Expectations vs. Reality
Predicting exactly what your retirement will be like is about as possible as a meteorologist predicting the weather correctly every single time. In fact, few retirees find their financial futures playing out precisely as they assumed. But, understanding some of the more common assumptions about retirement may help you get closer to your goal than most.
Do retirees actually "outlive" their money?
Generations ago, as people retired, many lived in dire straits, sometimes "down to their last dime," which led to the creation of Social Security. Today, Social Security is still around and a common supplement to one's retirement strategy. True, health crises can sometimes impoverish retirees, but working with a financial professional may even help you prepare for this hard-to-anticipate cost.
Retiring on 70-80% of your end salary may not be feasible
A quick internet search reveals all sorts of sources instructing new retirees should strive to retire on 70-80% of their end salary, but it can be a tough one to achieve.
Most new retirees often want to travel, explore new pursuits, learn some hobbies, and finally get around to those things they had put off when they were too busy with work. So, in the first few years, some may spend roughly as much as they did before retirement.
For many retirees, median household spending increases on the way to a retirement transition. But, with a smart financial strategy, the annual median household spending in retirement tends to decline after age 65.1
Practice makes perfect, even in retirement
On average, households headed by those older than 65 spend 28% less annually than younger households (a difference of more than $15,000). While healthcare spending increases in retirement, other household costs decline, particularly transportation and housing expenses.1
Retirement may arrive earlier than expected
Most people retire closer to age 60 than age 70. Believe it or not, the average retirement age for current workers is 66. That means you could find yourself claiming Social Security earlier than you expected if only to avert drawing down your retirement savings too quickly.2
Living the life you want
In general, American retirees seem to have it pretty good. A recent survey found that 7 in 10 retirees are confident they will have enough money saved to live comfortably throughout retirement.3
Remain flexible in retirement
Your retirement may differ slightly or even greatly from the retirement you have imagined. Fortunately, it may be possible to create a flexible retirement strategy with the help of a financial professional. It's never too late to start!

Ranking the Most Successful Male Clay Court Players of the Modern Era 1
Heading into the French Open, the second major of the season, most players prepare diligently for their final hurrah on clay. It remains as probably the least understood and least appreciated of the court surfaces players endure each year.
If the truth be told, players who learn to play on clay and who embrace the surface's forgiving nature generally become better, more successful all-around players than those who learn the game on grass or hard courts.
The typical clay court player excels in patience by learning how to develop points as well as excellent defensive skills.
For a long time it seemed that some players segregated their careers by either avoiding clay altogether or by playing exclusively on the red dirt. But with the start of the Open Era and the necessity to play on multiple surfaces, some players built successful all-court games using clay court expertise as the foundation.
These male players achieved a top ten ATP ranking, a winning percentage in excess of 70 percent on clay throughout their careers—as well as double digit title wins on clay. Most also won at least one French Open, although not all.

Caring for your baby is certainly one of the most important things you need to consider once you became a new parent. There are many things you need to take into account in order to make sure that your baby gets all the attention.
1. Make sure that you feed your baby right. Deciding on whether you should breastfeed or bottle-feed your baby greatly depends on your personal decision and what your physician recommends. However, it has been shown that breastfeeding is still the best way to nourish newborn babies. Lots of benefits can be obtained through breastfeeding. Some medical studies have determined that breastfed infants have less hypersensitivity later in life compared with those who were raised with bottle feeding. This is mainly because the mother's milk is known to contain natural enzymes and antibodies that can help fortify the baby's immunity against infirmities. Aside from this, some doctors also believed that breast milk is responsible for superior intellect as he/she grows and becomes fully developed.
2. Practical sleep aid tips for infants. Sleep is crucial for babies because it has a direct effect on the child's mental and physical growth. Newborn babies sleep for up to 17 and 18 hours a day. Parents should understand that babies sleep cycle could be pretty erratic. You may notice for a few weeks, your baby's sleep may only last from approximately 30 minutes to 3 hours, and this can vary throughout a 24 period. But by the sixth week, you should see some signs of improvement as your baby's sleep pattern becomes more structured. Newborns show signs of sleepiness by crying or rubbing their eyes. Newborns should be put down to sleep as soon as they feel sleepy. If you are not getting much sleep at night it may be a good idea to sleep when your baby does during the day if possible.
3. The proper way of bathing your newborn. Newborn babies need not be bathed on a daily basis. Bathing them two to three times a week is enough. Bathe your baby using sponge baths. This is imperative at first. Tub bathing your baby can only be done once the baby's umbilical cord falls off to avoid infection.
4. Maintaining your baby's optimal skin care. Newborn babies have smooth and delicate skin. For this reason, it is necessary that you use products that are especially made for babies. But before buying any baby product, it is best to consult your pediatrician. Most babies develop rashes from time to time and this is perfectly normal. However, if your baby seems irritated by a rash or has a fever, you should immediately seek advice from your baby's doctor.
5. When to give the baby medicine. Like anyone else, newborn babies sometimes have special needs that require attention. When giving your baby medicine, it is important that you follow the advice of your baby's physician. You need to know how to give the right dose prescribed by the doctor. It can sometimes be advised to start the baby with a small dose to ensure there is no adverse reaction to the medication.

