- Practical advice to help you regularly save money and invest
- Find companies you can trust and the best financial products
- Impartial pensions and Isa tips without the financial jargon
- Your one-stop shop for all money matters
Over the past six weeks, readers have been tweeting and emailing in their favourite money-saving and money-making tips, as part of a competition to win a copy of Spare Change, the latest money manual from financial blogger Iona Bain.
The response has been staggering, with hundreds of ideas on how to save more, cut spending, and get better value on the purchases you do make.
You won't see anything about the bigger issues, such as saving for retirement, investing or mortgages, which needs a bit more thought than the coins in your pocket at the end of the week, but as JD of Glasgow reminds us, "Look after the pennies and the pounds will look after themselves."
Some of the tips are quite specific – like investing in a water softener to cut the shampoo
you'll use in the shower or detergent in your washing machine (SR, Plymouth) – while others are universal principles that can help anyone, regardless of your circumstances.
SL, from Haycastle, perhaps said it best. Managing your money over the long term is about "being consistently frugal, not just when you're short of money".
Thanks to everyone who contributed – unfortunately, only 10 people have won a copy of Ms Bain's book, but we're grateful for every contribution, and are sure your fellow readers will be too. To everyone who suggested reading Moneywise – we completely agree.
If you've got a hot tip that's not here, drop us a message at email@example.com, or on Twitter via @moneywiseonline.
The truth is Brits just don't save enough. DM, from Edinburgh, suggests that a decent savings goal is to save £1 for every £10 you receive.
That won't be possible, or even desirable, for everyone, but most of us admit we could be saving more. With savings rates as low as they are, it's easier to grow your savings by adding to them, instead of relying on a bank to provide meagre top-ups.
Even small, regular savings can quickly add up. LL, from Derbyshire, says: "Always save something. Even if it's just a few pence a week, get saving."
In many cases, people plan to save but never quite get round to it. Perhaps they intend to put any left- over money into savings at the end of the month, but when the time comes the cash has gone.
KA, in Sheffield, says prioritising your savings over spending will help break this cycle: "Establish a payday savings habit – put some money aside for savings as soon as you get it."
KC, in Amersham, agrees and says by setting up a direct debit, you won't miss the money that you never saw.
Even people who can't see the point in saving accounts paying as little as 0.01% interest should get saving, says @moneyhelpadvice: "Pop your #sparechange into a sealed moneybox that you don't open until Christmas. It's amazing how much it adds up."
We agree with the sentiment – but practically no interest is better than no interest at all. And, of course, it's possible to get savings working harder if you "keep checking the interest you earn on your savings," adds IB in County Durham.
Younger readers, take note: "It's always best to start saving while you are young," says SB in Lancashire. He's absolutely right – start your savings earlier and the power of compound interest means you'll end up with more, even if you put away less money each month.
The best way to cut your outgoings is "ask yourself if you really need an item before you buy", says FJ in Dumfriesshire.
After all, in the words of MF in Hertfordshire: "Just because I have money, it doesn't mean I have to spend it!"
To cut out impulse purchases, if you see something you want to buy, "wait at least 24 hours before you make the purchase", says WM in Nottingham.
If you're buying online, that can be even easier. Simply fill up your online shopping basket, go to bed, and then check in the morning if you still need it, suggests KH from the Isle of Man.
For the purchases you decide you do need, don't be tempted to scrimp on quality to save a few pence. Buying cheap means buying twice, warns IB in County Durham.
That's definitely true for substantial purchases, but for many household staples, own-brand products can be just as good as the big names. "A lot of 'value' supermarket products are perfectly acceptable at half the price of branded," says HS in Berkshire. And don't be shy about asking for a discount. Retailers might say no, but they might not, and you'll never know unless you try, says SB in Manchester.
Finally: "Shop around for anything or everything," says GH in Cheshire. "Loyalty is a thing of the past."
Regularly reviewing your spending is one of the quickest and easiest ways to bring it down. "Evaluate all your expenditure. However small, any savings will soon add up," advises CF in London.
The trick is to be rigorous, so you can see where everything goes. "Write a budget and keep a spending diary so you know exactly where your money is going," says LP in London.
In drastic cases, switching to a cash-only regime in the short term can make tracking your spending easier. "You're less likely to fritter money away if you can feel it leaving your wallet," says CM in Devon.
PMI in Sussex agrees: "Try paying in cash for a week to help reflect on and review your spending habits."
Whether you're buying online or on the high street, there are plenty of ways to claw back some of your outgoings through cashback deals and reward schemes.
"I always check my cashback website before I buy on the internet – a no-brainer and money for nothing," says @poshpink101.
If you don't already use a cashback site, QuidCo.com and TopCashback.co.uk are two of the biggest, and make good places to start.
The best cashback deals on credit cards aren't as generous as they used to be, but it's easy to get 1% of your spending back or more. Spend £250 on plastic a month and you'll get £30 free at the end of the year. "Just make sure you pay the bills in full each month, or you'll quickly erase any bonus," advises JD in Glamorgan.
In a nutshell, there are only two ways to improve your financial situation in the short term: either bring your spending down or boost your income.
AO, in London, advises anyone who can to work overtime. It's not an option open to everyone, but it pays well if you're in the increasingly small group of people who can. Otherwise, "Look into the sharing economy and explore if it will work for you," suggests @Briteeth.
If you have a property, or even a parking space, then the likes of Airbnb can get your home working for you, and incoming new tax breaks mean you'll be able to earn £1,000 tax free, on top of your personal allowance.
It's also possible to earn a few pounds online by doing surveys.
Most survey companies pay vouchers, but some do cash. "A few minutes here and there over the year can slash the cost of Christmas presents," says MK in Lancashire.
There are plenty of other ways to make money online – many of them explored at Moneywise.co.uk.
"Educate yourself regularly on ways to make more money," concludes DB in Oxfordshire, echoing the thoughts of legendary investor Warren Buffet (who rudely didn't participate in the #sparechange competition): "The most important investment you can make is in yourself. Very few people get anything like their potential horsepower translated into the actual horsepower of their output in life. Potential exceeds realisation for many people... The best asset is your own self. You can become to an enormous degree the person you want to be."
Every time you go into a supermarket, you're entering a battlefield for your wallet.They've evolved over the years to incorporate lots of psychological tricks to get you to hand over your money.These include putting the most expensive items at eye level, multi-buy deals that aren't as cheap as they look, or even simply getting you to walk past hundreds of things you don't need to find the one or two that you do.
Here are your tips to fight back:
Around the home
Below are readers' tips to waste less and save on household bills:
This is effectively paying interest on interest. Interest is calculated not only on the initial sum borrowed (principal) or saved (see APR and AER) but also on the accumulated interest. The more frequently interest is added to the principal, the faster the principal grows and the higher the compound interest will be. Compound interest differs from "simple interest" in that simple interest is calculated solely as a percentage of the principal sum.

Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer's Paris office has hired Shearman & Sterling finance counsel Linda Hesse and broken with tradition by allowing her straight into the firm's equity.
US-qualified Hesse was a European counsel at Shear-man, where sources say she was a partner in all but name. However, Freshfields Paris has never before hired a new partner straight into the equity.
In January, The Lawyer revealed that Freshfields took on Linklaters banking and restructuring associate Chris Howard for its London office – its first ever associate hire into the partnership.
Hesse is a US-qualified securities lawyer who focused primarily on corporate clients while at Shearman such as France Telecom and Danone.
London-based US corporate partner Sarah Murphy said: "Paris is a very active market. It was important to have US capacity on the ground there rather than just servicing it out of London."

Taking a patient's medical history is a necessary part of working in hospitals, health centers, doctors' offices or other health care centers. It involves asking the patient about her reason for the visit, and then asking about her health history, as well as the histories of her immediate family members. It isn't difficult, but, depending on the patient, it can be time consuming. Do your best to keep the patient focused, and take good notes as they speak.
Ask about the patient's current problem, or the reason for the visit. This includes asking about the symptoms, how long the problem has existed, and if it has changed at all (gotten worse or better) in that time. You also need to ask if this particular complaint, or something similar, has been a problem before.
Find out which medications, if any, the patient is currently taking. Also ask about any recently taken medications. Sometimes the side effects of a particular medication can cause symptoms that require the patient to seek care. At this point, you will also probably ask for the patient's weight and height, or even measure them yourself if needed.
Develop a medical history for the patient. What medications are they allergic to? What serious illnesses or injuries have they had in the past? This is essential information. If a patient is allergic to penicillin, for example, there are a range of medications that cannot be given. Taking the history of previous medical issues may allow you to see any connections between the conditions.
Inquire about the patient's family medical history. This usually involves asking about the current and previous health issues of siblings, parents, aunts and uncles, and grandparents. As many conditions are genetic, knowing that there is a family history of diabetes, heart disease or some other health issue may be relevant to the patient's current complaint.
Find out the patient's social history. Does he or she smoke, drink or do drugs? Have they done any of these things in the past? Depending on the reason for the visit, you may also need to ask about the patient's sexual history or their fitness and nutrition habits. This is also when you will ask about depression, anxiety and their current living situation and support.
Complete a systems review. Start at the head, and work your way down. Ask about any skin conditions, cramping, aches and pains, dizziness or any other problems the patient might have that they haven't mentioned. Patients won't always tell you everything, because they may think a symptom is unrelated or unimportant. When you take a patient's medical history, you need to find out about these potential complaints, and put them into the notes. They may be essential to the diagnosis.

Pyi Taw Thar (A, B, C) Village Group
Pyi Taw Thar (A, B, C) Village Group's story
Thuzar, Khin, Thida, Tin and Zin represent the 21 loan customers from Pyi Taw Thar (A, B, C) Village Group located in Kunggyangon Township in Myanmar. This new loan will help some members buy more ducklings so that they can lay more eggs and increase the members' daily income. Others will apply the funds to purchase high-quality feed and vitamins for their ducks. Most of the villagers are farmers who cultivate rice. Betel nut cultivation and raising livestock such as ducks, pigs and chickens are common secondary businesses in the area.
Thuzar (second from the right), is a 23 year-old young woman who is married. She is the featured borrower of this group. Thuzar and her husband are very hard-working in preparation to give a secure family life for their children-to-be. Every morning, she sells vegetables in the village's bazaar in addition to taking care of her ducks while her husband is working on the farm. Thuzar has received a loan from Proximity twice, and this has allowed her business to improve since she started with these loans. This time, Thuzar will use her portion of the loan funded by Kiva to buy high-quality feeds for her ducks, which is vital to increase duck egg production.
This loan is special because:

More about this loan
CBOs also play a key role in providing access to microcredit. In this model, CBO committee members support Proximity loan officers throughout the entire loan cycle. They assist in selecting village borrowers and also act as formal representatives during loan disbursement, collection of repayments and other communications. CBO committee members appear in Kiva profiles – often alongside village borrowers – as representatives of the community.
Since families rely heavily on income from farming to support their livelihoods, these loans are structured with a single bullet repayment at the end of the loan term. The timing aligns with expected harvest season when borrowers will be able to repay. All community members who receive financing through the CBO model must repay their portion of the loan before a village will be eligible to receive new funding.
About Proximity Designs:
Proximity Designs is a non-profit social enterprise that offers loan products to help small, low income farmers increase their productivity and income. There are around 12 million farmers in Myanmar who make up more than a third of the labor force. The majority of these farmers have virtually no access to formal credit institutions.
In the absence of other financing opportunities, most small farmers in Myanmar are unable to afford the equipment, material, and labor necessary to grow their crops without the help of Proximity Designs. Kiva funding will be used to help Proximity Designs expand its agricultural microfinance operation and reach more low income, rural farmers.

