The Range Rover Evoque is the most successful model in Jaguar Land Rover's history. This luxury compact SUV that has only been on sale for six years has proved to be more popular than the Range Rover Sport, the much-missed Defender, the XF, the F-Type, or any other car you care to mention that has borne the Jaguar or Land Rover name.
More than 600,000 Evoques have been built in the UK since it first launched in 2011, with 80 per cent of those shipped to 130 markets around the world.
Aside from selling big, the Evoque wins big too, picking up in excess of 200 awards including the prestigious 'Car of the Year' gong from Auto Express and Top Gear. The notoriously scathing Jeremy Clarkson even picked it out as his favourite car of 2011, too.
So in light of such success, Land Rover has thrown together the Landmark special edition to celebrate six years of the Evoque.
The Evoque Landmark uses the 180H TD4 diesel model as a base, before chucking in gloss dark grey 19-inch alloy wheels, a 'Carpathian grey' contrast roof, dynamic bodystyling, keyless entry, a powered tailgate, fixed panoramic roof and graphite atlas grille, fog lamp bezels and bonnet louvres.
Buyers will be able to choose from three exterior colours: Yulong white, Corris grey and the vibrant 'moraine blue' seen in these pictures, which was apparently inspired by the turquoise lakes of the Canadian Rocky Mountains.
Prices start from £39,000 for the manual, rising to £40,840 for the automatic.
However, you could end up paying plenty more by opting to include the ten-inch InControl Touch Pro system, which features apps such as Spotify and a 4G Wi-Fi hotspot, or the Touch Pro Services package, which provides real-time traffic mapping, satellite and street-level views and an apps sidebar with weather, news headlines and a flight tracker.
'Indisputable success'
Jeremy Hicks, managing director of Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) UK, said: "The Evoque has been an indisputable success. It's our biggest selling model in the UK and continues to thrive six years after launch – it's a fantastic achievement and worthy of celebration.
"The Landmark edition has new dynamic detailing and a distinctive aesthetic which takes its design credentials to an even higher level – it looks fantastic and we know customers will love it."
In the same six years that the Evoque has been around, JLR has doubled sales and employment, more than tripled turnover and invested more than £15 billion in new product creation and capital expenditure.
July will mark the arrival of the new mid-size Range Rover Velar, filling the gap between the Evoque and Range Rover Sport, so expect the good news stories to continue rolling out from JLR.

