Adding Up Should Be Child's Play for Fund Managers.
Date Published: 26 May 2017
Category: Investment
According to the Cambridge dictionary, the word 'aggregate' means 'something formed by adding together several amounts or things'. Not complicated for fund managers you might have thought, but it would seem to have totally outwitted their UK trade body, the Investment Association (IA).
They are seeking to avoid important legislation that is due to come into force in January 2018 that will be a gamechanger for consumer transparency, hence protection. Known as MiFID II[1] this regulation will require the industry to show the total amount of ALL charges faced by their clients (i.e. the aggregate of all costs and charges) and to show the impact of these costs and charges on their returns.
Here is the legal requirement that the UK investment management self-interested and conflicted association wants its members to fragrantly breach:
"The information about all costs and charges, including costs and charges in connection with the investment service and the financial instrument, which are not caused by the occurrence of underlying market risk, shall be aggregated to allow the client to understand the overall cost as well as the cumulative effect on return of the investment, and where the client so requests, an itemised breakdown shall be provided."
It is hardly surprising that this anti-consumer, anti-transparency IA trade-body's former CEO admitted[2] that the investment industry had been misleading investors for over 20 years and was then reportedly fired[3] for trying to get his members to put clients' interests ahead of their own.
No doubt, many of their largest members are worried about the effect of having to tell their clients how much their total charges actually amounted to, not just as a percentage (aggregated) but in actual pounds (aggregated).
What could the IA do?
Well, it would seem that someone at the IA, let's call him Baldrick, came up with a cunning plan – Baldrick sought to completely ignore the forthcoming black and white law on charges and replace this with a new 'transparency' code designed to:
- a) not show the total
- b) not show the cumulative effect of costs on their returns and most importantly
- c) not be in a format that a typical client might understand.
Once this was achieved Baldrick suggested that they could then pressure the UK regulator (the FCA) into adopting this completely worthless code into their rulebook. The IA applauded Baldrick on his excellent but very cunning plan and set out on their new template for showing charges to investors.
Here is the suggested layout that Baldrick and colleagues managed to produce for any investor in a pooled fund i.e. unit trusts etc.[4], to understand their fees and charges:
What could be simpler?
Within this bewildering template produced by the Investment Association[5], you will not find the total cost of investing anywhere. They have interpreted this new transparency regulation in a format where too much information is dazzling, and they are still clinging to the belief that not all costs are really costs and better either to:
- a) not to show clients the real total or
- b) show parts of the overall costs separately so clients don't add them to the other costs in order to get the real number.
You might say this is erring on the side of dishonesty. I couldn't possibly comment.
You also won't find some of the other key elements of the future legislation within their new code e.g. knowing the cumulative effect of costs on their returns with a full explanation.
Will the UK regulator be fooled by this last desperate roll of the dice by Baldrick, sorry the IA. Only time will tell but here is one more point I would like to mention.
Many of the largest UK fund management companies pay for the Investment Association highly trained spinners[6]. The IA received just under £11m in revenue in 2015, of which £774k was paid to their CEO. Every time the IA produces another piece of worthless research, sooner or later it tends to be widely discredited, further damaging the already even tarnished reputation of the UK investment industry which ironically the IA goes to absurd lengths to protect (at any cost).
Last year, the IA managed to plumb new depths, by producing a report entitled "Hidden Fund Fees: The Loch Ness Monster of Investments?"[7]. This report was intellectually dishonest, highly misleading and completely bereft of substantive analysis. Its findings were based on an arbitrary 2 year and 10-month period and incorporated non-existent fund performance data and misleading benchmark comparisons. The resultant deluge of criticism of this report was even more than usual.
Today, the IA is seeking to reach new depths – hoping to deprive investors of the basic right of knowing exactly what they are paying. A situation that was identified by the industry regulator 17 years ago.
This is contemptible.
Here are the IA Board members. I would suggest their clients should be asking them directly why the IA seeks to continue hiding fees. Rather than the IA attempting to hoodwink consumers, the Board should force the IA to mandate that its members act in a morally, ethically and legally correct manner regarding fees and charges – that means that from January 2018 they must force their members to show all the charges and add all of them up.

