Meghna Sridhar '14 and Gus Greenstein '14
Amherst College seniors Gus Greenstein and Meghna Sridhar have been awarded Thomas J. Watson Fellowships for the 2014–15 academic year. The awards fund independent study and travel for self-designed projects.
Greenstein, an environmental studies major from Santa Rosa, Calif., will use his award on a project titled "Hydropower-Induced Displacement and Livelihood Effects: Where Specific Places Warrant Specific Restoration Strategies." He intends to travel to India, Chile, Paraguay and Thailand in order to investigate and analyze effects of hydroelectic dams in relation to sociocultural, economic and political systems. "[T]he Watson represents the perfect vehicle for exploring the extent of the consequences … and, more generally, for increasing my awareness of the challenges to crafting policy that balances development goals with environmental and social well-being," Greenstein wrote in his fellowship application. "In exploring this [issue] in diverse contexts, I will be able to gain a more complex understanding of the kinds of community-specific characteristics that necessitate highly individualized attention in compensation planning."
Sridhar, a law, jurisprudence and social thought major from New Delhi, India, will explore the pervading worldwide popularity of the Sanskrit epic poem Ramayana through her project, "Retracing Rama's Journey: Mapping the Hindu Epic Ramayana as a Global Tradition of Mythmaking and Storytelling." She will visit Indonesia, Laos, Cambodia, Italy and South Africa, exploring the distinct Ramayanas and their sociopolitical roles in each region and eventually putting together a version of her own. Her ultimate goal, she wrote in her Watson application, is "to gain a sense of what both the Ramayana is (through performance, translation and art) and what it means to the people of each culture and community."
She added: "My Ramayana, growing up, has not been a static 24,000-verse poem in an ancient tongue, but a living, breathing narrative encountered through festivals, grandmother's tales and street plays. I want to unpack, untangle, and weave together all these divergent Ramayanas, and at the end of my journey, produce my own. I wish to put myself in a unique position to understand, translate and craft a new Ramayana, a global, multicultural retelling suited to the modern age."
The Thomas J. Watson Foundation was created in 1961 as a charitable trust by Mrs. Thomas J. Watson Sr., in honor of her late husband, the founder of International Business Machines (IBM). In 1968, in recognition of Mr. and Mrs. Watson's long-standing interest in education and world affairs, their children decided that the Thomas J. Watson Fellowship Program should constitute a major activity of the foundation. Each Watson Fellow receives $25,000 for 12 months of travel, college loan assistance as needed and an insurance allowance.
Amherst has had 87 Watson Fellows during the program's history. "Amherst is one of the strongest schools in our program," said Jennifer Ludovici, former assistant director of the Watson Fellowship. "Amherst is exceptional at fostering an interest among the student body in pursuing such an unusual postgraduate experience."

Composer and arranger John Barry has died at the age of 77. You might not recognize the name, but you certainly recognize the music. Perhaps most famous would be the theme to Dr. No, the first of the James Bond movies. That music was actually written by Monty Norman, and only arranged by Barry. However, it got Barry a job composing scores for several more Bond movies, and it's his take on the music that's unmistakably a part of the Bond movies for decades to come.
Barry, however, wrote far more than just the music for James Bond movies. He won multiple Oscars, including but not limited to writing the song "Born Free" for the movie of the same title, as well as writing the scores to Out of Africa and Dances With Wolves.

Inaugural Price Tag: $30M-$40M
With the theme "Celebrating Freedom, Honoring Service," President Bush's second inauguration will heavily emphasize a nation at war, but festivities will rival those held during peacetime.
Planned are nine official balls, a youth concert, a parade, a fireworks display and, of course, Mr. Bush's second swearing-in ceremony at noon on Jan. 20. The cost will be between $30 million and $40 million, an amount that does not include expenses for security.
Jeanne Johnson Phillips, chairwoman of the 55th presidential inaugural committee, said U.S. inaugurations allow the country to "paint a picture of democracy" and "stand together regardless of politics" — and that this event will be no different in that respect.
What will be different, she said in a conference call with reporters, is that every event will focus on calling attention to those who have served in Iraq and Afghanistan as well as celebrating freedoms in the United States and other countries.
"We recognize this time that we are a nation at war," said Phillips, who has headed up two other inaugurations for the Bush family, in 2001 for the current president and in 1989 for his father.
This year, for the first time, a commander in chief's ball will be held, a special celebration for active troops who have returned from Iraq and Afghanistan and their families. The Defense Department will distribute about 2,000 tickets.
Mr. Bush made national security, the war on terror and the liberation of Iraq a central focus of his re-election campaign that culminated on Nov. 3 when Democratic Sen. John Kerry conceded the presidential race to the Republican incumbent.
The committee, employing between 400 and 500 staffers, is raising the money through private donations from Bush backers.

VOLUSIA COUNTY, Florida (CNN) – A 24-year-old woman was arrested after her 5-year-old son was found so underweight that he was not even on the child medical charts for kids his age.
According to WKMG, Naomie Hall was arrested on Thursday after the Department of Children and Families responded to her home in DeLand. Hall lives with her husband, son and two other children, WKMG reports.
Daytona Beach Police say the 5-year-old was dehydrated, malnourished and was seen eating small pieces of old cereal on the living room floor.
WKMG reports that Hall told authorities she had not given her son his prescribed medication and that three to four days had passed before she tried feeding him. Hall told investigators she only knew the boy was hungry because he began chewing on his hands.
Police say the 5-year-old could not stand, walk or talk.
The boy was taken to the Child Protection Team Office, where he was seen by a doctor. Authorities say the boy weighed only 24.9 pounds.
The child was then transported to Halifax Hospital, where doctors say he hadn't been bathed recently and his hands and feet were orange with blisters, according to authorities.
Hall has been charged with child neglect causing great harm.
WKMG reports Hall's attorney argued with the judge saying she does not have a criminal history and has two other kids at home she needs to take care of. The judge lowered her bond from $50,000 to $35,000.
Hall's husband declined comment and told reporters to go investigate her wife. He would not speak on her behalf. Hall is not allowed to have contact with the child unless it is under supervision.

