I wanted to put together a recipe for simple baked chicken that was easy to make. This recipe is EASY and delicious and uses ingredients easily found. My husband and daughter loved this chicken so I think it should be good for a quick dinner for your family.
chicken drumsticks
Cavender's Greek Seasoning
Italian Seasoning
freshly Ground Pepper
smoked Paprika
1. Lay out the chicken drumsticks on a baking sheet or glass baking dish covered with foil (for easy cleanup).
2. Sprinkle the chicken drumsticks on all sides generously with Cavender's Greek Seasoning, Italian Seasoning, and freshly ground pepper.
3. Take small pinches of smoked paprika and sprinkle sparingly on the chicken drumsticks on all sides.
4. Lightly salt the chicken. Do not over salt.
5. Bake the chicken (do it in a convection oven if you have one) at 375 degrees for 45 minutes. Rotate the chicken drumsticks so that the other side is facing up. Sprinkle again with Cavendar's Greek Seasoning and Italian Seasoning. Continue baking the chicken at 375 degrees for another 15 minutes.

After his father (Tom Wilkinson) dies, Britt meets Kato (Jay Chou), a resourceful company employee.

The mission of the Henry Purcell Society of Boston is to present historically informed, vibrant performances of the works of Henry Purcell and his contemporaries. We foster collaborations with other arts organizations to perform the full breadth of Purcell's compositions: the incidental theater music, operas and semi- operas (in entertaining realizations of the plays for which they were written), odes, symphony songs written for the Royal Court, sacred and secular songs for vocal solo and ensemble voice, and instrumental music. We will also educate audience members on the conventions and style of the English Baroque though our concerts, concert notes and website information.
The Henry Purcell Society of Boston incorporated in 2013, and was granted full 501(C)(3) non- profit status in 2014. In its first critical review, the Boston Musical Intelligencer hailed the Henry Purcell Society of Boston as having "presented a smash-bang debut" of "Welcome to all the Pleasures" to a "packed house." Since then, the HPSOB has successfully collaborated with local performing arts organizations, fulfilling its mission of performing the full breadth of Purcell's compositions. With top musicians, new supporters and audiences invigorated by the music of Britain's greatest composer, the Henry Purcell Society of Boston looks ahead to a vibrant future full of music celebrating the English Baroque!
Backstory: When Jessica Cooper gave the famous air, "When I am laid in earth..." the haunting lament from Henry Purcell's Dido and Aeneas to a young soprano, the student lit up with excitement. Joking that her uncle Bill loved the composer so much that he preferred to display a painted portrait of the composer in his foyer rather than photos of his own family (see above), she offered to introduce the two to see about producing a single concert. A lively conversation ensued over the next several weeks between Jessica Cooper, Emily and William Chapman. A few months later, they united to produce a concert dedicated solely to the music of Henry Purcell. Thus the mission of the Henry Purcell Society of Boston took wing, and was made into an LLC.

Michael Okwo went to the movies over the weekend after the Cardinal's 36-10 loss to Washington State. He wore his Stanford football sweats, which -- along with his football player's build -- distinguished the Cardinal linebacker in the theater crowd.
He struck up a brief conversation with a couple of strangers. One of them asked him about the remodel of Stanford Stadium.
"I told him, 'It looks good, you should come check it out'," Okwo said. "And he said, 'Maybe.' It's a slap in the face a little bit, but what can you say? If we're not bringing 'em here, we've got to make them come somehow."
Okwo couldn't find the words for the sight of a half-empty Stanford Stadium on Saturday, nearly completely empty by the time the Cardinal dropped to 0-4 with the loss to the Cougars. Asked whether that seemed like a slap in the face as well, Okwo took a deep breath and simply nodded.
Classes are in session at Stanford and Okwo acknowledged that he and his teammates aren't going to be able to stay insulated from criticism and disappointment on campus about the team's poor start.
"When you hear whispers around like, 'What's going on with the football team?' it really inspires the players to work harder, to take it to heart a little bit more," Okwo said. "It's good to be out there and hear and experience what people have to say. You hear things, and as much as it hurts, it's fuel to the fire."
Okwo is doing everything he can to help the Cardinal turn around this season. And that is no overstatement. Okwo, a senior, finished the Washington State game with a career-high 15 tackles. And two weeks after returning to the team after being sidelined with a broken right thumb, he played every defensive snap -- more than 80 in the game. He had not done that before in his Stanford career.
"I was definitely worn out," said Okwo, who also had 10 tackles in his first game of the season against Navy. "I'll do what it takes to be out there. In the second quarter, I was pretty exhausted and we had a lot of subs going in at the other linebacker position, and I just remember thinking that I needed to stay in this game. When your back is against the wall, you've just got to keep fighting."
Okwo was an All-Pac-10 performer on special teams in 2004, then had his playing time limited last season because of injury. Okwo broke his right thumb in Stanford's first scrimmage in August and sat out the first two games.
His return to a struggling, young defensive unit has been a great relief to coach Walt Harris.
"What Mike Okwo can do and did do, he has some real gifts," Harris said. "Just him being back in the lineup, you saw how explosively quick he is and how he gets all over the field. We have to try to help him a little bit more. We have to get him out of there. He's not in near as good a football shape as other people because he's been out.
"But he played a magnificent game. He has some superlative talent that he showed. We have to keep getting better around him and I think that will make our defense a lot better."
Okwo, a Redondo Beach native who attended Mira Costa High, would very much like to go home to Southern California and get a win against UCLA on Saturday night. Okwo said he strongly considered going to UCLA before choosing Stanford.
"I'm 0-3 at home. The last four games I've played in L.A. I've lost -- that goes back from high school when we lost the city championship game -- and it would be a great feeling to walk away from UCLA with a win to close out my career," Okwo said. "Knowing the guys I grew up with, played with in all-stars and high school, it would be nice to get the last laugh."
Injury update: Senior cornerback Brandon Harrison, who injured his right ankle and knee against Washington State, is questionable for Saturday's game, according to Harris. Harrison left in the first quarter against the Cougars, and returned for a few second-half snaps before heading back to the sideline.
Senior wide receiver Marcus McCutcheon, who sustained a knee injury in the season opener at Oregon, will begin to practice this week. Harris said he's not sure whether McCutcheon will be ready to play Saturday.

