Have you ever heard someone in the investing and business world refer to something as being either "top line" or "bottom line"? What do these terms mean, you might ask? How does the top line differ from the bottom line and why should you, or anyone else, care? Sooner or later, you're going to need to know the answer to these questions, especially if you want to be successful in life. A lot of people have enjoyed affluence only to lose it all because they didn't understand that the top line and the bottom line do not necessarily move in tandem.
In most cases, sustainable success requires mastering both.
If you are familiar with how to analyze an income statement, you may recall that every income statement, or Profit and Loss or P&L as they are sometimes known, is broken down into sections. At the top, you begin with sales or revenue, which generally refers to the money a company generated by providing goods or services to its customers. As you go further down the income statement, different amounts are taken out or, in some cases, added, to reflect different types of expenses or income. You finally arrive at the bottom, where you find a figure known as net income applicable to common shares, which is the profit the stockholders are entitled to enjoy after backing out things like costs, interest expense, taxes, minority stakes, etc.
It is that figure that is used to calculate something known as basic and diluted earnings per share.
When you hear someone refer to the "top line," they are usually referring to sales or net sales (the latter is sales adjusted for certain items). If you owned a Cinnabon franchise, for example, the top line is going to be how much cash you brought in from selling cinnamon rolls and cups of coffee. If you hear someone refer to the "bottom line", they are usually referring to the net income applicable to common shares, which is the net profit after taxes (though some small business owners will use "bottom line" to refer to the pre-tax operating earnings so you'll need to clarify the context).
Gross Profit: Gross profit refers to total revenue minus cost of goods sold.
Operating Profit: Operating profit refers to the total pre-tax earnings of an enterprise from the operating activity in which it is engaged. It is calculated by taking the gross profit and backing out things that fall into a category known as selling, general, and administrative expenses.
Net Profit: This is the bottom-line profit after all expenses, taxes, interest, and other costs have been paid, depreciation estimated, and the books closed.
Furthermore, when a person refers to gross profit, operating profit, or net profit, they may be referring to the actual figure expressed in a given currency (e.g., "The bottom line for the year? We made $1.2 million in profit.") or they may be referring to a relative financial ratio known as a profit margin. Specifically, they may be referring to the gross profit margin, operating profit margin, or net profit margin (each will tell you how the different types of profit compared to overall revenue).
Once you have figured out the top line and bottom line figures, you can go one step further and use them to perform some basic valuations on different companies. The secret formula for valuing a stock's growth breaks out three different valuation multiples that a person can use to try and compare how "expensive" one company is to another, at least on a first-pass basis.
The three metrics included in that article are the p/e ratio, which tells you how expensive a company is relative to its net income, the PEG ratio, which attempts to adjust the p/e ratio for growth in the underlying profits, and the dividend-adjusted PEG ratio, which goes one step further than that and attempts to factor in not only growth, but dividend income (given its role in generating total return).
EBITDA stands for earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization. In essence, it is the amount of money that would have been made if a company did not pay interest charges, taxes, depreciation, and amortization. By now you should be asking yourself, "How can you ignore those costs? They still exist even if you pretend they don't!"
Exactly. It's similar to pretending that the interest you pay on your credit cards, your income taxes, and the depreciation on your car isn't a real expense to you. According to the EBITDA standards, they don't exist. If you can't tell, although you will hear a lot of professionals talking about this number, it is one of the most worthless, deceitful and meaningless figures available. Most investors are best served by paying absolutely no attention to it.
Whether you're an investor, manager, lender, or business owner, there are a few takeaways you need to remember about the top line and bottom line profit figures.
First, it is possible for an enterprise to increase the top line (sales) while decreasing the bottom line (net earnings). Not all sales are profitable. There are companies that have gone broke because their sales increased too rapidly.
Second, it is possible for an enterprise to decrease the top line (sales) while increasing the bottom line (net earnings). Through cost cutting, automation, and structural changes in the business, certain firms have been able to mint money even in declining sectors and industries, making their shareholders rich.
Third, remember that, generally, the ideal situation is one in which the top line and the bottom line are growing in tandem. However, most businesses have something known as operating leverage built into them. This comes into play with something known as the interest coverage ratio. Basically, there is a certain level of fixed expenses in the business — the rent, the payroll for employees, keeping the lights on and the water running — that eat up a lot of profit below a certain top-line figure. Once this is crossed, a huge percentage of the additional sales above that magic line drop straight to the bottom line.
Those incremental sales, in other words, are far more profitable. An intelligent investor can make a lot of money buying into a bad business that is about to turnaround, in effect harnessing the fact that an increase of [x]% in the top line can result in an increase of [10x]% in the bottom line.

We stripped back the layers of the heap like a giant onion, placing them into the new heap with the least composted material going in the centre. The heap had warmed up in the first few days and maintained its heat all week so it was looking and smelling great. Another week or two and they’ll have a huge pile of compost to work with.

