Decatur was founded in 1823, and saw a great deal of action during the Civil War. Having come under frequent attack, there were only a handful of buildings left standing at the end of the war.
Today, those visiting Decatur will quickly identify its popular, charming historic districts. Two special districts, The Old Decatur Historic District, and The New Decatur-Albany Historic District are listed on the National Register of Historical Places. Both areas sport wonderfully maintained architecture- much of which is in the Victorian style. Experiencing a walking or driving tour of the districts is well worth the time, and provides insight into this simply pleasant community. The Carnegie Library and the Chenault House are two special features. Maps are available at the Decatur/Morgan County Convention & Visitors Bureau.

Over the River and Through the Wood
An Anthology of Nineteenth-Century American Children's Poetry
edited by Karen L. Kilcup and Angela Sorby
Rediscover nineteenth-century American children's poetry with period illustrations.
Outstanding Academic Title, Choice
Over the River and Through the Wood is the first and only collection of its kind, offering readers an unequaled view of the quality and diversity of nineteenth-century American children's poetry. Most American poets wrote for children—from famous names such as Ralph Waldo Emerson to less familiar figures like Christina Moody, an African American author who published her first book at sixteen. In its excellence, relevance, and abundance, much of this work rivals or surpasses poetry written for adults, yet it has languished—inaccessible and unread—in old periodicals, gift books, and primers. This groundbreaking anthology remedies that loss, presenting material that is both critical to the tradition of American poetry and also a delight to read.
Complemented by period illustrations, this definitive collection includes work by poets from all geographical regions, as well as rarely seen poems by immigrant and ethnic writers and by children themselves. Karen L. Kilcup and Angela Sorby have combed the archives to present an extensive selection of rediscoveries along with traditional favorites. By turns playful, contemplative, humorous, and subversive, these poems appeal to modern sensibilities while giving scholars a revised picture of the nineteenth-century literary landscape.

We met in college and felt a connection instantly. After three years of dating we got married in 2010. Our marriage has been a blessing, especially during our struggle with infertility. We are looking forward to sharing our love with children.
We love being active and spending time outside. We love going to the mountains with our family. Chris tried to teach Amy to ski, but she learned to snowboard instead. We love hiking and experiencing the beauty of nature. We think that our time outside is a great way to connect and spend time together. We hope to pass on our love of nature to our children and are looking forward to many adventures with them.
Amy is cheerful, enthusiastic, and very silly. She is always excited and positive, looking at the bright side of everything. She also has big heart and cares deeply about the feelings of others.
Chris is the most dependable, smart, and adventurous person that I know! He is a family man and always spends time making memories with our family. I love that our family is built on such a stable, steady, and loving man.

The September 2019 Apple Keynote is here. Together with the WWDC19 Developer's Conference, this is one of the most eagerly awaited presentations for the technology industry, as the American company is used to announcing its new mobile devices at this time. The event will be this Tuesday and will begin at 10.00 am (PDT). As usual, it will take place at the Steve Jobs Theater in its headquarters in Cupertino, California (United States).
The company will broadcast the event live, so it can be seen on their website and, for the first time in the history of this conference, on their official YouTube channel.
What can we expect from this Apple Keynote?
Since the arrival of its Plus versions, the company has not presented a terminal alone. According to the leaks shared by Bloomerang, these devices would be iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max, successors of iPhone XR, iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max respectively.
Apparently, the most noticeable change these phones will have would be the three back cameras next to the flash in a square. This third added camera would be an ultra wide-angle camera that attaches to the telephoto lens and wide-angle lens already seen on previous devices. This improvement will result in higher resolution photographs with better results in low light, as well as better video capture and a new editing mode.
On the other hand, rumors point to the disappearance of the 3D Touch through which the screen was sensitive to different finger pressures and Face ID would be more effective.
The leaks do not highlight any detail about the 5G, ports or fast charge, but they do ensure that this new range of iPhone 11 would have reverse wireless charge as some devices Samsung and Huawei already have.

These days, almost everyone needs a website to run his business or even otherwise. There is a huge variety of websites that are visible in the online space. They all cater to different type of audiences and hence have a different website design. It is very easy for us to buy products and services online. We can easily switch from store to store and compare before making a buying decision. This wasn't possible in a traditional setting or with physical stores. Once you reach a particular store you tent to buy from there to avoid travelling to the next one.
Selling is one of the goals of most websites today. Getting leads through website is a very important function and a strong motivation for webmasters. How your website appears to the users is also an important parameter that influences the buying decision of visitors. Web design is not just an expression of art; it requires awareness and understanding of the user expectations and using what would appeal to them. Professional web designers are skilled and no doubt more experienced and knowledgeable than you, but what if you want to do it yourself?
If you have a taste for design and want to design your website on your own, there is software available to help you do so. Sometimes, it is better to do it yourself than to try explaining it to someone else. When you are clear about what you want, you can just go ahead and design it yourself. If you have a small business, your website design will be different from that of a huge business or a casual personal website. You can look at other similar website as well as your competition website to find out what works. You can choose to be similar or different from them.
Whatever it is, don't make it clumsy with lot of information. Arrange it well so that users can get what they are looking for easily. If the website is too confusing, visitors often leave it within seconds and go to another competing website. Aesthetics are that important. After all, we think and understand in terms of pictures, not words. Web design is really a study of psychology of the human brain. A little bit of wrong colour or a big sized symbol can turn your visitor off and he will never come back again. Similarly, visitors also tolerate other minor flaws in a website or the product offered just because the website is easy to use.
Just like you will do it for your home, make the website look welcoming and smooth. You have cupboards and shelves in your house to keep the stuff. Similarly you arrange data on your website. Keep the home page clean and to the point just like you just write your name on the entrance to your home. This is called good website design. As they enter, they get more information. A website with the right design can get you more profitable results than any features it may have.


