My doctors had a free "wellness" screening today. I went along and got some blood work done. I'm hoping someone can comment on the results as the explanation leaflet they gave is pretty basic "Under this = optimal". Also it says "eat a well balanced deit, low in fat" *rolleyes*
I've been following PB for about 2 months now so I wouldn't consider these successful/unsuccessful, but I'm interested in going back in 6-8 months and see how they change.
I had some blood work done at the start of the year, but I don't have the results on me to compare.

'Hit and Run' (English)
By Nandini Krishnan

'Hit and Run' (English)
Directors: Dax Shepard and David Palmer
Cast: Dax Shepard, Kristen Bell, Tom Arnold, Bradley Cooper, Kristin Chenoweth, Beau Bridges, Michael Rosenbaum, Jess Rowland
When 'Hit and Run' opens to Charlie Bronson (Dax Shepard), who appears to have either a tattoo or a skin disorder (or perhaps both), giving his partner Annie (Kristen Bell) a pep talk, I thought with some horror that I was actually about to watch a serious love story starring Dax Shepard.
But before Annie eventually wells up, they get sidetracked by an argument about hair-pulling and wrist-gripping.
I knew I was safe — for the next ninety minutes or so, there would be plenty of laughs, and little work for my brain.
The dialogue seems improvised, when they go on about how he's five years older and giggle about small pox and urinary-tract infection.
The first real indication of this being a not-so-normal film is when US Marshal Randy (Tom Arnold) 'ghost-drives' his car. In other words, he tries to shoot its tyres before it can run over two kids playing in a suburban yard.
Next thing we know, Gil (Michael Rosenbaum) and Randy are in hot pursuit of a runaway couple, for their respective attachments to its component halves.
It's obvious that the film is low-budget. Inevitably, it's lowbrow.
There's comic relief within the comic relief - such as the part where we find out how Charlie got both his names, one of which "sounds like a character from *Sesame Street*".
And then, there are times when we're not sure whether we're supposed to find something funny or horrifying - such as Alex Dimitri's (Bradley Cooper's) run-in with a fellow- customer at a departmental store.
Either way, we laugh.
The premise of the film is ridiculous. The relationships it forges between its barely-developed characters are bizarre. And it attributes such ridiculous eccentricities to them - the badass earnestly campaigns for canine rights - that they are almost believable.
It's obvious that nobody takes the script seriously, least of all the actors.
I think the longest shot in the film, and the longest discussion on any one subject, involves an amateur analysis of the relative femininity of males of various ethnic groups.
Throughout, there's a sense of there's-no-way-in-hell-this-could-actually-happen, but the film is populated by everyday events that make us relate to these weirdos, their crazy agendas, and their inane observations.
A movie that is unapologetically over-the-top demands music that is completely incongruous with the visuals, and Julian Wass provides that.
The film tries every now and then to get deep, with lines like, "You can either wallow in someone's past, or you can see the person standing right in front of you." But it mostly stays true to its genre, and doesn't trouble us with anything more than a single dimension, and practically no plot.
The Verdict: 'Hit and Run' is by no means an achievement of filmmaking, but it guarantees an hour and a half of mindless fun after a long day at work.

Ransomed Bride
By Jane Peart

Chapter One"Please, Captain, could you tell me where I might get the next stage to Williamsburg?"
Amos Dagliesh, master of the sailing vessel the Galatea turned his sea-weathered face to his questioner, one of the passengers on the ship that he had just brought safely across the Atlantic from England to the Virginia colony.
A frown deepened the line between his bristling, brick-red brows as he reluctantly took his attention from overseeing the unloading of cargo to the slender young woman looking at him with dark, anxious eyes.
He regarded her intently for a moment before answering.
The rose-lined bonnet that she was wearing framed a rounded oval face with a porcelain pink complexion. She had a small arched nose with tiny flared nostrils and her parted mouth, rosy and sweet, revealed pearly teeth.
He had been curious about her the whole trip. She had been a late arrival, boarding the ship with only an hour to spare before they had sailed. During the long journey she had kept to herself, never mingling with the handful of other passengers. Her ticket, identifying her as Miss Dora Carrington, had entitled her to one of the few single cabins and there she had remained, emerging only for meals and a twice-daily walk around the deck.
Their crossing had been fairly smooth, except for afew stormy days mid-ocean. Although several of the passengers had been seasick, the young woman had proved to be a good sailor.
In one rare instance when he had engaged her in conversation, she had told him she was going to relatives in America. Yet there had been no one to meet her when they docked in Yorktown harbor.
Strange! for such an obviously wellborn young lady to be traveling such a great distance alone. His frown increased almost to a scowl.
"You'll have to ask at the Inn, miss," he replied. "You'll find it easy enough-just up the hill from the dock. There's a sign. I'd have one of my men escort you, but as you can see, I cannot spare one just now."
The girl straightened her shoulders and looked in the direction he pointed.
"Oh, I didn't expect assistance, Captain," she said quickly. "Thank you just the same. I'm sure I'll find it with no trouble."
A practical Scotsman, Captain Dagliesh was not a man much given to idle curiosity, and yet he found himself following the slim figure of his departing passenger with narrowed, speculative eyes. Though simply dressed, he mused, she held herself like a princess, confident, composed for all her youth. This thought quelled the small prick of conscience he felt in not sending one of his officers to accompany her through the crowded seaport town.
Then some clamor below deck caught his straying attention, and he shrugged and resumed his command.
The object of the captain's speculation felt none of the confidence he had attributed to her. As she descended the gangplank, her heart was thudding within her, her pulses racing. Everything around her was new and frightening. She had never seen black people before, and the sight of the dock hands shouting to each other in an unintelligible lingo as they unloaded cargo was terrifying.
The heat of the Virginia sun this spring morning beat down upon her mercilessly as she picked her way carefully through the cluttered dock, holding her wide skirts with one hand while balancing a small wicker reticule with the other.
At the edge of the dock, she paused uncertainly. Accustomed to the cooler English climate, she dabbed daintily at the moisture on her upper lip with a lace-trimmed handkerchief. Then tucking one straying damp curl back under her bonnet, she squinted in the glaring sunlight toward the long hill she must yet climb.
Behind her loomed the tall ship from which she had just disembarked that for the last six weeks had provided her some small measure of familiarity, security. Ahead lay only an unknown future.
Fighting the tears that threatened, a spontaneous prayer welled up fervently: "O Lord, protect me, lead me, guide me in the way I should go." Her own words-but drawn from her well-learned Scripture. The Psalms had been her sustaining comfort and strength all through this perilous journey.
She bit her lip to keep it from trembling, then shifted her reticule to her other hand and started up the cobblestone street. As she neared the top she saw a rambling, slope-roofed building where a wooden sign swung on a post in front. That must be the Inn where she could obtain the information she needed.
Warm and breathless from the climb, she paused at the top and shielded her eyes against the dazzling sunlight. Looking forward she saw the figure of a stocky man, leaning against the doorframe of the entrance. He glanced up, regarding her curiously as she approached. But his countenance was cheerful, she noted with some relief, and his ruddy-complexioned face seemed kind. Sandy-gray hair was queued carelessly, and he was dressed in a homespun shirt, a worn leather vest, and stained breeches.
At her question about the stagecoach, he replied jovially, "You're in luck, miss. The stage for Williamsburg will be leaving within the hour. They're hitchin' up the team in my stables just now."
"Could I send someone to fetch my trunk of the Galatea just docked?" she asked, getting out her little drawstring purse and noting with alarm how light the contents were becoming.
"Shure! I'll send my boy fer it." The man extended his hand slyly.
Quickly she handed him a coin, which he took, fingering it and turning it over, squinting his narrowed eyes. "And in what name should the boy be askin' for the trunk, miss?"
Thus preoccupied, the innkeeper failed to notice her moment's hesitation.
"The captain will know. My belongings are in the name of passenger Dora Carrington," she answered quickly.

