UKIP's dodgy allies
I am indebted to today's Observer which has run an in-depth interview with Korwin-Mikke, whose far-right Polish party UKIP are now allied with in the European Parliament. It is a party that France's far-right Front National, led by Marine Le Pen, has decided is too extreme for an alliance.
The interview does us all a service by highlighting the sort of policies and views UKIP are prepared to harness themselves to, and in doing so reveals the true nature of Nigel Farage's party. Here are some extracts:
The interview does us all a service by highlighting the sort of policies and views UKIP are prepared to harness themselves to, and in doing so reveals the true nature of Nigel Farage's party. Here are some extracts:
- Korwin-Mikke has the potential to be an embarrassing ally. For instance, he thinks women's opinions are shaped by the sperm of the men they sleep with, that they are "on average" less clever than men, and that nearly half of women who tell a man they don't want to have sex with them are feigning reluctance and should be ignored.
- There is no proof Hitler knew about the Holocaust, he has argued for years, and he told the Observer that Mussolini, who stripped Jewish citizens of property and civil rights, then sent thousands to German concentration camps, "was trying to protect Jews".
- He would like to abolish not just the European Union but democracy altogether, replacing it with an absolute monarchy, which he considers the gold standard for government. His main objection to dictatorship is that it leaves open the question of who succeeds a leader.
- "If someone gives money to an unemployed person he should have his hand cut off because he is destroying the morale of the people," Korwin-Mikke said, adding that the state should not give anyone a cent either. "Europeans were very aggressive and now the boys are taught not to be aggressive … Give them the pistol, give them a sword."
- The two parties share a more important goal though, both Polish politicians say. "He wants to destroy the European Union, and even Lucifer or Beelzebub who is against the European Union is our ally, because it is the greatest danger to Europe," said Korwin-Mikke, who wants to convert part of the EU headquarters into a giant brothel.
- Part of his distaste for modern Europe is driven by the position of women, who he says have replaced "privileges" with "equal rights", a phrase Korwin-Mikke spat out as if it was an insult. Most want to stay at home to raise families, and can't be trusted to vote, said the twice-married father of six. They are also, he claims, "less tall, less heavy, less intelligent, on the average". And he adds: "Women usually vote for the more handsome man."
- "Women want to be led by men," he claimed. They particularly like to be led to the bedroom, he added, saying that men should often ignore a partner who said no to sex. "Women usually pretend that they don't want [sex]. You must be competent enough to differentiate whether she seriously doesn't want," he said. "The percentage of women who pretend that they don't want to have sex, but they do want in fact, is about 30 or 40%. Asked how a rape trial could be prosecuted if a woman's words were not accepted as evidence of her intentions, he said men should not be convicted unless there were two witnesses to the crime.

Noah hasn't been interested in saying Daddy. Papa, yes; Daddy, no.
Andrew prefers to be called Papa, so all our babies learn Papa first, but they quickly move on to Daddy when they hear the rest of the world calling their fathers Daddy. So, like it or not, Andrew is Daddy. Except to Noah. Even when I use Noah's Kaufmann flashcards for Daddy and I hold up the card and say "Daddy," Noah says "Papa."
It always gives me a secret thrill, because it lets me know that he knows that Papa and Daddy are the same thing and he's not confused by a little ole switcharoo of the nicknames, and he'll call his favorite male parental unit what he pleases, thank you very much.
But a change is in the air. I've noticed in the past week Noah has been experimenting with some different sounds, including a little number that sounds suspiciously like Daddy.
Tonight's escapades at the pool confirms it. I was holding Noah by the hands and he was splashing in the water, kicking up a storm with his feet behind him, and he started turning his head around and yelling, "Da-deeeeee" looking for Andrew. No mistake about it, he was calling for his Daddy to see how fabulous and brave he was in the water. Once he finally got it out, he said it over and over and over again, laughing, so completely thrilled to finally be able to get that sound combination out. I think all this time he has lacked the confidence and ability to say Daddy, so he automatically defaults to Papa. He was so happy, I imagine, to join the ranks of all the other children he hears call out to their father the name, "Daddy."
small victory — no, in Noah's world there are no small victories – another BIG victory for our courageous boy.
And another reminder to this worried mama that apraxia or no apraxia, we are moving forward, and Noah is finding his voice, one syllable at a time.

Leap Date:
October 6, 1979
Episode Adopted by: gelfling1220
As a Chippendale dancer named Rod "The Bod", Sam must suffer though the women throwing themselves at him while making sure a hearing-impaired woman realizes her dream of becoming a dancer instead of becoming a prostitute and dying of AIDS.
from this episode
Private Dancer
Broadcast Date: 20 March 1991
Leap Date: 6 October 1979
Place: Marios Hideaway, New York City
Leapee: Rod
McCarty, a.k.a. Rod the Bod
Scene where Sam leaps into Chippendale: Ladies Night by Kool and The Gang
Second scene where Sam is Chippendale: For The Love Of Money by the O'Jays
Scene where Sam dances with the chreographer in the nightclub: Getaway by Earth, Wind and Fire
Scene where Sam sees Diana dance by herself in the nightclub: Another Star by Stevie Wonder.
Scene at the end where Diana dances for Joanne: Daybreak by Cheryl Lynn
Sam has never met a deaf person before
Als lab partner at MIT was a
deaf girl ("boy could she read lips!") She refused to sleep with him.
Miscellaneous Trivia Words in American Sign Language shown (not as part of one of Dianas speeches):
Thank You
Youre Welcome

