Tackling the Schools to Prison Pipeline..!!
"In these days, it is doubtful that any child may reasonably be expected to succeed in life if he is denied the opportunities of an education. Such an opportunity, where the state has undertaken to provide it, is a right that must be made available on equal terms."
– Chief Justice Earl Warren, Brown v. Board of Education (1954)
The school-to-prison pipeline: an epidemic that is plaguing schools across the nation. Far too often, students are kept in isolation, given fix term exclusions or permanently excluded this can even go as far as a child being arrested for minor offenses that leave visits to the headteacher's office a thing of the past. Statistics reflect that these policies disproportionately target students of color and those with a history of abuse, neglect, poverty or learning disabilities.
Watch Cheryl Phoenix live on the BBC discussing the issues around exclusions and the minor things Black children will be excluded for , take a listen.
Who We Are
The Black Child Agenda CIC is an international multi award winning organisation supporting children and families who face discrimination, permanent exclusion, bullying, isolation and those not being correctly supported with mental health concerns in the UK.
The Black Child Agenda has a successful track record of supporting children and families up and down the UK who face challenges, often based on the colour of their skin, rather then the content of their character.
The Black Child Agenda was born in 2011, after the founder Cheryl Phoenix's son's came up against overt racism and direct discrimination at their school. They and other black students were being harshly penalised with regular sanctions of isolation and fixed term exclusions, or off-site education for minor infractions, whilst their white counterparts were given simple warnings.
The pattern was not only being witnessed by Cheryl, but also by other parents, teachers, professionals and the general public, up and down the country. With countless case studies and reports, (the most recent being the Lammy report), highlighting the issues around discriminatory processes within the education, judicial, Healthcare & recruitment system.
Cheryl has often said that it is not going far enough to simply "highlight" the issues, those of us within the African Caribbean and Mixed race communities live with these issues daily, we are often told we are "playing the race card", when we wish to address our concerns, however this often falls on deaf ears. Cheryl explains, yet another report has been compiled, wasting millions of pounds with no clear outcomes, or policy changes which positively affect the African Caribbean & Mixed communities, there is a great deal of lip services, mainstream radio shows belittling the issues that this community faces, however we are being systematically failed daily.
A prime example of this is the disgusting way the Windrush scandal has come about and been dealt with. Teresa May's government has deported hundred's of people from the Caribbean who were INVITED to the UK back in the early 50's, with the promise of a "better life in the motherland" however these communities have been treated worse than dogs since they endured the boat journey to the UK. Despite these people fighting in British Wars, building the NHS service and other key buildings and monuments up and down the UK.
Cheryl is unapologetic in her stance and naming of her organisation, as she knows historically there has been no group of people who have been treated in such an abhorrent manner as the Black child and family. With Black children 168x's more likely to be permanently excluded from mainstream school's something drastic needed to be done.
Who's in the Pipeline?- Students from two groups—racial minorities and children with Special Educational Needs (SEN)—are disproportionately represented in the school-to-prison pipeline. Black students, for instance, are 167 times more likely than their white counterparts to be excluded for a fixed term or permanently excluded. Black children constitute 12 percent of students, but they account for 46 percent of those excluded more than once.
For students with disabilities, the numbers are equally troubling. One report found that while 8.6 percent of public school children have been identified as having disabilities that affect their ability to learn, these students make up 32 percent of youth in juvenile detention centres.
The Black Child Agenda began doing road trips and conferences in London, Birmingham, Leeds, Nottingham, Manchester and many other areas, raising awareness with parents on how to successfully challenge the system.
The Black Child Agenda is regurlarly featured in The Independent Newspaper, The Guardian, many local papers, Channel4, BBC News, BBC Radio London Vanessa Feltz show & regularly featured on the Dotun Adebayo show. Cheryl has come from a background of being a Multi-award winning serial entrepreneur to the Agenda, which is the Black Child business & Family Agenda #unapologetically.

Tuesday night I was having some ladies over when Mr 6 yo came up with a small easel we have and put his painting on it. On the easel was a small piece of paper with a "10" on it. "What's this?" I asked. He told me he was putting his painting up for sale for $.10 in case one of the ladies wanted to buy it.
Well, seeing as how his grandmother was one of the ladies, she, as any grandmother would do, bought his painting...and gave him a $.05 tip! Ah, what a little bit of "incentive" will do for someone.
After school work was done today he got out his painting supplies and set himself up outside.
We were a bit curious why he was outside (beside the fact that it was January 11th and 50 degrees) but the best we can figure was that he was going back to the movie that showed Ms. Potter drawing by the lakeside. It was so cute to watch him out there going to town on his painting. His lips were moving, but the door was shut so we don't know if he was singing or just talking to himself. Either way he finished up and came in with a painting of a barn.
We were supposed to have more people over tonight so he wanted to be ready for another possible sale.
Unfortunately, our weekly formation group got cancelled for tonight, so he'll have to wait until next week. If you're interested in purchasing his artwork, just drop me a comment, I'm sure he'd be thrilled (and encouraged :)!
Who knows, with a bit of persistence, he might just be another Beatrix Potter.

