How to Keep Car Mats Clean?
As a family man, you spend much time in your car. You probably carry one or more kids inside it every day, and they love to eat there, play with toys, and drink juice, making the car mats dirty and sticky. So, how to keep car mats clean?
For many people, car mats are an afterthought they don't think about until they have to clean them. Keeping them clean may not seem easy, but you can keep your car mats clean with the right tools and care.
It is something not everyone realizes that regular vacuuming and washing the floor coverings won't resolve. Instead, an additional and safe method for removing dirt from the mat and making it as fresh as new.
Today, I will tell you some useful tips for cleaning your car mats.
Why Do Car Mats Get Dirty in the First Place?
The simple answer is that dirt, mud, and snow fall off our shoes onto the mat. We may not even notice it, but over time this leads to a thick layer of mud and snow on the surface of your mats, which can damage their grip and cause them to slip.
It especially applies to rubber mats because they are porous and absorb water like sponges. If you let them go for too long, all that crud will build up, making them impossible to clean.
Why is it Important to Keep Car Mats Clean?
The importance of keeping your expensive car mats clean cannot be stressed enough. Here are a few reasons why it's important to clean your car mats regularly:
Maintains the Resale Value of Your Car
Cleaning your car mats will help you maintain the resale value of your car. If you decide to sell your car, the buyer will be impressed with the clean state of the car and may be willing to pay a higher price for it.
Prevents the Growth of Mildew and Mold
Mildew and mold are likely to grow on unclean surfaces. Thus, if you do not clean your car mats regularly, you'll likely find mildew and mold growing underneath them. It is extremely harmful to passengers as it can cause diseases like asthma and allergies.
Removes Foul Odor From the Car
The odor that emanates from dirty car mats is extremely unpleasant for passengers in the cabin. Thus, if you want to ensure no foul odor coming from your vehicle's cabin, it is advisable to clean your car mats regularly with a vacuum cleaner or a steam cleaner (if they are made of fabric).
Keeps Your Feet Healthy
Think of all the disgusting things on your car mats: food particles, coffee or soda spills, mud, snow and ice melt, and pet hair. Keeping those gross things out of your car will keep you and your car healthier.
How to Keep Car Floor Mats Clean?
It's not always easy to keep your car mats clean, especially in places with high amounts of dirt and grime, and even more so if you're on the road. Here are six ways to keep your car mats clean and the floor of your car looking new.
1. Prevent Dirt From Getting Inside the Car
The easiest way to keep car floor mats clean is to prevent dirt from getting inside the car in the first place. A few simple steps can keep interiors looking new for years to come.
Before leaving home, wipe your shoes on a mat or rug at the door. It will remove much dirt and debris that could be tracked into the vehicle.
If you live in a snowy area, consider investing in rubber floor mats that fit over your existing mats. These liners will catch much of the salt, snow, and ice that would otherwise ruin your carpeting.
2. Brush Off Excess Dirt
Dirt, gravel, and other debris can get caught in the grooves of your car's floor mats over time. Grab a stiff-bristled brush, like one used for cleaning clothes or scrubbing dishes, to loosen up this build-up and make it easier to clean. Use it to gently brush away any loose dirt or debris on the mats.
Cleaning the mats with a brush makes it easier to take care of them later, but it also helps prevent small pieces of debris from scratching your vehicle's interior surfaces when you remove the mats.
3. Vacuum Regularly
It might be a little obvious, but the best way to clean your floor mats is to vacuum them regularly. It will remove most of the dirt and dust on the mats daily.
You can use a hand-held vacuum or an extension on your home vacuum cleaner. Don't let the wheels touch your car carpet if you have an upright vacuum cleaner. The wheels may have oils or dirt that could stain your car mats.
You should also check underneath your floor mats when vacuuming, especially if they are rubber or have ridges. Dirt can get trapped under the mats and cause damage to your car's interior over time.
4. Footwell Paper
It is a cheap and easy way to catch dirt before getting into your car. A sheet of paper might not look attractive, but it will prevent dirt from getting into the mats.
The paper towels will soak up water and grease that might drop from your shoes onto the mats. Once the papers become dirty, you can remove them and replace them with fresh papers.
You could consider placing an old blanket or towel on the floor instead of paper to further take this method. If the material gets too dirty, toss it in the washing machine and use it later.
5. Lining Up Your Car Mats
You can line up your car floor mats on top of each other. When the top mats get muddy or wet, pull them out, hose them down, and let them air dry while the bottom one stays in place. Then, when you're done cleaning, put it back on top.
You can also use the rubber mats alone, though they may not look as nice in the car.
6. Wash Them Properly
Washing your car floor mats is the best way to clean them properly. Be sure to clean the underside of the mats and the top side. Wash off any soapy residue with clean water to remove bad stains, then place the mats in the sun to dry completely.
