While use of reverse mortgages isn't widespread, advisors should nonetheless brush up on the products, as they could become the next "hot topic," according to Wade Pfau, professor of Retirement Income in the Ph.D. in Financial and Retirement Planning program at The American College of Financial Services.
Pfau, along with other retirement planning experts and advisors, weighed in on the topic of reverse mortgages for seniors during a joint meeting March 23 in Washington by The American College of Financial Services and the Bipartisan Policy Institute.
Jocelyn Wright, director of The American College State Farm Center for Women in Financial Services, said during a panel at the event, titled the 2018 Housing Wealth in Retirement Symposium, that she sees a lack of education about reverse mortgages among advisors' clients as well as advisors themselves.
There are "a lot of misconceptions about reverse mortgages," Wright said, with clients often "very reluctant to go into the conversation because their home is the largest asset and they don't want to risk" losing it.
"There's also more education needed among the advisor population," Wright added. Advisors are often reluctant "to bring up the conversation with clients because they are not aware fully of all of the aspects of a reverse mortgage, which in many cases might be to their [clients'] detriment."
Providing "comprehensive financial planning to clients" should include having a conversation about a reverse mortgage to determine "if it should be pursued."
Wright said she'd encourage advisors to work with a reverse mortgage specialist to get a better handle on their benefits and drawbacks.
Pfau told ThinkAdvisor in separate comments that while reverse mortgages "are still not used prevalently," with less than 2% of qualifying households using them, they should still be on advisors' radar.
Why? "Home equity is such an important asset and interest is growing as the media now reports much more positively about reverse mortgages," Pfau said. "More clients will have questions, and this could evolve into the next hot topic as Social Security claiming was several years ago."
The new tax cut law also ushered in changes that impact reverse mortgages. While the tax overhaul eliminated deductions for home equity interest starting in 2018, deductions are still allowed for acquisition debt interest. If a reverse mortgage is used to buy a home, the debt is acquisition debt and interest on it is deductible.
Benjamin Mandel, executive director of J.P. Morgan Asset Management, who sat on the panel with Wright, said that in terms of baby boomers' balance sheets "non-financial assets matter a lot." Financial assets, he said, "only account for a third of growth in the baby boomer assets side of the balance sheet," with "two-thirds [of growth coming from] nonfinancial assets — and that's dominated by primary and secondary residences."
Lori Trawinski, director of banking and finance at AARP Public Policy Institute, said that the public would "greatly benefit" from products other than the Federal Housing Authority's Home Equity Conversion Mortgage loan program.
"To the extent that the proprietary market could focus on rebuilding itself and getting away from the government guarantee, that would help because … the Mutual Mortgage Insurance Fund is under great stress."
The likelihood of Housing and Urban Development "taking action to tighten the program going forward I think is high because the existing book of business is going to continue to see losses," she said.
AARP has "done a lot to support reverse mortgage consumers," Trawinski said, but "much more work remains to be done."
Nonpayment of property taxes and/or homeowners' insurance "continues to lead to foreclosures and ultimately evictions for many older borrowers," she continued, with the latest data from HUD's 2016 actuarial report finding that, at that time, 89,000 loans were in tax and insurance default for nonpayment for the last 12 months. "That's a pretty high number [as] at that time [there were] fewer than 600,000 loans outstanding."

Madison recently spoke out about keeping in touch with another current reality TV star, Kendra Wilkinson, states RadarOnline.com. "I love seeing what [Kendra] is doing. I usually hear what she's up to from her beforehand but seeing it play out is always a lot of fun," Madison commented to 'Star' magazine.
And it seems that Madison couldn't be happier for the changes that have gone on in Wilkinson's life: "Kendra and Hank are such a good combination; they made such an adorable and unique looking baby."

CHICAGO (CBS) — A Pilsen man accused of putting swastika stickers on the doors and breaking a window of a synagogue in the Loop last week has been released from the Cook County Jail after he posted bond Friday.
Stuart Wright, 31, posted the requisite 10 percent of his $150,000 bail to secure his release on Friday, court records show. His next court date has not been set.
Wright, an accountant, was charged with a hate crime and criminal damage to property for allegedly placing two swastika stickers on the front doors and smashing a front glass window at the Chicago Loop Synagogue, 16 S. Clark St., in the early hours of Feb. 4.
At his bond hearing earlier this week, prosecutors said Wright was turned in by a tipster who described him as a local white supremacist who had Nazi paraphernalia outside his Pilsen residence.
Fingerprints taken from the swastika stickers matched those recently taken from Wright for a pending aggravated assault and disorderly conduct case in Elmhurst, prosecutors said. There were also three small cuts on Wright's hand.
The tipster mentioned that Wright was known to drive a Toyota 4Runner. The tipster also said Wright was a "skinhead" and provided authorities with the license plate of the SUV, according to Wright's police report.
Wright lives in the 2000 block of South Loomis but is also associated with addresses listed in Oak Brook and Elmhurst, prosecutors said.

