Our Practice Areas
Our firm's real estate practice is transactional and focuses on closing acquisitions, dispositions, leasing, and financing for residential and commercial properties throughout Florida. When you first meet with our team at Perez Abello Law, we will work to fully understand your unique needs before identifying and implementing creative and cost-effective legal solutions. Our clients' needs are always our top priority, and we will work to fiercely protect your interests throughout our handling of your case.
Our real estate legal services in Miami can assist you with:
- Residential and Commercial Closings. Closing any type of real estate transaction can be an immensely confusing and overwhelming process, even when a deal is ostensibly in place. Our team can help you manage each facet of the closing process, including preparing a purchase and sale agreement, facilitating escrow, securing the appropriate financing, appraising and inspecting the property, examining and resolving title issues, securing the appropriate insurance policies, and executing all closing documents. We will work to move you through each stage as efficiently and safely as possible.
- Residential and Commercial Financing and Refinancing. Most residential and commercial real estate purchases are facilitated through some type of financing. Our firm regularly works with buyers, developers, brokers, and lenders – both institutional and private – and can help prepare, review, and negotiate all types of financing agreements for commercial and residential properties. Our firm facilitates seller financing for deals that do not involve traditional banks or lenders.

Our team can negotiate complex financing and refinancing deals for large-scale commercial properties, including loans involving multi-family rental properties, office and retail buildings, and new builds.
- Title Insurance and Escrow Services. You must conduct a thorough title examination when looking to purchase any type of property. Title impediments and other encumbrances can jeopardize your legal ownership of and investment in a property. Many lenders will require that you purchase title insurance to protect against this possibility, but you should also consider investing in owner title insurance, which specifically works to protect you – the buyer – from legal and financial harm. Our firm can prepare and issue both lender and owner title insurance policies. We also offer escrow services, which are typically necessary when placing a "good faith" deposit at the start of the closing process.

Our team can also interpret due diligence investigations, coordinate environmental and property inspections, and examine third-party documentation.

We are familiar with what elements should be present in any residential lease and can help you negotiate an agreement that is enforceable and consistent with your needs. Our firm also works with entrepreneurs, investors, developers, and businesses to secure commercial lease agreements. We can work to verify that a prospective commercial property meets your specific needs or that a prospective tenant is appropriate for your space.

Some of my compositions have been published in prestige publishing houses of USA, France, Russia and Belgium. In addition to composing, I perform on violin and piano (Library Congress Wash.DC), (United Nations) NYC
My teaching method is the specially developed system consisting of a complex of composed tasks and exercises, directed on fast mastering of a musical material and development of learning playing the violin piano and guitar The given system has been made taking into account all components of educational process: pedagogical, psychological and informative. Eccentricity of the given guide consists that it is made of composed tasks and exercises which have been prepared as the lesson plan for violin's pianos and guitar's practice with the American pupils throughout 10 years. And it means that, in the process of adaptation of the above material necessary corrective amendments in the plan of a lesson taking into account individual abilities of the pupil were introduced.
I actively have pedagogical practice as well as. I am currently Teacher of Violin, Piano, Guitare ,Music theory ,Composition, kids string ensemble.

The "Express " effective training Method of playing the VIOLIN: Everyone is able to do it! (Volume 1) I am also an expert on Eastern and Jewish music
My musical lesson or lecture is a creative process where there is no teacher and students, but there are senior and younger colleagues who create in common this process of creativity. The creative growth of the student is defined not by quantity of the learnt homework, but by quality of employment and display of his creative activity in any process. I should always take into account interest of the student and direct him on his way, chosen by him: (classics or another stiles).
Select all the days/times the student would be available to start lessons. Selecting "3pm - 7pm" means the student can start as early as 3pm or start as late as 7pm. It is important that you select as many days and the widest window of start times for each day as possible. That will help us make a match with one of our teachers.Ok
Are you sure that's your only availability? The more availability you easier it will be to arrange a teacher for you.

David Bauerlein
Mayor Alvin Brown will host a three-day meeting of the U.S. Conference of Mayors in Jacksonville about how exports and port development can generate jobs for cities.
Scheduled for Feb. 23-25, the meeting will bring together mayors, seaport experts, federal trade officials and export strategists, according to an announcement Wednesday.
The Conference of Mayors named Brown last year as chairman of a task force that will recommend a strategy for boosting exports and upgrading the nation's ports.
"This meeting is about job creation and keeping our metro economies globally competitive," Brown said in the announcement.

He said that the number of app users increased significantly over the past two weeks, it had previously been downloaded by 100,000 people, but by Thursday, September 3, by 133 000.
The interest in the app is influenced by both the increase in COVID-19 incidence rates and the news of the deteriorating situation in Europe, Perevoščikovs said.
He stressed that the app is a good means of limiting the spread of infection and that pupils should consider using it. It is relatively easy to track school contacts yet nobody knows who the pupil is sitting next to on the bus and otherwise outside the school.
As of May 29, the voluntary contact detection application "Stop COVID" developed in Latvia is available. In the first month, it already had more than 80,000 users.