Modelling and optimisation of batch distillation involving esterification and hydrolysis reaction systems. Modelling and optimisation of conventional and unconventional batch distillation process: Application to esterification of methanol and ethanol using acetic acid and hydrolysis of methyl lactate system.
© 2010 Edreder, E. A. This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non-Commercial-Share-Alike License (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/2.0/uk).
Batch distillation with chemical reaction when takes place in the same unit is referred to as batch reactive distillation process. The combination reduces the capital and operating costs considerably. Among many different types of batch reactive distillation column configurations, (a) conventional (b) inverted (c) semi-batch columns are considered here. Three reaction schemes such as (a) esterification of methanol (b) esterification of ethanol (c) hydrolysis of methyl lactate are studied here. Four different types of dynamic optimisation problems such as (a) maximum conversion (b) maximum productivity (c) maximum profit and (d) minimum time are formulated in this work. Optimal design and or operation policies are obtained for all the reaction schemes. A detailed rigorous dynamic model consisting of mass, energy balances, chemical reaction and thermodynamic properties is considered for the process. The model was incorporated within the dynamic optimisation problems. Control Vector Parameterisation (CVP) technique was used to convert the dynamic optimisation problem into a nonlinear programming problem which was solved using efficient SQP (Successive Quadratic Programming) method available within the gPROMS (general PROcess Modelling System) software. It is observed that multi-reflux ratio or linear reflux operation always led to better performance in terms of conversion, productivity for all reaction schemes compared to that obtained using single reflux operation. Feed dilution (in the case of ethanol esterification) led to more profit even though productivity was found to be lower. This was due to reduction in feed price because of feed dilution. Semi-batch reactive distillation opertation (for ethanol esterification) led to better conversion compared to conventional batch distillation, however, the total amount of acetic acid (reactant) was greater in semi-batch operation. Optimisation of design and operation (for ethanol esterification) clearly showed that a single cloumn will not lead to profitable operation for all possible product demand profile. Also change in feed and /or product price may lead to adjust the production target to maximise the profitability. In batch distillation, total reflux operation is recommended or observed at the begining of the operation (as is the case for methnaol or ethanol esterification). However, in the case of hydrolysis, total reflux operation was obseved at the end of the operation. This was due to lactic acid (being the heaviest) was withrawn as the final bottom product.
Optimisation of design and operation policies of binary batch distillation with fixed product demand.
Optimal design (vapour load, V and number of stages, N) and operation (reflux ratio, R and batch time, tb) of batch distillation have received significant attention in recent years. In these studies, it has been suggested that V should be set at some upper limit (thought to be optimum) and the optimisation task should be focused on finding the optimum values of N, R and tb, which would minimise the capital investment while maximising an economic objective function usually the profit (P). The major drawback of such optimisation strategy is that there is no constraint on the amount of product (on specification) being produced (NB = no. of batches in a given time) and the overall profit can only be maximised by producing unlimited amount of products. Unplanned and unlimited production of products are not sustainable and may lead to significant losses in the case of large inventory requirements of any excess products produced. In this work, for the first time, the optimal design and operation task for batch distillation is considered with due regards to the market demands (small to large number of batches) of the products being produced. An optimisation problem formulation is presented for the task which is different than those used in the past under unlimited product demand scenario. Simulated Annealing type algorithm is used for the solution of the optimisation problem. With several examples, it will be shown that fixing V a priori (say V < Vopt) will not allow production of NB batches of products with any combination of (N, R, tb) in a given production time. Also it will be shown that with V fixed at say V > Vopt, P will always be <Pmax for any combination of (N, R, tb). The comparisons between the results with and without fixing of V a priori show very clear improvement in the annual profit.
The production of methyl decanoate (MeDC) through esterification of decanoic acid (DeC) with methanol by reactive distillation is operationally challenging and energy-intensive due to the complicated behaviour of the reaction system and the difficulty of retaining the reactants together in the reaction region. Methanol being the lightest component in the mixture can separate itself from the reactant DeC as the distillation proceeds which will cause a massive reduction in the conversion of DeC utilizing either a batch or continuous distillation process. Aiming to overcome this type of the potential problem, novel integrated divided-wall batch reactive distillation configuration (i-DWBD) with recycling from the distillate tank is established in this study and is examined in detail. This study has clearly demonstrated that the integrated divided-wall batch reactive distillation column (i-DWBD) is superior to the traditional conventional batch distillation (CBD) and both the divided-wall (DWBD), and split reflux divided-wall (sr-DWBD) batch reactive distillation configurations in terms of maximum achievable purity of MeDC and higher conversion of DeC into MeDC. In addition, significant batch time and energy savings are possible when the i-DWBD is operated in multi-reflux mode.

Home | Services | Retirement Village Financial Advice | Are there any limitations to buying into a Retirement Village?
Yes, you can only buy into a retirement Village IF you are over 55 years of age. Some villages prevent anyone from living in the village if they are under 55. This might be a limitation for someone who has a disabled son or daughter living with them who is under 55 years of age.
The names of the people on the lease/licence must live in the dwelling. This can potentially be a problem, where someone owns the lease or licence in their name, but their sister or brother moves in with them. If the holder of the lease/licence dies, then the brother or sister might not be able to remain living in the dwelling, unless a new lease or licence is drawn up, which may trigger the existing arrangement ceasing, & the survivor having to pay the new entry contribution (which may or may not be possible).

Prominent members of the wine trade lobbied Parliament yesterday over rising wine duty, in an enquiry advised by Decanter editor Guy Woodward.
Prompted by the Wine and Spirit Trade Association (WSTA), the All-Party Parliamentary Wine and Spirit Group – comprising MPs and peers with an interest in the industry – convened to discuss the impact of perceived inequities in the Treasury’s approach to wine taxation.
A committee of six including Woodward quizzed various sectors of the trade, with the Decanter editor clarifying the issues for the Group.
Of particular concern is the Treasury’s imposition of a 17% increase in wine duty, including a hidden second duty increase in November that erased the much-hyped reduction in VAT. The Treasury also committed itself to a four-year, 2%-above-inflation tax escalator as of this year’s budget in April.
The five witnesses – representatives from retail, import, distribution and production – expressed their angst over what they see as the Treasury’s unfair approach to taxation. They detailed the resulting damage to the trade, which the WSTA claims has driven the industry to a ‘tipping point’.
Tim How, ex-chief executive of high street retailer Majestic, said current market conditions were as tough as he had seen in his 20-year career, and lamented the lack of government support.
Woodward said the witnesses made a compelling case for the Government to rethink its projected tax increase in this year’s budget.
‘The back-door duty increase of November has been compounded not just by the financial downturn but also the weakness of the pound,’ he said.
The All-Party Group will submit a report to the government on 25 March. The WSTA hopes to secure a meeting with the Chancellor ahead of the budget, due 22 April.

