"There's a lot of things that I like and enjoy about it, and there's a lot of things that I hate about it," Duncan said. "I hate the way the game's being officiated at times, how they've underpowered the effect of a post player so that you're allowed to beat the crap out of a post player. You're allowed to take him off his spot. You're allowed to hit him, bump him while they're shooting. But if you turn and face and go out to the 3-point line, and you shoot the ball and fall down, all of a sudden, the whistle is blown. "So they're protecting the shooters away from the basket. It overpowers some of the players that are away from the basket, and it underpowers post players who use their bodies and their physicality around the basket."

The Lakers had been annoyed with what they felt were extra steps being afforded to Heat rookie sharpshooter Duncan Robinson when he received the ball coming off curl screens, league sources told Yahoo Sports. And with Robinson occasionally talking trash, that only increased the Lakers' annoyance after he torched them for 26 points while draining seven triples in Game 5.
Kentavious Caldwell-Pope came into Game 6 focused on not losing sight of Robinson, a rookie who is already one of the best players in the league at moving without the ball. Of course, the game got chippy. "You ain't nothing," Caldwell-Pope shouted at Robinson with 2:50 left in the half while Miami's Bam Adebayo was at the free-throw line. Referee James Capers warned Caldwell-Pope to cool it down and he replied, "He's the one talking sh–. He ain't getting nothing tonight."

The NBA upheld the two calls Los Angeles Lakers coach Frank Vogel took exception with in L.A.'s 111-108 Game 5 loss to the Miami Heat in the NBA Finals on Friday, but the league did find two other calls that should have gone the Lakers' way. In its last two-minute report released Saturday, the NBA announced that Jimmy Butler should have been called for a shooting foul on LeBron James with 1:01 remaining in the fourth quarter for extending his arm and making contact with the side of James' head on a drive to the hoop when L.A. was trailing 105-104. The missed call ended up being inconsequential as James corralled his own miss and laid the ball in to put L.A. up 106-105 with 58.2 seconds left.
It also determined that with 28 seconds remaining, Miami's Andre Iguodala should have been called for a defensive three-seconds violation for not clearing the lane when not actively guarding an opponent. Again, the no-call did not affect the Lakers as that possession ended with a layup for Anthony Davis to put L.A. up 108-107 with 21.8 seconds left.

Nuggets not happy with officiating in Game 4
The Lakers made 28 of their 35 free throws, including an 11-for-14 mark by James and a 13-for-14 line by Davis. "I'm going to have to go through the proper channels like they did to see if we can figure out how we can get some more free throws," said Nuggets coach Michael Malone, whose team shot 23 free throws. The Lakers outrebounded the Nuggets 41-33, including 12-6 on the offensive boards. They outscored the Nuggets 25-6 on second-chance points. "That's really hard to overcome," Malone said.

Asked if the Lakers' tactic of going to the league about foul calls worked, Malone said he didn't know. "I just know they went 35 [times] and we went 23," Malone said. "I think late in the game Jamal Murray attacked the basket a few times where it appeared to be contact. We'll watch the film and send our clips in. We'll reach out to the NBA and kind of make our points noted. Whether them going through the proper channels affected tonight or not, I have no idea. The NBA does a great job of listening. You hope that next game maybe some of those fouls are called."
"Respectfully, obviously, they're trying to do their job," Murray said when asked what kind of feedback he got back from the officials. "I mean, I did get fouled on a few. We could see the replay clearly. The same thing when [Utah Jazz's] Rudy Gobert fouled me when we lost Game 4 [in the first round]. … My team shows respect any time you talk to them." "LeBron is going to go get his," Murray added. "But we just have to look ahead and play through it. … We're a young team. We're the younger team, youngest team, whatever we are. Look at where we're at. We're going to have to earn their respect if we're going to want to prevail."

The Lakers have presented a case to the NBA that their star, LeBron James, is not nearly getting his fair share of free throws even though they are positive the hard-charging forward is getting fouled plenty by the Denver Nuggets in their Western Conference finals playoff series. "We're dealing with the fouls through the proper channels with the league," coach Frank Vogel told the media via videoconference Wednesday after practice. "I think he's gone to the basket very aggressively, and I'll just leave it at that."

Tania Ganguli: Vogel is asked about the low number of free throws LeBron James has shot in this series against the Nuggets. Vogel says they are going through the proper channels with the league on that and will leave it at that. He does feel that LeBron has been going to the basket still.

So, I asked, how did Lakers coach Frank Vogel see it after he had watched the film? "We were definitely the aggressors in the game, and the box score I have right here has us with 28 (fouls)," Vogel said. "We got called for 28 fouls. They got called for 26." It was a savvy stance to take, albeit oversimplified. So as Vogel left his media session to rejoin his team, I admitted to him that I hadn't noticed that the final fouls tally was in the Nuggets' favor. "I do my research," he said with a grin.
Kyle Goon: Frank Vogel points out that although the Lakers had a free throw advantage last night, the foul advantage was just two. He adds: "We were definitely the aggressors in the game."

