Lomachenko – Pedraza and More
Thomas Hauser
Boxing returned to the Hulu Theater at Madison Square Garden on December 1. Vasyl Lomachenko vs. Jose Pedraza in the main event drew a sellout crowd of 5,312. The non-televised undercard was respectable. And the three-fight telecast that followed the Heisman Trophy presentation on ESPN had moments of drama.
The first televised bout of the evening showcased Teofimo Lopez (10-0, 8 KOs), a 21-year-old lightweight who's rapidly moving from prospect to contender status. Mason Menard (34-3, 24 KOs) was Lopez's designated victim. All three of Menard's losses had been by knockout and this was expected to be the fourth "KO by" on his record.
Lopez has all the confidence and arrogance of a young fighter with a big punch who's on the rise. It took him all of 44 seconds to blast Menard into oblivion.
Next up, 24-year-old Isaac Dogboe (20-0, 14 KOs) sought to defend his WBO 122-pound title against Emanuel Navarrete (25-1, 22 KOs) of Mexico. Dogboe was born in Ghana but grew up in England. He claimed his belt with an eleventh-round stoppage of Jessie Magdaleno in April of this year and was considered a fighter who doesn't need protecting.
Navarrete was fighting outside of Mexico for the first time, which is often a sign of a padded record.
Dogboe entered the bout as a 7-to-1 betting favorite and mounted a two-fisted assault to the head and body in the first stanza. But Navarrete had come to fight and began landing shots of his own in round two, at which point Issaac's chin seemed a bit suspect. As the bout wore on, Dogboe did his best work on the inside. When he gave Navarrete room to punch, Emanuel obliged him.
It was a spirited, back-and forth, action encounter that was even after eight rounds. Then Navarrete picked up the pace and won the final four frames going away. By the end, Dogboe's face was badly swollen; his left eye was almost shut; and he was trying simply to survive. He made it to the final bell but was dethroned by a 116-112, 116-112, 115-113 margin.
Good fight, good decision.
Lomachenko (11, 9 KOs) vs. Pedraza (25-1, 12 KOs) was promoted on the basis of both men having titles, which is a little like promoting a title-unification football game between the Big Ten and Ivy League champions.
Lomachenko's ring prowess has been amply catalogued. Twelve of his professional bouts have been contested for world titles. He's an elite fighter while Pedraza is a good one. In match ups like that, the elite fighter almost always wins.
Top Rank had planned to match Lomachenko (the WBO 135-pound champion) against Raymundo Beltran (the WBA beltholder) as part of an "immigrant-from-Mexico-gets-citizenship" feel-good story. But Pedraza upset the apple cart in August of this year by winning a unanimous-decision over Beltran.
Lomachenko was returning to the ring after surgery to repair a torn labrum suffered in his right shoulder during a May 12 victory over Jorge Linares. Still, Vasyl was an early 12-to-1 favorite over Pedraza and the odds moved as high as 20-to-1 reflecting the fighters' respective ring skills.
The crowd was highly-partisan in favor of Lomachenko. Fighters from Puerto Rico are rarely booed in New York during pre-fight introductions, but it happened here.
It was an interesting exercise for boxing purists. The early rounds were tactically fought. Then Lomachenko figured out what he had to do to beat Pedraza down and did it. Many of the early rounds were close enough that the judges could have given them to whichever fighter they wanted to. But Lomachenko pulled away late, putting an exclamation mark on his performance with two eleventh-round knockdowns that came close to ending matters short of the 119-107, 117-112, 117-112 judges' verdict in his favor.
Lomachenko looked a bit less "high tech" against Pedraza than he has in the past. He didn't exploit angles as effectively and control the range as well as in some of his earlier fights. Part of that was because Pedraza is fast on his feet and spent long portions of the evening jabbing and moving away. Another reason might be that Lomachenko's best fighting weight by his own evaluation is 130 pounds. There were times when he had trouble with Jorge Linares's height and reach when he fought Linares seven months ago. And that was true for stretches of time against the taller Pedraza. Mikey Garcia might be a bit too big for Lomachenko.

Michael Coffie vs. Darmani Rock Smacks of Joe Joyce vs. Daniel Dubois
Arne K. Lang
Although it wasn't a world title fight, the match between Joe Joyce and Daniel Dubois which took place in London on the Saturday after Thanksgiving, attracted a lot of buzz. Only one heavyweight bout in 2020 was more eagerly anticipated, that being the rematch in February between Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder.
Joyce vs. Dubois was that rare pairing of two undefeated heavyweights who were roughly at the same stage of their career. Dubois was 15-0 (14 KOs) heading in; Joyce was 11-0 (10).
And that brings us to the crossroads fight on Jan. 30 at the LA Shrine Expo between Darmani Rock (17-0, 12 KOs) and Michael Coffie (11-0, 8 KOs). Unlike Joyce vs. Dubois, this is not a well-marinated showdown, but yet there are some parallels, most notably it's a match between unbeaten heavyweights in which the victor will undoubtedly make a big jump in public esteem and the loser, more than likely, will be pushed back into the shadows.
There was a big age gap in the Joyce-Dubois fight. The 35-year-old Joyce was the older man by 12 years. Likewise, Rock vs. Coffie features a young old-timer vs. an opponent who is merely young.
Michael Coffie, 34, came to boxing late after serving eight years in the Marine Corps. He entered the New York City Golden Gloves tournament on a whim and with virtually no formal training and yet he succeeded in reaching the finals.
When Coffie (pictured) turned pro, his manager was none other than Randy Gordon, the former chairman of the New York State Athletic Commission who has kept his hand in boxing as a journalist and radio personality, co-hosting a boxing-themed talk show on Sirius FM with Gerry Cooney. Gordon knows more than a little about heavyweights, having been involved with Bonecrusher Smith who was briefly (very briefly) the WBA world heavyweight champion.
"(Bonecrusher) was not anywhere near the fighter that Mike is," Gordon told Hall of Fame boxing writer Bernard Fernandez on the occasion of Coffie's pro debut in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. On that night, Coffie needed only 61 seconds to dismiss his opponent, ending the contest with a short right hand. The sacrificial lamb, wrote Fernandez, "went down like an anvil dropped in the ocean."
In his most recent fight, on Nov. 7, Coffie was matched against Minnesota veteran Joey Abell, a noted spoiler. Abell would have been a good measuring rod for assessing Coffie's progress, but unfortunately the bout was over almost before it started. Early in the second round, Abell suffered a biceps injury while throwing a punch and couldn't continue.
The "A" side in this fight, however, isn't Coffie but the other guy. Darmani Rock, 24, had an outstanding amateur career, winning several important tournaments including the 2014 Youth World Championships in Sofia, Bulgaria. Rock was upset in the finals of the 2016 Olympic Trials and then turned pro, signing with Roc Nation, the deep pockets sports management company founded by Jay-Z.
Darmani Rock on the right
Questions have been raised, however, about Rock's dedication. He weighed 278 pounds in his last fight, 30 pounds more than in his pro debut. (Coffie's fighting weight also hovers around 270 and he is the same approximate height – both are listed at 6'5" — but Coffie has always been big.) Moreover, Rock has been inactive for 15 months and may have trouble shaking off the rust.
Darmani Rock hails from Philadelphia; Michael Coffie from Brooklyn, more fodder for the tub-thumpers. Philadelphia was the stomping grounds of Smokin' Joe Frazier. The City of Brotherly Love has arguably produced more good prizefighters per capita than any city in the country. Brooklyn spawned Mike Tyson, Riddick Bowe, and Shannon Briggs, all of whom bubbled out of gritty Brownsville which also happens to be the neighborhood where Michael Coffie spent much of his youth until he was spirited away to a less threatening environment by foster parents.
I don't want to get carried away with the Joyce-Dubois analogy. Joe Joyce had a stronger amateur pedigree than Darmani Rock. Daniel Dubois had a spectacular run leading up to his match with Joyce including a one-sided triumph over well-regarded Nathan Gorman. Moreover, neither Joyce nor Dubois had ever fought an opponent with a losing record. The same can't be said of Coffie and Rock who have built their records on the backs of the usual suspects. Darmani Rock's last two opponents were both 42 years old.
Moreover, Coffie vs. Rock isn't the main attraction on the PBC card. Top billing goes to Caleb Plant's 168-pound title defense against Caleb Truax.
As we recall, the Joyce-Dubois fight produced a major upset. Dubois was understood to be faster on his feet and more heavy-handed – considered more likely to turn the tide with a single punch – but youth was not served on that night at the historic Church House in Westminster. Joyce methodically peppered Dubois with his jab which caused a big lump to develop over Dubois's left eye. The eye eventually shut completely and the fight ended in the 10th round with Dubois taking a knee and allowing himself to be counted out. Joyce's victory elevated him to #2 in the WBO rankings, a notch below Oleksandr Usyk who is potentially his next opponent.
One doesn't know what will transpire when Coffie fights Rock, but as Michael Buffer would say, "someone's 'O' will have to go." Fights of this nature are inherently intriguing and that goes double when the combatants are heavyweights.

