The Causes and Effects of International Investment Agreements and Investment Treaty Arbitration
PhD candidate Tarald Laudal Berge investigates dynamics in the international investment treaty regime.
Tarald's PhD project investigates the dynamics of investment treaty negotiation and investment treaty arbitration. He is particularly interested in the role that expertise and deliberation plays in both state-state negotiations and in states' ability to defend themselves before international arbitration tribunals. His project aims to investigate a number of specific research questions:
- What is the relationship between investment treaty drafting and the risk of facing treaty-based claims for arbitration?
- What is the relationship between negotiation expertise and preference attainment in investment treaty negotiations?
- What constitutes power in interstate negotiations over economic treaties in general, and what role does deliberation play in particular?
- What explains outcomes in investment treaty arbitration?
- What influence does 'expert' bodies on international economic policy such as the World Bank have one the formation of domestic investment policy and law?
Tarald uses both quantitative and qualitative research methods. As such, part of his project is to participate in two large data gathering projects. The first is a database that aims to map the legal and procedural content of investment treaties, in cooperation with a group of researchers at the World Trade Institute in Bern, The Graduate Institute in Geneva, and the German Development Institute in Bonn. The second is the PluriCourts Investment Treaty Arbitration Database, mapping a wide range of factors pertaining to treaty-based cases for investment arbitration. The other is to interview investment treaty negotiators on a wide range of issues pertaining to negotiating power, deliberation and state strategies for attaining their preferences in negotiations.

Stock Market: "Now, Let Me Get This Straight…"
Document Type
Publication Date
U.S. stock markets fell around 1 ½ percent on Friday following a much better than expected jobs report. Employers added 295,000 jobs when only 235,000 new jobs were expected. Try explaining that to an undergraduate business student who has been told that the stock market is a reflection of the strengths or weaknesses of the underlying businesses comprising the index. Or, try explaining that to a client who just saw his portfolio decline in value.

I have two major problems in life. I'm always tired and I never have enough time. I reckon if I lived until I was 150, with 30 hour days and no sleep, I might get to do half the things I want to do. Well, I'm not going to achieve that, but an extra hour a day would be very useful indeed. A couple of years ago, I purchased a license for Pzizz (plus the additional "Energizer" module), a "mac and windows software application that generates random soundtracks which help you regain your energy".
I must admit that, at that time, I only used it very occasionally, mostly when I was so tired I probably wasn't getting the greatest benefit from it. However, I reached a point about a month ago where it was getting ridiculous. I'd arrive home (I spend at least 2 and a half hours a day just commuting) and, after having some dinner, would often just fall asleep. I had no energy for any kind of life after work. I was missing out on being with my family, catching up on stuff, experimenting with my ideas, pretty much everything. So, I was starting to think what I could do to try and change things when I remembered my long ago purchased Pzizz software. I downloaded the latest version from the web site (a license provides you with lifetime updates - not bad) and decided I'd try it out properly.
Pzizz allows you to create your own soundtracks, which comprise of semi-randomly generated soothing music, along with a voice-over (optional) providing you with pleasing thoughts and motivation, which you listen to whilst having your "power nap". The idea being that it sends you into a nice refreshing nap, leaving you ready to take on the rest of the day with a fresh head.
This is a list of features taken from the Pzizz web site:
- voice: using the latest language techniques (NLP)
- music: composed exclusively for Pzizz
- binaural beat: inducing theta brainwaves
- adjust the length of the soundtrack as you need it
- every soundtrack is different
- custom settings allowing Pzizz to adapt to your needs
Yes, I know. I was cynical too, but read on. The software allows you to create an unlimited number of recordings of a duration you decide on (I chose 20 minutes), which you can then dump onto your MP3 player, making them available any time. So, I created 20 tracks to keep me going over the course of my experiment. I decided I'd try it for a month, ensuring that I had a 20 minute power nap at least 5 times a week. Having now come to the end of the first month, I can reveal that the results are astounding. The reason I began the experiment originally was to try and overcome the constant tiredness I felt almost every day. What I didn't expect (well, I didn't really expect anything, to be honest) was exactly how much energy I'd gain.
To tie back in with the title of this post, I'm actually gaining on average a complete hour per day. For every power nap of 20 minutes I take, I'm able to stay up on average about an hour and a half later than I could previously manage (i.e. I "gain" around an hour and a half for the 20 minutes I "lose" during the nap) and, more importantly, for the entire day I've found that, as well as feeling far less tired generally, I'm more alert and attentive and less grumpy (although that may be open to dispute!). Now, an hour a day might not seem a lot, but that amounts to 20 hours per month, or 240 hours (10 days!) per year. Now, that's worth having.
Honestly, I can't recommend Pzizz enough. I know I'm beginning to sound like a commercial and I don't normally go to these lengths to recommend anything, but I really believe it's made an enormous difference for me. I'll certainly continue using it. I've yet to try out the default sleep module provided with the software because, if there's one thing I don't have a problem with, it's getting to sleep! If you're after an energy boost, why not give it a try? They offer a free 15 minute "taster" with absolutely no obligation. Even if you decide to go ahead and purchase it and then change your mind, they've got a 30 day money back guarantee. If you do decide to go ahead and purchase it, you can also help me out by using this link. Just to ensure full disclosure, I'll get a cut if you use this link, but I did pay for my copy with my very own hard earned wedge. If you'd rather go direct, here's the link. I'd rather you gave it a go without my cut than not try it at all. One final note: please read the safety warning on the site before giving it a try.

