The latest technology brings not only outstanding savings in energy consumption but enables your home to be positively enhanced in appearance with our superb range of infrared heaters. Infrared heaters can be designed to be 'camouflaged' in your home, perhaps in the form of a bathroom mirror, or on the wall as picture. If you have a cold garage floor where you work sometimes, there are infrared mats which can provide economical heat for the small area where you stand. They are very economical because instead of having to heat all the air around you to make you feel warm, they act like the sun's rays directly falling on you, so energy consumption is greatly reduced.
How does infrared heating work?
Infrared heating products operate in the far infrared spectrum producing sun like heat tuned between 9-14 micron meters. This specific narrow range ensures safe and healthy heating.The electromagnetic waves cause molecules to oscillate and release energy within the heated environment. This phenomenon causes us to feel warm.
Traditional heating systems use vast amounts of money to heat the air in a room, just to allow this warm air to rise and gather at the ceiling. We offer you Infrared heating solutions that are up to 50% more energy efficient than most commonly used heating systems. They lock the heat in the objects, slowly releasing pleasant warmth in to the air. Infrared heaters work in a similar way to which the sun heats the earth. Invisible heat rays travel through the air bouncing off the surfaces of objects and that is how everything around us absorbs the heat
Infrared Heater
Unlike traditional heating, Infrared heater does not dry the air. It also prevents heat loss through ventilation, as unlike in the case of traditional heating – there is no hot air that travels around and escapes through opened doors or windows.Infrared heater products are clean, health beneficial and a very energy efficient way of heating. There is no other more instant, economical, healthier and environmentally friendly way of heating.
Outdoor Infrared heater is a great and an energy efficient way to keep restaurant and/or bar customers (or maybe guests in a back garden) warm. Their produced heat goes straight to our bodies, instead of wasting money heating the cold air around us.

Rhode Island Medicare plans are offered by several reputable insurance companies. Let Boomer Benefits help you with comparing rates from all these carriers to help you choose one that is affordable and has high ratings.
Rhode Island Medigap
Medigap plans in Rhode Island follow the national standardized plan outlines. For people over age 65, there are 10 options available. For people under age 65 who qualify for Medicare due to disability, insurance companies must all offer at least Medigap Plan A for you. Your policy will not have any pre-existing condition exclusions or limitations.
Most people enroll in Medigap during their open enrollment window. This period lasts for 6 months after your Part B effective date, and during this time, you can choose any plan you like. Your application cannot be denied for any health conditions. If you miss this window, you can still apply but insurance companies will then ask for a medical history and can turn you down if they feel your health conditions pose too much risk to them.
Rhode Island Medigap Plan F
All Medigap carriers in Rhode Island must offer Plan C and Plan F. The Medicare supplement Plan F is quite popular around the nation because it covers all of the expenses which normally Medicare would require you to pay. Considering that even the hospital deductible is over $1200, Plan F can provide a lot of peace of mind.
Many insurance companies also offer Plan G and Plan in Rhode Island. Plan N has lower premiums, but you pay doctor copays and your Part B deductible. You also would pay excess charges, but state law in Rhode Island prohibits doctors from charging you excess charges. You would not need to worry about these excess charges unless you seek treatment out of state.
Ask your agent to explain the difference to see if this plan could net you some annual savings. Our team of Medicare experts here at Boomer Benefits are standing by and ready to help you. Contact us today to discuss Medicare plans in Rhode Island that might work for you.

