Anybody who reads the Whittler Blog as I ramble on about my investment universe will be aware that I don't overly pay much attention to short-term portfolio performance as I think that a true assessment of performance can only be made over a period of say three years and preferably five or more years. In fact, the only time real portfolio performance can finally be assessed is when Mr Grim Reaper has called; blimey, that's cheerful stuff. Let's move on quickly and have a look at the small time window of 2017/18 and see how things went.
Note: I always consider the tax year end as a time when one really does need to assess profit and loss: it simply fits in with the new tax year and therefore has to be done.
When I previously used to write about portfolio performance, I used to quote actual percentage moves and compare this to my benchmarks. However, after much discussion considering the merits of such a definite declaration approach of percentage portfolio movement over time; this deliberation included input from respected investors, I wrote in a recent article that in future I will simply say if I have beaten or failed to beat the benchmarks I measure my performance against. I will quote the various the benchmark percentage performances and then simply say if my portfolio has fallen below, matched or beaten those benchmarks. The reasoning behind this is that after a great deal of thinking and discussion with others is that your performance needs to be measured against what targets are pertinent to you. For example, what are you trying to get? Is it simply high income or steady capital growth or maybe you like the blue sky stuff. Also, and it's just an observation, it seems to be a fact of life that investors & horse racing punters are sometimes happy to report the wonderful stuff but less likely to report the poor stuff. Finally, and this is very important, somebody with let's say 10% of their savings/capital invested may well be more open to risk than say the individual with 80% of the precious dosh invested: what I am saying here is that the bigger your capital pot grows, the more likely you are to be increasingly selective with your stock selections minimising to almost zero punts and concentrating on stocks of proven quality.
At this point, I should give a reminder of my philosophy on what one should benchmark against. A very popular benchmark for investors is the FTSE All-Share Total Return with the argument that you are measuring your performance against the full market and including dividend return. Now whilst I can see the rationale for that, it is not a terribly challenging benchmark as it includes the good the bad and the ugly stocks; simply put, it's a low benchmark. My preference for more challenging benchmarking is to raise the bar a touch and find a benchmark that matches more closely your investment style. Now my investment style has a bias away from the FTSE 100 preferring smaller companies: hence one of my benchmarks is the Henderson Small Companies IT. Now don't be confused by the small companies tag on this Henderson IT as many of the companies are at least mid cap but overall quality businesses. The second benchmark I use is one that matches very much my investment philosophy in terms of companies that make very good returns on capital and good free cash flow: that benchmark is the very excellent Fundsmith. My way of thinking is that over time if I cant beat Henderson Smaller Co's IT or Funsdsmith then simply hand my money over to them and go fishing, down to the pub or whatever grabs your leisure interest. Incidentally, in a separate portfolio, I do hold a respectable investment in Fundsmith as it offers me that non-UK exposure and also an investment in Henderson Small Companies IT.
So, after painting the background rationale, how has my approach done in the financial year 2017/18?
Firstly, the main thrust of the portfolio that tends to concentrate on two mini-universes of stocks: companies that make good returns on capital & have attractive Free Cash Flow characteristics and secondly what I term as special situations, companies were something is changing for the better.
This section of the Voyager performed well in the FY 2017/18 and was comfortably ahead of all it's benchmarks in terms of total return. The benchmarks returns are shown below:
For the Voyager which currently holds a couple of dozen shares, the star performers were:
KWS @ over 100%
Stocks in the 40% to 80% range: OTB, DTG, XPP, ABDP, BVXP, & three that have been sold: RBG, ZYT, JE. & IQE. A fair number of others also earned their keep delivering in the range of 15% to 30% total return.
There were of course stocks that did not earn their keep and in the Return on Capital /FCF segment my blind spot was ITV. Other stocks that may have caused harm were jettisoned usually after a less than encouraging RNS: DTY for a small profit that could have turned into an almighty loss, FUL, GFRD that if they had not been sold would have been harmful and finally ZYT where profits were taken in stages before a 35-50% decline in share price.
The Boring Bit
As ever, I firmly believe that the art of managing a portfolio and the protection of one's capital is of almost equal importance to stock selection. When I research a stock, I spend a very significant amount of time looking at the potential downside as well as the sexy upside part. You can carry out your risk assessment during your research but unfortunately, you just don't know what the future holds. In truth, if an investor selects say 10 companies that meet their required criteria and invests in those 10, you may well find that 2 or 3 do very well indeed; another 3 or 4 do reasonably, a couple tread water and finally, a couple head slowly south. I suspect this outlook is typical for most private investors if they were to buy 10 stocks. Also, every one of us without exception will have held a stock that issues a profits warning RNS; ouch not nice but simply an occupational hazard we WILL encounter on our investment journey. What makes the crucial difference in the performance of that basket of stocks is how you actively manage those stocks. By this, I mean continually topping up the winners and jettisoning those not displaying the momentum that you desired. I am not talking about chopping & changing or being simply impatient as with quality stocks it can take time for them to grow. What I am really trying to get over is once the story/rationale behind your purchase moves from compelling to risky, you take swift action to protect your capital. With the uncomfortable situation of a profits warning RNS, I rapidly evaluate and in 95% of cases sell at the opening bell.
When confronted with the evidence that a stock for whatever reason, is proving a serious threat to one's capital, I without emotion or regret jettison that stock: self-denial & procrastination are in my view simply serious risks to portfolio performance.
Returns are of course much more correctly assessed over a much longer timescale than one FY as that's simply a snapshot in time. I really think you should consider a period of at least three and preferably five years to get a real feel for performance and with that thought in mind let's have a look at the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for my benchmarks. I believe that for all but the income/high yield investor, these should be the type of long-term returns a private investor should aim to surpass if he/she is doing reasonably well. Note: if you are relatively new to investing and did some staggering 40%+ stuff in 2017, then please don't get comfortable and think that's the norm as it simply is not the case. If you can achieve let's say a total return of 16% per year over many years, taking fully into account the good and less good years, then you will be a very successful investor. Anyway, the CAGR for my benchmarks over five years is:
Comment: in truth, if you were a touch selective with the better Investment Trusts & relied on Uncle Terry Smith for your OEIC, you would have done fairly well and had a lot of leisure time and maybe a lower blood pressure! I am not suggesting that this is the way for us private investors to go, merely my whimsical observation. Incidentally, as mentioned elsewhere, I do hold Fundsmith & a few ITs; I really am quite a fan of investment trusts but these sit in my separate passive portfolio.
The High Yield Portfolio
Turning to the High Yield portfolio, it's been a decent enough 2017/18 but not quite as outstanding as the previous year. I reckon that over time on a high yield portfolio you should set a baseline target over say five years of something in the order of an annual 6% post-tax return; you don't really want to target any lower than this in my opinion as you need some compensation/reward for the risk you are taking on the stock market. For the FY 2017/18, the high yield comfortably beat this baseline even though it was somewhat bruised by BT & SSE. So a decent income year but not quite as good as the previous FY which was maybe a touch exceptional.
Note: as ever when I seek candidates for my high yield portfolio, I seek companies whose dividends are well covered by free cash flow; the exception, of course, being the likes of utilities. Conventionally most investors look for dividend cover in terms of the ratio of EPS/DPS but as EPS is often so open to manipulation by overly eager CEOs who love their annual bonuses, I much prefer to use the ratio of the number of times that FCF covers the dividend payments. The odd miss is forgivable especially if there are obvious reasons such as capital investment to grow the business. Overall FCF is so much more difficult to apply the "smoke & mirrors" treatment to than the often manipulated EPS. Just a thought but I strongly suspect that not many companies assess the CEO/CFO bonus measured against criteria that include ROCE/CROCI trends FCF & share price combined in a set of annual bonus targets; silly me!
So, that's a quick review of FY 2017/18 with a bit of whittler philosophy plus being as ever aware that your next profits warning may be just around the corner; simply an occupational hazard.
I hope all readers have a successful 2018/19.
Happy Investing!

