A PUB could be demolished and a new supermarket built if plans are passed.
The Pink Domino, in Catcote Road, Hartlepool, is proposed to be knocked down and replaced with a new Farmfoods store, creating 15 jobs.
Farmfoods, which sells frozen and long-life groceries, has lodged plans for the development with Hartlepool Borough Council.
The chain, which has more than 300 stores throughout Great Britain, is contracted to buy the freehold from The Pink Domino's owners Enterprise Inns.
Farmfoods says the pub is no longer viable and the store will fill a gap in demand for trolley shopping in the area.
Papers submitted on behalf of Farmfoods say: "The store will strengthen the offering in south west Hartlepool where there is a lack of food shopping choice.
"The pub is no longer economically viable and despite marketing no interest has come forward for its continued use as a pub."
The applicant says it is not viable to convert the Pink Domino building and propose to build a new store with 29 car parking spaces.
It states choice for food shopping in the area is limited and a lot of people are travelling elsewhere to do their main shop.
The application adds: "The new store will create approximately 15 new jobs which will be both part-time and full-time.
"The range of jobs created will be attractive to those looking for both full and part-time work, as well as those seeking their first employment opportunity. "Although locally listed the building has little merit. The public benefits of a modern, well-designed store on this prominent site outweigh the loss of the Pink Domino.
"The new store will enhance the character of the site and the setting of other businesses nearby."
The proposed opening hours for the store are 7am to 10pm Monday to Friday, 7am to 8pm on Saturday and 10am to 4pm on a Sunday.
Neighbours are being consulted for their views on the plans and have until October 31 to comment.
The council hopes to decide the application in around two months time.

A Chance Encounter
"I'm sorry. I don't remember your name." (What a coincidence, I'm thinking.)
As I'm reminding her, I remember her name and just how I know her.
For about six weeks last summer, the two of us sat in the bleachers every week for Little League practices and games. We never met up outside the Sportsplex, but we exchanged numbers and promised each other that we would. In just a couple hours a week, we learned all kinds of things about each other. Enough to carry on a brisk conversation with no awkward pauses one year later.
She told me she's moving. Her husband retired from the military and will be starting a new job. She didn't sign her kids up for baseball this summer becauses she thought everything was too uncertain. She was out on one final shopping trip with her best friend.
After we said goodbye, both of us wishing the other the best of luck, I couldn't help but feel as if I'd let an opportunity slip past me. I don't make friends all that easily, and yet I'd somehow managed to find one--for a few weeks--in her, enough so that after a year of silence it was still pretty sturdy. I must say, I wouldn't have otherwise given her a thought, but now I'll miss her. How weird is that?

I actually feel that way when a friend I haven't spoken to in a while "friends" me on facebook. I have "talked" to a number of friends from both high school and college since I joined facebook. It's been nice to re-connect with some of my old friends.

I know what you mean. I had a childhood friend connect with me on Facebook recently. I'm so excited to know that she's out there, but at the same time, I'm not even sure where to start the conversation.
Thank for reminding me to call when I say I'm going to...not exactly my strong point!

Hey, is this some kind of subliminal metaphor or something to induce shame in your readers?
*bursts into tears*
Because if it is, it's working fabulously.

Packsaddle, if I knew how to master the subliminal message, I think I'd go with, 'buy my book'. :)

When floods occur they can cause drastic damage and accumulate thousands upon thousands of dollars in repairs. Garage doors are typically equipped with a rubber seal at the bottom to prevent excessive rainwater from entering the garage. However, with rain amounts that equivocate to floods, this rubber stopper will be no match for the rain. In the event of heavy rainfall you can protect your investments by following a few of these tips as well as be prepared to avoid flood damage in the future. All of these steps combined could ultimately save you time and money when rain starts to pour.
Preparing for potential floods should happen long before the rain comes. Sealing a garage floor is a great way to help prepare for damages that could be costly. Large amounts of rainfall that flood your garage could sit there for long periods of time before water level goes down and can be properly managed, by sealing the floor you can prevent stains and structural damage to the cement.
In the event that you are aware that a storm or heavy rains are on the way, the most important thing you can do is remove all valuable objects from the garage. By securing your investments you can help alleviate the chance of items being ruined that cannot be replaced. By moving objects out of your garage you can also pinpoint where water is leaking through the worst and help alleviate the situation.
Another important aspect to consider when preparing for potential garage floods is how you keep the water out. Well the answer can be as simple as placing sandbags against the garage door walls. This technique has seemingly been around forever and does the trick to keep out heavy flood waters. This technique is cheap and could potentially save you lots of time and money. Using a squeegee broom or any other smooth object to keep the water concentrated is drastically important to keeping the water away.
Keeping your garage and garage door from structure and mechanical damage is crucial during floods. Any effort small or big to help alleviate flood damage goes along way. By following a few of these simple tips you too can avoid being another victim of flood damage. Above all prepare the best you can in advance the cost of repair are drastic and could cause problems for the future. Garage doors are the gateway to our homes and nobody wants a structured foundation. Prepare and invest in garage doors specifically designed for heavy rains, sealed garage doors are available, however are extremely expensive. If you have any questions contact your local garage door company and see how they can help you prepare for the future.

Getting your child into the school of your choice is hugely important, but how do you start in selecting which school is the best?
The years a child spends at primary school are the most vital in a school career. It's here that he or she will become - or fail to become - literate, numerate, sociable, intellectually curious and able to concentrate.
If your child's nursery is attached to a primary - and you're happy with it - the transition to 'Big School' should be smooth. If not, you'll have to do some shopping around. Talking to other parents is fine, but be wary. Their children may be very different from yours, and they may have different ideas about what makes a good school.
Draw up a shortlist
You have the right to say which school you want your child to go to, whether the school is inside or outside the area you live in. However, popular schools fill up fast and may give preference to those living nearer, so it's never too early to make enquiries. It makes sense to start by looking at local schools - no tiring journeys and your child will have neighbourhood friends. If you are not offered a place for your child at the school you have chosen, you have the right to appeal to an independent panel.
Most schools will be happy to show you round and answer questions - if not, you should wonder why. Positive signs in a primary school :
Try to meet the Head - they have a huge influence on the school. Ask about the school's policy on bullying, medical or emotional problems, and how the school gets parents involved.
You should never assume your child will get a place at a school without you having to do anything. You have to apply to a school. Even if your child is at a nursery linked to an infant school, or an infant school linked to a junior school, you still need to make an application to move them on to the next stage.

Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) on Wednesday, November 21, 2012 rated Nigeria as the WORST country to be born in out of all the countries analyzed. Nigeria occupies the 80th position of the 80 countries that were assessed. In the "Where-To-Be-Born Index" 2013, Nigeria has the lowest score 4.74 points, making the country stand at the 80th position. By this report, Switzerland is the best country to be born in with 8.22 points. United States of America and Germany occupy the 16th position with 7.38 points apiece.
South Africa is the best country to be born in on the African Continent standing in the 53rd position with 5.89 points while Algeria is second best country to be born in on the African Continent making the 54th position with 5.86 points. The EIU report is based on political and social stability, crime rates, access to quality healthcare services, the diversity and standard of cultural events and the natural environment, quality of education facilities, and the standard of infrastructure, including public transport. In September this year, the EIU conducted a research revealed Melbourne, Australia as the best City in the world for anyone to live in, followed by Vienna, Austria and Vancouver, Canada. Dakar, Bangladesh, lead the worst city to live in while City of Lagos ranked 138th of 140 cities, to earn the third city with the worst living conditions trailing Nairobi, Kenya (124), Lasaka, Zambia (126), Dakar, Senegal (129), Abidja, CoteD'voire (131) and Douala, Cameroon (133). However, as genuine as these two reports are, some Nigerians who bared their minds on these report through different radio-live-conversations, condemned these reports entirely. Some said the reports were politically motivated while others said it was calculated to damage the reputation of the country. Meanwhile, many Nigerians see the reports as the true reflection of the situation in the country. They pointed at the health sector and asked if Nigerians can say with sincerity of heart that health sector is functioning. For instance, if patient is rushed to either a public or private hospital under emergency, he will never be attended to if the initial deposit demanded by the hospital is not meant. Is this not dehumanising? In decent societies where life is more valuable than money, life would be saved before they talk about money. Nevertheless, in Nigeria, the reverse is the case as hospitals demand for money before they attend to patient in critical conditions. I have a living witness around me. There was a woman who was in labour and needed caesarean section but she was not attended to till she was able to raise the money the hospital demanded for operation. However, before she could raise the money for the operation, the baby had become tired and after the operation, the baby became deformed. The baby is now two years old but can neither sit nor stand on his feet. Stories like this abound across the country. If the health sector is good, why do our leaders patronise foreign hospitals? Let us beam our searchlight on the education sector. Can we say that the EIU report also lied against the education sector in Nigeria? If the education sector is functional, why do the children of our leaders and those of the rich attend foreign schools? Did the EIU also lie against the country about infrastructure and public transport? Do we have a national carrier? Do we have a national shipping line like other countries do? Thus, the reports of the EIU on Nigeria are unbiased and genuine. They are incisive reports about the state of things in the country. Our leaders should therefore study them carefully and make proper adjustment so that the citizens of this nation can heave a sigh of relief for once.

Plagued by penalties, Lions lose home opener to Titans, 16-15
Plagued by penalties, Lions lose home opener to Titans, 16-15
Quarterback Marcus Mariota converted a 4th down with a 9-yard touchdown pass to Andre Johnson with 1:13 leftto give the Tennessee Titans a 16-15 win over the Detroit Lions. The Lions (1-1) had an opportunity to set up a winning field goal in the final minute for a second straight week, but quarterback Matthew Stafford threw an interception to Perrish Cox at midfield with 18 seconds left.
And throughout the game, Detroit was flagged 17 times, matching the most penalties the team has had in a game since at least 1950. Even a key touchdown in the 1st half, which ended up being a field goal later, was called back due to offensive pass interference.
Next Sunday, the Lions begin division play as they travel to Lambeau Field to face the Green Bay Packers at 1 pm.

OEHHA intends to list TRIM® VX as known to the state to cause cancer via the authoritative bodies mechanism. OEHHA is providing this opportunity to comment as to whether the chemical meets the requirements for listing as causing cancer.
Proposition 65
Proposition 65, officially known as the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986, was enacted as a ballot initiative in November 1986. The proposition protects the state's drinking water sources from being contaminated with chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm, and requires businesses to inform Californians about exposures to such chemicals.
Proposition 65 requires the state to maintain and update a list of chemicals known to the state to cause cancer or reproductive toxicity.

