As you consider different selections, it's important to understand how these types of insurance differ from another. Among permanent life insurance, two widely-purchased options are whole life insurance and indexed universal life insurance.
While term life insurance is the most straightforward, it covers you only for a short-term period. Conversely, whole life and indexed universal life policies give lifelong coverage, so long as a policy remains active.
But they are more complex, tend to cost more than term coverage, and can be better-suited for long-term objectives. With that said, the cash value component of permanent insurance may be attractive for a number of reasons, including for efficient legacy planning, tax-advantaged wealth building, and tax-deferred retirement saving.
If you're exploring term life insurance versus whole life insurance and indexed universal life insurance, it's prudent to be diligent. You will want to research and consider your options carefully, and to help you get started, here's a quick guide on the differences between these life insurance types.
When it comes to life insurance, people often focus on two things: length of coverage and price. Chances are you have heard of trendy sayings like "term over perm" or "buy term and invest the difference." But the question of what life insurance someone needs isn't an "either-or" situation. Nor is term insurance the "best" option by default.
Sure, term coverage may be purchased at the lowest initial cost. But when you need to renew your policy, term rates often increase substantially. You may also find that you actually need more than one type of life insurance policy.
So, any life insurance purchasing decision should include a vigorous fact-finding and analysis of your personal and household financial needs. In fact, some other variables to consider are:
- Your risk tolerance
- Your age
- How your number of dependents might change
- Your health status
- Your time horizon before retirement
- Whether your needs extend beyond just protection
Term Life Insurance
Compared to whole life and indexed universal life, term insurance provides the simplest coverage. The policy owner holds the guarantee of a death benefit for a certain period. That can last anywhere from 10-30 years, with most term policies lasting for 20 years.
When a term policy expires, that's it. Your loved ones won't receive any payouts since the policy has ended. You may be able to renew your term policy, but your new rates will be based on your current age and the actuarial risks that come with it (for example, heightened health risks, shorter life expectancy, so on).
The benefits of term life insurance are:
- Premiums stay fixed
- Simplest form of life insurance coverage you can purchase
- Available at lower cost than whole life and IUL, at least initially
- Provides a straightforward, guaranteed death benefit for a preset duration
- May come with ability to convert to a permanent policy
- Some policies include riders for healthcare and long-term care costs
- Flexible, short-term protection when people need it
- Policy may lapse if premium payments are late or missed
- No death benefit provided upon expiration
- Renewal rates can be far more costly than your initial rates
- No cash value included in the policy
- For some people, no "return benefit" for potentially decades of premium payments can be hard to stomach
- Creating protection for households in high-need years, such as when they first have children
- Providing immediate financial resources if a primary income earner dies unexpectedly
- Covering the economic value of a homemaker should they pass away
- Giving coverage for debts or expenses, like a mortgage, if an income earner deceases
Whole Life Insurance
Whole life insurance has been around for decades. It is the most basic form of cash value life insurance. A whole life insurance policy comes with predictable premiums that don't rise with age. It also confers guaranteed benefits.
Whole life insurance comes with a cash value, which can be accessed in later years. When comparing whole life – and other cash value insurance for that matter – to term life, it's similar to buying versus renting a home. Sure, renting will be less expensive in the short run. But over the long term, it may prove to be the most costly. In contrast, buying a home enables someone to build up home equity over time – not to mention it may be potentially lower cost over time.
Whole life is like owning a home that has a corresponding equity component. Over time, this equity component, or the cash value grows tax-deferred, and your premiums don't increase. With that said, whole life insurance does come with more costs to cover, including management fees.
The benefits of whole life insurance are:
- Premiums stay fixed, don't rise with age
- Comes with guaranteed benefits
- Simplest form of cash value life insurance
- Ability to pay up policy face value in 10-20 years, or at age 65
- Can access cash value via loans or withdrawals later on
- No age 59.5 withdrawal rules, so long as the policy doesn't become a Modified Endowment Contract
- Cash value grows on tax-deferred basis and money can be taken out on a potentially tax-free basis
- Insurance company may pay dividends to policy owner
- Often the interest rate is not guaranteed
- Comes with more costs to pay than term insurance
- Premium payments aren't flexible
- Premiums must be paid consistently or policy will lapse
- Likely to earn lower interest
- Policy lapse may trigger taxable event
- Most whole life policies don't build cash value early on
Indexed Universal Life Insurance
Index universal life insurance, or "IUL," can enjoy stronger opportunities for cash value growth than whole life insurance. Its interest-earning potential is tied to an index, like the S&P 500 price index. Unlike whole life insurance, IUL does offer flexibility in premium payments, with certain conditions. The cash inside an IUL policy grows tax-deferred, just like with whole life, and the cash value can be tapped for premium payments.
While the growth potential may be more substantial, indexed universal life insurance is a newer innovation in the insurance marketplace. Your premiums may increase over time, as the cost of insurance may rise. Insurance carriers may hold derivatives as underlying investments in IUL policies, which can make these policies even more complex.
While IUL does let you enjoy growth potential tied to an index, it comes with limits. IUL insurance carriers "cap" the growth potential at certain predetermined rates, and likewise they may protect against negative index changes with a "floor." While many IUL policies have a floor of 0%, or your cash value doesn't drop in value when the index goes down, this applies to when the insurance carrier credits interest to your policy. In fact, your policy may lose value due to policy costs you have to pay, should you earn no or low interest at a given point.
If a policy owner relied on high interest-earning years to fund the cash value, it could lead to a policy lapse in later years, should the policy get low interest in later times. Likewise, taking policy loans and paying loan interest can be risky if earned interest doesn't surpass the costs of the loan.
Some of the benefits of indexed universal life insurance are:
- Guaranteed benefits, though fewer than whole life insurance
- Ability to obtain a bigger death benefit than with whole life
- Flexible payments for premiums possible
- Potential to receive more interest than whole life insurance
- Cash value can be accessed via loans or withdrawals
- No age 59.5 withdrawal rules
- Tax-deferred retirement money growth potential
- Ideal vehicle for supplementing income or maximizing an estate for beneficiaries
- Premiums may increase over time
- Opportunity to earn interest depends on index performance
- Interest-earning potential "capped" by insurers
- Policy may lose value when costs outpace low interest
While indexed universal life insurance may be a solid retirement planning vehicle, it is more complex than other cash value life insurance. Working with a qualified financial professional to properly structure a policy, according to your needs and goals, is a prudent strategy.
Final Thoughts
While this overview showcases some of the critical differences of IUL, whole life, and term life insurance, it's by no means exhaustive. If you are considering life insurance as part of your financial strategy, especially permanent insurance, be prudent.
Conduct a careful due diligence and consider guidance from a financial professional who acts in your best interest. And when planned and implemented properly, a life insurance policy can go a long ways to bringing you more financial security and peace of mind.