The symptoms of folliculitis, boils, and carbuncles may resemble other skin conditions. Always consult a physician for a diagnosis.
Diagnosis of folliculitis, boils, and carbuncles are made by a physician after a thorough medical history and physical examination. After examining the lesions, the physician may culture the wounds, which involves obtaining a sample of the drainage of the wound, allowing it to grow in the laboratory, and identifying the specific bacteria in order to help verify the diagnosis and select the best treatment.
The specific treatment for folliculitis, boils, and carbuncles will be determined by the child's physician based on the following criteria:
Treatment may include:
Carbuncles heal more slowly than a single boil. Keeping the skin clean helps to prevent these conditions from occurring.

Sometimes a mom's intuition is all it takes to get her child to the right physician. When 8-year-old Xavion Chisley developed a fungal infection on his toe, his mother, Nikki, immediately took him to see a dermatologist who removed his toenail to treat the infection. However, when Xavion's toenail grew back, the infection had not diminished but actually appeared to be spreading to his foot.

Seborrheic dermatitis, also known as cradle cap, is characterized by fine white scales on the head and scalp.
Skin color is determined by pigment (melanin) made by specialized cells in the skin called melanocytes. The amount and type of melanin determines a person's skin color.
Sunburn is a visible reaction of the skin's exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation, the invisible rays that are part of sunlight.
Skin parasites are small insects or worms that burrow into the skin to live there or lay their eggs.

Jake's Deli coming to Glendale
Jake's Delicatessen, a fixture on Milwaukee's north side since the 1950s, could soon be expanding beyond its central city location.
Jake's, known for its corned beef sandwiches, has filed plans to open a second store at Glendale Market shopping center, 6969 N. Port Washington Road.
Jake's would lease space that was formerly a Nick-N-Willy's Pizza, according to plans filed with the city. The take-and-bake pizza franchise closed about a month ago.
Also, Robert Haack Diamonds plans to open a new location at Glendale Market, in empty space next to Dr. Dawg's hot dogs.
An expansion of Jake's has been contemplated since a new managing partner, Gary Plassmeyer, last year joined Jake's, which has operated at 1634 W. North Ave. since the 1950s. The other owners are Major League Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig and Andrew Baer, who operates a Wausau beverage wholesaler.
The Glendale restaurant would reach a new customer base, Plassmeyer said. He said it also would have longer hours than the North Ave. restaurant, which doesn't operate during the evening.
Plassmeyer said the plans aren't final yet, but could result in the Glendale restaurant opening within six months.
He also said there are no plans to close the North Ave. restaurant.
"That one will always be there," Plassmeyer said.
The North Ave. building was a butcher shop in the early 1920s before the Cohen family took it over and opened a deli in either the late 1920s or early 1930s, Plassmeyer said. It was renamed Jake's after Jake Levin bought it from the Cohen family in 1953, he said.
The Glendale Plan Commission will review the proposal for the second Jake's at its Oct. 4 meeting.

Sisters are Doing it for Each Other — Reading, That Is (PHOTOS)Meredith Carroll
My little girls are funny. Neither can sit still for very long, and it's rare that they sit together and agree on anything. Peony, 1, has a hard time verbalizing what she wants, but her facial expressions usually say it all.
Petunia, 4, doesn't have a hard time conveying emotion through words. But she speaks a whole other language once the camera is turned on.
I looked over on Sunday and the two were sitting down quietly and flipping through a book together. It was a rare moment of quiet and cooperation. It was also short-lived. I don't think having a camera trained on them helped, but when you spot a unicorn, you have to do what you need to capture it on film.