Fasting and Feasting2 min read . Updated: 06 Oct 2007, 12:56 AM IST
Fasting and Feasting
Fasting and Feasting
The month of Ramzan, which is the Islamic month when the Quran was revealed, is marked by fasting between sunrise and sunset, prayers and charity and ends with the festival of Id-ul-Fitr.
But Ramzan also spawns a temporary economy of charity, because wealthy Muslims are supposed to give away 2.5% of their valuation, called zakaat, during Ramzan, when any good deed is said to multiply. While it is hard to get a sense of how much money is given away, some estimates suggest that 75% of funding for madrasas (Islamic educational institutions) and orphanages comes during Ramzan. Also, 65-70% of such funds, nationally, are said to come from Mumbai.
Salim Rajani, a plastic and stock trader from the Dongri area, says he will be giving away Rs1-1.5 lakh this Ramzan to madrasas and orphanages, about 30% more than last year, as the booming stock market has multiplied his investments.
In fact, Muslim stock brokers send out valuations of their clients' investments on the first day of Ramzan to help them calculate how much needs to be given away during the month.
Some facts
200,000: Approximate number of people visiting the 1km 'market' stretch on Mumbai's Mohamed Ali Road every evening during Ramzan
Rs1,200: Higher end of price, per kg, of dates (these are imported from Saudi Arabia) that are used to break the fast
5am: The beginning of the daily fast, with a prayer and a snack. The fast ends at 6.30pm
6,000: The number of verses in the Quran; a selection is read every night, for two hours, during the month
Also see following photos:
1. People offering 'namaz' outside Mumbai's busy Bandra station.
2-4. Hundreds of pavement stalls selling food, dry fruit, tradiotional perfumes ('ittar'), shoes ('mojdis'), clothes and other goods are set up during Ramzan around Jama Masjid.
5. Mumbai's 80-year-old Suleman Mithaiwala sweet shop introduces a new sweet almost daily during the later days of the month.
6. Shopping for saris in the Madina area, near Hyderabad's Charminar.
7. The area around Charminar wears a festive look during Ramzan.
8. A vendor selling 'sewaiyan' or vermicelli near Jama Masjid, Delhi. The vermicelli is added to milk to make a sweet dish.
9. Shopkeepers doing brisk business outside Bandra station, Mumbai. Kohl being applied just before namaz.
10. Top view of Mandvi area near Mohammed Ali Road, Mumbai. The Minara Masjid is also seen in the picture.
11. Shops open till late night at Pydhonie, Mumbai.
12. Haleem being sold at Pista House purcha in the old city of Hyderabad.

Over the past few months, Charlie Finch has made a name for himself thanks to his hit singles "If I Ever Let You Down" and "Stay the Winter". The star grew up in a musical family and has always turned to the medium to express himself. Now, after months in the studio, he releases his debut offering 'Life's Journey'.
Like the two singles, Charlie continues to blend indie folk with various pop influences on the record. The star has made sure that every element on the record is perfect. The songwriting is exceptional, he shines through his vocal performance and the melodies will ensure you'll be humming the tracks for a long time after listening to them.
The song writing process saw Finch draw a lot from his life, grabbing moments and creating them into songs. Some came quick and the others took ages to develop. Finch explains saying "The songs all usually stem from a moment in my life that stands out and then I would just sit down with a guitar or a piano and start writing. Sometimes the songs just poured out in a very short amount of time and other times I only ended up finishing a song years later." His exceptional ability to transform feelings into emotional songs is what will set him apart and he seems to do this effortlessly.
In fact, Charlie admits that some of the world's biggest pop stars had a hand in influencing the way he writes songs. "I'd listen to a lot of Ed Sheeran, Mumford & sons and Coldplay," he says. "The way they write and the sounds they create have definitely played a role in the way I write. I've always been interested in the lyrics of songs and the stories they tell, it's always interesting to me to hear how someone interprets a song I've written and what I intended for the song to convey."
However, despite his natural knack for songwriting, the album has been a long time coming and the star is excited that the world can finally hear what he has been working on. "I've been looking forward to releasing this album for so long and now the day is finally here. I'm honestly just so excited for people to hear it and see what their favorite songs are," he says. However, when asked which his favourite song is, the star had a hard time answering. "It's hard for me to say which are my favorite songs on the album as I feel like all of them are a part of me," he says. "I really love 'Elaine' as it was quite a significant moment in my life that I was writing about, and the song always brings back so many memories."
Charlie's 'Life's Journey' is available on all major digital platforms right now.

