Q: How can I make a 'button' create a movable DIV onMouseDown, and switch the 'MouseDown' to the new DIV? So I haven't yet started writing any of this, so I'll do my best to put together some pseudocode for the sake of clarity - but the idea here is that a user would click and hold on a 'button' ( might not end up being an actual button ), that then spawns a movable DIV. Once the DIV has been created ( wherever the mouse is at the time, perhaps offset a little so the mouse is inside the div ), I'd like to switch my 'hold focus' to the new, movable DIV, so that it can be positioned on the screen; at which time I'll do some other operations on the DIV - but after this point the remainder is irrelevant to the question.
In true, incomplete pseudocode - this is roughly what I'm after; and I believe that my biggest question here is how to actually change my grab focus.
<script>
function NewDiv()
{
   NewDiv = CreateDiv(MouseX, MouseY);
   GrabDiv(NewDiv);
}

function CreateDiv(X, Y)
{
    // DOM for a new DIV... I've got this part covered...
    // JQuery for Movable - Covered
    NewDiv.style.left=(X - 3) + "px";
    NewDiv.style.top=(Y - 3) + "px";

    return NewDiv;
}

function GrabDiv(Div)
{
    // Here's the question...

    // Div.Focus? - While the mouse is still down, I might think this would work?
    // Div.onMouseDown? - Buuuuuut... Is that going to interact with the mouse properly?
}

</script>

<input type='button' onMouseDown='NewDiv();' value="Spawn a new Div" />

Now - again, the real question is what the 'proper' approach to the 'GrabDiv' function would be. Any feedback is much appreciated; and if I need to elaborate at all I'm glad to.
-- It looks like there may have been at least one other post on something like this; with a pretty convoluted answer. Perhaps this little bump will encourage a new answer. Hopes.

A: Have you seen this working somewhere else?
I would look into using jQuery-UI's drag and drop.
Edit: I guess it does work. I would use this jsbin as a starting point: http://jsbin.com/deyovunaxe/2/edit

