Awesome! It has finally arrived. I stupidly bought poseidon today out of my own impatience. Any chance I could get a refund when I get oceanus?
Yeah just send me your paypal name in a Private Message.
Face,will we get a free tryout again for it as promised?
Yeah I'm just trying to get the video to work on this thread.... Ah well, Oceanus is up for 48 hours, use it while you can!
What does it attain?legendary?it's better than poseidon right?
Like much, good very
I love what I see so far. Only thing is it doesn't run in 1200x800, only 800x600 (the only two i've tested). Not a huge deal, but any chance that changes?

16. And Closed End Funds are different?
Absolutely. Since CEF managers, both income and equity, don't have to sell their portfolio securities to redeem ownership shares, they can take advantage of lower prices and add to their portfolios as prices in general fall. This is what private portfolio managers do --- they buy high value securities when prices fall and take profits when they go back up in price --- precisely when the public is told once again that it is safe to get back into the rising market.
This is what I practice as "Market Cycle Investment Management", and the income allocation of these portfolios take advantage of the stability and resiliency of Closed End Income Funds.
17. But what about the income from these funds during the financial crisis?
Well, as you might expect, the market prices of the CEFs fell much more than ever before. But, and this is about the biggest news in the history of the financial markets, news that was totally ignored by the financial media: the income generated by taxable income CEFs (other than REITs and mortgage heavy investment funds) actually increased during the financial crisis. The same result was experienced in the Tax Free arena, but with no exceptions at all.
18. And how low did the prices go?
It was a little scary, but not when you saw the income being maintained month after month. Naturally, the yields nearly doubled as prices fell, so it was easy to reduce the cost basis of existing positions by reinvesting the monthly income. AND, prices didn't fall nearly as much as equity prices did.
Even better, the index of income CEFs has actually outperformed both the S & P 500 and the Dow since the market scraped bottom on March 9th 2009, and not by just a small margin. Interesting, isn't it. And why is it such a closely guarded secret?
19. And these types of income investments are available to all investors?
Yes, they sure are, hundreds of them, and have been for years. They are ignored resoundingly by investment professionals. If you call your broker and ask about them, you will be told they are unsafe because they use "leverage". This means that the management company goes to the capital markets, like any other business, to borrow money using preferred stock, bonds, etc.
Leverage is treated as though it were a four letter word. It isn't; people buy cars with it, shoppers shop with it, and investers properly invest with it. If I can borrow at 3% and buy a 5% yielding security, why wouldn't I do so? Without leverage, we'd all be riding to work every day on bicycles, and watching construction workers digging foundations by hand!
20. Is there an easy way to learn more about Closed End Fund investing?
Sure. After reading "The Brainwashing of the American Investor: The Book That Wall Street Does Not Want YOU To Read", investors should check out web sites like cefconnect.com for tutorials, definitions, and screening tools. Attending one of my free Income Investing webinars would also be a good idea.
Take a tour of a professional investment managers' private SEP IRA program during ten years surrounding the financial crisis:
In developing the investment plan, personal financial goals, objectives, time frames, and future income requirements should all be considered. A first step would be to assure that small portfolios (under $50,000) are at least 50% income focused.
At the $100,000 level, between 30% and 40% income focused is fine, but above age 50, the income focus allocation needs to be no less than 40%... and it could increase in 10% increments every five years.
The "Income Bucket" of the Asset Allocation is itself a portfolio risk minimization tool, and when combined with an "Equity Bucket" that includes only Investment Grade Value Stocks, it becomes a very powerful risk regulator over the life of the portfolio.
Other Risk Minimizers include: "Working Capital Model" based Asset Allocation, fundamental quality based selection criteria, diversification and income production rules, and profit taking guidelines for all securities,
Dealing with changes in the Investment Environment productively involves a market/interest rate/economic cycle appreciation, as has evolved in the Market Cycle Investment Management (MCIM) methodology. Investors must formulate realistic expectations about investment securities--- by class and by type. This will help them deal more effectively with short term events, disruptions and dislocations.
Over the past twenty years, the market has transitioned into a "passive", more products than ever before, environment on the equity side... while income purpose investing has actually become much easier in the right vehicles. MCIM relies on income closed end funds to power our programs.
To illustrate just how powerful the combination of highest quality equities plus long term closed end funds has been during this time... we have provided an audio PowerPoint that illustrates the development of a Self Directed IRA portfolio from 2004 through 2014.
Throughout the years surrounding the "Financial Crisis", Annual income nearly tripled from $8,400 to $23,400 and Working Capital grew 80% $198,000 to $356,000.
Total income is 6.5% of capital and more than covers the RMD.
Managing income purpose securities requires price volatility understanding and disciplined income reinvestment protocals. "Total realized return" (emphasis on the realized) and compound earnings growth are the key elements. All forms of income secuities are liquid when dealt with in Closed End Funds.

Introduction: Wooden Phone (sculpture)
I made this wooden phone for my Telephone Kiosk K2!
Step 1: Cut and Glue
Cut and glue pieces you'll need for your phone size.
I used another phone to estimate sizes and give me an idea.
Step 2: Glue the Template and Cut It
Glue the template and then cut it with a jigsaw, band saw, scroll saw, coping saw.... whatever you have.
Step 3: Shape It!
Use knife, files, rasps to shape the phone handle.
Then drill some holes to make it look as microphone and speaker holes.
Step 4: The Base
Cut the base and sides.
The sides are cut at 30 degrees with the jigsaw.
Then miter the corners.
I used nails and instant glue (CA) to join those but you can use yellow/white glue for this.
On top glue the cap into place.
Finally drill the hole for the cable in the base and phone. 3/8 drill bit worked for a great fit of the plugs.
Step 5: Add the Stand
Add the stand for the phone handle.
Cut the shape with the jigsaw and then part it in two on the table saw/band saw.
Mine were too long so I cut them to length with the coping saw.
Then drill and glue, nail/screw them in place.
Step 6: Sand, Sign and Finish
Sand with 120 followed by 220 grit sandpaper.
Then apply your signature followed by finish.
I used Danish Oil for antique/used look.
Signature Transfer:
I sign my work with ink transfer onto wood.
I use laser printed mirror image of my design and pass it with thinner onto the wood (it is very easy but takes a bit of practice).
Try it first with something you have laser printed on a normal paper (gloss and ink-jet print won't work).
Step 7: Make a Dial
To make the dial use MDF or hardboard.
Drill the holes with 1/2'' inch Forstner bit (for clean results) or use any bit with similar diameter.
Then drill the center hole for the screw.
Use the jigsaw to cut the circle out, spray it on all sides with the color of your choice (I used silver spray paint).
Finally screw it in the place lightly (it needs to turn).
For smooth turning, your center hole should be a bit larger diameter than the screw used.
Step 8: You're Done!
Just place it where ever you like, I put mine in a K2 kiosk replica I made myself....soon on Instructables.

