By: Brandon Shelton
I received an excellent inquiry recently about music licensing for theatrical productions of plays and recitals in school and college productions. This is such a great topic, because it is probably one of the most relevant, yet least understood areas of law that apply to performance artists. The question was, in a nutshell: what are the music licensing requirements of a director/producer of school productions? To answer that question, it would be helpful to know the extent to which songs are even protectable under US copyright law. Following that explanation, the intent of this article is to provide guidance regarding the use of music in local educational play productions and recitals.
The Bundle(s) of Sticks
The first step in understanding your obligations in licensing music is to understand what you have to license in the first place. When I'm stuck in traffic unapologetically blaring No Tears Left to Cry, objectively it would appear that I'm only enjoying one thing: Ariana Grande's song. However, there is more there than meets my ears. What I am listening to is a recording of a song written by someone (which, in the world of pop music, is unfortunately not likely to be the person in the magazine cutout hanging on the wall next to your bed). That recording in and of itself has its own set of rights that the "author" owns, which you can think of as a bundle of sticks attached to it. The reason is because copyright law grants the bundle of sticks to any person who "fixes" a "work of authorship" to any "medium." Here, the "medium" is the digital sound recording, the "work of authorship" is the song, and it was fixed when Ariana laid down that sweet track. So, you might think, well, as long as I pay something to Ariana, I should be good! I wish it were that simple.
Without casting a judgment on who writes what in the world of pop music these days, there is a second medium that someone fixed somewhere: the composition. As a certified band dork in high school, I assume it was on some coffee stained sheet music somewhere, but if I had to wager a guess, music producers probably have much cooler ways of fixing a composition onto some medium. Bringing this conversation back to Earth: the point is that there are usually two "works of authorship" you need to consider licensing, depending on what you are relaying to your audience. One might be a specific sound recording (if you choose to play a specific recording), and the other is the composition of the song itself.
So, What About My Play?
The specific question I received about this licensing issue was: "…when I put on a production that is basically a musical review/recital, what are my legal responsibilities? I am not putting on a full production, just cherry-picking a song from Shrek, and a song or two from Anastasia, etc. Should I pay royalties for the use of one song out of context from the show?"
The short answer is: maybe (I bet you thought you were going to get a simple yes or no. Ha!). The first question you might ask yourself is: is this a public performance? One of the sticks in the bundle is the right to publicly perform the work. It is generally accepted that private performances do not require a license (I know I'd feel pretty violated if ASCAP required there to be a credit card slot in my shower if I sang along to Sunflower), but the line between a private and public performance is not always very clear. If you are putting on a small production for the singing and viewing pleasure of a few students in your classes, it's not likely that that production would be considered a public performance, because only the people in your class performing the song are the ones permitted to attend the performance. It is generally accepted that such performances are considered "for instruction only," and thus outside the scope of public performances.
But what if you invite parents to the class to see the progress your students have made, or to give one last performance for their parents to hear? Since this performance starts to creep outside of the "for instruction only" exception, this likely would require a public performance license.
There's also a second embedded question in there, which is: "What if I only use a little bit of one song?" Copyright law protects the work, even if you only use some of the work, so a license is likely still needed. There are some folks out there who have had some success in simply sending a request for permission to use a song (or a limited excerpt) in an educational production, especially if it's for a really limited production run (like a single performance). However, as a rule of thumb, it would be best to assume you might need to pay for a license.
One Last Wrinkle: Drama or No Drama?
To make things even more complex here, courts and licensing companies alike make a distinction between dramatic and non-dramatic public performances. According to ASCAP:
As a general rule a dramatic performance usually involves using the work to tell a story or as part of a story or plot. Thus, when songs are employed as part of a dramatic production – a Broadway musical such as Hamilton or in a ballet such as Twyla Tharp's "Nine Sinatra Songs", for example – the performances of the music are dramatic and beyond the scope of an ASCAP license. In addition, excerpts of musicals accompanied by dialogue, pantomime, dance, stage action, or visual representation of the work from which the music is taken, and incorporating a live or recorded performance of a song into a story or plot – even though the composition was not originally written for a musical play – would also result in a dramatic performance of the song.
By contrast, when a singer sings songs from several Broadway musicals, a medley of songs from one particular play, or a medley of unrelated songs as part of a concert, revue or cabaret show, those are "nondramatic" public performances.
See ASCAP – Common Licensing Terms Defined, available at https://www.ascap.com/help/ascap-licensing/licensing-terms-defined. This distinction is important, because it determines who you can reach out to for permission and licensing. If it is a dramatic production, then you actually have to reach out directly to the rightsholder. If it is a non-dramatic production, then it would be sufficient to license the music through the licensing companies, though you can still reach out to the rightsholders for permission to perform the songs. However, this distinction isn't always particularly clear, so if you aren't sure, it would be a good idea to reach out to the rightsholder directly to see what they will require for permission. Since most licensing companies such as ASCAP and BMI are non-exclusive licensors, you can always reach out to the rightsholders no matter what to seek permission.
Back to the Specific Question
Based on the question asked in this inquiry, our reader will need permission one way or another. Since it sounds like the production being put on is more or less a medley of excerpts from songs being sung in a non-dramatic fashion to parents in a final production, it would be sufficient to seek a license for public performance of a composition through a non-exclusive licensing company, such as ASCAP or BMI. However, if there is some kind of story being told on stage with your students, where the Shrek songs and such have some contribution to the story arc, then you will likely need to reach out to the rightsholders themselves for permission. In either case, reaching out to the rightsholders would probably be the better option, or at least would be a good idea, since you can compare what the rightsholder asks of you in the way of compensation versus what the non-exclusive licensing companies require. Below are some helpful links and contacts for those seeking to license performance rights related to Shrek: The Musical and Anastasia.

