It's been very long since we talked. You may be angry at me for leaving without saying goodbye. Clichéd as it may be, the reason I didn't say goodbye was because it honestly hurt me to say goodbye to you not knowing when I'd be back, or indeed if ever I'd be back. I had to leave to make a name for myself. I've always loved you, but in the presence of your phenomenal intelligence I've always felt somewhat dimwitted. I so desperately wanted your attention and your approval but being the unemployed parasite that I were was no way of achieving those things. I constantly had this dream that we were married, with children and led 'happily-ever-after' type lives. I wanted to prove that I was capable of being something other than this lonely gamer who sponged off his family's fortune for a living. I wanted to prove that, in said dream, I would be able to provide for my loving wife and kids.
The irony of it all I guess is that I left the country that has wronged me in so many ways in the past to search for a brighter future, only to find myself in a dull and tedious environment with the most unimaginative job I could possibly acquire. "The pay is really good," I find myself repeatedly telling myself. My life choices in their entirety are constantly being questioned in my mind. Am I doomed to be alone like my father? Is the work stress and the constant reminder of you going to kill me at a young age? Will I even wake up tomorrow? All I think of is what might have been. It is becoming more apparent to me that you are the girl who got away: my destiny; my one and only. Oh, how I wish our paths would cross again. Because love, without you there is no tomorrow.
Our love was always doomed from the start. The timing of everything from your heartbreaks to my heartbreaks could not have been worse. I guess you shall forever remain embedded in my mind as a distant memory and unfortunately nothing more. I imagine you've already moved on and forgotten all about me. I imagine it's probably for the best.

Xarelto Stroke Lawsuit
Just like heart attacks, strokes are categorized under the primary things that cause death in the United States of America today. According to the CDC, 1 in 19 fatalities is a result of a stroke within America. Of course, strokes do not generally bring about death. In the US, almost 800,000 people go through a stroke on a yearly basis. A stroke is one of the major factors for long-term physical handicaps at the same time.
Why is it that strokes happen? Just what do I need to understand concerning strokes? Generally there are multiple factors for stroke in men and women. Let us put emphasis mostly on girls and strokes. The easy way thwart a stroke from going down is to keep in mind what precisely result in the strokes to begin with. First, we are going to take a look at risk factors for stroke and then we could go over precisely what goes on when you suffer a stroke. Lastly, we'll talk over things you could ask one's medical physician to trim your danger of experiencing a stroke.
Risk Factors for Strokes in Women
Did you know that females of every age are at danger for stroke? Needless to say, similarly to numerous medical problems, the potential risks improve with time, but even young gals are at stake for stroke. With that being said, listed below are the potential risks for gals to have strokes
Having members of the family who have experienced stroke
Tobacco smoking
Being overweight
Lack of exercise
Testing positive for diabetes
High Cholesterol
Utilizing oral contraception
Hormone replacement therapy (HRT after menopause
A thick waist combined with an increased triglyceride level
Being a migraine sufferer
Carrying a child can cause some variations inside the body which could connect to an increased possibility of stroke for the mother. Much higher blood pressure level and tension on the heart are a couple of leading reasons a pregnant mama is in jeopardy for stroke. Making use of hormone replacement therapy and oral contraception has been recognized to strengthen the probability of clotting which produces an increased risk of stroke.
A stroke takes place when a blood clot blocks blood from getting into the brain, or your blood vessel that leads to the brain ruptures. This keeps your brain from obtaining oxygen and can possibly lead to brain damage. That is why prevention is essential.
Queries You May Ask Your Specialist In Relation to Strokes
While you meet with your medical physician every year, it is crucial that you go over the screenings for health and wellbeing. Blood pressure, cholesterol levels, weight and activity level are all things for you and your medical professional to speak about. Consult with your health professional just what you can accomplish to greatly reduce your possibility for stroke.
Also inquire further what exactly the red flags are of a stroke so you will manage to detect it in time sooner than an excessive amount of damage develops. Working thoroughly with your health professional, you may perhaps give consideration to decreasing/cutting out use of HRTs and/or birth control pills as well.