Loughborough Grammar School (commonly LGS) founded in 1495 by Thomas Burton, is an independent school for boys in Loughborough, Leicestershire, England. The school has approximately 910 day boys and 60 boarders. It is one of four schools known as the Loughborough Endowed Schools, along with Loughborough High School, Fairfield Preparatory School and Loughborough Amherst School. The Schools Foundation are separate independent schools in their own right but share a board of governors. In line with the charitable intent of its founders, Loughborough Grammar School and Loughborough High School offer a number of means-tested bursaries, called School Assisted Places (SAPs), which cover up to 100% of fees.
LGS was founded after Thomas Burton, a prosperous wool merchant from Loughborough, left money for priests to pray for his soul upon his death in 1495; these priests went on to found the school that would become LGS.
Loughborough is one of England's oldest schools, pre-dating similar institutions such as Harrow, Westminster and Stowe by a number of centuries. Alongside Winchester College, Harrow School, Monmouth School, Eton College, Dulwich College and Radley College, it is one of a small number of independent boarding schools in Britain that remain for boys only. Notable old boys include: Sir Thomas Abney who founded the Bank of England; Charles McCurdy who played a central role in the reforming Liberal Party of the early 20th century; Rev. George Davys who educated the young Queen Victoria and the flying ace Air Vice Marshal Johnnie Johnson who destroyed more Luftwaffe aircraft than any other Allied pilot. Former masters include the former government minister Lord Elton and author Colin Dexter.
The school was founded in the Parish Church in the centre of Loughborough in 1495, but was moved by the trustees of the Burton Charity to its present location in 1852. A purpose-built site on Burton Walks became its permanent home, initially consisting of the main school building, lodgings and a gatehouse at the Leicester Road entrance. These buildings were Grade II Listed in the 1980s.[2]
The school celebrated its quincentenary in 1995, when it was visited by HM Queen Elizabeth II. During her visit the Queen opened the new English block, the "Queen's Building", which includes a state of the art drama studio.
LGS is based on a multi-acre campus on the south side of Loughborough town centre; it occupies a site adjacent to Loughborough High School and Fairfield Preparatory School, laid out along Burton Walks. Our Lady's Convent School is situated on Gray Street, about 5 minutes' walk away from the main campus. The core of the LGS campus is the quadrangle, on the eastern side of Burton Walks. Dating from 1850, the Tower, consisting of the Victorian Gothic tower, original gymnasium and hall are at the head of the quadrangle, nowadays accommodating the History department, Chapel and Sixth Form common room, and are the oldest buildings on the current site. The quadrangle is completed by School House (the senior boarding house, which was built as the Headmaster's residence), the Queen's Building (1995, English and Drama), the Barrow Building (c. 1910, Classics and Modern Languages), the Cope Building (2000, Modern Languages) on the north side and the Library and old laboratory buildings (now housing Computing and Religion and Philosophy) on the south side. The Tower and School House are both grade II listed, as is the gatehouse[3]
On the western side of Burton Walks are located the Ireland Building (Physics), the Norman Walter Building (Chemistry), Murray Building (Biology), Pullinger Building (Mathematics) as well as the Hodson Hall, where most school functions and assemblies are held, the Burton Hall, primarily a dining hall, and the Art and Design department, Sports Hall, swimming pool and the Combined Cadet Force's buildings. A number of houses on this side of the Walks are now owned by the School, including Buckland House, the administrative hub of the School, containing the Headmaster and Deputy Headmasters' offices as well as the general office. Other houses include Red House, formerly used for music lessons but now largely occupied by the Business Studies, Economics and Politics departments as well as reprographics; Friesland House containing Network Services, and one more houses the Bursary. Both the Headmaster of the Grammar School and the Headmistress of the High School traditionally reside in properties on the Walks.
The astroturf tennis and hockey pitches are not strictly part of the Grammar School, but are shared with the High School, although a new hockey pitch purely for the Grammar School was opened in January 2019. The Music School (2006), is also another of these shared buildings, it includes a recital hall as well as practice rooms and recording facilities.
In addition to the main campus, the School owns a 70-acre (280,000 m2) site at the nearby village of Quorn, consisting of sports facilities, including rugby, football, cricket pitches and athletics.
The Burton Chapel is located in Loughborough's Parish Church, school services are held in both this chapel and a second chapel located in the School's quadrangle.
There is a public right of way along Burton Walks connecting the council estate of Shelthorpe with Loughborough town centre.[4]
Candidates sit an entrance examination to gain admission to the school, in January of Year 6, so as to enter Year 7 at the age of 11. However, the middle school system that still prevails in North West Leicestershire led the School to introduce a smaller Year 6 intake for pupils leaving their primary schools after Year 5, as happens in a middle school system. There is also a 13+ exam, for those wishing to enter at Year 9, and 16+ entrance based on GCSE performance for boys wishing to enter at Sixth Form level.
In keeping with many other Independent Schools, the choice of subjects at the school tends to be more traditional. The most popular subjects at A Level are Mathematics, History, Biology, Chemistry and Physics. Subjects such as Business Studies, Psychology and Physical Education have been introduced at A Level in recent years.
Extracurricular activities[edit]
Combined Cadet Force[edit]
Loughborough Grammar School runs a large Combined Cadet Force (CCF), comprising Royal Navy, Army and RAF sections. About 240 pupils (including a cohort from the High School) are members of the CCF. Major events include the annual Remembrance Parade in Loughborough in November, and the Annual Review in May. In 2003, Lt Col George Beazley was awarded the MBE in recognition of his work with the CCF.[5] The CCF used to occupy a number of old Nissen-style huts, but these have been replaced with a purpose-built Cadet Force building, part sponsored by the MOD. This was opened in 2005. The Royal Naval section of the CCF is affiliated to the Type 45 Daring Class destroyer HMS Diamond, whilst the Army section is affiliated to the Royal Anglian Regiment and the RAF Section to RAF Cosford.[6] The first Senior Cadet to be awarded the 'Priestly Sword' was Andy Halliwell in 2013 in recognition of his leadership.
The quality of musical performance at the Loughborough Schools Foundation rivals that of the best schools nationally. Music scholarships are available at 11+, 13+ and 16+ and may be backed up by means-tested bursaries. The construction of a new Music School by the then Endowed Schools in 2006 enabled a greater level of cooperation than had previously been possible, and the wealth of resources available enable the music department to run over fifty musical ensembles each week.[7] There are about 100 performances per year, ranging from the annual orchestra and choral concert in the De Montfort Hall, Leicester, to jazz, brass and chamber music ensembles. The various choirs sing regular evensongs at cathedrals across the country and there is an annual tour, usually to a European destination. The Loughborough Schools Music Big Band and Symphonic Wind Band have competed nationally at the English Concert Band Festival, and these bands also tour abroad regularly.
The major sports at the School are rugby, hockey, cricket, tennis, athletics, football and cross country. The School competes in national competitions in these sports, and has a full structure of teams from U12 to U18 level. The senior cross-country team was victorious in February 2017 in the 46th annual relay race[8] at King Henry VIII School, Coventry. The senior rugby, cricket and hockey teams have all toured abroad in recent years, including separate hockey and cricket tours to South Africa, as well as a recent rugby tour to Australia and The Far East. Other sports include swimming, basketball, badminton, fencing, football, golf, sailing, table tennis, karting and bridge. Loughborough Dynamo F.C. was formed in 1955 by a group of pupils who no longer wished to play rugby.
The school runs an active Duke of Edinburgh's Award scheme, a Scout Troop and biennial adventurous expeditions, which have visited areas such as the High Atlas Mountains of Morocco, the Himalayas and Greenland. A number of clubs and societies run regularly, including the Senior Debating Society and a school newspaper made by students, entitled VOX. The school engages in regular charity fund-raising events, including non-uniform days and concerts.[9]
House system[edit]
The school operates a house system; every boy is placed in one of four houses: Abney (Green, after Sir Thomas Abney), Yates (Yellow, after William Yates), Pulteney (Purple, after Richard Pulteney) and Davys (Sky blue, after George Davys) and boys below the Upper Sixth have a small line in one of these colours on their school tie, between larger stripes for the school's red and navy colours. The houses are named after alumni. The house system provides internal competition in a number of sporting disciplines as well as quiz, chess, bridge and music competitions, with a points system (40 for winning an event down to 10 for finishing fourth) calculating the eventual winner of the Stamper Cup. The Eagle trophy is awarded to the house that wins the most points in non-sporting house competitions.

