Who Is Ashley Thompson?
Louisa Ashley Thompson was born in 1974, in Memphis, Tennessee USA, and is best known for being the wife of former professional American Football quarterback Peyton Manning, who is noted for his achievements in the National Football League (NFL). She is credited for helping Peyton throughout his career.
The Riches of Ashley Thompson?
How rich is Ashley Thompson? As of early-2018, sources inform us of a net worth that is over $1 million, earned through success in her various endeavors, including participating in various business and investment endeavors, and from supporting her husband. As she continues her career, it is expected that her wealth will also continue to increase.
Meeting Peyton Manning
She and Peyton knew each other before his NFL fame, as the two were introduced through the Manning's next door neighbor in 1993, just before Peyton would go to his freshman year in college. Eventually the two started dating, and eventually married in 2001 on St. Patrick's Day. The two would go on to have twin boys and a daughter. Due to Peyton's popularity in the sport, the family has been closely followed by the media, though the couple do their best to keep their children out of the spotlight, although there are a few occasions that their children do appear, but only briefly at post-game press conferences.
Working in the Background
Thompson is known to stay out of the spotlight, much like her children, though the two have attended events together. They've appeared at red carpet occasions including at a State Dinner at the White House. She's known to be very competitive, and that competitive spirit has also helped her husband through tough times. In 2011-12, Manning had to miss the entire season due to a neck injury, undergoing surgery and therapy to help get his neck back in order, and during which time many questioned his capability to continue playing the game at the same level.
During this time, the Denver Broncos started offering him a contract to play with them, but he wasn't so sure about signing since he didn't know if he could play at the same level. His wife was the one who supported him and told him that he should at least try. He then got back to playing which eventually led him to another Super Bowl victory, solidifying his status as one of the greatest NFL players of all time.
Other Endeavors
In 2012, it was reported that Ashley was one of the group of potential minority owners put together by Robert J. Pera to become owners of the National Basketball Association (NBA) team, the Memphis Grizzlies, and which included singer Justin Timberlake and several other Memphis businessmen. She decided to join the group as she was a native of Memphis, and she wanted the team to stay in Tennessee, since they make a positive impact on the community.
Ashley Thompson on Social Media – Instagram, Facebook, Twitter
Much like many wives of famous sports personalities and athletes, she generally maintains her privacy and keeps away of the spotlight by not having any social media accounts on the major social media websites, including Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. Her family including Manning himself has stated that she is a very private person, though she joins him to appear at some public events.
The same can be said for her husband, who despite the strong media presence even after his retirement from the sport, doesn't have any social media presence on the major websites. The two's pictures that appear online are mostly taken by various media outlets, or fans.
Community Work
The couple has been known to do a lot of community work during their free time. In 1999, Peyton established the PeyBack Foundation which helps disadvantaged youth with growth opportunities and leadership programs, which is known to have raised and donated over $13 million in grants and programs since its inception. The Foundation particularly looks to help neglected and abused children. They set up summer camps, after-school programs, and look after foster children. Peyton and his wife are the ones who make the major decisions for the foundation, and have been credited with its success.

Me, just arrived!
After we stepped out from the Resort's Lobby, we all were greeted by a clown, the entertainer, who made cute arts from balloons in seconds. He pumped the balloons, created a shape for the balloons in seconds and gave them away to the kids for free. My nieces got a heart shape balloon, a bear balloon and a cat balloon (which looked more like a tiger to me) from him. Adults and kids were amazed by his skill for balloon arts. This chap must have been practicing shaping balloons all day long for many years.
The clown and his balloons.
View from the top: The French Village's Square - Facade in Bukit Tinggi.
Moving on, we had lunch at Le Poulet Roti. This restaurant serves food similar to Nando's peri-peri chicken's concept.
Not bad, but Nando's serves better food. Sorry.
There's not much activity for us to do around this French-Village so we all just loitered around the village and stroke poses with the unique architecture setting as the background. When we visited, it happened to be no scheduled attractions showing either at this place.
Silly pose with the clock tower.
Husband and I in front of the Wishing Well.
You don't want to look inside the well.
This place intrigued me to act as a Rapunzel.
Even the windows are good as photo backgrounds too.
Knights Armors like this one were everywhere inside the Resort.
Honestly, there were not much activities for us to do at Colmar Tropicale other than sightseeing and taking photos thus we were there for only about three hours. However, this place was quite interesting to explore as their French village's designs are quite charming and distinctive in Asia. This resort offers horse riding experience, Japanese Tea Ceremony and Rabbit Farm Visit too but we unfortunately we skipped these activities during our visit since we needed to pay extra money to enjoy all these.

This week's Charlotte begins with a rather unpleasant scene of Nao being dragged out of class and beaten behind the school by a mob of other girls. Yuu follows but doesn't interfere, but what's unclear is whether Nao is disappointed or glad about it. He presumes it's what she gets for messing with people with her invisibility. He knows what it's like to bear misdeeds; he's perpetrated plenty of his own with his body-swapping.
And yet, while Yuu doesn't play the role of the shining knight swooping in to save Nao from her tormentors, with or without his ability, Yusa and Joujirou both agree they're "not an unpleasant couple to be around" due to their natural chemistry and spouse-like interactions. If they didn't care about each other one way or another, they wouldn't fight; that kinda thing.
Nao believes the Council's next target is up in the mountains near the city practicing his flying ability (the downside to the power is never mentioned). The best way she believes to do that is to set up camp and stake the place out indefinitely until they either spot him or he comes to them.
In the process of camping the group participates in typical group-bonding activites that take place during camping, like starting a fire, roasting corn, meat, and vegetables, playing video games, and stargazing. The latter is something only Nao and Yuu do, with the latter finding her alone listening to a group called ZHIEND, whose lead vocalist and composer is blind.
In another indication Yuu and Nao are a somewhat fated couple, he gets the same feeling from the quiet music as she does: that of being in a vast, gorgeous, lonely open space. She even gifts him her music player, excited as she is to find a fellow fan. The music makes Yuu remember the face of girl who looks a lot like a younger Ayumi but who he doesn't know, but he's woken from the dream when it's his turn to keep watch.
On the second night of the camping stakeout, Yuu and Jou bathe in the river, where Jou tells Yuu it's best if he set romantic plans aside until two years from now, when they'll lose their abilities. It makes me wonder if this show will let us see that future and how it changes these classmates and colleagues who are gradually becoming friends.
It really is a journey-not-destination kind of episode, as the flying kid mission is wrapped up extremely easily. Yuu swaps bodies with him and ends up several thousand feet above the ground (an awesome sight, to be sure), and when he comes down softly but slightly banged up, less than a minute of convincing from Nao persuades the guy to stop using his ability.
Back home, there isn't much pizza sauce left, and so Yuu gets his first tolerable meal frmo Ayumi in a long time. He also manages to convince her not to put it in everything, finally. But then Ayu starts coughing, and her temperature is 37.8, prompting Yuu to get her under a futon. Hopefully Ayumi doesn't get sicker as a prelude to the awakening of her own power; but I'll admit that's not outside the realm of possibility.