Teacher Training Checklist
written by Dan Azzarello on the topic of Education on November, 2009
Can you imagine paying over $100 for a ticket to a professional football game only to watch in disbelief as the teams take the gridiron in a disorderly fashion, wearing uniforms that do not match on a field that is not lined properly? To your dismay, the coaches are not present, half the lights are out due to poor maintenance, and it becomes quite evident as the game progresses that the athletes are not in shape and are mindlessly wandering the field. Absolutely not! You would not pay $5, let alone $100, to attend such a fiasco. How can something like this occur? The answer is quite simple: lack of preparation and training.
Allow me to put an educational spin on the above illustration. Would you pay to send your child to a school where chaos and disorder run rampant, the facilities are not maintained, and the teachers are in the break room instead of in their classrooms? Would you continue to pay if, as the semester progresses, it is apparent that the teaching abilities of your child's teachers have taken a lengthy sabbatical—even though the teacher is physically present? We respond that we certainly would not, but the truth is that many parents do continue to pay for just such nonsense because they do not want their children in a godless environment.
You would never find the opening paragraph to be true because those involved are professionals; however, the second paragraph is far more believable and unfortunately tolerated. Why – lack of preparation and training.
Please take a moment to honestly complete this personal preparation and student training check-up.
1. How much time did you spend on average preparing for each course that you taught last week?
- A. 5 minutes or less
- B. 5 – 10 minutes
- C. 10 minutes or more
2. How often do you start class or a meeting late?
- A. Often
- B. Occasionally
- C. Rarely
3. How would you describe your office's/classroom's appearance right now?
- A. Disorderly
- B. Clean but could be better
- C. Ready for inspection
4. How would you describe your school's appearance right now?
- A. Disorderly
- B. Clean but could be better
- C. Ready for inspection
5. Do you know your students' academic strengths and weaknesses?
- A. Not really
- B. I'm working on it
- C. Yes
6. How well would your students perform if they were tested by another teacher using your notes?
- A. Disastrous! I'm the only one that knows how to test my students.
- B. I have never really thought about it.
- C. Bring on the challenge.
7. What best describes your daily purpose as an educator?
- A. I want my students to pass the next test.
- B. I want my students to pass my class.
- C. I want my students to succeed in life.
8. What word best describes your methods of discipline for your students?
- A. Tirades
- B. Sporadic
- C. Consistent
9. How often do you communicate with the parents of your students?
- A. They call me; I don't call them.
- B. When a problem arises
- C. Consistently for negative, preventative, and positive items
10. What are your thoughts with regard to professional growth?
- A. Experience is all the growth I need.
- B. I know I should continue learning, but I do not have the time.
- C. I am actively learning and growing in my profession.
To calculate your score:
- 10-15 – You are answering honestly, but you are in need of an overhaul in the areas of preparing for your class and training your students. If you don't like the results, do your part to begin fixing these items today.
- 16-24 – You are a good teacher, but with a little more discipline you can improve your weaknesses and build upon your strengths to be a great teacher.
- 25-30 – In the areas of preparation and training, you are a great educator and an inspiration to all.
Regardless of your score, none of us has arrived. Those of you who are looking for ways to improve in the areas of preparation and training, please read part two of this article in next month's issue.

The skills passed down by a father to his children are invaluable. It's more than just how to switch a fuse or properly complete a 1040 form, which we recognize are lessons moms often teach, as well. We cherish the less-used but just as pertinent know-how only Dad would share. Wasn't it he who explained how to avoid embarrassing yourself when ordering a Chicago-style hot dog (no ketchup allowed) and told you all about the significance of Han Solo shooting first in "Star Wars"?
We've partnered with Energizer to compile this list of some of the best things dads teach their kids. We may have forgotten it was he who taught us these gifts, but we're genuinely better people for knowing how to properly eat -- and spit -- sunflower seeds.
How to sleep outdoors.
Lots of us remember camping trips with Dad when we were kids. While it was good fun most of the time, trying to sleep on the cold, rocky ground while mosquitoes ate you alive wasn't the most comfortable way to snooze. But with practice and Dad's encouraging "fresh air" attitude, you got used to it: You learned to be so active during the day that by the time you snuggled into your sleeping bag, you were so tuckered out that the root under you head may as well been a pillow.
How to catch lightning bugs and the importance of preserving life.
Catching these flickering, floating lights was a whimsical backyard experience, and Dad was right there to demonstrate how to do it. Then he taught you about how fragile life is and the responsibility you have to preserve it: Just because you can smash a lightning bug and smear its fluorescent hue across the sidewalk doesn't mean you should.
Handkerchiefs are disgusting, but sometimes useful.
Handkerchiefs may be balled up rags of snot. And at times you were a little disgusted that Dad carried one, but were glad he did when you needed it to dry tears, contain an unexpected bloody nose, or dry off a wet stadium seat after a rain delay.
How to dance using only the parts of your body from the waist up.
You've never known anyone else to so accurately convey his joy and excitement through dance with only using his upper body. Especially the arms, which are usually flailing in all directions with index fingers waving proudly.
How to order steak at a restaurant (i.e., as rare as they will allow).
Dad firmly believes that nothing tastes worse than overcooked meat. If you're going to order a steak, you should eat it perfectly marbled, seared on the outside and red all the way through.
How to measure with your feet.
It could be the distance from the pitcher's mound to home plate, the size of a room or a piece of furniture, or the winner of horseshoes.
Shopping carts are meant for racing.
Dad knew how to make a trip to the grocery store exciting. More often than not, picking up paper towels and bananas included sitting in the basket of the cart while he pushed at race car speeds.
There is an ideal blanket-to-pillow ratio for building a fort in the living room.
And sometimes the perfect fort requires chairs from the dining room and encyclopedias from of the book shelves.
... And the only purpose of a throw pillow is to build pillow forts.
You don't actually sleep on them. In fact, you pull them off the bed before crawling under the covers. So, really, they're only good to fortify your forts.
Keep your eye on the ball -- literally and metaphorically.
From little league to academia, it was his mantra. Living by those words of wisdom, you batted .450 and graduated with honors.
How to fall asleep anywhere.
At the Thanksgiving table as everyone else finished coffee and dessert, in the middle of a Broadway musical, or on the side of a mountain (refer to the first item on this list) -- if he's sitting down, there is a 100 percent chance that he will fall asleep.
There are very few things in life that will give you greater pleasure than being outside on a beautiful day.
Is it raining? Go outside and play. You'll thank yourself later.
How to make a tornado in a box and other amazing science fair projects.
Dad demonstrated the coolest experiments and shared the most mind-blowing observations science had to offer. Sometimes it was stargazing through a telescope and mapping out constellations. Other times, he got out the toolbox and the two of you built a tornado in a box that put last year's baking soda volcano to shame.
Why "Hoosiers" is one of the greatest movies of all time.
Or maybe it was "The Princess Bride" or "The Godfather." Either way, he introduced you to great films that not only gave you points of reference within pop culture, but also opened your eyes to great art and storytelling.
Shoveling snow and mowing the lawn is a great workout.
Every weekend in the scorching heat of summer with a push mower, in a two-hour span only the front lawn was finished and you had sweat half of your body weight off. Shoveling in wintertime generally had the same effect. The multiple layers of clothes acted as both insulation and sponge, soaking up perspiration from all the heavy lifting. Having chores also taught you responsibility and stuff, too.
Lift with your legs and not with your back.
Dad shared this morsel of sage wisdom while laid-up the couch after he and your uncle moved your grandmother's antique armoire. File this one under another Dad favorite: "Do as I say and not as I do."
You have to earn your Monopoly win.
No one will ever let you win in life, therefore, he was not going to let you win at the Game of Life, nor Clue, nor Scrabble.
A great meal at a local diner can be just as good as (and sometimes better than) any meal at a fancy, three-star restaurant.
Sometimes the most expensive doesn't always translate to the best. A turkey club and dill pickle at the deli around the corner is as good as an unpronounceable dish at the French restaurant downtown.
On road trips, never leave home without going to the bathroom and packing a cooler full of drinks and snacks.
This was to avoid making too many stops on the road, however, Dad didn't account for the fact that easy access to the contents of the cooler requires additional bathroom stops. Then again, bathroom stops are free. The large soda and burger at the next exit is not. So maybe he had it figured out, after all.
Dad will always love you.
Even if you disagree on politics, religion and parenting, he still loves you.
Whether it's camping in the dark, walking the dog at night or making a late night snack together, make Dad a hands-free hero with the new Energizer headlights.