They sent me roadside Towels not worth rs 100/– also.
for all who talk about quality. Quality is fair at this price ,i hv ordered two set and i m satisfied with the price and shopclues. Ya shopclues cheated me once for provogue sunglasses they were duplicate
Bigbazaar sale this type of single towel in 299 or 399.
Ruchir, my name is Ajit and i ordered this towel one month back in same price. The quality of all three towel is good and i can see cabana steakar or logo attached with towel. I dont know abt Cabana brand or have any idea whether its original or fake, but the quality, size is very good and its good deal in 209 rupees and i m very clear on this. Dont know what r u trying to explain.
@About Cabana Towel-
BMWC has sent you to cover up,almost done.You live in New York where you get a napkin for Rs 50.The point is cheating.Beta where is Cabana.Or is it JJ. In law there are many provisions like 420 which will apply.Even if it actually costed 500.If a thief comes and leaves more money from purse than stolen,will he get compensation from victim.You don't have a name of yourself and eat,drink cabana towel.Very normal to do so.
I've ordered second time as the quality is very good i received last time. These type of towels are not available in market in 100 rupees. 3 (1+2) towels just in Rs 208 is a very good deal. market me toh 40-50 rupaye me toh keval 1 hand towel milta hai.
quality is very poor not worth of rs 100 also
Knowing perfectly well they are not Cabana or anything but third class JJ sent without bill unlike almost all other orders,posting without this fact which is now an open secret maybe termed as irresponsible.At least those who buy this after seeing links posted at various sites will hold those deal sites responsible for being cheated.Rightly so,endorsement and abetting a crime is also a crime,here in the moral sense.
Will soon give notices to both BMWC and Shopclues and everybody who has dealt with BMWC should visit Post Office so that you can serve notice for compulsory reply from both.Will post the result as soon as case progresses.
Dont buy, very poor quality towels. they r not worth Rs 100.bad deal.
not good deal

