Trio Named To D2CCA Baseball All-Region List
ROMEOVILLE, Ill. – Seniors Genesis Hillard (Cincinnati, Ohio) and Colin Kaucher (Toledo, Ohio) and sophomore Tim Zeller (Mount Vernon, Ohio) were each named to the D2CCA All-Midwest Region team in voting conducted by sports information directors.
Hillard and Kaucher had each been voted First Team All-Great Midwest last week by the league's coaches, while Zeller was a second team selection.
Hillard batted .332 in 55 starts this spring, clubbing seven homers with 57 RBIs and 17 doubles. He walked 32 times, finishing with a .440 OBP, and also slugged .540 while scoring 58 runs and stealing 10 bases. He finished with 18 multi-hit games on the year and 12 multi-RBI games, including three games with at least five RBIs. He earned a pair of G-MAC Player of the Week awards during the spring as well.
For his career, Hillard finished with a .305 batting average in 150 games played, knocking in 108 runs with 32 doubles and scoring 112 runs.
Kaucher graduates as one of the most decorated players in ODU's Division II era with a lifetime .378 average, .457 OBP and .552 slugging percentage. In 195 games, he had 19 homers, 184 RBIs, 49 doubles, nine triples and stole 20 bases while walking 90 times against just 96 strikeouts. Kaucher was a preseason All-American this year after earning a pair of All-American honors last spring, as well as Academic All-American accolades.
This spring, he batted .404 with seven homers, 52 RBIs, 16 doubles and 61 runs while also stealing 11 bases. He tallied a .484 OBP and slugged .615. Kaucher finished with 25 multi-hit performances and 14 multi-RBI games, and he also threw out 16 would-be base stealers this season (47.1 percent).
After working primarily out of the bullpen last year, Zeller earned a starting role on the infield this spring and excelled at the plate, hitting .329 with eight homers and 41 RBIs. He also doubled seven times and stole 14 bases without being caught while scoring 40 runs.
On the mound, Zeller finished with a 4-1 record with eight saves in 16 appearances, striking out 28 in his 28.1 innings of work. In 10 of his outings, he pitched more than an inning, and he now sports a 9-2 record in 36 career appearances.
Ohio Dominican finished the season with a 32-23 record and a 22-10 mark in G-MAC play, recording the most conference wins this spring. ODU has won at least 32 games in consecutive years after finishing as the Midwest Region runner-up in 2018.

Makeup can help you look your best and give you confidence, but not if it gets on your clothes. Let Tide help get rid of makeup stains and take care of your garments so you can always look your best.
Pour Tide Ultra Stain Release Liquid directly onto the makeup stain, making sure to completely cover it. Then, use a soft-bristled toothbrush to help spread the detergent into the garment's fibers or rub the fabric together gently. Let it sit for 5 minutes.
Your beauty routine may consist of various creams and makeup, but chances are, you're likely to encounter other stains, too. Looking beautiful may come at a cost, but there is no reason you should have unsightly stains from lipstick, mascara or liquid foundation.


Ask your doctor or pharmacist, "Is it safe to drive on this medication?"
The link between alcohol consumption and road traffic accidents has long been established. However, increasingly evidence suggests that some prescribed and some over-the-counter medications can also impair driving ability. In a recent survey it was reported that 17% of motorists involved in traffic accidents in the UK were found to have traces of medication in their blood-stream; among those medicines identified were anti-depressants and antihistamines.
Which medication can impair driving ability and increase the risk of traffic accidents?
How can I find out more about whether my medication will impair my ability to drive?
Warning: May cause drowsiness. If affected do not drive or operate machinery.
The words 'if affected' in this warning label indicate that it is your responsibility to decide whether your driving performance is likely to be affected by any side effects to your medicine that you are experiencing. Never drive if you feel that your medication has impaired your driving; for example, if you feel drowsy, confused or otherwise impaired.
In addition, the label may also advise you to 'Avoid alcoholic drink'. Remember that alcohol can often make the sedative effects of some medication much worse. Take care to ensure that you are aware if your medication carries this warning.
If you are a driver, always ask your doctor or pharmacist: "Is it safe to drive on this medication?" It is sometimes possible for the doctor to prescribe an alternative medicine which will impair your driving ability much less. Always report any side effects you experience while taking medication to your pharmacist or doctor. Many side effects are mild and will resolve themselves in the early stages of treatment. Some side effects will persist for longer and may require your doctor to change your prescription to an alternative treatment. If you are taking any medication, whether prescribed by your doctor or purchased from your pharmacist, check if it is safe to drive.


These sectoral innovation councils will drive sectoral innovations.
"Identify domain experts from industry, government research laboratories, academic institutions from all sectors and create Sectoral Innovation Councils." This was Advisor to the Prime Minister On Public Information Infrastructure and Innovations, Sam Pitroda's advice to the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) on the occasion of "Decade of Innovation--India@year1" an event jointly organized by CII and the National Innovation Council (NInC).
These sectoral innovation councils will drive sectoral innovations, be it in industry, in academia, in R&D labs or in any part of the society, said Pitroda. He also emphasized the need for recruiting young professionals in every sectoral council for innovating, translating and implementing innovation initiatives.
The second agenda for CII, suggested by Pitroda, was to transform existing industry clusters into innovation clusters by mentoring, networking with knowledge and financial sectors, training in elements of innovation such as industrial design, intellectual property rights (IPR) and technology.
The third agenda for CII, he suggested, was to create "Innovation Czars" in industry. Each industry should create a position of Innovation Leader who would anchor industry's in-company innovation initiatives. He emphasized the need for scouting and promoting "local innovation heroes" so that people could relate to them as role models.
The fourth agenda for CII, Pitroda suggested, was to create training materials and modules on innovation. CII should work with Delhi University, MS University in Vadodara and others to create various modules of such training materials which would cater to various levels of human resource.
The fifth agenda, he said, was for CII to create more and more innovation and design schools in the country. "Although we have many design schools in India but the quality of such schools needs continuous upgradation," he said.
Mr Pitroda has requested CII's Innovation Council, chaired by Dr. Naushad Forbes, to make a detailed presentation to NInC in order to work together towards a common goal.


