Risk parity is useful as a framework for thinking about asset allocation but it has its pitfalls. As well as failing to take into account expectations of future returns, it does not directly address the issue of most concern to investors, namely tail risk – the risk of an extreme downside event widely seen as an important consideration.
One argument against risk parity is that it assumes normal distributions, while investors are concerned with losses. Many would welcome upside volatility if it implied higher returns. Risk parity relies on a simplistic view of asset-price distributions when all the evidence indicates asset price distributions have 'fat tails'. Investors need to be wary of low-frequency/high-impact events otherwise known as 'black swans'.
Managing tail risk effectively requires re-engineering the concepts of risk parity. The approaches to doing this can stray further and further away from what would be recognised as a risk parity framework.
But dealing with tail risks is critical for institutional investors. As Michael Mendelson, a principal at AQR Capital, points out, large short-term losses can prevent a portfolio from meeting its long-term return objectives. The danger comes not just from its effect on compounded returns but also from forcing asset allocation changes that may adversely impact long-term returns.
Volatility is a good measure of dispersion but it does not reveal anything about drawdowns. Michael DePalma, chief investment officer of AllianceBernstein's Global Risk Allocation fund, says: "Volatility-based approaches such as risk parity do not address what investors really care about, which is losing money. By focusing only on tail risk, our contention is that investors can retain more of the upside."
Risk is measured using the volatility of historical price movements in a traditional risk parity approach. Assets are equally weighted according to their volatility. AllianceBernstein's approach bases risk not on such backward-looking measures but, instead, on what it refers to as 'implied expected tail loss (ETL)', a measure distilled from options-market information. It is essentially the implied volatility measured in out-of-the-money options.
Its argument is that this gives market estimates about the probability of catastrophic scenarios. For example, the 'Goldilocks' environment of 2006-07, when the economy seemed to be growing smoothly without generating high inflation, represented the calm before the storm.
In its simulations, AllianceBernstein's tail-risk parity approach succeeded in reducing equity exposures, despite volatility being near record lows. It achieved this goal by registering very high levels of future equity-tail-loss risk based on information such as that contained in the equity option skew. As it argues, the skew was signalling the potential tail dangers stemming from excessive leverage. "Our research has shown that implied ETLs provide more accurate estimates of future realised drawdowns than methods that use historical returns only," says DePalma.
At a glance
• A weakness of the risk parity approach is that it fails to take into account extreme events.
• It is possible to measure the scale of possible tail risks by harnessing the options markets.
• A more radical approach is to assume the markets exist in radically different states.
• Investors can monitor market variables to gauge when a transition is likely.
Using options markets in this way gives market estimates of the likelihood of future catastrophic market falls. Tail-risk parity portfolios would be adjusted to reflect changes in these estimates through incorporating the information provided by the option markets.
DePalma argues that there is a long history of empirical and academic research showing option-implied information provides strong predictors of future risk (tail/crash risk, jumps and volatility) and returns that are robust and/or subsume factors such as realised volatility measures (short and long term), economic factors (interest rate term structure, credit spreads) and stock factors (such as size, momentum, dividend yield and turnover). That predictive power, he argues, has been documented across asset classes (equity indices, single stocks, fixed income, currency). Harnessing this information and deploying it properly in portfolios is key. "Theoretical models conclude option prices provide predictive information because informed traders prefer positions in options due to the implicit leverage," says DePalma.
Edgar Peters, a partner at First Quadrant, says there is a more robust approach to tackling tail risk within a risk parity framework that is based on a radical premise. He sees the world as existing in two regimes – namely, either one of high uncertainty or one of low uncertainty. So tail risk can change over the market cycle and anchoring to the long-term standard deviation can overstate and understate actual risk.
Being the average is the exception rather than the rule, argues Peters. Complicating matters further, the transition from one state to the other is not a stable point although it can estimate the conditions for such a transition to occur. This is achieved through monitoring variables such as the VIX (the implied volatility of the S&P 500 index options) and other fundamental risks such as credit and monetary policy.
If there are two states for the world, then tail-risk hedging should also vary dramatically in the two states. In a world of low uncertainty, portfolios should invest heavily in high-growth assets and as implied volatilities of options will be low, options will be cheap and risk parity is not required. Hedging tail risk in portfolios would then be done most cheaply through option-based approaches such as purchasing out of the money put options. When there is a switch to a state of high uncertainty, risk parity can be applied which would increase exposure to bonds at the expense of growth assets.
AQR, also a pioneer of risk parity, has a different take. As Mendelson argues, while a few institutional investors are insuring against tail risk directly, the long-term cost of such insurance strategies may be as much as the payouts: "We prefer a more fundamental approach, one that reduces tail risk by enhancing the portfolio's overall risk-return characteristics. The most critical objective should be to keep the portfolio volatility under control."