Workers Comp Corner: Being mindful with contract helpSeptember 01,2014Employers, beware. While you think youve retained an independent contractor for a project, for workers compensation purposes you may have just hired an employee.
In order for a person in Vermont to be eligible for workers compensation benefits, an employer-employee relationship must exist between the injured worker and the employer.
This relationship is defined by statute which defines an employee as: An individual who has entered into the employment of, or works under contract of service or apprenticeship with, an employer. While the law may make exceptions in certain circumstances, generally the Department of Labor takes a broad view as to who is included as an employee. The decisions emphasize that the modern tendency is to find employment when the work being done is an integral part of the regular business of the employer, and when the worker, relative to the employer, does not furnish an independent business or professional service.
The Department of Labor utilizes two tests, either of them being sufficient, to determine if a person is an employee for purposes of the law. The tests are the Right to Control test and the Nature of the Business test.
First the department will consider whether the employer controlled the work of the alleged employee. The inquiry will examine whether: the worker supplies his own tools and place of work, whether the method of payment is by time or by job, whether the work is part of the regular business of the employer and what the length of the employment is. Some employers assume that if a person is characterized as an independent contractor for tax purposes, that leads to the same determination for the employment status. That is one potential piece of evidence in determining who controlled the work being done but it is not dispositive.
The Right to Control Test is a laundry list that can be used to determine who controlled the work being done. Here are some of the typical questions that are asked:
n Who controls the means and methods of the work performance?
n Does the worker hold his services out to the general public?
n Does the worker perform the task without supervision?
n Does the worker possess the required permits, licenses, and certificates?
n Is the worker doing business as a corporation or under an assumed business name?
n Does the work require extensive skill, education, or experience?
n Who establishes the routine or schedule?
n What is the duration of the relationship?
n What is the method of payment, whether by time or by job?
n Are taxes deducted or withheld from the workers check?
n Who determines the hours of work?
n Does the worker receive fringe benefits or bonuses?
n Who provides the equipment necessary for completion of the work task?
An employer who hires an independent contractor can review those questions to have a general idea of whether the Right to Control Test favors employee or independent contractor status.
However, the inquiry does not end if the business does not control the worker. The department also utilizes the Nature of the Business Test.This analysis involves a determination of whether the work the injured worker performed was the business, trade, or occupation of the employer. If the answer is that the work was the business, trade, or occupation of the enterprise, then the worker is an employee. If the work carried out was in the course of work normally carried out by a direct employee then the injured worker is an employee. This test is very broad and intentionally inclusive.
Some employers seek to exclude people from workers compensation thorough execution of a contract. However, the courts have held that even if a person has signed an agreement purporting to absolve an employer of liability, that person may be an employee under the Workers Compensation Act if he is performing work normally performed by a direct employee. The intent of the parties at the onset of the relationship may be irrelevant as the status may change over time.
Employers should exercise caution when hiring independent contractors.When it comes to workers compensation there may in fact be an employer/employee relationship.

All of the sudden, my drive rpm is getting reduced, without a change in the set point. We have replaced many isolators but the problem still persists. Does anyone have any suggestions here?
I just replaced a 75 hp fan motor due to the old one overloading and ground faulting. The issue I had tonight, and it only happened once, is I ramped up both supply and return fans and the new supply fan motor slowed itself down drastically all of a sudden. The VFD still read full rpm and amperage even though the motor slowed right down! I have never seen this before and need an explanation, please any info is muchly appreciated.
I installed a new Automation Direct VFD GS2-21PO.
I screwed up and wired the the input wrong. I put the 220V line where the 3-phase output is and it promptly shorted out with a bang. Now the unit is dead. What to do?
I have 28 permanent magnet, brushless AC motors operating on 230V with five different torque ratings. They are driven by their own individual drives, which are housed in a motor control center. Please suggest the ways to mitigate the voltage dip and sometimes false tripping that occurs when they are switched on.

Xiaomi Beats Samsung in Chinese Smartphone Market
By AP
Published: 08th August 2014 12:45 AM
Last Updated: 08th August 2014 12:45 AM
SEOUL: Xiaomi, a Chinese handset maker little known in the West, overtook tech giant Samsung Electronics Co. to become China's top-selling smartphone brand in the second quarter, a market research company said Tuesday.
According to Canalys, Xiaomi sold 15 million smartphones in China during the second quarter, more than a three-fold surge from a year earlier. It surpassed Samsung, which had the leading position in China for more than two years, as well as local brands such as Lenovo and Huawei.
During the April-June period, Samsung's China smartphone sales decreased to 13.2 million units from 15.5 million a year earlier. Lenovo trailed Samsung by a margin of 2 million units.
Xiaomi is little known in Europe or in North America because it sells nearly all of its smartphones in mainland China. But strong growth in China alone was enough to vault Xiaomi to a top five position among the world's smartphone makers from nowhere the previous year.
Last week, another market research firm Strategy Analytics said Xiaomi became the world's fifth-largest smartphone vendor for the first time in the second quarter, surpassing LG Electronics Inc.
Canalys said China was the world's largest smartphone market during the second quarter, with nearly four in every 10 smartphones sold there.
Jingwen Wang, an analyst at Canalys, said Xiaomi's rise was thanks to its competitive prices and focus on its own mobile software known as MIUI.
Samsung reported last week its lowest quarterly profit in two years for the second quarter, partly blaming a slowdown of cheap smartphone sales in China. Samsung said it faced higher competition from local brands and weaker demand for its 3G handsets as Chinese consumers shifted to 4G smartphones.
Samsung and Apple Inc. were the only non-Chinese vendors among the top 10 smartphone brands in China. Apple sold 6.8 million iPhones in the second quarter, up 58 percent from over a year earlier, Canalys said.

