Yahoo Terms of Service
Welcome to Yahoo. Yahoo! Asia Pacific Pte. Ltd. (Co. Reg. No. 199700735D) ("we" and "us", as the case may be) provides the Service (as defined below) to you, subject to the following Terms of Service ("TOS"). These TOS are applicable even if you do not have an account with Yahoo, and your use of Yahoo services means that you consent to these TOS. We may update or modify the TOS in our sole discretion from time to time without notice to you, including by publishing changes on or via the Service, and you agree that your continued use of the Service after such update or modification will constitute your acceptance of and agreement to be bound by the updated or modified TOS. You are responsible for ensuring that you fully understand the most current version of the TOS at all times, and you may access the current version at any time at: https://info.yahoo.com/legal/sg/yahoo/utos/en-sg/details.html. In addition, when using particular Yahoo owned or operated services, you and Yahoo shall be subject to any posted guidelines or rules applicable to such services, which may be posted from time to time. All such guidelines or rules (including but not limited to our Privacy Policy and Intellectual Property Rights Policy, as they may be updated from time to time by postings on this website) are hereby incorporated by reference into the TOS. In most cases the guidelines and rules are specific to a particular part of the Service and will assist you in applying the TOS to that part, but to the extent of any inconsistency between the TOS and any guideline or rule, the TOS will prevail. Yahoo and/or its holding, parent, subsidiary or related companies may also offer other services that are governed by different Terms of Service , in which case the TOS do not apply to such other services if and to the extent expressly excluded by such different Terms of Services.
Yahoo provides users with access to a rich collection of resources, including various communications tools, forums, shopping services, search services, personalized content and branded programming (the "Service") through its network of properties which may be accessed through any various medium or device now known or hereafter developed , including but not limited to the World Wide Web, mobile telephone or communications services (such as SMS (Short Message Service)), and/or other Internet or telecommunications services or protocols (such as WAP (Wireless Application Protocol)). You also understand and agree that the Service may include advertisements and that these advertisements are necessary for Yahoo to provide the Service. You also understand and agree that the Service may include certain communications from Yahoo, such as service announcements, administrative messages and the Yahoo Newsletter, and that these communications are considered an integral part of Yahoo membership and you will not be able to opt out of receiving them unless you terminate your account. Accordingly, you are deemed to have irrevocably consented to receiving such communications on an ongoing basis so long as you maintain your account. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, any new features that augment or enhance the current Service, including the release of new Yahoo properties, shall be subject to the TOS. You understand and agree that the Service is provided "AS-IS" and that Yahoo assumes no responsibility for the timeliness, deletion, mis-delivery or failure to store any user communications or personalization settings. You are responsible for obtaining access to the Service, and that access may involve third-party fees (such as Internet service provider or airtime charges). You are responsible for those fees, including those fees associated with the display or delivery of advertisements. In addition, you must provide and are responsible for all equipment necessary to access the Service.
Unless expressly stated otherwise, no information presented in the Service or in connection with any products and services forming part of the Service shall be deemed as a binding offer by us or the relevant third party, but may constitute an invitation for you to place an order. In respect of contracts for our or any third party's products and services which are made available as part of the Service, these shall be deemed concluded when we or the relevant third party have accepted your order for the same or have provided you with the product or service pursuant to your order.
Please be aware that Yahoo has created certain areas on the Service that are restricted from general viewing and you must fulfill the specified conditions to access and view such areas.
In consideration of your use of the Service, you represent that you either: (i) are of legal age to form a binding contract and are not a person barred from receiving the Services under the laws applicable to your location or other applicable jurisdiction, or (ii) have obtained the prior consent of your parent or legal guardian to use the Service subject to and in accordance with the TOS.
You also agree to: (a) provide true, accurate, current and complete information about yourself as prompted by the Service's registration form (the "Registration Data") and (b) maintain and promptly update the Registration Data to keep it true, accurate, current and complete. If you provide any information that is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, or Yahoo has reasonable grounds to suspect that such information is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, Yahoo has the right to suspend or terminate your account and refuse any and all current or future use of the Service (or any portion thereof). Yahoo is concerned about the safety and privacy of all its users, particularly children. However, please remember that the Service is designed to appeal to a broad audience. Accordingly, if you are a parent or legal guardian, it is your responsibility to determine whether any of the Services and/or Content (as defined in Section 6 below) are appropriate for your child. Similarly, if you are a child, you are required to obtain the consent of your parent or legal guardian before using or accessing any of the Services and/or Content.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, we may provide you with access to some parts of the Service without you registering as a user. In that case, your identification is based on other means of identification that we deem appropriate. In appropriate cases, identification may be based on data identifying your mobile telephone or communications subscription, such as your subscription number or MSISDN (Mobile Service Integrated Services Digital Network) number provided by your network operator. You agree that such information may be collected and disclosed to us and used in accordance with the TOS, including our Privacy Policy described below.
Registration Data and certain other information about you is subject to our Privacy Policy which is incorporated by reference into and made a part of this TOS. By giving or making available the Registration Data and such other information about yourself to us, you agree and acknowledge that we may use or release such information to third parties as specified in the Privacy Policy, and that you give consent to such use or disclosure. You further agree that providing us with your Registration Data and/or using the Service, you expressly request to receive and consent to receiving communications and materials from Yahoo from time to time. For more information, see our full privacy policy at https://policies.yahoo.com/sg/en/yahoo/privacy/index.html. You understand that through your use of the Service you consent to the collection and use (as set forth in the Privacy Policy) of this information, including the transfer of this information to the United States and/or other countries for storage, processing and use by Yahoo and its affiliates.
You will receive a password and account designation upon completing the Service's registration process. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of the password and account and are fully responsible for all activities that occur under your password or account. You agree to (a) immediately notify Yahoo of any unauthorized use of your password or account or any other breach of security, and (b) ensure that you exit from your account at the end of each session. Yahoo cannot and will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with this Section 5.
You understand that all information, data, text, software, music, sound, photographs, graphics, video, messages, tags, or other materials ("Content"), whether publicly posted or privately transmitted, are the sole responsibility of the person from whom such Content originated. This means that you, and not Yahoo, are entirely responsible for all Content that you upload, post, email, transmit or otherwise make available via the Service. Yahoo does not control the Content posted via the Service and, as such, does not guarantee the lawfulness, accuracy, integrity or quality of such Content. You understand that by using the Service, you may be exposed to Content that is offensive, indecent or objectionable. Under no circumstances will Yahoo or our licensors, suppliers, vendors, parent, holding, subsidiary or related companies, affiliates, officers, agents or employees, as the case may be, be liable in any way for any Content, including, but not limited to, any exposure to offensive, indecent or objectionable Content, any errors or omissions in any Content, or any loss or damage of any kind incurred as a result of the use of any Content posted, emailed, transmitted or otherwise made available via the Service.
You agree to not use the Service to:
(a) upload, post, email, transmit or otherwise make available any Content that is unlawful under the laws applicable to the relevant Service, harmful, threatening, abusive, harassing, tortious, defamatory, vulgar, obscene, pornographic, libelous, invasive of another's privacy, subversive, hateful, or racially, ethnically or otherwise objectionable or contrary to public interest, public order or national harmony in all relevant jurisdictions;
(b) harm minors in any way;
(c) impersonate any person or entity, including, but not limited to, a Yahoo official, forum leader, guide or host, or falsely state or otherwise misrepresent your affiliation with a person or entity;
(d) forge headers or otherwise manipulate identifiers in order to disguise the origin of any Content transmitted through the Service;
(e) upload, post, email, transmit or otherwise make available any Content that you do not have a right to make available under any law or under contractual or fiduciary relationships (such as inside information, proprietary and confidential information learned or disclosed as part of employment relationships or under nondisclosure agreements);
(f) upload, post, email, transmit or otherwise make available any Content that infringes any patent, trademark, trade secret, copyright or other proprietary rights of any party;
(g) upload, post, email, transmit or otherwise make available any unsolicited or unauthorized advertising, promotional materials, "junk mail," "spam," "chain letters," "pyramid schemes," or any other form of solicitation, except in those areas (such as shopping) that are designated for such purpose;
(h) relay email from a third party's mail servers without the permission of that third party;
(i) use "robots" or otherwise harvest others' email addresses from the Yahoo site for purposes of sending unsolicited or unauthorized material;
(j) upload, post, email, or transmit the same message, URL, or post multiple times;
(k) upload, post, email, transmit or otherwise make available any material that contains software viruses or any other computer code, files or programs designed to interrupt, destroy or limit the functionality of any computer software or hardware or telecommunications equipment;
(l) disrupt the normal flow of dialogue, cause a screen to "scroll" faster than other users of the Service are able to type, or otherwise act in a manner that negatively affects other users' ability to engage in real time exchanges;
(m) interfere with or disrupt the Service or another person's use of the Service or servers or networks connected to the Service, or disobey any requirements, procedures, policies or regulations of networks connected to the Service;