Spoken English Becomes Important for Jobseekers
By Ryu Jin
Staff Reporter
"No more TOEIC scores! Show your skills with your tongue!''
It will be of little use to gain high scores in such noted English proficiency tests as TOEIC, TOEFL and TEPS for jobseekers seeking a position at the country's large business groups from next year, unless they have a good command of spoken English.
According to a survey by Job Korea , an online job information provider, Wednesday, three in every 10 companies said that they would change their evaluation methods for English in the course of recruitment.
Job Korea surveyed a total of 193 firms out of the country's top 300 enterprises, which take the English ability of the applicants into account in the course of recruitment, on Dec. 10-21.
About 26.9 percent of the respondents said that they would change their evaluation methods from 2008. About 40.4 percent of the firms, which plans the changes, said that they would strengthen both spoken English tests and face-to-face interviews.
Introduction of English speeches came next with 19.2 percent, followed by English interviews (13.5 percent) and others (9.6 percent) including listening comprehension and writing tests.
South Korea's English curriculum at schools has often been criticized for being improper in the era of internationalization, as it has been largely focused on written language skills such as grammar, reading comprehension and vocabulary.
Critics point out the reality, in which university graduates with high scores in TOEIC or other tests can hardly communicate with native English speakers, though the school curriculum has been changing to put more emphasis on spoken English in recent years
Samsung Group, the country's top conglomerate, now considers adopting the OPIc, a test for practical English largely focused on speaking ability, instead of the current tests which mainly assess reading and listening capabilities.
"We have not yet decided on whether to adopt the new method,'' a Samsung Group official said. "But it is true that we are considering some changes with every possibility open.''
Doosan Group also plans to beef up its speaking test for those who apply for Doosan Heavy Industries & Construction and Doosan Infracore, which are largely engaged in overseas businesses.
Korea Development Corporation has already decided to adopt English interviews, while SK Shipping is also set to introduce a speaking test to recruit talented people with global competitiveness.
"What is the use of having high scores if they do not guarantee the basic skills for communication?'' said an official from Daelim Industrial Company, which also adopted a face-to-face interview between applicants and native speakers.

The NAEP = National Assessment of Education Progress is the yearly federal test that is suppose to track the progress of American reading and math skills in various grades. I think it's an OK way to compare groups and different years, although I still think it's a huge mistake to set ANY bar that everybody is supposed to master as that allows the creation of a test where everybody is below "average".
Here are some highlights from Education Week: "Even within high-scoring states, however, the report shows significant disparities among subgroups of students. White students in Connecticut, for instance, produced an average reading score of 301, while African-American students' average in that state was 265. ...Achievement gaps among subgroups didn't shrink between 2005 to 2009 in either reading or math, even though all racial and ethnic groups and both males and females turned in higher average math scores than they
did in 2005. Progress was more uneven in reading: the only subgroups that made gains in the past four years were white students, males, and Asian-Americans."
Now going into the tables, what I find that they missed is that like on the SAT, Asian verbal skills have risen. Not only are Asians better in math, for the first time in 2009, Asians lead whites in READING. Unfortunately, wherever the numbers are, they will inevitably be used to promote ridiculous education "reforms" based on race / class / gender equity such as the disastrous "whole language" and "whole math" fads of the 1990s/2000s rather than insuring that everybody masters basic skills. These NEAP "advances" are even suspect because the NAEP have been aligned to promote fuzzy math and reading standards.
Data from tables in the report:
There are individual reports by state, with Massachusetts one of the higher scoring states in math. Scores were 163 vs 152 for national. By race, Asian scored 176 vs 167 for whites, 137/135 for hispanic / black. The report notes 32 pt black, 30 pt hispanic gap, but not the 9 pt Asian advantage which is small but a still significant 1/3 of the minority under-achievement gap.
The NAEP population is large enough that it can be expected to reflect actual population changes just like a census survey:
Percentage of NAEP by race for each year
Year 1992 1994 1998 2002 2005 2009
white 74 75 72 71 67 61
black 15 13 14 12 13 15
hispanic 7 7 10 10 17 17
asian 3 4 4 5 5 6
As nonhispanic whites approach 61 percent, it should not be a surprise that whites will be less than 50 percent at colleges where Asians can be expected to be double their 6 percent national population or more.
Asians about doubled from 3 to 6 percent since 1992. Hispanics more than doubled from 7 to 17, slightly outnumbering blacks. Whites declined from 74 to 61, blacks and native americans (1 percent) have stayed about the same.
reading results: Asians always lagged whites ... until 2009
92 94 98 *98 *02 *05 *09
white 297 293 297 297 292 293 296
black 273 265 271 269 267 267 269
hisp 279 270 276 275 273 272 274
asian 290 278 288 287 286 287 298<
nat-am 279 283
* accomodations (ok to make it easier)
Not surprising that students with higher educated parents had higher scores. Students seem to have more educated parents than adults in general as nearly half graduated from college, only 8 percent have not finished high school.
score pct tested in 12th grade
299 49 Grad from college
287 22 some after high school
276 17 grad high school
269 8 did not finish high school
Now in math, if you actually read the text, you'll find the rare admission that "the average score for Asian / Pacific Islander students was 14 points higher than for White students". Normally it is verboten to mention that ANY group does better than the supposedly imperialist = dominant whites, but there you have it. This table shows that everybody scored higher, but the gaps remained about the same, with blacks at about 24, and hispanic at about 24. That 14 point math gap is more than HALF the size of the white black gap. Again why is it politically correct to proclaim that a 24 point gap is absolutely unacceptable and proof of racism that can easily be erased by affirmative action, yet why in the blazes is a 14 point gap for whites completely OK and not worth noting in any newspaper article? Or why is that if an Asian who points this out can be accused of promoting Asian supremacy?
Year 05 09
white 157 161
black 127 131
hisp 133 138
asian 163 175
nat-am 134 144
Here's how test scores increase with education. The 14 point Asian gap is about the same as between those with parents with some education after high school and those who graduated from college.
164 grad college
150 after hs
142 grad hs
135 did not finish hs
This chart shows how test scores move up with the amount of math taken. Almost everybody, black ,white, whatever takes starting algebra, which is all you really need for a non-math college degree. In 2009, nearly half of students were in precalculus or calculus which is enough for a technical math/science degree.
score 05 - 09
121 8 5 - alg 1
127 12 10 - geometry
143 41 42 = alg 2/trig
166 21 24 + precalculus
189 18 18 = calculus

