Comments: 14 Pages. I discovered the graviton: the impulse of the graviton, the energy of the graviton, the speed of the graviton, the frequency of the graviton and the mass of the graviton. That is why my theory is a Quantum Gravity theory.
It is our ultimate task to discover a new quantum theory which breaks the wall of Planck scale and creates a new frontier.
I found another wall, the Ferent wall beyond the Planck wall.
I replaced Max Planck equation E = h × f with the Ferent equation for the energy of a photon:
E = h × f + a × f
I discovered the impulse of the graviton: p = a / λ
I replaced Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle Δp × Δx ≥ h / 4π with Ferent Uncertainty Principle:
Δp × Δx ≥ a
I discovered a new electromagnetic theory.
The graviton has negative impulse, negative mass and negative energy.
I am the first who understood and explained that the gravitons with the speed of light are too slow to keep the constellations and the galaxy together. I explained the gravitation with the speed of the gravitons bigger than the speed of light.
The mass of a body, of a system M = m1 + im2 where m1 is the real mass and m2 is the imaginary mass, it is the rest mass of the gravitons.
I calculated the volume of the universe at Planck wall and the volume of the universe at Ferent wall.
My quantum gravity theory shows that the gravitons are too small to be detected by today's technology.

Initial temperature, particle count are tied into entropy genration, and we make a reference to the Riemannian Penrose inequality, in terms of , if it is an equality what it says about admissible frequencies, as to the early universe. The author is fully aware of the Riemannian Penrose inequality's usual application, black hole physics. Its application to early universe cosmology is due to assuming a non zero, but extremely small initial scale factor at the start of inflation. The frequency, of Eq.(12) is proportional to [1/ distance] with the distance ~ Area to the 1/3rd power. Which is used as a bound to make sense of the range of frequencies assumed in this problem

We are more than ready to hear the plucked strings of space-time. Last Friday, the revamped LIGO took its first observations – a step towards picking up the ripples that Einstein predicted should come from exotic cosmic collisions. [5]
Scientists at the National Institute for Space Research in Brazil say an undiscovered type of matter could be found in neutron stars (illustration shown). Here matter is so dense that it could be 'squashed' into strange matter. This would create an entire 'strange star' - unlike anything we have seen. [4]
The changing acceleration of the electrons explains the created negative electric field of the magnetic induction, the electromagnetic inertia, the changing relativistic mass and the Gravitational Force, giving a Unified Theory of the physical forces. Taking into account the Planck Distribution Law of the electromagnetic oscillators also, we can explain the electron/proton mass rate and the Weak and Strong Interactions.

The space roar is the unsolved problem in cosmology and particle physics. Here, applying the Scale-Symmetric Theory, we showed that the ARCADE 2 and other literature the space roar for frequencies from 22 MHz to 10 GHz follows from the motion of the very early Universe in relation to the ground state of the luminal Einstein spacetime, follows also from the expansion of the Universe, and from the decays of the quadrupoles of charged pions and of the bottom quark-antiquark pairs into photons. Derived here the excess power-law spectrum in addition to a CMB temperature of 2.725 +- 0.001 K is consistent with observational data. Here as well we calculated the precise mass of the bottom quark: 4167.58 MeV. We showed also that production of the Higgs bosons during the period of time the CMB was produced cannot be neglected in a theory of the early Universe.

Theory of Everything is The Holy Grail in physics. Physicists and like all over the world have searched the theory for a very long time. Modern day technological advances are finally opening the vast universe in all scales for curious human beings to explore. What we have accomplished is two theoretical platforms, relativity theories and quantum mechanics which are usable in their own domains. Obviously we have done good but we are still missing the theory. Due to all unsuccessful searches for the theory some people have suggested that there
won't be such a theory.
Theory of Everything by Illusion 2.0 is based on the good ideas in previous Theory of Everything by Illusion. In an addition, few new ideas have emerged and at the same time few old, not so good, ideas have vanished as well.

The void space does not have any meaning as itself. The space exists only when a particle (a fermion or a boson) occupies it. This means, if new particles appear in a region of space, the quantity of space increases in that area, creating distortions in that area of space, distortions that we call gravitation. A type of bosons, the photons, transmit the electromagnetic field using their energy. But in parallel, they create new space by its existence itself. If a particle emits photons, apart from the electromagnetic field, creates space by the new space occupied/created by the photons emitted. This new space creates distortions that correspond to gravitation effects. We will see, that the space created by a photon (and any other elemental particle) is related to the Planck length constant. Following the model and using only geometric and electromagnetic calculations we will arrive to the factor Gm/c²r for distortions of space caused by a mass. We will see that this is exactly the factor predicted by the Schwarzschild equation of general relativity. Also, following the model and using only geometric and electromagnetic equations, we will arrive to the factor 1/sqrt{1-(v²/c²)} as the relation between a moving mass and a motionless mass. The same relation predicted by special relativity equations. Besides, the immediate question using this model of how it is possible that particles have different masses and charges will be answered.

The search for a consistent theory of quantum gravity has motivated the development of radically different approaches. This seeks consists of constructing a mathematical apparatus that encapsulates both concepts of quantum theory and general relativity. However, none approach has been definitive and the problem remains open. As the quantization of the metric is an alternative, this paper shows how a metric operator may be explicitly obtained by introducing a temporal operator, defining an induced metric and invoking some spacetime symmetries. This makes it possible to relate the effective acoustic metric to the model proposed here. The metric operator equations are expressed in terms of a hamiltonian operator describing the degrees of freedom of quantum vaccum whose dynamics gives rise to the metric field. These findings may help understand and study the quantum vacuum at Planck scale, consisting of one more tool for the community working on quantization of gravity.

