Addicted to Real Estate – Why I Can't Stop and Why You Should Start
The All-Money-Down Technique
So how does the all-cash down strategy work by obtaining a home with money? As a matter of first importance, let me rehash that I really didn't have any money, yet I had a lot of value from Terry's home and a few homes that I possessed set up together to give me a considerable money up front installment. Banks and home loan organizations the same will acknowledge cash from a home-value credit extension as money to buy a home. At any rate they did in 1997 under the money related rules of the day. What you should recall about home loans and loaning is that the rules change always, so this strategy I utilized in 1997 might possibly have the option to be utilized later on. Regardless of whether it is or can't be utilized again doesn't really make a difference to me as I accept that there will consistently be an approach to purchase real estate with restricted cash down at some point or another. There will consistently be a system to get real estate yet precisely how that will be done later on I'm not totally sure.
I started acquiring homes in the Mayfair segment of Philadelphia with the costs in the $30,000 to $40,000 per home value extend. I would buy a home with three rooms and one restroom on the second floor with a kitchen, lounge area, and parlor on the principal floor and a storm cellar. What we call a column home in Philadelphia would comprise of a patio out front and a lawn the width of the home. Most line homes in Philadelphia are under twenty-two feet wide. For those of you who are not from Philadelphia and can't picture what a Philadelphia push home resembles, I recommend you watch the film Rocky. Twenty-two homes on each side of each square will really test your capacity to be a neighbor. Things that will typically cause a contention with your Philadelphia neighbors frequently come from stopping, clamor your youngsters make, where you leave your rubbish jars, parties, and the presence of your home.
In 1998 my better half and I moved in together and to suburbia of Philadelphia called Warminster. Subsequent to living on a road in Tacony, much like Rocky did, I really anticipated having space between my home and my nearby neighbor. I informed Terry not to try and think concerning chatting with the individuals who lived nearby to us. I advised her in the event that one of them comes over with a nut cake I am going to take it and punt it like a football directly into their terrace. I trust I was experiencing Philadelphia push home disorder. My new neighbors in Warminster ended up being awesome individuals, yet it took me eighteen months before I was happy to discover that.
So you just purchased your line home for $35,000 in Mayfair, and after $2000 in shutting costs and $5000 in fix costs, you get yourself a decent occupant who needs to lease the home. Subsequent to leasing the home with a positive income of $200 per month, you presently have a remarkable obligation of $42,000 on your home value credit extension that should be paid off. When buying the home, I didn't get a home loan as I just bought a home for money as it is said in the business. All monies I spent on this house were spent from the home-value credit extension.
The move currently is to take care of your home-value credit extension so you can go do it once more. We presently go to a manage an account with your repaired property and tell the home loan office that you need to do a money out renegotiating of your real estate speculation. It clarifies that the local you buy your property in ought to have a more extensive scope of evaluating as the area of Mayfair did in the mid-90s. The evaluating of homes in Mayfair is very surprising as you would see a $3000 contrast in home estimations starting with one square then onto the next. This was significant when doing a money out renegotiating in light of the fact that it's really simple for the bank to see that I just purchased my property for $35,000 paying little heed to the way that I did numerous fixes. I could legitimize the way that I've spent more cash on my home to set it up, and by placing an occupant in, it was presently a gainful bit of real estate from a speculation stance.
In the event that I was fortunate like I was many occasions over doing this arrangement of buying homes in Mayfair and the appraiser would utilize homes a square or two away and return with an examination of $45,000. In those days there were programs enabling a financial specialist to buy a home for 10 percent down or left in as value doing a 90 percent money out renegotiate giving me back generally $40,500. Using this procedure enabled me to get back a large portion of the cash I put down on the property. I essentially paid only $1,500 down for this new home. For what reason did the home loan organizations and the appraisers continue giving me the numbers I needed? I expect in light of the fact that they needed the business. I would just advise the bank I need this to come in at $45,000 or I am simply keeping it financed as it stands. They generally appeared to give me what I needed sensibly speaking.
This entire procedure took three to four months during which time I may have spared a couple thousand dollars. Between the cash I spared from my activity and my ventures and money out renegotiating, I had recharged most or the entirety of my assets from my home-value credit extension that was currently practically back to zero to start the procedure once more. What's more, that is actually what I proposed to do. I utilized this framework to buy four to six homes a year using a similar cash to buy home after home after home again and again. In reality, the method is a no-cash down or minimal expenditure down system. At the time possibly I had $60,000 in accessible assets to use to purchase homes off of my HELOC, so I would purchase a home and afterward renew the cash. It was a dynamite strategy that was legitimate, and I could see my fantasy about being a real estate speculator full-opportunity approaching to a possible reality despite the fact that I wasn't there yet.
During the years from 1995 to 2002, the real estate advertise in Philadelphia made progressive increments of possibly 6 percent as every year went on. I started to follow my total assets that was 100 percent value, which means I had no different types of ventures to see while ascertaining my total assets. As a rule, the initial five years of my Yangon real estate vocation went poorly in light of the terrible choices I made obtaining structures and the decrease in the market. Besides, my absence of information and involvement with fixes made it a harsh. The second five years of my real estate profession that I simply got done with clarifying didn't get a lot of money flow either. I bolstered myself fundamentally through my profession as a sales rep, however I could recognize what would be inevitable that not far off real estate would have been my full-time gig.
Realty Professionals of America
I claim a place of business that has a real estate organization as an occupant called Realty Professionals of America. The organization has a fantastic arrangement where another specialist gets 75 percent of the commission and the agent gets just 25 percent. On the off chance that you don't have any acquaintance with it, this is a truly decent arrangement, particularly for another real estate specialist. The organization likewise offers a 5 percent sponsorship expense to the specialist who supports them on each arrangement they do. In the event that you bring a person who is a realtor in to the organization that you have supported, the merchant will pay you a 5 percent sponsorship out of the dealer's end with the goal that the new realtor you supported can in any case gain 75 percent commissions. Notwithstanding the abovementioned, Realty Professionals of America offers to expand the realtor's bonus by 5 percent in the wake of accomplishing aggregate commission benchmarks, up to a limit of 90 percent. When a commission benchmark is come to, a specialist's bonus rate is possibly diminished if commissions in the next year don't arrive at a lower standard sum. I as of now keep 85 percent of every one of my arrangements' payments; in addition to I get sponsorship checks of 5 percent from the commissions that the operators I supported procure. In the event that you'd prefer to study being supported into Realty Professionals of America's brilliant arrangement, it would be ideal if you call me legitimately at 267-988-2000.
Getting My Real Estate License
Something that I did in the late spring of 2005 in the wake of leaving my all day work was to make arrangements to get my real estate permit. Getting my real estate permit was something I constantly needed to do yet never appeared to have the opportunity to do it. I'm certain you've heard that reason a thousand times. Individuals consistently state that they will accomplish something soon as they discover an opportunity to do it, however they never appear to discover the time, isn't that right? I make an effort not to let myself rationalize anything. So I've decided before I at any point left my all day work that one of the primary things I would do was to get my real estate permit. I tried out a school called the American Real Estate Institute for a fourteen day full-time program to get my permit to sell real estate in the territory of Pennsylvania. Two fantastic folks with a universe of experience showed the class, and I delighted in the time I spent there. Following finishing the course at the American Real Estate Institute, I booked the following accessible day offered by the state to take the state test. My instructors' recommendation to take the test following the class ended up being a phenomenal proposal. I finished the test decisively and have utilized my permit commonly since to purchase real estate and lessen the costs. In the event that you will be a full-time real estate speculator or a business real estate financial specialist, at that point you nearly need to get a permit. While I know a couple of individuals who don't accept this, I'm persuaded it's the main way.
I took a shot at one arrangement at $3 million where the commission to the purchaser's real estate specialist was $75,000. When my representative took an offer, I strolled with $63,000 commission on that arrangement alone. With the normal expense every time of being a realtor running about $1200 every year, this one arrangement alone would've paid for my real estate permit for fifty-three years. Also the various incidental advantages like approaching the numerous posting administration offered such a large number of realtors in this nation. While there are different approaches to gain admittance to the numerous posting

