[HISTORY: Adopted by the Town Board of the Town of Lewiston 10-7-1991 by L.L. No. 5-1991 (Ch. 8C of the 1965 Code). Amendments noted where applicable.]
Editor's Note: Former Ch. 8C, Environmental Quality Review, adopted 3-26-1979 by L.L. No. 2-1979, was repealed 10-7-1991 by L.L. No. 6-1991.
The preservation and improvement of the quality of the natural and man-made environment within the Town of Lewiston in the face of population growth, urbanization and technological change, with their accompanying demands on natural resources, are found to be of increasing and vital importance to the health, welfare and economic well-being of present and future inhabitants and require forthright action by the governing body of the Town of Lewiston. It is recognized that the biological integrity of the natural and functional beauty of our surroundings which condition the quality of our life experience cannot be protected without the full cooperation and participation of all the people of the Town working in partnership with local and state officials and with various public and private institutions, agencies and organizations. Establishment of a conservation advisory council is a necessary step in fostering unified action on environmental problems.
As used in this chapter, the following terms shall have the meanings indicated:
- Coastal waters and shorelands influenced by each other, including transitional areas, freshwater marshes and meadows, hydrogeologic systems related to coastal waters and all terrestrial areas which have direct and immediate impact upon coastal waters and environments. The coastal zone extends outward to the international boundary line in the Niagara River and extends inland from the shoreland to the extent necessary to control land uses which may have a direct and immediate impact on coastal waters and environments.
- That which results when either two natural environmental situations or a natural environmental situation and a man-made development are not capable of existing together in harmony, i.e., a natural or man-made usage of land, air or water which is inconsistent with the capability of the environment to sustain such activity without detrimental environmental impact.
- An event, occurrence or situation initiated or precipitated by man which involves the alteration of land, air or water, resulting in substantial impact on the environment.
- Factual conditions which exist or occur in the environment and which have been initiated or precipitated by natural events without human intervention.
The Town Board of the Town of Lewiston hereby creates a conservation advisory council which shall be known as the "Town of Lewiston Environmental Commission" (hereinafter called the "Commission").
The Commission shall consist of seven members who shall be appointed by the Town Board and the additional ex officio members as provided in Subsection B below. The term of office shall be one year for two of the appointed members, two years for two of the appointed members and three years for three of the appointed members of the initial Commission. All successive terms shall be for a period of three years. Persons residing within the Town of Lewiston who are interested in the improvement and preservation of environmental quality shall be eligible for appointment as a member of the Commission. Vacancies on the Commission shall be filled in the same manner as the original appointment, except that a vacancy occurring other than by the expiration of term of office shall be filled only for the remainder of the unexpired term. For persons hereunder appointed who take office before January 1, 1992, the period of time between the term and January 1, 1990, shall be added to the term of office.
A liaison member from the Town Board, a member of the Planning Board, a member of the Zoning Board of Appeals, the Zoning Enforcement Officer and the Environmental Enforcement Officer shall be ex officio members of the Commission. Ex officio members shall not be entitled to vote at meetings of the Commission.
The Town Board shall annually appoint a member of the Commission to act as Chairman and Vice Chairman respectively thereof. The Commission shall adopt rules and procedures for its meetings. It shall keep accurate records of its meetings and activities and shall file an annual report as provided in § 19-8 of this chapter. The Town Board shall provide a Clerk who shall be in attendance at all meetings to assist the Commission in its recordkeeping responsibilities.
The powers and duties of the Commission shall be to:
Monitor the environment in a watchguard capacity and, if need be, investigate and report on any environmental incompatibilities or problems that might endanger the environment of the Town of Lewiston, its natural beauty or the well-being of its residents in accordance with § 19-7 of this chapter.
Advise the Town Board on matters affecting the preservation, development and use of the natural and man-made features and conditions of the Town insofar as quality, biological integrity, beauty and other environmental factors are concerned. In the case of man's activities and developments, advise on any major threats posed to the environment or to the people of the Town.
Conduct and maintain an inventory of the natural resources within the Town of Lewiston.
Maintain an up-to-date index of all open spaces, as defined in § 239-y of the General Municipal Law, in public or private ownership within the Town, including but not limited to natural landmarks, glacial and other geomorphic or physiographic features; streams and their floodplains, swamps, marshlands and other wetlands; unique biotic communities; scenic and other open areas of natural or ecological value. Such index shall include the ownership of and the present and proposed uses of such open areas, so as to provide a base of information for recommendations by the Commission for their preservation or use.
Seek to coordinate and assist the efforts of private groups, institutions and individuals within the Town of Lewiston in accord with the purposes of this chapter.
Maintain liaison and communications with public and private agencies and community organizations whose programs and activities have an impact on the quality of the environmental or who can be of assistance to the Commission.
Working in cooperation with the Planning Board, recommend, from time to time, to the Town Board features, plans and programs relating to environmental improvement for inclusion in the master plan of the Town of Lewiston and, similarly, recommend to the Town Board appropriate and desirable changes in existing local laws and ordinances relating to environmental and land use controls or recommend new local laws and ordinances.
Prepare, print and distribute books, maps, charts and pamphlets in accord with the purpose of this chapter.

This coin was issued by the city of Athens with the head of the eponymous, armed goddess Athena on the obverse. On the reverse, an owl, symbol of the goddess, faces the viewer. The political fragmentation of the Greek world had an impact on coining with the spread of countless active mints through the Mediterranean colonies and Greece itself. Each city state made their own coins with symbols on the obverse and reverse referencing Gods or eponymous heroes.

