Reno's Done! Did I Get What I Want?
In the last post, I talked about what I was hoping would happen if I converted my basement into a separate unit.
Just under 3 months and $10,000 later, the basement was completed and rented. Did I get what I was hoping for through this project? Let's see.
Cash Flow
In the first post, I mentioned how I was hoping to rent it out for $700 / month. It would increase the overall cash flow of the whole property by about $250 (and get my life cash flow just $200 short of breaking even each month).
I probably could have gotten $700. A lot of my friends said I could probably get $750 – $800. However I settled with $600. Why? A few different thoughts:
I was originally planning to have it done and rented for February 1st. However, it took longer than I guessed (it wasn't really an educated guess, but more so of a it should be possible). I was also losing motivation to finish it without a hard deadline and so I needed to create something here.
However, showing it without it being done is difficult. With this person, he was willing to rent it without it completely done, and didn't care for all the final touches.
I've been told to leave a month or two's buffer to find a good tenant. Afterall, tenant selection is the only chance you have in getting a good tenant. After that, it's almost impossible to get a bad tenant out.
Using that, I figured that if I'm lucky, I'll find someone for March 1. However, I should plan as if I'd find someone for Apr 1 instead. That would mean the room would sit empty for 7 weeks – losing almost $1400.
However, since I was able to get my current tenant to sign a prorated February, I'm expected to get just over $1000 for those 7 weeks that this place could be sitting idle. Spread over the course of a year, $1000 is like 10 months worth of $100, the difference between $600 and $700.
He didn't want a year lease. Instead, he was willing to agree to a 10 week notification of termination. Of which, he expects that he'd be moved out before then and will continue to pay rent.
This is an important part for me. Even if I don't rent it out while it's still under him, I could get a contractor to go in, make the final touches that I skimmed over, and have it shown and rented for when he does officially move out.
This means no gap between the two tenants and the ability to then justify the $750 – $800.
My old roommate actually recommended him to me and me to him. I got along quite well with my roommate and trusted his judgement. I also know that his friend was working at the same place, meaning a proper job and, to a certain degree, a specific type of personality.
This made it that much easier for me to trust that the basement will not be totaled.
And most realistically, I just wanted closure from this project. I was tired of it. I did not want to do those final touches – I don't have the patience. I wanted to focus on renting the main floor and starting my journey in finding a job abroad. This was the fastest way to that.
Either way, my cash flow has increased – not to the $250. Maybe closer to $175. But it's increased regardless.
Increase Home Value
Now this was where I was completely taken off guard. In just over a year and a half I've owned this place, the value has gone up over 30%. Moreover, many of the similar homes I've seen do not have basements as modern as mine.
If we were to compare my basement before the reno and after, I was probably below market rate prior (hence why I was able to get it on the cheaper end), and now above market rate. I don't really have any data to work with, but I'll peg the difference to be about $20,000 (and hopefully, that's on the conservative side).
So 3 months and $10,000 in materials for a $20,000 increase? Wouldn't be worth it (that means valuing my time at $3333.33 / month) but…
To Achieve a Future Goal
I wanted to learn how a house works so I can build my own shipping container home in the future. I can proudly say that I am much more confident in making it happen now. Doing everything myself, I can now say I know all the basics required to make a functioning home. As for hidden drawers and maximizing volume? Still to be learned.
Regardless, if I were to reframe this whole thing, I was being paid $3333.33 to learn. I'll take that anytime!
A Place to Live in the Future
I would be more than happy to live in there in the future. Maybe it's because I put my sweat and a hint of blood in it. Or maybe it's because I too, could live without the final touches. Regardless, it's definitely a place I would be willing to call home… more so than the rest of the house actually…
But it's funny… during the last 3 months, I've had lots of time to think. And right now, I don't know if I'll come back to KW after my time abroad. More on that in some other thought piece.
A Distraction
We're emotional creatures. We do things out of emotions and rationalize it afterwards. The distraction was definitely the underlying reason why this project happened. So did it work? Well, I don't think much about my previous job anymore and still didn't take it personally. When it comes to my previous relationship… I'd say so. I'm definitely a lot more at peace with the whole thing, even with all the free time that I've had the last week. So all in all, I'm more emotionally stable and view those two back to back events as my next catalyst of growth.
So now that the whole project is done, the next step is to rent out the main floor. But before then, it's time to recalibrate my life to make sure I'm still walking towards my mission of disrupting the norm and influencing change. How? I'm still figuring that out, but an avenue is going to be through helping people cut their home bills (and help them realize how easy it can be to save money).
Oh, and if you wanted to see more pictures, you can go see my google album.

The island archipelago of Chiloé is celebrated for it's rustic architecture, steaming fish stews, and stunning views, but less so for its luxury lodgings – until now. With the opening of Hotel Refugia on September 1, travelers can now experience this remote island in Southern Chile from the comfort of top-notch accommodation.
Located 20 minutes drive outside of Chiloé's main city, Castro, Hotel Refugia sits atop a hill at the edge of the sea on the banks of the Rilán Peninsula. Chiloé is famous for its palafitos, wooden houses perched on stilts along the waterfront, and the wood-shingled exterior and pillared structure of Hotel Refugia was designed to reflect this traditional style.
The 12 bedrooms of the hotel enjoy large picture windows with ocean views, and each room features textiles and wooden furniture crafted by local artists. The hotel is all-inclusive, with three meals a day from a menu chosen by the chef, bar service, use of the spa, and daily excursions included with the price of your room (US$530 per person for a double occupancy). The hotel has its own 20-person boat for excursions, leading trips to a variety of Chiloé's most treasured sites.
About Chiloé
The Chiloé archipelago is a fascinating place to explore. Named by The New York Times as one of the «45 Places to Go in 2012,» the area is culturally and ethnically distinct from mainland Chile due to years of physical isolation, and is known for its iconic Jesuit churches (14 of which are UNESCO World Heritage sites).
"Just off the west coast of Chile," writes The New York Times, "where the land starts to look as if it had been broken apart by a jackhammer, Chiloé Island – known for its stilt houses, UNESCO-anointed churches, nature preserves, unusual wildlife and raw natural beauty – is getting a facelift."
The "facelift" described here refers to the variety of infrastructure projects now underway on Chiloé. While the island is currently accessible only by ferry, LAN has recently announced plans to offer flights to Castro's Mocopulli airport beginning November 7 (and a stay at Hotel Refugia Chiloé will include roundtrip transportation from the airport).
Until then, the easiest way to reach the island is by bus from Puerto Montt; busses from Puerto Montt to Castro take approximately 3.5 hours and leave every 30 minutes.