Cleaning your car floor mats will extend their life and make you feel better about getting into your car daily.
How Often Should You Clean Car Mats?
Since car mats are the main defense against mud and grime from footwear, you must keep them clean. Cleaning your car mats isn't difficult, but how often you need to clean them depends on how much dirt and moisture they are exposed to.
Suppose you're lucky to live in a climate that never snows or rains. It might be possible to vacuum your mat once a month to restore shine. But that's not an option for most of us, especially during the winter.
If you live where it rains or snows during part of the year, you should wash your floor mats at least twice during those months.
If you live in a climate where it rains or snows year-round (especially if you get heavy snow), consider washing them more often than that.
Our car mats are often the one thing we take for granted when cleaning. We are likely to clean our car seats and the outside of the car but not the mats inside.
The mats can be quite hard to clean and can cause health issues. We hope this article has helped you to keep your car mats clean.

Travel Tales from The Hub
A few Highlights Along the Wild Atlantic Way: Part 2. Doolin to Kinsale
More Photo Tips | Video Gallery | Photo Gallery | Enewsletter sign-up
By Ken Hubbard
If you spend any significant amount of time in Ireland, it's inevitable that sooner or later you are going to run into a bit of rain. The morning I was leaving Doolin and continuing my journey down the Wild Atlantic Way towards Killarney, the rains came. The roads can be precarious enough in Ireland, considering they are only wide enough for 1 ½ cars, throw in some heavy rain and you can bet I was white knuckling it for most of the ride! The bad weather and narrow roads did not deter me from continuing my way on this scenic road down to Quilty then through Kilkee, and finally onto Killimer, where I caught the Shannon ferry. Taking the ferry across the Shannon River saved a little time as my goal was to make it to the town of Kenmare before dark.
The further south I traveled the brighter the skies became and by the time I arrived in Killarney for a late lunch, the clouds had broken, the sun came out and color had returned to my hands. After lunch, I returned to the road and made my way to Kenmare passing through Killarney National Park, stopping at Ladies View to capture some images of the valley and lakes of Killarney. Finally making it to Kenmare it was time to check in to my accommodations, this time a B&B above a local pub called O'Donnabhain's Townhouse and B&B (https://www.odonnabhain-kenmare.com). I know it may seem like a risk staying above a local pub, but in this case the rooms were really comfortable and the food was very good! If you are looking for a restaurant that is a little more on the quiet side, try the Lime Tree Restaurant (http://www.limetreerestaurant.com), this was one of the best meals I had in Ireland.

The Ring of Kerry
The Ring of Kerry is a 110-mile route along roadway N70 starting and ending in Killarney and circling along the outer edge and coast line of the Iveragh Peninsula. There are numerous stops along this route which include castles, forts, famous homes and countless views of the beautiful landscape. Depending on the time of year this route can be very congested with tourist buses, so much so that all the buses travel the route in a counter clockwise direction. The roadways along this route are typically narrow, and you will need to choose your route on whether you would prefer to travel the same direction of the buses (which may be slower) or the opposite direction (having to pass buses coming towards you). Either way, it is a "must see" area of the country.
Unfortunately for me the rains returned the morning I was going to head out and circle the Ring of Kerry. Undeterred, I head out (gripping the wheel tightly again) on to the Roadway clockwise (opposite of the buses) starting in Kenmare. A few of the historical sites I stopped at were the Staigue stone fort, a ring fort built somewhere around 300 or 400AD and the Derrynane House, Home of Daniel O'connell an Irish political leader in the 19th century. The ladder was a nice stop to get out of the rain and warm up a bit while taking the tour of the house. Even in the rain this is a day trip worth taking, and stopping along the way to take in some of Irelands most scenic views. I eventually made my way back to Killarney and stopped in St. Mary's Cathedral, built by Architect Augustus Welby Pugin from 1842 – 1855.

County Cork and Kinsale
Wanting to stay longer to see more of the Ring of Kerry but needing to continue I reluctantly headed out of Kenmare and onto the Wild Atlantic Ways southern end point, the harbor town of Kinsale. Along the way the clouds started to break and the weather improved, once again revealing the beauty of the Irish countryside. Green rolling hillsides and misty mountains created a photographer's dream.

Kinsale known for its restaurants and boating community, is a historic harbor and fishing town that is located about 15 miles south of the city of Cork. I arrived in Kinsale early enough to have lunch consisting of fish and chips at Dino's and take a walk around town before checking into Long Quay House (http://www.longquayhousekinsale). Once I was settled in, I decided to take the 1.5 mile walk along Lower Road which follows the water's edge ending up at Fort Charles, a star shaped fort built in 1682. After spending a few hours there I headed back and once again a quick passing shower rolled in. Fortunately for me, there is always a good pub nearby to escape the rain, in this case The Bulman and Toddies (http://www.thebulman.ie/) was there to save the day and pour a fine pint!