Me, The Boy, Bed, Skin.
About time I got into this selfie thing!
Sometimes, I wonder whether we are living in enlightened times, or whether that's one of the big self-delusions our species has created for ourselves. (Inclined to the latter, personally).
There seems to be so much moralising against women, especially & the old double standards are alive and well when it comes to sex.
Our sexualities are nobody's business but our own. We aren't here for the gratification & judgement of others, we're here to live our lives – to seek pleasure & avoid pain – just the same as everyone else.
It seems to be that this judgementality that seems reserved more often for women than men (although also for trans people of any gender) is designed to control what is seen as troublesome behaviour. Anything that doesn't conform with the rigid heteronormative, monogamous ideas that are wrapped up in supposed 'decency', 'morality' and the 'proper' ways to behave – all of these are arbitrary & imposed.
This, I feels, strips us of our humanity – the ability to think, choose and do what we like. For, as long as our behaviour doesn't make anyone else suffer, why should it be wrong for us if it feels right for us?
Why should we be judged on who we choose to sleep with, or how many we sleep with, or have slept with, or what we do with our consenting humans? Isn't this the essence of our humanity? Is it not inhumane to subject others to your ideas of what is 'right', when we all know that those ideas were just put there in your heads, probably just to appease others' insecurities and make them feel good about themselves in a completely oppressive-to-others kind of way?
What makes us human is our ability to think for ourselves & to make our own decisions. I don't have anything nice to say about those small-minded enough to impose their wills on others. Conforming just for the sake of it & ridiculing/discouraging others who choose not to, is a kind of dictatorship – trying to control others because of your own mental limitations & fears/insecurities. It's also really boring.
So, it's taken less than a day & a couple of brief messages & Organist #1 is under my skin again.
I dislike this very much, as my mind is wandering & it makes me feel vulnerable as am potentially opening myself up to hurt again & I don't want to feel like am not in total control of what might happen.
Am also a little annoyed with myself for doing this to myself. I think it's because I care & I don't want to, meh. He's surprised that I'm still talking to him & so am I, a little. Will he take this to mean I'm a pushover/doormat? I'll kick his backside to high heaven if he does.
I can't deny I felt very connected to him, and intimate, and excited and the idea of requiting was is unrequited is so (destructively?) appealing. And he's the tortured artist type – am such a sucker for the tortured, starving artist.
There's one person I haven't written about.
One of the reasons I started this was because I thought the anonymity afforded to me would grant me freedom to write my thoughts unfettered by fear of judgement, or negativity.
There's one person I haven't written about & I have now realised why. It's not because I'm afraid of any of you, dear readers, but it was more I was afraid of myself, or, avoiding remembering having my fingers burnt (I'm a bit of a sensitive soul, underneath my tough exterior, sometimes).
I'll call him Organist #1. Back when I was still in existential limbo, he was the first person I got feelings for after leaving the Ex – a long time after leaving the ex, too. A year & a bit. We'd been chatting for a long time, when I finally succumbed & thought I'd dip my toes into the world of online dating. We talked for quite a few weeks & I had a gut instinct with him – perhaps less of a gut instinct, more of a fluttering of the heartstrings, which I hadn't felt for *years* (or since, to be honest).
So, it was a bit crap that this thing that didn't even happen could still cause so much heartbreak. We met, we went on a beautiful date, dinner, then we snuck into a local church that he had the keys to & climbed onto the roof to carry on drinking & smoking & admiring the view. A thunderstorm started & we had a beautiful first kiss in the rain & thunder & lightening. We went back to mine & he spent the night (although we didn't have sex, we played) & then came back the next night too & we had a couple more times where we met up for drinks, kisses & so on. We were in constant touch & it was all very intense.
Then, he started to flake out on me. His situation, is, let's say, complicated. I'd never step on anyone else's toes, so it's not the kind of complicated that you might be thinking, but the kind of complicated that is very stressful. He did the semi-disappearing thing & IT REALLY HURT. Because, it was the first time (& last) that I've felt intimate with someone. It wasn't a disappearing off the face of the planet, but sending me messages saying he wasn't ok & didn't want to hurt me etc. That hurt.
Yesterday, after a few months he paid a visit to my profile & didn't send a message, but he had changed his profile to read:
"My life is moderately complicated – no more than yours, but sometimes it feels it. I've had a few months off from this because I realised I wasn't ready for any kind of human interaction and would end up hurting people. Am in a much better place now. I'm telling you this in the hope that you'll trust that I know, and think it matters, when my presence in someone's life might not be a good thing. It would take the edge of my otherwise glittering brilliance."
I think that's meant for me, it feels like it. Don't know what to think. The heartstrings are pulling & I'm a little scared. It's only because I *really* liked him, and I think he *really* liked me. But I don't want to get hurt again. Was he a cad? Am I an idiot? I hate this feeling. Don't want to get my fingers burnt again, but feeling compelled as I liked him so much.
Stupid heart. Wish I knew what to do. There's still so much of the unresolved about this.
Am mooching like an angsty teenager now – melodramatic, unrequited love. Listening to this:
I'm seeing The Boy tonight, hope it's enough of a distraction!
Here I have a douchebag who thinks he's smart, mansplaining mansplanation to me & making himself look quite stupid in the meantime.
(After I put a line in my profile telling people not to bother writing if they were going to correct a joke I'd made in Latin which was obviously a little too clever for them to see it was a joke)
It was too funny & stupid not to share. Only an idiot would think the best solution to someone complaining about mansplainers is more mansplanation. Thanks for proving my point, douchebag!

I think I might have to have the "It's not you, it's me" conversation with the person I started sleeping with very recently. I think it would be cruel to do anything else.
On the whole, in the past, when I've had this conversation, I've just been polite. Mostly, it hasn't been me, but them.
This time it's different. It really isn't him, it really is me. I have no fault with him. He's lots of lovely things, I'm just not really into him, for reasons I can't quite fathom. This makes it more difficult.
I hope he doesn't feel hurt. I feel very sorry/guilty, even though I'm not sure I should. I feel cruel, but I know I'm not.
Once bitten twice shy? Well you'd think so, wouldn't you?
Having read my last post, you wouldn't have thought that I'd make the same mistake twice. Yet alone with the same person!
Shouldn't have slept with him again, really. Have always felt strongly that no sex is infinitely preferable to bad sex and I've proved myself twice right.
He stopped halfway through to ask if I was bored (I was, but I'd never be cruel enough to say so). He's lovely, but there's an absence of excitement and chemistry & that was reflected by my… unenthusiasm. Poor thing, it isn't his fault.
Worst thing is I think he's started to get attached. He's using "we", he's started to talk about stuff he wants to do next month with me, even though I said at the start I was non-committing. He did that gazing at me with big eyes thing first thing in the morning, saying "you're so lovely". It's freaking me out a little!
Ah, I'm a numbnut sometimes. I hope this post acts as an aid memoire, and I don't find myself posting about twice bitten, thrice shy.
I like this one.
My friends think am quite a brave/bolshy character. I'm thought of as strong-willed and strong-minded. What they don't know is that, whilst I might be, I'm crapping myself half the time.
Fear is a wonderful and terrible thing. It's totally okay to be fearful, to acknowledge it, but the best way to deal with it sometimes is just to press on in spite of it.
So, tonight am going to go to a poly/kink club event thing that I heard about from someone I went on a date with. Now, this whole world is a terrifying and unknown place for me. My life so far (especially with regards to sex & sexuality) has on the whole, tasted mainly of vanilla.
I can be fairly cautious with the unknown, but now that I know what I'm curious in, it's probably time to jump in at the deep end, instead of just sitting on the fence (mixing my metaphors a little, but you know what I mean).
So, this evening, I will be putting one wobbly foot in front of the other, feeling the fear and doing it, anyway. (Or observing & learning, in any case).
Brave New Worlds
(also, what the hell do I wear?)
Woah, there's much more to this stuff than I'd anticipated! (Still all a little couple-centric, in my opinion!)
Also, am not that interested in swinging, really. What does that make me, a near-unicorn?
So, I've been doing a lot of thinking and as I posted here https://mascarastreaks.wordpress.com/tag/monogamy-2/ I'd like to take a new approach to any relationships I have in the future.
I have a few concerns, it's a bit of a Brave New World for me (which is equally thrilling & nerve-wracking.
I've spoken to a couple of people I know who are in poly relationships. However, all of the people that I know that are in poly/open relationships are all couples who have agreed between them to have other relationships, whatever the agreement is.
Also, a lot of the stuff that I've found on the net (not that I've spent that much time doing it) and the people I've spoke to talk about it from a very couple-centric perspective. I don't want that, I want it from a me, me, me perspective.
Whereas I am a single woman, and I know what I'd like, which is for ME to be at the apex/centre, retaining control/autonomy of my life and space, rather than being part of a poly/open-relationship couple with other lovers.
It's all pretty hypothetical at the moment, but it doesn't stop me thinking about it. Would it make me more or less vulnerable than if I was (i) being monogamous, or (ii) part of a poly couple. What do I need to watch out for?
I'd welcome any thoughts/advice/opinions from anyone with experience or who knows more about this. I know what I want, it's in my head, but how does it all work in the real world?

