Skin game changer
I have been using this product for 27 days now and it has CHANGED. MY. LIFE.
My complexion is smoother, my pores feels smaller, and the best part is no more breakouts (Hallelujah!!). This would definitely be on my must-have-on-a-deserted-island list.
Pro: Super easy to use. Smells nice. Feels cool and tingly on the skin.
Con: At $88 per pack (includes 30 2-step towelettes) it's not cheap. But I cut them in half to get double the mileage. Plus, it's less expensive than getting once-a-month facials.
Verdict: Skin game changer.
Seeing my body with fresh eyes. (Cup of Jo)

'Ghost of Tsushima' Is Finally Getting a Full Trailer Reveal at 'The Game Awards'
Sucker Punch Productions' 'Ghost of Tsushima is getting a new trailer during 'The Game Awards' this week, as revealed during Sony's State of Play stream.
Aside from Death Stranding, one of the most intriguing PlayStation 4 exclusives to have made an appearance at E3 2018 was Ghost of Tsushima. While Death Stranding was Hideo Kojima's latest adventure, Ghost of Tsushima is Sucker Punch Productions' latest title.
Though it debuted at the same time we saw a new trailer for Death Stranding, we haven't heard hide nor hair of the game since its colorful E3 debut. During PlayStation's State of Play presentation, we were given a short new trailer clip.
There was just one little rub: the video shown during the State of Play presentation was part of a larger one that's meant to debut during The Game Awards 2019 on December 12. That means there are still a couple of days until we get to feast our eyes on what's coming up with the satisfyingly samurai-tinged game, which looks positively excellent, from what we've seen so far. It will likely get a massive amount of screen time during the celebration, given that it's the system's next big exclusive.
Ghost of Tsushima is an action-adventure stealth game played from a third-person perspective. There's a massive open world for players to explore, all without the typical waypoints you might normally see in a game of this nature. As such, players will travel around the world by horse while armed with tools like grappling hooks to travel around quicker than usual. From the look of things we've seen thus far (and interviews about the game), it has a lot in common with Souls-like titles.
There's a lot to take in, especially since the open world Ghost of Tsushima is set in takes place in 1274. It's a time when samurai still wander the globe, during the first Mongol Invasion of Japan. Players will take up the mantle of Jin Sakai, portrayed by Daisuke Tsuji. Jin is working to master a new fighting style, the way of the Ghost, in a bid to topple the Mongol Empire.
There should be plenty of action and intrigue for anyone looking to play what's essentially the video game adaptation of a samurai film on the vein of Akira Kurosawa. Seeing the game in motion recalls impressive graphics and swordfights, and cutting-edge character models.
It will also feature authentic Japanese dialogue with subtitles as player option. The idea is to immerse players in a world that feels as though it could have been a piece of Japanese cinema instead of just a game.
If you're interested in seeing more, you'll want to tune into The Game Awards when they air across various social media platforms, including YouTube and Twitch, They're set to air at 8:30 PM ET, and will feature at least 10 new game reveals in addition to footage of titles like Ghost of Tsushima, which we already know about.
In the meantime, feel free to keep replaying the short clip from State of Play 2019. It may just whet your shakuhachi.

In case you've been in a cave, you've noticed that there have been a TON of world records set in the swimming events at this year's Olympics. So many I didn't even bother to count (I'll save that for after the swimming events conclude tonight). To most track fans, this is a foreign concept. In track, world records are almost sacred. In many cases they don't get beat for 10 or even 20 years. In swimming, it seems they are broken both with regularity and in unbelievable fashion. We've already had some discussion why this might be the case but two interesting articles I found may shed more light on the issue. The first article is from the mental floss blog and actually gives six reasons why records are dropping like flies:
- The new suits that the athletes are using
- The depth of the pool- Beijing is 50% deeper than Olympic pools and allows for less turbulence on starts and turns.
- Empty pool lanes on either side of the pool- allows for less turbulence.
- Increased sponsorship of the sport which has in turn permitted more practice time for every athletes.
- Good ol' doping.
- Advances in stroke technique due to close work with sport scientists.
The second article actually poses a different viewpoint…basically saying that the pool would be even faster if the designer had had his way. Originally, his team wanted the pool to have porous walls, that would really absorb waves and reduce turbulence dramatically. They also apparently wanted to put flaps on the starting blocks that would give swimmers something to push off from. Apparently one of both of these advancements will be present at next year's swimming world championships where everyone (spectators, coaches, trainers, and athletes) in attendance is expected to break world records.

