Besides being at the top of the list of many people's favorite foods, they are all possible sources of trans fats. Trans fats are oils that have been chemically-altered (through a process called hydrogenation) from their original liquid states, into solid shortening. The process increases the shelf life of the oil and improves the texture of the food to which the oil is added. However, when you add those foods to your grocery cart, you're increasing your risk of heart disease because trans fats are artery-clogging professionals. In fact, the Nurse's Health Study of 80,000 women found that a 2% increase in trans fat consumption increased a woman's risk of heart disease by 93%. Take a stroll down the cookie or snack aisle of your local grocery store and you'll see "No Trans Fat" or "Now with Zero Trans Fats" splattered all over food packages. If you find yourself wondering what the heck trans fat is, how it got into your food in the first place, or why it's gone now, then read on to find the answers to these questions and more. What is trans fat? Trans fat is created through a process called hydrogenation, which adds hydrogen molecules to highly unsaturated (liquid) oil, such as vegetable oil, corn oil, or soybean oil. After hydrogenation, the oil is called "partially hydrogenated" when listed on the package's ingredients list, and it contains trans fats. Why do manufacturers use hydrogenated oils? Years ago, manufacturers predominately used animal fats such as lard, beef tallow, and butter when making baked and fried foods. Later, when scientists discovered that these saturated fats contributed to heart disease and "bad" (LDL) cholesterol levels, food companies started looking for alternatives to these saturated fats. Hydrogenation makes oils more stable and solid at room temperature. This improves the baking characteristics of the liquid oil as well as the taste and texture of the end product. Partially hydrogenated oil provided a good alternative when it came to taste, texture, and stability, and manufacturers started using these oils instead of animal fats. Years later, scientists discovered that both saturated fat and trans fat increase the risk for heart disease. Which products contain partially hydrogenated oil and trans fat? Food products that contain trans fat include vegetable shortenings, harder stick margarines, crackers, candies, cookies, snack foods, fried foods, doughnuts, pastries, baking mixes and icings, and store-bought baked goods. You may think that trans fat primarily comes from margarine, but margarine accounts for less than 20% of the trans fat in the average American's diet. Some meats and dairy products naturally contain small amounts of trans fat. How can I tell if a food contains trans fat? Even though trans fats are bad for your health, and about 40% of foods on supermarket shelves contain them. To help consumers reduce the amount of trans fat in their diets, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) required food companies to list the grams of trans fat that a food contains on the Nutrition Facts label. This requirement began in January 2006. But if the particular package you're perusing entered interstate commerce before the law took effect, then the label may not be accurate. How can a food list zero grams of trans fat on the label, but still contain partially hydrogenated oil in its ingredients? Currently, the FDA's label regulations state that when one serving of a product contains less than 0.5 grams of any nutrient (including trans fat), then the amount is considered nutritionally insignificant and can be expressed a "0 grams" on the Nutrition Facts label. So in this case, the product contains less than 0.5 grams of trans fat per serving. While it may not seem like a lot, when you consume more than one serving in a sitting, or more than one serving of that food over time, it can really add up. If the word "hydrogenated" appears in the Ingredients list, does that automatically mean that the food contains trans fat? Not always. "Partially hydrogenated" oils DO contain some amount of trans fat, but fully "hydrogenated" oils become predominantly saturated fat and do NOT contain trans fat. These fats are included in the saturated fat listing on the Nutrition Facts label. Do restaurant foods contain trans fat? While food companies are required to list trans fat on their labels and are working to find healthier substitutions, the restaurant industry has not received the pressure to change. Many restaurants prefer to fry their foods using partially hydrogenated oils, resulting in a high trans fat content in the food. For now, the best way to avoid trans and saturated fats when dining out is to skip the fried foods, including French fries and all fried vegetables, fish, seafood, chicken, appetizers, and pastries. You can also ask for an ingredients list and find out what kind of oil is used for frying or cooking. Some restaurants that voluntarily list their nutrition facts online or in print also include trans fat contents of their foods. Is there a guideline or limit on how many grams of trans fat we should consume? Although scientific reports have confirmed a relationship between trans fat and an increased risk of coronary heart disease, researchers have not yet established a reference value for trans fat. Instead, they are advising consumers to eat as little trans fat as possible. One study published in the journal Food and Nutrition Research found that eating more than five grams of trans fat per day can increase your risk of heart disease by 29 percent. When comparing foods at the store, choose the food that is lower in saturated fat, trans fat, and cholesterol. But you can still have your cake, eat it, and have a healthy heart too. Just avoid products that list partially hydrogenated vegetable oil or shortening as an ingredient. Your heart will thank you! |

In January, we reported how the deaths of NBA legend Kobe Bryant (Kobe) and his 13-year-old daughter, Brianna, in a helicopter crash demonstrated the vital need for estate planning for people of all ages. At the time, little was known about the planning strategies Kobe had in place to protect and preserve his estimated $600 million estate for his wife, Vanessa, and three surviving daughters, Natalia, 17, Bianka, 3, and Capri, 7 months.