"One Night in Miami": Film Review by Thomas Hauser
On February 25, 1964, Cassius Marcellus Clay Jr. defeated Charles "Sonny" Liston in Miami Beach over the course of six remarkable rounds to claim the heavyweight championship of the world. Late that night, the new champion found himself in a room at Hampton House (a black hotel in segregated Miami) with Malcolm X, several other followers of Nation of Islam leader Elijah Muhammad, and football great Jim Brown. Soul singer Sam Cooke (a friend of Clay's) had been at the fight, but there's no historical record of his being in the hotel room with the others at that time.
One Night in Miami is built around imagining what transpired in that room amongst Malcolm X, Cassius Clay, Jim Brown, and Sam Cooke. Directed by Regina King from a screenplay by Kemp Powers, it's available on Amazon Prime.
The film fits into the genre known as historical fiction. Dramatic license was taken. Viewers should understand that, at times, it's allegorical rather than an accurate factual recounting. The larger question is whether the film is impressionistically honest. The answer is "yes."
One Night in Miami begins with the 1963 fight between Clay and Henry Cooper in London. It then segues to Cooke being treated rudely by an all-white audience at the Copacabana, followed by Jim Brown (the greatest running back in National Football League history) being reminded by a patronizing southern gentleman that he's just a "n—–." Next, we see Malcolm as the Nation of Islam's most charismatic spokesman, after which the scene shifts to Liston-Clay I.
Thirty-four minutes into the film, the drama moves to Hampton House.
Malcolm X, Cassius Clay, Jim Brown, and Sam Cooke were prominent in different ways. Each was young, black, and famous. But Malcolm was a social and religious figure of considerable intellect while the other three were known as entertainers.
The dialogue between the four men is light at first and then turns serious.
Malcolm is played by Kingsley Ben-Adir. On what should have been one of the greatest nights of his life, his world is slipping away. His deadly rupture with Elijah Muhammad is almost complete. Soon, Clay will abandon him. Ben-Adir comes across as a bit weaker and more tentative than one might expect, although Malcolm's intellect is evident in his performance.
It's hard to imagine anyone playing Cassius Clay well except the young Muhammad Ali. But Eli Goree bears a resemblance to Clay and is pretty good in the role.
Jim Brown was an intimidating physical presence. Aldis Hodge lacks this physicality but his performance is solid.
Leslie Odom Jr, who plays Sam Cooke, has star quality. He's the only one of the four major actors who has the charisma and presence of the man he's portraying. But as a result, Cooke has a stronger on-screen persona than Malcolm. That's a problem as tensions between the two men boil over.
Toward the end of the film, Malcolm reveals that he intends to leave the Nation of Islam because of differences with Elijah Muhammad and will found a new organization.
"Who's gonna be in this new organization?" Clay asks.
"I think lots of people will follow me over," Malcolm answers. "Especially if you come with me."
Clay, of course, didn't follow Malcolm. He sided with Elijah Muhammad. One year later, he and Jim Brown were the only participants from the hotel room gathering as portrayed in the film who were still alive. Sam Cooke was shot to death in a California motel on December 11, 1964. On February 21, 1965, Malcolm was assassinated at the Audubon Ballroom in Harlem.
One Night in Miami cautions us that our icons are flesh and blood human beings with strengths and flaws. In its best moments, the film is a powerful reminder that the issues of self-respect, black empowerment, and racial equality are timeless.

