College Payment Plan that Pays for Itself
College Payment Plan that Pays for Itself
It's a college payment plan you may not have considered, but more and more people are finding real estate investing to be the perfect solution.
The idea is to purchase a house as an investment property when a child is born or very young. Ideally, a 15-year fixed rate mortgage is used for a property that cash flows in the first year. By the time the child has reached college age the property is paid for and the parents can sell the asset and use the gain to fund college. Not only has the equity in the property grown over 18 years, but they've benefitted from the yearly cash flow as well.
Here's how the scenario might play out:
Let's say our fictional parents purchase a $100,000 house with $20,000 as a down payment. They take out a 15-year mortgage for the balance at 6.75 percent interest. Their mortgage payments are roughly $8,945 for the year (or $708 per month).
If they rent the house out for $1,200 a month and have around $325 per month in expenses (taxes, insurance, repairs), they should see about $2,005 in cash per year from rental income for the first 15 years. From years 16-18, the expense of the mortgage is eliminated, yielding them $10,500 in cash flow annually. Over 18 years the total cash flow equates to $61,575. Note that this conservative estimate does not include potential rent increases that will increase cash flow and will help offset additional property taxes. Nor does it include interest earned if the parents decide to reinvest cash flow.
In 18 years the property will have appreciated, too. If we use a 3 percent rate of appreciation, which is less than the 5 percent appreciation real estate has averaged over the past 40 years, the $100,000 property they bought would be worth $170,243 at the time of sale.
The initial $20,000 investment would have earned $150,243 over 18 years - a return of over 13%. Including cash flow, the return is 15%!
While it is difficult to determine what future tuition will be-increases in tuition have spiked dramatically in recent years-a $230,000 ($170,000 sales price + $60,000 in cash flow) cushion should be enough to soften the tuition blow.
Investors aren't limited to purchasing real estate to fund college; many choose to purchase property during the college years to provide their children with a home and save on room and board. Purchasing a home with multiple bedrooms, gives you the option to lease the additional bedrooms to help pay for the mortgage. When your child no longer needs the house, you can plan to sell.
In the long run, these savvy parents are saving money and helping to provide their children with a stable place to live during their college careers. If you are interested in learning more about investing in our market today, please give me a call. Nate

The curtain closes and the first half of 2015 is a finished act. Monthly market analysis helps nudge the real estate story forward for a final bow. The orchestra (consumers) and conductor (the REALTOR®) are thanked. Metropolitan operas, er, markets across the country continue to improve and further perform at peaks not seen in years. Bad memories from that one lousy show known as the Great Recession are pushed even further into the past.
New Listings were down 19.1 percent for single family homes and 26.2 percent for Condo/TIC/Coop properties. Pending Sales increased 10.5 percent for single family homes but decreased 9.1 percent for Condo/TIC/Coop properties.
The Median Sales Price was up 10.7 percent to $1,301,000 for single family homes and 15.2 percent to $1,100,000 for Condo/TIC/Coop properties. Months Supply of Inventory decreased 28.6 percent for single family units and 23.8 percent for Condo/TIC/Coop units.
Having six months of 2015 data in the books is great, but it is still just intermission at this halfway point of the year. Forecasting market trends can be as dicey as the weather, but with interest rates managing to remain low into the summer months, the outlook is promising, even if rates go up later in the year. Metrics like inventory and percent of list price received at sale are two of the better understudies to watch this year.

75% off Clearance at Walmart5 Jan
My local Walmart has 75% off Christmas clearance. I know what you are thinking…its all picked over. Not my store!

So I picked up one to try out for $1 on sale. The scent is called, "Ginger Spice Cake." It smells so good.
Our cashier told us that another lady had come in earlier that day and bought 40 boxes of lights for $0.67/each!
So, if you have time tonight or tomorrow, visit a non-centrally located WalMart and hope the shelves are still stocked. Or even better, call that friend who lives out in the middle of nowhere and tell them about the deal!

Screened Gazebo
Originally uploaded by FreeWine
Lots of water in Oklahoma these days, eh? The North Canadian River is running strong and out of it banks. I was out there this week putting screen around the gazebo on our river lot. The river is so high that you can actually launch a kayak without climbing down a treacherous sloping riverbank! Yakker will tell you that this is pretty uncommon at our lot in Pierce, Oklahoma.
At home here in Okmulgee, the Deep Fork River is in the same condition. In fact, on my way home from work yesterday I noticed that Thousand Acre Lake (a small playa lake that appears occasionally on the DFWR) was at a decent level for fishing and paddling. If the wind lays for a moment this weekend, I may have to get out there and try to take some pictures. it isn't the most scenic body of water ever, but it is real close to home. Also, I have a thing for bodies of water that play 'hard to get'.
Sadly, there has been so much rain recently that the Lower Mountain Fork River has grown too strong for kayaking. If your local rivers are too swollen to paddle you may want to consider some lake paddling.
OKC area paddlers may be interested to learn that the the 3rd Annual Lake Overholser/Stinchcomb Wildlife Refuge Clean-up has been scheduled for April 19, 2008 from 9:30am - 1:00pm. Visit our Taste Oklahoma News Blog for more details on the fun that they have planned and the prizes you could win just by participating!
I've also added a Kayak Photography page to the Oklahoma Road trips site. The content is still a little bit light today, just some kayaking pictures and five kayak photography tips. However, I plan to add a list of kayak photography links and some equipment reviews.
Let me know if you have any ideas to share. Just email me or leave a comment on the blog.

