EPR Stock: This 6.8% Yielding Monthly Dividend Stock Returned 1,492% Since IPO
Delivering Both Income and Growth
For the most part, monthly dividend stocks are known as income-generating investments. But, with the right company, investors might be able to lock in some serious capital gains too.
Case in point: EPR Properties (NYSE:EPR) is a real estate investment trust (REIT) that pays monthly dividends. But, for investors who got into this stock early, the total return would likely be much more substantial than those dividends payments.
You see, EPR Properties went public in November 1997. Assuming automatic dividend reinvestment, EPR stock has delivered lifetime total shareholder returns of 1,492% by the end of the third quarter of 2017. In comparison, the MSCI U.S. REIT Index returned 462% during this period, while the Russell 1000 Index returned 306%. In other words, this real estate company has drastically outperformed the benchmark indices. (Source: "About EPR," EPR Properties, last accessed January 10, 2018.)

Of course, past performance does not guarantee future results. But, for investors of EPR stock, there's one thing they can definitely look forward to: a steadily increasing stream of dividends. Let me explain.
EPR Properties represents a unique investment opportunity in the REIT world. Most REITs are either highly diversified or highly specialized. EPR, on the other hand, can offer investors the benefits of both: it maintains a specialized orientation complemented by diversification across and within segments.
Right now, the company's portfolio consists of 392 locations in three main segments: entertainment, recreation, and education. Entertainment is currently the biggest segment, responsible for generating 46% of the company's annualized net operating income. Recreation accounted for 31% and education accounted for 22%, while the remaining one percent came from its "other" segment.
The key here is that the company's properties, such as megaplex theaters and ski resorts, are built to provide an experience. And, as we move from the agrarian economy, the industrial economy, and the most recent service economy to an era of the experience economy, these venues are expected to get a lot more visitors.
In fact, EPR already boasts industry-leading occupancy rates. As of September 30, 2017, properties in the company's entertainment and recreation segments were 100% leased, while those in the education segment were 98% leased. (Source: "EPR Properties Reports Third Quarter 2017 Results," EPR Properties, November 8, 2017.)
A solid business has allowed EPR Properties to return a significant amount of cash to shareholders. In 2010, the company paid total dividends of $2.60 per share. Today, EPR is paying monthly dividends of $0.34 per share, or an annual amount of $4.08 per share–an increase of 57%. (Source: "Dividends," EPR Properties, last accessed January 10, 2018.)
At the current price, EPR stock offers an attractive annual yield of 6.8%.
Moreover, the company's financials are growing at an impressive pace. In the third quarter of 2017, EPR Properties generated $151.4 million in revenue, representing a 21% increase year-over-year. Adjusted funds from operations, which is a critical measure of a REIT's performance, came in at $93.3 million, up 18.4% from the year-ago period.
For a company that's willing to return cash to shareholders, a growing business will likely translate to higher dividend payments in the future. That's why, for investors of EPR stock, the best could be yet to come.

So, the minute I clapped eyes on this bag (oh, about five and a half years ago) I wanted it more than I'd ever wanted anything in my life...
Obviously at the tender age of 20 - who am I kidding, even at the slightly riper age of 26 - I don't have the dough for a Balenciaga, but thankfully, the lovely people at Lush came up with 'their own version' (read total rip-off) which some amazing people bought me for my twenty-first.
It went everywhere with me... even to the fancy-dress party I'd just been to above, where I was inexplicably dressed as a Guns 'n' Roses groupie. After reading how Mary-Kate's was stained with red wine, Marlborough Red burns and the general markings of a good night out, I became a little devil-may-care with its welfare, and it bears the scars today.
When the picture of Mary-Kate popped up on Olsens Anonymous last week, it made me dig out the little charmer, and vow to start taking it places again. It deserves to be seen. Now I just need that amazing neon pink nail varnish I've been coveting for years - any suggestions?

