A.W. Tillinghast was one of the most prominent golf course architects of the United States' Golden Age of golf course design. "Tilly" is credited for having worked on at least 265 golf courses. Some were his original, while he consulted on many others.
Today, many of his designs are part of elite private facilities, particularly on the east coast. The 36 holes at Winged Foot, a popular U.S. Open host, are regarded by many as his finest work. But there are plenty of other exclusive private clubs with his design touch up and down the eastern seaboard, especially around New York City.
While most of the best Tillinghast-designed golf courses are part of exclusive private clubs, there are some notable courses open to the public, perhaps none more well known than Bethpage Black, one of five 18-hole courses at this Long Island state park. Many of these Tillinghast designs are actually quite affordable, often a result of their walkability and smaller footprint (many just 6,200 yards or so). Some are located at resorts, while others were previously private clubs that now offer some public play.
In our database of more than 500,000 reviews, we have just over 900 reviews of Tillinghast-designed courses. Most are reviews of his public, semi-private and resort courses. With the PGA Championship returning to Baltusrol, one of his most celebrated works, we thought we'd uncover which of his designs have fared best according to your reviews.
If your favorite Tillinghast work isn't listed here, be sure to write a review for it by looking for it in the search box at the top of the page, or tweet us @golfadvisor.
Top 10 A.W. Tillinghast designs you can play, according to Golf Advisor ratings
Farmingdale, N.Y.
The host of the U.S. Open and upcoming PGA Championship and Ryder Cup, as well as the FedEx Cup Playoffs, the Black is well known for its demanding layout. Top 100 reviewer Toothsaw2 wrote:
Right off the bat the course is tough with a long par 4 that has a 90 degree dogleg, that is pretty difficult to hit far enough to get a clear approach. From then on you can expect super tight fairways, crazy thick rough, and bunkers... so many bunkers. Fortunately, if you ever make it to the green, they are mostly pretty flat and roll very true. Almost every hole is marvelous to look at... I'd say 10-11 are the two most boring holes visually. there is a lot of elevation change, tricky but attractive bunkering, and lots of direction change as well..
Bedford, Pa.
The course dates back to 1895 and has design credit from both Tillinghast and Donald Ross. It was also significantly updated in 2007. Senior Writer Jason Scott Deegan played the course earlier in 2016 and wrote this in his review:
Playing the Old course at Bedford Springs twice in two days in May gave me a full appreciation for this special and endearing place located in a peaceful rural setting two hours west of Pittsburgh. The architecture team of Ron Forse and Jim Nagle did a bang-up job in the restoration of this Donald Ross/A.W. Tillinghast course about a decade ago. They remained true to classical architecture, while adding their own touches. Forse calls Bedford Springs a "museum" of course design.
Farmingdale, N.Y.
Senior Writer Mike Bailey thinks the Red Course is every bit as good as the famous Black Course next door:
If you ask the locals, they'll tell you the Red ranks right up there with the famed Black Course. In fact, if the Red got the same attention as the two-time U.S Open course, it might be on par with the Black,. As is, the Red is a terrific layout with plenty of challenge. From the back at 7,000 yards, it's all the golf most players can handle. Play it from the proper tees, and you've got a great test of golf, especially with the treacherous bunkering throughout.
Wernersville, Pa.
Top 50 Golf Advisor reviewer bradco rated the course five stars and said it's worth the drive from metro Philadelphia. On the design:
The course is tight and has huge elevation changes. You need to play here a few times to understand where you can miss shots otherwise you can make plenty of errors in judgment...The bunkering on this course is really good and the fairway traps have fescue around them like you'd see at Merion. The greens have slope to them and you have to be underneath the hole to score well. All in all, the course is a hidden gem and I highly recommend a day trip to come here for tremendous value and a challenging course."
Tallahassee, Fla.
Reviewer JayRevell adored the classic look of this Tillinghast design in Florida's capital city. His review:
The course is very playable, but has many challenges in store. Hit it straight and manage to putt some of the tricky greens and you can post a nice score. You will feel like you are playing a classic northeast course. Observe the unique qualities of Capital City Country Club and appreciate this great A.W. Tillinghast layout."
Shawnee on Delaware, Pa.
Local Golf Advisor Steve3709753 had this to say in his three-star review:
It's generally flat and lots of doglegs. I played a good variety of clubs during the round which I enjoy. Most everyone will like playing the course. As for it being a resort, its older and this course doesn't stand up to most of them in the Poconos region. But playing this after the Nicklaus designed course [the resort] also manages might be a nice break. It's a good course to play overall.
San Antonio
Tillinghast designed a handful of golf courses in San Antonio, including Oak Hills Country Club and Fort Sam Houston. Brackenridge Park, however, is the most played, as the centerpiece of the city's six-course muni system, the Alamo City Golf Trail. It was extensively updated in 2008. Reviewer pdicosm wrote:
Brack is great course for every type of golfer. All 18 holes are contained with OB around the external perimeter on the course. This allows for players to get a little forgiveness on some misses. It isn't uncommon to find a player playing the 9th hole playing from the first fairway or vice versa. I like playing the 14th hole down the 13th fairway (so watch out!). The course is always in great shape and the greens roll true. The front 9 features some tighter fairways and smaller greens than the very scorable back 9 with the two short par 5s 12 & 13. It's pretty neat to play Tillinghast's classic square cut greens on holes 2, 4, 6, 7, 11, 14, 15 and 18. Also, when the rounds done take a peak in the locker room where you see old lockers featuring the names of Ben Hogan, Byron Nelson, and Sam Snead.
Manchester, Conn.
A.W. Tillinghast updated parts of the course in 1935 after an original layout from Tom Bendelow and Devereux Emmet in 1917. A member of this now semi-private club wrote:
I'm a member here so maybe I'm biased but this course deserves a 2014 review. Place is in great shape, the greenskeeper really knows his stuff. MCC is an old school walkable New England design with lots of elevation changes. Good greens that can be quick but never super fast, and have lots of contours. Fairways are wide, and the course can play short for long hitters but scoring is still tough. Tallwood, Blackledge, Topstone, Tunxis, Gillette ridge, Twin Hills, and the rest...in this area fall well short in comparison. Top 10 public course in the state no doubt.
Richmond, Va.
Like a lot of Tilly courses, Belmont, despite a length of just 6,258 yards, still stands the test of time according to 0-to-4-handicapper Mark6560542:
This Tillinghast/Ross course is a classic old design course. It was the site of the 1949 PGA, the only major played in Virginia. The price is a bargain, $30 on weekends, and the course condition is decent, fast greens and sand in the bunkers. Every serious golfer passing through the area should play this course. My daughter, a Div collegiate player, and I, both scratch hdcps, had a blast playing this course.
Liberty, N.Y.
Once part of a renowned resort in the Catskills, the original hotel has been closed for 30 years. But the nine-hole Vista Course, designed by Tillinghast remains to complement the 18-hole Big G Course. Bej7013, a top 1000 reviewer, wrote:
One of the classic courses of the Catskills. The buildings have fallen into a state of disrepair but this course still holds a lot of the original charm. The layout is great, plenty of chances to use your full power clubs and test your putting skills.