You've likely never even considered the fact that low stomach acid could be part of the problem. Consider it today with these 33 ways to tell if you have low stomach acid.
Low stomach acid is one of the SIBO causes.
In fact, I believe my own SIBO always returned due to low stomach acid.
Problems don't go away with drugs and medication unless we fix the underlying problem, and this is why I am such a huge believer in functional and preventative medicine.
What is Low Stomach Acid?
Low stomach acid, also called hypochlorhydria, is when the body doesn't produce enough in order to break down proteins into essential amino acids and nutrients the body needs. (By the way, there is also something known as achlorhydria, which is even lower stomach acid than hypochlorhydria.)
While studying at The Institute for Integrative Nutrition, I learned that HCL converts or activates pepsinogen to pepsin which digests proteins. HCL decreases as we age.
Despite the fact that the drug industry tells us stomach acid is a bad thing, it is not. Well, at least not always. In fact, stomach acid is needed in order to break food down.
The amount of stomach acid we have decreases as we age, and so oftentimes people will go to their doctors, tell them they are experiencing acid reflux and they will be given an antacid and sent along their way.
The antacid, of course, only reduces stomach acid even more, masking a problem and causing a harsh ripple effect.
But how do you know if you have low stomach acid?
It's not always easy to know, but it can also be fairly obvious.

Good Practices for Water Quality Management in Research Reactors and Spent Fuel Storage Facilities
Excellent water quality in research reactors and spent fuel wet storage facilities is essential to prevent degradation of research reactor components and aluminium clad fuel elements, and to achieve optimum storage performance. A lot of information is available in the open literature on this subject but no comprehensive document addressing the rationale of water quality management in research reactors has been published so far. This publication is intended to fill this gap by providing a comprehensive catalogue of good practices for management of water quality. It is intended to assist research reactor managers and operators in implementing water quality programmes in their facilities. Once implemented, such programmes will help to improve the performance of the reactor, provide natural life extension and minimize corrosion in both research reactor internals and spent fuel cladding in wet storage facilities, thus maintaining its integrity and safety until the spent fuel can be moved to a dry storage facility,or is submitted for final disposal or reprocessing.

The President of the autonomous Iraqi Kurdish Region reiterated on Sunday that the referendum on the independence of the Kurdish region from Iraq is to take place on its set date, AlKhaleejonline.com has reported. Postponing the referendum is "absolutely impossible," Masoud Barzani told the Saudi newspaper Okaz.
Barzani explained that the Kurds do not want to go back to the "failed" 100-year-old experiment. That is why they are firm about having the referendum, he said.
He denied that he told US Secretary of State Rix Tillerson that he agreed to delay the referendum. "No, I did not agree to delay the referendum," he insisted, "but I did agree to start a dialogue with Baghdad to reach a framework for a better future for both sides," he insisted.