Wesley Walls embeds multi-level home into forested Arkansas hillside
American architect Wesley Walls has created a home for his family in central Arkansas that is composed of stacked boxes clad in stone, metal and glass (+ slideshow).
Called Two Rivers Point, the multi-level house sits on a steep slope and overlooks a river valley near Little Rock, the state's capital.
Encompassing 3,700 square feet (344 square metres), the residence was designed by the architect for his family of four.
Creating an aesthetic that was modern and restrained – as well as providing panoramic views – were key factors during the design process.
The result is a three-storey structure comprising two 22-foot-long (6.7-metre) bars stacked atop a boxy volume at the base. A flat, angled roof covers the rectilinear home.
"The design intentionally sidesteps trendy formishes in an effort to create a sophisticated, timeless residence," said Wesley Walls, a principal at the local firm, Polk Stanley Wilcox Architects.
The material palette was limited to stone, steel and glass, with the surrounding trees meant to add "colour" to the design.
The house is oriented to the north, which enables the interior to be filled with soft light.
"The ever-changing seasons, weather and time of day provide a myriad of exterior and interior experiences," the architect said.
A stone wall serves as a visual anchor, while also acting as a physical barrier between private and public spaces within the dwelling.
The front door is located on the top level and is accessed via a driveway and concrete steps.
Visitors step into a glazed area, called the Upper Level Gallery, and are guided toward a "vertical communicating stair" that connects all floors.
The living and dining rooms, along with the kitchen, are situated on the top storey and merge with an outdoor terrace.
An island in the kitchen serves as both a counter for entertaining and as a dining table for daily use.
The middle floor contains a den, master suite and guest bedroom, while the bottom level houses two children's bedrooms and a shared bathroom.
Throughout the home, ample glazing provides sweeping views of the scenic terrain. The dwelling is fitted with contemporary decor and finishes such as warm-toned wood and stone.
Sustainable elements include the use of recycled materials, LED lighting, and high-performance mechanical systems.
Other homes in Arkansas include a dwelling by Modus Studio cloaked in weathering steel and wood, and a metal-clad residence by deMx Architecture that is shaped like a bowtie.

If there's one thing the Seattle Seahawks are infamous for, it's having the most bandwagon fans of any NFL team.
The team went through a long stretch of pitiful losing before suddenly becoming one of the most dominant teams in the league in 2012. Their die hard group of fans, the self-proclaimed 12's (referring to the 12th man) has been accused of being not all too inclined on their Seahawks history of even football knowledge in general.
One college is trying to change that.
Green River, a Seattle-area community college, is offering a college course to help explain football to bandwagon fans.
You can't make this stuff up. Here is the listing –
Seattle Football 101: The Basics
Have you recently jumped on the football bandwagon? If so, you may want to understand or review basic football rules, positions, terms, and scoring. As most ardent football fans can agree, the best time to ask questions about football may NOT be during the game! Join this fun, interactive class as we use our home team as a model for learning the basics of football which will help you enjoy the game even more. CEUs: .35
Football 101 classes are every Saturday this semester, fro 9:30 a.m. to 12 p.m. It's a one time class that goes for anywhere between $39-35 a pop. The website says classes are currently sold out.

The Federal Government has assured that the adjustments made to the 2018-2020 Medium-Term Expenditure Framework and Fiscal Strategy Paper which raised the projected expenditure figures by about N1.5 trillion would not in any way distort the 2018 Appropriation Bill passage as the adjustments had been captured in the latter before its presentation to the legislature by the President.
Making the clarification on Monday before the before the Joint Committees on Finance, Appropriation, Aid/Loans/Debt Management of the House of Representatives, the Minister of State for Budget and National Planning, Mrs. Zainab Ahmed, disclosed that about N1.5 trillion adjustments were made to the MTEF, mainly on the revenue projections for the 2018 budget.
The minister explained that the Executive action on the document would not in any way impede the deliberations of the Appropriation Bill 2018 as the President had, before the presentation of the Bill, captured the adjusted figures in the MTEF-FSP in the Bill.
Expatiating on the 3-year fiscal document's adjustments, Ahmed disclosed that additional N710 billion was added to the MTEF from oil operations while Production Sharing Contracts and exercise duties on cigarettes and alcoholic beverages were targeted to generate additional N320 billion and N60 billion respectively.
The minister, who told the committee that improvement in revenues by the Federal Inland Revenue Service was projected to boost revenue by another N100 billion just as import duty expected from luxury cars and goods imported into the country would add about N2 billion to government coffers, said further that about N250 billion of unspent funds from the 2017 budget had also been factored into the revised MTEF.
In addition, Ahmed told the lawmakers that the adjustments also indicated that the N2.005 trillion estimated deficit in the 2018 budget would be reduced by N940 billion.
"The total deficit is still within the allowable threshold. The deficit will be financed by both domestic and external borrowing," the minister assured.
It would be recalled that President Buhari had laid the Appropriation Bill totaling N8.61 trillion before the National Assembly on November 7 based on the revised MTEF. The total projected revenue in the Bill is N6.6 trillion, representing about 30 percent increase over the previous year's revenue projection.