Salespeople who engage with buyers early in the buying process have a 30% higher win rate
A Forrester study highlighted that executives believe only 20% of the salespeople they meet with are successful in achieving their expectations and creating value. Only one in four of these salespeople get agreement from executive buyers to meet again.
According to a recent study by Altify, 67 percent of buyers engage suppliers early in their buying process before they get to the Solution Evaluation stage of the buying process.
The Altify study highlighted that a full 35 percent choose to bring sellers to the table even before a project has been fully initiated. It also found that sellers who engage buyers early have a 30 percent greater win rate.
Value converts to sales, but sellers aren't delivering. A study by the RAIN Group indicates that buyers believe 58% of their sales meetings are not valuable. However when buyers find salespeople valuable, they get more initial meetings and convert more of these meetings into sales wins.
These findings would suggest that believing that a buyer has gone through most of the buying process before engaging a supplier is incorrect and both dangerous and expensive, since early engagement increases a seller's win rate.
Developing strategies to engage buyers early, and bring value to the buyer early in the buying process is critical for sellers and adds optimal value to buyers.

Battered octopus balls, bonito flakes, nori, served with tonkatsu sauce. $9.50
Izakaya Sozai, San Francisco CA
Omg, these octopus balls were frickin' amazing and I loved the presentation. This was definitely a case of eating with the eyes and mouth. The dish looked so pretty on the wooden plank and the bonito flakes and nori strips danced on top. It was difficult to taste the octopus (partly because octopus has such a mild flavor to begin with), but the texture was great and it was perfectly fried.

When she made to check out me she didn't get back the look right away, and appeared as if she might have been upset. Even though by the full time I finished my issue she did make an effort to protect it down with a smile. I am sorry, it hasn't been an excellent morning, and is apparently getting worse. I am not likely going to be the most enjoyment person to chit talk with at this time, she replied. However attempting to force a smile. I couldn't inform if she was upset or sad, but she did search upset. Can there be anything I may do? Anything more? You do know your happiness is essential for all our happiness, proper? That's why you're the office mom. Though I'm pretty particular I have never pictured my real mom in her red underwear, I claimed, wanting to reduce the mood a little. It did actually perform, since her laugh sounded, looked and felt genuine. She'd a large smile on her face, when she type of squinted as though in heavy seriously considered something. Thanks for that Mark, you're always therefore sweet, she said. Then she Porn Live Cams appeared around, to be sure nobody e lse can see people, and used her catalog finger to activity for me to come closer. I needed a couple of measures towards her, and then seen in pure amazement as she uncrossed her legs and removed her skirt. I'd a perfect see of her remarkable color feet, and affirmed, her vivid red panties. My eyes required been planning to bulge out of their sockets, because I couldn't think what I was seeing. Proper when I began to slim in even closer, for a straight greater look, she pressed her top back down. Ok Mark, which was merely to thanks if you are so sweet. Today we both greater return to work. Many thanks for trying to produce my time better nevertheless, she said as she turned her chair back toward her desk. I must have stood there for an entire moment in total shock. My mind was race, wondering about the number of choices of what only happened. Should I recently get back to my desk? Must I tell her how infatuated I am with her? Hell, should I just go around her and hug her?
She's nineteen decades avove the age of me, and we're both committed , so it's mad to believe we're able to actually hook up. I decided to just go back to my table, and try to determine a method to give attention to work. Now it's 1:15pm, and I recently delivered from my table, following sneaking off to the restroom to idiot off. I don't usually accomplish that at the job, but somebody had filled my mind with lust. I should be pleased that it needed three hours for the temptation to eventually get over. I turn towards my pc and I hear Janie's very familiar high heel shoes on the hardwood floor. Lord damn that's my favorite noise, since I am aware I arrive at see her sexy legs in these heels. I turn to gawk at her, as normal, and detect she is holding a field of papers. It looks a bit major, but she doesn't appear to be she is really struggling with it. Either way, I see the opportunity simply to speak to her again. Can I assist you to with that field? I ask. It seems heavy. It's not Llive Sex Cam that bad, I am only maneuvering to the shredder to strike down some water, she answers. I insist, I claim, hitting out to get the box from her.
I've wanted to accomplish this for 36 months now. You've number thought how often I've fantasized about this, I said. What, you think I have not seen you stare at my bum all this time around? Some days I go by your table, because I understand I'll have your attention. Delay, you have been contacting me work mom for three years. Does which make this odd? she asked. Oh nightmare, I hadn't actually thought about that. I think we only had office incest, I said, laughing at my very own joke. Fortuitously, she laughed as well. Then she rolled off me, turned onto her part, and gave me another long passionate kiss. Okay, so, we can not try this again, for a number of reasons. I recently wished to thank you to be so sweet, and nurturing therefore significantly about me, but I believe I will have let it escape hand. I assurance this was not my purpose, she said. Getting me extended and hard again. I Sex Cam Chatting do believe you are absolutely proper, we absolutely shouldn't try this again. To any extent further, we should definitely move to at least one of our properties, or get an accommodation, I said with a laugh. You end it, I am being critical, she laughed. Reaching me in the neck playfully. One more long kiss. We better get fully up, before some one guides in on us. We both sit up, and began getting her clothes. She looks therefore wonderful putting her panties on, and then her bra. Viewing her today, in only her vivid red bra and vivid red panties, she looks precisely how I imagined her this morning when she began this full baseball a rollin. Dragging up my pants, I zip up and strip up, and give her gown to her. She sets it on, and turns her straight back to me, in a quiet request for help. I grab the zipper, and fall it down the back. She turns about and we kiss again. I really hope you could allow some water down in the shredder room. I am gonna let you really destroy these papers now, I claimed with Adult Online Sex Chat a smirk. That's certainly the most fun I've ever had in this room. Therefore, do you consider you'll manage to keep your hands to yourself now? We can't get too comfortable together, or we'll get found, she said. Oh not a chance. You have no idea how usually I have been persuaded to seize your ass when you are filing. Today I understand I am gonna give in to that twenty temptation, until you inform me to prevent of course. I do have yet another problem though. Did you use that attractive blue skirt nowadays, just so I'd ask you if you'd any red on? I ask. Oh you're very good Mark, she answered. She converts and picks up the box, to use it the table, and of course provides me a good view of her ass. While looking at her ass, all over again, I discover a large bright glob of cum falling down her internal thigh. I swear I simply thought my wang twitch again.
She may be nineteen years older than me, but she's however the latest girl I've actually really met in person. Her title is Janie, and her workplace is about ten feet behind quarry at work. She is short and small, with amazing feet and probably the most wonderful bum I have ever seen. Her crazy hair really sticks out, but it's far from the only thing about her that draws my attention to her. She truly is the total deal, with an wonderful character along with her stunning beauty. The best the main morning is when I hear the pressing of her high heel shoes as she walks in, and hikes right previous my desk. We always say good morning, and frequently add a little otherwise to our very quick day conversation, and then I can view her butt while she walks to her desk. My personal favorite the main day is when she's filing the orders in the strip of file units right behind my desk. It's impossible to target when she is curved over, featuring her remarkable ass down like the trophy it is. You might have guessed by now that I do believe she has the sweetest ass I've ever seen. Today we were likely to use red for a large customer who was simply around, nevertheless when she Sex Chatting Live walked in she'd on this particular blue sunlight skirt. It looks like cotton, and also runs over her legs exactly the same way silk could, but it does not feel just like silk. In any event, she looks wonderful inside it, but it's maybe not red at all. Good morning Janie. Do you have any red on at all? I asked, really surprised that she was not wearing any. Not that you will see, she replied, with a coy smirk on her face. Janie! was all I possibly could gather, in my complete disbelief. She had nothing you've seen prior said such a thing like this to me, and it found me entirely down guard. Her laugh converted into a large smile, and then she began laughing. I could not tell from her reaction if it tucked out, or if she claimed it purposely and was flirting with me. I made a decision to perform it safe, and suppose she'd tucked up. The past thing I wanted to complete was have to explain to my partner why I got shot for sexual harassment. To make points even worse, her husband was a huge scary guy. So, I believed it far better take the cautious road. She visited her workplace, and remaining me puzzled at mine. For the last couple of years we've been calling her work mother, since she generally tries to create everybody else sense in the home, while in the office. She provides breakfast usually, and always makes sure I get first dibs. She's usually the one who organizes the pleased time get togethers. Therefore, there I was suddenly and instantly picturing the smokin hot office mom in a red bra red and panties. Naturally, I have had a hard time concentrating on my work today. About 30 mins following she returned to her workplace, I couldn't stand it any longer. I had to determine if she was teasing with me or not. I came with the perfect approach to locate out. I hopped up and stepped to her desk. Once you claimed I could not see your red, did you mean at the time, since it absolutely was included up, causing the chance that I will have the ability to view it? I requested, with a look that I thought could hold me out of HR.

