AdvisorShares Weekly Market Review – Week Ending 1/27/2017
Highlights of the Prior Week
The New Black Swan?
Martin Kremenstein from Nuveen was quoted at the Inside ETFs Conference last week as saying “the black swan is a 4am tweet.” This of course refers specifically to President Trump’s proclivity for Tweeting and more broadly the volatility associated thus far with the new administration. Interestingly the political volatility has not been matched in the capital markets. Last week we noted the lack of volatility as exhibited by VIX at 12. Well if you liked VIX at 12, you’ll love it at 10 ½ which is where it closed on Friday. It seems that while social media is in a frenzy over political developments the market are quite calm.
The was reflected in very calm increases across the board for the broad domestic indexes. The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 1.33% and took the 20,000 level after just 42 days since taking its last big figure, the S&P 500 added 1.01%, the NASDAQ had the strongest week at 1.87% and the Russell 2000 was good doe 1.40%.
Earnings season is of course well underway and Bespoke Investment Group reports that current beat rate on the bottom line is running at 64% thus far which would be the second best quarter in the current decade, only Q2 2016 was better at this point.
Fourth quarter GDP printed on Friday at a lower than expected 1.9% (estimates were looking for 2.2%), down considerably from Q3’s 3.5%. Growth in the 2% range won’t excite too many people but is much better than the deflationary threat that existed a few years ago in the US but still persists in Japan. Its core CPI reported at -0.2% which was the tenth negative monthly print in a row. The JGB yield actually moved up slightly on the news to 0.08%. The dollar also strengthened slightly against the yen, moving to 115. Despite the small lift against the yen the dollar index, which is tracked on many websites as DXY, was down by the slightest of margins during the week perhaps due to the more than 1% gain that the Canadian dollar had against the greenback as well as a small gain for the Australian dollar (both the loonie and the Aussie have small weightings in the DXY Index).
The yield on the Ten-Year US Treasury Note went on a bit of a ride last week heading down to 2.40%, got as high as 2.55% on Thursday before rolling over slightly on the GDP data to close at 2.48%. Bespoke also noted that spreads between high yield debt and treasuries is narrowing toward 4% which expresses a willingness for investors to take risk for yield. When spreads get too narrow it can be interpreted as high yield being overvalued and likely to fall but of course spreads can widen out if treasury yields begin to head lower.
In the UK, GDP printed at 0.6% for the third quarter in a row and while that might not seem so hot, it was ahead of expectations and for now, Brexit continues to not be a deathblow for the UK economy. Not surprisingly, the UK gilt yield moved up to 1.47%. The German bund moved up to 0.46%, remember it went negative shortly after the Brexit vote, and the Swiss ten-year charges six basis points.
Gold took a small tumble of about 2% going below $1200 despite dollar weakness, perhaps in part because of the somewhat dovish economic data. West Texas Intermediate Crude traded in a narrow range, giving up a few cents to $53.20.
Bloomberg says Forget The Vintage Porsche, Everyone Wants An El Camino;
The Hagerty Group, which underwrites much of this vintage metal, said the 40- to 60-year old American models are now the most likely to sell “above condition-appropriate prices.” Translation: Why on Earth would anyone spend six figures on a Pontiac that smells like their father’s mustache oil? When it comes to buyers, though, that shade is falling on ears deafened by eight cylinders. The V-8, common back in the day, is a big part of the draw and perhaps helped by cheap gas prices. Meanwhile, smaller, lighter, more delicate machines hand-tuned in Germany and Italy sputtered on the auction block. Even Porsche, the paragon of a pure driver’s brand, has gone a little soft.
The Wall Street Journal says The Patriots Improved Their Defense By Trading Their Best Player;
As a star approaching some contract turbulence, (linebacker Jamie) Collins fit the operating model at Patriot Place: get something in return for a player that the team isn’t planning to extend. He was in the final year of his rookie contract and reportedly seeking a lucrative extension, something that the Patriots were unwilling to give him given the team’s salary-cap constraints. This week, the Browns gave Collins a 4-year, $50 million extension, with $26 million guaranteed.

As for the sectors of the S&P 500, five outperformed the broad benchmark – Materials, Technology, Financials, Industrials, and Discretionary. The remaining six – Healthcare, Staples, Utilities, Energy, Real Estate, and Telecom – each underperformed. The dispersion between the top-performing and bottom-performing sectors was roughly 5.18% for the week ending 1/27/17, with Materials outperforming all, and Telecom coming in last.

