When you're ready to sell your car in Franklin or Wake county, you have many choices: take it to a local dealership, try to sell it yourself, or use a car buying service like Cash.Car.
While selling your used car to a car dealership looks like the easiest and most convenient option, it is often the one that rips you off the most. In addition, trying to sell your car yourself through online ads can lead you down a confusing, frustrating path that takes up a ton of your time and causes you extra unnecessary stress.
Selling your car to Cash.Car is the best option possible. You get more for your vehicle, since we aren't worried about reselling yours and making a profit off or you, and the process is quick and easy. Fill out our easy online form or call (919) 810-9983 to get a quote today!
Why Sell Your Car to Cash.Car vs. Car Dealerships
Unless a dealership is willing pay cash to purchase your Wake Forest, Raleigh, Henderson, Durham, and Chapel Hill trade-in without you purchasing a new vehicle, you will not be getting the best deal possible on the purchase of a new car.
To make sure you are getting the most money for your car, you must be able to separate the new purchase from the old purchase. If the dealership is not willing to pay you cash for your trade, ask them why not? They offered you that on trade-in, so what is the difference?
Dealerships don't want you to know you are paying too much for your new car. They make so much money on new car purchases that they do not care what they give for your trade-in. That is why we ask you to separate your trade-in from your new car purchase.
At Cash.Car of Wake Forest, NC, We don't worry about making a profit off of your new car purchase. We focus only on giving you top dollar for your current car. Even though you will have to look for a new car elsewhere after working with Cash.Car, you will be getting the most for your car, and you will have more money to put down on a new car.
Why Sell Your Car to Cash.Car vs. CarMax
While Cash.Car and CarMax offer similar services, there are two things that set Cash.Car apart:
1. Cash.Car will come to you.
Wherever and whenever is convenient for you, one of our specialist will be there. We understand you're busy and don't expect you to come to our location. While most of our customers are located in Franklin or Wake county, we can travel anywhere for you.
Relax, and let Cash.Car help you save time and money.
2. Cash.Car will pay more for your car.
CarMax is focused on reselling cars on their lot. The cars that they don't want to sell at their locations are the ones Cash.Car will almost always beat their cash offer on.
We encourage you to get cash offers from as many people as possible and compare them. Look at the CarMax website, and if you don't see cars that match yours, chances are Cash.Car will pay you more.
Selling Your Car to Cash.Car vs. Selling It Yourself
Selling a car yourself is a huge hassle, to say the least. Let a professional appraiser at Cash.Car take that burden off your shoulders. There is no need to deal with posting your car on Craigslist or Facebook to find local Wake Forest area buyers, waiting for a good offer to come in or dealing with all the stress that comes along with the process.
Here are some things to consider before you choose to sell your car, truck or SUV yourself:
1. You will need to have your title in your hand. Most buyers will only buy if you have the title.
2. It may take weeks or months to sell your car, and until you sell it, you won't have the extra money as a down payment on another car. Having that money as a down payment on the new one will allow you to get a better deal with most lenders.
3. You are going to have to spend a lot of time trying to sell your car. It takes time to post your ad across the internet, answer phones calls, reply to texts, setup appointments, and meet prospective buyers.
4. It is often a huge hassle getting paid, especially if they finance the car. This is especially important, because there is a lot of fraud that occurs in these types of transactions.
5. People will want to test drive the car they are buying. Does your insurance cover this? Do you have to ride with them?
6. Safety is a big concern if you plan on meeting a stranger to see the vehicle and potentially exchange a large amount of money.
7. Warranty: What happens if the car breaks down right after you sell it? The buyers may try and come after you in court, even though they will not have much of a case. This is stressful and potentially expensive, if you need representation.
8. Your local Wake or Franklin county DMV needs paperwork to be complete upon purchase, so that you know the car is no longer titled in your name. What is your plan to ensure this happens?
Cash.Car will come to you, make you the best offer and you can go on with your day and have more money to put down on a new vehicle. Get started selling your car now!

We want you to have the best experience selling your used car, truck or SUV in Wake or Franklin county and to get the best offer. Talk to our professional appraisers by calling (919) 810-9983 or fill out our easy online form today!
Once we get in touch, we'll set up the most convenient time and place to meet you to inspect your vehicle, pick it up and give you a check cashable that day. It's that easy! We are confident that we can get you a better offer than other dealerships or by selling it yourself.

We always recommend using Cash.car as a resource to get the most cash for your trade. If that means you use our offer to get someone else to pay more: that is OK. If that means you use our offer to get more from the other car dealer: that is ok too. We are here to help you.


text: The National Optics Institute (INO), a photonics company, has obtained technology from airborne sensors developer ING Robotic Aviation to create an advanced imaging sensor for scientific research. INO purchased ING's Responder rotary wing robotic aircraft system, which includes the aircraft as well as a ground control system and ancillary equipment, to integrate a hyperspectral camera into its platform. Once the device has been integrated, the aircraft system will be transferred to the Institut National de la Recherche Scientifique, part of the Université du Quebec network, for scientific research applications. Unique to Canada, this airborne imaging system will support lake and river water quality control, help coastal zone management, ease snow and ice cover monitoring, and allow precision agriculture studies. It will provide valuable scientific data and help to design the next generation of Earth observation satellites as well. The stabilized payload platform has been specially designed for heavy lifting, allowing the aircraft system to hold up to 11 kg of sensor weight. This highlights the system's flexibility, and its efficient performance in adverse weather conditions. "[The] equipment will be used to get the right information into the right hands, at the right time," said Ian Glenn, CEO and chief technology officer of ING Robotic Aviation. The system will be ready this spring. For more information, visit: www.ino.ca/en

