Two students. One is black and the other is white. On Tuesday, they both refuse to complete the math worksheet. On Wednesday, neither will stop talking during lessons.
Same behavior. Will they receive the same punishment?

Here’s a hit list of the top 10 home improvements you can do for $10,000 if you’re in your home and planning to stay put for a while.
For all the focus we put on transactions — buying and selling — the truth is that for most of your life as a real estate consumer, you’ll be a homeowner. And because your home is so much more than just something you buy, it makes sense to spend some portion of your time, energy, and money making it really work for you.
“The Vanguard Effect” has been cited in the media in both the United States and abroad to describe the tendency for investment providers to lower mutual fund and ETF expense ratios when Vanguard enters a new market. The positive result is, obviously, lower investment costs for investors. While flattering, I believe it may overlook a very important partner in this trend: advisors.After all, unless the benefits and value of low cost investing had been well understood by advisors, Vanguard funds and ETFs would not have likely found their way into investors’ portfolios in the first place. Hence, we also have “The Advisor Effect”—the growing tendency for financial intermediaries to invest their clients’ assets in low-cost products.
The Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) instrument aboard NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) images the solar atmosphere in multiple wavelengths to link changes in the surface to interior changes. Its data includes images of the sun in 10 wavelengths every 10 seconds. When AIA images are sharpened a bit, such as this AIA 171Å channel image, the magnetic field can be readily visualized through the bright, thin strands that are called “coronal loops”. Loops are shown here in a blended overlay with the magnetic field as measured with SDO’s Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager underneath. Blue and yellow represent the opposite polarities of the magnetic field. The combined images were taken on Oct. 24, 2014, at 23:50:37 UT.