MBA Admission: Interview Recommendations
The significance of the MBA course admission interview varies from college to college. For students, looking for distance education degree, it might be not required at all. For example, when I was looking for the suitable college, one of the main criteria was no interview at all. I was not sure if I can convert my relatively poor spoken English and my heavy accent to a winning card. But for you, that might be not an issue at all, and you can waive the limitation, I intentionally placed for myself.
You may know that some schools are very aggressive about interviewing candidates. Kellogg, for instance, is terrific about it. The school has long set the standard for interviewing. And not only does UNC – Chapel Hill (Kenan-Flagler) require an interview of U.S. applicants, but it requires that the interview be conducted on campus. So the interview can be important at some schools and, at those schools, I certainly would not list it last.
Who Should and Who Shouldn't Interview?
If you think you're a bad interviewer, stay home. Let your application do the talking for you. So it's up to you. But if you feel comfortable meeting new people, then go for it. A lot of applicants have to meet new people daily as part of their jobs, so they get very good at interacting with strangers. Those people should always interview, as that can scientifically improve their admission chances.
Should I Interview with an Admissions Officer or an Alumnus?
It's best to interview with someone on the admissions committee, but that isn't always possible. You shouldn't worry too much, though, if you end up having to interview with an alumnus or even a current student. That person will write up a report that will go into your file. Just try to get along with your interviewer.
A Few Recommendations on the Interview Arrangement
1. You have to know if you should ask for an interview or wait to be invited for one. If you have to ask for an interview before the application materials are received, then take care of that as soon as possible, even if you're not certain that you will definitely apply to the school. It's free and necessary, so just get it out of the way. I realized that the interview works both ways. Just as you're selling yourself to the admissions officer, they're trying to sell the school to you also. This may give a different perspective about the school that may change your mind about applying there, or encourage your decision to apply there.
2. If you're going to try and arrange an interview with a popular school around an MBA fair, call early, because those slots fill up early.
3. Find out who is interviewing you and look up some background information for conversational fodder and insight into the interviewer's perspective.
4. Practice the interview with someone who has ample interview experience. Although your answers may be correct, this will allow you to hone your body language, e.g. eye contact, posture, and minimal hand gestures. Also practice ad lib interview. You never know what the interviewer might ask. If you practice thinking on your feet, you will no doubt think better on your feet.
5. Whenever possible, interview with someone of the opposite sex.
6. Dress formally unless your interview is with an alumnus and the situation calls for casual clothes.
7. Relax! Don't come off as stiff and overly formal. You want your interviewer to like you, so treat him or her like a friend.
8. Prepare your answers ahead of time.
9. Always plan to arrive 15 minutes early. Parking at some campuses can be difficult and most of the time you will need to obtain a parking pass and go back out to your car to place it in your window. (Usually the MBA program office can help validate and suggest parking locations.)
Typical Interview Questions
The questions asked by admissions people at different schools are often surprisingly similar. So, you can prepare your session quite well, based on the other people experience and advices. There is a little variation, but the basic interview process goes as follows.
Phase 1 – Your Upbringing and Undergraduate Experience
Be sure to prepare a brief outline of your upbringing before going to your interview. But don't bring the paper with you. It's easy to get lost and ramble into a long pointless diatribe when talking about your upbringing, so make your replies short and to the point.
They will generally ask a number of questions about your undergraduate experience.
* What was your major?
* Did you like it?
* Do you think your grades are an accurate reflection of your ability?
* Did you work as an undergrad? (This is important because it may help to explain why your GPA isn't 4.0).
Phase 2 – Work Experience since Leaving College
You need to know your whole work history before walking into the interview. Look up the approximate dates of promotions or job transfers. The questions go something like the following:
* What was your first job out of undergrad?
* Have you been promoted?
* Have you ever supervised employees?
* Have you switched firms? If so, why?
* Can you give me an example of a time that you demonstrated leadership?
* What is your definition of teamwork?
* What would you say is your biggest weakness?
* What are your greatest strengths?
* How would your colleagues describe you?
* Make sure you have numbers in your tips, the revenue and profit numbers of the organization you are working for or numbers related to your industry.
Phase 3 – Career Goals & MBA Plans
This is the part of your story that has to hold together. If they ask about career goals and you tell them something that is completely inconsistent with your experience, you're going to be in trouble.
* Be sure to mention a career goal that actually requires (or benefits from) an MBA.
* Be able to answer the question, "Why do you need an MBA?"
* Be able to answer the question, "Why do you need an MBA from this school?"
* What makes you stand out among other candidates?
* What are your expectations of this program?
* Where do you see yourself in ten years?
* Tell me about a specific situation in your professional career where you solved an important problem.
Phase 4 – Your Turn to Ask Questions
Be sure to study the school before interviewing so you can ask informed questions about it. Ask insightful questions. Do not ask questions whose answers can be found on the website. Knowing specific details about the program should convince the interviewer that you are serious about attending his school. Do not be afraid of asking a candid question near the end of the interview, e.g. "Do you think I am the type of person who would fit into Wharton?" Most likely, the interviewer will be honest and provide you with valuable tips. And let the interviewer know that if you are accepted, you WILL attend.
There some other questions you might want to ask:
* Quote a comment that you read about the school in an article like "X tries to increase the average GMAT". Ask the interviewer about how the school plans to increase the GMAT and what is the rationale behind it (make sure that you ask the question pertaining to that school, don't ask about X if you are not interviewing for X).
* How strong is the alumni network of the school?
* What are the events that alumni organize?
* How strong is the alumni network in your country (if you are an international student)?
* What kind of partnerships does the school have with other business schools?
* How strong is the association of the school with the parent University?
* Can you take courses at other schools in the university (like school of engineering, etc.)?
* What is the ratio of tenured to visiting faculty?
* Does the school have chaired professors and centers for advanced studies in topic of your interest?
During the Interview
* Be relaxed. The interview panel might try to gauge your reaction by putting you under stress.
* Do not waver once you have answered. Confidence is the key.
* Don't show your desperation to get into any particular school. This is not the end of the world. If you are the right candidate, the school needs you as much as you need them. This attitude will also surface in your confidence and relaxed approach.
* Be enthusiastic and cheerful during the interview. If you allow it, it will be like meeting someone interesting at a cocktail party.
* Be polite (even if the admissions secretary is busy and doesn't have time for your request).
* Make eye contact. You don't have to necessarily look at your interviewer 100 percent of the time, but make as much eye contact as possible without making the other person uncomfortable.
* If offered a beverage, accept graciously.
* Be yourself (pretending to be something you're not will quickly surface in these informal conversations…and being yourself is the only way to ensure consistency across conversations and interviews).
* You should use simple wording and short sentences to keep the interviewer's attention or he/she may get bored and impatient. Stimulate the atmosphere with a lively voice and an occasional enthusiastic giggle if appropriate (i.e. Smile with your heart). This is essential to creating a good impression on the telephone. Furthermore, you should be able to sense through the interviewer's voice, rather than eye contact or facial expression, his/her reaction to your answers and make appropriate adjustments quickly. In a word, you need to convey to the interviewer, in no more than 30 minutes, that you are the person he/she is looking for.
After the Interview
* Write a thank you note or letter to your interviewer as soon as possible.
* If you have met and spoken to other admissions representatives, write to them as well. Your notes and/or letters are sent to your file and are considered when your application is reviewed.

