Righting the Ship: Best Buy Brings Back Founder, Richard Schulze
Best Buy management now has the support of its founder, Richard Schulze, who's returning to the electronics chain as chairman emeritus after he left the Board last year amid a scandal and then tried to buy out the company. He's already named two former colleagues, Brad Anderson, who previously served as Chief Executive, and Al Lenzmeier, who was the Chief Operating Officer, to serve on the Board of Directors, Best Buy announced today.
Schulze resigned last May amid a scandal involving former Chief Executive Brian Dunn. An internal investigation revealed that Dunn had a relationship with a female employee that showed "extremely poor judgment," and that Schulze had "acted inappropriately" for not disclosing the relationship to Best Buy's audit committee after learning about it.

That's all water under the bridge, and apparently Schulze, who holds a 20 percent state in Best Buy and is the company's largest shareholder, is on the same page as current CEO Hubert Joly.
"Over the past several months, I have come to know and respect Hubert, and have a high regard for the work he and his executive team are doing to revitalize Best Buy for the benefit of all stakeholders," Schulze said in a statement. "My dedication to the company that I founded and love is unwavering and, together with Hubert and the Board, I determined that the best way to support Best Buy would be to return in support of the initiatives underway."
Best Buy has struggled to compete with online competitors, especially Amazon, which often offers lower prices without the burden of sales tax in some states. However, Best Buy recently began price matching certain online portals, Amazon included, in an attempt to win back online shoppers.

Five Minutes with APPAM Student Member Rebecca Miller
"I realized that I loved working in environmental fields as a freshman in college. After graduation, I moved to Washington, D.C., and worked as a Science Policy Fellow for the Science and Technology Policy Institute. In supporting a project on local adaptation planning for the Obama Administration, I realized that the academic literature had only limited information as to why municipalities designed adaptation plans or even how to define a "good" adaptation plan."
Evidence-Based Policymaking at #2017APPAM
The APPAM Fall Research Conference has long been the place to learn what's going on in the world of evidence-based research. With the publication of the Commission on Evidence-Based Policymaking Report last month, we wanted to highlight the conference sessions that will touch on issues raised by this important report.
The theme of the conference this year is Measurement Matters: Better Data for Better Decisions. We understand the utilization of evidence-based research and strategies for policy making is more important than ever.
As you plan your time at the conference by browsing the agenda, be sure to keep an eye out for these sessions. We'll see you in Chicago for #2017APPAM!

The blog post series corresponds to the material for a talk Maëlle will give at the Animal Movement Analysis summer school in Radolfzell, Germany on September the 12th, in a Max Planck Institute of Ornithology.
This post is the 1st post of a series showcasing various rOpenSci packages as if Maëlle were a birder trying to make the most of R in general and rOpenSci in particular. Although the series use cases will mostly feature birds, it'll be the occasion to highlight rOpenSci's packages that are more widely applicable, so read on no matter what your field is! Moreoever, each post should stand on its own.
A logical first step in this birder's guide to rOpenSci is to use R to find where to observe birds! In this blog post, we shall use rOpenSci packages accessing open geographical data to locate and visualize where to observe birds near a given location.
First of all, where are we now?
The Max Planck Institute for Ornithology (henceforth shortened to MPI), where Maëlle will give a talk is located at Am Obstberg 1 78315 Radolfzell. Let's geolocate it using rOpenSci's opencage package that interfaces the OpenCage Geocoder, a commercial service based on open data. When choosing to get only one result via limit = 1, one gets what the API considers to be the best one.
This gets us Am Obstberg 1, 78315 Radolfzell, Germany (mpi$formatted) which is in 🇩🇪 (mpi$annotations.flag gets us a flag!).
Birding in a bird hide?
Where to find a bird hide?
You can most certainly go birding anywhere, but if you can find a bird hide (or bird blind depending on the English you speak), it might be a very appropriate observation point. Now that we know where the MPI is, we can look for bird hide(s) in the vicinity. For that, we shall use rOpenSci's osmdata package by Mark Padgham and collaborators! Note that incidentally, Mark did his PhD in ecology. This package is an interface to OpenStreetMap's Overpass API. OpenStreetMap is a collective map of the world. It contains information about towns' limits, roads, placenames… but also tags of everything, from bars as seen in this blog post to trees. You can browse existing features via OpenStreetMap's wiki. Some parts of the world are better mapped than others depending on the local OpenStreetMap community. Actually, OpenCage's blog features an interesting series of country profiles.
