Heart attacks are often thought of as an issue men need to work to prevent. The messages put out in the media are typically aimed at men, and the symptoms they might be experiencing when having a heart attack or stroke.
However, women are more at risk of heart disease, according to the scientific statement published in the American Heart Association's journal Circulation in January, 2016.
Researchers found that more women experience heart attacks than men. And for these women who have heart attacks, they have longer hospital stays, more complications, and die from the heart attack at a higher rate than men. Heart disease is the number one killer of women, though it is not something that garners the attention of many.
Though women may have been left out of the media messaging related to heart disease in the past, there is a renewed push to inform women of their risks. The information women need, though, is not the same information that men need.
The symptoms are often not the same for men and women, and this can lead some women to doubt the seriousness of their signs of distress.
The recent scientific statement illustrated that the causes of heart disease in women may be different, with risk factors like high blood pressure and diabetes increasing women's risk.
The outcomes of heart disease also differ between the sexes, often due to the underuse of medications, and decreased recommendation (and completion) of cardiac therapy following an event.
The lack of knowledge as to how heart disease can present differently in men and women can also cause doctors and other medical professionals to be slower to diagnose heart attack symptoms, to be less likely to give female patients adequate care, or to misdiagnose their heart attacks symptoms altogether.
Women should know that the signs of a heart attack can significantly differ in women than in men.
Both men and women may experience pain or discomfort in the chest as one of the first signs of a heart attack.

Pall Mall RYO comes in a red vertical pouch. It is available in price-marked packs £2.79 for 12.5g and £5.47 for 25g. The 12.5g size uses a laminate pouch to help keep the tobacco fresh.
According to GCS data, over 2.7 million smokers are selecting RYO and forecasts show this trend will continue to grow over the next three years with more smokers looking for value-for-money products. In a separate move, BAT has reduced the rrps for its Samson RYO tobacco to £2.93, £5.73 and £11.19 for the 12.5g, 25g and 50g variants respectively.

Sixth Grade Teacher
What is STEM TQ?
The STEM Teacher Quality (TQ) Institute is an exciting, professional learning program specifically designed for K-8 teachers who teach and integrate science, technology, engineering, and math into their curriculum.
This innovative program brings together teams of teachers for monthly learning opportunities throughout the year. Here you will learn the critical foundation and mindset that all educators need for bringing STEM into the classroom. Furthermore, you will gain confidence as your STEM capabilities grow. You will also see students develop into critical thinkers and problem solvers as they master STEM concepts.
The STEM TQ Approach is Different from Traditional STEM Programs
A 100-hour, yearlong learning endeavor that brings together teams of teachers from regional school districts
An intensive two-week summer institute
Monthly sessions throughout the school year led by STEMpact facilitators
Field trips to area employers to experience STEM-to-career connections
Field activities to experience first-hand how STEM topics can be threaded throughout all subjects and activities
Making an Impact in Schools & Districts
After completing STEM TQ, you will know how to integrate STEM curriculum into everyday teaching methods in your classrooms. We call this STEMitizing the curriculum. As a STEM leader within your school and district, you will make an impact by:
Exploring high-quality instructional strategies that correlate to national standards
Planning lessons/units that are STEM influenced, engaging, rigorous, and relevant
Supporting students to be self-identified STEM-capable learners
Connecting STEM content to the real world, STEM careers, student culture, and student interests
Helping your school/district integrate STEM into the curriculum
Becoming a STEM resource for others
How Do You Fit In?
Teachers serving on curriculum committees, school improvement teams, professional development committees, grade level/department chairs, mentors, or those who rally others.
Formal Leaders
Formal leaders such as an instructional coach, coordinator, administrator.
Educators who view their position as "value added" and provide school-wide impact, such as librarians, art teachers, physical education teachers, technology specialists, and more!
How Can I Participate in STEM TQ?
District leaders are invited to nominate teachers for participating in STEM TQ. Applications are open January through March. While we do give priority to high needs districts, we invite all area districts/schools to complete an enrollment application nominating the K-8 teachers, teacher leaders/instructional coaches/coordinators who would like to attend the institute.
Barbara Pener
What is STEMpact Integration Quality?
The STEMpact Integration Quality (STEM IQ) is dedicated to supporting high-quality STEM integration in school systems, leading to exemplary practices and outcomes.
STEM IQ is designed to help school districts take the knowledge gained by teachers who participated in STEM TQ and share that experience throughout their schools/districts.
Furthermore, district office leadership teams along with lead teachers, instructional leaders, coaches, and principals work with STEMpact facilitators to develop a centralized plan for exemplary STEM instruction. This is a broad approach to integrating STEM beyond a single classroom. Once you leverage the knowledge of STEM TQ teachers and mix that with district leaders' strategy and the guidance of STEMpact facilitators, you can create a large community of STEM-inspired educators.
When planned just right, this STEM "wave" creates meaningful and sustainable change.
The STEM IQ ApproachIntegrating STEM into a school system can be a massive undertaking. With school and district resources carefully allocated, STEM IQ can step in to help fill gaps. Acting as a guide, we are with you every step of the way. We know that every school/district has unique differences and needs. Therefore, we let you tell us what kind of support you need so we can help you achieve your goals. As you assimilate STEM education into your curriculum, you can count on us to be with you every step of the way.
- step 1
- step 2
- step 3
Our School/District Wants to Integrate STEM. How Can We Participate?
STEM IQ is a matching grant program that allows participants to implement STEM programs unique to their classroom, building, and/or district. STEMpact identifies districts throughout the Greater St. Louis region that are committed to taking "the next step" and invite them to participate.

