BEIJING, Feb. 17, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Aiseesoft iPad Converter Suite is a premium solution that allows iPad users to effortlessly convert DVD and video files and to transfer the converted videos to all versions of Apple's iPad. There are three versions of the iPad Converter Suite available. The standard version is packed with the DVD-to-iPad Converter, iPad Video Converter, and iPad Transfer software. The difference between the standard version and the platinum version is that the latter contains iPad Transfer Platinum, not iPad Transfer. The ultimate version of this iPad Converter Suite is the perfect combination of DVD-to-iPad Converter, iPad Video Converter, iPad Transfer Platinum and DVD Creator.
DVD-to-iPad Converter can easily convert DVDs to iPad-compatible video and audio formats, including iPad 4 H.264 HD Video (*.mp4), iPad mini H.264 HD Video (*.mp4), iPad MOV Video (*.mov), iPad M4V Video (*.m4v), AAC, MP3, AIFF, WAV, and more. The DVD conversion software supports converting DVD discs, DVD folders and DVD IFO files, and offers two DVD loading modes: DVD Navigator Mode (Recommended) and DVD Parser Mode. Thanks to the user-friendly interface, everything is easy and convenient. Double-click the output file section in the file area to rename the output file. Click the "Settings" button at the bottom of the interface to open the settings window in order to adjust the video encoder, frame rate, resolution, aspect ratio, video bitrate, audio encoder, sample rate, channels and audio bitrate. Also, this DVD-to-iPad Converter enables users to select profiles according to their devices.
iPad Video Converter is capable of converting a wide range of video/audio formats to iPad, iPod, iPhone and Apple TV-supported video/audio formats. It possesses powerful video editing features such as trimming the length of video clips, cropping the video playing area, adding text or image watermarks to videos, merging several files into a single one, and adjusting brightness, hue, contrast, saturation, output volume and the aspect ratio of video files. Moreover, this iPad video-converting software supports AMD APP and NVIDIA® CUDA™ GPU processing acceleration technology, which will increase the video conversion speed up to six times.
iPad Transfer can transfer iPad/iPhone/iPod music, movies, ringtones, pictures and camera roll files to PCs and transfer music, movies and ringtone files to iTunes. This program also can transfer such files from PCs to personal Apple devices without overwriting existing files. It is very easy to transfer movies, music and photos between Apple devices as well as to convert DVD/video/audio files to iPhone ringtones (M4R) and then to directly import them to devices or iTunes. iPad Transfer Platinum has the added ability of transferring and backup iPhone SMS/MMS to PC, and can also import local contact information (VCF, CSV) to iPad/iPhone/iPod, and can export, back up and delete iPhone contacts. It supports exporting iPhone contacts to .csv files for use with Google, Hotmail, Yahoo and Outlook accounts, vCard files (.vcf) for Outlook or Windows and vCard single files for other address books. The platinum version also helps users repair devices, such as when the iTunes database is damaged. Moreover, iPhone Transfer Platinum can edit ID3 data for music and movie files on personal devices.
iPad Converter Suite Ultimate contains the DVD Creator software, which can burn video files to DVD, convert popular videos to DVD folders and ISO files and customize the DVD menu, audio track, subtitles and video effects.

The Cleveland Indians saw their slim hopes of an American League wild-card spot end late Friday night, a little more than an hour after recording a memorable victory. Carlos Carrasco tries to match Corey Kluber's gem in the series opener when he takes the mound Saturday as the Indians host the Tampa Bay Rays in the second of a three-game set. Kluber threw eight scoreless innings in Cleveland's 1-0 win Friday before Oakland's victory eliminated the Indians from playoff contention.Cleveland is 47-32 at home and would still be in the race if it had reached 40 road wins like Tampa Bay (40-39). The Rays, who will finish its first losing season since 2007, have lost six of their last eight games and three of four against the Indians this season.

Jonah Shacknai Still Not Suspected in Mansion Deaths Despite Lengthy Police Probeby Free Britney at . Comments
Despite receing nine calls in three years related to two of Jonah Shacknai's homes, investigators are finding no links to two mystery deaths in his mansion.
"There doesn't appear to be a connection," Coronado, Ca., Police Commander Michael Lawton tells People. "There's nothing here that stands out as suspicious."
The calls involved the beachfront mansion owned by Jonah Shacknai, a CEO of a pharmaceutical company, and another residence four blocks away.
His ex-wife Dina lives in the second residence. Their son, Max, 6, died after a fall in the mansion earlier this month, which was officially ruled an accident.