A journal is used for recording non-regular transactions, for instance the depreciation of a hard and fast asset or writing off a bad debt. SF State utilizes the double entry accounting system, thus there are all the time each debit and credit score journal entry strains and the overall debits should equal the full credits. Revenue accounts improve on the credit facet; thus, Service Revenue will present an increase of $5,500 on the credit side.
Doing so empties out the temporary accounts, in order that they'll start accumulating transactional information in the subsequent accounting interval. Paid $3,000 money, with the stability of $1,500 due in 90 days. Within the subsequent column, list each account affected by the transaction on a separate line, and enter a brief description of the transaction immediately beneath the list of accounts.
After recording transactions in the journal, transfer them to the final ledger You could post every transaction from your journal into the ledger. The debit side is the left side of the accounting equation. This reveals where the account stands after every transaction, in addition to the final balance within the account.
School college students applying for admission to any of the College packages are required to submit the school software program program form and related charges. Reviewing journal entries individually can be tedious and time consuming. As a result of the journal is the place the data from the source doc first enters the accounting system, it is called the book of original entry.
Discover out which account is to be debited and credited, and after this you possibly can enter journal entry. Cash had a debit of $20,000 in the journal entry, so $20,000 is transferred to the overall ledger in the debit column. Within the debit column for this money account, we see that the entire is $32,300 (20,000 + 4,000 + 2,800 + 5,500).

These research reports have been hand-picked from the roughly 70 reports published by our analyst team today.
You can see all of today's research reports here >>>
Apple's shares have outperformed the Zacks Computer - Mini computers industry year to date (+68.8% vs. +65.7%). The Zacks analyst believes that the company is benefiting from continued momentum in the Services segment and improved iPhone sales owing to the trade-in programs.
Non-iPhone devices continue to perform well, driven by strong demand for iPad, Apple Watch and AirPods. The company's expanded portfolio that now includes new MacBook Pro, Apple Watch Series 5 and streaming service Apple TV+ is a key catalyst.
Nevertheless, uncertainties over the timeframe of the resolution of the U.S.-China trade war do not bode well for the company. Further, antitrust investigations, App Store-related lawsuits and Spotify's complaint increase legal woes.
Shares of Comcast have gained 23% in the past two-year period against Zacks Cable Television industry's rise of 14.8%. The Zacks analyst believes that the company is benefiting from solid growth in a number of residential and business services high-speed Internet customers.
The company's strategy of providing high-speed Internet at an affordable cost plays a key role in improving customer experience. Growing popularity of Xfinity products is also a key catalyst. Moreover, expansion in the wireless user base and the security and automation services customer base is a growth driver.
However, Comcast continues to lose video subscribers due to cord cutting. Moreover, a high debt level is a headwind.
NVIDIA's shares have outperformed the Zacks Semiconductor - General industry year to date (+55.8% vs. +32.9%). The Zacks analyst believes that the company is benefiting from strong growth in GeForce desktop and notebook GPUs, which is boosting gaming revenues. Solid momentum of its real-time ray tracing technology is also a positive.
Increase in Hyperscale demand is a tailwind for Data Center business as well. Growing adoption in the inference market is an upside too. Further, the solid uptake of AI-based smart cockpit infotainment solutions is a boon.
However, the company's bleak guidance for the fourth quarter due to seasonality is a concern.
Other noteworthy reports we are featuring today include GlaxoSmithKline plc and Global Payments Inc.
More Stock News: This Is Bigger than the iPhone!
It could become the mother of all technological revolutions. Apple sold a mere 1 billion iPhones in 10 years but a new breakthrough is expected to generate more than 27 billion devices in just 3 years, creating a $1.7 trillion market.
Zacks has just released a Special Report that spotlights this fast-emerging phenomenon and 6 tickers for taking advantage of it. If you don't buy now, you may kick yourself in 2020.