From improving communication with clients to placing a bigger emphasis on risk management, advisors share how theyre navigating the rebounding market environment and how their practices have evolved as a result of hard lessons learned during the financial meltdown of 2008.
See this blog post in slideshow format here.
1. Jason Katz, UBS Wealth Management Americas New York, NY
The financial calamity shook most clients, advisors and investment firms to their core. My biggest takeaway is that when it comes to investing, NOTHING can be taken for granted. My biggest learning moments from the experience were:
- Don't rely solely on what other people say or what has happened historically.
- Every product, regardless of how "safe" it is, has to be personally researched and understood.
- Many clients and advisors don't understand risk until it hits them.
- It is important to define what risk means to you and your clients BEFORE money is put to work.
- Any return over the risk-free rate comes with a trade-off and incremental risk, clients must understand that upfront.
- Having a long term game plan is the ONLY way to weather a crisis.
- Even though there are periods where diversification hasn't worked, over the long run it's the only way to reduce the volatility of returns.
- "Set it and forget it" doesn't work. Clients must strategically rebalance.
2. Ronya Corey, Merrill Lynch Wealth Management -- Washington D.C.
The 2008 financial crisis has served as a reminder to revisit the basics with each individual client to determine their goals and redefine what risk means for them. I focus on making sure that my clients keep their long-term goals in sight, that they do not make rash decisions based only on the current noise of the market and the here and now. Although those conversations are important and relevant, each person needs to plan according to their future goals. For example, retirement wishes should be a part of every discussion, and as their advisor, I help push each client to think of the years far beyond today. To successfully accomplish this, I urge my clients to address their asset allocation in terms of risk when we are reviewing their financial plan. We need to discuss their worst case scenario to ensure that they can handle the unexpected financial situations that life sometimes hands us. I work closely with each individual to discuss and review the actions they may want to take to ensure that they are best positioned for growth opportunities while appropriately managing risk in todays environment.
3. Marilyn Littlejohn Schmitz, Raymond James -- St. Petersburg, Fla.
I saw the 2008 crisis as an opportunity to grow my business. Since I started in the securities industry in 1987 after Black Monday, I knew there would be clients who were not being well-served by less experienced advisors who were hiding under their desks. I scheduled monthly client open house forums for the next two years to get in front of clients and referrals. It has paid off extremely well for my practice.
4. Jeff Runyan, Wedbush Securities -- Beverly Hills, Calif.
Ive learned that investors have short-term memories and that returns in robust times may lure even the most rational minds to depart from intended goals of safety and prudence. Ive observed that the departure from safety is often due to emotionally exciting market movements. I recall from the financial implosion of 2008 that even investments with perceived safety and certainty can -- in a time of financial crisis -- not be immune to unwelcomed pricing vagaries.
What Ive done post-crisis is continuously and conscientiously remind clients that while the market may be up, it can easily and rapidly go down. These days, were adjusting expectations and more clearly outlining potential declines so its not as shocking if the printed value on a statement is less favorable.
5. Rick Ashcroft, Robert W. Baird. & Co. Houston
Most of our clients are retired and living on their investments, which was also true prior to the crisis. What we noticed in 2008 was that clients who had an investment plan and income strategy that addressed the possibility of periods of very poor performance tolerated the crisis far better than those who didnt. When people transition to retirement, they often think that working with a professional will largely insulate them from poor results. We have learned to make clear to them that it wont, but if we plan for disappointments, those episodes need not jeopardize their long-term goals.
6. Rob Brewer, Raymond James -- Lexington, Ky.
The financial crisis of 2008 was one of the toughest experiences of my 21-year career as an advisor, but it has truly made me a better one, particularly in terms of communication. We know that the prudent man rule has always been rule #1. Know your client and don't get them into anything they shouldn't be in.
That being said, we have to remind clients that markets that go up 20% can pull back just as far, and so we need to communicate constantly so that they don't make poor decisions in the next down cycle. I truly believe better days lie ahead for our markets but there will be plenty of volatility along the way and it is our job to help clients stay focused on their long-term goals, while communicating continuously.
7. Dan Torbeck, UBS Wealth Management Americas Cincinnati
In the 2008 crisis we had just a few clients who incorrectly went to cash in late 2008/early 2009 when the market lows were being reached. Based on client feedback here are two changes we have implemented since 2008 to help prepare clients for the next downturn.
- In the client financial planning sessions, we have begun to introduce a subtle but very important change when discussing the client's income needs. Instead of asking the client to provide one annual income figure we ask them to identify this figure in terms of needs, wants and wishes. This helps clients clearly differentiate between essential expenses (needs) and those that are lifestyle expenses (wants and wishes). The purpose is to introduce an element of annual income flexibility in the planning process if we experience another crisis.
- We switched to an alternative investment platform that enables our team of CFA's to make more timely portfolio strategy executions/adjustments, better control expenses through the use of ETF's/Individual stocks/bonds/mutual funds and allows for proactive risk management via hedging strategies when necessary.
8. Colleen Schon, Raymond James -- Clarkston, Mich.
I have learned that client expectations have differed since the crisis. What used to be about beating an index return is now about asset allocation and protecting their assets rather than just a return. Having double digit returns are nice but not as important anymore. Having a good mix of income sources along with consistent growth has become much more important to my clients.
9. Patricia Estopinal, Robert W. Baird. & Co. -- Roseville, Calif.
As a financial advisor since 1985, Ive seen many market cycles, including the 22% one day drop on October 19, 1987, and the tech bubble that burst in 2000. But, no market disruption comes close to comparing to the financial crisis of 2008; the impact on my clients, both emotionally and financially, was unprecedented. My approach to asset management, in this current market and always, has been to emphasize diversification into my clients portfolios (i.e. commodities, REITS, emerging markets debt and equities, etc.). But, after the crisis of 2008, I focus even more today on risk management, both on the equity and debt sides. An important part of my portfolio construction now incorporates alternative investments.
10. Richard Cardin, Benjamin F. Edwards & Co. Atlanta, Ga.
The biggest change for me over the past five years is my clients taking a more active interest in their investments and their overall financial situation. I have always felt it is important to proactively discuss portfolio risk versus reward. Prior to the Great Recession the concept of risk was an afterthought for many clients because they believed portfolio growth was a given just as many also believed their home price would always increase.
Since the crash, my clients definitely recognize the benefit of understanding the risk/reward concept and why it is important. They realize that markets dont always go up and they want to be prepared for the next downturn. My clients dont just take their statements and file them away anymore. They want to review their portfolios with me and understand how the pieces fit together to complement each other.
These discussions help my clients better understand the markets, allowing them to clarify their true investment objectives, and in turn more clearly communicate their goals. With this clarity I can better manage their expectations in good, as well as difficult, markets.
11. Malcolm Liles, Robert W. Baird. & Co. Nashville, Tenn.
Though weve been doing it all along, the most important lesson that was reaffirmed for us during the crisis is to stick to the fundamentals and practices that have always worked. The trouble starts when a client doesnt understand their investments or have clear communication with their advisor. If a client is honest about their risk tolerance and holds a broadly diversified and liquid portfolio with a trusted advisor who will tell them what they need to hear, rather than what they want to hear, they should feel confident that their portfolio can withstand market volatility over the long-term.
12. Peter Eckerline, Merrill Lynch Wealth Management -- Minneapolis, Minn.
We have worked to strengthen relationships with our clients in the past several years, and have increased communication with them on multiple levels. We are conducting more performance reviews and asset allocations with discussions centered on risk and return. We are meeting with clients in person more often, and having more conversations around planning and goals-based wealth management, rather than just relative returns. We find that clients who have been through the economic downturn are more risk averse, so were having more discussions about risk not just due to a market downturn but also with regard to the ratio allocated to fixed income. This has had a nice run for a number of years, but may potentially suffer if rates increase in the future, which is likely as the Federal Reserve tightens. For this reason, we want to ensure our clients have an allocation to stocks which may continue to perform well in the future.
13. Lauri Droster, RBC Wealth Management -- Madison, Wis.