(p) "stalk" or otherwise harass another;
(q) commit any fraudulent or unlawful act, whether in relation to any third party provider of products and services on the Service or otherwise and/or
(r) collect or store personal data about other users in connection with the prohibited conduct and activities set forth in paragraphs a through q above.
You acknowledge that Yahoo may or may not pre-screen or filter Content, but that Yahoo and its designees shall have the right (but not the obligation) in their sole discretion to pre-screen, refuse, move or remove any Content that is transmitted or made available via the Service. Without limiting the foregoing, Yahoo and its designees shall have the right to remove any Content (whether or not provided by you) that we believe in good faith may be unlawful or violates the TOS or that has been alleged to infringe any intellectual property or that is otherwise objectionable in our sole opinion, without being liable to you in any way for any loss or damage arising from such removal. You agree that you must evaluate, and bear all risks associated with, the use of any Content, including any reliance on the accuracy, completeness, or usefulness of such Content. In this regard, you acknowledge that you may not rely on any Content created by Yahoo or submitted to Yahoo, including without limitation information in Yahoo Groups or Yahoo Answers and in all other parts of the Service.
You acknowledge, consent and agree that Yahoo may in its sole discretion access, preserve and disclose your account information and Content if required to do so by law or in a good faith belief that such access preservation or disclosure is reasonably necessary to: (a) comply with legal process and law enforcement or other government requests; (b) enforce the TOS or evidence our rights or defend ourselves; (c) respond to claims that any Content is unlawful or violates the rights of third parties; (d) respond to your requests for customer service; or (e) protect the rights, property or personal safety of Yahoo, its users and the public.
You understand that the technical processing and transmission of the Service, including your Content, may involve (a) transmissions over various networks; and (b) changes to conform and adapt to technical requirements of connecting networks or devices.
You understand that the Service and software embodied within the Service may include security components that permit digital materials to be protected, and that use of these materials is subject to usage rules set by Yahoo and/or content providers who provide content to the Service. You may not attempt to override or circumvent any of the usage rules embedded into the Service. Any unauthorized reproduction, publication, further distribution or public exhibition of the materials provided on the Service, in whole or in part, is strictly prohibited.
When you register with Yahoo, you acknowledge that in using the Services to send electronic communications (including but not limited to email, search queries, sending messages to Yahoo Groups, uploading photos and files to Flickr, and other Internet activities), you will be causing communications to be sent through Yahoo's computer networks, different portions of which are located in different jurisdictions. As a result, and also as a result of Yahoo's network architecture and business practices and the nature of electronic communications, even communications that seem to be intrastate or domestic in nature can result in the transmission of interstate or cross-border communications regardless of where you are physically located at the time of transmission. Accordingly, by agreeing to this Terms of Service, you acknowledge that use of the service results in interstate and cross-border data transmissions.
Yahoo Messenger, including any web-based versions, will allow you and the people with whom you communicate to save your conversations in your Yahoo accounts located on Yahoo servers. This means you can access and search your message history from any computer with access to the internet. Whether or not you use this feature, other users may choose to use it to save conversations with you in their account on Yahoo too. Your agreement to this TOS constitutes your consent to allow Yahoo to store these communications on its servers. From time to time Yahoo may send you notices through the Yahoo Messenger Service to let you know about important changes to the Yahoo Messenger or related Services. Such messages may not be received if you violate this TOS by accessing the Service in an unauthorized manner. Your agreement to this TOS constitutes your agreement that you are deemed to have received any and all notices that would have been delivered had you accessed the Service in an authorized manner.
Recognizing the global nature of the Internet, you agree to comply with all local rules regarding online conduct and acceptable Content. Use of the Yahoo Services and transfer, posting and uploading of software, technology, and other technical data via the Yahoo Services may be subject to the export and import laws of the United States, Singapore and other countries. You agree to comply with all applicable export and import laws and regulations, including without limitation the Export Administration Regulations (see http://www.access.gpo.gov/bis/ear/ear_data.html) and sanctions control programs of the United States (see http://www.treasury.gov/resource-center/sanctions/Programs/Pages/Programs.aspx). In particular, you represent and warrant that you:
(a) are not a prohibited party identified on any government export exclusion lists (see http://www.bis.doc.gov/complianceandenforcement/liststocheck.htm) or a member of a government of any other export-prohibited countries as identified in applicable export and import laws and regulations;
(b) will not transfer software, technology, and other technical data via the Yahoo Services to export-prohibited parties or countries;
(c) will not use the Yahoo Services for military, nuclear, missile, chemical or biological weaponry end uses in violation of U.S. and/or Singapore export laws; and
(d) will not transfer, upload, or post via the Yahoo Services any software, technology or other technical data in violation of U.S., Singapore or other applicable export or import laws.
Yahoo does not claim ownership of Content you submit or make available for inclusion on the Service. However, with respect to Content you submit or make available for inclusion on publicly accessible areas of the Service, you grant Yahoo the following worldwide, royalty-free, transferable and non-exclusive license(s), as applicable:
(a) With respect to Content you submit or make available for inclusion on publicly accessible areas of Yahoo Groups, the license to use, distribute, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, broadcast, publicly perform and publicly display such Content on the Service solely for the purposes of providing and promoting the specific Yahoo Group to which such Content was submitted or made available. This license exists only for as long as you elect to continue to include such Content on the Service and will terminate at the time you remove or Yahoo removes such Content from the Service.
(b) With respect to photos, graphics, audio or video you submit or make available for inclusion on publicly accessible areas of the Service other than Yahoo Groups, the license to use, distribute, reproduce, modify, publish, broadcast, adapt, publicly perform and publicly display such Content on the Service solely for the purpose for which such Content was submitted or made available. This license exists only for as long as you elect to continue to include such Content on the Service and will terminate at the time you remove or Yahoo removes such Content from the Service.
(c) With respect to Content other than photos, graphics, audio or video you submit or make available for inclusion on publicly accessible areas of the Service other than Yahoo Groups, the perpetual, irrevocable and fully sublicensable license to use, distribute, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, broadcast, translate, publicly perform and publicly display such Content (in whole or in part) and to incorporate such Content into other works in any format or medium now known or later developed.
(d) "Publicly accessible" areas of the Service are those areas of the Yahoo network of properties that are intended by Yahoo to be available to the general public. By way of example, publicly accessible areas of the Service would include Yahoo Answers and portions of Yahoo Groups that are open to both members and visitors. However, publicly accessible areas of the Service would not include portions of Yahoo Groups that are limited to members, Yahoo services intended for private communication such as Yahoo Mail or Yahoo Messenger, or areas off of the Yahoo network of properties such as portions of World Wide Web sites that are accessible via hypertext or other links but are not hosted or served by Yahoo.