After pressure from House Democratic leadership, Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) is apologizing for using what critics call "anti-Semitic tropes" in a tweet she sent out over the weekend criticizing an American organization that supports Israel.
Ungar-Sargon's tweet was a direct response to California Republican House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy's calls to reprimand Omar for her continued displays of antisemitism.
"But Congresswoman Omar's use of anti-Semitic tropes and prejudicial accusations about Israel's supporters is deeply offensive", it added.
Starnes noted the "bipartisan outrage" following Omar's criticism of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), including from former first daughter Chelsea Clinton.
Most alarmingly, Omar's comments on Sunday were neither a surprise nor an unexpected gaffe by the Minnesota congresswoman, but part of Omar's long and calculated opposition to Israel and Jewish people worldwide.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi leads a group of top Democrats calling on Omar to apologize.
King asked Northam whether he owned the distinctive plaid trousers worn by the person in blackface in the photo in his yearbook. Northam may try to appoint a Democrat, while Republicans could mount a legal challenge with the goal of having Sen.
Lebanese-American Congresswoman Donna Shalala also condemned Ms Omar's rhetoric.
Breitbart News reported ZOA President Morton Klein said in a statement Monday: "These tweets below from Rep. Ilhan Omar, along with several comments that she has made over the years are pure, unadulterated anti-Semitism". In Nov. 2012, Omar tweeted about the alleged "evil doings of Israel" saying "Israel has hypnotized the world".
Generally speaking, Americans tend to be pro-Israel thanks to acute and widespread awareness of the Holocaust and of Jewish statelessness as one of the principal reasons the Holocaust occurred (you could contrast this, by the way, with the average Americans very limited awareness of Palestinian history). She suggested her comments were being weaponized by the GOP: "We must call out smears from the GOP and their allies". That's the goal of the BDS - boycott, divest and sanction - movement that Omar and her fellow Democratic Rep. Rashida Tlaib of MI support.
"No, criticism of Israel isn't anti-semitism, just like criticism of a Muslim majority state isn't Islamophobia, by default".
Fox 9 has reached out to Omar's office for comment.
Omar's tweets drew a rebuke from Democratic House leaders, who called on her to apologize on Monday.
Omar, 36, acknowledged the criticism in her Twitter message on Monday. "In the Democratic Party-and in the United States of America-we celebrate the diversity of our people, and the Gods we pray to, as a strength".

It's no secret that the public cloud market has been growing like gangbusters. In fact, a recent Gartner study found spending on public cloud services is growing at more than 28% per year and private cloud spending is three times that of public cloud. That projects total cloud spending in 2016 to hit $240 billion. Cloud computing (both public and private) will pave the way forward for how companies will deploy new IT services. Lower price points will help those organizations innovate faster, launch new services more quickly, be more responsive to market conditions and evolve their own business models.
Cloud Computing: Challenge for Financial Firms?
Cloud computing is not as disruptive as many organizations feared. Using a cloud provider has come as naturally to most organizations as using webmail. But for the financial sector, international laws make life—shall we say—challenging. Here’s why. Behind the scenes, there are heavyweight struggles taking place that center around the “sovereignty” of data. If data are stored across international borders, how can your customers be sure that their sensitive personal information is safe? More importantly—at least from the lawyers’ perspective—who can be sued if it isn’t safe?
Who can fail to have noticed the emergence of cloud as the current technology buzzword? Recent commentary has explained how the cloud can transform business and yet sceptics have been falling over themselves to highlight the barriers to its realisation. However, cloud computing entails many of the same considerations and controls as outsourcing to an offshore vendor and, as such, the issues can be addressed and the advantages of cloud computing realised.
What it means to be a cloud pioneer?
The true pioneers of cloud computing are those who both defined and promoted the concept before it became popular to do so. Back in 1999, cloud computing was considered so much Internet-driven voodoo. Indeed, many of those who argued with me at the time about the viability of the concept are now selling and promoting cloud computing technology. (I won't name names!) I guess the pioneers get the arrows, while settlers get the farm.
Focus on what it is you are trying to accomplish in business terms, and let that be your guide. Technology only matters in business if it delivers a measurable benefit, and technology isn't necessarily beneficial just because it's new and popular. You have to determine what it will do for your particular business need. You should hold any IT consultants you work with to that standard as well. They should be able to articulate to you, in clearly understandable terms, what tangible benefit they will deliver. If they recommend a technical solution to you, cloud or otherwise, they should be able to provide the same kind of measurable and predictable benefits. Never buy into a technology just because everyone is talking about it.
Excellent Information has been shared in your blog..

As I parked up ,I saw Kelvin Elliot ,and walked with him to the registration point. It was pretty cold and raining but not too heavily.
It was an historical event because this was the last race to be staged at this venue. The site being sold for redevelopment.
As it wasn’t a road race , headphones were allowed. At 4k I decided to take off one of my three layers, and see if I could get the music on my iPhone to work; It did, and it helped me relax for the rest of the race.

Starwood Preferred Guest recently opened Georgia’s first Aloft hotel, in Atlanta. They are offering a Grand Opening special of 1000 bonus Starwood points and free parking for all stays through July 31, 2014.
Here’s a booking link. Use promotional code LAPKG when booking.
Trying a sample date of Saturday July 19, the price came up as $159. The best available rate at this hotel for the same date is also $159, but without the extras.
I also found a 35% off sale for SPG members that included continental breakfast. The price was also $159. Since continental breakfast is $10 and self parking is $20, the Grand Opening offer is the better deal.
There are pre-paid options available for $134 on Starwood’s website and others. As I value Starpoints at around 2.5 cents per point, when you add the savings of parking plus the Starpoints, you come out ahead with the Grand Opening offer plus there is no penalty for cancellations until the day prior.
Rate includes 1000 bonus SPG points per stay and parking for 1 car.
Offer is only available when booked through this rate plan.

I had the best day – I have never seen so much innovation and cool stuff in one place – ever.
This was a pretty amazing opportunity for all of us. I met Rick Alexanderson – a teacher in our school board – today at the Ottawa Maker Faire – a truly wonderful event that is on again tomorrow (Sunday). I sat on a panel with him and the more I heard from him the more I stopped talking – this is a guy you really need to listen to. This is a guy who has been around and has seen lots of stuff. When you meet people like that, it is best to keep quiet and just listen – you might learn a few things.
He is affiliated with Carleton University and they are willing to hold an instruction session for teachers and students who are interested in developing a maker culture at your school. Rick has found his own partners, he is not waiting for others to catch up – he is making change and offering this to us.
From what I understand, you can register for workshops they he puts on with the university. After your day, you and your students return to the school and teach them what you just have learned. Everyone ends up with a robot – how cool is that!
Rick Alexanderson is the future of education – and educational entrepreneur who is offering the rest of us a chance to learn some amazing stuff.
I could have listened to him all day!
Our informal networks and PLNs are truly our life blood. There will never again be a good reason to wait for change to come to you – you need to go to the change!
Find a way to start a makerspace. Get your teachers and students creating – this is what true education has always been about!
do you want to make this in your class?
So, what exactly is that? I’m assuming a robot of some sorts so I’m very curious what it does! Are there’s my projects possible for Kindergarten students? Perhaps something for a team of mixed grades?
Hi Andrea. There is a group called Maker Junior that will do workshops for your kids. I met them on Saturday.