Two incumbents defeated, runoff for mayor and Ward 4By JAMIE PATTERSON,
- 1257 reads
Fri, 02/09/2018 - 3:36pm
A Democratic primary runoff election will be held for the city's mayoral and Ward 4 posts.
Voters will return to the polls Feb. 27 to determine the Democratic primary winner between mayoral candidates, the incumbent Diane Delaware and Joseph Thomas Jr.; and Ward 4 aldermen candidates, the incumbent Aubry Brent Jr. and Joe Freeman.
Two incumbent aldermen lost their seats during this week's primary election with Aldermen Dr. Jack Varner and Gregory Robertson both losing to their challengers.
Ardis Russell, a member of the Democratic Election Commission, said voter turnout in this year's municipal election was down. He said city-wide elections typically attract a little over 2,000 voters. However, that number was down in this year's election.
According to Yazoo County Circuit Clerk Robert Coleman, there are 8,674 active registered voters in Yazoo City. In Tuesday's elections, only 1,859 voted.
With five candidates vying for the mayoral seat, Delaware and Thomas garnered enough votes to head into a runoff. Delaware earned a total of 702 votes, 37.76 percent, and Thomas earned a total of 595 votes, 32.01 percent.
The other runoff election will include Ward 4 with Brent earning a total of 193 votes, 39.31 percent, and Freeman earning a total of 135 votes, 27.49 percent.
Within Ward 2, incumbent Varner lost to challenger Andre Lloyd by 19 votes. Lloyd had a total of 255 votes, 51.83 percent, to Varner's 236 total votes, 47.97 percent.
Within Ward 3, incumbent Robertson lost to challenger Sir Johnathan Rucker by 114 votes. Rucker had a total of 226 votes, 52.07 percent, to Robertson's had a total of 112 votes, 25.81 percent.
With no opposition, Ward 1 Alderman Ron Johnson will remain in his seat.
Russell added that all votes, including affidavit, have been accounted.
Russell said the election ran very smoothly with only a few issues, which were corrected quickly. He said two machines did go down, but they were soon back up thanks to a voting mechanic on hand.
"Considering the complexity of the election, which most aren't aware of, I think everything went extremely well," Russell said. "Our poll workers are the best in the state. We had hospitality from the city clerk's office and extreme backup from the Yazoo County circuit clerk."
Russell said there may be a few who would like to revisit the boxes, but no official challenges have been declared.
The runoff election will be held on Tuesday, Feb. 27, with polls opened from 7 a.m. until 7 p.m. Voting precincts include Ward 1 at the Yazoo City Community Complex, the former junior high school; Ward 2, the Teen Center; Ward 3, the Washington Street fire station; and Ward 4, the L.T. Miller Community Center.
The winner of the mayoral primary will face independent Theodis Freeman in the general election on April 2.

The olm, or proteus (Proteus anguinus), is a blind amphibian endemic to the subterranean waters of caves of the Dinaric karst of southern Europe. It lives in the waters that flow underground through this extensive limestone region including waters of the Soča river basin near Trieste in Italy, through to southern Slovenia, southwestern Croatia, and Herzegovina.[2] The olm is the only species in its genus Proteus, the only European species of the family Proteidae, and the only European exclusively cave-dwelling chordate. The other six species live in the east part of USA, mostly in surface waters.

We are heading into the final 4 weeks of Semester 1, as our whole school begins Semester 2 on Monday 15 June. As we move closer to the end of the semester assessment tasks are due, exams are looming and our students find it a very challenging time. I'm sure you have already started to see this and rest assured you are not the only family going through it. How our students deal and respond to these stressful times is very different, here are some tips on how you can help.
From a parents perspective I would encourage you to keep as calm as possible, which I know can be very difficult. It's awful to see our children and students stressed, but life is stressful and helping them to build strategies to deal with the stress will pay off in the long run. If you are concerned though please contact the classroom teacher or the homeroom teacher for a chat, they will be able to clarify tasks or concerns and sometimes things aren't as bad as they appear.
The exam timetable will be published shortly and it is important that students get a head start with studying. This free parent study guide is a great resource, I would strongly encourage you to have a look.

Yesterday afternoon Tom and I met David and Angel at Angel's house and drove up to Mountain High to go snowboarding. Since David was teaching Tom, Angel and I, his coworker took his girlfriend too (she had never been either) and we met them up there. It was pretty cold (well, 20s…) but after we got going we warmed up and it wasn't bad. I had so much fun! I am certainly not good at it, and we stayed on the bunny slope the whole time :), but it was a lot of fun and by the last run down the hill I was actually able to stay up and steer the whole way down! 🙂 The little "lift/moving sidewalk" thing wasn't working, so we had to walk back up each time, which definitely added to the workout and I think tired us out a little more quickly. By the last run, my legs were burning, but it was great! I wished I could do a few more runs (it was almost 10 though and they were closing) because I was just getting better… I definitely want to go again!! (If for no other reason to at least justify all the money spent on clothes and such!!) My only problem (well, the most pressing one) is that I cannot for the life of me get back up when I fall! Well, if I can roll over then I can get up backwards, but that's not the best position to be in! I had to have Tommy or David pull me up each time. It probably didn't help that because I had so many layers on I was quite fat and couldn't bend very well! 🙂 Before I got decent at stopping, I would just fall backwards to stop (and I think I have bruises to prove it!) but then I couldn't get back up again! BUT, it is definitely easier than learning to surf, so I think I might switch…sorry Tonia, but I will still visit. 🙂
Anyways, here are some of the awesome pics I promised. 😉
Becka permalinkDecember 29, 2008 9:32 am
How fun!!! I loved the pics! Matt keeps wanting us to go skiing, but it is expensive and we haven't had time yet. Maybe next year. 🙂
Antonia permalinkDecember 30, 2008 8:37 am
Wow how fun! Bobby and I were talking to this guy at a surf/skate shop up here and he said alot of people up here snowboard. We asked where and he said Mountain High. We both started laughing – since it is such a drive even from down there – we thought he was going to tell us of a place up here.