What is STEMpact District Immersion?
STEMpact District Immersion was developed as a response to educators' requests for instructional support at the classroom level. Focusing on three areas – Math, Science, and Computer Science – the Immersion program provides a deep and systemic approach to providing that support.
In this 3 year initiative, STEMpact works with participants on program planning and providing onsite instructional coaches and technical support. During monthly planning meetings we assess progress and evaluate next steps.
The STEMpact District Immersion Approach
Starting and integrating a STEM program into your school district can be an exciting journey for everyone. Rather than going it alone, STEMpact provides a framework to help guide you through the process as you implement your plan.
Our program approach is based on research that outlines the design elements for the most effective professional learning programs to impact student achievement.
Job-embedded professional development
Coaching in the classroom
Collaborative learning with fellow teachers and administrators
Assessments aligned with curriculum and instruction
No matter what you've identified as your "next steps," STEMpact's District Immersion program helps you instill in everyone a new mindset for STEM education. You will benefit from the collaborative nature of the program that brings together educators for shared learning and planning.
Our District is Interested. How Can We Participate?
STEMpact's District Immersion program is by invitation and follows an online/in-person interview.

What people are saying:
Dr. Bird's session Fanning The Flames made me realize my desire & strengths within me to help improve my local Chamber and government. Even though I don't have the desire at this time be on our county council, I do know that my voice needs to be heard. She helped to reassure me that it's good to be heard and to care.
– Deanna Peters Sutton
Attending Dr. Melissa Bird's workshop was revelatory! I left owning a higher level of confidence in my power to influence and impact positive change in my community and the world. My business motivation changed to include political action and support as part of my 'Why'. Choosing to be in her presence will always be a great decision!
– C. Rene Washington, CEO – cRene Coaching
Dr. Melissa Bird's Fanning the Flames workshop is a call to action for anyone who wants to change the world. Missy is overflowing with passion, knowledge, and experience and she will invite you to find a corner of the world you're passionate about changing. Then she'll give you the tools to make it happen. If you have a chance to attend one of Missy's events, you will leave fired up and ready to hit the ground running.
– Becky Drinnen, Adoptee Rights Advocate
You are a strong force and have a lot of insight into helping others find their voice. I love the interaction between you and your Fanning the Flames participants. I enjoyed the questions you ask and the conversations you start, even though I was little shy to contribute. However, because of you and your workshop I am beginning to "clear the path before me" as I get more direction and more inspiration to boost my confidence and push forward in pursuing my ideas. Thank you for being the inspiration that you are.
– Julia Jacobs, Graphic Designer for Two Tables Workshop
I doubted if I was ready for Fanning the Flames but I decided to do the workshop anyway. I realized I do have issues I care about. In fact, I have some flames to fan. I would highly recommend Fanning the Flames to women because I think it's important for women to have a supportive environment so they can identify that they are ready to make a change. Women don't even have to be "ready" to get something out of it. It is great!
– Kris McDuffie
Your enthusiasm and encouragement is the best part of being at your workshop. The fact that you are REAL and can speak us based on your life experiences is the most helpful thing to someone seeking guidance. Your positive attitude can really set a light under someone to actually DO something they think is important for them and their community.
– Desiree Senechal
I love your enthusiasm and would recommend Fanning the Flames anytime to anyone. I really like the visuals, the gifts, the food and the participants and was pleased to be reminded how much stronger women are when sharing. YOU ARE ONE INCREDIBLE POWERFUL WOMAN! Thank you for your work, I am so glad you came into my life!
– Phyllis Mix
"Melissa Bird's 'Fanning The Flames' workshop that she brought to Novi, MI in April did a lot to set my soul on fire. It gave me the resolve to get off my ass and do the things I need to do to make my business (campaign management) a viable business. In the 6 weeks after the program, I've signed a total of SEVEN campaigns to manage, I've brought on a partner to handle aspects of the business, and we're setting our sights on a strategic partnership with a marketing company for 2022 campaigns and beyond with the focus on flipping more seats at the state level to progressive women holding them. This has been burning in my soul for 3 years and after the workshop, I brought it to life. And I'm damned proud of myself!"

Five red earrings for five cousins
Christmas is over and my hands are pretty grateful for that...I've been beading furiously for weeks and now I have one thing left to show you. Or should I say 5. I was asked to make 5 red earrings for five cousins, so they had to be different from one another, not too big, red and a bit sparkly. Unfortunately, caught in the "last minute rush", I didn't take pics of the last 2 pairs. One of them is a copy of my Confetti earrings and you can see here the other one...

