A Lane County man who had been accused of felony theft pleaded no contest to the charge Monday in Lane County District Court. As part of the plea, he agreed to pay total restitution of $187,975.50 to the company where he had worked.
According to a statement from Lane County Attorney Dale Pike, Earl Norman Steffens entered the plea agreement to repay the money by the day of his sentencing, which has been set for Feb. 17, 2015.
A no contest plea, while technically not an admission of guilt for the commission of a crime, is generally treated by a judge as an admission of guilt, according to law.com. It is often used in cases in which there is also a possible lawsuit for damages, since it can�t be used in a civil suit as an admission of fault. It�s also common in plea bargain where the defendant accepts the sentence in exchange for not contesting the charge, which is often reduced in some manner. It is standard practice for the judge to ask either the attorneys or the defendant if there is a factual basis for the plea before accepting it and finding the defendant guilty.
Steffens was the former general manager of High Lines Services, Inc., which is a subsidiary of Lane Scott Electric, from 2002 to 2012. He was arrested Aug. 22, 2013, after a High Lines employee discovered and reported false invoices to authorities.
�He created false invoices because he was paid a bonus for all the work that was booked,� Pike said. �He used a scheme that included the creation of false or exaggerated invoices to obtain money over the period of 2008 to 2012.�
A plea agreement was reached Monday after Steffens agreed to a no contest plea, in return for one of the two counts of theft being dismissed.
Steffen is to pay $27,957.59 up front, with the balance of $160,000 due to the clerk of the District Court prior to his sentencing date in February.

Billy went to see Administrator Y. He was sure that it was an oversight because such a fine administrator would never renege on a promise to a boy. Administrator Y said "I am a busy administrator. I have lots of work. I have no time to write your recommendation." Billy was crushed. He needed the recommendation as the college office would not send out his college applications without it. Billy finally convinced a teacher to fill one out for him in a hurry.
Administrator Y:
Would you accept Billy telling you he couldn't do his homework because he was busy? I'm guessing the answer to that is no!
Would you accept an excuse like that from a teacher who was not prepared for his class? I'm guessing the answer to that is no also.
So, why do you think it is alright for you to be busy? Are you the only one busy? Is your time more valuable than every other person's time?
Administrator Y, you took a job that required lots of work. You had to know that before you took the job. Did you want the perks without the responsibility? Were you just tired of being in the classroom? Do you like the prestige of having an office and a title?
Administrator Y, your job has many obligations. Writing this boy's recommendation is one of those obligations. Do what you expect others to do. Or, are you one of those that say Do as I say, not what I do?

Oil steady after hitting 3-week top as Saudi to keep output well below cap
[TOKYO] Oil prices steadied on Monday after hitting their highest level in nearly three weeks, supported by comments from top oil exporter Saudi Arabia that it would continue to curb shipments in line with the Opec-led effort to cut global supplies.
US West Texas Intermediate crude for April delivery was up 4 US cents at US$63.59 a barrel by 0804 GMT after rising 3 per cent last week.
London Brent crude slipped 3 US cents to US$67.28 a barrel, after climbing almost 4 per cent last week.
Both benchmarks earlier hit their highest since Feb 7.
"The rise in equities made it easier to buy risk assets such as oil," said Tomomichi Akuta, senior economist at Mitsubishi UFJ Research and Consulting in Tokyo.
Your feedback is important to us
Tell us what you think. Email us at firstname.lastname@example.com
"But amid worries over US crude production at near record highs, oil is struggling to make a move." Prices were supported after Saudi Arabian oil minister Khalid al-Falih on Saturday said the country's crude production in January-March would be well below output caps, with exports averaging below 7 million barrels per day.
Saudi Arabia hopes Opec and its allies will be able to relax production curbs next year and create a permanent framework to stabilise oil markets after the current supply cut deal ends this year, Mr Falih added.
"A study is taking place and once we know exactly what balancing the market will entail we will announce what is the next step. The next step may be easing of the production constraints," he told reporters in New Delhi.
"My estimation is that it will happen sometime in 2019. But we don't know when and we don't know how".
US energy companies last week added one oil rig, the fifth weekly increase in a row, bringing the total count up to 799, the highest level since April 2015, Baker Hughes energy services firm said on Friday.
Hedge funds and money managers upped their bullish wagers on US crude oil for the first time in four weeks, data showed on Friday.
A powerful 7.5-magnitude earthquake struck Papua New Guinea's Southern Highlands province early on Monday, the US Geological Survey (USGS) said, prompting oil and gas companies to immediately suspend operations in the energy-rich interior.
Meanwhile, Libya's National Oil Corp said on Saturday it had declared force majeure on the 70,000 bpd El Feel oilfield after a protest by guards closed the field.