Often this approach will blend several distinct strategies: broader diversification, volatility-based risk management and drawdown control. These can be combined with active-management strategies such as managed futures. Many of these strategies play an important role in risk parity portfolios.
Tail risk can be managed through combining four approaches, he argues. First, diversify by risk, as in a risk parity framework. Second, actively manage volatility, which means adjusting allocations in the light of changing market volatilities. Third, embrace uncorrelated alternatives such as managed futures. Finally, investors need to have a tail event plan before tail event occurs.
"We believe a predetermined, systematic risk management plan – from a simple stop-loss with position limits to a more complex drawdown control system – can reduce the likelihood of investors being forced into an imprudent market exit," says Peters. While few investors would argue with that sentiment, putting it into practice is a challenge that most have not overcome.

Stoneham's voters could drastically change the political landscape in the community this spring by enacting a trio of Town Meeting initiatives aimed at establishing term limits, blocking municipal workers from holding some public offices, and allowing citizens to recall any elected official.
In recent months, each of the warrant articles has generated spirited debate amongst the town's Select Board, which would be the only government body subjected to both the proposed six-year term limit and the workplace restrictions.
Earlier this winter, town officials, noting the warrant articles are being sponsored by private citizens, declined to take a position on all but the proposal to prohibit active town employees from also serving on the Select Board.
Advising citizens to nix that proposal, the Select Board characterized the ban as a personal attack on colleague Raymie Parker, who works for Stoneham's Police Department. Opponents of the proposal also charge that the bylaw would unfairly and perhaps illegally constitute a discriminatory ban on a protected class of citizens.
The recall petition, also the cause of some controversy, will reportedly be reworked in the coming weeks to include higher thresholds for removing public officials from elected boards. Though not yet officially endorsed by town leaders, the recall referendum bylaw enjoys broad support from most Select Board members.
Each of the three proposals seeks to amend Stoneham's Town Code, which would require a two-thirds majority in order to pass at the annual spring assembly. Each of the measures would also likely require the approval of the state Legislature.
Recall petition
In March, Parker, then the junior member of the Select Board, told her peers that she authored the recall referendum bylaw as a private citizen to empower citizens with the right to yank public officials from office prematurely.
According to the Select Board member, she began exploring the issue after reflecting on a policy discussion a year earlier in regards to a town sexual harassment policy. She later became convinced the recall regulations were needed in town after political scandals rocked the Massachusetts communities of Rockland, Saugus, and Fall River.
In Rockland, eight-year Board of Selectmen veteran Edward Kimball resigned from his office last summer after allegations emerged that he lied about his involvement a Town Hall sex scandal.
More recently, Fall River Mayor Jasiel Correia was recalled by citizens of the community — and in a bizarre twist swept right back into office as a replacement candidate — after he was indicted by federal authorities last fall on tax and wire fraud charges.
In light of what has gone on in Rockland, Saugus, and now in Fall River, [I realized] the Town of Stoneham does not have a recall mechanism in place. "You as residents have no way to call us to the mat," explained Parker at a Town Hall meeting in early March.
In its original form, the bylaw would enable private citizens to initiate the recall process by gathering 100 signatures from registered voters. Before a recall referendum went to the ballot, at least 10 percent of all registered voters — or roughly 1,500 citizens — would have to sign on in support of convening a special election.
Any elected official in Stoneham could be subjected to a recall, as long as they were at least six months into their term.
Vehemently opposed to the recall regulations, Select Board member Caroline Colarusso, espousing the belief that she was the target of Parker's proposal, has argued the thresholds for launching a recall will be quickly seized upon by those seeking to remove political enemies.
Predicting Stoneham would become paralyzed by an endless cycle of retaliatory recall elections, Colarusso and Select Board member Anthony Wilson also insisted the legislation should include some type of due cause provision. Without that stipulation, according to Colarusso, local officials could be ousted out-of-office based on wild rumors and innuendos without a fair opportunity to defend themselves.
"You're kind of opening the door to a lot of political playfulness for people who don't want someone in office…I could get 1,000 signature down at Stop & Shop this weekend. Most people probably wouldn't even ask what they're signing," said Colarusso. "Innocent until proven guilty. That's the way I believe in due process."
In a compromise meant to allay fears about politically-motivated reprisals, Parker has since announced her intent to modify the initiative by increasing the voting thresholds needed to trigger proposed recall elections. Parker now wants to hike the initial standard to 300 signatures, while under the second phase of the process, she proposes increasing the threshold to 20 percent of the electorate.
Term limits
Apparently catching wind of Parker's efforts to place the recall initiative on the Town Meeting agenda, Colarusso introduced a competing measure to impose new term limits and shorten the election cycle for Select Board members.
"We just had a lengthy discussion about not wanting to have someone stuck in office for three years, if there's been some egregious activity going on. This warrant, I think, solves that problem," she said, when introducing the proposal. "It also sets term limits for members of the Select Board, so they can only remain [in office] for six years, or three, two-year terms."