The post-apocalypse thriller is becoming a genre in its own right. Literary authors like Cormac McCarthy have produced books of this type, and I can recall examples from the past 50 years. I spoke with Alex Adams about White Horse, the first in a projected trilogy about life on earth after a virus kills 90% of the world's population.
The protagonist is Zoe, a young woman who survived the plague, and the depredations of some of the unsavory humans left behind. Now she is pregnant and searching for her baby's father, and a safe place. Here is a brief bio from Alex's website: Alex Adams was born in New Zealand, raised in Greece and Australia, and currently lives in Oregon–which is a whole lot like New Zealand, minus those freaky-looking wetas. Her debut novel, White Horse (Emily Bestler Books/Atria) hits shelves April 17, 2012. Her fingers are crossed that the world won't end before then.

Dubai's Waste-to-Energy Plant – Renewable Electricity for 120,000 Homes
The plant supplies electricity at a rate proportional to the energy consumed by 2,000 Burj Khalifa skyscrapers
Dubai's government announced the launch of its long-awaited waste-to-energy plant which is to be built in Warsan area, the industrial hub of this emirate. Dubai hopes to be the first city to completely induce the use of safe electricity with this very much anticipated project. The plant, which is expected to be fully functional by 2020, is able to convert 5,000 of the 8,000 tonnes of solid waste produced in Dubai daily and generate 185MW of electrical energy for the Dubai Municipal. This will contribute about 2 percent of the electricity consumed in Dubai yearly.
It is to supply electricity to about 120,000 homes at a rate proportional to energy consumed by 2,000 Burj Khalifa skyscrapers, said representatives of the government. The plant will be built on a two-hectare plot and is supposed to be the largest and best operating waste-to-energy plant the world has ever seen, the officials boasted. Work is set to begin in a few months, wrapped up and the plant made functional before the Dubai Expo 2020. A feat the government is confident they can achieve.
Dubai's waste-to-energy plant, which has been assigned a budget of Dh2.5 billion is proposed to treat 1.82 million tonnes of solid waste each year, said Hussain Nasser Lootah, Director General of Dubai Municipality. Lootah added that the main aim of the project is to give support and longevity to Dubai. This will improve the sustainability of the city and will be done in partnership with DEWA (Dubai Electricity and Water Agency), he meant.
Dubai's Waste-to-Energy Plant Provides More Than 10,000MW of Electricity to the City
Dubai's waste-to-energy plant is to be connected to DEWA's grid through HV 132kV cables. This modern power source will make for a sustainable electricity supply and confident Dubai, combating the rise of carbon footprint in the city. The project is also to help reduce the electricity tariff by broadening options of the power supply, maintaining longevity and providing more than 10,000MW of renewable electricity to the city.
Dubai hopes to fully produce at least 75% of its own electricity output with green sources and technologies by 2050 as its Clean Energy Strategy demands. This new plant, fed with renewable sources, makes an essential contribution to this challenging objective and will reduce the carbon footprint of the city.
The facility will be designed to reuse solid waste, industrial waste and commercial waste by recovering the energy and treating the resultant gases of combustion. Residues can be recovered from the process, will be 100% recyclable, and be dispersed as such. Residues like metals and so on will be sent out for recycling. The flue gas will go up high-pressure steam turbines which will make use of its mechanical energy to produce electricity. Flue gas from the process will be treated with lime and filtered to maintain a safe working environment. With this project, the Dubai government hopes to beat leading countries in energy supply, make its city safer to live in, and in turn increase its tourism.

YouTube Music rolls out gapless playback for albums on Android and web
YouTube Music was launched in May 2018, taking over the reins from Google Play Music as Google's primary music player app. While YouTube Music was launched with the key advantage of being able to tap into the plethora of official music videos and unofficial remixes present on YouTube, it did lack several key features that affect its usability as a music player. Features like SD card support, new album sort options, and quality selection were promised in August 2018; Android Auto support was added in February 2019, the ability to play locally stored media finally came in May 2019, and the Android widget finally came in October 2019. And now, finally, YouTube Music is rolling out gapless playback support for albums on Android and web.
YouTube Music announced the feature in a press release:
We're excited to announce gapless playback in YouTube Music. Now, when listening to an album on YouTube Music, each track will lead seamlessly into the next without a pause in between for a high quality, continuous listening experience. Listening to your favorite albums has never been better! This update is currently for our premium members only on Android or web, with iOS coming soon.
YouTube Music users on Android and web can finally transition between songs without a pause interrupting their listening experience. The catch here is that the feature is limited to premium members only, which is a shame. Keep in mind that the app still requires a premium membership for the basic feature of background playback as a simple music player, which is a shame for an app that comes pre-installed on Android 9+ devices. For paid customers, the app does have some neat features though, such as the ability to automatically download up to 500 songs (including a "Liked" playlist), which has served me very well for long flights — the Premium membership does have its own benefits.

text: If you spend any time driving through the San Joaquin Valley, the vast stretch of fields and orchards between Sacramento and Bakersfield, you will notice the almond trees. Hundreds of thousands of acres of almond trees, to be exact. An ocean of almond, orchards without end. Soon, in February, the trees will bloom into an immeasurable white coverlet. The Valley is where most of the world's almonds are produced. Almonds also happen to be the state's most successful crop for the past several years. These little nuts have beaten California's iconic grapes to become the no. 2 commodity here. (Dairy is no. 1 in terms of revenues, but the dairy industry has had a dismal year.) Almond farmers are making money, and that's good news in a region struggling to emerge from the recession. But others now want in on this cash cow crop. Outside investors have been buying up California's farmland, investing into almonds and other nuts. What does it mean for the Valley? Read my story here: AP-Farmland Investors

