Digital Life: Yes, it's really all app-ening. Now your TV's getting smarter
'There's an app for that" has become the new punchline to geek jokes.
Can't decide whether to have Chinese or Mexican for dinner? There's an app for that. Worried that mole on your arm could be skin cancer? There's an app for that (no really, there is, it's called Skin Scan). My girlfriend left me -- there's an app for that. Well, maybe not the last one.
Three years after Apple launched the App Store for iPhone, even your granny has heard of apps, and any smartphone worth its salt is stuffed with them.
Now the new frontier for apps is your tellybox. The first tentative efforts initially appeared in high-end TVs last year, with the likes of Sony, Panasonic and Samsung incorporating internet-connected widgets such as weather and news.
But this year Samsung goes the whole hog with its Smart TV range, which promises a swathe of smartphone-like apps and full access to the internet with its web browser.
Mercifully, this tech doesn't feature only in the eyewateringly expensive top of the range, which runs as high as €5,000, but has trickled down to 32-inch sets starting at €700, too.
Digital Life tried out Samsung's €1,750 D8000, a sophisticated Smart TV just 8mm thick boasting remarkable picture quality and a wealth of features, including 3D and Saorview.
But we're here for the apps, and Samsung groups everything neatly into one screen it calls Smart Hub. Once you've connected the TV to the internet via your WiFi or Ethernet, you can download dozens of apps such as Facebook, Google Maps, Twitter, internet radio and BBC News, play simple games, such as Sudoku, and stream video from the likes of YouTube and Vimeo. You can even Skype with an optional €150 camera.
Samsung also does its bit to push 3D with a video app offering a welcome collection of cartoons, documentaries and trailers in the third dimension.
None of the apps costs a bean, except the so-so Acetrax movie service, which offers a small selection of Hollywood hits to rent or buy.
If the apps don't grab you, there's always the full web browser which, thanks to its Flash compatibility, also allows access to services, such as RTÉ Player and TV3 Catch-up.
The fly in the ointment for Smart Hub, though, is the difficulty of navigating apps and internet via the standard remote, which proves slow and clunky. Free Samsung apps for iPhone and android can control the telly, but make the process only marginally easier -- Samsung has much work to do here.
Overall, though, you're still looking at the smartest TV on the market. The choice of apps is small, true, and they feel redundant if you have an iPad or laptop to hand. But we've come a long way from dumb tellies showing just two channels in black and white.
Game On
Child of Eden
Like a maestro conducting a great orchestra, your hands are your weapons in Child of Eden. Using the motion-sensing of the Kinect camera, you guide an aiming reticule to target waves of a 'virus' invading a digital archive soundtracked by a pounding electronic beat.
Yes, it can only be the new game from the fevered imagination of Tetsuya Mizuguchi, creator of previous rhythm classics such as Rez and Lumines.
With an imperious sweep of the hand, your aim locks on to the target and another flick of the wrist sends a missile or laser pulse to atomise the invaders, resulting in a furious kaleidoscope of sound and colour.
As you duck and weave on rails through mazy tunnels, the Kinect control system feels both empowering yet at times frustrating as the camera fails to keep up. But it's so much more enjoyable than the alternative control method of the gamepad.
It's all over a little too soon but if you have a Kinect, Child of Eden packs enough fresh ideas and visual fireworks for it to be unmissable.
Dungeon Siege III
A dungeon crawler injected with the storytelling firepower of the people who brought us Fallout New Vegas? Yes, that would be worth playing.
But the plot of DSIII turns out to be the least engaging part of this comfortingly familiar take on the classic Diablo.
With a choice of four playable characters (the usual suspects -- warrior, mage, and so on), the game loses little time in throwing you into endless corridors filled with monsters to be slaughtered and loot to be collected.
Combat is fast and furious thanks to co-op play and there are graphical treats aplenty on your adventures underground. When you come up for air in the towns, a host of side quests interwoven with sly humour keep the gameplay from getting stale.
But you never shake the sense of deja-vu that says it's all been done better before.
White Knight Chronicles II
A sequel to a Final Fantasy wannabe that no one was asking for, WKCII commits many of the sins of its predecessor -- ponderous, elongated cut-scenes, poor acting and confusing controls.
This time, even the ability to metamorphise into a 50ft-high knight cannot save this generic effort from mid-table mediocrity.
Bits and Bytes
Food for thought
> Two new apps worth a mention this week -- the ubiquitous Neven Maguire gets his mug onto the iPad/iPhone with a collection of more than 60 recipes and a shopping list function. The app costs €5.
Also just out is iSpySculpture, a €3 app which introduces you to a collection of 50 famous sculptures around Dublin, all within a 1km radius of the city centre.
G-unning for a 'like'
> Just when you thought we had all overdosed on social networking, along comes Google with another bash at matching the likes of Facebook and Twitter.
With failures such as Orkut, Buzz and Wave behind it, Google will be hoping the new service called Google+ will have more success.
It allows users to share photos, messages and video chats with their friends.
Initially available to only a small number of users worldwide, Google+ has its work cut out catching up to Facebook, which has more than 500 million members.
Sky's no limits
> Sky is revamping its online catch-up service, rebranding the Sky Player as Sky Go and giving subscribers free access to more than 30 live channels on a range of devices from iPad to laptop.
You will be able to watch two different channels on different devices with just the one subscription, making that €76 a month for the top package a little easier to swallow.
The change goes live from tomorrow.
> The winner of the Child of Eden competition was James Glynn.

