INDEPENDENCE COUNTY, AR (KAIT) – Two millage proposals were defeated during special elections in Independence County.
Cedar Ridge and Batesville were each asking voters to raise taxes so that they can step up security on their respective campuses.
The Batesville millage proposal was defeated by a landslide. 151 residents voted for the increase, while 851 voted against it.
In the Cedar Ridge School District, the millage increase was also defeated. We're told 111 voters voted for the increase, while 239 voted against it.
Voters in both districts seemed to support the idea of making the districts safer, but some are unsure why taxes need to be raised to do so.
"I'm anxious to see how the vote does go," said Cedar Ridge Superintendent Dr. Ann Webb.
Dr. Webb was hopeful that voters would have approved the proposal to raise the local property tax rate by an additional one mill.
"I'm always optimistic that the people will vote for safety and security, especially where students are concerned," she said.
Dr. Webb proposed raising the district's millage from 38.2 to 39.2. The extra revenue would have generated about $142,000 each year and would allow the district to staff two-full time resource officers and install more security equipment.
"I really would love to have panic buttons, at least two, in every school and one at every school secretary's desk," Dr. Webb said, "so that that would have a direct link to the [Independence County] Sheriff's Office in case anyone should come in and there should be a dangerous or a violent situation."
She says she'd be unable to make these upgrades without the millage increase because she's about to stretch the school budget to pay for new technology.
"I can cut back in some other areas, but every time I cut back that means that our students lose out," Dr. Webb said. "We really need more technology because the Common Core is here, and we are going to start testing on computers in the future."
Robert Marshall of Newark kept budget concerns like this in mind when he decided to vote against the proposal.
"I feel we need to look the situation over and be more conservative with our spending," Marshall said.
Voters in the Batesville School District weighed some of the same concerns.
"I don't think anyone is out there saying we shouldn't do these things," Batesville Superintendent Dr. Randy Willison said. "I think it's more of a matter of saying are they willing to support a tax increase or not?"
Dr. Willison wanted voters to pass a 1.25-mill increase so that his district's millage would go from 38.75 to an even 40. He says that would help pay for new security measures, like manning each campus with a resource officer.
"We're certainly taking every [safety] precaution we can," he said, "but we can do better and that's what we're trying to do."
Several voters said off-camera Tuesday that they opposed the proposal to avoid paying higher taxes, but Laura Rumans of Batesville said she could see the benefit.
"We can't control everything in life," Rumans said, "but I just feel like this is one step in the right direction."

Home decor is one of the best ways to express yourself while also creating a comfortable place you can call your own. However, it's not a talent that comes easily to most people, so it's only natural to need help every now and then. Many decorators have incorporated a new trend called a "gallery wall," an eye-catching arrangement of artwork and decor that's meant to function as a statement piece for the home. While the gallery wall is one of the most stunning decorating trends, it's not easy to master. Thankfully, here are some tips to make the task almost foolproof.
Find a Piece You Love
To start your gallery wall, find at least one piece of artwork that you absolutely love. This is a great way to showcase a meaningful item that doesn't quite fit anywhere else in your home. Children's artwork, old family photos, and memorabilia are great places to start.
Find Other Pieces That Coordinate – But Don't Match
Once you have a few pieces assembled, look for other items to round out the display. As you're shopping, remember that the items shouldn't match exactly, but they should coordinate. Your pieces may all be muted pastels, or they may all be bright colors. Just make sure that there's a bit of variety and that none of the colors clash.
Variety Is Key
With a gallery wall, variety is crucial. You want a mixture of different types of artwork such as paintings, drawings, prints, and quotations. Mirrors are also a great way to add interest and draw attention, and you can even include items that aren't traditionally considered art. If you can hang it on the wall, it can be part of the gallery.
More Is Better
There's one common mistake many people make when creating a gallery wall: too few items. You may be scared to add more pieces to your wall, worried that the space will look cluttered. It's actually more likely that you won't have enough artwork, making the wall look awkward.
Arrange Before You Hang
You should never start hanging your pieces until you're sure about the arrangement. You can lay out the gallery wall on the floor, trying different layouts until you find the one you love. Make sure you space everything similarly, and remember that it's best to keep items fairly close together. If you spread artwork too far apart, it just looks like disorganized decorating instead of the gallery effect you're going for.
With a little practice, you'll eventually find the perfect arrangement for your gallery wall, and it's well worth the effort. After all, nothing feels more like home than a space you decorate yourself.

