For the first time in six years, gold has risen past the $1,400 mark. Looking at a 10-year comparison with the S&P 500, however, it's only a small consolation.
Gold investors have had to wait more than six years for this day. After a strong spurt in June, the troy ounce of gold has broken through the $1,400 mark for the first time since September 2013. Such technical milestones are all the more important for gold investors as they have had to watch one of their favorite metals go nowhere for years. And this has been despite the fact that loose central-bank policy has driven up almost all other asset classes. And even though the central banks themselves have been large net gold buyers since 2010. And even though politics has become so much more unpredictable. And, finally, even though that self-proclaimed alternative safe haven, Bitcoin, has soared by over 200% just this year.
Gold investors must make do with the joy of a year in which the price has risen by about 10%. An important factor contributing to the recent rally is that synchronization with the real U.S. interest rate has been restored. The yield on 5-year inflation-linked U.S. government bonds (which is considered a proxy for the real U.S. interest rate) has fallen from 1.15% to 0.17% over the past year. As a result, the opportunity cost of owning gold has fallen significantly.[1]And with their recent, surprisingly dovish announcements, the European Central Bank (ECB) and the U.S. Federal Reserve (the Fed) have helped to ensure that the opportunity cost should stay low for the foreseeable future. Once again the "lower-for-longer" mantra is being sung loudly.
But we believe "lower for longer" might also be a description of gold's longer-term performance. The yellow metal does not look as shiny now when you consider it is still more than a fourth down from its 2011 peak. And what's more, exactly ten years ago gold and U.S. stocks had met at the same level: at the beginning of July 2009, a troy ounce of gold was worth $927 and the S&P 500 stood at 923 index points. Since then, as our "Chart of the Week" shows, U.S. equities have risen by 220% - excluding dividends - to reach almost 3000 index points. Gold, on the other hand, has risen by only 50% to currently a little over $1,400. Nor can it be said that the lower gain was compensated by higher security, which is what gold owners usually look for. – at least, if you measure uncertainty in volatility. Taking volatility as a measure for uncertainty, the two asset classes do not differ much from each other in the long run. Lower returns with the same risk – who might want that? Perhaps those investors listening to the central banks citing recession risks as the reason for their latest turnaround in interest rates. Central banks would certainly not want to cut interest rates without sufficient grounds to do so, would they?

1. As gold does not offer a regular yield, the interest income that investors are missing out on by not investing in other (interest-bearing) investments is considered an opportunity cost. For gold investments, the real interest rate is considered the appropriate measure for opportunity costs.

Pediatric uveitis is a blinding disease and is challenging to treat in the pediatric population. There are few FDA approved systemic immunosuppressive medications approved for use in pediatric uveitis. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate efficacy and safety of these agents in pediatric uveitis.
A retrospective chart review was conducted at Children's Medical Center from 2001-2014. Ophthalmology and rheumatology visits of 35 patients were reviewed. To demonstrate efficacy of immunosuppressive agents, visual acuity, anterior chamber cell and flare, ocular complications, and dependency on topical and oral corticosteroids were recorded. To demonstrate safety, serious and minor adverse events and effect on pediatric growth and well-being were analyzed.
Systemic immunosuppressives used for treatment included methotrexate (40.0%), adalimumab (17.1%), mycophenolate mofetil (5.7%), and infliximab (2.9%). The mean follow up period was 36.8 months. Mean visual acuity at treatment initiation was 20/80, which improved to 20/50. Average anterior chamber cell and flare improved (-1.08 and -0.76 respectively). Dependency on oral steroids reduced from 8.6% to 5.7%. Frequency of topical steroids improved from 6.7 times a day to 2.6 times a day at the last follow up visit (p=0.0001, CI 2.42 to 5.70). An overall reduction in number of ocular complications was noted from 80.0% to 60.0%. 11.4% patients were noted to have serious adverse events that led to discontinuation of the immunosuppressive agent. 51.4% patients reported minor adverse events. The average height percentile was 55.52 (SD=30.59), weight was 68.41 (SD=30.15), and BMI was 68.94 (SD=33.40).
This study aims at providing a comprehensive review on the safety and efficacy of the use of systemic immunosuppressives in the management of pediatric uveitis. While other major studies have detailed characteristics and complications occurring with pediatric uveitis; to our knowledge, this is the first study of its kind to focus on the use of immunosuppressives in pediatric uveitis at a large tertiary referral center. Our study shows that the use of immunosuppressive agents is efficacious in improving visual outcomes, decreasing the need for topical steroids, decreasing inflammation and ocular complications. They are also safe given the limited number of adverse events with no significant effect on pediatric well-being.