Look! A Printer For Your Latte
She says,
I saw a demonstration of a new technology that prints custom artwork right on top of your latte foam! The inventors repurposed a standard inkjet printer, replacing the ink with caramel syrup. We printed the logo for our latest project, but you could use a photo, or draw your own sketch on a tablet right there. Nerdy and tasty at the same time!
We are agog. We've seen the amazing art that talented baristas "draw" on their lattes using foam and a spoon, but this printer threatens to put them out of business. Look out barista artists - the OnLatte machine is coming for your job! Well, maybe not; there will always be a place for artisans. Besides, this is still a prototype. • See more images of the OnLatte printer at the OnLatte blog (Images: OnLatte)

But with the front office making a new commitment to the running game with the signings of Julius Jones and T.J. Duckett, it is a sign that perhaps the passing game will not be stressed as much this year, in part because the Seahawks have little experience at the position.
Yes, they have Bobby Engram, a 13-year vet who had a career year last season. And they have Nate Burleson, who emerged as a big-play threat last year. But Branch is likely out for at least the first eight games with a knee injury, and Hackett now has Carolina on his mind.
Which means the Seahawks are going to rely on the emergence of one or two of four players: Logan Payne, Ben Obomanu, Courtney Taylor or Jordan Kent.
The coaching staff loves Taylor, a second-year player from Auburn who has good size, speed and hands. Obomanu also is from Auburn and has exhibited the ability to get open.
Payne was so impressive in practices that the team signed him to a three-year deal off the practice squad last year. And Kent is a former track speedster who has breakaway ability but questionable hands.
When Holmgren goes to his three-receiver set, and Engram and Burleson are across from each other, it will be up to one of the unproven commodities to make Hasselbeck feel comfortable with his new corps of receivers.
--The Seahawks made a new proposal to cornerback Marcus Trufant recently, coming somewhere between the $7 million a year it initially offered and the $9 million a year that Trufant was asking in the wake of the Asante Samuel contract with Philadelphia. The sides still have not come to an agreement, but Trufant's stance will only be strengthened with DeAngelo Hall agreeing to a contract with Oakland that will average around $10 million a season.
The Seahawks' stance all along has been that Trufant is not worth the type of money that cornerbacks are receiving in today's market. But clearly this is a new paradigm with contracts at the position, and Trufant became an elite player when he was named to his first Pro Bowl last season.
In fact, one NFL personnel man who asked not to have his name used said that Trufant was the top target on their free-agent list because of his attitude and talent level.
--The Seahawks attended the Pro Day at the University of Texas recently, which makes sense since the Longhorns have running back Jamaal Charles, tight end Jermichael Finley and wide receiver Limas Sweed. The Seahawks have needs at all three positions.
--Former Seahawks wide receiver Darrell Jackson was cut by the San Francisco 49ers last week. He was a favorite of Mike Holmgren. However, there is almost no chance the Seahawks re-sign Jackson, who general manager Tim Ruskell traded to the Niners for a fourth-round pick. Jackson wore out his welcome in Seattle with a poor attitude and bad practice habits.
--Former Seahawks safety Michael Boulware, who the Seahawks traded to Houston last year for defensive end Jason Babin, signed with Minnesota.
--When Brett Favre retired, former teammate Matt Hasselbeck was asked if he had any stories about Favre being a jerk. He told about a time that Favre was on the practice field before practice, and while special teams players were running down the field practicing coverages, Favre was chipping golf balls over their heads. A coach called over Favre, and the entire team thought Favre was going to be chewed out. Hasselbeck, standing within hearing distance, said the coach asked Favre, "What do you think of the game plan this week?"
--When kicker Josh Brown left the Seahawks for the St. Louis Rams in free agency, he told a local radio station, "This decision was about winning." The Seahawks have won four straight NFC West championships while the Rams were 3-13 last season.
--RBs Shaun Alexander and Maurice Morris both flew into Seattle recently to meet with the coaching staff about their roles now that the team has acquired T.J. Duckett and Julius Jones.
--The Seahawks hired Kasey Dunn as their running backs coach, the final hire to fill out Mike Holmgren's staff. Dunn has spent the past 15 years as a college coach, his last job as wide receivers coach for Maryland. He held an internship with the Seahawks in 1993.
QUOTE TO NOTE: "It's all good." -- Shaun Alexander on his feelings about his future with the Seahawks after they signed T.J. Duckett and Julius Jones.
The Seahawks likely need to make a decision on cornerback Marcus Trufant, with whom they are close on a contract but still have philosophical differences. Trufant continues to have his argument enhanced because DeAngelo Hall became the third corner being paid more than $9 million a year. Beyond that, the Seahawks are up against the cap, and signing Trufant to a long-term deal will give the team flexibility in free agency, where they still need to fill several positions.
1. Tight end: Starter Marcus Pollard is a free agent and will not be back. The team signed Jeb Putzier, but
he is projected as a third tight end. Will Heller is No. 2, which means the
team needs a starter. It is likely to address that need in the draft after losing
Alge Crumpler to Tennessee.
2. Defensive line: Rookie Brandon Mebane filled in admirably for the injured Chuck Darby, who just signed with Detroit. The return of Marcus Tubbs is uncertain, which means the team needs more depth at the position. Some mock drafts have the Seahawks taking Kentwan Balmer in the first round.
3. Kicker: Josh Brown departed for St. Louis via free agency, meaning the Seahawks have nobody to do the job. There are not many prospects on the free-agent market, and there are not many in the draft. The Seahawks are likely to draft one in the sixth or seventh round and then invite veterans to camp to battle it out.

