The autumnal chill is set to settle in soon enough and when it does it's unassuming, little homes like this one come into their own. A cosy conglomeration of timber, exposed brick and dark slate flooring warding off any chance of seasonal affective disorder with a flood of natural light from clerestory windows and (we think the very underrated) strategically positioned skylights. All in all one beautiful little refuge from the world and the elements.

Recent Trends in Japanese Foreign-Exchange Margin Trading

1 28-E-3 Recent Trends in Japanese Foreign-Exchange Tai Terada, Naoto Higashio, Jun Iwasaki Foreign Exchange Operations Financial Markets Department September 28 Foreign-exchange margin trading 1 by individual investors has become common in Japan during the last several years. This paper uses available data to review recent trends in Japanese foreign-exchange margin trading. It finds that turmoil in international financial markets, triggered by the subprime debacle since August 27, resulted in a decline in outstanding positions for foreign-exchange margin trading. There was nonetheless a steady increase in account numbers and trading volumes. Since August 27, trading approaches and currency selection have also changed. For example, leverage has declined, dollar/yen turnover ratios have increased, and there have been shifts to high-yield currencies. 1. Preface Only recently has foreign-exchange margin trading attracted the interest of individual investors in Japan. That popularity has grown substantially within the last several years. In July 25, the Tokyo Financial Exchange began listing Exchange Forex Market Contracts. 2 Meanwhile, margin brokers reduced trading commissions, and the spread of Internet trading 3 helped to improve convenience. All of the above changes supported the increase in trading volumes. Individual investors seeking new investment opportunities also supported the expansion in foreign-exchange margin trading. One of the functions of the Financial Markets Department at the Bank of Japan is to monitor and analyze domestic and foreign financial markets in order to contribute to the appropriate administration of monetary policy. In this paper, we examine Japanese foreign-exchange margin trading, which is increasingly attracting attention in international circles for its growing influence on foreign exchange markets. This paper attempts to summarize recent trends in Japanese foreign-exchange margin trading volume trends Among individual Japanese investors, foreignexchange margin trading has established itself as one of the investment vehicles for foreign-currencydenominated assets. (For a discussion of other foreign investments by individual Japanese investors, see the BOX on page 2). For example, the number of accounts has doubled over the last year in spite of the turmoil in financial markets that began last summer. On the other hand, the amount of margin money per account has declined, possibly reflecting an increase in participants, including investors with smaller accounts, who are attracted by declines in trading commissions (Figure 1). 1,2 1, Figure 1: Numbers of accounts (thousands) 1,6 Number of accounts 1,4 opened Of which, number of accounts actually trading money per actually trading account (right scale) (thousands yen per account) 2Q 3Q 4Q 1Q 2Q 3Q 4Q 1Q 3, 2,5 2, 1,5 1, Note: Total OTC and exchange trading.

2 Likewise, a review of quarterly trading volumes for foreign-exchange margin trading indicates that the market has more than quadrupled from just over 5 trillion yen during the first quarter of 26 to 23 trillion yen during the first quarter of 28 (Figure 2). Figure 2: Japanese foreign-exchange margin (trillion yen) trading volume Exchange trading OTC trading 1Q 2Q 3Q 4Q 1Q 2Q 3Q 4Q 1Q Note: Total buying and selling transactions reported by FFAJ members (securities companies, futures companies etc.) Source: FFAJ Other than foreign-exchange margin trading, individual Japanese investors use several tools to invest in foreign-currency-denominated assets. Those are foreign- currency-denominated investment trusts, investments in bond placements and other foreign securities and foreign currency deposits. Among them, investments in foreign- currency-denominated investment trusts have enjoyed a significant acceleration in growth since 22. Nonetheless, in the latter half of 27, outstanding balances posted a slight decline (Box Figure 1). Comparing the size of each foreign-currency- denominated asset class as of the end of March 28, on a stock basis, foreign-exchange margin trading had an outstanding balance (gross positions) of 3.1 trillion yen. This was significantly smaller than the balance on foreign-currency-denominated investment trusts (32.1 trillion yen), according to the Investment Trusts Association, Japan. It is also smaller than outstanding household outward investment in securities (12.2 trillion yen) and foreign currency deposits (4.8 trillion yen) in the Flow of Funds Accounts (Bank of Japan). However, unlike other foreign investments, it is not unusual for foreign-exchange margin trading to see multiple trades during a single day, and indeed the high frequency of trading is one of its distinguishing features. Measuring sizes on a flow basis, foreign-exchange While direct comparisons are difficult, 5 the volume of foreign-exchange margin trading is equivalent to about 1% of total yen spot trading, according to global statistics kept by the BIS (as in April 27). 6 This data indicates that individual Japanese investors are becoming important participants in the foreignexchange market, joining domestic and foreign institutional investors, importers, exporters and hedge funds (Figure 3). [BOX] Investments in foreign-currency-denominated assets by individual Japanese investors: Comparison of foreign-currency-denominated investment trust and foreign-exchange margin trading margin trading had a trading volume of trillion yen in FY 27 (from April 27 to March 28; figures from FFAJ; aggregate of OTC and exchange trading).