As many readers will know, my wife is always chiding me about flashlights. She is somehow under the impression that I might have too many, until the lights go out and she asks, "Where's a flashlight?". To be sure, I keep flashlights within my reach– in my living room, bedroom, kitchen, and office. Living in the boonies does have some disadvantages; the power goes out quite often in the winter months, due to trees falling onto the power lines.
We are used to the power going out and have prepared accordingly. We have LED lanterns, and we also have a 4,000-watt generator, which rarely gets used. Most of the time, when the power goes out, it is only for four to six hours, so I don't want to crank up the generator for that, especially if the lights go out during daytime hours. If I need to find something, I'll just grab a flashlight.
We've been down this road before in several other articles about flashlights, and I believe you should buy the absolute best flashlights you can afford. There is no sense going to the local dollar-type store and buying a cheap flashlight; they will fail you. The batteries die quickly, and quite honestly they don't throw a lot of light, and the light is yellow in color, too. A quality flashlight will throw a very bright beam of white light a long, long distance.
I spent a majority of my adult life working in law enforcement, private security, K-9 patrols, private investigations, and other similar fields. Working at night or in low-light situations, you have to have a good flashlight. I still have my old Mag-Lite 3-cell (C batteries) flashlight that I used to keep in my patrol car. Back in the day, they were the flashlight to have. However, they didn't throw a beam of light very far, and as mentioned it was a yellow light. I swapped out the factory light bulb for a Krypton light bulb, and it was much better in all respects. However, it was still lacking; it was big and bulky, and the batteries didn't last all that long. On a positive note, it could be used as a striking weapon to bring a suspect into compliance when a fight broke out, so it had at least one advantage.
Blackhawk Products recently sent me their newest Legacy L-6V Night-Ops flashlight to test for our readers, and it has a lot of features in a small package. The length is only slightly over six inches, and it weighs a little more than half a pound, with the two CR123 batteries. The Legacy L-6V Night-Ops has a body made out of anodized black aluminum, which is tough stuff to be sure. The lens is tempered glass, so there are no worries about it breaking if you happen to drop it. The diameter of the body of the light is only one inch, and with the bezel– front and rear– it is 1.26 inches in diameter.
Some of the other features are the multiple position rotating switch that has a high, medium, low, strobe, and safety off positions. With many similar flashlights, you have to press through the on/off switch to get the setting you want, and quite honestly it is a little annoying with some of these flashlights to get the setting you want. The maximum lumens is 570 on high, 220 on medium, and 20 on low, with the strobe operating at the maximum lumens. Run time, and this is important to know, on high is 120 minutes. That's two full hours.
The on/off recessed rubber button is in the butt of the flashlight and is easy to operate one-handed. A simple push on the button turns the light on to the setting you placed it in on the rear rotating bezel. The bezel is clearly marked, so you can select the setting you need. I also like that the front and rear bezel has flat sides, so when you set the flashlight down it won't roll away on you. That's nice, very nice! This light is also compatible with the Offset flashlight rail mount, which is sold separately from Blackhawk, so you can mount it on a rifle. The rubber on/off button also has a momentary setting; a light touch will turn the light on momentarily or press it harder and the light stays on. The on/off rubber switch is recessed, so there are no worries about the light turning on accidentally, and the entire unit is waterproof, too.
Blackhawk also sent a ballistic nylon holster for this light, and it will easily attach to your military/police tactical vest or you can carry it on your belt, if you prefer. While you can slide this flashlight in your pants pocket, it isn't the way to carry it.
Living out in the country, way out in the country, we have no street lights; I like it this way. However, when we hear something that goes "bump" in the middle of the night, I reach for a flashlight before I open the front door. We also have several German Shepherds, and they are one of our early warning alarms. We have a huge front yard, and I need a flashlight that will penetrate the darkness and throw a bright light a long distance. The Legacy L-6V Night Ops gets the job done with the high setting of 570-lumens; it will light up my entire front yard all at once. Now, the only downside to this flashlight, as far as I'm concerned, is that the front bezel can't be focused so I can concentrate the light into one smaller area. This is not a deal-breaker to me, but the more super-bright light I can shed on a particular area the better it is.
I haven't actually measured the distance that the super-bright light is effective to reach, but it can easily shed light out to a couple hundred yards at night. Some similar flashlights will state that the light is effective out to 600 yards, but that's hogwash, if you ask me. However, hype sells products.
I have several flashlights on the end table, on my end of the sofa. They all get used, all of the time. However, when I need to look outside my front door at night, I'll reach for this Blackhawk flashlight. I like the strobe feature, too. It can momentarily disorient and blind an attacker, giving you time to react to the situation at hand.
Over the years, when working in public or private law enforcement, much of the time you are working at night. In my case, I worked alone most of the time. Without a doubt, you absolutely must have the best flashlight you can have. Many times, I had to clear a building, usually by myself, and I had to have a good flashlight. I made do with the Mag-Lite I had. It was better than most flashlights. However, today, there is no need to settle for lesser flashlights, especially when working in dangerous situations at night, when you want to identify a suspect. As to the CR123 batteries this flashlight uses, "Yes", they are quite a bit more expensive than AA or AAA batteries that similar tactical flashlight take. However, the upside is that the CR123 batteries last longer, and I believe they give you a brighter light, too. Whenever I see CR123 batteries on sale, I'll purchase half a dozen or even a dozen to have on hand. So, don't let the price of the CR123 batteries scare you away. They do the job.
Quality never comes cheap, and when you buy quality it lasts and lasts. Buy cheap, and you will be buying cheap all of the time. The full retail on the Legacy flashlight is $122.95, and don't forget to also purchase that ballistic Nylon holster for it, too. Blackhawk also has several other models of tactical flashlights. Be sure to check them out. I'm sure you'll find one or two to fill your needs.