The ham and cheese croissant and the humble ham and cheese toastie were the most popular food items sold.
Gold Coast Airport Chief Operating Officer Marion Charlton said 2017 was a year of big numbers for the airport.
"We had a record number of passengers last year but it takes more than jet fuel to keep them moving," she said.
"Our retailers are coming off the back of our busiest month and day on record in January and are now preparing themselves for the thousands of Commonwealth Games athletes, officials and spectators who are a matter of weeks away from arriving here.
"I'm sure they'll appreciate a ham and cheese croissant as much as the rest of us during those busy two weeks.
"But if the athletes are looking for something a little leaner, we have plenty of healthy options too."
Gold Coast Airport set a record for the 2017 calendar year when 6,542,604 passengers arrived or departed the airport – 120,602 more than in 2016.

Debt Management Plan Vs Debt Settlement
A debt management plan vs debt settlement: choosing a way out of debt.
As you look for the fastest and easiest way out of debt, you'll want to consider the benefits of a debt management plan vs debt settlement. Both approaches to debt relief may help you to reduce or eliminate your debt, but there are significant differences in a debt management plan vs debt settlement that can affect your financial future.
A debt management plan vs debt settlement: how do they work?
What is a debt settlement program? It's a strategy where you'll stop making payments to your creditors for a period of time – usually several months or longer. Then you'll work with a debt settlement agency or US debt settlement service to offer to settle your debts with your creditors for some percentage of what you owe. Your creditors may be inclined to accept your offer if they believe it's their best chance for recouping some of their losses.
What is a debt management plan? It's a program where you'll get help from a credit counseling agency to create a budget and a plan for paying down your debt over time – usually five years or less. Typically, you'll make just one payment each month to the agency, which will make payments to your creditors on your behalf. The agency may also work with your creditors to seek to lower interest rates and to waive late fees and other charges.
Debt management plan vs debt settlement: pros and cons.
The biggest benefit of a debt settlement plan is the potential to get out of debt for a fraction of what you owe. The downside, however, is that you may owe taxes on any amount that is forgiven, as well as substantial fees to your debt settlement agency. And if your attempt to settle debt doesn't work, you may end up with additional fines and legal fees that can increase the amount you owe.
Is debt settlement bad for your credit? Most definitely. Because debt settlement involves failing to make your monthly payments, you may end up ruining your credit and having difficulty applying for credit for years to come.
When you choose a debt management plan vs debt settlement, it'll likely take a little longer to pay off your debts, but you'll continue making payments to your creditors, helping to preserve your credit rating. You'll also work with credit counselors to develop the habits and skills you'll need to avoid debt in the future.
Getting advice on a debt management plan vs debt settlement.
As you work to decide whether a debt management plan vs debt settlement is the best option for you, it's helpful to get advice from a financial professional. That's where American Consumer Credit Counseling (ACCC) can help. As a nonprofit organization, we offer free credit counseling sessions where you can speak to a certified credit counselor and explore all your options for getting out of debt. You can also get answers to questions like, "What is debt settlement designed to do?" and "How bad does debt settlement hurt credit scores?" And whether you decide on a debt management plan vs debt settlement, we can direct you to social service referrals and to financial literacy materials that can help you master the skills to live a debt-free future.

The Ichimoku technique is increasingly followed by traders for its concreteness and especially for its ability to filter the volatility of supports and resistances. Its fame is mainly due to the presence of the "cloud" in the graphs that are using these indicators.
Traders who make extensive use of this technique find in the cloud an excellent graphical indicator to identify in advance and quite clearly the future levels of support / resistance of the market.
But that's not all: there are other factors in favor of this technique that allow the trader to effectively manage supports, resistances, entry and stop levels.
For those who still do not know this technique, here are the five main indicators of Ichimoku:
- Tenkan Sen (trigger line): it's the sum of the highest value and the lowest one divided by 2 for the last 9 periods. This line represents the fastest moving average and it is used in contrast with the Kijun Sen: for this reason it is also called signal line;
- Kijun Sen (base line): it's the sum of the highest value and the lowest one divided by 2 concerning the last 26 periods. As it is the slowest moving average, it is defined baseline or standard line;
- Senkou A / Leading Span A: it's the average value of Tenkan and Kijun Sen divided by 2 and moved forward by 26 periods;
- Senkou B / Leading Span B: it's the average value of the highest price and the lowest one of the last 52 periods divided by 2 and moved forward by 26 periods.
The two lines, Senkou A and B contain within them a colorful space defined Kumo or cloud. Some traders prefer to differentiate the color of the cloud depending on where the Senkou A and B are placed, in order to get an immediate impact on the current trend. Usually, when the cloud is colored in red, the Senkou B is positioned above the A and then the trend is bearish. Vice versa, when the color of the cloud is green, the Senkou A is placed above the B, witnessing a bullish trend with prices above the 52-weeks average. Other traders prefer to keep a single color instead of relying on the extreme Senkou line, to have an immediate graphic impact of the market trend.
The fifth important indicator is represented by the Chikou Span. This line measures the current price back by 26 periods, an important data if we want to understand what trend is dominating the market.
The opening of a long trade requires five basic requirements:
– The price should be positioned above the Kumo cloud
– The Tenkan Sen should be placed above the Kijun Sen
– The Chikou Span (hence the price of 26 periods ago) must be placed above the price
– The Kumo projected forward must have an increasing trend with Tenkan above the Kijun
– The price should not be exceed 150-200 pips higher than the Tenkan Sen to avoid an entry on a volatility peak.
The XAUUSD trend is particularly negative when viewed from the beginning of the year due to the probable tapering that the Fed will adopt. However, since the end of June, the price of gold has risen and has started to provide some reversal signals. As an example, let's see the graph of XAUUSD to check how some long entry conditions are met in order to try an entry.
Prices has risen above the Kumo, the Tenkan is higher then the Kijun, the projected Kumo trend is rising and finally the Chikou is positioned above prices corresponding to 26 periods ago and also above the cloud.
As always happens, the trade has to be better. The long entry can be made on the return of prices on the Tenkan by placing a stop at the prices break point of the Kumo.
Another example that help us understanding how to make a clear and definite trend: EURNOK is in the bull market from early 2013 and the prices test with the lower wall of the Kumo becomes an exemplary long entry opportunity. The last case of August 2013 was particularly profitable for the trader who could also count on the strength of the support of 7.76 on July 29th. If 7.76 is the ideal stop-loss of a long EURNOK operation, when should we enter long after this correction? Let's come back to the five above mentioned requirements.
The price has not dropped below the cloud and a few days later it has risen above, with the Senkou that cuts the Kijun upward. The Chikou is not a problem as amply above the entry level and neither is the trend of the cloud moved forward by 26 periods with a clear bullish inclination. At that point the buy EURNOK was a must and the next result has been a great success.
A last consideration regarding long-term trades based on weekly charts. We can quote USDZAR, whose trend is being upward for several quarters now. The interesting element of the Ichimoku technique is the ability to provide valid information about the health state of a trend. In this case, for USDZAR the golden rule was to remain long whilst increasing the exposure each time the prices went up above the Kijun line. When we find this sort of correction without all the other available indicators showing uncertainty, then there are high chances of success even within a long-term trend.

