SmartArt and the new Designer feature in Office 365 are great for simple lists, but numbered lists are another story. Designer has a few options, but you can easily create a couple of templates for beautiful numbered lists and use them over and over. Start with a list. Start with a simple list, like this one. Here, I numbered the list, but you’ll lose the numbers in the next step, so it isn’t necessary. You can use a bulleted list.

As the world knows, that's exactly what Felicity Huffman did and soon enough the saga will be ancient history and she can return to her career. Instead, the two are going to trial.

Bloomberg hammers this: For Q4 2018, student loan delinquencies totaled $166.4 billion. An account is classified as "delinquent" when it is 90 days overdue. The main reason is that what graduates earn is not enough to enable the payment of the student loan debt. That is, the income or return on investment for higher education is not adequate to keep up with the monthly nut. So obvious is this mismatch that the Federal Reserve of St.

According to GoBankingRates.com, there, over-65 households need $38,147 annually to just make it. And retiring has become nearly impossible for households over-65 in locations such as New York City, where they need about $100k a year. Here are more details in MarketWatch.

The to do list debate never gets old. Some swear by their agendas saying that having a to do list is the only thing keeping them sane. Others shrug and state that listing up a bunch of tasks never helps them get more done. How come people fail and succeed with to do lists at the same time? The explanation is rather simple: a lot of us think that having a to do list per se will immediately result in better productivity. Review your list regularly.