Essays About Stereotyping – The Constructive End
Stereotypes – the message again appears to have an ugly facial skin. We are so useful to discovering and employing it from the harmful perspective that it's challenging to believe it may be favorable.
But yet there are actually beneficial stereotypes. A lot more – all stereotypes have particular favorable characteristics. In truth, stereotyping is definitely a mental health procedure that can't and shouldn't get replaced. When anyone behave on this sort of stereotypes is actually a very different narrative, of course.
That's why, if allotted to create essays about stereotyping, we recommend that you take a distinctive perspective – the main one while using the optimistic connotation.
Precisely what are positive stereotypes?
What exactly is effortlessly concluded with the identify per se, beneficial stereotypes are beneficial attitudes that priority some population group. Like Asians currently being proficient at managing arithmetic challenges or African Us residents currently being far better sportsmen.
The thing with positive stereotypes is because might cause a negative or positive effect, based on the condition, the ethnic conditions as well as particular person stating it. Although in most cases they are often regarded as a enhance, in other people they only worsen the subject of such stereotyping.
This previous in conclusion is made after having a related play around was retained and identified in Record of Identity and Societal Mindset in 2013. In the play with it, people of Oriental descent ended up put through a confident stereotype using a Caucasian individual. In line with the results of the test, such stereotyping created them the feelings of:
- frustration,
- discouragement
But still because of their beneficial character, good stereotypes are far tougher to address. Perpetrators don't notice the damage they may be causing the things of stereotyping and thereby are considerably less mindful as to what it is said.
In actual fact, it has been proven that simply being beneficially stereotyped in one area will trigger bad stereotyping in one other domain (African Americans' sporting accomplishments along with their supposed mental inferiority).
But we had been heading to target the positive aspect, weren't we? In some cases, favourable stereotypes may be helpful. The principle ailment is subtlety. People today like becoming an element of the class which can be beneficially stereotyped, but they also don't similar to the stereotype getting voiced and utilized straight. Consequently, the crucial element to submitting an application a confident stereotype with https://fenster-gehrig.ch/essays-on-trainer-part-what-attributes-tutors/ a favorable impact is not putting on it directly.
There is an case in point to demonstrate it. In the corresponding experiment, two categories of Asian Americans have been subjected to a confident stereotype concerning their math concepts skills before you take an exam. The management organization was not subjected to any stereotype in any respect. After the evaluation results were evaluated, it been found the crew that is reminded concerning their arithmetic expertise by means of understated clues conducted far better than another two.
Getting very simple hint and becoming a part of the team that was definitely stereotyped really helped them become more self-assured and provide extra appropriate advice.
Good features among all stereotypes
In actual fact, each of those bad and constructive stereotypes have necessary subconscious functions. Early scientific tests proposed that stereotypes were definitely a characteristic of impolite, authoritarian people today. After developments showed that your particular stereotype is certainly not otherwise but a simplified thought of the reality. In basic thoughts, stereotypes assist people fully grasp and extract that means from exactly what is developing. By making use of stereotypes, people today categorize and systematize facts. As soon as a stereotyped grouping has been created, consumers depend upon it to identify a suitable response in a few cases.
Moreover, stereotypes have certain interpersonal characteristics. They assist men and women truly feel incorporated, which then enables them to feel in their skills (see above for Asian Us residents and math concepts illustration).
Stereotypes support consumers justify selected activities, that could be negative or positive based on the circumstance. They even assistance to fully grasp selected gatherings inside of a selected circumstance.
To summarize
Using the road much less traveled is invariably a lot more work, and academic reports are seldom an exemption. On the other hand, to be able to compose an exceptional piece and create a true share to research, you must believe development.
Have a unique point of view. Look for info that contradict typical values. Don't be scared to become the depressed voice at nighttime (that's a significant overstatement, obviously; people absolutely would blog about optimistic stereotypes). For those who fail to overturn the well-known point of view, you can no less than examine the subject from feasible points of views, which is an achievements in itself.