Stay Cool, Calm and Hydrated this Summer
During the summer season the qualities of 'pitta dosha,' which are hot, light and dry, are clearly obvious in the weather. The sun shines more often; the hours of daylight are longer; the earth dries out more quickly. No matter which dosha is predominant in our nature, we all notice the increase of these pitta qualities also in our bodies, minds and emotions during the hot season.
We naturally search out cooling lakes and streams to absorb the skin's heat; we are drawn to eating cooling coconut, juicy melons, and cucumbers; we crave liquids – water, green drinks, cooling herbal teas. To keep our pitta in balance at this time of year, we are naturally drawn to foods and activities that are cooling, moist, heavy and oily.
The first step in staying balanced is to be on the lookout for signs of increase in your predominant doshas (your prakruti) and in the dosha that predominates during the time of day, the season and the stage of life you are in. Be aware of signs of increased pitta dosha, the only one that carries the hot quality:
- fever or inflammation
- sensitivity to heat, or feeling flushed
- occasional heartburn or acid reflux
- skin rashes and eruptions such as boils and acne
- loose stools or more frequent bowel movements
- yellow or green coating on the tongue
- unusual lethargy
- low blood sugar
- Irritability, intensity, intolerance or impatience
- overworking or burning the candle at both ends
- excessive sweating and
- difficulty falling asleep.
Whether you are pitta predominant or just sensitive to the change of season, there are numerous life-style, dietary, and exercise modifications you can make to be more comfortable, and to ward off excessive dryness when the autumn winds start to blow.
Changes to your Diet
- Choose juicy seasonal fruits, like watermelon, cantaloupe, blueberries, plums, nectarines & peaches.
- Eat more foods that are sweet, bitter, astringent / cool and moist – such as salads, steamed vegetables, fresh fruits. Coconut is especially refreshing during summer!
- Reduce hot, spicy, heavy foods such as onion and garlic, coffee, salsa and spicy foods, as well as heavy protein and nuts. The sour and salty tastes also increase pitta, so go easy on them.
- Limit dry foods such as chips and rice cakes; the weather provides plenty of vata dryness for the system.
- Include more moist, bitter and astringent vegetables like summer squash, dark leafy greens (collards, kale) and asparagus in your evening stir-fry.
- Digestive spices like cumin, coriander, fennel and turmeric are helpful to cool and support the health of the digestive microbiome.
Increase hydration
- Sip 2-3 cups of cool or room temperature water first thing, with a squeeze of lemon and 1-2 T. aloe vera gel or juice for a cooling effect.
- Take coconut water in the afternoon to keep cool and hydrated.
- Prepare a green drink with fresh cilantro, mint, spinach, kale and/or wheat grass. Green drinks can include any dark leafy greens and herbs, as well as watery summer squash and fennel. Blend quickly with water and season with ginger, turmeric, coriander, or any favorite spices. It's easy to digest, encourages detoxification and provides absorbable vitamins, minerals and enzymes. Many people like to dilute the drink with more water, or you can enjoy it as a quick, short shot!
- Drink herbal teas such as mint, hibiscus, chamomile, dandelion and chicory.
Modify your Daily Routines (Dinacharya)
- Self massage with sunflower, coconut oil or a combination of the two.
- Plan to exercise in the cool of the morning or evening hours, never in the heat of a summer's day. Always avoid excessive activity during midday heat, as it can be draining and lead to exhaustion and heat stroke.
- Practice asana in a slow and disciplined fashion; no need to generate excess heat with a vigorous practice. You may think of other activities to which this principle applies.
- Breathe slowly in and out through the left nostril. With your right thumb, hold your right nostril closed. Pause at the inhale and exhale. Or practice shitali or sitkare; all these practices are cooling and calming.
- Do not skip meals. You may choose smaller breakfast and dinners, but do enjoy your relaxing main meal before 2 pm.
- Carve out time each day to rest; slow the pace of life enough to take breaks – meditate, chant, sing or walk along the river for an hour.
- Avoid pushing yourself. Even if you can't take a vacation, you may be able to approach your work life with a calm, relaxing attitude – a boon to yourself, as well as your co-workers.
Food, drink and lifestyle practices all contribute to our sense of well-being. Living in tune with the natural cycle of the seasons means that we gently modify what we do and how we do it as life unfolds. While maintaining a regular pattern to our lives, at the same time we gradually adjust the specifics of each day, while taking into account the weather, our stage of life, our prakruti, the season, the kind of work we're engaged in, as well as the state of our relationships.
Bringing new awareness to all these factors in our life, of how they support and balance each other, allows us to make the choices in each moment that support our on-going health and wellness. The slow, relaxing pace of summer is actually healthy for us; so go ahead, make a batch of iced hibiscus/mint tea, take time out for a swim this afternoon, have watermelon for supper . . . enjoy and be healthy all season long!

This product is offered by a Les and Jane who have been living "off grid" for the past 15 years. They drive their own homemade electric car and use solar and wind energy to run their house.
Once we have all this power stored in our battery bank we need to convert it to usable ac power. This is accomplished by our 2500 watt inverter. The battery bank and the inverter are connected by very large gauge welding cables. An inverter takes the 12 volt dc power from the battery bank and changes it to 120 volts of ac power so that we can use household appliances such as coffee makers, microwaves for use in our travel trailer and most importantly on our service truck, for all our power tools.
Many homeowners are not too fond of the idea of spending over $10,000 or $20,000 for solar power kits. I am sure after looking at the price for a solar power system for your home, you are discouraged to invest you money for that system. Notice how I used the word "invest", because it truly is an investment when you are installing a solar power system for your home. However that is a topic discussion for some other time, so for this article lets focus on making your own autoconsumo electrico.
A mentor is not an absolute a young person wants to become. He or she is the example of what life can be faults and all.The mentor has seen more of life knows what self-consumption may lie ahead in the chosen path and can possibly help steer clear of potential hazards. When you hear someone say, " well, this is what happened to me," it gives faith that there will be time to change, amend the error, or make a better choice to begin with.
Sheets of copper. This material too can be found at your local hardware store. A square foot prices at about $5 per square foot and should be pretty accessible.
When you really think about it, it isn't too surprising that by using the power of the Sun for such an undertaking, solar electricity can become a reality, if we look at the incredible statistics related to the Sun.
The road to London may be paved with gold, but generally everything else comes in a shade of boring Tarmac…. unless you're visiting the Morton Arboretum in the USA. To add a bit of colour to their paths they've opted for recycled glass. Naturally, the glass has been rounded off to make it completely safe and it looks a lot prettier than Tarmac.
Now you are geared up to begin transforming the sun's power straight into your very own useful electrical power. Secure the box firmly and be sure to place the panel in an optimum location for getting the sun's rays. After a full day under the sunshine you should have built up a nice source of Build-it-yourself solar electrical power.