"Its very important to be bold in Bollywood. Bold in the title doesn't mean lesser clothes or sexual commutations. Bold here means you need to be strong and independent, " Sandeepa, who made her Bollywood debut with the 2010 film "Isi Life Mein", said in an interview here.
Sandeepa believes "her decision of becoming an actor is very bold in itself", and she considers that "a bold attitude" is a must to survive in showbiz.
"You need to be bold in you attitude in order to survive in Bollywood, " she said.
Directed by debutant Rikshhit Matta, the film also stars Hazel Keech and Shweta Bhardwaj in the lead and revolves around three aspiring actresses who come to tinsel town to make it big.
Jiah, who made her dream debut in filmdom with Ram Gopal Varma's "Nishabd" starring megastar Amitabh Bachchan in 2007, ended her life June 3.

How to pass the tax-efficient test
Feburary 12, 2018
Due to the continued strength of the bull market, your taxable clients may face capital gains in 2017. Some active funds in particular may issue large capital gains distributions. When you analyze your clients' potential tax liability as they prepare tax forms ahead of the filing deadline in April, here are some tips to consider now and going forward:
Location, location, location
We believe the best way for advisors to help their clients manage capital gains and investment income is through asset location. You can possibly add to your clients' net returns by holding the least tax-efficient investments, including some active strategies, in tax-advantaged accounts.1
The table below shows how you might improve the tax efficiency of your clients' portfolios through a strategic approach to asset location:
Focus on broad-market ETFs
Active equity funds have tended to have higher portfolio turnover than index funds and, therefore, have historically distributed more capital gains.3 Moreover, net redemptions from active equity mutual funds, usually in favor of index funds, ETFs, or lower-cost actively managed options, have been a trend in investment flows in recent years.4 Outflows from high-cost active equity mutual funds continued in 2017 at about the pace of 2016, resulting in managers having to sell positions that have risen in value to meet withdrawals. And that triggers capital gains distributions.4
Focus on after-tax returns
In portfolios that deploy both passive and active strategies, a disciplined approach to both asset allocation and asset location can make a significant difference in terms of what your clients reap in net returns.
The graphic below of ten-year outcomes for four hypothetical $1 million 60% equity/40% bond portfolios shows the value of rigorous asset location to minimize the tax toll and thereby maximize after-tax returns.
But while you zero in on tax efficiency, don't be too distracted by capital gains. Your clients' after-tax returns are more important. As the old axiom makes clear it's not what you earn, but what you keep. In other words, high costs can hurt more than capital gains taxes, and low costs have been a greater contributor to after-tax returns than taxes.5
Vanguard funds score highly on both fronts. While only one Vanguard equity ETF had capital gains distributions in the past six years,6 simultaneously Vanguard ETFs® are frequently among the lowest-cost funds available, period.7
For a closer look at what these characteristics mean in a portfolio, let's look at a comparison of two hypothetical portfolios, one indexed and the other actively managed.
Test portfolio tax efficiency
The above figure shows median tax cost for a portfolio of index and active stock funds for the 15 years ended October 31, 2017. The median tax cost for the portfolio of index stock funds was 69 basis points, while the median tax cost for the actively managed portfolio of stock funds was 109 basis points. Tax cost in this example refers to the before-tax return of a fund minus its preliquidation after-tax return.
While your clients' particular allocations may vary, and while tax initiatives could affect clients in different ways, tax cost represents a very high hurdle for higher-cost active managers to overcome. But by being disciplined about crucial variables such as asset location, we believe your clients' tax liability may be reduced. In the meantime, Vanguard will keep advisors updated on potential tax reform.

7 Eight Vanguard fixed income ETFs paid capital gains in 2016, compared with the 20 equity and fixed income BlackRock ETFs that paid capital gains of up to 26.6% of NAV. The only Vanguard equity ETF to pay capital gains taxes in 2016 was the REIT ETF, which invests only in real estate investments. As of December 31, 2016, the average expense ratio of Vanguard ETFs on an asset-weighted basis was 9 basis points, compared with 18 basis points for State Street Global Advisors ETFs and 25 basis points (the industry average) for ETFs from BlackRock (iShares).

We are always on the lookout for the next next breakout player, the one we are going to target off the waiver wire. While it's not always easy to find, there are definitely a few players that are worth watching this week to see if they can show early signs of an emergence. Who are they? Let's take a look:
Zay Jones – Wide Receiver – Buffalo Bills
When the Buffalo Bills traded away Sammy Watkins they opened up an opportunity for their rookie wide receiver to emerge as the go to guy. Obviously the offense will still run through LeSean McCoy, but someone needs to catch the football
Sure they acquired Jordan Matthews, but it's been proven that he's miscast as a top wide receiver and a better fit as a complimentary piece being used out of the slot. Charles Clay has shown potential, but he is what he is and only once has he surpassed 60 catches (69 back in '13) or 605 yards (759 in '13).
That leaves Jones, who gets to get his feet wet against an abysmal Jets' team and will have Tyrod Taylor at quarterback. It all is pointing in the right direction and the rookie could be one of the bigger surprises of Week 1 (and, in turn, carry the production throughout the season).
Robbie Anderson – Wide Receiver – New York Jets
We all know how bad the Jets' offense is, so why would one of their wide receivers appear here as a player worth watching? Someone has to catch the football, and Anderson arguably has the highest upside while opponents focus on stopping Bilal Powell. The team also has added quite a few veterans late in the offseason, which will help distract from Anderson and his upside:
- Jermaine Kearse (WR)
- Jeremy Kerley (WR)
- Will Tye (TE)
Of course none of those three are going to be difference makers and Anderson, entering his sophomore season, showed signs last season (42 receptions, 587 yards, 2 TD).
Brandon Coleman – Wide Receiver – New Orleans Saints
Willie Snead is suspended for the first three weeks of the season, and that's going to mean that there's an opportunity for someone to step up. While Coleman isn't going to be the top receiver (Michael Thomas), he could operate as the #2 target ahead of Ted Ginn Jr. and Coby Fleener. With Drew Brees under center, that's an enviable spot to be in and Coleman could easily entrench himself as a go to target all season long.
At 6'6" and 225 lbs. he could be a force in the red zone and he's entering the "magical" third year where a breakout is possible. Remember, when coming out of Rutgers NFL.com described him by saying:
Big, tall, talented, West Coast receiver whose sheer size enables him to be effective outside the numbers, on slant routes and in the red zone, though inconsistency has prevented him from reaching his potential.
Having spent time in the NFL and growing comfortable in the offense, now could be the time for him to take a significant step forward.

