Many people avoid investing in ESG or SRI investments because there is a widely held view that they are likely to underperform. This myth is slowly being overturned as we are seeing such investments produce desired returns with the added bonus of reduced levels of volatility.
What everyone understands ESG to be
It is no surprise that sectors like mining, oil, gas and weapons have seen increasing levels of volatility as political and market uncertainty shines a light on companies refusing to change or not changing quickly enough. Climate change is becoming a growing concern and Greta Thunberg has become a household name in Europe. Transparency around gender pay gaps and diversity within companies is increasingly demanded and we are seeing more fund managers place pressure on companies in the form of being an "activist" shareholder or investor. ESG investments are seeing record inflows of money being poured into them so as to reduce their exposure to volatility as companies who refuse to adapt are left behind by forward progressive companies who see the long term benefits.
Not all investors feel the moral responsibility when investing in companies that have high ESG scores, nevertheless, it does not stop them from investing in these companies, as they can see the benefits of investing in companies where long term sustainability has a positive impact on returns.
Play right, perform well?
Research firm Morningstar produced a study on their 56 ESG indexes which showed that although limiting investor choice could have negative consequences, when it came to sustainable investments, including ESG, restricted portfolios performed well. This is predominantly because having a healthy balance sheet, strong governance and being socially responsible can help mitigate risks and thus reduce the likelylihood of unexpected costs, such as fines, law suits or higher costs of debt.
One of the statistics they reported was that 41 out of 56 (73%) Morningstar ESG indexes have outperformed their non-ESG equivalents since inception and 48 out of the 56 (86%) exhibited superior scores on financial health meaning they are less likely to experience serious financial distress.
How returns can be achieved
A recently matured structured product, the SG Lux Finvex Booster Note, is a shining example of how returns do not need to be sacrificed in order to make a sustainable investment. This 5 year note was linked to the Finvex Sustainable & Efficient Europe 30. The index started in July 2011 and contains 30 equally weighted equities which are listed on a variety of European exchanges.
Investors saw a return of 86% in addition to capital. Although the product had no barrier or capital protection, the high uncapped participation rate of 325% promised strong return prospects. Where this product becomes interesting is that the underlying index significantly outperfomed the Euro Stoxx 50.
If an investor had chosen to track the Euro Stoxx 50 with an ETF, over the same period, then they would have made a return of just 1.34%. If the investor had gone into an ETF tracking the Finvex Sustainable & Efficient Europe 30 index they would have seen returns of 26.52%, the participation of 325% is what really boosted the structured product return.
Stop thinking its mutually exclusive
Whether people are investing in ESG for the principles or for returns and stability, one thing is clear, money is flowing into funds that target high ESG scores as investors seek a longer term position for their portfolios. The Actiam Sustainable Euro Fixed Income Fund grew to £2.5 bn in less than one month after coming to the market in May 2019. The fund has an active ESG policy with engagement and exclusions based on Actiam's Fundamental Investment Principles: human rights, fundamental labour rights, anti-corruption, the environment, weapons, client and product integrity and animal welfare.
For some investors though, outperformance is not the only consideration. Some are more than willing to invest in ESG for wanting to support companies that are good corporate citizens.

Another life wasted in the pursuit of glory and gold.
Hello. Let me start by saying I both love and hate this game. The RNGesus is the strongest I've ever seen. Sometimes it's amazing, like when you land that final crit that saves the expedition. But also so bad...
So in this topic let us discuss the worse experience we had in this domain of darkness and madness.
I'm first!
It was a cold night of february , about a week ago. This little crusader stood up an entire night grinding up a team to face the Flesh (lvl 5). All was great, 'till I ventured into the dungeon. A Hellion, proud and destructive, a Hound Master, ready to unleash his hound on any atrocity that dared stood in his way, a Vestal, a saint among men, and an Arbalest, steady on his mark. We pushed forward to the beasts lair, crushing everything in our path. We decided to make camp in the room next to the monster and prepare ourselves. We were determined, we go and kill the beast, or die trying. How foolish of us. On our path we had to face one more group of enemies to reach the Flesh. Confidence surging, we pushed forward. Surprise, surprise...a Shambler. The beast put up a fight, but with one last effort, we took it down. Victory was close, or so we thought. The Shambler left us bleeding, but we could make it, that if RNGesus was on our side...but he wasn't. As the last minion was sitting at the blink of extinction, things went wrong. All the brave heroes started missing every hit, and with every hit the minion threw at us, he grew stronger, we grew desperate. The first to slip into insanity was our Vestal, becoming fearful, followed by the Hellion, Arbalest and Hound Master. The Vestal was also the one to die first, making a wrong move and passing her turn, leaving everyone hopeless and wounded. One by one they fell. The Hellion was last, and with it's last breath, landed a crit. My heart grew, hoping that after I could retreat to my hamlet with my precious trinkets. Foolish hope, as the crit did not do enough damage to kill that little thing. At last my precious Junia's Head was gone, along with Disma's.
You will endure this loss, and learn from it.
Oh but I did not learned.
Days later I find myself back in the possession of my precious heads, along with a nice collection of the Mad Man's music boxes (Aria, Crescendo and Overture), along with a large array of ancestral and very rare trinkets. I'm a loot wh*re, so imagine my happiness that I got my hands on such rare beauties.
But as I said. I did not learn.
So tonight I planed a long campaign into the Weald (lvl5), hunting for an Ancestor's Portrait. Another proud Vestal at my side, a Grave Robber ready to practice it's trowing right into the hearts of our enemies, a Bounty Hunter slicing and hooking trough endless waves of monsters, and a Leper standing tall, chopping the opposition. We make our way to the first room , but not three steps away of our safe zone and The Collector decides he wants our heads. We made short work of him and his ghostly corpses. Glorious, we keep marching, pushing forward to the next room. Nothing of interest there, so we make a right, but RNGesus strikes again. A Shambler. REVENGE ! ...or so I hoped... The thing was most vicious this time, landing crit after crit after crit . Spraying blight and biting deep into our small party, leaving us bleeding and driving us closer to insanity. And if it did not succeeded , it's minions took care of the job. This time the Bounty Hunter slipped into madness first, followed by everybody. Blooded and beaten, left with no bandage and no antivenom, with 4 mad men draining their life for my stupid quest, I decided to run. But RNGesus had other plans for me. Four retreats, four fails ...for more moves wasted, too much damage taken. A flame burnt in my heart, and I decided to fight, for this time one will be victorious. And I was...for a while. The Shambler laid dead, but it's minions, those are the true monsters. One by one my dear heroes had heart attacks ...and I could not do anything to save them. Along their expensive equipment, Junia's Head was long again, alongside the Crescendo and Overture boxes. Lost my entire reserve of Moon Rings as well, and a Sacred Scroll. I ...I....want to die...
So , these are two of my worse encounters with RNGesus 'till now. Sorry it was so long. Be glad to hear some of your stories, that if anybody is interested. And remember ...
Death cannot be escaped! But it can be postponed.