Why use a programming language from the 90s when you can use one from the 80s?
MonoHaskell is the future of UX-aware, pragmatic FP. By defenestrating unsound, unsafe Haskell '98 typeclasses and sticking to simple, easy to understand monomorphic values & functions MonoHaskell can be used to write code that type-checks in a jiffy!
$ cd your_work_dir
$ git clone firstname.lastname@example.com:monohaskell/MonoHaskell.git
$ git checkout MonoGHCi
$ cabal sandbox init && cabal update && cabal install
After you've built the MonoREPL you're off to the races, get hacking!
We've crafted some handsome, monomorphically uniform code that is pleasing to the eye and unchallenging to the intellect. We guarantee you will not be forced to learn anything new or your money back!
If you prefer to not have code generated for you, worry not! With no ad-hoc (which sounds mighty dangerous, doesn't it?) polymorphism or implicit parameters you'll be "driving stick" in all of your MonoHaskell ™ code! Also, no macros! Just artisanally, lovingly crafted datatypes and functions in MonoHaskell.
Our promise is that code will never be unpredictable. Because your types cannot change based on how data is used, you'll never be surprised! We take inspiration here from the Ruby community on the "Principle of Least Surprise". The Ruby community has done a great job demonstrating & vanguarding this PLT aesthetic of never surprising programmers. We believe PL technology has gone too far and has exceeded the faculties of the everyday programmer who cannot be expected to understand abstract math with no applications for web development like "Professional Functors" or "Cochoice Yoder Lemmings". In MonoHaskell ™, it's only the tried & true techniques of programmers long-dead that are considered idiomatic. The MonoHaskell compiler will have a "leveller" flag which will administer electric shocks to programmers that write code too advanced for their coworkers to understand. This will improve FP team cohesion and codebase uniformity greatly!
Since MonoHaskell ™ has removed typeclasses, which were never a good idea to begin with, the possibility of a debate over how practical extremely abstract typeclasses like "Foldableish" and "Traversableish" is impossible, MonoHaskell ™ will stay FTP-free, forever! We promise! Don't want to write the same code twice but share our passion for explicit, easy to understand monomorphic code? Consider using m4 macros!
Since it takes no time at all for everybody to learn & use MonoHaskell ™, all MonoHaskell ™ users are on an even playing field. Everybody's vote in design decisions counts equally because nobody ferrets away secret telescope incantations & operators. Also, no operators! All alphabetical letters for declaration names only! You liked Speak & Spell as a kid right? Why not as an adult in your programming language? By-elections are run to decide whether we should recycle more PL design ideas from the 1960s or not.
Having trouble installing MonoHaskell? Check out the OCaml at https://ocaml.org/.

Los Angeles
Rumours about rifts between the stars of HBO's Sex and the City have been circling for years but the actresses always managed to keep up appearances.
Until now, that is. The tragic death of Kim Cattrall's brother last week has shed light on what really went on behind the scenes of the famous show and confirmed the long-held suspicion by many that Samantha and Carrie were most definitely not friends off the screen.
Sarah-Jessica Parker commented on Cattrall's post about the loss of her brother: "Dearest Kim, my love and condolences to you and yours and godspeed to your beloved brother. Xx."
It seemed like a nice, innocent comment but it left Cattrall furious. The actress, who played the fierce Samantha Jones character, branded the former co-star "cruel" and said she was "exploiting our tragedy in order to restore your 'nice girl' persona".
She also included a link to a New York Post story about the "mean girls" culture of Sex and the City, in what looked like an endorsement of what the article portrayed.
The article highlights the rift between Parker and Cattrall as Parker announced there would not be another Sex and the City movie. Another article, in the Daily Mail, blamed Cattrall for refusing to sign up for another film to add to the franchise.
Kim Cattrall commented: "Woke 2 a
@MailOnline storm! The only 'demand' I ever made was that I didn't want to do a 3rd film…. and that was back in 2016."
Those two articles seem to open the floodgates with a lot more press recently making Cattrall the villain over the death of the Sex and the City franchise.
"Same st, different day," a friend of Cattrall's told a New York Post reporter this week.
Except this time it was a bit different because, instead of letting rumours be rumours, Cattrall booked an interview with Piers Morgan and opened up about it all.
"The answer was always no," Cattrall said. "I never asked for any money, I never asked for any projects. To be thought of as some kind of diva is ridiculous."
She told Morgan that she had no idea when she last spoke to her co-stars. She also said no one had approached her when the reports began circulating about her holding up the film.
"Nobody ever picks up the phone and tries to contact you and say, 'How you doing?' That would have been the way to handle it," she added. "This is, it feels like, a toxic relationship."
Tensions between the two reportedly started years ago when Parker did not like the attention Cattrall was getting.