The current paper presents a new idea that it might lead us to the Grand Unified
Theory. A concrete mathematical framework has been provided that could be appro-
priate for one to work with. Possible answers were given concerning the problems of
dark matter and dark energy as well as the \penetration" to vacuum dominant epoch,
combining Quantum Physics with Cosmology through the existence of Higg's boson. A
value for Higg's mass around 125,179345 Gev/c^2 and a value for vacuum density around
4,41348x10^-5Gev/cm^3 were derived . Via Cartan's theorem a proof regarding the number
of bosons existing in nature (28) has been presented. Additionally, the full Lagrangian of
our Cosmos (including Quantum Gravity) was accomplished.

After reviewing the basic ideas behind Born's Reciprocal Relativity theory, the geometry of the (co) tangent bundle of spacetime is studied via the introduction of nonlinear connections associated with certain $nonholonomic$ modifications of Riemann--Cartan gravity within the context of Finsler geometry. The curvature tensors in the (co) tangent bundle of spacetime are explicitly constructed leading to the analog of the Einstein vacuum field equations. The geometry of Hamilton Spaces associated with curved phase spaces follows. An explicit construction of a gauge theory of gravity in the $8D$ co-tangent bundle $ T^*M$ of spacetime is provided, and based on the gauge group $ SO (6, 2) \times_s R^8$ which acts on the tangent space to the cotangent bundle $ T_{ ( x, p) } T^*M $ at each point $ ({\bf x}, {\bf p})$. Several gravitational actions associated with the geometry of curved phase spaces are presented. We conclude with a discussion about the geometrization of matter, QFT in accelerated frames, {\bf T}-duality, double field theory, and generalized geometry.

Comments: 27 Pages. re setting of the document, as it may be accepted for publication via JHEPGC: Also will be part of conference proceedings Wess school, Summer 2015 , Bratislavia, Slovakia
This paper is, with the permission of Stepan Moskaliuk similar to what he will put in the conference proceedings of the summer teaching school and workshop for Ukrainian PhD physics students as given in Bratislava, as of summer 2015. With his permission, this paper will be in part reproduced here for this journal.First of all, we restate a proof of a highly localized special case of a metric tensor uncertainty principle first written up by Unruh. Unruh did not use the Roberson-Walker geometry which we do, and it so happens that the dominant metric tensor we will be examining, is variation in . The metric tensor variations given by , and are negligible, as compared to the variation . Afterwards, what is referred to by Barbour as emergent duration of time is from the Heisenberg Uncertainty principle(HUP) applied to in such a way as to give, in the Planckian space-time regime a nonzero minimum non zero lower ground to a massive graviton, . The lower bound to the massive graviton, is influenced by and kinetic energy which is in the Planckian emergent duration of time as . We find from version of the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle (HUP), that the quantum value of the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle (HUP) is likely not recoverable due to . I.e. is consistent with non-curved space, so no longer holds. This even if we take the stress energy tensor approximation where the fluid approximation is used. Our treatment of the inflaton is via Handley et al, where we consider the lower mass limits of the graviton as due to when the inflaton is many times larger than a Potential energy, with a kinetic energy (KE) proportional to , with initial degrees of freedom, and T initial temperature .Leading to non-zero initial entropy as stated in Appendix A. In addition we also examine a Ricci scalar value at the boundary between Pre Planckian to Planckian regime of space-time, setting the magnitude of k as approaching flat space conditions right after the Planck regime. Furthermore, we have an approximation as to initial entropy production. N ~ Finally, this entropy is N, and we get an initial version of the cosmological "constant" as Appendix D which is linked to initial value of a graviton mass. Appendix E, is for the Riemannian- Penrose inequality, which is either a nonzero NLED scale factor or quantum bounce as of LQG. Note that , Appendix F gives conditions so that a pre Planckian kinetic energy( inflaton) value greater than Potential energy occurs, which is foundational to the lower bound to Graviton mass. We will in the future add more structure to this calculation so as to confirm via a precise calculation that the lower bound to the graviton mass, is about 10^-70 grams. Our lower bound is a dimensional approximation so far. We will make it exact. We conclude in this document with Appendix G, which is comparing our Pre Planckian space-time metric Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle with the generalized uncertainty principle in quantum gravity. Our result is different from the one given by Ali, Khali and Vagenas in that our energy fluctuation, is not proportional to that of processes of energy connected to Black hole physics, and we also allow for the possibility of Pre Planckian time. Whereas their result, (and the generalized string theory Heisenberg Uncertainty principle) have a more limited regime of interpolation of final results. We do come up with equivalent bounds to recover and the deviation of fluctuations of energy, but with very specific bounds upon the parameters of Ali, Khali, and Vegenas, but this has to be more fully explored. Finally, we close with a comparison of what this new Metric tensor uncertainty principle presages as far as avoiding the Bicep 2 mistake, and the different theories of gravity, as reviewed in Appendix H

Our present concept about gravity is related with the mass and distance of the object. Still we are following the Newtonian concepts of gravity to measure the gravity of objects. Albert Einstein has made a great work on the concept of gravity, after Newton. But still we are trying to know more about gravity. According to me gravity is the property of energy. One must have to explain gravity on the basis of energy and it should be agree with the Newtonian theory of Gravity and law of conservation of Energy. I am agreeing that mass is also a form of energy. But I prefer to find gravity in accordance with the total energy of a system. I am going to find a relation to Newton's theory of Gravity and Einstein's Equivalency principle (E = mc2). Here I am making an attempt on this field. I am sure that I am on the right track. I am not placing any new equations here. I am using the existing equations in physics to find the gravity through my thoughts. The way which I am using these equations are may be strange. Sometimes I am thinking in reverse order, first I have found the gravity with the concept of energy. For that I am applying a constant ''A'' to relate Newtonian concepts to Einstein's Equation.