Interfaces between applications
It is desirable to visualize interfaces between applications. Which ArchiMate concepts can be used for this purpose?
An application is modeled as an application component with corresponding application functions. An interface between applications is modeled via an application service. The application service delivers data by means of an access relationship with a data object. In the example model application function A realizes an application service that is used by B. The application service delivers the data that are in the data object
Figure 9: Application interface using application functions, application service and connected data object
If existing interfaces between applications in a company are visualized according to this pattern, it might appear to suggest that a service oriented architecture is in place while in reality this does not have to be the case.
With compliance to rules of composition (refer to good practice 'Simplification with sustainable consistence'), application functions can be left out of the model. The figure below shows the result.
- Figure 10: Application interface using application service and connected data object
The above interface can also be modeled without a data object:
- Figure 11: Application interface using application service
Not every organization will have a service oriented architecture. In that case it is also possible to model application interfaces using a relationship between the applications. This can be done using for instance a used-by relationship (denoting that Application A is used by Application B) or by a using a flow relation (denoting that information flows from Application A to Application B, or from B to A). In the example below: Application A delivers customer data to application B.
- Figure 12: Application interface using a flow relationship
In some cases interfaces between applications are not realized directly, but via a database. One application writes into a table that is read by another application. Below figure shows this. Application A writes, Application B reads the same data object.
- Figure 13: Application interface using data object
Relationships with other good practices
This can be used by constructing an application landscape using the good practice 'Application landscape'. It is also applicable in conjunction with with the good practice 'Service broker'.