It is one of the great investing secrets...
It doesn't get much attention, partly because it doesn't have a catchy name, but it's the key factor that helps the rich get richer.
I'm talking about compounding your dividends.
I know, I know... it's not the sexiest thing to talk about. And it's definitely not what most investors want to hear.
But rather than send you off chasing the latest fad in the market, we believe in telling our readers the truth about what it takes to be successful in the stock market over the long haul.
The truth is that dividend payments generated by a modest investment might seem inconsequential at first, but through the magic of compounding, it won't take long before they can begin to make a dramatic impact.
You see, when you buy shares of dividend-paying stocks, the dividends they pay can be used to purchase more shares, leading to increasingly larger dividend checks. These larger checks can then be used to buy even more shares and so on. In time, even a small stake in such stocks can grow into a tidy sum.
Let me show you just how powerful dividend compounding can be.
Let's say you buy 1,000 shares of XYZ Corp for $10 each -- that's $10,000 invested. If XYZ pays a 5% dividend yield, you would expect to receive $500 in dividends in the first year.
Now, rather than simply pocketing that $500, imagine if you purchased 50 more shares instead.
Of course, those 50 new shares would then generate dividend payments of their own.
So if you reinvested your dividends and left your investment alone for the second year, your 1,050 shares would generate a little more than the first year -- $525 in dividends.
If you reinvested those dividends to buy 52 more shares for the third year, your 1,102 shares (1,000 + 50 + 52 = 1,102) would pay you even more -- $551 in dividends.
Fast forward through 30 years of dividend reinvestment and your original 1,000 share stake in XYZ would have more than quadrupled to 4,322 shares.
Of course, that's a simplistic example. You would hope your shares would gain value over time rather than just stay at $10 per share.
So to complete this example, let's say XYZ's stock price gains 8% per year since your original $10,000 investment and you reinvested your dividends every year. How much would you make?
As the chart below shows, this steady compounding process can yield amazing results over the long haul.
As you can see, your original $10,000 investment would have swelled to more than $391,000, without ever adding another penny!
But what would have happened if you didn't reinvest dividends? The stock would still be worth about 10 times more than what you paid, thanks to capital gains. But without any reinvestment you would have only collected a measly $15,000 in dividends and you'd be left with the same 1,000 shares.
Granted, this is just an example, but the results are clear. Successful investing for the long haul is really nothing more than a game of compounding by earning a consistent return and reinvesting your profits back in the market over and over again. There are no shortcuts.
But here's the fun part... When your portfolio is large enough, you can stop reinvesting and live off the dividends as a second income.
It's worth pointing out that at the end of the 30-year period, the $391,000 portfolio would be generating annual dividend payments of roughly $19,550 (5% dividend yield X $391,000 = $19,550). In other words, your annual dividend income alone would amount to nearly twice your initial $10,000 investment.
Compounding gives you more time to enjoy life. You don't have to be glued to CNBC or your computer screen, looking for the next "hot" stock. And you don't have to worry about what's going on in China or Russia -- your portfolio remains largely unaffected.
The magic of compounding is most powerful when an investor focuses on established companies that throw off a steady stream of dividends. Simply find dependable companies that pay steadily rising dividends, reinvest your payments, and let the math take care of the rest.
That's why I'm telling readers of my High-Yield Investing newsletter about 23 American companies I've found that have unlocked their private pension plans to non-employees. These little-known "Second Income Plans" harness the power of dividend compounding to maximize returns over time. And unlike traditional retirement plans, they don't require you to wait until retirement age to withdraw from them. To learn more, I invite you to view this brand-new report.

I'm working on a content compiler that will take my raw input assets and convert them into resources for loading into my engine. The actual conversion is easy and I've already got it working fine. The problem is that one input file (a PSD image for example) can produce multiple output files (each layer of the PSD as a separate DDS texture if that option is enabled). This part is working fine too, but I need to figure out how to clean the resources up when the input file is deleted. I don't want to have to re build all the assets every time a file is deleted/renamed/whatever. I just want to be able to delete the multiple outputs from the one asset file, and rebuild that single file. How would you recommend going about tracking the outputs? I already have a metadata file for per-asset options, but using that to track outputs seems like it would be fragile to any changes made in Windows Explorer while the content compiler wasn't running.

I don't currently have this feature implemented (i.e. if I delete an input file, it's outputs still continue to exist until next time I force a full rebuild by deleting the compiled data directory).
However, I have the build-system maintain a central database of records of all the work it's done. Whenever a file is built, the input and output file-names, time-stamps and hashes are stored in this database, along with the version number of the data-compiler plugin that was used.
At the moment this lets me check if an input file has been modified, and then find all outputs that were built using that input file, so they can be re-built.
To implement your feature, I could check if an input file no longer exists, find all the outputs that were built using it, and delete them.
When I start up my tool, I scan the entire content directory checking file-names and time-stamps, which is extremely fast, and lets you detect any missing or modified files. I then subscribe to events about any changes to that directory, so the tool is notified of modifications/creations/deletions while it's running.