By Pankaj Srivastava
Continuous Integration is a development engineering practice that integrates code after each check-in done by developers into a shared repository and helps to find out code errors & code breaks early before it hampers the development process of other developers.
It is a myth that Continuous Integration is an agile methodology practice. A development engineering practice is not dependent on the software development methodology being followed. It can be implemented in any software development methodology.
Why is Continuous Integration required?
Software development project is bound on a strict schedule by the SOW/contract/MSA. If the project violates the schedule, both vendor and client have to face financial and reputation damage. A delay in schedule may lead to loss of potential revenue for the client as a competitor may market the targeted features first and capture the potential market. This ends up impacting the client's reputation as well. The vendor, on the other hand, has to pay financial penalties as mentioned in the SOW/contract/MSA. Delay in delivery would also impact the vendor's reputation and may lead to financial damage during future biddings.
Demanding projects creates pressure on the developers. Hence, during the latter stages of software development, developers start opening developers "magic tool box" which includes "Say it's done", copy code from Google without reading it, overtime, no exception handling, hard coding, inappropriate unit testing etc.
Sometimes developers end up missing the complete check-in (all the files) which leads to build errors. In worst case scenarios, developers check-in incomplete code without build without running the code once or without running all the unit and integration tests. The oversight leads to functional errors and code breakage.
Continuous Integration is a precaution against the aforementioned build errors/code breakage for the historic code.
Achieving Continuous Integration
At IGT, we used the Microsoft Team Foundation Server (TFS) as shared repository and Microsoft Team Foundation build script for build automation. The team foundation server delivers source control, work item tracking, version control, test case management, build automation, a team project portal Web site, reporting, and project management capabilities.
- Handling post check-in build errors: Initially, the objective was to avoid post check-in build errors. To achieve this, a TFS build script was written which would run after each check-in. The script was written in such a way that it would send email to all concerned stakeholders following each individual check-in. As soon as any post check-in build failed, all concerned stakeholders including the concerned developer were informed via automated email. The developer was required to fix the fault as soon as the build failed email was received. This practice also ensured that the "magic tool box" was used less since any error would lead to the developer's name being flashed to all the stakeholders in red.
- Avoiding historic code breakage: Automated unit test for all historic and new code were written using TDD. The Unit tests were created in Visual Studio using the Visual Studio Unit Testing Framework. Going forward, a running unit test was added to the TFS build script so that whenever any existing functionality was broken by new code, all concerned stakeholders would be informed about the code breakage and the particular functionality that was broken. The Unit tests execution in TFS build script were done using MSTest.
- Gated check-in: Until the post check-in build was corrected, the work of other developers was getting hampered. Hence, it was imperative that check-in should not succeed in case of a failed build. The implementation of a Gated check-in ensured that the code was not checked-in in case of any error.
- Fxcop tool:FxCop is an application that analyzes managed code assemblies (code that targets the .NET Framework common language runtime) and reports information about the assemblies, such as possible design, localization, performance, and security improvements. The Fxcop rules were implemented in TFS build script to find any possible design, localization, performance, and security flaw. It added an extra review layer to the code.
Tools for implementing Continuous Integration:
Many tools are available in market to implement Continuous Integration. These tools may be classified into open source and commercial tools. Open source tools include Hudson, Jenkins and CruiseControl while the Commercial Tools include ThoughtWorks' Go, Urbancode's Anthill Pro, Jetbrains' Team City and Microsoft's Team Foundation Server.

The one place in any home which wants more consideration and attention is rest room. According to the US Department of Power , LED lights use at the least seventy five{505b61d234e8acb4e4543a0632e404561b1a9454bae1db0b67d894fee864949f} much less energy, and final 25 times longer, than incandescent lighting. A curved glass countertop offers a sense of spaciousness, whereas hand-applied 1-inch Bizazza glass tiles mimic the swooping curves of the fixtures.
Pick fixtures with finishes that replicate the look you are trying to achieve, and match or coordinate cleaning soap dispensers, toothbrush holders and wastebaskets for a cohesive feel. Lastly, be cognizant of the National Kitchen and Bath Affiliation planning guidelines so that you simply and your lavatory designer can plan a protected and purposeful structure that meets both your needs and laws.
Carry the luxurious and privacy of draperies into the bathroom for a comfortable and decorative touch. Explore our Toilet Guides for extra lavatory ideas and initiatives. It's nice to have a spot to sit down and luxuriate in your Zen-like walk-in shower, thus constructed-in and transportable benches are an extra-added luxury that doesn't have to break the price range.
Black tiles made this bathroom feel cramped and approach too darkish. After the makeover, this guest toilet seems way more spacious with a full glass shower, new white floors tiles and a floating vainness. A great alternative to the vertical-striped wallpaper is beautiful mosaic tilework laid vertically on all the rest room wall.
This small lavatory transform was constrained by bedrooms on either side, so it wasn't doable to extend sq. footage. If in case you have a big household, think about separating the bathroom and shower from the sink so a number of individuals can prepare directly.

