Lecture: Investing Tips for Young Adults
Financial Planning for Young Adults
Financial Planning for Young Adults (FPYA), developed in partnership with the CFP Board, is designed to provide an introduction to basic financial planning concepts for young adults. The FPYA course is organized across eight separate modules within a 4-week window. Topics covered include financial goal setting, saving and investing, budgeting, financial risk, borrowing and credit. Because financial planning is such a personal topic, you will be encouraged to define your own financial goals and objectives while we discuss concepts and provide tools which can be applied in helping you reach those goals. Within each module, you will view a combination of traditional lecture style videos along with video vignettes that introduce financial topics for discussion among participants. The video vignettes provide a unique and exciting component to this course. Each vignette introduces a real-world scenario where financial decisions must be made and financial planning concepts can be applied. You will be challenged to think critically about each scenario and decide how you might come to a resolution if ever faced with a similar situation. Finally, the course also includes material throughout which is focused on career opportunities in financial planning, including video interviews with actual CFP® professionals and other professionals working in this exciting and growing career area. The final module in the class is devoted to the topic of financial planning as a career.
Risk Management, Budget, Saving, Investment

Welcome, we have really been going over a lot of investment concepts pretty
quickly in this module and
it has been an overview of some of the basic investment terms to think about.
Thinking about what our risks are.
Looking at diversification,
as a strategy to help us start to minimize risk in investing.
And so then there's sort of, like,
what else can we possibly talk about in this short amount of time that we have?
And so, there's some things that I really want to make sure that we do cover in this
And then I also wanted to encourage you,
now that you have this basis to add to your knowledge as you go forward.
Read things.
Talk to people that have been investing and this is an opportunity for
you to build upon the framework that we've provided in this module.
So, what are things things that you need to start thinking about is how and
when do you start investing?
Because I really don't think you can be too young to start thinking
about the future.
And so, you have some huge advantages about taking advantage of it while you're
young and starting that process.
So, one of the things when you start thinking about this and
I challenge you to think about it today is to think about the cost of investing.
What we know from research is that how much people need to spend to
invest has a big impact on their long-term wealth building.
And so, we want to keep your costs down.
There's different ways that cause can add in to investing.
Sometimes there are fees to purchase investments,
either through commission or through loads or service fees and
then there are fees to manage things like mutual funds.
There maybe also fees to sell investments.
So you have to keep that in mind, as well.
So when you are doing investment choices, you want to be aware of what these fees
are and you want to compare them to other options that are similar to see that you
get the most bunk for your buck, that you are getting back the most of
your return that you can with less deducted for these different cost.
One place to start looking if you are just starting out, thinking about
these things is that we know again from research that no-load mutual funds with
low maintenance fee are often a best buy, so that some place to think about again.
The main thing is keep your cost down.
The other thing which we hit on if you skip that piece this course goes back to
at ease at diversification matters.
It will really is one of those things that is just sort of a key concept of investing
and I just wanted to reemphasize it even thought we're already talked about it.
Be especially wary of putting all your investments into your company.
So like buying a lot of shares in your employer, because, think about this.
If that company does really badly and goes under,
not only do you risk losing your investments, you've also lost your job.
It's a double whammy.
So that's kind of a red flag when somebody says to me, well,
I have all my investment dollars in the company I'm working at.
The government really likes to encourage people to save for the long-term and
to save for retirement.
And because of that, the government's created some tax advantage ways that you
can do this long-term savings.
You might have heard of things, such as 401(k) or
403(b) plans that are offered by employers.
These come with tax advantages.
And so even when you're working for a company that offers a retirement plan,
you want to gather information about that.
You want to find out what it is and
whether it's something you want to take advantage of.
One of the real things that works nicely with retirement plans to
an employer is that it sort of automatic investing.
Once you've make a decision that a certain amount will be deducted from your paycheck
and put into investment, then it happens every time your paycheck whirls around and
you don't have to keep the citing.
Yes, I want to keep investing.
I want to keep investing in my future and my future needs.
So, we've talked about this before about savings where putting things on automatic
can really make a difference and this is another example.
The other things that you might want to think about is the match from the employer
and we're going to come back to that in just a bit.
But right now, let's touch a little bit more on the tax advantages and
what is that really mean.
You may have heard somebody say, saving in a retirement plan is
a tax-deferred plan and let's look at what that exactly means.
Essentially, what it is and this is a real simple example, but
I think it helps illustrate it is let's say that you decided you wanted a hundred
dollars from your salary each week to go into a retirement plan at work.
If you did it in a tax-deferred plan,
which most US employer-sponsored retirement plans are,
then $100 of your salary goes straight to that retirement plan and that investment.
You don't have to pay taxes on it at that time.
Now, it's deferred.
You will get to pay taxes on it, but it's deferred.
But if you assume that you are at a 28% tax bracket, let's just say,
a combination of federal and state tax.
And you decide that, well, I don't want to do it through the retirement plan.
I'm going to take it home and I'm going to buy my own stocks.
That's fine, but be aware that then you're taking that $100 from your salary.
You're going to pay your taxes first and now you have $72 to invest rather than
the $100, if you had gone to the tax-deferred plan.
So that's an example of a tax-deferred saving plan is like as I said before,
the 401(k) or a 403(b) retirement plan.
A regular IRA is another example, but not through your employer.
Let's look at a little bigger example to see how this might add up over time.
Let's say, again, we've got money from salary, $5,000.