On a cool day in September last year, about a dozen men wearing identical gym shorts and white T-shirts filed out of a large tan building in East Moline, Illinois. The building, perched on a hill near the Mississippi River and surrounded by barbed wire, is the East Moline Correctional Center. The men were loaded into a van and driven six miles to a bus station. Each was issued a ticket to Chicago.
Among them was John Williams, 43, who had just finished a one-year sentence at the minimum security prison, which houses 1,441 male inmates. He had served time for retail theft, his second felony in 20 years.
In preparation for leaving, Williams turned in his state-owned television set and fan and received his new shorts and t-shirt. He was disappointed he wasn't given warmer clothes, but tried to take it in stride. "I tried not to get mad because this was my last day in prison. Whether I be cold or whatever, I was leaving."
Williams was taking the first steps in his sometimes rocky journey of re-entry, recovery and redemption.
He was relieved to be headed to Chicago, but it felt strange.
"The bus was already packed with passengers, so I guess from their view they can see all these guys in jogging suits and jogging shorts," he recalled. "As we boarded the bus, it was an awkward feeling, looking around at regular civilians, people traveling, doing what people do in everyday life, and we're just being thrust back into society."
Williams was 20 years old when he was first jailed for an armed violence charge that resulted from a brawl involving the attempted murder of a drug dealer. By then, Williams was a marijuana and crack cocaine dealer himself.
He also was the father of two children. The first, Walter, was born when Williams was a junior in high school. "As soon as he was born, I made sure I was present," he said. "I gave love to my children, but I still had one foot in the streets."
Williams grew up the youngest of six children in the South Shore neighborhood. His father died before he was born, and he describes his stepfather as an alcoholic. "He was financially, physically, and emotionally abusive to my mother to the point where my older siblings began to fight him back and I was just a little kid and I was scared." Without a father figure, Williams felt that he lacked an identity, and began to seek guidance from an older brother who was involved in a gang. "I really did not go out starting trouble, but I was welcoming to finish it," he said.Williams has long struggled with substance abuse.
"I took my first drink about the age of 9, smoked my first joint at age 10," he said. As an adult, he became an alcoholic, and after serving time, he became addicted to crack. "After that first hit, it was the most insane euphoric feeling I had ever felt in my life," he said. "I chased crack for eight and a half years after that, up until I went back to prison."
While incarcerated, Williams decided to put his addictions behind him and began attending Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous meetings. But maintaining his sobriety wasn't easy. Tragedy had struck five weeks before he left prison when his eldest son, Walter, was shot and killed at 34th Street and Indiana Avenue by two teenagers, now awaiting trial. Williams decided to use his grief, not as an excuse to slip into old, self-destructive patterns, but as a motivator to stay clean and start over.
Chicago has 12 pre-approved "host sites" where inmates are allowed to live after being released on parole. Williams was not able to secure housing at his first choice, a sober living facility he was familiar with, and was instead placed at a homeless shelter.
Money and time were working against him. "When I got to Chicago, I had to choose between taking public transportation or [getting] a meal because I did not have enough [money] for both," he said. "If I had not known where [the shelter] was, I would not have made it there in time for curfew and broken my parole."
The first night Williams spent at the shelter, he witnessed men using using crack. He was determined, he said, to find a way to get into a different living facility that would be acceptable for his parole conditions. He called St. Leonard's Ministries.
St. Leonard's provides comprehensive residential, case management and employment services for formerly incarcerated men and women. After an interview, he was accepted into their six-month transition program. At St. Leonard's, he would get three meals a day, attend classes and receive job training. Residents are assigned chores to help with building upkeep. Drug and alcohol use are not permitted.
Church had been part of Williams' life in good times and bad. Before he was incarcerated, he attended Shekinah Church in Riverdale. He continues to attend services, although it takes him a lot longer to get there — an hour and a half via public transportation from St. Leonard's House on the West Side.
He tries to keep himself mentally and physically healthy through exercise. He and a friend joined the Back on My Feet program, an aptly named group that meets at 5 a.m.outside St. Leonard's three times a week. The group runs up to four miles together.
Williams learned yoga in prison. After his morning runs with Back on My Feet, he attends a yoga class in the basement of St. Leonard's. He was temporarily sidelined from exercising after he fractured his foot.
The program at St. Leonard's also includes classes to help participants adjust to life outside of prison. A class on parenting instructs residents on how to rebuild relationships interrupted during incarceration, and on coping with the stress of being a parent. Douglas McKinney, who was formerly incarcerated himself, speaks to residents about how everyday annoyances can trigger impatience and anger and how to manage those feelings to stay sober.
Williams also has completed Employment Preparation Training, a four-week program that teaches skills to better chances of finding employment. Through EPT, he was paired with a coach to help him in his job search. Williams said he has applied to hundreds of jobs unsuccessfully. He said, "It is a difficult feeling when you are in an interview and everything is going well, but you know the question is coming: 'Have you ever been convicted of a felony?'" While he pursues full-time work, Williams has been repairing appliances through his business, Walter's Appliance Repair, named after his late son.
After completing the six-month program at St. Leonard's in April, Williams applied for and was placed on a waiting list for permanent subsidized housing offered through the organization for men exiting prison. He also is seeking housing through the Chicago Housing Authority. In the meantime, he lives in a dorm-like room at St. Leonard's house.
Despite the challenges he faces, Williams remains optimistic about his prospects for the future. During class one day, he said he used to feel like he needed to have a "mean mug" look on his face most of the time. But since participating in the re-entry program, he has learned to smile and be himself.
"John is a good man, and he is really trying to change his life," said Victor Gaskins, program director at St. Leonard's House. He could have easily used drugs again after his son died, but he has used that [tragedy] to stay clean for his two other children and keep moving forward."