One holds the device in a manner similar to the way a wood-worker holds a sanding block. The palm rests upon the "ball" in the foreground, with the fingers extending forward. The middle digit is placed upon the spiked cog, while the pointing-finger and the ring-bearing finger sit on the studded levers on either side. The thumb and small-finger rest comfortably on the side of the cylinder, helping to grip the contraption. The "Bug", as the Professor calls it, is slid about upon a table top-thusly controlling a mobile indicator upon the Telecalculograph's display. Push the device away from one's self, and the arrow "moves" towards the top of the viewing window. When the arrow has been positioned appropriately so that it is pointing at the desired "item" on the glass, the user pushes down upon the various levers to elicit his desired effect. Turning the wheel in the center produces an action similar to turning a page in a book, or cranking a kinetoscope.
It's not very ergonomic, but it actually reminds me of Jake von Slatt's proposed design for a steampunk mouse: something that looks like a phrenological device, used to measure perversion by measuring the hands.


Stretching across the northern region of Western Australia and into the Northern Territory, the Kimberley was one of the earliest settled parts of Australia, with the first arrivals landing about 40,000 years ago. This stunning area of Australia consists of ancient, steep-sided mountain ranges with sandstone and limestone gorges and steep ridges making it hard to transverse on foot, but an amazing sight from the air. The Eastern region of the Kimberly is flatter with dry tropical grasslands often used for cattle ranching. Take in heli-fishing, boat cruising on the many rivers or wildlife spotting with saltwater crocodiles, water buffalo, wallabies and an abundance of birdlife on offer. Visit ancient Aboriginal rock art sites and discover the significance of this area to their culture through their art and dreamtime stories.
The Northern Territory occupies about one sixth of Australia's total land mass, with a population of about 200,000, and is known around the world for its iconic natural treasures, including the World-Heritage-listed national parks of Kakadu and Uluru-Kata Tjuta (Ayers Rock) and an ancient Aboriginal culture.

Top 5 K-Fashion Moments of 2015
December 31, 2015 /in Fashion /by Alejandro Abarca
Fashion is always an important part in the Hallyu wave. It not only inspires fans around the globe but it also sets trends and makes an impact in Korea's fashion industry and even abroad. Without a doubt, Korean fashion in 2015 had amazing moments. From tour wardrobes to dramas with amazing styling, we couldn't miss the opportunity to give you our top five K-fashion moments of 2015.
Red Velvet went retro for "Automatic"
The '70s had a revival this year, from bell bottoms to trumpet sleeve blouses, Red Velvet surprised us in their music video for "Automatic" with amazing styling influenced by this particular era in fashion. The girls' stylist not only incorporated vintage clothing, but they also added modern pieces to the styling like Moschino by Jeremy Scott's Barbie inspired collection. The whole look from head to toe (even their hair was perfect!) was very successful, it didn't feel like a costume, it looked very fresh and modern but still very reminiscent of the '70s.

GOT7 went from boys to men with "If You Do"
GOT7 is one of the most fun and distinctive boy groups in K-pop today. Through their short but successful career, they managed to stay with their innocent, young, and fresh look. But when it came to the music video for "If You Do," the boys looked like sexy men, some might say even look like men they'd like to see on websites similar to teeni.xxx (https://www.teeni.xxx/). With "If You Do," GOT7 took on a mature sound and also look, which the stylists executed very well. They kept the boys in beautiful fitted suits that had different textures and prints combined. Those dancing scenes with the all black outfits made the boys look extremely sexy. And the best part of the styling are Bam Bam's chokers, they look incredible and very edgy. Yes, we have seen this look on many other idols and you might ask why we featured it in the top K-fashion moments. Well, that's simply because it marks GOT7's path into becoming the sexy men that they are.
CL & 2NE1's return at the 2015 MAMA Awards
For this years MAMA Awards, we where only expecting CL to perform. When it was CL's turn on stage, no one could take their eyes off her. Her sexy ensemble not only looked fierce, but it matched perfectly with her ferocious persona and her warm-up American single "Hello Bitches." Her dragon embelished red pants and bomber jacket paired with that mesh unitard and the infamous Alexander Wang creepers she also wore in the music video for "Hello Bitches" made an incredible outfit. Moreover, Parris Goebel and her ReQuest crew just added to the incredible girl power of the performance. But that wans't all, we weren't ready for what was next. CL dissapeared from stage and one by one Dara, Minzy, Park Bom, and finally CL appeared again in matching military outfits marking the return of 2NE1 to the stage. All the girls looked flawless and it was and incredible performance full of female empowerment. It was surely an epic moment, it felt like we were watching the Spice Girls return.
Irene Kim becomes an 'It' Girl
Irene Kim is a Korean-American model, host, and entrepeneur who gained recognition in several fashion media outlets around the world, naming her the next fashion 'It' Girl. Her presence in every fashion week around the globe and her fun personality seen in her YouTube show "K-Style" made everyone pay close attention to her. She first started to appear in many street style blogs, and when people started finding out more about her, the obssession with her was instant. Irene is not only knowledagble in fashion, but she's also an expert on Korean beauty products, that made her land a job as the global embassador of Estee Lauder. She appeared in ALDO's fall/winter campaign and walked many fashion shows around the world, but the most special and iconic was the CHANEL Resort show in Korea. Moreover, at this year's KCON, she had a panel about beauty and fashion trends, where many fans and even KultScene staff members were able to meet her. Irene's distinct style has made her an influencer, which could be lucrative for her as brands will approach her to promote their products (click here for more information if you own a brand and are wondering how influencers could help you). She will be the go-to person when everybody wants to know all the new trends that are coming from Korea, from her fashion choices to her inspiring beautiful rainbow hair, Irene is part of our K-fashion moment for this year. We can't wait to see what's next for her in 2016.
BIGBANG "MADE" World Tour Wardrobe
Hedi Slimane's (a french fashion designer, now creative director of Saint Laurent) influence in fashion is undeniable, not only did he challenge the norms in men's tailoring and create a slim fit for suits, but thanks to him we have skinny and low waisted jeans (his creations in his time as creative director for Dior Homme). Why are we talking about him? Well, the BIGBANG members are no strangers to wearing SAINT LAURENT, or any pieces that have been inspired by Hedi Slimane. For the whole tour the boys sported skinny jeans with classic chelsea boots, slim fit blazers, animal prints, and bomber jackets, that one can't deny that their whole look for the tour had a lot to do with Hedi's influence. BIGBANG, being one of the most influential groups in K-pop, had all their fans wanting to emulate their looks. You could see during the tour how the fans dressed like them to attend their concerts. And yes, the fans might not have been wearing Saint Laurent or Versace or Neighborhood like the band did on stage, but it was a very easy look to copy. The complete looks are very sharp and modern, and gave BIGBANG a very sexy and chic attitude for their "MADE" World Tour.