'Measure your words and hold your temper,' Katyayan whispered urgently as Chanakya walked away from him.
'Om! Salutations to Brihaspati and Sukra, the gurus of the gods and antigods, and the originators of the science of politics,' started Chanakya as an opening invocation, facing Dhanananda seated on his royal throne with Rakshas standing at his right hand. 'Om!' chanted the assembly in chorus.
'O enlightened teacher, how can society work in harmony towards the progress of the kingdom?' asked Rakshas.
'By performing one's duty. The duties of a Brahmin are studying, teaching and interceding on man's behalf with the gods. The duties of a Kshatriya are bearing arms and protecting all life. The duties of a Vaishya are trading, manufacturing and producing wealth. The duties of a Shudra are to serve the three higher varnas,' declared Chanakya, knowing fully well that the king seated at the throne was a Shudra.
Rakshas was malevolently pleased. He had already lit the spark. It would not be too long before an explosion occurred. Surprisingly, Dhanananda maintained his composure and allowed the remark to slip.
'Acharya, what should be the qualities of a king?'
'An ideal king should be eloquent, bold, endowed with sharp intellect, strong memory and keen mind. He should be amenable to guidance. He should be strong and capable of leading the army. He should be just in rewarding and punishing. He should have foresight and avail himself of opportunities. He should be capable of governing in times of peace and times of war. He should know when to fight and when to make peace, when to lie in wait and when to strike. He should preserve his dignity at all times, be sweet in speech, straightforward and amiable. He should eschew passion, anger, greed, obstinacy, fickleness, and backbiting. He should conduct himself in accordance with the advice of elders—'
'Oh shut up! I do not need this sermon!' interrupted Dhanananda in a fit of rage. The court was stunned into a silence one could touch. Rakshas was at a loss for words. He had not expected such an instant result.
'I agree with you, O King. You do not need my advice. My advice is meant for those who have the intrinsic capacity to absorb and implement my advice. You, unfortunately, have neither!' thundered Chanakya. Katyayan cringed inwardly. Why had he brought Chanakya here? He had unwittingly placed his own hand within the lion's jaws.
'Rakshas! Who is this ugly oaf that you deem a revered teacher? He's not fit to be amongst us, leave alone lecture us!' demanded Dhanananda.
'O noble King. He is Chanakya, the son of the dear departed Chanak,' explained Rakshas slyly.
'Ah! I now understand. When I ordered for that impudent dimwit's head to be cut off, I should also have done the same for his son. Rats have a nasty habit of multiplying,' observed Dhanananda.
'Once again, I must agree with you, O King,' said Chanakya, 'you were unwise to leave me alive. An enemy should always be destroyed to the very final trace—just as I shall destroy you and your perverted dynasty one day,' predicted Chanakya calmly.
'Have this wretch arrested and sent to Nanda's Hell. He can think up ways for my downfall under the tongs and probes of the talented Girika! Catch him by his puny pigtail as one catches a rat by its tail!' shrieked Dhanananda as his royal guards moved towards Chanakya.
Chanakya's hands went to his shikha and untied the knot that held the individual strands of hair together. In spite of his fury, Dhanananda's curiosity was piqued and he remarked, 'Untying your tail isn't going to help you! A monkey shall always remain a monkey!'
'O stupid and ignorant King, I have made it my sacred duty to unite the whole of Bharat so that it may stand up to the might of the foreign invaders at our doorstep. My first step shall be to expunge you from history. Today I take a sacred oath! I swear upon the ashes of my wise father and loving mother that I shall not re-tie my shikha until I have expelled you as well as the Macedonian invaders from my country and united it under an able and benevolent ruler!' swore Chanakya as the guards caught hold of him by his now untied hair and dragged him towards Nanda's Hell.

'Measure your words and hold your temper,' Katyayan whispered urgently as Chanakya walked away from him.

My next find a few days later at the Stoud Sunday Market in Adamstown, PA, was found buried among a full box of old papers from the late 1890s to early 1900s. This issued, uncanceled certificate, in incredible condition except for the two folds, is from the New-Century Club of Wilmington dated 1912. From Wikipedia, "The New Century Club was a progressive upper class woman's group dedicated to social improvement and charity as well as woman's suffrage issues. Notable members of the Club included Emily P. Bissell, a Red Cross campaigner against tuberculosis who has a state hospital named after her" as well as a US postage stamp, "and Emalea Pusey Warner, who successfully campaigned for public vocational education and has a local elementary school named in her honor. Speakers at the club included future president Woodrow Wilson and birth control advocate Margaret Sanger." The $30,000 capital was used to create a meeting place for the ladies which stands today used as a theater for children.

Remember the early 2000's when kitten heels were the "IT" item to have? Major fashion houses like Balenciaga and Dior get us reassured this season that a kitten heel is no longer a thing of the past. Below I am sharing how to rock this heel while looking current. I have also gathered cute options that will not break the bank. A kitten heel, whether a boot or a pump, is a statement shoe. Let them do the talking by keeping everything else on the simple side. A pair of denim
Hi everyone, A mothers best gift is spending time with her loved ones. Being restaurateurs our family's schedule is different from nine-to-fivers. We jump at the opportunity to do activities as a family at any given moment. Often we choose to do a family bike ride, a one day get away or a stroll through the aquatic park; where our beloved daddy trains for triathlons. The aquatic park is beautiful and on this day Yana and I had fun playing in the wind. For the adventure we brought our new favorite family
Hi Everyone, Dresses are my go-to these days. You can find me in a dress almost any day of the week, at any time of the day or night.