Impacting the Whole Family
"My daughter's life has been impacted forever through Pablove Shutterbugs. To our family, Pablove has meant happy times, smiles, hidden talents revealed, and union."
Shutterbugs Parent
Healing The Heart
"It was a distraction for me while going through my cancer treatment. To me photography is an escape; an escape from work, school, people, and life in general. It helps me take my mind off things. When I take pictures, I'm focused on the object/person. Photography has helped me to be more positive in life"
Shutterbugs Student
A Future of Learning
"My son is really taking to his photography more and more. He and I talk about composition dynamics and elements beyond what is covered in class, as in he keeps wanting to learn and explore after the session is over! He is able to identify and talk about shapes, movements, rhythms, and textural juxtapositions at a level that seems well beyond elementary school, much less first grade."
Shutterbugs Parent
Powered by Pablove Seed Grants and Accelerator Award invest in and advance cutting-edge pediatric cancer research to qualify investigators for even larger grants, federal funding and clinical trial.
Funding Where It's Needed
We're committed to funding the best ideas, wherever they may be. Since 2011 The Pablove Foundation has awarded 43 grants to 33 creative researchers at 25 different institutions around the world. That's a lot of brilliant minds working towards transforming the future of pediatric cancer care.
Bridging the Gap
A Powerful Investment
For every dollar we've awarded, our Powered by Pablove researchers have raised an additional $3.55.
That's a total of $12.8 million dollars invested in pediatric cancer research!
Pablove Prints
where it all comes together
Our mission comes full circle when the sales of Pablove Prints — photos taken by Shutterbugs students — fund a $50,000 seed grant. Our mission empowers kids and teens living with cancer to advocate for themselves and their peers by directly funding research with their work.

Minami Minegishi (峯岸みなみ, Minegishi Minami?) also known as Shaku (尺, Shaku?), and the Hot-Blooded Student President, was a minor character in Majisuka Gakuen and a primary character in Majisuka Gakuen 2.
Appearance and Personality
In the first season, Minami was the student president of Majisuka Jyogakuen. Her fixation on trying to gain fame, or "screentime", was later revealed. She was kind but a stickler for rules, especially concerning behavior such as vandalism. She cared deeply for her friends, and was shown to look up to her fellow Queens after becoming a Rappapa member. When she was in the role of student president, Minami was mainly ignored by other students of Majisuka Jyogakuen. However, she managed to gain respect from fellow second year Onizuka Daruma.
In Majisuka Gakuen 2, she renamed herself Shaku after becoming a Queen. She wanted to create a new image for herself, and become better known in school. Shaku was generally considered the weakest of the Four Heavenly Queens of the new Rappapa. This was a source of insecurity to her, as she wanted to be helpful to her fellow gang members. However, Shaku was still adept at fighting, as shown when she defeated Team Under and helped fight against the Yabakune students.
In the first season, she wore a Majisuka Gakuen uniform with a ribbon on the collar. She also had a white armband proclaiming her to be the student council president. Around her neck was a cord with a whistle on it, and a gold fob watch. She had a wavy, half-tied up hairstyle. In the second season, despite becoming a Rappapa member, she still wore her student president armband. She chose to wear a uniform with no ribbon and an ankle length skirt. Over her uniform was a long red tokko-fuku coat, with the kana '尺!!' (Shaku?) on the back. In addition, she had a white surgical mask under her chin, which she occasionally removed. Her hairstyle was also changed, to be straight rather than wavy.
Majisuka Gakuen
Minami made her first appearance in the fifth episode, standing outside the Majisuka Jyogakuen gates. She was checking her fob watch and blowing her whistle to make sure the students were on time. After Maeda Atsuko and Onizuka Daruma approached her, Minami introduced herself as the self-appointed student council president. Later she helps Daruma take down the huge amount of papers, that each bear a message accusing Atsuko of being a murderer, down from the wall. As the two remove the papers, Minami comments that since Atsuko has become well-known since she transferred to Majisuka Gakuen, it is no surprise that she is being targeted in hurtful ways.
Minami returns in the last episode, making her final appearance at the graduation ceremony. She begins to read out a speech for the graduating seniors, all of whom were not present at the time. Inexplicably Minami breaks down into tears, leaving the audience dumbfounded. The school nurse, Kiken, comes up and wraps her in his jacket. Telling Minami she should stay strong despite crying himself, he leads her off the stage. This whole act may have been a ploy for getting attention, considering Minami's obsession with "screentime" that emerges in the second season.
Majisuka Gakuen 2
Change of Generation, Come On!
As Daruma left the school in order to train to become stronger, Minami was instead invited by Atsuko to become one of the Four Heavenly Queens of Rappapa. Minami accepted, due to the role getting more "appearances" than the student council president. She also renamed herself Shaku, meaning "screentime".
When Center bursts into the Wind Instrument Clubroom, Shaku suddenly appears and stops the impending fight in order to introduce herself as part of the Queens. When Unagi comments that there are already four Queens, Shaku retorts that the Noh-Kyogen Sisters are "sold as a set".
When Yabakune students start attacking Majijo students, Shaku becomes concerned with the matter. After the Kabuki Sisters and Gakuran are taken down, Shaku becomes stressed at Shibuya's betrayal before visiting Gakuran in hospital. She tells Gakuran that the only way she was able to get through the crowd of Gakuran's fans was to tell them that she was her girlfriend. Gakuran is at first amused by this and the two get closer and were about to kiss when Gekikara entered the room. The two move away from each other flustered and Shaku tells them that she's going to go get some fresh flowers. Shaku then meets up Gekikara in the corridoor and chat before Gekikara goes to leave. Unfortunately, Gekikara is stabbed by a Yabakune student and collapses in Shaku's arms.
Shaku waits outside the surgery with Otabe, feeling guilty that she couldn't help anyone and that she doesn't deserve her title of queen. Shaku then starts to wear Gekikara's "ROCK" necklace promising herself to become stronger. Shaku then bumps into Team Under who call her weak and useless. Shaku becomes angry at this and swiftly defeats the four of them, when she leaves they comment she is the scariest person they have come across. Shaku then accidently bumps into a group of Yabakune students, just as they were about to attack her, Janken tells them that she will fight Shaku. The two battle, finding out they have a lot in common as they both feel weak but want more screentime so they have to prove themselves to get it. The two of them are equal in strength and both ask each other if the other should transfer to their respective schools, both decline the offer though and continue fighting. Shaku seemingly wins but both challenge each other to a match of Jan-ken-pon (rock paper scissors) to which Janken wins, Shaku exclaims that she is good and collapses. Yabakune then steal her shoes.
Later on Shaku talks with Bungee and is then confronted by Team Under who call her "Shaku-nee" with a pair of shoes, announcing that they are her underlings. Team Under would then follow Shaku everywhere, much to her annoyance but seems to enjoy it at the same time.
Shaku takes part in the showdown between Majijo and Yabakune, taking down several Yabakune students where she finally meets Janken once again, the two nod to each other before going back to their seperate fights. When Atsuko stops the battle, Shaku says farewell to her saying that she will share screentime with Atsuko. She then calls out Atsuko's name with the other Majijo students as she's driven off.
|Majisuka Gakuen
|Majisuka Gakuen 2
- The name Shaku is derived from the Japanese word for "screentime". This is possibly a reference to Minegishi Minami wanting more time on screen.
- In episode 1 of season 2, Shaku said that she had considered becoming a baseball club manager. This was likely reference to the manga Moshidora. The main character of this series was based on Minegishi Minami, and portrayed by Maeda Atsuko in the film version.
- In episode 12 of season 2, Shaku told Maeda Atsuko's character "You can take all the screentime you want." This may have also been a reference to Moshidora, as Atsuko was chosen for the main role. Minami was given a minor role, since she had less experience in films and dramas.
- In the graduation scene in the final episode of season 1, Minami read a manuscript in a scene similar to one found in the Sakura no Hanabiratachi 2008 music video.
- Her name is abbreviated as H.M. instead of M.M. in Nezumi's calculations. The reason for this might be as to make the audience think that the calculations are not related to the actresses' real names. The first kanji in Minegishi (峯岸, Minegishi?) can also be read as Hou in on'yomi.
- Her strength level was ranked as 30:100 (with respect to Maeda Atsuko).