Humba Pork Pata with Saba. Humba is made up of pork usually the part with a lot of skin and fats, these are usually the pork belly and the pork leg or any other parts with a lot of fatty skin. There are several versions of the Humba, difference are according to available ingredients and according to regions. There are the Visaya or the Batangas and Tagalog versions, never the less Humba is a sinfully delicious, fatty, tangy and sweet.
Click on the link list below to check out some of the pork pata recipes that we have already featured.
For today's Humba dish I have added semi ripe plantain banana, my Humba Pork Pata with Saba. In addition to the banana I have also added the usual boiled egg ingredients. Cooking is basically the same. The pork is slow cooked for hours until the meat fall off from the bones and the pork skins are as soft like gelatine.
Here is the recipe of my Humba Pork Pata with Saba, try it.
1 kilo sliced pork pata
6 semi-ripe plantain bananas peeled, trimmed, diagonally cut in half
6 hardboiled eggs, shelled
1/3 cup vinegar
1/2 cup soy sauce
2 tbsp. Hoisin sauce
2 tbsp. oyster sauce
1/2 cup salted black beans, drained, rinsed
1 head garlic, peeled, crushed
3-5 pieces bay leaf
1-2 tbsp. crushed peppercorns
2-3 star anise
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup corn strach
Cooking Procedure:
Wash pork pata thoroughly and drain. Marinate the pork pata in the mixture of vinegar, soy sauce, and garlic for 30 minutes to 1 hour. In a large sauce pan, put the marinated mixture, add in the crushed peppercorns, bay leaf, star anise and enough water about 2 inches above the meat. Bring to a boil and simmer in low heat for 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Watch the liquid level and add water as necessary. Add in the Hoisin sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, salted black beans and the plantain banana, continue to cook for 20 to 30 minutes or until the pork pata are tender and until most of the liquid has evaporated. Pork skin should be soft like gelatine. During the final 2 to 3 minutes of cooking add in the boiled eggs, correct saltiness and sweetness. Serve hot with a lot of rice.

The Work and Pensions Committee has published its report on the use of benefit sanctions. It is highly critical of the sanctions regime, arging that there is no evidence for its effectiveness and that instead it places vulnerable people at risk.
A joint team from 6 universities has published the final findings of the Welfare Conditionality project (2013-2018). It presents analysis on the effectiveness, impacts and ethics of welfare conditionality, and the sanctions and mandatory support that underpin this approach.
The Work and Pensions Committee has announced a new inquiry into benefit sanctions: how they operate, recent developments, and what the evidence is that they work - either to deter non-compliant behaviour or to help achieve the policy objectives of getting people off benefits and into work.
The inquiry will look at recent sanctions policy developments, like the "yellow card" system which gives claimants 14 days to challenge a decision to impose a sanction before it is put into effect. The system was announced in late 2015 although there is still no date for introducing it.

In the conclusion of my most recent article, "Value SuperScreen Vs. The S&P 500", I discuss a bit of my reservations with the composition of the VSS Portfolio as it sat at that moment, namely, that a few stocks were included which I felt would ultimately not make the cut.
One challenge I have with fully committing to the VSS 22 is the reluctance to throw my lot in with a few companies or industries that I otherwise would avoid in almost all circumstances - Automotive Manufacturers such as GM or TM, airlines like DAL - or that I know very little to nothing about yet. Very certainly, the final step prior to deployment of the VSS 22 will be a final deep dive on every component to determine, despite what confidence and hope the back-testing "proves", whether each holding does not present a danger reminiscent to my three previous failed screening methodologies.
It is not lost on me that GM, TM, and DAL had become members of my universe of coverage, not because I fully expected that they would one day challenge to become a member of the Pretty 30, but that each would eventually be proven to be, despite initial metric passing, inadequate.
In fact, the entire Value SuperScreen began as a methodology I had hoped would narrow down my Universe of Coverage to a more manageable size - I had spent a few months adding in everything I came across with a PEG Ratio of less than 2, an Analyst Recommendation Score of less than 3.0, and in most cases, a dividend yield. The universe of potential stocks soon grew in size to the point that there were a number of ticker symbols contained I no longer recognized, and some such as the above mentioned three which had been added with the expectation of removal on closer examination.
For those who have followed along with the previous two articles thus far, the Value SuperScreen has obviously morphed into something entirely different.
The potential of the Value SuperScreen [VSS] was established in the prior article where a back-test from January 1, 2017 through May 4, 2018 shows the VSS convincingly beating the S&P over that time period - producing a Compound Annual Growth Rate [CAGR] of 23.28% compared to the S&P 500 (SPY) CAGR of 15.45% in the same time frame.
Also included in the above graph was an isolated portfolio of S&P 500 components that also met the VSS criteria (blue line) and my other stock selection strategy represented by my Pretty 30 Portfolio (yellow line). Both of my strategies handily beat the SPY over that time period.
It is worth noting as well that despite their very similar performance, there is absolutely no component overlap between the Pretty 30 and the VSS portfolio.
It is the goal today to finish back-testing the VSS portfolio versus the Rest of the Universe (excluding S&P 500) stocks traded in the United States major exchanges, then finalize the composition of the portfolio and establish the re-balancing rules moving forward.
A Few More Components...
One of the topics I have mentioned a few times over the course of the VSS articles has been constraint - as in, the number of holdings that can be included in a portfolio. Based on the broker service one uses, there may be specific optimal numbers available - for example, on Motif Investing, 30 holdings is the most that can be included in any specific "Motif", while on Folio Investing, a "Folio" can include up to 100 holdings. I use both services and each has upsides and downsides.
It was not my intention at the beginning of the VSS to end up with a number of portfolio holdings to be constrained by any number less than 100; however, as it has turned out, the VSS has come in with room to spare on the Motif model.
Incidentally, I came across the below graphic the other day, and while I previously used the Zweig Screen, IBD 50 (FFTY), iShares Edge MSCI USA Momentum Factor ETF (MTUM) and Fidelity Momentum Factor ETF (FDMO), this presented a few other options that I looked at.
Out of the above, I found four additional holdings that met the selection criteria and will be considered for final inclusion:
Centene Corporation (CNC) {sourced from Guggenheim S&P 500 Pure Growth ETF (RPG)}
Kulicke and Soffa Industries, Inc. (KLIC) {sourced from Guggenheim S&P SmallCap 600 Pure Growth ETF (RZG)}
TRI Pointe Group, Inc. (TPH) {sourced from Guggenheim S&P MidCap 400 Pure Growth ETF (RFG)}
Walker & Dunlop, Inc. (WD) {RZG}
VSS original 22 components:
El Paso Electric Company (EE) {Tiingo}
Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. (PAA) {Tiingo}
Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. (RCL) {Tiingo}
Westlake Chemical Partners LP (WLKP) {Tiingo}