The makers of prescription painkillers have adopted a 50-state strategy that includes hundreds of lobbyists and millions of dollars in campaign contributions to help kill or weaken measures aimed at stemming the tide of prescription opioids, which are at the heart of a crisis that has cost 165,000 American lives and pushed many more to crippling addiction, the Associated Press and the Center for Public Integrity report.. The drug makers vow they're combatting the addiction epidemic, but they employ a statehouse playbook of delay and defend that includes funding advocacy groups that fight limits on drugs such as OxyContin, Vicodin, and fentanyl. Between 2006 and 2015, drug makers spent more than $880 million nationwide on lobbying and campaign contributions, more than 200 times what those advocating for stricter policies spent. It's more than eight times what the formidable gun lobby recorded for advancing its agenda.
Collectively, the drugmakers and allied advocacy groups employed an annual average of 1,350 lobbyists in legislative hubs from 2006 through 2015, when opioids' addictive nature came under increasing scrutiny. "The opioid lobby has been doing everything it can to preserve the status quo of aggressive prescribing," said Dr. Andrew Kolodny, founder of Physicians for Responsible Opioid Prescribing and an outspoken advocate for opioid reform. "They are reaping enormous profits from aggressive prescribing." The industry and its allies have not been alone in fighting restrictions on opioids. Powerful doctors' groups in several states argue that lawmakers should not tell them how to practice medicine.