Just two days later, Rebecca Nalepa (a.k.a. Rebecca Zahau, 32) was found hanged there. She had been dating Jonah Shacknai for close to three years.
Calls to police from 2008-present included a report of a vandalism to a car at the home, second-degree burglary, a robbery alarm and other incidents.Five calls between 2009-2011 to the ex-wife's home included a suspicious vehicle call, two complaints of disturbing the peace, and a burglary alarm.
Police found no crimes had been committed in any of those cases.
Lawton says the area is full of tourists and prone to frequent police calls and false alarms. Some of these reports may not have involved either property at all, but were simply in close proximity to an random incident, he posits.
Anyone notice "OJ" are the first two letters in JOnah's name? hmmm.
They really need to look into the millionaires ex wife. There is no way she committed suicide and all evidence points otherwise. Justice needs to be served money or not. I am so sick of rich criminals.
Suicide? Rubbhish! Who commits suicide like that? This is revenge killing! "If Shacknai's face is how you look after using his products, it should be banned."
"Suicide???Â? Must be nice to have money and have the cops on your side."
Dina said Jonah made little or no attempts to pull off the dog when it was biting her. So I can see Jonah in a mad rage strangled Rebecca and then hanged her.
Rebecca killed herself in a bizarre way to taint the life of her "boyfriend" forever. She was blamed by him and his ex-wife for not watching their son, who later died from a house accident, and she was told to leave. They would never be able to forgive her for the son's death, whether or not she was responsible for his fall. She had no place to go which would freely support the high-style of living she had become accustomed too. For psychotic and demented revenge.. she made sure no one would ever be able forget her, and her boyfriend would never be able to live in the mansion again.
How did he push his son down the stairs? Using mental telekenisis from a distance? He wasn't even at home when his son fell. His girlfriend was watching the child.
Good Grief! The Shacknai family has suffered a horrible tragic
life-altering chain of events. Give them a break.
This is not suicide! It smells MURDER. Why is Jonah not speaking now? Is he afraid? Why was Dina at the mansion so early in the morning on the day that Rebecca was found hanging? Did Adam deliberately contaminate the evidence?
what if he pushed his son down the stairs & she knew about it? So he had to kill her to keep her from talking.

California has experienced record dry conditions with an explosive wildfire season approaching. The state even declared May 4 to 10, 2014 "Wildfire Awareness Week," urging residents to prepare homes for potential wildfires.
"Creating and maintaining a defensible space is critical for the protection of homes," said Chief Ken Pimlott, director of CAL FIRE. "It has never been more critical to strengthen our fire prevention efforts, in light of the elevated fire conditions we have been experiencing in California. We have increased our inspection staffing and now we need the public to make sure they, too, are prepared for the increased fire risk due to drought."
Homeowners can easily create a defensible space to help protect their homes and improve their chances of surviving a wildfire through easy maintenance practices. A minimum defensible space of 100 feet around your home is required by California law (Public Resources Code 4291). Check with your local fire department for specific defensible space requirements in your area.
Creating a 100-foot space around the home is oftentimes the easiest and most effective first line of defense against wildfires. According to "Landscaping Tips to Help Defence your Home from Wildfire," the goal of the law is to protect the home while providing a safe area for firefighters.
A buffer between structures and trees, grass and shrubs help slow or stop the spread of wildfire. Break your property surrounding the home down into two zones.
Zone 1:
-Remove all dead plants, grass and weeds (vegetation).
-Remove dead or dry leaves and pine needles from your yard, roof and rain gutters.
-Trim trees regularly to keep branches a minimum of 10 feet from other trees.
-Remove branches that hang over your roof and keep dead branches 10 feet away from your chimney.
-Relocate wood piles into Zone 2 (see below)
-Remove or prune flammable plants and shrubs near windows.
-Remove vegetation and items that could catch fire from around and under decks.
-Create a separation between trees, shrubs and items that could catch fire, such as patio furniture, wood piles, swing sets, etc.
Zone 2:
-Cut or mow annual grass down to a minimum height of 4 inches.
-Create horizontal spacing between shrubs and trees (see diagram).
-Create vertical spacing between grass, shrubs and trees (see diagram).
-Remove fallen leaves, needles, twigs, bark, cones and small branches. However, they may be permitted to a depth of 3 inches.
Again, prepared homeowners are not only protecting their homes, but also providing a safe environment for firefighters responding to the call of duty. Visit The California Garden Web or ReadyforWildfire.org for more information about preparing your home for wildfire season and for information about fire-resistant landscaping. You can also visit UC Cooperative Extension's Fire program.