Comedian, Bovi opens up on lessons he learnt from late 2Pac.
According to the comedian, most people are concerned with public relations and getting big names for themselves without substance beneath.
Bovi took to his social media page, revealing some lessons he learnt from the late 2Pac.
"20 years today! Still relevant!!!! The lessons I learned from Pac both when he was alive and after his life have had a tremendous impact on my methods. But most important of all is I learned that only a man's works can speak for him and keep him relevant! These days, many people focus on having big names," He wrote
"You see them in the news, on the blogs, on tv and everywhere else. Funny thing is, they have so big a PR presence, it dwarfs their work! For some, it's PR without any body of work to show. And our younger ones are beginning to think that's the right way! Hype is like a balloon, it takes a pin to burst one. Work is like the sky; if u look up u will see it! @najitedede said something profound. "People admire a beautiful cake but nobody really eats the icing." I wanna be a cake! Don't wanna be all ice."

The dust devils swirl about his feet, as he wanders down the track.
The afternoon sun shines through the trees, and with the dust combine to form a golden haze.
A haze that bathes the road in its soft light.
There is an effect of looking backwards through time, as though through a magic mirror.
His swag is rolled upon his back, and the blackened billy swings by his leg bumping as he goes.
His face is neither young nor old, and his battered hat is pulled down at brim, with corks swinging free.
He is the quintessential Swaggie.
The disdainful glance he gives me as I pass by leaves me wondering.
I wonder at the purpose of my journey and the so-called security of my road.
To see and hear the natures chorus to which my eyes and ears are closed.
The sounds of bush companions I cannot understand.
Are gifts he has that I can never know.
I wonder why he walks alone with his dog at his side.
His own mentor in this land.
He wears his status with dignity, where I see only tattered clothes.
I see, but am blind to the reality.
When the chill winds of winter blow and the leaves are dry and fall, what then?
How does this man of substance live, how does he manage?
What place becomes his refuge? This man without a friend.
The road ahead is empty, the trees are silent and still, no welcome there.
The land is quiet and timeless captured in the moment.
The sky is as blue as the ocean, with a golden haze bathing it all.
As I pass the Swaggie, I know I won't forget.
How many memories do we hold of times like this and more?
Memories that stir a chord when reality is knocking at our door.

BALTIMORE, Md. (Thursday, January 16 2019) – Utah Royals FC added three players in the 2020 NWSL College Draft on Thursday, selecting Tziarra King with the 8th pick in the draft, Kate Del Fava with the 12th pick and Cyera Hintzen with the 31st pick.
"We are thrilled to welcome Tziarra, Kate and Cyera, to the Utah Royals FC family," said Utah Royals FC General Manager Stephanie Lee. "With this draft we were hopeful to select talent that can make an impact immediately, and also down the road we believe these players check that box. We are eager to see what they bring to the pitch both this year and in years to come."
King capped her senior season at North Carolina State where she started 22 of her 23 appearances in 2019 and scored 13 goals. In total during her four years at NC State, King notched 48 goals in 88 appearances at forward and finished top three in the Atlantic Coast Conference and top 35 in the NCAA in both goals and appearances. The Sicklerville, New Jersey native was a regular on the All-ACC first and second teams from her sophomore to senior years and earned academic accolades in all four years at NC State.
Del Fava arrives in Utah after a standout college career at Illinois State where she made 84 appearances in the Red Bird midfield where she scored 25 goals over four seasons. Named the Missouri Valley Conference Player of the Year in 2019, Del Fava was named to the All-MVC First Team three times and was named the Linda Herman Female Scholar-Athlete of the Year for the 2018-19 academic year. During her senior season, she led the conference in goals scored (17), points (39), shots on goal (35) and game-winning goals (6).
Being named to the 2018-19 MAC Herman Trophy Preseason watchlist, Hintzen started and featured in 17 matches for the Texas Longhorns in 2019 where she scored five goals and added four assists. In 2018, Hintzen became the first Longhorns player to earn Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year honors after scoring 10 goals in 21 total appearances during her junior year. Hintzen also earned the Big 12 Freshman of the Year in 2016.

