It has been about a month since the last earnings report for Expedia (EXPE - Free Report) . Shares have added about 7.5% in that time frame, outperforming the S&P 500.
Will the recent positive trend continue leading up to its next earnings release, or is Expedia due for a pullback? Before we dive into how investors and analysts have reacted as of late, let's take a quick look at the most recent earnings report in order to get a better handle on the important drivers.
Expedia's Q3 Earnings & Revenues Miss Estimates
Expedia Group reported third-quarter 2019 adjusted earnings of $3.38 per share, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 11.5%. The figure also declined 7% on a year-over-year basis. However, the bottom line improved 90.9% from the previous quarter.
Revenues increased 9% year over year and 12.8% on a sequential basis to $3.56 billion. Top-line growth was driven by robust performance of Expedia Partner Solutions, Vrbo and Hotels.com. Further, growing stayed nights and expanding lodging portfolio continued to accelerate revenue generation.
However, the figure lagged the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $3.58 billion.
Unfavorable foreign exchange fluctuation remained an overhang during the reported quarter. Further, sluggishness in trivago impacted the top line negatively.
Expedia witnessed gross bookings of $26.93 billion in the third quarter. Moreover, the figure improved 9.1% year over year but declined .8% sequentially. Further, the figure was lower than the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $27.03 billion.
Nevertheless, the company remains optimistic about its strong supply acquisition efforts, strategic investments and product innovation. These initiatives are anticipated to drive business in the days ahead.
Revenues by Segment
Core OTA segment revenues (76.8% of total revenues) improved 8.1% year over year to $2.73 billion. The segment witnessed gross bookings of $22.23 billion, reflecting year-over-year growth of 10%. Increasing stayed room nights number improved 11% during the reported quarter. Further, strengthening lodging business was a major positive. Notably, the company added above 40,000 properties to the core lodging platform in the third quarter.
Egencia revenues (4.1% of revenues) increased 4.3% on year-over-year basis to $145 million. Further, quarterly bookings came in $2.1 billion, up 5% from the prior-year quarter. Growing room night growth and rising hotel attach rates drove the segment's top line.
Vrbo (13.1% of revenues) generated $467 million revenues in the third quarter, advancing 14% from the year-ago quarter. This segment witnessed year-over-year growth of 5% in gross bookings, which came in at $2.63 billion. Vrbo's growing online bookable listings remained a tailwind throughout the third quarter. Further, accelerating transactional revenues contributed to the segment's revenues.
Moreover, trivago revenues (7.8% of revenues) declined 5.4% year over year to $279 million. Introduction of new advertiser features impacted trivago's performance in its market place during the reported quarter. This in turn affected the top line.
Corporate (0.7% of revenues) is a new segment comprising Bodybuilding.com, which was acquired in the Liberty Expedia Holdings, Inc. transaction in the beginning of third quarter. The segment generated $24 million of revenues during the reported quarter.
Revenues by Business Model
Merchant model generated revenues of $1.86 billion (52.4% of revenues), up 10% year over year.
Agency division generated revenues of $917 million (25.8% of revenues), improving 5% from the prior-year quarter.
Advertising & Media yielded $311 million of revenues (8.7 % of revenues), improving 3% from the year-ago quarter. This can primarily be attributed to strong performance of Expedia Group Media Solutions. However, revenues were hurt by currency headwinds and weak performance by trivago.
Moreover, Vrbo (13.1% of revenues) generated $467 million in the reported quarter, advancing 14% from the year-ago quarter.
Revenues by Geography
Expedia generated $1.98 billion revenues (55.7% of total revenues) from domestic regions, up 11% from the prior-year quarter. This was primarily driven by strong domestic room nights, which improved 8% from the year-ago quarter. This led to increase in gross bookings in these regions resulting in an improvement of 10% year over year.
Further, revenues generated by international regions were $1.58 billion (44.3% of revenues), up 6.2% on a year-over-year basis. Expedia witnessed solid growth of 13% in room nights in international regions during the reported quarter. Further, gross bookings rose 7% from the prior-year quarter.
Revenues by Product Line
Lodging revenues (73% of total revenues) came in $2.59 billion, climbing 11% from the prior-year quarter. This can primarily be attri9buted to robust stayed room nights growth on account of strong momentum in Expedia Partner Solutions, Vrbo and Hotels.com.
Further, Expedia's global lodging portfolio reached over 1.4 million properties as of Sep 30, 2019.
Air revenues were $202 million (5.7% of revenues), down 3% year over year. This was due to slowdown in revenue per ticket, which plunged 10% year over year.
Operating Details
Adjusted EBITDA was $912 million, which remained flat year over year. Notably, Core OTA and Vrbo EBITDA witnessed year-over-year growth of 3% each. However, Egencia and trivago EBITDA were down 1% and 60% from the year-ago quarter, respectively.
Further, adjusted selling and marketing expenses were $1.63 billion, up 11% year over year. As a percentage of revenues, these expenses expanded 90 bps year over year to 46%.
Additionally, general and administrative expenses were $182 million, which rose 8% from the prior-year quarter. As a percentage of revenues, the figure remained flat from the year-ago quarter to 5.1%.
Operating margin came in 17.1% in the reported quarter, which contracted 340 bps from prior-year quarter.
Balance Sheet & Cash Flow
As of Sep 30, 2019, cash and cash equivalents were $3.79 billion, down from $4.26 billion as of Jun 30, 2019. Short-term investments totaled $658 million, improved from $631 million in the previous quarter.
Further, Expedia utilized $861 million cash in operations during the reported quarter against $1.14 billion of cash generated from operations in the prior quarter. Further, free cash flow was ($1.15) billion compared with $839 million in the previous quarter.
Unfavorable changes in timing of payables impacted the company's cash flow negatively.
The company paid out quarterly dividend worth $50 million (34 cents per share) during the reported quarter.
Guidance for 2019
Expedia revised the guidance for adjusted EBITDA growth downward from 12-15% to 5-8% for 2019. This includes the impact of high cost channels and low ADRs.
Further, the company expects sluggish contributions from Vrbo and trivago in 2019.
How Have Estimates Been Moving Since Then?
In the past month, investors have witnessed a downward trend in fresh estimates. The consensus estimate has shifted -28.24% due to these changes.
VGM Scores
At this time, Expedia has a poor Growth Score of F, however its Momentum Score is doing a bit better with a D. Following the exact same course, the stock was allocated a grade of D on the value side, putting it in the bottom 40% for this investment strategy.
Overall, the stock has an aggregate VGM Score of F. If you aren't focused on one strategy, this score is the one you should be interested in.
Estimates have been broadly trending downward for the stock, and the magnitude of these revisions indicates a downward shift. It's no surprise Expedia has a Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell). We expect a below average return from the stock in the next few months.