That's going to be invested yearly in a tax-differed plan,
you don't have to pay taxes up front.
So all of that money is going to be earning return and it's going to get
reinvested into that account, and more return will add up onto that.
Now at the end of 20 years, 28,000 would be have accumulated at a 9% return rate.
Now at this point in time, if we went to withdraw that money,
you would have to pay taxes on it.
Remember, I said, it was tax-deferred not tax free.
And if we assume that the tax rate stays the same at 28% from investment
year to year 20, then after taxes from the tax-deferred savings,
you'd have over 20,000.
Now on the non-tax deferred, if you had started out with 5,000 and
you would immediately pay taxes on that.
So at 28%, you'd really be investing 3,600.
Let that grow at 9% at the end of year 20, you'd have $12,000 over $12,000.
You've already paid taxes on this, so you don't have to pay taxes on it again.
So now, you have that 12,000.
You can see the difference.
It's a piece of the information that you need to consider when you're deciding
whether you want to invest your money through a tax-deferred retirement
plan or not.
The big assumption here, which probably a bunch of you are already thinking
is I said that your tax rate would stay the same in year 1 to year 20.
For many people, their tax rate may raise over 20 years.
So 20 years further along into your career, you might be making more and
be at a higher tax rate.
So, that's one of those things that we have to consider when we're making these
investment choices.
But now you know what it means when somebody says,
a tax-deferred savings plan.
Another thing to keep in mind when you use a tax-deferred or
any kind of a tax advantaged retirement plan through the US tax situation.
Keep in mind that you're making a commitment to leave your money in that
plan for a long time period.
If you make early withdrawals, there's likely to be high penalties.
And so you there's something you need to always understand the plan's rules,
the retirement plan's rules before you make any kind of investment.
I mentioned matching.
This is something really that you have to ask your individual employer about,
because it varies tremendously from company to company and
business to business, but some employers will match or
partially match an employee's contribution.
So in the example shown on the chart, let's say that somebody said for
every $1 you put into your retirement plan, we'll put $0.50.
You can see how that can grow over time.
Sometimes a company will put a one to one match for
every dollar you put in, they'll match it with a dollar.
That's 100% return, you won't do better anywhere else.
You need to ask questions about, is this available and for how much money?
Companies won't match your full salary, it's usually a certain percentage or
up to a certain amount.
So you need to know that, but you really want to keep this in mind,
because you don't want to be giving up this money that you could be getting,
essentially on top of your salary for free.
I want to mention one other thing,
which is these different things called Roth IRAs.
Roth IRAs are especially appealing sometimes to young adults in the US,
because they provide a tax advantage and they have a little bit more flexibility
than some other retirement plans that have tax advantage.
And again, it gets back to that thought that this is like a vehicle,
like a basket that holds your investments.
So you can still within a Roth choose your investments whether it's a mutual fund or
mix of bonds or mix of stocks, but
it will provide some different kinds of tax advantages.
You do end up with a Roth compared to some of the other tax advantages
paying taxes before you contribute to it.
But again, that could work out sometimes better for
some people than in other situations.
Mostly, what I want you to take away from here is that there are different
tax advantage plans that could be to your benefit for
long-term retirement saving in the US and it's worthwhile thinking about them and
deciding which ones make sense for you.
And to understand that these tax advantaged plans
have different kinds of investments within them and you still make choices about what
you want to put in them, and those are the two important things to think about.
Looking ahead, where are you in terms of saving for the long term and
saving for retirement?
And keep in mind, again, that compounding returns make a huge difference.
If we look at this chart, let's take a look and
pretend that somebody decides when they're at 22 years old that they're
going to save $2,000 of their income each year and they're going to do it for
9 years and they're going to invest it and they're going to get 9% return.
Now they only put away $18,000 of their income,
they essentially stop saving when they turn 31.
I'm not advocating that, but for the example with chart,
let's just look at that.
Because they started so young, they have lots and lots of time for that money to
compound and grow and they would have over 579,000 available to them at age 65.
Now what about somebody who doesn't start saving until their 31,
but they do put away $2,000 annually for over 35 years?
That's $70,000 of their earned income compared to the 18,000 on the other side.
They're still going to have a good sum
of money available to them at age 65 over 470,000.
But you can see, it's not as much even though more of their income when into it
than the person who started earlier and had more time for returns to compound.
Something to think about when you're starting to make decisions about what do
I want to spend on today's needs versus investing for the future.
We've really covered investing very quickly in this module, but
it's a place for you to kind of get some basic information and terms and
then start thinking about how it will fit into your life.
One of the things to do is to keep adding to that knowledge through readings and
listening to people, and talking to people, and
don't hesitate to think about talking to a financial professional.
There's lots of ins and
outs on different ways to invest at different points in time.
It doesn't have to be all that scary.
It's something that we can all do, but it doesn't hurt also to talk to somebody else
about it and sometimes having help from a professional can really make a difference.
Sometimes you can talk to people through your employer,
there may be other avenues available to you.
But we can also suggest that if you're choosing a financial professional,
that you want to think about who's a good match for you.
Not everybody is the best match for everybody else.
You want somebody that can think about your needs and
is use to working with somebody in your life stage, and all those kinds of things,
and somebody who communicates well with you.
You also want to ask that person about how they're going to charge.
What they're fee structure is and what that would look like?
If you'd like more information about how to choose a financial professional,
including a free downloadable interview guide, you can go to University of
Illinois Extension's website, Choosing a Financial Professional and take a look at
some of the types of questions you might want to ask when you're out there.
Looking for professional help and that wraps up our investment logic.