The Rebirth of "Alien: Resurrection"
Many people have dreamed of being brought back to life hundreds of years after dying. Let's be honest, it would be pretty cool. That is, unless you were to discover upon awaking that you were now a half-human/half-alien clone created by scientists, and to save all of humanity you had to fight an army of huge, disgusting extraterrestrial creatures—the very ones that tormented you for three straight movies. But those are the unfortunate cards dealt to Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) when she is reborn 200 years into the future in Alien: Resurrection.
The classic Alien (1979), directed by Ridley Scott, and its sequel Aliens (1986), directed by James Cameron, are permanent fixtures in the sci-fi canon. Admittedly, the fourth installment in the series can't measure up to those two but there's plenty of fast-paced action and the newborn monster is, if possible, creepier than ever. Plus, there's a new character named Call (Winona Ryder) whose harboring a surprising secret. (No, it's not kleptomania.)
Alien: Resurrection plays tonight on AMC at 11 p.m. EST | 10 C.

Brookwood: Offering the Dignity of Work to Adults with Disabilities
A very special gem sits in a small Texas town an hour west of Houston. The Brookwood Community is a 475-acre God-centered educational, residential, and entrepreneurial community for adults with intellectual disabilities. The campus is bustling with activity and the love you feel there is thicker than the Texas humidity. Brookwood is home to 120 adults with special needs, who are called Citizens. An additional 110 Citizens living outside the campus commute daily to Brookwood for employment. It's a place where everyone belongs, has an important job to do, and is part of a vibrant social community.
A few weeks ago I attended one of Brookwood's annual Network Day events as a consultant with the Pennsylvania-based nonprofit Uniquely the Same. This organization is seeking to establish an integrated, inclusive, dignity-first community for adults of all abilities. We wanted to learn from the best, so a team of us from Uniquely the Same flew to the Lone Star state.
Arriving at Brookwood, we were overwhelmed by its scale and attractiveness. The campus boasts a rotunda, a chapel adorned with stained glass windows, expansive manicured lawns and landscaping, and shady willow trees dancing in the breeze. Brookwood's beauty is rivaled only by the tenacity and kindness of its founder, Yvonne Streit, an 89-year-old firecracker, who still commutes 45 minutes to work at Brookwood three times per week. Yvonne started the precursor to Brookwood as a young mother over four decades ago, after her toddler lost all executive function when the child's mumps led to traumatic brain damage. In the 1960s, there weren't a lot of options for her daughter to participate in society, so Yvonne created one. What began as a small education program for a handful of children with special needs has grown into a multi-million dollar flagship organization that is shaping the way the world thinks about people with disabilities.
As we started our tour of Brookwood's campus, we were greeted by Joe, a lanky, salt-and-pepper-haired Citizen who smiled broadly and handed each of us his business card. Joe exemplifies a foundational Brookwood principle: Everyone has the right to find meaningful, enjoyable work that adds value to the community. Initially, Joe was placed as a worker on one of Brookwood's ceramics teams. But he did not thrive there. As they are trained to do, Brookwood staff noticed this and partnered with Joe to find him a better-suited role. They knew that Joe loved people and always greeted tour-goers with enthusiasm, so together they created business cards for Joe that introduced him and promoted Brookwood's work. Joe now earns his paycheck as the official Workshop Greeter of Brookwood and takes great pride in his job.
Brookwood's staff seeks diligently to fit every Citizen with life-giving, paid employment. When they identify a good position, the Citizen submits an application for that job, is interviewed, and then receives an official offer of employment. Yvonne argues that this is a particularly important part of Brookwood's approach, because in many cases, these Citizens have been rejected from many jobs outside of the community. Through this approach, she says, Brookwood is redeeming work for their Citizens.
As we continued on the tour, past the multi-million dollar therapy pool complex and gym, we heard a story from our tour guide that illustrates another core principle of Brookwood, called REDIRECT. When Citizens exhibit behavioral or functional-level problems in their jobs, staff labor to find creative solutions. If there is problem, the responsibility is on the staff to step back and find a solution, rather than trying to control the Citizen's behavior.
For example, Brookwood had a young man with autism who started out well in his job, but then became mysteriously unable to settle down at his work. Teachers and coaches tried everything they could think of to remedy the situation. After two weeks, they called in another employee from Brookwood's leadership staff who'd had significant training and experience with behavioral issues among people with autism. She walked around the classroom and immediately found the source of the trouble. A music boombox had been moved from sitting on a wooden shelf to the top of a metal filing cabinet, creating a frequency that seriously bothered this young Citizen. She moved boombox and his behavior immediately improved. Brookwood's response to this episode contrasts with what is a more common approach in some other facilities caring for individuals with autism. Elsewhere, he may have been put on strong medication to calm him down—with potentially disagreeable side effects.
The tour ended and I stayed back to chat with some Citizens. For an hour, I heard these cheerful employees tell me about their work and the pride they take in their craftsmanship. Brookwood's main source of employment is ceramic production. It is complex, time-consuming, and requires a great level of care. These are the reasons Yvonne and other leaders felt this particular labor would be a perfect fit for many of the Citizens. Everyone has an important role to play, from rolling out the clay, to pattern printing, shaping, firing, painting, and glazing. The Citizens form a well-oiled production machine—and also have a lot of fun together. They have important parts to play on their teams, just as they have important roles to play in the world. They know that they have a lot to offer "neuro-typical" people like me, and, thanks to the work of Brookwood, they're getting to help educate us about that.