Gin enthusiasts may have noted the gradual increase in the number of boutique distilleries operating in Devon. Salcombe Gin, established by local entrepreneurs Angus Lugsdin and Howard Davies – who met during the 1990s as sailing instructors at Salcombe's Island Cruising Club before returning to bring to life a mutual dream to set up a distillery – has already scooped awards in Europe and the US despite having been established a mere two years ago. This month, the brand releases the first of its limited edition Voyager series, which has been created in collaboration with top local chef Michael Caines of Exmouth's renowned Lympstone Manor Country House Hotel.
Named Arabella after a well-known Salcombe schooner that once plied the seas, bringing fruit back to Devon, the 46 per cent ABV gin (£65) has a notable citrus nose and a fresh, slightly floral taste thanks to the inclusion of hibiscus and verbena botanicals. Just 1,200 bottles will be available, each made from white ceramic with a copper stopper and supplied in a presentation box along with a recipe card for a gin cocktail called the Appabella that has been specially created by Caines.
Arabella can be ordered through the firm's website, or bought direct from the distillery shop in Salcombe's Island Street, which is also home to the excellent "gin school" at which individuals or pairs craft a gin from scratch in miniature copper stills using their own choice of botanicals. "Pupils" all leave with a bespoke-labelled 75cl bottle of their creation.
A session at the gin school costs £100 per person or £150 per couple, while other services offered by Salcombe Gin include the gin butler, who will arrive at your boat by a high-speed RiB and prepare drinks on board (£500); an on-water gin hamper delivery (from £100); and even the hire of an elegant catamaran, complete with a dedicated gin butler (from £1,700).
Confirmed landlubbers, meanwhile, can sample all that Salcombe Gin has to offer at the distillery's on-site bar, right beside the picturesque estuary. And believe me – on a typical summer's evening of the type we've enjoyed this season, sundowners seldom come much better…

FCA and Accountants Disciplinary update | Financial disciplinary lawyer
Posted on September 1st, 2014 by Jeremy Barnett
The new Financial Conduct Authority [FCA] and the Financial Reporting Council [FCA] have been quietly flexing their teeth to demonstrate that there is a new sherrif in town. Cyncis might say however that it's very much business as usual, with new regulators picking up where the the former FSA and AADB left off.
Financial Conduct Authority
Payday lending
The FCA regulates firms and financial advisers so that markets and financial systems remain sound, stable and resilient. They also encourage transparent pricing, putting the interests of customers and the integrity of the market at the core of their activities.
The FCA regulates over 50,000 firms and the prudential standards of those not covered by the Prudential Regulation Authority. It protects the Financial Services Industry by ensuring that firms stick to the rules and dont fall victim of scams or get tied into unfair contracts. They also ensure that firms treat customers fairly.
Recent activity has resulted in action against payday loans companies. In July 2014 the new plans were announced ensuring that people taking out payday loans will never have to repay more than twice the sum they borrowed in a proposal which is estimated will cost the payday loan industry more than £420m in lost revenues. The plan was announced the day after payday loan giant Wonga accounted that the company was going to end its 'cuddly grandparent puppet' advertising campaign that has come in for huge criticism.
Chief Executive of the FCA Martin Wheatley said it was not the regulators intention to drive the payday loans companies out of business. The new cap on default charges will be finalised in November, but they have already come in for criticism. Stella Creasy, Labour MP has campaigned against the payday lenders says that the FCA should go much further to protect those who get into trouble.
HomeServe fined £30.6 m re complaints handling and mis-selling
In February 2014, the FCA handed out the largest ever retail fine to boiler and electrical cover firm HomeServe for mis-selling insurance policies and poor complaints handling. The firm was punished for 'serious, systemic and long- running failings, extending across many key aspects of it's business' between January 2005 and October 2011.
Vulnerable clients, often of retirement age, were sold products irrespective of the need for such plans, and inadequate IT systems meant that they were often overcharged or paid for duplicate cover.
HomeServe Chief Executive Richard Harpin apologised for the failings and was improving it's business practices. In late 2011, the company suspended its entire sales workforce amid fears that they had been mis-selling products. In 2012 the company was fined £750,000 by OfCom for making excessive numbers of silent cold calls.
The FCA is currently investigating the conduct of other companies who use high pressure sales techniques in other market sectors, in particular solar panel and other 'ethical trading' businesses.
Ponzi Schemes and unregulated business
The FCA continues to be active in the traditional areas that the FSA concentrated on, of Ponzi schemes and the thorny issue of unregulated business.
In February 2014, Benjamin Wilson, a financial trader who swindled his friends and employees out of £22m was sentenced to seven years for a 'cruel and sophisticated' fraud which was described as an elaborate Ponzi scheme. The fund SureInvestment drew in more than 300 victims some of whom gave their life savings.
In February 2014, Benjamin Wilson, a financial trader who swindled his friends and employees out of £22m was sentenced to seven years for a 'cruel and sophisticated' fraud which was described as an elaborate Ponzi scheme. The fund SureInvestment drew in more than 300 victims some of whom gave their life savings.
Cases of unlawful deposit taking were originally prosecuted by the Bank of England, but the team then moved over to the FSA and continued enforcement action in both the criminal and civil cases, many years before the Ponzi scheme was made famous by Bernard Madoff. It is fair to say however that the scale of the cases pursued by the regulators under different names was far smaller than the $50 billion fraud that involved numerous 'feeder funds' and recent allegations of regulators failing to take account of whistleblowers allegations in the USA.
Surge in Suspicious Transactions.
The FCA today reported that there has been an increase of 28% in the number of suspicious transactions reported in it's first year of operation. Information was obtained by Pinsent Masons following a freedom of information data request.
This would seem to indicate that firms and individuals are now concerned that failure to pass on information will be uncovered and regulatory action taken by the FCA.
Financial Reporting Council
The FRC is the independent disciplinary body for accountants, accountancy firms and actuaries in the UK. It operates two separate disciplinary Schemes, one for the accountancy profession and the other for the actuarial profession. The scheme was previously operated by the Accountancy and Actuarial Disiplinary Board [The AADB].
The FRC operates schemes for:
The investigation of cases which raise or appear to raise important issues affecting the public interest in the UK; and
Where appropriate, bringing disciplinary proceedings against those whose conduct appears to have fallen short of the standard reasonably to be expected of members or member firms of the relevant professional body.
Recent decisions have been published in respect of:
Computer 2000 Distribution Ltd, where the FRC has extended the scope of the investigation launched under the Accountancy scheme into the preparation and approval of the financial information of the company between 2009 - 2013, to include the audits and the conduct of Members and Ernst & Young LLP, a Member Firm of ICAEW.
On 12th August 2014, the FRC also announced that they had launched an investigation under the Accountancy Scheme into the preparation, approval and audit of the financial statements of AssetCo Plc over a two year period leading up to the identification of the restatement reported in the financial statements for the period ended in September 2011.
Note: Jeremy Barnett appeared in a number of cases on deposit taking including R v Finnegan and Braud and FSA v Rourke. He is currently advising a marketing firm in relation to an FCA investigation into Unregulated Collective Investment Schemes. For four years, Jeremy was a board member of the AADB.