As Christians, one major aspect of our walk with the Lord is marked with the fact that we find ourselves in an ongoing conflict with the devil, sin, this evil world system, as well as our own carnal nature. With this in mind, temptation is really something that we have to be extremely cautious about because it ultimately leads people to sin.
As a result, we're left with no choice but to accept the fact that we're going to be tempted due to the fact temptation is all over the place. Even worse, it's running wild within the church. It's such a powerful tool that Satan has been using for thousands of years since the inception of mankind in the Garden of Eden in order to bring forth various types of destruction to people's lives.
Temptation is the foundation of the devil's basic standard operating procedures, meaning that almost everything he'll ever accomplish through people will be based on it. Temptation walks hand in hand with lies and deceptions. Despite having said all of that, temptation is not a sin, the problem is when people choose to give in by following the very things they are tempted to do.
How do we draw the line concerning resisting temptation? As powerful and intense temptation may be, yet it's incapable of dragging anybody into sin all by itself without that individual's cooperation. Therefore, that's where we have an awesome opportunity to decide whether we'll remain loyal to God or not. We'll look into 3 basic principles that can be used in order to confront temptation.
1) Resisting Temptation Starts With Having an Attitude Centered Upon Pleasing and Glorifying God in Everything.
God has made us for His own good pleasure; in other words, for His own glory. By saying that, it means that we have to at least start off with having an understanding of our God-given purpose. What does He really need from us? Why did He send Christ to die for us while being in a state of spiritual death, which causes us to be unwilling to follow and obey Him? Why did He make such a priceless investment into us irrespective of our own unworthiness in His sight? The only thing that can clearly explain all of that is His unconditional and sacrificial love for us as people who've been made in His own image.
Since God is expecting something in return from us, our job is to please and glorify Him. In fact, the Christian life is centered upon pleasing and glorifying God by our willingness to live holy lives by putting Him first (1 Peter 2:12, 1 Corinthians 6:20, 1 Thessalonians 4:7). To sum everything up, that's pretty much all God wants from us in response to what He's done for us. Besides, in His love for us, He desired reciprocal love. Our love can only be extended to Him through our obedience (John 14:15). Obedience is the very starting point of pleasing and glorifying Him.
But, one thing that should call our attention is the fact that God isn't the only One who wants to be glorified through us. Satan as an accomplished opportunist and deceiver who has no right to glory due to God is constantly seeking to manipulate us in order for him to be glorified too. He's well aware of our weaknesses, meaning that he'll always use them as weapon against us by tempting us to indulge in sinful behaviors that will literally bring shame and reproach to Christ. Consequently, instead of God being glorified, He's the One being put to shame. When that happens, Satan is the one being pleased and glorified.
On the other hand, if we've embraced an attitude of pleasing and glorifying God by dying to self on an ongoing basis by resisting the impulsive desires of the flesh through complete submission and surrender to God's Word, then we create an environment in our lives for God to work through us in such a powerful manner. In fact, submission leads to empowerment, which will then enable us to resist the devil, his influence, along with his massive field of temptation (James 4:7).
2) Giving in Is Nothing More Than a Victory to Satan.
The enemy has a clear mission with temptation. His overall goal is to entice us to subject ourselves to his deceptive, manipulative, destructive, and deadly ways. He's always seeking absolute dominion and control over people's lives. Therefore, when we willfully choose to follow his seduction, that's tantamount to giving him a victory over us at the expense of dishonoring and rejecting the very things that we should hold dearly.
In order for us to actually fall into temptation we have to deliberately choose to step over our God-given boundaries set by His Word. The most powerful way of confronting temptation is to see both temptation and sin as what they really are. They are the very devices that Satan totally depends on not only to lead people away from God but to keep them in such condition indefinitely. We all know that being away from God literally means death.
3) Resisting Temptation is Considered as a Victory to Christ.
Nevertheless, when we choose to take a bold stance against evil by depending up on the Spirit of God for empowerment and discernment, so that we are able to resist temptation for the sake of living holy lives, that brings honor and glory to Christ. The reason is that the priority is shifted from pleasing self, which is equivalent to pleasing Satan to pleasing Christ, which is equivalent to pleasing God.
What can ever honor and glorify our Lord more than when we choose to align our lives in a way that's consistent with the main purpose of His death on the cross? God's perfect will for us is to live an abundant, successful, and victorious life through His only Son Christ Jesus. By resisting Satan, his influence, along with his field of temptation being unleashed on us, the message we convey to God is that His ways are the best. In addition to that, they are the only ways worthy of being followed and obeyed.
Since dealing with temptation stems from relying on the Word, God has made us a very important promise in (1 Corinthians 10:13). It says we'll never be allowed to be tempted beyond our ability to deal with it, and when we're tempted God will be there with us in order to empower us to endure it until we make it out safely. The mindset we should adopt when dealing with temptation no matter how fierce and intense it may get is to believe that God is with us. Since He's there with us, we should have a firm assurance that there is always a way out of this thing as a result.
That's also what it means to walk by faith not by sight (2 Corinthians 5:7), instead of allowing our flesh to deceive us miserably with the false belief based on utter desperation that we have to give in to alleviate the pressure. Lastly, God carries out His mighty works through the person of the Holy Spirit (Zechariah 4:6), and we're commanded to live in accordance with the Holy Spirit (Romans 8:5), so that we won't go after the desires of the flesh. That can only happen by our willingness to rely on the Spirit of God.