Sorry, Gov. Brown, You Can't Veto Legalizing Weed
On Nov. 8, Californians had the chance to legalize recreational marijuana use in their state. But even though voters passed Proposition 64, some might worry that a veto by Gov. Jerry Brown could end the dreams of legalized pot use. But because of the state's rather unique proposition system, no California governor can veto a ballot measure that a majority passes in the Golden State.
California's system of turning a ballot initiative into law is a unique one. All the way back in 1911, then-governor Hiram Johnson set the stage for California's current process, by giving voters the power to craft initiatives and referendums, not to mention the infamous recall. (Current California Gov. Brown has been threatened with a recall eight times.)
The idea was to institute a form of government closer to "direct democracy," with the power to legislate put firmly in the hands of voters. The pros and cons of giving the general population that kind of power are regularly argued over, but California's system looks unlikely to change anytime soon. And that's good news for the "Yes on 64" crowd.
Gov. Brown, has voiced criticism and concerns about the issue of legalizing recreational pot use in the past. Despite being a Democrat and leading one of the most liberal states in the nation, Brown has declined to weigh in on the measure, according to The Intercept. Back in 2010, a majority of voters agreed with Brown, at least in terms of legalizing recreational marijuana. Proposition 19 was similar to 2016's Proposition 64, but was defeated at the polls by a margin of 7 points.
Since then, four states have legalized recreational marijuana: Alaska, Colorado, Oregon, and Washington. And this year, Arizona, Maine, Massachusetts, and Nevada also voted on whether to make their states open to recreational weed (at the time of writing, results were still coming in but Massachusetts had also legalized recreational marijuana). It seems likely that the shift of attitude in California is due, at least in part, to the example of other states moving forward with legalization. And unfortunately for Brown, California doesn't allow him any veto power to stop it.

Archibald raises parading concerns
Sinn Féin MLA Caoimhe Archibald has met with the Parades Commission to raise concerns over a number of marches in the Coleraine area over the summer.
Commenting after the meeting, the East Derry MLA said: "I met with the Parades Commission to discuss concerns raised throughout the parading season by local residents in Coleraine.
"Over the past couple of years the marching season in Coleraine has passed off largely peacefully and we would like that to continue in future.
"However, a number of incidents occurred during band parades this year and I have engaged with the PSNI and Parades Commission over the past number of months on these.
"I had a useful discussion with the Parades Commission today and welcome that they are looking at how to address the concerns raised."

