The First Online Investment Book?
Friday, December 01, 2006
Robin's articles also appear on the Vanguard Website. Some very good advice and observations...
Also in the inbox from Vanguard this week is a new video:
- Why chasing performance is a loser's game
"Though you be swift as the wind, I will beat you in a race", the tortoise harked to the hare. The tortoise proved his doubters wrong, when slow and steady he did win the race. While investing isn't a race, Aesop's fable can teach us a thing or two about investing. Long-term investing isn't about chasing the hottest performance. It's about taking a long-term view and staying the course.
- Secrets of successful investors
More often than not, get rich quick schemes end in tears. Seasoned investors don't get distracted by the latest investment fad or market noise. Instead, they use tried and true investment techniques that work. Investing often, diversifying and keeping an eye on costs and tax are just some of the strategies they use to get ahead...

Financial Planning Business Models and Links
Mark Hebner's Index Fund Advisors, www.ifa.com offers an incredible amount of research and some great modeling of US-based portfolios. No such research is available for Australia yet, but a great future project...
Bloombury Finacial Planning seems to be one of the best UK-based planning firms. Their site, http://www.bloomsburyfp.co.uk/ offers some sound advice in newsletters etc.
In Australia, Kevin Bailey's firm, The Money Managers, http://www.moneymanagers.com.au/ is a leader in fee-only advice and passive investment strategies.
I will post more information over the coming weeks and welcome feedback on my fincial planning business model.

129 Words of Wisdom
'Unified Theory of Everything Financial'
Quietly hidden in Adams' groundbreaking work is a financial formula so simple it rivals Einstein's E=mc2. In its original form Adams' formula was apparently so heretical and so explosive that no major house would touch it when he proposed publishing it as a one-page book. After initial rejections, he announced sadly that "if God materialized on earth and wrote the secret of the universe on one page, he wouldn't be able to find a publisher" either.
Fortunately for America's 95 million investors, Adams' secret nine-point formula was finally revealed in "Dilbert and the Way of the Weasels." Notice its simple brilliance in the exact reproduction of his formula:
- Make a will
- Pay off your credit cards
- Get term life insurance if you have a family to support
- Fund your 401k to the maximum
- Fund your IRA to the maximum
- Buy a house if you want to live in a house and can afford it
- Put six months worth of expenses in a money-market account
- Take whatever money is left over and invest 70% in a stock index fund and 30% in a bond fund through any discount broker and never touch it until retirement
- If any of this confuses you, or you have something special going on (retirement, college planning, tax issues), hire a fee-based financial planner, not one who charges a percentage of your portfolio
Adams boldly states that this is "everything you need to know about personal investing." In just 129 words, nine simple points, one page you have the unabridged "Unified Theory of Everything Financial." That's it. Everything!
Thanks to Adams' formula, the average irrational investor can ignore Wall Street: "Everything else you may want to do with your money is a bad idea compared to what's on my one-page summary. You want an annuity? It's worse. You want a whole life insurance policy? It's worse. You want to invest in individual stocks? It's worse. You want a managed mutual fund instead of an index fund? It's worse. I could go on, but you get the point."...
The truth is, most investors have little or no interest in Wall Street's casino action; all the time-consuming research, the sophisticated stock-picking tricks, the costly trading necessary to play in a market drowning in 10,000 stocks, 18,000 funds and more than 100,000 bonds. Most investors have jobs and kids as their top priority...
Folks, before you dismiss the idea of Adams winning the Nobel Prize in economics, please remember, there is precedent: Back in 2002 the Nobel committee ignored the usual suspects and picked a psychologist. So there's hope that sometime in the future a brilliant humorist can also one-up all the pedigreed pundits in this "dismal science."
Adams predicted that "someday an economist will win the Nobel Prize for discovering the exact dollar-per-weasel equation that explains our world." But it's now obvious that he's already done much more! Adam's formula would eliminate thousands of weasels from Wall Street, vastly improving the efficiency of America's financial markets, while his "Unified Theory" would improve the wealth-building power of all investors.
If you want more information on how you and your kids can win the prize, please read 1989 winner Michael Bishop's "How to Win the Nobel Prize." The good doctor innocently calls himself an "accidental scientist." Also read "The Beginner's Guide to Winning the Nobel Prize" by 1996 winner Peter Doherty, an Australian veterinarian who says the winners come rather unpredictably from "unlikely backgrounds, one-room schoolhouses and concentration camps," yet all have one thing in common, a "fire in the belly."
One final word: Remember that we all live in parallel worlds -- in politics and religion, in art and science, in our dreams and in reality -- where nothing is ever impossible, where you can achieve your wildest dreams, where your investments succeed simply by using simple formulas and by living with "fire-in-your-belly."
In that world, Scott Adams, Dilbert, you and I can all win a Nobel Prize in "Everything Financial!"

Recognition & Identity
Brooks, Pat D.
MetadataShow full item record
Habermas has clearly overshot the important, even prelinguistic, foundation of identity development by focusing on linguistic communication. Honneth locates the right concept in recognition and the "undamaged identities" that it may afford, but offers a crude taxonomy which does little to understand the truly Hegelian struggle as Pippin has rearticulated. Erik Erikson's crises of psychosocial development can be seen as progressive struggles for the necessary forms of social recognition which condition our individual freedom. Any philosophical or psychological work concerning the development of individuals within society must understand the importance of recognition and allow for its development within communicating communities to afford individuals lifelong development and freedom.

Garlic is glorified in many articles on our site, but today I managed to learn something new about this famous product. Turns out, garlic helps to lose weight and is a powerful cancer prevention!
Garlic tincture on alcohol Will help get rid of parasites in the body,Rejuvenate the blood vessels, relieve the excess cholesterol, accelerate the metabolism! But one obligatory rule must be observed to achieve the maximum therapeutic effect ...