Virginia Housing Development Authority: Alexandria’s Housing Master Plan is up for Review!
Alexandria’s Housing Master Plan is up for Review!
The City of Alexandria embarked on an ambitious planning endeavor over two years ago to create a new Housing Master Plan for the city. Alexandria has been subjected to increasing real estate costs and substantial regional development pressures over the past decade. As a result of this, there has been a dramatic reduction in existing market affordable housing in the city, plus reduced opportunities for new affordable housing development. In response to this situation, the Master Plan is intended to guide future development and preservation of affordable housing, community diversity, and economic sustainability over the next 20 years. A draft plan has now been developed and is undergoing community review.
The process for developing the plan was created to ensure maximum participation by citizens, stakeholders and various city organizations. Working with a professional planning team, the process entailed over 15 public meetings, tours of neighborhoods and affordable housing example developments, plus hands on planning exercises that helped all involved understand housing needs and potential locations. The city also created a Master Plan Advisory Group that included the city’s existing housing advisory group plus other appointees from the private, public and non- profit sectors. Two prominent local groups also included were the Alexandria Redevelopment and Housing Authority and the Alexandria Housing Development Corporation, each of which have recent affordable housing developments that involved VHDA financing.
The draft plan incorporates a proposed set of “Guiding Principles” that are intended to create a comprehensive vision for the Master Plan and its implementation. These principles include housing options for all incomes; expanding choices for all ages and abilities; implementation through collaborative partnerships; prioritizing future location of affordable housing opportunities, especially in transit oriented, amenity rich areas of the city; optimizing mixed-income development; and recognizing that affordable housing is important to Alexandria’s economic sustainability.
Community meetings were recently held, and online comments are also welcome. Learn more about Alexandria’s draft Housing Master Plan. What do you think about it?

MOSCOW, RUSSIA – Swanke Hayden Connell Architects (SHCA) has been awarded the contract to design four buildings within the Park City development in downtown Moscow.
These buildings will occupy the historic center within the mixed-use master-plan for the 36-acre (14.6-hectare) site. Two of SHCA’s buildings involve adaptive re-use of existing late 19th century brewery buildings, and two will be new ground-up construction. They will accommodate hotel, residential, retail, and entertainment uses.
The projects represent the third major assignment for SHCA in Russia. The firm is currently designing Project Slava, a five million square foot (465,000 square meters) mixed-use complex in downtown Moscow as well as the 70-story Moscow International Business Center mixed-use tower that is part of a new Moscow City development.
The Park City master plan is on a site off of Kutuzovsky Prospekt, the main avenue named for the general who defeated Napoleon in 1812, stretching west from the center of Moscow. It is adjacent to the Hotel Ukraine, which is one of the “Seven Sisters” – seven skyscrapers built under the Stalin regime. The site enjoys an extraordinary length of waterfront along the Moscow River.
The buildings that SHCA is designing front onto a broad pedestrian promenade which connects a central public square at the heart of the master-plan with the riverfront. Two of the buildings involve the adaptive re-use of the late-1800s Badaevsky Beer Brewery buildings. One of the these will be adapted into an entertainment, spa, and retail center. The other building will be a boutique hotel. Between theses two buildings will be a new high-end mid-rise residential tower, and adjacent to the river will be a two story restaurant and retail pavilion. With its dynamic design, this pavilion will become one of the signature structures of the whole master-plan development.
Because the two existing buildings functioned as a brewery in the 19th century, they are idiosyncratic structures constructed of heavy masonry with many load-bearing walls. They include unique spaces, such as vast vaulted rooms and silo-like structures, which present opportunities for the design of unique spaces for public functions and hotel rooms.
Construction on the SHCA projects at Park City is expected to begin in 2008.
SHCA’s Project Slava entails six separate A+ class office buildings varying in height from nine to 22 stories, with a common retail podium on the first, second, and third floors, spanning over existing and planned new streets. The tallest of the six office buildings is designed as the signature piece of the complex, intended to become a new symbol in the Moscow skyline. The project will start construction presently.
SHCA’s 70 story office tower in Moscow City includes over 2.2 million square feet (207,000 square meters) of space on a 150,000 square foot (14,000 square meter) site. The building will have 50 floors of commercial office space based on Class “A” U.S. occupancy standards. Above the office space will be a sky lobby with amenities to be shared by the offices as well as 19 floors of residential apartments. The tower will sit on two floors of retail space, cafes, restaurants and a casino that will relate to the nearby retail complex. Currently under construction, the project is scheduled for completion in 2010.
Swanke Hayden Connell Architects is the continuation of an architectural practice founded in 1906. Staffed with more than 300 professionals located in eight offices worldwide, the firm provides services in five core areas of practice: architecture, interior design, master planning, strategic facilities planning, and historic preservation, working with a variety of corporate and institutional clients.

Just in time for October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, The American Cancer Society has released new guidelines for breast cancer screening.
The big change? Mammograms should begin five years later than previously recommended. Now, the yearly exams should begin at 45 and then go to every other year starting at age 55. Part of the reasoning is to avoid false positives which have lead more ultimately unnecessary additional testing.
The guidelines were published October 20, 2015 in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
According to the American Cancer Society’s Chief Cancer Control Officer, Dr. Richard C. Wender, MD, new research has helped doctors understand the best ways to use mammograms for screening.
• Women with an average risk of breast cancer – most women – should begin yearly mammograms at age 45.
• Women should be able to start the screening as early as age 40, if they want to. It’s a good idea to start talking to your health care provider at age 40 about when you should begin screening.
• At age 55, women should have mammograms every other year – though women who want to keep having yearly mammograms should be able to do so.
• Regular mammograms should continue for as long as a woman is in good health.
• Breast exams, either from a medical provider or self-exams, are no longer recommended.
The guidelines are for women at average risk for breast cancer. Women at high risk – because of family history, a breast condition, or another reason – need to begin screening earlier and/or more often. Talk to your medical provider to be sure.
The goal of screening mammograms is to find breast cancer early, when treatment is more likely to be successful. But mammograms aren’t perfect, and they do have risks. Sometimes mammograms find something suspicious that turns out to be harmless, but must be checked out through more tests that also carry risks including pain, anxiety, and other side effects. Experts weigh these benefits and risks when making recommendations about who should be screened.
But once a woman turns 55, said Elizabeth T.H. Fontham, MPH, DrPH, member of the Guideline Development Group, screening every other year preserves most of the benefit of screening every year–with fewer risks.
Breast exams are no longer a part of the screening recommendations because research does not show they provide a clear benefit. Still, the American Cancer Society says all women should be familiar with how their breasts normally look and feel and report any changes to their health care provider right away.
The best way to know when to begin screening for mammograms and how often to get screenings is to talk to your medical provider.
• Begin talking to your medical provider about breast cancer screening by age 40.
• Share your family history and personal medical history to determine whether you are at average risk or higher risk for breast cancer.
• Understand the benefits, risks, and limitations of breast cancer screening. Mammograms will find most, but not all breast cancers.
Learn more about breast cancer screening by calling the American Cancer Society anytime day or night at 1-800-227-2345 or by visiting The American Cancer Society.