(e) You acknowledge that by transmitting or making available Content through the Service, you are assuming the risk that others may reproduce or otherwise make use of the Content. You agree not to hold Yahoo liable for any third-party reproduction or use made of such Content, whether or not you have consented to such reproduction or use.
By submitting ideas, suggestions, documents, and/or proposals ("Contributions") to Yahoo through its suggestion or feedback webpages, you acknowledge and agree that: (a) your Contributions do not contain confidential or proprietary information; (b) Yahoo is not under any obligation of confidentiality, express or implied, with respect to the Contributions; (c) Yahoo shall be entitled to use or disclose (or choose not to use or disclose) such Contributions for any purpose, in any way, in any media worldwide; (d) Yahoo may have something similar to the Contributions already under consideration or in development; (e) your Contributions automatically become the property of Yahoo without any obligation of Yahoo to you; and (f) you are not entitled to any compensation or reimbursement of any kind from Yahoo under any circumstances.
You agree to indemnify and hold Yahoo and its parent, holding, subsidiary, affiliated and related companies, officers, agents, employees, partners, suppliers, vendors, co-branders, licensors harmless from any claim or demand, including reasonable attorneys' fees, made by any third party due to or arising out of Content you submit, post, transmit or otherwise make available through the Service, your use of the Service, your connection to the Service, your violation of the TOS, or your violation of any rights of another or your breach of any applicable law.
You agree not to reproduce, duplicate, copy, sell, trade, resell or exploit for any commercial purposes, any portion of the Service (including your Yahoo ID), use of the Service, or access to the Service.
You acknowledge that Yahoo may, in its sole discretion, establish general practices and limits concerning use of the Service, including without limitation the manner in which the Service is used, the maximum number of days that email messages, message board postings or other uploaded Content will be retained by the Service, the maximum number of email messages that may be sent from or received by an account on the Service, the maximum size of any email message that may be sent from or received by an account on the Service, the maximum disk space that will be allotted on Yahoo's servers on your behalf, and the maximum number of times (and the maximum duration for which) you may access the Service in a given period of time. In particular, but without limiting the foregoing, by using the Service, you consent to our adoption of the practices set forth at https://policies.yahoo.com/sg/en/yahoo/privacy/index.html in relation to your use of the Service. You agree that Yahoo has no responsibility or liability for the deletion or failure to store any messages and other communications or other Content maintained or transmitted by or made available through the Service. You acknowledge that Yahoo reserves the right to log off accounts that are inactive for an extended period of time. You further acknowledge that Yahoo reserves the right to modify these general practices and limits from time to time, in our sole discretion, with or without notice, and you agree that your continued use of the Service after such modification will constitute your acceptance of and agreement to be bound by the modified general practices and limits.
Yahoo reserves the right at any time and from time to time to modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, the Service (or any part thereof) with or without notice. You agree that Yahoo shall not be liable to you or to any third party for any modification, suspension or discontinuance of the Service.
You agree that Yahoo may, under certain circumstances and without prior notice, immediately terminate the agreement formed by this TOS and terminate your Yahoo account, any associated email address, and access to the whole or any part of the Service. Cause for such termination shall include, but not be limited to, (a) breaches or violations or purported breaches or violations of the TOS or other incorporated agreements or guidelines or of applicable law, (b) requests by law enforcement or other government agencies, (c) a request by you (self-initiated account deletions), (d) discontinuance or material modification to the Service (or any part thereof), (e) unexpected technical or security issues or problems, (f) extended periods of inactivity, (g) our good faith belief that you are using or intend to use the Service to engage in fraudulent or illegal activities, and/or (h) nonpayment of any fees owed by you in connection with the Services. Termination of your Yahoo account includes (a) removal of access to all offerings within the Service, including but not limited to Yahoo Mail and Yahoo Messenger, (b) deletion of your password and all related information, files and content associated with or inside your account (or any part thereof), and (c) barring of further use of the Service. Further, you agree that all terminations for cause shall be made in Yahoo's sole discretion and that Yahoo shall not be liable to you or any third party for any termination of your account, any associated email address, or access to the whole or any part of the Service.
In the event that we terminate your account, any associated email address or access to the whole of the Service, then the TOS shall immediately terminate in relation to the same, save that the Privacy Policy, the IP Policy, this Section 15 and Sections 9, 10, 11, 12, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26 and 27 of this TOS shall survive any such termination and shall continue to apply.
The Service may also include access to products and services of independent third parties either directly or via links to sites operated by such third party advertisers. Your correspondence or business dealings with, or participation in promotions of, advertisers found on or through the Service, including payment and delivery of related goods or services, and any other terms, conditions, warranties or representations associated with such dealings, are solely between you and such advertisers, even where it is in relation to any products or services that are co-branded with us which may include our trademarks . You agree that Yahoo shall not be responsible or liable for any loss or damage of any sort incurred as the result of any such dealings or as the result of the presence of such advertisers on the Service.
The Service may provide, or third parties may provide, links to other World Wide Web sites or resources. Because Yahoo has no control over such sites and resources, you acknowledge and agree that Yahoo is not responsible for the availability of such external sites or resources, and does not endorse and is not responsible or liable for any Content, advertising, products or other materials on or available from such sites or resources. You further acknowledge and agree that Yahoo shall not be responsible or liable, directly or indirectly, for any damage or loss caused or alleged to be caused by or in connection with use of or reliance on any such Content, goods or services available on or through any such site or resource.
You acknowledge and agree that the Service and any necessary software used in connection with the Service ("Software") contain proprietary and confidential information that is protected by applicable intellectual property and other laws. You further acknowledge and agree that Content contained in sponsor advertisements or information presented to you through the Service or by advertisers is protected by copyrights, trademarks, service marks, patents or other proprietary rights and laws. Except as expressly authorized by Yahoo or advertisers, you agree not to, and not to permit or authorize others to, modify, rent, lease, loan, sell, distribute or create derivative works based on the Service or the Software, in whole or in part.
Yahoo grants you a personal, non-transferable and non-exclusive right and license to use the object code of its Software on a single computer; provided that you do not (and do not allow any third party to) copy, modify, create a derivative work from, reverse engineer, reverse assemble or otherwise attempt to discover any source code, sell, assign, sublicense, grant a security interest in or otherwise transfer any right in the Software. You agree not to modify the Software in any manner or form, nor to use modified versions of the Software, including (without limitation) for the purpose of obtaining unauthorized access to the Service.