- 200 g of purified crushed garlic
- An important point: Before crushing garlic, remove the core from the denticles, if it is rough and noticeable. Young garlic can not be subjected to such a procedure. The core should be removed to protect the infusion, because the old core of garlic can have a bad effect on the work of the gastrointestinal tract.
- Fill the garlic mass with alcohol. Give the mixture to infuse for about 10 days, then strain it and store it in a dark place.
How to take garlic tincture
Divorce 10 drops of garlic tincture in 5 tbsp. L. Cold milk. Drink an elixir of health 20 minutes before a meal. Should be done 2 times a day for 2 weeks, then take a break for 2 weeks and repeat the two-week course again. The effect is incredible!

Reportedly, Japanese actor-composer Ryuichi Sakamoto fainted when he saw this film for the first time.
Laurens van der Post, the author of this film's source novel "The Seed and The Sower", once said of this filmed adaptation of his novel: "This is a great and deeply moving film. The only war film I have ever seen that does not exploit the surface drama and horrifics of war, but penetrates into the origins and meaning of war in the human spirit. Moreover, it is honest and brave, and looks with the same unevasive and unblinking eyes into the character of Japanese and Europeans alike."
This film is notable for the casting of two rocks stars, Ryuichi Sakamoto and David Bowie, respectively, one from the East and one from the West.
From interview with Yûya Uchida and lecture by Nagisa Ôshima: Singer/actor Kenji Sawada was first choice for captain Yonoi. After he suggested David Bowie for Celliers, Sawada dropped out due to his touring schedule. Tomokazu Miura was then considered for Yonoi briefly, before Oshima saw a photograph collection and noted the similar androgyny Ryuichi Sakamoto shared with Sawada. 'Shintaro Katsu', legendary chambara star already causing discord on the set of Akira Kurosawa's Kagemusha (1980), was first choice for Sgt. Hara. Oshima conceived Yonoi in the image of Yukio Mishima. Celliers was fashioned after Peter O'Toole's character in Arabia no Rorensu (1962).
Ryuichi Sakamoto has said of his performance in this film: "I couldn't believe how bad my acting was".
Both characters, Lawrence and Celliers, are based on the author Laurens van der Postwho spoke Japanese and was forced to surrender during a Special Forces mission in Java. Van der Post even used the English version of his given name for one character's family name.

A NSW mother who drove her three daughters into the path of a freight train, with two suffering critical injuries as a result, has been handed a suspended jail sentence.
The woman, who can't be named for legal reasons, had pleaded guilty to two counts of dangerous driving causing grievous bodily harm after the June 2016 crash on the state's mid-north coast.
Judge Roy Ellis on Friday sentenced the single mother to 15 months and 18 months in jail for each child that was critically injured but suspended the sentence given her need to care for them.
One daughter still needs almost constant care due to a brain injury suffered in the accident, the Newcastle District Court heard.

"Talking From the Diaphragm" is BS
Have you ever heard that you should "talk from the diaphragm" for a powerful voice? Well, it's bull hockey. The diaphragm is the major muscle of inhalation, true. But unless there's a neurologic problem, every breath anyone ever takes involves the diaphragm. So you're already using it!
But what about "supporting" your voice from the diaphragm, you ask? Great question! Indeed, we speak on an exhale, not an inhale, but guess what? The diaphragm has no role in controlling our exhale! It therefore has no active role in controlling our voice.
So what do people mean when they make this inaccurate statement? They mean you should engage your abdominal muscles when you talk. You can't actively engage your diaphragm to push air out, but you can actively engage your abs, which is where "breath support" comes from. This means that the volume control button on the human voice instrument is located in the belly!
The short story is that when you inhale, your abdomen moves outward. This is because the diaphragm pushes down on your internal organs, which get displaced. When you exhale, the process reverses itself and the abdominal wall moves inward. When we speak, we engage these abdominal muscles to varying degrees in order to control the sound we create.
If you're one of the many folks who breathes in the opposite way (when you inhale your chest lifts and your belly moves in), you could get a lot more mileage out of your voice by working with a coach.
So the next time someone tells you to use your diaphragm when you talk, you can take a belly breath and know you have it down.

Hanging with the hipsters
Melissa and I had a lovely day out on Sunday hob nobbing with the hipsters at the free Blonde Redhead gig at McCarron Park Pool in Brooklyn.
McCarron Park Pool is a giant empty public swimming pool in Greenpoint, supposedly one of the largest pools in the world - the size of three Olympic pools - which, in its day, boasted a capacity of 6,800 simultaneous swimmers according to this article on Freewilliamsburg.com. 6,800!!! Can you IMAGINE!!! I can attest to the size of it, it's bloody enormous!!! It must have been hell to clean.
After falling into disrepair the pool was closed in the mid eighties and was pretty much left to rot due to lack finances to repair it, that is until the last couple of years when it found a new lease on life as an outdoor performance venue gaining recognition for the phenomenally popular pool parties each Sunday in summer.
It had been on my list of places to check out, but I always found myself in a bit of a dilemma about going since, being on the fairer side, I didn't want to be stuck in what seemed to be such a suntrap for hours and end up frazzling my bits off, however Melissa twisted my arm this weekend and wow, am I glad she did.
Words fail me at expressing what an amazing music venue McCarron Park Pool is, hard to believe I know. Telling people I spent my Sunday afternoon standing in a giant abandoned swimming pool in Brooklyn listening to live music earned me a few funny looks from my co-workers today. I'll admit, it doesn't sound like an especially fun thing to do, but it's fan-bloody-tastic. It has an amazing atmosphere, very chilled out and despite the 80F temperatures it was pleasantly breezy and cool. Not a snifter of a sunburn. It's easily one of the best concert venues I've ever been to...and Blonde Redhead - one of my fave bands - weren't half bad either :-)
Alas I've heard 2007 is the last year for the pool parties. Renovations are coming and they are going to spend trillions turning it into a leisure facility. Great for the community, but I shall miss it as a venue. I'm just glad I got to go. I highly recommend it if you ever get the chance to go!!

