Greg Grossman Heads New Restaurant Beautique at Capri
New York City lounge and restaurant Beautique heads to the Hamptons this summer, as an outpost will open at the Capri Hotel in Southampton. Heading up the kitchen will be local wunderkind Greg Grossman, who will soon turn 20 years old. Here, Grossman discusses Beautique's cuisine, participating in Taste of Two Forks and what it means to eat local.
What are you most looking forward to about being part of Dan's Taste of Summer this year?
Always love being a part of the TOS, it's a great event and a rare opportunity for all the chefs in the Hamptons to get out of the kitchen and see each other, when you normally don't get a chance to breathe from Memorial Day to Labor Day.
One food everyone should try at least once in life:
[I'm a] huge oyster fan. I grew up not liking them at all, but in the recent years have become very involved in the community as an oyster lover. Some great varieties [are] coming out of the Hamptons now, and we will be featuring several on our menu.
If you were to eat at your restaurant as a guest, what would you order?
Hard to narrow it down! The fried oysters are fantastic, cornmeal-crusted and crispy, topped with a whipped potato chip mousse, black truffle marmalade, lemon, topped with paddlefish caviar.
What drew you to work on the East End?
I grew up out here for several years before my parents came out of retirement. I love it out here and wouldn't miss the opportunity to come out and do a restaurant project for the summer. Very excited to work with our amazing team, and thankful to Jon Bakhshi for bringing me on.
Food that defines summer on the East End:
Lobster, corn, oysters, watermelon, scallops, too many other things to list. The simple shrimp sandwich at Breadzilla in Wainscott is definitely one of my favorites from over the years.
If you had two forks in your hands right now, what would you like to stick them in?
Definitely our lobster cooked "En Papillote" in glass paper with yuzu-truffle fondue, caramelized fennel, cippolini onions, Swiss chard and shrimp oil. It's a really beautiful dish that we are excited to serve. Also our fluke ceviche…[I] love the local fluke and Gosman's has been bringing us some amazing product this year.
Favorite East End-inspired meal?
At some point during the summer, we are going to be doing an amazing clambake at Beautique, very exciting and will be really delicious. I always think of them as the quintessential Hamptons meal.
What is your favorite local ingredient?
The local corn was amazing last summer, it appears several times on our menu.
What is your favorite aspect of being part of the culinary culture on the East End?
Being able to have easy access to such a bounty of wonderful vegetable product, amazing seafood, craft dairy products and more. It's a tightly knit community of chefs out here and it's great to be a part of it.
How does going to the Ross School and growing up on the East End inspire your cooking?
The Ross School was a big part of my upbringing. They were very serious about seasonality and sustainability, and did a good amount of gardening and farming. I have great memories of being at EECO Farm in East Hampton with their head chef, Liz Dobbs, and picking herbs in the garden.
How do you feel about being the youngest chef at Taste of Two Forks?
I think we fared well last year, it's fantastic to be included, and we are excited for a great event.
A great meal begins with…
Great company!
Dan's Taste of Summer kicks off with Dan's GrillHampton on Friday, July 17, and continues on Saturday, July 18, with Dan's Taste of Two Forks presented by Farrell Building Company, both at Sayre Park, 156 Snake Hollow Road, Bridgehampton.

Do you want to save more on your daily needs and groceries? Do you want to learn a helpful handful of ways to save money at Walmart?
Despite the ongoing pandemic, Walmart remains at the top of the retail industry with Amazon. This is thanks to the various money-saving options Walmart gives its customers. In this guide, we'll show you those money-saving Walmart tips and tricks and how to avail them.
Keep reading to learn how to save money at Walmart the next time you go shopping.
1. Get the Walmart Rewards Mastercard
If you see yourself as a regular Walmart customer, you'd want to sign up for the Capital One Walmart Rewards card. The card includes benefits like more cash-back options, great first offers, and a 1% safety net.
The best thing about the Walmart Rewards card is the 5% introductory offer. You get unlimited 5% cashback when you shop in Walmart stores or via the app for the first 12 months. Plus, it's a zero-fee Mastercard, which means you don't need to pay for annual fees.
2. Download the Walmart App
Open the App Store or Google Play and download the Walmart app for free. It's a powerful money-saver, especially if you've got the time to browse online. It also offers the Savings Catcher feature, Walmart's revamped price matching feature on mobile.
If you're the type to get distracted and buy items you don't need, the app lets you create a shopping list. It'll help you stick to the list and avoid impulsive shopping. You'll find more awesome features when you download the Walmart app now.
3. Timing Is the Key to Saving Money
The best way to learn how to save money at Walmart is to know when to shop. Look out for sales at Walmart as well as other shopping events. The most typical ones you'll find coincide with holidays and typical shopping seasons.
For example, July is a great month to go to Walmart to shop. The store puts forth this mid-year sale to compete against Amazon's Prime Day. If you're lucky, you might find discounts up to 90% off the original price of some items.
4. Learn How to Save Money at Walmart With Coupons
Couponing is one of the best ways to find small yet powerful discounts. It may take you more time to get the best deals since you'll have to look for and check your coupons. However, the best thing about couponing is that it doesn't take a crazy amount of time to save money.
Walmart accepts most coupons like manufacturer coupons and dollars-off coupons. The important thing is that you present scannable coupons. You can check out Walmart's coupon policy to get more Walmart deals today.
5. Use Walmart's Free Shipping Offers
Here's how to save money on groceries at Walmart, especially if you buy them often. Walmart will let you save up on gas money or shipping fees. Use the brand's free shipping offer.
If you spend $50 or more on the Walmart site or app, you get free shipping. If you don't need to buy groceries that total to $50, have them send your items to a local store. You won't have to pay for the $4.97 shipping fee then.
6. Shop Early
Timing doesn't include the holidays and shopping seasons only. By that, we also want you to go to Walmart early in the morning, especially if you're getting groceries. You'll find a ton of great discounts on food items like meat and produce.
Walmart does this so their older stock can make way for newer produce. It helps them save on wasted products. With a little reworking on your schedule, you also get to save money at Walmart.
7. Refurbished Electronics Will Help Save Money
Do you need to replace your broken mobile phone with a working one? Instead of buying a phone the price of brand-new, get a refurbished device at a lower cost. It'll help your budget a lot, especially since electronics can be expensive.
You can find electronics ranging from desktop computers to wearable tech in Walmart. If you find that what you got isn't working right, you have at least 90 days warranty. Thanks to Walmart's reliable refurbished electronics program, you don't need to worry.
8. Sign up for Walmart's $4 Prescription Program
Do you need to get prescription medication at a lower price to make ends meet? Walmart is offering the $4 prescription program to make medication more affordable. For $4, you can get a 30-day supply of a generic drug.
You can also pay $10 or more for 90-day supplies. Note that drug prices will vary by location and dose. Walmart has a list of generic drugs on the website to help you know if the program covers your prescription.
9. Buy Great Value Items
Speaking of generic, you can always save more on non-medication. You'll notice that Walmart's label, Great Value, is a little cheaper than name-brand items. Try it and you'll see that products from both brands have the same quality.
Private label brands are big in many big grocery stores and retailer companies. One out of every four products sold in the US is a private label or store-brand item. After all, it often has decent quality at a more affordable price.
10. Download Third-Party Apps
Do you feel that you still aren't saving enough? Download apps like Ibotta and Drop to help move along your savings strategy. Ibotta is a free rewards app that offers a cashback program.
All you need to do is to upload your Walmarts shopping receipt to get your cashback reward. Drop is a similar app that lets you choose four more stores. With Drop, you get to save money for free and without being too active.
11. Take Advantage of Walmart's Price Matching Feature
This won't always be available to you, depending on the store you're going to. However, if you can make time to research, it can pay off well. You only need to show proof of the better deal from a competitor like Amazon.
You can do this for both in-store and online purchases. If the Walmart store allows it, you can buy an identical item for that lower price. Read Walmart's price match guarantees first before you start looking for cheaper items.
Save More When Shopping in Walmart
That's it for our guide on how to save money at Walmart. The next time you go shopping at the local Walmart store, try out some of these tactics to get more out of your budget. You may be able to keep some cash or use the extra to buy even more.
But why stop with Walmart? For more money-saving tips, check our other guides to learn how to save while shopping at Amazon and other places. Don't hesitate to read more of our content right here!

