Seven craziest moments of Man Utd legend Eric Cantona including fan attack, bizarre trawler press conference and spat with Neymar
The former French international recently hit the headlines for uploading a bizarre pornographic video on Instagram
IF YOU'VE seen Eric Cantona's recent Instagram post, detailing a rather ingenious way to crack an egg, you'll know that he's a man that does things his own way.
The Manchester United legend once again caused a stir online after he uploaded a bizarre pornographic video of a man smashing an egg with his penis.
But we shouldn't be surprised by his antics.
After all, the mercurial Frenchman has been at it his entire life.
It's like his former manager at Leeds United, Howard Wilkinson, said: "Eric likes to do what he likes, when he likes, because he likes it… and then f*** off."
1. Those brushes with the football authorities…
In 1989, Cantona was suspended indefinitely by Marseille having deliberately hoofed the ball into the crowd and then thrown his shirt at the referee during a friendly against Torpedo Moscow.
The reason?
He had been substituted. In a friendly.
Two years later, when playing for Nimes, he was also banned for three games for throwing a ball at a ref.
When he turned up at the disciplinary hearing, however, he decided to give it to them with both barrels, calling each committee member an "idiot" to their faces.
When his ban was then increased to two months, Cantona announced his retirement from football, albeit temporarily.
Eric likes to do what he likes, when he likes, because he likes it… and then f*** off.Howard Wilkinson
2. That moment of merde-ness with Michel…
While Cantona's record of 20 goals in 45 caps for France is not too shabby, he very nearly ended his international career almost as soon as it had started.
A year after his international debut, Cantona was dropped from the squad by then manager Henri Michel – and he wasn't going to take it lying down.
During an interview on national television, Cantona called Michel "a bag of s**t" and subsequently refused to take it back.
The result? A year-long international ban.
Luckily for Cantona, Michel was sacked soon after and the new manager, Michel Platini, had no hesitation in reinstating him to Les Bleus.
3. That set-to with Simmons…
On 25 January 1995, Manchester United had travelled south to London to play Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park.
Second in the table, they had lost just one their last 16 games but three minutes in to the second half Cantona was given a red card for kicking out at the Eagles' defender Richard Shaw.
As he left the field of play, he responded to taunts from a Palace supporter, 20-year-old Matthew Simmons, and snapped, launching himself at him with a flying kung-fu kick before trying to land a few punches for good measure.
And what exactly did Simmons say to so infuriate the Frenchman?
Well, he maintained that all he had said was "Off! Off! Off! It's an early bath for you, Mr. Cantona!"
A likely story.
4. That puzzling presser…
Not surprisingly, the Football Association threw the book at Cantona and his punishments ranged from a club fine of £20,000 and a ban for the rest of the season to an FA sanction of an eight-month ban and a further £10,000 fine.
He would also receive 120 hours of community service.
After his sentencing, Cantona called a press conference but said just one thing…
"When the seagulls follow the trawler, it is because they think sardines will be thrown into the sea," he said cryptically.
The football world wasn't impressed, not least former United midfielder Gordon Strachan.
"If a Frenchman goes on about seagulls, trawlers and sardines, he's called a philosopher," he suggests.
"I'd just be called a short Scottish bum talking crap."
5. That destruction of Deschamps…
Nobody was safe from the tongue of Eric, not even his teammates.
In 1996, Cantona laid waste to his former French international colleague Didier Deschamps before United played Juventus, calling him a "water carrier".
He went further...
"You can find players like him (Deschamps) on every street corner," shrugged Eric.
"At present Didier likes to act like a monk and a moralist but he'll end up wallowing in every kind of vice."
6. That feud with Neymar…
During the epic culmination to Manchester United's Champions League win over Paris Saint-Germain earlier in the season, tensions between PSG's sidelined talisman and a jubiliant Cantona almost boiled over in the stands, with security having to step in to calm matters down.
But it didn't end there.
Cantona took to social media soon after, posting an image of the Brazilian alongside a caption that questioned Neymar's stomach for the fight.
He said: "Just like the barbecue, you take it out in the spring when the sun begins to shine."
It's not the first time he's a had a dig at Neymar.
Check out his impression of him here…
7. Those interesting acting roles…
Having retired from the game in 1997, Cantona turned his hand, as well as another body part, to acting.
In 2013, he appeared in a film called You And The Night in which he played the role of L'Etalon, or 'The Stallion'.
The clue's in the name.
Described by little more than a soft-core porn flick, Cantona had to wear a large prosthetic, erm, you know what for his appearance but insisted it was all in the name of art.
"Porn? No, it's not porn," he said. "It's beautiful. You should see it. Unfortunately, porn is not so aesthetic and so beautiful. But love is sex also, you know?"
Whatever you say Eric, whatever you say.

Animals to Weeds
Virus - Tulip Color Breaking
Not all foliage or bloom concerns are Virus-based.
Plants "catch" a virus similar to the way we become victims to a head cold or influenza. Sucking insects, such as aphids, can transfer virus diseases from plant to plant and should be controlled in the garden. All garden-grown plants, whether lily, iris or tulips have one or more viruses present in the tissues. Trouble doesn't start until several different viruses find a home in the same plant. A plant can grow quite happily with one or two different strains of virus, but will begin to show streaking and twisting in the leaves, and eventual death, if several more strains are added. This is similar to an office worker functioning with a simple head cold, but add the flu... and we are in bed for days upon days.
The flower shown is heavily infected with Tulip Color Breaking Virus, which is what causes the crazy markings on the old "Rembrandt" tulip mixtures from decades past.
Regularly inspect your garden throughout the growing season, bearing in mind that some cultivars may have suspicious-looking foliage early in the season, but look great later. This is due to environmental issues, not virus.
If in a group of recently planted lilies all look great except one, keep an eye on the one which looks unhealthy, but check for outside factors also. Mechanical damage to the sprout, insect activity, or competition from overly aggressive trees, shrubs or ground covers will all cause stress to the bulb. It is best to control aphids, and wait until early the next season before passing judgment on suspicious-looking foliage or flowers. Relocating bulbs to better-drained soil, adding humus, or providing trace elements will many times correct foliage concerns, plus improves flowering.
Note: The old-fashioned Tiger Lily
(Lilium tigrinum)
, with those tall, orange reflexed flowers, that were probably in your Grandmother's garden, is heavily infected with viruses. Do not plant these with other hybrids; instead keep them isolated by at least 100 feet from other hybrid lilies to be safe. Lily producers consider L. tigrinum to be a 'Typhoid Mary' in the garden. True growers would never consider offering this Lilium species to their garden customers, because it is a ticking time bomb for virus.