The use of graywater to irrigate landscape plants is increasing throughout the United States, particularly in California and other arid states. In the United States, "graywater" often refers to wastewater that originates from residential clothes washer, bathtubs, showers and sinks. It excludes wastewater generated from kitchen sinks, dishwashers and toilets (black water).
As of August 2009, a permit is no longer required for the installation of the following single-family or two-family residential graywater irrigation systems, if other conditions are met (California Department of Housing and Community Development): a) a simple clothes washing graywater system as long as it does not require cutting of the existing plumbing piping; and b) a single-fixture system that collects graywater from one plumbing fixture.
All other systems require a construction permit prior to creation, retrofitting, construction and installation as stated in the actual code. The full text of these standards can be viewed at the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) Division of Codes and Standards website. Because these regulations may change at any time, always check with HCD and local enforcement agencies before developing plans for or installing a graywater system. Cities and counties can impose stricter guidelines than the state, so homeowners interested in installing a system should contact their local jurisdiction for specific regulations concerning graywater handling and use.
Laundry-to-landscape graywater systems are relatively simple to install and are inexpensive. The hose exiting the clothes washing machine is attached to a valve that separates graywater from water destined for the sewer. The graywater is diverted through a one-inch main irrigation line with a half-inch tubing outlets that are placed throughout the landscape, terminating in a valve box set called a "mulch basin." The basin surrounds plants being watered.
Benefits and Risks
Using graywater to irrigate landscape plants can conserve water and electricity and reduce water bills by recycling water otherwise destined for a wastewater treatment plant. Since an estimated 30 to 50 percent of home water use produces graywater, significant savings can be realized. A typical household (2.6 people) produces an average of 90 gallons of graywater each day. While most systems will not supply enough water to irrigate an entire traditionally landscaped yard, most can supply 1/2 to 3/4 of the water required by a drip-irrigated, water-efficient landscape with limited or no turf.
The potential risks should be carefully evaluated before deciding to install a graywater recycling system. Graywater varies substantially in quality and potential risks from site to site. Many household cleaning products contain dyes, bleach, chlorine, sodium, boron and phosphate, which can pose significant human and environmental health concerns and injure or kill plants at high dosages over a short period or smaller dosages over a long period.
Impact of Graywater on Human Health
Because of recent changes regarding graywater reuse under California and other state statutes, research pertaining to long-term impacts and risks of graywater reuse on human health, plant health, soil chemistry and ground and surface water quality is very limited.
Research examining the microbial constituency of graywater indicates that direct contact with graywater can pose a health risk to humans. Pathogens can enter graywater through food sources in the kitchen (which is why graywater generated from kitchen sinks and dishwashers is not recommended). Because pathogens can also enter graywater through fecal matter, avoid water contaminated by dirty diapers.
Graywater should not be applied directly to edible plants or root crops. To be safe, it should be applied only to nonedible ornamental plants. Avoid splashing graywater on neighboring edible plants. Also, graywater should not be applied using sprinkler systems, since droplets containing harmful microbes can become suspended in the air and breathed.
Impact of Graywater on Soil Chemistry and Water Quality
Limited research exists that addresses the fate of microorganisms found in graywater and the impacts on indigenous soil microorganisms, soil chemistry and water quality. Soil, rock and other materials that serve as filters can significantly diminish the threat of water pollution from graywater use.
Impact of Graywater on Plant Health
Because graywater is often rich in nutrients required for plant growth, ornamental plants may benefit from its use. However, numerous studies indicate that graywater may contain significant levels of sodium and other salts that are harmful to plants. In general, evergreens are more salt-sensitive than deciduous trees.
For more information on using graywater in urban landscapes, please contact Janet Hartin, environmental horticulture advisor, at firstname.lastname@example.com or (951) 313-2023. For information about UC Cooperative Extension's other programs, click here.

Each step can reduce water needs by as much as 10 percent. The impact on the landscape becomes more severe with each step; so stop with the step that results in enough water savings to meet your goal.
Step 1: Fix the hardware. Walk through the landscape while the irrigation system is running. Look for leaks at valves, heads and other parts of the irrigation system. Also, look for heads that apply water on pavement, are blocked by grass or other plant material, have poor spray or stream pattern, and are out of alignment.