Perfect Styling on "She Was Pretty"
Every drama in Korea has really good stylists. The viewer can't help but feel inspired by the outfits each character wears, but on "She Was Pretty," the whole cast was styled to perfection. I've never seen a drama where there was so much attention to detail in the styling. The main characters played by Park Seo-Joon, Super Junior's Siwon, Hwang Jung-Eum, and Koh Jon-Hee, had very distinct looks that matched perfectly with each character's personality.
Park Seo-Joon had the typical flower boy outfits, but they styled him in ways we hadn't seen before, like wide legged pants with a skinny blazer, or a trench coat with a puffy vest over, and the best part was his signature scarfs. On another note, Hwang Jung-Eum's styling started very tomboyish and she grew into loving fashion; her style evolved into a boyfriend chic look. The wide pants she always wore created a statement, and who will forget the white socks and black Dr. Martens dress shoes that made Siwon's character call her Jackson (because of Michael Jackson of course).
Siwon's character had the most avant-garde pieces in the bunch, his statement pieces were always amazing jackets and his hats. His styling matched perfectly and created a great contrast of looking tough on the outside while being one of the nicest characters we have seen in a Korean drama. However, Koh Jon-Hee's character was my favorite in the cast. The way they styled her with men's dress shirts that made it look like she was wearing an off shoulder blouse was incredibly smart. The drama's stylist must have had a lot of fun coming up with outfits for her character. All those cute chokers she wore were to die for, and who could forget all the mini skirts that became her character's fashion statement.
Even the secondary characters were styled always on point. A character in particular that had always over the top styling and sometimes it even looked trashy but it completely worked was Hwang Suk-Jun's character. I couldn't wait to see her each episode just to see what crazy look she was going to wear, and once again, it matched perfectly with her personality.

Over 80% of all breach victims learn of a compromise from third-party notifications, not from internal security teams. In most cases, adversaries have been rummaging through your network undetected for months or even years.Incident response tactics and procedures have evolved rapidly over the past several years. Data breaches and intrusions are growing more complex. Adversaries are no longer compromising one or two systems in your enterprise; they are compromising hundreds. Your team can no longer afford antiquated incident response techniques that fail to properly identify compromised systems, provide ineffective containment of the breach, and ultimately fail to rapidly remediate the incident.A thorough understanding of many detailed areas is required for success, including a mastery of the following fundamental skills covered by the SANS Digital Forensics and Incident Response (DFIR) YouTube Channel.

In Kabul, a new ritual: Hungry women wait for bread outside bakeries
By Diaa Hadid,
Fazelminallah Qazizai
Diaa Hadid/NPR
Women in burkas sit outside a bakery in Kabul. Impoverished women from hilltop slums around Kabul have been flocking to bakeries in the city, silently waiting to see if someone will purchase bread for them.
In the late afternoons in Kabul, a familiar ritual takes place as Afghans head to bakeries to buy fresh flat loaves for dinner.
But since the Taliban seized power in Afghanistan last August, another ritual has emerged: Women in blue burqas settle in front of the city's upscale bakeries, silently waiting for charitable passersby to purchase bread for them.
They include Khadija, a mother of nine young daughters. Every day, she walks with swollen feet and blackened toenails to this bakery from the distant hilltop slum where she has lived all her life. Then she waits in her tattered burqa, endlessly stitched and mended.
"My daughters cry from hunger," says Khadija, who like other women interviewed, requests only her first name be used for the shame she feels begging. She guesses her age at about 30.
The sight of the women reflects how sharply the country's economy has unraveled, and how its people's resilience has been depleted by multiple crises. They have been battered by conflict, pandemic closures, three droughts and an earthquake over the past five years.
After the Taliban came to power, Western governments cut off the aid that propped up the Afghan government. Washington froze Afghanistan's central bank assets. The banking system largely seized up, preventing traders from easily importing or exporting goods. The number of Afghans needing food aid roughly doubled to 20 million people, about half the population. These are people who have gone into unsustainable debt or have sold off assets like land and homes, their kidneys and in the most extreme cases, their children to purchase food. In one remote province, the U.N. found some 20,000 Afghans who were starving in famine-like conditions. Officials say it has only been wide-scale food aid that has prevented more from the same fate.