BJH: Desert Island Fiction
No, I'm not talking about beach books or that "one special book" you'd take with you to a desert island. I'm thinking here of novels that exclude the world outside the pale, novels with absolutely no sense of what's taking place in the culture in which they're set--and the effect this particular flaw can have on a story.
None of this applies to the short story, by the way, which by its nature is more a slice of life, a work that focuses on and to some degree examines under the fictive lens one or more characters in a particular setting. The short story isn't meant to be a microcosm of the novel.
As an example, let me use a book I read not too long ago. By not revealing the author's name or the title of the book, I feel free to use this particular novel as an example of what not to do. Incidentally, this isn't an isolated case, but something I see fairly often in both the general market and CBA as well, especially given some of today's hurried, sound-bite styles used in fiction. Although this particular story was clever, with writing that "crackled," interesting characters, and enough twists and turns in plot development to keep a reader turning the pages, it seemed to take place in a vacuum. No world seemed to exist beyond the periphery of the characters and their personal setting. In fact, had the author not given the date of the setting in the beginning, even the time frame would have been difficult to pinpoint (aside from some dated speech patterns and costuming). Consequently, throughout the reading of the book I was at least vaguely aware of something lacking, something that served to undermine the overall texture and foundation of the story.
I realize that some authors would plead "immediacy" as the motive for this type of writing, but immediacy has more to do with the closeness, the intimacy of the characters, than with the setting and the wider culture.
An opposite example to the above-mentioned book would be D. L. Doctorow's novel, The Waterworks. The author brought post-Civil War New York City to life in this historical novel without taking anything away from the mystery, the terror and darkness of the story. It could never have been the brilliant, atmospheric work of fiction it is had Doctorow not immersed us in its setting and its culture. Life as it was in the city and in the times pulsated with authenticity and realism. So deeply entrenched was I in the story that ending a chapter and returning to my living room in the present century was almost a shock.
To completely ignore the world at large in a novel is what I mean by "desert island fiction," because that's how the story "feels"--as if the events are taking place on an isolated piece of land surrounded by nothing but water. It exists within a black hole, and so there's nothing to help the reader experience the story in a world any wider than the stage upon which that story is set.
Granted, not every novel demands an intricately developed broader culture. In the series I'm working on now all the stories take place in an isolated community, a small coal mining town. To have given these stories a more detailed and broader expansion of history and culture would have weakened the focus, the ambience and tone that I felt was crucial to the books. Even so, I sensed the need to provide at least a faint sense of period and some integration with the mountain culture and differing backgrounds of the characters.
In both my Emerald Ballad and American Anthem series, however, I needed to develop a much more detailed, extensive historical and cultural landscape for the stories. These were larger books with more characters--many of whom were immigrants--as well as a variety of settings, specific historical events, the ongoing Irish and Irish American struggles, vastly different societies, the music culture of the times, and more. These were stories that could be told only by using extensive "world building." In my novel, Cloth of Heaven and its sequel, Ashes and Lace, one of the plot lines was set in the Claddagh in western Ireland. This involved a culture that no longer exists, but I felt it imperative to bring it to life for these two books, because this was the locale of two primary characters. I discovered that developing the physical place wasn't enough; I also needed to paint as clearly as possible the remote and primitive culture so completely foreign to most readers. Without that, the characters would have merely acted out against a colorless backdrop.
That's my point: we do as much as we need to do, whether we're writing historical or contemporary fiction, to avoid the desert island syndrome in our novels. We have to learn to sense which stories require the most layered, detailed depictions of setting and culture and others that might actually suffer from too much. Otherwise, no matter how appealing our characters are or how gripping and breathtaking the plot may be, our readers will still be aware, on some level, that there's "something missing."
And sometimes that's the very thing that will cause readers to go missing.
BJ Hoff is the author of the recently released A Distant Music, The American Anthem series, and An Emerald Ballad.

The city of Namur, Belgium, recently placed an order for 11 hybrid electric buses and 2 electric bus chargers with Volvo — marking the largest order to date for the company.
The 2 automated electric bus chargers ordered by the public transport authority and operator TEC will be supplied by ABB.
The order is intended as a turn-key solution, meaning that Volvo will be taking charge of bus servicing and charging station maintenance — for a fixed monthly price. The buses are expected to enter service in the city, located in southern Belgium, at the end of the year.
"Electric bus systems is a cost-efficient solutions for cities to reduce the problems of poor air quality and noise. Together with ABB, Volvo has a complete and competitive offer for cities around the world that want to switch to a sustainable public transport system," stated Håkan Agnevall, President Volvo Buses.
"Every year the TEC Group transport more than 250 million passengers. Our social responsibility lies in developing transport solutions that are sustainable. This is done especially by improving the energy performance of our vehicle fleet. The Volvo 7900 Electric Hybrid meets our ambition. Thanks to its silent operation the quality of life for the citizens of Namur will be improved," stated Vincent Peremans, CEO TEC Group.
The press release provides more:
Volvo's 7900 Electric Hybrid operate quietly and free of emissions on renewable electricity for approximately seven kilometers. The batteries are fast-charged in just a few minutes at the end stops and also by the energy generated whenever the vehicle brakes. As a complement, the buses also have a small diesel engine, which increases reach and flexibility. Compared with conventional buses, the electric hybrids provide considerable environmental gains.
Here's an overview of the buses that are being sold (Volvo 7900 Electric Hybrid):
- Can be powered by electricity for up to 70% of operating time.
- Quiet and exhaust-free when running on electricity.
- 60% lower energy consumption than a corresponding diesel bus.
- 75–90% lower emissions of carbon dioxide compared with a conventional diesel bus, depending on the fuel used.