RNA - The media bureau of Hashd al-Sha'abi forces announced in a statement on Monday that the 40th Brigade of the volunteer forces had purged 13 villages, including Ayn al-Jahesh, Msheirfeh, ʻArish, Khirbet al-Yazidi, Albu Jarad, Ayn al-Bayda, of Daesh extremists.
Separately, the 4th and 24th brigades of Hashd al-Sha'abi, supported by government troops, destroyed a number of militant hideouts and defused six improvised explosive devices northeast of the town of Miqdadiyah, which lies in Iraq's eastern province of Diyala and located about 80 kilometers northeast of the capital Baghdad.
A statement by the media office of the Joint Operations Command said on Monday that the Iraqi army, police and Hashd al-Sha'abi units, backed by the Iraqi Air Force fighter jets, had launched the third phase of the Will of Victory Operation in the eastern Diyala province and Nineveh province in the north.
The statement said the troops had begun search operations in rural areas near the towns of Miqdadiyah, Jalawla and Khanaqin in Diyala province.
Also in Nineveh province, the troops commenced an operation to clear the rugged areas of al-Atshanah and the mountain ranges of Badush and Sheikh Ibrahim in west and northwest of the provincial capital city of Mosul.
According to Press TV, the second-in-command of the Joint Operations Command (JOC), Lieutenant General Abdul Amir Rasheed Yarallah, said in a statement on July 20 that Iraqi military forces had launched the second phase of the Will of Victory Operation to hunt down Daesh remnants north of Baghdad and areas nearby.
The statement noted that the offensive aims to "beef up security and stability in areas north of Baghdad and surrounding areas in the provinces of Diyala, Salahuddin and Anbar."
It said that units from the Baghdad Operations Command, command operations from Diyala, Samarra and Anbar, the Federal Police Command, rapid response teams, Hashd al-Sha'abi fighters and the special forces regiment of the Operations Department of the Chief of Staff of the Army as well as the Special Task Force of the Directorate of Military Intelligence were participating in the offensive.
Iraq's army and the voluntary forces began the first phase of the Will of Victory Operation early on July 7, the military said in a statement, adding that the operation would last several days and was aimed at securing the province of Anbar and the central and northern regions of Salahuddin and Nineveh.


text: Every good book offers splinter stories. The challenge is trying to be inventive while remaining true to the original. And, Hollywood likes formulas. Having said that, if you are willing to open your mind and think of this as an original or a stand alone, you will enjoy the ride. It's a combination of a wink, nod and effort. Forrest Whittaker almost did a great job – at times he overplayed and others he underplayed. The rest of the cast was good. The fighting scenes were a bit too long for me making the story longer than it needed to be but overall, like other "shows" before it (ie battle star galactic, guardians of the galaxy (tv) etc.) it's fun. Yes date night, something for both of you!

Greenmeadows School caters for 480 students in Years 1 to 6 in Napier. Since the September 2015 ERO report, significant roll growth has occurred. Māori students now make up 22% of students.
The school vision is 'Ma te ako te tipu ka taea', 'Through learning we grow and achieve'. The three key values are: 'excellence- be the best they can be, respect for self and others; and perseverance'. The key strategic school priorities are: raising student achievement, creating an enabling environment for students and having an engaged community.
Leaders and teachers regularly report to the board, schoolwide information about outcomes for students in the following areas:
mid-year and end of year achievement information in reading, writing and mathematics
a range of learning support and teacher aide programmes, including those using external agency expertise.
An experienced and stable school leadership team welcomed a new deputy principal in Term 2, 2018. Most staff are long serving. Two trustees provide continuity with many trustees elected since 2016.
Staff have participated in professional learning and development in te reo me ngā tikanga Māori for culturally responsive practices, investigative play for junior students, growth coaching, leadership, reading, mathematics and e-learning.
The school is continuing to strengthen systems and processes to improve equity and excellence in student outcomes by reducing disparity for boys and Māori learners.
Most students meet expectations in reading and mathematics, with a large majority achieving well in writing. Girls generally achieve better than boys.
School systems focused on accelerating Māori and other students who need this, is strengthening. Mid-year 2018 data for targeted learners in reading, indicates some Māori students are making accelerated gains.
The progress of students involved in specific intervention and learning support programmes is carefully monitored and evaluated for their positive impact on each learner.
School systems and processes to support more effective and equitable learning have improved. Staff proactively identify, monitor and reflect on target students' progress, particularly in reading. This provides the focus for teachers' formal inquiry into their practice. An aligned coaching approach helps teachers to reflect on how well strategies are working for targeted students.
Professional leadership focuses on maximising learning for students and staff within a supportive environment. There are high expectations for teaching and learning. Sound staff support systems encourage ongoing growth in teaching practices. The special education needs coordinator (SENCO) provides cohesive and active support for learners and staff.
Some new approaches are beginning to enrich the school curriculum. Recent professional development in te reo me ngā tikanga Māori is improving schoolwide understandings and practices. This includes building on local Māori history and knowledge. Māori learners are provided with opportunities to celebrate their identity, culture and language.
In response to the changing needs of younger students, teachers are increasing the flexibility of the junior curriculum. The use of investigative play to increase engagement is being carefully monitored and implemented.
Collaborative practices within syndicates proactively meet student interests and needs. Staff share information, strategies and good practices. Consistent structures support students to make choice, self-manage and work independently. Students are increasing their use of assessment information to identify their next steps, particularly in writing.
Positive and respectful relationships between students and with staff support student's confidence to take risks and pride in being a member of the school community. Students value the wide range of learning opportunities such as music, sports and leadership roles.
School stewardship is firmly focused on enabling students to have equitable opportunities to learn across the breadth of the curriculum. Trustees regularly scrutinise data for evidence of the positive impact of school strategic goals and targets. They are very well-informed about the impact of special programmes. Regular reviews of policy, procedure and practices support sound school operation.
The principal, staff and board developed a draft curriculum statement to facilitate planned community consultation. This includes developing a graduate profile, students' ownership of their learning, culturally responsive practices and e-learning. It is timely to proceed with this key development.
As teachers continue to strengthen their inquiry into their target students, they should deepen the analysis and evaluation of the effectiveness of their strategies. Developing school guidelines for teacher appraisal, teaching as inquiry and the role of coaching should assist with this.
More regular reporting to the board on the ongoing progress of targeted students should enable trustees to know how well this focus contributes to increased equity and excellence in student outcomes.
Before the review, the board and principal of the school completed the ERO board assurance statement and self-audit checklists. In these documents they attested that they had taken all reasonable steps to meet their legislative obligations related to the following:
During the review, ERO checked the following items because they have a potentially high impact on student safety and wellbeing:
emotional safety of students (including prevention of bullying and sexual harassment)
physical safety of students
teacher registration and certification
processes for appointing staff
stand down, suspension, expulsion and exclusion of students
school policies in relation to meeting the requirements of the Vulnerable Children Act 2014.
For sustained improvement and future learner success, the school can draw on existing strengths in:
high quality professional leadership, teaching and governance that focuses on improving learning opportunities and student outcomes
knowing each student well and catering to their learning needs and interests, particularly for those involved in special support programmes
developing systems that identify, track and monitor the progress of students who need additional assistance to achieve well.
For sustained improvement and future learner success, priorities for further development are in:
continuing to grow a culturally responsive curriculum that enables students to lead more of their learning, including use of e-learning
strengthening teacher analysis of assessment information and evaluation to support improved learner outcomes as part of the appraisal process, teaching as inquiry and coaching model.
ERO is likely to carry out the next external evaluation in three years.