They go doubly for you. In addition, for this type of information particularly, the phrase "Let the investor beware" is apt.

You agree that you are solely and absolutely responsible for all trading or investment decisions made by you. Yahoo and its licensors shall not be responsible or liable for the accuracy, usefulness or availability of any information transmitted or made available via the Service, and shall not be responsible or liable for any trading or investment decisions based on such information.

iHELP Offers College-Planning Resources To Help Students Navigate Issues Surrounding Financial Investment of College Degrees
Washington, D.C. (March 28, 2013)—The Independent Community Bankers of America ® (ICBA) and iHELP today announced that iHELP has expanded its services to prospective higher-education students to include college-planning resources such as scholarship information, cost comparisons between universities and regional salary statistics for a variety of career options through a new website, www.ihelploan.com.
"ICBA is pleased to work in conjunction with iHELP, a company dedicated to helping students and their families make informed decisions about higher education. These resources will help students identify numerous resources to help them pay for tuition, including private student loans, and also help them to plan future career paths by identifying relevant courses of study and associated regional salaries," ICBA Executive Vice President of Services Dan Clancy said.
iHELP views higher education as a personal and financial investment. College-planning tools, such as search-and-comparison features, help students identify colleges that suit their individual needs by location, rankings, and specialty subjects, then compare colleges side-by-side to review lifestyle factors, admission requirements, tuition costs, and more. Students and families can also utilize several calculators to estimate the cost of living while in college, the amount of money available through scholarships and federal aid, and the future value of the degree. If students determine that they will require a private student loan, the application for an iHELP student loan is available through more than 50 local community banks and online.
"Deciding how you will finance your education should be part of a broader equation that considers the cost of college and the salary outlook for a given profession," said iHELP program executive Kevin Moehn. "At iHELP, we encourage students and their families to use our new site as a financial literacy and planning resource. It is important that students know what kind of return on investment in higher education they might expect."
About ICBA
The Independent Community Bankers of America®, the nation's voice for nearly 7,000 community banks of all sizes and charter types, is dedicated exclusively to representing the interests of the community banking industry and its membership through effective advocacy, best-in-class education and high-quality products and services.

"This is perfect!! I can't wait to get started on my own cute little kitchen herb garden...when I get my own place, that is"
"Very intresting of what projects can be done with tp. We use them a lot for projects with children and this one will be this week project. Though, i think the colors can be more traditional with green and red or maybe golden colors with the green tree. I am sure the children will chose the traditional, but personally i like this one. Can be placed in any wall and every season."
"How cute are these fun and colorful little birds! I really like how easy they are to make. Can you really make a flamingo like mulberrygalprinces s says you can? That would be so cute to make. I love the idea of making several kinds of birds. My stepdad loves birds, so I can see making all kinds of these for him to add to the christmas tree or just to decorate the house."
"What a fun and festive way to use up a pile of paper clips that you never use! I love that you made them in various colors. I think it is so neat to use magnets on them too. You could use them to hang pictures from on a refrigerator or file cabinet."