What is DeadLock and difference between DeadLock and Starvation?
- If two threads are waiting for each other forever such type of infinite waiting is called deadlock.
- Synchronized is the only reason for deadlock situation hence while using synchronized keyword we have to take special care.
- There is no resolution technique for deadlock but several prevention techniques are available.
- Deadlock in java is a condition which occurs when two or more threads get blocked waiting for each other for an infinite period of time to release the resources(Locks) they hold. Deadlock is the common problem in multi-threaded programming which can completely stop the execution of an application. So, extra care needs to be taken while writing the multithreaded programs so that deadlock never occurs.
Example:-- package com.java4us; public class DeadLock extends Thread { A a = new A(); B b = new B(); public void run() { try { b.d2(a); } catch (InterruptedException e) { } } public static void main(String args[]) throws InterruptedException { DeadLock d = new DeadLock(); d.m1(); } public void m1() { this.start(); a.d1(b); } } package com.java4us; public class A { public synchronized void d1(B b) { System.out.println("Thread 1 start execution of d1() method"); try { Thread.sleep(1000); } catch (InterruptedException e) { } System.out.println("Thread 1 trying to call B's last() method"); b.last(); } public synchronized void last() { System.out.println("Inside A class: last method"); } } package com.java4us; public class B { public synchronized void d2(A a) throws InterruptedException { System.out.println("Thread 2 start execution of d2() method"); try { Thread.sleep(1000); } catch (InterruptedException e) { } System.out.println("Thread 2 trying to call A's Last() method"); a.last(); } public synchronized void last() { System.out.println("Inside B, this is Last() method"); } }
- In the above program if we remove at-least one synchronized keyword then the program won't enter into DeadLock. Hence Synchronized keyword is the only reason for DeadLock situation. Due to this while using Synchronized keyword we have to take special care.Â
DeadLock vs Starvation
- Long waiting of a thread where waiting never ends is called DeadLock.
- Whereas long waiting for a thread where waiting ends yet the certain point is called starvation for ex. Low priority thread has to wait until completing all high priority threads. It may be long waiting but ends yet certain point, which is nothing but starvation

Penelope Cruz Talks Breastfeeding with ALLURE
Penelope Cruz gets up-close and personal with ALLURE.
In this issue, the actress speaks on her addiction to breastfeeding and her loving friendship with fellow actress, Salma Hayek.
On Salma Hayek:
"She's one of my best friends. We call each other heuvos [eggs]. It was because when were working together, we didn't have children yet, so we used to sleep much more than now. So it was a way to call each other lazy. We slept in the same bed so many times and it was like she was always trying to wake me up and call me huevos."
On her breast-feeding plan:
"I'm supposed to get extra calories because breast-feeding you burn, like, an extra 500 a day. I was breast-feeding my son 13 months, and I plan to do the same with my daughter. [Nursing] is addictive. It's hard when the day comes when you have to stop."
On her childhood:
"I always knew I wanted a family because of the way I grew up. Family has always been the most important thing. In my house every Sunday, everyone was cleaning the house. There was always music, and everyone was dancing, sometimes naked, around the house. Not hippie, but very free."
On her lingerie line:
"I did the whole [model] casting myself. Some of the girls are 20. Some of the girls are 50. I made sure that we had a couple of plus-size models. It's like celebration of all types of beauty."
Penelope Cruz Covers Vogue US
Actress Penelope Cruz sports a clean look on the June 2011 issue of Vogue magazine [US Edition]. Why did I say a "clean" look? Well, if you look closely, you can see her freckles which would normally be edited out or covered with make-up. It's good to see Vogue show its readers Cruz in her true form. Check out some snippets from the interview below.
On motherhood: "From the first second, you feel so much love. It is a revolutionary experience. That's the best way I can describe it. It transforms you completely, in a second. Nature is very wise and gives you nine months to prepare, but in that moment—when you see that face, you are transformed forever."
On discovering she was pregnant whilst filming 'Pirates of the Caribbean': "I was pregnant and a pirate. It was a beautiful experience."
On balancing motherhood and working: "Of course I will work, because we all need to work. But it's very important to have time with my family."

So it seems that Flight of the Conchords is done. It only survived for two short seasons. That's just not right, people. What a quirky, funny, smart, low-budge show. At least Jemaine Clement is up for an Emmy. Although he's up against Steve Carell and Steve totally has to win. He's really overdue. Anyway, it's a crisis that Flight has been grounded. As my way of keeping the show alive, I'd like to share this hilarious clip from season two. If you've never seen the show and are considering getting your Flight on, this gives you a good idea about what kind of humor you're in for. The awesome kind, is what. Yeah!

I'm off to read soon. Seems the cold I've had for a while now (thanks to school starting and weather changing) is getting worse, not better. Well, at the least, it is lingering. I have no doubt that recent stresses and losses and tough choices have played a part in it; I just wonder if it will clear up now. Sigh.
Sick and tired – of being sick, and tired.
On the bright side, this weekend I will be spending time with two wonderful "girl" friends – and relaxing and enjoying wine in the sun! That should fix me right up! That's right, there is a wine festival and town and the girls are having girls' day/night out! Yay!