Citi® Diamond Preferred® Card Review
When shopping for a credit card, you typically have a choice between an expensive rewards card with many features and benefits, or a basic card with low rates and fees, no rewards, and few perks. But there are times when you want the low rates and fees, as well as the benefits included with a premium rewards card. The Citi® Diamond Preferred® Card from Citi, a Credit Cards Explained advertiser, is the rare card that offers competitive rates and fees, but with a wide range of premium cardholder benefits.
How This Card Works
This card offers new applicants 21 months of interest free financing on balance transfers and 12 months interest free on purchases. There is a balance transfer fee of either $5 or 5% of the amount of each transfer, whichever is greater. After this promotional financing period expires, the standard interest rate will apply to your new purchases and remaining balance, which is currently 14.99% - 24.99%* (Variable), depending on your credit worthiness when you applied.
This card also offers numerous travel insurance and purchase protection benefits. When traveling, you are covered by worldwide rental car insurance which does not exclude rentals in any country. Cardholders are also protected by a trip cancellation and trip interruption policy that can reimburse you for non-refundable trip expenses when you experience travel problems. Other travel benefits include a 24/7 travel and emergency assistance hotline and worldwide travel accident insurance.
When shopping, your purchases are protected by an extended warranty policy that adds an additional year to the manufacturer's warranty on eligible purchases. You also receive a damage and theft protection policy that covers you for repairs or refunds of your purchases that are stolen or damaged within 120 days of purchase (90 days for New York residents). Citi's Price Rewind service is also available to offer automatic refunds if what you buy experiences a price drop within 60 days of purchase. You just have to register your purchases to be eligible.
Other benefits include Citi Concierge, a personalized service that is available 24/7 to assist with travel, shopping, dining, and entertainment advice and purchases. The Citi Private Pass program also offers special access to purchase tickets to thousands of events annually, including presale tickets and VIP packages to concerts, sporting events, dining experiences, and complimentary movie screenings. There is no annual fee for this card, but there is a 3% foreign transaction fee imposed on all charges processed outside of the United States.
Even without any of its perks or benefits, this card would be remarkable for its offer of 21 months interest free on balance transfers, which is the longest such offer from any major card issuer. If you have an existing balance that you are working on paying off, a promotional financing offer of this length is extremely valuable.
For no annual fee, Citi is able to offer cardholders many of the same travel insurance and purchase protection policies it offers on its premium travel reward cards that often have annual fees of $100 or more. In particular, its extended warranty coverage and damage and theft protection policies are very valuable, and travelers can benefit from trip cancellation and interruption protection when things go wrong on the road.
While this card doesn't offer any rewards for spending, that's not what it was designed to do. However, this card does fall somewhat short by having a 3% foreign transaction fee, even though features like worldwide rental car insurance and travel emergency assistance would otherwise lend itself to use by international travelers. A potential alternative is the Citi's Simplicity® Card, which offers 21 months of interest-free financing on balance transfers. Unlike the Diamond Card, the Simplicity® Card has no late fees or penalty interest rates. The Citi® Diamond Preferred® has both a penalty APR (29.99%) and a late fee of up to $35. But for those who always make their monthly payments on-time, these fees won't ever apply.
Bottom Line
The Citi® Diamond Preferred® Card is a rare card that appeals to those looking for a fantastic promotional financing offer without having to forgo the perks and benefits of a premium rewards card. Those who need help financing their purchases should not be looking to earn points, miles or cash back, but it's always nice to have travel insurance and purchase protection benefits, especially with a card with no annual fee.

CUSTOM CONTENT: What to Consider When Creating a Sustainable Growth Plan for Your Construction Company
Tuesday, July 31, 2018
It's important for owners both to initially consider and then continue assessing their company's ideal size as the business environment changes.
While some growth can be anticipated, bringing with it additional profitability and success, unexpected growth can at times be challenging. If owners aren't prepared to handle this type of growth, it could end up costing their business money.
There are many ways to quantify the size of a business, and in the construction industry, gross revenue is often used to measure size. Using this metric, this article discusses ways to help owners prepare a more sustainable growth plan and deal with the unexpected.
There are major costs and other challenges to consider when planning to grow a business. The following questions can help guide the decision-making process.
Is there enough business or work in the local or regional area to support desired revenue growth?
Consider upcoming projects and where they may be located. If they're outside the local area, consider these additional costs:
• Travel and lodging
• Additional compensation
• Vehicle usage and fuel
• Temporary workforce
Should a new location be opened?
There are advantages to establishing an office in a new location, such as:
• Providing a local space for employees, customers, vendors, and subcontractors to meet
• Enhancing company visibility
The costs of additional office space and overhead can be a significant burden, however, especially when starting a new location. Specific costs could include the following:
• Rent and utilities
• Maintenance
• Computers and IT support
• Under utilization of local workforce—especially before the location has a full workload
To quickly quantify the volume of work needed to offset the additional overhead burden, divide the total amount of additional cost by the company's gross margin.
For example, a new office location may cost $500,000 per year to operate while a conservative estimate of the gross margin generated from contracts in the area is 15%. By dividing total cost by gross margin, it's determined that approximately $3.3 million in revenue would need to be generated to offset the cost of the new location.
What level of profitability can the business sustain?
If growth requires taking on larger contracts, a company will need to assess its ability to properly manage and oversee them. Larger contracts can each have a more significant impact to a company's profitability and cash flow than smaller jobs management may be more familiar with. It's also important to consider the increased risk of being able to complete contracts efficiently while working in a new location with additional customers and a new workforce.