Make the necessary adjustments or repairs. Be certain that spray or rotary heads are adjusted and spaced so that they apply water evenly from one head to another. If they do not, heads should be adjusted or added to get uniform water application. Also, be sure your irrigation controller is able to operate at least three separate programs with at least three start times. If it cannot, then replace it with one that has these features.
Step 2: Identify or create groupings of plants with similar water needs. This practice, known as hydrozoning, makes it easier to match irrigation schedules with plant water needs. During much of the year, most landscape plants need water less frequently and in less quantity than lawns. So, be sure each lawn area has its own valve or set of valves. Other areas of the landscape and garden, such as flowerbeds, groundcover areas, or shrub and tree plantings, should be irrigated by separate valves that can be set to water according to the unique needs of the plants.
Step 3: Assess and improve the irrigation schedules for each watering zone (hydrozone). Be sure the schedules for each valve apply the amount of water at the interval that meets the needs of plants without overwatering. Note how often and how long the irrigation system runs in order to keep the lawn and other plants up to standard. Compare these to the following general schedules and adjust yours down, if needed. In most non-desert locations, established lawns during the summer need irrigation no more than three or four days per week, with at least three watering cycles each irrigation day.
To apply enough water and avoid runoff, each cycle needs to run about 5 to 25 minutes, depending on the heads being use (rotary or fixed spray) and the amount of slope in the planting. Observe how many minutes it takes for runoff or puddling to begin. Then, take one minute off. This should be the maximum time at which you set one cycle. Cycles should be timed so that there is a break of several minutes to an hour between starts for each valve.
Established trees, shrubs and groundcovers usually need less water. Their irrigation should be less frequent (usually no more often than every 4 to 10 days in the summer). But enough water needs to be applied on a watering day to wet the soil about a foot deep. Again, schedule multiple cycles or use drip irrigation to do this without runoff.
Step 4: Reduce the amount of water applied to less than optimum. This practice is sometimes called deficit irrigating. With lawns and other frequently watered plants, reduce the runtime minutes by about 10 percent. For trees, shrubs and groundcovers, it is best to keep the runtime minutes the same and slightly extend the days between irrigation.
Lawns may develop some brown spots, and other plants may develop signs of drought stress.
Step 5: As a last resort, reduce the planted area being irrigated. First, consider reducing turfgrass areas or discontinue irrigating turf areas, as these are replanted more easily than groundcovers, shrubs or trees.
This step is the most dramatic and can yield some substantial water savings if large areas are stripped of plants or go unirrigated. Taking this action can also have significant negative side effects, such as increased heat load and dust in the area because the plants are no longer there to supply evaporative cooling, humidification and wind modification.

Last summer, I was reminded of why I get so much personal and professional satisfaction from being part of UC Cooperative Extension.
I was having a discussion with a group of 4-H youth, preparing them for summer camp as staff members. I was talking about their important role to serve as mentors and provide a memorable camp experience to more than 100 youth. It was at that moment when I realized that our program must have been important and meaningful to them because they have volunteered for a week to give that same experience to a new group of kids. For them, 4-H meant something, and they wanted to share it with others. That was a powerful realization.
Like the volunteers, I wanted to share what I experienced as a youth growing up in local youth programs in Compton. Nearly every day after school, I was fortunate to play, learn and grow in an after-school environment that nurtured my interests and skills in a safe place. The program staff were committed to providing this experience to all their youth participants. Field trips and overnight camping trips to Catalina Island as well as year-round sports activities helped to keep me safe and away from unhealthy, risky activities.
I also realized how important non-parental adults can be to young people. They help broaden the context of life and guide youth through experiences and opportunities that lead to a thriving adulthood.
So, I understand why these 4-H youth gave up part of their summer to be volunteer mentors. I, too, felt that need to share my positive youth experience with others. It is a wonderful thing to want to share.

Wreaths, garlands, valance hangings and table decorations, graced with velvet ribbons and fruits and leaves of the season, are easy-to-make glories during the holiday season.
In ancient Rome, circular wreaths were symbols of victory and celebration. In 16th century Germany, fir or spruce wreaths were laid flat on a table with a candle lit on the first Sunday of Advent. Today, the wreath symbolizes continuity and tradition.
Evergreen boughs brought indoors by Druids were honored as sacred plants that didn't die, allowing the house to survive the winter. Primitive tribes in Europe hung evergreens above their doors during the winter solstice to offer woodland spirits shelter. They hoped that this would bring good fortune and health. Today's garlands continue to brighten our door and window sills, mantels and tables.
