Financial Modelling
Module description
This module equips you with the knowledge and tools to implement financial models using Excel and Visual Basic for Applications (VBA). The module covers a range of topics in finance drawn from corporate finance, portfolio theory, fixed income analysis, risk management and international finance. The emphasis of the module is on the practical application of finance theory, with lectures on each topic followed by in-depth practical classes, in which you will work through real world problems using Excel and VBA.
Additional information:
This is an applied module that covers the implementation of quantitative financial models that are widely used in financial institutions such as investment banks, mutual funds and hedge funds, and in non-financial corporations.
The content of this module is relevant to the finance industry in an international setting, with examples drawn from a number of global financial markets. The international aspects of finance are explicitly addressed through the modelling of exchange rates.
The sustainable operation of financial markets relies on the fact that security prices reflect the fair value of the future cash flows that they promise to pay. The fair valuation of security prices is maintained by the actions of investors, who exploit deviations from fair value through the implementation of financial models such as those covered in this module.
Research in Teaching
Some of the material covered in the module draws on research in the area of applied finance undertaken by the module convener, and either published in academic journals or used as a basis for commercial consultancy. Where appropriate, references to this research will be provided.

text: Chemical and biological mechanisms had been suggested to explain the transformation of hexavalent chromium, a toxic industrial discharge, into a less dangerous trivalent form. Now scientists at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in Berkeley, Calif., have used Fourier transform IR spectromicroscopy to identify the reduction agent as Arthrobacter oxydans. This bacterium, which inhabits basalt, could help clean waste sites. The lab's Advanced Light Source provided the light for the study, which monitored hexavalent chromium in the presence and absence of the bacteria. The researchers noted that the synchrotron's light is 200 times brighter at a 10-µm resolution than conventional sources, allowing them to examine the samples at low concentrations and in real time.

An Employer Asks You To Do Work For Free: Legal Or Not?
Dear Donna,
I run into many problems with employers regarding availability and doing free work to promote business. An example is: A company would tell me that I am an independent contractor but would require me to stay in the area, without pay, in case someone would want to schedule my services last-minute.
Another example: A company required me to perform free services for their customers, but I would not be paid because it would be promoting my services. But if it is required of me, I think that is supposed to be paid for.
One other problem I have is the "practical" interview, where I am required to do an hour of free work in my "interview" to prove I know what I am doing. Keep in mind that in my state, all people in my industry are required to be licensed before working anywhere.
Can you please tell me if there are any labor laws regarding these examples. I would be very grateful.
Thank you,
MC, I'm glad you asked. I'll address the "working interview" first. This is a pretty common problem. The concept of "free work" for interviews has caught on, and I'd say it really depends on the circumstances. It's not unusual for a law firm to, for instance, require a writing sample, which might even mean requiring applicants to write a memorandum of law on a current legal issue, to see their writing style.
The difference is if the employer is getting something they would normally pay for.
In my example, if the law firm asked 20 applicants to write 20 different memoranda which it then submitted to courts on 20 different cases, the applicants should be paid for their work. If, however, the writing sample is just a sample, then the applicant need not be paid.
Using a different industry as an example, if you were a massage therapist and the company required you to give an hour demonstration of various massage techniques so that they could be sure your techniques meshed with what their customers want, that's probably not something you have to be paid for. If, however, they required you to give a one-hour massage to a customer, then you likely need to be paid.
If the customer is charged, you definitely need to be paid for your work.

Let me give you some other examples:
A typing test for speed can be unpaid, but typing a letter that the company uses and sends out to customers must be paid.
Likewise: a physical agility test that shows your ability to lift heavy object may be unpaid. But if you're asked to haul heavy objects on a job site -- that must be paid.
Get the drift? The issue here is similar to that of unpaid interns. Companies have to be very careful when asking for free work. Most times, they'll be violating the Fair Labor Standards Act.
More:10 Tricks Employers Use To Cheat Workers Out Of Overtime
Employers often take advantage of independent contractors. As I've said in the past, most independent contractors are misclassified and should be paid as employees. If the company controls the time, place and manner of your work, you're an employee. That means they can't tell you to how or when to perform your services.
If, for instance, you're a lawyer, then you get an assignment and are given a deadline. You can then work on it at your own pace and turn it in by the deadline. If you're a massage therapist, then you should be able to set a schedule that works for you.
No one can ask you to promote your services for free. As to the company that demanded that you do free work to "promote your services," it flat-out broke the law. If you're a contractor, you decide how to promote your work, not the company.
An explanation of what makes you a contractor: If the company tells you how to do your job, you're legally an employee. The company can tell a contractor what results they want, but not how to accomplish the task. Once the company tells you that you have to work certain hours, have to be on-call, and when you can take off, you're an employee.
Other indicators that by law, you're an employee are that the company provides the equipment, hires your assistants (or prohibits you from hiring assistants), wants you to work exclusively for them, and evaluates your work.
An employer can't require you to 'volunteer.' What they were doing is requiring you to be a "volunteer" working for their customers. If the company "suffers or permits you to work," you have to be paid at least minimum wage. Period. There's no such thing as "volunteering" at a for-profit company.
If your company does a Hurricane Sandy relief effort and asks for employees to volunteer to help out, then that's OK. But once it's required, then you're no longer a volunteer. If the company says you must help out or be disciplined, you must be paid for your time.
What should you do if the employer is breaking the law? If a potential employer or current employer is making you do free work that you think may be illegal, you should contact the Department of Labor, your state labor department, or talk to an employment lawyer in your state about your rights.
If you need legal advice, it's best to talk to an employment lawyer in your state, but if you have general legal issues you want me to discuss publicly here, whether about discrimination, working conditions, employment contracts, medical leave, or other employment law issues, you can ask me at AOL Jobs. While I can't answer every question here, your question might be featured in one of my columns, or an upcoming live video chat.

