When Jim Weddle took over as Managing Partner of Edward Jones in January 2006, the brokerage firm was at a critical juncture. The firm's distinctive strategy had enabled it to grow from its roots in small-town America to become the 4th largest broker in the U.S. Weddle was concerned, however, that the firm's success, and the changing landscape of the financial services industry, were challenging the core aspects of the strategy that had brought the firm so far. He knew that the impending strategic decisions would determine whether Edward Jones could sustain its extraordinary performance and achieve its goal of growing to 20,000 financial advisors by 2017.

English Premier League Week 12 Game Predictions, Tips and Bets
16Nov2012 Goalauthor0comments
There are some tantalising matchups this week beginning with the London derby between arch enemies Tottenham and Arsenal. Can Spurs get revenge for the come from behind thumping they received last season? Or will the Gunners continue their winning ways over Spurs? We also have the West Brom V Chelsea game to look forward to with both teams very impressive this far into the season. Will we see a wonder goal this weekend much like Ibrahimovic's wonder bicycle kick against England? It's certainly moments like those that keep us all on the edge of our seats and in awe of the talent in football.
Best Value bet: Everton looks good value at $1.87 and a safe option for a multi. West Ham is also good value at $2.1 to beat Stoke at home
Arsenal ($1.97) Versus Tottenham ($4.2), Draw ($3.85)
The derby between these two sides is always must watch game for any Arsenal or Tottenham fan. Last season the spoils were shared with both sides registering a win, however Arsenal will be feeling far more confident from their 5-2 come from behind win to break the hearts of all Tottenham fans. Arsenal have only won 2 of their past 6 whilst Spurs are sitting slightly better winning 3 of their last 6 but coming off two losses and the injury list growing, this could be another tough game for Spurs fans. Tottenham were admirable against Manchester City without being brilliant in their 2-1 loss. It's clear the loss of Dembele due to injury from midfield has had an impact with a clear lack of creativity and passing flair. For the Gunners, new signing Giroud has stepped up after a slow start to his Arsenal career – he now has 4 goals in as many games. Arsenal was unlucky to not snatch the 3 points over Fulham last week due to Schwarzer's fine penalty save in the final minutes. Spur's best hopes here will be for a draw with Arsenal likely to snatch the win, though not convincingly as Spurs generally travel well. Look for Defoe to return to the starting line-up – he could be pivotal to Spurs chances.
Predicted Result: Draw 2-2
Confidence: 70%
Betting Option: Over 2.5 goals at $1.66 – Last 10 games between these sides have seen an average of 4.5 goals scored per game. Over 3.5 goals at $2.60 is also tempting.
Liverpool ($1.49) Versus Wigan ($8), Draw ($4.8)
Liverpool haven't set the world alight this season but it must be noted that they are undefeated in their past 6 league games which is impressive given their poor start to the year. As they host Wigan they will be wary of their recent strong form with wins over Spurs and West Ham and a close loss to West Brom due to an own goal. With Suarez in fine form of late, he'll cause plenty of problems for the Wigan defence and with 3 goals in his last 3 league games he's not short on confidence. Wigan will take confidence from their last visit to Anfield when they got the 3 points with a 2-1 win. Given this was their only win at Anfield, Liverpool should be able to get over the line in this one in what should be a close encounter with Wigan them all the way. Look for Raheem Sterling to be bursting with confidence after his debut for England against Sweeden this week.
Predicted Result: Liverpool 1-0
Betting Option: Liverpool to win at $1.49.
Manchester City ($1.22) Versus Aston Villa ($17), Draw ($7.6)
Manchester City sure do know how to get a win from behind largely thanks to super sub Dzeko. Hosting the admirable Aston Villa who were unlucky to not get the 3 points over Manchester United, City look to be far too strong for Villa in this one. City is also the only undefeated team in the Premier league so far with 7 wins and 4 draws. Villa are at the opposite end with only 2 wins this season and are now looking destined to be in a relegation battle if they don't improve quickly. City have won their past 5 at home to Villa with their most recent encounter ending 4-1. This is perhaps a game where City may have the opportunity to break the shackles in terms of scoring. Villa will certainly create chances here but will struggle to topple the Champions.