Meanwhile, foreign-exchange margin trading has a relatively large impact on shortterm market movements and market liquidity due to its trading flow.

3 3. Distinguishing features of trading and investment approaches To identify the basic distinguishing features of Japanese foreign-exchange margin trading, we looked at the positions of foreign-exchange margin traders on the Tokyo Financial Exchange (TFX) and non- commercial, non-reportable investor positions on the IMM, a division of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. The latter are considered to be the positions taken by some hedge funds and other short-term wholesale investors. Comparing the positions of both players, we identified the following distinctive features of Japanese foreign-exchange margin trading. (1) primarily takes the form of yen-shorts and foreign currency-longs Looking at the trends in Japanese margin trading positions from a slightly long-term perspective, one can see that they change according to market environments, but primarily take the form of selling yen and buying foreign currency. For example, in the dollar/yen market, short-term wholesale investors have had positions that are either dollar-long or yen-long, depending upon changes in the market. At the same time, positions for Japanese foreign-exchange margin trading have basically always been dollar-long (yen-short) even when the dollar/yen rate fell below 1 yen in March 28 (Figure 4). 7 Figure 4: Japanese FX margin trading and IMM short-term investors net positions (dollar/yen) USD long JPY long (x 1, contracts) (yen/dollar) IMM positions trading positions Dollar/yen (right scale) Period: July 1, 26- August 15, 28 Jul-6 Jan-7 Jul-7 Jan-8 Jul-8 Notes: Net positions = long positions - short positions. For Japanese margin trading, positions on Tokyo Financial Exchange (TFX) trading are used. For IMM short-term trading, positions of weekly totals for non-commercial, non-reportable investors are used. Sources: TFX, Commodity Futures Commission (CFTC), Active attempts by individual Japanese investors to use foreign-exchange margin trading to earn profits on interest rate differentials (the carry ) are said to be behind this selling yen and buying foreign currency feature. In other words, in foreign-exchange margin trading, taking long positions in relatively high-yield currencies results in daily additions to earnings from the carry (swap points). Individual Japanese investors try to earn these profits by going short in yen, which is a low-interest rate currency, and simultaneously going long in high-yield currencies (can be referred to as carry trades 8 ). (2) Investors primarily take positions against short-term market directions From a short-term perspective on the positions in Japanese foreign-exchange margin trading and the positions of short-term wholesale investors, the latter generally align their positions with short-term market directions, while the former tends to build contrary positions that go against short-term market directions as long as the amount of fluctuation does not exceed a certain level (Figure 5). 9 Figure 5: Change in net positions for Japanese margin traders and IMM short-term investors, and their relationship to dollar/yen rate Weekly change in dollar/yen market (yen/dollar) Japanese margin positions IMM non-commercial, non-reportable positions Week of March 11, 28 Week of August 14, 27 * * Weekly change in degree of (x 1, contracts) dollar-long/yen-short positions Notes: Weekly data (period: July 11, 26-August 12, 28) See Note 9 for entries marked with * Sources: TFX, CFTC, Bloomberg While Japanese individual investors are basically trying to earn profits on interest rate differentials, when the market goes up (weaker yen, stronger foreign currencies), they tend to lock in profits from the appreciation of the foreign currency with reducing positions in preparation for future price declines. 3
4 Conversely, when the market is in decline (stronger yen, weaker foreign currencies), they tend to increase their long foreign currency positions as they consider that the potential for losses from future market declines has been reduced. In addition, as will be discussed below, recently there has been an increase in trading that seeks capital gains, including taking short positions on the US dollar. Even in this trading for capital gains, retail players appear to primarily take contrary positions, buying into declines and selling into gains, unless there is wide divergence from the range initially anticipated. This feature of foreign- exchange margin trading makes it a factor in establishing a certain limit on market fluctuations as long as the change in market levels is not too abrupt. 