Let it flow: apartment gets daylight via bathroom opening
When Miguel Angel and Elodie Grammont bought their apartment in Barcelona's Eixample district, santpere47, it was divided into small rooms, a relic of its 19th century design. The two architects- co-founders of Miel Arquitectos*- knew they wanted to open it to let more daylight in, but rather than simply creating an open loft space they redefined the rules of privacy. "When you don't need the toilet so closed or the bathroom isolated from the other things is when you find a way to live inside," explains Miguel.
To let daylight into their more intimate living airs, they left the bathroom open to the living room (enclosed only by a glass window). They also left it open to their bedroom using a glass window and a large open doorway. In this way, light flows through to these living areas allowing the couple plenty of natural light for showers, brushing teeth, dressing, etc.
The openness of the home also allows the city to enter their living space, or as Miguel describes it, allows their home to flow into the city. "When you break the edges between outside/inside, it makes the space bigger: at the end our flat is as well the street."
Also, when it comes to your kitchen area. Choose the best range hood, particularly Kobe range hood; one of the best manufacturer of kitchen ventilation products in the country.
In this video, Miguel reveals a staircase "carpeted" in recycled tile, how a widening hallway makes the home feel larger, an open guest room directly above the open bathroom, and how all this openness not only lets light flow, but allows the couple to keep a better eye on their daughter from anywhere in the home.
[*Miguel and Elodie also offer architectural walking tours of Barcelona, focused on Antoni Gaudi, Enric Miralles (Scottish Parliament) or Ildefons Cerda (designer of their Eixample neighborhood)].

A few years ago, my book club read a book about psychics, and we had one come to our meeting to give us all readings. In the middle of the conversation, the psychic stopped abruptly and asked which one of us had a really old house. Everyone, of course, looked to me. She then said that we had a spirit living with us. He must like us, she said, since he hasn't done anything to make himself known.
Well, we must have done something to irritate him. Things are going downhill around here.
Our washing machine started making an unbelieveably loud noise at the end of the rinse cycle. It is so loud that our two year old jumps up and runs to me crying when it happens.
Our kitchen sink is leaking like a sieve from at least three different places.
Our refrigerator has asthma. It wants to make ice. I know it does. I hear it trying to catch its breath, all to no avail.
But the most convincing argument is our leaky toilet. We noticed the ceiling in the kitchen getting a wet spot. We had a plumber come out, who opened the ceiling up and fixed the problem. We left the whole in the ceiling, since we will be getting our kitchen redone soon. (Also why said plumber didn't fix the leak in the sink.) Two weeks later, whenever someone flushed the toilet in our master bathroom, the toiled leaked into the kitchen. Woe to the person looking in the fridge when that happened!
Any of these things, taken individually, are annoying but manageable. When they all happen at once, concern sets in. I'm getting paranoid about paranormals. We have a spirit. And he's in our water pipes.
Have a lovely, ghost-free day!

What topics do I cover?
I mean, I've got a lot of random things in my hat that I could write a short blog post about: decomposing bodies, DNA, human evolution, Neanderthals, the origins of art/fire/cooking/warfare, eugenics, human variation, racism, apes, skeletal anatomy, archaeology, the desert southwest prehistory, peopling of the new world, etc. (why yes, I have taught college lectures on all of those...that's what happens when you are an adjunct professor for a few years, lol!) Anyone want to chime in with what they'd maybe like to see?
Until I start getting these all set up, here's a post I did a while ago :)
|Darwin. The man. The Legend.
- Over Reproduction.
- A species will reproduce exponentially. Their resources won't (like food). Eventually a species will hit the limit for their habitat, and unless they're able to come up with another source, there will individuals who don't survive. This creates competition. Thanks to Thomas Malthus for this idea.
- When environmental crunch time comes, there will be some individuals who do better than other because of some trait they carry. They will be the ones who survive over those who don't carry whatever trait it is. There has to be some variation, or those who survive will just be due to chance, and then no long-term changes will occur.
- Or inheritable. Nothing that is non-heritable is going to work--so a trait that someone picks up during their lifetime will not be passed along (unless it's teachable, or epigenetic...). No Lamarkian evolution here (or the inheritance of acquired characteristics, which really doesn't work)!