Don't miss these three hidden gems in Seattle
Planning a trip to Seattle and want to get off the beaten path? A Seattle local reveals the city's best-kept secrets.
Liz Johnson works at Visit Seattle and knows the Emerald City inside out. We asked Liz what her favourite less known spots are in Seattle. These are her suggestions.
Washington State Ferry
The largest commuter ferry network in the United State, the green-and-white ferries connect Seattle to a variety of island communities around Puget Sound. Hop on board to explore beaches, local food and drink, stunning vistas and the slower pace of Bainbridge, Vashon Island and the Kitsap Peninsula. An added bonus are the picturesque views of the Seattle skyline. If you have a car, head north to Anacortes and catch the boat to the San Juan Islands, known for their abundant wildlife and outdoor recreation.
A portmanteau of the neighborhoods Fremont and Ballard, this semi-industrial area along the Lake Washington Ship Canal, is home to some of Seattle's best beer. Eleven breweries exist within the roughly six block radius, making the local beer scene easy to explore on foot. On a sunny day, pull up a seat at an outdoor picnic table and order a sampler—the best way to find your new favorite beer. Some of the more popular breweries are Reuben's Brews, Stoup Brewing and Bad Jimmy's, each offering classic beers along with their own craft stylings. If you get hungry along the way, many of the breweries bring a rotating array of local food trucks to their taprooms.
Volunteer Park
Avoid the crowds at Kerry Park and get your picture of the Space Needle and the Seattle skyline from Volunteer Park. Tucked into the hip Capitol Hill neighborhood, this 48-acre park offers plenty of green spaces and paths to stroll. Visit the Seattle Asian Art Museum, part of the Seattle Art Museum complex, the check out Black Sun, a sculpture by Isamu Noguchi rumored to be the inspiration for Seattle-born Soundgarden's "Black Hole Sun". Nearby, you'll also find the Volunteer Park Conservatory greenhouse and the grave of martial artist Bruce Lee, who spent many years in Seattle.

Praise be to Allah.
Types of video games
The one who looks at these games will see that they are based on mental skills and individual reactions or decisions. These games are of various types, with many aspects. Some of them take the form of illusionary battles which train a person in what to do in similar circumstances [in real life].
Some other games are based on being alert so as to save oneself from danger; fighting enemies and destroying targets; planning; having adventures; finding the way out of a labyrinth; escaping from wild beasts; racing cars, planes, etc.; overcoming obstacles; searching for treasure.
Some games increase knowledge and enhance one's interests, such as games that involve taking things apart and putting them back together, jigsaw puzzles, building things, colouring, and shading and lighting.
Are video games haram?
Islam does not forbid leisure or having fun in permissible ways. The basic rule concerning these games is that they are permissible so long as they do not get in the way of obligatory duties such as establishing prayer [i.e., praying properly and on time] and honouring one's parents, and so long as they do not include anything that is haram.
What are the forbidden elements in games?
There are, however, many haram elements in these games, such as the following:
- Games which depict wars between the people of this world (good guys) and people from the sky (bad guys), with all its implications of accusations against Allah, may He be glorified, or the noble angels.
- Games which involve sanctifying the cross or passing over or by it to gain strength, to bring one back to life or to give the player extra lives and so on. Also, games which are used for designing birthday cards as in Christian culture are also forbidden.
- Games which approve of witchcraft/magic, and which glorify witches/magicians/sorcerers, etc.
- Games which are based on hatred of Islam and Muslims, like the game in which a player gets 100 points if he hits Makkah, 50 points if he hits Baghdad, and so on.
- Games that glorify the non-Muslims and show pride in belonging to them, like games in which if a player chooses an army belonging to a non-Muslim state he becomes strong, and if he chooses an army belonging to an Arab state he becomes weak. Also, games which teach a child to admire non-Muslim sports clubs and the names of non-Muslim players.
- Games that include depictions of nudity, and some games that allow the winner to see a pornographic picture; games that corrupt morals, such as games where the idea is to run away with a girlfriend from the bad guys or a dragon.
- Games based on ideas of gambling.
- Music and other things that are known to be forbidden in Islam.
- Physical harm, such as damage to the eyes and nervous system; harmful effects of game sounds on the ears. Modern studies have shown that these games may be addictive and harmful to the nervous system, as well as causing stress and nervous tension in children.
- Making children get used to violence and criminality, and teaching them to take killing and murder lightly, as in the famous Doom game.
- Corrupting children's sense of reality by teaching them about a world of illusions and impossible things, such as coming back from the dead, supernatural powers that do not really exist, images of space aliens, and so on.
We have gone into details about some of the ideological dangers and things that are prohibited by Islam because many fathers and mothers do not pay attention to these things, and they bring these games for their children and let them play with them.
We should also point out that it is not permissible to compete for prizes in playing these electronic games , even if the game itself is permissible, because they are not a means of jihad, and they do not help you develop strength for jihad.
And Allah knows best.

Updated Feb. 21, 11:56 a.m. ET
Coming off a shift at Tuen Mun Hospital in Hong Kong on Wednesday night, cardiologist Alfred Wong was getting ready to go to dinner with his wife. The last time they ate together, she brought the meal to the courtyard below their apartment, placed it on a bench, then sat down at least 10 feet away.
From across the patio, they ate. On separate benches. Looking at each other.
Wong is part of the hospital's "dirty team," which treats only confirmed or suspected cases of COVID-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus. So far, it's killed more than a thousand and sickened over 50,000 people in China. In Hong Kong, there are currently at least 50 confirmed cases.
Treating patients with COVID-19 means Wong needs to be extra cautious.
"I don't go home after work. [I] stay away from my friends, stay away from my family," he says.
It's especially hard because he and his wife are expecting their first child in April.
"It's not easy for anyone," he says.
The novel coronavirus has been on the minds of people in Hong Kong since the outbreak began about two months ago. This week, the city issued a mandatory 14-day quarantine for anyone entering from mainland China, slowing the flow of tens of thousands of commuters and travelers who pass through Hong Kong on any given day.
Those who are quarantined must remain in their homes or hotel rooms for 14 days before being allowed into the city.
"Business is bad," says the 70-year-old owner of a tea shop in usually busy Mong Kok district. She gives her name simply as Mrs. Cheung – that's what everyone calls her, she explains.
Cheung has been running the tea shop for 50 years, and she says that many people are staying home right now because they're afraid to be in public spaces. It began with the wave of violent street protests last year over Hong Kong's autonomy, and now the fear of catching the virus has kept people away.
But, Cheung says, "It's useless to be worried." She lived through SARS, the severe acute respiratory sickness that hit Hong Kong hard in the early 2000s. At least, she says, "people seem more cautious this time."
For one, more people are wearing surgical masks — public health authorities have encouraged people to wear them (even though the ability of masks to prevent infection has been questioned by some specialists).
High demand for masks has led to some shops selling them for as much as $50 for a box of 50. When some of the larger chain stores do have masks in stock at lower prices, there are long lines to get them.
A sanitation worker on the street for most of the day, Siu Lin Miao, 58, says the price of masks has meant she must ration the ones she has. The mask she put on this morning has been on for almost 12 hours. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, masks should be changed every eight hours.
Andy Chan, 19, was hanging around outside the Langham Place mall. He's a student, and schools have shut down indefinitely, opting instead to post lectures online.
"People are really afraid," he says.
Public spaces throughout the city are full of reminders of the virus. Malls have workers wiping down escalator handles. The city's mass transit system plays announcements telling people to cover their coughs and sneezes with tissues and wash their hands. A sign outside a hot pot restaurant implores patrons to bring their own surgical masks to dinner.
Dr. Wong, who put cardiology on hold in order to treat COVID-19 patients at the hospital, hopes he will be off the dirty team rotation by April, in time for his child's birth.
"I just want to be a normal doctor," he says.
That includes returning to normal life.
Before he began treating virus patients, he says he would touch his wife's belly every day and say, "Take it slowly, tiger. Wait for me."