When thinking of legendary American muscle cars, the Chevy Camaro sits atop the list. Year after year, however, this classic car stays ahead of the curve with high-tech and stylish updates that help to continue the Camaro's class-leading legacy. The recently revealed 2020 Chevrolet Camaro updates raise that bar even further.
The 2020 Camaro SS features a suave new front-end appearance, featuring a repositioned Chevy bowtie emblem in the upper grille and a body-color bar stylishly separating the upper and lower grilles. Steve Majoros, director of Chevrolet car and crossover marketing, said that the "overwhelmingly positive" reaction to the Camaro Shock show car that debuted at the 2018 SEMA Show "helped prompt its transition from concept to production."
Twenty-inch forged-aluminum wheels are available on the SS, LT, and LT1 models, continuing to enhance the new Camaro's bold looks.
At the same time, the 2020 Camaro provides new possibilities for power. The new LT1 trim incorporates the style of the SS with the power of V8 performance, boasting a 455-horsepower engine. What's more, it will provide a whole lot of bang for not a lot of bucks.
"The new Camaro LT1 is a great choice for those seeking a pure V-8 performance experience," said Majoros. "And at less than $35,000, it will be one of the most affordable V-8 performers on the market."
The 2020 Chevrolet Camaro will be available at Don Larson GM later this year. Call or email your enquiries to make sure that you're one of the first up to take this beast for a ride.

150 million years ago, Eldrad was a brilliant scientist who created a barrier to protect Kastria from the solar winds and new silicon-based bodies to deal with the environment. He then planned to make his people, the Kastrians, into aggressors, which caused a revolt. These Kastrians, led by King Rokon captured him and placed him in an obliteration module detonated by remote control. Though he was almost entirely destroyed, most of one of his hands and his ring survived and somehow made it to primordial Earth.
Eldrad's damaged and petrified hand was found in an English quarry just before it was blown up. Having just arrived on Earth in the TARDIS with the Doctor, Sarah Jane Smith was caught in the blast and found the hand. Eldrad's ring then took control of her mind, forcing her to go to the nearby Nunton Experimental Complex, which had a nuclear reactor. Though the Doctor was able to save Sarah from Eldrad's powers, the ring was also able to influence Dr. Carter and Driscoll, who also tried to help Eldrad regenerate. Eldrad was able to make Driscoll take his hand into the core of the reactor. Eldrad employed the reactor's radiation to completely regenerate into a form modeled off of Sarah, since the ring had imprinted off her.
Eldrad claimed she had been overthrown after a war between his people and another and asked to be brought back to his homeworld. The Doctor agreed to take Eldrad to Kastria, but refused to go back to the past. Eldrad agreed and led the TARDIS to Kastria. In the Kastrian base, Eldrad was poisoned by an acid harpoon, which started to break down her system, though she reached a regeneration chamber before her structure broke down.
Restored to his true Kastrian form, Eldrad planned to take back Kastria and then the universe until he learnt of the eventual fate of the Kastrians, who, led by Rokon, had chosen suicide rather than face the small chance of Eldrad returning to lead them. Eldrad decided to return to Earth in the TARDIS and enslave it.
The Doctor stole Eldrad's ring and tried to escape with it. Chasing the Doctor, he tripped over his scarf and into a deep chasm. Though Eldrad now seemed to have died, the Doctor expressed doubt about Eldrad's demise.
Powers and AbilitiesEdit
Apart from the abilities as regeneration and metamorphosis granted him by his silicon-based form, Eldrad could use telepathy and attempted to hypnotize the Doctor. When he did so, his eyes glowed bright blue.

