Retailers can stand up to Amazon
My wife loves Amazon.
Doorbell rings it's another Amazon delivery.
What is it this time? Hand towels? Dish washing-liquid? Groceries?
Personally, I only use Amazon for products I can't find in local stores.
Yet my wife is not alone. Every day Amazon processes more than 20 million orders – from computers to cucumbers. Many of these items can be delivered to your door by Amazon within a few hours.
Some predict this trend spells doom for brick-and-mortar stores.
Don't believe the hype.
Amazon's growth is impressive, but it's not the be-all and end-all when it comes to retail sales.
To survive brick-and-mortar retailers shouldn't panic. They need to get smart.
As a brick-and-mortar retailer, what can you offer that Amazon can't?
- Seeing is believing. Amazon's online catalog and customer reviews are very good. But nothing beats being able to see and touch the product. How big is it? How durable? Many people have questions and they would love to get immediate answers from a real person who is knowledgeable about your products. Sure, some people will visit your store to see an item and then order it from Amazon. But what if your business offered a slightly better price, or some other extra to enhance the sale. In many cases Amazon can deliver products within a few hours, but nothing beats the instant gratification of being able to take the product with you from a brick and mortar store.
- Service, service, service. Try calling Amazon. It's not easy to find their number. When you call, I hope you like talking to computers and getting transferred from this one to that one. As a brick-and-mortar retailer you can bring in customers and keep them coming back by making your shop welcoming and fun to visit. Your team members should be knowledgeable and friendly. Be willing to do whatever it takes to keep customers satisfied. And you should be collecting the e-mail addresses of customers, so you can keep them looped into special offers. Hope your store is playing Christmas music and you're offering complimentary eggnog, cider and candy canes.
- Amazon doesn't carry everything. You should be looking out for unique products in your field. Who are the makers and innovators in your community developing? Those makers are looking for a marketplace to debut their products. Why can't it be your shop? Imagine the success experienced by the first Model T Ford dealer!
Amazon is here to stay. If you're smart, your small business can be here to stay, too.

In the few short months since its November 2013 opening, Second Press Wine Bar & Eatery has become one of the first places people think about for "wine country cuisine."
Located on the park in downtown Paso Robles, Second Press presents a casual yet stylish dining experience. Formerly a cooperative wine-tasting room, the space now offers sleek eating areas ranging from the contemporary main dining room to the wine bar, from the welcoming lobby area to the private room that can seat up to 14 for special events.
"(Owner) John (Clarizio) and I met a few years ago and always thought about doing a project together," said executive chef/general manager Ryan Swarthout, a graduate of the California Culinary Academy whose name locals may remember from Robert's and Justin Winery. "We looked at a couple different places, but I'd always thought this would be a great restaurant space."
In developing the menu, the team chose the "wine country" concept because "it doesn't specify a particular region or type of cooking," said Swarthout. That approach obviously leaves a lot of room for creativity in the kitchen, but you can always expect that "we're using a lot of local products, staying very seasonal and changing the menu quarterly."
All those local food purveyors such as Windrose Farm, Alla-Pia Salami, and Vivant Cheese are listed on the menus. Swarthout also noted that Second Press has a full-circle relationship with Swan Family Angus in Templeton. Not only does the menu showcase the beef in certain dishes, but the "fertilizer" from the cattle is used in the restaurant's off-site gardens.
Among the favorites on the Second Press lunch menu are the fried Brussels sprouts drizzled with goat cheese fondue and apple cider glaze, endive and miso salmon salad with blistered cherry tomatoes, and the chipotle, corn and crab chowder. Heartier appetites can check out the prosciutto and figs pizza, the slow-braised pulled pork sandwich with housemade barbecue sauce, or the Press burger, which is that's topped with roasted garlic aioli and all the usual fixings, and served with hand-cut fries.
The pizzas and many of the starters are also available at dinner, and that menu really ups the entrée ante as well. Choose from maple/miso/Dijon salmon or pan roasted scallops, apricot chili chicken or pancetta-wrapped pork tenderloin, spring green risotto or a New York steak. Another popular item is the herb-infused rack of lamb served with smoked maple roasted yam, a wild mushroom duxelle (finely chopped mushrooms) and pomegranate reduction.
Indeed, many of the accompaniments are as creative as the main dish. Depending on what you order, your entrée might come paired with a sweet potato gnocchi, crispy Lotus root chips or even a savory chorizo corn bread pudding.
Recently, Second Press began serving Sunday brunch as well. That menu currently includes vanilla bean Belgian waffles, prosciutto eggs Benedict and a Mediterranean omelette with roasted fingerling potatoes.
In addition to their regular dining hours, Second Press also presents special wine/beer and food pairing events in its lobby area. On Wednesdays are "Flight Nights" with local winemakers, and the restaurant also hosts regular live music events and "Pop Up Tastings," which feature the local wineries and craft breweries that are available on the wine and draft beer list.
"The Pop Ups are an idea we just brainstormed, and they've turned out to be a great opportunity for our guests to try what's on our list," Swarthout. "We really want to create those kind of fun, unique dining experiences for people."

