George Washington's First War: The Battles for Fort Duquesne List Price: $19.95 Sale Price: $19.95 |
|
On July 9, 1755, two regiments of British regulars and a Colonial contingent under the overall command of General Edward Braddock of the Coldstream Guards have been annihilated deep in the Ohio Country by a French and Native American guerrilla force from Fort Duquesne. The forest runs red with blood, and the French & Indian War has begun. Now French-led raiding parties use terror to push British settlers out of Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Maryland. In this dark time Virginia turns to its most experienced young leader, George Washington, a survivor of the Braddock Expedition. For three years Washington leads a regiment of Virginia defenders against the French-allied Indians, whom he calls "the most skillful of enemies" in a war that rages through the Ohio Country and across Europe. GEORGE WASHINGTON'S FIRST WAR uses large-scale battle reenactments staged on historic battlefields to capture the flavor of the war that taught young Washington how to lead fighting men. Featuring top historians, including CRUCIBLE OF WAR author Fred Anderson, REDCOATS author Stephen Brumwell, and BRADDOCK AT THE MONONGAHELA author Paul Kopperman, the award-winning GEORGE WASHINGTON'S FIRST WAR has been recognized by Colonial Williamsburg, Mount Vernon, and the Smithsonian Institution. |

The Apprentice - The Complete First Season List Price: $24.98 Sale Price: $3.10 |
|
Who'd have predicted The Apprentice would become such a hit? (Donald Trump aside.) And not just any hit, but one of the top-rated programs of the 2004 television season. A number of reality shows had crashed and burned before The Apprentice made its debut. Just as it was starting to seem as if the heyday of the non-scripted program was coming to an end--not counting American Idol--NBC's entrant into an overcrowded field was as an out-of-the-gate, must-see phenomenon. The concept is simple. Real estate magnate Trump selects 16 players from business applicants across the nation. The grand prize? A $250,000-a-year job running one of his companies. As in producer Mark Burnett's Survivor, the contestants are then sent to an island--the island of Manhattan. In the first episode, they're introduced, then divided into two teams: the men (Versacorp) versus the women (Protégé). From this point on, they will compete in a variety of business-related challenges. The parallels to Survivor are clear, but brains will be more important than brawn--although charisma never hurts. The challenges include selling a product, managing a restaurant, and devising an advertising campaign. At the end of each episode, the losing team is sent to the boardroom, where they meet with Trump and advisors Carolyn and George. The person considered most responsible for the loss gets to hear the immortal words: "You're fired." Although there can only be one winner, several stars would emerge during the first season: unctuous Sam, plainspoken Nick, sassy Heidi, and abrasive Omarosa. Various celebrities would also make guest appearances, such as Isaac Mizrahi, Regis Philbin, and Jessica Simpson. The success of The Apprentice would inspire a second season, as well as a host of imitators and spoofs, like Billionaire with Richard Branson and The Assistant with Andy Dick. --Kathleen C. Fennessy Survivor meets "Wall Street" in the hit reality series starring everybody's favorite tycoon, Donald Trump. Sixteen would-be moguls share a posh Manhattan apartment and are pitted against one another in competitions that test their business skills. Which of the candidates will avoid hearing the Donald utter "You're fired!" and be chosen as the Apprentice? All 14 episodes from the series' debut season--with a roster of candidates that includes Bill, Kwame, Amy, Nick, Omarosa, Erika, and others--are included in a five-disc set. 12 hrs. total. Standard; Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital 5.1; Subtitles: French, Spanish; deleted scenes; featurettes; interviews; music video; more. **14 episodes on 5 discs. 12 hrs.** |

Paths of Glory List Price: $14.98 Sale Price: $4.99 |
|
Stanley Kubrick had already made his talent known with the outstanding racetrack heist thriller The Killing, but it was the 1957 antiwar masterpiece Paths of Glory that catapulted Kubrick to international acclaim. Based on the novel by Humphrey Cobb, developed by Kubrick and starring Kirk Douglas, it would become one of the most powerful films about the wasteful insanity of warfare. In one of his finest roles, Douglas plays Colonel Dax, commander of a battle-worn regiment of the French army along the western front during World War I. Held in their trenches under the threat of German artillery, the regiment is ordered on a suicidal mission to capture an enemy stronghold. When the mission inevitably fails, French generals order the selection of three soldiers to be tried and executed on the charge of cowardice. Dax is appointed as defense attorney for the chosen scapegoats, and what follows is a travesty of justice that has remained relevant and powerful for decades. In the wake of some of the most authentic and devastating battle sequences ever filmed, Kubrick brilliantly explores the political machinations and selfish personal ambitions that result in battlefield slaughter and senseless executions. The film is unflinching in its condemnation of war and the self-indulgence of military leaders who orchestrate the deaths of thousands from the comfort of their luxurious headquarters. For many years, Paths of Glory was banned in France as a slanderous attack on French honor, but it's clear that Kubrick's intense drama is aimed at all nations and all men. Though it touches on themes of courage and loyalty in the context of warfare, the film is specifically about the historical realities of World War I, but its impact and artistic achievement remain timeless and universal. --Jeff Shannon Based on a true story which occurred in the French Army in 1916. When a regiment fails in its attempt to attack a German position, three men stand trial for cowardice.Genre: Feature Film-DramaRating: NRRelease Date: 1-MAY-2001Media Type: DVD |
Are you daunted by the prospect of choosing the correct unit trust for your hard earned savings? Financial websites list thousands of funds, and knowing which one to invest in can be intimidating, even for experienced financial professionals. And if you've done your own research, you'll already know that the fees levied by your local bank's financial advisors will severely reduce your chances of making a profitable investment.