Crossover star Holly Holm Adds New Dimensions to Claressa Shields
Kelsey McCarson
She laughs about it now, but back then it wasn't all that funny.
Boxing champion Holly Holm was competing in her first professional MMA fight, and all her years of training inside the ropes as a world champion boxer had just taken over her entire body.
Holm had kicked her opponent down to the ground, so she did what any well-schooled boxer would do. She pivoted away from her fallen prey and headed over to the neutral corner.
All of that was wrong.
"What are you doing?" her coach yelled from cageside. "Finish her!"
It was Holm's first big mistake in moving over from boxing to MMA, but she was lucky that night. It turned out that Holm's opponent was finished whether she had run over there or not, so it was a lesson she could learn without much consequence.
But the instruction of that moment stands true today, so it's just one of the many things Holm has shared with 25-year-old boxing champion Claressa Shields as the two-time Olympic gold medalist attempts to follow in her footsteps.
"I was thinking yeah, that will definitely happen to me!" Shields said.
After Shields signed a three-year promotional deal in December with the Professional Fighters League (PFL), the first thing Shields needed to do was look for the right gym.
Shields found that place at Jackson Wink MMA Academy in Albuquerque, New Mexico, one of the most famous MMA gyms in the country, and the one most recognized among the masses as the home gym of former UFC women's bantamweight champion Holm and pound-for-pound king Jon Jones.
Holm remains the only fighter (male or female) to have won legit world championships in both boxing and MMA, and Shields said Holm welcomed her to Jackson Wink with open arms.
"She's been super great and very nice to me. We both come from the same background…and she actually turned out to be a world champion [in MMA], actually turned out to be really good," Shields said.
But Holm's funny story about her first MMA fight is something that points to just how large a hill Shields has decided to climb.
Whereas pop culture has just recently started to realize the power of habits through the work of writers such as Charles Duhigg and James Clear, it's something professional fighters have known for a long time now.
"Oh, you're going to have a habit of this because you used to box."
That's something Holm tells Shields almost every time they work together, and there are just so many examples.
In fact, just watching the 25-year-old boxing champion trying to learn to do all these new things in a different way is exhausting.
That Shields practically lives inside the gym for weeks at a time so she can train four or five times a day for all the kinds of things she never had to worry about before as a professional boxer is a testament to her seriousness and her courage.
But perhaps the most amazing part of the entire story is that Shields still plans on boxing.
While Holm won world championships in both sports, she achieved those things separately. Meanwhile, Shields said she wants to do the same thing Holm did but at the same time.
So, while I'm standing there with her inside an MMA cage in New Mexico, Shields is plotting fights in both sports. On one hand, she's talking to me about a title unification bout in boxing against Marie-Eve Dicaire. On the other, she's talking about future superfights in MMA against the likes of UFC champ Amanda Nunes.
"I'm trying to separate the two," Shields said specifically about her training that day but she might as well have been talking about her whole life right about now.
It's arguably the most amazing storyline right now in combat sports.
Shields started boxing when she was just 11 years old. She earned her first gold medal at the Olympics at 17 and her second four years later.
Today, Shields is a three-division world champion, and she says she's not nearly finished adding to her growing number of boxing belts.
But all those years and all those successes have built so many habits. Ducking and slipping is great for boxing, but both become considerable detriments to defense when you suddenly have to worry about things like knees and kicks.
And what about wrestling and jiu-jitsu?
But all that stuff together is exactly what makes Shields' epic decision to dare to be great at both sports at the same time so amazing in the first place.
Look, Shields might never accomplish the same amazing feat Holm did when she shocked Ronda Rousey in 2015 for the UFC women's bantamweight championship.
But she's aiming to eclipse that incredible mark anyway, and with Holm and many others offering Shields ideas about what she needs to think about as she climbs up the steepest hill she can find, she'll definitely have her best chance at doing it.

For Whom the Bell Tolled: 2020 Boxing Obituaries PART ONE


At first I was numb with horror. For over 24 hours, I believed my brother and niece to have been killed (since they worked close to the WTC). I'm sure you can imagine my relief when the word came at 11:00 Wednesday morning that they and their families, albeit being close to ground zero, were evacuated quickly and safely. I have been a psychological and psychic counselor for over 20 years and for the first time I found I couldn't counsel anyone! I am feeling much better and more clear now and can once again perform my skill. I am concerned that, while there are plenty of counseling services available for Christians, Jews and Muslims, the Pagan populations have been largely overlooked. If there is anyone near me (the Greater New York City area) or would like to communicate via e-mail who feels that they need to talk with a counselor who understands at least in part what a Pagan might be feeling right now or what they should do, please contact me. My phone number is 203-847-4883. Just ask for Breice (Breessy). The one thing I am counseling ALL people about is the desire for revenge or attack. Remember the Rule of Three. If you send negative energy out to anyone, it will come back to you TIMES THREE! No matter how justified you may feel you are, and no matter how much you want to see the people responsible for these acts punished, it is NOT your job nor your right. The Universe will sort this out. Please allow the powers that be who understand more about what really happened (trust me, we have not been given the whole nor correct story) to dispatch justice. Your goal right now should be to work toward LOVE and understanding of your fellow man/woman. In whatever way I may be of service in this dream, please let me know. Bright Blessings, Hope and LOVE!
I've seen a lot of postings from a lot of Pagans who say that the US shouldn't respond to this act of war that was perpetrated against the citizens of the world. A lot of people are saying that we shouldn't go to war. Well, we ARE at war. Not with any one nation, but with a hidden army of people who use religion as a mask for their hatred. If people want to spread white light, healing, etc. that's all well and good. But the fact remains that the blood of the innocent victims is calling out for a response. No, I am NOT advocating bombing anyone indiscriminately! That's a knee-jerk response that will only create more victims. Besides, the ones responsible are hiding like the cowards that they are, so we need to find them first.
When England was attacked during WWII, the Witches of that country banded together to protect their land. We need to do the same for ours. If you want to spread white light, have it focus like a laser beam on those murderers, so that we can find them and bring them to justice.
Also, remember the Pagans who are serving their country in the military, law enforcement, rescue services, and the intelligence community. They will need our help and support like never before, because they are on the front lines of this effort. Please send them your strength and energy, so that they may do what needs to be done without further casualties.
"With malice towards none... with charity for all; with firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in; to bind up the nation's wounds; to care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow and his orphan-- to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves, and with all nations."
First of all, I want to express my sorrow for the events that have occurred. I do not know anyone directly affected by this horrible tragedy, but I feel their pain nonetheless. That said, in reading the posts, the opinion seems almost unanimous against taking military action in retribution for Tuesday's attack. I have read everyone's reasons as to why we should not go to war, and they are very good reasons. I agree with most of them, if not all. And while I respect the opinion of everyone in this forum, a question remains unanswered. If war is not the answer, what is? No one seems to have offered an alternative solution. We can pray, we can light candles, we can perform rituals (I have done all three, myself.), but at the end of the day, the people who perpetuated this terrible crime are still walking around freely. I'm sorry--perhaps I'm not as "mature" as others out there, but I'm angry, I'm scared, and I want them to pay for what they did. No, I do not feel anger towards innocent Muslims or Middle Eastern people, and I also agree that if we decide to bomb Afghanistan it is likely that by the time we do, our true target may no longer be there. But I want terrorism wiped out, and while I do not personally have the solution, I welcome anyone who does to please share it.
I am sick of the press broadcasting military troop movements, deployment schedules, the president and the vice president's location and routes. I am sick of watching the press broadcast the location of agents and teams in the middle of investigations live as if it were a reality television show. Like terrorists do not watch television? Everytime the press releases that kind of information under these kinds of circumstances, they place federal agents, military members and the executive Branch in imminent physical danger. If I were an active duty military member and I were to release that kind of information, I would loose my security clearance and then I would be discharged from active duty with other charges pending. I remember in Somalia, when the press lit up the beach and the U.S. Marines who were storming it, illuminating them for possible snipers. Everyone knows that these people place themselves in harms way, the press is insuring that harm will come to these military members and agents everytime they broadcase plans, locations and strategies. We have freedom of press with the understanding that it would be used responsibly, this is not the example of responsible press coverage.
A few years ago, a war was raging in my country. I know what it's like to be afraid, to watch and feel the pain, and still I don't think I can even imagine what America must be going through. Probably all of Croatian people was in front of TV's this week, watching CNN all day long, feeling as if we were attacked. And in a sense, we were, because every normal human being must feel this horrible act as an attack upon all humanity. I can't find the words to express my sadness, anger, and disbelief. I can only offer my deepest condolences to all of you who lost somebody.
I hope America can find the strenght not to start the war, despite the desire for revenge. I hope you can show the rest of the world what it means to be big, really big, as this little corner of the world percieves you. I hope and pray that you find the way for reaching justice without shedding more blood.
I look out my window to where the WTC used to stand proudly as guardians to the Statue of Liberty and ambassadors of New York CityÕs Harbor. Some would say beacons that would welcome home the wary traveler and the daily reminder were the train home was. They weÕre alive in every sense of the word, they breathed, moved, and pulsed with every life-energy that inhabited them. Those building weÕre forged by human hand as a monument of what we can make from the body of our Great Mother.
I look out my window and see them gone, a pocket of empty space that use to glitter like two scepters in the night, completing the jewelry of lights. No longer the beacons of home but of travesty. Gone with them the breath of life that inhabited them and the breath of awe of their sheer existence. Replaced is numbing emptiness and a gasp of breathe and sighs of devastation. What human hands made human hands took away.
Am I to be angry, terrorized, confused, sadden, devastated, numb, hurt, fearful? Pick one or all and you would be right. I am struck to the very core of my being. Normally with a dirty joke up my sleeve and snicker on my face, I find nothing to laugh about and my facial expression empty. These types of horrors have been around since the dawn of time and will continue on til I am not here to witness them. This time terror has struck home, and took the very symbol of home to me.
Today I stand looking at once was and try to mimic what they symbolized to me because those I care for and those who I meet by chance need me to be. I donÕt know the answers nor to I profess to, but I have a shoulder to cry on, ears to listen and a heart to feel.
Personally, I would be cheering to no end if a squad of InterPol agents broke into the rat hole that bin Laden has run down and nabbed him and his major advisors, then a group of CIA agents did the same to the Taliban's ruling elite and then all of the above were brought to trial for their crimes and punished through due process of the law, but it would hurt me to no end to see US bombers and troops pummelling the crap out of a village that has just one suspected terrorist in it. Yes, I want to see this monster and those who hide him brought to justice, but not the innocent, unknowing people of Afganistan killed for being in the wrong place at the wrong time. That would make this country even worse and more heartless than they.
Pray for peace. I propose a worldwide circle, and for every Wiccan and Pagan out there to do a small ritual to bring those responsible to justice, and those innocents to protection.
If the USA goes to "bomb Afghanistan back into the stone age, " as they have put it, we will be doing nothing but bringing more blood onto our hands as a nation, and inviting further, more violent, more devistating retributions. An eye for an eye only invites more tears.
What of those innocent Muslims, both in the Middle East and in America? How many more innocents will have to suffer before we wake up and start making real changes, and becoming really mature?
Our anger is there, and there is nothing wrong with that. It's natural and understandable. But let us not be so angry we want to destroy, but angry enough that we want to change things.
May I offer my deepest condolences to the American people for the tragedy they are currently suffering and assure them that the thoughts of all of us in the UK are with you at this terrible time. Although I did not know anyone involved in this tragedy personally, I work for a large insurance company and we are told that one of our American colleagues who worked in the WTC is still missing, so in some small way at least, this tragedy is affecting everyone in the west, everyone knows someone, who knows someone etc. I live in Liverpool, so I know well how tragedy (in our case the Hillsborough disaster) can affect an entire city and the endless questions that haunt you afterwards, the why and the how of it. If any of my American brothers and sisters just want someone to talk to, please feel free to e-mail me. I will dedicate my next working to the American people and the promotion of peace between the people of the world.
May all the Gods grant you peace & love.