The Israeli High Court of Justice ruled that Palestinian residents of Jerusalem cannot be permanently stripped of their residency rights after having lived elsewhere.
Al-Quds, the leading Palestinian daily, used bright red ink to highlight its March 17 headline. The Palestinian newspaper of record, published in East Jerusalem since 1951, did so to celebrate the March 16 decision by the Israeli High Court of Justice recognizing the "special" status of East Jerusalem Palestinians. "Jerusalemites 'citizens by birth,' not immigrants," blared the headline.
The article that followed included extensive quotes from the court's unanimous decision requiring the reissuing of permanent residency to Akram Abdel Haqq, a 59-year-old Palestinian from Jerusalem who had left for the US decades prior. Upon returning to his hometown, he was told that he would have the same status as a tourist; that is, he no longer had residency rights.
Abdel Haqq had been 9 years old when Israel captured and occupied East Jerusalem, in 1967. Three years later, in 1970, his family emigrated to the US. Abdel Haqq returned to Jerusalem in 1989 to discover his residency rights revoked.
Adi Lustigman, the Israeli lawyer who defended Abdel Haqq, told Al-Monitor that the case will guide Israeli Interior Ministry officials for years. "It is a precedent that Palestinians who have had their residency revoked or are worried about losing their residency should be very pleased with," she said.
Lustigman noted, however, that Palestinians wishing to regain their residency will need to resettle in Jerusalem before applying to regain their rights. "But they will not have to live there for a long time," she said.