Mathematicians investigating one of science's great questions—how to unite the physics of the very big with that of the very small—have discovered that when the understanding of complex networks such as the brain or the Internet is applied to geometry the results match up with quantum behavior. [6]
Vectors are great for describing the motion of a particle. But now suppose you need to analyze something more complicated, where multiple magnitudes and directions are involved. Perhaps you're an engineer calculating stresses and strains in an elastic material. Or a neuroscientist tracing the changing forces on water flow near nerve cells. Or a physicist attempting to describe gravity in the cosmos. For all that, you need tensors. And they might even help you unify gravitational theory with quantum physics. [5]
The magnetic induction creates a negative electric field, causing an electromagnetic inertia responsible for the relativistic mass change; it is the mysterious Higgs Field giving mass to the particles. The Planck Distribution Law of the electromagnetic oscillators explains the electron/proton mass rate by the diffraction patterns. The accelerating charges explain not only the Maxwell Equations and the Special Relativity, but the Heisenberg Uncertainty Relation, the wave particle duality and the electron's spin also, building the bridge between the Classical and Relativistic Quantum Theories. The self maintained electric potential of the accelerating charges equivalent with the General Relativity space-time curvature, and since it is true on the quantum level also, gives the base of the Quantum Gravity.

Here, applying the Scale-Symmetric Theory (SST), we calculated the inelastic cross section versus the centre-of-mass energy for proton-proton collisions. For centre-of-mass energies lower than 34.2 TeV, the obtained theoretical results overlap with the Standard-Model predictions but for energies of proton higher than 17.1 TeV, contrary to the Standard-Model prediction, there appears the asymptote: cross-section = 82.5 mb = constant. It follows from the fact that due to the production of the 17.1 TeV Higgs-boson-like particles, the protons cannot be accelerated above energy 17.1 TeV. Just whole surplus proton energy is instantaneously emitted. It is associated with the internal structure of the core of baryons. Emphasize that calculated here the cross section for energy 13 TeV (73.1 mb) is the central value obtained in the ATLAS experiment.

High frequency quasi-periodic oscillations (HF QPOs) are characteristic for the X-ray power-density spectra of a few microquasars and low mass X-ray binaries. Sometimes there appear the twin peak QPOs and then the frequency ratio for the peaks is close or equal to 3/2. Mostly the QPOs models assume oscillations of toroidal structures near black holes or neutron stars. At present, there is no consensus on the origin of QPOs. Here we present the model of the twin-peak QPOs as a result of oscillations defined by torus and a ring inside it. We use the Scale-Symmetric Theory (SST), especially the revised theory of black holes and accretion discs. Within presented here model we calculated the masses of the twin peak QPO microquasars. Obtained theoretical results are consistent with observational data. But accuracy of the observational data is very low whereas of the theoretical results is very high so future more precise observational data can be used to verify presented here model. We showed some analogy between the phenomena inside the core of baryons and the phenomena leading to the twin peak QPOs i.e. we showed some analogy between particle physics and cosmology.

This is for the mesons made of, at least one, up or down quarks or their anti quarks. The structure of the equations are such that the masses are related to a type of probability.

The mass in Einstein's energy-mass equivalence equation has two possible interpretations, whether it is limited to the invariant mass, or it applies to all energy. This paper argues that all of the energy (kg m2 s−2) has a mass (kg: a degree of weight and inertial resistance). The inertial mass is a mass that was further scaled the gravitational mass to be increased with kinetic energy. The inertial mass of elementary particle in an atomic system also varies similarly by scaling. Thereby the scalable inertial masses of elementary particles constituting the atomic add the gravitation that cannot be ignored as compared with the Coulomb force. We call this effect "Inverse fourth power (1/r4) gravity" to distinguish it from universal gravitation of the universal gravitational constant. Using these mechanisms, we explain the proton radius puzzle and the statistical error found with the muon anomalous magnetic moment. This paper demonstrates a new way of integrating general relativity and quantum theory by separating the scalable inertial mass and the gravitational mass.

Plymouth Wedding Photography – Polhawn Fort – Sej and Mark
Sej and Mark had a beautiful indoor/outdoor wedding at Polhawn Fort. There was an intimate ceremony inside the venue at lunch time and then the preparations began for the larger outdoor one. The weather was just kind enough not to rain during the outdoor ceremony and it started just as they headed down the aisle….. phew! I loved working with these two, they are film makers so I could talk a little 'geeky' at times as we use some of the same gear.

The Pantagraph and Second Presbyterian Church, Bloomington, sponsored a three-day "Better Babies Conference," May 7-9, 1929. Seen here are participants gathered around the registration table at Second Presbyterian. Seated is Nellie Motherway, president of the Holy Trinity School Parent Teacher Association.
Seen here is the old Unitarian Church in downtown Bloomington. This building was torn down in late 1959. Today, the downtown PNC Bank occupies this site.
Seen here is the old Mennonite Church of Normal when it was located on South University Street. This photo is undated, but the fact that University Street is unpaved tells us it goes back a few years!
Since Father Ric Schneider arrived in Bloomington to become the pastor of St. Mary's Parish 23 years ago he has built St. Mary's into an institution that contributes to the well-being of the entire community, serving the needy regardless of faith.
Once Normal's oldest church building, First American Baptist was located at the northeast corner of School and Mulberry streets. It was built in 1870-1871, making it 130 years old when it was torn down on September 26, 2000.
The American Passion Play, staged in Bloomington since 1923, is the oldest such retelling of the story of Christ in the nation. Seen here are last-minute preparations during the 40th season, which opened on Sunday, March 24, 1963.
he American Passion Play, staged right here in Bloomington, is the nation's oldest such staging of the story of Christ. Seen here is five-year-old John Aldridge during a rehearsal. His parents Jack and Carol Aldridge were also Passion Play performers. And appearing in previous seasons were both his grandmother and great-grandfather.
This undated aerial shows a section of the east side of downtown Bloomington prior to the loss of much of the built environment to surface parking lots. Everything in the L-shaped blue box is gone, replaced by surface parking for State Farm Insurance and Second Presbyterian.
Designed by Bloomington architect Arthur L. Pillsbury, this Classical Revival-style First Church of Christ, Scientist featured a Greek temple entry and a copper dome, making it one of the most distinctive buildings in the Twin Cities. It was located at the southwest corner of Prairie and Monroe streets (Monroe no longer runs between East and Prairie streets). The church remained the home for local Christian Scientists until 1979.
Every spring Delmar D. Darrah's theatrical retelling of "the greatest story ever told" is brought back to life on the local stage. The American Passion Play tells the story of Christ and his crucifixion, resurrection, and ascension. The former Scottish Rite Consistory Temple has served as the play's home for all but one season. Seen here are actors (left to right) Stanley K. Norton, Gus Winker, and Walter Berg at a late March 1954 rehearsal.