What people around Sydney say about Bodytech Automotive
What people say
I just wanted to thank you very much for the fantastic repair work on my Red Honda Civic that I collected yesterday afternoon. My car looks brand new after your amazing wash and polish!!
Jon was also a pleasure to deal with as he excelled in customer service and I really appreciated him keeping in touch throughout the process."
If you are looking for anyone in The Hills or surrounding areas for bodywork or Paintwork on your high end cars or everyday drive. You can't go further the Bodytech Automotive.
Pete and Tristan take customer service to a new level. I have had work on all my cars done by these guys from light touch ups to modifying wheel arches and full paint jobs.
They have worked on all my cars below, and the work was second to none.
Ferrari 458 Italia 2014
Audi R8 V10 2013
Audi RS6 2015
Audi S6 2015
Mercedes E500 Coupe 2014
Audi A1 Sport 2014
Some of the work they conducted was quite extensive, and the quality of work they did even made Audi believe they conducted the repairs themselves.
As a car nut/enthusiast there is none better. Don't waste your time with other repairers as they simply don't have the experience in these sort of cars that BodyTech offer.
It can be daunting for a woman dealing with the results of an accident but Bodytech Automotive looked after my CX9 as well as all my concerns. A big thanks to jon and the office staff for making the paperwork so easy!
I have been a customer of Bodytech since I was 17 in 2008 when my pride and joy went in for a minor incident and ever since I will not go anywhere else as they have been nothing but perfect with all my needs over the last 8 years. Their workmanship is nothing but quality and the care they take with cars is unbelievable.
Peter and the team are always willing to go above and beyond. Every person who I have sent to Peter for a repair , have always been more than grateful for the service they received.
Best in the business
I have had a number of our family vehicles repaired over the years by Bodytech. Without exception the experience of the repair process and the final outcome have been of the highest standard. Bodytech staff are all professional, attentive and customer focused. I would not consider using any other repairer.
I thought it was about time i wrote you a special thanks to you and your staff for all the effort you have offered to me over the years for the service you have provided.
As a fanatical car owner, I was sourcing a reputable workshop for re-finishing that could keep my race car in showroom condition, and after previous experience with some not so reputable, i was cautious. it was, at that stage, easy to see i had come across a company who takes pride in their work.
The office, workshop, presentation and mannerisms of the staff was excellent.
I discussed work on my 1987 Nissan Skyline GTS-R and everything i requested was done to the highest quality and finish, along with commmunication of progress and always returning the vehicle in immaculate condition.
I have since built another race car a 1964 EH Holden, and again Bodytech has carried out refinishing and repairs and some, lets say "tricky" modifications to body parts. The finish was of such high qhality that the vehicle won Best Presented Holden at Muscle Car Masters 2014.
Not only have you maintained my race cars, you have repaired and maintained all of my cars, my families cars and recommended friends and associates. Whether it be due to accidents, dents or minor scratches, the quality of service is always there.
Once again, many thanks to you Peter, and the professional staff you have delivering excellent quality workmanship.
I have known Peter Christadoulou since the year 2000, at which time he was managing a smash repair business in Castle Hill. In 2007 he started his own business Bodytech, also in Castle Hill. Since 2000 Peter has looked after all my vehicle repair needs from any minor dents or scrapes, to more severe accident damage. I love my cars, and I am particularly fussy about who works on them. Peter has an extremely high standard of workmanship, and I can always be confident that not only will I get an excellent job, but it will be carried out in the allocated time. My entire family use Peter, and I have recommended him to a lot of friends and acquaintances over the years. All who I send to Peter have been delighted with the service they receive. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Bodytech to anyone that wants a great repair job with expertise and professionalism.
"I have known Peter and the boys from Bodytech for a long time…
I can't express how happy I am with the quality of work and how quick it is done. They have looked after my street cars as well as my race car and I recommend them to all of my family and friends. Thanks for all your help over the years.
See you for my next project !! Cheers, John"
I was looking for someone who could put the finishing touches on my classic '69 Mustang fastback. I trusted the crew at Bodytech by Design with my Harley custom flame paintwork a few years back and they applied the same quality to my Mustang.
My new Landrover had scored three parking lot dents in it's first 3 months on the road. It was driving me crazy but Bodytech Automotive used their Paintless dent removal magic and the car is like new.
Pete and the guys at Bodytech are real car enthusiasts so they knew what I was trying to achieve with the custom paint and body work on my Skyline. They helped out with the body mods, custom flame paint and wheels.
The Bodytech custom painting and airbrushing team did a great job adding after market checkerboard custom paint to the roof of my Mini...now it's even more special!.
The guys at Bodytech Automotive gave me a great quote and had my Lexus back on the road in 3 days. I would recommend them to anyone who wants quality panel beating for a prestige car.
My husband picked up our car yesterday after the repairs organised by our insurer AAMI.
We wanted to thank you for the great job you did on the vehicle (it was immaculate) but also for your excellent customer service. The lady my husband dealt with yesterday afternoon was friendly, professional and an asset to your Company, as are the people who worked on the car itself.
We would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending you to our family and friends.
We have also advised AAMI in writing this morning of how impressed we are with your Company.
We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy and safe New Year.

Wayne Bent Case To Proceed Before Jury
A northern New Mexico cult leader loses a court battle in his sex crimes case.
Wayne Bent, also known as Michael Travesser to his followers in The Lord Our Righteousness Church, is accused of laying naked and inappropriately touching two young girls at his Strong City compound in Union County.
Bent was indicted May 20, 2008 by a grand jury on two counts of criminal sexual contact of a minor and two counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
Bent's attorney wanted the judge to hear direct testimony from the alleged victims before Bent's trial begins next month, but the judge rejected that request.
District Judge Gerald E. Baca ruled Monday that the girls will give their testimony to jurors at trial.
The jury trial will start November 17, 2008.

As Rare Disease Day approaches on Feb. 28, some rare diseases have been making headlines. One in particular has been reported on by ABC concerning two brothers with a life-threatening disorder discovered last summer called Alport Syndrome. The disease will be at the center of a live tweet discussion today.
ABC has been concerned with a case involving two brothers in Texas, Jonathan and Christopher. Both of the siblings, 18-years-old and 16-years-old, have different personalities. One brother is quiet and loves video games, while the other is outgoing and has hobbies such as jet skiing and dirt bikes. Despite their differences, they both share Alport Syndrome.
When Jonathan was two years old, doctors discovered blood and protein in his urine and after many tests throughout his childhood, they were not able to come up with an explanation. When both brothers were in the early years of elementary school, they experienced hearing loss in both ears. The doctors, though puzzled, could not find an explanation and simply gave the boys hearing aids.
It was only last summer, in their teens, that both Jonathan and Christopher found out they had Alport Syndrome. The disease affects the brain causing persistent and severe epilepsy, liver disease and progressive loss of skills developed through various stages of childhood, also known as developmental milestones.
Through constant seizures and brain damage, death is expected within a year of diagnosis. In some cases for teenagers and older children, the disease may occur over several years before the body succumbs to the symptoms.
Although it is difficult to predict, it is estimated that approximately one in 100,000 people have Alport Syndrome, which is one of nearly 6000 rare diseases now with the spotlight on them as Rare Disease Day approaches.
The syndrome is inherited, which means both parents carry it. The parents may be healthy, but if they have the same faulty genes, most people carry different ones, there is a chance it will be passed on to their child. It is said that each pregnancy has a 25 percent chance of the child being affected by Alpine Syndrome.
An EEG may detect the disease through a distinct pattern in the brain waves. Moreover, a biopsy of the liver during the disease's later stage may also help in diagnosis.
Such as the case for Jonathan and Christopher, the lack of science and awareness on many rare diseases leads to a delay in diagnosis. There are also difficulties financially, and in treatment and care, because of the lack of awareness of the rare disease.
In response, at one p.m. ET today ABC's Dr. Richard Besser, a chief health and medical correspondent, will host a live tweet discussion about rare disorders. He will be joined by the Alport Syndrome Foundation and the National Organization of Rare Diseases, on top of hundreds of other organizations.
This precedes Rare Disease Day, which was launched by Europe in 2008. The day has since become a global event with more than 70 countries participating last year. Though defined differently in each country, roughly the number of people with a disease considered rare is fewer than 200,000. There are reported to be 6000 rare diseases, with 30 million affected in both the UK and America, equal to one in ten Americans. In Canada, one in twelve are affected by a rare disease. So, as Feb. 28 approaches, start thinking about how support can be given. Whether it be sharing a story or volunteering at an event, there is plenty to do on Rare Disease Day.