Pete Caldera and Bob Klapisch share their thoughts on the Yankees' comeback.
CLEVELAND – Awash in champagne, the Yankees celebrated their fourth elimination-game victory this October – a party that didn't seem likely to occur just last Friday.
After completing a 5-2 Game 5 win against the favored Indians, coming all the way back from down 0-2 in the AL Division Series, here's what they had to say in the champagne-soaked clubhouse and in the interview room:
Didi Gregorius
On the Yankees as underdogs:
"Nobody expected us to do anything but we knew we had a good team. We made some key trades that helped us also, and it's been amazing. We're a group of guys who never give up and it showed right here. Down 0-2 and we came back, that's the way we play.''
On Joe Girardi, whose non-challenge in Game 2 contributed to the 0-2 deficit:
"He admitted (his mistake)…He told us, 'Hey, let's play one game at a time right now, and that's all we can control. Whatever happened in the past happened in the past. We, as a team, we always have each other's back.''
David Robertson
On this team compared to the 2009 world champs, for which he played:
"The '09 team, we were very confident in spring training. I felt like we knew we were going to win. This team, there's a lot of guys who are realizing that they can win, that they're that good.''
On Brett Gardner's 12-pitch at-bat in the ninth, which led to a single – scoring two runs – off Cody Allen:
"(I was) In the training room on a chair, afraid to get up. That was amazing…he just grinded the whole at-bat and finally got a pitch he could handle and put the barrel on it. Those two runs made all the difference in the game.''
Aaron Judge
On Gardner's classic at-bat:
"I knew he was going to do something special, watching the way he was fighting off all those tough pitches, taking the borderline ones. (There's) no better guy to be in that position…it was incredible. That won us the ball game right there.''
On his 1-for-20 in the ALDS with a postseason single-series record 16 Ks:
"Every day's a new day, that's the beauty of baseball. Just regroup, get ready for Houston.''
Brett Gardner
On Gregorius' second home run off ace Corey Kluber:
Though it was long gone, "I told him I went back and tagged because I figured there was no way he could take him out twice in the same game. (He's) just a really good hitter and for me, one of the best shortstops in the game. Can't say enough about him.''
On CC Sabathia:
"(There's) nobody I'd rather play on defense behind in a must-win game.''
On Judge, batting behind him in the order:
"He's the MVP in the league in my opinion. Any time he's on deck, he's a force to be reckoned with. Whether he's struggling or whether he's going well, I feel good about him every time he steps up to the plate.''
Aroldis Chapman
On closing out the Indians after celebrating a world championship in the same clubhouse with the Cubs a year ago, earning the Game 7 World Series win, overcoming a game-tying homer, via interpreter:
"I was not thinking about last year at all, I was focused on the job at hand which was to get the outs and get the save tonight. That's all.''
GM Brian Cashman
On his club's comeback from down 0-2:
"They had a steep slope to climb. And to come back against this particular team…it's a pretty impossible task but they were up to it.''
On the Cleveland Indians:
"That's a special team run by a special group of people, their front office, their manager and their coaching staff…as perfect a run an organization as you can have, something that all of us are trying to emulate, how they go about their business both on and off the field.
"It seems like every move makes sense and it's a stroke of genius. This was an extremely well put together team – I would call this a super team, actually (but) that's why you play the games out. Because I produced 100-win teams that got knocked out of the first round, too many times.''
Todd Frazier
On Joe Girardi:
"This one's for Joe. He got a lot of criticism after that second game. We talked a lot, me and him, and I couldn't be happier for him. A lot of criticism went his way. Shouldn't have. And we came together as a team for him.''
Joe Girardi
On the team meeting before Game 3:
"(Let's) continue to have each other's back and let's win one game. And Todd Frazier was the first guy that said something – "let's go'' – and that did stick out in my mind. I'll never forget that. Because, again, I was about as low as I could be as a baseball (manager).''

ALDS: After victory, Yankees say: 'This one's for Joe'
Yankees: After coming all the way back in ALDS, will play Houston for the pennant
On the days since Game 2 loss:
"I've been carrying this burden for five or six days. It's hard. If we lose on Sunday, it really hurts. If we lose on Monday, it really, really hurts. If we would have lost today, it probably would have hurt even worse. What those guys did for me, I'll never forget it.''
Terry Francona
On Kluber's night:
"I just thought quickly, his stuff is starting to trend down. Even the last inning, he got a strikeout on a hanging breaking ball. Just wasn't the normal, crisp (repertoire), especially the movement. A lot of pitches were flat.''

NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#15thAnniversary–The NY Kids Club, New York's industry-leading children's
enrichment center founded in September 2001 celebrates 15 years of
imagination and innovation in the form of classes, camps, birthday
celebrations and special events this month.
After the birth of her fourth child, NY Kids Club founder Pam Wolf was
looking for a way to pair her entrepreneurial background with
parenthood. In 2001, a spark was lit.
"One day, in between music class with my daughter on one side of town
headed to an art class on the other, I thought, 'Wouldn't it be amazing
if these classes could be housed under the same roof?'" says Wolf. "The
NY Kids Club was born."
Now operating from over a dozen locations throughout New York City and
China, the club continues to provide young children with physically
challenging, artistically enriching and intellectually stimulating
programs—with a 5 star hotel level cleanliness and hospitality.
The principles behind the club have a universal appeal to children and
adults alike. In 2013, NYKC was named as one of the fastest-growing
private companies in the country by Inc. 5000.
NYKC offers classes in gymnastics, music, dance, theatre, art, science,
chess, Spanish and a number of sports and fitness programs.
"There is no effort too great when it comes to building efficacy and
encouraging self-expression in children," says Wolf. "This is our chance
to provide children with a strong, well-rounded foundation that will
encourage a lifelong love of learning."
The club's earliest students are now college-aged, and to the great
pride of their parents, are attending some of the country's top
With plans to add four more locations in the next year, the NY Kids Club
will expand to Chicago in 2017 and Washington DC in 2018. If the last 15
years are any indication, Wolf's business model is sure to be embraced.
About: NY Kids Club & NY Preschool is offered at 15 locations
around New York City. For more information, please call 347-706-4700 or

Clyde Hamstreet, a Portland consultant known for rescuing troubled companies, will oversee and restructure Cover Oregon for the next month.
(Randy L. Rasmussen/The Oregonian)
Cover Oregon late last week severed one of its contracts with technology consultant Deloitte, the first of what could be a series of cost-cutting moves as the troubled operation enters a new era of fiscal austerity.
Clyde Hamstreet, the consultant recently hired to take over executive director duties at Cover Oregon, said Deloitte has already accomplished its primary goal under the contract: advising the state how to proceed to finally deliver a fully functional health insurance exchange.
"It was our conclusion we didn't need any more work from Deloitte," Hamstreet said. The move should save Cover Oregon about $2 million.
Hamstreet has been on the job just three days. The prominent Portland corporate turnaround consultant was Gov. Kitzhaber's surprise choice to take the helm at Cover Oregon.
He admits to knowing little about information technology and he's spent very little time working for public-sector clients. But he does know how to read a balance sheet. Among his first priorities is getting a good handle on Cover Oregon's cash flow: It's revenue coming in and flowing out, what it is contractually obligated to pay and when.
Cover Oregon's top priority, of course, is deciding whether to stick with its current exchange technology in hopes it can salvage it, or whether to go with the federal exchange. Moving to the federal exchange would be cheaper and faster. But it would also present complications for insurance carriers who have customized their portals to the existing Oregon health exchange technology.
"It's not a simple, slam-dunk analysis," Hamstreet said. "I don't want to throw something away that has value."
He pointed out that some aspects of Oregon's technology are already being used to process applications. As of Thursday, 217,413 Oregonians have signed up for health insurance coverage through Cover Oregon.
Deloitte has been working on Oregon's exchange for months. It designed the user-interface on the exchange's website. To date, it's been paid $7.65 million for that work.
This winter, Cover Oregon again turned to Deloitte for advice on how to move forward. After an acrimonious split with Oracle Corp., the exchange's first lead technology contractor, Cover Oregon needed advice on how to proceed. It asked the firm to produce an analysis of the various technological options and the pros and cons of each.
Deloitte got paid $2.9 million for its work on that contract between February and April 4. Cover Oregon then extended the contract through April, agreeing to pay Deloitte another $2.7 million.
It suspended the contract on April 11, which Cover Oregon officials figure should save the organization about $2 million.
Deloitte was tight-lipped about the suspension. "Deloitte fulfilled its contractual responsibilities to Cover Oregon and completed its assessment of the state's health insurance marketplace," said company spokesman Paul Dunker.
Ending Deloitte's assessment contract raises intriguing questions about Cover Oregon's future plans. If Cover Oregon feels it has already heard enough from Deloitte about its options going forward, then why doesn't it act? After all, time is perilously short if Cover Oregon is to meet its new stated goal of having a functional exchange by next November's open-enrollment period.
The Cover Oregon board of directors said at their meeting last week they hope to make a final decision on the path forward by April 30.
The contract suspension also raises doubts about Deloitte's future role with Cover Oregon. Deloitte is one of the few firms with the IT chops to replace Oracle. It played a lead role in developing the exchanges in Washington, Kentucky, Connecticut and Rhode Island, which Deloitte says have become "national models" of simple, effective technology.
Oregon and three other states that have also encountered difficulties with their exchanges have more recently turned to Deloitte for help.
Cover Oregon officials said ending the contract earlier than expected was largely a matter of controlling costs and shouldn't be taken as a reflection on Deloitte's performance.
Oregon has spent $200 million on its exchange. It is the last insurance exchange developed under the Affordable Care Act in the nation unable to process insurance applications from individual consumers.
As a result, Cover Oregon also has a major credibility issue, he said. After the many IT failures and huge spending and broken promises, "People don't have confidence they can believe the company," he said.
Virtually all of the money spent to date on the exchange has come from federal grants. Cover Oregon still has some grant money at its disposal. But Hamstreet is looking at various means to cut costs. He said his predecessor, Bruce Goldberg, had directed Cover Oregon staff to cut their spending by 20 percent.
Cover Oregon signed Hamstreet to a contract that pays his firm a maximum of $100,000. His stint at the organization is likely to last four to six weeks.