Scott Walters - [email protected]
Editor's Note: This is the latest installment in a series that will feature some of the area's top prep football players. These players are expected to receive the most attention from college coaches/scouts. The Dispatch will profile a player each day leading up to the start of the regular season Friday, Aug. 17.
WEST POINT -- For senior cornerback Ryan Melton, the West Point High School football team is a lot like a profitable business.
The names and faces may change but the result is still a good bottom line on an annual basis.
"Nothing changes at this program," Melton said. "The goal is to win every game and to win the championship. This my senior year, so it's a little emotional. However, I was just as determined as a sophomore. I wanted to help my team win a championship. Each year, we want to be there at the end. We expect to be there at the end."
In each of his first two seasons on the varsity level, Melton has seen the Green Wave accomplish that final goal.
The school has won 29 of its last 30 games, while garnering back-to-back Mississippi High School Activities Association (MHSAA) Class 5A state championships.
A year ago, the 6-foot-1, 173-pound Melton had 17 total tackles, three interceptions and two punt blocks for a 15-0 team.
"We just had a lot of fun with it (the pressure of being undefeated)," Melton said. "We knew when we played our best game, there was not another team on our level. The team played with an edge. It was not arrogance, it was just confidence. If we do what we are supposed to do, we win the game. It's that simple. It's a great feeling as a player to have that kind of confidence. Even though we lost some great players, we feel like we should take the field with that mentality again this season."
In a transitional year for the defense, West Point assistant coach Roger Burton knows the importance of leadership from Melton for the younger guys.
"His motor is always on high," Melton said. "When you start that senior season, things pick up. He is flying under the radar right now. When the season starts, and we play some games, that won't be the case anymore. He was a big part of what we did last season. Now, he can take those lessons and share them with the younger guys."
Melton said West Point's intense preparation has helped set team apart from the other contenders in each of the past two seasons.
"We hold everybody accountable," Melton said. "If somebody messes up, we are on them to get it right. If you have the young guys staying on the older guys and the older guys staying on the younger guys, that's teamwork. We practice like champions. Last season, the coaches didn't have to stop practice to correct us. That's the point we are trying to get to with this year's team."
From a personal standpoint, the offers are beginning to come in for Melton. During the summer, he spent time at camps at Louisiana-Monroe, Tulane, Central Arkansas and Southern Mississippi.
"The main thing with the camps was working on technique," Melton said. "I made sure not to miss a summer workout at the school, At the camps, I worked in a lot of one-on-one situations to make sure my man coverage keeps improving. By helping myself, that will help my team this season and then help my career after this season is over. If there is something learned at camp, I can share with the younger guys, that's a blessing. The coaches always do a great job of getting us exposure. So you are excited about playing on the next level, but you can let them worry about that. Our main focus right now is working hard in practice and winning that third straight ring."
Burton feels like Melton is just now filling out his body. His knowledge from the film room is high. A combination of good hands, skill and quickness with his feet will make him a threat for other team's passing games.
"He is one of those who is a natural-born leader," Melton said. "Even though we lost some guys off last year's team, there are some quality replacement that he gets to help mentor."
When the season opens Aug. 16 at Columbus, West Point will be risking a two-season, 28-game winning streak. Many have the Green Wave already penciled in as the favorites in Class 5A.
Head coach Chris Chambless said the team will be looking for depth through each of the first four non-region games. On offense, the Green Wave will have several new faces.
"As a defense, our goal is to always punch first," Melton said. "This year, that will be even more important. We got a lot of new guys who will have to step up offense. That means it's on the defense to set the tone for season. We have to have their back until everybody is settled in and ready to win a championship."