"To write lyrically about the lure of oblivion, of unwanted urges to hurt your infant son, of masochism and the temptation to self-harm – without romanticising or demonising these impulses – takes considerable subtlety and skill. Running beneath all these elegantly written essays, like a melancholy basso continuo, is Jessica Friedmann's struggle with post-natal depression and the way it alienates her from her self and those she loves."--Fiona Capp, Sydney Morning Herald, Pick of the Week.
"In this collection of candid essays, Friedmann weaves thinking from the likes of Lacan, Kristeva and Cixous into her own lived experience of postnatal depression, to more broadly consider the onerous challenges of being female, a writer and a mother. While Things That Helped does not push at the boundaries to the same degree as the writings of Nelson and Kraus, it is more accessible in its structure." --Kara Nicholson, Readings.
"Through adopting the lens of intersectionality, Friedmann avoids becoming a cliche. She demonstrates a solid understanding of the power structures surrounding motherhood, of which race is one. While depression has a strong physiological root cause, she is aware of the societal factors that also contribute. Despite the buffer of whiteness, she suffers due to the unpaid emotional labour of motherhood and the gendered stigma surrounding depression. Friedmann's self-awareness is complemented by a grounding in psychoanalysis, but she strikes a good balance between memoir and theory and never lets the latter weigh down her essays." --Emily Laidlaw, The Australian
'[A]n impressive debut … Friedmann views the world through a lens of intersectionality, and she has a sharp eye for how gender, race, and class shapes the family unit … Her language is deeply visceral, and therefore hugely affecting, when describing the feeling of pregnancy, motherhood, and mental illness … [Things That Helped] makes readers feel and think.'--Books and Publishing
"This is a book you want to read in bits over a week or two – one to close at the end of each part so that the essay can roll around in the back of your mind and unfurl steadily in the heat of your thoughts like a bundled chrysanthemum tea flower."--Grace McCarter, Hot Chicks With Big Brains
"Always careful not to alienate her readers, whether that be through clear and considered explanations about complex points of theory or by admitting her own privilege where it arises, Friedmann has produced an engrossing and fiercely intelligent work, easily digestible by all."--Ana Vucic, RMITV In Review
"While Friedmann's focus is her post-natal depression, her essays radiate out across art, feminism, music, the environment, marriage and race. It is an enthralling journey through her expansive knowledge and sharp mind. This isn't a 10-step recovery narrative. It is a 12-chapter chipping away at the edifice of depression, each chapter offering a thing that helped."--Justine Hyde, Hub and Spoke
""An impressive book, lyrical and erudite even as some of the topics Friedmann broaches are disturbing . . . She effortlessly mixes the personal and the political in this memoir. Critical theory is blended into the book, but remains accessible and not intrusive. The intersection between selfhood, motherhood and womanhood are all written about with visceral candor, and she uses imagery to a startling effect." —Thuy On, The Big Issue
"My breath stops and slows and speeds up as Jessica writes of the birth of her son. I see it, red and raw, her breasts leaking, her stomach tearing. And I feel mine tear too even though, looking underneath the shirt I've plucked from the folds of my boyfriend's bed, my stomach is fine. Whole and mine."--Clare Rankine, Interlude


text: Measuring Productivity of Individual ProgrammersPosted on April 9, 2008 5:22:PM by Steve McConnell to 10x Software DevelopmentMethods & Processes, Testing & QA, productivity, Management, Design, Individual Productivity, ConstructionMy last couple of posts on productivity variations among programmers and the Chief Programmer Team model gave rise to some discussion about hazards of measuring software productivity at the individual programmer level. Software engineering studies normally measure productivity in terms of time to complete a specific task, or sometimes in terms of lines of code per effort-hour, staff-month, or some other measure of effort. Regardless of how you choose to measure productivity, there will be issues. Productivity in Lines of Code Per Staff MonthSoftware design is a non-deterministic activity, and researchers have found 10x variations in the code volume that different designer/developers will generate in response to a particular problem specification. If productivity is measured as lines of code per staff month (or equivalent), that implicitly suggests that the programmer who writes 10 times the amount of code to solve a particular problem is more productive than the programmer who writes 1 times the amount of code. That clearly is not right. Some commenters on my previous blog entry asserted that great programmers always write less code. My observation is that there's a correlation there, but I wouldn't make that statement that strongly. I would say that great programmers always write clear code, and that often translates to less code. Sometimes the clearest, simplest, and most obvious design takes a little more code than a design that's more "clever"--in those cases I think the great programmer will write more code to avoid an overly clever design solution. Regardless, the idea that productivity can be measured cleanly as "lines of code per staff month" is subject to problems either way. The problem with measuring productivity in terms of lines of code per staff month is the old Dilbert joke about Wally coding himself a minivan. If you measure productivity in terms of volume of code generated, some people will optimize for that measure, i.e., they will find ways to write more lines of code, even if more lines of code aren't needed. This isn't really a problem with this specific way of measuring productivity. This really just speaks to the management chestnut that "what gets measured gets done," so you need to be careful what you measure. Productivity in Function PointsSome of the problems of "lines of code per staff month" can be avoided by measuring program size in function points rather than lines of code. Function points are a "synthetic" measure of program size in which inputs, outputs, queries, and files are counted to determine program size. An inefficient design/coding style won't generate more function points, so function points aren't subject to the same issues as lines of code. They are however subject to more practical issues, namely that to get an accurate count of function points you need the services of a certified function point counter (which most organizations don't have available), and the mapping between how function points are counted and individual work packages is rough enough that it becomes impractical to use them to ascertain the productivity of individual programmers. What about Complexity?Managers frequently mention this issue: "I always give my best programmer the most difficult/most complex sections of code to work on. His productivity on any measured basis might very well be low compared to programmers who get easier assignments, but my other programmers would take twice as long." Yep. That's a legitimate issue too. Is There Any Way to Measure Individual Productivity? Difficulties like these have led many people to conclude that measuring individual productivity is so fraught with problems that no one should even try. I think it is possible to measure individual productivity meaningfully, as long as you keep several key factors in mind. 1. Don't expect any single dimensional measure of productivity to give you a very good picture of individual productivity. Think about all the statistics that are collected in sports. We can't even use a single measure to determine how good a hitter in baseball is. We consider batting average, home runs, runs batted in, on-base percentage, and other factors--and then we still argue about what the numbers mean. If we can't measure the "good hitter" using a simple measure, why would we expect we could measure something as complex as individual productivity using a simple measure? What we need to do instead is use a combination of measures, which collectively will give us insights into individual productivities. (Measures could include on-time task completion percentage, manager evaluation on a scale of 1-10, peer evaluation on a scale of 1-10, lines of code per staff month, defects reported per line of code, defects, fixed per line of code, bad fix injection rate, etc.) 2. Don't expect any measures--whether single measures of a combination of measures--to support fine-grain discriminations in productivity among individuals. A good guideline is that measures of individual productivity give you questions to ask but they don't give you the answers. Using measures of performance for, say, individual performance reviews is both bad management and bad statistics. 3. Remember that trends are usually more important than single-point measures. Measures of individual productivity tend to be far less useful in comparing one individual to another than they are in seeing how one individual is progressing over time. 4. Ask why you need to measure individual productivity at all. In a research setting, researchers need to measure productivity to assess the relative effectiveness of different techniques, and their use of these measures is subject to far fewer problems than measuring individual productivity on real projects is. In a real project environment, what do you want to use the measure(s) for? Performance reviews? Not a good idea for the reasons mentioned above. Task assignments? Most managers I talk with say they *know* who their star contributors are without measuring, and I believe them. Estimation? No, the variations caused by different design approaches, different task difficulty, and related factors make that an ineffective way to build up project estimates. On real projects it's hard to find a use for individual productivity measures that is both useful and statistically valid. In my experience, aside from research settings the attempt to measure individual performance arises most often from a desire to do something with the measurements that isn't statistically valid. So while I see the value of measuring individual performance in research settings, I think it's difficult to find cases in which the effort is justified on real projects. (Measuring team productivity and organizational productivity is a different matter -- I'll blog about that soon).