In a statement read outside Bristol Crown Court, David and Teresa Yeates said they wished their daughter's killer could be subjected to capital punishment for his crime.
They hoped he would suffer a "living hell".
Their words came after Tabak was sentenced to life behind bars after being found guilty of Miss Yeates' murder.
"We attended the trial of Jo's murderer not to see justice handed out to him, but to learn what we could about what really happened from the time when Jo disappeared to when Jo's murderer was arrested," they said.
"We never considered this trial a process of justice for Jo.
"The last four weeks have been more stressful and intense than we ever imagined. Although we had been made aware of the nature of much of the evidence against Jo's killer, some of the details which came out were a surprise.
"There was never any doubt in our minds that Jo had been murdered and that we fully expected him to lie when he went into the witness box.
"We came here with little hope or expectation of hearing what happened on the 17th of December, but needed to see him and to hear what he had to say first hand.
"We saw no emotion or remorse or regret for what he did to Jo. We felt that all emotions expressed by him were false. All we heard were words of self-pity.
"Thus, it is with regret that capital punishment is not a possible option for his sentence.
"The best we can hope for him is that he spends the rest of his life incarcerated, where his life is a living hell, being the recipient of all evils, deprivations and degredations that his situation can provide.
"For ourselves, this trial has had little effect on our lives. We have still lost a daughter and our son has lost a sister.
"Our main sorrow is that Jo was not allowed to start her own family, have children and achieve her potential.
"We will never get over our loss, how she was murdered and the total lack of respect with which her body was treated. We so miss hearing her happy voice and seeing her living life to the full."
The Yeates family also paid tribute to the work of the police officers involved in their daughter's case and thanked friends and well-wishers for their support.

First Edition Books - The Princess and the President by Valery Giscard d'Estaing
In one of the most extraordinary literary developments in recent years, the former French President Valery Giscard d'Estaing has written a novel about a love affair between an unhappy British princess, who bears a striking resemblance to Princess Diana, and a French President.
(French President Valery Giscard d'Estaing and Princess Diana - in Versailles in 1994 - Capture)
La Princesse et le President - wiil be published by Éditions de Fallois-XO (The Princess and the President) in October but already people are speculating whether the story is is fact or fantasy.
Giscard d'Estaing, French President from 1974-1981, gives his fictional President the name of Jacques-Henri Lambertye, and names the heroine Princess Patricia of Cardiff, "a town in Wales."
The pair meet at Buckingham Palace and the princess reveals her sad plight to the French President and embark upon a passionate affair. Is Giscard, who met Princess Diana in 1994, in Versailles, living out the fantasy of a secret liaison?
"A dozen days before my wedding, my future husband came and told me that he had a mistress and that he had to decided to carry on seeing her after our marriage," says Princess Pat, in a confession very similar to the situation that existed between Prince Charles and Lady Diana.
The book contains much wishful thinking but has fuelled rumours that the tale might be true by penning a cryptic inscription in the book: "Promise kept." It also contains the strange phrase in English "I wish that you love me". I say strange because it doesn't make a lot of sense in English and it is hard to believe that an English person would use that exact phrase, except perhaps in response to the question "What do you wish?".
He ends the book by writing "You asked my permission for you to write your story," she told me. "I give you it, but you must make me a promise ..."
Le Figaro expects the book to cause a stir. No doubt both the royal family and Mr Al Fayed will be reading it closely.
Only Giscard d'Estaing holds the key to whether it is fiction or reality says Le Figaro.
Giscard was 55 when he lost power and photographs show that he met Diana publicly in the years after his election defeat.
One Reuters picture her smiling delightedly at Giscard.
As is well-known, Diana died in a car crash under the Pont de l'Alma in Paris in 1997 with her boyfriend, Dodi al Fayed. According to media reports Giscard and his wife were the first to send flowers to the hospital where her body was taken.
The book is bound to cause a stir when it is published on 1st October to say the least perhaps an almighty ruckus so it might be worth grabbing yourself a copy or two of the first edition, signed by Mr Giscard d'Estaing if at all possible (although book signings are not so well-known in France).

Optimal Control of Gene Regulatory Networks with Effectiveness of Multiple Drugs: A Boolean Network Approach
School of Information Science, Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology, Ishikawa 923-1292, Japan
Received 30 April 2013; Revised 25 June 2013; Accepted 12 July 2013

Developing control theory of gene regulatory networks is one of the significant topics in the field of systems biology, and it is expected to apply the obtained results to gene therapy technologies in the future. In this paper, a control method using a Boolean network (BN) is studied. A BN is widely used as a model of gene regulatory networks, and gene expression is expressed by a binary value (0 or 1). In the control problem, we assume that the concentration level of a part of genes is arbitrarily determined as the control input. However, there are cases that no gene satisfying this assumption exists, and it is important to consider structural control via external stimuli. Furthermore, these controls are realized by multiple drugs, and it is also important to consider multiple effects such as duration of effect and side effects. In this paper, we propose a BN model with two types of the control inputs and an optimal control method with duration of drug effectiveness. First, a BN model and duration of drug effectiveness are discussed. Next, the optimal control problem is formulated and is reduced to an integer linear programming problem. Finally, numerical simulations are shown.