PSGA Senate Passes Resolution Condemning Continuation of "Rational Tuition" Program
The Purchase Student Government Association, on behalf of the students at Purchase College, has passed a resolution condemning the extension or continuation of the "rational tuition" program.
The PSGA supports a freeze in tuition for SUNY and CUNY schools and calls upon the SUNY Student Assembly, President Schwarz, and the College Cabinet to rescind any prior support for "rational tuition" and to advocate on behalf of Purchase to ensure the freeze of college tuition and other related fees.
SUNY and CUNY were founded on the principal of providing affordable and accessible quality education to New Yorkers. Over the past 13 years, state sponsored support of Purchase College has drastically decreased, while student paid tuition has risen to fund the overall rise in the college's operating budget.
In a time when the sense of community in the campus is crumbling, we need your support now more than ever.
We urge you to stand with your fellow students, and fight these unjust tuition hikes to keep higher education affordable.

State Education Commissioner Ken Wagner used his annual address to make the case that education is making progress in Rhode Island.
Wagner touted the expansion of full-day kindergarten to every school district.
He also discussed free student access to the PSAT and SAT exams, standardized tests required for most college applications. Wagner reported an increase of more than 3,600 students who registered for the SATs this school year.
Wagner also took the time to advocate for Governor Gina Raimondo's college tuition proposal, the RI Promise Scholarship Initiative. The proposal would grant students in good academic standing two years of free tuition at one of the state's public colleges.
"Rhode Island Promise makes a simple commitment. If you work hard enough to meet the acceptance criteria, there will be a seat waiting for you at a Rhode Island public college or university," said Wagner.
Wagner noted that there are fewer jobs available for workers without a high school diploma.
"Of the 11.5 million jobs created nationally since 2010, only 80,000, or less than 1%, went to people with a high school diploma or less," said Wagner.

Longer Tire Life Rules
► Select the right tire for the application. Proper tire selection is critical to determine the success that truck will have at performing its function. This goes beyond just the tire size, careful attention should be paid to match the tire type, construction, and compounds to the application.
► Match the speed of the forklift to the application. New forklifts are equipped to travel at speeds that exceed a solid tire's capacity. Lowering forklift speed may prevent premature tire failure.
► Inspect tires regular. Depending on usage and downtime sensitivity, tires should be inspected daily or weekly to remove embedded foreign objects. Inspecting tread wear will alert you to mechanical problems like brakes poorly adjusted or out of alignment.
► Lubricate truck properly. Over-lubricating causes an overflow of grease and oil which is harmful to rubber tires. Inadequate lubrication, particularly in the braking and power systems, will assure free rolling operation by reducing tire drag and skidding stops.
► Keep brakes in adjustment. Improper adjustment of the brakes on trucks whose wheels are part of the braking system, may cause heat build in the tire and cause premature tire failure.
► Check axle alignment and steering. Proper alignment insures tread wear is normal and even.
► Allow sufficient tire clearance. Proper tire sizing allows for movement of the steer tire and allows debris to fall free without being wedged in the wheel well.
► Center tire on wheels. Improper mounting of tires causes premature tire failure and poses a safety hazard.
► Use proper equipment and train your service technicians. Servicing industrial tires requires the proper tools and skills.
► Keep runways clean. Keep your floors clean, clear, and in good repair. Sharp objects, chemicals, and bad surfaces directly effect the useful life of a tire.
► Line travel routes to help drivers avoid collisions, scrapes, and bumps with walls, equipment, curbs, or other obstacles.
► Avoid excessive heat. Avoid prolonged exposure to hot surfaces or contact with hot metals. Heat shields may be used if heat source is unavoidable.
► Avoid spinning and quick stops. Sharp turns, quick starts and stops wear tread rapidly, grind in foreign objects and cause premature failure.
► Avoid overloading. Overloading causes rubber separation, cutting, chipping, and tire blow out. Overloading can occur when load is not centered, load is dangled on the ends of the forks, or fast cornering.
► Avoid oil, grease, or gasoline. Besides affecting the handling of the truck, chemicals can cause the breakdown of tire rubber compound leading to failure.
► Train your customer's operator. Proper driving techniques, inspection, and regular maintenance will extend the life of the machine and the tires.
► Avoid standing loads. Solid tires can form a flat spot if left loaded overnight. In extreme cases, this flat spot may cause a bump each time the tire rotates, requiring its replacement

Advertisers say that media buyers are responsible for ensuring brand safety, though some have decided to take matter into their own hands.
According to a study by the CMO Council and Dow Jones, reported by eMarketer, 67 per cent of brand marketers hold media buying firms accountable for ensuring proper ad placement. To help, however, some advertisers are letting agencies and ad buying networks explicitly know what the correct brand message, identity and associations are, so they know what's actually appropriate.
50 per cent of the marketers surveyed said they were developing guidelines for their agency and ad buying networks.
It was also found that consumers don't respond very well to poorly placed ads. Two-thirds of consumers said they would no longer use a brand after a negative advertising experience, while more than 33 per cent said their perception of a brand changes if a brand's ads appear on questionable sites.

