Expanding the Pie With Multi-Asset Funds
Investors seeking to simplify their decision-making and the management of their portfolio often look to mutual funds or ETFs that hold multiple types of assets. Known by various names, including balanced funds, lifestyle funds, managed funds and target-date funds, these funds spread their investments across multiple asset classes—such as stocks, bonds and cash. Some have the flexibility to shift their allocations over time, while others adhere to a set allocation. Most take a "fund of funds" approach, investing in underlying mutual funds or ETFs that fulfill their investment objectives.
More recently, a different breed of multi-asset fund has become increasingly popular. These funds have greater leeway in how their assets are allocated and in the underlying investment vehicles available to them. Beyond stocks and bonds, they are able to invest in a wide array of asset classes, such as real estate investment trusts (REITs), emerging-market debt, master limited partnerships (MLPs) and preferred stocks. Some also offer exposure to commodities and foreign currencies. Multi-asset funds were a popular pick for investors in 2012, posting their 12th consecutive month of positive net inflows in November 2012.1
Multi-asset funds can be an effective way for investors to diversify and broaden their portfolio exposures, providing access to a wider range of investments than might otherwise be available to them. But they often entail increased risks and expenses. If multi-asset funds sound appealing to you, here are some things you should know.
A Literal World of Opportunity
Multi-asset funds allow investors to gain exposure to a globally diverse mix of asset classes and styles in a single portfolio. Although each will vary according to its particular investment strategy and objectives, these funds take a tactical approach, investing across a number of dimensions. Managers of multi-asset funds will typically evaluate the broad range of assets at their disposal, taking into consideration such factors as sources of return, risk exposures and investment styles. Fund managers then overlay issues such as market dynamics, investor sentiment and the state of the economy to assess investment opportunities across various types of assets, applying their insights and expertise to establish what they believe to be an optimal mix.
Beyond establishing an initial asset allocation, multi-asset funds are actively managed, with fund managers adjusting allocations as market conditions or outlooks change. Multi-asset funds have the flexibility to make tactical shifts to address macro- or micro-economic impacts in an effort to achieve improved performance.
Different multi-asset funds can have vastly different objectives. Some, for instance, focus on a specific slice of the market, such as emerging markets. Others seek to address a particular investment objective, such as providing inflation protection or tempering the effects of market sell-offs. Some incorporate short-selling as well as long positions. Some may invest in foreign currency to provide a hedge against the U.S. dollar. Some focus on providing regular income, others on growth. While any particular fund may not provide the full diversification desired in an overall portfolio, a multi-asset fund may make sense in the context of a broader portfolio.
Advantages for Individual Investors
The most obvious advantage of multi-asset funds is the exposure they can provide to a wide range of assets and asset classes—many of which individual investors may have difficulty accessing directly, particularly in smaller accounts. Examples include emerging markets debt, real estate, precious metals and other commodities.
A benefit of using a multi-asset fund to access unusual asset classes is the ease of entry and exit that they provide. Investors seeking broad asset diversification outside of a fund structure would have to look to various sources, requiring multiple trades and ongoing monitoring, as well as needing to address not only market-timing decisions but the potential complexities of tax issues and rebalancing to maintain desired allocations. Within the structure of a mutual fund or ETF, the fund manager makes those decisions, including which assets to overweight or underweight, the duration a particular asset is held, and the specific assets that are acquired.
Another potential benefit to holding a multi-asset fund is the discipline it bestows. Too often, investors have been known to chase asset classes that have offered the highest near-term returns, only to buy in at precisely the wrong time and watch the value of their investment erode. That's not to say that professional money managers don't miss market cycles or make bets on the wrong holdings, but individual investors are more apt to chase trends and end up on the wrong side of a formerly "hot" asset class.
In addition, with fixed-income yields at their lowest levels in decades and ongoing anxiety regarding future Federal Reserve actions, multi-asset funds that focus on fixed income have gained particular appeal. For investors seeking yield, it may make sense to diversify their income sources as broadly as possible.
Understand the Risks and Trade-Offs
A broad multi-asset fund may be an attractive vehicle to gain diversification, and a fund that has the maximum breadth and flexibility to move in and out of assets at different times may be appealing to many investors. But despite their diversification, multi-asset funds often entail a higher level of risk as a result of volatility in their underlying investments. In addition, expenses are likely to be higher than other, less-diversified investment products; and in fund-of-funds structures, expenses are often compounded due to underlying transaction costs and potentially high turnover.
Before investing in any multi-asset fund, you should clearly understand its investment strategy and objectives, the types of investments it may draw upon, and how it allocates its holdings. Examine the fund's underlying holdings to make sure it meets your risk profile, is truly diversified, and makes sense in the context of your overall portfolio.
Although some have been on the market for years, multi-asset funds are relatively new on the investment scene, having gained traction since the 2008 financial crisis. As a result, many have a short track record. But they're gaining visibility, thanks to their introduction in many retirement plan line-ups. As with all investments, how they've performed in the past has no bearing on how they may do in the future.
Schwab offers resources to help investors research multi-asset funds. To explore funds available through Schwab, log in to schwab.com/research, click on the Mutual Funds tab and enter "Multi-asset fund" in the Research box. Click on a fund to learn more about it, including its investment strategy and fund profile (under "Fund Facts & Fees"); asset allocation (under "Portfolio"); and, of course, performance. Multi-asset funds also appear on Schwab's Mutual Fund OneSource Select List®, under "Additional Fund Categories."