Click here to view and discuss this page in DocCommentXchange. In the future, you will be sent there automatically.
Before using existing applications with this version of the software, be sure to review the list of behavior changes to determine whether your application is affected. See SQL Anywhere® 10 - Changes and Upgrading.
Adaptive Server Anywhere has been renamed SQL Anywhere. In this chapter, SQL Anywhere is used to refer to all versions.
If you are upgrading from version 10.0.0, you can either use the Upgrade utility or rebuild your database. See Upgrading version 10.0.0 databases, and Rebuilding version 10.0.0 databases.
Databases with materialized views
It is recommended that you refresh the materialized views in your database after upgrading your database server, or after rebuilding or upgrading your database to work with an upgraded database server. See Refreshing materialized views.
If you are upgrading to SQL Anywhere version 10.0.1 from version 9 or earlier, you must rebuild the database, which consists of unloading the old database, and reloading it into a new version 10 database. Attempting to load version 9 or earlier databases results in an error on database startup. There are three approaches for rebuilding existing databases:
Use the version 10.0.0 Unload utility (dbunload) with the -an (create a new database) or -ar (replace the old database) option. See Rebuilding a version 9 or earlier database using the Unload utility.
The Unload utility (dbunload) has the same file name in all versions of SQL Anywhere. You must make sure you are using the correct version. See Using the utilities.
Use the Unload Database wizard in Sybase Central. You can choose to create a new database, replace an existing database with the new database, or unload the database to a file. See Rebuilding a version 9 or earlier database from Sybase Central.
Unload the database using an older version of dbunload, and then reload the database using the reload.sql file and the version 10.0.0 database server. If you need to make schema changes, this is the recommended way of upgrading. After you make the schema changes, you can initialize a new database, and then apply the rebuild script to it.
Rebuilding Mac OS X databases
You must use SQL Anywhere 9.0.2 or earlier software to unload a version 9.0.2 or earlier database on Mac OS X. If you want to unload a Mac OS X database using SQL Anywhere 10 software, you must unload the database on a different platform. The reload can be performed on Mac OS X using the version 10 software.
If you want to change the characteristics of the database during unload and reload (for example, change a case-sensitive database to a case-insensitive database), the procedure is more involved. For more information, see Rebuilding databases.
SQL Anywhere 10 database servers support connections from client applications using software from version 6.0.0 or later. Version 5 and earlier clients cannot connect to a version 10 database server. When version 9 and earlier clients connect to a version 10 database server, they cannot use the following features:
Kerberos logins
The embedded SQL NCHAR type
Improved support of Unicode data from ODBC, OLE DB, and ADO.NET (for example, describing NCHAR as WCHAR columns)
BLOB performance enhancements for Unicode applications using ODBC, and all applications using OLE DB and ADO.NET
Enhancements that primarily improve WAN performance, but that also provide some improvements to LAN performance
Setting SATMP for shared memory connections
A different search order is used to locate the temporary file in version 9 and earlier than is used in version 10. If you are connecting a version 9 or earlier client to a version 10 database server over shared memory, you must set the SATMP (version 10) and ASTMP (version 9 and earlier) environment variables to specify the location of the temporary file. If you do not set these environment variables, the shared memory connection attempt will fail.
Management of old databases and old database servers from the current version of Sybase Central is provided as follows:
You can connect to and administer version 8 and later databases running on version 8 and later servers.
You can connect to a version 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9 database on a version 8 or later database server to rebuild the database using the Unload Database wizard from Sybase Central.
There is no support for version 6 and earlier databases running on version 7 and older database servers.
If you are connecting to a version 10.0.0 or later database with a version 9 client application such as Sybase Central or Interactive SQL, the connections use the iAnywhere JDBC driver by default, rather than jConnect. The iAnywhere JDBC driver is the recommended JDBC driver for connecting to SQL Anywhere databases.
Using the utilities
Upgrade quick start
Important upgrade precautions
Upgrading version 10.0.0 databases
Rebuilding version 10.0.0 databases
Upgrading SQL Anywhere software and databases in a database mirroring system

The collection comprises sixteen chapters that span the breadth of the early modern period and are produced by scholars from a variety of disciplinary backgrounds to explore what the application of trauma as an analytical lens can reveal about the early modern period and, conversely, what conceptualizations of psychological trauma from the early modern period can tell us about trauma theory itself.
Trauma studies is a rich, well-developed, and multifaceted field of inquiry that, from a humanities perspective, has engaged historians, cultural theorists, sociologists, and those who study gender, race, literature, language, and narrative forms. However, almost all studies of trauma take as their focus our modern age, and many scholars of trauma are quick to point to the phenomenon as uniquely modern. Contemporary trauma theory originated with the psychiatric approaches of nineteenth-century physicians and theorists and since then it has been heavily shaped by responses to modern catastrophes. As such trauma is often seen as inherently linked to modernity, and this has served to prevent or problematize its application to earlier periods.
Yet psychological and cultural trauma as a result of distressing or disturbing experiences is a human phenomenon that has been recorded across time and cultures. Take, for example, the long seventeenth century (1598–1715), which has been described as a period of almost continuous warfare. The sixteenth to eighteenth centuries saw the development of modern slavery, colonialism, and nationalism, and it witnessed plagues, floods, climate change, and significant socio-political, economic, and religious transformation. Early modern chroniclers were eager to record these devastating experiences, and accounts exist from a variety of times and places, although the culturally produced frames of reference available in an early modern context differ from those of our present day. The paradox between trauma's supposed modernity and the evidence of traumatic encounters in the early modern world leads us to consider: What counts as trauma, for whom, and under what circumstances? How was the reaction to extreme events and circumstances articulated in the early modern period, how can these reactions be identified and conceptualized today, and what can we learn from this?
My own chapter in the collection considers cultural trauma and the experience of revolution and exclusion. "Cultural Trauma, Exile, and the Birth of Jacobitism" offers an analysis of the conceptualizations of early Jacobites toward their collective experience of rapid, disruptive, and comprehensive sociopolitical change. The chapter argues that cultural trauma was a precondition for the birth of Jacobitism and that examining early Jacobite rhetoric reveals a "discourse of trauma" that suggests that certain types of change itself may have distressing effects and bring shocks and wounds to the social and cultural tissue. In considering forms of traumatogenic change, this chapter also considers the culturally traumatic experience of foreign exile and/or political and cultural marginalization under hostile domestic regimes, combined with cultural memories of recent past conflict and violence.
In recognizing that the experience of trauma predates its definition, and that modern definitions of trauma require adaptation and remolding to fit early modern contexts, the chapters included in this collection uncover what we can learn from this approach about the early modern experience more broadly, but also what we can learn about the malleability and flexibility of the concept of trauma and the history of human responses to, and narration of, extreme events, giving invaluable insights into some of the most pressing issues of today. This is particularly the case given that the final phase of this project took place in 2020. As such, contributors and editors of this collection on early modern trauma were concentrating on this topic while simultaneously experiencing a moment of collective trauma ourselves as the COVID-19 pandemic gripped the world and forced us all into global lockdowns. In addition, the Black Lives Matter movement, which began in the United States and quickly spread across Europe, served to highlight deeply ingrained and enduring transgenerational and cultural traumas that continue to influence the modern world and which were primarily drawn from the early modern era. With this in mind, Cynthia and I very much hope that the work included in this volume can serve to reinforce the connection between past and present, and to offer a starting point to consider how we can identify core human experiences and understand them in their own context as well as in relation to our own time and place.