- EFC Grad Header
Assessment and Graduation
We have a rigorous assessment process for every project. Firstly, the outcome of the project is assessed by the audience – this could be the CEO of a company if the outcome is a business pitch, the target audience for a book in a publishing project, or reviews from the audience of the play in a drama project. This ensures that the outcome must reach professional standards. Secondly, the content and knowledge developed is assessed through more traditional assessment techniques; through essays, quizzes and tests. Thirdly, the student participation is assessed – their effort and contribution to lessons and project work time, the quality and punctuality of their homework. Finally, students reflect on their own learning in depth, and the quality of this reflection adds to the overall grade of each project – Bronze, Silver or Gold.
The wonderful thing about this assessment system is that with each project, you get a new start. You get a chance to learn from your mistakes and improve. Every child has the chance to achieve gold; we recognise the strengths and potential of each individual.
At the end of year 8, EFC students have a graduation interview in front of their teacher, their parents and some members of the school community, maybe a school governor or a senior teacher. They speak for twenty minutes, explaining their progress and their learning over the two years. This is a very daunting challenge even for adults, but our students are well-prepared and they always impress the panel.
EFC students are proud of what they do. They want their work to be absolutely perfect, and always to professional standard. They don't see teachers as having all the answers; they know that they have to work independently and with others to find out what they need to know. Children learn best when they are interested and they have a reason to; REAL projects make this happen.

Last week, CALPERS (California Public Employees' Retirement System) announced that it would liquidate its $4 billion hedge fund portfolio. What does it mean to investors?
What is CALPERS?
CALPERS is the largest pension manager in the U.S., with $300 Billion in assets invested worldwide and serves 3,000 public sector employers in California. It is also known as one of the most sophisticated investment organizations in the world.
What are Hedge Funds?
Hedge funds are better understood when compared to active equity funds. An active equity fund manager selects the stocks he or she believes will outperform the general market index. Active equity fund returns are driven by two factors: first the manager's stock selection skill and secondly the correlation with the general direction of the market. In any given year, active equity funds tend do well (in absolute return terms) when the market is positive and vice versa, regardless of their managers' stock selection skill. This is what the pros mean with the expression "a rising tide lifts all boats". In an active mutual fund, the "correlation" component dominates portfolio returns and the value added by the "skill" factor is much smaller.
Hedge funds are less constrained than mutual funds in how they manage assets: they are typically allowed not only to purchase the stocks they expect to outperform, but also to sell short the stocks they expect to underperform. Due to these short sales, their returns are relatively less driven by the "correlation effect" and more by the "skill effect" compared to active equity funds. Hiring more skill and less correlation is the major reason why institutions hire hedge funds. In a nutshell, hedge funds represent an extreme type of active investing, because skill is what distinguishes "active" or "predictive" investing from "passive" or "market-based" investing.
Why did CALPERS drop hedge funds?
CALPERS cited three reasons to explain its decision:
Is this a Big Deal?
Yes and no. From CALPERS perspective, their $4 billion investment in hedge funds represents slightly more than 1% of their assets under management, which is relatively small. But it's a serious signal for other investors. If such a large and resourceful organization decides to walk away from hedge funds because the benefits of skill and low correlation are outweighed by complexity, cost and scale problems, we doubt the equation is any better for other investors.
Our Take Away
In our view, this one more piece of evidence in favor of market-based investing. When an organization such as CALPERS says it's not worthwhile for them to pursue extreme active management, it sends a powerful message. Yes, there may be some potential profits from active (predictive) investing, but they are not large enough to cover their cost.

In the frequently asked questions section of the Twinity website it says that
"You can explore different locations, meet new people, pimp your avatar and apartment, and generally have fun!"
It seems that you cannot build or script. I can buy stuff and set up an apartment if I want to but I don't so apart from wandering around there does not seem to be a lot for me to do. That maybe because I don't know anyone here, though I seem to have one friend and that is clever, I had no idea...
It would seem that there is a plan for people to be able to upload artefacts that they have made into Twinity, "we are working on that" but I guess scale etc. could be an issue here and it does not look as if they are working to enable building and scripting.
I walked around virtual Berlin - the advert says to "take a walking tour and see the sights," yes they are pretty and I guess I could learn my way around if I wanted to. I started to investigate several buildings that seemed to have doors, but really they don't. They are external images only, unlike SL, where someone would design and build the whole building down to the tiniest details, all that is missing from the buildings in Twinity - mostly because avatars cannot build I guess!
So doors are not for walking though, bicycles are not for riding, daytime (CET) is daylight and night-time is dark. Avatars are, or can be, fairly realistic.
It is easy to chat to people and listen to the background music that is already set up.
I guess all that is left for me to do is make my apartment :-(
In Twinity at the moment there is not much to capture my attention. In Second Life - where I am happy to spend hours, I have a group of friends, places that I like to spend time and places to investigate. I am delighted to meet up with friends and chat, about life, the world, education etc., but if I am alone, as I frequently am, I can build and pretend to script and still really enjoy myself. I am not too bothered by being there alone as I am occupied. Sometimes, between projects I am looking for inspiration, the next project, then I may get fed up, but as soon as I am hooked on a project idea I enjoy it again. The big difference between the two is the ability to create.
I can't go back in and make an apartment or house or flat, I have a real life one to look after and clean etc., that project just holds no fascination at all, I would put my avatar in it and she would probably never come out. I can't cope with that :-) I will leave her outside and free, then if I visit again I will join her in looking around any new builds.