Investment value will fluctuate, and shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.
Diversification does not eliminate the risk of investment losses.
Periodic investment plans (dollar-cost-averaging) do not ensure a profit and do not protect against loss in declining markets.
The use of real estate investment trusts (REITs), emerging-market debt, master limited partnerships (MLPs), commodities and foreign currencies and preferred stocks introduces additional volatility and risk to principal.

Getting Added to Subscribers' Address Books
When your subscribers add you to their address book, they are essentially telling their ISP that they want to receive email from you, and in some cases it can even get your correspondence to show up with images turned 'on' by default and rendering correctly. As Stefan notes,
"ISPs want to deliver only the e-mail their customers say they want to receive, so they check those personal whitelists when deciding whether to deliver, block, or direct to the spam folder your e-mail."
Stefan outlines some simple steps you can take to improve your chances of getting added to your subscribers' address books, and I'll show you how to implement them using MailChimp.
First, be sure to modify both your subscription and thank you pages with a request to be added to a subscriber's address book. Ideally, this should help reduce the number of welcome or opt-in confirmation messages being blocked by spam filters. Also, be sure to remind people to keep an eye out for the subscription confirmation request so that if it does end up in the spam folder, it can be retrieved (and the opt-in process completed).
One cool thing MailChimp does (just in case) is we attach vCards to your thank you pages and welcome emails, so that your subscribers can simply click to add you. But you should still take some time to signup for your own list, and tweak things a little.
You should also create "add to address book" reminders for both your confirmation and welcome emails. Stefan recommends making this the first line of both the confirmation and welcome emails, which ensures greater visibility. (In other words, don't hide the request in your email header or footer).
It is simple and highly recommended that you modify the default emails within MailChimp. Here's how!
When you select a particular list under the "Lists" tab in the MailChimp dashboard, a panel with a number of options will appear. In order to tweak your signup forms and response emails to include an "add to address book" request, first click the link for "design signup forms & response emails".
When you get to the Form Designer, simply select from the options at the right to tweak your Signup Form, Signup "Thank You" Page, Opt-In Confirmation Email, etc.
Stefan also suggests including an "add to address book" request in the footer section of your regular message template as a consistent friendly reminder to your subscribers.
You can add customized incentives to your welcome process to get more people to signup

Cape Colony is proving a tiresome assignment for Thomas Kydd's daring commander-in-chief Commodore Popham: South America's Spanish colonies are in a ferment of popular unrest. Rumors of a treasure hoard of Spanish silver spur him to assemble a makeshift invasion fleet and launch a bold attack on the capital of the Viceroyalty of the River Plate in Buenos Aires. Navigating the treacherous bars and mud flats of the river, the British invasion force wins a battle against improbable odds, taking the capital and the silver. But the uprising that promises the end of Spanish rule never arrives and the locals begin to see dark conspiracies behind the invader's actions. Now Kydd's men must face resistance and the betrayal of their closest allies. Can they save themselves and their prize?

A POLICE probe has been launched after judges' lunches at a London court were served up laced with urine.
Judges and barristers at Snaresbrook Crown Court in East London complained that the food smelled 'a bit off'.
Initial investigations discovered the lunches had been spiked with urine – possibly by someone with a grudge against the legal system. It is unknown how long the food had been being peed on.
All kitchen staff have been suspended and temporary replacements brought in while the police investigate.
Judges, lawyers and court staff have been sent letters saying the matter is being taken 'very seriously', according to The Sun newspaper.
The letter added that if anyone is feeling unwell after eating the food they should contact a doctor.
Police in London confirmed they had launched a joint 'food contamination' investigation alongside Redbridge Council.
A source told The Sun: 'Hygiene inspectors started an investigation. People are worried there might be someone working in the kitchens with a serious grudge against the legal system.
'They've suspended the entire catering staff including many old women who have worked there for donkey's years.
'New people have been brought in temporarily while the police conduct their investigation.'