Predicted Result: City 3-1
Betting Option: Over 2.5 goals at $1.48 looks better value than the City win at $1.22
Newcastle United ($1.97) Versus Swansea ($4.3), Draw ($3.7)
Newcastle has been poor recently. With the amount of talent and attacking options they have they should be getting better results. They host a Swansea side that has been relatively poor away from home after their superb start to the season. Both sides have only 1 win in their last 6 with that win coming at home so they are clearly struggling to find that killer instinct. Swansea managed a draw here against Newcastle last season and would be hoping for a similar result here. Given that both of these sides are better when playing at home and Swansea poor away from home, Newcastle should have the edge here. It'll be a tight contest with probably the one goal to a get a result here. Demba Ba should be in fine form again here.
Predicted Result: Newcastle 1-0
Betting Option: Lay Swansea at $4.3
QPR ($2) Versus Southampton ($4.1), Draw ($3.75)
Is this the moment? Is it? Will QPR finally get that elusive first win this season? And the final question – Will Hughes be sacked if QPR fail to win? We sure think so. As a result, QPR should come out firing to support their manager. With Southampton yet to get a win away from home their chances here rely on QPR continuing their horror run in front of goal at home – QPR have only scored 3 goals at home which is appalling. Equally appalling is Southampton's record in front of goal away from home with 5 goals. Given that both sides have conceded the most goals in the Premier league (QPR 20, Southampton 29) we could see a very open game here with both teams attacking. Taking into account that Southampton has also conceded 18 goals in away games, we should finally see a QPR win here.
Predicted Result: QPR 2-1
Betting Option: None
Reading ($4.6) Versus Everton ($1.87), Draw ($3.9)
Reading hosts a strong Everton side that is sitting 4th on the table and are not looking to slow down anytime soon. Everton were back on the winner's list last week after 4 consecutive Premier league draws. Fellaini was in fine form for Everton against Sunderland with a goal whilst imposing himself in midfield. Look for him to be just as dominant if not more so against Reading. Reading has been admirable in their past 6 matches with 5 draws though they are still searching for that elusive first win. Everton will be clearly too strong in this one and look a very good option to have in a multi this week.
Predicted Result: Everton 2-0
Betting Option: Everton to win at $1.87
West Brom ($4) Versus Chelsea ($2.02), Draw ($3.75)
West Brom are such an impressive unit this season that it makes this matchup against Chelsea or the more difficult to predict. Coming off two wins compared to Chelsea coming off two lacklustre draws it's looking like Chelsea have hit that pre-Christmas rut that some teams tend to get into after strong starts to the season. West Brom has only lost once at home in 6 games having also conceded only 4 goals (5 wins) which will be surely in Chelsea's thought processes as they build to this game. Interestingly the last game here at the Hawthorns resulted in a 1-0 win to West Brom which will add to their confidence. Chelsea will be relying on their attacking trio of Hazard, Mata and Oscar to fire them to victory in this one, but against a stubborn and organised defensive unit they will have a tough time. Odemwingie is in fine form and if he continues his run he could cause Chelsea's Terry-less defence some concern. It's also a good sign to see the goal scoring load being shared at WBA with Lukaku, Morrison, Long and Odemwingie all contributing 3 goals thus far which highlights their attacking depth. A tough one to call, we feel this one is headed for a draw.
Betting Option: Over 2.5 goals at $1.76 – Though Chelsea looks good value at $2.02, they were similar odds last week versus Liverpool who have been much poorer than WBA.
Norwich ($8) Versus Manchester United ($1.48), Draw ($4.8)
Norwich entertains Manchester United this week and will be hoping to emulate Aston Villa's strong start against United last week. United will see this game as a great opportunity to maintain their lead at the top of the table. They have somewhat flown under the radar a little this season given their injuries to their defence and the minnow sides that have caused them plenty of concern to go with it. Having only lost once at Home Norwich will be relatively confident as always, but after seeing Villa drop a 2-0 lead to lose 3-2 thanks to super sub Hernandez, there will be doubt in their minds. It's hard to see Norwich troubling United too much in this one with Manchester United winning comfortably to add to their current 5 game winning streak. It's also hard to ignore United's 15 goals in their past 5 games.