Banks seek alternatives as fees dive
The nosedive in fee revenues suffered by investment banks in the Middle East last year shows little sign of reversing this year, but bankers in the region are looking at mergers and acquisitions and the swaps market for a glimmer of hope.
No funding deals have been announced through the equity markets so far this year. Bond issuance in the region looks similarly bleak on the back of a 47% drop from $26.4bn in 2007 to $13.9bn last year, which netted debt bankers advisory fees of only $57m out of a total investment banking fees pot of $848m, according to data from Dealogic.
Hussein Hassan, head of Islamic finance at Deutsche Bank UAE in Dubai, said: “Anything other than a safe product is going to be suffering, because of the lack of liquidity in the market. Money is not coming in from normal sources, and central bank liquidity is generally only provided for use within the relevant country.”
As in the wider financial markets, debt desks at banks have had to focus on restructuring debt and advisory roles. In January, Kuwaiti investment company Investment Dar mandated Credit Suisse to advise it on strategic matters.
BNP Paribas expects the nascent Islamic swaps market to take on a bigger role. It has been held back by the lack of a master agreement from the International Swaps and Derivatives Association for sharia swaps. Although a draft proposal has been circulating among marketmakers for several months, it has not been finalized.
Many banks already use these contracts for clients, but have developed their own documents. For a wider and more liquid market to develop some form of standardization is necessary.
Declining Islamic sukuk bond issuance has altered how issuers attempt to come to market, with many complicated products falling by the wayside.
However, Jacques Tripon, head of Islamic banking at BNP Paribas in Dubai, said: “The drop-off in issuance is natural because Islamic banking is still developing. While Islamic banking is relatively new, it is progressing in the right direction and is one of our most important business lines due to its potential and growth.
“The lack of liquidity in the sukuk market discouraged conventional investors to invest further, but the industry is fully aware of this issue and working on remedies.”
Local institutions are re-evaluating the risks associated with foreign bank issues or capital-protected structured products after losses, such as those suffered as a result of the collapse of Lehman Brothers last year.
Hassan said: “Things like structured products require a much more senior sign-off than may have been the case before the crisis. That in itself presents its own problems in terms of timeline to market.”
The league tables for individual banks reflect the longer gestation periods of deals, with only $33m separating the top and bottom banks – $58m for HSBC against $25m for Bank of America Merrill Lynch – according to Dealogic research collating all investment banking fees generated in the region.
As a result of this, and triggered by the declining economic outlook caused by a falling oil price, the region is seeing a change in both strategy and type of activity. This has resulted in a lack of liquidity that has also affected the property secularization market, which has been crucial to capital market activity in the United Arab Emirates, historically the most important country in the region.
Last year, the UAE was responsible for 66% of debt capital market issuance and 54% of all syndicated loans in the Middle East. As late as November last year, Islamic banks, such as Kuwait’s Rasameel, were buying licences to operate in Dubai, focusing on this sector.
But the rapid fall in house prices has stalled property securitisations. For example, a $1.2bn property securitisation by property giant Nakheel was finalized in mid-January, but the consortium of four banks led by JP Morgan was forced to keep much of the deal on its books as investor interest waned.
The result is that investment banking activity in the Middle East, and the Gulf in particular, will be concentrated in the mergers and acquisitions sector, according to local market participants.
Despite a 41% slump in mergers and acquisitions in the Middle East and North Africa in the 12 months to February 10, there was a late surge in deals, according to Dealogic data compiled for Financial News. The number of announced deals rose to 24 in January from 19 in December, although deal values have suffered as a result of the crisis.
The three biggest deals announced were the $653m acquisition of Gulf Bank KSC by Kuwait Investment Authority, the $275m hotels deal in Qatar by Qatar National Hotels, and the $230m acquisition of Bahrain’s third mobile phone licence by Saudi Telecom.
Deteriorating profitability will continue to depress asset prices during the first half of this year, which by the second half will present attractive acquisition opportunities for investors with cash reserves, high risk tolerance and a long-term investment horizon, according to a report by economists at Islamic investment bank Gulf Finance House.
GFH expects leading private equity firms to be eyeing deals in telecoms, healthcare, pharmaceuticals and education.
The bank is also planning to make acquisitions this year, according to deputy chief executive Mehran Jamsheer.
In a statement released by GFH in response to its downgrading by Standard & Poor’s from stable to negative in January, Jamsheer said: “In the year ahead we anticipate an opportunistic stance to capitalize on undervalued assets throughout the region.”
Hassan of Deutsche Bank added: “One area that has potential is the private equity sector, particularly in defensive corporates in the health and technology sectors. Companies with a blue-chip track record will continue to do business and access finance in the region.”

I would go as far as to say that you shouldn't be in a relationship under these conditions. I loved the way Sour Girl and Neon put it. What's really important here: that someone who isn't trust worthy is allowed his privacy or that a party in a committed relationship feels safe, loved and important enough to be honest about what she has done and how she feels without the relationship ending?
Sour Girl and I think exactly alike. It's eerie.