AbstractThe first essay empirically evaluates recently developed techniques that have been proposed to improve the estimation of affine term structure models. The evaluation presented here is performed on two dimensions. On the first dimension, I find that invariant transformations and rotations can be used to reduce the number of free parameters needed to estimate the model and subsequently, improve the empirical performance of affine term structure models. The second dimension of this evaluation surrounds the comparison between estimating an affine term structure model using the model-free method and the inversion method. Using daily LIBOR rate and swap rate quotes from June 1996 to July 2008 to extract a panel of 3,034 time-series observations and 14 cross sections, this paper shows that, a term structure model that is estimated using the model-free method does not perform significantly better in fitting yields, at any horizon, than the more traditional methods available in the literature.The second essay attempts explores implications of using principal components analysis in the estimation of affine term structure models. Early work employing principal component analysis focused on portfolio formation and trading strategies. Recent work, however, has moved the usage of principal components analysis into more formal applications such as the direct involvement of principal component based factors within an affine term structure model. It is this usage of principal components analysis in formal model settings that warrants a study of potential econometric implications of its application to term structure modeling. Serial correlation in interest rate data, for example, has been documented by several authors. The majority of the literature has focused on strong persistence in state variables as giving rise to this phenomena. In this paper, I take yields as given, and hence document the effects of whitening on the model-implied state-dependent factors, subsequently estimated by the principal component based model-free method. These results imply that the process of pre-whitening the data does play a critical role in model estimation. Results are robust to Monte Carlo Simulations. Empirical results are obtained from using daily LIBOR rate and swap rate quotes from June 1996 to July 2008 to extract a panel of zero-coupon yields consisting of 3,034 time-series observations and 14 cross sections.The third essay examines the extent to which the prevalence of estimation risk in numerical integration creates bias, inefficiencies, and inaccurate results in the widely used class of affine term structure models. In its most general form, this class of models relies on the solution to a system of non-linear Ricatti equations to back out the state-factor coefficients. Only in certain cases does this class of models admit explicit, and thus analytically tractable, solutions for the state factor coefficients. Generally, and for more economically plausible scenarios, explicit closed form solutions do not exist and the application of Runge-Kutta methods must be employed to obtain numerical estimates of the coefficients for the state variables. Using a panel of 3,034 yields and 14 cross-sections, this paper examines what perils, if any, exist in this trade off of analytical tractability against economic flexibility. Robustness checks via Monte Carlo Simulations are provided. In specific, while the usage of analytical methods needs less computational time, numerical methods can be used to estimate a broader set of economic scenarios. Regardless of the data generating process, the generalized Gaussian process seems to dominate the Vasicek model in terms of bias and efficiency. However, when the data are generated from a Vasicek model, the Vasicek model performs better than the generalized Gaussian process for fitting the yield curve. These results impart new and important information about the trade off that exists between using analytical methods and numerical methods for estimate affine term structure models.