Your creation can be as simple as a bunch of your favorite herb branches tied with a ribbon, or as complex as a large and intricate wreath embellished with many sentimental items from a person's lifetime. It can be fancy or plain and worked on for weeks or completed on the spur of the moment. It all depends on what you want and what materials you have collected.
Materials can encompass anything you have access to, such as grapevine trimmings off the back fence and herb sprigs from the kitchen garden to pine cones from an excursion in the foothills. A great way to find unexpected goodies is to wander the aisles in a craft store, trying different combinations of textures and colors and seeing what strikes your fancy. Matching ribbons and other bits and pieces to friends' personalities is always great fun.
Looking at "ordinary" items in a new way can also reveal many possibilities. Green and red bell peppers add holiday cheer to a wreath on the front door. An oddly curled Armenian cucumber or long-necked squash becomes decoration in a table arrangement. A tree ornament becomes special when it's the only one on a wreath hung on child's door. Anything and everything becomes fair game for decorating. It's all up to your cleverness and sense of humor.
Materials to consider for the wreath or garland base
- A whole sunflower head with the central stem portion removed, forming a "donut"
- Dried sphagnum moss (the long stringy kind, not milled)
- Eucalyptus foliage
- Evergreen clippings (pine, spruce, holly, redwood, cedar, osmanthus and juniper)
- Forsythia branches (young)
- Grapevines
- Hay
- Herb foliage (bay laurel, coriander, sage, marjoram, oregano, rosemary, basil, lavender and pennyroyal)
- Honeysuckle trimmings
- Magnolia leaves
- Olive branches (young)
- Pinecones
- Raffia
- Straw
- Styrofoam flat shapes or balls
- Willow branches (young, peeled to reveal blond-colored wood)
- Wisteria trimmings
Materials to consider for decorations
- Candy canes
- Chili peppers
- Cookies (cutouts and gingerbread men)
- Dried ferns and other greens
- Dried flowers
- Dried fruits
- Dried Indian corn ears with husks partially removed to reveal colored kernels
- Dried rosebuds splashed with rose oil
- Dried safflower pods
- Eucalyptus pods
- Fabrics in rich colors, patterns and textures
- Fall-colored leaves
- Florescent glow strips and stickers
- Fresh flowers
- Fresh fruits
- Garlic heads
- Herb blossoms and berries
- Magnolia seed cones
- Miniature tree lights
- Mistletoe
- Nuts (walnuts, almonds, filberts, brazils and chestnuts)
- Onion bulbs
- Oranges stuck with whole cloves
- Ornaments
- Pinecones
- Popcorn on a string
- Pretzels
- Pyracantha clippings of berries and leaves
- Raffia
- Ribbon candy
- Seed pods
- Shocks of wheat or sorghum
- Silk flowers
- Small statuary
- Tinsel
- Your child's artwork

- Application Details
I applied online. The process took 2+ months – interviewed at HSBC Holdings.Interview Details
Applied online and had 3-4 interviews before getting an offer; met with local manager, senior management, and branch staff. Senior management promises the world and then you start and realize that they said things that were 180 degrees different than the reality. Get any and every expectation in writing! An email, something- about the location you'll work in, the hours, etc. Logically you would expect management to be somewhat accurate about your job, because why hire someone who will not be a fit or quit right away. But they need bodies in the jobs and retention of employees doesn't seem like a concern. Pay attention to little signs- I felt like there was some friction in the location I'm in at the interview but dismissed it, but there's been a lot of turnover and every employee in the office is looking at other jobsInterview Questions
Negotiation DetailsI asked for a base pay that I was told needed an exception to approve (not really higher than industry average so I don't know if that was true), but no push back and I got what I'd asked for. Background check was a mess- everything is through a contact center in India so expect to be asked for documents over and over again (past W-2s etc). Urine drug test required as the last step. I regret not asking for more clarity about the work environment (some branches have the majority of their clients who's primary language isn't English, so you'll automatically lose an opportunity to work with those clients if you don't speak their language) . The stated goals in the interview process were very different than the actual goals I learned of once I started workingAccepted OfferNegative ExperienceAverage Interview
- Nothing unexpected; typical interview questions. The pay structure was unexpected- HSBC pays everyone now a "discretionary" bonus v a bonus based on production numbers (of course, it really is about x numbers of products sold...). View Answer

Investing and Golf; Parallels, Pitfalls and Practical Advice From a Rehabilitated Golf Pro
Before entering the financial services field over twenty years ago, I was an award winning PGA golf instructor. Over the years, as someone who has worked in these two fields extensively, it strikes me that human nature seems to bring out some of the same detrimental behaviors in both golf and investing. It's a curious phenomenon that a sport most people participate in for leisure and the real need to invest for the future can see some of the same damaging habits. Those routines can create an end result that will frustrate both the well intentioned golfer/investor and challenge the most knowledgeable instructor/advisor. I want to spend a bit of time talking about these behaviors in hopes of creating some awareness and helping both investors and golfers get out their own way and become more successful.