With the other girls taking Parker's side, Cattrall is said to have felt left out for years. She reluctanctly signed up for the first two movies but always refused to do a third one.
Cattrall, who is now 61, told Morgan she is not up for making sacrifices for her career any more. "This is what my 60s are about: They're about me making decisions for me. Not my career, for me. And that feels frickin' fantastic." New Zealand Herald

Amazon announced they are opening major new offices in Arlington, Virginia and New York City. Each site will hold 25,000 new Amazon employees at an average salary above $150,000. Getting to that level with take many years, next year under 1,000 employees will be at each site.
I lived in Arlington for many years and own rental property there. The Amazon decision is likely to catalyze a much more rapid ascent of the technology sector in the DC area. The DC area has a strong foundation of internet technology to build upon, though many people are not aware of this. The Amazon move will likely help shift the perception of the DC area as government driven and the growth of internet technology activity in the area is likely to grow rapidly.
The 25,000 jobs (even with a greater than average salary of $150,000) isn't the main impact of the announcement. The big news is the likelihood of Amazon's highly visible efforts catalyzing more tech businesses (especially 5-7 years down the road when some of the Amazon people start creating their own startups). It isn't that Amazon is moving into a barren tech landscape, there is already a strong base from which to launch a long term tech boost to the DC area economy.
The direct impact of Amazon's employees renting and buying in and around Arlington is not going to be very strong for a couple years. Amazon plans to add 500 people to Arlington in 2019; 1,000 more in 2020 and 2,000 more in 2021. But investors already can plan for a strong future demand from Amazon and all the activity that Amazon's growing presence will contribute to.
The increase in housing prices in 2019 and 2020 will be primarily investor driven. In 2020, 2021 and going forward the impact of Amazon employees directly and all the extra activity spurred on will start to have an impact. Unlike the stock market where such a predicable strong investment future would drive prices up say 30-50% immediately, in real estate it is much more likely for the gains to be spread out over the long term.
If prices in housing increase in Arlington it is more likely they would increase say 10% in the first year and then an extra 3% (above what the increase would have been without Amazon's move) each of the next 10 years. From a long term investors perspective this provides a great possibility for buying now (even after the news) and not having to pay a huge premium.
Rental housing prices are not likely to go up much immediately. And they will take longer to show up in the market, they will be much more closely tied to new job additions (from Amazon and others). So investors have to pay a higher price today (say 5-10% higher) and in the first 1 or 2 years probably see no higher rents than they would have otherwise. And even after 2021 those rents are likely to go up more slowly than prices of real estate.
The number of USA households spending more than 50% of their income on rent is expected to rise at least 11% to 13.1 million by 2025, according to new research by Harvard University's Joint Center for Housing Studies and Enterprise Community Partners.
The findings suggest that even if trends in incomes and rents turn more favorable, a variety of demographic forces—including the rapid growth of minority and senior populations—will exert continued upward pressure on the number of severely cost-burdened renters.
Under the report's base case scenario for 2015-2025, the number of severely burdened households aged 65-74 and those aged 75 and older rise by 42% (830,000 to 1.2 million) and 39% (890,000 to 1.2 million); the number of Hispanic households with severe renter burdens increases 27% (2.6 million to 3.4 million); and the number of severely burdened single-person households jumps by 12% (5.1 million to 5.7 million).
Enterprise Community Partners argues for more government action on affordable housing. I am worried about such efforts being done in a sensible way but I do agree with the concept of supporting affordable housing. I would use zoning to require affordable housing construction along with market rate housing.
Doing such things well requires a government that is not corrupt and fairly competent which isn't so easy looking across the USA (unfortunately). An example of somewhere that does this fairly well is Arlington Country, Virginia (which also has a good non-profit focused on affordable housing). Good non-profits can play a vital part in affordable housing over the long term.
When you sell your primary residence in the USA you are able to exclude $250,000 in capital gains (or $500,000 if you file jointly). The primary test of whether it is your primary residence is if you lived there 2 of the last 5 years (see more details from the IRS). You can't repeat this exemption for 2 years (I believe).
It doesn't matter if you buy another house or not, that exclusion of up to $250,000 is all that can be excluded (you must pay tax on anything above that amount – taxed at capital gains rates for long term gains).
For investment property you can do 1031 exchanges which defers capital gains taxes. Otherwise capital gains will be taxed as you would expect (as capital gains).
When you inherit a house the tax basis will be "stepped up" to the current market rate. So if you then sell your basis isn't what the owner paid for it, but what it was worth when it was given to you.