What I'm reading (bike) Up Close and Personal, by Carla Cassidy.
First -- Happy New Year to those who are celebrating the arrival of the year 5772 in the Jewish calendar.
Next, Thanks to Karen Cote and Avery Aames for being my guests. There's still time to join the Thanksgiving Project and to win Avery's book, so scroll down if you haven't read their posts.
Please keep an eye on my sidebar. That's where you'll find updates, including savings on books and more.
And I've been negligent in mentioning that Sept. 24 - Oct. 1st is Banned Book Week. Don't take for granted our freedom to read. Check out these frequently challenged classics.
When I was re-editing FINDING SARAH for its re-release, I thought I'd check to see if there were any scenes I'd cut that might be worth slipping back into the book, now that length was not the issue it was for the print version. I did expand one scene showing Randy at work as a detective, in what I'd called his "kitchen caper" scene, but when I looked at another scene I'd enjoyed writing, I decided it still didn't belong in the book.
Why? Because the scene didn't do anything other than keep Randy from getting back to Sarah. Now, pulling the hero and heroine apart can create conflict, but a scene needs more than one reason to exist in a book. And this scene just didn't have it.
But, because it was fun, I've added it to my Cutting Room Floor files on my website. Why don't you pop over and read it, and then come back to see the final, very much abridged, version.
I have made pies since I was a little girl. Chocolate pudding pies, fruit pies, lemon meringue. I sold them around the neighborhood. My favorite is still apple pie (and peach pie…but for this blog…apple). I could eat pie for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. In addition, I love cheese. What could be better than combining the two? I'm not just talking adding a slice of cheddar on the side, which is what my dad loved to do. I wanted to incorporate the cheese into the pie. Since I need to eat gluten-free (something I discovered over 12 years ago…that's another whole blog), I have had to adjust my eating habits. One of the easiest things to make, if you can find a good, gluten-free frozen pie shell, is apple pie. If you can't find that, there are plenty of mixes, including Bisquick and Bob's Red Mill and Pamela's, (all gluten-free, already boxed or bagged) that will help you make a single shell. Instead of adding a lattice pie pastry to the top of this pie, I shredded cheese. It turned out gorgeous. And scrumptious.
"Life is good; cheese makes it better." That's my quote and I'm sticking to it.
Today my guest is Karen Cote, who reminds us that sometimes it's important to look beyond ourselves.
Hello and thank you so much Terry for allowing this platform to announce a big heart…Coffee Time Romance. A sponsor for a very special project for those in need. Check out the details below and please…get involved. All that's needed is someone to step forward to nominate a family and give hope to someone who may need a helping hand in a time of need.
We need you to help us select a needy family this season.
Thanksgiving is a time for family gatherings and holiday meals - for sharing and spreading happiness. A time to be thankful for the people, experiences, and gifts we receive in our lives. Unfortunately, there are some people who have a tougher situation than we do. Regardless of the hardship in their lives, whether it's a family crisis, lost job or other unforeseen circumstances, they are unable to truly celebrate the holidays because of their financial situation.
In hopes of helping these families share in the holidays, last year, Silver Publishing donated two $500 Gift Certificates to grocery stores local to two needy winners. The recipients were nominated by family, friends and coworkers who witnessed, first-hand, the hardship these families experiences day-to-day. They nominated each family via a forum post. It was heartbreaking to pick only two families, but we chose and they were able to join others in the holiday experience.
Writing, especially if you're going the indie route, requires a lot of non-writing stuff.
If you recall an earlier post, when rights revert, the covers aren't included, so I had to get new covers for FINDING SARAH and HIDDEN FIRE. Thanks to Jessica's efforts, and my sister-in-law's photography, there's a new cover for FINDING FIRE that fits right in with the other two books.
Then it's a matter of formatting. Each sales venue requires slight modifications, so you have to make sure you're linking the Barnes & Noble books to your Barnes & Noble page, not your Amazon page. Formatting the actual text for Amazon, B&N and Smashwords is simple, but All Romance eBooks requires that you do your own conversions for the various formats. I used Calibre, which isn't too complicated, but it's still time consuming to create 4 or 5 formats for 3 different books.
Thanks to everyone who commented on last Thursday's post. My random number generator has selected chrissymunder as the winner.
Chrissy, please email me at bookstore (at) terryodell (dot) com to arrange for your prize, a download of Finding Sarah.
First, you can still have a chance to win a copy of FINDING SARAH -- just scroll to yesterday's post and leave a comment. Winner announced on Sunday. And I'm still looking for 500 followers on Google Connect and 250 'likes'.
In addition to high tea, our guests enjoy (make that REALLY enjoy) hiking. One of our excursions began at the American Eagle min overlook, near Victor, Coloardo.
I'm still talking characters at Coffee Time Romance (link in the sidebar).
And don't forget my goal of 500 followers by the end of the year. And 250 likes. Giveaways when milestones are reached. I still can't count on the followers gadget to show up, but I'm optimistic things will stabilize.
We've had family visiting all week, so we've had a change in our routine. I was going to recycle a writing post I'd posted before, but thought I'd simply share one of our 'adventures.' On the other hand, it IS a writing post, because everything can be considered writing fodder. I can think of several writing connections here. What about you? Leave your ideas in the comments, and I'll given one commenter a download of Finding Sarah once it goes live. And now, join us for tea.
Hubster's sister is a tea aficionado, so we went to our local coffee house that advertises "high tea." In our rural area, any sort of approximation of elegance is rare, so we didn't know what to expect. We know the coffee house well—we have breakfast there almost every Sunday, but despite it's decor, which reminds me of my grandmother's house, it's more 'local grub'—breakfast burritos, biscuits and gravy type stuff. And the clientele is usually the "rugged" sort.
We're having company this week, so I made a recipe that my daughter and her husband love. I'm not much of a beef eater, but this recipe called for bison (although you can use beef, or a combination of the two) and I thought it would be appropriately "Colorado" for our guests. This recipe was modified from a recipe from Chef Brian Lyman on the Celebrity Kitchen website.
Bison is less fatty than beef. The original recipe calls for half and half, but I used broth. It also called for butter for sauteing the vegetables, but I used olive oil. As always, do what works for you. You could bake this in regular loaf pans, but I liked doing them free form, because I could do two smaller loaves and they cooked faster. We'd been hiking all afternoon, and faster cooking seemed better!
Today my guest at Terry's Place is BD Tharp. She's a self-proclaimed book-a-holic who knows what makes a bookstore a "destination". She admits her favorite place to write or read is in the local bookstore, with a large latte close at hand.
And it's also my day at The Blood-Red Pencil, where I'm talking about some confusing words.
Everywhere I go I have to visit the local bookstore(s). Recently we were in Taos, so I stopped by the "Moby Dickens" bookshop in the Taos Plaza. It's a great little shop with floor to ceiling shelves filled with bright colored books. Most of the shelves are painted white, so the spines really pop, and the books that are faced forward catch your attention. There are nooks and crannies to explore or settle into for a quick perusal of the book jacket blurb or first page or two.
Like most bookstores they also have other items, decorative pens, stationary, artistic cards, stuffed animals, eclectic bookmarks, maps and other interesting paraphernalia. Have you ever noticed the smells--of paper, leather and the inevitable dust that collects no matter how many times you wipe the surfaces clean? It's a comfortable aroma that permeates all bookstores.
With the explosion of electronic books we've lost some nice stores (e.g. Borders Books). And not just the large chains or discounters, either, we've lost a lot of small independent bookstores, too. Personally, I love a bargain. Give me a coupon and I'm ready to use it. But there are special stores that become a "destination", a place for readers and writers to go and hang out.
After a long wait, I finally got a reversion of rights date for FINDING SARAH and HIDDEN FIRE. As of Wednesday, they will be mine. It should be noted that when you get the rights to a book back, all you "own" is what's between the covers, not the covers. So, I hired a cover artist and this is the new look. I'm trying to call attention to the fact that these two books are connected, so we went for a similar look in both. My sister-in-law provided the main cover image for FINDING SARAH and my son, whom many of you have met here, provided the image for HIDDEN FIRE.
Why did I ask for my rights back? Bottom line: the books weren't doing anything for me (or the publisher, I would assume). About 18 months ago, one of my publishers "remaindered" my first Blackthorne, Inc. book, WHEN DANGER CALLS. The rights reverted to me, and I thought I'd give indie publishing a try. E-books were nothing new to me; my other publishers had been e-book first publishers.
So, I tackled the learning curve for putting books on Smashwords, Barnes & Noble, Amazon, and a few other sites. I discovered that although I wasn't raking in the bucks, I was making some sales.
When Ellora's Cave said they were closing down their Cerridwen Press line, and were moving those books into the EC umbrella under the "Blush" imprint, I decided to take the rights back to WHAT'S IN A NAME? but to leave FINDING SARAH and HIDDEN FIRE there, to see if sales would be better under Blush. Meanwhile, I re-published WHAT'S IN A NAME? myself, along with a few short stories.
1. Virtually no spam in my spam filter. Perhaps the embedded format thwarts these bots.
2. Some difficulty in leaving comments for those with IE. If you're using IE, I found that clicking the 'preview' before trying to submit a comment sometimes shook things loose. And I did have to sign in to Google again. Perhaps that also helped clear the pipes.
3. The Followers via Google Connect Gadget seems to have a mind of its own. I'm sure this is because I put out a plea for more followers.
*** New: According to Blogger, there's some sort of filter and cookie issue (I don't speak that language) which is keeping some IE users from commenting. I've tried the last option, and we'll see what happens. If you use IE and are willing to give things a try, I'd appreciate it. Still don't have an answer on the followers gadget thingie.
If you want to comment but can't, my email is in the contact tab.
Blogging. I've been here at Blogger since July of 2006. This was my first post.
The template I used was a lot different then, but as Blogger updates, it's "retroactive" so you can't see how bare bones my early blog page was.
I've got some questions at the end of this post, and would appreciate your feedback. I hope you'll take a moment to comment.
A while back, there were issues leaving comments on this blog, so I changed the comment system to the pop up instead of embedded. Perhaps coincidentally, I noticed a upsurge in spam comments. Now, Blogger has a very good (as far as this blog is concerned) spam filter, and in all these months, only one spam post has made it through the filter. However, I get notified about every comment posted here, and that includes the spam. Then, I feel some obligation to verify that they didn't show up on the page, which does take time.
A possible solution might be to put back the spam word verification system, but that adds one more step for my legitimate readers, and I really prefer to make things as simple as possible. I allow anonymous comments, simply because there are those who prefer not to give any personal information.
Thanks to Cicily for yesterday's most informative post.
The other day, I wanted to make this recipe for New Mexico Green Chili. However, I didn't have all the ingredients, and I was only willing to go as far as the local grocery store in Divide. When I couldn't find poblano chiles, I used what they had: Anaheim. And, after a little time with Google and Facebook, I determined they'd be acceptable substitutes.
Here's the original recipe with my notations. I made it with the beans as a vegetarian dish, but the recipe also says you can used cooked chicken. Or, I would imagine, any other meat of choice.
Today my guest is Cicily Janus. As a published author, a journalist and sleep deprived intern for one of the best agencies on the planet, Cicily would like to think that maybe, just maybe, that her unsolicited advice helps others.
Being a published author, I was hesitant to tell people, mainly other writers, that I wanted to move over to the dark side. The agent side. Trust me, this isn't some kind of power-trip. I honestly wanted to help writers become successful in their goals.
The question was, how to do this without losing myself and becoming, what much of the writing world considers agents, a member of the dark forces. To tell the truth, there wasn't a way around it.
This process has afforded me considerable perspective as a writer. When I set out on this journey I was optimistic that good writers were in abundance. But after working for two of the best agents in the country for over two years, I've learned that it isn't about being good, it's about being sparklingly impressive from word one in both your query and MS.
These days the market is overly saturated. The effect it has on agents (and their interns) is this: We're simply unable to give feedback, advice or anything BUT a form rejection. So...here's a new angle on agents. Over one year I rejected 3,000+ writers. Among these: 90% were form rejections, 9% didn't follow published rules for queries and 1% had pages requested. Of that 1%, only one...and that's one person...was signed. So I began to ask myself, how do writers go from good to great?
First – after many delays, DECEPTION, a mystery anthology including one of my short stories, is available for sale at Amazon, Books a Million, and Barnes & Noble.
I've been reading manuscripts for a contest recently, submitted by unpublished authors. I've noticed a problem that I think is worth sharing. Research. Too much or too little.
Everyone's heard it: Write What You Know. But what does that really mean? Do you have to be a cop or PI to write a detective story? Can you write about a chef if you can barely boil water? If you're a firefighter, is that all you can write about?
Now, having the inside skinny on the workings of any profession, craft, or lifestyle will add depth and color to your work. Most of the time, agents and editors will want to know why you're the one who can write the book. They love platforms.
Please take a moment to remember the events and the lives lost on September 11, 2001.
First -- Happy 90th Birthday to my aunt, although she'll never see this because she wants nothing to do with computers. Happy Birthday anyway, and you should be getting flowers because you don't have a computer. Oh, I'd have sent them anyway, even if you DID have a computer. Love you.
Last Monday, not because it was Labor Day (when you're retired, empty-nesters and/or work from home, one day is exactly like any other--except for Tuesday being clean sheet day, and Wednesday being garbage pick up day, Sunday being drinks at McGinty's, etc.), but because the weather was nice and we'd skipped our usual Sunday hike (which you can do if you're retired, empty-nesters and/or work from home) and headed out to a nearby Women's Memorial Forest, where I took pictures of Gnarly Things. Had I been Jason, they'd have been prettier, but I'm not, so you'll have to deal with my point and shoot, straight out of the camera (more or less) shots.
I'm continuing my "All About Characters" seminar at Coffee Time Romance with a discussion of the various types of characters today: Stars, Supporting Cast, Extras, Walk-ons and Spear Carriers. Please drop by. But don't forget to come back.
The big switch in publishing is into digital formats. Whereas a couple of years ago, people wanted to know if they could walk into a bookstore and buy my books, today I'm more likely to hear, "Is it on the Kindle?"
Side note: As a NOOK color owner, I don't really like the idea that everyone assumes an e-book reader is Kindle, but I think it's slowly becoming generic…kind of like Kleenex. But there ARE other readers.
When I decided to bypass the publisher for DANGER IN DEER RIDGE, another Blackthorne, Inc. novel, I formatted it for every digital outlet I could handle. Barnes & Noble, Amazon, All Romance eBooks, and via Smashwords, also Sony, Apple, and more. I did it all myself, and I didn't find it too complicated, perhaps because I've been involved with publishers who required digital submissions. I knew enough about formatting a Word doc so I wasn't intimidated by the Smashwords formatting guidelines. And I definitely recommend starting there. Once you've mastered Smashwords, the rest is easy.
I also recommend the free program, Calibre, which will convert a document to most formats, since All Romance eBooks doesn't do the conversions the way the other shops do.
But I've digressed. I meant to talk about print books. I know there are still readers who want to read print. My mother, for example. Even though I know sales of my print version will be minuscule when compared with digital, the more formats, the more readers I can reach.
Thanks to Kelly for her reminder that we can't slack off even when we're the boss.
For today's cooking installment, I decided to go with something quick, easy, and versatile. My mom called this "Sauce for Vegetables" but it can be used for a lot more than that. Hubster grilled fish the other night, and because it was a very mild flavored fish, I decided to dress it up with this sauce.
Today my guest is Kelly McClymer. She's written short science fiction, fantasy,historical romance and YA. After dipping a toe into the indie epublishing trade by bringing out her backlist, she found she liked the control, the income, and the (relatively) quick payment turnaround. Once she gets the business side ironed out, she'll be epublishing several indie original YA novels. And while Kelly is here, I'm over at Coffee Time Romance talking characters.
I know many people who dream of being their own bosses…until they are. And then they run screaming back to the world of 8 hour work days, regular paychecks and paid vacation days.
I've always had a mix of choose-your-own and follow-the-leader jobs. I find good things about both (a paycheck you can count on is very nice), but at heart I'm an entrepreneur. I want to do something new as soon as I've learned the old thing well enough. Writing is the only career that lets me do that, with the added advantage of allowing me to use what I've discovered working regular jobs.
For years now, I've been pulling what I've learned from life and using it in books, some sold and some yet unsold and unfinished. Motherhood has informed a lot of my writing, but so has my first career as babysitter (perfect for a YA writer), my years working in the drug store, in various university offices, as a tutor for children with dyslexia, and as a temp employee. I always thought I was a good business person, though, and able to tend to the business side (deadlines, quality control, keeping myself out there for people to stumble over).
And then I started putting my backlist books out as ebooks. The learning curve was steep, and full of hair raising drops and rises, not to mention a hairpin turn or two. I ran a successful promotion and made good sales. I thought I was a good business person.
I hope you're having a safe and happy Labor Day weekend. A reminder: Today's the last day to take advantage of my e-book giveaway.
And another reminder that I'm hosting a month-long discussion of characters at Coffee Time Romance. It's free, and you can drop in any time. And thinking about characters leads me to today's post.
When authors put a character on the page, they've made a decision as to whether or not it will be a POV character. In my opinion, if you're going to make a character a POV character, there needs to be a good reason for it.
If the only reason you're adding a POV character is to show his thoughts, then you should probably re-think it and see if there's another way to get that information to the reader. We live in a single POV world. A POV character has to be critical for plot advancement, not author convenience.
In romance, it's a 'given' that there will be two POV protagonists: hero and heroine. There might be more, but there are always at least two.
Mysteries are another genre. Most mysteries I read feature some kind of crime-solving detective, and often, they're part of a series where the same character heads up the entire series.
And then there's suspense, which by nature, requires more than one POV character, because the reader needs to know more than the protagonist—hence, the suspense.
A recent read falls into the suspense category (the back cover calls it a thriller, but I disagree with the recent overuse of the term). As someone who definitely prefers to connect with characters, I tried to step back and examine why the book works for me.