Welcome to our home office + the JNP studio space! This space has been a labor of love. It used to be a weird green color, dark curtains, and truly didn't serve a purpose. After purchasing a corner desk when we first moved in, I quickly realized that I didn't like the look of the desk or the room as a whole, period. So! I got a serge of creativity over Christmas last year to paint the entire room a light gray. After much debate, I settled on Sherwin Williams Grayish and painted while jamming out to the Pentatonix Christmas album.
I'll be honest, I'm pleased with the color, but the gray is a little more on the purple spectrum if you ask me. Certain light makes it look more purple than others, so if I had a do-over I'd opt for a little more blue gray over purple gray. All in all, the paint color serves it's purpose in making the room more feminine and light!
Walking by this space each day warms my heart because I feel that it is such a true representation of me, my brand, and my style. Each piece took some time to find, but it all came together and I love the result! The most frequently asked question I get is where I got the gallery wall frames from. Y'all, Walmart for the win! I found the frames for $1-$3 in all sorts of colors, spray painted them gold, and there you have it. The frames with the prints were mostly from Hobby Lobby and Michaels!
This room was an act of love and patience, and was truly very affordable! I've learned that DIY has its time and its place, and can really save the $$$ when it comes to simple projects, like a gallery wall. My goal was to have client meetings on my cute little couch, and to work from my desk every day. Real life doesn't necessarily look like that very often, but when I do work from my desk I feel accomplished ;) maybe one day I'll make it a habit!

Hugh K. Browning House
Buildings: Sarasota History
The house and garage at 2088 Hawthorne Street were built in 1926 by Hugh K. Browning III as designed by Alex Browning, one of the original Scott colonists and Sarasota's "first" architect. The two story house is stucco over hollow clay tile and rests on a brick curtain wall. The twenty-nine windows are wood-frame and with few minor exceptions are unaltered. The roofline is complex with seven steeply-pitched gables on cross gables at asymmetrical angles and levels from each elevation.
The house and garage are of the English Cottage Style, or more specifically, Norman Revival Style of domestic architecture. The style developed in America in the early 20th century, in the teens elsewhere, and in the 1920s in Florida. The style was the result of a national nostalgia movement that was philosophically based on comfort and utility. The style was the result of a national nostalgia movement that was philosophically based on comfort and utility. The movement was a reaction against Victorian excess and heaviness and a return to nature and craftsmanship. The movement materialized due to the growth and suburbanization and of the American middle class.
Romantic styles, contrasting with utilitarian and bungalow styles of the movement included Colonial Revival Styles (Dutch, Spanish, French) and English styles. English styles occurred in three basic forms: the Cottage, Tudor Revival and the English Country House. The English styles were all "picturesque", yet quite different in detail.
It is interesting to note that architect Alex Browning, who apprenticed in Glasgow, created a sample assortment of the Romantic styles for three of his children, all within one block of each other.
The authors of The Old House Journal, describe the English Cottage Style:
"The English Cottage Style is meant to be quaint and charming. Often of stone, stucco, or brick construction, the cottage is dominated by its roofline, which frequently has soft, flowing curves that recall the thatch roofs of the originals in the English countyside...there are usually large expanses of wall space, pierced by relatively few windows. There's very little overhang to the roofs."
"The English Cottage house is described with words like 'charming,' and 'quaint,' and by emotional association that embodies all of the rustic honesty and simplicity of the English yeoman. It is a truly 'homely' dwelling, suggesting hearth, family and all the domestic virtues."
"The English Cottage looks as if it grew organically suggesting that the owner build the house himself using stones that he tore from the land with his own two hands."
Historical Information: The house and garage were built in 1926 by owner and builder Hugh Kerr Browning III, son of Alex Browning, one of the original Scottish colonists and Sarasota's "first architect." The land was a gift from Hugh's brother John Bowie who had subdivided LaLinda Terrace into 36 lots.
The house was the first for Hugh and his bride Cora, who was the sister of Ludwig Walpole of Ludwig Walpole Insurance Company, and the Walpole Drugstore. Hugh passed away just six years later, in 1933. In 1946, the property was sold by Browning's widow who had remarried. Ms. Cora Durant purchased it, fondly referred to it as, "The House of Seven Gables."
The Browning family was quite well-known in Sarasota's history, having arrived in 1885 with the Ormiston Colony of Scottish settlers. John B., the patriarch, and Jane, of Paisley, Scotland, migrated to America with their four children. The Brownings are particularly important in Sarasota history because they are the only Scottish colonists to have remained in the area to participate in Sarasota's development. The memoirs of Alex Browning are the only major research source on the lives of the colonists and continue to shed light on those very critical years in Sarasota's development.
Alex Browning was a prolific architect, having designed many residences and larger building, such as the Frances Carlton Apartments. He was the co-architect on the Tampa Bay Hotel in 1890. Alex's brother, Hugh K. II remained in Sarasota until 1916 and was the building contractor on the Watrous Hotel (where Café Epicure stands today) and several fine homes on Gulfstream Avenue (now replaced with condominiums). He returned to Sarasota in 1927 and constructed the power plant and movie studio at Sun City, north of Bradenton. Hugh K. II, also served on the City Council for a number of years and eventually returned to New Jersey where he passed away in 1937.