GobbleGum Talk
TheDunbarian replied to 83457's topic in Shadows of EvilSince you asked for information about Pop Shocks, I'd recommend lowering it from ** to *. It's really not great. It can chain and kill a few zombies even in high rounds, sure, but it kills them pretty slowly. It's not gonna get you unstuck if you're cornered. It's one of my least favorite GGs, and of course it seems to be the one Monty gives me the most...
Zombies Table-top Board Game?!
TheDunbarian replied to yourmapper's topic in General Zombies DiscussionIf it did exist, it would probably be expensive. The only reason I can't say for sure that I'd buy it is because I'm not sure if anyone I know would ever play it with me... Unless of course it came with a way to play in solo mode :lol:
Highest Round on Buried!
TheDunbarian replied to way2g00d's topic in BuriedGot to 47 easily yesterday. Sure, its slow, but I like how its something different from the eternal circle being run for hours on end
Highest Round on Alcatraz Island?
TheDunbarian replied to Tac's topic in Mob of the DeadGot to round 69 solo. And yes, I purposely suicided on that specific round. Thank you, good night.
Kino 2025 for Black Ops II
TheDunbarian replied to SoM_Pr0digY's topic in General Zombies DiscussionIf they do ending releasing a remake of a classic map, it'll probably be Der Reise. Odds are that it was the target of one of those Moon rockets, so it would take on a new look and new areas would be revealed. Plus, Samantha may take the group there because she may know things about it that no one knew before, having lived there. Storywise it makes the most sense.
Your Favourite Gun
TheDunbarian replied to Chinny's topic in MultiplayerI'm with Electric, the Vector is a beautiful weapon and honestly my favorite I've tried so far. However, it does all depend on your play style. If you're an assault rifle guy, the MTAR is a great choice. If you like shotguns, the Remington 870 is the only way to go. If you're a sniper, I recommend the Ballista. And remember, I haven't tried every gun in the game, so do some experimenting yourself.
Kino 2025 for Black Ops II
TheDunbarian replied to SoM_Pr0digY's topic in General Zombies DiscussionMy favorite will always be Shangri-La. When they bring that back, they have my money.
Post your Black Ops 2 Emblems here!
TheDunbarian replied to Undead's topic in MultiplayerI've had too much fun with this editor. So far I've made Quick Revive, Juggernog, Blue, Red (these last two are from a web series called Dick Figures) and, of course, the TARDIS. I might upload some this weekend. They're not the best, but I made them all (excluding the perks) without using tutorials, so I'm pretty proud of how they came out.
I haven't experimented much with the ballistic knife in this game yet, but if it's anything like it was in Black Ops 1, then they're roughly the same speed. Combat knife is very quick, and you'd actually be at an advantage over the ballistic knife for melee attacks because of the improved hit detection that comes from pulling the right trigger. Essentially: both knives have same melee and running speeds. Pros for ballistic knife: ability to shoot retrievable knives. Pros for combat knife: better melee hit detection AND doesn't take up a slot in your class. Combat knife wins!
Executioner dual wield. Sweet Electric Jesus, why did I never think of this??? I used to wreck house in Black Ops with my Python dual wield, so I really need to give this a shot.
How Marlton got into Tranzit?!
TheDunbarian replied to SirPlasticDucky's topic in TranZitThe characters all seemed to have known each other prior to Green Run, but they don't really seem like a group of friends. More like a group of fellow survivors that has set aside their differences to survive as a team, much like our original crew. Yet they have developed opinions about each other: Misty and Stuhlinger dislike each other, Marlton and Russman dislike each other, and Marlton seems to have feelings for Misty, who kind of likes him but from the looks of it she's got him friendzoned... They defintely knew each other before we meet them. Something happened between Nuketown and Green Run where they all met each other. What that is? We'll leave that to our dedicated theorists ;)
Dont Play on Custom Match
TheDunbarian replied to 7CODsoft7's topic in General Zombies DiscussionI will continue to play on Custom Match until they add a private match option - something they desperately need. Next title update best see that option added. You listening, Treyarch? People are annoyed with your leaderboards...
TranZit Needs a Graveyard!!!
TheDunbarian replied to ZombicidalManiac's topic in TranZitI have always wondered why as far as zombies has gone we've never seen a graveyard. I doubt they'll be adding on to Green Run with the DLCs - it would make an (almost) annoyingly large map even bigger, it would seem lazy in the creativity field, and it would just be a downright coding nightmare. Plus, it would make Green Run incompatible between users who have the DLC and users who don't. My theory is that they're making new TranZit maps for the DLCs. They've got an entire world map to fill up, they're not gonna waste their time adding on to one spot.
Probation -_-
TheDunbarian replied to perfectlemonade's topic in MultiplayerMy friends and I discovered the new "probation" feature last night. They were quite frustrated by it because they tend to ragequit a lot. I, however, could definitely see the reasoning behind implementing such a feature. But you're right, leaving a lobby between games shouldn't count, nor should getting lagged out. I hope Treyarch sorts this out.
Ah yes, I did forget to mention that you shouldn't try this if you truly care about your K/D. It's just for fun, really. But it does give you a nice feeling of badassery when you have a good game with it.

Charles Phan prefers tender baby bok choy but if you can only find mature heads, separate the leaves from the stems, cut the stems into 1 1/2-inch pieces and stir-fry them separately so the leaves don't overcook. Plus: More Vegetable Recipes and Tips
How to Make It
In a large skillet or a wok, heat the oil until small puffs of smoke begin to appear. Add the garlic and stir-fry over high heat for 10 seconds. Add the shiitake and stir-fry for 1 minute. Add the bok choy and stir-fry until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Add the wine and cook until slightly reduced, about 1 minute. Add the Vietnamese Stir-fry Sauce and cook until the bok choy is tender but still bright green and the sauce is slightly reduced, about 4 minutes longer. Serve hot.
Serve With
Steamed jasmine rice.