Since then, court filings made by Kobe's widow have shed light on both the successes and failures of Kobe's estate planning efforts. On the positive side, Kobe created an extensive estate plan, which included the Kobe Bryant Trust to protect his assets, reduce estate-tax liability, and pass on his wealth to his family.
While the contents of trust remain private, the court documents do provide a summary of the trust's terms. Upon Kobe's death, the trust was set up to allow Vanessa and her daughters to draw from the principal and income of the trust's assets during Vanessa's lifetime, with the remainder going to their children upon Vanessa's death.
However, while the trust lists Vanessa and his oldest daughters Natalia, Brianna (who died in the crash with her father), and Bianka as beneficiaries, his youngest daughter, Capri, who was born just six months before Kobe's death, was not included in the document. Reportedly, Kobe and his lawyers simply never got around to adding Capri to the trust before his untimely death at age 41.
A tragic oversight
Seeking to fix this oversight, Vanessa Bryant and Kobe's best friend Robert Pelinka, Jr.—who were named Co-Trustees—petitioned the Los Angeles probate court to modify the trust by adding Capri as a beneficiary with equal rights as her sisters. Unless the court agrees with the petition, Capri will be ineligible to inherit her share of the family estate held in the trust, which could amount to wealth and assets worth hundreds of millions of dollars.
According to the petition, the trust was created in 2003 after the birth of the couple's first child, Natalia, and its intent was to provide for the support of Vanessa and all of the couple's children following Kobe's death. As evidence of this intent, the petition points out the fact that Kobe amended the trust to add daughters Brianna and Bianka after they were born.
Although it's likely the court will agree to the trust's modification to include Capri, the fact remains that Kobe and his legal team made a major error by not updating his plan immediately following her birth. This mistake has undoubtedly cost Vanessa not only hefty sums of money in lawyer fees and court costs, but it also eliminated the trust's biggest benefits by failing to keep Kobe's surviving family members out of court and conflict, as well as exposing the estate's details to the public.
And the most unfortunate part of the whole situation is just how easily this oversight could have been avoided.
Stay up to date
It's a popular myth that estate planning is simply a matter of creating the proper documents, filing those documents away for safekeeping, and only revisiting them upon the creator's incapacity or death. However, this is far from the truth. Indeed, this oversight by Kobe's lawyers illustrates why most plans—even those created by multi-millionaires—fail to keep families out of court and out of conflict when it's too late. And though Kobe's family can easily absorb these costs, your family probably can't without significant impact.
As Kobe's case shows, even the most well-intentioned plan can prove ineffective if it's not regularly updated. Estate planning is not a one-and-done type of deal—your plan must continuously evolve to keep pace with changes in your family structure, the legal landscape, your assets, and your life goals.
And unfortunately, this kind of thing happens all the time. In fact, outside of not creating any estate plan at all, one of the most common planning mistakes we encounter is when we get called by the loved ones of someone who has become incapacitated or died with a plan that no longer works because it hasn't been updated. Yet, by the time they contact us, it's too late.
We recommend you review your plan annually to make sure it's up to date, and immediately modify your plan following events like births, deaths, divorce, and inheritances. We have built-in systems and processes to ensure your plan is always up to date, so you won't need to worry about forgetting anything.
Mapping your assets
You should also create—and regularly update—an inventory of all your assets, including digital property like cryptocurrency, photos, videos, and social media accounts. By doing this, your family will know what you have and how to find everything if something happens to you, and none of your assets will end up in our state's Department of Unclaimed Property.
We will not only help you create a comprehensive asset inventory, we'll make sure it stays regularly updated throughout your lifetime. And with the COVID-19 pandemic still raging, creating such an inventory is something you should take care of immediately.
In fact, this task is so urgent, we've created a unique (and totally FREE) tool called a Personal Resource Map to help you get the inventory process started right now, by yourself, without the need for a lawyer. To learn more, visit PersonalResourceMap.com which will help you create an inventory of everything you own to ensure your loved one's know what you have, where it is, and how to access it if something happens to you.
As Kobe's sad story illustrates, death and illness can strike at any time, and even the most extensive estate plan can fail without the proper systems in place to keep it updated. To ensure your plan works exactly as intended for the ones you love most, contact us today to review and update your current plan, or create one if you have yet to do so.
Proper estate planning can keep your family out of conflict, out of court, and out of the public eye. If you're ready to create a comprehensive estate plan, contact us to schedule your Family Wealth Planning Session. Even if you already have a plan in place, we will review it and help you bring it up to date to avoid heartache for your family. Schedule online today.

A Seventh-day Adventist School
Uriah was a Hittite who worshipped the God of Israel. His name means "light of Yahweh" or "flame of God."
Uriah joined Israel's army and became one of David's elite soldiers. He was very faithful in his duties, to God, the king, his army commander and to Israel at large. In 2 Samuel 11, we read the story of how King David committed adultery with Uriah's wife Bathsheba and later had him killed in battle as a cover-up when Bathsheba became pregnant.
10 things we can learn about Uriah the Hittite
Hittites were the descendants of Heth, who was the son of Canaan according to Genesis 10:15. And, Genesis 15:20 tells us that the land of the Hittites was part of the promised land for the Israelites.