(CNN) — Northern California is bracing for an onslaught of rain beginning late Saturday as the southern part of the state begins to dry out and assess damage from downpours that left at least two people dead.
The rain headed for Northern California could pose a threat to Oroville Dam, where rising water levels may test the limits of its damaged spillway.
Storms are due to start overnight Saturday and linger through Monday, with 2 to 4 inches of widespread rain expected, CNN meteorologist Allison Chinchar said. Some areas may get up to 10 inches.
Driving rain could dramatically reduce visibility, Chinchar warned.
Meantime, power is still out and cars still submerged across Southern California, which experienced one of the most drenching storms to hit the region in recent years.
More than 131,000 customers lost power Friday night, officials said. Sinkholes, localized floods, and downed trees and power lines also were reported.
Strongest storm this season
In Victorville in San Bernardino County, one person was found dead Friday in a flooded vehicle, firefighters said. A second storm victim, a 55-year-old man, was electrocuted when a power line fell Friday in the Sherman Oaks area of Los Angeles, the fire department said.
The storm proved harrowing for one Los Angeles driver on Friday night, when the road beneath her car gave out, plunging her to the bottom of a 20-foot sinkhole, CNN affiliate KTLA reported.
"My car kept turning and turning upside down, and I was just like, 'I got to stay calm,'" Stephanie Scott told the TV station.
Scott managed to climb out of her car and yell for help. When firefighters arrived, they used ladders to free her from the sinkhole.
"It's totally a miracle," Scott told KTLA. About ten minutes after she was plucked to safety, a van that had been teetering on the edge of the hole crashed down on top of Scott's car, KTLA reported.
The rain was so furious, a parking garage in Los Angeles turned into a waterfall.
Rainfall totals by the National Weather Service showed parts of Santa Barbara County have seen more than 7 inches of rain in two days. Parts of Ventura County have seen totals of more than 6 inches.
The storm has also blanketed higher elevations with snow.
Winter storm warnings were posted Saturday morning. National Weather Service said snow showers and gusting winds were expected.
Oroville Dam 'is holding up'
Officials near Oroville Dam are watching the incoming rain after evacuations were ordered earlier this week when a swollen Lake Oroville and a damaged spillway at the dam led to a flash-flood threat.
The new round of rainfall brings more worries for communities south of the dam.
On Tuesday, officials downgraded the evacuation order to a warning, allowing 188,000 evacuees from Butte, Sutter and Yuba counties to return home.
On Friday, officials voiced optimism that the dam and lake could handle the upcoming rain.
"We have generated a large volume of storage space so we can take on a very big storm," said Bill Croyle, acting director of the California Department of Water Resources
The threat level has been reduced for residents living near the dam, but Butte County officials advised those returning to their homes to "remain vigilant and prepared."
"The dam is holding up, it's structurally sound," said Jay Smith, a spokesman for the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection.

OKLAHOMA CITY — LeBron James sat out the Cleveland Cavaliers' game at Oklahoma City because of a sore left knee.
Cleveland coach David Blatt announced the decision Thursday night during his pregame media session. He said James started to have issues following Cleveland's victory over Toronto on Tuesday night.
"After the last game, he felt some soreness in the back of his knee," Blatt said. "Nothing major. He got up this morning and didn't feel particularly good, so we decided to hold him out."
Cavaliers guard Kyrie Irving then left the game late in the second quarter when he injured his left knee. A Cavaliers spokesman said it was a left knee contusion, and Irving returned to start the second half.
James has averaged 24.9 points, 9.0 assists and 4.9 rebounds during Cleveland's eight-game winning streak, helping the Cavaliers climb to the top of the Central Division. He entered the day fourth in the NBA in scoring at 24.8 points per game and second in minutes at 38 a game.
He is listed as questionable for Friday's game at the New Orleans Pelicans, according to a report from the Akron Beacon Journal.
"We're monitoring it, and I really don't believe we have any kind of serious situation on our hands, just some soreness and we're being cautious," Blatt said.

#DemokratskaPartijaSocijalistaDps #MilutinSimović #Izbori
Election campaigning so far has proven that these elections will not be about which party gains trust, but it will be an opportunity to see real values that the citizens appreciate in the future of their state, said Milutin Simović, vice president of the Parliament and official of DPS when speaking to Pobjeda daily.
DPS support is steadily growing, research shows.
"This is a confirmation of seriousness and quality of our electoral program, that guarantees stability, security, multi-ethnical peace, integration, economy, employment opportunities, better education, health and social system, life standard, all in all, more prosperous Montenegro", he said.
DPS opponents, on the other hand, are a destructive force against the state, that has a goal of destabilizing the country and put it in a submissive position to other countries.
"Opposition initiated and actively participated in the writing of a new set of electoral laws, in order to prevent abuses. And what happened? Those who complained about transparency in the campaigns did not fulfil their obligations according to law. This was not an accident. They are trying to hide funding sources for their aggressive, brutal, primitive and dishonest campaign aimed against DPS and our leader. DF is a clear example of a campaign being funded outside of Montenegro, against our Constitution. They are marionetes lead by someone else", Simović believes.
Big coalition Ključ is only big in their name.
"Both Democrats and SDP say they would join DF. They also swear they would not cooperate with DPS, although no invitation was extended. Those who swore to protect Montenegro, now are silent. Those type of politics will not be accepted by Montenegro", Simović said.
Opposition afraid of defeat
Commenting on DF announcements that they will not accept the defeat and and that they will gather in front of the Parliament, Simović said that they are afraid of losing.
"Clearly their dishonest campaign is not giving results, so they are planning an exit strategy. Aware of their upcoming defeat, they will deny the fairness of elections. They will blame anyone but themselves", Simović said.

The project addresses two key elements of the modernisation agenda for European universities: the sustainability of university funding, financial management and development of full costing (EUIMA-Full Costing) and the development of appropriate measurement tools and indicators for the assessment of university-based fundamental research and collaborative research with external partners reflecting the diversity of university missions (EUIMA-Collaborative Research). A transversal focus running through the project has aimed at identifying future human resource and management development requirements. EUA has undertaken extensive research on these key elements through many workshops, study visits, case studies and consultations that bring a substantial volume of empirical evidence to underpin its findings and recommendations.
This final event of the project presents these main findings and recommendations and connects them in a timely manner to the current European policy process on the development of Horizon 2020 and its Rules of Participation and the European Research Area (ERA) policy framework. EUA has been strongly involved as a European Stakeholder in the consultations on the development of Horizon 2020 as well as the "simplification" debate, submitting several position papers on behalf of its membership.
Presentations will be made by key contributors to the EUIMA project (both from universities and external partners/ agencies). Invited participants will be those who have contributed to the project's main activities, European policy makers from the relevant European Commission Directorates General, European Parliament (ITRE and CULT Committees) and the European Council (Member State Permanent Representations in Brussels) and other major European Stakeholder Organisations including science/research policy journalists.
The main target groups for the event are European policy-makers, representatives from EU Member States Ministries and Permanent Representations to the EU as well as other Brussels based stakeholders interested in EU research and innovation policy.
If you would like to participate in the event and receive an invitation, please send an email to email@example.com
EUIMA is a project funded by the Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) through a Support Action within the 2009 Capacities - Science in Society Programme.