There is no hotter trend in kids toys than fidget spinners. Period. Also referred to as hand spinners, these tiny little gadgets are huge right now. Kids love them and teachers hate them (because they can be distracting), but there's pretty much no escaping them at this point. Of course, fidget spinners can also be pretty expensive if you buy them in brick and mortar stores, since retailers are doing everything they can to capitalize on the craze.
If you have tons of expendable income and you want to dump it all into fidget spinners, then by all means go ahead and buy them in stores. If you'd rather save a ton of cash so you don't have to go broke buying a bunch of hand spinners for your children, you've come to the right place.
Below, you'll find some of the most popular fidget spinners on Amazon — and prices start at just $2. You can also browse Amazon's entire collection of fidget spinners right here.
If you're on the lookout for some hot new fidget toys for yourself or your child, you've come to the right place. We've got 10 popular options on Amazon for you laid out in this post, or you can check out Amazon's entire collection right here.
Lastly, here's a quick video that will show you some of the fun tricks people do with fidget spinners:

Initial coin offering refers to the fundraising activities for entrepreneurial purposes by issuing the cryptocurrencies and/or tokens based on the blockchain technology.
In other words, an ICO has a similar function with an initial public offering in the crypto world.
Ever since the ICO in 2013, in which Mastercoin raised 5,000 Bitcoin, equivalent to $230,000, the ICO market has rapidly expanded with total value of $250 million raised in 2016. However, after almost half of the Ethereum coins raised through the "Dao project" — one of the most successful ICOs in 2016 — was stolen due to security vulnerabilities, the need for the heightened regulation on ICO has been increased.
|Lee Ji-min (left) and Cho Jae-ryun
Accordingly, US Securities and Exchange Commission announced that the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 would apply to the tokens found as securities under "Howey Test."
In response to the stringent regulations on ICOs in US, a significant number of ICO projects skipped the US and instead chose another jurisdiction for executing ICOs. And accordingly, the number of ICOs conducted in US significantly declined.
Along with the US, Britain and Germany also expanded the scrutiny to the companies conducting ICOs.
As the US and other EU countries lost their edge in the ICO business, Switzerland with its favorable environment for ICO projects emerged as a new ICO destination. In response to a sharp increase in the number of ICOs executed in Switzerland, the Financial Market Supervisory Authority published the "Guideline for enquiries regarding the regulatory framework for initial coin offerings (ICOs)" in February 2018.
According to the FINMA's Guideline, depending on the function and transferability of tokens issued by the ICO organizer, FINMA categorizes tokens into three types: (i) payment tokens; (ii) utility tokens; and (iii) asset tokens, and applies the different regulations, respectively. Due to its lenient regulations and transparency, Switzerland notched up $640 million out of $3.5 billion global ICO proceeds in the first three quarters of 2017 and dominated the league tables for ICO projects.
While most Asian countries previously had no special regulations on ICOs, the governments realized the need for regulatory schemes on ICOs as the cryptocurrency market grew explosively.
China, one of the largest mining countries in the world, announced a total ban on ICOs in September 2017 and made all fundraising activities through ICOs illegal. Upon the surge in cryptocurrency transactions in mid-2017, the Financial Supervisory Service of South Korea ultimately banned raising money through ICOs for all types of cryptocurrencies, but without any valid legal basis.
On the contrary, Singapore had virtually no regulation on ICOs until 2016, but, at the end of 2017, the Monetary Authority of Singapore established a regulatory sandbox and allowed the ICOs with certain features. Specifically, MAS resolved the uncertainties in its regulations on ICOs by allowing an ICO where the issuing company does not distribute its financial performance without any financial regulations applied. It alsoo allowed an ICO where the issuing company distributes its economic performance only if said issuing company complies with the any relevant regulations as conducting an IPO.
As MAS has clarified the target of its ICO regulations, the cryptocurrency developers and venture capitalists interested in ICOs have gathered in Singapore, which is geographically, culturally and linguistically convenient and has relatively lenient financial regulations.
Accordingly, Singapore has become the leading offshore jurisdiction for ICO projects, together with Cayman Island and British Virgin Island.
Along with the cryptocurrency developments, the legal, accounting, and tax consulting industries for ICOs have also expanded in Singapore. Singapore has seen a cluster effect as a new hub for fintech through expansion of ICOs by creating fintech-related jobs and diversifying the economy.
As Singapore has become a new center of ICOs, a number of cryptocurrency developers in Korea have also moved to Singapore and currently carry out various cryptocurrency projects.
Indeed, major IT companies in Korea have established companies engaged in cryptocurrency- or blockchain-related business and more than 100 venture companies related to cryptocurrencies are currently active in Singapore as of today. As a result, the Korean government is facing criticism that its ban on ICOs and overreach regulations have caused national wealth to flow out of the country and hindered the development of blockchain technology in Korea.
Of course, the clear, proper regulations are necessary as various social problems have arisen in related to ICOs, shown as (i) 10 percent of total funds raised through ICOs in 2017 (equivalent to $400 million) was stolen by hacking; (ii) the success rate of ICOs remained only 25 percent; and (iii) ICOs have been abused in various fraudulent schemes.
Still, the strict regulation of or total ban on ICOs are not the only solutions.
Taking a lesson from how Singapore has become one of the world's top blockchain and fintech hubs by allowing healthy ICOs while regulating Ponzi-type ICOs through the regulatory sandbox, Korean government also needs to be proactive in attracting a number of promising ICO projects.
Korean financial regulatory authorities must allow healthy ICOs that are firmly based on blockchain technology and, under such a policy, South Korea, an IT powerhouse in Asia, will serve as a new hub for blockchain and fintech.