It was 34 degrees out, I was 22 years old, and I was sitting in the snow.
Well, okay. I'm exaggerating. I wasn't exactly sitting IN the snow – I was technically crouched on the edge of a set of wooden steps, outside a never-used guard shack – only my feet were actually in the snow.
There really wasn't any reason for me to be crouching in near-freezing temperatures, on rotted wood, in the snow.
It's just… I had finished feeding the horses, and it was at least 200 feet back to my cabin. The record snowfall made trudging something you had to pay attention to – with two feet of snow, you couldn't just meander without looking. it was too easy to fall into troughs, or holes, or other items that hid beneath the pristine, innocent-looking mounds of snow.
So in order to get back to my cabin, I would have to put aside the book I was reading and actually walk there.
That would take at least three minutes.
Did I mention it was my first time reading through the Da Vinci Code. Whether you approve of the plot or not, Dan Brown knows how to write a good suspense tale, and I was at an incredibly crucial moment.
Having to wait three minutes while waiting to figure out a crucial plot element in a book is an ETERNITY.
So…. instead of walking back to my cabin and reading the remainder of the book while sprawled on my couch in luxurious warmth, I was crouched on the rotted steps with my feet in the snow and my nose turning numb.
Keep in mind this was back in 2003/2004 – Amazon wasn't really a "thing" like it is now, and when you live hours from the nearest bookstore, the first time through any book will grip you like that, much less a bestseller like the Da Vinci Code.
I was just reaching the critical part of the scene when….
Norman happened.
Norman was a sweet, bottle-fed goat who followed people around wherever they went. I do mean everywhere – somewhere along the lines Norman had decided he was a human, and that the company of horses was no match for hanging out with people. It was cute at first, but eventually became a little annoying. "Wranglers, the goat is out again" was a familiar cry coming over the ranch radio – that goat could slip out of everything.
Still – he had silky white fur and large, intelligent, amber eyes so it was easy to forgive him anything.
Until that day. That day, Norman crossed a line.
The bad news is that…. well, if you're ever over at my house and if you ever want to read that particular book…. well, I just hope you already know the big reveal, because the book now opens permanently to that page.

On watching Captain Anthony whip Aunt Hester: "I remember the first time I ever witnessed this horrible exhibition. I was quite a child, but I well remember it. I never shall forget it whilst I remember any thing. It was the first of a long series of such outrages, of which I was doomed to be a witness and a participant. It struck me with awful force. It was the blood- stained gate, the entrance to the hell of slavery, through which I was about to pass. It was a most terrible spectacle. I wish I could commit to paper the feelings with which I beheld it."

I have lots of friends in the martial arts, and when I have expressed my interest to learn lots more about weapons, they have repeatedly asked me, "What happens when you're not armed?"
Let's set aside the whole "weapon is the extension of the hand" thing, where when you study weapons, you are studying the empty hand. Yes, of course that is true, but that's not my point.
I'm always armed.
I don't mean I carry a knife (I do - just a very small folder in my purse) or gun or anything like that ready for conflict at all times. It's not practical in my life to do that.
I'm always armed, because there are almost always weapons around me.
Take, for example, a typical office.
|Not pictured: Empty Soda Can Graveyard.
Looking at this picture, you don't see too much there to defend yourself, do you? Well, look again:
|Pictured: Arsenal.
Off the top of my head, the red circled objects are items I could pick up and use in a pinch to defend myself.
The glasses in particular draw my attention - recently in my neck of the woods, we had fugitive who escaped custody using broken glasses.
Grapevine police said Morales was able to take off his eye glasses, break off the frame, and use the sharp, broken end as a blade to attack the lone officer guarding him, 54-year-old Jaime Pardinas, stabbing Pardinas once in the chest and three times in the back before fleeing. Miami Prisoner Stabs Police Officer
So, yes, in that room above, I've got lots of options.
Take a moment, wherever you are reading this post right now, and look around you. What weapons are handy?
A pen? A coffee cup? A laptop bag or briefcase? A t-shirt or small throw blanket? A beer or soda bottle?
All of these, in a pinch, can be used, if you study and practice using them.
And that's why I want to keep studying weapons!

art is considered a symbol of heaven and usually coincides
with a unique message of virtue, excluding the fallen
angel of course. Angel statues are ideal for creating
authentic religious
displays, garden statue decorations, historical and
educational displays, and for appreciation in people's
home or office.
Religious angel art often has the angel wearing armor
(symbolizing truth) and is the bearer of a sword (symbolizing
justice). When you feel the solid weight of classical
statue masterpiece in your hands, you will connect
with the mythologies of one of history's greatest
extinct civilizations.
Some of the original angel art sculpture pieces we
offer are St. Michael, the Archangel by Guido Reni
(1575-1642 AD), Love and Psyche by Antonio Canova,
most commonly known as the "Winged Lovers"
and is currently on exhibit at the Louvre Museum. We also have Nike, often called the Winged Victory
of Samothrace, originally made in the late 3rd to
early 2nd Century BC.