Lethbridge, AB – The Lethbridge Hurricanes welcomed the Red Deer Rebels at the ENMAX Centre on Tuesday night after a massive trade Tuesday morning and the ‘Canes were able to earn a 5-4 shootout victory.
Six new players made their Hurricanes debut on Tuesday as acquired players Logan Flodell, Logan Barlage, Matthew Stanley, Owen Blocker and Brad Morrison suited up for the first time while affiliate player Jacob Boucher made his Western Hockey League debut in the game.
It was early returns as Morrison scored twice in the first period as the Hurricanes picked up a 2-1 lead after twenty minutes of play. Morrison potted his first as a ‘Cane 6:26 into the game on the power play to make it 1-0; Dylan Cozens and Jordy Bellerive earned the assists. For Bellerive, he extended his point scoring streak to eight games. Red Deer equalized at the 13:39 mark as Alexander Alexeyev scored his fifth of the season beating Flodell to make it 1-1. Morrison struck again on the power play for his second of the period, again on the power play, as he buried a Taylor Ross rebound; Bellerive added the second assist. ‘Canes outshot the Rebels 15-9 in the first period.
The Hurricanes built on their lead early in the second period as Brendan Stafford scored his first career goal just 3:17 into the period banging it by Rebels’ goalie Ethan Anders to make it 3-1 Lethbridge; Egor Zudilov and Igor Merezhko earned the assists. Red Deer pulled within one with a power play goal as Reese Johnson tapped one home to make it 3-2. Just 1:36 later, Johnson scored again on a separate power play to make it a 3-3 game. Rebels pulled ahead when Mason McCarty buried his team-leading 20th of the season to give Red Deer a 4-3 advantage. The lead lasted just over five minutes as Cozens buried his 12th of the season on a centering pass by Taylor Ross to make it 4-4; Brady Pouteau earned the second helper. ‘Canes were outshot 14-12 in the second period.
Red Deer replaced Anders with Riley Lamb to start the third period and was terrific stopping all ten shots he faced in the period. The Rebels directed 17 shots on Flodell who turned them all aside as neither team was able to take the lead in the third period. The game went to overtime and in the three-on-three extra session the ‘Canes outshot the Rebels 4-2 with the best chance being a Morrison breakaway but no-one was able to end the game as it went to a shootout.
In the shootout, Morrison and Kristian Reichel scored thru three shooters. In the sixth round, Barlage was able to outwait Lamb and roof it home for the eventual game-winning goal as the ‘Canes earned a 5-4 shootout win.
The Hurricanes outshot the Rebels 41-33 in the hockey game. The ‘Canes were 2/2 on the power play while the Rebels were 2/4 with the extra man.
Three stars of the game were:
1) ‘Canes – #9 Brad Morrison (2 goals)
2) Rebels – #4 Alexander Alexeyev (1 goal, 2 assists)
3) ‘Canes – #24 Dylan Cozens (1 goal, 1 assist)
The win for the Hurricanes improves their record to 18-19-3-0 on the season as they snap a two game losing streak. The ‘Canes are now 12-8-2-0 at the ENMAX Centre this season.
The Hurricanes return to action on Friday as they travel to Red Deer to face the Rebels in the back-half of the home-and-home set before welcoming the Kootenay Ice to the ENMAX Centre on Saturday. Tickets for the game on Saturday can be purchased online, by calling 403-329-SEAT (7328) or by visiting the ENMAX Centre Ticket Centre.

The files in this series contains most of the manuscripts, articles, chapters of books, and books written by Professor Shaw (often in conjunction with his wife, Maria, and sometimes with other authors), and two of his book reviews. The earliest articles document the results of his work at Kenchreai, where he toiled under the supervision of Robert Scranton, beginning in 1963 and which resulted (with Scranton and others) in his first book, Kenchreai, Volume I, The Town and The Harbour (1978). Professor Shaw’s subsequent introduction by Nicholas Platon to Crete and, especially to Kommos, and his doctoral research on port establishments in the Mediterranean, set the stage for much of his future work and writings. The excavations at Kommos began 1976 and, over thirty years, has resulted in six major studies published by Princeton University Press. Popularly dubbed Kommos I to V, they appeared in 1995-1996, 1990, 1992, 2000, and 2006 respectively. The Shaws edited volumes I, parts 1 and 2, IV and V. Volumes II and III were edited by others and are only tangentially represented in this series. The Shaws also edited another book on Kommos, A Great Minoan Triangle in Southcentral Crete: Kommos, Hagia Triadha, Phaistos (1985). Professor Shaw also wrote Kommos: A Minoan harbor town and Greek sanctuary in Crete (2006), and edited, with Aleydis Van de Moortel, Peter M. Day, and Vassilis Kilikoglou, A LM IA ceramic kiln in south-central Crete: function and pottery production (2001).
These volumes and numerous articles on Kommos are represented in this series, but most of the periodic reports on excavations there are not included. The remaining articles document the results of research ranging from Minoan palaces and tripartite shrines, to archaeological sites at Akrotiri and Thera, Cretan temples, and Phoenicians in southern Crete.
The files contain any combination of correspondence, notes, drafts, drawings and photographs. The few photographs have been left with the textual materials with which they are associated, and the arrangement of the files is chronological, by date of publication.