Beware! GoldenGambit has stopped paying! Do not invest there!
Hello everyone! Before we move on to today's news stories I want to look at a new short term program called GoldenGambit for you in a bit more detail. They've been running for about a week or so now, and has joined the MNO monitor two days ago. They have an interesting mix of plans that vary from on expiry payments to daily ones. I would have to say I had a few reservations about the plans at first in terms of how they were researched and calculated which I'll get to soon, but first let's run through the main features of GoldenGambit and see if there's anything there to interest you.
What you have on offer to you in GoldenGambit is a series of four plans. The first is called The Blackjack Plan and you can join it for a $10 minimum deposit. It runs for a term of 7 calendar days and pays you just once on expiry. The maximum deposit is $999 and for any amount deposited GoldenGambit are offering a return of 114%, principal included. So in other words a $100 should get you back $114, or your own money back plus a 14% net profit.
The second plan is a slightly longer term option, running for 15 calendar days and costing a $20 minimum to join. It's called The Poker Plan and differs from the first option by offering a daily interest payment. Anything from the $20 minimum up to a value of $9,999 will be paid 9% interest per day adding up to 135% by the time the last payment is received. As is generally the case with the majority of shorter term HYIPs GoldenGambit are including your initial principal as part of those payments, so it's your own money back plus 35% net profit. Or to put it in monetary terms, another $100 invested here should get you back $9 per day until you have $135 in total.
The final HYIP style plan is The Roulette Plan which runs for a term of 31 calendar days and can be joined by anyone willing to pay a $30 minimum or anything up to a $9,999 maximum. GoldenGambit make a daily interest payment of 7% for the terms duration, adding up to 217% in total by the end. That figure too includes your original deposit so will not be returned, meaning you have a 117% profit for yourself. In more practical terms that would mean a $100 deposit here should get you back $7 per day until you have $217 in total.
Apart from that GoldenGambit also have a Game Dice Plan. Unfortunately I'm at bit of a disadvantage here when it comes to commenting on it, due to the fact that it only runs once per week on Friday (00.00 to 23.59 GMT) and I'm writing this on Tuesday. But the basic premise is that you invest between $100 and $500 on Friday for a return of 110% to be made the following Monday. This is of course simply a vehicle for the admin to collect money and I can see no real reason for this to be done the way it is (ie, why only on Friday?) if it isn't the admin's ultimate intention to scam over the weekend. I don't mean it's going to happen this weekend of course, just any weekend. Incidentally, the reason I didn't include this plan on my monitoring page is because it only runs one day per week.
Despite their being no less that four separate payment options in GoldenGambit, I still think there's plenty of scope for improvement there. A lot of you might be happy enough with the list I suppose, with EgoPay, PerfectMoney, PexPay, and LibertyReserve all making the grade. All completely irreversible transactions of course with refunds being out of the question with all of them in the event of things not working out the way you wanted, but that's all in keeping with GoldenGambit's gambling theme I guess. Withdrawal requests are processed manually by the admin and so will need to be made from within your private members account area. Once done the GoldenGambit admin asks you to allow anything up to 24 hours for all transactions to be completed.
On the security and design aspects of the program, GoldenGambit is hosted on a dedicated server with support and protection provided by BlockDos. The website is fully SSL encrypted in both public and members areas by RapidSSL for safer browsing and more secure transactions. GoldenGambit is also running off a modified version of the ProBiz script. The admin says this was not obtained from ProBiz themselves but rather from some other source. I don't really know what to make of that (it's hard to be positive about it anyway) though given that the cost of getting hosted by BlockDos isn't cheap it's hard to imagine the admin wanting to deliberately cut corners with something like this. If you have any further questions about the program or any account related issues then you can get in touch with the GoldenGambit admin by filling in your details in the online support ticketing form and submitting it through the website's contacts page.
Regarding the business plan behind the program and backing the whole thing up, if the name GoldenGambit itself doesn't give you a hint then you'll find it glaringly obvious as soon as you see the website. It's basically a gambling themed website and the texts which seem original describe the owners as a group of professional gamblers. It's a line I've heard many many times in the HYIP industry before and it always comes back to the question that if it were really true and somebody can magically guarantee they win in a poker game, why on earth would they need to ask for HYIP investors' money in order to play? I know if I could do that I'd have retired years ago. I'm also kinda curious about what happens when one of these gambles who can't be beaten comes up against another one who also can't be beaten, lol! But let's leave that for another day! For now I'll just say as always to treat GoldenGambit like any other online HYIP, and in that sense it is true that it's all about gambling except that the risk is 100% on your shoulders, not the admins. That means you need to establish a clear and modest spending limit that you will not exceed under any circumstances and that you can comfortably afford to lose. Plus if joining GoldenGambit at all then it's best to do so as part of a wider more diverse portfolio.
If you noticed that no profits were credited to your FelminaAlliance account for Monday on the either of their two plans – 0.8%-1.4% for 90 business days and 1%-1.6% for 180 business days with the principal return on expiry – there is no need to concern. Yesterday they just celebrated another official holiday in Panama which along with the US are two countries the banking holidays of which they observe. And since FelminaAlliance pays on business days only then Monday was a day off. Here's the info on that from the latest newsletter from FelminaAlliance (reviewed here):
"[FelminaAlliance] Official Newsletter
This is an official newsletter from FelminaAlliance Inc.
Monday, November 5, 2012, is Colon Day – one the official holidays in Panama.
We observe the official holidays in the US and Panama. According to our terms of service, we do not pay interest on weekend days and official holidays. Therefore, no interest will be paid on this day.
Please do not hesitate to contact us should you have any questions and need help with anything. Your thoughts on how to improve our website and the services we offer are more than welcome.
Best Regards, Marketing Department,
FelminaAlliance Inc."
Please note that recently I was informed by some of readers of a new compounding plan launched by ProfitableSunrise. Starting from November the 1st you can join the new 2.7% for 240 business days on full 100% compounding plan which will only be available till March 2013. I would NOT recommend joining this at all because although ProfitableSunrise is one of the most popular programs on MNO now taking #2 spot on my Premium list and running for about a year, I still believe putting money there would be a big mistake. There is no way the admin would be able to pay you such high interest in eleven months time (that is 240 business days!) and the thing that you can't withdraw anything for almost a year makes this plan totally useless for anyone. I'm not sure if you could see ProfitableSunrise up and running after eleven more months. However, I am really satisfied that the admin is kinda proactive on this front and that he's trying to collect more money from unsuspecting members who don't know how the industry works and hopefully use this money to pay off on the original investment plans paying 1.6%-2% for 180 business days with the original principal returned on expiry as analyzed in my review of the program published here. I hope that ProfitableSunrise continue the old via SolidTrustPay, EgoPay, LibertyReserve, or PerfectMoney of course, but please stay away from the new plan which is now available for a minimum price tag of a staggering $500. A new set of rules was established for the new Long Haul investment plan and published on the website by the admin Roman (interviewed here). Here they are, just for your information:
"Long Haul Plan.
– Long Haul is one of the investment plans available at ProfitableSunrise.
– 240 business days from the date of the first deposit is the duration of the Long Haul investment plan.
– In the Long Haul the compounding is set at 100% and cannot be disabled during the whole investment term.
– The interest rate paid under the Long Haul is 2.7% per business day.
– The Long Haul can only be started from November 1, 2012 till March 1, 2013.
– The minimum deposit in the Long Haul is $500.00
– E-currency deposits are not accepted in the Long Haul.
– The Easter Gift Balance will be paid to all customers during the Easter week. You will not be able to leave it in your account principal.
– After the Easter, the daily interest rate will be reduced to 2.35% in the Long Haul.
– The compounding can be disabled or limited in any account at our sole discretion.
– After March 1, 2013, you will not be able to make an additional deposits into the Long Haul."
There is a new communication platform in the form of a Skype chatroom now available for all the current and prospective members of Nubcoyu where you can discuss the program and share your opinions about it, its investment plan offering 1.4% interest for the duration of 200 business days, or its accepted payment processors which currently include SolidTrustPay, EgoPay, PerfectMoney, and LibertyReserve. Please note that other topics are also allowed but according to the admin of Nubcoyu (interviewed here) "childish behavior" will not be tolerated. In order to join the Skype chat you need to follow the steps provided by Nubcoyu in the latest newsletter from today where he introduced this chat room to the audience. And don't forget that both admin and his "cute girl" Misaki are also available on MNO ShoutBox from time to time, so you can ask her some questions about Nubcoyu (reviewed here) too:
