Not sold on our tech-stock picks? No problem: The Web offers plenty of ways to find your own candidates. Here are three good ways to research and find the best prospects.
Why waste time screening and researching if you can get mutual fund managers to do the work for you? Fund managers spend all day researching investment opportunities and have access to more information than you’ll ever see. Although analyst recommendations are often tainted by potential conflicts of interests, mutual fund managers buy a stock for only one reason: They think it’s headed north.
Unfortunately, most funds conceal their trading activity until months after the fact. Below are two fund families that reveal trades early enough for investors to act on. Both are low turnover funds, meaning their managers follow a buy-and-hold strategy. You can use their largest holdings as a source of investment ideas and pay attention to the stocks they are dumping or loading up on.
Robert Loest manages the IPS Millennium (a blend of tech and dividend payers) and New Frontier funds (all tech). His recent results have suffered along with everybody else, but his Millennium fund boasts a 21 percent average annual return over the past five years. Loest’s Portfolio Manager Diary offers insider commentary on his recent trades as well as his take on the market. Most useful is his analysis of specific market sub-sectors. Loest describes where the sector fits into the overall market and offers his take on the leaders. It’s a fascinating education on tech stocks you won’t find anywhere else.
Munder was a relatively unknown fund family until its NetNet fund, one of the first Internet funds, made headlines by scoring huge returns in 1998 and 1999. Last year was another story, but NetNet still carries a four-star rating from Morningstar. Don’t worry about the name; NetNet has always focused more on Net infrastructure companies than on dot-coms.
Munder runs more than 20 funds in a variety of sectors. NetNet and Future Technology focus on technology. A monthly commentary on each fund lists all transactions for the previous month and the rationale for each trade. You can also see the top 10 holdings for each fund.
This is the valuation barometer. Look for stocks with a P/S below 10. Below five is ideal.
Companies with positive operating cash flow are safer investments than cash burners. Look for the “+” sign.
If mutual funds and pension plans invest in your stock, it is for one reason: They think it will earn money. Look for stocks in which institutions own 30 percent or more of outstanding shares.
Changes in gross-profit-margin percentage signal competitive shifts in the marketplace. Compare percentage gains or losses over the last four or five quarters. Look for trends that are flat or increasing (but ignore variations of less than 1 percent).
Slowing revenue growth signals danger ahead. Use a calculator to figure out the most recent quarter’s growth rate from the same quarter a year earlier; then compare to one-year sales growth. Look for most recent quarter growth of at least 85 percent of one-year growth.
You can screen for stocks all over the Web, but Morningstar’s Stock Selector rates stocks in four categories using easy to understand grades: A, B, C, D, and F. You can search for stocks based on the grades.
Financial health: Morningstar analyzes critical financial data including cash, cash flows, and debt levels to calculate the grade. This is the kind of analysis you should do on every stock since financially strong companies are the most likely to lead the recovery.
Growth: The best grades go to companies with not just high but accelerating sales growth. Companies can report earnings growth by cutting costs, but in the end, a company can only grow as fast as it grows sales. Faltering sales growth signals problems ahead.
Market pundits tell us small- and mid-cap stocks will outperform large-caps in the recovery, so I used the screener’s style box to narrow the search to “small growth” stocks. That search came up with nine interesting candidates.
Still stuck without good prospects? Here’s a simple screen you can run, tailored to the tech sector and combining elements of several successful value-selection strategies. Quicken.com’s Stock Screener uses price/sales ratio to spot value-priced stocks and looks for companies with consistent earnings growth and strong financials.
Price/Sales ratio: 2.0 maximum. Tech stocks below 2.0 are considered value-priced.
One-year EPS growth: 15 percent minimum. Cheap stocks without earnings growth will likely get even cheaper.
Long-term debt/equity ratio: 0.5 percent maximum. High debt levels put a company at a competitive disadvantage.
Consider the results of any screen, no matter how well thought out, not as a buy list but as a list of candidates worthy of further research.

The Igala socio- cultural group has described the inclusion of Igala land as part of Biafra as an insult to the sensibility of the people.
Igala land is in the Eastern part of Kogi state sharing a border with Anambra state.
The group at a press briefing in Lokoja on Wednesday said that including Igala land on the paper was not only insulting but also provocative to the Igala race.
Chief Barry Idakwo who addressed the conference said that the declaration of Igala Kingdom as a clan by the Biafra agitators is definitely a product of ignorance of history and mischief.
“This is against the spirit of fairness, sovereignty, equity, peaceful cohabitation and democracy to forcefully and falsely claim that a great kingdom as the Igala kingdom, which was never defeated in any war is part of Biafra” Idakwo explained.
The group unequivocally pointed that the ethnic nationality is not part of the Biafra agitation believing that every Nigerian citizen has the constitutional right to freely live where ever such an individual or group so chooses within the ambit of our laws and in the interest of peace and security.
The Igala social-cultural groups, however, urge their Igbo brothers to engage the Nigeria nation more purposefully for quality governance rather than agitations for the separatist state.
They equally extended their message to the Northern Youths to embrace the oneness of Nigeria as a Nation.
Idakwo further underscores why Nigeria must remain an indivisible nation “We, as a people in the Middle Belt crave for peace at all times because when war breaks out, we will be at the receiving end as the theatre of war. The last civil war holds very unpleasant testimonies”.
On the issue of marginalisation being canvassed by the agitators, idakwo expressed dismay that there is a minimal federal presence in terms of infrastructure and economic activities in igala kingdom, even when their allegiance and commitment to the stability of the federal government is total.
The group, however, drew the attention of the federal government to look into issues that may threaten the peace and development of the Igala kingdom.
Some of their demands are; the need to continue urgently the construction of Bagana-Guto bridge to ease access to the Federal Capital Territory as this will encourage economic activities, unity and proximity to the centre of governance; establishment of a full fledged Naval Base at Idah, and establishment of an army barrack in Olamaboro Local Government Area; and swearing in the minister from Kogi State, Prof Stephen Ikani Ocheni immediately to enable them have sense of belonging and input to national affairs.