Amer Saka, Ontario Priest, Allegedly Steals $500,000 Raised For Refugees
LONDON, Ont. — A priest in London, Ont., has been charged with fraud in the alleged theft of more than $500,000 meant for refugees.
Police say Amer Saka of St. Joseph Chaldean Catholic Church allegedly obtained the money from over 20 people under the guise of a sponsorship program to bring refugee families into Canada.
Police in London, Ont. say that a priest from St. Joseph Chaldean Catholic Church took hundreds of thousands of dollars that donors thought was for refugees. (Photo: Facebook/St. Joseph Chaldean Catholic Church)
London police say the investigation began in February with the co-operation of the Hamilton Catholic Diocese and spanned throughout Ontario, the United States and other countries where refugees were trying to come to Canada.
Saka, 51, was arrested on Wednesday and faces two charges — fraud exceeding $5,000 and possess proceeds of property or thing exceeding $5,000.
The investigation is ongoing and anyone who may have had dealings with Saka is encouraged to contact London police.Also On HuffPost:
Joe Woodsworth, a senior manager with Surrey, B.C.-based Options Community Services picks up dozens of backpacks, each filled with school supplies for Syrian children. Operation Backpack is the idea of former 24Hours columnist Laila Yuile.
Malak arrived with her family in July after living in a Jordanian refugee camp for two years. Her teeth were so decayed the 5-year-old girl was kept up at night because of the pain until a local dentist stepped forward to help the family for free.
"Hopefully, together, we can prove that Canada in general and the Maritimes in particular are as generous and welcoming as the rest of the world thinks we are," P.E.I. artist Amy Seymour told HuffPost Canada.
In November, the Edmonton Oilers captain gave $10,000 to Edmonton's Mennonite Centre for Newcomers to support their work in helping to resettle incoming Syrian refugees. The donation helped the group meet its two-month goal in a single day.
The Guelph businessman made headlines last month after stepping forward to say he intended to spend $1.5 million to privately sponsor 50 Syrian refugee families to come to Canada. Estill explained he was tired of seeing refugee applications get snarled in long, bureaucratic processes. "I'm a businessperson, I'm very impatient, and we should just do it now," he said.
"It's really good to know that we're so compassionate and that we want to help," said Darrell McLeod of St. Clare's refugee family sponsorship group. "Everybody's very excited about it. Everyone's been really excited to make things happen."
Westbank Developments founder Ian Gillespie is behind many of downtown Vancouver's glitziest skyscrapers.A descendant of Irish immigrants, he made a pledge in November to furnish a 12-unit West End apartment complex and open it to incoming refugees. He also said he's exploring ways to help Syrians get jobs after they arrive in the city.
A small group of from the Keewatin Otchitchak traditional women's drum group gathered by baggage carousels to greet 17 Syrians to Treaty 1 with a song of welcome.
"I need to point out that the people who are desperate refugees are fleeing from the exact same people who perpetrated the kind of violence we saw in Paris and Beirut last week," the Calgary mayor told reporters a week after deadly attacks in France and Lebanon. "They're running away from the bad guys and, as such, we need to be able to open our arms to make sure that we can provide safety to these folks."
Christine Youssef (pictured) greets newly arrived Syrian relatives on a bus near Pearson International Airport in Mississauga on Dec. 11. Youssef and her mother are sponsoring 43 of their Syrian relatives to come to Canada. Thirteen have arrived and are staying at the family's small Scarborough, Ont. bungalow. Soon, nine of the relatives will move out, making room for more relatives to come in.
When CBC News reporter Eman Bare interviewed Mohamed Al-Noury, 21, and Athar Farroukh, 23, she realized the Syrian refugee couple had no wedding pictures. So Bare put a callout on soical media to surprise the high sweethearts with a wedding. Her request spread and within 24 hours people came forward donating a venue, suit, dress, and cake. "Grateful for a community that makes beautiful things happen," wrote Bare on Instagram below a photo taken at the couple's Saskatoon ceremony.

Superbird is a web browser with all the features supported by Chrome, except that it does´t send any kind of personal data. This way, Superbird avoids one of the hardest criticisms made to Google's browser, related to the potential use or disclosure of the private data collected.
If you're already a Chrome user, there's actually not much to say. Superbird has the same streamlined graphical user interface that allows navigating various sites on separate tabs. Besides, it uses the same rendering engine, which means that its performance is more or less comparable. In relation to other popular browsers, Superbird seems to be slightly faster than Firefox and considerably more efficient than Internet Explorer. A quick look at various websites that publish benchmarking results can support the statement above.
As to the differences, Superbird, unlike Chrome, doesn´t share information with Google´s services. It doesn´t send your installation ID, geographical location or client ID. Moreover, it doesn't send any information when the application crashes or a malformed URL is entered. While this definitely favors your privacy, it also has some disadvantages, considering that Google uses the data collected to correct bugs, provide updates, keep your browsing history and protect you from malicious websites.
In general, Superbird is an excellent alternative to Chrome when you're concerned about privacy issues. However, it´s good to know that when you install Chrome, it gives you the opportunity to deactivate its tracking options. Besides, there's also the incognito mode, which allegedly doesn´t send any personal data either.

From 14-hour days during the beginnings of their first restaurant in Long Beach more than 37 years ago, Super Mex founders Manuel and Socorro Orozco built franchises across Southern California. Inspired by the local cuisine of the village he was born in—Villa Jimenez, Michoacan, Mexico—Manuel brought his passion for traditional Mexican food to California, where the business grew with a dedicated following of college students.

My name is Toni S. and I am a former teacher with over 25 years experience. I am available to tutor a variety of subjects - Biology including AP Biology, Physiology, introductory high school Chemistry, general science, all grade levels of English, particularly reading comprehension, and elementary and middle school math.
I graduated from Barnard College, Columbia University in New York City where I earned my BA with a major in Zoology and a minor in English. I also earned a Masters in science teaching from Hunter College, City University of New York and was licensed to teach Biology, Chemistry and general science. I worked at several private schools and for the longest period, over 20 years, at Riverdale Country School, a prep school in the Bronx where I taught high school Biology and Chemistry including honors Biology courses and some middle school general science. I helped to plan curriculum there and served for a period as acting Science Department head.
I began tutoring when I moved to California five years ago and have worked one on one with a variety of students in a range of subjects including Biology and AP Biology, introductory Chemistry, reading comprehension and elementary and middle school math. I also worked in the LAUSD, No Child Left Behind, "Learning with Laptops" program teaching math and english to students from 5th to 9th grade and in the Los Angeles Public Library adult literacy program.
In addition to my particular interest, Biology, I am an avid reader and have particularly enjoyed helping students with their reading comprehension. When I work with students in any subject my goal is for them to enjoy what they are doing as well as to understand the material. The aim is not just to teach memorization or prepping for tests. I try to work with each student in a style that suits his or her individual needs.
I would love to help you and look forward to hearing from you. Hello,