"Nubcoyu Introduces Its Official Skype ChatRoom!
Dear Valued Investors,
Good evening everyone from Japan! I'd like to express my gratitude once again for your kind support for our program, which pays 1.4% Daily for 200 business days with NO principal return. I hope that everyone is taking care of your own hale and health, and would like to express concerns for those residing in US about your safety. Winter is just on the horizon and it surely is going to get a lot colder, so better be prepared for that.
After our last night's meeting session with our Nubcoyu group's members, we have come to a finalized decision to open our own Skype Chatroom. i notice that sometimes, email support system isn't fully practical, as I get 100+ emails per day from monitors offering advertisement deals. Some of you folks emails are just being buried under those, and sometimes we accidentally skipped it. Also, with Skype technology, we can provide more timely support in addition to MNO shoutbox. The main host will either be me (if I have time) or our dear Misaki-chan. Feel free to ask us any questions, however do pay respect to every attendants and NO "Childish Behaviors" I've seen on some other Skype rooms where people will just shout and scream and cry with words that make no sense at all. When problems occur, most educated people will brainstorm, stay optimistic and approach the solution step-by-step. This chat room is public, and we highly expect that everyone treats it as a public stage. However, feel free to make your at home and never hesitate to talk about daily life stuffs, as long as it's within the considerable manner and nettiquette. Please allow me to announce the rules of the chat room:
1. Please read the FAQs before asking any question. The answer might be just a few inches away.
2. Please refrain from "childish" and non-respectful behaviours. We don't mind having cheerful attitudes, but please don't start abusive behaviors.
3. Discussions about other programs are allowed in the manner of discussions and how it can be useful to Nubcoyu and our family. No outrage advertisements and please don't turn our chatroom into a "Ref Link Eden".
4. If you want to add someone into our Chatroom, please feel free to, but please inform me directly or leave me an offline message everytime. You wouldn't want someone to bring somebody else into our home without your consent, would you?
How To Get Yourself Into The ChatRoom?
1. Add my Skype ID: nubcoyuadmin
2. Request the permission into the chatroom by talking directly to me or leaving me offline message if I'm not available. You'll be added to the chatroom shortly.
3. Get added by someone you know!
That's all for our newsletter today and we greatly hope you'll have a good time.
Regards, Nubcoyu".
I have no idea what prevents LLLtd from processing withdrawal requests to STP as it seems all other programs have no problem doing so, however according to the admin he had a technical issue sending automated payouts which he hopes is fixed soon. Anyway, I can confirm that I was paid by LLLtd to all other payment processors except STP, and I hope which I hope the admin can solve as promised. Here is the latest from him:
"STP Withdrawals Delay
Dear Members,
Thank you for your supports so far. We have encountered a problem with STP API today and hopefully it will be fixed soon. You may experience a bit delay in this regard.
PM and LR withdrawals are processed as usual.
Thank you for your patience."
LLLtd was launched two weeks ago and during this time has been paying fine to a plan of 6.75%-7.5% for 20 days. They accept SolidTrustPay, LibertyReserve, and PerfectMoney deposits starting from $10 and you can read my full review of them here.
CarbonDeals (reviewed here) is delaying payouts as well but this time it concerns the withdrawals to all the payment processors – LibertyReserve, PerfectMoney, EgoPay, and SolidTrustPay. After 24 days online the program already established itself as paying pretty fast and it never took me the full 24 hours requested for any of the following investment plans – 108% after 1 week, 10% for 2 weeks + principal back, 5.2% for 28 days, 4.2% for 42 days, 3.8% for 56 days, or 3.6% for 70 days. I guess it's good that the admin Peter issued a newsletter explaining the delays which will alleviate some concerns that investors might hold. However we should remember that we can't know for sure if these technical difficulties are true and if CarbonDeals is going to resume payouts soon enough. Anyway, we will see tomorrow if the payouts are back to normal which will decide the status of CarbonDeals on MNO. I am going to watch the situation closely and report on my blog if and when payouts resume:
"Pending Payments
Esteemed Members,
We ran into some technical difficulties today and will be unable to make payments for the following 36 hours.
Please bear with us, as this is just a minor delay and everything will return to normal right after we are done with repairs.
This also gives us the time to perform much needed database maintenance work.
Best Regards, Peter Neperus. CarbonDeals."
Unfortunately the GangnamInv website was an apparent victim of malicious DDoS attacks on their servers by extortionists and till now it appears their current hosting provider cannot do anything to mitigate it. I believe that if nothing is done within the next couple of days GangnamInv will have no chance for survival. Of course it helps that the program is quite new and therefore didn't collect much money, however the momentum might be lost pretty soon and I don't believe the admin is going to be respected by his members if he cannot do anything about the attacks with his current hosting or just switch his program to a new more reliable one. At least he replied to me yesterday, so I will wait for a couple of more days and see what happens before moving GangnamInv to Problem status on MNO. They paid fine while still online but been moved to Waiting status due to the inaccessibility of its website as explained in the following email to me:
"Hello, we are under a huge DDoS attack, that guy asked for $250, we refused. We have contacted our DDoS provider, and they said they will try their best to resolve this problem asap. Thanks".
As I expected Frmoeg become a fast scam as the admin apparently had the malicious intention of it being so in the first place. I remind you that the program was praised (mostly by himself) as allegedly being run by an honest admin, a title the admin presented to himself of course but didn't actually earn. To tell you the truth, there is absolutely no such thing in the HYIP industry. You see, while the admin of Frmoeg (who was also the former admin of IntraFunds) issued refunds for his old venture, I doubt very much he'll do the same for Frmoeg. Generally speaking refunds in the HYIP industry are made in order to create the illusion of trust, and once done the admin hits you with an even bigger scam. Thankfully he failed as he wasn't particularly intelligent, though I know that's not much comfort to anyone who was caught out. The only intention of the newly launched program was to collect some fast cash from the former members of IntraFunds who swallowed the bait and fell into the "honesty" trap carefully crafted by the admin. Anyway, those who fell victim of this fast scam will hopefully learn their lesson and next time will see the double meanings and suspect the real agenda of an admin refunding money to anyone in round one and then launching a round two or a totally different program. Please note that any further investments in Frmoeg are not recommended as the program is only paying to STP at the moment while ignoring the payment requests to other payment processors (obviously, the admin fears that his STP account will be suspended if he stops the payments there). Frmoeg is on Problem status on MNO and will be removed to Scam shortly!
Today one more program joined the Premium list on MNO – NeoFunds. The program has just launched today and is offering a simple investment plan paying you (depending on your investment amount) from 8% to 9% daily for the duration of 15 calendar days with no principal back on expiry. So you should expect your total profit from 20% to 35% at the end of your investment term with NeoFunds. They accept four payment processors – LibertyReserve, PerfectMoney, PexPay, and SolidTrustPay – and the minimum to invest starts from $10. Please note that in order to invest in the chosen plan you first have to fund your account in NeoFunds from the payment processor of your choice. It's one of the peculiarities of the Gotenks script which NeoFunds runs off. The program has some kind of template design which I saw in other programs already, the site is SSL-secured, and is hosted on a dedicated server with BlackLotus protection. Hopefully NeoFunds will prove to be a decent program and I'll see how it develops with the full review of the program scheduled to be published on MNO tomorrow. Here's the first short message from the website all new members are greeted with:
"Our website is ready to use!
Don't miss out this opportunity and join us now to make the next big leader! We are open to all users from around the globe now."
Here is the list of the programs from my monitor that paid me for the last 48 hours:
From MNO Sticky list: ForexEarn, TheMoneyGalaxy, ProsperaNova, EndlessProfits, Phinanci.
From MNO Premium list: NewGNi, ProfitableSunrise, EurexTrade, FelminaAlliance, CarbonDeals, PerfectFinance, MajesticProfits, Tivsol, CaspianCapital, BensonUnion, StallionGold, AWTC, LLLtd, FinanceCore, DiamondAsset, TureProfit, ProForexUnion, Finnexia, Nubcoyu, Finnexia, StrongInvestment.
From MNO Standard list: UFOWin, BGTGroups, InvFuture, AustralianBusinessGroup, GoldenGambit (the first payments received).
From MNO Basic list: RoiChoice, XtremeRichness, InvestLand.
That's it for tonight. Bye for now and see you all tomorrow with the latest news from the industry! PM and LR withdrawals are processed as usual.NeoFunds