WebAssembly Ends Browser Preview With Initial API & Binary Format
The WebAssembly project that's the cross-browser effort for low-level programming for in-browser client-side execution has reached a major milestone today. WASM can allow compiling C/C++ among other languages down into code supported by Firefox, Chrome, WebKit, and Edge.
The WebAssembly stakeholders agreed that it's the end of the browser preview phase with the initial WebAssembly API and binary format being complete for their initial implementation. Web browsers can now begin shipping WebAssembly support enabled by default.
The JavaScript API and binary format are considered complete for now and there is also a reference interpreter. A W3C Working Group is to be formed to complete the initial specification and to continue iterating future releases of WASM.
More details on this major WebAssembly milestone via this mailing list post. Those wanting to learn more about the project itself can visit WebAssembly.org.

It is known that the soft tail of the gamma-ray bursts' spectra show excesses from the exact power-law dependence. In this article we show that this departure can be detected in the peak flux ratios of different BATSE DISCSC energy channels. This effect allows to estimate the redshift of the bright long gamma-ray bursts in the BATSE Catalog. A verification of these redshifts is obtained for the 8 GRB which have both BATSE DISCSC data and measured optical spectroscopic redshifts. There is good correlation between the measured and estimated redshifts, and the average error is . The method is similar to the photometric redshift estimation of galaxies in the optical range, hence it can be called as "gamma photometric redshift estimation". The estimated redshifts for the long bright gamma-ray bursts are up to . For the the faint long bursts – which should be up to – the redshifts cannot be determined unambiguously with this method.
Key words: cosmology: large-scale structure of Universe / gamma-rays: bursts