'Pretty Little Liars' Recap: Mona Returns From The Dead To Haunt Ali
The 'Pretty Little Liars' Christmas special was one of the craziest and creepiest episodes yet. Mona made a ghostly return and 'A' was a total Grinch.
Pretty Little Liars is back, and ready to get into the holiday spirit — sort of. On the Dec. 9 Christmas episode, the Liars attempted to one-up "A" and Alison (Sasha Pieterse), Mona (Janel Parrish) returned to haunt Alison and the boys of Rosewood had a seriously sexy Christmas surprise for our favorite girls!
'Pretty Little Liars' Recap: She's Baaaaaaack
It's Christmas time, but the Liars weren't exactly feeling the holiday spirit. Especially Hanna, considering all the drama surrounding Mona's death.
Emily tried to get everyone pepped up by making Christmas wishes, but Hanna was being a Scrooge.
"Wishes don't come true, Emily. If they did, people wouldn't die," Hanna said. (She has a point.)
They all had a serious pity party, even a glamorous Ice Ball couldn't lift their spirits. That's because Alison was throwing the party. The girls noticed a guy watching them from a distance. He came up to Hanna to deliver a package — from Mona! Inside the package were drawings of Ali's house and a note. Mona told Hanna not to give up on taking down Alison and "A."
It was as if Mona knew she was going to die. Liars, you might need to take a note from M. The girls were going to have their hands full with Alison and "A."
"Different name, same bitch," Spencer summed up. Preach, girl!
Aria picked up a snowglobe from Santa, but it wasn't a sweet gift. Aria, Emily, Hanna and Spencer's faces were inside the snowglobe, and "A" left a daunting note: "A takes a holiday. You should too."
Meanwhile, Alison was having hallucinations of her mom, and it was the creepiest thing EVER. But not as creepy as Dead Mona! She was the Ghost of Christmas Past, but looked like she'd just celebrated Halloween. That makeup was straight up crazy. They flashed back to Little Alison at Christmas time, when she found two Christmas presents with the same gift. When she asked Mrs. D about it, she told Alison to keep her mouth shut.
Alison asked Dead Mona if it was for Bethany, and Mona's response was a real zinger. "It's not going to be that easy, bitch," she said.
Sadly, Toby wasn't going to be able to go to the Christmas, but that was OK. Spencer gave him a front row seat to one hot party. She dressed up as a sexy Santa just for him!
'Pretty Little Liars' Recap: Bad Santas
The boys of Pretty Little Liars were total gentlemen this episode. Ezra gave Aria a gorgeous necklace and earring set, plus some sexy lingerie. Apparently, the Fitzgeralds go all out for Christmas. (Um, count us in.)
There was a nice Paily kiss this episode, too. They were so cute under the mistletoe.
It was finally time for the Ice Ball, and all the Liars looked like perfect, flawless ice queens! (Especially Spencer. Man, I have a serious girl crush.)
Alison arrived to the ball with her new set of minions. Spencer and the girls bolted to start their next plan of action. Aria and Emily stayed behind at the dance, and Aria spotted Alison making out with Santa!
What?! Did Alison make out with Detective Holbrook, who was dressed as Santa?! I could ship it. Knowing this show, there are about a dozen Santas at that party. Alison started sneaking around and stumbled upon CeCe! Gasp.
Emily confronted Sydney and Jenna about why they were on Team Alison. They weren't willing to defy Alison at this stage of a seriously dangerous game. They weren't the Liar's enemies, but needed to do what they had to do to survive.
"We think she killed Mona," Emily said.
"We do, too," Sydney replied. Dun dun dun.
Spencer and Hanna headed to Alison's house to investigate, and Toby was keeping watch. However, with each passing minute, he was getting increasingly worried about the girls. Hanna found a passport underneath a birdcage which sparked some intense curiosity.
Back at the party, Emily and Aria followed Alison and CeCe. But it wasn't them! It was one of her minions with the same dress, same EVERYTHING!
'Pretty Little Liars' Recap: Masks In The Attic
Toby was pretty much flipping out about Hanna and Spencer at this point. He had a reason to be — he spotted a hooded figure who was carrying a butcher knife! Spencer was hiding and cowering with fear. Hanna was still in the attic. Spencer texted Hanna to get out of the house, but Hanna's phone was downstairs! Run, Hanna, run!
Hanna found a box of Ali's notes in the attic. She found a note Alison sent to Bethany! Wait, what?!
Spencer made a makeshift knife out of broken glass. Nicely done, Spence.
"A" found Hanna in the attic! Before "A" could do any real damage, Spencer came to the rescue. However, someone else was in the attic hiding behind a mask!
Excuse me while I go cry my out eyes. These masks are getting to be too scary for me.
Dead Mona returned again to taunt Alison. In a terrifying dream sequence, Alison looked upon a casket with her body inside! (*Shudders*) Mona also added the bit about Alison losing her legs. At this point, nothing made sense. A woman in black showed up, and it was Mrs. D!
"Am I going to hell?" Alison asked. She cried and screamed to be let out of this crazy dream. Yes, Alison, you are.
Sadly, all the girls were celebrating Christmas without their parents. However, their hot boyfriends had a plan.
This was NOT a dream. We can all die happy.
They all celebrated together, and Alison watched from afar. After dinner, they walked outside to enjoy the Christmas lights. As always, "A" had a message.
"Merry Christmas, bitches," the Christmas lights read.
HollywoodLifers, what did you think of the Pretty Little Liars Christmas special? Will you ever be able to unsee Dead Mona? What does "A" have in store for the Liars? Let us know your thoughts below!

The Power of Pictures: Scientia est potentia
Know the cave paintings of Chauvet? Or the Bâton de commandement of Gourdan?
Ever felt respect for people studying the stars because of their human curiousness, but without the knowledge of the ages – how to describe what they've learned, how to store it, how to use it?
Describing what they've learned – needs formulas.
Storing it – needs writing.
Using it – needs teaching and tools.
All the things we know so well: script and science, training and technology.
The ancient people in the Ice Age didn't have, what's so ubiquitous for us – the knowledge of the ages.
The ancient people had to do their research on the very first steps of the power of human culture, of what the Roman saying describes: Scientia est potentia – knowledge is power. And the ancient people did it very well.
Look at their pictures. First they started with "normally looking" images, but soon the paintings got "ugly", loosing details while boldly emphasizing others: They had understood that the pictures could be used more precisely to describe an idea, if the part of the picture, showing the similarity to the idea, dominates and the other parts, disturbing the clearness of the idea, vanish.
So they discovered the symbol.
By emphasizing more and more the significance, by omitting more and more unnecessary details, they invented writing – first the painted writings of China and the hieroglyphs of Egypt, then the more abstract reduction of writing to syllables and at last our latin letters without any meaning left: a, b, c, d.
But look at the power of that letters! The pen is mightier than the sword, it is said.
Put the letters in the right way and they shake the world! Talk about hate and offended gods and the letters are able to incite riots over the whole world.
That's power.
And the ancient paintings did start this evolution – and the ancient people felt that power.
They felt how important it is to describe and store knowledge, because knowledge can be used.
Information is behavior: The more you know about a dynamical entity, a system, an object, a person or a nation, the better you can foresee the decisions and the resulting actions, the better you can control the situation.
The ancient people knew that – they knew that the power of information is usable by painting it precisely, by pictures of the observed to describe and to store it, to understand it and to foresee it and in the end: manipulate it.
And that's true until today, because guess, how even a mathematical function is called? Abbildung, Mapping.
The ancient people did just one mistake: they thought, that each and every mapping is powerful, but as we know now, that's not true. Only the provable, precise maps are useful, allowing to reconstruct the behavior (!) of the original system by the map.
The power of pictures: first magic, than science.
Evolution of knowledge, as humankind learned to optimize the new strategy of correctly describing and storing and teaching and using.
But interestingly, many of the ancient ideas survived.
The faith of the power of any picture exists in all veils on Earth. Yes, veils. They first weren't signals of inferiority, but signals of VIPs like the Chinese emperor, not allowed to be seen by the underlings, since they could use the "Evil Eyes" against him.
Like any animal fearing the spying eyes of predators – by which those try to gather enough information about the victims to use that information against them – humans fear the direct gaze until today. Just watch somebody some time – (s)he'll get nervous and many even get aggressive.
Together with the ancient knowledge, that mappings are the tools of information processing, it's easy to understand, that fearful people try to avoid being seen and painted: try to forbid making images of them.
Because a mapping can give knowledge – because an image can give power.
What surprises me much is that even our modern Gods are less powerful than images – because the verboten pictures have the same origin as ever: Images give power and no human shall have that power over God.
however - how can that be? Previous gods are of limited capabilities, sure, they may have reason to fear the power of the humans, but all the Abrahamic Gods are omnipotent, there is nothing left which should allow anything or anybody to have power over them, not even pictures, may they be good or bad.
But yes, i forgot: faith doesn't follow logical thinking. So believers can follow rules of cave painters which contradict their own faith, just because anything goes in faith and anything can be used to be offended?
Just asking.