Epistle CIX.
To Brunichild, Queen of the Franks.
Gregory to Brunichild, &c.
Now that your Excellency's royal solicitude is in all matters of government praiseworthy, you ought, for the increase of your glory, to show yourself more watchful, and careful not to allow those whom you rule with counsel outwardly to perish inwardly among themselves. So may you, through the fruit of your pious solicitude, after occupying this topmost height of a temporal kingdom, attain under God to kingdoms and joys that are eternal. And this we trust you will be able after the following manner to succeed in; if, among other good deeds, you pay attention to the ordination of priests7070 Sacerdotibus, in the usual sense of bishops.; whose office, as we have learnt, has come in your parts to be such an object of ambition that priests are ordained all at once from being laymen. This is a very serious matter. For what can they effect, what good can they do the people, who covet being made bishops, not for doing good, but for distinction? These, then, who have not yet learnt what they have to teach—what do they effect, but that the unlawful advancement of a few becomes the ruin of many, and that the observance of ecclesiastical government is brought into confusion, seeing that no regular order is observed? For whoso comes to the control thereof inconsiderately and hurriedly, with what admonition can he edify those who are put under him, his example having taught them, not reason, but error? It is a shame in truth, it is a shame, for one to command others what he knows not how to observe himself.
Nor do we pass over that other thing which in like manner requires amendment, but detest it as utterly execrable and a most serious matter; that in your parts sacred orders are conferred through simoniacal heresy, which was the first to arise against the Church, and was condemned with a rigorous malediction. 29Hence, therefore, it is brought about that the dignity of the priesthood comes into contempt, and holy honour under condemnation. And so reverence perishes, discipline is destroyed, since he who ought to have corrected faults committed them; and by nefarious ambition the honourable priesthood is brought under censure and disparagement. For who will any more venerate what is sold, or not think worthless what is bought? Hence I am greatly distressed, and condole with that land; since, while they scorn to have as a divine gift, but compass by bribes, the Holy Spirit which Almighty God deigns to bestow on men through the imposition of hands, I do not think that the priesthood can long subsist there. For where the gifts of heavenly grace are sold, the life is not sought for God's service, but rather money is venerated in opposition to God. Seeing then that so great a wickedness is not only a danger to them, but also in no small degree injurious to your kingdom, greeting your Excellency with fatherly affection we beseech you to make God propitious to you by the correction of this enormity. And, that there may be henceforth no opportunity of committing it, let a synod be held by your order, at which, in the presence of our most beloved son, the abbot Cyriacus7171 Cyriacus, abbot of St. Andrew's monastery at Rome, had been sent, for the purpose indicated, to Syagrius, bishop of Autun. Cf. IX. 105., it shall be interdicted strictly under pain of anathema that any one should dare to pass suddenly from a lay condition to the degree of the Episcopate, or any one whatever dare to give or receive anything for ecclesiastical orders; that so our Lord and Redeemer may so deal with the things that are yours as He shall see you to be solicitous with pious devotion in the things that are His. But we have taken special care to delegate the charge and management of this synod, which we have decided should be held, to our brother and fellow-bishop Syagrius, whom we know to be peculiarly your own; and we beg you to deign both to lend a willing ear to his supplication, and to support him by your aid; to the end that what may redound to your reward, namely a pious and God-pleasing ordination of priests, the contagion of this evil being removed, may take effect within all the limits of your jurisdiction.
To this our brother, in that he has shewn himself exceedingly devoted with regard to the mission which has been sent, under God, to the nation of the Angli, we have sent a pallium to be used in the solemnities of mass, so that, having given aid in things spiritual, he may find himself advanced by the favour of the Prince of the apostles in the spiritual order itself.
Furthermore, we have altogether wondered why in your kingdom you allow Jews to possess Christian slaves. For what are all Christians but members of Christ? And we all know that you sincerely honour the Head of these members. But let your Excellency consider how inconsistent it is to honour the Head and to allow the members to be trampled on by his enemies. And so we beg that your Excellency's ordinance may remove the mischief of this iniquity from your kingdom; so that you may prove yourself the more to be a worthy worshipper of Almighty God, in that you set his faithful ones free from His enemies.