Story of the devotee and God
Story of sadan Butcher and God
story of sadan butcher:–
There was a butcher's sadan. He was very honest, he used to live in Kirtan in the name of God. Even while cutting meat, he used to hum the name of God.
One day he was going somewhere in his tune, that a stone hit his leg. She stopped, saw a black round stone hit her leg. He took the stone and placed it in his pocket, thinking that it would be useful for breaking the meat.
After coming back, he used that stone to weigh the weight of the meat. In a few days he realized that this stone is not ordinary. The more weight that has to be weighed, the more weight the stone becomes.
Gradually, it started to spread that Sadan Butcher has a weighing stone, she breaks it as much as she wants. If someone has to give one kilo of meat, then putting that stone in the scales on one side, on the other hand, weighs only one kilo of meat. If one must have two kilos then that stone becomes heavy as a weight of two kilos.
Due to this miracle, a crowd of his people gathered. As the crowd gathered, sales of Sadan shop increased.
The talk also reached a pure Brahmin. However, he did not want to go to such an unclean place, where meat is cut and sold. But the eagerness to see the miracle stone pulled him to Sadan's shop.
Standing from a distance, he began to see Sadan butcher weighing meats. He saw how that stone was weighing every type of weight. After watching carefully, the body's hairs stood up. The Brahmin went to Sadan Butcher after the crowd had recovered
Sadan Butcher was pleased and surprised to see the Brahmin in his shop. Very humbly Sadan gave the Brahmin a place to sit and asked what he could do to serve them!
The Brahmin said: I have come to your shop only to see this miracle stone, or rather say that this miracle stone has pulled me to your shop.
In many cases, he told Sadan Butcher that by understanding which stone she is weighing, in reality she is Shaligram ji, which is the form of God. It is a great sin to keep Shaligram ji in the middle of the meat that has been slaughtered and to wean them.
Sadan was a devotee of a very simple nature. Hearing the talk of a Brahmin, he realized that I am inadvertently committing a lot of sin. By persuasion, he gave Shaligram to the Brahmin and said, "You are a Brahmin, so please make them happy by caring for them. There should be some service worthy of me. Let me know."
The Brahmin brought that Shaligram Shila home with great respect. On coming home, he bathed Sri Aligram, anointed Panchamrit and started worshiping.
A few days had passed that in the dream of those Brahmins, Shri Shaligram Ji came and said: O Brahmin! I am happy with your services, but you leave me with the same butcher.
When the Brahmin asked the reason in his dream, he got an answer that – you worship me Archana – I like it, but I also blame myself to the devotees who keep on chanting my name. Sadan does not worship me like you, but he keeps chanting my name all the time, which I like, so I went to him.
On the very next day, the Brahmin went to Sadan Butcher and bowed to him, told him the whole thing and handed it over to Shrishali Gramji. Sadan Butcher got tears in hearing of the Brahmin. In his mind, he thought of giving up the work of selling and buying meat and decided that if my Thakur likes Kirtan, I will do Nam Kirtan more and more time.

Shakira has made a ridiculous amount of money from throwing shade at ex Gerard Pique in songs
| Last updated
Pop sensation Shakira is believed to have made a staggering amount of money for songs dissing ex Gerard Pique.
The couple split last year and the break-up has been in the spotlight even more of late after Shakira released a diss track whereby she slated her former beau.
In the link up with Argentine producer Bizarrap for 'Music Sessions 53', which has garnered a 127 million views on YouTube, Shakira tells Pique "I'm too big for you, that's why you're with someone just like you."
She also sings: "This is for me to mortify you, chew and swallow so it doesn't sting, I won't return to you any more even if you cry or beg me.
"I understood that it's not my fault that they criticize you, I only make music, sorry that I splashed you.
"No hard feelings babe. I wish you good luck with my so-called replacement. I don't even know what happened, you're acting so weird I don't even recognise you."
The Colombian also made reference to Pique and his new 23-year-old girlfriend Clara Chia Marti, saying:"I'm worth two 22-year-olds. You traded a Ferrari for a Twingo. You traded a Rolex for a Casio."
As per MARCA, Telecinco's morning show 'El Programa de Ana Rosa', the 45-year-old has collected a whole lot of money from various streaming services for her most recent release.
She is said to have made $512,000 from YouTube, $500,000 from Amazon Music, $360,000 from Spotify and $1,200,000 from Apple Music - bringing the total to $2,500,000.