I decided my deal is, if I post some kind of art here I also get to post a mysterious panel from the comic. What secrets does that word bubble contain? No one will ever know.
In conjunction with comic stuff and to keep me from going crazy I am dipping my toe into making a sculpt of said comic's protagonist. So far I am finding that it is very very hard and very very educational. (I am getting lots of help from the very patient sculptor at work.) I kind of wish I'd done this before I started drawing because it would be soooo good for keeping things on model. It's a bit terrifying trying to decode my flat, cheat-laden drawings into 3D. We'll see how much further I get before I give up in frustration.

As expected four Directors have resigned from the club and Mike Ashley has appointed two new Directors to the Newcastle United Board.
Freddy Shepherd will remain as Chairman of the club.
Freddy Shepherd – Remains Chairman
Deputy chairman Douglas Hall, Bruce Shepherd, Allison Antonopoulos and Tim Revill have all resigned, while Chris Mort and Steve Hayward have been appointed in their place. Mort and Hayward are two of Mike Ashley's people.
Current chairman Freddy Shepherd will remain in place – as indicated by a statement released to the Stock Exchange by the club this afternoon – which read as follows:
"Following the recommended cash offer by St James Holdings Limited being declared unconditional in all respects on 15 June 2007, Newcastle United Plc announces the resignation of Bruce Shepherd, Allison Antonopoulos, Tim Revill and Douglas Hall from the board of directors and the appointment of Chris Mort and Steve Hayward to the board of directors; all such changes to have immediate effect.
"[Chairman] Freddy Shepherd remains in his current role."
So Freddy will remain in place to offer stability at the club and owner Mike Ashley – as expected – has moved in two of his own people. The above statement has also just been posted on the official Newcastle United web site.
Hopefully this will now offer some Boardroom stability at the club and Sam Allardyce can be kept up to date – told what Ashley's ambitions are for next season – and offered all the support he needs to bring in new players.
Now we would expect some statement from Ashley on his ambitions for the club and some communication to the supporters of the club.
Comments welcome.
10 comments so far
It has also been reported that he has hit the magical 90% barrier in terms of share ownership, thus enabling him to purchase the club outright and delist from the stock exchange.
I'm with you on this one, surely now is the time for him to come out and share his visions for the club rather than have us try to second guess them.
Chris Mort is a businessman with a pedigree not like the failures who have just resigned.
Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer is a leading international law firm.
Chris Mort is co-head of the leisure sector group, overseeing our relationship with companies in the gaming, holidays, hotels, pubs and sports sectors.
Chris's recent work has included:
· advising Mike Ashley on his acquisition of Newcastle United PLC;
· advising CVC on its acquisition of Formula One Administration, the motor racing commercial rights company led by Bernie Ecclestone;
· advising on various London listings (such as BSkyB, Halfords, Sports Direct and Umbro);
· advising EMI on its issues of convertible bonds and high yield notes to raise more than US$500m, and its recent merger discussions;
· advising major investment banks, such as Citigroup, Goldman Sachs and Merrill Lynch, on underwriting share issues and mergers & acquisitions;
· advising AMP on the demerger and London listing of its northern hemisphere operations, in the form of Henderson PLC;
· advising on the privatisation, by public share offer, of Telkom, the South African public telecommunications operator which raised Rand 4.3bn for the South African government; and
· advising on the non-US aspects of an offer of shares worth US$22bn by Hewlett-Packard, involving 147 jurisdictions.
Not sure who Steve Hayward is but you can be sure he's of equal ability.
Yes he works for a law firm but I think from his background he's a bit more than just a lawyer. If he'd been in the negotiations and looked at the Owen and Martins get-out clauses would they be in there?
Anyway, the new board of directors are there to review the set-up at NUFC and I would expect Steve Hayward to be some kind of accountant. Hopefully at some point Ashley will appoint a Chief Executive to actually run the business on a day-to-day basis; someone like Peter Kenyon at Chelski or David Gill at Man U. and we can say goodbye to FFS.
The following has just bee released by Sky Sports
Mort, a partner at international law firm Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer, will lead a strategic review of the club and will take leave from Freshfields, where he co-heads the firm's leisure sector group.
He advised Ashley on his bid to take over at St James' Park.
"I am delighted to take on this role. Newcastle United is a fantastic football club with a wonderful set of supporters," Mort said. "My first task is to lead a review of all aspects of the club and I look forward to starting that work immediately."
Hayward has experience in the sport and leisure fields, including spells with Universal/Paramount, Ashley's Sports Direct International and Coca-Cola, where he managed the soft drinks giant's UK sponsorship programme, which saw him work with all the major participants in English football.
Sounds to me like some people are echoing comments like when John Hall arrived. "He has done this he has done that. Wow look what he did with the Metro Centre." Do some of these comments ring true in comparrison to what we read about MA and his team. My only hope is that MA can actually go all the way. Not as JH did and passed on to his son. I also find it amasing how suddenly some people are experts in the field of business and commerce and know all about MA and his workers. Let us not get carried away at present. Let us see if they produce the goods and then comment on their usefulness and expertise at running a football club. Afterall, football is different to business and with a private company we the supporters have not got a say. We can not sack the board. We can not ask MA to resign. They will take our money but rest assured they are not thinking about us. They want to make money any which way and they know we will pay at the turnstiles because we live a dream that one day NUFC will be great again. I hope we are great again, but please do not get carried away in the current hysteria. Let SA do his job and lets see if MA comes up with the goods. Lets give them say 12 months and then i think we will have earned the right to say wether they are good or not.

