In just a few weeks Sophie Cook and the Labour Party have succeeded in turning East Worthing and Shoreham into a near-marginal constituency. Thank you to everyone who voted Labour on June 8. And thank you to the hundreds of Labour members and supporters who have helped us achieve this turnaround.
Labour’s vote more than doubled by over 11,000 votes to 20,882.
Support for Tory Tim Loughton was 25,988 despite a collapse in the Ukip vote. Share of the vote is 48.9 per cent for the Tories (49.5 per cent in 2015) and 39.3 per cent for Labour (19.5 per cent).
Labour has fought a bold and vigorous election campaign in East Worthing and Shoreham and our candidate Sophie Cook has been a great ambassador for Labour. Turnout was up by around 3,000 voters at 53,117.
We are still uncertain about the future shape of our national government and this may not become clear for a few days. But we know that locally for the time being we are stuck with a Tory MP who puts his party before the people he serves.
He has taken voters for granted and the voters have served him notice: the Tory empire is going to come crashing down.
Whatever happens, Labour will not stand by and see our NHS services being squeezed as waiting lists get ever longer. We will not sit back and allow the Tory-led council in West Sussex to take more services away from vulnerable older people and the disabled. Education cuts must be reversed so that every one of our children can have the best possible start in life.
East Worthing and Shoreham Labour Party has proved itself to be a strong campaigning force. We will take an active and positive role in defending public services and we want to involve everyone who shares our values of fairness, equality and social justice.
And when the next elections are called – we are ready!

The musky is a North American sport fish that is presently stocked in some type in thirty five states as well as provinces in Canada. Even although musky fishing pressure has increased over the many years, there are nonetheless plenty of trophy musky in our waters. Capture and release fishing for muskies has truly turn out to be popular in recent years which ought to improve the musky population. Many anglers now really feel that a image is just as great as a mount.
Puerto Penasco is famous for its pristine beaches, turquoise blue waters, crystal clear diving sites and over all, for fishing. Simply because of the various estuaries in the area and the proximity to a natural reserve San Jorge Islands, the Sea of Cortez has many species of fish and other maritime animals. It is world-renowned for its deep sea and surf rent boat panama.
Crank Baits are another kind of entice that works fairly well. This kind of entice is developed to look very lively and genuine to the Bass. This tends to make it very efficient when used properly.
This historic hotel is one of the Historic Resorts of The united states. The wealthy background of the hotel tell the tale of the tycoons, politicians and socialites who flocked to the unspoiled island at the flip of the century. In 1904 Jekyll Island club was described by Munsey’s Journal as “the riches, the most unique, the most inaccessible club in the globe” Associates of the club integrated J.P. Morgan, William Rockefeller, Vincent Astor, Joseph Pulitzer, William Vanderbilt, Marshall Field, Henry Hyde, Macy, Goodyear and Gould.
Another famous attraction for backpackers in Broome is the “Staircase to the Moon” in the Roebuck Bay. You can witness this magnificent phenomenon when you go to between March and Oct. This is actually an illusion made by the silver reflection of the moon on the mudflats, making an image of a staircase towards the moon. Locals say that you haven’t noticed the best of Broome if you fail to witness this phenomenon.
Vacations are all about rest and rejuvenation. Of course, this indicates doing all those calming activities that we enjoy the most. Some of us go to the mountains for a ski vacation, some of us prefer hiking in the forest or even a journey to the arid desert. But if you adore the ocean and beaches, you should certainly plan to arrive to Puerto Penasco, Mexico to de-stress your self. Rent a condominium or a villa correct on the beach at Laguna Shores Resort just north of Rocky Point and have a time of your lifestyle.
Jerkbaits come in all measurements, shapes, and colours. Some float, some suspend, and some sink. If you are not already relying on a jerkbait for early spring bass fishing, then I would suggest giving them a try. Select a variety of these types of lures then tie one on and give it a try. You’ll be glad you did and you just may find a jerkbait to be 1 of the deadliest lures recognized to bass.

Nicolas Pepe’s anticipated Arsenal departure means that Arsenal will need to sign a winger at the end of the season. Edu can strengthen in this area by stealing Manchester United’s reported proposal for Ousmane Dembele.
Pepe’s future is uncertain at the club as according to the Evening Standard, Arsenal will sit down with the winger and his agent at the end of the season to discuss his future. The winger has two years left on his deal and is expected to leave in the summer.
This news came before reports from Spanish outlet El Chringuito that Manchester United has offered Dembele a net salary of around £12m-a-year. The Frenchman’s contract is set to expire at the end of the season, and it is a deal Arsenal can explore after previously showing interest in the player.
The Spanish report also claims Dembele’s agent has had a meeting with Arsenal. The Frenchman’s contract expiring at the end of the campaign is a blessing for Edu as it allows him to save finances to strengthen in other areas of the squad.
Dembele had been constantly criticised in the past for his injury issues since joining Barcelona in 2018. But since the closure of the January transfer window, he has shown the form that is reminiscent of his time at Borussia Dortmund which persuaded the Catalan side to pay £100m for his services.
If Arsenal were to sign him, he would improve the squad with his direct play. His blistering pace will also provide breathing space for Bukayo Saka who has seemed to look burnt out at times this season due to the responsibility Mikel Arteta puts on his shoulders.
It appears Arteta does not see Pepe as a trustworthy option despite being the replacement for the youngster. He has featured heavily on the substitutes bench without receiving many minutes this season.
Dembele’s time at Barcelona has certainly hurt his reputation, but the Catalan club should take a lot of blame for this due to their issues on and off the pitch. Both Phillipe Coutinho and Antoine Griezmann also joined for major transfer fees and struggled at Barcelona, but they thrived elsewhere when given the opportunity, which is a fate that Dembele could also follow.
Manchester United’s interest in the Frenchman highlights that the highly-rated winger would be open to a move to the Premier League. If that if the case then Arsenal should position themselves to make sure that north London is his destination.