'Te felicito' is another song also released with a subtle mention to Pique and that earned the She-Wolf singer $10 million.
Overall, with the two-month old track 'Monotonia' featuring Ozuna factored in, it's estimated Shakira has added an extra $15 million for music about her past relationship.
Pique, meanwhile, doesn't appear to be too bothered with Shakira's digs. On a Twitch stream, he jokingly announced Casio as a sponsor of his seven-a-side 'Kings League' - in reference to a lyric from the fresh hit.
He then went a step further by pulling up in a white Renault Twingo in another genius response to his partner of 11 years.

John Celardo (John Celardo)
After creating sports cartoons for Street & Smith magazines, John Celardo began drawing for comic books, including a job at the Eisner-Iger shop. During the 1940s, he was an assistant art director and a major contributor to the Fiction House line, notably for Wings Comics. Over decades, he did work for a variety of publishers, including American Comics Group, DC Comics, Gold Key, Quality, Standard, St. John and Whitman. In the early 1950s, he succeeded Bob Lubbers as illustrator of the Tarzan comic strip. He began the Tarzan daily strip on January 18, 1954 and the Sunday strip on February 28, 1954, eventually drawing a total of 4350 daily strips and 724 Sunday strips. His work was then appearing in 225 newspapers in 12 different countries. Celardo continued on Tarzan until January 7, 1968, when Russ Manning took it over. Celardo then succeeded Joe Kubert on Tales of the Green Beret. He drew the daily Buz Sawyer comic strip from 1983 until it was discontinued on October 7, 1989. During the 1960s, John Celardo also did artwork for Topps Chewing Gum trading cards, including a comic strip on their Land of the Giants card series. In 1969, he illustrated Paperback Library's Get Your Shape in Shape by Rita Chazen and Fran Hair. From 1973 to the mid-1990s, he was a comics editor at King Features Syndicate. One of the artists interviewed by David Hajdu for Hajdu's authoritative survey of the comic book industry, The Ten-Cent Plague: The Great Comic-Book Scare and How It Changed America, Celardo was a member of Artists and Writers, the National Cartoonists Society and the Staten Island Kiwanis Club. At age 93, John Celardo died in 2012 at the Clove Lakes Health Care and Rehabilitation Center in Castleton Corners, survived by his son, John J.; his wife, the former Julia Esposito; his daughter, Donna DeForest; three brothers Joe, Frank and Edward; and three grandchildren Ryan DeForest, Kaitlin DeForest, and Devin DeForest.

I am a big fan of good, honest pop music. Not the focus-group-tested, pretty-face pop music that has been a ubiquitous part of the music industry from time immemorial, but the honest work of true artists. Matthew Sweet is a genuine artist, and "Girlfriend" is his masterpiece. His later efforts slowly drifted away from the radio-friendly pop hooks that permiated his 1991 work, but for the fan of the radio-friendly 2 1/2 to 4 1/2 minute pop song, there's not much better out there than "Girlfriend."
The centerpiece of the album is the title track, a great little piece of power pop about the desire to find another girlfriend at some point after the end of a previous relationship. Music video (inspired by a love of anime) follows:
It's a song with a happy, hopeful tone, but the album as a whole is considerably darker. It follows the pop music tradition of focusing more on heartbreak and unrequited love than on happiness and fulfillment. Despite the darker lyrical tones, it's an eminently listenable, singable, grooveable (I made up that word) album.
Highlights include downers like "You Don't Love Me", a little ballad to warm your heart:
'Cause you don't love me
You don't love me
You can't see how I matter in this world
Even though I loved you
You can't believe that
If you find something
You think might make you happy
Then I guess it's okay, I think it's okay
If you go away
That's more like the tone of the rest of the album. The best song on the album, in my opinion, is another ballad "Winona" which is not about Winona Ryder:
Could you be my little movie star
Could you be my long lost girl
It's true that I don't really know you
But I'm alone in the world
When I think maybe I need you
I don't care if it's not true
'Cause it isn't so much what I need now
As what I want from you
This song is clearly about a very healthy relationship. Or is it about stalking. You decide.
I don't want to give the impression it's a downer of an album. The lyrics are often sad and dark, but the music has terrific pop hooks, and the lyrics are simply in the long tradition of rock songs about break-ups and never-been-togethers. Overall, the album is not nearly as moody as "Violent Femmes". It's more about embracing a pop formula and then executing that formula very very well.
No, it is not, therefore, an innovative album. Matthew Sweet did not and does not invent any new form of music. He has always embraced the old, updated it, and done it very very well.