The 1st place - and a status of the biggest monthly profit belongs to Scholz M. from Germany. It's hard to disagree, his results are truly amazing: $157 990 from $118 790. Though initial balance was one of the highest on Ayrex, total profit of $39 200 is still very impressive. How did he do it? Bitcoin and EUR/USD! Nice choice!
The 2nd place goes to the trader with the biggest profit earned on news - Khedar S. from India, who earned $7 440 in 2 (!) days (with the initial deposit of $1550). Khedar traded during the rise of EUR/USD on 26-27 October and multiplied his balance 18 times. That's what we call a quality trading!
The 3rd place along with the title of the most impressive new trader is taken by Saputra R. from Indonesia, who increased his balance from $800 up to $13 200 this month. Saputra started his trading path on Ayrex from losing $2000. Despite the unfortunate start, he managed to fix it and take his profit and even more. A true trader's spirit!
More than 200k traders on Ayrex, who keep working on the dream of turning into the best trader this month. We wish you luck and patience on your way top!

Q: Email trouble with ISA 2004 behind Cisco ASA Without going into the whys, I've got an ISA 2004 server behind a Cisco ASA.
Since the installation of the ASA, I can no longer send email to one particular domain.  I get a "500 Non RFC-compliant response received" bounce.
Using a telnet session from a server in the DMZ, I verified that I can get a mail session to go through to this domain when only the ASA is in the chain.  The ASA is supposedly not configured to filter email, but I do see that it's munging the initial response from the remote mail server (e.g. replacing the greeting with a bunch of asterisks, which from a cursory search seems to be a common Cisco thing).
When I directly replace the ASA with a different router of a different make, I have no trouble with email to the domain in question.
Thus, the problem is somehow the combination of whatever the Cisco is doing to the mail session, and whatever the ISA server is doing to the mail session.
Here's the catch: I have no control over the ASA, only the ISA Server.  What's the quickest way out of this mess so that I can get email flowing to this domain as soon as possible?

A: Any chance you can have the application filter on the Cisco turned off? There are various issues with Cisco's implementations of their application-level filters.
We had a situation where the Cisco filters would cause a SIP video session to consistently disconnect after a hour into the session. The situation was finally corrected by disabling the Cisco filters.

Court reprimands Orange County Sheriff's Department for 2010 barbershop raids
Posted By Erin Sullivan on Fri, Sep 26, 2014 at 1:37 PM
In 2011, Orlando Weekly profiled Strictly Skillz as part of the
In 2011, Orlando Weekly profiled Strictly Skillz as part of the Highway 50 Revisited package about living and working on Colonial Drive. Back in 2010, the Orange County Sheriff's Office embarked on a series of bizarre, over-the-top raids on barbershops in Orlando. With the assistance of the state Department of Business and Professional Regulation, the sheriff's department stormed nine different black and Hispanic-owned shops, claiming that they were looking for illegal goods – mostly drugs, guns and evidence of gambling, they said at the time. They handcuffed the barbers working at the shops, asked to see their licenses and searched their work stations, demanding to be told where the drugs and guns were stashed. After the raids were completed, it became clear that law enforcement didn't find much at most of the shops. With the exception of one of the shops, they turned up a little bit of marijuana here, some license violations there. But it was devastating to the business owners. When we talked to the owner of Strictly Skillz, one of the raided shops, he said the raids had made a significant dent in his business, even a year later. The owner of Strictly Skillz filed suit against the county over the sting, claiming that it was an unlawful search and a violation of his Fourth Amendment rights protecting against illegal search and seizure. On Sept. 16, a circuit court determined that two of the officers who executed the searches could not be considered immune from being sued because they were just doing their jobs. In the court's decision, it reveals that the Orange County Sheriff's Department teamed up with the Department of Business and Professional Regulation to aggressively inspect a number of shops that had been resistant to previous routine inspections – in other words, the sheriff's office was helping the department get back at the shops for being difficult with them. The court ruling indicates that the court agrees that the search of Strictly Skillz was unconstitutional, and it denied the request by the Sheriff's Department to dismiss the case or offer summary judgment in favor of the county. Read the court filing below. It's full of some very unflattering information about how the 2010 raids were conducted.