The upside of stress
January 23, 2009 at 8:17 am 1 comment
We're always hearing about how bad stress is for us. And, considering what extreme stress does to the body – "…headaches, stomach pain, high blood pressure, insomnia, and mind freeze…" – it's understandable that we're not encouraged to embrace it.
But can stress actually help us, rather than just hurting? Turns out, it can.
In reasonable amounts, stress can make you more alert. The "fight or flight" hormones and other stress-induced hormones heighten your senses, speeding up your heartbeat, improving your brain's blood flow and improving vision and hearing. These hormones can even strengthen your immune system and prevent age-related memory loss by increasing brain cell activity. All this can serve to help you get more stuff done when you need to.
It can be hard to find the balance between good-for-you levels of stress and a harmful state of agitation, but you can learn where the tipping point is and utilize a variety of techniques to keep yourself on the right side of the line.
Having some degree of control – or thinking you do – generates more beneficial stress hormones. Even if you don't have control, you can fool your brain into thinking you do. Choose not to respond to a certain stressor. Don't check e-mail, for example, except at designated times. Or, work on other areas of your life over which you do have control, particularly if you're good at whatever it is. Do something meaningful, like volunteering or donating or helping a friend in a difficult situation.
Taking time to pause also helps keep stress at positive levels. That's often easier said than done, but when you force yourself to stop and breathe deeply, you often recognize which situations are beyond your control and which ones you can do something about. Pausing keeps you from letting your anxiety spiral into an unchecked panic attack. Ask yourself, too, if your immediate response to the situation is going to make things better or worse. Are you generalizing about your role in whatever is causing you stress?
Limiting perfectionist tendencies is important, too. Perfectionism is unrealistic and sets up unreasonable expectations that lead to unnecessary stress.
Believe it or not, a little bit of stress acts almost like a stress vaccine. If you've never experienced a stressful situation, you may fall completely apart when it happens, not being able to handle the surge of hormones flooding it. Having survived some stressful times means that your body is prepared to deal with its biological response when something negative occurs.
And, as we all know, exercising is a terrific way to manage stress. Exercise releases endorphins, the "feel good" mood boosters. Benefits typically kick in about an hour after you've worked out.
So, when you're feeling stressed, don't automatically assume it's a bad thing. Remember that stress can be beneficial when it's kept at manageable levels and use all the techniques at your disposal to make the most of it.

Is there any circumstance under which exercise can be dangerous to your health? I have never heard anyone speak of this yet we do hear of athletes and the like who collapse and die due to overly rigorous activity.