27 years3
March 8, 2012 by Carin
Twenty seven years on March 10, 2012. Twenty seven years ago my dad passed away from Colon Cancer. I was eight years old and was in the second half of my 2nd grade year of elementary school. I don't have many memories of him, but I know that I missed a lot without him being in my life and in the lives of my family. I remember the day we found out and it is forever etched in my mind as the day my life was vastly altered from what could have been to what it is now. My dad missed so much of my life and it still makes me sad and angry. He never saw me play softball, run cross country in high school, graduate from high school let alone college, complete any of my marathons and he never met my husband, walked me down the aisle and will never know my children. For all that I am angry in so many ways. But with that anger, I am sad for all the same reasons, so much was missed and so many experiences could have been better or worse with him, but none the less I wish he would have been around to share in them. I remember having friends growing up who would complain about their dads for being "a dad" and I would nod my head in agreement, but really be thinking "At least you have a dad to be angry with".
The story I am going to share with you now is one very few people have heard, but it sums up the feelings of an eight year old girl who is facing cancer in the eyes and knowing it is going to get the best of her family.
It was a sunny day, winter and cold. It was the weekend because I was home from school. My mom had just asked me to empty the dishwasher, for some reason I hated this task and was refusing to do it. Probably whining to my mom and giving her more grief then she deserved at that time with all that was going on. Suddenly I heard my name being called from my parent's room. It was my dad's voice, weaker then it use to be. He was lying in bed, his new normal since his diagnosis the day after Christmas. He called me into the room and asked me to sit down. I was frightened not only for the lecture I was sure I was going to get, but of him. He wasn't "Dad" anymore. He was a skinny, jaundice former shell of himself. I hadn't spent a lot of time with him since he was diagnosed because he was tired a lot and it just seemed like we shouldn't bother him. So as I sat there, he started to tell me how I needed to listen to my mother, help her out, be there for her, kind of what I expected but with more finality. I didn't want to look at him and averted my eyes to the floor. He kept talking and if I remember right I zoned out a bit and started to think about what was really happening. My lip started to tremble and my eyes started to well up with tears. I snapped back to what he was saying when he asked me what was wrong. I then looked into his brown jaundice eyes and said "I am afraid you are going to die." He then lost some of his composure and said "I am too." He then opened up his arms and I went to him. He held me tight and we cried together. Nothing more was said. My dad wasn't one to talk about his feelings, so for him to open up just a little like he did was huge. I don't remember any more of the exchange we had, there probably isn't much more to remember. I eventually got up and left the room and I am sure he went back to sleep. Within weeks of our exchange, my dad was taken by ambulance to the hospital for the last time and died that night.
My dad was 41 years old. There were probably many warning signs he ignored during the years leading up to his diagnosis. There have been so many what ifs and speculations throughout the years and trying to figure out what he was thinking or going through silently. We will never know. But it is 27 years later and there is so much new technology that could save a person with colon cancer or for that matter almost any other type of cancer. I hope if you, as a parent or spouse suspect something is not right with your body, that you take action and make an appointment with your doctor. Your family deserves to experience everything with you. Your children need their parents to be present for all those milestones, celebrations and ups and downs and the mundane everyday life. Please, don't take your health for granted due to vanity or money. All the years that could be lost are worth so much more then what it may cost you.
As a parent now to two great kids it brings pain to my heart and soul just thinking of something happening to myself or my husband and missing out on all the events of our kids lives. They grow up so fast, experience, learn, change and grow so much so quickly. Know what my own dad missed out on and only brings the "what if" so much closer to home. If I think about the "what if" to much, it brings tears to my eyes and sick feeling to my stomach, so I try really hard to avoid those thoughts and enjoy what I have, but do everything in my power to make sure I am here for the long haul with my kids.
Lastly, I want to thank my mom. You did a great job raising me alone. You loved unconditionally and were the best single parent who gave so much. I know you wish you could have given more, but you were dealt a tough hand and you made the most of it. We had many fun times, some tears, but most of all, I had a mom who showed me love everyday.
3 thoughts on "27 years"
I have no concept of what it feels like to lose a parent. I cannot imagine the emotions at age 8. What I can empathize with is cancer. I agree – it's very angering. I hate it.
Thanks for sharing your special moment with your dad. I'm confident it meant just as much to him as it did to you. I'm thinking of you this week.
Major hugs coming your way.
I'm an avid reader of this blog and this is the first time I really wanted to comment. My dad died when I was 17 and my mom when I was 22 so when I read this, it really struck a chord with me. As a new mom myself, you put alot of my own thoughts into words.
Thank you for sharing!
I'm so sorry to hear of your loss at such a young age. Your message certainly rings true…no one should avoid listening to signals from their body, especially not parents of young children.
That picture of you as a baby looks just like Grace!