The critics haven't treated Beyond: Two Souls very kindly and to be honest, I have no idea why. Beyond made me cry more than any other video game ever has and possibly more than most films have too. I'm a pretty emotional person, so it's not hard for a film or TV show to make me cry. However when it comes to video games, it's a different story. Very few video games can make me cry. Sure they can shock me, wow me and emotionally move me but for a game to make me (or anyone, really) cry, it's really got to do something special.
Well Beyond does just that. Right from the start you're sucked into the story of Jodie Holmes, a girl who was born with a connection to an entity beyond this realm. Jodie is trying to remember what happened to her and therefore the story is told in chronological disorder. One minute you're Jodie as a child, the next, you're her as an adult. Aiden, the spirit she's connected to, is always there. Scenes also differ widely in length, some are only ten or fifteen minutes long, others go on for over an hour so; there's a nice variety.
It may seem like a strange way to order a game but it works just as well as Pulp Fiction did for Quentin Tarantino. After all, it's your job to put the pieces together and figure out who you (Jodie) are and who, or what, Aiden is.
What really makes Beyond such an emotional experience is the great writing, acting and technology involved. The story is an unusual one, as it essentially about the supernatural, things that don't really exist. Death is an interesting subject though and Beyond explores the many different forms and meanings of death. Somehow, David Cage has managed to write a very believable story about ghosts and another world without making it seem ridiculous or silly. Personally, the only time I found the writing to jar was when a very minor character said "It's like an evil spirit has been sent here to punish us for our sins!" Yeah, that's an awful line.
However the main actors all perform brilliantly, Ellen Page is typically great in everything she does but Beyond could arguably be one of her best roles. Right from her first line of speech you feel like you're with Jodie and there's no doubt that many female gamers will be able to relate to the many horrible things that Jodie has to go through. She isn't written as a "tortured" character though, something which is refreshing for the industry. Jodie is about as real as female characters get. Willem Dafoe, the other big star, is equally engaging as the scientist trying to understand Jodie's ability. The relationship the two build is truly warming and it's great to see that develop as the game goes on.
Technically wise, it's amazing. The PS3 is at the end of its life cycle and Beyond shows just how far the PS3 has come over a relatively short period of time. I can only imagine how great Cage's games look when the PS4 has its swan-song. Of course with something so high-tech, there's always going to be some niggles. For example the character models are near perfect, but props often look a bit flat and fake. When you think that a sponge or sandwich is motion-captured from just cardboard in real life it's not really surprising and luckily it isn't too distracting.
The controls have changed a lot since Heavy Rain, instead of QTEs, Beyond uses a simplified system. Basically, when you're engaged in a fight or are running for your life, you need to flick the right stick in the appropriate direction in order to perform the action successfully. The screen doesn't tell you which direction you should go in, instead the game goes into slo-mo mode and you only have a set amount of time to react. Most of the time missing the odd command won't make too much of a difference but at other times one miss can completely change the scenes outcome – so you'll definitely be on your toes.
The controls definitely feel more natural than Heavy Rain's did and personally I think it's an improvement. However as you're left to make your own decisions on which direction you should go it, judging the movement can be tough so it's not always easy to get it right and you might end up messing up a situation you hadn't intended to. This can be a little frustrating at times but it adds a challenge to the game which Heavy Rain often lacked, so it's a positive change.
You can also switch to Aiden (almost) whenever you want by pressing triangle. You can then float through walls and interact with certain people and objects, depending on the situation. You can't travel too far away from Jodie though because you're connected. Controlling Aiden can be a bit of a pain, especially if trying to travel up or down, as it's easy to find yourself a bit lost which isn't ideal if you're trying to do something quickly. It's also quite difficult to heal people or to remember memories using Aiden, because you have to push and hold both sticks on a certain highlighted area for a set period of time.
Beyond isn't perfect but it's pretty damn close. I haven't felt more connected to any other virtual character as I have Jodie and I genuinely cared about what happened to the other characters. As the reviews have proven, Beyond is a polarising experience, with some gamers just not "getting" it. I feel sorry for those people because they are losing out on an incredible one-of-a-kind experience which is bound to change the way you think about video games forever.
If you have a PS3 and don't play Beyond – you're missing out. See you on the other side.