At the club is Joanna Chapman, choreographer of a major jazz dance company. Having wowed her with his own dance moves, Joanna informs him of an open audition she is holding. After hours, Sam finds Diana practicing a dance routine and offers to walk her home. Despite her protests that she does not want him around, Sam persists and on the walk home the two grow very close.
Sam works out a deal with Mario, offering to do another performance for the club if Mario keeps Diana from dancing at bachelor parties. Mario agrees but Diana is not happy she has no money and she thinks that Sam is being patronizing. Sam confronts her and convinces her to give Joannas audition a try.
Diana does well at the audition until instructions are given that she cant see. Upon learning that Diana is deaf, Joanne turns her down. Diana is shattered and things are made worse by the fact that her home has been towed away. With no one else to turn to, Diana returns to the club and talks to Valerie, Marios assistant. Valerie sets Diana up as an escort. Sam learns of this and seeks her out at the hotel that the "date" has taken her. Risking being dragged away by security, Sam bursts into the room demanding to talk to Diana and asks her not to sell herself. Diana makes the right choice and Sam talks Joanne into giving Diana a second chance. This time, Diana makes the cut and Sam leaps out as she thanks him
There are several reasons why this is one of my favorite episodes. For one, there is the accurate portrayal of a deaf character. Quantum Leap excels in its portrayals of people with handicaps and in this respect the episode is very educational, from the information Diana conveys about being deaf to the simple words and phrases she signs as she talks to Sam. The audience learns as Sam does and the information is nicely integrated into the plot.
This episode is also notable for showcasing the dancing talents of Scott Bakula, in two of the episodes major scenes. They must have been quite interesting to film, since it is rumored that Bakula was on massive painkillers for the episode, having injured his foot in filming "Runaway". Like the episode itself, the dances vary, being both fun and dramatic, such as Sam and Joannes lively boogie in the middle of the club, to Dianas beautiful final dance.
In the end, this is a great episode, ideal for anyone who wants to see strong human drama, great choreography, or just happens to like the idea of Sam being a Chippendale.

Sometimes I hate being right
I thought you ran out of Kleenex or something
I sell an illusion It isnt me!
Stop bothering me! For seven years Ive been able to manage by myself. I want to do it by myself!
~Diana to Sam (translated from ASL)
Why does your Swiss Cheese memory remember things I wanna forget?
-Twenty-four hours? What am I supposed to do in the meantime?
-Shake your booty!
~Sam and Al
"I know music in a way you will never know. When I look around, I see music everywhere. There is music in the stars, the way they sparkle. I feel them. Theres music in the light as they dance on the water at night. And how the leaves chase each other like children at play. When I feel the wind on my face, the wind is my music.

"I adore Yule, but I don't make many decorations these days
— I prefer to rescue the decorations of others."
Some people have a horrible tradition of throwing out their old festive decorations and buying new ones, thus I rescue the old ones and give them new life when I can! I also make Yule cards (and Christmas, and Chanucah, and Atheist — I'm happy to make cards to please the recipient) from used 'Christmas Crackers' and packaging. In fact I spent several years as The Ethical Cardmaker, explaining how to do this (link).
I love the different textures of re-used material such as ribbon, or even in one card the wire from a champagne bottle, turned into a tree of life (sort of!). The swan card was made from a beer can, cut into swan shapes — the inside of aluminium cans is a lovely pewter colour, great for gothic craft. The midnight blue background came from an old and torn blouse, which made about twenty cards in the end! One recipient put the card up on her wall.
One can also subvert the heterosexual card market, as I did with a card for gay friends. Environmentally friendly and also inclusive — that's the idea. All my cards are made entirely from recycled/re-used elements, except for the glue!
The main thing, I think, is to act with consideration and love, as always, and add in a little extra joy and indulgence at Yule for everyone!
" . . . Back in 2007, my best friend blackmailed me into submitting my poems and stories to magazines — he made it his New Year's Resolution to see me published, and said that if I didn't at least try, then he'd fail at his resolution and it would be my fault! I only sent submissions to publications to prove to him that no one would want them — and I was delighted to be proved wrong!
"My childhood love of fantasy and science fiction has always informed my work, as have my complicated spiritual path, my disability and bisexuality. They are all rich veins of inspiration to mine, and I've published all kinds of things — from comedy pieces to spiritual pieces to political work to fairy tales."

Sustainable Partnership
Sustainable partnership is a mutually developing and beneficial partnership. KPC's efforts to achieve effective, efficient, and sustainable Good Mining Practice implementation can only be successful with supports from all elements of our supply chain. Therefore, we keep carrying out a harmonious, fair, transparent, and mutual relationship with every business partner in order to achieve a sustainable supply chain.
KPC's business partners are categorized into 2 groups, which are goods suppliers (suppliers) and service suppliers (contractors in mining or other services). Their teamworks and supports helped us go through various challenges and industrial dynamics. Keeping sustainable, transparent, fair, and mutual partnership with every business partner has always been KPC's commitment.
Good Mining Practice in Building Partnership
With a strong partnership, goods and services procurement related to KPC's operational activities is able to be conducted well, resulting in accomplishment of one good mining practice aspect which is effective, efficient, and competitive production cost.Apart from resulting in competitive production cost, we also realize the importance of involving domestic suppliers, especially local suppliers. We put our efforts on conducting goods and services procurement from domestic suppliers. We believe that purchasing domestic goods and service will help increase national economy. Therefore, it can be stated that we have implemented social aspects in good mining practice, particularly aspects in partnership.
In choosing suppliers, we conduct prequalification for every supplier candidate. It is conducted in order to ensure that candidates already fulfill all the requirements issued by KPC, which covers administrative, technical, environment management, safety and health, labor practice, and human rights.
Fair and transparent goods and servicess procurement process needs to be conducted by KPC. In order to achieve it, we invite several contractors and suppliers to participate in selection and evaluation process. With this process, we expect to maintain credibility, properness, fairness, and trust of our suppliers. Selection and evaluation process were held based on our Standard Operation Procedures (SOP) which is organized by Supply Department. If, in case of urgency, end-users may directly appoint suppliers/contractors by submitting Waive To Tender Document that has been aprroved by KPC authorized management.
n order to achieve effectivity of good mining practice in partnership, KPC commits to maintain a mutual relationship with our partners by doing some approaches as followed.
- Involving and supporting local and national suppliers
- Monitoring suppliers' activities and performance by using Contract and Contractor Management System (CMS) and Human Resource Audit
- Code of Conduct and Business Ethic Guidelines and General Terms for Contract Agreement
- Various communication and discussion forums.
Involving and Supporting Local and National Suppliers
Involving and supporting local and national suppliers is KPC's commitment to develop local communities' potencies, help them increase their welfare and skills by providing chances to be partners, trainings, and several two-way discussion forums. In order to fulfill our commitment, we conduct various efforts in involving and supporting local and national suppliers. Two programs held are assisted suppliers and purchasing migration.
SSupplier Contractor and Contract Management System (SCMS) and Human Resource Audit
In monitoring and ensuring all contractors' effectivity in performance, KPC has a role and is responsible to observe suppliers' and contractors' commercial, technical, as well as occupational safety and health risks.
We always hold safety talk regularly to sosicalize SCMS and occupational accident prevention methods as our support to suppliers and contractors in improving occupational safety performance at all existing projects.
In addition, SCMS states about requirement related to human rights protection, which includes work agreement of every contractors' employee, the registration of contractors' employee in State Insurance for Workers, statement of minimum employee salary and their components.
Code of Conduct and Business Ethic Guidelines and General Terms for Contract Agreement
KPC commits to continuously nurture and uphold the principle of trust to all suppliers. Code of Conduct and Business Ethic Guidelines and General Terms for Contract Agreement was established in order to support our commitment. All KPC's suppliers are mandatory of signing the Code of Conduct and Business Ethic Guidelines and General Terms for Contract Agreement, including human rights clause, which is signed by highest management level of the Company and related employees. Until 2013, all of our suppliers have signed the Code of Conduct and Business Ethic Guidelines and General Terms for Contract Agreement.
Communication and Discussion Forum
In order to maintain and strengthen the harmonious relationship between KPC and suppliers, we have established some communication and discussion forum.
Supplier Communication Meeting
Every two years, KPC routinely holds Supplier Communication Meeting which aims to explore and get feedback from the suppliers. This activity is also a medium for KPC to provide information about the company progress, including the short and long-term action plan of the company to all contractors and suppliers. We also provide Supplier Award for the suppliers (suppliers and contractors) that have good performance.
Supplier Visit & One-on One Meeting
Supplier visit is something we do regularly in order to discuss service level, performance, and supply chain. In addition, we also regularly maintain the communication with all contractors and suppliers through the One-on-One Meeting. By establishing good communication between us and the suppliers, we hope to be proactive in accommodating a variety of complaints and suggestions as part of efforts to improve in the future.
Supplier Safety Meeting
In 2012 through the Supply Department, we have done a supplier safety meeting in order to raise awareness of suppliers about OHS, by inviting suppliers who have a vehicle permit entry to non-mining areas of KPC.
In 2015, we changed the name of Supplier Safety Awareness Meeting into HSE Committee, as discussed and agreed our last meeting on 19 November 2015, which was also joined by 33 participants as representatives of our contractors suppliers and Supply Chain Division Management team. In this meeting, it was discussed and agreed that HSE Committee will be organized quarterly.
Supplier Award
Since 2012, KPC initiated the Supplier Award event held every two years in conjunction with the activities of Supplier Communication Meeting. Supplier Award is an appreciation event for our business partners for their very good support, cooperation, and performance. The aspects assessed in this event is the performance of suppliers and contractors, including but not limited to the performance of the delivery or performance of the provision, the accuracy in the provision of goods or services, the total expenditure, the technical evaluation, commercial evaluation, and communication.