I continue to believe the choices for investors are much more challenging than they normally are, as I have written about several times. Though maybe soon, this will just be the new normal (in which case investors won't have the fairly easy choices they have had for much of the last 100 years).
In previous posts I have discussed the value of real estate investments in this investing climate. Real estate is one way to cope with the challenges of extremely low yields today.
There are many advantages to city property, in the right city. When I was looking at my first house I looked for something that would be easy to rent out. The most important factor to minimize vacancy is high demand. If there is high demand, the worst you should face is the need to lower your asking price.
An additional consideration in buying condos (your only option in large urban centers like New York City, seen in my photo of the Empire State Building) are condo fees. Fees and taxes can make positive cash flow a challenge and they continue when the property is vacant thus creating more risk for the investor. Of course, in popular markets and good times rents are very attractive for owners and price increases can make them great investments.
During downturns rental property that is not in high demand can be vacant no matter the price. And those properties with some, but not overwhelming, demand will face the need for dramatic rent decreases to minimize vacancy (and large declines if you need to sell). My purchase was 3 blocks from a metro stop (close in to Washington DC). All housing near metro stops in DC have high demand and that close in to the city has even higher demand.
In over 10 years I have had maybe 2 months of vacancy – the first year I messed up; I was new to trying to rent places out and believed people were going to sign the lease because they said they would but then they backed out. I think I may have had 1 more month sometime, but maybe not, I can't really remember.
I have considered tourist property but have decided against it so far. The rental yield are higher but you have higher vacancy rates, which is manageable, but also much more property management issues to deal with. In order to cope with that you need to hire a property manager, very carefully. You need to carefully check their experience, reliability and competence.
And even for residential real estate the hassles of dealing with the property management yourself may lead investors to use property managers. This cuts into the advantages of direct real estate investments and so if you are going to use property managers then looking at REITs has to be considered. I believe if you are sensible direct real estate investments would normally return more but the risks are significantly higher and the hassle is somewhat to significantly higher. Likely the decision on whether to use direct real estate investing is more about personal preference than just a decision on which option would be a better investment.
Brett Arends writes about the investment portfolio he uses?
It's 10% each in the following 10 asset classes:
- U.S. "Minimum Volatility" stocks
- International Developed "Minimum Volatility" stocks
- Emerging Markets "Minimum Volatility" stocks
- Global natural-resource stocks
- US Real Estate Investment Trusts
- International Real Estate Investment Trusts
- 30-Year Zero Coupon Treasury bonds
- 30-Year TIPS
- Global bonds
- 2-Year Treasury bonds (cash equivalent)
This is another interesting portfolio choice. I have discussed my thoughts on portfolio choices several times. This one is again a bit bond heavy for my tastes. I like the global nature of this one. I like real estate focus – though as mentioned in previous articles how people factor in their personal real estate (home and investments) needs to be considered.

This is a startling piece of data, from The nagging fear that QE itself may be causing deflation:
The situations have many differences, for example, China is a poor country growing rapidly, Japan was a rich country growing little (though in 1990 it showed more growth promise than today). Still this one of the more interesting pieces of data on how much a bubble China real estate has today. Japan suffered more than 2 decades of stagnation and one factor was the problems created by the real estate price bubble.
The global economic consequences of the extremely risky actions taken to bail out the failed too-big-too-fail banks including the massive quantitative easing are beyond anyones ability to really understand. We hope they won't end badly that is all it amounts to. Noone can know how risky the actions to bail out the bankers is. The fact we not only bailed them out, but showered many billions of profit onto them (even after taking billions in fines for the numerous and continuing violations of law by those bailed out bankers), leaves me very worried.
It seems to me we have put enormous risk on and the main beneficiaries of the policies are the bankers that caused the mess and continue to violate laws without any consequences (other than taking a bit of the profit them make on illegal moves back sometimes).
The West ignored pleas for restraint at the time, then left these countries to fend for themselves. The lesson they have drawn is to tighten policy, hoard demand, hold down their currencies and keep building up foreign reserves as a safety buffer. The net effect is to perpetuate the "global savings glut" that has starved the world of demand, and that some say is the underlying of the cause of the long slump.
I hope things work out. But I fear the extremely risky behavior by the central banks and politicians could end more badly than we can even imagine.