Predicted Result: Manchester United to win 3-0
Betting Option: Manchester United to win at $1.48
Fulham ($1.77) Versus Sunderland ($5.3), Draw ($3.95)
Fulham are coming off an inspiring draw against Arsenal and will look to consolidate that inspiration with a win here against Sunderland. It's safe to say Sunderland is struggling – 2 goals in their past 5 games to go with 3 losses and two draws are not the results they would have wanted. As a comparison, Fulham have scored 10 goals in their past 5 and are undefeated (4 draws, 1 win). Berbatov will be the key here. Since his move from Manchester United, he has 7 goals of which 2 came in last week's game against Arsenal so he's definitely looking in good touch at the moment. Yet to win a game away from home and languishing near the bottom of the table it looks like for this week at least they'll be staying there.
Predicted Result: Fulham 2-0
Betting Option: Fulham to win at $1.76
West Ham ($2.1) Versus Stoke ($4.1), Draw ($3.45)
West Ham will be flying after their strong performance that saw them win away at Newcastle last week. Hosting Stoke however will be another tough task as they have conceded the equal least amount of goals this season (10) – Interestingly though, 9 of these goals have been conceded in away games. Kevin Nolan is in cracking form for West Ham this season and the midfielder has already scored 5. The last time these two played at Upton Park, West Ham ran away 3-0 winners, and although Stoke overall have been strong defensively it's not out of the question for West Ham to score a couple here. Look for West Ham to attack from the outset with Stoke looking for the counter attack. Once West Ham gets on the board, expect them to get the 3 points from there.
Predicted Result: West Ham 2-0
Betting Option: West Ham to win at $2.1 – looks good value here.
As an Australian growing up AFL was always my no.1 sport especially given I was lucky enough to grow up a few blocks from Carlton's home ground, Princes Park, where I was lucky enough to attend many games. That's where my passion for sport began but it was until the early 2000's when I discovered a real passion for football with the Socceroos 2002 World Cup qualifiers against Uruguay accelerating my football journey. From there I began to follow the Premier League and haven't looked back since. These days I'm a massive Tottenham fan where I've enjoyed many sleepless nights religiously watching them without missing a game despite many roller coaster feelings. There's just something magical and glamorous when you watch the EPL and knowing the Profits owners Drew and Euan through studies, I'm now lucky enough to be able to share my thoughts on each game each week of the season.

Christmas should be a time for mince pies, warm fires, and family fun, but in this modern world, the most exciting thing about Christmas for some people is upgrading their tech. One of the most popular gifts to give at Christmas time is a new smartphone, and this is a great idea for children and adults alike.
If you're someone who doesn't know an iPhone from a Samsung, then buying the perfect gift can be hard but you don't need to worry, because we've done the hard work for you. Let's take a look at the best gifts to buy for the smartphone addicts in your family this Christmas.
If your loved one has just received an expensive new phone for Christmas you can be sure that they will want to protect it from damage anyway that they can. Although a phone case may seem like an inexpensive and thoughtless present, you would be surprised at how much thought you can actually put into choosing the right case. There are lots of different types available, some with backlights for taking photos, some that have a ring on that makes them perfect for selfie-takers and some which are super durable for the clumsiest among us.
Headphones are always a great gift that are well received and you can really tailor them to any budget. If you have loved ones who love their music then you could try a high-quality pair of full headphones which they can use around the house. If your loved one uses their headphones on the go, then a smaller pair of earbuds might be better suited. Pro Tip: Be sure that the person your buying for has a phone with a headphone jack, if not, you may have to opt for wireless headphones.
One of the biggest drawbacks with modern phones is battery life and smartphone lovers tend to be the people that are most affected by this. For someone who is addicted to their phone, there is no better gift to give than battery life. With a portable power bank, your loved ones can recharge their phones on the go and make sure that they never miss a Facebook update or an Instagram post.