After getting dunked on and dissed during a 126-114 loss in Game 1 Friday in the Western Conference finals, it's obvious that the league regards the Nuggets as little more than props in this Lake Show, starring James and Anthony Davis, who hammered Denver with 37 points. It was so ugly and frustrating the entire fourth quarter stunk like garbage time. "I'm not going to sit here and blame it on the refs. That's not what I'm doing," Nuggets guard Jamal Murray said. "We've got to play through it and earn their respect."

A day before Game 7, Nuggets coach Michael Malone cited ESPN's experts, and mentioned how 19 of them predicted the Clippers would win. Not one said the series would advance to a Game 7.

Next is Lakers another tough opponent for us. We just have to be out there and having fun."

On the court, the issue made the Denver Nuggets feel frustrated. Off the court, the issue prompted Nuggets guard Jamal Murray to offer sarcastic laughter and coach Mike Malone to offer sarcastic analysis. After suffering a 126-114 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers on Friday in Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals, how do the Nuggets adapt better to whistles? "Just try to play through it. It's tough," said Murray, who nearly had has many fouls (four) as assists (five) to go along with 21 points. "They're going to talk about every call and have conversations and try to manipulate what happens. But you can't worry about it. It's going to be we're the younger team. We're going to play through it and find a way. We're not going to go away so easily."
"They're not trying to make the wrong call. They are just doing their job," Murray said. "We're going to miss shots and they're going to miss calls. I'm going to make a bad pass, and they might make a bad call. It's going to happen. There's no reaction. You play through it. We'll be all right. I'm not going to sit here and just blame it on the refs. That's not what I'm doing. You just have to play through it and earn your respect."
"I'm looking forward to watching the film to see where all these fouls were called," Malone said. "Obviously in the second half, it evened out. But it was an extreme advantage for the Lakers in that first half. Watch the film and see the fouls that are being called, why they're being called, should they have been called. Then try to learn from it and get better for it for Game No. 2."

It was the third time during this postseason that a Rockets player was hit below the belt. Sources told ESPN that the Rockets were upset that Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Chris Paul's jab to Ben McLemore's groin area in overtime of Game 3 of their first round series — a play extremely similar to Davis' drive — was not reviewed by the league office. Rockets coach Mike D'Antoni received a technical foul for angrily arguing that the referees should have reviewed the play to determine if it was a flagrant foul, and sources said the Rockets believed a suspension should have been considered for Paul due to his history of similar incidents.

But what happens when a player storms to the sideline certain he didn't commit a foul? "I try to gauge who it is, meaning how often has he lied to me in the past and how adamant is he about it," Rivers says. "I mean, I laugh now. I literally laugh. Every game, I see 15 a game, where the players are doing [the finger] and so unless I'm clear visually, I usually just ignore it. I did have one where Kawhi [Leonard], who rarely says something, runs to me and says, 'I swear I didn't touch him.' And we challenged it and we won. After the game, I always say, 'All right. Credible, he's credible, not, not, not, not.' I mean that's basically what we do. We make fun of it now."
Often, coaches say, they will rely on instinct. "Sometimes you have to go with your gut, trust your own eyes and what you see out there," Malone says. And despite their battles with referees, the difficulty of the decision to challenge a call gives some coaches a deeper appreciation for the job. "We sometimes have enough time to look at the video, and my coach is sitting there like, 'I'm not sure,'" Rivers says. "And think about it, that ref had to make that call in real time. It does make you appreciate the officiating … at least for that moment."

In Game 3, Paul nails Ben McLemore below the belt and sources say the Rockets were incensed that the league wouldn't take a closer look at the play seen below. Everyone is aggrieved at this point. What's more, there's a strong sense that Paul's stature within the league — a position that was on full display this week as he led the way in the players' return to work after the Wednesday walkout — plays a part here. Make up your own mind, but that's definitely a point of concern in Rockets circles. Especially considering the reality that the NBA is likely on the cusp of some difficult negotiations with the Paul-led National Basketball Players Association this offseason because of these unprecedented circumstances. And yes, if you somehow haven't heard, Paul has a bit of a history with these sorts of plays.
As for Tucker's headbutt and the ensuing decision, that was an obvious and necessary call. Sources say the league is investigating that situation, and there could be further discipline coming Tucker's way. The NBA's longtime disciplinarian, executive vice president of basketball operations Kiki VanDeWeghe, was sitting front row when this all happened and was glued to his phone after the game was over (Byron Spruell, the president of league operations who oversees this department, is also here).