So Uriah could be one of those who surrendered and joined the Israelites after the Hittites were conquered and displaced from their land (1 Samuel 11:3). But originally, they were not worshippers of the God of Israel. That's why when Esau married a Hittite woman, his mother, Rebecca, was displeased (see Genesis 26:34, 27:46).
From the fact that he was a Hittite who had a Hebrew name, Uriah must have changed his religion and nationality. Especially because his name reflects a belief in the God of Israel.
Uriah's zeal to serve the true God is further shown in his work as a soldier for Israel.
Uriah joined the army of Israel to fight against the enemies of Israel. That means that he would possibly end up fighting even his own people, the Hittites. This is because the Hittites were considered enemies of Israel. Actually, Israel had been commanded to "utterly destroy them" among other tribes. Yet Uriah joined the army still and served faithfully (Deuteronomy 20:17).
Uriah did not just become a soldier in Israel but he excelled to become one of David's 37 mighty, elite men of war (2 Samuel 23:8-39).That means he had demonstrated special achievements in other previous battles.
He addressed King David and Joab, the Captain of the army as "my lord". He understands their authority and doesn't treat them as equals (2 Samuel 11:11).
When David tried to take him off his duties at war and have him go home to his wife, he protested saying: "The ark and Israel and Judah are dwelling in tents, and my lord Joab and the servants of my lord are encamped in the open fields. Shall I then go to my house to eat and drink, and to lie with my wife? As you live, and as your soul lives, I will not do this thing" (2 Samuel 11:11).
His mention of the ark, Israel, the army and Joab his Captain in battle, shows his loyalty to them. Also, he could not endure the thought that the ark of God and his fellow soldiers were fighting while he was enjoying himself at home.
When asked by the king why he didn't sleep in his house, he explained himself firmly and concluded by saying, "I will not do this thing" (2 Samuel 11:11). Even when the king made him drunk, he still stuck to his belief that he shouldn't go to his house while others were at war (2 Samuel 11:12).
He stood for what was right even when it was against the king's command. This was a time when the king's word was law, and he could be punished even with death. But he chose to stand his ground.
David sent Uriah to the battlefield with a letter to Joab. A letter that gave instructions on how he would be killed. David must have been sure that Uriah was not going to open it, because he was trustworthy.
When he was called from the battlefield, he obeyed. And when David sent him back to the battlefield with a letter to Joab, the Captain of the army, he obeyed (2 Samuel 11:14,15). Still, when he was assigned by Joab to fight at the front of the hottest battle against valiant men, he obeyed, even to his death (2 Samuel 11:15-21).
Everywhere he was, and in everything he did, he did it to the glory of God, just as his name meant. His home life, his life on the battlefield, and his relationship to his leaders were all characterized by godly principles (1 Corinthians 10:31).
It is clear that God is a God of all peoples. He does not show favoritism, "He is no respecter of persons". But in every nation, he that fears Him, and works righteousness, is accepted" (Acts 10:34,35).
You too can join yourself to the Lord, to serve Him faithfully, and God will accept you no matter your background. And after this life, you are assured of eternal life "at the resurrection of the just" (Luke 14:14).
Uriah's story also gives us an important insight into God's justice. That God watches all that happens among men and He follows up each case to deliver justice to the oppressed. Though Uriah died without knowing what happened, God ensured that David was rebuked, and even faced consequences for his mistakes.
So, we too can trust "that the Lord will maintain the cause of the afflicted, and justice for the poor" (Psalm 140:12). And that was the case with Uriah. He was accepted as part of God's people and showed himself to be faithful to the end.

Cuban Singer Says Sanctioned For Bold Lyrics
In a note published on the Facebook page of his jazz-fusion combo, Interactivo, Robertico Carcasses said he was summoned by the Culture Ministry the following day and told he was barred indefinitely from performing at state-run music venues.
"That is, by being opportunistic I had hurt myself with my performance, given that I live and support my family mostly through shows in such places," Carcasses wrote.
Reached by phone earlier Monday, he declined to answer questions and said the upcoming Facebook post would contain everything he intended to say publically about the matter.
The offending performance came during a Thursday night concert organized to demand the return of the "Cuban Five" – intelligence agents sentenced to long prison terms in the United States.
Featuring an all-star lineup of Cuban musicians, held outside the U.S. diplomatic mission in Havana and beamed to televisions across the island, it was as much a national rally as a musical show.
Carcasses, 41, set tongues wagging in the capital with his improvised lyrics, in which he also complained about the difficulty of buying a car and suggested that different viewpoints from the likes of dissidents should be tolerated.
Other lines about bringing the Cuban Five home and urging Washington to lift its 51-year-old economic and financial embargo apparently weren't enough.
"I was also told I had betrayed the relatives who went there to mourn their children and fathers who are behind bars, that my ideas had nothing to do with the objective of that politico-cultural activity and my words only benefited the enemy," Carcasses wrote.
Cuban artists and intellectuals have a long track record of testing the limits of Fidel Castro's famous 1961 words about what constitutes acceptable criticism: "Within the Revolution, everything; outside the Revolution, nothing."
Musical giants like Pablo Milanes and Silvio Rodriguez have made similar or even more pointed comments about respecting dissidents' right to free expression, though perhaps not in such a high-profile forum.
