Older investors are a favorite target of fraudsters who focus on investments. The pursuit of seniors’ “nest eggs” is one of the fastest-growing consumer fraud issues today.
Allowing your finances to get away from you is sadly a common affliction among Americans and a real problem in today's modern world.
"Oriental" fell out of favour sometime in the 80's if I recall correctly.

It's a mystery to me as to why though because the words "oriental" and "asian" are both words that just describe a geographical location.  

Asia refers to "the continent" and Oriental is latin for "east".  (btw, the latin for west is "occidental").

So Chinese/Japanese/Korean people, or more likely someone in North America speaking on their behalf, have decided that  one geographical description is okay for them but another is not.

I've always failed to see the negative association of the word oriental.  In my life, I've never heard the word used disparagingly.   i.e. it's not a moniker that I'd think needed to shaken off.  

(As opposed to say "coloured" or "black" being replaced by "African".  I can see that.  I would suspect that some folks would NOT want to be generally described by their skin colour, but more by their ancestry.  So i can see why an African American would prefer that description over "black")

So somewhere along the line, "oriental" got a bad connotation attached to it I suppose.  I certainly don't remember it.  Maybe someone who knows the story  can explain it.  But replacing one geographical description with another doesn't seem really make that much difference.  

I'm trying to think if this is the same as someone saying "Don't call me a Texan, call me North American".Clip Latch USGI Used, Nice!

Long may this speed last!(ANSAmed) - TUNIS, SEPTEMBER 23 - The Tunisian Forum for Economic and Social Rights (FTDES) has asked the country's parliament to request that the government be called upon to speak in the assembly on "tools for cooperation with the European Union and Italy on migration issues, urging them to examine and adopt the national strategy on migration". FTDES said in a missive that it holds the country's president "politically, morally, and constitutionally if the same foreign policy characterised by the unilateral European and Italian vision were to continue in dealing with the issues of undocumented migration''. The Tunisian NGO affirmed in a statement its "commitment to equitable bilateral cooperation respecting rights", calling for "transparency in talks and that the national public opinion be informed about details (of these talks), reiterating a refusal of the forced expulsions of migrants and security approaches adopted to deal with the phenomenon, noting the frequent reports in Italian media of a new Tunisian-Italian agreement on undocumented migration and Tunisia's approval for the doubling of deportations". FTDES added that ''this agreement reportedly received its first approval during the visit by Interior Minister Luciana Lamorgese to Tunisia on July 27. This approval by the Tunisian side was reportedly reaffirmed during the visit by the Italian-European delegation on August 17, according to Italian media.'' Some 3,164 undocumented Tunisian migrants arrived in Europe in 2019 compared with 5,744 in 2018, FTDES said. (ANSAmed). (ANSA).In case you had doubts that Jerry Dipoto wanted to avoid another Mike Scioscia situation, the Mariners filled their managerial opening after two long, trying weeks by hiring one of Dipoto's former top assistants. What's more is rumor has it that another one of Dipoto's former charges (Tim Bogar) will be named bench coach in the coming days. Who needs qualifications when you have friends?
It used to be that every new manager was a former catcher. These days, every new manager seems to be, well, literally a new manager. Servais checks both boxes. He caught for parts of 11 big-league seasons, and since retiring has served in various roles on the player-development side. He's never managed at any level for any length of time—save for, perhaps, in his dreams.
Whether that qualifies Servais to lead a team is anyone's guess. What Servais is qualified to do is work alongside Dipoto. The pair have been friendly for two decades, dating back to their playing days. When Dipoto praised Servais' communication skills in the team-issued press release, you get the sense he wasn't just talking about manager-to-player. The line of communication between front office and dugout is important, of course—Dipoto learned this the hard way when he inherited the last remaining manager king in Anaheim—and Seattle should shine in that regard. But what about everything else?
Servais' tactical chops and ability to handle veteran players are unknowns. The prevailing theory about the league's fixation with virginal managers is that they lack the power to tell the front office to mind its own business when it comes to strategy. Presumably, Dipoto and his analytical bent will be apparent in what Servais does from seven to 10 most nights. Outside of those hours, Servais will have to learn how to communicate and motivate established players making a good deal more money than he does. Remember, Servais is accustomed to working with draftees and prospects, not millionaires.
On the one hand, you have to appreciate how the Mariners are trying something new given their past failings with managers. Outside of Darrell Johnson—Seattle's original manager—the one other Seattle skipper to last more than three seasons at the helm has been Lou Piniella. And since Piniella left after the 2002 season, the Mariners have gone through six full-time skippers—Lloyd McClendon, who was dismissed to make way for Servais, is the only one to have finished his tenure with a winning record. On the other hand, hiring Servais after two weeks makes Seattle's interview process look like a sham.
More importantly, if the Dodgers (Gabe Kapler), Nationals (Bud Black), and Marlins (Don Mattingly) each hire their presumed top target, then the league could well enter next season with one minority manager. (Two at most, depending on who the Padres hire.) Isn't it curious how the same candidates who used to get passed over due to their lack of experience are now getting passed over in an era where most of the new skippers have even less experience than they did? It's also unacceptable.