Last night's Sleater-Kinney show at the 9:30 club was the most fun show I've seen all year. Granted, that's not saying much, but the evening was a blast anyway. Reasons why:
- 9:30 is one of the best places I know to see a show. The room holds about 1200 people but still manages to feel intimate. And the acoustics are great.
- The Sleater-Kinney girls know how to put on a show. It was high-energy from the get-go, and they kept it up all the way through the second encore. Highlights included "Modern Girl" and "Little Babies." Sleater-Kinney is the inspiration for a thousand terrible, indie rock girl bands. They're so good. Better live than on cd.
- The crowd was way into it. This is Sleater-Kinney's "indefinite hiatus" tour (they don't want to call it a breakup. Whatever. It's a breakup.), so all their #1 superfans were there. Lots of dancing and singing along in a way that was fun, not annoying.
- I got to see them before they broke up. And they are breaking up. Great essay on it here.
- I finally got to see Sleater-Kinney. I've been wanting to see them For Awhile, but stuff always kept happening. Like, they'd come to Austin when I was in the Congo. Or, they cancelled their ACL set last year to open for Pearl Jam on their Canadian tour. Whatever.
All in all, a great evening and a great way to get ready for this weekend's music!!!

Keeper is a Zero Knowledge security provider. Zero Knowledge is a system architecture that guarantees the highest levels of security and privacy by adhering to the following principles:
Data is encrypted and decrypted at the device level (not on the server)
The application never stores plain text (human readable) data
The server never receives data in plain text
No Keeper employee or 3rd party can view the unencrypted data
The keys to decrypt and encrypt data are derived from the user's master password
Multi-Layer encryption provides access control at the user, group and admin level
Sharing of data uses Public Key Cryptography for secure key distribution
Data is encrypted locally on the user's device before it is transmitted and stored in Keeper's Cloud Security Vault. When data is synchronized to another device, the data remains encrypted until it is decrypted on the other device.
Keeper is the most secure, certified, tested and audited password security platform in the world. We are the only SOC 2 and ISO 27001 certified password management solution in the industry and Privacy Shield Compliant with the U.S. Department of Commerce's EU-U.S. Privacy Shield program, meeting the European Commission's Directive on Data Protection. Not only do we implement the most secure levels of encryption, we also adhere to very strict internal practices that are continually audited by third parties to help ensure that we continue to develop secure software and provide the world's most secure cybersecurity platform.
When users create their account profile, they are required to select a "Master Password". Users are also able to configure a second factor of authentication using SMS, TOTP, Duo Security, RSA SecurID or SmartWatch.
If the user is authenticated via Keeper SSO Connect (integration with SAML 2.0 identity provider), the Master Password is auto-generated by the SSO Connect software (hosted and operated by the Enterprise customer on-premise).
The Master Password is used to derive an encryption key on the client device using a Password Based Key Derivation Function (PBKDF2) with 100,000 rounds.
On the client device, a 256-bit AES "Data Key" and "Client Key" are generated, as well as 2048-bit RSA Private Key and Public Key pair.
The "Data Key" is used to encrypt data that is synchronized to the Cloud Security Vault. The "Data Key" is encrypted with the "Master Password Key" (derived from the Master Password) and this ciphertext is stored in the Cloud Security Vault.
The "Client Key" is used to encrypt data that is stored locally on the user's device. The "Client Key" is encrypted with the "Data Key" and this ciphertext is stored in the Cloud Security Vault. The "Client Key" is also encrypted with the "Master Password Key" and this ciphertext is stored locally on the device for offline use. Offline mode can be controlled by the Enterprise administrator.
The vault data stored offline is AES-GCM encrypted with a 256-bit "Client Key" that is generated randomly and protected by PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA512 with up to 100,000 iterations and a random salt. The salt and iterations are stored locally. When the user enters their Master Password, a key is derived using the salt and iterations and an attempt is made to decrypt the Client Key. The Client Key is then used to decrypt the stored record cache.
The "RSA Public Key" is stored directly to the Cloud Security Vault.
The "RSA Private Key" is encrypted with the "Data Key" and the ciphertext is stored in the Cloud Security Vault.
For each record (e.g. Website Password or File) that is created, a 256-bit AES "Record Key" is generated on the client device. The "Record Key" is used to encrypt and decrypt the record content. The "Record Key" is encrypted with the user's "Data Key" and the ciphertext is stored in the Cloud Security Vault. The Record Key and record data is also encrypted with the "Client Key" and the ciphertext is stored locally on the device.
When a user logs into a device (with their master password), they first decrypt their Client Key from the Master Password-derived key.
The Client Key is used to decrypt all locally stored data on the device.
The data key retrieved locally or retrieved from the Cloud Security Vault upon successful authentication is decrypted with the user's Master Password derived key.
Record Key ciphertext is synchronized from the Cloud Security Vault then decrypted locally with the user's Data Key. Shared Folder keys are decrypted with the respective Shared Folder Key from each folder. Record content is decrypted with the respective Record Key from each record. Record Keys and content are then encrypted with the client key and stored locally.
To share a Keeper Record to another user, Keeper first requests the user's RSA Public Key from the Cloud Security Vault.