Dylan Grice suggests the Cockroach Portfolio: 25% cash; 25% government bonds; 25% equities; and 25% gold. What we can learn from the cockroach
Government bonds protect against deflation (provided your money's invested in solid government bonds and not trash). Equities offer capital growth and income. And gold, as we know, protects against currency depreciation, inflation, and financial collapse. It's vitally important to maintain holdings in each, in my opinion.
The beauty of a 'static' allocation across these four asset classes is that it removes emotion from the investment process.
I don't really agree with this but I think it is an interesting read. And I do agree the standard stock/bond/cash portfolio model is not good enough.
I would rather own real estate than gold. I doubt I would ever have more than 5% gold and only would suggest that if someone was really rich (so had money to put everywhere). Even then I imagine I would balance it with investments in other commodities.
One of the many problems with "stock" allocations is that doesn't tell you enough. I think global exposure is wise (to some extent S&P 500 does this as many of those companies have huge international exposure – still I would go beyond that). Also I would be willing to take some stock in commodities type companies (oil and gas, mining, real estate, forests…) as a different bucket than "stocks" even though they are stocks.
And given the super low interest rates I see dividend paying stocks as an alternative to bonds.
The Cockroach Portfolio does suggest only government bonds (and is meant for the USA where those bonds are fairly sensible I think) but in the age of the internet many of my readers are global. It may well not make sense to have a huge portion of your portfolio in many countries bonds. And outside the USA I wouldn't have such a large portion in USA bonds. And they don't address the average maturity (at least in this article) – I would avoid longer maturities given the super low rates now. If rates were higher I would get some long term bonds.
These adjustments mean I don't have as simple a suggestion as the cockroach portfolio. But I think that is sensible. There is no one portfolio that makes sense. What portfolio is wise depends on many things.
Based on my thoughts on killing the Goose laying golden eggs in Iskandar Malaysia posted on a discussion forum. The government has instituted several several policies to counteract a bubble in luxury real estate prices in the region (new taxes on short term capital gains in real estate [declining amounts through year 6]), increasing limits on purchases by foreigners, new transaction fees (2% of purchase price?) for real estate transactions, requirements for larger down-payments from purchasers…
Iskandar is 5 times the size of Singapore and is in the state of Johor in Malaysia. Johor Bahru is the city which makes up much of Iskandar but as borders are currently drawn Iskandar extends beyond the borders of Johor Bahru.
The prospects for economic growth in Iskandar Malaysia in the next 5, 10 and 15 years remain very strong. They are stronger than they were 5 years ago: investments that produce economic activity (theme parks, factories, hospitals, hotels, retail, film studio…) have come online and more on being built right now.
Cooperation with Singapore is the main advantage Iskandar has (Iskandar is next to the island of Singapore similar to those areas surrounding Manhattan). It provides Iskandar world class advantages that few other locations have (it is the same advantages offered by lower cost areas extremely close to world class cities – NYC, Hong Kong, London, San Francisco etc.). Transportation connections to Singapore are critical and have not been managed as well as they should have been (only 2 bridges exist now and massive delays are common). A 3rd link should be in place today (they haven't even approved the location yet).
A MRT connection to Singapore (Singapore's subway system) should be a top priority of anyone with power interested in the future economic well being of Iskandar and Johor. Johor Bahru doesn't have a light rail system yet this would be the start of it. It has been "announced" as planned for 2018 but not officially designated or funded yet.
There are many asset allocation strategies; which often are pretty similar. In general they oversimplify the situation (so an investor needs to study and adjust them to their situation – though most don't do this, which is a problem). In general, I think asset allocation suggestions are too heavily weighted on bonds, and that is even more true today in the current environment – of could that is just my opinion.
I ran across this suggested allocation in Eyewitness to a Wall Street mugging which I think has several good values.
- It focuses on low fee, market index funds. Fees are incredibly important in determining long term investment success
- It has lower bond allocation than normal
- It has more international exposure than many – which I think is wise (this suggested portfolio is for those in the USA, USA portion should be lowered for others)
- It includes real estate (some suggested allocations miss this entirely)
In my opinion this allocation should be adjusted as you get closer to retirement (put a bit more into more stable, income producing investments).
My personal preference is to use high quality dividend stocks in the current interest rate environment. I would buy them myself which does require a bit more work than once a year rebalancing that the lazy golfer portfolio allows.
I would also include 10% for Vanguard emerging markets fund (VWO) (for sake of a rule of thumb reduce Inflation Protected Securities Fund to 10% if you are more than 10 years from retirement, when between 10 and 1 year from retirement put Inflation Protected Securities Fund at 15% and Total Stock Market Index Fund at 35%, when 1 year from retirement or retired lower emerging market to 5% and put 5% in money market.
Depending on your other assets this portfolio should be adjusted (large real estate holdings [large net value on personal home, investment real estate…] can mean less real estate in this portfolio, 401k holdings may mean you want to tweak this [TIAA CREF has a very good real estate fund, if you have access to it you might make real estate a high value in your 401k and then adjust your lazy portfolio], large pension means you can lower income producing assets, how close you are to retirement, etc.).
The Lazy Golfer Portfolio (Annually rebalance the fund on your birthday and ignore Wall Street for the remaining 364 days of the year) contains 5 Vanguard index funds
- 40% Total Stock Market Index Fund (VTSMX)
- 20% Total International Stock Index Fund (VGTSX)
- 20% Inflation Protected Securities Fund (VIPSX)
- 10% Total Bond Market Index Fund (VBMFX)
- 10% REIT Index Fund (VGSIX)

Printing money (and the newer fancier ways to introduce liquidity/capital) work until people realize the money is worthless. Then you have massive stagflation that is nearly impossible to get out from under. The decision by the European and USA government to bail out the too big to fail institutions and do nothing substantial to address the problem leaves an enormous risk to the global economy unaddressed and hanging directly over our heads ready to fall at any time.
The massively too big to fail financial institutions that exist on massive leverage and massive government assistance are a new (last 15? years) danger make it more likely the currency losses value rapidly as the government uses its treasury to bail out their financial friends (this isn't like normal payback of a few million or billion dollars these could easily cost countries like the USA trillions). How to evaluate this risk and create a portfolio to cope with the risks existing today is extremely challenging – I am not sure what the answer is.
Of the big currencies, when I evaluate the USA $ on its own I think it is a piece of junk and wouldn't wan't my financial future resting on it. When I look at the other large currencies (Yen, Yuan, Euro) I am not sure but I think the USD (and USA economy) may be the least bad.
In many ways I think some smaller countries are sounder but smaller countries can very quickly change – go from sitting pretty to very ugly financial situations. How they will wether a financial crisis where one of the big currencies losses trust (much much more than we have seen yet) I don't know. Still I would ideally place a bit of my financial future scattered among various of these countries (Singapore, Australia, Malaysia, Thailand, Brazil [maybe]…).
Basically I don't know where to find safety. I think large multinational companies that have extremely strong balance sheets and businesses that seem like they could survive financial chaos (a difficult judgement to make) may well make sense (Apple, Google, Amazon, Toyota, Intel{a bit of a stretch}, Berkshire Hathaway… companies with lots of cash, little debt, low fixed costs, good profit margins that should continue [even if sales go down and they make less they should make money – which many others won't]). Some utilities would also probably work – even though they have large fixed costs normally. Basically companies that can survive very bad economic times – they might not get rich during them but shouldn't really have any trouble surviving (they have much better balance sheets and prospects than many governments balance sheets it seems to me).
In many ways real estate in prime areas is good for this "type" of risk (currency devaluation and financial chaos) but the end game might be so chaotic it messes that up. Still I think prime real estate assets are a decent bet to whether the crisis better than other things. And if there isn't any crisis should do well (so that is a nice bonus).
Basically I think the risks are real and potential damage is serious. Where to hide from the storm is a much tricker question to answer. When in that situation diversification is often wise. So diversification with a focus on investments that can survive very bad economic times for years is what I believe is wise.

