For generations, eyes are believed to be the window of the soul. But the irony of the modern age is that dark circles under the eyes have become one of the commonest beauty problems that we grieve for. In this age of stress, tiredness, less hours of sound sleep, exposure to excessive pollution, intake of nutrient-deficient food, lifestyle disorders, etc. the delicacy of eyes gets easily damaged since the skin around the eyes is very thin. Darkness or puffiness around the eyes is not a grave disorder which leads to a painful condition, rather, the pain it causes is more platonic in nature. Dark circles can extract all the charm away from your face making you look more tired, diseased and aged. Certainly, dark circles are something to blame for. While using cosmetics and creams can be an easy solution in short run, they can make you land to greater number of problems in long run. Unquestionably, natural remedies are the best solutions. Hence, we have got here 8 natural remedies, simple kitchen ingredients, which can help to treat and dispose dark circles very effectively.
Here Are The 8 Home Remedies For Treating Dark Circles:
Power-Pack Potatoes
Potato contains compounds and anti-oxidants which act as bleaching agents and help in reducing the darkness around the eyes. Simply cover your eyes with the slices of potato for about 30 minutes. Follow this at least 4-5 times a week. For enhanced action, you may first refrigerate the potatoes, and then apply the juice of these cold potatoes around the eyes. Wash it off with cold water after 30 minutes.
Cooling Cucumber
Just like the potatoes, cucumbers are also one of the popular home remedy for treating dark circles. Cucumbers also contain bleaching properties and help in improving blood circulation. This induces lightening of skin around eyes while providing a soothing effect. Slice the cucumber and place them on eyes to savor a cooling effect on eyes. Or alternatively, extract the juice from cucumber by grinding it. Apply this juice around the eyes for half an hour before washing it off with water. Since cucumber contains 95% water content, it will have great moisturizing impact on eyes. You may also combine cucumber juice with other bleaching agents such as potato juice or lemon juice. So, now you know why the beauty parlors use the cucumber slices while pampering your facials (winks).
Effective Tomatoes
In addition to being an effective bleaching agent, tomatoes are rich in nutrients such as Vitamin A, Vitamin B and Vitamin C, Iron, Potassium, Phosphorus, Sulphur and Calcium. This makes tomatoes a potential weapon against the dreading dark circles. Crush tomatoes to make a consistent puree, and apply it around eyes for 15 to 20 minutes before washing it off with water. You may also wish to add some turmeric powder and/or lemon juice and/or gram flour to gain an extra revitalizing effect for eyes.
Treatment With Tea
While tea may be your vital part of life to kick start your mornings and evenings, did you know that tea is equally powerful remedy in treating dark circles? Surprisingly, yes. Tea contains caffeine and tannins which reduces discoloration and allows water retention around the eyes, thus reducing the puffiness. After preparing your tea, put the used tea-bags in the refrigerator and allow it to cool. Put these cooled tea-bags on your eyes for 15 to 20 minutes. You may choose green tea or black tea, as per your choice. Follow this treatment regularly and discover the disappearing dark circles soon.
Almond Oil
Almond oil is a natural smoothening agent which makes it an incredible solution to the dark circles. Almond oil also contains Vitamin K which helps in contracting dilated blood vessels around the eyes. This reduces puffiness, provides lightening impact on the skin tone, as well as reduces fine lines or wrinkles around eyes. Simply massage the almond oil around your eyes before going to bed. Next morning, wash off with water. Almond oil should be applied daily till the desired results are obtained.
Rejuvenating Rose Water
Beauty experts are not alien to the merits of rose water. Rose water contains antiseptic and anti-bacterial properties which fights against the odds of dust, puffiness and darkness around the eyes and provides refreshing effect to eyes. Rose water can be easily availed from the markets. Simply soak cotton eye pads in the cold rose water and apply them on closed eyelids for about 15 to 20 minutes. For best results, rose water should be applied twice a day. You may also add few drops of cold milk to the rose water.
Lightening Lemon Juice
Lemon Juice contains rich extracts of Vitamin C which makes it a powerful bleaching agent. Squeeze out juice from fresh lemon and apply around eyes using a cotton ball. Wash off with water after 10 to 15 minutes. The lightening impact of skin shall leave you amazed. Only problem with lemon juice is that it may cause burning sensation to sensitive skin, in that case, avoid applying again.
Soothing Mint
You might be using mint often for adding that much required cooling flavor to your food and as refreshments after dinner. But did you ever know that mint is renowned for having antibacterial, antimicrobial, antiseptic and astringent properties in abundance, which makes it a valuable remedy against dark circles. Simply crush the mint leaves and form a thick paste. You may add few drops of lemon juice to it. Apply this paste on the dark circles for 25 to 30 minutes and wash off with water. The relieving and soothing effect that mint will bring to eyes shall be nothing less than heavenly.
The above given are some of the useful remedies for curing dark circles, but in certain cases, dark circles may be due to genetic factors, and hence complete reduction of darkness may not be achievable. In addition to using these remedies, it is highly recommended to take adequate sleep of at least 8 hours on daily basis and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. So, go ahead and try these remedies, make sure you don't hurt your eyes! The lost charm shall be back again, and remember, beauty only lies in the eyes of the beholder.