As Schroder ran through a Tucker screen, he swung his arm between Tucker's legs, catching him below the belt. Tucker, who was whistled for an illegal screen, walked up behind Schroder, yelling at him and eventually head-butting the back of his head. "First thing was, it was obviously an illegal screen. And it was kind of a bang-bang play," Thunder coach Billy Donovan said. "P.J. obviously after the play was over kind of head-butted Dennis, so they certainly had to eject him, and I didn't know if they felt like they needed to eject Dennis because they ejected P.J. But it was a very quick, aggressive play, and I understand with P.J. getting thrown out maybe they felt like Dennis needed to be thrown out. "But again, it was an illegal screen. I'm not even going to speculate or even know to read Dennis' mind. It was such a bang-bang play, Dennis was just trying to find a way through the screen and got hung up."
Sources told ESPN that the Rockets are upset that the league office did not investigate Paul's Game 3 shot to McLemore's groin and consider disciplinary action. The Rockets want a similar prior incident by Schroder to be considered by the league office in the wake of his shot to Tucker's groin, sources told ESPN.

Trail Blazers frustrated by free throw discrepancy
Lillard, who said he tried to ignore the pain of his dislocated left index finger, also reiterated that a free throw discrepancy against a great team is going to make it even more difficult to come away with a win. "When a team is living at the free throw line like they did tonight as a team, it's going to be hard to win a game against a team that's as good as they are. "
Yet, it's hard to believe that there was that much of a difference in the physicality and aggressive nature in the Lakers over the Blazers Saturday night. The total free throw discrepancy for the game finished at 43 to 18. After the Blazers 116-108 loss, Damian Lillard explained that both teams were physical in Game 3 as he tried to make sense of the difference at the charity stripe. "The discrepancy in free throws is something that is out of our control… Last game we came out — they played a really physical game, a really aggressive game that led to blowout victory for them. But tonight, we came in saying, we wasn't going to get bullied any and let them out physical and out aggressive us and maybe sometimes we did foul, but they're a physical team as well." –Trail Blazers All-Star Damian Lillard

That lack of ambient sound in the three arenas being used at ESPN's Wide World of Sports Complex has made for a different dynamic between referees and the players and coaches throughout a game. "In my career, 10 years, I never would have heard an assistant from 70 feet away say, 'Make the f—ing call!'" referee Josh Tiven said. "But you might hear that here."
While there may be the occasional moment when a referee will hear something that helps confirm whether a play was a foul or not, officials are mostly relying on the typical things. "I'm so locked in that [it doesn't impact me]," Capers said. "We have a principle to referee the defender. So when that reach happens, I know if it's hand and ball, and I know that it's wrist, and I know if he gets him. "Because, people don't talk about it, but basketball is a contact sport. We're trying to figure out if it is marginal and incidental, versus illegal. So as long as I am locked in, and as long as I am doing my job and focused, I see it the same way."

Sticking with basketball, do you continue to consider you bought robbed by the referees within the 2006 finals? Mark Cuban: 100 p.c. Due to ineptitude or one thing else? Mark Cuban: Ineptitude plus one thing else. I've had refs inform me that I wasn't their favourite individual. In order that they have been screwing you deliberately? Mark Cuban: With out query.
Did you speak to the league about that? Mark Cuban: I did. They investigated it and mentioned they couldn't show it. That yr was the final yr, as a result of I raised such hell, when many of the refereeing assignments within the finals have been based mostly on seniority. Now there's an try and make it based mostly on job efficiency. As soon as I went via the record, proper round that 2006 timeframe, of all of the just lately employed referees. I used to be curious the place we have been hiring these folks from. These weren't refs that have been within the pressure-cooker video games, Indiana-Purdue, Duke-North Carolina video games. They have been from these small conferences. I'm like, Why are we hiring refs from these small conferences? Seems that the man who was answerable for officiating for these small conferences was the previous coach of the individual chargeable for hiring the referees. There was this connection between the 2 of them, and so he wasn't hiring one of the best. We employed any individual from the Rucker League! I don't even wish to go into all the small print. It was a joke.

Andre Drummond addresses trade rumors
Instead of sulking with his successor standing on the sidelines in street clothes, Drummond gave everyone — Cleveland's front office, Bickerstaff, the rest of the NBA — something to think about, even if he didn't enter the night specifically looking to prove a point. "I play the same way each and every night," Drummond said. "The trade, it is what it is. There's nothing I can do about that. If I do get traded, I don't control that either. I'm just here to play basketball with whatever jersey I have on. That's all I can focus on right now."

Bickerstaff also hears the trade chatter. He's talked with Drummond about it. "The optics are obvious," Bickerstaff admitted. "But Dre and I have developed a great relationship up to this point. It's a relationship that's built on trust and honesty." Drummond was asked about his reaction to the deal. He used the term "happy," calling Allen and Prince "very, very good players." And he backed up those words.