New point-to-point speed cameras are to be activated on the South Eastern Freeway in the Adelaide Hills in a bid to encourage more drivers to stick to speed limits.
The new cameras on the 13.5-kilometre stretch of freeway between Mt Barker and Callington will be turned on on Tuesday.
They calculate the average speed of vehicles between two points and also the actual speed at each camera location.
Road Safety Minister Tony Piccolo says around 47,000 vehicles use the freeway each day.
"The cameras aim to modify driver behaviour by ensuring motorists are keeping to the signed speed limit and help make the freeway safer for all road users," Mr Piccolo said.

The bathroom has become one of the new focal points of the home. With unique finishes, luxury accessories and interesting details widely available – it is easy to turn your utilitarian space into a private retreat from the world.
Hotel inspired
The high-end feel of boutique hotel bathrooms has become our new source of inspiration when creating the ultimate room to pamper ourselves within the home. Light and space is all important with designers focusing on luxury finishes, generous baths, rain-showers and a sophisticated colour palette.
Offering a furniture-style approach to bathroom cabinetry, designer bathroom specialist CP Hart is a one-stop shop for those wanting to create a slick finish.
Dan Cook, designer at CP Hart, says: "Pampering and relaxation are synonymous with hotel bathrooms and so we want to recreate that level of personal comfort in our own homes. The latest baths are deep and comfortable due to the versatility of new composite materials, which allow more fluidity in terms of shape. Shower enclosures are more streamlined, while shower heads are becoming increasingly nature inspired, replicating the cascading effects created by waterfalls or rainfall. Furniture is another key consideration – units should be decorative yet functional but not clinical, to ensure the room becomes a living and breathing space in its own right. Lighting is also important. For a private sanctuary-style bathroom, consider installing diffused down lighting, strategic spotlights or a chromotherapy bath, which uses light in a mood-enhancing or regenerative way."
For the wow-factor, The Albion Bath Company offers a range of stand-out baths and basins. Glossy black sinks, pewter-finish baths or classic-style tubs, available in a range of colour finishes, give drama and impact to a bathroom.
ErgoErgo's modern radiators also make a statement. The free-standing contemporary radiators or heated towel rails, which are shaped like ladders, marry beauty with practicality as they can be moved around and positioned where necessary, but also have a sculptural feel.
Leila Roberts, bathroom category manager at Fired Earth, renowned for its luxury tiles, gives her advice on how to add a touch of glamour to your design: "Eye-catching finishes and luxurious materials, such as copper and marble, really make an impact in the bathroom, adding a sense of glamour to even the most compact space. Opt for classic pieces such as a beautiful freestanding bath or a marble-topped console since they'll stand the test of time. Use bold tiling and splashes of colour to keep the scheme looking fresh and modern. Combine decorative flooring with one-colour walls (or vice versa) to allow statement pieces to take centre stage."
Offering top end bathroom furniture, Porcelanosa offers innovative and ground-breaking design. One of its latest launches is the Vitae collection, designed by the late Zaha Hadid and inspired by the fluidity of water. It includes baths with curvy lines, futuristic mirrors and avant-garde taps.
An easy way to ramp up the luxe-factor is to source accessories and accents that add a touch of glamour and warmth to a scheme. Zoe Brady, bathshop buyer at John Lewis, agrees: "The boutique hotel look is currently a big trend with many of us looking to make the bathroom a sanctuary to relax and unwind. Neutral palettes focusing on tones of grey are key, with opulent accents shining out through the use of accessories such as towel rails, mirrors and lighting. Faceted mirror and marble are popular. While chrome is a key metal colour for the bathroom, brass tones have continued to rise in popularity as they bring warmth and luxury to the room."
For those looking for an uber-luxe bathroom, inspiration is guaranteed at Italian bathroom designers Zucchetti.Kos. From its square bathtubs to the steam shower cabins, indulgence is its ethos. "Symmetrical layouts will help you to achieve the hotel look," says Sarah Harris, brand manager at Zucchetti.Kos. "Start by creating a focal point in the bathroom with the use of double or twin basins as well as statement mirrors and build the rest of the scheme around this central point. Include accents of wood and high shine brassware to add to the sophisticated theme and achieve an overall boutique hotel feel."
Organic made easy
Natural textures – such as wood, bamboo and stone – feel perfectly at home in the bathroom. Shimu's bamboo towel ladder and wooden footbath give a lovely rough-hewn effect, while Scandi Living's raffia baskets and oak hooks further compliment a scheme inspired by the natural world. Add in the bamboo 'bath mats' from Rockett St George for a textural layer.
Real marble with its vein-effect also gives an organic finish but can be pricy. Available at The Stone and Ceramic Warehouse are unique marble-effect porcelain tiles, which are an affordable and practical alternative.
Chris Grainger, managing director, The Stone & Ceramic Warehouse, comments: "Not only is real marble often unaffordable for most people, it can also create application issues due to its extreme weight. Marble effect porcelain, on the other hand, gives an impressive finish. A computerised program prints the marble vein pattern with a 'natural' variation from tile to tile; the reproduction is so accurate that our porcelain often gets confused for the real thing. Recent technological advances have also meant that marble effect materials are now available in large format tiles. These are excellent for making spaces appear bigger than they are and creating the ultimate luxe look of marble at the fraction of the price."
Amtico's vinyl flooring also comes in natural finishes and is another cheat's way to recreate the look of slate, stone and timber, but without the necessary expense or upkeep. "For a raw, organic feel that is currently in vogue, opt for the soft tones of the grey slate or the classic oak style," says Karen Quarterman, product design manager at Amtico. "Smoky hues, smooth lines and organic layers deliver soft flow to open areas and intense drama to intimate spaces. Analogue photography, darkroom processes and the movement of light are the inspiration behind the innovation that created the unique, non-repeating patterns."
Unique materials
The latest bathroom designs are combining a mixture of finishes to give a fresh, modern feel. Copper, stone, marble and metallic effects compliment each other and touches of each can look innovative and chic.
Metal finishes, for instance, work well with natural materials and bring a sense of glamour. Brass and pewter give an old-world charm while brushed, matt metals give an industrial look. Whether you opt for a stunning copper bath, like those at The Albion Bath Company, or go for a smaller splash in metal hardware, towel rails and shower fixtures, the use of metals can uplift and inject light into a bathroom.
