Title: Mrs. Wiggs of the cabbage patch
Read with ICDL Reader
- Alice Caldwell Hegan (Author)
Abstract: This book is about the optimistic Mrs. Wiggs, whose troubles never get her down. These troubles include her deceased husband, who left his wife and five children impoverished, her home in the Cabbage Patch, an old Louisville slum and the plight of her oldest son Jim, who has assumed the crippling responsibilities of head of household at the tender age of fifteen.
One family tragedy, however, leaves even Mrs. Wiggs shaken. Robbed of her oldest child and at even greater pains to support the ones who remain, she turns to Lucy Olcott, a beautiful and benevolent young woman who had helped the family on the previous Christmas. Despite her wealth and comfort, Lucy, too, is beset by problems. Hiding from her sorrow by performing good deeds for Mrs. Wiggs, Lucy little suspects that her actions will also bring her happiness in the end.

Jet Grind Radio sets cool standard
Bombastic yet cool. This is the dichotomy you encounter in the atmosphere of Jet Grind Radio. There’s nothing quite like it — except its sequel — and that’s a blessing because I don’t think the world could handle anything else. It’s quirky, futuristic, stunning, and undeniably cool when you get down to it: Jet Grind Radio is the future.
Set in a futuristic Tokyo, Jet Grind Radio features a wide cast of rollerblading graffiti gangs vying for supremacy and struggling against an egomaniacal madman and his conglomerate, which are attempting to take over the world. The storyline serves its purpose but it’s the characters that are the draw here. Each character — including the unlockable — has an interesting look and story going on. They are the lifeblood, and it’s fun to learn about them and their motivations.
While we’re loving the characters, let’s also give love to the art style that brings them to life. The art style is gorgeous and still holds up after 23 years. The graffiti cel-shaded look has aged well; graffiti never fails to be awesome and impactful, and Jet Grind Radio looks phenomenal. It’s the first game to use this technique, and it set the standard in 2000 in terms of presentation. The backgrounds are also well done and inspire runs through the game. It’s clearly an early 2000s game, but that only portends good things about the Dreamcast and what it was capable of.
And as good as the game looks, the graphics almost don’t hold a candle to the soundtrack. This is one of the best soundtracks ever done, and it will have you bopping while you’re running around on inline skates. This is one of those soundtracks that you put on while working and you get some of your best work done. Funky and pop-centric, the soundtrack has so much going on thematically that there’s bound to be something for everyone.
And in terms of appealing to mass consumption, the controls are a common denominator kind of sensibility. The immediate comparison here is Tony Hawk, which isn’t surprising since the Hawkman had just released his first game — Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater — a year earlier to critical acclaim. Jet Grind Radio doesn’t necessarily grind on Hawk’s coattails, but you’re bound to say to yourself at least once, “These controls sure feel familiar.” And you wouldn’t be wrong. That’s a good thing, because it plays like early Tony Hawk, you know when it was good.
While everything is great in terms of presentation and control, I’d be remiss in mentioning that there is one bothersome flaw with Jet Grind Radio. While the controls are easily analogous to early Tony Hawk games, it wasn’t easy to pick up the game and know what’s going on immediately. It’s a little too inaccessible at first, like it’s asking you to have some in-depth knowledge ahead of playing for the first time. You may not be familiar with the concepts the game is throwing at you, and it’s the game’s responsibility to ease you into the fray. Thankfully, the surrounding game is so good that you’ll come back to get more in-depth with the trappings of Tokyo-to.
The Jet Grind series has lasted into the modern era with re-releases and a rumored reboot, and the original game details exactly why. Easy controls, varied modes, an engaging cast (love Pots, Piranha and Beat!) and popping soundtrack make for an immediately unforgettable experience. Get in-line to get down with the fantastic Jet Grind Radio.

The word casino is generally associated with gambling and games of chance. These may include slot machines, roulette, blackjack, baccarat, craps, and poker. Some casinos also feature dining, entertainment, and other amenities. In some countries, gambling is legalized and regulated. Casinos are often located in areas with high population density, such as cities or resorts.
When playing at a casino, there are four things that must come together to make it profitable: popularity of the game, odds, player’s skills, and pure luck. These factors are what draw people to casinos and keep them coming back. While some gamblers are obsessed with winning big, others simply enjoy the thrill of gambling and socializing with other people.
Aside from gambling, casinos are known for their luxury hotels, cutting-edge technology, flexible event and entertainment spaces, award-winning restaurants, and a variety of other amenities. These are the types of amenities that attract corporate and leisure groups, and they can help boost a casino’s discoverability on search engines.
In order to increase their discoverability, casinos should consider using competitive market ads. These ads will give them major exposure to event planners searching for venues in similar markets or sister destinations, helping them win group business and increase revenue. They should also use search ads, which will place them at the top of search results and encourage people to click through to their websites. These are tried and true marketing strategies that can help casinos become industry leaders.

From COVID-19 and how governments have responded, to the US Presidential Election, to Brexit finally becoming a reality with the imminent ending of the transition period, and to an historic coalition government in Ireland bringing Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael together, there is an enormous amount of ground to cover and reflect upon after what has been a truly unprecedented year.

The digital printing market is expected to grow from $24.8 billion in 2021 to $34.3 billion by 2026 (reportlinker.com). As demand for digital printing increases, INNOMARK continues to invest in solutions that expand capacity and meet high quality requirements. The company is pleased to announce that it recently purchased a Durst Rho 2500 digital press.
The Durst Rho 2500 is a hybrid digital press that can process both flatbed and roll fed work. As a roll fed solution, it offers premium quality, as well as speeds up to three times faster than INNOMARK's current equipment. Its flatbed capability allows INNOMARK to expand capacity, while maintaining high quality standards.
Specifications for the Durst Rho 2500 include:
- Resolution up to 1,000 dpi
- Roll fed speeds up to 10,000 sq. ft. per hour
- Flatbed speeds up to 300+ 4' x 8' boards per hour
- 98" Maximum width (roll fed)
- 1.57" Maximum thickness (flatbed)
INNOMARK expects the Durst to be fully operational in December of 2021. This purchase coincides with the arrival of a second 10' dual head Zund cutting system. These two pieces of equipment will add capacity to an already robust digital printing solution that is ideal for short run displays, signage, and packaging projects.

See Why Contractors Prefers Getting A Beam Lift Rental Instead Of Buying One
Many industries and construction projects involve lifting heavy items from one place to another. It is advisable to have the right equipment for repetitive lifting tasks. Lifts are simple and efficient machines that use hydraulic power to move your load from one part of the worksite to the desired location. You will probably be weighing the pros and cons of buying a unit compared to renting one during the project setup. Here are the four main benefits you achieve when you choose the rental.
You Eliminate the Initial Investment
The cost of buying a lift is high, and it can throw your overall project budget completely off-balance. However, you do not have to overspend at the start of the project. You can rent a unit and direct the money into another part of your project instead. When you save money at the beginning of the project, your overall productivity improves.
You Get Countless Options
You also get countless options when renting a unit. The market has many lift models depending on the brand, capacity, and capabilities. When buying one, your budget could limit you to an option that doesn't work well. However, when you choose to rent the unit, you will go through all the products available from the seller and pick the ideal one for your needs.
You Avoid the Storage Costs
Storage costs are another expense you have to worry about when buying lifts. You might have to rent space to store them and protect them from theft and harsh weather, which is stressful. Instead, choose a rental arrangement and let the owner worry about storage.
You Save Money
A lot goes into the process of purchasing, customizing, and maintaining lifts in perfect working order. As a construction site manager, you might have the money to buy and even budget for one. However, you will still need to spend money on maintenance, which eats into your overall construction budget. If you are running a one-time project, you will have to dispose of the lifts at a lower price than you bought them because of depreciation. All these costs are not economical, and it is wiser to rent a unit. In the rental arrangement, you worry about getting reliable lift operators. The rental company will handle the rest of the costs.
Renting a beam lift has countless benefits over buying one. Speak to a competent supplier and select the ideal machinery for efficient project delivery.
If you're looking for a beam lift rental, be sure to check out websites of companies in your local area.

With so many credit score commercials, advertisements and more, most people already know the importance of a high credit score. Most don’t really pay much attention to it though until a major purchase is on the horizon, such as home buying. So how can a low credit score improve? Here are my three favorite tips that actually work for everyone as long as they put in the effort.
There is always a fine line when it comes to handling credit cards in general. In order to build credit, a person must use credit, and a credit card works wonderfully in that regard. However, taking out too much credit, or not handling the balance properly, can cause a credit score to take a hit.
For the most part, people should aim to ideally only use about 30% of their credit available at a time. There are times in life where that might change a little bit, but working the percentage down can really help out in a lot of ways.
If a credit card balance gets too high, it can make a person look like they don’t really know how to handle the amount of credit they have. Lenders don’t want to feel as though a person might be a risk to their company.
Responsibility plays a big role in anyone’s credit score. That means paying bills on time, not ignoring bills and just stepping up to the plate and owning all debt accumulated. It can really be tough at times, and that means extra planning might be needed to ensure that enough money is available to pay bills. Staying on top of the bills can get that credit score back into a respectable range fairly quickly.
Many might think that paying bills on time is only related to debt. That is simply not the case. In fact, something like getting credit for utility bill payments, cell phone payments and more can help in the long run. At the same time, avoiding something as seemingly innocent as returning library books on time can actually hurt a credit score if they decide to report it.
Lenders trust responsible people who seem to carry minimal risk. Even if the balance is a little high, making timely payments can go a long way towards getting everything back in order.
It can be a bit overwhelming the first time a person is denied credit, or simply sees a credit score that is less than ideal. No one wants that feeling. However, the one way it definitely will not be repaired is if it is blown off and ignored. From that day forward, be proactive about the credit score repair, and put a plan into place.
Perhaps the best motivator is simply checking the credit score frequently. This is sort of similar to weighing in while trying to lose weight. A person can check their credit score with any of the three credit bureaus for free once a month. That means, if staggered, a person can check one of Equifax, Experian, or TransUnion once every four months. Seeing progress can help motivate going forward. There are also other free tools out their like Credit Karma, that allows you to check them at any time without affecting your credit score.
Cutting back on frivolous purchases and staying focused is the best way to responsibly get back to a solid credit score. If tempted to try to open yet another card, do whatever possible not to. This will likely not improve a credit score, since it will be creating more hard inquiries. Not only that, but another credit card will just make it that much easier to spend.

So, you got this person’s resume and it isn’t bad. You interviewed them and they passed. However, you’re still not sure if they’re a good fit for the position. Before rushing into deciding to accept the candidate, you can always share a post-interview challenge.
I started writing this post as a short guide to start a dialogue on volunteering culture and encourage people to explore and volunteer more. Eventually, it grew to become a long article depicting my life in the past ten years. It’s a bit too personal for me and what I intended my blog to be about, but I do trust you 🙂
I have been involved in volunteering activities since 2007 and I feel now is the time to share some experiences on why I did it and why it was so important to me that I’m still doing it till now.
Originally, volunteering was never my first choice. I can now say that It started by mistake. Continue reading

Have yet to find a philosophical somewhere I am content to call home. The closest I get to a creed these days is a quote by John Green. "Whether I believe in God isn’t really relevant. I do believe however tenuously in Mercy"
Due to a lot of personal reasons encountered along this journey, I have mostly stepped away from writing for now. Still, sometimes something stirs me and I need space to hash out my thoughts.
So welcome to my little space along the journey.