Colarusso, the Select Board's senior member, contends her article is a better alternative to recalls, because it eliminates the possibility that an elected official can be removed from office due to unfounded allegations or politically-motivated witch hunts.
She believes that by setting a two-year term, voters will be assured that an unwanted Select Board member — even if refusing to resign in the face of a scandal — can be swiftly replaced at a future municipal election.
However, other town officials have suggested the initiative, in shortening the election cycle, might stifle Select Board members' ability to concentrate on town business, because they'll be constantly campaigning for reelection.
"I'm a fan of term limits, so I like that side of it. I wish it was separated," said Select Board member Anthony Wilson during a Town Hall meeting in March. "I feel like you spend your first year doing this learning and making mistakes. By your second year, you're just getting your feet underneath you. So I think three years is the right fit."
Critics of the proposal have also argued long-term office holders, rather than being a detriment to the community, are able to effectively shape policy by gaining a comprehensive understanding of Stoneham's inner workings.
Workplace restrictions
Labeling the warrant article as a direct attack upon Parker, the Select Board immediately recommended unfavorable action on the last proposal to block town workers from sitting on what is arguably Stoneham's most prominent government body.
Late last month, private citizen Christopher Whitney, who sponsored the initiative, refuted those allegations.
According to Whitney, rather than attacking the continued tenure of Parker, who topped the ticket in a four-way race for the Select Board in the spring of 2018, he introduced the measure in response to the state Legislature's vote last December to give itself an approximate 6 percent pay hike.
Telling the town officials he was disgusted by that action, especially since both members of Stoneham's legislative delegation had just been reelected a month earlier, Whitney said the bylaw intends to eliminate situations where Select Board members could utilize their station to influence their own compensation packages.
Specifically, Whitney is concerned about the Select Board's role in setting the salary of the town administrator. The Town Hall CEO, who in addition to supervising most Town Hall workers, also delivers the community's draft operating budget each year and serves as Stoneham's chief negotiating officer during contract talks with department managers and union personnel.
"To me, it accomplishes a couple of things. It protects the Select Board and the town administrator from what could be construed as a conflict-of-interest with budgets and salaries that have to be decided and voted upon," the Bellevue Road resident said.
Despite that clarification, town officials remain staunchly opposed to the Town Meeting proposal. According to Select Board Chair Shelly MacNeill, the state's existing conflict-of-interest and ethics laws adequately shield the community from the types of abuses feared by Whitney. She also suggested that given Stoneham's history, when a variety of privately-employed officials have been forced to recuse themselves on matters due to potential conflicts-of-interest, there is scant evidence that a municipal worker is more compromised than any other person.
"Even people who don't work for the town have conflicts. We've had people who've had to recuse themselves who weren't employees, and they've had to [refrain from taking important votes] more than anyone else," she said. "So I don't know that you can avoid [having representatives] with a potential conflict. What's important is that we follow the law and disclose [those circumstances]."

Her poor health is owing somewhat to the exclusion of air, and she has become so tender that she cannot have air without making her sick. If she continues to indulge this diseased imagination, she will be able to bear scarcely a breath of air. She ought to have the windows lowered in her room all through the day, that there may be a circulation of air. God is not pleased with her for thus murdering herself. It is unnecessary. She has become thus sensitive through indulging a diseased mind. Air she needs, air she must have. She is destroying not only her own vitality, but that of her husband and daughter, and of all who visit her. The air in her room is decidedly impure and dead; none can have health who accustom themselves to such an atmosphere. She has petted herself in this matter until she cannot visit the houses of her brethren without taking cold. For her own sake and for the sake of those around her, she must change this; she should accustom herself to the air, increasing it a little every day, until she can breathe the pure, vitalizing air without injury. The surface of the skin is nearly dead, because it has no air to breathe. Its million little mouths are closed, because they are clogged by the impurities of the system, and for want of air. It would be presumption to let in a free draft of air at once from out of doors, all through the day. Let it in by degrees; change gradually. In a week she can have the windows down two or three inches day and night.

Well, for one thing, there's this.
I remember when the Wii was announced. A great many of the commenters predicted its failure. "It's hardly more powerful than the GameCube!" they complained. But I had a feeling it would be a success.
Because I wanted one.
Now, I'm a gamer. Whether or not I qualify for hardcore anymore is certainly debatable. I don't game as much as I used to, and I'm less willing to invest in the big games any more because I know it'll be a challenge (at least) to get past the learning curve to where I'm actually reasonably good at the game. (And I don't mean good in some Internet competition way, but just good enough to actually enjoy the process. Which is the point, after all.)
But I've been playing with computers since back when they were shared and billing was done by the millisecond. And I played on the first Pong machines. Certainly, I played computer games when doing so meant you had to type in the code yourself. And that was where I left off with video games (as distinct from computer games): When I could program my own.