What a gift this day was. I can't stop thinking about this picture, taken yesterday, Columbus Day 2015 from the top of Mt. Abraham, Maine's 2nd highest peak. Firstly it's rare the boys are actually looking at the camera, so thank you iPhone IoS burst feature and the husband who found it. Second the weather was just amazing, almost as gorgeous as the day the boys' sister was born some 24 years ago last week. But most of all, because this picture is my talisman for the days like today when it's all work, or rain, or the clouds obscure the way.
Autism gave me the mountains, which I always loved but thanks to the boys, they've loved me back.
Autism gave me a different trail than my other kind of exceptional child. The autism trail is rocky, hard and long, like the talus field we crossed made of the kind of rocks we sit upon in the picture, only smaller – for a half-mile of it. You look up at the steepness and say, My God. – But like yesterday and like this picture, some days the rewards bathe you like warm sunlight – and somehow the road isn't as daunting as you feared. Those days more than make up for the ones where you had to turn back, or you swore at the universe as you bit your lip til it bled, or wondered why this curse was foisted on you. In those gifts of a moment, you meet your goal, and that's great – but the best part is that you know you're the master of the trail, and not vice-versa.
Most of all autism gave me these young men – these glorious, challenged but exceptional young men. No they aren't destined for Harvard since they can't read. They may struggle enough to butter their toast or orient their shirt front and back. But the joy in those smiles above fills the skies, and all who are sensitive enough to see, and feel what is radiating from my guys. It's pure love. I like to believe it's love for me, and I think it is, but I think it's also the joy of slogging through the metaphoric trees of life and emerging above treeline (Will's favorite) to the reward you earned, and thoroughly savor. For kids of this profile, so much of everyday living is just such hard work. Bursting into the bright beyond is so energizing. The knowledge that you can do it, whatever "it" may be, is almost as powerful as the tectonic force that created those mountains. And it's as limitless as the skies.
Perhaps that's the best gift of all -not only the love they bring to me, but the capacity they can bring to the great beyond. We sat seemingly on top of the world this day, and felt the mountain magic as the foliage lit the trees on fire. In reality – perhaps it is us, creating that fire.

"Designed and Made" by Gill from "Pen Lady Downunder"
Gill started working with polymer clay back in July 2014 and quickly found it an amazing medium to work with. Gill uses Kato Polymer clay which is an artists quality clay and has a very unique smell that she loves. Gill says there is so much you can do with clay but she has found a love for the making of millefiori canes and then turning these into beautiful pens and pen blanks. Gill makes all her own canes and then slices them into tissue thick slices which are then applied to a sheet of thin clay before then being applied to the brass tubes of various different pen kits. Each and every individual pen blank is then baked in an oven to cure the clay.
Having made some of Gill's polymer pen blanks here are my tips to help you when making your one of a kind polymer clay pen.
1. Gills polymer blanks are slightly over size compared to the length of the tube so gently and carefully square the ends of the tube/s.
2. Mount the blanks either between centres or onto your pen mandrel using the appropriate bushings and ensuring they are at the correct end if the kit as different sized bushings may be required at each end of the pen blank.
3. Once the blank/s are mounted, you will need to remove a very small amount of polymer clay by either using very sharp turning tools or by wet sanding to the finished size of the bushings. Being careful not to sand through the polymer clay pattern. Do not allow excessive heat build up during the sanding process.
4. When wet sanding it is recommended to sand correctly using very high grit levels such as Micro-Mesh sanding pads. Your Polymer clay blank if sanded correctly will finish with a very nice sheen. However for a high gloss finish you may CA finish over the polymer clay. Very light buffing will also achieve a better finish.