An Interview with Kristi DeMeester, author of BENEATH
Kristi DeMeester's debut novel, Beneath, writhes its way to the surface at the end of this month, so our intrepid Sean M. Thompson set out to ask Kristi a few questions in this exclusive Word Horde interview…
How do you think growing up in the South has influenced your work?
Everything runs a bit slower, a bit hotter and more confused in this Southern humidity. That oppressiveness leaked into my fiction. It was around me in the stories my aunt told me about alligators that rose up from the South Georgia swamps to chomp off the meaty legs of small children. Jesus is pervasive in the South, and my childhood was "Christ-haunted." The devil and evil were real, tangible things during those tender, formative years. It seems like a natural progression to have had both a fascination and aversion to the darker things that lurk in the world and then have that become such an integral part of my writing.
What are the themes you think you come back to the most in your work? Why do you think certain themes resonate with you?
I consistently come back to the relationships between mother and daughters. The idea that it can be predatory. I constantly come back to the idea that loss is something that cannot be explained or healed fully. Here lately, I've been writing more and more about things that scare me in real life and that is completely wrapped up in the nonsensical nature of loss.
Do you have any writing rituals you stick to?
Minimum of 500 words per day. Every day. No matter what. Lull or Cities Last Broadcast on repeat.
How do you manage your time between being a mother, working, and writing?
People ask me this a lot, and the honest answer has nothing to do with time management or finding any kind of time I can, but everything to do with how I let things slip through the cracks. My kid probably watches too much television while I'm writing. My house is nowhere near as clean as it could be. I should probably grade essays faster. I forget things a lot. But it's a weird balance that works for me. I also took a lot of pressure off of myself this year by lowering my daily word count from 1,000 words to only 500.
Is there anything you'd love to write you haven't done yet?
I'd love to do something more literary, but I cannot bring myself to carve the spooky out of my writing.
How do you feel about snakes?
Terrified of them. TERRIFIED.
Would you say writing a novel takes a lot of faith?
100%. There's so much time in sitting with that stack of words alone. So much time to self-doubt and wonder if the whole thing isn't working. It's one thing to scrap a 5,000 short story. It's another to have the sudden realization that 50,000 aren't working. It takes a lot of faith in your belief that you can come to the page, every day, and do the work. It takes a lot of faith to know that's enough.
Do you like to outline, make it up as you go, or a bit of both?
I don't usually outline, and the time I tried, the novel died after 7,000 words. I like it best when I can discover as I go, but that also leads to a lot of staring at walls and wishing I was a trust fund baby.
What writers lately have really inspired you? What writers over your life have had the most impact on your work?
Writers lately include Helen Marshall, Kelly Link, Livia Llewellyn, Amelia Gray, Damien Angelica Walters, Lysley Tenorio, Stephen Graham Jones, Paul Tremblay, Joyce Carol Oates, Michael Wehunt, Ramsey Campbell. This list is longer, but I'll stop there because there are only so many pages in the world.
Over my life is a much more eclectic list. C.S. Lewis, Beverly Cleary, Frances Hodgson Burnett, L.M. Montgomery, R.L. Stine, Stephen King, Shirley Jackson, Christopher Pike, Anne Rice, John Irving, Pat Conroy, William Faulkner, Flannery O'Connor, Eudora Welty, Vladimir Nabokov, Edgar Allan Poe, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Zora Neale Hurston, Emily and Charlotte Bronte, Ray Bradbury.
What's your favorite swear?
It's a tie between the old standard "fuck" and "goddammit."
What's the hardest part about being a commercial artist?
As in creating content for sale? The constant worry and anxiety that people are going to hate everything I do. The fear of being called a fraud or a hack. You know. The typical.
Do you think being completely complacent is the death knell of progression in art?
I think being uncomfortable or at least uneasy with your work is what keeps you moving forward. It's like a musician who puts out album after album of songs that sound exactly the same. Eventually, people stop paying attention. It's the same for fiction.
KRISTI DeMEESTER writes pretty, spooky things in Atlanta, Georgia. Her work has appeared in publications such as Black Static, Apex Magazine, The Dark, and several others. Her work has been reprinted in Year's Best Weird Fiction Volumes 1 and 3. Her debut short fiction collection, Everything That's Underneath, is forthcoming this year from Apex Publications. In her spare time, she alternates between telling people how to pronounce her last name and how to spell her first. Beneath is her first novel.

It all started in Paris, 1908
The International Ice Hockey Federation was founded on May 15, 1908 at 34 rue de Provence in Paris, France, as Ligue International de Hockey sur Glace (LIHG). Representatives from Belgium, France, Great Britain and Switzerland signed the founding document. Later the same year, Bohemia (later Czechoslovakia) joined as the fifth member. Louis Magnus, a Frenchman, became the first president of the LIHG. The first congress was in Paris the same year and the second in Chamonix, France, in 1909.The General Congress is the IIHF's highest legislative body and makes decisions about the rules of the game, the statutes and bylaws. The General Congress elects the president and the council (board). The IIHF President is elected by the General Congress and chairs all congresses and council meetings. The council is the IIHF's highest executive body. The president represents the interests of the IIHF in all external matters and is responsible that all decisions are made in accordance with the federation's statutes, bylaws and regulations. The president also has the right to sign on behalf of the IIHF.The IIHF General Secretary is the federation's highest ranked employee and has the role of the federation's chief executive officer.

ScienceDaily | Oct. 22, 2008
Anti-tobacco public service announcements have been around for decades, designed to encourage people to quit smoking or to refrain from starting. Often these ads try to encourage people to avoid smoking by scaring them with the harmful effects of tobacco use.
In a new study, University of Missouri researchers examined the effects of two types of content commonly used in anti-tobacco ads – tobacco health threats that evoke fear and disturbing or disgusting images. The researchers found that ads focused on either fear or disgust increased attention and memory in viewers; however, ads that included both fear and disgust decreased viewers' attention and memory.
"When fear and disgust are combined in a single television ad, the ad might become too noxious for the viewer," said Glenn Leshner, lead author of the study and co-director of the Psychological Research on Information and Media Effects (PRIME) Lab in the Missouri School of Journalism. "We noticed several ads in our collection of anti-tobacco public service announcements that contained very disturbing images, such as cholesterol being squeezed from a human artery, a diseased lung, or a cancer-riddled tongue. Presumably, these messages are designed to scare people so that they don't smoke. It appears that this strategy may backfire."
There is limited understanding of the cognitive and emotional processes associated with the effects of advertising messages, according to Paul Bolls, co-author of the study and co-director of the PRIME Lab. Bolls said the purpose of the study was to examine key characteristics of anti-tobacco ads that influence viewers' cognitive processes engaged during message exposure, which potentially contribute to the messages' effectiveness.
"This study provides important insight into how young adults process anti-smoking messages, and it offers practical suggestions for designing effective tobacco prevention messages," Bolls said. "The way the human mind perceives and processes information in a persuasive message is the very foundation of any desired effect on targeted individuals. The PRIME lab at MU is dedicated to studying how very specific elements of health campaign messages engage attention and emotion so that messages can be produced that might actually help persuade individuals to adopt healthier attitudes and behaviors."
The researchers measured the physiological responses of 58 viewers while the viewers watched a series of 30-second anti-tobacco ads. The ads included fear messages that communicated health threats resulting from tobacco use (lung cancer, heart disease, etc.) or disgust content that focused on negative graphic images (dirty insects, blood, organs, etc.) or both fear and disgust content.
Electrodes were placed on the viewers' facial muscles to measure emotional responses. Attention, which was defined as the amount of mental effort participants expended to interpret the messages, was measured by taking participants' heart rates. To measure recognition, the participants completed a visual recognition task that consisted of watching brief video scenes (1 second) while pressing computer keys to indicate whether or not they believed the scene was from one of the ads they viewed during the experiment.