In April, Roberto Zurbano, a leading cultural official, was demoted after he wrote an opinion piece for The New York Times that criticized "blatant racism" on the island. However, Zurbano refused to speculate on whether there was a direct link, and complained about the newspaper's translation and editing of his copy.
Raul Castro, who assumed the presidency from his older brother in 2006, has invited Cubans to debate his economic and social reforms and said unpopular opinions will not be punished.
Carcasses expressed regret at dragging his band mates into a difficult situation not of their making, over opinions that they may or may not share. He also apologized to the families of the Cuban Five if they took offense.
But he stood behind his comments, saying voting directly for president would not hurt Cuba's Communist political system, only make people feel better represented.
"The more I watch the video and reread what I said, I don't see why my ideas can't be reconciled with the Cuban Revolution," he said. "If we are trying to improve our system it takes the courage to risk saying what we think."

I'm happiest when I am organizing random projects. In the past few years, it was "Book Club," a group of friends who traveled from Bay Area bar to Bay Area bar tasting the best that there was to try in the artisan cocktail scene.
In the past month or so, the project has been to walk the entire length of Western Avenue in Los Angeles. This straight street is one of the longest north/south streets in Los Angeles, and runs 27 miles through San Pedro, Rancho Palos Verdes, Lomita, Carson, Torrance, Gardena, Inglewood, Baldwin Hills, South Los Angeles, Exposition Park, Koreatown, Hollywood and up to Los Feliz where it ends close to Griffith Park.
I grew up in Southern California near the San Pedro end of Western Avenue, and before this project I hadn't even walked a block on Western. We're 16 miles into the walk, and have 11 to go which will be split into two more walks. It's been super interesting to see the communities that we're traversing, and we're having a blast. I've been taking a photo every 5 minutes along the way, which has turned into the above Flickr album of 91 photos. I've been joined on all three walks thus far by my intrepid cousin Jocelyn, and Kamilah who keeps us entertained the whole way.
Highlights of the walk so far:
- A man stopping us to ask, "Are you tourists?" You know all those tourists whose life long dreams are to walk on Western Avenue? I've never met them.
- Sergeant Messina of Gardena who took it upon himself to keep us company in his squad car on our rainy day walk in the area.
- The amazing old signage that we're spying. Check out this amazing Sandy Vitale Dance Studio sign that Kamilah captured.
Let's not mention that this is my first blog post in a couple years, shall we? I'm trying to get back to it. If you miss me, you can find me on Twitter, on Pinterest, on Instagram (@jenmaiser), or on Facebook. I've been writing a lot, though mostly for non-food clients. You can, however, sometimes catch me on Bay Area Bites and Serious Eats.
I've moved out of the Bay Area! I'm currently spending a little bit of time with my amazing grandmother in Southern California. The story of the long San Francisco good-bye is a story I'll hold for another day. It was a toughreally toughleap, but I know that it was right, even if I miss some parts of San Francisco desparately.
Talk to you all soon!

. . . as apple pie
June 8, 2012–June 9, 2013
Images, like words, can trigger a cultural or emotional response to a shared national ethos. Artists have employed images—sometimes straightforwardly, often obliquely—in order to comment on a country, its people, its political or social goals, and its self-image. This exhibition explores this phenomenon through a rotating installation, drawn from the Whitney's collection, of works on paper by a diverse group of artists including Robert Bechtle, Enrique Chagoya, Howard Cook, William N. Copley, Edward Hopper, Willard Midgette, Joseph Pennell, Benton Spruance, and Stow Wengenroth.
. . . as apple pie is organized by David Kiehl, Curator, Prints.


text: There are four phases to emergency management. One phase is mitigation. This phase includes any activity that is geared towards preventing an emergency, reducing the chance of an emergency occurring, or reducing the effects of those emergencies that are unavoidable. An example of mitigation is purchasing flood insurance for your home. Mitigation occurs before and after the incident. Another phase of Emergency Management is preparedness. This phase is where the response plans are developed and the training exercises are conducted. Examples of preparedness are developing evacuation plans and stocking supplies such as food an water. This phase occurs before the emergency occurs. Once an emergency occurs the response phase becomes active. This phase will include actions taken to save lives, stabilize the incident to prevent it from getting worse, and conserve property. Response can also include evacuation to shelters and providing mass care to those affected. The response phase takes the preparedness plans and puts them into action. This phase occurs during the emergency. Finally, there is the recovery phase. This phase occurs after the emergency and includes any economic recovery, debris management, temporary or permanent housing, and health and social services. Essentially these are actions taken to return the area to normal or make it an even safer situation. An example of this would be acquiring financial assistance to help pay for damage repair. Please visit the emergency management section under municipal code to view the Village responsibilities during emergencies.

Episode-1052- The Need for Skill Set Development in a Changing World
Podcast: Play in new window | Download (17.3MB)
Today we announced a new feature to 13skills.com that will improve interaction among members. This got me thinking that while I often talk about our need to improve skills (specifically hard skills) I have not ever really done a dedicated show specifically going into the actual reasons that such skills are so important.