On a relaxing Saturday mid-afternoon, people walking on the streets of San Francisco might not notice this car as anything special. Sure, it's older than other models that surround it, but at the end of the day it's just another car.
To a car spotter, however, a process begins. Also, if this particular car spotter is with a group of friends, the process starts with pleas for 5-10 minutes of patience and understanding (and perhaps standing in the middle of a busy urban thoroughfare).
The first step is recognizing what this 3,500lb hunk of mobile steel is. Then the questioning begins: Why do I think this car is significant? What is the story of this car? What is its historical context? How did it come to be in the path of my daily life? These questions are followed by documentation of the car, to share with others.
In order to understand why people participate in car spotting, it's necessary to contemplate what is the "art" of the car. One of my personal beliefs is that automobiles are rolling sculptures that have captured the imagination of the American public for decades. To me, the story of the decisions that led to certain cars becoming production models is equally as important as the story behind who purchased the model, and their relationship to that purchase. After housing, personal transportation is the next big ticket item most American adults purchase. Subconsciously or not, a lot of emotion goes into that decision.
So while most people might not give this 1962 Plymouth Fury Sedan a blink of the eye, a car spotter goes through a process, similar to Performing Arts Workshop's Cycle of Artistic Inquiry:
- "Wow, is that really a 1962 Plymouth Fury? I don't think I've ever seen one of those in real life!"
(Perception: Why are some stories riveting while others are not?)
- "Not surprising, since Plymouth sold about 50,000 Furys total in 1962, compared to Chevrolet's 800,000 Impalas."
(Conception forms when students actively respond (in action or thought) to the details of specific questions.)
- "Hey everyone, give me 5 minutes, you just don't see these 'in the wild' anymore. I wonder what the story is on who owns this…"
Out comes my camera of choice, which is usually my cellphone, and I try my best, to not get injured in traffic while at the same time, getting detail shots of what makes this particular car so interesting. My favorite detail of this Plymouth is the eye trick the dual headlamp beams play on you. The inboard lamps look smaller, even though they are the same size as the outboard ones.(Expression challenges students to make increasingly detailed selections as they begin the process.)
- There are always inevitable questions from the audience that gathers during a random outburst of automotive love. Usually the questions begin with, "What was that?" and, "Why did you want to take pictures of that car?"
(Reflection challenges the audience to consider the intentions behind student's work.)
- When all is said and done, I obsess over the little details: "Did I present this car in the best way. Does this car deserve more of a story? What story would that be? Maybe I'll try finding it again next time I'm in this neighborhood."
(Re-vision requires students to add more revealing details about a scene.)
As you can see, car spotting is more than just taking a few simple pictures of some old car. Like any art form, it depends on a critical thinking process in order to produce meaningful results.
If you'd like a more straightforward description of how the CAI plays out in Workshop classrooms, check out our documents as they relate to each art form.

Powerball winners have a big decision to make once they win the jackpot. They have 60 days to opt to receive their winnings in 30 annual payments over 29 years or to take a reduced cash lump sum, which represents the money available at the time the jackpot is won. The annuity amount is the value of the lump sum after 29 years of investment. Both options are liable for tax and choosing which method is preferable to you is entirely down to your personal circumstances, although the cash option has proven far more popular with players in recent years.
Here are the points in favor of each.
You should always take expert advice before making such a big decision, as this is a complex issue. Some careful thought early on could help you live your life as a new millionaire to the fullest without worrying about the money running out prematurely!

Autogas To Start Trial With Converted Diesel Taxi To New Petrol/Gas In London.
4 comments:
We had three of the cabs at Dial-a-Cab last week with drivers speaking to Autogas and test driving the cabs. 120 turned up in the 5 hours with most saying the converted cabs were wonderful and far better than the originals, The PR was also behind because the test cab is substantially through the 10,000 miles and they are confident that it will be passed within a few months. What was impressive was that the conversion involved a brand new Opal petrol engine rather than a revamped old one...
In reference to what allan fisher said This techology,including the additional 5 year extension to the life of the cab, is nothing new. It was developed by Gastech UK, and has beeen available for the TX2, for the past 3 years inlondon and the greater UK. And can be purchased through gastech's representative, Battersea Autogas.
This system is currently the only TFL approved LPG engine powered Cab and has done and passed the 10,000 miles durability trial. The difference is that the Gastech system has maintained the TX2's original Mechanical Integrity By useing a brand new current spec ford Duratorque motor (not Refurbished). Which is 2.4 litre and manufactured specifically as a LPG Engine, not a petol engine with an add on Gas Kit. By using the original 2.4 litre instead of a 2 litre engine gastech have been able to match all the additional power and torque figures required by the by the TX2 transmission to maintain its smooth operation.
Gastech's TX2 passed Euro 6 with figure 60% better than the required standard. With the nox reduction being the standout, which was in excess of 85% better than the diesel TX4.
So for more information give Claudio at battersea Autogas a call +44 20 8871 2233
Why only 5 years more??
Doesn't seem fair.
And why can't we have brand new tx's with LPG.
A question for the orgs😩
I suppose hey are on this 😂😂😂
- Stanley Roth said...
Paul Black Cab In the 2003 review of the Conditions of Fitness is stated that there would a 15 year age limit reducing to 12 years except for LPG taxis. However when the age limit came in I was told it covered all cabs. So I pointed out that LPG cabs were exempt John Mason said no. However the best I could get was 5 years extra. I have test driven 2 LTI gas cabs one was CNG (Methane) FX4 and the other was a TXl LPG ford petrol engine. LT! have staated in the pass they would build LPG taxis! I am still waiting