To look for a bird hide, we first create a bounding box of 10km around the MPI, using rOpenSci's bbox package.
We then use the key and value associated with bird hides in OpenStreetMap: respectively leisure and bird_hide.
Yay, we now know where to find a bird hide not too far from the MPI!
So one could enter the coordinates of that bird hide in one's favourite mapping software or app but to show you where the bird hide is we can actually step back and use osmplotr, another package contributed to rOpenSci by Mark Padgham!
The way osmplotr works is letting you create a basemap, on which you'll add different layers extracted from OpenStreetMap using osmplotr::extract_osm_objects or osmdata functions directly. Its strengths are therefore the use of open data, and the customization of what you're using as background!
Let's create a basemap for our bounding box, and then add roads and buildings to it.
Quite pretty! The lakes can be seen because of the absence of roads and buildings on them.
Now, let's plot the bird hide and the MPI on them. Since we used osmdata::osmdata_sf, we had gotten the data in a receivable class, sf.
For plotting the MPI, we'll convert opencage output to an sf point with the same coordinate reference system as the OpenStreetMap data extracted with osmdata.
We can now visualize both points on the map, the MPI in white and the bird hide in salmon, South-West from the MPI.
Aha, now we see where the bird hide is, fantastic! But as Mark noted, birds can actually be observed from other places.
Birding where birds should be?
Birds are most likely to be found where water lies close to natural areas, and we can translate this to R code! We shall get all water and (separately) all non-watery natural areas and find the shortest distances between them before plotting the results using add_osm_surface.
First, let's get all water and (separately) all non-watery natural areas.
Then we use Mark's geodist package to get pairwise distances between all points, find minima, and make a data.frame to submit to add_osm_surface(). We have 7068 watery points and 10065 non-watery points so the speed of geodist is crucial here!
Finally we plot the results on the roads we had gotten earlier, although we do not recommend staying on the middle of a road to observe birds! We re-add the points corresponding to the MPI and bird hide after the surface coloring. With osmplotr, order matters because layers are added on top of each other. Note that plotting the distances takes a while.
On the map, the yellower/lighter a road is, the better it is to observe birds according to Mark's assumption that birds are most likely to be found where water lies close to natural areas. With this metric, the MPI itself is not too badly located, which after all is not too surprising for an MPI of ornithology. Maybe one should just walk to the one of the nearest lakes to meet some birds.
In this post we showcased three rOpenSci packages helping you use open geographical data in R: opencage, osmdata, osmplotr, therefore mostly making use of the awesome OpenStreetMap data (The OpenCage Geocoder uses a bit more, but it only warrants attributing OpenStreetMap). We therefore added the annotation "Map data © OpenStreetMap contributors" to all maps of this post using rOpenSci's magick package. You might also have noticed in the code earlier that both osmdata and osmplotr have start-up messages indicating the data origin and licence.
Another package of rOpenSci's interacting with open geographical data, that might be of interest for making maps, is rnaturalearth that facilitates interaction with Natural Earth map data.
We also used two other rOpenSci packages: bbox to get a bounding box and magick for image manipulation. Explore more of our packages suite, including and beyond the geospatial category, here.
We also used the geodist package for ultra lightweight, ultra fast calculation of geo distances. This package is developed in the hypertidy GitHub organization which is a good place to find useful R geospatial packages. Other good resources for geospatial analyses with R include the r-spatial.org website and this great book by Robin Lovelace, Jakub Nowosad and Jannes Muenchow, and more links presented in this blog post of Steph Locke's.
Stay tuned for the next post in this series, about getting bird observation data in R! In the meantime, happy birding!

Ghost of Halloween
Ghostbusters: The Board Game
Played By:
William E. Martin[1][2]
Class Level:
Samhain[3][Note 1][4] is the Ghost of Halloween and one of the few villains to face the Ghostbusters on more than one occasion. He is a strategic ghost with the ability to manipulate time in order to cause eternal night. Samhain also has the ability to control legions of ghosts at his command, however certain ghosts such as Slimer seem able to resist him to a certain extent.