By Romanus Okoye, Lagos
The Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) Ikeja Branch, on Monday, protested the non-implementation of financial autonomy for the judiciary as enshrined in the constitution.
The protest followed a directive issued on Sunday by the President of Nigeria Bar Association, Olumide Akpata, to all state branches to stage a protest to support full implementation of financial autonomy. Akpata had directed the chairmen of all the branches of the NBA in the country “to effectively mobilise their members with effect from Monday, April 19, 2021, and on every Monday thereafter to visit the governor of their respective states at the Government House, until the governors comply with the demand for financial autonomy of the Judiciary.”
The protest was also to support the strike of the members of Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria (JUSUN) who have been on strike for two weeks demanding for full financial autonomy and independence for the judiciary.
In compliance with the directive of the NBA, the Ikeja Branch of the association, led by the chairman, Bartholomew Aguegbodo, yesterday took off from Ikeja Bar Centre and matched through Oba Akinjobi way, Oba Akran Avenue into Obafemi Awolowo Way and marched on Alausa secretariat to present their letter of demand to Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu.
They had a brief stop at Allen/Obafemi Awolowo roundabout where the Ikeja NBA chairman, Aguegbodo took minutes, to educate the public that their action was to ensure a better judiciary for the people of the state. By the time the protesting lawyers got to Alausa Secretariat, the gate of the Government House was already shut against them by security agents who barricaded the road and prevented them from accessing the governor’s office.
There was about one-hour heated arguments between the NBA Ikeja leadership and three different Directors from the governor’s office who came at different times to convince the Ikeja NBA to hand over its letter to them for the attention of the governor. But the lawyers stood their ground that they will only deliver the letter of the Bar to the governor directly or an officer in his office. The lawyers were later prevailed upon to send their representatives to go into the government house to drop the letter.
A four-man team, including the chairman, Aguegbodo, two former chairmen, Monday Ubani and Adesina Ogunlana and Chibuzor Agwocha, were later agreed on and allowed to deliver their letter of demands. Upon their return, Agugbodo told journalists that the letter stating their demands was received and acknowledged by one Deji, the officer in-charge of administrative mails in the governor’s office.
The NBA Ikeja chairman described their protest to the governor’s office as “a re-sounding success. We would now wait and see if the Governor of Lagos State would adhere to the demand of JUSUN. If they don’t, on next Monday, we shall proceed again on another peaceful protest.”
Agugbodo disagreed with the Chief Judge of Lagos State, Justice Kazeem Alogba who on Thursday said the judiciary in the state enjoys financial autonomy. He contended that what obtains in Lagos state is partial compliance with the provisions of the constitution.
“The issue that Lagos state Judiciary enjoys autonomy is not a full autonomy. We are saying the autonomy they enjoy is not in full compliance with the provisions of the constitution. What we are demanding, and that is a part of JUSUN’s demand, is that there must be total compliance with the constitution for full financial autonomy.
“It is not one whereby projects by the judiciary would require approval from the executive before it is done. The funds meant for the judiciary should be deducted from the federation account directly into the account of the Chief Judge, the head of the court.
“Where judiciary go cap in hand to get their projects done is not the way to go. That is why we must get them to implement full judicial independence and financial autonomy as provided for in the constitution and not in their own way. By so doing, we would have fearless judges who will give judgment without thinking that oh, if I give judgment against the state, I may not get any emolument increase or any promotion henceforth. That undermines the independence of the judiciary. If I know that every three years, the executive would change my jeep, and I have a matter against the state government, I may be very mindful how my judgment would go.”

I may add the question: Why are the bonus-greedy destroyers of global prosperity are still on their jobs at all? I expect a complete change of elites within the next 3 years as has always been the case after every financial crisis in history.
The report, prepared by 160 organisations accuses the undemocratic top echelon of the EU that they were only interested in stabilizing the banking industry and not in an improvement for the whole society.
From the report:
The vast majority of experts advising the European Commission on greater financial regulation are drawn from the same institutions that helped cause the crisis, claims a new report published on Thursday (5 November).Alright, the fights between all and everybody are on. But who will provide real solutions?
The document, A captive Commission - the role of the financial industry in shaping EU regulation, accuses the EU executive of listening almost exclusively to the finance industry both before and after the onset of the financial crisis over a year ago.
Its authors, the Alliance for Lobbying Transparency and Ethics Regulation (Alter-EU), a coalition of some 160 civil society groups, say the commission continues to draw insufficiently from the considerable expertise to be found in academia and civil society groups.
"The commission only seems to be interested in listening to the advice of the finance industry, rather than acting in the interests of society," said Paul de Clerck, a member of ALTER-EU's steering committee.
Mr de Clerck is also critical of the legislative proposals put forward by the commission in September and currently being analysed by the European Parliament's economic committee and member state governments.
"The commission tells us they are tightening the rules but in reality their proposals still leave many loopholes. If the commission wants to restore confidence in our financial systems, it must break free of this stranglehold of partial advice," he says.
De Larosiere Group
The draft legislation draws extensively on a February report by a high-level group set up by European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso last October, whose board almost immediately received criticism over its make-up.
FIN-USE, a group of experts in consumer protection and small businesses that also advises the commission, wrote a letter to Mr Barroso describing the Larosiere group members as "all eminent, respected members of the financial establishment."
"However, that is the very point – they are members of the 'establishment' and none could be considered dedicated user representatives," reads the letter.
Mr Larosiere himself is an advisor to French bank BNP Paribas, while other board members also have close links to large financial institutions implicated in the crisis including Lehman Brothers (Rainer Masera), Goldman Sachs (Otmar Issing) and CitiGroup (Onno Ruding).
"A fifth, Callum McCarthy, was the head of the UK Financial Services Authority, which had been described as systematically failing during the crisis. Another member, Leszek Balcerowicz, is well-known for his opposition to regulation," says the report.
In response, the Commission says it is unfair to concentrate solely on the financial sector, arguing that a look at a broad cross section of the EU's many expert groups reveals a balanced showing of representatives from NGOs, consumer groups, and civil society in general as well as industry officials.
Alter-EU contests the suggestion of overall balance.
"The commission hasn't provided us with any evidence that what they are saying is actually backed up by figures," Mr de Clerck told this website.
On the question of sourcing financial advice from those implicated in the crisis, the commission says many of its advisors were among those to first sound the alarm bell.
The EU executive adds that the complicated nature of financial regulation makes it imperative to seek advice from established financial figures.
"If you want financial advice you don't ask a baker," one official told EUobserver.
EU finance ministers will meet next Tuesday in Brussels to discuss the Commission's draft proposals that call for a European risk board and three supervisory authorities to be set up.
In a sign of the extensive dogfight still to come, the UK threatened this week to veto the planned overhaul of EU financial regulation if further safeguards against EU interference in national financial affairs are not added.
"There can be no interventions that have fiscal consequences for individual nations," Paul Myners, the UK City minister, told the country's treasury committee.