Designer Bob Bailey has given us an exciting and colourful look at the design process for Anita and Me. The first images were created in Photoshop and show potential designs and configurations of the back yards of the terrace houses in the fictional village of Tollington, based on Essington in the early 1970s. Bob explains 'these images helped refine the idea further and further until I felt confident enough to start making a sketch model, which then led to further refinements leading to the finished design. Roxana Silbert (the Director) and I agreed that the back yard should give an impression of real life and that we needed to create a feeling of a tight-knit community; all the locations mentioned in the script would be manipulated and revealed by the actors and that we would keep the style easy and fun'.
The set is a large semi-circle of bald grass, quite scrubby. Bordering this, there is a semi-circle of gates which lead to the backs of terraced houses all squashed together backing onto this patch. We get a sense of small back gardens behind the gates – all with washing lines. Each back yard has an outside loo and its own identity. Some have flowers and gnomes, whilst others have a pile up of broken prams, bikes and junk. Most of the action of the play will take place in this scrubby patch. It is a play area for the local kids, as well as a meeting point, junkyard, garage and drinking place. There are a couple of lanes or alleyways that run from the street outside, down the sides of the houses big enough for a car to fit through. We see the industrial landscape of Wolverhampton’s factory chimneys in the backdrop.
Anita and Me opens at Wolverhampton Grand theatre, where it plays from 14 to 18 February 2017. It then tours to Cheltenham, Blackpool, Nottingham, Bradford and Edinburgh.

text: Defence Secretary Gavin Williamson is set to announce that a new £48 million chemical weapons facility will be located at the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory in Porton Down. In light of the growing threat from Russia and North Korea, scientists at the Wiltshire lab recently helped identify the nerve agent used to attack ex-Russian spy Sergei Skripal in Salisbury. As the UK plans to expel 23 Russian diplomats in response to the reported Russian involvement in the attack, Williamson will say that expertise in chemical, biological and radiological warfare needs to be further developed to confront potential hostile activity by states and individuals. The Defence Secretary will also reveal that thousands of British troops will be vaccinated against anthrax, so that they are ready to deploy to areas where the risk of this type of attack exists.

Dubai: Young people in the UAE have thrown their lot into an international online campaign to capture an Ugandan warlord accused of creating thousands of child soldiers.
The Kony 2012 initiative has attracted hundreds of thousands of supporters globally over the past week, saying they too want to help make a difference.
Created by American filmmaker Jason Russell, Kony 2012 is the latest video to be released by the American non-profit organisation Invisible Children.
It aims to make war criminal Joseph Kony infamous and see him brought to justice by the end of 2012.
This is a conflict that has been going on for over two decades and is little known in the world. In 2003, Russell and two other American filmmakers headed to Africa where they came across the atrocities being committed in Uganda. This led to the filming of their 50-minute documentary called Invisible Children. The film was released in 2005 and received a large response and Invisible Children was established as an official non-profit organisation in 2006.
Within two days of the latest Kony video's release students in the UAE had formed several groups such as: KONY DUBAI - 2012, KONY 2012 - Supporters From UAE Kony 2012 - UAE and Kony 2012 (UAE), each of which works to spread awareness among the residents of the country.
Nikhil Koshy, one of the founders of the group KONY 2012 — Supporters From UAE told Gulf News: "None of us were aware of Joseph Kony or the crimes he committed, but after seeing the video we decided we needed to do something to help raise awareness around the world."
The group, which has over 250 members, aims at spreading awareness through their Facebook page. Koshy said: "Facebook is a big community with millions of members. One share will be viewed by a person's entire list and is a good way to get the message out."
To make their page unique they have done a series of interviews with fellow students to find out what they think about the Kony movement and inspire others to share their views.
Another group, Kony2012 — UAE is looking to take their support for the cause a step further, through a series of in-school events.
According to the group's main moderator and event planner, Fabio Troiano, most of the groups 4,130 members are based in the UAE, and about 60 per cent are aged 12 to 25.
He said: "It starts with the students. If we get the word out to them, they will go home and spread what they have learned among their friends and family. This will help get other people interested and they will in turn want to know more, and this will help us find people to help us host a larger event."

text: Roger Broughton’s Avalon Comics has collected many of the old ACG stories from yesteryear, and published them in specials like this one. Weird features some fine Basil Wolverton strangeness in “The Man Who Never Smiled;” a classic Steve Ditko piece, “The Last Laugh;” and the truly strange tale, “The Metamorphosis of the Gkmloooms” about a race of radiation-infected monsters and their awful plans for humanity. It’s an odd collection to be sure, but also a great chance to see early works by several influential artists.