The English speaking, Danube Church here in Budapest is populated with many ex- pats from the United States. Most of these ex-pats are full time missionaries that have been here in Budapest for several years. Whenever I ask one of them "Where is home?" quite a few of them will just give me a blank stare at first and then say "Not sure, I have been on the mission field here for so long I don't know if I can say that I can call any place my real home now."
At first this response seemed strange to me, and I even felt a little sorry for them..not having a place that they could call home. But the more I thought about this, of not having a place that they could call home, it occurred to me that this actually works out to their advantage. As Christians we are taught that ultimately this earth is not our home. Heaven is our real home for eternity. Unfortunately, we sometimes get so caught up in our own lifestyles and so attached to the things of this earth that the thought of leaving earth to go live in a better place (heaven) doesn't really register in our own thinking. But for those missionaries who don't have an earthly "home" allows them to focus more on their heavenly home. If we would consider the words of Jesus in Matthew 24 we would heed his advice. He told us to be alert, and to be ready for His return when the end time signs are upon us. Looking at world events and the crazy weather patterns of tornados, hurricanes, and earthquakes all increasing in frequency and intensity , I think that these events match up with those end time signs mentioned in Matt 24. In light of current events it would be wise to be watching for the Lord's return so that we could go with Him to our real home.
Finally, the story has been told of a young Jewish man, David, from New York. He had made a lot of money in the stock market at an early age and he became disenchanted with life and all that money could buy. He began to look for meaning to his life besides making money. He went to Israel in search of finding some sort of fulfillment, and after about a week of traveling in Israel he sat down at an outdoor café in Jerusalem. The waiter asked hilm why had he come to Israel, and so the young Jewish man told him "I came here looking for some kind of sense of fulfillment …maybe in discovering my Jewish roots, but so far I am very dissapointed with my trip. The waiter responded "You need to go see Rabbi Finnstein, he lives just two blocks down the street, and I will call and tell him that you are coming. " David reluctantly agreed to go see him, and so he ended up walking down to his house and knocking on his door. The elderly Jewish Rabbi greeted David warmly and said "Come in, I have been expecting you." Upon entering his house David noticed that there were only a few sticks of furniture, and he turned to the Rabbi and asked "Where is all of your furniture. The Rabbi quickly retorted "Where is all of your furniture'. "My furniture?" David asked "I am just a tourist…I'm just passing through." With that the Rabbi looked him straight in the eyes and said "And so am I !"
It is good to be reminded that we are "just passing through" and that heaven is our real home. Let's keep our hearts focused on the things that really matter!

Washington University in St. Louis is establishing a scholarly and educational center that will focus on the role of religion in politics in the United States, according to Chancellor Mark S. Wrighton.
"The establishment of the John C. Danforth Center on Religion & Politics reflects the legacy of Jack Danforth and his belief in the importance of a civil discourse that treats differences with respect," Wrighton said in making the announcement Dec. 16 at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C.
"The center will serve as an ideologically neutral place that will foster rigorous, unbiased scholarship and encourage conversations between diverse and even conflicting points of view," Wrighton said.
"Knowing that religious values and beliefs can either encourage or undermine civility, the center and its educational programs and scholarly research can provide a bridge between religious and political communities and will inform new kinds of academic explorations focusing on the relationships between the two. We think that's a worthy goal."
The creation of the center, which includes the recruitment of five new faculty members, is being made possible by a $30 million endowment gift from the St. Louis-based Danforth Foundation.
It is believed to be the largest gift of its kind made to a university to fund such an academic center.
The center opens in January 2010 and will convene public conferences and lectures to address local, state and national issues related to religion and politics and also will offer an educational program in religion and politics, including an interdisciplinary undergraduate minor in religion and public life.
The new faculty appointments will be in the area of American religion and politics and will complement the work of scholars already on the Washington University faculty. The new faculty members will hold joint appointments between the new center and existing academic departments.
The center will attract visiting scholars to St. Louis and create opportunities for interaction with Washington University faculty, students and members of the St. Louis community. It also plans to publish and disseminate proceedings of conferences and results of studies by faculty, visiting scholars and students of the center.
"Historically, the responsibility for this kind of dialogue has most often been left to universities with religious connections," Danforth said. "But great non-sectarian institutions like Washington University combine rigorous academic standards with traditions of civil conversation, and that's why this is the perfect place for such a center.
"Few issues are more critical to the well being of a democracy than how religious beliefs — or the denial of such beliefs — co-exist with civic virtue and of how the 'truths' of the one are made compatible with the toleration and good will required by the other," Danforth said.
The founding director of the center will be Wayne Fields, Ph.D., the Lynne Cooper Harvey Distinguished Professor of English in Arts & Sciences at Washington University, and a search for his successor will commence in January 2010. The newly recruited director will be named the John C. Danforth Distinguished Professor.
"Most leading scholars — and increasingly more and more of the general public — recognize the profound and complicated relationship between religion and politics in America," said Fields, also a professor American culture studies and an expert on political rhetoric.
"This relationship was acknowledged by America's founders as both an enormous advantage to a democratic republic and a challenge to a society committed to individual rights of conscience and belief. Institutions of higher learning are ideally situated to use their special status as places of intellectual rigor and openness to help identify and negotiate the tensions that the relationship between religion and politics often generates," said Fields.
While most of the center's activities and conferences will be located in St. Louis, the center will draw upon Washington University's growing presence in Washington, D.C., including its renewed partnership with the Brookings Institution, which was announced last April.
"Both religion and politics revolve around an effort to find wholeness," Fields said. "Scholars are simultaneously at work taking things apart and putting them back together and are an experiment in whether individuals can be at once independent and yet part of something larger.
"Our center should build on these yearnings even as it brings together profoundly different cultures and commitments. It joins a number of other distinguished programs across the country that are engaged in some aspect of the study of religion and politics. We hope to complement their work while contributing to a growing academic and public conversation."
Danforth, Fields and Wrighton also took part in a second news conference in St. Louis at the Alumni House on the Danforth Campus in the afternoon of Dec. 16.
"At least from the moment that the founders suggested that we had inalienable rights that were the gift of a creator, our politics and our religion have been bound together in American democracy in unique and complicating ways," Fields said at the afternoon new conference.
"Part of what we are hoping to do with this extraordinary opportunity is to contribute both to the ways in which, as scholars and as students, we understand how these things have worked in America's past and how they are working in America's present, but also how we begin to create a kind of place in which an ongoing civil conversation in this area can be sustained," Fields said.
"The more light that's shed on a subject, the healthier we are," Danforth said at Alumni House news conference. "That is what this center is intended to do. It's intended to shed light on a subject that can be very, very difficult.
"I think the more light the better and I can't think of a better place to shed light than at a university."