Register ~ FREE Resume Clinic in Cleveland ~ March 2
~ More great resources in keeping with Nanci's book Fresh Hope … Cleveland
FREE Resume Review Clinic on March 2, 2013
Is your resume getting results?
REGISTER now to have your resume reviewed by a professional.
What: Chagrin Valley Job Seekers (CVJS) Resume Review Clinic
When: Saturday, March 2nd
Time: 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM (you will be assigned a specific time slot)
Where: Pioneer Memorial Presbyterian Church (same place as the CVJS meetings.)
Send an e-mail to Greg Reynolds at email@example.com with Resume Review Clinic in the subject line.
Here are eight reasons to invest in yourself by registering for the resume review clinic:
1. You are just starting your job search and need a resume.
2. You are stuck in your job search.
3. You are currently employed, but worried your department may be reorganized or the company may be sold this year.
4. You are currently employed but underutilized and need to check out the job market.
5. You have already had your resume reviewed by a CVJS Resume Reviewer.
6. You had professional assistance from a career consultant at an outplacement firm.
7. You are perfectly happy with the resume you have.
8. You are happily employed and have no intention of making a job change.
So, you may be thinking, "Okay, reasons 1 through 4 make perfect sense, but I am not so sure about 5 through 8. Why would I want to show up at the clinic if I have already had my resume reviewed by a CVJS Resume Reviewer or had professional assistance at an outplacement firm? And I can't imagine why I would go the clinic if I am perfectly happy with my current resume or my job."
Well, consider this: The volunteers who assist at the CVJS Resume Review Clinic include HR professionals, recruiters from search firms, corporate recruiters and career consultants from outplacement firms. Were you perfectly satisfied with your last job before your last job was eliminated? Wouldn't it make sense to expand your network while getting resume advice from a professional?
Remember at work and in life: It's not who you know…It's who knows you.
No job seeker should miss this free opportunity to have their resume critiqued by an expert.
You must pre-register to reserve a meeting with a resume reviewer on March 2nd.
To register, send an email to Greg Reynolds at firstname.lastname@example.com with Resume Review Clinic in the subject line. Give us your name and phone number in the body of the e-mail. Once you have registered, we will send you details of the day.
I hope this is information is helpful! Make is a great day!
God Bless You!

Dear Santa,
I've been really good this year and I do have one really important and very necessary request. Please fill my stocking with a good job – one I'll like, pays a good salary, at a place where I can contribute in a meaningful way, and some place where I'll be able to use my skills and talents. I promise I'll work hard and I won't complain. Thank you!
Signed Unemployed
P.S. I also have a request in with God.
Dear Friend,
Let's face it, the holiday season beginning at Thanksgiving on through the winter months can be tough to navigate for those getting divorced, those with illness, families helping an ill loved one, those missing loved ones, and for those unemployed. So below I've listed a link to a great website that lists some great advice for those who are job hunting this holiday. If you are unemployed, yes, you should still be searching for a job during the holiday season. Please check out the website below. Some of them share valuable information on how to change careers especially if very little hiring is being done in your area of expertise. I hope it helps you in many ways.

I was approached again earlier this year about a similar event for a different school. This time, the requester was persistent. I was hesitant again, but how could I say no to this particular fan? After consulting the teachers, we all agreed it would be an opportunity to share the artisanal, gastronomical and professional facets of wine-making and service. My groupie (daughter Montana) was elated that I would speak at her fifth-grade career day.
For weeks, I wondered about what to do. I would cover how and where wine is made, its relationship to food -- but how was I going to make it interesting to 10- and 11-year-olds? Props would be a nice touch. My collection of vineyard rocks would be a great way to explain how geology figures into the equation. Hmm, will it embarrass Montana? It might be too geeky. On second thought, if the students got the coolness factor, I might not get the rocks back.
Fast forward to the day of the event. The students had been primed in advance by the teachers. They were well-prepared and asked good questions. How did I become interested in this career and what subjects are needed to become a sommelier? We talked about developing skills in several areas including English, foreign languages, math, science such as chemistry, as well as history. I added that having a good memory was a plus. As I shared more of what I my job entailed, and some of the props I'd brought, they began to understand how all of those subjects came into play.
I commanded a few oohs and ahhs as they tried to guess how expensive a bottle of wine can be. I showed them a memento from one of the most expensive wines I've ever sold -- an empty bottle of rare French Burgundy, Domaine de la Romanee Conti, Romanee Conti, 1989, worth $17,000. Another bottle -- an 1860 madeira by Cossart Gordon -- spurred a mini history lesson in relation -- how madeira was used to celebrate the 1776 signing of the Declaration of Independence and the inauguration of President George Washington.
I even showed the students my "Tastevin," the sommelier's traditional wine-tasting cup, expecting one of them to ask me if I could rap, too. The thick metallic chain and large medallion-looking cup was reminiscent of the shiny adornments worn by many rappers in music videos. No takers there.
A favorite moment was when a student asked who invented wine. I referred to the caveman days (Paleolithic era, some 2.6 million years ago) and how they hunted and gathered food. I speculated that some unsuspecting caveman must have eaten fermented grapes and discovered its effect. Although I'm no comedian, I managed to reel them in by asking, "Do you want to know what his name was? His name was AAARGH." Yeah, I know -- but, the kids actually laughed.
To demonstrate the essence of what I do (food-and-wine pairing), I offered a sampling of minitoast with French brie cheese and julienned Fuji apples complemented by a cup of sparkling apple juice. You could see in their expressions that they got the connection.
Judging from the letters I received afterward, many of the students found my presentation interesting. I was pleased to read that Aya understood how a sommelier smells and/or tastes wine, yet does not swallow it. I was also happy Tyler will continue his path to becoming an engineer.

Mobile Phones will not be termed as SMART unless and until it does something which we want our mobile phones to do. So, is your Android mobile capable of synchronizing the Lotus e mails, calendar items, Lotus notes and also the contacts? Yes, almost all android phones are capable of synchronizing the same, but just a few tweaks and you are done with the syncing part of all these very simply. Basically, there's an application which is called as the Lotus Notes which gives access to the users. This solution is also termed as Lotus Notes traveler which includes Lotus Domino Messaging Client Access License and the Lotus Domino Enterprise Client Access License sometimes and also supports many other operating platforms like iOS, Symbian, Windows platform etc.
So, the Android users can download this software from the Passport Advantage and Partner World sites for installation onto their mobile devices for free and no other hidden charges. So, this Lotus Domino 184.108.40.206 is currently optimized for only the users who are currently having android operating system as 2.0 and above. This Lotus notes traveler comes with a great set of functionalities like these have the ability to access Notes from multiple devices running on popular mobile platforms. Also, there is no charge for the customers along with that it also comes with the ability to remotely sync email (including attachments), calendar and contact data with email encryption and also you can easily remotely wipe when your mobile gets lost.
Procedure to install Lotus Notes traveler on your Android:
- Firstly, you need to contact the domino server administrator for getting the Lotus Notes Android download link which is same as the address of the Corporate Lotus Traveler server. So, after identifying the location of the installation files, you need to follow the below steps to configure the same.
- From your Android mobile Phone, navigate to the IBM Passport Advantage Online and need to login. After logging in, you need to select an appropriate version and need to download the software.
- Enter your username, password and the Lotus Traveler server (i.e. traveler.be.ibm.com) you will be using; your corporate Lotus Domino Server administrator should be able to provide this information. Now, after this device gets registered with the server on its own and the server automatically gives the option to sync the data where you can select the data which you need to sync.
Users will also want to consider the risk of allowing confidential company information to be accessed by a mobile app that doesn't have a remote wipe facility as it can lead to the misusing of the important data.