"The reason I'm having so much fun is I'm in a new environment, I'm in a new city and I love the guys that are here," Drummond said. "It's hard not to play hard here, having 12 guys that want to give it their all each and every night. It makes it fun to be out there." Before the front office takes the next (logical) step toward unclogging the frontcourt by moving either Drummond or cheaper veteran JaVale McGee, who is also on an expiring contract and will garner interest, it's worth considering how that would affect the team's chances of staying competitive.

Luka Doncic upset after Mavs fail to call timeout in loss vs. Bucks
Dallas Mavericks superstar Luka Doncic animatedly expressed his dismay that coach Rick Carlisle didn't use the team's final timeout during a critical possession in the final minute of a 112-109 road loss to the Milwaukee Bucks on Friday night. The possession, which occurred with the Mavs trailing by two points, ended with Kristaps Porzingis badly missing a contested 3-pointer with 10.4 seconds remaining. After the Mavs took a foul seconds later, Doncic angrily gestured toward the Dallas bench, repeatedly forming a T with his hands to indicate that a timeout should have been called.

Okay so today is a mascara review and it's the Rimmel Scandal Eyes mascara.
Okay so first things first.
What I like about this.
I love the packaging although it does remind me of the Covergirl lash Blast Mascara? I have never had an orange mascara bottle so its nice to see some colour amongest my other mascara bottles! But seriously its cool and I like the overall shape and the how they have printed the font. Packaging is always the first thing a buyer sees so its pretty important for it to be eye-catching.
The mascara gives amazing length and volume for sure and for me it curls my lashes as well. It almost gives a very fake lash effect and I compared this one to my Bourjois extreme clubbing mascara.
The wand is quite big and dense with the bristles so it packs on alot of product. I've used many mascaras with really big brushes and they all later became my favorite. But for some reason I just did'nt get along with this one. I have big eyes so using a big brush has never been a problem as my friend who has smaller eyes said she doesn't like big brushes as they don't work well for her but this brush messes up my mascara application where some of it starts to smudge around the inner corner and the lower lashline, even though I love the results it gives me. The reason for this is its formula.
Here are some pictures, clearly it gives a lot of volume and so sorry but for some reason the colours have gone stange.
Have you used this mascara? Any thoughts?
It looks lovely on you!

China's Incursion Against Taiwan Sees Tiny Nation Scrambling Fighter Jets
Could this uptick in aggression be a precursor to something far more worrisome?
There is no doubt whatsoever that China is a bully on the world's stage, and their latest actions against the sovereign nation of Taiwan appears to have the government there spooked.
China has long suggested that Taiwan belongs to them, to put it bluntly, and Beijing has repeatedly warned the international community against rebuking this dastardly claim. When word got out that American Marines were training the Taiwanese military, China even went so far as to lob threats in the general direction of the United States.
The Communist Regime, not to be deterred, has begun flying ever-bolder missions over Taiwanese airspace, this week prompting the local government to scramble fighter jets.
Taiwan's air force scrambled again on Sunday to warn away 27 Chinese aircraft that entered its air defense zone, Taiwan's Defense Ministry said, the latest increase in tensions across the Taiwan Strait as China's President met his top generals.
Chinese-claimed Taiwan has complained for a year or more of repeated missions by China's air force near the democratically governed island, often in the southwestern part of its air defense identification zone, or ADIZ, close to the Taiwan-controlled Pratas Islands.
But the missions may have an ulterior motive.
Taiwan calls China's repeated nearby military activities "gray zone" warfare, designed to both wear out Taiwan's forces by making them repeatedly scramble, and also to test Taiwan's responses.
This uptick in aggression surrounding Taiwan and China has the international community spooked, particularly after the US has made it very clear that there will be no incursion against Taiwan on their watch.

Although widely recognized as founder and key figure in the current re-emergence of pragmatism, Charles Peirce is rarely brought into contemporary dialogue. In this book, Kory Sorrell shows that Peirce has much to offer contemporary debate and deepens the value of Peirce's view of representation in light of feminist epistemology, philosophy of science, and cultural anthropology. Drawing also on William James and John Dewey, Sorrell identifies ways in which bias, authority, and purpose are ineluctable constituents of shared representation. He nevertheless defends Peirce's realistic account of representation, showing how the independently real world both constrains social representation and informs its content. Most importantly, Sorrell shows how members of a given community not only represent but transform a shared world-and how those practices of representation may, and should, be improved.