New site Side Taker gives you the public's perspective on your fights
Growing up, I was always told that airing your dirty laundry in public was a bad thing, but that was before the Internet brought us blogging, podcasts and forums where we all give away all kinds of details about our lives.
I guess Side Taker was the logical next step: it's a site where couples give both sides of an argument (anonymously, so that's something) and the public gets to chime in. Why anyone would want to bare their relationship ups and downs for others to comment on is a mystery to me (but then I've written about books I like online and been savaged for it).
It's cheaper than therapy though, I guess...

Dave Ramsey 2019 Investment Outlook
You've heard me say it: Investing is a key part of your wealth-building machine. I want you to develop a winning game plan to reach your financial goals, and that includes staying informed about the economy and other yearly investing trends.
Now, before we take a look at what could be in store for 2019, hear me say this: No one can predict exactly what the economy will do this year. There's no magic crystal ball or formula out there that can tell us what's going to happen with absolute certainty. That's the honest truth, even if many investing "experts" and talking heads aren't willing to say it.
However, there are some economic indicators that can give us hints about what might happen in the stock market. But you've got to remember, these are just pieces of information—statistics and trends.
You'll be able to Save more for Retirement in 2019
First, I know all the cable news networks and major newspapers are filled with gloom and doom nowadays, but there is a bit of good news that might've slipped through the cracks of the news cycle: You'll be able to save more for retirement in 2019!
How? Here's what you need to know for this year:
- The IRS is raising the annual contribution limits for employer-sponsored retirement plans to $19,000 (up from $18,500). This includes folks who contribute to a 401(k), 403(b), most 457 plans and the federal government's Thrift Savings Plan.
- The annual limit for IRAs is also getting bumped to $6,000 (up from $5,500). And if you're age 50 or older, the catch-up contribution limit will remain at $1,000, so you can put up to $7,000 into a traditional or Roth IRA if you've fallen behind on your retirement savings.(1)
If you can contribute up to the limit, that's awesome!
No matter what's happening in the economy, I recommend investing 15% of your income for retirement. If you're ready to invest, that's a good overall goal to shoot for in 2019.
What are Economic Indicators?
Now, let's take a look at some of this year's economic indicators. But wait—what are economic indicators? They're statistics that give us insight into future trends in the economy.
Think of these economic indicators as thermometers. To a certain extent, they help us keep an eye on the temperature of the overall economy.
Sometimes they can show us if it looks like certain parts of the economy are heating up or on the verge of cooling down.
Here are five of the major economic indicators we're going to watch in 2019:
- Unemployment Rate
- Interest Rates
- Consumer Confidence
- Stock Market
- Housing Market
Let's take a look at these indicators and find out what they could mean for you and your money this year.
1. Unemployment Rate
You're probably familiar with this one. The unemployment rate simply tells us how many people got (or lost) a job. It's one of the clearest ways to see which way the economy is moving. Rising unemployment numbers are scary. They mean fewer jobs and an economy in serious trouble. Lower unemployment rates mean more people are finding work and an economy that's getting stronger.
In 2018, the unemployment rate dropped again as part of a trend that began nine years ago when the country began to recover from the Great Recession.(2) That's good news!
The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that the unemployment rate fell to 3.7% in October 2018—the lowest level since 1969.(3) The Federal Open Market Committee believes that rate will drop even further this year, down to 3.5% by the end of 2019.(4)
So what does all that mean for your investments? Well, if companies are hiring, that usually means they're growing. As their fortunes improve, yours can too, especially if you're investing in those companies through mutual funds in your 401(k) and IRA.
2. Interest Rates
Now, sometimes strong economic numbers are too much of a good thing and people start to worry about inflation. Inflation increases the prices of the things we buy every day (like gasoline or milk) and reduces the purchasing power of the dollars we use to buy them.
To keep the economy from overheating, the Federal Reserve could try to cool things down by raising interest rates. And that's just what economists expect the Fed to do several times this year to prevent people from borrowing too much money.(5)
That means anyone looking to get a car loan (don't do that) or a home equity loan (don't do that either) will pay more in interest. And interest rates for home mortgages will also be higher for home buyers in 2019–around 5% for a 30-year mortgage and 4.4% for a 15-year mortgage, which is the only mortgage I recommend.(6)
But if you're a saver, the higher interest rates are great news since you'll likely start earning a little more on your money market accounts.
At the end of the day, though, nobody really knows for sure how things will shake out because so many components go into forming the interest rate. To stay informed, you'll want to keep an eye on what the Fed is doing throughout the year.
3. Consumer Confidence
You can usually tell when someone feels confident. They walk with their head held high, they puff out their chest, and they have a swagger in their step. They also tend to spend more and save less! Well, that last part is what the Consumer Confidence Index says, at least.
The Consumer Confidence Index measures how everyday Americans feel about the economy. When people are confident, they typically spend more money. When their confidence is low, they do the opposite. And right now, folks are feeling pretty good about the economy!
In fact, the Conference Board's Survey of Consumer Confidence hit an 18-year high last October with more folks planning to buy a home or a car in the next few months.(7) While many experts predict the growth of the economy to slow down somewhat this year, consumer confidence should remain pretty high as wages continue to rise and unemployment remains low.(8)
Now, why does this matter to you? Because when you feel good about the economy, you might be tempted to increase your lifestyle spending instead of sticking to your retirement savings plan. But you need to stay focused and keep saving, people—even when your salary gets a bump!
4. Stock Market
The stock market works the same way your favorite supermarket does. The only difference is you're buying stocks instead of strawberries!
The stock market is made up of different exchanges where people buy and sell stocks—which are basically small pieces of ownership in a company. If the stock market is like the supermarket where you buy and sell stuff, then the exchanges are the different aisles and sections inside the store—like the deli or bakery.
The S&P (Standard & Poor's) 500 Index measures the performance of the 500 largest, most stable companies in the New York Stock Exchange. The S&P 500 is often considered the most accurate measure of the stock market as a whole. When the index increases, the economy is usually doing well. Make sense?
After a bumpy finish for the stock market in 2018, early estimates for the S&P 500 in 2019 are all over the map. Some Wall Street strategists predict modest gains as economic growth starts to slow down while others are more optimistic about the possibility the S&P 500 will continue to grow rapidly.(9)
Here's an important word of caution: When your investments are doing well, you may be tempted to sell them for some quick cash. Or, if the stock market tanks, you might panic and want to cash out everything to keep from "losing money." But stock market investing, even through mutual funds, is like riding a roller coaster. Once the ride gets going, you don't want to jump off.
Don't touch your investments until retirement! If you want to reallocate them to different types of investments, talk to your financial advisor. Otherwise, leave them alone, people!
5. Housing Market
Okay, even though the economy has been roaring, the housing market seems to be in the middle of a yawn. With home prices climbing and interest rates rising in 2018, existing home sales fell to their lowest level in three years last year(10) and dropped around 3% from 2017.(11) That just means the "seller's market" we've been experiencing over the past several years is about to settle down a little.
According to the National Association of Realtors, sales numbers are expected to stabilize in 2019 with a slight increase from last year.(12) Home prices in the U.S. will continue to rise, but at a slower rate than in years past—around 2%.(13)
So, whether you're buying or selling a home in 2019, you'll probably need to adjust your expectations. Home sellers might see a bit more competition from other folks trying to sell their homes and shrinking demand from wary buyers. Meanwhile, purchasing a home is going to be more expensive as mortgage rates and home prices continue to rise.
If you're interested in buying or selling a home in 2019, get in touch with one of our trusted real estate professionals. They'll walk you through the market and tell you what to expect in your area.
Remember the Big Picture
No matter what happens in 2019, don't forget about the big picture! It's good to be informed, but if you try to keep your eyes glued to each twist and turn in the market, you'll live in panic mode. You'll never be able to relax and leave your investments alone.
Remember, investing works best if you sit back and let time and compound interest do their thing. Trying to time the market is a fool's game. You have to keep a big-picture perspective!

Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up with the training and instruction of the Lord. Ephesians 6:4
I recently wrote this letter to my daughter on the occasion of her eighth grade graduation. She received it at her class retreat with other beautiful letters from her mom, grandparents, aunts and special friends. I asked her permission to share it with our CatholicMom family hoping to inspire other fathers to prayerfully reflect on the gift of our children that they would lovingly affirm them as beautiful sons and daughters of a most amazing God!
My Dearest Daughter,
I Love You…
You are a most precious and extraordinary young woman.
You are a well spring of love, joy, laughter, warmth, comfort and inspiration to everyone in your life.
You are growing as a leader and with genuine leadership will always come much responsibility. Always strive to set the example by exceeding the standards.

Rap mogul Jay-Z is looking to get Brooklyn Nets fans familiar with his 40/40 Club franchise by announcing plans to open the popular sports venue at his team's Barclays Center this fall.
Jay revealed the move and explained his motivation for opening a new 40/40 Club at the new arena this week.
The 40/40 Club will open its new location at the Barclays Center, the new sports and entertainment venue and home to the Brooklyn Nets. The $1 billion arena will house the 9,000 square-foot restaurant slated to debut on the arena's opening night when Jay-Z performs in concert on September 28, 2012. "There is no better home for another 40/40 Club location than the new Barclays Center in Brooklyn," stated Jay-Z. "The 40/40 Club has revolutionized restaurants in a way I anticipate Barclays Center to transform the arena watching experience." (Inside Hoops)
Earlier this week, Jay's new role at the Barclay Center came to light.
The new title emerged in papers filed by arena developer Forest City Ratner Cos. in its bid to secure a liquor license for the future home of the Brooklyn Nets. He's already helped the Nets design the team's Brooklyn logos and its yet-to-be-released jerseys. And he was especially hands-on in designing 11 luxury arena suites called "The Vault." For the suites — which run $550,000 each — Jay-Z's fingerprints are everywhere. He even helped choose the high-end forks, napkins and champagne that will be served. Arena brass declined to comment on whether he has any interest in the arena. Jay-Z is listed as an arena director along with Forest City CEO Bruce Ratner, David Berliner, Mary Anne Gilmartin, Christophe Charlier, Irina Pavlova and David Carlock. (New York Post)
Recently, Jigga explained his influence in designing the Nets' new logo.
With this new Nets move, Jay-Z and Nets brass looked to the past in order to ensure the team's place in the future. Vintage New York transit system signage served as their chief inspiration. "It was really a take off the old subway signs, if you look at the old subway signs they were in black and white. It was that strong, beautiful, iconic black and white," Jay said. "I wanted to pick something that would stand the test of time and be here forever." (MTV)
The new venue news comes just days after Jay teamed up with Duracell for his 40/40 Club franchise.
Jay-Z is linking up with Duracell and Powermat to act as a spokesperson for "Wireless Power Nation," a phone charging system that will be installed on tables and bars in coffeeshops, restaurants, clubs, gyms, and public venues across the country. Currently, Jay-Z has the service available in his 40/40 Club in New York City. The revolutionary technology allows patrons to charge their phones by simply placing their cell phone or wireless device on the table. Duracell and GM have already used the technology on the Chevy Volt as well, so it is likely that consumers will see this technology in more and more cars in the near future as the technology becomes less expensive and demand increases for the convenience.