6 Simple Rules For Your Investment Strategy
The 21st century has provided the human race with a previously unthinkable amount of technology and, by extension, data, information and productivity tools. One has to ask, however, if on balance, this explosion of technology has been beneficial to the human race.
Many significant developments have been largely frivolous, such as Facebook Inc (NASDAQ: FB) and Twitter Inc (NYSE: TWTR). Others, particularly those relating to weapons and the tools of war, are ominous. Also falling under this category would be the ever more complex and opaque, yet ultimately ponzi-like, financing schemes that nearly imploded the global economy in 2008.
Of course, there is much that is positive as well, such as the emergence of clean, alternative energy sources and the technology driving critical infrastructure in developing economies. Nevertheless, a fair and objective analysis suggests the sword of breakneck technological evolution cuts both ways. Nowhere is this more evident than the world of finance. The prospect of investing in 2016 can be a truly dizzying undertaking for the average retail investor saving for retirement.
While on the one hand, investors today have access to an unprecedented amount of financial data and information at the tip of their fingertips, the process of assimilating it into a cohesive strategy may be more confusing than ever. In today's market landscape of high-frequency trading, leveraged ETFs, 24-hour electronic trading in markets across the world and never-before-seen levels of global central-bank intervention, how should an investor approach obtaining a reasonable rate of return on their capital?
In this article, a handful of simple rules any investor can use to implement a coherent and disciplined strategy are explored. Investors can avoid a vast majority of the myriad pitfalls that beset the average do-it-yourself stock picker. If the goal is to build a portfolio of high-quality equity securities that offers a respectable yield, the potential for market-beating returns and a more attractive risk/reward profile than the S&P 500, consider implementing the following six rules.
1. Invest in stocks that offer an easy-to-understand, fairly straightforward company business model.
This is advisable for a few different reasons. First, as an investor, you will be able to make significantly better buy/sell decisions with regard to a particular stock if you have a solid understanding of the business and the levers that drive key metrics such as sales, margins and net income. Second, by avoiding opaque and overly complex business models, investors are likely to avoid devastating outcomes such as fraud, as was the case with Enron, or unseen and hard to quantify risks, such as Lehman Brothers' massive subprime exposure in the wake of the housing market meltdown.
A strong grasp of a company's business model will also help investors ride out short-term volatility and keep a long-term perspective, generate more accurate forward-looking projections and more easily assimilate news, management statements and Wall Street research into an investment thesis.
Furthermore, there are just an awful lot of great companies with extremely simple core businesses. Examples include McDonald's Corporation (NYSE: MCD), Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL) and Starbucks Corporation (NASDAQ: SBUX).
This piece of advice is one of the hallmarks of Warren Buffett's long-term investing philosophy. Buffett and his partner Charlie Munger have repeatedly stressed the importance of sticking to their "circle of competency" when making equity investments. It may be wise to do the same.
2. Invest only in companies that are "best in breed."
Typically, these companies are synonymous with quality, have terrific management teams, are admired in the marketplace and are known for being the best at what they do. Investing in "best in breed" companies positively leverages the passage of time.
More often than not, these companies have inherent advantages over their competitors, and over the course of an investment horizon, these dynamics will work in the high-quality company's favor while continuously disadvantaging the lower-quality competitor.
Look for companies that have first-rate, established brands or companies with extremely strong emerging brands. Throughout the course of American business, great brands have been synonymous with terrific long-term investments. Keep in mind, however, that in some sectors, the concept of "brand" means less than in other areas of the market. Branding, for example, is considerably less significant in the mining sector than in retail.
Overall, it's best to stick with preeminent, ubiquitous, and highly-admired brands and underweight sectors where these stocks are hard to find or do not exist. When investing in less "brand conscious" sectors, however, stick with the "best in breed" companies and follow the other parts of the strategy highlighted here. The concept of brands being "moats" around businesses is something that Warren Buffett has spoken about in-depth. Furthermore, if you look at many of the best performing stocks in history, all have one thing in common: a tremendous brand
In addition to the stocks mentioned under the first rule, consider some other examples like Nike Inc (NYSE: NKE), Ralph Lauren Corp (NYSE: RL), Alphabet Inc (NASDAQ: GOOG) (NASDAQ: GOOGL) and The Coca-Cola Co (NYSE: KO).
3. Invest in winners.
While the old investing axiom "past results do not guarantee future performance" is true — and frequently repeated — it's also misleading. In order for a stock to meet the criteria of the investment strategy laid out here, it has to be a strong past performer. It doesn't have to be up over the last year or even a couple of years, but the long-term chart has to be compelling.
Ask yourself the following: Do you want to invest in a business, brand and management team that has destroyed shareholder value over the long term or one that has made shareholders rich?
The answer is obvious. Buy stocks that fit the above metrics and have performed well over a substantial period of time. If you are screening for tremendously-established brands as well as rapidly-emerging brands, this shouldn't be a problem. Most companies that fit this profile have a great long-term track record of creating shareholder value.
4. Invest in mid- and large-cap companies and try to avoid small-cap names.
This is particularly true for less aggressive investors who are seeking solid returns with the same or less risk than the S&P 500 (market risk). This isn't an edict, as there are some great small companies that would fit into this investing framework, but make sure that most of your picks conform to this advice.
Like many of the tips provided here, it aligns with the Benjamin Graham and Warren Buffett school of investing and is primarily based on limiting risk. Conversely, investors who are looking for the highest returns possible, with little to no regard for risk, should fill their portfolios almost exclusively with small-cap stocks.
For the average investor, however, focusing primarily on more established companies will help to avoid catastrophic losses. Furthermore, if you're investing in "best in breed" companies and preeminent brands, following this rule shouldn't be a problem.
5. Try to focus on companies that pay out dividends.
Again, this is not an edict. Technology industry bellwether Apple did not pay a dividend for many years, despite fitting seamlessly into this investing framework in every other way. Google (Alphabet) also does not pay a dividend, but again is a highly recommended stock according to this investment philosophy.
Dividends are important for a number of reasons. First, they can meaningfully boost returns, and a good portion of the stock market's historical return has been as a result of dividends. Also, they have the added benefit of limiting downside risk: As the share price of dividend stocks declines, the yield goes up. As the yield continues to rise due to a falling share price, theoretically, the stock becomes more and more attractive to buyers on the sidelines. In this way, a quarterly dividend can frequently act as a floor for a declining share price.
Examples of great dividend stocks that would fit this framework include Altria Group Inc (NYSE: MO), owner of the Marlboro cigarette brand, and competitor Reynolds American, Inc. (NYSE: RAI), owner of the Camel brand.
6. Ideally, investors should look for companies that operate diversified, high-volume businesses.
This includes diversification of both product lines and markets. For example, Walt Disney Co (NYSE: DIS) operates a variety of different media and entertainment businesses, including television channels, movie studios, resorts and theme parks. Furthermore, the company is also diversified geographically, with a large international footprint. Both of these factors give Walt Disney a very strong platform for continued organic growth.
These are compelling investment themes when evaluating individual equities.
Another aspect of a business that investors should weigh is relative sales volume. For example, Chipotle Mexican Grill, Inc. (NYSE: CMG) sells a lot of burritos to a large number of consumers at a relatively low price. This is an example of a high volume business. Although these types of businesses generally will have lower margins than say an enterprise software company, their revenues are also much more stable and predictable. Whereas the software company's sales could fall off a cliff if one big customer leaves, this isn't the case for the burrito-maker. And, while Chipotle's sales did actually fall off dramatically in recent quarters as a result of the food contamination crisis at the company, analysts are projecting a recovery and record high sales in fiscal 2017.
Post-Script: On Valuation
Finally, a quick note about valuation and when to make stock purchases. Ideally, you want to buy stocks that fit this framework either on significant market pullbacks or when the stock is breaking out from a large consolidation area or base. The idea of buying on breakouts from large basing areas comes from legendary investor and founder of Investor's Business Daily William O'Neill's CAN SLIM strategy.
In particular, look for this pattern with emerging brand stocks and try to buy the more established companies as cheap as possible to hold onto for the long haul.
The Bottom Line
Is the old saying "nothing ever changes on Wall Street" accurate? The answer is a definitive yes and no. On the one hand, technology has completely revolutionized the investing landscape. Today, market structure is dominated by computer algorithms, which operate on millisecond timelines. Electronic trading has given investors unprecedented, real-time access to a wide variety of asset classes across the globe. Astounding amounts of financial data can be accessed with the push of a keystroke. Brokerage commissions have plummeted, bid/ask spreads are narrower and financial news is ubiquitous.
Many of these developments have helped the individual investor, the so-called "little guy." But, they have also contributed an intimidating amount of complexity and confusion to the process of do-it-yourself investing. This leads back to what hasn't changed and never will change on Wall Street.
In order to beat the herd, a well thought out, disciplined investment strategy is paramount. The framework provided in this article is meant to allow investors to distill the vast universe of stocks down into a manageable portfolio of high-quality securities. By focusing on just a handful of key metrics designed to minimize risk while maximizing potential returns, individual investors can position themselves well ahead of the investing curve.