It's a musical. Two words. First word: greeting, second word: girl's toy. Yes, it's "Hello Dolly!". Featuring Barbra Streisand, Walter Matthau and Michael Crawford, with guest star Louis Armstrong who appears for under a minute.
Mrs Dolly Levi is a poor widow who has been hired by Mr Horace Vandergelder, the well known (unmarried) half a millionaire, first citizen of Yonkers, NY and owner of Vandergelder's Hay & Feed, to find him the ideal wife. That ideal wife is her. She arrives in Yonkers to whisk Horace's vertically challenged niece off to New York and away from marriage to an impractical, seven foot tall nincompoop artist with whom she is in love (Dolly whisks them away together because she's in favour of their marriage). On the same day, Horace drives off to New York to propose to Irene Molloy, a lady milliner who hates hats, much to Dolly's dismay. His chief clerk, Cornelius, and apprentice, Barnaby, are left to look after the store. Taking advantage of Horace's overnight absence, Cornelius and Barnaby decide to go to New York as well. Overhearing their plans and wanting to prevent any engagement between Horace and Irene, Dolly suggests they pay a visit to a certain millinery shop. The result is instant attraction so Miss Molloy won't become Mrs Vandergelder any time soon. Seeing their boss and Dolly approaching the shop, Cornelius and Barnaby hide in a cupboard and under a table respectively. When Horace finds out there are two men hiding in the shop he storms out. Dolly teaches the fugitives to dance and suggests they take the ladies to the finest and most expensive restaurant in the city, the Harmonia Gardens.
Miss Vertically Challenged and the Amorous Artist have gone to dinner at the Harmonia Gardens as well, passing on the message "Dolly's coming back" to the overjoyed staff.
Dolly herself arranges a dinner for two between Horace and the wealthy heiress, Miss Ernestina Simple, who is actually an old friend and penniless actress called Gussie Granger that Dolly just happened to meet at the 14th street parade. As agreed, "Miss Simple" leaves shortly before 8, meeting Dolly outside.
After a good song and dance (literally), Horace accidentally meets his niece, the artist, clerk, apprentice, milliner and her assistant, and is knocked unconscious by an angry cream-covered fellow customer (long story...).
Once he has regained consciousness, Dolly says (well, sings if I'm honest) goodbye.
Next day, Horace wakes up and realises that his niece and staff have left. Dolly comes by to tell him she's found him the ideal wife. He tells her he doesn't want her to find him the ideal wife, if he wants an ideal wife he'll find one on his own and he has found her and it's her.
Thank you for your attention. I did intend to write a short summary, but as you can see it didn't work. Sorry.