Pitfall #1: Doing What "Feels" Right is Probably Wrong
Time and time again, I would watch golfers sabotage themselves by doing what felt good to them with no real understanding of cause and effect in their swing. For instance, golfers who slice the ball with their full swing often attempt to compensate for the slice by aiming further to the left (right handed players). While this may seem logical, in reality these people were only compounding their swing mistake by aiming incorrectly, which further "grooves" the mistake they were making by necessitating a slice. Golf can be thought of as a game of opposites' one has to hit down to make the ball go up, swing out to the right to make the ball curve left, and on and on and on.
Investors fall prey to the same kind of thinking. Individuals doing what feels right many times end up doing the wrong thing at the wrong moment in time. They sell at the bottom of a market downturn or they wait to buy in until the market is "doing better" and miss a large portion of the upturn. Some of the most successful investors in history have been contrarian investors - which means they go against the status quo thinking. Warren Buffet once said "Look at market fluctuations as your friend rather than your enemy. Profit from folly rather than participate in it."
Both golfers and investors would often be better off by doing what might feel wrong to them, as crazy as that sounds! The feel of the swing or the emotion of the market should take a backseat to a time tested proven strategy.
Pitfall #2: Succumbing to Short Term Thinking
I'm struck by how easily golfers get off track with what they are doing and bounce back and forth between an endless feedback loop of tips running through their brain. On one swing, they are "keeping their head down" but on the next swing, they are trying to "pivot and shift their weight". This volley between several swing keys will persist through an entire round. There is no rhyme and no reason to what they are trying to do. Many times these keys will not even apply to them!
In today's information age we are bombarded with endless information by magazines and 24-hour TV networks. Am I talking about golf or investing here? The answer is both! I have conversations with clients everyday that are trying to navigate through the chatter of non-stop investment pundits spewing forth data points like volcanoes. These clients have no idea whether or not this information applies to their situation but feel compelled to act based on the perceived urgency. In almost every case they have not done any research to see if the information is valid. but they hear so much of it that they can't help but wonder it's relevance to them.
The golfers that make the most progress have a clear cut plan for every aspect of their games. They take stock of where they are now, find out what they need to change from qualified instructors and then work to execute the plan so their game is exactly where they want it to be. They also re-evaluate on a timely basis and make changes to the plan as necessary. Interestingly enough, these are the exact steps we use when formulating financial plans for clients! Sticking with the plan that is tailored to your swing or your personal financial goals will always generate improvement in the long term. Don't let the tip-of-the-day move you off of a well thought out path to success.
Pitfall #3: Getting Information from Unqualified Sources
I can remember working with golfers, seeing them make improvements based on the instruction and then coming for their next lesson worse than where they started. I would ask what the heck had happened, and I would get an answer something like this; "Well, I was playing with my buddy Jim this weekend, and he said that I needed to do XYZ thing with my swing." When I would ask about their buddy's credentials as an instructor the answer was always the same. "Oh he is a terrible golfer, but he really knows a lot about the game.". Their buddy had no clue about what was good for them and their game and had ruined weeks or months of hard work we had done to help them improve.
Investors are prone to the same behavior. Imagine this conversation between me and a hypothetical client; Client - "I think I need more ABC type of investment." Me - "Why do you think that?" Client - "Well, I was at the dentist yesterday and my dentist says he has it and its doing really well." I'm sure the dentist meant well, but in his attempt to make small talk to distract you while he's drilling your molars, does your dentist know anything about your situation? Your goals? Your risk tolerance? Your current portfolio allocation and how ABC investment would fit into it? Of course not.
Like the golfer who gets sidetracked by a well-meaning friend, investors often fall into the trap of getting information from people who do not have any depth of experience in investing. Even those individuals that do know a little something about investing have no idea if the information they are dispensing is right for YOU. With your investments and your golf game you need to get your information from a qualified professional that knows you and your goals, and tailors the information they give you to help you achieve success. Financial professionals also have a fiduciary liability to give you information and recommendations that are in line with your personal situation.