Seattle – A new life in bloom
Many of you know or have heard whispers of my permanent move to Seattle in Spring of last year on Facebook or Twitter. I've been in Seattle (Edmonds) for just over a year now. It's hard to believe I left Austin, TX and have been in "Emerald City" over a year already. It's no joke, life gets busy, time flies . . . and things fall by the wayside.
I moved to the Seattle area to take a promotion to a project manager position on Whole Foods Store Development Team in the Seattle, WA area. It's a move back to the work I was doing before coming on board with Whole Foods just over four years ago. I have to say it's been a stressful year (my house is not completely un-packed; e.g. garage is full of storage boxes) with relocating my life across the country, but it's also been a ton of fun and a growth period for me as well.
I like to be the best at what I do, and now approaching 46 years old, I also know there has to be balance where this is concerned. I have many interests in my life outside of my job, this blog being a major one. I'm also a working artist and a part-time student at Harvard. So balancing my schedule is tough and I'm even tougher (sometimes brutal) on myself when I don't make personal deadlines or do as well as I think I should. Friends and Co-workers say to me routinely "I don't know how you find the time to do everything you do". I always joke "I'm not married and I don't have kids," so that's how I find the time. But as I'm getting older, my priorities are shifting, which was part of why I moved to the Seattle area.
Why am I sharing all of this? Life is short and I'm refocused on the blog and making time where the things I really enjoy. I'm so incredibly grateful for the success I've had with my blog and the partnerships it's provided. Who would have every guessed one of my recipes would be featured on Today.com? I'm grateful for the time I spent in Austin, TX and the food community that were really good to me and were the foundation for what is Blinded by the Bite! blossomed. I cannot say thank you enough to everyone in the Austin food community who embraced me.
Chef's and PR companies who welcomed me into their restaurants and events. Farmers who invited me out to come work in the fields or just hang out on the farm. The Austin Food Blogger Alliance – this small group started thanks to Addie Broyles with potlucks. I attended my first in 2008 and now AFBA is a registered non-profit that gives back to the food community. Edible Austin – Thank you to Marla & Jenna for allowing me to be part of your food magazine. It was a pleasure for the short time I got to be part of the magic that is Edible Austin. I will never forget getting to sit next to Amanda Hesser and Paula Disbrow at one of the many fabulous events the two of you have.
Austin FOOD + WINE Festival gave me four amazing years of awesome interviews, delicious food, sumptuous cocktails and fun, fun, fun! Christina Grdovic & Sarah Abell, thank you for always being so gracious and kind to me, giving me such great access each year.
Keeper Collection – where do I start with Diane and her team? From weekly #SOMMCHAT's to "The Wine Ride" thank you for being so good to me and always including me. Our dinner during Foreign & Domestic's #IndieChefsWeek just after my grandmother passed away I will never forget Diane.
West Elm Austin for partnering me on a Thanksgiving story for KitchenAid's Blog "Kitchenthusiast" and an in-store DIY event. For all my foodie and non-foodie friends – there are too many to list but know I cannot thank you enough and miss you all deeply. Being welcomed home by friends who want to take you to the newest Austin restaurant really is what makes coming home to Austin so sweet. To The Daily Meal Team – I cannot say thanks enough for the fun and opportunities provided to me. I enjoy writing about food and travel!
My hopes are to find this same community here in Seattle, WA. I've got a head start being I've spent the last two-year prior to my move visiting Seattle for work/pleasure. I have several friends here that are also part of the thriving food community in and around Seattle. I have friends in Austin (Valerie Broussard) who have introduced me to restaurants, farmers and new friends here in Seattle. Now that I am finally getting settled in and have found my grove with the new job, I will be able to find the time to take a deep dive into the food community and circle back with some of the fabulous contacts I've met here at events. Book Larder is a gem I've discovered thanks to my friends Annelies Zijderveld (author of "Steeped") and Jeanne Sauvage (author of "Gluten-Free Wish List" and "Gluten-Free Baking for the Holidays") who have both had book signings and demo's at the space. I still miss Metier Austin, but Jessica said they'll ship goodies to me here in Seattle (thank you Jessica Maher).
School starts back up again for me full-time in September at Harvard. I took the spring and summer off from classes at Harvard much to my chagrin, especially since I wanted into a food writing class that was offered this past semester. Ultimately the timing didn't work out, but the class is going to be offered again this coming fall so it's on my radar and I'm on the professors radar.
In my recent explorations in and around Seattle, I found Gage Academy of Art. I haven't been painting at my usual pace for the last eight years. I just haven't been feeling it to be honest. I did show at the Arthouse of the Jones Center (which is now The Contemporary Austin) and Dunn and Brown Contemporary (now Talley Dunn Gallery) as part of the annual FIVE X SEVEN exhibit. I stumbled upon Gage actually on my way to find a church that overlooks downtown Seattle. I like to think it was divine intervention or the universe giving me a swift kick in the ass telling me it's time to pick up my brushes and put some paint on a canvas.
Life is good. I'm being fed well here in Seattle and I've been traveling to Canada on the regular. I 'm grateful for those in my life and where this new journey is taking me. I hope you will continue along for the ride!