New Report Finds Protections Lacking for Women Workers in the Bangladesh Garment Sector
WASHINGTON – A study by the Fair Labor Association (FLA) and the Awaj Foundation finds that women in the ready-made garment manufacturing sector in Bangladesh do not receive legally required benefits, including paid maternity leave.
The study, "Maternity Rights and Childcare in Bangladesh: A Study of Workers in the Ready-Made Garment Sector," found that most women workers surveyed did not know their legal rights for paid maternity leave and that many factories represented in the survey do not adhere to the national legal requirements for paid maternity leave or onsite childcare facilities.
"Legal protections for women workers are meaningful only when they are implemented in the workplace and not just words on paper," said Sharon Waxman, president and CEO of the FLA. "Our study finds a perfect storm that undermines the rights of pregnant women and new mothers: a lack of awareness by women workers of their rights, the failure of factory management to offer legally required benefits, and instances of deception where facilities such as childcare centers exist in name only."
The report provides an analysis of data collected from 88 women workers ages 21 to 30 in Bangladesh's garment sector, drawn from 12 factories. The findings include:
Almost all workers are aware that factories offer maternity leave, but most are unaware of the amount of time off to which they are legally entitled.
Respondents reported that the workload and pressure to meet targets was the same for pregnant workers as others.
Although 75 percent of factories provided daycare services, as required by law, only 13 percent of respondents said these facilities were functional and most did not know eligibility requirements to enroll their children in these facilities.
The report finds pervasive discrimination on maternity rights and access to childcare in the ready-made garment sector, where female workers constitute 65 percent of the Bangladesh apparel workforce. The report was the topic of discussion at a multi-stakeholder convening and provides recommendations from that convening for companies, the government, and civil society organizations to ensure worker protections meet or exceed the legal requirements.
Recommendations in the report include organizing awareness campaigns and providing training to educate workers and factory managers appropriate accommodations for pregnant workers, including periodic sitting and rest periods. The report notes the importance of the workers' right to freedom of association and union advocacy when factory management is not in compliance.
"Bangladesh has instituted a number of legal protections for women workers in recent years," said Nazma Akter, founder and executive director of the Awaj Foundation. "But we have found that, too often, factories are operating in violation of these laws, or are failing to make workers aware of their rights under the law. In order for us to protect working mothers and the families that depend on them, we must hold companies accountable and educate workers of their rights, so these trends do not continue."
About the FLA
For the past 20 years, the Fair Labor Association has worked to protect and promote the rights of workers across the global supply chain through collaboration among business, civil society, and colleges and universities. FLA-affiliated companies and the factories that supply them commit to uphold high labor rights standards. The FLA conducts transparent and independent monitoring to identify the root causes of labor rights violations and work toward sustainable solutions.
About the Awaj Foundation
Awaj Foundation was established in 2003 out of the urgent need to protect workers' rights in the Ready-Made Garment (RMG) sector of Bangladesh. Founded by former child worker and labour organizer and FLA Board Member Nazma Akter, Awaj Foundation is driven by the vision of decent work, dignified lives and gender equity in the industrial sectors of Bangladesh.