Effective incentives are essential for achieving the preservation of historic heritage for present and futuregenerations. Incentives can be regulatory or non-regulatory, and may include a wide range of policies and methods. Incentives are a key aspect of the economics of historic heritage.
Donovan D. Rypkema is a leading international authority on the economics of heritage buildings. Rypkema visited New Zealand in November 2010 and gave a series of lectures on the economic value of heritage conservation. Rypkema emphasised the critical role of incentives in heritage conservation in 'bridging the market gap' which refers to the gap between the costs and value of a property or business. While costs involve the acquisition of the property, cost of the retrofit works and other associated expenses, value relates to operation (rent, vacancy, etc), financing amount, rate, return), equity (risk, alternatives, tax benefits) and the market return.
In simple terms, an economic market rate of return is calculated by identifying the costs and considering if the value of the property or business outweighs them. If the cost is in excess of value, then the property or business is unlikely to result in a commercial rate of return. The high cost of earthquake strengthening influences the market gap.
Not all heritage buildings are, however, commercial buildings. Community halls, churches, schools, apartments and dwellings operate on a non-commercial basis involving both private and public sources of funding. These places can also suffer from a gap between the cost of acquisition and maintenance of the building and available income and funding support.
This guide provides a toolkit of available heritage incentives in New Zealand. It also promotes the adoption of incentives for historic heritage. The guide provides information about regulatory and non-regulatory incentives.

The Conservative Party arrived in Manchester for their first conference under a majority Conservative Government in eighteen years. Given the long wait and the unexpected nature of the victory in May, this year's conference was always likely to be an opportunity for celebration amongst the party faithful. Add to that the (arguably) favourable outcome of the Labour leadership election and you can understand the high spirits of party members; at least once they had passed through the hordes of protesters and were safely inside the conference secure zone.
Despite the apparently calm waters the Conservatives currently find themselves in, there was still plenty to keep delegates interested, with the upcoming EU referendum and leadership rivalry between the Chancellor and Mayor of London two of the more obvious storm clouds on the horizon. Both issues received a lot of attention at the conference fringe events and in the bar of the Midland hotel.
For those of us with an energy interest it was a further opportunity to see what Conservative energy policy would look like in a post-Coalition world, after a summer which has seen criticism levelled at the Government from the renewables lobby for the changes to support for wind and solar. There was an agreement amongst many at the conference that there is a vacuum in energy policy which is still waiting to be filled now many of the policies of the Coalition have been swept away. Investors waiting for a clear signal of the Government's direction are likely to be kept waiting until the Autumn spending review, as the Secretary of State's speech gave little away beyond championing the consumer and placing decarbonisation on a more secure financial footing.
One notable outcome from the conference was the announcement that former Labour Peer Andrew Adonis will chair a new National Infrastructure Commission to independently assess the long term needs of the UK and the infrastructure that underpins economic growth. The Commission has the potential to make an important contribution to the debate around the future of energy networks, and could look at everything from the potential of smart grids and the smart meter roll out to energy efficiency, demand side response and integrating low carbon generation onto the grid. The energy industry has been crying out for an independent body to take a long term view of energy policy which is immune from the short termism of Government thinking. The National Infrastructure Commission is therefore very welcome news. The appointment of Andrew Adonis represents something of a coup for the Conservative Party, as he is generally considered to be one of the most eminent thinkers of Labour's years in Government and his defection will do nothing to quell the fears of many in the Labour Party under Jeremy Corbyn.
The conference came to a close on Wednesday with a speech from the Prime Minister which many feel represented his attempt to position the Conservatives firmly on the centre ground which has been vacated by Labour, and deliver another election victory in five years time. Achieving that against the background of an EU referendum and a Parliamentary majority of 16 will undoubtedly be far from straightforward. But at the moment spirits remain high, and not even the predictable Manchester downpours could dampen the mood.