5 SMO Strategies That Can Help SEO Performance
5 SMO Strategies That Can Help SEO Performance
Social Media Marketing | September 10, 2021
Here are 5 SMO Strategies where you can make the most of social media to improve your SEO. Social media is a valuable tool that can help you drive traffic to your website and boost your search rank in Google.
(Image Source: creatopy.com)
You've probably heard about the importance of social media in your online marketing plan. It gives you an incredible opportunity to drive traffic to your website and rank better on search engines (if done correctly). However, social media optimization isn't just about posting links to your content or writing a single blog post announcing your new service offerings. Instead, it's an entire strategy that involves many moving parts and plays out over time. In this article, you'll learn five social media strategies that can help maximize the impact of social media on your SEO efforts and boost your Google search rank.
Create a social media marketing strategy to promote your content
Since social media sites are both a great place for your readers to discover new content and an effective avenue for direct promotion, you'll want to make sure that you have a solid social media marketing strategy. Start by creating one piece of content (e.g., image, infographic, etc.) based around each network. The best part is that these pieces can cross-promote other content you've created and help boost your search ranking by enabling increased linkbacks via social shares. Once your strategy is complete, set up sharing/publishing automation tools so that each time you publish a new piece of content, it automatically gets distributed across all channels.
Increase Brand Awareness and Positive Mentions
Social media offers a cost-effective way to spread brand awareness and promote your content. With tools like retargeting, you can re-engage website visitors with targeted ads that show them products they viewed or deals they may have missed. Not only does social media provide a place for influential people to share your content, but it also gives you access to an engaged audience who wants—and will click—on links that are relevant and helpful. By optimizing your social media campaign, you not only make sure that other sites are sharing content from your site (which helps boost your search rank), but you're also using those same tactics to push users back onto your site (where they'll hopefully convert). It's a win-win!
Build Partnerships
Identify a few influential people in your industry and reach out. If you get them to talk about your company, it can be considered social media optimization as well as help with natural search engine optimization. Partnering with an influencer means they will share content that is relevant to their audience while sharing valuable information that is helpful for visitors and potential customers. For example, if someone was talking about how to pick a new digital camera, you could partner with one of those influencers by giving them a coupon code or free sample just for trying your product.
Establish Authority On Social Media
On top of increasing your search rank, social media can help you establish authority as a brand. Don't just promote what you have for sale—talk about industry trends and share helpful content. Once people view you as an expert, they will be more likely to click through on one of your links, which will increase your visibility on search results pages. By consistently interacting with others in social media channels, you are demonstrating that customers should expect good customer service if they do business with you. Social media isn't about self-promotion; it's about building relationships and establishing trust with others in your industry.
Boost Content Lifespan and Engagement
First, boost content lifespan by repurposing your content for social media channels. Sometimes referred to as content amplification, repurposing is a great way to engage more potential customers and get some quick link backs from different domains. It's also easy and doesn't require any extra time or effort—just one draft, and you can create unique posts for your Facebook page, Twitter account, LinkedIn profile, Google+, Instagram and even Pinterest boards. Of course, it's essential that you don't recycle your same old messages over and over again across these platforms. Instead, develop a few new messages that are specific to each channel you participate in so they aren't too repetitive and drive people back to your website or store for more information.
Choosing which social media channels to invest in and how best to utilize them is essential when creating a social media optimization strategy. Not every channel is suitable for every company, but without a good plan, you'll most likely fail. By choosing which social media channels your business can best maximize, you'll see better results from your content marketing efforts.

Preview 2006: Poseidon
It's hard to think of another foreign director who has absorbed the Hollywood Blockbuster mentality as fully and as cheerfully as German Wolfgang Petersen. Some of us are still partial to Petersen's brilliant submarine epic Das Boot (The Boat). However, he seems now interested only in big-budget, star-driven, special effects movies, like The Perfect Storm, Troy, and this summer Poseidon, a remake of the 1972 disaster movie, The Poseidon adventure.
Slated for May 12 release, and rumored to have cost $140 million, Poseidon stars Josh Lucas (would he ever become a star), the always reliable Kurt Russell, Emmy Rossum fresh from Phantom of the Opera, Jacinda Barrett, Andre Braugher, and Richard Dreyfuss.
After Das Boot and The Perfect Storm, this is the third time Petersen jumps into the water (both above and below). As a filmmaker, he seems adept at depicting a small group of people in crisisand in narrowly confined space. The outdoor battles and sequences of the disappointing historical epic Troy prove that point.
Like Irwin Allen's 1972 film, this updated version once again is set on New Year's Eve and concerns a cruise ship that's capsized by a rogue tidal wave. A small yet diverse clique of survivors includes a former fireman-mayor (played by Kurt Russell), a single mother (Barrett) and her son, a hustler with a penchant for poker (Lucas, of course).
As a group, they have to overcome all kinds of physical obstacles (climbing, swimming, running) and there are of course internal psychological tensions and social conflicts. Petersen assures that his movie will be tougher and more realistic than the 1972 adventure, which was dismissed by many critics at the time as high camp; remember Shelley Winters jumping into the water.