Our modern age has lulled us to sleep but most people that listen to TSP are aware that major changes are not just coming, in many ways they are happening right now, in front of our eyes. We live in a society where people "call a guy" far more often then fixing things themselves. We teach our children to avoid phyical work at all costs and are devolving into tablet and phone based society.
I personally love technology but consider that we teach a student basic addition, subtraction, multiplication and division prior to empowering them with a calculator. Should we not also teach young drivers to use street signs and read a map before giving them a GPS application?
I also have some follow up from yesterday, one issue I seem to have been very wrong about in regard to college and I wish to make it right and something very dangerous in the so called "NRA Members Gun Safety Act" I left out yesterday.
Join Me Today as We Discuss…
Follow Up From Episode 1051
- Listener's weigh in on the value of community college even with advanced degree pursuit
- Why the no fly list and terror watch lists do NOT belong in the gun control debate
On Today's Main Topic
- What a faltering economy or economic collapse means in regard to skills
- Hard skills vs. soft skills and why we need to emphasize hard skills on some levels
- How we lost our skills as modern Americans
- Why we actually feel fulfilled and good about ourselves by building up our skills
- Why you should focus on the skills that interest you but also challenge you
- How the loss of skills is directly related to our loss of liberty
- Why responsibilities must be part of our rights if we are to retain said rights
- Why real teachers don't create students but new teachers
- What have you done with your dash, what will you leave behind

Building Basic Formulas in Excel 2013
- Understanding Formula Basics
- Understanding Operator Precedence
- Controlling Worksheet Calculation
- Copying and Moving Formulas
- Displaying Worksheet Formulas
- Converting a Formula to a Value
- Working with Range Names in Formulas
- Working with Links in Formulas
- Formatting Numbers, Dates, and Times
- From Here
A worksheet is merely a lifeless collection of numbers and text until you define some kind of relationship among the various entries. You do this by creating formulas that perform calculations and produce results. This chapter takes you through some formula basics, including constructing simple arithmetic and text formulas, understanding the all-important topic of operator precedence, copying and moving worksheet formulas, and making formulas easier to build and read by taking advantage of range names.
Understanding Formula Basics
Most worksheets are created to provide answers to specific questions: What is the company's profit? Are expenses over or under budget, and by how much? What is the future value of an investment? How big will an employee's bonus be this year? You can answer these questions, and an infinite variety of others, by using Excel formulas.
All Excel formulas have the same general structure: an equal sign (=) followed by one or more operands, which can be values, cell references, ranges, range names, or function names, separated by one or more operators, which are symbols that combine the operands in some way, such as the plus sign (+) and the greater-than sign (>).
Formula Limits in Excel 2013
It's a good idea to know the limits Excel sets on various aspects of formulas and worksheet models, even though it's unlikely that you'll ever bump up against these limits. Formula limits that were expanded in Excel 2007 remain the same in Excel 2013. So if you're coming to Excel 2013 from Excel 2003 or earlier,Table 3.1 shows you the updated limits.
Table 3.1. Formula-Related Limits in Excel 2013
Object |
Excel 2013 Maximum |
Excel 2013 Maximum |
Rows |
16,384 |
1,024 |

1,048,576 |
32,768 |
→ Formula nesting levels refers to the number of expressions that are nested within other expressions using parentheses; see "Controlling the Order of Precedence," p. 58.
Entering and Editing Formulas
Entering a new formula into a worksheet appears to be a straightforward process:
- Select the cell in which you want to enter the formula.
- Type an equal sign (=) to tell Excel that you're entering a formula.
- Type the formula's operands and operators.
- Press Enter to confirm the formula.
However, Excel has three different input modes that determine how it interprets certain keystrokes and mouse actions:
- When you type the equal sign to begin the formula, Excel goes into Enter mode, which is the mode you use to enter text (such as the formula's operands and operators).
- If you press any keyboard navigation key (such as Page Up, Page Down, or any arrow key), or if you click any other cell in the worksheet, Excel enters Point mode. This is the mode you use to select a cell or range as a formula operand. When you're in Point mode, you can use any of the standard range-selection techniques. Note that Excel returns to Enter mode as soon as you type an operator or any character.
- If you press F2, Excel enters Edit mode, which is the mode you use to make changes to the formula. For example, when you're in Edit mode, you can use the left and right arrow keys to move the cursor to another part of the formula for deleting or inserting characters. You can also enter Edit mode by clicking anywhere within the formula. Press F2 to return to Enter mode.
After you've entered a formula, you might need to return to it to make changes. Excel gives you three ways to enter Edit mode and make changes to a formula in the selected cell:
- Press F2.
- Double-click the cell.
- Use the formula bar to click anywhere inside the formula text.
Excel divides formulas into four groups: arithmetic, comparison, text, and reference. Each group has its own set of operators, and you use each group in different ways. In the next few sections, I show you how to use each type of formula.
Using Arithmetic Formulas
Arithmetic formulas are by far the most common type of formula. They combine numbers, cell addresses, and function results with mathematical operators to perform calculations. Table 3.2 summarizes the mathematical operators used in arithmetic formulas.