The class was asked to find a problem space that would require three stakeholders to solve collaboratively. Our team chose the field of epidemiology because of its rich cast of stakeholders and wicked problems. Because our team was largely unfamiliar with epidemiology, we approached the problem using a double-diamond approach.
Desk Research
Confirming that there's actually a problem that technology can solve
We initially conducted landscape research because none of us were familiar with epidemiology. We looked through publications, published research, etc. which helped narrow/define our scope.
Epidemiologists operate at several different scales. Global, federal, state-wide, county. Each branch has unique challenges.
The term "epidemic" is very broad, and many types of "epidemics" exist.
There are MANY stakeholders which contribute to the field of epidemiology. Nurses, doctors, labs, epidemiologists, data analysts, policy makers, patients, etc.
Focus on county-level epidemiology system due to ease of access to interviewees
Narrow scope to communicable diseases
Focus on a system that interacts with epidemiologist, nurse case manager, and patient.
But, perhaps most importantly, we found three documented problems in the field of epidemiology that might be mitigated by data management/technology.
01. The stakeholders must be able to communicate clearly/effectively to one another.
02. The epidemics must be managed in a timely manner.
03. The epidemics must be managed in accurate manner.
The desk research was useful in getting a big picture overview into the unfamiliar field of epidemiology, but designing a tool required us to dive deeper into the actual stakeholders' work. So we next worked on the stakeholders that we could run some user research on.
Based on our desk research, we found a trio of stakeholders who seemed to exchange a lot of data with one another; to confirm, and to learn more about the problem space, we scheduled expert interviews with the three stakeholders. Some were contextual inquiries and others were held remotely. I focused on the user experience of the epidemiologist.
Epidemiologist (ME!)
manages multiple case managers who provide a lot of data regarding epidemics
Case manager/Nurse
point of contact for those infected and manages their health case
dealing with a contagion and relays health information to their case manager
Expert Interviews
There's so much data an epidemiologist has to be aware of!
We interviewed epidemiologists at the Alameda County Public Health Department (California) and Tri-County Health Department (Colorado). Although we as a team conducted more interviews, the most pertinent data for me arose from these two interviews. The former was in-situ and the latter was a remote phone call. The interviews were, for the most part, unstructured simply because we wanted to really widen the net for design opportunities in this unfamiliar field. As a result of the interview being unstructured, I had to parse out design opportunities from a lot of conversation. One of the biggest findings had a big impact on my future information architecture:
The tasks of the epidemiologist, although varying from county to county, largely fell into three categories: Disease Management, Monitoring Reports from Health Providers, and Federal Information Updates from CDC. It is from these three areas that timely and accurate notifications are essential; currently the data stream is monitored manually.
This finding would later greatly determine how I decided to organize my application because I wanted the flow of the interface to mirror the existing mental workflow of epidemiologists. In addition, it became very evident that current and accurate information was the crux of the epidemiologist's work. Below are the rest of my findings, and I've listed the resulting design features. It's quite text-heavy, but the interviews were so fruitful, complex, and interesting so I had to include the findings!
1. To me, one of the most interesting parts of the epidemiologist's job appeared to be left up to "chance" and prone to human error. It turns out that in epidemiology, finding a common "link" or source of illness between two patients is really important. For example, finding out that two patients with Salmonella poisoning ate at the same restaurant around the same time last week is an important thing to know! However, in the current system, the only way to discover this important piece of information is through "chance." For example, Dylan and Molly (two case managers) might be chatting casually over lunch about their latest cases. It's only when Dylan mentions in passing that one of his patients got sick from eating at Taco Joint last week. Molly then realizes that one of her patients, also sick, ate at Taco Joint last week. In other words, the discovery of a "source" of illness might literally be dependent on a lunch conversation.
FEATURE: I need to design something that allows for this source detection to be automated using the data that my case managers are collecting.
2. Each disease's specifications, reporting needs, etc. are HIGHLY unique. As in, the definition of an "outbreak" for that Tuberculosis might be different from Ebola and the type of information case managers need to collect from patients is different for each type of disease.
FEATURE: The application needs pages which are "disease-specific." In fact, this entire section "Disease management" needs to be disease-specific.
3. Case managers should be able to see real-time, overall data trends when it is important. Case managers are encouraged when they see their work is helping reduce new occurrences of a disease.
FEATURE: I need to be able to send notes about data trends to the case managers
4. Due to the sensitive nature of health data and trends, it is important to have data vetted by case managers and scrubbed by data analysts.
FEATURE: I want to see data real-time, but I also need to have a way to see well "vetted" data from my analyst. Accuracy is more important than speed.
5. The ability to have some control over any automated processes is very important. Previous attempts to introduce automation into epidemiology have failed due to the inability to tailor "alert" settings for the diseases. For example, some diseases historically have "high" seasons where experienced epidemiologists expect to see an increase in cases over the summer. However, there was no way to input this "expected increase in cases" into the old systems, so the system would send many alerts about an "outbreak" over the summer seasons.
FEATURE: I need to implement customize-ability for each disease.
6. Labs and doctors are required by law to report new cases of a communicable disease. One of the most troubling problems for epidemiologists are when there is a sudden decrease in reports from either a lab or a doctor (usually due to a system error). Therefore it is important to know when this happens as soon as possible.
FEATURE: I need to receive alerts when there is a decrease or in reporting from a given lab or facility.
7. Sometimes, updates from the federal system mean that they have to collect additional information from patients for a given disease. However, the current means of data collection is on paper forms. This means that most new, required information is actually jotted down in the margins of the paper data collection form.
FEATURE: I need a way to see updates from the federal system, and a way to edit the data collection forms that case managers use to get data from patients.
Jobs To Be Done Statements and a Persona
Because the design that was emerging tended to be task oriented, I prepared both personas and jobs-to-be-done statements.
Ben, epidemiologist
Age: 47
About Ben:
Ben cares about preventing biological disasters in the city. He is a firm believer in good, clean data that can help him see patterns regarding contagions. He has to deal with a ton of data from many different sources, and he needs to make sense of it all. He works closely with case managers.
Behavioral Considerations:
-Does not want to act rashly - prefers to wait until more accurate data arrives to prevent panic
-Trusts systems-in-place, trusts data from analyst
-Methodological, organized approaches are required for his line of work
-Human oversight or error might cause him to miss epidemiological connections between cases
-Data transmission between entities is not uniform leading to missing information being logged
1. I want to manage and analyze several different epidemic cases so I can analyze current risks and predict future risks, gain a comprehensive understanding interrelations between cases, and form a response plan.
2. I want to make sure that I am getting the right information into my database so I can accurately diagnose problems quickly and reduce the burden of human error and oversight in detecting problems.
3. I want to forward information/alerts to others so that I can share information in a way which does not cause panic.
4. I want to interface with the federal system so that I can have the most current information and needs
5. I want to have the ability adjust sensitivity of flags so that I can avoid getting flags all the time for things that are normal and avoid being annoyed.
Information Architecture
An information network between three stakeholders
I had to work closely with my two teammates who were designing the UX for their respective stakeholders. The design that emerged was one of an interconnected network of data transmission to help prevent data loss and reduce human oversight. As mentioned previously, I knew I wanted to structure my application to mirror the mental categorization of the epidemiologist, so I split my application into Disease Management, Monitoring Reports from Health Providers, and Federal Updates from CDC
Seriously a really early iteration of my design approach.
Basic Design Approach
01 - Separate application into the three distinct sections
02 - Make alerts prominent and provide a way to verify the source of data
03 - Provide extreme amount of customize-ability
04 - Make the data displayed 'disease-specific'
Sketching layout of various features and figuring out organization/flow...
Version 1 of Landing Page... I was concerned with what was the most important information to display on this landing page
I rounded corners of alerts to try to distinguish them from a normal information display
You can see the separation of the three categories here
To handle the three categories of tasks (Disease Management, Reporting, and Updates), I stacked a navigation bar to the left with these three categories. To switch between diseases, I included an easy-to-access disease search box on the left.
To tackle the fact that epidemiologists trust their data analyst that already provides them with charts, I decided to include two pages of data visualization - the first was 'auto-generated' data that only included information that the system could know, such as aggregate case manager data. The second was a page filled with infographics that the data analyst would upload. I've shown the toggle/dropdown option to switch here
Usability Testing Round 1
A cognitive think-aloud task-oriented interview. I created a test plan and recruited 3 public health students.
1. Proper copy/text is CRITICAL, particularly for field-specific jargon. If the terminology is not natural, then users will become confused. The prototype does not use intuitive language.
2. Data visualization on landing page is not really noticed.
3. The separation of categories confused users, but I suspected this was because I tested students rather than professional epidemiologists (later confirmed).
4. It was unclear to users how to switch between diseases. It wasn't clear that the pages they were looking at were disease specific.
Wireframing Round 2 + Running Usability Tests Again
Moved work into Figma because I wasn't happy with Adobe XD, and prototyped in InVision. Ran usability tests on usertesting.com.
I revamped the landing page to very clearly indicate the three sections of the application using three bounded sections.
Instead of stacking all alerts in one section together, I placed them within the context of each of the three categories
Removed data visualization from landing page and moved it into the disease management section
Forced user to have to type in specific disease to enter the "Disease Management" section to reinforce the idea that the data they were looking at was disease specific
Emphasized single most important statistic on landing page
Y-axis showing three
task areas
X-axis showing disease specific pages
I still wanted to keep the vertical navigation bar from lo-fi mockup showing the three sections - but I also wanted an "x-axis" showing disease specific pages.
X-Y Axis implemented
Y-axis showing three
task areas
Too much data here would have likely been mistrusted by the epidemiologist and hard to read in a glance. So, I opted to show only the most important information here and that was the number of cases over time with respect to when an intervention was introduced. A very simple line graph with a vertical marker shows the most important piece of information - "trend over time and point at which intervention was introduced"
1. The separation of concepts/workflows is intuitive to professional epidemiologists.
2. Rather than using the mechanism I built to "switch" between diseases, users would simply just go back to the landing page and re-type in a different disease. This actually seemed like a fine solution because it's probably unusual to switch between diseases in one login session.
3. It was clear to users that the pages they were looking at were disease specific, due to the X-Y axis system.
Final Prototype
Data dashboard for specific disease with both real-time data and vetted data
Final Prototype
"X-Axis" design showing disease-specific pages
Alert for potential source identified for a disease
"Y-Axis" with three categories of workflow