DAQO New Energy Corp. (DQ) {IBD 50}
Kraton Corporation (KRA) {IBD 50}

Consolidated Edison, Inc. (ED) {MTUM/FDMO}
Marathon Petroleum Corporation (MPC) {MTUM/FDMO}
PBF Energy Inc. (PBF) {MTUM/FDMO}
Back Testing vs. Rest of the Universe
There are 7,419 possible components of the universe of USA stocks, and when screened by the VSS 4 hurdles - PEG Ratio of less than 2, Price to Book of less than 3, Price to Sales of less than 3, and Price to Free Cash Flow of less than 15 - this number is narrowed down to 191. Removing components of the S&P 500 (back tested previously here) or of the VSS Portfolio itself left 144 individual stocks.
It was my original intention to find some novel way to break these 144 up into more easily manageable numbers, but every method I tried came up with at least one super-large jumbled group and maybe a few other smaller more refined groupings. So I went ahead and attempted the VSS vs. All of Them At Once.
Unfortunately, I ran into one technical hurdle - the tool I use for back testing, Portfolio Visualizer, limits the number of absolute holdings per test to 150 - so there was no way to actually do it the exact way I wanted to so I had to go through a few iterations which I will detail below.
The above is broken down as follows:
Portfolio 1: The VSS 22 as originally constructed.
Portfolio 2: The Rest-of-Universe of VSS passing stocks (excluding S&P 500 and VSS 22) missing the final 16 holdings of the RoU that exceeded the 150 available slots in Portfolio Visualizer.
Portfolio 3: The VSS 22 removing DAL, GM, TM, and CMCSA and replacing with CNC, KLIC, TPH and WD.
Portfolio 4: The entire Rest of Universe of VSS passing stocks in its entirety
Portfolio 4 was run by itself, but on the graph would be between the green and red lines representing Portfolio 2 and the SPY, closer to the red though.
Again, Portfolio 4 is not here, but its stand-in performed just slightly worse in both time periods.
Something I had not utilized before - the ability to see the portfolio income from dividends and disbursements. This will come up again later. Unfortunately, the income for the SPY is not included but should be around $180 per year (based on today's price/dividend per share). Portfolio 1 slightly outperforms in this regard and Portfolio 3 slightly underperforms relative to the SPY.
This second run was broken down as follows:
Portfolio 1 : The VSS 22 as originally constructed.
Portfolio 2: The Rest of Universe of VSS passing stocks (excluding S&P 500 and VSS 22) minus the last 16 + the VSS 22 original + CNC, KLIC, TPH, WD.
Portfolio 3: The VSS 22 removing Delta Airlines, General Motors, Toyota Motors and Comcast Cable and replacing with CNC, KLIC, TPH and WD.
I think this second exercise serves as a good example of the mechanics of the portfolio efficient frontier, at least in relation to the gross number of holdings. Adding in the VSS 22/22 alternative to the 144-16 does increase the portfolio return by about 3% but still fails to match the return of the SPY.
22, 22, or 26?
As I previously mentioned, I am hesitant on DAL, GM, TM, and CMCSA. There are drawbacks to removing all 4 - they do have the highest dividend yields within the portfolio - however, I also fear the risk that automaker, airline, and cable company exposure brings to the portfolio as a whole.
I think the cable industry is in a secular decline. I think the automotive industry has headwinds that could come sooner rather than later - rising oil prices and a consumer economic downturn - and I think that airlines would have the exact same headwinds faced by the automotive industry.
What separates the VSS from my Pretty 30 Portfolio, however, is one certain big thing - the Pretty 30 is primarily geared to be a buy-and-hold forever strategy, whereas the VSS is literally a more short-to-intermediate term strategy, only married to any one component so long as it meets the metric criteria and maintains membership in one of the selection universes (Zweig, FFTY, MTUM, FDMO, RPZ, RPG, RFG, Tiingo).
DAL, GM, TM and CMCSA made it in because they had been added to my universe of coverage for future consideration of the merits of their investment thesis - and ended up fitting a portfolio model that was not in existence at the time of their inclusion.
And even if I was wrong about my primary concerns with DAL, GM, TM and CMCSA - none of the 4 were a part of any of the recognized momentum or growth portfolios, unlike AFL or ESRX - which could have a drag effect on the portfolio.