The Tory Government the BBC and the Pensioners
The BBC licence fee was frozen throughout the period of austerity following the worldwide financial meltdown.
In 2015, the Corporation claimed to be in deep financial trouble and pleaded to be allowed to increase the licence fee for all subscribers.
The corporation, in 2015, negotiated a deal, with the Tory government permitting increases to the annual compulsory subscription charge to the UK taxpayers.
The revised contract between government and the BBC contained a rider that the corporation would absorb the cost of free licence provision for pensioners over the age of 75, until after the General Election, (June 2020).
The cost of providing free licence fees for pensioners over the age of 75 was previously charged to “Welfare” expenditure and Chancellor Osborne had imposed a £12 billion expenditure ceiling on the department.
The BBC agreed to contain the (time limited) estimated £700 million annual cost, anticipating in return, it would be given free rein over setting the level of the annual licence fee.
Their projection was that a fee of around £200 per annum would need to be charged to the taxpayers (after June 2020) offsetting the cost of maintaining free licences for pensioners over the age of 75.
Noteworthy is the introduction of the 2011, 5 year fixed term Parliament Act, retaining the Tory Party, in government, from 2015 until until May 2020, thereby setting the date of any change to June 2020.
Cameron and Osborne screwed the deal by resigning in 2016, handing the reins of power to Theresa May who called for a snap General Election in that same year. The Tory Party was returned to power, with the dubious support of the Ulster Democratic Unionist Party.
The next General Election is scheduled for May 2022 and it was proposed that the concluding the commitment the Tory Government and the BBC entered into in 2015, should be deferred until after May 2022.
But Jeremy Wright, the current Tory Party, Culture Secretary refused to become involved stating: “The decision is not for the government to make any longer. It is for the BBC to make”.
The fiasco has been a well planned orchestration of events by the Tory Party, transferring the momentum of change away from government to the taxpayers, who will need to decide if they are content to subsidize, (through their annual subscription), the continuance of free licences to pensioners over the age of 75. Likely annual fee in excess of £200.
Meantime BBC management are beavering away preparing the Corporation for a backlash from the taxpayers, who, it is expected will demand a major restructuring of the Corporation meeting the challenges of Netflix, Amazon Prime, etc.

Thanks. I’ll update the post


The University of the Sciences baseball team had eight hits in each of their two games against Nyack College on Saturday but continue to struggle to put runs on the scoreboard as the Warriors completed a two game sweep, 6-3 and 2-0 at Richie Ashburn Field in Philadelphia.
The two losses extend Sciences losing streak to 15 games and drop the team's record to 1-15 overall and 0-4 in Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference games. Nyack improves to 7-8 overall and 2-0 in league play.
In the opener, Mark Gervasi (Central HS/Philadelphia, Pa.) had three hits of the Devils eight hits in the game and drove in two of Sciences three runs. Matt Miniconzi (Highand HS/Blackwood, N.J.) added a hit, a walk and an RBI. C.J. Hertz (Sterling HS/Magnolia, N.J.) struck out seven in six innings pitched with allowing all six runs to take the loss and fall to 0-3 on the season.
Nyack jumped out to a 6-0 lead with a single run in the first, three more in the third and two more in the sixth. In the bottom of the sixth, the Devils had a chance to do some damage as Gervasi singled, Miniconzi drew a walk and Connor Lennox (Avon Grove HS/Landenberg, Pa.) reached on a fielder's choice to load the bases with nobody out. However the Devils next three batters, Patrick Hiester (Gloucester Catholic HS/Sewell, N.J.), T.J. Maiorino (Bishop Eustace HS/Mt. Laurel, N.J.) and Trevor Datz (Pitman HS/Mullica Hill, N.J.) all took called third strikes as the Devils left the bases loaded to end the inning.
Mike Pollastrelli (Williamstown HS/Williamstown, N.J.) singled to open the bottom of the seventh inning and advanced to third on Derek DeMaria's (Gloucester Catholic HS/Bellmawr, N.J) one-out single down the left field line. Gervasi then doubled to right centerfield to plate Pollastrelli with the Devils first run. A Miniconzi sacrifice fly scored DeMaria to make the score 6-2.
Sciences got their last run in the ninth inning as Jay Andrews (Hunter Sports HS/Springfield NSW Australia) delivered a one-out single, stole second, advanced to third on a wild pitch and scored on Gervasi's single through the right side. Miniconzi then reached on an error, bringing the tying run to the plate. Lennox, however lined out to second base to end the game, leaving two more runners stranded on the base paths.
A total of 11 runners were left on base by the Devils in the first game. giving them a total of 34 left on the bases in their first three conference games, most in the CACC.
The Devils scattered eight hits in the second game of the twinbill, but were unable to push any runs across the board as the Warriors scored twice early in the game and hung on for a 2-0 win.
Pollastrelli had two of the Devils eight hits. Pablo Matos (Island Coast HS/Cape Coral, Fla.) turned in a solid outing, striking out seven in seven innings pitched while giving up both Nyack runs to take the loss and fall to 1-4 on the season.
Phil Erwin had three hits for the Warriors, all singles and drove in both Nyack runs with a single up the middle in the second inning. Craig Jacobs picked up a complete game win, striking out five and walking none.
The Devils put two runners on in the second and third innings only to hit into an inning ending double play each time. The Devils did not put another runner on base until Andrews singled in the sixth. Andrews was left stranded and one inning later the Devils hit themselves out of an inning with another inning-ending double play. A single in the eighth and again in the ninth innings were all the base runners Sciences could muster as the game came to its conclusion.