St. Louis • MyKayla Skinner had some walking to do.
After leading the No. 5 Red Rocks to Saturday's Super Six final at the NCAA gymnastics championships, the sophomore took the same jaunt around the Chaifetz Arena on five different occasions. That's what happens when you're that good, that dominant. Skinner finished in the top five in every event in Friday's semifinal, including the all-around.
A year after winning the national title in floor exercise, she was one of three gymnasts to share the national championship in vault. Skinner's 9.9375 on vault made her the co-national champion in the event with Oklahoma's Brenna Dowell and Florida's Alex McMurtry.
And for a second straight year, she finished as the all-around runner-up (39.7250) to Oklahoma star Maggie Nichols (39.8125), who repeated as the NCAA all-around champ.
"Never thought that was going to happen, because you can never know what can happen each meet," Skinner said. "Overall, it was a really good meet and I'm really happy with how I did and how I helped the team and I'm just ready to go back at it tomorrow."
Skinner also finished tied for third on bars (9.9250), second in beam (9.9250) and tied for third on floor (9.9375).
"It's been a dream come true," she said of being honored with individual titles. "Winning a lot of stuff last year, it is kind of stressful having to redeem yourself from last year, and I kind of just wanted to go out there and have fun like I've been doing all season, just to see where that takes me."
Skinner earned first-team All-America honors in every event but bars, in which she earned second-team honors. Sophomore Missy Reinstatdler earned second-team All-America honors in all-around while freshman Sydney Soloski earned second-team honors on floor.
Syd the Kid
The only lineup decision up in the air entering Friday night's semifinal at the 2018 NCAA gymnastics championships was no longer a question mark when the rotations were announced.
Soloski was chosen as the third gymnast to compete on Utah's balance beam portion of the evening. Earlier this week, Utah co-head coaches Megan Marsden and Tom Farden narrowed down the candidates for that final spot to Soloski, fellow freshman Alexia Burch and junior Shannon McNatt. Soloski, who grew up in Calgary, Alberta, won out.
Soloski scored a 9.75 on the beam in her nationals debut. On the floor, she put down a huge score for the Utes, netting a 9.9125. She finished with second-team All-American honors on the floor.
"I was put beam lineup really late in the season and my job was to stay on the beam," she said, "so that's why I'm there. I'm consistent in practice. I was just like, 'Syd, do what you do every day and you'll be OK.'"
Red Rocks loyalty
Arguably the most fervent fan base in collegiate gymnastics showed up in the Gateway City this week.
Less than two hours before the second semifinal kicked off inside the Chaifetz Arena, a message in the sky could be read from quite a ways away. A plane pulled a massive red "Go Utes!" flag around the St. Louis area. It circled around the area of Saint Louis University and later downtown St. Louis before the No. 5 Red Rocks began their quest to the Super Six final Saturday evening.
According to Utah athletics, 220 tickets were sold to Utes fans who made the trek to St. Louis. Fans also held a tailgate in one of the lots outside the arena.

Carnival Plans $200 Mln Cruise Ship Makeover
Carnival Cruise Line will spend nearly $200 million on a major makeover of the 1999-built Carnival Triumph. The bow-to-stern renovation will add a number of new Carnival branded food, beverage and entertainment options, as well as updates to all staterooms.
The nearly 20-year-old ship will enter drydock in Cadiz, Spain for a two-month-long refurbishment staring March 1, 2019. Afterwards, the ship will join Carnival's Sunshine class and will be named Carnival Sunrise.
Christine Duffy, president of Carnival Cruise Line, said, "The introduction of Carnival Sunrise will provide our guests with an array of exciting dining, bar and entertainment choices. The new Carnival Sunrise is part of our multibillion-dollar ship enhancement program that is transforming our fleet on an unprecedented scale."
Following a renaming ceremony, Carnival Sunrise will reenter service with a series of five- to seven-day voyages from Norfolk, Va., beginning April 29, a summer schedule of four- to 14-day departures from New York commencing May 23, then move to Fort Lauderdale in October.

Defining an viewers section by conventional demographics is fine for traditional media like magazines, newspapers and TELEVISION. The audience segments are nicely understood, but critically the audiences are passive, they devour the media. So on one current bike, he purchased one which was a scaled down model of a totally loaded and costlier mannequin. He reasoned that he may just buy aftermarket accessories and add them as he went along. A whole bunch and hundreds of dollars of accent purchases later—which necessitate service calls to the vendor about 60 miles away—he realizes that he really spent nearly as a lot on the stripped down model plus equipment as he would have simply buying the absolutely loaded version on the outset. What a problem!

The advertising and marketing community for Infiniti-branded automobiles now contains over 230 dealers in over 15 nations. The possibly most common degree specifically designed for the automotive industry is automotive engineering. An automotive engineer focuses on parts of mechanical, electrical, electronic, software program and security engineering These things are applied to the design, manufacture and operation of anything from motorcycles and cars to vehicles and buses.
Expertise :I completed my graduation from UPES in 2016. My journey with Xebia started 6 months back as a Trainee. Xebia is a passionate group. They provde the flexibility to modify to the domain you want to work on. The company is very much open to adopting new technologies. They provide a terrific career alternative as well as development. Cannot get higher than this for a brisker. But, going through such real life situation was easier because of the publicity and schooling I acquired at UPES. UPES always strives to bridge the gap between the course curriculum and industrial requirements. This provides a stable foundation and prepares the coed for the real world.
I haven't had any ESL/ELL students. If I had, I would need someone with them to pair one-on-one. My program is a harmful place to be with a dozen teenagers running round unsupervised. Close contact with all of my case managers ensures that no single scholar co-opts all of my time. In any other case everyone pays. Often occasions, peer partnering is my best asset. Students, despite their front and swag and all that crap, are inclined to take care of one another. Especially in a small, supportive group that shares the identical interests and goals.