Armor Holdings, Inc., Settles Foreign Corrupt Practices
Armor Holdings, Inc., Settles Foreign Corrupt Practices Act Claims with SEC, DOJ
Armor Holdings, Inc., recently resolved allegations that it violated both the anti-bribery and accounting provisions of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. Because of Armor's extensive cooperation with the government, it was able to obtain a non-prosecution agreement from the Department of Justice and a settlement from the Securities and Exchange Commission. Armor's experience is a timely reminder of the potential value of self-reporting, and provides a model to companies looking to avoid – or cope with – FCPA prosecution.
Haynes and Boone, LLP has extensive experience designing and implementing FCPA compliance programs, investigating FCPA allegations, and liaising with the Department of Justice and the Securities and Exchange Commission on behalf of clients.
Allegations of Bribery and Books-and-Records Violations
Armor Holdings, Inc. ("Armor"), is a manufacturer of military and law enforcement equipment. From 2001-2006, the time period relevant to the SEC and DOJ allegations, Armor Holdings Products, LLC ("AHP"), was a wholly-owned subsidiary of Armor located in the United States. Armor Products International, Ltd. ("Armor UK"), was a related company based in the United Kingdom. Armor and its subsidiaries conducted business in several countries around the world. In 2007, Armor was acquired by another company.
The SEC and DOJ alleged that, beginning in 2001, Armor UK entered into a sham consulting agreement with an independent third-party sales intermediary. The intermediary used his contacts – and a number of well-placed bribes – to help Armor secure body armor contracts with the United Nations. Armor UK allegedly paid inflated commissions to the intermediary from 2001-2006, knowing or deliberately disregarding the fact that at least part of the commissions would be used to bribe a U.N. procurement official for confidential competitor bid information. For example, in connection with the U.N.'s 2001 request for proposal on body armor, Armor UK allegedly submitted a signed, but blank, pricing sheet to the intermediary. The intermediary bribed a U.N. procurement official to learn about the competitors' bids and then completed and submitted the blank pricing sheet on Armor UK's behalf. The U.N. awarded Armor UK the contract. This same process was allegedly used in 2003 so that Armor UK could secure a renewal of the body armor contract. As a result of this scheme, Armor UK made 92 payments totaling more than $220,000 to the intermediary while collecting more than $1 million in profits.
Additionally, the DOJ and the SEC alleged that AHP, Armor's United States subsidiary, engaged in improper "distributor net" accounting practices. AHP allegedly sent customers invoices that included the price of the armor and the commissions paid to third-party sales intermediaries. But internally AHP created fictitious invoices that omitted the price of the commissions to include in its books and records. When the customers paid the invoices, overpayments resulted, and these overpayments were transferred through a series of non-commission accounts and ultimately distributed to sales intermediaries. Using this practice, AHP avoided recording more than $4.3 million in commission payments to intermediaries. Armor allegedly received notice that AHP's distributor net accounting practices violated generally accepted accounting principles from both an outside auditor and the comptroller of another Armor subsidiary, but failed to address the issue.
The DOJ Non-Prosecution Agreement
On July 13, 2011, the DOJ announced a non-prosecution agreement with Armor. According to the DOJ, a non-prosecution agreement was appropriate because Armor had conducted its own investigation of the misconduct, self-reported the results of that investigation to the DOJ, fully cooperated with the DOJ's investigation, and engaged in extraordinary remedial measures. Among other things, Armor terminated the employees engaged in the misconduct and most of the third-party intermediary relationships, conducted FCPA compliance training for its employees, and adopted new compliance policies and internal controls to prevent future FCPA violations. The DOJ also recognized that the alleged misconduct had taken place before Armor was acquired by another company. Still, the DOJ extracted $10.3 million in penalties from Armor, prohibited Armor from committing any crimes for two years, and demanded several undertakings with regard to FCPA compliance.
The DOJ-mandated compliance program, which warranted its own appendix to the non-prosecution agreement, includes several measures related to company policy and at least annual review of the company's FCPA compliance and training efforts. One key provision requires Armor to appoint an independent senior corporate executive to implement and oversee Armor's anti-corruption policies, standards, and procedures. Armor must also adopt confidential reporting mechanisms and disciplinary procedures.
Importantly, Armor is also required to adopt measures aimed at ensuring that third parties comply with the FCPA. Specifically, Armor must undertake and properly document risk-based due diligence of its business partners and agents. Armor must also inform partners and agents of its commitment to complying with the anti-bribery laws, its ethics policies, and its compliance standards for detecting and preventing bribery. Before entering new business arrangements, Armor must seek reciprocal agreements from partners and agents regarding FCPA compliance and, in appropriate circumstances, include FCPA compliance clauses in its contracts with third parties.
The non-prosecution agreement requires Armor to file periodic reports with the DOJ confirming its compliance with the agreement and detailing any misconduct related to the agreement for two years.
The SEC Settlement Agreement
The SEC also noted Armor's extensive cooperation with the government investigation, and it appears that Armor's efforts resulted in a somewhat lenient settlement. To resolve the SEC's bribery and accounting allegations, Armor agreed to pay $5.7 million in disgorgement, prejudgment interest, and civil penalties, and agreed to an injunction and other undertakings regarding FCPA compliance.1
Critical Lessons for Other Companies
The Armor allegations and the settlement highlight several important lessons for any company that does any business abroad. First, the DOJ has prosecuted FCPA cases for years, but as demonstrated here, the SEC has recently taken a strong interest in bringing FCPA cases under the anti-bribery and accounting statutes. In its press release, the SEC touted the fact that it has filed more than 32 FCPA cases since 2010. Second, FCPA compliance programs often focus on bribery of foreign officials, but the FCPA also covers officials of public international organizations such as the United Nations, the International Monetary Fund, and the Red Cross. Finally, this case emphasizes that companies cannot insulate themselves from FCPA liability by using agents or intermediaries. Indeed, the non-prosecution agreement and the settlement make it clear that companies may benefit from screening third parties for FCPA compliance before doing business with them and writing FCPA compliance clauses into their contracts.
The government agreements also highlight a number of other best practices for FCPA compliance, which include conducting regular compliance training, undertaking periodic reviews of anti-bribery policies, establishing an independent body to oversee FCPA compliance and training efforts, and developing mechanisms for confidential reporting. If any FCPA violations are reported, it is advisable that companies promptly and thoroughly investigate the allegations and, if there is merit to them, consider self-reporting to the DOJ and the SEC.