text: AlishaAzure 411 Posted September 27 @MattScott So.. why should i open a ticket in the first place? It is important right? Helping out the company, give them feedback, report a player, reports bugs, getting help about tech issues etc. Well, today, im going to explain exactly why is useless sending a support ticket in 2019. 1. 95%+ of All tickets get copy pasted messagges; Example: "Hi Your Name/Email Address, I would be happy to help you out and I apologize for the delay. We have been doing our best answering the concerns of the community. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. I'll note this issue and forward this feedback to the development team, as we're always working hard to improve APB: Reloaded. Thanks, Name" 2. Only Lixil and Ritual give more detailed replies, other seems bots/automated responses; 3. You need to wait ages for them to answer and then (i repeat) you get an automated/copy pasted message + automatically the ticket get closed; 4. You don't even know if they really check the things you share with them (because most of my bugs reports sent more than 5 months ago didn't even got fixed yet), and they weren't so difficult to (supposing). 5. I had 5/6 tickets opened regarding different argoments, issues, and i got the same answer, to All of them, in less than 5 seconds, so.. basically this bot/guy or whoever is, just CTRL+C and V everywhere? Congrats. I am so tired about that, reminds me of G1, same story but with LO now. Listen.. im not asking about 10 pages full of super detailed paragraphs and informations about my ticket, just put a bit more effort into them. That should be the job of who is behind the support, i don't think you only need to copy paste. Of course the support was so fast back then.. I wish to have a proper answer to all that, i see this as problem, because if you guys want to communicate with the community and want to be sure to stay in contact and let us understand what you are going to do, this isn't the right way. 4 4 1 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Another big character coming from Brick89's list, which is almost at its end: Mr. Mxyzptlk, one of the most annoying DC "villains" (as a villain he can be considered) ever. The pesky Imp never appeared in a movie, but tv apparently loves him: he first appeared in Superboy, portrayed by Michael J. Pollard, in a version that was practically identical to his comicbook counterpart, even graphically, with bowler hat and everything. In Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, Howie Mandel portrayed a much more malicious version of the character, this time human-sized and with no trademark: he trapped Lois, Clark and the rest of the world in a time loop leading to the planet's destruction, but the two protagonists managed to trick him into spelling his name backwards, thus sending him back to his dimension for good. In Smallville a completely different version appeared: in Season 4 Trent Ford portrayed Mikhail Mxyzptlk, a foreigner student from the Balcans with the ability to influence anybody's body (Clark's included) into doing anything he says; Chloe manages to strip him of his powers with a particular sound frequency, but Lex Luthor offers to restore them in his labs. Last but not least, we'll soon see the Imp in Supergirl as well, portrayed by Peter Gadiot, and apparently also this time he'll look like a regular guy. Now, let's take a look at one of the most peculiar characters in the DC Comics.
It's quite difficult to summarize a bio of someone like Mister Mxyzptlk, considering that he's a native from the Fifth Dimension (called a Zrfffian), not bound by limits of space, time or even logical consistency. Apparently, in New Earth, the first time he came to Earth was as a serious and uptight student who wanted to learn as much as he could of the alien dimension. During his study trip he met the three young heroes from Young Justice, Robin, Impulse and Superboy, who recognized him as the interdimensional prankster who had been tormenting for years Earth's greatest hero, Superman. The young Mxyzptlk was simply outraged, as he didn't recognize himself in the description, quite the opposite: he swore he would have never become that person. This, unfortunately, badly affected the timeline, creating a major paradox: as a result, the world itself risked to be destroyed thanks to the three heroes' intervention. Trying to save the universe, Robin, Impulse and Superboy decided to put Mxyzptlk under a "prankster therapy", and they made him watch a video of the Three Stooges, until the young Imp fell in love with the stupid jokes and pranks of the comedians, triggering the evolution into the well-known trickster everybody loved to hate. If this was the actual origin of the pesky Imp, or just an elaborate ruse from Mxyzptlk to mock the young heroes, remains a mystery. Being it a way or the other, when Mister Mxyzptlk came back to Earth, he was a full grown adult, and he was an immortal being growing constantly bored of his eventless existence. When he first met Superman, he found in the invincible hero a great way to spend his time, and made him the constant target of tricks and challenges, involving him in a series of ridiculous and impossible misadventures the Man of Steel usually emerged from by tricking the Imp into spelling his name backwards (the nearly unpronounceable Kltpzyxm), thus forcing him to come back to the Fifth Dimension for ninety days at least. This game was the one thing that kept Mxyzptlk happy, despite his many failures, and he took quite some joy into mocking the most powerful hero of the three-dimensional world. Then, the Crisis on Infinite Earths happened.
When the multiverse became a universe, Mr. Mxyzptlk emerged from the cosmic cataclysm pretty much unchanged and unscathed, with his pesky and annoying nature being exactly the same. He resurfaced in Metropolis posing as a human, Ben Deroy (or DeRoy); just to mess with Superman, he seduced his love interest Lois Lane, and convinced her to marry him, but he was exposed as an Imp by the hero just in time. As usual, to be sent back home he challenged Superman into making him spell his name backwards, and among all his aliases he chose the impossible "Mxyzptlk", spelling it on a giant typewriter, believing it to be impossible for the hero to make him say something like "Kltpzyxm". Superman actually managed to do it by taking away the first paper with the name written on it and challenging the Imp into writing it again… in the meanwhile rewiring the typewriter, so that when Mxyzptlk used his magic to type again the exact same keys, his name appeared spelled backwards. In the new universe, however, this trick could only work once, as each time Mxyzptlk appeared the conditions to send him back home changed, even if the urgency of interrupting his absurd games before he hurt someone was always the same (once, for example, he animated the Daily Planet building just for fun… but all the people inside it weren't having as much fun as he was, obviously): from painting his face blue to finding him in a world-wide hide and seek game, Superman found himself forced to fulfill a number of conditions for winning the Imp's games. The only constant in the challenges was the honesty showed by Mxyzptlk in respecting his own rules… but that changed as well. On Earth during Superman's absence, the Imp found a substitute to annoy in the hero's nemesis, Lex Luthor, but with the mogul the game turned out to be much more different that the usual one, as Luthor easily exploited Mxyzptlk's honesty to trick him faster than Superman ever could… thus, however, teaching him what a lie was. The following time, Mxyzptlk forced Superman to have a race around the world with The Flash, telling the latter he would have left only if Superman (the slowest among the two) won… while the rule he magically cast told the exact opposite. Not bound to truth anymore, there was a whole new universe of fun to explore for the Imp…
Mr. Mxyzptlk (real name unknown, but even more unpronounceable than the one he chose on Earth) is not exactly an evil being, rather being simply annoying, an immortal Imp who just wants to have fun, especially if at someone else's expenses. Despite his puckish attitude, he's actually one of the most powerful beings in the universe, an interdimensional sorcerer able to bend reality itself, who ignores and manipulates space and time, who can subvert any known physical law; he's also aware of his nature as a comicbook, and sometimes he talks directly to the authors to modify the stories involving him. Luckily enough, Mxyzptlk is childish and immature, and is not interested into killing his adversaries or even causing serious damage… that wouldn't be fun. If he acted seriously just for a moment, without limiting his own powers with rules of his invention, the universe itself would be in dire danger.