Case Western Reserve Law Professor Raymond Ku has opened a suit against the school's dean, Lawrence Mitchell, claiming that after he reported Mitchell's sexual harassment of a staff-member, and possibly others, he suffered retaliation. Ku not only complained of the dean's possible sexual harassment, which he claims to have personally witnessed at a party in which the dean allegedly caressed a female staff member, but has talked with staff members about other instances, and has compiled a list of inappropriate comments. He bothered to send this information out as a flyer that asked questions about his conduct to female students and gave the alleged comment that he said of a graduate student she "wasn't good for anything but keeping the bed warm."
Ku is being represented by Subodh Chandra, who says that Ku "lost his position as associate dean, he was even stripped as the Director of the Center of Law, Technology of the Arts which he had been recruited at Case to Lead," and their statement also cites pay cuts.
"Professor Ku paid a high price for doing what was both required and right—standing up for victims at great personal risk and reporting to senior university officials Dean Mitchell's potential harassment," Chandra said. "But retaliation is illegal and a law-school dean should know he is not above the law."
The school replied in writing, saying, as cleveland.com reported, "This situation is categorically not an instance of retaliation. Professor Ku continues to hold a full-time, tenured faculty position at the School of Law. The lawsuit itself includes inaccuracies, as well as an inflammatory flier that has been found to be materially false. The university will have additional comment upon more thorough review of the suit and opposing counsel's press release."
Case Law's Associate Dean for Faculty Development and Research Jessie Hill corroborated with this statement, denying she had ever observed Mitchell to exhibit inappropriate behavior. On the contrary, she cited the improvements he had made as a dean, saying "Dean Mitchell has worked to increase diversity and equity since he arrived at our law school. He has addressed historical pay disparities between male and female faculty, launched a dynamic Women's Law and Leadership Initiative, and increased the proportion of women and underrepresented minorities within our recent entering classes."
As part of Ku's statement against Mitchell, he also noted that Mitchell made comments regarding Ku's Chinese heritage and his conversion to Judaism, adding a personal touch to his plight.

Geoff Sawers reviews my newest short collection The Silence Teacher in Magma Poetry.
He notes its "consistently even, deeply muted tones" that betray "very little of either self-pity or self-absorption" and declares it an "uneasy, affecting and unforgettable collection".
Magma has become one of my favourite UK literary journals, in part for its tremendous variety; its poetry editors rotate with every issue. I am delighted by the mention, and pleased to be reviewed alongside the up-and-comer Rachel Piercey and well-known poet Martin Figura.

ARTIST: The Apples in Stereo
TITLE: Fun Trick Noisemaker
CHART ACTION: None
SINGLES: None
OTHER SONGS YOU MAY KNOW: Fans of the Elephant 6 movement have this.
LINEUP: Hilarie Sidney, Robert Schneider, John Hill with Jim McIntrye, Kurt Heasley, Joel Evans, Jeff Mangum and Kyle Jones chipping in on occasion.
WHAT'S IT ALL ABOUT: Rather twee indie psychedelic pop band's first album is also near Ground Zero for the Elephant 6 collective of indie pop.
SOME WORDS, PHRASES AND CLAUSES ABOUT THIS RECORD: The Apples in Stereo balance their sweet indie pop with some interesting psychedelic sounds and production. This helps some of the cuts from being way too twee.
The main Apple is Robert Schneider, who has a gift in melody and pop song structure. Drummer and vocalist Hilarie Sidney contributes some sweet backing vocals, but at times her contributions really make it a bit too sweet and syrupy.
There are a lot of melodies and hooks, running around, so you'll find a few tracks that will tap your toes. It's kind of lo-fi and that affects some of the things they were able to do. Fans of indie power pop will find some cuts they love.
NOTES & MINUTIAE: The band had a few EPs under their belt, and Schneider had been learning album production since age 15.
IS THERE A DELUXE VERSION: Two extra cuts for Japan.
GRADE: B+: I can hum along to most of this, it's just some songs that are too sugary.

"I want to thank the Clan Currie Society for holding this year's Tartan Day festival in the South Street Seaport," said City Council Member Margaret Chin.
New York, NY (PRWEB) March 15, 2013
"Tartan Day at the South Street Seaport" will officially open New York Tartan Week on Saturday, March 30. The program will run from 11 am to 3 pm, rain or shine. The program is offered to the public free-of-charge. Performers at the event include the Rampant Lion Pipe Band, the New York Celtic Dancers and the NY Harp Orchestra.
The program is produced by the Clan Currie Society – one of the country's leading Scottish heritage organizations. The Seaport event opens NY Tartan Week – a two-week festival of all things Scottish, including a Scottish fashion show, whisky tastings, and a parade featuring pipe bands, clans and Scottish dogs.
Usually held on Ellis Island, the 2013 event has been temporarily relocated to Pier 17 at the Seaport due to ongoing Hurricane Sandy repairs. For Society president and Tartan Day producer Robert Currie, the move to the South Street Seaport is fortuitous. "We are absolutely delighted to be bringing our Tartan Week program to the beautiful South Street Seaport. Like Ellis Island, the Seaport also sustained damage during Superstorm Sandy but has been fortunate to remain open. We're delighted to help draw the public back to this Lower Manhattan historic gem."
The Tartan Day event serves as an important reminder that the Seaport – home to a whole host of shops and restaurants as well as the South Street Seaport Museum - is open for business.
"I want to thank the Clan Currie Society for holding this year's Tartan Day festival in the South Street Seaport," City Council Member Margaret Chin said. "After hurricane Sandy, the Seaport is in desperate need of the support, and I know this festival will help bring much needed pedestrian traffic to the area. I look forward to participating in this year's festival and in celebrating all that Scottish culture has to offer."
"We're glad that our program can help drive visitors to the Seaport," said Currie. It's just one of many ways the Clan Currie Society has taken action to provide support in response to Hurricane Sandy."
The Clan Currie Society is a founding member of the New York Tartan Week Alliance, the official body coordinating many of the anchor events of NY Tartan Week including, the "From Scotland with Love" fashion show and charity fundraiser, the popular "Whisky Live" scotch tasting evening, and the "Celebration of Scotland's Treasures" dinner hosted by the National Trust for Scotland.

