Winnemucca, Henderson, Elko: These cities aren't just some of the best places to live in Nevada. They are also home to some of the richest people in the Silver State.
Winnemucca in particular houses the richest residents in the state thanks, in part, to a median household income of $69,562 and a ridiculously low poverty rate of 10.2%.
If you're thinking of moving to one of these towns, you'll probably need to start saving. The richest places in Nevada share common characteristics such as having a genius level populous, sky high home prices, and a Pleasantville level of married couples.
How did we come up with these mega wealthy cities? We analyzed Census data from the 2013-2017 American Community Survey for the 16 places in Nevada with more than 2,000 people.

Carson City, officially the Consolidated Municipality of Carson City, is an independent city and the capital of the US state of Nevada, named after the mountain man Kit Carson. As of the 2010 census, the population was 55,274. The majority of the population of the town lives in Eagle Valley, on the eastern edge of the Carson Range, a branch of the Sierra Nevada, about 30 miles (50 km) south of Reno. The town originated as a stopover for California bound emigrants, but developed into a city with the Comstock Lode, a silver strike in the mountains to the northeast. The city has served as the capital of Nevada since statehood in 1864 and for much of its history was a hub for the Virginia and Truckee Railroad, although the tracks were removed in the 1950s. Prior to 1969, Carson City was the county seat of Ormsby County. In 1969, the county was abolished, and its territory merged with Carson City to form the Consolidated Municipality of Carson City. With the consolidation, the city limits today extend west across the Sierra Nevada to the California state line in the middle of Lake Tahoe. Like other independent cities in the United States, it is treated as a county-equivalent for census purposes.

More on Reno: Real Estate | Data | Photos
Reno is a city in the U.S. state of Nevada. It is in Northern Nevada, approximately 22 miles (35 km) from Lake Tahoe. Known as "The Biggest Little City in the World", Reno is famous for its hotels and casinos and as the birthplace of Harrah's Entertainment (now known as Caesars Entertainment Corporation). It is the county seat of Washoe County, in the northwestern part of the state. The city sits in a high desert at the foot of the Sierra Nevada and its downtown area (along with Sparks) occupies a valley informally known as the Truckee Meadows. It is named after Jesse L. Reno.
Loads of schools both public and private, with more in the works. Big events year-round, averaging one biggie per month, ranging from hot air balloon races, rodeo, air races, food fests, nearby Burning Man, parades for numerous reasons, a growing art scene,….there's just so much going on lately. Plus the casinos. All this and a decent sized river coursing downtown that hosts kayak contests. A construction boom is in progress.
Watch out for the poorly maintained roads, impatient tail riding drivers, and extreme temperatures; summer is very hot and winter is bone chilling cold with a lot of snow possible. Rain, hail, high winds, drought, avalanches flooding, wildfires, it has it all.
The sheer number of special events and stuff to do in a city this size is pretty amazing.
How We Determined The Richest Places In Nevada For 2019
The first thing that comes to most people's minds when they think about determining the richest places is to simply identify personal incomes. After all, rich people have really high salaries.
However, we don't believe that one statistic wholly encompasses what it means to be one of the "richest places". So we looked at this set of criteria from the newly released 2013-2017 American Community Survey:
- Poverty Level
- Median Household Income
- Unemployment Rate
Median household income is the most digestible way to understand how rich a place really is. The unemployment rate tries to capture the prospects for more people to become rich. If more people are employed, the richer the future looks.
After we collected the data for all 16 places with more than 2,000 people in Nevada, we ranked each place from 1 to 16 for each of the criteria, with 1 being the richest.
We then averaged all the rankings for a place into a "Rich Score" with the place having the lowest overall Rich Score, Winnemucca, crowned the "Richest City In Nevada For 2019".
You can learn more about the top ten below or skip to the end to see the rankings for all 16 places.
There You Have It – The Wealthiest Places In Nevada For 2019
Like we said earlier, when we set out to identify the richest places in Nevada, we weren't sure what we'd encounter, but it ended up being some of the best places to live in Nevada.
When you look at the data, the cities and places mentioned above meet the criteria for being at the very top of the income ladder for everyone that lives there.
If you're curious enough, here are the poorest cities in Nevada, according to data:
Poorest: Yerington
2nd Poorest: Fallon
3rd Poorest: Las Vegas

I believe that some of the best ideas are formed when you step away from your normal work environment and go outside. It has been shown time and again that exercise clears the mind while increasing productivity and creativity.
For that reason, I started this walking group.
It's for business-minded ladies and gents who are interested in discussing and learning more about branding, positioning and expanding their businesses while getting their blood pumping.
I will lead the group and provide different topics to get the discussion going each week; such as how to create and improve your brand, what to do to identify and attract your ideal client and how to position yourself to stand out in a saturated market. We will also cover general business topics to help your business grow and run more smoothly. And, of course, this will be the perfect place to meet like-minded people and share experiences.
It's time to Make A Move!
The goal of this group is to help people improve their businesses and lives by creating a space for physical activity and contemplation with other like-minded, inspired business people.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will I really be able to call this a workout?
Yes, we will keep a high walking pace so we actually get our heart rates up. During breaks we will do some squats, sit-ups, etc.
I would call it a light workout—there will be no strolling, let's put it that way.
How many will be at each walk?
It will vary, but probably somewhere between 3-8.
How will this actually work?
We will meet and do quick introductions. I will introduce the topic(s) of the day as well as hand out a card with the topic, in case you are like me and can't remember anything that hasn't been written down. Then we are off. I'll guide you through the hills while I listen in on your conversation, share my thoughts and advice, and make sure the conversation is on-topic and keeps flowing. You will be paired with one other walker to find out about him/her and thoughts/experiences on the topic.
Halfway through we will switch up the group and break for some sit-ups, lunges, and other pulse-increasing activities.
We'll end with a light stretch, and then I hope you'll jump into your day with fresh ideas and increased energy.
Wait, Karin! Make A Move is just not enough; I want more help with my brand and business!
You are in luck! Later this year, a more intimate program will be announced, where I actually will teach while walking, in a smaller group setting of 2-4 people, along with an workshops (because even if I wanted to teach everything while moving around, no-can-do).