What is investor relations?
How does investor relations relate to public relations?
Investor relations (or IR) is a specific sub-discipline of public relations that revolves around how a company communicates with investors, shareholders, government authorities, and the financial community.
Unlike regular public relations practices, investor relations practices must be tightly integrated with a corporation's accounting department, legal department, and top executives such as the CEO, CFO, and COO. Investor relations also has significantly more regulatory requirements than standard public relations, owing to financial and legal requirements mandated by governments.
The purpose of investor relations is to ensure that a company's stock is being traded fairly through disclosure of key facts that allow all investors to assess whether a company is a good investment or not.
Investor relations as a formal discipline has been around as long as publicly traded companies, but became much more important in the United States in 2002. That year, Congress passed the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (also known as the Public Company Accounting Reform and Investor Protection Act) which drastically increased the reporting requirements of any company that was publicly traded on a stock market exchange. This occurred in response to a number of serious corporate scandals with shadowy accounting, shell companies, and a variety of other practices, most notably by the Enron Corporation.
Public relations teams and agencies that handle investor relations typically do tasks such as:
Investor relations teams and firms also need to be well-versed in different regulatory requirements regarding disclosure of financially-relevant events such as:
The best time to engage an investor relations firm and start to build out an investor relations team is the moment a company considers going public as a corporation with an initial public offering, or IPO. Companies shouldn't delay until the filing of an S-1 form (to register intent to go public) to start thinking about investor relations; an investor relations program should be built in lockstep with the IPO process from the start.
As companies establish and refine corporate governance around financial disclosure, investor relations teams should be codifying governance outcomes and preparing them for eventual release. When companies conduct internal financial audits, investor relations teams should be involved in the discovery process so that any unpleasant findings can be handled and disclosed in compliance with regulations. When material changes
Ultimately, investor relations is a vitally important part of a publicly-traded company's communications program, both for compliance and relationship-building purposes with the investment community. If it's well-run, not only does a company meet all regulatory requirements, it builds great relationships and trust with key financial and investment analysts.

Academic Experience
Animal Cognition, Motivational Psychology, Consciousness & Control, Cultural Psychology, Individual Differences. The exams here were very relaxed, which made the whole process of examination much less stressful.
I found that sometimes the assessment requirements were quite unclear or vague which made it hard to know what was required of me. Usually if I was very uncertain I would ask the lecturer to specify what they wanted either over an email or in person.
Personal Experience
I took the INTT Dutch course for 6 weeks, and although I developed dutch language skills, learning Dutch is not necessary in the Netherlands as majority of people speak very sufficient English.
I was able to travel on weekends to Germany and other parts of the Netherlands, as well as to Portugal, Spain, Morocco, Italy and Belgium during the semester. I learnt how to cope better with being alone often, living by myself.
I lived at Hotel Jansen, a student-type hotel out of the city. The room was warm in winter and the building was right by the forest, which allowed me to go running in a place that seemed so removed from the city. My advice would be to apply for housing in one of the lower housing brackets. I unnecessarily paid double what most other exchange students paid for the same basic facilities.
Rent: $300/week.
Transport: invest $150 in a bike and you won't have to pay for trains/busses locally.
I believe the advice given by the University of $10-15,000 for the semester is appropriate, if you live modestly. However, living in a city in Western Europe such as Amsterdam can be very expensive if you want to go out on the weekend or if you enjoy eating out. If you would like to travel (and being in Europe, you will want to), I would suggest saving as much as possible, so that you do not feel as though you missed out on anything.
Professional Development & Employability
I've gotten quite good at riding in the rain whilst trying to follow directions on my phone.
I desire to work internationally in the future, so it has been good to be surrounded by people of many nationalities in a more scientific setting than I have before experienced while overseas.
Riding through Vondelpark each day on my way to class did not get any less beautiful, even as the seasons changed.
Top Tips
Make friends, as soon and as many as you can. Don't dismiss them because they're different, be open to them and curious about how and why they are different to you. I recommend exploring parts of the Netherlands outside of Amsterdam, as this city does not represent the country, just as Sydney does not represent the whole of Australia.