How To Choose The Best Pediatrician For Your Baby
Looking back to my own pregnancies, one of the tasks I found most daunting, especially the first time, was trying to find the right pediatrician for a baby I hadn't even yet met. In fact, with my first pregnancy, I put it off until I was already in early labor because I was so scared to pick the wrong doctor! Now that I've been through the process a few times, I decided to share a few of the questions I ask and things I pay attention to when considering a doctor to be our pediatrician.
#1. Ask how closely they follow AAP (American Academy of Pediatricians) recommendations.
While this one may seem like a no-brainer, you'd be surprised how many doctors will actually scoff at the recommendations released by AAP and WHO (World Health Organization) and make recommendations that can be dangerous.
#2. Ask who they refer to for breastfeeding problems.
This question is a really great way to see how supportive your doctor will be when it comes to breastfeeding. If they bring up formula samples, it's safe to say that that pediatrician may not be the most supportive of breastfeeding. Many pediatricians now have Certified Lactation Consultants in office, which can be a huge help. Either way, this is a great question to ask to see if your views and the doctor's views match up.
#3. Sit in the waiting room for a while.
I think the waiting room is such an important part of choosing a pediatrician! Do they have a separate room for sick children, to help minimize the spread of illness? When families check-in, does the staff act friendly and happy, or as though they are being inconvenienced? If the office is very busy, at all times, this means you are a bit more likely to be able to schedule a same-day appointment, though the staff may not be as personable.
#4. Ask how the doctor would treat an ear infection.
The way the pediatrician answers this question will give you insight as to how they will handle any ailment with your child. Are they quick to prescribe medicine? Do they prefer to take a "wait and see" approach? You might even get a talk on antibiotic resistance. It's important to choose a care provider for your child that will line up with your own philosophies so that you don't feel like you have to fight for your child to receive the care you think they need.
Now, go out and schedule some consultations with pediatricians. If you need some recommendations to get started, don't hesitate to reach out, and I'll be more than happy to send you a list of doctors that my clients and I have loved!

No is one of the first words that most children learn. Before the age of one, babies start to develop an understanding of the word 'no'. It's often one of the first words that children will start to say. Negatives form an extremely important role in language and social development!
There are a few different forms of negatives: non-existance, where a child is expressing that something is not there, e.g. "No cookie!" if the cookie tin is empty. Refusal, where a child expresses refusal,e.g. "No bath."if she doesn't want to take a bath. Denial, where the child is claiming something as false,e.g. "Not sausage!" if she believes that a veggie has been falsely identified as a sausage.
Whilst this development is usually normal, some children struggle to use negation and negatives appropriately. A child may use 'yes' to answer all yes/no questions, without fully understanding the meaning of the question and without really meaning "yes". This is something that is often seen in children who have specific language impairments or autism.
How can you help teaching negatives ("no") at home?
Use gestures to make the concept more concrete. Using gestures can assist children who have language learning difficulties to develop language. Look up the gesture for no in Baby Sign. This may vary in different areas, as most methods of Baby Sign is based on that country's sign language. Use this sign consistently when you use the word 'no' or 'not'. Make sure to still speak when you use the sign! It is meant to augment verbal language, not replace it. Ask yes/no questions when your child needs to make a choice. Encourage small responses.
Look at books n pictures together. Start by asking yes/no questions, e.g. "Is the lady wearing glasses?" and "Is that ball blue?". You can also target the understanding of negatives, give instructions like "Show me the lady who does not have glasses." "Show me the dog with no spots".
Play games such as Zingo, or matching games (bingo is a good one). I'm a massive fan of Zingo! It's such a great learning tool. Ask your child yes/no questions: "Do you have a dog on your board?".
There are many materials on Teachers Pay Teachers that are great to target yes/no questions and negation. You can find one resource that I've made here! Yes/No Questions in the Garden