Make Up Artist Muamera Pulic Talks Make Up Mistakes That Girls Do
International make-up artist Muamera Pulic orbits the world of lipstick, eyeshadow and mascara and took the opportunity to share with us her personal take on what's hot and what's not in her own fashion driven universe.
With the 26-year-old starting her career in front of the camera as a model, her creative skills saw her switch positions to now create magic as a make-up artist.
Mumera put her hectic schedule on hold to discuss her do's and dont's and how to avoid some common make-up blunders.
Muamera, when did you first become obsessed with make-up?
I actually never got obsessed with "make-up'' itself. It's always been about the colors and letting people into my world. Creating art is very personal to me and sharing my emotions through it, to make people happy, is what I love. In a sense I feel alive when I create.
Is there a special celeb you'd like to make happy by applying your art?
All of them! Lol. But I'd especially love to do the Kardashian's make-up. I'd like to see my style on their faces.
How would you define your 'style'? What sets you apart from other make-up artists?
My signature style is very sensual. No matter if the desired look is natural nudist or more dramatic, I always tend to make the model look sexy. It feels a bit like I'm conjuring up some confidence upon their skin. You can clearly see how they transform into strong women; how they start to move their bodies differently and that is what I want: make them feel as comfortable and beautiful as possible.
Obviously that works for you too! What is your personal beauty secret?
Pretty simple really. Stay hydrated and get enough sleep. That's it basically.
Alright, I have 5 minutes to do my make-up. What can I do that would make the most difference?
Eyebrows, Eyebrows, Eyebrows! Buy an eyebrow mascara brush! That'll hold your brows in shape during the day and fill them naturally.
Blush – add a bit of color to your (probably) white face when you live in Germany like me Lol.
Last but not least: mascara for that sexy eye-contact with your crush.
Ok, 30 seconds left! Apply a nude lip contour or grab your favorite lipstick. Et Voilá!
That sounds perfect! But what are the most common make up mistakes that girls make?
I think the two biggest and most crucial mistakes I've been noticing are choosing the wrong foundation color (lighter or darker than your actual skin-tone) or, and this is even worse, playing the eyebrow game totally wrong.
Let's turn to the more positive things in your job. What is the most memorable job you've ever done?
The most memorable experience I've had during my career was a charity job in a nursing home for the sick and disabled. Every two years, Esther Haase (well known German fashion photographer) offered to shoot a calender with twelve seniors, all dressed up and transformed into special roles! The themes and locations were always changing and last year's topic was Pop Icons! Because of their age and conditions, the seniors don't often get to participate in many exciting things, so doing their make-up and clothes and putting them into the spotlight felt fantastic! We made them so happy and it was such a touching experience, that none of us will ever forget.
Back to Business. Is there a beauty trend right now that you find particulary exciting?
There are so many trends at the moment… I think the contouring game is still at it's strongest. It has been taken to a whole other level and its quite amusing watching all these Instagram beauty bloggers trying to set a new trend. One particular girl used a bra silicon pad as a make-up sponge by cutting it into two pieces which was ingenious...
Do you have an all time favorite product?
I don't know if it's either the Lipliner from Mac (Whirl) or the Foundation Designer lift from Armani.
MAC or Armani. A lot of people think that expensive products are better than affordable ones. What is your experience?
I don't believe so… In my opinion it's all about which products you can work with the best. It has nothing to do with brands or prices in the first place.
How about an own make up line?
That is something I see happening one day.
If you weren't a make-up artist, what would you be?
Definitely a fashion designer.
Do you have any advice for girls with make up artist aspirations? Is there a secret to success?
Work hard and believe in yourself. Don't be discouraged by others because there will always be people trying to hold you back. Be truthful and patient and give your very best – everywhere, everytime.
Keep yourself updated! Read about fashion and everything that comes with it!
Try to be ahead of everyone else!

Chalkers Crossing 2014 CC2 Shiraz from Hilltops, near Canberra, has won the Len Evens Memorial Trophy for wine of show (and three other trophies) at the National Wine Show. This followed the success of the same wine at the Sydney show and others. Its a beautiful wine, thoroughly deserving these results.
But the wine that was runner up for the Shiraz trophy was our very own 2015 Shiraz, which won the top gold medal in the 2015 Shiraz class, against 88 other shiraz wines from around Australia.
One of the other most prestigious trophies at the show, the Red Wine of Provenance trophy, was won by Collector Wines for their 2015, 2009 and 2005 Marked Tree Shiraz.
Altogether, these are stunning results for Hilltops and Canberra District, dominating the shiraz classes at the National Wine Show. As others have said before, we're seeing the rise and rise of cool-climate shiraz in Australia.

Tonight's program of Alfred Schnittke's World presents two piano pieces by Ukrainian composer Valentin Silvestrov (b. 1937) that embody two features of his creative character – a disregard for political pressure and a melancholic soul.
The first one is reflected in Elegy (1967), where atonal piontilistic gestures exhibit modern aesthetic that was considered unacceptable in the Soviet Union for several decades. As many of his coleagues, Silvestrov faced oppression when he was composing music using avant-garde techniques from the West, and many of his works were not performed in his native country for political reasons.
However, it was not the oppression that prompted Silvestrov to change his style, but the discovery of his inner lyrical and poetic universe. In 1974-77 he composed a melancholic song cycle Silent Songs, written in deeply lyrical, reminiscent of romantic songs, but still original music language. Since then, many of his piano works, including Hymn – 2001 sound almost as if they were Romantic fragments. Almost – but one can virtually hear their timelessness in the long reverberating silences. Silvestrov believes that music becomes music only when it doesn't limit itself to such things as an époque. As he stated during one of his public lectures:
People say it's romanticism, but [tonality in my work] does not stand for romanticism, rather for the return of music to poetry. Originally romanticism was meant to marry the music and the poetry. Consider, for example, Shubert. People composed songs before him, but he made this meeting of poetry and music possible and people called it romanticism. That was the time when the human soul had acquired not only poetic language, but also musical.
Poetry and melancholy are always present in the musical language of Silvestrov's piano miniatures – his main specialties of the recent years. They are composed with an instant inspiration, and then carefully crafted, like platonic ideas that have always existed beyond human realm.
When there is no melancholy, there is no music…Sadness [is present in my music] not because the life is difficult, but because music is like fleeting beauty. Everyone who lives in this world seems to be happy, but short-lived. Only music remains.