A computed tomography (CT) scan is a procedure that uses computer processed tomography to view medical images. A CT scan can create detailed pictures of the brain, spine, chest and abdomen.
What is CT scan used for?
A CT scan can be used during biopsies to direct a surgeon to the correct area that is being examined.
It is also used to diagnose diseases and identify tumors and cancers.
Furthermore, a CT scan may also be used to aid the study of blood vessels.
How is a CT scan performed?
A CT scan is performed by a radiology technologist. The patient needs to lie down on a narrow table that goes into the middle of the CT scan machine. Depending on the part of the body that is being scanned, the patient is required to lie on the back, side or stomach. When the patient is inside the CT scan machine, x-ray beams circle the patient. The quantity of x-rays that are required to scan the body part is measured by small detectors within the scanner. Information from the scanner is taken by a computer that produces individual images called slices. These images are viewed on a monitor and they can be saved and printed. By placing the slices together, three-dimensional images of the organs are produced.
During a CT scan, the patient is required to remain still to generate clear images. If the patient moves during the procedure, it may result in the images being blurred. Additionally, the patient may be required to hold breath for short times.

What way crypto gambling is regulated around the World
2019-11-12 06:59:53
The House of Representatives of Japan recently passed a new regulation on crypto assets affecting exchanges and custodians, the Payment Services Act and the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act. However, the country's crypto-gambling industry still adheres to the strict rules of
However, Japan passed a federal law in July 2018, which allows physical casinos in the country: "Japan will open its offline casino license to major players after the Olympics next year," said Hugh. - It is unclear who will receive the licenses for Tokyo, Osaka, Okinawa and Hokkaido. We believe that online casinos will only follow after the start of the work of an offline casino. "
Japan's endorsement of "integrated resorts" is not yet felt by the cryptocurrency industry. The integrated resort is a comprehensive entertainment complex with a casino, shopping centers, theaters, hotels and theme parks. While Prime Minister Shinzo Abe introduced such casino legislation as part of his overall growth strategy, Japan did not so much welcome
crypto gambling
Crypto Gambling in Japan
Cryptocurrency gambling in Japan is not as widespread as one might think, given the country's track record of introducing cryptocurrency rules at an early stage, which may be due to her experience with the collapse of Mt. Gox, the Japanese cryptocurrency exchange that went bankrupt in 2014.
In early 2019, the Blockchain network Tron, which claims to be building infrastructure for a truly decentralized Internet, blocked gambling apps in its decentralized app store (dapp) in Japan after pressure from Japanese regulators.
actively blocks access to some dapps, which led Tron's chief technology officer and co-founder Lucien Chen to leave the team. He cited a mismatch between the commitment to the throne of decentralization and his actions, which, according to Chen, were more inherent in central education.
How does cryptocurrency gambling work? Blockchain-based gambling, for the most part, occurs in two ways: in a chain and out of a chain.
Over-the-counter cryptocurrency gambling includes physical and online casinos accepting cryptocurrency, mainly Bitcoin (BTC), as a method of depositing to an online casino account.
These institutions often use a third-party custodian, such as BitPay, to convert bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies into local fiat currency. There are online casinos that work cleanly without fiat bills, although they pay in Bitcoin.
takes place on the blockchain using smart contracts, which include a decentralized application (Dapp), which has a backend code that runs on the blockchain network instead of traditional centralized servers.
It is much easier for the government to go after the off-net casino.
casinos often prohibit IP addresses, blocking access from certain countries. When trying to use Bitcoin-accepting gaming sites from the United States, users are more likely to be blocked.
Online casinos and other more decentralized or distributed methods of online gambling are also not completely protected from the effects of state regulation, as we saw with Tron's refusal to show gambling dapps to Japanese users, according to the Cointelegraph. Japanese Internet users, however, can use a VPN to access Tron's game dapps or blocked dapps from anywhere. Cryptocurrency gambling really remains the subject of heated debate in Japan. However, no formal guidelines have yet been introduced.
Global snapshot of crypto gambling regulation
While most countries have official rules for online gambling, only a few countries regulate crypto gambling, including the United Kingdom, Italy, the Netherlands, Greece, Poland, and Belgium.
In many countries, bitcoin is not considered a legal payment method in accordance with existing rules, so it should not be used in gambling. Obviously, in different countries it is necessary to bring more clarity to this issue. Perhaps the most notable example is Japan, where the gambling industry exceeds the Nevada industry by more than $ 4 billion and is valued at $ 15.8 billion.
In the UK, many online gambling platforms and service providers accept cryptocurrency. Cryptocurrency-oriented service providers must comply with UK gambling laws. There, sports betting is an extremely popular activity, turning into a 700 millionth industry. Several crypto-oriented sports betting sites can also be found on the Internet.
While the UK Gambling Commission permits gambling in Bitcoin, it also issued a warning on its website against unreliable service providers. Users are encouraged to "be careful when using bitcoin because of the risks associated with it."
However, the benefits offered to players by cryptocurrencies should not be overlooked. Bitcoin provides a certain degree of confidentiality, but not anonymity. No personal information is transmitted during a Bitcoin transaction, but a person trying to convert BTC to fiat should be identified in most countries through know your customer (KYC) and anti-money laundering (AML) procedures.
On the other hand, privacy coins, such as Monero (XMR) and Zcash (ZEC), give their users greater personal protection and, although they are less widely accepted than Bitcoin, are known to be an obstacle to the investigative capabilities of law enforcement agencies. Joseph Hugh believes that tightening the rules of crypto will help those who use digital currency for legal purposes:
"The role of all governments is to try to regulate any financial activities of their citizens, and no one can blame them, except for people who are in the gray and fish business. I strongly believe that dapps are here to stay, because the borders of the country are not may prevent people from ultimately reaching them. "
Despite the many regulatory and technical problems that a successful introduction to casinos faces, the global gambling industry is becoming more and more friendly to cryptocurrency. Online casinos and even the famous Las Vegas establishments are beginning to accept bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, which is a trend that we are likely to continue to see in the future.
Some enthusiasts began to invent quite a new and interesting approach to gambling, the So-called pvp instant games between players. One of these projects is called

