Right now I'm on holidays with my family in Bali.
The last time Liz and I were here, we were newlyweds without a care in the world.
I'd romantically feed her strawberries and we'd laze by the pool, armed only with our bathers, towels and a frosty beer.
"Tapas?" Liz would ask.
"Sure", I'd lazily reply.
Things are a little different this time around.
I'm spoonfeeding berry puree at Eddie and we're getting it all over both of us.
We're still by the pool, though we now have head-to-toe rash shirts, zinc cream, insect repellant, floaties, and there's no lazing:
"Are you watching him?"
"I thought you were?"
"You have to watch him!"
Yes, kids are demanding, which can be exhausting on your holiday, but it's damned good when they channel it into learning about money.
Here are some questions I've received from Barefoot kids.
Mister Barefoot, How Do I Make My Money Grow?
Hi Scott,
My name is Olivia and I am six years old. I put my pocket money in the bank on Thursdays at school. How do I make my money grow? Mum says to water it.
From Olivia
Hi Olivia,
You are already growing your money by putting it in the bank on Thursdays at school!
However, I'd like you to ask your mum if you could stop putting your money in the bank from now on.
See, banking is very boring. The only people who really care about banking are the people at the bank. That's why they give you all those comic books with silly characters like 'Cred'. They're trying to make it cool, but trust me it's really boring.
But I pinky promise I'm going to teach you something very cool.
I want you to ask your mum to get three glass jam jars (without the jam!). Ask her to label them 'Save', 'Give' and 'Spend'. Then keep them in your room, where you can see the money piling up inside them.
Next I want you to think about all the things you can do around the house (like watering the garden) that would help out Mum and Dad. Ask Mum if you can get paid in coins, but only if you do a good job.
When Mum gives you your pay, I want you to put one coin into each jar:
The 'Save' jar is for something big you want to buy but you can't afford right now (preferably something like a Super Soaker that your brother wants). Each time you do a job and get paid, you'll see the coins filling up in the jar. So long as you don't take them out, you'll be able to blast your brother with your Super Soaker!
The 'Give' jar is for helping other little girls who are not as lucky as you. At Christmas time you can buy these girls presents, wrap them, and put them under a tree at the shopping centre.
The 'Spend' jar is for lollies.
How Do I Earn More Interest?
Hi Scott
My name is Kyla and I am 14 years old. I get $40 pocket money per month, of which I save $10 into my saving account. I have also started delivering fliers and earn $19 upward per week depending on the number of brochures for the week. I save $10 per week of that money also. I do not get a lot of interest on my savings account. Any ideas?
Hi Kyla,
Unfortunately I can't help you earn more interest — we're all in the same boat at the moment — but I can help you earn more money.
Now, you sound like a very smart person, so I'm going to get you to put a proposal to your mum and dad.
See, your parents are very busy people, they work really hard, but sometimes that means they don't have a lot of time to hunt around and get the best deals on the things they buy.
But you do.
So over the next year, whenever your mum or dad pays a bill, ask them to show it to you, and then you can do the research online and see if you can get them a better deal. It could be on their electricity, or their mobile phone, or even when they're shopping at the supermarket.
And if you want to earn even more money, you could ask your parents if you can be in charge of monitoring the household power bill, and you could work out getting an extra payment if you can keep the bill under figure.
Good luck!
My Parents Are Losers
Hi Scott,
I saw your call-out for kids to ask you a question. Well, I am 16 and I have a question for you. What can I do about my parents? They are 46 (Dad) and 44 (Mum). They have always rented, and they have never had any money — but Dad has always driven good cars like his latest HSV Commodore (bought brand new). They also have credit card debts. They have taught me what not to do about money.
Hi Luke,
You're one in a million, mate.
Kids model their parents' behaviours — especially when it comes to money. That's why some families never seem to be able to get ahead. It's like each generation gets stuck in a prison of poverty.
Not you. You're smart enough to have learned what not to do from your parents.
I talk to teenagers all the time about money, but most of them are cocooned from the consequences of bad choices. You've lived it, and that's why you'll make better decisions than your parents have.
See, money is one of the great levellers of life: you don't need a high-paying job, you don't even need to be particularly smart, you just have to start. And that's your power. You have the miracle of compound interest on your side. By starting to save and invest now, you'll earn more money over your lifetime than your parents did working their entire lives.
Don't bother trying to change your parents. It's too late for them.
Love them. Just don't live like them.
Tread Your Own Path!