4. Recent developments and changes Having discussed the basic features of this segment of the market, we now turn to developments in foreignexchange margin trading since the start of global financial market turmoil last summer. (1) Changes that took place around August 27 Accumulation and unwinding of yen-short /foreign currency-long positions During 27, and particularly in July and early August, Japanese margin trading saw a surge in carry trades and a sharp increase in long positions in US dollars and other currencies (short in yen). However, when the short-term money markets were shaken by the subprime problems through the middle of August Long positions Short positions Figure 6: Total positions (exchange trading base) (trillion yen).1 Yen/nominal effective exchange rate (right scale) (2).2 Jan-7 Apr-7 Jul-7 Oct-7 Jan-8 Apr-8 Jul-8 Note: Yen/nominal effective exchange rate calculated by JP Morgan Sources: TFX, Bloomberg (1) Euro/yen Yen appreciating US dollar/yen NZ dollar/yen Aus dollar/yen British pound/yen and the reverberations expanded to international financial markets, the yen turned upwards on the foreign exchange market, which resulted in a significant unwinding of positions. Of particular note is August 16, the date on which the dollar/yen rate plummeted through 115 yen. Large numbers of foreign-exchange margin positions were liquidated under automatic loss cutting rules. 1 The closure of long dollar/yen positions during the decline had an impact on market trends and is viewed as a factor in accelerating the appreciation of the yen during this period (Figure 6-(1)). 11 Decline in leverage 12 The higher the leverage (ratio of open positions to margin money) is, the greater the potential is for changes to be accelerated, for example, by automatic loss cutting when there are significant movements in the market. Estimates indicate that the average leverage at the third quarter of 27 was noticeably lower than the second quarter of 27 (Figure 7). Presumably, this was because the automatic loss cutting rules described above came into play in August 27, closing out highly-leveraged positions (Multiple) Figure 7: Average leverage Source: FFAJ Aggregate of OTC and exchange trading Exchange trading OTC trading (2) Changes since August 27 Changes in dollar/yen trading: Increase in short positions and higher turnover ratios Looking at developments in Japanese retail margin trading since August 27, one of the major characteristics has been the increase in dollar-short positions since March 28 (Figure 6-(2)). In addition, turnover ratios (i.e., trading volume divided by outstanding positions) have also increased, suggesting 5.7 1Q 2Q 3Q 4Q 1Q
5 more short-term trading (Figure 8). Behind this are the lower costs for taking dollar-short positions due to a contraction of the interest rate differentials, which can also be observed in the decline in the carry vs. volatility index (Figure 8). Meanwhile, the increased volatility in the market has led to an increase in short-term trading targeted to earn capital gains. This occurred as investors sold dollars at the peak and then bought them back at cheaper prices thereafter. Another point quite often made with respect to these trading trends is that declines in trading commissions have contributed to reducing the cost of short-term trading. Figure 8: Turnover ratio and carry vs. volatility index (US dollar/yen) (Turnovers/day) Turnover ratio Carry vs. volatility index (right scale) 1Q 2Q 3Q 4Q 1Q Notes: Turnover ratio = Average daily trading volume (OTC trading) Outstanding positions (total of long and short as of end of period) Carry vs. volatility index = 3-month LIBOR interest-rate spread 3-month implied volatility Sources: FFAJ, Bloomberg Shift out of US dollars in favor of high-yield currencies There have also been changes since August 27 in the selection of currencies for margin trading. Successive policy rate cuts in the United States have significantly narrowed the Japan-US interest-rate spread and prompted a shift to high-yield currencies that offer higher earnings from interest rate spreads. One example can be seen from the positions in the New Zealand dollar vs. the yen. With an official cash rate of 8% (as of August 19, 28), New Zealand was one of the highest of the major currencies, and between March and August 28, there was a significant increase in long New Zealand dollar positions against yen (Figure 9) Figure 9: Net position trend (by currency pair) Net long Net short (trillion yen) Jan-7 Apr-7 Jul-7 Oct-7 Jan-8 Apr-8 Jul-8 Sources: TFX, Bloomberg 5. Conclusions NZ dollar/yen US dollar/yen Foreign-exchange margin trading, which is primarily a vehicle for individual Japanese investors, has an increasing presence in foreign exchange markets and trends within the segment help drive market movements. Looking at overall trends in foreign- exchange margin trading, trading features and approaches have changed in response to the changes in international financial markets since August of last year. Points to watch with respect to foreign-exchange margin trading and its impact on foreign exchange markets include: (1) changes in the investment approaches used in foreign-exchange margin trading; (2) changes in leverage; and (3) changes in currency selection. (In particular, the presence of Japanese foreign-exchange margin trading cannot be ignored for relatively less traded currencies that do not have the same scale of trading as the US dollar or Euro [Figure 1]).