Swell magazine project
Hi! We are Swell, a student magazine surrounding wellbeing, positivity and feel-good moments.
Who are you?
We are Kingston MA Magazine students wanting to create a positive and friendly publication for students to wind down to during the stressful times at university.
Your story
We decided to create this magazine so that we can help students relax and be a help-in-hand for those who don't know where to start on their wellness journey.
It is an important topic for us as we all have been students before and understand the wants and needs of the student body. We think having a positive and encouraging publication will help students become more positive and confident in themselves, as well as encourage others to do so too.
In donating to our project, you will help us reach those who may be too scared to speak out about their issues, and this project will hopefully help them realise that they are not alone.
We want to give people voices so that they can share their experiences with others. We also want to give them the first steps for their wellbeing journey so that they can continue to thrive.
By funding us you will enable us to have a wider reach for not only Kingston students, but potentially others also in and around London. It will allow us to improve our website and also give us a chance to print more issues of the magazine.
Where will the money go?
- The money will be crucial to us producing our first print run of Swell, meaning we can reach even more students on campus who might not yet have found us online. We will also be improving our website, and funding future articles.
- The money will go to improving the website, potentially having multiple issues printed of the magazine and fund articles which may need funding.
- If we receive extra funds, we will invest this into bigger projects and articles surrounding student issues, trying to find organisations to potentially collaborate with.
- We will be giving weekly updates on the campaign and how it is doing.
- We will be able to shout out anyone who donates to this project.
- We also can write an article interviewing yourself or about a subject you feel passionately about related to our magazine. This would go on our website.

So if you follow me on social media you'll know that this time last month I was about to embark on a two long trip travelling around some of the highlights of Sri Lanka. During the whirlwind trip I visited a bunch of different places, staying only 1 or 2 nights in most areas, and soon discovered that there are many different places to suit all kinds of travellers no matter where your interest lies.

No more Tuna for your cats!
Your gardening simply cannot include PEAT!
The bad news for us cat-gardeners in this garden at least is that the lemon grass is almost finished and a fresh one better be bought really fast!
The very bad news is that peat soils are drained and ploughed and many gardeners are still using this precious material for gardening. In eastern England, peat loss and shrinkage continues at a rate of about 1 to 2 centimeters per year. In some places the peat has already shrunk to the point where the clay beneath is exposed! This will affect food production. Research also shows that the exposed lowland peatlands of England could be emitting nearly 6 million tonnes of carbon dioxide per year!
If we were able to buy four plants grown in pots of peat just a few months ago from a nursery in India, it means that the rest of the gardening world is buying peat as well! Despite warnings, 65 per cent of growing media used by 'home' gardeners is peat-based! In Northern Ireland more than 50 per cent of peat bogs have been demolished! An area 10 times the size of Monaco – of peat bog a year are destroyed to supply peat to gardens in the UK!
There are now several alternatives to use instead of peat: homemade compost, farmyard manure, leaf-mold, nettles, hay, mushroom compost, straw etc. Keep peat for the planet to recover.
Always grow something in your garden for you to eat. Put vegetable peelings and other kitchen waste into a shallow pit. Cover it over with earth, then grow next season's vegetables on top!
These three plants are very useful for keeping pests away from your roses: they are garlic, coriander and petunias! You can also add onions to these warriors!
Tuna is not the best food for your cat!
All commercially fished species of tuna are now endangered. Besides they are also linked heavily with the killing of dolphins in the nets used to catch them! So give your cat other kinds of fish!
Try this healthy Runcible Red Snapper!
One cup red snapper, grilled, de-boned and flaked
One heaped tablespoon cooked millet
One heaped tablespoon pumpkin, cooked and pureed.
Mix all the ingredients together.

The folks running Earl Thomas' site give perspective to his impassioned press conference the other day in which he said he regained his "championship spirit" after the loss in San Diego.
Contrary to previous reports that had the Chargers' receivers saying they "exposed" Richard Sherman, several Chargers expressed admiration for his ability.
Bruce Irvin apologized "to the 12th Man" for his "boneheaded play" that helped lose the game and also cost him some cash.
On to the Broncos …
Peyton Manning, 38, is in his third year in Denver, and he sounds like he will be back at least for a fourth.
Andy Benoit of MMQB predicts some of the strategies the Seahawks and Broncos will use against each other.
Denver tight end Julius Thomas is the next big challenge for Kam Chancellor and K.J. Wright.
And more …
According to this analysis, Russell Wilson is the league's third-best two-minute quarterback.
The Seahawks aren't the only team using a WR/RB hybrid (Percy Harvin). Danny Kelly of Field Gulls looks at the NFL trend.
Clay Travis of FOX Sports talks about the politicization of sports (the NFL) in the wake of Roger Goodell's very politicky apologies-and-promises speech. Along the way, Travis points out that Goodell is just the scapegoat for issues that social media (and one video) have suddenly turned into bigger deals than they were 5-10 years ago.
While the media frets and frowns about a few bad NFL apples and makes it seem as if the entire league is populated by felons, Russell Wilson goes about his daily good deeds.

As a Creative Facilitator, you bring inspiration to your idea sessions in the form of fact-based and novelty detours. Here's a little Halloween inspiration for a seasonal detour that struck me as I was strolling down the candy aisle preparing for Halloween.
Candy manufacturers have done an incredible job of capitalizing on the season when marketing their products. Every year, there are more flavors and colors that relate to the holidays and seasons. Even the names of products have been adjusted for specific holidays. For example, in August, M&M's launched their new flavor, Cookies & SCREEM for Halloween!
In my search for examples, I saw creative displays in stores, found ways to use the products in recipes on YouTube, saw coupons online and in direct mail, saw television commercials and they also appeared in my Facebook and Pinterest posts. All of that marketing is inspired by the season.
From holiday package bundles to new flavors like M&M's Cookies & SCREEM, holidays and seasons can inspire new ways to market a client's product or service.
Try these techniques to help your resource group generate ideas that are relevant to the season that your marketing project is focused on.
- Show an image that relates to the season and ask participants to make a list of what they see in the picture. Use the words describing the image to inspire new ideas.
- Bring treats or serve food that is relevant to the season and let it inspire ideas on your list.
- Play music that relates to the season. While the music is playing, ask participants to work on their own to write down three ideas. Ask each person to pick an idea they would like to add to the list.
- Decorate yourself or the room in seasonal décor. For example, wear a costume or fill the room with decorations that will help your resource group focus on the season.
Contact Creative Resources for more sweet detour techniques.