Nuffield honourBy Deniliquin Pastoral Times
Tom Hooke from Wanganella has received a Nuffield Scholarship, with support from Australian Wool Innovation (AWI).
Mr Hooke will use his scholarship to research innovative regenerative agriculture principles to apply to Australian pastoral sheep enterprises.
Mr Hooke and his brother Marcus run the family's 25,000 ha property comprising 9000 commercial Merino ewes, 1000 stud Merino ewes and 200 Angus cows across predominantly open pastoral country in the western Riverina region.
As someone passionate about a holistic approach to farming, he is keen to further extend the principles of rotational grazing to sheep enterprises in pastoral zones, which largely rely on very low input systems and minimal chemical intervention.
''Improved grazing management practices present a major opportunity for sheep producers in these pastoral zones, and my research seeks to unearth leading examples from around the world that can further strengthen our industry's sustainability efforts,'' Mr Hooke said.
''With the recent drought highlighting the difference in production outcomes from land that is well managed, there has never been a more important time for sheep producers to explore sustainable methods to manage risks in the midst of climatic variability.''
Mr Hooke will visit Africa, as well as North and South America, to identify long-term production benefits of rotational grazing in the rangelands and regenerative agriculture, with an aim to pass this knowledge on to peers across the sheep production industry and the wider agricultural sector.
''From March I will participate in a learning tour with the other scholars, visiting five different countries over about six weeks. I will then coordinate my individual travel to Africa and North and South America after that.
''I wanted to go to countries that are similar to the pastoral country we have here — the rangeland — and look at how we can improve grazing practices, which then leads to improved soil health. A big part of it is also resilience through the drought, about using the tools we have in the livestock.''
Mr Hooke said regenerative agriculture has become a ''big topic'' in Australia and across the world, which prompted his Nuffield application.
He said he was also inspired by two authors — Allan Savory and Charles Massy — who have both released books on the subject.
Mr Hooke is one of 22 Nuffield Scholars for 2020.

Would it be possible? I searched a bit and all I could find was cargo ships to other countries.
Also, the main reason I want to do this is to take my personal effects with me. Would it be possible to bring boxes and boxes of books with me? What would be the procedure?
Thanks for your help in advance.

Hey all,
I was updating my wiki page and doing some searches on old large normals and found that a few of my first games aren't appearing. Mafia 71, 72, 84 and maybe (?) a few more are missing. They are in the relevant forums but they aren't appearing in the search results, unless I search my username only. (Even limiting it to Mafia games they disappear). Other older games are searchable (ie. open/mini normal's etc.), so it seems odd.

A plantar wart is defined as a wart that forms on the bottom of the foot. They can develop on the heels or on the balls of the feet, and can cause considerable pain and discomfort. Many of these types of warts have tiny black dots in the center, and can appear disfigured. As this type of wart develops, it grows into the sole of the foot as a result of standing or walking for the majority of the day. Plantar warts are considered to be contagious, and the virus that causes this condition thrives in moist and warm areas. Research has indicated that it is beneficial to wear appropriate shoes while in public pools, locker rooms, and surrounding areas. There are several treatment options that are available which can provide relief. If you feel you have developed a plantar wart, please consult with a podiatrist who can guide you towards proper treatment.
Plantar warts can be very uncomfortable. If you need your feet checked, contact one of our podiatrists from PA Foot & Ankle Associates. Our doctors will assist you with all of your foot and ankle needs.
About Plantar Warts
Plantar warts are the result of HPV, or human papillomavirus, getting into open wounds on the feet. They are mostly found on the heels or balls of the feet.
While plantar warts are generally harmless, those experiencing excessive pain or those suffering from diabetes or a compromised immune system require immediate medical care. Plantar warts are easily diagnosed, usually through scraping off a bit of rough skin or by getting a biopsy.
To help prevent developing plantar warts, avoid walking barefoot over abrasive surfaces that can cause cuts or wounds for HPV to get into. Avoiding direct contact with other warts, as well as not picking or rubbing existing warts, can help prevent the further spread of plantar warts. However, if you think you have developed plantar warts, speak to your podiatrist. He or she can diagnose the warts on your feet and recommend the appropriate treatment options.
If you have any questions please feel free to contact one of our offices located in Pennsylvania. We offer the newest diagnostic and treatment technologies for all your foot and ankle needs.Read more about Plantar Warts