Lustigman added that the decision should provide more security to many Palestinians from Jerusalem now living elsewhere on the West Bank. She said, "Israeli Interior officials can no longer easily revoke the residency rights of East Jerusalemites, and this for sure includes Palestinians who are living in the West Bank." Between 1967 and 2014, Israel revoked the residency permits of more than 14,000 Palestinians from East Jerusalem for not continually living in the city or for living elsewhere for more than seven years, regardless of the reason.
Sani Khoury, a Palestinian lawyer specializing in Jerusalem citizenship issues, told Al-Monitor that the decision is a step forward, but also warned against prematurely celebrating. "We have to wait and see whether this will be followed up by any changes in guidelines or dealings with the problems facing Jerusalemites," he said.
Khoury shared that he was worried about a note the chief justice of the Supreme Court attached to the ruling. He wrote, "Miriam Naor, the Supreme Court president noted that in the future, similar petitions will be treated on a case-by-case basis, which means that this is not necessarily a major precedent." Khoury did, however, concede that the ruling is a much stronger commitment than the one made by former Interior Minister Natan Sharansky.
In March 2000, Sharansky submitted an affidavit to the High Court about Israeli policy on residency for Palestinians. The Israeli human rights organization B'tselem reported the gist of it as, "All East Jerusalem Palestinians who return to extend their permits on time and maintain a 'proper affiliation' with the State of Israel would retain their status as permanent residents, even those living in Jordan or in other countries."
One possible reason for Khoury's cautioning against celebrating could be his knowledge about newly appointed members of the Israeli Supreme Court. Israel's right-wing justice minister, Ayelet Shaked, announced the appointment of four new justices Feb. 23. One was David Mintz, a Jerusalem District Court judge who lives in an Etzion bloc settlement, south of Bethlehem. The Israeli journalist Amira Hass pointed out in a March 20 column for Haaretz that the ruling in Abdel Haqq's case reversed a ruling by none other than Mintz, the settler just sworn in as a Supreme Court justice.
Daniel Seidemann, an Israeli lawyer specializing in issues related to Jerusalem and its residents, told Al-Monitor that the residency issue for Palestinians in East Jerusalem has been left vague by a collective Israeli decision-making process. "In 1967, Israel neither offered nor imposed its citizenship on Palestinian East Jerusalemites," Seidemann explained. "Instead, they were deemed permanent residents under the Entry into Israel Law, as if they were alien residents newly arrived rather than an indigenous population with roots thousands of years old."
The Israeli lawyer called the high court's ruling courageous, but of limited impact. "It acknowledges for the first time the absurdity of viewing the Palestinians as 'newcomers,' and the devastating impact such a view has," Seidemann remarked. "It makes the thread by which the residency rights of Palestinians hang somewhat thicker. It will help an indeterminate number of vulnerable individuals. It will make occupation more bearable at times, but it in no way makes Israel less of an occupier."
While the Palestinians of East Jerusalem have no political rights, they are not without other rights, including rights to property, residency, health care, and so on. Seidemann argued, "These are not the inalienable rights of the citizen, but the 'alienable' rights extended by the 'magnanimity' of an occupier. These rights always hang by a thread."
The Israeli High Court decision providing some relief to Palestinians in East Jerusalem deals with a reality that is too little acknowledged in the rest of the world, namely, that East Jerusalem is an occupied city. As such, Palestinians can never be considered immigrants in their own city. Palestinians did not immigrate to Israel. Rather, Israel, with its military occupation, came to the Palestinians in Jerusalem.
While the final status of Jerusalem must be resolved in negotiations, after 50 years of occupation, it is important that basic rights, such as the Palestinians' right to live in the city of their birth and of their ancestors, not be considered a gift from a "benevolent" occupier but an inalienable right that cannot and should not be taken away.

Calabasas CA
Design Group: Style House
The design directive for this gorgeous Calabasas Residence was vibrant, colorful, high-gloss, and above all, personal to the family. Our residential art consultants worked closely with the interior and exterior architect as well as an interior designer to source and propose art to the homeowner. Kevin Barry Fine art submitted concepts from our Santa Monica gallery space that would showcase the clients' personality, as well as work that would compliment the look of the home. Work by artists James Verbicky, Ann Thornycroft, Sarah Stockstill and Matt Devine were selected by the homeowner, as well additional art from many mediums. Sculptures, pulled canvas, traditional framed art, and poured resin over wood were all included in the final design.
For this project, KBFA's team were on site throughout the entire process: from initial meetings to tour the home while under construction to artist communication and commissions, and finally delivery and install. By being part of the process from the beginning, our art consultants were able to ensure scale, placement and palettes would be a perfect fit for the family's home.
From world-class commissioned art to a sweet baby animal gallery wall for a nursery, this Calabasas residence got the A-list treatment from our team at KBFA as we strove to bring their dream home to life.

Going for a Run? Don't Forget the Warmup and Cooldown
Warming up and cooling down are both essential to a good workout. And they help to ensure that your body is ready for future workouts.
Always Warm Up Before You Exercise
A warmup doesn't necessarily mean stretching. It means a lower intensity version of the physical activity you are about to do. The greater your intensity of workout, the longer the warmup should be. A good indication is a light sweat.
- Help get your blood circulating and lubricate your joints
- Increase delivery of oxygen and nutrients to your muscles, which prevents you from getting out of breath early or too easily
- Prepare your heart for activity, helping you to avoid a rapid increase in blood pressure
Always Cool Down After You Exercise
A proper cooldown helps your heart rate gradually return to normal and lengthens the muscles to prevent injury. The first part of a good cooldown is gradually slowing your intensity for several minutes. The second part is stretching. Try holding stretches for at least 20 seconds.
- Help your heart rate and breathing return to normal at a gradual pace
- Help avoid fainting or dizziness, which can result from blood pooling in the large muscles of the legs when vigorous activity is stopped suddenly
- Reduce the immediate post-exercise tendency for muscle spasm, cramping and stiffness
Foam Rolling
A great way to get the legs primed for a run is a short foam rolling session. It'll prepare you for the road, and it's also a great way to recover after you put in the miles.
IT Band Roll: Lie sideways with the foam roller positioned under the side of your thigh. Take your top leg in front to the floor for balance. Roll between your knee and your hip bone. Spend extra time on any spot that feels tender. Repeat on both sides.
Hamstring/Quad Roll: For a hamstring roll, start with a seated position with both of your hamstrings on the roller at the same time and hold your body weight up with your hands behind you. Roll back and forth from your glutes to the back of your knees. To increase the pressure, lift one leg off the roller. For a quad roll, start lying face down with both of your thighs on the roller at the same time and hold your body weight up in a forearm plank. Roll back and forth from your hips to your knees. To increase the pressure, lift one thigh off the roller.
Calf Roll: Start similarly to the hamstring roll with both hands behind you. Cross your legs at the ankles (or roll one leg at a time) and slowly roll from the bottom of your lower leg (around the Achilles up to just below the knee). Rotate the contact point slightly to ensure that you're reaching the entire calf. Switch your leg position (by crossing your legs the opposite way) to roll the other calf.