Bloomberg, Comcast Argue About Channel Placement
Bloomberg threatens to file a complaint with the FCC, arguing the cable giant is ignoring a condition placed on it in the NBCUniversal deal, while Comcast says Bloomberg misinterprets the condition.
NEW YORK - Bloomberg said Friday that cable giant Comcast has ignored a condition on channel placement that was included in the FCC order that approved its acquisition of NBCUniversal.
"Bloomberg LP has served notice to Comcast that – if Comcast continues to ignore the order – Bloomberg LP intends to file a complaint with the FCC seeking enforcement of the condition," said the company, which operates the Bloomberg Television financial news channel. The channel particularly is a competitor of NBCUniversal's CNBC, which Bloomberg was concerned would be at an advantage in Comcast cable homes following the merger.
The goal of the FCC order in question was to ensure that Comcast wouldn't treat its own networks better and put competing independent programmers at a disadvantage. The FCC had ruled that if Comcast "neighborhoods" its news, including business news, networks on a cable system's channel lineup, "it must include all unaffiliated news (or business news) channels in that neighborhood."
Since the FCC's order on Jan. 18, "Comcast has taken no steps to comply with the independent news provision of the order, Bloomberg said Friday. It accused Comcast of "anti-competitive practices."
Comcast responded that the FCC didn't require it to move Bloomberg TV next to CNBC in its channel lineup and emphasized that it hasn't given NBCUniversal news channels better placement.
"Bloomberg simply misinterprets the 'neighborhooding' condition in the FCC's Comcast NBCUniversal transaction order," Comcast said in a statement. "Comcast does not 'neighborhood' news channels in the way Bloomberg seeks to be repositioned. Further, Comcast has not repositioned any channels to favor CNBC or any other affiliated news channel. Bloomberg is not entitled to any relief pursuant to its threatened complaint."
Asked about the placement of Bloomberg TV, a Comcast spokeswoman said the company doesn't havestandard channel lineups across the country. But she added that many news channels were established and put on the Comcast lineup well before Bloomberg TV launched.
The statement added: "If Comcast is forced to do what Bloomberg wants the FCC to mandate beyond the requirements of the FCC order, millions of customers will be subject to disruption and confusion required by massive channel realignments across the country, all to benefit an already thriving, $30 billion media company."
"The FCC wisely placed conditions on the merger in order to protect the public. Comcast affirmatively agreed to those conditions," said Peter Grauer, chairman of Bloomberg LP. "Comcast's decision to ignore these conditions is unacceptable. If Comcast continues to thumb its nose at the FCC's order, Bloomberg will take its case to the Commission and ask that it enforce the conditions it attached to approval of Comcast's acquisition of NBC-Universal."
Under FCC procedure, Bloomberg can file a formal complaint 10 days after providing notice to Comcast.

Soft toys that make to seem girls
In cool whitewash with two coral
Valves of lip printing each others' grease ...
A clockwork Cupid's bow. Increase!
Their cherry-ripe hullo brims the open purse
Of eyes washed white by the marmoreal light;
So swaying as if on pyres they go
About the buried business of the night,
Cold witches of the elementary tease
Balanced on the horn of a supposed desire...
Trees shed their leaves like some of these.

The scene was sealed-off so forensic examinations could take place and investigations continued to try and find out who the woman is.
No details of how she died or how old she is have been released at this stage, however, a post mortem examination will be carried out later to determine the cause of death.
A large part of Buckland Road is still sealed off today and officers are still at the scene.
Bob Worley's farm, Oakleigh, is not far from the Old Pond where the body was discovered at about 1.30pm yesterday.
Bob, 64, said: "My partner was told by police that some remains were found in a suitcase in the pond, which is dried out now.
"I guess it could have been there for several weeks as the water level has fallen quite a bit in that time, it must have been dumped there."
Another passer-by who didn't want to be named, said: "We were going for a walk down Buckland Road but it was sealed off and there was a police van parked at the end stopping people from going down there."
A spokesman for Kent Police said: "I can confirm the body was found in a suitcase in the Old Pond."
Landowner Jaspar Wright, who lives at Buckland Farm, declined to comment on the matter.
Other residents in the Hoo Peninsula village spoke of their shock at the find.
Natalie Filmer, who lives near the farm, said: "I heard about it on Facebook. People are very shocked.
"There are rumours going round that the body was found in a suitcase, but that's all we know."

Two separate stories unfold as teams of scientists travel to Africa in search of dinosaurs. For years locals have spoken of and seen these large animals, but most chalk them up to legendary tales passed down through the ages. But when Jim Thompson, game warden at Masai Mara Game Reserve finds large unidentifiable animal tracks in his park and has several elephants mauled he sets out to find the beast that has found its way into the Game Reserve. He enlists the help of is long-time friend - dinosaur expert, Dr. Dan Williams and together they embark on the adventure of a lifetime. Meanwhile, Dr. Stephen Gregory has just been relieved of his teaching position at a university for his beliefs relating to the creation of the world. Upon his release he is presented with the opportunity to lead a dinosaur hunting expedition. As the two stories unfold there will be plenty of surprises and adventure along the way!
Positives: Finally a book that deals with dinosaurs from a creationist standpoint! Many questions about creation, evolution and science are handled and the creationist viewpoint is presented clearly and biblically.
Negatives: None
Talking Points: Obviously this book presents a great opportunity to talk about creation as taught in the Bible and evolution that is the popular worldview. Over and over again in the book the ideas of evolution are shown to be based on poor scientific methods while the Bible gives us all the answers we need to understand how and why our earth was created. Talk with your kids about the importance of the authority of Scripture in their lives (2 Tim. 3:16, John 17:17). Another interesting conversation to have is that if dinosaurs were ever found it would not change or have any impact on the teachings of the Bible, however, evolutionists would have to change their entire belief system. What a great example of how truth never changes! While this is a fictional story I've provided some links that I found very interesting as I pondered whether there may still be dinosaurs here on earth. If you've never heard of Answers in Genesis, I highly recommend the resources they provide. Here and Here! Enjoy!