Directory: Techniques → Offensive Techniques
Rush Attack is a generic term for a basic type of technique in which the user utilizes a physical attack, and in some cases, in rapid succession against their enemy. These attacks appear in the Dragon Ball manga, Dragon Ball Super manga, Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z, Dragon Ball GT, and Dragon Ball Super along with movies and video games.
Unlike in the case of energy waves or energy spheres, rush attacks generally do not produce light or plasma-like energy, only relying on hand-to-hand combat, such as martial arts and other physical fighting styles. Users can often be seen powering up before charging into close-range of their enemy and becoming a rush attack. Many fighters in the universe can perform rush attacks, and the strengths and speeds vary based on the user and the lethality of their physical attacks they use during Rush Attacks. Through training, concentration, and transformations, the attributes of rush attacks can be further increased.
List of Rush Attacks
Main articles: List of Rush Attacks and Hyper Tension Blows
Video Game Appearances
In the Budokai Tenkaichi series, they serve as Blast 2 or Ultimate Blast attacks and seem to inflict more damage as Ultimate Blasts than as Blast 2 attacks. Similar to energy waves, if two characters use their respective rush attacks against each other, they will collide in an "Energy Crash." If one character loses the Energy Crash with their rush attack, they will be knocked away by the winner. While this occurs in Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 2 and Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3, in Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi, the winner will not only knock the loser away, but will automatically attack the flying opponent with their rush attack they used in the Energy Crash.
In Dragon Ball: Raging Blast, there are some rush attacks that can be used as counterattacks. They function differently from regular rush attacks as they are activated when an enemy tries to attack the character. However, precise timing is required along with the fact that the character must be directly in front of the attacking opponent to activate the counter rush attack. If opponent A activates a counter rush attack from a distance away from opponent B, the attack's effect will wear off and opponent B will be able to attack the opponent A.
Rush attacks are also used in Dragon Ball Z: Attack of the Saiyans; every playable character has a rush attack. In the menu, a punch symbol is before the name of the rush attack so it could be understood as a physical attack. When two playable characters use a rush attack while their rage gauge at maximum, it activates a Charging Rush combo. When one uses a rush attack and another one uses a Ki Blast attack, it activates a Rush Blast attack. When the three playable characters on the battle field use a rush attack, still with their rage gauge at maximum, it creates a Hyper Rush combo. Finally, when two playable characters use a rush attack and the third one on the battle field uses a Ki Blast attack, it creates a Hyper Blast attack.
In Dragon Ball Online, rush attacks are called Hyper Tension Blows and are exclusive from one class to another. This means that all Martial Artist have the same HTB Skill (Dragon Power!!), and it cannot be learned by another class, even of their own race. A player can choose to have up to two HTB attacks, as one accompanies the master class system. They are cinematic sequences which can occur when the skill is casted, and have lengthy cooldown periods; time where skills cannot be used. Instead of HP like life-sacrificing skills or EP like most physical and energy attacks, these use RP.

Online:Book of Thoughts
|Diaries and Logs
|Found in the following locations:
— Keeper has me keep a book of thoughts. It is hard to write words with a stick! I will send this to my matron when I finish. She will be happy!
— Today I write about duties here. Catch the biter bugs and crunch them. My spine is sore from this all day work! One egg moved when I came near. Can the small ones hear us?
— I picked my egg-friend today. I can feel the small one say hello when I tap on it. Keeper says I am silly to think this. Ha! When the little one comes out, he will be surprised!
— I saw a stranger today. It was a pale Elf, but not one of the ash. It hissed at me like wamasu. I ran and hid in a bush. After, I felt bad. What if the pale Elf stole something?
— My egg-friend is missing from its nest. The pale Elf came back and stole, I know it! I will get back my egg-friend. The pale Elf will get many smacks!