New York guitarist added to Angel Olsen bill...
Having wowed and amazed during a performance in Gulpd Café on Valentine's Day, jazz/country chanteuse Cal Folger Day has been named as special guest ahead of Angel Olsen's first solo outing in Cork. Tickets are priced at €10 and available from the Cork Opera House box office and online here. It is blatantly obvious what my opinion of the gifted guitarist is so here are what other folks have said in the past:
"...a guitarist and chanteuse with jazz leanings, whose vocal control and onstage presence command attention."
The New Yorker
"Standing just north of five feet, hidden under bookworm glasses and heavy waves of curls, the longing within her sultry voice will bring up heartbreak memories of Janis so distinctly that you'll wonder how its grand emotive power was so well concealed beforehand. Cal Folger Day is a presence on stage."
Go Folk Yourself
"do yourself a favour and check out her last few EPs, she is seriously good!"
Download Cal Folger Day's 'Ghost Hands' over on bandcamp or using the player below.

Jimmy Robert
199 Elm Street
New Canaan, CT 06840
In Imitation of Lives, Bucharest-based French visual artist Jimmy Robert occupies Philip Johnson's iconic Glass House in New Canaan, CT, turning the modernist icon into a stage for an intimate performance that delves into the intersections of architecture, visibility, and black representation. In this live collage, Robert draws on the house's idiosyncratic features to devise a piece that merges poetry and music for a cast engaged in a subtle game of looking and being looked at in turn. Robert's layered performance turns the Glass House into an arena where exposure, representation, and power can be thought anew.

If you own a car then you need to buy auto insurance. Before you purchase auto insurance you should research all of the different insurance plans available and figure out which plan best suits your needs. When it comes to buying auto insurance, the more information you have, the better off you will be. This article contains a number of auto insurance tips.
Before buying a car, take into consideration the cost of the insurance policy for the type of car or cars you are looking at. Generally, the more expensive the car is, the higher the insurance cost will be. Take into account the insurance cost before purchasing the car you have chosen.
Keep your record clean! Your driving record is the main thing that insurance companies look at when deciding what to charge you. It is more important than the car you drive and your credit rating together. Even getting a simple speeding ticket can set your premiums higher, so keep your nose clean!
When shopping for car insurance, you should understand that only the driver on the policy is being insured. That means that if someone else is driving the car and totals it, the insurance company will deny the claim. You could always pay more for insurance so other people can drive the car.
Young drivers can save money on their car insurance if they register an older driver as a part-time user of their car. There is no group of drivers subjected to higher insurance premiums than teenagers. However, insurers will be encouraged to see an older, more responsible driver sharing the driving duties with a teenager. They will reduce premiums accordingly in such a situation.
A great tip for saving money on automobile insurance is to shop for, and purchase your policy online. It is common for insurers to provide discounts for internet customers, because it is less expensive for them to process an application received through their own website than it would be if purchasers were to consult with a live employee. In this way, it is possible for consumers to realize savings of between 5-10%.
Pay a yearly sum for your automobile insurance. Some companies charge a little more to put their customers on a monthly billing plan. If you are able to pay off the bill in one lump sum for the year, you could save some money and you will have one less bill to worry about.
If your annual premium corresponds to ten percent of your car's blue book value, you should drop your collision coverage. Coverage is limited to a car's blue book value: if your car is too old, you are paying a lot of money for an insurance that will not pay you much when you file a claim.
A great tip for getting affordable auto insurance is to consider dropping your coverage if your car is only worth a couple of thousand dollars. Since coverage pays for damage to your vehicle, you would only need to have a couple of thousand dollars to replace the car. Therefore, there is no need in having high coverage in this instance.
Always have a new policy lined up before you cancel an insurance policy. Otherwise, you could end up with a lapse of coverage. Even a lapse of a single day can raise your car insurance rates significantly. The new company will be able to set up your policy to match up with cancellation of the old policy, so you don't overpay.
Pay for your auto insurance coverage in one payment up front. When you pay in full you will not be charged interest charges as you would if you were paying monthly. This means some companies also offer you a discount if your coverage is paid for ahead of time. Monthly payments can be convenient, but they may not be as affordable as you would like.
As was mentioned earlier in this article, everyone who owns a car needs to buy quality auto insurance. When shopping around for an auto insurance policy, it is important to educate yourself on the different types of policies available so that you can choose wisely and make a good decision. Apply the advice from this article to help you find the perfect auto insurance.