Thomas J. Jackson's VMI Epaulets
These are the original gilded brass epaulets worn by professor Thomas J. Jackson on formal occasions during his tenure at the Virginia Military Institute (VMI) in Lexington. The metal castle atop each shoulder, which is often confused with the Gothic Revival barracks at VMI, was actually based on the insignia worn at that time by newly commissioned West Point cadets. The same castle logo became the formal insignia of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
In 1851 Jackson resigned from the U.S. Army and accepted a position as professor of natural and experimental philosophy (akin to modern physics) and artillery instructor at VMI; he taught for ten years, until 1861, when he took up active military service for the Confederacy. Jackson became one of General Robert E. Lee's ablest commanders, earning the nickname Stonewall.
These epaulets, which were made by W. H. Horstmann & Sons in Philadelphia, were placed on permanent loan to the Museum of the Confederacy in 1896 by Jackson's widow, Mary Anna Jackson. Known as the Widow of the Confederacy, Jackson did not remarry and became a devoted member of the United Daughters of the Confederacy. After her death in Charlotte, North Carolina, in 1915, she was buried next to her husband in Lexington.

Who reviews my application?
Each application is carefully reviewed by a VFA team member, Fellow, and/or alum. As we care deeply about ensuring equity in our process, a committee of expert interviewers review all decisions at each stage. As candidates move forward in the process to the written essay, the video interview, and Selection Day, we collectively weigh in on each decision so that your candidacy may be considered from as many perspectives as possible.

The entire process from pressing submit to landing your offer can take up to eight weeks, as we appreciate the time and effort candidates devote to the process and hope to return the favor with careful consideration.

The admissions process is identical for each cycle, and you should apply to the deadline that works best for you and your schedule.
Is there an advantage to applying early?
Our criteria remain the same for every deadline, but we suggest applying to the earliest deadline that suits your schedule.

Due to the competitive nature of the Fellowship, we typically don't offer extensions or deferrals.

Yes, as long as you're still within three years of graduating college. Our Fellowship is designed for recent grads (meaning graduating seniors, those a year or two into their careers, or grad students with a year or two of advanced schooling).

No. Fellows need to be able to attend Training Camp full-time in July 2020. We require that all applicants expect to graduate by June at the latest.

If you are absolutely unable to attend an in-person Selection Day due to study abroad, active military service, etc., please reach out to the Selection Team at firstname.lastname@example.com for alternative interview options.
I applied to VFA last year, can I reapply?
Yes. If you are still eligible (within three years of graduating), we welcome you to reapply. We have multiple Fellows who applied more than once.
Please note: you may only apply once per application season.
Do I have to be a business or computer science major?
No. You don't have to be a programmer or a business major to be a great Fellow. In fact, 75% of Fellows work in non-technical roles.
All kinds of skills can translate into success at a startup job, as long as you're ready to hustle, try new things, and learn on the go. If you've been a leader on campus, gained skills at internships or jobs, and care about finding a career where you make a real impact day-to-day, you might be a great fit!

What is self love?
According to google the all knowing, Self Love is regard for one's own well-being and happiness (chiefly considered as a desirable rather than narcissistic characteristic). This week is Valentines and growing up I was never a huge fan of the holiday especially during high school. I wasn't the popular kid, I wasn't a nerd either, I was just kind of there. I had a few boyfriends but never on Valentines Day. So when Valentine's Day came around I always I remember feeling sad because I didn't have someone. I remember in school other girls would get valentines and I felt like I was missing out. So I started to ponder, what if instead of Valentines Day being a day to focus on love from others, which don't get me wrong feels great and is important, that we take this day, week, or month to focus on self-love. Then everyone would feel included, and no one would feel left out. In the end this seems like it could be wonderful for all humans.
So this week I have decided to do that. Focus all week on self-love. Both on my yoga mat, in my teaching, and in my personal life. One of the best ways I have learned to practice self-love is to observe my thoughts. Taking a minimum of five minutes to just get quiet. This centers me for the rest of the day. Just 5 minutes gets my mind in a space to be more mindful for the rest of my day. From this practice, I have become more aware of the negative thoughts as they appear throughout my day. When they pop up, I feel them, label them, acknowledge them, and then turn them around and create a powerful affirmation. The key is to then, repeat. repeat. repeat. Throughout the day I repeat the new affirmation. The affirmation of self-love. It is through the repetition that I get stronger. On the yoga mat I will always repeat a sequence, often adding on to it each round. It has been shown through repetition that we gain physical strength, but we also gain mental strength. I have noticed this both in my body and in my mind.
If we are constantly telling the self we are not "good enough, smart enough, successful enough, or strong enough the mind will create and seek circumstances to reinforce it. However, the same is true if we tell ourselves that we are "good enough, smart enough, successful enough, strong enough" the mind will seek opportunities to prove this. It is called the law of attraction. Direct your thinking towards what you want in your life, and your thinking will materialize whatever you want in your life. So simple, but so many of us fall into default thinking, not even aware of our thoughts and how powerful they are. So this week or this Thursday why not set your thoughts on self-love.
Another way to manifest more self-love in our lives is to take a minimum of 5 minutes a day to do something that you enjoy. Not something that you are required to do, but to embrace your inner child, grab a cup of tea, a good book, dance around your house, go for a walk, or just sit quietly. When we give ourselves permission to take time for the self we are practicing self-love. In my opinion this is not selfish. This is necessary in order to be a more loving, patient, kind individual for others.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Robert Hurt (R-Virginia) today delivered the following opening statement at the House Committee On Financial Services oversight hearing with Securities and Exchange Commissioner Mary Jo White. The Committee today continued to exercise oversight over federal agencies to protect taxpayers from wasteful bureaucratic spending:
Click here or above to watch the opening statement
Robert Hurt Opening Statement Text
"Mr. Chairman, thank you Chairman for holding today's Committee hearing. I too join in welcoming Chairman White to this Committee.
"I believe that a foremost responsibility of this Committee is to provide the appropriate oversight and scrutiny of the federal agencies' budgets under our jurisdiction. At a time when our nation is approaching a national debt of 17 trillion dollars, federal agencies must learn to work smarter and do more with less.
"As we have seen from this budget request, the SEC has requested a 33% increase in funding. Undoubtedly, Washington, D.C. has piled new responsibilities onto the SEC as a consequence of Dodd Frank. I remain concerned, however, that the SEC has not made the necessary changes to its internal operations and structure, nor prioritized much-needed technology upgrades to oversee our capital markets.
"Additionally, it is important that we ensure that the SEC is committed to completing the rulemakings required by Congress on time, such as those implementing the JOBS Act. I think we can agree that properly functioning capital markets will lead to the real jobs that Americans need – that the people in my Virginia district need.
"I'd like to thank you again for your appearance here, thank you, Mr. Chairman, for holding this hearing, and I yield back my time."