The last console I owned, therefore (and one of two or three in toto) was the Channel F. I didn't like the action on the Atari 2600 (or the graphics), though the Atari 800 was a cool computer. By the time the NES rolled around in 1983, I had long abandoned the arcades and really couldn't much relate to the kinds of games that ran thereupon. (I was playing strategy, PC-style RPGs which are entirely different from the Japanese style ones.)
I wasn't real thrilled to live through the late '90s and the constant calls of "PC gaming is dying!" For one thing, PC gaming is the wild west of development: Anyone can write a game and try to sell it. There are no licensing fees. I'm not a Microsoft fan but they're smart enough to realize that making their development platform available for free benefits them tremendously. (Of course, they struggle with the other side, which is artificially restricting games from the PC platform to boost their XBox cred.)
What I realized about PC gaming, though, is that I played it when since before it was worthy of the word "niche", through the years where entire stores were devoted to PC games, and now, as their relative market shrinks. So why wouldn't I keep on playing when it goes back to being a niche again?
Which brings us to the Wii. Since I missed out on the NES and all subsequent iterations of consoles (though I bought an N64 and a PS2 for The Boy at various times), I really, really, really hate the controllers. One thing I've never been fond of, gaming-wise, is the tendency of some games to require artificially complex control sequences to do stuff. (Yeah, what I like about fighters is offset by annoyance over having to do these 7-8 sequence combos.)
So, somewhat ironically, consoles are to me, a closed world. I can't bring myself to memorize random codes. I'll do a little finger training for a strategy game, for example, but the basics mechanics have been standardized on those for years. To me, the control interface is a barrier that we should strive to eliminate. (This is one reason I always look at what Molyneux is doing; I know he feels the same way and it's interesting to me how he manifests this drive.)
Even if I did go through the trouble–what is essentially meta-game effort–when it's all done, I'm clicking buttons. If part of the fun of playing a computer game is doing something you can't really do otherwise (slaying a dragon, fighting a god, etc.) then the fact that you're doing it just by pressing buttons removes some of the elemental joy. (A good place to start with any game is to find some action that's pleasurable, and that you can find a pleasurable form of feedback for.)
The action/feedback cycle is the key element of electronic gameplay. There are some games that are little more than that. There are some games which have all the elements of gameplay but miss on that, and they're virtually unplayable. But once you're oriented within a game, there's another element to the cycle:
You mean to do something, you take the steps needed to accomplish that, and the game gives you feedback. The complex key-sequence is an artificial barrier introduced into the action sequence and the learning curve for any game is what it takes to unite intention with action.
The Wii changes that by using your native action to power the game action. So you don't have to train much, and the training you do parallels what you would actually do in real life. It's a weak parallel, of course, a shadow of what's necessary, and in some ways completely wrong from a technical standpoint. (Think Guitar Hero which, while not a Wii game, is the exact same principle.)
Anyway, the introduction of the whole body into the game is an element of immersion completely lacking from traditional gaming, and it's simultaneously both powerful and intuitive.
So I'm not surprised that the Wii sales figures are comparable to those of the PS3 and Xbox 360 combined. And I'm not surprised that the Wii Fit was the #1 selling game on Black Friday. The games are absolutely trivial: On the Wii Fit, there's a game where you hit soccer balls thrown at you with your head by leaning left and right (and returning to center as needed). This is a two button game, or three button at the most, and you'd be bored of it nigh instantly.
Add the body factor, though, and you've got something.
Ski jumping? That's practically a one-button game. But make the actions leaning and flexing like an actual jump, and there you are.
I suppose it's good for you in some ways, but that misses the point. It's the feedback. Eventually, of course, you'll get so good at the the controls that you'll need something subtler and more challenging, which isn't something we've seen a lot of yet.
But this is promising. Hell, the Wii Fit board is fun, but why not have, alternatively, ankle controllers? Cap or ear piece for head motion?
Think not? Well, consider that one of the prime laws of gaming has been that you couldn't get people to buy peripherals. You always had to make your game for the lowest common equipment denominator. What changed that?
Dance Dance Revolution.
Then what?
Guitar hero.
Now, the Wii Fit. And what do they all have in common? A level of physicality that hardcore gamers eschew. Even Guitar Hero: You can just click the buttons, but isn't what makes it attractive that you can ham it up as a guitar god? Hell, I play guitar–but I don't play anything like the archetypal rock star. It doesn't appeal to me much, but I can see the appeal–and it doesn't surprise me that various real-life rock bands play it.
The Wii itself may be a fad. And it may be supplanted by additions to the Xbox and the Playstation, or by another console altogether. (Although Nintendo certainly seems to be using its brand well.)
But the physicality? I think that's here to stay.