I've studied hundreds of top earners in our industry and the only thing they all have in common is that they all built the business differently from each other. Some are master recruiters. Others are master trainers. Some are dynamic leaders. Some are master motivators. And some are retailing machines!
Any of these strategies will work, if you do it consistently. At the end of the day, you should pick a strategy that works best for you. There is no right or wrong answer.
# 1 Go Wide & Work the Numbers
This is quite perhaps the most common mindset in our industry. People are taught to sponsor 100, 200 or 300 or more people personally UNTIL they find their two to five leaders who generate all of their income.
This is a great concept if you are a good recruiter. It also isn't as time consuming as the other strategies because you aren't spending a lot of time with each person that you sponsor. You're basically throwing a lot of mud against the wall and seeing what sticks. You're letting the cream rise to the top.
You sign people up, give them their initial training, slap them on the butt, wish them good luck, and send them on their way. You think their success is up to them and you are off looking for your next recruit.
The downside of this strategy is that you will have high attrition. You will have a revolving door in your business, because 99% of your team can't do what you do!
Most people you sponsor need intensive support and babysitting and since you aren't doing that with each person, they will quit. However, the good leaders will stick around.
# 2 Be Product Focused
This is another strategy in our industry, although it isn't very common. Some top earners are so passionate about their company's product line that they ONLY focus on getting customers. They lead with the products. They are an evangelist for their company's products and they feel inspired to share them with other people.
This is definitely an effective way to build a business, but it can be the slow route. You do need customers, but since most people you bring into the business are only customers, you won't get much duplication or growth.
That being said, this way can be extremely profitable, right from day one. Think about how much money you could make if every distributor on your team had 20 ACTIVE customers?
Your key to success with this strategy is to have a streamlined process to upgrade your customers into business builders and to get referrals.
For this style to work, you have to be really passionate about the products AND the products must be a good detail for customers, even at the retail price. Since 95% of the companies in our industry have overpriced products, this strategy won't work in most companies!
# 3 Spend Lots of Time Mentoring and Training
Some people are naturally good at training, motivating, leadership and nurturing. Some distributors can sponsor 20 to 50 people and build a huge business because they spend a lot of time with each person they sponsor. They really are TEACHERS.
They spend most of their time building depth. They make a friend and meet their friends. They help each new person get started right and that starting working with that person's contacts as quickly as possible.
The benefit of doing this strategy is that you don't have to spend as much time on personal recruiting and you can work with fewer people. You will also have less attrition. That being said, it's VERY time consuming, but well worth it as I see it.
In my opinion, the best leaders in our industry use this strategy.
# 4 Recruiting Quality People
This is another strategy used by many top earners in the network marketing industry. Some top earners are VERY selective about who they will sponsor. They don't want to work with wishy-washy or wimpy people. They will only work with doers. They will only sponsor other entrepreneurs, successful people or sales people.
They focus on quality, not quantity.
The benefit of this strategy is that you can work smart. When you sponsor leaders your business will grow quickly. The downside of this strategy is that good leaders are hard to find and are normally already successful in their current endeavor and not looking for something else to do.
That being said, if you can sponsor five to ten good leaders (and successful people) you can build a huge organization.
Bonus Strategy: Taprooting
This is another strategy used in our industry. It's often used by people using the other strategies listed above. This is when you drive each leg of your group as deep as you can. You always work with the newest, most excited person at the bottom most point of the organization. You light a fire in the basement so everyone above them stays excited.
Additional Thought
It's important to realize that you can combine some of these strategies, maybe even all of them. For example, I am very good at recruiting, but I also spend a lot of time teaching my team.
Final Thoughts
There you have it folks. These are four strategies or mindsets about building a large and successful network marketing organization. What do you think about these strategies? Which one is your favorite? Which one do you use? Leave a comment below to let me know what you think. I look forward to hearing from you.