With more than 75 active lawsuits involving the freedom to marry currently at the state and federal levels, exploring the state of marriage equality in the United States can quickly become a confusing, headache-inducing endeavor. Here are the answers to some questions you might have about what we can expect next in the marriage-equality movement.
Why all the court cases?
Currently, 19 states and the District of Columbia allow same-sex marriage. In the past year, there has been an explosion of court cases dealing with marriage equality in states all throughout the country, yet the majority of the jurisdictions where it’s legal garnered the freedom to marry through state legislation or popular vote, not litigation.
In 28 out of the remaining 31 states that do not have marriage equality, there are constitutional amendments in place that exclude same-sex couples from getting married, so state legislatures cannot simply change marriage law. In the remaining three states — Wyoming, Indiana and West Virginia — it is highly unlikely that their state legislatures would pass a bill allowing marriage equality. Thus, there has been an enormous boom of marriage-equality lawsuits all throughout the country, mainly because it’s the only way to legalize same-sex marriage in their respective states, or legislation and ballot initiatives are not viable options due to the political climate.
What court cases are up next?
Aug. 6: The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit held oral arguments for six different marriage-equality cases. The court has jurisdiction over Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio and Tennessee. In each of these states, federal judges have ruled in favor of marriage for same-sex couples. One or more of these cases could ultimately go before the United States Supreme Court.
Aug. 26: Oral arguments for two separate cases from Indiana and Wisconsin will be heard by the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals, which covers those two states and Illinois.
Sept. 8: Oral arguments will be heard by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, which covers Alaska, Arizona, California, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon and Washington. The two specific cases — Sevcik v. Sandoval and Latta v. Otter — come from Nevada and Idaho, respectively. A ruling in favor of marriage equality out of one of the states would be binding to each of the states within the circuit.
When might a U.S. Supreme Court case happen?
James Esseks, director of the LGBT Project at the American Civil Liberties Union, told PGN he’s optimistic about the U.S. Supreme Court hearing a marriage-equality case by June. He said the nation’s top court could hear one of the cases from Utah, Oklahoma or Virginia.
“These particular cases all say that there is a fundamental right to marry, which includes same-sex couples,” Esseks said. “The next step for those three cases is that the losers are going to ask the Supreme Court to review the ruling — I would guess very soon. I think the chances that the U.S. Supreme Court takes that decision potentially by next June is very high because this is an issue of serious importance for the country.”
Asked why a case hasn’t been taken to the Supreme Court yet, Esseks said SCOTUS waits for more cases from the lower courts, which is why marriage-equality wins at the various circuit courts of appeals are so important.
“The Supreme Court is typically cautious and wants there to be a rough consensus among the lower courts before hearing any cases,” Esseks said. “The Supreme Court may wait a little bit to see what other decisions come out; they’re going to have a menu of at least three cases, maybe even up to six, to choose from, and then it will at least choose [whether or not] to grant review. We may know that early in the fall, or we may know that in December or January.”
How was the PA decision different?
In Pennsylvania, Republican Gov. Tom Corbett decided not to appeal the U.S. District Court decision in favor of marriage equality, saving the state from an appeal and potential delay of the ruling’s implementation.
Esseks hopes to see the same from other Republican governors in the future.
“It was an incredible act of leadership on Corbett’s part to say, ‘I’m not going to waste any time on this any more,’” Esseks said. “I hope that other Republican governors will follow his lead by looking around and saying, ‘Look, we can see where this issue is going with the courts, with the people at large and this is an issue we shouldn’t be fighting over.’”