Now it is time to look at all three back-testing scenarios - With or without DAL, GM, TM and CMCSA.
This run was broken down as follows:
Portfolio 1: CNC, KLIC, TPH, WD
Portfolio 2: DAL, GM, TM, CMCSA
Portfolio 3: DAL, GM, TM, CMCSA, CNC, KLIC, TPH, WD
So looking at since January 1, 2017, the newer cohort of CNC, KLIC, TPH and WD absolutely demolish DAL, GM, TM and CMCSA even taking into account dividend re-investments.
What would be the effect on the entirety of the VSS over the same period?
This run was broken down as follows:
Portfolio 1: VSS 22 Portfolio w/ CNC, KLIC, TPH, WD.
Portfolio 2: VSS 22 Portfolio w/ DAL, GM, TM, CMCSA.
Portfolio 3: VSS 26 Portfolio w/ DAL, GM, TM, CMCSA, CNC, KLIC, TPH, WD.
Both tests prove out that DAL, GM, TM and CMCSA would be a drag on performance vs. the cohorts derived purely from Growth/Momentum universes.
So CNC, KLIC, TPH and WD have won out and are now officially in the VSS Portfolio. I hesitate to officially designate it the "VSS 22" as it would probably be very soon that the number increases or decreases due to some unforeseen circumstance.
On To Deployment
Now that the VSS has been fully constructed and tested, it is time to set the portfolio balancing and sell rules moving forward.
Depending on the nature of the brokerage account used, some of these will be easier than others to actually put in place or may require manual tweaking on the part of the person running the portfolio.
As I have mentioned several times, I use both Motif and Folio and both have features which I like and dislike. On Folio, it is possible to use various settings to ensure that dividends are reinvested, that allocations into the portfolio are automatically distributed to bring the portfolio back to target weightings, and other really cool features that are not as easily done on Motif.
The flip side is that by using Motif I can create a public "motif" of the Value SuperScreen and persons wishing to invest in the same portfolio can do so. Purchasers would still have the final say in composition - for example, someone prefers to have all 26 rather than leaving out DAL, GM, TM and CMCSA - portfolio weighting and re-balancing.
One thing that I can do on Folio which I cannot do on Motif is if a component of the VSS falls out of the portfolio - but I do not necessarily want to sell it, take AFL for instance which still is a part of my accumulate-and-never-sell portfolio - I can simply move it from one folio to another without a sell transaction. That is not possible on Motif.
Absolute Sell Rule: A holding that no longer meets all 4 of the compositional hurdles.
Conditional Sell Rule: A value drop of more than 7% from entry point. The sharp eyed out there might say "KLIC dropped 7% on Friday!" and, indeed, this is correct. If that drop were to repeat next Friday or any other day for any holding of the portfolio, they will be reviewed for immediate removal.
The VSS components will be analyzed to ensure continued passing of the VSS SuperScreen on a monthly basis, and re-balancing of the portfolio to ensure a target balance as near to equal weighting as possible will be made at least quarterly but no more than once per month.
As much back-testing as can be done has been done at this point. I have reached the phase that only a live-action acid test on the portfolio can bring about tangible results.
To demonstrate the viability of the portfolio, I have created a public motif on Motif Investing for the Value SuperScreen. There is a small royalty ($1 per purchase or re-balance) that is paid to the creator of a motif if they have chosen to join the royalty program, which I have. Full Disclosure - because Motif limits the minimum investment into a motif at $300, I will be accumulating most of my VSS holdings via Folio (no minimum transaction limit) just as I do now with the Pretty 30 Portfolio.
For persons who are using a tax-advantaged account such as an IRA, caution is encouraged as there are components of all 3 of my public motifs that are K-1 producing investment vehicles. It is easy to exclude those holdings when making a motif purchase. For more information on such instruments and how they may impact a tax-advantaged account, I suggest reading this excellent article "MLPs And K-1s, And UBTI, Oh My!" and consulting with a tax professional.
Now the hardest part for me in the analysis of any strategy - waiting and watching.
Disclosure: I am/we are long EE,PAA,RCL,WLKP,CBAN,DQ,KRA,MU,AFL,ESRX,IX,MATX,TOL,DFS,DXC,ED,MPC,PBF,CNC,KLIC,TPH,WD,SPY,FFTY. I wrote this article myself, and it expresses my own opinions.