6 1 Foreign-exchange margin trading is a currency trade in which margin money is deposited as security with a broker and trades are settled "on the margin" (the difference in prices). This form of trading first expanded with the 1998 amendments to the Foreign Exchange and Foreign Trade Control Act. In July 25 it was brought under the Financial Futures Act. 2 When investors engage in foreign-exchange margin trading, they may either trade on the exchange through a margin broker (exchange trading) or trade directly with a margin broker (OTC trading) (see the figure below). Individual investor broker (Exchange trading) Exchange broker Financial institution Financial institution (OTC trading) Source: TFX 3 Investors primarily engage in margin trading through Internet and telephone accounts. According to data released by the Financial Futures Association of Japan (FFAJ), the share of accounts using the Internet for transactions (number of accounts actually used for trading during the period) has risen from 87.9% (second quarter of 26) to 97.4% (first quarter of 28). During this period, the number of Internet accounts increased 232.2%, while the number of telephone accounts declined 35.%. 4 Investors who engage in foreign-exchange margin trading are exposed to foreign-exchange fluctuation risk. This paper does not recommend foreign-exchange margin trading, nor does it recommend any specific investment techniques or approaches. 5 Some margin brokers offset purchase orders and sales orders from individual investors who are their clients and take only the remainder to the foreign exchange market for trading with financial institutions etc. It is not, therefore, the case that all foreignexchange margin trading takes place on the foreign exchange market. 6 Every three years, the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) coordinates a global central bank survey of foreign exchange and derivatives market activity on behalf of the Markets Committee and the Committee on the Global Financial System. The objective of the survey is to provide comprehensive and internationally consistent information on turnover and amounts of contracts outstanding in these markets. The exercise also serves as a benchmark for the semiannual OTC derivatives market statistics, which are limited to banks and dealers in the most important financial centers. In April 27, central banks and monetary authorities from 54 countries and jurisdictions collected data on turnover in traditional foreign exchange markets (those for spot, outright forwards and swaps) and in the OTC currency and interest rate derivatives markets (available from the BIS website: The global yen spot trading volumes used in this paper are the yen spot trading volumes against all non-yen currencies as tabulated by the BIS. 7 In August 28, dollar/yen positions in Japanese foreign exchange margin trading temporarily showed slight dollar-shorts/ yen-longs on a net basis on several occasions. However, when other currencies are added in, the trend continues to be in favor of foreign currency longs. 8 As an indicator that shows the attractiveness of carry (interestrate spread) trading, one may, for example, use the "carry vs. Foreign exchange market volatility index" which is derived by dividing the interest-rate spread by the market volatility (this is referred to in this document [Figure 8]). The higher this index, the greater the interest-rate spread compared to market volatility and the more attractive carry transactions are. Conversely, the lower this figure, the greater the volatility compared to the interest-rate spread (i.e., potential for capital losses) and the less attractive carry transactions are. 9 When the dollar/yen market shifted sharply towards a weaker dollar and stronger yen during the weeks of August 14, 27 and March 11, 28, dollar-long positions contracted due to automatic loss cutting rules (see Note 1). 1 An outline of the position management mechanisms used by margin brokers in foreign-exchange margin trading is as following. The margin broker marks the client's position to market, and if the margin money is below the required amount, a margin call is made to inform the investor that he/she must either deposit the shortfall or settle the position. If the position has a large loss or the amount of shortfall is large, an automatic liquidation of positions is conducted (a long position is sold and a short position bought; automatic loss cutting ). The level of margin money at which automatic loss cutting takes place is set by each margin broker. As one example of automatic loss cutting, consider an investor who is long 1 dollar/yen contract (1, dollars), which is purchased for a unit price of 123. yen, with leverage of 1x and a margin money requirement of 123, yen. If the automatic loss cutting level is 7%, then when unrealized losses reach 7% of the deposited margin money (86,1 yen), a counter-trade is executed (1, dollars in dollars sold) and 36,9 yen in funds remain in the investor's account. Note that the loss cutting level in this example is yen ((1.23 million yen - 86,1 yen) / 1,). 11 Daily position data is based on the data published on foreign-exchange margin trading at the Tokyo Financial Exchange (TFX). Looking at Japanese foreign-exchange margin trading as a whole, trading on the TFX is relatively small compared to trading on the OTC (Figure 2), but our market contacts suggest that TFX trading data basically tracks the overall trends in margin trading. 12 Foreign-exchange margin trading enables the investor to invest in foreign-exchange worth several times the margin money. This multiple is called the "leverage." The level of leverage actually available in actual trading can range from a few fold to more than 1-fold, depending upon the margin broker. 13 When the New Zealand dollar market declined during the middle of August 28, automatic loss cutting etc. resulted in a contraction in NZ dollar-long positions.

