Since inception, Worthy Brewing has operated with its local community at the forefront. This prioritization manifests in a few different ways, including charitable giving. In addition to hosting 12 charity pint nights each year, Worthy also donates a percentage of sales to Earth-friendly non-profits.
A craft brewery at its core, with a driving mantra, 'Earth First. Beer Second.', Worthy uses its products and pubs to help support and promote non-profits dedicated to conserving and protecting our beautiful Northwest region. As we know, without access to rich soil, clean air, and clean water, we would not be able to grow the hops and barley we need to continue brewing award-winning craft beer!
See the below list of organizations that Worthy Brewing supports. Read about their missions and why Worthy Brewing is a partner.
Alliance for World Scientists (AWS)
The AWS is a new international assembly of scientists, which is independent of both governmental and non-governmental organizations and corporations. The main goal of the AWS is to be a collective international voice of many scientists regarding global climate and environmental trends and how to turn accumulated knowledge into action. Worthy Brewing, with Worthy Garden Club, is co-sponsoring Dr. Bill Ripple in a 2019 Speaker Series that helps to inform and educate on how the far-reaching impacts of wolves are affecting the ecosystem in Yellowstone National Park. Dr. Ripple, in his presentations, will also provide suggestions for sustainability on planet Earth.
For more information, contact: Dr. Bill Ripple.
Central Oregon LandWatch (COLW)
The COLW advocates to protect Central Oregon's forests and high desert, rivers and springs, fish and wildlife, and its communities. COLW does this by supporting and championing efforts that strive to conserve the region's ecosystems and wildlife habitats, to foster thriving, sustainable communities and to spread the costs and benefits of growth equitably across the community as a whole. Some of COLW's achievements include: protecting the Metolius Basin from development; keeping Whychus Creek flowing freely and not through a pipe for hydroelectric power; preserving deer and elk winter range and safeguarding wildlife corridors; and maintaining vistas of ridges from Shevlin Park.
For more information, contact: COLW.
Central Oregon Locavore (COL)
COL is a year-round farmers' marketplace that provides local food from local farmers. COL works for an ecologically stable and socially just food system in Central Oregon by improving access to fresh, nutrient-dense local food, educating the community about the benefits of sustainably produced food, and supporting farmers and ranchers. Worthy Brewing has selected COL for its September Charity Pint Night– perfect timing to celebrate the abundance of fresh produce from Central Oregon farmers and purveyors!
For more information, contact: COL
Coalition for the Deschutes
Coalition for the Deschutes is a non-profit organization dedicated to restoring and protecting the Deschutes River and its watershed. Its mission is to restore the Deschutes River so that fish, farms, and families can all thrive. The Coalition engages the entire community, including families, irrigators, farmers, recreationalists, and businesses to overcome old obstacles and build bridges between historically divergent interests. Worthy Brewing is co-hosting a farm to table dinner with local Mecca Grade Estate Malt on May 3rd, in part to raise awareness and support for the Coalition, and in part to help showcase the difference in quality and flavor complexities that using local ingredients, like Mecca's, makes in beer and in cuisine. Without access to clean water, Worthy and Mecca Grade would not be able to produce delicious beer and nutrient-rich grains.

Commute Options of Central Oregon
Commute Options encourages the wellness of individuals, a clean environment, and a strong economy – and does so by representing transportation options in our community by educating citizens, businesses, and a government about the value of carpooling, vanpooling, walking, bicycling, teleworking, and using public transportation. Commute Options envisions communities where people make thoughtful transportation choices to reduce the impact of driving alone. These decisions result in healthier individuals, safer streets, a cleaner environment, and a stronger economy. Worthy Brewing supports Commute Options' Partner Rewards Program, which provides employees with a $20 gift card for every 45 days a commute option is used.

High Desert Food and Farm Alliance (HDFFA)
HDFFA's mission is to support a healthy and thriving food and farm network in Central Oregon through education, collaboration, and inclusivity. Essential to HDFFA's mission is to support Central Oregon's food system: a collaborative network of farms, ranches, community members and organizations that partner to create a more locally based, self-reliant food economy. Worthy Brewing has selected HDFFA for its August Charity Pint Night, and is partnering with Brasada Ranch on a private label beer that will in part be a vehicle to help raise awareness about the importance of supporting Central Oregon's farmers and purveyors, and to help raise additional dollars to support HDFFA's mission. This private label's soft launch is on May 15th. Additionally, Worthy is a 2019 sponsor for HDFFA's 2019 Food & Farm Directory – an annual directory that informs the Central Oregon community on where to go to support local farmers and purveyors.