It's pleasantly surprising hearing 3 bassists and 1 drummer/vocalist playing arrangements with the comfort and dexterity of a typical band. Founded in 1989 by King and bassist Rodney Whitaker. Since then the group has become orchestral with plenty of room for improvisation.
PROPORTIONED ORCHESTRA: Sam Copperman, Jeff Cuny, Rocco Popielarski, Samuel Harris -basses; Dr. Prof. Leonard King-drum set & vocals.
Oopapada, named after the famous Babs Gonzales composition of the mid 1940's, was formed in March of 1995. Dr. Prof. Leonard King-drums & vocals, Chris Codish-organ, & Robert Tye-guitar were the original group. Since then, Oopapada has become a formidable quintet.
This 16-piece ensemble has two notable differences in comparison to the typical orchestra with numerically the same members: a soprano saxophone functions as the "third trumpet" in the brass section, and there is a full, four-member drums/percussion section as opposed to the typical "rhythm section" in which there is only one drummer playing the drum set among piano, guitar, & bass.
This ensemble is the outgrowth of a March 2010 concert which featured primarily the orchestrated compositions of the late organist Lyman Woodard, of which Leonard and Ron were members of his groups over the course of a 35 year period that began in 1973. Since then annual concerts are presented featuring more orchestrations of Lyman's works and his arrangements of compositions by others. The 2-disc CD, The Lyman Woodard Organization Orchestra, was released in October 2010.
Leonard decided to maintain the same band members to perform his own works as well as his arrangements of the works of other composers. After rediscovering several of his own compositions, including four suites of which only one he actually recalled writing, it was time to dust off the manuscripts and bring this "new" music to life.
The Dr. Prof. Leonard King Orchestra has 6 CD's and counting.
The Lyman Woodard Organization for the Arts' mission encompasses the fostering of the creative spirit through the production and presentation of performances and exhibits in venues accessible to all audiences.
On February 14, 1989 my Mother sent me a huge 8” x 10” birthday card manufactured by Hallmark titled “The Birthday Times”. The format loosely assimilated headlines of the daily newspapers. Under the heading, “News of the Month”, are three entries. One of them states, “Truman introduces civil rights to end segregation of schools & employment”. Another heading titled, “People Who Share Your Birthday” included comedian Jack Benny (1894) out of six entries. Columbia Records created and introduced the long-playing phonograph record, and Michelin introduced the first radial tires. What really got my attention was the heading “Life in the U.S.A – Then & Now” that made certain comparisons between 1948, the year of my birth, and 1989, the year of my 41st birthday. The average income per person in 1948 was $3,187, and in 1989--$30,453. One gallon of gasoline in 1948 cost $0.26, and in 1989--$0.93. A brand new Ford automobile in 1948 cost $1,150, and in 1989--$10,879. One gallon of milk in 1948 cost $0.88, and in 1989--$2.32.
Leonard King and the Soul Messengers began as a family band featuring Leonard (drums), Gregory (alto sax), and Atiba, his birth name was Larry before he changed it, (cornet). At first we called ourselves the Kings of Rhythm, obviously because of our last name. Soon afterwards we we called ourselves the Jazz Sextet. This initial phase happened between 1960-62. In mid-1962 our group expanded to include Adelphia Hill, trumpet, Richard Sims, tenor sax, and Darryl Moore, bass. In the fall of 1963 Richard Sims left and was replaced by Charles Eubanks on alto sax. Since the group already had three horn players, Eubanks suggested that he play piano, in which the members readily agreed. By mid-1964 he left to join The Six Lads who were mentored by pianist Harold McKinney. Immediately afterwards George Rountree replaced Eubanks as the pianist. This personnel stayed intact until the fall of 1966 when Frank Garcia replaced Moore as the bassist. In those days we performed for all kinds of social events throughout the metro Detroit area.
We attended Southwestern High School in Detroit and it was here where we met famed pianist/organist Earl Van Dyke who was invited to be one of the judges at our school talent shows. In December, 1967 he invited us to attend one of the Blue Monday presentations at the Chit Chat Lounge on Detroit' s west side. We had the honor of playing the instruments that belonged to the house band--the now-famous Funk Brothers(Earl Van Dyke, Robert White, guitar, James Jamerson, bass, Uriel Jones, drums, & Dangerous Dan Turner, tenor sax (however, during the evening that we performed Eli Fountaine Sr. was there playing alto saxophone). This is the band that played for all of the Southwestern High proms from 1965-69 (ain' t that somethin'). Oh by the way, there were only FIVE Funk Brothers--the guys mentioned above. All others were Motown studio musicians. The movie doesn't tell the real story at all!!
In September, 1967 Adelphia Hill left and was replaced by Jimmy Nash, trumpet. In December of that year (shortly after the Chit Chat gig) I was drafted in to the U.S. Army and I left Detroit on January 22, 1968. The group stayed intact during my absence of 3 years (yes, I was tricked in to signing on for an extra year but that's another story for a book, perhaps!!). Ralph Todd joined the group as the guitarist in February, 1968. The basic original core of the group stayed intact until July 1969 when Frank Garcia left and the bass chair changed at different intervals. I returned to the group after my Army discharge on January 25, 1971. On my return the personnel included my brothers, Ralph Todd, Tim Allison-trumpet; William Wooten-organ; Warren Phinizee-bass; Lindsay Brooks-vocals; and myself. This personnel was stable until after the New Year.
In February, 1972 my brothers and George Rountree remained as a group (George left in 1970 and returned in January, 1972). My brothers left in the spring of 72. We had some other replacement horns including Robert & Allan Barnes-tenor saxes, and Edward Brooks-trumpet until late fall when we became an organ trio featuring Mike Johnson, guitar, George, and myself in November, '72. We eventually disbanded in March, 1973 after a great ten-year run. On October 11, 2003 Leonard King and the Soul Messengers were inducted into the Motown Museum as "Men Of Motown" as a result of us being being signed to Inferno Records in Detroit which was bought by Motown in April, 1968.
At the present time only three of the original core members are still active in music. George Rountree is still the music director for the Four Tops. Adelphia Hill retired from the U.S. Air Force Band but still plays. Greg returned to playing after retiring from the Ford Motor Company in 2008. . I've been touring the world with saxophonist James Carter in addition to performing with Oopapada featuring Robert Tye-guitar, and Chris Codish-organ; and also as a member of The Southpaw Isle Steelband.

The purpose of this endeavor is to give honorable mention to MANY artists who contributed to MUSIC throughout different regions in the state of Michigan. The focus of this document has expanded from my original geographic boundaries because I already know that over time it will include artists from the Upper and Lower Michigan peninsulas. It doesn’t matter where the artists are originally from. Any time spent in the various Michigan regions is worthy of inclusion.Visit the Almanac Website

I have had the same experience as John. If you move both fry & adults, there is a fairly good chance that the fry will disappear. In addition to the stress, I wonder if the parents no longer "recognize" the fry as their own in the new tanks. Although I recall a post that theorized that the "smell" of the water in the spawning tank was a method by which foster parents (borelli, I think it was) could be encouraged to care for a different brood, I guess there must be limitations. For example, I have had the misfortune to have fry that were sucked up by a power filter (prior to the use of a sponge covering over the intake), where they survived for a few days or even weeks. Whenever I introduced such fry back to the parents (in the same tank), they were usually immediately chased down and eaten. Somehow, the parents can distinguish these fry from the fry that they are currently tending. On the other hand, on one occasion, I separated the parents from most of the fry (because of parental fighting) for a period of about 14 hours and when I re-introduced the fry, the parents accepted them. Does anyone have any experience or information on how long parents can be separated from fry and still have the parents recognize the fry? Or do you think it is a question of idiosyncracies in parental behavior, i.e., how good a given pair of fish are as parents as opposed to an instinctive response? Also, I'd like to note that I prefer to move the adults, since they tend to be easier to see & catch - if I try to move the fry, I always find a few the next day that I missed, requiring another dip into the tank. If you are moving fry, you should use a hose, as other people have noted. I find that fry do better when siphoned out through an adequately sized hose. A hose also seems to cause less disturbance in the tank. Finally, I'd like to pose a question about water conditions of raising fry. It seems to me that the water parameters have to be "correct" for fish to spawn and for the eggs to hatch, but after the fry are free-swimming, they seem to handle varying water conditions about as well as their parents (aside from any sexing issues!) and spawning conditions no longer have to be maintained. Aside from any discussion of whether the fish are truly happy in non-spawning water parameters, has anyone noticed a difference due to water parameter changes, given that the parents are doing well and assuming no obvious negatives, like poor water quality or rapidly fluctuating conditions? If so, at what point does the sensitivity of the fry equal that of their parents? Yep, it's not that busy at work today... :) -mk ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is the apistogramma mailing list, [email protected].

St. Patrick’s day is a truly global affair. In Chicago they dye the river green, parades fill the streets of Dublin, London, New York, Moscow and too many other cities to list.
Even the river Vilnele in Lithuania was dyed green in celebration last year. While world landmarks such as the London Eye, the pyramids at Giza and the Sydney Opera House are basked in green light to celebrate the event.
Unsurprisingly for a holiday that has such global appeal, advertisers are also keen to push their products. This often results in frenzied campaigns akin to those seen during other holiday periods.
So with the day drawing close, we thought it would be apt to share four of our favourite St. Paddy’s Day adverts.
What’s more, we are currently offering a Free ‘Behind The Scenes’ film for any TV commercials booked in with us, up until St Patrick’s Day. These prove very popular with our clients, as a PR, new business and motivational tool for internal staff and stakeholders. Check out: Colour Vibe TV Commercial ‘Behind The Scenes’
Feel free to get in touch for more information.
Jameson is an iconic Irish drink and their Be Original advert perfectly channels the global appeal of the St. Paddy’s Day.
Challenging viewers to celebrate the day in their ‘own original way’, Jameson’s inclusive message throughout the advert is impressive. Nowhere is it more pronounced than at the end of the advert when the poignant voice over powerfully announces:
“You don’t have to be Irish to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day … It’s all in your approach.”
If that doesn’t get you ready for the day we don’t know what will.
When you think of Ireland and St. Patrick’s Day what’s the first drink that springs to mind?
I’d be surprised if the answer wasn’t Guinness and just as the brand’s beer is rather good their advertising isn’t half bad either.
We particularly like this advert called Round Up Your Friends, it’s a nice reminder of the inclusivity of St. Patrick’s Day whilst also highlighting that Guinness is more appealing than any other vice you could name!
So this one’s not a TV advert and it’s not by an iconic Irish brand but at The Living Room we like to celebrate creativity in all its forms and McDonald’s 2011 Shamrock Shake was a clever piece of advertising.
With a massive McDonald’s cup overturned and appearing to pour green liquid into the dyed green Chicago River, it appeared as though McDonald’s had turned the river green.
A nice touch.
One more from Guinness, because nobody advertises during St. Patrick’s better.
Many adults probably find Saint Patrick’s Day more appealing than Christmas, for obvious reasons. Guinness channelled this in their 2004 advert St. Patrick’s Day Morning where three young men are seen racing downstairs.
There they are greeted by wrapped green presents, full with all the Guinness you could imagine.
I’d be happy with that for Christmas too!