My daughter feels comfortable asking questions, she's usually uncomfortable with asking with other tutors. Toni provides clear explanations. She is helping increase my daughter's confidence with AP Bio.
Toni taught the concepts to my daughter that she did not understand, thereby enabling her to move forward with her lessons. She taught in a clear, concise method.
Toni tutors zoology. she explains concepts patiently and thoroughly. she is prompt and we appreciate her tutoring with her ton of patience and kindness.
We are very satisfied with the way Toni has been helping our granddaughter improve in her reading and writing skills. She is patient and understanding. We recommend her highly for all your English language needs.
Toni has gone out of her way to accommodate our difficult schedule. Toni shared her expertise in biology and worked with our son on better note taking and study skills. Toni is very responsive and patient.
Toni is a great tutor to work with and she has so much patience and in depth knowledge about child needs. My son had trouble reading fluently and with his comprehension skills and Toni did a great job explaining and helping him understand the stories that he read. I would highly recommend Toni as a tutor.
Our son was receiving a low grade in AP Bio. Toni worked well with him, was very helpful and made the time to see him for several sessions in a short amount of time. As a result he passed his finals and received a passing grade in the class.
Approved subjects are in bold.
In most cases, tutors gain approval in a subject by passing a proficiency exam. For some subject areas, like music and art, tutors submit written requests to demonstrate their proficiency to potential students. If a tutor is interested but not yet approved in a subject, the subject will appear in non-bold font. Tutors need to be approved in a subject prior to beginning lessons.
I was licensed in New York State to teach Biology, Chemistry and General Science. I graduated Barnard College with a BA in Zoology and Hunter College, City University of New York with an MA in science teaching. At the time I graduated from Barnard there was no single department of Biology, rather there were separate departments of Zoology and Botany. So, although my major was only in one branch of Biology my background expanded from there to other aspects of the science over the course of a 25+ year career. I am knowledgeable and comfortable teaching any course material in the Biological sciences including introductory courses, AP courses and Physiology.
I graduated Barnard College, Columbia University with a BA in Zoology. As I was a pre-med at the time I took three years of Chemistry toward that major. I also have a Masters degree in science teaching from Hunter College, CUNY. I taught for over 25 years in New York City prep schools including Riverdale Country School . At Riverdale I also helped plan science curriculum and served temporarily as Science department head.
I tutored Math and English in the LAUSD "Learning with Laptops" program where I worked with students in grades 5 through 9 and have also tutored several students one on one in these subjects.
I was a licensed teacher in New York and worked for many years teaching Biology and Chemistry at several prep schools. I moved to California in 2011 and have been tutoring privately since then.
I have a B.A. from Barnard College, where I majored in science but also minored in English, and an M.A. in education. I was a licensed teacher in New York for many years and then a real estate broker. In both of these capacities I used my English skills extensively.
I have been tutoring since moving to Los Angeles about four years ago and have gained experience working with students of various ages to help them improve their reading comprehension and writing skills. This experience has included working with adults in an adult literacy program run by the Los Angeles public library.
I am an avid reader and reading has always been one of my favorite leisure time activities and my main source of learning.
I have no formal training in phonics but am currently tutoring a first grade student in reading. She did not read English when she arrived in her class mid year because she came from overseas. While fluent in spoken English she had only read in a different alphabet. I have been using phonics with her quite successfully. I also am very well read, speak well, write well, and have a very strong vocabulary; all skills which I think involve an understanding of phonics.
I graduated Barnard College, Columbia University where I majored in Zoology and minored in English. I also have a Masters degree in science education. My math background was sufficient to do this.
I have worked as a tutor in an LAUSD program called "Learning with Laptops" where I taught English and math to students in grades 5 through 8, which includes prealgebra, and I have tutored math privately to several students in this age group.
I graduated with a BA from Barnard College where I was a Zoology major who also minored in English and Hunter College with a Master's degree in education. I taught for many years in New York City and have been tutoring since moving to Woodland Hills four years ago.
My experience tutoring English, particularly reading comprehension, includes work for the LAUSD "Learning with Laptops" program where I worked with elementary and middle school children on Math and English. I tutor adults in reading and English conversation as a volunteer in the adult literacy program run by the Los Angeles Public Library and have worked privately with several elementary school children who needed help with reading comprehension.
My qualifications include my own success earning a BA from a top college, Barnard, Columbia University; and an MA from Hunter Collge, CUNY while also teaching, running a household and raising two children. Study skills were involved along with organizational skill. Teaching for over 25 years also involved helping my students organize their work.
Biology at the time I did my undergraduate work was divided into separate departments of Zoology and Botany, it was not taught as a single major as it is now. My major for my undergraduate BA at Barnard College, therefore, was Zoology.
I earned an MA in teaching Science from Hunter College and was licensed in New York State to teach Biology, Chemistry, and General Science. I then taught these subjects for over 25 years. Most of this experience was teaching Biology, both introductory and AP courses, and these courses included Zoology.