This week while working on feedback for usable items, I began to think about the community simulation aspect of the game.
The is the part of the game that excites me the most. The social simulation that I hope will make the game unique. In many ways the whole game is a backdrop to making the social simulation a richer experience. The idea is very much to build an immersive world building game, but with a focus on the community aspects.
What this means, is that I get to work on some pretty thorny AI issues, revolving around making really believable characters. Aspects of emotional modelling and procedural movement aside, the thing that interests me is that there really aren't that many games that are exploring this "playing amongst them" style of AI. Usually AI characters are relegated to the role of tokens to be played with. You hardly ever feel anything for them because they are the means to an end. Often they are just cannon fodder to help draw attention away from the player. But my intention is that I'll create an AI simulation that is deep enough to allow longer term bonds to form. Obviously this is a big task and it may well not work out, but I think its the only way to prove to myself that it is actually possible. I imagine in my head a new type of gameplay experience, but I can't know until it exists if that really is possible.
But I hit a snag a few days ago when I was thinking about how the community might work. The problem is that I've only ever actually felt part of one community outside of my work. That was back in 2004 when the "indie" game development thing was just getting started and I was involved with the V12 engine (garagegames had just started talking about it). I went over to the US (I live in the UK) for the first indie games con and had a great few days talking to fellow indies about our plans. It was perhaps the only time I've felt part of a real community movement. The feeling I had at that event was that my peers were in the same boat as me, offering their help and accepting mine. That felt very much like a "community" I wanted to be in.
But ever since that time, I've felt that somehow things have been missing. In physical and virtual life, that sense of mutual support just hasn't shown itself to the same extent. Which is a real problem if I'm trying to recreate that feeling in a virtual world.
So I'm pondering what makes us feel part of a community. What makes us care for the group as much as for ourselves. What allows us to feel good about the success of our peers etc. Hopefully I'll figure it out, but its hanging like a fog over the excitement I have for getting to work on the AI.
Anyway, no news without video right? This week its pretty short and sweet. I've been trying to figure out the right way to give feedback on available interactions. This video shows part of that work. I've actually done a bunch more prototypes since I made the video, but I'm still not satisfied. This version was the "AAA highlight" shader I wrote. You can see me trying out the "always on" version and a version that only highlights when you look directly at the object.
I hope to show the final version next week. I want to get a few more interactive items in the game so you can see how the different styles of interactivity will work.
Til next time.

Heat oven to 400. Season the chicken aggressively with salt and pepper. Heat the oil and 1 tablespoon of the butter in a large, heavy, oven-safe sauté pan or Dutch oven set over high flame, until the butter is foaming. Sear the chicken in batches, skin-side down, until it is golden and crisp, approximately 5 to 7 minutes. Then turn the chicken over, and repeat on the other side, approximately 5 to 7 minutes. Remove chicken to a plate to rest.
Pour off all but 3 tablespoons of the accumulated fat in the pot. Return the pot to the stove, over medium heat, and add the onion. Cook, stirring frequently with a spoon to scrape off any browned bits of chicken skin, until the onion has softened and gone translucent, approximately 5 minutes. Add the garlic, and stir again, cooking it until it has softened, approximately 3 to 4 minutes. Add the paprika and the flour, and stir well to combine, then cook until the mixture is fragrant and the taste of the flour has been cooked out, approximately 4 to 5 minutes.
Add tomatoes and broth, whisk until smooth and then nestle the chicken back in the pan, skin-side up. Slide the pan or pot into the oven, and cook until the chicken has cooked through and the sauce has thickened slightly, approximately 25 to 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, set a large pot of heavily salted water to boil over high heat. Cook noodles in the water until they are almost completely tender, approximately 7 to 8 minutes. Drain the noodles, and toss them in a bowl with the remaining butter, then toss again to coat.
Place the chicken on top of the noodles, then add the sour cream to the sauce, stir to combine and ladle it over the whole.

Nurse managers are responsible for creating professional nursing practice environments and oversight of patient outcomes. While nurse managers are critical to organizational success, new managers often assume their positions with little preparation for the role; often developing leadership and management competence through experience. Recommendations requiring graduate education for nurse managers have been made but education requirements for nurse managers vary by organization. In an era of value-based purchasing, nurse manager competence is essential to organizational financial performance. This presentation will present findings from a national sample of 666 nurse managers working in 53 US hospitals to understand the relationships among role development, competence, and patient outcomes. Nurse managers completed an electronic survey administered by Press Ganey. Their survey data were matched with their corresponding National Database of Nursing Quality Indicators™ (NDNQI) patient care unit data.
Learn how to create a better professional environment for patient outcomes. Discuss ideas and techniques to properly prepare for the nurse manager role. Understand the relationships among role development, competence, and patient outcomes.

A groundbreaking study on humour production ability was conducted in 2019 by researchers from Aberystwyth University and the University of North Carolina. It looked into the question that everyone was dying for an answer- which gender is funnier? A meta-analysis of 28 studies, which involved 5000 people, 67% of them being female, revealed astounding results- 63% of men were funnier than the average women.
Sadly, this is not a research parody or fabricated results. It is only proof that even in the scientific world, there is existing research that just seems unnecessary. This article will consider the stereotype of “women aren’t funny” and will reveal the implications of this mindset.
Underrepresentation in the stand-up comedy industry
Unfortunately, comedy is another sector of the entertainment industry in which women are significantly underrepresented. While sources differ, in 2018 it was estimated that the comedic industry is made up of 75% of men and 25% of women. This is problematic for women who want to try stand-up comedy, as it is harder to see any of their popular counterparts. In fact, this is only the first piece of the puzzle. When the Ranker community ranked the funniest comedians of all time, the first nineteen were men and in the top 50 only 3 women appeared, showing how the audience is way more exposed to male stand-up comedy. Not only that, but it also shows that the “women aren’t funny” stereotype remains present, and such rankings only reinforce it.