Dissecting the core of how humans naturally learn, think, and choose to act, internationally-recognized critical thinking leader Linda Elder illuminates root causes of dysfunctional thought and shows us how to free ourselves from both selfishness and groupthink through explicit tools of rationality.
This miniature guide, which has sold more than half a million copies, is widely used in teaching and learning, in personal and professional life. It distills the essence of critical thinking into a 24-page, pocket-sized guide. It introduces the interrelated complex of critical thinking concepts and principles implicit in the works of Richard Paul and Linda Elder. This guide is widely used at the college level. It can be used as a critical thinking supplement to any textbook or course.
The main goal of Critical Writing is to provide students with a set of robust, integrated critical concepts and processes that will allow to them think through and write about a topic in a way that is built on — and permeated by — substantive critical thinking.
The Critical Thinker's Guide to Bias, Lies, and Politics in the News reveals the power of critical thinking to make sense of overwhelming and often subjective media by detecting ideology, slant, and spin at work.
The purpose of this guide is to help you begin to understand history as a way of thinking, as a system of understandings. History is not a list of dates, names, and events to store up in your memory. It is a catalog of stories told about the past that, when told and understood insightfully and deeply, can help us live better in the future.
This guide is designed principally for instructors. It is also useful for those interested in a serious study of history. It presents history as a mode of thinking rather than a list of disconnected dates and names and places. We recommend that it be used in conjunction with the student guide: Understanding Critical Thinking as the Key to Historical Thinking.
This guide focuses on the intellectual skills that enable one to analyze anything one might think about - questions, problems, disciplines, subjects, etc. It provides the common denominator between all forms of analysis.
This Thinker's Guide was created specifically for the aspiring young learner, however the content and approach are applicable to students and people of all ages. This guide introduces critical thinking concepts and provides strategies for developing one's own critical thinking process. Its full color images and glossy format help capture the attention of the teenage or pre-teen student while focusing on the essence of critical thinking as it applies to today's world. The skills implicit in this guide apply to all subjects. Teachers can use it to design instruction, assignments and tests in any subject. Students can use it to improve their learning in any content area.
Written by two of the most prominent leaders in the International Critical Thinking movement, Richard Paul and Linda Elder, this is the text that will give students the tools they need to achieve deep and significant learning in all disciplines and subjects, as well as in life. It is also a useful book for anyone interested in developing as thinker.
Critical thinking is at once simple and complex. Though there are many layers to critical thinking, and you can always deepen your understanding of it, there are some basic ideas in critical thinking that, if taken seriously, can almost immediately improve the quality of your life. This book offers 30 such ideas. You can focus on one idea per day or one idea per week. And each idea is immediately applicable to your life. This book is for anyone interested in improving the quality of their lives by improving the quality of their thinking.
Built on Richard Paul's model of critical thinking, Learning to Think Things Through, was written to help students engage in critical thinking within the discipline or subject matter they are studying.
Like its parent text, Critical Thinking: Tools for Taking Charge of Your Learning and Your Life, Second Edition, this book focuses on an integrated, universal concept of critical thinking that is both substantive and practical; it provides reader with the basic intellectual skills they need to think through content in any class, subject, discipline, and through any problems or issues they face.
The critical thinking competency standards articulated in this guide serve as a resource for teachers, curriculum designers, administrators and accrediting bodies. The use of these competencies across the curriculum will ensure that critical thinking is fostered in the teaching of any subject to all students at every grade level. This guide provides a framework for assessing students' critical thinking abilities. It enables administrators, teachers, and faculty at all levels to determine the extent to which students are reasoning critically within any subject or discipline.
In this anthology of his major papers, Richard Paul explains how to help students become intellectually fit, how to build the intellectual muscle to overcome inherent self-deceptive tendencies and rise to the challenges of a rapidly changing world.
This is the story of Fairminded Fran and her experience in learning about community cats.
This guide provides theory and activities necessary for deep comprehension. Imminently practical for students.
An original approach to the identification of fallacies focusing on their relationship to human self-deception, mental trickery, and manipulation. Introduces the concept of fallacies and details 44 foul ways to win an argument.