Milan, among other virtues, has an extreme generosity. It is generous, abundant though refined, like the rite of the aperitif, a brilliant moment that all real Milanese citizens, whether childbirth or adopted, share with pride and pleasure.
So at the MIC, the Interactive Museum of Cinema, they started offering aperitifs before Wednesdays’ screenings: happy hours are set on the beautiful terrace of the historic Manifattura Tabacchi, home of Milan’s Museum and Civic School of Cinema and Television. On the bill we find Italian and international films, and also a selection of mute movies with live music accompaniment.
So, together with the historic Arianteo film festival, we have also this beautiful initiative in Viale Fulvio Testi, confirming Milan's vitality is not only a city centre’s prerogative but it can be found also in a culturally vibrant and evolving peripheral area. Beautiful Milan! Thank you!

It’s an ugly morning here in western Massachusetts, with snow, freezing rain, oh and that thing where it’s AN HOUR EARLY. *weep* I’ll be heading out to work shortly, but I do have a review out there this morning in today’s Manga Minis column. The review is for the two most recent volumes (4&5) of the Korean series, Comic, and though I enjoyed the first three volumes more, it still interests me as a series and I’m hoping the next one will offer less romantic drama and more of the story’s main plot.
Now I must prepare myself to face the elements. Later!

Following these twelve land investment guidelines will help you proceed wisely with investing in UK land
1) Is the investment land in a region with high demand for housing?
The property should be in area that is viable and not at risk of future decline. Review statistics and trends about violent crime, school performance, industry loss or retention, and poverty, as these factors are crucial to determining housing demand. Find out what the city’s position is on funding for, and commitment to improving any of the aforementioned housing demand indicators.
2) Has a full sustainability study been carried out on the land investment site?
The land investment site must be evaluated to see what impact land development would have on the environment and natural resources. Any disturbance or potential harm to archeological sites, protected species, or conservation areas should be noted. Inspect the land’s topography for any sloping or flooding potential. Assess the effect that your potential investment might have on the present character of the land and buildings. Consider if a new development would “fit in” with the existing developments’ character?
3) Does the land investment site have road access? Is there an existing transport infrastructure?
Inquire about any plans for modification of roads that may affect the property in question. If there are such plans, are they already funded and scheduled or are they still in the planning stages? Research factors that affect the importance of access, such as the number of people who commute to work as opposed to working locally.
4) Does the area where the investment land lies have sufficient amenities to support residents of a new development?
Evaluate the quality and enrollment capacity of local schools availability of recreational facilities. Consider not only the quantity and variety of shops, but ask about longevity versus or high turnover of those businesses. Look into the ease of accessing both inpatient and outpatient medical care. Ask about immediate or future plans for addition or removal of any of the above amenities.
5) Does the company with whom you are investing have a successful record of accomplishment with UK Land Investments?
Ask for referrals from current and previous clients and actually contact them. Search public records, industry journals, and periodicals to be apprised of the company’s reputation, stability, and expertise with investing in UK Land.
6) Does the company contractually retain a holding in the land investment site?
Investigating matters such as this may seem to be obvious and unnecessary but will save you time and money in the long- run
7) Does the company contractually commit funds to the planning application for the land investment site?
Be sure that commitment of funds to the planning application for your potential investment in UK land is specified in the contract.
8) Are any overage payments due on the land investment site?
Be certain that overage payment information has been fully disclosed to you. Do not assume that there are no payments due; you must actively inquire about this when investing in land.
9) Will you own the title deed to your investment land?
Make sure that you fully and singularly own the title deed to the land and that you will have full access to the deed.
10) Have you thoroughly explored the contract prior to committing to investing in land?
You must have adequate time to scrutinize the contract when you are as detached as possible from pressure or emotion. Your legal representative must also be able to study the contract prior to the final sale.
11) Are the timescales quoted reasonable for land investment?
Investigate the timescales for existing similar developments to compare timescale quotes and assess the probability of the investments completion according to the unique features of the particular piece of UK land in which you are pursuing.
12) Does the company have an in-house planning team to work on the land investment site?
The availability of an in house team may help facilitate communication, resulting in decreased time delays and greater possibility for higher profits for the UK land investor.

Quite a while ago I bought a leopard print dress. I’ve started liking this pattern more and more, is that a sign of me slowly turning into a cougar? OK not really as I’m not in my 40’s and dating younger men. YET. One never knows what the future holds 🙂
Anyhow I really like this dress, it’s short sleeved, in a soft material and a comfortable fit. The hubby mocked me and the dress, remember? His clever comment was ”Me Tarzan, you Jane” so the nickname for the dress is now Jane.
I tend to call my clothes different things. You see there was a time, long ago, when the hubby used to pack my bag when we went on a trip. I know, I know, he’s not all bad. Now this probably sounds awful but I was always working late, and I’m talking middle of the night late, before going on a trip,which left me very little time to pack.
The hubby got home a lot earlier than I did so I used to mail him a list with the things I wanted packed and he would fix it. For this reason it made things easier to call my clothes different names, as the hubby would know what I meant if I said ”Grace Kelly-skirt” but would be bewildered, panic and freak out in my rather large wardrobe if I said the 50’s style cream coloured satin skirt with moss green details. Love that skirt by the way, wonder if I can squeeze into it…
So, the leopard print dress is Jane.
Now Jane and I were out the other day, and I accessorised her with red necklace, red belt and red shoes.
A nice look. And so did other people seem to think. I got several compliments, albeit friends and co-workers, but the best thing was the reaction at the local DHL-pick up point, where I went to collect a parcel.
The guy’s eyes lit up and he pushed the customer before me to the side (they seemed to know one another, thankfully) in order to help me.
When leaving I passed a couple of guys who called me habibti. It means my beloved or darling in Arabic.
Oh yes, the dress is a killer!
When coming home I told the hubby, and said at least there are some people who like my Jane-dress. Haha the look on his face 🙂
He still doesn’t like the dress.

Slot receivers line up inside the boundary cornerback. Their speed allows them to stretch defenses vertically. They can also get open in the red zone. Whether you are playing on a team that uses this strategy or not, it is important to know how to use it effectively. In this article, you will learn about the basic uses of slot receivers.
Slot receivers are lined up inside of a boundary cornerback
Slot receivers are often lined up inside of the boundary cornerback and are available on both sides of the field. They are also known as nickelbacks. As the extra defensive back on the field, a slot receiver must be able to create separation between himself and the cornerback in order to get open.
Slot receivers are a versatile type of wide receiver. They line up on the boundary of either the left or the right side. They are often mixed with other types of receivers and can win partial payouts. Their versatility is crucial to their success. If they can catch a pass and get past the boundary cornerback, they can be effective on almost any line.
Although they are not the most athletic players on the field, slot receivers can run cross routes, switch routes, and slant routes. They must also be able to move downfield quickly. This is why juggling with slot CBs is so important.
They stretch the defense vertically off pure speed
Slot receivers provide an offense with an additional option when it comes to passing. They typically start running flat routes before breaking into corner or post routes. This allows them to attack defenses on every level of the field. In addition, they can stretch the defense vertically with their speed. Slot receivers typically line up behind the line of scrimmage, while wideouts line up next to the sideline.
A good OC will include the Speed Option in their playbook. The idea is to force the defense to stay honest and not overload one side of the field. It is commonly used in the Morris system as an extension of the QB run game. While defending the Speed Option is similar to defending the Stretch, there are a few differences. To attack a Speed Option, the defense must understand option rules.
A slot receiver’s speed allows him to stretch coverage vertically off pure speed. This ability to outrun defenders allows him to be an extremely effective option against any coverage scheme. Slot receivers are also great on Air Raid plays.
They can stretch the defense vertically off pure speed
Slot receivers can run multiple routes, both inside and outside the defense, and are growing in prominence in the NFL. Players such as Tyreek Hill and Branden Cooks have the ability to stretch the defense vertically off pure speed. They can also be effective in the catch-and-run game, where they run shorter routes on the route tree. These receivers are great for getting the ball downfield quickly and are capable of running slants and quick outs.
The versatility of a slot receiver makes him an ideal pass-receiver. His size and speed allow him to stretch the defense vertically, and his quickness allows him to run post routes on isolated cornerbacks. In addition to their size and speed, he also has great balance, which helps quarterbacks make easy throws to him.

Equipment purchase vs leasing
Purchasing mining equipment is very capital intensive, especially as equipment costs are constantly increasing. Once the decision to acquire new equipment is made the decision on how to finance the transaction needs to be determined. There are three ways to finance the purchase of new equipment which include; buying the equipment, hire purchase or lease the equipment.
Buying the equipment increases capital costs which can be acquired through existing cash on hand, borrowing against the company’s line of credit, or other direct loans. One of the benefits of buying is getting to deduct the depreciation. If the money is from a loan than the interest is also deducted. When the decision is made to purchase the equipment there are two equations used to determine the operating costs from that purchase.
Equivalent lease cost
The equivalent lease cost is a method used to determine the ownership cost annually or per hour. An alternative and preferred method is to treat the plant as if it were being leased. This calculation includes all of the factors considered in the average investment method but they more correctly account for the higher interest component of the cost earlier in the equipment life.
- The primary inputs are:
- Required return on investment, i
- Initial investment, PV
- Machine life, n
Determine the average hourly ownership cost using the equivalent lease cost method for a dozer that operates for 4,000 hours per year and has an expected life of 20,000 hours with an initial capital cost of $ 1million. The company seeks a 15% return on the investment.
n = (20,000) / 4,000 = 5years
CRF = [i(1 + i)]n / ([(1 + i)]n − 1) = [0.15(1 + 0.15)]5 / ([(1 + 0.15)]5 − 1) = 0.2983
PV = $1 million
i = 15%
Equivalent annual payment = PV x CRF = $1,000,000 x 0.2983 = $298,300 / year
Ownership cost per operating hour = $298,300/4000 = $74.58/operating hour