The Record Key of each record is encrypted with the recipient's RSA Public Key and synchronized to the user's Keeper vault via the Cloud Security Vault.
The recipient of the encrypted shared record decrypts the Record Key with their RSA Private Key. For optimization, the Record Key will be re-encrypted with the user's Data Key (since AES encryption is faster than RSA encryption) and the ciphertext is stored in the recipient's Cloud Security Vault.
For subsequent record retrievals, the recipient decrypts the Record Key with their Data Key, and then decrypts the record content with the Record Key.
The Keeper Cloud Security Vault is protected by an API which authenticates each request from the client device. On the client device, a 256-bit "Authentication Key" is derived from the Master Password using PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA256 and a random salt. An "Authentication Hash" is generated by hashing the "Authentication Key" using SHA-256. To login, the Authentication Hash is compared against a stored Authentication Hash on the Cloud Security Vault. After login, a session token is generated and used by the client device for subsequent requests. This authentication token must be renewed every 30 minutes, or upon the request of the server.
KSI supports 256-bit and 128-bit TLS to encrypt all data transport between the client application and KSI's cloud-based storage. This is the same level of encryption trusted by millions of individuals and businesses everyday for web transactions requiring security, such as online banking, online shopping, trading stocks, accessing medical information and filing tax returns. KSI deploys TLS certificates signed by Digicert using the SHA2 algorithm, the most secure signature algorithm currently offered by commercial certificate authorities. SHA2 is significantly more secure than the more widely used SHA1, which could be exploited due to mathematical weakness identified in the algorithm. SHA2 helps protect against the issuance of counterfeit certificates that could be used by an attacker to impersonate a website. KSI also supports Certificate Transparency (CT), a new initiative by Google to create a publicly auditable record of certificates signed by certificate authorities. CT helps guard against issuance of certificates by unauthorized entities. CT is currently supported in the latest versions of the Chrome web browser. More information about Certificate Transparency can be found at: http://www.certificate-transparency.org/. Keeper supports the following TLS cipher suites:
Keeper client devices also implement Key Pinning, a security mechanism which prevents impersonation by attackers using fraudulent digital certificates.
To protect against unauthorized access to a customer's account, Keeper also offers Two-Factor Authentication. Two-Factor authentication is an approach to authentication requiring two or more of the three authentication factors: a knowledge factor, a possession factor, and an inherence factor. For more information on Two-Factor Authentication see this link. Keeper uses something you know (your password) and something you have (the phone in your possession) to provide users extra security in the case where your master password or device is compromised. To do this, we generate TOTPs (Time-based One-Time Passwords). Keeper generates a 10-byte secret key using a cryptographically secure random number generator. This code is valid for about a minute, and is sent to the user by SMS, Duo Security, RSA SecurID, TOTP application, Google Authenticator or Keeper DNA-compatible wearable devices. When using the Google Authenticator or TOTP application on your mobile device, the Keeper server internally generates a QR code containing your secret key, and it is never communicated to a third party. Each time a user deactivates, then reactivates Two-Factor Authentication, a new secret key is generated. To activate Two-Factor Authentication, visit the Keeper DNA or Settings screen of the Keeper Web App. Keeper Business customers can optionally enforce the use of Two-Factor Authentication and supported 2FA methods via the Keeper Admin Console's role enforcement functionality.
Keeper supports FIDO-compatible U2F hardware-based security key devices such as YubiKey and Google Titan keys as a second factor. Security keys provide a convenient and secure way to perform two-factor authentication without requiring the user to manually enter 6-digit codes. Multiple security keys can be configured for a user's vault. For platforms that do not support security key devices, users may fall back to other configured 2FA methods. To configure a security key and other two-factor authentication methods, visit the 'Settings' screen of the Keeper application.
Keeper operates a self-contained managed service architecture on Amazon AWS called BreachWatch which is physically separate from the Keeper Backend API and stored user data.
On the BreachWatch servers, a physical Hardware Security Module (HSM) is used to process, hash and store billions of unique passwords from dark web data breaches. Each of these billions of passwords is processed on Keeper's servers using HMAC_SHA512 hashing method, hashed with a Hardware Security Module using a non-exportable key.
On the Keeper end-user client device, when BreachWatch is activated, a HMAC_SHA512 hash is generated based on each stored password and sent to the server. On the server, a second hash is created using HMAC_SHA512 via the Hardware Security Module (HSM) using a non-exportable key. Hashes are compared to determine if a password has been breached.
BreachWatch backend architecture was built to prevent correlation of a breached password to an actual password in the user's vault, no matter the size of the data breach. The hashing used in the breached password detection utilizes a physical Hardware Security Module to ensure that hashing can only be performed online - to prevent any threat of brute force attack on the BreachWatch data.
The below system diagram outlines the overall data flow, encryption and BreachWatch hash processing workflows.