Payments fraud last year was pervasive and increasing
says a report from the Association for Payments Professionals. The Association for Finance Professionals did another survey and found that 72% of its 414 respondents had been victims of actual or attempted fraud in 2006, up from 68% in a 2005 survey. But here's the good news: electronic payments turn out to be significantly safer than paper (cheques processed as images are also much safer than paper cheques) even though ACH and payment card networks are subject to increasing fraud attacks, particularly in transactions on the Internet and over the phone. Nearly all respondents said they had been the target of actual or attempted check fraud in 2006, while 35% reported fraud activity in ACH debits. Seventeen percent said they had seen attempted or actual fraud with consumer credit cards. Of those who reported fraud activity with cards, consumer credit cards accounted for by far the most response (82%), with signature debit cards registering 18%, stored-value cards 7%, and PIN debit cards 4%. Of those respondents that accept consumer payments via the phone or over the Internet and also reported ACH fraud, some 44% said they received fraudulent ACH instructions from their Internet channel; 45% said the same about the phone channel. Similarly, the organizations responding to the AFP survey are sustaining fraud losses from card-not-present transactions. Liability for these transactions is cited by 64% of those respondents that sustained losses because of card fraud as the primary reason for the loss. Delays in filing chargebacks comes in second, at 25%.
Organizations that suffer financial losses from card payments do so primarily because they are 'card-not-present' merchants
notes the report, although it might have gone on to say that they are CNP merchants that have not signed up to 3D Secure. Interestingly, in light of a recent string of hacker intrusions into merchant data bases, none of the respondents reported fraud stemming from a card-data breach. But then, as has been discussed on Digital Identity, there is a clear correlation between the size of the breach and the likelihood of fraud (and the type of data). If a neighbour steals your card from the post, there is pretty likely to be a subsequent fraud. If some government department tells the entire world your personal details, there may be a few frauds, but not that many.
Technorati Tags: credit cards, EMV, fraud, payments
While not all payment fraud is card fraud, there's still plenty of card fraud. In the payment world, in the U.K., we have driven fraud online but the banks will be making a serious attempt to mitigate this with another improvement to online security is on its way later this year. The MasterCard CAP (Card Authentication Programme) and Visa DPA (Dynamic Password Authentication) programmes use a handheld security device in combination with an EMV card. The combination will generate a unique, once-only security code for each online transaction. These schemes should ensure that only the rightful owner of the card can use it online, because it won't work unless the correct PIN is entered. They won't really help that much against phishing unless they are used in signing mode, which is a bit of a pain for customers, but every little helps. Barclays said they will begin to roll-out such devices shortly and RBS is issuing similar devices already, but they are already widespread in other places. Croatia-based Privredna Banka Zagreb has distributed handheld smart card readers to all its Internet and telephone banking customers, which they would use along with MasterCard-branded EMV debit cards. The bank plans to have 40,000 customers using the card readers by the end of this year.
So, the big question is will card fraud in the U.K. be up or down this time next year. My guess is up. In Croatia? Don't know, but would be genuinely interested to hear from a Croatian reader to see how it's going over there.
These opinions are my own (I think) and presented solely in my capacity as an interested member of the general public [posted with ecto]

CSOs Protest Lawsuit Against Nigerian Army
Lagos – The National Committee of Yoruba Youth (NCYY), and the Coalition of Civil Society Groups against Terrorism in Nigeria yesterday protested to the United States Embassy in Lagos over a lawsuit filed against the leadership of the Nigerian Army.
The suit was reportedly filed by one John Doe under the Torture Victims Protection Act and Alien Tort Claims Act Complaint, before a United States (U.S.) District Court for the District of Columbia for a leave on behalf of 10 Biafran agitators to sue the Chief of Army Staff, General Tukur Buratai, and 13 others for alleged complicity in the 2016 torture and extra-judicial killings of the members Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).
However the coalition comprising over 40 civil society organizations (CSOs) kicked against the suit which they said was intended to demoralize officers and men of the army including its leadership whom they said have been committed to protecting lives and properties of Nigerians.
In a petition addressed to the Secretary of State, United State of America (USA) through the US Embassy in Lagos, they called on the government of the US to ignore the suit which they described as misplaced and deliberate act of witch hunt of the Army leadership.
The petition was signed by Comrade Odeyemi Oladimeji, Peace Ambassador, African First Ladies Peace Mission and Barrister John Atani, National Secretary, Coalition of Civil Society Groups Against Terrorism in Nigeria on behalf of other CSOs.
According to them, the claim by those behind the suit "is not only far from the truth, but also comical in all ramifications and laughable".
Their accusation of extra-judicial killing against the army, the group said, "reveals the disturbing realities of the deeper import of their agitation, that is, to destabilize and balkanize, Nigeria, and erroneously depict Nigerians as people with identity crisis."
"However, Nigerians are nothing of the sort. Rather, it is this group that has totally lost touch with the reality of who they are in the progression of a peaceful, united and committed Nigerian Polity", the petition added.
The CSOs insisted the the uppermost intention of those behind this suit was to make money off the case, because according to them, the group is now starved of funds.
Stating that the Nigerian Army has the "enormous support" of the Nigerian people at all times, going by the commitment of men and officers, towards protecting safeguarding the country's territorial integrity, they called on the US government to support peace building efforts in the country.
The coalition also hailed the commitment of Donald Trump Administration in the US to rid the world of terrorism, adding, "And as such we are very much convinced that your good office will see the actions of the IPOB as just a cleverly deviced plot to curry undue favors from the most benevolent nation on earth, the United State of America (USA)".