Happy reading!
The most recent Police newsletter for the Hillingdon community is now available at:
Happy reading!
The police are running a survey into what bothers Ickenham people. They say they use the information gathered when setting their priorities.
Once again, our friends at Neighbourhood Watch have sent us some information on behalf of Action Fraud (National Fraud Intelligence Bureau):
Action Fraud has received the first reports of Tech-Support scammers claiming to be from Microsoft who are taking advantage of the global WannaCry ransomware attack.
One victim fell for the scam after calling a 'help' number advertised on a pop-up window. The window which wouldn't close said the victim had been affected by WannaCry Ransomware.
The victim granted the fraudsters remote access to their PC after being convinced there wasn't sufficient anti-virus protection. The fraudsters then installed Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool, which is actually free and took £320 as payment.
It is important to remember that Microsoft's error and warning messages on your PC will never include a phone number.
Additionally Microsoft will never proactively reach out to you to provide unsolicited PC or technical support. Any communication they have with you must be initiated by you.
How to protect yourself:
If you believe you have already been a victim:
Report fraud and cyber crime to Actionfraud.police.uk
Our friends at Neighbourhood Watch have asked us to beware of Smishing frauds:
This information has been sent on behalf of Action Fraud (National Fraud Intelligence Bureau):
Smishing – the term used for SMS phishing – is an activity which enables criminals to steal victims' money or identity, or both, as a result of a response to a text message. Smishing uses your mobile phone (either a smartphone or traditional non-internet connected handset) to manipulate innocent people into taking various actions which can lead to being defrauded.
The National Fraud Intelligence Bureau has received information that fraudsters are targeting victims via text message, purporting to be from their credit card provider, stating a transaction has been approved on their credit card.
The text message further states to confirm if the transaction is genuine by replying 'Y' for Yes or 'N' for No.
Through this method the fraudster would receive confirmation of the victim's active telephone number and would be able to engage further by asking for the victim's credit card details, CVV number (the three digits on the back of your bank card) and/or other personal information.
Protect yourself:
If you have been a victim of fraud or cyber crime, please report it to Action Fraud at http://www.actionfraud.police.uk/ or alternatively by calling 0300 123 2040
Last July Rob Bryan, Temporary Chief Inspector for Partnership & Neighbourhoods in Hillingdon, teamed up with our Neighbourhood Watch friends to publish a monthly Hillingdon Police Community Newsletter.
If you're not already receiving this in your email, or if you would prefer to access it directly at your own convenience, you can access current and past issues directly from the Neighbourhood Watch website.
If you're of a technical bent, you can read copies in your browser by using the format below for the web address (remove the quote marks – I added them to stop some browsers converting the address into a hyperlink):
Just substitute yy with the last two digits of the year and mm with the number of the month.
Happy reading!
Neighbourhood Watch knows where lots of CCTV cameras are. If you tell them quickly enough (i.e. don't leave it for days) then they can check the recordings and help the police to nail the villains.
Make sure you tell the police first. As so often happens, someone has just reported a burglary to NHW but it happened at the start of the month, which could mean that the recordings have already been overwritten.
Some residents don't even bother to report car break-ins to NHW, yet these often reveal leads to bigger crimes in the area.

This message is from A/Chief Inspector David George:
Dear Hillingdon Residents, Business Persons and Partners,
The Commissioner Bernard Hogan Howe will be holding a Road show at Hillingdon Civic Centre on Wednesday 24th August between 1830 to 1930.
The aim of the event is to address the community and finish with a Questions & Answer session. The Commissioner will be joined by the Hillingdon Borough Leadership Team to answer questions from the audience.
Local community policing team officers along with other victim support services provided by the police (Community Safety Unit, I Victim Support, Court Support, Safeguarding Adults, Burglary Squad, Smart water team ) will also be on hand.
There is no need to register for the event and the community are requested to just turn up on the night. Attendees will be required to attend no later than 1820 to allow time for seating.
Thank you and I hope to see you on the evening

Episode 2 of season 9 of The Real Housewives of New York, the wildly popular reality TV series on Bravo, had one of its cast members Dorinda Medley visit us for a whole body cryotherapy session. Dorinda admittedly loves the experience but couldn't convince her friend Ramona Singer to join her in a session.
Our staff members Stacy-Lee and Josh were featured prominently in the scene, in which the two women discuss the past season's highlights.
Brian Murray, Jr., a writer for BestProducts.com, wrote he was inspired and reassured by Dorinda's visit to our center. He recounted his experience on the site and referred to us as "the OG cryotherapy spa in NYC," an honor we'll gladly accept. Check out Brian in action below:

Beaumont/Port Arthur
Police in Orange are searching for two suspects who robbed a Dollar General at gunpoint July 10.
Police report that a woman suspected of robbing Capital One Bank in Orange on May 20, 2016, is in custody after allegedly robbing another bank in Louisiana, according to a news release from the Orange Police Department.
Captain Robery Enmon reports that a lone white female suspect robbed the Orange bank, located at 3738 N. 16th St., in 2016. OPD and the FBI conducted an investigation, but no suspect was identified at that time.
While convenient, swiping your debit or credit card at a gas station pump may be more risky than you think thanks to identity thieves placing credit card skimmers inside the pumps, hidden from public view and waiting to record your personal financial information so the scammers can empty out your accounts.
Police in Orange are investigating a deadly auto-pedestrian accident that claimed the life of an Ohio resident Oct. 9, Orange Police Department Lt. Garrold Keaton reports.
According to a news release, officers were dispatched to the area of 2080 I-10 North Service Road shortly after 10 p.m. in reference to an auto-pedestrian traffic accident. Acadian Ambulance Service was called to the scene, but were unable to resuscitate the 44-year-old male victim, who had been struck by a vehicle still on the scene.
Aug. 18, a police detective in Orange discovered a man apparently suffering from a self-inflicted gunshot wound in a vehicle parked in the parking lot north of the Orange Police Department at 303 8th St., reports Capt. Robert Enmon.
Police in Orange are separately investigating a theft and a smash and grab incident where the driver plowed through walls to plunder proprietors' merchandise.
Police report that a burglary suspect attempting to break into a house in Orange was at the hospital receiving medical treatment March 15 after the homeowner of the residence fought back against the imprudent intruder.
Police in Orange have arrested a suspect in the Feb. 3 aggravated robbery of The Country Store at 7411 Interstate 10.
Police in Orange responding to the burglary of a business arrested a suspect they discovered hiding in the bushes near McCoy's Building Supply on Lutcher Drive. Investigators also discovered evidence of the crime and stolen items from the business nearby where the man was hiding, reports the Orange Police Department.
Police in Orange arrested 34-year-old David Nehemiah Diaz for disorderly conduct on Christmas Eve, Dec. 24, after Diaz reportedly shouted profanity and slung racial slurs at passersby and security personnel outside of a local grocery store.
While we harbor no disrespect for the Wall Street Journal who called us "that scrappy little paper from Southeast Texas," we prefer to think of ourselves as simple seekers of the truth. We're of the opinion that headlines and sound bites never tell the whole story. Our readers demand all the facts, facets and flavors of every story or event. And, they expect to be informed, educated and stirred to action.