In Ekaterinburg there was the graffiti on the centenary of the execution of the Romanovs
Any passerby can feel like a participant in those tragic events.
Since the assassination of the Royal Romanov family was held exactly one hundred years. Especially to this date, the journalists Sign and advertising Studio Great has prepared a special project called "Point of no return".
In the underpass near Church on Blood in Yekaterinburg, there were two black-and-white image.
On one wall — the family of the Romanovs, on the other their executioners with guns.
On the floor placed the red marks that indicate the exact distance between the participants of the events in the Ipatiev house on the night of 17th July 1918.
During the download an error has occurred.
The authors of the graffiti explain what I wanted to show people what it means to be in the face of death, and to immerse them in that tragic moment.

Update #2018-07 – WHAT AN ADVENTURE
What a month June has been. Amidst the greatest civil unrest Nicaragua has experienced since the 80's, God is still doing amazing things. PCA is moving forward, educating and reaching out to the children and families of Palacaguina and all because of your prayers and support. We finished several projects this month and had several opportunities to minister and love on others. So grateful God has called us to work in Palacaguina. We hope you enjoy seeing the pictures in this update and read to the end for a special update on our family.
One of the most exciting happenings in June was the completion of our primary school playground. The pictures can barely begin to express the excitement of the 1st graders. They love their new playground and we are so grateful to the WPC Youth who created the space with the fence and sand as well as for the wonderful donor who paid for the structures to be created. Thank you so much for providing this amazing place for our children to play.
1st Grade TV
A major part of our English class has been the ability to show videos. We were able to purchase and install the TV for the first grade class this month. Thank you to the donor who has so far provided all of our classroom TVs. These are used every day to teach and we are grateful to have them. This is one more capability that sets PCA apart.
Two of our Preschool children participated in a local International Folk Festival. They competed in a dance competition where they performed a traditional Nicaraguan dance. It was a blessing to watch and see PCA getting to participate in this event. One of the ways we are able to be a part of the community.
I was humbled to be invited by this small church in the mountains of Palacaguina to a delicious meal. I cannot begin to describe what an honor this was to be given so much from people who have so little. They slaughtered a goat for us and fed us so much. This chapel our church in Palacaguina built is the only church in this village of about 400 people. It is amazing to see what God is doing.
A definite highlight this month was participating in a youth camp we did in Palacaguina. We had 126 youth come out for a day of worship, teaching, food, & fun. I was the games coordinator for the camp and it was so much fun. I love getting to work with and spend time with the wonderful people of Nicaragua. God is so good!!
This year, for Father's Day, we had an event at our house for the men of our church. It was great to have about 18 men come up and spend the day just fellowshipping and spending time in God's Word together. They made an outdoor stove and cooked some delicious traditional soup and I even made some stove-top popcorn for the first time. It was a great day of Fellowship.
As of this update we only have 2 children who need a sponsor. Sponsorship not only covers the cost of education, but also provides a meal each day and ministry programs for the children. If you or someone you know would like to sponsor a child at $40 per month, please let us know or go to our website at www.lovepala.com.
It is with great sadness we had to make a decision this month to evacuate the family from Nicaragua for a short time. Due to the increasing violence and instability of the political situation, our Board of Directors requested we leave Nicaragua to give the country time to stabilize. Though we did not want to leave and have never felt in direct danger, we are being obedient to those in authority over us and trusting in their wisdom. We immediately evacuated part of the family on June 13th to Wyoming and I followed on June 29th to Arkansas. I needed to stay in order to prepare PCA and our home for our absence. We hope to return to Palacaguina within the next few months. Thank you for those of you who have been praying for our safety during this time. We know God is going to use our time in the states for His glory. And I look forward to spending time meeting with many of you and our partners in Central Arkansas in the month of July. This all happened very quickly and we have so many mixed emotions we are processing through. We were able to leave the school in great hands and the school will continue to operate normally in our absence. This will be a great test of our continuity plan for the school and we feel the school will not have any issues for this short time of us not being there. Please continue to pray God will open doors for us to safely return to our beloved home, Palacaguina.
- Please pray for Nicaragua to have a peaceful resolution soon to the current situation.
- Please pray for God to use our time in the states for His glory.
- Please pray for a new 1-year volunteer to start in January to teach English in 2nd
- Please pray for God to move on our behalf regarding school transportation, land purchases, and business opportunities to help the future of PCA.
It is amazing to see what God can do through the willing hearts of His people. We are absolutely grateful for each of you who are praying for, giving to and telling others about all God is doing in Palacaguina. We would not be able to do all of this without you. 97 children, families, youth, other communities, and many more are being touched by the love and grace of God and it is all because of you. We are blessed to be a part of what God is doing and so grateful you are by our side through it all. We know God will finish all He has started.
Dios te bendiga de la familia Witonski!!! (God Bless you from the Witonski family)