Please note that this piece was written during September 17 and 18 and is not a response to Toronto Pride's statement of September 20.
"In a large number of societies, being brown still means occupying that middle space, on the cusp of whiteness and on the edge of blackness." Kamal Al-Solaylee, Brown.
I signed up as a volunteer for the recent Pride parade in Toronto two days after the massacre in Orlando. News reports had come out that there were some who feared joining the festivities this year. That didn't sit well with me. I'm a part time student and I was registered to two university courses this summer. Working full time and being deeply involved in my family left very little time for much else. But I thought setting aside six hours on a Sunday to help at the parade was the least that I could do this year.
My shift started at 9 am. To my surprise, I was not given a supervisory role even though I had indicated in the volunteer registration form that I wanted that role. This wasn't my first time volunteering as a parade marshal. My past experience, I thought, qualified me to lead. Instead, my supervisor was a young white woman. I didn't even realize she was my supervisor until I started asking around among the other volunteers. She didn't introduce herself to anyone new who showed up.
We were assigned to the vehicle float staging area along the Rosedale Valley. Another Pride volunteer gave my supervisor the list of the floats. When asked if she knew what to do with the list, she said she didn't. They gave her instructions to divide the floats among the volunteers. I gave her a pencil since she needed one to write with.
There were several other volunteers I had met that day. I also got to know the people at the floats. Meeting new people is probably one of the best things about working at the Parade. You get to know people in the community. People who are part of non profit organizations. These NPOs serve the community as a whole.
"Simply nodding or smiling at someone is the least I can do. But there seemed to be a wall between this dude and I. The only difference he and I had, as far as I could see, was that he was white and I was Filipino. He had a corner office, and I had a desk in a space I shared with a few others."
I also ran into a co-worker. That was interesting. I smiled when I saw him walking towards me. I got nothing from him. He just walked past me. This is a guy that I've seen at the office again and again. He and I have never had any real interaction at work since he started over a year ago. I realize that we can be busy at times, and so we can keep our head down and not engage with other people. But I personally try to acknowledge everyone at work that I may walk past. We're on the same boat, after all. Orlando. Simply nodding or smiling at someone is the least I can do. But there seemed to be a wall between this dude and I. The only difference he and I had, as far as I could see, was that he was white and I was Filipino. He had a corner office, and I had a desk in a space I shared with a few others.
So imagine my surprise when I saw him from afar. He and I were at the same parade. Very cool. He was going to be riding at one of the biggest floats representing a big social media company, and I was a volunteer. Same parade, different ways of involvement. But I got nothing from him. There was even a point where we were a mere few feet from each other, waiting in line at the portable washroom. He saw me and he turned his back. Did not turn around the whole time.
A smoking hot fuck buddy was also marching that day. He said he wanted to give me a big kiss when we meet at the parade. I thought it was a great idea. Two Asian guys making out in the middle of the parade was exactly what I wanted. Certainly not something I've ever done before. The thought of me, an HIV positive person, being kissed in the middle of the parade was nice.
Two of the volunteers I had met told me that they really wanted to leave their position and go to the Liberal party float. I told them to let me know first if they did leave so that I could cover their positions. Noon was approaching and I was hungry. I asked my supervisor what we were going to do with lunch. Will Pride get food to us, or will we have to go back to the volunteer check-in to eat? She did not know. I looked at the radio on her waist and wondered if she knew how to use it. I gave her my granola bar when she told me that she didn't eat breakfast and was starving.
Pizza came soon after and was distributed among the volunteers. As I sat and ate with another volunteer, the owner of a clothing store with a float at the parade came up and started talking to us. He was joined by a photographer (who, I later found out, is a really good one known to many people). We shared jokes and stories. This is what I mean about volunteering: people engage with you.
Finally, the word came that the parade had started. All the float drivers were notified and asked to get behind their wheels. Music blared. Float riders got into positions. Slowly, the floats moved forward.
The group of floats I was assigned to were still at the Rosedale Valley when it was time to observe a moment of silence at 3 pm for Orlando. To be standing in silence among the trees at the Rosedale Valley with other people was eerie. And incredibly sad, humbling. Making me remember what I was there for in the first place. Music and people came to life after the observance. The parade moved on.
Then it stopped again. I distributed bottled waters to the parade goers while dodging water guns aimed my way. Eventually, some of them asked me why the parade wasn't moving. I had no radio, and my supervisor was nowhere to be found. So I walked from the end of the parade to the front where I flagged another volunteer on a bike. He told me that Black Lives Matter Toronto had staged a sit-in, but it's been resolved and the parade was about to move shortly.
I took that script and went to every float driver along the parade to let them know what I'd been told. I can't count how many times someone responded with "Will they (Black Lives Matter Toronto) be invited back again next year?" Again and again, my response was, "We'll be moving shortly."
Slowly, the parade did start moving. As I managed to get one float into the parade, I kept going back to guide the others in to it. Eventually, the same volunteer who was on a bike told me to enter and walk the parade with a specific float and he'll stay behind to guide the few floats remaining. I noticed that the float that I was walking with had a sign that read "Black Spaces Matter." I asked one person who was riding on the float what it meant. I've heard of Black Lives Matter, but what were "Spaces"? The woman told me that it had something to do with Black Lives Matter, but, she quickly added, "We didn't know they were going to do this." I simply nodded and kept walking.
My shift was only supposed to be until 3 pm. I clocked out at 6:30. I told my buddy that I was going to have to take a rain check on that kiss. I headed home, too tired and exhausted to join in the festivities.
Tucked in to my bed, I went on social media and read the reports on what happened. Hijacked. Ruined. Spat in the face of their hosts. I thought, "Oh dear…" Then went to bed.
At work the following Monday, three of my co workers got into a long discussion about what had happened at Pride. This was an interesting mix of individuals talking about the issue, I thought. All three are straight. One white woman, two black guys. One guy sounded like he was asking a lot of the questions (let's call him Uno). The woman (let's call her Dos) and the other guy (let's call him Tres) made it very clear that they disagreed with what the black folks did at the parade.
"It inconvenienced a lot of people. You don't just show up at someone's parade and ruin it," said Dos.
"They're out of their minds," said Tres.
"Don't you think they have a right to stand up for what they believe in?" asked Uno.
"They need to get their own parade," came the response from Dos and Tres.
I stayed quiet. I felt uneasy, as if I wanted to say something, but I didn't know what. The discussion trailed off and everyone eventually went back to work.
I usually go to the library after work to study and work on my assignments. But I didn't get anything done that evening. I was glued to social media, reading the articles about what had happened.