It's been about four years since the iPhone hit the market, and more than three years since the App Store opened for business. So it's about time Google finally got around to releasing a native Gmail app for the iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad… which is exactly what the company did today.
Update: The app has been pulled from the App Store temporarily while Google fixes a bug.
Update 11/16/11: And now it's back and everything seems to be working properly.
While Google's mobile web app for Gmail is pretty good, the new app is faster, offers a cleaner look, and adds a number of features that you don't get with the web app.
You can download Gmail for iOS for free from the App Store.
The Gmail app supports push notifications and audio alerts — or at least it's supposed to. Push notifications don't appear to work yet. Second, it allows you to autocomplete addresses by grabbing contacts from your local address book as well as your Gmail account.
The Gmail app includes touch-based gestures including the ability to refresh your inbox by pulling down on the screen. You can swipe from left-to-right on the screen to navigate through your folders and Priority Inbox settings. You can also now attach images to an email message.
When you use the Gmail app on an iPad, there's a split-pane view that lets you see a list of messages on the left while viewing a thread on the right.
Google's Gmail app for iOS is long overdue… but after playing around with it for a few minutes, I'm tempted to say it was almost worth the wait. If you were expecting an iOS port of the Gmail app for Android, that's not what you'll find here. Instead you get a high quality email app which looks and feels like it was designed for the iPhone, and which offers a much better experience than you'll get when using the Safari web browser to check your email from your phone.

Hot-shooting TNT forces decider against Phoenix Super LPG
MANILA, Philippines, November 26 ------ TNT Tropang Giga found their mark from beyond the arc and outgunned Phoenix Super LPG, 102-101, in Game 4 of their semifinal series in the 2020 PBA Philippine Cup on Wednesday. TNT came out on top in a fourth quarter shootout against the Fuel Masters to send their best-of-five series to a deciding game on Friday, still at the AUF Gym in Angeles City, Pampanga. The Tropang Giga leaned on their hot shooting from long distance as they made 18 of their 46 three-pointers to get enough separation from the Fuel Masters, allowing them to weather Phoenix's last ditch rally.
Ray Parks Jr. scored 17 of his team-best 36 points in the fourth quarter to go along with six rebounds and three assists, and was superb in the end game when the Fuel Masters were knocking on the door. Jayson Castro got the call to start, and delivered 21 points, five assists, four rebounds and three steals. "Ang main goal lang talaga namin is to even the series," said TNT coach Bong Ravena afterward. "There's nothing to celebrate eh… We have to be ready for Phoenix also. We respect them so much, and we know they can play. "Walang relax na mangyayari sa amin," he guaranteed.
The Tropang Giga, with their backs against the wall, came out ablaze to start the game and led 8-0 right out of the gate. They would extend that lead to 17 points, 57-40, early in the third period but the Fuel Masters showed tremendous grit in rallying back. With Matthew Wright finding his rhythm, the Fuel Masters scored 11 unanswered points to end the third period and trim the lead to just one point, 69-68, heading into the fourth quarter. Momentum was on the side of Phoenix Super LPG as they outscored TNT, 30-21, in the frame. In an explosive start to the fourth quarter, the two teams alternated shots, with RR Garcia's jumper keeping Phoenix Super LPG within distance, 78-75. But RR Pogoy and Parks drained back-to-back three-pointers that gave TNT some separation, 84-75, and it was an advantage they would nurse all the way to the final buzzer.
Despite falling behind anew, the Fuel Masters kept pushing and managed to make it a four-point game, 96-92, with still a minute and a half left off two free throws from Justin Chua. But Parks took matters into his own hands, draining a step-back jump shot with 70 seconds to play that gave TNT a 98-92 spread. Phoenix Super LPG had their chance to cut into the deficit. Thanks to their offensive rebounding, they had three shots in their next possession, but bricked all of them. Three-pointers from Jason Perkins and Matthew Wright in the final seconds came too little, too late for the Fuel Masters, as Parks and Simon Enciso converted their free throws to keep them at bay.
"We have to want that game so bad," Ravena said of the upcoming Game 5. "We have to work hard and really want that game." Pogoy had 18 points for TNT, which also got a solid performance from veteran Jay Washington (six points, five rebounds, three assists, three blocks in 31 minutes) as Poy Erram and Troy Rosario continued to struggle. Enciso finished with 14 points. Wright finished the game with 34 points on 9-of-17 shooting, along with nine assists and five rebounds. Calvin Abueva had 17 points and 13 rebounds, but was also responsible for eight of Phoenix Super LPG's 25 turnovers. TNT feasted on the Fuel Masters' miscues, turning their 25 turnovers into 26 points.