Did you know that April 6 is national Plan Your Epitaph Day?
An epitaph is a brief inscription that appears on a grave to memorialize the deceased, usually written by loved ones after the person has died. In many ways your epitaph is the last opportunity to say how you want to be remembered; why let someone else say it for you? Imagine 50 or even 100 years from now, a passerby strolls past your final resting place, what do you want to tell them about yourself?
If you need some inspiration, here are a few unconventional examples:
"I will not be right back after this message."
-Merv Griffin (1925-2007)
Interred at Westwood Memorial Park in Los Angeles, CA.
"Lost life by stab in falling on ink eraser, evading six young women trying to give him birthday kisses in office Metropolitan Life building."
-George Spencer Millet (1894-1909)
Interred at Woodlawn Cemetery in Bronx, NY
"Here lies deposited the body of James Leeson who departed this life on the 28th day of September 1794 aged 38 years."
-James Leeson (1756-1794)
Interred at Trinity Churchyard in New York City.
Photo by Allison C. Meier
What makes this epitaph unique is the cryptogram that appears at the top of the stone. Once deciphered the message warns, "Remember Death."

How to Play the Sell-Used-Textbook Game and Win
The Reality of Buying and Selling Textbooks
The American Dream: Go to college, get good grades, find a good job, and get a house, a family, and maybe a dog. What they don't tell you is, if you're like most American families, not only will you have to take out a massive loan to attend that college, but in large part to pay for four years worth of academic textbooks. I graduated college in 2014 and in my four years at school invested around $2000 in textbooks alone.
Not coming from a wealthy family, $500 a year for textbooks that I would use for one semester and never open again,was asking a lot. At the end of my studies, like many students I went to sell back these textbooks at the campus bookstore. What I found was essentially highway robbery. The business law textbook in brand new condition for which I paid $175 the school offered to buy back for $35. Refusing this possibility, I realized that the campus bookstore as the "only game in town" for selling back my books was not going to work for me.
Why couldn't I get an offer even close to what I had originally paid for? The books were in perfect condition; I had made sure they were kept just as pristine as the day I had bought them. Yet I stood in line, amongst hundreds of my other classmates, waiting to sell back books I never used for a fraction of the cost of what I paid.
Freshman year I abided by this trickery, and played the game to lose just like how they want you to. But in my opinion going to the campus bookstore and hoping for a great deal on selling back your books is hopeless, so here are some of the best ways I've found to sell your used textbooks back online:
The Best Places to Sell Back Your Textbooks
I learned about this website from a friend of mine and have used it religiously ever since. Basically it takes a bunch of different textbook buyback sites and puts them all in one place. Bonavendi is a price comparison portal that lets you type in your books ISBN's and shows you what over 20 different buyback sites are currently offering to buy your book for. You just pick an offer and sell it there, very simple and the vendors pay for the shipping.
I would download their app as well because it allows you to scan the books barcodes with your phone right into your selling cart, which can really speed up the process. If you are dealing with 20 to 30 books manually typing in ISBN's (the book identification numbers) can be quiet tedious. If you decide not to download the app you can still type in ISBN numbers or book titles on the site, however it obviously takes longer this way.
Bookscouter essentially does the same thing as Bonavendi, without the offering price comparison services for DVD's, CD's, and Video Games that Bonavendi does. Bookscouter is great resource to have if your looking to get in depth reviews of the vendors and their policies. Bookscouter is very transparent and allows for a great experience when comparing buyback offers for your books.
Bookscouter also has an app that I would recommend downloading for the simple barcode scanning of your books. However please be aware that the site does not provide a selling cart therefore you must sell each book once at a time and go directly to the vendor after each price query. Nonetheless it is a great website and I would highly recommend using it for selling back textbooks.
Amazon Trade-In is a good resource to use if you are looking to sell back a bunch of things other than just books. Amazon offers a variety of items they will buy back from you ranging from cellphones, laptops, gaming consoles and of course textbooks. If you are a fan of Amazon, you will definitely enjoy Amazon Trade In. It is very intuitive and allows for a very simple navigation and ease of use in their buyback process.
Just simply state the condition with which your book or used item is in with four simple questions, print out a pre-paid shipping label, and send in your stuff to Amazon. Upon receiving and inspecting your stuff amazon provides you with an Amazon voucher for the offer amount they illustrated. Some people prefer cash, however these days if you're looking to shop you can buy just about anything on Amazon so it basically amounts to the same.
Other Buyback Sites to Sell With
I have had success in the past with Half.com. Ebay owns the site and it gives decent offers for your used textbooks, especially if you have something that is more rare or sought after. The prices are fair and the customer service is very good if you have any questions or issues with your stuff. If you're looking to buy textbooks for a good deal, this is also a great place to do so.
Chegg is a great resource for college students to use when it comes to the selling, buying, or leasing of textbooks online. Chegg also offers tutoring courses in a variety of subjects through their online programs. The buyback offers are not the highest for the books, however most of the time they are still fair and provide a variety of other services as well for students looking to make it through their college years.
Things to Be Aware Of When Selling Back Your Books
1) Always check the website's minimum cart value requirements when selling your used textbooks. Often these buyback sites will set a minimum value, for example $15, required for you to get free shipping; otherwise you have to pay for the shipping yourself.
2) Always check the website's policy on minimum item amounts; sometimes these buyback websites require that you sell back a certain number of books in order to be eligible for completing a sale.
3) Always check the condition policy of the website. Sometimes buyback websites will illustrate that they will not buy a textbook from you if it is deemed a certain condition (torn cover, writing on the pages, etc.)
4) Always check the payment time period and payment type. For most buyback websites you can expect payment in the form of PayPal or check within 48 hours of them receiving and inspecting your books.
The Big Question
I know when it comes to selling any of your used stuff, the big question I always ask myself is "Is the time it takes to sell these things worth the money?"
Taking the time to go online and figure out how and where to get the best deal for selling back your books is not something everyone wants to do, especially if you're very busy.
If you want to, your local bookstore or campus bookstore is a perfectly convenient place to unload your collection of books. However, I would recommend utilizing some of the great websites I have listed above and try shipping your textbooks in to a good buyback vendor.
I really hope this article helps some of you. Please feel free to comment below and share some of your textbook selling experiences or any other great websites you feel should be added to the list.