Starting a Medical Marijuana Business
First Black Woman to Own a Marijuana Dispensary in Colorado
Have you ever given a thought of starting your own medical marijuana business?
Like many other entrepreneurs, Wanda James tried it all. She was a military officer, restaurant entrepreneur, and member of President Obama's national finance committee, but the most rewarding success was being the first black woman to own a marijuana dispensary in Colorado. In 2009 Wanda and her team opened up their very own marijuana store in Colorado, making them the first African Americans licensed in Colorado. Her shop is called Simply Pure. They are considered the first Black edible makers in Colorado too. Regardless of her extensive background of professional jobs, Wanda believes that the product is not as bad as the law makes it seem.
Her believes are that of black or brown people should not get penalized for consuming marijuana while the white men make all the money through the marijuana business. She firmly believes that she can make a change when people look at the product.
She believes that individuals should be aware of the product, and its benefits. She strongly suggests that the product should not penalize society nor should there be criminal charges due to a marijuana joint. The stigma of marijuana being a "drug" is inevitable with people that are convinced it is a drug. But, starting with one dispensary will encourage others to do business in the cannabis industry.
Starting your own business that will stand out is key. Just like Wanda your medical marijuana business needs to stand out from the rest. She has had a successful business since, and continues to grow every day.
How to grab attention? 420 Biz Connect is able to help you get your cannabis business. Learn several ways to get your business to succeed in a fun and exciting market. Call us today to help you get your business started.

Unit 1 – P1
Explain how internal and external factors affect the UK inbound and domestic tourism.Trends and factors
In this assignment I will be reviewing the trends and factors that are currently affecting the travel and tourism sector in either a positive or negative manner. Trends are something that becomes popular within mainstream society over a long period of time. Factors are something that influences and contributes to a result. There are many trends which are currently affecting the tourism industry however I will only talk about three which I feel is having a massive impact, these are: increased frequency of holidays, holiday home ownership and growth and expansion of regional airports. Just like trends, there are many factors also affecting the industry, I will also talk about three: Natural disasters, Terrorism and health warnings.
Increased frequency of holidays
There is an increased frequency of holidays because there are cheaper flights and accommodation providers and there is more competition between the operators which also results in reduced holiday prices
The final trend is Growth and expansion of regional airports. The CAA did a survey and 95 million tourists went on a holiday from a regional airport. People may not want to fly out from a major airport such as London Heathrow, London Gatwick, London Stansted and London city; this is because they may be far away from where they holiday makers live or are more scared about a higher chance of terrorism in a major airport. There are many regional airports in the London surrounding area and are easier accessible, the flights may also be cheaper when flying out of a regional airport because the airline company does not have to pay as much to have spaces on the runaways allowing the customers to get on the plane. People are more likely to fly out of a regional airport if they are going for a domestic trip as it may work out cheaper and more time beneficial.

I was so thankful for my Thanksgiving break! Now, at the close of my blissful break, I reflect and am still filled with thankfulness.
I am thankful that I have a family that is so loving, supportive, and fun to be with! I am thankful for the huge spread of Thanksgiving goodies that we stuffed ourselves with on Thanksgiving day! I am thankful for 5 days filled with nothing but family and friends and fun... all play and no work. I am thankful that I returned home rested and restored. I have so much to be thankful for and I have been so blessed! Thank you Lord for the blessings you have showered my life with and thank you for your continued blessings... I do not deserve.
I did it all over the break. Wal-mart runs, dinners in and dinners out, Wii playing, movie watching, golfing, napping, football viewing, fun! Every moment was filled, but every moment was relaxing and fulfilling! It was a wonderful break!
I didn't take too many pictures... I was enjoying life in the moment and not through my lens. I did manage to snag this family photo on Thanksgiving Day...
My sister and her husband were unable to attend, so this is only Mom, Dad, Me, Ken, Sarah M, and Bentlee.
And of course I snapped a few shots of my favorite (albeit, only) niece! Isn't she BEAUTIFUL?!?