The more things you invest in, the less you can lose if an individual investment turns out to be a dog. And let's face it, even the very best investors end up owning a few mongrels. At the same time, you need to keep your investments manageable, meaning there's not too much to track. So what's the right balance between spreading the risk and keeping the workload in check? Specifically, when it comes to the stock part of your investments, how many different stocks should you own?
A reader wrote to me with the following question:
Hi Rob,
I've been thinking about a few questions in regards to owning the stocks per your recommendations.
Is there a certain number of stocks you should hold in your portfolio? Let's say 10-15 stocks. Doesn't it get unmanageable if there are too many stocks?
What about, let's say, buying 8-10 stocks and keep adding more shares? I could always take the cash dividends and manually buy more shares.
Just wanted to get some feedback from you.
George T., California, USA
Thanks to George for the questions, which are good ones. Essentially there are two issues to address:
- How many stocks to own
- Whether and how to reinvest the cash from dividend income.
Today I'll start to answer the first question, with a follow up early next week (in the interest of brevity). Later next week, I'll deal with the right approach to putting dividend income to work for the best results, since it's a whole, important topic in its own right.
There are no free lunches in the world of investment, but the benefits of diversification are probably as close as you can get to one.
Diversification is simply the idea of not putting all your eggs in one basket, in case the handle breaks. The more you spread your money around, the smaller the risk of getting wiped out by unforeseen events.
Any investment can go wrong. Many do. So it's pretty obvious that if you have all or most of your money in just one thing then you're running a huge risk.
Some people's risk averse reaction is to sit on bank deposits, or similar. These are seen as low risk. But deposits will always make a very low return in the long run.
Even worse, once income taxes have been levied on interest income, and consumer price inflation has eaten away at buying power, sitting on too much cash – and holding it for too long – is actually one of the riskiest things that an investor can do.
This is why investment in higher return assets, such as stocks, is so essential. But stocks come with risks of their own, and these must be managed.
Also – and I can't stress this enough – diversification just for the sake of it is a bad idea.
Over the long run, owning a lot of assets with a poor profit outlook will clearly reduce returns, not improve them. A good example, right now, would be a large allocation to ultra low (or negative) yield bonds, such as those found in Japan and many European countries.
Each individual investment must be held for a good reason. Usually that's about profit potential over the long or short term. Sometimes it's for tactical reasons, such as hedging a stock market crash with an allocation to cash or long dated US treasuries.
(Both of which are currently included in my recommended portfolio allocation – see the table below, and here and here for more detailed explanation.)
In short, you need to diversify, but you need to diversify well. Everything you invest in should be owned for good reasons, not just because it's different to your other investments.
Currently, you can see from the table that I recommend a 40% allocation of financial investments into stocks – but only where prices are sensible.
Ordinarily, I'd like this allocation to be higher, given that stocks are such a great source of long term profit. But a lot of stocks are richly priced these days, especially in the huge US market, hence the relatively cautious stance.
You have to pick and choose carefully these days. Fortunately, it's a big world, and there's always something that's attractively priced.
Whether you have 40% of your investments in stocks…or 10% or 90%…how many should you own?
I usually recommend at least 20 stocks, and up to 30, built up over time. But there's no hard and fast rule.
There are situations when that can be safely lower, and more in line with George's suggestions of 10 to 15, or even 8 to 10. Where you end up comes down to personal preferences, and how you invest overall.
On which note, the monthly OfWealth Stock Investor report is dedicated to identifying the best stock opportunities that I can find. The first two recommendations have already achieved dollar gains of 11.6% (since November) and 10.4% (since December). In both cases, I believe the eventual upside potential is far greater.
Eventually, my intention is to build this into a portfolio of around 20 of my best stock ideas. (Click here if you're interested in becoming a member, and would like to learn more.)
Part II will explain in more detail how I arrived at these figures for how many different stocks you should own. Look out for it next week.
Stay tuned OfWealthers,
Rob Marstrand

The suicide death of SHINee lead singer Kim Jonghyun on Monday (Dec 18) has cast the spotlight on the pressure K-pop artistes face. But it has also brought depression, clinically known as major depressive disorder, to the fore.
In Singapore, depression is one of the top three mental health disorders, indicated the National Mental Health Survey conducted in 2010 by the Institute of Mental Health (IMH).
Besides persistently feeling sad or gloomy, there are other common symptoms of depression to look out for, said Dr Wang. These include a loss in the following areas: Interest in activities previously enjoyed, appetite, weight, sleep (or on the contrary, sleeping more).
Other signs include a sense of restlessness, ease of agitation, tiredness, an inability to concentrate, indecisiveness, feelings of worthlessness and guilt as well as recurrent thoughts of death. If a person experiences five or more of those symptoms for two weeks or longer, he is likely to be depressed, according to IMH.
"However, for some people, the symptoms may be hidden," said Dr Adrian Wang, consultant psychiatrist from Gleneagles Medical Centre. Like Jonghyun, these individuals may appear fine but may feel despondent or even suicidal.
"They may be putting up a brave front because they do not want others to worry about them, or may feel ashamed of their sad feelings which they (wrongly) think of as a sign of weakness," said Dr Wang.

Well, folks, we've been doing what-ifs on this for years, and now it looks like somebody's taking a crack at it. From WBTV:
NORTH CAROLINA (Théoden Janes/Charlotte Observer) – The most noteworthy film credits he's got to his name are producing and co-starring in a low-budget faith-based movie titled "Only God Can" and a small role as a character named John Rock in a practically-no-budget comedy titled "Cinema Purgatorio."
She, meanwhile, is a Charlotte consultant who works with a few private equity firms and has no prior experience in the film industry.
Yet the startup filmmaking team of John Oliver (no, not the HBO talk show host; this John Oliver primarily makes his living as a voice actor) and Stacy Anderson says they are extremely close to beginning production on an ambitious new movie project that features a screenplay by a New York Times bestselling author and is set to be directed by an established Hollywood name.
And the thing they're most excited about? "Revolutionary!" — which is the movie's working title — has the Carolinas written all over it.
It's to be set not far from Charlotte: Based on the Battle of Kings Mountain, the story centers on a ragtag band of militias backing the patriot cause that surprised and overwhelmed British-loyalist forces near the N.C.-S.C. line on Oct. 7, 1780, marking the first of a string of significant American victories that changed the course of the Revolutionary War in the South.
I haven't read anything by Patrick Davis, the guy doing the screenplay, but it looks like his oeuvre consists of military thrillers. Director Nick Searcy's got a whole slew of acting credits.
The good news is, they've already got NPS historians on board. And it's fitting that the people behind this have Carolina backgrounds and want to shoot the whole movie in the Old North State. Regional, state, and sectional concerns have galvanized efforts to commemorate and write about King's Mountain for well over a century. This is partly because people hailing from regions associated with the battle and the men who fought it have been foremost in perpetuating its legacy. That's what I've argued some of my own research into historical interpretations of King's Mountain.
Anyway, it'll be interesting to see how this progresses. Wonder if they'll go with my suggestion and cast James McAvoy as Ferguson?