Dear Friend,
Please pardon me for being so forthright with this question…
… but you wouldn't try to buy life insurance on a loved one AFTER they pass away, would you?
Of course you wouldn't!
Okay, let's back up just a moment… I'd like to tell you a little about myself.
At the undergraduate and grad school levels I majored in Psychology & Theology. After scoring high on the Law School Admissions Test, I was awarded multiple full scholarships, including the Academic Merit Scholarship, and was selected as the Law School Chancellor's Scholar Award recipient.
Jay Sekulow and The American Center For Law & Justice paid me to travel Eastern Europe surveying the legal process in Romania, Turkey, and Greece. I also lived in Sofia, Bulgaria for 2 months while working on a case before the European Court of Human Rights.
Then, in Western Europe, I attended conferences in the U.K. and studied International Law in Strasbourg, France. It was there that Jay Sekulow reserved a seat for me at dinner with him, the law school dean, and John Ashcroft. We had quite the fervent, though respectable, debate!
All of that stuff was fun, but my real calling is legal drafting – contracts, business agreements, estate plans (wills & trusts), power of attorney, etc. I LOVE bringing to pass the legal documents that give birth to your desires, intentions, and expectations.
Indeed, today's order of business is so drop-dead serious that I don't want to waste any more of your time talking about my extensive educational background, awards, honors, accolades & other things that don't much matter.
To be fair, however, (even though your average bozo isn't attending parties at the European Centre for Law & Justice with John Ashcroft & foreign dignitaries) I want you to feel free to CLICK HERE FOR CREDENTIALS (opens in new tab/window… so you won't lose your place here!) if you want to take a peek at more credentials – including my law school transcript revealing every grade I earned in every class!
See, the key here is that I'm not just an attorney who participated in Law Review, finished in the top 4% of my class, and passed the bar exam with such a high score I was exempted from taking part of the bar exam in a neighboring state.
My first website for Internet marketing purposes was launched back in 1999!
And when I went full time with my internet & business consulting endeavors in 2009, one of my main projects was a private blog network of over 200 sites in the financial niche.
Being a lawyer, I simply drafted for myself all the proper disclaimers & disclosures ANYONE having ANY web real estate should have.
It's just too easy to cover yourself with proper website legal pages, so surely everybody else does the same… right?
Boy was I ever WRONG!
I sure hope you're not doing that!
Imagine trying to explain that you were attempting to invoke Copyright Laws to protect your material… by violating those very same Copyright Laws and stealing some third party's material by "lifting" their copyright notice!
Much to my dismay, I began to notice other websites… and I was ALARMED – it was truly the "blind leading the blind!"
Many sites were recklessly "freestyling" it – without so much as a Privacy Policy… presumably hoping they'd fly under the radar.
The legal violations were so flagrant, I honestly wondered if people even knew about their legal responsibility to keep their websites compliant with laws and policies, such as those set forth by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC).
And when I did see some half-hearted attempt at putting a Disclaimer or Terms Of Service page on their website, I had to do a double-take when I came across lines like this:
"When you visit our website, the IP address used to access our website will be stored, as will the date and time of your visit."
"We used an email confirmation process that employs a double opt-in procedure to protect you."
"While none of your individual personal information is used in isolation, aggregate data from our website statistics may be used for marketing purposes."
"In accordance with our terms of service, minors under the age of 18 are not allowed to use our website without parental consent."
"We make every reasonable effort to make sure our affiliates comply with our policies and represent our products and services appropriately."
See, if you're like a lot of people I talk to, you might just read those 5 examples and have a difficult time spotting the problem.
In fact, if I hadn't told you these were fatally-flawed (indeed, dangerous) statements, chances are you'd have been tempted to "borrow" these for your own use – after all, they "look" fine, don't they?
But even if you see a problem, I bet you wouldn't really know how to draft an air-tight alternative, would you?
Honestly, then, don't you think it's worth a few bucks to pick up an inexpensive "insurance policy" (at cut-rate prices, really) and just leave the detail-oriented, anal-retentive, obsessive-compulsive stuff to me?
Plug-n-Play with true Cut & Paste Simplicity!
New & seemingly never-ending regulations will prompt the FTC to make an example of some folks. They will prosecute some marketers and business website owners to scare the masses into good behavior.
If you've been wondering if "borrowing" a Copyright Notice is itself a form of Copyright infringement (or that possibility never even crossed your mind!), now's the time to take proper precautions to protect you and your business (without worrying if your anti-lawsuit efforts are actually making you a litigation magnet)…
You will receive not 7, but EIGHT, Cut & Paste Website Legal Pages in PDF, Microsoft Word, and TXT formats. These feature less "passive voice" and more "plain language" phrasing (which I was doing long before Google got its act together – more on that in a moment):
If you have any websites hosted in the United States… or any websites viewed by folks in the United States, you ought to have a plan for complying with U.S. Federal laws. If the IRS goes after U.S. citizens who don't even live in America, please don't think the FTC ("feds") are intimidated by country borders.
These days, who isn't leveraging the powerful marketing potential of email marketing?
Whether you're sending regular newsletters, broadcasting periodic bursts of useful content, doing affiliate marketing on a regular basis, just providing product updates, or just simply casually sharing ideas about beneficial services or useful items… chances are near 100% your email has a commercial intent.
Even if it doesn't, I'm willing to bet your email could be construed as having commercial intent.
Take no chances and stack the deck in your favor with my Commercial Email Notice Protection – the best 137 words you can include in email sent to ANYONE other than your mom!
Fortunately, these Website Legal Pages have been just what the doctor ordered for so many people, that I can let others do the talking rather than me just sounding off.
Check out this satisfied customer, who I really appreciated hearing from (since it's human nature to more easily take time to complain than compliment):
Rather than bore you to tears with one unsolicited testimonial after another, I'll keep a snappy pace since this is such a short-term offer.
If you would like to read what a truckload of others have to say, I've prepared a special page for you.
CLICK HERE FOR TESTIMONIALS if you'd like to see more actual communication from customers, affiliates, JV Partners, other attorneys, and even customers wanting to become affiliates so they can share this cost-effective solution with others (page will open in a new tab/window… so you won't lose your place here!).
Don't get me wrong, all the unsolicited compliments from customers, affiliates, business consultants, other lawyers, and so on should go a very, very long way towards establishing all the "social proof" you could ever need.
But, since I SHOULDER ALL THE RISK, the best part is that you really don't have to make any commitments today!
In fact, with my 60-Day, No Questions Asked Money-Back Guarantee, you can essentially try before you buy.
Comment #19 by "CaptainKrunch" Wed. Dec. 7, 2011, http;//www.freerepublic.com/focus/fnews/2817528/posts
In the interest of full disclosure, this offer could end at any moment (especially at this price).
When my Website Legal Pages offer has been pulled in the past, it's triggered an onslaught of emails and private messages from people who only wished they could get their hands on it.
As they say, "You snooze, you lose," and you're welcome to CLICK HERE FOR A SAMPLING OF FOLKS WHO WROTE TO ME BEGGING TO GET THE CUT & PASTE WEBSITE LEGAL PAGES.
Generally speaking, each time the offer is withdrawn from the public, it results in a price increase – if not updates, revisions, additions… and overall enhanced value for you the customer.
So, lock in this special pricing today and secure your right to all future updates for free.
Otherwise, if you wait a moment longer, you might end up with regret… like these folks: https://websitelegalpages.com/you-snooze-you-lose/
Be blessed & take care,