He may be from humble East End roots but Sir Alan Sugar has achieved a net worth of over £800m. He is ranked at 84th in the 2007 Sunday Times Rich List.
The son of a tailor, Alan Sugar left school at the age of 16, when he started selling car aerials and electric goods out of a van he bought for £100. At the age of 21 he founded Amstrad (Alan Michael Sugar TRADing). Two years later he was manufacturing low-priced hi-fi turntable covers and in 1980, Amstrad was floated on the London Stock Exchange.
The 80s was a boom time for Sir Alan, with his company's share price doubling in value every year. In 1986 he launched a word processor with an affordable price tag which took Europe by storm. Keeping up with the times, he now produces set top boxes and personal video recorders.
Sir Alan became Chairman of Tottenham Hotspur FC in 1991, and up until last year he was their biggest single shareholder. In July 2007, Sugar sold his Amstrad empire to Sky but remains Chairman. Amstrad's sister companies, Amsair, which offers business and executive jets to a number of high profile clients around the world, and Amsprop, an investment firm which he owns with his son, Daniel, keep Sugar in the business world and The Apprentice keeps him in the public eye.
In 2000, Sugar was knighted for his services to business. He holds two honorary Doctorates of Science degrees, awarded by City University and Brunel University respectively. He is a philanthropist for a number of charities including Great Ormond Street Hospital, the Hackney Empire and Jewish Care. He has now been recruited to the government's Treasury Industry Team where he is an advisor to Gordon Brown on youth enterprise. Now aged 61, Sugar is still at the top of his game.

For most of us work dominates our lives, regardless of if we are doing a job we enjoy or not, or earning a good or bad salary. It is suggested that work occupies 75% of our waking hours – which includes all working activities, from getting ready for work, driving to work, working, driving home and anything extra we do for our jobs.
What is astounding is the fact that most people spend more time planning a holiday than they have ever spent on planning their actual career. I kid you not. This could account for why only 18% of people are actually enjoying their jobs
Talk to any successful person and they will tell you that they had a career goal/s in place supported by a strategy and set in place the actions to achieve them. They also no doubt worked dam hard to get where they are, both working on and in their careers. In turn they generally experience both personally satisfying and financially successful careers.
Taking a proactive approach to career management combined with dedicating time and energy into understanding what it is that drives you and setting in place the motions to achieve results is very empowering. This exercise 'Looking to make a job or career change' offers a good starting point.
It does take courage, plus time and sometimes money to achieve the career you want, however given how much of our lives work occupies and that fact that it is how we derive our income it is surely worth it.
You can access lots of great free career resources via the Six Figures site. And/or alternatively you can engage professional support from a Career Coach or Strategist like myself to help get you on your way.
Remember, life is too short to be doing a job you don't enjoy!

Musk Expresses Pessimism On Climate Change (w/Video)
Speaking with MSNBC host Chris Hayes recently. Elon Musk said he is pessimistic about slowing or reversing the effects of carbon pollution on global climate change. Doing so will require an effective means of pricing carbon emissions agreed to and implemented by all nations, he told Hayes. In his remarks, Musk made reference to what economists call "the tragedy of the commons."
According to Wikipedia, that is a "situation within a shared-resource system where individual users acting independently according to their own self-interest behave contrary to the common good of all users by depleting that resource through their collective action." Another way to put it is the popular expression, "Everybody's property is nobody's property."
In an agrarian society, if public lands are made available for grazing, farmers will use them to feed their herds in order to lower their own costs of production. Some will overuse the privilege in order to deny the benefit of free grazing land to their neighbors. Ultimately, all the grass will be eaten and the animals will starve. The analogy to how mankind treats the earth should be obvious to anyone with more than a 3rd grade education (which excludes the majority of the US Congress, sadly).
Musk uses an analogy to offshore fishing grounds. "Since no one owns a particular fishing area, it will get fished to extinction — because there's no price for that." No one owns the earth's atmosphere, he points out, leaving it open to a similar fate. "There's no price for carbon, so we do all these things that cause long-term damage," he said.
The task is huge. The vast majority of the world's transportation and manufacturing base relies on burning fossil fuels. Trillions of dollars worth of investments have been made in carbon-based enterprises. Naturally, those who have invested all that money don't want to see any changes that threaten the status quo. But Musk says things must change because the ability of the oceans and the atmosphere to absorb any more carbon emissions is rapidly coming to an end.
Many people believe that mankind can innovate its way out of the coming crisis. Musk agrees the free market can work wonders but only if the game is not rigged. By failing to put a market price on carbon, people and corporations are free to spew as much carbon dioxide into the atmosphere as they wish without any financial penalty.
"I'm ordinarily quite a big believer in the market — because the market is just the sum of individual decisions. But when there's a breakdown in the market, that's where things go awry," he said. The lack of a price on carbon is just such a breakdown. "It makes things that are carbon producing very rewarding, because the true price is not being paid," Musk says.
Is there any hope? If you look at the number of people who firmly believe climate change is a gigantic hoax perpetrated by communists, socialists, and liberals, the answer is no. But just this week, China and the United States both confirmed their commitment to the Paris climate change agreement.
In a few days, the annual G20 economic summit will take place in Hangzhou, China. Leading up to that meeting, a group of 130 investors with assets worth more than $13 trillion have penned a letter to world leaders urging them to initiate carbon pricing measures that would level the playing field between carbon and non-carbon enterprises. Once the market has the correct pricing signals, Musk believes that innovation in zero-carbon technology will explode.
Right now, because there is no cost associated with putting more carbon emissions into the atmosphere, a person can make a "tremendous amount of money" being a petrochemical engineer, Musk told Hayes. Once producing carbon emissions becomes more costly, people will switch to promoting zero-emissions technologies.
There is not a moment to lose, Musk believes. With several billion fossil-fueled vehicles on the roads worldwide and with 100,000,000 more new ones sold every year, he says if every new car was electric today, it would still take two decades to replace all the existing vehicles with zero emissions transportation.
A year ago, I was one of those people who thought a "carbon tax" was a drastic and unwise idea, one that would cause the global economy to collapse. Then I went to a presentation hosted by Alan and Jessica Langerman at their home in Wellesley, Massachusetts. The featured speaker was Massachusetts senator Mike Barrett, the sponsor of a bill that would impose a fee on carbon emissions within the state. I was skeptical.
But after Barrett's presentation and a powerful endorsement of his ideas by Jessica Langerman, I started to open my mind to the concept. Then I saw Elon Musk's simple but brilliant address to an audience at the Sorbonne during the Paris climate change summit. The clarity of his argument opened my eyes.
When I realized that the International Monetary Fund estimates the total value of all direct and indirect subsidies received by the fossil fuel industries each year exceeds $5 trillion (i.e., is idiotic), I came to see that low- and zero-carbon alternatives were being unfairly excluded from the marketplace of ideas, swept away in the tide of public and private money flowing to the polluters. I decided it was time to change my mind. I am hopeful reading this story and following the links will help you change your mind, too.
There is much to do and very little time to do it in. We are at a tipping point. The cost of renewable energy has plummeted to the point where both solar and wind energy are cheaper than electricity made from burning fossil fuels or splitting atoms. Tesla, with its commitment to building electric cars that people actually want to buy, is sending shock waves through the automobile business. Those waves are having ripple effects in several related industries.
The times really are a'changing. The only questions is, will the change come soon enough and how much is each of us willing to do to make it happen? You can start by refusing to vote for candidates this November who do not support a clean, non-toxic environment for all. Don't waste your vote by thinking there is nothing one person can do. Together, we can make a difference, but first we have to elect leaders who won't kowtow to the fossil fuel industry.