Kerala has some very unusual and beautiful things to see, do and eat. However amongst all of these, there are loads of other smaller unsual sights that go quite un-noticed. I have one such small sight in the pic below.
We were served this unusually cut pineapple on a house boat in Alleppey; and while I have seen pineapples served in numerous ways, I have never seen anything like this. But the best part of this beautiful presentation was that you can just pick up the pieces and directly eat. 🙂

Patients treated with the anti-epileptic drug Valproic Acid are more susceptible to decreased bone mass, according to a report published in the journal Neurology.
Researchers studied 40 people with epilepsy who have been taking valproic acid as their sole anti-epileptic drug (AED) for over a year. Sixty per cent of the participants in the group had a reduced bone mineral density (BMD), the measure of the amount of calcium in the bone, with around a quarter of the group showing signs of osteoporosis.
Previous studies have shown that several AEDs caused the formation of enzymes that reduced levels of vitamin D and resulted in the reduction of the BMD. However, as valproic acid does not produce these enzymes, the authors, led by Dr Yoshihiro Sato of the Hirosaki University School of Medicine, were surprised at the level of BMD reduction in the group.
Dr Sato commented that regular measurements of bone density should be performed on patients who are taking valproic acid for their epilepsy.

Dear Uterus
Dear Uterus, The time has come for you to go. And, I'd really like for you to take all your little friends with you. You've been a good companion for some of our 54 years together. But the thing is you've really outstayed your welcome. To put it bluntly, Uterus, you've wreaked havoc on my life right around the time AARP fliers started arriving in the mailbox. Sure, we've been through a lot together, Uterus. I would be remiss if I didn't thank you with all my heart for the early 1990s. You cradled my two babies for nearly 19 months. Healthy, beautiful babies, who have grown into two of my favorite people in the world.

The Future of FinTech
Gabriel is an Operating partner of Seedplus, is a Singapore-focused VC, he has participated as a mentor with Startupbootcamp FinTech since 2015. He recently joined us for our TIA online pitch session, during the pitch session had some great views on FinTech and the local ecosystem, so we asked him to elaborate…
Singapore and the Existing Ecosystem
FinTech is one of the pillars of our investment thesis at SeedPlus, a seed-stage venture fund. Our investors and partners are supportive given the scale of the opportunity, but all the same, there is a perception that across all fields of applied technology, financial technology is one of the slower-moving for startups.
To a large extent, this stems from the higher stakes: Direct fiscal impact is certain to yield a measure of caution both from users and their regulatory representatives! The Monetary Authority of Singapore's new sandbox guidelines is thus a refreshing take on the regulatory side, since established financial institutions can now let real end users be a part of proof-of-concept startup partnerships and have a pre-approved regulatory blessing.
Singapore already plays a role as a natural base of operations for growing companies – both as a first international expansion for startups in the region looking beyond their initial market, and as entry point for overseas companies looking to expand to Southeast Asia – and the new regulations will make the FinTech ecosystem even more appealing for FinTech startup ideas in regulated domains.
Our Viewpoint and Role
On the nascent end of Southeast Asian markets, we're proponents of nuance: Access to financial services ("being banked") is not a binary quality – there is a gradient of financial inclusion starting from the first mobile wallet. Once this cornerstone is put in place the opportunities are plentiful: money transfers, personal finance education, credit scoring, insurance, and wealth management form roughly ordered stepping stones.
Emerging or established markets notwithstanding, I and my partners subscribe to the oft-repeated words of Marc Andreessen: that "software is eating the world". We're putting that to practice, since a sizeable part of our fund is earmarked for companies that use technology to dislodge the status quo in existing businesses. Financial services are at the top of the list, and when you combine that with the regional applicability of solutions – either immediately and exponentially, or incrementally as the relevant financial infrastructure spreads – we are certainly eager to participate in the ecosystem.
Where The Two Meet
Looking at the current state, then, I can distinguish three trends in the FinTech startups I meet:
First, there are those that share our viewpoint on enabling the lesser-banked and are building ahead of the curve, waiting for the number of market participants in the region to grow along with them. The opportunity to start trying them out in a more mature ecosystem already in the present is a great advantage, and basing the company in Singapore allows for market validation in a supportive regulatory environment.
Second, we commonly see transplants of a model which has done well overseas – in some ways, looking at what works in other markets that are experimenting at the cutting edge of FinTech. Headquartering in Singapore, they usually have some advantage in getting regulatory approval and mindshare with local and regional financial institutions, and execution and expansion quickly becomes the name of the game. While the opportunity is large, as a product manager I confess I am more interested in direct innovation!
Third, there are direct applications of the world-eating adage. Whether through advances in machine learning, new mobile technology or good old-fashioned footwork, they're making some part of the running of existing financial institutions like banks, wealth managers and insurers more automatic, user-friendly, precise or cost-efficient. Given that the MAS sandbox requires the sponsorship of an existing financial institution, these startups are possibly the best-placed to take advantage of the regulatory flexibility.
Ultimately, given my background at the interface between technology and end user, at SeedPlus I'm excited about companies that differentiate on the user experience. Financial services have a reputation of being jargon-filled, heavy on forms and generally obtuse, so it is incredibly satisfying to see already see companies make money management approachable, and looking at the opportunities ahead I am excited, if not elated!