Disinfected Your Carburetor
I'm going to apprise you Disinfected away your carburettor. Alot of gunk and grime can constitute up in your carburettor
1. You can Disinfected a carburettor two contradistinctive ways. One you can remove the carburettor ( study my other article for this). Or remove the top of the carburettor. It is alot easier to remove the carburettor completely so you are not posses to bend over under the hood for awhile.
This will spray out and the fuel jets just in case there is crap in them. Use the air compressor to shoot out ever orifice in the carburetor. Last wipe it down to remove any other dirt that need to be remove.
Remove the 6 to 8 bolts in the top of the carburetor. Set the bolt aside.
3. Remove the lid of the carburetor. Get a can of carburetor cleaner and spray out down everything really good.
4. Next get a air compressor and spray in ever little hole.2. So coextensive i said i would reccomend removing the carburettor. Allot yourself up some deposit to employment on it adoration a business table or in my case a TV tray.Disconnect the linkage from the lid of the carburetor to the side of the carburetor.
5. Put the carburetor back together and put it back the vehicle.

Caves à manger are fun little wine shops that serve small sharing plates with their wine. They are popular with Parisians as places to socialise during apero (short for aperitif) from 6-8:30pm before and (often) after dinner.
Before you go, know that cave à mangers are not the same as wine bars (bar a vins) – here's your quick cheat sheet to know the difference.
Cave à vins: A wine store.
Cave à Manger: This is a contraction of "cave à vins" and "salle à manger." These are wine stores whose license requires them to serve wine with food, so they serve light snacks to accompany wine sold in the shop. They are a good value as you only pay a small corkage fee which is less expensive than a wine bar.
Bar à Vins: This is a wine bar that functions like a restaurant, but not at all formal. Menus are a la carte, and choices ranges from light to heavy so that you can order several plates to share. Popular wine bars are Frenchie Wine Bar, The Clown Bar, and Les Enfants du Marche.
La Cave Du Paul Bert
Share seasonal plates (smoked pork w/apple, creamy Burrata etc.), with natural wine at Bistrot Paul Bert's fun little sister wine bar is open all day every day until 11pm (if there is a good crowd it can go much later)
Septime La Cave
Septime's satellite bottle shop-wine bar across the street was my shoe repair shop before Bertrand & Theo transformed it into a cool neighborhood gathering spot for natural wine.
La Buvette Wine Bar
Camille Fourmont transformed this little vintage dairy shop on a sleepy street into a cult wine bar-shop that draws industry folk from all over the world who meet here for delicious tapas plates & bottles.
L'Avant Comptoir Wine Bar
Yves Camdeborde's fun charcuterie-pork-tapas wine bar is hidden behind a clear curtain with a "pig" painted on it. Just step inside to join locals at the bar tucking into the corn bread, aged ham, salted butter, foie gras burgers, incredible small plates & natural of wine.
La Cave A Michel
"Top Chef" Romain Tischenko's cave a manger is extremely popular with the food & wine industry, especially on Sunday night – who eat & drink standing at the bar grazing on small plates and bottles of natural wine. If you like what you are drinking, definitely buy it to go, it may be the only place you'll find it.

I met Whitney and Dave in Lafayette Square for pre-ceremony photos, then the couple said their vows. Afterwards, we took additional photos around the Lafayette Square area. Whitney is an Attorney and Dave works in Logistics. The busy couple took some time off to fly in from Toronto, Canada to have their wedding ceremony here. Whitney explained that she has always wanted to elope and both she and Dave loved the idea of Savannah, so it was a perfect fit. They chose Lafayette Square because of the beautiful fountain. Early in the planning phase, I found out Whitney's family has a ski chalet near Holimont and Holiday Valley in Ellicotville, NY. Its just a few minutes away from my parent's house and where I grew up and also enjoyed skiing so I was excited to meet up with these two! Toronto is one of my favorite cities, and its truly an honor to have someone who already lives in such an amazing city select Savannah as the romantic destination for their wedding ceremony. Whitney and Dave began dating met when they were sixteen and have been together for over ten years. Recently, they got ship tattoos to celebrate their tenth anniversary. We also came across an azalea which happened to be in bloom. Normally, they bloom in the spring, so it was neat to find one in September. We took a photo of one of the blooms with Whitney's ring which is so beautiful! Its an antique from the 1940's…I love everything vintage so of course I had to ask about it–Whitney later told me "When I saw it, I knew it had to be mine– I love it."
Hotel Accommodations: Marshall House
Whitney's Dress: American Eagle
Salon – Colorboxx – Savannah
Bride's Jewelry: Wedding Ring – Antique; Pearl Necklace – Vintage, a gift from bride's parents

Could your body use a cleanse? The holidays can be draining. After a month of mingling, jingling and Kris Kringle-ing, your body is begging you for a detox from the greasy grub, candy-like cocktails and never ending nights.
It's time to exercise the holiday spirit from your system. The following cleansing circuit stimulates circulation, soothes tight, tired muscles, calms the mind, flushes toxins and brings your body back to life. Feel recharged and rejuvenated by repeating this routine three times.
Breathe Easy, 25 deep breaths
- Begin by sitting on a mat or carpeted floor. Position the legs into a diamond shape and press the bottoms of your feet together.
- Slowly lower your torso to the floor. Rest your arms, palms down, at the sides of your body. Protect your spine by pushing your lower back into the floor rather than arching at the base.
- Take 25 slow, calming breaths from this position.
Confident Cobra, 10 repetitions
- From a prone position, place your hands on either side of your chest, keeping your elbows tucked close to your body.
- Inhale fully as you push through your palms, lifting your torso until there is a slight stretch in your abdomen. Keep your neck relaxed and gaze forward. For those with sensitive lower backs, push through your forearms rather than palms for a softer stretch.
- Hold for five counts then release, bringing your chest back down to the floor. Repeat 10 times.
Healthy Hip Hinge, 20 second hold per side
- Begin on all fours and bring your right leg in front of your body so your ankle is positioned between the left side of your hip and left hand.
- Slide your left leg back into an extended stance and gently push your weight forward to stretch your hip. Keep your hips square throughout this pose and hold for 20 seconds. Repeat on your left leg.
Plank Pulses, 10 per side
- Start by lying on your right side and prop your body weight up on your elbow and forearm. Your shoulder should be aligned below your elbow, feet stacked and your left arm elevated perpendicular to the floor.
- Keep your spine straight and neck neutral as you use your core muscles to lift your hips. Hold for two counts then lower your hips.
- Continue those pulse 10 times then switch sides.
Steady Squat, 10 repetitions
- Stand with your feet wider than hip-width apart and toes slightly turned out. Bring your arms overhead and keep them there throughout this exercise.
- Hinge back at your hips to lower your body into a squat position. Your thighs should be parallel with the floor, your bodyweight resting in your heels and your knees not extending past your toes. If you suffer from sore knees or hips, avoid a deep bend by lowering your legs slightly higher than parallel to the floor.
- Hold for five counts then push through your heels to return to the starting pose. Repeat this squat 10 times.
Jump into January with your best foot forward. Make this your healthiest year yet.