Mobile VR is still in its infancy, but it's becoming more popular, and better. Devices like the Samsung Gear for are extremely popular for Samsung users and give access to over 800 VR apps. If your loved one loves VR and likes playing games and watching movies using their phone, this could be the perfect gift. Whilst devices like the Samsung Gear don't come cheap, there are mobile VR devices at a range of different price points.
If you or someone you know has spent hundreds of dollars on the latest smartphone, the worst fate imaginable is them losing it. The good news is, you can ensure they always know where their beloved phone is by treating them to a tracker this Christmas. Trackers like the TrackR Pixel are an affordable gift which can be attached to a smartphone case. The device works via Bluetooth and can help users to track down the location of the phone and it can even make the phone ring when on silent mode.
For extreme phone addicts, putting down their smartphone when they are driving is a hard task, but you can help keep them safe this Christmas by decking their cars with smartphone accessories. Accessories like car phone mounts and chargers are a smartphone lovers best friend, as it means they can stay connected whilst on the road without sacrificing their road safety.
It can be really hard to get smartphone lovers gifts because it often seems like they don't do anything but play on their phone, but the truth is that they probably spend a lot of money on the various apps that they use on a daily basis. Whilst some people feel it's impersonal to give cash for Christmas, vouchers are a more acceptable present. It's easy to find vouchers for all the major app stores, but be sure to find out which operating systems your loved ones are using, to avoid any disappointment on Christmas day.
This gift is perfect for the selfie kings and queens among us. With the growth of social media platforms like Instagram, a lot of different products have become available to help us to capture the perfect snap. One of the better products is the detachable lens for smartphone cameras. Popular models such as the Moment Tele Lens make a great mid-range gift for Christmas and are sure to be a hit with young social media moguls.
These are gifts that are more exciting for the younger generation of smartphone lovers and are sure to sufficiently annoy everyone on Christmas day. There's a good selection of robots available that link up and can be controlled using a smartphone. Popular models include tanks, planes and the Sphero BB-8 for the star wars lovers.
This is the perfect gift for smartphone lovers who enjoy a good party. Bluetooth speakers link to smartphones easily and can provide a great backing track to any event. You may find that you're Christmas day is overrun with cheesy Christmas tunes if you buy this as a gift, but they are sure to be a hit with the music lovers in your family.

These Photos Of Meghan Markle On Anzac Day Are So, So Emotional
While we were all still probably sleeping, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry commemorated Anzac Day in London. It's one of Australia's most important national occasions, as it marks the anniversary of the first major military action fought by Australian and New Zealand troops during the first World War. The couple paid tribute to the servicemen and women at a dawn service, where Harry placed a wreath along with a handwritten note that read, "In loving memory of those who made the ultimate sacrifice and the many whose lives have changed forever." It was such a moving tribute, and the photos of Meghan Markle on Anzac Day are so, so emotional.
After arriving at Hyde Park Corner, the pair visited the Australian War Memorial, where they spoke with New Zealand's High Commissioner Sir Jerry Mateparae, who talked Markle through the Maori elements of the service, so she understood their importance and significance. "It's her first Anzac service, so we were explaining what it meant to us," he explained to The Telegraph. The pair also took part in a ceremony at Wellington Arch. Young school children read prayers during the service and the Last Post was sounded by a bugler, before everyone took part in a moment of silence. A somber-looked Markle appeared to be close to tears.
"The thing that was special in a way was the prayers led by the children," Mateparae said. "And certainly Prince Harry and Ms. Markle were impressed by the young people and the confidence of their delivery but also the way they conducted themselves."
Later, the couple attended another service at Westminster Abbey, where they were also joined by the Duke of Cambridge, who just welcomed his third child with Kate Middleton — a baby boy! — on April 23.
Prince William is reportedly taking a few weeks off from his official royal duties now his son has arrived. Kensington Palace announced that Middleton had gone into labor early in the morning of April 23, saying she and Prince William had arrived at St. Mary's Hospital in London. Baby number three arrived just a few hours later, and the news was officially announced on the steps of the Lindo Wing of St. Mary's by a Town Crier. Kensington Palace also shared the news of the birth on Twitter.
"Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Cambridge was safely delivered of a son at 1101hrs," the tweet read. "The baby weighs 8 lbs 7 oz. The Duke of Cambridge was present for the birth. Her Royal Highness and her child are both doing well."
At Westminster Abbey, Markle greeted the dad of three with a formal kiss on the cheek as he arrived for the service. The three then joined the congregation as the Very Reverend Dr. John Hall, Dean of Westminster, paid tribute to the thousands of soldiers from Australia and New Zealand who lost their lives in the First World War.

"The landing of allied forces at Gallipoli on 25th April 1915 led to one of the bloodiest battles of the First World War," he said. "Australian and New Zealand forces joined together for the first time, and a new word entered the language: Anzac."
"Remembering that so many died, we honour the bravery and determination of the men at Gallipoli," the Reverend continued. "We are warned that war involves suffering and death; we are encouraged by the spirit of national pride shown by the soldiers we remember this Anzac Day. As the Union Flag and the flags of Australia and New Zealand are presented at the High Altar with the flag of Turkey in a sign of the reconciliation of old enemies, let us renew our own commitment to the causes of justice and peace throughout the world."

November 17, 2018 A Work of Fiction
I was sitting on the bench eating a Gator-Burger, when a man from the Fish and Game came up to me. "You eating a Gator-Burger?"
I said, "Yes sir."
He said, "Where did you get it?"
I said, "Over at Ollie's Gator-Burgers." Any fool could see that. The wrapper said "Ollie's Gator-Burgers," plain as day. Well, him and another Fish and Game went off to Ollie's. I followed right along. There ain't much happening in town and this looked like excitement.
They went in and ordered Gator-Burgers and fries. Ollie cooked them up and brung them over. They pulled a plastic box out of a bag, put the Gator-Burgers in, and snapped a lid on. Then they say, "You're under arrest for cooking an endangered species, and this is evidence."
Ollie's jaw dropped open. He said, "I didn't cook no endangered nothing. I cooked Gator-Burgers!"
They said; "Gators is now on the endangered list, and you cooked em. We're taking you in."
Ollie said "I can't leave the place open like this!"
They said, "We don't care, you're coming with us."
Ollie takes out his keys and throws them at me. "Here, you take care of the place, while I'm gone," and off they go. I'm just a 16 year old kid, but I was the only one there. He didn't have much of a choice.
I sat for a while wondering what to do, when a customer came in.
"Where's Ollie?"
I said, "Ollie's not here."
"Well, I want a Gator Burger and coffee."
I said, "OK", and went behind the counter.
You'd never know it, but it's a whole different world, behind the counter. I mean, from the front all you see is the ketchup, sugar, salt, and pepper. But on the back side, there are plates, cups and saucers, silverware, glasses, napkins, and everything.
I had watched Ollie cook, so I knew what to do. Under the grill, was a drawer with Gator-Burger patties, and buns. I put one on the grill, and got him coffee. I flipped the patty and opened a bun and put it face down to warm. There was a cold drawer next to the grill, with tomatoes, lettuce, and dressing. I put the bun on a plate, added, lettuce, tomato and dressing, then the patty, and served it up.
He ate it, without complaint. The burger was $1.25, the coffee, $.75. I rang up $2.00, and put it in the till. He gave me $.25 tip. I put that in my pocket. I spent all day cooking Gator-Burgers and serving coffee.
It was summer and school was out, or I'd be up the creek. I was tall for my age, and people just accepted me.
I got home about 9:30. Ma said, "Where you been all day?"
I said, "You'll read about it in the morning papers."
Well, you sure did. There was not much news in town, and this was big stuff. There were big headlines in the papers:
'OLLIE ARRESTED FOR KILLIN AND GRILLIN'
'GATOR GRINDER GETS NABBED.'