The Voice Season 5 Winner | The Voice Season 5 Finale Performance Video | Winner Of The Voice Season 5 | Tessanne Winner Of The Voice Season 5
Season 5′s winner has been announced on tonight's finale of The Voice— featuring some truly horrendous group performances, plus guest stars Celine Dion, Paramore, Ne-Yo, and One Republic, plus a stunningly cray collaboration between Christina Aguilera and "the most down-to-earth real person that I've ever met in this business," Lady Gaga! "The Voice" Season 5 trophy is rightly claimed by Jamician singing talent Tessane Chin During the NBC talent competition's Tuesday night finale, Tessanne Chin, the 28-year-old singer fromKingston, Jamaica, won the title for herself and Coach Adam Levine.
Chin, whose parents are musicians and who sang backup for reggae artist Jimmy Cliff, was the only remaining finalist who got all four judges (Levine, Christina Aguilera, Blake Shelton and CeeLo Green) to turn their chairs during the blind audition when she performed Try by Pink. Tessane entered the finale with the grandiloquent version of Whitney Houston number "I have nothing". Tessane belonged to Adam Levine team. The two singers who competed with Tessane in finale were Jacquie Lee and Will Champlin.
All three singers put their best foot forward in the Dec. 16 & 17 finale episodes and in the opinion of the judges as well as "The Voice" fans, Chin clearly conquered the show. Tessane performed for 12 weeks before performing in the show. After winning the trophy, Tessane cried tears of happiness as Jamaica celebrated her victory along with her. One of Tessane's fan revealed to Urban Islandz that he and his friends plan to celebrate Tessane Chin's victory throughout year
"Jamaica is celebrating with the United States as Tessanne wins The Voice!" –Carson Daly. Jacquie Lee (Team Christina) is the runner-up, and Will Champlin (Team Adam) finished in third. Enjoy the Finale performance video below
Season 6 of The Voice returns with a two-night premiere starting Feb. 24 at 8 ET/PT, when Shakira and Usher will rejoin Levine and Shelton as judges.

Waiver issued for drivers of utility crews restoring power
PHILADELPHIA – Gov. Tom Wolf says he's authorizing drivers taking utility crews to try to restore power to Pennsylvania homes and businesses to work longer hours than is normally allowed.
The governor said Sunday that the waiver, which runs through the end of the month, allows drivers helping transport crews to areas hard-hit by the storm to work 14 hours rather than being limited to 11 hours.
As of 1 p.m. Sunday, the governor said 236,000 utility customers remain without power in the commonwealth, down from a high of 587,000 at the height of Friday's storm.
Private companies are bringing in out-of-state workers to help. PECO says repair crews have come from as far away as Florida, Mississippi and Illinois. PPL said it was recalling about 25 linemen working in Puerto Rico.

There's a grand stretch in the evenings this week and we are starting to see the signs of Spring. We looked at pictures of spring flowers and I brought in some real flowers for the class to examine.
Then using oil pastels the children drew daffodils, tulip and snowdrops. We then used a green wash to finish our pictures.
This lesson was lovely and relaxing. The girls really enjoyed looking at the flowers. This lesson focuses on the process rather than product and allows the children to be creative.