THE Bicycling Empowerment Network Namibia (BENN) is planning to start building 30 solar-powered electric bike ambulances for villages in Namibia and Zambia in February next year, that will help thousands of rural women, men and children to gain access to healthcare in medical emergencies.
The fleet of electrically assisted bicycle ambulance trailers will be designed for the thick sand and thorns of Namibia and charged by solar-powered recharging stations.
They will be managed by local healthcare facilities, and provide emergency health transport in areas that have never before had access, therefore saving many lives in childbirth and treatment of illnesses such as malaria, HIV-AIDS and tuberculosis.
According to BENN's managing director, Mike Linke, the first bicycle ambulance prototype was built in 2005 and turned into a project where the design and build of a bicycle-pulled ambulance trailer improved.
BENN has since built 120 non-motorised bicycle ambulances that are working well, and saving lives.
"Namibia's maternal mortality rate of 200 deaths per 100 000 live births is 20 times higher than that of the UK.
"The dire lack of transport to access healthcare is similarly urgent in many sub-Saharan African countries, and few affordable, sustainable solutions are currently being tested or implemented.
"I met one clinic nurse who told me he rescued a man with one of our ambulances after a knife fight, his intestines hanging out of his body. Miraculously he survived," said Linke.
Challenges for the first ambulances included the lack of wider tyres and the distances involved.
The only affordable option for motorising a bike at that time was a petrol motorbike, but there was no money in villages for fuel or maintenance.
BENN teamed up with local Namibian partners, SunCycles to adapt to an original ambulance, which had mountain bike tyres, to a set-up that has durable motorbike tyres, and is pulled by an electric bicycle."
The new planned fleet of bicycle ambulances will be distributed to Namibian and Zambian partners and will have a catchment area of thousands of people.
Linke says if each of the ambulances provide two ways of transport per day for 300 days of the year, 18 000 people who would otherwise face serious complications or even death, could be safely and comfortably taken to the hospital to receive treatment.
The riders of the bicycles will still pedal, like with a normal bike, but there will now be a motor and battery to give some assistance.
The battery can be recharged by a solar electric system so that it can deal with remote areas.
The improved tyres and motor mean that thick sand, thorns and long distances are no longer such an issue.
Hilya Ekandjo who is involved in the testing of the bicycle at Okafitu, Omusati region, says it is easier and faster to ride the bikes than the old ones.
" It can even go to 50km per hour. It does not even matter if it is a woman or old person riding it. The motor and thick tyres make a difference," she said.
Ekandjo says people have also started ordering the bicycles for business purposes as it is challenging to get taxies.
The first four prototypes are already built, with funding from UK Charity Transaid and are currently being tested.
BENN is now running a crowd-funding campaign on Global Giving, an international platform, and is in the top 20 out of 624 projects from all around the world.
Linke hopes to get support from Namibians in pledging for the ambulances.
"We hope that the Ministry of Health and Social Services will see value in the ambulances and support operators, perhaps on a per delivery basis.
"We also like MoHSS to refer e-ambulances when they receive emergency calls. We need donations! It's a few minutes of time and a little money, but every donation helps us get closer to delivering another ambulance and saving more lives.
"We'd also like to hear from people and interested organisations in hosting an ambulance." He said.
The bicycles that will be built by Fresh Minded Investment at Walvis Bay will cost about N$16 000 per ambulance.

Wind farms across oceans could power the world: Study
Wind farms in the open ocean can generate far more renewable energy than those on land, possibly enough to power the whole world, said a US study.
Researchers at the Carnegie Institution for Science found that higher wind speeds over the open seas could produce five times as much energy as wind turbines over land.
While no commercial-scale deep water wind farms exist at present, the findings suggest the technology is worth pursuing, though the power would vary according to the seasons.
"In the winter, North Atlantic wind farms could provide sufficient energy to meet all of civilisation's current needs," said the report in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
"In the summer such wind farms could merely generate enough power to cover the electricity demand of Europe, or possibly the United States alone." The study is based on computer models that compared the productivity of large Kansas wind farms to imagined, massive wind farms erected in the open seas. In some areas, particularly the North Atlantic, ocean-based wind farms would be far more potent because the drag introduced by wind turbines would not slow down winds as much as they would on land.
Also, open-water wind farms were seen as better able to capture energy that originates high up in the atmosphere and is transported down to the surface, where turbines may extract it.