Today's Courier Herald Column:
Sometimes events happen in life that contain certain symmetries that help frame events as proper bookends around life events. Thursday evening I was honored to accept an invitation to speak to the Spalding County Republican Party. It's a group that I was once quite familiar with in another life.
Twelve years ago through a somewhat unexpected series of events I ended up challenging an incumbent State Senator in the Republican primary. The events that led up to that are another story in itself, but when qualifying was done there were three of us running from my home county of Fayette, and one – the eventual winner – was a challenger from Coweta.
Realizing that I was sharing my home county with two people who had been elected several times in my home county, I adopted Spalding County as my part of the district. In many ways, they adopted me as well. The incumbent carried all three counties but was forced into a runoff he would eventually lose. I managed to come in 2nd in Spalding, but third in the other two counties. My brief attempt at political office ended with neither me nor the incumbent in the Senate. I remain quite OK with that.
I was able to do a little reminiscing last night in front of some very familiar faces. It wouldn't be a Spalding County GOP meeting without seeing June and Mac McIntyre. It equally didn't seem right to not see Betty and Ivan Taylor, who are no longer with us. David Knight has moved up to the State House since I was involved. Mr. Cole still sits on the back row.
Having no assigned topic to speak on, I generally connected the dots from the time I ran for the Senate to the journey that has been PeachPundit.com and eventually this column. Sometimes I have to say it out loud just so I can appreciate the complete accidental and improbable nature of it. It's been a great outlet for me, and a way to use my interest in politics to find some application that does not involve me running for office ever again. In fact, much of what I choose to right certainly precludes it.
Yet writing for the sake of writing has also never really been my style. There are issues I care about, and there are problems that need to be addressed. One of those that I used to write about frequently is about our country's need for energy independence. It's something we as a people tend to agree on, though like most issues of today we've managed to focus on where we differ than on the common goal where we agree.
I haven't been writing about the topic because I've been working with some friends on the issue, and I have a general rule that I don't write about topics where I have a business interest. While the original opportunity I explored appears to have come and gone, new ones have been presented that I've decided to focus on. Going forward I'll be the Communications Director for the Bio Feedstock Industry Association. It's a relatively new trade group formed to promote the use of non-food biomass as part of an "all of the above" 21st century energy strategy for the county.
It's not a side of the issue that is usually dominated by my friends on the conservative side of the aisle. It is my hope that working with the group I can help change that. Alternative energy has received quite a bit of bad press because of crony capitalism substituting for sound science, as well as many snake oil salesman flooding the field as the ideas became popular. Our hope is to promote the good and weed out the bad, along with articulating conservative market driven principles on which to base a sound and long range forward looking energy policy.
I'm looking forward to the new venture. It's another outlet for me to take on the path that began well over a decade ago and has gone anything but as planned.
Twelve years ago I came to Griffin as a young idealist asking for votes. It was nice to come back and thank them for the ones I received, and also remember that beneath the pragmatic veneer and under the graying hair, there's occasionally still a bit of that guy left.

There are times when I feel like I don't do enough things with my children. Sometimes I feel like our weekends have been wasted doing house work and gardens and things. So this weekend I decided we needed to go on an adventure. We went off to Te Puna Quarry Park.
I can't believe I've lived in Tauranga most of my life and have never been here. So when Janae's kindy informed us they'd won the grant for the music garden I felt it was the perfect time to go check it out.
We didn't make it all the way to the top but the view from three quarters of the way up was amazing. It was just so hot. By the very nature of a quarry it's sheltered and as the day wore on the heat just exploded. Next time we go we'll start much earlier in the morning.
We stopped off at the music garden on our way up the hill. Paula (Te Puna Kindergarten's head teacher) and her husband are doing a great job and the kids had a ball making a cacophony of sounds. Later, when we were down again and enjoying lunch in the shade we could hear others playing the instruments and the sounds echoed off the rocks. It was quite wonderful.
And on our way back down, who did we run into? Paula and her husband "planting" a new seat for parents to relax in the shade while their children play. She took some time to play some music with Janae. I can't tell you how pleased Janae was as Paula is her absolute favourite teacher.
This is the amphitheatre and was probably my favourite spot. It was open and lush and had a lovely pond full of tadpoles and water lilies.
And the plants were awesome too. This is the flower of a Nikau palm. Bright purple and almost jewel like.
It really was a lot of fun and there is still over half the quarry we haven't discovered yet. That's for the next time we go.
And while the children lunched I got the first sock finished. It was quite lovely sitting in the shade listening to their chatter while I knitted.
Thank you Kayley for being my sock model. I've started the second but there were a few expletives I'm ashamed to say. I must have started at least five times. I can't understand why the first sock was so simple to start and I had such problems with the second. However, the ribbing is done and we're underway again.

Janet & I adopted Molly, aka MaKayla, GRRAND tag # 1008 in October, 2004. She was a 3 month old Golden / Irish Setter mix. Her puppy photo graced GRRAND's web page for many years. She is the pup with the red bandana. Molly had a broken left femur bone, just below the joint ball. The vet advised that it may heal on it's own. After 7 months it was determined that the broken area had healed, however, her knee cap area had become misaligned because of her favoring the hip joint. The knee cap would pop out of alignment, and she would have to sit for it to realign. Molly went through 2 surgeries to correct this issue. She came thorough both surgeries just fine, and could run and romp with the best of them. When Molly turned 2 years old, we decided that she need a buddy to romp and play with.
In October of 2006, we adopted Henry, aka Hunter #8, GRRAND tag # 1688. Henry was a 2 year old (estimated age) Golden / Chow mix who was found running the highways of West Virginia. He was turned over to GRRAND and found his way to our home. Henry is our "Velcro" dog. He will never leave your side as long as there is physical contact.
Molly and Henry hit if off immediately. Each respected the other's space. And they romped and played endlessly.
In July of 2007, we relocated to our present home in Augusta, GA. Molly and Henry adapted very well. We live in a dog community. There are endless numbers of dog walkers that travel by our home, and the dogs are in constant communication.
As the years have passed, (both are now 12 years old) Molly's left hip and knee have developed arthritis. With the aid of medication, she is able to get around, however is not as active as she would like. Henry is having difficulty getting up after lying down for a long period. They both however think they are still young. They enjoy their two walks a day, watching all the dogs parade by the house, and most of all just laying around in the sunny yard.
We are indebted to GRRAND for providing these two wonderful family members to us.
1st Photo – Both enjoying a roll in the grass.Molly on the left, Henry on right

Thanks, for all GRRAND does,
Janet & Bill Cravens

From days of long ago, from uncharted regions of the universe, comes a legend. The legend of Voltron: Defender of the Universe. A mighty robot, loved by good, feared by evil. As Voltron's legend grew, jewelry was forged and sold across the galaxy. Okay, not really across the galaxy. Just here on Earth. Well, we're willing to sell across the galaxy, but UPS can't even manage P.O. boxes, let alone Mars. Sorry, Curiosity. That Astronaut Ice Cream's gonna have to wait.
This Voltron Ring is ready to join with you to form something awesome. Fashioned from two-tone gold and silver stainless steel with black CZ stones, this is a serious statement piece. It works for guys or gals, but since we have it only in sizes 9-11, most gals will need to wear it as a thumb ring. Speaking of which, why doesn't Voltron have thumbs? How can you be Defender of the Universe without a thumb?