After posting a consistent rise in four years from 2012-13 to 2015-16, coal royalty collection in Odisha has witnessed a slide in this fiscal, with Coal India's biggest producing subsidiary Mahanadi Coalfields Ltd (MCL) struggling to meet its targeted coal production. Coal revenue collection in the state in Odisha was 1,384.52 crore by the end of February. Last fiscal, the royalty collection stood at 1,627.27 crore. Royalty collection from coal has progressively rose from 1,245.24 crore in 2012-13 to 1,378.58 crore in 2013-14 and to 1,439.17 crore in 2014-15.


GE Healthcare has introduced illustra triplePrep, a kit for simultaneous isolation of genomic DNA, RNA and total denatured protein from a single undivided sample in less than one hour. The product is a combination of two spin columns and six optimized buffers for use with mammalian cell culture or animal tissue. High quality and yield DNA, RNA and protein can be successfully isolated from a range of tissue types such as liver, kidney, spleen, brain, lung and intestine and the cell lines HeLa, NIH-3T3, CHO-K1 and HEK-293. Tissue amounts ranging from 1–20 mg and cells amounts ranging from 0.3–5 million cells can be used for each preparation. illustra triplePrep offers up to 70 percent time-saving compared with the traditional method of splitting the sample and carrying out three individual extractions, and allows more data to be generated from small amounts of material. Direct correlation of data derived from genomic DNA, RNA and protein can be drawn with confidence, as the data is obtained from the same undivided starting sample. The flexible workflow with multiple stop points in the protocol allows for isolation of any two or all three analytes. The isolated gDNA, total RNA and total denatured proteins are suitable for various genomic and proteomic applications such as: PCR, restriction enzyme digestion, sequencing, array CGH, RT-PCR, gene expression microarray, SDS-PAGE, Western blotting, 2-D DIGE and LCMS.


Ahh computers, they make so many things possible for us. Master Feathers and I would have killed to have Hapkido Online 20 years ago but the technology of the time just couldn't do it. We both had to drive a lot of miles to train with one another several times a year.
But computing has a dark side, sometimes things just don't work and it can be VERY FRUSTRATING! Please, please, please if you have any technical difficulty with Hapkido Online, just let me know and I will be happy to assist you over the phone, day or night. All I ask is that before you call me in the middle of the night, please try the tutorials below and see if they fix your problem.
We have used the Digital Dojang on a variety of computer types with little or no problems. However sometimes folks struggle with this so I thought I would make a detailed instruction to get things working.
This will take you to the ooVoo website to load ooVoo. This program is very similar to Skype but we find it works much better for the kind of training we do.
After you have loaded ooVoo you can then load the latest version of Java.
Chances are your computer is already loaded with Java, it's needed for a variety of applications to work properly. You always want to make sure you have the latest version of Java for functionality and security.
In the old days step one and two would be enough to get the digital dojang working however in 2013 Java added greater security measures which improves the security of your computer and is a good thing. However these measures require a few more steps to get the dojang working.
Now Reboot your computer and try the digital dojang again. You will likely get a security prompt asking you if you want to allow it to work, just click I accept and Run and the Digital Dojang will start working.


@sanbach , Ted, I do not think the whole distribution box has to be remove, maybe just a couple panels from under dash and maybe the glove box(link below) to access what they call blend door actuator. Visit your local Toyota parts department and ask very nicely for a picture of the blend door actuators/servo motor locations. They may print you one showing where everything goes. Also since some of these are electrically controlled I believe, there should be a trouble code to tell which one is bad because there may be a few, some of the auto parts suppliers offer free code reading like Pepboys, Nappa, Advanced auto parts,etc and some of the guys are very knowledgeable and may have seen the issue often and put you on the right track and also may have a diagram. Good luck.
@sanbach , Ted, did not realize right hand drive :-), yes if center console will have to be removed probably to access, you must have a Toyota dealer they're and the guy in parts may be able to print off the procedure, take him a tea or coffee. Good luck.
@sanbach , Ted, When I turn 81 can only hope to be as mobile as you sound, laying upside down under a dash definitely a younger man's game. Have a good evening.

Spinal decompression is a treatment in which the spine is gently stretched, in a relaxed, controlled manner to create negative pressure inside the disc. This pressure change allows the free flow of fluid and nutrients into the disc, which promotes healing.
Each spinal decompression treatment lasts for about 20 minutes, and most patients need somewhere between 18 and 30 treatments, depending on the severity of the herniation. Patients who undergo spinal decompression therapy are also encouraged to incorporate core strengthening exercises into their daily routines.

The poll, taken Wednesday through Friday, also found that fewer Americans trust Facebook than other tech companies that gather user data, such as Apple Inc, Alphabet Inc's Google, Amazon.com Inc, Microsoft Corp and Yahoo.
Facebook, the world's largest social media firm, has been offering apologies as it tries to repair its reputation among users, advertisers, lawmakers and investors for mistakes that let 50 million users' data get into the hands of political consultancy Cambridge Analytica.
Facebook shares tumbled 14 percent last week, while the hashtag #DeleteFacebook gained traction online and the company's chief executive officer, Mark Zuckerberg, faced demands that he appear before U.S. lawmakers to testify in a hearing.
Zuckerberg and Facebook's chief operating officer, Sheryl Sandberg, said last week that shoring up trust was their priority. "We know this is an issue of trust. We know this is a critical moment for our company," Sandberg told CNBC on Thursday.
"It's psychologically harder to let go of a platform like Facebook that's become pretty well ingrained into people's lives," she said.
"It's like if I show an interest in healthy eating, all of a sudden all of the ads are about weight control and exercise and how to lose weight. I just get inundated," she said.
"I put it in my Amazon cart and forgot about it. Then, later, the ad popped up on ... Facebook, and I was like 'oh shoot.' It reminded me and I clicked on it and bought it."
A plurality of adults said they would like the government to take a bigger role in overseeing the industry's handling of user information. According to the poll, 46 percent of adults said they want more government regulation, while 17 percent said they want less. Another 20 percent said they wanted no change, and the remaining 18 percent said they did not know.