Men usually are assumed to be funny and have to prove that they are not until they get dismissed, while women have to win the audience and prove that she is funny.
Some comedians and other scholars have theorized the causes of such a phenomenon. Comedian Kim Wayans has explained that men usually are assumed to be funny and have to prove that they are not until they get dismissed, while women have to win the audience and prove that she is funny. Besides, this stereotype can be linked to the traditional gender roles on two levels. Firstly, the man is deemed as the “initiator” of humour, while women are the “responders”, implying that comedy is not suitable for women. Secondly, since stand-up comedy demands active engagement with the audience and domination of the stage, men who are seen as the aggressors seem to fit these criteria well, while such behaviour is not expected from women. However, times are changing for the better with more and more females getting roles in the industry, and overall diversification is starting to unfold. But how do women cope and solidify themselves in the comedy industry?
Self-deprecatory humour: self-destruction or a critical part in stand-up?
Self-deprecatory humour can be considered as making jokes about ourselves, disparaging the cultural values that we share, and usually serves as a mechanism to reverse the impact of the insult. Notably, both men and women in the industry have utilized this form of expression; yet, women’s self-deprecation has historically been disproportionately the object of male humour. Nonetheless, there are two perspectives on the effectiveness of self-deprecation: it either serves as emancipation from gender norms, or a complete reinforcement of them.
For example, Gina Barreca, a famous academic and a humorist argues that self-deprecatory jokes only make the patriarchal man a friend, because he also finds the jokes funny. The author solidifies the view that self-deprecatory jokes only serve as a reinforcement of stereotypes being a true demerit to women’s emancipation in social systems. However, some critics argue that this might be an oversimplification. Research by Joanne Gilbert contends the aforementioned view and notes that such a form of humour only ridicules the nonsensical narratives about females and can successfully challenge the gender norms surrounding the body.
The implications of self-deprecation
The elephant in the room regarding such a question is the audience. Critics argue that self-deprecation can be a function of reassurance. For example, if a woman shares an experience about something that is considered taboo, some of the audience would identify themselves with it and understand that they are not alone in solving their inner conflicts. Despite this, it could alienate the audience completely from the programme. The use of self-deprecation could make the audience feel uncomfortable, as by saying that they are not okay with themselves, part of the audience would bring along the same message.
It is clear that so far self-deprecatory humour has not made any change, and the industry itself needs to change.
Essentially, this form of humour is almost always used to dismantle the hierarchies and the structural norms of society; nonetheless, it remains questionable whether the use of self-deprecation is necessary and effective. Considering the fact that a BBC study found that 75% of female stand-up comedians have experienced sexual harassment at work and 25% of them molested by a fellow comedian, it is clear that so far self-deprecatory humour has not made any change, and the industry itself needs to change. Women are still seen as sexual objects and treated horribly not only in terms of working experience, but in getting a fair share of opportunities as well, given that only 16% of comedy screenwriters are female. In sum, such appalling statistics may prove the counterproductiveness of self-deprecation in terms of its ability to challenge the patriarchal realm.
Women have been fighting the narrative of being “not funny” for ages; yet, gender inequality in the comedy industry remains. This has led to fewer female comedians being commercially successful; consequently, discouraging aspiring female comedians from indulging themselves in the art of comedy. However, as the 21st century progresses, social structures and gender norms are continuously challenged, which leaves hope for change in the entertainment industry.

Organic honey. is the same honey produced by bees, but from nectar and honeydew from organic crops and fields. In addition, it must be certified by an organic certifying body, the CAEE. A way to take care of yourself and the planet!
Best selection of organic honeys of Spanish beekeepers committed to the care of the environment.
Raw organic honey
Our variety of organic and raw honeys in Madrid
Properties of ecological honeys
Price of organic honey
Where can I buy organic honey?
Summary: Organic honey is the highest quality honey that does not contain any traces of agrochemicals. Therefore, it is a much purer and higher quality honey. This selection of raw honeys is also available in our shop in Las rozas de Madrid.
Related articles: We can achieve 100% organic honey. Raw unpasteurised honey.
1. Organic products
Consuming organic products and following this way of life does not only lead us to follow a balanced and healthy diet, but also to the consumption of organic products free of chemical residues. We also have to take into account that they are of the highest quality and freshness.
On the other hand, it is true that in the short term, good organic food is much more expensive. On the other hand, from a nutritional point of view, we should study very carefully what we eat. In the long term, good nutrition is essential to keep our health strong.
Finally, we also have to take into account other factors that impact on our health. For example, our lifestyle, relationships, friendships and stress.