Emeka Udenyi knew if he missed, Justin Pratt would have his back.
Pratt, a 6-foot-3 junior forward, followed in Udenyi's missed floater in the lane to score with 1.6 seconds left, lifting third-seeded De La Salle-Concord to a 53-51 North Coast Section Division 1 championship win over top-seeded Dublin on Friday night at a packed and loud McKeon Pavilion at St. Mary's College.
After two free throws by Dublin's Steven Houston (12 points) tied the game 51-51 with 14.3 seconds left, De La Salle called timeout with 6.7 ticks remaining.
Pratt inbounded to Udenyi (14 points, 12 rebounds), and the 6-6, 230-pounder spun in the lane, sending a shot off the front iron. Pratt (13 points) followed on the right side and banked the ball home with his left hand.
The Spartans (26-5), who lost an overtime game to Dublin in the East Bay Athletic League playoff final, will advance to NorCal Open Division play next week after winning their second straight NCS title — their 12th overall.
Dublin, which got 13 points from Montana-bound Tim Falls and 12 second-half points from 6-7 junior Jack Nielsen, had one last chance. After a timeout, Jared Smart's halfcourt shot drew iron, sending up a loud groan on the Dublin end and triggering a wild celebration from De La Salle.
Not so for Dublin (28-4), which fought back from a 27-19 halftime deficit to take several leads in the second half, the last 49-48 on a bucket by Nielsen.
De La Salle point guard Colby Orr, superb all night with 13 points and five assists, made an acrobatic layup with less than a minute to put his team up 50-49, and after two missed free throws by Dublin, Orr made one more free throw with 15.8 seconds left, missed the second and then fouled Houston, who made two free throws before the final sequence.
His team was trying for its first NCS championship. The Gaels will likely be the top seed in the NorCal Division 1 playoffs.
Mitty 57, Bellarmine 54: Kyle Peterson's deep three-pointer with 16 seconds remaining in overtime, his only points of the game, gave Mitty (17-10) the lead and proved to be the decisive basket in the Monarchs' win in the Open Division championship at Santa Clara University. Bellarmine was called for an offensive foul with 4.7 seconds remaining in overtime and Riley Grigsby sank two free throws to give Mitty a three-point cushion. Bellarmine's contested three-point attempt at the buzzer clanked off the rim, snapping the Bells' 18-game win streak and giving Mitty its third Open Division title in five years. Grigsby was held to 13 points combined during Mitty's two regular-season losses to Bellarmine (25-2), but scored 20 on Friday night.
Mission 41, Lowell 40: It wasn't pretty or a typical high-scoring Mission affair, but the Bears (30-1) won their third straight section title at Kezar Pavilion. After scoring at least 100 points in three of their previous four games, the Bears had just 21 points after three quarters but managed 20 in the fourth quarter to avoid the upset bid of the Cardinals (20-7). Niamey Harris had 17 points and eight rebounds and Tyrese Johnson added nine points and excellent defense for Mission, which won its fifth section crown in six years. Robert Lee and Ujah Pratt also sparked Mission, which should be a high seed in the NorCal Division 3 playoffs, which open next week. Lowell was led by 13 points from Kevin Fok and 11 by Isaac Finestone.

Not a Done Deal
Okay, so it's a bad deal. It may not prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons. Perhaps a better deal was possible. But now it's done—signed, sealed, and delivered, the law of the land—with the unanimous endorsement of the UN Security Council to boot. So it's time to stop haggling and move on. Right? Wrong.
The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) with Iran is not a binding international treaty. According to the U.S. Constitution (Article II, Section 2, Clause 2), a treaty requires ratification by the U.S. Senate by an affirmative vote of a two-thirds majority. Anticipating a lukewarm reception by the Senate, the administration decided to present the agreement as an arms-control deal rather than a treaty. Therefore, neither the agreement nor the ensuing UN Security Council resolution overrides U.S. law; in fact, neither creates any binding American obligation at all. And some have even suggested that the JCPOA actually conflicts with international law, namely the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), the "cornerstone of the nonproliferation regime," which the U.S. ratified in 1969.
Only Congress can establish U.S. law, and indeed Congress has passed a number of laws imposing financial sanctions on Iran related to its nuclear pursuit, going back two decades: The Iran Sanctions Act of 1996, Comprehensive Iran Sanctions, Accountability, and Divestment Act of 2010 (CISADA), Iran Threat Reduction Act of 2012, and others. (Another sanctions bill, the Nuclear Weapon Free Iran Act of 2013, was introduced in the Senate but not enacted.) Modifying or annulling these laws would require passing new legislation in the current or a future session of Congress. And of course, any executive actions can also be changed or reversed by a future president; indeed, Republican presidential candidate Marco Rubio has already indicated that he would probably do so.
Some of the sanctions laws allow for temporary presidential waivers. Waiving key sanctions, such as those against Iran's central bank requires the President to certify "that Iran has stopped its ballistic-missile program, ceased money-laundering and no longer sponsors international terrorism." Given what we know about Iranian behavior, this would be a difficult case to make, so waivers are not likely either.
In May 2015, the U.S. Congress passed (by 98-1 in the Senate and 415-0 in the House), and President Obama signed into law, the Iran Nuclear Agreement Review Act. The legislation says (p. 33) that "because the sanctions regime was imposed by Congress and only Congress can permanently modify or eliminate that regime, it is critically important that Congress have the opportunity, in an orderly and deliberative manner, to consider and, as appropriate, take action affecting the statutory sanctions regime imposed by Congress."
Finally, the JCPOA calls for the U.S. to remove state- and local-level sanctions as well (§25). But in our federal system, neither the president nor the U.S. Congress have the authority to do so. In fact, at least two states, California and New York, have already announced that they will keep their sanctions in place. In all, 29 states have divestment laws that forbid investing public funds in companies linked to Iran.
It turns out that the JCPOA may not even be binding on Iran for long. Section 36 of the JCPOA states that if any participant believes that another party has failed to meet its obligations under the deal, it may refer the matter to a Joint Commission as a first step in a "Dispute Resolution Mechanism." (The final step, if it came to it, is for the complaining participant "to cease performing its commitments under this JCPOA in whole or in part"—effectively, canceling the agreement.) Indeed, a mere 10 days after concluding the JCPOA, Iran sent a letter to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) accusing the United States of being in "material breach" of its commitments. Is Iran already laying the ground for walking away from the deal?

Indeed, a mere 10 days after concluding the JCPOA, Iran sent a letter to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) accusing the United States of being in "material breach" of its commitments. Is Iran already laying the ground for walking away from the deal, and resuming unlimited enrichment?
So where do we go from here? Under the terms of the Iran Nuclear Agreement Review Act of 2015, Congress has until September 18, 2015 to vote for a resolution of approval or disapproval of the JCPOA. If Congress votes for disapproval, and the President vetoes the resolution, Congress will have another 10 days to try and override the veto by a 2/3 vote in each chamber. During the entire review period, "the President may not waive, suspend, reduce, provide relief from, or otherwise limit the application of statutory sanctions" on Iran (p. 30 of the Act).
It is far from certain that Congress will vote to block the deal, and even less likely that it will muster the super-majority required to override a presidential veto. But the debate isn't over yet—and with 16 months left from final passage to the end of the President's term, any Iranian financial gains may be of limited duration.
As always, I look forward to your feedback: Thoughts, additions, and rebuttals are welcome and actively solicited! Please leave your notes in the Comments section below, or send them directly to me.