Join NJSO at the many performances and events that celebrate and explore the work of renowned Russian composers.

Winter Festival Kick-Off Event
Week 1: January 9–14
Experience the passion of Sergei Rachmaninoff's Trio élégiaquefor piano, violin and celloand the ancient Russian echoes in his Symphony No. 1. Concerto élégiaque is Kogosowski's own arrangement as a concerto with piano solo, mirroring the trio's movements but adding a distinct style to the work. Scored in 1893 by a young Rachmaninoff in honor of Tchaikovsky's death, the Trio élégiaqueis a haunting piece, brimming with Russian melancholy. "The new setting of the music," Kogosowski says, "allows full scope to the virtuoso role intended by Rachmaninoff for the piano,"
Australian pianist, writer and producer Alan Kogosowski has sustained a varied and illustrious career. In the mid-1980s, he conceived and presented the prestigious London concert series Schubertiades at Sotheby's. These 19th-century style salon concerts soon acquired a cult following, including members of the Royal Family, and became a staple at Sotheby's for ten years. Subsequently relocating to the United States, Kogosowski turned his attention to the works of Rachmaninoff and Chopin. He restored and orchestrated two major works for piano and orchestra by these composers, both of which premiered at the Detroit Symphony Orchestra under the baton of Maestro Järvi. In 2003, these were followed by a six-part New York television series on the life of Frederic Chopin, conceived, written, produced and performed by Kogosowski. The New York Times hailed it as "outstanding" and the series is now available as a double-DVD set.
NJSO has teamed up with the Rutgers Film Co-op/New Jersey Media Arts Center to present a screening of Emerson, Lake & Palmer: Pictures at an Exhibition. The innovative progressive rock band, Emerson, Lake & Palmer, is filmed in 1970 performing a now legendary concert of its rock-influenced arrangement of Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition. This free event will take place at 7 pm on Friday, January 19 on the campus of Rutgers University in New Brunswick. (Scott Hall, Rm. 123, 43 College Avenue.)
Join music professor Dr. Marla Meissner of Montclair State University and Dr. A. G. Nigrin, director and curator of the New Jersey Film Festival, for a pre-screening discussion about classical music's influence on rock music. Discover how bands such as Emerson, Lake & Palmer; The Beatles; Pink Floyd; The Who; and Led Zeppelin created works of art similar to those of classical tradition.
Alexander Markovich is one of today's most well known pianists. Born in Moscow in 1964 into a family of musicians, he studied piano and conducting at Moscow Conservatory. In 1990 he emigrated to Israel, and now splits his time between there and Germany. Markovich began his career as an accompanist to many accomplished soloists including violinists Vadim Repin, Maxim Vengerov, Ida Haendel and Jullian Rachlin; trumpeter Sergey Nakarjakov; tenor Sergey Larin. He has performed at Carnegie Hall, Suntory Hall in Tokyo and Champs Elysee in Paris. London's Strad magazine calls him an ''absolutely outstanding musician."
Week 3: January 22–28
One of the crown jewels for NJSO is the Golden Age Collection. Join the Symphony in a showcase of these rare and historic string instruments on Tuesday, January 23 at 7 pm at the new Dorothy Young Center for the Arts in Madison. Enjoy the warm radiance, powerful tone and deep color of the New Jersey Symphony Orchestra's own Stradivarius, Guarneri del Gésu and Amati string instruments. Discover more through the interactive performance and discussion where a select group of NJSO musicians choose their favorite pieces and perform them on these fine instruments -- part of the largest and most valuable collection of string instruments in the world. The Center is located on the campus of Drew University, 36 Madison Avenue in Madison.
The name refers to the Soviet greats: Mily Balakirev, Alexander Borodin, César Cui, Modest Mussorgsky, and Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov. Beginning in the late 1850s, this group of Russian composers sought to establish a Russian school of composition, distinct from the Western European heritage. They drew upon folk song and dance for their melodic material and avoided Western-style sonata and symphony.
The Mighty Five also looked to art, geography, the imagined and real cultures of the czarist empire, and even some western models they simply could not ignore. Russia's Mighty Five offers a rare opportunity to hear music by each of them in an unusual program with two examples of music originating for piano and later orchestrated by a different composer. Performances take place on Thursday, January 25 at 8 pm at the State Theatre in New Brunswick; Friday, January 26 at 8 pm at the War Memorial in Trenton; Saturday, January 27 at 8 pm and Sunday, January 28 at 3 pm at NJPAC in Newark.
Neeme Jarvi conducts Mussorgsky's The Great Gate of Kiev from Pictures at an Exhibition and Night on Bald Mountain, Cui's Nocturne n F-sharp minor, Balakirev's Islamey, Borodin's "Polovtzian Dances" from Prince Igor, and Rimsky-Korsakov's Scheherazade. Jie Chen is the solo pianist.
Chinese pianist Jie Chen has won numerous piano competitions including the Second International Piano Competition, the Washington International and the Missouri Southern International competitions, as well as top prizes at the Arthur Rubinstein and Santander Paloma O'Shea International competitions. In 2006, she was awarded the Festorazzi Prize from the Curtis Institute for Best Pianist of the Year. Ms. Chen has appeared in concerts and recitals to rave reviews, including her major orchestral debut with the Philadelphia Orchestra under Wolfgang Sawallisch playing the Rachmaninoff Second Concerto in 2001. She has performed at Carnegie Hall and the Kennedy Center as well as the Vienna Chamber Orchestra with Phillippe Entremont, the Sanremo Sifonica in Italy, and the Isreal Philharmonic. Her performances have been broadcast by television and radio throughout the world.

