The directors of a company tend to have a unique inside view into the business, so when directors make major buys, investors are wise to take notice. Presumably the only reason a director of a company would choose to take their hard-earned cash and use it to buy stock in the open market, is that they expect to make money — maybe they find the stock very undervalued, or maybe they see exciting progress within the company, or maybe both. So in this series we look at the largest insider buys by company directors over the trailing six month period, one of which was a total of $100.4K by Marcello Bottoli, Director at International Flavors & Fragrances Inc. (IFF).

Looking at the chart above, IFF's low point in its 52 week range is $70.73 per share, with $92.49 as the 52 week high point — that compares with a last trade of $92.24. The current annualized dividend paid by International Flavors & Fragrances Inc. is $1.56/share, currently paid in quarterly installments, and its most recent dividend ex-date was on 12/24/2013. Below is a long-term dividend history chart for IFF, which can be of good help in judging whether the most recent dividend with approx. 1.7% annualized yield is likely to continue. According to the ETF Finder at ETF Channel, IFF makes up 1.38% of the Dynamic Basic Materials Sector Portfolio ETF ( PYZ) which is trading lower by about 0.1% on the day Tuesday.

Question about HP Compaq nc6320 Notebook
I was using my Hp compaq nc6320 notebook, i was using it for 4 hours straight. When suddenly it started running on batteries, and now it doesnt even charge. What happened? How do i solve it? thank you
Posted by mavic01 on
I have had a similar problem and solved by another solution. I think you should try it before grabbing a soldering iron.
In my case my charger was not working from one day to another. So I bought a universal charger of Kingston. Worked without any problem for a long time ~6 months. Then same problem again. Checked voltage of the charger and that was okay. Strange thing with a charger of a friend, my laptop charged again! So I thought I needed to buy another one.
Still it was strange that two chargers broke in such short time and at the same time still have voltage around 19V and charging other laptops! So I checked a forum and there I found the follwoing solution (uninstall the AC adapter and reinstall it again in the device manager):
- go to control panel
- system
- device manager
- batteries
- uninstall the programm for the AC adapter
- go back to control panel
- check for new hardware and install the AC adapter software again
Problem solved! Even my old adapter works again!

Switzerland not far from being deemed a 'currency manipulator' by the US
Switzerland fulfils two of the three criteria required to be considered a currency manipulator by the US, but it is unlikely to affect the SNB's monetary policy stance.
In the next few days, the U.S Department of Treasury will publish its semi-annual report on International Economic and Exchange Rate Policies. Switzerland is one of six countries on the department's monitoring list, as it meets two of the three conditions established by the US Treasury to be deemed a 'currency manipulator'. The country has a current account larger than 3.0% of GDP and interventions in the foreign exchange market exceed 2% of GDP over a 12-month period.
But Switzerland does not meet the third condition, running a USD13.7 billion trade surplus with the US (according to the latest data), compared with a US Treasury threshold of USD20 billion, although the Swiss trade surplus with the US has been growing significantly since 2014 (see Chart). The growth in the surplus might appear surprising when one thinks that during the same period the Swiss franc has appreciated against the dollar. One explanation can be found in what is traded. In particular, Switzerland's growing chemical and pharmaceutical exports are proving relatively insensitive to currency fluctuations.
Even if the country is close to fulfilling all three criteria for being considered a currency manipulator, it is unlikely to affect the Swiss National Bank's (SNB) monetary policy stance. Moreover, the US Treasury adopted a rather conciliatory view in its latest report, acknowledging the limits of Switzerland's monetary policy options given the relatively small stock of domestic assets. In the near future, we expect the SNB to keep unchanged its two-pillar strategy.

My post on the Community Story Board
A path of black tiles leads the way.
She follows like a hunter drawn to its prey.
Diaphanous patterns dance below,
Hypnotizing, mesmerizing, all aglow.
Her mind is burdened, a heavy yoke,
But it dissipates with every stroke.
Five down, breathe to the left
Five more, her senses bereft.
Muffled sounds fade away,
Replaced by what, she cannot say.
A single voice, to her unknown,
Far too eloquent to be her own.
Gliding, floating weightless, thoughts transcend,
As champagne bubbles tickle her skin.
Stroke after stroke would seem monotonous,
But it quickly gives rise to something unconscious.
A sentient being bringing serenity,
Somewhat familiar, a consanguinity?
Loquacious, idiomatic, even importunate,
A glimpse into this mind is oh so fortunate.
What a clever turn of phrase, I cannot wait,
Hurry, hurry, thoughts will obfuscate.
Get out! Get out! Get out now!
Get out! Get out! Write this down!
But eloquence is…