Chapter 7: Kicked out of class
Tang Xiu laid his eyes on his study table as well, just the test papers alone was stacked 2-foot high and the amount of reference books was even more.
It was not only Tang Xiu's table that was like that, at a glance, all the tables in the class was like that. If there was really a need to point out one difference, then it would be that all the books and test papers that was on Tang Xiu's table looked brand new and neatly arranged, while the rest of his classmates' table had their books and test papers piled up in a mess, looking like a disaster.
Tang Xiu randomly pulled out a few test papers to take a look and found out that he could not understand most of the questions. The numerous fresh red zeros on his test paper even made his face turned red.
"It seems that I must resolve the issue with my studies first before resolving the issue with my cultivation technique, or else I would really be expelled from school due to my grades and mum would definitely be sad." Tang Xiu whispered to himself softly before taking out a book from his table and seriously skimming through it.
After having his soul damaged, although Tang Xiu's intellect on Earth was damaged, but his attitude towards his studies was very proper. All his study materials from year 1 to year 3 were neatly arranged underneath his table and Tang Xiu therefore would not need to waste his time and effort gathering studying materials.
As he was from a single-parent family, Tang Xiu was extremely obedient and was diligent in his studies. Since primary school to high school, Tang Xiu had always been the dictator in academic results. He was ranked first in the entire cohort for his entrance exam into Star City (Grade 1) High School, and subsequently in year 1, Tang Xiu had also dominated the entire cohort by ranking first in his final year examination.
However due to a car accident in the first half of school term in year 2, Tang Xiu's soul was damaged and this caused his memory and comprehension skills to fall drastically and would always lose focus randomly from time to time. No matter how hard he tried, he was not able to catch up with the pace in class, thus his results kept on falling until he became the last in his cohort.
If Tang Xiu wants to improve his results, he would not only have to self-learn the content from year 2 and 3 but also relearn all the content before year 2. If it was the previous Tang Xiu, it would be impossible to take back all the glory that should have belong to him using three months, but this wouldn't be of any issue to the current Tang Xiu now.
"Boss, don't bother wasting your effort, us brothers are just not fit to study, it wouldn't be of any use no matter how hard we try." Tang Xiu had only flip a few pages of his book before he felt a hand over his shoulder and a low voice resounded beside his ears.
The one who was speaking was naturally his tablemate Yuan ChuLing. He had still thought that Tang Xiu was affected by Hu QiuSheng's words and can't help himself from looking through his study materials, so he wanted to console him.
Yuan ChuLing was one of Tang Xiu's good friend that was hard to come by and was considered his brother in arms.
Yuan ChuLing's result was also extremely outstanding when he first entered school. However during the second half of the term in year 1, his parents got divorced and after that, Yuan ChuLing began to frantically skipped classes, getting into fights, getting into relationships, and even skipping examination. From an exquisite model student, he became a bad student that teachers hated in a short period of time.
Two years had passed and although Yuan ChuLing had calmly accepted the fact that his parents had divorced, but the harm inflicted onto him by his parents was unable to be salvaged and his enthusiasm towards his studies was also unrecoverable.
"Fatty, let's just study properly, or else……" Tang Xiu stopped his sentence halfway and was not able to continue. The reason why he was willing to go back to school to study was to fulfil his mother's wish, but Yuan ChuLing hated his parents and so would do anything thing that would make his parents feel miserable.
"Ai, forget it, our situations are different, you better study hard and not let down on your mum's expectation. For me it will always be like this for the rest of my life." Seeing that Tang Xiu had stopped speaking further, the smile on Yuan ChuLing's face gradually disappeared as he became downcast.
"Fatty, since you still persist to come to school for lessons on time everyday then this says that deep down you still have the passion of learning. You are only doing this because you want your mum and dad to feel miserable and regret, that's why you are giving up on yourself, am I right?" Tang Xiu stared at Yuan ChuLing as he asked.
After hearing Tang Xiu's words, Yuan ChuLing's expression changed and avoided Tang Xiu's gaze with guilt.
"Fatty, even though I do not know why your parents decided to file for divorce, but during this two years I have seen how much they care for you, they did not divorce because they do not love you anymore but because they feel that they are not suited to be together. If you still continue giving up on yourself, you would suffer and your parents would be in pain as well, so why the need to be like this?" Seeing that Yuan ChuLing was properly listening to him, Tang Xiu took the opportunity to advise him.
If the bunch of experts from the Immortal World saw how earnest Tang Xiu was giving advice to a mortal ant to reflect, then their jaws would definitely dropped to the floor.
This was because the Tang Xiu in the Immortal World was simply too arrogant. Even to his lover and good friends, he did not bother talking to them much, and he was even colder towards strangers.
It was only because Yuan ChuLing had stepped forward to speak up for him in the most critical moment that made Tang Xiu feel touched and caused Tang Xiu to acknowledged and accept this friend of his.
Tang Xiu simply had nothing on his side, his family was so poor that he had trouble with his family expenses, he even had trouble gathering enough money for his school fees, his results were atrocious and was even suspected to be mentally handicapped. Even under all this circumstances Yuan ChuLing was still willing to help and protect him, so this only proves that Yuan ChuLing really treats Tang Xiu as a friend.
"I'm also aware that my parents have their predicament on why they divorced, but I'm still not able to get over it." Yuan ChuLing had an agonised expression when he explained after staying silent for a while.
"Ai, let's not talk about my issues. Previously Tiger Hu had said that he wants to kick you out of this class or expel you from the school, but why do I feel that you are not worried about this at all?" Yuan ChuLing did not want to continue talking about the issue regarding his parents' divorce, so he simply changed the topic.
"My results are simply too atrocious so it was normal for Tiger Hu to be this agitated. Furthermore, don't you think that this class totally lacks sympathy for others? Maybe a change of environment would be good." Tang Xiu smiled as if nothing had happen as he did not put this matter to heart.
"Why do I feel that you have become another person today?" Listening to Tang Xiu's reply, Yuan ChuLing almost thought that his hearing had problems, following that, he can't help but size Tang Xiu up from head to toe.
Gradually, Yuan ChuLing's eyes started getting brighter as his face revealed an excited expression and asked nervously, "your…… Your…… Your mind has become brighter!"
"That's right, my mind has recovered back to normal, thank you for always taking care of me this past two years. As a way to express my gratitude, I have decided to let you seat on the throne of being the last in the class." Seeing the sincere smile of joy on Yuan ChuLing's face, Tang Xiu felt very warm deep in his heart as he punched his fist onto Yuan ChuLing's chest with a light smile on his face.
"Damn…… I'm just simply too happy now, let's go, I'll treat you to some beer, we need to celebrate." After he got a confirmation for his suspicion, Yuan ChuLing was overjoyed and grabbed onto Tang Xiu's arm as he pulled Tang Xiu to the exit of the classroom, ignoring the ridicule behind Tang Xiu's back and also the clear lesson bell that was ringing.
Tang Xiu had the intention to resist but could do anything as Yuan ChuLing stature was three times as big as his. Yuan ChuLing's strength was not something that the current Tang Xiu could contend against.
"Two of you stop where you're going, it's time for lesson so go back to your seats." Tang Xiu and Yuan ChuLing was stopped by Hu QiuSheng just when they reached the exit.
Yuan ChuLing clearly didn't expect that Hu QiuSheng would return after going away. He can't help but froze momentarily as he let go of Tang Xiu's arm hastily and looked at Tang Xiu with an apologetic expression.
One must know that even though Tang Xiu's result was not satisfactory in the past one year plus, but his discipline in school was well-known to be good. He was never absent from any class or play truant, and there was never even an incident of him being late for class before. But right now, he was being dragged by Yuan ChuLing to skip class, so Yuan ChuLing would naturally feel bad about it.
"Teacher, Tang Xiu isn't feeling very well so I want to accompany him to the sick bay, can I take half an hour leave from you?" Yuan ChuLing immediately sprouted out some nonsense as an excuse.
Hearing that excuse, Hu QiuSheng swept his sharp gaze on Tang Xiu from head to toe and asked in a mocking tone, "Yuan ChuLing, do you need me to accompany you to send Tang Xiu to the sick bay together?"
"It's alright teacher, we will persevere for a while and head to the sick bay during the break!" Hearing Hu QiuSheng's bone-piercing cold tone, Yuan ChuLing shook his head in a flurry and pulled Tang Xiu back to their seats.
Seeing that Yuan ChuLing and Tang Xiu had returned back to their seats, Hu QiuSheng made his way slowly to the teacher's desk.
Following Hu QiuSheng's light cough, the whole class turned silent in an instance.
"After discussing with the teacher-in-charge of year 3 in the principal's office, Tang Xiu would no longer be a student of class 5, in the next three months, Tang Xiu would go to class 10 to continue his studies." Hu QiuSheng took a glance towards Tang Xiu and Yuan ChuLing's direction before reading aloud the file in his hands.
Upon hearing Hu QiuSheng's words, Tang Xiu's heart contracted as his face turned deathly white. Although he said that he did not mind, but being kicked out of class and leaving the class on his own accord was two different matter. Furthermore Hu QiuSheng had read out the notice in front of all his classmates, not sparing any consideration for his dignity and feelings. This was like giving Tang Xiu a tight slap on his face, causing Tang Xiu to have an indescribable rage and despair.
Yuan ChuLing also didn't expect that Hu QiuSheng would stop them from going out just to announce Tang Xiu dismissal from the class. This made Yuan ChuLing pant in anger as his face was flushed red, but taking a glance at Tang Xiu's deathly white face, he resist the urge to retort back.
"This is simply too good, with Tang Xiu leaving our class average marks would definitely go up!"
"I have calculated it seriously before, if Tang Xiu were to be absent from the exam then our class 5's average marks would be the highest among the rest of the class. It was because of Tang Xiu's existence that caused our average marks to fall by such a large gap."
After Hu QiuSheng finished reading the announcement, the class was silent for a brief moment before a thunderous applause burst out with some the students cheering loudly.
Hearing the heated discussion in the class, Yuan ChuLing clenched his fist tightly. However Tang Xiu's expression was very calm and did not change at all, as if nothing had happen.
"Teacher, Tang Xiu have already recovered completely from his repercussions from the car accident so his results would improve soon, I plead you to help say a few words in the principal's office to retract back the decision." After staying silent for a while, Yuan ChuLing suddenly stood up and pleaded loudly.
"I have already listened to this kind of promise for many times now so I will not trust any kind of promises from both you and Tang Xiu. Furthermore the principal and the year 3 teacher-in-charge's approved decision cannot be easily changed or retracted. Besides, I do not believe that Tang Xiu have the ability to pull up his grades in just three short months." Hu QiuSheng calmly replied as he glared at Yuan ChuLing.

Will the pandemic see fintech fly or die? email@example.com May 12, 2020 ERP News No Comments Sending User Review 0 (0 votes) Fintechs have found themselves in an unsympathetic investment environment Pandemic fintech Pandemic fintech- There is no doubt that Covid-19 is shaking up the financial market. Big players such as HSBC have seen share prices fall 30%, a massive decline for an FTSE 100 blue-chip stock. Oil prices are often considered the indicator of global economic conditions and they've turned negative for the first time in history. Financial markets are collapsing and – as the recent report from agency brokerage Rosenblatt Securities suggests – there is a real worry about the slowdown in investment. While public fintechs were significantly outperforming the S&P 500 and Nasdaq up until the Covid-19 crisis hit, since the end of February fintechs have underperformed in both stock market indexes. Fintech startups have found themselves in quite an unsympathetic investment environment. Whether this means that innovation will come to a grinding halt remains to be seen. However, fintechs still have an upper hand compared to some other industries and sectors. They have built innovation around the most cutting edge of technologies and are lean compared to some of the stalwarts of their industry, meaning they can be more agile. Therefore, they are in a better position to adapt at speed. Most companies have adapted to a new 'normal', we have all moved to remote working, adjusted operations and strengthened customer services. But whilst the ability to adapt is crucial, the next immediate step is to look into the future and predict customer needs. This insight-led approach is also something that is in the DNA of most financial challengers. While there are both challenges and opportunities ahead, fintech's path through the Covid-19 storm is likely to be a journey worth following.