Thank you for reporting. I notice that one other user reported the same problem on http://forums.thebrain.com/post/welcome-to-thebrain-9-first-look-preview-7840819.
They were able to locate the troublesome thought in version 8 and then re-import without any problems.
From the error msg, I opened the .png and managed to find the corresponding thought.
That thought had three .png in it.
Two named explicitly and the third being "TheBrainIcon.png".
One was named "Copy of TheBrainIcon.png" and I remembered I had copied "TheBrainIcon.png" as a file within that thought (named "Copy of TheBrainIcon.png").
Although I don't see why this would be a problem (as they have different names (and two files can't actually have the same name in the same folder ...)) I decided to make distinct thoughts out of these two files.
From there on the import worked.
In the mean time, I'm trying to replicate this issue. So any additional information you have would be welcome!
Thanks Matt - good idea, but...I did not find a file "Icon.png" anywhere in the subfolders of the _brain-folder! (Couldn't believe it, so I actually tried two different Filesearch-Utils as well as good ol' "DIR /S" - but it really is not there!
I did not have a "Icon.png" in that folder (or elsewhere either).
But in the folder TheBrain reports it encountered an error, there was a .png.
Opening that .png allowed me to identify the thought containing it (that .png was about a MOOC on Plasma Physics I had followed at EPFL, so wasn't to hard for me to find the corresponding thought).
I then modified that thought (could/would have deleted it if modifying it would not have helped ...), and I was then able to import that brain.
Thanks Roger, unfortunately that file was a rather generic icon and I have no clue to which thought it might be linked. The file, however, has a creation-date of 2010, it is not current - so I scanned all files from that date (incl. the day before and after) and did not find a corresponding image-file.
BTW, you wrote you "modified" the thought. So simply editing the notes helped? Or what did you do?

Glad you figured out great char cloth! I went to a pioneer village in Logan last summer and we were showed how to make char cloth this same way — it was surprisingly flammable. Great post!
Great post Angela. This one is a keeper. I’m going to look for that fabric next time I go to Wal-Mart.
great article. I am going to add some char cloth to my fire kit, along side my dryer lint. May I have permission to reprint this article at http://www.72hourplan.com?? I will of course maintain your byline and link back to utah preppers.
Very nice, this is something I’ve been working on as of late. Thanks for sharing.
Then you have the method I learned in BYU Youth Leadership aka Desert/Alpine survival – back in 1975 (when you “spend 3 days in the classroom and 28 days in the beautiful Uinta Mountains”).
We used old dishrags or dishtowels that were 100% cotton. This was before everyone used dryer sheets in the dryer. Dryer sheets mess things up. Wash your old rags/towels in plain with a little SOAP – NOT detergent, which is what most bath soap now adays is. Rinse them well with water that has some vinegar in them and let them air-dry.
Have a #2 or #10 can ready to use to suffocate the fire you're going to make. Now using a finger-thickness piece of wood with a slit cut in the end, hold the towel/rag by one corner and light the opposite corner and let it burn until all of it is engulfed in flames. In fact, let it almost burn up. When it is fully burning, but before it's non-existant, drop it on FLAT ground and cover it with the can. (cloth on ground, can upside down over cloth) The material will continue to burn until it depletes the oxygen in the can (unless O2 can get UNDER the edge of the can). Then it will be suffocated. Let the can sit for about 10 mins to be sure the flames are entirely out and the fabric is cooled.
Break the fabric into small pieces and store in a 35mm film canister.
Easy-peasy. Takes about 11-12 mins to do. No wasted wood or gas fires.
About that dryer lint. Has anyone besides me actually tried to light a flint and steel fire with it? Mine melted, not burned as char cloth does. Well…duh. Most of our dryer lint is polyester/rayon/acrylic fibers and most people use dryer sheets in the dryer. Even some of the towels we have are not 100% cotton. ONLY 100% cotton (or wool or linen) will burn. Man-made stuff melts! So all the dryer lint people are saving probably won't do them any good. When man-made melts and you try blowing on it to increase the flame, it just gets hard and the fire goes out. Same with those cotton balls with the petroleum jelly on them IF they're not 100% COTTON. Yes, a lot of the cheaper “cotton balls” are actually “polyester balls” with little or no cotton in them. At least around here they are and they melt instead of burning.
3 hours?? wow, your a dumbass! LOL it shouldnt take that long 5-12 min produces plenty of carbon stained cloth. and it doesnt have to be cotton, just cloth of vegetation. no synthetics. the thicker the cloth, the better!

Should you need help finding troubled boys boarding schools, therapeutic boarding schools, teen boarding schools or traditional schools, please let us know. As the parent of a troubled teen, you’re faced with even greater challenges. This is especially true if your teen is abusing drugs or alcohol. A troubled teen faces behavioral, emotional, or learning problems beyond the normal teenage issues. While any negative behavior repeated over and over can be a sign of underlying trouble, it’s important for parents to understand which behaviors are normal during adolescent development, and which can point to more serious problems.

description The requested resource (Could not find the requested link) is not available.
Raymond Tomlinson, the inventor of modern email and selector of the "@" symbol, has died.
Raytheon Co., his employer, on Sunday confirmed his death; the details were not immediately available.
Email existed in a limited capacity before Tomlinson in that electronic messages could be shared amid multiple people within a limited framework. But until his invention in 1971 of the first network person-to-person email, there was no way to send something to a specific person at a specific address.
The first email was sent on the ARPANET system, a computer network that was created for the U.S. government that is considered a precursor to the Internet. Tomlinson also contributed to its development.
At the time, few people had personal computers. The popularity of personal email wouldn't take off until years later but has become an integral part of modern life.
"It wasn't an assignment at all, he was just fooling around; he was looking for something to do with ARPANET," Raytheon spokeswoman Joyce Kuzman said of his creation of network email.
Tomlinson once said in a company interview that he created email "mostly because it seemed like a neat idea." The first email was sent between two machines that were side-by-side, according to that interview.
He said the test messages were "entirely forgettable and I have, therefore, forgotten them." But when he was satisfied that the program seemed to work, he announced it via his own invention by sending a message to co-workers explaining how to use it.
Tomlinson chose the "@" symbol to connect the username with the destination address and it has now become a cultural icon.
Why that symbol? Kuzman said Tomlinson was looking at the keyboard and needed something that would not otherwise be part of the address and that seemed to be a logical solution.
"It is a symbol that probably would have gone away if not for email," she said.
MoMA's Department of Architecture and Design added the symbol into its collection in 2010, with credits to Tomlinson.
Tomlinson held electrical engineering degrees from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Tomlinson was an inductee to the Internet Hall of Fame and recipient of numerous awards and accolades but was described as humble and modest.
"People just loved to work with him," Kuzman said. "He was so patient and generous with his time ... He was just a really nice, down-to-earth, good guy."
Tomlinson was hired by Bolt Beranek and Newman, known as BBN, in 1967. It was later acquired by Raytheon Co., where he still worked at the time of his death, as a principal scientist.
He lived in Lincoln, Massachusetts where he raised miniature sheep. Attempts to contact his family were unsuccessful.
While more general email protocols were later developed and adopted, Tomlinson's contributions were never forgotten.
"He was pretty philosophical about it all," Kuzman said. "And was surprisingly not addicted to email."