Attorney General Takes Action to Support Legal Representation for Children in Deportation Hearings
Attorney General Bob Ferguson yesterday asked the U.S. District Court in Seattle, Wash. for permission to file an amicus, or "friend of the court," brief in the J.E.F.M. v. Holder lawsuit. Ferguson believes that unaccompanied immigrant children — children under the age of 18 who are not accompanied by a parent or legal guardian when they are apprehended in the United States — should not be forced to represent themselves in complex deportation hearings in which the child's future is at stake.
This class-action lawsuit was filed on July 9, 2014 on behalf of thousands of children, challenging the federal government's failure to ensure they have legal representation as it carries out deportation hearings against them. For the most part, these children are fleeing to escape violence and crime back in their home countries. A majority of the children are coming from Honduras, El Salvador, and Guatemala.
Washington state is not a party to the lawsuit. Ferguson seeks to file a friend of the court brief because Washington has a significant interest in assuring that the unaccompanied immigrant children residing in our state receive full and fair hearings.

Merriam Webster's definition of a "Quilt"– A bed coverlet of two layers of cloth filled with batting held in place with ties or a stitched design.
Here at QuiltMyShirts.com, we make T-shirt quilts.We do not advertise quilts and then make you a blanket, as some other t-shirt "quilt" companies are doing. Why does it matter? Blankets are stretchy and thin. They will only hold up as long as the t-shirt holds up. How many of your shirts have seen better days just from wear? A blanket will wear out just like your shirts. There is nothing in-between the shirts and the fleece backing to keep them stabilized.
T-shirt blankets are made by taking the stretchy t-shirts and constructing them (envelope style) with a stretchy fleece fabric for backing. There is no reinforcement to stabilize these two layers. When they are washed the 2 layers have the tendency to shrink at different percentages, resulting in a distorted throw. They are very economical as they only take a few steps to construct, but unfortunately you will only get a few more years out of your t-shirts.
Our quilts are different. We produce a premium, quality product. They are made with the finest quilter-grade fabrics (Retail $11/yrd+), high-end cotton blend battings and professionally machine quilted using state-of-the-art computerized equipment to apply patterns that are less than 2″ apart for density. This process stabilizes all 3 layers and is the secret to your quilt lasting a lifetime.
Bottom line…..There is a world of difference between a t-shirt blanket vs. a t-shirt quilt. Make sure you research the differences on your own and compare apples with apples..
Competitor's "quilt."
Our Quilt.... any difference?
- Quality is the most important thing at QuiltMyShirts.com.
- We use 100% quilter's grade cotton for all sashing and backing fabrics.
- All quilts are professionally machine quilted using computerized, state-of-the art equipment. Our patterns are less than 2″ apart in density, making them last for years to come.
- Our quilts are NOT hand-tied. Hand-tied quilts will not hold up to the multiple washings these quilts will undergo.
- We use a strong non-shine clear thread for maximum durability.
- Our battings are high-grade poly (20%)/cotton (80%) blend for the perfect weight and softness.
- We hold a NC bedding license, assuring you the exact fiber content of the materials used will be listed on your finished product.
Bottom line – if you want them to last a lifetime, have us make you a QUILT!
Yes! Just about any type of material that lays flat will work. But there are a few exceptions! Below is a list of what we can and cannot use. If you don't see the type of shirt on this list, please feel free to contact us.
- cotton T-shirt
- sports jerseys (please be aware that if you send us a tank style it will incur extra piecing charges.
- tech type t-shirts
- sweatshirts
- nightgowns
- most lightweight jackets can be used (nylon)
- jogging pants
- pajamas
- cheerleading uniforms
- dance costumes
- heavily sequenced items
- hats
- knit items such as sweaters, afghans, scarves etc.
We do not send out emails, but all you need to do is check Orders Received page on our website. Usually shirts received are posted within 24 hours.
Some customers have pre-cut their shirts thinking they could save some money on shipping them to us, only to find out that they cut them too small for us to make our normal block size. In these cases, we either have to rebuild the blocks that are too small by piecing them or cut all the blocks a smaller size which reduces the size of the quilt. We charge an additional $8.50 to piece a block, so the pre-cutting can actually end up costing you more money. If you have large to X-large shirts, adult male shirts or larger you could possibly pre-cut them but we require a minimum 16″ X 16″ block.
Yes, we print photos onto a soft premium cotton knit fabric. We need an electronic file such as jpg. You can read more about our photos on our options page. We charge an additional $15.00 a block per photo block.
When your quilt is almost ready to ship you will receive your final invoice by email. You can open your invoice in your email and pay it directly from your email. Once we have received your final balance your quilt will be shipped to you. We cannot accept any Money Orders.
Recently we've been asked this question quite a bit since some companies have recently started to claim they make T-shirt quilts. Here is my response to most of those emails.