!! History Commons Alert, Exciting News
Steve Schneider, David Koresh's top aide inside the besieged Branch Davidian compound (see 5:00 A.M. - 9:30 A.M. February 28, 1993 and March 1, 1993), suggests that federal agents might burn the compound down to destroy evidence. Both Koresh and Schneider are "highly agitated and upset," according to a later Justice Department report, for most of the day. FBI negotiators privately say that the negotiations are at an impasse, and acknowledge their frustration at dealing with Koresh. Koresh offers to send out one of his followers, Melissa Morrison, if in turn he is allowed to talk to FBI informant Robert Rodriguez. The FBI refuses, and Koresh does not allow Morrison to leave the compound. [Moore, 1995; PBS Frontline, 10/1995]

Corn harvest reports a mixed bag
Writer: Robert Burns, 903-834-6191, email@example.com
COLLEGE STATION – As corn prices surge, the condition of the crop varied widely around the state, according to reports by Texas AgriLife Extension Service personnel.
Where drought conditions ruled, dryland corn generally suffered, according to this week's reports from AgriLife Extension county agents. But irrigated corn was in trouble as well in some areas, such as the Rolling Plains, as later-planted fields went into their peak water usage stage and well water levels dropped.
Texas crop, weather MP3 audio report for Aug. 7, 2012
Texas crop, weather MP3 audio report for Aug. 7, 2012
In the Panhandle, it was a mixed bag, with some agents reporting the crop to be in fair condition while others said it was stressed. Some dryland fields had already been abandoned.
In North and Central Texas, the reports were more positive, despite triple-digit temperatures and generally dry conditions.
"The corn harvest is starting with yields ranging from 50 to 110 bushels per acre," said Shane McLellan, AgriLife Extension agent in McLennan County, south of Fort Worth. "The milo harvest is nearly complete with good yields ranging from 3,500 to 6,000 pounds per acre."
Jared Ripple, AgriLife Extension agent in Williamson County north of Austin, reported most corn there had been harvested and aflatoxin levels were generally low.
Reports from North Texas were similar. Wayne Becker, AgriLife Extension agent in Cooke County, north of Dallas, said all but a few fields had been harvested. The corn harvest there came early thanks to a timely rain that helped mature the crop, followed by hot weather that promoted a quick dry down.
"If there's any corn left by today (Aug. 7), I'd be really surprised," Becker said. "We only grow about 2,000 acres of corn, and our average yield is probably below 100 bushels (per acre.) We're averaging around the 100-bushel level, and aflatoxin which is usually a concern in our area, has been relatively low. All in all, we have to be pretty happy with our corn yields, and our grain sorghum yields are certainly running above average."
More information on the current Texas drought and wildfire alerts can be found on the AgriLife Extension Agricultural Drought Task Force website at http://agrilife.tamu.edu/drought/ .
AgriLife Extension district reporters compiled the following summaries for July 31-Aug. 6:
Central: The region remained hot and dry. Most forage sorghum was harvested. Crops under irrigation still looked good, but dryland crops were burning up. Coastal Bermuda grass was cut and baled. Some hay producers were hoping for a third cutting. Grain sorghum and corn was also harvested. Aflatoxin numbers were low in corn. Pecans looked good.
Coastal Bend: Hot and humid weather prevailed. Some scattered showers were reported, but accumulations were mostly very low. The corn, grain sorghum and cotton harvests were well under way, with significant yield variation within individual fields. One corn producer reported a field's yields varying from 30 to 90 bushels per acre. Producers who had already harvested cotton were shredding stalks or plowing fields. Soybeans were making and filling pods. Producers were making hay on pastures that received rain earlier. Cattle remained in fair condition with continued supplemental feeding.
East: With no rain and extreme heat, topsoils were drying out. Heat advisories remained in effect for much of the area. Henderson County posted a burn ban on its western side. Hay production began to slow. Pecans made good progress. Grasshoppers continued to be a problem. Armyworms were reported in some hay meadows.
Far West: Highs were in the triple digits and lows in the upper 70s with the drought continuing. Counties are seeing what little green they once had in fields turn brown. In Andrews County, forages and pecans under irrigation are stressed. In Howard County, stock tanks were dry or drying up, and there were reports of small grassfires. In Crane County, Lehman lovegrass pastures were still green while native-grass pastures struggled. Pine bark beetle reports continued to come in from the northern end of Presidio County. In El Paso County, pecans were progressing well, and alfalfa growers were taking a fifth cutting. Martin, Ward and Val Verde county livestock producers were de-stocking again.
North: Soil moisture was short to adequate. The corn harvest was estimated to be about 75 to 100 percent complete, with average to above-average yields. Virtually all grain crops were ready to harvest, so the only crops that will be impacted by dry weather will be cotton and hay. Cattle were in fair to good condition. Peaches still looked very good. Large numbers of grasshoppers and feral hogs were still problems.
Panhandle: Conditions remained hot and dry with temperatures at or above 100 degrees most of the week. Some areas received rain, from 0.16 inch to 2 inches. Soil-moisture levels were very short to adequate, with most counties reporting very short to short. Corn was in very poor to good condition, with most reporting fair. Most of the early planted corn was in fair shape, but later-planted corn was suffering as irrigation water had to be shared with other crops. Some cornfields were abandoned due to drought conditions. Cotton was in very poor to excellent condition with most reporting fair. Irrigated cotton was in good shape with little insect pressure. Dryland cotton, however, was barely holding on under the extreme temperatures. Rangeland and pastures were in very poor to excellent condition with most reporting very poor to poor. Due to lack of wind to run windmills, some cattlemen in some areas had to haul water to livestock. Some cattlemen were taking advantage of the emergency Conservation Reserve Program grazing. Cow/calf producers who still had cattle were feeding hay and culling herds and shipping calves.
Rolling Plains: Conditions remained extremely dry — a repeat of last year. Dryland cotton was withering away under extreme heat and drought. What little cotton that earlier looked as if it might make it began blooming and was expected to play out soon. Farmers feared even if rain was received soon it would be too little too late. However, irrigated cotton looked pretty good. Pastures were drying up and being grazed out. Some producers were weaning and selling calves early in order to keep their few remaining cows. Other livestock continued to need supplemental feed. Producers are worried about lack of shade for cattle in the heat, and some were even constructing portable shades. Hay production was light. Some grain sorghum was harvested. Tanks and reservoirs continued to dry up, and the water level of more wells was dropping. Many trees were stressed or dying. Some counties reported high grasshopper populations.
South: Soil Moisture conditions were short to very short. Producers were able to take a second cutting of hay on some fields. Irrigated crops looked very good, and peanuts were progressing well. Corn and sorghum harvests were ongoing. Cotton was opening bolls, and peanuts were pegging. Beef and forage producers managed to make at least one hay cutting so far. Some have gotten two, but forages were wilting fast. Stock-tank levels dropped under the hot, dry weather while livestock water needs increased. In the eastern part of the district, dry and hot conditions allowed harvesting to progress rapidly. Crops in areas that didn't get rain mid-July were showing stress, and forages especially were rapidly wilting. In the western part of the district, most native-grass rangeland and pastures were in the poor to fair condition. Supplemental feeding increased as livestock producers continued to try to maintain manageable herd sizes. Cotton and pecan producers were irrigating. The corn and sorghum harvests were completed. Cotton was in good condition. In a narrow strip of Webb County, a 5 to 6-inch rain caused some flooding of homes and streets in northeast Laredo. But stock tanks were filled or nearly filled by the deluge. Hay supplies are low, but should improve in areas with rainfall. In the southern part of the district, cotton and corn harvesting continued, livestock were in fair condition, and sugarcane growers were actively irrigating.
South Plains: Most of the region remained dry, with only Garza County reporting any rain, and then only in isolated regions. Triple-digit heat was reported throughout the region for most of the reporting period. All crops and pastures were stressed, and many cotton fields were pushed into early cutout (the stage of growth prior to boll opening). The remaining cotton had a wide range of maturity levels. Irrigated cotton was suffering as well as producers tried to pump enough water without any recharge of aquifers by rain. Dryland cotton was barely hanging on. Corn was at its peak water-use stage. Some early planted corn was beginning to mature. The corn-silage harvest was expected to begin in a week or two. Insect activity was very minimal. Peanuts and grain sorghum continued to mature. Late-planted grain sorghum ranged from 5 inches tall to nearly the boot stage. Many fields were drought-stressed.
Southeast: The corn and sorghum harvests proceeded without problems. Dryland yields were average to slightly below average. Irrigated corn harvesting was just starting.
Southwest: Typical hot summer temperatures prevailed, and there was little to no rain. Pastures that were green a week ago are now brown with no growth. The corn, sorghum and milo harvests were nearly over with good yields reported. Cotton was opening bolls. Irrigated forages made good progress. The pecan crop was heavy, and producers were shaking trees to reduce nut load on limbs.
West Central: Extreme hot, dry, windy conditions prevailed. Temperatures remained in the triple digits throughout the week. Soil-moisture levels continued to drop, and crop and pasture conditions continued to decline. Some producers were still cutting and baling hay, but yields were low. Cotton was blooming, and some growers were spraying weeds. The grain sorghum and silage harvests were in full swing. Irrigated crops were doing well. Insect pressure was low. Field preparation for fall planting was completed in some areas. Rangeland and pastures were in very poor condition and severely drought-stressed. The extreme heat caused many native and improved grasses to remain dormant. Livestock remained in good condition with continued supplemental feeding. Stock-tank water levels further dropped. Pecans looked very good as growers irrigated orchards.