… and the new addition:
Remember using any type of Google-related services and getting notices that Google was changing & consolidating tons of its legal docs?
I remember chatting with one of my customers about how ironic it was that Google was rolling out major updates to it legal pages just about a month after I first offered my Cut & Paste Website Legal Pages to the public.
Now, I'm not suggesting Google stole my idea (although maybe they could have!), but rather than they were following the solid counsel of some of the top attorneys in the nation and getting their legal ducks in a row prior to the roll-out of Federal Trade Commission updated guidelines.
And, front & center on this effort was not only maintaining legal compliance with their website and businesses, but also an emphasis on actually using language end-users can understand.
Next thing you know, after the federal mandates & Google updates hit, their advisory notices shifted language from "We're getting rid of over 60 different Privacy Policies…" to "We recently got rid of over 60 different privacy policies…"
If you've made it this far without pulling the trigger because you've skated on thin ice this far & not fallen through, let's get real personal here in the off chance that you question if this type of threat is real and could possibly happen to you. Earlier I shared the story of Susan, a client who bought the Website Legal Pages after disaster struck. That's like getting health insurance after a major surgery. It'll be there for next time… but doesn't do you a lot of good now. Having shown you what it's like to be in Susan's shoes when you get caught with your pants down, let's flip this thing around and I'll show you just how nice it can be to have your ducks in a row when the hammer falls and "apparent" danger comes home to roost. Check out this express air mail package I received from Switzerland over a supposed Copyright/DMCA violation.
There's one thing you need to understand: Not doing anything wrong is NOT enough these days. See, ANYbody can sue ANYone for ANYthing at ANYtime. For some, receiving arbitration papers from the World Intellectual Property Organization in Geneva could mean fear… if not a financial guillotine.
Not for me. With my Website Legal Pages, including my DMCA Compliance Webpage, I never gave it a second thought. Instead, I left the country on vacation and took my wife to Israel & Jordan for two weeks… as if I had received nothing more than the sales flyer for the local grocery store in the mail! Here I am in the West Bank at Qumran, where the Dead Sea Scrolls were found:
If you're still reading and made it all the way to the end of this page, I may not be able to help.
But if you simply want to ensure I'm worth my weight in salt, remember I've made it drop-dead simple for you to figure out who's who in the zoo by putting me "under the microscope" so you can make an honest determination as to whether you're better off with Website Legal Pages drafted & used by me… or the half-cocked concoction you got from somebody who got it from somebody who took it from somebody else who tried to write it themselves without the first inkling of compliance requirements or ounce of legal training. Take your time and learn more about me than you care to know (check out my law school "report card", etc.).

And, remember, if you are a fan of social proof & enjoy customer reviews, keep in mind that I don't even have to ask for testimonials regarding my Website Legal Pages. People take time out of their busy day simply to say "thanks." See for yourself!

But, as much as I want you to do your due diligence til the proverbial cows come home, bear in mind that all of this information about my professional credentials and feedback from others who love me & my products really hits the point of diminishing returns. And I know that some people won't buy a $20 bill for ten bucks. So I don't pretend to be a panacea… and, strange as it is to imagine, I don't expect everyone to join with me in this drop-dead simple solution to a very big legal problem you face by simply having a website or sending an email with commercial intent. All I can do is queue you up to make an intelligent decision & decide if it's worth hanging onto a few bucks and "winging it" on your own while assuming the risk. That said, I imagine it's only fair at this point to ask for a simple "yes" or "no." Waiting only puts you at risk of "should've, could've, would've." Please don't have me add your email to the list of those who for begging for this level of high-grade, yet cost-effective, protection.

Facebook jumped on it for $1 billion, so it must be true: Instagram, with its stable of custom filters turning any snapshot into a keepsake-worthy print, is this online-addled generation's manifestation of meaningful. I dig it because it makes me look like I have a small fraction of a skill I don't normally possess, but that's me.
After a few weeks as a member of the — now all-inclusive — Instagram literati, I've discovered that even though taking pictures of your food is still the fastest way to elicit an eye-roll from most of your social-media followers ("Made this ravioli from scratch! #homemade #culinarygenius"), it's still fun as hell. In this vein, three of New England's most in-demand chefs have turned to the app as the number-one way to share their kitchens with both their peers and their fans. I sat down with each of them to find out why they've begun throwing a filter on every movement in the kitchen.
Executive chef, Russell House Tavern
TIME ON INSTAGRAM: 4-5 months
A plate of chef Michael Scelfo's beet carpaccio is sitting in front of me, and resisting the urge to snap a quick, inconspicuous picture while we talk is proving to be very difficult. The neon magenta of the red beet slices is bleeding over to the golden ones, and the effect is vaguely psychedelic.
This urge is something Scelfo doesn't fight, to gorgeous results. As he scrolls through his photos, passing his phone across the table to show me one of his favorites — beef-tongue meatballs — he flicks through a series of gory prep-driven shots.
"I do tend to take a lot of photos that are really raw photos of breakdowns," he admits, adding that some of his friends requested a warning. Glimpses of butchering — an obvious fact of kitchen life — appear frequently on chef feeds. The shots are more enlightening than gristly. "I think Instagram softens it up a bit and makes it more palatable."
It's hard to tell if Scelfo is a good photographer or just really good with the app, but his posts are fantastic. He says that the ability to communicate with high-caliber chefs in such a casual way is another one of Instagram's best features.
"It blurs the lines between us, and it gets rid of that level of status between elites and everyday guys like me," he says. "The food world is all just coming together, and it's these tools that are making it happen."
Executive chef at Toro, Coppa
TIME ON INSTAGRAM: 3-5 months
"That's a big fucking burger that guy has in his hand," Jamie Bissonnette says suddenly, glancing down the bar at Fenway's Tasty Burger. "I don't think I could get that in my mouth."
For Bissonnette, Instagram is just another arm of the tight-knit community love between New England chefs — which can now extend across the globe.