When it comes to window coverings you generally have three options to go for – blinds, shades, or curtains. This article will help you understand the advantages and disadvantages of each type so you can make the right choice for your home or office.
Window blinds
Blinds are made of slats that can be drawn up and down or sideways to cover a window or a door. The slats are generally made of a hard material like aluminium, bamboo or vinyl, but they can also be made of fabric if they hang vertically. Vertical blinds are often used to cover sliding doors or wide windows as they can be moved sideways along a track to open or close them. The blind slats, or vanes, can also be tilted to allow more or less light to enter. Blinds are well suited for all rooms, but are especially useful in bathrooms and kitchens where fabric coverings would be unsuitable due to damp and humidity.
Popular types: Venetian blinds, vertical blinds
Advantages: Blinds can take up little space if they are installed within a door or window frame rather than outside it. They allow fine control over how much light enters a room (though they don't do a great job of blocking all light).
Disadvantages: The slats allow light as well as hot or cold air to leak through even when they are closed, so they are not great light and temperature insulators. They also require cleaning as they can accumulate dust easily, though cleaning is fairly easy as the slats can simply be wiped with a soft cloth.
Shades are often lumped under the category of 'blinds', but it is useful to distinguish between them. While blinds are made of separate slats, shades are made from a solid piece of fabric that is rolled or drawn up and down to open or close. If thick fabric is used, shades can be very effective at blocking out light and providing temperature insulation. To let in more light, a shear (semi-transparent) fabric can be used. Shades can give a softer look than blinds and offer huge variety in terms of fabric patterns and textures. Light dirt and dust can be cleaned away with the soft brush attachment of a vacuum cleaner. Tougher dirt will need professional cleaning.
Popular types: Roller blinds, Roman shades
Advantages: Shades can block out light more effectively than blinds or curtains. They can also offer very good temperature insulation. Shades also take up less space than curtains as they are generally installed within a window frame rather than outside it.
Disadvantages: Can require professional cleaning.
Curtains and drapes
Curtains ofter an easy choice for window coverings because they are easy to hang and can be cheaper than blinds or shades. Curtains are usually made from lightweight fabrics and can be short enough to just cover a window without reaching to the ground. Drapes are similar to curtains but use heavier fabric and reach all the way to the ground. They can give a room a very luxurious, classic look, and are excellent for insulating against light, temperature and even noise.
Advantages: Can be cheaper to purchase and install. Offer good insulation if heavy fabric is used.
Disadvantages: Can take up more space than blinds, making a room seem smaller. Can require professional cleaning. Curtains are not recommended for humid areas like bathrooms and kitchens as they are susceptible to mould and can absorb fat and odours from cooking.
We hope this overview has clarified the issue of blinds vs shades vs curtains so you can make an informed choice.

Dr. Helga Rippen, Secretary's Transformation Action Team for Preparedness, 202-690-7100.End Further Info End Preamble Start Supplemental Information
Hurricanes Katrina and Rita were two of the most devastating hurricanes ever recorded, affecting approximately 90,000 square miles and 1.5 million people. The hurricane and flooding caused the evacuation of the city of New Orleans, marking the first time a major American city has been completely evacuated. More than 700,000 households have received rental assistance from the Federal Emergency Management Agency, and more than 1.4 million families (over 4 million people) received emergency financial assistance from the American Red Cross. The hurricane did not discriminate among businesses, governments, and not-for-profit institutions: financial institutions, healthcare facilities, local courthouses, and academic institutions alike suffered devastating destruction. In many cases, significant personal and institutional records were lost.
In response to the loss and destruction of important documents experienced by the survivors of these hurricanes, the White House report, The Federal Response to Hurricane Katrina: Lessons Learned, recommended that the Federal government work with the private sector to encourage the development of a capacity to voluntarily store and retrieve personal information that would be useful in the event of a natural or manmade disaster, such as an earthquake, flood, pandemic influenza, or terrorist event. Specifically, the report recommended that the Federal government should:
encourage the private sector development of a capability for individuals to voluntarily submit their personal identifying information for virtual storage that citizens and their families could access during emergencies. The capability is best thought of as a 21st century version of a bank vault, with virtual safe deposit boxes for information. Disaster victims could access the virtually stored data to apply for Federal assistance, medical treatment, or insurance benefits. Because of the sensitivity of the personal data stored, strict privacy limitations and protections would be required.
Appendix A, Recommendation 66, at page 107. The White House report, The Federal Response to Hurricane Katrina: Lessons Learned, is available on the Start Printed Page 29643Web at http://www.whitehouse.gov/infocus/hurricane/.
This Request for Information is a first step in understanding the availability or feasibility of such services and how the Federal government might encourage citizens to voluntarily maintain critical information so that it can be accessed easily during an emergency. This Request for Information is not intended as a prelude to any procurement by the Federal government. Rather, it is intended to elicit suggestions from members of the public about capabilities that should be considered for maintaining personal information and to provide ideas for consideration as to how to encourage individuals and the private sector to take action in preparation for emergencies.
In particular, HHS seeks to understand the roles and responsibilities of individuals who provide and maintain this information, including the relationship between custodians and individuals who use their services. Respondents should differentiate between capabilities that already exist and those which are planned or desirable in the future.
A separate Request for Information will be published in the Federal Register seeking input about the availability or feasibility of electronic benefits services for disaster victims that would facilitate the provision of Federal, state, local, and non-governmental human assistance programs in an efficient manner.
HHS encourages all potentially interested parties—individuals, consumer groups, associations, governments, non-governmental organizations, and commercial entities—to respond. To facilitate review of the responses, please reference the question number in your response.