What a fascinating experience this man has had. I saw him in an interview with Oprah Winfrey on her Super Soul Sunday show. He had a severe case of meningitis, with diagnosis of no recovery.
His book, "Proof of Heaven", is his near death experience, documentation of God, and heaven. He is a neurosurgeon. Much of what he says he's experienced goes against his previous beliefs.

Mental Health & Happiness
Positive Psychology
Martin Seligman is one of the pioneers of the positive psychology movement. It denotes a new research focus of psychology that leaves the previous approach. Instead of concentrating on weaknesses, deficits and defects, positive psychology pays attention to aspects that strengthen people and make them more satisfied. That means the focus is redirected involving a change of perspective. What makes life more worth living? What makes people happy? By which means can we raise our life satisfaction? Positive emotions, like happiness and jo,y as well as adopting positive thinking are essential ingredients. In positive psychology strength and ability are taken into consideration thereby helping people to reach a higher life satisfaction and more happiness. A positive attitude towards life as well as positive thinking makes people not only happier but also affects against mental illnesses, like depression and burnout, preventively.
The psychologist Carmelo Vázquez is professor at Complutense University of Madrid. His research deals mainly with mental health. His focus is on the correlation between mental health, positive psychology and happiness. In a study with 3000 participants Vázquez examines the effects of mental and physical illnesses on life satisfaction. The results suggest that both problems negatively influence the life satisfaction. People exclusively suffering from mental problems additionally exhibit a much lower life satisfaction than people with solely physical problems. Meanwhile, it is well known that mental problems represent tremendous personal and economic strains. So far depression and burnout are treated via therapy and/or medication. The clinical psychology deals with the description, recognition, explanation and treatment of mental illnesses and also with those that are accompanied by physical impairment (like e.g. a headache as reaction to stress). Correspondingly, the focus is expressly on those clinical pictures (like depression, panic- or obsessive-compulsive disorder). Vázquez, however, strongly indicates the importance of enlarging the awareness and striving for a change of perspective.