Cycle route "De Stijl" - Mondriaan meets Rietveld featuring ten sculptures by Boris Tellegen
In honour of the Mondrian to Dutch Design Year in 2017, the province of Utrecht launched a special project to tie in with the ideas of De Stijl. In a collaboration among various disciplines and five municipalities, the project brings together innovation and artistic creation to build an cycle route between the home towns of Rietveld (Utrecht) and Mondrian (Amersfoort), linked by ten unique sculptural works by artist Boris Tellegen.
From Utrecht to Amersfoort
From Kleine Singel in Utrecht, the cycle route passes through De Bilt and Den Dolder, then runs alongside the train tracks through the Soester woods up to the new western ring road to make a straight shot to Amersfoort station (or the other way around), totalling approximately 20 km.
Cycle the route
Would you to cycle this special route from Amersfoort to Utrecht? You can use a physical route map with photos of the images and a short explanation per image. Check the route (online) or download the route (pdf). Or you can obtain the route map for free of charge in Dutch and English at the tourist information centers in Amersfoort and Utrecht, but also from the museums Mondriaanhuis and Centraal Museum.
The sculptures
Boris Tellegen's ten sculptures, measuring approximately 55 cm on each side and rising more than 6.5 metres in height, resemble square columns or pillars, thus evoking a classic architectural element that also has resonances with boundary posts, totem poles and foundation piles. All have the same silhouette, but each one was designed specifically for the site where it will be erected, whether in the city, the urban fringes or surrounded by nature.
Visit the Cemtraal Museum and the Mondriaanhuis museum
As well as a quick link between Amersfoort and Utrecht, the cycle route is also conceived as a treasure hunt, along which cyclists can 'collect' the individual elements to assemble a meaningful whole. The sculptures are an enticement to cycle the whole route and thereby literally compass the entire composition. If you're hungry for more, follow the route to the Centraal Museum in Utrecht or the Mondriaanhuis in Amersfoort to dive deeper into De Stijl and to the manifold dimensions of artistic creation in general.

Consumers stronger than they appear
Bottom line Nominal retail sales declined by a surprisingly weak 0.2% in April, well below consensus expectations for a 0.2% month-over-month (m/m) increase. Meanwhile, so-called control results (which exclude autos, gas, food-service and building materials, and feed directly into the GDP report) were only breakeven, much weaker than the expected 0.3% m/m gain.
While these results are disappointing on the surface, we need to provide some context. First, already strong March results were revised higher, as their 1.7% nominal m/m increase was their strongest since September 2017. Next, combined March and April nominal retail sales results ("Mapril") rose a solid 3.4% year-over year (y/y), although that still trailed last year's very strong 4.9% Mapril gain. Finally, Mapril 2019 rose sequentially by 1.7%, compared with collectively depressed results from December, January and February. That tells us the consumer has shrugged off the fourth quarter's negative wealth effect, the federal government shutdown and the brutal winter weather, all of which contributed to the weakest Christmas spending in more than a decade and February's terrible labor market and retail sales figures.
On the positive side of the ledger, the labor market hasn't been this strong in half a century, key confidence metrics are rebounding from their winter slump and the personal savings rate remained at a healthy 6.5% in March, although it was down from an elevated 7.7% in December. These should help to spark solid Back-to-School (BTS) and Christmas spending later this year.
But consumers likely are concerned in the near term about the volatile ongoing trade dispute with China and the increase in gasoline prices. So far this year, gas prices have risen 30% to $2.90 per gallon, which could crimp GDP by perhaps three-tenths of a point annually. That could slow spending in May and June, before BTS kicks into gear during the second half of July.
Why is Mapril a two-month retail sales season? Due to the lunar and religious calendars, Passover and Easter change from year-to-year. Spring break, school holidays and family vacations typically revolve around this changing calendar during March and April, so we analyze the combined retail-sales results of both months to get a more accurate reading on the shopping season as a whole. This year, Easter Sunday fell on April 21, compared with April 1 last year, while the first night of Passover was April 19 this year, versus March 30 last year.
Solid showing in 2019 The Commerce Department reported average total retail and food-service sales of $513.8 billion for the 2-month holiday period 2019. That's a solid 3.4% y/y rise compared with a powerful 4.9% rise in 2018, the best Mapril in six years (since 2012's robust 5.6% gain).
Labor market strength The unemployment rate (U-3) plunged to 3.6% in April, a 49-year low (3.5% in December 1969). Initial weekly unemployment claims, a critically important leading employment indicator, also hit a 49-year cycle low (matching September 1969) of 193,000 in the April survey week. And February's 3.4% y/y wage growth is a 10-year high. If consumers are working and wage gains are flowing, then consumer spending should continue to improve.
Confidence metrics rebound After achieving multi-decade cycle highs last year, confidence plummeted over the winter months, as businesses and consumers fretted about the risk of recession. But as those fears have recently faded, business and consumer confidence has rebounded sharply, which should help to fuel continued solid spending trends over the course of this year.
- Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index rose to an 18-year high of 101.4 in March 2018, before plunging to 91.2 in January 2019. But today, the preliminary May reading leapt to a new cycle high of 102.4.
- Leading Economic Indicator (LEI) rose in September 2018 to an all-time 58-year cycle high of 111.5. But the index went sideways the next five months, slipping to a bottom of 111.4 in January 2019. The April index then reversed, rising to a new cycle high of 112.1
- The National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) small-business optimism index rose to a 44-year high of 108.8 in August 2018, but fell sharply to 101.2 in January 2019. It has since risen to 103.5 in April 2019.
- Conference Board Consumer Confidence soared to an 18-year high of 137.9 in October 2018, before falling to a trough of 121.7 in January 2019. It has since rebounded to 129.2 in April 2019.

Broms Asset Management was formed to create, manage, and market high-capacity investment strategies benchmarked against major indices. Through Applied InvestmentScience™, we use a general artificial intelligence framework to extract statistical content from any market factor leading to advanced portfolio construction and management.
Strategies are uniquely designed to outperform over time in both up and down markets and constructed and managed from a specified combination of factors that together seek to deliver strong, risk-adjusted and risk-managed returns. Securities and weightings in each strategy are based on pre-established parameters. The weight of each security in our strategies is determined for growth potential based on assessment of the security's fundamental value and additional criteria that taken together form part of the security selection, ranking and duration management processes. To minimize risk, portfolio composition is long only and non-leveraged without use of derivatives. Annualized turnover is engineered to be ~50% and is managed for tax-efficiency.
Management has developed a deep and growing portfolio of strategies targeting the large, mid, and total U.S. and International capitalization markets – a +$8 trillion target. The business model includes showcasing performance and market data leading to the commercialization of high-capacity funds which have mass appeal and can scale into multi $ billion funds without the usual capacity limits of alternative type strategies.
Targeted strategies include core, growth and value versions of the S&P 500, Russell 1000, Russell 2000, Russell 3000, U.S. Technology, U.S. Financials, U.S. Industrials, MSCI EAFE Large, and MSCI Emerging Markets.
To better align with accredited investors and institutional clients, compensation is based on a unique Contingent Performance Fee Structure wholly dependent on realizing monthly cumulative total returns greater than a stated benchmark plus 1.00% annualized, after transaction costs.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has issued an Order granting Broms AM an exemption from certain provisions of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, to permit the offering of NextShares. The Order was issued on a fast track, 34 business days following application — a clear indication of the SEC's interest for greater shareholder protection and efforts supporting the commercialization of NextShares.
We are considering launching AI SCI NextShares exchange-traded managed funds implemented through a series of large seed investments.
To learn more, please contact Todd Broms by email at email@example.com or call 646-345-5566.Launch of AI SCI NextShares funds is conditional upon regulatory approvals including registration statement(s) declared to be effective, the likelihood and timing of which cannot be predicted, along with various other agreements to be executed which might not be executed.