Timken is the only major I know of that imports Chinese bearings, so if you see an SKF or FAG with Chinese markings on it, be suspect. It would also be a good idea to buy from a reputable supplier since there are alot of counterfeit bearings coming out of Asia. FAG and SKF just confiscated 40 tons of bearings from a German distributor.

Job losses slow, unemployment declines
Job losses slow, unemployment declines
Courtesy of Tim Iacono at The Mess That Greenspan Made
The Labor Department reported a decline of 247,000 in nonfarm payrolls during the month of July, an improvement from a revised job loss total of 443,000 in June, and the unemployment rate fell slightly from 9.5 percent to 9.4 percent.
While the headline paints a rosy picture of an improving labor
Since many auto industry job cuts were carried out earlier in the year as Chrysler and GM entered and exited bankruptcy, there are fewer job
As shown below, manufacturing payrolls declined by 53,000 on a seasonally adjusted basis, the smallest loss for this category since a year ago in August, however, on an unadjusted basis, manufacturing job losses of 61,000 were the fewest since 1965. Based on the relationship between the adjusted and unadjusted data in recent years, removing these effects would push July job losses to over 300,000.
The decline in July nonfarm payrolls was nonetheless a big improvement over the first half of the year and recent data continues to be revised upward, the initially reported decline of 322,000 in May revised to 303,000 and the June total from 467,000 to 443,000.
By historical measures, however, job losses remain severe. While this was the best reading for nonfarm payrolls in 11 months, it would rank as the fourth worst month of job losses during the last recession, not far behind the peak decline of 325,000 in nonfarm payrolls following the September 11th attack in 2001.
The unemployment
In another indication that the improvement in the headline figures belie the underlying persistent weakness in the labor market, the number of long-term unemployed (those who have been jobless for 27 weeks or more) rose by 584,000 in July, a month when 1 in 3 unemployed persons were jobless for 27 weeks or more.

Christmas, Thanksgiving and Easter are all wholesome family holidays. Halloween however gives those who want to a excellent opportunity to look sexy. A lack of confidence is rarely attractive, let alone sexy so make sure you really want to attract attention to yourself before you try pulling this off. Get started at step number one below to look sexy on Halloween.
1Decide who you want to be sexy on Halloween for. You can dress in a sexy costume for a party, look sexy for a cozy night in with a loved one watching movies, look sexy when you trick-or-treat or, use Halloween to give yourself a sexier look to how you're usually seen. Halloween is great opportunity to try a new look, especially something sexier than your usual look. If, for example, you're a typical, hard working single parent,who wouldn't normally dress up as something sexy like a playboy bunny or a firefighter, you can on Halloween! Your sexy look might give you the confidence to talk to someone new while you're trick-or-treating, at a party, or greeting trick-or-treaters and their parents at your home.
2Make sure you have your whole look ready well before the event. You can look sexy spontaneously of course, but you'll feel more comfortable if you know you've got everything prepared. Try on the whole outfit and practice your hairstyle and make-up, if applicable, before hand. Make sure you can move comfortably in your outfit, if applicable, and consider what might happen when you come to take it off. Your sexy Andorian outfit might be seductive, but staining towels blue is a bit of a downer!
3Play the part. When you put on your sexy halloween outfit, make sure to not ruin the effect by not acting sexy. Whether you've chosen a costume or you've dressed sexily in "conventional' clothes or lingerie, remember why you're doing this and "play the part". You can still be yourself, if, for example, you're a little shy and you've chosen a sexy fairy outfit you can be timidly flirty, but, if you're Dracula or Wonder Woman, to be sexy, you can't be a wall flower. Play up to your costume if you want to, it's okay to act out of character in costume on Halloween if you feel comfortable.
4Don't overdo your look. You can be as sexy as you wish, provided you follow the dress code of any party venue and, remain appropriate if there will be young children or people who are easily offended around. The most sexy of outfits could be ruined if you cross the line into comedic, horrific or trashy. An offensive outfit is not sexy so make sure you avoid anything inappropriate. If your sexy halloween look is for yourself, a sexual partner/s or an adults only party, you can use Halloween to wear almost whatever you like, and, if it makes you think you look sexy, you should go with it, even if others might not be attracted. Different people find different looks sexy so if you don't want to wear anything revealing or figure hugging you don't have to.
5Use your costume and props to give you sex appeal. Choose a costume that makes you feel sexy. A mask might boost your confidence and help your look sexy if your features are covered. If there's a part of your body your less confident about, choose a costume to hide it, if you've got a feature you want to show off, find a costume or outfit that makes the most of it. Choose clothes that make you feel like someone else if you want to, as long as you think that person is sexy. Wearing leather, silk, satin, latex or lace can make you feel sexy so thing about these fabrics. High heels, form fitting clothes, stockings etc can all be incorporated into a sexy halloween look. If you carry a whip, a devil's pitch fork, a cowboy/girl's lasso or other props, how you carry them and what you do with them can make you look sexy.