Jakeline Estrada always knew about her mother's love of cooking.
"She's very creative in the kitchen," Estrada said. "That was the way she helped us to support the household, selling food, preparing food."
Years ago, Jakeline remembers, not even the lack of reliable transportation slowed down her mother. "She would make deliveries in my little sister's baby stroller and she would put all the stuff on there and then carry my sister and walk her around Worcester making deliveries."
Back then, her mother's dream of opening a restaurant appeared it would remain just that, a dream. That changed two years ago, after eight years of Jakeline going to school and working in the hospitality industry. Jakeline, her mother, Talyta Contreras, and Jakeline's husband, Robervan Silveira, began a journey to make the dream a reality.
That dream, Talyta's Café at 20 Front St., will celebrate its first anniversary on Oct. 28.

How to find Free TV online in Jamaica
It is quite important to take note of what happens when Content Providers and Cable Networks or even TV stations that want to carry certain content can't agree. Granted, that it won't have any effect on us here in Jamaica.
But as for Jamaicans watching free American TV via Streaming , that's not possible due to a block on content for non-US IP (Internet Protocol)Addresses for a lot of recent content, as the aim is for American viewers to see it first and then resell it to countries later, thus making more money from the same content.
Free TV –Myth and Legend?
For now, the only Free TV options online based on a little digging I did are:
- Kodi
- Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) services
- Kodi
- Google Play Apps
- Kodi
Here in Jamaica, our TV Stations already have their own Web Streaming:
- Television Jamaica
These two stations stream their media through an app called "1Spot Media". Though in this app everything is not free, you are still able to view media content from it.
In Jamaica, we only have access to older content on Netflix and Hulu, with the latest content being blocked, resulting in Jamaicans streaming decade old content.
To get around this and Stream the US versions of Hulu and Netflix is easy via using either Proxy Sites or VPN (Virtual Private Network).
I won't get into all that tech mumble today. But what I will tell you is that, it is quite easy to watch Live Cable TV Content right here in Jamaica.
Now, from my list above, you must have seen that I merely mentioned Kodi. Though unfamiliar to most, it is actually an awesome media player that allows you to access thousands of channels being streamed worldwide. As stated on their website: https://kodi.tv/about
"It is an entertainment hub that brings all your digital media together into a beautiful and user friendly package. It is 100% free and open source, very customizable and runs on a wide variety of devices. It is supported by a dedicated team of volunteers and a huge community."
These communities can be accessed on Facebook in Facebook Groups. One such group is Free TV/KODI support (https://www.facebook.com/groups/configurator/). This group helps newbies conquer Kodi and be able to stream with no problems.
Now, with Kodi, one can access an immense span of media through a number of mediums. Kodi can be accessed through:
- A Personal Computer: Windows devices are capable of giving you access to this media player.
- Android TV boxes, which are now quite popular.
- Any Android devices really
Kodi can be complicated especially for a new user. Kodi can be setup easily using software called "Configurator for Kodi" (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.configurator.setup) . This software saves you headaches and allows for users to start using Kodi immediately. It is readily available on Google Play for those android users.
Internet Protocol television (IPTV) is the delivery of television content over Internet Protocol (IP) networks. This is in contrast to delivery through traditional terrestrial, satellite, and cable television formats. Unlike downloaded media, IPTV offers the ability to stream the source media continuously. As a result, a client media player can begin playing the content (such as a TV channel) almost immediately. This is known as streaming media.
Users can also take advantage of Google Play apps. Several apps offer users the advantage of streaming live TV channels, free of cost! Yes, Free! Sure the developers of these apps may ask for a contribution but that's just a drop in the bucket compared to what they could have charged for an awesome service. There are apps such as Exodus Live (http://www.kodiconfig.com/intv/exodus-live-apk/) that offers users hundreds of channels streamed from across the globe. And yes, I do get to watch TVJ and CVM on this app for free.

Last month, for the first time, we experimented with a new approach to our monthly international strategy meeting. Video conferencing.
Hans from Frankfurt was first on. I was next and Yoshi in Tokyo wasn't far behind. Clive from the UK took a while to work out where he was supposed to look, and Jim from Boston looked very tired. But then it was 6am for him.
Yoshi was the happiest – as you might expect, given the performance of the Japanese market. 'Our call on equities last year was a good one,' he tells us. 'The TOPIX is up over 40% since the start of the year and nearly 70% on a year ago.'
'I wish we had increased our allocation to Japanese equities,' says Jim.
'But then the S&P is up over 25% since January, so we can't complain. Even your government hasn't been able to spoil that party,' quips Clive.
Frankfurt, Amsterdam and London are all up and we are all heading for a good year, thanks to our timely decisions.
'But what about the longer term?' asks Hans.
'Looks like the Fed will end tapering sometime early next year,' replies Jim. 'And our politicians need to agree to raise the budget ceiling, so we can expect a choppy ride in the early part of 2014.'
'I am moderately optimistic that we have overcome the worst of the euro crisis but progress to banking union is still too slow,' Hans adds. 'And we Germans are still paying for the integration of the GDR over 20 years since the reunification, so you can forget fiscal union until southern Europe gets its house in order.'
'Look at Italy,' says Clive. 'They seem to be a long way off.'
'We have hedged almost all of our duration exposure and we have to think in terms of where the world will be in one year, two years and five years,' I venture. 'But in the meantime, interest rate rises seem a long way off and we are desperate for yield.'
'That means looking at some of the more exotic areas of credit,' says Jim. 'Given the shape of our liabilities, our risk models tell us we have to crimp our equity exposure somewhat going forward, so we have been looking at mortgages, real estate debt and loans.'
'Problem is,' says Clive, 'some of these more exotic asset classes don't fit neatly in to our asset allocation buckets.'
'You're right,' I reply. 'Where does real estate or infrastructure debt go? You can talk in terms of risk factor exposure, but I don't think any of us are ready to throw out the existing models.'
'Certainly not the trustees,' says Clive. 'And you still get the exposure to risk factors whatever the model. It's about understanding your risks.'
Yoshi looks sage.
'There is only one solution,' he says. 'We have to get more buckets.'