Christmas finds me in a very different state of mind this year. Thankful, to be sure. Blessed, most completely. Sobered? Very much so.
I am finding my heart to be quiet as Christmas approaches. Seeing the world through the spectacles of reflection instead of anticipation. Yes, I rejoice with all Christendom as we sing, "Joy to the world! The Lord is come, Let earth receive her King!" Yet, my heart is quieter and softer as I sing those words.
For years my favorite Christmas carol has been a lesser known song. Recently I asked a few of my friends if they knew the tune and very few of them did. The words are haunting, the melody enduring, and the story behind the original poem is lasting. Written by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow during the American Civil War, he wrote,
"I heard the bells on Christmas Day, their old familiar carols play. And wild and sweet the words repeat, of peace on earth, good will to men."
But this year, in a spirit of quietness, I have begun to understand the emotions of the next lines. The raw agony of hope. The pain of grief.
"And in despair- I bowed my head. 'There is no peace on earth!' I said, 'For hate is strong and mocks the song, of peace on earth, good will to men.'
December has sobered sensitive hearts all across America. The world is watching as families mourn in Connecticut. As well as closer tears, familiar names that are now marked in stone. Only today I heard of a church family in Kansas that lost their young son. Friday found me crying as a stout prayer warrior in my life left this earth. Christmas comes quietly this year, and my heart has been tendered to the sadness that accompanies this December.
I don't have answers. I don't have reasons why. But I have a peace that passes understanding. As grief is so blatantly displayed on the media and as I feel it so close to my heart, I am finding rest that only comes from God. This past semester has found me longing to seek solace in the arms of Christ. Longing for escape. Longing for my 40 days in the desert to pray. I am finding that desire to be answered in a different kind of quietness. A forced quietness. Situations that probe hard questions. Circumstances that have me on my knees praying. Communion with God that leaves no room for petty words or half hearted conversation.
Emotions? To be sure.
Harsh reality? Yes.
Questions? Many.
The assurance that God is faithful? Minute by minute it is there.
I'll shout it, scream it, pray it...until I have no voice left to whisper the words...God is faithful.
This post may not offer any grand epiphany It doesn't contribute to the debates about gun control. This post isn't laying out the 1-2-3 plan for how to get through the holidays or how to handle grief. Not at all. Not even close. But these are my words. My quiet, soft, words.
If you don't believe in Jesus, this kind of faith doesn't make sense.
It seems foolish.
A crutch.
I know, I have heard so many of those arguments and debates before today.
That's not why I am here to write.
I'm here to simply say, God is faithful.
Today, on this day, I choose to keep believing that He is good.
As this December has come like a thief in the night, I cling to the hope that the shepherds in Bethlehem received. They had been waiting for a Savior. They were living in the darkness of the night, when they were given the word, "Today, in the town of Bethlehem, a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord." In the darkness of this world, as we anxiously await the coming of our Lord again, we remember the hope that He has brought.
"Then pealed the bells more loud and deep: 'God is not dead, nor doth he sleep! The wrong shall fail, the right prevail, with peace on earth, good will to men.'"