John Belushi actually met Stax legend Steve Cropper early into putting together the Blues Brothers band. But he assumed Cropper was someone else.
Bobby Hart rose to fame with Tommy Boyce as part of the songwriting team behind the Monkees. But there was more to the story.
The Monkees TV show was designed toward improvisation. But not every guest star meshed with the Monkees' gonzo approach.
Remembering when Doctor Who unveiled his Time and Space Visualizer, only to find the Beatles performing on a now-lost episode of 'Top of the Pops.'
Yes, the Birthday Boy from the Monkees hit 'Randy Scouse Git' was real. And his friendship almost sent Micky Dolenz on a far different path.
Dennis DeYoung says, after years of failed attempts by others, 'Glee' nailed it with their rousing recent rendition of Styx's "Come Sail Away."
Micky Dolenz shares insights into the impact of the Beatles on the Monkees' last television episode, which aired on March 25, 1968.
Few can imagine Micky Dolenz as anything other than one of the Monkees. But it very nearly turned into his second-most famous role.

Conservatory Roller Blinds
Conservatory roller blinds can create a contemporary style whilst offering high performance shading for windows.
Conservatory Roller Blinds, available with high performance solar reflective fabric and optional cassette to conceal the rollers.
Roller blinds are best suited to be used in the windows of very large timber conservatories with a contemporary style.
The rollers are a heavy duty construction with custom manufactured springs that maintain a taut fabric. Obviously all fabrics inevitably have a small degree of irreversible elongation, but the specialist solar reflective fabrics that we offer are tried and tested to be extremely robust.
Roller window blinds are available with a side chain (with child-safety break link) or as a single looped cord that can be hung on a cleat. All roller blinds are also available with battery-powered motorisation at extra cost. There is even a battery powered option.
We don't recommend roller blinds for conservatory roofs as they are not suited to the complex shapes found in a lot of conservatories, and will tend to sag a lot when fitted in a roof as the blinds are working against gravity.
For more information on roller blinds, contact us for a free quotation.

Customer Reviews
Excellent quality, excellent service, excellent fitting.

It's the details that matter. Whether it's the way our blinds fit complex shapes or that we offer unique blinds for every pane.

"When 'Birdman' won both PGA and SAG, I thought maybe it can pull off a complete sweep," Jenelle Riley (Variety) says in our podcast chat, referring to its potential victory next at the DGA Awards this Saturday.
She makes a parallel to "The King's Speech," which put a stop to "The Social Network" juggernaut when it hit the guild awards four years ago.
"When we did this podcast back in early December the one big takeaway that everyone seemed to barrage me with was that I said I wasn't completely convinced that 'Boyhood' was this runaway train," she adds.