Recipe for Spring: Start with 1.4 %Egg Yolk. Add Brain Freeze.
When he took on the office of the President of the United States in 1801, Thomas Jefferson brought with him his love for ice cream. Having most likely gotten his favorite ice cream recipe from his time serving as Minister to France, Jefferson often had the dessert served in what would, after a few years and a fire, come to be called the White House.
Just a hint of a smile in this portrait…I bet he’s thinking about ice cream. Thomas Jefferson, Public Domain, via Wikimedia Commons.
Jefferson accomplished a lot in his political career, but contrary to rumors that suggest otherwise, he did not introduce ice cream to the United States. He did, however, probably contribute to the spread of its popularity, and his handwritten recipe is the oldest of its kind known in the US.
It calls for cream, of course, and sugar, vanilla, and plenty of egg yolks. I’m sure it was good, and if you want to try Jefferson’s recipe, you can allegedly do so while visiting Mount Rushmore where the National Park Service will be happy to sell you a cone.
When we visited Mount Rushmore a few year ago, we had no idea we could have eaten Thomas Jefferson’s way back ice cream. Guess we’ll have to visit again. Mount Rushmore, National Park Service, Public Domain, via Wikimedia Commons.
But according to the FDA, what you’ll be eating won’t technically be ice cream, which is defined as a frozen dessert containing at least 10% milkfat, a maximum of 100% overrun (the amount of mixed in air), and less than 1.4% egg product. You’ll have to call it French ice cream, or frozen custard instead.
It’s the eggs that make the difference, as most American ice cream recipes now forgo eggs all together in order to make production cheaper and handing easier. Custard is generally served fresh, and is stored at a slightly warmer temperature than ice cream. And custard has a much lower overrun, making it denser (upside down frozen custard has been holding onto spoons since long before Dairy Queen’s Blizzards) and creamier and, often, much more delicious.
You can trust me on this because we St. Louisans know a thing or two about frozen custard, which outside of the return of baseball(and yes, I’m going to go out on a limb here and speak for all of us) is our favorite sign of spring.
Finally this week, spring has sprung here in Missouri. It happened officially this past Monday, but all the unofficial signs have begun arriving, too. The temperature reached into the 80s (it didn’t stay there, because Missouri), tornadoes have touched down, the dog is shedding EVERYWHERE, and the seasonal frozen custard stands are finally open.
This last one matters most to our family, and especially to my nine-year-old son. We pass one of his favorites every day on the way home from his school, and every day I have to decided whether I will stop to get an after school treat or whether I will explain to him why it’s not a custard day.
Obviously we stop much less often than we don’t, but he never fails to ask. Fortunately this stand, like many in the area, closes in late November and doesn’t open again until early to mid-March, so I get a few months off from this tedious conversation.
But now it’s open, and my son is relentless. What can I do? He’s a St. Louis kid. And he loves his frozen custard.
The Midwest fell in love with this creamiest of frozen dairy desserts in the 1930s. The first machine designed for producing frozen custard was about ten or twelve years old at that point and had already taken the Jersey shore by storm, but no one loves the stuff as much as Midwesterners (the true cultural center of the nation).
The city that grabbed hold the most enthusiastically is Milwaukee. Since Wisconsin is made of dairy cows and ice, it was a natural fit. Today that city calls itself (unofficially) the frozen custard capital of the world and boasts that it contains more frozen custard stands per capita than any other city. Good for them.
Our favorite local treat is Fritz’s Frozen Custard, a St. Louis tradition since 1983.
My son and I don’t drive past a Ted Drewes every day on our way home from school, but just because our stand is less famous, doesn’t mean it’s any less beloved. And most importantly, it’s now open for the season.
We’ve already made our first stop for rich, creamy, frozen dairy deliciousness complete with more than 1.4% egg yolk, consumed so enthusiastically that my son gave himself his first brain freeze of the spring. I think Thomas Jefferson (coincidentally my favorite historical president, only partially because of his love for frozen custard) would be proud.
Thanks for this interesting post, which brought back some pleasant memories.
I do enjoy a frozen custard on occasion– Silky’s or Fritz’s — in our neighborhood.
Confession time: I was born in St. Louis 68 years ago and have never been to Ted Drewes. Most likely because it was on the South Side, but in my North Side neighborhood, Velvet Freeze ruled. The Grand Boulevard bus stopped in front of The Freeze at the foot of the White Water Tower — every day after school. Also a visit to Velvet freeze was a must after Sunday Mass, time for a cherry coke or a small chocolate chip in a cup. It was after Mass on Sunday, November 24, 1963, that my siblings and I stopped in Velvet Freeze. The workers had their plastic radio up full blast, and everyone cheered at the news that Lee Harvey Oswald had been shot. Sorry for this long post, but it unwrapped a memory I hadn’t thought about in years.
No need to aplogize. I love that this brought back such strong memories for you! Having grown up in Central Illinois, I didn’t eat much frozen custard as a kid, but we listened to the Cardinal games on the radio all the time and heard the Ted Drewes commercials (a little less PC then…”It really is good guys.”) Occasionally we would go for a treat after or before the game if we were coming to the stadium.
Thanks, Sarah. Now it looks like this will be an eating-calorific-ice-cream day.
If you find Jefferson interesting, I read a novel a few months ago you might like. It’s called America’s First Daughter, and I thought it was excellent!
I will check into it, Pat. Thanks! And I’m glad to find something our taste buds can agree on. Enjoy your ice cream (or custard)!
Let’s hope – when all else is gone – that your frozen custard outlet is there forever – sort of a Custard’s Last Stand!
My son so wanted me to work that joke into the post, but I couldn’t figure out how. And now you’ve done it!
I’m glad to have obliged – although I feel a bit guilty at telling such a weak joke that doesn’t come up to my usual highly sophiosticated standard!
I’m confused, but I think what you call frozen custard is what I call ice cream. When I make it it has cream and egg yolks and it goes in and out of the freezer and I do my best to stir it when it’s not in the freezer. Frozen custard sounds a bit disturbing, as custard should be eaten hot, on top of a fruit pie, or crumble, or treacle sponge etc.
Treacle is a runny form of sugar in varying degrees of thickness and colour. I use golden syrup. In my recipe for treacle sponge you make the sponge mixture and pour the syrup over it. Most of it sinks to the bottom. Pop it in the oven and cook it. The sponge rises and the syrup becomes a. Turn it out so that the syrup is on top and pour hot custard over it. Yum.
Thank you! That solves a mystery for me. I can’t think of a similar dish to compare it to that I would have eaten, but it sounds very good.
You know, I used to live up near Milwaukee myself. It’s a nice little city. I was actually just surprised to learn that it has so much custard, as I always associated it with St. Louis. I guess Culver’s should have been a clue. I never ate custard from Leons, but I think I will have to try it the next time I’m in the area.