U.S. Route 6 in California
|Route information
|Defined by Streets and Highways Code § 306
|Maintained by Caltrans
|40.51 mi[2] (65.19 km)
|1936[1] – present
|Major junctions
|South end:
|US 395 in Bishop
|SR 120 in Benton
|North end:
|US 6 at Nevada state line
|Highway system
U.S. Route 6, or US 6, is a transcontinental highway from the U.S. state of California to Massachusetts. In California, the highway lies in the eastern portion of the state from Bishop in the Owens Valley north to the Nevada state line in Esmeralda County. Prior to a 1964 Highway renumbering project US 6 extended to the Pacific Ocean in Long Beach, California, as part of the historic auto trail named the Grand Army of the Republic Highway.[4]
Route description[edit]
This route is part of the California Freeway and Expressway System[5] and is legally eligible for the State Scenic Highway System.[6] However, it is not an official scenic highway as designated by Caltrans.[7]
Starting in Inyo County, US 6 begins its route at Bishop at a junction with US 395 near the Bishop Paiute-Shoshone Indian Colony. After leaving Inyo County and entering Mono County, the highway proceeds due north to the town of Benton, and makes a junction with SR 120. The highway then begins ascending the lower foothills of the White Mountains, towards Montgomery Pass in Nevada. The highway reaches the state line before cresting the pass. While still in California, the highway passes Boundary Peak, the highest point in Nevada.[8]
The California portion of US 6 was originally commissioned in 1937 as an extension of the highway from Greeley, Colorado as part of the historic Grand Army of the Republic Highway auto trail.[9]
Grand Army of the Republic Highway[edit]
US 6 was later extended further south through the Mojave Desert and Los Angeles to Long Beach in Southern California.[4] It traveled along with what is now US 395, SR 14 (Sierra Highway), I-5, I-110 / SR 110, and SR 1. When the Four Level Interchange was constructed, US 6 was the original number for SR 110 at this interchange.
It formerly ran from Long Beach west to San Pedro and continued north on Figueroa Street, briefly concurrent with US 66 in Los Angeles before turning northwest and co-signing with US 99 on San Fernando Road. US 66 continued north on the Pasadena Freeway before also being decommissioned in 1964, leading to the Harbor and Pasadena freeways being redesignated to SR 11, which ran from Gaffey Street in San Pedro to Colorado Boulevard in Pasadena. In 1981, the Harbor Freeway between Gaffey Street and Interstate 10 became Interstate 110, replacing the SR 11 designation. The northern segment of SR 11 continuing to Glenarm Street became SR 110, which continues briefly as the Harbor Freeway before becoming the Pasadena Freeway north of the Four Level Interchange with US 101.
In 1964, all of the route of US 6 in California south of Bishop lost official status with its US 6 signs removed. The highway was truncated to Bishop as part of a 1964 highway renumbering project.[10]
Major intersections[edit]
Except where prefixed with a letter, postmiles were measured on the road as it was in 1964, based on the alignment that existed at the time, and do not necessarily reflect current mileage. R reflects a realignment in the route since then, M indicates a second realignment, L refers an overlap due to a correction or change, and T indicates postmiles classified as temporary (for a full list of prefixes, see the list of postmile definitions).[2] Segments that remain unconstructed or have been relinquished to local control may be omitted. The numbers reset at county lines; the start and end postmiles in each county are given in the county column.
|US 395 – Los Angeles, Reno
|South end of US 6; former US 6 south
|SR 120 – Lee Vining, Yosemite National Park
|Agricultural Inspection Station (southbound only)
|US 6 – Tonopah
|Continuation into Nevada
|1.000 mi = 1.609 km; 1.000 km = 0.621 mi

text: WARREN, N.J., April 29, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- As U.S. and Canadian businesses plan to expand their business overseas this year, supply chain failures, data breaches and political instability are weighing heavily on the minds of their executives, according to a survey by the Chubb Group of Insurance Companies. The 2014 Chubb Multinational Risk Survey identified the top overseas business threat as supply chain failure (19%). A data breach/cyber event (15%) was ranked second, and government/regulatory investigation and political instability were tied for third (13%). Natural catastrophe (12%) was ranked fourth out of the 10 events listed. The survey also found that one in two (52%) businesses plans to increase its overseas activity in 2014. Survey respondents expect to increase overseas travel (27%), introduce new products in foreign markets (27%) and increase employee headcount abroad (26%). "Companies, large and small, continue to seek out new business opportunities abroad, and they increasingly are being confronted by political and economic turmoil, natural and manmade disasters, and regulatory hurdles," said Kathleen Ellis, senior vice president and worldwide manager for Chubb Multinational Solutions. "As they expand their international business operations, companies need to take a more holistic or global approach to managing risk." Nearly half (45%) of the executives surveyed noted that overseas risks pose a greater threat to their company than domestic ones, while one-third (33%) reported that overseas risks are an equal threat. In addition, nearly half (48%) of the companies had experienced at least one loss related to conducting business overseas over the last three years. Supply Chain RiskDespite their concern regarding supply chain failure, only 56% of companies have a business continuity plan that addresses overseas risks, and 22% of companies that do have a plan have never tested it. Larger companies (74%) were much more likely to be prepared for overseas business interruptions than smaller companies (48%).

On a low, slow pitch at Cricketfield Road the moderate Middlesex attack were exchanging looks of nervous delight when they had Sussex, the championship leaders, at 231 for seven. But a stand of 116 from 130 balls between Rana Naved and Luke Wright changed the shape of this match and Sussex ended on 373 for nine.
Middlesex members still twitch at the mention of Rana, who at Lord's last season followed his bludgeoning 139 with a four-wicket maiden to rush them to an innings defeat inside two days. This season he and his fellow countryman Mushtaq Ahmed have taken 65 championship wickets between them, which explains their county's lofty position. But runs have been elusive for Rana.
Yesterday, though, he scored 64 from 51 balls. He hit seven fours and both his sixes, off Jamie Dalrymple and Chad Keegan, were swung over square-leg. Wright gave him solid support with a 90-ball 59 as Sussex took four batting points, half their miserable total from their opening five matches.
Sussex had won the toss and Richard Montgomerie and Carl Hopkinson put on 57 for the first wicket in 22 overs. But batting was never easy for the specialists. Montgomerie was caught behind, pushing forward to Dalrymple's second delivery, and Sussex lunched on 89 for one.
In the afternoon Hopkinson cut to point, Chris Adams was bowled by one that kept low and Matthew Prior played on. The normally free-scoring Murray Goodwin scored his first boundary from his 71st ball and took three hours to get 50 before he was spectacularly caught by the leaping Keegan at mid-on. Ollie Rayner, an off-spinner making his championship debut, was out second ball and then Robin Martin Jenkins got one that stopped on him. Then the biffers arrived.