Epixel becomes a role model in the IT industry with charity works and helping hands to rebuild Kerala from flood relief.
- Kerala throughout has been affected with a destructive flood.
- Numbers are high in terms of loss, both life, and mortgage.
- On August 17th of this month, Epixel completed its 10 years of success.
- The team, unlike previous years, hasn't celebrated in grant fashion indeed they helped the flood victims with bigger contributions and camp participation.
[Palakkad, Kerala, India] IT industry has seen its ups and down in the past 10 years and Epixel Solutions stood up without much shook in this period of time, and now on August 17th, they have celebrated their anniversary in its best way. As per reports from the employees they have decided not to make the celebration grant, in fact, they stood up and lined up by reaching out to flood relief campaigns and charity support.
Epixel Solution Pvt. Ltd. stepped into the industry long back in 2008 in Palakkad, India as one of the finest and best IT company in the locality. Until that period, the locality hasn't seen any IT harmony, and Epixel pinned their spot in maps.
Recently, a sudden downpour during the monsoon period of time hit Kerala massively. Several people have lost their life and mortgage, it was flooding everywhere and everyone was calling out for help. People alongside with officials join hands together and saved a life that worth a million.
"We all were a victim of such a horrifying act and we took an oath to do something from our side. And with a possible contribution from everyone, we managed to collect a good amount of money and provided the affected with it. Our team then united together and took the volunteering position in the camps. We have done something good, at least an effort to help, kudos to our team for this act and we can do such great things together." Says Mahesh, Sr. UI/UX Engineer & Camp co-coordinator, Epixel Solutions.
Epixel Solutions, a privately-held organization headquartered in Palakkad, expertized in web development, and services with consulting offices in USA, Hong Kong and Switzerland.

EDWARDSVILLE, Ill. – An Alton man pleaded guilty Friday to child pornography charges, the Madison County State's Attorney's Office said.
According to court documents, Bethalto police were called to Zion Lutheran Church on the evening of December 24, 2015, after several unauthorized cameras were found throughout the church. The cameras had been hidden in several locations, including the changing area in the church sacristy.
Over the course of their investigation, police discovered evidence that several individuals at the church had been recorded without their knowledge. These recordings were made between June and December 2015.
Police identified a suspect, 60-year-old David L. Von Bergen, and took him into custody.
Von Bergen pleaded guilty to production of child pornography. He was sentenced to 15 years in prison and ordered to pay $20,000 in restitution.
Von Bergen's son, David J. Von Bergen, was sentenced in January 2017 to 80 years in prison after admitting to making videos in which he committed sexual acts with two children under the age of 10.

Cheran's Notes: The marshmallows puff up IMENSLEY in the microwave, so use a container about 6 times their volume. The mixture cools VERY fast after mixing, so work quickly. Cut into squares while still somewhat warm; it is almost impossible to cut once it cools. "All in all, it's worth it. It tastes like th real thing, just a bit chewier. Next time, I will probably try it with marshmallow cremem to see if it makes it a little softer -- and work really, really really fast. :) " From: Molly McButter, posted on GEnie by Cheran Weinstein, MM by LInda Shogren -----

I had fun with this color blocked Froggie Beach Baby, from a gift from Whimsey Stamps The beach babe is colored in prismacolor pencils, and touched with nuvo crystal drops. The color blocks are created from three interlocking Spellbinder dies cut from paper in my stash.
I am going to do this one again with a different background and a sentiment that will read "Frogs get wet even when it rains." for a get well card.