For a talking point opt for a statement sink, like those available in a range of unusual materials at Unique Sinks (above). The company makes gorgeous circular sinks in semi-precious stones, such as the emerald green malachite or the deep blue lapis lazuli, as well as pretty mother of pearl versions and hand-painted Mexican floral designs.
Noted for its luxury bathrooms, Cambridge Kitchens and Bathrooms has seen a demand for customers looking to use different materials in their bathroom, in a quest to create a bespoke room that is unique to them. Sarah Wade-Gledhill, director, reveals: "Copper mosaics and stainless steel pebble mosaics are the latest new trends," she says. "Wet rooms are popular and because of this, the tiling can run throughout giving a clean look and making the room feel more spacious. People no longer want bulky shower trays that are difficult to clean and are opting for free standing baths and sinks, such as the Cape Cod model from Duravit. Mood lighting and niches in the wall give the final luxury flourish."
Meanwhile, at Cambridge-based Mandarin Stone, it's marble that is currently in vogue. "Marble oozes natural beauty and timeless elegance, it is also practical and hard-wearing," says director Louisa Morgan. "For a more modern twist to this classic material try the 'Pyrenees' mosaic chevron design and accessorise with a marble basin, such as the 'Calacatta Pluto' basin. The 'Palisandra' marble floor also gives a beautiful luxury finish."
Sarah Harris, brand manager at Zucchetti.Kos, also agrees that it is a 'mix and match' approach that is currently bang on trend: "Due to the growing popularity of spa-like bathrooms, the trend for luxe materials and richer tones has become prevalent," she says. "Consumers are beginning to experiment more in terms of texture, colour and finishes and, with the wide range of choices available in the market today – from luxurious marble surfaces to colour taps and bright accessories, – different elements can be put together for a bespoke bathroom to suit the homeowner's own style and taste."
Available at tile specialist Reed Harris is the new Cocciopesto collection of porcelain floor and wall tiles, providing a contemporary take on a traditional material to great effect. Karen Brimacombe, Reed Harris' business development manager, says: " "This chic and sophisticated new range gets its name from, and plays homage to, the decorative technique of Cocciopesto, which was used in ancient Greece and Rome and saw tile fragments mixed with mortar to create an incredibly durable material. Featuring a beautiful, handcrafted look, Cocciopesto tiles see the markings of terrazzo paired with plain cement. Particularly noteworthy are the beautiful dual colour hexagon tiles, which can be used to create unique, eye-catching designs for a real tailor-made look."
Colour effect
While white sanitary-ware is here to stay, colour is making a comeback in other areas of the bathroom.
Harry James of Cambridge-based Flawless Kitchens and Bathrooms, comments: "I have found that people are going for more simple, clean lines in their bathrooms. In fact, the days of fully-tiled bathrooms seem to be going out of fashion and while neutral colours, such as white and cream, seem to be the most poplar for bathroom furniture, it nonetheless gives a good foundation to add splashes of colour elsewhere, in the form of flooring, accessories, paint or wallpaper"
Charlotte Cosby, head of creative at colour specialists Farrow & Ball, agrees: "Bathrooms are often painted white or neutral tones, but they are actually a great space to add colour or pattern in your home. Bathrooms are often smaller and lacking in natural light so people choose to paint them neutral tones in the hope of creating light and space, however this can often create quite a dull space lacking in character. Instead using a bold colour like Hague Blue, Brinjal or new colours Vardo and Inchyra Blue will create a dramatic, cocooning look that's full of character."
As well as the potential to add colour on walls, a good way to add interest to an otherwise neutral colour-scheme is with statement flooring. Geometric patterned tiles or brightly patterned encaustic tiles, such as those available at Spanish tile specialist Alhambra Tiles (above), are the latest thing when teamed with an all-white bathroom.
The trend also feeds into another fashion for artisanal tiling. Instead of mass-produced tiles that all look alike, hand-crafted tiles, considered beautiful for their imperfections, will infuse a bathing space with rich texture as well as visual appeal.
For those wanting a lesser commitment, however, add your hues by complimenting a neutral bathroom with bold accessories – fuschia, purple and black – are the latest statement colours to add in with accents such as towels, soap dispensers and mats.
Create an ambience
At the end of the day, a pretty bathroom will turn into our ultimate retreat from the world. Create the perfect relaxing environment by choosing atmospheric lighting, luxe touches and window dressings to shut out the world.
For smaller bathrooms, The Window Film Company offers a range of stunning window films – such as the Frostbite or bright blue design in the Rainbow collection – that mean you can do away with the fuss of blinds or elaborate window dressings.
Wooden shutters, however, seem perfectly suited to the bathroom, giving an organic, plantation feel and can be chosen in white, for a utilitarian look, or a bright colour to add interest and to match a scheme.
Mark Carter, director at Shutterly Fabulous, advises: "If the bathroom is neutral enough, then opt for coloured shutters – look for a shade you may have in the floor or tiling detail. Take that colour and create a real focal point, and a pop of colour, by choosing shutters in the same shade."
For a rough-luxe feel, hide clutter in mismatched baskets and hang muted hammam towels, a range of both are available at Urbanara. Instead of the bog-standard bathroom mats usually available, opt for one of Dash and Albert's cotton rugs – in jewel colours, stripes or Fair Isle print. MiaFleur's marbled accessories and monochrome bamboo baskets add an opulent feel, while Oliver Bonas has a stock of modern geometric baskets, hexagonal mirrors and trinket pots to add a dash of personality.
A stack of thick, soft towels – like those available at Sheridan – is an essential in any bathroom, while the correct lighting can also change the mood from practical to inviting. Vita Copenhagen's Ripples pendant and Conia lights create a stylish effect when hung in a group, while Besselink & Jones' over-mirror light fittings give the optimum amount of light for practical make-up and skincare sessions.
Finally, Karen Wallis-Smith, director at lighting specialist Fritz Fryer gives her lighting tips for creating the perfect ambience: "Place a wall light either side of a mirror at face height, this provides the best lighting and helps to eliminate shadows. A more economical option would be to place one wall light in the centre above a mirror. Having the bathroom lighting on a dimmer system gives you the option to combine task lighting with a more ambient soft light when needed. By matching the finishes and materials of your lights with other metal hardware in the room such as the taps and door handles it helps to create a cohesive feel."