Today I'm over at Savvy Authors with a blog about R.U.E.
Yesterday I mentioned that Hubster took charge of our anniversary reservations. We stayed at the Cliff House in Manitou Springs, which was a very elegant change from Divide establishments. Wait. There are no hotels in Divide. Anyway, here's a glimpse of our room. Note the turndown service in the last one. And something I've never seen before. They laid little foot mats at each side of the bed. Not that the floor was cold--it's summer and there was carpeting.
We wandered around town for a while. This is one of the old cog railroad engines.
Don't forget my book giveaway. It runs through Labor Day.
Last weekend, Jaxine Daniels spoke to my local RWA chapter. Her topic: The A,B, C's of Romance Heroes. After going through different interpretations of different types of heroes, including the all-too-prevalent alpha male, and quoting a good number of authors, all of whom had their own categories and definitions, the takeaway gem was that there is no need to sweat whether your hero is Alpha, Beta, or Theta. Or a Thinker, Ruler, Warrior, or Sorcerer. Or a Chief, Bad Boy, Best Friend or Charmer.
Write the character you love. Let others worry about where to pigeonhole him. I would say that her description of the Warrior Poet seems to be closest to the heroes I write and love to read about. They're strong when they need to be, but aren't afraid to show their sensitive, loving side. They have the courage to walk away from an unnecessary fight.