COLUMBUS, Ga. — The Columbus State women's basketball team is dealing with everything from an outbreak of the flu, to robots, as they prepare for the NCAA Division II Elite Eight.
Several Lady Cougars and coaches are dealing with the flu, which flared up during the team's championship run in the NCAA Southeast Regional tournament. At Thursday's practice, senior Gabby Williams was still wearing a disposable dusk mask around her face to try and prevent spreading the virus to her teammates.
That practice took place in the Woodruff Gymnasium on CSU's campus, instead of the Lumpkin Center, the team's current home. The team is unable to practice in the Lumpkin Center this week because it is occupied by a FIRST Robotics Competition, so they have been forced to setup in the former home of CSU basketball, constructed in 1960's.
To their credit, CSU head coach Anita Howard and her players say they don't really care where they have to practice, or what they have to deal with ahead of the biggest game of the season.
"You know at this point, you can either have excuses or results. And I don't want to hear any excuses," said Howard.
Columbus State will play Virginia Union in the NCAA DII Elite Eight on Tuesday at noon on the campus of Ohio Dominican University in Columbus, Ohio.
Howard is very familiar with her team's opponent, having previously coached against the Panthers in the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association. Howard says VU coach AnnMarie Gilbert is the only coach to beat her twice, and she's hoping for payback.
"I know everything about Virginia Union. That's the league I came from. I coached in the CIAA. I know their coach really well," said Howard.
"I know her style, I've recruited against it. She's the only coach that has beaten me twice. So, I kind of owe her this favor back,"said Howard.
The two coaches texted each other congratulations after reaching the Elite Eight, before it was announced they would be opponents.
"When she won, I texted her congratulations that night. She texted me as well. And then, a couple hours later, we found out we're enemies again," said Howard with a smile.
"So the texting stopped after that," she continued.
CSU will leave campus on a bus Sunday morning at 5 a.m., drive to Atlanta, and fly into Dayton,Ohio before taking another bus to Columbus for the tournament.
It will be the first plane trip for CSU's Gabby Williams and Ariel Johnson, who were offered the option of riding a bus to Columbus if they were nervous about flying.
The robotics competition features 39 teams of high school students from around the region testing their robots in an arena setup on the main floor of the Lumpkin Center. The competition runs through Sunday.