The Forgetting by Sharon Cameron
Hardcover: 416 pages
Publication date: Scholastic Press
Publisher: September 13th 2016
Add on: Goodreads
What isn't written, isn't remembered. Even your crimes.
Nadia lives in the city of Canaan, where life is safe and structured, hemmed in by white stone walls and no memory of what came before. But every twelve years the city descends into the bloody chaos of the Forgetting, a day of no remorse, when each person's memories – of parents, children, love, life, and self – are lost. Unless they have been written.
In Canaan, your book is your truth and your identity, and Nadia knows exactly who hasn't written the truth. Because Nadia is the only person in Canaan who has never forgotten.
But when Nadia begins to use her memories to solve the mysteries of Canaan, she discovers truths about herself and Gray, the handsome glassblower, that will change her world forever. As the anarchy of the Forgetting approaches, Nadia and Gray must stop an unseen enemy that threatens both their city and their own existence – before the people can forget the truth. And before Gray can forget her.

How does one make the most of their affiliate marketing program? On what areas of affiliate management should one focus to optimize the ROI of an existing affiliate program? These and many other questions are answered by today's guest.
Today's Q&A is with Carolyn Tang Kmet, former Director of Affiliate Marketing for Groupon, currently VP of Performance Marketing at All Inclusive Marketing Inc and holds Affiliate Summit's Affiliate Manager of the Year 2010 Pinnacle Award. Carolyn is also an adjunct lecturer at the Loyola University of Chicago, where she teaches both undergraduate and MBA level e-marketing courses
What are the major challenges with which you see affiliate managers struggle?
There are a lot of challenges with affiliate marketing. However, there aren't any that can't be overcome.
The first one that comes to mind is spend management, which encompasses fraudulent transactions and accounting for reversals and returns. In order to identify potential fraud within an affiliate program, managers need to set up alerts based on several key metrics such as conversion rate, average order value, click frequency, reversal rate, etc. Alerts aren't provided by the network, but can be something that the affiliate manager can set up within a proprietary dashboard.
Another challenge would be proving incremental value. The standard model in affiliate marketing is based on performance. So if you are paying commission on a transaction, the question will always be, "Would we have gotten that transaction on our own? What value did the affiliate add?" With incentive sites, you would look for evidence of higher average order values or a higher frequency of purchase.
With any site, you would look for a new customer percentage. There are definitely ways to prove incremental value. It all goes back to the idea if you are a pro-active affiliate manager, you should have your own, custom dashboard that tracks metrics that are specifically important to you.
What do you view as the main affiliate program growth opportunities?
Mobile is a big one for me. According to Forrester, mobile purchasing grew by 80% in 2011, and is expected to double by the end of 2012. Why mobile? First, it is the only device that is continuously attached to a single consumer. It's the only channel that truly bridges online and offline consumerism.
You can walk into a store, see a product, and either order it via your cell phone, or find a different distributor. It's driving price transparency, and the retailers and affiliates that can figure out how to harness this characteristic will make a killing.
Nearly two years ago you transitioned from being a affiliate network-based affiliate manager (on ShareASale) to managing Groupon's affiliate program in-house. What are some of the things that affiliate program managers that didn't have in-network experience (i.e. working for an affiliate network) don't know (the things that can help them improve their program management)?
A lot of people see discrepancy between network metrics and internal data, and assume that the reason for this is poor tracking technology on the network side. However, most discrepancies can be explained if you dig into the data enough. Perhaps internal metrics attributed the transaction to a different source based on some pre-determined criteria. It simply is not in the network's best interest to have bad tracking mechanisms.
Most networks are also performance based, so they only get paid if the sale tracks properly. The other benefit that comes from working with a network, is that you can see overall trends in the affiliate base. So if one retailer notices a downturn in clicks, the network can see whether or not this behavior was isolated to a single merchant, or if it was cross-network. However, affiliate managers can compensate for this on their own by asking another affiliate manager.
The good thing about this industry is that, for the most part, everyone is approachable and willing to share what knowledge they can.
Give us 5 tips that affiliate managers (and/or merchants) could implement right away -- to maximize the performance of their affiliate program(s).
- Sales incentives and promotions really do work! Schedule an hour in your calendar right now to sit down and figure out your promotion schedule for 2013.
- Give a fixed bonus for hitting a certain sales tier, increase commission on a specific product category, provide a first or second sale bonus to activate new affiliates. Come up with a new promotion for every month, and then commit to implementing it.
- Also, take some time to create a custom reporting dashboard for yourself that tracks key metrics that you find valuable: number of click active affiliates, number of sale active affiliates, top 10 affiliates, etc.
- My other suggestion would be to rank your top 100 affiliates, and then track their ranking over time. Week over week, quarter over quarter, so that if someone who used to be in your Top 20 is suddenly in the bottom 10, you'll know to reach out.
- Finally, know what your benchmark averages are: conversion rate, average order size, return rate, and set up alerts so you know to take action when some metric exceeds the standard band.
What's one good reason why etailers and affiliate managers should engage affiliates around special promotions?
Every affiliate program has affiliates who joined and aren't doing anything. However, with most affiliate programs, the choice to join is entirely affiliate driven.
If an affiliate joined your program, then there was some reason, some idea that they had, that made them join your program. If they're in your program and are inactive, all you need to do to activate them is give them a little incentive to get them rolling.
Comments (2)
I have managed various affiliate programs throughout my career and I can completely relate to the points Carolyn has made. The main challenge I also found in every company I worked in was that affiliates were always treated as the "black sheep" of the family. This meant that it was never integrated into overall company, although this has changed over the recent years. I still feel that not all companies are in the same position and some still have a lack of understanding of how each affiliate is actually making sales.
I agree that communication is key and also important that if businesses are operating an affiliate program they invest in resource. A lot of the work is building partnerships and having that personal touch, bearing in mind most publishers receive 1000's of emails a day.
Some brands are taking control of this and investing in their own branded affiliate hubs so partners have a central place to access all information good examples of brands doing this are The body Shop and Thomson holidays.
Absolutely. I've often felt that because individual partners bring in less revenue than larger bus dev relationships, not a lot of companies value their affiliates. It's not until they see the performance of the affiliate marketing channel as a whole, that the "black sheep" status gets lifted. Eventually, as the industry matures, as an affiliate channel represents a greater percentage of a company's overall marketing revenue, affiliate marketing will eventually get the same due respect as other mature marketing channels.