As I got comfortable in my seat for the Monday-night dress rehearsal of Quad City Music Guild's A Christmas Story: The Musical, I was fully expecting a 24-hour marathon, as well as my ingesting the show only in sporadic moments throughout the day in between kitchen visits to fill up on ham and chocolate. That's customarily how I enjoy the film version. Alas, there was no marathon, or ham, or chocolate. But there was a fun production filled with holiday cheer - and aside from the addition of songs, the theatrical version is a mirror image of the movie.
If any of you are unfamiliar with A Christmas Story, you should really sit with yourselves for a moment and ponder why that is, but the stage musical delivers all of the iconic characters and moments we remember from the film. This touching story is about young Ralphie Parker (Joseph Brune) and his quest to get the ultimate Christmas present on his list (say it with me now): an official Red Ryder, carbine action, two-hundred-shot-range model air rifle. But it also delivers great messages about family and the memories we make.
Music Guild's production, directed by Bob Williams, will no doubt leave you reminiscing about your own family Christmases. At the very beginning of the show, we meet our narrator played by Kevin Pieper, whose voice was quite reminiscent of Jean Shepherd's in the film - very familiar and pleasing to hear. Pieper then brings us into the Parkers' home (with Williams also responsible for the neat set deign), where Brune and stage brother David Cobert, as Randy, shared a playful energy that lasted throughout the whole show. They sounded like real brothers arguing back and forth ("Was not!" "Was, too!" "Was not!" "Was, too!"), but also had some tender moments, as when they worked together to fix their father's prized possession. And while Brune had some volume troubles during his songs at Monday's rehearsal, there were also moments in which he was in very strong voice, particularly in "Ralphie to the Rescue," where he imagines himself an old-west cowboy with his new BB gun.
Raphie's dad, The Old Man (Tim Dominicus), was played with a little bit of a softer edge than the film's Old Man had, as Dominicus' portrayal found the Parker father greeting people with a smile instead of a furrowed brow. But his song "The Genius on Cleveland Street" won me over, revealing Dominicus' character to be more lovable dunce than grouch. Shana Kulhavy takes on the role of the kids' mother, a lovely and gentle soul who keeps the house running, and the performer did indeed demonstrate lovely vocal tone in the touching songs "What Mother Does" and "Just Like That."
Kudos, too, to designer Connie McGinn and the show's costume department. From the pink bunny suit right down to the stocking hats, the costumes were spot-on and just what the movie's fans could have hoped for.
The musical score doesn't quite boast any tunes you'll be singing in your head the rest of the night, but it is full of toe-tapping numbers to get you in the holiday spirit, with the strongest of them "When You're a Wimp," performed after Ralphie and Randy get picked on by bullies Farkus (Ben Klocke) and Dill (Aiden Perry). And it was fun moment when Owen Perry, who plays Flick, tries to sing with his tongue stuck to a flag pole - he was both inaudible and really funny.
Yet the most touching song of the evening was the show's title tune and closing number "Christmas Story," which reminds us that during the craziness of the holidays, it's important to take the time to enjoy them, because these are the memories we keep with us forever. After A Christmas Story: The Musical, you'll surely be nostalgic recalling your own Christmas memories, and if you have children, you'll be eager to tuck them in a little tighter that night. Whether you've seen the film or not, Music Guild's production will leave you appreciating the season, and knowing that family is what it's all about.
A Christmas Story: The Musical runs at the Prospect Park Auditorium (1584 34th Avenue, Rock Island) through December 6, and more information and tickets are available by calling (309)762-6610 or visiting QCMusicGuild.com.

Searching for external knowledge has frequently been characterized as crucial for firm success. However, little is known about how the direction of search strategies influences innovation performance. In this paper, we argue that firms need to specialize their search strategy and that its effectiveness is moderated by research and development (R&D) investments and potential knowledge spillovers from a firm's environment. Based on a sample of >5,000 firms from five European countries, our results show that being open for innovation generally pays off. However, both moderating factors have a crucial role to play: on the one hand, in-house R&D investments are most effective when combined with a market-oriented search strategy. On the other hand, a technologically advanced environment requires firms to reach out to sources of scientific knowledge in order to access highly novel knowledge and to enhance innovation performance. We develop targeted management recommendations based on these results.