Memorial Day 2016
Memorial Day should be a time to remember the fallen—those brave men and women who laid down their lives for us that we might be free. Yet, tragically, we see that the left is waging a war against memorial crosses because they supposedly establish religion. Here's the Memorial Day edition of Truths that Transform.

ISG's German team has successfully completed the second phase fit out of Microsoft´s new office in Berlin "Unter den Linden" close to the heart of Berlin, the Brandenburger Tor.
The project encompassed a 700 sq m open-plan office including lounge areas, communication spaces and conference rooms with the latest video conference technology. One of Berlin's leading Graffiti Artists decorated the glass partition walls with his art.
The project team's main challenge was the tight time schedule in a fully occupied building among other ongoing construction in the neighbourhood.
To meet the high technical requirements of Microsoft for media communication and technology, the newest components had to be integrated in the interior design. This demanded accurate planning and moderation of all parties involved.
With its listed facade the building is part of a listed monument area. "Unter den Linden" is one of the most popular attractions for tourists and is conveniently located between several underground stations. Due to this location on one of Berlin's busiest thoroughfares and stroll areas, careful attention had to be paid to site logistics and management.

April 18, 2014 – "Incessant Bombings & Killings In Nigeria Caused By Sudden Influx Of Visitors" – Wole Soyinka
Nobel Laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka some academics and researchers have expressed worry over unchecked influx of foreigners into Nigeria's territory.
This is contained in a communiqué issued on Thursday at the end of a three- day colloquium organised by the Centre for Black Culture and International Understanding.
Soyinka, who is the chairman of CBCIU, was among the participants at the colloquium which also had Christian leaders, Islamic leaders and traditional religions adherents in attendance.
Some of the scholars who presented papers at the colloquium were: Dr. Bimbo Adesoji, of Department of History, Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile Ife, Dr. Enoch Gbadegesin, Department of Religious Studies, OAU and Dr. Abiodun Agboola, also from OAU.
Influx of foreigners has been identified as a cause of to the incessant bombings and killing of innocent Nigerians across the country.
They tasked security agencies in the country to properly man the borders and check those coming in and going out of the country. This, they said, would improve the security situation in the country.
The communique reads in part, "As a society, there is a need to check the trend of 'politicisation of religion' and 'religionisation of politics' i.e. the unhealthy mixing of religion with politics in our system.
"Factors responsible for violent crisis and insurgency are identified as lying in hardline tendencies engendered by wrong education, social and economic dislocation, poverty and social disadvantages.
Others are: political partisanship, unchecked influx of foreigners into the country especially through the border in the Northern part of the country and idleness and unemployment among Nigerian youths."
They added that religious tension in some states in the country was caused by mutual suspicion while urging adherents of various religious organisations to refrain from unnecessary anger.
Stating that religions are not obstruction to human progress, they agreed that various religions had promoted developments at different times in Nigeria saying missionaries' intervention in education sector contributed immensely towards making education available to many people in Nigeria.
The scholars and other participants also suggested that peaceful coexistence among various ethnic groups and religious groups would be facilitated through the promotion of justice, fair hearing, humility and forgiveness.
The communiqué reads further, "There is the need to introduce and enforce the concept of compulsory education which will make school attendance mandatory for children between the ages of six and 16 .
"Parents who keep children within compulsory school age will then be treated as offenders against the law."

The Charleston Symphony Orchestra was really put through the ringer last year. In April, the Board of Directors cut the symphony's season short due to a lack of funds. Musician representatives filed a lawsuit against the CSO with the National Labor Relations Board, but then offered to withdraw charges that the temporary shut-down of the organization was illegal in exchange for the immediate resignation of board president Ted Legasey and board bargaining committee chair Marty Klaper, as well as the appointment of 10 new board members. Local arts leaders held public forums in June to help figure out the best steps for the organization. The lowest point, though, was the death of music director David Stahl in October. But things have been looking up since then. The CSO brought on a new executive director and new board members and a huge crowd showed up for their belated season opener in January. The CSO is back and well on the road to recovery — let's just hope they can keep it that way.

I was on Nichol Magouirk's blog and saw her beautiful butterfly card (the March 28th post)...Nichol's butterfly card I remembered that I had a really fun set of butterfly stamps from Hero Arts that I've never played with. I wanted to add some dimension to them like Nichol did on her card. So, with my trusted Bo Bunny dot paper in hand (Step AWAY from the Bo Bunny!) I made this all occasion card.
Supplies: Bazzill cardstock, Bo Bunny dot paper, Hero Arts stamps and gems, Hobby Lobby scalloped punch.