The latest fall in employment suggests that Britain's jobs boom may finally be coming to an end, the Resolution Foundation said, in response to the latest labour market data.
After a remarkable jobs boom dating back to early 2012, employment has plateaued at close to a record high of 75 per cent since June 2017. The employment rate has fallen for the past two successive quarters – the first sustained fall since March 2013.
The total number of hours worked has also fallen by 0.6 per cent, or 5.9 million hours, on the quarter. This, combined with the economy growing over the same period, suggests that productivity may be finally starting to strengthen.
Britain's pay squeeze continued – with real regular pay growth falling by 0.4 per cent. The pay squeeze is set to deepen towards the end of 2017 before easing at the start of next year.
Stephen Clarke, Economic Analyst at the Resolution Foundation, said, "Britain's remarkable jobs boom looks like it may have finally reached the end of the road, with employment falling slightly since June of this year.
"This still leaves Britain with one of the highest employment rates in Europe, though still some way behind countries like Germany, the Netherlands and Sweden.
"We have also seen a fall in the total number of hours worked, the silver lining of which is that it suggests productivity growth may finally be strengthening.
"Britain's equally remarkable pay squeeze will continue to bite in the run-up to Christmas, with wage growth for 2018 expected to be anaemic at best."

With WomanCode, holistic health coach Alisa Vitti shows women how to maintain health and vitality with a food-based program to rebalance their hormones.
Alisa Vitti found herself suffering through the symptoms of polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), and was able to heal herself through food and lifestyle changes. Relieved and reborn, she made it her mission to empower other women to be able to do the same.
Whether you are suffering from irregular periods, fertility issues, depression, or lack of sex drive, Alisa Vitti says that meds and anti-depressants aren't the only solutions. Groundbreaking and informative, WomanCode educates women about hormone health in a way that's relevant and easy to understand. And the five-step protocol can markedly improve health and overall quality of life.
Bestselling author and women's health expert Christiane Northrup, who has called WomanCode the "Our Bodies, Ourselves" of this generation, provides an insightful foreword.

Another month of 2017 has zoomed on by, and we have so enjoyed welcoming many new faces to Anchor's Rest. As our Anchor's Rest family grows, and new faces arrive to enjoy the wonder and charm of our incredible city, it's a true privilege for us to host such great guests.
As part of our commitment towards giving our guests the very best experience possible, we're continually looking for ways to improve your stay. Notably, however, we must always do this while working towards minimising our environmental impact, and ensuring that we're doing everything we can to contribute towards positive change. That's why we have, over the past five years, installed two heat pumps for water heating in our bathrooms, as this actively reduces energy consumption and makes sure you'll always have hot water on hand. Our team also utilises the services of a local BBBEE recycling company, so – for a guesthouse of our size – we produce very little waste. If you'd like to know more about how we do this, ask Peter to fill you in next time you visit us!
Recently, Umhlanga Tourism profiled our establishment, showcasing not only our #1 status on TripAdvisor, but also learning more about how we do things, our way, at Anchor's Rest.Read more from Umhlanga Tourism, and us, here.
As Umhlanga's number 1 B&B/Inn in Umhlanga (thanks to you!), we love connecting with our guests online. You can find us on Facebook, or leave a review on TripAdvisor here. We appreciate every review, and enjoy staying in touch with you, even long after you've returned home again.
We hope to see you soon, at Anchor's Rest,

Technical Debt in Large Systems: Understanding the Cost of Software Complexity by Daniel J. Sturtevant
Many modern systems are so large that no one truly understands how they work. Because these systems exceed the bounds of human understanding, different design teams must work on separate chunks, glue their work together, and hope that the whole thing behaves as expected. In this process, high-level architectural design patterns (such as hierarchies, modules, and abstraction layers) play an important role. By keeping complexity under control, they give systems the ability to scale, make them more able to evolve, and reduce the likelihood of unexpected side effects or integration problems.