Hourly loans due after midnight made due at next morning's opening hour instead of today's closing hour
- Article Type: General
- Product: Aleph
- Product Version: 20
Problem Symptoms:
Hourly loans (such as those for Course Reserve items) whose prospective due time is after midnight are due at the next morning's opening hour instead of the current day's closing time. See Additional Information below for an example.
As noted in the tab16 header: "When choosing '0' or '1', if the due hour is after closing and before 23:59:59, the due hour will change to the closing time of the same day. If the due hour is in the next day (after 00:00:01), the due hour will change to the opening time of the following day."
The following steps are necessary in order to accommodate cases where the prospective due hour is after midnight and needs to be adjusted to a time before midnight, such as 22:00.
1. Save the existing tab16 as "tab16.normal".
2. Create a copy of tab16 as "tab16.late" with "A" (actual time) in Column 8, and "2200" in column 9.
3. Add the following entries (with the correct full paths) to the $alephe_tab/job_list for the days on which it is necessary:
xx 20:00:00 N cp /exlibris/aleph/u2n_n/xxx50/tab16.late /exlibris/aleph/u2n_n/xxx50/tab16
xx 20:00:01 N p_cir_01.late.log XXX50 p_cir_01 XXX50
xx 00:00:00 N cp /exlibris/aleph/u2n_n/xxx50/tab16.normal /exlibris/aleph/u2n_n/xxx50/tab16
xx 00:00:01 N p_cir_01.normal.log XXX50 p_cir_01 XXX50
Additional Information
Example: The Closing time is 10:00 PM (22:00). The next day's opening time is 8:00 AM. The loan period is three hours.
Items checked out between 19:01 and 21:00, whose prospective due times are between 22:01 and 24:00, are adjusted to be due at 22:00, but items checked out between 21:01 and 22:00 are made due at 8:00 AM the next morning.

|My daughter-in-law in 1993
Another piece of jewellery is a Mizpah brooch my great-grandmother left me. Granny had received the brooch from her second husband before he left for WWI in 1914. It was a common gift for loved ones in the early 20th century. I sometimes wear the brooch when I am feeling sentimental. See the meaning of Mizpah here.
I think that it is wonderful to have pieces handed down from previous generations. I know my mother has more pieces of jewellery in her possession. I hope to pass these heirlooms down to my three granddaughters in due course.

Govt. leaves legacy of incompetence, corruption
Islamabad: The Islamabad Women's Chamber of Commerce and Industry IWCCI said on Sunday that the democratic government has left a legacy of massive corruption and incompetence pushing country and masses into total gloom.
Those who take politics as a lucrative business secured their future through plunder while leaving 180 million people insecure, said Farida Rashid, President IWCCI. Speaking to business community, she said that last five years would be remembered as a black chapter in the history of Pakistan.
The government made new records of incompetence, corruption, nepotism, lawlessness, bulldozing laws and clash of the institutions, she added. Farida Rashid said that most of the economic, fiscal, foreign and internal policies of the government met with failure while Pakistan faced international disgrace on various occasions.
Government continued to plunder national resources during five years but made a history of loot during its last few days, she observed. She said that almost all the policies were made to please nobility which took toll on Public Sector Enterprises PSEs, rupee lost value, record loans were borrowed while collections and forex reserved dwindled.
Farida said that oil and gas exploration was systematically discouraged to justify import of costly fuel for which the CNG sector was also destroyed. Government took around Rs 2.7 trillion loans from international lenders out of which 2.3 trillion were used to finance politically run Public Sector Enterprises but none could come out of losses to become profitable entity.
Unprecedented corruption estimated at Rs 1800 billion, shook the foundations of the country and put its very survival. Masses must learn a lesson as Pakistan cannot afford another round of such democracy, observed Farida Rashid.

Measurements of azimuthal angle and transverse momentum (pT) correlations of isolated photons and associated jets are reported for pp and PbPb collisions at √sNN=5.02 TeV. The data were recorded with the CMS detector at the CERN LHC. For events containing a leading isolated photon with pγT>40 GeV / c and an associated jet with pjetT>30 GeV/c, the photon+jet azimuthal correlation and pT imbalance in PbPb collisions are studied as functions of collision centrality and pγT. The results are compared to pp reference data collected at the same collision energy and to predictions from several theoretical models for parton energy loss. No evidence of broadening of the photon+jet azimuthal correlations is observed, while the ratio pjetT/pγT decreases significantly for PbPb data relative to the pp reference. All models considered agree within uncertainties with the data. The number of associated jets per photon with pγT>80 GeV/c is observed to be shifted towards lower pjetT values in central PbPb collisions compared to pp collisions. Show more

In addition, lutein itself is highly oxidizable, and, as a carotenoid, like other carotenoids, the application of lutein sedum Very limited. In practical applications, it is often necessary to make lutein into different dosage forms according to insoluble food characteristics or application requirements, such as: suspension, water-dispersible dry powder, etc., in order to improve the stability and bioavailability of lutein.

A gorilla tried to kill Barack Obama, history was forever changed because of one woman's hypocrisy, and John Noble reprised his Lord of the Rings role in what might be the weirdest inside joke I've ever seen. Yup, it's just another day on Legends of Tomorrow, folks.
John Noble dons his glorious Denethor wig in a scene from the latest Legends.Image: The CW
If you're not watching Legends of Tomorrow, you are officially out of excuses. I dare you to find another series that features a group of time travellers saving young Barack Obama from Gorilla Grodd, the giant, evil, telepathic gorilla, who announces he wants to "Make America Grodd Again"... and it's barely the C-plot.
The latest episode, "Guest-Starring John Noble", is mostly set-up for next week's season finale, but it's still strange and epic as all hell. It's about the Legends deciding to free the demon Mallus from his time prison so they can use the six Infinity Stones - sorry, I mean totems - to defeat him once and for all. If you think this was some calculated plan, then you clearly haven't been watching this show; it's yet another spur-of-the-moment decision from the Legends so they can allow Amaya to change history and save her village. (Given how Amaya had already told Zari she couldn't change the past to save her brother, this felt really cruel, and I really hope Zari ends up calling Amaya on her crap.)
Annoyingness aside, there were so many moments of televised perfection in this episode that I can't help but feel cheery. For example, they got Noble - who voices Mallus on the series - to play himself while dressed as his character Denethor on set of Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings, gorgeously hideous wig and all. After deciding they should somehow trick the Mallus-possessed Nora to come aboard their timeship to trap her in a magical prison, they come up with the utterly ludicrous plan for Ray to use his Atom suit to shrink down and literally fly into Nora's ear to emulate the voice of Mallus that's in her head. But how to mimic the booming voice of the demon? That's when the Legends happen to overhear John Noble's performance as Denethor in Lord of the Rings (Rory's watching it) and notice the actor and the demon sound uncannily similar.
So Ray travels to the 1999 New Zealand Rings set to have Noble recite some "new lines" from the film, all of which are designed to trick Nora into visiting the Waverider. Noble may have some questions about the new dialogue and the new character, who Ray insists was a studio mandate but dammit he's still a professional! Now, all I want is to see a scene from the anachronised The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King where Aragorn wields the Death Totem in order to command the army of the dead.
Oh, oh honey. No. Image: The CW
The episode ends with Mallus having escaped his prison, seemingly killing Nora in the process, and the result is a weird CGI'd Balrog-looking dude - only with less fire, more wings, and a greater deal of silliness. I was secretly hoping for Mallus to look like a giant Beebo - mainly because Legends always could use a bit more Beebo. But who knows, maybe our eternal god of cuddles will emerge in the season finale to help save time itself from Mallus' wrath. All praise to Beebo. He loves hugs.