Women's Dignity: Enough is Enough! Sign Petition to the Advertisers on Rush Limbaugh show
Namaste. In a democracy, difference of opinions, debates and discussions are important; they strengthen it. However, when all limits are crossed, one has to say "Enough is Enough" and take action. Such a moment has come with regards to Rush Limbaugh. Irrespective of one's political beliefs, Rush has transgressed all limits of decency when he called George Town Law student, Sandra Fluke a slut and prostitute on his nationally syndicated radio talk show and continued his foul mouthed attack on her for three days. And what was Ms. Fluke's sin? She dared to testify in font of Senate subcommittee in favor of a proposed rule that the insurance companies should be required to cover women's contraceptives! She was denied the opportunity to testify in front of a House committee, which was made up of all males only.
Rush Limbaugh went over the edge on the third day of his vile campaign when on his radio talk show he asked Ms. Fluke to video tape her having sex and post it on the Internet so that he and others could watch it! Erroneous and intentionally misguided premise was that the tax payers/ government was going to fund the cost of contraceptives. Even if it were so, would you want to see your mother/sister/daughter/wife's sexual activities broadcast on the Internet? And this from a man, who is OK with men using insurance covered Viagra!
Because of tremendous outrage across the country and intense pressure on Rush's advertisers, some 140 advertisers and sponsors have either suspended their advertisement on his show or dropped him like a hot potato (pun intended).
Please sign the petition here: {http://act.credoaction.com/campaign/limbaugh_appalling/index2.html} ( or left click with mouse on a highlighted area in the petition below and press Control key at the same time; a link will appear- click on it) and circulate it among your contacts; if you believe in decency in public discourse, act now! Remember, this is not a question of one party against the other or whether the proposed rule is good or bad, this is about dignity of women everywhere.
Rush Limbaugh is under intense pressure with more than 140 advertisers/sponsors dropping him. He deserves to be out of public space for his day in, day out sexist, xenophobic, bigoted and hate filled diatribe on airwaves. Please sign the petition and circulate it to your friends.