Polished Concrete flooring is quickly becoming a hot design trend for apartments and condos in The Big Apple. New York City bustles with luxury apartments, posh condos and high-rise buildings kissing the skyline. To think that cold concrete is hot in NYC may take you by surprise, but only if you don't know just how many possibilities it facilitates.
Concrete is versatile. From the sexy wet look in the living room, to neatly polished kitchen floors and more rugged outdoors – concrete flooring can be used in as many way as you like. Concrete is durable and sustainable. Well-maintained and polished concrete floors can last ten decades or more. Concrete is easy to maintain. Mop the floor once a week with soapy water and you're covered.
Acid-stained concrete
Acid staining provides you the freedom to play with your imagination as much as you want. It creates the strongest aesthetic impact and is one of the cheapest concrete flooring options that can wow! Choose colors and staining techniques based on the end result you're pursuing to create a unique finish.
Inorganic salts, water and acid, which can be applied directly over the concrete etch the concrete to create marble-like stains. Granite patterns, lustrous sheen, subtle cracks like those on natural stones are just some of the variations you can create across different rooms.
Water-based stains are another concrete flooring option to get that "wow" look. Water-based stains are more bold in appearance than acid stains. They also tend to be more durable than the former.
Epoxy-coated concrete
Epoxy coating systems are an ideal choice for added beauty and increased durability. It provides a high-gloss and shiny finish that enhances the light reflectivity of floors, making the space brighter. It is slip resistant, easy to maintain and does not prevents mold, mild dew or bacteria and so on from growing. Epoxy paints and coatings can be applied directly over the concrete floor as a simple DIY experiment. They need very little to no preparation and are easy to administer.
You can choose from an array of textures and colors. For multi-colored floors with stylish patterns and interesting textures, use metallic epoxy paints. To create a textured look akin graveled or stone-based floors, use colored epoxy flakes. To mix and match different colors, patterns and textures on the same floor, use stamp overlays over the concrete floor. Or, simply layer the epoxy concrete floor with some Moroccan rugs, furnishings and fixtures and watch them create a warm, luxurious look and feel.
High-gloss sealed concrete
Sealers add decorative effects to the concrete floor and also make it impermeable to moisture and stains. Tinted sealers can add subtle color differences and a textured look to the floor. Use high-gloss tinted sealers to give it a limestone-like appearance. Use acrylic sealers for the wet look.

Korg Monokeys analog keyboard synth – NAMM wishlist
Korg made quite a splash when they brought out the Monotron analogue synthesiser, and quickly followed it with the Monotron Duo, Monotron Delay and the Monotribe. These pocket synths were priced in that 'it would be rude not to' range, and were just fun and inspiring. However, with the success and desirability of slightly larger analog synths such as the Arturia MiniBrute and Moog Minitaur, could Korg launch a synth based on the technology used in modules from the Monotron and Montribe range, with a choice few extra bits and pieces added on, to take on this part of the market? Enter the Korg Monokeys…
The first step is to add a 25-key keyboard with octave transpose buttons. Moving away from the ribbon controller of the Monotrons, this already makes the Monokeys a much more serious instrument. Adding a keyboard though also has the advantage of making the whole unit a bit bigger, so we can squeeze on some new knobs and really add some extra functionality.
Starting with the Oscillators, the two VCOs with cross-modulation from the Monotron Duo would be a good place to start, but what about offering a choice of triangle or square wave for VCO1 and saw or square on VCO2 and perhaps a sub-oscillator with just a single volume control? A standard ADSR, or even a three-knob ADS(D) envelope generator would be a great addition; as would independent volume controls for VCO1 and VCO2.
The MS-10/MS-20 filter from the Monotron comes next, but on the Monokeys it offers that bit more with an envelope generator and envelope amount control. The LFO from the Monotron stays, but is enhanced with a choice of sine, triangle and square waves and an additional three knobs to modulate the pitch, volume or filter cutoff.
Finally, the Korg Monokeys includes the delay effect from the Monotron Delay, and adds a wheel, which can be assigned to filter cutoff or pitch, and a portamento knob. The Monokeys also keeps the audio input for processing external signals, but adds those most-useful of connectivity features: MIDI inputs on DIN and USB connections.
Priced at a competitive £349, the Monokeys would be a great addition to this level of the analogue synthesiser market. It would be everything we've been waiting for (until, that is, the release of the Korg Polykeys…).

Bulldogs baseball drops finale
The Bulldogs will graduate 10 athletes from this year's team. Pictured above, back row, Jacob Brown, Steven Gallardo, Dylan King, Koby Edwards, Rowdy Holmes, Ryan Warwick, and Chance Jennings. Front row, Tyler Ford, Coleman Posey, and Christian Tucker.
By Wayne Craig
Bulletin Sports
Eight errors in the course of their final game was simply too much for the Bulldog Baseball team to overcome last Friday night. Burnet, who hosted Liberty Hill for the season finale, built an 8-3 lead after two innings of play but flat-lined in the last three innings of the contest.
The Panthers scored 14 runs in the final three innings to storm back for the victory, 17-9.
The Bulldogs spotted the Hill three runs in the top of the first, but responded well in the bottom of the inning. The offense was kicked off by a Steven Gallardo single and a Reid Dalrymple walk putting two on for Burnet.
Koby Edwards followed that with a single that plated Gallardo and before the inning was done Dalrymple scored on a Panther error moving the Dawgs closer at 3-2.
After holding their opponent at bay in the top of the second the Dawgs went to work. Burnet loaded the bases with a Tyler Ford single, Coleman Posey walk after being hit by a pitch, and Gallardo walk. Dalrymple hit a two RBI single giving Burnet the lead at 4-2.
Gallardo soon crossed home plate on a wild pitch, and a Dylan King double plated Dalrymple. Rowdy Holmes reached base on a walk and eventually scored on a wild pitch which brought Burnet's run count to six in the second. At that point it was all Dawgs, 8-3.
The entire third and top of the fourth went by scoreless.
The Bulldogs increased their lead to 9-3 in the bottom of the fourth with a one RBI double by Ford that brought Holmes home.
Unfortunately that's where the fun ended for Burnet.
Liberty Hill went on a scoring frenzy added four in the fifth, eight in the sixth, and two in the seventh, all while holding Burnet scoreless for the comeback 17-9 victory.
The loss ended the Bulldogs season with a mark of 9-16 overall, 5-7 in district play.
Burnet had 10 hits in the game. King and Ford produced doubles. Singles were added by Gallardo, two; Dalrymple, two; Edwards, one; and Ford, one.
Gallardo pitched just over five innings allowing eight hits and 13 runs, with three strikeouts and four walks.
The Bulldogs will graduate 10 members of this year's team. Those athletes include Rowdy Holmes, Ryan Warwick, Coleman Posey, Koby Edwards, Dylan King, Steven Gallardo, Chance Jennings, Christian Tucker, Jacob Brown, and Tyler Ford.