The suspected killer is none other than a taxi driver, Caiphus Nemavhadwa, who lived in the same street as Ndlovu. The investigating officer said Ndlovu’s murder investigation doesn’t form part of a serial killer investigation. An unknown woman’s remains as well as Letta Letsoalo’s body were found naked in Mamelodi. They were apparently strangled. Angry residents brutally assaulted Nemavhadwa and burnt his car and home in the small settlement of Marikana. The matter is now under intense investigation.

If you choose to close a Colorado LLC (limited liability company), this will require you to complete several tasks. Dissolving the company is a key step that you absolutely cannot skip.
At formation, you registered your LLC with Colorado. Dissolution is formal process that officially ends your company's classification as business entity that is state registered. This process also ensures that claimants, including creditors, cannot reach the business.
It is possible for court decrees to dissolve LLCs on involuntary basis. The following information, however, focuses solely on voluntary dissolution that is initiated by member of the LLC.
The first step towards the voluntary dissolution of your Colorado LLC is checking the operating agreement. This nearly always includes a section dedicated to dissolution, which will outline rules of this process. Most of the time, these rules require LLC members to vote in favor of a resolution that will dissolve the company. There is likely a specific requirement of a minimum percentage of LLC members that must vote for the resolution. Ensure you follow the procedural requirements outlined in your dissolution rules. These may include providing members with advance notice of the meeting or setting the meeting and vote for a particular time.
No matter what the operating agreement outlines, the LLC Act in Colorado offer another option for voluntary dissolution of an LLC. This Act lets you voluntarily dissolve the LLC if the member agrees.
Regardless of the approach you take the dissolve the LLC, you must ensure you record all the aspects of decision process for the resolution. This record should be in the dissolution meeting's official minutes or on written consent forms.
Additionally, you must provide the state of ID number of LLC. So, you do not need to craft the statement of dissolution from the scratch, the Secretary of State has a sample on its website. Colorado legally requires you to file the statement online with the designated filling system. Filling bears a 25$ fee.
The online filing is typically processed right away. You should note that following your LLC’s dissolution, others can legally use the business name.
After the dissolution is complete, the LLC still exists, but only to wind up your company. You can designate at least one manager or member of the LLC to handle the winding up process.
Preserving the property or business of LLC as a concern over a reasonable time.
Distributing any remaining property of the LLC among members.
It is also crucial your LLC pays an outstanding taxes. There is no requirement in Colorado for tax clearance prior to dissolution. Simply mark the box labeled “final return” on the IRS form.
Another key task involves providing notice to claimants and creditors. It is optional to give notice of the dissolution of the LLC, but it is wise to do so. Taking this step will reduce your liability. It will also provide additional safety when finalizing member distributions.
Based on Colorado Law, you give notice via a written document that is sent directly to any known claimants following dissolution. To count as proper notice, this written document must indicate that any claim filed against LLC must take place by a stated deadline. If it does not occur by then, the action will get barred. The notice should also state that other limiting actions or statutes may bar these claims sooner. You cannot list the deadline as within two years following the notice delivery.
Alternatively, you can provide unknown claimants with notice via a newspaper ad. Check the specific requirements for using publication as notice as there are particular rules. Typically, claimants will have a timeframe of five years following the publication date in which they can bring the claim.
If you decide to deliver notice to claimants that your LLC has dissolved, we strongly suggest you get assistance. Business attorneys will assist you with this.
You should also note that in cases where your LLC has registration in another state as well, you must file an additional form with that state.
Dissolving as well as winding up an LLC is a single step in the process to close it. You will likely read additional guidance to ensure you complete all steps.