Discounted average cost Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag;
name cannot be a simple integer. Use a descriptive title
The discounted average cost method can be used to determine ownership cost for a piece of equipment. This method assumes operating costs are zero and an “operating hour” is the unit of production therefore applying to the capital components of an equipment purchase. This method is more difficult to apply than the previous mentioned method but it has the following advantages:
- The timing of capital payments can be accounted for
- Include the impact of tax on the ownership cost
- Adjustments can be made for salvage value. Allows the equivalent capital cost of long-life equipment to be accounted for even when it is to be used for a fraction of its technical life. The salvage value can be used as transfer value to another project in the company.
- Irregular annual usage rates can be accounted for
When the capital component is ignored in calculating the hourly operating cost there is a risk of estimating completely in error. The discounted average cost method allows direct comparison between purchasing equipment and hired equipment. If a contractor will place a $1 million machine on hire for $150/hour then the equivalent cost is the operating cost per hour plus the discounted average cost determined by the discounted average cost method.
Hire purchase is a method of buying goods through making several installments over time. The buyer is leasing the equipment but does not own it until the full amount of the contract is paid off. At the end of the hire period the user has the option to purchase the equipment. The user agrees to take the equipment on hire at a stated rental which includes the repayment of principal and interest.
In the hire purchase agreement the following terms apply:
- The owner delivers the asset on condition that the person pays the agreed amount in periodic installments
- The rights to the asset are passed to the user after the last payment is made, and
- Such person has the right to terminate the agreement at any time before the last payment is due
Rent to hire is a viable option when:
- Want to evaluate equipment from month-month before making a purchase or signing a lease
- Need quick access to equipment during shortage bites
- Need to reduce investments in fixed assets
- Need to acquire equipment while preserving credit lines
- Want purchase and upgrade options
A lease is a contract between the owner of the equipment (lessor) and its user (the lessee) for the right to use the asset. The period of time is specified and a mutually accepted amount and frequency of payment is determined. The user does not own the equipment and in turn it’s not included on the financial spreadsheet which frees up capital.There are two important categories of leasing: operating leases and financial leases.
Operating leases are short term and favourable for equipment that is susceptible to the risk of obsolescence. These leases can be cancelled at any time and the risk of obsolescence is taken on by the lessor. The lessor is responsible for the upkeep and maintenance of the asset and there is no incentive given to purchase at the end of the lease term.
Financial leases are long-term, non-cancellable and any risk in the use of the asset is taken on by the lessee. In this lease the lessor agrees to transfer the title for the asset at the end of the lease term for a nominal price. The lessor recovers 90% of the fair value of the asset as lease rentals and the lease period is 75% of the economic life of the asset. The agreement is irrevocable and the lessee takes on maintenance, insurance and repairs. Only the title deeds remain with the lessor.
Leasing is a viable option when:
- Risk of technological obsolescence
- Interest rate for leasing given by manufacturer is lower than interest rate on loan
- Need to spread payments over a longer term usually with a lower interest rate than a loan
- Typically no down payment Need to save on capital costs
- Need flexibility and convenience
- Planning cash flows
- Want to improve Liquidity
- Equipment is only required for less than 2 years
- User needs to defer a sales-tax payment
- The user cannot afford the capital outlay, or needs to improve financial ratios
Once it has reached the end of the lease period, the company has the option of:
- Buy the equipment for fair market value or predetermined price
- Renew the lease for a specific period of time
- Upgrade to new model and renew lease agreement
In this example an Atlas Copco MT 4368 is considered for purchase at a capital cost of $685,000.00. Here, the net present value of the residual cost was subtracted from the total cost of buying a new machine. This residual value was fixed at 17% of the original truck value, and was discounted at 10% for every year the truck was owned. The effect of this was that the total cost of buying the truck increased with each year that the residual value was discounted. This can be seen as an upward sloping line in Figure 1.
To obtain the monthly values of leasing the machine, an example was followed in the ‘Equipment Cost’ excel. The constants needed to calculate a constant, monthly lease value are listed below in Table 1 and were found using the ‘Equipment cost’ document.
Table 1: Lease calculation constants
|Lease Duration (years)||Multiplier|
These constants were multiplied into the total cost of the truck to obtain a monthly lease rate. This monthly lease rate could be used to calculate annual costs associated with the lease. Such costs as well as the capital and residual costs are summarized in Table 2 below.
Table 2 Buying costs versus leasing cost.
|Annual leasing Rate|
The annual costs could then be discounted at 10% annually and summed together to botain a net present value (NPV) for the leased truck. The effect of discounting the monthly payments, on an annual basis, meant that future payments were worth less than present day dollars. Therefore, as the lease period grew, the net present cost associated with the vehicle lease decreaed. This trend can be seen wiht the orange data in Figure 1.
Figure 1: Depicts the net present cost associated with either buying or leasing a particular piece of equipment with respect to the number of years the equipment is ‘owned’.
Three types of organizations providing equipment financing:
- Equipment manufacturers
- Various types of financial intermediary and law firms
- National and International agencies
Table 3: Difference between lease financing and hire purchase
The significant different between hire purchase and leasing is the tax consequences. A lease is a commercial arrangement whereby the owner of the equipment manufacturer gives the right for the user to use their equipment.
Table 4: Difference between purchase and lease
In the end owning equipment doesn’t make you money, using the equipment does. The cheapest way you can get the equipment for longest term is the most cost-effective choice.

The Bruce Lee One Inch Punch Real Secret is Explained!
The Bruce Lee One Inch Punch has taken on mythic proportions. People watch Bruce Lee movies, and then they look into the history Little Dragon, and when they see the famous Bruce Lee Punch their jaws drop and they think it can only be done by a super human.
The fact is, the Bruce Lee One Inch Punch can be done by anyone, if they are willing to understand some basic concepts and do a little hard work. Before we start, however, let me state that when you google Bruce Lee One Inch Punch you will find wikihow, and they will offer a five step explain on the thing. The problem is that the Wikihow description is for a Karate Punch! It’s not Bruce Lees Martial Arts at all!
And, you will also find sites explaining the thing through an analysis of the Bruce Lee One Inch Punch power through brains scans, and all sorts of other things. You will also find people claiming, in spite of the Long Beach one inch punch video, that the Bruce Lee One Inch Punch video is fake! Can’t even believe their own eyes. Sheesh.
Okay, now you know where not to look, let me give the simple explanation in simple physics.
When you punch you must sink your weight into the ground, and lean slightly forward so that your body weight goes into the punch. Then it is all a matter of martial arts timing.
Yes, it is that simple. But, the one thing that nobody seems to want to understand, or even to say-and this is the real secret behind the Bruce Lee One Inch Punch-is that Jun Fan (his real Chinese name) studied classical Kung Fu!
It was his studies in Wing Chun that enabled him to do many of the things he did.
Now, it is true that it was his amazing work ethic, his 24/7 obsession with martial arts, that enabled him to translate that classical knowledge into something that worked. But the basic knowledge came from Classical Wing Chun Kung Fu.
I know this to be true because it was in my studies of Classical Karate, and I have seen it in virtually all other traditional martial arts.
The problem with people not being able to do what Bruce did is twofold. First, because the martial arts happened so fast in the United States and the world, much of the knowledge was lost, not passed on.
The second thing, of course, is that people don’t have the intense desire that Bruce Lee had.
That said, the simple description you have here is only one, little, teensy piece of the puzzle. It won’t do you any good unless you decide to learn, and commit yourself to studying the Martial Arts.
And, to insure that you are able to do such things as the One Inch Punch, the physics, the ‘secrets,’ have been resurrected and written down and put on video at Monster Martial Arts.
I know some people will tune this out, and think, yeah, scam, but let me explain a simple fact.
In ‘The Punch,’ just to mention one of the martial arts training programs, There are a hundred pages, and these one hundred pages detail the five ways of doing a martial arts punch, and the correct order.
That’s something that nobody knows. A complete step by step sequence of ALL the things necessary to a true martial arts punch.
Most martial arts instructors tell you to hit the bag, or have you strike air, or do your forms, and they never explain the things that are really happening. That’s not learning knowledge, that’s monkey see monkey do, and it will take you a lifetime to get where you are going!
Or, if you are lucky enough to actually find somebody who teaches an authentic and real and true martial arts system, they usually only know one system, or, at the very least, not enough systems to have the full range of knowledge that The Little Dragon had, and which enabled him to do his One Inch Punch.
So a lifetime of sweating and bleeding, and then you have to be pretty lucky and find the right system and not get waylaid by marriage and kids and education and career changes and car accidents and all of that sort of stuff…or just get the book, get the knowledge!…and simply do it!
Remember, the Secret of the Bruce Lee One Inch Punch is not just the simple three steps I have explained here, but the fact that he he had committed himself to learning ALL of the martial arts.
To find the real secrets behind the Bruce Lee One Inch Punch, and all the other amazing things he could do, go to The Punch!

My heart is cracked in 18 million different places. My life has been upheaved. Bear (my Corgi) is safe at home asleep. His little sister Savannah (half pit bull, half boxer) has been stolen.
On Wednesday, November 12, 2009 my boyfriend whom I share a home with let the dogs outside like we do normally. They're fine by themselves. Until yesterday. Someone leaned down into the yard and scooped her up and took off with her. They left my other two dogs, but stole the baby of our family. Bear is a wreck. He'll be fine in his own time, but our hearts will never be the same without Savannah. She made our little family complete.
Savannah is only 5 months old and extremely loved. She is spoiled rotten. She's adorable and the best snuggler ever. I call her our puzzle piece. She makes our little family complete. Until we get married and have children, of course. I want her to be like Nana from Peter Pan. She has the biggest heart and more love to give than any other dog I've ever seen. Its not true what they say about pit bulls. They have the greatest capacity for love I've ever seen in a dog. Bear likes everyone. Savannah LOVES everyone. We are all going crazy without her. Bear is heartbroken. He sits in her crate and won't come out. But I am determined with every breath in my body to find her. She will be home soon, tormenting her big brother.
This is where you guys come in. I need advice. Anything. If you've lost a pet or even if you haven't and simply have a suggestion, please let us know. We would move heaven and earth to get our little girl back. This is what all we've done:
Every single lost dog website you can imagine, she's on.
Fliers all over town.
Filed a police report.
Craigslisted her as missing.
Called animal shelters.
Talked to neighbors.
Driven around so much we've wasted 2 tanks of gas in one day.
We're going to try and get on the news for the lost dog segment.
We're actually going to (I can't begin to tell you how weird this is, but she's found a lot of dogs) a dog psychic. Yeah. A dog psychic. She's located TONS of lost dogs. Seriously though... how do you file your taxes? Profession? Psychic dog whisperer. Weird. We're exploring all avenues. I don't care if someone has to read my palm or cut me with her tarot cards, I want my little girl back.
Put out ads in the newspapers.
I mean just about everything you can think of, we're busting our tushies. We've driven around calling her name, squeaking a toy... I know she was stolen. Someone has been stealing pit bulls and boxers from our area. Any advice you can give me would help.
I want my Banana back. Please help our little family.

