Vortex. A Workers' Compensation Exchange
Retain The Risk. Reap The Reward.
Retaining risk through high-deductible Workers' Compensation (WC) plans will lower employers' premiums. However, it doesn't end there. Financing the retained risk in a captive insurance company can double the net benefit.
Why a captive? Click to read more About Captives and the many Captive Advantages.
What is Vortex
Vortex is a Workers' Compensation risk exchange operated by Vortex Re, a North Carolina-licensed reinsurance company. Participating captive insurance companies share a primary layer of risk amongst themselves. Each captive buys reinsurance for its own risk from Vortex Re, which in turn shares its assumed risk with the pool of participants by buying reinsurance from them.
Vortex Features and Benefits
Vortex Re is a strategic tool offering two significant benefits for participants. The program provides reinsurance coverage, thus reducing loss volatility. Just as important, Vortex creates true risk distribution, allowing participating captives to receive insurance company tax treatment.
Program Year
Vortex operates on a calendar year basis, the Program Year. Annually, each captive's ultimate expected workers' comp losses (within the primary reinsured layer) are actuarially determined, forming the basis for its premium payment to Vortex Re. A single independent actuarial firm performs all valuations, ensuring a consistent and common methodology for each participant.
Risk Sharing
A participating captive receives a proportional percentage of all Vortex premiums and pool exposures. This proportion equates to the captive's individual premium ceded to the pool.
Performance Controls
Vortex employs several controls to protect captives against unexpected losses of other participants:
Captives only share risks within a narrow primary layer. Excess losses are retained by the ceding captive and are not part of the Vortex exchange.
Vortex employs an aggregate loss limit cap of 150% of expected losses. Any excess loss is retained by the ceding captive, thus limiting exposure to an adverse experience.
Vortex performs an annual premium assessment that considers past loss experience.
Qualifying For Vortex
Vortex Re anticipates that qualifying businesses:
• Currently have or will consider a high-deductible or self-insured Workers' Compensation program
• Retain at least the first $100,000 per loss occurrence
• Demonstrate financial strength and favorable cash flow
• Be committed to risk management and loss control
• Provide historical 5-year loss data and exposure data
• Show willingness to form a captive or expand the use of an existing one
Retain the Risk. Reap the Reward.

Commenting on the inquiry MP Andrew Tyrie who is also chairman of the Treasury Committee, said:
This inquiry will be wide-ranging, dealing with all the economic and financial consequences of the UK's EU membership, and the impact of departure.
The Committee's job will be to attempt to marshal the evidence on this important question into a coherent form, enabling the electorate to make a more informed decision. It welcomes evidence from all those with views and expertise.
Prime Minister David Cameron continues his attempts to renegotiate the terms of the UK's membership with the European Union, having hosted German Chancellor Angela Merkel yesterday at Chequers.

Among other things, the inquiry will specifically look at "the terms on which the UK might leave the EU, and the likelihood of it securing continued access to EU goods, services and capital markets".
Yesterday cross party pro-Exit group Leave.UK was launched, while today it was announced ex-M&S boss Lord Rose will head up a campaign to stay in the EU.

Those words echoed deliverance to many generations to come, Today Christianity is one of the largest religion in the world. Many are still finding comfort in the kind and selfless act of Jesus Christ.

As Scottish national election campaigning enters its final week, Scottish Conservative and Unionist candidate Finlay Carson issued a personal plea to voters.
Following a visit to the region by the party's former leader in Scotland, Baroness Annabel Goldie, Finlay said: "Next Thursday voters will go to the polls in the most important Scottish Parliament election since devolution.
"Here in Galloway and West Dumfries, it could not be any clearer – it's between me, Finlay Carson, who has lived and worked here my whole life, or the SNP.
"Last year's general election result showed that Labour cannot win this seat, so, particularly if you voted no to independence in 2014, then I would ask for your constituency vote to ensure that we don't have to endure a rerun of that referendum.
"I am the only candidate you can vote for who can beat the SNP.
"At that start of this election campaign, I launched my six-point plan aimed at boosting job creation and encouraging inward investment in Galloway and West Dumfries.
"This ambitious plan would see the creation of a Galloway National Park, enterprise zone status for Stranraer, more investment in our infrastructure with a particular focus on our trunk roads and rail services in Dumfries and Stranraer, as well as improvements to our mobile and internet connectivity.
"I believe these proposals would revitalise our local economy and provide our tourism sector with a much-needed boost.
"Next Thursday, you will vote for a new MSP to follow in the footsteps of Alex Fergusson, who has represented this area so tirelessly over the past 17 years.
"It would be a great honour to follow in Alex's footsteps, and I am delighted to have his backing to do so.
"It would be an enormous privilege to be elected to represent this constituency – the place where I was born and brought up, raised my family and where I run an IT business in partnership with my brother.
"It is the place I call home, and that is why I care so deeply about it's future.
"If you elect me, Finlay Carson, as your MSP next Thursday, I will fight for local services, jobs and investment and be a champion for our local communities".
Four candidates will fight it out for the Galloway and West Dumfries seat.
They are, besides Finlay, Aileen McLeod, for the SNP; Andrew Metcalf, of the Scottish Liberals; and Fiona O'Donnell, of Scottish Labour.
Polling stations open next Thursday at 7am. Check on our website for results, www.gallowaygazette.co.uk