The biggest news to come out of Microsoft's E3 press conference was almost certainly the reveal of their new console, but it also delivered exactly what fans watching have always asked for above all else; games, games and more games.
So much so that their impressive new console almost took a back seat. From highly anticipated trailers to completely new reveals, Microsoft went all out to impress.
If you've yet to catch up on the big presentation, here are 8 of the biggest highlights.
- Xbox One X Specs revealed
After teasing project Scorpio last year, Microsoft finally unveiled their new powerhouse console as the Xbox One X – an overpowered, native 4K console that will hit the shelves this year for $499 on 7th November 2017.
We also got a better look at the hardware, and confirmation that the new machine would be more powerful than its rival the PS4 Pro. Xbox One X will have 6 teraflops of graphical power, a custom 1172MHz GPU engine, 1TB hard drive and an Ultra HD Blu-ray drive.
Pitched as the most powerful console in the world, X specs look downright impressive, but it comes with a hefty price tag.
- Forza Motorsport 7 4K Looks Stunning
To show off the power of their new machine, Microsoft kicked off the flurry of game trailers with a look at Forza Motorsport 7 – which runs impeccably on Xbox One X in native 4k at 60fps.
The release date was also revealed as 3rd October 2017 for Xbox One and PC, but strangely the game won't reach X owners until "Holiday 2017" so its unclear if this will be available when the console launches on 7th November.
- Assassin's Creed: Origins Finally gets a Trailer
Ubisoft's worst kept secret (and that's saying something) is finally officially confirmed – Assasin's Creed will return this year set in ancient Egypt.
The trailer and gameplay previews show of a well-polished chapter of the popular franchise, with a world that looks bigger and more alive than ever.
The game launches on 27th October for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC – and will be one of the first big games to really show off the power of the Xbox One X on November 7th.
- Microsoft Have Exclusives
Microsoft's strongest hand was perhaps the influx of console (and in some cases Windows 10*) exclusives. Whilst the lineup arguably still lacks the big, console-selling titles like Sony's Horizon Zero Dawn or Nintendo's Breath of the Wild, it's great to see the presentation emphasise some exclusivity gems.
The following games were featured in the presentation as Microsoft exclusives;
- The Artful Escape of Francis Vendetti
- Ashen
- Black Desert
- Crackdown 3*
- Cuphead*
- The Darwin Experiment
- Deep Rock Galactic
- Forza Motorsport 7*
- The Last Night
- Ori and the Will of the Wisps*
- Battlegrounds
- Sea of Thieves*
- State of Decay 2*
- Tale*
- Tacoma
We also got a look at some highly anticipated non-exclusive games, including the new Metro Exodus, a Life is Strange prequel, Dragon Ball Fighter Z and a look at the Shadow of Mordor sequel, Middle-Earth: Shadow of War.
- Backwards Compatibility Expanded
A strong highlight for nostalgic gamers, Microsoft announced original Xbox games would soon be playable on Xbox One.
After releasing Xbox 360 backwards compatibility last year, the range will soon expand to include early classics, with Crimson Skies confirmed as one of the first games planned for the new collection.
- Multi-Platform Minecraft
An unlikely bombshell came in the form of a Minecraft server update. Microsoft's exceptionally popular sandbox will now have seamless cross-functionality across all platforms.
Currently there are several versions of the game running on PC, along with the console and mobile versions. The update means Xbox players can easily play with IPad users, or Nintendo Switch owners, or even VR players.
So far there is an ominous cloud over whether this extends to Sony platforms, but Microsoft have stated their vision is to connect all versions of the game.
- A closer look at BioWare's Anthem
Microsoft ended their show with a glipse of BioWare's brand new IP, Anthem.
The game was teased a day earlier at EA Play, but Microsoft's E3 press conference was the first real look at the game and even showed it running on Xbox One. Anthem is an incredibly ambitious open-world, multiplayer that follows exosuit-wearing explorers through a dynamic, sci-fi setting.
The game is set to launch in 2018.

Recently, a mommy from the Born to Wear Diamonds Facebook page asked me if she should have maternity photos taken. She's feelin' a bit on the "way prego" side but she does not want to "regret" not having them taken.
My answer to her, DEFINITELY GET THE PICTURES TAKEN!! You will regret not having them done!!
If you haven't noticed, I'm a bit of a photo-taking/flash-in-your face/capture the moment mommy. I probably take at least one - two pictures of Sophia per day. She knows how to work the camera and most of the time, she doesn't mind!
I also told that mommy that the key to feeling "great" during the shoot is to make sure you're wearing a comfortable outfit and throw on those accessories!
Typically, maternity photos are taken in your 31-34ish weeks of pregnancy. I had mine taken at 31 weeks.
Of course, I was on Pinterest 24/7 searching for photo ideas. I fell in love with this one,
and this too!
I showed these images to our friend who is an amazing photographer, Gary, from Christine Studios (Congrats to him for the newest addition to his family, Logan James!) and he was able to incorporate these ideas into the shoot. Take a look!
|Love, Love, Love!!
I always try to incorporate our interests and personalities into anything/everything. Since Andrew has his own DJ company, Enriquez Entertainment, we had to incorporate his love for music.
|Sophia was boppin' to the beats!
Of course, my pride and joy needed to be included, Louie!
(Obviously, pre-Sophia)
|Louis Vuitton <3
Plus the pictures were taken at our home
|Outside our home in the apple orchard
|Taken in Sophia's room
Speaking of getting pictures taken, we are in the process of finding a photographer to photograph Sophia's first birthday photos and cake smash. Between Andrew and I, we contacted at least six photographers in the area. We just about narrowed it down; we only have 25 days until the big O-N-E! OMG, deep breaths!
|A little inspiration.. so stinkin' cute!