Last month, T-Mobile began offering potential new customers a free "test drive", loaning out an iPhone 5S for a week's trial. The idea, as CEO John Legere explained at a June 18 event, is to dispel misconceptions about the No. 4 carrier's data network.
That's largely because T-Mobile was the last to the LTE data party, launching its Long Term Evolution network in early 2013. The carrier has spent the past year building it out in most U.S. cities and larger towns. Although it had a pretty robust HSPA+ data network before that, most people don't think of that carrier when it comes to speed and availability of fast data. The T-Mobile Test Drive program is a shot at changing that.
There's one problem, though. If, indeed, T-Mobile's network really isn't that reliably fast or ubiquitous, giving folks a free phone for a week will only reinforce the, um, "misconceptions". And that's pretty much what happened to me when I took Legere's challenge.
I signed up for the T-Mobile Test Drive program as soon as it was available. It was not a trouble-free process, as the Test Drive's website wouldn't accept my credit card, saying it had already been used to sign up for a phone. It had not.
I was able to complete the signup via phone, but the polite and enthusiastic rep took wrote down my address incorrectly. Another phone call to customer service on delivery day got the error fixed, and a 64-gigabyte, space-gray iPhone 5S showed up at my door on Wednesday, June 25.
I turned on the device, walked through the iPhone setup process and began trying to put T-Mobile's network though its paces in my apartment. But instead of the LTE network, or even T-Mobile's HSPA+ network, I found myself with just one bar's worth of signal and falling back to the dreaded, 2G EDGE network. I could barely get a download test to complete using the Speetest.net app. I tried making a call to my lovely wife, and it wouldn't go through.
EDGE is very slow, and when T-Mobile is available in rural areas, that's usually the data network you're stuck with. Now, I don't live in the boonies – I live a couple of miles from downtown Houston in Montrose. It's possible my apartment building is very well insulated, because just a couple of blocks down the street, in the parking lot of the Kroger on West Gray, I got jaw-dropping LTE speeds and five bars.
However, my AT&T iPhone 5 has no problem getting a solid LTE signal, with five full bars in my apartment. As I wrote back in January when I was considering a switch to T-Mobile, the carrier uses radio frequencies that don't penetrate buildings well. A fix is on the way, but likely won't be in place until later this year or early next. And even then, this improved coverage will be limited.
At work, I had a similar issue. Although I had four bars and a 4G icon on the phone – what you see with an HSPA+ connection – I couldn't get any websites to load or apps to pull in data. Stepping outside on the newsroom balcony of the Houston Chronicle building helped, but the connection was still pokey. Earlier that morning, at an intersection a block away, I got 28 megabits down and a strong LTE signal. The next day, I was able to get a data connection at my desk, but it remained sluggish.
And that's pretty much the way it was all week. I averaged between 9-10 Mbps downloads and 3-8 Mbps uploads around Houston, with occasional bursts of impressive speeds similar to that in the Kroger parking lot. About half the time, I was connected to HSPA+ instead of LTE, particularly when I was inside buildings. Sometimes I was ecstatic at what I was seeing; other times, just frustrated.
In contrast, with my AT&T iPhone 5, I regularly get between 20-40 Mbps down and 10-12 Mbps up on a regular basis, with occasionally faster speeds. Here's a test I did just this morning on my iPhone 5 at home:
At this point, T-Mobile network is just too spotty and inconsistent to compete with AT&T's. I'd considered taking the iPhone 5S to the hinterlands outside Houston, but network coverage was spotty enough in town to make me dismiss the notion of switching to T-Mobile. Why bother heading outside the Houston coverage area?
When I returned the phone on Tuesday to a nearby T-Mobile store, I told the clerk that I just wasn't happy with the quality of T-Mobile's data service. I asked him what others who'd returned their Test Drive phones had told him, and he said, "You're our first."
I realize that I'm just one person, and that someone who frequents different locations in Houston may get different results. I'd like to hear from others who've tried the Test Drive. Was your experience better, worse, or about the same as mine? Let us know in the comments.
Update: Walt Mossberg at re/code also tried the Test Drive, with similar conclusions.

I attended the Louisiana SHRM State Conference in New Orleans last week. I had the BEST time while I was there — I made a lot of connections with some awesome people and I learned some things (Read about the 1st DAY of the Conference HERE)
But before I dive into the lessons from Day 2, I want to say a quick blurb about the importance of conferences and continued education …
I get that we're all busy. I get that we all are trying to make a buck, either as independent businesses or apart of an organizations. I get that conferences and courses can be expensive and time-consuming and that sitting in a room with other practitioners isn't going to put more money in your pocket or necessarily teach you something you don't already know.
Go anyway.
Yes, it is expensive. Yes, it is time-consuming. Yes, you may not learn anything you didn't already know.
And yes, you should still go anyway.
No matter whether you are in HR or some other career, at least once a year, you need to get out of your normal workspace, sit in a big room with people who do the same type of work that you do and listen to someone else give you tips on how to improve at it. You owe it to yourself and the people you serve to stay informed, encouraged and refreshed. The continued learning that happens at conferences, seminars and similar courses will give you that.
So work it into your budget and make it happen!
Ok. I'm off my soapbox. Now back to Day 2 of Louisiana SHRM. Here's what I learned:
- Get technical. HR is not rocket science. It takes commitment and practice to understand, like any other discipline — but the administration of it is fairly simple once you understand the moving parts and how they work. HR administration can be much easier if you use technology to help you. In his session on HR software adoption, William Tincup highlighted the importance of selecting a system that will work best for your organization. Our organizations spend hundreds of thousands of dollars each year on HRIS systems yet we barely scratch the surface of what these systems can do. And we don't demand enough from our providers to get the support to make sure our users are trained and using the system. Push back on your vendors to get make sure they not only provide technical support when something breaks but also ensuring proper training and usage and success with the system.
- Get lean. The principles of "lean" as a method for ensuring process consistency and efficiency has been used in the production and manufacturing world for over at least a decade. Now it's making their way into the office — and HR! One of the leading voices on this is Dwane Lay, who led the session on Lean at the Conference. In order for HR to help improve the flow and efficiency of work in our departments and organizations, we have to study the work — how it's done, where it's done, who does it and why it's done — so we can determine if it is being done in the best and most efficient way possible.
- Get it together. HR cannot allow their organization to be a revolving door of employees. Turnover can do major damage to the morale, reputation and bottom line of your organization. Carla Major led the session on the impact of turnover to the bottom line and how to turn-around negative turnover trends. Get tuned in to the reasons for turnover in your organization and look for ways to address unwanted exits.
And with all conferences, the guests walked away with goodies. Check out this fun video from Dwane Lay's blog on all the swag from the conference. I even make a cameo!