How Well Do You Know Your Hairdresser?01:25 - Saturday 25 January 2014 - In Category Lifestyle
Is your hair at breaking point? Or are you fed up of never being treated as an individual every time you visit your hairdresser? The simple fact is that many salons treat every head of hair in the same way, writes Samantha Stewart.
But, for example, do they really believe there is only one type of relaxer or perm solution that exists on the market? I've been working alongside Richard Spencer at The Spencer Clinic for 15 years and have lost count of the many cases we receive each week concerning either severe hair breakage due to chemical over processing, or an obvious loss of hair due to a very common complaint called Tractional Alopecia
However, the main thing that most people complain about is the lack of information available to them. The black hair and beauty industry is vast, but there is no association or institute to recommend a reputable salon to those in desperate need.
By the time they find us, most of our clients are really at breaking point (in every sense). Upon their first visit, our aim is to re-educate them about their hair; advise them on the best and healthiest ways to style, relax and manage their hair according to each individual's needs.
Each time we speak to our new clients (who have come to see us because of chemical breakage problems), the majority say they never had a consultation about their hair before a chemical procedure was carried out.
A consultation is of the utmost importance, so hair type and condition can be determined, as well as the chemical history of the hair. This information should then help the hairdresser choose the correct strength of chemical to be used.
Of course, there are some truly professional hair salons out there with some amazing and talented stylists, but you must do your research.
Some Pointers:
A clever way to determine a good salon from bad is: If your hair is very weak and easily breaking, ask the salon to perform a chemical procedure. If they say 'sure, no problem', WALK OUT! If they test your hair and refuse, then you know they can be trusted. Bad salons are often managed by inexperienced hairdressers to who do not understand the extent of the damage that can be caused by chemicals.
Of course, a small amount of damage can often occur when using chemicals and styling, but this should only be limited towards the ends of the hair. It is NOT ok to suffer and put up with severely damaged hair due to professional incompetence. Why should it be acceptable to suffer with scalp burn or hair breakage? It's not.
Don't be afraid to ask how long a process will take. If you're worried or concerned, call the stylist over – don't just sit there!
Our hair is something we often take for granted until things go wrong. Therefore, in future, be kind to yourself when choosing a salon. They may end up doing something you might have to live with for a long time.

Recruitment takes up a lot of time and resources within the HR department, so much so that organizations turn to third party agencies or recruiters to claim back the time. But as those methods usually come with a hefty fee, it can be quite counterproductive.
As most of the candidate information usually sourced during the recruitment phase can already be viewed on the blockchain, there's a huge amount of the process already streamlined. Resumes will be a thing of the past and looking at grades, certificates, work history and experience will be easily verified and visible to people with direct involvement.

GUA MUSANG, June 3 2018 : Umno veteran Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah may contest the party's presidency in its upcoming polls.
Admitting that the post comes with great responsibility, Tengku Razaleigh said he needed more time to think it through before making any decision for the sake of the party following its huge loss in the recent general election.
"Losing the election does not mean that the party is weak. It is still strong and has the support from the people," he told reporters after chairing Gua Musang Umno's monthly meeting here last night.
Tengku Razaleigh, 81, who is also Gua Musang Umno chief and Member of Parliament, said what was more important was to protect Article 153 of the Federal Constitution related to the rights of the Malays.
He said the people need not to worry as Umno would be led wisely and that the voices of the Malays would continue being heard.
He also expressed hope that Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad would get the cooperation from all quarters in administering the country. – Bernama

Calling requires a Caller. God is always the caller. Like sheep who know the voice of the Shepherd, we need to know the voice of our Caller. It is the Creator, the Almighty who Calls. It is God who is already doing the work, and calls us to join Him to participate in His work in building for the Kingdom.
Calling requires a Receiver. You and I are the receiver. Again, you need to listen for yourself. It is not for someone else to tell you YOUR Calling. We listen with humble hearts. We need to be actively listening for the Caller and to be open and available to what the Caller will call us to. We participate in what God is already doing in the world.
Calling requires a Message. The message is an invitation. The message may not be what we want to hear. The message will move us into action. When we hear the message, there will be a gut feeling that moves us into action. It will still require discernment-continuous discernment- to ensure that it is indeed Jesus' voice. And while it stirs us and may even give us a feeling of inadequacy and fear, it will also give us peace. The feeling of inadequacy is not to deter us, but it does ensure that we depend on God because our calling is often a bigger than ourselves and does invite us out of our comfort zone. It will draw us into deeper relationship, trust, faith and dependent life in the Triune God.
What is God doing around you? What talents and gifts have God gifted you for service in the Kingdom? What need is in your city or your neighborhood? What are you passionate about? What verse or story in Scripture has God placed in your heart today? Sometimes our calling may be prompted by situations that upset us? What do we care about?
It's important to remember that it is not what others want for you, but what God wants for you; the distinction is important to uncover our motives and motivations because when we encounter failure, it will be the motivations and convictions (remembering it is God who Calls) that will help us through it. Talk about it with elders and people you trust.
How you live out your calling requires imagination! There is no formula. Be willing, open, and available to what God is doing, trusting in Him, and take steps by talking to others about it, taking action to test it. We may have many passions and have many ideas but we need to incarnate those passions and ideas in practical ways--take action. Remembering that it will take time so be patient and there will be risks. Pray and ask God to bless you if it indeed God's calling for you. More, remember that it is God's calling for you-you are not alone; the Holy Spirit is with you from beginning to end, and God will also bring other people along with you to support you and to encourage you. God will equip you and empower you for the task.
I get anxious when I wonder if i'm doing what God is calling me to. Am I doing what God has called me to? What if I miss my calling? I was reminded by a wise friend that our calling is one of the paradoxes of our lives. "Calling" is a military term in response to a King. Fundamentally, it is less about what you do and more importantly about our response to the One who calls. We can be called to run a company. We can also be called to clean the hallways of a school or clean the sewer pipes. Work is to glorify God and there is therefore no hierarchy of work. And if and when the King calls you to something else, we respond, we go, and we do it equally well, bringing our best tp our work, and with all our heart, mind, and soul.