Saga Investment Services Budget reactionWednesday 16 March 2016
Once again, this is a Budget for savers Gareth Shaw, head of consumer affairs at Saga Investment Services, said:
Once again, this is a Budget for savers
Gareth Shaw, head of consumer affairs at Saga Investment Services, said:
"The Chancellor has once again turbo-charged the savings industry with radical changes. The increase in the ISA allowance, and the introduction of the Lifetime ISA are two in a long line of changes to savings that should bolster Britain's savings culture.
"The Lifetime ISA offers the perfect vehicle for generations to save – for those who want to help their children save for retirement or get onto the property ladder, there's a product that people understand and trust. The ability to envelop existing ISA products can help those who are already saving, and will offer an incentive for those not doing so. This may, however, impact on the success of the Government's auto-enrolment scheme – if younger savers have a more flexible savings option, there is a risk that many more will opt out of saving into a pension. This may benefit the Treasury, but could undermine confidence in the Government's flagship pensions project.
"Older savers should not feel hard done by being excluded from this new deal. The cut in capital gains tax – from 28% to 20% for higher-rate and additional-rate taxpayers and 18% to 10% for basic-rate taxpayers - along with a £5,000 tax-free allowance on dividend income and up to £1,000 tax-free savings interest can help them keep more of their money. Around 12 million over 50s own an ISA, and the £20,000 allowance will be welcomed."
"For people to properly plan their retirement, and ensure they have enough money so as not to be a burden on the state, they need the confidence and reassurance that their pension plans won't be wrecked by continuous change. The Chancellor has done the right thing by not taking the opportunity to raid the nation's pension piggy bank, and used the Budget to embolden people to save more for their retirement."
"The ability for people to get early access to their savings to pay for advice, along with a firm commitment to a pensions dashboard is to be welcome. And the government has taken a sensible step by excluding pension contributions from salary sacrifice, as well as leaving the annual and lifetime allowances alone."
"However, that doesn't mean that further reform to tax relief on pensions in completely off the table. We'll have to wait until after the Referendum to see if the Chancellor will act to reduce the high cost of providing tax relief."

How Can A Person Become Alert, Ready As Well As Reactive On The Road
As we all know, there are quite a number of things that can possibly happen when you are on the road that is why, have you ever try asking yourself if you are always alert and ready to react to sudden circumstances that happens? The answer that is commonly shared by many of us when it comes to the said matter at hand is a disappointing no, and this answer may actually lead them to a more disastrous experience which may end them up getting caught in traffic and vehicular accidents. It is of absolute importance on your end to always see to it that you are fully alert and ready while you are on the road as this is the only way for you to keep your safety and security while traveling in a busy street and also, being alert and ready means that you are avoiding yourself from facing any forms of danger and harm. Albeit the fact that there are people who are not aware of the importance of being alert, ready and reactive, there are still quite a number of us who are taking extra steps to make themselves become more alert, more ready as well as more reactive while they are driving their vehicles on the road. When you are considering on making yourself more alert, more ready and more reactive, you should know that there are lots of things that needs to be taken into consideration so that you will make what you desire to happen, happen. Hence, we encourage you to keep on reading this article a we have listed down below every single thing that you need to know about it.
The very first thing that you need to do to avoid any risk and danger while driving your vehicle is to banish yourself in in-car distractions. We have already made mentioned earlier that the first step that you need to take into account taking when you are trying to become more alert, more focused and more reactive is to banish any in-car distractions while on the road. When you get rid of the things that could possibly distract you while you are driving on the road, you are also making sure that your focus will always be directed on the road before you as well as the things that are happening around you all the time. If you do now want to be distracted if you are in the middle of driving or if you are driving on the road, you have to ensure that all your gadgets, including your phone, are turned of or turned into silent mode as this way, you are refraining yourself from diverting your eyes away from the street or the road ahead of you.

The bank channel, long regarded as a minor league to the glitzier and higher-paying wirehouses and RIAs, is on the verge of taking a major-league step ahead.
While banks may never attract as many high-net-worth clients as the other channels, at least one big obstacle to the big-time—a lack of succession planning—is beginning to fall. Traditionally, a bank advisor's most lucrative retirement option would be to break away and go independent several years before she wanted to retire and, eventually, sell off her book. To be sure, that's still the way many approach the issue. See our Careers story by contributor Rick Rummage for tips on how to manage that.
But if you work for the small but growing number of banks that face this challenge proactively (or you're young enough to wait out a nascent business trend) you may be able to enjoy a real succession plan at your bank.
Our cover story has the details, including the history of this challenge and the emerging exceptions to the rule. And that's what these banks are so far—exceptions. But contributor Dave Lindorff spoke to some of the larger regional banks and TPMs, and they all agreed that this is taking on a larger role in the channel. Banks want to keep the fee income their advisors are generating more with each passing year, and if they don't put a plan in place to do so, a competing bank will be all too happy to poach their advisors.
Lindorff said one of the big takeaways from his reporting was that establishing a succession plan can be revenue-neutral for a bank. Having these plans in place does not have to cost the bank a penny; but not having them could cost dearly if the advisor leaves and takes half his clients with him.
Why haven't banks been quicker to adopt these plans? Rob McCabe of Pinnacle Bank, who's quoted in our story, summed it up best when he said that most banks haven't dealt with it because they haven't faced it yet. With the average advisor in his late 50's, they will soon. Or else they risk more time in the minor leagues.