Irish actress Saoirse Ronan will use her Irish accent on film for the first time in Wes Anderson's "The Grand Budapest Hotel."
Ronan is the leading lady of Anderson's upcoming film. New! magazine reported she said about her upcoming role, "I'm doing an Irish accent for my character. Wes just decided to let me, and I'm really chuffed (pleased). It's actually the first time I've ever used an Irish accent in a film."
The 18 year old who grew up in Co Carlow, Ireland came to fame for her role in "Atonement," which earned her an Oscar nomination. She has done American and British accents in her past films. Ronan can be seen on the big screen in the film adaptation of Stephenie Meyer's "The Host" which opens on March 29.
Ronan was in Los Angeles on St. Patrick's Day to promote "The Host." She told Canada.com about being away from home on the holiday, "I haven't been home the past couple of St. Patty's Days. It's not as big (in Ireland) as it is in America It's mad here, but it's great, like a national holiday."
Anderson, who received an Oscar nomination for his last film "Moonrise Kingdom" started shooting "The Grand Budapest Hotel" in and around Berlin in mid January. "The Grand Budapest Hotel" will be released in 2014. The cast also includes Bill Murray, Jude Law, Edward Norton, Adrien Brody, Owen Wilson, Tilda Swinton and Willem Dafoe.

• Show Bio for Kai Fagaschinski
"The Berlin-based clarinetist and composer/performer focuses on a subtle musicality of sound and noise phenomena. As an autodidact he has developed dubious manners on his instrument. His music is rooted in abstractness, including increasingly an insidious expressivity and a pre-melodic quality. He works on the borderline of composition and improvisation, with a preference for long-term collaborations.
His projects are The International Nothing - clarinet duo with Michael Thieke (cd: Mainstream, ftarri 2006 / less action, less excitement, less everything, ftarri 2010 / the dark side of success, ftarri 2014), los glissandinos with klaus filip (cd: Stand clear, creative sources 2005), the magic i.D. - Song Project with margareth kammerer, christof kurzmann & michael thieke (cd/vinyl: Till my breath gives out, erstwhile 2008 / i'm so awake - sleepless i feel, staubgold 2011), duo with Burkhard Stangl (cd: Musik - ein portrait in sehnsucht, erstwhile 2009), the dogmatics with Chris Abrahams (lp: The sacrifice for the music became our lifestyle, monotype 2012), here comes the sun with gunter schneider & barbara romen (cd: Here comes the sun, mikroton 2012), Kommando Raumschiff Zitrone with Christof kurzmann (cd: First time ever i saw your face, quincunx 2006), duo with Bernhard Gal (cd: Going round in serpentines, charhizma 2005), rebecca with michael renkel (cd: Rebecca [two variations], charhizma 2003), No Furniture with Boris Baltschun and Axel Dörner (cd: No furniture, creative sources 2003), and (exceptionally) solo.
Kai has been the commander of Raumschiff Zitrone from 2000 to 2006, joined by christof kurzmann in 2002. Recently both commanders have been retired and closed the legendary raumschiff zitrone which has presented concerts of countless international artists. In 2001 he co-initiated together with gregor hotz and conrad noack berlin's experimental music platform www.Echtzeitmusik.De.
Kai was artist-in-residense at quartier21 (part of museumsquartierwien, vienna) in 2004. As a result of fruitful collaborations and good friendships vienna feels like a second home for him."-Kai Fagaschinski Website (http://kylie.klingt.org/bio.html)

"The Berlin-based clarinetist/composer/performer Michael Thieke is equally at home across a broad range of musical environments, such as experimental song forms, collectively composing projects, improvising collectives, and music on the fringes of jazz. He is exploring the minutiae of sound, timbre and noise, with a particular interest in microtonality and related sound phenomena, and with a preference for long-term collaborations and collective work.
Some of his current Projects are: The International Nothing (with Kai Fagaschinski cl, CD on ftarri), The Magic I.D.

sample the album:
"Originally, Captain Beefheart & the Magic Band's second album was intended to be a double-album set called "It Comes to You in a Plain Brown Wrapper." Although 1968's Strictly Personal has the same artwork that was mooted for the double album, it's a single disc. As part of the same post-Trout Mask Replica closet-cleaning that led to Buddah (the parent company of Blue Thumb Records, which released Strictly Personal) reissuing Safe As Milk as Dropout Boogie in the U.K. in 1970, the label released Mirror Man, the second disc that was intended for the Plain Brown Wrapper release. Recorded in November 1967 (an odd misprint on the sleeve claims it was recorded in 1965, when the band barely existed), the four lengthy tracks on Mirror Man are even more simplistic and primal than those on Strictly Personal. All four are worthwhile, but the key tracks are "Tarotplane Blues," a free-form jam in which Beefheart jumbles together the lyrics of at least half a dozen blues standards into a stream-of-consciousness ramble (adding musette and harmonica for good measure) as the Magic Band vamps on a slide guitar-based, two-chord groove for over 19 minutes, and the similarly expansive "Mirror Man," one of the key tracks of Beefheart's entire career. Probably the catchiest tune Beefheart ever wrote, "Mirror Man" has an almost funky, hip-swaying groove, and there's a playful lightness to the way Beefheart chants the simplistic lyrics that prefigures the flights of fancy on Trout Mask Replica and Lick My Decals off, Baby. The remaining two tracks, "25th Century Quaker" and "Kandy Korn," are less essential but interesting enough. The revitalized and properly spelled Buddha Records reissued an expanded version of this album in 1999 as The Mirror Man Sessions, adding five alternate takes of songs that later appeared on Strictly Personal."-Stewart Mason, All Music