Of course 2008 and early 2009 were painful for everyone. It was our job to calm investors down and help them not make poor decisions that were going to affect their financial future. I have always had a healthy percentage in bonds in my clients' portfolios, and it certainly was difficult to convince clients to stay the course when they were seeing their bond portfolios go down in value along with the stocks. That was really unprecedented and very scary for people. Looking back, we had some incredible opportunities to buy bonds (and stocks) at prices that, a couple years later, were showing huge gains. The other opportunity was switching mutual funds in order to harvest capital losses for the tax benefit. That way, at least clients felt like they were getting some of their money back. Even though we're going to have potential losses on bonds going forward, I think clients still have to have bonds in their portfolio for the income generation. Bonds went down in 2008, but they still didn't go down as much as stocks.
14. Dennis Anderson, Benjamin F. Edwards & Co. Woodstock, Ill.
First, I spend much more time discussing market volatility, and how long-term averages tend to mask the very real emotional impact of events like those that occurred in 2008 and 2009. At the same time, however, I remind clients that once again, even after one of the worst pullbacks since the Great Depression, those who stayed the course and did not sell in panic have generally been rewarded.
Finally, asset allocation based upon modern portfolio theory did not, at least in the short-term, offer meaningful downside protection in 2008 and 2009, as most asset classes were hurt significantly (except for Treasury securities) and almost to the same degree. While this may have been a one-time event, I now suggest that many clients consider supplementing (not replacing) their strategic asset allocation models with alternative investments and tactical asset allocation strategies.
15. David Nethery, Merrill Lynch Wealth Management -- Dallas
The 2008 financial crisis taught our team to keep clients strategically focused on their personal financial goals. Our approach is focused on helping clients achieve the results they desire, rather than just the process of creating a financial strategy. We have always used the clients investment personality to tailor our personalized approach to portfolio management and the frequency and form of client communications. Our clients feel their money has a job to do. Its our responsibility to put their money to work toward achieving their goals in a way that fits the emotional and rational sides of their investment personality. Overall, we have significantly stepped-up our face-to-face meetings.
16. Edward Stike, RBC Wealth Management -- Charleston, W. Va.
The financial crisis made me realize that, as an investor, you can choose to take more risk or less risk but you must take some. You can't eliminate risk. Risk is like matter, it is an inextricable part of investing. Risk, however, can be managed. The financial crisis made me realize that "proper" risk management is essential to your portfolio's health.
17. Joe Watson, Janney Montgomery Scott Mt. Laurel, N.J.
I entered the financial services industry in 1984. By 2008, I had lived through all types of markets. During the financial crisis of 2008, diversification and risk management were put to the test. The events of 2008 proved the importance of the following strategies:
- Be alert for bubbles in various asset classes.
- Be diversified and try to hedge your risks.
- Understand that in times similar to the Great Recession, multiple asset classes can get hit simultaneously.
- When a financial crisis happens, do your homework and formulate a position. Then communicate with your clients this is when your services are most needed.
- Have a written contingency plan, and adapt it as needed to the developing circumstances.
- Offer clients a three-part scenario: worst case, best case, and most likely. Your guidance should help bring clarity and order to the situation.
- Finally, its important to be a student of economic history. Bubbles and financial crises have been with us throughout time. Never underestimate their impact as we know there will be more in the future.
18. Ruth Kitzman, RBC Wealth Management -- Milwaukee, Wis.
The financial crisis five years ago truly should have reminded all of us how important it is to have our "house" in order. By "house" one could include debt, investments, diversification and risk tolerance to list a few items. Communication has been key. Staying in contact on a regular basis with clients is of utmost importance I believe. Talking to the clients once every five or more years just doesnt cut it for either party - the financial consultant or the client. It seemed to me, although the market was moving all over the place, the clients understood why the statements read the way they did. As a result, some needed to review their risk because talking about it and seeing it provided a bit more reality. It made things more "real" to the clients. It most certainly has made them more aware that the markets do move around and diversification is key within their risk level tolerance.
19. Robert Clark, Janney Montgomery Scott Danvers, Mass.
When bull markets last for longer periods, clients often believe they can tolerate more risk. Instead of worrying about their financial goals, they start tracking their portfolios relative to an index. Targeting an index such as the S&P 500 may seem smart when the market is rising, but I have yet to meet a person who is thrilled when the index is down 37% and theyre down only 36%. We spend a lot of time reminding clients that the purpose of investing is to fund the financial goals theyre trying to achieve: retirement, a vacation home, or a family legacy.
When the market is doing well, it makes sense for retired clients to set aside enough cash to cover spending for the next 2-4 years. That way, if a bear market then follows, they will likely have enough cash on hand to allow their equity investments to recover. We also remind clients that diversifying their investments for the long-term is critical to minimizing risk.
Finally, we have discretion in managing most accounts. This allows us to proactively make portfolio adjustments to the satisfaction of our clients in what can be deemed a fast-moving and emotional market. As always, communicating with clients is essential to helping them through market fluctuations, both good and bad. Were here for them through the ups and downs, to keep them anchored and focused on building and preserving their wealth.
20. Rhett Neuman, RBC Wealth Management -- Stillwater, Minn.
The financial crisis was a very emotional and stressful time to be an advisor. Having the financial livelihood of so many people in my hands brings with it great responsibility. We actually saw an uptick in "do-it yourselfers" coming to us for help as they were truly scared of what the markets had done to their portfolios. They realized having some guidance or a "teammate" now made sense.
The crisis made me re-think traditional strategic allocation. As my practice continued to expand with baby boomers and their need for generating retirement income, the question became: "Do I need to be more tactical in order to eliminate drawdowns of 35% or more in the equity portion of our portfolios?" Even our most consistent allocation models, typically a 60/40 split between equities and fixed income, had a hard time escaping a 20% drawdown in '08.
Client reviews were tough, to say the least, but most clients (with some persuasion) stayed the course. The message from most was "if we get close to where we were, I want to be more proactive or conservative going forward." In other words, "I don't want a buy and hold 'strategic' strategy. I want a 'tactical' strategy and I am willing to give up some of the upside if I can get to the sidelines when things get choppy." Our media has helped with this outlook and developed the new term: "The Risk Off or Risk On Trade."
With interest rates coming down, generating enough income to meet the goals of clients has become very difficult if one wants to stay in the fixed income (bond) world. It has forced many to look at alternatives for income generation. These alternatives may have more risk than traditional bond buyers are accustomed to.
The market of today feels so different than that of the past and we are evolving as advisors to adapt to this new change. I hope we're a long way away from another 2008, but fear the "running for the door" mentality that a hiccup in the market may cause.
21. Peter Princi, Morgan Stanley Wealth Management -- Boston, Mass.
The Financial crisis of 2008 taught us that building in downside protection and diversification for client portfolios is more than an academic exercise. We believe these principals are the foundation of asset management and a catalyst for more consistent long term performance. Our client communication focuses on the importance of understanding risk and how the correlation of asset classes impacts portfolios. Since 2008, the team has transitioned more client assets to a discretionary money management platform that allows us to be more nimble. In addition, we have enhanced our analytical capabilities with key hires including a CFA. Now as the US equity markets make new highs we are seeing clients appetites for risk begin to grow once again. We are getting ahead of it by reminding them of the events of 2008 and reiterating why they have their current investment strategy. Moreover, we speak to the dangers of allowing emotion into the investment process and focus our conversations on client's short and long term goals while continuing to educate them on how various events in the global economy affects their overall portfolio.
22. Alan Whitman, Morgan Stanley Wealth Management -- Pasadena, Calif.
The difficulties faced by the market in 2008 and early 2009 just reconfirmed for me what I have always known and that is if it looks too easy and good to be true it probably is too easy and good to be true. As we found, the pendulum can swing both ways. It reminded me of the need to keep expectations and goals realistic and to not get caught up in the excitement of the moment. We need to remember to keep leverage in check, maintain a good degree of liquidity and to take some of our unrealized profits off the table and realize them. It is so important to keep clients feet on the ground and make sure that they stay true to their goals and strategy and not let the moment carry them away. Our roles as advisors are never more important than when emotions rather than rational decision making drives the investment decisions and directions of our clients. Both the up and the down cycle of 2007, 08 and 09 proved that. That is when our clients need us the most and that is when he have to be there for them. Todays markets which thankfully are not exhibiting the same volatility and in many cases the irrationality of that time, still require our diligence and focus.