Galiana and you may Green generated the assumption away from Technical Improvements specific within the its Characteristics viewpoint portion-
I criticized that it significantly faulty assumption regarding the Assistant off Artificial Biology, where We examined the options to achieve your goals (unanticipated developments) from inside the Opportunity Secretary Steven Chu’s quest to produce “last age bracket” biofuels.
Is also an experience-contributed approach end unsafe climate alter? I recommended such as an insurance policy included in the dos009 Copenhagen Opinion towards Weather, in which a section out of leading economists rated 15 plan solutions to help you internationally home heating. The analyses show that collective pollutants in line with reducing an upswing for the worldwide temperatures (environment stabilization) can be done by paying Us $one hundred million annually for the rest of the fresh 100 years into the worldwide energy RD, review, demo and you can system.
It is entirely best for all of us to inquire of how throwing $100 million a year during the environment mitigation situation quantity to a vow, since if by the fiat, that requisite wonders arise. As the Kenneth Boulding pointed out in the 1980-
You will find an excellent nonexistence theorem on prediction in this field, in the same way that in case we are able to expect that which we are planning to discover sooner or later later, we could possibly not have to hold off, to have we could possibly know it now. This isn’t stunning, ergo, your high tech change never have been forecast, neither the introduction of gas and oil, neither the auto, neither the device.
It is not to state we are going to not reach any very important breakthroughs, for some miracles could exists. Beyond this, there was simply handwaving.
Together with annual $a hundred billion are going to be spent, to possess otherwise our very own chance-what they try, when they not zero-certainly will become decreased
It is not surprising that the Assumption of Technological Progress gives rise to a paradox: if technological progress is guaranteed (i.ees “for free”), we need not try very hard to make technological progress happen! This completes the circle of inaction that we witnessed most recently at Copenhagen, where no binding CO2 reduction targets were specified.
So, as the expectation of technological advances (and concomitant economic increases) has actually powered vow one of those exactly who trust weather minimization can be done, it has in addition retarded work to really generate advances when you look at the addressing the problem.
These types of presumptions are robust over the circumstances utilized by this new IPCC
Risky Presumptions, a characteristics feedback of the environment researchers Roger Pielke Jr., Tom Wigley and bbpeoplemeet price you can Christopher Green, contends one “the newest technical improves wanted to stabilize carbon emissions tends to be more than we believe.” These types of boffins claim that a lot of the brand new technical alter called for meet up with emissions objectives is expected to happen in an instant over time-
Here i demonstrate that two thirds or even more of the many energy efficiency improvements and you can decarbonization of energy also have necessary to balance out carbon dioxide is incorporated into this new IPCC source conditions. The reason being brand new issues suppose some impulsive scientific alter and you may related decarbonization. Thus, brand new IPCC implicitly assumes that the majority of the situation away from cutting future emissions will occur from the absence of weather regulations. We believe these assumptions are hopeful at the best and you may unachievable at worst, potentially absolutely underestimating the scale of one’s technical problem regarding the stabilizing greenhouse-energy levels.
Regarding the Operating Group III declaration [on the 2007 Next Evaluation Declaration (AR4)], the newest IPCC observes one to “there is a serious technical change and diffusion of the latest and you will state-of-the-art tech currently presumed about baselines”
But exactly how much try “significant”? The new median of the reference issues sensed by IPCC AR4 (righthand club, Fig. 1), means dos,011 gigatonnes away from carbon dioxide within the cumulative emissions decrease to help you balance atmospheric carbon-dioxide levels around 500 parts for every mil (the latest blue and you will red servings of your own AR4 club). So it [median] circumstance and additionally assumes that 77% with the cures (the newest blue bit) occurs spontaneously, just like the remaining 23% (the reddish piece) would need direct principles concerned about decarbonization.

Applicable Analysis and Discrete Mathematics is the successor of Publikacije Elektrotehničkog fakulteta – Serija Matematika. The journal Publications of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering – Series Mathematics and Physics was founded in the year 1956 by Professor Dragoslav S. Mitrinović. In the beginning, each contribution appeared separately bound, and numbered consecutively, several times a year (from 1(1956) till 29(1959)). Since the year 1959, the issues have been appearing collected in one or more volumes per year, with numbers of the first and last paper in the volume, like 84-91(1963). The last volume in Series Mathematics and Physics was 735-762(1982).
In the first years, the journal had contributions from different fields apart from Mathematics: Physics, Mechanics, Electrical Engineering. Papers were written in the Serbian, French, Russian, German and English language. In the course of time, the journal focused almost exclusively on Mathematics, especially convexity, functional equations and differential equations, and English language became dominant.
During years 1983-1989, the journal stopped appearing. In 1990, it was decided to renew the journal, in the form of Series Mathematics, which would publish peer-reviewed mathematical papers written in English. Nowadays, the publishing rate is one volume per year, and volumes are being numbered consecutively, starting from 1(1990).
Since 2005, the papers accepted for publication have been put on the Internet site of the journal before being published.
Starting with the volume 3(1992), the journal has had an international editorial board, whose members are distinguished mathematicians in their fields of research.
The Problem section has been appearing since the volume 2(1992).
Applicable Analysis and Discrete Mathematics is indexed, abstracted and cover-to cover reviewed in: Mathematical Reviews/MathSciNet, Zentralblatt für Mathematik, Referativny Zhurnal-VINITI, and included in DOAJ (Directory of Open Access Journals).

The 411 bender is the second manual bender in our lineup. It’s capable of bending tubes from 1/8 to 1″ OD up to 180 degrees using 6,785 lb-in torque via manually operated rotary draw.
Efficiently sized, the 411 machine can be mounted on a workbench or can be purchased with one of our floor stands available in several lengths and with optional rail and carriage assembly.
Tooling is a bend die for each tube OD (TOD) and centerline radius (CLR), a clamp die for the TOD, and a pressure/follower die for the TOD. If your bend requires mandrel support, we offer mandrels, mandrel rods, and bench-mounted mandrel rod bracket. This bender can also support wiper dies with an optional wiper die bracket.
This 411 bending machine offers excellent performance and ROI and it’s made to last and made in the U.S.A.

Most owners of closely held businesses invest decades of sweat, risk, and sacrifice into their businesses. Business success may already have brought you a personal sense of achievement and significant financial rewards. However, what happens when you exit your business, and you reach your end zone, likely defines your career too.
Your exit should be the crowning achievement of a career, the fulfillment of financial and family dreams, the next chapter in a business legacy. It is a cause for celebrating—for dancing in the end zone.
If your exit strategy is to pass your business to family members, we call that the “Passer’s Strategy.”
A Passer’s defining motivation is to smoothly transfer the business to a successor family member or members. As long as personal financial security and freedom are achieved, most Passers are not concerned about getting “maximum value” for the business. You act from the heart rather than the wallet.
Contrary to selling the business to an outside or an inside buyer, Passers encounter different sets of challenges and inherent strengths that they must face. They must find answers to questions such as, “How do I guarantee my kids don’t blow it?” and “how can I be fair to children not actively working in the family business?” Woven into these questions and issues are family dynamics, relationships, and realities.

Your home is a huge investment and your mortgage terms can affect your budget for years to come. Below are a few things to consider as you shop for the best loan for your needs. Keep in mind, these are just suggestions. Speaking with a mortgage professional is the best way to get a clear picture of mortgage loan options, down payments and more.
Estimate Your Monthly Payment
Check Your Credit Score
Your credit score can directly impact what mortgage loans and interest rates you may be eligible for, so work on getting it as high as you can before starting to shop around for a home. You can request a copy of your score through one of the three major credit bureaus: Equifax®, Experian® or TransUnion®.
Create a Budget and Start Saving for a Down Payment
There are several costs built into purchasing a home. The biggest expense to start planning for may be your down payment. While there may be loan programs with little to no down payment, many mortgage loans will require you to put down at least 20% of the total price of the home if you want to avoid additional monthly fees and expenses. The larger your down payment, the more of your home you will own from day one, providing you built-in equity!
Once you’ve started saving for your down payment, you may want to assess your budget to determine what you may be able to afford. Online resources and tools, such as mortgage calculators, can help give you an idea of what your mortgage payment might be based on the hypothetical amounts you enter for the loan amount, down payment amount, interest rate, loan term, taxes and insurance.
Consider Other Expenses
Keep in mind there may be other expenses you’ll incur throughout the home buying process, such as inspection, appraisal and closing costs. In addition, there may be additional expenses once you close on your new home, such as furniture and appliance purchases or landscaping.
Shop Around for a Mortgage Loan
To secure financing for your home, you can work with a bank or credit union in your area, a lender, a mortgage banker, or a mortgage broker who will research lenders for you. You may want to research the current interest rate averages for the area, as well as various loan programs that may be available so you can compare quotes and estimates from different brokers, bankers or lenders.
There are several different types of mortgage loan programs that may be available. Therefore, it can be beneficial to research what programs you may qualify for in advance — especially if you’re a first-time homebuyer. Some common mortgage options may be Conventional (Conventional or Jumbo), VA, FHA or USDA. And if you’re financially able and willing to pay cash, you may avoid interest and closing costs altogether!
While these are common mortgage options, take time to meet with one or more mortgage professionals to review all of your possible options. Your mortgage professional will work with you to help find the best loan option for your needs and circumstances. Determine Your Mortgage Repayment Term
As part of shopping for mortgage loan options, you will need to determine your mortgage repayment term, which are commonly set at 15, 20 or 30 years. You will also need to choose a fixed or adjustable interest rate. Adjustable rate loans may provide lower initial rates, but can rise over time depending on market conditions. With a fixed rate loan, your rate will stay the same over the course of your mortgage loan. Get Pre-Qualified or Pre-Approved for a Loan
The terms pre-qualified and pre-approved may be used interchangeably or inconsistently by various mortgage professionals. More important than what the mortgage professional calls it, is what the mortgage professional reviews in order to provide it to you. Getting either pre-qualified or pre-approved for a loan may give you a better estimate of a loan program you may qualify for if certain conditions are met and based on the level or review by the mortgage professional. Obtaining either a pre-qualification or pre-approval tends to show homebuyers and their real estate agents that you are serious about buying a house, which may help make your offer more appealing. To get either pre-approved or pre-qualified, your mortgage professional will assess your credit history, current income and debt situation. Once completed, they can give you an estimate of how much you may be able to borrow, which is subject to certain conditions and final loan approval. Once you’ve been pre-qualified or pre-approved for a mortgage loan, you will know how much you can spend and you can begin the search for the perfect home!
Seek Final Loan Approval
After your offer has been accepted, you will submit financial documentation, such as pay stubs, tax returns and bank account statements to your mortgage professional to seek final loan approval. At this time, the mortgage professional can schedule an appraisal to ensure the home is valued at least at its selling price. You may also want or be required to obtain a property inspection to assess the condition of the home prior to purchase. Once the appraisal and inspection are complete and the final loan approval is obtained, it’s closing day — and the home is officially yours!