Reconstruction in Philosophy
Reconstruction in Philosophy
Being invited to lecture at the Imperial University of Japan in Tokyo during February and March of the present year, I attempted an interpretation of the reconstruction of ideas and ways of thought now going on in philosophy. While the lectures cannot avoid revealing the marks of the particular standpoint of their author, the aim is to exhibit the general contrasts between older and newer types of philosophic problems rather than to make a partisan plea in behalf of any one specific solution of these problems. I have tried for the most part to set forth the forces which make intellectual reconstruction inevitable and to prefigure some of the lines upon which it must proceed.
Any one who has enjoyed the unique hospitality of Japan will be overwhelmed with confusion if he endeavors to make an acknowledgment in any way commensurate to the kindnesses he received. Yet I must set down in the barest of black and white my grateful appreciation of them, and in particular record my ineffaceable impressions of the courtesy and help of the members of the department of philosophy of Tokyo University, and of my dear friends Dr. Ono and Dr. Nitobe. J. D.
September, 1919.

I like it
I love running again. I'm not where I was before, but I'm getting a little better and faster every time. I think I may even like it better now than I did before.
One of my favorite things about running is listening to music. I've had a lifelong love affair with music, but for some reason I've neglected it a lot in recent years. It probably has a lot to do with the fact that I watch waaaaay too much tv.
Anyway, I decided to give Spotify another chance for running purposes, and I've been very pleased. In order to make the music available away from home on the app, I had to sign up for a free month of Spotify Premium. I'm going to be sad when my month is up because paying for it just doesn't fit in my slim budget right now.
Right now my workout consists of a five minute warmup, 20 minutes of run/walk intervals and a five minute cool down. With that in mind, I made a Spotify playlist that's about 30 minutes long, and I kind of love this one. You can find it here.

My latest article at Flashbak remembers the era (1976 - 1982) of the Fotonovel or Photostory, a publication featuring images from popular films.
Here's a snippet (and the url: http://flashbak.com/this-is-not-a-book-a-gallery-of-the-fotonovel-the-photostory-and-photonovels-29550/ )
"In the era of Netflix, Amazon Prime and Hulu, it's difficult to explain to youngsters of 2015 how the children of the 1970s and early 1980s -- pre-VCR -- sometimes spent hours attempting to recreate the experience of watching a beloved film again through other available means such as board games, "novelizations," building model kits, trading cards, and perhaps most memorably of all: the photonovel.
The photonovel as a printed form arrived in the mid-1970s, just as Star Trek was reaching escape velocity in syndication and Star Wars was on the horizon. A number of different publishers, including Pocket Books, Mandala (Bantam), and Fotonovel Publications began releasing this new style of book; one which features hundreds of still images from the featured film, arranged in chronological/story sequence, with dialogue sometimes featured as comic-book-styled balloons.

This article presents the design and testing of a model-assisted participatory process for the formulation of a local adaptation plan to climate change. The pilot study focused on small-scale and commercial agriculture, water supply, housing, wildlife, livestock and biodiversity in the Thukela River basin, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. The methodology was based on stakeholders identifying and ranking the severity of climate-related challenges, and downscaled stakeholder-identified information provided by modellers, with the aim of addressing possible changes of exposure in the future. The methodology enables the integration of model-based information with experience and visions based on local realities. It includes stakeholders' own assessments of their vulnerability to prevailing climate variability and the severity, if specified, of climate-related problems that may occur more often in the future. The methodology made it possible to identify the main issues to focus on in the adaptation plan, including barriers to adaptation. We make recommendations for how to design a model-assisted participatory process, emphasizing the need for transparency, to recognize the interests of the stakeholders, good advance planning, local relevance, involvement of local champions, and adaptation of Information material to each group's previous experience and understanding.
Assessing hydrological effects of global climate change at local scales is important for evaluating future hazards to society. However, applying climate model projections to local impact models can be difficult as outcomes can vary considerably between different climate models, and including results from many models is demanding. This study combines multiple climate model outputs with hydrological impact modelling through the use of response surfaces. Response surfaces represent the sensitivity of the impact model to incremental changes in climate variables and show probabilies for reaching a priori determined thresholds. Response surfaces were calculated using the HBV hydrological model for three basins in Sweden. An ensemble of future climate projections was then superimposed onto each response surface, producing a probability estimate for exceeding the threshold being evaluated. Site specific impacts thresholds were used where applicable. Probabilistic trends for future change in hazards or potential can be shown and evaluated. It is particularly useful for visualising the range of probable outcomes from climate models and can easily be updated with new results as they are made available.
This study used climate change projections from different regional approaches to assess hydrological effects on the Thukela River Basin in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. Projecting impacts of future climate change onto hydrological systems can be undertaken in different ways and a variety of effects can be expected. Although simulation results from global climate models (GCMs) are typically used to project future climate, different outcomes from these projections may be obtained depending on the GCMs themselves and how they are applied, including different ways of downscaling from global to regional scales. Projections of climate change from different downscaling methods, different global climate models and different future emissions scenarios were used as input to simulations in a hydrological model to assess climate change impacts on hydrology. A total of 10 hydrological change simulations were made, resulting in a matrix of hydrological response results. This matrix included results from dynamically downscaled climate change projections from the same regional climate model (RCM) using an ensemble of three GCMs and three global emissions scenarios, and from statistically downscaled projections using results from five GCMs with the same emissions scenario. Although the matrix of results does not provide complete and consistent coverage of potential uncertainties from the different methods, some robust results were identified. In some regards, the results were in agreement and consistent for the different simulations. For others, particularly rainfall, the simulations showed divergence. For example, all of the statistically downscaled simulations showed an annual increase in precipitation and corresponding increase in river runoff, while the RCM downscaled simulations showed both increases and decreases in runoff. According to the two projections that best represent runoff for the observed climate, increased runoff would generally be expected for this basin in the future. Dealing with such variability in results is not atypical for assessing climate change impacts in Africa and practitioners are faced with how to interpret them. This work highlights the need for additional, well-coordinated regional climate downscaling for the region to further define the range of uncertainties involved. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd.