Sometimes, we want to party full-out, and other times, we just want to pretty things up — quickly and for not much money. (Check out my full-scale Shabby Chic Easter Party.) So today, I'm showing you how to set your dining room table for Easter in about 15 minutes for $1.59. High impact, low investment.
Here's how my dining room normally looks. (Okay — how it normally looks when I haven't temporarily stashed party stuff on the table.)
I'm going to take you step-by-step through the really easy process of going from everyday to Easter. The point is to use what you have without turning your house upside down or buying all new decor. Your table won't look like mine because we don't have the same stuff. But, it can look just as pulled-together. You can recreate this look using just a few things from your house:
- Pull out your Easter decor. Try to find like elements so you don't have a hodgepodge. You could pair plastic Easter eggs and jelly beans, like I did at my Shabby Chic Easter Party.
- If you are a scrapbooker, grab a paper pack or leftover patterned papers in a 12″x12″ size. Using a paper pack ensures that your choices will coordinate.
- Grab some cotton balls and a glue gun. I had to shop for cotton balls, so there's the $1.59. The jumbo size will have more impact, but use whatever you've got.
- Scissors, a paper punch or a paper trimmer.
- Your good china, silver and crystal. If you don't use it on the holidays, when will you use it?
- Whatever light color fabric napkins you have. If they are all white, that's fine. You can also mix and match, like I did.
Step 1
Add Easter eggs to the centerpiece. I choose eggs with a "natural" eggshell finish in pastel colors because I thought they'd blend well with the moss balls. These eggs have ribbons so they can be hung from an Easter egg tree. I tucked the ribbons under the eggs. You are just dressing up your centerpiece instead of creating something entirely new.
Step 2
Get out your scrapbooking paper. If you don't have any, but want to recreate this look, you can find open stock paper at craft stores. The sheets are generally 5 for $1 when on sale or $0.50 a piece normally. Low cost!
Use the paper to form a table runner and as placemats. I used five sheets of 12″ x 12″ for my runner. Alternate colors and the size of patterns as you go. Tape the sheets together from the backside, so they don't move every time you pass the sweet potatoes.
Here are the placemats so you can see how I mixed and matched the patterns.
Step 3
Add something more from your Easter stash. I choose two green bunny statuettes. They have a tarnished patina about them that blended well with my muted, vintage palette. You don't need too much decor on your table, assuming that the table also will be full of serving pieces eventually.
Step 4
Set the table with all your good stuff. If you don't want to expose grandma's china to the children, by all means do something different at their spots, but if you have good stuff, I say use it!
Step 5
Add a crafty Easter touch. I had a vision of bunny tails, which is where the cotton balls come in. I know you're busy, so I created two versions: an accordion-pleat style (look for the tutorial on Monday) and a faster, paper-punch version. Bonus: if you choose the faster, paper-punch style of bunny tails, you can write each guest's name on the paper and turn these into place cards. Otherwise, they are just "for pretty."
Step 6
Layer in napkins. Now, I know you have a stash of fabric napkins because you follow this blog and have taken my advice to invest in fabric napkins, right? {wink} Remember, you can get them inexpensively from LinenTablecloth.com or TableclothFactory.com and then you have them to use over and over. I used white Flower Fairy, pink Tea Party, and orange Halloween napkins and they all work wonderfully on my Easter table.
And that's it!
Six steps, 15 minutes, and $1.59 and you have a fresh Easter table design that is mix and match marvelous.

Queen's Hospital maternity unit voted Hospital Heroes by the public
PUBLISHED: 13:05 28 November 2017
Queen's Hospital's maternity care team scooped a much-coveted award after impressing a grandmother with how much it had improved between the births of her two grandchildren.
The maternity team at Barking, Havering and Redbridge University Hospitals NHS Trust (BHRUT) found themselves nominated for the trust's Hospital Hero award at a glamorous awards night at Orsett Hall on November 16.
The prize is voted for by the public, and the team were extremely happy that their hard work in improving the unit had been formally recognised.
Sue Lovell, interim head of midwifery, said: "We were delighted to win this award, particularly as we were put forward by the relative of a patient.
"We've worked hard in the last few years to improve the experience of our patients. We've increased the number of midwives and introduced nursery nurses who can support mums with sick babies, freeing up midwife time to care for other women."

Mrs. Miles, thank you for putting the Ramblin' Rose video on your blog. I love that song and have not heard it for a long time. This was one of the songs my husband and I danced to when we were dating and taking ballroom dancing lessons. (Wow. This makes me sound old! But I am only 34. LOL!)ReplyDelete
Yes, I do have songs that remind me of my folks! :-) Any song from the musical "The King and I" reminds me of my mother because that was her favorite. And "Goodnight Irene" by the Weavers reminds me of my father because he always sang it to my mother's friend Irene.ReplyDelete
Needless to say, you can guess that I'm a grandma and up there in age now, can't you? :-D

Good old Nat King Cole :) ahhh beautiful :) His song 'Unforgettable' is one I sing constantly to my kids and hubby.ReplyDelete
A song that reminds me of my mommy? There are millions but probably when I hear a song from a musical or I hear an old church hymn she use to hum.