NextShares™ exchange-traded managed funds are a new way to invest in actively managed strategies. They are designed for active management with the cost and tax efficiencies of exchange trading. NextShares maintain the confidentiality of proprietary investment research and current portfolio trading information that exchange-traded funds ETFs lack.
NextShares offer significant advantages over both mutual funds and ETFs as vehicles for active investment strategies, thus solving serious problems that the SEC and others recognize in the conventional mutual fund structure.
NextShares uniquely list and trade their shares on the Nasdaq exchange at prices directly linked to the fund's next-determined daily net asset value, using a new trading protocol called "NAV-based trading." Because NextShares trade at known premiums or discounts to NAV, unlike ETFs, the cost to buy and sell NextShares can be controlled and is always transparent.
NextShares can invest in all the same strategies and asset classes as mutual funds. NextShares funds may include equity, income, alternative and multi-asset funds managed in a wide range of active styles.
NextShares are bought and sold in secondary market trades through a brokerage account, much like buying and selling exchange-listed stocks and ETFs. An important distinction is that the price of all NextShares trades equals the fund's next end-of-day net asset value per share (NAV), plus or minus a trading cost (premium/discount) determined in the market when the order executes. As an illustration, a NextShares trade executed intraday at NAV +$0.02 will have a final price of $20.02 if the fund's NAV determined at the end of that day is $20.00. This patented new trading method, called "NAV-based trading," is a key innovation underlying NextShares.
In 2011, Following Eaton Vance's acquisition of intellectual property which today serves as core innovation underpinning NextShares, Eaton Vance formed NextShares Solutions LLC to develop and commercialize NextShares and enter into license and services agreements with Eaton Vance and other fund sponsors to permit the offering of licensed NextShares funds.
The first NextShares fund began trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC in February 2016. Funds from multiple sponsors have since been introduced across a range of assets classes, with more launches expected in the coming months.
A number of leading investment managers have launched NextShares funds, have entered into preliminary agreements with NextShares Solutions, or have filed exemptive relief applications to offer NextShares. NextShares funds may operate across the full spectrum of asset classes and investment approaches that are available today as mutual funds, and may replicate their sponsors' most proven and successful fund strategies.
Fund Sponsors:
In November 2017, UBS Financial Services Inc. became the first full-service wealth manager to offer licensed NextShares through its financial advisor network.
Individual investors, financial advisors, and institutions may purchase and sell shares of NextShares through UBS, Folio Investing® and Folio Institutional®, and Interactive Brokers Group, Inc., leading broker-dealers. Other important broker-dealer readiness is expected to be announced and roll-out in the coming months.

Now that you know about the moving. Whew! That was a relief to finally get that off my mind!
I can tell you one of the sad stories that resulted from it.
Do you remember my big, ole Desk ? (affiliate link)
Well, apparently, I never took a pic of it. Anyway, suffice it to say, it was a huge thing, with a Hutch on top. And heavy. (affiliate link)
When we moved out of Peaceful, the guys put the hutch out by the road. It was just too big and bulky to take.
When we got to the new place, unloading the desk, it just collapsed.
So, it was respectfully placed by the side of the road. Have you ever had a piece of furniture commit suicide, because it was so angry at being moved AGAIN??
Maybe it was just sick, AND tired…

April 5, 2020 - Latest: What has happened to markets this year? by Darius McDermott
2nd April 2012
Merger and acquisition activity has had a difficult twelve months. As recently as last week, the Financial Times was still predicting a dismal year for investment banks as companies put off dealmaking. "With companies spooked by the uncertainty triggered by the eurozone debt crisis, five successive quarters of falling M&A volumes have depressed fees. Global M&A volumes dropped to $393.2bn, down 14.6 per cent on the fourth quarter of 2011, according to Mergermarket. The collapse in fees has set up expectations among some senior executives of a shake-up in the industry, with leading banks grabbing greater market share."
The weakness was confirmed by the Ernst & Young M&A Tracker showed that globally, deal values were down 13 per cent from the last quarter of 2011.
A recent survey from Thompson/Reuters suggested that companies were more likely to borrow to secure better long-term financing arrangements rather than to do deals. It said: "The outlook for merger and acquisition financings remains muted. Strategics and private equity buyers may be sitting on cash, but are reluctant to pull the trigger on new M&A transactions. A few factors are at play: the buyer/seller mismatch given a rapid rise in valuations, an election year and global macroeconomic uncertainty."
So how can the latest round of merger and acquisition activity be explained? The Ernst & Young report found a small upswing in average deal volumes, prompting Dave Murray, transaction advisory services markets leader at Ernst & Young, to say: "(This) could indicate an increase in confidence among buyers-who while still cautious about undertaking transactions, are more willing to push through larger deals."
In the Financial Times article, Wilhelm Schulz, head of Emea M&A at Citigroup, said: "There is always a time-lag with M&A from when leading indicators become positive. All things being equal there will be a recovery in deal activity. It is already materialising in the intensity of strategic dialogue with corporates and solid pipeline growth. A bright spot for banks has been a revival in debt sales, which in the first quarter overtook M&A as a driver of fees for the first time since early 2009, highlighting improving funding conditions for companies."
These recent deals certainly do not indicate a free-for-all. ValueAct, for example, decided not to make a bid for Misys, despite holding a stake of 21.5%., suggesting buyers continue to be selective in the way they approach merger and acquisition, but it appears that some larger companies are willing to open their wallets for the right company.
On the boards, few see a significant shift for the M&A industry, believing that it is, by its nature cyclical: raj pipla on the FT says: "On the Serengeti, the lions have an abundance of kills for six months and then a long dry season that culls the good from the great. Nitin Sharma on the same site suggests that the industry will have to reinvent itself: "Distressed debt is the place to be – we are going to see a lot of that. PE firms and hedge funds, who do their due diligence, will be rewarded immensely."
On their own, these recent deals do not necessarily suggest that the market is turning. However, bigger companies with cash are starting, tentatively, to reinvest. It may be a sign that companies are finally starting to spend again, but it will be some time before a clear trend emerges.