Ways to use stories to stand out from the competition.
Strategies for introducing yourself more meaningfully.
A system for understanding the pain points of your ideal clients.
Storytelling is useful because you shift the focus on the conversation. Stop calling clients or prospects to immediately talk about why you’re qualified or what makes you an expert. They probably already know your credentials. People want to understand how you can solve their problem. Show them that you can provide value.
Lastly, Ryan Rhoten also explains that storytelling can be a great way to introduce your social proof. There is a place for your credentials and testimonials, just not in the beginning of the conversation. Using a great story to convey your understanding of a particular problem makes your credibility and likability skyrocket! Add some storytelling to your system.

When it comes to protecting your brand, organization and personnel, you can think you know, or you can know you know. While testing has always been a hallmark of any quality process, periodic threat assessment is no longer enough to protect your organization and its interests from digital risk.
Traditional monitoring is even less sufficient when it comes to organizational digital footprint, from the operation of your social media accounts to detecting third-party data exposures. When it comes to protecting your digital footprint, whether social or other, continuous monitoring with a focus on velocity of identification and response is not an option; it is an absolute necessity.
Digital risk protection has been gaining widespread acceptance in the security community, and the reasons for this adoption are many. For some organizations, continuous monitoring is implemented in the wake of a data breach, in reaction to the theft of intellectual property or a digital vulnerability that enabled a physical threat. In other cases, the implementation of continuous monitoring is designed to enhance the digital resilience of the organization.
The growing reliance on digital risk protection is another reason why continuous monitoring has become so critical. These days, just about every mission-critical function of the business, marketing, sales and support, is reliant, in whole or in part, on the security and resilience of digital footprint.
The concept behind the continuous monitoring process is not new. Many companies have been doing continuous monitoring of some sort for decades, from evaluating the quality of the finished products at the end of the assembly line process to performing intrusion testing on their networks and conducting audits to spot potential holes in their physical and online defenses.
What is relatively new is the formal nature of those continuous monitoring programs for managing digital risk. What once was an informal approach to digital risk management has now been formalized. Indeed, continuous monitoring is now an integral part of daily operations for many businesses, from well-known manufacturers to software suppliers to retail organizations.
In the modern environment, continuous monitoring has become a dominant part of the risk management framework. In risk management terms, continuous monitoring generally refers to the process whereby each part of a system is categorized and prioritized, based on the underlying level of risk. Digital risk management tools, products and services are designed to integrate into cyber security processes, rapidly detect digital threats and respond to events to minimize organizational disruption and any financial losses. Digital risk management is business-first and is focused on protecting the organization without impeding or disrupting the operation or the mission of the organization.
By identifying the risk level of various organizational operations, risk managers and other decision makers can more effectively prioritize their responses and build up their defenses. Once you spot the weaknesses in the risk management operation, the organizations involved can work on shoring up their defenses, plugging those holes and creating a more secure operation in the future.
By categorizing the various operations by risk level and prioritizing their defenses, organizational leaders and department managers can begin to build in the appropriate controls, whether those controls address problems with the implementation or use of digital channels for operations.
Organizations can also use the continuous monitoring process to monitor the processes they already have in place, gauging the effectiveness of their defenses and looking for ways to improve the security of their digital footprint in the future. No matter how effective their defenses or how low their levels of risk, organizations can always improve on what they are doing, and continuous monitoring helps make that process easier.
Risk managers tend to see continuous monitoring as a way to facilitate continuous intelligence. Instead of being satisfied with the current satisfaction with what they are already doing, security and risk managers can seek out new and innovative developments, ramping up their defenses while building on the tried and true processes they already have in place.
Last but not least, organizations can use the continuous monitoring process to manage the risk level of changes in the threat landscape, reducing the danger change will introduce unmitigated risk to the organization down the line.
At security analyst, for instance, may use the continuous monitoring process to monitor the creation of any new social media accounts tied to the key executives and the brand. If the risk level is low, security analysts can focus policy and compliance of known and authorized accounts. If a sudden change by threat actors brings new threats to the organization as a whole, analysts can focus more on imposter footprint while continuous monitoring through automated processes is doing more of the policy enforcement workflow without loosing what improvements have been accomplished.
While the modern approach to continuous monitoring for digital risk and external threats is still relatively new, the underlying concept has been around for quite some time. This current approach to risk management has been gaining adoption each year, and more and more organizations are recognizing its inherent benefits. From the protection of vital digital processes critical to the organization to the identification threats and vulnerabilities in the supply chain and third-party vendors, the benefits of continuous monitoring are genuine. With all of these advantages, it is no surprise that so many organizations are adopting this innovative approach to continuous monitoring — and improvement — of their current security operations and digital risk management with DigitalStakeout.

The Duke of Cambridge debuts a short new look.
While you were swooning over Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's latest royal appearance together, Prince William debuted a new look in plain sight. The Duke of Cambridge embarked on a solo engagement today at Evelina London Children's Hospital, where he showed off a surprisingly short haircut.
It didn't take for online fans to notice and react on Twitter.
I've been begging him to shave his heads for years. Sounds like he's finally listened.
Though the prince has been experiencing hair loss, he still has a good sense of humour about it. Last fall, he made news for joking about balding while speaking to a barber at a royal event. 'I don't have much hair, I can't give you much business,' William said to him.
Haircut aside, the Duke of Cambridge met with young patients at the hospital today, along with their families and staff to celebrate the success of Step Into Health, a program that helps veterans find employment in the National Health Service. The organisation is also a part of The Royal Foundation, which William, Prince Harry, and Kate Middleton oversee.

I’m a freelance graphic designer and I have worked for this company for a few years. I’ve done their reports, company website, business cards, you name it. Some time ago, they hired someone to handle all their marketing and communication strategies, so I would work only with him in order to streamline everything.
Comms Guy: Hi, could you please send the newsletter files to the printer? I sent the file I had, but there’s something wrong with it. Also, the guys at the printer said they needed to add a few pages.
Me: I’m sorry, but what files? No one told me the newsletter was approved. And what printer? And why would they need to add pages? What content would be on those pages?
Long story short, the comms guy sent an outdated Powerpoint presentation to be printed, by mistake. He didn’t call me beforehand, and didn’t even think it was strange that the printer wanted to add blank pages at the end, because the document they got didn’t have the right number of pages.
I kindly explained to him he was going to print the wrong file, which would surely result in a very poor newsletter, and might come as nasty surprise for his boss.
Comms Guy: Your point being?
Someone doesn’t care much about their professional choices.