By: Jim Matorin, Business Catalyst at SMARTKETING: Tech-friendly pragmatist that specializes in innovation and revitalizing businesses.
Smart marketers recognize the magnitude social platforms contribute to their marketing movements, thus are now exhibiting more discipline (internally or with the assistance of outside resources) monitoring and measuring their products' or services' online reputation. Analyzing all the online data is a momentous task, especially in light of current research (source: Brandwatch) indicating 96% of people that discuss brands, do not directly engage with the brands online. Once a company properly filters through all the online data, they are in better position to create a positive customer care experience that yields loyalty. Note: A Social Sprout survey re: a good customer care experience; 75% of the respondents were most likely to share their experience with social connections and 70% were most likely to use the brand or service.
Last year (August), I contributed a two-part podcast on Advanced Twitter analytics, a free tool I highly recommend utilizing this tool for marketers responsible for monitoring their company's online reputation. Therefore, it was exciting to learn that Twitter decided to elevate their game this past Sunday and set an objective of being the top social media destination during the Super Bowl, a titanic event for brand marketing movements. They created #BrandBowl, a place where advertisers and Twitter users congregated during the game. Their goal was to enhance Twitter engagement. In addition, to generate post-game buzz, they handed out awards for the best ads. PepsiCo was the big winner. It was awarded #MVP for the brand (Pepsi) receiving the highest percentage of brand-related tweets and #Blitz for the brand (Doritos & Mountain Dew) that drove the highest velocity of tweets-per-minute.
The official Super Bowl 52 Twitter statistics have not been published yet. Nevertheless, #BrandBowl was a clever, substantial way to get marketers to better understand the power of Twitter as an excellent social platform to build a company's social reputation.

I'm a little sad to report that our experience at the Quarryhill Botanical Garden in Glen Ellen was a bit underwhelming. In the park's defense, spring is probably the best time to tour the garden, not mid-fall.
I don't mean to say that we didn't enjoy our time there. I just expected larger grounds and a greater variety of blooms, especially when considering the $15 admission fee.
Many of the plants in the park bore interesting fruits I'd never seen before, but I counted only about a half dozen types.
While the scenery wasn't particularly memorable, the smell of the place certainly was.
I'm not sure what its origin was– whether it was the flowers or the strange fruits we encountered– but there was this pervasive fragrance throughout the entire park. Part citrus, part overripe stone fruit, part… hay? It was oddly pleasant.
We left after only an hour, partly because we'd finished exploring the grounds, and partly because we had an unhappy camper.
Again, I'm confident that this place is beautiful in the springtime. We just picked the wrong time to visit!

Our contractor and his employees came over Friday morning to start the demo for Eli and Dax's bathroom. I forgot how unbelievably loud and dusty this part of a project is. The bathroom is above our kitchen, and I was really nervous that our giant mirror would come off of the wall. We did lose one light bulb from our light fixture.
By the time I picked up E from school, came home, made lunch, and ate lunch, they were done. This was just in time for naps so that worked out in our favor for sure.
They didn't run into any problems, so hopefully the rest of the remodel goes just as smoothly!

The Diner Islington, Relaunch
Last week, a couple of us Bangarangers were invited to the newly refurbished Diner in Islington. This was not to be my 1st Diner experience as I'm already a BIG fan ,however it was my 1st ever visit to their Islington branch, but it shan't be my last! I attend quite a few live music concerts in the area, so The Diner would be a great spot to hit pre-gig.
The big windows at the front make it bright and give it the feeling of being even more spacious than it already is. The bar in the middle is a great idea for when it gets busy and customers want to sip some cheeky cocktails whilst they wait for a free table. There was no waiting for a table for us though, so we grabbed a booth and got our drinks orders in.
I went for the cherry pie which tasted very cherry and yummy, but I feel like it was missing some fizz. Also, talking of drinks, I spotted the team photographing this beauty!
This is called a Peepshake. It's an eggtra (yes I went there!) special Easter milkshake available at The Diner's London restaurants this Good Friday only! If you fancy getting your chops around one of these it'll set you back £15. But be quick as there'll only be 5 per restaurant available! I've booked James & I in for a morning visit because I NEED ONE OF THESE!!
Right, now that's outta the way, back to the food!
As we were a table of 5, we decided to order one of each of the starters (minus the corn dog as it's not very easy to share between 5). The queso with tortilla chips comes in a separate dipping pot with the chips pm the side, whereas the Super Queso is loaded on top of the tortilla chips with hot beef chili, sour cream, guacamole, salsa and jalapenos, all on 1 big plate. I'm not really one for spicy food so I steered clear from the Bacon Jalapeno Tater Tots and the Diner Chicken Wings, but both dishes went down very well with the others. I did, however get involved with the buttermilk Freakshow chicken strips, as these guys are one of my regular orders, with tender meat coated in crispiness.
Next, we each ordered our own mains. This was the difficult part as I couldn't decide whether to go for one of their all day breakfast dishes or a big juicy burger. On this occasion I picked the burger, the Diner Chicken Burger to be exact. This was a buttermilk fried chicken breast in a smooth, fresh bun usually topped with Monterey Jack cheese, streaky bacon, pickles and slaw, only I thought I'd mix it up a bit and scrapped the bacon and pickles for sliced avocado and caramelised onions instead. When it arrived, it was piled high, but somehow I managed to fit it in my gob and eat it without making too much of a mess. It was perfect; the chicken was succulent, the avocado were the perfect level of ripe, though the caramelised onions could've been a bit sweeter. We also ordered a couple of sides to share including the sweet potato fries, a personal favourite of mine, cooked to perfection, and I had my 1st ever try of the garlic butter fries which were really tasty with just the right amount of flavour intensity.
After we'd finished stuffing our faces as much as was humanly possible, we skipped dessert, instead each going for a cup of The Diner's Sno-cone. Apparently these had tequila in them, but all I could taste was ice and cordial. A little disappointing but not enough to dampen our belly-well-fed-happy moods.
If you're looking to get your burger and hard-shake fix (try the choconaut – chocolate milkshake with a shot of rum) I cannot recommend The Diner enough. As far as food chains go, this one is pretty cool with banging soundtracks (think Springsteen & Blondie) and laid back, but friendly staff, it's the perfect date night or catch up with friends hangout spot.
* I was invited to drink and dine at The Diner for free, but rest assured, all words and opinions are my own 🙂
Pin it for later