Samhain dates back to seventh century Ireland, where Halloween started out as the Feast of Samhain.[5] It was recorded that he was an unstoppable creature of the night.[6] At some point he was trapped in stone.[7] Samhain remained imprisoned in the ancient clock for centuries. In the 1980s, the clock was brought from Ireland to New York to be on display in a museum. As a result, P.K.E. activity spiked.[8] Two weeks later, Samhain was released from his captivity by his two goblin minions on Halloween night. Once set free, he gathered all the ghosts he could and sent his minions all over New York. He also used his powers to halt the night as he planed to make Halloween an eternal night that will last forever all over the world.[9] The Ghostbusters however ran all over town capturing his minions, to which Samhain confronted them out of rage. However, the Ghostbusters used his weakness against light to stun him.[10] Egon came up with a plan to use all the lights in the city on Samhain but a blackout occurred.[11] While Peter, Ray, and Winston distracted Samhain and his minions with a frontal assault, Egon set up spotlights around the building he perched atop. He was captured (along with his minions) just before the world fell under his evil reign forever. He was placed into the Containment Unit where it was assumed that he would stay.
For quite some time, Samhain remained in his prison. Yet despite getting along with his fellow inmates, he never enjoyed being imprisoned. The next year after Samhain was captured, Dyb Devlin used an illusion of Samhain on Ray and Winston in the second part of his game show Race the Devil.[12] It was a trick to fool the Ghostbusters into giving up. While revealing the fake Samhain, Dyb said, "Why, it's an old friend of yours." "It's Samhain, the living embodiment of Halloween!" But during the battle, Ray realized they already captured the real Samhain. The real one was still in the Containment Unit. Once Ray realized this, he stood his ground and defeated the fake Samhain with his bare hands.
The next Halloween, Samhain was released from the Containment Unit thanks to his two goblins liberating him again. This time Samhain's primary goal was to take revenge on the Ghostbusters for his long imprisonment. He summoned more ghosts and quickly took over the Ghostbusters' headquarters, transforming it into his new fortress. The Ghostbusters managed to get everyone else and escaped just before the headquarters completely transformed. The Ghostbusters attempted to use his weakness to light again, but Samhain set up a protective barrier around the fortress that only other ghosts could pass through. Samhain then led his minions around the town to search for the Ghostbusters, allowing the Jr. Ghostbusters to investigate the fortress. The Junior Ghostbusters were chased by sentries and later caught by ghosts led by Samhain. The Ghostbusters used a camera hooked up to Slimer and saw that Samhain's fortress was held together by a keystone that was in exactly the same place that the Containment Unit was in.[13][14] The Ghostbusters attacked Samhain in his fortress and blasted the stone from outside the fortress while Slimer attempted to save the kids. After the Jr. Ghostbusters got out, the keystone was destroyed, causing the entire fortress to crumble and unveil the Containment Unit (which was left open after Samhain escaped).[15] With the Containment Unit still active, Samhain and his minions were sucked back into their prison. Over the years, Samhain seemed to get along with his fellow inmates (even playing a few card games with them during the Poso incident).
For the months, after being recaptured, Samhain had been constantly chanting the word "Evening" without end. His chanting allowed him to finally escape the Containment Unit through a moebius strip-shaped rift and he took Slimer, Janine, and Louis hostage. He invoked the name of the Druid god, Muck Olla, then called for his minions.[16] As his minions stormed through New York, the Ghostbusters teamed up with an ancient wizard named Phineas Evantide, who they encountered on a previous mission, and were successfully able to recapture him. Samhain worried another failure meant he was abandoned by the Celtic gods.[17] Samhain then made another attempt to escape via a second extended session of chanting. His attempt was cut off abruptly by a new foghorn the Ghostbusters installed in the Containment Unit that fired off loudly whenever the word "Evening" was said. The other ghosts in the unit immediately forbid him from ever saying the word again.
After the incident, Winston remembered all the pain he'd gone through as a Ghostbuster.[18] The Ghostbusters later encountered a Troll revealed that he was once a minion of the Halloween ghost. The Troll thought Samhain's ideology went too far and was banished from Trolldom as a consequence of speaking out against him.[19][20] Samhain was mentioned again, the next year, when Egon explained how the Boogieman managed to escape the Containment Unit.[21]
Samhain returned once more. Since the barrier between the land of the living and land of the dead was at its weakest during Halloween, Samhain planned to shattered it, focus the power of terror, and absorb the energies released.[22][23] Samhain seemingly met his ultimate demise when the Ghostbusters turned his plan against him. They used their Proton Packs to form a makeshift containment field around Samhain. The field allowed energy in, but not out. Samhain suffered an ectoplasmic overload and imploded.[24]
From Role-Playing Adventure book Series
Samhain, very similar but not specifically the same, is a villain of the role-playing series (Tobin's Spirit Guide on page 50 and Pumpkin Patch Panic as the main villain).