Than Koka Moka is the bar for you! The folks at Pro Bar mean it when they call it a meal. This Probar weighs in at a solid three ounces of fruits, nuts, and seeds with enough nutrition to make a fresh, tasty, satisfying meal replacement. It's rich in raw ingredients and the right nutrient-dense calories for lasting energy and nourishment.
Koka Moka is:
- A delicious meal replacement
- Made without coffee or caffeine
- Good source of Omega 3 and Omega 6
- Rich in Raw food -- 70% Raw
- 8-12g of plant based protein
- Certified Organic and 100% Vegan
This is where award-winning whole food meal replacement started! Delectable combinations of 15 whole foods including grains, chunky nuts, and delicious fruit in 8 flavors that will satisfy. With the Original Collection, you'll find the incomparable recipes that continue to win rave reviews from critics and customers alike.Pro Bar Questions & AnswersWhy does the Original Collection Pro Bar satisfy my hunger better than other bars?The 15 whole foods found in the Original Collection Pro Bar formula is the reason your hunger is curbed for hours after eating. Nothing beats whole foods for providing broad-spectrum nutrition. Chemically drived vitamins, found in other bars, do not supply everything found in whole foods. Nutrition science is consistently uncovering more and more components in our foods that are critical for good health. The 15 whole foods guaranteed in each Original Collection Pro Bar are also about 70% raw. This means you get optimal nutrient quality, undestroyed by processing. This nutrition simply cannot be duplicated with any existing technology.How does the Original Collection Pro Bar work as a meal replacement?The superb nutrition load, found in the Original Collection Pro Bar, satisfies the body's nutrition requirements better than any other bar available. Once again this goes a long way in satisfying hunger pangs. It frees us from the cravings that drive us to overeat. Great news for dieters! This is also the reason why our customers keep coming back - once they try it, the body keeps saying "yes" to the incredible nutrition.Why is the Original Collection Pro Bar blended and not baked?The Original Collection is made with real food that you can see. It is blended together rather than chopped up, pureed, and baked. By doing this we preserve the nutritional integrity of all natural ingredients so your body received the maximum value it deserves.Are there peanuts in the Original Collection Pro Bar?All of the Original Collection flavors contain peanuts and other nuts except the Whole Berry Blast bar. The Whole Berry Blast bar contains cashew butter instead of peanut butter. Although the Whole Berry Blast bar is produced in the same production facility as other flavors we maintain a rigorous sanitary process in the production of this bar.How does the Original Collection Pro Bar deliver its carbohydrates?The whole grains & naturally dried fruits found in the Original Collection are carefully blended with low glycemic index grain sweeteners. This combination of simple and complex carbs immediately boosts blood sugar, while fiber loaded whole grains and fruits maintain these levels for hours.Why does the Original Collection Pro Bar require less hydration when eaten than other bars?The Pro Bar is lower in protein and sodium than most bars. Processing protein requires a lot of water. When ammonia and urea are produced in the processing of protein, the body uses H2O to dilute and eliminate these toxins.How does the Original Collection Pro Bar achieve such excellent shelf life without preservatives?Dried fruits, nuts, seeds, rolled grains, and grain sweeteners all have a naturally long shelf life and don't require the addition of chemical preservatives. Chemical preservatives also tend to taste like chemicals, yuck!Why is the sugar content in the Original Collection Pro Bar higher than some other bars?The sugar content in the Original Collection Pro Bar is balanced for blood sugar regulation and optimal energy. Simple carbohydrates from organic brown rice and barley malt syrups along with dried fruits bring blood sugar levels up quickly without severely spiking insulin. These simple forms of sugar are indicated on the sugar line in the nutrition panel and are mistakenly compared to table sugar and HFCS (high fructose corn syrup). Complex carbohydrates along with fiber and other important nutrients are found in teh rolled grains and support long term blood sugar regulation. Fiber also buffers the simple carbohydrates assisting them in a slower absorption. These are the reasons the the Original Collection Pro Bar is such an effective tool for managing blood sugar.What is the difference between refined sugar and evaporated cane juice?Refined sugar is cooked and becomes acidic. Evaporated cane juice is simply air dried. The nutrients are better preserved when they are not exposed to heat.Why is the Original Collection Pro Bar more expensive than other bars?The Original Collection Pro Bar is made with premium, whole food ingredients and weighs a whopping 3 ounces. It is also made from high quality, real food ingredients. No fillers. No fluff.Why is the Original Collection Pro Bar lower in protein than other bars?The Original Collection Pro Bar does not include any added protein powders or protein isolates that can be found in other bars. Protein happens to be the body's last choice for fuel with carbohydrates being the undisputed first pick. Fat is a distant second. When the body is forced to use protein for fuel it results in toxicity. The amino acid chains in protein must be removed, liberating the calories for use as fuel. This process, called de-amination, results in the production of ammonia, and urea. This process is not only toxic, but is also very inefficient when compared to the simple assimilation of carbohydrates. High protein can equate to lower energy levels when compared to carbohydrates.Why is the Original Collection Pro Bar higher in fats than other bars?During extended periods of moderate level exercise (endurance sports), the body conserves vital carbohydrates by metabolizing fats at a more rapid rate than carbs. If the body becomes depleted of carbs it "hits the wall". Muscle simply cannot function without the presence of carbohydrates. The Original Collection Pro Bar supplies a broad spectrum of healthy fats: poly and mono unsaturates, saturates (yes the body actually requires certain saturated fats), and EFAs (essential fatty acids more commonly referred to as omega essential fatty acids). Endurance athletes commonly deplete their bodies of these critical nutrients, several of which are not commonly found in foods. Because the Original Collection Pro Bar supplies these in abundance, it is not only an excellent tool for use during competition and training, but is also ideal for recovery application.For the non-athlete, these fats translate into exquisite nutrition, providing one third of the bodies daily requirements for fats in every bar. The key here is to provide the balance of fats from all of the different categories required by the body, while eliminating all of the unhealthy trans and hydrogenated fats. If any of the fats required by the body are missing, the body lets us know by giving us relentless cravings. This means that if we do not consume all of the different fats required by the body, we will crave everything that is fatty! Supply the fats and end the cravings! When we avoid these cravings, weight management becomes much easier!About Pro BarThe beginnings of our company had to do with the fact that a product didn't exist, so someone needed to make it. In Snowbird, Utah in the late 1990s, on-the-go energy products still lived in the world of "engineered ultra-power-foods", with science fiction-esque sounding ingredients. Pro Bar founders were up there, working as little and playing as often as they could. Besides being mountain junkies, they knew a thing or two about real, whole food. They knew the power of raw ingredients and started to experiment with healthy, vegan snack creations. Soon, their friends and then the town of Snowbird were Pro Bar people. A hunger-destroying bar that's made from pure nutritional goodness, with no chemical additives-it's no surprise the locals were among Pro Bar's first hardcore fans. The buzz was contagious. After hitting the mountain hard, people were recharging with Pro Bar. We had a local test kitchen, and were off and running.
Our company's goal is to change how the world thinks when it comes to real, whole food. Pro Bar products are proof that a food maker can wholeheartedly commit to quality, sustainability-and sheer deliciousness. Part of the Simply Real promise is sourcing the finest all-natural, 100% vegan organic ingredients from growers who believe in these things as well. As you check out our products, they all have one thing in common: they started with only the best raw ingredients. The reason for their success is simple - Integrity. Compared to other bars, Pro Bar tastes better and contains high quality ingredients. From the beginning, Pro Bar has remained committed to convenient, natural, high-performance nutrition. Pro Bar has never strayed from the integrity of their original recipes.