There are two key differences when considering SEO or PPC. The first is that paid ads appear at the top of the page, above the organic listings influenced by SEO. The second is that traffic from organic via SEO is free, whereas traffic from PPC has a cost for each click. In many cases, SEO and PPC work best when integrated and strategically aligned. It’s been said before, but it bears repeating: Traffic is the lifeblood of any online undertaking. The success of an online business greatly depends on the amount of traffic it can generate for its pages. This is an indubitable fact.
What is subject to a lot of debate, however, is the matter of SEO vs. PPC, two of the most powerful traffic generating approaches. SEO stands for search engine optimization. PPC stands for pay per click. Though their end goal is the same, they are different concepts that require different techniques and methodologies.
When Is It Best To Use SEO?
SEO refers to a group of techniques that are aimed to propel a website to the first page of the major search engines.
SEO is very important for online businesses, as statistics show that 80% of the traffic that can be generated for any website will come from the search engines.
The biggest search engine is undoubtedly Google, which garners more than 3.5 billion searches per day; hence, most SEO campaigns target this specific search engine.
When Is It Best To Use PPC?
Now we go to the other side of the SEO vs. PPC debate.
Pay-per-click marketing is a method of advertising on search engine results pages. Basically, you bid to have your ads appear in the sponsored results when someone types in a query including your keywords.
Why is it named “pay per click”? Because you have to pay for every user who clicks on the ad you are promoting.
SEO: Improve your organic traffic
What are the pros and cons of organic traffic from search engines? Let’s begin with the pros:
Awareness. Visibility in search engines for your targeted keywords puts your business in front of potential customers in much the same way as if you were to advertise, and it drives brand awareness.
Branding. Visibility around commercial search terms and informational queries related to your business area can have a positive branding benefit. Your brand can become associated with and trusted by searchers who are asking questions as they conduct the research that will lead to a purchase. You can become an authoritative voice around a given topic.
Credibility and trust. Having your site return in the organic results can influence your perceived credibility with an audience looking for your services. Many users skip ads and trust organic results more highly. Being visible gives your business that all-important stamp of approval. Also having strong review and reputation signals in place will deliver further benefit.
Website traffic. Increasing website traffic provides you with more opportunities to drive awareness of your business and educate a prospect as to why they would buy from you.
Cost per click. Traffic from organic search is free… sort of. Developing that visibility will take time and effort (money), but there is not a direct charge for each impression or click.
Return on investment (ROI). Organic search engine traffic can provide an improved ROI over traditional forms of paid media and certainly improve upon PPC.
Cost. While SEO is neither cheap nor easy, it will generally be more cost-effective than all other marketing tactics for delivering brand awareness and relevant traffic to your website.
Sustainability. Unlike paid search marketing, organic traffic does not dry up the moment you stop paying. As such, efforts to develop organic traffic can sustain a business when marketing spend is cut back.
Improved click-through rate (CTR). A higher percentage of users click on the organic results. While there are exceptions to this rule, you will generate more clicks from a highly placed organic listing than from a highly placed paid ad.
More clicks overall. To maximize visibility and clicks, you will want to have listings in the paid and organic results. Keyword-level experimentation is needed here to see if you are paying for clicks you would get for free or increasing overall clicks and CTR in both paid and organic — but to truly maximize results, strong visibility in paid and organic is needed.
Scope. There are so many new queries every day that to maximize scope, you will need strong organic visibility. You will not want to pay for all kinds of clicks either or advertise every piece of content on your website.
Strategic advantage. Visibility in organic search is not quick or easy — which is a good and a bad thing. Once you have established yourself in the organic results, your competitors can’t simply buy their way in (assuming you have done things the right way). This can provide a strategic advantage over the competition if they are relying on paid search.
It is not all sunshine and rainbows, though, and there are certainly cons to SEO. In many cases, organic traffic can be slow to come by, and you may be wildly outgunned. If you are just starting out, and the keywords you are targeting show results dominated by titans like Amazon and eBay, then you may need to rethink your strategy.
You may also need to develop content assets to achieve strong organic visibility. Not all businesses have the in-house resources to tackle content development, and this can pose a problem. Tactics such as safe, sustainable link building can be difficult to master, and often, a strategy is needed, along with expert support.
Organic traffic may also largely come in via informational or pre-purchase research queries. This is valuable traffic, but a more staged approach may be required to nurture those users to a purchase. This is a cornerstone activity in digital marketing; however, it is not always easy, and it is not a good fit for all businesses.
PPC: Laser-targeted visibility
How does paid search differ from organic search? With click-through rates and trust heavily stacked in favor of organic search, why would a business look at paid search? Here are some of the benefits PPC offers:
Position on the page. Paid search dominates above-the-fold content. With typically four ads on desktop and three on mobile, a user will always see the paid search ads, even if they choose to scroll past them.
Improved ads. PPC ads are just that: advertisements. As such, you have far more granular control and more space for delivering your marketing messages. Calls, locations, sitelinks, pricing and bullet points (callouts) are just some of the options for creating ads that dominate the page.
Brand visibility. Running paid search advertisements gets you seen by the right people. Even if they back off and conduct a brand search before clicking to your site, that visibility will pay dividends to your marketing.
Budget. PPC allows for a tight control of budget. Determine how much you are willing to spend per day (ideally with some initial and ideal ideas of returns), and set that fixed limit.
Targeting. PPC provides a laser-targeted way to get in front of potential customers. Ads can be targeted by search keywords, time of day, day of the week, geography, language, device and audiences based on previous visits. Organic traffic, by comparison, is far more scattershot.
Speed. While developing good organic visibility can take time, a PPC campaign can be created in days and ramped up in weeks. There is no faster way to get in front of customers at the very moment they are primed to buy than paid search engine advertising.
Agile. Speed provides agility. Want to test a new product? A new marketing message? You can get rapid feedback on a new product launch (or minimum viable product) by running a short PPC ad campaign.
Marketing intelligence. Where organic largely hides keyword data in the name of privacy, there is no such restriction with paid search. With conversion tracking and a solid integration with analytics software (like Google Analytics), we can determine what keywords convert and at what percentage and cost. This intelligence can be fed directly into organic search (SEO) marketing and can inform all other advertising to improve results across the board.
A/B testing. Easily split-test ads, landing pages, and even call-to-action buttons to determine where the very best results lie. Again, this information can be fed back into all other digital (and traditional) marketing endeavors.
Stability. AdWords does not suffer the same turbulence that the organic results can suffer from. There are changes, but they tend to have a far lower impact and are more easily managed. Careful use of match types and analysis of the search term reports allow for the removal of junk search and an increase in ROI over time.
Cost. Despite what many advertisers believe, a PPC account that’s well set up and managed can be a low-cost way to generate leads for your business. If you are a local business targeting a small geographic area and a small set of keywords, you may find that you can generate more than enough leads without breaking the bank. Additionally, over time, accounts can be further optimized to drive down costs and increase return.
As with organic search, there are many benefits to paid search advertising or PPC. However, there are also some pitfalls for advertisers to be wary of.
PPC can be expensive. It is not always the case, but costs can quickly add up. If you are targeting entire countries or running international campaigns, those costs can spiral.
Paid search advertising is, as the name suggests, paid — so it requires constant investment. Stop paying the piper, and your ads go away and your lead generation dries up. So long as you have a solid acquisition cost, then this should not be a problem, but in contrast to SEO, it can feel like a bad deal. Of course, SEO should be ongoing to keep the opposition at bay, but organic traffic can be a little more robust.
There are various options for search advertising with PPC, and making smart choices here will influence results. If you see product listings dominating the screen for your keywords, then text ads may not perform so well. Likewise, if you run product ads, and only text ads are returned, then these ads may not deliver the goods.
It is not unusual to get into bidding wars with other advertisers, which can drive costs up. As you start to run your ads, often you are taking a bite out of some other advertisers’ digital apple. Doing so can result in some spiraling costs.
Strategically, PPC is relatively easy to copy. If a competitor notices you are running ads, they can run ads. Your messaging can be imitated. Your entire funnel can be easily evaluated by competitors. This is the digital marketing landscape, and you have to accept that to some extent.
Successful PPC needs skilled management and optimization — from monitoring bids, Quality Scores, positions and click-through rates. Some of this can be done with scripts, but if you are too busy to do this properly, ensure you have an expert on hand to take care of keeping your account in tip-top shape.
SEO or PPC?
It’s just not possible to answer this question without taking the unique situation of a given business into consideration.
A hyper-local business with little competition and a requirement for just a few leads per week could likely develop good visibility in the local and organic search results with a little spend or some DIY SEO.
A new e-commerce store that is competing with a page of results from Amazon, eBay and other major department stores and online retailers is likely going to struggle in organic search (in the short term, at least).
Do you need leads now? Are you looking at the long game? Do you have much in the way of website authority? What is the competition like in organic search? What is the cost per click in paid search?
A clear digital marketing strategy and clear short- and long-term goals are essential in making an SEO or PPC decision here.
SEO and PPC
In an ideal world, we would look at both SEO and PPC. They both have pros and cons and work best when supporting each other synergistically. Where you can get SEO and PPC working together, you will often be able to drive results that are greater than their component parts.
The benefits of running SEO and PPC together include:
- Keyword and conversion data from PPC can be fed into organic search (SEO).
- The total volume of traffic can be increased by targeting clicks in paid and organic for high-performing keywords.
- High-cost keywords, high-volume or low-converting (yet still important) keywords can be moved from PPC to organic search.
- A/B testing of ad copy and landing pages can be fed into your organic listing and landing pages.
- Remarketing allows you to stay in front of visitors after an initial touch via organic search and customize messaging around their engagement with your site.
- Test your keyword strategy in PPC before committing to long-term SEO strategies.
- Target users at all stages of the customer journey from research to comparison to purchase with commercial keywords.
- Increase confidence and awareness by having both strong organic and paid visibility.
In our experience with hundreds of businesses, an integrated search strategy that looks at both SEO and PPC is the optimal approach. Results are improved in each channel by utilizing both paid and organic. This will not be right for every business, but for high-growth, aggressive marketing, you will want to develop a holistic search engine strategy rather than look at SEO or PPC in isolation.

Dr Felicity Rickshaw
Picture Credit: Holland St Productions
Having thoroughly enjoyed Holland St Productions Gutenberg! The music in belated 2016, my partner and I were looking towards their Fringe World performance of Dr. Felicity Rickshaw's Celebrity Sex celebration, during the Flaming Locomotive in the State Theatre Centre.
Upon going into the room, we had been welcomed because of the picture of Dr Felicity Rickshaw hard in the office on her behalf laptop computer, definitely amid creating another erotic epic. While we waited when it comes to stragglers to arrive, Dr Rickshaw caressed her secrets while the woman Russian pianist Viktor pounded away in music accompaniment. Plus that final phrase there's at the least several prospective dual entendres that Dr Rickshaw would without doubt have pounced upon without mercy.
Even though Dr. Felicity Rickshaw's Celebrity Sex celebration does not have any hesitation in striking below the buckle and going down in bar of great style, it really is far from a smutty collection of sex jokes. Really, is fair there was a lot of that too, nevertheless the trips into depths of sexual depravity make the unexpectedly embarrassing and touching moments even more going.
There is even more to this story than a person might anticipate from title, well-done into the playwrights, songsters additionally the cast just who make four individuals and a pianist help!
I do not believe I am able to do justice towards smouldering dialog (and I probably could not replicate anything enjoy it from the page without having this review spontaneously combust), however the cast handle it with aplomb, whilst music numbers are both smart and catchy (although I'll never view everything with Colin Firth in it once again without a mental snigger or two, well done dudes you've totally ruined appreciate really in my situation!).
Clocking in at a quick 55 minutes, Dr. Felicity Rickshaw's Celebrity Intercourse celebration is rude, crude, lewd and not the prude. But it undoubtedly gets you into the state of mind and I also heartily conclude it must be viewed.