Research firm puts Lotte fair value at a discount to IPO price
Posted on 29 June 2017 - 10:36am
PETALING JAYA: Hong Leong Investment Bank (HLIB) Research opined that the fair value for Lotte Chemical Titan Holding Bhd is at a 7.6% discount to the initial public offering of RM8, at odds with other research houses that put it at least a slight premium to the IPO price.
HLIB Research values the petrochemical firm at RM7.39 pegged to 12 times FY18 price-to-earnings ratio (PER), a discount to the 13 times to 16 times PER of its significantly larger peers – Petronas Chemicals Group Bhd (PChem) and Formosa Chemicals.
The research house is of view that Lotte is at a disadvantage to PChem's valuation of 15.9 times PER due to several reasons: PChem is two times larger than Lotte; PChem possesses cost advantage over Lotte as it uses ethane feedstock, which results in a lower and more stable feedstock cost structure as compared with naphtha feedstock; PChem's higher earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (ebitda) margin at 38.7% versus Lotte's 25.6% in FY16.
Furthermore, HLIB Research believes petrochemical product margins for Lotte appear to have peaked and the risk of margins reverting to lower levels is high at this level, given the expectation of capacity expansion in regional and global market.
Kenanga Research however, reckons the RM8 offer price is fair, with a valuation of RM9.05 per share pegged to a 13.2 times FY18 PER.
Meanwhile, PublicInvest Research has put Lotte at a slight premium of 13 times PER, translating into a fair value of RM8.08. However, it said Lotte's valuation is still reflective of its Southeast Asian peers average of 12.2 times.
HLIB Research expects Lotte to achieve core net profits compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.8% over the period of 2017-2019, premised on the assumptions of gradually lower revenue per metric tonne; narrowing ebitda margin from 25.6% to 19.1% on lower expectation of product spread due to global capacity expansion; 7% growth in product volume (three-year CAGR) after factoring in TE3 and PP3 capacity.
PublicInvest Research estimates a three-year CAGR revenue of 4.1% for Lotte despite the increase in capacity, due to fluctuations in raw material price of naphtha as the primary feedstock for the group's plants, which would affect the overall selling price of its products.
Lotte is expected to incur RM16 billion of capital expenditure (capex) for the next five years. Bulk of the capex would consist of integrated petrochemical facility in Indonesia for RM15.1 billion in total, of which 67% of the capex would be funded via borrowings.
HLIB Research believe the group is able to fund its capex without requiring further equity cash call as it is in a net cash position of RM965.1 million, with net incoming IPO proceeds of RM5.8 billion.
Lotte, slated for listing on July 11, is expected to raise about RM5.9 billion from the new issuance of 740.5 million shares.

Spicy Cheese + Smoked Paprika Coins
If you like it, save it!
Save and organize all of the stuff you love in one place.Got it!
If you like something…
Click the heart, it's called favoriting. Favorite the stuff you like.Got it!
Author Notes: We make these tiny, round cheese crackers for any kind of gathering where you'll need an easy finger food for picking up and snacking. (They also happen to be a very nice size for packaging up in a glass jar and gifting around the holidays or as a hostess present.) More interesting than the usual platter of crackers and cheese, these buttery coins taste intensely of cheddar cheese. A little bit of cornmeal gives them a pleasantly crunchy texture, and a generous heap of flavorful herbs and spices. —Posie (Harwood) Brien
Makes: about 30 coins
cup all-purpose flour
tablespoons cornmeal
teaspoon kosher salt
teaspoon cayenne pepper
teaspoon smoked paprika
teaspoon ground sage leaf
tablespoons very cold unsalted butter, diced
cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
cup plus 1 tablespoon milk
- In a food processor, combine the flour, cornmeal, salt, cayenne, paprika, and sage. Process until the mixture is in coarse crumbs.
- Add the cheese and pulse until well-combined.
- Add the butter and pulse until well-combined. (Don't overmix here.) With the food processor running, slowly add the milk in a stream and continue to process until the dough comes together in a ball.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and shape it into a disc. Wrap the disc tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 12 hours (or up to 3 days).
- When you're ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350°F. Working with half of the chilled dough at a time (leave the other half in the refrigerator until ready to use), roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface to about 1/16-inch thickness. Using a small round cutter (I like a 1-inch wide cutter), punch out small circles of dough.
- Transfer circles to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for about 15 minutes (start keeping a very close eye on them after 10 minutes), or until the crackers are golden brown on the edges. They will crisp up as they cool.
- Remove from the oven and let sit on the pan for a minute, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- This recipe is a Community Pick!