The taphon (Thai: ตะโพน, pronounced [ta.pʰoːn]) is a traditional drum of Thailand. It is barrel-shaped with two heads, and is played by the hands and fingers of both hands, much like the more popular congas.
Originally called the Sa Phon, the taphon is used in the classical Thai wind-and-percussion ensemble called piphat. Moreover, it is the most commonly used drum in Thai folk music, and is performed often in Bangkok and Chiang Mai. Often used to accompany performances in Thai shrines which are meant to entertain the resident god in offering, it is considered a particularly sacred instrument in the Thai culture, and is generally kept in a higher place than other instruments. In many cases, designs are woven into the middle section of the taphon.
The taphon is very similar to the Cambodian sampho.
An example of the taphon being played: [1]

With just a year left on his contract at the end of the season and interest from Paris Saint-Germain - as well as Conte's well-documented desire to return to Italy - the hourglass appears to be running out on his time in London.
Tottenham have been handed a tough tie against last season's beaten finalists Juventus after topping a challenging group that included reigning champions Real Madrid.
Bayern MUnich will play Beşiktaş of Turkey.
The Spanish champions' director of institutional relations, Emilio Butragueno, told beIN Sports: "It could have been the final, for the power of the two clubs, but that happens in a draw - luck plays a role".
"Then when it will be the moment to play against Barcelona we will start to think of the game against Barcelona". We will see how we arrive at the games.
"I think this type of game is a good chance for every player to show the right value". "Our fans will like it after we were knocked out by Barcelona last season".
Paris Saint-Germain chairman Nasser Al-Khelaifi says that his club will relish the task of taking on Real Madrid in the last-16 stage of the Champions League. It's a handsome challenge for the club.
Who are you backing in this tie? They're a strong team. I like to win and when we lose, I'm not happy.
The Italian side will approach the tie with trepidation, having been eliminated in each of their past five European knockout ties with English teams. "We'll go into it with optimism, confidence and a huge desire to get through".
Runaway Premier League leaders Manchester City will not be losing too much sleep over the prospect of a clash with Swiss side Basel, who finished second in Manchester United's qualifying group.

"This is to recommend Weed it and Reap, who carried out gardening work on my property. The garden itself was badly overgrown, they worked very hard throughout and are also very pleasant in nature and helpful with all requests given."
"Weed it and Reap provide a weekly maintenance programme for my garden, the quality of their work is always excellent and the garden looks great all year round."
"Weed it and Reap have been contractors for Lyndhurst Parish Council for over five years and during that time have always provided a very professional and outstandingly reliable service. They have undertaken all tasks given to them in our Recreation Ground, Cemetery, Allotments and around the village for such items as public seating, paths, hedges and gates. They have undertaken hard landscaping as well as the more traditional items such as grass cutting, tree work and hedge cutting as well as maintenance work on our play equipment. We would regard them as completely trustworthy and always willing to "go that extra mile" often working on into the evening to get a job completed."
"Weed it and reap have been maintaining my large country garden for six years. During this time there has been a considerable improvement in the overall condition and quality of the garden. It's great to not have to worry about any aspects of managing the garden, I just leave it all down to them and they never disappoint.

Music Director Candidate – Amy McLennan
Piano & Violin Soloist – Marcus Scholtes
Sunday February 24, 2019, 3:00 pm

Continuing in our theme and rounding out the program, guest soloist Marcus Scholtes, accompanied by the Wind Symphony, will perform Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 3, 1st movement, and on violin, John Williams's Schindler's List.
Tickets are available at the door.