Kimathi's face lit up as Wangui arrived carrying a steaming pot of hard-boiled tea.
A police officer suggested that Dedan Kimathi be served some milk, but the prisoner declined. He said would only drink tea and was specific about the cook: Priscilla Wangui.
Wangui and her husband Edward Ndirangu had been friends with the Mau Mau leader through all kinds of weather.
When writing his classic book Kaburi Bila Msalaba (grave without a cross) in the 1960s, author Peter Kareithi travelled to the home of Priscilla Wangui in Kahigaini, a village in Tetu, Nyeri County.
Kareithi had sought out Wangui, a retired nurse, for an item that had years before made quiet entry into history and which later on would come to simply be referred to as "the Kimathi tea kettle".
How much the kettle may have influenced the widely popular Kaburi Bila Msalaba — the first Kiswahili book about the Mau Mau insurgency and struggle for independence — is not apparent, but Kareithi, a historian and scholar, had a good reason to want to see the pot and touch it and later pack it in his bag.
Like the book’s compelling narrative — betrayal, loyalty, loss and measured victory — the story of the kettle and its owner, makes for an equally rich plot.
On October 21, 1956 Dedan Kimathi, the Mau Mau movement leader, lay under heavy guard at the Home Guard Post in Kahigaini.
Earlier that day, Kimathi, lonely and days on the lam had been shot in the leg by an officer in the Native Police Force and carted on a makeshift stretcher awaiting transfer to Nyeri town.
A police officer suggested that Kimathi be served some milk, but the prisoner declined, saying he would only drink tea and was specific about the cook: Priscilla Wangui.
He also asked that she bring along some Aspirin. Several minutes later Wangui, who ran a seven-bed maternity clinic in the area, arrived carrying a steaming pot of hard-boiled tea and the painkillers. Kimathi’s face perked up when he saw Wangui and according to witnesses, asked that his cup be refilled.
For many who knew Kimathi, a secretive and greatly distrustful man, it was no surprise that he would seek out Wangui at the time of his need.
And now as Kimathi sipped from the cup, Wangui sitting by patiently, the pair hardly speaking to each other yet communicating, the years fell away, down into a warren of events that had led to this very moment: days of their youth before the guns sounded; years of risk and bravery, and finally what everyone knew was the bookend.
It couldn’t have been scripted better.
Kimathi had first met Wangui in early 1940 at the Church of Scotland Mission Hospital at Tumutumu, Nyeri. Wangui was a trainee nurse and he a student at Mambere (an accelerated-age/senior level education system) in the area.
Around that time, Ndirangu, Kimathi's friend, who had also briefly been his teacher, was admitted at the hospital.
While recuperating at Tumutumu, Ndirangu had fallen irretrievably in love with the kindly nurse Wangui, listening out for the reassuring hum of the nurse’s tram as she wheeled dinner into the wards.
Soon Kimathi assumed the role of matchmaker, nudging Ndirangu on, telling him the nurse was the girl to marry. As it happened, Wangui also realised she was falling for the quiet young man.
After college, Wangui was posted to Subukia as resident nurse on a settler farm. Ndirangu, lovesick, would travel occasionally to visit, putting up at the spare quarters of Kimathi who incidentally had also found work in Subukia as a milk clerk.
The workers on the farm were paid in cash and every payday, Kimathi and the other workers would deposit some of their money in the nurse’s safekeeping.
“My mother was the banker, the unofficial banker. Kimathi and the other workers trusted her completely,” says Othniel Kinja, Ndirangu and Wangui’s son.
Over the ensuing years the friends kept in touch, albeit sporadically. Wangui and Ndirangu settled in marriage in their home village of Kahigaini while Kimathi took up teaching, before history came calling, thrusting him into the front line of the freedom movement.
Wangui, though herself a devout Christian who hadn’t taken the Mau Mau oath of allegiance and solidarity, sought a way to help the movement.
By then, Wangui, a pioneering young woman way ahead of her times operated a seven-bed maternity clinic in the village and every other day would hop onto her bicycle — one she had acquired in 1945 and ride to Tumutumu, about 21km outside Nyeri town to collect supplies for her health centre.
She would spirit some of the provisions: dressings and prized Aspirin and other medicines to Kimathi and his weary band of soldiers through an intermediary.
“She did it so discreetly that even my father wasn’t aware of what was going on,” says Kinja, 67, of his mother who died in 2014 at 93.
And now on that fateful October day in ’56, as Wangui refilled Kimathi’s cup, the tea pot eased its way into history.
“The import of the tea was hardly what it must have seemed,” says Muriithi Kariuki, a former teacher and author of Karunaini Revisited — a magazine-length, semi-biographical piece on Kimathi and the events surrounding his capture and the book Agikuyu.
And it was also about a quiet, unspoken farewell between friends. Long after Kimathi was hanged by the British, the kettle continued pouring tea into unsuspecting cups, no one outside the Ndirangu and Wangui household knowing the history it carried.
Later, a film crew documenting the freedom struggle would commit the pot to history, but that was about all until author Kareithi came calling.
In recent times as the Kimathi legend and the freedom movement has continued to draw attention and reinterpretation in popular culture, there has been increased interest in the Kimathi kettle, mostly from history lovers.
“We (family) didn’t think a lot about the kettle; it was part of the family cutlery and that’s it,” says Kinja.
From his last search, Kinja says he tracked the whereabouts of the missing pot to Kareithi’s house in Jamhuri estate in Nairobi, but by the time he sought them out, the Kareithi family had since moved.
According to Kinja, answering to Kimathi’s request was nothing his mother would think twice about; she was simply doing what she always wanted to do — serve others. “She was his banker, remember,” Kinja says with a laugh.