Journal editors are on board the APS AVID train, link.
APS is spending a lot of money and intends to spend a whole
lot more, on a program called AVID, link, and link.
They are spending so much money, in these hard times, that
they haven't told us how much they've spent, or intend to spend
in implementing the program in the APS.
AVID, Advancement Via Individual Determination, has proved pretty conclusively that, if you can identify students who are willing to work really hard and make a number of other important sacrifices in order to graduate high school and go to college, and then give them a whole bunch of resources and individual attention, they will succeed.
It is roughly the same kind to straightforward approach that APS used to raise its graduation rate; they took those least likely to graduate (students who had already failed the first year of high school) and dropped them out of their sample.
The good news, a lot of folks from AVID get to travel all over the country at taxpayer expense, and lot of APS administrators (and some teachers, I suppose) also get to travel on the taxpayer's dime, to "trainings" in different fun to visit locales.
Don't get me wrong. If you can identify students who really want to succeed, and who are willing to work hard in order to do so, by all means spend some money on them.
Just don't spend a bunch of money trying to make it look like
rocket science.

Is AVID just another APS boondoggle?
Journal editors are on board the APS AVID train, link.

Follow the money trail....
There's funding from feds for these programs, there's local funding, mainly from CNM for this program, CNM gets state funding for this program, the kids only have to go to APS 1/2 day, but APS gets full payment for them in the per capita.
The program does have some good things for high-achieving students, but I believe the money that comes in legal kickbacks are the main driver for this program.

text: Digital Paul Ryan Is The Most Talked About Politican On Facebook Mitt Romney's weekend bombshell naming seven-term Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) as his running mate continues to reverberate across Facebook, according to the Facebook-CNN Election Talk Meter.By Jennifer Moire|August 15, 2012 Share By Jennifer Moire|August 15, 2012 Share Mitt Romney's weekend bombshell naming seven-term Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) as his running mate continues to reverberate across Facebook, according to the Facebook-CNN Election Talk Meter.In fact, Ryan is now the most talked about politician on Facebook, replacing longstanding placeholder President Barack Obama, according to the cable news network and Facebook, in the first of what the partners say will be a series of stories evaluating the platform's role in the 2012 elections.CNN Political Director Mark Preston and Executive Producer Michelle Jaconi say the swing states of Virginia — where Romney announced Ryan as his vice-presidential pick — and New Hampshire were high on the list of buzz-producing states.Ryan's relatively low national profile before the pick enabled him to jump up the scale quickly. CNN also notes that Ryan's Facebook fans skew more male than female. CNN and Facebook have a complete breakdown of the demographics here.Facebook-CNN Talk Meter scores: Ryan 5.21 Obama 4.84 Vice President Joe Biden 4.01 Romney 3.74 Ryan currently has 501,000 fans since August, when his fan page didn't even exist. On Saturday, the day the announcement was made, Ryan added 222,100 Facebook fans. and since then has added nearly 238,000 more — an increase of 107 percent. What this means when the votes are counted in November is anyone's guess. But it's clear that Facebook is a critical platform for candidates running in 2012. According to CNN and Facebook, more than one-half of the U.S. population — about 160 million monthly active users — is on the social network. In 2008, there were 35 million monthly active users.Readers: Are you using Facebook to keep up with the 2012 races? Share http://adweek.it/2k8CikF copy Adweek Adweek

Book 2 of the Angelbound Offspring
- $2.99
- $2.99
Publisher Description
"I read this book in 1 day and that was because the story was just that awesome. I really liked Portia, she was not a whiny character. Did I mention how much I love Tempest? He was just the most awesome male, so hot and sexy. Please, please, please read it, you will THANK me later!" – The Angel's Pearl
Unlike her famous older brother Maxon, Princess Portia isn't known for killing demons or attracting admirers. The reason why is simple: a spell was cast on Portia, and the magic has marked her to one day transform into a dreaded Void demon.
To fight this horrible fate, Portia's spent her life hiding in libraries and learning magic. But when the Void demons threaten to destroy all the after-realms—and the handsome dragon Emperor Tempest offers his help—then Portia suspects that her future holds more than just a demonic metamorphosis.
Fate is calling the bookworm princess onto the battlefield.
This time, it's a fight against both deadly enemies and her heart's desires.