Julie Foster
Pianist for God
My journey at the piano began when I was 5 or 6. My mom, a woman with the patience of Job, was my capable teacher. Despite consistent weekly practice, I struggled to read and understand notes.
While still being instructed in sight reading into my teens, I began desiring to play church music.
My mom bought me an instructional book of hymns and began teaching me how to play those songs by note. As I was able, my mom also began teaching me how to add chords.
Still, I struggled. I couldn't hear when to change chords, let alone hear which chord to progress to.
One night at church, I distinctly remember the Lord whispering to my heart that He was going to use my piano playing for His glory. This was unbelievable as well as terrifying! But I tucked that memo in my heart and when on timidly developing my fledgling talent.
When I was 17, I was encouraged by my pastoring parents to play the piano for altar services at our small church. This was a huge step for me. But a step in the right direction.
By this point, I was probably at a level 3 in my sheet music, though there were a lot of theory concepts that I simply didn't grasp.
A couple years later, I went to Bible College, still paranoid to play piano in public. I avoided any circumstance that would provide me opportunity to demonstrate how incapable I was at the piano.
My hiding didn't last very long. There was a need for piano players, and a lot of people who saw the potential in we students.
Slowly, I began to step into the role of a church pianist. It was a painful process that caused me to face my pride as well as my fear.
The student demographics provided diversity in music styles, something I learned to take advantage of. I became a student of the piano-playing students. I asked a lot of questions and picked up some tricks and licks. My own style began to broaden.
Slowly, my ear was developing.
By my Junior year in college, I was the pianist for the small group nursing home ministry I was a part of, as well as one of the pianists for the traveling outreach group.
It was there at Bible College that my thirst for music theory was whetted.
During this time, I was asked by a couple students to teach them how to play piano by ear. I was at a loss as to where to start. I had no materials. No how-to-learn-church-music-by-ear lesson plans. Attempting to reduce music theory to paper in a teachable way challenged me greatly. I gave a few lessons here and there.
After graduating with my Bachelor's in Biblical Literature, I went to live with my parents who were now assistant pastors in a church in South Texas. It wasn't long before I was recruited to be church pianist. And so it was that I received informal training by the pastor, an incredibly gifted musician and singer. He played the organ and assigned me to the piano or keyboard for church worship and altar services. He played chords I'd never heard and played in keys I'd never tried. But he challenged me. I can count on one hand the times he sat down at the piano and critiqued or instructed me. But he saw potential and gave me opportunity to grow beside him.
All along the way there were others from whom I gleaned precious insights – progressions, off chords, bits of theory, new songs. I could never claim to be a self-made pianist.
In 2011, I had the privilege of becoming a piano teacher to my niece, whose mother wanted her to learn to sight read as well as play church music by ear.
As time went on, I was blessed with several more students. It was during this time that the seed of teaching church music by ear began to grow into fruition.
After countless hours of studying and research, I began to create piano-by-ear instructional books based on practical music theory. Many years and ten books later, The Church Musician's Piano by Ear Course was completed in the Spring of 2019.
I continue to teach a diverse lot of students, mostly aspiring church pianists, from my home in Oklahoma.
It is a tremendous joy to know that many of my students, and former students, are ministering in music across the United States.

The head of Palliser Regional Schools is temporarily stepping aside after a controversial year addressing allegations of a "culture of fear" and abusive behaviour.
A release from district officials said superintendent Kevin Gietz is taking a temporary leave and will be replaced in the meantime by a familiar face.
The Board of Trustees of Palliser Regional Schools passed a resolution Tuesday to appoint Dr. Garry Andrews as acting superintendent, effective immediately. Andrews is no stranger to Palliser, having served as superintendent from 2004 to 2007.
Gietz has served as superintendent of Palliser Regional Schools since 2007, when he succeeded Andrews. Gietz joined Palliser in 2005 as an associate superintendent working as part of Andrews' team.
Earlier this year, an online petition, started by a group calling itself Concerned Parents of Palliser Schools, asked for an investigation and independent review into the school system after allegations of a "culture of fear" and alleged abusive behaviour by Gietz.
Palliser Regional Schools and Gietz have denied the allegations, claiming they "are entirely without merit."
Gietz himself requested an independent operational review in January, but the process has been delayed several times.

The public has been left with many unanswered questions as to why Geitz has taken a temporary leave, but the board is not willing to release any details at this time.
The board's motion appointing Andrews is for a term ending July 4 or until Gietz returns.
No further details of the leave will be made public in keeping with privacy legislation.

Just days before his death director John Singleton's mother filed for conservatorship over his estate, to loud the objections of his daughter Cleopatra [click here if you missed that].
Now an attorney has been appointed to represent the late director...
From The Blast
An attorney was appointed by the court on Monday to represent John Singleton's interests — in the battle between his mother and daughter over conservatorship — on the same day the legendary director passed away.
According to court documents obtained by The Blast, an attorney named Yasha Bronshteyn was named to "act as counsel for John Singleton, the proposed conservatee."
The order states that Bronshteyn "shall have access and authority to review and copy the medical records of John Singleton, the proposed conservatee, without his/her consent."

Our story begins with Cordelia talking about all the utility and rent bills they need to pay. Cordy again mentions that Angel needs to start charging for his help. Doyle agrees. First of all, if paying the bills is a problem, maybe they should ask Angel how he's handled them in the past, since he seemed to manage okay in Sunnydale and here in Los Angeles before they showed up. Second, when did Doyle go from being Jiminy Cricket to Jacob Marley? Doyle says Angel hates asking his clients for money, and prefers "playing the hero, walking off into the dark, his long coat flying behind him in a mysterious and attractive way..." We join Cordy in marveling at a new record for working some homoeroticism into an episode of the show, but Doyle denies he is personally attracted to the great poof (tm Spike). While Angel clunks his way upstairs, and Cordy suggests that they take a stand on charging a fee with Angel, "just as soon as he's had his coffee." (For those tracking inconsistencies, Fox1013 notes that Angel said coffee made him jittery back on BtVS.) Angel comes in, fills his mug, takes a sip and is disgusted by the week-old sludge, in a bit of comedic business as stale as the coffee. Another dreary argument about money starts up, but this time Doyle gets the headache before I do. Plus, he has a blipverty vision. As Doyle recovers, he demands a pen, paper, and a single-malt scotch. Doyle introduces the victim of the week: Melissa Burns, employed at Pardell Paper Products. Then he chugs the drink Angel hands him, only to discover it's actually polymalt. Angel goes off in search of the guest star, walking off in slow motion with his coat billowing behind him, and Doyle confesses, "Maybe I'm a little attracted."
The score as we go to credits is Attempted Jokes: 4, Actual Jokes: 0.
Melissa at work. Birthday cake for co-worker has the wrong name. Good-natured office joshing. Flowers arrive for Melissa with a card signed "My undying love, Ronald." Melissa nervously pops into the bathroom, where she gulps down three pills at once, washing them down with a splash of water from the sink. Yum. Next, she enters the parking garage, where she is menaced by a shadowy figure who turns out to be Angel. Angel offers her one of his cards, saying that he thinks she may need his help. She says she can't afford him; he says he doesn't charge. Melissa winds up suspicious and nervous and so she gets into her car and leaves.
Back at the office, Angel asks if he's intimidating. Cordy offers, "As vampires go, you're pretty cuddly. Maybe you should think about mixing up the black-on-black look." Doyle has apparently spent the interval thinking up new rationales for charging clients: "People get attached to a mysterious savior, and can you blame them? But as long as you're just a man who's doing a job, and getting paid, they can feel like they've paid their debt to you and they can move on." Cordy says Doyle is smarter than he looks, "of course, you look like a retard." A blipvert gives us a chance to release our pent-up gales of laughter.