For the first time in the history of CP - Comboios de Portugal (the portuguese state-owned train company), some carriages are being redesigned to allow the transport of 12 bicycles, in a spacious area dedicated to bicycle mobility.
Text: P. Guerra dos Santos

Sorefame carriage, after renovation and intervention.
We already know that the state-owned passenger railway company is on the rise again. The reopening of several workshops and the hiring of dozens of new civil and mechanical locksmiths allowed CP to increase its supply capacity by recovering dozens of carriages, self-propelled units and traction machines that had been parked for years all over the country.
But the news does not stop there. Aware of the increase in the number of passengers traveling with their bicycles - the Douro and Algarve Railway Lines burst at the seams in the number of pedaling passengers - CP decided to incorporate in the famous Sorefame carriages, manufactured in Portugal in the 1980s/90s, a large space dedicated exclusively to passengers who are transported with their bicycles.
Designed from scratch and adapted to the structure of this type of carriages, this is the first time that the Portuguese railway company has assumed, on such a large scale, its unconditional support for cycling mobility and, in particular, to cycle tourism.
View from one side of the area reserved for the storage of 12 bicycles.
According to José Carlos Barbosa, director of Maintenance and Engineering at CP, this is just the first of 4 Sorefame carriages that will be recovered with an intervention R2 type (overhaul) and in which spaces dedicated to passengers who like to travel will be created.by train and also by bicycle.They will all circulate on the Douro Raileay Line, the most touristic in the country, making a regular passenger transport service. And bicycles of course!
New support hooks, wider, more robust and of variable lengths.
"... CP's designers reinforced the bicycle support hooks using larger and thicker tubes ..."
A crowdfunding campaign is underway to finance the identification of a new road book exclusively with routes in mountain, high-mountain and deep valley areas to be pedalled using electric bikes.
Be part of the succes of this campaign and get your reward.
More information at Portugal's Best E-Bike Tours | PPL
But there is more.
This time, the CP designers reinforced the bicycle support hooks using pipes with a larger section and thickness, thus ensuring the safe transport of even electrically assisted bicycles, which are generally heavier than conventional ones.
In due course CP will publicize the date on which these carriages (re) will enter into service to the public. We look forward to more news.
The National Cycle Tourism Network congratulates ALL CP professionals, as well as the company, for the incredible effort to maintain and modernize the rolling stock and for the growing support for bicycle tourism in our country.


Pulse control LSIs specialize in motion control, and feature high operational reliability.
In motion control, acceleration and deceleration are central to the move profiles used to control a motor. Good acceleration and deceleration control ensures quick and accurate positioning, and fast settling without damaging equipment or materials.
For instance, consider a basic tin-can stepper motor tasked with moving a heavy load. If the expectation is that the stepper will be able to generate enough force to move the load at a high speed right out of the gate, it will not be able to perform that movement and will fall out-of-step. This would be akin to trying to start a car’s manual transmission in fifth gear. What happens instead is that car starts in first gear, then slowly works its way up to fifth gear. Similarly, in order to move a heavy load with a small, standard motor, the speed must be ramped up slowly.
Likewise, if a heavy load is moving at a fast speed, inertia prevents it from stopping instantaneously. The load must slow down before coming to a stop from the slower speed. If the deceleration is too quick, it can cause damage to equipment or workpiece due to impact or shock.
There are several types of acceleration/deceleration movements that are commonly used in motion control. Linear acceleration/deceleration is the simplest to generate, but there is a jolt at the beginning and end of any speed changes. Using S-curve acceleration/deceleration is gentler and there is less impact to the load when changing speeds. Linear and S-curve motion profiles can be used in tandem to provide less shock to the load while lessening the demand on the motor. For delicate loads such as semiconductor wafers or electronic chips, S-curve acceleration/deceleration helps mitigate the risk of damage.
What is a pulse control LSI/ASIC chip?
To operate any motor, what’s needed is a device or circuit that produces a speed and direction signal. In many cases, a CPU or FPGA device is used to create movement, because technically these devices can be programmed to generate pulses. However, no serious engineer should consider using these for important motion control applications, unless they are okay with a “good enough” mentality when it comes to their application’s movement.
Another option is to use an LSI (large-scale integration) pulse control IC. A pulse control LSI is a dedicated chip that’s specialized for motor control. Manufacturers have different names for these kinds of controllers – motion control IC, motor control LSI, pulse generator, ASIC chip, etc. – but they are all essentially the same thing. Using a convenient motion control-specific tool like a pulse control LSI makes it easy to design programs.
Choosing a pulse control LSI lets engineers easily write setting data and commands for both linear and S-curve acceleration/deceleration without overloading the CPU. When CPU and engineering resource costs, ease of use, and speed of development are considered, the end user benefits greatly from the specialized motion control option.
Is pulse control with a CPU difficult?
Creating pulse signals only using a CPU has a few drawbacks. For starters, one has to create a program that uses counters or timers to turn the port on and off. It’s easy to control at a constant frequency, but it can be quite troublesome to create a program that features a constantly changing acceleration/deceleration rate. An inexpensive CPU is also easily burdened by processing motion control demands, so it will have a hard time performing other commands simultaneously. This means that a high-performance CPU would be necessary for even basic linear acceleration/deceleration.
As speed increases, the pulse period becomes shorter. There are two general methods of acceleration/deceleration: 1) using a CPU to gradually shorten the pulse period, which is taxing for the CPU, or 2) using the interrupt method of stair-step acceleration/deceleration.
When using a CPU to shorten the pulse period, there are lots of factors to consider: How many pulses should be output in total? At what point does the motor need to start decelerating? If decelerated to the initial speed (FL speed), can it be stopped exactly there? Since the current position cannot be managed by setting only the number of pulses to be outputted, is an absolute value counter also necessary? If the motor and/or controller can be forcibly stopped with a signal from the outside, what should be done with that signal processing?
Developing software for a CPU can also be labor-intensive, and the features and performance of the CPU may determine by how much the pulse cycle can be shortened.
Development of the acceleration/deceleration programs is much easier with a pulse control LSI. There is an easy flow from the time you start writing the program to the completed operation. (See the flow chart below.) Not only can one easily program linear and S-curve acceleration/deceleration, but determining current positioning is easier thanks to the up/down counter values.
Because the CPU is able to leave the LSI unmonitored, the LSI transmits an interrupt signal to the CPU when the operation is completed. An external dedicated terminal can also forcibly stop a pulse control LSI if necessary. The hours required for development are greatly decreased, and high-frequency output pulses are possible regardless of the CPU’s speed because the chips are not burdened by the CPU’s speed or capability limitations. Pulse control LSIs specialize in motion control, so they have high operational reliability.