text: In 2013, while studying abroad in South Africa, Bucknell University junior Austin Kevitch was devastated when a friend tragically died in a rock climbing accident. He was heartened, however, by the wonderful comments being posted on his friend's Facebook page. The comments inspired him and another friend to create a "compliment box" at their campus house where people could write anonymous positive messages on sticky notes to roommates and friends. Reading the notes became such a daily highlight that Kevitch decided to spread the good vibes beyond his circle of friends. His Brighten app lets users anonymously post uplifting messages and words of encouragement to people they know. Its simple mission: "to make the world a happier place by improving the way people interact and view one another."

Den 1 oktober var det den internationella Studentradiodagen (World College Radio Day) och trots att det går lite sisådär med en "government shut-down" i USA just nu skickade självaste president Barack Obama ett brev till alla oss som firade World College Radio Day igår
Obama skriver:
"I send greetings to all those participating in World College Radio Day 2013. Since its beginnings, radio has played an important role in shaping the debates of the day and in bringing us together around the stories and songs that capture our attention. And for generations now, college radio has carried this tradition forward on campuses across America and around the world. By empowering students to add their voices and opinions to the airwaves and connecting listeners to new ideas and artists, college radio fosters creativity, promotes emerging musicians, and serves as a platform for students to engage with one another. Uniting audiences across languages and borders, World College Radio Day celebrates the students who power these stations and the unique role college radio plays across the globe. As you tune in on World College Radio Day 2013, I wish you all the best."
Tack för din uppskattning Obama, vi på Studentradion 98,9 är glada att du gillar det vi gör!

With the teaser launch, we achieved more than 2 million views in 24 hours.
We created a unique a first of its kind online activity known as the #AirliftBoardingPass for the build-up of Airlift's trailer launch.
3.6 lakh fans ultimately participated in the biggest digital evacuation and got a boarding pass on their Facebook wall. This boarding pass then automatically converted to the trailer at the time of the release and they were the first to see the trailer on their wall on 2nd Jan.
We also created a #ProudtobeIndian video series where Akshay Kumar and Nimrat Kaur sent out a call to action to all the fans, asking them to share stories of Indians they knew who went above and beyond to help their fellow man.
Through us, Airlift became the first movie to collaborate with 'Being Indian' to create a video. This video was based on the movie as well as on the theme of patriotism.

Earth from Space: Marseille
This Proba image features France's oldest city, Marseille. Greek sailors from Asia Minor founded Marseille in 600 BC. When the Romans annexed it in 49 BC, trading posts were set up all along the Mediterranean Sea. The city later developed into a successful commercial port between the 15th and 19th centuries.
Marseille has a rich history as its location on the Mediterranean made it vulnerable to invasions and diseases arriving by sea. From the 5th to 8th centuries, the city faced barbarian raids and epidemics. While in 1720, the Great Plague hit Marseille and wiped out half its population.
The Vieux Port (Old Port), the U-shaped inlet seen a quarter of the way down on the left side of the mainland, is often referred to as the 'heart' of Marseille. Although no longer commercially active, the area is a popular location for restaurants and cafés with views of the sea as well as the yachts and ferries docked in the port. It is believed to be the site where the Greek sailors first landed. La Canebière, an avenue from the 17th century that stretches from the end of the Vieux Port through the city centre to the Square de Stalingrad, is also visible in the image.
In the 19th century, the cathedral of Notre-Dame (the tall whitish-coloured peak seen below the Vieux Port) was built on the highest point of the city. A nine-metre statue of the Virgin Mary tops the church. Bonne Mère (good mother), as it is called, is said to have watched over and protected anglers and sailors out at sea over the years.
Another popular attraction shown in the image is the Chateau d'If (the small island located beside the two larger islands, Le Frioul, on the left side of the image). Alexandre Dumas made the Chateau d'If internationally famous when he used it as the setting of the novel 'The Count of Monte Cristo' in 1844. Built from 1524 to 1531 as a defence against raids from sea, the Chateau later became a prison where political and religious detainees were held. At the end of the 19th century, the use of the Chateau as a prison stopped, and it was opened to the public.
ESA's Proba satellite acquired this image on 20 January 2006 with its Compact High Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (CHRIS), designed to acquire hyperspectral images with a spatial resolution of 18 metres across an area of 14 kilometres.

It has become a standard conversation, particularly when people bend my ear about investments: What exchange-traded fund (ETF) should I own? Which ETF funds are the best?
It's a funny question, since the whole point of index funds and ETFs is to do away with the notion of "best" and get people to buy plain vanilla.
Now, naturally, nobody likes to buy anything "vanilla." It's a law in marketing that your brand has to be different, flavorful, exciting…not vanilla.
So let me tell you why you want "vanilla" investments. Because they work. And because you can get all the chocolate sauce and cherries you want on top by employing simple portfolio management strategies while using them.
So, which ETF funds should everyone own? Here are some ways to comparison shop:
1. Own ETFs that track well-known indexes
You know which ones. The Dow Jones Industrial Average, the S&P 500, the Nasdaq. A few great ETFs follow "total market" strategies that cover literally thousands of stocks. Same with bond funds. Read prospectuses. If you can't find a good explanation of what the ETF tracks, stay away.
2. Use ETFs that are long only
No short ETFs, no "inverse" funds (it's the same thing) and definitely no leveraged ETFs. These are a new wrinkle in the industry, as are alternative ETFs that promise active management on top of holding an index. The problem here is increased risk without an increased return.
3. Apply a simple "fee test" as a check
The cheapest ETFs are priced around the cost of index funds. Often, there is a zero on the right side of the decimal, meaning their cost is in the hundredths of 1 percent. The cheapest right now is at 0.04%, which is crazy cheap. Even if you pay 0.15%, that's a bargain compared to the 1.27% or more some folks pay for active mutual funds.
4. Look underneath the hood
ETFs are funds. They have prospectuses. You should read them and understand how they invest. If the fund tracks an entire index at a low cost, that's the one to buy. If it attempts to do so in a tricky way that's not well explained, avoid it.
5. Commission-free is a good sign
Low fund fees are paramount, but most brokerages also offer a selection of ETFs at no trading cost. That's often a good indicator that these are the funds that they expect most retail investors to use.
ETF funds are not hard to buy or own. Deployed in a thoughtful asset allocation plan, they can give your portfolio all the power it needs to drive your investing results to the level you expect at a minimum of risk.