It's always frustrating when your favorite golf ball finds its way to the bottom of a shallow pond, or within a bush.
You could roll your trousers up and get the ball, but you'd look like a bit of an idiot by doing so, and many golf clubs wouldn't allow it and would class it as anti-social behaviour.
Plus, you wouldn't want to be sticking your arms into a thorn bush to get the golf ball would you? But it's your favorite ball, how else can you get it out?
A golf ball retriever is the answer to all your problems.
If you are rushing for time, here is our top pick for the best golf ball retriever:
Our Top Pick for the Best Golf Ball Retriever: Callaway "15 Club"
The Callaway "15th Club" is one of the most premium quality golf ball retriever in the market. Made of high quality aluminium alloy, the pole is sturdy and does not bend easily. The handle is ergonomic and the retriever mechanism picks up the ball in a snap. It extends to 15 feet and retracts to 45 inches. It also comes with a headcover to disguise your retriever as your "15th Club".
Buying Factors for Golf Ball Retrievers
Pole Length
When looking for a golf ball retriever, you may think some of the pole lengths are ridiculously large. However, when you bear in mind that many of these poles are retractable, it's always best to go a bit overboard than not be able to reach your golf balls.
An 18-foot golf ball retriever is best; while it may be hard to handle, you will get used to it over time, and it's much better to buy a long golf ball retriever! With an 18-foot golf ball retriever, you're almost guaranteed to be able to retrieve almost all of your balls, unlike some golfers who skimp out and purchase a smaller retriever, such as a 12-foot retriever.
This is even more important if you purchase a long pole. You don't want the pole to be too heavy as the majority of the pole is going to be in front of you, and the heavier it is, the harder it is to handle. Therefore, you want a nice lightweight pole - a material such as aluminium should do perfectly.
However don't disregard other materials. There is a large variety of suitable materials for this purpose, so make sure to do your research, and check the weight of the golf ball retriever before purchasing.
Retrieving Type
All golf ball retrievers are different, with various different "retrieving systems" – such as:
Suction Cups: This is the main type of retrieving system, and is fairly useful.
- Advantages: Easy to use, cheaper, are available to use in longer pole lengths.
- Disadvantages: Don't work very well when ball is coated in debris, or underwater.
Grabber: Also fairly popular, not quite as popular as the suction cup mechanism.
- Advantages: Effective regardless of if ball is coated in debris, or underwater.
- Disadvantages: Tend to be more expensive, harder to use, not as long poles usually..
Cup: Increasingly popular, and also incredibly easy to use provided you have good motor skills.
- Advantages: Easy to use, simple, no moving parts.
- Disadvantages: Can be hard to use if ball in a tricky place.
There are other retrieving mechanisms, although they aren't common – and are usually limited to a certain brand. The main three types are detailed above along with advantages and disadvantages. More professional/experienced players tend to opt for the grabbing mechanism, due to its increased versatility. A suction cup may be more suited to a beginner or novice, as the longer pole length can come in handy if you haven't mastered accurate shots.
This is one of the most integral parts of a golf ball retriever, and can be the deciding factor in whether you have an enjoyable experience or not. Therefore it is important that you find a handle that is right for you.
If you have large hands, it is probably best to try out a few golf ball retrievers in order to find which is best for you, as many ball retrievers may be uncomfortable to handle for larger built people.
The handle material is also important, and there is a huge variety of materials that manufacturers use, such as silicone, plastic, rubber and pure metal. Each material provides a slightly different feel; therefore, it is best to also find what works for you.
The pole is the most integral part of a golf ball retriever; you need to make sure the pole is lightweight, yet strong – and also long enough for your needs. As I said above, it is always best to purchase a golf ball retriever that is longer than you need, as they are mainly retractable and take up minimal space regardless of how long the pole is. While the cost may be slightly higher – it is always worth it in the long run, just to be safe.
Build Quality
Now this is one of the main buying factors, in order for you to have a simple, enjoyable experience with a golf ball retriever, it is essential that the product is well built. Here are a few things to check for:
- Pole: It is imperative that you make sure the pole retracts almost effortlessly, while is firm enough not to automatically slide out. Also make sure there is no "wobbling" between the separate segments of the pole, as this can affect your accuracy when attempting to retrieve a rogue ball.
- Handle: Make sure the handle is firmly attached to the end of the pole, preferably with screws rather than an adhesive. This is because during hot summer days, adhesive can easily melt, this can cause an unpleasant and sticky experience that no golfer wants.
- Retrieving Mechanism: Regardless of whether the retriever uses a suction cup or a grabbing mechanism, you want to ensure that the retriever is firmly attached to the end of the pole, and won't become loose if the retriever is mishandled occasionally. If you are using a grabbing mechanism, it is best to make sure that the moving parts operate smoothly, without too much force, and that the lever on the other end of the pole isn't too stiff, and works flawlessly.
- Finish: Many golf ball retrievers feature a delightful finish over the bare metal, usually endorsing the brand. Ensure that the finish isn't easily chipped, as this will affect the overall aesthetics of the product negatively. Also take note of how it looks, after all it will look much better if it matches your set of golf clubs
Top 5 Best Golf Ball Retrievers
Callaway "15th Club" Ball Retriever
In order to maintain the beautiful aesthetics of all your golf clubs within the bag, Callaway has even included a dual zip cover, making it look like another club within your bag, which is a really nice touch – and also protects the end of the ball retriever.
The retrieving mechanism is manufactured from stainless steel, making it a breeze to clean, not to mention incredibly strong – it can easily pick up balls all day long!
The increased strength of the stainless steel retriever makes it unbelievably easy to collect balls that are firmly dug into the ground with no hassle whatsoever.
With a simple twist the ball is released, the only downside is that when fully extended, it can be rather hard to handle – however this can be expected of all ball retrievers, after all there is 15 feet of pole in front of you.
Things We Liked
- Very good quality
- No spring, no friction to worry about
- Free headcover disguises it as your "15th club"
Things We Didn't Like
- Rather heavy
I Gotcha Golf Ball Retriever
While it may sport an amusing name, there definitely isn't anything amusing about how well this golf ball retriever does its job.
While the I Gotcha Retriever may only have a 14-foot reach, it retracts to a mere 20 inches!
Meaning it can even neatly slide into a side pocket of your golf bag, without taking up any room within the main compartment.
Not only is this a great feature for golfers who use a lot of clubs, but the fact it can be stored away protects the retriever.
The retriever is also extremely light, weighing in at only 12 ounces; this means when extended to 14-feet, it can still be reasonably controlled, allowing you to collect your balls in a jiffy.
If you want a more telescopic length, I Gotcha also produces a larger golf ball retriever, which is 18-feet long, along with a smaller retriever which contracts to only 15.5 inches!
All of the retrievers perform the same, it all depends on whether you'd prefer a small retriever that can be thrown into a side pocket of your golf bag, or whether you'd prefer a retriever for even the longest shots.
Things We Liked
- Very short when retracted
- Able to keep in bag side pocket
- Very lightweight
Things We Didn't Like
- Made of plastic - not as sturdy
I Gotcha The Biggest Golf Ball Retriever (21ft Reach)
While this may surprise you, I mean – when would you need a golf ball retriever that can extend to 21 feet?
Well, you never know…
Having a large ball retriever does come in handy, especially at this price range.
However, the extra length does make the unit weigh in 25 ounces, which is by no means light – but should still be fairly easy to control.
Unfortunately, this isn't a golf ball retriever you can simply throw into a side compartment of your bag - it retracts to 46 inches, which is still a lot smaller than 21 foot!
It needs to be stored within the main compartment of your golf bag, which is a small disadvantage, however – the advantages that the increased length provides easily outweigh this minor nuisance.
The build quality of this retriever is also wonderful, even when extended fully, it is still extremely solid, and will last years of golf ball retrieving before ever needing replacing.
Things We Liked
- The longest retriever you'll need
- Affordable
Things We Didn't Like
- Relatively heavy due to its size
Orlimar 15-Foot Flourescent Head Retriever
Besides the fact that the Orlimar Flourescent head retriever only extends to 15-foot, there is not much limitations.
The handle is a sheer pleasure and will have you wanting to never let go.
It also will almost never drop the ball once you've trapped it, making it much quicker and less hassle to collect your golf balls.
The handle is telescopic as you would expect, so it does contract to a smaller size for storing away.
It is also hugely versatile, as you can use it in water, on mud, on rocks with no hassle – it will still perform excellently!

The benefits of this retriever are huge – the rubber handle ensures you have a tight grip on the retriever, and can effortlessly retrieve your ball, while the build quality ensures no wobbling takes place.
This also means that you can accurately reach your ball, followed by trapping it.
The weight of this retriever - despite it being fairly long - is wonderful, this is all down to the aluminium tubing used in the manufacture, this means the retriever is strong and durable, yet still allows it to be lightweight
Things We Liked

This can cause numerous problems when using a suction cup retriever.

If you have not read award-winning author Heather King before, her honesty may shock you. In this remarkable memoir, you will see how a convert with a checkered past spends a year reflecting upon Saint Thérèse of Lisieux - and discovers the radical faith, true love, and abundant spiritual life of a cloistered 19th-century French nun. The provocative title is inspired by a portion of T.S. Eliot's Four Quartets that says we all choose to live "consumed by either fire or fire."

Written by Heather King
This book brings out the grit of sanctity, how it is a continuous, no-holds barred full-on contact engagement with reality. The episodes from St. Therese's life and Ms. King's reflections concerning her own path show how both the French Carmelite and her L.A.-based follower simplify their lives, not as an escape, but precisely in order to face without distraction the gargantuan challenge and adventure of love, surrender, living out, to the last drop their embrace of the Savior of the world.
Fr. Vincent T. Nagle, Holy Family Parish, Ramallah, West Bank, The Palestinian Territories
A moving book written with so much humility, confidence, and love. The true meaning of the Little Way shines through Heather King's grace-filled witness. The author's original prayers are some of the most beautiful I have ever read.
Fr. Peter John Cameron, op, editor-in-chief, Magnificat
Refreshingly and brutally honest... King offers a genuinely moving account of her quest to follow Therese's little way, become a "victim of love" and, indeed, to redefine what love means in the modern world. Recommended for anyone who is experiencing a "dark night of the soul" or interested in contemporary spirituality.
Publishers Weekly
Heather King's walk with St. Therese is a profound account of turning one's life toward the light—a journey to which, as she makes clear, we are all invited.
Bethany Saltman, essayist and poet
What do Heather King and St. Thérèse de Lisieux have in common? Their lives of faith have been propelled by a revolutionary refusal to reduce their desire for happiness. Read this book and you will want to join them in their defense of the desires that make us human.
Monsignor Lorenzo Albacete, theologian, physicist, and author of God at the Ritz
Shirt of Flame is a profound meditation on the spiritual depths that can be ours if we are not afraid to start with ourselves, with our seemingly little lives, little concerns, and limitless longings.
James Stephen Behrens, ocso, Monastery of the Holy Spirit (Georgia)