It seems spring is right around the corner in wonderful northeast Ohio. Though, we've been known to get one last blast in March, and it's usually quite treacherous. So we'll see how that plays out. But either way, we're doing our best to keep things warm! We've been writing and rehearsing quite a bit lately! We're preparing for what's sure to be an amazing recording session in March. We're broadening our horizons some, and are musically branching out a bit. You'll just have to stay tuned for the outcome! We've got a lot of big things on tap for spring and summer, but we're still in the plotting/scheming stage. We'll release more info as it gels.
But until then, come hang out with us at The Boom Room! We're playing with an amazing band out of Indianapolis called Reaul. These guys have a very palatable, roots/americana rock mixed with indie pop sound. And they pull it off extremely well. They're currently touring all over the midwest as a benefit to VH1's Save the Music Foundation. The show starts at 10, and we hit around 11 or so. See the flyer for more info. Come out to see an amazing show, at an amazing original music venue, right here in town. It's been a while since Warren has had a true music venue. One dedicated to enhancing the scene, and providing bands a killer location to play. Be sure to come check it out if you haven't yet. And if you have, well, we'll be there. Come kick it! :)
Next up, we're heading out on the road for a couple of shows in March, and are working on the rest of our schedule for spring as we speak. On March 13 we're playing at The Hi Fi Concert Club in Lakewood, OH. We'll update here with more info soon. On March 14 we're off to Covington, KY for a show with The Black Mondays (a wildly entertaining drag troupe) at Leapin' Lizard Gallery... a former church whose sanctuary has been turned into a bar! Come spend a night full of debauchery in a formerly sacred house. There will be belly dancing, drag, booze and DJs! That should rustle a few cosmic feathers, eh? :) Peep the poster for more info!
So that's about it for now. As soon as we get the OK to leak some information, we will. Promise. But until then, keep showin' us love and support by coming out to the shows, buying some merch to support our quest for the musical grail, and SPREADING THE WORD!! Tell people about us and where they can check us out, bring them to shows, and hell, burn 'em a cd! :) We hope to see you all soon!

