This document discusses standard essential patents (SEPs) and FRAND disputes in the smartphone industry. It provides background on the smartphone patent wars, the role of SEPs in litigation between companies like Apple, Motorola, and Samsung, and issues around FRAND commitments. Specifically, it summarizes that FRAND commitments require SEP holders to license their patents under fair, reasonable, and non-discriminatory terms, but disputes arise because definitions of FRAND terms are unclear and not specified in standards setting organization policies. This has led to courts interpreting FRAND commitments and whether injunctive relief is appropriate for SEPs.

Billy Connolly is one of Scotland's greatest comedy success stories. He became famous in the 1970s for his stand-up routines and distinctive Glaswegian humor. While hugely popular in the UK, he faced criticism for leaving Scotland to pursue opportunities in Hollywood. Connolly enjoyed moderate success as an actor but never fully cracked the American market. Recent years have seen a return to Scottish film and TV productions. Connolly has a complex relationship with his homeland, both proud of his roots but also feeling misunderstood by the Scottish media at times. He remains one of the most successful British comedians internationally.

The document summarizes a study that investigates the risk and return of using a simple moving average (SMA) timing model across various markets compared to a buy-and-hold strategy. The study tested different SMA periods from 4 to 52 weeks on developed markets, emerging markets, and both combined. It found that an 8-week SMA period performed best overall based on annualized return, drawdown, and Sharpe ratio. However, 3 developed markets (Switzerland, US, UK) underperformed this model but performed best with longer 52-week SMA periods. The 8-week model outperformed buy-and-hold on average due to higher average profits compared to losses and lower drawdowns.