Iranian & Turkish Firms to Invest in Uganda
Kampala- Representatives of Iranian and Turkish companies that are interested in investing in energy and construction are in Uganda to hold talks with President Yoweri Museveni.
The representatives are from Adaali Insaat a company interested in harnessing wind for production of energy, manufacture of solar panels, construction and leather tanning.
Others are from, Tepe Klima a company which intends to establish International Maritime registry in Uganda.President Museveni has this afternoon met representatives of Turkish investors including Adali Insaat Inc and Tepe Klima company based in Instanbul.
Adaali Insaat is interested in harnessing wind for production of energy, manufacture of solar panels, construction and leather tanning. Tepe Klima is interested in establishing International Maritime registry in Uganda. According to the representative of Tepe Klima company Mr. Ulku Ortac, the venture once established, will carry Uganda's flag on all the world's water vessels.
President Museveni welcomed the Turkish investors to Uganda and urged them to look into setting up an efficient water transport system on Lake Victoria and the River Nile for both cargo and passengers.
At the same meeting, the President received Ms Margaret Lakidi and Mr. Nobert Obonyo Komakech, Ugandan entrepreneurs based in London. Margaret fled Field Marshal Idd Amin Dada's instability in the 70s. She would like to return to Uganda and participate in the progress of motherland by generating energy from solid waste management. She is also interested in modern agriculture in Ngomoromo, Lukung sub-county, Lamwo district and expressed interest in the production of bio-fuels from agricultural waste that can also be used for the production of fertilizers to increase agricultural production yields.
Mr. Komakech is set to construct border markets at Musingo in Madi Opei sub-county also in Lamwo district. Musingo lies at the Ugandan border with Sudan. He thanked President Museveni for the peace ushered into the country in general and Northern Uganda in particular, by the NRM government. The meeting was attended by Ms Janefer Lawala, a Ugandan musical artist also based in London.
Ngomoromo is symbolic. President Museveni launched Operation Iron Fist, the offensive against Kony's LRA, at Ngomoromo in 2002. Today the area is peaceful and secure.

Stylish and affordable, a park home is the savvy way to downsize for your retirement.
With your pick of stunning Park Homes in a range of locations, you can relax and enjoy all the advantages of your new laid-back lifestyle.
Here are some financial benefits of park home living in retirement that you may not have considered:
The low maintenance home
Do you dream of modern, hassle-free living in a comfortable and low maintenance home? Then a park home lifestyle could be for you. Constructed using modern technologies and materials with a user-friendly single storey layout, your park home is spacious and easy to look after.
Go green with style
Thanks to energy efficient features like double glazing and insulation, your brand new park home allows you to embrace a more environmentally friendly lifestyle with ease. You'll enjoy a warm and welcoming environment without dreading the big bills that conventional houses can generate.
Reduce your monthly outgoings
Not only will you enjoy lower energy bills, you'll also benefit from a significant saving on your Council Tax. With rates rising at their fastest in years, investing in a property that sits in the lowest tax band makes sense. And when you buy your park home you won't be liable for stamp duty, an additional and welcome saving.
No need to decorate
Because you can choose your new park home to suit your sense of style, you can move in immediately. Working with expert designers, your home will be a perfect reflection of your taste and you can choose options like your dream kitchen or that longed for study. Because everything is flexible, your bespoke home will perfectly meet your needs including ramps and handrails for those with reduced mobility.
Put money in the bank
Opt to part exchange your home with a Home Exchange scheme, such as that available through Leisure Parks Luxury Living, and you can simply exchange your existing property for your brand new park home, pocket the difference and still have money in the bank. Look out for schemes that offer market value for your home.

Now that things have settled down a bit and I'm not constantly busy and confused, perhaps I can give little miss fingers of fire a break and write something myself for a change. Heck, maybe I can even get my stumpy little sausage digits to peck out something interesting and possibly relevant.
For now though, I just want to let you know what we're eating this morning and you're not (probably not. I mean it's possible. Actually, if you are eating this, email me and we'll discuss the cosmic odds).
Oh yeah. Pan fried polenta cakes wrapped in pancetta and topped with a delightfully goopy poached egg. On arugula. Can't forget the arugula.
So in summary:
I should write more. We ate breakfast. You may have eaten breakfast, but most likely not this.
And they said I'm not thourough.

Hi Ian
I have used NZ Bike twice now. Once from Auckland in 2011 and the recent trip from Christchurch.
On both occasions the bikes have been well prepared and presented.
The trip to the South Island was an experience of a lifetime for me. The accommodation and route provided by you enhanced this experience.
The routes were spectacular encompassing all of the varied scenery of the island, and all of the varied accommodation worked well.
Many thanks for providing the basis of a truly wonderful experience.
PS did you book the weather as well.
Many thanks