Detroit Drag Racer Talks Passion for Racing (VIEW ORIGINAL ARTICLE)
(REAL TIMES NEWS SERVICE) — Detroiter Brian Olatunji has a connection to Chevrolet that's probably a lot different than most.
Since the age of 15, the 29- year-old Olatunji has been racing Chevys and now spends most of his time running an 1100 horsepower '78 Chevrolet Monte Carlo as a professional dragster at speeds up to 175 mph.
Some of Olatunji's first runs on the racetrack were in a '89 Chevy Beretta at Milan Dragway.
"I've always raced Chevys," said Olatunji, whose grandfather, John Broaden, was the first African-American manager of a major NHRA drags strip. "There's a legacy with racing that's always attracted me to the brand that goes back to the foundation of Chevrolet with Billy Durant proving himself on the racetrack as a winner."
Olatunji, who graduated from Kettering University (previously General Motors Institute) before turning professional three years ago as a NHRA drag racer, said Chevy has aided in his development as a racer on a number of fronts.
"The technical background that I have is a direct result of Chevy," he said. "Since I was a kid I've always had a fascination with the products and ingenuity of the brand. I think it's helped to make me a strong competitor on and off the racetrack. And given the fact that I'm from Detroit, I've always got a chance to see all of the new products first.
"The availability and knowledge of parts and technical expertise you get with Chevrolet are second to none."
No surprise that some of Olatunji's all-time favorite Chevrolets are representative of the brand's legacy with high performance including the '70 Chevelle SS, '68 Camaro Rally Sport, the current Camaro SS, a 70.5 Split Bumper Camaro and the first and most recent generation Corvette C6.
The dragster's ties to Chevy also extends in the area of sponsorship with the support of Metro Detroit dealership Rodgers Chevrolet in Woodhaven along with Olatunji's national sponsors that include Pepsi, the U.S. Army, Drive Train Specialists and Lucas Oil.
"Our association with Rodgers Chevrolet further cements what the brand has meant to our team and their commitment to help propel us to winning," said Olatunji. "Chevy is synonymous with winners and it lets folks know that I have been affiliated with a winning brand."
Olatunji's success racing Chevrolets has inspired a lot of his efforts to give back off the track as well as be a board member for the 100 Black Men of Greater Detroit and an ambassador to the Urban Youth Racing School.

Oxford has been a place I've longed to visit for years- a city synonymous with excellence in education and research, in a beautiful and historic setting. Easily reached by train or bus from London, the city provides a perfect day trip or weekend getaway from the capital.
Here are my favourite 5 things to do in the City of Dreaming Spires.
1. Marvel at the Bodleian Library and Bridge of Sighs
Opened in 1602, the Bodleian Library (or 'the Bod' as locals refer to it) houses over 12 million items which are primarily used for reference- meaning they can't be taken from the library reading rooms. The most famous part of the library is the Radcliffe Camera– the stunning round building. To get the best view of the 'Rad Cam' go inside the neighbouring Church of St Mary the Virgin and up the church tower. Be sure to go early in the day as the line can become quite long later on.
The nearby Hartford Bridge, more commonly known as the Bridge of Sighs is a replica of the Ponte dei Sospiri in Venice and also worth a visit.
2. Visit the University Colleges
The University of Oxford has 38 Colleges and 6 Permanent Private Halls of Religious Foundation. If you're a student or staff member at the University, you must belong to one of these colleges, with everything from accommodation, dining, drinking and studying occurring within them. The oldest is University College which was founded in 1249 and boasts alumni such as Stephen Hawking, C.S Lewis and Bill Clinton.
I was lucky enough to get free entry to the colleges as I visited with a friend who is a researcher at the University. Normally entrance is between 3-6£ per college.
If you only visit one, I'd recommend Christ Church as it's impressively grand and one of the film locations for Harry Potter. Especially look out for the Cloisters, Bodley Tower Staircase and the Dining Hall. Here you'll also find a stained glass window dedicated to Lewis Carol's works.
3. Enjoy brunch at Handle Bar Cafe
This place is run by a couple of French guys and not only provides a relaxed vibe and interesting decor, but delicious brunch and coffee with sustainably sourced ingredients. Arrive before you're starving as it can become pretty busy on the weekends and you may need to wait for a table. More info here.
4. Have a drink at one of the classic pubs
There are many traditional old pubs in Oxford with my favourite being Turf Tavern which dates back to 1381! You'll find it down a tiny alley (St. Helen's Passage) next to the Bridge of Sighs- opposite the Bodleian Library. It was here in 1963 that legendary Australian Prime Minister Bob Hawke set the Guinness World Record for drinking a yard glass of ale in 11 seconds.
Other local favourites include Bear Inn (established in 1242) and the King's Arms. If cocktails are more your thing try FREVD cocktail bar.
5. Step into the largest single room selling books in the world
Blackwell's Bookshop on Broad Street was founded in 1879 and boasts the largest single room selling books worldwide- the Norrington Room. A must for any book lovers, my favourite thing was the mystery books wrapped in brown paper with elusive blurbs.
If you have time to spare then check out the Natural History Museum on Parks Road- entry is free!