The Best Things To Do With Toilet Paper Rolls
- Wrap up your cords and wires and stick them in cardboard tubes to help with organization and storage.
- Stuff them with candy and sweets and close off the two ends to create a fun candy popper.
- Close off one end by gluing a piece of paper to it and use the toilet paper rolls to hold makeup brushes, markers, pencils, pens, and little office supplies.
- Cover them in peanut butter and then roll in bird seed. Hang outside and you've got an easy and inexpensive bird feeder.
- Turn them into colorful napkin rings.
- Cut them into 2" pieces. Color or decoupage them as you see fit. Then cut them open and make a paper chain to hang for a party.
- Create musical instruments by covering one opening with paper or fabric, filling the tube about 1/4 full with beans or rice, and then covering the other opening. These are great for classrooms!
- Wrap yarn around them to help keep it organized and untangled.
- Use them to store paint brushes or gluesticks.

I have been saving my toilet paper empty rolls and also my paper towel rolls for this! I'm so excited that there are crafts for children as well as adults. I'm preparing to create a wall hanging using my toilet paper and paper towel rolls that is the size of at least 18x24. The instructions are clear and the pictures are very detailed. I love this.

I think most of the projects I've seen have been more geared toward children. Though, if it held enough sophistication, I don't see why TP rolls can't be used for adults as well.

I made this four panel wall art with paper towel and toilet paper rolls. It took some time, but the results were well worth it. After completing, I spray painted them with a bronze-y brown paint. No one can believe they were once TP rolls.

This is ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS! I definitely can't believe this was made out of TP rolls. Great job!
Mar 01, 2016
I also use these to wrap my yarn ends around when I only have a few feet left. I cut a slit in one end to hold the yarn onto the tube, wrap it around and secure the other end in a slit-no more unraveling and snarling in my yarn bag!

These, whichever you prefer, toilet paper or papertowel empty rolls can be covered, (inside & out if you prefer), stuffed w/toys, tickertape, etc. wrapped in foil, or your choice of leftover wrapping, tied at each end & made into holiday poppers.

You could always spray them with antibacterial spray and then paint with acrylic varnish when dry. That way they can be wiped over with antibacterial wipes as often as you wish.

Honestly, if someone gave my child a "toilet paper roll stuffed with treats", I would throw it in the garbage. Neither would I consider them sanitary for napkin rings. Why not use paper towel or plastic wrap holders, cut in half, instead?
Melissa Ryan
Mar 31, 2014
You can easily use paper towel rolls, too! Whatever works for you!

I agree with BeaderOne and I just posted the same thing about the EColi as well. I would never use them for food or anything going from hand to mouth. Use Wrapping Paper Rolls or Plastic Wrap Rolls or from Foil....just sayin'

It's just wrapped candies! My elementary school did this as a fundraiser for our Quebec trip. Wrap the roll in tissue paper, tie the ends with ribbon, fill with candy. They were always a huge hit.

I have 3 more uses for toilet paper or paper towel rolls. I put my kitchen tongs in one so it takes up a lot less room in the drawer. I also store my plastic bags in them. Keeps them in tight quarters. If I'm transporting a large, sharp knife (vacation, cookout), the tubes keep the knife safely tucked away. Bettilou Niedermeier

My favorite thing for which to use them is seed starters. Cut them in half. tie a group together with binders twine, set into a tray, fill with seedling mix and plant your seeds for the garden. You can untie them and plant tube and all, thereby not disturbing the roots of the young plants.

Melissa, glad to see you used my favor use for tissue rolls. Sometimes I cut them in half and decorate the rolls before pulling a cord in them. Also use paper towel rolls when traveling. Can put my curling iron w/cord in side and do not have to worry about the cord getting tangles in something. There are a lot of uses for both kinds or rolls in and around the house.
Apr 28, 2012
Not sure where you got your paper, mine still comes on a cardboard roll. Never seen it on a plastic roll.

Jefferies adds again to senior equities ranks
US investment bank Jefferies has made two more senior hires to its equities division following the appointment of UBS's former head of equity distribution in the Americas, which came to light earlier this week.
Bill Bell, a former global head of equities electronic distribution at Barclays, has left the UK bank to take up a similar role at Jefferies, according to two people familiar with the situation.
He is to join Jefferies in a similar role, following a period of gardening leave, the people said.
Bell first joined Barclays in 2008, and before that he spent 15 years at Lehman Brothers, most recently as its head of equities electronic distribution for the Americas.
The bank has also hired Frank Copplestone as its global head of equity structured products, one person familiar with the situation said. He had worked at Jefferies on a consulting basis since late last year, the person said, and prior to that he was at Morgan Stanley
Earlier this week, Financial News reported that Matt Foulds, the former head of equity distribution in the Americas at UBS, was to take up a global sales role at Jefferies.
The new hires are set to join Jefferies after a strong fiscal quarter in equities for the US investment bank. The bank announced in mid-March that equities revenues had increased to $188.8 million in the three months ending February 28, up from $167.4 million during the same period a year earlier.
Jefferies' chairman and chief executive Richard Handler said in a statement at the time: "Our results reflect another strong performance in investment banking, with revenues in excess of $400 million for the second successive quarter, and a solid performance in both equities and fixed income."