Mercedes Diesel Hybrid – World's most economical car in the Luxury segment
Mercedes has never failed to impress auto enthusiast with its innovation and path breaking technology used in its line of vehicles. This time around, the famed German auto maker is ensuring hearts miss a beat with the news about New Mercedes Diesel Hybrid. What's all the fuss about the E300 BlueTEC HYBRID? For starters it offers a significant rise in fuel efficiency, as compared with the currently most powerful diesel 4-cylinder in its segment, the E250 CDI. Yes fuel efficiency will be increased by 15% with the E300 BlueTEC HYBRID. Acceleration and top speed is taken to a new level with the new hybrid. A certified CO2 emission of less than 109 grams per kilometer in a full sized luxury sedan is what has gotten luxury car enthusiasts all excited. There's no rocket science to the new hybrid.
Performance boost is because of a newly developed diesel hybrid power train in conjunction with the already economical 4-cylinder 2.1 liter direct injection cohesively working with the hybrid automatic transmission 7G- Tronic Plus. The E300 power is because of various components cohesively working to increase performance. There's an electric motor supplied by Bosch that replaces the torque converter of the transmission. This arrangement adds an additional 20 kW and 259 Nm to the engine that delivers 204 horsepower and produces 500 Nm torque. The mechanical layout is not simple. Between the electric motor and the diesel engine is placed a single multi-plate clutch which is connected to input shaft of the transmission. Although the length of the transmission is changed because of the electric motor, it's packaged in the same amount of space that's occupied currently by the torque convertor in the transmission.
The arrangement and assembly ensures that on electric- only mode, distribution of power through the electric motor to the rear wheels in conjunction with 7-speed auto transmission is tuned and balanced. In accordance with the power on the installed motor, ease with high speeds and acceleration vary. Freewheeling and sailing is highly improved with configuration and arrangement. Sailing is of integral importance in vehicles that are heavy. It's only when arrangements of various components work in unison that efficiency increases. Although the electric motor gives a significant boost to fuel efficiency the overall efficiency is increased with the transmission working in conjunction with the electric motor.
Inward and outward energy flow during acceleration, braking and regeneration is important. Parasitic losses and clutch drag is reduced with the electric motor and auto transmission working in tandem. Daimler engineers are of the opinion that larger motors will be used to enhance various aspects of performance. Engineers reveal, up to 50 kW motors will be used in future platforms. The new Hybrid system is expected to be equipped with the next generation S-Class Mercedes that will arrive in the third quarter of 2013. Also on the cards for the North American market is the E400 Hybrid that will be powered with a V6 gasoline engine, believed to deliver 306 hp and produce 370 Nm torque.

The Washington coast salmon recovery region, with its predominance of forests and few major cities, represents the last, best chance for the state to protect existing salmon populations from further decline and restore them to healthier levels. The region still has the fish and the healthy rivers, estuaries, and bays. The rich natural environment supports many of the region's businesses, which rely on the land and waterways for logging, farming, fishing, and recreation.
Still, our salmon are at historically low numbers. Threats include climate change's predicted impact on snow packs and river conditions, too many roads that put sediment in some streams, and invasive knotweed choking riverbanks. These threats remind us that much hard work still lies ahead.
Some key accomplishments include the following:

2017 will be our fifth year hosting a summer camp for kids in Manhattan, NY and our fourth year hosting a sewing camp for kids in Merrick Long Island. We always have such a blast with our summer campers teaching them to design and sew their own clothes!
More info on:
As a child I would draw clothing designs, use leftover fabric and hot glue it all together to make my creations- that was until I learned how to use a sewing machine! The sewing machine opened up a whole new exciting world and I began to make my own clothes – this passion eventually led me to Parsons and later to open The Fashion Class. Learning to sew definitely had a positive impact on me when I was eight and I see how it effects our students every day by instilling confidence and creativity – plus it's just a lot of fun! And what better time to learn all about sewing and fashion design than a NY summer. – Kerri, TFC Founder
Midtown Manhattan: In NYC, on W39th Street in the city's Garment Center, we have a fully equipped loft-styled sewing studio with three classrooms. Our Fashion Camp for Children this summer is split into two distinct age groups; Summer Fashion Camp for younger Children 6-8 old and Summer Fashion Camp for Older Kids 9-12yrs. Our Kid-Campers will learn to sew real clothing on a safe and easy to use sewing machine plus create fabulous accessories and illustrate fashion! Special lessons will include styling a photo-shoot, fabric science and fashion history. Our Tween Fashion Summer Campers will also sew real clothing, design fashion, have specialized lessons (like fashion history, fabric science & tech) PLUS go on ahhmazing field trips in the garment center. Our field trips are typically within walking distance to the studio. One of my favorites is visiting designer Austin Scarlett's showroom and workroom. Filled with sewing machines and bridal gowns are campers get to meet Austin in person (he was also on 2 seasons of Project Runway) and see his designs up close! We also visit Mood Fabrics, FIT, The Metropolitan Museum's Costume Institute and so much more. In our New York City location we also host a Fashion Design Summer Camp for Teenagers ages 13-17.
Merrick Long Island: Our Merrick Sewing camp for Kids; ages 6-12 (our average age of campers is 9-10) also learn to sew real clothing using our state-of-the-art sewing machines plus illustrate fashion. Special lessons included fashion entrepreneurship, fabric science, technology in fashion and fashion history with real period costumes! Sewing is the real highlight for our campers though and they display their designs each Friday afternoon on the catwalk for parents and friends. Merrick also hosts a Sewing and Design Summer Camp for Teens ages 13-17yrs old – teen campers get to design their own clothing, shop at Mood Fabrics and learn to sketch fashion!
Our instructors in Manhattan and Merrick are professional designers who specialize in all areas of fashion and hold degrees from FIT, LIM and Parsons. Our managers and camp counselors are certified in CPR and First Aid. All supplies and transportation costs are included in the camp fee, there are no extra costs (we just ask that campers bring a lunch). Fashion Camp is a great way to spend the summer by learning to sew with other creative kids!
Roslyn Long Island: We're now offering two weeks of half day fashion camp for kids in Roslyn NY at the Abrakadoodle Art Studio!