I was born White and have been that way for more than 60 years. The first 18 of those years can best be described as a period of "cultural encapsulation." (J. A. Banks, 1994) Since I had never met a person who wasn't White, I had never experienced the "other"; race for me was a nonrelevant concept. In my youth, I had no conscious awareness of anything that might be called "racial identity." Like water to a fish, or the air we breathe (Tatum, 2003), Whiteness to me was the centerpiece of a constant and undifferentiated milieu, unnoticed in its normalcy.
It wasn't until my senior year in high school that I discovered my Whiteness. A White male friend, who was going out with an African American student from another school, asked if I wanted to join them on a double date with one of her friends, also Black. This was the first time I had ever been invited to dip my toes in the river of racial consciousness. It was the first intrusion into to my white-washed world. I was afraid. I was confused. I was curious.
As for most of my fellow White Americans growing up in suburbia in the 1950s, people of color had existed only on the distant periphery of my social reality. "Amos and Andy," Tonto in "the Lone Ranger," and clips of civil rights activities on the evening news were my only tenuous connections with the other America. And even those limited images were, of course, coming through several layers of White media filtering, with all the inevitable prejudice and racism intact.
This simple invitation to meet a new person, to go on a date with an African American woman, shook loose one of the basic linchpins of my social isolation. It is interesting that my initial response was fear. Fear is the classic White American reaction to any intrusion into our cultural capsule. What will happen to me? Will I be safe? What will other White people think of me? What will "the other" think of me? How do I act? What do I say? Will I survive? I was overwhelmed by an emotional flood of narcissistic and xenophobic trivia.
Reflecting back on this experience, I realize that members of the dominant group in any society do not necessarily have to know anything about those people who are not like them. For our survival and the carrying on of the day-to-day activities of our lives, most White Americans do not have to engage in any meaningful personal connection with people who are different. This privileged isolation is not a luxury available to people who live outside of dominance and must, for their survival, understand the essential social nuances of those in power. The luxury of ignorance reinforces and perpetuates White isolation.

Sheldon vows to fight for Senate job
* The representative says he will challenge the Democrats' vote for Lena Swanson.
By Tim Christie
An angry Rep. Tim Sheldon said Monday he is challenging the voting process by which Democrats snubbed him for a soon-to-be vacant Senate seat.
Democrats in the 35th Legislative District passed over Sheldon on Saturday and instead nominated Lena Swanson of Bremerton to the Senate seat vacated by Brad Owen.
Owen, of Shelton, was elected lieutenant governor in November. His resignation from the Senate takes effect Jan. 15, the same day he'll be sworn into his new office.
Sheldon, a three-term lawmaker from Potlatch, was considered the early favorite, but some local Democrats opposed the move, saying he's too conservative.
When precinct committee officers from Kitsap, Thurston, Mason and Grays Harbor counties met Saturday in Shelton with party officials, they left Sheldon off their list of three nominees.
The No. 1 nominee was Swanson, who unsuccessfully challenged Rep. Peggy Johnson, R-Shelton, in November. She was unavailable for comment Monday.
The secondand third-ranked nominees are Terry Verone of Olympia and Ross Gallagher of Shelton.
Swanson, who works for the state Veterans Affairs Department, won the top spot for the Senate seat on the second ballot after trailing Sheldon on the first.
That list now goes to the county commissioners in the four counties. Seven of the 12 county commissioners have to vote together on a nominee, and by law they can only choose someone from the list of three.
But Sheldon said he hopes the vote will be retabulated.
"This was ballot stuffing at its worst," Sheldon said Monday.
Specifically, he said some of the PCOs who voted were not appointed in accordance with party bylaws, and up to 17 individuals were not eligible to vote, he said.
Sheldon plans to run for the seat in November no matter what happens. But he faxed an appeal Monday to state party officials in Seattle, asking them to retabulate the vote. That could be done, he said, because ballots are signed.
Sheldon did not rule out a court challenge if he doesn't get satisfaction from the state party.
PCOs who were appointed to their posts, rather than elected, should not have been allowed to vote Saturday, he said. But state Democratic chairman Paul Berendt, who presided over the meeting, rebutted Sheldon's charges.
"I think it was squeaky clean and very well conducted," he said. "I did not take sides. I did my darndest to be a mediator. I tried to help Tim Sheldon mend his fences in the party."
State law gives parties wide latitude in making appointments to vacant legislative positions, Berendt said. The state party turns the decision over to local precinct committee officers, and party rules say both appointed and elected PCOs are allowed to vote, as long as they aren't appointed after the vacancy occurs.
Since Owen's resignation isn't effective until Jan. 15, any PCOs appointed before that date are eligible to vote, he said.
"Tim has been at odds with the Democratic Party for about five years," said Virginia McKinnney, chairwoman of the 35th District Democrats.
He votes with Republicans between 80 and 85 percent of the time, and with labor less than 10 percent of the time, she said. In 1996, he voted with labor just once, she said.
"When Democrats are strong in labor, you are going against the Democrats in your legislative district, and I think that's what the people were saying to him."
"I think I'm being punished for not being a lapdog Democrat," Sheldon said. "I am not a labor litmus test Democrat who worships at the labor temple."
Despite the snub, Sheldon said he has given no thought to switching parties.
"I'm a lifelong Democrat, but I'm not a liberal urban Democrat legislator," he said. "This is a very small vocal minority (of Democrats) that is out of touch with the reality of the district."
Owen, a strong backer of Sheldon's, was upset by the weekend's voting. The party needs to expand its base by including more conservative thinkers, he said.
The Associated Press contributed to this story.