How strange is it that the world's greatest democracy doesn't elect its leader by popular vote?
Bizarre but true nonetheless. The American people don't decide who their leader is, the Electoral College does. And this is not a purely intellectual matter. Four times since the birth of our country, the candidate with the most popular votes was not "elected" president, the most recent example occurring in 2000.
It's an absurdity in this day and age.
In recent years, there has been much talk of scrapping the Electoral College and many of us have come to view it as antediluvian.
On April 2, Maryland's House of Delegates passed the National Popular Vote initiative by a vote of 85 to 54. The State Senate had previously passed the same legislation by a vote of 29 to 17. The bill moves next to Gov. Martin O'Malley who has indicated that he will sign it.
The senates in Colorado and Hawaii have reportedly passed the bill as has the Arkansas House. The California Assembly and Senate passed the plan last year but it was vetoed by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenneger.
Under the terms of the bill, all of Maryland's electors would vote for the presidential candidate that garners the most popular votes. The terms of the National Popular
Vote only take effect when it is enacted by enough states to create a 270-vote majority in the Electoral College.
According to National Popular Vote, www.nationalpopularvote.com, the bill already has 284 sponsors in 47 states for 2007 state legislative sessions. FairVote, www.fairvote.org, is another group supporting the initiative.
In Connecticut, a number of proposed bills have surfaced. State Rep. Tom Drew of Fairfield (D-132), a member of the Government Administration and Elections Committee, introduced one such bill.
"The current Electoral College system doesn't serve us any longer," said Drew. "It's an old idea whose utility has past and, frankly, it creates a distorted election." Drew said he'd much rather see a vigorous debate on the issues in front of the whole country than a campaign blitz on a few key districts.
Indeed, one of the benefits of the plan would be to force candidates to campaign nationwide and not focus on battleground states. It makes sense, all states are purple after all, not red or blue, and most of us are sick to death of partisan politics.
Critics of the plan point to the potential chaos of a national recount. However, it's hard to imagine much more chaos than we experienced in the wake of the 2000 presidential election.
Drew told the Westport News that he would prefer to see the Electoral College abolished by an amendment to the Constitution. That could prove difficult, however, because three-quarters of the states would have to ratify the amendment and it is widely thought that less populous states won't be inclined to ratify it because they benefit from the way the electors in the Electoral College are apportioned. In effect, they get greater representation in the Electoral College than they would in a popular vote.
"I like the idea of having both initiatives, which are related, go forth simultaneously, said Drew. "It's entirely legitimate to pursue through both channels."
We agree with Drew. A Constitutional amendment would be preferable to bypassing the U.S. Constitution by state compact, even if the compact could make it by the U.S. Supreme Court. However, there is nothing wrong with pursuing both initiatives simultaneously.

I'm writing a function that takes a file, reads the file into a buffer while keeping count of the lines, then takes each line and plugs the content into a simple structure. I did it that way because the number of lines is variable and will determine, obviously, the number of structs needed. So I get the number of lines (nofl) and in the middle of the function do this:
struct thestruct new[nofl];
I was getting a segfault, so to make sure nofl was correct, i inserted the following line RIGHT BEFORE the last one:
printf("--%d--\n", nofl);
AND NOW NO SEGFAULT!!! Nothing else is changed, but adding and subtracting that one line makes all the difference. Really, really, really. More observations:
1) Up until now I've been declaring variables (inc. structs) at the beginning of a function, but I've never heard tell that it must be so. Does this have anything to do with it?
2) The segfault actually occurs later when new[1] (ie. the 2nd struct in the array) is called on (it turns out not to exist).
3) "nofl" is determined on the line immediately preceeding the printf statement.
4) if I put the printf statement after the struct declaration, the segfault returns.

When should I be able to go back to work after getting breast reduction?
Patients should be able to go back to work after breast reduction after a few days. Breast reduction is usually not as painful or debilitating a procedure as breast augmentation which may require a longer time out of surgery especially, when the implant is placed under the muscle.