I feel like I have hit the jackpot! My own personal jackpot!
Allow me to explain. Many of you already know that I am an excellent house keeper... very organized, everything in it's place, you get the idea. I am not, however, a great house-cleaner! I despise mopping, scrubbing tubs, and cleaning toilets! Dusting and vacuuming aren't my favorite either. In short, I keep everything neat and tidy, but when it comes to keeping things clean I struggle... and I mean struggle!
So, here's the story. I was getting my hair cut the other day. I love my stylist... she is great at cutting, great at coloring, and great a waxing... what more could you want? She also cleans houses. I don't feel like it's a wise use of my funds at this point in life to have my home cleaned when I am perfectly capable of doing it myself, but it was very tempting. When I go get my hair cut, Gerri and I always talk shop because she home schools her daughter. This time we were talking about teaching and school and home school and she mentioned that she was thinking of getting a tutor for her daughter! She said (get this) she was getting everything covered except for social studies! (That's right - my subject!) I asked if she would be interested in trading services and wham, bam, (a little talking and working out details), thank-you-ma'am, I now am having my house cleaned... and tutoring a 6th grader in social studies!
Today was the first cleaning. Honestly, not kidding, couldn't be more serious... my house is cleaner than it was the day I moved in! It's AMAZING! I have no idea how she did it... it's phenomenal.
Now, onto the rest of my weekend.....
Saturday was spent, for the most part, recovering from Bunko/Poker night... not that I needed to recover (don't read too much into that)... just that I was up late and so I slept in and had the do-nothing, relaxing day I had been craving!
Sunday I headed to Chris' for a grill and chill and to watch the Titan's game! It was great!
I would have LOVED to have gone to the game, but couldn't get tickets... which turned out because the Titan's lost. So, Chris' was the perfect way to spend Sunday afternoon!! We had this yummy grillin' food, football, and lots of laughs! It was such a great time!
Here I am with some of my favorite guys enjoying the football fun! Nothing beats a Sunday that includes football, friends, and a grill... I'm just sayin'!

Oh so good....
I thought I would participate in Lindsay's Tasty Tuesday today! I don't link up because my blog is private, but you can link to hers by clicking the button above and check out all the other Tasty Tuesday recipes!
This is probably my all time favorite soup for cold weather. The recipe is easy, fast, and fool proof and you can keep the ingredients on hand easily! Mmmm!!
Potato Cheese Soup
5 Lbs. potatoes (cut into small bite-size cubes)
3 cans chicken broth
2 cans cream of celery
1 pt half and half (I always just use milk since I don't have half and half on hand)
8 oz. Monterey Jack cheese (cubed or shredded)
8 oz. Pepper Jack (or cheddar, which I use, because I don't like spicy stuff)
Simmer potatoes until fully cooked and fork tender. Drain. Add soups and broth. Simmer 5 min. Add half and half or milk and cheeses and simmer until cheese melts.
That's it folks! SOOOOO fast and easy and tastes SOOOOO good! It's a crowd pleaser! I always top it with cheese and some crumbled bacon! Mmm!

Christmas Spirit...
...strikes early!
Okay, so it's a little early for the Christmas look for the blog, but I couldn't resist! We had actual snow flurries this morning and I've been Christmas shopping... it's in the air people! I am pretty particular about the "rules" of Christmas decorations (up the day after Thanksgiving and down the day after New Years) but this year, I am breaking the rules (at least in blog world) and "decorating" early!

Yummy in my Tummy...
Well, it's no secret that I like to eat! I love food, I enjoy cooking, and delight in eating a wonderful meal! That being the case, I decided I better do something to compensate and I started back at the gym! I gotta be honest and say, it kicked my butt, but I felt SO good about myself and had SO much energy right from visit one! I just hope I can make it a part of my routine and stick with it!
Being that I am working out, I don't feel so bad cooking what I REALLY want to eat! Today was a cold, rainy day and my cabinets were bare, so I headed to the store to stock up. I was really wanting something warm and delicious for dinner and I got it in my head that broccoli and rice would be good.... and chicken... and something cheesy! From that, I landed on a combination of recipes and ended up with a darn good casserole that I can call my own!
1 pat of butter
1/2 onion chopped
1 can cream of celery
1/4 - 1/2 cup chicken stock
1 package frozen broccoli florets (thawed)
1/2 (ish) cup sour cream
2 cups cooked rice
2 cups cooked, cubed chicken
salt to taste
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 cup shredded cheddar
Preheat to 325.
Melt butter and saute onions until tender. Combine all ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Pour into a 9x13 baking dish. Bake for 30 min. until brown and bubbly!
Mmmmm... so good!
And for a not new recipe that I didn't make tonight, but that was on my mind because I was organizing my recipes and because I have some potatoes I need to use...
Fried Potato Patties (Had these at Yatzi's and they were SO good!!!!)
2 cups cooked, mashed potatoes (really handy if you have leftovers!)
1 cup shredded mozzarella
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp pepper
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 cup soft breadcrumbs
1/2 cup vegetable oil
Combine first 7 ingredients; shape into 6, 3/4 inch thick patties. Dip each in egg and coat lightly with bread crumbs. Fry in hot oil in a large skillet over medium heat for 12 min. or until golden brown, turning once. Drain on paper towels.
So... as Paula Dean would say, "Best Dishes!"