Promoting Trident Academy's "Healthy Indicators"
Greetings Friends,
Yesterday, Joe and I received a visit from Dr. Chris Proctor, a 20-year veteran in education who wanted guidance on how to include the Orton-Gillingham methods into his private school in my hometown of Roanoke, VA. Beyond the pleasure of seeing an old friend and the joy from the affirmation that Trident Academy is "The Leader" in Orton-Gillingham education, we were given a valuable gift of wisdom.
When given my overview on where Trident Academy stands in terms of enrollment weakness and financial urgency, he clinically replied, "It's not complicated. You have to check your three master dials." I internally replied "Huh?"
He explained that private schools all have the same three key factors that drive enrollment and their financial health. "If you can understand and focus on the factors you control, you can be successful."
Dial #1 is the overall ability of the community in its constituent parts to pay the price your school needs to charge. Trident Academy has historically been about 20% more than Charleston Day, Porter-Gaud & Ashley Hall and all of those schools are at or approaching capacity. I mention this because while we can debate whether Trident Academy is still worth the 'premium', we cannot entirely blame enrollment weakness on our Tuition being at approximately the correct level. We can look at the 'cost' of Trident Academy but that doesn't seem to hold all the answers.
Dial #2, the most important and only indicator the Trident Academy Community really controls, is THE PERCEIVED AND REAL VALUE of the educational and social experience provided by our school. This 'value perception' is what motivates a current or prospective family to choose Trident Academy over any other solution. Our tuition is a significant expense and we have much work to do if we want to make the following question an easy and enthusiastic "YES": Does Trident Academy provide such a great experience for my child and family that the value received significantly exceeds the financial costs?
Dial #3 is the competition which are working to attract students away from Trident Academy. Certainly the public schools are trying to do better at addressing Learning Differences and others private schools are offering 'extras' such as assistance programs. We should view those efforts as a positive because they challenge Trident Academy to do better.
Which brings me back to our Dial, #2, we can and must aggressively work to find ways to use our energy and efforts to promote our 'Health Indicators' being positive, bright green 'yes' answers rather than cautionary yellow 'maybe' signals or even worse, flashing 'no' red lights. When a problem arises, which is inevitable in schools, we need to proactively and constructively engage one another to develop both a common understanding of the issue and a shared resolve to implement the solution. We all need to be leaders in creating a culture or shared responsibility to solve problems rather than assign blame or make excuses.
As of this date, March 6, 2012, we are fortunate that the efforts of past and current teachers, administrators and families have resulted in Dial #2 being strong enough to motivate prior Trident Academy families to pay for the buildings, to endow scholarships and to establish a reputation for excellence in learning differences education.
Now, the opportunity and responsibility to promote Trident Academy's healthy indicators is ours. We have many green lights and the opportunity to address any red or yellow lights.
I look forward to witnessing our collective efforts to "ADVANCE" Trident Academy and to celebrate those bright green lights with the community at large!

Slipping Away
Asheyna stood at the window. Everyone else was sleeping, but as usual, she was wide awake. Night time was her time. Too many people in the day, their thoughts, all the activity. It was often more than she could handle.
The moon shone in through the dusty glass and she looked at it, a single tear escaping and falling to the floor. No one else was coming. She had waited for weeks, no word except that single cryptic message from Gwen. They had done nothing about it, just waited. On hold, until something happened.
"I'm so sick of this," she pressed her hand against the glass. Jack was caught, Bluejay was too and Gwen barely escaped. And where the heck was Dark? He should have been here a day, two at the most, behind them. And Archi, Archi betrayed them all.
Taking a deep breath she knew she couldn't wait any longer. Should I wake him up? She froze, should she? Part of her was shocked she would even ask. The other half knew it was better alone. Her fingers wrapped into a fist, she barely stopped herself from punching through the glass.
A note, she would leave a note and then they would all be free to do what they would. She wasn't about to force anyone into anything.
She slipped out her room and walked softly into the living room. Her sketchbook was there. Loathing to sacrifice even one sheet of fresh paper she tore out one of her most recent sketches; a lily, crushed and lying in a pool of water.
As she turned to leave the living room she saw a few sets of keys sitting on one of the tables. Surely Spockeh and the boys didn't need all those cars. She picked up one with the JEEP logo on the keychain, excellent.
As she pushed open the one door she knew for certain wouldn't creak she took in the freshly painted walls of the Safe. They were bright, vibrant, and beautiful. The others had been thrilled. Two boys safe on a makeshift raft flowing down a river, a woman on a balcony while a man hid in the bushes, two branches off a path in a forest, and so many more of their kind. All done in Afro's unique style with pieces here and there that spoke of a softer touch. She smiled at the memory before entering the room.
For once the little ferret didn't come to greet her, she was glad. It may have been too tempting to "adopt" a new friend. But she could never do that to Afro, as cute as Reeza might be.
She left the paper, note side up, on the bed beside the sleeping figure and slipped out of the room.
I'm sorry. I can't wait anymore it's driving me crazy. I didn't want to wake anyone up, I'm headed East.
Fighting back tears she slipped out of the room and silently closed the door.
As she locked the front door behind her she heard someone clearing their throat the same instant she felt a hand on her shoulder.
Oh crap. How the hell did they find us? Those and a million other thoughts flashed through her mind as she spun to meet her attacker.
"What, you didn't think we'd let you take off all by yourself?" A smiling face with a ball of white on his shoulder greeted her. "You took the keys for the JEEP, nice... Come on, we gotta get out of here before Spockeh catches you with those."
Numbly she let him take her by the hand and lead her to where the vehicles were hidden. Somehow he got the keys from her hand without a fight, let her into the driver's side and handed her Reeza and his backpack before slipping into the driver's seat.
"I figured it was only a matter of time before your friend's note drove you crazy and you had to do something. So... let's go do something then." He smiled at her, she couldn't help but smile back as he turned the key and the JEEP roared to life.