You'll learn in this post the most important steps to use saw palmetto for breast enlargement, in fact, saw palmetto is one of the most potent plants you can use for increasing your breast size.
I have written so many articles dealing with this powerful herb that I feel quite bored writing this one because I know what I'm going to talk about.
Saw Palmetto Benefits For Females Breast Enlargement
Table of Contents
Long story short, I guarantee that if you use it properly, saw palmetto is going to increase your breast size.
Yes, you've read correctly, I guarantee you that if you use saw palmetto correctly; your breasts size is going to increase dramatically.
However, we have a big IF here!
You have to be careful; you are not dealing with a weak plant!
It's extremely powerful, and if you don't use it properly, you are going to end up damaging your health, sometimes permanently!
Don't worry, I have used saw palmetto before, and in fact, I'm still using it now.
Once weekly, to be more precise!
And my breasts are looking just short of fantastic!
They are nearly a C size, which is excellent if you ask me, considering that I was barely an A cup in the beginning.
Indeed, when I first started puberty, I had such tiny breasts that I couldn't feel like a woman.
Boys and girls around me used to tease me all the time because of the way my body was shaped.
I looked like a boy, with a big nose and very skinny buttocks, and even worse, I had big ears and lots of eyebrows!
Thanks, grandma!
Although I am blonde, and I have beautiful eyes, nobody seemed to care!
Even though my personality was radiant and I was a delighted person, no one would care about this because I simply lacked the boobs to show for it!
This is what I want to say right now:
If you don't have nice boobs, you are going to get ignored!
I know, very superficial and mean, but it's the truth imposed on us by media and, of course, by other women!
I still remember how people at work used to look at me when I was very skinny and with no boobs at all!
Well, I was just a shadow, nobody cared, and no one saw what I was doing.
Even though I excelled at my job, and I held a crucial position in the office, nobody seemed to care.
So, I'm going to tell you the truth:
When I started looking at ways to increase my breast size, it wasn't because I didn't feel like a woman or that I wanted to be beautiful!
Although this is the truth, I wanted to be looked at as a woman, and I wanted to be gorgeous and beautiful.
But deep down, I wanted to be accepted!
I wanted people to look at me differently and to avoid judging me because I had no breasts.
Yes, I know that this may be very superficial to you.
But I'm coming very clean about who I was, and I want you to understand that I have been there.
I had very tiny breasts in the past, and I was able to increase their size tremendously.
After all, I went from an A cup to C very rapidly, and I felt terrific about it.
So, why am I saying this?
Simply because saw palmetto was one of the best herbs I have ever tried.
And fenugreek as well.
But what I want you to understand now is that it's not easy to use it and it will require one crucial thing from you all the time:
The biggest problem women have when they are trying to increase their breast size isn't that they are not using the right herbs.
Or that they don't have enough hormones!
It's true; these will also influence breast growth tremendously!
But it's the fact that they are not applying themselves daily.
Deep down, they are merely trying to make this into a quick fix!
In other words, they want to have one magic pill to ingest for two days and then voila: they have large boobs!
This is not the case.
For you to increase your breast size, you will need a lot of dedication.
Most importantly, you will need to apply yourself daily and never to forget to use your herbs and drink your tea!
So, let me tell you right now how to use saw palmetto to increase your breast size.
Trust me, it's not that complicated; however, it's going to require a lot of dedication from you and a lot of will power.
The first thing you need to understand here is that saw palmetto on its own is very powerful, unlike other herbs.
I have already mentioned in so many of my previous posts.
That there are many herbs to increase your breast size.
However, they should never be taken alone because they are not very powerful.
Well, when it comes to saw palmetto, let me just tell you that it's one of the best and most potent herbs you can ever apply on your breasts.
Saw Palmetto's Side Effects on Breast Enlargement
It's so powerful that if you use it too much, you are going to suffer from different side effects!
They are ranging from increased facial hair to even a nasty smell to painful and delayed menstrual cycles.
This is just to tell you that you are dealing with a potent herb that can mess up with your hormones very quickly.
So, the first thing I want you to do is always to use saw palmetto in small amounts.
So, let me be very honest with you:
Once you start applying saw palmetto, you are going to be tempted to use more!
You may think that one capsule a day may not be enough!
So, you are going to start taking two or three tablets a day, thinking that you are doing yourself a favor!
When in fact, you are going to suffer from so many terrible side effects afterward that you are going to hate me and hate the fact that I didn't tell you about this herb's dangers.
On the other hand, I don't want to scare you and tell you that saw palmetto can destroy your health!
Because it's not if used correctly!
After all, it's a very safe plant to consume.
Women throughout the world have been applying saw palmetto to both their hair and breasts for probably thousands of years.
With absolutely no issues of side effects!
However, you need to be very careful and never use too much.
So, here is what I want you to do to apply saw palmetto to increase your breasts size:
The first step is to make a saw palmetto cream that you need to apply every single night.
This is probably one of the best recipes you can use.
It's also one of the safest ones to increase your breast size very rapidly.
Saw Palmetto Breast Growth Results
I had fantastic breast growth because of saw palmetto, just to give you an idea of what to expect, here are the results I have witnessed:
Well, after using saw palmetto for more than three weeks, I was astonished by how much growth my breast has increased!
Not just me, but other women have reported fantastic growth as well.
For example, a friend of mine went from 32A to 34B in a matter of two weeks.
I had quite similar results.
However, I have to warn you!
You need dedication, and you need to know what you are doing unless you want to suffer from side effects!
This is the thing I have always advised women to abide by:
Never use too much saw palmetto, especially if you intend to use its extracts or pills.
Saw palmetto could disrupt your hormone levels tremendously if used in large amounts.
You may think that you are doing yourself a favor, and you are going to increase your breast size by ingesting a lot of pills and capsules daily, but you are wrong!
I have been there, I have consumed huge amounts of saw palmetto every single day, and I was never able to maintain my growth.
However, with the techniques I'm going to share with you in the coming paragraphs, I increased my breast size while also maintaining firmness and volume for a very long time.
So, back to my recipe.
Saw Palmetto Oil for Breast Enlargement
You take coconut oil and mix it with ground saw palmetto berries, to obtain a potent cream that you need to apply every night before going to bed.
So, here are the ingredients you are going to need:
First of all, you will need to get one cup of organic coconut oil.
Saw Palmetto Cream for Breast Enlargement
Then, you will need two tablespoons of ground saw palmetto berries.
Heat your coconut oil in the microwave for one minute or until it's completely melted.
Then add to it your saw palmetto berries, keep stirring for two minutes to mix everything very well.
Then, simply leave your oil alone for a minimum of one day in the fridge.
Next, preheat it in the microwave and strain as much saw palmetto powder as possible.
Every night, before going to bed, I want you to simply take one tablespoon of this potent cream and massage your breasts with it.
That's more than enough to stimulate your breast tissue to grow and get engorged with fats and liquids.
Next, let me give you the best saw palmetto recipe to ingest.
And it requires a routine.
How Much Saw Palmetto for Breast Growth
Every morning, after waking up.
I want you to have one cup of water.
This is very important because it's going to rid your body of toxins and other nasty chemicals that have been building up throughout the night.
Next, I want you to have a substantial breakfast.
Consisting of lots of carbohydrates, fats, and, more importantly, lots of soy milk as it contains large amounts of phytoestrogens.
They are the same compounds also found in saw palmetto, which are responsible for increasing your breast size.
Saw Palmetto and Fenugreek for Breast Growth
Now, when you are done with breakfast.
I want you to take two teaspoons of ground fenugreek seeds.
Remember that saw palmetto goes hand-in-hand with fenugreek seeds, and they are extremely powerful when combined at increasing your breast size.
So, simply ingest two teaspoons of ground fenugreek seeds, as mentioned before, with one capsule of saw palmetto extracts, of course, with a large glass of water.
Saw Palmetto Extracts for Breast Enlargement
This is the best and safest saw palmetto dosage for breast growth!
I don't want you to take more because, for us, women, saw palmetto can easily disrupt our hormones.
However, if used wisely and in small amounts with fenugreek, it can do amazing things for our breast growth.
Fenugreek and Saw Palmetto Breast Results
In a previous section of this post, I have shared with you the results I have gained; I went from 32A to 34B in a matter of fewer than two weeks.
I have gained much more volume later on.
This is just to tell you that a combination of both fenugreek and saw palmetto is fantastic to increase your breast size.
You just need dedication, and you need to keep applying the cream when taking fenugreek daily.
Saw Palmetto and Male Breast Enlargement
Saw palmetto is so powerful when it comes to disrupting our hormones that in some guys if taken in large amounts, it can result in breast growth!
It has been used by so many men to increase their breast size.
Just to give you a small idea, there are many forums on the internet dealing with this subject.
I have also advised many guys to start taking saw palmetto to increase their breast size because it works.
For more information on male breast growth, check the following link: https://scienceblogs.com/insolence/2007/01/21/flat-to-fem
Does Saw Palmetto Cause Male Breast Enlargement?
The short answer is yes.
I still remember I have read an article in a newspaper about a guy who was suffering from prostate problems.
Well, he began supplementing with saw palmetto only to discover later on that he started developing breast!
Of course, he didn't want this!
But the reality is that a lot of guys want to increase their size.
And saw palmetto is one of the best herbs you can take to achieve this.
Fenugreek and Saw Palmetto for Male Breast Growth
Of course, if you combine saw palmetto and fenugreek seeds, ground ones, you are going to get amazing results.

I believe that fenugreek seeds, in combination with saw palmetto, can be amazing when it comes to male breast growth.
I receive dozens of e-mails every month from guys thanking me for my advice on this subject because these two herbs are potent.
Fenugreek and Saw Palmetto Dosage for Male Breast Growth
However, to have success, you need to understand what you are doing, and you need a special recipe.
So, if you are interested in increasing your breast size, you need to follow this daily routine:
When you wake up, I want you to drink one cup of water to flush out toxins from your body.
Next, before breakfast, try to take a minimum of five fenugreek capsules, and three saw palmetto capsules.
Then, go on with your life.
And at night, after dinner, take the same amount.
That would be ten fenugreek and six saw palmetto capsules daily.

I reckon junior Neysa "Gaby" Gaston would feel very comfortable sitting on a plane with the lights along the overheads, flight attendants walking along the aisle and the low hum of the engines as the craft takes flight. I reckon she would look down out of the window and see more than a millionhouses down there. I reckon she would see countless families.
At the age of four, Gaby moved to Texas for the first time. Since then, she has changed homes three additional times, oscillating between living with her mother and her aunt and uncle. When one needed the assistance of the other, back on a plane she went.
Such a life will quickly teach a girl that no one can be perfect, but everyone can lend a hand to someone in need. Gaby needed a family, and that's exactly what she got.
In 2007, Gaby had to endure another change. As a fifth grader, Gaby suffered the loss of her uncle, the man she had always called dad. Many would fail to overcome such a tragedy, but Gaby insists she knew it was possible.
"It was hard, yes, but it gets better with time," Gaston said.
What effect did all of this have on young Gaby?
"It made me appreciate how much I love my family," Gaston said, when she realized family means so much more than two children and their parents.
Family means the communities you grew up in, the relatives who cared for you, the brothers you see whenever you can and the friends across thousands of miles who stand by you. Gaby understands that and under all of that is love.
"I keep my friends very dear, and choose those who will love me for me," Gaston said.
It doesn't take much effort to love Gabby. A performer in the ASL Show, a runner on the track and field team and owner of a contagious smile, Gaby seems to have all her bases covered.
From here she aspires to attend Prairie View A&M in Texas and seek out a skill in presenting and promoting.
"I've always wanted to be a talk show host, or maybe, a motivational speaker," Gaston said. "I just feel like I have something to say."
And the message she would deliver above all others?
"Keep your family close."
With a laugh and a smile, that's all she had to say.