This cover was worth every penny. Great fit, nice material. My truck is stored indoors so no worry's about the weather, just dust etc.

Steve Whitfield
Lori-Ann Touchette
Beth Wood
Amy Brousseau
Stephanie Gabriel
Tina Hutchinson
Principal update:
The 3rd and 4th graders had a field trip to Merrill Auditorium to see a shortened version of the Nutcracker and then a behind the scenes look at the Nutcracker. They arrived back late but seemed to have a wonderful time. This field trip was paid by a grant for the tickets to the show and then the school had to pay for the buses.
There will be another round of Parent/Teacher Conferences in March but a time has yet to be determined.
Tina Hutchinson:
Tina is part of a group that have started an education supply that not only helps the teachers but also helps the students. Right now they have partnered with Photo Finish to assist with Santa Photos. For a $1 donation, the group will cut the pictures straight. So far has raised $250.00 already to help make this happen. Going to be meeting with staff next few weeks to get an idea of what they feel they need. Will be able to assist if class doing a project and John doesn't have a piece of it then they can purchase that item so he isn't left out. They have a facebook page: Lewiston Public Schools Parent and Staff. They are looking for volunteers to assist with the Santa photos at the Auburn Mall. Also looking to get the word out to help with donations and possible partnering with some businesses. They will also promote any event that the PTO is putting on. You can always contact Tina at email@example.com.
Treasure update:
Currently have $625.72 in account. We got a $100 donation from Rainbow Federal Credit Union. We also got a $50 gift card to Walmart and a $25 gift card to Hannaford that we will be using to get items for craft night. We are also trying to get a donation from Walmart Distribution.
Yearbook update:
Shutterfly is all set up.
Will be giving the password and username to teachers. If any parents would like to submit photos
that they have taken at events, please forward them to their child's
teacher. We will be sending a permission
slip home to students shortly with regards to allowing their child's picture in
the yearbook.
Apparel update:
A survey went out to students and they picked the new logo
for the shirts. It is a two week
turnaround between order being submitted and we receiving it. Will be putting an order form out in January
and a notice to parents later in December about the new apparel order being
sent out in January.
Raffle update:
We currently have sold $101 dollars in raffle tickets and have another envelope of returned tickets today that have yet to be counted.
Craft fair/craft night update:
The craft night was decided to be December 4th at the meeting in November.
Given the short time frame between the November meeting and the craft fair, Marnie and Stephanie have collaborated with the school and gotten some of the details worked out. Leftover decisions we need to make as a group:
Snacks: Kari P will bring Oreo snowballs, Marnie will bring cheese and crackers, Stephanie will bring two water coolers and popcorn, Beth will bring ice, Lori-Ann will bring carrot sticks, Jamie will bring pretzels.
Crafts: Amy is going to look to see if she has any green or red yard and also will be bringing some stamps to help with making cards. All the crafts we are using are on pinterest.
Power strips and extension cords are needed to assist with
tables. If you have any extra please
bring on Friday for Craft night/ craft fair.
Next meeting is January 5, 2016 at 6:30PM in the library

