Journey To The Music: Tips For Music Festival Travel (NAPSA)—In the U.S. alone, there are now more than 800 music festivals an- nually, and according to Nielsen, 32 million people go to at least one of these fes- tivals a year, traveling an av- erage 903 miles to get there. If you’re one of these travel- ers, you know how reward- ing and exhilarating it is to see some of your favorite bands beside a few hundred thousand fellow fans. If not, you may want to consider these cool benefi ts of festival travel. Explore a new destina- tion in a unique way. When you visit a destination during a festival, you’ll see a com- pletely different side of the local culture than you would normally. At High Water Mu- sic Festival in Charleston, South Carolina, for example, they celebrate the best of Southern cuisine with local chefs collaborating on their favorite dishes for a unique, family-style dining experi- ence. Not only do you get to see the best in Southern mu- sic, but you get to eat some of the best Southern cooking, too. So much music in one N eed L ooking There are many ways you can enhance your experience when you visit a music festival— and some of them may surprise you. place. Though the price of tickets ranges dramatically, with dozens of bands play- ing, you’re more than likely to get your money’s worth by seeing a few of your fa- vorite artists. Festival go- ers also get to discover new and upcoming artists they’d have never heard before. At Hangout Music Festival in Gulf Shores, Alabama, music ranges from folk to country to rap to pop, with more than 60 bands scheduled to play over the span of three days. Talk about an eclectic mix of music. A group experience. Music festivals typically serve up something for ev- eryone, which makes it an excellent activity for a group trip. On top of the camara- derie, you’ll also be able to split costs. One way to save is to stay in a vacation rental home with a company such as Wyndham Vacation Rent- als. With amenities that typi- cally include multiple bed- rooms, bathrooms, a kitchen, a washer/dryer and more, you’ll get way more than you would by camping out on the festival grounds. It’s not all about the music. Music festivals are not just about the music any- more. They are platforms for philanthropy, sustainability, fashion and healthy living. Coachella has been inform- ing fashion trends and re- tailers over the past several years and always includes some type of sustainability and charitable component for guests to be a part of making a difference in the commu- nity.

CCB#203797 999 ✦ PUBLIC NOTICE (NAPSA)—Nobody has a secret formula for successfully investing in real estate, but brushing up on your fi nancial literacy, digging deep into market dynamics, understanding property-specifi c costs and turning to today’s access to unprecedented data and technology can lead to more-informed buying decisions. Here are fi ve tips that can help: • Rule number one when looking at a property online. Figure out how the prop- erty performs today as an investment. You shouldn’t assume any type of appreciation, speculation or reduction in expenses over time. “What you’re buying today is what you’re going to live with because no one knows what tomorrow will hold for your property. Most savvy investors do not specu- late on what a property might become,” said Dennis Cisterna, CRO of Investability Real Estate, Inc. • A big line item is price. A lot of online marketplaces will factor price appreciation into their analysis. Often, this can be mis- leading because you don’t always have the knowledge to know whether a market will appreciate, and making assumptions based on previous performance can be risky. • Another factor to consider is rent ap- preciation. “It can’t be guaranteed and you shouldn’t speculate that rental increases will be part of your return. You may assume, if rents go up, you might see an equal apprecia- tion in your costs, so your yield may remain the same,” said Wally Charnoff, CEO of In- vestability Real Estate, Inc. • Also, be sure you understand operat- ing costs. When you own a property far from home, it can be benefi cial to rely on third-par- ty providers to manage and repair the home. Therefore, it’s often best to include costs such as repairs, capital expenditures, “turn costs” (when a tenant moves out) and leasing ex- penses upfront. • Finally, you must do your due dili- gence when investing. Regardless of whether you’re buying across town or across the coun- try, make sure that the assumptions the seller uses are in line with the market’s actual costs and returns. Look for an opportunity based on (NAPSA)—Th e U.S. Preventive Services Task Force’s new guidelines for colon cancer screening state that newer methods, such as noninvasive at-home stool DNA testing (Cologuard) and virtual colonoscopy (CT colonography), provide just as much benefi t to patients as traditional colonoscopy.

It can regularly monitor credit reports for suspicious new accounts and screen for sale of personal in- formation on the dark Web. For a free, easy-to-use iden- tity fraud risk assessment, visit www.lifelock.com/risk- calculator. To have more fun for less money at a music festival, you and your friends can stay in a vacation rental home with a company such as Wyndham Vacation Rentals. Amenities typically include multiple bedrooms, bath- rooms, a kitchen, a washer/ dryer and more. Learn more at www.VacationDiff erently. com. Trust in law enforcement has tied its lowest point in the last two decades. A return to community policing and a focus on technology and soft skills can help improve com- munity relations. Higher ed- ucation degrees can provide the necessary skills. For more information, visit phoenix. edu. Household leaks can waste more than 1 trillion gallons of water annually na- tionwide. Understanding how to use technology to assess and purchase investment prop- erties online can lead to more-informed buying deci- sions.

Clinical trials suggest adding TG Th erapeutics’ novel drug, ublituximab, to another immunotherapy medication could greatly in- crease leukemia patients’ rate of remission.
