Falcon Heavy, SpaceX, and Elon Musk
SpaceX’s founder, Elon Musk, successfully launched its new rocket, Falcon Heavy…and in the process, also put an end to all those pesky “the Earth is flat” rumors…
The Rose That Grew From Concrete
Did you hear about the rose that grew from a crack in the concrete? Proving nature’s law is wrong it learned to walk without having feet. Funny it seems, but by keeping its dreams, it learned to breathe fresh air. Long live the rose that grew from concrete when no one else ever cared.

Guys, at least for the short term until traffic picks up, make Stories, not Conversations. If this were the old IC, Stories = Threads Conversations = Backstreets
Dividend Growth Investing
The plan is to purchase shares in certain companies, ETFs, and REITs, that all pay dividends, while in my accumulation phase. The companies involved are to be Dividend Aristocrats, Dividend Champions, blue chips, and a few other companies I believe that are on the right track. Due to good management practices, I expect these companies to increase their dividend payout every year…if a company freezes their dividend in the future, I may either stop purchasing shares of their stock and just hold on, or sell all of my shares and purchase more shares of other companies, depending on the scenario. These are the companies that I’m currently long in: AAPL Apple Inc ADM Archer Daniels Midland Co AFL Aflac Inc BRKB Berkshire Hathaway Inc CL Colgate-Palmolive Co DIS Walt Disney Co ED Consolidated Edison Inc EMR Emerson Electric Co FSLR First Solar Inc GIS General Mills Inc HAS Hasbro Inc HCP Healthcare Partners Inc HIBB Hibbett Sports Inc HSY Hershey Co KO Coca-Cola Co LEG Leggett & Platt Inc MVEN Themaven Inc O Realty Income Corp SBUX Starbucks Corp SO Southern Co T AT&T Inc TGT Target Corp TTWO Take-Two Interactive Software Inc VFC VF Corp VGK Vanguard FTSE Europe Index Fund VOO Vanguard S&P 500 Index Fund VT Vanguard Total World Stock Index Fund WBA Walgreens Boots Alliance Inc List will be updated, as I purchase shares in other companies, ETFs, and REITs. The bolded pay dividends; the majority are distributed quarterly, DIS pays dividends twice a year, and O pays monthly.

FAQs
I had an account on the old Ill Community, what do I do now? Your account has been imported. Just click here and punch in your email to activate it. We’ll send you an email to set a new password, and you’ll be good to go. What if I see “email already in use?” If that email is yours, just click “Forgot password?” on the login screen and you’ll get emailed a link to restore access. What happened to my post count? Your post count, join date, points and other info have all been preserved and imported into our new platform. It will take a few weeks before this is displayed in the user profile, hopefully sometime in January, so we appreciate your patience during the transition. Where do I find the different rooms/forums? You can click the 3 vertical dots at upper right, or use the “hamburger” menu – upper left on desktop, lower left on your phone. What’s the difference between a “story” and a “conversation”? Try it! Stories give you more opportunity for expression, formatting etc but take a little extra time to create. Conversations are quick and easy, just start typing. Both stories and conversations support images, embeds, links etc Why is there no indenting? The new format displays posts in a simple stream. Maven will be adding the ability to reply to posts in the middle of a conversation thread and eventually quote them as well. We don’t yet have a timeframe for this. Will I know if someone replies to my post? Yes, if you initiate a thread (“original poster”) you’ll get email notifications on replies. Is there a way to “subscribe” and get notified about all new posts? Sure – just click on any room, then the Options icon, then “Turn on notifications”. You can do the same with any particular story, using the ellipse (“…”) icon. And if you post a story or start a thread, you’ll automatically be notified about any replies. That’s potentially a lot of email, so you may prefer to go the AHH home page and “Turn on story notifications”. That way you’ll get notified only on actual stories, not user conversations. What about using an RSS reader? Absolutely, see here for information. Can I change my username? No, your username is permanent. You may re-register with a different email if desired. Can I include images and other embeds? Yes, just paste the link, no embed code is required. We currently support Facebook (which includes Facebook video links), Twitter (including video), Youtube, Instagram, Soundcloud, Vimeo, Audiomack, MP3, JPG, GIF, PNG and more… Do you have an app? We have a great one for iOS, just click here from your iPhone. An Android version is coming in the next couple months. What about feature X or Y or Z? We’re adding new features to the platform almost weekly, so stay tuned! And again thank you for your patience with this transition. It’s always hard to move to something different than you’re used to, but we firmly believe this is the right long-term move for AllHipHop.