Science fiction cinema is now the most commercially successful genre in film.

Kampoeng Radja
Kampoeng Radja is the old spelling of "Kampung Raja." It's meaning would be something like The King's Village. Kampoeng Radja is a family amusement park on the west side of the City of Jambi. It is quite possibly the best maintained park in the city. The relative absence of litter, which is a common sight at most parks, was not seen. That in itself made the visit extremely enjoyable!

When small business owners become successful, they become a magnet for questionable deals and speculative investments. So says Bethesda, Md., planner Jeff Leventhal, who has developed a specialized practice serving entrepreneurs.
What happens when you become this successful entrepreneur is every cousin and relative calls and says, Ive got this great idea, says Leventhal, a planner with HighTower Advisors.
In response, Leventhal has developed an unusual way to protect his clients from losing money on speculative ventures: He listens to pitches from solicitors himself, so his clients dont have to. We vet all these outside business opportunities and nine times out of 10, there is a reason why they shouldnt be doing this.
The service takes a huge burden off clients shoulders, he says: One of the things they love the best is that [when they say no,] they can make us the bad guys.
Here are the steps he takes to protect clients:
- Guide clients to pick the percentage of assets that they want to allocate to very aggressive investments. Aim for between 2% or 5%, at the most, if the client is comfortable with risk.
- Coach clients to tell any solicitor that they have an existing process with their planner to evaluate business deals. Leventhal's clients urge the solicitor to send him all materials related to the proposition.
- When evaluating a pitch, determine whether the people asking for money have a written business plan for the business. If not, notes Leventhal, its probably not a serious venture.
- If you do get a business plan, look to see whether the owners are putting their own money into the venture. If not, thats another red flag, he says.
- If a venture has both of the above, then you can begin analyzing the underlying business proposition. Ask yourself if the owners have conducted enough research into their industry. Have they addressed the market leaders in their field? Have they credibly laid out how they will defeat them?
- If it's an industry you are unfamiliar with, bring in outside experts for analysis.
Most of the time, Leventhal reiterates, the deal doesn't pass muster. But occasionally, he says, he will support clients decisions to "loan" low amounts of around $25,000 to close family members or friends. But in those instances, he tells clients not to expect to see that money again.
Leventhal, who says hes worked with more than 200 entrepreneurial clients, say he often gets grateful calls three or four years after a pitch, and after the ventures in question have failed.

