  • Reddit and Robinhood Vs. Investing for the Long Run
    ? Investment Insights Reddit and Robinhood vs. Investing for the Long Run Morningstar Investment Management Key Takeaways February 2021 × The recent meteoric rise and spectacular fall of stocks on Reddit and Robinhood should not present major risks to most investors, we believe, but this market behaviour is still concerning. For Financial Advisers & Their Clients × We view equity markets as a vehicle for investors to participate in the potential growth of companies whose stocks are attractively priced. Expecting massive, short-term price increases is speculation, not investing. × Young people with money to invest would do well to find a financial adviser who can help them develop a financial plan for their savings. Risky stock bets made to brag about on social media platforms might be more entertaining but won't likely serve them well in the long run. What happened on Reddit and why is stock speculation causing a stir in markets? Reddit is a much talked about social bookmarking platform, which attracts people in a forum like setting. As a collective, users have been active discussing stock opportunities and engaging in a Main Street versus Wall Street debate. Some people are putting their money where their mouth is, where we suddenly saw some selected small stocks spike tremendously, then fall spectacularly. It's like watching the price of any speculative asset, like Bitcoin—the market can bounce around without much reason. Specifically fueling the speculation around these stocks were individual traders. Not just any individuals. In fact, we see two trends here. First, social media like Reddit's WallStreetBets and other platforms drove much of the trading of these selected stocks, according to reports.

    The Oregonian Right 2 Dream Too: Hoyt Street warehouse site, pushed by Mayor Charlie Hales, is dead By Andrew Theen Portland Mayor Charlie Hales is pulling the plug on the Old Town warehouse he pitched last month as a temporary home for Right 2 Dream Too. The cost of making the warehouse at 320 N.W. Hoyt Street suitable for the homeless community proved too high, according to Hales' staffers. Required improvements would have run $335,000, Hales' policy director Josh Alpert said Thursday. Alpert said Hales and Commissioner Amanda Fritz were in constant communication during the past month, and Fritz was part of the decision making. "We continue to look for a solution," Alpert said. Hales, Fritz and camp leaders are working to find other properties. A month ago, Hales took select members of the media on a tour of the Old Town warehouse. At the time, he said the city was prepared to sign a 15-month lease for R2D2, at a cost of $150,000. The homeless community has called a prominent street corner of West Burnside and Northwest Fourth Avenue home for more than two years. Last fall, Fritz brokered a deal to move the camp to a city-owned parking lot under a Broadway Bridge onramp. But at an October City Council hearing on the zoning decision authorizing the move, prominent Pearl District developers and neighborhood groups objected. Hales delayed a City Council decision so long as Homer Wiliams and Dike Dame, the developers, worked "in good faith" to find an alternative location. Officials with the Pearl group said they had worked day and night to find a suitable location.

  • Southern Comfort
    FROM THE NATIONAL ALLIANCE FOR MUSICAL THEAtre’s PresideNT Welcome to our 24th Annual Festival of New Musicals! The Festival is one of the highlights of the NAMT year, bringing together 600+ industry professionals for two days of intense focus on new musical theatre works and the remarkably talented writing teams who create them. This year we are particularly excited not only about the quality, but also about the diversity—in theme, style, period, place and people—represented across the eight shows that were selected from over 150 submissions. We’re visiting 17th-century England and early 20th century New York. We’re spending some time in the world of fairy tales—but not in ways you ever have before. We’re visiting Indiana and Georgia and the world of reality TV. Regardless of setting or stage of development, every one of these shows brings something new—something thought-provoking, funny, poignant or uplifting—to the musical theatre field. This Festival is about helping these shows and writers find their futures. Beyond the Festival, NAMT is active year-round in supporting members in their efforts to develop new works. This year’s Songwriters Showcase features excerpts from just a few of the many shows under development (many with collaboration across multiple members!) to salute the amazing, extraordinarily dedicated, innovative work our members do. A final and heartfelt thank you: our sponsors and donors make this Festival, and all of NAMT’s work, possible. We tremendously appreciate your support! Many thanks, too, to the Festival Committee, NAMT staff and all of you, our audience.

  • VITALY PALEY BIO Chef/Owner - Headwaters, Imperial , the Crown & Paley’S Place
    VITALY PALEY BIO Chef/Owner - Headwaters, Imperial , The Crown & Paley’s Place Critically-acclaimed chef, accomplished restaurateur, and noted cookbook author, Vitaly Paley has cemented himself as both a leader and a trailblazer in the American culinary scene. Through his award-winning food, creativity, and deep-rooted passion, it’s no wonder he is referred to as “The Dean of Chefs,” by the Portland, Ore. food community. With more than 25 years experience, a 2005 James Beard Award for “Best Chef Pacific Northwest,” and an April 2011 winning battle on Food Network’s “Iron Chef America” under his belt, the Russian-born and French-trained chef explores the historical significance of food and his heritage through diligent research. Vitaly believes cooking is as much about soul-searching and mood as it is about rigorous technique and constant repetition, “we’re always out there, putting our heart and soul on the plate,” said Vitaly on Oregon Public Broadcasting’s Think Out Loud. Vitaly has been instrumental in defining regional Northwest cuisine and is well-known for his clean preparations of local, sustainably-grown ingredients to produce seasonal, perfectly-executed dishes. In October 2016, Vitaly, along with his wife/partner, Kimberly Paley, opened Headwaters inside the historic Heathman Hotel. He is the third James Beard winning chef to take the helm of the property. The menu is the collaborative effort of Vitaly Paley and Executive Chef Tim Eckard, showcasing local ingredients from Oregon’s diverse bounty. Vitaly pays homage to the rich history of the location by reviving the iconic tea court, adding a Russian flare that speaks to his own heritage.