Associated Students’ base fee measure, Proposition A.S., which would have increased the institution’s basic services fee by $10 per student per quarter – fell 443 votes short of passing.
In A.S.’s first online election, 5,348 students cast their ballots on the A.S. initiative. The A.S. base fee, which needed two-thirds of the vote to be implemented, received only 58.38 percent of the vote, not enough to pass.
“[The base fee initiative’s failure] is going to have a real impact on A.S. and student activities this year, Deanna Kavanaugh-Jones, external vice president for local affairs, said.
It will leave A.S. Finance Board, the governing body that allocates funds to student groups, with less than $28,000 for the rest of the year. Previous A.S. boards saw budgets almost four times that size.
“Students are going to feel the effects of the severe lack of student activities on campus this year as a result of the base fee not passing,” Kavanaugh-Jones, said.
Kavanaugh-Jones said A.S. would have to increase the recharge fees; fees it charges affiliated groups in exchange for taking care of their administrative and financial paperwork, which will further decrease the amount of money these groups will have to fund student activities.
“We have started looking for ways to help student groups find funding to sustain themselves,” Kavanaugh-Jones said.
A.S. Executive Director Don Daves-Rougeaux said at last week’s Legislative Council meeting that the election results would be tallied by Oct. 11 but A.S. would wait to release its results until Oct. 14 when the MCC would be able to release the results from its measure. Results for the MCC initiative, which passed with 82 percent of the vote, were released on schedule.
The A.S. Elections Committee would not release the election results of the A.S. initiative to the Daily Nexus as of press time. Daves-Rougeaux said the results could not be released because the A.S. office was closed due to recent strikes.
The Chair of the A.S. Elections Committee and the Campus Elections Committee, James Keenley, released the results to the university newsletter, 93106, which provided them to the Daily Nexus. The official results of the A.S. ballot measure were also not released to A.S. Legislative Council members.
The Election Committee’s decision to release the results of the A.S. base fee increase only to specific members of the public, while excluding others, could violate California’s public records laws.

Establish and test a prototype version of a World-Wide Web-based, regional hydrometeorological data bank (R-ArcticNET v2.0) to support pan-Arctic hydrological sciences and water resource assessment in the Arctic regions.
With the potential sensitivity of Arctic Sea Ice formation to inputs from the terrestrial land surface there is a need to provide the Arctic scientific community with time series of river discharge data.
This data set will provide a baseline against which Arctic system scientists can compare simulation results and which can provide a boundary condition for Ocean circulation models
There is also an important need to inventory and make available data for water resources assessments in the context of deteriorating monitoring networks.
The assembly and use of such hydromet data consolidates ongoing computerized data bank activities including the Global River Discharge Database (RivDIS 1.0) published recently by UNESCO as part of the Technical Documents in Hydrology series and the forthcoming Arctic River Discharge Database developed at the University of New Hampshire and to be released on CD-ROM by the National Snow and Ice Data Center, Boulder, CO
Interactions within the regional scientific community via WWW-connectivity are necessary to promote state-of-the-art science in this area of the world.
The Pan-Arctic Project is a multi-disciplinary NSF-funded project carried out at the following organizations:
Water Systems Analysis Group, University of New Hampshire, USA
Marine Biological Lab, USA
State Hydrological Institute, St. Petersburg, Russia
University of Delaware, USA
University of Colorado, USA
The goals of the project are to estimate the contemporary water and constituent balances for the pan-Arctic drainage system. The pan-Arctic drainage system encompasses all terrestrial land area draining into the Arctic Ocean as well as the land mass draining into Hudson Bay, James Bay in Canada and the northern Bering Sea which includes the Yukon River in Alaska and the Anadyr River in Russia. This represents a land area of approximately 21 million km2.
The first half of the project has been devoted to the hydrological cycle. A primary focus of that has been to develop a river discharge database for the entire Pan-Arctic region. Our concentration has been on coarse scale modeling with a grid cell resolution of 30' x 30' (latitude x longitude). As result we were mainly interested in drainage basins greater than 15,000 km2. However, for Canada and Russia we collected all available river gauges irrespective of size. For the purposes of continental and global scale modeling, it is the gauges for large drainage areas which will be of greatest interest in the regional, continental and global-scale scientific community.
R-ArcticNET Version 2.0 of the data bank contains the comprehensive river discharge database with over 3700 gauges covering the entire pan-Arctic drainage system. The pan-Arctic drainage region is defined as the entire land area draining into the Arctic Ocean as well as Hudson Bay, James Bay and the Northern Bering Strait which includes the Yukon and Anadyr Rivers.

Data Sources and Processing Details:
USGS data was obtained from the WWWeb (HCDN) or received by ftp from USGS offices in Alaska (AK data) in the USGS format. Data were extracted from these files and converted to metric units consistent with the other data sets.
Data for Alaska were supplied by David F Meyer (email@example.com) a USGS hydrologist in Anchorage, AK. Prior to 1965, the data were published in USGS Water Supply Papers Wells and Love , Hendricks  and U.S. Geological Survey . Since 1965, the data have been published annually [U.S. Geological Survey, 1967-1996]. Gauges for drainage basins outside of the Pan-Arctic region (such as the southern coast of Alaska) were removed.
Data for the US Midwest were obtained from the Hydro-Climatic Data network (HCDN) by Slack et al.  - http://wwwrvares.er.usgs.gov:80/hcdn_cdrom/region09.html. Only gauges for drainage areas greater than 15,000 km2 were collected.
The source of the Canadian data was HYDAT - Environment Canada CD-ROM from EarthInfo Inc. Version 4.93 Surface Water and Sediment Data, Atmosphere Environment Service. Monthly data for all gauges were pulled off the CD-ROM and all US gauges and non-Pan-Arctic gauges were removed from the database.
Russia and other Eurasian Countries:
The original data archive was originally collected by the Department for River Runoff and Water Management Problems in the State Hydrological Institute, St. Petersburg, Russia. This covered the period up to 1985 although there were a large number of missing values. All available gauges for the Russian pan-Arctic region were collected. As part of Pan-Arctic project, the State Hydrological Institute (SHI) updated the river discharge time series to 1990 and filled in many of the missing values.
The data from other Eurasian countries, Finland, Iceland, Mongolia and Norway, were supplied by the SHI. These data were collected from the Global Water and Water Use Archive developed by the Laboratory of Water Resources and Water Balance at SHI. Data for these Eurasian countries were collected for gauges from drainage basins having drainage areas greater than 1000 km2.
Data supplied byIgor Shiklomanov (firstname.lastname@example.org)
All data were combined in a common, uniform data base using Microsoft Access. Data were stored as three tables:
Discharge - Horizontal Format
Discharge - Vertical Format
The Site Attribute table included information on the gauge name, the original Code number assigned by the source agency, drainage area, latitude and longitude, and the source of the data. Except for minor spelling adjustments, the spelling of the Russian station names were left as received from SHI.
A unique identification number (PointID) was assigned to each gauge to prevent potential overlap in the code numbers. Due to the coding used by the three countries, there was no overlap since Russia uses a 4-5 digit numeric code, the USGS uses an 8 or 15 digit numeric code and a 7 digit alpha-numeric code is used in Canada. The unique identification numbers have been retained as some software requires a numeric field for indexing. Therefore both PointID and Code are unique identifiers for the gauges.
Richard Lammers, Water Systems Analysis Group, University of New Hampshire (UNH), constructed the initial database, made data modifications and updates. Alexander Shiklomanov, Arctic and Antarctic Research Institute, St. Petersburg and UNH, assisted in the initial data processing and later took control of the database. He was responsible for adding new stations, updating existing gauges and correcting errors. This was an ongoing process as more Russian data became available in digital form. Control was returned to Richard Lammers for final data processing, generation of hydrographs and preparation of the WWWeb pages and CD-ROM.
HTML coding and CD-ROM preparation were developed by Allan Wright, Research Computing Center, UNH. Graphics and database coding for the web pages and CD-ROM were developed by Stanley Glidden, Water Systems Analysis Group, UNH.
Digitizing of the Russian discharge data at SHI was conducted by Elena Zaitseva and Tanya Molchanova
Igor Shiklomanov, State Hydrological Institute, St. Petersburg, Russia, supplied all Eurasian data for this project.
Robert Morris, Environment Canada, was instrumental in securing permissions to allow the Canadian data to be placed on the WWWeb and CD-ROM.
The total number of gauges given in R-ArcticNET v2.0 is 3713. The following table shows a list of the number of gauges divided by data source.
|Source||Number of Gauges|
The total number of gauges by hydrological zone are given in the following table.
|Hydrological Zone||Number of Gauges|
|North European Russia||319|
|Northwest Hudson Bay||99|
|South and East Hudson Bay||183|
The data can be found on the Internet at http://www.R-ArcticNET.sr.unh.edu
Study Area and Spatio-temporal coverage
The area of coverage for this data set includes all terrestrial land area draining into the Arctic Ocean, as well as the drainage regions of Hudson Bay and the northern Bering Strait. Temporally, the data set contains monthly river data with holdings extending from prior to 1900 (for four Canadian and five Russian gauges) until the early 1990s. The length of record for individual gauges is extremely variable and the majority of data occurs between 1960 and 1990.