Jagged and rusted shrapnel flew off the blade, as it continued to leave a slow moving cleavage between one side of the material that has been connected together at a cellular level since the 1974. The age was important in the forefront of my overly emotional sawman's mind because he always had a flair for classics, Cars, bikes, firearms, he believed firmly that cool shit stopped being made after the cold war, to a point, I could agree with him, but I could not buy into the fact that just because "Els" was made in a different generation that its any more or less of a tragedy that we were dismantling her with power tools. Truthfully, I didn't feel anything at the time and, when it comes to that job, I still don't, but I remembers the tears running slowly down my tech's cheeks and splashing onto the rusty ground creating tiny puddles of metallic waste. Even with enough steel wool and plastic wrap twisted around the saw, this was taking too long and was too loud, doing this kind of work inside a residential location while people are sleeping is literally the worst case scenario.
Let me qualify that, it's the worst out of 3 possible scenarios, the first obvious scenario is that the authorities will catch us dead to rights, red handed, by the short and curlies and we both take a long somber ride to the station, knowing that the last "slap on the wrist" of our lives happened when the handcuffs clicked on them. The previous scenario is unlikely only because based on the complexity of the situation, and the high profile nature of our employer, there's no way we'd make it to jail anyway unless its strapped to an ambulance gurney full of bullet holes. I have always been a fan of target shooting but do not like carrying that sort of machinery to such a job, because the ante is immediately upped, and though I Love making my heart race, the adrenaline makes it hard to hear and I need to keep my ear to the door to listen for movement. The real scene which I would like to avoid plays out in a way which ends in me still reaching in my pockets and finding broken cigarettes and lint, and I need money so bad that I had to color aspirins blue and sell them as "Percocet's" just to get the supplies to pull this off. But doesn't everyone, I would be willing to bet that no one in history has made so much money and still remained in chronic poverty, I've never held on to a Benjamin or 10 for longer than an hour. Used to save…. I think.
The saw is making a high pitched squealing sound that highlights the fact that its over heating, The loud "CLANG" that followed registered falsely in my mind in the train of thought "fuck the blade broke, we're toast" thank whatever God was on shift that I was wrong. That sound was this dirty little slut from '74, completing splitting down the side, church bells couldn't have sounded more pure or lovely, we were in.
"Switch me'" I tried to say without yelling
"deal" he said as he took the goggles and gloves off, removed a double action smith and Wesson from his waste aiming at the door.
This rockabilly tweaker rip-off's solution to everything is aiming tools at his demons, whether it be a gun at a door, a needle at his arm, or a steel wool wrapped reciprocating saw at a "1974 Elsafe Mark III". He was a tool from a different age, addicted to using tools from another age to dismantle tools from another age. Just as I cant stop putting another page on another page, that was the only thing we had in common, besides the obviously financial difficulties and drug enthusiasm.
"What was in the safe?" you might ask, and maybe one day I may show you, but for the sake of statutes of limitations Ill leave it simple and vague. Inside this Safe was Danger.