When I think tuna salad, I think delicious. Then I think mayo. SO MUCH MAYO.
When I think tuna noodle casserole, I think loads of cheese, mayo and condensed mushroom soup. Then I think modified food starch, MSG and soy protein concentrate. Oh ya know, ingredients I'd prefer not to eat with a spoon.
So you can imagine my glee when I found this little gem in the back of the pantry next to an unopened box of whole-wheat shells. Hmmmmm. What to do, what to do.
I've been trying to make a dent in all the random things I have laying around the pantry, from cans of beans and bags of lentils to boxes of pasta. When I found the can of soup and the shells, I instantly thought of making a mushroom soup based sauce and calling it a day. Then I found the two cans of tuna and it was basically like being asked by the tuna noodle gods to make tuna noodle casserole. I knew there were frozen peas in the freezer and a sad bunch of kale dying to be included in all the fun, too.
This isn't your usual super unhealthy tuna noodle casserole loaded with mayonnaise and condensed soup. I don't do condensed soup. Oh no. Even though this version is much healthier than the original, it really doesn't taste like it. It's light, rich, hearty and comforting all in one bite. Plus, it's incredibly filling from the fiber in the pasta and peas and the protein in the tuna. I mean it's not like that stopped me from eating a fourth of the pan in one sitting in less than five minute….but whatever. This version uses whole-wheat shells, natural mushroom soup without scary ingredients, a bit of cheese and of course, the queen of greens– kale. Toss a handful of dark leafy greens in a casserole of comfort food and BAM! Call it healthy.
I really wanted to sprinkle breadcrumbs on top but I never ever buy bread crumbs. I usually just toast a piece or two of bread and then grind it up in the food processor to make homemade bread crumbs. This time I wanted something with even more crunch, so I ended up using a whole grain Wasa cracker. It worked really well and ended up being about 1/4 cup of "breadcrumbs." Feel free to improvise and make your own bread crumbs with cereal, crackers, bread or whatever you fancy!
You can totally eat this in your skinny jeans and have a big fat piece of dark chocolate afterwards.

Corporate Privacy Policy Changes during PRISM and the Rise of Surveillance Capitalism
Kumar, Priya
Kumar, P. (2017). Corporate Privacy Policy Changes during PRISM and the Rise of Surveillance Capitalism. Media And Communication, 5(1), 63. doi:10.17645/mac.v5i1.813
MetadataShow full item record
Disclosure of the NSA's PRISM program demonstrated that Internet companies have become prime targets of government surveillance. But what role do companies themselves play in putting users' privacy at risk? By comparing the changes in the privacy policies of ten companies—the nine in PRISM plus Twitter—I seek to understand how users' privacy shifted. Specifically, I study how company practices surrounding the life cycle of user information (e.g. collection, use, sharing, and retention) shifted between the times when companies joined PRISM and when PRISM news broke. A qualitative analysis of the changes in the privacy policies suggests that company disclosure of tracking for advertising purposes increased. I draw on business scholar Shoshana Zuboff's conceptualization of "surveillance capitalism" and legal scholar Joel Reidenberg's "transparent citizen" to explain the implications such changes hold for users' privacy. These findings underscore why public debates about post-Snowden privacy rights cannot ignore the role that companies play in legitimizing surveillance activities under the auspices of creating market value.