June 20, 2013
This week the Supreme Court ruled that anything you DON'T say WILL be held against you.
Haven't we been hearing "You have the right to remain silent" blah, blah, blah, from the days of Starsky & Hutch and in every single incarnation of Law & Order since?
That right to remain silent, and every other right, that has become the fabric of cops and robbers vernacular refers to Miranda warnings. The case the Supreme Court reviewed,Salinas v. Texas, refers to what happens before Miranda, prior to arrest.
Mr. Genovevo Salinas was a suspect in two murders. The police went to his home where Mr. Salinas gave over his shotgun for ballistics testing, certainly before consulting with an attorney. Then he accompanied the police to the station to "take photographs and to clear him as [a] suspect" (why oh why Geno didn't you bring a lawyer?). Mr. Salinas gets to the station and he is brought to an "interview room" (you say interview, I say interrogation , nevertheless 1-800-LAWYER anyone?).
At this point, the police are questioning Mr. Salinas yet he is "free to leave" which is legalese for, you are not under arrest and the police haven't read you Miranda warnings. Personally, I cannot comprehend that anyone thinks they can just strut out of a room full of cops after handing over a shotgun that may be connected to two murders…… but maybe that's just me. The parties in Salinas did not contest this issue.
So the police are asking Mr. Salinas questions. About murder. Two murders to be precise. Mr. Salinas, who we can now say for certain does not own a television, is in blissful ignorance answering questions until he is asked whether the shotgun from his home would match the shells recovered at the crime scene. Uh-oh. Now Mr. Salinas is silent.
At Mr. Salinas' trial the prosecutor, referring to testimony that came out at trial, told the jury during his closing argument that an innocent person would not have remained silent; an innocent person would have declared as such and would not have stood silent during police questioning. The prosecutor tied that silence to what we in the legal game call 'consciousness of guilt' – which basically means exactly how it sounds. Mr. Salinas was convicted.
According to the ruling, what exactly was Mr. Salinas supposed to do? He should have responded to that question about shotguns with this catchy little phrase – "I invoke my 5thamendment privilege". Well, that certainly rolls off the tongue.
Since the ruling lawyers and professors across this country are scrambling to find alternatives to those exact words because....HELLO.....who talks like that? The Court's opinion doesn't give any variations of that incantation. Bottom line, if you want your silence protected you have to invoke the privilege. Simply put, we do not have the right to NOT speak to the police.
When do we have this right against self-incrimination (ie, the right to not flush our future down the toilet) without expressly stating it? And when will our silence not be held against us? If you are on trial you have a right to not testify on your own behalf and you never have to say anything about the 5th amendment. The only other instance when you do not have to expressly invoke the 5th amendment is when you are "in custody" and have been given Miranda warnings. At that point if you stand mute, like a deer caught in headlights, you are good. Those are the only two exceptions when you do not have to say, "I invoke my 5th amendment privilege".
So stop wasting your time teaching your babies how to say 'daddy' and 'mommy'. Teach them more useful words like '5th Amendment' and 'privilege'. And when the joyous day comes to send them off to college don't forget to pack the most important item – your lawyer's phone number.

Hey all. I have a strange question, and I don't think I've seen it on here yet. I tried to upload a large (89mb) archived (.rar) file to a number of file hosts today. Including megaupload, rapidshare, and mediafire to name a few. Everytime I try, it crashes out. Meaning, it will not upload. The best error I've got reads:

consider the sites restrictions... i have no clue on the above, i dont use'em. If you are using wireless, this could be the issue. Try using another browser or loading IE without addons. If still persists do a line test at dslreports, or do a ping -t to the webhost, and/or do a tracert to the webhost... while you are at it, do a ping -t to your dns (comcast) and your own network. If you see any interupts or timeouts then this COULD be the problem, but not necessarily. Could be a hardware issue then.... troubleshoot down the line.