well der bob, although i like me some good ol fashion military press, i've got to say that the bench press is still the most quality lift. i like it because the bench press is an exercise for the upper body. For pitching purposes, it is used to stimulate the pectorals, deltoids, and triceps. The exercise focuses on the development of the pectoralis major muscle as well as other supporting muscles including the anterior deltoids, serratus anterior, coracobrachialis, scapulae fixers, trapezii, and the triceps which are vital to ones pitching mechanics and accuracy.

When I worked for a large organization we had what seemed like millions of meetings. I always viewed them as a waste of time, excruciatingly BORING and very time consuming. To me it seemed as if the big cheeses needed to substantiated whatever it was that they were doing by meeting and discussing it, at least we were all comfortable with 9 of the best office chairs for your back, that we found, even tho I had work to do.
So, in an increasingly technology connected world and global workforce it would seem that tradition meetings would be the first thing to be deemed obsolete and replaced with a more logical way of meeting. That would within a virtual world like Second Life. I have been having meeting in Second Life for over two years now and they are very effective and they allow you to multitask while meeting. Win-win!
To one up that, is there even a need for a physical office anymore? We are so global, the workforce has become virtual and computing is going to the cloud. Why not just scrap the traditional office? It would be the logical thing to do. What do you think?
As usual, I welcome thought and comments, good, bad, ugly or indifferent. So feel free to post here, grab me on Twitter or post directly on my Facebook Wall

Is ProLogis On Its Way Back?
- Jan 20, 2009
Despite the departure of its CEO, the slashing of a dividend payment, a halt to new development plans and a workforce reduction, it remains largely business as usual as industrial REIT ProLogis works to straighten out its financial situation and rework a massive maturing debt load.Denver-headquartered ProLogis, the world's largest industrial warehouse developer, remains active in the leasing business and has even been able to get its hands on hundreds of millions in financing as of late, neither of which is any small feat in today's market.The company was stung badly by the credit crunch last fall. By the time CEO & chairman Jeffrey Schwartz resigned in November, the firm's stock had plummeted some 78 percent in a month.ProLogis was far from the only struggling REIT. Long seen as a safe haven and outperforming the broader equity markets, the sector plunged in October. And industrial trusts were especially battered, losing more than 62 percent of their collective value, according to the FTSE NAREIT Equity REIT index.While shares of ProLogis remain well off their 2008 high of almost $72, they have bounced back from the low of $2.20 reached in the wake of Schwartz's departure. On Jan. 20, shares of the company's common stock opened at $12.37.However, even more heartening than the bounce in share price is the fact that ProLogis is still getting deals done—and large ones at that—under the leadership of new CEO Walter Rakowich.Just weeks after the management shake-up, the company closed on a $105 million refinancing of the Chinese tranche of its global line of credit. The very next day, the firm announced $104 million in financing from an institutional investor. That money will be used to refinance a secured debt facility that was set to mature this month and pay down a bridge loan.ProLogis got another cash infusion—to the tune of $1.3 billion—in late December, when it agreed to sell its China operations and the remaining 20 percent share of its Japanese business to GIC Real Estate, the real estate arm of the Government of Singapore Investment Corp. Rakowich characterized the deal as "a substantial step … to help Prologis de-lever its balance sheet, relieve near-term-refinancing pressure and enhance liquidity."In another effort to navigate its looming debt maturities, ProLogis took a 20 percent share of a private investment fund operated by its European subsidiary. That deal added some $61 million to the coffers of Luxembourg-based ProLogis European Properties, which has $335 million euros in CMBS debt maturing this summer.And leasing activity has anything but dried up for ProLogis. Indeed, on the very same day that Schwartz's departure was announced, the firm inked a 775,000-square-foot deal with health and hygiene product maker Kimberly-Clark Group in Chicago. Other major lease agreements that have been signed include 300,000 square feet in Memphis to Daimler Trucks, a 445,000-square-foot California deal with a food and drug retailer and a lease with Safelite AutoGlass for 282,000 square feet in Ontario, Calif.While ProLogis still faces a great deal of maturing debt, a stalled development pipeline and—perhaps most important—a still-teetering global economy, it seems as though the firm has at least taken the first steps toward an eventual recovery.

2. Apple Cider Vinegar:
2 teaspoons taken in a glass of warm water first thing in the morning. You can slowly increase the frequency to 2-3 times in a day (before meals). It is supposed to exert an anti glycemic effect and regulates insulin levels in the body.

Add I tbsp virgin coconut oil to your smoothies every morning. This helps regulate blood sugar levels and insulin secretion and reduces levels of bad cholesterol in the blood.
4. Castor Oil:
Soak a piece of flannel cloth or wool in castor oil and wring out the excess oil. Lie down and place this on your lower abdomen. Next, place a hot water bottle over this and leave for 20-30 minutes. Do this for 3 to 4 days then give a gap of the same number of days. The oil will penetrate to deeper layers of the skin and even to the organs and heal them. It enhances circulation, and lymph flow in the area. It regulates hormonal and nutrient delivery and removes toxins.
5. Evening Primrose Oil
Take one capsule from day one of your cycle till day 15. This decreases high cholesterol levels in the body and improves metabolic function. It also gives relief from symptoms that are similar to PCOS and menopause/premenstrual syndrome.
6. Green Tea:
Brew fresh green tea in hot water for 4-5 minutes and drink 2 to 3 cups every day. You can add honey to the tea. Brings down levels of androgen and reduces weight.
7. Royal Jelly:
Can be taken either by itself or mixed in with your breakfast. Supports ovarian function and exerts a strong estrogen effect.
8. Aloe Vera Juice:
Take one glass daily before breakfast. Reduces cholesterol levels and helps ovarian function.
9. Amla Juice:
Take 1/2 cup amla juice diluted with one cup water. Detoxifies, reduces cholesterol and restores hormonal balance in the body. Has anti-inflammatory effects too.
10. Palm Jaggery:
Substituting this for white sugar regulates glucose and insulin levels.
11. Cumin Seeds/Powder:
1/2 tsp in a cup of warm water twice a day. Acts as an anti-oxidant and reduces glucose levels.