WHAT A THRILLER! See Michael Jackson costume and Victorian freak show oddities sold in Essex
PUBLISHED: 15:23 14 February 2019
A Michael Jackson stage costume, a sperm whale penis and a pair of wing tips from a 747 all went under the hammer in Essex this week.
The Out of The Ordinary sale at Sworders of Stansted Mountfitchet on Tuesday certainly lived up to its name.
Buyers warmed to the unusual, whacky and occasionally downright strange mix of objects that collectively raised almost £300,000.
The Jackson costume - a jumpsuit, helmet, gloves and trainers worn during the 1992-93 'Dangerous' tour - sold to a buyer from Japan for £16,000. During his performance, the prince of pop had appeared on stage in this costume with a jetpack attached to his back before proceeding, with the aid of a stunt double, to fly out of the arena.
A private buyer bidding in the room spent £13,000 on a complete cave bear skeleton (Ursus spelaeus), the Ice Age (Pleistocene) mammal that died out about 27,000 years ago, and a further £20,000 on its 20th century cousin, a superb full-mount Canadian polar bear (Ursus maritimus).
According to a spokesperson from Sworders, taxidermy - once unfashionable and deemed politically incorrect - has undergone a collecting renaissance in the past decade.
"It appeals to both collectors and to interior designers looking to make bold interior statements. Taxidermy eccentricities are a particularly buoyant niche."
Original Victorian 'freak show' or anthropomorphic specimens are avidly sought - such as the late 19th century 'freak show' bulldog calf sold at £2800, or the Royal Acorn Dairy, a detailed diorama populated by two squirrels preparing food at the kitchen table and a hedgehog knocking at the front door, sold at £2000.
However, in terms shock value, little could compete with a late 19th century horsehair stuffed sperm whale penis - an impressive 1.67m long. Consigned to the auction house by a private collector, who had owned it for about 20 years, it sold just above estimate at £4,600.
Buyers also admired a series of five photographs taken by David Bailey backstage at the iconic Live Aid concert during the summer of 1985. Only three of each image were created for sale at auction later that year. The image of the late George Michael, who had signed it on the reverse with three kisses, was most popular at £4100 with Bob Geldof and Paula Yates selling at £1900.
Two of the most popular lots in the sale - both smashing modest estimates - were a pair of Cathay Pacific 747 aeroplane wing tips and Sorcières au Sabbat (the Witches' Sabbath), a series of 10 saucy French postcards depicting a group of dancing and cavorting naked young sorceresses. They took £6100 and £2100 respectively - both out of the ordinary prices.
The sale, the second held by Sworders, was curated by former Christie's and Bonhams specialist Mark Wilkinson.

Environmental Site Assessments in Cypress CA
We provide expert Phase I and Phase II environmental site assessments in Cypress CA
There are plenty of reasons to get environmental site assessments in Cypress CA, including getting permission for new construction on previously undeveloped land, protecting yourself from liability issues on a property you want to buy, or just learning more about a property you already own.

Elements of Environmental Site Assessments in Cypress CA
An environmental site assessment may include different tasks depending on what you are trying to accomplish with the assessment. Most assessments begin with a visual inspection and a study of historic materials regarding the property. This helps the inspector understand what hazards are likely to be on the property, and enables them to provide more targeted testing and evaluation services.

Triad Network Technologies keep company networks humming
These days, businesses rely on their computer networks — and computer networks rely on cabling systems.
That's where companies like Triad Network Technologies come in. The Victor firm provides cabling installation services for data, voice and video applications that keep businesses running smoothly. That means eliminating freeze-ups, drop-offs and slow connections.
"Any low-voltage applications, we do," said Triad vice president Frank Carusone. "We do everything but electrical."
The business that started in the basement of Carusone's home has grown to 27 employees and a spot on this year's Rochester Chamber Top 100 list, as one the fastest-growing privately owned companies in the region. Much of the growth in recent years has come through security offerings, as is the case with many online-related industries.
But unlike IT companies that patrol the Dark Web, Triad's offerings are in areas such as video surveillance and access-control systems — things like cameras and keycards. Triad also has gotten more involved with audio-visual options such as sound masking, or creating "white noise."
Carusone and Pete Sweltz founded Triad in 2001 with another partner, who no longer is involved. They had worked for another cabling company, but they decided to go for it on their own.
"We looked at each other and said, 'Why don't we control our own destiny?' " said Sweltz, the company president. "We shook hands and started Triad. It was very rough in the beginning … but we had confidence in our abilities."
Back in those early days, Sweltz and Carusone were doing it all, from sales to installation and everything in between. Gradually, Triad added technicians to give the founders more time to sell. Next came one salesperson, then another, and a general manager was added a few years ago.
Triad has added two employees each of the past five or six years, Sweltz said.
The work might involve new installations or upgrades to those already in place. Upgrades become necessary as more and more work devices transmit more and more complex "stuff." Carusone uses the comparison of a garden hose versus a firefighter's hose: More water flows through the latter, just as more data passes through an upgraded cable system.
One field that Sweltz emphasized was health care, with doctors commonly making rounds and sending images like X-rays via tablets. Those heavy-duty jobs tend to strain network systems.
"You're really pushing the bandwidth," Sweltz said. "We're seeing it more in health care and in data centers. What's really driving technology right now is everyone's trying to be more efficient. And when you're sending information that's 'large,' that requires the proper infrastructure in place."
Triad's "local presence" — boots on the ground — runs from Buffalo to Syracuse. The firm also does a lot of work nationally — more than half of its work — through affiliates set up as subcontractors.
New installations come with new companies or existing clients who have moved. As for how frequently upgrades are needed, Carusone said on average it could be every six years.
"It depends on how quickly technology moves," he said. "Some older networks still work, but might not be as fast or as reliable."
Some of the jobs don't take long, such as a doctor's office. Bigger jobs can take more than a year, as with an ongoing one in which Triad is updating all wireless access in buildings at Rochester Institute of Technology. Triad coordinates scheduling to minimize client down-time, working nights or weekends if necessary.
The growth in security-camera surveillance is an unfortunate reality in today's world. Schools, along with plenty of other workplaces, have been buying a lot of that equipment, Sweltz said.
"Most customers want or have the need for more security," he explained.
These camera systems are far more advanced than the ones used in banks of yesteryear that produced grainy-at-best images of bank robbery suspects.
"We've come a long way from that," Carusone said. A camera on the Triad building can zoom in and capture a sharp image of a car's license plate, he said, adding that the images are good enough quality to be used in court, if necessary.
The "data" end of the cabling business has been fairly steady, Sweltz said. Diversifying into areas like security has spurred Triad's recent growth. Along with adding two employees annually, the firm had four seasonal workers over the summer.
"Our vision, from the beginning, was to take care of our employees first, and they'll take care of the customers," Sweltz said. He and Carusone stress a "family oriented" workplace atmosphere, noting that both of their wives work there.
As long as businesses run through their computer networks — and there seems no end in sight for that — companies like Triad will be busy.