Peer Pressure: Just Go Along With It! It's Easier For Everyone!
When it comes to matters of a hostile work environment, the question of the effect of peer pressure can be a problem. Is it harassment or just ordinary interaction? How is the ordinary worker to determine when it is becoming a problem? The advice of an employee rights attorney can help a stressed worker determine what his or her options are.
Peer Pressure and the Work Place
Everyone has experienced peer pressure at various points in their lives. Whether at school, social organizations, or in the work place, no person moves through the space entirely untouched or unaffected by the people who surround them. The majority tends to urge individuals to "go with the flow" because that does create the sense that things are moving smoothly. This often turns up in work places, because people get used to certain methods and patterns and they will tend to hold on to those forms even in the face of a new, more efficient method.
Is It Harassment?
Peer pressure in the work place can be a grey area when it comes to the matter of harassment. Co-workers may not be aware of the degree of discomfort they can inflict on the colleague who is not conforming to the expected norms of the work place. If a group of workers unquestioningly accept conditions that are actually improper, their pressures on their co-worker would certainly contribute to a hostile work environment.
Feeding the Hostile Work Environment
When a whistleblower starts to expose work conditions that harass individuals, those who work with them will probably react with suggestions like "Don't rock the boat" or "Nobody else has a problem with it." Although these co-workers may not realize that they are reinforcing a problem that needs to be addressed, they are contributing to creating a hostile work environment. The reactions of the co-workers might escalate into whistleblower retaliation. For the whistleblower, the addition of peer pressure to an already difficult situation may raise many questions.
Seek Advice
When circumstances become complicated by peer pressure, the whistleblower can consult a labor lawyer. Especially when the whistleblower has a strong desire is to avoid workplace retaliation for bringing the basic problem to official attention. Legal advice can help guide the whistleblower through the difficult events of addressing any sort of workplace harassment.
Employee Rights Rumble at the Supreme Court
Many might think the need for employment law attorneys has diminished as labor operations become more transparent in the digital age, however, the need for protecting workers continues. On January 11th, the Supreme Court will be hearing a case brought by teachers in California. At issue is the requirement that public-sector workers pay union fees—whether they join a union or not. This practice has been in play for a long time. The thinking behind it is that even if public-sector workers don't join their respective unions, they receive many of the benefits the unions work for, like pay raises and job protection.
Unions are generally recognized as pro-labor, and often represented as speaking for skilled laborers like electricians and carpenters, as well as public-sector workers like teachers and social workers. Most of the recent news we hear about unions concerns workers' attempts to unionize in places such as Whole Foods and Walmart. Unions aim to guarantee fair pay for their members through collective bargaining, but does mandating fees for public-sector workers help their cause?
Ten teachers from California are fighting to stop paying union fees, arguing that the previous case allowing mandatory union fees, Abood v. Detroit Board of Education, was unconstitutional. The Supreme Court will decide whether it is indeed constitutional to force public-sector workers to pay union fees, especially if the workers don't agree with their unions or don't feel as if their unions are working for them. Their findings could affect laws in up to 25 states that require public-sector workers to pay union fees.
Friedrichs v. California Teachers Association could have many repercussions for labor unions. The Supreme Court decision may affect how unions work in the future, curtailing their effectiveness as collective bargainers, as well as diminishing their operating budgets. While employers cannot stop employees from unionizing, many demonize unions. Combined with the negative media attention unions tend to garner, this case could serve to harm ongoing unionization efforts in the service sector while reducing the purview of public-sector unions.
Regardless of the Supreme Court's June decision, what should be front and center throughout this case is the importance of protecting the rights of workers, whether they're unionized or not. It is important that non-unionized workers educate themselves about their rights as employees and know when they should hire an employment law attorney to help them. Unionized workers are generally assisted with this process, but not always. For those unsure of their rights, the California State Bar offers some information regarding employee rights. However, it is always a good idea to consult with a qualified LA employment law attorney to discuss the merits of your case.
Many employee rights cases often focus around discrimination, sexual harassment, or unpaid wages, but labor law extends much further. With the increase of the on-demand labor force, the integration of the internet, and the mobilization of more unions, labor law will need to continue to evolve to meet the needs of the changing workforce. An LA employee rights attorney might even say this is an exciting time to be practicing labor law and helping to protect workers!