Political activist Adam Kokesh pleads to possession of gun, drugs near White House
Adam Kokesh, the political activist who posted a video of himself pumping a shotgun near the White House, has pleaded guilty to weapons and drug charges.
The 31-year-old Kokesh admitted in a D.C. Superior Court on Wednesday to charges of carrying a shotgun, possession of an unregistered firearm, and unlawful possession of ammunition. He also pleaded guilty to a separate charge of possession of marijuana.
U.S. Attorney Ronald Machen Jr. applauded the conviction, pointing out that law enforcement officers put their lives on the line to protect national government facilities, landmarks and public servants working in the city.
“Their jobs are hard enough without irresponsible people intentionally coming into the District of Columbia to brandish a loaded shotgun in the heart of the nation’s capital,” Machen said in a release. “There are consequences to anyone who flagrantly abuses our city’s gun and drug laws.”
Kokesh faces a maximum penalty of five…

ADDISON, Ala. — Addison Lady Dawgs needed to beat the Lady Jackets twice to grab the county championship Saturday night but came up short in game one against the Winston County 6-3 to finish as county runners up. Addison had to come out of the loser’s bracket on a beautiful Saturday afternoon and they almost pulled it off. The Addison Lady Bulldogs knocked out the Lynn Lady Bears 12-5. They then squeaked by the Meek Lady Tigers 4-3 to advance to the championship game. The Winston County Lady Yellow Jackets defeated Addison 6-3 for the Tourney title.
Addison started off the first inning red hot, with “Glove” Luker doubling and then “Pudding” Aderholt crushing a home run to left center field for a quick Addison 2-0 lead.
The Lady Jackets came right back with some help from the Dawg defense. The Jackets had a one out single by Emily Holt who then scored on a Baby Dawg error cutting the lead to 2-1.
That score held up till the top of the third when “Glove” Luker homered bringing the score to 3-1 in favor of the Baby Bulldogs.
Winston County plated another unearned run in the bottom of the fourth as Kanesha Flanagin singled bringing home Emily Hill. This cut the Addison lead to 3-2.
It all fell apart for the Lady Dawgs in the bottom of the fifth as Winston County scored 4 runs, only two of them earned, to take a commanding 6-3 lead. Olivia Wright walked and then Emily Holt singled. Both advanced on a wild pitch. Wright scored on an error, then Emily Hill scored Holt on a sacrifice fly.

The male chest shape symbolically represents virility and strength. The ideal male chest is muscular and lacks excess adipose tissue. Gynaecomastia (or ‘man-boobs’) is a condition affecting male patients where there is an excess of breast glandular tissue and/or fat. It is most common in teenage boys and older men. It has many causes such as hormone imbalance, obesity and side effects of certain medication or can occur without an obvious cause. It can be a source of embarrassment and lack of self-esteem in men with this condition. Management is centred in treating reversible causes such as hormone imbalance and surgical body sculpting procedures such as liposuction and surgical removal of the excess tissue. At TPSG we offer a minimal scar technique to address the problem.
Who is suitable for gynaecomastia surgery?
Men with a normal weight stand to gain the most from surgical procedures as compared with those who are overweight. Furthermore, this a very effective treatment to get rid of excess skin and tissue in patients who have undergone a weight loss programme. At TPSG we offer surgery to all men above the age of 18. Prior to surgery all patients will have a detailed history taken and examination performed. If necessary, patients will be referred to an Endocrinologist to exclude any causes that can be treated medically. Surgery for gynaecomastia is not suitable for patients who seek weight loss by means of surgery.
What areas can be treated?
Typically it is the anterior chest and torso of the male patient that is treated.
How do I decide what I need?
At TPSG all patients will be seen by the surgeon who is going to perform the procedure on them. All concerns are discussed and an appropriate, achievable and safe gyanecomastia procedure will be chosen.
What does the operation involve?
The operation is performed under general anaesthesia as a day case procedure. Two small incisions (one for each breast) are made on the chest wall where it is least noticeable, to allow the introduction of the liposuction cannula. After an adequate liposuction, through the same small incision excess breast gland is carefully removed. The incisions are closed with an absorbable suture and small dressing applied over it. All patients are then placed in an elasticated compression garments to decrease oedema. Patients are advised to wear the garment at all times for six weeks.
What happens after the operation?
Patients can go home the same day after the operation and are encouraged to mobilise, discomfort permitting. They will be allowed to shower 24-48 hours after the operation. Driving, office type job and light duties are permitted 10-14 days after the operation. Sporting activities can be resumed after 6 weeks. It will take 3-6 months for the full benefit of the surgery to be realised once the swelling has settled down.
How long do the results last?
The benefits of body contouring procedures can last a life time. However, if the patient gains weight excessively for example, the shape of the chest area can return to the pre-operative state. Therefore, it is essential for patients to maintain their results by adopting a healthy lifestyle.
What are the risks of gynaecomastia surgery?
On the whole in carefully selected patients the risk of surgery is minimal. Minor skin infection, mild contour deformity, misshaped nipple and bleeding after the operation are some of the more common risks. At TPSG, utmost care and attention is paid to every detail of the surgical journey to ensure the risk of any complication is absolutely minimised.