Now more than ever, professional sports organizations and athletes need to be diligent regarding the information about them that appears online. We provide discrete and effective reputation consulting services to many of the top sports teams.
West Palm Beach, Florida (PRWEB) December 31, 2013
Fat Brain Interactive, a Florida-based boutique reputation consulting firm and media agency, has launched its new online reputation management services for professional athletes and sports teams across the United States.
The firm, which offers a wide range of media services tailored to sports teams and organizations is helping athletes from the NFL, NBA, Major League Baseball and others boost their reputations online, using a multichannel approach that includes social media monitoring, crisis management, press creation and syndication, reputation risk assessment and various other highly effective strategies.
"It's critical for athletes and sports teams alike to maintain a positive reputation, but these professionals face intense scrutiny from the media and fans alike. One mistake can jeopardize an entire career or playing season," said Gary Truitt, founder and chief strategist of Fat Brain Interactive. "Rumors run rampant on Facebook and Twitter, and once people perceive an individual or organization in a certain way, it can be difficult to reverse it. Our expanded services make it easier for athletes and teams to manage and maintain their reputations both online and in the real world."
Professional athletes across the globe are engaging in online reputation management as a way to combat negative press, rumors and criticism that are rampant in today's social media-driven society. For these athletes, a poor reputation can affect endorsement deals and the level of interest they receive from teams in the future. Many athletes have also had their personal information — such as cell phone numbers and email addresses — shared with millions of people on the Internet. In addition, sports teams often need online reputation management solutions to help them deal with countless rumors spread through social media, blogs, forums and other digital platforms.
Fat Brain Interactive offers a number of proven strategies to boost the online reputation of athletes and sports teams, including cohesive reputation assessments, press mitigation and response, social profile optimization, content monitoring and legal trademark protection. The firm also offers privacy issues management, public relations optimization and news release writing and distribution.
"Now more than ever, professional sports organizations and athletes need to be diligent regarding the information about them that appears online," said Truitt. "We're thrilled to provide an effective way for our clients to better deal with a world full of citizen journalists and rumor mills."

George W. Bush Quotes About OpportunityQuotes about: Opportunity
When it comes to the common rights and needs of men and women, there is no clash of civilizations. The requirements of freedom apply fully to Africa and Latin America and the entire Islamic world. The peoples of the Islamic nations want and deserve the same freedoms and opportunities as people in every nation. And their governments should listen to their hopes.
The teachings of many faiths share much in common. And people of many faiths are united in our commitments to love our families, to protect our children, and to build a more peaceful world. In the coming year, let us resolve to seize opportunities to work together in a spirit of friendship and cooperation. Through our combined efforts, we can end terrorism and rid our civilization of the damaging effects of hatred and intolerance, ultimately achieving a brighter future for all.
People expect those in authority to take on big problems and to solve them. We had an opportunity to reform Social Security in a way that would have protected people's benefits and created a solvent system. Younger workers would be confident that the money they were putting into the system would be available to them when they retired. It was a missed opportunity. I regret that.
In addition to declaring and destroying all of its weapons of mass destruction, Iraq must end its support for terrorism. It must cease the persecution of its civilian population. It must stop all illicit trade outside the oil-for-food program. And it must release or account for all Gulf War personnel, including an American pilot, whose fate is still unknown. By taking these steps, and only by taking these steps, the Iraqi regime has an opportunity to avoid conflict. These steps would also change the nature of the Iraqi regime itself. America hopes the regime will make that choice.

I've been using Wanin's patcher for some time, and there aren't many problems (I think). But now a friend told me that there I can just add the IOS needed to play the game and it'll work, and I wanted to know the pros and cons of each. Thanks!

Band name: Brighton, MA
Sound: On its just-released "Billboard Sun" EP, the indie-rock quintet channels the ragged glory of the Walkmen, veering between loosely anthemic rockers ("New Underground") and more introspective turns like the bruised "V-Day."
Need to know: The band has opened for Spoon, the Arcade Fire and the Walkmen, and its music has been featured on a diverse array of television programs, including "Community" and "Gossip Girl." In Dec. 2011, Brighton's song "Good Kind of Crazy" appeared in a holiday advertisement for Jack Daniels. The group recently finished basic tracking for its next, still-untitled full-length album, which it hopes to release sometime this spring.

So remember when Cam'ron stopped by the Breakfast Club and said he'd be dropping a cape line in the near future (among other things)? Well, it looks like the Harlem trendsetter was dead serious. Partnering up with designer Mark McNairy, Giles has created a set of custom luxury capes favoring his signature Dipset flavor. Check out a few more details and pictures provided by Complex below!
The first is a Harris Tweed cape with a plush faux fur lining. The next piece is made with flannel wool and a satin lining, perfect for Superman stunting while keeping Americana on one hunna. Because it's Mark McNairy, there's a camo option with blurred-out graphics and a sporty yellow mesh lining for breathability and pure why-the-fuck-not. And finally, when Killa's on his stealth-Batman shit trynna sneak in without Juju waking up, there's a black wool cape with a black quited lining. And every piece has Diplomats laced up the inner sides and either Dipset USA or Diplomats printed on the back, just in case you weren't aware that it was Cam'ron who just slumped your cape-less 'fit with his superhero swag.