Rogers Peak can be easily sequenced with Mt. Warren for a quick and easy Class 2 hike that is passenger car accessible. This hike can be easily done in under two hours. Close access to the Front Range.
From either Idaho Springs (Exit 240 on I-70) or Bergen Park, (Exit #252 to Evergreen Parkway from westbound I-70, then turn west onto the Squaw Pass Road), drive to Echo Lake on HWY 103 (aka: Squaw Pass Road in Bergen Park), then take the Mt. Evans Road (entrance fee required) and drive to Summit Lake where you can park. When driven from Bergen Park, this road does a lot of winding around and receives a lot of bicycle traffic in the summer, especially on weekends. A nice bike lane has been added to the older, more narrow portion of the road that has helped to alleviate some of the dangers posed by such a multiple use road.
Designated National Forest campground at Echo Lake. Fee required.
From the Summit Lake parking area, hike along the trail on the east end of the lake and then veer ENE onto the Mt. Warren ridge. Initially, there's a mix of tundra, small scree & gravel. About half way up the ridge changes over to more rock with larger blocks and tundra in between. Keep walking ENE to the large, somewhat flat summit area. Our notes describe the summit as having one area of large boulders that appeared higher than any other group of boulders strew around. Walk over to that group of boulders and scramble onto the highest one for the hollow victory. Be prepared for high winds. If you're making the effort to hike this peak, it only makes sense to continue on to Rogers Peak.
Here's a couple ideas on how you can complete these two summits without having to set up a car shuttle. 1. When you complete Rogers and drop back down to the road, and hitchhike back to Summit Lake. 2. If you have two persons but one vehicle, drop one person off on the road below Rogers. Person #2 drives on up to Summit Lake and begins hiking to Warren then on to Rogers while Person #1 hikes up Rogers then continues on to Warren. Somewhere along they way they pass each other and hand off the keys to the vehicle. Person #1 arrives at Summit Lake and drives the vehicle back down to pick up Person #2. This setup can be completed in an hour and result in bagging two 13ers.
For a more "sporting" way to climb both Warren and Rogers, see the Chicago Creek/Lakes route description that starts at Echo Lake for Spaulding and Gray Wolf.
Rogers Peak is sequenced with Mt. Warren. One way mileage and elevation gain are measured from the summit of Mt. Warren. Round-trip mileage and elevation gain assumes completion of this route as we have outlined with some kind of vehicle shuttle to complete the hike.
From the summit of Mt. Warren, continue walking ENE following the broad ridge. If you wander off to the north side, there are some impressive views down into the Chicago Creek area. It's a fair amount of distance at relatively the same elevation before you begin to drop to the Warren-Rogers saddle. The terrain is largely tundra with more sporadic areas of those granite boulders thrown in. Most of these rocky boulder areas are easily avoidable and/or do not impede progress to any large degree. After passing the saddle at 12,950 ft., head on up to Rogers. The terrain will change to mostly these large boulders/rocks, but still with some areas of tundra and embedded rocks. The summit itself is nothing but a conglomeration of boulders.
Once you've enjoyed the view, continue along the ridge to the NE dropping down on mostly tundra to a saddle at 12,660 ft. At the saddle, make a hard right and finish the drop SE of another 200 feet down to the Mt. Evans Road. Hopefully you have a plan in place as to how to return to your vehicle. Of course, from the summit of Rogers, you could just backtrack over Warren to your vehicle.

Attic remodeling and renovation
Space may be the last frontier, but at home, people are finding boundaries and must do what is available. If the house gets small, there are ways to make it look bigger and maybe doing attic renovation and renovation work could be the solution.
The attic is the best place as it can be transformed from storage space to living space. It can be converted into an additional room, a games room, an office, a library or a gym.
Before you can start your project, you need to check how much usable space in the attic can be converted. Ideally, the height of each wall should be at least 5 feet. You should take this very seriously to avoid bumping your head.
If the height of the walls does not reach the minimum required, adjust it by converting the roof so that it is tilted upwards. Another option will be to change that into a gable roof that goes straight up.
Homeowners living in older homes will also need to reinforce their ceiling joists. This can be found under the attic floor and used to support the extra weight that will be introduced into the room, such as a new bed, sofa, TV or even a bathtub. To do this, you may need to reduce some of the space available in the cramp room.
Attic remodeling and renovation also requires proper insulation, ventilation and lighting. For insulation, you will need to install extra layers so that it is not too hot or too cold all year round. You can also control the temperature by inserting air ducts. In terms of lighting, you can install a skylight on the ceiling and windows, which will surely save you money on your electricity bill.
For those planning to put a bathroom in the attic, you must connect it to the nearest source.
You must also work on the access to the attic and this can only be done by installing a staircase. If you use a straight staircase, it should be 3 feet by 16 feet. For those who want to use a spiral staircase, it must measure 5 feet in diameter. The building code prohibits the use of ladders if that leads to a bedroom, but not if it leads to an attic.
If you are unsure whether your attic can be refurbished or renovated, you can contact the building inspector or an architect. If possible, you can already start planning what you want to do, then hire a contractor to do the rest.
When looking for an ideal entrepreneur, you must call several. You must not only compare their rates, but also check their background to see if they have fired employees working for them, if they are insured and if they have done a good job with previous clients. Once the screening is done, it's time to decide who will manage the project.
Redeveloping and renovating the attic should not cost you a fortune, as you only work on a small part of the house. Once the operation is complete, you can appreciate its current appearance compared to what it was before: a room filled with old objects and boxes.