This is an album that has been solidly in my playing rotation since college, except after I lost the album during some move and went some time without replacing it. When I finally replaced it and listened to it again, I was amazed again by its power. His other albums, particularly his follow-up "Altered Beast" are pretty good. There are a couple of duds in his discography (such as the mis-fire "Living Things", Sweet's ode to the natural world), but overall Matthew Sweet's been making good albums for going on two decades now. "Girlfriend" is what he will be remembered for, however, and it's an album that should rightfully put him among the best pop rock artists ever.

Since 2003, the ADAC Ecotest helps consumers to holistically evaluate the environmental performance of cars in Germany. Each car is awarded a number of stars based on the following criteria: emissions of legally limited pollutants (carbon monoxide CO, hydrocarbons HC, nitrogen oxides NOx and particles) and carbon dioxide CO2 . All types of powertrains and fuels are evaluated in exactly the same way.
The Lexus ES 300h luxury sedan leads the ranking in the 'upper middle class' segment, being the only model reaching 4 stars out of a possible 5 in this 2019 ADAC Ecotest.
Looking more specifically at CO2 emissions, which are in direct proportion to fuel consumption, ES achieved outstanding results. Fuel consumption was assessed as low as 5.5 litres per 100km in the overall test which combines test-bench and road measurements. It even decreased further to 4.3l/100km in urban driving conditions, where the benefits of Lexus' self-charging hybrid powertrain can be fully leveraged.
The new Lexus ES 300h has been launched in Europe at the start of 2019. Its self-charging hybrid powertrain features an ultra-efficient 2.5l petrol engine combined with an electric motor which together deliver a total output of 160kW or 218 DN hp.
Lexus self-charging hybrids can be driven in zero-emissions mode for up to 50% of the total driving time in urban driving conditions – whatever the duration of the trip, and without ever any need to plug and recharge the vehicle.
For more details about the new Lexus ES, please visit the following page: https://newsroom.lexus.eu/european-dynamic-press-launch-press-kit-lexus-es-january-2019/
ADAC is Germany's leading automobile club. Founded in 1903, it is presently the largest association of its kind in Europe, with more than 20 million members. Full results of the 2019 Ecotest can be found here: https://www.adac.de/infotestrat/tests/eco-test/

Brokerage Accounts
A brokerage account may be a sensible choice for anyone looking to invest in stocks for a long-term goal, but what exactly is it and how does it compare to other types of investment accounts? In this article, we'll cover the key definitions and list some examples of the best online brokerage accounts in the UK, US, Europe and beyond.
Best Brokerage Accounts
You may already be familiar with the top names, including Fidelity, Vanguard and Charles Schwab; but we also look closely at the best options for non-US residents. We also detail how to open a brokerage account for both beginners and professional investors and answer some key questions.
What Is A Brokerage Account?
A brokerage account allows you to invest in securities such as stocks, mutual funds, bonds, ETFs (exchange-traded funds) or index funds such as S&P 500. Brokerage accounts can have joint or individual ownership and can be self-served (by the individual) or managed (by an investment expert or robo-advisor).
If you compare a brokerage account vs a bank account, both allow you to transfer money in and out. However, the main attraction of a brokerage account is that it typically allows you to buy and sell within the stock market.
Brokerage accounts are also usually taxable since the investment income you collect is subject to capital gains tax. This differs from retirement accounts, which will be explained in more depth later on.
Brokerage accounts are usually accessible to anyone, with most available to open with no initial deposit and no account opening fees. To set up a brokerage account, you need to complete an application with a licensed brokerage firm that will provide professional support and act as an intermediary.
There are different types of companies to choose from, appealing to a range of requirements and budgets. It's also possible to set up an international brokerage account, though the latter may require a more rigorous application process.
It is highly recommended that you carry out a thorough comparison of a few options to find out which type of account is best for you. We've covered reviews of our top 5 brokerage accounts below, along with a step-by-step guide on how to set up your own.
Brokerage Account Vs Individual Retirement Account (IRA)
One of the main differences between a brokerage account and a retirement account is the different tax rules and withdrawal restrictions. Since retirement accounts are specifically designed for the purpose of saving, they may have stricter rules on how and when a withdrawal can be made, or how much you can contribute each year.
Retirement accounts also have tax benefits, unlike brokerage accounts which are usually taxed as capital gains. Specifically, IRA contributions are tax-deductible in the year they are made, meaning your investments can grow without needing to worry about annual capital gains or dividend taxes. Note though, that withdrawals from IRAs are taxable.
Brokerage Account Vs Individual Savings Account (ISA)
An ISA is a standard savings account that offers tax-free interest payments. Traditional ISAs differ from brokerage accounts because you cannot invest in securities; they are simply for savings. You can, however, set up a stocks and shares ISA, which does allow you to put all or some of your money into a range of investments.