Massachusetts AIDS Action Committee Founding Director Kessler To Retire
Larry Kessler, founding director of AIDS Action Committee of Massachusetts, on Wednesday announced that he plans to retire on April 30, the AP/Boston Globe reports (AP/Boston Globe, 2/15). Kessler founded the organization in 1983 after the first cases of HIV/AIDS among men who have sex with men appeared in Boston, according to an AAC release. "It is still a tragedy to me that every day in every major city and in almost every state of the union, people die from the complications of AIDS and someone new is infected," Kessler said in a written statement, adding, "It is time for me to get back to my roots and work on the social justice issues that continue to drive this epidemic: poverty, violence, racism and homophobia" (AAC release, 2/15). According to the AP/Boston Globe, AAC is dedicating its 2006 AIDS walk to Kessler (AP/Boston Globe, 2/15).This is part of the KHN Morning Briefing, a summary of health policy coverage from major news organizations.

Alexion mulls producing pipeline drugs in Ireland
A senior executive with Alexion ($ALXN), the maker of orphan drug Soliris, said the company is taking a hard look at locating facilities to produce its new pipeline of drugs in Ireland.
"We are planning where and how production for our pipeline of drugs will happen and Ireland is being considered," Julie O'Neill, the company's executive vice president of global operations, told the Irish Independent. "I don't want to say too much as it is still early days."
The company has earmarked three-quarters of a billion dollars in investment in the country since it set up shop in 2013, the newspaper said.
Sites for new facilities under consideration include the Dublin area and Athlone, O'Neill said.
Currently, Alexion has a vial-filling plant in Athlone and an operation in College Park in Blanchardstown where it is spending $507 million to build its first biologics plant outside the U.S. When that facility is completed, Alexion will employ about 500 people in Ireland.
Alexion is best known for Soliris, which is often described as the most expensive drug in the world. The drug, which costs about $400,000 a year per patient, is used to treat paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria, a rare and fatal form of blood disease.

Advice on all elements of aged care, from care houses to care for the elderly at home. Such is the circumstance that the resident of Israel who relies solely on the Israeli public well being care method finds himself in. The Israeli public overall health care system is based on the National Overall health Law, which defines a basket of healthcare solutions that the government undertakes to give to all residents. Next, go to the web site of each of the significant well being insurance coverage firms in your region and examine the possibilities for the deductible you have selected.
Despite the fact that the Shaban plans offer some coverage, it is only a private health insurance strategy that gives coverage for the problems just discussed (transplants and medications). The primary expense element of the US healthcare program is salaries of health care workers. Your overall health care provider need to clarify any treatment or appointment charges clearly beforehand.
Here are a handful of suggestions for receiving quality wellness insurance for you and your family on a budget. Even so, this sort of cover will only apply to new situations and will not apply to situations sutained prior to taking out the private well being insurance policy. Insurers could not necessarily notify you of alterations to their contract arrangements with healthcare providers.
The UK is 1 of a handful of nations in the globe which providers folks with free of charge NHS treatment at the point of service covering so paying for private healthcare is a luxury not a necessity. You pay a monthly sum to the insurer and it pays out for your important remedies such as hospital care and surgery. And also that his salary is the basic problem with the American wellness care program. J) Mbf – it is in addition recognized for its innovative plans and gained the limelight in quite less period of time. The policy holders are required to spend for greater premiums due to the increasing well being care costs.
What is covered beneath a well being insurance coverage policy will largely depend on its terms and situations but there are some functions which are commonly included. Private well being solutions plan (PHSP) A strategy for organizations to provide well being rewards for their workers that is both tax deductible for the company and non taxable for the employee. Medicaid – A federal plan that provides complete well being insurance coverage to low revenue individuals and households.

An interesting debate in Egyptian politics is taking place. It is not about elections. It is about Virginity!
The debate is about a new Japanese Hymen' kit that makes women, a born again virgin. Politicians want to ban it in the country, calling it a "mark of shame". Many religious scholars say the product encourages illicit sexual behavious. However, many argue the Artificial Virginity Hymen is something that can save lives of many women living in areas where the so-called honour killings are common.
Do you agree? Should the kit be be sold in the Middle East? And on a deeper level, do we have double standards in our society which condemns women's sexuality but turns a blind eye to male promiscuity?