I want my country back…
In a new video, Rebel Pundit caught a Telemundo cameraman staging anti-Trump protesters by telling them how to hold the Mexican flag during a rally in San Diego on May 27.
Early on you can clearly see the Spanish language TV channel's cameraman turning the protesters' Mexican flag in the right direction.
"Turn it around. It's upside down," you can hear him say to the #NeverTrump crew with a 'F*ck Trump' sign.
"Is that the media staging a shot? Is Telemundo staging a shot?" filmmaker Andrew Marcus asks the cameraman.
"Probably," the cameraman replies. As Marcus inquired further, the cameraman got rude. "What do you want me to do man? I'm not part of the protest bra," he said before getting more vulgar. "F*ck you man, I need to work."
Later on in the same video, a Spanish-speaking anti-Trump thug smacks Marcus' camera and then spits on him.
"You're very classy," Marcus sarcastically tells him as the protesters proceeds to flip him the finger.
One woman came to the thug's defense by saying "he's just a minor."

Rumors about the demise of serial ports are greatly exaggerated. Serial ports are used in everything from industrial automation systems to scientific instrumentation. However, as data communications technology continues to evolve, the humble serial port is sometimes left behind. This article reviews serial device server technology—both its usefulness and its drawbacks. Then, it demonstrates how to access serial data from locations that are either remote or restricted and therefore out of range of a Wi-Fi network.

You should put the title of the posting in the main ad too – not just in the title field – and you must put it between h1 tags. This will give your ad a huge edge in the search engines.
Craigslist automatically puts the title in the TITLE field between h2 tags, but that is not enough if you want to get ahead in a competitive industry: you need to put your own h1 title in the main body IN ADDITION to the one in the title field.
With BackPage you should do the opposite: Put an h2 title in the main body, because BackPage puts the title in the TITLE field in h1 tags (surely a more logical approach than that of Craigslist.)
More generally, you should use classical SEO principles when producing your ad copy, and take full advantage of the HTML that Craigslist allows: bold, italics, underline, etc.
This will ensure that your ad's appearance on Google's first page will be by design rather than by accident.

Yep, that was today's lamppost headline of the day. Chicken – dumps – pig. I'm sorry to say I couldn't track down the actual story on the Daily Sun website. I tried. Instead I did dig up an alternative sensational chicken story that they ran last year.
It appears that the Daily Sun is a goldmine for catchy and unusual headlines and juicy juicy stories.
Back to reality……we had a Dragon Crossing the road, a Severed Spider Corpse hidden amongst the pool toys and a Giant Praying Mantis scaling the side of our house.
What can I say, it's just another day in Africa.

With cold weather upon us, there is nothing better than warming up by a fire. At times it can get a little frustrating if you can't get that fire going so here are steps you can take to make some very effective fire starters from house hold supplies.
What you'll need:
- Egg carton
- Saw dust
- Dryer lint
- Wax candles
- Old pan
- Lighter
Step 1. Fill the bottom of the egg carton with the saw dust. This can also include broken up paper shavings, sticks, twigs, wood chips, etc. Consider going to your local hardware store and asking for their sawdust.
Step 2. Gather your dryer lint and place it over the top of all the sawdust. Your home dryer will be caked full of dryer lint which will be the best place to gather this supply.
Step 3. Melt your candles in an old pan (I bought mine from the dollar store), CAREFULLY pour it over the dryer lint. You may need to use multiple candles depending how much wax your candle produces.
Step 4. Let the wax dry. Once dried, each egg compartment will break off into individual sized fire starters.
These fire starters are not only great for your indoor, wood-burning fireplace but also great for starting bonfires and charcoal grills. Of note, please be careful as you are creating these, and use them responsibly.

How many leads did your broker give you last month?
I'm going to be very frank with you. There are a lot of big box names. There are some small boutique shops, too. However, they all have one thing in common. You are not given any warm leads to work. Sure they will tell you how they'll train you. Then they will send you out to cold call expired listings and FSBO's and/or pester every friend and relative you have begging them for business.
We're offering something different. We'll not only provide you with the training you need but we'll provide you with a constant supply of fresh new, warm leads of people looking to buy real estate. All you have to do is follow up with them, establish a relationship with them and then sell them a house.
We're very serious about real estate at The Zac Team, are you?
We are seeking a self motivated full time agent. Did your Broker provide you with over 50 warm leads last month? Email me at firstname.lastname@example.com for a private, one-on-one consultation to see if you have what we are looking for.