Tuesday came and I was back at work. In the afternoon, Tres asked everyone if we've read the open letter that the gay police officer wrote to Pride Toronto.
"That's all that needs to be said! That's the only thing that needs to be said about the issue. Poor guy," said Tres.
Really? A white man's voice is the ONLY one that needs to be heard? I thought. Heart pounding, I said "I was there working at the parade on Sunday."
Dos asked, "Were there a lot of people?"
"Yep. I was only supposed to work until 3, but I had to stay much later because of the sit in." I felt nervous.
"See? There you go. Even Miguel's day got ruined."
I mumbled something about the whole thing being ok, but I don't think they heard me. I kept thinking, "That's it? That's all you can fucking say?!" I don't know if I was talking to my coworkers or to myself.
"When Alexandria said, "Don't boo! How dare you boo? We fought for you! We threw bricks for you! We got locked up for you! How dare you?" – I began to cry. Right there, at the coffee shop."
I was at a coffee shop that evening, intending to study. But I could not stop reading what was being said on social media. All the hate being thrown to the black community was sickening. Eventually, I watched the video that Black Lives Matter Toronto put up on their social media page. When Alexandria said, "Don't boo! How dare you boo? We fought for you! We threw bricks for you! We got locked up for you! How dare you?" – I began to cry. Right there, at the coffee shop. Tears streamed down. I stuffed my laptop into my backpack and headed home, still crying.
When I got home, I went upstairs and gave my sister and brother-in-law a big hug. It felt like I haven't seen them for awhile. My three-year old nephew said, "Uncle Miguel busy."
I gave him a big hug too before heading to my room to rest for the night.
The following morning, I took the opportunity again to speak up when the subject was revisited by the same group of coworkers. I told them, especially to Uno, about the 1981 bathhouse raids. I told them about Stonewall, and how black people and people of colour were at the centre of the uprising, and that there wouldn't be a Pride movement if it weren't for black folks. "I didn't know that," Uno said.
"They have no right to be deciding who can and cannot march at the parade," said Tres.
"And you don't just show up at someone else's party and do something like that," said Dos.
"They – we - have every right to do that. And yes, that white gay police officer's letter is heart breaking. His voice needs to be heard and honoured," I said. "And, other people's voices need to be heard and honoured too. The families of the thousands of murdered and missing indigenous women need to be heard. The sex workers' voices need to be heard too."
Rage. That's what I was feeling. But I maintained my calm by consciously focusing on my breathing. Speak clearly and calmly, I told myself. Stay reasoned and open.
I urged them to go look at the nine demands that were agreed to at the parade. Each and every demand is meant to build a strong and inclusive community, I thought. Uno seemed surprised that there were actually nine demands. I pointed out how funny it was that we were only talking about demand number eight.
"What would happen if we put the most vulnerable people in our community at the centre of the movement? Would the high rates of violence, homelessness, addiction and disease go down? It's worth a try," I said.
"They're racists against white people. They refused to sell their t-shirt to a woman because she was white. Would they also refuse to sell their t-shirts to my daughter because she's mixed? And one of their members tweeted something about white people," said Tres.
"What did she say?" asked Dos.
"She said she wanted to kill them."
"She needs to be punched in the throat!" came the quick response from Dos.
Or slap her. Or kick her. Or, better yet, lynch her! Isn't that what we do around here? I wanted flip my desk and scream.
Remember all of the times when Dos lent you a hand when you couldn't keep up with work. Remember when she laughed the hardest at a joke you made two weeks ago.
"Nothing will happen. Even other Black Lives Matter organizers criticized them for what they did at Pride. They'll fail and they'll look like idiots," said Tres, a statement laced with derision.
I smiled and said, "Well, this queer person of colour will show up at the town hall. I'll be there!" I was fired up and could've continued talking about it longer. But we all needed to get back to work.
There was another co-worker who sits beside me. She had stayed out of the conversations throughout the week. She's my counterpart in the company. We have the same job title. She trained me and for the better part of my first year working at the company I worked closely with her. We didn't always get along. Different ways of doing things caused friction between us. But for the past year or so she and I had grown very close, to the point where we were now part of each others' social media network. We finished each others' sentences and we could shoot each other a certain look and start laughing from an unspoken inside joke.
The subject of superiority based on skin colour came up during one of our chats the following Thursday. I had told her that the LGBT community can sometimes be divided between different lines.
"Wait a minute, does your community have…hierarchies?" she asked.
"Yes," I said.
"So you're saying that you're fighting the same battle that I, as a black woman, has to fight against?" her voice rising.
I leaned closer and said, "Last Sunday made me realize that, buddy, we're the same…"
"Same?!" She was visibly shocked. She looked like I just splashed her face with ice-cold water.
"Oh my god…I need tissue…" She got up from her chair and raced to the washroom as tears came.
Oh great…that's just great.
I made another woman cry. This time, it wasn't because of my devastatingly good looks.
I followed and stood at the hallway just outside of the washroom to wait for her. When she finally came out, we hugged each other before going back to the office.
"I don't know why I'm so emotional," she said with a laugh.
"That's exactly how I've been feeling the past couple of days."
Outrage was what I felt that Thursday night as I watched the murders of Alton and Philando on social media. This time, the murders felt personal. Very personal.
Then, Dallas happened. For the first time since I last used crystal, I went to bed in fear.
I woke up Friday morning and started bawling even before I got up. I felt the effects of lack of sleep from the last several days. I felt the effects of sadness, exhaustion, disillusionment, and despair. I emailed my manager telling her I couldn't come to work that day. It was my first sick day for 2016. I called my counselor at ACT for a session. Thankfully, Fridays was drop-ins.
The dinner table at home has become a space for all kinds of conversations with my family, a space for those opinions to be challenged, questioned and fought for. It's where my mom would tell us about what it was like to be a nanny in the early 90s. It's where my dad talked about being accosted by drunk people at a downtown Toronto park. It's where I told the story of when a homeless man on Yonge Street called out to me and said, "Yo, Jackie Chan! Got $0.50?" It's also where we expressed our concerns for terrorism as Canada opened its doors to more refugees and immigrants.
Go ahead and read that last sentence again.
A fellow Asian friend recently asked me if I've ever faced discrimination. Aside from minor incidents here and there, I think that my situation is actually not so bad. I'm good. Call it my Filipino privilege. I'm thought of as hard working, obeying the rules. As much as I think of myself an idiot who barely knows what he's doing in life, at least I don't get stalked by the police, despite what my psychosis kept telling me during my years of crystal use. I know and believe that I have self-determination. I'm the one running my own show. But many many many others do not have the same experience. This year's Pride taught me that that is my problem too.
It is my problem because I share a lineage with many people, including those who are criminalized. Those who are violated. Those who are over-policed. And yes, I also share kinship with those who stalk the most vulnerable. Those who close their doors to the needy. Those who stay unmoved for fear of rocking the boat.