As a young single lady in your 20's, it is very important to good financial decisions which will prepare you for your future.
As a young single lady in your 20's, it is very important to good financial decisions which will prepare you for your future.
Here are money moves singles ladies should make in their 20's
The best time to focus on your career as a lady is in your 20's. It might take a while to go up the career ladder which is why you need to place your main focus on your career.
Define your career path and have a clear-cut career goal you want to achieve. This could mean taking professional courses, gaining career experience by changing companies within a time frame.
Your financial plans are the things you want to achieve financially. Draw out a financial plan you think you can reach.
Where do you want to see yourself in the future financially and how can you achieve it within that period. Then you can break it down to monthly and yearly steps.
Your financial plan should include short-term and long-term financial goals you want to achieve, also including a retirement plan into your financial plans.
Having a savings is very important which is why you need to take your savings seriously.
Set aside money every month you which you should put into your savings and watch your money grow. You don't know when your savings might come in handy.
You might think since you pay your bills regularly, you have it all sorted out and you don't have to worry about budgeting. Budgeting is one of the best ways to manage your finance.
Having a budget help you find areas where you can cut costs of things and where you can save more money from.
ALSO READ: 5 budget mistakes you should avoid
As you have savings, it is also important you have an emergency fund. Emergency funds help to cover unplanned and unexpected expenses which might affect your income.
Out of your income, take a substantial amount of it every month and put it into your emergency savings.
ALSO READ: Money talk before marriage
Debt can have a negative impact on your finances which you should avoid.
Debt has a way of leaving you in the same financial position which can make it difficult to achieve nothing. If you have debts to pay, pay them up and stay away from it. Paying debt will also free up areas of your income which you can put into savings.
As a lady, you are not too young to start thinking about retiring early. The earlier you start planning and saving towards your retirement, the more chance you have to retire early.

The music evokes various scenes, such as the impression of a barren Spanish landscape in the shimmering heat or bustling life in the various cities of Spain.

Janos Starker recorded Bach's Cello Suites five times, two of which are available on CD. The first in 1965 for Mercury Living Presence, was a triumph. He set his reputation for technical perfection, sensitive phrasing and a supreme expressive intensity.
Don't let the technicalities put you off. Yes this is deep Bach. But this is also very accessible Bach. This is fun Bach. This is Bach, the sublime, played by one of the cello's best performers.

With their performances of arrangements of well-known, romantic Russian pieces, popular adaptations and waltzes, this professional orchestra gives us an insight into the spirited and highly entertaining world of a living musical culture.
For years, the Concerto for Orchestra has been not only the most-played of Bartoks works, but also the most frequently performed among other contemporary scores.
While on his travels, Bartók liked to collect old folksongs,
Richter and Rostropovich devote themselves to their task with verve and freshness. The two early works are marked by the rich and full sound of the cello and an elegantly performed piano part, while the two Russian musicians foster a contemplative, introverted style in the A major Sonata.
The orchestral antagonists the Marlboro Festival Orchestra weaves a chamber music-like, delicate and wonderfully transparent carpet of sound, upon which Beethovens characteristic woodwind instruments are bedded like roses.
In their tactful tone, warm exploitation of melody, and candid desire to please, the bulk of the violin sonatas certainly reflect the easy terms on which Beethoven, as the latest musical lion, found himself with dilettante circles in turn-of-the-century Vienna.