You've logged on. You read an engaging article or watch a fantastic video- you scroll down to offer your well-considered view, and expect to find other people offering their analyses. Instead, you find a list of comments that aren't about the article or video at all. Instead, the author is being told they're not the right age/ ethnicity/ gender/ sexuality/ religion, other commenters are being threatened or bullied or harassed. Indeed, instead of finding comments about what you've just read, there is another debate raging- about race or gender, sexuality, whether God exists, Islam, Richard Dawkins, aliens, Nostradamus, the illuminati- and how the author/ director and all other commenters are on the wrong side of all of them.
Unfortunately, there's no agreed definition of trolling, but like art, you know it when you see it. The troll's comments or behaviours may be subtle, and are often more nuanced than the caricature I've drawn above. Indeed, even a somewhat snide remark or a faintly sarcastic response may be characterised as trolling. And although these examples might be instructive for this discussion, it's not really what I'm concerned with. I'm more concerned with some possible reasons why trolling occurs and what can be done about it.
Research shows that trolls are mainly young adult males; mainly, they see trolling as form of quick and simple amusement. We can all see how someone could get a cheap thrill from anonymously annoying someone else, calling them a name, or childishly mocking their debate. But putting aside the jokey-element to trolling for the moment:
A troll could be anyone, not necessarily a young adult male- anyone who feels that anonymity offers them protection from censure. Anonymity is a problem unto itself, offering protection for criminals and criminal behaviours, but here I'd like to consider how it allows us to reconstitute our personalities in the form of simplistic avatars or user profiles. By allowing us to be anonymous, choose who we want to be- we are notionally allowed to strip away our contingent being- our ethnicity, sexuality and gender, for example- and project ourselves how we want to be- a value-free identity- a user of pure opinion and intellect.
How we behave online is a kind of personal-wish-fulfilment; making ourselves look the way we want, or saying what society deems to be inappropriate or wrong. People abuse sometimes because they wish they could be racist or sexist in public and are simply trying to get away with it. There's a paradox therefore when it comes to who the troll is and what the troll does- the troll is stripped of contingent identities and concerns themselves solely with contingent identities- making racist jokes, sexist threats, or hating someone for being gay, for example.
This creates a divide between the user and their actions. The internet becomes a value-free space for comment; different from real world perception. In the real-world, some people would never dream of being offensive, if only for fear of reprisal, but their offensive behaviours are accommodated by the perception of the internet as a value-free space; it's not as though the internet forum makes the real-world context available. This means the troll literally feels no responsibility for their actions; being distinct from their body or their contingent being in anyway, the troll doesn't see the real-world consequences and real-world connection between who they are and what they say. I must here reiterate that I'm not discussing the jokier, more sarcastic forms of trolling- I'm discussing the ways in which a troll interacts with the world when they are afforded anonymity.
This has some serious consequences for our understanding of the internet- and to remember at all times, that the troll is exploiting a gap between our perception of who we're interacting with and who we're actually interacting with- the assumption that the same kinds of social identity and social bonds exist online is simply not true.
The problem here may be that in providing everyone with a value-free identity, the underlying assumption may be that everyone will play by the rules- but the real problem is that people who are forming relationships in debate with others may be subject to abuse or criticism from those they consider their equal or better. Indeed, when children are bullied in real life, when they know who the bully is, it's difficult to deal with- imagine what it's like being incredibly young, and bullied anonymously- your perception of safety and how the world perceives you would be totally shattered. Which is why we sometimes hear about stories such as Megan Meier's- a 13 year old girl who committed suicide after being bullied online by a neighbour.
The solution to trolling may therefore lie in reconnecting the real-world to the value-free area of the internet. An outright ban on a person may be tempting, but first I would suggest engaging with the troll, just as you might do with someone in real life, against your intuition. If a person was deeply upset and spouting abuse on public transport against an obvious minority figure, there might be an urge to say nothing. But in these situations, courageous people have tended to do two things: protect and reassure the person being abused, and engage the abuser- not aggressively, but just to calm them down and remind them that they are being inappropriate. Perhaps a similar set of tactics could be applied to trolling- reassuring victims, encouraging trolls to be less troll-like.
There may even be a need to educate young people not only how to behave online but how to be emotionally robust when using the internet. Indeed, maybe there's a need for a kind of internet-citizenship programme to be taught in schools.
So given these problems, how can trolling ever be considered positive? The same way a fascist protest can considered positive; not for voicing concerns which we must take seriously, but for highlighting a set of problems which we may be forced to reconsider. A fascist protest may highlight poverty in a specific region or a lack of commitment from civil society in that region; and indeed, the presence of trolls might show us that we need to rethink the way we interact with the internet. We take for granted our social profiles and social anonymity, but barring intrusions from the NSA, it might be time to address and engage with trolls in the way we engage with right-wing groups.
The inverse problem may be true; if the troll exhibits naturally negative viewpoints, then there is such a thing as excessive positivity on the internet- most likely in the form of positive-and-inspiring messages you read online. These we know to be insipid- despite the positive message, we know life isn't "all great", or whatever; these messages help us become more sharp and critical in our viewpoints. Conversely, the troll may help us become more caring for our online peers- trolls included- and watching out for negative behaviours, and not tolerating abuse of anyone, anywhere.

"Jello Academy Kindergarten continuously enrolls children at the age of 3 to 5 years old. Please visit the Admission section for more information or call the Hotline or Chat with us on Facebook to register to visit the school."
Letter from Principal
It's my pleasure to welcome you and your children to Jello Academy Kindergarten. It is an important role for us to educate the future generation for knowledge and their social emotional health. We especially focus on science and technology.
Jello Academy motto is, "Our future generation can change the world." Therefore, our goal is to provide an educational environment with international standards for children so that they grow up healthy by promoting their personal ability with confidence, enhancing communication and teamwork skills, and other necessary skills for their daily life.
Our philosophy comes from the "multiple-intelligence" theory developed by Dr. Howard Gardner, Harvard Psychology Professor. According to this perspective, every person has different kinds of intelligence. While someone is good at math & logic (numeric intelligence), someone else is good at speaking and writing (linguistic intelligence). Therefore, it's necessary to respect the differences of each individual.
Our Jello STEM+Arts driven curriculum provides exciting learning experiences for children, bring joy to each lesson, helping them to develop knowledge, creativity, and a passion for learning, especially for science.