South Fork 7-29-09
Flow out of Palisades Dam dropped another 500 cfs to 11700 cfs last night. This is going in the right direction to bring more gravel bars and islands into fishing range. Fish are beginning to move into riffles, but they remain a bit picky. So bring life cycle patterns for PMDs, sallys, caddis, even some small renegades (#14-16). A further golden stone emergence is going on above Cottonwood and mutant stones should be moving soon. Terrestrial patterns are also increasing in importance. We've had a few reports of success with hoppers, but the best is yet to come.

Hi, and welcome back to Six Sentence Sunday. This week, I'm going to stop cherry-picking sixes from 'Won't somebody think of the children', and start with a short story that I wrote for a contest around Christmas – Project Fast Track. Here's the opening:
"Hello, and welcome to TimeBubble, Mister York – I'm Darlene Pritchard, Customer Service." She gestured to the padded armchairs in front of her desk.
"It's very nice to meet you, Darlene, and you can call me Michael. This is Jasmine," Michael said. He and the teenaged girl sat down. "Can you show us the bubble machine first?"
"Sure." Darlene considered her unusually well-informed customers as she prepared the bubble generator controls, and rattled off a few facts about the history of the company.

Some dedicated Kainos people are just a vote away from joining the buzz at the next South by Southwest® (SXSW) . Held in Austin, Texas in March 2019, the SXSW Conference & Festivals provides an opportunity for global professionals at every level to get together, to network, debate and share ideas. This year, our people have been busy – they've submitted five panels for attendees to choose from!
Following on from the success of Deputy CTO Rory Hanratty's exciting panel discussion on the Human Impact and Machine Ethics in AI at last year's conference, this year's submissions are all centred around AI and Machine Learning, a topic that's certain to spark interest. it's a great opportunity for our people to inspire new audiences and showcase our innovation and creativity around the world.
To ensure we get to present our ideas at SXSW, we need your votes! Read on for a short synopsis of each session, vote and share!
A Game a Day Keeps the AI Devil Away
Luke McNeice, Innovation Lead
Humans have an innate need to play. It's widely accepted that playing games is an important part of early development. Our kids are deeply entertained at the rules and simple theatre of life – things as adults we take for granted and even try to escape.
It's emerging that play is also an extremely valuable way of developing AI and creating a safe place to raise useful children while protecting us from creating monsters.
During this session Luke will talk about how simulation can be used to create game rules that are often overlooked and how giving AI creative bodies unlocks both blind intelligence and naive malevolence.
Chatbots: Digital Natives and Digital Naives
Mary-Jane McBride, Software Engineer
What does a five year old and a 95 year old have in common? They both tackle technology using their voice first and in many cases, these digital naïves are getting what they want faster than people who would call themselves digital natives.
With both an aging population and a new generation growing up with voice assistants as part of the furniture… what does that mean for those that want to build accessible services now or in the future, and who are the real digital natives?
During this session, Mary-Jane will explore whether conversational interfaces will make services more accessible and the surprising insights I gained along the way.
Navigating the AI of the Storm
Jordan McDonald, Innovation Team Lead
The world is engulfed in an artificial intelligence arms race. The winner of this race will win the world. It's clear that AI skills are in demand, now enterprises have a few options. Could they hire an external partner or contractors? Yes, however many companies are thinking long-term by investing in building an internal capability.
In this session, Jordan will discuss his experience delivering innovative AI solutions to government – the traps, pitfalls covered in the fog of the unknown and raging fires that threatened to burn the project. Most importantly, he'll share the valuable rules I discovered, enabling enterprises to grasp the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow – artificial intelligence capability.
Safer Roads with Machine Learning
Seamus Sands, Lead Data Analyst
DVSA's primary objective is to make GB's roads safer. The original approach to risk rating garages is subjective and open to dispute, focused on garage performance only and does not fully leverage the data available in the MOT Testing Service (MTS).
DVSA and Kainos have pioneered a predictive analytics tool using ML that derives risk scores for garages and testers based on data collected and compared against other testers and garages in the scheme. These scores are combined with knowledge of current and past disciplinary action to derive an overall risk rating.
AI – Why You Should Try!
Chloe McAteer, Software Engineer
Artificial Intelligence has become such a buzzword over the past couple of years: have you ever tried to get started in it? Have you ever felt overwhelmed by it? For beginners, there are highs and lows!
In this session, Chloe will share her experiences and lessons learned through her time at Kainos as a placement student, from hackathons to implementing AI into projects to provide real value.