1920's era Westinghouse fan restoration!
This 1920's era Westinghouse fan restoration was a labor of love for sure.
The fan came in non functional, with a dull finish, and fully painted black. After a full dismantle and assessment of all of the parts we determined that repair & restoration would be successful. Next we refinished all of the individual parts, re-insulated all of the electrical parts, and cleaned up all of the electrical connections.
We assembled the fan with as many of the original parts as possible including the power cord in order to maintain the look of the era. When completed the fan worked beautifully.

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- "Transparent" emerged as an early winner at Sunday's Emmy Awards, capturing a best comedy actor trophy for Jeffrey Tambor and a directing award for its creator, and giving both winners a chance to pay tribute to the show's transgender themes.
"I'd like to dedicate my performance and this award to the transgender community. ... Thanks for letting us be part of the change," said Tambor, who plays a man journeying toward womanhood.
Jill Soloway, who based the series on her own father's story, used her directing trophy acceptance speech to ask for equal rights for transgender individuals.
"It is legal in the majority of U.S. states to refuse to rent to trans people," she said, saying the country has a civil rights problem that must be addressed.
The Emmys didn't give up their fondness for choosing the familiar over the groundbreaking.
Past winners won again, including Julia Louis-Dreyfus, honored as best lead comedy actress for "Veep" for the fourth time. Allison Janney of "Mom" and Tony Hale of "Veep" were repeat winners for supporting comedy acting honors.
Regina King won the trophy for best actress in a limited series or movie for "American Crime."
Host Andy Samberg took note of what he called the most diverse group of nominees in Emmy history. They include Viola Davis and Taraji P. Henson, who could have became the first non-white winner in the best drama series actress category.
"Game of Thrones," this year's top nominee overall, could have made a notable showing with a best drama victory: It would become the second fantasy or sci-fi show to get the award, following "Lost" in 2005.
Making a last stand are star Jon Hamm, whose portrayal of troubled ad man Don Draper has been nominated for each of the drama's eight seasons, along with best actress nominee Elisabeth Moss and supporting actress contender Christina Hendricks.

Every last detail of the Hillsborough story breaks my heart – as a police officer; as a lifelong Liverpool supporter; as a human being.
As a human catastrophe, it is amongst the most vivid and terrible of my lifetime – in this country at least. It is the story of ninety-six people who went to see a football match and didn't come home. It is the story of hundreds more who were injured; of thousands more who were there. And it is the story of a group of families faced with a kind of grief – drawn out over decades – that is beyond the experience or imagining of most of us.
As a British policing catastrophe, it is right down there amongst the worst of them. The headlines of recent days offer deeply uncomfortable reading for any police officer: evidence of individual deception and institutional collusion – compounded over years and perpetuated by the very people who are supposed to protect us. It is no wonder that even good people begin to doubt us.
Society has every right to expect higher standards of police officers than they do of anyone else. That is because of the promise each of us made – to serve without fear or favour – and the powers each of us has been given. Where we betray that promise or abuse those powers, it is absolutely right that we are held to account. No right thinking Copper would argue otherwise.
But there's another reason why Hillsborough breaks my heart – and that is the impact it has had (and will continue to have) for every good police officer in this country.
There are tens of thousands of them – and they have been dragged into the mire by the reported actions of their colleagues.
I don't doubt that there were good police officers on duty that fateful Sheffield afternoon – people who remain haunted by what happened there. And I don't doubt that there are good police officers on duty in South Yorkshire today.
It was only last month that a Sheffield PC came within moments and millimetres of losing her life as she confronted an axe wielding maniac. She was there because she had answered a call for help from a member of the public. And she is a hero of our time.
Policing finds itself in a deeply difficult place.
There can be no avoiding the sins of the past – and, indeed, those of the present – and there can be no avoiding the urgent need to confront them head on.
But, as we acknowledge these painful realities, we need also to remember the officers who are out there right now: saving lives, finding the lost, protecting the vulnerable, confronting the violent, pursuing the dangerous.
Because the best of them are the best of us all.

Barbeques were never more stylish – BBQ Passion: as individual as new barbeque culinary art itself
Press release • Feb 11, 2016 11:00 GMT
It is not all that long since a BBQ consisted of little more than simply grilled sausages. Today, however, the BBQ has become a playground for new culinary specialities – all over the world. The options are endless, ranging from USA-inspired pulled pork, grilled at a low temperature for hours and now found enriching the street markets of every city, to Brazilian or South American BBQs with their focus on meat, to sophisticated creations involving fish and vegetables. Even fruit appears on the grill. With so many possibilities, a simple dinner plate is no longer enough. Villeroy & Boch has therefore rethought the design-side of BBQs and developed the BBQ Passion collection, providing high-quality tableware suitable for absolutely every kind of BBQ enjoyment.
Even more intelligent BBQ innovations
For 2016 the existing BBQ Passion range is being extended to include a generous fish plate, a vegetable plate and a bowl for BBQ potatoes, catering for the growing number of health-oriented gourmets and vegetarians. A new highlight is a cooling and heating board. The board itself consists of high-quality acacia wood. An appropriately sized ceramic cover plate of Premium Porcelain is heated or cooled as desired and placed on the platter. Hot food thus stays warm for longer and cold food remains chilled– wonderfully practical!
Professionally served: the BBQ Passion speciality plates
BBQ Passion also offers steak plates in the sizes XL, L and M with separate areas for barbeque sauces, dips or accompaniments, and a dessert plate. All the plates feature an integrated grip making them particularly easy to carry around the garden or the terrace. The long plates with separate areas for sauce or accompaniments and the large meat platter are designed with ridges to allow meat juices to drain away. This allows the carved meat to remain moist without getting soggy. The sausage plate with its separate area for mustard enables grilled sausages to be eaten in style even while standing. The collection is completed by a condiment dish with three divisions, a little grill pan, a wooden carrier for standard-size sauce bottles, and a dip bowl, four of which can be arranged in a wooden holder to create a tray stand.
Product information:
- Premium Porcelain
- dishwasher proof
- acacia wood