White bread
Eating just 120g of white bread a day can cause obesity (1). Why? It's processed sugar. But if life simply isn't life without white bread, buy the freshly baked variety, slice it at home and freeze. It toasts fine from frozen and doesn't have the toxic preservatives of processed white bread.
Wholegrain bread with seeds
Complex carbs slowly release energy thanks to their natural fibre, so you stay full for longer. So when you fancy a sandwich, make it wholegrain and you'll actually eat it, rather than inhaling it. To go one better, eat your sandwich open-faced and you'll get a better balance of protein, veggies and healthy fats to your carbs.
Dark, heavy breads like rye and spelt
In addition to the wholegrain benefits, nutty-tasting dark breads are rich in magnesium, which can reduce your risk of type 2 diabetes. Enjoy your bread with healthy fats like proper butter (scientists have discovered the link between heart disease and natural saturated fat is a total myth (2)) or mashed avocado. Even better, top your toast with lean protein like smoked salmon.

New Eagle Scouts from Boy Scouts Troop 224, based at Suntree United Methodist Church, were recognized at the Brevard County Commission meeting July 12. Sixty-three have achieved the Eagle Scout rank since the troop's inception in 1995, and each new crop, up to eight at a time, are commended by the District 4 commissioner in the summer and in the spring.
"I am extremely proud of all of the Eagle Scouts produced here in the Suntree/Viera area. It speaks to the quality of life we have here in Brevard," Commissioner Curt Smith said.
The Troop has a reputation with its Central Florida Challenger District as an Eagle-making machine, charter church representative Jeff Sweet said.
"Scouting is a learning-dong journey for scouts, not just focused on making Eagle," Sweet said. The honor benefits a scout for life, he added.
"We have great support, an actual Eagle mentor, Gray Echols, an excellent, committed scoutmaster, Kevin Howald, and a very active troop committee chair, Lia Page, who also is the children's ministry director at the church, so it works out great," Sweet said. "The parents are very active leaders and volunteers as well. And the boys themselves all volunteer and help each other as their projects come to fruition."
The troop currently has 40 boys ages 11 to 17. Eagle Scouts recognized include:
- Zachary Elmer, who organized a school supplies drive for underprivileged children in his local community of Avalon Park and across Orange County, collecting more than $600 in supplies. The former Suntree resident, who chose to remain with his troop through Eagle, was commended for his efforts by the Orange County Sheriff Jerry Demmings. He received help from several of his fellow scouts and also members of the Orange County Sheriff's Department, who helped distribute the supplies.
- Mitchell Shafer, a Viera High School graduate who designed and replacing a triple-side information kiosk at the Ritch Grissom Viera Wetlands. For a full feature article and photos on the project, go to VieraVoice.com.
- Kevin Fee, the Holy Trinity Episcopal Academy graduate achieving Eagle Scout rank by designing, building and installing two boat lifts for racing sculls to be stored in the Space Coast Crew boat house.
- Brennan Wooden, the VHS grad achieving Eagle by organizing a landscape and beautification project for the northern courtyard of the SUMC host church.
- Mitchell Albright, who achieved his rank by removing old, overgrown vegetation and replanting new life that gave new meaning to the Prayer Wall area at SUMC, near the memorial garden where the ashes of the VHS grad's grandmother were laid to rest.
- Jonathan Hall, The Kingswood Academy homeschool grad who achieved his Eagle by providing SUMC's preschool and kindergarten with an outdoor Children's Science Learning Center, which includes wooden planters, a music corner, an interactive boat experience, a root system and a hop scotch area.

Can I save money?
Every year Open Enrollment for the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare, starts in November and people always ask what is the cheapest plan they can get? The answer is, it depends!
The Affordable Care Act allows for certain individuals to receive subsidies based on income levels. However, you must first meet a certain income level before you are allowed to receive a subsidy. What does this mean?
For an individual, you must make at least $16,000 per year to receive subsidies in many cases.? More information can be found at healthcare.gov about specific income levels.
Is there a downside to subsidies?
As with most things, there are caveats to subsidies. At the end of each year, your subsidy level will be compared to your IRS Tax Return to make sure that you actually qualify for the subsidies you received during the year for healthcare. If your income level is higher than what you reported on your application, you will owe money back to the government for the subsidies that you did not qualify for. This can be fixed by making sure you update any income levels that may change during the year to keep your subsidies and premiums at the proper amount.
How Can I Get Help?
We are here to help you during Open Enrollment as well as the entire year. Our team can help you determine if you are eligible for a subsidy, apply for insurance, and help you keep everything updated throughout the year. To get help, book an appointment using the button below. Or request a free quote, we are happy to help!