FC Halifax Town make the trip to Bower Fold to face Stalybridge Celtic this Saturday, January 7 (3pm). Town are without a win in nine games in all competitions, a run which has included four Vanarama National North fixtures. Over the festive period, the Shaymen lost 3-2 to Darlington at Blackwell Meadows on Boxing Day, before returning to the MBi Shay Stadium on New Year’s Day to claim a point, drawing 2-2 with the Quakers. New striker and former Liverpool man Adam Morgan, signed from Curzon Ashton, scored all four of Halifax’s goals in those games.
Stalybridge sit second-bottom, in 21st in the Vanarama National League North. Only Altrincham are below them, and Celtic’s tally so far of 10 points leaves them 11 points off safety as Gainsborough Trinity sit 19th on 21 points. Stalybridge currently have the worst goal difference in the league, their -37 differential slightly worse than Altrincham’s -35.
They have conceded the most goals in the league (57) and scored the least (20). In their 11 games at their home of Bower Fold, they have lost nine and picked up just four points. They beat Gainsborough 3-2 in early September, and drew 3-3 with Boston United at the start of December for their only home points of the season. Their other two wins came courtesy of visits to Boston and Bradford Park Avenue (both 1-0).
Andy Owens is Stalybridge’s top scorer in the league this season, with five, and former Huddersfield winger Aidan Chippendale has notched four.
Stalybridge’s scheduled game on Monday January 2, against Curzon Ashton, was postponed due to the pitch condition.
Saturday’s meeting will be the third of the season between the two sides; both previous matches took place at the Shay. A Liam King penalty gave the Shaymen three points in a 1-0 September win before Josh Wilde and Danny Hone’s goals saw Town to a 2-1 victory three weeks later in the Emirates FA Cup third qualifying round.
Town will have to manage without a central figure in the backbone of the team once more, as Scott Garner serves the final game of a three match suspension picked up in the FA Cup second round replay defeat to Eastleigh. Loanee and Wembley winner with the Shaymen Sam Johnson is likely to start in goal again in his second spell at the club.
Shaymen Player will also have full match commentary from the game as well as extended match highlights from the game, as well as all the reaction from Billy Heath and the rest of the camp.

NIJ-sponsored research provides evidence that individuals in the process of becoming dangerously radicalized exhibit predictable and detectable behaviors.
There is no uniform profile of a jihadist terrorist, but individuals who become radicalized to terrorism tend to follow a predictable process. And through all phases of this process, individuals generally exhibit changes in behaviors and ideology that signal their descent into radicalization and potential violence.
According to research supported by the National Institute of Justice (NIJ), the process of becoming a jihadist terrorist is a lifestyle choice. It is associated with overt behavioral changes that are often, though not always, noticed by family or friends. This NIJ-supported research promotes a broader understanding of the signs and symptoms of radicalization and may assist law enforcement in developing better assessment protocols for intervention programs.
In this study, researchers examined detailed forensic biographies of 135 American jihadism-inspired homegrown terrorists. Biographies included court documents, online communications posted by terrorist offenders, media profiles, and interviews with family members. All of the subjects were judged to have become radicalized while living in the United States.
One specific finding from the study is that a common precursor to radicalization is new-found religious fervor, followed by seeking out like-minded individuals or creating “pop-up” cells of co-believers by converting family members or friends to the cause. Initial contact may be through the internet, but the importance of real-life peer groups in driving further radicalization was highlighted by the finding that peer immersion nearly always preceded public expressions of a desire for action, either going abroad to fight or doing something in the United States.
Once an individual becomes involved with an extremist peer group or exhibits signs of advancing towards a greater commitment to the cause, radicalization generally speeds up.
Yet, researchers caution that it takes years to become a terrorist. Radicalization generally proceeds over the course of several years, although the pace of the radicalization has accelerated since 2010. Two causes for this are the jihadist recruiters’ use of social media to direct new followers and the Islamic State’s policy of taking in all volunteers.
First, a dynamic risk assessment protocol focused on tracing progressive extremism is feasible and may more reliably anticipate imminent risk of violent behavior than will unstructured protocols that use a list system.
Second, programs to counter radicalization to terrorism should focus on mobilizing families. Families are often a source of early warnings about risky behaviors, but many families misinterpret the signs of growing radicalization or ignore the risk.
Third, local law enforcement should develop outreach programs for Muslim community organizations and mosques. Many terrorism offenders have at some point in their radicalization trajectory come into contact with Muslim community institutions, and an increasing number of offenders have in recent years come to the attention of law enforcement through reports from Muslim community members and family. It is important that law enforcement continue to work with Muslim community organizations to develop trust and knowledge about the behaviors signifying extremism.
Finally, researchers suggested taking a long view on early prevention. This includes mainstreaming countering violent extremism (CVE) programming into middle school and high school. The focus in schools should be on preventing the development of cliques among students endorsing violent extremist belief systems. This means that school staff should understand what radicalization means and be trained to distinguish extremist practices from the expression of legitimate religious attitudes. The emphasis should be on behaviors associated with violent extremism—e.g. denigration of how most Muslims practice their faith and of other religions, and admiration for martyrdom and violence. Merging education and prevention programming on gangs and all types of violent extremist belief systems should be considered. Among other actions, researchers suggested including instruction about Islam. They also suggested education about online predators and internet-use hygiene.
The research described in this article was supported by NIJ grant number 2013-ZA-BX-0005 awarded to Brandeis University.
This article is based on the grant report “A Behavioral Study of the Radicalization Trajectories of American ‘Homegrown’ Al Qaeda-Inspired Terrorist Offenders” (pdf, 62 pages).