Mindfulness, or the process of bringing one's attention to experiences happening in the moment, aligns perfectly with travelling. By focussing on what we are experiencing we get more out of the travel experience.
Regular practitioners of mindfulness might consider travelling to a retreat as a great way to both develop their practice and experience a new destination, but if you're new to mindfulness, why not start with these simple tips:

Nothing takes us out of the moment as much as the ping of a phone notification or scrolling through our social media feed. Set yourself a time limit and don't look at your phone for that period.

Sit and watch the world go by
Watching people is a fascinating activity wherever you are and an easy way to make yourself stop and take in your immediate environment. Bring your focus to the taste of your coffee, the sensation of the chair, the smell of the cafe.
Make a walk a wander
All too often we're in a rush to get somewhere, a rush to get something done and a rush to plan the next step. Being away is a chance to put a stop to all that. Take a walk without a purpose and let chance lead you.
When things go wrong, breathe
Travelling is stressful and there will be times when your heart rate is pumping. Breathing in for three counts, holding your breath for four and breathing out for five is a quick way to regulate adrenalin and allow your mind to focus.

text: Jordan Belfort, billed as 'The Real Wolf of Wall Street,' spoke yesterday at an event marketed by Small Business BC. Photo: Wikimedia Commons. An NDP MLA is raising concerns about taxpayer resources being used to promote a Vancouver talk on ethical sales by a person convicted in the United States of money laundering and securities fraud. Jordan Belfort, billed as "The Real Wolf of Wall Street," spoke yesterday at the Vancouver Convention Centre, with tickets starting at $117. The event organizer Soho Business Group lists Small Business BC as a marketing partner, which got the attention of Stikine MLA Doug Donaldson. "Small Business BC is a registered non-profit society which lists the Ministry of Jobs, Tourism and Skills Training as a major funding partner," Donaldson wrote in an April 30 letter to Shirley Bond, the minister of jobs, tourism and skills training. "A portion of their board members are appointed by the Minister of Finance." Small Business BC's other major funder is the federal government's Western Economic Diversification Canada. Donaldson questioned the organization's advertising of the Belfort talk. "Mr. Belfort has repaid only about 10 [per cent] of more than $100 million he owes to a victim compensation fund since being convicted of money laundering and securities fraud in the U.S. in 2003," he wrote. B.C. ministry funding is helping Small Business BC deliver Belfort to a B.C. audience, he said. "Does the Minister believe it is a good use of taxpayer dollars to assist in sponsoring the promotion of an event for Mr. Belfort in BC?" Pump and dump The FBI shut down Belfort's Stratton Oakmont, described by Bloomberg BusinessWeek as a "penny stock boiler room" that employed upwards of 1,000 brokers in pump and dump schemes, in 1998. Belfort was sentenced to four years in prison, 22 months of which he served. Belfort was the subject of last year's movie The Wolf of Wall Street, starring Leonardo DiCaprio, which was nominated for five Academy Awards. He has reinvented himself as a business consultant making a living talking about what he's learned from his experiences. Bond referred questions to her staff Wednesday, who arranged an interview with Naomi Yamamoto, the minister of state responsible for tourism and small business. "I'm satisfied there is no government funding associated with this," Yamamoto said. "There's a reciprocal sort of marketing agreement that Small Business BC has with Soho. They share some events and market for each other, but there is no taxpayer money going to this." Asked whether the provincial government's core support for Small Business BC makes it possible for the society to enter such agreements, Yamamoto said, "That's not something that is a concern right now." She did, however, ask her staff to make sure Small Business BC informs her office of "any future marketing events that perhaps would raise concerns." "We don't want taxpayer money paying for somebody who has a reputation that will taint government," she said. "We shouldn't have taxpayers supporting people with questionable backgrounds." Sara Clark, the vice-president of marketing for Small Business BC, said the Belfort talk was one Soho put forward for promotion under its reciprocal agreement with Small Business BC, but that the organization has no direct relationship with the event itself. Promotion would have been by various means, including a posting on the organization's website and email to members. Donaldson said in an interview that government funding made Small Business BC promotion of the event possible. "If it wasn't for the fact Small Business BC's core business is funded by taxpayers, they wouldn't be in a position to make reciprocating agreements." Read more: BC Politics

Very nice course. Challenging and in great shape for early April. Greens and tees were overseeded and in great shape. Greens were very tough, lots of undulations and small. Pace of play was a little slow for a monday morning. You cover a ton of ground on this course so be prepared!
I played this course for free 2 months ago and still felt like I got ripped off. The greens had ZERO grass on them, all sand. BUT, I played yesterday and it was like a totally different course. Greens were green and rolled very nicely. Props to the greenskeeper. Don't know how they did it in such short time, but great job. Oh, and the holes are all very different. Great layout.
The course was in ok shape. The greens were in OK shape. I did not like the layout of the course compared to other golf communities. Golfers are required to cross several roads. So of these roads are 4 lanes and busy.
Decent layout, poor greensLayout has a good variety of holes. Fairways were in good shape.Greens were poor.