Q&A with Strange Fire Collective...
I recently had the opportunity to talk with Rafael Soldi of the STRANGE FIRE COLLECTIVE about the evolution of the work and my developing feminist lens. Below is an excerpt. Read full interview here.
"...The last five years have been really fruitful for my work and research. One of my first sculptural pieces, "trace of possibility," launched a newfound freedom to embrace abstraction, obsess about light, and make space for my fascination with science (and now math.) I sketch with my iPhone and scanner a lot. I work in a cyclical way, usually starting with an image, then constructing, exploring materials, printing, constructing, reshooting. I think about most everything as an experiment and then the site specificity drives decisions on form."

Los Angeles: Actor Johnny Depp has bought a house for girlfriend Amber Heard in Nashville, Tennessee.
Depp, 49, started a relationship with Heard, 26, a few months back, after separating from long-time partner Vanessa Paradis.
"Buying this house is the surest sign yet of how serious Johnny is about Amber," thesun.co.uk quoted a source as saying.
"She`s always dreamt of having a ranch. They were going to buy one in Texas, where she`s from, but they fell in love with the Nashville property as soon as they set eyes on it," the source added.
Staying away from Hollywood does not matter to Depp.
"Johnny isn`t bothered about living it up in Hollywood, he`d rather have the good life. While Amber loves to ride horses, Johnny`s serious about writing and playing music," the source said.

Last year we split a pig with the in laws and we were helpless when it came to choosing what we got. This year I got his number and would like to see what you folks get when it comes to this.
He just sent me a text saying his going rate is $1.80 per pound for hanging weight. Does this seem decent? I know prices will be different depending on the area but when it comes to the bacon and such that's cheap here. Even ribs and such only get as low as $1.68 when they are on sale.
What all do you guys normally ask for? I know this can depend on what he makes too but I was curious what you guys get since we smoke a lot of food here...

Re: Buying a pig advice
If you have a good butcher then go and see them, tell you what you want. I recently did a pig on a spit, my idea and what my butcher suggested was poles apart. He was correct, 100% perfect cook. I'm also lucky one of my best friends is a retired butcher as well. Good luck and keep us posted with pics.

Turkish Cypriot trade unionists, face five years of prison each, for expressing their thoughts about Turkey, in the northern part of Cyprus. While those who have run their banks into bankruptcy, leaving thousands of Turkish Cypriots who lost their money without hope have been committed to only two years of imprisonment, expressing your thoughts and ideas in the northern part of Cyprus, may cost you upto five years of imprisonment and lots of backlash from extreme right wing groups.
The Executive Committee of Turkish Cypriot Teachers' Trade Union KTOS, made up of 30 teachers are facing upto 150 years of imprisonment in total, if they are committed. Today, the trade unionists were at the police headquarters, giving their "testimonies" about an advertisement they have published in two daily political newspapers, Yeniduzen and Avrupa. Though the advertisement did not question the sovereignty or integrity of the Turkish Cypriot state but rather said "NO TO ANKARA", they are being charged with "seditious publication" towards bringing about a change in the sovereignty of the state, for creating hatred, contempt and disaffection against the state and for belittling it.
Earlier in the week, KTOS gave an advertisement in the newspapers and said "Ankara: we do not want your money, your package or your civil servants. We do not want to be slaves". Extreme right wing groups have been reacting strongly, using verbal abuse and threats against the trade unionists. Turkish Cypriot leader Rauf Denktash, called on the Attorney General to look into laws in order to ban the trade unionists from teaching at schools.
At the police headquarters, while "testimonies" of the KTOS trade unionists were being taken, leaders of progressive trade unions of Turkish Cypriots like KTAMS (civil servants trade union), TURK-SEN (oldest trade union of Turkish Cypriots), DEV-IS (Revolutionary Trade Unions Federation), TIP-IS (doctors' trade union) were also there, to show their support and solidarity. Mehmet Seyis, president of Genel-Ish, part of DEV-IS, in a statement to the press said, "The developments look like an Inquisition Court. Trade unions will not be quiet. The assault on KTOS from right wing, looks as though it is being directed from the same centre. KTOS is not the only target of this attack. All trade unions that are part of the 'This Country is Ours Platform' are under attack." He went on to say that the main aim of these attacks is to repress the working people who will be affected by the IMF-styled economic package imposed by Turkey on Turkish Cypriots and being implemented by the Turkish Cypriot government, which will take back many rights and benefits of the working people.
Police went to the headquarters of the Turkish Cypriot Teachers' Trade Union KTOS today and took their computers, printers and fax machines, saying these were "evidence to the crime" allegedly committed by the trade union. KTOS gave advertisements in the newspapers in North Cyprus which said "No to Ankara's money, economic package and Ankara's civil servants." KTOS came under attack from right wing groups and the General Secretary of KTOS, Varol Oztug appeled to the international community for support, saying their lives were in danger. Charges are being pressed against KTOS for allegedly making "seditious publication".
In an urgent call to the international community, Oztug, the General Secretary of KTOS said the following:
Today Rauf Denktash and the other fascist political groups in Cyprus threatened us. Secret polic came to the head office of KTOS and took all our office equipment. This is the indicator that there is no democracy in North Cyprus which is defined as subordinate local administration of Turkey. Our lives are under danger.
Police also went to the two daily political opposition papers, Yeniduzen and Avrupa, to question the editors for publishing the advertisement of KTOS. In the advertisement KTOS had said "Ankara: No to your money and no to your civil servants and economic package. We don't want to be slaves. Turkish Cypriots: We have the knowledge, skills, potential and sufficiency to rule ourselves."
While police officers were trying to take the computers, printers and fax machines of KTOS away, Oztug gave a press conference and said that the attacks had nothing to do with the advertisement they gave. "We have been chosen as targets by certain circles. This is a systematic assault by the President Rauf Denktash and all right wing organisations\", he said. Police is pressing charges against KTOS for allegedly making "seditious publications". Under the Criminal Law dated fom British Colonial times, "seditious publications" mean "provocating the community against law and order, against the state etc."
Meanwhile opposition political parties and NGOs that work for peace and democracy in the divided Cyprus issued statements giving support to KOS. CTP (Republican Turkish Party) appealed to all sectors of society for calm. Patriotic Unity Movement (YBH), an other opposition political party said in its statement today that the attack from right wing NGOs against KTOS seems to being directed from the same centre. YBH said that KTOS and its member teachers have a very important place in the struggle for peace and democracy in Cyprus. Meanwhile Bas?n-Sen, Media Workers Trade Union said the attacks against KTOS, do not comply with the right for freedom of thought and freedom of expression.