Crucibles of Leadership by Warren G. Bennis and Robert J. Thomas
In literal terms, this quick and easy read is a short summary of the personal experiences and challenges of seven people who have achieved significant accomplishments, fame notwithstanding. In terms of the purpose of the article, the point is to share what made these individuals leaders, to evaluate their crucibles.
The first five stories were about individuals who refused to be crushed by pressures intended to destroy them whereas the remaining stories are about individuals who rose to meet the pressures of high expectations, expectations intended to groom them. Relative to the first five stories, the core principles are as follows:
•You must develop your own narrative to explain your dilemma, and it is this narrative that gives you a path forward, an escape.
•You must resolve that quitting is not a viable choice.
These are perspectives that you must arrive at entirely on your own. Trying experiences lead to linkages that allow you to connect those things that actually occur with meaningfulness and possibility. That reflective process is redemptive. Further, once it is fully realized, it is nearly impossible for additional or external forces to move you from your post of conviction. Essentially, these convictions facilitate confident leadership. On the other hand, the central message of the remaining two stories focuses on intense mentorship and grooming. These stories speak to a willingness to be frequently corrected and with rigor. To willingly walk toward corrective feedback requires a level of respect, trust, and humility that many people find difficult to stomach. In order to be receptive to coaching, one takes different risks on the journey toward leadership and excellence. Those risks are:
1. Hearing about your flaws and mistakes over and over again and until they are ironed out (studies tell us that the lack of consistent and honest feedback is sorely lacking in the workplace and is a great cause of mediocrity); and
2. Submission relative to doing what you’re told to do, whether you’re unsure, in disagreement, or simply have a different preference.
Finally, Bennis and Thomas contend that both of experiences lead to personal core convictions which lay the foundation necessary for effective leadership. It is these personal convictions that create a framework that enable leaders to connect with those whom they influence. The connection comes from the leaders to usage of what they know to be tried and tested to achieve the following amongst those they influence:
a. Find and communicate shared meaning with those they lead;
b. Be a distinctive and compelling voice;
c. Operate with a sense of integrity; and
d. Exemplify adaptiveness.
Essentially, the work of a would-be leader begins with perspective-building amid obstacles. If you cannot see a path forward through your own dilemmas, how can you lead and align others through theirs?

The Eiffel Tower
is the most visited paying landmark the world over with nearly six million visitors a year. Visiting it is without doubt the absolute must-do Parisian experience
but you might find yourself disappointed if unprepared. You could be in for a wait of up to 3 hours! Whether it be a flying visit, a guided visit, complemented by a lunch or a dinner in the restaurant on the first floor, the 58 Tour Eiffel
, or even seeing it from cruise on board the company Bateaux Parisiens
whose departure point is just at the foot of the Eiffel Tower, Come to Paris offers interesting alternatives to make sure that the Eiffel Tower becomes for you a magnificent souvenir, forever engraved into your memory.
This superstructure was originally created for the World Fair of 1889 which was put together to commemorate the 100 year anniversary of the French Revolution. It was Gustave Eiffel who led the project, who was already widely celebrated for his metallic constructions and, notably, the iron skeleton for the Statue of Liberty.
Did you know? It was not in fact Gustave Eiffel who invented the Tower that carries his name. Two of his engineers had the idea to built the 300 meter tall tower, which is 1,000 feet tall and made it the tallest Tower in the world at the time. It took 2 years, 2 months and 5 days to construct. The Eiffel Tower has now reached a height of 324 meters thanks to the radio and television antenna at the top.
Innovations: Since the 6th October 2014, a glass floor with glass railings on the first floor of the Eiffel Tower has enabled the more adventurous among us to know the thrill of walking over the void over 58 meters high. The museum tour has also been improved and made accessible to people with reduced mobility.