  • Hugh Mcgilvra Talk on Washington County Newspapers and Forest Grove History for the Tualatin Valley Historical Society
    Hugh McGilvra Talk on Washington County Newspapers and Forest Grove History for the Tualatin Valley Historical Society An audio recording of Hugh McGilvra, journalist and newspaper publisher in Forest Grove, giving a talk to the Tualatin Plains Historical Society on the occasion of his 50th anniversary of work. He talks about the newspaper history of Washington County for the first 25 minutes; the final 27 minutes are about his experiences working on the newspaper in Forest Grove and the community there. HM = Hugh McGilvra [00:00:00] [Recording begins mid-sentence] [HM]: ...practically everything in Forest Grove is that you don't know which is the egg and which is the chicken as far as Forest Grove and Pacific University are related. Historically, we know that they are intertwined and there has always been a relationship. I think as has been suggested by the introduction, that journalism in Washington County goes back to this date of about 1848. With a rather irregular publication of what was known as the Oregon American and the Evangelical Union, started in Tualatin Plains. Even if we ignore this rather odd publication as a real newspaper, there of course is still the Oregonian, which was actually started in Washington County, if you want to get your history straight. For a while, Multnomah County was not carved up into Washington and Clackamas County, until 4 years after the Oregonian made its [bow?] in 1850. This new county of Multnomah wasn't very highly -- was formed in spite of vigorous opposition of the Oregonian. Which regarded it as merely an opportunity for getting whatever the 1854 equivalent of the serving Democrats happened to be to get the opportunity for another office.

  • Using Turnitin to Provide Feedback on L2 Writers' Texts
    The Electronic Journal for English as a Second Language August 2016 – Volume 20, Number 2 Using Turnitin to Provide Feedback on L2 Writers’ Texts * * * On the Internet * * * Ilka Kostka Northeastern University Boston, MA, USA <[email protected]> Veronika Maliborska Northeastern University Boston, MA, USA <[email protected]> Abstract Second language (L2) writing instructors have varying tools at their disposal for providing feedback on students’ writing, including ones that enable them to provide written and audio feedback in electronic form. One tool that has been underexplored is Turnitin, a widely used software program that matches electronic text to a wide range of electronic texts found on the Internet and in the program’s massive repository. While Turnitin is primarily known for detecting potential plagiarism, we believe that instructors can make use of two features of the program (GradeMark tools and originality checker) to provide formative and summative feedback on students’ drafts. In this article, we use screenshots to illustrate how we have leveraged Turnitin to provide feedback to undergraduate L2 writers about their writing and use of sources. We encourage instructors who have access to Turnitin to explore the different features of this tool and its potential to create opportunities for learning. Introduction Educators have long been concerned about plagiarism, and developments in technology and the Internet over the past two decades have further complicated the issue. One way that institutions have responded to these concerns is by purchasing matched text detection software, which is often referred to as plagiarism detection software. Simply defined, matched text detection software matches text to other electronic text to determine how similar the texts are to each other.

  • The Oregonian Portland Police Chief Says
    The Oregonian Portland Police Chief Says Federal Cops Were Told They'd Get Help at ICE Protest If They Were in Danger By Everton Bailey August 1, 2018 Portland Police Chief Danielle Outlaw announced Wednesday that the bureau told the Federal Protective Service it would respond to their officers' emergency calls if their safety was at risk during a 38-day-long protest outside Portland's Immigration and Customs Enforcement Building. The statement comes two days after the union representing ICE employees sent a letter to Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler claiming he banned local police from responding to 911 calls from federal officers during the Occupy ICE demonstrations. The union said it left employees vulnerable to threats of violence and harassment. In a response Tuesday, Wheeler said he ordered no such policy. Outlaw said police officers responded to 41 calls for service during the encampment at the ICE building in Southwest Portland, which began June 17 and ended July 25. Portland police made no arrests, and there were no significant injuries to anyone around the camp, she said. The demonstration was to protest the Trump administration's policy of separating migrant children from their parents at the U.S.-Mexico border. The encampment caused the ICE building to be closed for eight days because of security concerns.

Frankly, almost never. Even the most professional looking royalty statements can mask issues resulting in unreported royalties. Often there is a lack of visibility with actual gross sales, the amount or type of deductions is not transparent; and sales territories, channels and customers are undisclosed. Additionally, unapproved products are not highlighted, unexploited rights remain dormant and hidden, and other issues are not revealed. These are real and costly problems that only a royalty compliance audit can make right. Avoid falling into royalty statement fiction.