September 16th 2012
FIA European Finals was Your Reporter's fourth weekend in five at the
track. You might be forgiven for thinking that I was totally fed-up
with drag racing by then, but actually I went into the race relaxed and
looking forward to another four days of hard work.
what was the trick? What started the process for me was attending the
Run What You Brung, VW Action and Peak Performance Day the weekend
before the Finals. With our coverage commitment very light on this
weekend I could just please myself and what a leisurely weekend I had.
If I fancied taking pictures then I took pictures (although I'll come
back to that). If I fancied sitting and watching then I sat and
watched. If I fancied wandering around the pits or visiting the Café
for a twelve-inch hot dog then I wandered around the pits or visited
the Café. To be at the track without the pressure of live coverage was
a perfect tonic after the very busy weekends at Hockenheim and Tierp,
and not for the first time I fell in love with the sport all over
again. Saturday's RWYB gave way to the very enjoyable VW Action night
session which also featured the Supercharged Outlaws, a class I adore,
and the atmosphere that evening was excellent - I have said before and
will likely say again that for atmosphere you can't beat a VW event.
It's just one huge party, it's the law. Sunday's Peak Performance Day
was a more serious affair but still very enjoyable.
Speaking of
falling in love, I suspect that Kirstie has fallen head over heels with
my pride and joy, a Nikon D3100 camera acquired as part of a
sponsorship deal with Landmeco. As regular readers will recall,
Kirstie's camera failed at Hockenheim and our good friend Markus Munch
came to the rescue there. At Tierp I lent Kirstie my D3100 and she gave
it back only reluctantly after prducing pictures of such quality that
you would have thought that she had always been using the thing.
the meantime our US Correspondent Ed O'Connell, upon hearing of the
failure of Kirstie's camera at Hockenheim, parcelled up his spare Nikon
body and lenses and air-mailed them across the Atlantic to us - how
about that for friendship - but the gentlemen of HM Customs and Excise,
who obviously didn't know who we are, retained the parcel until a hefty
duty fee had been paid. In fact they took a very long time to bother
telling us that they had the parcel and to demand the money. With my
point-and-shoot camera out on loan Kirstie and I had one serious camera
between us at the pre-Finals test weekend. It was all handled in the
proper manner though, i.e. I did what Kirstie told me. We took turns
with the camera and the only debate was over who photographed the
Saturday night racing session; Kirstie won that particular battle of
wills and there was a sound like velcro separating as I surrendered the
camera to her that evening.
I had a day at home (although Mrs
Tog wondered aloud why I didn't just stay at the track after the test
weekend) and then drove back up to Santa Pod Raceway on the Tuesday,
arriving just as the kettle boiled in the Barn. A number of the SPRC
marshals were already there - in fact I don't think some of them had
gone home since the weekend - and they were cheerfully busying
themselves with various tasks from painting the start line area to
changing bulbs on the scoreboard, pitting racers who were turning up
very early, running the sweepers around the facility and so on.
Freshly-painted start line
am not a big believer in standing watching others work, a peculiarly
British phenomenon, but sometimes I think that the public should be
invited in to Santa Pod just before a big event to see all the work
which goes on, a lot of it by volunteers taking time off from their day
jobs. The office was similarly a hive of activity. I ran the webcam for
a few hours so that people could catch a glimpse of the work in
progress and I played some of Gilbert and Sullivan's finest as a
soundtrack. The latter inevitably generated some comment from the
philistines amongst our viewership.
One very early and equally welcome arrival was the advance guard of the
Andersen Racing Top Fuel Dragster team who have been much-missed this
year. It was nice to have the time to shoot the breeze with Karsten
Andersen; after a short while Rune Fjeld appeared and there was some
very enjoyable banter between the pair of them including a
superbly-worded cadge of a can of Danish beer by Rune. All of this was,
of course, taking place in glorious weather which helped the relaxed
The Andersen Racing Top Fuel Dragster team arrived at Santa Pod on the Tuesday of Finals week
With Kirstie on her day job on the Wednesday it was down to Your
Reporter to photograph the Pro Racer Test and Tune, so that was the day
upon which my photographic skills, such as they are, deserted me. I
don't photograph that often but you have days at the track when you get
the shot even if you're not looking at the camera when you point it,
but you also have days when you do everything correctly but the shots
just don't work. The Test and Tune started in Column B and there was a
lot of bad language. Cars and bikes were off-centre, I left it too late
so that they spilled out of frame etc. After lunch I moved from the
left lane to the right, because as the sun passes over the track the
light goes from one lane to the other, and the photography picked up
some from then on. It seems that I am a better photographer when
vehicles are going left to right than I am when they are going right to
left. These Test Days tend to be quite laid-back with some gaps between
vehicles so it was a leisurely affair, again in nice weather.

Ricky Forde and the Cyclones (1960 to early 1964)
Ricky Forde and the Cyclones were formed by five schoolmates in Bristol, UK in 1960. By 1962, the group had moved on from playing local gigs to nightly bookings around all of South West England. They then moved on to a residency gig in Hamburg. After their return from Hamburg in 1963, Roger Jones left the group and Julian quickly took over on drums. Vocalist Ricky Forde soon left the group and the remaining members continued on as a three-piece. The group then moved to London and in early 1964, Peter and Gordon asked Eddie, Julian, and Freddie to join them as their backing band.

Peter and Gordon's backing band (The Cyclones) (early 1964 to 1966)
After Ricky Forde and Roger Jones left The Cyclones, the remaining members joined Peter and Gordon as their backing band in early 1964. Julian Bailey and Freddie Allen toured with the backing band only in the UK and Europe. Due to cost, only Eddie King was invited to tour with the band in Japan. During the Japanese tours, the backing band consisted of Eddie and a group of Japanese musicians (most likely a group called The Spiders). Julian played in various bands around London and Bristol while Peter and Gordon were away playing overseas gigs (see The Rebels post below). Jimmie Nicol (who famously filled in for Ringo on a string of dates in the Summer of 1964) took over on drums for several shows during these years. In 1966, Eddie, Julian, and Freddie split from Peter and Gordon and changed their name to The Kytes.

Pete Budd and The Rebels (1965 to 1966)
While Eddie King was on tour with Peter and Gordon in Japan and Australia, Julian joined up with Bristol band Pete Budd and The Rebels. The band was originally formed in the late 1950s and its former members included singer Les Watts and drummer Ivor Newick. Guitarist/vocalist Pete Budd went on to record with Rainbow People in 1968 and later joined "scrumpy and western" band The Wurzels.

The Kytes (1966 to 1969)
After leaving Peter and Gordon in 1966, The Cyclones changed their name to The Kytes and added Dave Gillis on bass. The group recorded two singles that year: "Blessed" (a Simon and Garfunkel cover) and "Frosted Panes". A third would be recorded in 1968 with a different lineup.
During these years, Freddie, Julian and Eddie served as the house band for Studio Republic (later called Republic Studios) near London. The studio was owned by Eddie King himself, along with his cousin. The Kytes singles were recorded there, along with demos for Del Shannon, pre-Abbey Road Peter and Gordon demos, the single "I'll Get Over You" by Bristol group Lot 39, and Olivia Newton-John's first single (see "Songwriting / Sessions" entry below).

White Plains (Spring 1970 - mid 1970)
Julian was part of the first touring lineup of White Plains. Besides touring, this lineup also performed at the 1970 NME Poll Winners All-Star Concert on 3 May 1970 and appeared on the 14 May 1970 episode of Top of The Pops. Julian left the band once original drummer Roger Hills returned from a residency in Montreal in the Summer of 1970.