Toying with CEO Compensation
Bloomberg made an interactive inventory of US companies that shows CEO pay ratios. The absolute outlier is Mattel Inc. which paid its Chief Executive Officer Margo Georgiad $31.3 million in 2017, resulting in a pay ratio of 4,987-to-1. The ratio drops to 1,527-to-1 when excluding the on-off compensation Georgiad received when signing her contract. Also, Mattel's median employee pay is only $6,271 because most of its workers work in low cost countries. (source)
The Pay Gap
Last Tuesday was 'Equal Pay Day': it marks the number of extra days into 2018 that an average woman (in the US) has to work to earn as much as her male counterpart did in 2017. (In a way, it resembles Earth Overshoot Day.) The internet is flooded by visuals showing the pay gap. The visual above shows how white American women are paid just 80 cents for every dollar earned by men. But African America and Latinas earn even less. It also shows Asian men make slightly more than the average American men. (source)
Gender Pay Gap (UK)
Today is the deadline for companies active in the UK, and who have 250 or more employees, to submit their data on gender pay gap information. As of last week, only half of UK companies required to, had done so. Facebook did publish its figures last Thursday. The average bonuses for female Facebook employees were almost 40% lower than those of their male colleagues, who (slightly) more often get a bonus. Furthermore, Facebook reports a 0.84 percent difference between the genders, which means than women earned 99 pence ($1.39) for every £1 ($1.41) that men received. The graph above, made by the Financial Times, is based on all submitted data as of 2 March. (source)

One of the best qualities in a leader? The ability to spot and groom other leaders in your organization.
And while everybody likes to feel indispensable, it's smart business to be looking for successors – or at least someone else capable of taking the reins.
So what exactly sets apart the leaders from the followers?
And more importantly, what makes for the most effective long-term leaders?
Here's what to look for.
Above all, the best leaders are capable of one thing: viewing
the big picture.
That manifests itself in several ways:
- They put the business first. You approach Tim about taking on a big project. It would be a real feather in his cap, but he declines, saying that Marnie would be a better person for the job.
- They seek lots of info to make decisions. The best leaders don't operate in a vacuum. So maybe before making a decision on a credit policy change, Sara consults not only other A/R staffers, but Sales and Customer Service. A good sign. The best leaders trust their intuition, too.
- They don't accept the status quo. You want a little bit of rebel in your leaders. Someone who questions the way things have always been done is the person who's likely to make changes for the better.

f Temporal Pattern of Mutations in the Knockdown Resistance (kdr) Gene of Aedes aegypti Mosquitoes Sampled from Southern Taiwan
Aedes mosquitoes are the principal dengue vector in Taiwan, where the use of insecticides is a key element in the national control strategy. However, control efforts are constrained by the development of resistance to most insecticides, including pyrethroids. In this study, mutations in the voltage-gated sodium channel (VGSC) gene resulting in knockdown resistance (kdr) were examined in Aedes aegypti. Fragments of the VGSC gene were polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-amplified followed by restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis in samples from various settings in Southern Taiwan covering dry and wet seasons from 2013 to 2015. Three kdr mutations were identified: V1023G, D1794Y, and F1534C, with observed frequencies of 0.36, 0.55, and 0.33, respectively, in the dry season of 2013–2014. Exploring for temporal changes, the most important observation was the 1534C allele frequency increment in the following season to 0.60 (P < 0.05). This study suggests that continued insecticide pressure is driving the mutational changes, although the selection is ambiguous in the mosquito population.

This is ACLC in action around America and the world.
Statement Of Purpose
The American Clergy Leadership Conference (ACLC), founded during May of 2000 in Korea, when 120 clergy gathered to affirm the vision given by God to Rev. Dr. Sun Myung Moon and Dr. Hak Ja Han Moon to unify the Body of Christ. In keeping with its original purpose, ACLC is a coalition of clergy working to strengthen marriages, rebuild families, restore communities, and renew the nation and the world. Headquartered at 4 West 43rd Street in New York City, the coalition intends to uphold the validity of the United States of America as a shining nation of freedom, faith, harmony and prosperity. Clergy of the American Clergy Leadership Conference share the hope of leading all humankind into becoming One Family under God.
Clergy relating to clergy throughout the United States of America and around the global is the mission of the American Clergy Leadership Conference, which is building on the Vision announced by the Mother of Peace – Dr. Hak Ja Han Moon for the chosen of God to unify Christian clergy with her in the work of God for World Peace. ACLC is the coalition for clergy in the nation to bond in the mission of God by relating and functioning in unity and the bond of peace.
Relating to clergy in your area and existing friends in our nation, join ACLC and share worship with fellowship among women and men chosen to introduce to intentions of God to everyone in the world. ACLC is organized to outreach in cooperation with local church pastors, district pastors, and sub-region directors covering every state in the America. Clergy are encourage to meet and follow-up on building meaningful relations through follow-up prayer breakfasts and fellowship among their churches.

BEIRUT, LEBANON (7:20 P.M.) – The Kurdish-led Afrin Liberation Forces launched a new attack against a group of Turkish-backed Free Syrian Army (FSA) fighters in the Afrin region on Saturday.
According to reports, the Afrin Liberation Front attempted to attack the Free Syrian Army's 3rd Legion along the Deir Mushmush axis in Afrin.
However, the Free Syrian Army's 3rd Legion had prior information about the attack, allowing them to prepare their forces to repel any assault by the ALF.
The 3rd Legion said they managed to ambush the would-be attackers from the Afrin Liberation Forces, resulting in the death of several members of the latter.
As a result of the attack, the Afrin Liberation Forces were forced to retreat back into the forest around Deir Mushmush.