Nation at Risk, National Standards, and Goals 2000
The National Standards Movement gained momentum with the publication of A Nation at Risk in 1983, and Goals 2000 continued the debate should the United States have a single set of national education standards for grades K-12. Please help me start a report about these writings and the resutling events.© BrainMass Inc. brainmass.com August 17, 2018, 11:15 pm ad1c9bdddf

As with optimal corporate functioning, the best run organizations are streamline 'top down.' In the same way, the issue with National Education Standards falls with the stakeholders (communities/citizens) and universities. The notion of individual states having responsibility to choose what is right for their citizens may seem like a good strategy but fails to set a foundation to maintain global competition.
The United States is failing in science innovation, for one, and the push simply to get top test scores in math and reading in the last decade, while important, has had a serious affect on other content areas. Apathy for school, intrinsic motivation to learn and exposure to other areas is in a ...

Unlike a lot of the other cam sites out there, Flirt 4 Free is so confident in their product, they're willing to put their money where their mouth is and give each new member 120 credits. And signing up is free, too. Their tour page shows dozens of choice models, ranging from innocent teens to tattooed punk rockers and experienced MILFs. As I write this, there's over 130 girls online, helping good citizens such as yourself get their rocks off. Oh, and there's plenty of niches, too, including some pretty out-there fetishes, and, of course, the all-time classics, i.e., D.P. and squirting. Anyway, enough talk. Let's see if this baby lives up to the hype.

It's easy to dig in here. The landing page has all the bare necessities at the top, allowing the user to filter between the sexes, browse profiles, and access a number of social networking tools, including your own personal inbox where you can not only communicate with other members, but models as well. Oh, and if you're willing to dish out the cash, there's a V.I.P. area, too.
One thing's for sure: you wont want for models 'round these parts. Upon my initial login there were 115 girs, 99 men, and 9 shemales online. I know the latter numbers could have been higher, but overall I was impressed, not only with the count, but the selection. They can be broken down into dozens of categories, too, such as girl-next-door, MILF, tattoos & piercings, Asian, and Domination, just to name a few. I particularly enjoy the latter. Some of these gals really know how to play the dom part to perfection.
And on that note, I must say that I've had overwhelmingly positive experiences with the models on at Flirt 4 Free. As a matter of fact, I must give bonus points to Sophie Moore, who has to be the most affable cam model I've yet to encounter and, believe you me, I've been to my share of cam sites. Whilst many girls want to hurry up and get a private going, Sophie is much more at home goofing off with the fellas, always careful to include everyone in her wild, oft random conversations. Admittedly, she said she was in a very good mood, feeling "chipper and relaxed." She also said she "came that morning" in hushed tones, as if sharing a secret with us all. Truly a Goddess. And I'm happy to report, almost every other model I encountered had a similar demeanor..
But I have a feeling you're more interested in the naughty stuff, right? Well, for tips, the girls are willing to flash, and often much, much more. In private shows, it's often a nearly anything goes situation, but just in case, you might want to see how far a model is willing to go in the free chat. Don't want to waste precious credit(s)(sometimes that initial minute can be as many as 120 credits) just to find out he or she is not willing to fulfill your personal fantasy.
But as much as I enjoyed chitchatting with these ladies, this site does still have its flaws. First off, even though I believe I earlier remarked that the pages were user-friendly, I still think they could do with more browse-tools. Being able to filter your model searches more thoroughly, for instance, would be a big start in the right direction. The current categories are nice, but I'd like to get a little more specific. We all want to find our dream girl, right?
Also, the model's pages could be a little more personal. Perhaps a more thorough bio. As is, they read like instructional manuals. I realize you get to get to know the girl's via cam and chat, and that's the best method, but it's still nice to be able to scope them out via profile. Especially if they're not currently online.
Also, not to look a gift horse in the mouth, but that free 120 credits doesn't go far if you aren't careful. With a more expensive model, that's 2 minutes of time. So, you better cum fast or work yourself up in the public chat like I did. Nevertheless, with proper usage, you can get near 5 minutes of show time with a an exceptionally hot, quick-to-act model. And, hell, even if you totally blow your credits, it's good to have the free membership. My only other real gripe with the model pages is that photos and other features can't be seen unless you're a V.I.P. member. Bummer.
I think the site's biggest flaw, however, is that the average credit-per-minute for each show just a tad on the high side. The first show I happened upon it was 90. The model was super hot and very affable, so I chalked it up to that. But the next show was 120-per-minute. Admittedly, most girls are closer to 60, but even still, that's quite expensive, considering 30 bucks only gets you around 120 credits. Although, this may explain why the models are so damn pleasant, and why the tipping system is in place .... Either way, I think there are better methods to be had. Definitely better for the user, anyway.
In their defense, though, they do give you a nice countdown clock, which, believe it or not, some of the so-called top shelf cam sites neglect to do. Now, if only they'd make it so we can cam/talk on the microphone back .... Just a thought.
Flirt 4 Free may not be the biggest site, or have all the bells and whistles of the big boys, either. What you do get, though, is, on average 150 hot amateur models at any given time and sometimes even big name porn stars crystal clear cam and audio tech, and, most importantly of all, the chance to check it out for free. And if you play your cards right, those 120 credits can go a long way into scoping this baby out. And to be honest, the credit arrangement isn't all that bad. Yeah, the site could do with some extra features, and some of the models could be more receptive, but all in all, it's a top-flight show. But see for yourself. I mean, what have you got to lose? Who knows, you might like it so much that you get yourself once of those fancy smancy V.I.P. memberships.