If you are looking out for a consultant to take care of your taxation matters then the best option for you is to hire the services of tax consultant as they are very much expert in the field of tax. It is their job to take into consideration all the taxation matters. Thus it is beneficial decision for you to hire the professional services so that you can focus on the other business activities.
Taxation matters vary frequently so keeping track of the same is not always possible for the layman. It is because Taxation policies are bit complicated so it becomes a quite difficult for a lay man to understand the same. So the consultant makes your work a lot easier as he knows the tax law very well and thus easily understands it.
The most common job of any Financial Consulting expert is to prepare and file their tax returns. However this is very vital service as failing to do so properly can make you to pay penalties. If you are preparing it incorrectly then you may lose out a rebate that is due. Secondly they also help and give advice on common tax matters. This also comprises of changing the set up of the business, and rearrangement of payments and income to fall into a different year. The fee charged by the tax consultants varies considerably. Most of them will charge a flat fee chiefly for the preparation purpose. Some will charge their fee based upon the time they spend on a project. These people are very useful at the time of an audit.
A tax consultant can guide you regarding reducing your tax amount. The methods that these experts suggest you with are in accordance with the government rules and regulations. There are many loopholes in the tax structure and many are not aware about it. Thus people do not know how to take advantage of the same. The financial consultants from http://atfconsult.com/accounting are well aware with such loopholes and can suggest you with ways by which you can obtain maximum benefits out of the same.
After you decide to hire their services the next thing you have to do is searching out for the right consultant. It is extremely vital to opt for the right consultant as all your tax related work will completely depend upon the consultant you choose. If you don't know how to search out the best financial consultant then there are two ways that you can follow.
First one is to ask your family and friends if they have worked with any Management Consulting expert before and the second way is to search on the web where you will come across large number of tax consultants. These are the two best ways from which you can make a list of the consultants to appoint. Make certain that the person you are planning to hire has enough experience in the field. He should be familiar with the present scenario of the government tax polices. Also make sure that the person you are planning to hire has the authority to carry out the tax related work otherwise there are chances of you getting deceived by the fraud people.
Accounting and tax services is something that every big and small business firm looks forward for. Almost every organization, irrespective of its business scale has to pay taxes, distribute salaries, prepare p& l accounts along with publishing its annual balance sheet for the inspection of public. In order to execute all such tasks, one has to hire a separate accounting and tax services so as to manage everything in an optimum way.
Accuracy: accuracy can only come if you have mastery upon a specific thing. The hired chartered accountants and auditors of accounting and tax services are certified professionals who have been executing accounting works since decades. These workmen have the caliber to manage the accounting work of more than ten firms at a time. They can be hired on partly basis for the calculation of taxable amount and annual balance sheet of the firms.
Economical: the part time basis accounting and tax services helps one to get rid of those heavy expenses of account office maintenance and monthly salary to the accountant. Moreover, it helps the firm to enjoy a greater privacy as the hired accountant has limited interference in the office work.
Usually people don't understand the benefits of the plans before investing their money in it so first it is important for you to first understand how it works and what are the pros and cons of this investment. There are many kinds of Thrift Savings Plans available which can be diversely useful for various reasons but if you will choose wrong plan then you might invest your money in something that will eventually give you a disappointment.
So, first it is important for you to research about it. TSP or Thrift Savings Plan is considered really very unique and yet profitable source of investing. It is not like any other general investment, when you invest in the TSP correctly with the right strategy then it could be highly advantageous for you that you cannot even imagine.
And of course, when we talk about tax benefits then the TSP stays ahead in it. You can avail greater tax benefits from it. Investment in the Thrift Savings Plan retirement account lets you save lots of tax in your investment.
The TSP retirement account is actually called Tax deferred contributions due to its tax advantageous nature. This is a kind of convenient saving plan because it allows account holder to automatically deduct a certain amount of investment money directly from your paycheck which will make the investment so convenient and easy for you.
There are various kinds of investment options and alternatives in the Thrift Savings Plan so you can always choose one of the most suitable options for you and start saving your money with the higher benefits!
And most important thing that makes this plan advantageous for tax saving is that the amount that you will save in this investment will not be counted in your taxable earnings. It will be saving and will be totally and completely tax free for you! So, what are you waiting for? Go for it and make your future bright and pleasant with some TSP Savings.