Barbell, Biceps curl, Dumbbell, Forearm, Isometric exercise, Martial Arts, Physical exercise, Shoulder, Strength training
Lee's Strength Routine
Barbell Push
This exercise strengthens your arms, forearms, shoulders, biceps, lats, triceps, chest and abs. "This exercise works almost your whole body," Wong says. "It's really good; it's effective. But it is also very difficult. Although Bruce lifted a lot of weight, most people can't. I remember trying to lift what he used, and I couldn't even hold it." To begin, stand with your feet slightly wider than shoulder width. Squat, grab the barbell with an underhand grip and stand up. Keeping your elbows by your side, raise the weight straight out, hold for a second, return and repeat.
Do three sets of 8 to 12 repetitions. When you're done, do three sets of 8 to 12 reps withan overhand grip.
Punching With a Dumbbell
This exercise improves your shoulder endurance, which is vital for sparring.
"Bruce did this drill a lot." Wong says.
Hold a five-pound dumbbell in each hand, assume a fighting stance and alternate throwing punches with each hand.
"Do these moderately fast," Wong says.
To prevent an injury, however, don't throw your punches too fast. Do two to three sets, 10 to 15 reps per set.
One-Hand Dumbbell Drill
This drill strengthens your wrist, which means your punches will be stronger. Lee used this exercise to enhance his one-inch punch, Wong notes.
"When your wrist is strong, you get more power," he says. "And it's good when you're in close range because there isn't much room for your wrist to travel. This is a good drill for the one-inch punch."
To begin, stand with your feet about shoulder-width apart, and hold a five-pounddumbbell in your right hand. Keeping your arm to your side and using only your wrist,raise the dumbbell as high as you can and lower it as far as you can. Do two sets of 25 reps. When you're done, do two sets of 25 reps, moving your wristfrom side to side as far as you can.
"This is isometric training for power punching," Wong says. "It was one of Lee's favorite drills because it built speed and punching power at different ranges." To do this, you can use a jump rope, a karate belt or a strand of rope. To begin, assume a fighting stance and hold the rope in both hands. Place your left hand behind your back, wrap the other end around your shoulder and throw a short-range punch. Hold it for five seconds, extend your punch to ¾ distance, hold it for five seconds, extend it to full range and hold. For each arm, do five sets of five reps.
Board Isometrics
This drill is for leg strength and mobility.
"This exercise really puts pressure on your knees," he says. "It's intense."
To do this drill, you'll need a four- foot long board with a shoulder harness strapped in the middle. To begin, assume a fighting stance on the board and place the harness around your neck. Exerting a constant upward pressure, lean forward and then lean back.
"This drill enables you to develop explosive power and to close the gap [more
efficiently]," He says.
Do three sets of one minute. As you improve, increase your time.
Hand Isometric Drills This drill strengthens your forearms, which is great for trapping and punching. You will need the board for this exercise also. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, wrap the straps around your forearms and exert pressure upward. Do three sets of one minute. Don't rest more than one minute between sets.
Bull Worker for Punching
This drill also strengthens your punching power.
To do this drill, you'll need a Bull Worker, which you may be able to find at a sporting goods store.
Assume a fighting stance, hold the bow straps in each hand, and throw as many punches as you can, as fast as you can.
"Do these real fast, and do as many as you can," Wong says.
Do two to three sets. You can throw backfists or straight punches. This device also enables you to adjust the tension.

One final post on Bangkok before moving on to the next country! Looking back at my previous posts, I am so happy that Cin City now looks like a travel blog more than anything else. Right now I have Singapore, Krabi, and Australia in my 'blog bank' and i think i shall go with that sequence though my OCD is killing me (it says i have to post by date according to which happened first). 😯 Instead of involving you in my #firstworldpain, here's another suggestion for you the next time you visit Bangkok – Coffee Beans by Dao @ Central World (for a lovely 'Victorian' taste).
Being the young, energetic, girl power team that we are, our travel schedule is without fail more packed than a tuna can; but that doesn't mean it gets to the point where we exhaust ourselves too much. We love to enjoy life-as-it is by taking breaks in between at cosy coffee places. Normally i would have just gone for Starbucks but hey, when at Thai do as the Thais do! Coffee Beans by Dao is in no way related to Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, but i reckon you could call it "the Thai version of CBTL" (or maybe better). Did i mention that i'm incredibly proud and impressed with my best friend Ai Rene who does her homework even up to this point of getting into every single detail? Not only do we know where to go, we even know exactly where to break! 😀

Darin Sagel / Special to the Times
Robin Mastin / Special to the Times
The Log Lane Village Board of Trustees on Wednesday night gave raises to two town employees and hired a new part-time employee.
Deputy Marshal Joshua Katz received a 2 percent raise after a solid six-month evaluation from Town Marshal Darin Sagel.
The marshal pointed out that the raise amounts to 36 cents more per hour for the deputy.
But while a small raise, it did signal that the deputy has done well in his first six months serving with the Log Lane Marshal's Office.
Similarly, Town Clerk Marty Dasovich received a small raise to reflect his positive one-year evaluation from the board.
The trustees also approved hiring Austin Smith of Fort Morgan as a part-time town public works/maintenance employee.
Trustee Shawn Greenwell said he and Public Works Manager Buddy Littleton had interviewed Smith and found the job applicant to be "willing to learn" the particulars of the maintenance work he would be asked to do for the town.
The full board interviewed Smith Wednesday night before taking action to hire him. The mayor and trustees asked him about his background and why he wanted to work for the town.
Smith said he was born in Morgan County and had lived in Fort Morgan for 16 years before leaving for jobs on the East Coast and then now coming back.
As for why he wanted the Log Lane maintenance job, "I'm more of a manual labor person," Smith said. "Maintenance sounds like a good job, actually taking care of things and making improvements. That sounds like a good job to me."
The board approved hiring him for up to 32 hours per week at $10 per hour.
Other action
The board also:
• Approved paying for a full year's worth of the monthly costs for Caselle accounting software. That move will save the town as much as $420, or three-fourths of a monthly payment, according to Dasovich.
• Approved having either the mayor or mayor pro tem and likely one deputy marshal represent the town in the Brush Rodeo 4th of July Parade, as well as spending up to $200 on candy to hand out to kids during the parade.