Skip to comments.The Sad Irony of Affirmative Action
Posted on 03/07/2013 12:10:59 PM PST by neverdem
In 2003, the Supreme Court held that the University of Michigan's law school could substantially relax its admissions standards in order to admit a "critical mass" of African-American and Hispanic students. Many observers interpreted that decision Grutter v. Bollinger as an open-ended embrace of affirmative action.
The University of Texas was among the many universities emboldened to ramp up its use of race-preferential admissions policies. In 2003, the university already had in place an admissions policy designed to raise the number of under-represented minority students attending its flagship campus in Austin by admitting the "top 10%" of the graduates of each Texas high school without regard to SAT scores. Soon after the Grutter decision, however, the university announced that it was still dissatisfied with the diversity of the student body at Austin, 21% of which was composed of under-represented minorities (16.9% Hispanic and 4.5% African-American), and that the school would be implementing race preferences to boost that diversity. Under the new policy, the proportion of the student body composed of Hispanics and African-Americans rose to 25%.
The result was a lawsuit. The plaintiff Abigail Fisher is a young woman from Texas whose academic credentials were good, but not quite up to the standards that whites and Asians must meet in order to gain admission. They were, however, above those necessary for African-American and Hispanic students. Fisher, who is white, was rejected, and wound up attending the less prestigious and (for out-of-state students) more expensive Louisiana State University. Her case Fisher v. University of Texas was argued before the Supreme Court in October. It will be decided sometime in the coming months.
The Court may decide Fisher on narrow grounds. There are several dimensions along which the University of Texas's race-preferential admissions policies are more aggressive than those in Grutter...
(Excerpt) Read more at nationalaffairs.com ...
"Affirmative Action" was one of America's first Marxist wealth redistribution programs. Communism's camel nose.
One of the first things you discover is that "diversity" means "black". Only.
For years,and years,and years my first thought when I see a black or female doctor,lawyer,cop,fireman,etc,etc is..."would this person,with the *exact* same qualifications,have been admitted/graduated/hired if he/she was both male and white?"
When I was in law school (top 25 at the time) not a single african american graded onto the law review....in the entire 3 years that I was there....Some were allowed to sit on the law review because the "wrote" onto it.
Later, at my law firm, 3 of the first year associates were black...none made it to partner despite the firm pulling out all of the stops to help them achieve...the firm even hired a writing tutor for a black woman WHO HAD WRITTEN ONTO THE LAW REVIEW. You can't make this stuff up.
It's wrong and illegal to classify people by race. Even if there's a law that requires it, the law is invalid.
That's the sad part of the whole thing. Undoubtedly, lacking affirmative discrimination, nobody would have cause to doubt the qualifications of any person of whatever color. But now all non-Asian, minority professionals have the stigma of being a possible affirmative-action selection. Their chances of earning respect are severely diminished. That does not mean every underqualified minority will turn out to be a failure at what they do. But affirmative discrimination is no way to go about selecting the most competent people.
I think the important distinction from the studies in this essay is that blacks consistently underperform whites in academic pursuits, but that should not be a reason to modify testing metrics or otherwise set the bar lower for one section of society over another. It's simply a way to say that we should never cater to the lowest common denominator but instead push those underachievers to reach for loftier goals. At one point during this read, I would say that the author was promoting the idea that the lowering of the bar for blacks and Hispanics has actually been to their detriment. They know they don't have to aspire to anything but the line at which the standard exists, and as such, they only do as much work as is necessary to make it there.
The social climate in the black community is a bigger problem, I believe, as it's often the case the black children who are overachievers at a young age are not fostered the same way as white overachievers. The enrollment numbers in gifted programs across the nation are overwhelmingly positive for whites yet lack any true diversity among races. This, I believe, is not an anomaly but a statistical truth, as it's been historically held and understood that whites outperform blacks in school, regardless of social matters. Quite the contrary, in today's social world, it seems that black children are castigated by their social peers for overachieving. They're called "house niggers" or "Uncle Tom's" by people of their own race. Meanwhile, whites who overachieve are lauded and celebrated while average or subachievement is neither cast down or otherwise noted as exceptionally concerning. Perhaps the social stigmas attached to race are such that parents and friends of white underachievers are content knowing that "Little Johnny will get a job somewhere, I just know it."
All of that aside, I think the decision in this case before SCotUS will land firmly abreast the fence, neither rendering a decision considered Earthshaking nor changing anything about the current system. I believe a fact can be proven that blacks have actually been set back in academic and social standards because of cases like Brown v. Board of Education, and I believe the essay's author has proven that beyond any doubt. Blacks should be held to the same standard as whites. Give them something to which they can aspire, and they will. It may take a few generations, but it will happen.
The question: "If it's illegal for me, as a business owner, NOT to hire or promote someone based on the color of their skin. Why then should they be hired or promoted for that very same reason?"
You'll have to explain what "writing onto the law review" means for the non-legal-minded people like myself.
Law review staff consist of two groups — those who "graded" on (i.e., usually those first-year law students — a certain percentage — who received the highest GPA in their first year courses), and those who "write" on — a second group of first-year students who didn't make the cut-off point for "grading" on, but who compete in a closed-brief writing assignment that is blind-graded. Those who do best on the writing assignment earn the remaining slots on the law review staff.
I have no idea what "writting onto the law review" means either. But I do know that liberal law schools like Harvard started placing blacks on law review that hadn't earned it as part of their in-house affirmative action programs. And that ... coincidentially... Barak Obama magically made law review there soon afterwards (the first black to do so).
Thanks for the explanation.
Most spots on the law review (a legal journal published by the school) are given to first year student with the highest GPA...However, the school I attended reserved 2 spots for folks who didn't have high GPAs but wrote outstanding articles. It was my and several of my friends' suspicion that the "write on" spots were reserved for minorities.
Wasn't always the case, but the only african americans to be selected to the law review in the 3 years I was there "wrote on." They never graded on.
Where's the irony?
I don't know if Obama was the first black to be on the law review period. He was the first to be "president" of the law review, which hitherto had gone to the top law student. The time had come, they decided, that they had to have a black president of the law review, and he was the top student among that subset. Apparently as president he didn't do the work traditionally done by the president but let his underlings do that.
After dealing with this "magic negro"
I have no respect for black folk,
Call it racism or what ever you care to but at this point to hell with em
And prior to obammy I was not this way.
Or in other words, "White Males Need Not Apply"
I heard recently they are now extending the affirmative action system to women and reserving 20+ spots on the review for women, whether they earned it or not.
In a related story, 80% of New York public school graduates can't read.
In its defense, the NYC Department of Education said it has raised high school graduation rates by 40 percent over the last seven years.
It seems a NYC high school diploma is now just as useless as being on the Harvard Law review!
"Well-meaning", but "ultimately misguided"...the inevitable result of Mother O'Connor trying to apply compassionate motherly principles to conflict resolution -- when her job was to apply the Constitution.
"Meaning well" is not a "compelling national interest".
Judging from your name (Tulane), and reading your comments, we may have attended the same law school, because my experiences were the same.
When I was in law school, I had to take a class in legal writing. The teacher was a black woman who was just hired by the school. She was a graduate from Yale Law School and had worked at the public defender's office in Richmond, VA before being hired. The teacher had an assistant, who was a current member of the School's law review.
During the class, we had to write legal briefs, etc. every time I wrote a brief, the teacher gave me a low mark. When I asked the student advisor (writer for the law review) where I was wrong and how I could improve, the student looked at my paper and said there was nothing wrong and she would have given me a much higher mark. Unfortunately, only the teacher's marks counted.
I ended the course with a mediocre grade and lots of frustration.
BTW, the teacher was let go at the end of the term. The reason - incompetency.
After I graduated, the new Dean, who had been a law clerk for Thurgood Marshall, decided there were not enough blacks in the school (at the time a top 20-25 school) the goal was 20% of the student body. The ones they let in had to take remedial English classes to get them up to speed with the non-black students.
When they graduated a vast majority of these students could not pass the bar exam.
Because of the lowering of the overall passing rate of the graduates, and other factors due to the programs implemented by the Dean, the schools reputation suffered. The school is not considered a "top 50" law school now.
This is their business school, but starting from a false premise makes you a liar in the end:
Clearly, their belief in AA has not only degraded their school, but their morality.
It's their first thought as well. The most evil, horrible thing about AA is the inference that being black means not being able to do it; you're a broken toy.
The hidden history is that blacks did better before AA and the welfare state moved in to bail them out. The Democratic Party's origins in the eugenics and racist movements in America cloud their "help". Liberal whites don't believe in black people and they never have.
My friend is an 85 year old architect, now retired. He owns an airplane and has had one since the 70s. He owns several apartment buildings, all paid free and clear. He owns a beautiful vacation home on Hilton Head Island.
His plans and drawings always pass. He knows more than entire building and zoning departments. I've never known him to be wrong in a dispute. They end with the bureaucrat apologizing, often in writing. He's also black.
He never got AA or any breaks. As a matter of fact he grew up in racist Chicago and earned his way up by gumption, grit and hard work. That's the only way.
I don't believe in coincidence. I'd love to see a donor list in the years around Obama's attendance.
I personally believe exactly that, but am always hesitant to express such views and be accused of having foil on my head or something.
It's not likely that the affirmative action regime will be repealed in any serious way. Right now it depends on the weakest of the five conservative justices to vote with the conservative wing and not cower in the face of the media opprobrium that will be unleased on him. If any of the five dies or retires before 2017, Obama will replace him with a hard-line leftist. If a Democrat wins in 2016, it's almost inevitable that there will be a leftist majority on the court by 2020.
We went to the same place.