Dog Training > Dog Training > Career in Dog Training
Career in Dog Training
If you love dogs, and I mean really love dogs, then you may want to consider a career in dog training. There are about 65 million "owned" dogs in the United States. Approximately 39 percent of households in America own at least one dog. This represents a huge market and great opportunity for a competent professional dog trainer.
A career in dog training offers independence, a good income, and escape from the cut-back and down-sizing threat. On average, dog trainers currently earn about $20 per hour, but professional dog trainers can earn as much as $150 per hour, depending on their experience and location. One advantage to a career in dog training is that there is relatively no overhead cost associated with starting to work. Once you have the training, your success is determined by your knowledge and skill.
A career in dog training is not only about helping pet owners with behavioral problems. There is also a great need for those who can train working dogs such as police dogs, narcotics search dogs, search and rescue dogs and dogs for the handicapped.
There are several options available to help you prepare for a career in dog training. One way you can get started preparing for a career in dog training is by attending seminars, workshops or conferences on dog training and behavior. These meetings are usually short and relatively inexpensive, so it's a great way to test the waters and confirm your own interest in a career in dog training.
Think about volunteering at an animal shelter. You'll be providing a great service to your local shelter and picking up priceless experience that you can use to decide if you're really cut out for a career in dog training. If you go ahead and begin a career in dog training, your animal shelter volunteer experience will become even more valuable.
Get more information from organizations that are associated with professional dog training, like the American Dog Trainers Network, the Animal Behavior Society, the Association of Pet Dog Trainers, or the National Association of Dog Obedience Instructors.
You can pick up some more great information to prepare for a career in dog training with some reading and video watching at home. Even experienced dog trainers continue to read about new methods and techniques. But just because something is in print doesn't necessarily mean it's true. Filter what you read with common sense and your convictions about dog training. There is also a variety of magazines available with information about a career in dog training, including Dog Fancy, Dog World, the AKC Gazette, and others.
There are stand-alone schools you can attend to start preparing for a career in dog training. These trainers' schools usually last a few months and give hands-on training. Some, like Animal Behavior College, provide at-home study combined with shelter work and a mentor program. Simply attending a trainers' school won't automatically make you a master trainer. You'll need to continue your education through seminars, reading, and above all, years of experience.
You should check with your local college, university, or community college to see if they offer courses or programs in dog training or animal behavior. There are also pure home-study courses that claim to prepare you for a career in dog training, but if you want any long term success, you better make sure to add in plenty of hands-on experience of your own.