Dear Colleagues,
We need urgent international supports. Yesterday we gave the press release to the local newspapers, which includes negative impressions of the Turkish policies towards North Cyprus.
Today Rauf Denktas and the other fascist politic groups in Cyprus threatened us. Secret police came to the head office of KTOS and took all our office equipments. This is the good indicator that there is no democracy in North Cyprus which defined as "Subordinate Local Administration of Turkey".
Our lives are under danger.
Varol Oztug
Cyprus Turkish Teacher Trade Union (KTOS) Secretary General"
KTOS, Cyprus Turkish Teachers Trade Union, in advertisements published in todays newspapers, said "NO" to Ankara. Founded in 1968, KTOS has been known for its progressive struggle for democracy within the Turkish Cypriot community and for peace in Cyprus. KTOSs advertisements created reaction among the extreme right wing groups in the community. Unrest against Turkey has been brewing withing the Turkish Cypriot community but this is one of the rare occassions where an NGO openly says "No to your money and no to your civil servants, we dont want to be slaves" to Ankara.
KTOS, in advertisements published in Yeniduzen and Avrupa, two daily political newspapers in the northern part of Cyprus, said:
We do not want either your money, your package or your civil servants…WE DONT WANT TO BE SLAVES.
In the same advertisement, there was also a message to Turkish Cypriots saying that "Turkish Cypriots, we have the knowledge, skills, potential and sufficiency to rule ourselves."
The advertisements of the teachers created reaction among extreme right wing and fascist groups within the Turkish Cypriot community. Such groups cannot tolerate any sort of criticism against Turkey.
An IMF styled package that harshly cuts down benefits and rights of the working people and public spending, bringing new forms of taxes was sent by Turkey to be implemented in the northern part of Cyprus. The imposed package created big reaction among the community and even though there has been countless demonstrations and general strikes, under the slogan "This country belongs to us", the National Unity-Communal Liberation Party coalition in government in the north is gradually implementing it.
There has been three big demonstrations of Turkish Cypriots, demanding from Turkey to stop interfering within the internal affairs of the Turkish Cypriot community, for an early solution to the Cyprus conflict. 41 NGOs, among them two political parties, CTP and YBH, trade unions and professional organizations, organized rallies in July, September and October last year. More than 6 thousand people gathered on the 1st of September rally and there was a general strike where 38 thousand people went on strike, culminating with a rally with more than 15 thousand people. In a statement on this occasion, the 41 organisations leading the "This country belongs to us—we shall govern it" campaign, had said:
The basis of the immense problems in north Cyprus is political.
Turkish Cypriots are not allowed to govern their country.
We do not govern the police force, nor the military.
Establishments like the Central Bank, Turkish Cypriot Airlines or Turkish
Cypriot Petrols are not under our control.
All investments are controlled by the Nicosia embassy of Republic of Turkey.
All political decisions are made by the coordination comitee.
Essentially Turkish Cypriots are not governing their own country.
The "Economy Package" imposed by the leaders of Republic of Turkey and is about to be implemented by their domestic collaborators aims to exterminate Turkish Cypriots economically, socially, politically and culturally.
The political meaning of this package is:
Joining of north Cyprus to Republic of Turkey.
Total extermination of the Turkish Cypriot community from this island.
Turkish Cypriots will not accept this destruction.
We have the knowledge, ability and power to govern our country.
We will put out a common struggle for independence, democracy and peace
in Cyprus and will live with pride and freely in our own country.
We will support any struggle in this frame-work and will be with our public during their independence and freedom struggle."
KTOS, is part of the same group of NGOs that leads this campaign.
Earlier, in July 2000, unrest against Turkey climbed when a group of journalists, writing in AVRUPA, highly critical of Turkey and its military authorities in the northern part of Cyprus, were arrested for allegedly "spying" for Greek Cypriots, at the orders of the then Commander in Force of the Turkish Cypriot Security Forces. Court cases against AVRUPA, both military and civil still continue, but the "spying" case had to be dropped when the police could not produce "enough evidence" to "convince" the court on the alleged charges.
41 NGOs, among them two opposition political parties, CTP (Republican Turkish Party) and YBH (Patriotic Unity Movement), as well as trade unions, waging a campaign entitled "This country is ous—we shall govern it" issued a statement today, saying the Turkish Cypriot community is being terrorized, using the Turkish Cypriot Teachers Trade Union KTOSs advertisement published in yesterdays dailies in the north.
In the name of 41 NGOs which form "This Country is Ours Platform", Ali Gulle, General President of Dev-Ã\ufffds (Revolutionary Trade Unions Federation) said that for many years now, Turkish Cypriots are encountering human rights violations and the KTOS advertisement should be seen as the "exploding point" of all these violations. The economic package being imposed by Turkey and implemented by the regime in northern Cyprus is taking back many rights and benefits of the working people he said. When Turkish Cypriots were being "belittled" by the Turkish Prime Minister Bulent Ecevit and other Turkish ministers, Gulle asked, where were those who are protesting the teachers advertisement. He appealed to all to stay calm and said that "This country is ours platform" will not back down despite the fascist atmosphere being attempted to be created.
Meanwhile Turkish Cypriot leader Rauf Denktash, called the Attorney General and the Minister of Education to a meeting, "to ban the trade unionists from teaching". The Turkish Cypriot council of ministers are also taking up the"advertisement" in their meeting today.
The advertisement that the teachers gave which created strong reaction from right and extreme right wing, said "NO" to Ankara, stating "We dont want your money, your civil servants or your package…We shall not be slaves".