Age Related Macular Degeneration
Sensational Seniors
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a disease associated with aging that gradually destroys sharp, central vision. Central vision is needed for seeing objects clearly and for common daily tasks such as reading and driving.
AMD affects the macula, the part of the eye that allows you to see fine detail. AMD causes no pain. In some cases, AMD advances so slowly that people notice little change in their vision. In others, the disease progresses faster and may lead to a loss of vision in both eyes. AMD is a leading cause of vision loss in Americans 60 years of age and older.
AMD occurs in two forms: wet and dry.
Where is the macula?
The macula is located in the center of the retina, the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye. The retina instantly converts light, or an image, into electrical impulses. The retina then sends these impulses, or nerve signals, to the brain.
What is wet AMD?
Wet AMD occurs when abnormal blood vessels behind the retina start to grow under the macula. These new blood vessels tend to be very fragile and often leak blood and fluid. The blood and fluid raise the macula from its normal place at the back of the eye. Damage to the macula occurs rapidly.
With wet AMD, loss of central vision can occur quickly. Wet AMD is also known as advanced AMD. It does not have stages like dry AMD.
An early symptom of wet AMD is that straight lines appear wavy. If you notice this condition or other changes to your vision, contact your eye care professional at once. You need a comprehensive dilated eye exam.
What is dry AMD?
Dry AMD occurs when the light-sensitive cells in the macula slowly break down, gradually blurring central vision in the affected eye. As dry AMD gets worse, you may see a blurred spot in the center of your vision. Over time, as less of the macula functions, central vision is gradually lost in the affected eye.
The most common symptom of dry AMD is slightly blurred vision. You may have difficulty recognizing faces. You may need more light for reading and other tasks. Dry AMD generally affects both eyes, but vision can be lost in one eye while the other eye seems unaffected.
One of the most common early signs of dry AMD is drusen.
What are drusen?
Drusen are yellow deposits under the retina. They often are found in people over age 60. Your eye care professional can detect drusen during a comprehensive dilated eye exam.
Drusen alone do not usually cause vision loss. In fact, scientists are unclear about the connection between drusen and AMD. They do know that an increase in the size or number of drusen raises a person's risk of developing either advanced dry AMD or wet AMD. These changes can cause serious vision loss.
Dry AMD has three stages, all of which may occur in one or both eyes.
- Early AMD. People with early AMD have either several small drusen or a few medium-sized drusen. At this stage, there are no symptoms and no vision loss.
- Intermediate AMD. People with intermediate AMD have either many medium-sized drusen or one or more large drusen. Some people see a blurred spot in the center of their vision. More light may be needed for reading and other tasks.
- Advanced Dry AMD. In addition to drusen, people with advanced dry AMD have a breakdown of light-sensitive cells and supporting tissue in the central retinal area. This breakdown can cause a blurred spot in the center of your vision. Over time, the blurred spot may get bigger and darker, taking more of your central vision. You may have difficulty reading or recognizing faces until they are very close to you.
If you have vision loss from dry AMD in one eye only, you may not notice any changes in your overall vision. With the other eye seeing clearly, you still can drive, read, and see fine details. You may notice changes in your vision only if AMD affects both eyes. If blurriness occurs in your vision, see an eye care professional for a comprehensive dilated eye exam.
Ninety percent of all people with AMD have this type. Scientists are still not sure what causes dry AMD.
Can the dry form of AMD turn into the wet form?
Yes. All people who have the wet form had the dry form first.
The dry form can advance and cause vision loss without turning into the wet form. The dry form also can suddenly turn into the wet form, even during early stage AMD. There is no way to tell if or when the dry form will turn into the wet form.
The dry form has early and intermediate stages. Does the wet form have similar stages?
Yes. Both the wet form and the advanced dry form are considered advanced AMD. Vision loss occurs with either form. In most cases, only advanced AMD can cause vision loss.
People who have advanced AMD in one eye are at especially high risk of developing advanced AMD in the other eye.
Who is at risk for AMD?
The greatest risk factor is age. Although AMD may occur during middle age, studies show that people over age 60 are clearly at greater risk than other age groups. For instance, a large study found that people in middle-age have about a 2 percent risk of getting AMD, but this risk increased to nearly 30 percent in those over age 75. Other risk factors include:
- Obesity. Research studies suggest a link between obesity and the progression of early and intermediate stage AMD to advanced AMD.
- Race. Whites are much more likely to lose vision from AMD than African Americans.
- Family history. Those with immediate family members who have AMD are at a higher risk of developing the disease.
- Gender. Women appear to be at greater risk than men.
Can my lifestyle make a difference?
Your lifestyle can play a role in reducing your risk of developing AMD.
- Eat a healthy diet high in green leafy vegetables and fish.
- Maintain normal blood pressure.
- Watch your weight.
- Exercise.
Drinking and AMD
Adults who down at least four alcoholic drinks a day are six times more likely to develop age-related macular degeneration (AMD) - eye damage that leads to blindness -- than nondrinkers. Alcohol produces extra free radicals -- rogue molecules that batter healthy cells, including those in your eyes' most light-sensitive areas. Normally your body removes free radicals, but drinking can get in the way of this process. Bottom line: This looks like another reason to curtail over-indulging.
Wine. Getting important flavonoids from an occasional glass of wine can mean less chance of developing AMD. Pour a glass just once a month and you'll receive the benefits. One the other hand, research shows those who drink beer increase their risk of AMD.
Fish and AMD
Eating fish at least once a week may reduce your risk of macular degeneration by 50 percent. The key, researchers say, could be in the Omega-3 fatty acids. They are believed to reduce inflammation in the retina.
What are the symptoms of AMD?
Both dry and wet AMD cause no pain.
For dry AMD: the most common early sign is blurred vision. As fewer cells in the macula are able to function, people will see details less clearly in front of them, such as faces or words in a book. Often this blurred vision will go away in brighter light. If the loss of these light-sensing cells becomes great, people may see a small--but growing--blind spot in the middle of their field of vision.
For wet AMD: the classic early symptom is that straight lines appear crooked. This results when fluid from the leaking blood vessels gathers and lifts the macula, distorting vision. A small blind spot may also appear in wet AMD, resulting in loss of one's central vision.
How is wet AMD treated?
Wet AMD can be treated with laser surgery, photodynamic therapy, and injections into the eye. None of these treatments is a cure for wet AMD. The disease and loss of vision may progress despite treatment.
1. Laser surgery. This procedure uses a laser to destroy the fragile, leaky blood vessels. A high energy beam of light is aimed directly onto the new blood vessels and destroys them, preventing further loss of vision. However, laser treatment may also destroy some surrounding healthy tissue and some vision. Only a small percentage of people with wet AMD can be treated with laser surgery. Laser surgery is more effective if the leaky blood vessels have developed away from the fovea, the central part of the macula. (See illustration at the beginning of this document.) Laser surgery is performed in a doctor's office or eye clinic.
The risk of new blood vessels developing after laser treatment is high. Repeated treatments may be necessary. In some cases, vision loss may progress despite repeated treatments.
2. Photodynamic therapy. A drug called verteporfin is injected into your arm. It travels throughout the body, including the new blood vessels in your eye. The drug tends to "stick" to the surface of new blood vessels. Next, a light is shined into your eye for about 90 seconds. The light activates the drug. The activated drug destroys the new blood vessels and leads to a slower rate of vision decline. Unlike laser surgery, this drug does not destroy surrounding healthy tissue. Because the drug is activated by light, you must avoid exposing your skin or eyes to direct sunlight or bright indoor light for five days after treatment.
Photodynamic therapy is relatively painless. It takes about 20 minutes and can be performed in a doctor's office.
Photodynamic therapy slows the rate of vision loss. It does not stop vision loss or restore vision in eyes already damaged by advanced AMD. Treatment results often are temporary. You may need to be treated again.
3. Injections. Wet AMD can now be treated with new drugs that are injected into the eye (anti-VEGF therapy). Abnormally high levels of a specific growth factor occur in eyes with wet AMD and promote the growth of abnormal new blood vessels. This drug treatment blocks the effects of the growth factor.
You will need multiple injections that may be given as often as monthly. The eye is numbed before each injection. After the injection, you will remain in the doctor's office for a while and your eye will be monitored. This drug treatment can help slow down vision loss from AMD and in some cases improve sight.
How is dry AMD treated?
Once dry AMD reaches the advanced stage, no form of treatment can prevent vision loss. However, treatment can delay and possibly prevent intermediate AMD from progressing to the advanced stage, in which vision loss occurs.
The National Eye Institute's Age Related Eye Disease Study (AREDS) found that taking a specific high dose formulation of antioxidants and zinc significantly reduces the risk of advanced AMD and its associated vision loss. Slowing AMD's progression from the intermediate stage to the advanced stage will save the vision of many people.