Nowadays it is rare for an accessory to really grab consumer's attention. However, the new Bluetooth keyboard from Logitech just might be worth a second and even third look. Generally speaking, Bluetooth keyboards are all the same. Yes, some differ slightly, some come with a small flap which when extended elevates the keyboard into an optimal position but overall they are just Bluetooth keyboards. Slap in your tablet or phone, hit connect and start typing.
Well the Logitech K480 is a little bit different to the rest. Like the others the keyboard allows you to connect your tablet or smartphone however unlike the others this one allows you to connect BOTH your smatphone and tablet at the same time. I know what you are thinking. OK, it connects two devices simultaneously but then I will simply be typing the same thing on both the devices and what's the point of that? No. This handy little device comes with a small knob which by turning allows you to connect to any one of the devices. Oh wait, did I mention it will also connect to you laptop simultaneously to both your phone and tablet. Sorry about that. Yes, this will connect to all THREE of your devices at the same time and allow you to simply alternate between the devices by turning the knob. Sounds good? Yes, it does! The keyboard contains the typical dock layout which allows docking of either the tablet or smartphone and due to its multi-nature purpose allows docking of both your smartphone and tablet together as long as the size permits. To clarify, unfortunately there is a width limit to the device so you cannot not dock a 10" tablet and 6" phone at the same time although it does seem any tablets 8" and below will stow adequately with roughly a 5" phone. The docking station is Bluetooth operated, runs on AAA batteries and works with Windows, iOS and Android devices. In terms of size and weight the keyboard measures 310 x 41 x 201mm (HxWxD) and weights 1.03kg.
So what about the price? Well, this has not been officially released yet. The device was and is expected to be released in September in the US and Europe and the suggested price was expected to be $49.99 in the US and £29.99 in the UK. However, we've noticed Curry's in the UK are already listing this device as available and in stock for £49.99. According to the Curry's listing the device is available for home delivery now or collection in store. So what do you guys think? Does it look interesting? Do you want it? Yes, you do!

Here is little confusion that the technology behind driverless cars is nearly advanced enough for normal apply. Car manufacturers like BMW and Toyota are also preparing to sell driverless cars that drive themselves.
Instead, the bigger question about driverless cars is about its legal responsibility. Who is responsible when something goes wrong?
Driverless cars are supposed to be much safer than cars driven by people because they do not make human errors. But accidents seem to be expected. What happens when a driverless car kills someone? Or less considerably, who pays the ticket when it does not notice a no parking sign, or when an error in Google Maps sends it the wrong way down a one-way street?
As robots become mainstream, lawmakers will have to grapple with how to govern machines and hold software accountable. Only four states and the District of Columbia have passed laws specific to driverless cars, some just allowing manufacturers to test cars and none answering every legal question that might come up.
But lawyers, academics and the car's designers say none of these issues are likely to prevent self-driving cars from hitting the road, because current liability laws already provide some guidance. A bigger obstacle than the law might turn out to be people's own visceral fears of robots.
Here is what to expect. In cases of parking or traffic tickets, the owner of the car would most likely be held responsible for paying the ticket, even if the car and not the owner broke the law.
In the case of a crash that injures or kills someone, many parties would be likely to sue one another, but ultimately the car's manufacturer, like Google or BMW, would probably be held responsible, at least for civil penalties.
Product liability law, which holds manufacturers responsible for faulty products, tends to adapt well to new technologies, John Villasenor, a fellow at the Brookings Institution and a professor at University of California, Los Angeles, wrote in a paper last month proposing guiding principles for driverless car legislation.
A manufacturer's responsibility for problems discovered after a product is sold — like a faulty software update for a self-driving car — is less clear, Villasenor wrote. But there is legal precedent, particularly with cars, as anyone following the recent spate of recalls knows.
The cars could make reconstructing accidents and assigning blame in lawsuits more clear-cut because the car records video and other data about the drive, said Sebastian Thrun, an inventor of driverless cars.
"I often joke that the big losers are going to be the trial lawyers," he said.
Insurance companies would also benefit from this data, and might even reward customers for using driverless cars, Villasenor wrote. Ryan Calo, who studies robotics law at the University of Washington's School of Law, predicted a renaissance in no-fault car insurance, under which an insurer covers damages to its customer regardless of who is at fault.
Criminal penalties are a different story, for the simple reason that robots cannot be charged with a crime.
"Criminal law is going to be looking for a guilty mind, a particular mental state — should this person have known better?" Calo said. "If you're not driving the car, it's going to be difficult."
The first deadly accident could be a bigger headache for the carmaker's public relations department than for its lawyers.
"It's the one headline, 'Machine Kills Child', rather than the 30,000 obituaries we have every year from humans killed on the roads," said Bryant Walker Smith, a fellow at Stanford University's Center for Automotive Research. "It's the fear of robots. There's something scarier about a machine malfunctioning and taking away control from somebody. We saw that in the Toyota unintended acceleration cases, when people would describe their horror at feeling like they could lose control of their car."
Robot cars scare people less than some other new technologies, though. Nearly half of Americans say they would ride in one, according to Pew Research Center, making them a much more popular new technology than others like drones or implantable memory chips.
So perhaps the biggest question about driverless cars is — when can we use one?

#Fearless365 - Romans 8:35
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship
or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? - Romans 8:35
I believe that many times when we ask a question, we already know the answer but are looking for confirmation, validation or permission. I believe this because revelation, wisdom and instruction are readily available within us through the power of the Holy Spirit. And when it comes to the word of God and His relationship with us and love for us, there is proof positive from Genesis to Revelation that nothing and no one can separate us from the love of Christ. That knowledge is confirmed in verse 37, which tells us that we are empowered to conquer any and everything through Christ's love. Read more...