Table 3.2. The Arithmetic Operators
Operator |
Name |
Example |
Result |
− |
Subtraction |
=10-5 |
5 |
* |
Multiplication |
=10*5 |
50 |
% |
Percentage |
=10% |
0.1 |
Most of these operators are straightforward, but the exponentiation operator might require further explanation. The formula =x^y means that the value x is raised to the power y. For example, the formula =3^2 produces the result 9 (that is, 3*3=9). Similarly, the formula =2^4 produces 16 (that is, 2*2*2*2=16).
Using Comparison Formulas
A comparison formula is a statement that compares two or more numbers, text strings, cell contents, or function results. If the statement is true, the result of the formula is given the logical value TRUE (which is equivalent to any nonzero value). If the statement is false, the formula returns the logical value FALSE (which is equivalent to zero). Table 3.3 summarizes the operators you can use in comparison formulas.
Table 3.3. Comparison Formula Operators
Operator |
Name |
Example |
Result |
> |
Greater than |
=10>5 |
>= |
Greater than or equal to |
="a">="b" |
<> |
Not equal to |
="a"<>"b" |
Comparison formulas have many uses. For example, you can determine whether to pay a salesperson a bonus by using a comparison formula to compare actual sales with a predetermined quota. If the sales are greater than the quota, the rep is awarded the bonus. You also can monitor credit collection. For example, if the amount a customer owes is more than 150 days past due, you might send the invoice to a collection agency.
→ Comparison formulas also make use of Excel's logical functions, so see "Adding Intelligence with Logical Functions," p. 163.
Using Text Formulas
The two types of formulas that I discussed in the previous sections, arithmetic formulas and comparison formulas, calculate or make comparisons and return values. However, a text formula is a formula that returns text. Text formulas use the ampersand (&) operator to work with text cells, text strings enclosed in quotation marks, and text function results.
One way to use text formulas is to concatenate text strings. For example, if you enter the formula ="soft"&"ware" into a cell, Excel displays software. Note that the quotation marks and the ampersand aren't shown in the result. You also can use & to combine cells that contain text. For example, if A1 contains the text Ben and A2 contains Jerry, entering the formula =A1&" and " &A2 returns Ben and Jerry.
→ For other uses of text formulas, see Chapter 7, "Working with Text Functions."
Using Reference Formulas
The reference operators combine two cell references or ranges to create a single joint reference. Table 3.4 summarizes the operators you can use in reference formulas.
Table 3.4. Reference Formula Operators
Operator |
Name |
Description |
(space) |
Intersection |
Produces a range that is the intersection of two ranges (for example, A1:C5 B2:E8) |

Of Good Morrility
I suggested early in this series that Boswell's referencing Dr. Johnson's comments on the dual existence of physical truth and moral truth applied to the 18th century treatment of Shakespeare's authorship. One of the primary movers of Shakespeare as myth was David Garrick. The other primary mover was the village of Stratford-upon-Avon. The moral component of our story is alluded to in the denouements for both High Life Below Stairs and Bon Ton, High Life Above Stairs and that moral component is a primary feature of the George Daniels' Remarks printed with the 1826 acting copy of the play. Let's review these three sources.
Below Stairs:
Lovell. And I intend to make your Robert so, too. Every honest servant should be made happy ; and if persons of rank would act up to their standard, it would be impossible that their servants could ape them ; — but when they affect every thing that is ridiculous, it will be in the power of any low creature to follow their example.
In Below Stairs, we learn that persons of rank have not acted up to their standard, and that they affect everything that is ridiculous, and that is the reason they've been aped by their servants.
Above Stairs:
Sir JOHN. • • •• You must meet your lawyers and creditors to-morrow, and be told, what you have always turn'd a deaf ear to, that the dissipation of your fortune and morals must be followed by years of parsimony and repentance — as you are fond of going abroad you may indulge that inclination without haying it in your power to indulge any other.Lord MINIKIN. The bumkin is no fool, and is damn'd satirical
Sir JOHN. This kind of quarantine for pestilential minds will bring you to your senses, and make you renounce foreign vices and follies, and return with joy to your country and property again— read that, my Lord, and know your fate. {Gives a paper.}
In Above Stairs we learn of Lord Minikin's dissipated morals and foreign vices.
In his Remarks attached to the acting copy of Below Stairs in 1826 George Daniel begins.
Had the threat been content to exhibit good examples only, this farce would, in all probability, have never been written—
The author italicizes "good." The implication is that the farce is occasioned by a specific reality, and not a general one. My series has already seen a critic on the internet claim that the play is a generalized spoof on behavior. Daniel is letting us know this farce would likely never had been written if specific history were different.
" 'Tis from high life, high characters are drawn and, we may add, low characters into the bargain ; for what are My Lord Duke's and Sir Henry's servants, My Lady Bab's and My Lady Charlotte's maids, but assumptions of the airs and affectation, as well as of the titles of their superiors? In deed, " High Life below Stairs" is, in many respects, a picture of high life above stairs. Since the production of this piece, the wheel has revolved; and we have seen men of rank emulating the dress, the manners, and the language of grooms and stable-boys.