"YES!!!! We do use an interfacing on the backs of these shirts. If you've been shopping around on the internet, there a few sites that discourage this procedure. The reason they discourage this is because they simply are not selling quilts. They are selling blankets and mis-leading customers into thinking they are quilts.. With a blanket, there is no batting in-between the layers and no need to machine quilt the layers together. We use a soft interfacing on the backs of the shirts to stabilize the shirt for the quilting process. This interfacing washes out (dissolving) after multiple washes, leaving the quilt that much softer. Within the last few years, quite a few new sites have popped up indicating that they make t-shirt "quilts" when in fact they are making "blankets," discouraging the use of interfacing which has been the standard practice for t-shirt quilts from experienced quilters for years and years.
Because of this recent competition, I decided I would offer the same product as they were offering. A simple quilt "blanket" made only of un-stabilized t-shirts with a fleece backing. I made up a sample quilt… I did not back the shirts with interfacing and put a fleece backing on it. After I had completed it, I realized I just could not put out quality like that. It was very, very stretchy, it felt awful. I washed it and watched the two ply of layers shrink inconsistently leaving it very distorted. Because of this experiment, I decided I would not compete with this type of product. I really feel for all the people who are getting mis-led by these companies. We are frequently getting asked if we can fix a quilt like this. Our answer is usually no.
Please make sure you are comparing apples to apples when shopping around for a t-shirt quilt company to fill your needs.
You are more than welcome to send us your own fabric. The fabric must be quilters grade 100% cotton. Please refer to the chart below for yardages. We cannot accept backing fabric but we welcome you to send your own sashing and corner block fabrics. We will supply a backing fabric to coordinate with your fabric. We will also deduct $20 from your total order if fabric is included.
We understand that shipping your memories may seem scary. However, the tracking systems used by carriers today know precisely where your package is at any time. In the 16 years we've been in business, we have never had a customer lose their package shipping it to us and we have never lost one shipping their quilt back.
We also do our best to take good care of your shirts while they are in our hands. Your order is logged into our system and placed in its own separate bin. Your bin contains all the information you sent us and your order is printed out exactly how you originally entered it. It is attached to your bin along with your name, and stored in a rack system that keeps every order separate.
When your order is started, we review all your notes and instructions again to ensure complete accuracy.
Shipping costs depend on the size of the box, the weight, and the distance and area from which it is shipped from. You can't change the area you live in, but you can use the smallest box possible.
Pack the shirts in the box as tight as possible without overstuffing the box. Rolling the shirts, or a tight folding job, makes a huge difference on how small a box you can use.
A box with that has extra space will most likely be crushed and subject to opening. The boxes that show up in good condition and unharmed are those that were packed nice and tight with a quality shipping tape. The boxes that show up crushed and partially opened are the oversize boxes with a sparse amount of tape. Please do not use styrofoam peanuts! This is just a waste of money and creates a mess when it's opened.
Please use one large bag to put all the shirts in before you box them up. A trash bag is fine. The bag's purpose is to keep all the shirts together should your box become crushed or opened. Individual bags do quite the opposite. They are slick and if a box is crushed or opened, they can slide out very easily.
We ask that you do not ask for a confirmed signature. We do not always work set hours and sometimes we are away during deliveries. We have video surveillance in the area where we receive packages and once the package is delivered (if we are not there) we get phone notifications. If we need to sign for your package, that creates a delay in us receiving it because we then have to physically go to the post office and pick it up.
If you need a signature, please use UPS. They always require a signature and they will redeliver the next day if we are not there.
Normally we use the side that has the largest graphic. If you want us to use both sides of the shirt, please mark the shirt with either a note pinned to it or write on painters tape and stick it on the cloth of the t-shirt – not the graphic. Please do not use masking tape as this causes a residue hard to remove. You also need to mark the shirt if you think we will be unsure of what side to use. Please do NOT use Duct tape.
Normally we just arrange the shirts by alternating lights and darks. You may however use one of our layout grids provided here Layout Sheets or you also can simply snap a picture of the layout and include it with the shirts. These pictures can be printed out with black and white ink or color.
Quilts look good when there is a balanced number of rows. For example, if you sent 20 t-shirts, the quilt would be in rows of 5 blocks x 4 blocks and this would look good. If someone sent us 23 t-shirts, we would need to add an extra graphic to bring it up to a 24 (long twin). Quilts look best when the following number of shirts are sent: 16, 20, 24, 25, 30, 36, 42, 49.