Praying for God's Provision
"Praying for God's Provision" is the essence of the message I shared on The Destination Manifestation Prayerline. Their theme was The Lord's Prayer and I had volunteered to speak on Matthew 6:11, "Give us this day our daily bread." I immediately picked this verse because it strongly resonates with me. I knew that it would provide a learning opportunity for me to see and trust God on a deeper level regarding His provisions for my life, and empower others with that knowledge.
As caregiver for my mom, I've learned to count it all joy in spite of the challenges that arose when my mom took ill in 2014. I shared in a previous blog post that she had a stroke which impaired her memory and language skills, followed by two incidences of congestive heart failure where the doctor had to shock her irregular heart beat into its right rhythm (cardioversion). The hospitalizations, various therapies and adjustments took its toll on the both of us and created times, then and now when the stress feels like it is consuming my head, rippling through my body and oozing out my ears, causing my attitude to be short and my tone sharp. But God … God encourages me through it all, helps me to keep a proper perspective, and increases my joy through the process.
When I experienced a low spirit, tear-jerking moment on May 30, 2015, I was asked to write a "Joy" themed poem to share the next day at the Women's Choir Program. But God led me to share in a different way and this is my testimony…
Have you ever felt like you were under attack, being persecuted every which way you turned? Well, I began feeling that way from September 2013 through my present time of testing. However, I simultaneously sensed and saw God's hand at work throughout my experience and so offer you this God positive perspective on persecution.
Prayer is essential in order for God's people to effectively experience victorious living. To develop confidence in your prayer life, you need to know, believe and speak God's word over your life and watch Him work the details out on your behalf. God's word is rich with promises that can encourage you to stand or hold on when going through challenging life experiences, rich promises that can pump up your praise while you expectantly wait with excitement on what you know and believe to be true. Read, meditate on, and seal the following scriptures in your heart to guide you to and through a confident prayer life filled with peace, joy, love, forgiveness and gratitude.
How to Live by Faith
"The Just Shall Live By Faith" was the message preached and taught by Elder William Banton on Sunday at Apostolic Temple of Jesus Christ. The primary scripture reference was Romans 1:17 and we were richly reminded of how accessible and powerful faith is and what it looks like when used. The message was so engaging that I jotted down the faith nuggets I received on the front and back side of the "post-its" that were inside my pocketbook. Below are a few of my faith factor takeaways and personal thoughts for your encouragement
Wilderness experiences and challenging times of testing are a part of every Christian's life and if it has not shown up in your life yet, just keep living. Storms of testing times are inevitable and for a divine purpose, so I encourage you to hold on.
Tests and trials are necessary for us to mature, grow, and learn how to trust God; they come to test and strengthen our faith. When we hold on in the storm and persevere through testing times, it produces patience and shows us who God is and what we can do through His strength, grace and mercy.
Are you stressed out more often than not, unable to find peace? Well, you can now be comforted with the fact that peace is attainable and maintainable when you follow the simple strategy outlined in Philippians 4: 4-9, 12-13, 19.
Praise God
Praise God no matter what is going on in your life. He is worthy of all praise and will inhabit the praises of His people. When you send up praises, He will send down blessings. Reflect the image of your Creator as you glorify His name.
4 "Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! 5 Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near."
The first time I saw the video, "A Parent's Love," it reminded me to be more loving and patient with mom, and showed me that I hadn't been. I became reflective and put myself in her place, remembering how she took care of me as a child and was still actively supportive of me as an adult. I was deeply moved with a strong need to increase my love and serve her better. Now, after serving her through her stroke rehabilitation and heart complications, I experienced a need to view this video again and recharge my intention.