Pitfall #4: Failure to be Realistic about Your Ability
If I had a dollar for every time I've played with an amateur golfers that hits too little club on an approach shot or tries to drive over a water hazard that they have no chance of clearing, my retirement plan would look a lot better! There is something about golf that causes our ego to get overly involved in our decision making. We end up hitting shots that have little or no chance of making it to the target.
Investors often make similar mistakes. Many people decide to make their investments on their own even though they don't have the appropriate time or knowledge. While some people do have success, studies show that the average investor has a terrible track record. According to a leading financial services study, the unmanaged S&P 500 Index earned 7.81% annually from 1990 to 2010, however the average individual investor only earned 3.49% annually (Smith, 2012) . Investors tend to overestimate is their tolerance for risk. It's easy to develop a false sense of bravado when the stock market is rising and start to invest too aggressively. This leaves the investor too exposed when the inevitable downturn happens and can lead to panic selling at market lows. Both golfers and investors need to be honest with themselves about their abilities. They just might see their golf scores go down, and their investment returns go up!
Pitfall #5: Focusing on the WRONG Things
Have you ever heard the old golf adage "you drive for show, but you putt for dough"? Statistically, about two-thirds of the shots played in golf happen within sixty yards of the hole. Like most instructors, I would find that the practice tee at courses and driving ranges would be packed but the short game practice areas often go unused. Golfers tend to spend ridiculous amounts of money on the latest or greatest driver while using putters and wedges they found in a friend's garage. If a golfer really wanted to lower their score, they would spend the vast majority of their practice time putting, chipping, pitching and hitting greenside bunker shots. Most golfers choose to practice parts of their game that make little or no difference in their ability to lower their score.
Investors are the same way. Very few people start investing as early as they should or are grossly underinsured. They spend money on many non-essential things but are reluctant to pay a professional to help them plan and monitor the financial aspects of their life. Here is an old investing adage that is also true and as wise as the golf adage I spoke of earlier - "The average person spends more time each year planning their vacation than they do their retirement."
So what is the moral of this story? Let me sum things up with five bits of practical knowledge:
1. Both golfers and investors need to be less concerned with physical and emotional comfort and do what it takes to improve. Stick with the time tested strategies.
2. Tuning out the short term noise and developing a long term plan to achieve goals is essential to both golfer and investors. Work with a professional to monitor the plan and make changes as necessary.
3. Golfers and investors need to avoid the trap of getting information from unqualified sources. What might have been a great swing improvement or investment for someone else might not be right the right information for you!
4. Golfers and investors need to be realistic about their abilities; be honest with yourself about the shots you can pull off and your ability to choose wise investments at the right time.
5. Lastly, golfers and investors need to focus on the right aspects to achieve success whether it is lower scores or reaching your financial goals. Getting help from a qualified professional can be crucial to this success!

Xie, Yu, and Alexandra Achen Killewald. 2012. Is American Science in Decline? Boston: Harvard University Press.
Alarmists argue that the United States urgently needs more and better-trained scientists to compete with the rest of the world. Their critics counter that, far from facing a shortage, we are producing a glut of young scientists with poor employment prospects. Both camps have issued reports in recent years that predict the looming decline of American science. Drawing on their extensive analysis of national data sets, Yu Xie and Alexandra A. Killewald have welcome news to share: American science is in good health.
Is American Science in Decline? does reveal areas of concern, namely scientists' low earnings, the increasing competition they face from Asia, and the declining number of doctorates who secure academic positions. But the authors argue that the values inherent in American culture make the country highly conducive to science for the foreseeable future. They do not see globalization as a threat but rather a potential benefit, since it promotes efficiency in science through knowledge-sharing. In an age when other countries are catching up, American science will inevitably become less dominant, even though it is not in decline relative to its own past. As technology continues to change the American economy, better-educated workers with a range of skills will be in demand. So as a matter of policy, the authors urge that science education not be detached from general education.
Country of focus: United States of America.

Does it work with iOS 7 on iPhone 5s
- Asked by Sandra D from Brisbane
- Oct 30, 2013
IZON View Camera
Product No Longer Available
3 Answers from the Community
These cameras work with iOS 7, but the app refreshes VERY slowly. Overall, if you have an older router that works in the 2.5 GHz range, the camera will work very well and reliably - IF there is not a lot of interference on that crowded spectrum in your area. In areas where there is a crowded 2.5 GHz spectrum, your camera will always disconnect within a day or so and it will need to be set up all over again.