There are also other restrictions with ISAs, for example, you can only have one 'active' account per year and you cannot open multiple ISAs. There are also limits to how much money you can deposit into an ISA per tax year. In the UK, for example, the maximum allowance was £20,000 in the 2019/20 tax year.
Brokerage Account Vs Cash Management Account
Cash management accounts (CMA) are offered by non-bank financial service providers like Robinhood or Wealthfront, and allow you to park and spend your money, much like a bank account.
They help customers to save their uninvested money and therefore typically complement an investment account. As such, a CMA is a brokerage account in which purchases can be made with a debit card. CMAs can also earn interest from the CMA provider.
If you're deciding between a brokerage account or a cash management account, the best place to start is to consider your financial goals and how much risk you're willing to take. Interest rates in a CMA may not earn you as much as an investment account, but your savings will not be at risk from stock market performance.
Pros Of Brokerage Accounts
There are a number of pros and cons to consider before starting a new brokerage account. Compared to other types of investment or savings accounts, traditional brokerage accounts are generally less restrictive. This is down to a few factors:
- You can trade with margin (borrowed money), though this comes with risks
- There is no limit to the number of brokerage accounts that you can open
- More investment vehicles can be accessed compared to IRAs i.e. options
- There's usually no account opening fees (though there are transfer fees)
- You don't need to worry about a deposit limit in your account per year
- You usually don't have to pay an initial deposit to open an account
- You can withdraw funds at any time
Cons Of Brokerage Accounts
The biggest downside of a traditional brokerage account is that there are no tax advantages. All investment earnings are taxed as capital gains and dividends, which apply when you sell investments at a profit.
You will need to check the capital gains taxable amounts and tax reporting rules with your jurisdiction. For example, in the USA, the IRS (Internal Revenue Service) considers two types of capital gains: long-term and short-term.
Long-term capital gains are profits held for over a year and are taxed at rates of 0%, 15% or 20% depending on your taxable income. Short-term capital gains are profits held for a year or less and are taxed as ordinary income.
In the UK, the HMRC (Her Majesty's Revenue & Customs), sets capital gains tax at 20% on profits above £12,300 (2020/2021 tax year), though this falls to 10% if you are below the basic-rate income tax band. You can use an online tax calculator and profit estimator for guidance.
Another key downside of a brokerage account is the risk of investing in the stock market. Earnings from your account will depend on stock market performance and there is no guarantee that your investments will always generate good average returns.
There's always the risk that you will lose some, or even all, of your cash. It's worth finding out if your brokerage firm can provide protection if your account falls into negative balance.
Brokerage Account Reviews
To help you decide on the right option for you, we've provided our top list of the 5 best brokerage account reviews and offers from from 2024. Once you've carried out a thorough comparison of deals, you'll be able to easily narrow down the options to your top 3 brokerage accounts, before settling on your winner.
TD Ameritrade
Considered one of the best brokerage accounts for beginners, TD Ameritrade is an excellent choice if you're looking for a solid number of trading tools and educational content.
Acquired by Charles Schwab in 2019, TD Ameritrade offers $0 commission rates on stock and ETF trades, with options costing $0.65 per contract and a $6.95 flat fee for penny stocks.
You can also get access to top platforms at TD Ameritrade, including thinkorswim via desktop, web and mobile. Whilst the broker offers a range of investment services, the main drawback is the lack of international trading (only US and Canada-listed securities are available).
Interactive Brokers
Geared towards more advanced traders, Interactive Brokers offers a vast range of tradable securities across US and international markets. As such, this brokerage account is an excellent choice for non-US residents.
The broker also offers low or no commissions on stocks and ETFs, plus low rates on their pricing tiers. For example, traders who invest up to 300,000 shares per month will pay $0.0035 per share, whilst those who trade over 100 million shares per month will pay as low as $0.0005 per share in their brokerage account.
Investors also enjoy powerful trading platforms and extensive research content. The main limitations include inactivity fees and an account charge of $10 if your balance drops below $100,000.
An E*TRADE brokerage account offers some of the lowest overall fees on trades, no minimum deposit, powerful platforms and an excellent investment offering.
The broker's platform is powered by Chart IQ, which offers advanced charting tools, technical analysis and the integrated Trading Central platform. You can also access a range of research tools, daily insights, market commentary and Bloomberg TV.
Compared to TD Ameritrade, an E*TRADE brokerage account falls down in our review in terms of beginner learning content. It would also be nice to see more depth of research analysis and perhaps some video content.
Ideal for active traders, TradeStation offers high-quality trading platforms, commission-free trades and a wide range of tradable securities, including cryptocurrencies.
Depending on the type of account you choose, you'll either need a $0 or $2,000 minimum balance, though the latter gets full access to the suite of tools and free trades within the TradeStation 10 platform.