Michael Lecours, CFP® | Confident. Returns. - Part 4 Michael Lecours, CFP® – Page 4 – Confident. Returns.
The "Retire in your 30's concept" has been gaining some traction these last few months. There are a lot of success stories being shared from others about how they have been able to retire early. From time to time, I find one that is particularly interesting and want to share it.
JP Livingston is 28 years old. She has been saving about 70% of her take home pay and investing it. Over the last 10 years or so, she has been able to amass about $2 million by socking money away and living well below her means. No secret tricks. No get rich quick schemes. She was disciplined enough to save. What makes this story unique is that she did this while living in NYC!
New England has two states that make the top of the list. New Hampshire claims the top spot and Maine claims the third spot. Surprised? I am too. I guess Bankrate didn't factor in cold weather as Minnesota and Colorado also made the top 5.
When markets reach heights like this, it's a great time to evaluate your portfolio to see if you are invested correctly. Too often, investors wait for the market to decline before doing that analysis. That's the worst time to reevaluate how you're invested.
Instead, follow the old adage: Buy Low, Sell High. Perhaps, you aren't as willing to accept a 10%-15% decline as you were 5-10 years ago. If that's the case we should think about taking profits of the table and moving into a more conservative lineup.
If you're curious about how your portfolio stacks up to your risk tolerance, please complete this questionnaire. This is an extremely valuable exercise that can compare your personal risk tolerance to your actual investments to quantify how much risk you're willing to take and how much risk is in your portfolio. Basically, you're asked a series questions that will result in a risk score. I then analyze your holdings that you maintain with us and investments held elsewhere to arrive at a portfolio risk score. Hopefully, they match but if not we can take steps to tweak your holdings.
We believe this a tortoise vs hare race in terms of investing. Lots of investors are piling into the market right now as they don't want to miss this surge. Or they are seeing unbelievable opportunities. Caution is being replaced by exuberance for some investors. This is the first time since the recession of 2008 and 2009, that we are hearing investors feel confident and optimistic in the markets. This kind of knee-jerk reaction reminds me of the story about the tortoise and the hare, where the hare is overly confident in his abilities while the tortoise remains steady and purposefully in his pursuit. In this case, we will gladly be the tortoise. We will continue our steadfast approach to investing and will not deviate from our process.
What's changed since trump's election: Trump has continued to tweet his positions and that has been well received by the market. No policies have been actually implemented, yet the market is pricing itself as though the policies have been implemented. We all know intuitively that a president can't just snap his fingers to make things happen. As Trump hits resistance in implementing his plans, we expect the stock market to overreact to the bad news. We expect more volatility this year as the market tries to correctly price itself based on the actions and words (and tweets) from an unconventional, and unpredictable leader.
Foreign Opportunities: As measured by valuations, the US stock market is expensive to invest in right now. But when we look oversees, we see stocks on sale. When the 2008 and 2009 recession occurred, the US stock market came back and has reached new highs, but many of the foreign markets have continued to muddle along over the last few years. One related item is how the dollar will do relative to other currencies – if the dollar continues to strengthen, it could mute any returns we see abroad.
Small Cap Opportunities: As the US and other countries embrace a more nationalistic attitude, foreign trade will likely be affected. This means, that large US companies that see a significant profit coming from overseas trading will likely be hurt thanks to tariffs. On the flip side, smaller US companies that serve mostly customers in the US will likely do better since they will not have to compete as much with foreign companies (bc there goods would be slapped with tariffs coming into the US).
Bottom line: While we do see some opportunities, we plan to maintain a defensive approach to investing. We see the current run up in stock prices to be unwarranted and that there will be a reversion to the mean at some point. The opposite is true when looking abroad – the foreign markets have limped along for too long and we expect a reversion to the mean to occur at some point.
The big headline the other day was news of the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) reaching 20,000 for the first time. It's gathered headlines all over the world. I counted 13 articles in The Wall Street Journal about the Dow 20,000. Most of the mainstream media has been quick to jump on what this means for investors, the market, and the future. And some of that thinking is flawed. This post will focus on putting this milestone in perspective for you and, more importantly, what it means for your investments.
It is an index consisting of 30 companies. That's a very small representation of the overall market and can completely misrepresent how the whole market is doing in reality.
The Dow Jones is 100% US stocks which represent a single asset class. On top of that, it skews heavily toward large-cap industrial companies. This may have been valuable 130 years ago when the index was first created, but the economy has changed drastically since this index was first created. No longer are industrial companies an accurate representation of the overall market like they once were.
A company is included in the DJIA because it was selected by a committee of the Wall Street Journal. They actively decide which companies should be included and which should be removed.
The common methodology to determine the weighting of each company is very unusual. Most modern indexes are weighted based on the market capitalization – the bigger the company, the larger representation it holds in the index. The DJIA weights the company based on the share price of each stock. The larger the price per share, the larger the weight in the index. That puts Goldman Sachs as the largest holding at about 8% and GE at the second lowest (about 1%). This reason for this methodology dates back to a time before computers when a simple methodology was needed.
Here is a technical issue – the DJIA was prone to inaccurate calculations before computers were used to track the index. In going back to the very beginning and correcting all the mistakes, the DJIA passed 30,000 last month.
While you can't invest directly in indexes, you can invest in indexes the mimic and replicate the performance of the underlying index. When you total the dollar amount that tracks the DJIA, it adds up to about $36 billion. To put that in perspective – over $2 trillion track some version of the S&P 500!
As you can see, this is a deeply flawed and outdated index. It serves very little use for most investors because of these flaws. It is not a good gauge of the overall health of the market or the economy. It barely does a good job of capturing the health of industrial segment of our economy in the US. It should never compared to a broad, diversified investment portfolio. So the Dow reaching 20,000 is a big story about an out-of-date index.

Who Were The Etruscans?
The Etruscans were an ancient Italian community whose language and culture remains largely a mystery. But the wealth of beautiful artifacts they left behind gives us some clues as to who these people actually were.
Mar 5, 2020 • By Laura Hayward, MA Classics, PGCE Classics, BA Latin with Greek
Wall painting from the Tomb of the Leopards in the necropolis at Tarquinia in Italy showing a banquet scene.
As a powerful, indigenous people living in pre-Roman Italy from the 9th century BCE, the ancient Etruscans have left their artistic mark on Western civilization. However, questions about their mysterious language and culture have perplexed historians and archaeologists for many centuries.
One of the reasons for this is because almost nothing from their literary record has survived, aside from functional inscriptions and funerary texts. But what has survived is a wealth of artifacts, from beautiful bronze mirrors and fine gold jewelry to terracotta sculpture and distinctive pottery. In examining these artistic clues, we can start to piece together some of the details about who these people really were.
The Etruscan Enigma
Map of ancient Etruria, via Wikipedia
The Etruscans lived in a number of independent settlements across ancient Etruria, which at the height of their power stretched across modern-day Tuscany, Umbria and Lazio. These communities (the larger settlements are often referred to as 'League cities') shared a language and culture but were also autonomous from each other and, at times, engaged in hostilities.
Their homeland was rich in natural resources, such as copper and iron, and by 750 BCE they were developing trade links with cities across the Mediterranean.