Good and evil -- Religious aspects -- Christianity.
Suffering -- Religious aspects -- Christianity.
This dissertation evaluates three evangelical models, namely, Open theism, Arminianism, and Calvinism in terms of how these models of divine sovereignty function to comfort suffering Christians. Central to this evaluation is discovering the various degrees of equivocation each model affords Christians in trusting God to bring good out of evil. Chapter 1 explores the nature of the religious problem of evil and distinguishes it from the logical and evidential problems of evil. Three evangelical models are introduced with attention given to their different conceptions of God's relationship to suffering. This chapter provides the background for evaluating each model. Chapter 2 provides additional background by establishing a biblical and theological context for thinking about divine agency and suffering. Two biblical texts (i.e., Romans 8:28 and the book of Job) are briefly introduced as the main passages for evaluating each model for exegetical accuracy. Special emphasis is given to each model's preferred theological term for understanding divine agency. Chapters 3-5 follow the same basic outline. The first part of each chapter is descriptive. Each model's conception of divine sovereignty is explained followed by its application to the religious problem of evil. The second part of each chapter evaluates the respective model based on three criteria, namely, internal consistency, exegetical accuracy, and existential adequacy. Strengths and weakness are pointed out in each model. It is argued that the Openness model is the weakest model for providing confidence in God's ability to bring good out of evil. It is argued that the Arminian model provides greater assurances than Open theism but not as much as Calvinism does. It is argued that the Calvinist model provides the highest level of confidence in God's ability to bring an eschatological resolution to suffering. Chapter 6 summarizes the material presented in chapters 1-5. On the basis of the conclusions reached through the evaluation of each model, it is suggested that the Calvinist model of divine sovereignty possesses a greater potential for handling the religious problem of evil than does the Openness and Arminian models.

Andy Warhol Hammer & Sickle is a range of artworks created by artist Andy Warhol.
The idea for the Hammer and Sickle paintings originated from a trip to Italy that Andy Warhol took for the opening of his Ladies and Gentlemen paintings (aka the Drag Queen series).
According to Andy Warhol's painting assistant, Ronnie Cutrone, the idea for the Hammer and Sickle came from the graffiti that Andy noticed during his trip to Italy. Cutrone searched communist bookstores in New York for an image they could use, but none of the symbols were appropriate – too "flat, stenciled". So Ronnie went down to Canal Street and bought an actual hammer and sickle and photographed them with side lighting to cast a shadow. Like Andy Warhol's Skull series, the Hammer and Sickle paintings had sponge-mopped backgrounds.
Halston's boyfriend, Victor Hugo, was given the original hammer and sickle, which he had Andy sign, and placed them crisscross under a Plexiglas box.
When Andy Warhol first burst onto the artistic stage in the 1960s', he did so by incorporating images that were firmly embedded in the American psyche. His bright and colorful paintings and serigraphs presented images that were commonplace — a soup can or coke bottle — but were transformed by his technique into artistic icons of popular culture. Warhol was most interested in image and not reality, although one could say that by casting these mass produced commercial images in his own unique style, Warhol was making a comment on the reality of living in a world that was dominated by images from the advertising and entertainment industries. Warhol's prints are in essence images of images. They are at least once removed, and often several times removed, from reality. His famous prints of Marilyn Monroe and Jackie Kennedy, not to mention countless other celebrities, are based on photographs. As in the case with Marilyn Monroe, many of those photographs are of his subjects posing as a character, not as themselves, a subtle reminder that once someone achieves a certain celebrity status, they become further and further removed from their real selves. How many layers must one remove to finally see the real person depicted in a Warhol print?

I was told by Jared of the Horror Syndicate to check this one out as well, but he called it by another name, Doctor Butcher MD. Which, I hate to say is a complete spoiler to the movie, but what are you going to do, because, guess what…it is also known as, Zombie 3, yep one of about 5 movies known as Zombie 3.
An anthropologist (Donald O'Brien) and her scientist friend (Ian McCulloch) visit an island of cannibals and find a mad doctor (Alexandra Delli Colli) creating zombies.
I mean, this kick I have been going on with Italian horror has been a strange one. Zombie Holocaust ended up being a lot better than I expected. It was nice seeing Ian McCulloch from Lucio Fulci's Zombie and he was badass! This movie even has a decent enough story with a bit of a twist, if you don't go in knowing the alternate title, Doctor Butcher MD. It is a mix of zombie film and cannibal film and super weird. But that is what makes it great.
The effects were pretty great, some of the make-up effects were rough, but not terrible, not as bad as some of the masks in Burial Ground. But the gore is there! Honestly, the gore is there, the music is wonderful and damn it if the characters are not amazing. One of favorites, takes me back to the show friends. Let me exlplain, Chandler Bing, his father comes out as gay on Thankgiving and the pool boy, who his father is sleeping with offers more turkey and says, "More turkey mr. chandler" with an accent. Molotto, the guide always calls Ian McCulloch's character, Mr. Chandler…I Died when I heard it the first time.
I think Zombie Holocaust is right up there with most Italian horror, well the gore, nasty style, Argento and Bava are in a different place. But, I could watch this with any of the Fulci zombie movies or really any of the cannibal movies. Zombie Holocaust really kind has both worlds and can work as a bridge to both sub genres.
I think anyone who hasn't seen Zombie Holocaust is missing out and guess what, it is on Shudder! So, get finished reading this, watch the trailer, get on Shudder or go sign up and watch this movie! You can also check out The Beyond, Zombie, Cannibal Ferox while you're at it and make it an I-Talian horror night!
I give Zombie Holocaust a rating of 6.7, I dig it!