KARACHI: Describing peace in Karachi as vital for country's development and stability, President Mamnoon Hussain on Wednesday called for taking the ongoing operation in the provincial metropolis to its logical conclusion, without any concession for criminals.
The president was talking to Director General Rangers, Maj. General Bilal Akbar, who called on him here at the President's Camp Office.
The president said an indiscriminate action against criminals was the only way to give sense of security to the citizen of Karachi.
He lauded the services of Rangers for restoration of peace in the city and said the nation was of proud of the officers and jawans of security forces and law enforcing agencies, who have rendered invaluable sacrifices for the establishment of peace.
The president said the objective of achieving economic stability was only possible through complete elimination of terrorists and unrest, for which coordination between the people and law enforcing institutions was also essential.
On this occasion, Maj. General Bilal Akbar briefed the President about the law and order situation in various parts of Karachi and actions being taken against criminal elements.

I have to admit, I too had a grandmother (or in my case a godmother) teach me to knit when I was a child of 5 or 6 years. I remember sitting next to her pastel jordan almonds after preschool trying to knit – continental I believe. It was difficult, and I lost interest quickly. How is anyone supposed to pull a string forward with a pointed stick? It seemed illogical. I also remember struggling with drawing hair while at her house. How were you supposed to represent the hair on the back of the head without covering the face? I settled on drawing it up over the head, like everyone had just gotten a thousand-volt shock. How funny that must have looked! 3-D to 2-D struggles. Come to think of it, I only had that problem with drawing hair…
At any rate, my mom was not inclined to force me into recreational activities, so my knitting came to a quick end. Mom learned to knit when she was a teenager, but she wasn't knitting when I was young. She sewed much more. I regularly went to fabric shops with her, which is a habit we have yet to grow out of. After I went to college she revived her interest in knitting. We began visiting yarn shops in addition to the fabric store.
I've been happy to join her on these trips, and I've watched her do more and more with her knitting. I must say, watching a parent develop a skill from the perspective of adulthood is a unique and delightful thing. I don't know that kids end up being able to express that adequately to their parents when it happens. They're supposed to be the ones impressed with us, so it's hard to know how to show we're impressed with them.
I really looked at knitting as something mom did, maybe because I knew I had already tried it and didn't take to it.
I liked looking at the yarns. So much color and texture. My mom has an ability to look at something and see the potential it has. I look at things and see them for what they are right now. Yarn hanks can be tricky that way. Stunning in their own right, but sometimes very different from the fabric you end up with.
It was spring break and mom was in town. (I teach now so I've never really left the academic calendar.) I got an itch to make something with my hands. Why not have my mom teach me to knit? As you might expect from a serious knitter, she had an extra pair of needles on hand and taught me the basics before we went yarn shopping the next day. Suddenly, that was a very different trip. What if I looked stupid because I was an adult and didn't know what I was doing yet? Ha! No such thing, but I had that worry at the time. (And I'm sure I'll have it again with something else. I really got to get over that.)
It felt good to make something. It was great to stare at beautiful yarn and see the colors develop across the needle. And the best part?! You didn't have to clean up, you could just put things away! Knitting is such a tidy craft. Over the rest of the academic year I knit a scarf and a cowl for other people. Then it was summer and there was nothing in the way of completely loosing myself in knitting.
Diversity is only threatening when you lack a sense of self.
I dove in. If I wasn't knitting I was on the internet trying to learn about knitting. I was on Ravelry like it was Facebook, and "Hot right now" was my news feed. My yarn shrine, I mean stash, was growing. I discovered knitting podcasts. I could listen to someone talk about knitting – while I was knitting. It was wonderful. And that's when it happened, I had my knitting identity crisis.
There's an aside in Stitch 'N Bitch titled, "A Field Guide to Knitters". It's a fun little account of a few types of knitters one might run into. When I first read it I had the magazine (and now internet) please-fit-me-into-a-box quiz moment. Why is there anything appealing to those quizzes anyway? I'm sure a psychologist somewhere knows. Well, I wanted to fit into a box while reading those descriptions, and when I got to the end of the list I struck out. I was a sort of blend between several. Oh well, I got what Debbie meant, and it was cute.
As I was looking for more podcasts to consume while knitting a baby blanket, I started to wonder – what am I doing? Do I even like knitted fabric in my wardrobe? What do I expect to come of this? Will everyone think I'm turning into an old lady? (I was a big weekday matinee viewer in grad school, so I feel like I've got one foot in that door already. And let me tell you, that's the way to watch movies.) I was seeing more and more of this wide world of knitting and it was freaking me out because there was a good lot of it where I didn't see myself reflected back to me. I became frustrated with everything, which didn't make any sense. Why should I feel threatened by what someone else is doing? Isn't more people doing different things good?
The trouble was, I hadn't stopped to think about what I wanted from my knitting, or how knitting was going to fit into my sense of self. I just leapt into it, and during that summer it took up most of my waking hours. Everything I came across was beginning to pile up and define me. No wonder I was feeling critical and snippy.
I had come to a place in my life where I wanted to make something with my hands. I had spent my years of education feeling guilty if I wasn't reading a physics book, and I needed something tangible. I happened to resonate with knitting. I want knitting to be a stretch. I don't want to settle into it. I don't want it to be safe. I'd rather an adventure. And for whatever reason, I feel at ease with challenging myself in this medium, and in this community. It really is a great place, and yes, the diversity does make it better!
After hearing a few podcast interviews with other knitters, I suspect my current knitting goals have more to do with being a new knitter than being a particular type of knitter. Maybe I will also crave simplicity in knitting someday, once I feel like I've explored enough.