Loaves of bread in a bakery window in Kabul. The women who wait outside in the hope of getting some bread are suffering from the unstable economy, brought on by events of the past five years: conflict, pandemic closures, three droughts.
Yet even for humanitarian workers who were anticipating a crisis after the Taliban takeover, the speed at which Afghans descended into extreme hunger was still surprising, says Hsiao-Wei Lee, deputy director for the World Food Program in Afghanistan. "It really comes from the fact that there is a lot of reliance on the international community's presence here and on just the general economy," Lee says. "The people of Afghanistan really need continued support."
But the international community hasn't stepped up enough, experts say. The U.N.'s appeal for this year — $4.4 billion — is only one-third funded. The Russian invasion of Ukraine is diverting resources and has caused food prices to rise.
When Khadija arrives, there's already a crowd of women waiting for bread in front of the bakery, and so the women have spilled over onto the pavement across the road. The women flock to upscale bakeries in Kabul's city center because their customers are more likely to buy them bread: one or two large flat loaves can be bought for the equivalent of 2 cents. Some pull out tattered clothes to mend while they wait.
Khadija says she often walks back home in the twilight empty-handed. On those evenings, she says, "I knock on the neighbors' doors to ask for spare food. I ask the Taliban at the checkpoints if they have dry bread," she says.
Fahima, 23, began begging for bread after the Taliban's policies made her family destitute. When the Taliban banned girls' secondary education, her mother lost her job as a cleaner at a girls' school. Her father was killed years ago.
Now, Fahima says, her life involves walking for hours from her hilltop slum, waiting outside a bakery and walking home with sore legs. It's hard, painful and boring. "I tell myself, 'What will we eat if I don't do this?'" Fahima says. "My mother is too old to walk this far. My sisters are too ashamed to beg."
It is not just the bakeries where signs of hunger are apparent.
A mother tries to sooth her baby in a ward in the Indira Gandhi hospital in Kabul where babies are treated for malnutrition. Afghanistan's longstanding problems with hunger and malnutrition have dramatically escalated since the Taliban seized power last August.
In Kabul's Indira Gandhi hospital, the children'smalnutrition ward has tripled to three rooms, with seven to nine children in each. In one room, Leila sat on the sticky floor with her 8-month-old boy, Ali Mohammad. Like the other children here on a recent day, her son had a small head, big eyes, a wrinkled face and stick-like arms and legs.
Leila said she did not know her age, explaining she could not read or write. "Maybe I'm 20, 30 or 40," she shrugged. But there was a date she could remember: two months ago, she says, when her breast milk dried up.
Her family had no money for infant formula. She said they had always been poor. Her husband, a day laborer in the southern province of Uruzgan, had fallen ill and hadn't been able to work for months. So she gave Ali Mohammad tea instead, and soon, "he was shriveling up," she says. "It is the poverty that is killing him."
Leila said her neighbors could not offer any help. They urged her to go to the hospital instead, where she would be given free food for the baby. Once she leaves the hospital, she will have no means to improve Ali Mohammad's diet. Although she fears her baby will die, "he will drink tea again."
A spokesman for the Taliban's ministry of public health, Dr. Javeid Hazheeri, says the Taliban did not expect so many Afghans would be malnourished when they seized power. TheU.S. Congress alone appropriated about $138 billion since 2002 on reconstruction in the country. Experts say, however, that not enough international aid funded the kinds of development that address hunger, such as improved access to water and nutrition education for women.
Hazheeri lists the ways the ministry is trying to help, including operating more than 2,300 malnutrition clinics. But he says it's not enough, given the scale of the problem.
He says ultimately, to curb malnutrition, the Taliban government needs the economy to function, which would mean halting Western sanctions: Afghan central bank assets should be released. Afghan banks should be able to conduct cross-border trade. But those are political decisions, which would require the international community to recognize, in some way, the Taliban government. That proposition is complicated by the group's violations of human rights, including denying girls the right to attend secondary school, and issuing rules to enforce the veil in public.
While most of those in need of food after the takeover were already poor, the economic crisis has sucked in Afghanistan's middle class as well. At a food distribution center run by the World Food Program, Taliban gunmen try keep order as a crowd waits outside. Inside, women register for a month's worth of flour, cooking oil and beans.
They include a 57-year-old woman with a shiny handbag and tidy shoes, also named Khadija — a common name in Afghanistan. Her family used to live off the pension her husband received as a retired school teacher.
After the Taliban came to power the pension stopped. One son dropped out of college because the family could no longer afford tuition. She supports another son because his salary as a teacher was cut dramatically after the takeover. She sold her apartment to keep them all going, but that money is running out. "I have never opened my hands to ask for charity in my life," she says. "It felt so hard to ask."
Outside, men with wheelbarrows wait in a row, hoping those receiving food aid will need help to cart it away. They get a 2-cent tip for the work.
One of the men, Mohammad Hussein, guesses he's about 60 years old. He's tied a piece of cloth around his waist to keep his pants up. "We carry other people's food but we are hungry," he says. "Nobody gives us food." Other men surround us and echo him: "Nobody gives us food. Help us."
They're unlikely to get help. Lee, from the World Food Program, says they don't have the money to expand their aid program. She says they're trying to plan for the winter, when even more Afghans are expected to go hungry.