The Lake house...
...not the movie, the girls weekend!
This weekend me and 9 other fabulous women from my school (and one who used to be at my school) headed out of town for a weekend at "the lake house" in Alabama! It was SO MUCH FUN! There is nothing like getting out of town to help you unwind and relax!
This was the beautiful view we enjoyed each day! The 10 of us had so much time! A homemade chili dinner Friday night served up with lots of drinks, lots of laughter, and lots of fun!
We had a lot of laughing and a lot of lounging! Here you see Marsha, Beth, and Lisa all on the biggest bean bag I have ever seen in my life! Seriously... the thing was the size of a twin bed!!!!
Here we are around the fire! It's a little fuzzy because it was so dark, but you can still tell that we were having a big time!!!

Sunday was a WONDERFUL day!!!!!
Me, Moo, Web, and Chris loaded up bright and early and headed to see the Titans take on the Greenbay Packers!!!! We met Chris and Web's friend Stephen to tailgate with some friends of his! Let me just say, these people do it up right! Under two large tents they cooked a spread on the spot... bacon, eggs, ham, biscuits, gravy, sausage balls, pancakes... (you get the idea, and this doesn't even TOUCH the amount of food they had)! There was corn hole and a football to toss and drinks, of course! It was THE BEST TIME!!!!
Here's Chris, Web, and Stephen - they are so funny... all three of them crack me up!
Here are Chris and I at the tailgate! It was so bright and sunny - a beautiful day and perfect weather for the game!!

Cookbook Party....
This past Saturday Lauren and I hosted a Junior League Cookbook Party at La's house! It was a lot of fun! Lauren made a delicious baked ham with mustard glaze, broccoli salad, cornbread, and a blueberry cobbler and I made sweet potato casserole and the best squash casserole recipe I have ever had (which I will share at the end of this post)
This is what the table looked like! It was so much fun visiting with friends and eating good food! We even sold a lot of cookbooks (which was the goal) and had a great time doing it!! :-)

Trick or Treat...
I have decided to blog about my weekend in stages instead of covering it all at once and I am starting with Friday... Halloween! Not my favorite holiday, but still cuteness with the little ones dressing up and all!
I live on a very quiet, very short street and so I rarely have any trick-or-treaters... this year was different though! I had two VERY SPECIAL trick-or-treaters ring my doorbell and come in for a visit!
First, Vance came to see me...
He was SOOO cute! He got some candy and a little pack of Teddy Grams! Megan and Web were with him (of course!)...
Is this not the cutest baby costume you have ever seen! He was a sweetest little puppy dog and he even had down in "woof, woof!!!!" TOOOO cute!

In a typical ChIP-Seq experiment, We found a transcription factor "ABC" peaks on 590 genes. 242 genes out of the 590 genes are classified as "ORFs". If the number of "ORFs" contained in the genome is 5420 and the total number of genes in the genome is 6226. are the total "ABC" bound genes enriched in ORFs? Whether "ABC" association at ORFs is by chance? Which statistical test should be used? Can it be done in R and how? is there any other way to do this?
I got to know from one forum that test for enrichment of gene lists is to do a hypergeometric test or, equivalently, a one-sided Fisher's exact test. Though I am not very familiar with R, based on other examples I tried to use R for Fisher's Exact Test for count data and my output is like this.

General Manager Wins Top Award
The General Manager of Akzo Nobel's International Paint business in Shanghai has received a top honor from the city's municipal government.
Jorn Seiero, the General Manager of Akzo Nobel's International Paint business in Shanghai, has been presented with a prestigious honor by the Chinese city's municipal government.
He has received the Magnolia Silver Award in recognition of his outstanding contribution to Shanghai's development.
Believed to be the highest honor ever received by an Akzo Nobel employee in China, the award was established in 1989 to reward Shanghai expatriates who have made important contributions to the city's development or helped to improve its links with other countries.
International Paint Shanghai is the market leader in the marine paint market in China and Seiero has been General Manager of the business since 1997.
He was presented with his award at the end of September, when the ceremony was also attended by Leif Darner, Managing Director of International Coatings Ltd.
The magnolia has a special significance because the early blooming white magnolia is Shanghai's official flower and symbolizes the city's pioneering and enterprising spirit.