Investment fraud is the major non-violent crime perpetrated against older citizens!!!
by Lawrence C. Melton, Esq., firstname.lastname@example.com, www.aboutbrokerfraud.com
THE HAYES LAW FIRM, P.C., www.dhayeslaw.com, 1-866-332-35567 toll free
Last Monday, September 10, 2007, the Securities Exchange Commission held a summit on senior investment fraud at which the panelist discussed, among other things, free lunch seminars aimed at defrauding seniors. Contributors at the summit included the AARP, FINRA and NASAA. See, Darla Mercado, Senior Summit targets fraudsters, InvestmentNews.com, September 7, 2007. http://www.investmentnews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070907/REG/70907012
Although thousands of citizens annually fall victim to the many kinds of consumer fraud practiced by con artists, older Americans are the most preyed upon group of the consumer population. 1 Elderlaw Advoc. Aging 7:2 (2d ed.). At an earlier setting, Patricia D. Struck, President of the North American Securities Administrators Association (NASAA), gave the following testimony before the United States Senate, Special Committee on Aging:
"While our cases of senior investment fraud may not make national headlines, they are devastating in their impact to the victims and their families. What would you do if your mother or father turned over their retirement nest egg to a smooth-talking "senior specialist" who promoted unsuitable investments?"
"These are dangerous economic times for seniors...con artist read the headlines, and they need little encouragement to emerge from the side streets and back alleys to Main Street where older investors live."
(Struck, Senate Testimony, 03/29/06).
Indeed, state consumer affair offices all across the country are reporting a steady increase in cases of fraud against the growing population of senior citizens. Hearings and surveys show that fraud directed at older consumers is widespread and pervasive, affecting nearly every aspect of the seniors' lives. Investigations reveal a growing use of scare tactics, rush deals, pressure for down payment, secrecy, and claims of authority by those practicing fraud against older victims.
Arguably the biggest problem these days is the so-called free lunch seminar. Participants at last weeks summit noted that unscrupulous brokers and investment advisers conduct free lunch seminars in order to actively pursue and single out elderly clientele under the belief that they make easier prey. Essentially, the corrupt broker is looking for an investor with diminished understanding of the stock market. Such an investor tends to depend completely and totally on the representations of his or her stockbroker. If the broker is unethical, he or she will place the client's savings in investments that increase the brokers commissions to the detriment of the client's financial well being.
I am in receipt of an advance copy of a press release that will be published by The Hayes Law Firm, P.C. The press release does a good job summarizing the findings from last weeks summit. Here is an excerpt from the press release:
As the saying goes, there is no "free lunch." A recent investigation by the SEC of 110 "free lunch" seminars found serious issues with this popular tactic used by investment advisors. Deficiency letters or letters of caution were sent to 78% of the investment firms investigated. In addition, 23% of the investment firms are under review for possible further investigation or action by a state, FINRA or SEC.
As part of its ongoing effort to protect senior investors, the SEC initiated its investigation of broker-dealers, investment advisors and other financial services firms that offer so-called "free lunch" sales seminars. The detailed report summarized their findings:
- Sponsors of "free lunch" offer attractive inducements
- Seniors are the Target
- Seminars designed to sell
- Misleading, exaggerated sales materials are often used
- Broker Firms fail to supervise these Seminars
- Bad Investment Advice is given leading to unsuitable investments
- Fraudulent practices including misrepresentations of risk/return, fictitious investments
"We have so many clients who have fallen victim to these sales tactics," said Debra Brewer Hayes of The Hayes Law Firm. "The saddest thing is that they target seniors, those who can least afford to lose their life savings. Just remember, a "free lunch" could cost you a bundle." The Hayes Law Firm encourages investors to report investment advisor fraud and to seek damages.
(PRESS RELEASE: SEC WARING--BEWARE OF "FREE LUNCH" INVESTMENT SEMINARS, The Hayes Law Firm, P.C., not yet released).
Working hand-in-hand with the free lunch seminar scam is the meaningless professional title scam, sometimes referred to as the "source credibility" tactic. Fraudulent Financial Advisers are increasingly obtaining meaningless official-sounding titles in order to trick seniors citizens. These questionable "professional" titles are often bandied about at free lunch seminars where the so-called specialist reviews the seniors investment portfolio. The self-proclaimed specialist typically recommends liquidating the securities and using the proceeds to purchase indexed or variable annuities products.
FINRA addressed this issue at the SEC Seniors Summit held on Monday, September 10, 2007. Mary L. Shapiro, CEO of FINRA announced a regulatory sweep aimed at preventing this all-to-common scam:
"The first sweep is aimed at the use of inflated or meaningless professional titles by advisers who are seeking to lure seniors into thinking they are experts in retirement planning. The use of so-called professional designations is becoming an increasingly common device used to entice investors to open an account. The unfortunate trust is that seniors can be susceptible to these tactics. Our research shows that some seniors are more likely to listen to pitches from people with such designations. We at FINRA are deeply troubled by this development...."
(Remarks by Mary L. Shapiro, CEO, FINRA, SEC Seniors Summit, September 10, 2007).