Capitol Commentary: June 24, 2013
BRADY NAMED TO CONFERENCE COMMITTEE ON PENSIONS
After failing to reach a compromise on pension reform during the one-day special session on June 19, the General Assembly has decided to utilize the Conference Committee process in hopes of making substantial reforms and stabilizing the state's pension system. Among the legislators named to the Committee is State Senator Bill Brady (R-Bloomington)
"Without a doubt the pension crisis is the greatest threat to the stability and financial well being of our state," said Brady. "I am honored to have the opportunity to be part of the Conference Committee and hope my experience can help us reach a solution." Said Brady.
Conference Committees are composed of 10 appointees designated by each of the four legislative leaders; the Senate President and House Speaker each appointed three members, while the minority leaders each appointed two. Conference Committee members are anticipated to meet both privately and publicly to iron out differences and come to an agreement, which will be filed and presented to lawmakers in both chambers in a Conference Committee Report.
Joining Senator Brady in representing the Senate Republicans on the Conference Committee will be Deputy Senate Republican Leader Matt Murphy (R-Palatine).
In addition to Murphy and Brady, the other appointees to the Conference Committee are: Sen. Kwame Raoul (D-Chicago), Sen. Daniel Biss (D-Evanston), Sen. Linda Holmes (D-Aurora), Rep. Elaine Nekritz (D-Northbrook), Rep. Mike Zalewski (D-Riverside), Rep. Art Turner (D-Chicago); Rep. Darlene Senger (R-Naperville) and Rep. Jil Tracy (R-Quincy)
CONFERENCE COMMITTEE WORK MAY BE CONSIDERED IN JULY
Lawmakers are likely to return in early July to consider the product of the Conference Committee's meetings. If the report's effective date is immediate, the measure will require a 3/5 vote for passage. If the effective date is changed to June 1, 2014, a simple majority vote would be required.
Should the Conference Committee be unable to reach an agreement or the report is defeated by a roll call vote, a second Conference Committee can be created. If the second fails to develop a proposal that passes muster with lawmakers, the bill is declared lost. However, it is also possible for the Committee to submit "corrected" reports which contain new changes and have the practical effect of giving lawmakers more than two opportunities to reach a consensus.
GOV SIGNS "FRACKING" BILL INTO LAW
On June 17 legislation allowing the state to adopt regulations affecting hydraulic fracturing, frequently known as "fracking," was signed into law by the Governor. Senate Bill 1715, which is the result of extensive negotiations between environmental groups and industry representatives, defines how Illinois will regulate and monitor fracking.
Hydraulic fracturing is the process of forcing pressurized water, sand, and other materials underground to expand fissures in rock layers that trap natural gas or oil. Doing so allows the gas or oil to escape to the surface where it can be more easily recovered. While environmental groups initially raised concerns that hydraulic fracturing could have a negative impact on Illinois' natural resources, proponents of the legislation say that the regulations in Senate Bill 1715 are to be considered a model for the nation in balancing environmental concerns with the significant opportunities for jobs that the process offers.
It has been estimated that hydraulic fracturing could create as many as 40,000 jobs in Illinois in job-starved areas of the state. The economic development opportunities and growth associated with fracking will also expand to other regions of Illinois, as the industry will rely on resources, material and transportation from all corners of the state.


Love is giving up control. It's surrendering the desire to control the other person. The two – love and controlling power over the other person – are mutually exclusive. If we are serious about loving someone, we have to surrender all of the desires within us to manipulate the relationship.