text: Vivo has added a new colour variant to its V7+ smartphone lineup with the launch of V7+ Infinite Red Limited Edition. The company has collaborated with fashion designer Manish Malhotra to design the new variant of the Vivo V7+. The Vivo V7+ Infinite Red Limited Edition has been priced at Rs 22,990 and will be available via Amazon and offline stores across the country. This new variant marks the entry of the fourth colour variant and first Limited Edition model to the Vivo V7+. The Vivo V7+ Infinite Red Limited Edition variant has a glossy red finish on the back with a floral heart-shaped motif and Manish Malhotra moniker. The handset comes preloaded with special Manish Malhotra wallpaper and theme. The front side and the specifications of the device are same as the original variant. The Vivo V7+ was launched in September last year in three colour options - Champagne Gold, Matte Black, and Energetic Blue. For the specifications, the Vivo V7+ is a selfie-focused flagship smartphone that sports a 5.99-inch HD (720x1440) IPS display with an 18:9 aspect ratio. It features a metal unibody and support for dual SIM cards. The smartphone is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 450 SoC coupled with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of inbuilt storage, which can be further expanded via microSD card (up to 256GB). The handset comes with a 24-megapixel front camera with a f aperture and an LED flash. There is a 16-megapixel rear camera on the device with f aperture and features such as Ultra HD mode, PPT mode, and Time-Lapse among others. Commenting on the launch of Vivo V7+ Infinite Red Limited Edition, Kenn Zeng, CMO, Vivo India, said, "With the launch of V7+ Manish Malhotra Limited edition, we are providing an opportunity for consumers to express their love in a more elegant and captivating manner." "I am happy to collaborate with Vivo and present the V7+. We have created a phone that symbolises the spirit of youth and infinite love," Manish Malhotra said at the launch.

I'm Ed Smith, a Tracy dog bite lawyer. Dogs are considered close companions to those who own and love them. In recent studies by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), caring for a dog has been found to have increased exercise levels and decrease stress. However, a man's best friend can sometimes bite, and result in serious injuries to those affected. With the prevalence of dog bites throughout California, insurance companies are also seeing an increase in dog bite injury claims. When faced with such injuries, it is important to understand what rights you have and what damages you are entitled to when submitting a claim for your injuries.
When it comes to dog bite injuries, national statistics can be alarming. Studies by the CDC have found that:
- Households with two or more dogs are five times more likely to be bitten compared to those living without dogs in their home
- Over 50 percent of dog bites occur at home with dogs that are familiar with the victims
- Adults are less likely to be bitten by a dog compared to young children
- Dog bites among adults occur more frequently in men rather than women
Preventing Dog Bites
Roughly one in five people bitten by a dog require medical treatment. Reducing the risk of a dog bite is critical in preventing yourself from becoming a statistic. Follow these safety tips to ensure the safety of yourself and your loved ones:
- Avoid approaching an unfamiliar dog
- Do not disrupt a dog while it is sleeping, eating or tending to puppies
- Do not run from a dog
- Do not make loud noises or panic in front of a dog
- Do not encourage your dog to play in an aggressive manner
- Request permission first prior to petting someone else's dog
- Do not allow a small child to play with a dog while unsupervised
- Curl into a ball, tuck in your head and place your hands over your neck and ears in the event of a dog knocking you over
Which Dog Breeds Are Likely to Bite?
Every dog has the potential to bite and even attack others they may know. Research has shown that certain dog breeds are more likely to exhibit aggressive behavior in comparison to others. A higher dog bite rate of injury has been found in the following breeds:
- Alaskan Malamute
- Bullmastiff
- Chow Chow
- Dogo Argentino
- German Shepherd
- Great Dane
- Pit Bull
- Rottweiler
- Siberian Husky
Types of Dog Bite Injuries
While dog bites usually affect the upper and lower extremities, they may also injure the torso, neck, face and eyes. Facial injuries caused by dog bites are usually the most difficult for specialists to treat and can leave victims with lasting emotional repercussions. Following are other types of serious injuries associated with dog bites:
- Avulsions
- Bone Fractures
- Crush Injury
- Loss of Tissue
- Amputation
- Nerve Damage
- Puncture Wounds
- Facial Lacerations
- Scarring
Who Pays in a Dog Bite Injury Claim?
Dog bite injuries are usually covered by liability insurance, either through the home owner's policy or rental policy of the property owners. However, the amount of compensation offered by the insurer for the injury varies among insurance policies. It is also interesting to note that some policies exclude certain dog breeds.
Disfigurement in a Dog Bite Claim
In some cases, people may develop keloid scarring after a dog bite incident. This type of scar is quite visible due to excessive scar tissue growth and often requires treatment by specialists to reduce its appearance. Although keloids are not necessarily harmful to one's well-being, cosmetic concerns may arise for those who have suffered this type of trauma. An individual who has been left with scarring or other unsightly marks after a dog bite may be able to recover compensation for the humiliation or embarrassment related to the disfigurement and cosmetic surgery costs.
How a Dog Bite Attorney Can Help
Dog bites can result in serious injuries. Under state law, dog owners and anyone in charge of caring for a dog (excluding police or military dogs within their duty), are responsible for making sure that their dog does not bite and cause personal injury to other individuals. When these parties breach their duty of care, they may be held responsible for damages incurred like medical bills, lost wages and other related expenses. If this has happened to you or a loved one, it is crucial to contact an experienced dog bite attorney in Tracy. By having a lawyer by your side, you can be assured that your claim will be investigated thoroughly to obtain a fair outcome on your behalf.