Tim Roda
Works / Exhibitions / CV / News
Family Album – Tim Roda
ANGELL GALLERY is pleased to present "Family Album", the second solo show by gallery artist Tim Roda. Featuring seven black and white photographs that depict the artist and his son in a series of carefully staged vignettes, the exhibition offers an exemplary selection of Roda's critically lauded work. The photos read as fragments of an ongoing domestic theatre, teasing viewers with the promise of biographical information yet withholding any clear sense of understanding. Like excerpts torn from a darkly absurd family album, the images are by turns comical, haunting and perplexing, offering hints of personal truth smuggled into symbolically charged images. The works on view do not immediately present themselves as 'realistic' or as having been photographed from life. Rather they announce their construction, whether it's through their rough-hewn material presentation or the ramshackle appearance of the settings and props found in the images. With the exception of Untitled #150, each photograph is set in Roda's studio, which variously doubles as a bedroom, a kitchen, or simply a dank industrial space. There is no attempt to outright deceive the viewer into believing these are actual moments caught on celluloid. The scenes instead feel designed to convey the essence of a memory, where past and present are blended together. A scene like Untitled # 136, for instance, might read as a reconstruction of a holiday-time memory for Roda as an adult or as a child. We are never quite certain who is who in this picture. Are the artist and his son playing themselves? Or are they one generation removed, with Roda playing his own father and his son acting as a younger version of the artist? This ambiguity is further enhanced by the old-fashioned bed frames and wood-paneling backdrop, which give the impression of a 'room' without feeling like a real place. Indeed, the 'room' seems more a suggestion of an interior—a psychological space, almost—where old objects, animals symbols and Christian motifs intermingle to create a magical, timeless atmosphere. The expression on Roda's face contributes to the overall sense of confusion, as if this scene represents a memory (or score of memories) that Roda could never quite figure out for himself. As with much of Roda's work, the shoddy interior in this photograph draws upon his eccentric working-class upbringing in an Italian immigrant family. If his work has a mongrel, Do-It-Yourself feel, it's because the artist is harkening back to family tradition. Roda remembers his grandfather building the family home from recycled materials from their chicken coop, and his father building a garage from other reusable materials. What seems DIY in Roda's work is in fact a nod to this family legacy, when DIY was less fashionably known as economic privation. Knowledge of Roda's personal history goes some way to understanding the meaning of his photographs, but it does not give all the answers. For example, knowing the poverty of his childhood, what are we to make of Untitled #150, which shows the artist and his son in a Mercedes? Is this a tongue-in-cheek reversal of the scarcity of his boyhood, a picture of the affluent boyhood-that-never-was? Is it a send-up of his present day circumstances as an artist on the rise? Or does it in some way represent a genuine longing for a more comfortable lifestyle, a longing made all the more poignant due the economic hardship he suffered in his youth? It's clear that Roda's work is not easy to pin down, but this is what makes it so compelling. Where other artists might strive to relate a literal sense of personal history and fail due to their earnestness, Roda merely drops hints of himself to keep us guessing. In some way, perhaps this approach is more true to life, where one's sense of self more closely resembles a jumble of half-remembered memories that vie for attention in the psyche. It is easy to forgive the playfulness and occasional trickery of a Roda photograph, if only because he seems to forgive the personal pain and perplexity sometimes suggested in his own work. With recent acquisitions by the Essl Collection in Austria and the Hessel Foundation at Bard College Museum, as well as a favorable review in Art in America for his Seattle show at Greg Kucera gallery, Roda continues to earn critical acclaim for his growing body of work. He is profiled in Modern Painter magazine in the spring of 2008, and has shows slated for Art Agents in Hamburg, Germany, Ferenbalm–Gurbruestation, Germany and the Whatcom Museum of Art, Seattle. He has shown his work nationally as well as internationally in Toronto, Seattle, Hamburg, Moscow, Chicago, Las Vegas, Poland, New York and most recently Vienna, Austria. He holds an MFA from the University of Washington in Seattle.

Christmas and new year, plus the few weeks immediately after when people can feel complacent, are the riskiest times of the year for relapse back to alcohol/drugs. Preparations must start in November to avoid a crisis and instead build a template for future healthy, happy christmases. Deirdre Boyd brings advice from established experts in addiction recovery.
Top recovery tips on this page are from Mount Carmel in London which offers aftercare for life.

Download AddictionToday139 – Survive christmas
Sonia Sandhu, deputy CEO of Mount Carmel alcohol-treatment centre, describes how it works with its clients as they approach christmas and New Year.
Whatever time of year an alcoholic begins his or her sobriety, they are often heard to ask "How on earth will I cope with Christmas?". The answer could well be "It is May now, and the principle of one day at a time dictates that we do not worry about christmas until it comes".
Christmas hopefully does come eventually for the alcoholic in early sobriety. So, as the christmas season starts, it is time for planning (but not projection). We take time to work with ex-clients as christmas approaches. Those in very early recovery might still be in our formal ongoing aftercare programme. Those who are not can contact us at any time and get our help and advice – our aftercare is free for life.
So what do these plans look like?
1. People are reminded that what worked through the year still works. At Mount Carmel we set "boundaries" for our clients:
— don't go to licensed premises
— go to fellowship meetings
— help your family to get well around you
— stick with healthy people
— do not form exclusive relationships in early recovery, and
— maintain the healthy living practices we teach that keep "HALT" at bay – and if you are Hungry, Angry, Lonely, or Tired, speak to someone about it at once.
2. We ask that a written relapse prevention plan is prepared which:
— identifies the individual's specific signs that point to a possible relapse
— gives an action plan if these signs begin to occur
— gives an action plan in the event that a drink is taken.
3. We remind clients that "expectations are resentments waiting to happen" and Christmas can be a time of high expectations. We suggest:
— remember the difference between planning and projection, and keep things in the day
— Christmas is about being with family and friends – are you ensuring those around you are having a good time? Remember that humility is not thinking less of yourself, but thinking of yourself less.
— don't overdo the presents – it is tempting to make a big splash to try to make up for times past, but that ramps up the emotional stakes. And it drains the bank. The best present of all is you spending a sober and serene christmas with your family and friends.
4. Finally, the foundations of relapse prevention in early recovery are fellowship meetings. We ask for:
— a list of the meetings that will be attended, checking for any christmas and New Year changes
— a plan of how to get to the meetings, given transport restrictions
— we also check that the ex-client has at least five AA telephone numbers, including a sponsor, and
— we check that they have the numbers of one or two other people in early sobriety who might need a supportive call – the AA principle of helping yourself by helping others.
So yes, the Christmas period is more than "just another day" in early recovery, and needs special planning and attention. In fact, it is one of the two key times when particular vigilance is needed. One of those times is christmastide. And the other is all the rest of the year.