Are you looking for a whole new way of bringing fun interactivity to your wedding? Especially in the early hours of the night? Consider Eversnap.
I had a great experience over the weekend with this crazy-good app. Eversnap allows your guests to create and add-to your very own, always online wedding album – both photos and videos. You may have seen smartphone apps in the past that have done this, but Eversnap is a little bit different.
Firstly, this app has a fabulous design. It is very easy to pickup and use without any sort of experience or technical know-now. Your mum and dad will have no problems with it – your photo album on your phone will even look and feel a little bit like Facebook with the ability to like and comment on photos.
The 'back-end' of the app is very well designed too and has great support and features.
More so, this app also can enable you to run a live slideshow on the night, straight from your online photo album. Better yet, this slideshow can be moderated too. You can let Eversnap know what sort of photos you desire. That way you don't get your grandfather's hairy chest (or worse) coming up on your projector!
I feel that this is a much better option than a photobooth (sorry to my photobooth colleagues). It allows your guests to become immersed in your night – while still maintaining overall control with the moderation feature of the slideshow. It's fun and extremely dynamic and interactive.
So many times throughout the night I saw guests snapping fun and happy photos. They'd then watch the screen for the next few minutes and then scream out in delight when they saw their new photo up on the projector. It became a little bit of a competition to who could snap the best photo – who could best demonstrate how much fun they were truly having.
With so many people having smartphones at your wedding, why not take advantage of this? It's something that you can remind guests of upon arrival, during cocktail hour, after entrees, going into main-course. It's a fun and interactive way to keep them involved and very much apart of the night during the early hours of your wedding reception. At the end of it too, you'll have a great record of your night, as seen by your guests. Often this is the unseen side of the night, as you'll be so busy trying to connect with and see all of your family and friends.
The best news yet, it's extremely well priced. Bang for buck, it's amazing value.
This is something I'll be bringing to the table for all my client meetings in the feature. Better yet, this is something I can offer to my bride and grooms now. I'd be more than happy to organise this up for you, to set it up the technical aspects on the night, to ensure that we remind your guests to get involved and truly become apart of your event.
I'm always available on a full-time basis to have a chat. Please send me an email if you would like to sit down with me. Peter Yacono Productions, Your Melbourne Wedding DJ.

Pablo Picasso
Spanish, 1881 - 1973
In the spring of 1943, while still with Dora Maar, Pablo Picasso met Francoise Gilot, then a young art student. She soon became his mistress, and gave birth to their daughter Paloma and son Claude not long after the two moved-in together in 1946. The family split their time between Paris and the Mediterranean, where Picasso had purchased his villa near Vallauris. A self-proclaimed Communist, Picasso was reputed for the politically charged nature of the works he executed during this period, but as Michael C. Fitzgerald writes it was "Picasso's still lifes, portraits, and figure paintings that constitute his major work of these years.... Moreover, the portraits of Francoise and their children, Claude and Paloma, not only constitute a remarkable group of private images; they also frequently infuse the more public pictures with a welcome element of playfulness and renew dialogue with past art that would increasingly propel Picasso's late career" (Michael C. Fitzgerald, "A Triangle of Ambitions: Art, Politics, and Family during the Postwar Years with Francoise Gilot," Picasso and Portraiture, Representation and Transformation (exhibition catalogue), Museum of Modern Art, New York 1996, pp. 411 and 413). The present work, presumed to be a portrait of Gilot, was executed in May of 1953. By this time the couple's relationship was strained, stemming from Picasso's numerous affairs and Gilot's resistance to having a third child. Consistent with many of Picasso's portraits of Gilot towards the end of their relationship, Tete de Femme reflects a new characterization of his mistress. While reconfiguration of his female subjects was not new to Picasso's work, the present painting is remarkable as Gilot's trademark emotive, wide oval eyes, perfect nose and full lips are now almost indistinguishable. Here the artist skillfully employs line and monochromatic color to depict Gilot's face with flattened planes. Volume has been reduced by a careful manipulation of these elements, and Gilot's bust is clearly dilineated against the bare, white background. Picasso and Gilot's relationship lasted until the sum¬mer of 1953, when the artist left her for Jacqueline Roque.Biography courtesy of Roughton Galleries, www.antiquesandfineart.com/roughton Pablo Picasso Ceramics