'Every Picture Tells A Story.... And Every Story Paints a Picture'
Reflecting on yesterday's victory over neighbours Alfreton, there is no other title I could really use to sum up the events of yesterday afternoon. The title is not one I've made up; it's an infamous quote which is used by some many as a view on life. It's a common saying which has the same meaning as 'don't judge a book by its cover' and you may wonder why I've not chosen that as a title, the answers simple really – it's not about having the wrong perception of someone or something as suggested by don't judge a book by its cover, it's more about perception. The story of yesterday is exactly what the cover (below) says and suggests – a Mansfield Victory, but the perception of how the story is told and more importantly viewed, fits nicely, hence the title 'Every Picture Tells A Story, And Every Story Paints a Picture'.
Before you carry on reading, it's important you understand that I'm writing as I viewed the game, you may have a different perspective of things and that's fine as at the end of the day, the result shows a Mansfield victory. I'm not here to get a reaction, nor am I here to slate people or have a dig, I'm a passionate fan (proved by the audio at the bottom!) writing as I do each week, for the history books so in years to come we can look back and remember properly what happened rather than make assumptions based on what the photo's and short facts of results tables suggests. All I'm trying to do is share my views and hopefully make the picture clearer for all as we reach a vital point in the season.
Whilst dubbed as a 'local derby' because of the clubs geographical closeness, it didn't have the same feel as a Mansfield Vs C**********d game brings, as far as I was concerned it was just another game, with another set of points on offer.
Paul Cox chose to stick with the same 11 that drew with Lincoln during the week; however the stag's boss did reintroduce midfielder Anthony Howell to the mix following his three game ban, with the ex-reds man taking his place on the bench in place of Louis Briscoe.
Alan Marriott
Luke O'Neill – Martin Riley – Ritchie Sutton – Joe Kendrick
Lindon Meikle – Adam Murray (C) – Paul Bolland – Ross Dyer
Matt Green – Paul Connor
SUBS: Shane Redmond – Jon Worthington – Andy Todd – Anthony Howell – Rhys Day
Mansfield got the game underway and we're on the attack from the start, Skipper Murray looked to feed Ross Dyer wide left Alfreton's Josh Law scrambled clear but Paul Bolland picked up we're he left off against Lincoln, winning the ball back to send Dyer on his way again, his attempted cross was blocked and bounced away for a stags throw with 15 seconds gone. Luke O'Neill came across to the left hand side and launched a long throw into the box, the visitors 3 man back line headed away, however it was Joe Kendrick who put the stags in danger with a sloppy pass back to Ritchie Sutton. The ball cannoned off Anthony Wilson and stags we're soon in trouble as Paul Clayton burst free through the middle – stopped at the last second thanks to a suburb challenge from Sutton.
With Alfreton fighting for the lives, sitting second bottom, a lot of people put money on a Mansfield onslaught, in fairness the opening 10 minutes suggested it would be. The first golden chance to put Mansfield ahead fell to leading front man Matt Green, he found himself 1 vs. 1 with Alfreton's loanee shot stopper Joe Day, Green blazed over right footed from around eight yards – a left footed roll in would have been the better option as Green had plenty of the goal to aim for.
On six minutes, Dyer, who played well out of position on the left wing, dropped central and won the ball back strongly as lively Alfreton creped forward, Dyer slotted a neat ball through to Green who cut in from just left of the area before curling a testing shot wide, however with Connor and Meikle free in the box, Alfreton sensed their luck maybe in. Two minutes later the stags we're pressing again, A combination of Murray, O'Neill and Meikle saw the latter weave forward, before being brought down for a stags free kick. O'Neill's delivery found Green who was denied by Joe Day who made a smart save to tip over for a corer.
Mansfield had already seen at least 4 goal worthy chances fail and they had already seen Alan Marriott deny Wilson a header from a free kick just before Mansfield's double chance, sloppy defending was the reason behind the free header and on 13 minutes it was to blame again as Alfreton grabbed the lead. Greg Young's throw caused problems and as the ball was delivered into the box, the stags defence stood static allowing Anton Brown space to head past Marriott.
Stags 0-1 Alfreton
Mansfield seemed so lively up front but a lack of finishing touch saw the visitors stay ahead, proved once more on 17 minutes as Joe Kendrick blazed over from close range following a Connor cross, the Irish full back had Matt Green and Lindon Meikle screaming for a pass as they both had a tap in waiting for them. It was Mansfield's indecision, lack of finishing touch and evident abysmal defending which saw Alfreton double their lead with just over 20 minutes gone. Annoyingly it came on the break as well, Luke O'Neill's corner was poor and easily cleared, despite Meikle winning the second ball, his header back to O'Neill was tame and the visitors broke, Jamie Mullan's swift cross field ball found Wilson who delivered a testing cross, the usually reliable Alan Marriott made an error of judgement flapping at the cross – he was made to pay as Mullan kept the ball in and pulled back for Paul Clayton, who made no mistake in rolling the ball into the gaping empty net. Truly awful defending, they type you'd expect from a bottom four side, rather than a side supposedly chasing the playoffs.
Stags 0-2 Alfreton
Mansfield again had chances to get back in the game before the break; Matt Green turned on the edge of the area and fired wide after a neat run from O'Neill. Paul Connor was also manhandled inside the area for what was a blatant penalty, even the Alfreton fans were bemused to why the referee awarded them a free kick rather than us a penalty. Ritchie Sutton also saw his header from an O'Neill free kick cleared off the line – all of these chances irrelevant and as the half time whistle blew, it was the visitors who we're ahead.
It may sound like Mansfield we're the dominant side and didn't get the rub of the green, yes we created chances but there is no way we can shy away from the fact we didn't take them, nor can we shy away from the fact that at the back we we're going down quicker than the titanic, or to use another metaphor – we we're like melting butter as the Alfreton blunt knife eased its way through. The fact is, we we're two nil down at half time against one of the leagues whipping boys on home soil, we we're losing in a league fixture to a side we've ALWAYS played in a pre-season fixture. The boo's of frustrating that sounded loudly around Field Mill we're more than acceptable and more than understood. How the mighty had fallen.
Half Time: Mansfield 0-2 Alfreton
The crowd we're treated to entertainment curtsey of my co-commentator Scott attempting the cross bar challenge, had it not been for the wind I've a feeling he'd have been in the money! However as he and his boots made their way back up to the press box, the Field Mill crowd all knew the second half needed to be a massive improvement and that the 'star quality, belief and ability' myself and Scott speak about on air week in week out, including yesterday, would transpire on the pitch. We believed the comeback could happen – question is, did the players, those who had the opportunity to change things?