Looking to move to or in Surrey but not sure whereabouts you should settle? Here are our top five favourite towns in the county to live.
There's a reason values of homes in Surrey's county town hold their price. Guildford is at the epicentre of all things Surrey with a thriving theatre and social scene, some of the best shopping outside of London and a whole host of top performing schools. Trains into the city run four times per hour at peak times and take as little as 43 minutes to get to London Waterloo.
With one of the shortest train times to London in Surrey (26 minutes to London Waterloo), Woking is a popular hotspot for commuters. But there's further reason to move to this former industrial town; in 2017, the Office of National Statistic's annual happiness and wellbeing survey found Woking the happiest place in Surrey and the eighth happiest place in the UK.
It's not just us that think Godalming is a great place to live, last year the pretty town made its inaugural appearance of the annual Sunday Times best places to live list, which considers factors such as crime and education statistics, culture and community spirit, reliable connections, scenery and even the weather.
The market town of Dorking is surrounded by some of the most beautiful countryside (the chalky slopes of Box Hill are a popular tourist attraction) and prettiest villages in Surrey and, with its three nearby stations, is a popular commuting spot. Famous for holding the largest poultry market in England in the 17th century, Dorking still hosts a traditional market each Friday and is fast becoming a foodie hotspot thanks to new independent restaurants, butchers and delis which have opened in the town.
Said to have the highest number of first-class season ticket holders in the country, and less than 50 minutes to London by train, Haslemere is popular amongst busy professionals working in the city. Georgian and Victorian houses line leafy lanes and the town, which has a plethora of independent shops and cafes including a baker, fishmonger and deli, is surrounded by open countryside. The town has a number of excellent independent and Oftsted 'outstanding'-rated schools.

Benchmarking resolution endorsed by BC government association
Earlier this month, the Lower Mainland Local Government Association (LMLGA) of British Columbia, representing a large proportion of British Columbia's population encompassing the area between Whistler, Hope and Tsawwassen, endorsed an energy benchmarking resolution.
If approved by the province, the resolution will empower local governments to require annual reporting of building energy use data to allow for comparison benchmarking between similar buildings. Further, the resolution will grant local governments the authority to enable the public release of non-confidential and non-competitive building energy benchmarking information.
For more details on the Benchmarking Tools for Building Energy Use, visit the Lower Mainland Local Government Association web page.
Why you don't want to ignore ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager for buildings
Whether you manage a large portfolio or only a few buildings, ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager is an indispensable tool to benchmark your real estate, increase asset value, and gain energy savings. There is no reason not to start energy benchmarking, now that ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager and ENERGY STAR ratings are available in Canada.
The program has already gained momentum in the U.S., where approximately 40 percent of the commercial marketFootnote 1 is already benchmarking with Portfolio Manager. Here in Canada, approximately 14 percent of floor space has already enrolled in the tool and the numbers are growing on a daily basis. Not only are property owners and managers benchmarking, but they are also looking for ways to increase their ENERGY STAR score in their commitment to energy efficiency.
Why should you embark on energy benchmarking with ENERGY STAR? First, do it for your bottom line. Higher ENERGY STAR scores can raise an asset's profitability by increasing rental income and decreasing operating costs. In fact, studiesFootnote 2 have shown that buildings that benchmark with ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager have lower operating costs, are more marketable, and command higher rental rates compared to other buildings.
Second, initial benchmarking is just the start of a journey of continuous improvement for the buildings in your portfolio. The higher the ENERGY STAR score, the better your building's energy performance relative to its peers. Moreover, as you increase your score over time, more financial rewards will be achieved. Increasing an asset's score can mean picking away at the list of measures identified in an energy audit, properly shutting down a building at night, and/or identifying underperforming equipment through recommissioning.
Finally, laws in some jurisdictions in the U.S. require building owners to disclose energy use information. While this is not yet the case in Canada, why not be prepared? Get a head start now and benchmark with ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager and begin saving today.
Finally, some jurisdictions in Canada are pursuing or already have in place some form of mandatory disclosure, why not be prepared by using Portfolio Manager.
Visit our Energy benchmarking web pages for more information to help you get started.
Congratulations to Ralph Mayfield Energy Efficiency Champion of New Brunswick Premier's Awards for Energy Efficiency 2014
"It's so important to take advantage of every opportunity possible to reduce our energy costs in in health care," says Ralph Mayfield, Director of Physical Resources for Horizon Health Network, Saint John, New Brunswick. Mayfield comments that "making our operations as efficient as possible is my passion." Mayfield's passion to make the health care facility's operations as efficient as possible have also garnered him a 2014 New Brunswick Premier's Award for Energy Efficiency in the Energy Efficiency Champion-Individual category.
Reducing energy costs is exactly what Mayfield has done at the Saint John Regional Hospital. Through measures such as the installation of a new chiller programmed for maximum optimization and efficiency, he has avoided about $85,000 in annual electricity costs.
Mayfield's policy: "when something breaks, don't simply fix it; look for ways to improve it". This approach often results in an improved workplace and patient environment. One example is the replacement of patient room night lights. With 630 night lights at 5W each, approximately $1,000 per year in energy costs was spent on night lights alone. Mayfield's solution was to switch to 2.4W LED light strips. This will save money on electricity costs and the cost of maintenance staff to replace bulbs. Additionally, the light strips are also brighter and more focused, reducing light disturbance in the middle of the night while patients sleep.
Under Mayfield's leadership, the facility reduced energy consumption by 2.7 million equivalent kWh or about $227,000 in 2013 compared to 2011. Mayfield and others were honoured at the sixth annual Premier's Awards, which recognize innovation and leadership in energy efficiency in New Brunswick. Some of the other Premier's Award winners include: HSBC Place Ross Ventures Inc. (Commercial Retrofit); Le Foyer Notre-Dame-de-Lourdes (Commercial New Construction); and Champlain Place (Commercial Sector).

ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager: FAQs
Since going live a year ago, we have seen a strong uptake of Portfolio Manager in Canada. We are providing you with some FAQs that may help to address issues you may have experienced. For answers to any other questions you may have, e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com. You might see your question featured in a future issue of the newsletter.
The questions featured below are taken from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's ENERGY STAR Buildings FAQ page:
Q. What browsers does Portfolio Manager support?
A. Portfolio Manager supports the 3 most popular web browsers:
- Firefox (version 16 or greater)
- Internet Explorer (version 9 or greater)
- Google Chrome (version 10 or greater)
The functionality of all browsers can be affected by your security settings. If you have the highest security settings (that don't allow any cookies), you may experience functionality issues.
Q. What's the difference between my "property" Gross Floor Area (GFA) and my "use total" GFA?
A. The Property GFA is the Gross Floor Area (GFA) you entered when you first created the property. You can edit this from the Details Tab by clicking Edit under "Basic Information".
The Use Total GFA is the sum of the individual GFA for each of our property uses, excluding parking. Portfolio Manager calculates this number. The only way to change it is to change the GFAs for one or more of your property uses.
As an example, say you have an office building with 100 000 square feet [9300 m2] (Property GFA). But the office use is only 60 000 square feet [5600 m2] and the other 40 000 square feet [3700 m2] is a hotel. So you would have an Office Use with a GFA of 60 000 and a Hotel Use with a GFA of 40 000 (60 000 + 40 000 = 100 000 Use Total GFA).
You will get a warning notice if your Property GFA does not equal your Use Total GFA. The purpose of this comparison is to help you make sure that you've accounted for all uses in your building. This is provided as an informational alert but does not affect metric calculations. Your metric calculations are based on your Use Total GFA.
Q. If I update the property use details for a child property will the parent property automatically be updated?
A. No, because of the wide variety of ways that people benchmark multi-building properties, Portfolio Manager does not automatically synchronize changes or updates that you make to the use details for individual (child) buildings with the property as a whole (parent or campus), or vice versa. If your property has more than one building, it is important that you keep your use details updated at both the parent property and individual building (children) levels so that your ENERGY STAR score and other metrics are accurate.
For example, say you may have created a multi-building property to represent a college campus. You entered the college as (parent) property and several individual (child) buildings for each physical building that make up the campus. When you initially create the campus, you are asked to provide use details for the "College/University", which includes use of each building on the campus. When you create each individual (child) building, you are asked to provide use details only for that individual building (library, dormitory, laboratory, office, etc.). Information provided for each individual building does not "roll up" to the use details for the parent property. If/when the use details for an individual building changes (for example, the number of workers increases), you need to manually update the use details for that individual building AND make a corresponding update to the use details for the parent property. It is important that you keep your use details updated at both the parent property and individual building levels so that your ENERGY STAR score and other metrics are accurate for both your property AND your individual buildings.
You can update or correct use details from the "Details" tab for the property. A list of uses provided for the property is displayed in the upper right corner of the tab. To update use details, select "Update with New Information" from the Action menu for the corresponding use. To correct use details, select "Correct Mistakes" from the Action menu for the corresponding use. When you are done updating/correcting property use details, you can access each individual building on the campus from the "Summary" tab for the property. Then view a list of uses provided for the individual building in the upper right corner of the "Details" tab. Corrections or updates are made to buildings in exactly the same way that they are made to the parent property.

March 15, 2019
As the Associate Dean for Curricular Affairs, I was asked to say a few words to the senior class of medical students a few mniutes before they opened their envelopes to find out where they had matched. The large auditorium was packed with the students, their family members and friends and faculty who had been their advisers and mentors for the past few years. The white envelopes were lined up on serveral tables covered with black tablecloths in the front of the room. The hall was festooned with balloons and ribbons. Several large monitors were counting down the time to 12:00 Noon EST. Many cameras were capturing every moment from every perspective. The event was being livestreamed for those who could not attend in person. The tension in the hall was palpable, filled with a low hum of nervous chatter.
The medical school leardership team had 30 minutes to say a few words before the mad rush for the tables when the clock struck 12:00. For the students it would be the most challenging exercise in mindfulness to focus on these words while their minds would keep wandering to how their life journey would take a most significant step in a few mnutes. Each Dean got 1-2 minutes to speak.
So what can you tell anyone in such a setting? What do you tell someone who has set their eyes on this moment as an ultimate prize? Is this the time to even begin to suggest that what they might think of as the most important thing in their lives is not that important after all?
So here is what I ended up saying:
"As you focus on that envelope lying a few feet away, I hope you remember that what is inside you is far more important than what is inside that envelope. You have spent a lifetime acquiring and building your character, integrity, caring and respect for others, empathy and resilience. Nurturing and building upon these qualities is far more important thant where you will work for the next few years.
The main purpose of life is to be happy. Happiness has almost nothing to do with getting what you think you want or need, and everything to do with being grateful for who you have. Like being grateful for all the family, friends, teachers and well-wishers who have rooted for you all your life. Being happy is doing something good for others. If you are ever sad, find something good and meaningful that you can do for someone in need and you will feel better. In a way, that is your job for the rest of your life as a physician, an you get paid to do this everyday!
Happiness is knowng that this was the last time that someone will judge you and make a decision about you by distilling you worth down to a 3-digit score.
So go forth and be happy!"

Countdown Begins!
David Adams replied to Quiet One's topic in F1 DiscussionsHRT to take the season opening win, heard it here first! Least thats why I reckon they are delaying their new car, must be so uber super duper to keep it hidden so long :-P
Those air inlets for driving cooling (or hydraulic cooling in some cases) is considerably smaller then the current RBR inlet, it's like comparing a hand held 2 AA battery fan against a 24" desktop cooling fan! There is no relation between the two!
Surprisingly I've been registered here for years, but haven't posted for some time - I'd like to blame the English government for this - they usually have some way of screwing things over, so why not :-P
We have to waste our warships by using them somewhere, makes no difference where - in reality that destroyer was going to sail around somewhere, so it's not like it's cost anything to send it there instead of some random place nobody has ever heard of! Also, I hear that we won the Island in a bingo competition, so it's ours, end of :-D ...One last thing, no idea who Steve nor Paul are. So I've decided to watch a dancing banana instead of reply to whatever that paragraph refers to :-D Yey look at it dance! :-D
Just to add some controversy to an all too civil thread, down with Argentina! Up with the Brits! It's ours, want it? Come and try to take it! Ner ner ner ner ner ner! :-P I quite like how we are only defending what the Island has requested however - they wanted to stay under English rule, seems fair enough to me.
Exactly what I thought, the most fabled of designers that isn't willing to base a cars design around anything, including drivers, all of a sudden has a change of heart and makes a nice big hole in the nose just for driver comfort! Either he's getting soppy in old age, or told a small porky there! Just wait for the other drivers to go peaking in the c#ckpit during Parc Ferme in Melborune, a la Vettel on the McLaren F-Duct :-P
A work of art, certainly compared with 2012 cars anyway! The Lotus has *massive* air exhalers at the rear of its car though, looks like a sex doll with that hole!
The McLaren rear end (ohh er) I'd like to play with it's slots :-P
Haha :-P Nice to see the times coming down today too. Webber proclaimed he could do a 1.16 around this track in a Brazil spec car, so maybe the 1.18's aren't too great :-P
A lot of wind tunnel calibration checks for Ferrari perhaps? Or checking their new pull rod front suspension? Poor Massa doing all the leg work, surprised they didn't put Alonso in, he can gain 6 tenths from a car! :-D
Couldn't agree further, a work of art :-D
Ohhh foreplay! Must explain why I've been walking with a limp all day! ;-)
Haha, sounds like an Adrian Newey concept there! :-P And from the autosport feed: "08:54 Several of you have asked how the times set so far compare to last year. Very well, is the answer. Raikkonen's 1m20.514s is quicker than the 1m20.709s that Massa set when topping the first day of Jerez testing in February 2011."
Seriously? Oh very dear! Nice to see the Lotus so fast out of the box though, not many pictures of fancy innovations yet though, I'm looking forward to seeing the rear end (oh-er) of the McLaren without the 'fake plastic' bits! :-D David
Soooo How Is The Maxster Going To Fare On 3/6?
David Adams replied to Grabthaw the Hammerslayer's topic in F1 DiscussionsStrangely I go on holiday on the 3rd, off to Spain, via Paris, so if anyone would like rotten veg to be thrown in the general direction of the FIA, please forward it all to my house. I would be only too happy to oblige