The media has created another storyline – now it's Barack vs. Bill, the racial grudge match of the 21st century!
I was wondering when Hillary's husband would enter the arena and play bad cop. So far, rhetorically speaking, I'm not sure it's a great strategy for Obama to respond personally. Michelle Obama would be the ideal person to handle the attacks from Bill, to keep his sniping in the proper context – but I haven't seen much coverage of her, or such a strategy emerging from the Obama campaign.

Wonderful Magpie Rick!
"Colorful dying" and "art beneath my feet" are great expressions. As you know in my part of the world we can only imagine these things and take the word of others. Here it is the clear sky, crisp mornings, clear rivers flowing to the Gulf that make me know autumn has arrived. This morning is a prime example.ReplyDelete

Thou Shalt Not Be a Bystander
By: Joe Stowell, Strength For The Journey
"He upholds the cause of the oppressed." Psalm 146:7
In 1955, an African-American Christian woman in her 40s refused to surrender her seat to a white man on a bus in Montgomery, Alabama. As a result, many now view Rosa Parks as the mother of the civil rights movement and consider her act one of courage. But Rosa called her decision an act of faith. She said, "I felt the Lord would give me strength to endure whatever I had to face. It was time for someone to stand up—or in my case, to sit down. I refused to move."
As followers of Jesus, we must be willing to stand, or sit, for what is right and just. Sadly, when life is good inside the "believer's bubble," very few voices cry out in protest against injustice.
Take a glance back through history with me for just a moment. Remember the Christians who lived in ancient Rome? They were tortured and killed for entertainment in the coliseums of Rome. Centuries later, generations of Africans were forced into slavery in America and kept in bondage until they were legally set free in 1865. But it didn't end there. Sadly, our world has witnessed countless other atrocities, resulting in the tragic loss of hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians.
Something should go "tilt" deep down inside us when we think about these detestable actions against the dignity of fellow humans. And if it doesn't, we need to check our spiritual pulse! God hates injustice and has a special place in His heart for the oppressed. In Psalm 146:7, the text tells us, "He upholds the cause of the oppressed." It moves me to think about how His heart must break when He sees people who are precious to Him victimized by corrupt thinking and twisted morality.
God hates injustice so much that He gave us a living model for raising the standard of justice against oppression. That model is Jesus Christ!
Take, for instance, the time when He "cleaned house" in the temple where the merchants and moneychangers were in cahoots. They were requiring poor pilgrims who had come to worship to change their money for temple currency at exorbitantly unjust rates and, on top of that, they were forced to pay several times the market value for the cow, lamb, or dove that was to be used as an atonement for their sin!
Obviously, Jesus despised this unjust practice so much that He used a whip to drive the money changers from the temple, overthrowing their money tables and calling them thieves! He reacted so strongly because the merchants were taking advantage of people's desire to serve and obey God. Injustice in the name of a just God is a serious offense to our God, who is perfectly just. In fact, throughout the Gospels Jesus took it upon Himself, at great risk, to be an advocate for the maligned and the oppressed.
One of history's most tragic offenses to justice was the Holocaust. In Washington D.C., at the Holocaust Museum, there is a plaque with these words, "Thou shalt not be a victim. Thou shalt not be a perpetrator. Above all, thou shalt not be a bystander."
Although the silence from the Christian community is often deafening when it comes to helping the oppressed, it is never too late to start. You and I need to link arms with the people who are taking justice to our unjust world by rescuing those who are victims of injustice.
The Old Testament prophet Micah said that when it comes to pleasing God, we must "act justly and love mercy" (Micah 6:8). Maybe, that's why I would like to see the eleventh commandment be: "Thou shalt not be a bystander."
Consider what I say, for the Lord will give you understanding in everything. 2 Timothy 2:7 NASB
Paul told Timothy that if he wanted "understanding in everything," he needed to do something. It wasn't enough just to read Paul's letters or listen to the Law and Prophets. Timothy needed to go a step further and "consider" these words.
Paul used a word that means exercising the mind. In other words, he wanted Timothy to think. To seek. To dig deeper.
Paul was giving Timothy a challenge: If he wanted to receive understanding, he had to put in extra effort. This involved absorbing the words he had heard and read, mulling them over, praying and seeking God, and being sensitive to the leading of the Spirit.
If he did those things, Paul promised that Timothy would gain "understanding." The Greek words here indicate that Timothy might have grasped bits and pieces of information, but this did not mean that he had understanding. God wanted to help him put the pieces together, so he would have true understanding "in everything."
This same challenge applies to you. Remember the power and importance of reading God's Word and hearing anointed messages. But if you want a deeper understanding, you need to dig deeper. If you want all the pieces to fit together, you need to exercise your mind, study, probe, and pray.
God is ready to reward your faithfulness and your desire to learn and grow. He is ready to put more of the pieces together for you.
Streams in the Desert – June 15
By: L.B. Cowman
Times have changed, but life's hard times haven't
He named the second child Ephraim, saying, "Certainly God has made me fruitful in the land of my suffering. (Gen 41:52)
The summer showers are falling. The poet stands by the window watching them. They are beating and buffeting the earth with their fierce downpour. But the poet sees in his imaginings more than the showers which are falling before his eyes. He sees myriads of lovely flowers which shall be soon breaking forth from the watered earth, filling it with matchless beauty and fragrance. And so he sings:
"It isn't raining rain for me, it's raining daffodils;
In every dimpling drop I see wild flowers upon the hills.
A cloud of gray engulfs the day, and overwhelms the town;
It isn't raining rain for me: it's raining roses down."
Perchance some one of God's chastened children is even now saying, "O God, it is raining hard for me tonight.
"Testings are raining upon me which seem beyond my power to endure. Disappointments are raining fast, to the utter defeat of all my chosen plans. Bereavements are raining into my life which are making my shrinking heart quiver in its intensity of suffering. The rain of affliction is surely beating down upon my soul these days."
Withal, friend, you are mistaken. It isn't raining rain for you. It's raining blessing. For, if you will but believe your Father's Word, under that beating rain are springing up spiritual flowers of such fragrance and beauty as never before grew in that stormless, unchastened life of yours.
You indeed see the rain. But do you see also the flowers? You are pained by the testings. But God sees the sweet flower of faith which is upspringing in your life under those very trials.
You shrink from the suffering. But God sees the tender compassion for other sufferers which is finding birth in your soul.
Your heart winces under the sore bereavement. But God sees the deepening and enriching which that sorrow has brought to you.
It isn't raining afflictions for you. It is raining tenderness, love, compassion, patience, and a thousand other flowers and fruits of the blessed Spirit, which are bringing into your life such a spiritual enrichment as all the fullness of worldly prosperity and ease was never able to beget in your innermost soul.
—J. M. McC.
"A harp stood in the moveless air,
Where showers of sunshine washed a thousand fragrant blooms;
A traveler bowed with loads of care
Essayed from morning till the dusk of evening glooms
To thrum sweet sounds from the songless strings;
The pilgrim strives in vain with each unanswering chord,
Until the tempest's thunder sings,
And, moving on the storm, the fingers of the Lord
A wondrous melody awakes;
And though the battling winds their soldier deeds perform,
Their trumpet-sound brave music makes
While God's assuring voice sings love across the storm"