About Tartan Day on Ellis Island
Tartan Day on Ellis Island is one of the principal Scottish heritage events in the United States. Playing host to literally thousands of domestic and international visitors each year, it was the largest Tartan Day celebration in the world last year exceeding 70 thousand visitors.
Describing the program, noted Scottish journalist and author Roddy Martine reported that of all the Tartan Day events held in the United States, the Ellis Island observance has, "stood out as a beacon of what USA Tartan Day is all about: the emigrant ancestors of ordinary Americans who over three centuries crossed the Atlantic Ocean to create the world's greatest democracy."
Tartan Day on Ellis Island is produced by the Clan Currie Society - one of the preeminent Scottish heritage organizations in the United States. The Clan Currie Society first observed Tartan Day on Ellis Island in 2002. That year, Clan Currie and the National Museums of Scotland joined forces to host the traveling exhibit, "Home and Away: Highland Departures and Returns.
As part of the celebrations for Tartan Day 2011, the Clan Currie Society commissioned the new Ellis Island Tartan© to mark the 10th Anniversary of Tartan Day on Ellis Island. Each color in the tartan reflects upon the American immigrant experience. The blue represents the ocean that had to be crossed to reach the American shores. The copper-green is the color of the Statue of Liberty. The red depicts the bricks of the Ellis Island buildings where 12 million Americans took their first steps towards freedom. The gold is the golden door that is the United States of America and the dawn of a new life in America.
Brian Wilton, director of the Scottish Tartans Authority in Crieff, Scotland said: "As the first American footfall for millions of emigrants —including hundreds of thousands of Scots—Ellis Island plays an extremely important part in many family histories. It is entirely appropriate that all those whose American origins were born there should be able to celebrate and commemorate that momentous occasion by wearing the new Ellis Island Tartan."
About The Clan Currie Society
The Clan Currie Society is an international, non-profit cultural and educational organization. It is the preeminent Scottish-American cultural society in preserving and promoting Highland heritage at Scottish Games, ethnic festivals, as well as community groups and classrooms. The Society has over 2,000 members worldwide that gather via the Society's website and at special events and clan gatherings.
The Society was originally formed in Glasgow, Scotland in 1959 to further the knowledge and appreciation of the MacMhuirich (pronounced MacVurich) Bardic dynasty. The MacMhuirichs, originally from Sligo, served for over 700 years as professional poets to the Lords of the Isles and later to the MacDonalds of Clanranald among other prominent Highland clans and families. The Red Book of Clanranald, one of Gaelic Scotland's literary treasures, was penned by successive generations of the MacMhuirich family.
Today, the Society is a respected producer of programs and events to honor Scotland's rich culture and heritage. The Society's signature events include The Pipes of Christmas, the annual observance of Tartan Day on Ellis Island – the largest attended Tartan Day event in the world, and the annual MacMhuirich Academic Symposium. The Society's growing scholarship program provides financial support for students wishing to further their studies in music, poetry, and Gaelic history.
In honor of the clan's Bardic heritage, the Clan Currie Society is also the Title Sponsor for the Scottish Harp Society of America's National Championship. The harp or clarsach was the instrument of the bard. The Society also produces the Harp Glen – a festival of the Scottish Harp at the Seaside Highland Games in Ventura, CA – and participates in over a half dozen Scottish Highland Games in the US, Canada and Scotland.
The Society has spearheaded the construction of two permanent clan monuments in Scotland. A MacMhuirich Memorial Cairn has been built adjacent to the ruins of Bale nam Bàrd, the medieval home of the MacMhuirichs on the Island of South Uist. A memorial stone, commemorating the bard Lachlan Mòr MacMhuirich, has been installed at Makar's Court alongside the Scottish Writers Museum in Edinburgh.
Clan Currie is an outstanding producer of exhibitions and documentary films. Past exhibitions have included "The Life and Legacy of John Muir," "Tartan – Scotland's Enduring Icon," and "Loyalty and Rebellion: The Jacobites and America." The Society received one of its many awards for video production excellence for "The Crafter's Song", a documentary film narrated by Cliff Robertson. The film can be viewed on Clan Currie's YouTube channel on the web.

Put simply, an arborist is a tree doctor. Sometimes confused with a landscaper, arborists are knowledgeable about nature and its needs. They know how to perform the proper care and treatment when vegetation is sick. When dealing with trees and plants, arborists can cover a variety of responsibilities. These aspects include areas relating to growth, cultivation, pruning, disease identification and treatment, decay and other practical aspects or areas.
In performing these functions, arborists use a series of specialised equipment. The equipment used is pretty straightforward consisting of mostly common gardening equipment like a wheel barrow, spade, garden shearers. But in addition to trucks, ladders and rope.
The purpose and methodology behind an arborist report, is to protect the beautiful natural environment minimising negative externalities. This system effectively protects native and rare species.
Local councils will often require an arborist report when construction sites will disturb the surrounding environment. These arborist reports need to be produced by someone holding qualified certificates or diploma of some kind outlining the following details:
- Common names or scientific names of the plant(s) in question.
- Approximate height and age
- Canopy spread
- Diameter measurements
- Condition and structure health'
- Hazard assessment, if any hazards are present
- Life expectancy estimates using official practiced methods
With each of these arborist reports, supporting evidence is given whether that be photos etc. General discussion going through the minimization of damage and impacts is also given. Furthermore, preventative measures are suggested. Arborists reports protect trees.
Trees have a variety of short and long-term benefits. They produce oxygen and naturally clean the air. This allows them to naturally combat climate change reducing C02, carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
During this process, trees filter bad air. They can actually absorb odours and certain types of pollution when suspended and settled on leaves. These pollutants include nitrous oxides, ammonia or sulphur dioxide, thereby reducing air pollution levels. Pines are excellent at processing these pollutants.
Arborist reports suggest that trees have multiple aesthetic urban landscaping effects. The natural green colour of trees and plants is known to be calming and relieves eye strain. Greenery also has placebo like effects increasing concentration and reducing mental fatigue. This can be further extended into reduce violence in neighbourhoods that are usually barren. Saplings are also natural markers of the shift between season changes.
Used as natural screens, vegetation has the ability to block and absorb sound, using their thick branches and leaves to reduce noise pollution by up to 40 percent. This works more effectively with a large grouping of trees. With these natural structures, shade is created. This not only cools the streets and city but shields us from dangerous skin cancer causing ultra-violet rays. A very beneficial advantage to young sun prone children.
Seedlings balance ecosystems. They are a great source of wood, a very useful commodity for creating paper and other products. Additionally, forests are known to provide food with fruit bearing vegetation. This always creates economic opportunities resulting in seasonal work opportunities. These forests provide safe spaces for natural habitat.
Arborist reports propose that specific shrubs can be used to reduce salinity, high sodium chloride or salt content in dirt. In a similar fashion, this vegetation saves water by slowing water evaporation. As greenery transpires, it increases the moisture in in the atmosphere flowing into the natural water cycle.
During this process, water pollution is prevented by reducing rainfall and breaking rainfall. Water flows down the trunk and naturally into groundwater supplies rather than manmade stormwater drains. Larger canopies increase this effect.
Unlike conventional wisdom conducting arborist reports is not a seasonable job. The most common area is determining life expectancy. This is calculated using half-life, the time by which half of the trees can be expected to die.
Arborists reports are also used at development sites to indicate potentially effected environmental impacts.