Barwa Real Estate Group has confirmed the launch of its new Oryx Island scheme at Cityscape Qatar.
The project, which will reportedly cost around $5.5bn to build, will have five floating hotels, an open-air theatre pavilion, commercial district, leisure areas and various residential options.
Oryx Island has been designed to provide temporary accommodation during the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. A series of venues are also planned for spectators to enjoy the football matches from the island.
Using the Arabian Oryx – a white antelope with lengthy horns native to the Arabian Peninsula – as its symbol, the design of the Oryx draws on Al-Maha Island and the natural ecosystem of Qatar. An official document by Barwa reads: "Plans are intended to reflect the ambitions of the young state of Qatar, striding towards upgrading the Qatari community, and pushing it ahead to the ranks of other developed nations.
Also included in the concept designs is a Maritime College with associated pearl hunting school to educate students on local marine life and traditional hunting techniques. The short video released by Barwa shows this college to be located in a spiked dome with cavernous atrium and expansive underwater facilities.
The scheme is currently at the concept design stage and is expected to take seven years to complete once construction has begun.

My lower back is hurting after I had a cold. I coughed a lot. Is it possible the cold went into my back?
A: Hello, Thanks for asking dLife. Did you experience any low back pain before you had your cold? Mild back pain is often made worse if you cough, or sneeze, or even sit or lie down for too long. The act of coughing or sneezing can also create pain in the back. There are many other factors that could contribute to low back pain. Most people who suffer from an attack of low back pain make a total recovery within a week or two and do so with little or no treatment. If the
Calf Muscle pain during running
A: Hi Trevor, The explanation as to why your calf muscle is feeling chronic pain can be as simple as the muscles are tight from repetitive strain injury, or as complicated as your sport has caused muscles to rotate your pelvis and put pressure on the nerve that tells your calf to spasm. Sports that involve high-intensity running will definitely cause a repetitive strain injury of the calf muscles. As you continue to run the muscles keep getting shorter and shorter due to the constant contraction of the fibers until eventually the fibers just can?t release to their normal length. To stretch the muscles while they are being held in this tight position is similar to taking a 12? length of rope, tying knots in it so it is now 11? and then trying to stretch it
Chronic pain for 10 mths now
A: Hi Kelly, I love working with endurance athletes because you understand what I"m explaining, and you"re determined to get well so you do as I suggest. I"ve worked with thousands of athletes in the past 20 years, in fact, I wrote a book titled "The pain-Free Triathlete" that is based on my work with Ironman triathletes. So, it will be great working with you and getting you back on the road again. It"s important to know that you CAN resolve this list of problems, I"ve seen it so many times in the past. Okay, let"s start with why all of the doctors, therapists, etc., haven"t worked yet. The odds are the massages either weren"t deep enough, or they were deep but sliding on the muscle fibers. If the therapist can slide on your...
Extensive leg pain and fatigue.
A: Hi Darryl, All of the symptoms, except your fingers, that you are describing can come from two muscles, the iliopsoas and quadriceps, being tight and rotating your pelvis down in the front and up in the back. Your fingers can be tingling from a bunch of muscles from your neck all the way to your hand. When any of the muscles are pressing on the nerves that go to your hand, you"ll feel the tingling in your fingers, but that doesn"t mean (in fact, it rarely means) that there is anything wrong with your fingers (and it"s also not carpal tunnel syndrome, although you may be told that). It"s a long explanation, but if you go to http://www.aboutcts.com you can read about how muscles from your neck to your hands cause these symptoms. Take a look at the page...

MRI Interpretation : Chronic back/neck pain
A: Dear Karen, Neither the lumbar or cervical MRI are really that bad from what is described because the nerve roots that exit the spine are not being impinged or encroached in any way. However, 1. You have degenerative changes to the joints and disc bulges in the neck, 2. The disk bulges in the neck to touch the outer covering of the spinal cord (thecal sac) which can create inflammation or irritation of the neck, 3. You have degeneration of the disks in the low back as well as bulging in two areas and a tearing of the outer portion of the disc at the lumbar level of L4-L5. This can result in broad based low back pain...usually without any radiation of
Is Chiropractic the answer for Chronic back and Neck pain?
A: And for another perspective on back pain, read the book, "Healing back pain" by Dr. John Sarno. He was a doctor who performed back surgeries for years and realized that the surgeries were unnecessary. He has been treating back pain without drugs or surgery for over 20 years and many people are healed of their back pain simply by reading his book! Kerri Knox, RN -The Immune Queen http://www.easy-immune-health.com The evidence for chiropractice for acute low back pain is reasonable, but...

A: Hi Iris, I believe you will be celebrating soon. If you have my book "Treat Yourself to pain Free Living" you"ll be able to do all the self-treatments that will resolve this issue. It"s perfect that you"re working with a massage therapist who is able to do trigger point therapy. Please let him know that he can send me a message (on my forum) and I"ll be happy to work along with him to resolve your issues. Iris, I"ve worked with people who were in terrible pain and even unable to walk, and when we released these muscles they came back to functioning normally again. Please stay encouraged and know that the odds are good that you"ll be fine soon. Wishing you well, Julie Donnelly...