A Grizzly Getaway
Happy Summer Zesters!
Kaylee here, and I'm blogging for you from Northern California in the beautiful Sierra Nevada mountains! It wasn't until a couple years ago that I could get cellphone reception out here, let alone wifi, so this whole "blogging from the middle of nowhere" thing is pretty darn advanced. Well, I suppose I'm not really in the "middle of nowhere." I am actually right outside the quaint town of Taylorsville, population: 154. Heard of it? I didn't think so… My family always jokes that when we come up here we double the size of town. Not completely true, but it's still a little funny even after all these years.
"All these years" began in 1969. My grandparents, aka "Mema and Grandpa," were teachers from the Central Coast and came up to the area to help their fellow teacher friends at a summer camp called The Walking G. My grandparents worked as camp counselors for the summer and brought along my 5 year old Mom and her 7 year old brother. My grandparents continued to come up every summer bringing along their kids to enjoy the splendor of the mountains. At 12 years old, my Mom began working at the camp as a dishwasher. For the next 13 years, she worked at the camp moving her way up from dishwasher, to laundry duty, to camp counselor, to ski instructor. It was clear that this special place had made a huge impact on my family…
My grandparents bought a piece of land directly across from the Walking G camp in 1983, and would come up every summer during their time off to build on the property. Little by little, my Grandpa built what came to be known as "The Cabin" which was finally completed in 1991, the year I was born. Mom recalls painting the inside of the cabin during her and my Dad's first year of marriage. Over the years, The Cabin has been remodeled, added onto, and expanded and so has our family.
Fast forward to 2005. As our big family continued biannual trips to The Cabin (during the summer and winter for Christmas) my Mom and Dad became increasingly eager to purchase a place of their own. The stars aligned and eventually the property across the street from The Cabin came up for sale! It is a wonderful space with six charming cabins set on two sparkling ponds with a vast expanse of green pine mountains nestled next to the Feather River. Ever since, we have been blessed to house friends and family for the summer months. This year is no exception as we are currently preparing for a family reunion!
Now that you have the extensive history, I invite you to take s look at all the pictures I took of the cabins and surrounding mountain area! Whether it be the picturesque landscape or the cozy cabins, I hope it gets you inspired 🙂
Welcome to the Grizzly Hideout!
Each of the cabins are named after an area or landmark within the Plumas County area. This cabin, the Genesee, is named after the town of Genesee only a few miles up the road.
I love this weathered wooden bench!
Hammock chair- perfect for a little R&R!
Here's Mike outside of the Quincy cabin, named after the city about 20 miles away. Coincidentally, this cabin is not the only thing named "Quincy" in our family… My parents received their marriage license in the city almost 25 years ago. In 1992 when they had their first and only baby boy, they named him Quincy 🙂 The locals always get a hoot out of it when they learn my brother's name… It's all very sentimental!
The Saddlehorn Ranch wagon— our neighbors!
The bridge pictured above is called "Buttcrack Bridge" — read below to see why is has such a funny name!
"Legend has it wife saw nothing but crack during construction of bridge." (The wife in this tale is my momma, and the buttcrack belongs to my pops… Crazy family!)
Look who came out to see us! Though not all pictured, we counted 8 deer — 7 does and 1 buck. It was pretty incredible to see!
This is Gracie, my sweet golden retreiver. As you will see I can't help but loving to photograph her. C'mon, who doesn't think their own dog is the best?!
Mike feeding the neighbor's horses. How beautiful!
Time for some fishing on the dock!
We caught one fish, but it was literally only 4 inches long. Oh well!
PLEASE throw me a stick! Gracie could spend all day in the river if we let her.
Welcome to The Outhouse! This little 2 bunk cabin sits right on the river and houses all the stinky boys who come up to visit 🙂
The coolest chunky colored glass light ever!
Let's head inside the cabins…
Gracie the photobomber!
Why do we have this extensive collection of old wood burning stoves? No clue!
My mom loves this can of Spam. Why mom?!
Welcome to "The Cabin"
Boot birdhouse— So cute!
Old rake end made into a key holder. Very zesty!
Coffee table my Grandpa made to look like a billow.
ANOTHER wood burning stove!
Ice skating blades and an old sled made into a clock.
I love this stained glass image in the stairway.
Compliation quilt design that tells stories of the family.
Wow, isn't this a beautiful clock? I adore the turquise!
Ever since I was a kid I thought this was the neatest lamp. A true blue cowboy lamp indeed!
Because every cabin needs a carved bear…
Time to take a lunch break at the Genesee Store!
Old fashioned Coca-Cola icebox
Look at the baby swallows!
If you look closely, you can see the bird flying away. She flew right out of that little hole to find food for her babies. You could hear them chirping from inside the little hole of a nest.
After some lunch, Mike and I explored some nearby barns.
Had to sneak one last photo of Gracie in there 😉
Well, tha's all I have for you today! Don't be too disappointed though (as IF that wasn't enough for ya…) I'll be posting more next week once the chaos of the family reunion commences.
enjoy that summer sunshine,