6If you're unsure what sexy halloween look to go for, here are some suggestions:
- Vampire
- Black Cat
- Rock Star
- Super Hero/Heroine
- Fairy
- Devil
- Cleopatra/Caesar
- Pirate
- Playboy Bunny
Community Q&A
- Keep in mind that younger kids may see you.Thanks!

6220 Springhill Drive, Greenbelt, MD 20770
Resident • 2015 - 2019 Not Recommended
Reviewed 01/08/2019
This is the worst complex in the world. They are fool of ----. The office staff have no compassion for the residents at all. The government workers are shutdown with no pay and they don't care. The want their rent on time but they don't want to clean up the building and the grounds. They have dog poop all on the sidewalks, the buildings have trash in them, you can't go into your apartment without smelling weed all day, and you can't open your windows for the weed smell and the animal urine and feces outside. They need to do better at keeping the buildings and grounds clean and free from animal poop before they try to come at you for rent. I wouldn't recommend this complex to anyone not even my dog. They can go to HELL real fast and burn at the stake for the way they're running this complex.

More Description
One of the most enigmatic painters who ever lived, Hieronymus Bosch (c.1453-1516) is also one of the most enduringly popular. His fantastical scenes of grotesque creatures, devils, and monsters are open to many interpretations, keeping his art endlessly fascinating over the centuries.
This luxurious volume -- published to coincide with a major exhibition in Bosch's native Netherlands -- examines his art in the context of his times. With every Bosch painting and drawing superbly reproduced in full color, this beautiful book penetrates the mystery that has always surrounded the artist. His worldview, often seen as bizarre, is shown to correspond with that of his contemporaries, among them the scholar and humanist Erasmus. What makes Bosch unique, the authors show, are his unfettered imagination and immense talent.

Fat Cells
When starting the journey of losing face, arm, gut, thighand but fat cells, there are many questions people are wondering about but themost common is where to start from. There is a chance that the way of using oneplan is successful, but this happens rarely because the fat cells tend to shrinkdue to the effect of the larger part of the fat loss methods. Fat cells can beeliminated but you will have to use efficient methods. Fat burning depends greatly on the metabolism, which is a biochemical process occurringin the human body. It performs the nutrient breakdown following digestion andthis provides the body with energy, it eliminates waste material and helps the newtissue to grow. Many types of cells are present in the human body and some ofthem are skin cells, fat cells, muscle cells and so on. Their functioningdepends on the energy and this leads to the fat storage once the number ofcalories consumed remains on the same level and the metabolism rate decreases.But this rate can be increased, mostly with good exercising regime, hormoneactivity, body temperature, food digestion and the food type consumed.
Boosting Metabolism
The fat cells located on the face, arms, gut, thighs and but can be eliminatedby following five steps. The first refers to the food items consumed because some foods,like some spices, can make the rate of the metabolism increase. So try toexclude carbohydrates and include proteins in your nutrition. Next is the timewhen meals are taken. Breakfast should be the largest meal and then thereshould be 4 or 5 meals with decreased quantity of food. Metabolism rate will beincreased if there is constant but smaller intake of food and the fat burningwill be impaired if you eat big meals. The metabolism rate will be slow if thebreakfast is skipped and the body will be scared of famine if you do not eat. Try to eat something occasionally and the metabolismrate will remain increased. The most diet will help you lose muscle weightand water weight and the pounds will return in these situations. Diets usually causethe cells to shrink and this is not what we want, because we want them to be burnedand eliminated. Exercises must be done because the fat is burned as much as themuscles work, which is why the weight loss will be faster if the muscles are involvedmore. We want to burn fat cells, but know that calories and not the fat cells are only burned by certain activities, so monitor the use of your muscles.Sprinting is a great way of exercising for the elimination of fat cells. Dohard and short bursts for as long as you can and then pause for two or threeminutes and do the same again afterwards. If you do this for 7 to 12 minutes,your body will have high metabolism rate for the whole day. Do somecalisthenics in the morning as well. The last step is proper breathing.Benefits such as mind clarity, improved relaxation, increased toxin eliminationand stabilized heart rate can be achieved by using your nose for inhaling andmouth for exhaling.

My date commented that the pimento cheese was so good, he could bathe in it!
Cydney we're glad you guys enjoyed the pimento dip, excellent choice for a tasty bath soap.
Waiter was amazing and I live the eclectic food options
We're glad you enjoyed your time here with us, we can't wait to see you again!
Ida Claire was delicious! Service was very friendly and it was easy to hold a conversation at our table without too much background noise. I really enjoyed the blackberry mule I had—will definitely be returning to try it out for brunch!
Food was simply not good. I suggest the chef spend some time in South Carolina or Tennessee and learn real modern Southern cooking.