Should US president Donald Trump decide to exit the nuclear deal with Iran on Tuesday, recent data published by statista.com shows that the European Union will be more affected by the move than the US.
Since the deal was sealed in 2015, European companies have increased and strengthened economic ties with Iran. This triggered a spike in the value of trade in both directions from USD 9.2 billion to USD 16.4 billion one year later. The trend continued in 2017, when the value increased to USD 25 billion.
Some of Europe's major companies enjoying highly lucrative deals in Iran include French company Total, Royal Dutch Shell and Airbus.
In contrast, US companies have not reaped the benefits of the opportunity to enter a new and emerging market. The value of US-Iran imports and exports only amounted to just over USD 200 million.
That is why, it is believed that Brussels is considering applying a series of countermeasures in the event of a US withdrawal from the Iran nuclear deal.

The quick answer is YES you should specialize and find a niche.
It's impossible to be an expert in everything. You were likely trained in many areas of your profession and have the ability to see many different types of clients – but that doesn't mean you should see everyone. Picking a niche doesn't mean that you won't see other things in your practice – chances are you WILL. Clients are human beings who have a lot of things going on. If you work with humans, you will never have 2 clients that are exactly the same.
So how do you pick a niche? Choosing a specialty is usually the first thing that scares people about starting a private practice – but it shouldn't. Start by taking clients in a few common areas in your field at first. As your business grows, you will start to notice which clients excite you and which bore you. Then you can narrow it down to what types of clients you WANT to see more of and start to form your niche.
Already know what type of niche you're passionate about? You are ahead of the game!
After you narrow in on your specialty, another big part of the "vision process" involves determining who your dream client is. Every business starts with this step, because you need to know who you're marketing to.
More questions to ask yourself: Do you want only a high-end clientele so you charge more and work less hours? Do you want to help young people, so your dream clients are college students just making their mark on the world? Do you want to work mainly with women? With the elderly? With a certain race or culture?
Then move on to how to reach this population. How are you going to solve their problems? How are you going to help them? What are they looking for in a provider? Where do they find the information they need?
The beauty of being your own boss is that YOU get to decide on the perfect type of clients for you. Everyone is different and that's the beauty of being in charge of your own destiny!

The Clean Energy Package: it is now or never!
Ten months after the publication of the "Clean Energy Package", discussions in the Parliament and the Council are in the full swing. The Parliament is about to vote its first draft report in the ITRE committee this week –on the Energy Performance in buildings Directive – while the Council already adopted its general approach on the energy efficiency proposals last June. The French Union of Electricity underlines today the core issues for the French electricity sector and calls for French institutions to take action: the future of the French electricity system is now to be decided!Lire la suite


text: Switching on: Four things to think about before putting your heating on Posted 04/10/2019 by E.ON Summer's over and as the days shorten and nights get colder, we all start thinking about switching the heating back on. But the planet, and your bank balance, will thank you if before you do, you follow these tips to make keeping warm this winter greener and cheaper. Tip #1 - Banish draughts Draught-proofing can really make a difference to how easy it is to keep your home warm. The Energy Saving Trust estimates that draught-proofing around windows and doors, and blocking up the chimney if you're not using it, can instantly save around £35 a year. Plus with the draughts banished you'll likely not need to have the heating on so often, or so high, so will be able to reduce your bills even further. Adding in cavity wall and loft insulation will help ensure that no heat is escaping from your home. Tip #2 - Use blankets and rugs Many of us today have wooden floors and covering them with rugs during the winter can help your home to stay warm and cosy. Insulating underneath the floorboards on the ground floor will also make a big difference and could save you around £40 a year on heating bills. Feeling cosy with a blanket is also a great way to keep the bills lower. Good Housekeeping has found a lovely winter collection to choose from. Tip #3 -Make sure your boiler is efficient How well your boiler works will have a big impact on your carbon footprint and your budget. The older your boiler is, the less efficient it will be. New A-rated boilers are guaranteed to be 94% efficient, meaning you'll use less gas and spend less on your heating bills. All of our new boilers are A-rated, and come with interest free credit options and a 10-year guarantee. So check out our offers before it gets really cold this winter. Tip #4 - Use a smart thermostat Smart thermostats can help save energy and money. tado° lets you control your heating from your smart phone so that you need never waste energy on heating again when you're not going to be coming home when you planned. You can set it up to use geo-tracking on all family members so that it knows when someone is coming home and can switch the heating and hot water on to welcome them. It can also track the weather and adjust the heating temperature accordingly. Installing a tado° can help you save up to money on your annual heating bills. Plus if you combine it with smart radiator thermostats you can control each room in the house individually too, saving even more energy and money. So now that the autumn is getting well underway, and winter is just around the corner, make sure you act on these energy saving tips before you turn the heating on. The planet and your budget will both be a lot happier if you do.