Commercial fleet truck lettering packages and custom car graphics for nearly two decades.
Palm Beach Customs is no stranger to truck and car graphics. We have been providing top quality commercial fleet truck lettering packages and custom car graphics for nearly two decades.
Many of our customers realize that in today's economy a business must take advantage of all the ways to market their business and get in front of their potential clients and to brand their company for the success they are looking for. Some clients use their personal vehicles and/or a few company cars while other clients have a large fleet of vehicles at their disposal. Here at Palm Beach Customs, we can provide both of these types of clients with the business advertising they need with truck and car graphics.
We provide:
- Design from concept to reality
- Fleet refinishing
- Fleet lettering
- Spray on bedliners
- Complete branding packages
Below is a local company, Cape Coral Plumbing, that we installed a spray on bedliner inside their utility body and up and over the tool boxes. Along with a commercial fleet lettering package, we did a complete logo design installation on their brand new F-450 work-truck. The choice of colors on the white body was very simple blue for the plumbing and red for the heating.
Once again we Sprayed a Heavy duty Sprayon Bedliner for the cape coral plumbing truck.
Another example of another very big client that has a large fleet of trucks is Fagan Door Company located in Rhode Island. The fleet of trucks they operate are two colors – dark green metallic and jet black. Their logo is a 4 leaf clover where we used 22 karat ¼ inch engine turn gold leaf with a green outline. The design is easy to read and very clean you will notice both clients put their web domain names on the trucks. As a matter of fact, Fagan chooses to only put their domain names without phone numbers (www.fagandoor.com).
Not only are we limited to truck and car graphics, but we also do boat, trailer, and business sign graphics/ lettering.
If you have a truck, car or enclosed trailer we can help you get your message out and increase your sales to your local market with the graphics you need. We serve SWFL: Lee County Fort Myers, Cape Coral, and all surrounding areas. Feel free to contact us and we will set up a time to discuss your project!

Re: "Detaining kids now big-money industry" (Page A8, July 13):
This report is so important, it should have been on the front page: Health and Human Services spent $958 million dollars in 2017 to house and care for detained unaccompanied and separated children.
How many millions more have been spent since the government started snatching children, even babies, from their parents?
I cry in frustration that my taxpayer dollars are used this way, unnecessarily, when funds to help our own poor children are cut.
Are Republicans no longer deficit hawks? We the people need to see detailed accounting of the current federal deficit.

A woman has been rescued from a home rigged with electrical traps after being held captive as a sex slave for 18 months, Twin Falls County police have confirmed.
The 27-year-old victim had been kept in a rural house on the outskirts of Buhl, Idaho, where detectives found a complex construction of restraints, electrical wiring and fencing.
Twin Falls County Sheriff's detectives have arrested Oscar Ayala-Arizmendi, 36, a man living in the US illegally and charged him for the alleged kidnapping, rape and possession of drugs.
Ayala-Arizmendi has now been taken into custody, with his bail set at $1 million.
The alleged victim escaped on 8 April, at night time, with the help of her brother, she told detectives.
She told police she'd been held captive for nearly two years and forced to take methamphetamine once or twice a week. During the arrest, detectives saw Ayala-Arizmendi smash a glass pipe into a bathtub, which later tested positive for the drug.
According to a police report, the victim began to live with Ayala-Arizmendi more than two years ago, but he began to rape and beat her "more times than she could count". She stated that her captor would use a hammer and piece of wood to hit her, according to New York Daily News.
After her previously unsuccessful attempts to escape in the past, she said she was beaten and threatened with a pillow and a handgun to her head. She told detectives that Ayala-Arizmendi had threatened to "cut her up into small pieces and flush her down the toilet".
At night, she said the suspect raped her on several occasions. Confined to the bedroom, she often was forced to use a rubbish bin for a toilet.
Twin Falls County Prosecutor Grant Loebs told US News that following the woman's report, police worked for the next two and a half weeks to gather evidence to make the arrest.
Ayala-Arizmendi's house was searched, with police finding evidence to back up the victim's testimony, including chains and locks mounted to the walls of the home and a bucket filled with human waste in the bedroom.
A contraption of wood and metal secured the entrance to the room and Investigators also unearthed a handgun and a box of ammo.
Electrical wiring surrounded the house, which detectives believe was set up to shock anyone who tried to escape. The wires were attached to several electrical outlets in the house.
The victim told police that she'd tried to leave Ayala-Arizmendi's house on at least three or four occasions, but returned after he threatened to hurt her.
She says she eventually escaped after her brother and his friends forced their way into the house, after which she was freed with just the clothes she was wearing.
Ayala-Arizmendi's next court appearance is scheduled for 23 May. US Customs and Border Protection officials also are investigating Ayala-Arizmendi's legal status in this country.

This past week the legislatures from the State of Michigan choose to show how weak they are in governing. The lawmakers have agreed to hold a statewide referendum in May in which the citizens of the State of Michigan will be asked to raise the state sales tax by a penny to fix the roads. This self-imposed tax is something I will never give a yes vote. It is not my responsibility to vote for or convince my neighbors to vote for an increase in sales tax. Jack Lessenberry reports that Lansing (Michigan) insider Richard McLellan, is quoted: "the Legislature shall impose taxes sufficient with other resources to pay the expenses of state government," which include "financing and maintaining roads." In my opinion the legislature has failed all around.
We just have a general election this past November. The citizen told them that they need to govern. They needed to act. Act boldly. The problem with our elections are that the new Representatives have to wait till the middle of January before they take office. No other country does this. It's a holdover from the 18th century when the elected official had to ride a horse to get to the location of the government seat. It will never be changed. What this does is allow those that were defeated to pass poor legislation. Michigan officials did that this week.
We have suffered through some hard winters that have ruin many roads. Local government road commissions, on limited budgets have applied "patches" to repair the road infrastructure. Unlike many other countries, we do not have a rail system to provide transportation for people. Our rail system is 90% used for transporting goods, from coal to autos to grains, on & on. Our highway system is also used to ship goods cross-country, both short haul & long haul. Our highways and intrastate roadways are being destroyed.
First, a sales tax is a regressive way to fund road repair. If you break down spending in sort of a "Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs", you spend in the following order:
- Basic needs (Food), which is not tax
- Essential services and other necessities (taxed)
- Nice to have (taxed)
- High end discretionary spending (taxed)
Although the last 3 items are taxed, the taxpayer doesn't need to spend on the last two categories. This forces the lower income taxpayer to spend a high proportion of their income on taxed items. The higher income earner will also find ways to circumvent the tax burden because they have more discretionary income to spend & more time to make those decisions.
An additional burden is that this election will cost the people of the State of Michigan $10 million dollars to run. It will not generate enough dollars to fix all the problems. It will take 3 years to collect the total amount. If this referendum is defeated they have no backup plan. Also on the back side is an increase in the yearly car registration fees. These are all reason to vote no.