text: I would like to talk to anyone with a premie. My daughter in law delivered 5 1/2 weeks early and had a 4lb 12 oz baby December 15, 2007. I was very successful in my day nursing and want her to be also. She states that the baby will not latch on so she is pumping and then bottle feeding the breast milk. This seems to be double work to me. He is now at 5lbs 5 ozs. But she is running out of steam. The doctor suggests to supplement with formula. To me that is a bad word. I gave her the la leche book as soon as I know she was pregrant, but it seems she is talking to friends and other family members who had a bad experience. One question she had was, How do I know he is getting enough if he does latch on. This is a familiar question and always a worry for alot of people. I remember my mother asked me the same question some 30 years ago.

Javier Baez Heading to Peoria!
Javier Baez is being optioned from extended Spring training to the Peoria Chiefs. This is a great move for the Cubs as it shows that they are rewarding performance and are not afraid to push Baez through the system (2011 1st round draft pick). Baez was outstanding in extended spring training as we have documented a few times. Baez will make his Peoria debut this weekend, and it will be a treat for Peoria fans to watch this kid play everyday. Congrats Javy!

It was important to me that in last week's message I
forward you the
However, taking time during last week's message to describe those changes has caused me to be somewhat less than timely on another important item.
As you know, last week was "Administrative Professionals Week" across the country. I'm sure many of you use that occasion to give a special thank you to those APs who keep you organized, working and generally out of harm's way.
I want to use this opportunity—albeit a bit late—to applaud the work of these individuals here at ISBE who work in my office. Alison Harbour is located in Board Services and works in tandem with Jean Ladage, Board Services Coordinator, to make sure our nine State Board members have what they need for successful service, whether it be through accessing information, planning travel, handling correspondence or answering routine questions.
Marsha Moffett does primary intake on mail and phone service for the office—no small task, as you might well imagine. She somehow manages to do all of this with a smile on her face and a pleasant word, even at the end of the day (more so than can be said for me).
Carol Groves works as my personal AP and scheduler, and I know many of you have had the pleasure of interacting with Carol over the past months. Besides being a talented gatekeeper (an important role in this job), she is unflappable and keeps terribly long work hours to ensure that I get where I need to be at the right time with the right information.
As is the case in your offices with your own Administrative Professionals, we would not function without them. Not even remotely. Alison, Marsha, and Carol are symbolic of the excellence shown by AP staffers here throughout the agency and I thank all of them for their many efforts on our collective behalf.
I hope you did something nice for your APs this past week. Without them, Illinois Education would not exist!
Have a great week.
Randy Dunn
Also in this week's message:
New and revised Alternate Performance Indicators (APIs) will be available next week to teachers who administer the Illinois Alternate Assessment (IAA). The APIs accessible at www.isbe.net\assessment\iaa.htm will assist teachers in planning Individualized Education Programs (IEP) for the upcoming school year.
The APIs are a list of skills that teachers can use to help students with significant cognitive disabilities access the Illinois Learning Standards and show progress overtime on specific tasks or activities.
In the 2005-2006 school year, students in grades, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 will take the IAA in reading and mathematics; students in grades 4 and 7 will take the IAA in science; and students in grade 11 will take the IAA in reading, mathematics and science.
The Illinois Alternate Assessment is designed for students with severe cognitive disabilities for whom the state's regular assessments are not appropriate. For more information, email or call Marilyn Leveque at firstname.lastname@example.com or 217/782-4823.
The Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) and the
Illinois Parent Teacher Association (PTA) unveiled the draft design of a new
parent-friendly "Illinois School Profile: A Brief Guide for Parents" at a
meeting of the Illinois PTA on Saturday, April 30, during the Illinois PTA
Convention in Lisle,
The State Board and the
Illinois PTA used input from parents and educators through the state to design
the new profile. The primary goal of this initiative is to offer parents a
concise, understandable overview of the information and data from the
Key information included
in the customized Illinois School Profile for each
l Number of Students
l Attendance Rate
l Average Class Size
l Composite Student Test Scores
l Composite Teacher Information, including education level and average salary
l Adequate Yearly Progress
l School News
l Parent and Family Involvement
Please be advised that a rulemaking item recently adopted by the State Board of Education is now in effect. This updated set of rules has been posted on the agency's web site at www.isbe.net/rules; choose "Rules Currently in Effect" and scroll to the relevant Part number. (If you print only the affected Sections, remember to include the table of contents for the Part, which changes every time the Part is amended.)
Part 375 (Student Records)
P.A. 93-859, effective
· requires the State Board of Education to establish by rule a system for tracking transfer students;
· requires a school or district to count a student who has withdrawn from that school or district as a dropout for purposes of its annual dropout calculation if the school or district does not receive documentation that the student has enrolled in another school within 150 days after the student withdraws; and
· allows a request for student records (academic transcripts or medical records) to be used as documentation of student enrollment.
Currently, Section 5 of both the Missing Children Records Act [325 ILCS 50/5] and Missing Children Registration Law [325 ILCS 55/5] requires that within 14 days of enrolling a transfer student, the school to which that student is transferring must request a certified copy of the student's records from his or her previous school. This requirement has been in the rules at Section 375.75(e). Thus a requirement already existed for all schools to request records of transfer students enrolling in their schools, thereby providing a mechanism for tracking transfer students to determine whether they have re-enrolled in another school or have dropped out.