LeakBarrier® PS200MU Ice and Water Armor is a self-adhesive, glass fiber reinforced, modified bituminous roofing underlayment designed for use under metal roofing. Manufactured using a polyolefinic film on the upper side, this unique film laminate is non-abrasive and has anti-skid properties that provide good walkability. PS200MU is specially formulated for use in high temperature environments.
For an ideal alternative product, try LeakBarrier® NR600 Ultra.
LeakBarrier® PS200MU Ice and Water Armor helps to protect a building's deck or internal structure against leaks caused by ice and water damming and wind-driven rain. Ideally suited for use under metal roofing. It is also an excellent choice as an underlayment for shingles, slate, and mechanically attached tiles. PS200MU is highly effective in critical roofing areas such as valleys, ridges, coping joints, chimneys, vents, dormers, skylights, and low-slope sections.
For an ideal alternative product, try LeakBarrier® NR600 Ultra.
Features and Benefits
- PS200MU rolls must be stored indoors, in a dry location.
- Rolls must be stored on end only. Do not store in a leaning position.
- The rolls must be protected from the elements. Do not expose to direct sunlight.
- Store rolls at room temperature. Prolonged exposure to elevated temperatures may reduce the adhesive characteristics of the material.
General Precautions
- Install PS200MU only when material interface temperatures (air, deck, material) are 40ºF and rising.
- Do not install when any form of moisture such as water, ice, snow, dew, rain, etc. is present.
- Ensure roof has proper drainage prior to installation.
- Proper ventilation is critical. When applying over the entire roof deck, the roofing system must provide sufficient ventilation, including both ridge and soffit venting.
- A full, irreversible adhesion is achieved when the underlayment goes through a complete heat cycle. Do not attempt to remove the underlayment immediately after adhesion to the substrate.
- Use of a hand-held "hot air gun" might help in enhancing the adhesion during application of underlayment in cooler weather.
- PS200MU shall not be used in adhesive (foam) set tile applications.
- Not recommended for extreme high temperature environments such as under copper or zinc metal roofing.
- PS200MU must be covered with a finished roof covering within the specified exposure time of the product. Refer to the section on Features and Benefits for exposure time.
Surface Preparation
- Surface must be clean, dry, and without voids, that may interfere with adhesion.
- For re-roofing, all old roofing and other loose materials must be removed prior to installation.
- Acceptable substrates for adhesion of LeakBarrier membranes can be found at the Tarco website.
- For best results, surface may be primed with an ASTM D41 Primer before installation of PS200MU. When primer is used, ensure the primer is fully dry prior to application of PS200MU.
Application Guidelines
- Cut PS200MU roll to suitable, manageable lengths before installation.
- Place a full width piece of the pre-cut sheet on the substrate, parallel to the eave edge of the roof.
- Align the sheet so that it is parallel with the edge of the eave and extend over the eave and rake approximately 3/8".
- Fold back the sheet, and remove the exposed release film, taking care not to displace the sheet.
- Working from the center out, roll the sheet onto the substrate, taking care to avoid wrinkles and ridges. Sheet must be set straight. Repeat this process for the remaining half of the sheet.
- Apply a 1/16" thick layer of asphalt plastic cement over the eave and rake metal drip edges extending 2" to 3" onto the deck surface where the roll will intersect.
- Apply the next eave course in the same manner overlapping the first course at the end lap by 6".
- Lap the succeeding course over the lap area.
- Apply succeeding courses in like manner, as in steps above.
- Stagger the end laps a minimum 3' from the preceding course.
- Install capped or tin tagged nails 6 inches on center in the middle of the side lap or fasten according to applicable Building Code.
- At the T-Joint (where an end lap and next overlapping course intersect), apply a bead of roofing lap cement before the overlapping course is laid.
- Roll the entire membrane surface, paying special attention to side laps, end laps and T-joints. Roller weight shall be 70 lb. minimum for low slope (≤2:12 pitch) and 28 lb. minimum for steep slope (>2:12 pitch).

Enquête Catalyst 2011 : Les femmes membres de conseils d'administration selon le classement Financial Post 500 (Rapport)
Mar 08, 2012The 2011 Catalyst Census: Financial Post 500 Women Board Directors details women's representation on corporate boards at the largest companies in Canada. This biennial report provides critical statistics to gauge women's advancement into leadership and highlights the gender diversity gap. Each year Catalyst tracks:
- Women's share of all board seats.
- Women's share of board leadership positions at public companies.
- Women's share of board seats at public, private, Crown, and cooperative companies.
- All companies with 0 percent, 25 percent or more, and 40 percent or more women directors.
The appendices provide additional points of comparison by region and industry as well as list companies with the highest and lowest representation of women board directors.
In 2011, women held 14.5 percent of board seats at Financial Post 500 companies, an increase of half of a percentage point since 2009. In both 2009 and 2011, approximately 40 percent of companies had no women board directors. Women held just 3.6 percent of board chair positions at public companies in 2011; in 2009, women held 3.2 percent of these positions. Finally, the percentage of women directors at public companies remained at 10.3 percent since 2009, while Crown corporations continue to have the highest representation of women directors compared to other company types.

Tsui Hark's latest wuxia flick, Flying Swords of Dragon Gate, is now available wherever you buy your Hong Kong video imports. (Remember, co-continentals: Asia and America share the same Blue Ray region.)
This sequel to the 1992 classic Dragon Inn serves up a study in contrasting eras of flying-people. The original is fast, energetic and sometimes technically crude. Flying Swords drips with mammoth production values, is Hark's first foray into 3D, and relies as heavily on CGI-animated fu fighting as on wirework.
In plot embracing full convolution of its literary sources, Jet Li plays a eunuch-busting guerrilla who, after destroying the evil East Bureau, is hunted by the bad-ass prince of the even more evil West Bureau. Their paths take them to Dragon Inn, where the white meat in the noodles is people. Add a woman warrior disguised as him as an expression of unrequited love, a pregnant girl escaping the prince, and an assorted complement of treasure-hunting bandits, and you've got more story than you can shake a throwing dart at. And oh yes, there's a gigantic sandstorm headed their way.
I wish this was as complete a return to form as Hark's previous Detective Dee and the Mystery of the Phantom Flame. But here early reels that ought to be investing you in the characters instead spent time throwing computer-animated objects at the 3D camera. Would I sooner see Jet Li in his athletic prime, fighting a dude in widescreen with a locked-off camera? Yes, but that was nearly twenty years ago now. If you're a fan, lesser Hark and Li are still Hark and Li.
The trailer prominently features the opening cameo from a corrupt eunuch Gordon Liu.