Basic Trope: An actor who genuinely likes Show Business, but has become jaded and cynical about it.
- Straight: Bob, because he never got the lines or roles that he felt he deserved, has embittered into a Deadpan Snarker about his job.
- Exaggerated: Whenever he is on set, Bob is seen cursing out his workmates, drinking, gambling, acting up during filming, and behaving so poorly that it's amazing that he hasn't been fired yet.
- Downplayed: It's clear from his mannerisms that Bob doesn't like his acting job, but he never complains about it.
- Justified:
- Bob is a constant victim of Executive Meddling and an obnoxious and demanding boss who never gives him any good roles despite his clear talent and experience. However, he likes acting too much to quit, and takes his job too seriously to enjoy a bad movie, turning him jaded.
- Bob is expected to be spotless when off-set, which invades his personal life and places unrealistic demands on him, stressing him into bitterness.
- Inverted:
- Bob always gets good parts, seems to be a Nice Guy, and is outwardly cheerful and enthusiatic about his job both on and off set, but secretly hates every moment of it.
- Bob enjoys his work as an actor, but doesn't care for the fame and is rather awkward at public events.
- Subverted: While Bob seems gruff, nasty, and sarcastic, it turns out that he really does enjoy his job. That's just his personality.
- Doubly Subverted: That is, until he is forced to join or signs up for the wrong project, which changes him into a true cynic when he sees how bad film-making can be.
- Parodied: Whenever he is off the job, Bob is seen getting wasted in bars, awkwardly hitting on women, and saying unflattering things about his coworkers and director. On set, he plays a squeaky-clean Friend to All Children in a show that Tastes Like Diabetes.
- Zig-Zagged: Bob, despite a promising start to his film career, ends up in a terrible role that defines him for the next decade or so, and by this time he has become utterly jaded, sarcastic, and mean to everyone around him while on the job. A later role redeems him to a degree and he softens, but the bitter feelings over his Old Shame never completely go away.
- Averted: Bob never mentions what he thinks of his acting job, to complain or otherwise.
- Enforced: The director deliberately treats an actor poorly because he feels that actors who are treated well become overly demanding and obnoxious.
- Lampshaded: "There goes another one. I'll bet he thinks he's cut out for True Art and will end up working on B-movies instead."
- Invoked: Bob is given a series of bad projects to prepare him for a role that calls for an embittered actor as a main character.
- Exploited: A rival film company offers Bob a better deal and fairer treatment, causing him to work up the nerve to quit and work for the new studio instead.
- Defied: Bob's director, on seeing his skill, gives him a steady stream of good jobs to keep him from becoming bitter over the lack of decent parts.
- Discussed:Bob: "This movie is garbage, the director hates my guts, my lines are ridiculous, I can do better work, I'm only in it for the paycheck, and my coworkers are idiots.
Alice: Then why don't you leave?
Bob: What? And give up show business?
- Conversed: "Why don't they hire actors who really like their jobs? Wouldn't the ole soft shoe be hard to work with?" "They must like it enough to stay and not get fired, but hate it enough to complain."
- Implied: In one scene, Bob is seen walking into a film studio with an expectant grin on his face. Next scene, he's sitting in a bar with a cup of beer, obviously depressed.
- Deconstructed: Bob wanted to be an actor because he genuinely enjoys the moviemaking experience. However, when he keeps getting terrible projects that erode his self-esteem and that he feels are beneath his potential, he begins to dislike his job. As a result, after trying and failing to negotiate better jobs, he starts publicly arguing with the director, consistently turns up late for filming, and becomes an embarrassment to the studio. They fire him.
- Bob's friends tire of him constantly Wangsting about his job which is glamorous in comparison to theirs and severely chew him out for it.
- Reconstructed: Although Bob's behavior is insulting and occasionally antagonizes his boss and the other actors, he never crosses the line - deep inside he genuinely loves acting and does care for and respect his costars. In turn, despite Bob's attitude he's the best at what he does and his boss keeps him on the project.
- Played For Laughs: Bob joins a support group for depressed actors who can never get good roles.
- Played For Drama: Initially hopeful, Bob becomes increasingly cynical about moviemaking to the point that he only bothers to show up because he's paid, and ends up barely stopping himself from quitting out of despair when his dreams of stardom fail to materialize and he realizes that he's been hopelessly typecasted.
- Intended Audience Reaction: Bob's story is told to show the dark side of show business and its effect on people.
Just go on back to Hates the Job, Loves the Limelight, nothing to see here, you dirtbags...

To the editors: Automotive emission-control devices are intended to reduce the amounts of nitrogen oxides, hydrocarbons, and carbon monoxide in the exhaust. Unfortunately, while the amounts of these pollutants are reduced, the amounts of SO3 and H2SO4 are increased. Gasoline contains about 0.03% sulfur. Uncontrolled gas engines emit this as SO2 but catalyst-equipped cars oxidize it further to SO3, which readily combines with moisture to yield H2SO4. The relative amounts of SO3 and H2SO4 emitted per mile by various engines are as follows (1): gas engine, no catalyst, no air pump: 1; gas engine, oxidizing catalyst, no air pump: 50;