2. Raw organic honey
Secondly, here you will find a fantastic selection of top quality organic honeys. Honeys from Spanish beekeepers committed to quality and care for the environment. Therefore, do not miss this fantastic selection of the best organic honeys in Spain.
a) Why buy organic honey?
Honey is one of the products we can buy that may contain traces of agrochemicals. For this reason, we should always consume organic honey.
First of all, organic honey is free of any chemical and antibiotic products that could be found in small traces in conventional honeys. Also, organic honeys undergo more rigorous controls by official certification bodies, conforming to national and European regulations.
More important than whether the honey is organic or not, is that the honey is of high quality and unpasteurised, i.e. we must buy raw honey from the year. Consequently, in addition to being organic, we must also make sure that the honey has not been pasteurised or mixed with other substitutes.
In summary, we can say that it is very important to ensure that the honey is organic, but that it is well preserved and as natural as possible.
Picture 2: Box with organic and non-organic honeys
b) Difference between conventional and organic raw honey
The differences between organic and conventional raw honey are analysed from three points of view: taste and aroma, quality and control.
From the point of view of taste and aroma, the differences between organic and conventional honey are non-existent. The fact that it is organic has nothing to do with the aroma or flavour.
From the point of view of quality, if the two honeys come from serious beekeepers who do not manipulate it, the quality of an organic honey and a conventional honey would be the same.
From a control point of view, organic honey beats conventional honey. Organic honey undergoes much more rigorous controls by the state organism. Organic hives are visited and inspected at short notice and the honey batches are analysed very carefully.
c) Our varieties of organic honey
We currently have a wide variety of organic honeys. Among them, we can find the following: Orange blossom, heather, lavender, lavender, strawberry tree, thousand flowers, rosemary and thyme.
In addition to these, we are gradually incorporating others. However, if we do not have them on the website, you can contact us to see if we have them in the physical shop. And if we don’t have them, we can look for them in our suppliers.
d) Gift of nature
In addition, honey, as a product that is obtained without harming any living being, is a true gift that nature gives us.
e) Support for the rural environment
Furthermore, all our beekeepers from whom we buy organic honey create employment and wealth in rural areas.
3. Our variety of organic and raw honeys in Madrid
All our honeys that we offer in our business have been obtained by small beekeepers from Spain and Europe. We have chosen all our beekeepers because they are great lovers of nature and beekeeping.
We can assure this, since we have visited all the beekeepers. We can therefore ensure the quality of our honey. However, organic honey is subject to higher and more stringent quality controls.
In conventional honeys we have a much wider range. However, in organic honey we can offer you the following beekeepers:
This beekeeper is located in the province of Madrid. He has at his disposal honey from heather, cantueso, chestnut, eucalyptus arbutus, multifloral, oak, rosemary and thyme.
Antonio Simón Honey Awards:
Antonio Simón’s honey is also one of the most awarded at a national level. Among the most important awards, we can highlight:
Winner of the first prize for dark honey in 2018. Navacerrada Town Hall
Winner of the first prize for dark honey in 2018. Council of Navacerrada
Winner of the XVII honey of Madrid. Winner of the first prize for dark honey.
These are some of the prizes he has won in recent years.
Corporate video of Antonio Simón
Beekeeper located in the province of Cadiz and has placed all its bees in the Natural Park of Sierra de Grazalema and in the Natural Park of Alcornocales. He offers us the honeys of orange blossom, heather, strawberry tree, oak and thyme.
Finally, if you are an ecological beekeeper and can offer us something different and of quality, please contact us to add your honeys.
Rancho Cortesano Honey Awards and Stamps
Ranch Cortesano honey has the following quality seals:
Natural Park Mark
It is also a winner of prestigious grand prizes, such as:
First prize for organic holm oak honey in the “2017 Expomiel Competition”.
Next we show you a video about this cooperative
4. Properties of ecological honeys
The properties of organic honeys will be the same as conventional honeys. However, traces of insecticides and other agrochemicals should be non-existent.
Also, when we talk about properties, we are talking about a popular wisdom and demonstrated by the experience of generations. Because the properties of a product can only be demonstrated by a pharmaceutical company, and honey is not a medicine.
Honey is a natural product that due to its characteristics of its composition and its components, will provide our health a series of benefits. Benefits that have today are widely used when people have throat infections and other discomforts.
Also, people who know this product also use this fantastic natural product in the making of creams. Like pharmaceutical companies promoting their products for their content of honey, propolis and royal jelly.
5. Price of organic honey
Organic honey usually has a slightly higher price than conventional honey, because the costs of production, care are higher. Also, by not using chemicals, parasites and diseases can get out of control. For this reason, production losses can be greater than in conventional honey.
6. Where can I buy organic honey?
Organic honey is becoming easier to find. Another thing is that it is of quality. Among the places you can find it, we have the following:
Specialized honey shops: Specialized shops such as Cortijuelo San Benito will always find quality organic honey.
Big supermarkets Lidl, Aldi, Mercadona, Carrefour, El Corte Ingles. In these large supermarkets they always have organic honeys, but with dubious and pasteurised origins.
Gourmet shops: A gourmet shop should never be without organic honey. Even if they don’t have a great variety of honeys, some of them should.
“For further information, please do not hesitate to contact us. Consequently, we are happy to help you”.