As climate change could have considerable influence on hydrology and corresponding water management, appropriate climate change inputs should be used for assessing future impacts. Although the performance of regional climate models (RCMs) has improved over time, systematic model biases still constrain the direct use of RCM output for hydrological impact studies. To address this, a distribution-based scaling (DBS) approach was developed that adjusts precipitation and temperature from RCMs to better reflect observations. Statistical properties, such as daily mean, standard deviation, distribution and frequency of precipitation days, were much improved for control periods compared to direct RCM output. DBS-adjusted precipitation and temperature from two IPCC Special Report on Emissions Scenarios (SRESA1B) transient climate projections were used as inputs to the HBV hydrological model for several river basins in Sweden for the period 1961-2100. Hydrological results using DBS were compared to results with the widely-used delta change (DC) approach for impact studies. The general signal of a warmer and wetter climate was obtained using both approaches, but use of DBS identified differences between the two projections that were not seen with DC. The DBS approach is thought to better preserve the future variability produced by the RCM, improving usability for climate change impact studies.

This report originates from a project entitled Participatory Modelling for Assessment of Local Impacts of Climate Variability and Change on Water Resources (PAMO), financed by the Swedish Development Agency and Research Links cooperation (NRF and the Swedish Research Council). The project is based on interactions between stakeholders in the Mhlwazini/Bergville area of the Thukela River basin, climate and water researchers from the University of KwaZulu-Natal (Pietermaritzburg Campus) and the Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute (SMHI) during a series of workshops held in 2007-2009. Between the workshops, the researcher's compiled locally relevant climate change related information, based on requests from the workshop participants, as a basis for this adaptation plan. The aim is to provide a local assessment of vulnerability to climate change impacts on water resources and adaptation strategies. The assessment identifies existing climate-water related problems, current adaptation strategies and recommendations for future action based on likelihoods for change and the severity if such changes will occur.Denna rapport har sitt ursprung i projektet Deltagande modellering för bedömning av lokal inverkan av klimatvariabilitet och förändringar på vattenresurser (PAMO), finansierat av Sida och Research Links (NFR i Sydafrika, samt VR i Sverige).

The aim of this study was to reconstruct river flow to the Baltic Sea using data from different periods during the past thousand years. A hydrological model coupled to simulations from climate models was used to estimate river flow. A "millennium" simulation of past climate from the ECHO-G coupled atmosphere-ocean global climate model provided climatological inputs. Results from this global model were downscaled with the RCA3 regional climate model over northern Europe. Temperature and precipitation from the downscaled simulation results were then used in the HBV hydrological model to simulate river flows to the Baltic Sea for the periods 1000-1199 and 1551-1929. These were compared with observations for the period 1921-2002. A general conclusion from this work is that although climate has varied during the past millennium, variability in annual river flow to the Baltic Sea does not appear more pronounced in recent years than during the previous millennium, or vice versa.
This paper investigates how using different regional climate model (RCM) simulations affects climate change impacts on hydrology in northern Europe using an offline hydrological model. Climate change scenarios from an ensemble of seven RCMs, two global climate models (GCMs), two global emissions scenarios and two RCMs of varying resolution were used. A total of 15 climate change simulations were included in studies on the Lule River basin in Northern Sweden. Two different approaches to transfer climate change from the RCMs to hydrological models were tested. A rudimentary estimate of change in laydropower potential on the Lule River due to climate change was also made. The results indicate an overall increase in river flow, earlier spring peak flows and an increase in hydropower potential. The two approaches for transferring the signal of climate change to the hydrological impacts model gave similar mean results, but considerably different seasonal dynamics, a result that is highly relevant for other types of climate change impacts studies.
Although representation of hydrology is included in all regional climate models (RCMs), the utility of hydrological results from RCMs varies considerably from model to model. Studies to evaluate and compare the hydrological components of a suite of RCMs and their use in assessing hydrological impacts from future climate change were carried out over Europe. This included using different methods to transfer RCM runoff directly to river discharge and coupling different RCMs to offline hydrological models using different methods to transfer the climate change signal between models. The work focused on drainage areas to the Baltic Basin, the Botlinian Bay Basin and the Rhine Basin. A total of 20 anthropogenic climate change scenario simulations from 11 different RCMs were used. One conclusion is that choice of GCM (global climate model) has a larger impact on projected hydrological change than either selection of emissions scenario or RCM used for downscaling.

In this report we describe the detection and duration of fecal shedding of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) O157 and non-O157 in symptomatic and asymptomatic cases during four events occurred among children in day-care centers in Argentina. In each event, the cases were identified among children, family contacts and staff members of the Institution. The isolates were characterized by pheno-genotyping and subtyping methods. The STEC fecal shedding was prolonged and intermittent. Strains O157:H7 (1st event); O26:H11 (2nd event); O26:H11 (3rd event) and O145:NM (4th event) were shed during 23-30, 37, 31 and 19 days, respectively. Considering the possibility of STEC intermittent long-term shedding, symptomatic and asymptomatic individuals should be excluded from the Institution until two consecutive stool cultures obtained at least 48 h apart, test negative.

Delaware names Ross head coach
Newark, DE (Sports Network) – The University of Delaware named Monte Ross
men's head basketball coach on Friday.
Ross replaces David Henderson, who was not retained as head coach after six
seasons at the helm. The Blue Hens went just 9-21 last season and had an 85-93
mark under Henderson.
Ross, 33, spent the last 10 seasons as an assistant at St. Joseph's.
"We are excited to have Monte join the University of Delaware men's basketball
program," said Director of Athletics Edgar Johnson. "During the interview
process, we learned that Monte's contacts and success in recruiting young men
from the Mid-Atlantic Region are truly superior. He knows the region and its
players and coaches, our University, and the Colonial Athletic Association.
Most important of all, Monte is a talented, personable, hard-working young man
who has great rapport with his players. We are confident that he will bring
the University of Delaware men's basketball program to prominence in the CAA."
A 1992 graduate of Winston-Salem State where he played for legendary head
coach Clarence "Big House" Gaines, Ross has been surrounded by championship
basketball throughout his coaching career. After beginning his career at
Lehigh in 1993-94, he spent two seasons as an assistant at Delaware's top
rival Drexel, leading the Dragons to consecutive North Atlantic Conference
titles and NCAA Tournament berths in 1995 and 1996 under head coach Bill
He joined the Saint Joseph's staff in 1996-97 during Phil Martelli's second
season as head coach. The Hawks have risen to national prominence under
Martelli, participating in post-season action eight times, including each of
the last six seasons. During his tenure, the Hawks have won five Atlantic 10
regular season titles, one conference tournament title, posted five seasons
with 20 or more wins, and in the past six years have compiled a 141-54 record,
averaging 23 wins per season.