What does a BBA in Real Estate and Urban Infrastructure entail?
Completed Civil Engineering? Here's What's Next!
"Affordable housing will remain at the center stage.
The Indian real estate industry entered the year 2017 under the shadow of demonetization. This process had temporarily crippled the sector, especially the unorganized part in tier-2 and tier-3 cities by removing the liquid capital on which the businesses relied heavily upon. Also, the industry was getting ready to exist under the regulated framework of RERA rules and therefore the mood of the industry which was already facing a slowdown for the past few quarters was not very upbeat in January 2017. There was however a hope that all these policy level changes will benefit the sector in the long run.
As RERA bill passed in March 2016 and then Benami Transactions (Prohibition) Amendment Act 2016 came into effect from November 2016, it started becoming evident to the real estate industry that government is serious on cracking down on the fraudulent practices which had strangled the sector for the past many decades. Due to such practices, there was a general lack of investor confidence and trust deficit among the buyers towards the real estate sector in India. These efforts to make the real estate sector more organized, accountable and transparent were therefore welcomed by the organized industry players.
First ray of hope that came to the real estate sector in 2017 was the imparting of infrastructure status to affordable housing. Infrastructure status has ensured easier access to institutional credit which will help in reducing developers' cost of borrowing for affordable projects. Further push was given to affordable housing throughout the year like the definition of affordable housing was changed under the Housing for All scheme on the basis of carpet area from built-up area. Time period for project completion was increased from three years to five years and credit-linked subsidy scheme for middle income groups was launched to cover a larger customer base. Further different PPP models were introduced by the government to rope in private developers in the construction of affordable housing in India. As per a report by Cushman & Wakefield, all these incentives resulted in an increase of 27% (Y-O-Y) in the number of affordable housing units launched till October 2017.
Another important development that impacted the real estate in 2017 was the implementation of GST that came into effect from 1st July 2017. GST would be applicable on under construction properties and would be taxed at 18%. The government has allowed deduction of land value equivalent to one-third of the total amount charged by a developer, thus, making the effective tax rate as 12%.
Due to this, there was an increased demand for ready to move-in inventory as opposed to partially completed projects.
However, real estate sector was not completely brought under GST as stamp duty was not subsumed within GST and is still payable separately, making real estate more expensive.
Input credit is available to the developer under the GST regime which can bring prices down, although, rate of 18% is very high and this needs to come down to a lower level of 6% - 8%.
GST is also applicable on long land leases. In the erstwhile regime only stamp duty was payable for long leases. This therefore makes land in jurisdictions like Noida and Delhi (as most land is on lease) expensive by 18%, over the existing prices.
Increase in Joint Developments – RERA resulted in consolidation between developers by ways of joint developments with landowners and/or small developers with bigger developers. Also, some smaller developers are cashing in on their land banks by selling them to bigger players.
cquire more projects, as financing of projects is much easier for such large corporate brands.
Developers are revamping their business models – Developers have to think about different ways to arrange fund for their projects. They are bound to enforce transparency in their business model and have accountability for their actions.
Greater emphasis on Project Management, including new technology in the development process to reduce the construction time.
On investment front, Private Equity (PE) investment in Indian real estate saw a considerable increase. Private equity investment in India's real estate sector was estimated to rise by 30 percent to $4 billion in an earlier report published this year by Knight Frank. The big boosts given to the sector in the form of the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act (RERA) 2016 and the Benami Transactions (Prohibition) Act are being credited for improving the investor confidence and bringing private equity investors to invest in Indian real estate sector.
2017 was not a good year for residential real estate sector. This sector was already under pressure from the inventory overhang and lack of trust among the customers. Further, the troika of demonetization, RERA, and GST did not help in the recovery of the market. A recent research report published by ANAROCK shows that this year the focus of developers was to sell the existing inventory and the result of this is a decline of 8% in the un-sold inventory in top 7 cities in India. Also, the number of new apartments added this year was half of the number added last year. All these moves also kept a check on the residential apartment prices as they either did not show any appreciation or decreased slightly in some cases.
As per the reports from various international property consultants, the office space real estate market remained robust in 2017. The demand for Grade 'A' office space was been driven by technology companies followed by engineering, manufacturing, banking and finance, and co-working operators. Vacancy levels in some cities such as Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad and Pune is around 5-10%, while pan India vacancy is at around 14-15%. The gap between demand and supply of good quality office space is keeping office rentals strong. A report from Colliers India suggests that about 90 million sq ft (0.8 million sq m) of commercial space is under various stage of construction, and is likely to be completed in next three years.
Space taken up by Co-working companies saw a tremendous growth in 2017 (50%, as per JLL estimates). This trend is likely to continue in 2018. It is one of the biggest disruptions in commercial real estate sector. It is estimated by JLL that an investment of USD 400 million can be expected in Co – Working spaces by various players in 2018.
Retail properties saw significantly less rental value appreciation, especially in the National Capital Region, Mumbai and Bengaluru fared better. Although investments into retail real estate has been showing growth in Tier II and III cities. As per a JLL report, between 2015 and Q3 2017, 54 per cent of investments in retail real estate happened in Tier II and III cities, exceeding those in the metros. Investment largely took place in cities such as Pune, Bengaluru, Amritsar, Indore, Ahmedabad and Chandigarh. Retail real estate is facing tough competition, from e – commerce industry, but growth of online shopping has resulted in increased demand for warehousing space. But in contrast to this online vs offline competition, e commerce giant Amazon has been opening in brick and mortar stores since 2015. In 2017 Amazon made its first such investment in India, It invested USD 28 million in Shoppers Stop, thus gaining access to 80 physical stores.
Affordable housing will remain at the center stage. More units in this segment will be launched, more developers will be seen entering this segment.
As the residential real estate market was affected by lot of policy changes taking place too quickly, 2018 can be the year in which the Industry gets accustomed to these policy changes and start showing revival as the trust deficit between the customer and developer is going down since RERA implementation.
Demand for Co-working spaces is also expected to go up in 2018.
India could witness its first REIT being launched in the later part of 2018. REIT's were further delayed this year due to the implementation of GST.
Logistics and warehousing is another segment that has come up as a new asset class with tremendous growth potential. The reason behind this is GST, till now companies used to build at least one warehouse in different states because of varying tax being imposed in each state. This increases the storage cost and affects the warehousing structure in India. With GST in place, there would be uniformity in imposed taxes and companies would not require to pay for taxes in different regions. This would result in new and advanced warehouses to come up at locations with cheaper land and better connectivity.
2018 will see a rise in the demand of professionals trained in the fields of real estate and construction management. People with specific skill set will be required to take on these disruptions having constantly in the Real estate industry.

Indian-origin Jagmeet Singh, the first non-white leader in Canada's Parliament
News Global
Canada's first non-white political party leader seems to be going from strength to strength. Indian-origin Jagmeet Singh has created history in Canada when he made his debut in the House of Commons.
Sworn in & officially in this. Now we double down on fighting for the help that Canadians need – from ensuring everyone has a place to call home to making sure healthcare covers us the way it should – I'm determined & ready to make life easier for people. Let's get it. #cdnpoli pic.twitter.com/nNjrBKt7nl

Singh is now the first non-white party leader in the Commons in Canadian history.
Singh, as an elected lawmaker, talked about last week's terrorist attack on two mosques in New Zealand.
Excited & ready to be officially sworn in as an MP today and have my first day in the House on Monday!

He placed his hand over his heart as he walked into the House of Commons, the lower of house of Parliament, before the daily question period.
"I want to begin by expressing our solidarity with the people of New Zealand who are mourning the attack on Muslim brothers and sisters... in Christchurch," he said.
"I met a mom in Burnaby. She bought a home, but cannot afford to live there anymore. Her daughter has a good job, but only gets by because she lives in the basement. Her son does not see a future. Like too many Canadians, he has lost all hope," Singh added.
Too many Canadians are working hard but struggling to get ahead – all while the Trudeau Liberal government tells them to wait for solutions. It doesn't have to be this way.

Saint Bernard occupies a large space in downtown Austin, and while the name is a bit misleading, don't be fooled! It's chock full of clothing, shoes, and gifts for men, women and children. It has the largest clothing and shoe selection in downtown Austin, and it's a great place to shop for the whole family. Upon entry to the store, you'll notice a large shoe selection including sandals, athletic shoes, and a great selection of Ugg and Hunter boots.

Looking for a cooler for camping or the boat? Is your koozi not cutting it anymore? Yeti's got you covered!
As you wander past the shoes toward the back of the store, you'll find a large selection of womens clothing, both fashion and athletic. Womens apparel features designers like BB Dakota, Bella Dahl, Beyond Yoga, Chaser, Dolce Vita, and premium denim brands like Citizens of Humanity. Womens activewear includes popular brands Patagonia and North Face - potentially the best selection in town. When it comes to bikini season, Saint Bernard has a massive selection of all kinds of swimwear. Speaking of vacation-wear, when it comes to ski and snowboard gear, Saint Bernard has a great selection of pants, jackets, boots, bindings, and other equipment (for men, women, and children).
When it comes to menswear, Saint Bernard doesn't miss the mark! There's a massive selection of mens activewear and skiwear, as well as great casual and business casual clothing. There's a diverse selection of collared shirts, tshirts, casual pants, khakis, and more. While the styles lean toward the preppy side, there's a healthy selection of plain clothes for those who aren't headed to Nantucket anytime soon. Just as with womens wear, Saint Bernard has an amazing selection of Patagonia, North Face, and other similar brands making sweaters, fleece, and base layers.
But wait- you'd think that was it, right? Nope! Besides clothing, and shoes, and equipment (oh my!), Saint Bernard also has a healthy selection of jewelry and gifts! So not only can you stock up on clothes and shoes for your whole family, but you can also scoop up necklaces and bracelets, a coffee table book, decorative dishes, sunglasses, candles, and even bags!
With the holidays just around the corner, Saint Bernard is basically the perfect downtown one-stop shop for gifts. And even if you're done shopping for others, it's a great place to pick up a few things for winter for yourself. And if you're lucky, the owner's actual Saint Bernard dog will be in-store!