Recently a radically new biophysical theory of action potentials has been proposed, which I will call here the “soliton theory”, according to which action potential propagation is a travelling pulse (soliton) of membrane (lipidic) lateral density, i.e., a sound wave along the axon membrane (Heimburg and Jackson, 2005; Andersen et al., 2009). In this theory, the lipid membrane undergoes a phase transition, from liquid to gel, which propagates along the axon. The electrical spike is then attributed to piezoelectric effects (mechanical changes inducing electrical potential changes). No role is attributed to proteins (ionic channels).
I start with some positive comments. Usually only the electrochemical aspects of neural excitability are considered in the field. But it is known that the electrical phenomenon is accompanied by mechanical, optical and thermal effects, which are the main focus of the soliton theory. The theory also has the merit of bringing attention to non-electrical phenomena in biological membranes, such as structural changes and mechanical effects, which are typically ignored in the field.
The theory appears to be motivated by the observation of reversible heat release during the action potential, i.e., heat is released in the rising phase of the spike and absorbed in the falling phase. Quantitatively, release and absorption have the same magnitude (experimental precision being in the range of 10-20% according to the original papers). This is not explained by HH theory. It does not mean, however, that it is contradictory with HH theory; rather, it would require some additional mechanism that is not part of the theory (there are some speculations in the literature, by Hodgkin, Keynes, Tasaki, and probably others). HH theory does not directly address mechanical changes accompanying the spike, but it does imply mechanical changes by at least two plausible mechanisms: 1) osmotic effects, i.e., water enters the cell along with Na+ influx, and exist with K+ outflux, leading to a diameter variation in phase with the spike (see e.g. (Kim et al., 2007); 2) an electrical field applied on the membrane can change the curvature of the membrane. The appeal of the soliton theory is that a sound wave produces reversible heat and mechanical variations; electrical variation is attributed to piezoelectric effects and therefore all these effects should be in phase. Thus in a way, it has some theoretical elegance. Of course, the actual biophysical mechanisms are not necessary elegant.
Let us now examine the premises and predictions of the theory. First, it is assumed that the lipidic membrane is close to a melting transition, which the authors claim occurs slightly below the body temperature of 37°C. It is rather surprising to read this starting point when the theory is meant to address the shortcomings of the HH model. Let us recall that the HH model is a model of the giant axon of squid, which is a cold-blooded animal living in the ocean. Body temperature is thus much colder and variable. But this is not the most problematic aspect of the theory; let us assume for now that the squid membrane does have the required property.
The main quantitative prediction of the theory is conduction velocity, which follows from membrane properties, and it is calculated to be around 100 m/s. The conclusion is that there is “a minimum velocity of the solitons that is close to the propagation velocity in myelinated nerves”. First, the squid axon is not myelinated (it is anyway not clear why the theory should apply to myelinated nerves rather than unmyelinated ones), and conduction velocity is around 20 m/s. In any case, 100 m/s is not the propagation velocity in myelinated nerves. It is the upper bound of conduction velocity in nerve, which varies over several orders of magnitude and is much smaller for most axons. It actually varies with diameter, quite in line with predictions from HH and cable theory (scaling with square root of diameter for unmyelinated axons; with diameter for myelinated axons). One of the main predictions of the 1952 HH paper where the model is described is conduction velocity, which is accurate within 20% (Hodgkin and Huxley, 1952); to be compared with 500% error in the soliton theory. The prediction was calculated as follows (see chapter 3 of my book in progress): the HH model was built and fitted on a space-clamped (isopotential) squid axon; then it was extended to a model of propagating spike with the cable formalism, ie by adding the axial current term (based on measurement of diameter and intracellular resistivity); then the model was run and a conduction velocity of around 20 m/s was found.
If one of the main predictions of the soliton theory is a minimum conduction velocity of around 100 m/s, then it is definitely wrong. There are of course many other aspects of the theory that are very problematic. HH theory is essentially the ionic hypothesis, ie the idea that changes in membrane potential are due to ionic and capacitive transmembrane currents. There have been numerous quantitative tests of this hypothesis, such as: the peak of the spike is well predicted by the Nernst potential of Na+, the influx of Na+ and outflux of K+ per spike (measured with radioactive tracers) are predicted by the HH model; fluorescence imaging now shows influxes of Na+ in phase with spikes. Early work by HH and colleagues have showed that the squid axon is inexcitable when extracellular Na+ is replaced by choline. All this body of work, which includes many accurate quantitative predictions of HH theory, is contradictory with the soliton theory. The authors seem to deny the existence of ionic channels, which is extremely strange. The detailed molecular and genetic structure of ionic channels is known, as well as their electrophysiological properties (see e.g. (Hille, 2001)); drugs targetting Na+ channels (for which there is huge empirical evidence) block action potentials. There is also the Na/K pump, a major contributor of energy consumption in neurons, which maintains the Na+/K+ concentration gradients necessary in the ionic hypothesis, and which seems totally absurd in the soliton theory.
As it stands, the soliton theory of spikes is contradictory with an extremely large body of experimental evidence, which is explained by HH theory (ie the ionic hypothesis) (note that there have been a number of alternative theories, eg by Ling and Tasaki).
Update (21.7.2016): A great resource about the evidence in favor of the ionic hypothesis is (Hodgkin, 1951). There is in fact a section dealing with heat production, where it is by the way noted that overall nerve activity does produce heat, but a quite small amount. It is also clear in the text that heat production in the ionic hypothesis is not that of the equivalent electrical circuit that is used to present the HH model – which is only equivalent in terms of the mathematical equations describing the currents, not physically. That is, the axial current does follow the expectation from the electrical circuit, since in the theory it is due to the electrical field in an electrolyte, but not the transmembrane current, which corresponds to mixing of extra- and intra-cellular solutions in addition to field effects (plus the at the time unknown mechanisms of permeability changes).

Yesterday afternoon a close friend called me up and asked if I could take her ticket to the Christina Perri/Jason Mraz concert later that evening. I am not a big concert goer and don’t listen to either of the artists often, but I figured maybe one of the best concert experiences is one where you can completely immerse yourself in something new and unexpected. I had also been meaning to check out Merriweather Post Pavillion for awhile, so I pulled myself off the couch and decided to go. I was joined by three great friends and the night ended up exceeding all of my expectations. Both musicians were so incredibly talented and most of the songs were filled with ideas of hope and positivity. The lyrics felt like a personal reminder to focus on what’s truly important and one of my old time favorites, “The Remedy” by Jason Mraz, was especially powerful:
Here are a couple of my favorite shots from the night:
What concerts are you guys excited to see this fall? I need to start making a list of shows to see!

Analysis of opinion dynamics over a realistic dynamic social network – report of a successful TNA experience
Author: Elisabetta Biondi - IIT CNR
I took the opportunity of the SoBigData++ Transnational Access to develop a collaboration with the CEU research unit directed by János Kertész in Vienna (Austria) on the program titled “Analysis of opinion dynamics over a realistic dynamic social network”. I was hosted for three weeks in the Department of Network and Data Science and worked closely with the unit. We ended up with very interesting results that we plan to summarize in a conference paper shortly.
This opportunity has been of great importance because it enriched me with a different approach to analyzing the polarization of the opinion dynamics models, adding a new dimension of complexity to my previous knowledge. Also, it allowed me to be part of a different research context and thus to have many new stimuli for my future research.
The program's objective was to develop a realistic opinion dynamics model over a dynamic social network and investigate its impact in terms of polarization. More precisely, we used the Friedkin-Johnsen (FJ) opinion dynamic model, one of the most popular, validated in real social groups. The project aimed to extend the FJ model, which works on static networks, to include a rewiring scheme, also known as partner-switching, in which a node replaces one of its neighbors with another if some conditions hold. In fact, it has been proved that this is not realistic in general, because, depending on the strength of the tie or the importance of the issue, opinions do impact the social network itself. This is even more understandable if we consider the current Ukrainian crisis, where entire families are broken down, split into those who stay for Ukraine and those who stay for Russia. Furthermore, we wanted to analyze how the network's dynamicity impacts the model's polarization properties.
We developed a rewiring policy for the FJ model with opinions in [-1,1]: depending on the probability of rewiring prew that simply tells at what timestamps the rewiring process is applied, an edge whose endpoints disagree (i.e., with opinions that satisfy |x_i-x_j |> θ, where θ is a threshold parameter) is cut and replaced it with one that connects nodes that agree.
To measure the polarizing effect, we designed a polarization metric, which “calls” highly polarized a network for which there are two different opinions clusterized into two highly connected communities. It is composed of two dimensions: the bimodality (measured in terms of the bimodality coefficient) of the opinion distribution simply verifies that the opinions are divided into two clusters. The homogeneity, which we defined as the local linear agreement averaged over the network, tests that the two opinion clusters correspond to two clusters in the network topology.
We tested the model with simulations over networks of 20 nodes of different types. Figures 1 and 2 show a set of results for the dynamic FJ model applied with parameters set as prew = 0.9 and θ=0.1 in an Erdosh Reny graph. In Fig. 1, we see how the rewiring process changes the network structure and divides it into two separate clusters. Fig. 2 shows its impact on polarization: homogeneity remains equal to the FJ without rewiring, but the bimodality value greatly increases. This means that, while the FJ without rewiring does not exhibit polarization (because the bimodality is low), the FJ with rewiring reproduces it, and thus it is a realistic opinion dynamics model.
Figure 1: Network configurations and opinions arrangement for FJ with and without rewiring with parameters prew = 0.9 and θ=0.1 at the beginning (A), at the end of the FJ without rewiring (B), at the end of the FJ with rewiring (C) and at the end of the FJ with rewiring and reshuffling opinions over the network (D).
Figure 2: Polarization values for FJ with and without rewiring with parameters prew = 0.9 and θ=0.1 for each scenario considered.
In conclusion, in this extraordinary experience, we have designed a dynamic version of the FJ. We have designed a new definition of polarization that considers both the distribution of opinions and the network topology. We have tested the impact of the model with simulations over two types of networks, and we have seen that the rewiring process has significant effects on polarization.