Press Release
For Immediate Release: June 10, 2009
TFAH Applauds "Affordable Health Choices Act" for Making Prevention a Cornerstone of Health Reform
Washington, D. C. June 10, 2009 - Trust for America's Health (TFAH) today applauded the U.S. Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) for including strong prevention and public health components in the Affordable Health Choices Act to improve the health of Americans.
"Our nation will never be able to contain health care costs until we do a better job of keeping Americans healthier and preventing disease," said Jeff Levi, PhD, Executive Director of TFAH. "The HELP Committee should be commended for making disease prevention and public health cornerstones of health reform -- which would help spare millions of Americans from needless suffering and save the health system billions of dollars in preventable costs. The Affordable Health Choices Act goes a long way toward transforming the country's current sick care system to a system that keeps people healthier in the first place."
"Prevention holds the promise of improving health and quality of life while lowering health care costs. This bill includes the ingredients needed to ensure we get the returns that prevention offers, including a focused national prevention strategy, a sustained public health funding stream, and evidence-based programs that will be held accountable for improving health outcomes," Levi continued.
Americans rank prevention as the most important health care reform priority, and more than three-quarters of Americans (76 percent) support increasing funding for prevention programs that provide people with information and resources and creating policies that help people make healthier choices, according to a new poll released this week conducted by Greenberg Quinlan Rosner Research and Public Opinion Strategies. Investing in prevention is popular across the political spectrum, with 86 percent of Democrats, 71 percent of Republicans, and 70 percent of Independents supporting investing more in prevention.
Research shows that strategic investments in disease prevention can result in significant savings in a short time -- reducing health care costs, increasing the productivity of the nation's workforce, and helping people lead healthier lives. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), a vast majority of chronic diseases could be prevented through lifestyle and environmental changes. And a recent study by TFAH, entitled "Prevention for a Healthier America," found that investing $10 per person per year in proven community-based programs to increase physical activity, improve nutrition, and prevent smoking and other tobacco use, could save the country more than $16 billion annually within five years.
Some key public health and prevention components of the Affordable Health Choices Act include:
- Development of a National Prevention and Health Promotion Strategy which would set specific goals and objectives for improving the health of the nation through federally-supported prevention, health promotion, and public health programs, and establish measurable actions and timelines for meeting prevention and health promotion goals;
- Establishment of a National Prevention, Health Promotion and Public Health Council to provide coordination and leadership with respect to prevention, wellness and health promotion practices, the public health system, and integrative health care in the United States;
- Establishment of an independent Community Prevention Services Task Force to review the scientific evidence related to the effectiveness, appropriateness, and cost-effectiveness of community preventive interventions to be published in the Guide to Community Preventive Services;
- Establishment of an independent Preventive Services Task Force to review scientific evidence related to the effectiveness, appropriateness, and cost-effectiveness of clinical preventive services; and
- Funding for research in the area of public health services and systems, including examining evidence-based practices relating to prevention, focusing in particular on the National Prevention Strategy or Healthy People 2020.
- Establishment of a Prevention and Public Health Investment Fund to expand and sustain a national investment in prevention and public health programs at a level of $10 billion per year, over and above current FY 2008 levels of funding for prevention, wellness and public health. Public health has been chronically underfunded for decades, and the core infrastructure of the system needs to be modernized.
- Establishment of Community Transformation Grants under a Creating Healthier Communities program, to support prevention outside the doctor's office for community-based disease prevention, such as programs to promote physical activity, create smoke-free environments, and make nutritious food more affordable and available. These initiatives make healthy choices easier choices for more Americans -- awarding competitive grants to state and local governmental agencies and community-based organizations for the implementation, evaluation, and dissemination of proven evidence-based community preventive health activities to reduce chronic disease rates, address health disparities, and develop a stronger evidence-base of effective prevention programs;
- Establishment of a Right Choices program to provide access to proven clinical preventive services, like immunizations and screenings, for the uninsured. In addition, the coverage section of the bill mandates no copayments for evidence-based preventive services endorsed by independent authorities;
- Establishment of a Healthy Aging, Living Well pilot project to provide public health community interventions, screenings, and necessary clinical referrals for individuals 55 and 64 years of age;
- Coordination of a workplace wellness marketing campaign to make employers aware of the benefits of employer-based wellness programs; and
- Establishment of an oral healthcare prevention and education campaign.