The Caucasus Policy Analysis Center (CPAC) is an independent, non-partisan regional policy research center established in Baku, Azerbaijan in 2015. The Center focuses on the Caucasus region as a whole and analyzes the foreign policy environment, regional conflicts, transition to democracy, ethno-religious foundations of the region itself and surrounding territories, regional macroeconomic developments and international economic developments concerning the region.
Three central ideas led to the creation of the Caucasus Policy Analysis Center:
- Advancing the basic understanding of the Caucasus region for wider audiences
- Intraregional integration of the Caucasus region
- Building a knowledge base for regional public-policy makers
The main aim of CPAC is to generate new ideas for the greater development and integration of the Caucasus nations, encourage enlightened public debate on sensitive issues, promote sound policies, and build informed individuals and society as a whole.
The Center utilizes individual qualitative and quantitative social research methods as a basis of its research.

Ava Lions Club 5K, One-Mile Walk Held June 22
Photos submitted
Kindness Matters was the theme for the Ava Lions Club 5K race and one-mile walk event held this year on Saturday, June 22. Participants shown above had just started their walk-run journey, as they departed from the Lutheran Church property, north of Ava, where the race was officially kicked off by Mayor
Burrely Loftin. This is the 10th year for the walk/run fundraiser event.
Bryce Mings, left, was winner in the overall male category, and Gary Emrick, right, male master. Mings and Emrick received camping chairs for placing in the 5K race.
Runners competed by age categories, and medals were awarded for first, second and third place winners.
Participant t-shirts displayed the Kindness Matters and lion theme, shown left. The event raises money for the Sight and Diabetes campaign.
Because June is National Dairy Month, Ed Wittorff with the Dairy Council, brought milk cows and a calf in celebration. He also supplied chocolate milk as a post race refreshment. Adrian Buff offered samples of his locally produced cheeses.

John F. Kennedy once said, "There is no experience you can get that can possibly prepare you adequately for the presidency."
There's no doubt that being U.S. president is a challenging and often thankless job.
While some presidents have obtained near mythological status in American history, others have been swept into obscurity. Instead of ranking the best and worst U.S. presidents, InsideGov set out to find which presidents are historically the most underrated and overrated.
Using the results from 18 scholarly surveys, we found the average ranking of each U.S. president.
We then determined which presidents are historically ranked too high, given their actual accomplishments, and which presidents are frequently overlooked. Note that being "underrated" doesn't necessarily mean a president is good, and being "overrated" doesn't mean a president is bad.
We'll begin with the ten most underrated presidents and move on to the most overrated. (the presidents are ordered chronologically)
#10. James Monroe
Average Rank: 14.2
As the last Founding Father to be president, Monroe often falls in the shadows of his better-known predecessors.
But Monroe deserves credit for his foreign policy achievements, including the establishment of the landmark Monroe Doctrine and the purchase of Florida from Spain. Monroe also maintained a surprising degree of political harmony in the U.S. and even ran unopposed for re-election.
#9. James K. Polk
Average Rank: 11.7
In 2009, Newsweek referred to Polk as the "least known consequential president." But we actually think he is one of the most underrated presidents.
Domestically, Polk stabilized the U.S. banking system and lowered tariffs, but his most notable accomplishments occurred on the frontier. Polk successfully navigated the U.S.-Mexican War and added territory that now includes the states of California, Utah, Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico and Oregon.
#8. James Garfield
Average Rank: 29.6
James Garfield bucked a trend of political corruption in the White House when he became president.
During his short tenure – he was assassinated four months into his presidency – Garfield accomplished a remarkable amount, fighting against the "spoils system" of political cronyism, reforming the Post Office's notorious "star route" rings and appointing African Americans to positions of prominence.
#7. Chester A. Arthur
Average Rank: 26.4
Chester Arthur might be the least-known American president, but he deserves credit for his contributions to civil service reform.
Despite his reputation as a machine politician (which in fact made him one of the underrated presidents), Arthur surprised the nation by passing the Pendleton Act, which banned government salary kickbacks and countered cronyism.
#6. Grover Cleveland
Average Rank: 16.5
Referred to as "His Obstinacy," Grover Cleveland certainly had a reputation as a stubborn, strong-willed leader.
Cleveland ruffled feathers during his first term when he fought against excessive federal spending and vetoed dozens of bills. When he returned to the White House after a four-year gap, Cleveland worked to stabilize the crashing economy.
#5. William McKinley
Average Rank: 16.9
Many of McKinley's accomplishments fell under the large shadow of his successor Teddy Roosevelt. However, McKinley laid important groundwork for some of Roosevelt's reform agenda and expanded America's international presence. He also oversaw the Spanish-American War.
#4. Warren G. Harding
Average Rank: 37.8
Warren G. Harding is not one of America's great presidents.
He may not even be a particularly good one. But his dismal historical ranking seems somewhat unfair given his actual accomplishments.
Harding helped the American economy rebound from a sharp recession and was an outspoken advocate of civil rights. However, Harding's administration was tarnished by several scandals, and Harding died before he could properly address the issues, resulting in his low scores.
#3. Lyndon B. Johnson
Average Rank: 13.3
Johnson's decision to go to war in Vietnam led to his political undoing.
Before his presidency became burdened by the war, however, Johnson pursued one of the most comprehensive domestic reform agendas of any president with his Great Society program and War on Poverty.
#2. Richard Nixon
Average Rank: 30.0
The Watergate scandal overshadows Nixon's presidency, but before Nixon resigned in disgrace, he actually had some significant achievements.
In terms of foreign policy, Nixon participated in the Strategic Arms Limitation Talks (SALT) with the Soviet Union, de-escalated the Vietnam War and was the first president to visit the People's Republic of China. Nixon also transformed the country's environmental policy, establishing the EPA and passing the Clean Water and Air Acts.
#1. George H. W. Bush
Average Rank: 21.4
Bush is perhaps best known for his leadership during the Persian Gulf War, but he also oversaw the fall of the Berlin Wall and the collapse of the Soviet Union.
Domestically, Bush faced criticism from Republicans for raising taxes, but his decision was a necessary step in balancing the budget.
Now, let's move on to the most overrated presidents.
#10. George Washington
Average Rank: 2.7
As the first president and commander of American troops during the Revolutionary War, Washington looms large in U.S. history.
While he is certainly one of America's great presidents, Washington's average rank of 2.7 might overestimate his actual accomplishments as president.
As president, Washington dealt with the insurrection of frontier farmers and the formation of two rival political parties in the U.S.
#9. Thomas Jefferson
Average Rank: 4.6
Like Washington, many of Jefferson's most significant contributions to the U.S. came before his presidency, although his work with the Louisiana Purchase, which doubled the size of the U.S., was a major foreign policy success.
As president, Jefferson's Embargo Act of 1807 had disastrous effects on the U.S. economy and resulted in many American traders resorting to smuggling goods.
However, Jefferson's most questionable policies involved his actions toward Native Americans. Jefferson supported the removal and relocation of Native Americans who refused to assimilate and laid the groundwork for Andrew Jackson's more aggressive displacement policies.
#8. John Quincy Adams
Average Rank: 17.9
The younger Adams had great success as Madison's secretary of state.
As president, though, Adams struggled to relieve high tensions in the politically divided U.S. After a contentious first term, President Adams failed to win re-election, partially due to his support of the "Tariff of Abominations."
#7. Andrew Jackson
Average Rank: 9.6
Few U.S. presidents are as polarizing as Andrew Jackson. "Old Hickory" was at the head of several controversies including the sudden dismissal of his cabinet members, his war against the federal bank and the Indian Removal Act. Jackson even disobeyed the Supreme Court and ordered the relocation of Cherokees to Oklahoma in what became known as the Trail of Tears.
Given Jackson's mixed reputation, it's surprising to see him consistently ranked as one of the top ten U.S. presidents.
In fact, many leaders in the Democratic party are currently distancing themselves from Jackson (and Jefferson for that matter) due to their records on social rights.
#6. Martin Van Buren
Average Rank: 23.7
Much of Van Buren's presidency was spent dealing with a sharp economic downturn and rising tensions with Britain. Critics of Van Buren pointed to his indecisiveness as a contributing factor to both issues. Moreover, Van Buren's harsh stance on Native American land issues led to a violent rebellion from the Seminoles.
#5. William Howard Taft
Average Rank: 21.1
Taft's placement near the top 20 presidents is somewhat surprising given his turbulent presidency. Following Teddy Roosevelt, Taft struggled to continue the reform and conservation agenda of his predecessor. In fact, Roosevelt was so displeased that he abandoned the Republicans, forming his own third party and paving the road for Woodrow Wilson to take the White House.
#4. Woodrow Wilson
Average Rank: 7.2
Wilson deserves credit for his leadership during WWI. The cornerstone of Wilson's post-war foreign policy agenda was the formation of the League of Nations and the Treaty of Versailles. However, Wilson failed to get support from the U.S. in joining the organization and the measures put in place by the Treaty of Versailles helped lead to WWII.
Domestically, Wilson pursued many progressive reforms but his stance on race, which included his open support for segregation, was decidedly regressive.
#3. Franklin D. Roosevelt
Average Rank: 2.1
Outside of Abraham Lincoln, FDR is the highest-ranked U.S. president. While he was unquestionably one of the most influential figures in American history, Roosevelt also made some serious missteps as president that are frequently overlooked.
Some of FDR's New Deal policies prolonged the depression, and the president was unable to curb conflict with the Soviet Union following WWII's conclusion. Perhaps most troubling was Roosevelt's decision to forcefully relocate thousands of Japanese-Americans to isolated internment camps.
#2. John F. Kennedy
Average Rank: 12.1
There's no doubting JFK's ambition and personal charisma. Kennedy is one of the most celebrated figures in American history. While he deserves recognition for his civil rights agenda, Kennedy's accomplishments as president are somewhat limited. Moreover, the Bay of Pigs fiasco was a major foreign policy blunder that severely hurt Kennedy's popularity.
#1. Ronald Reagan
Average Rank: 14.6
While Reagan had several important economic and foreign policy successes, he was not a perfect president. The Iran-Contra affair was a major black mark on Reagan's presidency. Moreover, Reagan failed to curb the rising federal budget deficit.
Final Thoughts
This marks the end of our list of the most overrated and underrated presidents of all time.
Of course, these rankings are subjective, and there are always different opinions, but nonetheless, the presidents in our list definitely didn't get perceived by the public the right way.