March 21 2020 @ 7:30pm EST | $30.00 (changed from 3/14)
Approximately 1 Hr
Prerequisites: None
Consent is your parrot's ability to communicate "yes" and "no" to you. It is a simple technique, yet once learned, your parrot is no longer the passive recipient in a benevolent dictatorship – they become opinionated co-authors of their own life experiences!
What if you could ask your parrot:
Do you want some warm tea?
Would you like a kiss? Or a pet?
Do you want to take a shower?
Would you like to go with Mom out in the car?
This introductory webinar covers the basic principles of target training, teaching your parrot to communicate "yes" and "no", as well as a vocabulary development.
Stop guessing and start talking today!
How do I sign up?
Spaces are reserved on a first-come, first-served basis. Click the Add To Cart button, then click View Cart, then Proceed to Cart.
In the Additional Information section please include your Facebook contact information as well as your name, your learner's name, their favorite treats, and a little info about your cute baby!
Can I purchase the webinar for a friend as a gift?
Yes but the purchase will be done separately (one for each person) as the Email address and contact info is registered for each participant.
Can pets really learn to read?
Animals are astonishing scientists all the time with their abilities and skills. While reading is a complex cognitive process, at its heart it is simply the ability to memorize the sounds and symbols of 26 letters… and then to correlate those sounds and symbols to objects and ideas, building vocabulary.
We believe almost any pet can learn consent–the ability to communicate with you using yes/no flashcards and the heart of our Fundamentals of Learning class!
Is there any research on this?
Jennifer is collaborating with Dr. Susan Clubb, DVM, researcher Dr. Lynn Perry at the University of Miami, and a variety of others to test and publish our findings.
Stay tuned for an upcoming announcements!
This is only a practice design setup in our research, and we're still training the birds, but you can see Isabelle reading three-syllable words under blind conditions! (I can't see the words on the binder!) 🙂

Because car accidents in Illinois happen for a number of reasons, sometimes it can be difficult to determine the at-fault party. This can be especially true if a crash was caused by brake failure. There are many rules to consider when trying to establish liability for a brake-related accident.
If an auto wreck occurred because of a mechanical brake failure, a driver could be held liable if it can be shown that their vehicle was poorly maintained or not maintained at all. This is because drivers are required by law to make sure that their vehicle's brakes, tires and other equipment are in good working order before driving. However, if it can be determined that a vehicle's brakes failed because there was a defect in its braking system, then liability would fall on the car manufacturer.
Distracted driving is another factor for which drivers can be held liable for brake failure-related damages. In many instances, rear-end collisions at intersections occur because drivers fail to pay attention. When drivers commit a traffic violation that threatens the safety of others, this is often regarded as evidence of negligence per se. Furthermore, because most states have distracted driving laws, distracted motorists can be held partially or fully liable for injuries and losses resulting from the crash. In some cases, both drivers may be at fault if they were each driving recklessly prior to the collision.
Car crash victims who are severely injured because of a negligent, speeding or distracted driver may want to pursue compensation for their injuries. An attorney could closely review the police report to help determine liability.

How tell if your Mac Supports Support Intel® Virtualization Technology
I was trying to see if my MacBook Air support HAXM for Android emulation and could not find a good resource to tell me how to find out what the processor number of my Mac was. So here you go!
Open a Terminal
- Go to Finder and press Command + Shift + U
- Select Terminal
- Type the following: sysctl machdep.cpu.brand_string
This returns something like this: machdep.cpu.brand_string: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-5650U CPU @ 2.20GHz
The BOLD part is the processor number so continue to follow the instructions starting at step 2 below: Does My Processor Support Intel® Virtualization Technology?
In my case, yes this process does!
As a short cut (don't have to look up the processor number) simply type: sysctl machdep.cpu.features
and see if it contains VMX

There were some upsets on quarterfinal day in the girl's competition at the 26th International Racquetball Federation (IRF) World Junior Racquetball Championships in Cali, Colombia.
In Girl's U18, American Lexi York came back from 10-5 down in the tie-breaker to defeat 4th seed Hawira Rojas, 14-15, 15-9, 11-10. York got down in the breaker, because she was skipped several shots on both the forehand and backhand sides. But match point came as a result of Rojas having her headband come off as she was setting up for shot that would have got her the serve back.
York will play top seed Lucia Gonzalez of Mexico in the semi-finals Friday, as Gonzalez beat Maria Cespedes of the Dominican Republic, 15-7, 15-12, in the quarters.
Two tie-breakers in U16, and it was the top two seeds who had play them with one of them winning and the other losing.