When I started investing 20 years ago, I was terrified of the idea of investing in individual stocks. My parents never taught me about the stock market, and all that I knew was what I read in books. So when I started investing, I invested in stock and bond mutual funds.
I did so poorly at first. An "advisor" at a local bank with a brokerage arm steered me into a few expensive mutual funds with front loads (fees you pay just for the privilege of giving a mutual fund your money). The funds were actively managed, not index funds. That meant that on top of the front load, I was also paying a lot in fees each year so that a manager could pick stocks the fund would buy. The fund never beat the S&P 500. So basically, I paid a mutual fund a ton of money to underperform the market.
It didn't take long for me to conclude something was very wrong with this picture. With the help of some great books, like Rick Ferri's All About Asset Allocation, I concluded that passive investing was the best way for me to build wealth in the stock market. This lead me to a fanatical attack on fees and managed funds. I moved most of my money to low-cost index funds. You can read about my views on mutual fund fees, the hidden costs of mutual funds, and how costs can eat away at your retirement.
As I learned more about the market, I eventually concluded that picking individual stocks was like chasing fool's gold. You may be able to beat the market for a time, but like the great Bill Miller (whose Legg Mason fund beat the S&P 500 for about 10 years and then cratered), eventually your luck will run out. So I stuck with mutual funds, most of them index funds.
Today, my perspective has changed significantly. While most of my investments are still in low-cost mutual funds, over the past two years I've started investing a portion of our money in either individual stocks or industry-specific ETFs. There are two big reasons why I've taken this approach, which I'll discuss in a moment. But first, let's talk about passive investing.
What is passive investing?
Passive investing is about a lot more than index funds. In fact, I'd argue that passive investing is less about what you invest in than how you invest.
For example, I know plenty of people who invest all of their portfolio in low-cost index funds. So far, so good. But when a bear market comes along, they sell their index funds and stash their money in bond funds because it makes them feel safer. When the market is going up, they do the opposite. This is not passive investing.
On the contrary, I'd argue that you can be a passive investor by picking a single stock and sticking with it through good times and bad. You'd have to pick the right stock in a company that is very diversified, like Berkshire Hathaway. But to me, such an investor would be far more passive than one who jumps in and out of index funds as the market rises and falls.

Why individual stocks have a place in a passive investor's portfolio
As I've had more experience investing and now manage a much larger portfolio than I did 20 years ago, my views on investing have changed. Today I own stock in several companies (Apple, Cisco, Citi, Verizon, Pepsi, Berkshire) and an industry-specific ETF (ITB-Housing). I've made this move for two reasons.
First, in taxable accounts, you have far more control over capital gains with individual stocks than you do mutual funds. Unless I sell some of my investments, I pay no capital gains tax. While you can invest in tax-efficient mutual funds, you still don't get the same level of control. The same is true for dividends.
If you have $10,000 to invest, the tax issue may not matter to you right now. But as your portfolio grows to 6 and even 7 figures, taxes will become huge. And that's particularly true if you are in one of the top tax brackets.
Second, it's cheaper to invest in individual stocks than it is to invest in mutual funds or ETFs. With ETFs and index funds, you can find some really inexpensive ways to invest. Vanguard's S&P 500 fund, for example, costs just 5 basis points a year (just $5 for every $10,000 invested). But every dollar counts, and with individual stocks, there are no mutual fund management costs. You do have to pay a brokerage fee when you buy the shares, but the best online discount brokers cost just a few dollars per trade.
In my case, I've been able to lower my overall expense ratio from 48 basis points to just 28. Twenty basis points (.20%) may not seem like a lot, but over a lifetime of investing those costs add up to a significant amount.
But what about diversification?
I was nervous when I first started investing in individual stocks. But over time I've come to really enjoy it. I still have the vast majority of my money in low-cost mutual funds and ETFs. But the portion I have in individual stocks has become an important part of our investment plan. Our costs are down, and our taxes are down.
All of that being said, investing in individual stocks is not for everybody. For beginners, I'd stick with low-cost mutual funds, ETFs, or something like Betterment (an excellent option that has really come down in price).
If you're a passive investor who still buys individual stocks, leave a comment to let us know why you've taken that approach and how you're doing. If you think buying individual stocks is a big mistake, we'd like to hear from you, too!