How do you solve a problem like gingerbread? That's the question Helen Oyeyemi found herself answering while writing her sixth novel, aptly titled Gingerbread. The illustrious author's follow up to the short story collection What Is Yours Is Not Yours is a challenging book. It was challenging for Oyeyemi to write. It is challenging to describe. It is challenging to read—in the sense that it reads like very few books written this millennium.
It is also a rewarding book. Oyeyemi wrote Gingerbread in two of her favorite cities, places where she says she daydreams more recklessly. The result is a story about a mother who loves gingerbread more than nearly anything and her family's mysterious heritage.
The book, unlike her loose retelling of "Snow White" in Boy, Snow, Bird, doesn't directly link to a fairy tale—in this case "Hansel and Gretel." Rather, it asks why gingerbread was used by the witch to lure the two children at all.
I spoke with Oyeyemi about creating a problem book, what excites her about reading, and how Prague has influenced her career.
The Millions: Whenever most people describe your work, they compliment your "lyrical prose." What does writing lyrically mean for you? Or is that even how you describe your writing?
Helen Oyeyemi: I don't know how to describe it. I don't really recognize the lyrical and am always a bit puzzled by that. Unless it means lyrical in the way that Emily Dickinson writes a lyric, which is that you have a rhythm to it, and you have unexpected or abrupt breaks and it swerves into another image. I'm not quite sure what the other description could be.
TM: I was talking to a friend who is a poet last night and he said critics or fans write lyrical prose when the beauty of the work overwhelms them and they can't describe it.
HO: I like that people find it beautiful. I worry I don't do enough to create beauty.
TM: Your work captivates me, and I find myself rereading sentences. Not because it was unclear and confusing, but because it was so memorable. I recall an interview where you said you wince when you think about your future readers because you write challenging structures or themes or plots. Is that your goal? To challenge readers?
HO: With every project, I want it to be something fun to do, but also very difficult to do. I suppose the more books I write, the more interested I am in the process. The sense of exhilaration as I write. I suppose it leaves me less interested in the end result, but what I am hoping is that if I enter that space of exhilaration while writing, that the reader will feel the same way even though it is difficult. I don't want to say difficult. It's not the easiest read, but hopefully reading it is freeing for the reader.
TM: How did you want to challenge yourself this time around?
HO: I feel surprised by this book in a good way. It feels to have more heart than the other books. I wanted to write about gingerbread. I wanted to take the symbol of gingerbread you see in all of these stories. The idea of coziness, and it has a certain seasonal aspect to it. I wanted to take that and figure out what it means, but gingerbread was sort of resistant to that.
It turned into a story of all sorts of things like property and the values of what you have to offer. Whether the value is dependent on one person liking it—for example, Gretel liking the gingerbread, or not a lot of people liking Harriet's gingerbread.
I wanted to write a story about gingerbread, but gingerbread kept shifting to the side, telling me why don't you write about this instead.
TM: Did gingerbread lead you down paths that never made it into the book?
HO: I just recorded the audiobook and the director and I were talking about the book and the tone I would read it in. I kept referring to things that didn't make it into the book and the director must have been wondering what I was talking about. There was a whole university I wrote about that isn't in the book. I suppose it was like I built a gingerbread house and nibbled parts off for my own consumption and just offered the rest.
TM: You mentioned gingerbread is found a lot in stories throughout history. "Hansel and Gretel" is perhaps the most popular and might come to mind with your book just with the title. Especially considering Boy, Snow, Bird was linked to "Snow White." What draws you to the coziness of fairy tales?
HO: This one was less of a fairy tale and more of a problem book. The problem was trying to figure out what gingerbread means. It does play a role in "Hansel and Gretel," but the question is why was the house made of gingerbread. What was it about gingerbread that makes it inviting and menacing at the same time? It's as if we're saying home is delicious but also scary at the same time.
I wanted to figure out why someone would have gingerbread as their gift to the world. That is Harriet's gift; she gives gingerbread. She is proud of her gingerbread. The problem of the book is her figuring out whether it's a good thing, a bad thing, or a neutral thing.
TM: On the idea of home, Prague has been your home for quite some time now.
HO: Six years.
TM: Six years. Does that mean this is your first "Prague novel?"
HO: The last one came out while I lived here. It took a long time for Czechness to come out in my writing. I sometimes feel a bit impatient with that because it always takes ages for where I am to come up in my writing. It's a long process.
I don't think this book is all the way Czech. I think the all-the-way Czech book is a little way down the road. This was my first book where I was happy to hold hands with the Czechness.
TM: What does that mean for you?
HO: I tried to find a way to inhabit or give a nod to Czech writers but didn't want to create something that was not genuine. I have to go slowly with it.
TM: Was Druhástrana—a fictional country that only Czech citizens seem to believe in—always a part of your story from the beginning?
HO: The notion of the country was part of the fun of writing it. Living here, it does seem plausible that there would be a country tucked away in the vicinity of here that only the Czechs know about. The Hungarians as well, but they deny it. That country was always there.
TM: And Gretel?
HO: It is like I was saying about Harriet trying to figure out what her gingerbread is worth. There has to be some sort of market for it. Unfortunately for Harriet, she spends a lot of time weighing Gretel's opinion against everyone else's and which to trust and which to value. Gretel had to be in the book. There had to be a lover of gingerbread.
TM: In addition to the mysterious country and Gretel, I felt this book indirectly played with time. It's a very modern book, but the gingerbread made me feel like I was in a different era.
HO: I think just the presence of gingerbread in the story is what does that. I feel like I am about to start sounding like a documentary filmmaker, but gingerbread has been with us for a very long time. Every time you eat a piece of gingerbread, it is like you're tapping into a part of this ancient baking tradition.
TM: Earlier, you mentioned this book being a problem book. What is an example of a problem book as it relates to Gingerbread?
HO: There is a book by Barbara Comyns called The Skin Chairs and that is a problem book as well. Nothing really happens except this girl sees these books covered with human skins. Nothing really happens except this girl realizes one day she is going to die and just be skin. That's what I mean when I call something a problem book. Nothing happens, but everything happens.
As I was writing Gingerbread, I realized it was going to be about Harriet wanting to figure out what she wants for her gingerbread and I understood it was going to be a problem book.
TM: This book is very hard to succinctly describe. Is that how you would describe it then?
HO: I was trying to explain it to a friend then started trailing off and said it was more about how it's told than the story itself. I think the pitch I am going with for now is that it is a very long bedtime story.
TM: I think that idea of how the story is told rather than the story is the one thing I would come to expect from you as a writer.
HO: That is entirely the point of being a writer. We are all just trying to say what it means to be alive right now. The only invigorating thing is the difference between each writer's method. I could read anything, like Harriet reads the Farmer's Almanac. It just depends on how you're telling it to me.
TM: Do you read publications like the Farmer's Almanac while writing?
HO: Yes. Tone is just so lovely. There is something that lives on for so long. I was reading Mrs. Beeton's Book of Household Management, which is just what to do as a housekeeper. Her voice still comes across the pages after all these years. I felt strengthened by that.
TM: Where do you take your writing moving forward?
HO: The next book is going to be a train book. I think about the project and I think who I want to inhabit the space and drive the story.