Graduates are notorious for having small amounts of money when they leave college. They're only just beginning their careers, and they don't have high salaries to manage mortgages, bills, and everything else that comes with living independently.
Fortunately, there are some steps you can take to immensely reduce your outgoings. Here are 38 quick and easy ways to save money as a recent college graduate.
1. Use Receipt Scanning Apps
Receipt scanning apps are a great way to get cash back on groceries and other everyday items. Depending on the app, you can earn cash back for specific items or your total purchase price on the receipt.
One of the most popular receipt scanning apps is Ibotta, primarily meant for getting cash back with groceries. Earn anywhere from $.25 cents to $5 per item that you purchase. The best part is that you can earn cash back on more than one item per receipt. Here's a quick summary of how it works:
- Sign-up for a free Ibotta account by clicking this link here. You automatically get a $10 bonus after scanning your first receipt.
- Keep your grocery receipt after you make a purchase. As of recently, Ibotta has also expanded to other categories such as restaurants and electronic stores.
- Take a picture of your receipt after your purchase. Keep in mind that with this app, you have to make purchases from one of their partnered stores and a product that appears on the app. Not to worry, as Ibotta has over a thousand offers and they're partnered with most popular retailers.
- Wait up to 24 hours for your receipt to be validated. When taking a picture, be sure to include the entire receipt to make sure you get credited.
- When you reach a minimum balance of $10, cash out for a gift card. Wait until you get to $20 to cash out directly to PayPal.
If you're looking for other receipt scanning apps, check out our list of 11 receipt scanning apps that work just like Ibotta. The best part is that you can combine these apps, meaning sometimes you can get cash back for the same receipt twice – or even three times.
2. Use Cash Back Portals When Shopping Online
Cash back portals are online websites that pay you cash each time you shop online. These sites are partnered with thousands of retailers across the web. Click on one of their links and be redirected to the retailer of your choice. Make a purchase like you normally would, but receive cash back on your purchase.
There's absolutely no cost to these portals, and on average you can save 7% on all online purchase. The most popular portal with the best rates is called TopCashback. Here's a quick summary of how it works:
- Sign-up for a free TopCashback account by clicking this link here. You'll need to enter in your name and email along with creating a password. Each new member gets a $10 bonus.
- Log-in to your account and search for the retailer as your choice in their search bar at the top of the page. Using Walmart as an example, we see that we can earn 6% in cash back on all items (with a few exceptions). Keep in mind that these rates change.
- Click on the "Cashback" button to be redirected to the Walmart page. Make your purchase like you normally would.
- TopCashback will automatically keep track of your purchases. Within 10 days, the 6% cash back (or whatever the current rate for your store is) will appear in your account. Once you hit a minimum balance of $10, cash out to PayPal or for gift cards.
If you're still confused on how these portals work, you can read our full portal guide.
3. Earn $50 When You Register With WealthSimple
WealthSimple is a robo-advisor that takes all of the complications out of investing for you. Select your financial profile by answering a few questions about your age, current assets, income etc.
From there, WealthSimple will determine your financial portfolio to help you invest in your future. Your portfolio is based on knowledge from experts in the industry, and the money you invest is meant to go toward a long, steady growth.
The best part? When you sign-up with WealthSimple you get a FREE $50 registration bonus when you deposit your first $500. You can use all of this money to start investing right away.
4. Ditch Cable
Cable is a major drain on your resources. It makes little sense to pay for a huge cable package if you only watch a few channels. Now when you have streaming services such as Amazon Prime, it makes little sense to pay such an expensive bill. Keep track of special deals to see if there's discounts on a membership.
For as little as a few dollars a month, you can also join a service like Netflix. This service will give you access to all your favorite TV shows and movies from the comfort of your own computer. In order to get the full experience, hook up an HDMI cable to your television.
5. Sell Some of Your Trash
Most graduates will have unused or unwanted items in their homes. Rather than letting them gather dust, you should think about selling them online instead. You can also create a yard sale, but online selling is easier and you open yourself up to a wider audience. Two great sites for selling unwanted electronics include Amazon Trade-In and Decluttr.
6. Shop On AliExpress
While their customer service isn't as great as Amazon, most of the items you see on Amazon are actually from AliExpress. The only difference is that shipping times can take as long as 2 months before the product arrives at your door. If you plan in advance, you can get the item you want for just a fraction of the price.
Out of all of the items I've ordered, I've never had a problem with my shipment. I just had to wait a little while before I received it.
7. Start A Blog
I started this blog two years ago writing only once every two weeks, and I was still receiving a little bit of traffic. After a few months and around 30 articles later, I was making an extra few hundred a month. While it isn't much, it definitely helps.
Now my blog has grown to receiving roughly 3,000 visitors daily and supports my living expenses. Website hosting is remarkably cheap these days that anyone can start a blog. If you're looking for tips on how to setup a blog, we put together a list of 7 detailed steps to start a successful finance blog. Even if you're not interested in finance, these steps will still work.
8. Repair Clothes Instead of Getting New Ones
There's no reason to get rid of a shirt just because it has a hole in it. Learn to sew and repair that hole with a sewing machine that costs under $100. While it's an expensive cost upfront, over time you'll be saving money. Repairing clothes can add years to their lifespan. This is especially valuable when you have a wardrobe filled with brand name items.
Avoid getting rid of clothing unless you absolutely have to. And when you do get rid of clothing, you should take it to a charity store. Many charity stores will even do swaps, where if you donate an item they'll allow you to pick an item of similar value. Not only that, but it serves as a great tax write-off.
9. Learn to Coupon
Extreme couponing can literally save you thousands of dollars every year. It takes some work and knowledge to get started, but free services like Southern Savers can help you with this. Couponing is an easy way to get many common items for a fraction of the price, and sometimes you can pick up items for free.
I personally enjoy using Swagbucks since you get paid each time you use a coupon. This means you're getting the discount in addition to points that can be used to claim rewards and prizes. Swagbucks also pays you to watch videos, complete free online offers and take polls. Feel free to read our full Swagbucks Guide.
10. Look for Free Entertainment Options
Even something as mundane as going to the movies can easily flush $20 down the drain. Take your friends or family and the costs can spiral out of control. Look around for free fairs and shows can be found through a simple search online.
Many movie theaters will even present free screenings and heavily discounted viewings. You might have to be more flexible with your schedule, but there's no reason to spend more money than you have to.
11. Buy Discounted Gift Cards
Instead of making a purchase directly, buy a gift card to the retailer of your choice at a discount. I save nearly 8% on all Walmart purchases by using gift card vendor sites such as Raise combined with cash back portals. You even get a $5 bonus when you sign-up as a new user.
12. Learn Starbucks Hacks