Shopping can be difficult for transgender and non-binary teenagers. Some cannot afford clothing, while others can feel uncomfortable or fearful of shopping on the 'wrong side' of the store.
It's an issue that Nick Johnson, IB Diploma Programme (DP) student at Signature School in Evansville, Indiana, USA, knew too well. This is why he and classmate Emme Lang created The Rainbow Jacket Project as part of a Creativity, Activity, Service (CAS) project – it's the first LGBTQ+ clothing bank the area.
The goal is to create a safe and validating space for teenagers while providing gender-affirming clothing and accessories. Clothes are donated to The Rainbow Jacket Project from people in the local area and other schools.
Years later, when he heard a transgender classmate mention that they didn't have clothing that matched their gender, he realized that this problem was more widespread and thought about how he could help.
"I have devoted so much time and energy to this project – creating something that didn't exist before, and then promoting it throughout the community," says Nick. "I have never stopped feeling incredibly proud and happy with what I am doing, and I enjoy all of it.
Nick and Emme are constantly thinking of new ways to try and grow this project and will be hosting an art competition in June for 'Pride' month.
"Many small LGBTQ+ groups in Evansville have reached out to us and offered to help. We are banding together to create something big – a very positive change for Evansville. We still have lots of outreach left to do, especially among youth, so I expect the response to be heightened in the coming months," says Nick.
LGBTQ+ is based on the following terms: lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning, intersex and asexual people.

Reserves were at $ 15.5bn in early 2017.
Ukraine's foreign exchange reserves rose by $ 170 mn in November, or 0.9%, to the equivalent of 18 905.7 mn dollars.
The National Bank said in a Tuesday release, the dynamics of the volumes was mainly influenced by placement of foreign currency bonds of domestic government loan of 664 mn hryvnia and foreign exchange intervention in the interbank market, net sales of which amounted to 138.9 mn hryvnia.
At the same time, Ukraine has paid 447.1 mn dollars to the International Monetary Fund and sent 358.3 mn dollars on servicing and repayment of public debt. Another 100 mn dollars was channelled to the return of funds that were borrowed from the authorized bank on swap transactions.
As of 1 December, the volume of international reserves covers 3.7 months of future imports.
The NBU reserves were at $ 15.5bn in early 2017.

If you're considering making a foreign exchange transaction, or you're a new or existing customer looking for more information, it's important your read our PDS available online.
*Pricing from 0.50% or less applies to 25 of our major and most popular currencies.
Price match applies if it doesn't result in a loss for us, we'll match it.
Many banks and payment providers frequently claim to offer "fair" and "transparent" pricing, yet the reality is something very different. Our new pricing model aims to provide both new and existing customers with fair, simple and transparent pricing, using 3 clear FX margin bands margins (0.5%, 0.25% and 0.15%) with no hidden fees. With transparent pricing our customers and potential customers can clearly compare WorldFirst to our competitors.
How do we collect this data?
WorldFirst obtain price comparisons from other international payment providers' websites, at specific dates and time using a third-party supplier. The comparison table shows the margin applied by the competition to transfer amounts of AUD 1,000, 10,000 and 50,000 into EUR, USD and GBP.
The margin is the percentage difference between the exchange rate we buy our currency at and the rate at which we sell it to our customers. We at WorldFirst take a smaller margin than most banks and other currency companies, and pass this benefit on to our clients, making all our transfers simpler and more transparent.
For each pricing band we look at the FX margin applied. This is what we use to compare against our fixed bands of (0.50%, 0.25% and 0.15%).
When researching and making comparisons it is important to know if any additional transaction charges will be applied such as payment fees or account management fees. For most customers WorldFirst does not apply additional fees to make payments or to maintain an account with us. If any fees are applicable these will be made clear to you in advance.
3. How do we work out a comparison up to 8 times cheaper than the banks
When we collect data from providers, we do it using different "amounts" such as $1,000, $10,000 and $50,000 where possible. For our data we have focused on the top currency pairs in Australia: GBP to USD/EUR/AUD.
Because the WorldFirst fixed pricing tiers are based on annual volumes transacted by our customers, we have averaged out the margins applied by competitors to transactions of differing amounts in those tiers to calculate an average margin. We take our margins and divide by the average margins of the big 4 banks. This is important, because providers tend to offer better exchange rates and smaller transfer fees when a customer is moving larger sums of money.
What all this means for you
Other money-transfer providers may have variable margins across different currencies, whilst WorldFirst now has fixed margins, agreed ahead of time, making it easier to compare.

Argentina: At a glance
Argentina is a sovereign country in South America, with a total land area of approximately 2,736,690 sq km. In 1816, the United Provinces of the Rio Plata declared their independence from Spain. After Bolivia, Paraguay, and Uruguay went their separate ways, the area that remained became Argentina. The country's population and culture were heavily shaped by immigrants from throughout Europe, with Italy and Spain providing the largest percentage of newcomers from 1860 to 1930. Up until about the mid-20th century, much of Argentina's history was dominated by periods of internal political conflict between Federalists and Unitarians and between civilian and military factions. After World War II, an era of Peronist populism and direct and indirect military interference in subsequent governments was followed by a military junta that took power in 1976. Democracy returned in 1983 after a failed bid to seize the Falkland Islands (Islas Malvinas) by force, and has persisted despite numerous challenges, the most formidable of which was a severe economic crisis in 2001-02 that led to violent public protests and the successive resignations of several presidents. In January 2013, Argentina assumed a nonpermanent seat on the UN Security Council for the 2013-14 term.