Hey Digger. Thank you for the reply. I did everything you said, and didn't come up with any problems. Everything seems to be functioning correctly. The file is in fact pass protected, lol. But I tried the same file w/o the pass protection, and it still failed. I have zero clue what is going on. Like I said earlier, files up to 20-ish mb go through fine. It's once they gets bigger, it just stops. All of the hosts allow files larger than the one I'm trying to upload, so that's not it.

Tapping the taboo appeal of physicality is nothing new — there's a long history of using nudity to move product. The music business, like any business, is no exception. If a well-placed buttock gets you to pick a record up off the rack (or click through a blog header), the cover has done its work.
The world was reminded of the joys of NSFW album covers earlier this week when Bat For Lashes unveiled her latest album, The Haunted Man. It's not the dirtiest thing you'll ever see, but it's fun, it gives the vague impression of being artistic, and it grabs the eye.
There are a million terrible NSFW covers floating around the world. No one needs to see them (though you can if you want). But the fun ones, the rad ones, the tasteful and the hilariously distasteful ones, are well worth a look.
Here are 40 of the best in alphabetical order. Albums were selected based on three criteria: overall awesomeness, potential for hilarity, and relative quality of their NSFW attributes. Covers featuring underage kids (Blind Faith, Virgin Killer, Bow Wow Wow) have been left out because we're not pedobears. But before you proceed, be warned that there will be a whole bunch of male and female nudity, as well as … some strangeness. Adjust your brain accordingly.

Along the way, we visit the quizzical and curious, the tragic and comic, and everything in between.
The game is six degrees of Canadian history. Take two seemingly unrelated pieces of Canadian culture and connect the dots through various people, places and events to discover how they're distantly — or maybe not so distantly — related. Along the way we visit the quizzical and curious, the tragic and comic, and everything in between.
The Second World War transformed Canada from a quiet country on the fringes of global affairs, into a critical player in the 20th century's most important struggle. Canada carried out a vital role in the Battle of the Atlantic, the air war over Germany, and other important theatres of the conflict. The war took the lives of 43,000 Canadians.
The First World War of 1914–1918 was the bloodiest conflict in Canadian history, taking the lives of more than 60,000 Canadians. This collection brings together a number of our resources on the First World War. Image above: Canadians soldiers advancing through German wire entanglements at Vimy Ridge. April, 1917.

The Fenians were a secret society of Irish patriots who had emigrated from Ireland to the United States. Some North American members of this movement were intent on taking Canada by force and exchanging it with Britain for Irish independence. From 1866 to 1871 the Fenians launched a series of small, armed incursions of Canada, each of which was put down by government forces — at the cost of dozens killed and wounded on both sides.
The final 100 days of the First World War — from 8 August to 11 November 1918 — came to be known as the Hundred Days Offensive. But the Canadian Corps' significant contributions along the Western Front generated the name "Canada's Hundred Days." During this time, Canadian and allied forces pushed the German Army from Amiens, France, west to Mons, Belgium, in a series of battles — a drive that ended in German surrender and the end of the war.
Henry Bathurst, politician, political figure during the reign of George III and British Secretary of State for War and the Colonies during the War of 1812 (b 22 May 1762; d 27 July 1834, London, Eng). Henry Bathurst was educated at Eton College and matriculated at Christ Church, Oxford.
The War of 1812 as it was fought on the high seas included a variety of activities related to sea power, including clashes between ships, naval blockades, coastal raids, joint operations with the army and a commerce war involving privateers and letters of marque.
When is a war not a war? For the Korean War, the answer is not always clear. This year, 2013, marks the 60th anniversary of the ceasefire of a war that not everyone describes that way. It had ambiguous beginnings, more than 20 participating countries, and still no formal end.

Effective treatments for brain atrophy include medication, nonmedication therapy, increasing brain activity, regular exercise and eating balanced diets rich in antioxidant fruits and vegetables, claims Healthgrades. The treatments aim to improve the symptoms and complications of the condition, as there is no cure for brain atrophy.Continue Reading
Medication options for dementia symptoms alter the volume of chemicals that regulate brain signalling or improve cognitive impairment. Taking anti-convulsive medicines treats seizures. Nonmedication therapy includes physical therapy to enhance function and performance of daily activity in patients with dementia symptoms and delay loss of muscle control. Cognitive therapy improves the quality of life, whereas speech therapy reduces the effect of aphasia, reports Healthgrades.
Treating the underlying cause of brain atrophy such as traumatic brain injury, stroke or Alzheimer's disease improves the symptoms. Patients should also lead a healthy lifestyle by increasing brain activity, engaging in regular exercise and taking a balanced diet full of antioxidant fruits and vegetables.