Then there were stories about the 'Plucky youth who was taking over during Ollie's absence'
Well, the next day was hell. Everybody came in for the last of the Gator-Burgers. We ran out, but a restaurant supply truck came by with regular burgers, and saved me. I made up a big sign:
'WE CANT SELL GATORS NO MORE, BUT OLLIE'S STILL GOT THE BEST BURGERS IN TOWN'.
People just kept coming in. Gator, or no Gator. We kept the "OLLIE'S GATOR-BURGER" sign, cause that was the name of the place. Ollie got two years, I got made a partner. I dropped out of school, and made more money than anybody.
That just goes to show you that crime pays, sometimes very well.

Chemistry is truly the central science.
Within the broad field of chemistry, you'll find ways to apply math, physics, engineering, biology, and technology. Chemistry is a discipline that explains, at the most fundamental level, the true composition of the world around us, why things change, and how changes occur. Since the days of Aristotle, mankind has been attempting to master these concepts, and through chemistry, we've had amazing discoveries and insights into a world that's hidden to our naked eye.
In our curriculum, we focus on both the conceptual understanding of matter and its changes as well as the quantitative aspects of predicting and measuring these properties. We offer programs in traditional chemistry, pre-medical, and pre-pharmacy studies. We also offer dual degree programs with chemical engineering and biology. Our program provides flexibility and selection to meet individual student needs and aspirations.
We are proud to be an American Chemical Society (ACS) certified department. This certification ensures that you will receive a fundamental and professionally recognized chemical education, which is an excellent preparation for a plethora of careers, as well as for graduate or professional schools. Our graduates have successfully completed rigorous course requirements as well as earned vital research experience.

Here's the thing though: They don't need to be role-models for your daughters at all.
To some extent that's up to you. You already know the actresses are too thin. That's unlikely to have suddenly changed since last year. You know that it's a world (the world of Hollywood and the red carpet, not of all filmmaking of course) which is obsessed with a very specific definition of beauty, of which thinness is a central tenant. And you should surely realise that by making a big deal about it, getting excited, having a night in with your daughters and ooing and ahhing over the red carpet you are communicating to them that this is what really matters. That this red carpet celebrity is the highest order of achievement in our society. That being young and beautiful (and, yes, thin) is a critical component in making it in life.
I don't mean to get all judgey here. We all have our vices and our distractions. I love sport and will no-doubt end up transferring a sense of disproportionate importance over it to my son, but at least sport has an active component of doing, of running around and being part of a team, even if the sportspeople you see on TV are not good role-models in other ways.
But celebrity culture is a cancer, distracting us from things that really matter by making us care about lives barely glimpsed or understood. Not the art produced by these stars, but the aura of stardom itself. The phenomenon of people being "famous for being famous", of reality TV devoid of real skills (not competitions like Masterchef but voyeuristic exercises like Jersey Shore or Big Brother) and magazines devoted to the practice of harassment and embellishment, practices you implicitly endorse when you purchase Hello or OK! Or any other celebrity gossip magazines. And most concerningly it manifests in the increasing number of children who, growing up, aspire simply to be "famous." Not to achieve anything in particular, not even to be rich, which might imply success in a specific industry such as music or films, but, simply, look-at-me, know-my-name fame as an end in itself. And because kids aren't idiots they understand that there's a strong correlation between fame and looks.
So if you don't want your daughters to embrace red-carpet walking super-skinny female actresses as their role-mode then maybe skip the pre-Oscars show. Watch the ceremony, which is at least about artistic output, but skip the bit that is purely and simply about how people look and what they're wearing. Because your daughters deserve to know that success is about what you produce and the meaning you create, not just your waistline and hair. Our fame-obsessed society will push their values at them no matter what you do, but it's you inviting it into your living room and communicating to your children that this is what matters.
And if this all seems a bit over-the-top for a light-hearted bit of family evening entertainment, that's fair enough. I know you work hard and you deserve to switch off a bit and enjoy a spectacle with your family. I totally get that. But accept that it's not about role-models. Don't blame the stars, they're just doing what they've got to do to succeed in a system we all contribute to. Find great role-models for your daughters in other places, in changemakers, entrepreneurs, scientists or athletes.