'What shall it profit a man if he gain the whole world and lose his own soul?'
(Mark chapter 8, verse 36/ Matthew chapter 16, verse 26)
So starts 'The Manxman', Alfred Hitchcock's last silent movie.
I liked this film a lot. When watching it, my wife Clare and her mum came in about 10 minutes into the action and proceeded to watch the entire rest of the movie. It's that good…
It begins as a standard love triangle themed movie, set on the Isle of Man. Carl Brisson (from 'The Ring') appearing here as Pete, a poor fisherman who is rejected as marriage material by Kate's (Anny Ondra) father ('you penniless lout') – the preference being for the already-wealthy-with-prospects lawyer Philip (Malcolm Keen, from the lost 'The Mountain Eagle' and 'The Lodger'). Of course, Pete and Phil have grown up together and are best pals, and Phil has a secret hankering after Kate himself – all adding up to a powerful potion of unrequited passion. Pete goes off determined to make his fortune ('It's a Queen I'll make of you') and is reported as having died. Philip and Kate start their life together…but then Pete returns, all too alive…
Hitchcock, as we have come to expect, is exploring interesting ways of relating his narrative: for example, when Pete has left we see Kate leafing through the pages of her diary, Pete featuring less and less as the days and weeks pass, Phil more prominently, this scene followed by some lush scenery sequences as the two of them embark on the beginnings of their affair.
Throughout the movie he uses many straight-to-camera full-face shots, bringing the viewer more into the story, as if you are being spoken to directly.
There is a nice technique also following the 'bedroom window' scene (see misc notes below) where the breathless and excited Kate reflects on Pete's leaving – is she thinking 'now's my chance with Phil'? The lighthouse revolves and the background light changes from peak white to black, expressing the two choices she has, the good little woman waiting for her man…or the dark temptation of infidelity. When the (inaccurate) news of Pete's death comes through she is positively beaming with relief, the cow.
The wedding of Kate and Pete is really nicely handled – just a few detail shots, hands/rings/her arm hesitatingly linking to his before the wedding breakfast begins at the mill – the very site of Phil and Kate's romantic, and fruitful, liaison.
There is a lovely dissolve sequence here, Pete laughing overjoyed (almost hysterical) and Kate trying to raise a smile: their wedding cake splits the two of them down the centre of the frame, Phil then superimposed over the cake, glaring at his missed Mrs.
The wedding breakfast turns even darker as Kate's father goes all apocalyptic, declaring the sanctity of the marriage vows and using the mill's stones to declare 'the mill of God grinds slowly' – he knows the truth of Phil and Kate's relationship and goes all Old Testament on them. He's really good at it too – this is Randle Ayrton, and he's very believable in this scene and in his later courtroom revelations.
The plot, starting as it does in a fairly thin way, escalates as Phil becomes the local deemster (Isle of Man parlance for a judge) and has to pass sentence on Kate, who has attempted suicide after leaving Pete and her new born baby (who is Phil's, obviously). Kate, her blonde hair covered by a black shawl, looks like a black Madonna in the dock – her father unable to hold his tongue any longer and exposing Phil The Judge as not only the other man in the love tryst but also the father of the baby.
It's like a 1920's Jerry Springer episode and the unhappy couple have to run the gauntlet of disapproving, staring, cursing old biddies as they embark on their walk of shame away from the village. Cracking stuff and really well acted (although there are moments when Malcolm Keen as Phil overdoes it a bit – particularly when he realizes it is Kate in front of him on his very first day as judge. Then again, what are the chances of that?)
'A trusting, joyous husband – an adored, unhappy wife whose secret misery brought death into her soul.'
Kate is really a cold hearted, cowardly specimen. She breaks her promise to wait for Pete (alright, she thinks he's dead) but then goes ahead and marries him whilst pregnant with Phil's baby, then proceeds to leave both him AND the baby with a brief handwritten note on the dinner table: 'Pete, I can't deceive you any longer. I'm going away. Before I married you I loved another man and I love him still. Good bye, K'. It's the 1920's equivalent of being dumped by text message, with a baby thrown in for good measure. I didn't really buy that any mother would desert her child like this, bearing in mind it is her daughter with the man she truly loves – nor that she would then rush off and jump in the sea, attempting suicide, although this does occur after Pete has refused her wishes to take the child and turned his back on her. It's all very dramatic and enjoyable so you find yourself going with it – the fact that it goes further off the rails than expected is a good thing.
It's a minor Hitchcock, an enjoyable watch with good characters and performances (although both Brisson and Keen overdo it a bit at times – the former occasionally metamorphosing into a gurning buffoon, the latter all doom and gloom and brooding eyebrows). You still feel, like some of the other silents, that the director is itching to get back to what he is good at. Within months of finishing 'The Manxman' Hitchcock would make his first bona fide classic and find himself simultaneously at the vanguard of the first great revolution of cinema: talking pictures…
Miscellaneous notes
Pete's dialogue scene to Kate (him telling her he is off to foreign climes to make his fortune) is reminiscent of 'Romeo and Juliet' – she high up in her bedroom window, him down below professing his intentions and love, humourously and perilously perched on Phil's shoulders.
There is a nice profile shot of Anny Ondra about half way through.
A modest wooden staircase in Pete's house. Must try harder, although I guess tricky in a poor fishing village.
IMDb notes that the 24 year old Michael Powell is again, as he had been on 'Champagne', uncredited as a stills photographer.