Why this fund manager likes BMW and Brexit
Sarah TurnerReporter
Apr 23, 2019 — 12.00am
Gregory Kolb of Perkins Investment Management reckons growth stocks look dangerously vulnerable and so he is on the hunt for unloved companies and markets. BMW and Britain, thanks to Brexit, fit the bill perfectly.
Kolb, a "defensive value" manager, says he sold out of Microsoft last year, for example, on valuation concerns after the technology sector was pushed sharply higher by investors with a growth bias.
"We bought our first shares at $US20 and sold them in the last year at north of $US90. It has been a central kind of company in the rally – growth and tech – and the valuation in our mind has become more stretched," he says.
'Defensive value' manager Greg Kolb says there is plenty investors can do to protect themselves from downturns. Peter Braig
"There's a healthy portion of the market that realises that growth is stretched and is trying to time the exit – and that might not end very well if everyone tries to do it at the same time," Kolb says.
Perkins is a division of $US329 billion ($458 billion) fund giant Janus Henderson and had about $US4 billion in assets under management by 2018. Kolb co-manages the asset manager's international value and global value strategies.
Kolb says that, although it's impossible to time periods of expected downturns, there are some things that investors can do to prepare for times of market stress.
"You can make judgments around valuation and, in our mind, it's a great time to shift your portfolio in the aggregate to a little bit more of a defensive stance," he says.
"Balance sheet strength, competitive strength and resilient earnings streams matter a great deal."
However, investors shouldn't pay excessive prices for those companies either, he says. "If you play an exorbitant multiple, the stock will not be defensive, so that's why value does matter."
BMW in favour
He gives German carmaker BMW as an example of a stock that fits his investing criteria.
"It is in the headlines for a lot of the wrong reasons – such as fears around electrification and autonomous driving, trade war impacts and generally flat-lining, or weakening, auto sales around the world from a cyclical standpoint," he says.
"But the business is a global, iconic brand. They are a leader in investing for and planning for the shift to electrification in their manufacturing processes. They are able to charge premium prices and earn premium margins and have done so for a long time."
He notes the firm trades at 7.5 times earnings, "so it's deeply out of favour and has not participated in the bull market".
Brexit bull
Another opening he sees is Brexit. He says the entire UK market has fallen out of favour with investors as the country negotiates to leave the European Union, but for Kolb the UK is a golden investment opportunity.
He has about 12 per cent of his portfolio invested in Britain, with a third of that allocation invested in domestically exposed companies such as consumer banking group Lloyds.
"When a lot of people avoid something, that tends to depress valuations and it offers up an opportunity and you get really good bargain prices as a result," he says.
"So Brexit obviously is a rocky process. It has been going on nearly three years now and if Britain leave the customs union, it will mean higher transaction costs on about half of their trade, which will impose a cost on the national income – so that most economists estimate over the next five or 10 years gross domestic product will be 2 per cent to 4 per cent less than it otherwise would be if they didn't interfere with trade.
From our standpoint the stockmarket is expensive and risky.
— Greg Kolb
"And it might be rockier in the near-term as it doesn't appear there has been good preparation for a hard exit. However, those kind of numbers are not the end of the world. Britain is a strong country and economy and it will continue on.
"In the meantime, the bulk of the investment community has sort of said 'we're not interested', so the valuations have detached to the downside and so we bought a number of companies across the spectrum."
As far as Australia goes, the market does not stand out as particularly inexpensive or out of favour, the portfolio manager comments.
Amcor owner
He says he holds one Australian-listed stock in his portfolio of 60 to 90 stocks, packaging group Amcor, having decided to invest in the company last year.
There were two factors to consider for Amcor, he says: rising input costs and its acquisition of smaller US competitor Bemis.
"From our perspective, most of Amcor's contracts have cost pass-through provisions. So there is a lag but that will get passed through, so the margin hit from that is not an enduring one," Kolb says.
On Amcor's Bemis buy, he believes Amcor will prove a better manager of the business.
"It's notoriously not a well-run business from a management standpoint," he said.
"We think that it adds scale to their business; we think that their purchase price was a good one, and they are going to get a good internal rate of return on the deal."
More broadly, the US Federal Reserve's effectiveness in providing a backstop for markets is likely to wane and investors should brace for lower prices and sudden sharp market moves, the fund manager says.
Early this year, the US central bank announced an abrupt shift to a more accommodative monetary policy stance. This month, the Fed took an even more dovish turn with US monetary policy, scrapping its forecasts for interest rate rises this year amid "significant uncertainties" and persistently low inflation.
Investors breathed a sigh of relief at the policy pivot and markets rallied strongly through the first quarter. Australia's S&P/ASX200 Index jumped more than 10 per cent in the first quarter of 2019.
Running low
But Kolb thinks the ability of central banks to continue to support economies is running low.
"We believe that the major central banks are very low on ammunition to fight a recession if it happens," the fund manager says.
"They have already done very substantial quantitative easing and have bought up about $4 trillion worth of assets on the balance sheet – to limited effect – so they don't have the kind of room to ease that they have had in prior recessions."
He pointed out that, since the 1950s, each time the Federal Reserve has cut interest rates to support the US economy in a downturn, it has cut on average by 500 basis points.
The Fed will not be able to make similarly large rate moves in the current environment given interest-rate expectations today, he says. "They can't do it," with the front end of the US 10-year yield curve at only 2.25 per cent, he argues.
"So the idea of a central bank put – the usefulness of it – might be coming to an end in our mind," he says, adding this "probably means lower valuations and more volatility".
The portfolio manager says 10 years of monetary policy largesse has lifted markets to a point where he is nervous about the future.
"You've had all of these big tailwinds leading us to where we are now," Kolb says. "From our standpoint the stockmarket is expensive and risky. We have had a 10-year bull market that has elevated stock prices and the underpinning expectations of those stock prices.
"In our mind that means that the future holds lower rates of return and will likely be punctuated by bigger drawdowns than we have seen in the past 10 years."

It's easy to imagine the end result of a remodeling project — an updated spa bathroom, an open-concept kitchen with new cabinets and countertops or a basement converted into a convenient guest apartment. But it's harder to imagine just what these renovations will cost — and even more so, how far your own budget will take you. Here's a look at what you can achieve with modest, average and luxury budgets for three common remodeling projects, according to data from HomeAdvisor's True Cost Guide.
Even small modifications can have a big impact in a bathroom remodel. On average, homeowners spend around $6,000 to $14,000, depending on the size and extent of the project.
Modest: With a budget of around $2,500, you can give your bathroom a fresh coat of paint, upgrade the toilet and sink, add new decor and update the lighting.
Average: For closer to $10,000, you can swap out surfaces and fixtures, so long as you don't move plumbing or electrical. You can get new cabinetry, flooring and countertop materials — and even upgrade to a curbless walk-in shower.
Luxury: With a budget of around $24,000, you can move plumbing fixtures, invest in high-end flooring and countertop materials, and install new, custom-made cabinetry. You can also add tile installations, radiant floor heating and a luxury shower.
Most people have a vision of their "dream" kitchen, but not everyone can afford it right off the bat. Homeowners tend to spend $12,500 to $33,500 to create a kitchen that both appeals to their tastes and complements their lifestyle.
Modest: With around $4,000, you can either reface or refinish the cabinetry, upgrade your countertops or get all-new appliances. And your budget could also include detail work like painting, new plumbing fixtures and lighting.
Average: With a budget of closer to $22,000, you can paint, get new countertops, reface or replace your cabinets, and invest in high-quality appliances. You can also add a kitchen island or remove a wall. Note that removing a load-bearing wall could cost over $10,000.
Luxury: Most homeowners spend over $50,000 for a luxury kitchen remodel. With this, you can change the layout, knock out a wall, install new windows, get high-end flooring and countertop materials, and upgrade to the latest and greatest appliances.
Remodeling your basement offers a prime opportunity to add usable square footage and value to your home. On average, homeowners report paying $10,500 to $27,500 on basement remodels.
Modest: With a basement that is 600 to 700 square feet, you can create a family room, home theater or wet bar for around $5,000. Keep your costs down with affordable materials and furniture.
Average: With closer to $20,000, you can renovate a basement of 700 to 1,000 square feet. You can use higher-end flooring materials, add cabinetry and storage, and frame the basement to add rooms or separate spaces. You can even have a bathroom installed, though it will cost $10,000-$15,000 for the plumbing, electrical, fixtures and walls.
Luxury: A budget of over $40,000 can transform your basement into a living space with bedrooms, bathrooms, closets, a kitchenette, cabinetry and high-end flooring materials. When it comes to high-end basement remodels, the opportunities are endless.