Why Do Asset Prices Fall When Interest Rates Increase?
Understanding the Relationship Between Asset Prices and Interest Rates
One of the dangers of historically low-interest rates is they can inflate asset prices; things such as stocks, bonds, and real estate trade at higher valuations than they would otherwise support. For stocks, this can lead to higher-than-normal price-to-earnings ratios, PEG ratios, dividend-adjusted PEG ratios, price-to-book value ratios, price-to-cash flow ratios, price-to-sales ratios, as well as lower-than-normal earnings yields and dividend yields.
All of this can seem fantastic if you bought stocks prior to the decline in interest rates, allowing you to experience the boom all the way to the top. It's not so great for those without many assets put aside who want to begin saving, such as young adults just out of high school or college, entering the workforce for the first time.
When you buy an investment, what you are really buying is future cash flows; profit or sales proceeds that, adjusted for time, risk, inflation, and taxes, you believe are going to provide an adequate rate of return, and good compound annual growth rate.
But why do asset prices fall when interest rates rise? What is behind the decline? It's a fantastic question. Although far more complicated were we to delve into the mechanics, at the heart of the matter, it mostly comes down to two things.
The Opportunity Cost of the "Risk-Free" Rate Becomes More Attractive
Most people have enough common sense to compare what they can earn on a potential investment in stocks, bonds, or real estate to what they can earn from parking the money in safe assets. For small investors, this often is the interest rate payable on an FDIC-insured savings account, checking account, money market account, or money market mutual fund. For larger investors, businesses, and institutions, this is the so-called "risk-free" rate on U.S. Treasury bills.
If the "safe" rates increase, you, and most other investors, are going to be less likely to want to part with your money or take any risks. This is only natural. Why expose yourself to losses or volatility when you can sit back, collect interest, and know you'll eventually get your full (nominal) principal value back at some point in the future? There are no annual reports to read, no 10-K's to study, no proxy statements to peruse.
Practical Example
Imagine the 10-year Treasury bond offered a 2.4% pre-tax yield. You are looking at a stock that sells for $100.00 per share and has diluted earnings per share of $4.00. Of that $4.00, $2.00 is paid out as a cash dividend. This results in an earnings yield of 4.00% and a dividend yield of 2.00%.
Now, imagine the Federal Reserve increases interest rates. The 10-year Treasury ends up yielding 5.0% pre-tax. All else equal, why would you buy a stock that has a lower return? The only motivation to buy stocks instead of Treasuries under this scenario would be if the price of the stock dropped in value.
Inverse Action Between Asset Prices and Interest Rates
Asset prices will fall when interest rates rise because of the cost of capital changes. This impacts businesses and real estate by cutting into earnings. A second reason asset prices fall when interest rates increase is it can profoundly influence the level of net income reported on the income statement. When a business borrows money, it does through either bank loans or by issuing corporate bonds. If the interest rates a company can get in the market are substantially higher than the interest rate it is paying on its existing debt, it will have to give up more cash flow for every dollar of liabilities outstanding when it comes time to refinance. This will result in much higher interest expenses. This causes earnings to decline, which in turn causes the stock price to decline.
This also causes the so-called interest coverage ratio to decline, too, making the company appear riskier. If that increased risk is sufficiently high, it might cause investors to demand an even bigger risk premium, lowering the stock price even more.
Asset-intensive businesses that require a lot of property, plant, and equipment are among the most vulnerable to this sort of interest rate risk. Other firms sail right by this problem, totally unaffected.
Positive Impacts
Several types of businesses actually prosper when interest rates rise. Often, these are firms that have a lot of cash and liquid holdings. If interest rates were to increase a decent percentage, the firm would suddenly be earning billions upon billions of dollars in additional income per year from that money. In such cases, it can become particularly interesting as the fact from the first item—investors demanding lower stock prices to compensate them for the fact Treasury bills, bonds, and notes are providing richer returns—duke it out with this phenomenon as the earnings themselves grow. If the business is sitting on enough spare change, it's possible the stock price could actually increase in the end. This is one of the things that makes investing so intellectually enjoyable.
The same goes for real estate. Imagine you have $500,000 in equity capital you want to put into a real estate project. Whatever project you create, you know you must put 30% equity into it to maintain your preferred risk profile, with the other 70% coming from bank loans or other sources of financing. If interest rates increase, your cost of capital rises. That means you either have to pay less for the property, or you have to be content with far lower cash flows—money that would have gone into your pocket but now gets redirected to the lenders. The result? The quoted value of the real estate must decline relative to where it had been.

A few more details...
So far, every indication is that this little one (yes, just one...thank goodness) is healthy, active and growing. Privately, we've been cautiously excited--definitely with a greater emphasis on the cautious part.
Since one of my talents is not being pregnant or staying pregnant we've had lots of ultrasounds. It's been fun (and definitely reassuring!) to check in on the baby pretty regularly and watch it grow from the time that it was just a flicker on the screen.
Now that things are this far along we're trying to lessen the anxiety a bit and just be happy that this sweet miracle will be joining our family.
Our little kicker is expected to arrive sometime around December 16...or a little before, if I'm lucky!

RPO News
RPO News
Exciting News
Scheck & Siress Moves into Wisconsin with Reichert Prosthetics Orthotics
Oak Brook, IL, Wednesday, May 8, 2019 — Scheck & Siress announces the acquisition of Reichert Prosthetics Orthotics (RPO) located in Kenosha, Wisconsin. RPO has been owned and led by Doug Reichert since 2012, although Reichert has been dedicated to the southeastern Wisconsin and northeastern Illinois regions since he began offering prosthetic care in 1993. RPO has locations in Kenosha and Racine, WI. Scheck's partnership with Reichert and his team expands its presence into Wisconsin to provide orthotic and prosthetic care to more patients while enhancing support to hospital partners in Wisconsin.

KENOSHA, WI – July 2, 2018 — Reichert Prosthetics Orthotics (RPO) is pleased to announce that ABC Board eligible prosthetist and orthotist, Elizabeth Bianchi-Knod has joined the company. Bianchi-Knod has just completed a two year dual prosthetic and orthotic residency with Chicago-based O & P group, Scheck & Siress. During her residency, she worked to hone her skills in collaboration with specialists in different aspects of the field including scoliosis, vacuum, subischial and PFFD prosthetics, in addition to pediatric orthotics and custom burn masks.