I've been blogging a lot longer than most people. I started my first blog, This That and the Other Thing in 2005. I had no real focus (bet the title gives you some clue about that) but I liked to write and thought it was neat that I could put up a blog and people would eventually find it and read it. My first readers were a few online friends who were also trying out this blogging thing.
When I started blogging I had a dial-up internet connection, no digital camera and no real idea of how to format posts or do much of anything, and if you look at those early posts, it shows. I posted sporadically in 2005 and 2006, sharing links to interesting websites, giving my opinions about current events or writing about my faith. In late 2006 I discovered book blogging and I gradually became a book blogger, at least most of the time.
Much of my early on-line activity was with a Catholic moms group on AOL and while I've never been one of those bloggers who talked about faith in every post or really set herself up as an online religion teacher, I did (and still do) have posts about my faith and for over five years I hosted a Catholic bloggers link-up.
Over the years I've participated in a lot of blog link-ups and other blogging communities. I find it interesting to compare and contrast the various types of blogs I read.
While reading is generally considered a solitary hobby which is enjoyed by introverts, book bloggers are a very community-oriented group. Many bloggers regularly participate in one or more of the "book haul" memes like "It's Monday, What Are You Reading", and "Mailbox Monday" . "Library Loot" is on Wednesdays. If memes aren't your thing, maybe book challenges are. Most of these start in January, but some start during other seasons. Bloggers write posts about how many books of what type they will read, and link up their original posts and follow-up posts.
Of course the main thing book bloggers write about is books. Book review posts are mainstays along with author interviews, chapter excerpts and book spotlights.
While book bloggers may have ads on their sidebars and Amazon affiliate links in their posts, most book bloggers are not in it for the money, they are in it for the books. Anyone who has had a book blog for any length of time and who has evidence that her (and most book bloggers are "her") blog is read by others will be able to get review copies of books at no cost.
While there are a number of programs and publicists which send out hard copies of books for review, more and more of them are moving to digital review copies. While I sometimes miss the days when the mail carrier brought me two to three books a week, the fact of the matter is I now no longer have to figure out what to do with all those books. While I could have sold some of them, from what I could see, the little money I would make was hardly worth the trouble.
While there are many self-hosted WordPress book blogs, there are plenty of us on Blogger and the free WordPress site too.
These seem to mostly be written by stay-at-home-moms of small children. These bloggers seem pretty community oriented and tend to participate in link-ups. Some are clearly just showing off their kids and trying to meet other moms. Others seem to be trying to make money--or at least to score offers to review good products.
By the time I discovered blogging, my children were beyond the super cute stage and I didn't want them to be embarrassed if a friend found my blog, so I haven't written a lot of "cute kids" posts though I have talked about my son's struggles with autism and my struggles parenting him.
Financial Blogs are all about making money. They have ads, sponsored posts and some of them seem written as much for search engines as people (nope, not naming names). There are some link-ups, like Financially Saavy Saturdays on Broke Girl Rich and people do read a comment on each other's blogs but I don't generally see financial blogs (except some dividend investor blogs) that advertise other blogs on sidebars. Financial bloggers do not seem as fond of link-ups and memes at book bloggers and mommy bloggers.
There are definitely more professional bloggers in this area tha professional book bloggers--unless you count authors who use their blog as a personal public relations page. I suspect there are as many professional mommy bloggers as professional financial bloggers, its just that there are so many hobby mommy bloggers out there, whereas I'm one of the weirdos in the financial blogging world who has no intention of putting enough time or money into my blog to make it into the big time.
Depending on the people, I've found (and this is my experience which may not be true for all) religious bloggers to be some of the nicest bloggers, often rallying around each other and supporting each other's efforts or some of the nastiest.
I blog because it is the ultimate in vanity press. At no cost (because I'm one of the few financial bloggers who hasn't used on of those handy-dandy links on every financial blogger's "how to blog" post and gone self-hosted) I can write what I want, and hope someone reads it. I like to read, I like to write and if I can make a few dollars (and yea, its a few) and get free books (more than I can read) then I'm happy.
What kind of blogs do you like to read? Are you a blogger? Do you have more than one blog? Why did you start blogging? How long have you been blogging? Are you still blogging for the same reason you were when you started?
You don't have to read investing blogs very long before coming across the idea of investing in dividend growth stocks--stocks that pay a yearly dividend and which have historically increased that dividend on a regular basis.
Those who champion dividend growth investing liken it to planting a money tree--once you have planted it (purchased the stocks), the fruit is there for the picking (dividends are paid regularly) and increases as time goes on. The stock that pays you a $3.00 dividend this year may pay you $3.10 next year (or it may pay less if business is not good).
Last week I read an blog post (and I wish I had bookmarked it) in which the author eschewed dividend growth investing, stating that generally when dividends were declared, the value of the shares dropped the same amount, giving you a zero-sum game, except that you had to pay taxes on the dividends. Something about that statement didn't sound right to me, so I did some math.
Disclaimer: The last time I took a standardized test, my verbal skills were in the 99th percentile, and my math skills, dead average. Make of it what you will.
Trying to figure out what WILL happen in the stock market is, at best, an educated guess and it isn't very useful for comparison purposes.
On the other hand, sometimes the price of stocks will change, sometimes substantially, not because of anything good or bad that happened to the company but because the market as a whole has moved and they get caught up in it.
In other words, while the price of a company's stock is, to some extent, a reflection of the current and expected profits of the company, there are times that prices of shares of stock in a particular company may drop for reasons that have little to nothing to do with the company.
Dividends, on the other hand, are a reflection of earnings. If a company isn't making a profit, the only way it can pay a dividend is to use savings, and no company can do that long-term.
So, back to the question, is it better to own stock in a company that pays a dividend, or a company that does not, assuming the same rate of growth?
Since I know the average stock market return over the long haul is about 7%, I used random.org to randomize numbers between -10 and 20 to come up with a string of numbers that my eyeball estimate told me averaged close to that. Actually I ended up with numbers that average a little over 5% and decided to stick with them.
I never took any money out of this account and at the end of eight years I had $74,305.06. But what if this had been a dividend paying stock? Would it make any difference? My guess before I did the math, was that it wouldn't make a diffence in the accumulation phase. I was almost right.
I used the same return rates on the second chart. The difference is that I assumed that this stock paid a $3,00 per share dividend on the last day of the year, and that the stock then fell in price by 3.00. In other words, if the stock sold for $98 on the last day of the year, I opened it the next year at $95 rather than $98. However, I used that $3.00 per share to buy more stock at that opening price. At the end of the year, I computed the value by multiplying the number of shares from the beginning of the year by the post-dividend price, and then adding the dividends paid.
I then re-did the chart, assuming that after the dividend had been paid, I used it as part of the $5,000 I withdrew. I thought the dividend payer would come out ahead.
Well, you can tell I write these posts on the fly because obviously, there is no difference (or at least no significant difference) between getting dividends and having the price of the stock increase, whether you are trying to accumulate more stock or whether you are trying to generate cash to spend.
That conclusion, of course, assumes that there is no difference in the stocks, which is something that rarely happens. In general, companies that are profitable and growing at a slow but steady pace, if at all, pay dividends. Companies that are re-investing everything they have into growing the companies do not pay dividends, but hopefully the price of the stock will increase in the long run. Of course if they overbuild, then the stock can crash for that reason.
Are you a dividend investor? If so, has my little exercise made you reconsider your stance? Why or why not?
Guess what? I teach kids to play with matches. Yes, I'm a Girl Scout leader and one of the things I teach my Daisies (kindergarten and first grade girls) is to light a match. I also teach them how to build a fire.
I've been a Girl Scout leader for more years than most, and I'm afraid I don't vary the presentation that much from year to year (but that makes it easy to see who "got" it when they went through it last year).
I always start by asking the girls to raise their hands if they think matches are dangerous. Of course, they all raise their hands. Next, I ask them to raise their hands if they think pencils are dangerous. None (except those who've heard me before and remember) raise their hands. Then I ask them to raise their hands if they would like me to poke them in the eye with a pencil. For some reason, none raise their hands. I then ask again if pencils are dangerous, and with kind of confused look on their faces, most raise their hands.
Finally, I point out that pencils are like matches--both are tools that can be dangerous if misused, but which are very useful and safe if we use them properly.
Matches are not only like pencils, they are like credit cards.
I've read more than one personal finance blog article about work-arounds that make credit cards unnecessary. I've read that I should turn down that offer to save 10% on the items I've already decided to buy, because to get that discount, I have to get a store credit card. Dave Ramsey says that "Responsible use of a credit card does not exist." Is he right?
Credit Cards are not directly linked to your bank account. One of the most frequently suggested replacements for a credit card is a debit card, which withdraws money from your bank account as soon as it is used. Frankly, to me that is for more scary than the possibility that I will misuse the card. I've had my wallet/credit cards lost or stolen and we all know store computers have been hacked. I've never been asked to pay for something I didn't charge, and I don't have to worry about a fraudulent credit card charge causing havoc with my checking account. The bank may reverse the charges if a thief uses your debit card, but what about all the people whose checks bounced because of the unauthorized purchase?
If cash is stolen or lost, you can kiss it goodbye; if a credit card is lost or stolen, you just cancel it. I wish I could tell you that my wallet has never been stolen, but I can't. I wish I could tell you that I've never left a credit car lay someplace, but I can't. I wish I could tell you that neither cash or card had ever seen the inside of my washing machine, but that would be a lie. The bottom line is that credit card companies rarely hold you responsible for any unauthorized charges, and even if they do, there is a legal limit to your liability. Cash can be lost or stolen and you have little recourse.
Credit card points, discounts, miles etc. If you can use your credit cards properly, these can build up into tidy sums of money. Yes, late charges and interest will eat them up in a hurry, but if you pay the card off every month, without fail, on time, this is free money (except for taxes).
Credit cards provide a readily available source of easy to access credit, for EMERGENCIES. As far as I'm concerned, credit cards should be paid off monthly, with no balance carried over until the next month. You should have some money in the bank available to use for the everyday extra expenses and minor emergencies of life. In general, using your credit cards to pay for things you can't afford to pay for this month isn't a good idea. The interest rates are outrageous, and you need to learn to live within your means. That being said, stuff happens. People get laid off--and good luck trying to get a loan if that happens. Credit cards obtained when things are good, and used responsibly can end up with high enough credit limits to carry you through a couple of months.
Credit cards can alleviate short-term cash flow problems caused by unexpected bills. In most families, an un-fixable washing machine must be replaced ASAP. Yes, you should have sufficient savings to handle things like that, but what if you don't? Sometimes the time the credit card (or the 90 days same as cash) buys you is enough.
Credit cards are an easy way to provide family members with access to funds, without actually giving them money. My out-of-town college student and my in-town young adult both have credit cards with my name on them. They also both know what they may and may not use them for (they can use them for medical expenses/emergencies, auto emergencies, school bills and anything I send them to obtain for me). If you budget your checking account to the penny, having someone use a debit card in those situations can be problematic.
Purchasing with a credit card gives you more power if you need to withhold payment or dispute a purchase. While some debit cards claim to give you purchase protection similar to a credit card, reality is that in any negotiation, the person with the money on his/her side of the table is at an advantage. With a debit card you are trying to recover money you have paid; with a credit card you are refusing to pay.
They make it possible for you to buy things you don't need and can't afford.
That's it--the problems with credit cards aren't problems with the cards, per se, but rather problems with the user. If having a credit card will turn you into an irresponsible spender, then by all means, don't get one. However, I'll admit to rolling my eyes at people who devise and stick to elaborate budgets that give jobs to every dollar every month and who can tell you to the penny what their electric bill was last month without checking their bank statement but who refuse to get a credit card.
Credit cards aren't good or bad. Credit cards are tools; it is the user who determines whether they are misused or not.

