Tavis got with the program and started to research funds and built an investment plan. That he got rid of his dud funds and really started to pay attention to what matters. That Tavis feels like he is on track now and anyone can get on track with the use on the seven tips.
Tip number one was to dump the slackers. Treat a bad fund like a bad relationship out of there without looking back. Identifying the bad fund may take a little work. A way to find the bad fund would be to see how long they have been in a bad patch. If a fund is in a bad patch and it becomes their way of life, it is time to get out of that fund. The article gives a website to visit to see funds that preform relative to others that invest similarly. Then the article gives examples of funds that have lost their way. Tip two was learning to love consistency which means to find funds that consistently produce above-average results and there are some funds listed.

    As of now, those who don’t opt in for organ donation are presumed to not want to donate. “Presume content” is the name of the new proposal to change the original system. This policy would change the assumption to that people do prefer to donate their organs. Cohen explains that presumed consent would increase organ donation and claims that it would make fewer mistake. Veatch and Pitt claim that it is morally unacceptable because it violates a person’s autonomy.…

    In Godzilla’s Footprint, author Steve Ryfle begins by stating that the film Godzilla was not released to the Unites States until 2004, fifty years after the original release in Japan. Ryfle goes on to quote critics that were flabbergasted by the contrast of two films - the original Japanese film with its primitive special effects and recollection of the horrific aftermath of the atomic bombings, versus the re-cut, copy and pasted version showed to the United states as a monster-mash entertainment film.…

    The article “Why Clingy People Feel Colder” by Maia Szalavitz focuses on how different people perceive temperature in certain situations. A group of volunteers were gathered and asked to complete an attachment style test to evaluate their level of clinginess before they could participate in the study. After these volunteers were tested they were either asked to think about a previous split between romantic partners or an unemotional ordinary event. With their memory in mind, the participants then filled out a survey form on the desirability of certain foods and drinks. These items could be warm such as coffee, tea, or soup, but also neutral in temperature like candy or crackers. The researchers found that the highly anxious participants had a clear desire for the hotter foods while there was no…

    Summary Essay

    In Gwen Wilde’s essay, “Why the Pledge Should be Revised,” Wilde strongly believes that the Pledge of Allegiance should only be used for the sole purpose of patriotism. Included in her essay were many facts of the original pledge. She states that the first “original” pledge, which was issued in 1892, read as such, “I pledge allegiance to my flag, and to the republic for which it stands: one nation indivisible, with Liberty and justice for all.” She then included in her essay that in 1923, “my flag” was change to “the flag of the United States,” for immigrant purposes, as a way to show patriotism to the United States. Wilde then included that in 1954, the words “under god,” were included.…

    Op-Ed Summary

    The Op-Ed piece, “Don’t Blame the Eater,” by David Zinczenko talks about the issue of obesity in America and whose fault it really is, the eater or the people providing the food. His claim on the subject is that it is the industries fault for the obesity in America and not the peoples fault because finding an alternative to eating cheap food on the go is nearly impossible. He makes an example of himself right in the third paragraph, explaining how his mom had to work long hours to pay the bills and his choices for food were pizza hut or KFC because that was the only affordable choice for him. He also employs a lot of logos in the following paragraphs by mentioning statistics on the matter of diabetes, and the amount of money put into treating it as the years progress. Shooting down opposing arguments also plays a factor in Zinczenko’s essay when he asks the reader “shouldn’t we know better than to eat two meals a day in fast-food restaurants?” He states that this is one argument, but then makes the point of where are consumers, particularly teenagers, supposed to find alternatives. He also introduces the concept of not knowing any information on the food that we are consuming, and the misleading advertising in fast food products where certain “healthy foods” are really just masked by misleading serving sizes and lack of dressing and noodles and almonds for say a healthy salad. I believe he sums up his essay by saying that the companies should be sued for not having these warning labels the same way tobacco companies are. Overall it is their fault and not as ridiculous as it seems.…

    Washington Post Summary

    This article from the Washington Post discusses how the job market for people over fifty-five year olds “has not improved for this set of people.” For older people who have been laid off, but are not quite ready to retire are having difficulty finding jobs. The Author of the article Rodney Brooks points out that “even for a much lower-paying job” middle aged people would “be competing with people half [their] age.” People want to work later in life because they probably have not saved as much money as they would have liked. The article says that “fifty-seven percent of retirees reported having less than $25,000 in savings and investments, not counting their homes or traditional pensions.” However, people struggle with finding jobs or keeping…

    The article titled “Emerging Adults’ Use of Relational Maintenance Behaviors with Their Parents,” conducted by Scott A. Myers and Natica P. Glover raised the question, “To what extent do emerging adults report using relational maintenance behaviors with their parents?” (p.258) Although before going through with their experiment, they predicted that among emerging adults, the use of relational maintenance behaviors would be related directly with perceived commitment, trust, and control mutuality with their parents (p.259). Myers and Glover found it interesting that individuals emerge into adults between the ages of 18 to 25 years, and at that time the parent-child relationship starts to fade and grow stronger in certain ways. “Perhaps the most intimate and enduring relationship in which an individual engages is the parent-child relationship…identifying the extent to which emerging adults attempts to maintain their relationships with their parents is warranted” (p.257).…

    article summary

    The chemical that spilled into the waters in West Virginia is called methyl cyclohexane methanol or MCHM for short. The chemical is used to clean coal and helps separate the burnable fossil fuel from the unburnable rock and dirt and other contaminations. Because of the spill, 300,000 people can’t drink, cook, shower, or do anything involving water and it touching your body. The people of West Virginia have been living off bottled water for everything they do. The schools were closed along with some work offices. It has been said that MCMH should not be swallowed and may readily cause skin and eye irritation but it is not known to pose major risks to human health and safety. Some of the West Virginia citizens stated it smelled like a type of licorice. MCMH can burn but only when concentrated and at relatively high temperatures above 112 degrees Celsius, but it is not explosive or corrosive. "We may not have the information to know whether it's really safe for the general population," including children, the elderly, the sick or pregnant women, says chemist Richard Sachleben, who works in pharmaceutical research and development. He adds that shutting everything down was the best possible thing to do. This substance is the safest of the others and is also far less dangerous than some other industrial solvents (PCBs for example), byproducts (such as dioxin) and other liquid industrial spills (fly ash slurries). Americans are exposed to more industrial chemicals every day that pose far more risk. Scientist Halden states that the spill is similar to a gasoline spill and that it shouldn’t be a long term concern to citizens.…