What to do with those punch cards?
Every year we hand out or send out thousands if not 10's of thousands of punch cards at our festivals and with all of our online orders, but we only get a small fraction of those cards back from people who want to collect their free soap, soap bag or soap dish (just one, not all three). Occasionally people we ask us how to redeem them online. This post is meant to explain it.
If you have two punch cards that each have 3 punches on them (6 total) and you are going to purchase 4 or more full priced items ($5 or more) you are eligible for a free soap, soap bag or soap dish. Simply write VOID with a pen or marker across those two cards and take a picture of them. Send an email to email@example.com with the picture of the voided cards and let us know what you would like for your free item. Its that simple.
What if you order 10 or more full priced items ($5 or more) and you want to include your free soap, soap bag or soap dish? Even easier, just include what you would like in the notes section and we will get it for you when we send out your order.
What if I order 10 or more full priced items ($5 or more) and I don't tell you what I want? Usually we will either email you or we will guess what you want (usually what you ordered the most of) and we will include it with your order.
What if I have cards with 10+ punches on them, can I just redeem it online and have you send it to me without a purchase? Unfortunately due to the cost of shipping we only will add them on to existing online orders, but check our events calender and see when we will be close to you and stop by. We will be more than happy to give you your free item at a show without a purchase.
Updated Events Calendar – Spring 2018
We have updated our events calendar with our spring shows through May 2018. Check it out at www.arrowmattick.com/events.

MONCTON, New Brunswick (AP) — Royal Canadian Mounted Police combed the streets and woods of a normally tranquil city Thursday in search of a man who killed three officers in the deadliest attack on their ranks in nearly a decade.
The suspect, armed with high-powered long firearms, was spotted three times while eluding the massive manhunt that emptied roads and kept families hunkered in their homes in Moncton, an east coast city where gun violence is very rare.
A large number of police officers could be seen in a part of the search perimeter with their weapons drawn, some peeking around buildings. Others were patrolling streets within the cordoned off area. Armored security trucks were also visible.
Officers, including members of a tactical unit, were seen in front of one building.
Justin Bourque, 24, was seen in three different places around the search area Thursday morning, said RCMP Commander Marlene Snowman.
Police said Bourque has high powered long firearms, ammunition and other items. He was wearing military camouflage and carrying two rifles in a picture released by police on Twitter.
At one point, he was seen coming in and out of a wooded area, Snowman said.
"He's capable of moving into the wooded area and out," she said.
Investigators have not determined a motive for the shooting, which occurred Wednesday evening when three officers were killed after responding to a call about an armed man in the north end of Moncton. Two other officers were wounded.
It was the deadliest attack on the RCMP since four officers were killed by a gunman on a farm in the western Canadian province of Alberta in 2005. That attack remains the deadliest on Canadian police officers in 120 years.
Snowman said Bourque was not known to police.
"Quite honestly I don't know where he is at this time," RCMP Commanding Officer Roger Brown said.
Police officers from across the country have been brought in to help arrest the suspect, Brown said.
Schools and government offices were closed, and the city pulled its buses off the roads. Mail delivery was suspended.
Police have commandeered armored trucks and told residents to stay indoors.
Brown said two officers underwent surgery for non-life threatening wounds in hospital Thursday and he met with the families of the officers who were shot.
"The RCMP family is hurting. As is Moncton, New Brunwick and our country," Brown said.
The homicides were the first this year in Moncton, a city of 69,000 people about 180 miles (290 kilometers) east of the Maine border. RCMP Const. Damien Theriault said the city had no homicides last year.
"We have been blessed until this point," Theriault told The Associated Press.
Police released a map of a large portion of the northwest section of the city, including a heavily wooded area, where they wanted people to remain inside with their doors locked. Families hunkered down in their basements.
Walmart Canada said Bourque worked at Walmart in Moncton four years ago, but said he has not worked for them since 2010.
Daniel St. Louis, a commercial photographer, said he came upon the scene around 8:30 p.m. and saw two police vehicles on different streets with blood inside.
One of the vehicles, a marked police cruiser, was surrounded by shattered glass. The other, an unmarked SUV with its lights still on and the driver's side door left open, had several bullet holes through its front windshield.
"I walked over and I saw two feet, facing the street, toes up," said St. Louis, 51. "I realized, 'Oh my God. There's somebody down.' As I got close, I realized it was an officer and this is not a good situation."
St. Louis said he doesn't know what to make of the tragedy.
"Our quiet little city, what is going on here?" he said. "How is this happening to us? It always happens to somebody else."
Danny Leblanc, 42, said he saw the shooter in the distance Wednesday evening, wearing a camouflage outfit and standing in the middle of the street with his gun pointed at police cars.
The construction worker said he believed it was an RCMP officer until he heard a burst of gunfire coming from the man's gun.
He said he quickly retreated into his home and remained there with his family. At one point a neighbor posted on social media that their kitchen window was shattered by gunfire.
Leblanc said few people on his normally quiet street were sleeping as they awaited word at midnight on whether an arrest had been made.
Such violence is rare in Canada, particularly on the east coast.
The three officers were the first Canadian police killed the line of duty since March 2013, when a Kativik police force officer in northern Quebec was shot after responding to a domestic violence call.
Based on information from the RCMP's Honour Roll page on its website, the last Mountie to die from a gunshot was Const. Douglas Scott on Nov. 5, 2007. He was shot while responding to a call for help involving an impaired driver at Kimmirut, Nunavut.
In 1974, two Moncton cops were kidnapped, shot and killed after making a traffic stop.
Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper, in Brussels for a meeting of the G-7 group of nations, offered his condolences to the families, colleagues and friends of those affected by the shootings.
Hunt on for Canadian suspected in police killings

- Recommend actions to streamline siting and permitting processes applicable to electric transmission facilities, including balancing of environmental, land use and community effects with transmission project costs and schedule risks;
- Examination of the advantages and disadvantages of a state-wide transmission siting and permitting framework for electric transmission facilities; and
- An examination of the political acceptability of and potential strategies for, creating a state-level siting entity.