Okay, well, the lead-ban post is going to be Sunday, I guess. I hope. However, this is a pretty awesome Paphiopedilum, I think:
It's a little strange that I think so, because this paph has most of the characteristics I find boring in Phalaenopsis (light color; rounded, flattish petals/sepals). But somehow what's tedious in a phal is awesome in a paph.
That would probably work the other way around, too. I'd love to see the Phalaenopsis version of this paph, for example. Or this one.
Ancestry: Paphiopedilum Hampshire White Light is the offspring of Paph. Shapelight x Paph. Skip Bartlett.

Okay, well, the lead-ban post is going to be Sunday, I guess. I hope. However, this is a pretty awesome Paphiopedilum, I think:

I was thinking the same thing. The white/creams are so boring. What makes Paphs special is the odd colouration and changes in patterning. I love this flower though. Very nice.

What a great Paph you have! Even though these colours can be sorta bland, it is great to something like this on a Paph, as this type of breeding is just coming into fruition. I think we will be seeing a lot more Paphs like this with improved colour and form!

Thanks, but:
1) It's not mine; I saw it at an orchid show last March.
2) You can tell it's not my orchid because it's alive and blooming. My orchid plants hate me, across the board, with the possible exception of the Phalaenopsis (and I think the phal is merely indecisive, and will come around to hating me any day now). I admire orchid flowers, but am completely useless at bringing them into existence.
3) Except one time, with a Dendrobium 'Karen,' which rebloomed a single flower for me, once, a few years ago. It has since died, of course.

Oh. . . umm. . . well then. . . what a pretty Paph! :D

Its time to put any fears aside as to whether or not Mississippi State head coach Dan Mullen's SEC Media Days shoe game would be as strong as it has been in recent years, because it most definitely is.
Mississippi State's Dan Mullen is on point with his sock and shoe game today. #SECMD17 pic.twitter.com/ACZUy2oc7K— Matt Murschel (@osmattmurschel) July 11, 2017
Mullen wore what are presumably the latest in a line of Yeezys than Mullen has worn to SEC Media Days in the past few years. The question going forward is when Mississippi State, Adidas, and Kayne West finally get around to naming as Yeezys the Bulldogs official shoe outfitter.

Saint Peter, encaustic icon, St. Catherine Monastery, Sinai, 6th century. Visible, above St. Peter, form left to right : St. Menas, Christ, and the Theotokos.
The Saint is portrayed with large wide-open eyes, short gray hair and short well-groomed beard, holding a cross in the left hand and three keys in the right. The face is painted in the tradition of the encaustic Fayoum portraits of Alexandrian art. The Saint's head is surrounded by a large golden halo. The top fo the icon is occupied by three small medallions. The middle one, with a cross in the background, contains a portrait of Christ and the right one a portrait of the Virgin. The identification of the beardless youth portrayed in the third medallion has posed a problem to scholars. Some believe that he should be identified either with Moses or St. John the Evangelist. The latter is the choice of several scholars because he appears to correspond to the Virgin on the right of the crucified Christ. Besides, the depiction of these particular holy figures in the three medallions may be interpreted as a representation of the Crucifixion, and linked with the obvious symbolism of the cross in St. Peter's hand, which can but allude to the Saint's death on the cross. Various scholars have dated this icon to the 6th or 7th century, though an earlier date in the 5th century cannot be ruled out. It is painted using the encaustic technique (0.52 X 0.39 m)
For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty.
For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him in the holy mount.
2 Peter 1:16-18

Pantocrator from Sinai 13 c
101.6 x 66.4 cm Egg Tempera on Wood Early 13th Century
Holy Monastery of St. Catherine - Sinai
Here we see Christ as Pantokrator - "Ruler of All" holding a gospel in Imperial purple illumintated in gold. The Gospel reads - "I am the light of the world; the one who follows me would not walk in shadow, but enter the Light of Life". Christ raises his right hand in blessing. His robes are blue and Imperial purple, with the tunic hightlighted in gold. The background is subtle and luminous, in this ikon the halo merges softly with the gilded background.
The face of Christ is well-drawn and the cheeks are brightly colored in red - giving the face an almost sun-burnt appearance. The nose is full and realistic - overall the image of Christ feels alive and full of energy.