Police have found a body amid an investigation into the murder of a missing woman from the West Midlands.
Julia Rawson, 42, has not been seen since she disappeared from her home in Dudley on 12 May.
Specialist officers searching for Ms Rawson say they discovered the body in the Tipton area, north east of Dudley, on Wednesday.
In a statement on Sunday, West Midlands Police said formal identification of the body was underway, and that a post-mortem would be carried out "in due course".
It added: "Julia's family have been kept up to date with the development."
Police initially launched a search operation after Ms Rawson was reported missing, but it later developed into a murder probe leading to the arrests of two men - Nathan Maynard Ellis, 28, and David Leesley, 23.
Both men were charged with Ms Rawson's murder and appeared in court on 27 May.
They have both been remanded in custody.

Oh wow! Governance for nonprofit boards is long overdue! This accessible book (in plain and easy-to-follow English) is an invaluable resource and every NPO board member, trustee and member of a committee should have a copy. Written by one of South Africa's preeminent non-profit law specialists, Ricardo Wyngaard, and edited by the equally esteemed Nicole Copley, Governance for nonprofit boards should be required reading. Building upon the gold standard in governance – King IV – and highlighting the key points from the Independent Code, the book is, quite simply, outstanding.
Jill Ritchie, Director, Papillon Press and Consultancy, email@example.com, www.papillonpress.biz
Please email us at: firstname.lastname@example.com
Every Company Secretary should have one!
"I have just read 'How to induct Board Members for NPO's' by Ricardo Wyngaard. This is a must for every company secretary and CEO of a NPO. In fact the bulk of the advice is as relevant to any organisation. The practical yet solid suggestions in each chapter are worth every cent. The essence of the book is getting it right at the senior leadership level of being responsible stewards, and how critical the induction process is to this process. It is fundamental to the ultimate impact and success of the organisation in engaging with the beneficiaries they are privileged to serve. I trust that this will be the first of many practical books by Ricardo on critical issues around applied governance in the NPO sector." Malcolm R Boyd
Practical reference guide on NPO governance, March 12, 2015"
The book breaks down a highly complex subject matter into easy to understand narrative. The author has written from a highly practical perspective based on field experience. It is a useful tool for ongoing reference on the subject. Highly recommended."
Phindile Tshabangu
"This book is more than an exposition of the law and voluntarism in South Africa. It's the culmination of a purposed life of a profoundly skilled lawyer who have chosen the sector of voluntarism and served it through the law. Ricardo Wyngaard's pioneering contribution to this sector and the application of the legislative framework is deeply embedded in this insightful book. What makes this book significant is that it is written from an applied perspective; the subtext being that this sector remains critical to South Africa's transformative societal agenda and as a whole provide pointers for those with an interest in its structural and organisational rebirth."
Graeme de Bruyn, Allan Gray Orbis Foundation, Former Executive Manager
"This very interesting and legally well researched book by Ricardo Wyngaard will be a useful resource for NPOs in South Africa. Since volunteers also have legal rights I wish to highly recommend this book to assist NPOs in managing their volunteers. It can save NPOs lots of money and time knowing how to engage with volunteers in the right way. I have already recommended this book to all my clients as a matter of urgency! Thanks Ricardo for putting together this much needed resource!!"
Frank Julie, Frank Julie and Associates
"The guide provides easy to follow and easy to read reference guide. This applies to both individuals and organisations. In a simplistic manner the guide takes the readers through some of the necessary legislations that are of importance in the NPO sector. The section that provides sample volunteer policy and five schedule namely; sample volunteer agreement, volunteer indemnity form, volunteer information form, emergency contact form and volunteer check list is very useful especially for SME sector that usually lack the financial resource to employ the services of professional to prepare these documents. Organisations can, with permission, be able to adapt the documents for their use and accordingly be able to comply with basic legislative requirements of administrative needs in the sector."