What Mansfield needed first and foremost was someone to stand up and take control, but if we're being totally truthful – they needed help too. Three minutes into the second half, help a helping hand arrived; Martin Riley clattered a headed effort against the bar from O'Neill's free kick and from the resulting goal kick, collided with Anthony Wilson. Wilson was judged to have fouled and was shown a second yellow card of the game, the first came during the first half for exactly the same offence. The Alfreton man had no complaints as he headed off the pitch, it's just a shame the same couldn't be said on the hour mark as Greg Young received the same fate as his team mate.
You may be wondering we're the write up of incidents is from the 12 minute spell between each red card, truth is there isn't any bar Paul Connor getting booked, nothing had changed from Mansfield's point of view – they were still awful.
Anyway, back to Young's 60th minute dismissal, it came as Mansfield actually put together a sharp move on the attack, Adam Murray quickly took a stags throw in, with Green and O'Neill working a 1-2 with the latter then sending Meikle on his way down the right hand side. The former Eastwood winger was taken down by Young who instantly received his 2nd yellow, taking his frustration out on the tunnel as he made his disgraced exit leaving his team with nine men – could they cope and get a precious victory. Luke O'Neill delivered another testing ball from the resulting free kick which was headed behind for a corner, Andy Todd replaced Joe Kendrick as the stags searched for more attacking options. O'Neill's corner was scurried clear and with no Alfreton man forward to attack, Alan Marriott trotted out to the half way line to sweep up.
The clock continued to tick in the wrong direction for Mansfield and the fact is, Alfreton may have been two men down, they we're still two goals ahead. On 75 minutes, Paul Connor took a tumble inside the box after great movement between Green and Bolland – with stags' designated penalty taker again not on the park (Briscoe), it was leading scorer Green who took centre stage. The pressure was immense, miss the penalty and the mind set would be at an all time low, whilst brave and deservingly leading Alfreton would grow in confidence, score and the game was back on. Left, Right or down the middle – high or low, soft or drilled – goal or miss, it really was that simple. Field Mill fell quiet and Green began his staggered run up, his final effort saw the ball lifted high past the keeper and bulge in the top corner of the net – Field Mill let out a cry of relief. However, the stags we're still behind and the clock still ticking.
Stags 1-2 Alfreton
The stags then went hell for leather, switching from 4-4-2 to a 2-4-4 even at times a 2-3-5 Paul Cox and Mansfield needed to level the score, Andy Todd covered every blade of grass from the moment he came on, it was he who then embarked on an unchallenged run, finally cutting inside and curling a shot wide – but the leveller still wouldn't come, frustration grew again.
On 78 minutes, Ross Dyer slammed a shot into the side netting from two yards after great work from O'Neill, Meikle and Connor; his blushes sparred just by the offside flag, a minute later O'Neill and Murray combined to feed Green who swivelled on the edge of the box before firing over, Mansfield needed something to click as the final 10 minutes approached.
Four minutes remained and you could hear some frustrated footsteps thump out of field mill early with Alfreton still in the lead, Martin Riley trotted forwards unchallenged as any sense of formation disappeared for the stags, Lindon Meikle received the final pass and cut past his man on to the edge of the box, you could hear the collective gasp as Meikle swung back his boot, the connection was sweet and the ball crashed into the top corner to a massive roar of celebration – The stags we're level against 9 men, all that was left to do was grab a winner.
Stags 2-2 Alfreton
Alfreton had thrown on Chris Senior in the mist of the stags storm, the hatred for him and his heartbreaking Wembley antics still evident as boo's rang out. Strangely, he restarted the game with a shot from kick off, this time Marriott was watching it all the way into his hands to a wry smile 'you've beaten me once, never again'
Skipper Murray was instrumental in Mansfield's last comeback from 2-0 down at half time (Gateshead at home at the end of last season), it was he who tested the water once more from the edge of the box, this time his effort was just wide of the target and it looked as if Mansfield would have to settle for a draw.
As the attendance was being read out, 2982, Mansfield we're on the attack again – Matt Green let fly from the angle and missed the target by some distance, however Todd fought and kept it alive, letting fly from the tightest of angles – somehow the ball bobbled in off Joe Day, Field Mill erupted with Joy, with myself and Scott Rogers unable to contain our delight live on air, cheering along with the fans as Todd was mobbed by team mates in the far corner of the pitch. Mansfield didn't deserve it by any stretch of the imagination but all the same, the lead was theirs at last deep into injury time.
Stags 3-2 Alfreton
With a minute left of additional time left, goal scorer and forever a legend now Todd sent Dyer on his way forward, at the last second Dyer fed Connor who fired wide missing a golden chance to put the game beyond doubt, soon after the full time blew and Mansfield had sealed the points – unbelievably and frankly undeservedly.
Full Time: Mansfield 3-2 Alfreton
My comments may seem negative and admittedly they are, however having witnessed the same unacceptably poor defensive display for the past four games, I refuse to let three points paper over the cracks – you can only put so many skeletons in the closet before it over flows and bursts open. We should have had the game dead, buried and well beyond reach before the 10 minute mark, if you don't take your chances you will get punished, and that's exactly what happened.
Alfreton weren't particularly brilliant, but they were persistent and made the most of our failings. They'll feel hard done by with the penalty and two red cards, I'm sure the video will show they've no room for complaints – many will say we got lucky, I won't argue with that, we didn't come alive until we had two men more – how many sides win a league by relying on sending's off? None.
We need someone to take control at the back, we need to stand up and be counted in that back four, we've become too much of a calm ocean which teams are using to sail smoothly to the land of easy goals. What we need is a volcano type figure in there, someone to spread the message 'if you come at us, you will get burnt' Until John Thompson is fit enough for his debut, Rhys Day should be lacing up his boots and pulling his shirt on.
Ranting over and looking at the other side, we grabbed the goals required and completed the turnaround, the history books will forever show a stags victory – I just hope that when this group of players look back and read this story, they can look beyond the points and build on a very plucky, below par, unacceptable performance. Please do not do that to me again, but thank you for the points and one hell of a memory – my love for you will never die.
In previous years, I'd be worried that the cracks would reappear, this season has a different feel to it, yes I'm cautious but I believe in my Mansfield Town – the bigger picture is still in sight. Roll on the next game, an FA Cup home tie against Fleetwood! Regular updates with me from 2PM 106.9FM & online – see the link on the right hand side.