Congress just got their stay at home order: Leadership in both the House and Senate say members will stay at home until at least May 4. But with a nation in crisis and money from the first three coronavirus relief packages being spent quickly, there's likely more work to be done.
Democratic congressman Josh Gottheimer is part of a bipartisan group of lawmakers asking House leadership to consider moving all legislative business — voting, floor debates and committee activity — remote.
Gottheimer says members could conduct debates through video or phone conferences. Voting could either be done similarly, or members could have voting machines installed in their homes or district offices. He says this all could be set up in a matter of a few days.
But House leadership, his own party, says not so fast. Speaker Nancy Pelosi said remote voting is "way down the road" and told members of the media last week, "We aren't there yet." Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has also been reluctant to support any rules changes. Congressman Jim McGovern, the Democratic chairman of the House Rules Committee, said in his 21-page report the "decision should be a multi-committee effort with substantial study and development."
Translation: It could take years. And in the past, it has. Rules changes after 9/11 weren't made until nearly four years later. No changes were immediately made during the 1918 Spanish flu.
Sarah Binder, a political science professor at George Washington University, says it would take detailed discussions and some serious politicking.
For now, the majority of members are hoping to pass legislation by unanimous consent, meaning everyone agrees to support the bill without recording a vote. But as we saw just a few weeks ago when congressman Thomas Massie of Kentucky tried to derail a stimulus bill, it only takes one member to force everyone to return to Washington to vote. That's exactly what Gottheimer is trying to prevent down the line.

Qian Zhao-Hong (b: 1947) is a masterful martial artist and teacher in Shanghai, China. He began learning martial arts when he was eight years old and has continued on that path every since, learning from many great martial artists, including Lu Songgao. Master "Q" was a famous fighter, winning many times against skilled martial artists. His nickname was "Chainsaw" because he mowed so many opponents down.
As he grew older he more readily appreciated the importance of softness in martial arts practice, and the true and most important values of health and emptiness.
Bob Lau sent the following email to his students in the spring of 2008:
Dear Friends,
My Portland student, Mark has asked me to share why I am so excited to teach the material at my upcoming workshops. It comes from my recent trip to see my teacher Qian Zhao-Hong. In late February, I got news that Master Qian was going to teach a 6 day intensive in Malmo, Sweden from April 5 through the 10th. I was very excited to go and see him again. Long story short, I made an impulsive decision to go. Prior to going to see Master Qian, I thought that I had really made some progress on being relaxed and being more healthy. However, since living in Bellingham, I started becoming very sensitive to the cold and I did not like walking. Anyway, on the first day of the intensive, Master Qian showed me where I was holding my tension in my body and how easy it was to let go and let the body do its own work, without me trying to interfere. The big thing with Master Qian is being natural and anywhere you are holding tension is unnatural. He taught us how to exercise very actively, aerobically, with the heart pumping, but by his methods we were never out of breath. I also came to understand how to engage my core muscles better. This by the way resulted in an improved stability and relaxed body.
Master Qian says that Xin Yi is really a very high level form of Qi-gong. It may look like martial arts, but underneath it you are connecting your main meridians the "du mai" and the "ren mai." The former goes up the back and the latter goes down the front. During the exercises you connect these meridians — it happens naturally. Also the exercises does something that most Western exercises miss out on, namely, the Xin Yi exercises give your internal organs a massage. So you are circulating your Qi, oxygenating your blood and massaging your organs. The training days went from 9:30 to 5 PM, with lunch from 12 to 2. Instead of feeling tired at the end of the day, we all felt invigorated.
By the middle of the camp, I was walking back and forth from the School, where the classes were held, to my Hostel. This was a 40 minute walk each way. I was enjoying it and the cold did not bother me at all. Remember this is Sweden, so it was cold outside. I really feel much more healthy — than I have in years. So I decided upon my return to try to emulate for everyone, the training I went through in Sweden: Qi Gong, exercises, and an overall good feeling in the body.
I intend to have the sessions follow the following format: Sun M, work on Qi Gong for energy, then learning the XinYi movements slowly and deliberately to have an active but yet relaxed body, engage the core muscles, to massage the internal organs, and to get an intimate feel of one's proper upright posture.
Sun afternoon, after establishing a foundation, we will work on increasing the number of repetitions of the movements and their speed without sacrificing relaxation and precision. Also we will work on stepping /walking exercises to establish agility and coordination. I will also introduce a couple of two person drills. We will finish off with Qi Gong.
I am really excited about this type of training as I think it will benefit us quicker.
An email from Bob Lau after a retreat with Master Qian:
Hi Everyone,
While I can still remember them, here are some of master Qian´s thoughts. First "master" to Qian's understanding merely means teacher in English. So he says master. Anyway, first he thinks that a majority of what is practiced as martial arts fails to convey the health aspects of true martial arts. Although some arts are excellent at fighting and hurting people, the practitioners of those arts will live very short lives because they are not nurturing and cultivating their health and improving their bodies. This is mainly due to the reason they do not understand yin-yang in their martial arts or movements.
Another important comment he made was that the first reason to practice martial arts is to cultivate the mind: If the mind is calm, then the body will be upright and healthy. If the mind is calm and the body healthy, then you will be happy. If you have food to eat, work, friends, family and a place to live then you are doing great. No need for anything else, as in a bigger house, ipods (he actually did not mention ipods), making tons of money, etc.
So the first thing he does when looking at other martial arts is to see if it is grounded in the principles of yin-yang, nurturing the health of the body, and promoting peace of mind. Then he looks at the teacher to see if the teacher is manifesting these concepts in his-her body: Posture is upright, but not with the chest stuck out; and back straight, hips relaxed, standing naturally, moving naturally without any stiffness.
So the hardest thing we have found is how to be relaxed but not limp, natural, and use energy for movement instead of muscle power. He really showed us on our own bodies how if we understood natural alignment and being relaxed, our energy will come up and we will be very stable and can easily handle martial skills without even thinking. His basic method was to come over to us and push us over using just his pinky or have another student use their pinky. The he would adjust our posture, point out places where we are stiff and then he would pound on the body, and we would just stand there in our posture without falling over or losing our balance. Very cool.
Qian Shifu said that many people understand this stuff in their minds but not their bodies.
Also, just to share a little bit, in the morning we would spend at 20 minutes walking dragon hangs it arms, and it was very meditative. I found myself very focused and calm. By the second week, I was able to maintain a focused mind and concentrate only the training and not have other thoughts enter my head. Very cool!
Bob Lau,
April 2009