What a ride over the last 6 days.. firstly there has been a virus which absolutely flattened me Wednesday and Thursday by Friday afternoon I was functioning in Elmo mode.. all red n wide eyed, tottering when I walked, with a grimace on my face. I do not know where it came from but I was certainly glad to see the end of it.
Come Saturday I was up helping my son move into his new apartment, doing far to much lifting of heavy objects and feeling like I had been in the spin cycle of the washing machine. By 6pm on Saturday night, I fell into the shower, knowing full well I had done to much but looking forward to my lounge chair and the rare treat of a take away dinner.. yanno when you been lifting and carrin' and helpin' people move house and when your done and buggered - fish and chips taste like manor from the Gods.
Unfortunately, I did't feel that flash this morning either which bugged the daylights out of me, I had HUGE plans of cleaning and mopping and bread making and biccie baking but as a woman presently living with active Rheumatoid Arthritis- I woke feeling a bit like I had square wheels and didn't achieve very much at all. I did what I could, doing a load or two of washing, the beds and and tr bathroom then I gave in to common sense and slowed down, and did a bit of knitting.
The bright spot of the day was the parcel left on my door step this morning. I thought it would have been here last week, but as we have stringent quarantine laws into Western Australia, to keep out anything that would threaten our agriculture or honey industry I wasn't too surprised to see the big QUARANTINE sticker on the box.. so it must have been held up at the border, opened and checked..
I wrote a few weeks ago that I'd love to have a Skype morning tea with anyone who was around at the time. Well, I'm free this coming Saturday morning at 10...

Racing News
|Monday 22nd January 2018
Henderson Happy with Altior
Last season's Racing Post Arkle winner Altior underwent a wind operation late last year to rectify a breathing problem and trainer Nicky Henderson should soon find out if it has had the necessary effect.
He was due to make a seasonal debut in the Betfair Tingle Creek Chase at Sandown on December 9, but Henderson detected a "whistling noise" coming from the eight-year-old and it transpired that it was an issue with his larynx, which wasn't opening sufficiently.
After winning the 2016 Supreme Novices' Hurdle, Altior went on to win last season's Racing Post Arkle at the Cheltenham Festival and clinched the jumps trainers' championship for Nicky Henderson with a superb victory in the bet365 Celebration Chase at Sandown on April 29.
The goal this season is to win the Queen Mother Champion Chase at Cheltenham in March, and the race is now on to be ready for Prestbury Park.
Most bookmakers have Altior as an even-money or slightly better chance for the Champion Chase however, Ladbrokes announced this week that they will be offering top price on him for a limited time only, quoting a huge price of 7/4.
There are plenty of free bets around, through either signing up for new accounts with bookmakers, or via loyalty rewards.
Competition between online bookies makes betting on the Cheltenham Festival very attractive and betfred cheltenham offers make the challenge of deciding where to place bets much easier. You can find best betting offers here like £20 risk free bet by Paddy Power, or £30 Welcome bonus by William Hill. There many such attracting offers here. One has to just visit online here and start betting.
The 28 races of the Cheltenham Festival are notoriously difficult betting markets to fathom, whereas the Gold Cup, Champion Hurdle, Stayers Hurdle and Champion Chase are usually less daunting when investing your hard-earned cash.
Willie Mullins' Un De Sceaux could be one to upset the party. He won last season's Ryanair Chase and tends to excel at Cheltenham. Odds are also available on the likes of Waiting Patiently, Fox Norton, Great Field, Top Notch, Special Tiara, Top Gamble, Black Hercules and Gary Moore's Ar Mad.
Altior's work at home at Seven Barrows will now be cranked up with the champion trainer admitting he is very close to discovering if the procedure has done the trick.
"Altior's really good and I'm very happy," Henderson said. "He'll be stepping up this weekend, to the point where I suspect I'll nearly know whether I'll hear a noise.
"He'd never made a noise before and wouldn't be making a noise where he is now, but we're nearly getting to the point where he was making one [in November].
Henderson would probably be happy to go straight to Cheltenham without a run, but the Betfair Exchange Chase (Game Spirit) next month at Newbury could come into the reckoning as a interim outing.
The Newbury race is on 10th February and Altior may turn up in a contest he won impressively as a novice in 2017. Henderson would certainly want some work at the track if not in a race.
"Newbury could easily still be on the agenda. No promises, but one thing I would think he'd be doing is coming here for a gallop because he's probably going to need two racecourse gallops and the timing would be perfect for the first one," the trainer added.
Politologue, winner of the Tingle Creek and the Desert Orchid Chase already this season, is around 4/1 to give Paul Nicholls another Queen Mother Champion Chase success while Willie Mullins could land the race for the first time with 7/2 chance Yorkhill.