That could be the first time Mendez has not reached the podium when playing in a World Cup (U14, U16, U18) division.
In U14, there was a Bolivia-Bolivia match won by Wanda Carvajal, who beat team-mate Adriana Homsi, 13-15, 15-7, 11-7. Also, Mexican Ana Laura Flores defeated Maria Jose Muñoz of Ecuador, 15-5, 15-4, in the quarterfinals, and she'll play defending U14 champion Gabriela Martinez, who was a winner over Alexis Iwaasa of Canada, 15-2, 15-3.
Carvajal and Homsi will play for gold in U14 doubles, as they defeated Ecuador's Ivana Sempertegui & Adriana Homsi, 15-3, 15-7, in the semi-finals Thursday. Their opponents will be Monserrat Mejia and Andrea Ramirez of Mexico, as they beat Alejandra Jimenez Castillo and Rodaliza Perdomo of Dominican Republic, 15-11, 15-4.

AW15 Photoshoot: Behind the Scenes
- Posted on
After months of preparation and anticipation, it's here! Our autumn 2015 collection is arriving in store and online now, and we can't wait to see what you think of the new arrivals. We'll be showing you our key picks from the collection next week, but until then we thought we'd share some behind-the-scenes shots from our autumn shoot. Shot in the beautiful English countryside by photographer David Brooks, we showcased the new Tweed Quilted Jacket, Nehru Shooting Gilet, as well as the tweed tailoring, which is now available in five new tweed varieties.
We were blessed with glorious weather all day, and even the dogs were enjoying themselves.
A quick cheeky snap between outfits!

Home Office says 379 people detained in 12 months which includes most intense period of atrocities in recent history
The number of people arrested for terrorism-linked offences rose 68% to a record 379 in the 12 months to June, one of the most intense periods for terrorist attacks in recent history.
The Home Office said it was the highest number of terrorist arrests in a year since records began in 2001. They included 12 arrests linked to the Westminster attack in March, 23 connected with the Manchester Arena bombing in May, 21 arrests following the London Bridge attack in June and one in relation to the Finsbury Park van attack soon after.
The Home Office quarterly bulletin on the police's use of their counter-terrorism powers says 123 of those arrested were charged – 105 with terrorism offences – and 189 were released without charge. The rest were either bailed pending further investigation or faced alternative action.
So far, 32 of the 105 charged with terrorist offences have been prosecuted and found guilty and 68 are awaiting prosecution.
The number of terrorist prisoners in British jails has also risen in the past year, by 35% to 204. The Home Office said 91% of those in prison on 30 June held extreme Islamist views and a further 5% had far-right ideologies.
Police use of stop and search powers under the counter-terrorism laws rose by 17%, from 552 stops to 646. But the proportion of people arrested as a result of stops fell from 12% in the previous year to 8% this year.
The deputy assistant commissionerand senior national coordinator for counter-terrorism policing, Neil Basu, said six terrorist plots had been prevented since the Westminster attack in March.
"There is no doubt that since March and following the attacks in London and Manchester we have seen a shift-change in momentum. But while the terrorist threat has increased in recent months, so has our activity, reflected by this significant increase in arrests.
"We're taking every possible opportunity to disrupt terrorist activity – be it making arrests for terrorism offences, intervening where there are signs of radicalisation, or working with communities to prevent terrorists operating in their area," he said.
"Police, together with the security services are determined to make the UK as hostile an environment for terrorists as possible."
The figures show there have been 19 terrorist plots foiled in the UK by police and the UK intelligence community since June 2013. A broad spectrum of people have been arrested in connection with terrorism investigations in terms of age, gender and ethnicity.
"These figures show that there is no such thing as a 'typical' terrorist," Basu said.
"We're seeing young and old; women and men; all from a variety of different ethnic backgrounds and communities. It's therefore important that members of the public remain vigilant in all situations, and report any suspicious activity to police."