South Burnett anglers win big
FISHING: The advantage of local knowledge guided Proston's Scott Johnston to victory at the weekend, claiming the heaviest yellowbelly title at the two-day Boondooma Dam yellowbelly fishing competition.
The event attracted the largest number of anglers in its 28-year history, with 1123 entrants including 272 juniors from across the state travelling to the South Burnett to take part.
Event spokesman Terry Allwood said the number of fish caught made for a successful weekend of fishing.
"The lake fished extremely well for the 2018 event, with 278 fish going through the catch-and- release section and another 252 in the gilled-and-gutted section," he said.
Knowing the dam proved to be an advantage in the catch-and-release category for John Francis, of Kingaroy, who caught the longest native targeting Australian bass and yellowbelly with a bass measuring in at 535mm.
Chloe Manthey put in a solid effort under the guidance of her dad, Shaun Manthey, to walk away with the most fish, bass and yellowbelly, caught and released throughout the competition, with a total tally of 10 fish presented to the weigh master.
The winner of the heaviest bass section was D Rutch, of Mooloolah, with a bass of 1.370kg.
The junior champion angler for yellowbelly was Lucy Stead, of Kingaroy, with a yellowbelly of 1.8kg and the bass champion was Benson Graham, of Wallumbilla, with a bass of 1.315kg.
Profits from the event will be used to supplement fishing permit funds from the Queensland Government.
To date about 5.1 million fingerlings have been stocked into Lake Boondooma.

Recreational Fishery Survey of Sodus Bay (2008-2009)
A one year recreational fishery survey was conducted on Sodus Bay from April 1, 2008 to March 31, 2009. A roving-roving survey design was used to estimate angling effort, catch, and harvest for three fishing seasons during the 2008-09 fishing year. During a total of 231 survey days (205 daytime, 26 May-July nighttime) creel survey agents conducted 3,268 interviews, which comprised 6,973 anglers who fished 24,988 hours. The average party size was 2.1 anglers. Anglers interviewed from complete trips on average fished for 5.2 hours.
It is estimated that anglers fished Sodus Bay for approximately 59,560 angler hours from 11,410 boat trips, and 97,730 angler hours from 24,254 shore angler trips, during the daytime. Anglers fished Sodus Bay at night for approximately 1,940 angler hours from 372 boat trips, and 2,126 angler hours from 958 shore angler trips. During the survey, ice fishing was recorded as shore fishing. The majority of the daytime shore fishing effort took place during 76 days of safe ice from December 14, 2008 to March 14, 2009. Boat fishing accounted for most of the open water (April through November) fishing season. Yellow perch fishing accounted for about 17% of the total estimated daytime boat fishing effort, 74% of the daytime shore fishing effort, and nearly all of the effort in December through March. Forty two percent of the estimated daytime boat fishing effort was directed at bass, followed by fishing for anything (19%). Fishing for anything made up approximately 11% of the daytime shore effort, followed by panfish (9%). Fishing for bass accounted for 57% of the estimated nighttime boat fishing effort, followed by pike (20%), anything, and walleye (9% each). Thirty percent of the nighttime shore fishing effort was for anything, followed by bullhead (26%), and panfish (21%).
An estimated 783,290 panfish were caught from Sodus Bay for a catch rate of 4.9 fish per angler hour. Slightly less than one third, or 237,370 panfish, were harvested (1.5 per angler hour). Most of the panfish catch was yellow perch, where an estimated 619,380 were caught (3.8 per angler hour) and 192,490 were harvested (1.2 per angler hour). About two thirds of the yellow perch caught and harvested came through the ice. An estimated 75,350 warm water gamefish were caught from Sodus Bay for a catch rate of 0.47 fish per angler hour. It is estimated that only 3,260 warm water gamefish were harvested (0.02 per angler hour). Ninety two percent of the warm water gamefish catch was comprised of largemouth bass. An estimated 69,120 were caught at a rate of 0.43 per hour, only 2,430 were kept (0.02 per angler hour), and 63% of the largemouth bass released were legal sized. An estimated 106 walleye (<0.01 per angler hour) were caught, 59 (56%) were creeled and 55% of the walleye released were legal sized. Five hundred eighty northern pike and 19 walleye were caught through the ice. An estimated 10 Chinook salmon, 34 rainbow trout, and 46 brown trout were caught. All of the Chinook salmon and nearly all of the brown trout were kept. About half of the rainbow trout were released, and most of the released rainbows were legal sized.
The directed effort open water boat fishing catch rate for yellow perch was an outstanding 6.6 perch per angler hour, while the directed effort open water shore fishing catch rate for yellow perch was a similarly outstanding 7.1 perch per angler hour. The ice fishing directed effort catch rate for yellow perch was an excellent 4.4 perch per angler hour. Excellent catch rates were also observed for anglers targeting panfish, anything, gamefish, and bass. Bass anglers are taking advantage of, and generally complying with, a new off-season catch and release regulation. Angler effort targeting northern pike and walleye was comparatively low, and the directed effort catch rate of walleye was somewhat low, suggesting that despite relatively abundant populations, they are underutilized, and/or difficult to find and catch.