This is a rush transcript from "Hannity," November 3, 2016. This copy may not be in its final form and may be updated.
NEIL CAVUTO, HOST: All right, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi already sending out a message to Republicans to stop using the I-word when it comes to Hillary Clinton, that if she were to be elected president, that they would be chasing her with impeachment hearings.
"The American people want Republicans to accept the will of the people and take impeachment off the table. Responsible Republicans must do so immediately."
Of course, she is making the assumption that Hillary Clinton wins right there.
Anyway, Georgia Republican Senator David Perdue is a member of the Judiciary Committee.
Sir, what did you think about what Nancy Pelosi was saying there, don't even think about it?
SEN. DAVID PERDUE, R-GA.: Well, I think it's just ridiculous.
And what I'm really troubled by here, Neil, is that the pattern of corruption is not just that Hillary Clinton lied about Benghazi and lied about her emails to Congress and to the FBI, but now we see this pay-to- pay corruption.
And it's not just one or two events. It's a litany of things. But beyond all that is this pattern of failure as secretary of state. From the Russia reset to the premature removal of troops in Iraq to the red line in Syria, I mean, this is a pattern of failure with this person. It's a stark contrast we have coming Tuesday.
CAVUTO: What do you see happening now?
Of course, the former speaker, now minority leader, is hinting that this is what Republicans are going to do if Hillary Clinton is elected, that you will just be chasing her with investigations and hearings, all the way up to impeachment, and that will bedevil her presidency, I guess. What do you say?
PERDUE: Well, I think that's a distraction.
Let's first get this election done. And, right now, we have a stark contrast to change the direction of our country. We can choose a third term of Barack Obama or we can choose a new direction with Donald Trump.
And what I see happening right now is Trump is actually surging in the states where I have been the last two or three weeks. There's a movement out there. It's bigger than Donald Trump. I saw it in my race here in Georgia in 2014. And it's not going to go away.
I believe that we're going to see surprising results come Tuesday because of this growing movement in America today about having real change effected in amongst the gridlock in Washington, Neil.
CAVUTO: All right.
By the way, would you -- let's say Hillary Clinton loses, Congressman. Would you be among those saying that she should still be investigated?
PERDUE: Well, absolutely.
If it happened to me or you, you would be investigated, of course. This was a clear abuse of power as secretary of state. And this needs to by totally aired out. Look, our democracy depends on total transparency among government leaders. And so that is what is called for. This not a vendetta. This is just new revelations of an ongoing investigation by the FBI.
So I don't see anything untoward about the timing of this or anything else. But I do think it should be pursued to its fullest extent.
CAVUTO: We will watch closely, sir. Thank you, David Perdue, Georgia senator. He's on the Senate Judiciary Committee, key player in all of this.

"The father's playgroup has given me the chance to mix with other dads living in the area who are at a similar stage in life, and given me the inner satisfaction that my son has gotten to know me, and still chooses to love me."
Con, father of Deon
"Attending the father's playgroup was great. I learned to do things with my child that I would not normally do, like singing. I was amazed at my son's reaction to the singing activities and to see how much he enjoyed it. Now I make sure we sing a lot more together."
Peter, father of Ryan
"I think many fathers want to be more involved in their children's lives. This often involves changing attitudes about men and 'caring roles'. I thought the playgroup was a fantastic opportunity for dads to interact with other fathers and spend some time caring for their kids in a supportive environment."
Dinesh, father of Jinder
"We like to come to playgroup every week."
"The playgroup is very nice and enjoyable; a good time for the kids to play and learn new skills and activities."
"It's a lovely playgroup. Thank you!"
"The playgroup is a nice opportunity for kids to mingle with other kids and learn sharing."

We are in the sunny and beautiful town of Long Beach and Formula Junior continues. One team really felt the need to chance their fortunes. Vemac wanted more this time around and boy did they get it. After the dou has beaten Luc Pjannick and banished him to third place - a very impressive one though after his previous efforts - it was down to them. In an extremely close end, young German Julien Ottenberger managed to beat his team mate by three thousands of a second. It remains to be seen though wether the team can score their first win in Formula Junior especially with names like Yosef Jaao and Willow Syfret near to them.

Vemac Grand Prix were the favourites for a good result in Long Beach after scoring a 1-2 in qualifying conditions. The only question remaining was wether they could carry this performance over and become the heroes of Long Beach. In the shorter Sprint Race, the start would be helpful in answering this important question. Unfortunately, one of the Vemac cars started absolutely horrendous. Julien Ottenberger dropped down to eight place on the first lap. His partner Nicolaas Van Rossem was a lot better at that and took the lead his German team partner and buddy left over. Having this lead and a very well set-up car was enough for the rookie to defend strongly against Pjannick before starting an offensive of his own which secured him the win. Belgian fans are happy and Belgian fansites are already trying to write Van Rossem as a future Formula 1 champion. Aside from the disappointed Ottenberger who managed to fight his way back up to fourth, the first four cars finished in starting order. On the other hand there's fury at the back of the grid. A collision at the start between Asuka Rugen and Fritz Eisenberger left the latter out of the race and the former a lap down on the winner. Luke Speed truly felt ashamed after spinning out of the race in front of his home crowd.

Vemac had the upper hand in the Sprint Race, the only question was wether they could take that performance and bring it again in the valueable Main Race. Despite dropping of by a few hundredths, they still looked good. Two drivers, however, were apparentely not happy with their Sprint Race efforts and took it to another level, Mark Stangassinger was the first to relegate them to the places behind him. Shortly before the session ended, however another star managed to rise. Khalil Malek, known as a driver of McQueen, showed a brilliant performance and managed to take pole position for the main race. Will Johnson must be very unhappy though, because he dropped a whole 14 places (despite only losing two tenths) and has to make up ground in the race itself. Yosef Jaao disappointed as well, only 15th place for the possible title contender. While we are at the topic of title contenders, Volkswagen BlueMotion Rookie Racing came back from their first race slump and will start in fifth and seventh.