In the cigar industry, 5 Vegas is a brand that has been around for a long time. It was first introduced in the late 1990s by the now-defunct Cubanacan Cigar Company.

This year, 5 Vegas is celebrating its 20th anniversary, and to commemorate the occasion, the company has released a special edition cigar called 5 Vegas Gold Anniversary | Nicaragua.
5 Vegas Gold cigars have been around for a long time, and to commemorate their anniversary, they've released a new blend called "5 Vegas Gold Anniversary | Nicaragua."

The cigars were released in late 2016 and have been receiving positive reviews.
This cigar is a 5 Vegas Gold Anniversary made in Nicaragua. The wrapper is a Connecticut Shade. The cigar has a nice, even burn and a mild flavor. The smoke is smooth and the draw is good. This cigar would be a good choice for someone looking for a mild, smooth cigar.
The cigars are medium-bodied and have a nice, even burn. The flavor is smooth with hints of nuts and spice. In early 2018, 5 Vegas Cigars released a new cigar called the 5 Vegas Gold Anniversary.

In conclusion, 5 Vegas Cask-Strength is an excellent cigar that delivers a lot of flavor. It's made with high-quality tobacco, and the construction is top-notch. I highly recommend it to any cigar smoker.

D-backs should take two from Reds series
By Arizona Sports | April 18, 2011 at 11:36 pm
UPDATED: April 19, 2011 at 3:32 am
The Diamondbacks will begin a three game road trip against Cincinnati Tuesday hoping to rebound after losing four of their last six games.
The Reds have picked up where they left off in 2010, leading the NL Central so far this season with a 9-6 record while the Diamondbacks sit at 6-8.
The key will be how Arizona's pitching can hold up against the Reds' lineup featuring Joey Votto and Brandon Phillips.
The D-backs will begin the series with Armando Galarraga on the mound against the Reds' Sam LeCure.
Galarraga is 2-0 so far but has struggled with a 6.75 ERA while giving up nine earned runs and five home runs over 12 innings.
LeCure has also pitched 12 innings but has a 2.25 ERA with three earned runs and 14 strikeouts.
The projected match-up for Wednesday is Ian Kennedy versus Bronson Arroyo.
Kennedy has an ERA of 6.88 while giving up 13 earned runs and six walks with 13 strikeouts over 17 innings.
He is trailing Arroyo so far this season, who has a 4.24 ERA with eight earned runs and two walks with 15 strikeouts over 17 innings.
The final game on Thursday will feature Daniel Hudson versus former Sun Devil Mike Leake.
Hudson is the only D-backs pitcher with an advantage on paper in this series, posting a 4.26 ERA while giving up nine earned runs and eight walks with 23 strikeouts over 19 innings.
Leake has a 5.40 ERA while giving up 10 earned runs and eight walks with 14 strikeouts over 16.2 innings.
The Diamondbacks will also hope their hitting nucleus of Miguel Montero, Justin Upton and Stephen Drew can keep up their recent production.
Each has at least seven RBIs this season and the trio has six of the team's 15 home runs in 2011.
All three also have batting averages above .300 with a .337 combined average.
If the Diamondbacks can get consistent production from both their line-up and rotation in Cincinnati, they should come out with at least two wins.