Author's Note: To those of you looking for information regarding the discontinued NBC soap opera, you will be dismayed. Furthermore, this post will not deal with Dictionary.com's first five definitions for the word "passion," three of which deal with "sexual desire." Sorry to disappoint.
Editor's Note: This post is long. Also, it is a relatively "personal" post, instead of the usual commentary on life in general or specific things in society of interest. If you're not interested in reading something personal, just move along…
Producer's Note: Yes, the Author and Editor are one-and-the-same. Or is that two-and-the-same?
Why is it often so hard to figure out what you truly enjoy doing the most? I've never been a big fan of the career aptitude tests some high school students take to help guide the college major selection; I've always believed that an individual will know what is right for them to pursue, whether as a college major or a career.
I must admit I'm having a little trouble with this myself, though.
Most people know me as a music guy. I play trombone. (Or, if you know me from church, perhaps you know me as that drummer who plays some guitar on the side.) "So where are you teaching now?" I get asked by old friends and acquaintances, those who knew me during my tenure as a music education major at Ball State. Though I appreciate the conversations, I hate having to answer that question, largely because I don't have one, "perfect" answer.
Brief aside: I don't think it's right that we, as a society, put so much importance on our jobs that when we meet someone it seems the only important things to find out are "what's your name?" and "what do you do?" Nonetheless, this is the world we live in…
I am set to start working on Tuesday, September 8th, as a substitute teacher in Lawrence Township schools. I am thankful for a job (albeit a "full-time" job at "part-time" wages), but it's not my life's dream. I don't take any particular joy or pleasure in teaching, especially middle-school kids (which is where I will be). It's not my strongest suit. So I find myself daydreaming about, applying for, and occasionally even interviewing for other jobs (especially ones that are actually full-time and salaried!).
The problem is, as I sit there thinking, I cannot seem to settle on one or two main things I enjoy doing, things I am passionate about. Dictionary.com's sixth definition for "passion" is as follows:
a strong or extravagant fondness, enthusiasm, or desire for anything: a passion for music.
I have too many things that I have some level of fondness, enthusiasm, or desire for. I'm struggling to "limit" myself by choosing just one as a career and relegating the others to the "hobby" category (and, in reality, doing away with some entirely for lack of time and/or funding). Here I will hash out a few ideas.
Music has always been an important part of my life. I love listening to music of all kinds. I enjoy making music, whether playing trombone, playing drums, playing guitar, playing bass, singing, or even arranging music. I do enjoy teaching music, particularly being in front of an ensemble and making music through the players in front of me (again, why I would enjoy high school/college over middle school).
I'm just not sure that it is something to do professionally, full-time. I have said since finishing high school that if I could get a full-time orchestra gig, playing with the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra, or the Cincinnati Symphony, or Cleveland, etc., I would love that. To get paid to play my trombone is awesome. (I am fortunate enough to be playing with the Muncie Symphony Orchestra "full time" this year, but the MSO's full-time is still very part-time.) The reality is that it is very unlikely that I will ever win a full-time orchestra audition, so I cannot bank on this.
Literally as long as I can remember, I have been using computers. 8088, 286, 386, 486, Pentium, PII, PIII, Celeron, Centrino, AMD, Motorola (PowerPC) Mac, and Intel Mac, I've had them all and used them all. I installed an internal modem with my dad and my grandpa (his dad) when I was probably 8 years old. And yes, I helped, because I wanted to jump ahead to set the jumpers (yes, those) before my grandpa was ready to move to that step. (I recall this because of his reaction, which taught me a small but important lesson: "One problem at a time." I don't always remember this lesson very well…)
But what to do with my computer skills? Many friends and family know me as the go-to guy when it comes to fixing/building computers. And yet, lacking any formal certification or training, I'm not terribly marketable to potential employers who want someone with "proven" computer chops.
I have had some good friends of mine suggest I start my own computer-repair business, starting by just putting fliers on mailboxes and going door-to-door in area neighborhoods. This may in fact be a terrific idea, but I'm terrified of 1) not making it financially, especially as I'm building [and I don't have enough in savings to truly invest in a start-up project], and 2) the notion that, even in that arena, no one will trust my abilities and knowledge because of my lack of certification: why would they pay me to fix their computers when they could pay someone from the Geek Squad to do it? (And trust me, I have about a million answers to that, but that's not the point here… and no offense to any Geek Squad employees reading this; I'm sure you're all lovely people.)
"What? Michael can't even read!" Yes, politics. There are times that I get very deep into reading, listening, and learning about current events and issues and historical events and issues, and at these times I feel that I would love to be involved on some level in politics and current events. That might be as intense as actually running for some local office. That might be as far from that as just writing and commenting about issues. As anyone who truly knows me can attest, I am very opinionated. I wish I had the time (the "reason") to spend truly becoming knowledgeable about issues. If I did, I would love to use that knowledge to help make a difference.
Law Enforcement
Yeah yeah, it's dangerous. But what kind of a man am I if I am more concerned with my own physical safety than the safety of others? I enjoy a certain level of risk in most things I do, so that wouldn't bother me. I am respectfully aware of danger, though, not recklessly unsafe. I am also very alert, perceptive, vigilant, aware of my surroundings at all times, and I would love to use these traits to help protect and serve others.
Some may know that I already have gone as far through the application process at Fishers PD as they would let me (about halfway, I finished 37 of 68 when they took the top 34 to the next level). I am just about to start the same process with Indianapolis Metro PD. Fully aware that IMPD is statistically a more dangerous jurisdiction than FPD, I still want a foot in the door to the world of law enforcement. (And let's be honest, despite the increased crime rate in Indy versus Fishers, only six IPD/IMPD officers have died in the line of duty since I was born over 23 years ago; with all due respect to the deceased, that's not that terrible.)
These are just the main four areas that come to mind as I am writing this. If I had to pick just one of even those four to focus on, it would be very difficult – a near-tie between law enforcement and computers. Computers I have more experience and direct knowledge about, but I feel that I have a great aptitude toward both; I probably would receive more direct pleasure from law enforcement. See my quandary?
I enjoy serving people. I think that is apparent in what I've already written as well as in what I didn't write about: my recent history, college experience, and full-time employment with a church last year. I'm just trying to find the best way to use the gifts God has given me to serve Him by serving His people. This should be a happy experience, and it mostly is, I'm just struggling to find the best fit for me. The job market isn't helping much, to be sure, but ultimately it is up to me to make an opportunity for employment.