 Do squirrels make good pets?
USA Wildlife Removal Education Guide - Do squirrels make good pets?
Everyone has sat at a park or on your own porch and watched a fun loving Squirrel playing chase or burying their latest bit of food. Squirrels are members of the rodent (Rodentia) family that includes rat, mice, prairie dogs and a few hundred other species. They have roamed the earth for more than 50 million years and have learned to coexist with humans. Squirrels prefer nuts, fruits, and seeds, but will get in trash or eat scraps. They like to nest in the upper branches of trees or in hollow trees. Often when we frequently watch the same squirrel playing over and over, we might consider the possibility of making it a pet. Don't be deceived by cute looks- a squirrel is a wild animal. Now you are thinking "what if I get a baby squirrel and raise it?" Make sure it is a commitment you want to make for up to 10 years-the possible life span of the squirrel.
Within the first few months of its life, a young squirrel will grow to accept humans. It will become affectionate and become totally dependent on you for food and shelter. As they mature around 6 months their claws and teeth are fully developed and dangerous. Squirrel's incisors grow about 6' per year. Even the most affectionate squirrel can unintentionally harm you, another pet or your belongings. Squirrels can also be aggressive by nature- during its mating cycles. The squirrel may not know that it's being aggressive or hurting you they simply are not normally a safe animal for domestication from the wild.
Some people take a baby squirrel in and then at 6 months it's time for the squirrel to be reintroduced to outside world. This idea is usually a death sentence for the squirrel. Rehab facilities have trained personnel who know how to raise a baby squirrel and give it to required skills it needs to live in the wild a squirrel cannot survive without these skills, such as foraging for food, dodging predators, marking its own territory and finding a possible mating partner. If you cannot do all these things, then do not force it out into the cold. If you don't want to keep your furry friend any longer, you CAN teach old squirrel new tricks. It is never too late for a rehab facility to take your squirrel and teach it how to survive on its own.

The Alternate-Universe Careers of 5 Celebrities
BY Stacy Conradt
Frank Barratt/Keystone/Getty Images
Although these celebrities could have easily stepped into their family businesses, they decided to look beyond their lineage. But here's what they could have been doing...
1. Vincent Price: Candymaker
He may be best known for his legendary horror movies and voice work, but had Vincent Price followed in his family footsteps, his life would have gone much differently. His grandfather, Dr. Vincent C. Price, invented "Dr. Price's Baking Powder," the first cream of tartar baking powder. Dr. Price made a fortune from his creation, then lost it all in the economic Panic of 1893. But the family interest in food didn't stop there. Price's father, Vincent Leonard Price, Sr., founded the National Candy Company, a St. Louis-based business that supplied sweets and treats to five-and-dime stores across the country.
Vincent Price, Jr. certainly could have stepped up to be an executive in the family business, but knew at a young age that his heart was in acting. However, his foodie lineage never left him entirely. A gourmet chef, Price authored several cookbooks and even hosted his own show, Cooking Price-Wise.
2. Julia Louis-Dreyfus: International Conglomerate CEO
The Veep star doesn't just come from a rich family—she comes from one of the richest families in the world. In 2006, Forbes estimated that Julia's father, Gérard Louis-Dreyfus, was worth approximately $3.4 billion. The family fortune began with Léopold Louis-Dreyfus, a French businessman who founded the Louis Dreyfus Group in 1851 by trading grains with nearby farms. Over time, the company eventually expanded into "a global merchandiser of commodities and processor of agricultural goods," similar to Cargill and Archer Daniels Midland.
3. Carly Simon: Publishing Magnate
You're no doubt familiar with the publishing house Simon & Schuster. Well, Carly Simon's dad made up half of that partnership. The story goes that Richard Simon got the idea to launch the company when his aunt, a New York Times crossword devotee, wondered if there was a book of the puzzles she could purchase to give as a gift. Nothing like that existed, so Simon contacted his friend Max Schuster and made it happen. The crossword puzzle book was a bestseller, and Simon & Schuster went on to become one of the "Big Five" publishers in the U.S.
4. Olivia Newton-John: Academic
Long before singer/actress Olivia Newton-John was getting physical, her grandpa was all-physics. (I'm sorry/you're welcome.) Her maternal grandfather, Max Born, was a Nobel Prize-winning physicist who assisted in the development of quantum mechanics. Later in life, her mother translated a book of letters between Born and Albert Einstein. Newton-John's father was no slouch in the academic department, either: Brinley Newton-John was an MI5 officer during WWII, and later served as the headmaster at Cambridge Boys' Grammar School and a professor at King's College in Cambridge.
Newton-John has admitted that the world of academics never interested her much, but believes she did inherit the family work ethic. "Poor mum, I gave her such a hard time but I'm very grateful to her that she always pushed me to be the best at what I could and work hard, so I've got that in my genes. I just didn't do any studying."
5. Nick Kroll: Private Investigator
For a comedian, Nick Kroll comes from a family with a pretty serious line of work. His father, Jules B. Kroll, founded Kroll, Inc., a corporate investigations and cyber security firm. Though his brother, Jeremy, followed in the family footsteps, Nick knew early on that he wasn't cut out for that particular line of work:
"I worked as an intern at Kroll, Inc. while I was in college in Washington, D.C.," he told Fortune magazine in 2010. "But I was so incompetent at digging up information—it took me two hours to get a phone number of a guy who worked at Johnson & Johnson—that I thought maybe I shouldn't be a private investigator after all."