New sporting boss of Anderlecht going deeper in on trainerskwestie and 'not' of Cocu
RSC Anderlecht has Frank Arnesen Thursday proposed as new technical director. He stands at the Belgian recordkampioen, that difficult times will experience, for a great challenge, but feels ready for the job. "Anderlecht is for me an absolute top club. Perhaps the results are currently not as good. But here are a lot of possibilities and I'm really looking forward to do my bit to contribute," said the Dane, ex-player of Anderlecht, on his first day at the Constant Vanden stock stadium.
Arnesen (62) was Thursday, flanked by Michael Verschueren, recently manager of purple and white. His coming fits in with the new sporting structure that Verschueren with chairman Marc Coucke drew up. "Frank has the effective DNA-profile of our club", said Verschueren. "He has at RSCA beautiful moments, the title won. He then worked for top clubs like Chelsea and Tottenham. He is a man with a big network and he has the mentality of a champion."
For Arnesen, it is a return to the club for which he between 1983 and 1985, played soccer. He wore also the jersey of Ajax, Valencia and PSV. At the lampenclub was the Dane also assistant coach and technical director. Which function he fulfilled, then also for Tottenham, Chelsea, Hamburg, Metalist Kharkiv and PAOK.
In order to Anderlecht to return, explained Arnesen his job as a member of the supervisory Board of PSV down. "I have all over Europe working", underlined the former midfielder. "My start as manager at PSV, where I'm also an ex-player was. Now I have to Anderlecht return to, is very nice. This is the 34-fold champion of Belgium. We are committed to stay in Belgium to be the best. The bar is high but we must be ambitious."
New trainer
A successor to appoint for mid-december dismissed Hein Vanhaezebrouck is his absolute priority, said the Dane with his performance in the Vanden stock stadium.
"I've been there already with Mike (Michael Verschueren, red) on samengezeten. Finding a new coach is our first priority. We are very hard working on it. But you have me also to give it time because it's only my first day," said Arnesen.
Manager Verschueren, that Arnesen Thursday flankeerde in the press room of the botanical garden 'Astridpark', outlined the profile where Arnesen looking for. "We want someone who is very dynamic, with the strategy of the club believes, and desperately wants to wager on the youth. He should also be in line with the style of the house. We do not play kick and rush football. And he must in the fast-changing world, to know how the correct way to communicate with you (media, editorial), the players, the staff."
The past few weeks, it was Phillip Cocu emphatically Anderlecht linked, but Arnesen stressed that between the two parties never negotiations. "Phillip is already ten years of continuous trainer and want to take the time to charge the batteries. After his resignation from Fenerbahçe, he wants to be nowhere on the battle before him back feeling. Anyway, he is for the summer will not be available."
With interimtrainer Karim Belhocine was Arnesen not yet around the table. "I have not spoken with him, and also not with the other members of the staff", explained the Dane. "But anyway, we are planning to have a good conversation."
On January 7, leaving Anderlecht on winter training to the Spanish Murcia. Local Arnesen to take the time to the left to get to know and to inform. "It would not be professional if I now would say that I have the players know. On the internship we will 24 hours a day together. This is a great opportunity to than analysis."
Together with Marc Coucke scares "flexible" Arnesen is not down
The Dane worked at renowned clubs like Ajax, PSV, Chelsea, Tottenham and Hamburg. At Sporting, in the eyes of Arnesen also an "absolute top club", he gets in the person of Marc Coucke with a flamboyant president with a strong opinion above. But that deters him not.
"I'm used to dealing with different presidents and club owners to work together. I am very flexible. In a club everyone has a role to play", said the 62-year-old Dane on Thursday at his official presentation in the Vanden stock stadium.

Ever feel like something is off? Finding life balance is the key to living well. Many people feel that they are really triumphing in one area of life, while another is falling apart. Others feel like they have it all, but still do not feel truly happy.
Kids, spouse, career, purpose, relaxation, health--it can feel like you are juggling so many balls. In this situation balls inevitably get dropped. And our culture tends to emphasize success in some areas while ignoring (or even criticizing) others. In our society careers are often our identity. We may be a financially successful culture, but we do not seem to be a really happy culture. Therapists, medications, and rehabs are becoming an accepted part of life.
2) It may give you a sense of purpose, if you are doing something you feel passionate about.
It is important to keep your work life in its place. Your work is not really your life...unless you're a nun. Many people fall into the trap of working hard and putting off living the good life until they have achieved enough or acquired enough money. The trap is: there is never enough.
The time to start living is now, in this very moment. Being present in the moment requires a high level of self awareness. Our culture is not good at this on a whole. You eat, drink, shop, work, etc. all to really avoid anything remotely close to introspection. You don't want to look in there--it is really dark and scary.
But being aware of your inner needs is critical to developing life balance. You must begin to use your internal compass to tell you when to play barbies with your child, take a nap, or pay attention to your spouse. It is easy for you to stay disconnected--isolation and independence are pillars of our society. Connecting requires a certain amount of vulnerability and openness. But bonding with others is a fundamental key to happiness.
It is important that you also truly connect to yourself. Even if you are alone most of the time, you are probably pretty disconnected to your inner world. When your inner compass is telling you it needs rest, your brain overrides it because you "should" go to the gym. Even if you end up relaxing, you are filled with guilt and cannot really enjoy yourself.
If you want a brownie, but make yourself have carrots instead, you are not even close to satisfied. You would be surprised at how trustworthy your instincts really are when all of the 'shoulds' are stripped away. For true life balance you must start listening to your inner voice and vow to stop 'shoulding' all over yourself.