Enjoy a refreshing private canal boat tour after a long day of visiting museums and sights of Saint Petersburg! Your private guide will tell you fascinating stories about the Venice of the North, will show you hidden places and fascinating views that cannot be seen while walking around the city.
By day or by night, the most spectacular view of St. Petersburg can be seen from the water. The unforgettable panoramas of the Hermitage, squares and enbankments. A city was built over 42 islands, so St. Petersburg is surrounded by water and interlaced with a complex web of rivers and canals that seem to bind the city together, while also marking the borders of its different districts and neighborhoods. The slow ride by Nikolsky cathedral belltower, or throught the tunnels of the wide bridges, or under the glass walkway of Mariinsky theater, where the light is barely seen on the other side is an experience you'll never forget. St. Petersburg's architecture means that great vistas of the city are often visible from the water, and therefore an essential part of any exploration of the city is to get out in a boat and cruise the rivers and canals of St. Petersburg.
Detailed Program
Tour start time: 18:00, 18:30, 19:00, 19:30, 20:00, 20:30
|Meet your guide at the hotel.
Walk to the boat dock.
Optional: Private vehicle to take transfer you to the boat dock.

PET Bottle Blowing Machine is ideal for start-up and small-scale companies and is reliable, heavy duty, and capable of producing a wide variety of high quality P.E.T. bottles for many industries like water, alcohol, juice, liquid,detergent, vegetable oil, cosmetics, pharmaceutical and personal care items which are just a few examples
How PET Bottle Blowing Machine Works
|The Blow Molding system does not require highly trained operators to produce consistent quality bottles.
|The bottle making process starts by loading preforms into the preheater.
|The preheater uses a variable speed track that moves the preforms through a heating tunnel. The heat tunnel has specially designed heating elements for a consistent heating operation with minimal maintenance.Pet Bottle Blowing Machine Price,Plastic Molding Machine Price,Bottle Blowing Machine
|When the preforms have made one "trip" through the preheater, they are manually loaded two(three or four) at a time into the blow molder. .
|After the bottles are formed in the blowing cycle, they are removed and the cycle continues. The finished bottles are then loaded directly onto a conveyor for filling or can be stored for later use.

text: So after my copy of Super Smash Bros Melee stopped working (stupid Gamestop selling me scratched games) I burned a backup so I could play it through the GCN Backup Launcher. However, it wouldn't read my save. I used a bunch of different homebrew apps to copy saves I downloaded from my SD card to my GCN memory card. I got one to work, but the launcher still wouldn't read my saves. I wanted to test if it was just that the Gamecube Backup Launcher that couldn't read saves off of a memory card. So I put in my scratched copy of Melee, figuring it would work long enough to see if it would read the saves. I booted it from the disc channel, which then went straight to the GCN Backup Launcher, then the Wii just stopped working. It was still on (Green light), but my TV said no input signal. I uninstalled the MIOS Patch, but the problem still remains. Help?