Frightened Chihuahuas, the TV Movie - Culture Blog!
Didn’t you just know? Doesn’t it just make your stomach get all gnarled and gurgly like you just ate a giant bag of stale popcorn and then chugged a huge litre of rancid Dr. Pepper and then ate a big pile of Spaghetti-Os?
Because now apparently Judith Regan, Queen of all Sleaze Media and purveyor of such fine works of outstanding disposable unreadable non-literature as those by Amber Frey (former mistress of convicted murderer Scott Petersen) and Jose Canseco, Janice Dickinson and “The Gotti Diet,” has apparently signed Jennifer Wilbanks, the lost and phenomenally annoying “Runaway Bride” from Georgia, to a $500,000 life-story/TV-movie-of-the-week media deal. Isn’t that sweet? Aren’t we all just stupefied and amazed at the moronic machinations of popular culture that make such a deal possible? Of course we are….
You would not believe the letters I’m getting from men in prison!
After all, who doesn’t want to hear all about a mentally challenged and preternaturally bewildered woman from Georgia who lied about her own kidnapping and gave extremely detailed descriptions of her nonexistent Mexican captors and their supposed abuse of her, when in fact she was lying about all of it and was, instead, merely wandering aimlessly around Albuquerque after being too scared to wander aimlessly around Las Vegas, lost and penniless and completely ignorant of her impressive aptitude for irritating the entire nation? Thanks, Judith Regan, for fluffing this story for another year!
Suggested actresses to play the Wilbanks in the TV movie: Former MTV Veejay Martha Quinn. Sally Struthers. A frightened Chihuahua.

Kisi Controller Pro 1.1 is capable of connecting to a network via a wired ethernet connection. It supports 10Mbps and 100Mbps operation.
Kisi Controller Pro 1.1 can operate on both 2.4GHz and 5GHz frequencies.
The wifi chip will attempt to connect via TCP port 31314. If this fails, they will attempt to use TCP port 993, which is typically open by default for email traffic. Our wifi chip does not use UDP. Port 80 is used to request and transfer wifi chip updates. This port is typically open by default for HTTP/HTTPS. The wifi chip we use is able to connect across multiple levels of firewall and NAT (Network Address Translation), so NAT firewalls work fine with Kisi. Be sure to have your IT administrator unblock the necessary ports before connecting your Kisi Controller Pro 1.1.
Kisi Controller Pro 1.1 does not currently support enterprise-level wifi authentication, 802.1x, which requires that you log in with a username and password as well as the customary SSID. You will not be able to connect your Kisi to such a network unless this is downgraded to a 802.11n wifi operating in the 5GHz band. It is also compatible with 802.11a, 802.11b, and 802.11g networks as well.
The wifi chip does not support networks which require a user to enter login details before network access is granted. This is most commonly encountered with public hotspots and some guest networks in office environments (rarely for home-based wifi networks).
Kisi Controller Pro 1.1 does not require an open network for it to work. It can operate on WPA, WPA2, and Open networks.
We always recommend setting up your Kisi to work with two networking options of connecting to the Kisi Cloud: ethernet and wifi. So, we recommend that your Kisi Controller Pro 1.1 is installed next to your wifi router. In the unlikely case that your Ethernet goes down, wifi can act as a backup.
If the Kisi Controller Pro 1.1 is installed in an area with no wifi connection, you should set up a dedicated 4G hotspot. This works for places where the wifi signal is out of reach, such as your lobby door when your office is located on the 10th floor of the building.

Follow live updates of the 2nd T20I between West Indies and England on our live blog, with the fixture being hosted at the Warner Park in Basseterre, St Kitts.
Preview: West Indies will hope to bounce back to form on Friday when they take on England in the second T20I at the Warner Park in Basseterre, St Kitts.
Having beaten the Englishmen in the Test series by a 2-1 margin, before levelling the one-day series 2-2, the Windies will hope to keep their chances in the T20I leg of England's tour alive with a victory on Friday.
Earlier, England got off to a winning start in the T20I series opener with a four-wicket victory on Tuesday. Jonny Bairstow and Adil Rashid starred in the game as England chased down the 161-run target set by the home side.
England excused four of their first-choice side after the drawn ODI series — Jos Buttler, Jason Roy, Ben Stokes and Moeen Ali — but Bairstow plugged a big gap in the batting lineup with a career-best 68 from 40 balls, playing a key role in the victory as a result.
Opening for the first time in 28 matches he broke the back of a 161-run target, which owed much to Rashid's miserly return of 1-15. Tom Curran walked away with four wickets as the West Indies posted 160-8 but it was Rashid's precise stint which did most to stall the home side.

The Fund invests in a variety of entrepreneurial private equity ventures by canvassing and screening a large array of investment opportunities across multiple industries and selecting those that maximize tradeoffs between perceived risk and return. It is unusual for students to have an opportunity to work with a fund which focuses on non-public companies at any university, much less at a small liberal arts college.
One primary goal of the Fund is to involve students in the Fund's activities, providing them with a rich, hands-on learning experience that exposes them to the world of private equity and the critical role it plays in capital, wealth, and job creation. Students apply what they have learned in their entrepreneurial and other coursework by researching, evaluating, forecasting, and performing due diligence on various investment opportunities, as well as monitoring the progression of companies through the various stages of growth and maturity, including liquidity. Students participate in the legal, tax, valuation, and regulatory challenges faced by these companies as well as the evaluation of the entrepreneurial/management team, marketing plan/market potential, intellectual property/competition, and the business plan. Our students have participated in the hosting of various companies' management teams and Angel Investors on campus to observe and participate in the capital raising process.
The Fund is primarily focused on, but not limited to, entrepreneurial start-up firms, including seed stage, early stage, and expansion/mezzanine stage investments. While not limited geographically, the Fund primarily considers and evaluates Mississippi-based opportunities. The Fund currently holds investments in various sectors, including computer networking technology, medical devices/pharma, renewable energy technology, hospitality services, and craft beer. Two companies are headquartered in Mississippi and some others have significant connections to Mississippi.