Crucible (1971)
In early 1971, Rick Wolff left White Plains to pursue a solo project, which involved other members of White Plains, along with Gordon Haskell (ex-Flower Pot Men, Fleur de Lys) and Martin Sack (ex-Martinets, Melody Fair). The recordings were shelved and an album was never released. At some point Rick's project was combined with that of fellow White Plains member, Robin Shaw, and was given the name Crucible. A combined total of sixteen tracks were recorded, but only four have ever been released.See full biography HERE

Songwriting / Sessions:
In 1966, a song written by Julian Bailey and his Kytes bandmate Freddie Allen was recorded and released as the B-side of Olivia Newton-John's first single. Eddie King was introduced to Olivia soon after she arrived in the UK and signed her to a one-record deal which was released on Decca Records. The tracks "Till You Say You'll Be Mine" and "For Ever" were recorded at Studio Republic under the production of Eddie King. The Kytes (Eddie King, Julian Bailey, and Freddie Allen), who served as the studio's house band, provided the backing tracks.

The Everlane Bomber jacket was an item I jumped on when it released a few months back. I had been looking for a bomber jacket that was lightly padded and slightly warmer for travelling to Japan in the late Autumn months. I've been looking at my Everlane reviews and all of them seem fairly positive as I only really keep things I love and return anything that isn't perfect or what I expected.
Sizing and Fit
A bomber jacket needs to fit perfectly as you only need one (or two depending on your colour choice). I got the Everlane's Bomber jacket in XXS and sized down once again (Everlane always runs large for me). I'm normally a size XS or an US size 0-2.
The bomber jacket is definitely quite puffy looking and is a world of a difference away from Grana's silk bomber. While the Silk Bomber is ideal for the summer and looks elegant and drapey, this one is more of a casual winter jacket. The length is very cropped (hitting the hip) but I'm quite petite and only 160 cm or 5'3. I like the puffiness of it especially when paired with slim jeans and or skirts/dresses. I wouldn't wear it with anything too baggy as it might start to look a bit frumpy.
One detail that makes this bomber more unique is the ruching on the sleeves. The sleeves are gathered on the sides which is simple and not loud at all but adds a little something different.
I would say that it's quite warm with the light padding but of course not comparable to any puffer jacket. The outer is made from Nylon which makes it very durable. While it's made of synthetic materials, I've found that most bomber jackets are like this so it's not an issue at all. The material is very durable feeling. In the past, I've had bombers that have a very delicate outside which could easily rip- but not this one!
They have a variety of colours including black, burgundy, pink and khaki. The pink was and is really tempting as it is just the prettiest shade ever. I thought the price of this jacket was pretty good at 80 USD. Thanks to you guys for referral credit, it came down even further.
In the photos, I wore it with the Everlane Cashmere Mockneck sweater and my Acne Studios South Jeans. The bag is an Alma bb in Amarante and the shoes are Adidas Stan Smiths.
I'll be putting this away fora few months with the summer coming around in Australia. But I'll definitely be reaching for it next Autumn/Winter.

While it's hard not to be distracted by COVID-19 these days, networking technologies remain an essential part of doing business—and network pros are looking ahead to trends that will shape (and future-proof) our world in the years to come.
Indeed, many of these tools have become even more critical as businesses support remote work forces and supply chains.
Consider the impact of 5G at this point in time: "5G's lightning-fast speeds, near-instantaneous communications, and increased connection density makes it primed for remote interactions, which has become top of mind for many organizations and enterprises as caution mounts over the spread of the virus," according to an article in Business Insider.
IDG's recently released 2020 State of the Network survey focuses on four of these key networking technologies: SD-WAN, 5G, edge computing and data centres. Some of the key findings, based on interviews with 268 IT pros, include:
- 71 per cent of organizations are actively researching or have SD-WAN in production
- 61 per cent of organizations are actively researching or have edge computing tools in production
- Technologies with the most interest include network security monitoring, server consolidation and WAN optimization
While the market for software-defined WANs had been ramping up pre-coronavirus, it doesn't appear to be slowing down. Indeed, the technology—which serves as a connector fabric between branch offices, data centres and cloud—is ideal for setting up remote work forces.
The survey found that 44 per cent of organizations are already using or piloting SD-WAN, while another 28 per cent have it on their radar. Benefits cited by respondents include better monitoring and management, increased resiliency and improved network security—all of which are big concerns during a pandemic.
SD-WANs can also provide a foundation for hybrid cloud and multi-cloud adoption—though currently that's happening more at an enterprise level than within small or mid-sized businesses, according to the survey results.
Indeed, "the increased use of containers and cloud-based applications that need access from the edge is also driving the use of SD-WAN technologies," according to an article in NetworkWorld.
But respondents also foresee barriers to adoption, such as capital costs and a technology learning curve. That's perhaps why more than half of organizations surveyed are already using or piloting WAN optimization (the predecessor to SD-WAN) as a way to replace MPLS sprawl.

Why SD-WAN is poised to take off in 2020
Other findings:
5G: Only eight per cent of organizations surveyed have 5G in production and another eight per cent are in the piloting stage. While these numbers are still low, 5G is expected to "set the stage for IoT and new high-bandwidth applications" and adoption will jump to 70 per cent over the next three years. Indeed, COVID-19 "may fast-forward 5G adoption and help support the economy during this period of disruption," according to the survey.
Edge computing: The survey found that network leaders are "prioritizing the use of edge computing to reduce network latency, lower operational expenses, and real-time data processing." But they're still concerned about enterprise security since not all IoT devices are built with security in mind.
Data centres: Of those surveyed, 59 per cent say their data centre is undergoing an upgrade to support newer technologies (in part, this is because they've experienced outages over the past year).
Concerns that massive spikes in usage during shelter-in-place would "break the Internet" highlights the essential nature of networking technologies. People are understandably distracted, priorities are understandably shifting.
But advanced networking technologies and digital transformation initiatives can help businesses get through this and come out stronger on the other side.