WOW that second screen gave my jaw has an issue now because it won't close up.. my god

An Object of Beauty by Steve Martin
Steve Martin has been a part of my cultural orbit for my entire life, whether it was Saturday Night Live re-runs, guest appearances, or his 1980s movies. While his acting started to leave me cold over time and Martin himself gave up stand-up, the idea of Martin the writer has risen to be one of his greatest strengths. Picasso at the Lapin Agile is a great play to read that I hope to see life someday. I was happy to find this at the library, waiting to be grabbed, and I'm glad I was the person who found it.
For those who don't know, one of Martin's interests is art, and he uses that interest to really infuse this book with knowledge and opinion about damned near all of the art world, giving it a basis in the real world that another writer could not manage if they set their world in the same aura of big-name art dealing. When the characters in this book discuss Warhol's place in the pantheon of artists or the way certain painters are either ignored or "discovered" over time, you can tell it's not just research for Martin. These are things he has either discussed or considered on his own.
Similarly, Lacey's rise to power, using her positive and negative traits to get to the point of owning her own gallery, are frequently marked with allusions to other kinds of stardom. I don't doubt that Martin, in his trek from Disney employee to the star of the Pink Panther remake (in some ways, a rise and fall all its own), encountered people, male and female, who were not above crossing the borders of legality to try and gain an edge.
And that's the thing that really makes this book so good. I'm an amateur art geek who is conversant from Egyptian art to the Pop era. I have so many holes in my knowledge that people use my art expertise as a golf course, but I love going to galleries and have over time developed a way to understand what makes one painting better than another from the same time frame. For me, the talk of Rembrandt, Matisse, and others both real and imagined meshed well with what I knew and really gave the story depth. But if I only knew a Van Gough when the signature was pointed out to me, I could still appreciate Lacey and her story.
After all, isn't it the most American thing to do, over the course of the 90s and 2000s, to do everything you could to rise to the top, even if it was a house of cards, ready to tumble? The dot com bubble, the housing bubble, the impending student loan bubble--they all result from the fact that we as American lust to be the richest thing around and will often do stupid things (like take out a second job to afford a more fashionable car we can't drive in because we have to work so much) just to look "better" than the rest of humanity. Just as Lacey's actions that generate the wealth she needs to move from auction house girl to world traveler eventually banish her to the backwaters of the art work, America's actions over the past half century are quickly placing us in company with Greece instead of China.
In the end, Russia may just bury us after all, just like those who Lacey tries to screw over end up burying her. Given that Martin sets this story to coincide with the boom and bust of America's overall economy, I think he's purposefully going for the comparison. Lacey and the art world are avatars for Martin to make social commentary, using a literary device that goes back at least as far as Homer.
To be a good book, however, requires more than just an ability to comment. While Martin probably will never be the best at narration, his dialogue is razor sharp, echoing without repeating his best acting work. There were many times where I could hear Martin mentally while the character spoke, giving the story a lot of life and energy. This was really needed because often the characters are unlikable (either rich bores or people on the make) and when Lacey says things like how she was sad there was no crime after failing at her "Lacey Drew" impression, the comedic timing is perfect.
My only real issue with the story is that I found the narrator to be an off choice. Martin picks an art critic who was briefly a lover of Lacey's and later her dupe to tell Lacey's story, blurring whether it is fact or fiction within the context. He's not a loser, but he's the kind of person who always ends up being an also-ran, and compared to Lacey, he's a dullard who can only reflect her light. I guess that's the point, but I feel like the book might have been better served by keeping the narrator out of the story entirely. You can tell Martin is trying to be post-modern, but I think it was one layer of clever too many in an otherwise really good book.
An Object of Beauty has a lot going on, just like the best paintings. It's both a case study, an admiration of audacity, and a warning to those who will do anything to win. Martin's got a great feel for intricate writing such as this, and I hope he continues to pour energy into books such as these and less facile films that play upon his reputation but don't play to his strengths.

It's no secret we are big fans of trend following and asset class rotation strategies at GestaltU. Unfortunately, many of these approaches have had their worst 1,2,3 and 5 year periods in the past 40 years recently.
We thought we would check in on a variety of long-only asset rotation strategies to see how they've fared since the current stock market rally began in November 2012. We ran tests using our standard 10 asset class portfolio from November 1st through Friday:
U.S. Total Stock Market Index (NYSEARCA:VTI)
Europe 350 Index (NYSEARCA:IEV)
MSCI Japan (NYSEARCA:EWJ)
MSCI Emerging Markets (NYSEARCA:EEM)
U.S. Real Estate (BATS:ICF)
Int'l Real Estate (NYSEARCA:RWX)
Gold (NYSEARCA:GLD)
Commodities (NYSE:DBC)
Intermediate Treasuries (NYSEARCA:IEF)
20+ Year Treasuries (NYSEARCA:TLT)
U.S. Total Stock Market Buy and Hold (Benchmark)
It's worth observing that the current run in U.S. stocks is in the 89th percentile of all periods of similar length through the period 1964 - present. As the chart below illustrates, on a 12-month smoothed basis, stocks are running at a 72nd percentile Sharpe. Clearly we are running up against peak annualized Sharpe ratios for this cycle, though it is certainly possible for markets to thrust higher over the next few months before beginning an intermediate term contraction phase.
U.S. Balanced (50/50 Stocks/Treasuries Benchmark)
Raw Geometric Return Momentum
Sharpe Ratio Momentum
Sortino Ratio
Omega Ratio
MAR Ratio
Hi-Low Differential Ratio
Fractal Efficiency
10 month Moving Average
All data sourced from Yahoo finance.
You can see that none of the global rotational or tactical strategies have come close to the performance of a simple Buy and Hold U.S. stock market portfolio since the start of the rally about 10 months ago, though the raw (not risk-adjusted) momentum strategy exceeded the performance of the balanced portfolio.
What does this mean for tactical strategies going forward? We have very strong evidence of the existence of trends and momentum in every asset market known to man: wine, art, homes, bonds, stocks, commodities, currencies, you name it. AQR recently posted a paper titled 'A Century of Evidence on Trend Following Investing' that showed 20% annualized performance for 50 asset markets since 1900.
So long as markets are dominated by humans and human decisions are driven by herding and informational cascades, momentum will exist in asset markets. No strategy works all the time in every market environment, but some strategies are timeless. I have every confidence that momentum and trend following will post a very strong comeback over the next five years.