This article will present a simple strategy to help small investors select unit trusts that invest in emerging markets. The advice has been compiled from the words of an experienced independent financial advisor and a financial data analyst.
Select the countries that you wish to invest in: If you do not already have a view on which countries you wish to invest in, then just invest in a broad emerging markets fund. The fund manager will adjust the fund's country weightings based on his professional knowledge.
Select Funds that have the top ratings: Seeing as there are so many funds to choose from, just filter out all the funds that do not have top ratings. You can do this by going to Trustnet.com and using to the "Fund Ratings" page from the Tools menu. Change the filtering criteria to only show funds that have an OSBR rating of Triple A, and Crown Rating of 3 crowns. From this list, you could select funds that match your country criteria. For example, if you wanted to invest in a general emerging markets fund, a fund that currently matches the filtering criteria is the First State Global Emerging Markets Fund. If you wanted a more specific focus on China, you could try the First State Greater China Growth Fund.
However, the filtering criteria are too strict for someone who wants to invest in more specific areas, such as India. Loosening up the criteria does not reveal any Indian unit trusts, and further investigation shows that this is because it is considered too specialist an area, and the funds therefore tend not to have ratings.
Searching Trustnet for Indian funds, reveals offerings from First State, Neptune and Jupiter. In the last year they have returned 49.5%, 21.8% and 26.0% respectively. Unfortunately, eyeballing the charts shows that all 3 have similar returns, so the excess returns reported for First State Trust must be a non synchronous pricing error.
To overcome the non synchronous pricing error, I used Trustnet's Multi-Plot Charting tool. It initially appears that the First State and Jupiter funds have very similar performance, while Neptune has lagged behind. However, plotting charts over a wider range of time scales will show that the First State Indian Subcontinent Unit Trust has outperformed the Jupiter fund over the last couple of years, while the Neptune fund still lags behind. However, while investors often like to invest in funds with strong historical performance, empirical evidence often shows that many managers cannot persistently outperform their peers.
So the next step is to differentiate between the First State and Jupiter Indian unit trusts, as the Neptune fund has underperformed by too much in my view. Seeing as there are ratings for neither, the next logical step is to compare fees. You should use a discount broker such as Hargreaves Lansdown for this. If you purchase your fund direct from the fund provider you will pay a hefty initial charge. For example, the initial charge for the First State Indian Subcontinent Fund is 4.00%. But with Hargreaves Lansdown it is 0.00%.
Anyway, with Hargreaves Lansdown, the First State Indian Subcontinent Unit Trust has an initial charge of 0.0%, and an annual management fee of 1.65%. The Jupiter India Accumulation Fund has an initial charge of 0.25%, and an annual management fee of 1.4%. So the First State Funds has a higher annual management fee of 0.25%, but costs 0.25% less to buy. This means that if an investor holds one of these funds for a year or more, than the Jupiter Fund will be cheaper.
To conclude, the research has shown that the First State Indian Subcontinent Unit Trust has outperformed the Jupiter India Unit Trust, though it also costs more. Seeing as both funds are so close, and there is so little to differentiate them, an easy solution for an investment in India would be to evenly divide the capital between the two trusts.
Other Thoughts
The details above have described how I chose my long term investments into emerging market unit trusts.
It was a financial analyst who advised me to use the fund ratings, as he pointed out that analysts would know more than me, so I may as well follow their guidelines.
It was a friend who's a financial advisor who advised me to select funds with active managers. Emerging markets have more geopolitical risk, so a good fund manager will be able to withdraw from riskier countries when they become troublesome.

The Secrets Of Strategy - Part 2 Of 2
Of course you've heard that when you do what you've always done, you'll likely get what you've always got. In this case that means playing the tactical game: coming up with acceptable--or worse--comfortable options and executing them as time permits. Likely, what you'll get is business as usual, and things will be... well, they'll be fine.
But "fine" may not be what you're after, and you are probably reading a series called "How to Create Strategies That Work" so you can do better -- perhaps much better...
And if you are willing to take some time and do your homework: the research, inquiry, analysis, synthesis, and the activation of strategy -- you can add dramatically more power to each one of your individual tactics, and potentially revolutionize your entire business.
In the beginning of this series I showed you how to start the process of selecting a market-dominating business and marketing strategy.