The month of February, as we all know, is touted as a month of love. In fact, one word that gets us loving the month of February is 'Valentine'.
With just few moments to Valentine, most of us lovers often forget the need to evaluate the health of your relationship so you get to know if it's worth dying for especially in the month of February.
READ ALSO: Female teacher found dead in room of boyfriend
Val's Day, which falls on February 14th, is a special day that gives loved ones the added opportunity to express their love to their loved ones, friends and family.
But the month of February cannot all be about the lovey-dovey of taking your 'baby' out and making sweet love. It is a month to reflect on the direction of your relationship and take some drastic steps.
This article helps you ponder on the health and direction of your relationship in the month of February.
1. How committed is your partner to the relationship?
The month of February is a special month to get you think about some key matters regarding your relationship. How committed is your partner to making your relationship last? This is a question that will help you make the best decision on whether or not to move on with the relationship. Is your partner actually prepared to invest his/her time, energy and resources to make the relationship work? These questions could help you determine the next line of action for you.
2. How insecure are you in the relationship?
Do you always think about the whereabouts of your partner, who he or she is with, how faithful they will be to you once you're both not together? If you keep wondering about these issues then you may want to reconsider the stability of your relationship. Sometimes, feeling insecure could happen but when it drags for too long then you need to reconsider the stability of your relationship in this month of February.
3. Are you still arguing, fighting each other?
Arguments and heated debates are always expected in a relationship but when these arguments are just not healthy when you or your partner keep insulting or verbally abusing you then you may want to reconsider your relationship in the month of February.
4. Do you feel okay without your partner around?
Are you the kind of partner who feels so happy and comfortable when your lover is not around, do you feel so much yourself when they leave your space? Sometimes these feelings are just indicative of the fact that you just are not attracted to your partner. Being attracted to your partner is the only step through which your relationship can balance on love and attraction. If your whole time in this relationship is a hide and seek the situation that if you feel you made a wrong decision dating them then you just have to consider moving on.
5. Do you and your partner get happy only after intimacy?
No one on Earth can make love to their partner forever. Making love is just a spice to reinvigorate your relationship but if you both get happy only during lovemaking then you need to be very careful about the health of your relationship. Intimacy is not everything that a relationship is based on so if your relationship is all into making love then think twice.

6. Do you hate to introduce your partner to friends and family?
Are you still finding it hard to introduce your lover to friends and family? Do you feel embarrassed or scared to make your love shown to all? If these questions apply to you then you may need to take a serious look at your relationship. If you fall within this line then it could be that your relationship is not a healthy one or you are just not comfortable.

In Rubicoin's latest Five Minute Read, we review Roger Lowenstein's 'Buffet: The Making of an American Capitalist'.
Roger Lowenstein is an American financial journalist and author. He has written extensively for the Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, Fortune and The Atlantic Monthly.
He is the author of six books, three of which have gone on to be New York Times best-sellers.
His first book was Buffett: The Making of an American Capitalist, a biography of investor Warren Buffett.
Roger is currently the Chairman of the Sequoia Fund, one of the most successful mutual funds in history.
Buffett: The Making of an American Capitalist
Unlike our previous reviews, Buffett: The Making of an American Capitalist is not a straight up investing book. It's not filled with great tips and tricks to discovering the next Netflix or Amazon. It doesn't even go in-depth into Buffett's method – which there have been plenty of books about. Instead, Lowenstein's biography will give you a deep insight into the mind and character of possibly the greatest investor who has ever lived.
The book traces Buffett's life from his childhood in the 1930s to his takeover of Berkshire Hathaway – and then all the way up to 1995 when it was first published. From the very start, you are invited to explore the world of a man who has time and time again defied all reason regarding his command of finance and capital allocation – a skill that is demonstrated in the below graphic (which appears on the very first page of the book).
Of course, that image fails to tell the whole story. An up-to-date version would show Berkshire Hathaway's stock price now up at $246,000 per share, and the Dow Jones barely raised off the line in comparison.
Rather than try to summarize the 400 plus page book, I thought I'd attempt to break down some of the broader themes emerge regarding Buffett's life and the image of him that you are left with at the end.
Born for Business
One of the early signs that Buffett was destined for the business world came in his senior year of high-school, when he and his friend, Donald Danly, purchased an old pinball machine for $25. Noting that Danly was able to fix the machines, Buffett came up with a business plan. He would go to the local barber and offer to install the machine and take a 50/50 split of the money.