Andre Dawkins scored a career-high 28 points in his first start to help top-ranked Duke beat Bradley 83-48 on Wednesday night, moving Coach Mike Krzyzewski past Kentucky's Adolph Rupp and into sole possession of third place on the all-time wins list.
The sophomore hit eight three-pointers for the Blue Devils (9-0) in place of star freshman point guard Kyrie Irving, who is out indefinitely with a toe injury on his right foot. Kyle Singler added 17 points as Duke shook off a cold-shooting first half and blew the game open with a flurry of threes after halftime.
It was Krzyzewski's 877th victory, moving him out of a tie with Rupp and putting him two behind North Carolina's Dean Smith for second place. Bobby Knight has the record with 902 wins. Krzyzewski could tie Smith at home against Elon on Dec. 20, then pass him when the Blue Devils face NorthCarolina-Greensboro on Dec. 29 in the Greensboro Coliseum.
Duke has won 19 straight games overall dating to last season's run to the Atlantic Coast Conference Tournament title and Krzyzewski's fourth NCAA championship.
Eastern Kentucky 95, Kentucky Christian 45: Boyle County graduate Spencer Perrin hit all eight of his shots for 16 points to lead the host Colonels, who got at least two points from everyone on their roster.
Josh Daniel and Joshua Jones were the only other Eastern players to reach double digits in points with 15 apiece. Daniel added five assists and four rebounds.
The Colonels (5-4) jumped out to a 16-5 lead in the first six minutes and led by double figures the rest of the way.
Transylvania 88, Franklin 63: Sophomore Brandon Rash scored a career-high 27 points, and the host Pioneers went on a 13-2 run to open the second half after leading by one after the first. Rash, a 6-foot-3 guard/forward out of Montgomery County, added seven rebounds and four steals for Transy (3-2, 1-1 Heartland Athletic Conference), which made 20 of its 27 shots after halftime.
Freshman Tate Cox, from Knott County Central, also had a career best with 13 points, including 9-for-9 free-throw shooting.
Western Kentucky 59, Bowling Green 52: Juan Pattillo scored 12 points and had 10 rebounds to lead WKU on the road. The Hilltoppers (4-5) led 28-20 at halftime and built their lead to 39-22 on Pattillo's layup with 14:19 remaining. The Falcons (1-7), however, cut it to 54-52 on Danny McElroy's layup with two minutes to play.
No. 3 Pittsburgh 70, Delaware St. 42: Reserve Dante Taylor scored a career-high 14 points and grabbed 10 rebounds for his first double-double to lead the host Panthers. Taylor played just 15 minutes, and J.J. Moore, another reserve, scored 10 points. Eleven players scored for Pitt, which outrebounded the Hornets 41-18.
Pittsburgh (10-0) has won 10 consecutive games to start the season for the seventh time in the past eight seasons.
No. 6 Connecticut 78, Fairleigh Dickinson 54: Kemba Walker scored 21 points to lead four Huskies in double figures at home. Walker came in leading the nation in scoring at more than 29 points a game, but UConn didn't need that many from him Wednesday.
Jeremy Lamb had 12 points, and fellow freshmen Roscoe Smith and Shabazz Napier had 10 points each.
Marquette: Senior forward Joseph Fulce has been diagnosed with a severe bone bruise after injuring his left knee Tuesday night. The school said Fulce is doubtful for Saturday's game against Wisconsin, and his future availability will be based on his response to treatment.
Transylvania 65, Franklin 64: Olivia Akridge nailed a jumper with 15 seconds left to give the Pioneers a win at home, snapping a two-game skid.
Holly Milburn, a senior out of Scott County, led Transy (4-3, 1-2 HCAC) with 18 points, and Akridge, a senior from Lyon County, added 15 points and six rebounds. The Pioneers led 63-56 with 6:05 to go before Franklin went on an 8-0 run.
Northern Kentucky 63, Tiffin 45: Casse Mogan had 18 points, five rebounds and four steals to lead the host Norse to their sixth straight win. Russell graduate Kelsey Simpson added 12 points for NKU (7-2), which shot 51.2 percent from the field..

Writing eBooks is an excellent strategy for people who are skilled writers and feel like they could do enough research to learn what is necessary to write a book on some topic. I wrote my first eBook about photography. I wasn’t a pro, but I really liked photography and thought I could at least share what I’d learned so far. It did so well that it is what motivated me to start a blog and work online.
But cutting costs only goes so far. Unless you already make a lot of money and spend like a bon vivant, most people can’t eke out that much more from their budget by decreasing expenses. Plus, the more you retrench, the more your quality of life suffers. (It’s all relative, though — certainly some overspenders could actually improve their lives by tempering their expenditures. Here are 101 ideas for saving money.)
For those with a large Twitter following, you can make money from your Tweets alone with Sponsored Tweets. You could be paid for sharing a business’s information, recommending restaurants or hotels, or tweeting pictures of you using or wearing products. As with all sponsored posts on social media, businesses will only be prepared to pay you to Tweet if you have a large following that you can influence. So work hard on building up a loyal fan base.
I surprisingly get a lot of people asking to detail their car. I never intend to make a business of it, but I love doing it to my cars and people ask me to do it to theirs. All it takes is a cheap orbital buffer (mines a used craftsman) and a shop vac. I normally get easily $100 for a basic wash/wax/vac, or $200 to remove scratches and polish then wax the car.
Obviously, these are much higher than you’re going to get with most other investments. What’s more is that you can choose a plan that matches your investment strategy, whether your goal is Supplemental Income, Balanced Investing, or Long-term Growth. You can also look at different real estate projects and choose for yourself which ones to invest in.
As for other tips, all I can say is “a penny saved is a penny earned”. If you are running out of ideas to make money, start saving. Some quick “low hanging fruit” tips to save some quick cash include – switch to MetroPCS or Boost for cellphone (I only pay $20/month), switch auto insurance to Insurance Panda ($25/month), and start using GasBuddy (saves me like $100/month at least. I drive a lot).
For example, if you register for free with Textbroker.com and submit a writing sample, you’ll receive a rating based on your content quality. Then you can choose which projects you want based on your quality rating and earn 0.7 cent to 5 cents per word, or more. FreelanceWriting.com provides a long list of freelance writing opportunities culled from several top sites. Many of the recent listings offered hourly rates of $25 or more. For $21 a month, you can join Mediabistro’s freelance marketplace to post your qualifications for review by media managers seeking writers.
But nowadays, there is so much opportunity if you search for brand-suitable domains and also keyword-rich or otherwise popular names on the myriad of new domain name extensions like .io, .at etc. And I should know, because I’ve paid several domain squatters a king’s ransom to purchase these sorts of domain names in the last few years! Continue reading >
There are a variety of tasks that you may be asked to perform. This can include delivering documents, delivering food or restaurant meals, taking pictures of a building for a real estate developer, taking pictures of a menu in an upscale restaurant, or even delivering auto-parts. If you have a good working car (or even a good bicycle), time on your hands, and a lot of energy, this can be a real opportunity to make money online.
I have six rental units which are a good source of passive income. I don’t use a property manager because you are right…they take about 10% of your rent. There are really only 2 things that tenants call about: 1. A plumbing issue 2. Heat/Air problems. Just find a plumber and heat/air guy you can trust. I travel a lot for my primary job. When a call comes in from a tenant, I can call the repair guy in just as easy as a property manager.
Run virtual errands. If you have a computer with Internet connection and are good at searching the Web and communicating with others, you can become a virtual personal assistant with Fancy Hands. The service hires assistants, who set their own hours, to help its users tackle tasks such as making calls to service providers, scheduling appointments, and finding the best prices for services and products. You get paid per task, starting at between $3 and $7.
Robo-advisors are diversified investment accounts that are automatically managed by a computer algorithm (as opposed to a human money manager). If you want to invest, but don’t have the money, or don’t want to invest with a money manager, robo-advisors are for you! Robo-advisors make investing easier—and cheaper—so they’re perfect for new investors.