Dieselpunk is a subgenre of fantasy and speculative fiction which is gradually coming into prominence after being introduced by Children of the Sun game designers Lewis Pollak and Dan Ross in 2001 to help market said game. According to Pollak, dieselpunk describes a "darker, dirtier side of steampunk" and should be considered a "continuum between steampunk and cyberpunk."
The term thus denotes works set in an era or world characterised by the rise of petroleum power and technocratic perception, incoporating neo-noir elements and sharing themes with Adventure Pulp. Dieselpunk fiction is typically set in the era immediately prior to or following World War II—but with prominent elements of either science fiction or fantasy, such as real technological developments occurring at an earlier date. Dieselpunk may be closer associated with cyberpunk in that it tends to be more dystopian that steampunk.
Pulp magazines were widely published from the 1920s through the 1950s—the period usually associated with dieselpunk fiction. They often contained a wide variety of genre fiction; many classic science fiction and crime novels were originally serialized in pulp magazines. Pulp is nonetheless commonly associated with adventure fiction in the vein of Indiana Jones, whose first film, Raiders of the Lost Ark, contains many typical dieselpunk elements, ranging from the archetypical great white hunter-hero popular in steampunk literature also to Nazis possessing more advanced technologies than they did in the real world, heavily indulged in mysticism and esotericism. Similar elements feature in Mike Mignola's Hellboy, the first film adaption of which depicts Nazis equally obsessed with the occult.
Pulp magazines gained immense popularity during World War II as cheap and portable tales of good triumphing over evil. The same applied to comic books which showcased superheroes battling the Axis Powers with depictions of iconic comic book heroes punching Adolf Hitler or fighting buck-toothed Japanese soldiers gracing the covers of the age. Director Kerry Conran of Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow noted the influence of both pulp fiction as well as Golden Age comics in his film.
Despite the many similarities between dieselpunk and the pulp fiction upon which it is typically based, dieselpunk is no retro-futurism. Like steampunk transports modern-day automata and perceptions into the 19th century and is thus different from Victorian-Edwardian Scientific Romances and Voyages Extraordinaires, dieselpunk colonizes the past with technologies more, and more aggressively developed than in the real world and with sensibilities characteristic of cyberpunk and dystopian fiction. Like steampunk exists within the framework of speculative fiction, of which the origins date back to the pioneering works of Jules Verne, H.G. Wells, Mark Twain and Mary Shelley, dieselpunk draws its inspiration from pre- and post-World War II pulp magazines and the technologies of war devised or nearly produced during the last phases of that war.
German Expressionism
1920s German Expressionism in film was cited by director Kerry Conran of Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow as an important influence for his film. Conran particularly referred to Fritz Lang, whose petroleum-powered corporate city-state Metropolis is an inspiration to much dieselpunk fiction bordering the dystopian. Conran cited the works of American delineator Hugh Ferriss as another key influence, whose drawings of immense buildings seem to overshadow the human individual as if embodying the rise of technocratic perception. Director Tim Burton of Batman Returns drew similar inspiration from the works of Ferriss and his 1992 film is typically considered a modern attempt to capture the essence of German Expressionism. The angular building designs and severe-looking city squares of Gotham City evoke the loom and menace present in Metropolis.
Film noir
Film noir is an inspiration to dieselpunk not so much in terms of setting and plot, but in terms of its visual style inspired by German Expressionist cinematography. Many of the prototypical stories and much of the attitude of classic noir derive from the hardboiled school of crime fiction that emerged in pre-World War II American pulp fiction.
Among the leading Hollywood directors of noir during the past and current decade is Christopher Nolan whose 2005 Batman Begins marked a more dark-toned take on the superhero as inspired by Frank Miller's Batman: Year One and Batman: The Long Halloween by Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale, both greatly influenced for their Batman graphic novel by film noir, particularly Francis Ford Coppola's The Godfather. Both the 2005 film adaption of Miller's Sin City as well as the 1994 film adaption of the The Shadow heavily incorporate neo-noir elements as well. A 2005 film adaption of H.P. Lovecraft's The Call of Cthulhu was even produced entirely as a black-and-white silent movie to produce the look of a 1920s-era film.
Film noir ' s typical heroes who are more flawed and morally questionable than the norm were translated into cyberpunk by Lawrence Person as "marginalized, aliented loners who lived on the edge of society in generally dystopic futures." Dieselpunk fiction may feature similarly flawed and troubled protagonists.
As the term dieselpunk was originally coined to describe a genre similar to steampunk set in a later era, the 1920s through the 1950s can be the setting of dieselpunk fiction. Thus three different and distinct settings could be categorized: dieselpunk set either during the Roaring Twenties or Great Depression, that is the 1920s or 1930s; dieselpunk set during World War II, which typically lasted longer than in the real world; and dieselpunk set during the first years of the Cold War, sometimes being referred to as Atomicpunk.
Pre-World War II
Pre-war dieselpunk is often set during the 1930s and inspired by that era's adventure pulp. The 2004 Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow is the most obvious example of dieselpunk in this setting, with a Buck Rogers-inspired protagonist, an archetypical villain known only as Dr. Totenkopf, and technologies far more advanced than in the real-world 1930s, including rayguns and mammoth dirigibles.
In this world, where there is no sign of the world being in the grip of economic recession, the spirit of the Roaring Twenties very much persisted. With no Great Depression to halt industrial progress, the Jazz Age never quite came to an end, nor did the era's sense of modernity. Everything seemed feasible through modern technology and not in terms of technology alone—the economic growth inspired new cultural and social sensibilities to find widespread acceptance; formal decorative frills were shed in favor of practicality, in architecture as well as in daily life. Americans became more and more enamored of wealth and everyday luxuries and new inventions, especially automobiles, film and radio proliferated modernity to the masses. At the same time, amusement and lightness were cultivated in music and dancing, in defiance of the horrors of war.
The aesthetics of dieselpunk fiction are thus typically inspired by Futurist are and Art Deco architecture, with the zeppelin mooring at the Empire State Building as epitome of dieselpunk visual style. In the authoritarian states of Nazi-Germany and the Soviet-Union, the monumental styles of Albert Speer and Socialist Classicism would dominate the city landscapes, with Speer's Germania completed by the 1960s according to Robert Harris' alternate history novel Fatherland.
World War II
World War II is the most common setting of dieselpunk fiction, with a panoply of video games set in an alternate history where Nazi-Germany was able to prolong the war through advanced technologies in reality unavailable at the time.
Such is the setting of Gear Krieg, Blazing Angels 2 and War Front: Turning Point, which each feature futuristic German technologies of war based upon real-world inventions such as the Messerschmitt Me 262 and the ambiguous German atom bomb project. Similar technologies are featured in the games Iron Storm and Fallout, though both are set decades after the war concluded in the real world. German science is typically depicted to have progressed its experimentation with biotechnology, sparking off a genetic revolution of cloning and organ harvesting and producing cyborg "supersoldiers" in games like Return to Castle Wolfenstein and ÜberSoldier.
Dieselpunk fiction set in the late-1940s and 1950s, sometimes referred to as Atomicpunk, draws its inspiration primarily from early-Cold War pulp fiction and comic books nowadays appreciated as retro-futurism. Examples in film include the 1991 The Rocketeer and the 1999 animation film The Iron Giant. Themes that usually surface in this setting include:
* Red Scare: the fear of communist intrusion sparking mass hysteria;
* Space Race: the competition for the conquest of outer space;
* Arms race: the continued research and development in new weapon systems;
* Suburbia: the restructuring of society into new community developments;
* Nuclear power: the emergence of nuclear power as a source of both energy and destruction.
"Atomic" dieselpunk draws inspiration from adventure pulp as much as pre-World War II dieselpunk such as Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow. The protagonist of Tom Floyd's Captain Spectre And The Lightning Legion, advertised as "the midwest's own pulp hero", is very much similar to Joshua Dysart's Captain Gravity—both being heavily influenced by the comics about Buck Rogers and Flash Gordon.