Celebrating two friends birthdays. We had a nice evening.
Great service and food!
Katie was an awesome waitress!
Love this place! Food is great, and I love the attention to detail!
Interesting food pairing and tasty dishes. Go for a good time-not an intimate meal.
Moms 50th and it was great! Staff was pleasant.
Overall the experience was very good, I would recommend this restaurant.
The food was excellent, the service was SO slow. It took over an hour to get our food. Even the drinks were slow. Hopefully the service will be better next time.
Although our waiter was nice and attentive, it took close to an hour for us to get our food (which was nothing difficult to put through the kitchen). It was not peak brunch time as we went at 3:00pm on purpose. With a toddler, sitting their waiting for food was unnecessary and very frustrating.
Food was delicious. We ordered shrimp and grits, pancakes, salad, and grilled chicken. Bloody Mary and mimosas were good as well. The chicken looked like it was a bit raw so we sent it back but the chef came out and explained that it was brined for a long time and it only looked raw. Wish the manager had told us that before taking away the plates as we felt wasteful after... we wouldn't have switched out if that were explained earlier. They kindly replaced the food with a delicious frittata and another chicken. Great service overall.
It was my mother's bday. The waitress was amazing, I hate I forgot her name but she made my mom' and her friends experience great!
Birthday dinner
Service was great! We tried both the Nashville Cauliflower appetizer and the biscuits. Biscuits were awesome! The cauliflower had a strange after taste. We both hand sandwiches - I did the chicken salad and my friend had the rueben. Both were excellent. However, both came with sweet potato chips that were soggy/wet... neither of us ate because, frankly, we were a little grossed out. Cocktails were spectacular!
Enjoyed ourselves during a "Couples date night" outing. Very pleased that our open table reservation allowed us to get seated right away! We enjoyed our server who was very efficient and knowledgeable. The drinks were great the food was good although a bit pricey.
We celebrated our daughter's birthday and had a great dinner. The service was friendly and attentive. I ordered the ancient grains and shrimp bowl, which was delicious. The Brussels Sprouts were yummy. I love the atmosphere!
We enjoyed the visit here. The food was good - the service was great and the atmosphere was good as well (a little loud, but not bad). The red fish was fantastic, and they do have great biscuits!! A little pricey, but so is every other place in the area.
very nice place and very romantic place and the food was good
I would definitely recommend this restaurant to others. I like the different type foods on the menu. The energy and atmosphere here is very busy. The staff was busy but it didn't take long for them to come by and take our order. Glad I used open table. I think the wait would have been 30-45 minutes had I not.
Chicken and waffles were AMAZING!
Very nice decor with a good vibe, although high noise level on a Friday night might bother some. The pot roast type dish (I forget name) was very good, as was the chicken and waffles. Roasted cauliflower was a nice appetizer and the wine by the bottle was fairly priced (by the glass seemed high). Overall very nice experience.
Excellent service and food! Thank you!
Food was okay, must have been a off night compared to other times I have done business gatherings. Little slow on service in beginning but picked up. Still left great tip as it was not server fault. Overall okay for price
First time dining here and our group of 6 loved it. We were seated within 10 minutes of our reservation time and had great service. The food was amazing and we can't wait to go back!
My husband had the redfish and it was divine. I had the short rib and it was not as tender as I would have expected it to be. Also there was a strange smokey taste to the entire dish. The biscuits alone are worth the drive - simply delicious. Not the place to go on a Friday night with a group. Too noisy to hear each other! My favorite is lunch here.
Waitress was very nice and helpful but the service was very slow. It took forever to get our drinks and food.
Our waitress was amazing and the service was great! Will definitely go back again!
Airstream Luncheon – Family gathering with great atmosphere, good drinks and very good food selections with exceptional vegan plates that Executive Chef O'Bryan put together for a few quests to make for an outstanding relaxing two plus hour dining experience. You can't go wrong making this your destination for a fun food filled outing.
The food and service was wonderful. The noise level was high, but tolerable since we were in a booth on the edge of the room. The waitress was one of the best I have seen - observant and efficient, but not hovering. There was a salad that came with our order and we did not order one. The waitress left it with the impression that the accident delivery was ours and I assumed at no cost. However, when I got the bill there was a $5 added for the salad. I am always suspect when that happens.
Ida Claire was awesome for Sunday Brunch. Festive drinks and the Shrimp and Grits completely slayed my crave. Green fried tomatoes were very good - except any good Southern knows you are supposed to use corn meal not flour! And the chocolate ganache cake was out of this world - moist, wonderful butter cream with a ganache outside. Definitely on my list! Negative is it's too loud - they need some sound proofing.
Thank you so much! So happy your enjoyed everything. Apologies about the noise level. it can get load when we are packed.