See Samhain (RPG) for more information
A ghost named Ralph is trapped and placed into the Containment Unit. He is greeted by Samhain, who assures him he is not alone. Samhain explained he was put into a prison by the Ghostbusters and instructs him to take a moment to acclimate in order to see the other entities captured. Samhain seemed to encourage Ralph's fear to grow. Once Ralph started to panic about being stuck in the Containment Unit, Samhain was overwhelmed by the amount of fear projected. It turned out to be the Boogieman posing as Samhain as part of a strategy to invoke fear and feed on it to regain power.
When two teams of Ghostbusters captured Proteus in their Proton Streams, the god was forced to show them the future. Since eight men captured him at once, he had to show eight futures at once. One of the futures gleaned was of Samhain after he was released from the Containment Unit.
Ghost Card Information
To Hit: 4 or higher, add a Stream
To Trap: 5 Streams
When Hit: Samhain moves 1 space towards that Ghostbuster.
When Trapped: Place it on your Character Card.
When Missed: A Ghost emerges from Samhain, then Samhain moves 1 space in a random direction.
Samhain is unaffected by combat unless he is in front of the Ecto-1 and within Line of Sight of the front space of the Ecto-1 (in the green spaces as shown at right).
After Samhain moves, any Ghost within his Line of Sight moves 1 space in the same direction.
At the end of each Ghostbuster's turn, Samhain moves 1 space towards the nearest Open Gate.
At the end of each Round, if Samhain is adjacent to an Open Gate, a Ghost emerges from him for each Closed Gate.
Samhain is the Ghost of Halloween. Believing that ghosts have been eternally mistreated, Samhain's ultimate goal is to create a world ghosts rule and lord over humanity. Samhain is an incredibly formidable entity with powers including the ability to halt time, control legions of ghosts and expel black lightning.
He is not driven by pure malice, but righting what he feels is a wrong. Samhain also exhibits compassion when ghosts, goblins or trolls are threatened and will fight to aid them. His biggest weakness is captivity, which renders him nearly powerless.
Since his debut, Samhain has made many appearances throughout the Ghostbuster franchise, he was one of the ghosts to make a cameo appearance on the second opening theme song and even made an appearance on the Extreme Ghostbusters theme song and end song (though never appeared in any actual episodes). He also made numerous cameo appearances throughout the show. Samhain has also appeared in the Now Ghostbusters Comics in two comics, and was mentioned in three other comics. He was also the only ghosts from Extreme Ghostbusters (other than Slimer) to receive a toy. Likewise, the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man was the only ghost in The Real Ghostbusters to receive a toy other than Slimer.
In Ghostbusters: The Board Game, Samhain is a Class 6.
As the Ghost of Halloween, Samhain is a very formidable foe for the Ghostbusters. He is legendary and a number of ghosts seem somewhat terrified of him. Samhain possesses the ability to halt time and cause eternal night. He has attempted to use this power at various times, but is always defeated by the Ghostbusters in the end and his spell is broken. Samhain also has the ability to control entire legions of ghosts, though it is unknown if he controls them himself or they obey him out of fear. The latter may be the most possible as Slimer seemed to drawn by force to him yet did not seem to want to obey him. Samhain also possess an ability to fire black lighting, as he fired one at Peter Venkman and the other Ghostbusters during their first encounter. His powers seem to be at their highest point on Halloween as the Ghostbusters were being overworked with a huge increase in ghost activity. Samhain's only real weakness seems to be captivity, as it is the only way to prevent him from halting the night forever. While captive, Samhain is virtually powerless to escape, though he can be released should his prison come in contact with an infinity symbol. He also can be warded off by light as a number of ghosts can. This weakness was used against him during his first encounter with the Ghostbusters and they attempted to use it against him during his second coming.
Samhain mainly uses other ghosts, specifically Goblins, to aid him on his mission, however he is usually aided by Two Goblin Minions.
Samhain is also allied with the Trolls.
Based on Folklore
Samhain's name comes from the old term. The Samhain term is another word for Halloween in a few Gaelic languages. The Scottish Gaelic spelling is Samhainn or Samhuinn (for the feast), or an t-Samhain (for the month). The Festival of Samhain is a celebration of the end of the harvest season in Gaelic culture, and is generally regarded as 'The Celtic New Year'.