(New York)
My story I need help. My wife had been talking online to a man she met. I found out they were having an emotional affair. When I confronted her we argued but it quieted down. About a week later, she asked me for a divorce and started moving all of her belongings out of the house. I gently spoke to her and asked her to work with me to make things better. She said she would then moved out after I had left for work. I didn't hear from her for a week and then found out she drove to my sisters house in California. When she called, she was drunk and was attacking me viciously. She hung up and then a week later she called me from jail. She had been arrested for a DWI. She asked me to bail her out and so I did. A few days later, she emailed me to attack me once more. I haven't heard from her since. There have been many people who have come between my wife and I with one of them being my own sister. I truly need a miracle! I need for God to remove everyone who is stopping my wife from coming home. I need God to restore my marriage! Through prayer and counseling I've been working to become who God wants me to be. I love my wife and want to take care of her. She's on a very dark and destructive path. My name is Raphael and my wife is Anita-Eve.

World Cup wrap, Day 19: Belgium pull off comeback win over Japan, Neymar leads Brazil past Mexico
The curse of the Round of 16 struck Mexico down once again, while Belgium come from 2-0 behind to win 3-2 over Japan
Today's wrap is brought to you by the number 'seven'. Lucky for some, but not, it turns out for Mexico. For the seventh World Cup in succession, El Tri exited the World Cup at the Round of 16. Mexico attacked during an even first half, but after the break – and especially after a going a goal down to Neymar's strike on 51 minutes – it never looked likely Mexico could get back into the game.
Brazil has a somewhat different relationship to the number. This is the seventh World Cup tournament in succession that Brazil has reached at least the quarter-final stage. The five-time champions did so while producing their best display of this year's competition.
Willian worked so hard there seemed to be two of him on the pitch, Coutinho provided the invention, Gabriel Jesus threatened, Firmino scored after his arrival as a substitute, while that man Neymar looked his sharpest yet. Add to the fact that Brazil hasn't conceded in three consecutive games and the evidence is mounting up: this is the team to beat in 2018.
Today in 30 seconds
Thirty seconds was approximately how far Japan were from taking Belgium into extra time. After taking a shock 2-0 lead after the break - Genki Haraguchi and Takashi Inui with the pinpoint strikes – Japan were pegged back to 2-2 by headed goals from Jan Vertonghen and Marouane Fellaini.
Then, as the Blue Samurai pushed for a winning goal late on, Belgium struck on the counter-attack and Nacer Chadli scored a winner four minutes into injury time. It was heartbreak for a brave Blue Samurai, but a reprieve for the criticized Belgium manager, Roberto Martinez, as his substitutes Fellaini and Chadli made the difference late on.
In the wake of Spain's shock exit and the inevitable recriminations, one thing the whole soccer world can agree upon. Andres Iniesta announced his retirement from international football and the softly-spoken magician will go down as a World Cup legend. Scorer of the goal that won the World Cup for Spain eight years ago, his dedicating that goal to the deceased Dani Jarque will live on forever. Thank you, Andres.
Play of the day
A reminder that, even in soccer's 'age of the individual', the collective is still crucial. Brazil got their breakthrough against Mexico when Neymar's clever backheel pass found Willian, who broke through the Mexican defense, then passed the ball back across the goal for Neymar to score. A wonderfully-worked team goal.
Man of the moment
Up until now, Coutinho has been the main man for Brazil. But against Mexico, Neymar came to the party. He started and finished the move that gave his team the lead, then produced the late run which gave Brazil a two-goal advantage.
Of course, the Brazilian No.10 wouldn't be who he is – a player adored and, frankly, less adored in equal measure – if there wasn't controversy too. His writhing in melodramatic agony after Miguel Layun's trod sneakily, but relatively gently, on him left a sour taste to some, particularly given how quick he was to get up and play on afterwards. Some might say we've seen the best and worst of Neymar in Russia – but today was definitely a day when the brilliant outweighed the bad.
The weird and wacky
They were weird and wacky, loud and proud. While Mexico couldn't break its Round of 16 curse, the fans that travelled to Russia won over their locals. From their eye-catching costumes to putting on a bespoke 'Day of the Dead' in Moscow attended by 5,000 Russians, the carnival atmosphere has swept through the capital city.
While many European supporters have stayed at home, fans from South and Central America have travelled to Mexico in huge numbers. Mexico's exit to Brazil means the last CONCACAF team has exited Russia 2018, but El Tri's supporters have won the hearts of the hosts – even if their side couldn't win that pesky first knockout game once more.
What's next?
England is in action against Colombia in the last of the Round of 16 games.
10 a.m. ET Sweden vs. Switzerland, FS1
2 p.m. ET Colombia vs. England, Fox

MIAMI COUNTY — Three candidates are running for two seats on the Miami County Educational Services Center governing board.
Co-owner of Bowman and Landes Turkeys Inc. Carl Bowman and general manager of Heraeus Daychem in Vandalia Neil Thiesing are incumbents, having served four and eight years respectively, while Miami County Public Health Sanitarian Janel Hodges has had eight years previous experience on the board.
Bowman's previous political experience includes 22 years serving on the Bethel Local School Board, and said his goal for office if elected is to use his experience in a positive way and to make the Miami County Educational Service Center a leading center in the state.
"I'm interested in quality public education and have a passion for all students to have an excellent opportunity for learning," he said. "Children are our future and we need to assist and mentor students to become great educated citizens."
Hodges' previous experience includes working at Newton Local Schools as a proficiency tutor to help students do well on standardized tests.
Her reason for seeking office — to provide leadership to a group of dedicated professionals while working with students — also has a personal element. Hodges is the mother of two sons, one of whom needed speech services when he was young.
"The speech therapist from our ESC provided that specialized training to help make him into a confident, successful senior at Ohio State University now," she said. "I will forever be indebted to this talented group of professionals."
Thiesing said the opportunity to serve on the ESC Board would allow him to give back to an educational system that helped him become who he is today.
"I was born and raised in Miami County and this is where my wife Lori and I are raising our children, Drew, Brock and Reese," he said. "I also have been a part owner of two small businesses over the years and with those I managed operations, budgets and personnel, all of which are valuable experiences when governing a non-profit service organization such as an ESC."
If elected, Bowman's focus will be on financial stability, hiring the best possible educational leaders, and to advocate for all the schools in the catchment area.
Hodges' goal for office is to continue to provide excellent services to the school districts as needed, as well as providing services to those in need in the ever-changing school system set down by via legislation.
"The legislators need to allow the schools to address their own issues," she said. "Continually changing standardized testing concepts doesn't help the student or the school system. Let the educators educate."
Thiesing's goal is to sustain the excellent service ESC provides the local districts currently for local children in need, but also to expand what the organizations offers the talented and gifted children in the area.