Six years before Jacob Blake was shot and critically injured by police in Kenosha, Wisconsin, the city made national headlines for a case that became the impetus for groundbreaking reforms concerning the use of deadly force. “Could it help provide a new faith in the justice system?” The New York Times asked at the time. Those reforms, however, were narrowly focused on making changes to how law enforcement investigates its own, the kind of reform strategy that once may have seemed like enough. On Sunday, when police shot Blake, a 29-year-old Black man, as he walked back to the car where his children reportedly sat waiting for him, it wasn’t a failure of reform but evidence of what a reform really does: It makes some changes, but it keeps in place law enforcement’s most central and lethal power.
Groups like Campaign Zero are emblematic of this approach. The organization’s “8 Can’t Wait” (or #8CantWait) campaign was released at the height of a national uprising over the police who killed George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and Ahmaud Arbery. It offered eight proposals, like banning chokeholds and requiring a warning before shooting, which campaigners said would reduce police killings by 72 percent. The campaign was seen by abolitionists—the organizers and activists calling for an end to prisons, policing, and the carceral state—as an effort to water down their own demands. (After overwhelming opposition from the left, some of #8CantWait’s architects pulled back, and a graphic recommending “abolition” was added to the campaign website, alongside the original eight proposals.)
Focused on regulating which types of force police could used and how, and how to report the aftermath, #8CantWait seemed to assume that police would continue to kill. And in fact, that’s what the reforms had yielded elsewhere. Abolitionists and others pointed out that the country’s largest police forces had already implemented the vast majority of the recommendations, yet killings continued. The reforms #8CantWait proposed didn’t meaningfully confront or limit that lethal power but rather gave new policy frameworks under which police could continue to justify killing.
Some of the other broader police reforms supported by Campaign Zero are either already enacted or close to being adopted in Kenosha, like mandating body cameras, which the county board voted in favor of, 22-0, this July. Independent investigations into police killings have been adopted statewide and were driven in part by a Kenosha police killing in 2004. Michael Bell, Jr., a 21-year-old white man, was shot point-blank and killed by an officer, who yelled out that Bell was reaching for another officer’s gun. His sister and mother witnessed this and say they tried to tell the officer that Bell was not.
An investigation was concluded within 48 hours of the shooting in which Kenosha police internal affairs determined the officer had done nothing wrong. Bell’s father then brought in his own investigators. The Bell family brought a civil suit against the city and won a settlement (the department claimed no wrongdoing). With the money, Bell “bought every available billboard in Milwaukee,” All Things Considered reported in 2014. The billboard read, “When police kill, should they judge themselves?” Police unions came to the table, said Bell, but it was only “after we created enough ruckus.” A policy both sides supported was the result, making Wisconsin “the first state in the nation to mandate on a legislative level that if an officer is involved with a loss of life, that outside investigators must come in and collect the data and investigate that shooting.”
The guidelines for independent investigations that followed were greeted optimistically as something that might even inspire other states. It’s one step forward, to no longer allow police officers under the same roof to investigate one another. But “independent” only excludes officers in the same department; still eligible includes those with whom the officers involved may have a conflict of interest. The fate of this independent investigation still comes down to the district attorney, who decides if it will result in indicting an officer.
Inside law enforcement’s own institutions, its systemic abuses are not a secret. When the Wisconsin Supreme Court considered misconduct allegations against a Kenosha district attorney, involving planting evidence in a homicide case, the court’s investigator concluded that “corruption, lies … and deceit existed throughout the entire Kenosha criminal justice system.” It’s this system that is tasked with considering criminal charges against police officers when they kill.
Police defenders are not wrong to identify the institution of policing itself as a target for activists, though they are overstating the degree to which even the modest reforms they oppose could do anything like dismantle law enforcement entirely. In June, Kenosha was the site of one of the “Back the Badge” rallies seen this summer across the country. “This country is under siege. This profession of law enforcement is under siege,” said former Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke, a vocal Trump supporter known for his questionable pins and the rally’s headliner. For Clarke and others joining forces under the banner of Blue Lives Matter, the opposition is police reform of any kind, even when carried out by people who take pains to say nice things about the police. “They’re doing a good job,” an activist calling for reform, while still citing a good working relationship with the Kenosha department, told the local Fox news outlet. “They could do better, but we don’t want David Clarke coming down here and really stirring up what we have going on.”
This cycle of death and reform demands, it seems, has only accelerated this summer. (Not even the coronavirus pandemic has slowed fatal police shootings, according to a new American Civil Liberties Union report, which are on pace with last year.) In Kenosha, the police who shot and severely injured Blake are now under investigation by the state’s Department of Justice. He remains in the hospital. Protesters took to the streets on Sunday, and they’re still there. A local Black Lives Matter activist who goes by Billy Violet told a reporter, “Until this city hears that the officer has been fired or what the update is, the city is going to keep burning.” It sounds like a return to the days immediately following the police killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis, when police cars burned, but it could sound like New York or Ferguson. That’s what drives the sentiment that it’s beyond past the time of softening reform calls with compliments for cops and to acknowledge that, yes, people are coming for the power of police.

Last week, in an encouraging development where Russia’s internal politics are concerned, Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny unveiled a series of “theses” outlining what a post-Putin Russia should look like. In so doing, Navalny finally clarified his position on the one issue that has, for some time now, driven a wedge between him and Western allies, especially those in Ukraine: Russian imperialism—and, more specifically, the fate of Crimea.
Over a series of Twitter posts, Navalny announced that Crimea should be returned to Ukraine, full stop. Navalny wrote that Ukraine’s borders are “similar to Russia’s—[they were] internationally recognized and defined in 1991.” All of the areas of Ukraine that the Kremlin has supposedly “annexed” are, by right and by law, still Ukrainian, including Crimea.
The announcement is the conclusion of a years-long song and dance Navalny and his supporters have performed in relation to the peninsula’s future. For nearly a decade, Navalny’s stance on Crimea has been “ambiguous,” as The Moscow Times recently reported. And while Westerners feted Navalny for his ongoing bravery, Ukrainians were rightly infuriated by his relative coyness about the fate of the peninsula. (When an interviewer asked whether Navalny would, if elected president, return Crimea to Ukraine, Navalny infamously responded, “What, is Crimea a ham sandwich or something that you can take and give back? No, I don’t believe so.”)
Now Navalny has seemingly put the issue to bed. And in so doing, he has finally begun to address the core issue propelling the Russian devastation of Ukraine and the militarized dystopia Putin’s Russia has become: rote imperialism, predicated on conspiratorial resentment, unabashed revanchism, and neocolonial aspirations. After years of trying to shunt the topic of Russian imperialism to the side, Russian liberals appear finally to be waking to the reality that Russian colonialism and Russian chauvinism stand at the core of the country’s collapse into totalitarianism.
Indeed, Navalny further addressed the topic of Russian imperialism within his new series of “theses.” “Does Russia need new territories?” the jailed opposition figure asked. “Russia is a vast country with a shrinking population and dying-out rural areas. Imperialism and the urge to seize territory is the most harmful and destructive path.” This irredentism, as Russian liberals have begun to see, has resulted in unmitigated catastrophe. “Once again, the Russian government is destroying our future with its own hands just in order to make our country look bigger on the map,” Navalny continued. “But Russia is big enough as it is. Our objective should be preserving our people and developing what we have in abundance.”
Naturally, Navalny’s new stance against Russian imperialism is several years late and has only arrived now as a direct result of the Ukrainians’ bottomless bravery in the face of Putin’s monstrous imperial war machine. But there’s no need to look this gift horse in the mouth: This is a sign of a potential, nascent shift in Russian liberals’ awareness of the crimes of Russian colonialism—a first explicit step down the path to finally killing off the death-drive of Russian imperialism.
Navalny isn’t the only anti-Putin figure who’s recently begun addressing this topic. Last month in Politico, exiled Russian opposition figure Mikhail Khodorkovsky unveiled a similar vision for a post-Putin Russia, calling for the country to federalize fully—and potentially even allow nations colonized by Moscow, such as Chechnya, to finally achieve the independence they’ve long sought. To Khodorkovsky, a post-Putin Russia “must be decentralized—that is, united but divisible.”
This “united but divisible” framing is one that, if implemented, could go a significant way toward rectifying the ongoing social fractures left by Russian imperialism—and not just in Ukraine but in Russia itself. (As Russian journalist Alexey Kovalev recently wrote, “As one peels away the defunct layers of Russia’s imperial identity, sooner or later the question of imperialism within Russia’s own borders will come up.”) At a minimum, it is a recognition that the rot of Russian imperialism will continue to devastate Russia, as well as its neighbors, until it is finally expunged from the nation’s collective psyche. Taken in conjunction with Navalny’s new stance, it means that, perhaps for the first time in Russian history, the primary opponents of the Kremlin have finally begun placing Russian imperialism at the center of the country’s ills.
The problem for figures like Navalny and Khodorkovsky lies not in this recognition, however belated it may be, but in whether Russians are ready to hear what they have to say. Putin hardly operates in a vacuum, and there is little indication that the majority of Russians are opposed to his revanchism. Indeed, the single most popular moment of Putin’s presidency came when he initially launched his invasion of Ukraine, and when he seized his first Ukrainian province, in 2014. (There’s a reason Putin’s recent decade in power was built on this so-called “Crimean consensus.”) Even as his invasion turned sour over the past year, Russians have hardly evinced any significant opposition. At best, it remains a nation saturated in apathy—unwilling to face the legacies of Russian colonialism, let alone move against a regime dedicated to shattering Ukraine.
But with Navalny’s and Khodorkovsky’s recent shifts, prominent anti-Putin voices are at least willing to gesture at the imperialistic elephant in the room. And other voices have begun picking up the thread. “I think that Russian culture has a large imperial element, and the time has come to deal with it,” noted Russian sociologist Grigory Yudin said last week. “The collapse of an empire is a good moment to do that.”
Yudin is exactly right. And the good news is that this is a model we’ve seen play out successfully, time and again across the European continent, when listing European empires finally realized their best days of colonization were behind them. It’s a pattern we saw emerge in France after Algeria’s triumph, in the Netherlands after Indonesia’s anti-colonial victory, in Portugal after Angola and Mozambique secured their independence. Over and again, the shock of military defeat has ruptured the dreams of dying European empires—and set these former empires on a path toward eventual democratization.
In Ukraine, the pattern is playing out once more. And thanks to the sacrifice of Ukrainians, Russian liberals are realizing what’s long been evident: Putin’s imperialism, and any efforts at renewed empire, will only condemn Russia to repeat a centuries-long cycle of desolation and autocracy. As these anti-Putin figures may now be recognizing, the time has finally come to eject this irredentist streak from the Russian body politic—to forget Crimea, and to forget these dreams of empire, once and for all.

A family road trip can be an exciting, educational and memorable summertime experience. From Victoria to St. John’s, Canada has countless roadside attractions to visit, places to set up camp and sights to see.
While road trips can be a lot of fun, not planning in advance could have consequences.
“Mapping out a road trip in detail can help make it an unforgettable adventure,” says Ryan Michel, senior vice president and chief risk officer at Allstate Insurance Company of Canada. “Finding out halfway through your trip that you’ve forgotten essential supplies can put a damper on the experience.”
The first consideration is your route. Think about the attractions you may want to visit and confirm that each place will be open when you plan to stop by. Plan a schedule that includes how long it will take to reach each destination.
Consider the types of weather you’re likely to encounter and pack accordingly. Also ensure you’ve packed other essentials like any prescription medication that might be needed while you’re on your trip.
Before heading out on any trip, ensure your vehicle is up to the task. Michel offers the following tips to help you prepare:
1. Book an appointment with your mechanic a few weeks prior to your departure to confirm everything is in proper working order.
2. Check or top up your vehicle’s fluids (including oil and washer fluid).
3. Ensure your tires have been inspected and filled to the correct pressure.
4. Check that you have a spare tire and jack in the vehicle and learn how to change a tire in case of a flat.
5. If planning to travel outside of Canada, verify with your insurance provider that your coverage extends into all locations you plan to visit.
“Depending on your route or destination, it’s best to check your insurance coverage before you hit the road,” says Michel. “Keep a copy of your most up-to-date documentation in your glove box so it’s accessible in case of the unexpected.”

I like to utilize a cognitive behavioral approach in order to explore how our thoughts are impacting the feelings we are having, as well as the choices we are making. I believe that it is first important to recognize the areas of life we struggle through in order to promote positive changes. I also offer Christian based counseling to those who are interested. I truly want to connect to each client I see, as I believe that connection is one of the most important aspects of the counseling process. I am currently offering a limited number of reduced rate spots on my caseload.
I completely understand how difficult it can be to begin the counseling journey. It is not easy to open up to people, let alone someone you have never met before. Even considering entering the world of counseling is so brave and courageous, and truly demonstrates strength and resiliency. I hope to help clients see all the positive qualities that they hold in an effort to promote genuine self-love. Along with Sharp Wellness, I previously worked as a Crisis Intervention Counselor at a high school, which has given me a wide range of experience in counseling adolescents. When I am away from work, I enjoy spending time with my husband and two dogs, as well as being around my family and close friends. I thrive near sunshine and water, and truly love great conversation that has great food to go along with it. I am passionate about working out, true crime podcasts, and reading a good book.