The Killer Rabbit
You may remember an earlier entry where I showed some pictures of The Black Beast of Aaaaarrrrrrggghhh which I had sculpted to serve as a Behemoth element in the army. Well, a couple of years ago I also sculpted another creature from that movie - the Rabbit of Caerbannog, AKA the Killer Rabbit.

Beautiful little diorama! I'm just commenting to say that your stated aim of "finding time for my interests and hobbies" is doing exceedingly well if you were judging by this blog! You're doing better than me with only one child of 16 months (of which I am the primary carer however)!
Maybe you could cut down ever so slightly on one and come to critical mass once a month. That certainly helps me get my gaming fix. It is however not so good for 2 player games and longer games.
That said, we could quite easily organise an overlord scenario for memoir'44. I've got eastern front as well. Of course friendless would have to be involved.

Hey Mikey! I don't have as much time as my blog may indicate. The majority of photos are of miniatures that were completed years ago (pre-kids). My only miniatures project at the moment is my Dwarves and it's taken me six weeks just to get them prepared for painting!
Most of my blogging is done in the quiet hours pre-dawn when my family is still asleep. I will usually write several entries at a time and have them ready to just upload when I get home from work in the evening.
You're right, finding time to game with little kids can be difficult. The Critical Mass game nights were fun but I felt pretty exausted afterwards. I tend to prefer small game groups or one on one gaming now. But hey, a Memoir '44 overlord scenario is tempting though...

Well done!!! And your black beast is top notch as well.

One of the many reasons that women, and occasionally men, come to see me for weight loss advice is because they want to start a family, but are struggling. Did you know that obesity is a major cause of difficulty getting pregnant - and can increase the risk of miscarriage or problems during pregnancy and childbirth? In fact, there is a significantly greater risk of diabetes during pregnancy if you are overweight - and this can affect the future health of your child as well as you.
Some women end up seeking help with IVF (in-vitro fertilization) or other forms of fertility treatment, but this isn't usually funded unless women are below a BMI of 30 or under the age of 40 - which is why I get women coming to me for weight-loss surgery.
Thinking of starting a family is a great incentive to lose weight, but you have to make sure you do it in a way that is good for you - not by fad dieting which will starve your body of essential nutrients just at the time when you and your unborn child need them most. In fact, some studies suggest that a mother's diet, even before she actually gets pregnant, can affect the health of her child. So instead of crash dieting, treat your body with the care and respect it deserves:
- Fill it with the most nutritious food you can find
- Keep active to ensure you are as fit as you can be
As a result, you'll be rewarded with a slimmer, healthier body, and not only this, you will find it easier to get pregnant too.
I asked top fertility expert and NHS consultant Valentine Akande to give us the lowdown on how obesity affects fertility and pregnancy:
Photo supplied by FertilityBristol.com
Being overweight, obesity and infertility
If you are intending, or trying to get pregnant, being overweight or obese can affect your chances of getting pregnant, having a normal pregnancy and a healthy baby.
Research evidence shows that being overweight can contribute to period problems, hormonal imbalances, lack of ovulation, resistance to fertility treatment and therefore fertility problems particularly in women with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS).
There is a higher risk of miscarriage, higher risk of abnormalities of the baby as well as still birth in women who are overweight. The pregnant overweight mother is also at higher risk of diabetes, high blood pressure and difficult or complicated delivery of the baby by Caesarean or forceps.
Small changes, big results
In women with PCOS who have infertility due to problems with ovulation, even a 10% loss in weight can result in return to normal ovulation. As such, losing weight before trying to conceive will improve the likelihood of ovulation, improve fertility and reduce the risk of problems in pregnancy and improve the chance of having a healthy baby.
In more challenging obesity cases there is evidence that "bariatric surgery" can result in an improvement of the hormonal profile, improve fertility as well as reduce the risk of miscarriage.
It's not all on you...
In men, being obese can cause the following problems: reduced semen volume, a reduced sperm count and increased sperm DNA damage. Losing weight will improve these parameters.
In summary, if you are planning to get pregnant in the next year or few years, healthy eating and regular exercise to maintain a normal weight can boost your fertility and improve your chances of having a healthy baby. If you have challenges losing weight seeking expert help would be of benefit.