"Yup! It's official! I have no life!" This is a quote made on Facebook by my gorgeous, fifteen year old granddaughter. Underneath her status update were comments from another couple of gorgeous, talented granddaughters who indicated that they too relate to the "no-life-status." One of them even stated that she is "president of that club." What is up with that? What is it exactly that constitutes a life? I need to know, to see if I have one!
Is it a full calendar? A dozen calls or texts each day? Filler-people who need or want me? Or is it being in the moment, humming along with my music, marveling at nature and being present enough in the day to notice what and who is around me? I think it's the latter. I have had, and sometimes still have, the former. Yet there are days when I too, think I have no life.
This feeling usually comes over me after a flurry of activity. When I have just waved goodbye to my family or friends. Any of them. Sometimes it is the whole big noisy, hungry crowd, who from time to time inhabit our home for meals, holidays or pampering. The truth is that I live for those times. Every house we have ever owned has been purchased with my mental picture of nineteen to twenty-five of my nearest and dearest seated elbow to elbow around the dining table or crammed into the cushions of the various sofas and chairs. I've been accused of having a living room that looks like a chair museum or a furniture showroom, because I want to own exactly enough comfortable chairs and beds to accommodate everyone I love if they all happened to drop in at the same time. Does that make a life? I'm not sure.
When the door closes behind the people I love and all that remains are dirty dishes, dust balls, Tom, the dog and me, I question my purpose in life. I can sink within minutes to the depths of despair and a true belief that I am a loser. A lazy, purposeless slacker who has no business being on the planet. I become convinced that I have no friends and I have wasted my life! In these moments (of self-pity,) I've been known to consider adopting children from Ethiopia or the Ukraine or to actually go out and buy a puppy. I mean puppies. Plural. Maybe I believe that chaos makes a life.
My daughter Shelley once said to me, "Mother, you've had your day!" She's right, I have. I've had several in fact, where I was a woman on a mission with things to do and places to go and people who were counting on me. I've been the temporary center of my universe, dance card all filled up and pretty dresses to wear to any occasion. I was needed and wanted and busy. Does she really mean, "Mother you've had your LIFE ? It's over now?"
My grand children are just approaching "their day." Two are in High School, three are in college and seven are in elementary school. They each have a blank canvas on which to paint their lives. Sometimes a blank canvas or a blank page can be an intimidating thing to encounter. What if we make a mistake, or a mess, or worse still, a masterpiece?
As far as we know, we only get one life at a time to play with, and create. (Although, truthfully, I've had more than one.) It is better when I'm paying attention! This is where being young can trip you up. Not knowing how short and how fragile life can be. Not realizing the opposite is also true; as life offers up enormous gifts, opportunities and strengths. It all counts, even the bad days. There are no rehearsals and no re-takes in having a life. That does not mean anything about doing or being perfect. I don't think it means having or not having a social life either. It means, at least to me that it's important to be present. To feel it, to taste, to smell to notice every sensation that life has to offer at any time. Even what it feels like to be lonely and have "no life!" Then there is the being grateful part. It's harder when things are not as I wish they were, but saying thank you is good, even for that.
I remember being a teenager and waiting for life to start. The good news and the bad news is that it already had. The choices I made so early, directed the course of my life and brought me right here, right now. Maybe if I had known some of the paths I would take I would have made different choices but ultimately I believe I am becoming the person I was meant to be. Every experience, every heartbreaking disappointment, every triumph, every kindness shown in even a small way, every moment of gratitude, is a part of the makings of a life. My life! None of it is wasted. I believe that!
So to my beautiful granddaughters I pass along this little secret; take notes, take pictures, look around and say "thank-you," admire your beauty, your flat tummys and the beauty of what surrounds you. Commit it all to the memory of your heart. These are the "good old days" you will tell your children about later and maybe share with someone else who one day thinks she has no life when really it is just the beginning. We still have yet to see the end of the story. I'm betting it is a good one.
My life is so glamorous! It's just not fair, lucky for me!!

Urban impact of Abu Dhabi Grand Prix on UAE hotels
Abu Dhabi is one of the only host cities on the Formula One Grand Prix circuit to see a visible spike in hospitality statistics
As the UAE gears up for the 8th Abu Dhabi Grand Prix – the last race of the 2017 F1 calendar, Core Savills has released a new study which throws the spotlight on "Urban impact of Abu Dhabi Grand Prix". The study analyses the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix's effects on the domestic hospitality sector and sheds light on the long-term implications of such events for real estate in the city.
Along with the Grand Prix, Abu Dhabi's growing tourism offerings are expected to sustain demand throughout the year, evidenced by the recent opening of the Louvre Abu Dhabi.
The spotlight states "Global events such as the Grand Prix add to a multitude of underlying factors which work in tandem to enhance the appeal of a city. As a focal point of international attention each year during the four-day event, cities on the F1 calendar enjoy increased exposure for their cultural attractions that contributes to their tourism longevity throughout the year."
David Godchaux, CEO Core Savills points out "Abu Dhabi is one of the only major cities where the Grand Prix has a significant effect on its tourism statistics. Grand Prix month – November – marks a distinct spike in occupancies and revenues."
"As Abu Dhabi's tourism offerings further diversify we expect to see hospitality rates across the city even out. Given that Abu Dhabi presently holds one of the most competitive yearly ADRs but the 2nd highest rates during the Grand Prix, hotel prices are likely to flatten over the long-term." David Godchaux adds.
The spotlight further details "When compared to other host cities, Abu Dhabi's Grand Prix poses an interesting paradox in the context of the surrounding real estate. Typically, the Grand Prix is held in the outskirts of host cities – which is understandable given the need to accommodate the construction and logistics of a large event venue. Barcelona, Kuala Lumpur and Sao Paulo, for example, all hold the Grand Prix at a notable distance from the city centre in non-prime areas. A few cities, such as Monaco and Singapore, do not follow this pattern and choose to hold the event in the city centre, relatively close to prime real estate. Abu Dhabi's Grand Prix, however, represents a unique exception to both patterns. Although Yas Island – the central location of Abu Dhabi's Grand Prix – is some distance from the city centre, it is a comparatively prime area that boasts world-class infrastructure and entertainment venues."