Having a successful rental property and investment partly rests on obtaining a great tenant and then keeping them in the home. Keeping a good tenant relies on two things, only one of which is in your control:
- Maintaining good relationships
- Their continued requirement for your premises
While some tenants may move along after their tenancy agreement ends due to a lifestyle change, some will be more than happy to continue living in the property provided their experiences with the landlord and property manager are positive ones.
As you only have control over the interactions you have with the tenant, with little input into their own life, it is important to ensure your relationship is positive. Here are the four ways to ensure you stay on their good side, without compromising your needs as an investor.
Experienced property manager
Your property manager is a representative of yourself as a landlord and they are the most critical person when it comes to ensuring there is a relationship of mutual respect with a tenant. Choose a property manager with good references, who treats tenants in the same manner they treat the landlord.
Allow your property manager to have enough authority to make small decisions on your behalf to ensure there's no delay between the tenant and your property manager speaking to you.
Maintenance and repairs
Undertaking repairs and maintenance in a timely manner is not only required to keep your tenant happy, but it is also your legal obligation. Ensure your property manager has filled you in on the obligations around urgent and non-urgent repairs and be prepared to act if a call comes through.
For most landlords, it will be critical to save some sort of a buffer for these expenses. It is not conducive to a positive tenancy for a renter to be without access to facilities or needing to go to tribunal to uphold their legal rights.
You can always ask the tenant for their feedback. Consider the following questions:
- Is there anything in the home that makes your life difficult?
- Have you noticed anything that needs repairing or may need maintaining soon?
- Are there any features you'd like to see added or improved in the home
- What fixtures and fittings would make your day-to-day home life easier?How does the home suit you?
- How does the home suit you?
On each inspection, your property manager should take note of anything that needs repairing.
Openness to requests
All tenants will at some point ask for something – whether it be to put picture hooks in the walls, to bring in another tenant or for a more substantial change. A good landlord will be open to all requests and will fairly consider them. Tenancy laws even suggest that some reasonable requests cannot be denied without a substantial reason. A willingness to discuss and compromise goes a long way.
Tenants will respond well, even to a refusal, if they are approached with an open mind and a fair landlord. If you are refusing a request, be sure to provide reasons why and, where possible, provide alternatives. Talk through requests with your property manager before making a snap choice as these decisions may be more important to a tenant than you realize.
Other techniques
Everyone likes to know they are appreciated, so there's nothing wrong with sharing this with your tenant as well. A gift or a card at Christmas – or at the end of the lease – may not be to everyone's tastes, but for some landlords it helps them give a bit of gratitude to their best tenants.
You may also want to consider some aesthetic improvements from time to time. Not only will these help with the valuation of the home, but they will also make your tenant happy to live in a place that is even more attractive. Be sure to negotiate access for any improvements with the tenant ahead of time to ensure it is stress-free.

Fantasy Football Week 9 In Review And NFL Open Thread
Going South Express Comes Back with Win on Dragons!!
It took a strong performance from Tom Brady to give coach Dman the win in this matchup. It was a close match as 6 players for the Express scored in single digits. Sadly the Express squeaked by the Dragon even with one player on a bye and keeping Stacy in the lineup even though he has been benched by the Rams. Tu talked with coach Dman after the game.
Tu: Well, you pulled off the win against the GoingSouth Dragons.
Dman: Yeah! Here's to the Freak of the Week for me!
Tu: Two problems there coach. First, we dropped the Freak of the Week because of the Dragons. Second, and most importantly, you would not have gotten the Freak of the Week.
Dman: What?!?
Tu: Yes, your team underperformed so much that you almost lost to the Dragons. We are thinking of calling a team that does not get a Freak of the Week against the Dragons the Bleak of the Week.
Dman: … That is terrifying.
Tu: Any thought in trying to shore your line up with a trade?
Dman: Trying to trade is a waste of time. No one wants to make a real trade. Sure, they will try to get your best player, but they are only willing to give you two or three players just like what you have already on your team for him.
Streak of the Week
Despite scoring the lowest total for the team for the year, coach Jaybird gains their eighth win in row. Both teams made mistakes with the Analysts starting the no show Tony Romo, while The Best busted out two players with a bye for the week (and left Maclin on the bench with 30 points). Tu caught up with Jaybird after the close match.
Tu: Close win coach. What happened this week?
Jaybird: Well, I'm really irritated by the Romo thing. I was thinking "Hey, you know what? My guy's on a bye… I really need to replace him with someone good" and I saw Romo in the free agents.
Tu: So you decided to abandon your "someone good" plan?
Jaybird: Aren't the Cowboys "America's Team"?
Tu: The last time they were called that, Jerry Garcia was still crashing into guard rails.
Jaybird: Has it been that long? Anyway, I remember a couple of years ago when I lost in the finals to someone who had Tony Romo as their QB. As I recall, he had a hell of a game.
Tu: How's that working out for you?
Jaybird: I traded Tony Romo for a kicker.
Peak of the Week
The Partisan Warriors had five players score 20 or more. Manning, even after saying that he sucked for the night, turned out 23 points. Jackson, finally puts together two good games with 20. Lynch, looking more like the Beast Mode with his first double digit game in four week with 26. Edelman, having his highest score for the year with 27. All this overpowered Team Pooh Bear even though they had the second highest score for the week. Timing is everything.
The Quatrains of Nostradamus
No one should be surprised that Nostradamus lost the GoingSouth Dragons this week. Though it was by a surprisingly close margin. Now the Waynesport Wildcats are on the brink of breaking their quatrain.
Remember, Dear Reader, that the records listed below are the number of wins and losses still needed for Nostradamus to be proven right.
ContumeliousAnalysts: 2-3
Team Pooh Bear: 3-1-1 AKA: The Anointed Ones
Thunderlips Express: 2-1-2
Waynesport Wildcats: 6-0-(1)
Partisan Warrior's: 2-4-(1)
DownSouth Dragons: 6-(1) AKA: GoingSouth Dragons
The Levellers: (2)- 7
Brian's Best Team: 1-4

Tailored Blank Line
Faster Tape-Laying Procedure
With the tailored blank line using the Fiberforge and Fibercon systems, Dieffenbacher GmbH, Eppingen, Germany, has developed a solution for the large-series production of locally reinforced thermoplastic components.
To the manufacturer's product presentation
In the first step, the Fiberforge produces near-net-shape composite lay-ups from carbon fiber or glass fiber pre-preg tapes. One laying cycle lasts about one second, making this system the fastest tape laying system in the world. After a laying pattern is defined, the tapes can be rolled off of coils and laid according to that pattern. The Fiberforge system can carry four of these coils. This makes it possible to mix different materials in one tape lay-up. Even the width and thickness of the tapes can be varied.
With a new angle-cutting system, the start and end of the tape can be cut either straight or at an angle of plus or minus 45 degrees. Precise and near-net-shape tape laying reduces excess bleed cuttings. An automatic coil exchange system guarantees uninterrupted production.
The complementary Fibercon process line uses vacuum bag forming to form the tape lay-ups into a near-net-shape laminate. The Fibercon can process several lay-ups simultaneously and has impressively short cycle times. The vacuum bag forming system minimizes air pockets and material faults, producing unparalleled laminate quality.
Together with downstream systems such as handling robots and compression molds, the Fiberforge and Fibercon systems make it possible to produce more than one million components per year.
