orthodox community and churches.
The Armenian Apostolic Church currently has no community outside the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic. Before the outbreak of the war, Armenians formed the largest Christian population. The Armenian churches in Azerbaijan remain closed, because of the large outmigration of Armenians and fear of Azerbaijani attacks.[4] During the Nagorno-Karabakh War, despite the constitutional guarantees against religious discrimination, numerous acts of vandalism against the Armenian Apostolic Church have been reported throughout Azerbaijan.[5] At the height of atrocities against the Armenian minorities in Baku in 1990, the Armenian Church of St. Gregory Illuminator in Baku was set on fire,[6] but was restored in 2004 and is not used anymore. The Church of St. Gregory Illuminator is the only remaining Armenian church in Baku, all other Armenian churches have been demolished in the 1990s.