Internet safety specialist Security Risk Management Limited (SRM) is today unveiling its bespoke on-line Virtual E-Safety Officer (VE-SO) portal for schools. The portal will provide access to resources and tools which support teaching and learning for internet safety and cyber security. The pioneering technology will make it possible for schools to work together to gather intelligence as well as addressing all E-Safety issues in line with Ofsted recommendations in a responsive, secure and cost-effective way.
The VE-SO portal will provides staff, students and parents with access to unique pages containing information and advice on internet safety, specifically tailored to meet their particular requirements. Questions and concerns can also be sent to avatars within the VE-SO portal, connecting through to a panel of experts based at SRM's office in Newcastle upon Tyne.
Led by the former head of the High Tech Crime Unit at Northumbria Police, the panel also includes teachers and students who combine E-Safety qualifications with practical experience. Concerns can be answered, advice given and incidents reported in whatever way has been pre-agreed with the individual school in line with their E-Safety protocols. In serious cases, the police Child Exploitation and Online Protection (CEOP) Centre can be accessed directly from within the portal. Unlike an in-school E-Safety officer, the VE-SO will also be able to respond to enquiries and concerns from parents who are able to log in from home.
SRM has a long track record in the E-Safety sector, having worked with the MOD, Government organisations and private businesses for over ten years. It is also a recognised E-Safety training provider. Tom Fairfax, Managing Director of SRM says:
"Until now, schools have had to train up members of staff or attempt to find a resident E-Safety officer with the appropriate level of training. Both of these options can present a problem. The VE-SO portal meets the school's Ofsted obligations fully, enabling those responsible to ensure that concerns are answered and incidents appropriately reported. But also, very importantly, the VE-SO portal provides an opportunity to gather intelligence and develop a community intelligence model for the education sector, enabling participating schools to benefit from trend information and forecasts. This is something an in-school E-Safety officer would simply not be able to do."

AMIENS, France (AP)Marseille is now without a win in four league matches after losing 3-1 at Amiens in Ligue 1 on Friday.
After three successive draws, Marseille had hoped to bounce back at Amiens, which had only won one of its previous five matches.
However, Amiens took the lead in the 12th minute when Haitam Aleesami volleyed in Gael Kakuta's cross. Marseille goalkeeper Steve Mandanda though he had scrambled the ball away but it had already crossed the line.
Dario Benedetto leveled for Marseille in the 23rd but Serhou Guirassy restored Amiens' advantage from the penalty spot four minutes from halftime after he had been fouled by Duje Caleta-Car.
Guirassy almost extended Amiens' lead immediately after the break but his effort crashed off the crossbar.
Marseille had several chances to equalize before Amiens sealed the result in stoppage time, when Stiven Mendoza fired home his third goal in as many matches.

Many people think the end of their orthodontic treatment is the end of their time caring for their smile. However, that's extremely far from the truth. If anything, you should take more care of your smile so you can keep it in tip-top shape. You didn't go through the alignment process for nothing, right? So, to help you care for your smile after orthodontic treatment, Dr. Richard Barnett and our orthodontic team have some helpful tips for you.
Tip No. 1: Wear your retainer – Unfortunately, there is still tension in your periodontal ligaments after you remove your braces. This tempts your teeth to move out of place, which is why Dr. Richard Barnett gives you a retainer and encourages you to wear it regularly. So, make sure to follow the instructions and you will be able to keep your smile straight and beautiful.
Tip No. 2: Keep up on oral hygiene – Make sure to brush twice a day and floss and rinse once a day. But, more importantly, schedule a dental cleaning. This is vital because there are nooks and crannies in your smile that were neglected during the alignment process. The appointment will allow your dental team to thoroughly and deeply clean those spaces as well as your entire mouth.
Tip No. 3: Wait to whiten – If you're interested in brightening your smile, it's best to wait at least a month before you do so. Waiting will give the newly exposed enamel the chance to strengthen and become less sensitive.
If you wear your retainer, keep up on oral hygiene, and wait to whiten your smile, you'll be on the right track toward maintaining the straight, beautiful, and pain-free chompers you deserve. For more information on how to care for your smile after you've had braces in Richfield, Utah, please call Barnett Orthodontics at 435-896-4930. We look forward to helping you!

The Hollywood campaign against sexual harassment in the workplace, Time's Up, has received a $1.5m donation thanks to actor Mark Wahlberg.
The donation follows widespread criticism after it was revealed Wahlberg was paid $1.5m to reshoot scenes in 'All The Money in the World', whereas his female co-star, Michelle Williams, received just $80 a day for the extra work.
Launched on 1 January, Time's Up was unveiled to the public via an open letter to the film, TV and performing arts industries in the New York Times. Originally, the campaign had aimed to raise $15m to fund legal support for female and male victims of sexual harassment at work, a target it had now surpassed.
Reshoots on 'All The Money in the Word' were required after Kevin Spacey was removed from the film following allegations of predatory of sexual behaviour. On 13 January, Wahlberg tweeted he had donated the fee, in Williams' name, and that he "100% support(s) the fight for fair pay".
— Mark Wahlberg (@mark_wahlberg) January 13, 2018
In a statement on Saturday, Williams said: "Today isn't about me. My fellow actresses stood by me and stood up for me, my activist friends taught me to use my voice and the most powerful men in charge, they listened and they acted."
The issue of equal pay and closing the 'gender pay gap' is prominent in many industries, including the media, with the publication of BBC salaries last year sparking widespread debate. Days into 2018, the BBC's China editor, Carrie Gracie, resigned from her role claiming she wasn't being paid the same amount as prominent male correspondents.
On the flip side, however, at a former engineer at Google this week launched a lawsuit contending discrimination against white, conservative men.