Securities firms are opening their wallets to purchase new hardware, software and other technical infrastructure to handle skyrocketing amounts of market data, according to an Aite Group report highlighted during a panel presentation at last month's TradeTech conference in New York.
In fact, creating that infrastructure has become the top development priority for 2010, according to 17 chief information officers polled by Aite Group.
"We asked CIOs of electronic trading firms where they were spending their budgets and their focus in 2010, and, as you can see, market data leads the development roadmap for most folks," said Adam Honore, research director with Aite Group.
When asked by Aite which area they currently have the most development activity, 41% of the 17 CIOs surveyed responded market data; 24% cited order routing, 18% order placement.
"Initially, we found that people said they wanted to try to cut their market data budgets which turned into more terminal cost cuts, but from a platform perspective... you'll see that budgets have actually been going up," explained Honore.
Global spending on market data infrastructure will increase about 2 percent, by Aite's estimate, to more than $7.8 billion, in Aite's estimate.
That 2 percent annual increase has been consistent even through the economic downturn during which some firms sent technology projects to the cutting board, Honore said.
Market data infrastructure spending, though, was not a part of the cuts.
"We estimate that firms are going to spend not quite $8 billion dollars on their infrastructures globally, which is pretty expensive and includes all of your messaging middleware, your feed handlers, your performance databases, [complex event processing] engines," said Honore.
The industry should anticipate data doubling this year. This is "not necessarily because of equity volume spikes, but because of a series of ancillary events around regulatory changes, fragmentation, things going on like (the Tokyo Stock Exchange)'s Arrowhead project, new interest in moving into places like (foreign exchange)," he said.
"These infrastructures need to be built for agility and we see a lot of customers with some in-points there," said Honore.
Joe Lutkevich, senior managing director of State Street Global Advisors, who concentrates on decision support risk systems and enterprise data including market data, firm, said, athis firm, "data is 'central' to everything we do."
"Where we see growth, at least from the quantitative side, is in the use of what we call the 'as-at' data versus 'as-of' time, so point-in-time has become very, very important for us to be able to truly evaluate our signals," explained Lutkevich.
Today, there aren't many companies delivering that, however, there are solutions such as Thomson Reuters' Worldscope Fundamentals data service and research tools from Capital IQ which can help produce more integrated data sets, Lutkevich said.
"The key here is how do you cap expense but also take advantage of all of the new types of data you need?" said Lutkevich.
When asked if he sees areas where firms are in fact able to cut or control costs, Honore said it depends on the institution and what it is trying to achieve. If it is trying to beat the speed of light, for instance, firms may have to invest in co-location facilities or purchase hardware acceleration tools.
While getting faster hardware can be perceived as very expensive, it can be a cost saver, from a power and rack space perspective, if a firm is moves into a co-location facility, noted Honore.
For instance,"we've seen a lot of people build a lot of technology they would have been just fine off the shelf with, for example, messaging middleware," said Honore. He said he has seen a lot of smaller firms build messaging middleware and feed handlers they didn't have to that are readily available from third parties.
"There is no one out there that builds the perfect market data infrastructure," said Lutkevich. "The way we approach it at State Street is to not force our vendors to become what we want. We negotiate with our vendors. We look at them and tell them, 'this is our expectation, this is what you say you deliver and we test them on that.' We don't try to transform their product. We bring it in as they say it should be and then we do our internal transformations to make it as we want it. But we don't hold our vendors to something they can't deliver."
The findings were discussed on a panel titled "Processing Market Data More Efficiently-Doing More With Less." The discussion was moderated by Jon Fatica, managing director of post-trade analytics at Investment Technology Group (ITG).

My Story:
My inspiration came when I was 8 years old, watching an anime called Akira. Set in post-apocalyptic Tokyo, the movie showcases futuristic technologies, including holograms and Augmented Reality. From then on, I was hooked. I would imagine a world where everything around me was overlayed with digital content.
I started my career in the music industry where I co-founded Monumental Records with Miriam Moufide and Bassil Silim Jones. Founded in 2005, Monumental Records, a division of Universal Music Group, produces Pop, Hiphop, Dancehall and Reggae music for acts such as Empire I. Monumental records has released 6 albums for Empire I and produced over 100 TV placements for global Ad campaigns (Pantene, Cover Girl, MTV, HBO, NBC, ABC) and a TV show with Musique Plus in Canada. In addition, we put together events with OUTKAST, DJ Lantern, The Roots, Collie Buddz and others. The label also produced several innovative marketing initiatives such as world's first Augmented Reality app for an artist.
Since then, I have dedicated myself to AR&VR. My companies create immersive experiences through engineered art. By mixing technology and creativity to break the boundaries between the physical and the digital worlds.
A concept I call //SURGE FORWARD//
//Never Stop Creating//

...in spite of the deep-seated craving for love, almost everything else is considered to be more important than love: success, prestige, money, power-almost all our energy is used for the learning of how to achieve these aims, and almost none to learn the art of loving. Could it be that only those things are considered worthy of being learned with which one can earn money or prestige, and that love, which "only" profits the soul, but is profitless in the modern sense, is a luxury we have no right to spend energy on?