It might be difficult to convince not to go to Starbucks for your coffee, so instead we're going to mention a few ways to help you save money.
- Save 9% on all Starbucks purchases by buying a discounted gift card at Cardpool.
- Get $1 in cash back when you buy Starbucks drinks in stores using the Ibotta app and scanning your receipt. Get a $10 bonus when you scan your first receipt.
- Ask for no water when ordering tea. Your tea will be a bit stronger, but you'll be getting twice the caffeine and taste for the same price.
- Don't bother with the latte on the Starbucks menu. Instead, go with a triple espresso with ice in a Venti-sized cup and then add as much milk as you want. The taste is nearly identical, and you'll be saving a few dollars.
- Bring your own tea. A cup of tea costs a minimum of $2 no matter the size at Starbucks. They're always more than happy to give you a cup of hot water for $.25 cents. You can get a pack of 48 high-quality teas for under $10 on Amazon.
If you'd like to hear all of the ways you can save money at Starbucks, we've put together a list of 25 hacks that will help you save money at Starbucks.
13. Attend Yard Sales
Yard sales can be a great place for incredible bargains. The reason why people hold yard sales is to clear a large number of items quickly. This means you can find extremely valuable items for a fraction of the cost. For example, you can find great deals on book and furnitures.
If you're savvy enough, you can buy the items and place them on eBay or Craigslist for resale. You might want to check other similar items first to see what they're going for.
14. Clean Your Car's Air Filter
Your car's air filter it keeps your car efficient and prevents it from using more power than it needs to. A clogged air filter will eventually cause your car to degrade, which can lead to those costly repair bills. Not only that, but your gas mileage doesn't go as far if it's not clean.
Replacing it only costs a few dollars, but in the long-term it will eliminate those large repair bills that come with taking it to a mechanic.
If you go to get your oil changed and they offer to replace it for you, reject their offer. The can sometimes charge up to $50 when you can simply buy it at the store and replace it for a few dollars in a matter of minutes.
15. Use A Credit Card For Everything
If you have a high credit score, using a credit card can actually help you save some extra money – contrary to popular belief. As long as you're disciplined and pay off your money on time, credit cards are a great source of cash back.
We suggest the Discover It Card. It comes with no annual fee and gives you 2% in cash back on all purchases your first year. Not only that, but you also get 5% in cash back on certain categories that rotate quarterly. Here's a quick summary of what the card offers:
- No annual fee
- 2% cash back on all purchases your first year
- 5% cash back on certain categories that rotate quarterly
- Free FICO credit score on each statement
- Expedited card delivery service for lost or stolen cards
16. Cancel Subscriptions and Memberships You Don't Use
The classic example of unused memberships is the gym membership taken out at the start of the year. People go for a few weeks and then gradually they let the membership run without using the gym. If you looking for a cheap at-home membership, try going with Daily Burn.
A lot of people are unaware of the memberships and subscriptions they actually hold, and that's a serious problem because it means that they're paying for things they're not using.
Cancel any subscriptions and memberships you have no use for. Be hard on this. If you're only attending the gym once a month you don't need that membership.
17. Look For Sign-Up Bonuses That Give $10 Or More
We've put together a list of websites that give you a $10 or higher sign-up bonus when you register as a new member. Two of these services we've already mentioned on this list – Ibotta and TopCashback.
Keep in mind that although you do get a bonus, you usually can't cash out right away. It's usually below the minimum, or you have to complete some other task before you can claim it.
18. Wash Your Hands
You might be wondering why washing your hands can help graduates save money. It's unlikely that you're going to fall seriously ill when you're young, but even trips to the doctor once or twice a year can cost hundreds of dollars. The best thing you can do is to preserve your health.
One part of this is washing your hands. Most minor ailments are transferred through your hands. After going to the bathroom, before handling food, and even when you return home you should wash your hands. You may even want to carry a hand sanitizer around with you for those little emergencies.
Don't underestimate how quickly illness can strike and what it might cost you.
19. Bring in a Roommate
Rental costs will make up the largest part of your monthly outgoings. Anything you can do to bring these down will be of great help. Bringing in a roommate can cut your rental costs in half.
If you happen to live in a bigger apartment or a house, you can bring in more than one. In exchange for sharing your space with someone else you can pay a fraction of the original rental price.
20. Track Debt with an App
Apps like Mint can help you to keep track of your financial situation. Most graduates will start with five or six figures of student debt, and you definitely don't want this to get any higher. Stay within your means to avoid problems.
Tracking your incomings and outgoings will enable you to make sure that you're not overspending. This is remarkably easy to do, but those little reminders from an app can keep your spending under control.
21.Carpool Your Way Around the City
Carpooling is a great way to share the costs of getting around the city. Taking one or more passengers can easily cover your fuel costs. If you're sharing a room with the people you carpool with, you might even want to conspire to split the costs of buying the car in the first place.
22. Buy a Bike
It's difficult to get around by walking unless you live in a major city like New York. For many people, they're only thirty to forty-five minutes from work by bicycle. Try to avoid getting a car unless you really need one. You can even buy foldable bikes for a little over $100 on Amazon – they ride well and aren't too expensive.
Owning and operating a car is more expensive for graduates. As well as the usual fuel and maintenance costs, you have insurance to worry about. Young people are considered more of a risk on the roads, so insurers jack up the costs of insurance. Buying a bike will save you from these costs, and you'll keep yourself fit and healthy at the same time.
23. Consolidate Your Student Loans
Student loans can be considerably large for recent graduates. The enormous figures might only constitute a fraction of your monthly outgoings, but they're still a nuisance. Consider consolidating your student loans via a private company.
Debt consolidation will nearly always lead to you paying less per month. In some cases, it can lead to you paying more. Be sure you check with the consolidation company before committing to it.
24. Use Essential Oils for Cleaning and Sanitation
Essential oils are a lot cheaper than normal cleaning products, and you most likely already have some lying in your home. You may think that they're only for health and beauty, but they have many uses. Not only that, but essential oils are generally considered to be better for the environment.
25. Stop Buying Brand Name Products
Many studies have revealed that brand name items are exactly the same as store brand items. It makes sense when you think about it. What's the difference between branded milk and no brand milk? They both come from the same cow. You can't create a premium cow.
Buying from big brands is not about buying a better product. You're really just paying for the label. Graduates can save money through buying lesser known brands. You're getting the same quality product without paying out a lot of money for it.
26. Sign Up for Free Customer Rewards
Most stores have promotions where you can earn free rewards. There are lots of different ways in which this happens. Some stores will have cash back on all your purchases, whereas others will simply let you earn points towards free perks over time.
Retail is extremely competitive, so you'll be pressed to find a brand that doesn't have some rewards system available. If there's nothing heavily advertised, it's always worth a shot asking them about it.