Fiat-Chrysler just joined two other automakers who are taking the threat of car hacking seriously, with its announcement on Wednesday of a new bug bounty program.
The move by the Italian-U.S. auto manufacturer comes a year after two prominent security researchers figured out how to remotely connect to a Jeep Grand Cherokee — messing with the air conditioning, windshield wipers, and radio — before they killed the engine and ran it into a ditch.
Fiat-Chrysler eventually fixed the flaw through a recall and software patch, according to the Wall Street Journal.
"There are a lot of people that like to tinker with their vehicles or tinker with IT systems," said Titus Melnyk, senior manager of security architecture for Fiat-Chrysler, in a statement. "We want to encourage independent security researchers to reach out to us and share what they've found so that we can fix potential vulnerabilities before they're an issue for our consumers."
If hackers find a legitimate security flaw and disclose it to the company through the BugCrowd platform, they could receive anywhere from $150 to $1,500, depending on the type of issue. General Motors also has a similar program, though it doesn't pay cash rewards, while Tesla has had great success in protecting its cars, app, and website with rewards for security exploits paying out up to $10,000.
Interestingly, the bug bounty announcement comes just a month after Tech Insider reached out to Fiat-Chrysler and many other major automakers about what they were doing to mitigate the threat of cars being hacked. Though we asked specific questions on whether the companies had processes in place for testing cybersecurity flaws, the company did not address those concerns directly.
"Consumer safety and security is our highest priority. To our knowledge, there has not been a single real world incident of an unlawful or unauthorized remote hack into any FCA vehicle," a company spokesperson told Tech Insider (though it's worth noting that the Jeep hack wasn't "unlawful or unauthorized," but it was still worrisome, to say the least).
"New technologies have led to major advances in consumer safety. Cyber risks will continue to evolve as connected car technology advances. To realize the promise of the connected car, we must address the inherent risks associated with those technologies. We are committed to improving from past experiences and working with the industry and with suppliers to develop best practices to address these risks," the spokesperson said.
The idea of automotive hacking has received more attention in recent years as manufacturers add new technologies and make their cars smarter and connected, with such things as Apple CarPlay and onboard wireless networks. But the underlying technology of cars is surprisingly low-tech.
"Taking over cars is trivial. People think that the technology in cars is highly sophisticated," David Kennedy, the CEO of TrustedSec, told Tech Insider in June. "But [Controller Area Network Bus] has been around since, the 1980's or 70's. And so, it's a very basic protocol and understanding it doesn't take a lot of effort."

Wednesday night league is designed for mates to get together and have a kick around. There has been an increase of players being brought in to assist with numbers and those players in some cases are NOT Wednesday League standard (as in they are too good).
Effective immediately, ALL Wednesday night teams must have an official team list that is your regular line up. The only time substitute players can be added for a game is if your team can only field the 5 players from your regular line up. You may add one substitue to give you one sub. That player must be approved prior to the game by Futsal Arena management (Ross). Any player who is a Monday night player and not a regular Wednesday night player CANNOT be used on Wednesday nights. Also, if you bring in a player and they are too good for Wednesday nights, the game will be a forfeit and the offending team will lose 5-0.
Please understand, Wednesday night is more difficult to monitor than Monday, because you can get anyone to play Monday nights being the top league. For the integrity of the competition on a Wednesday night, these regulations must be put in place.
On that note, HU will be moving up to Monday night league as I have rated them a Monday league standard. Unfortunately, there will be a bye in both nights now as I offered a Wednesday night spot to SWAG but they are unable to play Wednesday nights.
Please check the new schedule before you play again.
Due to the bye in each night and the odd number of games each team will be playing, the ladder will be based on win %, not points. If your team is above another team on the ladder by points but they have a better win %, the team with a better win % will be higher on the standings.
UNIFORM RULES: Every team has had more than enough time to organise matching shirts WITH numbers. As from 2nd March, any player without a matching top with a proper number (not tape) on the jersey will be penalised one goal per infraction. Also, the no shin guard rule will also apply from 2nd March.
Enjoy the remainder of the season and good luck

I've long suspected that something in my 'regime' is a little off for my smaller AVs. Recently, after some chatting back and forth with various people, I've come to suspect I wasn't watering them enough – I was too used to my big plants, where I could go a week or even two without watering them and still expect to get good shows. I'd also been a little worried about over-watering some of my plants as african violets are very susceptible to root rot in wet conditions.
Fortunately, I happened to have 5 plantlets of the same cultivar on hand which were all about the same age and size. I decided to experiment to see which would grow better under different watering regimes – testing both soil density and watering. I promise the little green one is the same plant – it had mosaic leaves just before this picture was taken but I stripped them all down to ~4 mature leaves each for a more even comparison – I'm not sure if it has sported or just decided to be all green for a little while.
Plants 1 & 2 have 40:60 perlite to compost.
Plants 3 & 4 have 50:50 perlite to compost.
Plants 1 & 3 would be watered every four days (a little lower frequency than suggested as it's still chilly here so they're not drying out fast).
Plants 2 & 4 would be watered when I 'felt' they were getting dry (my 'usual' regime, probably about once every 8 days).
This would test whether a more or less retentive soil would do well under either condition and whether a plant watered more regularly would grow better. I suspect the soil with less perlite will do better under the lower water conditions and the higher perlite might do better under the higher water volume – though if neither rot then it may well be the one with more compost comes out on top as both are still fairly well drained substrates.
Plant 5 is in a 50:50 mix with a wick. (I didn't have a sixth plant to try out 40:60 on it)
I've had a member of one african violet community tell me that he found that his hand watered plants do better than wick watered ones so I'll be interested to see if that ends up being true for me.
So far, they are all doing reasonably well with plant 3 (50:50, watered frequently) and plant 4 (50:50, watered less frequently) looking to have grown the most in relation to when they started but it's only three weeks in, so far, so anything could yet happen.
Hopefully in a couple of months I'll be able to update on these little plants and see who's done best in the long term – especially as we'll be moving into warmer weather and longer days – so their growth won't be slowed by being on a slightly chilly window!

Last month, everyone's favourite sexually ambiguous multi-instrumentalist Patrick Wolf unveiled the second single to be taken from his forthcoming album Lupercalia. The track, entitled The City, was premiered on the Steve Lamaq show and is the follow up to the superbly rousing post break-up soundtrack Time Of Your Life. The City is an equally stellar effort. I think it's the wailing sax solos that do it for me - if not them, then surely the upliftingly spirited vocals, both of which give a distinctly Springsteen-esque flavour to this otherwise bouncy pre pre-summer record. The City will released March 14th on vinyl and download.