Neurology > Pain Management
Will FDA Limit Vicodin Rx?
by John Fauber, Reporter, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel/MedPage Today January 23, 2013
Until OxyContin (oxycodone) came along in the mid 1990s, Vicodin (acetaminophen and hydrocodone) was the painkiller most often associated with prescription narcotic abuse.
Celebrities such as Brett Favre and Rush Limbaugh were among those who said they were addicted to the drug.
For years the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has resisted stricter controls on drugs such as Vicodin, which contain a mix of opioid and over-the-counter analgesics.
Less Addictive?
Due to the increase in painkiller abuse and overdoses, the Drug Enforcement Administration once again asked the FDA to consider tightening prescribing and other rules on hydrocodone drugs.
Beginning Thursday, the FDA will conduct a 2-day hearing on whether hydrocodone products should be more highly regulated like other narcotics such as OxyContin and morphine, a shift from schedule III (the current classification for Vicodin) to schedule II.
Historically the agency has not supported stricter controls on hydrocodone, saying that doing so could limit patients' access to pain medicine.
It is a stance that has frustrated doctors who are confronted daily with the widespread abuse of prescription opioids in America.
In a briefing document filed before this week's meeting, FDA researchers said that while chronic pain patients taking hydrocodone products might develop moderate or low physical dependence, they would not be expected to develop addiction.
They concluded that hydrocodone products have lower potential for abuse than oxycodone, the narcotic used in opioids such as Oxycontin and Percocet.
"That's just not true," said Jane Ballantyne, MD, a professor of anesthesiology and pain medicine at the University of Washington. "They really don't have the evidence for that."
It is dangerous to think of it that way and to single out opioids such as hydrocodone for relaxed controls, said Robert DuPont, MD, president of the Institute for Behavior and Health, a nonprofit group working to reduce illegal drug use.
DuPont, a former director of the National Institute on Drug Abuse, co-authored a Jan. 16 letter to the FDA, showing that as sales and use of hydrocodone and other opioids have increased over the years, so too have unintentional overdose deaths and hospital admissions for opioid emergencies.
"It (hydrocodone) is a threat to the public health," he said in an interview.
In his letter to the FDA, DuPont said a lot has been learned about the potency and abuse potential of hydrocodone since it first was classified as a schedule III drug 40 years ago.
"Today, we know that this drug is both potent and highly addictive," he and his co-authors wrote. "Updating the classification of hydrocodone ... would be one of the single most important interventions the federal government could implement to bring this raging epidemic under control."
Waiting for Testimony
Douglas Throckmorton, deputy director of the FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, said the internal analysis done by FDA scientists does not represent the official stance of the FDA.
He said the FDA will not make an official recommendation until taking testimony at the 2-day meeting and getting a recommendation from the advisory panel that scheduled the hearing.
"It's important to give everyone a voice," he said.
At the heart of the controversy is a question that has defied a good answer: Are hydrocodone combination products any less capable of causing addiction and abuse than more strictly controlled opioids such as morphine or oxycodone?
In addition to celebrities, Vicodin has been popular with teenagers. Annual surveys taken over the last decade show that between 8% and 11% of high school seniors have used Vicodin illicitly, compared with about 5% for OxyContin.
One thing is clear: The number of people getting prescriptions for both hydrocodone products and oxycodone products grew throughout the 2000s.
In 2011, 47 million people got a prescription for combination hydrocodone products, compared with 15 million who got a prescription for a combination oxycodone product. Each year, several million people also get prescriptions for single-ingredient oxycodone products. Single-ingredient hydrocodone products are not available in the U.S.
The result: In 2009, the Americans consumed 99% of the 39 tons of hydrocodone used in the world as well as 81% of the 77 tons of oxycodone.
Stricter schedule II status means that fewer prescriptions can be written at one time. For each visit to the doctor a patient can get up to 6 months of prescriptions of schedule III opioids such as Vicodin, versus just 3 months for schedule II drugs. Schedule II drugs also have stricter handling and storage requirements.
But there really are not good data showing that hydrocodone products are less addictive than oxycodone products, said Wilson Compton, MD, division director at the National Institute on Drug Abuse.
Compton said the institute has not taken a stance on whether stricter controls should be put on hydrocodone products. He said it is not a simple decision and the FDA must weigh the abuse potential of the drug against the inconvenience and expense that will result if it is changed to a schedule II.
Fast Buzz?
Many addiction researchers contend that the abuse and addiction potential of an opioid is directly related to how quickly it produces euphoric or pleasant feelings in users.
Research done on drug users shows that there is relatively little difference in how quickly they experience those positive feelings when given hydrocodone, oxycodone and another opioid, hydromorphone.
"The data suggest that the relative potency of these three commonly abused opioids do not differ greatly from one another ...," University of Kentucky researchers wrote in a 2008 paper in the journal Drug and Alcohol Dependence.
A similar finding was reported in a 2009 paper in the same journal in which an oxycodone/acetaminophen product and a hydrocodone/acetaminophen product were tested on volunteers who had a history of drug use.
Most opioids are about the same in their ability to cause abuse, said James Zacny, PhD, a researcher at the University of Chicago and lead author of the 2009 paper.
"From a pharmacology standpoint, I don't think there is a lot of logic to say one is different than the other," he said.
Lynn Webster, MD, president-elect of the American Academy of Pain Medicine, said the issue is complicated and his organization will not be taking an official stand on whether to put stricter controls on hydrocodone.
Webster, a Salt Lake City pain specialist who will speak at the FDA hearing, says his personal experience with opioid abusers suggests they prefer schedule II oxycodone drugs to schedule III hydrocodone drugs, but he acknowledged there is not much good data supporting that belief.
In reality, there probably isn't a great deal of difference between the drugs, he said. And hydrocodone has been the most abused drug in America, he said.
He said if hydrocodone were introduced today as a new drug, it most likely would be schedule II because it produces euphoria in users similar to other schedule II opioids, he said.
Though his organization will not oppose stricter controls on hydrocodone, such a change may cause other problems in delivery and access to care, Webster said.
More nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs may be used, which, in turn, can lead to greater risk of cardiovascular problems, he said.
If greater restrictions are imposed, some doctors may decide to prescribe more methadone, another opioid painkiller. But because many doctors are not well trained in using that drug, there could be more methadone overdoses, he said.
Another possibility, he said, "Docs may choose not to prescribe at all."