Medical device theft at SSM Health puts data on 836 patients at risk
A medical device that records physiological data was stolen on April 12 from SSM Health Orthopedics, which operates out of SSM Health-owned DePaul Hospital in St. Louis, potentially affecting the data of 836 patients
The organization said the medical device, which looks similar to a laptop computer, contained in its memory some physiological data as well as protected health information from patients who participated in a study between 2002 and 2017. The organization notified the patients that some of their protected health information has been compromised.
These patients had one of two electro diagnostic studies, called EMG or NCS, and the electromyography medical device recorded electrical activity in muscle tissue to assess health of the muscles and corresponding nerve cells. Compromised information included first and last names, dates of birth, medical record numbers and chief complaints. No financial, address, phone or Social Security information was compromised. SSM Health privacy specialist Mackenzie Schlotz said in a letter sent to patients that the organization does not believe patients are at risk for identity theft based on the limited data on the device.
Also See: Organizations reporting breaches quicker to federal agencies
"It is likely that the purpose of the theft was to steal the medical device, which resembles a laptop computer, and not health information," Schlotz added. "There is no evidence to suggest that the limited health information contained on the medical device has been misused in any manner."
SSM Health has instituted new controls, and will conduct further training of staff and management on the handling of patient information.
The organization has two previous major data breaches listed on the HHS Office for Civil Rights breach web site. In October 2013, the theft of a laptop at Janesville Hospital in Wisconsin affected 631 patients. In October 2015, an unauthorized access to paper or films at SSM Health Cancer Care in Missouri affected 643 patients.
SSM Health declined to provide more information on the most recent incident, although it did corroborate the information it sent out to affected patients by letter.

2 local women nearly lose thousands in gift card scams
Nate Eaton, EastIdahoNews.com
Published at | Updated at
REXBURG — Two different women, two different scams, two close calls.
Rexburg Police are issuing a warning after they were called to investigate two potential fraud causes this week.
On Monday, a 74-year-old woman from Driggs drove to Walgreens in Rexburg with $1,800 cash and tried to buy gift cards because of a phone call she had received.
"A man called and said he was a Teton County Sheriff deputy. He said she had missed jury duty and was going to jail but he could help her if she got these gift cards," Rexburg Police Capt. Randy Lewis says. "So she drove on down to Rexburg and tried to get these cards."
Walgreens employees told the woman it was likely a scam but she didn't believe them and left the store to buy the gift cards elsewhere.
The workers called police and officers were able to stop the woman in her vehicle nearby before she lost her money.
"She was hesitant. She thought she was going to jail but we told her it was a scam and helped her out. Things ended well," Lewis says.
The next day, on Sept. 11, a 71-year-old woman walked into the same Walgreens and tried to buy $2,000 of gift cards. She had received a phone call from someone claiming to be technical support.
"He said his name was Jerry and that he needed the money to help her," Lewis says. "We responded to the store and told the woman that this was a scam."
Investigators learned the woman had already wired $10,000 from her bank account to the scammer but she was able to contact the bank and stop the transfer before losing the money.
Police say scammers often target the elderly because they can be easy victims. Another woman recently told officers she has been paying $300 a month for computer technical support and it's likely a scam, according to Lewis.
"We don't want anybody else falling victim to these," he says. "If you get these type of calls, contact family members or neighbors that you know and let them know what's going on before giving out any information. And never give personal information over the phone – bank account numbers, social security numbers – all that is an indicator that it's a fraud."
If a scammer calls, here's what to do:
- Know the common signs of a scam. Scammers typically ask for payment to be made by untraditional means, such as by paying at a store which has MoneyGram or Western Union service. Others request payment by requesting the purchase of pre-paid gift cards and ask for the numbers on the card.
- If you're just not sure whether the call is a scam, ask questions such as asking for the billing office phone number and tell the caller you will call them back. Then verify the number is correct by checking your billing statement or looking it up online.
- If you're fairly certain the call is a scam, hang up and block the phone number from calling you again.
- Report phone scams to the Federal Trade Commission online at ftccomplaintassistant.gov or by phone at 1-877-382-4357.
- Make sure your phone number is on the National Do Not Call Registry at donotcall.gov. This is a free service. Calling lists are a common way for scammers to get phone numbers.