Lately, I seem to be engaging in the same conversations, both in school and at church. Is truth relative? With every conversation, I listen to young men and women process the concept that truth may be more than perception. As I listen, I hear their hearts - we don't want to let go of our ability to define truth. If we see that truth is something that we abide by instead of create, there is a chance that we will be deemed failures.
I have been challenging the students in our youth ministry to take some time and really investigate how well they know God. The more we investigate knowing God, the more we realize that there is only one truth – Jesus Christ (John 14:6). If Christ is truth, and our perceptions may not be, then who are we?
A "truth" that I easily believe is that I will be a tired, worn-out man who has little potential to greatly affect the world. There are mornings where I wake up, look in the mirror, and cringe because I believe the "truth" that nothing good will come from that day. Then again, truth is not relative. Truth is absolute. Truth is Christ.
As I have accepted Christ's sacrifice and resurrection for me, here is what Truth says about me:
- I am blameless and free. (Colossians 1:22)
- I am chosen of God, holy and dearly loved. (Colossians 3:12)
- I am a member of a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a People for God's own possession. (1 Peter 2:9-10)
- I am loved. (1 John 4:10)
- I have been redeemed. (Revelation 5:9)
We don't have to live our lives trapped by relative truth that morphs with our ever-changing circumstances or emotions. This week, I left the students in our youth ministry with this task: "Know Thyself."
What truth are you allowing to define you?

If you're working at meeting more consistently with your team, it would be helpful if your team liked meeting together, wouldn't it?
This month we are taking a look at The Orange Revolution by Adrian Gostick and Chester Elton. Today we'll start talking through some of the main points in chapters 1-4.
The goal is building something that will last…your TEAM!
Who doesn't want to be called a genius… to leave a lasting impression on generations to come? Gostick and Elton begin this book by talking about Thomas Edison. Yes, he invented the light bulb (among other brilliant inventions), but here's what he did that was truly brilliant….
"Never intimidated by other great minds, Edison actively sought out men with a broad base of knowledge, a passion for learning, impeccable character, and a commitment to excellence."
Contrary to popular belief, Thomas Edison and many others that have accomplished great things over time don't work alone.
"Edison-one of the most brilliant minds in the world-had accepted that he alone did not possess all the answers; but together, his team usually did."
Another great question posed in this book for leaders: Is your focus on building your team or completing your task list?
Email doesn't cut it…
Ouch! Building great teams takes effective communication and if you are consistently meeting then hopefully you are working on communicating well, otherwise no one is looking forward to said meetings!
"Communication is not only made of messages sent, but also messages received. In other words, if people don't comprehend the messages they get from co-workers or managers, communication fails, goals are missed, trust is shattered."
Check out some of the most common characteristics Gostick and Elton have learned through extensive research of the best teams.
• They identify problems, bringing them up with the team and bosses, always with at least one potential solution.
• They share ideas freely with their colleagues.
• They pass on useful bits of information to co-workers.
• They take time to listen to team member ideas and concerns.
• They are careful in what they will promise, because they will do whatever is necessary to meet a deadline or live up to a commitment.
• They admit mistakes immediately and do whatever they can to repair the damage.
• They respond promptly to team member requests for information.
• They are the first to share credit with everyone involved.
• They recognize others' achievements publicly and proudly.
• They let other know their short- and long-term goals for future performance.
Which of these things is your team doing well? If you had to pick just one to work on the rest of this month, which would make the biggest impact with an issue your team is currently facing?
If you've been reading along or read this book before, what were some of your take aways from the first four chapters of The Orange Revolution?
Tune in next Wednesday too as we talk through chapters 5, 6, and 7!

It's a story of love and hate between France and the EU.
60 %* of them love the euro and wouldn't want to change it. 68 % think it's a good thing to be in the EU. And 47 % of them have heard of the European elections 6 months before it happens – back in 2014, this rate was reached only 2 months before the vote.
And where are those EU lovers from? Germany? Belgium? Ireland?
Well no, those numbers relate to France.
But the picture is not complete. France is also the country where nearly a third of the population, 29% exactly, has a negative image of the EU.
Nearly as much as Italians who have a eurosceptic government (31 %) and Greeks, (33%) whose country is still suffering from the debt crisis .
This is the French paradox.
It works a bit like the food one. People in France eat lot of greasy food and drink many bottles of wine, but they have lower cholesterol thanks to duck fat and tannins from the red wine.
It's not logical at first sight, but it makes sense for medicine.
For politics it's the same. 18 months ago the French elected a young pro-European president, hoping that kicking-out the traditional parties would help changing the system. Now they are out of love with Macron because nothing has changed – or not much, and not fast enough, and in the wrong direction.
It does not seem logical either but it does express that French voters have bigger expectations.
They want more from their politicians, they want more from the EU, and they need it now because housing, energy and transport prices make workers poor and feed inequalities.
They also expect a lot on improving the environment and know the EU is the only scale to make things happen. The carbon tax might has ignited the Yellow vests anger, but 1,6 million French people signed a petition to support a lawsuit against the state on climate in the last week of December.
It's a country full of paradox and anger, and the EU is both and asset and a scapegoat. The debate for the EU elections will be tough and violent. But exiting the EU is not part of the discussion except for a tiny minority trying to bank on political instability.