Compensation equity between men and women is as complex a topic as it is heated.
We're not going to either wade into its complexity or approach its heat. But both aspects of the topic have been largely responsible, we assume, for the Bureau of Labor Statistics attention to it. And we have now a new report, Highlights of Women's Earnings in 2012, with data useful to our understanding of another complex topic, the donor marketplace.
The bad news in the report, as the always reliable American Consumers Newsletter points out, is that "the decades-long increase in the earnings of women who work full-time came to an end…[and] Women are joining men in the struggle to stay even."
But there is a lot of good news, at least for fundraising, in seeing what came of those decades of progress that brought women's earnings as a percent of men's, full-time wage and salary workers from approximately 62% in 1979 to 82% in 2012. Two graphs from the report illustrate.
The table shows that women have made more earnings progress through education. And we know, coincidentally, that more women than men have been enrolled in and graduating from colleges and graduate schools in recent times. With education attainment second only to age as a determining factor in giving, we have here documentation of one perspective on the increased capacity of the donor market.
With very little exception, the donor base research we have conducted for a wide variety of nonprofit organizations over the past 20+ years have shown female majorities in the donor bases or as giving decision makers.
Of the occupational groups on this graph, bachelor's degrees are required mostly among management, business, and financial occupations, professional and related occupations, and office and administrative occupations. These three categories accounted for 68.4% of women's full-time wage and salary employment in 2011 (versus 41.2% of men).
Again, the good news is that the capacity for giving among women has increased very substantially, even if it is now in stasis. This doesn't tell us either whether the disposition of women to give has changed or whether the nonprofit sector has done what it should to affect greater disposition among women to give.
It certainly doesn't tell us where any given organization stands relative to the opportunity to benefit from this greater capacity. That takes research.