Visiting phd candidate - Department of Leadership and Organizational Behaviour
Ilka has worked in HRM related projects for a car manufacturer and the largest bank for private customers in Germany, the German Chamber of Commerce in China, and a Norwegian organization specialized in data management and web analytics. Furthermore, she has worked facilitating sessions of leadership development programs for consultancies in Germany and Norway.
Research Areas
With her research, Ilka aims towards understanding the role of organizational decision makers in creating inequalities and unequal opportunity structures by the way they systematically differentiate among their workforce. Examples of such structures are compensation plans, performance measures, talent management programs, and leadership development programs. Ilka tries to identify boundary conditions that reduce discriminating, unjustifiable differentiation, and the feeling of exclusion, while maintaining dispersion where it is desired and preceived legitimate.

|"Dirt That Moves MC" circa 197? from "Living The Life", biker photography book
The name of my old club "Dirt That Moves MC" was earned honestly by two of the founding members. After spending a month on the road with little more than the clothes on their back, and sleeping where ever they fell down, they pulled into a Harley dealership. It was raining buckets and they were looking for some shelter and free hot coffee. As they walked across the show room floor dripping puddles of muddy water behind, someone behind the counter said "here comes dirt that moves". With that a club was born. We wore the name proudly, and fought to keep its honor. We were an unorganized band of tightly bonded brothers, and damn proud of it.
Long May You Ride,

A personalised bottle of Angostura 1919 makes a great way to mark any special occasion. It's a multi-award winning, specially blended rum, created in tribute to a very special year in the development of rum in Trinidad and Tobago, and the Caribbean in general.
A fire in 1932 destroyed much of the countries rum reserves. The master blender of Fernandes Distillers, J.B. Fernandes, bought the casks and discovered that their contents were intact and that they had been filled in the year 1919. This rum was carefully combined with others to produce the 1919 gold blend.
If you'd like to enjoy a slice of rum history, then a bottle of 1919 is sure to provide it. And you will be able to make yours even more special with the help of our special engraving service. We will engrave whatever message you'd like into the glass using our laser engraving!

Bring Shooting Stars to DVD sign now
We, the undersigned, are all fans of the television series Shooting Stars broadcast by the BBC. At the time of writing this petition (1st September, 2008), whole series of the television program Shooting Stars are not available to purchase on DVD for personal viewing.
We would like all of the series of the TV show to become available for purchase and would gladly buy them when this happens. At the time of writing this petition, Shooting Stars is currently available to watch on the TV channel Challenge, but due to Advertisement Breaks, episodes are cut by up to 10 minutes in length, which is a shame as it is almost 1/3 of the episode. We would like to watch entire episodes in all their glory, without cut material or advertisement breaks. If additional or previously unseen content could be included on such a product then this would also be greatly received.
We wish to be able to enjoy the conventional panel game Shooting Stars and the surrealist humour of its hosts Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer at our leisure.
Therefore we request that the BBC and other relevant bodies or parties take action to bring this fantastic TV show to DVD.

Anirban Lahiri Off to a Good Start in Quest for PGA Card
Anirban Lahiri, one of the morning starters at the Sycamore Hills Golf Club, which is hosting the first event in a series of four to determine the final 25 cards for the 2016 PGA Tour schedule, had five birdies against two bogeys.
Anirban Lahiri continued with his punishing schedule in his quest for the 2016 PGA Tour card as was off to an encouraging start in the Hotel Fitness Championships in the Web.com Finals series.
World No. 40 Lahiri, buoyed by his qualification to the International Team for the President's Cup was three-under 14 holes and is now tied 3rd.
Lahiri, one of the morning starters at the Sycamore Hills Golf Club, which is hosting the first event in a series of four to determine the final 25 cards for the 2016 PGA Tour schedule, had five birdies against two bogeys.
He was three shots behind the leader Ricky Barnes, who was six-under through 16 holes and he was closely followed by Brian Davis and Brice Garnett, who were both five-under through 15 holes.
Lahiri, who has committed himself to playing only the first three events in the Finals, started with a three-putt bogey on the first but back to back birdies on the next two holes quickly brought him under par.
Further birdies on fifth and eighth and a bogey in between on par-3 seventh meant he turned in two-under. His fifth birdie on the day on par-3 11th brought him to three-under.
Lahiri's second bogey was also the result of a three-putt on the par-3 seventh. After picking birdies on both par-5s on front nine on second and fifth, he managed only a par on the par-5 after getting into the primary rough off the tee.
On the eve of the event, Lahiri had made it clear that he was going to play only three events of the four in the final and then take a week off to refresh himself for the President's Cup at the other end of the world in South Korea.
That also means he will need to make enough money to stay in Top-25 to make the card, while others are likely to play all four events including the Tour Championships.
Lahiri, when asked if that made it more difficult for him, said,"No, obviously, actually it actually makes it simpler for me. It makes it clear for me. Obviously, I'm here. I'm going to try and go for the win or get into a position where I can close it out without having to go to the fourth event.
"Obviously, if I was to look at my schedule and prioritize, the Presidents Cup takes precedence over everything else. So it was a no-brainer for me to go back and get a few days off before I head to Korea.
"In terms of playing new courses, I think of every event that I've played this year in America and Europe every single one of them has been pretty much on a new course. So it's something that I've kind of gotten over mentally about whether I'm comfortable or not. I just get there and I treat it like every other event."
He added,"You don't know what's going to happen. I mean, Whistling Straits was the first time for me, turned out pretty good. Some other events didn't turn out so good. I think at the end of the day if I should play good quality golf, it shouldn't matter if I'm playing for the first time or not.
"In my mind, I believe I'm going to get my card in three events. So hopefully I can play my A-game and get it done." Lahiri, who has travelled back and forth from Asia to Europe and US and back more than a few times this season, added,
"Obviously, my career has taken an upward swing. It is kind of a bit like deja vu because I was at Q-school last year in Europe around the same time. Trying to do the same thing to get to the next level. Things have turned out pretty good since then, and I'm hoping I can continue that trend by getting my card these next few weeks," he concluded.