Rush Limbaugh's remaining advertisers: Fujitsu, Lifelock and Lear Financial
Our momentum in the campaign against Rush Limbaugh is generating impressive results.
Over 444,000 other CREDO Action members have sent the message to Rush's advertisers not to fund his vile attacks on women. But we can't take our short-term victory for granted. National advertisers Fujitsu, Lifelock, and Lear Financial are still supporting the show. And some of the advertisers who merely "suspended" their ads may return once the controversy dies down.
Help us get to 500,000 activists calling on advertisers like Fujitsu, Lifelock and Lear Financial to pull their support from Rush Limbaugh. Click here to automatically sign the petition.
Over 140 companies1 have pulled their advertising dollars from the Rush Limbaugh show. In fact the national advertising exodus has been so devastating, that Rush Limbaugh has had to resort to filling his advertising slots with free public service announcements and even minutes of dead air at some points.
And just yesterday, Premiere Networks, the subsidiary of Clear Channel that distributes the show, told local affiliates it was pausing national ads for two weeks, though they were free to air ads from two companies remaining loyal to Rush Limbaugh: Lifelock and Lear Financial.2
Help us get to 500,000 activists calling on Rush's remaining advertisers to pull their support from his show. Click here to automatically sign the petition.
Rush Limbaugh is clearly feeling the pressure of our activism, and the emails we have received from major companies like Geico and Netflix after receiving petitions with your signature show that your activism truly does work. Both companies have instructed their advertising companies to ensure that their ads do not air on the Rush Limbaugh Show in the future.
But the campaign is far from over.
If we can't keep up the pressure on his advertisers, Rush Limbaugh will bounce back. He has been the top commercial radio host in the country since 1991. The best way to hold Limbaugh accountable for his extreme, inappropriate, and offensive comments is to ensure that all of the remaining advertisers on his show stop supporting his attacks on women. Not just now but permanently.
Help us get to 500,000 activists calling on advertisers to pull their support from Rush Limbaugh not just for now but permanently. Click here to automatically sign the petition.
In the fight against the Susan G. Komen Foundation we proved that when women and the men who support them fight back against those who would restrict women's access to healthcare, we can win.
Because of your pressure there was dead air on Rush Limbaugh's Show this week where normally there would have been an advertisement. The momentum is on our side, but we need to keep the pressure on and ensure that the remaining advertisers drop their support of his show and advertisers that already withdrew their support don't return once the media focus subsides.
When CREDO sends a national retailer a petition with over 400,000 signatures on it asking that they stop supporting attacks on women, we get their attention. Help us get to 500,000 and we'll send your signature to the remaining national advertisers, to local advertisers who continue to support the program and to national advertisers who have only suspended their spots.
Please sign the petition now asking advertisers to permanently pull their support from the Rush Limbaugh Show. Click here to automatically sign the petition.
When women are attacked, CREDO responds. Together we are making a difference.
Thank you for your continued activism.

Watch Police Chase Heroin Dealer At 100mph Through Exeter City Centre
The drug dealer attempted to escape the police before throwing a £3,100 package out of the window
This shocking footage shows a drug dealer driving dangerously to escape police at high speeds before throwing £3,100 worth of heroin out of his car window.
Alan Johnson, 60, narrowly missed oncoming cars and reached speeds of 100mph while being chased through busy commuter roads and narrow lanes in Exeter, Devon.
Officers gave up the chase after seeing him throw a package out of the window and returned immediately to the spot, where they found the heroin in a tennis-ball sized lump.
It was wrapped up in a single plastic ball but contained 310 ready-to-sell £10 deals. Johnson, of Exeter, denied possession of heroin with intent to supply and was found guilty within minutes by a jury at the city's crown court. He had already admitted dangerous driving.
Judge Erik Salomonsen adjourned sentence for a probation report and granted him bail.
During a two-day trial the jury watched CCTV of a chase which started when police pulled up next to Johnson outside Sainsbury in Alphington Road, Exeter on August 17 last year.
He drove off at speed, drove over a zebra crossing on the wrong side of the road, narrowly missing an oncoming car, and took to the back road leading to Matford.
The pursuit continued towards the Bascule Bridge over the Exeter Canal but he pretended to stop before they reached it. He waited until one of the two police officers had got out of their car to approach him before he reversed suddenly, did a u-turn across the traffic in Bridge Road, and headed back the way he had come.
The police gave up the chase after he turned onto the link road heading towards the A38 and Kennford and accelerated to 100mph.
The package contained 310 individual wraps of heroin with a total weight of 24.2 grams had a street value of £3,100.
Johnson claimed he fled the police because he was suffering from anxiety rather than because he had anything to hide.
He said that during the pursuit he remembered he had a small bag of cannabis in his pocket and threw it out of the window.
He said he knew nothing about the heroin which was found at the same location.
Watch the whole chase above.