I am not receiving compensation for it. I have no business relationship with any company whose stock is mentioned in this article.

In June 1941 the US Army's air organisations were consolidated under a single command, the Army Air Forces or AAF. Its expansion was rapid and massive, and its contribution to the war effort was substantial. Books abound describing the AAF's impressive combat record, but little has been published to record what the men inside the machines wore to stay alive and effective in the air and on the ground, or, as often as not, in the water. Gordon L. Rottman's detailed treatment discusses the flying clothes, accessories and equipment worn and used by individual airmen fighting their often desperate battles in the sky.The Royal Canadian Air Force model was more popular in Alaska than issue types; and in England, throughout 1943, the ... These were used during primary flying instruction and attached to a speaking tube connected to the instructor ... Standard service caps interfered with the use of headsets, so in 1938 the B-1 summer and B-2 winter flying caps were developed, being standardised on 2 1 April 1 939.

Department Mission
The mission of the Department of Health and Behavior Studies is to improve health, learning, and social well-being in schools and other settings and throughout the lifespan. This mission is achieved by

- Preparing practitioners, scholars, and leaders who can help people to realize their full potential, make informed decisions, and attain the best possible quality of life.
Thus, the department is committed to the professional preparation of those who will serve diverse at-risk or high-needs populations by conducting socially consequential and policy-relevant research and fostering interdisciplinary collaboration in practice to address problems in society that no single disciplinary approach can achieve.

Eylure Pro-Lash Extend Black
Eylure Pro-Lash Extend Black is a lash extension treatment that you can do in the comfort of your own home! These salon inspired lashes adhere to lashes to thicken and extend.
The kit includes long lasting adhesive and gentle remover.
Applying Eylure False Lashes:
1 – Squeeze a small amount of the Eylure glue onto the box of the lashes. Using tweezers, grip an individual lash and gently dp the tip of the lash into the adhesive. Allow the glue to become 'tacky' before applying.
2 – Place the single false lash directly on to your natural lash line where ever you wish for length and fullness. Keep applying the individual eyelashes until you achieve the lash look you require. The shorter lashes are more suitable for the inner corner of the eye while the longer lashes are best used on the outer corner of the eye for a winged eye effect or in the center of the lash for a fanned upwards effect.
3 – Add extra intensity to your lashes by applying your mascara on top of your lashes, blending your natural lashes and the false lashes together.
Gently rinse with warm water, using your fingertips to remove.

Special education teachers instruct students who have physical, mental, emotional or learning disabilities. The subject matter taught is similar to that of mainstream classes, but teaching methods are adapted to the needs of students.Continue Reading
Special education teachers follow a similar educational path as other teachers. Most public school jobs require a bachelor's degree and a certification or license issued by the state they are employed in. Private schools may not require a license. Degree programs can focus entirely on special education or can be in elementary education with a minor in special education.
The general duties of the job are very similar to those of other teachers. Special education teachers may spend more time assessing the abilities and skills of their students and devising lesson plans that are effective for them. An individual program is also often developed for each student. An emphasis may also be placed on developing life and social skills when students have severe disabilities.
Special education instruction is sometimes mixed with general education instruction in inclusive classrooms. In these settings, special education teachers will usually focus on special education students and work with a general education instructor. Special education instructors may also advise general education instructors in developing lessons plans for students with disabilities.Learn more about Career Aspirations

So how was your night last night?
Thursday night we decided to try to knock out some achievements. We had been banging our heads against Arthas for two weeks and we needed a break.
Flu Shot Shortage took a couple of tries to get it right. Luckily for me, my job really didn't change much. I just had to tank him same as I always do. We had a tougher time with Dances with Oozes. We made it just a straight DPS burn, nobody moved and Boston (Blood DK) would taunt a big one if it formed. We had a couple of close attempts and were on the verge of just killing him normally, when we finally got it. I tanked him as I always do and a late Ardent Defender proc kept me going for those last few precious percent. On both of these achievements I felt like our healers really did an amazing job.
Nausea, Heartburn, and Indigestion was probably the toughest of them all. But it's remarkable (ergo, I am remarking on it) how much our DPS has improved. We pushed Professor P into Phase II with only one experiment getting out. Our guys did a great job kiting, but I'm going to single out Jagdorc (SV/MM Hunter), who got picked to kick the Orange Slime twice. I don't know what it is, but Hunters seem to know how to kite. Ardent Defender gets another nod on this fight as it worked beautifully keeping me alive. There are times I would still love to have Last Stand, but I really like the flavor of Ardent Defender. It feels very Paladin.
I remember the first night we ever fought Rotface, Festergut and Professor P and thinking about how impossible these achievements sounded. It's amazing to me that we've gotten them. I'm proud of our team for getting these done.