Miami head coach Cam Cameron, the former offensive coordinator of the San Diego Chargers, will now be looking at his former coaching partner from the other sidelines on Sunday when the Cowboys come to play the Dolphins. For the last three years, Wade Phillips and he were main elements in a team that went to the AFC Championship game. Phillips was the defensive coordinator and Cameron the offensive coordinator on a very good Chargers team, of course if you have a player like LaDanian Tomlinson, it wouldn't be that terribly difficult to be the offensive coordinator.
So the coaching match-up this Sunday will be extremely important for both teams, especially with both having lost key defensive players in Week 1. To say that both coaches are very familiar with the other's style of play is to certainly state-the-obvious, but the question will be who is able to game-plan for that better than the other. This could be a very early indicator of just how good Coach Phillips can be as a head coach in the NFL. Add to that the fact that Jason Garrett served as the Dophins QB coach for the last 2 seasons, and it certainly seems to give an advantage to the Cowboys.
As for the performances of each team last week, the Dophins allowed the Redskins more yardage in one game than any team all last season with 400, 191 yards of it rushing, but only 16 points. However they still have some great defensive players in LB Zach Thomas and DE Jason Taylor. Of course the Cowboys gave up 478 total yards to the Giants and 35 points, but the offenses don't compare, and that's the best chance the Cowboys will have to win for now with such a beat up defense. If the Cowboys can keep Jason Taylor out of their backfield somewhat and give Romo time to throw, he should have another good game and lead them to victory.
Prediction: Cowboys 24, Dophins 17.