Qatar's Mutaz Barshim nominated for world's best male athlete
Silver Olympic medalist Mutaz Barshim has been shortlisted as one of the world's top male athletes.
The high-jumping hero is among 10 men nominated for the 2017 World Athletes of the Year.
The award is given out annually by the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF).
Other people up for the honor include British distance runner Mo Farah and American pole vaulter Sam Kendricks.
Barshim has had a blockbuster winning streak in 2017, clinching a gold medal for Qatar at the World Athletics Championships in August.
According to the IAAF, he has been undefeated in all 11 competitions this year.
And last year, he took home Qatar's first silver Olympic medal in Rio.
Vote online
Fans can help boost Barshim's chances of winning by voting online.
This can be done by liking him on Facebook or retweeting this post on Twitter.
The IAAF said public votes will count for 25 percent of the final result, with IAAF officials' feedback determining the rest of the decision.
Voting closes at 2pm Doha time on Oct. 16. On that day, three male and three female finalists will be declared.
The winners will then be announced live at the IAAF Athletic Awards 2017 on Nov. 24 in Monaco.

13 Feb '15 ~ QofDay ~ SUPERSTITION
Friday the 13th is only bad luck if you choose it to be.
How do you handle superstitions?
I like the definition:
"A superstition is only a superstition, when it is not a superstition."
In other words, if you can acknowledge that the belief has little or no ground in reality, then it is not a superstition, it is only when you believe it to be a truth (when in reality it isn't) that it is a superstition.
And I acknowledge all the truth in what Bhatta says, confidence is most important in performance. How we come by that confidence is in one sense irrelevant – it is the confidence that works. So belief does improve performance in this sense.

Jerusalem Post's talented team of journalists provides insight into their work presented in the opinion section. This section highlights the beliefs and values that experienced writers who are witnessing the Middle East turmoil unfold. Their first hand encounters with world leaders have shaped their opinions and world views to be shared on this page.
Israel-EU relations: An annual assessment
Undermining the capital's historical and cultural heritage.
In this heady atmosphere, a core group of thinkers focused on cementing an Azerbaijani national identity.
It seems the Israeli Tax Authority has become fed up with the Israeli tax residency tests under the current law.
The only thing necessary for the triumph of antisemitism is for journalists to do nothing, to say nothing – unless its politically convenient.
In the wake of this devastation in our community, we — as parents, educators and community leaders — must address the emotional and psychological impact such incidents can have on our children.
Aspects of the executive order promoted feverish denunciation by Jewish left-wingers, who vehemently objected to Jewishness being attributed to nationhood in any way.
There were no casualties in either attack. They were the latest in a string of similar incidents which have taken place on US facilities in Iraq since the beginning of the year.
Investors tend to have very short memories.
The result is a totally broken reality. Take, for example, the grief associated with prescription drug cocktails (multiple drugs on a regular basis).
The tax law allows you to consider writing off bad customer debts and make reasonable provision for doubtful debts.
The anti-Israel Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement (BDS) illustrates how we have turned a tactical threat that does not endanger Israel's security or prosperity into an existential threat.
Equating Zionism with white supremacy and implying that American Zionists (the vast majority of Jews) are complicit in supporting a racist state is antisemitic.
The lack of a functioning, stable government has led us to a historic blunder.
Revel, a professor emeritus at the Weizmann Institute, developed Rebif using a formidable Jewish characteristic and a particularly important body part: a new-born male baby's foreskin.
BDS bills itself as "a Palestinian-led movement for freedom, justice and equality," yet it's true aim is to displace Israelis,
Jew-hatred is surging in the streets, even in North America, yet this has neither commanded mainstream media attention nor inspired popular outrage.
Inspiration from our first prime minister as we head off – yet again – to choose our next.
There's a time to shut up and do, and a time to send a threatening message.
Movers and shakers in Israeli society.
My Word: If this is art, I'll eat my words – or something.
From Netanyahu's perspective it is a gamble worth taking. But what about the public's perspective? What is best for the State of Israel?
The fact that groups like Students for Justice in Palestine went ballistic over this stroke of genius makes perfect sense.
The time has come to give feedback to each UN ambassador from the major donor nations that contribute $1.2 billion each year to UNRWA.
With new people, the question would inevitably arise: "How can you help us here? The situation on American campuses is frightening, and is only getting worse."