I married into a family where everyone is much shorter than me…. my husband included. We'll circle back to more on marrying someone shorter in a future post, because I think that's another topic that generates a lot of opinions worth exploring. But with my in-laws, though I tower above them, the interesting thing is we have never really discussed my height or being tall in that much depth over the past 8 years, for which I am grateful. They have always been so kind and complimentary about my build, and that's as far as the conversation on that topic has ever gone. That is until a few weeks ago when I was telling them about some of our business initiatives for this year. And the conversation and comment that came organically from my mother-in-law was such a perfect reminder of how everyone perceives height differently in this world. That alone has a tremendous impact with how the world speaks to us.
So let me explain what happened during our talk. I had just started bringing her up to speed on our new invested focus on supporting the confidence and empowerment of tall women, when she had such a look of genuine surprise on her face and said, "I'm just so shocked to hear that this is a problem because I look at tall women and think they are so beautiful and can command a room!" And that comment is so interesting and got me really thinking for a few reasons. Here's what I mean. First off, as tall women, we obviously have heard it all, the good….the bad……the annoying. Height is unique in that it tends to be the one body trait that people feel confident commenting on directly to our faces. But do you ever think about what motivates all the comments that we receive? You may disagree, but I honestly believe that the vast majority of people who say something don't do so to intentionally ruin our days. Instead, I think that they are much like my mother-in-law and assume that we are proud of our height and comfortable in our skin. To them, it's like asking someone about their prized possession and wanting to know more.
Even when they ask the dumb questions like, "Are you 7 feet tall?" or "Do you play basketball?" it's not because they are malicious and trying to bring us down. If you take a step back and think about those specific questions in a different context, they aren't negative. Nothing about the question "How tall are you" is fundamentally mean. They are just impressed (likely even jealous) of our height and are curious for the details. It's the feelings that we allow ourselves to have that makes the question negative. People generally don't ask others what they weigh because our society understands that weight is a sensitive issue. And I really believe that if they knew the insecurities we can have with our height, they wouldn't ask about it either. It's simply that they don't know and also can never relate. For example, most people have probably had times in their lives when they weren't comfortable with their weight, so it can help them feel more sympathetic towards others who also don't feel good about this aspect of themselves. But if you aren't tall, there's not a way for you to temporarily experience day to day life as a tall woman….I don't care how high your heels are. When we can't relate to each other, it's hard for others to understand our journey and perspective.
When I stop and reflect on how a conversation about my height made me feel, it's usually because of the mood I am already in that day. If I'm not feeling my best or am super tired, those questions have a much greater affect than another day when I'm more on my game. My point is it's simply our mindset and how we feel about ourselves that dictates our view of this type of commentary. I understand that it's annoying to answer the same question 14,000 times a year, BUT I would also argue that everyone has something they have to answer to, as well. If you read our conversation with Katie Willcox, she gave some fabulous advice on managing these questions and your reactions. She encourages everyone to be aware of the questions that you know you will be asked about over and over and over again, practice an answer to it and have it ready to go the next time you find yourself in that conversation. I thought that was such great advice because not only does it ensure that you have a top-notch response, but it also gets your head in a good place for it.
Let's not forget that some of the commentary is the direct result of that other person's own insecurities next to you. Trust me, I've experienced boatloads of those moments too. Have I ever told you about the time when my fellow 6'0 female colleague and myself had a meeting with a shorter man and he literally stood up on a chair to shake our hands? But again, I would circle back to my mother-in-law's comment and think about it from her perspective. What is motivating the behavior? Because your presence alone has threatened something about them and their lack of confidence is screaming. I love the quote, "Confidence is silent, insecurities are loud" for this very reason. The man who stood up on a chair wasn't trying to offend us, but rather he felt so inadequate it was his attempt to make light of the situation and get a laugh. I'll be honest, at the time it made me feel super uncomfortable temporarily but then I realized that this person, who had much more business experience than we did, was intimidated. And it was a game changer for us in that meeting. As my mother-in-law said, we commanded the room.
It's wonderful that we feel all warm and fuzzy when people compliment our height, yet we have to learn as a niche how to balance our feelings and reactions when the other comments aren't as overtly positive. It's the great disconnect we as tall women have with society, because they don't understand what it's like to walk a mile in our larger than the average size shoes. Together we can work on educating them about how to speak to us differently, but the message I'm hoping to convey through this post is that we are alone responsible for our own headspace and are in control of our thoughts and emotions we feel. If this is an area that still is a challenge for you, I would strongly encourage you to step back and think about the comments you receive from my mother-in-law's perspective. It may not work 100% of the time (that's just life for everyone), but I can assure you that more often than not it will help you balance your negative feelings. I would challenge you to always remember what my mother-in-law said, "Tall women are beautiful and can command a room."
I would love to hear your feedback and opinions on this subject. Are there other approaches that have helped you in these types of conversations? Please share with our community! <3

Snow joke in Monte-Carlo
The perennial problem posed by Rallye Monte-Carlo – how to cover ground quickly when some of the stages are half-snow, half-dry – has thrown up a number of solutions over the years. One of them was a specially-created Pirelli tyre without studs, used by Carlos Sainz to win the 1995 Monte, which you can read about here.
Some ideas were more creative than others, and in the early 1980s it was Lancia at the forefront of them, as the Italian squad was fielding the rear-wheel drive 037 Rally, which was at a considerable disadvantage in terms of overall grip compared to the revolutionary four-wheel drive Audi Quattro.
Nonetheless, Lancia finished first and second in 1983 (courtesy of Walter Rohrl and Markku Alen) ahead of both factory Audis. This was partly because conditions were largely free of ice at the end of January – which may or may not have had something to do with the trucks allegedly hired by Lancia to spread salt on the stages…
But that didn't solve the problem of snow at the very top of the Cols, and while not explicitly forbidden, salt-spreading was certainly against the spirit of the sport. So, to crack the four-wheel drive opposition, Lancia had to do something else different as well – and for inspiration, they looked to Formula 1.