Migration, Transnationalism and Religion
Central to my research is the theoretical framework of transnationalism and diaspora. I have explored the question of transnationality through the medium of commodity cultures focusing on the arena of food and fashion in Britain and South Asian through ESRC funded research with colleagues Peter Jackson (Sheffield) and Phil Crang (RHUL).
My current work explores the transnational geographies of new suburban faith spaces in the UK and Canada. Research funded by Metropolis British Columbia in collaboration with David Ley (UBC ) and Justin Tse (UBC) explores the evolution of a suburban religious landscape in the suburb of Richmond, Vancouver. Work in London, some undertaken in collaboration with David Gilbert (RHUL) and Bindi Shah (Southampton), explores 'faith in suburbia' though a comparative historical and inter-faith perspective. This work has also involved collaboration with photographer Liz Hingley and local faith communities on a photography project and exhibition 'Faith in Suburbia'.
Geographies of race, racism and ethnicity
My research in this area has been concentrated on Muslim identities in Britain and the challenges for debates about multiculturalism posed by the presence of Islamic minorities within Europe. I have published on the debates surrounding the building of Muslim schools; the identities of young Muslim men and women; representations of Islam in the public sphere. Work in this area was funded under the Leverhulme funded project on Migration and Citzenship, a joint initiative between the Migration Research Unit and the Centre for Ethnicity and Citizenship at Bristol University.
Further work on religion and multiculturalism is now being undertaken in collaboration with UCL colleagues through the Negotiating Religion Series funded by UCL's Grand Challenge of Intercultural Interaction
Geographies of gender and feminist geography. My main research interests are in the intersection of gender, ethnicity and religion, particularly in relation to Islam and the ways in which migration processes are gendered. I am also interested in the development of feminist methodologies. I am currently on the International Geographical Union (IGU) Commission on Gender and Geography Steering Committee.
I am a member of the department's Transnational Spaces Research Group and Co-Director of the Migration Research Unit.
Collecting: Knowledge in Movement, Octagon Gallery, UCL I am a member of the joint curating team (with colleagues Margot Finn, Kate Smith (UCL History) and Ulrich Tiedau, Stefanie van Gemert (UCL Dutch) for this public exhibition which opens in the Octagon Gallery January – June 2014.
Faith in Suburbia: a shared photographic journey. Funding from by a Beacon Bursary from UCL (2012-3) has enabled the realization of a collaborative photography project with photographer Liz Hingley (funded by a Leverhulme Artist in Residence Grant) and senior citizens from six different faith communities in West London. The resulting exhibition was shown in the South Cloisters at UCL (December 2012-February 2013) and then at the Gunnersbury Park Museum in Ealing (February 2013-June 2013) and is on tour to participating places of worship in West Ealing from September 2013. Public talks were given at the exhibition at Gunnersbury Park Museum in February 2013 as well as a UCL Lunch time lecture (February 2014). The exhibition was covered in the press (Church Times, Ealing Gazette, Ealing Today, Third Way) and online (http://www.culture24.org.uk ; http://suburbs.exeter.ac.uk/virtual-exhibitions/faith-in-suburbia/) and visited by a wide range of local community groups and school groups, for whom I wrote a special worksheet suitable for KS2.
My award from the Leverhulme Trust for an Artist in Residence in the Migration Research Unit at UCL has enabled me to collaborate in a range of additional public engagement activities with the photographer Liz Hingley. I worked with Liz on her photography project 'Spiritual Objects Studio' which was shown in Paris (Febuary 2012), Austin, Texas (June 2012) and UCL (February 2013). I also spoke at a seminar at the Host Gallery in London on 'Photographing Faith' (16th March 2011) which accompanied Liz's exhibition 'Under gods' and at a public seminar, University of Sussex (March 2013) 'Collaborations between artists and academics'.
Anchor and Magnet is a collaborative project with three artists funded by the Arts Council, including UCL architecture doctoral student, Katie Beinart, which explores the migration histories of Brixton (http://anchorandmagnet.wordpress.com/). I am an academic advisor for this project and have participated at community events and given a talk at their flagship public event Brixton Exchange (1st February 2013).
For my ongoing research project, Faith in Suburbia I have been collaborating with architect Ali Mangera (http://www.myaa.eu/) particularly with regard to the Salaam Centre currently under construction in Harrow. In addition to co-presenting a paper at the One Day in City Event (UCL, June 2012), I spoke at a seminar 'Integration and the City' organized by Mangera for Architecture Foundation in London and the Danish Architecture Centre.
As Co-Director of the Migration Research Unit http://www.geog.ucl.ac.uk/research/transnational-spaces/migration-research-unit at UCL I have organized a number of events to engage wider publics with migration research at UCL. These have included the staging of On a Clear Day you can see Dover and Asylum Monologues by theatre company Ice&Fire followed by a panel discussion with Ice and Fire director and migration policy groups, a key event in UCL's inaugural Migration Week (March 2011), the premiere of the film The Golden Temple followed by a discussion with the director and cultural critics (February 2013) and keynote lectures by Professor Heaven Crawley (March 2013) and Professor Peggy Levitt (March 2010). In addition I inaugurated the first UCL Migration Photography Competition (in association with the UCL Environment Institute in my role as Co-Director, Migration at the UCL EI) in April 2013.
My work on transnational fashion has also been presented at a range of external venues including at the Victoria and Albert Museum (2009, 2011) and at the Royal College of Art (2010) to diverse audiences from both academia and the fashion industries. Some of these talks have been done in collaboration with fashion designer, Liaqat Rasul. I also contributed a chapter for the book British Asian Style (2010, Victoria and Albert Museum) in collaboration with the museum photographer, John Chase.
My work on multiculturalism and migration has been published as policy documents for the Boll Foundation http://www.migration-boell.de/web/integration/47_3501.asp) and for Metropolis Canada http://mbc.metropolis.net/assets/uploads/files/wp/2013/WP13-06.pdf

Chiropractic Initiative Act Defeated.
—The chiropractic practice act submitted to the voters of Arizona, November 8, on the initiative of a small group of chiropractors, was, according to the latest available report, defeated by a vote of 21,000 to 11,000. The chiropractors of Arizona already have their own examining and licensing board. They sought, through the act just defeated, to procure the removal of all limitations now imposed on the methods of diagnosis and treatment employed by chiropractors. In other words, they sought to be converted by a vote of the people into unlimited practitioners of medicine. The act was designed, too, to deprive the legislature of authority to regulate the practice of chiropractic, and to exempt chiropractors

Saturday night's UFC 136 in Houston, Texas proved to be a very exciting night of fights for MMA fans.
In the main event, UFC Lightweight champion Frankie Edgar finally put his saga with Gray Maynard to rest as he finished the challenger to retain his belt.
In the co-main event, UFC Featherweight champion Jose Aldo kept his title by taking the unanimous decision against long time UFC veteran Kenny Florian.
Despite only three bouts ending in finishes, UFC 136 still provided many interesting fights.
Here are the top five performances from Saturday's event.