Lorna Smith, of Linlithgow and West Lothian, is the star female figure set to parade her skills in this weeks Finals Stage of the Bowls Scotland National Championships at Ayr Northfield with the former Word No1 bidding to capture the Singles crown for a fourth time in five years.Read More
Smith's phenomenal feat of three title wins in a row was followed by a shock defeat in last years final and the question now being asked far and wide is "has her spell of dominance now been broken". Mental Strength is a major feature of the Smith make up and combined with her supremely consistent high performance levels over many years there is an understandably air of self assurance about her play.
Smith's shock defeat in the 2015 final does nothing to diminish her reputation as a giant of the sport but it did show that she is vulnerable when unable to hit top form and it may encourage her opponents to have a real go. Her first round test comes in the shape of fellow Scotland cap Lynn Lees of Townhill (Dunfermline) while other notable names in the 32 strong line up includes former national champions Karen Dawson of Denny (2003) and Marie Todd of Newtown St Boswells (2008). Hope springs eternal but ladies national title celebrations are extremely rare occasions in the Capital City with the Edinburgh fraternity of female bowlers notoriously shy of basking in the limelight of Scottish Championship success.
Mary Price of Sighthill did team up with her grandson John McDermott to capture The Mixed Pairs crown in 2014 and Mandy O'Donnell of Bainfield hoisted the Junior Singles Trophy above her head in 2010. It was, the since celebrated, French Lady Juliette Sharpe of Wardie that last brought the Singles title proper back to Edinburgh in 1967 so current campaigners Wilma MacDonald of Goldenacre and Hilda Melrose of Sighthill have massive time gap to bridge. Melrose has two bites of the cherry this week as she plays lead to her husband Adam in the Mixed Pairs and with that discipline swinging into action today it brings her the benefit of acclimatisation to the greens and the occasion.
Christine Curran of Polton is the spearhead figure for the Midlothian challenge in these championships while Louise Morgan of Cockenzie & Port Seton fills that role for East Lothian. It is the Edinburgh outskirts that enjoy the highest profiles in the quest to capture the Pairs Crown with West Lothian based three times champions Sandra Steven and Kirsteen McLelland of Uphall Station bidding to add to their triumphs of 2006, 2008, and 2014.
But East Lothian aces Leanne and Lauren Baillie have an even better record with the Cockenzie and Port Seton sisters act much fancied to trigger the title winning salute for a fifth time having done so in 2009, 2011, 2012, and 2013.
The Edinburgh banner is represented by Muriel Clelland and Katherine Beveridge of Wardie also Margaret Turner and multiple club champion Helen Girdler of Balerno while Newbattle duo Margaret Gardiner and Helen Duncanson fly the flag for Midlothian. Currie celebrated title glory in 2000 and Joan Ballantyne is back skipping a new front-end in Jean Smith and Margaret Barrie while Nicola Barclay of London Road Foundry is at the helm for Vicki Mackay and Pat Turner.
Colinton sisters Linda Pica and Sandra Slater are no strangers to the national stage at Ayr in the company of Cathy Stark and the three are joined this week by Bette Jackson, at second, in a bid to capture the Seniors Fours title.
The West Lothian banner in the Seniors Singles is carried by a weel kent figure in the shape of former cap Angela Uttley of Glenmavis who won four of the six finals she reached in The Edinburgh Open Singles at Balgreen. Uttley also contested the all West Lothian singles final proper in 2012 and was just touched off in a 21-20 thriller with Lorna Smith. Jean Meiklejohn of Corstorphine and Rosemary Mackintosh of London Road Foundry represent the Edinburgh challenge, both are stalwart campaigners and expected to be up a good show,
The talented Mackintosh clan are further represented in the Mixed Pairs with daughter Gillian and son Scott bidding to repeat their 2011 title triumph.
A prominent show is also hoped for from 2000 national singles champion John McCrorie who skips his niece Dee Hoggan of Tranent.