Wealthy Etruscans began to import the finest luxuries from Syria, Asia Minor and particularly Greece. By 575 BCE, Greek craftsmen were settling in Etruria and establishing workshops there due to the Etruscan demand for their produce. Some of the finest examples of Greek vases ever discovered have been found in Etruscan tombs.
Etruria and Rome
The Roman Forum, photograph by author
By the 6th century BCE, Rome was a growing urban settlement ruled by kings. Three of its kings, Tarquinius Priscus, Servius Tullius and Tarquinius Superbus, were of Etruscan origin, a clear symbol of Etruria's power in Italy at that time. Under the Etruscan kings, Rome grew into a city of economic and military strength.
Servius Tullius, in particular, is credited with establishing the foundations of Rome's political and legal institutions. However, these three kings were also victims of their own success and, by 509 BCE, the monarchy had been over-thrown and the Roman Republic was born.
As Rome's power grew, she began to expand, defeating and consuming neighboring tribes and cities. Over the next two hundred years, all of Etruria came under Roman control, consigning the Etruscan identity to history.

Mystery has surrounded the Etruscan language for centuries and it is only in the last few decades that some progress has been made in understanding its complexities. The language remains elusive because it is linguistically isolated; it is not an Indo-European language and therefore is not comparable with more familiar ancient languages, such as Latin or Greek.
The script takes the form of an alphabet and some of its letters are similar to Greek letters. Some texts can be largely understood from their context, particularly in the case of epitaph inscriptions; however, our knowledge of Etruscan grammar and vocabulary is limited.

No literary texts, such as poems or letters, survive but in the 19th century Etruscan writing was discovered on strips of linen, binding an Egyptian mummy. The mysterious discovery unveiled the longest existing Etruscan text, known as the 'Linen Book'. Much of the text cannot be read accurately but it appears to be a type of religious calendar, with references to dates and various deities.

Etruscan religion appears to have revolved around various beliefs and practices disseminated by seers and priests. From tomb paintings and altars, we know that they believed in a variety of gods and goddesses, some of whom were adopted from Greek religion.
Tin/Tinia was the Etruscan equivalent of the Greek Zeus and Uni was his wife. Their daughter was Menrva, the goddess of war, art and wisdom. From her name alone it is easy to see that she was later absorbed by the Romans into their state religion as Minerva.
Etruscan priests practiced divination, the art of interpreting signs given by the natural world. For example, every public event would begin with the examination of the liver of a sacrificed animal.

Bronze labelled templates have been discovered which are believed to have been used in these ceremonies to divine the meaning of lumps and discoloration in particular sections of the liver. This practice was later adopted and closely adhered to by the Romans.

The Etruscans are perhaps most well-known today for their artistic material culture, which took the form of pottery, terracotta sculpture, jewelry, and bronze-work. From the 6th century BCE onwards, the styles and designs used by Etruscan craftsmen also highlight the clear influence of Greek culture on Etruria.
One of the earliest examples of terracotta objects, dating from the 8th century BCE, are hut urns used to store the cremated ashes of the deceased. These engaging cinerary urns take the form of small houses, often with decorated walls and removable doors, which were thought to offer a safe haven for the spirits of the dead. It is believed that the urns depict miniature versions of houses and sacred buildings of the time.
The 7th century BCE saw the emergence of a distinctive and uniquely Etruscan form of pottery, known as bucchero. Bucchero ware is distinguishable by its shiny black or grey surface formed in a specialized firing process. Highly decorative and later imitated by Greek potters, bucchero pottery has been found in large numbers in Etruscan tombs. It appears to have been particularly favored by the elite as a symbol of power and social status.

Etruscan craftsmen were also renowned for their bronze-work, in particular decorative mirrors. Large numbers of mirrors have been found in Etruscan tombs and it appears that they were the prized possessions of both women and men. One side of the mirror was burnished or silvered to give it its reflective quality and the other side was often engraved.
Detailed scenes from Greek mythology can be found on many of these mirrors, another sign of cultural influence. The mirrors served a practical purpose but also a symbolic one. They were commonly given as bridal gifts and therefore became objects of sentimental as well as monetary value.

Perhaps the Etruscans' most notable artistic achievements can be found in their gold-work and jewelry. Etruscan goldsmiths were particularly skilled in the art of granulation and filigree and surpassed the expertise of even their Greek counterparts. Granulation is the process by which tiny metal granules are formed and then applied to a surface to create a design.
Filigree is the art of forming fine metal wire into intricate patterns. Both techniques were common in Etruscan jewelry from the 7th century BCE and exquisite examples have been found everywhere from northern France to the Levant. Today, one of the finest collections of Etruscan jewelry in the world can be viewed in the Vatican Museums in Rome.

It is clear, therefore, that the Etruscans were a community who took pleasure in fine objects and luxurious materials. We may not fully understand their language and religious practices but we can appreciate their rich and sophisticated culture as well as the influences they embraced from the world around them.
They were a people who ultimately succumbed to the rising power of Rome but their artistic legacy will forever live on in the wealth of artifacts they left behind.