COSHOCTON - Hunter Arena is always a popular place on Sunday afternoon at the Coshocton County Fair. That's because hundreds of family members and friends of young exhibitors gather to watch them take to the show rings during the Junior Fair Hog Show.
This year was no different, with about 165 hogs being shown on Sunday.
"I really like showmanship because it shows the judges how hard you worked with your hog. It's an awesome feeling," said Cal Shrimplin, 15, of Warsaw, who placed second in showmanship in the 15 Year Old Class during Sunday's show.
Cal Shrimplin, 15, and his younger brother Camden pose with their hogs before Sunday's show. Cal is a member of the Winner 4-H Club and has been showing hogs for nine years. Seven-year-old Camden said he likes working with the hogs, and he will show during open class on Wednesday. (Photo: Jennifer L. Manfrin/for the Tribune)
Cal, who is a member of the Winner 4-H Club, has been showing hogs for nine years. He raises hogs on his family's farm, and showed a barrow and gilt this years in the showmanship and market categories.
"We raise them from the time they are born, and it's just really awesome to watch them grow and to work with them every day," said Cal, who won reserve champion for his gilt a few years ago. "It gives you a sense of accomplishment to raise them from piglets."
Cal's younger brother Camden, 7, is following in his brother's footsteps, and will be showing a hog in the open class on Wednesday. "Just from watching me, I think he's getting really good at knowing what to do with the hogs. He really takes pride it in," said Cal, and Camden agreed.
"I like washing the hogs, and cleaning the pens. I like helping out," said Camden, who's also eager to show. "I feel like I'm ready."
Exhibitors representing Coshocton County 4-H Clubs and FFA showed their hogs in two rings Sunday, in Hunter Arena. Classes were broken down by age in both the showmanship and market categories. (Photo: Jennifer L. Manfrin/for the Tribune)
Stephanie Snyder said over the past five years as the Coshocton County 4-H hog rep she has seen the young exhibitors work together and grow.
"Some of these kids have been showing for years. To see them stick with it and watch all they've learned when they show at the fair is rewarding," said Snyder, adding that the young exhibitors work together. "They are great about helping the younger kids. We got some really great kids in the hog barn."
During the popular hog show, exhibitors representing Coshocton County 4-H clubs and FFA show their hogs in two separate rings in Hunter Arena. Classes are broken down by age in both showmanship and market categories.
Carrie Hamlett who lives outside of Warsaw was helping her daughters Kaytee and Jayden Rice prepare to show their hogs before the show. "We are all in the barn working every night," said Hamlett. Her daughters also raise and show cattle, she added. "It's all hands on deck every night," she said.
Jayden, 13, and Kaytee Rice, 12, are shown with a hog before Sunday's show. The sisters also raise and show cattle. They said working with the animals, as well as with each other, is a highlight for them. (Photo: Jennifer L. Manfrin/for the Tribune)
Kaytee, 12, and Jayden, 13, are members of the Go Getters 4-H Club. Working with the animals and working together are highlights for the sisters. However, when it comes to the hog show, they said the showmanship category gives them the opportunity to showcase all of their hard work.
"Showmanship is my favorite because the judge isn't just looking at what I raised, but at me as well," said Kaytee.
Jayden agreed. "It's a good feeling being in the ring for showmanship, and doing your best," she said.

A new draft guideline from the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) suggests that Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) should be more widely available to women who experience low mood and anxiety related to the menopause.
Here at my Bexhill practice I see many women with low mood and anxiety associated with the menopause. It is estimated that somewhere in the region of 80 per cent of women experience some symptoms during menopause and these may continue for several years. For one in ten women symptoms can last as long as twelve years.
The new guideline suggests that a combination of hormone replacement therapy and psychological therapies such as CBT can help with low mood. While the guideline does not support other non-pharmaceutical treatments, such as herbalism, there is evidence for the effectiveness of genistein and red clover. However, there are concerns about the safety of these two treatments.
CBT is also effective for menopausal anxiety related to hormonal changes. Psychological symptoms are very common and can impact on personal, social and professional lives. The use of antidepressant medication such as SSRIs/SNRIs is not recommended as a first-line treatment for low mood associated with the menopause, except where women may be experiencing clinical depression. Primarily this is because of adverse side effects and because low mood may be the result of hormonal changes.

Target the right decision makers when you're overwhelmed with leads by harnessing the power of social selling.
They say there's no such thing as too much of a good thing. However, any experienced salesperson knows that you can sometimes find yourself with too many prospects sitting in front of you. The problem is that not all of them are good—in fact, some of your leads may be totally unqualified and unlikely to buy. It's critical to recognize those early.
Social selling strategies can help you to choose the right path by targeting the decision makers and accounts that are most likely to lead to wins. Keep in mind, however, that it's also a mistake to focus in too tightly on any single decision maker, as most purchasing decisions involve several people, and the exact people involved can change without warning.
In the modern sales world, it's a little too easy to become overwhelmed. Often, leads are flying in from all directions—but savvy sales reps know that not all leads are as promising as they sound. And though it may seem that the perfect contact is only a quick click away, without the proper context, it's difficult to know if you're really targeting the right person.
"The modern sales rep is drinking from a fire hose, and it's hard to stay focused when you are drowning," writes Dominic Archibald for LinkedIn's Sales Blog, using watery metaphors to describe this common struggle. "Thanks to the proliferation of Sales and Marketing technology, today's sales rep is swimming in a sea of red herring." The trick is to find strategies that allow you to swim right past the red herring and toward the prize fish.
Fortunately, when it comes to pinpointing the right leads and prospects, LinkedIn and social selling can help tremendously. The ability to zero in on specific people, organized by accounts and connections, is especially useful when it comes to targeting the right decision makers.
LinkedIn also makes it easier to determine the title and rank of each person within an account. Last, but certainly not least, social selling best practices mean that your information is always up-to-date. With better information, you're less likely to be thrown off by recent or unexpected changes in an account you're targeting—such as a change in a specific decision maker's title.
Although it's crucial to build relationships with the right people in the modern sales climate, it's equally important to recognize the perils of establishing only one relationship at a time, in each account. Sales experts often refer to this as the "one-relationship habit," and it can be a dealbreaker for sales reps who tend to zoom in just a little bit too far.
The best solution is multi-threading, or working with multiple decision makers within each target company to reach a consensus sale. According to CEB, typical B2B buying decisions involve, on average, 5.4 decision makers. Keep that statistic in mind as you navigate the often-treacherous waters of modern selling.
For more useful tips on sales and multi-threading, download our eBook on Multiple Lines of Business.