27. Move Your Bank Account Regularly
Banks live in an ultra-competitive environment. They have to constantly think of ways to get more customers, and some banks will even give you money just for opening an account with them. Moving your bank account to another bank can allow you to take advantage of welcome perks, as well as better interest rates.
Keep checking what introductory offers are available and if there's something better move. Every once in a while Discover Bank will have $100 sign-up bonus for new members.
Sometimes it pays to call the bank over the phone and tell them you're considering closing your account. Some people have received perks, and even free money, just for agreeing to stay with them, and there's no reason why you can't open an account with the other bank as well.
28. Take Online Surveys With PointClub
Not only do you get a $5 bonus when you sign-up as a new member with PointClub, but you can easily make anywhere from $7 – $15 per hour taking free online surveys.
The more you log-in daily with PointClub, the more you earn. Each time you log-in for 5 days in a row you get a 10% bonus on earnings with a maximum cap of 100%. Check their Facebook page for codes that get you free points. This is definitely one of the best survey sites around. Click here to read our full PointClub guide.
29. Stop Bowing to Impulse Buys with the 30-Day Rule
Even just one big purchase can completely ruin your finances for the month. It's difficult to resist the temptation to buy that shiny new television or book that vacation. You don't really need instant gratification, but you want it. One easy way to save money from impulse buys is to implement the 30-day rule.
The 30-day rule is a popular rule that states if you want to make a big purchase you have to wait at least 30 days before making a final decision. You'll quickly discover that the impulse has passed and you don't want to make that purchase any longer.
30. Invite People Over Instead of Going Out
Consider inviting people over instead of going out. You could cook dinner together, watch the game with a few beers, or have a good old-fashioned house party. There are many options open to you. You can even try signing-up for HelloFresh, a meal-based service that delivers food to your door. All you have to do is put it together and cook.
31. Get Free Meals Through Food Delivery Services
We put together a list of 10 food delivery programs that give you a bonus when you sign-up as a new member. This can greatly reduce the cost of your first meal, getting you anywhere from $5 – $10 off. While you still have to add on a delivery fee, it can be a great way to save a few dollars. These services typically partner with local restaurants and send orders to your door.
32. Opt for Video Games with Replay Value
Video games can be fun, but paying $70 every time you want to buy a new video game can really eat into your entertainment budget. That's why you need to look into video games with lots of replay value. Purchase games that you can play online for months on end.
When you do get rid of video games, consider trading them in at stores like GameStop. The store credit can contribute towards your next purchase, or you can directly ask for cash.
33. Join the Barter Economy
Sites like About explain the barter economy in detail, and It's becoming a major movement across the country. The idea behind it is instead of paying for goods and services, you trade for them. Think about what you can offer and market yourself as part of the barter economy.
There are no specific brands for this. It happens between friends, family, and neighbors. For example, if you know how to fix cards, you could get your neighbor to repair your roof in exchange for you fixing his car. No money ever changes hands. Over time, this can quite easily save hundreds of dollars.
34. Buy Refurbished Products On Efurb
Many people trying to save money will buy the cheapest blender, the cheapest washing machine, and the cheapest sofa. This might seem like a good idea for saving money in the short-term. When it comes to things like appliances, or anything that's designed to last long-term, you need to be looking at quality not affordability.
That cheap washing machine is guaranteed to break in a few years. That quality washing machine you passed on will last for ten years, on the other hand, without a problem. If you're still looking to get high-quality items at a good price, try buying refurbished on Efurb. They even give you a $10 bonus on sign-up.
Always think long-term when making the big purchases, and be willing to spend a little more now to save a lot more later on.
35. Get Motivated by Creating Savings Goals
Sometimes you might question why you're saving all this money in the first place. For a lot of people, saving money just to save money isn't motivation enough to make the necessary sacrifices. To counter this, you need to create a savings goal.
Think of something you truly want, and use that as your motivation to save money. A real goal will allow you to get motivated and will allow you to save in the long-term.
Your goal can be anything from saving up enough to buy a house or to go on vacation to an exotic destination. Write it down and refer back to it on a regular basis to stay motivated.
36. Meet With Yourself Every Month
Self-reflection is a powerful tool you can take advantage of. It's something you must take advantage of to avoid making mistakes. Take some time every month to sit down and monitor your performance, especially when it comes to your budget.
Think about the mistakes you made and come up with a plan for how you can save even more next month. You should refer to your written budget when doing this.
37. Work More
For those who are young and have some spare time, try looking in your local area for some extra work. Craigslist is a great source for odd jobs. You may not have a family to care for, so you have a lot of spare time to spend. Use this extra time to work more.
Take more overtime hours and increase your monthly income. It's a proven fact that those who work more have much less time to spend on pointless items.
38. Buy from Charity Or Thrift Stores
Charity stores are in the same category as flea markets. They're run by charities and survive entirely from donations. From there, items donated in good condition are sold to the general public. This includes stores like Goodwill.
Often you can find almost new brand name items for a fraction of the price in charity stores. This is especially great when buying small items such as books and DVDs.
39. Don't Go Crazy on Gifts
It's always nice to make people feel appreciated, but that doesn't mean you have to ruin your bank balance in order to do so. Consider making crafts to save money instead of purchasing. If you really want to save money, make purchases on AliExpress at a fraction of the price on Amazon.
40. Get Cash Back On Alcohol With bevRAGE
bevRAGE is a very particular receipt scanning app that pays you cash for uploading your receipt that has alcohol on it. Receive cash back for liquor, beer and wine purchased from convenience stores, restaurants and bars. It doesn't matter where you purchase the item, just as long as it's listed on your receipt.
Sometimes there are very generic deals. For example, you can get $3 in cash back off of any 24-pack of beer. Not only that, but you also get a $1 bonus when you use the promo code FRUGAL when scanning your first receipt.
41. Learn to Negotiate Your Rent
While it's nice living in a decent part of town, you're probably going to end up paying extra. Learn to negotiate your rent as well as other things in life. Even just asking for a little bit can help you save up a lot in the long-term. The worst they can do is say no.
42. Drink Wine From A Box
While it may sound strange, there's a big difference in price between wine in a bottle and wine in a box. The wine is exactly the same, but just slightly less elegant. The average price between wine in a bottle and wine in a box from Amazon is about $7 every time. That's a huge difference and one that shouldn't be ignored.
There are plenty of ways to save as a recent graduate. Keep in mind that every item on this list isn't necessarily for everyone, but hopefully you can find a few tricks or tips to help you out. If you have any other tips, feel free to leave them down below. Thanks for reading and happy frugaling!