Nissan, Ford report May US sales gains, GM down
Libby's firm reduced its 2017 sales forecast from 17.4 million to 17.3 million, the AP reported. The analysts dropped their full-year sales estimate from 17.5 million to 17.2 million. Nissan said it sold just over 137,000 vehicles led by the Rogue small SUV with almost a 19 percent increase. Here's the math: domestic vehicle sales continued their decline on a year-over-year basis, although there was a silver lining within SUVs and pickup trucks, which rose for many manufacturers.

The Bears and Marc Trestman can use some window dressing Sunday in Cleveland with their pre-snap alignments to run the "sail" route against the Browns. It's a three-level concept that gives quarterback Jay Cutler multiple options to target a Cover-3 defense.
As shown here, the Bears have their Posse (or 11) personnel on the field (three wide receivers, one tight end, one running back) in a 2-by-2 Doubles Slot "Exchange" formation (slot receiver on the ball). The Browns counter with their nickel sub package (five defensive backs) playing Cover-3 (three-deep, four-under in the secondary). The Bears are looking to set the bait for the underneath zone defenders and target Brandon Marshall as the primary read on the corner route.

You should request a copy of your credit report once per year. You can request one copy of your credit report from each of the three main American credit bureaus for free. While these copies of your credit report will not provide you with your credit score, they will allow you to see credit report errors that appear in your file. This is the first line of defense to protect yourself from identity theft and allows you to maintain a clean credit report and good credit score. But, over half of all Americans find some type of credit report errors in their file, whether it be an old account that was closed over seven years ago and should be dropped from the credit report or large devastating incorrect information that could potentially sideline them from receiving new credit if they applied for it.
How To Spot Credit Report Errors
The step you should take to find credit report errors is to request your credit report. You can request your report directly from any one of the three credit reporting agencies for a fee. You can also obtain your report from the Fair Isaac Corporation who manages your FICO credit score, which is the most widely used score by lenders today. Over 90% of all lenders look at a borrower's FICO credit score when making lending decisions. When you purchase your FICO score from the Fair Isaac Corporation, you will also receive one of your credit reports from the credit bureau of your choosing, either Equifax or TransUnion. You can also request your credit report for free from annualcreditreport.com which is the only official site for consumers to request their credit reports.
How To Dispute Credit Report Errors
Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), both the credit bureau that maintains your credit report and the lender must correct any information in your credit report that is inaccurate or incomplete. The consumer must first contact the credit bureau in question where the incorrect information appears in the credit report in writing telling the bureau of the error and providing copies of supporting documentation. The credit bureau then contacts the borrower to ask if the negative mark on the credit report is valid. The lender has thirty days to respond to the request or, by law, the negative mark must be removed from your credit report file. If the lender says that the negative report is valid, then no further action is taken by the credit bureau. It is then up to the consumer and the lender to work out the details of the error and its removal from the credit bureaus files.
Disputing a credit report error will only be fixed if the negative mark was actually an error on your record. You cannot dispute a negative report just for the sake of wanting it removed if it is actually a valid report of wrongdoing. One of the biggest advantages that consumers have on their side is the thirty day timeframe. Many creditors are swamped and will not respond in a timely fashion. Constant contact with the credit bureau after the thirty days are over will help remove the item from your report which in turn will raise your credit score. It takes diligence in most cases, but the results can be well worth the time and effort.

My boy is the fussiest eater ever – he's fine with breakfast but we have much more trouble when it comes to Lunch and Dinner. The upshot of this is that it forces us to find creative ways to stealth-feed him some fruit and veg; savoury muffins (we still call them cakes to the kids), blended veggie pasta sauces, fruit-heavy crumbles…
I know it's not a problem unique to my little boy so it'd be great to hear what you think and whether you have any tips? If you noticed the widget on the right hand side of this post, you'll see that I've teamed up with Weetabix this week for their Weetabix Fuel for Big Days campaign which aims to get us all talking about how we keep our kids eating healthily. So click the widget or leave a comment to add to the discussion.
We're now getting to the point where my 2 year old girl (usually a good eater) is beginning to notice and avoid the same foods as my son (ahh!) so the more tips the merrier!

A transient ischemic attack, also known as a "mini-stroke," is often a warning that a major stroke is imminent within a few days, British researchers have found.
Investigators analyzed data from two studies that showed that almost one-fourth of 2,416 people diagnosed with major ischemic stroke - the type of stroke that occurs when a brain artery is blocked - had also experienced a TIA, usually within the week before the major attack. Full findings appear in the March 8 issue of Neurology.
Among people who suffered ischemic strokes, 23% had experienced a mini-stroke beforehand. In 17% of those cases, the TIA occurred on the same day as the major stroke, while in 9% of cases the mini-stroke occurred one day before the major event. A mini-stroke occurred sometime within the week preceding the major stroke in 43% of those cases.
"Guidelines should be changed such that TIA and minor strokes are classified as medical emergencies that deserve urgent attention," said Dr. Peter M. Rothwell, one of the researchers and a professor of neurology at Oxford University.