Soon the pair had expanded to seven machines across the city, generating them about $50 a week – a fortune for the 1940s. Buffett even came up with a name for the company – the Wilson Coin Operated Machine Company. As that business was generally controlled by the mob, Buffett and Danly never alerted the barber shops to the fact that they were the ones running the show, and played the part of legmen.
Buffett recalled:
"The barbershop operators were always pushing us to put in new machines, and we'd always tell them we'd take it up with the boss."
You can see here Buffett's business savvy – not only was he learning about the power of compounded returns, but he was clever enough not to let his ego interfere with his business. The less the barbershops knew that he was in charge, the less he'd be on the hook when things went wrong.
Buffett The Student
More pertinent than anything else in this book is the idea of Buffett as a lifelong student. He is a sponge for information, constantly seeking out to better himself in any way possible. He was obsessed with the teachings of his mentor Benjamin Graham and strived to learn everything he could from the man.
At the age of 21, Buffett began investing in the same companies as Graham. His research into the companies led him to discover that Graham was chairman of the Government Employees Insurance Company, better known as GEICO. One Saturday, Buffett took a train to the GEICO offices in downtown Washington and banged on the door until a janitor let him in. Buffett asked to speak to someone who worked there and the janitor introduced him to Lorimer Davidson, who was financial vice president at the time and just happened to be in on a Saturday.
Buffett asked Davidson to explain the insurance business to him, asking everything he could about the industry and its potential going forward. Davidson was so impressed with the young Buffett, that he spent 4 hours talking to him.
This was an incredibly important event in Buffett's life. Of course, he went onto to make many billions investing in insurance companies, and in 1996 he bought GEICO outright.
His need to continue adding to this bank of knowledge persisted throughout his entire life, often to the detriment of his personal relationships. To this day, when asked about his daily routine, Buffett and his business partner Charlie Munger both admit they spend almost all their time reading.
"In my whole life, I have known no wise people [over a broad subject matter area] who didn't read all the time – none. You'd be amazed how much Warren reads – how much I read. My children laugh at me. They think I'm a book with a couple of legs sticking out." – Charlie Munger
Mr. Integrity
One of the markings of a Buffett-backed business is that they tend to have very talented, very honest people running them. It appears to be a trait that Buffett values highly in his managers and his business partners.
That probably stems somewhat from what we'll call the "Salomon Incident". With its balance sheet in tatters due to some poor investments in junk bonds, Buffett started buying up stock in the investment bank Salomon Brothers. Shortly after, the company was caught up in a bond trading scandal and was nearly forced to file for bankruptcy. In a last ditch effort to save the firm, management asked Buffett to become the chairman and lead them through the storm.
Buffett came on board and immediately brought a sense of calm to the organization. Though the company was right on the brink, Buffett's temperament eased the panic and got the company back on track. One demand Buffett made was that every employee works to build back the company's reputation.
"I want employees to ask themselves whether they are willing to have any contemplated act appear on the front page of their local paper the next day, to be read by their spouses, children, and friends…If they follow this test, they may not fear my other message to them: Lose money for the firm and I will be understanding; lose a shred of reputation for the firm, and I will be ruthless."
Before taking control, Buffett had lost one-third of his original $700 million investment in Salomon Brothers. By the time the company was sold to Travelers in 1997, it was worth $1.7 billion. The incident is a good indicator not only of how good a businessman Buffett is (as well as an investor) but also how much faith he has in the idea that you can make money honestly – a theme that is reflected throughout the book.
Should I Buy This Book?
Absolutely. This may not be an outright investing book but there is a huge amount of learnings inside. The examples I've given are a tiny representation of the both entertaining and thought-provoking anecdotes from Buffett's life.
Inside you'll also learn about his relationship with Mrs. B – an 89-year-old Russian furniture saleswoman who remains the only business partner to ever split with Buffett. You also get a glimpse into how meeting Charlie Munger completely changed the way that Buffett invested and helped shape the Berkshire Hathaway we know today.
Strangely absent from the book is the now infamous story of how Buffett almost sold his stake in Berkshire Hathaway but decided against it when Seabury Stanton offered him 1/8th of a dollar less per share. It's merely glanced over – which is odd considering it is perhaps the only time that Buffett let emotions get in the way of his business mind. It also happened just five days after the death of his father, whom Buffett was very close to.
Still, this book contains more than enough to enlighten you on the character and temperament of maybe the greatest mind of a generation. It's thoroughly enjoyable and hard to put down from start to finish.