The best camera for high resolution and reliability is a Dropcam HD (the black one). These cameras cost almost twice as much, but you most definitely get what you pay for. Customer service with the IZON is quite responsive, but their knowledge is relatively limited, and they often know less about the technicalities of their product than the people calling them.
Overall, the camera will work in a relatively isolated environment and it will be rock stable - but in a crowded environment like an office building or apartment - you may end up getting frustrated with it.

After the first big winter storm blanketed the state, people are now faced with tough task of digging out from several inches to more than a foot of snow in some areas. And that's what a lot of them were doing Thursday morning. Our Katie Husband spoke with a group of neighbors in Corning who say they don't go it alone, they band together.
CORNING, N.Y. -- "I'm shoveling. Just cleaning up," said Jerry Wozniak, a Corning resident.
"Shoveling out. I have to shovel my walk so I can take my dog out," said Jean Wenban, a Corning resident.
Everyone woke up to a winter wonderland Thursday morning, as the first snow storm hit the region.
And these neighbors are all doing the same thing and then some.
"We have some great neighbors here and what I typically do on a morning is do the sidewalks and maybe do the driveways," said Eben Weil, a Corning resident.
Weil helps out about five or six houses on the Corning block.
"So, you know, just trying to be a good neighbor to some great people," said Weil.
The 'great people' feeling was mutual when we talked to a neighbor across the way from Weil. "If we can't get to it someone else will jump right in and get their snowblower out clean our sidewalk and we'll do it likewise for them too," said Wozniak.
Weil says helping out is just helping out, he doesn't mind doing it because it's something he's done his entire life.
"As a farmer, I grew up on a family farm outside of town and we always helped people," said Weil.
Which seems to be no different than it is now for the Cayuta Street neighbors.
"We band together and try to get it done together," said Wozniak.
"Neighbors helping neighbors," said Weil.
No matter the storm, big or small, these neighbors will help clean up with and for each other.

What carbon sequestration efforts in a Kansas corn field can teach us about getting essential nutrients back into our food.
Photo by Ben Collins. Wikimedia Commons
Scientists maintain that a mere two-percent increase in the carbon content of the planet's soils could offset a large amount of greenhouse-gas emissions going into the atmosphere. In his book, Grass, Soil, Hope (Chelsea Green, 2014), author Courtney White walks readers through a series of low-tech carbon sequestration efforts already in use to help limit these emissions. In the following excerpt, learn about one such effort-no-till farming. This practice can increase the amount of carbon in the soil and therefore stimulate the production of essential nutrients in our food we need to thrive.
Buy this book from Chelsea Green: Grass, Soil, Hope.
Essential Nutrients
Cover Crop Workshop, Emporia, Kansas
It must have looked silly. Twelve of us were hunched over in a corn field under a blazing July sun, a few miles north of Emporia, Kansas, swishing butterfly nets among the corn stalks like deranged collectors chasing a rare breed of insect-deranged because it was a record-breaking 105 degrees! The federal government announced two days before I arrived that the Midwest was in the grip of the worst drought since 1956. Legions of farmers had begun plowing under or chopping up their stunted corn and soybean crops, already writing off the year as a complete failure. There we were, however, swishing our nets back and forth fifty times in a good-looking corn field owned and farmed by Gail Fuller, with nothing between us and the blazing sun except our determination to follow instructions and find spiders.
We found lots of spiders.
Back under the shade of a large oak tree, we handed our nets to our instructor, an affable entomologist with the US Department of Agriculture, who searched through them enthusiastically, pulling out spider after spider with his bare fingers (most spiders are poisonous, he told us, but very few can pierce human skin). Peering over his shoulder, I was amazed not only by the quantity of spiders in my net but by their diversity. I never knew so many odd-looking spiders existed! And who would have expected it from a corn field, in a record drought, during midday heat ... which was exactly the point of the exercise, of course.
In a conventionally managed, monocropped Midwestern corn field, planted with genetically modified (GM) seeds, fertilized with industrially produced nitrogen, and sprayed with synthetic chemicals, there would be no spiders, the entomologist told us- drought or no drought. There wouldn't be much of anything living, in fact, except the destructive pests that could withstand the chemicals. The corn field we had just swept, however, was different, and I knew why. Fuller's field was no-tilled, it had a cover crop (and moisture in the soil as a result), it didn't use GM seeds, its corn coexisted with a diversity of other plants, and livestock were used to clean up after the harvest-all the things I had learned in my travels so far. All in one field, all under a broiling sun.