First time to visit. Was unprepared for the noise level in the restaurant. Very difficult to enjoy a conversation with my dining partner without yelling. Food was OK, but nothing special at all. I was disappointed that the crab and corn "beignets" were over-fried cornmeal hush puppies. Shrimp and grits were good with very cheesy grits and grilled shrimp. My dining partner enjoyed the Monte Cristo sandwich, but the chips accompanying the sandwich were cold, chewy and unflavorful--basically inedible. Our server, Adrian, did a nice job but was very overworked with LOTS of tables. It seemed quite apparent that the restaurant was short-staffed. Been there, done that......
Extraordinary customer service and ambience!! I love it!!
Our server was great and I LOVE this place, but they don't handle their busy times very well (we were there for two hours due to how long our orders took to process and we didn't order much between the two of us)
They don't manage their reservations well. And they don't care much for this so if this is key for you I wouldn't recommend a visit. Other than that, the food is really good and the service is good once you get to sit. I had to wait for more than 40 minutes even with a confirmed reservation. When taking to the hostess about it she didn't even apologize and said this is "normal" there.
Made a reservation for 7:45. When we got there, we were told it would be about 15 minutes before we got our table. At 8 PM, we were once again told it would be about 15 minutes before we got a table. At 8:25, we finally got out table.
To apologize for the delay, we were given a free appetizer and was offered free drinks (which we turned down as I am off of alcohol for a while). The appetizer was the pimento cheese and sweet potato chips - which were very good.
I asked the waiter his suggestion on my choice and he said to get the Nashville Hot Chicken. (I LOVE Nashville Hot Chicken). When it came out, it looked great, but it was super super mild (think regular KFC) and after I ate half of it, I got a really bad stomach ache that lasted for about 3 hours.
However, my date got the Monte Cristo sandwich and loved it.
Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this place. I will probably never return.
The food is always solid at Ida Claire, and I love the happy hour deals. Will definitely be back.

About Rana Plaza, wages - and background information we all should know but probably don't...
When we say fashion industry, we actually mean the entire industry for lifestyle products in general: garments, but also shoes, accessories, homeware (everything produced in the "garment" sector, textiles, leather, plastiv fibres, etc.).
When we speak of fashion offsetting – we actually mean the offsetting of fashion production conditions. We are not talking about the ecological aspects of fashion production. They are terrible. But for now, we focus on the social aspects.
We hope to initiate real change here – so we can move along the production chain towards material sourcing.
Please click on the headlines to go to the articles.
FairBuy's Statement
FairBuy's Statement reads: "The fashion industry is broken. Let's fix it!"
What we mean with "broken" is easy: it doesn't work.We, the fashion consumers, would love to pay a tiny little premium for the workers' well-being. The fashion industry, the brands & retailers, know that. Usually they jump to our wishes in no time. Only in this aspect, they cannot. There is a demand, and a willingness to pay, but the market cannot serve it – we speak of a market failure, due to a broken part in the entire system (here, it is the sourcing processes): Along with its weakest link, the garment industry is broken. And we – together with you – want to fix it.
The Living Wage and Consumers' Price Sensitivity
We are sure, consumers of lifestyle products would happily agree to pay a tiny little premium for the workers' wellbeing. We hear often that consumers are highly price-sensitive and greedy and don't think about the workers while shopping – yet our research convinced us even more that this is not the case.
The Industry & Indirect Sourcing
So why can't the brands and retailers fulfill our wishes? (This is why we call the industry broken) Because they cannot simply raise the wages. In most cases, they don't even know who made their products. And they can't even really be blamed for it, as this is the industry standard, with all its benefits and problems.
We love shopping, we love fashion – we need to fix this. We need to 1) alleviate the most pressing problems of the workers and 2) fix the system. We picked up an ideaby Prof. Muhammad Yunus and developped it further so that we, the consumers, can decide and initiate real change.
Rana Plaza & After – What HAS Changed
You think you knew what happened on April 24, 2013? You know that many people died. Do you know what they died for? Do you know that in addition 2500 got hurt (many of whom lost their health for good, or the ability to earn their livelihood)? Do you Know that the building was visited by the German TÜV only months before the collapse and cleard by inspectors in the morning? Do you know what has happened afterwards, about the Accord, the Alliance and the Arrangement? Find out more about the collapse and the changes it already brought about here.
(...coming back soon)
Rana Plaza – Who is to Blame?
Tricky question, who is to blame, who is responsible, who should pay into the compensation fund… Many have tried to answer these questions, and so have we. Read here our account and also our personal opinion, for example why we think it is wrong to blame the companies who had sourced from Rana Plaza (as long as they contributed into the compensation fund).
(...coming back soon)
The Good
Find here our lists of good examples in the fashion industry. There are those who already produce fair. They get their own section of praise. But there will be a list dedicated to those who help fixing the industry.
Those who have contributed (a reasonable amount) and pledge to pay living wages.
Those who establish direct relationships with their suppliers.