Thanks for having accepted me in your group. You asked me what is Punto Tavarnelle so I wish to tell you some more. It is a needle lace, like many others, but very used in a little town near Florence, Tuscany, Italy. You surely know that needle lace is endless, we in Italy have a lot of different kinds of needle laces, each one known with the place name of the city where it comes from. Each one has its typical patterns, even if you can find some pattern in more than one city. Thread thickness and stitches are often different, as well as the way to work, but results are always the best ones
Thanks Lorelei. Thanks also for adding me to the membership,

In February 2019, the Registered Unemployment Rate in Bulgaria Reached 6.2%
In February 2019, the registered unemployment rate reached 6.2%, which was a decrease of 0.8%, Finance Minister Vladislav Goranov said at the beginning of today's government meeting, Focus News Agency reports.
In March, the business climate indicator was up 0.3 point, driven by better expectations of retailers in construction and services, the finance minister reported. The consumer confidence indicator also improved in March, he said. "The assessment of households' current financial situation as well as the future economic situation also improved, which is good news. Industrial production and turnover show positive developments since the beginning of 2019, with the latest data for February showing 6.6% growth in industrial production and 6.9% of turnover of industrial enterprises compared to 2018," Goranov said, adding that the more favourable dynamics was a result of export sales, which increased by over 10%, supported by the production of chemical products and electrical equipment.
"Construction growth also accelerated by 9.2% in February, although building construction retained its leading role. Civil construction also registered growth," Minister Goranov explained.
He further said there was also a positive trend in the labour market, "In February, the registered unemployment rate reached 6.2%, down 0.8% compared to the same month of 2018."
In January, the growth in exports of goods grew 8.4% compared to January 2018, mainly to EU countries but also to third countries, Goranov said.

The Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) has asked stock exchanges to write to Tata Group firms and direct them to address the concerns raised by Cyrus Mistry, former chairman of Tata Sons, before the audit committees of listed firms for evaluation, said sources familiar with the development.
According to sources, the market regulator is looking into the Tata-Mistry boardroom feud for any possible breach of corporate governance norms and listing regulations at various listed companies of the over $103-billion conglomerate. "We want the audit committees of the listed firms of the group to check if there were any violations of rules or regulations," said a person with access to details of the communication while declining to be named.
Watch what else is making news:
The regulator's move comes after Mistry sent an email to the board of Tata Sons and Tata Trusts, leveling a series of allegations against the Tata group and his predecessor, Ratan Tata ranging from fraudulent transactions, unethical practices and conflict of interest, raising questions about the level of corporate governance in the conglomerate.
"As of today the claims and counter claims made by both the parties involved are just allegations. The Sebi move to refer the matter to the audit committees of listed firms is the first step in establishing the truth," said JN Gupta, managing director of proxy advisory firm Stakeholders Empowerment Services.
Gupta said the findings of the audit committee will form the basis of further action by the markets regulator. "Once the audit committee submits its report on the allegation made by both the parties, Sebi can decide the next course of action if any," he said.
The spokesperson of Tata Group did not offer any comments for the story. "The issue is between Sebi and the stock exchanges. I have nothing to say on this," he said.
Mistry, had in his email referred to the "total lack of corporate governance" while raising questions about key investment decisions in several group companies taken during his predecessor's tenure besides warning of a potential $18-billion write down on what he termed as "legacy hotspots".
"As you are aware from presentations to you in the recent past, if we look at the aggregate data between 2011 and 2015 and limit the analysis largely to the legacy hotspots (Indian Hotels, Tata Motors PV, Tata Steel Europe, Tata Power Mundra and Tata Teleservices), it will show that the capital employed in those companies has risen from Rs 1,32,000 crore to Rs 1,96,000 crore," he had said after being sacked as Tata Sons chairman on October 24.
Following Mistry's explosive email, the stock exchanges had sought clarification from Tata Power, Tata Motors, Tata Communications, Indian Hotels, Tata Teleservices and Tata Steel on his allegation that the group could face $18 billion in write downs.
Tata Sons has started the process for removing Mistry from Tata Group firms one after another. Mistry has already been ousted as chairman of Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) and Tata Global Beverages Ltd. Extraordinary general meetings (EGMs) have been called to remove Mistry as director on these firms as well as Tata Motors and Indian Hotels Co Ltd. Tata Chemicals, where Tata Sons holds 19.35 per cent stake. While TCS EGM has been called on December 13, that of Tata Steel has been slated for December 21. Shareholders of Tata Motors will meet on December 22, and Tata Chemicals EGM will be on December 23. The EGM of Tata Power Co Ltd will be on December 26.

Here at The Crossing, we host numerous weddings throughout the year. Typically 75% of the events we have on our events calendar consist of wedding ceremonies and/or wedding receptions. Weddings are expensive. To put it into perspective, the average wedding in North Carolina costs roughly $28,000. Most brides at The Crossing typically spend anywhere from $60-$90 per person overall. (Keep in mind – this does not include items like your wedding dress, photographer, floral arrangements, centerpieces, etc.) With an expense of this caliber, many brides are looking for ways to cut costs and get a bargain wherever they can. Based on my experience with weddings over the years, I thought this would be a great way to give people an idea of ways to save some money or put that money towards other parts of your wedding or new life together.
DATES: Saturdays are high traffic days for weddings which makes it difficult to get any sort of discount on the rental fee. Most venues offer discounted rates Monday-Friday and some even on Sundays. If your date is flexible and you are not dead set on having your wedding on a Saturday then it's worth looking into.
HEAVY APPETIZERS VS. BUFFET DINNER: Most weddings used to have a sit down dinner or buffet dinner offered, however the trend in weddings seems to be shifting toward heavy appetizers instead. Heavy appetizers are often a little less expensive versus having a buffet dinner or sit down dinner. Offering heavy appetizers for your guests makes the reception environment more like a cocktail party where your guests can mix and mingle. Caterers can help you choose some of the more filling appetizer options for your guests. By serving heavy appetizers, there also come some other cost reductions in other areas of the budget – linens and staff. If your venue charges for staff, typically when heavy appetizers are served, it does not require as many staff as a sit down dinner or buffet. Linens are another additional cost to some budgets – some venues include linens in the rental fee and others do not. Serving heavy appetizers eliminates the need for everyone to have a seat at a table which overall reduces the number of linens needed. For example, you could have more cocktail tables and less seated tables. You also eliminate the cost of linen napkins since they are typically not needed for heavy appetizers.
CAKE: Wedding cakes can be hundreds or even thousands of dollars based on design, time spent, delivery, etc. Although they look great, most brides today have seemed to shy away from the giant tiered cakes. Bride's today seem to just have a small cake to cut for themselves and offer cupcakes or have sheet cakes that can be cut and served. Purchasing cupcakes or sheet cakes that can be cut into slices is more cost effective option than spending the money on a giant tiered cake.
ALCOHOL: Alcohol can make or break your budget. The questions always seem to be: Should I provide alcohol for my guests? If so, do we provide just beer and wine or beer, wine and liquor? Some brides choose to have a dry reception where no alcohol served at their wedding. Some brides will offer a cash bar at their wedding for guest to purchase their own drinks. Alcohol is sometimes a cost that brides are Most brides typically however will provide at least beer and wine for their guests. Some brides also want to offer liquor to their guests but without offering a full open bar. This is possible! A great way to offer liquor for your guests is by offering a signature cocktail served only during the cocktail hour. This allows you to offer the option of liquor for those non beer and wine drinkers. You can also tailor the cocktail around you and your fiancé's tastes or wedding theme. The break-down of drinkers at a wedding is typically a third of your group will not drink at all, a third of your group will maybe have a glass of wine or beer with dinner and a third of your group will drink for the rest of those not drinking!
Please let us know if you have any questions about the cost saving tips we have discussed!