The same word was used for a month in the ancient Celtic calendar, in particular the first three nights of this month, with the festival marking the end of the summer season and the end of the harvest. A modernized version of this festival continues today in some of the traditions of the Catholic All Souls' Day, the secular Halloween, and in folk practices of Samhain itself in the Celtic Nations and the Irish and Scottish diasporas. It is also observed by various types of Neopagans.
Wikipedia has more information and the correct way to pronounce it.
Samhain is the type of character to take direct action, led solely by his mission. Samhain believes that ghosts have been treated unfairly in this world due to people like the Ghostbusters. He is guided by a mission to give ghosts like him a world where they rule and humans are the less dominant ones. Unlike many villains the Ghostbusters have faced, he has compassion for the ghosts he commands as he refers to them as his "little ones."[25] He is willing to enter a battle and protect his minions if he feels they are being harmed. However despite his compassion, he is willing to use some force if they do not cooperate with him, as he threatened to dissipate Slimer when he refused to attack the humans and took him hostage when he recognized the close relationship between him and the Ghostbusters. Samhain's interactions with Slimer show a darker and tyrannical side to his personality, as he shows contempt for one of his "little ones" disobeying his orders and attempting to coexist peacefully with humans (though this may be because the group of humans that Slimer associates with are the Ghostbusters, who Samhain hates for hunting ghosts) and tries to convince Slimer that it is a futile endeavor and that he can only be home amongst Samhain's legions. When this fails, he is willing to destroy Slimer, although he expresses regret about having to do so.
Samhain's appearance has been altered numerous times throughout the franchise. In his first appearance, he had worn a brown cloak with a large collar. His pumpkin head also had pupils in in its eyes, teeth and gums. The rest of his body was colored orange. After his first appearance, his eyes were made into empty pumpkin eyes and his cloak was made purple. He remained this way throughout all his cameos. When he returned in "Halloween II 1/2" as the main villain, his cloak was changed back to brown, but his eyes still lacked pupils. In the second intro to the show and his cameo in the episode "Partners in Slime," Samhain wore a purple cloak and had white skeleton hands.
When Samhain appeared in Extreme Ghostbusters intro and credits sequences, his appearance was greatly altered. His pumpkin head was made green with a carrot nose and reduced greatly in size. His cloak was also made red with a smaller collar. His skin parts were also changed to flesh color. His pumpkin also did not have a yellow glow in the holes like it usually did, instead the inside of the pumpkin glowed blue. Even though he never appeared in the show, Samhain was given a figure in the Extreme Ghostbusters toyline. However, the toy did not resemble his appearance on the show's intro. Instead the toy featured a black cloak, which appeared more like a cape while the rest of Samhain featured an under robe. Samhain's flesh parts were also made a ghoulish white color. His toy also had a huge orange pumpkin head like the way he originally appeared on The Real Ghostbusters, but his head could now come off to reveal a hideous eyeball and teeth.
In the Now Ghostbusters comic book series, Samhain's pumpkin appeared more wrinkled and freighting than in the show. Samhain's cloak was also purple at all times, never brown. Samhain's hands were also green instead of orange like in the show. Samhain also had a green skinny neck that held up his pumpkin, something that was never shown in the T.V. series.
Samhain's link to the Halloween Deal or Boogaloo was never explored.

Leading senior Television journalist and anchor, Arnab Goswami, resigned as the Editor-in Chief of Times Now. He was missed during his prime time show, 'The Newshour' for the past couple of days.
Arnab Goswami began his career with'The Telegraph' in Kolkata in 1994. He joined NDTV in 1995, and was one of the most noticeable faces apart from Vikram Chandra and Rajdeep Sardesai. He joined 'Times Now' in 2006, as an Editor-in-Chief. His unique style, on his show, was often criticised for being too judgmental. He was the favourite of his fans and also of the critics.
According to a report in The Quint, Goswami had confirmed his resignation to Times Now employees, with various bureaus like Delhi joining in via video conferencing. During the conference Goswami said, "Independent media is going to thrive," and further said that he would not be quitting television media or the news industry, adding, "The game has just begun." This phrase was repeated at least 15 times during the hour long speech.
Although the sources hinted about Arnab's resignation, the channel is showing teasers of Newshour with 'Arnab is Back' flashes. It is widely rumoured that Goswami resigned to start something on his own.
According to Business Standard, Arnab Goswami may venture to start a 'news channel' with politician and entrepreneur Rajeev Chandrasekhar and American media baron Rupert Murdoch.
