AssetLock™ is a portfolio monitoring system, which identifies a client’s maximum portfolio downside or loss and indicates that immediate action is required in order to limit losses per the clients pre-determined risk tolerance. It is not an actual stop loss, and may not automatically sell the individual securities in the portfolio. Therefore, the AssetLock™ Value is a reference point to encourage a conversation between Capital Investment Advisors/ Capital Advisory Group and the client, and to determine if the client/s would like to liquidate the portfolio and move the assets into cash, reset the AssetLock™ percentage, or reallocate to a different risk profile. Investing entails risks, including possible loss of principal. The use of tools cannot guarantee performance. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.
A minimum price on alcohol in the NT will likely reduce harm – Michael Livingston and Sarah Callinan in The Conversation
Read the study on how people are interacting with Hello Sunday Morning when trying to have a break from alcohol
More success for CAPR with a new project on alcohol and price, led by Jason Jiang, receiving funding!
The research project measures and analyses the harm to others from drinking in low- and middle-income countries, in terms of the situation in each society and also in cross-national analyses. The project develops a master model for application in six countries, but it is expected, that the master protocol will be more widely applied in future projects, also in developed countries.
Recent studies in a few high-income countries (including the Centre’s national project) have begun to measure and document the extensive nature and magnitude of these harms. Building on these studies, WHO has identified a research initiative on Harm to Others from Drinking as a major strand in the Research Initiative on Alcohol, Health and Development under the Global Strategy to Reduce the Harmful Use of Alcohol.
The study is divided into two phases; the first phase will be carried out over 18 months and includes in each country a scoping and assessment study; and a general population survey of at least 1500 adults. The second phase will include register data analyses of harm to others from drinking as manifested in the case records of societal first-response agencies; and/or agency caseload studies in three first-response agency systems, the second option being employed particularly where no electronic or other cumulated case registry is available for that type of agency.
Summative reports for each country will be prepared by each country. Cross-national analyses will be undertaken and published by the co-investigators and within country research teams. Robin Room and Anne-Marie Laslett are co-investigators and technical advisors on the project. The project is funded by the Thai Health Organization and coordinated by other co-investigators Dag Rekve, Technical Officer, Management of Substance Abuse, Department of Mental Health and Substance abuse (World Health Organization), Dr Thaksaphon Thamarangsi, MD. MPH. PhD. Director, Center for Alcohol Studies (CAS), International Health Policy Program (IHPP ), and Ms. Orratai Waleewong, Researcher, Center for Alcohol Studies (CAS), International Health Policy Program (IHPP).
Machinima has posted the first two episodes of Blood and Chrome. You can watch them below. New episodes will be posted every Friday on the Machinima Prime YouTube channel, and the finale will be available on November 30.
Blood & Chrome was a natural progression for Hutzel and his team, as they moved out of Caprica. In the last half of the season, the artists working on Caprica started to expand the show’s VFX footprint by doing entire virtual sets—something they perfected in Blood & Chrome.
Blood & Chrome is, nonetheless, a departure from previous productions in the franchise. “The show is unusual in the sense that it is cut very, very fast,” Hutzel describes. In fact, most of the shots in the two-hour movie span three seconds or less. “Consequently, we ended up with more than 1,800 shots, either full-CGI shots or shots with virtual backdrops created completely in-house for the scene. Battlestar Galactica never delivered anywhere near that number of shots.”
A staff ranging from 22 to 35 VFX and CG artists also delivered the shots on a short schedule. “We delivered up to 150 shots a week, which was barely getting it done in time,” Hutzel affirms. “When I did the Battlestar Galactica miniseries—which, for the time, was a huge VFX show—we had six months to complete 320 VFX shots in the show. Now, we’ve just completed 1,800 shots that are an order of magnitude more complex in five months.”
The unrated version of Blood and Chrome has a release date now. It will be out on DVD and Blu-ray (you've read that right: Blu-ray) on February 19, 2013. You can pre-order them on Amazon:
And back to the episodes. Ben Cotton, Brian Markinson, Carmen Moore, Zak Santiago, and Mike Dopud all make an appearance in the first 20 minutes. (There aren't that many actors with speaking parts who weren't on Caprica.)
Ensign William Adama (Luke Pasqualino), barely in his 20′s and a recent Academy graduate, finds himself assigned to the newest battlestar in the colonial fleet: The Galactica. He quickly clashes with his co-pilot, Coker Fasjovik (Ben Cotton), a war-weary officer with just 47 days left on his tour of duty. In pursuit of the intense action that the Cylon war promises, Adama can’t wait to enter the fray.
Adama and Coker’s supply mission features a surprise: their cargo is the beautiful and enigmatic scientist Dr Becca Kelly (Lili Bordan). The routine mission quickly becomes deadly as the small crew pilots their Raptor into Cylon territory.