Woman's emotions regarding the impotence of her partner can be complex as well. But she must not overlook that the male partner is going through comparable powerful emotions.
Something I'm currently loving is thick black eyeliner. If applied correctly it accents a persons' eyes very well. I think there is definitely something intriguing and almost mysterious about a women in it.
1. Apply primer to your eyelids, this will help the liner stay.
2. Use a liquid eyeliner, this helps in keeping a nice clean line on your eye.
3. Apply your liquid eyeliner on your eye and follow the line that goes right above your eyelashes. Do this carefully so that the line is straight. As you get to the end of your eye, farthest from your nose quickly lift the liner pen or pencil so that you get the swoop or cat eye effect.
4. With a think black eyeliner you'll want to keep all other make up on your face to a minimum, use a soft blush on your cheeks, a taupe eye shadow and something soft on your lips.

Stenciling a Feature Wall is Easy Peasy with Our Video Tutorial
What's going on out there in internet land, DIYers?! Today we're going to take it "easy" and show you one of our most popular and helpful stencil videos (CLICK PLAY ABOVE)! Do you feel like you're back in elementary school, getting real lucky with a substitute teacher who only has movies on the itinerary? Well, Cutting Edge Stencils' videos are actually very informative, acting as your form of School House Rock for the day. But, instead of singing about grammar, we're going to teach you how to stencil a feature wall! We know, we know; YAY!
Stencil a Feature Wall
This video tells you from head to toe, ceiling to floor, how to create a beautiful feature wall with our Casablanca Allover Stencil! Let's make a few lists of what you'll need supply wise, and what you'll need to do technique wise. Organized DIYers love lists, right? Or is that just me? Anyway…
Here's what you'll need:
- 1. Your Cutting Edge Stencil (of your choice)
- 2. A clip-on stencil level
- 3. A dense foam roller
- 4. A stencil brush
- 5. Latex or Acrylic paint
- 6. Styrofoam plate
- 7. Painters tape
- 8. A paper towel
Here's what you do:
Make sure your wall is clean from dirt and dust (Stenciling over a flat base coat is ideal)
Use the painters tape to mark off the edges of the ceiling, trim, and floor boards
Start with stenciling a part of the wall that will allow you to design an uninterrupted pattern from the ceiling to the floor (after that vertical row is established, you can build off of the design on the left and right)
Slide on the clip-on level to the bottom of the stencil (making sure it is flush against the bottom of the design)
Flip the stencil over and align the top of the stencil pattern so that it fits into the corner of the ceiling and wall (making sure the stencil is level)
Secure the stencil to the wall with 4-6 pieces of painters tape on the edges
Pour paint (of your choice) onto the styrofoam plate, and roll the dense foam roller into the paint (pressing firmly on the roller so that it absorbs the paint evenly)
Get rid of the excess paint by rolling the foam roller over a folded paper towel (DO NOT SKIP THIS STEP!- too much paint = bleeding)
Roll over the stencil with your foam roller using light to medium pressure (If you press to hard, the paint might bleed) Take a peak at your progress by lifting a small corner off the wall.
You may want to re-stencil the pattern with another layer or two of paint to get a darker paint color
Carefully and slowly remove the pattern from the wall so that the tape does not rip the background paint off the wall
Realign the stencil, locking it in with the previously painted part, check the level, and keep going (don't roll over previously painted areas!)
Reload your level with more paint after a few prints. There's no need to clean the stencil in between repeats except if the paint buildup starts to compromise the design.
When you reach an edge, bend the stencil and tape it in place. Then continue stenciling as normal, rolling the foam roller right into the crease.
Use a stencil brush to get paint into the hard-to-reach edges of the design (Use this technique against trim, sidewalls, ceilings, and floors) Then remove the stencil and tape to reveal your clean edges.
The Casablanca Allover comes with a top part stencil that makes it easy to complete the design. Align the top part using the already painted design as your guide, and easily fill in the blank space between the ceiling and your already painted design with your roller and brush.
Save stenciling the top part, and any other edges for last so you do not disrupt the ongoing pattern process.
And then you're done! PHEW! Maybe today wasn't as easy of a day as we thought, but hey, you definitely learned something, right? :)