There she worked with the Orthotics department where she was first exposed to the wide variety of patient treatments and bracing devices that could be used to support specific pediatric scoliosis conditions.

Low back pain is one of the most common health complaints. As much as four out of five adults will experience significant low back pain at some point in their lifetime. There are many causes of low back pain, however, the most likely cause of low back pain is a muscle or ligament strain and a general lack of movement.
To rule out other more serious conditions, it's always a good idea to consult a physician or a physiotherapist well versed with low back problems like Shawn Williams.
Muscle and ligament strains occur when the strength and fitness of our low back and core muscles is not good enough to keep up with activities of our daily living. Muscles get fatigued or they cannot produce enough tension to maintain good form and as a result ligaments get overstretched which then causes pain.
It becomes clear now that in order to protect low back and avoid injuries, we need to work on improving low back and core fitness, but also learn how to move properly and control that strength and fitness to our advantage. Knowing how to press, pull, carry and pick heavy objects from the ground while maintaining proper spinal alignment is just as important as building fitness.
Low back and core muscles work together to stabilize the spine and allow proper movement. In fact, low back muscles are classified as core muscles because of their close relationship with other core muscles. Many people think of core as a six pack or this one specific muscle they need to strengthen when actually core consist of all muscles that run the entire length of your torso. We have core muscles on the front, back and side of the torso working together to stabilize the spine, shoulder girdle and pelvis. This provides a stables base of support for your arms and legs to produce powerful pressing, throwing, jumping and pulling movements.
Nem's workshop at Amsterdam Brewery on a topic of low back strengthening and injury prevention.
To build a strong and functional core, you want to include a variety of exercises that challenge the core muscles in different ways. Include movements such as trunk bending (e.g. crunches), holds (e.g. front plank, side plank) and rotations.
Depending on your current fitness levels and pain intensity, you might need to start with core exercises performed lying down and focus on proper motor control and activation first before moving to more advanced core variations. You'll need to learn what the neutral position really is and what it feels like to have this neutral spine position. Performing a variety of exercise lying down like dead bugs, McGill crunch and learning how to "draw in" will teach you just that.
From here you'll move to different plank variations like a front plank and side plank. Once these exercises become easy, you'll move to more advanced plank variations where you'll learn to properly brace your core and keep proper spinal alignment while moving arms and/or legs. For example, try holding a front plank position and then lifting opposite leg and arm at the same time. Do you tilt to one side? Are you able to keep balance and keep whole body relatively straight?
At this stage we can start to include standing and half kneeling positions that involve resisting external resistance. An example of this exercise is pallof press where you obliques and other core muscles resist trunk rotation.
And finally the last stage of core conditioning include dynamic exercises performed at varying speeds and using external objects like medicine balls and dumbbells. Some examples include standing cable rotations and half kneeling medicine ball throws.
If you are not sure where to start, I'm providing you with a five exercise sample core routine that you can try right away. This routine will challenge your core musculature from different angles and planes of movement for a complete training effect. The recommended number of sets and repetitions are just an example and you'll want to adjust these parameters based on your current fitness levels and pain intensity. Slight ache in low back is fine as long as there is no sharp pain present. On a pain level scale from 1-10 with 10 being the most excruciating pain you every experienced, we want to stay withing 1-5 zone.
You can perform this sample routine 2-4x/week that consist of the following five exercises:
1. DEAD BUG EXERCISE (2-3 sets, 8-15 repetitions/side)
2. FRONT PLANK (2-3 sets, 10 sec hold, 3-8 repetitions)
3. SIDE PLANK (2-3 sets, 10 sec hold, 3-8 repetitions)
4. LEG LIFTS (2-3 sets, 8-15 repetitions/side)
5. CABLE ROTATIONS (2-3 sets, 8-15 repetitions/side)
In addition to exercise and getting core muscles stronger, there are other things you can do to ensure low back health:
- Massage therapy can provide a significant pain relief. Find a knowledgeable and reliable registered massage therapist who is experienced in dealing with low back problems. Check out Harbourview RMT!
- Weight management - excess weight will put more pressure on the spine and increase likelihood of experiencing some type of low back disorder.
-Proper nutrition - aside from weight management, healthy nutrition will provide you with all the nutrients your body needs to function at its best and support recovery.
-Stress management - stress has been linked to heightened pain response. In other words, reducing stress levels alone can reduce pain intensity. This has to due with the fact that pain is affected by many other things aside from tissue damage.
- Sleep - our bodies heal when we sleep. Ensuring you are getting 7-9 hours of high quality sleep every night will help tremednously in getting rid of low back pain and improving core fitness.