With apologies to Andrew Friedman in Tampa Bay or John Mozeliak in St. Louis or Neal Huntington in Pittsburgh or Ruben Amaro Jr. in Philadelphia (just kidding, Phillies fans!), if I win $750 million in the lottery and purchase a major league franchise, Billy Beane is the guy I’d hire to run my franchise.
Although I may try to steal some of the stats guy from Tampa, St. Louis and Pittsburgh.
The Oakland A’s clinched their second straight American League West title with Sunday’s 11-7 win over the Minnesota Twins, further proof that Beane can build a winner minus Barry Zito, Tim Hudson and Mark Mulder. Maybe the ideas behind “Moneyball” have been replicated and expanded — find a market efficiency and exploit it and hire smart analysts to help you find those inefficiences — but Beane has won the past two years in sort of an old-fashioned way: Make good trades and scrounge around the discount sales pile for cheap buys.

Chelsea Clinton, Hillary Clinton’s daughter, is set to support her mom by speaking at the Democratic National Convention (DNC) on Thursday night. But prior to Chelsea Clinton’s DNC speech, the Internet is abuzz with questions about the woman who hasn’t been a major public figure since her dad was in the Oval Office. Just who is Chelsea Clinton, outside of being Bill and Hillary Clinton’s daughter? Well, let us serve as a Chelsea Clinton wiki and inform you about the potential first two-time First Daughter via different parents.
Chelsea Victoria Clinton was born in Little Rock, Arkansas, on February 27, 1980, making her 36 years old. Her name was taken from the song, “Chelsea Morning” by Joni Mitchell, heard during a trip by her parents to the Chelsea neighborhood of London, England in 1979. In 1993, after Chelsea Clinton’s father, Bill Clinton, became President, she moved into the White House. She was raised as a Methodist like her mom (her dad’s a Southern Baptist). It’s noted that her parents always made time for her despite their heavy political schedules, Bill already having been the Governor of Arkansas when she was born; he even had a small desk for her in his office! Cute!
If you think there are a lot of people asking, “Who is Chelsea Clinton?” now, imagine how many there were when Bill Clinton became President! Wanting Chelsea to have a normal childhood–as normal of one a person can have when their dad is President, anyway–the Clintons asked the media to leave their daughter alone, limiting coverage of her to public appearances with her parents; the world didn’t need a Chelsea Clinton wiki just yet. Journalists and media personalities largely agreed, though some felt she was no longer off-limits once she turned 13. Chelsea Clinton’s father and mother also moved her from a public school to a private one, being forced to publicly defend their decision by saying that she would have, “more control over her destiny” at a private school, away from publicity. Chelsea’s choice of a post-secondary institution also received a lot of press coverage.
Chelsea Clinton’s husband is Marc Mezvinsky. He is an investment banker who was raised as a Conservative Jew and possesses a B.A in Religious Studies and Philosophy from Stanford University. Clinton and Mezvinsky met in 1993 as teenagers at a Democrat political retreat in Hilton Head, South Carolina, though their relationship did not begin until 2005. The couple married in 2010 in New York, which is where they reside. As for Chelsea Clinton’s children, the couple has two: Charlotte, born in September 2014, and Aidan, born just last month. The children’s grandmother, Hillary Clinton, is noted for being very doting on her grandkids, often acting as babysitter (maybe not so much lately, what with the campaigning and all), as well as signing and playing with them.
A friendship that may get very awkward following Chelsea Clinton’s DNC speech, Hillary Clinton’s daughter is actually friends with Ivanka Trump, one of the children of her mom’s current rival, Republican candidate Donald Trump. In a recent interview with People Magazine, Trump acknowledged that while, “there’s certainly tremendous intensity around both of [their] lives right now,” she and Clinton are still friends, having met when their parents were on better terms, and not competing for the most powerful job in the world. The campaigns and mudslinging have definitely posed a threat their bond, but they both feel that friendship is more important. They agree tha there’s no reason for there to be bad blood, especially when it was a given that each would be supporting their respective parents in the election.

Benchmark scores in other reviews are only comparable when this exact same configuration is used.
We used the public Steam release version of Devil May Cry 5 (not a press prerelease). We also used the latest drivers from NVIDIA and AMD, which both have added support for Devil May Cry 5.
Using a GeForce RTX 2080 Ti, which has 11 GB of VRAM, we tested the game's memory usage at the highest settings.
VRAM usage can be described as "acceptable" for lower resolutions, with 3 GB at 1080p. Every recent graphics card from this segment should be able to handle memory requirements. For higher resolutions, memory requirements are very modest—all modern graphics cards that can drive these resolutions have 8 GB of VRAM or more.

Islamic quotes on Sacrifice and Eid ul Adha. Eid ul Adha is celebrated on the 10th of Dhul- Hajj, in the remembrance of Hazrat Ibrahim AS sacrifice. He was asked my Allah SWT in a dream to slaughter his own son, Hazrat Isma’il AS.
Ibrahim AS bow down in front of Allah’s command and prepared himself to slaughter his son. Allah SWT helped him and replaced his son with a sheep at the time of slaughtering. Sacrificing animals is the essence of Eid ul Adha. But sacrificing doesn’t only mean to cut the animal and eat the meat, but it basically means to sacrifice what we love in the path of Allah. In abstract sense, it means to let go of your attachments and love for dunya for the sake of Allah SWT. And that is the true meaning of sacrifice in Islam.