We made an early start again today as it was a lovely morning and we wanted to be at Newlay Locks when they opened at 8.15 am. As we passed by Fallwood Marina we saw these historic old wooden boats, the bottom picture shows one of the Little Boats which helped at Dunkirk in 1940.
We arrived at the locks dead on 8.15 and the C & RT men were already opening up the locks and kindly assisted us down the staircase flight of 3 locks. They told June that over the weekends they can have a lot of trouble from teenagers jumping in the canal and generally making a nuisance of themselves. The water here was very clear and the lockie told us that in the next month or so it would be crystal clear.
The canal here is very pretty as it wends its way down the ever narrowing Aire valley and at Forge Staircase locks there are great views over the railway to the other side of the wooded valley. Again a C & RT man kindly helped us down the flight.
Bridge 221A is unusual in that it has a second arch well to one side. I am not sure what this would have been used for but on the other side of the bridge was the Kirkstall Brewery now used a apartments. One of the lock gates had become a very interesting garden.
The site of the old Kirkstall Power Station had this lay-bye for unloading boats which is now used as a Marina.
The approach into Leeds is very nice and you would not know you were in a city until you reach Granary Wharf as the canal is clean and the water clear. A far cry from some other entrances to cities.
We filled up with water at the point just above Office Lock and next to it is the Tower Works opened in 1864 by TW Harding making steel pins and gauges for the carding and textile industry.The distinctive Grade 11 towers were based on Italianate Renaissance structures and provided dust and smoke extraction for the factory.They were know by their Italian names of Giotto and Verona Towers.
In front of the water point below the lock is Granary Wharf and this enormous Rotunda tower of apartments.
Finally comes River Lock which marks the end of the Leeds and Liverpool Canal which was started in 1770 and completed in 1816 at a cost of £1,200.000 nearly five times the original cost. The warehouse at the side of the lock was constructed as a terminal for the canal and below the lock is the River Aire with one of the water Taxis which will take you to Clarence Dock.

|Our Lady's message given through Mirjana, Oct. 2nd 2012
Dear children, I am calling you and am coming among you because I need you. I need apostles with a pure heart. I am praying, and you should also pray, that the Holy Spirit may enable and lead you, that He may illuminate you and fill you with love and humility. Pray that He may fill you with grace and mercy. Only then will you understand me, my children. Only then will you understand my pain because of those who have not come to know the love of God. Then you will be able to help me. You will be my light-bearers of Gods love. You will illuminate the way for those who have been given eyes but do not want to see. I desire for all of my children to see my Son. I desire for all of my children to experience His Kingdom. Again I call you and implore you to pray for those whom my Son has called. Thank you.

which version of the ADOBE DNG-Converter (and which setup) do I have to use to get DNG1.2 files?
Operating system ist Windows XP.
many thanks,
which version of the ADOBE DNG-Converter (and which setup) do I have to use to get DNG1.2 files?
Operating system ist Windows XP.
many thanks,
Hi Harald,
My suggestion would be to use the latest version of the DNG converter (v6.4), and then change the compatability level in preferences. Adobe list compatability by ACR version - not DNG spec version - but I'm guessing that v1.2 would probably be 2nd or 3rd from the latest.
I'm assuming you want to stick with the older v1.2 spec for compatability with an older version of software?
Hello Colin,
I wanna use the Phase One Capture One 5.2.1 Raw Converter (which can use DNG1.2) with converted Raw-Files from my SIGMA SD14.
Hi Harold,
My suggestion would be to just test the various outputs from DNG converter 6.4 - it's all free.
Hi Colin,
whatever option I tried - I was unable to produce a DNG-File that Capture One accept as a valid RAW file. The documentation says that it accepts DNG version 1.2. Any more idea what I can try?
Hi Colin,
yes I tried also V1.1 - with and without compression, with and without mosaic - with and without embedded preview. I couldn't make Capture One identify the DNGs as a raw file. So I have to stay with the software SIGMA has programed to handle their raw-files ;-)
Thanks for your help,
Is using good old Photoshop or Photoshop Express an option?