Brother - Darling Buds Of May Video Released
Broadly speaking, you're in either of two camps: you either love Brother, or you hate Brother. I've met people from both sides - a middle ground does not exist. So what now for a band that appear to be 2011's musical equivalent of the Israel/Palestine conflict? That's right, a new promotional video and a tour with The Streets. Supporting The Streets is a shrewd move. Both acts ham up their gritty, urban image, and play music with yob-pop overtones. It's similarities like this that will no doubt endear Streets fans, looking for an alternative now Skinner has decided to wrap up The Streets project, to the cause.

Cut Copy - Remixed
It's only a matter of weeks 'til Zonoscope, Cut Copy's third studio album, is released to European fans, and already it seems that most of the record has found its way onto Youtube. Is nothing sacred?! I've restrained myself, both physically and chemically, from copping a look at this leaked content - I want to the hear the album in its high quality entirety - I feel this record deserves as much. So, until the album's release, I've been making do with the various remixes of the band's new material. Most of them are a bit meh, though this one, by Illinois' Tigorilla - featuring some Tears For Fears style xylophone action - is a noteworthy effort:

Jonathan Boulet is everything you'd want to be: young, incredibly talented - and Australian. His grammar though, leaves a lot to be desired, as evidenced by the appalling syntactic error on his latest track entitled You're A Animal.

According to a report in Tech Crunch on Friday, Snapchat just made it easier to navigate the app with a universal search bar that's always accessible at the top of the app.
Available for some people on Android, the new changes will roll out to all iOS and Android users soon.
The search bar lets you dig out of Snapchat the best content and conversations.
"Improved search could be a huge boon to brands, businesses and influencers hoping to build their Snapchat audience," it added.
With the new search bar, if you tap a friend's auto-suggest card or search result, you'll start a chat with them or you can tap their Story thumbnail to instantly start watching it full screen.
Snapchat is also introducing "Our Story" -- a new global live story that any user can contribute to at any time.
The "Quick Chat" suggestions will let you hop to a particular friend's message thread or story a lot faster, the report added.
You'll also be able to see in your profile your "best friends" that you Snap with often.
Currently, Snapchat has nearly 150 million daily active users.

Description of problem:
When booting an Intel system with hyperthreading disabled, the following messages appear:
"ACPI Exception (acpi_processor-0681): AE_NOT_FOUND, Processor Device is not present [20060707]
ACPI: Getting cpuindex for acpiid 0x5
ACPI Exception (acpi_processor-0681): AE_NOT_FOUND, Processor Device is not present [20060707]
ACPI: Getting cpuindex for acpiid 0x6
ACPI Exception (acpi_processor-0681): AE_NOT_FOUND, Processor Device is not present [20060707]
ACPI: Getting cpuindex for acpiid 0x7
ACPI Exception (acpi_processor-0681): AE_NOT_FOUND, Processor Device is not present [20060707"
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
How reproducible:
Steps to Reproduce:
1. disable HT in BIOS
2. Boot RHEL5 kernel
Actual results:
Error messages appear
Expected results:
Error messages should not appear
Additional info:
The processors are marked as disabled in the APIC table. This error message can also appear if the
_STA method does not exist.
Error message is from: drivers/acpi/processor_core.c: is_processor_present()
This message also appears on newer multi-core Intel CPUs that do not have all
dies enabled (Tigerton-DC).
See also Private Bug 228851 "CPI Exception (acpi_processor-0681): AE_NOT_FOUND"
May be DUP.
Is there a newer BIOS available for this system?
I have seen this error on several different systems, and each time it was
resolved by updating the BIOS.
I can't see 228851.
All Dell system BIOS will have ACPI Processor entry even if hyperthreading is
disabled. This message started appearing with the hotplug CPU changes.
So this is a regression? Any chance you can test and determine in which release
the regression appeared?
Should be easy to fix.
Also, there shouldnt be any lack of functionality, as far as I can tell its only
the debug message getting printed.
Before I forget (again), after I was asked about this by Dell and I came
across the following thread http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8570.
It would appear as though a patch has just become available but it needs to
be accepted upstream.
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for
inclusion, but this component is not scheduled to be updated in
the current Red Hat Enterprise Linux release. If you would like
this request to be reviewed for the next minor release, ask your
support representative to set the next rhel-x.y flag to "?".
Things are looking very promising upstream. I asked Brian if I can steal this
and he said yes. Re-assigning to me.
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in a Red
Hat Enterprise Linux maintenance release. Product Management has requested
further review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for potential
inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux Update release for currently deployed
products. This request is not yet committed for inclusion in an Update
in kernel-2.6.18-99.el5
You can download this test kernel from http://people.redhat.com/dzickus/el5
Partners, this bug should be fixed in the latest RHEL 5.3 Snapshot. We believe that you have some interest in its correct functionality, so we're making a friendly request to send us some testing feedback.
If you have a chance to test it, please share with us your findings. If you have successfully VERIFIED the fix, please add PartnerVerified to the Bugzilla keywords, along with a description of the results. Thanks!
Fixed in RHEL5.3-Snapshot4 (kernel-2.6.18-124.el5).
An advisory has been issued which should help the problem
described in this bug report. This report is therefore being
closed with a resolution of ERRATA. For more information
on therefore solution and/or where to find the updated files,
please follow the link below. You may reopen this bug report
if the solution does not work for you.