For the first 45 minutes, Juventus were looking pretty darn good compared to their last game against Fiorentina. They had the lead after just three minutes thanks Arturo Vidal's 18th goal (!!) in all competitions. Their passing was crisp, their ability to create scoring chances was on full display and had Fiorentina's defense scrambling while trying to stop it.
And then, something happened — again.
Bad second-half tactics from Antonio Conte? Yeah, definitely.
Letting your foot off the gas and enabling Fiorentina to get back in the game? Yeah, definitely.
There's other obviously things that contributed to Juventus' 1-1 draw with Fiorentina in the first leg of their Round of 16 Europa League matchup on Thursday night, but it's safe to narrow it down to one distinct statement right here: The team in black and white that was up 1-0 at the half wasn't the same team that came out of the locker room and proceeded to play in the second half.
Juve needed to grab a second goal and never they did. Fiorentina, much to their credit, just hung around. And with Juventus clearly shifting their play to protect the lead rather than pushing for a second goal, Fiorentina was able to take advantage of it, eventually getting their coveted away goal courtesy of Mario Gomez just 13 minutes from full time.
Stupid Gomez Button. I hate you now. More than ever before.
All of the work Juve did in the first half — especially the first 15-20 minutes — gone just like that. But it's hard to say that Fiorentina didn't deserve it. Juventus took their foot of the gas pedal and got punished for it. Fiorentina is a good team and they'll will make you pay for your own mistakes. Juventus' mistake was letting them hang around for far too long. And because of it, we're all headed to Florence knowing that Juve doesn't have a lead in its back pocket.
#Conte: We're disappointed with the result, but not the performance. We created plenty of opportunities and deserved more than we got. #UEL

That damn second half. You just can't help but make a face at it.
Il commento di Buffon al palo di Matos. #jvtblive pic.twitter.com/9pttofyPOU
— Antonio Corsa (@AntonioCorsa) March 9, 2014
We know what happened the last time Juve were in Florence. But it's not like winning there is impossible. In seven days, these two teams will play for the right to get to the Europa League semifinals at the scene of that dreadful day in October. You know Fiorentina will be fired up since they will be in front of the home crowd at the Franchi. The only question will be if Juventus can answer the call and advance.
Random thoughts and observations
- /grumble/
- Arturo Vidal could have had a hat trick in the first half if not for a brilliant Neto save and then smashing a header off the stupid crossbar. The opportunities to double the lead were there for the taking. Juventus just couldn't get that second goal they oh so desperately needed in the first half.
- Mauricio Isla's game might be Exhibit A of how different Juventus were in the first half compared to the second half. It was a throwback kind of effort from Isla in the first half, taking advantage of plenty of space down the right flank. The second half? Barely a peep. Polar opposite halves for Isla — and for Juventus as a whole.
- Can you imagine what it would have been like if Gigi Buffon didn't make one of those saves towards the end of the second half? Yep, Oct. 20 in Florence all over again.
- How things change from one game against Fiorentina to the other: Mario Gomez did next to nothing on Sunday afternoon. Thursday night? That first touch, that game-tying goal, that frustration that followed. Gomez gave Fiorentina the exact boost Vincenzo Montella was hoping for when the German striker was introduced for Ale Matri in the 67th minute.
- Even though we're all grumpy because of the result, I want to say something: It's pretty nice to have Giorgio Chiellini back in the starting lineup again.
- Have I said how much I missed first-half Juventus during the course of the second half? Because I did.
- I'm off to go bang my head against the desk a few more times.

It is not uncommon for an employer to place a restraint upon a departing employee which typically prevents the departing employee from being involved in a similar enterprise, contacting the past employer's customers, utilising the employer's confidential information and not poaching the employer's employees.
In brief the law is that an employer must have a "legitimate interest" to protect and the reach of the post employment restraint must go no further than is reasonably necessary to protect that interest.
The Courts start from the premise that restraints are void, due to public policy. That is because a person should have the right to practice in his/her chosen occupation trade or profession.
That is not to say that a restraint is not worth the paper it is written on. A carefully worded restraint which covers legitimate interests and is reasonable to protect that interest, is enforceable.
The employer has the onus of proving that the restraint is reasonable and the validity of the restraint is decided by reference to the circumstances that existed when the restraint was made.
What are "legitimate interests". It is clear that a desire to simply restrict competition will be primarily void and contrary to public policy.
The recognised "legitimate interests" for employers include:
- Protecting customer connections;
- Protecting confidential information which is not in the public domain; and
- Restraining interference with the employers existing staff.
Once the appropriate interests are identified, then the area and duration of the restraint must be considered. A restraint which seeks to impose an unreasonably wide geographic area and long restraint will in all likelihood result in the whole clause being declared unenforceable.
Drafting, interpreting and enforcing restraints of trade is a complex area.