The range of educational tools available is comprehensive and users also get access to an excellent trading community. TradeStation also offers some promotions to new investors, including cash credit up to $5,000 with a qualifying deposit.
Due to its ease of use and $0 fees on stocks and ETF trades, a Robinhood brokerage account is also ideal for beginners. Note, however, that Robinhood only supports penny stocks listed on NASDAQ or NYSE (and not OTC stocks).
The range of platforms and tools is also not competitive when compared to TD Ameritrade, TradeStation or ETrade, for example. Nonetheless, Robinhood's mobile app is fast and easy to navigate.
Robinhood also offers a cash management service, which includes a debit card. This allows you to earn interest on your uninvested cash in your brokerage account. Note, though, that the annual yields in the cash management account vs. the average high-yield savings account are 0.30% and 0.50%, respectively.
How To Open A Brokerage Account
Now that you're more familiar with the key features of a brokerage account and some top names in the market, take a look at the steps below on how to open an account. Choosing a new brokerage is unlikely to be a quick process, so avoid rushing into your decision.
Consider Your Requirements
Your first step should involve determining what your investment goals are. If you're looking to park your savings until retirement, then an IRA or Roth account might be best for you.
If you want to invest for a future goal with the support of a financial advisor, and if you don't mind being taxed on your earnings, then a traditional taxable brokerage account is your best option.
A traditional brokerage account will come in two forms: a cash or margin account. Margin accounts allow you to borrow money to buy stocks, with stocks in your portfolio used as collateral. In addition to interest on that borrowed money, you need to be aware of the risks involved, as well as applicable margin rates.
Compare Fees & Features
Most brokerages today offer commission-free trading on stocks, ETFs and other securities. Some may also offer sign-up discounts, referral bonus deals or promotions for transferring your funds from another broker.
Nonetheless, it's essential that you fully understand the broker's pricing model and fees before committing. This is especially true if you plan on trading anything except stocks, or if you're a non-US resident signing up to a US brokerage.
Don't forget to also consider other factors, including trading platforms, access to research and the range of securities available.
Choose A Brokerage
You should weigh up the pros and cons of each option in as much detail as possible. You can start with our guide above and check out some of our top firms, including TD Ameritrade and Robinhood, which are excellent choices for beginners.
Experienced traders looking to open an advanced or professional brokerage account may want to consider other options, such as TradeStation or Interactive Brokers. You could also try some other names not mentioned above, including Vanguard, Questrade, eToro, Trading 212, Webull or Fidelity.
Complete Application
Applying for a new brokerage account is typically quick and straight-forward. You may need to provide some KYC identification documents, including your driver's license or bank statement. Some brokers may also need to do a hard pull of your credit report in order to complete the application process.
If you're signing up from outside the US or if you're requesting a margin account, there may be additional forms. Note that there may be a minimum age limit for individual account holders and rules on adding a beneficiary or joint account holder.
It's also worth checking out terms and conditions for account termination, as some companies may charge a penalty fee for closing a brokerage account under certain conditions.
Fund Account
There are usually several ways you can transfer funds into your brokerage account, including bank wire, electronic funds transfer or stock certificates. The quickest method is wire transfer, often clearing in a matter of minutes.
Before funding, take note of any minimum deposit amounts or balance requirements set by your broker. Taxable accounts may vary in this respect, depending on whether you opt for a standard cash or a margin account.
Start Investing
Now that you've set up and funded your account, you're free to start investing in the stock market and other assets. Before you do this, though, it's important to first invest your time into researching the stock market and how to create a diverse portfolio.
As mentioned earlier, your portfolio's performance will depend on that of the stock market and as such, there are inherent risks to consider. You can always use an online investment growth calculator to estimate your expected rate of return.
Final Word On Brokerage Accounts
In this article, we've broken down the key types of brokerage accounts, from traditional to retirement options. If you're thinking of investing your money for a rainy day, there are several pros and cons that will affect your decision. Whilst brokerage accounts can offer attractive benefits, taxes levied on your profits are not one of them.
Nonetheless, if you're ready to chase profits in the stock market, there are a number of excellent brokerage companies that can provide top-class platforms, low fees and a wide selection of educational resources for beginners.
What Is A Brokerage Account?
A traditional brokerage account allows you to invest in stocks and other tradable securities. These accounts are taxable, as your earnings are classed as capital gains. This type of account differs from a retirement account which is specifically designed for the purpose of retirement savings and offers tax-deductible benefits.
Can I Have 3 Brokerage Accounts?
Yes, you can open 1, 2 or even 3 brokerage accounts if you wish, though this is not advised for beginners. Some traders opt for multiple accounts across several brokerage firms, depending on the different features, assets or pricing on offer. Note that multiple accounts can increase the risk of identity theft and you may get hacked more easily as a result.