A number of factors spurred improved investor sentiment in emerging markets over the past month, including an interest-rate cut from the US Federal Reserve. Franklin Templeton Emerging Markets Equity outlines the news and events shaping market moves during October, and the reasons why the team is optimistic about the coming year.
Optimism toward EMs has picked up following another interest-rate cut by the US Federal Reserve (Fed), as well as increased expectations for the signing of "phase one" of the US-China trade deal. While both sides appear to be approaching a partial trade agreement, we remain cautious and expect to see some market volatility until a more comprehensive deal is finalized.
Despite the uncertainty, we continue to see investment opportunities across EMs. We expect overall corporate earnings to strengthen in 2020 as upturns in some parts of the technology sector offer support. We also consider valuations for EM equities to be attractive relative to developed market equities. Meanwhile, we remain on the lookout for areas where corporate governance could improve and potentially bolster shareholder value.
We are focused on identifying high-quality companies where we see sustainable earnings power, and which trade at what we think is a discount to their intrinsic worth. We see strong competitive advantages in several technology and consumer-related companies that are also among our top holdings, and we believe they have the potential to extend their market positions even in a challenging environment.
EM equities rose in October and outpaced developed market stocks. The prospect of a partial US-China trade deal, plus interest-rate cuts from the Fed and other central banks around the world, eclipsed pockets of political uncertainty in Latin America and the Middle East. EM currencies as a whole strengthened against the US dollar. The MSCI Emerging Markets Index gained 4.2% over the month, compared with a 2.6% return in the MSCI World Index, both in US dollars.4
Asian equities finished the month higher. Chinese stocks benefitted from a tentative pause in US-China trade disputes as both countries worked toward concluding the first phase of a trade agreement. Technology-heavy indexes in Taiwan and South Korea rose on the back of improved expectations for smartphone and memory chip demand. The Bank of Korea also lowered its benchmark interest rate to support the domestic economy. Conversely, Thailand's equity market retreated amid a weaker economic outlook, and subdued corporate earnings.
Mixed news dominated Latin American markets. Colombia and Brazil were key gainers in the region. The long-awaited passage of a pension reform bill in Brazil cheered investors, as did the central bank's decision to cut its key interest rate to a record low. Sentiment in Mexico rose on President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador's plans to unveil several major infrastructure projects to boost the economy. However, social unrest in Chile and the defeat of Argentina's business-friendly president in the country's general election checked positive sentiment.
In the Europe, Middle East and Africa region, Hungarian and Russian equities advanced the most. The Bank of Russia announced a larger-than-expected interest-rate cut amid subdued domestic economic growth. In South Africa, investors focused on the government's medium-term budget policy statement, which flagged a wider budget deficit and higher debt ahead amid an ongoing bailout of state power utility Eskom. At the other end of the spectrum, equities in Turkey and Saudi Arabia fell.