It was also alleged that Goswami might join Fox News. However, Indianexpress.com could not confirm the reports.


Edan-Edanan is part of wedding ceremonies in Yogyakarta. There are many ceremonies in traditional wedding and Edan-Edanan Dance is used to sweep out misfortune. The dancers in the traditional costumes and clown makeup are the symbol of spirit. The brides invited them to protect the brides and their household from any bad luck.
This is the unique part of the traditional wedding ceremony that I love. It is good entertainment also for the guests in the wedding party. Here are photos from my friends who did edan-edanan dance in some wedding ceremonies.
Edan-edanan means (being crazy) it is from Javanese language Edan (crazy). That is why the dancers in the performance were dancing like they're crazy. If I'm not mistaken crazy people is considered as people who doesn't have any sin. They can be very brave and don't care with bad things happened around them. If people do bad things toward them, they will get angry and fight it. But I'm still looking for the exactly meaning why the people call it edan-edan and the relation between being crazy and avoiding misfortune.
Such lovely pics…Thanks for introducing me to this unique ritual of your culture!
Yes was great.Finding a room to sleep in during the middle of the craziness was a little bit hard, though.
This is amazing. Safira, you have the best photos and I learn so much about your part of the world through them. Thank you so much for this post, and for your blog. I really enjoy it.

At the 2012 TEDxReset Conference in Istanbul, futurist speaker Thomas Frey predicted that over 2 billion jobs would disappear by 2030, led by big losers in the power, transportation, and education industries.1Thomas Frey. (February 3, 2012). 2 Billion Jobs to Disappear by 2030. Retrieved from http://www.futuristspeaker.com/2012/02/2-billion-jobs-to-disappear-by-2030 Most of the jobs cut will be casualties of economies of scale and efficiency. This isn't a new threat. Automation has evolved its bulls-eye; having decimated the labor markets of the agricultural and later industrial models, it has now aimed treacherously toward a human capital-heavy, professional service sector.
What does digitization and automation mean for the financial industry?
Forget the advent of automated teller machines. ATMs and even credit cards are beginning to become artifacts in an era where nearly every professional entertains the processing power of a fully-functioning computer in their pockets. Consider that the equivalent of 87% of the world's population comprises the total mobile subscriber universe.2Global mobile statistics 2012. (Feburary 2012). PART A: Mobile subsribers; handset data; mobile operators. Retrieved from http://mobithinking.com/mobile-marketing-tools/latest-mobile-stats#subscribers In the US, about a quarter of web users are mobile-only.3Global mobile statistics 2012. (Feburary 2012). PART A: Mobile subsribers; handset data; mobile operators. Retrieved from http://mobithinking.com/mobile-marketing-tools/latest-mobile-stats#subscribers Now, even the precious plastic of credit card providers is slowly losing its behemoth share of commerce to smartphones with new technologies that embed banking and payment options.
The Apple App Store and Android Marketplace have numerous financial planning and advising apps, including ones by big banks and web power players such as Mint.com. In 2011, over 15% of all finance searches were mobile.4Global mobile statistics 2012. (Feburary 2012). PART A: Mobile subsribers; handset data; mobile operators. Retrieved from http://mobithinking.com/mobile-marketing-tools/latest-mobile-stats#subscribers These numbers may be chalked up to an increased need for information (accompanying wealth gains in participating parties), and easier, frictionless access to Darwinistic search engine results all vying for valuable face time and loyalty.
Many of the apps and web-based tools for the finance industry have been complementary to real-life advice and direction from planners, advisors and accountants. Many of the tools are powerful calculators for specialty-professional use. Others simply grant 3rd-party access to account information. But what happens when software rears its head directly toward the interactions that define the relationships of clients with their advisors, planners and CPAs?
The service is similar in style to Mint.com: It pulls different account information onto one platform and then offers a real-time, insightful overview without the need for any manual entry. What's their secret sauce? How do they make money?
Sounds perfect, no? Maybe we should all call the finance industry quits and bow down to our algorithmic software overlords. The financial services industry is more vulnerable than ever, right?
Sound familiar? There are limits to the processing power of an algorithm. Software cannot be aware of your experiences, dreams, hopes or fears. Software does not understand your tolerance for risk, and even if it did, we as consumers require explanations and qualifications from our service professionals. Without addressing the core weakness of this or any other start-up, how can something as important as your financial future not be a nuanced communication process and long-term exploration?