There must be a reason. And I joke that He chose a woman to make sure that the news of His resurrection would spread to the ends of the earth.
Face it, we women are generally more detailed when it comes to telling a story. And boy, can we retell them really fast! But it's not how detailed or how fast we can spread the news that matters but what kind of stories they are. Are they gossip that can destroy other's reputation? Or hearsay that will cause strife? Or chitchat that is negative and doesn't upbuild? Or is it good news that encourages, heals and gives strength to others?
Seek Him and you will find Him.
Lord, help me to always remember that You are right within me, even if I don't feel it.

Daniel Roldan lists his inspirations and the mentors that inspired him to become a hair artist in New York City and around the world.
I live in NYC—one of the most inspirational cities in the world—but here are some of my other inspirations and what led me to becoming a hair artist.
1. I’m a Matrix Global Artistic Director, so I travel around the world and see a lot of different types of texture. The last thing I saw that caught my eye was in St. Petersburg, Russia, where girls were making dreadlocks out of synthetic hair in multiple colors. Then, they braided that piece into their hair and anchored it. They were all dolled up, wearing couture clothing and making dreadlocks look glamorous and groomed. When you think of dreads, you think of hippies—but it’s almost taking a different turn in Russia. Those are the kinds of inspiration you see and take when you’re traveling.
2. Vidal Sassoon is one of my top inspirations; that’s where you get that very crisp bob line. Vidal Sassoon is one of those iconic hairdressers who really put design lines and haircutting on the map. He changed the whole world of cutting.
3. Even before learning the Vidal Sassoon cuts, I was inspired by this young kid, Edwin Fontanez, from Ohio that had a salon in his basement. It really all started there. To this day, he’s brilliant in the way he styles and dresses the hair.
4. TONI&GUY is one of my inspirations. I worked for this Italian guy, Dino Palmieri, and he loved TONI&GUY, so that was kind of my first introduction to a hair industry brand.
5. From there, I was introduced to Matrix and mentored by a lady named Vivienne Mackinder—she comes from the Sassoon era. She also worked with Trevor Sorbie.
6. It wasn’t until I moved to New York that everything became editorial. Just working in NYC and going to fashion shows and shoots really inspire me.
I’ve been lucky to experience the salon and hair show side of it, working with Sassoon hair people. I’ve also been able to experience the editorial side of it, going to New York City and seeing the world of fashion and beauty. I think the blend of both worked hand in hand and led me to where I’m at now.

Lithium Technologies has made its social analytics tool (LSW Analytics) generally available as part of its social media management tool. The addition will enable organizations to track a variety of metrics in real time across social media.
LSW Analytics features include a balance agent workload that helps social media managers identify activity spikes, and an address priority tool that shows administrators if and when high priority issues are addressed.
With LSW Analytics, Lithium is hoping to help businesses gather data on how fast customer service, sales and marketing are responding to customer inquiries. Organizations will be able to follow trending topics to determine if new strategies and products are receiving mentions.
Earlier this year, Lithium acquired social influence company Klout. At the time Lithium said the acquisition would create one of the biggest datasets of consumer attitudes, preferences, and activities on digital channels. It also said the added capabilities that Klout brings to the company will help Lithium to deliver more services built around advocacy, loyalty, and enhanced profiles.
Lithium software has more than 300 clients, including Best Buy, Sephora and Skype.

2005-12-17 04:00:00 PDT Washington -- Responding to criticism that he has failed to consult with Congress on Iraq, President Bush has undertaken a series of meetings with lawmakers intended at shoring up support for his policies with an increasingly restive constituency.
Bush hosted a bipartisan group of senators at the White House on Friday morning that included both Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., who had challenged the administration on the issue of torture policy, and Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y., who has been highly critical of the president's management of the war.
The meeting marked the fourth time since Dec. 8 that Bush and his top advisers have met with lawmakers on Iraq, according to a White House official. The sessions are part of a White House public relations offensive that has included four speeches by the president in two weeks and a series of television interviews aimed at rallying public opinion around Thursday's Iraqi election and beyond. Bush will deliver another address Sunday night from the Oval Office.
"The reason he's doing it is because public support had dropped tremendously and because Congress ... has jumped in with both feet on the war on terror," said Sen. Lindsay Graham, R-S.C. "I think it is a long overdue, smart approach to what has been questioning by the Congress and the American people, and I think it paid dividends."
The decision to begin the White House meetings came after outspoken criticism, led by Rep. John Murtha, D-Pa., that Bush had sealed himself off from advice and criticism by members of Congress. Murtha, who has recommended a rapid redeployment of all U.S. forces out of Iraq, compared Bush unfavorably to his father, who Murtha said frequently invited lawmakers to share their views in the months before the Persian Gulf War.
At a meeting Wednesday that included 18 House Democrats, most of them centrist and pro-military, Rep. Jane Harman, D-Rancho Palos Verdes (Los Angeles County), the senior Democrat on the House intelligence panel, turned to Bush and said, "You ought to call up and thank Murtha." The implicit message was that Murtha had given the White House a wake-up call on Iraq.
Since Murtha's attack on the president and his policy, White House officials have undertaken an offensive that they believe has begun to affect public opinion and give Bush some momentum heading into the new year.
The White House meetings have included presentations by Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and from Iraq by video by Army Gen. George Casey, commander of U.S. forces in Iraq, and Zalmay Khalilzad, the U.S. ambassador to Iraq.
As he reaches out to Congress and the American public, Bush is making a point of touching base with his counterparts in the Middle East as well. He called the leaders of Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates on Friday to encourage them to help Iraq as it tries to form a new government.
In an interview Friday with Jim Lehrer of PBS, Bush offered a somber picture of an insurgency that eventually loses steam rather than ends entirely. "If we have a policy of zero violence, it won't be met," he said, "but the policy of getting the Iraqis in the fight and marginalizing those who are trying to stir up trouble will be effective."
Sen. John Thune, R-S.D., said he sensed at Friday's meeting that administration officials were eager to tamp down expectations. "They want people to be very realistic about the assessment of what the election means," Thune said.
Sen. Joe Biden, D-Del., said Bush's willingness to acknowledge problems was wise, but argued that the public still hungered for a clear strategy for success. "To get them on board, they (officials) have to say how the policy is changing," he said.
While the White House was reaching out to lawmakers, House GOP leaders initiated another effort to force Democrats to support Bush by scheduling a vote on a resolution congratulating Iraqis for Thursday's election while noting that artificial timetables for withdrawal or the terms of Murtha's exit strategy were "fundamentally inconsistent with achieving victory in Iraq." The resolution was approved 279-109 and split the Democratic caucus, with 59 Democrats joining 220 Republicans on the winning side.
President Bush will speak to the nation at 6 p.m. PST Sunday to talk about this week's election in Iraq.