My entirely unofficial Wednesday obs:
6:45 AM: 50°F, with fog. Need to clean off the car windows.
10:14 AM: Checked the NWS and Eastern. 65°F in the construction yard at Metropark train station.
12:00 PM: NWS calls it 71°, I'm wearing my coat, and the wind is kicking up. WTF?
1:00 PM: Here comes the rain, hard and heavy.
1:14 PM: Wow, that doughnut looks good!
1:20 PM: Is that the sun trying to come out?
8:24 PM: Way too early and too late for any good thunderstorm activity today. Besides, it's just as well; this is the line that spawned multiple long line tornadoes that killed people and decimated towns last evening.
As much as I love a good storm, you never want to see one like this.

There are many different compilers to selected from, yet initially, you have to know exactly just what an e-book Compiler does. Here is the easy description:
An digital book compiler is a software application that converts either message web pages or HTML message into a solitary executable documents or an book.
If you or somebody you employed has actually produced a file with graphics in HTML, you will need an HTML ebook Compiler. This kind of compiler needs a functioning knowledge of the HTML tag language. You could also make use of software to do this for you, such as Microsoft FrontPage or Macromedia Dreamweaver.
Just how do you pick an digital book Compiler?
There are a a great deal of ebook Compilers available on the marketplace, all with radiant sales duplicate and tekkie language. It could get really complicated and also overwhelming very quickly without some straightforward guidelines in order to help you identify which compiler is right for you.
Selecting an book Compiler relies on a variety of aspects:
1. Just how did you develop your web pages? Did you utilize HTML or PDF format? There are many more compilers available for HTML, however you can find some excellent compilers that will certainly concealed your PDF submits into an ebook.
2. Consider just how easy the program is to use and the thoroughness of the software application's instruction manual. It is absolutely required that the compiler you purchase have an training handbook, documents, or on the internet "wizards." If it doesn't, your possibilities of identifying how to appropriately make use of the program are compromised, as well as the moment needed doing so is mosting likely to be substantial. Several producers of compilers use a complimentary trial variation so you could play around with it and also see if it matches your demands. Download and install the trial version and identify that it actually does what it claims to do.
3. Safety functions. If you prepare to offer your ebook, check out the safety and security attributes of the compiler software application meticulously. Safety features must include: avoidance of the reader from changing text, access only to the pages you appoint or by going into a password, different methods of generating passwords such as safe passwords, straightforward, and also open passwords.
4. Supported scripting. Discover just what manuscripts the software supports. Scripting permits you to produce unique effects, tailor food selections, and produce and change other customer interactivity. Pick a compiler that permits you to include graphics, search home windows, hyperlinks, types, studies, etc.
5. Rates. This is a variable that is not always easy to gauge. The highest possible valued compilers are not immediately your finest choice. Pick your compiler based upon the needed requirements for your Digital book. That implies you have to understand precisely how you intend to use your E-book and also what functions you require.
Let's look at several of these factors in more information.
First of all, ensure you have the correct internet browser to run the compiler. Most of HTML compilers use Microsoft Net Explorer or Netscape. Look into the version that the compiler supports. Compilers that call for a internet browser will certainly not run on a computer system that does not have the required internet browser mounted. Nonetheless, there are e-book HTML compilers that do not need you to have any type of internet browser installed on your computer. These compilers work on any Windows system.
If you choose a compiler that needs a internet browser, check to identify that the browser is set up correctly which it is effectively set up to the specs of the compiler. Inspect to see if specific features are switched off or on, and make any modifications inning accordance with the compiler instructions.
Safety and security is an essential element of any compiler, regardless of whether you plan to market or hand out your digital book. Among the major reasons for making use of a compiler is to stop the reader from changing the components. A protected compiler permits access just to the web pages you want the user to accessibility unless they get in a proper password.
To figure out how protected an digital book HTML compiler is, open up an e-book on it. While it is open, examine the momentary directory of your computer system. This could typically be accessed by keying in C: \ Windows \ temp. If you see a bunch of documents when your book is open or running, it implies that your computer system is decompressing the secure information from your e-book before showing the ebook to the visitor. This technique is not secure! It means that anyone with the understanding of the best ways to access these momentary files could take the safe data then they could adjust your e-book to their wicked heart's desire. Keep in mind, one of the main objectives of buying and also making use of an HTML compiler is to safeguard your property.
Next off, allow's discuss passwords. When attempting to choose an digital book Compiler, take a look at the kind of passwords that the compiler sustains. Mostly all compilers use some type of password protection that guarantees that the user could only access the materials they have actually purchased from you. Nonetheless, the most effective compilers provide diverse ways to create various kinds of passwords. Pick a compiler that gives you the choices of secure, easy to use, as well as open password generation.
Another vital element when it concerns passwords is how the compiler produces them. A compiler that has interior password defense generation constructed into the software program is a lot more secure than compilers that connect to live Internet password control systems.
Discover if the compiler creates passwords online.
If it has this choice, it permits you to pick any kind of repayment processing system you want or to do the payment processing on your own.
Next off, consider the size of book the compiler supports. The very best compilers can create ebooks up to 2 GB in size without unwinding the HTML web pages or pictures to your hard disk. Usually, e-books that are 2 GB in size can conveniently sustain 6 GB of compressed information. The catch right here is that only text files will typically be compressible.
You do not desire a compiler that unwinds this amount of information when the user attempts to open your e-book. This would mean that anyone who acquires your digital book will have to await all the data to decompress prior to they can access your book right after downloading it. So seek compilers that just unwind briefly submits that are NOT HTML to the local hardisk. Non-HTML documents consist of Flash, Word, and Acrobat documents. This sort of compiler is more protected and definitely quicker.
Make certain the ebook software works with your system software. Look into what version of Windows it requires, and also see to it you have that version prior to acquiring your compiler.
Support concerns are very important. Pick a compiler that includes an installation program. This program permits your individual to pick a number of various position on their computer system to mount the digital book, to put a shortcut on their desktop computer, and to include the book, if they choose, to the Start Programs menu.
You likewise want exceptional as well as easily accessible vendor support.
Ensure you can access quick technological assistance! At three o'clock in the early morning, this element will be CRUCIAL. Also, examine to see the terms of free technological assistance offered. Limitless technical support is undoubtedly the most effective alternative.
Inspect to see if the firm that produces the compiler software program provides a solution level agreement. This contract is to assure you of their top quality reaction to your concerns or problems.
A good thing to consider is how long the compiler has actually been on the market. Generally, the variation number will give you an suggestion. The longer the program gets on the market, the greater the variation number, the much more pests have actually been worked out.
When choosing an digital book compiler, do not be swayed by amazing promises and also stunning sales copy. Do your homework initially, and afterwards think about all the above concerns and also factors before picking an digital book compiler.