Urban Transport Timetabling and Scheduling
The Urban Transportation Problem (UTP) consists of timetabling, bus scheduling and drivers assignment for urban collective transport lines. It has clear social and financial importance. In this work, we consider a new hybrid approach to solve the UTP in which we generate a set of feasible driver's journeys using Constraint Logic Programming, and then use two parallel metaheuristics, Tabu Search and Genetic Algorithm, to find good schedulings. This hybrid algorithm is tested against real instances steming the metropolitan region of São Paulo, and the solutions are compared with the manual ones, and also with those obtained from others techniques. Our solutions proved to be distinctively superior.
The Project was mainly developed by me and André Ciré and was advisored by Phd. Arnaldo Moura.

The express employer group chaired by Justin Moore, CitySprint and secretaried by IOC chair Carl Lomas, submitted a standard for the qualification of degree apprenticeship named as occupation, Express Manager. The express manager degree should do what it says on the can, provide a qualification for our next generation managers in final mile, courier and express deliveries. The Express team are seen on the photo, Carl Lomas, Prof Liz Barnes boss of Staffordshire University in DPD homeland, IOC president Lord Falkland and Justin Moore CitySprint.
Levy arrives April for payments in May 2017 and future candidates will be funded by the levy, a degree apprentice individual has no 9k university fee to pay, the fee comes form levy and the candidate works on the job, sharing learning time with one of the supporting Universities. Located in the logistics hot spot of Heathrow, University of West London has lead development alongside University of Derby in the East Midlands Donnington D2N2 hot spot of middle England logistics.
The standard was built with wide scale input from employers, national, regional and sme, the group met at the IOC heads of industry events during 2016 as well as group workshops from Manchester to Derby and London. One to one employer meetings focused on detail in the standard, the nuts and bolts from mail licence to FORS and Mcpc, responsibilities for tendering express contracts, routing peak delivery, performance innovation for volume and speed to customers and LoCity clean air solutions for final mile in conurbations. Employers have contributed to all things needed in the job role of an Express Manager and put it to paper in a two page summary document as a draft standard of the qualification for the Dept of Education.
Carl Lomas comments,
The express manager degree standard is a credit to the employers who have supported it, both attending workshops and giving their time in one to one session to build detail in the job role demands of express managers, the new standard is a showcase of the demands of our next generation managers in express, final mile, courier for an evolving sector with exploding numbers. This gives a chance for our next generation managers to take a formal step into the sector with a qualification designed by the employers and funded under the new levy. Its not there yet, standard will be reviewed by dept of education and reported back in March, keep your fingers crossed for recognition of our sector.
Express Trailblazer group has been busy since Justin Moore submitted the first phase two application for a level two apprentice back in 2015, the level two has cleared standard and looks set to be the first of the new qualifications delivered, titled, Express delivery, this is aimed at front line couriers delivering express and final mile solutions from Royal mail posties to national and regional couriers. A level two is under development for sortation operatives working in the hubs, a level 3 for mentor and a level 4 for supervision managers. To complete a stairway of qualifications for the sector a level seven masters degree for Express strategic manager is also in development. A qualification for every level signposting the career opportunities in express final mile sector.
To get full detail of the qualifications at standard and in development search the web to the Trailblazer section of the Institute of Couriers web site here. You can even find the first mapping of the level two express delivery qualification. Colleges, universities and private training providers have been briefed by AELP for the delivery of the qualifications as levy fast approaches the tax bill for companies in the sector.
Express Delivery manager, summary for the new draft standard submission submitted to Dept for Education Feb 23rd
Occupation: Express Delivery Manager, Level: 6, Programme duration: The apprenticeship will take a minimum of 36 months to complete. (Ref ST0471)
Role: The advent and rapid growth of internet-generated sales have created demand for a new breed of logistics professional with the skills needed to locate and deliver goods to precise and demanding delivery specifications – the Express Delivery Manager. This Standard sets out the knowledge, skills and behaviours needed by these senior managers in the technology-led, fast-paced, 24/7 world of express sortation operations. These are not the traditional skills of warehouse management and vehicle fleet management, but the skills of data analysis, key performance indicator-based management, real time business planning, time-critical decision making and innovation in route planning. All Apprentices are required to gain and maintain all of the knowledge set out in this Standard, irrespective of their current or initial job role and duties.
Level 2: Sortation Hub Operative
Level 3: Express Delivery Supervisor Mentor
Level 4: Sortation Hub Supervisor / Manager
These Standards will be distinct from other Standards in the broader logistics and supply chain sector. The context is the rapid and continuing growth of internet-generated sales. This has created demand for a new cohort of operatives and professionals with the skills needed to sort and deliver goods to precise and demanding delivery specifications. This takes place in an environment where domestic and business customers have rising expectations of service quality and customer service. Figures from IMRG show an exploding number pattern for on-lime retail, 'shift from high street purchase to home delivery has exploded, ' says Nick Langdon, boss of the Royal Mail. the IMRG figures reported 26 % of 2016 retail purchases were home delivered. Interpreting the IMRG figures propose that half of retail purchase will be home delivered by 2020, this is a double growth in the next five years' says Carl Lomas MBE, chairman of the Institute of Couriers. Fulfilment of these internet-generated orders has led to a new physical infrastructure of sortation hubs using specialist equipment and fleets of specialised vehicles – with an increasing focus on reducing the environmental impact of deliveries. This has been accompanied by widespread adoption of sophisticated ICT systems to process orders, generate route instructions and gather data to enable the monitoring of key performance indicators. Express is unique, it is evolving and has strong demand for a next generation workforce as e-retail home delivery explodes its numbers with the continuing shift of high street retail to home delivery. Operative roles in a sortation hub are very different from those in a traditional warehouse and the management skills are similarly different from those of warehouse management and vehicle fleet management. Express roles rarely include warehouse and storage activities, goods pass through a sortation hub in less than 24 hours and often less than six hours, there is no conventional storage, rack and stack operation. Express roles do not include the purchase or sourcing of goods in the supply chain, Express goods is about handling consumer orders and fulfilling urgent delivery for multiple brands.