Erwin Schulhoff (1894-1942), the German-oriented Czech composer, was one of the unfortunate who died in the concentration camps. But, as James Conlon pointed out in last night's Schulhoff Showcase at Ravinia, it wasn't his Jewish ethnicity that led to his death, it was that he held a Russian passport. Disillusioned with his era, he turned to Marxism and planned to emigrate. But the Germans rounded up anyone with a foreign passport, imprisoned them, and he was eventually deported to the Wurzburg camp, with his son, and died.
Conlon's on a mission with composers such as Hans Krasa, Schulhoff and Viktor Ullmann to show that their music has historical significance and that, had it been known and its composers not silenced, music history would have been written differently. Composers after 1945 would have known about these banned composers innovations, adopted them, and followed in their footsteps.
Since much of this music, thousands of pieces, according to Conlon, was only heard beginning in the 1970s, he may have a point. On the other hand, the early-music movement has unearthed a great deal of music by composers that other composers had no idea existed, and Mozart, Beethoven, Brahms, Debussy and the rest have yet to be dislodged from their pedestals.
Schulhoff had a strong sense of the absurd, reflecting his involvement with the Dada movement. Last night, Bassnachtigall and The Cloud Pump aired his absurdist view, with a contrabassoon singing sweetly as a nightingale and Thomas Meglioranza singing about coffee carafes, naked bodies and other such illogical topics ("Mad Libs on acid in German," as he puts it on his blog).
The piano piece Five Pictures traded in ragtime, cakewalks and foxtrots, along with a silent movement notated entirely in rests. The page was black with sixteenth-note rests, thirty-second-note rests, dotted eighths and other nonsensical rhythmic units. (Beat that, John Cage, with your mere "Tacet" in 4'33".) Philippe Bianconi gave strong-willed and punchy reading to the Joplin-esque work. The Hot Sonata for saxophone and piano put the sax in the lite, Rudy Wiedoeft mode, along with some bluesier moments. Like every German since the dawn of time who's attempted it, the jazz style came off as drippingly sleazy.
But it wasn't just small-time revolutions of putting his finger in the eye of polite society he was after, he also wrote in a neo-Classical style. The Mendelssohn String Quartet played his machine-like Second String Quartet and Hindemithian String Sextet. (The program note said that Hindemith played viola in the 1924 premiere with the Czechoslovak Quartet.) A passage with the two violas and second violin playing tremolos on the bridge and on the fingerboard had a raspy, unsettling edge.
Now, Conlon's point is that this music would have changed the course of music history had composers known about it. But while they may not have known about these composers, they certainly knew of the style. Debussy used ragtime and jazz as early as 1909, Ravel's G major Piano Concerto was written in 1929 (and Ravel actually heard Duke Ellington live, unlike Schulhoff), and Hindemith's and Les Six's music wasn't unknown. Boulez has said he can respect the "craft" of Hindemith, but little else, and has no time for Honegger. (Me, I think the Second and Third Symphonies of Honegger are tough masterpieces, and the lovely Pastorale d'ete should be programmed more often.)
Hearing unfamiliar work has a way of illuminating everything else you hear from that time, and the Schulhoff and Ullmann works Conlon's brought, and is bringing, to Ravinia help fill in the period between the wars. Would they have changed history? I don't know, but I doubt it. Composers (Messiaen, Boulez, at least, presumably others) knew works in these styles, and chose to ignore them. It wasn't ignorance, it was the selection and filtration process that all artists inevitably go through in making their art.
As George Grosz, a Dadaist and Expressionist, himself once put it, and I'm paraphrasing, "The act of art isn't saying yes; more often, I find myself saying no."

There's a new luxury brand in the kitchen, joining the Sub-Zero refrigeration and Wolf cooking lines. Cove dishwashers take clean to the extreme with 43 jets and three spray arms. Adjustable racks and tines make the appliance easy to load, and fan-assisted drying eliminates spotting. Nearly silent operation won't intrude on after-dinner conversation. And connectivity means you can even start the wash cycle—or see if it's done—via your smartphone.
As part of a brand relaunch, JennAir is introducing two new design expressions, Rise and Noir, along with three new limited-edition offerings that transform appliances into art. The industry-exclusive Cuts leather column refrigerator and freezer panels, the Smoke and Brass professional-style range, and the Burlesque columns boldly showcase creative inspiration and skillful execution for luxury tastemakers seeking a custom aesthetic edge in their home. An extension of the JennAir new column refrigerators, the Cuts leather columns, above, invite consumers and designers to embrace the highest level of sophisticated customization in kitchen design. Each Cuts leather column is swathed in seductive leather cuts, carefully sourced from high-end Italian tanneries that work with haute fashion houses, to offer a fashion-forward, beautifully crafted kitchen refrigerator. Furthering the bespoke experience, the columns can be installed with a dual-leather look, offering separate columns for refrigerator and freezers for even greater authentic, trend-forward design. The leather columns, available in late 2018, will be offered in plush, saturated hues including Croc, Cognac, Carbon, and Caviar.
The distressed steel of JennAir's custom Smoke and Brass professional-style range fuels artistry in the kitchen. The 48-inch professional-style range delivers a hand-applied finish of layers that create depth on a traditionally bright, polished surface. The range strikes an artful balance of light and dark, with two-tone accent colors applied to blasted surfaces complementing the distressed, dark range. Inspired by the desire to make a unique, ownable statement in the kitchen, no two Smoke and Brass ranges—available in late 2018—will be the same.
THG Paris, the leading French atelier for the bath has announced a collaboration with internationally recognized interior design team Gilles & Boissier. Known for their signature approach of blending elegance with creativity, Gilles & Boissier revisit the styling of a Baccarat crystal lamp they designed for the Baccarat Hotel in New York for the new THG Paris bath collection. The fixture's faceted crystal sides recall the transparency of water, while on top of the faucet's 10-sided faceted base sits a trident-shape brace reminiscent of Neptune, the Roman sea deity. The collection is available with cross or lever handles, and is offered in various configurations for basins, matching bathtub and shower systems, and a range of matching accessories. Finishes include chrome, nickel, and soft gold.
Victoria + Albert has unveiled a new category of washstand that is notable for its beautiful brass construction and gleaming polished-chrome finish. With an open design and minimalist lines, the collection was created in collaboration with Italian designers Meneghello Paolelli Associati, known for their take on refining classic designs so pieces will work equally well in modern or traditional environments. The Metallo washstands are timeless design classics, with right angle T-joints that reference traditional bathroom pipework, looking equally at home in a historic period bathroom or industrial-inspired scheme. Each washstand features a practical towel bar and a shelf for storage, finished in a tubular brass. The Metallo is available in two sizes; Metallo 114 (45-1/8" W), which is topped with a sleek Mandello 114 Solo basin, or the Metallo 100 (39-3/8" W), topped with a Victorian-inspired Lario 100 Solo basin.