As an FYI for anyone interested in ordering by held back by the "Chapionships" typo - I received mine yesterday and they did fix the typo!
It is a bit small though - its about the size of 4 nendo bases, and while it definitely fits Yuuri, Victor, and Yurio I think it looks better with just 1-2 on there. I think I saw someone recommend buying two and connecting them, and that may be a good idea if you want to display all of them.

Greg Chappell claims the biggest regret of his three-year stint as coach was the fallout with Tendulkar with whom he simply failed to "communicate" properly.
MELBOURNE: India's controversial former cricket coach Greg Chappell claims the biggest regret of his tumultuous three-year stint there was the fallout with senior batsman Sachin Tendulkar with whom he simply failed to "communicate" properly.
"When I did communicate with them, I was sometimes too abrupt. Once in South Africa, I called in Sachin and Sehwag to ask more of them, I could tell by the look on their faces that they were affronted," he recalled.
"Later (Rahul) Dravid, who was in the room, said 'Greg, they've never been spoken to like that before'," he wrote.
In one of the chapter titled 'A New Hope', Chappell revealed that during his tenure he got to understand the kind of pressure Indian cricketers lived with, especially Tendulkar.
"A glimpse of them was a life-changing event...We were playing an unrelenting amount of cricket to satisfy the demand, at least 50 per cent more than Australia were playing and the pressure was beyond belief," he wrote.
Chappell wrote that once he asked Tendulkar that it would be hard to find time to keep in touch with his friends due to India's tight schedule, to which Tendulkar replied 'Greg, you would have more friends in India than I've got.
"This is how it is to be Sachin Tendulkar," Chappell wrote.
Recalling his conversation with Tendulkar during his early time with the team, Chappell said, "He was frustrated with his form and wracked with self doubt."
"For him, the challenge was to think like he had when he was a young player. Over my time, in the first 12 months, we had three or four such discussions," he wrote.
Chappell also mentioned that after he was attacked at the Cuttack airport in 2007, he decided that whatever happened in the World Cup, he was not going to stay in the job.
"Apparently a leading newspaper carried a story the day after the incident titled 'Five better reasons to whack" Chappell. "I just wasn't interested in signing on for a longer period if I was going to be the target of every malcontent in the country," he wrote.

Why am I so confused? Why is everything going straight to hell? Have I done something wrong?Have I messed up? I am losing everyone that I love and care about… And I am losing myself...I am falling....Black is all around me... I always wanted to fly... but never to fall...now my wings are broken, and my halo has fallen off.I am no longer an angel of light,A set of demon horns replace my halo. And on my back,not light, fluffy wings but black,tattered,painful things.Chained to the ground with little room to move around,on my knees I look up and see the things that own my soul dancing around me,a torturous smile on their faces,Their evil eyes boring into what's left of my soul. All my regretful memories playing on rewind,life throwing me to the wind years and years ago,all of these memories torturing me,making me think I am worthless,forgotten,and a nobody.
He is my master and I am his slave. I am trapped in his world nowhere to go. He gives me a job, I have no choice but to accept it. He tosses a shadow that falls at my knees and tells me to rise without regret as my chains break and I stand straight up.Without hesitation he tells me to place the shadow around my shoulders and never show my face to anyone.He tells me the shadow is my cloak,my invisibility,my shame,and my regret.He said it will hide me until my job is done.
Before I leave the pit his hands appear to me,Holding within them a shine from two spears of death. He handed me the daggers and as I unsheathed one its mesmerizing beauty overtook my soul. Although I am curious and scared I had to ask "why?". He explains that this is my destiny. I had no choice and neither did he. It was always meant to be whether he and I liked it or not.
I opened my arms and wings to her and told her to trust me I meant no harm. Although she was frightened and reluctant she came into my arms anyways. I flew her away from the pain of everyday living,I took her to a place of peace,light,and prosperity.The heavenly place I could no longer enter.When I approached the gates the guardian angels rushed me away saying that I was no longer allowed there,no longer a friend or sibling.I had become the enemy, the beast,the disgrace,and the forsaken one.
I told them that I was returning a soul that has not been lost. The girl needed a safe place to go where there was no pain. I placed her in front of the gates and flew away not looking back. My eyes started to burn with tears, the pain in my chest started to swell up. I had to return to my master without his precious prize. I knew what I had done was wrong and that the punishment would be severe.
Entering the dark, damp, musty corridor I was suddenly tied to the ground again. The chains of my past seem to find me in the dark and drag me to the ground. My master appeared with a whip of fire in his hands.Then I knew that this would be my punishment. With every burning crack,I knew that my heart would heal,and that the girl would dance on the clouds forever happy.Meanwhile I suffer alone in this darkness and punishment,sitting,waiting for a sign of hope to unchain me inside this deep,lonely,scarring,burning,darkness.
for being my true,pure,loving,and secluded,emotional self.
I am tired of suffering like this.There is no reason why any soul should be suffering as much as mine.We all deserve something for our righteousness in this world dead or not.Soon I will be broken from this curse and break free to be myself,And roam the world free of this nightmare I live in,Free of the tyrant who rules over me making me do such horrible things to the souls of the innocent,Torturing them to no end and taking them for him to enjoy and hurt,I’m tired of this all,I need to be free,forever.Out of hell,the darkness,and the flames that its made from.
And as I move on I will remember the sins I committed and learn from them,and one day find a day i will fall in love with the right one like me and finally return to heaven.Free from my burdens I have caused upon myself,And free from the regretful memories of my past.
Freedom the only thing I need,is so close yet so far,And happens to be life’s great lie,But I will get it.One day the moment will come.And when it does there will be no going back.