These photographs show Topekan Charles (Chick) Gordon in three different basketball poses. Gordon was a standout athlete at Topeka High and Washburn University, excelling at both basketball and baseball. He lettered in basketball two years in high school (1945-46 and 1946-47) and was on Washburn's varsity basketball team all four of his college years. At both schools, Gordon was captain of the basketball team his senior year. In his final season at Washburn (1950-51), he led the team in scoring with 319 points and played a key role in helping the Ichabods secure the Central Intercollegiate Conference league championship. The photograph in which Gordon wears number 21 was taken while he was a member of the Topeka High Trojans varsity squad; this photo was published on page 66 of the 1947 Sunflower, the Topeka High yearbook. The other two photos were taken while Gordon was on the Washburn Ichabods team. Of those, the shooting pose appears on page 108 of the 1948 Washburn yearbook.

On our upcoming episode of the Everyday Drinkers podcast we're going to cover different liqueurs from herbal liquor to cream, berry, coffee and other crazy flavors. Schnapps has fallen into my scope of "liqueurs" to cover for the next podcast. This includes peach flavors and other crazy sweet substances to give you a buzz… but they're not really a German Schnapps (as the name "schnapps" would suggest)–they're American.
Schnapps is a style of distilled beverage, ethanol if you will, many of which are high in alcohol content while others are more flavor than buzz. You have have heard them being called "spirits" or "distilled spirits" because they fall into the this realm of drink category, referring to low sugar distilled beverages usually 35% alcohol by volume or higher. A spirit may be tequila, vodka, grappa, gin, brandy, absinthe, whiskey and our topic of discussion…schnapps!
American schnapps is often very sweet and not as high in alcohol as a true German schnapps. If you're in the United States there is a pretty good chance you've tasted a cinnamon schnapps (I prefer Fire Water), Butterscotch, Peach, Watermelon and Peppermint schnapps. Rest assured you've tasted what is known as an American schnapps!
The German counter part (originally called schnaps) is an unsweetened distilled spirit often derived from fruits. The pulp of fruits make for a German schnapps and the flavors are that of the fruit itself, not from artificial flavors and excessive sugars.
I can't think of a German schnapps offhand because it's not what I've grown up drinking. When I hear the word schnapps I think ultra-sweet colorful drinks with excessive sugars and a sick belly if I drink too much. I'm not a fan of peppermint schnapps because it's just too ice cold for my throat, usually going with the Fire Water or other cinnamon flavored drink. Perhaps it is great marketing campaigns but when I think schnapps I'm envisioning the De Kuyper label.
Pucker, HotDamn, Tropical Pineapple (which I believe I have for the podcast) and other bright bottles. Think Jolly Rancher of alcohol and you're onto an American Schnapps.
I think it's time to expand my horizon and find a good German schnapps. What do you like?

IB Women's Club Fall Bazaar had a Great Turnout last Saturday at the Boys and Girls Club in Imperial Beach.
Nov 19, 2015 12:41PM
By Paul Spear
The Imperial Beach Women's Club held their Annual Fall Bazaar and had a Great
Turnout last Saturday at the Boys and Girls Club in Imperial Beach.
This was one of the best turnout by vendors they had ever had as they actually had to turn vendors away because of the demand for people wanting to participate according to Donna Moore and others from the club.
The turnout seemed to be exceptional to as i spent a few hours their and it seemed to be busy the whole time.
The Imperial Beach Women's club is the oldest service club in Imperial Beach. It was founded in 1933.
The Imperial Beach Woman's Club helps lots of organizations in our community. Here is were just some of their help went toin the last couple of years: Imperial Beach Library - Donation, Mar Vista HS Band - Donation, Mar Vista Middle School Band - Donation, SBUSD So Bay Music Club - Donation, IB Jr. Lifeguards - Donation, Girl Scout Troop #5447 - Donation, Girl Scout Troop #5957 - Donation, Serving Seniors (St. Charles) - Donation, Balboa Park Committee of 100 - Donation, VIP Village - Donation, Art Kids of San Diego - Donation, Imperial Beach Senior Center - Donation, Pearl Kelly - Christmas Trees, Imperial Beach Chamber of Commerce (Santa comes to IB).