hwitan asked:
Some suggest that a signature contained within a box within a document separates that signature from the rest of the document.
What is the precise meaning of the four corner rule and or boxes within documents?
It is interesting to note signs, symbols and terminology – four corners?:
All Four corners of the world. For most the world is the earth; it isn't!!
Etymology of world is:
O.E. woruld, worold "human existence, the affairs of life," also "the human race, mankind," a word peculiar to Gmc. languages (cf. O.S. werold, O.Fris. warld, Du. wereld, O.N. verold, O.H.G. weralt, Ger. Welt), with a literal sense of "age of man," from P.Gmc. *wer "man" (O.E. wer, still in werewolf; see virile) + *ald "age" (see old). Originally "life on earth, this world (as opposed to the afterlife)," sense extended to "the known world"
So the four corners of the world could mean – human affairs contained within the four corner Rule:
So what is it?
hwitan replied:
This is an interesting post from pleasuredome 4th January 2009, 18:28 on the consumer action group: https://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/topic/154051-the-four-corner-rule/
The Four Corner Rule
The term is ordinarily included in the phrase within the four corners of the document, which denotes that in ascertaining the legal significance and consequences of the document, the parties and the court can only examine its language and all matters encompassed within it. Extraneous information concerning the document that does not appear in it–within its four corners–cannot be evaluated.
Four Corners legal definition
so anything that is not in the four corners of the document has no effect on it.
if a box is put onto the document, a new 'four corners' is created. it follows that anything inside that box has no effect on the language outside of it and vice versa.
most CC agreements i have seen contain a signature box. if you sign within the box, you agree to the terms within the box, not on the whole document. if there were no terms in the box where you signed and there is no signature of the bank rep in the box, then there cant be an agreement.
can anyone add to this?
lambchop replied:
So why put the bloody box there then?
smilingalltheway replied:
I 've also seen this for the for office use only section where their rep signs it, it does not refer to the agreement but more to their involvement in processing the agreement. (or possible commission for the process being completed with client signature) so their signature does not apply to the agreement.
It could also mean that if you are taken to court for any matters pertaining to the agreement, it doesn't matter what the contents of the agreement are, once you've given a judge jurisdiction, they will do what they want regardless of the agreement. i.e. the signature will mean nothing since you have already given jurisdiction to being part of the agreement, whether or not it's part of the doc or not using the four corner rule. you've made it pertain to you, regardless of the fact that ths signature is in a seperate box.
could it mean that they are protecting themselves from their own agreement?
knowing that it has errors or may have errors.
or knowing that it's wrong yet by having the box using the four corner rule, they protect themselves, plus try and pass begin and collect…..
win, win , win
have they knowingly done this to protect themselves against any future repercussions of their so called agreement.
Do they have knowledge that it will someday be exposed and used this to protect themselves against this?
does this also mean that within the four corner rule, if there is nothing in it but a signature, they can make it up as they go along, (in reference to court cases).
Like signing a blank piece of paper, and letting them fill in the rest of the details as they please.
what happens when we sign a blank piece of paper?
I've seen reference to this before, could it be of significance to this?
Blacks Law / Moorish Law Dealing With the Courts PT.1
Blacks Law / Moorish Law Dealing With the Courts PT.2
great post, it has given us something to think about
regarding the four corners of the earth, it clearly can't have four corners unless it was flat, but we know it isn't, so they'd have a hard time making this fact.
smilingalltheway replied:
That consumer action group is full of people providing disinformation, it's really sad to see that pleasuredome was offering sound advice and the people on there were going against what was valuable information.
I've seen this on other sites also including tpuc, the site is great, but the forums look like slagging matches.
We're lucky to have such a great forum and I hope it stays this way.
hwitan replied:
Yes this really is a very informative forum, due to the devoted and experienced individuals who post here for the benefit of others like me.
I would say that the information is massing very quickly and newcomers are going to find it increasingly time consuming trawling through all the posts.
Perhaps at some point in the near future the information could be honed for ease of access to frequently asked questions such as:
What is the difference between a lawful contract and an agreement?
What is the difference between a signature and an autograph?
What colour inks to use and why?
What is the Four Corner Rule?
What circumstances demonstrate a debt as sold, for example bank merger or bank sold, or DCA?
Etc., etc.
Thank you satw

Ashton West | Writer
JOSEPH Reece is a dynamic scoring wing. At 6'9 he can play out on the perimeter or take his long frame inside and down low. The 2018 prospect displayed his ability to score at all three levels as well as being an effective rebounder on both ends. Joseph has great hands, catching dime after dime from teammates Courtney Ramey, Torrence Watson, and DeAndre Campbell and finishing in the lane through contact. After a double digit win over an Illinois based AAU program, I caught up with the 3-star prospect to talk basketball, ramey jets, and scholarships.
AW: Who's offered thus far?
JR: K-State, Old Dominion, St. Louis, Murray State, Brown.
AW: Dream school?
JR: Syracuse. I love Jim Boheim.
AW: How do you feel you're playing so far this summer?
JW: I feel like I'm playing well, always room for improvement.
AW: How would you describe your game to someone who has never seen you play before?
JW: I'm a long guard who likes to get everyone else involved. I can score anywhere on the floor because I can shoot and drive. I'm unselfish!
2018 6'9 SF, Joseph Reece has the ability and intangibles to be an impact player in college and BEYOND. This is an exciting time for Joseph and his family as there seems to be no stopping him at this point!