Encounters With Remarkable Biscuits
Literature can help us understand life and all that, but more important is what it can tell us about the biscuit. We start with Oscar Wilde, for he has much to say, and is the gateway to a wondrous world.
"I can resist everything except temptation."
Without doubt, Mr Wilde was wiping his chops of the last crumbs of the last biscuit of the pack when he so quipped. Some might argue that there are other explanations. They would be wrong. While I (and I am rather afraid to say it here) sometimes forget a packet of opened biscuits until, weeks later, I chance upon their flaccid forms in the back of a cupboard, it is very clear to me that this is /not /normal or acceptable behaviour. Nature abhors a vacuum, and human beings abhor an opened, but unfinished, biscuit packet. Maybe it's because biscuits are delicious: that's when…

Ok – say it with me now …. "I will not give a pet as a holiday gift"… Repeat until it sinks in that giving a pet as a holiday gift is NOT a good idea!!! Need help getting this point into your head? Call me!!! Want an option that won't make you nuts? Read on!
"A pet is a lifetime commitment – not a holiday gift" – so reads a bumper sticker given to me by a good friend. And it's a point I've been trying to drive home every year… year after year after year…Hopefully with some success!
Now why, you ask, is it not a good idea? Well, think about it – tinsel, toys, gift wrap, wires, food, relatives, drinks, plants…. All the things a new pet would LOVE to get into.
And veterinary bills you just DON'T want to go near!!!
I can't pick out a pet that would make you happy any more than you can pick one out for me. It is a very personal thing to pick out a companion that will be with you for up to the next 20 years (yep – 20 years is a possible!)…
Even though Grama Mary may like (or even LOVE) your cat / dog, it doesn't mean she wants one of her own! She may be very happy loving your pet while she's visiting with you. Remember that pets can be a burden (boarding, vaccinations, walking, etc) that Grama might just rather leave to someone else.
Kids and puppies or kittens do NOT make a great combination! Many adoption agencies have a rule of not adopting out where there are kids under a certain age. And it's with great reason! They don't go together well! Kids like to pull, poke, squish, throw, hug, squeeze and lock pets in drawers. Puppies and kittens, on the other hand, like to scratch, nip, bite, chew on and run away from children.
So want an alternative to bringing home a new pet for the holiday? Go for a Pet Promise Certificate! Click on the link below and wrap THAT up for a gift!
I'm not saying that bringing a new pet home is a bad idea; I'm simply saying that bringing it home for the holidays is a TERRIBLE idea! Picking out a new friend is something that should be done when things are calm and relaxed – not as a frenzied attempt to complete a holiday shopping list.
So if you really, REALLY want to get that special someone a new buddy, give them a certificate that says you'll do it together. Give them that, a new leash or food bowl (ok, a kitty litter box is a bit tacky so don't go there!), a collar or a cat toy. Then, when the holidays are over and things are back to normal (and the decorations are back in their boxes), spend time together finding just the right pet. It's an experience that you and your gift recipient will both treasure and remember for years to come.