A visit to Santiago de Tequila
2017 Colours of Mexico March 2017 Suzanne A. Marshall
March 1, 2017 January 1, 2018 Suzanne A. MarshallLeave a Comment on A visit to Santiago de Tequila
By Suzanne A. Marshall from the March 2017 Edition
We are off on a short, 4 day excursion with family, to give them a taste of the countryside and tourist attractions that are not far away from the shores of Manzanillo.
Our destination is the town of Tequila. The countryside is absolutely beautiful through the Sierra Madre Mountains and undulating hills with row upon row of blue agave plants as far as the eye can see. We have also been told about other attractions involving the production of opal and black Abyssinian gems and jewelry from mines in the area.
With our rooms booked at a lovely small inn on the square, we all look forward to some new adventures. We also booked a short tour of the oldest established tequila distillery named Jose Cuervo. There, we learned a great deal more about Mexico's famous brew and did a little sipping, too.
Located in the State of Jalisco, about an hour west of Guadalajara, the town of Tequila is a wonderful touring destination. Founded in 1530 by Franciscan monks, the municipality is home to approximately 40,000 people with some 26,000 residents in the town itself.
Tequila is best known, of course, for being the birthplace of the drink that bears its name "tequila". The drink is made from the blue agave plant, native to the area. Tequila was also named a "Pueblo Mágico" (Magical Town) in 2003 by the Federal Government and is also a World Heritage Site.
When in Mexico, who doesn't want to check out the origins of fine tequila making and savor the subtle variances. Unlike the television or movie impressions about hard drinking characters consuming tequila, many of us become quite enthralled and delighted by learning the true character of the drink and its numerous grade levels. There are collectors of fine tequilas that compare the best of cognacs and good scotch to the delicate palate of really good tequila. Many will debate what is 'the best of the best'. No one ever wins the debate of course as this all depends on your individual preferences.
For me, having been introduced to the taste of a wonderful tequila by our Mexican neighbors (also producers), tequila can be among the smoothest of 'straight up' alcoholic beverages that I've ever tasted. The variances are attributed to stages of the distillation process, aging and the type of wood used for holding and aging the mixtures.
Until spending more time in Mexico, I never knew that tequila is really a variety of mescal (or mezcal), made wholly or mostly from the blue agave plant. The heart of the agave plant, known as the piña (little pineapple) has been used to make sweets and fermented alcohol going back to the preHispanic period. The beverage was called mescal and was much like what is called pulque today. It was the Spanish who eventually introduced the distillation process and the first large-scale distillery was created in 1600.
From our tour we learned that the agave plants are ready for harvesting after at least eight years of growth. The heart of the agave plants (piña) actually weigh between 40 to 60 kilos. They really do resemble pineapples once they are trimmed of their spikes. But when you have the opportunity, as we did, to stand beside a mountain of them in the brewery, they are surprisingly large.
When we entered the actual cooking areas where ovens are stoked and loaded for cooking the agave hearts, we were not able to take photos. This was apparently for safety regulations due to the seepage of alcohol fumes and gases produced during the tequila distilling process.
It was interesting to note that much of the agave plant trimmings are composted for mixing back into the vast fields, thus enriching the soil. This is part of a plant rotation system that allows the soil to rest and renew itself for more agave growth in future. Other uses of the plant trimmings include making craft paper, twine, burlap type cloth and agave honey.
However the journey is not just about the making of tequila. It is also a charming town with a beautiful central square complete of course, with a fabulous cathedral (Our Lady of the Purisima Concepcion). The square itself offers lovely restaurants, gift shops and of course 'Mercados' full of many variations and decorative bottles of tequila. While there, you may wish to visit the National Museum of Tequila. It is dedicated to the history of tequila liquor and the only one of its kind in the world. Also take a peek in the courtyard of city hall to see a beautiful mu-ral depicting the history of the area and its people.
Having toured the distillery; viewed the cathedral; walked the shops and streets and purchased some mighty fine tequila, we found ourselves amiably exhausted. Earlier we had dined on traditional Mexican food so we headed for a little coffee shop on the square to complete the evening. As we sat and dis-cussed the day and enjoyed the ambiance of the cooling breezes, the church bells began to toll. Everyone in the square including shops, restaurants and their employees stood and bowed their heads for the daily traditional blessing of the town by the town priest. Although it took us a few minutes to react and understand the occasion, we rose to our feet and followed suit of course. I noted it was 9 PM. I couldn't help but feel something very special about that moment and our visit to this lovely location in Mexico. We would all highly recommend it.

This was Stefanie and Andrew's third time taking engagement photos. So, of course, they waffled on whether to bother with them at all. We're so stoked they decided to! It's so helpful for us to have this extra time with our couples–to see how they interact, hear about their likes and dislikes, and give them time to get comfortable with us. We want our couples to think of us as old friends by their wedding day. The more comfortable you are, the more amazing your photos will be!
This certainly won't be a problem with these two. We have so much fun with them! We can't wait to celebrate with you and all of your wonderful friends in the fall!