Investors, especially senior citizens, need to approach professional designations with extreme skepticism. These days anyone can call himself an expert. Obtaining a fancy sounding title is simplicity itself. Don't be fooled. Remember, if everyone is an expert, then no one is. With such a large number of people walking around with professional titles, some of them have to be liars.
Here is how it works. A financial adviser working for an insurance company will pay a certain amount of money for a correspondence course to obtain an official sounding title. The course might take a couple of days or maybe a couple of hours. Then the adviser takes an easy multiple choice test and obtains the "professional" title. But does that make him an expert? Doubtful. He probably only took the weekend course to get the title, not the knowledge or expertize. Why? Obviously, he wants the title to pull the wool over your eyes. Don't let him.
As Mrs. Shapiro commented on Monday, September 10, 2007:
"The unfortunate fact is that some designations can be obtained simply by paying membership dues to an organization with an impressive sounding name. Too many times these designations mean absolutely nothing. Seniors put their trust in these individuals and are led down a path of financial ruin."
Remarks by Mary L. Shapiro, CEO, FINRA, SEC Seniors Summit, September 10, 2007.
The NASAA is on the same page. NASAA President and Wisconsin Securities Administrator Patricia D. Struck said:
"Individuals may call themselves senior specialists to create a false level of comfort among seniors by implying a certain level of training on issues important to the elderly, But the training they receive is often nothing more than marketing and selling techniques targeting the elderly."
Regulators Urge Investors to Carefully Check Credentials of Senior Specialist, NASAA, December 12, 2005.
The Senate Special Committee on Aging is in the process of investigating Old Mutual Financial Network, Allianz Life, American Equity Investment Life Insurance, Society of Certified Senior Advisor's, Piece of Pie Strategic Coaching, and Senior Insurance Training Services. (Charles Duhigg, Senate Panel Investigates How Insurers Sell to Elderly, July 20, 2007); (Gary S. Mogel, Senate eyes insurer sales to seniors, July 20, 2007).
The financial adviser will use one of the above impressive-sounding titles to trick senior citizens into believing he has credentials and expertise. In reality the adviser may be an inexperienced novice in this area who simply took a phony on-line correspondence course. Once the adviser has fooled the senior into believing he is an expert, the adviser will earn big commissions by placing the senior in a bad investment, such as a variable annuity.
Along with "free lunch seminars," the panelist discussed "phantom fixation" which is a tactic fraudsters use to tempt the investor with a vacation or a sum of money. They guarantee that you will make such-and-such an amount of money.
Recently, Money-Track, a public-television series, and Investor Protection Trust, an investor education group, joined forces to conduct a survey of U.S. investors. The survey found that 43 percent of U.S. investors would fall for a "guaranteed return" investment scam. It is improper for a broker or financial planner to guarantee a specific rate of return. Such a promise ignores the volatility of the market and creates a false expectation in the investor's mind. Always remember: rates of return fluctuate.
Did your broker promise you an average 10-24% return? It is generally inappropriate to guarantee or promise any particular percentage of return. Brokers will sometimes use this as a ploy. If you want a large annual rate of return on your investments you will have to be aggressively invested. By tricking the customer into agreeing to a large annual return, the broker is justified in placing the customer in overly aggressive and risky positions.
The "Phantom Riches" Tactic--dangling the prospect of wealth, enticing you with something you want but can't have. "These gas wells are guaranteed to produce $6,800 a month in income."
There are a number of complicating factors at play which undermine the notion of guaranteed returns: trades may occur, accounts may be assessed fees or interest charged for stock purchased on margin, securities may undergo any of a number of capital events during the month, and cash may be deposited into and/or withdrawn from the account at different times during the month. All of these factors affect the level of return.
Nonetheless, Darla Mercado of InvestmentNews.com reports that "[g]iven the investment swindle scenarios, such as the opportunity to invest in an options-trading system with guaranteed returns of at least 100%, 43% of investors said they would take the bait" See Darla Mercado, 43% Of Investors Are Suckers, Survey Finds, InvestmentNews, May 29, 2007.
One of the reasons the "phantom riches" or "phantom fixation" tactic hoodwinks investors is that the actual investment product is so difficult to understand. For instance, it is a challenging task to understand the complexities and nuances of certain annuities and insurance products. This is true even for sophisticated and experienced investors. It is doubly challenging in the case of elderly investors. In this regard, senior citizens are particularly vulnerable to broker misconduct, as they are frequently swindled into complex and inappropriate investments which they do not understand.
Investment firms typically defend securities fraud claims by asserting that the investor knew and accepted the risks of an investment strategy. This defense is less compelling in the context of elderly investors, many of whom lack meaningful investment experience or the ability to recoup losses. Moreover, the debilitating effects of a major illness, along with memory loss and disorientation, which come naturally with old age, work to disable the older investor and detract from the older investor's ability to reason or use cognitive judgment.
Nonetheless, a broker may know that an elderly client is in critical health. While the customer is in this vulnerable position, the unethical broker may take advantage of the customer by placing her in an unsuitable, high-commission investment, without properly explaining that the investment is not be in the best interest of her or her family.