I want to have fun playing whatever the developers are inspired to make...I like playing things that brought joy to those that made them. Not dictating details is all part of that process...it does not alter the course of the inspiration...I let artists be artists. Translation: Let DE throw whatever they like at the players and hope something sticks. Allow me to explain how fun is SUBJECTIVE. To one person, they want warframe to be about OP powers. Nukes. Wanton destruction. Warframe is the title of the game, and warframes should be a core aspect of gameplay, with their abilities being essential. Not negated by various bosses or enemies To another person, they want call of duty in space. They want the game to be about their guns, and want other parts of the game to be changed so their guns shine. To yet another person, they want dynasty warriors in space. They want strong melee and strong ability play. To yet another, they may want Dark Souls in space. Slow, tactical, involved melee, with some OP elements in terms of one-shotting attacks with small attack radius, yet feeling a constant sense of vulnerability. To another person, it can be the side activities of fishing and looking for animals. To someone else, it can be about space combat, and want to see the recently added Railjack expanded to its full potential. To different person, it would be that 3 hours survival, or hitting 40 rounds of defense, being true endgame To another, 3x3 eidolons is true endgame, and hall way shooter survival is the draggiest slog ever To yet another, it's all about trading and earning plat. To yet another person, it's just fashioning up and not caring about combat. To some, it's just about playing that one warframe, getting consumed by that particular frame, identifying with it, living by it, rioting over it, advocating it to be buffed or everything else be nerfed so that particular thing, their main becomes the bestest ever To some others, it's all about modding for the biggest damage numbers ever in the simulacrum, with bestest riven ever and gradually forgetting what it means to play actual missions To yet others, it's sitting in region chat all day talking nonsense to randoms. DE's imagination created a space for all of the above, but at the same time, their haphazard choices of which parts of the community to listen to, sometimes destroys the spaces they created for some while exalting others. Not sure when DE will figure that out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When is the best time of year to sell your home?
Did you know that there are four distinctive selling seasons on the real estate calendar? Read on to understand when the peak and trough times are for sellers…
One of the most common questions I am asked is "When is the best time of year to sell?"
Here is my summary of the four 'selling seasons', commonly recognised by the real estate industry, and their pros and cons for you as a seller:
Season 1 – 'The Holiday Period' (Early/Mid December – Mid January):
This is one of the quietest times on the real estate calendar. Generally, not many home owners wish to be on the market over the holiday season. There are many reasons for this, including:
It's not that real estate transactions cannot or do not occur during this period, they are just far fewer than at any other time of year.
Summary: Very low sales volumes. Steady prices (although possibly lower due to lack of buyer competition).
Season 2 – 'The New Year/Summer Period' (Mid January – Autumn):
This is when the real estate sector wakes from its Christmas slumber. Listing numbers grow quickly, and general market activity accelerates. The first New Year campaigns kick off around mid to late January, and a good number of new properties consistently arrive on the market right through the summer months. Most owners tend to time their campaigns to result in a sale before the shorter days and wetter autumn weather arrives.
If there is a down side to listing your property at this time, it is that there is a lot of other property also available at the same time as yours. This provides more choice for buyers, and potentially less incentive for them to commit to your home. The positive is that when the sale is completed, there is more property available for you to consider for purchase.
Summary: Peak sales volumes. Good prices (currently).
Season 3 – 'The Autumn to Winter Period' (May – late August):
Generally speaking, this is a steady but quieter season in terms of real estate sales volumes. Home owners tend to hibernate for the winter, whilst planning their Spring actions. I regularly hear owners saying they want to hold off marketing their home until the lawns and gardens are looking better and the weather has improved for viewings. I actually believe that many home owners miss an opportunity here. There are always buyers looking to purchase a home, regardless of the time of year. The sellers that are prepared to market their home during the winter face far less competition from other listings, and as a consequence, often achieve premium prices. This can be a great time to sell, so if you are ready – don't hold off!
Summary: Subdued sales volumes. Strong prices.
Season 4 – 'The Spring Season' (September – Mid December):
This is the second boom listing season on the real estate calendar. Many owners who have been preparing their homes over the winter choose to launch their marketing campaigns. There is a noticeable surge of new listings and general market activity accelerates again after the quieter winter phase. Most campaigns aim for a sale result before the Christmas holiday season arrives. Once again, there is more competition for the attention of buyers due to the greater choice available. For this reason, property presentation is critically important. The interesting observation around this time is that sellers seem willing to sell their home because they are more confident of their chances of securing a purchase (due to the increased supply of property listings).
Summary: Peak sales volumes. Good prices (currently).
In summary:
So, is there a right and wrong time to sell? Sometimes this question is irrelevant due to a compelling need to sell now. For those of you who do have the flexibility to plan when you will bring your home to the market, consider the pros and cons I have outlined above and decide what is best for your particular circumstances. A quick chat to someone like me will provide you with the latest information on the current market conditions.
My final comment is that the summaries above are quite generic. The result you will achieve with your sale will be affected by many more factors other than just timing.
Want to know more?
Feel free to contact me if you'd like a chat about how to maximise the sale price on your home.