They have two groups. One meets the second Tuesday of the month at noon at the Boys and girls Club gym at 847 Encina Avenue, Imperial Beach, CA 91932. the other group is called the Night Owls.

Thank you for the article about the IBWC however I would like to point out that one lady "Donna Moore" is one of our most valuable members. She is our Fundraiser and has done an excellent job the last 3 years in helping get the funds necessary to keep the IBWC able to continue their work. She is the one person who comes up with the ideas and goes out to the businesses and asks for donations. Without Donna Moore the IBWC would not be as successful as it has been the last few years. She is our MVP. Marirose Fernandez

Tai chi Introductory ten week course & Practice Day
Learn five relaxing exercises and a section of the Yang short form. No experience of Tai Chi is necessary.
The course price includes a Practice Day on Sunday 6th December, 10.30am - 3pm.
Half term break 28th October.
Taijiquan is an 'Art', an ongoing process of refinement, that should never be thought of as mastered.
Our system offers an opportunity to explore the harmony within all movement, leading to deepened sensitivity, the development of internal energy and the ability to deal with external forces.
Whether being practised as a healthy exercise or in a self defence situation, relaxation is the fundamental basis.
Regardless of style, lineage or teacher, adhering to the 'Principles' as presented in the 'Classics' ensures that the Art will continue to remain true to the original and still evolve further.
Taiji is based upon relaxation of body and mind. The quiet and gentle nature of the exercise overcomes stress and its related illnesses. Other benefits include improved blood circulation, better posture and alignment, and a strengthened immune system. All contributing to greater quality of life and likely quantity.
The only requirements for Taiji are patience and perseverance, it is equally suitable for young and old, men and women.
Taiji can be continued as a life long practice.

Kyle Brodziak is one of few St. Louis Blues players who had an impressive offensive season in 2017-18. After scoring 10 goals and 33 points mostly on the team's fourth line, the 34-year-old Brodziak is now a man looking for a new contract. Will he find one in St. Louis?
Despite his strong season, Brodziak finds himself in a tough position. At the twilight of his career, he's ideally looking for a final contract to close out his time in the NHL. Meanwhile, the league is moving more and more towards younger and faster players. As an aging fourth-line veteran who skated on a team that missed the playoffs, the market for a player like Brodziak may not be very large despite his manageable hit against the salary cap.
Brodziak made $950,000 in 2017-18. He'd love a two-year deal worth a similar amount, but it doesn't sound like he'll be picky when it comes to a new contract.
Via STLToday:
"It would be nice to get a two-year, a little more security, but beggars can't be choosers."
In the case of the Blues, the team needs to decide how they can transform the team into one capable of not only making the playoffs, but challenging for the Stanley Cup. Bringing back older veterans isn't the usual strategy to accomplish that goal. The Blues may benefit in shaking things up.
Brodziak is a solid fourth-line talent. Should the Blues bring him back, they will hope to see more of what he provided in 2017-18 – at the right price. He appears to have more left in the tank, but the Blues need to find the right group of players who are capable of improving on a failed season.

if you offer this as a reason for why the F-18 or F-16 shouldn't be chosen, then that leaves your argument for MiG-35s with no legs..its also a reworking of a legacy airframe or as you call it "3 decades old" (which IMO is a ignorant statement, because the SH was a reworked airframe, that came into being in the 90s, and the F-16 Advanced Block 52, 60. et all have majorly re-worked airframes as well)
and at least the F-16 and F-18 are supported by other Air Forces, whereas with the MiG-35, its almost certain that we'll be the only customers in the world, since even the parent Air Force is not interested in a token purchase.
There is one distinct and important difference between the 35 reworking Vs the teen series. It seems both the teens sacrificed Airframe performance in various flight profiles. The MiG otoh, has done the opposite, improved all basic parameters by A) increasing wing area, providing an even greater TWR, C) TVC, D) increasing internal fuel dramatically. By adding massive weight with no corresponding increase in wing area/internal fuel, the viper sort of becomes a bomb truck in the blk 60. The issues with the super hornet are well known.