The Founder's memorial of Sheikh Zayed is located on the corner of the Corniche and Marina Breakwater Road. The memorial is a free public space to enter but there is a swish looking visitors center on the site, join one of the 30 minute free tours if you want to find out more about the memorial. There is also a film room where you can sit and watch a six-minute clip about the concept behind the memorial and the making of the project which is totally worth it.
Inside the center, there is also an enormous 'interpretive wall', a multi-media wall where you can see various images of Sheikh Zayed and events from his life portrayed over slightly atmospheric and thought-provoking flowing sands.
When walking around on ground level there are numerous other things to look out for with information about various plant life and the significance for the country explained. There is also a heritage garden which is very interesting to learn about plants such as the Toothbrush Tree so-named because you guessed it, its twigs were historically used for teeth brushing due to their antiseptic properties.
The falaj water channels that run through the space are also important for their place in history, but not only that but also because of Sheikh Zayed's commitment to turn the Emirate green. Though of course, the real star of the show ('scuse the pun) is the centerpiece, known as The Constellation.
The Constellation is a vast artwork designed by artist Ralph Helmick and is made up of thousands of geometric shapes hung by over 1000 cables. At night, these geometric shapes bright up and form the face of Sheikh Zayed. You can just about make it out during the daytime if you know what you're looking for, but of course, it is clearer to see at night.
The Founder's Memorial is a beautiful addition to the Abu Dhabi, and despite being on the corner of two very busy roads, the site itself is quite calm and somehow feels very peaceful. It is a lovely area for a wander and a spot of thoughtful reflection. It really is quite amazing how much this country has achieved since 1971, and I personally think it is hard not to be impressed by the style and elegance of this new cultural attraction.