2:1 And the word of Jehovah came to me, saying,
2:2 Go and cry in the ears of Jerusalem, saying, Thus saith Jehovah: I remember for thee the kindness of thy youth, the love of thine espousals, when thou wentest after me in the wilderness, in a land not sown.
2:3 Israel was holiness unto Jehovah, the first-fruits of his increase: all that devour him are guilty; evil shall come upon them, saith Jehovah.
2:4 Hear the word of Jehovah, house of Jacob, and all the families of the house of Israel.
2:5 Thus saith Jehovah: What injustice have your fathers found in me, that they are gone far from me, and have walked after vanity, and become vain?
2:6 And they said not, Where is Jehovah, that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, that led us in the wilderness, in a land of deserts and of pits, in a land of drought and of the shadow of death, in a land that no one passeth through, and where no man dwelleth?
2:7 And I brought you into a fruitful land, to eat the fruit thereof and the good thereof; and ye entered and defiled my land, and made my heritage an abomination.
2:8 The priests said not, Where is Jehovah? and they that handled the law knew me not; and the shepherds transgressed against me; and the prophets prophesied by Baal, and walked after [things that] do not profit.
2:9 Therefore will I yet plead with you, saith Jehovah, and with your children's children will I plead.
2:10 For pass over to the isles of Chittim, and see; and send unto Kedar, and consider diligently, and see if there have been such a thing.
2:11 Hath a nation changed [its] gods? and they are no gods; -- but my people have changed their glory for that which doth not profit.
2:12 Be astonished, ye heavens, at this, and shudder; be amazed very much, saith Jehovah.
2:13 For my people have committed two evils: they have forsaken me, the fountain of living waters, to hew them out cisterns, broken cisterns that hold no water.
2:14 Is Israel a bondman? Is he a home-born [slave]? Why is he become a spoil?
2:15 The young lions roared against him, they gave forth their voice, and they made his land desolate: his cities are burned, without inhabitant.
2:16 Even the children of Noph and Tahapanes have fed on the crown of thy head.
2:17 Hast thou not procured this unto thyself, in that thou hast forsaken Jehovah thy God, at the time he was leading thee in the way?
2:18 And now, what hast thou to do with the way of Egypt, to drink the waters of Shihor? And what hast thou to do with the way of Assyria, to drink the waters of the River?
2:19 Thine own wickedness chastiseth thee, and thy backslidings reprove thee: know then and see that it is an evil thing and bitter that thou hast forsaken Jehovah thy God, and that my fear is not in thee, saith the Lord, Jehovah of hosts.
2:20 For of old thou hast broken thy yoke, [and] burst thy bands; and thou saidst, I will not serve. For upon every high hill, and under every green tree, thou bowest down, playing the harlot.
2:21 And I, -- I had planted thee a noble vine, wholly a right seed; how then art thou turned into the degenerate shoots of a strange vine unto me?
2:22 For though thou wash thee with nitre, and take thee much potash, thine iniquity is marked before me, saith the Lord Jehovah.
2:23 How sayest thou, I am not defiled, I have not gone after the Baals? See thy way in the valley, acknowledge what thou hast done -- a swift dromedary traversing her ways!
2:24 -- a wild ass, used to the wilderness, that snuffeth up the wind in her desire! In her ardour, who shall turn her away? All they that seek her will not weary themselves; in her month they shall find her.
2:25 Withhold thy foot from being unshod, and thy throat from thirst. But thou saidst, There is no hope; no, for I love strangers, and after them will I go.
2:26 As a thief is ashamed when he is found, so shall the house of Israel be ashamed -- they, their kings, their princes, and their priests, and their prophets --
2:27 saying to a stock, Thou art my father; and to a stone, Thou hast brought me forth; for they have turned the back unto me, and not the face; and in the time of their trouble they will say, Arise, and save us!
2:28 Where then are thy gods that thou hast made for thyself? let them arise, if they can save thee in the time of thy trouble: for as the number of thy cities, are thy gods, O Judah.
2:29 Wherefore would ye contend with me? Ye all have transgressed against me, saith Jehovah.
2:30 In vain have I smitten your children: they received no correction. Your own sword hath devoured your prophets, like a destroying lion.
2:31 O generation, mark ye the word of Jehovah. Have I been a wilderness unto Israel, or a land of thick darkness? Wherefore say my people, We have dominion; we will come no more unto thee?
2:32 Doth a virgin forget her ornaments, a bride her attire? But my people have forgotten me days without number.
2:33 How dost thou trim thy way to seek love! Therefore hast thou also accustomed thy ways to wickedness.
2:34 Yea, in thy skirts is found the blood of the souls of the innocent poor, whom thou didst not encounter breaking in, but [it is found] upon all these.
2:35 And thou sayest, Indeed I am innocent; his anger will turn from me. Behold, I will enter into judgment with thee because thou sayest, I have not sinned.
2:36 Why dost thou gad about so much, and change thy way? Thou shalt also be brought to shame by Egypt, as thou wast brought to shame by Assyria.
2:37 Thou shalt indeed go forth from her with thy hands upon thy head; for Jehovah hath rejected those thou confidest in, and thou shalt not prosper by them.

Do senders time information to take advantage of periods of high or low recipient attention? We explore this question with official US corporate information filings after-hours in our paper 'Night Fever: Investor Inattention and the Timing of Corporate Filings'.
Corporate news is a great setting to study the interaction between senders and recipients of information for several reasons. First, regulation requires public firms to disclose relevant news in a standardized way that leaves little freedom in terms of content and format, except for the timing of the news release. The timing of news is an important object of interest because it is a strategic decision of the sender. Moreover, it is well defined empirically and it affects the recipient's response. Second, institutional characteristics shape the distribution of attention and the ability to act upon corporate information at different times of the day, resulting in distinctly identifiable regimes.
Far from conventional wisdom, evenings are not a time of limited attention and hiding of bad news. Instead, there is a rich structure of attention, opportunities to trade, price formation, and opacity. We document three distinct information regimes within the hours after market closure:
- an early period (4.00-4.45pm) in which both investor attention (grey line in Figure I) and over the counter (OTC) liquidity is still high (green line in Figure II);
- a late period (4.45-5.30pm) in which investor attention is high (grey line in Figure I) but liquidity is low (green line in Figure II);
- an overnight period (5.30pm-6am) after the closing of the SEC filing system. Filings submitted during that time are not posted immediately. Instead, they are put in a buffer and become available simultaneously the next day at 6 am. This creates a decrease of information flow throughout the night as well as an information overload on the morning that decreases investors' attention per filing (green dotted line in Figure I).
Figure I. Number of downloads by filing time.
Figure II. Number of filings and dollar volume across the day.
With a sample of 581,954 filings of current events (8Ks) from 1994 to 2012 we show that firms time news according to the three regimes to take advantage of these attention patterns and trading opportunities. In terms of aggregate numbers, the number of filings abruptly increase just after the official trading closes (black line). As the evening progresses, this high influx of filings changes character in terms of relevance, sign, and complexity of news (Figure III). Patterns also arise in terms of the type of news filed during each regime:
(1) big news is released right after market closure allowing for trading opportunities without price feedback;
(2) complex news later in the evening when investor attention is maximized; and
(3) bad news is more frequent in the overnight period, where the informational blackout generates minimal investor attention.
Big vs small news: trading volume in the first 24 hours after release
Complex vs simple news: length of a filing in words
Good vs bad nes: ex-ante good vs ex-ante bad news category
Figure III. The character of disclosure in the after-hours.
The effects are sharply discontinuous at the relevant thresholds (Figure III). News that seem negative on first inspection but turn out to be not so negative are abnormally represented in the late after-hours period, when attention is high, but prices are not posted simultaneously. These results jointly suggest that firms strategically allocate the timing of their news based on their relevance, complexity and obfuscation opportunities.
Besides describing the rich institutional structure of the after-hours period and establishing the motives for strategic timing of news within this period, our results imply that the timing of news is not exogenous. Firms strategically choose when to release news, even within the time periods of one day. Our finding that the timing of disclosure is strategic has implications for this literature, as well as the wider literature on news and asset pricing which often takes the arrival of news as exogenous. We hope that our findings will help future research in interpreting the content or reactions to news.