The interiors of the houses in colder regions need to be warmed up in winters, to save the residents from freezing and chilling weather. The best and the most affordable way of heating the indoors is the placement of a fireplace in a room, which is an age-old practice that has been used since ancient periods. Previously, it was a brick structure, provided with a hearth for lighting the fire and a chimney for passing out the resultant smoke. Now electrical devices are also available in the market that acts as the smoke-free fireplaces and are seen in many modern households. However, the traditional fireplaces provide some common benefits to the house owners and their family members.
Major Reasons for Installing A Fireplace in A Room
#1. Provides Comfortable Atmosphere
The interior of a room becomes comfortably warmer with the help of the heat produced by a fireplace. Thus, the indoor atmosphere becomes much cosier in nature, with the residents gathering around this fire and enjoying its warmth while enjoying the relaxed moments in the company of family members. The young couples often find the option of sitting by this fire of their living room to be highly romantic as well.
#2. Highly Energy Efficient
The warmth produced by a traditional fireplace does not need the support of electricity or any form of energy, except wood. Hence, the house owners can expect a much lower monthly utility bill than the ones created by the use of electric room heaters. Moreover, as it is free from the utilization of electricity, thus saves a lot of thermal or hydroelectric power.
#3. Prevents Freezing at All Times
The traditional fireplace is designed to be free from the electricity or any source of power supplied by the utility companies. Hence, this fire continues to burn smoothly, even if a major power fault occurs that may cause a total blackout in that house or in the entire area. The residents can have sufficient light from this blazing fire that helps them avert both darkness and coldness.
#4. Act Doubly as Cooking Fire
Lots of people prefer to save fuel for making evening tea or coffee, by using the fireplaces of their living rooms. They may also use this fire as BBQs for roasting and preparing fast meals for dinner. Hence, they can enjoy the company of their guests, while preparing tasty dishes for them.
#5. Environment Friendly
When wood is burned in a fireplace, it provides zero carbon footprints, as established by the modern scientists. Hence, this kind of fuel is said to be environment friendly and as wood produces the very little amount of smoke, making the fireplaces absolutely eco-friendly in nature. Moreover, very small amount of wood is sufficient to produce a good amount of heat, thus saving rapid destruction of trees.
#6. Keeps the Outdoor Clean
The fire in the fireplaces can be lit with the twigs and branches that fall off during a storm.. Hence, the correct utilization of these small pieces of wood helps in making the entire outdoor clean again. When the branches of a large tree need to be chopped off, these dead wood pieces are also useful in lighting a fire in the hearth of the fireplace.
The fireplaces help the house owners in saving money in the monthly utility bills and also save the medical expenses that could have been caused due to cold-borne ailments. The fire from these fireplaces can be made for free if there are plenty of trees available within the house premises for supplying enough wood.
Check out which of the above mentioned is suitable to your requirement before you opt for one.

10 Reasons Why The Second Day Of Breastfeeding Is Legit The Hardest
So you've chosen to breastfeed, huh? Good for you! There's no wrong way to feed an infant, and I've tried them all, but, personally, breastfeeding is my favorite. In the grand scheme of things I caught on pretty quickly and didn't have any substantial problems, but that's not to say breastfeeding wasn't hard AF. I sobbed my way through numerous nursing sessions, and never more than on the day after my son was born. I'd go as far as to say that the second day of breastfeeding is the hardest.
As a new mom only 48 hours into the job, everything is brand-spanking new. At the same time, you're just expected to do everything because, well, you have to. Moreover, any of the concerns that you told yourself you'd "deal with tomorrow" are creeping up on you, and quickly. So before you know it you're holding a 2-day-old baby and thinking, "Tomorrow is here and I still don't know what's up with that. Is someone going to handle that? Is everything OK? Should I be worried? Because I'm kind of worried. Should I be more worried?"
So before you go into this magical mystical boob quest (that's what I'm calling breastfeeding from now on because it sounds cooler), be warned that you will be tested early on, and for a number of reasons. If you have already gone on your magical mystical boob quest, read on to know that you are not alone in your past woes and tribulations.
Because Of The Hormone Crash
In my experience (and I know I'm not alone), a day or so after you have your baby all those hormones that have been sustaining your pregnancy, and all those new hormones that are popping up to support milk production, go bonkers. Don't be surprised if you find yourself feeling so many feelings. Definitely don't be surprised if you find yourself struggling to handle even one of them. Honestly, this process is typical and it passes under normal circumstances... but it is definitely going to make everything harder for a hot minute, including breastfeeding.
Because It's All Hitting You All At Once
The immediate glow (or trauma) of your birth is over and now you're faced with the reality that all your waiting is over and your baby is here. And not only are they here, but they need you. Immediately. All the time. Don't they know you just gave birth and need some rest? If they do, they DGAF. Your petty existence is inconsequential to them.
This requirement to hit the ground running (and not just running but booking it) is a lot to manage in and of itself, but the intimate realization of that fact is just as daunting. Breastfeeding is one of those things you have to dive into and flail your way through for a while, but it's a big one.
Because, If You Delivered In A Hospital, Your Discharge Date Is Looming
Yeah, a part of you just wants to be home in your own bed, with your own stuff, but another part of you is tremendously comforted by being taken care of 24/7 by a cadre of specially trained professionals. Once you get home there's no one to ask questions of, no one to take the baby for a few minutes (or a night), and no one tell you what needs to be done. This looming sense of being on your own adds a kind of frenzied worry to breastfeeding.
Because The Lactation Consultant *Still* Hasn't Visited
They said that someone would be in your room at some point, because this is a baby-friendly facility and the lactation consultant meets with everyone. So day one came and went and you're like, "It's OK, they'll be in soon." But by mid-day on day two (and, funnily enough, the days feel really long all of a sudden) you begin to nibble at your cuticles and wonder if they're going to make it in to see you before you have to check out. Neither their absence, nor your worry about it, is making breastfeeding any easier.
Because Your Milk Probably Hasn't Come In Yet
Because either you didn't realize it doesn't happen right away and you're worried, or because you're a Type A person who read that it can between two to five days and the fact that it hasn't happened as early as possible has your overachieving ass all worried. Either way, you're getting anxious at this point.
For the worried unknowing people: don't worry. In the first few days your baby will be getting colostrum, a nutrient rich substance that your body may have been making for a while now and is specially formulated to sustain your baby in the first days of their life. If you're a Type A worrier: no, really, it's OK if it doesn't come in come in as soon as it could. Your timeline is still totally reasonable!
Because Weight Checks Are Terrifying
Babies lose weight after birth. This is very normal, but lots of people don't know it's normal. So finding out that your eight-pound baby has dropped down to seven pounds fourteen ounces is jarring.
"That's fine," a nurse will say. "We just want to make sure that goes back up a bit before you're discharged."
So, you know, zero pressure at all. Certainly not the kind of pressure that could making nursing even more challenging.
Because Your Life Is Revolving Around Your Baby's Diaper
Is it wet?! Is it wet now? How about now? Now? Now? Now? Noooooooooooow?! THE DOCTOR TOLD ME THIS BABY NEEDS TO PEE AND I NEED THEM TO PEE SO THAT I KNOW THEY'RE OK AND GETTING ENOUGH TO EAT AND DRINK.
Because Three Different People Have All Given You Contradictory Advice To "Help" You
Bless all their hearts, because they mean well, but all that information coming at you at once isn't super helpful. And that's not to say all of it isn't good advice, but being generally good advice and good advice for you and your baby aren't necessarily the same thing. Every body and every baby is different and respond to different techniques. Not knowing what works for you yet, and being presented with so many different options, is daunting.
Because Your Baby Is Hungrier
This was my experience, anyway. Day one my son was totally fine just nomming on colostrum. Day two? He wanted milk and even though he was totally fine he was not happy. There is no hell quite as torturous as an unhappy infant.
I would go to feed him, he would eat for a bit, not get everything he wanted, get frustrated, and, as a result, constantly pop off the breast. This, in turn, would piss him off and he would just scream at me.
It. Was. Misery.
(I should add that towards the very end of day two/beginning of day three, I think, I introduced formula as a supplement and that saved my damn life.)
Because You're So Damn Tired
You can only run on happy hormones and adrenaline for so long before sleeplessness (or horribly broken sleep) gets the better of you. Exhaustion affects you in lots of different ways, all of which will make breastfeeding harder and more emotional.
So be warned: day two is a beast, friends!