Afghans and Australians work for a secure Uruzgan
The last week of January saw Afghan National Army (ANA) soldiers and their Australian mentors remove significant quantities of explosives, ordnance and weapons from insurgents located within the Baluchi Valley area of Uruzgan Province.
This included an insurgent bomb-making facility, which was discovered on 25 January and contained more than 400kg of explosives and 20 pre-prepared Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs).
Numerous smaller cache finds also removed insurgent weapons and bombs from the area.
Mentoring Team Leader Lieutenant Alex Davidson believed the cache finds had come at a pivotal time, as the Afghan winter gave way to the warmer "fighting season".
"We also located six rocket propelled grenades, a mortar, rocket propelled grenade motors, detonator cords and electrical IED components. All of these are components for IEDs so we've hit them [the insurgents] where it hurts." Lieutenant Davidson said.
The operations were conducted in the vicinity of the newly established Patrol Base Samad in the Baluchi valley.
This valley was historically an area of significant insurgent activity and the discovery of the IED-making facility was aided by the greatly increased local influence provided by the new base
Another mission conducted by the ANA and their Australian partners during the final week of January, uncovered significant quantities of aluminium powder, a key component used in the production of explosives.
Other recent cache finds included significant quantities of rockets, munitions and weapon systems.
Commander of Joint Task Force 633 Major-General Angus Campbell said, "These latest finds not only disrupt the efforts of the insurgents, but also help indicate the growing capabilities of the ANSF".
"The Afghan National Army and their Australian mentors have been able to take the information provided to them by local sources and develop a targeted operation that will certainly affect future insurgent activities," said Major-General Campbell.

Q: Git checkout: get the same behavior as SVN revert I noticed that SVN revert doesn't EXACTLY behave the same way as GIT checkout...:
SVN case:
If I have a SVN remote repository that I checkout on my computer, and make modifications on a file locally. While I do this, someone commits new changes on that same file on the server.
Now I want to revert my changes on my local repository. I do
svn revert [file]

And this gives me the file in the exact same state as the one I had on my computer when I checked out the remot repository.
GIT case:
Now With GIT. I clone a remote repository, do some changes on a file, someone pushes some commits that affects that same file, and I want to do
git checkout -- file

This is gonna give me the version of the file modified by that someone mentioned earlier, not the file I cloned at the beginning of this user story.
Now, I guess I could do:
git checkout [commit number of the remote version I cloned] -- file

But I find it "tedious / vexing", knowing that I just want to revert my file to the local version of my repository.
So my question is:
Is there a way to specifically checkout a file to the version I had on my local repository when I last pulled the remote repository? something like:
git checkout local -- file

?
Thanks in advance for your precious comments & answers =)

A: If I understand what you're asking correctly, what you need to remember is that git is configured (usually) for the "master" branch to track the remote/upstream master.
What you probably want to do is create a local branch right after you clone the repository: git checkout -b my_branch — and do your work here, so its unaffected by changes upstream, but these changes will still be pulled into your local master branch.
You can then git rebase your changes onto the current master, when you're ready, at your convenience.

With Yuel's brains and Lars's brawn, they form a dynamic duo and aim for Classmancers' pro scene. But first, they must conquer the competitive scenes of middle school and high school.

Essairyn had never felt truly alive on Earth. It felt like something was missing ever since she was born, but even after nearly 20 years of mundane living, she could never pinpoint what this or the emptiness in her heart was. Suddenly, she awakens in a grandiose, primordial forest and encounters both demons and spirits in a parallel world called Sol'h'meyr. She befriends, in particular, a sassy fox-spirit named Akari who just reincarnated after three millennia. Essairyn is an abnormal human with elemental powers, and Akari is being chased by those of her dark past. Together, they set out on an adventure in a world of magic, danger, mystery, and intrigue. But this not a game. That simple adventure is actually the modest beginnings in a chain of disruptions that tear even the dimensional fabric of time and space. No one, not even Essairyn, was who she thought she was. And not even the gods can change the destiny of the universes... A single promise shook eternity's existence. — Fantasy || Adventure || Romance || Action || Mystery || Drama || Science Fiction — The My World To Live (MWTL) series, the alternative short name is Canaan, is comprised of three books symbolically named My World, To Live, and My World To Live. Two years prior, the entire story had been planned and detailed out from start to finish before actual writing. Thus, updates might be slow after a period of time due to real life matters, but the story will never be dropped. While the genre is largely Fantasy, the book is comprised of many other elements including a School Life (Magic Academy) story portion. MWTL has a lot of scattered symbolism and allusions, hence, the mystery aspect. The science fiction elements progressively become more pronounced, and the slow romance is a late bloomer. The female lead is strong and independent, and her backstory and identity unravel as drivers of the plot. Expect lots of action/fighting throughout and scattered philosophical and psychological themes arising. It's a human journey to find the essence of one's living and purpose. What kind of world do I wish to live for? Any feedback is greatly appreciated. I hope to share the journey with you~! **The book cover is an original artwork by Chryiss please don't reuse elsewhere.

Q: Sort table columns with angularjs in non-angular application Ok, suppose I have a table

        Name	Phone

        John	2222222

        Mark	3333333

        Alice	1999999

That was rendered by non-angularjs app.
All the examples I see on the web suggest that I have a controller and a scope and all the angularjs stuff, but what if I want to deal with existing data?
One time I have this headache I've surrendered and re-wrote everything to be an angularjs app.
There is a major issue with: it's not indexed by the search engines. Or at least not by all of them (I know google is super-smart, but that's only google).
What if I want to use angularjs power and have this existing data? How do I bind those values of the table and make it sortable?