Have you ever watched Fixer Upper on HGTV and thought "I can definitely do that. It looks easy!?" Well my guess is you're not the only one.
Having done a complete renovation of a home a couple years ago, I can tell you that what you see on HGTV is just a little different in real life. Secretly, I think I'm Chip Gaines, but who doesn't? Redoing houses to me is incredibly exciting. But what HGTV doesn't really show is how much work is involved. In 1 hour they manage to knock down a wall (or 2 or 3), take out all the kitchen cabinets, redo all the flooring, replace cabinets, clean everything, and much more.
The time it takes is obviously much much longer, but they are in show biz so they can't show you all the nitty gritty because who wants to see that?
So here are a few things to consider when looking at doing your own home renovation:
- You do have to clean up the mess you make! Ever wonder where all the dust goes? It's amazing that they manage to knock down half the walls in the house, take out cabinets and do new sheetrock in places, no one ever seems to have that much dust on them. I just wish I had the same clean up crew they had.
- It will take longer than you think! And with 3-4 guys working on average it took 3 months. I did some of the work and hired the rest out. Make sure and plan for things to come up that you don't expect or see coming. There will be something.
- Hire an expert! I can't stress this enough. No matter how many times you've watched shows on HGTV or DIY Network, there are some things that you must get an expert opinion on. Plumbing and electrical mistakes can cost thousands down the road if not done properly. So make sure you get help in those areas.
- Take your time! I've learned in life that there's no reason to rush things. Typically when you do, things go poorly. In home renovations, nothing could be more true. I know you can't wait to get the project done and your husband/wife/significant other/kids/pets/etc. are driving you nuts about when it will be done, but just be patient and take your time. Costly things will almost certainly happen if you rush.
So can you do a home renovation project on your own? Sure! Is it going to be hard and take time? Absolutely! But in the end, I believe it will be well worth your time and you'll be glad that you were able to put your personal touch on your own fixer upper.

This evening I attended an interesting discussion with my teaching colleagues where we, once again, got into the hot topic of how "students these days are so different from when we were in college." I am beginning to think that this is the same urban legend as, "when we went to school we had to walk up hill in two feet of snow."
If students are not engaged in class lessons, who is responsible, teacher or student? It is my belief that it is the teacher who is responsible for engaging the student in a way that is appropriate for where the student "is at". Meaning, you have to adjust your teaching techniques to how students prefer to learn. Perhaps, once you reach them, you can introduce them to other ways of learning and even teach them to be teachers - which is my secret agenda.
Ultimately, you can't teach them if you can't reach them. What I do know is that pure lecturing, without asking questions and or offering listening, does not work.

About this book
Minority special status arrangements figure prominently in efforts to articulate universality with territorialized difference in many parts of the world. Yet much of what has been written about this important modality of the asymmetrical state has focused exclusively on the liberal democratic West. This book extends the analysis. It offers a structured-focused comparison of the experience of the People s Republic of China, France, and Spain. Case studies on central Tibet, Hong Kong, Corsica, and Catalonia are used to identify the conditions that affect the degree to which special status arrangements enhance stability while improving the citizenship of both minority territorial communities and their more vulnerable residents.

Because she says so and, when you get invited to The White House to have a little face to face time with First Lady Michelle Obama, you probably just go ahead and do what she says.
But, let me back this story train up a little bit.
A few weeks ago I received hands down the most awesomely, exciting invitation of my lifetime.
Thanks to my work with Babble, they were inviting me to visit The White House for an event with the first lady.
Yuuuup, THAT first lady!
Once I got my heart rate under control and iced my ankle after I twisted it trying to cartwheel in my dining room, I RSVPd like nobody's business.
Because going to the White House is a huge deal, especially when the sitting First Lady is going to be there to speak to you.
And, keeping it real, I am a huge fan of the Obama Family.
I think they have made the presidency and politics in general attractive and interesting to younger generations of people, I think they have made politics accessible to previously disenfranchised and underrepresented members of our nation, and I think they are a wonderful set of role models for American families in terms of being a healthy, loving, connected set of individuals.
That being said, I particularly love the things that Michelle Obama has been working on since becoming a resident in The White House, specifically as it applies to helping to make American children healthier.
Which is what myself and the other 100 or so women brought in to enjoy a morning with her and other members of the team that has worked on her Let's Move initiatives were there to learn about.
For those unfamiliar, Let's Move is Michelle Obama's initiative designed to ensure that the nation's children are educated about and have access to healthy food options. She is passionate about it because obesity is such an epidemic, and she is familiar with it because she shared her own struggles to help her children maintain a healthy lifestyle as a busy mom with so much on her plate –a struggle so many of us can easily relate to.
I love that her program seeks to support good parents eager to do the right thing, and I am excited because it has already done so much.
Since it's inception, the Let's Move program has…
- encouraged 17,000 schools to join the Let's Move Active Kids program to commit to providing their students with 60 minutes of daily physical activity.
- installed over 4,000 salad bars inside of school cafeterias.
- implemented the Smart Snacks rule requiring that all snack sold in school during the school day need to meet specific nutrition standards, including snacks sold a la carte, in the school store, and vending machines.
The efforts of the program also involve revising school breakfast and lunch programs, providing guidance for community based programs that reach kids, and truly changing the way American children view food, nutrition, and healthy living.
One such program is their newest campaign, FNV, aimed at marketing a healthy lifestyle and eating fruits and veggies to kids.
I know, marketing to kids feels weird, but you know what? It happens daily, both directly and indirectly, both intentionally and unintentionally, and when it comes right down to it, I'm good with it.
Provided the campaign means my kids might want to eat a turnip like Stephen Curry. I mean seriously, they're already wearing his shoes, and his jersey, and his socks, and his headphones, might as well get on his diet.
The campaign is quite genius in fact. It gives kids a good reason to look up to celebrities.
They get to see real people that they look up to, enjoy, identify with, and listen to endorse something as basic as a piece of fruit…
Something other than a pair of shoes we can barely afford or a set of headphones we have to save up for.
And I'm excited to see it work.
I came right home to share the experience with The Dudes and, before bed that night I overheard this conversation in their bathroom while they brushed their teeth…
Dude 2: Look at Steph Curry. *shows Dude 3 his Instagram feed*
Dude 3: Wait, what's a turnip?
Dude 2: I don't know, like some kind of vegetable I guess.
Dude 3: Oh, we should ask mom to get one.
Dude 2: It's probably gross.
Dude 3: Maybe. I'm gonna ask her anyway.
See, Mrs. Obama?
It's working.