The Founding of Israel: The Journey to a Jewish Homeland from Abraham to the Holocaust
English | June 1st, 2018 | ISBN: 1526737159 | 248 Pages | EPUB | 3.27 MB
'Here [In the State if Israel] their spiritual, religious and political identity was shaped. Here they first attained statehood, created cultural values of national and universal significance, and gave the world the Eternal Book of Books.' David Ben-Gurion, 14 May 1948
Seventy years ago in 1948 the State of Israel came into being amidst great controversy. For many, the Jews did not belong in Palestine and around them many nations sought to eradicate the new state from the map.
How did the State arise? What led to the founding of Israel?
This book sets out to give a chronological journey of the Jewish people from the time Abraham came out of the land of Ur 3,000 years ago, until 6 million of them died in the horror of the Holocaust under Hitler and his Nazi regime.
It recounts the many expulsions from the land in which they lived, the suffering under Babylonians, Greek, Persians, the destruction of their Temple in Jerusalem in 70 AD, and finally, genocide and the expulsion by the Romans in 132 AD creating a diaspora across the world.
The Jews would be charged with killing God and throughout the following centuries would be expelled from countries, burned alive after being locked in Synagogues and at the stake, have all their property seized and herded into ghettoes. All of this until that fatal Holocaust, which attempted to wipe them from the face of the earth.
This book recounts their story to achieve a homeland , using a wide-range of historical documents to tell the story of humiliation, suffering, poverty and death. It tells of religious persecution that would not let them rest, and as their journey enters the twentieth century, gives a behind-the-scenes look at how governments manipulated the Middle East and exacerbated divisions.

1. Oh, that I Had a Thousand Voices
To praise my God with thousand tongues!
My heart, which in the Lord rejoices,
Would then proclaim in grateful songs
To all, wherever I might be,
What great things God hath done for me.
2. Dear Father, endless praise I render
For soul and body, strangely joined;
I praise Thee Guardian kind and tender,
For all the noble joys I find
So richly spread on every side
And freely for my use supplied.
3. I praise Thee, Savior, whose compassion
Hath brought Thee down to ransom me;
Thy pitying heart sought my salvation,
Though keenest woes were heaped on Thee,
Brought me from bondage full release,
Made me Thine own and gave me peace.
4. Glory and praise, still onward reaching,
Be Thine, O Spirit of all grace,
Whose holy power and faithful teaching
Give me among Thy saints a place!
Whate'er of good by me is done
Is of Thy grace and light alone.
5. Shall I not, then, be filled with gladness?
Shall I not praise Thee evermore
And triumph over fear and sadness,
E'en when my cup of woe runs o'er?
Though heaven and earth shall pass away,
Thy loving'kindness stands for aye.

The Swiss are known for their delicious chocolate and their no-interference policy, but today we are going to show you why architecture should be up on that list too!
Designed by Zurich-based architect professionals Gian Salis, the home that we are going to see today combines minimalism with a rustic look and feel. The result is a very trendy and sophisticated space that looks like it comes out of the pages of a design magazine, yet is functional and comfortable too.
Let's take a look at this beautiful design!
From this angle, we can see that the home is very subtle and sophisticated, blending naturally into the landscape. It is several storeys high, however, and features large glass windows and doors as well as exterior balconies and terraces. This allows the inhabitants to make the most of the outdoor space available to them.
The exterior facade features very neutral colors as well as wooden finishes, working beautifully with the natural fauna and flora that surrounds the home.
Our first glimpse of this very elegant yet subtle design reminds us of this: House of modern beauty in the trees.
If we go closer to the home, we can see that the facade is made from rustic concrete, contrasting with the smooth glass features and the wooden finishes. The overall effect is a very industrial chic look and feel!
We can see that plants and flowers play a big role in the exterior design of the home and not just in terms of the natural surrounds. The balconies and terraces are packed with pot plants and flowers, enhancing the beauty of the home.
The architects have worked with the landscape available to them, molding the home into the mountain. The result is a home of several layers, which seems to protrude naturally from the hill—like a rock simply jutting out. This is further reinforced by the flat roof.
The interior of the home is also very natural and basic, with screed floors, white walls and ceilings and, of course, the large glass windows and doors. Everything feels very spacious and bright in this home!
The dining room is very trendy yet minimalist, with only the most absolutely necessary furniture pieces and decor items included. You'll notice that the dining room is made up of a wooden table and an array of different, unique chairs, which create a very eclectic space. This is a great design tip for any home! The use of different chairs mixes this space up.
The designers have included soft white curtains on the windows, allowing the family to control the amount of sunlight that filters into this space. The interior also spills out onto the exterior terrace, creating a beautifully large living space.
If we make our way through the home, we come across the stairs that lead to the next level. Because this home is rustic, industrial and minimalist, the architects had to ensure that the functional elements of the home—such as the stairs—doubled up as decor elements that enhance the look and feel of the home.
The stairs do just that, creating a very chic and trendy way to travel up to the second floor! The cement stairs seem to float in air. They are softened by the light banister that lines the staircase.
If you like these kinds of stairs, have a look at these: 16 staircases that are above stunning.
Can you believe the beautiful views from the kitchen? The glass windows that encase this space allow for panoramic views of the surrounds.
The kitchen is a minimalist and chic white space, which works like a blank canvas. Wouldn't you be inspired to get cooking here?
The colorful fruits and vegetables add a homely touch to the kitchen, reminding us that this is a home not just a designer kitchen. Remember that you want your home to be a reflection of your personality and who you are, so it's good to add some personal and colorful elements like a vase of flowers or a bowl of fruit.
Artwork can also go a very long way!
Also have a look at these: Creative modern kitchen wall ideas.
The living room is one of the most stylish and sleek spots in the house, featuring a simple black leather sofa and a trendy yellow lamp. Because what else would you need after all?
There is no such thing as a television, a coffee table or a rug for these designers—they've stuck to the basics and the result is very powerful.
This is a very serene space where the residents can relax and soak up the surrounds. There is so certainly no clutter or chaos in this space.
Don't you love the touch of color in the form of the yellow lamp?