... hungry or because of the ingredients on this medication??
Hello. I keep on hearing that zyprexa makes u gain weight, is this reason because u always get?

Hi, ihung! Yes and yes. In people who experience this side effect on Zyprexa (and other antipsychotics and antidepressants) it is caused by an increase in appetite, decrease in energy level, changes in fat storage mechanisms, gut bacteria, hormones, and a generalized slowing of your metabolism caused by the drug..
Much of the weight gain can be minimized by exercise and good eating habits. For instance food cravings can be satisfied by fruits and vegetables instead of cookies and french fries and increased thirst can be quenched with water instead of sugary sodas or chocolate milk.
If weight gain becomes a health problem a few of the newer antipsychotic medications are considered more weight neutral.
Best wishes, WCV
PS, Not all people taking these medications experience weight gain. I've never gained an ounce on any medications I've taken or are taking.
THANK YOU WildcatVet!!!
I'm with WildatVet on this one. I've never had weight issues with medication, most things , on reflection, have resulted in minor weight loss or just the status quo. That includes Zyprexa which I took for a while ~15 years ago? (I remember that it was newish at the time).

Grammy award-winning jazz music icon, Earl Klugh, became the toast of hundreds of Ghanaian jazz music fans over the weekend when he put up a splendid performance at the Accra International Conference Centre (AICC).
Earl Klugh and his band staged a brilliant performance, proving that when it comes to jazz music, one must work hard to earn the respect and all accolades that come with it.
His stagecraft and creative performance on stage that night earned him the credential as one of the most thrilling jazz musicians in the world.
He lived up to expectation and the fans also fulfilled their side of the bargain by thoroughly enjoying every bit of the show.
The event also attracted a host of corporate executives and jazz music lovers like former President John Agyekum Kufuor, Nana Addo-Dankwa Akufo-Addo, Ken Ashigbey, Fred Amugi, Professor Kofi Anyidoho, among others.
The two-day event also featured other renowned Ghanaian jazz artistes like Ebo Taylor, Ackah Blay and Bernard Ayisa-Victor Dey Quintet, supported by the Jasper Band, Big Wellington Trio, Kyekyeku and Stanbic Rhythms.
Earl Klugh has released dozens of albums; 24 of which have been on Billboard's top-10 list of jazz albums.
His works have received 13 Grammy nominations and his collaboration with pianist Bob James, One on One, won the 1980 Grammy Award for Best Pop Instrumental Album.
As a composer and songwriter, Klugh's credit appears on a wide range of recordings from artistes such as Aretha Franklin, Jamie Foxx, Roberta Flack, Mary J. Blige, Kenny Loggins, Al Jarreau and many others.

Have you met Flavia de Luce? The girl genius/sleuth, whose adventures began with The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie, finds her young and eventful life in discord after the events of Thrice the Brinded Cat Hath Mew'd. In the latest mystery, The Grave's a Fine and Private Place, Flavia, her family, and her faithful, brilliant, and PTSD-stricken family retainer Dogger, whilst taking a lengthy boating outing complete with picnic hamper, snag something utterly unlike the fish they hoped to enjoy for dinner. No, indeed, their catch is a young man—or, was a young man—dressed in tights and wearing one red silk slipper.
In a time when pretty manners were still as de rigueur among the upper classes as witty repartee (think The Crown), the de Luce family is relieved that their sensible plaid picnic cloth can serve as a cover for the corpse once they have safely rowed to the riverbank to await the authorities. Yet before they arrive, Miss Flavia has discretely obtained a sample of whatever the deceased last breathed and filches a clue from the dead man's pocket, managing the last before being set upon by a forceful, wailing older woman. Of course, Flavia (and family) must tarry to answer the local constable's questions—and try to solve the case. But this is not their cozy village. Said constable is suspicious. The innkeeper's wife has a book of secrets, and the reliable Dogger is acting peculiarly and not in the usual way he acts peculiarly.
The Grave's a Fine and Private Place (a quote from an Andrew Marvell poem) is set in the same world as the opening season of The Crown. World War II is not many years over. King George has just died. Queen Elizabeth will soon officially be on the throne. It is a time of change in the nation and its fading empire. It is a time of changes, for Flavia, too, as, despite her penchant for near-death escapes, she is growing up into an extraordinary young lady and one to be reckoned with—particularly if the reckoner has a guilty conscience.
Below, the narrator of the Flavia de Luce audiobooks shares her love for the series and a scene (without major spoilers) from an earlier book, As Chimney Sweepers Come to Dust:

Hey everyone! I thought I would pop in and take an opportunity to share some projects I've created for the new CHA-Summer 2013 releases for October Afternoon. Over the next couple weeks, I'll be sharing more projects, along with projects that I've created "for fun" in my on-going journey to get back into scrapping again. These projects in particular have been some of the most fun I've had creating, in a long time. I think it's partly because of the beauty of these new collections, but also just that I'm finding my groove again.
First up is a page I created for a challenge on the OA blog last week, using the new mini-collection Girl Talk from the Daily Flash line of products. I just love how these collections, accommodate both a 12x12" format as well as have all the right-sized elements to create a gorgeous 6x8" mini album, all featured in the Daily Flash line-up. Here's a look at everything in "Girl Talk".
Next up is tied for my favorite from these mini collections, "All Boy". It is the perfect blend of boyish colors and trendy anchors, again with all the pieces for your own favorite type of scrapping. Here I used the collection for this 12x12" layout.
Here's a look at the entire, "All Boy" collection.
For CHA, most of the design team was challenged with using the new 6x8" sleeves that come in a wide range of configurations for some of our projects. This wasn't a stretch for me, as I LOVE this size and format. If you haven't a clue on how to use these types of sleeves, and haven't purchased my Seasonal Storytelling workshop at Two Peas in a Bucket, it may be a great place to start. I use this precise format for my Fall album in the workshop, and I have to say it's one of my favorite projects I've ever created and I am SO THRILLED that October Afternoon is now creating these awesome albums and sleeves!
For this particular spread, I used the new mini collection "Summertime". I am absolutely smitten with the colors and images in this collection. I know it is one that I will reach for time and again!
Here's a look at all of "Summertime":
Last up, is my projects for Public Library. This is sure to be a favorite for all of us with kids headed back to school in a few weeks. Full of wonderful vintage library and reading images as well as whimsical fairy tale images, this collection has just about everything to create a gorgeous school, or everyday page.
To view the entire Public Library collection, make sure to check out the October Afternoon website, here.
And I'm sure most of you are aware, we have two additional collections coming out; Treasure Map and Silent Night. The likes of which I haven't seen in person yet, but am giddy just thinking about and looking forward to working with!
That's going to do it for me today. I'll be back this week with a few more projects along with my 2nd installment of "What I've Learned". Have a wonderful day and a terrific weekend. :)