Optical properties and aging of light-absorbing secondary organic aerosol
The light-absorbing organic aerosol (OA) commonly referred to as "brown carbon" (BrC) has attracted considerable attention in recent years because of its potential to affect atmospheric radiation balance, especially in the ultraviolet region and thus impact photochemical processes. A growing amount of data has indicated that BrC is prevalent in the atmosphere, which has motivated numerous laboratory and field studies; however, our understanding of the relationship between the chemical composition and optical properties of BrC remains limited. We conducted chamber experiments to investigate the effect of various volatile organic carbon (VOC) precursors, NO x concentrations, photolysis time, and relative humidity (RH) on the light absorption of selected secondary organic aerosols (SOA). Light absorption of chamber-generated SOA samples, especially aromatic SOA, was found to increase with NO x concentration, at moderate RH, and for the shortest photolysis aging times. The highest mass absorption coefficient (MAC) value is observed from toluene SOA products formed under high-NO x conditions at moderate RH, in which nitro-aromatics were previously identified as the major light-absorbing compounds. BrC light absorption is observed to decrease with photolysis time, correlated with a decline of the organic nitrate fraction of SOA. SOA formed from mixtures of aromatics and isoprene absorb less visible (Vis) and ultraviolet (UV) lightmore »

I am familiar with this talented artist, Lenore Senior, and appreciate her work. The towels were much better quality than I expected. So soft and such a beautiful replication of Lenore's artwork. They look great with the wall art I already have in place. I appreciate all the different product forms that FineArtAmerica offers. I have ordered Lenore's work on greeting cards, too, and they were beautiful and of a very good quality. Thank you!

A beautiful wild flower that grows in the Pacific Northwest. This shot was taken at Margaret McKenney campground located south of Olympia Washington in July 2012.
I'm a southern born and raised country girl at heart although I have resided in the beautiful state of Washington for over 30 years. I fell in love with the camera the first time I saw one. I needed no one to explain it's potential even at that young age. I'm a wife and mother of three and money was always tight while raising the kids. There was no time nor money back then to explore the magic with a camera. My children are now grown and retirement nears although my love for the lens has never faded. I'm now at a place in my life where I'm able to dive head first into my photography which is my passion. It amazes me still that I'm able to capture through my lens what the eye sees. I hope my work blesses those who see it as much as it has...

September 15, 2009 --There is a new set of government guidelines that may help doctors avoid excess CT scans in children. US researchers say too many young children are getting CT scans after a minor bump on the head. But CT scans expose children to radiation which can increase the risk of cancer.
A team of researchers reporting in the journal The Lancet has now set up a set of rules for spotting mild injuries that do not need CT scans.
Low-risk injuries involve no scalp swelling, no significant loss of consciousness and no palpable skull fracture. Severe accidents include car crashes in which the patient was ejected from the vehicle.

Hello, Christine.You are very welcome. I am glad that the information was of some help to you. Many blessings, peace, love and happiness to you and yours.
Hello, everyone.
Many of you know about indigo, crystal and rainbow children and/or adults. You may even be one of the three yourself. But did you ever happen to think that perhaps whatever you are feeling may be due to the fact that you are going through a transition? It is quite possible.
I know I am going through one right now. I am a crystal going through the crystal to rainbow transition. The transitions are sometimes referred to as a transitional crisis because for some experiencing it, it can be just that. A crisis. But know that you are not alone as you go through the transition. Others are or have gone through as well. This is what I am going through right now.
I hope this will help you. Happy reading, take care, love and hugs.