I'm Ed Smith, a Tracy dog bite lawyer. The consequences of dog bite injuries are endless.

MLS 2017 scores, results: Atlanta's new star, undefeated Timbers, and best of Week 3
Meet the newest star striker in MLS
You probably hadn't heard of Atlanta's young Venezuelan striker, Josef Martinez, before the season. But it is time to know this 23-year-old's name. The short, pacey striker has been tearing it up this campaign, scoring five goals in the team's first three matches.
After going scoreless in the opener, he had a hat-trick against Minnesota and then two more in the 4-0 win over Chicago. This kid understands the game well, knows when to make his runs and has been lethal in front of goal.

McCain praises himself as a maverick who bucks his party, the democrats, and the "Washington" establishment even though he has been a part of the Republican and Washington establishment for over two decades. While his Maverick title may have made sense in 2000, in the last eight years, McCain has not only been a loyal member of the Bush Republican party, but in many way he defined it. In his acceptance speech for his party nomination for president of the United States he spoke openly of his experiences during Vietnam to highlight how he realized how is maverick tendencies had got him in trouble. Yet this is the very quality he seeks to demonstrate to the American people as necessary to bring "real change" to Washington.
It appears that the the McCain strategy is that Americans should vote for him because we can trust him because he represents "real" change. He, a Washington insider for over 20 years, makes his platform on virtually all of the same policies that Republican's have run on for decades and claims that he and his party can reform Washington from the people who created a mess in Washington - which is those very same people and those very same policies.
For the past six months McCain's campaign has been harping on the lack of experience as the reason why Obama is unqualified to be president. Yet McCain decided to pick a running mate with little to no experience. His campaign has pointed out that Obama had no executive experience and highlighted the almost two years Palin has as a Governor. Some Republicans have even stated she has more executive experience than Biden as he has only served in the Senate, overlooking the fact that this would mean she also has more experience than McCain, who has also only held office in the Senate. According to Palin and the McCain campaign they are going to change Washington, yet she is unwilling or unable to participate in an interview and discuss exactly what her and McCain's plans are for the country beyond generic rhetoric.
The biggest contradiction, as it appeared to me during his speech, was John McCain's accusation of Democrats as the "me first, country second crowd". Yet at the same time he asks for more tax cuts, despite a large national debt and an overstrecthed military, among other economic issues (and the argument for tax cuts is not based on economics but on fairness). According to an analysis by the non-partisan Tax Policy Center, which analysed both Obama's and McCain's tax proposals, McCain's tax proposal leaves little relief for working class Americans in terms of after tax income compared to those in the highest marginal incomes.
A majority of the money that would be spent on the tax cuts (around 51%) would go to those in the $65,000 to $139,000 income range. However, the primary benefactors of after tax income increases will be the upper middle class and the upper class - the top one fifth would get the largest percentage increase in income at over 6% and the top one percent would get nearly a 10% increase, while those in the lowest income range would recieve a less than 1% increase in after tax income and the next two income brackets recieve around a 3% increase respectively. To put this in perpsective, according the U.S Census Bureau the current income quintiles (fifths) range as follows: Botttom 1/5th $0-$20,300, 2/5th $20,300-$39,100, 3/5 $39,100-$62,000, 4/5th $62,000-$100,000, top 5/5th $100,000 and over, top 5% (top 1/20th) $177,000 and over.
The Tax Policy Center fairly points out that neither candidates plan would create significant increases in economic growth without either spending cuts or, more suprisingly, tax increases (probably assuming greater government expenditures and a lower deficit level). What appears as a contradiction to me is the idea that those who benefit the most from our system of government and society would claim to put the country first, but then demand that they pay less for the benefits they have recieved (and a lowering of their tax burden corresponds to an increased tax burden on the lower and middle classes which are the backbone of both the workforce and the military).
Much of my criticism may be unfair and the result of personal bias, but if McCain and Palin would put out some specific and concete policy porposals rather than running on slogans and rhetoric intended to inflame passions (it inflames as much passion on the left as it does the right, so the benefit of their strategy may be dubious) it would be possible to make a fairer assesment of what a McCain-Palin administration would be like and their campaign would not seem so full of contradictions.

Republican Contradictions
1 comment:
One would think that with the failed economic policies of this administration, Republicans would embrace Obama's plan. Does being a conservative hinder moving toward such a place? It amazes me that those who think Bush failed miserably here, still support McCain/Palin. Are Wall Street's financial crises even on their radar?

In the past few weeks, we definitely felt the high degrees outside. I think it is fair to be said that summer is already here. I have always loved the vintage style, but I have also a deep passion about the street style, too. So, I was thinking why not combining both styles in today's outfit.
This white street style crop top is one of my favorite pieces at the moment. I paired it with these mom jeans with a side stripe, which has some vintage vibes. To finish my whole look up, I accessorize it with my new "Peaches" sunglasses and this adorable mini vintage backpack. The most interesting thing is that you can actually wear it in two different ways: as a backpack or as a belt bag. I truly can say that this is the most comfortable outfit that I've come up with, recently.