It's 2019! Happy New Year and happy holidays!
We still have a couple of weeks of school holidays and almost two months of Summer left – we want you to enjoy it while you make the most of the great Australian outdoors.
The Coola Cozzies family is all too aware of the harmful effects of the Australian sun, so we want to know that our choice of sunscreen is going to do everything the label promises it will.
We recently researched sunscreens to find out a bit more about which brands are the best and why.
Choice, Australia's leading consumer advocacy group, tested a small sample of SPF 50+ sunscreens, this is what they discovered:
- In many countries sunscreen is treated like a cosmetic, however in Australia it's regulated like a medicine.
- Manufacturers have to have their sunscreen listed with the Therapeutic Goods Administration and as such the product has to be tested to ensure it meets its SPF claim.
- Choice tested six SPF50+ sunscreens and found four didn't meet their SPF claim.Test results were so varied that the actual testing itself needed to be considered, as different labs concluded different results. One product sent to five different labs, was rated a different SPF by each lab, none reported SPF100 (which is what the product claimed).
- Manufacturers also had variances affecting their SPF claims including different batches and storage conditions.
Cancer Council Classic Zinc and Nivea Sun Kids Caring roll-on were the only two products that met their SPF50+ claim.
Canstar, the number one rated comparison site in Australia, reviewed 10 brands of sunscreens. They did not list if they were SPF50+. The review included criteria such as effectiveness, texture, value for money, absorption, smell, and overall satisfaction. Le Tan came out on top in 2018 for sunscreen. Given this review was not scientific, it comes back to making sure you are doing more than just applying sunscreen 20 minutes before exposure. Here are some important tips to follow:
- How sunscreen is used directly relates to its impact or effectiveness. According to Choice, "apply liberally", which is often the instruction on the packaging, is not enough of a guide:
- Aim for:
1 teaspoon for head and neck
2 teaspoons for the torso
1 teaspoon for each arm and each leg
- Aim for:
- Apply 15-30 minutes before going in the sun
- Reapply every two hours, irrespective of any "4 hour protection" claim on packaging
- Check the expiry date or ideally replace the product every year
- Store it below 30C, so do not leave it in your glove box for convenience
Always do more than just sunscreen when it comes to your sun safety: hat, sunglasses, shade and consider your swimwear, such as a long sleeve rashie and board shorts.
Have fun sun-safely this Summer!