What Is The Best Brokerage Account For Beginners?
In the US, some of the best brokerage accounts for beginners include TD Ameritrade and Robinhood. In the UK, many beginners prefer to trade with Fidelity or Trading 212 due to the wide variety of educational resources on offer.
What Is The Best Zero Commission Brokerage Account In The US?

The Friends of Charles Darwin website has a new (dare I say it) intelligent design: simpler, faster, cleaner, and more adaptable to different browsers and reading devices. The new design should also make it easier for me to post different types of updates.
I'll no doubt be tweaking the design over the next couple of weeks, but I hope you like the new look.

THE Jews, like other childish people, enjoy pretending, and when pretending brings them the tribute due to the character assumed, they revel in it. In this way they have obtained much credit which should not have been given to them. They first were tricked out in borrowed traditions and supplied with an entirely false idea of themselves about 430 B.C. Then commenced the Great Jewish Masque, a pretence which has been maintained to the present day.

Understanding the Variances in Insurance Requirements for Glenburn, ME Condos and Single-Family Homes
When it comes to purchasing a property in Glenburn, ME, one of the crucial aspects to consider is the insurance needs and requirements. Whether you are interested in a condominium or a single-family home, understanding the differences in insurance needs is vital to protect your investment and ensure peace of mind. In this article, we will explore the contrasting insurance requirements for Glenburn condos versus single-family homes, helping you make an informed decision. Condominium Insurance Needs: Condos have unique insurance needs compared to single-family homes due to their shared ownership structure. Typically, when you purchase a condo, you become part of a homeowners association (HOA), which is responsible for maintaining the communal areas and providing certain insurance coverage. However, it is essential to note that the HOA's insurance policy usually only covers the building's exterior and common areas, such as hallways, parking lots, and swimming pools. To safeguard your individual unit and personal belongings, you will need to obtain a separate insurance policy known as condo insurance or HO6 insurance. This policy typically covers your unit's interior, personal property, and liability protection in case someone is injured while visiting your condo. It is crucial to carefully review the HOA's insurance policy to understand what is covered, ensuring that your HO6 policy complements the existing coverage. Single-Family Home Insurance Needs: In contrast to condos, single-family homeowners have more extensive responsibilities when it comes to insurance coverage. As the sole owner of the property, you are solely responsible for insuring both the structure and its contents. A standard homeowners insurance policy, commonly referred to as an HO3 policy, typically covers the home's structure, personal belongings, liability protection, and additional living expenses in the event of a covered loss. When selecting a homeowners insurance policy, it is essential to consider the specific risks associated with the Glenburn area. Factors such as the region's weather patterns, proximity to water bodies, and other local risks should be taken into account to obtain adequate coverage. Additionally, homeowners may want to consider purchasing additional endorsements or riders to their policy to cover specific risks such as floods, earthquakes, or valuable personal belongings. Key Factors to Consider: Regardless of whether you are purchasing a condo or a single-family home in Glenburn, several factors should be considered when selecting an insurance policy. These include: Coverage Limits: Ensure that your policy provides adequate coverage to rebuild or repair your property in case of damage or loss. Deductibles: Understand the deductibles associated with your policy and assess your ability to pay them out of pocket in the event of a claim. Liability Protection: Evaluate the liability coverage provided by the policy to protect yourself in case of accidents or injuries occurring on your property. Additional Coverage: Consider additional endorsements or riders to cover specific risks that may not be included in the standard policy. By understanding the differences in insurance needs between Glenburn condos and single-family homes, you can make an informed decision and secure the appropriate coverage for your investment. Consult with an experienced insurance agent who can guide you through the intricacies of insurance policies, ensuring that you have the necessary protection to safeguard your property and belongings. |

A concern with any holster revolves around retention. Most concealment holsters rely on the inherent tension between the body and the belt to hold the firearm snug, or the holster itself is molded to a specific firearm to keep things in place.
The Safariland ALS Paddle Holster approaches retention with the company's "ALS"—Automatic Locking System—series. A simple inward press with the strong hand thumb as the draw commences releases the locking mechanism that keeps the firearm secure otherwise. The ALS holster is IDPA approved and comes with a belt loop back that can be swapped for the paddle. A tension screw allows for adjustments that allow effortless draws (once the locking mechanism is disengaged, of course).
In use, the ALS takes a few tries to get used to, but once a small amount of practice has been made it becomes second nature. Attempts to remove the handgun from the holster by force or movement were completely unsuccessful. Should the wearer be so inclined (and capable), cartwheels would be unlikely to dislodge one's chosen firearm from the ALS holster.