Albertus Swanepoel On Orphan Accessories
As you may have read, this season in the run up to fashion week we're celebrating the artists of fashion. The fashion industry gets such a bad rep sometimes, thanks in part to lame press releases spouting rubbish like "this season, so and so designer is focusing on modernity, and a fresh strong woman." I mean – what designer wants to look backwards, focus on the past and channel a haggard, limp ass chick? Certain magazines (not mentioning any names) don't help the cause either. "Get the celebrity look" – have you ever tried to put together the suggestions they throw on the page to emulate a Cameron Diaz look in a paparazzi shot of her getting a raw kale juice at Fred Segal? It misses the point. We feel sorry for the girls on the street who have taken the dictat literally – they sure as hell never make the style grade as putting a killer look together that works has to really come from the inside – a sartorial expression of who you are and how you see yourself. Consumers and followers of fashion are so obsessed with the latest must-have that by and large they miss the point of what they are buying into.
Anyway, rant over. Today's artist is legendary South African-born but New York-based milliner Albertus Swanepoel. He has worked with a great roll call of fashion stars including Proenza Schoeler, Ohne Titel (one of MADE's star alumni), and Carolina Herrera. One show season he clocked up 12 collaborations. This season he is with Herrera again, and MADE designers Timo Weiland and Cushnie et Ochs.
The delight about him is his humble, self-deprecating approach. He doesn't follow the herd or jump on the bandwagon. The beloved designers du jour these days in the industry might be Celine and Balenciaga, but he is very much his own person – he reveres Christian Lacroix, John Galliano and legendary interior designer Tony Duquette (imagine if France's King Louis VIII had chosen to be a Californian set designer). But even if Swanepoel's heroes are larger than life visual maximalists, his work distills a witty theatricality into something infinitely wearable and contemporary. The piece that sums him for me up is a streamlined cowboy hat made of South African kaleidoscopic multi-coloured printed cotton – a nod to his native heritage combined with the American influence of his current American home. The piece's name, "schwe schwe," is onomatopoeic – "because the fabric makes that sound when it moves."
I mention last year's Met exhibit where Muccia Prada had an imaginary conversation with Elsa Schiaparelli – who would be his partner in crime from the past? "Cecil Beaton or Cocteau. They can do no wrong in my eyes." Another connection springs up – both Beaton and Cocteau's work crossed into theatre, and Swanepoel's main passion is opera. "It's larger than life…the emotion and the passion. I respect performing artists for how they train for years and perform for one night." He sees a parallel between their work and his – weeks spent refining and honing their oeuvre, and then there is the one moment for where it emerges out of its chrysalis, for all to see, with no going back. He thinks his working process is like giving birth, which harks back to orphans. For him, hats are "the orphans of the accessory world. Women spend time and money on clothes, shoes, bags – and then the last thing they consider (or often don't) is a hat." Luckily for us, Swanepoel's creations aren't forlorn orphans. Time after time, tribes of poetic millinery emerge from his extraordinary mind, so keep an eye out during MADE for his collections with Timo Weiland and Cushnie et Ochs.

Reports/Rapports: Harvesting the Rural Creative Economy
Source: The Monieson Centre, Queen's School of Business.
The creative economy is generating interest amongst rural communities as a strategy for economic diversification. WWW: http://www.easternontarioknowledge.ca/
Over the last decade, the work of Richard Florida on the creative economy has captured the attention of policy-makers and stimulated vibrant debate in academic research. At the heart of Florida's creative economy is the argument that economic growth is now dependent on the talent of a 'creative class' who innovate and create new ideas, new technologies, and/or creative output. This paper explores the developing theory behind the creative economy as an economic driver, and its implications for rural communities.

Last year looked so much better/ funner with more of a come out and more pros.ReplyDeleteReplies
Well let's be honest here, if Mikaylee and David Martinez hadn't stepped up to the plate there WOULDN'T have been one at all, Mikaylee hit me up for Gryndo to sponsor it so I sent out about $1,500 worth of stickers,hats,baseball shirts, wristbands all kinds of stuff and Lucky chipped in with giveaways and sponsored it as well. If you had shown up you would have came away with some free gear and some good memories. From what i've heard it was a great come out, and there were a few pros there from Sacrifice and the local area including David and MikayleeDelete

The jam this year sucked, it wasn't organized well at all, the whole group split up into different sections throughout the event, last years turn up was so much better and they went to better spots. The experience was good, but definitely needs better arranging, management, and sponsors next year.ReplyDelete

Fallout From 'The Arrogance Of Justice Anthony Kennedy'?
[posted by Justin Levine]
Last month, I noted a devastatingly insightful piece by Jeffrey Rosen on Justice Anthony Kennedy. [I'm not naive – I doubt that Rosen would have bothered to write his piece had Kennedy voted with the liberal majority on a few key cases. But regardless of Rosen's motivations, I found that his article pretty much nailed its subject.]
A few subsequent writings about Kennedy suggest that others were influenced by the piece as well. Slowly and subtly, it is having an impact on how the public perceives Kennedy. I doubt that the articles linked to in the first sentence of this paragraph would have been written in the same fashion (or even at all) if it were not for Rosen's article.

Getting Involved¶
There is an active IRC channel at irc://freenode.net/#openstack-dns, where many of the designate contributors can be found, as well as users from various organisations.
Weekly meetings¶
There is a weekly irc meet. The agenda and other details are listed at Designate meetings wiki page. Currently the meeting is held every Wednesday at 17:00 UTC on the IRC channel irc://freenode.net/#openstack-meeting-alt
We welcome fixes, extensions, documentation, pretty much anything that helps improve Designate, contributing is easy & follows the standard OpenStack Gerrit workflow, if you're looking for something to do, you could always checkout the blueprint & bug lists.
Assuming you've already got a working Development Environment, here's a quick summary:
Install the git-review package to make life easier
pip install git-review
Branch, work, & submit:
# cut a new branch, tracking master
git checkout --track -b bug/id origin/master
# work work work
git add stuff
git commit
# rebase/squash to a single commit before submitting
git rebase -i
# submit
Coding Standards¶
Designate uses the OpenStack flake8 coding standards guidelines. These are stricter than pep8, and are run by gerrit on every commit.
You can use tox to check your code locally by running
# For just flake8 tests
tox -e flake8
# For tests + flake8
Example DNS Names and IP Space¶
The IANA has allocated several special purpose domains and IP blocks for use as examples in code and documentation. Where possible, these domains and IP blocks should be preferred. There are some cases where it will not be possible to follow this guidance, for example, there is currently no reserved IDN domain name.
We prefer to use these names and IP blocks to avoid causing any unexpected collateral damage to the rightful owners of the non-reserved names and IP space. For example, publishing an email address in our codebase will more than likely be picked up by spammers, while published URLs etc using non-reserved names or IP space will likely trigger search indexers etc to begin crawling.
Reserved Domains¶
Reserved DNS domains are documented here: IANA Special Use Domain Names.
Several common reserved domains:
Reserved IP Space¶
Reserved IP space is documented here: IANA IPv4 Special Registry, and IANA IPv6 Special Registry.
Several common reserved IP blocks:

Amy Schumer has hit back at claims she went too far with her Taylor Swift 'thigh gap' joke.
The 34-year-old took to Instagram to address her critics, donning a cropped blonde wig and working a fake drawn-on beard.
'That's not a beard this is a beard', she wrote. 'So sorry to anyone with a beard this may offend. I am a comic and should never make fun of myself at the expense of anyone else that I wasn't making fun of in the first place. #relax #beard.'
The day before, Amy had fans saying she'd gone a step too far with an Instagram snap that appeared to call out Taylor.
As we know, Taylor Swift rocked up to the Grammys in a thigh-baring orange Versace crop top, bright pink knickers and a front split skirt which flashed her incredible pins.
But a day after the ceremony, Schumer seemed to be laying into Swifty with a sarcastic 'thigh gap' Instragram post.
Read: Gillian Anderson Responds To Jibes About Her 'Ageing' Face…
The 34-year-old shared a photo of her on the beach in a bikini, which seemed to call out Taylor's slim figure.
'Taylor that's not a thigh gap. This is a thigh gap,' Amy captioned the image.
We're sure she just meant it to be funny, but fans didn't see it that way, and accused of her body shaming another woman.
'Why? Why? Like honestly how it any different if you making fun of someone fat vs making fun of some skinny. Every body has a different bone structure. I'm glad your proud of you body and that great but to make you proud your putting down someone else', one user commented.
'When you think being funny is when you body shame someone, it's time for a new job', blasted another.
It's not the first time the Trainwreck actress has appeared to make a dig at another woman's body shape.
Read: Why Was Taylor Swift Crying At The Grammys?
Back last October, she made a few jokes about Khloe Kardashian's recent weight loss.
Latest Stories
Amy tweeted: 'Khloe was ours, right? Whenever there's a group of women, you identify with one of them, right? Khloe, she lost half her body weight. She lost a Kendall, and we have nothing.'
And Khloe responded, replying that Amy shouldn't 'tear down others just 2 make urself feel bigger.'
Is it simply Amy's cheeky sense of humour, or should she tone down the body jokes? Let us know below…

To further enhance the fan experience, MBS will become the first MLS stadium to implement a complete stadium-wide cashless transaction model. All transactions will require the use of a credit or debit card or mobile payment beginning with Atlanta United's home opener on March 10, 2019. No cash will be accepted at any location within the stadium including concessions and retail.
MBS will feature ten cash-to-card kiosks around the stadium for those who prefer not to use their own cards or who prefer to carry cash. Guests will be able to feed the cash into the machine and obtain a pre-paid debit card with the same amount with no transaction fee. These cards can be utilized as any other pre-paid debit card or credit card within the stadium as well as outside the stadium.
Transitioning to cashless transactions stadium-wide allows the stadium to move away from its whole-dollar pricing model, which was initially instituted to help speed transaction times, to further improve MBS's already best-in-class speed of service. Additionally, going cashless produces more flexibility to adjust prices on food and beverage options more regularly, creating the opportunity to lower prices incrementally versus keeping prices static. MBS already holds the single-event record for all sports venues run by the stadium's payment and transactions processing partner, NCR, for the number of credit card transactions processed on food and beverage with 76,446 transactions processed at Super Bowl LIII.
Mercedes-Benz Stadium (MBS) is also raising the bar on food and beverage by lowering prices on some of the most popular food items for a second consecutive year. MBS's award-winning food and beverage experience, which has inspired a revolution in the industry with several professional and collegiate teams and venues across the country following suit, will reduce prices by 11 percent on five of the top items beginning March 10 for Atlanta United's first home match against FC Cincinnati.
Thirteen months ago, MBS announced that despite a 50 percent drop in food prices, average spending per fan during 2017 Atlanta Falcons games increased by 16 percent over 2016 with an NFL voice of the fan rating of No. 1 across all food and beverage categories. The 2018 Falcons season proved just as successful as the 2017 season for MBS's food and beverage model. Continuing to offer the lowest pricing in the league, MBS guests spent on average the same amount as they did in 2017 and fans again rated the Falcons No. 1 in all food and beverage categories for the second consecutive year, including the two new categories added by the NFL for 2018; value, quality, variety, speed of service, variety of beverages and guest service.
As part of MBS's year-two success, stadium executives created operational efficiencies that further helped to improved bottom line margins by 15 percent over 2017 without raising prices, and while offering reduced prices on six concession items in 2018.
The latest round of price cuts will reduce prices by 50 cents on a variety of items including the hot dog, which is the top selling item at MBS and for Super Bowl LIII. The cuts are as follows:
- Hot Dog: $1.50 (was $2)
- Pretzel Bites: $4.50 (was $5)
- ATL Bud Burger: $7.50 (was $8)
- Ice Cream Waffle Cone: $4.50 (was $5)
- Chips and Salsa: $2.50 (was $3)
"Arthur Blank repeatedly challenges us to find innovative ways to further improve operations across our businesses," said Steve Cannon, AMB Group CEO. "As we've always said, it is incumbent on us to listen and respond to our fans and we've heard that value, quality and speed of service are incredibly important; therefore, we've again made operational adjustments that address each of these areas. Our fans are our most important influencers and we want to ensure they have the level of service they've come to expect from Mercedes-Benz Stadium."