*I later learned in Bryson's brilliant Down Under that rabbits are not actually native to Australia. They were introduced from Europe as a sort of a joke in the 19th centry, and due to their infamous reproductive rates, quickly multiplied in numbers. Because they have no natural predators in Australia, numbers are difficult to contain. By 1827 they were reported to be running around large estates in Tasmania in their thousands, and the release of 12 rabbits (a cross bread between wild and domestic varieties) by Thomas Austin for hunting purposes in October 1859 is believed to be the start of a similar explosion on mainland Australia. They have since become a serious mammalian pest, cause millions of dollars of damage to crops annually, and are suspected to be the most significant known factor for plant species loss on the continent. No wonder the Australians have become so strict about the importation of plant and animal matter into the country.ReplyDelete


text: Things never go as planned. I pulled the motor Saturday in an effort to put in the race prepped gear set and things quickly went pear shaped. I thought I'd be able to simply split the case, leave the crank, pistons, head, timing chain, etc. in tact, and swap out the gear stacks. How wrong I was. To split the case you have to get to two bolts located between pistons 2 and 3, which means everything had to come apart. Shit engineering from a service standpoint, but I'm sure it's cheap to put it together at the factory which is why it's done. The fact that this will be a wicked machine when it's finished is keeping me going.

Hey TBH, Filthyfil hereReplyDelete
5D MKIII has served me well, depends on what you do, majority of the pics on my Flickr page was shot on a MKIII https://www.flickr.com/photos/philheyo/
Lens is where you'll spend most of your money. I've spent more on lens then my camera bodies....Lens u can keep forever, camera bodies are only good for 200000 shots.
I've also got a Canon 7D which is a crop sensor camera, as opposed to MKIII which is a full frame camera.
Basically means the picture on 7D is cropped where you'll see if full image on MKIII.
Some claim image quality is better on full frame camera, but that's arguable
There's a new 7D MKII coming out soon with lots of new improved features....maybe worth checking out......
Picture quality is not only on the camera body....more importantly it is in the lens :D Let me know if you need any help picking a camera.
Nikon's are also great cameras....but Nikon are kinda limited in the lens choices......
It sounds like the 7D MKII is the way to go...ReplyDelete

As a course of dedicated study goes, this is not too bad. One day it's sampling a Waipara, New Zealand Riesling with lunch, then a Sicilian Nero d'Avola with supper, and in between there were tastes of a high end Anderson Valley Pinot Noir. For our lunch the next day we enjoyed a widely distributed Central Coast high acid Chardonnay with a deliciously egg-gooey Fettuccine alla Carbonara. Our dinner of Grilled Ground Sirloin and mushrooms, tomato salad and sauteed winter squash was complemented by an expressive, but inexpensive Spanish Mouvedre. Such a dedication to the world of wine you might think is rewarded with some recognition. Sampling international varieties is serious business for an aspiring Wine Educator, but for now, the reward is in the joy of tasting what the world of wine has to offer. That's five(5) wines in two(2) days, and the quality wines beckoning in our future are sure to be almost endless. From here we go forward, one taste at a time.
North of the South Island's major city of Christchurch lies New Zealand's Waipara Valley. This fast growing, cool-climate wine region is promoting itself as the greenest of wine regions and becoming known for it's crisp Rieslings, its spicy Pinot Noirs, and the widely planted Kiwi Sauvignon Blancs. Rieslings from this part of New Zealand benefit from their situation; grown in cool vineyards, made in dry styles with bracing acidity and wonderful balance to any sweetness. Our fresh selection offered a convenient screw-cap and a was a refreshingly great value, too. As the respected International Riesling Foundation writer Dan Berger has announced, "New Zealand Riesling is a category to watch".
Often compared to contemporary Syrah, Sicily's full-bodied Nero d'Avola is among its most popular Greek-introduced grape varieties. Grown mostly in the broad viticultural region that predominates the West of Sicily, recent government subsidies, combined with improved growing and cellar practices have today given modern Nero d'Avola new life. This indigenous 'Black Grape of Avola' is more than ever perfectly suited to the dry and arid conditions of this large Mediterranean island and the grilled or roasted foods that make up a staple part of its native cuisine.
The Anderson Valley is an American Viticultural Area (AVA) immediately North of Sonoma, covering a cool, sparsely populated region of California's western Mendocino County. Alsatian varieties, like Riesling, Pinot Gris and Gewurztraminer are popular in this area, which also has a deserved reputation for its world-class sparkling wines. As a result, distinctive Pinot Noirs have also found a home here, as have Roederer Estates and Scharffenberger Cellars.. Although it has a cool coastal climate that will offer challenges of ripeness or frost, the Valley's upper ridge-lands here are typically above the fog, dressed in sunlight where dry summer temperatures can be roasting. It is here, in cool pockets of this environment, Pinot Noir can shine, offering identifiably bright fruit flavors and buoyant acidity. With its grape growing history of more than a hundred years, the Anderson Valley is today home to some of California's very best Pinot Noirs.
It is Mouvedre in France, known as Mataro in Portugal and goes by Monastrell in Spain, but in my glass it is dark and delicious. A bit wild, a bit gamey, Mouvedre proves to be a fine food wine of structure, fruit and balance. It's history stretches from the southern Rhone to Portugal, and has a legacy of being a rustic workhorse. But, when produced with modern sensibility for the larger marketplace, it can be a perfect partner for lamb, grilled foods or provincial stews. Speaking of Provence, one of Mouvedre's most celebrated homes is that of Bandol on the Mediterranean coast. Perhaps that bottle will be opened tomorrow.