Pantocrator from Hilandar 13 c
This is the famous Pantocrator (the Greek word for "Ruler of All") icon at Hilandar Monastery on Mount Athos painted in 1260-1270. This icon was rendered in egg-tempera and shows the classical Byzantine iconographic influence of some of the best periods of early iconography, often portraying Christ in His Majesty and compassion. It has as well elements and stylization of other similar icons of Christ from the mid-13th century, especially in Macedonia and Serbia.
Icons are always more than just humanistic and naturalistic art, for the human perspective is limited by its own limiting self-awareness that cannot become truly objective from an Eternal point of view. This objectivity is just what a true icon expresses, both the state of creation and who is being depicted at the very end of time, often involving some abstraction or non-naturalistic perspectives. Thus Christ here has a long thin nose, wide set eyes which are open and aware, a pronounced brow, and a look of profound intentional insight into us, making us think about our own interior state now and in Eternity.

Mike is the leading salesman on the Covideo Team, where he's been in charge of dealer services for nearly eight years. He also has more than 18 years of automotive retail experience, making him an invaluable resource for Covideo's many users in the automotive industry. Mike coaches them on best practices to better engage their customers through the power of video.
I have always had a passion for serving customers within a retail sales environment. The automotive industry was particularly appealing in which it afforded you the ability to control your own destiny. By that I mean, within a commission structured environment – you have control of your income. Success relates to limitless financial income along with additional opportunities for continued growth.
My retail experience has provided me with a better understanding as it relates to customer interactions within the various departments– the challenges within those departments, and how we can use video technology to enhance the customer engagement while providing an excellent Customer Experience.
Rewarding. I can truly understand their daily challenges and can ask the relevant questions to offer meaningful solutions in efforts to help them succeed.
When I first started in the industry, I believed there to be a great disparity. The "car salesman" was considered the corporate misfit and was not guided by ethical boundaries as those within the corporate world, creating for themselves an aura of irrelevancy, thus tarnishing their reputation. However, I believe that bridge has been gapped and over the years our automotive dealers were forced to embrace Customer Satisfaction. Where now I believe that today's an automotive salesperson's role has evolved into more of a professional advisory role when providing today's educated customer with a friendly, transparent experience.
"Now, I believe that today's an automotive salesperson's role has evolved into more of a professional advisory role when providing today's educated customer with a friendly, transparent experience."
We are forced into the habit of communicating via email in today's business world. Yet no email, even with its bold-typed words, can ever replace those passionate voice inflections of that face to face interaction. Adding visual cues along with voice and facial expressions clearly allows you to deliver a more compelling message. As they say: If a picture is worth 1,000 words, what is a video worth?!
The long-term effects, in part, helps to create a company culture of transparency. Mind you, video communications are not just powerful for customer-facing communications. Many companies create a culture of synergy when using video within their internal communications as well.
I believe it to be their understanding of staying ahead of the technology curve, and to be able to better communicate to that of the customers' lifestyle today.
Video communications will become the new norm and plain text communications will become obsolete. Our customers will dictate as such.
As with any industry, yes there will be challenges. But the only obstacle will be those that refuse to keep up with technology and change with the times. Unfortunately, these companies will be left behind.
Check out the video below to see what Mike has to say about Covideo:
Covideo provides video email software that helps businesses and individuals communicate more effectively, build relationships faster and reinforce their brands with easy-to-make personalized videos.