Relying on software to give you answers on your IRA or 401k without any description of why or how, for example, is akin to relying solely on WebMD for your health diagnosis and treatment options. Now imagine if WebMD was flawed by numerous conflict-of-interests.
Maybe tools like this app are not as threatening as we think. As we mentioned above, technology helps evolve job roles and responsibilities in specialty knowledge areas. Wealth management is not the same as booking the cheapest flight online. The depth of investment options, asset allocation decisions, and risk tolerance relies on a variety of critical but personalized assumptions. A chart comparing different funds and offering hypothetical earning opportunities does not take into consideration the nuisances of market volatility. In fact, most times only a subject-matter expert will completely understand the "how's-it-goings" of an account feed.
Apps like this shift the focus to trading more, which generally correlates negatively to long-term returns. Furthermore, when hackers have broken into the security systems of commerce giants such as Visa, will users feel comfortable giving all of their bank and account passwords to a start-up, even if the encryption means the company doesn't actually see any of the information? Storing all of that sensitive information on a server is a risky bet.
Moreover, while advisors are accountable to their clients (especially fee-only and fiduciaries) and heavily monitored by regulatory agencies, new tech tools are not as scrutinized. The firm we've been talking about, for instance, earns a commission only on new investments made through the site's recommendations, and they insist that there is no "pay-to-play…[no] privileged ranking."9Taylor, Colleen. (May 1, 2012). SigFig Launches To Be The Data-Driven Financial Planner Of Your Dreams. TechCruch.com. Retrieved from http://techcrunch.com/2012/05/01/sigfig-beta-launch/ Again, how does the client verify this? What guarantee does a client receive that this won't change?
Whereas transparency is a mandate of the firm philosophy in financial advising offices—"this is what we do and this is how we do it"—mobile tools like this barter clarity for convenience.
Rest easy, advisors. Your job is safe for the time being—at least until GoogAppleMazonBook builds a semantic robot that draws on a lifetime of web and mobile data. In that case, it will probably be smart enough to delete this article off the face of the Internet!

sherman oaks orthodontist | Mehdi Fotovat, D.D.S.
Can Choosing Invisalign Really Keep My Mouth Healthier?
Invisalign has a lot of benefits when it comes to straightening your teeth and looking good while you're doing it, but it also has a great number of benefits when it comes to your oral health.
Invisalign is a system used to straighten teeth utilizing clear plastic trays known as aligners. These aligners are applied in a series over time. When one aligner has done its job, the next tray in the series replaces it.
Invisalign is unique among orthodontia used to straighten teeth in that they are removed when the patient is eating food or cleaning his or her teeth. Because of this, no food becomes stuck inside the standard metal bands and brackets of typical braces, and the decay that begins in the trapped food never gets a foothold in the mouths of those wearing Invisalign.
Metal braces can make it difficult and time-consuming to brush and floss properly. The braces trap food particles and bacteria around the teeth and hidden in the rubber bands. In order to clean them properly, wearers must thread floss in between each bracket, one after another. Most people skip some teeth and only do part of the mouth. Brushing can also be a challenge, and brushes will wear out faster and can't reach some areas of the mouth.
Invisalign aligners are removed during cleanings, so you are brushing and flossing your teeth just like you always did. Also, since the process takes a fraction of the time compared to metal braces, you're far more likely to floss your whole mouth. This way, your mouth stays cleaner and you ensure your continued oral health.
Talk to your orthodontist to learn about all of the oral health benefits of Invisalign over traditional braces. What you learn might lead you to choose Invisalign to straighten your teeth.
A family dentistry practice can do everything any other dentist is able to do, only they are able to do it for your whole family, sometimes at the same time! Family dentists recognize that your time is valuable, and they offer a variety of dental services to children as young as one year or to adults long past retirement. A family dentist knows your family's complete dental history, and can give you the best advice and treatment based on that knowledge and their expertise.
A family dentist will do routine check-ups, x-rays, preventative care, and cleanings for your entire family. With a little planning ahead, you can schedule concurrent appointments for you and for other family members, such as your children, allowing you to have three or more appointments in the span of time allowed for one. Think of the time you will save!
A family dentistry practice will offer such services as dental crowns, dental bridges and tooth-colored fillings. They will also offer extractions, root canal therapies or emergency care, and can offer such cosmetic services such as veneers or tooth whitening.