Taliban founder Mullah Omar lived within walking distance of US bases in Afghanistan for years, according to a new book that suggests embarrassing failures of American intelligence.
US and Afghan leaders believed the one-eyed, fugitive leader fled to and eventually died in Pakistan, but a new biography says Omar was living just three miles from a major US Forward Operating Base in Zabul province, where he died in 2013.
"Searching for an Enemy", by Dutch journalist Bette Dam, says the Taliban chief lived as a virtual hermit, refusing visits from his family and filling notebooks with jottings in an imaginary language.
Dam spent more than five years researching the book and interviewed Jabbar Omari, Omar's bodyguard who hid and protected him after the Taliban regime was overthrown.
The author spent years reporting in Afghanistan and also wrote an earlier book about former Afghan president Hamid Karzai.
Following the 9/11 attacks in 2001 which led to the fall of the Taliban, the US put a $10 million bounty on Omar and he went into hiding in a small compound in the regional capital Qalat, Dam writes.

"Man is a genius when he is dreaming."
Akira Kurosawa, 20th century Japanese film maker.
Kurosawa-san was right describing our dreams, both those while we sleep and those awake, as an indication of human genius.
However, a dream not realized is only a dream.
To actually be genius we must evolve what we dream to reality.

A 'Back-to-school' Checklist for Human Resources
Guest Contributorby Evelyn Watts | Posted | Performance Management
August is coming to a close, and back-to-school season (for many) has arrived!
We all know what it means for the kids, but what does it mean for HR? For the majority of organizations this time of year marks the near-end of Q3, and it most likely means there are program milestones and outcomes you need to be ready to reflect on, report on and implement before the end of Q4.
With these points in mind we've put together a handy "back-to-school" checklist for HR to help you stay on top of things.
1. Refresh managers on giving and receiving feedback
With vacations, national holidays and the call of summer fun in general, your managers may have lost momentum in giving and receiving feedback. Consider providing them with these great resources on how and why to provide regular coaching and feedback:
- Employee feedback and coaching templates to help managers give truly helpful and effective feedback
- How Often Is Too Often with Continuous Feedback? A primer on what 'continuous feedback' really means
- How to engage employees in coaching conversations to make it exactly that - a two-way conversation
Bonus: Your managers might also value reading this resource on how to effectively receive feedback.
2. Have employees update their progress on goals
Over the course of the summer, we do our best to stay on top of work. But providing an update on the status of our work can sometimes be difficult between trips to the lakeside/seaside or vacations spent out of town.
Now is the time for employees take a hard look at their goal progression. Depending on where they're at, they can adjust their game plan for accomplishing those goals, or work with their managers to adjust the goals themselves.

3. Start the multirater selection process
360 degree feedback is a time-consuming endeavor but a very worthwhile one. It's a great way for employees to understand how peers and other leaders across the organization value their work and see potential development opportunities for recipients to consider.
Multirater feedback has a lot of moving parts: HR, the raters, the managers, and the employees being rated all have roles to play. Because there are so many potential contributors to this process, it can take longer than expected to complete, so get an early start on steps like:
- Selecting how many raters will be used - 8-15 raters is what's typically recommended, but make sure you at least have five to help maintain anonymity - a key to the multirater process
- Identifying who will be selecting the raters - managers, HR, or the employees themselves
- Asking managers to start thinking about who will be used as raters - managers, peers, direct reports, clients, or a mix of all of them
- Determining what aspects of performance will be assessed - core and/or leadership competencies, performance on goals, etc. - and whether you'll gather quantitative feedback, qualitative feedback, or both
Here's a great resource on how to set up an effective 360 degree multirater evaluation process.
4. Have your employees start reflecting and planning
When it comes time for the year-end review, a mid-year review or quarterly assessment, many employees are under-prepared. A great best practice is for employees to record performance successes, challenges and outcomes all year long.
The benefit is that when it's time to complete a self-appraisal, employees will be infinitely more ready to write a great self-appraisal, set their goals for next performance period, and give great feedback to those around them.
If your employees haven't started or added to a performance journal, encourage them to do so now.
Here's a resource on how to write a great self-appraisal that can help them get ready.
5. Start evaluating your performance management program