Controlling heat to avoid hazardous reactions
Hydrofluosilicic acid is used in water fluoridation, ceramic production, electroplating, bottle sterilizing, brewing and many other applications. This colorless, fuming liquid presents a host of challenges in storage:
- It decomposes in heat, giving off toxic fluoride compounds, which may react violently with alkaline materials.
- Hydrofluosilicic acid is corrosive to most metals – and it attacks glass and stoneware.
- Like lye and sodium hypo, hydrofluosilicic acid has a tendency to find leak paths.
- The chemical is incompatible with strong alkalis and strong concentrated acids. It reacts with oxidizing agents, combustible solids and organic peroxides.
- Its reaction with metals produces flammable hydrogen gas.
A complete system equipped with specialized features can reduce the risks associated with this toxic chemical.
The Poly Processing Hydrofluosilicic Acid System
Hydrofluosilicic acid is an extremely dangerous chemical. Human contact with it can result in severe injury or fatality. But when the chemical is controlled in a stable environment, risk can be dramatically reduced.
XLPE tanks are ideal in this situation. The thermosetting of XLPE's polymer chains acts as a netting to prevent permeation, leakage or seepage.
With its full drain design, a built-in IMFO® flange can help eliminate any buildup of sediment, lessening the potential for lead and arsenic deposits over time. The IMFO® system's design also keeps the tank intact, which is important for chemicals that try to find leak paths. If an IMFO® isn't an option, wetted fittings should be kept to an absolute minimum to avoid failure.
If secondary containment is not available, a SAFE-Tank® is recommended instead of an IMFO® tank. This tank within a tank greatly reduces the chance for leaks.

The post- graduate internship is a vocational training of a postgraduate nature; it is an additional requirement that applies after graduation, if a graduate wants to practice in Poland. It is not part of the medical or dental studies and it is not under the supervision of the Medical University.
To commence the internship in Poland a graduate should apply to the Regional Chamber of Physicians and Dentists for a "Right to practice the profession awarded in order to complete the internship". This authorization to practice as an intern is granted for a period of maximum 5 years – during this period the internship should be commenced and duly completed.
To commence the internship in Poland a graduate has to speak Polish. Under the Polish Act on the profession of doctor and dentist (Dz.U.2017.125 -j.t.) and the Regulation of the Minister of Health from September 26, 2012 on the postgraduate internship of a doctor and dentist in force starting from January 1st, 2017:
Alternatively, it is possible to undertake an equivalent internship abroad.
To commence the internship abroad no specific consent from the Polish competent authorities is required and the Polish right to practice the profession is not needed.
Any arrangements regarding finding a place to take up this equivalent internship abroad as well as obtaining the required authorization (e.g. registration with an authority that supervises exercise of medical profession) to commence such an internship abroad are to be taken care of by the graduate. Neither the Medical University nor the Polish Chamber of Physicians or Dentists provide assistance in this respect.
Afterwards one should apply to the Minister of Health for recognition of the internship completed abroad as equivalent to the internship in Poland.

I was a TA for Hyman Minsky at Wash U, which motivated me to be a macroeconomist and got me interested in risk. I'm a '94 econ PhD from Northwestern, and wrote a dissertation on the low return to high volatility equities, which I also showed were inordinately preferred by mutual funds. Part of that became a Journal of Finance publication, but the low vol slant didn't make it--this was before ad hoc anomalies could be published w/ mere reference to behavioral anomalies.
After grad school I worked at KeyCorp bank in Cleveland, first as an economist, then set up their value-at-risk system for their trading desk. After that, I led the development of their economic risk capital allocation across 5 major business lines, 23 secondary business lines, and 138 tertiary business lines. I really wanted to be a fund manager, so I set up a C-corp going long low volatility companies to demonstrate my alpha, doing this on the side. I developed Moody's RiskCalcTM for private companies, the world's leading private firm default model. I worked at the hedge fund Deephaven for a couple years, doing various things in pairs, convertible bonds, and long-short equity investing. I was a portfolio manager at Telluride Asset Management, developed high-frequency trading tactics for Walleye Trading (an options market maker), and was most recently a portfolio manager at Pine River Capital Management. Currently I am working on an Ethereum contract that I hope to release shortly.
I've written for several academic journals, including the Journal of Finance, and published two books--Finding Alpha and The Missing Risk Premium. See my home website for published papers.
I have been a libertarian for a long time, but recently became a Christian, which I think is more profound than libertarianism because the Christian virtues of faith, hope and love are more foundational. I have a wife, three kids, and a dog. I like rational expectations and derivatives pricing theory, but hate the CAPM and its derivatives. My Big Idea (one that is new, true and important) is that risk is generally not related to expected return because people are more envious than greedy, so there's no risk premium that comes out of the convexity of a utility function.
I recently published an Ethereum derivatives contract suite I have been working on for some time. Due to US regulations, I can't administer or support it in size, but a working version denominated in szabo is on the main Ethereum network at oracleswap.co.

In a society where good taste, protocol and etiquette have been tossed out the window. I wonder whether if the break down of the family has lead to the lack of teaching of good taste and graces. Are families too busy to teach the importance of how to behave and treat others.
Or is social media the cause of the break down? What ever your take on the subject, social media communities are still groups of people and good manner and etiquette is never out of style.