The Top 7 Healthy Snacks Under 100 Calories:
When beginning any type of weight loss regimen, it is essentially important to have a strategy for your diet and exercise program. Oftentimes it is much more affordable to create an environment where the food you eat has been selected because it is conducive to your weight loss program. Even though it may seem to be a great option, especially if you are a little lazy, buying store meals or utilizing online food delivery options will become increasingly expensive over a short period of time.
The easiest and simplest way to fill your day with smart choices is to stock your refrigerator and pantry with snack selections that will automatically be aligned with your diet. The moment you feel hungry you will find that these snacks are an easy and inexpensive solution to help maintain your diet and your figure. In contrast, if you still have unhealthy snacks, such as potato chips, candy bars, and pop tarts, you will begin to blow to gain weight a very fast and steady pace. The following 7 selections are some of the top healthy snacks that will fit in your diet and perfectly into your budget.
Hard Boiled Eggs.
Coming in under 100 calories is a couple of hard boiled eggs. It is jam packed with nutrition and eggs have a way of curbing your appetite, sometimes for several hours. Eggs contain healthy fats- monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats and they are very high in protein which is great for your body. Hard boiled eggs contain vitamins that help to support your bones and protect your eyesight. These healthy fats help to stabilize your blood cholesterol and lower your chance of having heart disease in the future. You can boil them up and refrigerate them to eat later when you are on the go.
A half cup of oatmeal is sure to be satisfaction for your stomach. Oatmeal is one of the easiest things to be prepare and can easily be dressed up or dressed down. You can cook in the pot or you can microwave it for quick results. Either way, oatmeal is an extremely healthy choice. You can couple your oatmeal with blood sugar friendly cinnamon for a scrumptious snack. Oatmeal is another snack that is known to kill a raging appetite. It is also good to eat it first thing in the morning. It will give you a full feeling for many hours, effectively reducing your overall calorie intake.
A handful of almonds are nutritious and delicious. Almonds, just like eggs, are a great protein punch. Almonds are known to be very healthy for the heart, and is a great substitute for the "bad" carbohydrates such as bread, pasta, and other processed foods. So instead of reaching for chips, cake or brownies, try a handful of almonds. Before you know it, you will be incorporating nuts into your salads, crusts, and creating interesting trail mixes.
Baby carrots with dip.
Carrots are always a sweet vegetable treat whether they are cooked or raw. The best way to eat them, if you want the greatest nutrients, it to eat it in its raw form. Also the vitamin A that is in carrots do a great to protect your eyesight. Take 8-10 baby carrots and pair them with a low carbohydrate dip. Many times ranch has a very low amount of carbs. There are also other no carb and low carb dips that you can purchase. Just check your labels before purchasing and use dips sparingly so that you will not inadvertently increase your calorie intake much higher than it should be. Hummus also make a great dip selection . This combination will help you fight cravings for other junk food choices.
1 Cup of Cheerios will take you a very long way. I know that most often, we think of Cheerios as a snack for small children. But, who put an age limitation on this cereal? Cheerios are for all age groups. If you want a fulfilling snack a cup of cheerios will do just that. It is full of whole-grains to boot, which is great for digestion, so have at it! This definitely beats sugar laden snacks and sweets.
Raisin Bread.
Raisin bread is a sweet and health morning snack, which tasted more like a treat than a snack. Be sure to eat the whole grain variety. You can eat this as it is from the pack or toast it up. Adding a little dap of butter to your toast will enrich the flavor and make the experience and even tastier one. Raisin bread is about 85 calories per calories per slice, so do not overdo on this one. Fortunately, bread is always a filling option, especially after you chase it down with a glass of water.
Yummy Smoothie with Berries.
How do you spell amazing? S-M-O-O-T-H-I-E ! Drinking smoothies is a wonderful way to pack maximum nutrition all in one place. Smoothies can be all fruit, all veggie, or a smart mix of both for a wonderful, fulfilling snack or meal. The best way to keep down calories in your smoothie, if you are using it as a snack, is to choose berried that are low in calories. These berries can be combined with a little honey for a little sweetness. You can also mix in about half of one banana. This will produce a nice creamy, pleasant tasting smoothie combination that will keep you full for long periods of time. It is especially useful if you do not want or do not feel like preparing anything. Just pick up your cup and start sipping away, while you continue to pursue your weight loss goals. Anytime you are unsure of what to eat, research a few veggies and fruit combination for a satisfying mix of protein, vitamins, and minerals. A mix like this will be hard to beat.

BERLIN (Reuters) - Teenage Briton Adam Peaty, competing at his second major international event, broke the 50 meters breaststroke world record in the European championships semi-finals on Friday.
The 19-year-old, who won gold medals in Berlin in the 100 breaststroke and the 4x100 mixed medley, clocked a time of 26.62 seconds.
The Englishman's effort eclipsed the previous record of 26.67 seconds set by South African Cameron van der Burgh in Rome in 2009.
"I feel absolutely amazing. I had to look at that scoreboard about five times before I knew I had broken it," Peaty said.
"I haven't broken a world record before so I don't know how it feels. Hopefully, it will sink in by Saturday so I can get my head down and hopefully get a better performance out of myself in the final.
"It was not a perfect race due to my final touch so I can still improve tomorrow."
Peaty also claimed two golds and a silver at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow last month.

Q: What's the most interesting/significant project you've worked on at IV?
I'm most interested in developing commercial investment strategies for IV. It's exciting to work with a variety of IV teams to execute commercialization plans.
By developing investment strategies, I play a role in helping IV explore new technological areas where there is potential to attract new investors and customers. It's a really special opportunity to be able to influence IV's vision in new markets and help the company develop a unique point of view on how key segments will evolve, what technologies will be critical, and which technologies and markets will intersect.
Q: How do you see IV's values play out on a regular basis? (Values are: integrity, pioneering spirit, knowledge, inventiveness, patience, passion)
I see them all around us in everything we do — these skills are in our DNA and the DNA of our customers. Being consistent with these values is critical to building trust and long-term relationships.
Q: Describe the opportunity to grow through interactions with other IV colleagues.
My coworkers are my most valuable resource, and we are constantly learning from each other. Our day-to-day jobs may vary greatly — for example, on a typical day, I might work with someone from engineering or acquisitions. This variety of talent at IV has exposed me to a whole range of new experiences.
Q: Do you ever think about the impact that you're making on future technologies? How does that make you feel?
I always believe in "the possible," but within limits. While limits exist, we must continue to push and stretch those boundaries in many directions to find elasticity where previously unseen.
IV is at a unique juncture in technology and IP development, especially as more industries are intersecting with each other. As our customers seek to grow their businesses through adjacent markets, IV can help them be prepared for major market and technology shifts that could significantly disrupt their businesses.
Q: You're based in Dublin – What are your thoughts on being one of IV's global employees?
The invention marketplace is global. This is never more apparent than when I consider how often I work with colleagues located in different continents.
Being on the "other side of the pond" from IV's Bellevue headquarters has proven to be no barrier to working with the broader IV teams. I know I speak for all of the Dublin team in this regard. Like all great inventors, we can turn challenges into opportunities. While distance has its challenges, we leverage a range of technologies to seamlessly integrate us and we build solid relationships across time zones.