Hundreds of hard-line Buddhist monks and nationalists gathered at Myanmar's most sacred religious site on Thursday in a show of support for firebrand monk Wirathu, for whom a court has issued an arrest warrant on sedition charges after he made inflammatory comments against the civilian-led government and its leader Aung San Suu Kyi at nationalist rallies.
Notorious for his hate speech against Muslims, especially Myanmar's Rohingya minority, Wirathu faces charges under Section 124(a) of the country's Penal Code for "excit[ing] or attempt[ing] to excite disaffection towards the government," though police have yet to lay out the specific grounds for the warrant.
Media reports said Wirathu is wanted because he has criticized Aung San Suu Kyi for having married a foreigner — a British scholar who died in 1999 — and for her handling of the conflict with Rohingya Muslims in Rakhine state.
Some of the demonstrators who prayed for the monk at the Shwedagon Pagoda in Yangon said they did not know where Wirathu was and that they would continue protesting the issuance of his arrest warrant by a local court on Tuesday, although Wirathu himself had told local media by phone on Wednesday that he was in the commercial hub.
Police said Tuesday that the arrest warrant had been issued under Section 124(a). A day later they went to Masoyein Monastery in the central Myanmar town of Mandalay to apprehend Wirathu, but did not find him there.
"We gather today at the Shwedagon Pagoda to pray for Sayadaw U [honorific] Wirathu's physical and mental well-being and that he stays out of danger," said a nationalist monk named Aggi who participated in the demonstration. Sayadaw is the Buddhist title for senior monks or abbots of monasteries.
Monks from the disbanded Buddhist ultranationalist organization the Committee for the Protection of Nationality and Religion, known in Myanmar as Ma Ba Tha, told RFA's Myanmar Service that Wirathu was in Yangon, but that he didn't show up at the regional State Sangha Maha Nayaka (Mahana) office where was asked to appear on Thursday.
The Mahana is a government-appointed council that oversees and regulates the Buddhist clergy in Buddhist-majority Myanmar. In March 2017, its Mandalay office prohibited Wirathu from giving sermons for a year because of his hate speech and anti-Muslim rhetoric.
After Wirathu failed to appear for the meeting, the Ministry of Religious Affairs and Culture announced that the Mahana had suspended the summons it issued to warn the monk about his provocative behavior at a rally.
"I talked with the venerable monk [Wirathu] the other day for the last time," said ministry spokesman Aung San Win. "We lost connection with him after the Mahana suspended the plan. He usually doesn't stay at the monasteries. Instead, he stays at his patrons' homes."
"One thing I can say is that he will definitely show up," he added. "He won't run away."
A New York Times report quoted Wirathu as saying Wednesday that "I'm in Yangon. I am not hiding."
"They can come arrest me. I'm not afraid of prison," he said.
Possible public unrest
Myanmar author Chit Oo Nyo said that an arrest of Wirathu could prompt social discord in majority-Buddhist Myanmar.
"The home affairs and religious affairs ministries have taken the step of issuing a warrant for Wirathu's arrest," he told RFA's Myanmar Service. "It is assumed that they are being provoked to get involved in the situation."
"If Wirathu is arrested and sentenced to prison, people will be provoked even more, and it could lead to public unrest," he said. "Many people prefer to see him as a fugitive rather than in prison."
Under the charges, the once a prominent Ma Ba Tha figure could be sentenced to three years to life in prison, but under Myanmar law he would first have to be defrocked by Buddhist authorities, according to a report by the Associated Press.
RFA could not reach Wirathu or officials at the Ministry of Home Affairs for comment.
"Sayadaw told us that he is not afraid of going into a jail, but he is afraid of getting into darkness," said nationalist Win Ko Ko Lat who participated in the gathering at the Shwedagon Pagoda. "Some people might criticize what we are doing. U Wirathu had planned to join us today. It is not that difficult for police to arrest him."
San Min, an official at Myanmar's General Administration Department, which serves as the civil service for Myanmar's 14 state and regional governments and provides the administration for its districts and townships, filed a lawsuit against the monk on Tuesday afternoon at the Yangon Western District Court.
Myanmar attorney Aung Thein said that monks who make inflammatory comments on social media are likely trying to foment social unrest in the country. Wirathu was no exception in this regard, but his provocative remarks led to the termination of his Facebook account.
"There are many Buddhists who have made aggressive comments," he said. "They use derogatory language which is inappropriate for a Buddhist monk."
"I have concluded that there must be groups trying to instigate unrest in various forms," Aung Thein said.

Year 6 finished this week with outdoor P.E, playing rounders in 6L and kwik-cricket in 6J. All the children were able to have a go at fielding and batting to practice their skills.
Very energetic games left some feeling too tired to carry on!
But they all still managed to find a little energy for the cooling down activity.
Well done Year 6 for showing fantastic sportsmanship.