Do you have headphones in? How many pages on your computer do you have open right now? Do you feel yourself drawn to put on music, a T.V. show or a movie whenever you are alone? A few weeks ago, my wife brought up the striking reality that sometimes we have a hard time choosing to cease the input from media. And it does have an effect on our minds, which in turn affects our attitude and actions. For college students, media is our main avenue for knowledge, a place of entertainment, and a place to let our minds vegetate after four hours of class.
Three weeks ago Sarah decided it would be great to get together with friends and watch the first 3 Harry Potter movies to kick off October. Now we aren't hardcore Harry Potter enthusiasts in this house but we do like our movies. Not to mention Harry Potter is based in England, and if you know anything about Sarah you'll understand her love for it. We invited friends and the party was put on the calendar.
As we were counting down the days, Sarah pointed out something that is anything but a rare occurrence. My phone didn't leave my hand, I was constantly checking it. When confronted about this I told her why I was looking at my phone, checking my computer and watching something on the television. "There are things to do," I said. "I like this stuff," I reasoned. We then started to discuss all the things I was reading, listening to and watching all day long. Now, my days are full of work and school and it was amazing how much time I spent with my eyes glued to a computer screen or my ear drums beating with the sound of our current culture's music. Sarah spoke kindly saying, "You spend too much time in media honey. When you spend that much time watching things or listening to things, it starts to change your attitude and you lose yourself in that world." After a long discussion, I concluded that she was right. And so began our fast from media until the Harry Potter Party. What a revealing two weeks that was!
You see, according to my understanding, once you start taking information in, information has to come out, and what is going in determines what is coming out. Makes sense right? Think about this: What are you letting in? Is it the right stuff? Let me explain: Media is powerful. If you've been on Facebook 10 of the 24 hours in the day, you're probably less involved in your world and more in that of your friend who is 3 states away. If all you listen to is Macklemore, then his values will show up in your life. Where is the proper input? In that webpage? In his songs? Or is it found somewhere else? I argue it needs to be found in the Lord and his word.
There is a trend in our culture and age group to constantly open our minds to input from Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Youtube, Blogger, Hulu, Netflix, and so on. What the ratio of time you gave to media vs. time you spent with the LORD in prayer or in his word this week?
Here's the reality: Most of us are subconsciously hiding in media input. Whether we are hiding from God, from our demons within, or from ourselves, we are using media to hide or go numb. As for myself, I try clinging to things that make me momentarily forget about my pain or fears. I often try to use movies, TV and music to act as a soothing balm to my ailments. But here's my experience: When you force fear or pain into the dark, it grows. It makes connections with other dark things and they bind together so when one is physically alone and his mind slips for but a moment, the dark thoughts come crashing like waves. Like ice cubes at the bottom of the tilted cup smashing into my face. They overwhelm me. Soon, I find myself mindless, wandering around, sitting in shock with a tear in my eye wondering where I was for the past five minutes, and I feel like there is a thick layer of tar in my chest for the rest of the day.
So why do we run to media? Unbelief that God can heal our wounds? Nah. We know he will. We are afraid of the healing. Disagree? Give yourself a moment of honesty. Go on, just ask yourself if you think God is bigger then your mess. We know he is! The truth lies within our minds, but our hearts are too scared to accept it. We know God is bigger then our demons yet we hold on to them. Why do we fear? Because healing comes through grace. And the scary thing about grace is that it makes you vulnerable. Grace doesn't sweep messiness out of sight. Grace exposes the mess to the light. Because without exposure, there can be no healing.
We run to media to hide from our brokenness, but grace is confrontational. Sometimes we use media as a shield to ignore the present issue and bury ourselves in a world that isn't our own. In truth we need to seek out Jesus and find healing within his community. Grace is confrontational, life is messy and in the end grace is so good and freeing. God takes our brokenness and reveals it to truth and says, "This is what reality is. This is truth. Dwell in it." God invites us to dwell in his grace and to set us free from our brokenness in Jesus. He does that through the Holy Spirit working within the people of God.
We came out of our fast with a new appreciation for God's grace to work in our hearts and minds. Media isn't all bad. We spent the whole day watching Harry Potter movies, but we did it with friends that we love. We spent time in relationship talking about the movie, sharing insights about how the movie speaks to our culture and of certain truths. We commented on the struggle of the life of Harry, how broken Voldemort is and how cool Dumbledore is. We broke our fast in community, with brothers and sisters. God's redemptive plan is ushered and demonstrated in and through the people of God. God's Spirit works in others to make his grace known and to pull the brokenness from each other and reveal it for all to see partake in the healing process. God's love and grace flows throughout the community. It floods our hearts and satisfies our souls.

A New Opportunity to Help
Every school is a school in need but sometimes a school in need really has immediate needs. This week a local Portland K-8 school was hit with a three alarm fire. Thankfully none of the 460 students we hurt. You can read more about it here. Much of the Portland community is reaching out to help this school get back on its feet. The students are being moved to a temporary school home which is being outfitted with donations from area businesses and manpower from volunteers to be able to open next week.
I reached out to the group organizing the donations called Schoolhouse Supplies to see what they needed in the way of books and what their special education program needs were. We're working out the details now but Court's Kids will provide a set of books so that each student can take home a book to keep as well as a set specifically for the special education program. Our second round of donation which will come later will consist of a supply of books to help rebuild their library.
Last night I wrote about the tough day I'd had missing my sister. After I finished up my blog post I poked through the news online as I often do. It's usually late and the only real time I get to learn about what's going on in the world. Something really pushed me to find out how we could support Marysville. I sent a simple email asking how we could help and a representative emailed me back today…her name is Courtney.