In order to make this requirement more prominent, we have moved the language of Section 375.75(e) to a new subsection (b) and added language from the law pertaining to documentation of enrollment and determination of a student's dropout status.
These amendments do not establish additional mandates on schools and districts. Instead, they rely on a mandate currently being imposed by the Missing Children Records Act and the Missing Children Registration Law.
Affected Section: 375.75
During last week's Student Information System pilot school districts conference call three issues from the school districts were brought to the attention of ISBE. The issues and resolutions are listed below:
Issue 1: The serving entity does not exist on CDS file.
Resolution: At this time, the home RCDTS code should also be the serving RCDTS.
Issue 2: There are concerns about the display of confidential information on the ISBE Web Locator System.
Resolution: District or school personnel assigned the responsibility of enrolling new students are considered to be "educational officials with a legitimate educational interest" as described in the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) and, therefore, have the right to view this information in determining the identification of the new student.
Issue 3: What is the definition of "legal last name?"
Resolution: The definition of "legal last name" and the methods used to verify it (birth certificate and other legal documents) are local school districts prerogatives. In the case of Latino children whose mother's maiden name may appear on the birth certificate and whose father's last name may appear on other legal documents, we suggest a solution that is encouraged in at least two other states: Mother's maiden name followed by a hyphen (-) followed by the father's last name.
Starting Monday, May 2, districts will be able to view and update/correct demographic information for tested students in grades 3-8 on SchoolHouse http://www.ncsschoolhouse.com/. Districts will also be able to update/correct first-day-of-testing enrollment counts for grades three through eight. This first correction window will be open May 2 through May 13. During a final correction window (open June 20-August 22), scores of tested students in grades three through eight will also be available for review. For more information, go to www.isbe.net/assessment or call Student Assessment at 217-782-4823.
These are the procedures that ISBE Student Assessment will follow for testing and results for students in certain situations. Student Assessment will have these posted and filed for future use by the division.
1) Students who are jailed or locked down will not be tested. These students will NOT be counted in schools and districts' enrollments.
Students who are residing or attending facilities out of
state or out of country will not be tested – including
3) Students who are wards of the state will have their test scores count to the district and school in which the facility they are residing or attending is located.
4) Students' test scores who reside or attend a facility outside of their district will count at their home school and district.
The U.S. Department of Education is seeking nominations for its second annual American Stars of Teaching project, which recognizes outstanding teachers who are using innovative strategies to raise student achievement, Secretary of Education Margaret Spellings announced today.
Teachers across all grade levels and disciplines will be
honored this fall as 2005 American Stars in Teaching. One teacher, or team of
teachers from a school, will be recognized in every state and the
U.S. Department of Education officials will again visit the schools of American Star teachers to congratulate them on their success. The American Stars of Teaching project is part of the Teacher-to-Teacher Initiative, which offers teacher and principal roundtables, teacher workshops and conferences, regular e-mail updates, and a free online professional development tool. Nomination forms for American Stars of Teaching and information on the Teacher-to-Teacher Initiative are available at www.ed.gov/teacherinitiative.

were the darkest days of the Second World War: American air crews
fought their way to and from heavily defended targets deep inside Fortress
Europe and the far reaches of the Pacific. These young men and women
fought valiantly and many did not return, but they changed the direction
of a terrible war, insuring victory and securing the freedom which we
enjoy today.
Formed in 1993, the Army Air Forces
Historical Association®, based in northern New Jersey, is an historical
and educational non-profit organization. The association
participates in air shows, historical retrospect's, educational programs
and seminars providing static displays of World War II Army Air Forces
memorabilia. These artifacts portray what service life was like when
the world was at war and fathers, sons and daughters trained and served in
many distant locations.
Some of our most frequently asked questions:
I want to find more info about my family member who served in the Army Air Forces in WWII. Where do I for to look for information?
We can send you the web addresses of Veterans groups or other associations if you have some unit info about your relative. Just send us a note.
If you have no info at all, here's a listing of many suggestions on how to find more information. (Courtesy of our friends at armyairforces.com)

Human Resources Management Degree Program Meets SHRM Requirements; Renews with Society for Two Years
The St. John Fisher College Human Resources Management (HRM) degree program has once again met the requirements of the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) curriculum guidelines, earning the program the Society's endorsement for another two years.
SHRM looks for programs with a curriculum that aligns with the recommended requirements for HR degree programs as outlined in the SHRM HR Curriculum Guidebook, established by the society in 2005.
"This endorsement provides evidence that Fisher's HR requirements once again align with the everyday professional needs of the HR practitioner," said Dr. Bob Costigan, Professor of Management and one of the lead faculty in the HRM program. "Not only is the Fisher business school accredited by AACSB but our HRM courses, in particular, continue to meet the curricular standards of the best HR professional organization. This is something we should all be very proud of."
SHRM is the world's largest association devoted to human resource management. Representing more than 250,000 members in over 140 countries, the Society serves the needs of HR professionals and advances the interests of the HR profession. Founded in 1948, SHRM has more than 575 affiliated chapters within the United States and subsidiary offices in China, India, and the United Arab Emirates.