We can communicate between generators and their instances with strategically placed yield keywords. This video will show you how to make it happen based on a simple example.
We have a generator here and an instance of a generator. These two can communicate. You can send messages from the instance of the generator back to the generator function, and you can send messages from the generator itself to the instance of the generator.
Let's say we want to send a message from the generator to our instance of the generator. We can do so with a yield keyword, putting any value that we want to the right of it. This value will now be returned from the hello.next call that we do, which pauses the generator, this yield keyboard, and returns this value.
If we run our function, we will see that it doesn't only return the value, but it actually returns an object which has a value property of first, which is the value we pass through, and another property called done, which is currently set to false.
Done is set to false because we haven't yet finished executing our generator. It is still paused at this yield keyword. To finish executing the generator, we simply call hello.next again. The second log that I've put out, now has a value of undefined, but done is true now because our generator is now at the end of the function and has finished executing.
If we want to pass a value from our instance of the generator back to the generator function, we can pass a value when we resume the generator with hello.next and assign it to any variable. In our case, I'll call it word, and then console.logout whatever we pass in.
I'm going to pass in a string that says max and start our function again to see what happens. This time, both of our hello.next calls return the value of undefined. We also got max logged out because we logged out the word which we passed in when we resumed the generator.

This article is part of our Fight Stat Wrap series.
The UFC returned to Fox on Saturday night with a card from Long Island, N.Y. In the main event, former UFC middleweight champion Chris Weidman got back on track with a third-round submission victory over TUF winner Kelvin Gastelum. The following is a by-the-numbers recap that highlights the stats and milestones that stood out on the main card, with stats courtesy of FightMetric.com.
Chris Weidman dominates on the ground against Kelvin Gastelum
After dropping three straight fights, Weidman went back to his wrestling roots against Gastelum. He landed seven of his 13 takedown attempts and clearly made a concerted effort to at least mix in his takedowns. With that being said, the former middleweight champion still landed 24 of his 36 significant strikes at distance, that is standing and not in the clinch, before scoring the win via submission. This was an impressive performance that showed all aspects of Weidman's game.
Despite only scoring a third-round finish, Weidman still up an impressive 113 DraftKings points. He padded his score with points for seven takedowns and five passes on the ground.
Darren Elkins does enough to edge Dennis Bermudez
This was a close fight. Elkins ended up with the slight edge on significant strikes. He outlanded Bermudez by only one significant strike, 70 to 69. His best round was the second, in which Elkins outlanded Bermudez 27 to 19. Despite whatever you think about the decision, it is impressive that "The Damage" found a way to win when he landed only three of his 10 takedown attempts.
Elkins finished with 86 DraftKings points. In addition to the 30-point decision victory bonus, he also scored points for landing 70 significant strikes, two passes and three takedowns.
Patrick Cummins survives a tough first round against Gian Villante
There seems to be a pattern to Cummins' fights. In his victories, he survives an early onslaught before coming back to win. That happened again on Saturday night. In the first round, he absorbed 23 significant strikes from Villante, while landing only 17. In the next two rounds, Cummins turned it around an outlanded Villante 69 to 49. The problem is that this might not be a sustainable strategy. In his 10-fight UFC career, Cummins has absorbed 305 significant strikes and been knocked out four times. Taking that amount of damage will likely catch up to him.
Cummins scored 78 DraftKings points. The score was composed of 43 points for 86 significant strikes, five points for one takedown and the 30-point decision victory bonus. He normally scores more points on takedowns, but Villante forced him to go one for 11 on his takedown attempts.
Jimmie Rivera rides strong first round to decision over Thomas Almeida
After coming off the biggest win of his career over Urijah Faber, Rivera returned and padded his resume once again. He came into this fight against Almeida, and it showed early in the fight. In the first round, he scored two knockdowns, which pretty much set the tone for the fight. Almeida fought back and ended up outlanding Rivera 72 to 70, but it was too little too late.
Rivera earned 95 points for DraftKings players. 20 of those points came directly from the pair of knockdowns landed in the first round.

Kentucky coach Mark Stoops understands what his team's impressive start this season has meant to fans and others.
"If you play football in the SEC and have success it has a great impact on your community and university," Stoops said. "We appreciate (UK president) Dr. (Eli) Capuloto and same with (athletics director) Mitch Barnhart."
There has even been love for the UK football program from John Calipari.
"Coach Cal and I are buddies. I am his biggest fan," Stoops said. "When I go to a basketball game I can be spectator and see how wild and crazy our fan base is, and I love it. He feels the same way at a football game."
Stoops understands UK fans have not always been happy with the time it has taken to rebuild the Kentucky program. However, he understands that passion.
"I take pride in what our team looks like. How we play is a direct reflection of myself. I try to make the community and fan base proud and I am glad so far this season we have done that and we plan to keep doing that," the UK coach said.