RIP: Harvey H. Guthrie, Jr., seminary dean and rector
The Rev. Dr. Harvey H. Guthrie, Jr., sometime dean of the Episcopal Divinity School, Cambridge, Massachusetts, and retired rector of St. Andrew's Episcopal Church, Ann Arbor, Michigan, died on Dec.17in Oxnard, California. He had lived in retirement near Fillmore, California, since 1995.
Serving as the head of one of the Episcopal Church's leading seminaries from 1969 to 1985, a period of upheaval and change in the church and in higher education, Guthrie led in the creation of the Episcopal Divinity School from a merger of the Episcopal Theological School in Cambridge and the Philadelphia Divinity School, in the appointment to its faculty of ordained as well as lay women, and in sometimes controversial curricular innovation stressing individual student initiative based on experience and involvement in ministry.
His educational perspective was ecumenical. He was a leader in the founding of the Boston Theological Institute, a consortium of theological schools in the Boston area, in the bringing of the Jesuit Weston School of Theology into a shared-facilities relationship with EDS involving a joint library program and much joint teaching, and as a holder of many offices including the presidency of the Association of Theological Schools in the United States and Canada.
Guthrie also participated in a historic period in the life of the Episcopal Church as a deputy to its General Conventions from 1973 to 1982, as a leader in the movement for the ordination of women, as a participant in the deliberations leading to the 1979 revision of the Book of Common Prayer, and as a long-time advocate for the recognition of gay and lesbian unions and the ordination of openly homosexual members of the church. For many years, he chaired the council of deans of Episcopal seminaries.
In 1985, after 35 years as a seminary teacher and administrator, Guthrie accepted a call to be rector of St. Andrew's Church, Ann Arbor, Michigan. He saw his ten-year ministry there as practical application of his years of study of the church's biblical and liturgical heritage. He led in establishing the liturgy as the center of parish life and in the refurbishing of a 19th century building to fit current liturgical practice. At the same time, he presided over a parish much involved in community service and issues, a significant part of whose ministry was a daily meal program for all who would come. His commitment to ecumenism continued in Ann Arbor, and he was a leader both in relationships among the churches and in the founding of an interfaith association including Jews and Muslims and Buddhists as well as Christians.
After his retirement in 1995, he continued occasional preaching and teaching, and worked as a legal aid volunteer, counseling and representing claimants of Social Security and welfare benefits at appeals. In 2012, he was honored by the Diocese of Los Angeles by being appointed an honorary canon.
Guthrie's early contributions were as a teacher and scholar in biblical studies, particularly of the Hebrew Scriptures. He was the author of God and History in the Old Testament, Israel's Sacred Songs, and Theology as Thanksgiving: from Israel's Psalms to the Church's Eucharist, as well as numerous articles and reviews. He was an instructor at the General Theological Seminary, New York, 1953-58, and a professor at the school in Cambridge from 1958, continuing to hold his chair and teach after becoming its dean in 1969. He had been a visiting lecturer at Columbia University, Andover-Newton Theological School, and St. George's College in Jerusalem, a visiting scholar at Yale and at Göttingen University in Germany, and the Selwyn Lecturer in the Church in the Province of New Zealand. The Episcopal Divinity School honored him with the endowment of the Harvey H. Guthrie Professorship of Biblical Studies.
He was preceded in death by his wife of 70 years, Doris Peyton Guthrie, and their oldest son, Lawrence. He is survived by his three remaining children, Lynn, Stephen, and Andrew, and by three grandchildren, as well as by his brother, Jim.
The Episcopal Church's Burial Office and Eucharist will be celebrated at Trinity Episcopal Church, Fillmore, California, on Feb.17 at 10a.m. In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made to One Step a la Vez (http://www.myonestep.org/) and Trinity Episcopal Church (PO Box 306, Fillmore, CA 93016).

Q: How to move my OmniFocus data from old Mac to new Mac? How can I move my data entered into OmniFocus 2.12 on macOS from my old computer (or hard drive) to my new computer (or hard drive)?
Should I just locate and move a data file? If so, where is that data file stored, in what folder?
I am not using Apple's Migration Assistant. I want to do this move manually.

A: Quoth OmniGroup:

The database file now is in a sandboxed container. The easiest way to get to the file is by opening the backup folder through 'File' → 'Show Backups…'. The data file is in the same folder as the Backups folder.