Dear Neighbors,
For this month's column, I am just going to offer some quick odds & ends:
· We had a great time at the October 31 State of the City luncheon hosted by our Chamber of Commerce at Fantasy Springs. If you were not there, you can see Mayor Lupe Ramos Amith's State of the City presentation here. You can find the link in the story on the topic in this newsletter.
· Mayor Ramos Amith's presentation came complete with a very futuristic, animated video projecting the vibrant Indio we expect in 2040 and beyond. She was illustrating the City Council's BOLD vision for our future, unencumbered by tired expectations that might otherwise put limits on the exciting possibilities we have in our community. To quote the Mayor, the video is futuristic, but everything in it is possible.
· I was noticing the attendance at our State of the City event included several elected officials from neighboring cities. Very supportive. Our Councilmembers frequently reciprocate. I have been City Manager in 4 California counties. In the Coachella Valley, our elected officials all work together and support each other better than in any of the other regions of the State that I have experienced. We truly have great elected officials throughout this region. I believe it manifests itself in better policy making.
· All cities compete for business investment. As a City staff, we always welcome people who come to invest in doing business in Indio. We want to encourage them....but with one caveat. For any business that thinks they can offer lesser service quality in Indio than elsewhere in the CV — we respectfully say no thank you. Not in our town!
· You may wonder why the City Manager writes these newsletter columns rather than the Mayor or City Councilmembers. The answer is that California voters many years ago placed strict limits on use of City resources in City publications that might be considered as "promoting" elected officials. Email newsletters are arguably exempt, but we err on the side of prudence. (And I'd miss it if I had to vacate this column!)
So, I have been boasting that my wife and I are moving to Indio! And we did. We live here now. And within one week, I already got cited by my HOA! So now I feel like a full-fledged member of the community. As for the HOA, they were right. My garage doors need painting. I promise to comply. Happy to do our share!
As if moving was not enough, I turned 70 this week. One of my staff told me I'm not really 70. I'm 69.95 plus tax. Any way you cut it, I am grateful to be healthy, happy and a resident-City Manager of this wonderful community with a future full of exciting possibilities.
Let me know what we can do to be of service.
Mark Scott

If you're a landlord considering entering the rent-to-own market, it always helps to appraise the pros and cons. Arguably, this is an excellent way to guarantee a stable rental income, but the scheme doesn't come without disadvantages. After weighing the good and the bad points, you can decide whether it's right for you.
Pros of Offering Rent-to-Own Agreements
You can secure a steady rental income for a few years
Tenants who enter a rent-to-own agreement tie themselves into an above-market rate for a few years. At the end of the agreement, they'll decide whether to buy the property or not. As their landlord, if they don't choose to buy the property you can decide whether to continue renting it out to them on a month-to-month basis.
The biggest benefit of this is that you secure your rental income for a few years. When you don't have to seek new tenants periodically, you don't risk losing money during the periods where nobody occupies your property. In addition to the guaranteed income, this also means you're closer to securing a profit on a sale than if you leave the property sitting on the market unoccupied. As an added bonus, if you want to jump straight into a similar agreement if the tenants don't meet your needs, you can do it. As a landlord, this type of agreement provides both financial stability and flexibility.
You may find that you're in demand
With mortgages still attracting strict lending criteria, many Millennial and self-employed families find themselves priced out of the housing market. As they have no desire to remain as renters forever, they look toward alternative options that are plausible despite their less-than-ideal credit profiles. If you're offering a rent-to-own agreement as a landlord, you may find that your property is in demand.
If your property is in demand, you may also have more latitude when it comes to the sale price. Those who are keen to jump into the property market may be more open to spending just above market value than those who have an easy time acquiring a mortgage. The high-demand nature of your property also means you'll have a better selection of tenants to choose from.
Cons of Offering Rent-to-Own Agreements
You're locking yourself into an agreement
One of the undeniable pitfalls of being a rent-to-own landlord is that you're locking yourself into an agreement. At the minimum, this means six months, but it could mean up to five years. While it can mean enjoying a consistent rental income it also means you'll have a harder time removing the tenant if they default on their agreement.
Similarly, you may struggle to increase the rental price in line with market changes if all of the sudden your area becomes hot. And, if you find you want to sell the property earlier than expected you won't be able to due to your contractual obligations.
You won't make as much money from the property in the short term
If you're fixing and flipping a property with the intention of making money quickly, rent-to-own probably isn't for you. In the short term, you'll make money from being a landlord, but the profits aren't as immediate or as significant as when you sell a property soon after renovating it. As there is no guarantee that the people you're renting the property out to will purchase it, you may find that this is a slow route toward making a profit.
The Bottom Line
When it comes to being a rent-to-own landlord, weighing up the financial pros and cons is essential. While you're more likely to enjoy a steady rental income, you won't access cash as quickly. Although maintaining a steady tenant relationship is possible, that same stability means locking yourself into a tight contract. With a little careful planning, you can decide whether this route is right for you.