In talking of the excesses of the upper class in aping the lower class, Daniel cites the example (his use of "since" places it as contemporary) of men of rank emulating the dress, manners and language of grooms and stable boys." Daniel writing in the early 19th century about stable boys calls to mind the 18th century legend that Shakespeare held horses outside the theater. But the more specific allusion is to Ben Jonson't The New Inn of 1629. In that play, a nobleman in disguise operates an inn where "all the world's a stage." The disguised nobleman does not dress the part of an innkeeper. Rather he is dressed in "the horse-boy's garb." Of course, the idea of a nobleman dressed as a stable-boy is ridiculous. But we have George Daniel saying it happened (he's hiding the timing, obviously) and we also have Ben Jonson portraying it on stage. Moreoever, we have Rev. Townley telling us that the behavior in question that was aped was "ridiculous." Let's continue with Daniel's remarks.
Folly, in the abstract, is not over entertaining. A silly, extravagant Lord is, doubtless, a legitimate subject for laughter with those who have rioted at his expense; and plebeian absurdity is vastly comical in its congealment, the kitchen : but let each party step out of his proper sphere; let the lacquey ape the nobleman, and the nobleman the lacquey, and a ludicrous effect is produced. It is in the degree of awkwardness that characterizes each attempt, that the drollery consists. Nobility is but a superficial gilding. If a Lord be distinguished by no other mark of high birth but his title — "his dukedom to a beggarly denier"— that title will hardly serve to shield him from contempt.
Were we inclined to moralize, we might enter into a long and serious discussion on the extravagance, the idleness, and the cupidity of servants in noble families ; and we might, in sober sadness, caution all noble families how they trusted their property in such questionable hands. But then, in justice, we should be compelled to declare, that man is an imitative Being ; that he insensibly imbibes the manners, the tastes; and the sentiments of those above him ; which would infallibly produce a grave and somewhat prolix exhortation on the other side of the question; touching good example, dignified conduct, moral rectitude. But we invade no one's province. When a dramatic parson once waited upon Garrick, with proposals for a commentary on Shakspeare, David exclaimed, " Spoil your own bible, sir; but, for heaven's sake, don't meddle with ours!" Let every man labour in his vocation — criticising , not sermonising, is our forte. The stage, while it continues to hold the mirror up to nature, is a national benefit, and merits the support of all well-regulated governments. A happy stroke of satire is, generally speaking, a more powerful weapon than a solemn exhortation; and, without admitting to the full extent, that ridicule is the test of truth, it is our decided opinion, that vice is sooner laughed than scolded out of countenance. A bad man may endure reproach, but who shall withstand ridicule? Dr. Akenside. in his " Pleasures of Imagination," has very ingeniously argued this point ; and our great moral poet exultingly exclaims " Yes, I am proud ; I must be proud to see Men not afraid of God, afraid of me : Safe from the bar, the pulpit, and the throne, Yet touch* d and sham'd by ridicule alone."
Daniel's "were we inclined to moralize" is followed by him moralizing. Daniel argues for wielding the weapon of satire at "a bad man" The "moral poet" Pope, is quoted. Daniel states the stage merits the "support of all well-regulated governments" perhaps a nod to the implicit semi-censorship of the "Who wrote Shikspur?" joke between stage and print edition.
Daniel quotes that Miss Kitty knows "good morility" in his remarks. Here's Miss Kitty's comment in context.
Sir Harry's Servant. Why, any fool may be born to a title, but only a wise man can make himself honourable.
Miss Kittty. Well said, Sir Harry, that is good morility.
Again, it is the titled man who does not make himself honourable that is the target of this farce.
Daniel quotes Shakespeare's Richard III, "his dukedom to a beggarly denier," an accurate description of Vere's loss of artistic identity to Shaksper.
There are two Shakespeare truths circulating in the 18th and early 19th century. The moral truth, where Shakespeare is stripped of the true author's dishonor, dissipated morals and foreign vices, leaving only the Stratford myth of genius, only promulgated beginning with the Jubilee in 1769. The physical truth is the one alluded to in The Stairs farces. And yet, the story remains behind the shadows. The question "Who wrote Shakespeare" could be asked in print in 1759, but not answered. It could be asked on stage facetiously in 1759, but not answered seriously. Vere obviously can't be discussed at all. Lord Minikins, he of the Italianate weavings from Essex is a well disguised allusion as is Townley's "Oliver Grey." But what is being discussed is that nobleman's apparent immoral behavior.

Helping a partner during a ski descent
The second skier carries rope and equipment to create an anchor and belay, to be able to help the first skier in case of difficulty.
- Carefully read the Instructions for Use used in this technical advice before consulting the advice itself. You must have already read and understood the information in the Instructions for Use to be able to understand this supplementary information.
- Mastering these techniques requires specific training. Work with a professional to confirm your ability to perform these techniques safely and independently before attempting them unsupervised.
- We provide examples of techniques related to your activity. There may be others that we do not describe here.
Belaying off a snow anchor
If no natural anchor is available (rock horn, tree...), create a deadman with your ice axe. After tethering yourself, you can throw the rope with an attached carabiner so that the first skier can easily attach him/herself.
Do not belay directly off an anchor of questionable strength.