With the sun beating down on your everyday learning how to protect and heal your skin from the sun will help your skin stay healthy and happy this summer!
Summer is a time to enjoy the outdoors and all of the fun activities the warmer weather allows. However, with the great weather comes the necessary precautions of avoiding sunburn, preventing heat exhaustion, and general Summer safety. With a little bit of knowledge and due diligence, you can hopefully enjoy all Summer has to offer without suffering from any negative effects.
It seems pretty obvious that sunscreen is necessary when outside, but far too often people underestimate their risk in different situations. For example, the sun is more intense and can burn you more quickly in the mountains due to your sheer proximity to it as well as burning you more on the water (the reflection of rays and all). Here are 5 ways to protect yourself:
- Wear sunscreen every day, in all weather, and in every season. It should be at least a sun protection factor (SPF) 30 and say "broad-spectrum" on the label…meaning it protects against the sun's UVA and UVB rays. Apply at least 15 minutes prior to going outside.
- Reapply sunscreen at least every 60 minutes; more often if you're sweating or swimming.
- Wear wide-brimmed hats and long sleeve shirts and pants for the best coverage.
- Use sunglasses with total UV protection to protect your eyes from getting burned…yes, this is a thing!
- Avoid being out in the sun as much as possible from 10 am – 2 pm (the hottest part of the day when the sun is the most intense and likely to burn you).
Now if you have tried your best and still end up sunburned, there are some easy ways to treat your burn:
- Take a cool bath without soap or bubbles. Adding baking soda (and air drying) helps relieve inflammation and itching. You can also add apple cider or white vinegar as well (about 1 cup) since it's a great astringent and soothes sunburn pain.
- Apply a "watery" type of moisturizer (not a heavy cream) to relieve the dryness. Eucerin is a good example.
- Apply an ice pack (or a bag of frozen peas) wrapped in a damp cloth to your burned areas. This will absorb some of the heat from your skin, constrict blood vessels, and reduce swelling.
- Hydrate from the inside out…with water AND food! Think watermelon, honeydew, and cantaloupe.
- Try applying black tea bags to your face, eyelids, etc. for relief (soak in hot water, let cool, and apply). You can also soak a clean cloth in milk with water and ice cubes and apply as a compress, mix cornstarch with water to make a paste, or apply plain yogurt to the burned areas then rinse off after a few minutes. All of these items help to reduce the inflammation caused by the sunburn as well as ease the pain.
- Use Aloe Vera gel (directly from the plant is best) to soothe burned skin and help it to heal quickly.
- Resist the urge to peel! Let the body keep its protective layer as long as possible to avoid any type of infection peeling might cause.
- Know when to call a doctor. Some sunburns are just too severe to be treated at home so watch for the signs that signal it's beyond your remedy: nausea, chills, fever, faintness, extensive blistering, general weakness, patches of purple discoloration, or intense itching. Also, be aware of the burn seems to be spreading…it could be infected.
You also need to be aware of any of the medications you might be taking make you more photosensitive (causing a severe reaction to UV rays). Certain medications like antibiotics, tranquilizers, and antifungals can increase your sensitivity to the sun causing you to burn more quickly. Oral contraceptives, diuretics, diabetes medications, and even PABA-containing sunscreens may also increase your sunburn risk. So the takeaway is…have fun in the sun but be aware of your personal situation and arm yourself with the knowledge that will allow you to enjoy the day without having to pay for it later.

SINGAPORE - A woman who tried to climb down a storey at a Housing Board block in Sengkang to get into a man's flat on Sunday (Sept 3) was arrested in relation to a case of intentional alarm.
The incident occurred around 1.30pm at Block 336B, Anchorvale Crescent.
A neighbour spotted the girl on a ledge at the third-floor corridor, and took a video of it, Lianhe Wanbao reported on Monday.
The neighbour, Ms Yusliena Zulkifli Smith, told Wanbao that she had been airing her laundry when she saw a woman squatting on the ledge along the corridor.
She said the woman was looking at the kitchen window of a unit on the second floor, and seemed to want to climb inside.
"I screamed and asked her what she was doing," said Ms Yusliena. "She did not answer and instead placed her finger to her lips and asked me to keep quiet."
Ms Yusliena then rushed outside her home and went to the corridor to ask the woman what she was doing.
The woman climbed back into the corridor and left, Ms Yusliena said.
She then called the police. Ms Yusliena had posted a video of the incident on her Facebook page, but later took it down.
The police told The Straits Times on Monday that they were alerted to a case of intentional alarm at Block 336B, Anchorvale Crescent, on Sunday at 1.36pm.
"A 21-year-old woman was arrested in relation to the case," said the police spokesman.
ST understands that she had wanted to go to her ex-boyfriend's home, but he did not want her to, so she tried to climb down from the third floor to his home on the second floor.
Police investigations are ongoing.