Advocating for Mutual Respect and Communication in Solving Homelessness in Dallas
At a recent nonprofit event, during a conversation with someone affiliated with the sponsoring organization, that individual began to speak negatively — and not quietly — about the performance of an agency partnering with her own on a large project. Attacking the same problem, the two agencies are using somewhat differing philosophies. One seems to be effective with a certain segment of the targeted population, but not all. The other, using a variant approach, seems to be having some success with a slightly different group. I listened to her perspective, and, when I nodded reflectively but didn't immediately and fully agree, she seemed a little offended. I found the whole conversation very dispiriting. Can social service really be an unhappy competition among approaches and still succeed?
When we implement within our own organization an approach to ending homelessness and poverty that seems to work, it's easy to think: this is the answer. The concomitant of that is: we found it, through our own experience, and it represents the only valid point of view. But, in truth, there is not 'one-size-fits-all' approach that's a panacea to these overarching issues. Different approaches are necessary, combined into a mosaic of complementarity. As those who know homeless people are aware: the solutions to homelessness are as as complex as the number of individuals who are homeless. All solutions, even brilliant ones, are "One size fits some."
Last week I was having coffee with a group of friends. One is a longtime South Dallas civil rights activist, and another a politician. The politician, someone who has not been closely involved with the homeless community, said to me: "Listen to this idea for ending homelessness. A co-op where homeless people live for a year. No money is exchanged. They work for credits and learn life skills and how to run a business, and in exchange are provided for during that time. At the end, they know how to live in society and have earned enough credits to get a job and an apartment. Don't you think that would work to end homelessness?" "It's a good idea," I said, "I think it would work for a certain number of people.' Still, he was convinced this was The Solution — in theory, it sounded so logical. The problem though, as I see it, is that it does not take into account the 'psychology of the individual,' to steal a phrase from my favorite writer, humorist P.G. Wodehouse.
My friend the civil rights' leader, on the other hand, has taken it upon himself to go out many times in the past with mobile feeders of the homeless, meeting and interacting with people who live on the street. He immediately 'got' that a good theory and a workable solution are two entirely different creatures.
Suppose we develop an approach that works for our own organization in attacking a social problem, and we find that we have an impact on the problem at hand. Does that mean the philosophy we develop along the way is the only viable one?
One agency learns that having volunteers from prosperous parts of town come to the low-income community where they operate in order to 'get a hit of poverty' is demeaning to the community and does not work with their vision of what they want to achieve and are accomplishing. Does that mean that all occasional volunteering is bad? No.
Right down the street will be an agency which could not survive without groups of volunteers who come, work and sometimes never return. The mission of each group is different. Each attacks a portion of a big problem, say inner city poverty and/ or homelessness, with an approach that works for them. Each is good. Each has grown from the ground up an organization with an effective approach IN THEIR ARENA.
The food service program at the Bridge, for example, could not run without a strong, vibrant and often-changing volunteer base, because serving over 2600 meals a day is a tremendous task, and the same volunteer force could not show up three times a day to do it. So the Stewpot, which runs it, has recruited and funneled over 3000 people into the Meal Services program at the Bridge since it opened at the end of May. And if that volunteer base did not consist of church groups, some from out of town, which might or might not ever come again, the work would not get done.
Who knows the impact that one visit, one encounter with poverty or homelessness may have on an individual volunteer? Because we never see them again in that setting does not mean their experience ended there. Perhaps they reflected on their experience and are blazing trails elsewhere in the city, or in the world.
Contrast that to an inner city after-school program which clearly benefits more from a limited number of committed workers, who might preferably come from the community in which the program is based, in order to form lasting and mentoring relationships with the children participating in the program. Random volunteers coming and going there is not a desirable remedy to the man and woman-power need.
Both approaches are good, both approaches fill the need-sized gap. The problem comes when we think that our way is the only way and don't respect the differing approach of the other.
There is an 'establishment' of homeless services in Dallas — the agencies that have been around for many years and have served beautifully and successfully a number of homeless individuals. And there is an approach somewhat new to Dallas, based upon 'best practices' research from other cities, that is being tried at the Bridge. The new is far from perfect, as has been widely reported. But if we already had all the answers to getting people off the streets and housed, we wouldn't be having the discussion we're having in Dallas right now about the approaches being tried at the Bridge, and we wouldn't, in fact, need the Bridge itself.
Certain issues and problems that are occurring there now were predicted ahead of time by people advocating for the homeless. For example, planning for the facility was flawed in the number of beds allotted. Is this a surprise to anyone? It was widely talked about by homeless advocates before the Bridge opened. Why didn't the 'heads' at the bridge realize that with between 6000 and 10,000 homeless people in Dallas county, 400 beds wouldn't be enough? Or if they did, plan differently? I don't know.
What about rules and regulations at the Bridge? Because a complete open-door policy has required some serious adjustment due to the predators who surround the homeless (again, a given with this population), does that mean we need to go back to the stringent requirements and limits of the previously-existing shelters, to paying for a bed, to turning people away when the quota for the night is filled, to booting them and their belongings out before dawn to spend the day on the street or at work? If we do that, we're right back where we started.
I also agree with others who say that it is problematic that those running the Bridge have not, for the most part, served on the front lines in other homeless services, although they have certainly been involved long-term in homeless advocacy. There's no question that management there is in a learning curve, and this too was expected by most people close to the homeless community.
To me, the most serious error being made by management at the Bridge doesn't lie in their non-threatening, non-punitive approach to homeless individuals (those preying on the homeless are another matter entirely), but rather the difficulty for most people outside the Bridge to contact them. I know several people who have tried often and to no avail to get in touch with them in order to offer help. When the mayor was coming to visit recently, those of us making the arrangements, including the mayor's own staff, had to go through the subcontractor for meal services, the Stewpot, in order to ever reach landfall with Bridge management! I think that's a big problem, because as a wise person close to the situation said, when there's a void of information and accessibility, it's entirely likely that it will be filled with negatives.
[Inviting Mayor Leppert to the Bridge, by the way, initiated by homeless advocates outside Bridge management, was not done in order to do a snow job on politicians, but rather the opposite — to give the mayor direct access to the homeless themselves — and that is exactly what happened. He spent the evening talking to them on his own, without management around him. He is smart enough to come to his own conclusions about how things are going, and I'm sure he will.]
I see no way to go back to limiting the number of people inside the Bridge gates without going back to arresting those who are outside, which is like going back to the dark ages. Sleeping on the lawn inside the campus on a mat is better than sleeping on the sidewalk, and it is safer, no matter what critics say. That is why people are doing it in such numbers. However, careful screening of those coming into the campus in order to make sure they are not predatory to the homeless population is essential and is apparently being done. Ditto whatever makes the campus safer.
But we should never forget what things were like in the past. The agencies that have existed in Dallas for years to help the homeless were doing fantastic work. And 6000 people still didn't have a bed at night. Sorry, folks, but I in no way look back nostalgically at that situation. As is said in twelve-step programs, "Progress, Not Perfection." I stick by my appraisal that we are making progress in Dallas: not perfect, fraught with setbacks, but progress nonetheless.
I have not been homeless, and that limits my perspective. What I have done, consistently for five years, is talk to homeless people themselves, ask them about their lives and their opinions about things. I have also sought the advice of people who work directly with them and have studied to some extent the 'best practices' in other cities. I have purposely not been a 'joiner' of organizations, with the exception of sitting on one advisory board. I want to keep the perspective of an outsider.
I propose something radical. Why don't we talk to each other, listen to each other, be available to each other, as individuals and as organizations? Communicate. Listen to people who know, who have done the work before. Ask everyone involved, then make our best decision.
That's what I was trying to do with the individual at the nonprofit meeting. I wanted to hear her perspective, and it was an important one which contained information that I did not have. But it was also biased… in favor of her own group, with no quarter given to any other. If we can take off our earmuffs and listen what others have to say, maybe we will get finally somewhere.
We are where we are with the Bridge, and the problems are significant. But to equate it and its challenges in any way to the Day Resource Center is simply ludicrous. It's a mixed bag, but it's still light years ahead of where we've been. And, for the most part, homeless people themselves will tell you that, if you ask them in a spirit of genuine inquiry.
We need to support the Bridge, while continuing to help it improve. And the Bridge management needs to let us.