Cannot Speak Highly Enough
I cannot speak highly enough of the experience I had. I've been telling everybody I've spoken to since how impressed I was! What a difference it makes to have somebody take the time to fully understand your history, explain your condition in words you understand and then advise on the best treatment. The added value for me was that this covered a whole range of ways to help myself rather than solely focusing on what would specifically be done during the appointment.

~Richard S.

Vicky has 'miracle hands'
Before coming to the clinic, I had been to see my own GP who referred me to a specialist at Hull. I had an MRI scan and then was referred back to a neurologist. No one actually told me what the problem was!
On meeting Vicky Cole for the first time, I found her to be a pleasant, happy and knowledgable young lady. She very kindly explained what she would be doing and how she could help me.
I've been coming now for quite a few months and cannot tell you the difference it has made to my life. I think Vicky has 'miracle hands'. She has worked wonders on me and I will be eternally grateful to her.
~ Helen Capp

I recently read that fake Christmas trees now outsell real trees. That is such a bummer because one of our family's favorite Christmas time traditions is trekking through the snow-covered mountains to cut our own real tree (no we don't buy ours either). In my opinion, no scented candle holds a candle to the smell of a real pine tree in your living room. Speaking of candles, however, don't get the candle too close as you approach the new year. A dry Christmas tree can be set ablaze by many things making it a fire hazard, not to mention a pain to drag out of the house. My mother-in-law has the perfect "solution" that keeps your real Christmas tree fresh. This has kept our tree green long into the new year and has even produced new growth on our Christmas tree! Especially if you cut your own tree but even if you buy it at a lot, try this recipe for your tree. I think your tree will think it is very tasty!
Christmas Tree Solution
1. Cut bottom 1″ off of tree stump
2. Mix solution of:
1Gal warm water
2C Karo Syrup
4t Bleach
3. Add water to tree stand and monitor closely for the next several days. The tree will use larger amounts of water at first. Do not let the tree run out of water. This will cause the stump to reseal and it will need to be recut (this is complicated since you probably already have the ornaments on at this time).
4. Enjoy the beautiful sights and scents of the season!

LONDON, ENGLAND--(Marketwired - July 4, 2014) - The wealth management industry is acclimatising to a much-changed marketplace and assuming a more sustainable shape. Spearheaded by some of the sector's more innovative names, wealth management is an industry transformed, and one worthy of recognition in this year's World Finance Wealth Management Awards 2014.
Firms are becoming more selective about who they bring on board, assets under management are on the up, and technology is playing an increasingly important part in meeting client expectations and in negotiating regulatory pressures. These are just a few of the challenges facing wealth management firms, and only a handful of the qualities shared amongst the winners of World Finance's Wealth Management Awards.
Taking into account performance and achievements over the past 12 months, World Finance has selected the firms that have dealt with the difficult task of streamlining the traditional operating model, whilst at the same time improving client engagement and personal service. "Greater transparency on fee and performance is resulting in a fairly fundamental shift in client expectations, and therefore their wealth managers," says Daniel Diemers, Partner at Strategy&'s Financial Services practice in Europe and the Middle East.
The Wealth Management industry has also been enlivened by a number of new, technologically savvy firms. "The new players are also better at putting clients in control of their portfolios and helping clients co-create their propositions rather than being offered the standard two or three propositions. These new players are often able to offer better price points due to a more nimble and technology enabled operating model," says Sid Azad, Financial Services expert at the Strategy&'s London office.
For a look at the winners of 2014's Wealth Management Awards, see the July-August issue of World Finance, available online and in print now.

One of the oldest golf clubs in the country, the Gulmarg Golf Club also has the distinction of being one of the (nullif not the), highest in the world. This is an 18 hole, par 72 course with a yardage of 6,985. The club was started in the early twentieth century by the numerous British officers who holidayed in Gulmarg. This was redesigned in the nineteen-seventies by the Australian golf champion, Peter Thomson. The Gulmarg course has one substantial advantage over others and this is the pleasant climate and the cool breeze that allow players to remain on the course for longer periods of time.