Eight years ago, May 2nd of 2011, Converge was incorporated as an organization with a big and audacious vision, two employees, a huge market, and hope to make a serious impact with the partners, people and work that we love. There isn't another industry that we ever want to work in or for. In 2001, we fell in love with Higher Education and after 20 years are still enamored. Over the last eight years we have worked with some of the most impactful, fun and engaging brands and people in the Education space. We have had mad success, made mistakes, learned and grown, to a team of 50 individuals in Raleigh, NC and Cedar Rapids, Iowa. The last four years we have made the Inc. 5000 list of Fastest Growing Companies in the US (which service businesses rarely do) because of the clients and people that put their trust in us. Today we are elated to say that we have joined the RNL team as part of their Higher Education family. Jay Kelly and I (co-owners and partners in the business since the beginning) will continue to work, dream and engage as part of the RNL team. We couldn't be more proud of this day or the opportunities that exist as we move forward with a larger, more comprehensive and amazing team! We do hope that you will join us in that journey.
Ruffalo Noel Levitz (RNL) is the recognized leader in providing strategic fundraising and enrollment management services and software.
For more than 40 years, colleges and nonprofit organizations have turned to RNL to enroll the students they want, help more students graduate and succeed, and build lifelong relationships with donors. Their mission is to make colleges, universities, and nonprofits successful and vibrant with inspired and relevant engagement in:
Enrollment management: Recruitment, marketing, and financial aid services that engage the right students for each campus.
Student success: Retention assessments, analytics, and career services so students achieve their educational goals and secure their first job in their desired field.
Fundraising management: Annual, digital, major, and planned giving services that identify and excite donors who are ready to give.
The Higher Education marketplace is in a continuous state of disruption from college admissions scandals to legislation on For-Profit institutions to affordability of a college degree. The ability to connect with prospective students and donors from an Omni-Channel approach is a constant challenge. Colleges weren't built with the orientation to operate as businesses. Many Colleges and Universities are looking for a trusted partner that can help them with research, technology, and recruitment/marketing operations to support their goals.
Over the past three years our clients have increasingly asked for more products/solutions to help with recruitment past the point of inquiry to applications. RNL has 40+ years of helping partners like ours to move students through lead nurturing campaigns, emails, communication flows, texting, chatbots and conversion activities across the finish line. They immediately bring to Converge clients a comprehensive and robust approach that is both focused on ROI and data driven.
RNL as an organization has an intentional strategy to focus on and engage in New & Next thinking from digital engagement to analytics and ROI. Their newly minted CEO Sumit Nijahawan who has a PhD from Brown in Engineering and an undergrad in Physics and Chemistry understands and appreciates the importance of Higher Education. His degrees have led him from a consulting career at PWC to CTO and CEO roles at a multinational data controls and analytics software company. His vision for what the RNL brand of companies can deliver on and become to assist Higher Education in more effective recruitment, enrollment and fundraising is inspiring and refreshing. Over the next few years you will be excited about the creative and innovation solutions that are on the roadmap for the future. This will help our clients to leapfrog the competition and go from apologizing because we are Higher Ed Exclusive to the best of both worlds- Innovative and Smart with people who understand how to apply this to our world.
RNL has a commitment to solving clients challenges and creating amazing partnerships and solutions focused on results. The RNL team has a proven track record in Undergraduate recruitment and Fundraising of incredible success. With the power of the Converge team's data, benchmarks, digital sophistication and research we know that all aspects of this product mix applied to graduate, online and adult will help our clients realize incredible success. We have layered on research, consulting and digital products that will revolutionize the work that these areas are doing and not make them dependent on OPMs to enroll and retain students.
The Converge name isn't changing in the immediate future. We have built a brand around doing new and next thinking and working with clients to realize tremendous results from our annual conference to continued partnerships. Over the next year we will determine how best to serve our markets and how the brand can most effectively be communicated. Net/net Converge was a strategic acquisition by RNL to layer on sophisticated digital to their products and to grow and enhance the current Converge customer. We love our clients, our partners, and are committed to Higher Education, regardless of our name.
Every Converge client will continue to engage with Converge teams exactly as they are today. No Converge employees have been laid off, in fact our goal is to grow the Converge digital team significantly as we enhance digital capacity of RNL clients including undergraduate and fundraising. We couldn't be happier to have additional support in the Finance, HR, Operations and Product areas. This is a complete win and will make both organizations stronger and to have the ability to serve all clients current and new in a more meaningful way!
Over the next few months RNL+ Converge will be hosting a series of webinars to further explore how this joint combination of services can impact the Education space. Reserve your spot for our webinar, From Inquiry to Enrollment: Comprehensive Higher Ed Solutions From Converge & RNL. We thank all of you for your incredible input into our vision for New & Next success. Jay and I personally would love to hear from you and would appreciate any feedback, thoughts or ideas that you have on how we can deliver the most impactful and beneficial products and services to the marketplace. We are eternally grateful for your support, trust and partnership.
All the best,

Love in the Highlands Tour
Blood and Roses by Cozie W. Harmon
Caught in a cycle of life, death and rebirth…
Cursed with immortality, Nicolei believes the vampire blood coursing through his veins means he will forever be alone. As he prowls through the countryside, draining peasants one after another, his hatred for his existence only grows. Until one night fate shows him a life of possibilities with a beauty that deserved more than a dingy tavern. Claiming Katarina was easy; taming her was more of a challenge. She would be the life or death of him with her mischief, but her bewitching ways would keep him chasing her for centuries.
Last Resort by Kate Roth
Real Time by Jeanine Binder
Twenty-five years of fame comes at a price for Nick, leaving him hard—a machine to produce nothing but his music. True to his British upbringing, he's very set in his ways. Things are just as he wants them—no deviance.
In steps Kate—a studio musician who, by a strange twist, manages to get hired into his band. Everything starts out with the boundaries firmly placed, and it doesn't take long for Nick to realize she's going to change his world. To his surprise, he's the one who is attracted to her first. She gets under his skin.
Living by the creed that letting people close gets you hurt, Nick stays driven in his commitments. He is a musician, first and foremost, but a turn of events leads him to investing in the recording company who produces his music. Can he handle this new venture, his music, and keep the woman he now loves?