Well done to Kildangan Under 13s who emerged winners of a pulsating league semi final against Allenwood this morning. The final score was 6-08 to 6-03 in favour of Kildangan.
There was never more than a score or two between the teams, Allenwood always looking dangerous on the break as they worked the overlap very well, a couple of close in goal shots went wide or out for a '45 when a point would have been a better option. Kildangan, made much better use of their limited possession and took some superb scores including a couple of cracking goals.
Kildangan will play St Kevins in the final next weekend, venue and time will be announced later.

OUAS which is great because I love working from sketches. Here is my solution to Case #38 - I thought the colours were purr-fectly suited to show off one of the many photos I took of my old mate Archie
My Evidence: Birds - canoodling on the top right corner of the photo mount; Flowers - some handmade, some scrunched and coloured with Glimmer Mists, some fussy cut from pp, one chipboard coloured with Distress Stain in Picket Fence then finished with a button tied with twine, some tiny ones embellished with seed beads, and the big one is only slightly distressed and finished with a bottle top centre; Newsprint - stamped behind the photo; China - broken plate created by stamping onto card, cutting into shards, then coating with Glossy Accents; Misting - several shades applied through a flourish mask; Woodgrain - the brackets and flower centre were die cut from woodgrain pp.
My Testimony: I documented a pet - my best mate Archie.
Well I'm going to send this off to CSI now - have a look for yourself at all the amazing scrap art.
Cherry-ho for now

How to create your best elevator pitch March 13, 2015Posted by Mike Gospe in Messaging.

The "message box" technique is a fun, fast way to create a compelling elevator pitch for your new product or service. For the month of March, this new online course is available for free.

A friend of mine has come up with "the alternative to the business class upgrade." This is exciting to me because I can't afford business class, and I get jetlag even when I travel north and south! Ted and his team of travel enthusiasts have developed a 100% natural jetlag remedy. He and I recently got together to draft the pillar components of his marketing strategy, namely a persona, a positioning statement, and a "message box".
If you're a frequent flyer or just an occasional puddle jumper, I'd love to get your input.
1. The Persona
The persona is a fictional representation of a set of real people who share similar traits or experiences. In this case, Ted is interested in understanding the perspective of the frequent flyer business executive — who they are, what they care about, etc. After interviewing a few folks, reminiscing about our own travel experiences, we jotted down the following in the persona template on the left.
With a keen sketch of our target audience in mind, we next rallied for a core positioning statement that would focus our attention on the benefits they find most valuable. We used a common positioning statement template illustrated here.
3. The Message Box
The Message Box is the best technique I know to craft a concise "elevator pitch" using language the buyer will understand. I'll post a separate article on Message Box uses and best practices. For now, here's the primer for reading the adjacent slide:
In the center of the Message Box is the product being promoted. The "elevator pitch" is comprised of four messages that build off one another, and they are numbered 1, 2, 3, 4.
- Message 1 is known as the "engagement message". A hook — usually expressed as a problem or opportunity – designed to literally engage the target audience in a dialog. This statement must be simple, yet relevant and clear.
- Message 2 is the "solution message". This message suggests a criteria that must be met to address the problem or opportunity shown in the engagement message.
- Message 3 is called the "reinforcement message". Then, and only then, do we introduce our product by name. Whereas the engagement and solution messages are about the buyer, reinforcement is about our product and how it is the best option for satisfying the conditions stated in the solution message.
- Message 4 is all about "value". Literally, this message is designed to show how life will be better than before by using the product. It's benefit focused.
All four messages form the 30-second "elevator pitch".
Tell us what you think
Ted and I want your input and feedback. Have we painted a clear enough picture of the frequent flyer? Is the positioning statement properly focused? Does the Message Box ring true?

12 Months of Karis Joy!!
One year ago yesterday I gave birth to my precious little baby girl! I can hardly believe she is already ONE! If I had to describe Karis in five words they would be… beautiful, joyful, dramatic, content yet determined! She is all over the place and on the verge of walking. She is pushing the laundry basket and a little push toy all over the house now in effort to keep up with her brother! She loves to play chase with mommy. Most days she is a pretty good little eater and her favorite food right now is pasta with spaghetti sauce… I'm not even sure she takes time to chew it! She is really into books right now and will sit and read them over and over even by herself. She is quite the expressive little girl and can say bye-bye, hi, (both of those sound like ba-ba and ha almost like she has a little southern accent) uh-oh (her favorite word), da-da, a-dun (for all done) boo for moo like a cow, and of course she can growl like a tiger like her brother. Her sign language has really picked up and she has learned a lot from Liam. She can sign dad/mom, eat, drink, more, all done, please, bath, ball, milk, help, shoes, strong, music, toothbrush, elephant, sleep, book, hat, dog, baby, moon, horse and flower. I'm very thankful that she is pretty content to play with toys by herself, but when there is something she wants she certainly lets me know! I am discipling her already for several reasons one being that she does not like laying down to get her diaper changed and she kicks and fusses. When I discipline her she acts like that was the worst moment of her life (which for her it probably is), so I'm constantly praying for patience! I know when Karis gets tired because she either becomes cranky or very slap happy… love those slap happy moments! Here is an example of one of those moments – <a href="">. She has the greatest belly laugh and I can't get enough of it! As far as sleep, she gets about 11 hours at night and 2 during the day, so not completely ideal but it seems to be enough for her. She still gets up and cries for a few minutes every other night or so, but usually goes back to sleep unless she's teething and then it's usually at least an hour!! Regardless of her night sleep she seems to wake up happy about life. Whenever I pick her up from the nursery at church they always say how good Karis is and how content she is to just play! We are getting her dedicated at our church on Sunday and have chosen this verse for her:
"For the Lord your God is living among you. He is a mighty savior. He will take delight in you with gladness. With his love, he will calm all your fears. He will rejoice over you with joyful songs." Zephaniah 3:17
Thank you Lord for the unexpected and completely precious gift in Karis Joy!!
Enjoy these pictures of Karis from this past year of her life!
The night before she was born!