Imelda Ada Okwori whose stage name is Imelda J, has recently been tagged musician Jaywon's girlfriend. As she dispels that rumour, there has also been an ongoing accusation of her dating dating Gov Gabriel Torwua Suswam of Benue State, Nigeria, is still spreading like a wild fire.
In a recent interview with Vanguard, Imelda says she isn't dating the married Governor, however, admitted the Governor's wife snubbed her publicly at a function. Below is an excerpt of the interview….ENJOY!
Why the news about you is always about dating one person or the other?
You see, like I said, I am a very friendly person. I can't change that about me. Maybe it's one of the reasons. I am yet to discover why. And maybe because I am human or maybe they expect me to flaunt my boyfriend or brag about having a relationship. And because they don't see all of that, they assume and conclude on my behalf as soon as they see me getting close to any man.
There is even a rumour that you are dating Governor Suswam?
You see, I have already answered that in your previous question. I don't like talking about this because I respect my State governor a lot and he believes in my dream.
I have been running away from talking to the press concerning this matter. I wonder how this rumour is still spreading. I have nothing to do with him.
He is more like a father figure to me, especially in politics. He does not even have any idea of how much I admire and respect some of his leadership qualities. I hardly see him and most of the time we meet, it is by coincidence. Please, I will be grateful if the press can stop asking me henceforth.
What happened between you and Yemisi Suswam when you met recently at an event?
Here you go again. What did you hear?
We learnt she ignored you at the event!
That was true. But I am not bothered
How did it happened and which event was that?
That was during a performance few years ago. It was the celebration of my State governor's victory in the court. I wasn't the only one who performed there. What she did was obvious, that a lot of people noticed it, even then I tried my best not to let it weigh me down, many kept calling and condemning the act.
I chose to move on and gave it a blank ear because a clean conscience fears no accusation or anything. I don't want to talk much on this. I am surprised that people are still talking about it as if it just happened. It is well oh. Abeg, I love my life oh.
What do you think made her not to respond to your greeting?
I don't like jumping into conclusions. So I do not know. I can't say anything concerning that again, please. If I say one thing now, someone else will misunderstand me. Just forget that matter please.
Are you presently in any relationship and how is his reaction to all these romance tales of yours?
Imelda J, from the day I made up my mind to do music professionally, I also made up my mind to face the consequences. It is a sacrifice. The road is not as easy as people think.
Just like every other average man, you don't expect him to be happy about it. Even if he chooses to understand, I know he feels hurt sometimes.

"You might need surgery again." He said for the second time after taking maybe an hour listening to my history. This was the first time I met with my new cardiologist; he had no current tests; he hadn't done any CT scans, MRIs, ultrasounds, etc. on me. Maybe that's the part that scared me the most.
At thirteen-year-olds, I underwent my third surgery to help my breathing situation. At eighteen-years-old, I was greeted with the line, "Wow you have a large medical history for your age!" the first time seeing a new pain management specialist versus the normal "Hi, my name is…" Now, at nineteen-years-old, I had not thought the mention or surgery would phase me but it sure did.
I remember the last time I got the news that I needed to schedule my next surgery. I hadn't understood why tears were forming in my eyes. I hadn't understood why it felt as if my heart was breaking as I watched my mother melt into tears and breakdown. I remember only panicking because she was. In my mind, it wasn't a huge deal that I was going through surgery for the third time. But, that day that I saw my cardiologist, it was the mirror opposite of years ago.
One night, I just broke into tears and cried until I fell asleep, exhausted from weeping. I had wanted someone close to me to just hold me and tell me everything was going to be okay. One evening, I was briefly mentioning the doctor appointment to a friend and couldn't stop the tears from forming in my eyes. One night, I fought back the tears as much as I could as a close friend stood by my side but the second someone came and asked if I was ok, I broke.
Day after day, the daily tasks of life seem petty in comparison to the thoughts that continue to run through my mind. But, what did I expect, this has always been my life…

Samsung's latest marketing stunt will be to completely take over one of the busiest airport terminals in the world.
Starting Monday, Heathrow's Terminal 5 will be rebranded "Terminal Samsung Galaxy S5" to promote Samsung's latest flagship phone, the Galaxy S5. The takeover will last two weeks, the company said.
Samsung didn't say how much it's spending to take over Heathrow's Terminal 5, but it has to be a boatload.
A lot of Samsung's success has been attributed to it's massive marketing budget. It bought its way into a lot of high profile events like the Oscars (remember the Samsung-sponsored Ellen selfie?), the World Cup, and the Olympics. It also has a host of celebrity endorsers like LeBron James.
Samsung's big marketing budget reportedly has Apple so scared that it wants to hire a "buzz marketing manager" to get products in celebrities' hands.

Tragedy struck on a freeway near Palm Springs recently, in what is being described as the only the latest instance of a troubling trend. A bus being driven by the owner and operator of a small transportation company crashed into a tractor trailer while heading for a casino near the Salton Sea, killing 12 passengers and the driver.
The crash itself is heartbreaking, with the victims consisting of mostly elderly individuals headed for a night off at a tiny casino away from their regular routines. In the blink of an eye, many families lost someone they love. But adding to this heartbreak is the growing trend of crashes that fit the profile of this one -- small, independent operator catering to mostly lower-income patrons, shuttling them to off-brand casinos in out-of-way locations.
The National Transportation Safety Board has begun to investigate any common links between this crash and several others with similar profiles, to see if any links can be found in their causal factors. Because many of these crashes, including this latest one outside Palm Springs are suffered by small operators, regulatory agencies struggle to ensure that they are abiding by all the safety regulations that are easier to track with larger companies. The causes of the crash are still being investigated.
No matter the how or the why, automobile fatalities are a harsh blow to those who lose someone they love. If you been injured or lost someone you love in an automobile crash, you deserve to have excellent representation fight to recover compensation for your losses. With the guidance of an experienced, empathetic attorney, you can pursue justice confidently.