Retiring sergeant major Marine passes sword to replacement
CAMP LEJEUNE, ONSLOW COUNTY - The retiring sergeant major for Marine Corps Installations East-Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune has passed the sword to the Marine taking his place.
Sergeant Maj. Paul Berry accepted the sword from former Sgt. Maj. Ernest Hoopii, who is retiring with 30 years of service in the Marine Corps.
"It's very humbling when I stand up there because I'm nobody special," Berry said. "I just represent the commanding general and support his goals and the local community."
It was an emotional experience for Hoopii.
"I've got a kaleidoscope of emotions going on," Hoopii said. "I'm going to see a room filled with people that I have befriended and loved for 30 years.
It's a position where a senior enlisted Marine oversees all installations on the East Coast.
"Your job is to be available, keep your door open, somebody is going to come see you, somebody is going to call, and they're going to have a concern, and they just don't know who to go to," Berry said.
"Our families, Marines, sailors, airmen that live on our stations need us to ensure the quality of life," Hoopii said.
Hoopii's new mission -- enjoying retirement.
"I want to start a garden, plant some fruit trees, maybe work on my tan," Hoopii laughed.
Words of wisdom for those who will one day fill Berry's shoes:
"If you can earn the title of Marine, there's nothing you can't do in life," Berry said.

But, when times get tough in the NYR organization, fans turn to try to attack individual players including Stepan, simply because they themselves just can't handle the fact that for the first week of the season, the team didn't play as well as they expected.
People need to learn to follow a team.
There doesn't need to be a scapegoat. You don't need to scream at a guy you don't like, or ask for the coach to be fired.
The fact that we have threads going at half of this team's roster right now is comical bordering on embarrassing.
Well said. I'm finding myself leaving the board more and more disappointed recently and this explains a lot of the reason why better than I could have explained it myself. Thank you.
Stepan has made some boneheaded mistakes so far, as have many other players. He's also putting up points, which others aren't, and he, like most of the players that are struggling on this team right now, has a long history of high quality play and is not about to just fall off a cliff all of a sudden.

Recess has come to an end, let The Senate of Mind resume its duties.
Matters for consideration are as follows: Heart demands another lust purge; Time grants for piano practice over the next several weeks; Time grant for discussion with one Meg Evans; Time grant reduction for Personal Pluralities Committee (with emphasis upon Facebook Sector); The current state of Heart and any complications thereof.
The Senate of Mind shall now be seated.
Third Order: Heart demands another lust purge.
Speaker: It would seem that Heart has not given up its battle against lust. As a result, it has been requested that yet another purge be put into effect. How does the Senate find?
Senator 2: Sire, if I may, there is no use putting another purge into effect. Heart is plagued regardless, Sire.
Senator 1: Sire, I beg to differ. In the past, purges have significantly reduced the power of lust in relation to Heart. Citizens are made happy by the purges, Sire.
Senator 3: Sire, I must second the former opinion. Purges are not entirely effective, and the desired effect is only temporary, Sire.
Speaker: This decision shall be put to a vote. A simple majority is required to pass or deny the proposed purge. All in favor of the purge?
43 senators raise their hands (including the Speaker).
Speaker: All not in favor of the purge?
52 senators raise their hands. 5 senators refused to vote on this proposal.
Speaker: Then it is agreed that Heart's requested lust purge will not be granted.
The Speaker stamps a piece of parchment before moving on.
Fourth Order: Time grants for piano practice over the next several weeks.
Speaker: The Emperor has expressed his concern for upcoming music school auditions. He decrees that a time grant be alotted to piano practice for the amount of 4 to 5 hours each day over the next several weeks. How does the Senate find?
Senator 1: Sire, "several weeks" could be construed as anywhere from 2 to 200 weeks. May the Senate elicit an implied definition from the word "several", Sire?
Senator 2: Sire, as the Emperor holds music as one of the most important exercises in life, I propose that the definition of "several" should contain as many weeks as there are contained between today and the day of the first audition. It would be a most wise decision, Sire.
Senators 1,3 and4: Here, here.
Speaker: I assume that the greatest obstacle to this statute would arise from the Personal Pluralities Committee. What do the members thereof hold?
Senator 5 (Committee Chair): Sire, the Committee is willing to compromise in order to satisfy the Emperor. We shall convene on appropriations on a later date if necessary, Sire.
Other members of the Committee express their approval of the Chair's statement.
Speaker: Very well. It is agreed that a time grant of 4 to 5 hours each day will be alotted for the advancement of piano expression from this date until the date of the first audition. Is there unanimity in the Senate?
All: There is.
Quietly, the Emperor watches as the Senate carries on with its business.