Developers of another historic building project in downtown Dallas say they plan to sell the city's economic development incentives in a special public offering.
Investor John Kirtland is redeveloping the landmark Tower Petroleum Building on Elm Street and the adjoining Corrigan Tower on Elm Street into a combination of luxury hotel rooms and loft apartments.
The city of Dallas is supporting the repurposing of the two vacant buildings with almost $20 million in tax increment finance district subsidies.
Kirtland's PetroCorrigan Towers LP plans to sell $20 million in bonds backed by the city's TIF commitment, according to filings with Dallas' Economic Development Committee.
If the deal is approved, it would be the second such large public sale of city incentives pledged for the redevelopment of a downtown project.
Developers who are renovating the historic Statler Hotel downtown sold bonds earlier this year backed by $46.5 million in city TIF subsidies for the project.
"After we heard about the first one with the Statler, we knew it would only be a matter of time until others sought this form of creative financing," said John Crawford of Downtown Dallas Inc. "It provides a unique way of getting more projects over the finish line that does not change the rules in terms of payout and risk for the city and continues to add to the growing tax base and revitalization of downtown."
The public debt offering was made through the State of Wisconsin Public Finance Authority, the agency that plans to issue the bonds for the Tower Petroleum and Corrigan Tower projects.
Sale of the tax-free bonds allows developers to access funds that wouldn't be provided from the city's tax increment finance for years.
Developers also typically sell the historic tax credits for these projects to help finance the renovations.
Dallas' City Council must approve the TIF fund sale.
The TIF subsidies paid from downtown property taxes won't be available to the developer until after the project is completed and are distributed over time.

West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey announced Thursday a toll-free tipline so West Virginians can report suspected Medicaid fraud.
Calls to the telephone number – 1-888-FRAUD-WV (1-888-372-8398) – go to the state's Medicaid Fraud Control Unit, which then has specialists who review the information to see whether it is actionable. The unit targets Medicaid provider fraud, patient abuse or neglect and financial exploitation.
"The tipline is a quick, easy way for every state resident to help protect Medicaid," Attorney General Morrisey said. "By working together, we can better provide for those who legitimately rely upon the Medicaid system as a safety net and thereby thwart those who game that system for criminal gain."
The Attorney General's Office assumed control of the Medicaid Fraud Control Unit on Tuesday, Oct. 1. The Attorney General believes the move will save taxpayers significant monies and yield greater efficiency and effectiveness to the benefit of the taxpayer.
The fraud unit investigates allegations of health care fraud committed against the Medicaid program for potential prosecution, along with allegations of the criminal abuse, neglect or financial exploitation of patients in Medicaid-funded facilities and residents in board and care facilities.
The unit is also responsible for investigating fraud in the administration of the Medicaid program. Its mission is to protect West Virginia's vulnerable residents and the integrity of its health care programs.
Transfer of the Medicaid fraud unit was made possible earlier this year through passage of Senate Bill 318. Many of those who supported the move cited the Attorney General's success in fighting Social Security disability fraud, a separate unit that has generated more than $18 million in savings since December 2015.

Topic: High definition mesh saving in the SPP file (Read 2713 times)
So i have a problem, i made somes models many times ago but i deleted the HP models files
I just noticed that substance painter project file didnt keep my HP files
and myself though that substance painter would keep it, i need to fix somes
of those models but i have to remake the HP ok well to bad for me but well ok that
my problem.
Could we have a HP file save option in the SPP file? and also in same time extract HP mesh aswell
That would be better for me and some other i guess who keep only the spp file than all files

Last Edit: June 12, 2019, 10:59:59 am
that would make the painter file really heavy, and its already very very heavy. Deleting files that you are still using is just bad idea in general.....

I wouldn't want that by default, but some functionality like 3ds Max's File>Archive would be nice for sending files to clients, team members in other studios, or doing what it says on the tin and archiving the work in case it needs to be revisited months or years later.
Max's Archive basically takes the Max scene itself (in this case it would be the Painter project) along with all other referenced bitmaps or assets and clumps them into a single ZIP file.
If you have scripting support on staff, something like this could also be set up separately, although a native option would be nice. For that matter, I'd actually like the option of carrying along the full PSDs that are referenced in a Painter project. Sometimes I'll set up a complicated PSD to lay out graphic elements using vectors, masks, effects layers, etc. to project onto an asset (like a computer screen or some graphic like a poster), and it would be nice if that came along for the ride so another user could open the SPP and export the PSD and make edits if need be.

When you say it like that, an "archive all" feature does sound really handy!

Howdy swaylockers,
First of all a big thank you to everyone who contributes to this amazing repository of board building knowledge.
This is #9, and I was pretty happy with how it was going until I surfed it. it is 5'9 x 20 1/2" x 2 3/8". Mckee quad setup and I put a wing on as a bit of a challenge. First time pigment.
Whenever I try to put it through a turn it seemed to suck water and want to sink, causing me to nurse every turn heavily.
It seems to be the rocker, or lack of (lesson learned). I have tried with smaller fins in the back, which seemed slightly better, but not a major improvement. I am think now either just two fins, some tiny nubs in the back, or maybe building a hard edge right up the length of the board...unfortunately I don't have a bunch of small fins for testing.
I would be gutted to have to get rid of this, but at the moment it is no fun to surf.
I am open to ideas anyone may have to improve the performance of the board, or perhaps a better trained eye can see there is something else causing this to be a dog.
Thanks again,

On our last trip to the reservation at the end of May we had a good trip even with the cold weather. Buffy Yankton asked if she could teach Sunday School and the children were totally into the idea and asked that we continue to hold Sunday School classes for them. We will need to round up some materials for the children as we are not yet set up very well for having Sunday school classes. This is just another good example of how the little "Lakota Wiconi Oyate Otipi "(the Lakota Peoples House of Worship) is growing every week.
We were able to take enough meat for each family at the church service on Sunday to have about 4 pounds of meat. We had about 150 pounds of food for a "give-a-way" at KILI radio after the radio devotional program along with some linens, household goods, lamb sausage and salmon steaks.
As we mentioned in an earlier update we have been given a cow to be processed into hamburger for the food bank. In addition; we received a deer for processing that was hit by a car. I may have told you earlier that we are on a list now with the Department of Wildlife to receive injured animals. As it happens it was our turn to receive an animal. The Lakota are especially fond of venison.
On a home visit we took communion to Lillie May Red Eagle our wonderful 94 year old WWII Veteran. She was very honored to receive us as a guest and to receive communion.