May 23, 2017 – Orbita, Inc., a leading provider of voice-first software for connected home healthcare announced today a collaboration with ERT to research innovative new approaches to data procurement and management for pharmaceutical and device customers seeking to streamline clinical trials. The collaboration combines the advanced capabilities of ERT's EXPERT technology platform for clinical trial data collection, processing, and analysis with Orbita Voice, a first-of-its-kind solution for creating conversational applications using intelligent voice agents such as Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant.
"ERT is continually collaborating with clinical trial sponsors and technology experts to ideate and test the application of innovative technologies in clinical development," said Andrea Valente, executive vice president and chief development officer at ERT. "We're excited to work with Orbita on this solution and to give patients the power of voice ─ an important, emerging technology ─ to complete surveys, verify completion of care pathway tasks and report health concerns, all of which enables pharmaceutical researchers to move ahead in their clinical development programs quickly, and with confidence."
Orbita Voice is the first healthcare-centric solution designed to easily create and manage intelligent, conversational skills for voice-powered assistants such as Amazon Echo and Google Home. Clinical trial investigators and coordinators use Orbita Voice's intuitive tools to create interactive voice surveys and collect voice responses, and use built-in analytics to track user engagement and respond to user input.
Using the combined ERT and Orbita solution, clinical trial study coordinators can create and manage care plans by setting care goals, tasks, and rules over a specified timeline, including completion of daily pain assessment surveys, wellness tasks, or vitals measurements. Patients and family members can review and manage care tasks via voice as well as in mobile phone and web environments.
Nathan Treloar, Orbita president, says "We are thrilled to be working with ERT to bring next-generation technologies to the forefront for clinical trial sponsors and participants. ERT's leadership in the clinical trials industry and their creativity in blending Orbita Voice with the advanced capabilities of their own EXPERT technology platform make them an ideal partner to deliver transformative solutions to this market."
According to Harry Wang, senior director of research at Parks Associates, "Voice-based UI innovations have huge implications for the healthcare industry, particularly in areas where patient participation, interaction, and engagement is critical to the market success of digital health solutions and services." This collaboration between Orbita and ERT is a clear example of voice recognition technology's potential in healthcare and we expect many more use cases that incorporate voice UI to emerge."
At the end of 2016, 45% of U.S. smartphone owners reported using a voice-enabled personal assistant through an app or dedicated device and that figure rises to 63% of millennial smartphone owners.

The IPA World Congress is the highlight of the year within the IPA's schedule, and it is where the entire IPA family gathers to review the events of the previous year, and also determine the future direction for the association. The World Congress is hosted by a different National Section every year and usually takes place over a 6 day period consisting of a 3 day long conference, as well as 2 meetings of the International Executive Board.
The main agenda of the World Congress deals with motions that are proposed by both National Sections and the International Executive Board, which are then voted on by the representatives of each Section, as well as the International Executive Board having a collective vote. A new International Executive Board is elected every 4 years.
The World Congress is a prestigious IPA event which has been hosted annually since the association's inception in 1955, when the IPA founder Arthur Troop and other early pioneers worked untiringly to form the foundations of other National Sections. The event has now been hosted in over 30 countries in 64 years, and IPA Croatia will be the hosts for the 64th IPA World Congress in 2019.

New guidelines recommend people to start colorectal cancer screening at age 45
May 31 2018The American Cancer Society (ACS) and other preventive guideline organizations recommend that screening for colorectal cancer start for people of average risk at age 50. However, new data showing rising colorectal cancer incidence in people younger than 50 – and in some cases much younger than 50 – may argue for an earlier start to screening. A study published today the journal Cancer adds this new data to the model used as a basis for the ACS guidelines, showing what it calls a "favorable balance between screening benefits and burden" with screening starting at age 45, five years younger than currently recommended for both men and women of all races and ethnicities."Moving the start of screening back to age 45 for the average risk population is a considerable change," says Andrea (Andi) Dwyer, director of the Colorado Colorectal Screening Program at the University of Colorado Cancer Center and program director at the Colorado School of Public Health. "If everyone followed screening recommendations based on risk, we could cut colorectal cancer mortality by at least a half, with some estimates suggesting mortality would be cut up to 70 percent," she says. Dwyer is a co-author of the Cancer paper and works collaboratively with the organization Fight Colorectal Cancer.Every year in the United States, about 140,000 new cases of colorectal cancer will be diagnosed and over 50,000 Americans will die from the disease. Worldwide, almost 850,000 people will die of colorectal cancer annually.Because it is nearly impossible to ask large cohorts of people to start colorectal cancer screening at different ages and then follow the outcomes of these cohorts, determining the best age to start and stop screening, and the optimal frequency of screening, depends on sophisticated mathematical models. There are two common models, SimCRC (a collaboration between the University of Minnesota and Massachusetts General Hospital) and MISCAN (by Memorial Sloan-Kettering in New York City and Erasmus, MC in the Netherlands).The current study worked with the MISCAN model, adjusting the lifetime incidence of colorectal cancer to reflect the most current data, which includes higher incidence younger in the lifespan. The study then compared screening strategies starting at ages 40, 45 and 50 and stopping at ages 75, 80 and 85. The goal was to discover how many years of life were gained per colonoscopy.Related StoriesHow cell-free DNA can be targeted to prevent spread of tumorsNew protein target for deadly ovarian cancerStudy reveals link between inflammatory diet and colorectal cancer risk"Think of it this way," Dwyer says, "if screening started at age 20, you'd have maximum benefit but also a huge burden. It would be inefficient – we would find very few cases of cancer per colonoscopy. On the other hand, if screening started at age 60, you'd have minimal burden but also minimal benefit – we would be missing some cancers and finding others too late. The goal of screening guidelines is to find that sweet spot where there is the most benefit with the least burden."With new data, the MISCAN model finds the highest ratio of benefit-to-burden with colonoscopy screenings every 10 years starting at age 45 and ending at age 75.Of course, the implications of increasing colorectal cancer incidence among young people go beyond the need for adjusted screening recommendations. Perhaps an even bigger question is why incidence in this population is increasing in the first place."We used to think that young colorectal cancer was genetically different than the disease found in older patients. But now we're finding this might not always be the case. It's showing up younger and no one knows why," Dwyer says. "Researchers have explored the usual things – obesity, tobacco, alcohol – but none of those fully explain the increase. Now people are examining anything they can think of that could influence this early risk – sugar, tap water, lifestyle, even the microbiome. I think there's something very different for a 65-year-old who gets it versus a 25-year-old who gets it, but right now we just don't know what that thing is."Finding the factor or factors driving the development of colorectal cancer in young patients could be key in preventing the disease. Until then, Dwyer and colleagues offer the current recommendations with the intention of optimizing screening to find these cancers, even in younger patients, early enough to offer successful treatments.