The entire coast of the USA is hyped up for 40 minutes of Formula Junior and with many favourites for a possible win, it could only become very exciting. Nobody could be sure who would win this one, especially since two rounds of pitstops would throw the field in turmoil. Could Vemac continue their unstoppable run or would pole sitter Khalil Malek prove to be their undoing? Many exciting scenes, all together way to long to end up in this report, later we knew who would be the three heroes on the podium. Did I say heroes? I really should correct myself then: heroes and heroines. After all, young Asuka Rugen, last year's title contender, finally broke through her streak of bad luck in 2011 to score her first win of this season. Behind her were an extremely impressive Stylianos Stasanor, who came back from thirteenth on the grid to finish for 12 points and Lenny Sherry who also improved his position from qualifying a lot.

N.D., Minn. leaders respond to ballpark shooting wounding GOP leader
Members of Congress from North Dakota and Minnesota responded to the shooting that left five people injured and the shooter dead at a baseball field in Alexandria, Va., Wednesday.
National media reports say that shortly after 7 a.m. Wednesday, a lone gunman exchanged gunfire with law enforcement and wounded House Majority Whip Steve Scalise, R-La., in the hip. Scalise was reported to have undergone surgery and was in critical condition Wednesday afternoon.
The gunman has been identified as James T. Hodgkinson of Belleville, Ill. His death was announced later by President Donald Trump.
Here's how leaders in North Dakota and Minnesota are responding:
Rep. Kevin Cramer, R-N.D., was not present at the practice. He issued a statement calling the shooter "a spineless coward" and referring to Capitol Police as "heroic."
"Kris and I are praying for our friend Steve Scalise, his staff, Capitol Police and their families," the statement said. "Events like this cause reflection and renew a commitment to unity among our colleagues."
Sen. Heidi Heitkamp, D-N.D., called it a "sad day," and offered prayers and thoughts to those present at the shooting.
"An attack on a member of Congress or any American is an attack on all of us," she said in a statement. "We now need to let law enforcement continue to do their jobs and get all the facts of what happened. The actions this morning reinforce what many of us in Congress already know: Capitol Police officers are heroes. They put themselves in harm's way every day and run to the sound of the gun."
John Hoeven, R-N.D., offered similar remarks. He also was not at the practice.
"Our thoughts are with House Whip Steve Scalise, our Capitol Police officers and congressional aides who were injured in today's shooting while practicing for a charity baseball game," he said in a statement. "Today, we are especially grateful to our law enforcement officers who put their lives on the line to keep us safe. Our prayers are with all those injured."
Sen. Al Franken, D-Minn., responded on Twitter: "Horrified by shooting in Alexandria," he wrote. "My thoughts are with @SteveScalise, my colleagues, staff members, and police who were attacked this AM."
Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., also responded on social media: "Prayers for Rep. Scalise, aides, law enforcement, and all those who were hurt," she tweeted. "No words to describe how terrible this is."
Rep. Collin Peterson, D-Minn., responded with a statement emailed from his office.
"My thoughts and prayers go out to the victims and their families of the shooting at baseball practice this morning," he said. "This was a horrific act and I commend Capitol Police for their bravery and efforts which likely saved many lives.I joined my colleagues today on the House floor as a sign that we are Americans first."

text: Debunking Myths about Literacy Stations It can be tempting for K-5 teachers to abandon the use of independent literacy stations during their reading block. After all, this instructional model requires careful planning and some savvy classroom management skills. However, when literacy stations are used to reinforce skills that have been previously taught in whole-class and small-group lessons, the planning involved is a lot less daunting. And, when the practice taking place during literacy stations doesn't rely on feeding students "brand new material," teachers don't feel obligated to constantly create new activities for kids to complete. To set the stage for effective literacy stations, plan to teach reading skills during three phases of instruction: A skill is first modeled within whole-class mini-lessons. Then, the students experiment with the skill in teacher-led, small-group instruction. After coaching and guiding the students in small groups, the skill is added to an independent literacy station for continued practice. This three-phase cycle honors the gradual release of responsibility. The scaffold allows teachers to guide students toward independent mastery of difficult reading skills. Let's examine an after-reading summarization skill as it is pushed through the cycle. PHASE 1: Model the skill within a whole-class mini-lesson series. Introduce the summarization skill known as Somebody...wanted...but...so...then... (SWBST). Explain to the class that these words represent a framework for students to insert details and construct a summary. Reveal a previously-read and well-known text to students. Model the SWBST framework (e.g., The Empty Pot) using our downloadable pocket-chart cards. Then reveal a second example using a previously-read text. Conclude this initial lesson by facilitating the completion of an all-class SWBST frame with student input (e.g., The Little Red Hen). � Repeat this whole-class lesson over the next several days using a variety of previously-read texts including literature, historical narratives, informational texts, etc. (NOTE: This framework is effective with any informational text structured as a problem/solution.) PHASE 2: Guide students to experiment with the skill within teacher-led small groups. Using leveled texts, students will read and orally summarize the key supporting details. Hand each student one of the SWBST pocket-chart cards and conduct a shared summary. While students are orally summarizing their parts, the teacher scribes the writing onto an enlarged graphic organizer. (NOTE: The graphic organizer can be recreated onto large chart paper, projected using the PDF version, or displayed as a Notebook file on the Smart Board.) This scribing activity teaches students how to record key details within the SWBST graphic organizer. PHASE 3: Practice skills within independent literacy stations. Once students show understanding in whole-class and small-group lessons, it's time to give them ongoing practice within literacy stations. Examples might include: LISTENING STATION--Students listen to a text and orally summarize it using the SWBST cards. FLUENCY STATION--Partners read and orally summarize a text using the SWBST cards. CLASSROOM LIBRARY--After reading, students individually summarize key details orally using the cards and/or in writing using the graphic organizer.