Situation Analysis and Problem Statement: Gene One
When faced with personal and/or organizational problems, the steps which one takes to solve these problems are crucial, and is a common act in one's everyday life. Problem solving skills help to determine the outcome of a situation but, more importantly, they will help to ensure that the real problem is identified. "Defining the right problem the right way is both the most difficult and the most critical step in problem solving" ("Defining the Problem: The Critical Step to Realizing Opportunities", http://mycampus.phoenix.edu, p.1). Using a step-by-step problem-solving process, not only will solutions be identified, but the "process also incorporates appreciative inquiry, which helps to reframe the problem into an opportunity and defines success in terms of the desired future end state and success factors ("Problem Solving Based Scenarios: An Approach to Identify Opportunities to Create Value for the Business", http://mycampus.phoenix.edu, p.1). Additionally, key stakeholders and their perspectives can also be identified. Throughout this paper I will use the nine step problem solving model in an effort to analyze Gene One, a biotech company that is looking to become a public entity within the next three years. Situation Background (Step 1)
During the problem-solving process it is important to identify both the challenges and opportunities when describing the situation. During step one of this model one should "describe the situation and provide an initial description of the issue or opportunity, which will become the basis for defining the "right" problem" ("Problem Solving Based Scenarios: An Approach to Identify Opportunities to Create Value for the Business", http://mycampus.phoenix.edu, p.1). Upon examining the Gene One scenario, it is apparent that there are several underlying situations that have led to the decision to go public and to proceed with the plan to secure Initial Public Offering (IPO) capital. Although Gene One has proven profitable over the last eight years, growing into a $400 million dollar company, Gene One is seeking to become a public entity. Gene One, which entered the biotech industry in 1996, did so with groundbreaking gene technology that helped to eliminate the need for the use of pesticides by farmers. Despite this however, Gene One has come to realize that in order to compete with demands and to reach their goal of a 40% yearly growth rate, they need to go public within the next three years. In order to be successful in these endeavors, Gene One's founder and CEO recognizes the importance of the companies IPO opportunity. Although it is the companies hope that implementing the IPO "will help Gene One realize its growth targets, establish the company as a strong competitor and show Wall Street the Gene One has the leadership and organizational capabilities to succeed as a public entity ("Scenario: Gene One Company Overview", http://mycampus.phoenix.edu, p.1), other members of the leadership team are not as confident in the sudden implementation of this plan.
Issue Identification
When reviewing the information provided by Gene One, there are many issues that need to be identified before one can effectively provide any type of resolution to this problem. The first issue is that if Gene One pursues the IPO, they will have to meet several requirements set forth by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOA). One requirement in particular involves the level of leadership among IPO Boards. Current regulations require that IPO Boards have not only independent directors, but that they have at least one board member who is serving as a CFO or a CPA. At this time, Gene One does not fully meet these requirements and changes in their board composition will need to be made in order for Gene One to move forward. Not only could this change prove time consuming, but company relations within this close knit company could also be...

Ex-All Blacks star hops from French to Japanese club
Former All Blacks fly-half Dan Carter has confirmed that he will leave Racing 92 for Japanese club Kobelco Steelers at the end of 2017-18 season.
Carter is reported to have agreed a two-year deal with the Steelers and in an interview with Canal Plus announced he would move on.
"It's been a very tough decision, to leave my new friends and all my team-mates and go play for Kobe Steelers," said the World Cup winner.
"But Japan is a very exciting place to be right now, and an exciting place to play.
"It's also only one flight away from New Zealand and the way the Japanese season is structured means I and my family will be able to spend much more time in New Zealand.
"Rugby is going crazy in Japan and this is a very exciting challenge."
He added: "Now that my mind is made up I'm determined to get over this knee injury because we want to win the Top 14 and we want to win in Europe too.
"I hope to be playing again soon."

Some know Hoyt Axton as the Dad from the movies Gremlins and Black Stallion or maybe as Jennifer's friend on WKRP in Cincinnati. But this platinum recording artist had his biggest success as a singer. He has had success as a songwriter, including Three Dog Night's biggest hit, Joy To the World. And Steppenwolf's Snowblind Friend.
From his 1963 release Thunder 'N Lightnin' this is Hoyt Axton's haunting version of House Of The Rising Sun.
Recorded in 1964 by The Animals, their version is considered one of the best rock and roll songs of all time, but the song was not written by The Animals.
Covered at least 80 times by the likes of Woody Guthrie, Frankie Lane, Bob Dylan and Joan Baez, not to mention Axton, the origin of House Of The Rising Sun is unknown. The first known recording dates from 1933 but this folk ballad may have originated in the late 18th century.
|Hoyt Axton, Joan Baez, Arlo Guthrie c. 1963

Entrants had to prepare, design and photograph a hairstyle to enter the competition. The judges then selected only twenty designs out of all of the national entrants to attend the finals. Former Oasis Academy High School pupil, Stephanie, was selected to attend the finals, held at the Heart of England Conference Centre in Warwickshire. When asked what inspired her style, Stephanie commented: "I was inspired the most by the summer seasons colour trends of coppers and reds. Also different sunset colours gave me the image idea. I created a smooth straight finish to highlight the selected colours". Entering competitions during your studies is a great way to help improve your skill, gain experience and to meet other students studying on similar courses. A special thank you goes to Photography student Catherine Burgess for taking the image supplied for the competition.