Third party vendors responsible for data breaches at Verizon, Four Seasons Hotels, and Trump Hotels
Nearly 14 million Verizon subscriber records were leaked from an Amazon storage server controlled by an employee of Nice Systems, an Israeli-based customer engagement and compliance company. Data included customer names, cell phone numbers, and account PINs of customers who had called Verizon customer service. Verizon uses Nice as a third party vendor to analyze customer service interactions to improve customer service. Earlier this year, hotel reservations provider Sabre's reservations system was accessed by an unauthorized party. Guests at Four Seasons, Trump Hotels and Hard Rock Hotels were affected. The tremendous growth of software as a service has enabled enterprises to integrate with increasingly specialized vendors. This, however, has resulted in customer data, including sensitive identity data, getting passed across vendors and stored in multiple locations. As a result, vendor audit and penetration testing services are also on the rise. [Read more: 1, 2]

Hello? This is a major international tournament, why even go if you're going to disrespect the trophy by taking kids? Conmebol should think twice before wasting the wild card on japan again and give the spot to a country willing to fight for the trophy, This would be big news if England took part in this tournament, and a national shame if we did what japan are doing..
sensei in japan
What? He is leaving out Kagawa again? They need some sort of experienced leadership on and off the field. I really want Japan to do well, but this coach just doesn't get it. Common sense

Lonesome Valley Brewery Beer Soap & Lip Balm
Posted by Korie Boyes on
I've been working with Lonesome Valley Brewery creating great beer based products. I made a Glassford Hill Ale & a Power Jam Porter goat milk soap. I also made a Power Jam lip balm. To make the lip balm I had to boil the alcohol out of the beer first so it's lightly flavored without the alcohol. I'm really happy with how everything turned out :). I just wish my PGF microwave had survived as nicely. I didn't have all the alcohol boiled off so after 7 seconds into a 30 second warm up before pouring POOF~ it exploded ALL...

Maybe He Needs More Spinach?
I can assure you that I'm not Dr. Matthew Liebman, so I can't accurately tell you whether or not the bursa on Pastrnak's elbow was caused by an infection. The injury is fairly common, though, and Boston centerman David Backes actually had the same treatment done for his elbow in October. My guess is that the physical nature of hockey caused the bursas to form for both Pastrnak and Backes as repeated mini-traumas or one big trauma - a fall to the ice or crash into the boards - caused the injuries to occur. Like a concussion, though, bursas can and do occur more easily for those that have previously suffered the injury, so this might not be the last time these two Bruins visit Dr. Liebman.
"David underwent a successful removal of the olecranon bursa from his right elbow on Friday, December 16 at Newton Wellesley Hospital by Dr. Matthew Liebman," Bruins general manager Don Sweeney said in a statement this morning. "He will likely be unavailable for the games on Sunday and Tuesday. His condition will be re-assessed on a day-to-day basis."
The Bruins host the Kings on Sunday and the Islanders on Tuesday before heading out on the road before visiting the Panthers and Hurricanes on Thursday and Friday, respectively, prior to the Christmas break. I assume that the Bruins will keep Pastrnak off the ice for the next week, but he is chasing Sidney Crosby in the goal-scoring trace so perhaps we'll see him back. Regardless of him chasing Crosby, Pastrnak has been an offensive force for the Bruins this season so getting him back in the lineup sooner than later is good for the team.
"It is not easy when you hear that kind of news when one of your better players isn't here," Bruins coach Claude Julien told Rich Thompson of the Boston Herald. "That is one of the challenges you have to face and get through.
"We will certainly do our best and get some wins here without him and hopefully it is shorter than longer and that is all we can do."
Thankfully, it's not a long-term injury. As stated above, it can flare up again, but I'm sure the Boston training staff will keep a close eye on Pastrnak's elbow for the next little while. While I'm not sure what nickname the Bruins have for him, Pastrnak's new name could be "Popeye" with that elbow. If nothing else, I'd expect his locker to be filled with cans of spinach when he gets back from his injury!
Until next time, keep your sticks on the ice!

Guard Fest - Day 1
So this week sees me free of college, work and any other commitments and only a fortnight away from doubles with little to know work done on my guard.
The plan therefore is to finish all 750 points this week to a gaming standard then next week do my objective markers and a few fancy touches.
So on today. I had all the guard built and 90% sprayed but I A.D. has recently given me some of the "Cadian Hostile Environment" torsos, so with a little conversion I changed one squad of ten (and heavy weapons base) to have the torsos. It has led to me wanting the whoel force with them but time is of the essence.
The colour scheme is pretty basic,
1) Spray "Chaos Black"
2)Base coat "Adeptus Battle Grey"
3) Wash "Badab Black"
4) Drybrush the fatigues "Codex Grey"
5) Drybrush the fatigues "Fortress Grey"
6)Paint "Ice Blue" on to the tubing, "Tallarn Flesh" on to the hands and "Merchite Red" on to the lenses.
7)High lights and touch ups as needed
More tomorrow when day two is over