Worcester, Mass. - The Holy Cross volleyball team posted its second win of the weekend at the Hart Recreation Center by defeating Patriot League rival Lafayette in four games (30-26, 27-30, 30-22, 30-24) Saturday evening.
The weekend sweep of league wins was the Crusaders' first in four years when they defeated the same two teams, Lafayette and Lehigh, during the 2000 campaign.
Senior setter Michelle Leahy (Andover, Mass.) posted 52 assists for a weekend tally of 108 sets. The senior also added a team-high 18 digs.
Senior Caitlin Agostinacchio (Bellmore, N.Y.), and freshman Christine Strawson (Torrington, Conn.), combined for 41 kills. Agostinacchio recorded a game-high 22 kills, while Strawson averaged 4.75 kills per game for a total of 19.
Sophomore Valerie Mora (San Antonio, Texas) accumulated 16 digs, while senior Lauren Liesman (Winchester, Calif.) registered 12 digs.
The Leopards were led by sophomore Veronica Canto-Ponce (La Jolla, Calif.), who tallied a double-double of 16 kills and 11 digs, freshman Michaela Donohue (Los Gatos, Calif.), who registered 22 digs, and a duo of setters, Katie Moore (St. Thomas, USVI) and Heidi Olichwier (Arlington Heights, Ill.), who combined for 38 assists. Moore recorded 18, while Olichwier set 20 kills.
With the win Holy Cross improves to 3-14 overall and 2-3 in the Patriot League, while Lafayette falls to 9-8 and 2-3 in the Patriot League.
The Crusaders return to the Hart Recreation Center next weekend, Friday-Saturday, Oct. 15-16, for a two-game homestand against Bucknell on Friday at 7 p.m. and Colgate on Saturday at 4 p.m.

The EU wants to help the Syrian opposition, but can't agree on what measures it should enact. While Britain and France want to send military trainers, Germany continues to call for a diplomatic solution to the crisis.
For nearly two years, a large part of the Syrian population has been fighting against the regime of Bashar al-Assad. But the president is still firmly in power. Only last week, he confirmed in an interview with the British "Sunday Times" that he was not prepared to resign, which remains one of the Syrian opposition's central demands. The armed conflict between rebels and government troops long ago reached a state of civil war. More than 70,000 people have been killed and millions are on the run. Despite numerous diplomatic initiatives from home and abroad, no end to the conflict is in sight.
Support for which rebels?
According to the German news magazine "Der Spiegel," Britain, and possibly France, now want to send military trainers to the rebels in Syria. To support Assad's opponents, the EU foreign ministers had decided back in February to alter their arms embargo against the country. Accordingly, "non-lethal" equipment may be supplied and "technical support" provided. Evidently this also encompasses the training of armed fighters. "Der Spiegel" reported that the German government for the moment is refusing to participate in a training mission.
Elmar Brok, the chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the European Parliament, agreed with Berlin's reluctance. "We do not know who is running what in the opposition," he said. "We do not want to allow Islamists to come to power in Syria, funded by Saudi Arabia and Qatar."
Germany is not alone with this view in the European Union, and instead is pursuing a somewhat different strategy than that of Britain and France.
"So far, a consensus has prevailed in the European Union that an arms embargo is a good way keep the conflict in Syria from escalating," said Markus Kaim, security policy expert at the German Institute for International and Security Affairs in Berlin. "This consensus now no longer exists."
While some countries are continuing to strive for a political solution, others are gradually moving away from it and are considering arms shipments. "It is less a question of whether we foment conflict, rather the question of how we can end it as quickly as possible - even with a military intervention," Kaim said.
Foreign policy continuation
In contrast to the UK and France, the German government is not giving any signal that it judges the situation in Syria any differently than before. "The prevailing view is that a political solution is possible, which would ultimately render a military solution obsolete," Kaim said.
Germany position on Syria is a continuation of its foreign policy culture of restraint, which also played a role in Berlin's abstention in the Libya mission. In March 2011, when the United Nations Security Council adopted Resolution 1973 to support the Libyan rebels against Moammar Gadhafi's regime, Germany abstained - while France, Britain and the United States voted for the resolution, and thus brought about the establishment of a no-fly zone.
"The reference to a culture of restraint reflects the foreign policy identity of the former West Germany before 1990," Kaim said. "But the circumstances have changed: today we no longer have to deal with conflicts such as the Cold War, but generally with very different internal conflicts."
Kaim added that Germany - especially in view of its non-permanent seat on the UN Security Council - always emphasizes its desire to take responsibility but then holds back on major decisions and does not fulfill the expectations it had raised.
On the other hand, Brok said he saw "nothing wrong" with the German policy of restraint - and stressed that Germany must play its part in supporting the moderate forces in Syria. He does not support military trainers, but continued diplomacy, "We must convince Saudi Arabia and Qatar to stop promoting the Islamist forces, and convince Russia to take a harder line against Syria."
The fronts in the Syrian conflict are increasingly hardening along religious lines. But the prospects for the Christian, Druze and Alawite minorities are all very different. (24.02.2013)
The renewed EU arms embargo imposed on the warring factions in Syria is nothing if not controversial. Those opposed want to help the rebels and those in favor want to prevent an escalation of the conflict. (19.02.2013)

me: yeah, I've heard about it.
him: surprised?
me: curious, yes. surprised, not really :)
him: bet you saw that coming huh?
me: kinda. care to share?
him: share what?
me: share things about your marriage that make your smile seems bitter to me.
him: you see it huh? you always do.
me: unfortunately, yes. so?
him: well. I'm TWENTY ONE, icha. and my life's stopped.
me: oh please. if it has really stopped, you'd be like dead, by now.
him: you know what I meant. I had to leave college and become a father.
me: you chose this way. you regret it now?
him: yeah. I want to have a real life. twenty one is an age where boys hang out, make out, have girl friends, go to college, and enjoy their lives. not settle down in a house with a wife and a child.
me: you love her? your wife, I mean.
him: I do now.
me: what was that suppose to mean? you do NOW? you didn't? wait. you got her pregnant while you didn't love her?! what the heck?!
him: I know. but I do love her now. I really do. she followed me all the way to jogjakarta. she couldn't even manage to graduate on her high school.