Hunting in Fiordland
April 24, 2016 | Posted By: steve | Uncategorized |
We recently embarked on a much anticipated trip to Fiordland hunting Red Stags in the roar. Sadly it was a very quiet excursion with no roaring going on. Only managed a few pictures to prove we were actually there.
We had been in this same location a few years ago and heard a number of Stags and came across a reasonable amount of sign. Not the case this time with virtually no sign.
As we all know it has been unseasonably warm and if we were looking for some sort of excuse then that one fitted perfectly. From what I have heard it seemed like this was the case for more than a few hunters this year!

Here Are 7 Islands In Rhode Island That Are An Absolute Must Visit
To those less skilled at geography, Rhode Island is assumed to be an island all on its own. While this is definitely not the case, there are several breathtakingly beautiful islands to visit along the smallest state's brilliant coast. While some offer beautiful nature trails, others buzz with history and nightlife, and yet others still offer charming summer communities and lighthouses to gaze upon. Here are 7 islands in Rhode Island that are definitely worth visiting!
What is your favorite island memory in Rhode Island?

6.00pm – 10.00pm
31 Amy Johnson Place
Eagle Farm QLD
Click here for more information
Includes complimentary champagne on entry
This is going to be the best event ever!
Text in the about section should be things like, why would someone want to attend. For example, attending the Events World Cup is a great competition where you will see the best events people compete to create the best event ever.
Also include any features to the event and benefits for attendees or maybe some history about the event. Other than that this is really just filler text so whatever you think people might want to read here is good but I would recommend to keep it relatively short so about two paragraphs should be good.

The children have been interested in the different people who help us in our community. They looked at a range of people including, those that work for the air ambulance and mountain rescue services as well as life guards and the dentist. They were particularly interested in the Emergency Services. The children role-played calling the emergency telephone number 999. They asked the operator for either, the Police, an Ambulance or the Fire Brigade. They remembered to tell the operator where they lived and what the problem was.
Today the Fire Service came to visit!
They let us look at all of the equipment that they used when attending an emergency. Some of the tools were so heavy; we could not pick them up. We had lots of questions and the Firemen could answer all of them.We even got the chance to try out the Fireman's hose to squirt water, it was difficult to hold. Next, we looked inside the fire engine.
Orla tried on the fireman's helmet. She said, "It's very heavy." Ted told her, "It protects the fireman's head in case anything falls on him."
We cheered as the firemen sounded their sirens as they left!!
All afternoon the children were heard shouting:
Get out!
Stay out!
Get the fire brigade out!
The Firemen will be very proud that we have remembered the rhyme. They say it may help us in a real emergency.

Artist as Administrator
Posted by Aug 08, 2017 0 comments
Visiting a retrospective exhibition of the art and film of Robin Lloyd and Doreen Kraft reminded me of how many arts administrators are also artists in our community. I found this collaborative installation especially interesting because it affords a glimpse of the artistic side of Doreen Kraft, who most of us know as the director of Burlington City Arts.
Other local artist administrators include Janie Cohen, head of the Fleming Museum, who's a fabric artist; Sara Katz, assistant director of Burlington City Arts and an abstract painter; and Rachel Moore, executive director at Helen Day Art Center and a sculptor. I, too, am an artist, dancing in my twenties before turning to filmmaking and writing.
When I was younger, I worried that people in the workplace might take me less seriously if they knew I was a practicing artist. Then, in the '90s, Harvard Film Archives screened a film of mine and someone in the audience asked if anyone ever confused me with the John Killacky who was a curator at Walker Art Center. This time, I worried that having a day job might undermine my credibility as an artist, so I laughed and said, "No." Eventually, I integrated my personas and today remain grateful for the artistic discipline and training that informs my running of the Flynn Center.
Artists have certain advantages, particularly with the never-ending aspiration to improve. While building upon technique and experience, curiosity leads artists to explore new horizons. I often tell employees, "We're hired for what we know, but our job is to learn what we don't know."
Another valuable workplace lesson is that if something's working, artists try to make it even better. If it's not working, they try something else. Merely doing the same thing repeatedly isn't always productive. Resiliency and adaptability are central to an artist's process and crucial for an organization's sustainability.
Art is oftentimes a collaborative process and teamwork is essential. As a filmmaker, I found this to be true. With my writing, editors improve my efforts immeasurably. Moreover, when dancing, I learned to work as a soloist and as part of an ensemble. At the Flynn Center, vexing problems are best tackled from multiple perspectives with all stakeholders involved.
Finally, whenever interviewing for an open position, I inquire about artistic backgrounds. Then, if all things are equal, I hire the artist.
Editor's note: This commentary by John R. Killacky, executive director of the Flynn Center for the Performing Arts in Burlington, first aired on Vermont Public Radio.
John R. Killacky is a member of Americans for the Arts.

Prior to getting hurt, Nikitin had played in eight games for the Oilers. He had a goal and two assists. Last season, he played 66 games for the Columbus Blue Jackets. He scored two goals and added 13 assists.
Nikitin's return comes at a good time for the Oilers, as defenseman Andrew Ference was just suspended for three games.
In his return, he finished with 21:12 TOI, two shots on goal, and a blocked shot.
Viktor Fasth played in his third game of the season. He stopped 21 of 25 shots in a 4-1 loss. His record on the season is now 0-2-1, with a 4.70 GAA and a .861 save percentage.