You can trust your family dentist with your teeth for life. He or she will know important details about the formative years of your children's teeth, including their dental hygiene routines and diet histories. Because your child won't have to find another dentist as he or she ages, your child will be more comfortable and at ease with your family dentist. The surroundings and the staff will be familiar, leading to a greater likelihood of returning for routine preventative care.
Your family dentist may also offer sedation dentistry, especially to those patients who experience fear or anxiety about dental visits. Young, anxious children may benefit from sedation dentistry, allowing them to relax, to comply with the dentist's instructions and to stay still.
Your family dentist is committed to you, the patient. They want to create and maintain a long-lasting relationship with you and your family, remaining your choice of dentist for years to come.
Is a Family Dentist Right for Your Child?
The American Dental Association suggests that children visit a dentist by the age of one. Most experts recommend you take your child to their first dental appointment within six months of the first tooth's eruption. When this time comes, you may wonder if your family dentist is an appropriate choice for your child's dental health needs.
A family dentist sees patients of all ages and can treat a child from infancy through their teens and into adulthood. Your family dentist likely already has a well-established relationship with your entire family and has knowledge of any family health history which may apply to your child.
Most family dentists offer a full range of services, including many that are specific to children. Regular check-ups, cleanings, fillings, x-rays, sealant application, and orthodontia assessment are all services your family dentist can provide.
Education is also a major part of any family practice. Your family dentist can help your child understand the importance of daily oral care, as well advise you on a broad range of other oral health topics specific to your child.
If you take your child for their first visit around the time the first tooth erupts, they will be too young to be nervous. However, if you wait until they are older, your child may be anxious when visiting your family dentist. Prepare your child for their first visit by taking them to one of your appointments to see you having your teeth cleaned and examined, or look for books geared to teaching children about dental visits. Make sure your child is well rested before the visit and plan plenty of time so the visit is not rushed. These simple steps will help your child feel relaxed and comfortable with your family dentist.
When the time comes for your child's first dental visit, you can enjoy the convenience and flexibility of visiting your trusted family dental practice while feeling confident they will be receiving the best oral health care available.
Invisalign is a popular treatment for straightening teeth that avoids the hassle and unattractive appearance of traditional metal braces. Using custom fit clear aligner trays that fit over the teeth, Invisalign has an almost invisible appearance. Invisalign aligners are comfortable and are designed to be worn about twenty-two hours per day. The aligner trays should be replaced every two weeks.
Invisalign aligners are worn all day, and should only be removed when eating or for brushing and flossing of your teeth. To ensure the aligner trays work effectively, they should be worn even when sleeping.
Refrain from sugary foods and drinks when you are wearing the aligners to prevent teeth from developing cavities. Avoid chewing gum completely, as it will damage your aligners. Whenever possible, drink through a straw while wearing your aligners.
Your orthodontist should provide you with an official Invisalign cleaning kit. This kit contains a special cleaner that is dissolved in water and used to clear the aligners of debris, plaque, and odors. Every time you brush your teeth you should also brush your aligners. Removing the trays when you eat will also protect them from staining.
It is possible to wear your Invisalign aligners while playing contact sports. However, you may want to consider a mouth guard to offer additional protection to your teeth. Never leave your aligners in a place that is warmer than your mouth, as heat will do permanent damage to them. When not in use, always store your aligners in the case provided by your orthodontist.
With proper care, treatment with Invisalign will result in a beautiful, straight new smile you can enjoy for years to come.
Every member of your family needs a dedicated dental professional who is specialized in handling the oral health needs of each age group. Regular checkups, proper hygiene, and professional cleanings all contribute to a healthy and attractive smile. Whether it's the parents, kids, or grandparents, everyone should visit the family dentist.
Pediatric patients require special treatment based on their oral development as well as their emotional stages. Family dentists are familiar with the evolving needs of young patients, who grow from no teeth to baby teeth to permanent teeth. They teach children how to properly care for their teeth and gums, and advise on the do's and don'ts related to diet and safety. The dentist and staff are also well-trained on keeping children happy and engaged while in the dental office. Family dentists can make kids feel comfortable and confident in the dentist's chair so they'll have a positive dental experience for life.
With adulthood comes challenges such as increased risk for gum disease, tooth loss, decay that may require root canal treatment, cavities that need replacement, and more. Even with good oral hygiene, normal wear and tear on the mouth can cause issues. That's why regular checkups are important to catch problems early, plus professional cleanings to combat the signs of age and environment on the teeth. Issues like heart disease or diabetes are also more likely during the adult years, and can impact your oral health.