Q: Can you restore a MarkLogic backup to a new database? We want to take a backup of a MarkLogic database from last Wednesday and restore it to a new database name on the same server. We are running MarkLogic 5.0-3.1.

A: If you restore at database-level, it will look at the original forest names, and restore to the original forests. You can trick this by renaming the folders, but you can also restore at forest level. Create a new replica forest for each original database forest, and load the data of the master forest by selecting the appropriate directory under the Forests directory within the database backup directory.
You could also look into Flexible Replication, but that feature might not exist yet in 5.0..
HTH!

Wife accused of trying to kill Zimbabwe vice-president gets bail
Marry Mubaiwa is accused of removing an intravenous line from her husband in a Pretoria hospital

Harare — The wife of Zimbabwe's vice-president was granted bail on Monday after three weeks in jail on charges of fraud, money-laundering and attempted murder of her husband.
Marry Mubaiwa, who is the wife of vice-president Constantino Chiwenga, was arrested last month on allegations of attempted murder, fraud and contravening the country's exchange control laws by transferring about $1m abroad.
The high court in Harare freed her on a 50,000 Zimbabwe dollars (US$2,780) bail and she was ordered to surrender her diplomatic passport. She also offered title deeds of her father's house as surety.
The businesswoman and former model, who was previously married to a national football player, will report to the police twice a week. A trial date has not been set yet but she is due back in court on January 14 for a routine pre-trial appearance.
The attempted murder charges arose from a trip last year when she accompanied her husband, who was airlifted for medical attention to neighbouring SA. In Pretoria she allegedly took the ailing Chiwenga to a hotel, refusing to take him to hospital until his aides forced their way and took him to a clinic.
Prosecutors alleged that "with intent to cause serious harm" Mubaiwa went to Chiwenga's hospital ward and asked his security aides to leave saying she wanted to have a private conversation with her husband.
Alone with the bedridden Chiwenga, Mubaiwa allegedly removed an intravenous line and a catheter from her husband causing him to bleed profusely, the prosecution said.
Chiwenga, who led the 2017 ouster of long-time ruler Robert Mugabe, went to SA to seek emergency medical attention for a constricted oesophagus before being transferred to a Chinese hospital, from which he was discharged late November.
On return home, after spending 123 days in the Chinese healthcare centre, Chiwenga said that had he not sought medical help in China, he could have died. He was welcomed at the airport by China's deputy ambassador to Harare while his wife Marry was absent.
On December 29 he returned to China for what was said to be a review.
Prosecutors also said that between 2018 and May last year, Mubaiwa transferred money from her foreign currency account in Zimbabwe to into SA bank accounts under the pretext of paying for goods to be imported from that country.
She allegedly used part of the money to buy a house in a Pretoria plush golf estate and two luxury cars.

I took a big plunge into hiring an experienced writer to compose a press release for Badin and the Secret of the Saami. It took me awhile to find the right one. I think this is something every self-published author should consider. The writer, Eartha Watts-Hicks completely tapped into the heart and soul of the story and its connection to me as the writer and illustrator. She also provided a slew of tips and corrections to help make this project more presentable online. She called me multiple times to read the copy and ask me questions about my ideas and thoughts regarding the story and its importance in popular culture. You can download the press release as PDF or Word documents. Please spread the word. I need your support.
Graphic Novel Launch: 28 More Days!

On Wednesday, Obama said his staff was preparing a "full range of options" for action. He also announced that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will meet fly to Geneva Monday for a foreign ministers' meeting of the U.N. Human Rights Council to discuss possible multilateral actions.
"They want to keep open the idea that there's a mix of capabilities they can deploy – whether it's a no-fly zone, freezing foreign assets of Gaddafi's family, doing something to prevent the transport of mercenaries (hired by Gaddafi) to Libya, targeting sanctions against some of his supporters to persuade them to abandon him," said Steve Clemons of the New America Foundation, who took part in a meeting of independent foreign policy analysts, including Abrams, with senior National Security Council staff at the White House Thursday.
During the 1990s, neo-conservatives consistently lobbied for military pressure to be deployed against so-called "rogue states", especially in the Middle East.
After the 1991 Gulf War, for example, many "neo-cons" expressed bitter disappointment that U.S. troops stopped at the Kuwaiti border instead of marching to Baghdad and overthrowing the regime of Saddam Hussein.
When the Iraqi president then unleashed his forces against Kurdish rebels in the north and Shia insurgents in the south, they – along with many liberal interventionist allies – pressed President George H.W. Bush to impose "no-fly zones" over both regions and take additional actions – much as they are now proposing for Libya – designed to weaken the regime's military repressive capacity.
Those actions set the pattern for the 1990s. To the end of the decade, neo-conservatives, often operating under the auspices of a so-called "letterhead organisation", such as PNAC, worked – often with the help of some liberal internationalists eager to establish a right of humanitarian intervention – to press President Bill Clinton to take military action against adversaries in the Balkans – in Bosnia and then Kosovo – as well as Iraq.
Within days of 9/11, for example, PNAC issued a letter signed by 41 prominent individuals – almost all neo- conservatives, including 10 of the Libya letter's signers – that called for military action to "remove Saddam Hussein from power in Iraq", as well as retaliation against Iran and Syria if they did not immediately end their support for Hezbollah in Lebanon.
PNAC and its associates subsequently worked closely with neo-conservatives inside the Bush administration, including Abrams, Wolfowitz, and Edelman, to achieve those aims.
While neo-conservatives were among the first to call for military action against Gaddafi in the past week, some prominent liberals and rights activists have rallied to the call, including three of the letter's signatories: Neil Hicks of Human Rights First; Bill Clinton's human rights chief, John Shattuck; and Leon Wieseltier of The New Republic, who also signed the PNAC Iraq letter 10 years ago.
Other commentators noted that a renewed coalition of neo- conservatives and liberal interventionists would be much harder to put together now than during the Balkan wars of the 1990s.
"We now have Iraq and Afghanistan as warning signs, as well as our fiscal crisis, so I don't think there's an enormous appetite on Capitol Hill or among the public for yet another military engagement," said Charles Kupchan, a foreign policy specialist at the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR).
"I support diplomatic and economic sanctions, but I would stop well short of advocating military action, including the imposition of a no-fly zone," he added, noting, in any event, that most of the killing in Libya this week has been carried out by mercenaries and paramilitaries on foot or from vehicles.
"There may be some things we can do – such as airlifting humanitarian supplies to border regions where there are growing number of refugees, but I would do so only with the full support of the Arab League and African Union, if not the U.N.," said Clemons.