The belayer is tethered to the anchor, keeping the tether taut to reduce the chance of shock loading (consider the CONNECT ADJUST for this usage). The belayer takes a braced stance, possibly on a platform dug in the snow, and belays off the harness. Belaying is done with a Munter hitch as it offers adequate friction in any position. Warning: do not belay off the harness using a REVERSO, without a redirect: the rope and hand positions do not allow for adequate braking.
Belaying off a natural anchor
If a solid natural anchor is available, the operation may go faster. The anchor can be used to redirect the rope, making for a more comfortable belay position and enabling use of the REVERSO.
Movement of the second
On a fixed natural anchor, the second can set up a rappel to descend the difficult section. Otherwise, s/he should downclimb.

My new book In Hostile Waters - The Cruise of USS Argus
is now available!
In 1813, United States Brig of War, Argus, commanded by W. Henry Allen, was tasked with carrying
the U.S. Minister to France. Following the safe delivery of the minister, Argus was ordered to
sail into British waters and become a commerce raider for as long as possible. Obviously,
an open ended commission and one inherently perilous. Oliver Baldwin (The Greater the Honor, In Pursuit of Glory)
sails as 1st Lieutenant. Edward Ballantyne (When Fortune Frowns, Gun Bay) commands the British
ship sent to stop them. White's well-known style of intermingling real historical characters
with a few fictitious ones makes for a riveting read and, at the same time, enables the
reader to learn a bit about one of the most heroic and little-known naval events of the War of 1812.
BUY NOW in paperback or Kindle Edition at
. We are sure you will enjoy it!

We will update this space with information on Mr. White's upcoming book signings as we learn of them.

We have seen what rampant liberalism can do after these three-and-a-half years of misery. The left pushes an agenda that punishes success in order to spread the wealth around. It is important to know how some on the left operates:
1. President Obama
Give the former community organizer a second term in office and see the havoc that will follow. Unrestrained by political concerns, expect every possible left-wing policy to be enacted by executive order or through agency regulations. He already has taken us half-way to bureaucratic Gomorrah with his Obamacare travesty. The president has fulfilled his promise to transform America by making us more dependent on government.
2. George Soros
Most of the liberal infrastructure has been funded by financier George Soros. He has helped keep afloat such left-wing mainstays as Media Matters, Center for American Progress and Moveon.org., and donated heavily to the National Council of La Raza and Planned Parenthood. Funny how you don???t hear the left complain about the political influence of deep-pocketed donors when it comes to the billionaire sugar daddy for progressives.
3. Mainstream media
Led by the New York Times and the Washington Post, the mainstream media???which forgot to vet the presidential candidacy of Barack Obama in 2008???are making sure that no stone is left unturned when it comes to Mitt Romney. From Romney???s high school antics to his wife???s equestrian hobby, the supposedly objective media are trying to make scandals out of triviality while shedding no lights on a failed administration.
4. Harry Reid
The Senate majority leader is dangerous because he is virtually inert. The upper chamber passes nothing of consequence while sitting on bills passed by the House. Under his leadership, the Senate has not produced a budget in years???disregarding a statutory duty. Reid???s inaction fits right into Obama???s strategy of attacking a ???do-nothing Congress.???
5. Eric Holder
Under siege in the Fast and Furious scandal, the attorney general has dropped all pretenses and is brazenly using the DoJ to pursue a political agenda. The department filed suit against Arizona???s immigration law and Texas??? voter ID law and Holder continually plays the race card to excuse his power grabs. As the contempt of Congress charge plays out, expect Holder to play hardball and lash out at critics.
6. Hollywood stars
With George Clooney and Sarah Jessica Parker hosting Obama fundraisers, Hollywood is mobilizing to get Obama reelected. Michael Moore, Barbra Streisand, Alec Baldwin and others love to lecture the rest of us about global warming and the evils of Wall Street. How about boycotting a movie with a known progressive as the star?
7. Lisa Jackson
The Environmental Protection Agency, under the direction of Lisa Jackson, is moving to control aspects of daily life in ways never imagined when the agency was formed. From enacting rules to combat global warming to regulating workplace dust, the EPA is pushing an agenda that couldn???t get through Congress even when Democrats controlled it.
8. Big Labor
With pro-union Hilda Solis heading the Labor Department and the National Labor Relations Board stacked in its favor, President Obama has returned the favor for the support Big Labor supplied for his election. He will need the unions even more in order to return for a second term. With the rest of his base lagging in enthusiasm, it will take the dedication of paid-union goons to get out the vote.
9. Janet Napolitano
For all the yapping from progressives about President George W. Bush???s disregard for the Constitution and the evils of the PATRIOT Act, there is little being said about the vast expansion of the Department of Homeland Security under Secretary Janet Napolitano. From groping Transportation Safety Administration workers to drones monitoring America, the massive agency is increasingly eroding our freedoms while trying to protect them.
10. Nancy Pelosi
It will take years, if not decades, to undo the damage done by the spending spree during Pelosi???s tenure as speaker of the House. From 2006 to 2010, the nation racked up trillions of dollars in debt, largely due to spending bills initiated by Pelosi???s Democratic House majority. And without her strong-armed tactics, Obamacare never would have become law. Let us make sure in November that there is not a second act for a Speaker Pelosi.