(As a side note, I'm seriously beginning to wonder if I shouldn't just add a "Notes and Disclaimers" box to my blog... then again, that would be about the same as prefacing all my notes and disclaimers with "Allow me to provide some context" -- which would seem rather redundant coming from me. {grin})
Anyway, it would seem that it all started with Michael's post Why Pass vs. Fail Rates Are Unethical (Test Reporting Part 1) that, if not inspired, certainly contributed to Cem's post Contexts differ: Recognizing the difference between wrong and Wrong which, unsurprisingly, triggered the following post by Michael I Might Be Wrong (But Not For Me)
Ok, all caught up? Good. Lemme share what I think might be happening here and while I'm at it share my model for approaching ethics-related situations in business environments (testing or otherwise).
The first thing I notice is that Michael is specifically talking about his personal ethics (though that's not explicitly stated until the second of his posts linked above) while Cem's post feels to me like he is talking about ethics "in the eyes of the law," at least in some places. Whether I'm right about this or not is actually not at all relevant because there's no way anyone could convince me to get in the middle of (or referee, for that matter) an ethical debate between these two men... and the better you know them, the more you can confirm that my unwillingness to step in the middle says little more than that I clearly have at least some small, instinctual, notion of self-preservation buried in my lizard brain somewhere.
What is relevant to me, is that regardless of *what* specific notions of the term "unethical" each are using, this series of posts make me feel like there is a disconnect... like I'm not entirely convinced they are disagreeing about anything other than the contextual reference they are applying to the term "unethical". Now, for all I know, they have previously established a common contextual reference between them, but if that is the case, I'm not picking that up from the blog discourse. And that is the "teachable moment" as my father would often announce before launching into an impromptu lesson inspired by an experience we'd just shared.
It' not just situations that have context. Words have context too. So do many other aspects of communication such as tone, volume, body position, eye contact, and countless other things (that I'm not always so good at keeping congruent with my intended message -- which is one reason I took to writing about things that are important to me to communicate accurately about). Even when the people directly involved in a conversation have an established contextual baseline for words and/or communication in general, those indirectly involved can still walk away believing they understand what was being discussed, only to find themselves feeling confused later.
From that perspective alone, I'm interested to see how this plays out. As for whether or not I think pass/fail ratios are ethical - I'll simply say this: I was a performance tester first... I don't operate in pass/fail (even when I've done other kinds of testing), so having never been asked to provide that particular metric, I will only say that it's certainly not a metric I can imagine myself asking for!
I also promised to share my thought process when faced with business situations that make my ethical spidey senses tingle...
When faced with an ethical dilemma that is within my scope of control or authority to make a decision about, I simply choose the path I believe is most useful/valuable/appropriate from whatever paths remain after I eliminate those I deem to be inconsistent with my ethics and/or the ethics of others who are likely to be impacted by my decision or action. Sometimes I choose poorly, but I do not knowingly choose things inconsistent with my ethics. Pretty simple, yeah?
When faced with a situation "of ethical question-ability" in a professional or business context that is not within my scope of control or authority make the "key" decision about, I think in terms of the following 4 potential courses of action:
- Do nothing... for now. (i.e. I feel I need, and can get, more information before taking action)
- Raise the flag and champion something better (i.e. I'm not pleased with the ethical direction things are taking, recognize the actual decision is not mine to make, and I believe I have a chance to make things "ethically better" in the long term if I'm persistent and respectful)
- Raise the flag and make a stand (until I get things changed, get fired or quit -- where fired or quit doesn't improve the ethics of the situation, it just removes me from the situation)
- Quit (again, removing me from an uncomfortable situation but not actually making the situation any "better")
This is also why I recommend that people choose their employers and clients wisely. The owners ultimately decide what is and is not acceptable for their organization (they don't get to decide what is legal, but they do get to decide whether they choose to abide the law and how much effort to invest in not getting caught if they choose not to) and they pay employees to support them. Period. Folks who cannot live with that reality need to (at least) get themselves into a position where they get to make the decisions... which, by the way, is a rather large contributing factor to me deciding to start my own company even though I've never been particularly interested in owning or running a business. There are simply some things that cross my ethical line of acceptability that are (seemingly) legal and acceptable ways to do business and the only way I knew to both live with myself and make a living was to put myself in a position where I got to make the call.
It's worked out well enough for me so far. I have no trouble at all living with myself and while I could certainly enjoy making a better living, I'm getting by. Now, if only I could afford a full-time book-keeper and executive assistant... {smirk}

Unlike the physical monuments in the nations capital, it is a living memorial whose work and scholarship commemorates the ideals and concerns of Woodrow Wilson. As both a distinguished scholar and national leader, President Wilson felt strongly that the scholar and the policymaker were engaged in a common enterprise.

'West Side Stories'
The Westies (self-released)
4 stars out of 5
The Westies, a terrific band fronted by singer/songwriter Michael McDermott, drew inspiration for their name and debut from T.J. English's book "The Westies and the Savage City." The real Westies were a ruthless gang of Irish mob punks that ruled New York City's Hell's Kitchen in the 1960s and '70s.
"All I ever wanted to do was write songs and tell stories, like my grandparents and parents did from a long Irish lineage," McDermott explains. "With that lineage came a proclivity for drink, for mayhem, and a wee bit of crime. I write what I know and what I know is, much of the time, ugly."
"West Side Stories" is a 10-track gathering of tunes about loss and regret, but thanks to the efforts of McDermott (and backup vocalist Heather Horton), The Westies never become maudlin. The highlight of the album is "Say It…," a duet featuring McDermott and Horton, and the band also delivers the goods on "Hell's Kitchen," "Bars," "Rosie," "Five Leaf" and "Still." I can't wait to hear more from this talented bunch of musicians. (Jeffrey Sisk)