If you have an AppleID account be cautious of a new phishing scam which has been making it's rounds. Phishing emails were sent out last month around Christmas day informing them that their AppleID billing information is out of date.
Recipients were then invited to clink on a link "http://store.apple.com/" where they were redirected to a realistic Apple looking sign-in page. The email is very realistic looking and includes the Apple logo and template similar to Apple email correspondence – these guys are good!
Should you receive an email from Apple or the Apple Store requesting you update your AppleID billing information – Ignore It! Tell your friends, family and colleagues also about this scam to avoid them from being tricked.
Any changes, verification or updates to your AppleID account should only be done by logging into your Apple Account on Apple's website and not by clicking a link in a email. If your billing or credit card information is not up to date, Apple will give you an onscreen message when you are using their secure on-line checkout – that's the only time you should make changes to your AppleID account.
The same holds true for password information, if you receive an email message that your AppleID password has been compromised don't click the link in the email but instead open your browser and go to your Apple store website or MobileMe or Apple ID site and login in and administer your account directly on their secure server. Clicking a link in an email can re-direct you to a malicious Phishing Site which can then gather your personal information and hack into your AppleID account.
Be Safe, Be Smart and stay Secure.

Leon Loughridge1952 –
Spring Storm – Mt. Evans
Leon Loughridge (1952 – ). Raised on a ranch outside Santa Fe., the early influence of his grandmother's involvement in northern New Mexico art circles led to study in Santa Fe, Taos and at the Colorado Institute of Art in Denver. Today he owns a publishing company, where he utilizes his printmaking skills in reduction woodblocks and etchings hand-printed on a 1920 Vandercook Flatbed Letterpress for artists and commercial vendors. His work is in collections in the Denver Art Museum, the Denver Public Library, and the Colorado History Museum. Loughridge was selected to be the featured artist for the 2005 Colorado Mountain Landscape Exhibition and Sale. In reduction printmaking, one block is used to create a multiple color print. The lightest color and the broadest area of the print is printed first for the entire edition, the block is then carved away leaving the next lightest, color which is printed. As the artist is continually removing material from the block to print the next color, the block is destroyed in the processes of making the image. The edition size is determined by how many acceptable impressions exist after the final color is printed. Shown is one of his special print-making techniques signed in the lower right margin, "Loughridge." In the lower middle margin the painting is titled, "Spring Storm-Mt Evans" and in the lower left margin it's listed as 2/17. Ca 2005. 19" x 19"
Artist: Leon Loughridge
Date: ca. 2008