Got a success story of your own? Send it to us at email@example.com and you could be featured in our I Lost Weight series!
Name: Jamie Corbin
Age: 26
Height: 5'3"
Before Weight: 210 pounds
How I Gained It: I have always been overweight. Shortly after getting married at 22 I found out I was pregnant with my son. I gained 40 pounds during this pregnancy and was up to 210 pounds. It was so depressing for me to go to the store and buy size 19 jeans and an XXL shirt.
I ate fast food all the time. It was not unusual for me to go to McDonald's and order a Big Mac, Large Fries, Soda/Pop and a Cinnamon Bun with extra butter on the side and a side of Ranch Dressing to dip my fries in. I always ordered "extra" on the side for most of everything I would eat. I loved chicken wings, french fries -- anything that could be fried. I would always have seconds, sometimes thirds. I am embarrassed now that I used to eat like that.
Two years after my son was born I found out I was pregnant with my daughter. Thankfully, I didn't gain much during that pregnancy and actually lost some, but after her birth in May 2012 I was still close to the 210-pound mark.
Breaking Point: I had no energy to play with my son, and the pictures of me from the hospital made me cringe.
How I Lost It: After I got the okay from my obstetrician, I decided to try working out. I started with researching everything and anything I could find on weight loss and healthy eating. I made the choice to become a vegetarian, which was not hard for me since I had given up pork a few years earlier. I also started the Jillian Michaels 30-Day Shred. It was so hard, but I completed the whole 30 days. The weight was coming off a pound to two pounds a week.
I decided I wanted to try running and used my treadmill to finish the Couch to 5K running plan. At first, I could hardly run a minute without needing a break. I did my first 5K in October 2012 with my uncle by my side cheering me on. I finished in 31 minutes, and I couldn't have been happier.
I have done so many 5Ks since that first one in October 2012 and have got my time down to a little over 24 minutes. I finished a 10K in July 2013 and just did my first half marathon in December 2013. This year I am hoping to do a full marathon in the fall!
After Weight: 130 pounds
The Huffington Post publishes photographs as they are submitted to us by our readers.

We are a very friendly family and easy going. We are searching for someone to be with us for the long term. Looking to start immediately. Pay is negotiable.

The fact is, our Elevation community is led by a large number of gifted people who generously give of their time and abilities to serve the church. At the same time, we're often asked about who is actually on "Staff," so here are some names and faces to help you out:
Helen Kroeker, Administrative Manager
Helen is affectionately referred to as our 'office guru' where she is the primary contact person in our office and a source of practical assistance and encouragement for people in our church community. She also prepares the program each week, but isn't keen on having minor typos pointed out…just so you know.
Sharon Leage, Children's Ministry Director
Sharon's passion for helping our youngest members grow in faith is expressed in her leadership of our Kids' Quest program, where she works with parents and teachers to create an inspiring environment on Sunday mornings. She is also British, so if you like accents, just ask her a question.
Brandon Malo, Senior Pastor
Brandon provides spiritual leadership and visionary direction for the church. He is the primary teacher on Sunday mornings and also connects pastorally with members of our congregation, guides the Staff, and chairs the Steering Committee. And since he wrote these staff bios, he doesn't get a witty comment.
George Werner
George has joined our Staff team to invest in ministry leaders and help develop the teams they lead. He will help those who are new to our community find their place, and will be a catalyst in helping the vision of our church come to fruition. George enjoys long-distance cycling, but has a bit of a reputation for crashing from time to time.
Graham Watson, Youth Pastor
Graham is the fearless leader of our growing Youth group. Every week, he works with a fabulous team of leaders to create a positive environment where our Youth can gather, build friendships, and grow in faith. Graham is still a student himself, doing a Masters of Theological Studies at Conrad Grebel. Some people think he looks tired, but don't worry, he's not.
Steering Committee
In addition to our Staff team, Elevation is led by a Steering Committee, which is also known as our Board of Directors. The current members of this senior leadership team are: Trevor Shantz, Melissa Malo, Karl Gingerich, Chad Lebold, Phil Thompson, and Susan Fish, with Brandon Malo serving as Chair.
Information about our Steering Committee's structure and governance can be found here:

Just after the second hack night, Tim was temporarily staying at my house for a while, and one evening just happened to be working on some embedded PIC stuff.
He was writing a system to serve an image over a simple web server that was running on the chip itself. Now, I'm not too familiar with embedded C, but my skills as an application developer were still useful that evening!
In order to work with an image on a system with no filesystem, or indeed kernel, the binary data of the image file (in this case it was a jpeg) needed to be entered into an array of bytes within the C source code, a bit like the example shown here:
unsigned byte data[] = {0x3C,0x3F,0x78,0x6D...};
Tim approached me to create a Windows tool that could automate this, and so I opened up Lazarus and got coding! In a few minutes I had a solution (at the time we named it TimHex). After a few more minutes of optimisation, the finished utility worked pretty well, and we were able to serve images up from the PIC.
So why this blog post? Well, in the last week or so I resurrected TimHex, renamed it, tidied it up, made it cross-platform and open sourced it. The result of all this hard work is Hexy, which can be found on my GitHub page.
Feel free to have a look and post comments.
I already have some plans for future changes to it, including a command-line only interface and configurable outputs. I hope to be able to continue working on it in my spare time.