A: This is interesting and I think it is useful when we want to give old web application power of angularjs.
The following code is nothing more than my idea without careful consideration.
In Html

            Name</href>	Phone

            {{mgrtable.rows[0].name}}	{{mgrtable.rows[0].phone}}

            {{mgrtable.rows[1].name}}	{{mgrtable.rows[1].phone}}

            {{mgrtable.rows[2].name}}	{{mgrtable.rows[2].phone}}

In javascript
angular.module('myapp', [])
    .factory('ManagerTable', function(){
        return function(){
            this.rows = [];
            var desc = {
                name: true, phone: true
            }
            this.add_row = function(name, phone){
                this.rows.push({name: name, phone: phone});
            }
            this.sort = function(key){
                var _desc = desc[key];
                desc[key] = !_desc;
                this.rows.sort(function(a, b){
                    var vala = a[key],
                        valb = b[key];
                    if (_desc){
                        return vala > valb ? 1: -1;
                    }else{
                        return vala > valb ? -1: 1;
                    }
                });
            }
        };
    })
;

function myctrl($scope, ManagerTable){
    $scope.mgrtable = new ManagerTable();
}

Demo jsfiddle is here.
When you want to add some feature about the table data, all you have to do is adding the function of ManagerTable. Although I know html is not clean, I think this way could keep the MVC principle and angular-way.
Please let me know what you think.

I don't think that many of us in Sonoma Countyy question the reality of climate change. Its disastrous effects were made too painfully evident by the unprecedented size, speed, and destructiveness of our recent wildfires. Although the current administration refuses to acknowledge and confront the issue, we understand that we are in a race against time to develop renewable energy sources and drastically reduce our consumption of fossil fuels. Many of us, as individuals, work conscientiously to reduce our emission of greenhouse gases (GHG). But each municipality has a much bigger carbon footprint than any individual resident or family. Since being elected to the Healdsburg City Council, I've made reducing our city's GHG emissions a high priority. Happily, the Council has stepped up to the plate and taken many measures to reduce GHG.
In the next few days, Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) contract crews will be working in Santa Rosa, Fort Ross, Annapolis and Monte Rio to conduct accelerated wildfire safety inspections of substations using helicopters.

California State Agencies Free To Delete Emails After Legislators Kill Retention Bill
By Wes Venteicher, SACRAMENTO BEE
https://www.sacbee.com/news/politics-government/the-state-worker/articl…
California state agencies will be able to keep deleting emails and other documents as soon as officials see fit after legislators killed a records retention bill on Thursday.
Assembly Bill 2370 would have required the agencies to preserve records for at least two years, applying the same standard California imposes on cities and counties.
The Senate Appropriations Committee, chaired by Sen. Anthony Portantino, D-Burbank, kept the bill from advancing to a vote in the full chamber, effectively quashing it without explanation or debate.
The bill, introduced by Assemblyman Marc Levine, D-Greenbrae, received unanimous support in the Assembly in May.
"The two-year retention standard is good enough for cities and counties, so you've got to scratch your head and wonder why the state isn't willing to embrace that standard," Levine said in an interview Friday.
State agencies set their own retention schedules, which range from a few months to decades depending on agency and record type.
The schedules are posted in a database on a Secretary of State website.
Trade and advocacy groups including the California News Publishers, the First Amendment Coalition and Californians Aware, along with the nonprofit Consumer Watchdog, had supported the proposal.
"AB 2370 would have ensured Californians have access to information about the workings of their government," Carmen Balber, Consumer Watchdog's executive director, said in a news release. "The irony is, Sen. Portantino used the most un-democratic tactic to do so, shelving the bill without explanation or a vote."
Levine, who campaigned against Insurance Commissioner Ricardo Lara this year, introduced the retention proposal in the wake of a scandal involving Lara.
Lara met with insurance industry executives who had donated thousands of dollars to his campaign in 2019 despite a campaign pledge not to do so,
The Sacramento Bee reported that year. Consumer Watchdog requested records related to Lara's donor meetings under the Public Records Act, and when Lara refused to provide some of the records, sued for them in 2020. In 2021, the Insurance Department introduced a policy that would have required deleting most emails after 180 days.
Amid public scrutiny and after some employees raised concerns about losing important emails, the department withdrew the policy.
A spokesman said the policy was not "workable in implementation." Levine said similar proposals had been vetoed in the past.
When asked why he thought his proposal was pulled this year, he blamed a "culture of deletion" in state agencies. Levine lost the Democratic primary to Lara. His term in the Assembly ends in December.