The first four steps are:
- Set your vision
- Gather environmental and competitive intelligence
- Take stock of your organization's strengths and weaknesses
- Answer the Global Strategy Question
I covered those in The Secrets of Strategy, Part 1. In this article I'm going to cover the next four steps:
- Establish decisive objectives
- Rate and rank your "SWOTs"
- Match your internal and external factors to identify strategic alternatives
- Select the highest-impact strategies for implementation
Establish Decisive Objectives
Strategy is contextual. This means you should not make any kind of strategic decision--choosing strategy A over Strategy B, for instance -- without first setting a context with Decisive Objectives.
The word decisive is from the Latin decidere, which means to cut off. Decisive objectives are the goals that cut off irrelevant business opportunities and distracting details. They define the boundaries of your company's efforts and direction, and establish the measures by which you will gauge your success.
This step is to select company-defining goals, the attainment of which will mean your vision has started to become a reality. These objectives or goals should relate to the following:
In what markets will you do business?
What market share will you have? Will you be a marginal player with a small percentage, a big player with a significant portion of the market, or will you dominate your market and crush all competition?
Where will you operate geographically? This question ties back to the issue of market share; you might dominate the market locally but be a small player nationally.
How much revenue and profit will you earn? Larger revenue goals will have different strategic needs.
What impact will your business have on your industry, your community, your world?
How will you exit your business? Will you run the business and eventually pass it on to family members? Will you sell it privately? Will you go public?
These are examples of the kinds of goals which shape your company. The decisive objectives create the context for the strategy alternatives you generate.
Rate and rank your "SWOTs"
Previously, you analyzed your external environment and internal strengths and weaknesses. Now rate and rank the most important factors.
Evaluate each external factor: is it an opportunity to be taken advantage of, a threat to be defended against, or is simply something neutral you can safely ignore? Do the same for your internal factors: are they strengths to capitalize upon, weaknesses which much be bolstered or outsourced, or neutral conditions?
Using your Decisive Objectives as a guide, select amongst the potential opportunities, threats, strengths and weaknesses, those factors you consider critical to the success of your business. (Ignore the neutral factors.)
Group the critical factors into internal and external. Rate each internal factor from .01 to .99 based on its perceived importance to your business. The total should add up to 1.0. Do the same for the external factors.
Select the top five to ten internal factors and external factors for matching.
Match your internal and external factors to identify strategic alternatives
Matching combines each internal factor with an external factor, generating a potentially relevant strategy. A software manufacturer might match an internal strength such as flexibility with an external opportunity of a new law in a related industry, yielding a strategic alternative to reconfigure the software and provide solutions to the new legal requirements.
Or, a duck farmer might match his internal strength of breeding expertise with an external opportunity demanding low-fat, high-protein foods to yield a strategy selling low- fat duck.
Strengths are matched with opportunities to create SO strategies. These are generally your strongest, highest leverage options. Strengths match with threats to create ST strategies. These use your natural assets to minimize external threats to existing revenue streams and your current competitive position. But since the best defense is often a strong offense, you may find yourself reverting to an SO strategy -- typically a better alternative.
WO strategies use external opportunities to reduce the impact of internal weaknesses. Of course, you may simply choose to put your resources into areas of strength and outsource weak factors.
WT strategies are the weakest of all: defensive approaches designed to minimize internal weaknesses or external threats. Sometimes necessary to protect weakening revenue streams, there are often other, more powerful approaches that take better advantage of company strengths.
This process is often called SWOT, named for the four types of internal and external factors. I prefer to call it SOT, since the most powerful options will not pay much attention to weaknesses. In our business philosophy you will gain more ground more quickly by amplifying and exploiting your strengths and outsourcing -- or ignoring -- the areas in which you are weak.
Select specific strategies for implementation
At this point many people choose to intuitively select which strategies to pursue. Others may prefer to bring rigor to the ranking process. This final step combines your various subjective analyses into a defined framework, giving each strategy a strategic impact score.
Compare your new strategic alternatives to your list of critical factors to find those factors affected by each strategy. For each match, rank the attractiveness of the strategy relative to the factor from 1-4 (1-not attractive, 2-somewhat attractive, 3-reasonably attractive, 4-highly attractive) and multiply it by the factor's rating (.01 - .99). Sum all the scores for that strategy into a total "strategic impact score."
Lastly, select your go-forward strategies based on the highest strategic impact scores.
This is a demanding process with many steps, but it is well worth the effort. The strategies you create will take greatest of advantage of your strengths and opportunities, while protecting your company most effectively against threats and weaknesses. They will provide your company with leverage to make the most of your assets, your competitive position and your markets, all while insuring your strategies are consistent with your company's vision and goals.
Important notice for strategy-minded entrepreneurs:
Strategy creation is a long road to hoe, and goes much more smoothly when you know what questions to ask and in what sequence. To make it easier for you and your senior team, I've created the Growth Strategy Roadmap.
This program of flowcharts, questions, checklists, and detailed processes takes you through the entire progression of evaluating your external and internal environments, and provides all the steps and forms necessary to generate matched options, and rate, rank and select a high-leverage, high-growth strategy.