Those of you who know me realize that I am a big fan of feedback. The very title of my book Do It Wrong Quickly is a snarky way of saying that most of what we do is wrong, and that only by looking for feedback from customers can we realize what is wrong and what actually worked. So, I should be very excited about the announcement today of Yahoo!'s new analytics tool. And mostly, I am. But I am also starting to wonder when fast gets fast enough.
For those of you not following every breaking story on the newswire—what were you doing, anyway, running your business?—Yahoo! acquired a company a few months ago named Indextools, which makes a nice Web analytics engine. Today, Yahoo! announced that it's making it available in a private beta for my favorite price, free.
And that's good. Yes, we already had Google Analytics for free, but competition might keep Google innovating, which would be good. And Yahoo!'s offering might be better than Google's, which would be very good.
But in a quick scan of today's announcement, what jumped out at me was the claim for "real-time data." Instead of waiting 24 or 48 hours to get your data, it shows up in a couple of hours. And that's good, too. After all, who wouldn't want to get their feedback faster?
But I worry that faster feedback might substitute for smarter analysis. Most small businesses don't get enough feedback to decide anything in a few hours. They need days or even weeks of metrics before they can see whether a page change made things better or worse. They just don't get enough traffic to make decisions any faster.
But faster feedback is exciting. It's sexy. It gives us things to talk about. The problem is that what we need is more thinking about the numbers. More tests rather than faster tests. Most small businesses aren't testing enough things as it is—it won't make much difference to get the results faster.
Now, none of this makes Yahoo!'s new tool a problem. It will be a while before many of us get a chance to try it, but I expect it to be very good. But when do we realize that rather than expecting spiffy new tools to rescue us, that instead we must do the hard work of thinking? We need to be willing to make our decisions based on metrics, which means designing alternatives, deciding what are expected outcomes are, and trying them out to see what works better.
Real-time data is great, but it's no substitute for real analysis.

Not fishing cricket watching !
A firing Morgan makes this England batting line up look so much more potent and secure! If he continues to get decent runs in the middle order then I think we have a very good chance of winning the tournament.
Me? And have faith!! They stand the best chance they have had for years and if Morgan is right and this is he best odi team he's played in, (which includes a World Cup winning squad) then we have a damn good chance!
as you were watching you will have seen Mr Woakes get that well renowned tailender Quinton De Kock out too, must be terrible and dropped instantly!
Stat Attack:England's 339 yesterday was our 20th score over 300 since the 2015 World Cup.8 more than SA in 2nd.Stat Courtesy of Sky Sports.
Would be interesting to know how many 300+ scores were made before this. Wouldn't be surprised if it was about the same or not much more than 20!
Think playing on better pitches (roads) as opposed to the green tops Anderson use to ask for has also helped
ok lads...we know Stokes playing means we can play Ali......and im not saying Ali only plays when he does but Morgan pretty much said it on interviewnow...stokes looks to be out of the next matchwe don't have a class all rounder (who didn't play) to replace him so where so the selectors go?a bowler(ball), or jonny bairstow .....now this could be interesting selection
Bairstow win the toss bat first and score big runs take he game away from SA

Tuesday Tease - Last Call #NA/
Happy Tuesday friends! I have a little tease from
my upcoming New Adult Romance
Last Call will have a little bit of everything in it, romance, comedy and even
a dash of thrills. I hope you will check it out later this year (October).
"Hey sweet thing, can I buy you a drink?"
I push Jax from my mind, deciding to enjoy the evening with my friends. "Actually, I'm here to see John. I hear he is a hot catch and would be willing to pose for some drawings."
Not missing a beat, Gage leans in close and for a moment my mind races with the thought that he is about to kiss me. However, when our lips are so close that our breath mingles in the air between us he drawls out softly, "is it going to be a nude portrait sweetheart, because I'm willing to sacrifice myself for your art if need be?" A twitch of pure desire jolts through my abdomen as Gage turns and walks to the door.
"Shall we?" He teases opening the door with a glint in his eyes.
"You play dirty," I grumble as I walk past him to return to the bar.

Like many men, I too have been searching for the mythical P-spot orgasm. I've bought plugs of all kinds, including an expensive Rocks off Rude Boy, in the hope that it would help me in finding that illusive spot!
None have succeeded; but then enter the Mood Naughty 2!
I popped the plug in and warmed up with the standard flexing of the PC muscles. Then I had the idea to press the plug in slightly further with the use of the bullet vibrator from the otherwise useless Rude Boy.
Coupled with the extra depth and vibrations from the bullet and tensing my perineum - that was it - I found what I'd been looking for! One after the other they came and I was so happy that my patience had paid off, that I could have fist punched the air.
What an awesome little plug this is! :D
- Pros
- It helped me achieve the mythical P-spot orgasm.
- Cons
- Nothing.
- Bottom line
- An awesome little plug and the right tool for the job.

This was beyond our wildest expectations.
I was sceptical and worried that it might be to large. With plenty of lube and slow careful insertion, once in place it was wonderful.
After a few minutes of getting used to it, my wife pulled it out slightly and reinserted it. The bumping over my prostate felt great.
This is my first real prostate stimulator. I had a beginners stimulator before but it wasn't even close to the feeling of the naughty 2. At the point when I was ready to cum she pushed it in all the way and I haven't cum that much in years. I am 58-years-old and can't believe how great this felt. It would be nice if the handle had a finger loop.
- Pros
- Everything.

- No finger loop.

Looking forward to using this with my OH. She does not know I have ordered it yet so it will be a nice surprise for her. I will probably wear it before our kinky play and will hear her reaction.
Looking forward to seeing how it feels during sex and orgasm if I am allowed one!