Proverbs 23:7 says, As a man thinks in his heart, so is he."
Our thoughts are important. They define us. They direct us.
~As a child when I had blood drawn, I required lying down so that I wouldn't faint.
"I need that blood. They are taking important blood that my body needs," my little mind figured. "I will be weak without it until my body makes more."
Little did I know that I fainted then simply because of my thoughts, not because of the blood loss. I fainted because I thought "fainting" thoughts.
As an adult, I no longer faint when having blood drawn because my thoughts have changed. I know that my body makes plenty of blood and can spare as many vials as the lab may need.
"They're taking extra blood that my body doesn't need," I tell myself. Now, while having blood drawn, I think non-fainting thoughts so I don't faint.
My focus and thoughts guide my actions. I think the way I want to go.
~My husband, Thom, races dirt bikes (motorcycles) in the woods for fun. He knows that his focus determines his direction. He knows that if he mistakenly focuses on the trees lining the trail, he will crash into one of them. Instead, he chooses to focus only on the trail ahead of him so that he will stay safely on it.
His focus and thoughts guide his actions. He thinks the way he wants to go.
We, as Christians, must focus on and think true thoughts. When we call ourselves sinners, we are not agreeing with God about who we are or what He has done for us. This is not only rude, it is ignorant, disgraceful and blasphemous to Him. Christ did not die to leave us sinners! He died so that we could be like Him in the new nature He has given us (2 Cor. 5:17).
When we decide to agree with God and call ourselves the new nature as He does, then we slowly begin to act like the new nature. Over time, the repetition of telling ourselves the truth will act as the tiny rudder that turns the whole ship around. During the process of learning who He has made us, we give ourselves grace, truth and time as first our identity, then our character gradually transforms.
So, what does this look like in real life? In my case, self talk sounds like this, "If I am the new nature –which I am because God says so- then what would the new nature do in this particular circumstance? She would walk in agreement with God because she is one spirit with Him." Then I find out what His word reveals about the reality of the situation and my appointed path in it.
If the situation seems foreign or awkward to me, I prayerfully imagine myself repeatedly walking on the appointed path according to His Word to lay down the pathways in my brain for me to actually walk in it. Then I ask God for wisdom, courage, strength and peace to follow through on it.
If I struggle to follow the Lord, I ask Him to show me the blockage. If necessary, I get help from a friend, relative, therapist or whoever can help me break through.
And sometimes in my weakness I just pray, "Lord, I cannot do this! But I fully surrender to you and trust you, and ask that you lead me and do it through me."
He always honors my weakness!
But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. (2 Cor. 12:9).
The old nature faints. The new nature stays conscious.
The old nature crashes into trees. The new nature rides on the open path.
The old nature feeds on lies. The new nature feeds on truth.
Focus on Christ and the new nature He has made you.
Every Scripture points you to the Glorious Christ, and your glorious new nature in Him (John 5:39)!
Our thoughts are important. They define us. They direct us.
Think the way you want to go.
Proverbs 23:7 As a man thinks in his heart, so is he."
John 5:39 You search the Scriptures because you think they give you eternal life. But the Scriptures point to me!
2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!
2 Corinthians 12:19 My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me.

Workplace Personal Injuries in Massachusetts
As a Massachusetts personal injury lawyer, we often represent families where the person injured was engaged in his or her employment at the time of the injury. Frequently this is a construction type of accident, in which both worker's compensation and Massachusetts third party liability is involved. Thus, it's important to see what are the most dangerous jobs in Massachusetts.
In 2011, the most dangerous job in Massachusetts was firefighting. Perhaps it was particularly awful year, but in 2011, 13 firefighters died from work related injuries. That was 22% of all work related deaths in 2011. Firefighters face numerous job related dangers including exposure to carcinogens, lung disease and cardiac illness from stress.
The leader in 2010 was construction, with 10 deaths; construction related deaths were reduced to 8 in 2011. This information is from the Massachusetts Coalition for Occupational Safety and Health report issued this month. The total number of workplace deaths in 2011 was 58, while the number in 2010 was 47.
It is not clear what this means statistically, but the loss is even more tragic when we learn that the leading causes of death was Massachusetts motor vehicle accidents. This was true in 2010 as well, with 12 fatalities each year. The next leading cause of workplace deaths was workplace violence, with 6 fatalities. Drowning was the third, with 5 losses.
What the study doesn't highlight, but what we are concerned with as well, is that there were 50,000 serious injuries sustained at work in 2011. We will examine the breakdown of these injuries at another time.
One of the overall workplace injury problems is the temporary hiring of low skilled labor. This is especially true when the workers have limited English ability and the jobs are dangerous. Apparently this is especially true when the workers work for temporary agencies, where there may be less training.
Massachusetts does not have an independent Occupational Safety and Hazard Administration like many other states. OSHA laws tend to be responsible for increased workplace safety and are associated with employers taking action rather than simply paying nominal fines.
Firefighters and police officers tend to have excellent worker's compensation systems. Union construction jobs have good plans as well, however, they are still subject to the Massachusetts worker's compensation laws, which at best provide only 60% of your lost earnings. As a personal injury lawyer in Massachusetts, I see many "third party" injury cases. That is, those cases in which the worker has a claim against a third party for their injuries. For example, if you are driving for work and a truck rear ends you and you are injured, you have a third party claim against the driver and owner of that truck. The same is true if you are a construction worker on a worksite where another company's worker's negligence causes your injuries. Many times folks do not realize that they have a third party claim because they never consult with an experienced construction accident attorney.
Another issue in Massachusetts is repetitive injuries or stress related injuries where employers are more reluctant than in traumatic injuries to agree to pay a worker's compensation claim.
For a consultation on a third party injury claim, call us for a free consultation at 617-227-7423.