aku selalu percaya life with free sex does exist, tapi aku ga pernah nyangka aja, ada one of my closest circle of life yg juga menjalani hidup seperti itu. that was my conversation with my ex. waktu pertama denger kalo dia uda nikah dan bahkan anaknya uda lahir, I was like: WTF?! but then again, who am I to judge? kita punya hidup masing2 dan kita yang harus bertanggung jawab. aku juga bukannya ga pernah bikin dosa.
I'm not gonna curse anyone that do sex before marriage. whatever. itu idup kamu. lakukan apa yang mau kamu lakukan, but DO NOT DO SOMETHING YOU KNOW YOU'LL REGRET. kedengerannya simple dan banyak orang bakal "ya iyalah cha. masa kita bakalan ngelakuin sesuatu yg obviously wrong?" tapi yaa boookk. kalo nafsu uda di ubun2, you'll never know what could happen.
jadi saranku:
1. if you haven't done it up to today, AVOID FREE SEX as much as you could. apalagi buat cewek ya. pasti uda sering banget denger, tapi banyak yang belum bener2 ngerti. it doesn't give you any good. okay, mungkin pas 'on the go' sih enak ya, tapi entar2nyaa.. ugh. nothing. trust me.
2. if you did that already, DO NOT REGRET IT. bertobatlah (kalo bisa). jangan terus2an tenggelam di masa lalu. move on with your life. fix what was broken. papaku selalu bilang, hanya ada dua hal yang bisa kamu lakukan terhadap sebuah peristiwa buruk: menyesalinya, atau berdamai dengannya. jadi kalo kamu memutuskan berdamai dengan peristiwa itu, then just do it. let it go! jangan pernah menyesalinya lagi. tapi berdamai dengan free sex bukan berarti kamu bakal lanjut ngelakuin itu ya. NO EFFING WAY!
3. if you really, reaaaaally have to do it, well, DON'T. haha. seriously. I'm not that religious kind of person. tapi aku yakin ya, tidak ada agama yang menginginkan hal buruk terjadi pada umatnya. dan kalo free sex means bad things will happen to your life, like what happened to my ex's life, believe me, tidak ada agama yang mengizinkan. forbidden. super forbidden.
jadi, gimana para lelaki berumur 21? atau cewek2 yang punya temen dan sodara lelaki berumur 21? got the idea?
ah bukan cuma buat mereka, tapi buat semua orang.. got the BIG PICTURE, huh? hehe :D

The development of geography also forms an interesting chapter in the history of the University ofTartu and in that of Estonian science in general. On the one hand, geography is a natural science in the broader sense ofthe word, on the other hand it is a study of human activity. This status of geography makes it particularly sensitive to the cultural and political circumstances under which scholarship and science have developed in Estonia. The article by Professor of Human Geography Ott Kurs (born 1939) and historian of science (PhD in geography) Erki Tamrniksaar (born 1969) qIn Political Draughts Between Science and the Humanities: Geography at the University ofTartu Between the th th 17 -20 Centuriesq is devoted to this topic. Among other things, the article states that regular instruction in geography started at the University of Tartu in 1826, when the second chair of geography in Europe was established here. Although the present book does not contain any studies on philosophy at th Tartu University in the 19 century, I would still like to mention two names. th In the early 19 century, I. Kant's philosophy was dominant at Tartu Uni versity. One of Kant's pupils, Gottlob Benjamin Jasche (1762-1839), who had worked under him as a Privatdozent in Konigsberg, served as a professor here from 1802-1839. In the history of philosophy he is primarily known as the publisher of Kant's Logic.In this essay, I sketch one particular kind of answer to this question and look at some of the obstacles that this answer has to avoid, if it is to be successful. 1. PERSONAL AND SUBPERSONAL LEVELS On the one hand, there is a domain of concepts that we use to describe our ...

Lemony Swiss Chard with Fried Capers and Garlic
If you like it, save it!
Save and organize all of the stuff you love in one place.Got it!
If you like something…
Click the heart, it's called favoriting. Favorite the stuff you like.Got it!
Author Notes: This has got to be my new favorite Swiss chard recipe. I belong to a farm CSA and have been having a lot of fun working with whatever shows up. I've been getting a lot of greens lately, and needed to develop some variety in my recipes. I love the flavors of fried capers and garlic and started from there when developing this very easy recipe. I think I've had it now four nights in a row! —TheWimpyVegetarian
Serves: 2-4 (depending on how much you want)
bunches of green swiss chard
tablespoons olive oil, divided
tablespoons capers, drained
garlic cloves, peeled and minced
tablespoons Italian parsley leaves
tablespoons unsalted butter
juice from 1 lemon
teaspoon dried red pepper flakes
salt and pepper to taste
- Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil. Tear the swiss chard into large pieces, separating the central stalk from the leaves. Cut the stalks into 2" long pieces. Put the chard stalks into the boiling water first and cook for 10 minutes. Add the leaves and cook for another 10 minutes, or until the leaves and stalks are tender. Drain and set aside.
- Heat up 2 tablespoons of the olive oli in a saute pan that is large enough to accomodate the swiss chard. When the oil is hot, add the capers and cook for about 1 minute. Add the garlic and cook another minute. Add the parsley and cook another 1-2 minutes.
- Add the swiss chard and toss to cover the chard with the caper garlic mixture. Add the last tablespoon of olive oil and the butter. Add the lemon juice and thoroughly toss to mix in. Sprinkle with the crushed red pepper flakes and season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Serve as a side dish or do as I did last night and lay a piece of fish on top and enjoy!