She struck him hard, he could only laugh.
He killed her with his touch. Always when everyone was looking.
Laid bare, she knew she deserved him, all he stood for.
Everyone knew, he stood for her. It was always hard for her.
She was madness, she was lightness, always invisible with a smile.
They could never see her reason; her sorrow seeped into their eyes, blinding with fire fuelled by hate.
They belonged to her.
She owned them with her honesty.
She only failed because she cared.
That was the only rule - you must never care.
But she'd never been one for rules.
I dare you, she cried.
I dare you to care.
She struck him hard; he could only laugh.

A perfect flapper wedding dress replica. I don't ever want to take it off. i bought the xxs. I am 5"3 92lbs and it fit my little curves perfectly.

Found this one at www.crockpot365.blogspot.com
Crockpot Orange Chicken
1 1/2 lbs. boneless chicken cut in 2 inch chunks
1/2 cup flour
olive oil, for browning the chicken
1 T kosher salt
6 oz. (1/2 can) frozen orange juice concentrate, thawed
3 T brown sugar
1 t balsamic vinegar
3 T ketchup
Dredge chicken pieces with the flour, shake off excess. Heat olive oil in a large skillet on the stove and brown the chicken on all sides. There is no need to fully cook it, just sear it enough for the flour to stick and get a nice coating.
Put chickent pieces into slow cooker. In small bowl, combine the orange juice concentrate, brown sugar, balsamic vinegar, salt and ketchup. Taste, if you'd like the chicken to be a bit sweeter, add a touch more sugar. Pour sauce mixture evenly over the chicken, and toss gingerly to coat.
Cover and cook on low for 6 hours or on high for 3 to 4. Serve over white or brown rice.
Our Review: We did not care for this one. It was the first that I have tried that we felt was inedible. If you try it and it turns out good let me know so I can try again...maybe I did something wrong.

CO2-induced terrestrial climate feedback mechanism: From carbon sink to aerosol source and back

Feedbacks mechanisms are essential components of our climate system, as they either increase or decrease changes in climate-related quantities in the presence of external forcings. In this work, we provide the first quantitative estimate regarding the terrestrial climate feedback loop connecting the increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration, changes in gross primary production (GPP) associated with the carbon uptake, organic aerosol formation in the atmosphere, and transfer of both diffuse and global radiation. Our approach was to combine process-level understanding with comprehensive, long-term field measurement data set collected from a boreal forest site in southern Finland. Our best estimate of the gain in GPP resulting from the feedback is 1.3 (range 1.02-1.5), which is larger than the gains of the few atmospheric chemistry-climate feedbacks estimated using large-scale models. Our analysis demonstrates the power of using comprehensive field measurements in investigating the complicated couplings between the biosphere and atmosphere on one hand, and the need for complementary approaches relying on the combination of field data, satellite observations model simulations on the other hand.