About Me
I believe that education is important for success in the professional world and the real world. I believe that education can be attained both in the classroom and outside of the classroom through work and life experiences. I believe that a person only gets what they give. If a student is willing to devote themselves 100%, then they are capable of receiving 100%. I believe that education is a life-long process and we should always be curious and engaged in learning.
I received my associate's degree in English from Ricks College in 1997. I highly recommend this strategy in college education. Making the transition from high school to a community college is much more effective in creating a prepared and well-rounded student for the university environment. I received my bachelor's degree in English from Utah State University in 1999 with an emphasis in technical communications. I have worked as a technical writer for over ten years.
I have taught English at the collegiate level for the past three years at Illinois Valley Community College. I taught developmental English, or basic composition for students who did not place into college English. I also tutored students in the campus writing center for three years. I can help with any stage of the writing process including brainstorming and organization, rough drafts, revisions, and final drafts. I am familiar with different writing styles including MLA, APA, and Chicago style. I have experience working with a diverse student population as well.
I am a wife and mother of three daughters, and am currently looking for part-time work in the Midland area. My family and I recently moved here from the Illinois valley. I am happy to be back in Michigan, where I grew up, so that we can be closer to family and friends. I look forward to the summer months when we can spend time enjoying the wonderful beaches and outdoors of Michigan.

Man! What a weekend!
I am still processing, and don't have all my notes with me to make a real recap, but have to say God truly showed up!
I have never been to an orphan summit so I don't know what to compare it to, but there was some serious Holy Spirit involvement.
I am so so glad D came along!! Ladies if you have a chance to go to one, and can bring your man...DO IT! Having the guys there to represent, as well as hear all the info given truly changes lives!
Carolyn's husband and D were at the Project HOPEFUL table with us all weekend. They are real men with a true heart for the orphan and a love for their kids. They drew in a bunch of people and truly made a difference in some lives. :)
D is totally sold out now, he was wrecked at this weekend. I prayed that would be what would happen. I prayed he would see the face of Jesus, and see why it is that this tugs me so much. He does. He had some scales removed from his eyes, let me tell you!! It was a true joy to be there with him and experience this with him. We learned a ton together… and I needed his shoulder more than once for my own tears. I am not sure I have cried more in a 24hr period than I did at this conference. In a good way!
I got to meet Tom Davis and have a great conversation with him. Also Andy Lehman, great heart, and really great guys. Eileen Mestas killed it!!! She was phenomenal!!
Susan Hillis knocked our socks off with her AIDS/HIV statistics and information. Still trying to process that one, but let me tell you folks, the outlook isn't pretty if we do not do SOMEthing about this crisis. It's not just about adopting children with HIV, or even adoption in general, but if the church does not step up and do something about this crisis, we will be in a hurting…
Meredith Andrews was an amazing worship leader!!! She truly touched us, and even though her voice was leaving her, she was AWESOME!
Met some amazing women and men all passionate about the same thing, children, orphans, widows ….making a change.
We learned about the impact of Micro loans and how they can make a true difference. So many holistic ways to help end this crisis… not just adoption, not just foster care… but truly making a difference to care for the ones Jesus loved the most.
There are also a bunch of really BIG opportunities that came from it. Lots of great connections, and some big decisions to be made!! Can't share most of them because they are still in the works and still being developed…but it's truly exciting…and scary at the same time.
So that's all I have for now… more soon …
But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as from the Lord, the Spirit. 2 Cor 3:18

Mid Atlantic Orphan Summit Thoughts

I'm so glad you and D had the opportunity to attend the Orphan Summit. Completely reaffirming and life changing, all at the same time. Wasn't it wonderful to be surrounded by people who 'get you'??????
Excited to hear and see what God does with all of this and witness the outcome of it all!
I LOVE Eileen Mestas too!!!!!

Hello!

First of all, thank you for developing this app!

I started with release 8? (august) and every once in a while the search engine would switch to Yahoo! for the search engine.
 I would delete all the engines in the list except google, but it would still randomly do it sometimes weeks apart maybe days.
 but randomly nevertheless

Then I updated to version 9 and it didn't switch once so I thought it was a bug that was fixed.

I have now updated to version 10 and it did the switheroo to Yahoo! again this evening.

not a big deal - just annoying.

thanx
 k!

As 2015 draws to a close, it's hard to find anything redemptive about it.
The Iraqi army seems to be largely in control of the rubble that used to be Ramadi, indicating that the carpet bombing approach endorsed by almost all the Republican candidates for president is not too different from the approach being used by the Obama administration. A couple of Sunni militias seem to have been involved in the "reconquest," but it remains to be seen whether the Abadi government will turn out to be any less sectarian than the Maliki government.
Tamir Rice's murderer has been cleared by a grand jury under the transparently biased guidance of County Prosecutor T. J. McGinty. Anybody who's watched the intro to "Law and Order" knows that police and prosecutors are as close as two turds in a toilet. Cases of potential police abuse should always be handled by outside prosecutors — preferably from outside the state.
The Canadians have started admitting the 25,000 Syrian refugees they plan to accept in the coming year. Uh oh! Looks like we'll need a border wall to the north as well as to the south! (Tr*mp, of course, will make the Canadians pay for it.)
I was looking at my very first post to this blog, from January 2008, and found the following:
Hillary Clinton says, "Just
trust me. My experience as First
Lady means I understand the change you
want even better
than you do, and I promise to deliver. It'll be just
like when
Bill was President. You'll be back to drinking lattes and
making paper fortunes in no time flat!"
Uh huh. She'll just
"change" things back to the way they were
before Dubya and all your
dreams will come true. But what if
you're like me, and the Clinton
Administration made you
nostalgic for the liberalism of the Nixon Administration?
And by the way, just what's the chance of Hillary
giving up those new authoritarian powers Bush/Cheney
usurped for the presidency? (I'd put it just shy of 0.03%.)
I didn't have much hope for "hope and change" either, and I was right. Happy New Year.

When customers enter your lobby they pick up a feel for your company from the way the lobby looks. It is important to make that look into the correct message and image. The styles and materials for a law office, a CPA firm, a parts distribution company or a repair shop need to be very different. A great lobby sign the correct your style and company function. It results in an increase the number of "yes" answers from clients, the number of referrals and the "add on" sales you can make.

There are shapes and images that convey meaning so fast – they are more meaningful than words. They often come from Europe and the some come from ancient times. Their easy of recognition, their speed of understanding, and their universal meaning makes them as useful today as they were in the middle ages.