1 Answer
Hi. So to me it sounds like you have low porosity hair. Low porosity hair doesn't allow moisture in or out easily. The best thing I can tel you to do is to make sure you seal your hair with oils coconut oil (my favorite), avocado oil, grapeseed oil, etc . I really hope this helps.
This Q&A section is soo last year... Talk curls at the all new CurlTalk!

World Cup Player Feature: England Goalkeeper Jordan Pickford
UK's Sharp Shot Stopper
Playing any team's goalkeeper in a consistent feat is difficult, but for England's Jordan Pickford doing so comes from early sports exposure that led him to play as one of Three Lions' 23 squad men on its 2018's World Cup campaign.
Full Name: Jordan Lee Pickford
Birthdate: March 7, 1994
Place of Birth: Washington, England
Teams: Everton/England National Team
Playing Years: 2009- Present
Position: Goalkeeper
-England U21 – Toulon Tournament 2016
-Everton Player of the Season 2017-2018
-Everton Players' Player of the Season: 2017-2018
-England Under 21-Player of the Year: 2017
Formative Years:
Sunderland 2011-2017
The 24-year-old English footballer is born and raised in Washington, England and joined Sunderland's Academy football club when he was only eight. Not long after his first early plays that Jordan commenced his professional deal with the club in 2011. He was then loaned to Darlington in 2012 where he appeared 17 times and headed the club's match against Fleetwood Town that ended with a 1-0 FT score. Shortly after that, Pickford was loaned again to Alfreton Town in 2013 where he played the goalkeeper role for 12 appearances.
Notable Skills/Style of Play
-Quick shot blocking skills-
-Long range passer
-Instructive style of ball distribution
-Wide runner
-Exceptional feet grasp and control
Pickford is observed to consistently employ long-range passing feats. His ability to run in such a defensive, agile speed made him a sure-fire threat on the field. He's at times captured in either a standing position when blocking a goal, and notably moves at a lightning pace when he's outside his net borderlines. He's also observed to use his right kick when passing and usually lands on his right rib; with his elbows on the ground after a successful block of an inverted or straight ahead goal attempt.
Burton Albion, Carlisle United and Bradford City, 2013-2015
Jordan agreed to sign on another loan deal, a contract that led him to play for the League Two club Burton Albion. He made 12 appearances for the club before he was re-negotiated by Sunderland. The recalled agreement made him play for 11 matches until he confirmed that he'll be joining Carlisle United, on another month-long loan contract in February 2014. He extended his stay at the United and made 18 appearances before finally signing another four-year deal his parent team that would get him in action until 2018.
Along with this, Sunderland loaned him again on another club, the Bradford city for the 2014-2015 season. He captained the team towards its 3-2 win against Coventry City on August and hadn't managed to keep his clean sheet following his first red card during their match with Rochdale in January 2015. This was followed by another expulsion from their match against Port Vale, owing him a one-match suspension.
Preston North End loan, leaving Sunderland and joining Everton – 2015-2017
Shortly after his appearance with Bradford city, Pickford joined Preston North end for a season loan that ran through the 2015-2016 period. But by early 2016 Sunderland recalled him once again for the Premier League, but was negotiated by one of its club Everton for a five-year contract with approximately £25 to £30 million initial payment. This regarded him as the third most expensive goalkeeper in both football and British goalkeeper history. He successfully claimed the title of being Everton's player of the season after participating in its first season rounds.
Pickford on FIFA World Cup 2018
The English footballer was considered for the England national team when Three Lions' head coach Gareth Southgate picked him to play for two FIFA World Cup qualifiers 2018 opposing Malta and Slovakia, but an injury prevented him from joining the qualifying matches.
However, it was later announced that he'll complete the country's 23 crew to compete in Russia. They made an impressive opening game in the tournament with a 2-0 full-time win against Costa Rica last June 6th, as well as the June 19th match with Tunisia ending on a 2-1 score. They proceeded with the quarterfinals after a 1-1 draw match opposing Colombia, and about to take on Sweden this coming Saturday at Samara Arena to land a possible spot on the finals.
With this British threat holding records of 38 Premier League appearances, 3 UEFA Europa League, 1 FA Cup and League Cup appearances, 2 International UK team friendlies and 4 FIFA World Cup appearances — it wouldn't be surprised if we'd see his name top listing the best goalkeepers of his time.