Walter Isaacson's biography of Steve Jobs doesn't go on sale until Monday, but advanced copies have been delivered to the New York Times, Associated Press and Huffington Post, all of which have been dribbling out telling insights and factoids about Apple's former CEO.
We'll be getting our own copy of the book – simply titled Steve Jobs – on Monday. Until then, enjoy these surprising peeks into the life and psyche of the 21st century's most famous, if not celebrated, CEO.
Steve Wanted to go 'Thermonuclear' on Android
Jobs was livid when HTC introduced an Android phone that shared a number of iPhone features in early 2010. An excerpt from the book:
"I will spend my last dying breath if I need to, and I will spend every penny of Apple's $40 billion in the bank, to right this wrong," Jobs said. "I'm going to destroy Android, because it's a stolen product. I'm willing to go thermonuclear war on this." He told Google's Eric Schmidt, "I don't want your money. If you offer me $5 billion, I won't want it. I've got plenty of money. I want you to stop using our ideas in Android, that's all I want.'' [AP]
Interesting to note: Jobs' vendetta is still going on full force – just look at litigation battlesbetween Apple and Samsung over patents owned by Apple. One of the most recent developments could be seriously detrimental to the Android platform. An Australian judge issued a temporary injunction banning the sale of the Samsung Galaxy Tab in Australia because it infringes on two patents held by Apple relating to multitouch. Because multitouch is such a broadly defined technology, the injunction could impede any Android product release in Australia.
Steve Expected to Die Young
Jobs confided to former Apple CEO John Sculley that he believed he would die young, and therefore needed to accomplish very much very quickly in order to make his mark on Silicon Valley history.
"We all have a short period of time on this earth," he told the Sculleys. "We probably only have the opportunity to do a few things really great and do them well. None of us has any idea how long we're going to be here nor do I, but my feeling is I've got to accomplish a lot of these things while I'm young." [Huffington Post]
Jobs' now famous 2005 Stanford commencement speech expanded on his views of life, death and our limited time on earth. At that event, he said, "Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life."
Steve Became an Expert on Cancer Treatment – If Only Too Late
Despite pleas from friends and family, Jobs initially declined surgery to treat his cancer, waiting nine months before going under the knife. As the book reports: "The big thing was that he really was not ready to open his body," Jobs' wife, Laurene Powell, said. "It's hard to push someone to do that."
However, when Jobs finally did come around to traditional medical treatments, he did so with all the intellectual penetration of Apple product development. Or so reports the book:
"When he did take the path of surgery and science, Mr. Jobs did so with passion and curiosity, sparing no expense, pushing the frontiers of new treatments. According to Mr. Isaacson, once Mr. Jobs decided on the surgery and medical science, he became an expert – studying, guiding and deciding on each treatment. Mr. Isaacson said Mr. Jobs made the final decision on each new treatment regimen." [NYT]
Jobs became one of only 20 people in the world to have all the genes of both his cancer tumor and normal DNA sequenced – a project that cost $100,000 at the time. The innovative treatments Jobs received would soon turn cancer into a "manageable chronic disease," a doctor told him. Jobs told Isaacson that he felt that he was either going to be one of the first "to outrun a cancer like this" or be among the last "to die from it."
Steve Was Intent on Setting Up Apple For Future Success
Acutely aware of his own mortality, Jobs wanted to ensure Apple remained strong in his absence.
"Hewlett and Packard built a great company, and they thought they had left it in good hands," Jobs told Isaacson. "But now it's being dismembered and destroyed. I hope I've left a stronger legacy so that will never happen at Apple." [AP]
Jobs worked diligently to groom top talent, according to The Wall Street Journal, after his initial cancer diagnosis. Indeed, Apple reportedly has a program called "Apple University" that began in 2008 and acts like an MBA program to pass on Apple culture and business ethos to top executives – ensuring that Jobs' ideals will live on long after he's gone.
Steve Didn't Think Apple Was Ready For Apps
The book shares that Jobs at first "quashed the discussion" when Apple board member Art Levinson attempted to persuade him that mobile apps would be the next big thing.
Apple board member Art Levinson told Isaacson that he phoned Jobs "half a dozen times to lobby for the potential of the apps," but, according to Isaacson, "Jobs at first quashed the discussion, partly because he felt his team did not have the bandwidth to figure out all the complexities that would be involved in policing third-party app developers." [Huffington Post]
Steve Was, Yeah, Sort of a Hippie
Jobs' early experiences with LSD in the 1960s, along with a character-forming trip to India, are well documented. And it seems the effects of these experiences reverberated through the rest of his life decisions.
Jobs said that he tried a number of different diets, including solely of fruits and vegetables. When he named Apple, he told Isaacson he was "on one of my fruitarian diets." Jobs had just returned from an apple farm. He believed the name sounded "fun, spirited and not intimidating."
Jobs also said LSD "reinforced my sense of what was important – creating great things instead of making money, putting things back into the stream of history and of human consciousness as much as I could." [AP]
The Beatles were one of his favorite bands, and he always hoped to get the iconic group's music on iTunes. This was eventually accomplished in late 2010.

Harvest Market
Project DetailsHarvest Market is a small, non-profit grocery store in the Eugene Field neighborhood in west Tulsa. After several years of operating in a small retail space near Eugene Field School and an adjacent housing project, Harvest Market is expanding into a full scale grocery store catering specifically to the low income community in the neighborhood. A food desert, the Eugene Field neighborhood has long been reliant on neighborhood convenience stores or long trips on public transportation to purchase the bare necessities. Harvest Market, originally a project of First United Methodist Church, now a separate non-profit, is heavily subsidized and run by volunteers but has struggled to meet the demand of the neighborhood residents. An expanded market will bring more variety, including fresh produce from adjacent family food plots, and additional purchasing power, allowing the operators to purchase wholesale goods at better prices. As a specific recommendation in the City of Tulsa's adopted Small Area Plan for the neighborhood, the City of Tulsa committed the funds for the infrastructure of the project. The estimated $2 million expanded market development will provide a more complete offering of groceries for neighborhood residents, thus greatly reducing the food desert effect. In addition, being located on 23rd street, a major daily commute corridor for downtown traffic, the expansion will greatly increase its overall patronage, thus increasing revenue and overall operational sustainability.