Saturday 25 March 2017, 7.30pm
Presented by: OOR Saloon Zürich & Klappfon Basel
Oto Nove Swiss is a three-day festival at London's Cafe Oto. Teamed up in pairs per evening six Swiss institutions—namely Bad Bonn, Südpol Luzern, zweikommasieben Magazin, Präsens Editionen, OOR and Klappfon—invite different musicians and/or bands from Switzerland, the UK and beyond. The common denominator of the institutions involved? All of them deal with contemporary (experimental) music in one way or another—whether as a venue, record store, magazine, event series or label.
Klappfon, Basel is a monthly series of concerts happening in Basel, Switzerland, covering new music, contemporary jazz, free-improvisation, soundart and noise.
OOR Records/OOR Saloon (One's Own Room) is a collective run record-/art book store, soundspace and sound related production context in Zürich, Switzerland. Since 2014, OOR Saloon organizes performances, DJ sets, discussions, listenings, soundart mini-acts and concerts. The OOR Saloon series wishes to create collective and discursive spaces for negotiations of emancipatory artistic practices related to sound.
The London based drummer and multi-instrumentalist Valentina Magaletti returns to Café OTO for the OOR/Klappfon soirée with a special solo percussion set. Magaletti plays rhythm sections in projects such as Raime (Blackest Ever Black), Vanishing Twins (Soundway), The Oscillation (Hands in the Dark) and is half of the bustling and well-known combo Tomaga (with Tom Reellen). Devoted to musical exploration, Tomaga obsessively deconstruct familiar tropes, looking for the tension that lies between improvisation and form. «Eccentric, virtuoso, hypnotic and contagious, from jazz patterns to experiments on prepared drum kit, Valentina's style effortlessly defines her shape of the dance.»
The DJ-producer Don't DJ, former member of «Institut für Feinmotorik» and «The Durian Brothers» is interested in what he calls «musique acéphale« – a metric which has no distinct starting nor ending point and thus encourages the listener to constantly switch his* or her* metric focus to discover different «points of listening» within the same arrangement. These Euclidian polymetric soundlayerings or minimalist-gamelanian-kraut-tekks seek to inspire consciousness to wander beyond culturally suggested boundaries of the perception of reality. Don't DJ recently released on Berceuse Heroique, Emotional Response, Fullfridge amongst others and co-runs the Labels Sexes and Disk Records.
«And who sees the mystery», Gilles Aubry's new record on Corvo, is based on soundcheck situations recorded in Morocco between 2013 and 2014. The piece is a sonic exploration of Berber-Amazigh voices and instruments, rhythms and spaces. Using his microphone as a sound processing device, Aubry further manipulates his field recordings through performative feedback techniques, creating an abstract composition. Gilles Aubry is a swiss artist and musician living in Berlin. He uses field recordings, voices and sound archives to create live performances, installations and movies.
Nucleic encounters of beings bordering on nothingness. The core, the midpoint, the eye, the skull, driven into ascesis. A strobe grid clamps the mind with pure potencies, endured and engaged as directly as possible, without the security of pretext, context or explanation. Electrical signals, coaxed but barely modulated. Something other has merged with you, nonhuman. Pure Mania does not stop where you begin. Michi Zaugg (electronics); Ryan Jordan (electronics); Jamie Allen (electronics).
Anna Frei is an artist, sonic researcher, graphic designer, editor, DJ and record store co-founder (OOR Records), who lives and works in Zürich, Switzerland. She* organizes experimental audio formats, concerts and club nights, is part of several collaborative art projects, and works as a conceptrice of publications/editions. As DJ Fred Hystère, she*s searching for multi-layered, emancipatory narratives within experimental DJ mixes and collaborates on performances and audio-pieces. Since 2014, she* co-operates and co-curates OOR Records/OOR Saloon.
OOR Editions and DISK Records collaborate on the Tape Edition «The Durian Brothers – Mischgewebe» which contains newly combined and mixed live-recordings by the poly-rubber-kraut-tekk-turntablists recorded on their Swiss tour in 2015. OOR and DISK are happy to release and share a limited edition at Café OTO!