CSO Refreshes Firm's Core Purpose and Corporate Logo
CSO today announced that the 58-year-old architecture and interior design firm known as CSO Architects has updated its Core Purpose and Corporate Logo in context of a year-long strategic planning process. The firm will operate and market itself as CSO going forward. The firm's updated Core Purpose is "To provide design and service excellence for the benefit of our clients, our people, our community, and our environment."
The new logo and market focus are representative of a renewed commitment to outstanding design and service to their clients. The logo emphasizes CSO (the three letters) and the services the firm provides—architecture and interior design. It includes a modified version of the previous firm logo which has evolved over time. "We have always been proud of our design solutions and commitment to our clients, but as times and people change, it's important to keep things fresh and take time to re-examine CSO's core values, inventory the role of technology in our work, and re-establish buy-in from the professionals we lead and collaborate with to advance projects," said CSO Principal John Rigsbee. We want to develop the most creative solutions and approaches possible—-and challenge the CSO Team to be innovative thinkers and leaders in the industry."
In addition to hiring the best and the brightest architects and interior designers, CSO remains committed to providing a workplace environment which encourages inspired design and sustainability, and rewards success, community involvement, and intentional professional development.
"We are working hard at CSO to lay the foundation for a future marked by outstanding service and design, both of which contribute significantly to our clients' success," said CSO President Alan Tucker. In the next several years, we will be exploring a variety of opportunities to advance new leadership within CSO, and John and I are very excited about the firm's stability, talent, and future potential." CSO has a robust K-12 and Higher Education practice, and continues to lead the way in Corporate Development, Hospitality, and Interior Design. In addition, the firm is developing an impressive Healthcare and Advanced Manufacturing and Logistics portfolio.
CSO was established in 1961 and has been responsible for managing and designing some of Central Indiana's most recognizable and significant projects including the Indianapolis Airport, Circle Centre Mall renovation, JW Marriott, Indiana Historical Society, and the Palladium. Other more recent projects include the Simon-Skjodt Assembly Hall renovation, Purdue Honors College, new Zionsville Town Hall, Westfield High School Stadium, Brownsburg High School renovation, and Indiana Joint Force Headquarters.

The White House driven Green Button initiative that launched last month in California is now expanding to other utilities across the country, including Pepco in the Washington D.C. area, according to a recent article by Jeff St. John on GreenTech Media. Supported by smart meter hardware and software developer Aclara, the Green Button will also soon be available to customers of up to 20 of Aclara's other utility partners, including Avista, Wisconsin Public Service, DTE Energy, Dominion Power and Duke Energy.
"Beyond Pepco, California's big three utilities and Texas' Oncor and CenterPoint have been the first to jump on the green button bandwagon, launched in September by Chopra's Office of Science and Technology Policy," writes Jeff St. John. "Chopra challenged utilities to agree on a standard format for sharing customers' energy data, so customers can download, analyze, and ship it to third parties of their choosing, no matter what state they're in."
One of the first third party platforms to integrate with Green Button data is Simple Energy, which already works to support customers of California's big three utilities as well as Oncor and CenterPoint through the Smart Meter Texas program. As the article explains, "Once the data's available, startups like Simple Energy and others can ask customers for permission to look at it, analyze it, and present it back to them in new and innovative ways."
As Green Button data becomes more widely available to customers across the country, it is exciting to think about the applications that will be available to help people better understand and manage their own energy use. Simple Energy makes the information social, fun and simple by translating it into points that can be easily compared with your friends and neighbors online, motivating people to improve their scores and compete to save energy. Studies have shown that this type of social engagement works well to motivate customers who may be less concerned about cost savings.
Thanks to Aneesh Chopra and others who have worked to make the Green Button possible, and best wishes to everyone working to save more energy!

A small private college roughly 85 miles north of New York City, Marist College, canceled classes and put the school on lockdown Friday after they received an online, anonymous post threatening an on campus shooting, a spokesperson for Marist said.
The small liberal arts college, which contains about 6,400 students, in upstate New York tweeted Friday that the "College is closed and classes have been cancelled until further notice."
Students: Please take the Marist Alert very seriously. When we get more information we will let you know, but please stay inside for now.
— Marist Student Gov. (@MaristSGA) November 13, 2015
The Poughkeepsie Police Department was looking into the threat, which was posted via Twitter overnight, according to Marist spokesman Greg Cannon, Reuters reports. "It was something about a shooting, that there would be some kind of shooting on campus," Cannon said.
After consulting with police, Marist sent an alert to students, faculty and staff at 7 a.m. Friday. They told students to stay in their dorms and that classes were canceled.
Cannon said that police are investigating who created the Twitter post. Poughkeepsie Police Department released the following statement Friday:
"At approximately 6:00 am on Friday November 13, 2015 the Town of Poughkeepsie Police Department was notified by the Marist College Office of Safety & Security that an online threat was sent out via Twitter against Marist College.
An investigation is currently under way in cooperation with Twitter, college officials and other law enforcement agencies. In addition, there is a police presence on the campus. Marist College has cancelled classes for today until further notice and will update as necessary."
Cannon added that there were not any racial undertones to the threat, unlike recent incidents at other U.S. colleges. Racial turmoil ensued at the University of Missouri, when three men were arrested for threatening to shoot black people, according to Reuters. Additionally, messages were posted on the internet threatening to kill students at Howard University, a historically African-American school.

The 12 Simple Ways to Dress Differently and Better Than Other MenOur Price: $15.00
Oscar Wilde once said, "Only a fool will not judge by appearance." The most effective and economic approach to improve a person's appearance is to wear what he already has correctly.