File folders organized in an expandable file rack can be an effective organizing tool.
With all the technological advancements of the past two decades — emails, texts, online bank statements, electronic billing, etc. — it seems logical that we would be dealing with fewer papers coming into our homes. But most of us are still dealing with a ton of paperwork, and we're finding it universally difficult to manage.
The constant influx can be overwhelming. It takes time to sort through papers, to decide whether to keep something and to properly put documents away so we can easily find them later. The key to paper management is to keep it simple and be consistent. Don't let yourself get buried before you develop a system. Now, still the beginning of the year, is the perfect time to get started.
I am a firm believer that every household needs at least two file drawers, which should be plenty for most people's current paperwork. If you don't have a specific space allocated for paperwork, you're starting at a disadvantage.
You'll need a supply of hanging file folders, as well as interior file folders. If having your favorite color or fancy folder designs will inspire you to file papers, go for it. But basic folders are adequate.
You should also have a couple of portable filing boxes — either cardboard or plastic — to keep long-term files you don't need to access regularly. Your filing drawers or filing cabinet should have this year's files and paperwork. Keep extra file folders in the drawers along with a Sharpie for easy labeling. And invest in a small shredder. Even though our identities are more likely to be stolen online than from documents placed in the trash, it's still better to shred financial documents and anything that contains important personal information.
Start by going through your files to discard paperwork you no longer need from last year and set up new files for 2019. Keep the categories as general as possible. When you get too specific, it can have the counter-effect of making things more difficult to find. Categories might include, "Mastercard," "bank statements," "medical bills for Scott," "receipts for charitable contributions" and "appliance manuals." There is no right way to arrange your files, just do what makes sense. Some people alphabetize their files, others group them by category and prefer to keep household categories separate from financial and personal files.
After the bills have been paid, shift those papers to the filing bin. Then, once every couple of weeks, pop the papers into their corresponding files. If you're not sure whether you need to keep something, don't spend too much time contemplating it — err on the side of caution and keep it for one year.
Keep all of your tax returns and the supporting documents for seven years. Every year but the current year can be kept in a labeled plastic filing box on a shelf in your basement or in a guest-room closet.
Copies of things like your will, health care power of attorney and living will, financial power of attorney, as well as information on how to access all of your accounts should be kept in a portable plastic fling box that is clearly labeled so people can easily find it in the event of a tragedy. If you don't have some of these documents or haven't updated them in the past decade, prioritize getting them done and update existing documents where necessary.
Often people want to keep hard copies of bank and credit-card statements for a year, even though they can access those records online. It is totally fine to keep paper copies in chronological order. Just shred the prior year and start fresh for 2019. I recommend people keep monthly investment statements until the end of the year and keep their year-end statements for five years.
Things like utility bills don't need to be kept once the payments have cleared your bank. Receipts for charitable contributions should be printed when the donation is made or when you receive a receipt for a contribution and filed with the current year's tax documents.
And don't forget all the papers that come home from school. School papers that are representative of your child's work can be kept in a file labeled with the child's name and grade. At the end of the year, cull the file and keep the best of the best.
While it's challenging to manage the paper flow that comes into your home, establishing specific places for things and sorting through paper each week will prevent you from having a much larger paper-sorting job over time.


First a little update since I have been blog MIA this week.
I am not going to lie, this was a tough week. The kind where you call your husband sobbing and you've probably worried the poor thing half to death. But the past few months have been though. And they will only get tougher, until I find a job and am comfortable with settling down in South LA. We found an apartment, with all tile PTL! It cost more than I'd like to pay, but apparently everything is more expensive down there. The new place even has a little-almost-fenced-in backyard, all we need to do is figure some way to block the entrance and we can just kick the pups out when they need to go potty! Whoo hoo for easy, these girls are accustomed to a doggie door. I have an interview Monday-which is 5 1/2 hours away from where I am now. Major kinks were thrown my way to try and prevent me from going (as you may have seen on Twitter-which included being told that there was no point in me going because I wouldn't get the job anyway, and yes I emailed a higher up about that.) but I am going anyway....just going to cut it real close on time. Yuck. And have to drive back the same day because I can't get off work. That is 11 hours of driving! Yikes! So y'all say a little prayer for me Monday, for the driving and for the interview. I need this job just like Jeremy is going to need to eat this summer when I get there. Poor boy can't be in graduate school and starving because he wife can't find a job.
1. Several weeks ago I found some Tea Tree Oil Cleansing Bar at Sallys. It has been a absolute miracle soap. My skin tends to not heal fast, if I get a cut it hangs around for ages. Now this one one is TMI, but sometimes my back breaks out from my conditioner. Tree Tea Oil is supposed to help skin heal faster, and this soap has shown that to be very true. It has done amazing things for my skin, and I actually need to go buy more today. Here is a link to it. I get the GVP brand from Sally's, it is supposed to be compared to the Paul Mitchell Tree Tea Cleansing Bar.
2. I absolute love Canine Carry Outs. Needless to say the girls love them too. They are a soft dog treat...that will convince my two to actively participate in tricks or bribe them out from under a bed. The thing I like most about them is that they are soft. I can break them into several pieces and get the dogs to do several tricks using just one. This is great for two little piglet dachshunds who don't need treats anyway. These aren't the healthiest or fanciest of dog treats, but for someone on a budget who doesn't want to just hand their dog a huge snack it works.
4. I'll go ahead and throw this in, DVR. Yes, I argued that it was a waste of money when we got it, but now I am addicted to it. I like that I no longer have to pay attention to what time a show comes on, I have DVRed my life away.
5. I eat greek yogurt like it is going off the market soon. I especially love Fage with honey. But considering the price recently jumped up...I am now consuming Dannon. All this inflation is killing my cheap self!
6. iPad 2. Hands down best birthday present ever.
7. Okay I am using #7 in search of help! I need something to wear to my interview and have no idea what to wear. I though about one outfit, but I don't want to drive 5 1/2 hrs in it. I looked at these skinny trousers in grey or black, I don't have any black trousers. I also have this top from Target, but don't know if it is appropriate, however I think it looks dressy on. I would hate to drive in a button down and wrinkle it up, or risks someone seeing me change into it in the parking lot. So I need your help big time ladies, give me interview outfit suggestions!