Apperian, a Boston-based mobile app company, is gaining momentum in the enterprise sector with increased demand from clients such as Cisco and AT&T. This move has supplemented the average deal size of the startup to more than triple during the past year to $235,000.
The swift growth is being accommodated by Brain Day's promotion from CFO (chief financial officer) to president of the company. Day stated that the potential customers' pipeline for the company has grown five times in the past year and the deal size has increased from $66,000 to $235,000 in the past year.
Apperian has recently shifted its attention from SMBs to enterprise customers, leveraging the fact that enterprises are becoming more open to the idea of introducing apps within organizations to be used by staff in the field.
In fact, the adoption of mobile apps in the enterprise sector isn't projected to slow down any time soon. Good Technology's Mobility Index for the fourth quarter of 2013 revealed 53 percent growth in mobile application usage, which outpaced the 43 percent growth rate of the third quarter of 2013.
The survey also informed that custom mobile app development rose 55 percent quarter by quarter. In particular, more enterprises are investing in custom mobile applications, despite the fact that there is a shortage of mobile app developers focusing on the enterprise sector. Apperian sees the opportunity.
Apperian also made a pre-production mobile app testing service available to enterprise developers. It contributes to testing pre-production B2C (business-to-consumer) and B2E (business-to-employee) mobile apps. The new offering takes advantage of Apperian's enterprise mobility platform and is designed to assist enterprises in delivering high quality applications that mobile users want to install and use, while speeding time-to-availability.
Mobile app testing is a phase of the development process that can be difficult to scale. www.tricentis.com states that as mobile devices become a platform of choice for more employees and customers, enterprises will need to test against an ever-increasing range of technologies. They will have to contend with multiple operating systems, including Windows, iOS and Android. At the moment, wearable tech is still in its infancy when it comes to enterprise adoption, which may complicate matters further. So in this fast-moving, evolving landscape, it is more important than ever for enterprise to test their apps for mobile devices.
Apperian's new testing will let any number of contractors or employees be a part of the test process pertaining to user acceptance. One significant advantage of this is the ability to see a clear understanding of how apps are going to perform in the market as they are testing by a group of individuals consisting of employees and customers that actually represent real end-users.
The platform offered by Apperian can be utilized for B2E and B2C apps before a general version is released. The firm's approach to app testing can help increase app store ratings because of faster, pre-production capabilities that deliver apps of better quality. And combined with solutions that help companies to automate mobile testing across various OS systems and devices, companies can define all the test cases while maintaining the technical interface with preferred devices.
The company's initiatives show that it is not targeting small businesses as much as it used to; it's focusing on larger deals at this point.

Those who feel it's perfectly appropriate to pass legislation to make it "unlawful for any person to publish" the blueprints to a 3D-printed handgun-looking thing clearly do not understand the Constitution or the progressive nature of legal or legislative precedent.
Utah Sen. Mike Lee appears to be the only one on Capitol Hill who does. Or he is at least the only one with the courage to say so out loud.
Sen. Lee also appears to be the only one who knows full well that this legislation is not a unique or a one-off event, and that it's not about blueprints.
"When you talk about publishing instructions to do something rather than banning the thing itself, you run into some potential First Amendment problems," the Utah Republican said Wednesday.
And he's correct, as usual. Of course, regarding anything regarding the Constitution, when isn't he?
It's hard to say whether Florida Democratic Sen. Bill Nelson gave any thought to the potential consequence of trying to pass a bill to "make it illegal to intentionally publish a digital file that programs a 3D printer to make a gun," or not.

Lions attempting to repair relationship with Calvin Johnson
In recent comments, former Detroit Lions receiver Calvin Johnson said the the franchise's lack of success played a part in his surprise retirement last year at age 30.
"I didn't see the chance for them to win a Super Bowl at the time, and for the work I was putting in, it wasn't worth my time to keep on beating my head against the wall and not going anywhere," Johnson told reporters in Italy.
Those comments came shortly after an ESPN report saying Johnson was forced to repay $1 million of his remaining protracted signing bonus upon his retirement. As one could surmise, Johnson and the team may not be on the best terms. Team president Rod Wood is trying to change that by extending an invite to Johsnon to attend training camp later this month.
"Hopefully he shows up," Wood told WJR-760 AM in Detroit. "We want him in the tent, not outside the tent."
When Johnson retired in March of last year, he did not hold a news conference and did not talk to anyone in the media until June 2016. He is still the franchise's all-time leader in receptions (731), receiving yards (11,619) and receiving touchdowns (83).