Are you an over-scheduled, always busy Mom (or Dad) on a budget? Are you looking for a not-so-secret weapon to make your life easier (even just a little bit)? Then allow me to roll out the welcome mat and invite you to Mason Jar Breakfast & More. Come on in; make yourself at home.
Mason Jar Breakfast & More was made for on-the-go super parents just like you!
Psst! Get great edible and inedible homemade gift ideas with my eBook Homemade Gifts in Jars!
By the way, don't worry if you're not the reincarnation of Julia Child or a wiz with a glue-gun, 99% of these Mason jar projects are easy enough for a child to tackle. Furthermore, they're frugal and fun, so don't be afraid to jump in with both feet!
Oh, how rude of me, I didn't even introduce myself… I'm Kelli. Or more frequently "Mom." In addition to being the mother of a super rambunctious 4 year old (a.k.a the pickiest eater on the planet), I'm the main penny pincher 🙂 behind the frugal living blog Freebie Finding Mom and the aspiring DIY diva behind Mason Jar Breakfast & More.
Not only am I a busy mom on a budget, I'm also passionate about DIY projects. DIY is a great way to save money, boost your confidence, get one-of-kind items, and spend time with the family. I'm especially fond of Mason jar projects because they tend to be easy and inexpensive. However, I may be a little biased because a love of Mason jars is in my blood.
My family members have been using Mason jars for years to save money. My Grandma Florence would use Mason jars to can homegrown vegetables like green beans and tomatoes. She would also buy fresh fruit (like peaches) in bulk and can it for use later on. When my grandpa had cows on the farm, she would even use Mason jars to preserve butchered meat.
Grandma's hard work ensured the family had enough to eat throughout the year while helping them to stay on budget. That's something I can definitely admire.
I may not live on a farm, but I do have a family to feed and a budget to maintain, so like Grandma Florence, I'm turning to Mason jars!
However, in addition to Grandma's tried and true Mason jar recipes, I'm dishing up a heaping helping of modern day Mason jar projects for everything from candles to centerpieces.
So, take a load off and stay a while!


It's being reported by Reuters that Cortana, Microsoft's digital assistant, will be coming to Android and iOS as an app later this year. The idea that Cortana could come to rival mobile OS first came about in a Microsoft SMX Advanced keynote conversation last year.
During the keynote, Microsoft wasn't ready to think about distributing Cortana to other platforms, but CEO Satya Nadella has decided it's time to begin rolling out their products, including Office, more freely to other platforms. The decision was made due to the thought of other users creating or adopting alternates to Microsoft's software.
Originally, Cortana was meant to help boost sales of Windows Phones by differentiating them with Cortana. So far, the addition of their digital assistant hasn't helped, so it was decided that putting Cortana onto other platforms was the wisest choice.
The Windows Phones have failed to grow markets share in key markets like the US and China, and only have a 3.6 percent share in the US, according to comScore.

We recently purchased a new HVAC system from Efficient Systems. Our old furnace failed after 28 flawless years of service. Ron Q. had been sent to troubleshoot our old furnace and he determined its age would most likely affect the ability to obtain the necessary parts for repair - and therefore would not be cost effective to fix. He showed us the cracks in the heat exchanger that could leak carbon monoxide into our home; a real health and safety hazard! His knowledge was quite impressive, so we felt confident in buying a new system, especially with the advice that Ron provided. Ron's dedication to service was especially evident when he stopped by while our new system was being installed. He wanted to see how things were going, check on the work being done, and to thank us for doing business with Efficient Systems. As part of the purchase of our new furnace, air conditioner, and humidifier, a Quality Inspection was performed 7 days after the installation. Ron returned to conduct this service, and we were again quite impressed with his expertise and commitment to quality workmanship. He was extremely detailed in his explanation of the new system and its function, and described the tasks he would be performing to confirm our system's proper operation. This type of follow-through in sales and service is outstanding. I highly recommend using Efficient Systems for all the services they provide. We had confidently purchased the new system from John New, who made sure we got the equipment that best met our needs and the size of our home. Brian P. installed the system with care and expertise, sharing his knowledge of our new system's design and operation. I should also mention that Mark had performed some excellent electrical troubleshooting and repair for us a few years ago, which prompted us to contact the company for this latest work. Thank you!

Mark did a great job, doing the normal A/C checks and going beyond by finding an issue dating to the system installation (by another company). He even installed one of his washers in my hose, and I didn't know the washer had fallen out! Ron performed the furnace maintenance, and he always provided good tips on the whole house humidifier even though he did not service it. Highly recommended!

Ron Q was great. He came to do yearly maintenance on my furnace. He took his time and answered all my questions. I would like him to come back when it's time for the air conditioner to be checked.

We had a pretty hefty workload for the company including water heater replacement and electrical work. There were a few miscommunications during the process, but Sean and Efficient Systems worked with us to make sure we got exactly what we were needing. The quality of work performed even on certain parts of the job needing revision was top notch. The techs were always on time and professional people to work with. At the end of the job you can trust that Efficient systems will make sure you are taken care of.