At this point, Jenny must decide whether to play the queen, the percentage play, or play low, which works if East holds the king doubleton.
The significant gap in how American Jews and Israelis perceived the speech requires Israelis to reevaluate Trump's statements and understand it through the eyes of American Jewry.
I'm not surprised, and neither should you be, by Jew-hatred disguised as anti-Zionism
In addition to Brexit, there is another issue – just as large, just as important, that also stands before the voters: Jew-hatred. Plain and direct, there is no other way to say it.
Among endangered minorities in Europe, it is mainly the Jews who are killed twice

Terrorists, murderers, rapists and tyrant-dictators like Assad of Syria and Khamenei of Iran absolutely deserve our hatred.

Mayors are the best line of defense for this kind of hate because we are handling the relevant services, whether they are education or enforcement.
The international community supports and respects in an unequivocal and principled manner the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Azerbaijan.
Beyond parallel struggles to counter Iran-backed radical Islamic groups that threaten each, Israel and Saudi Arabia also share similar strategic dilemmas and operational threats.
While European leaders pay lip service to the sacrifices of Kurdish forces, they refuse to stop Erdogan while simultaneously stressing the need for Kurds to continue fighting on the West's behalf.
Israel's system presupposes that all governments will be coalitions, but no immutable law states that democratic governments must be coalitions.
Living a Jewish life in the Diaspora is always a balancing act, but never with as many intricacies, decisions and sidesteps as during the winter holiday season.
Every time there is an Instagram story about Israel, a vast majority of comments are in praise of Netanyahu and Israel.
Actual policy making in a liberal democracy is based on sophisticated nuances.
Eventually these questions are bound to come up before the High Court of Justice, which will hopefully unravel the Gordian knot.

Trump's remarks smacked of classic stereotypes of Jews.
The sad truth is that Netanyahu is not a man to be trusted

When US President Donald Trump withdrew peacekeeping troops from Northern Syria last month, he executed the latest in a string of historic betrayals by the West towards the Kurdish people.
From BDS to a re-election that Donald Trump does not win, consider the following scenarios ...
"There are bad people and good people," she remembers. "I was saved in France by good people."
Today we are operating in a very different philanthropic climate.
As much damage as Trump is doing to the nation today, his most lasting harm will be the generation of judges who will still have their jobs long after we've tried to forget him.
Imposing a 1% surcharge on tickets to be dedicated to reforestation would be more intelligent.
"Black Friday" is a shopping spree, encouraging people to flock to malls and the Internet, to shop.
Then again, what's bad about free shipping and no tax? It's not like its driving Israel into the sea amid a bloodbath that the Arabs have threatened since the 1940s.
His style of diplomacy was first put on display in 2017, when his bodyguards beat up peaceful protesters in Washington, DC.
One possible conclusion is that Israel is plagued by the existence of "parallel realities" – one experienced by the general public, and the other by its elected leadership.
Eroding the bipartisan consensus on Israel runs the risk of turning support of an ally into a partisan exercise.
The international community must acknowledge their return is an obligation, not a bargaining chip.

In the back of everyone's mind there will be a constant and nagging question mark over what happens next. Everyone that is, except for Iran.
Whether Netanyahu's political acumen and personal ambition enable him to survive the current storm seems to be questionable at the moment.
Middle Israel: Neyanyahu's strategic asset is, for most Israelis, a strategic liability
Political Affairs: Immunity means he won't go on trial, which means he won't be convicted, and that's the ideal situation for Netanyahu.

Ok here the deal.
got a new card for my system(XFX ATI HD4870 512mb),instaleed it on a clean system,updated latest drivers,after about two weeks im noticing random restarts when playing games(fallout3) and watching movies,this is very frusrating as its a pretty new card.before buying this i replaced my aging psu,an antec 500w basiq model,i got a powerful silverstone 750w element one to make sure my card was getting enuff juice.
my pc is virus free and all settings are on stock,i dont dabble in OC'ing etc...
any ideas so i can get back to gaming,?
im really hoping my card is not on the fritz,took me ages to save up for it
I think it's overheating issues. If the card overheats the pc will not restart itself but if the cpu overheats yes the system will restart itself. Start by checking cpu temp in bios. Also when u are playing games use third part software like speedfan to monitor the cpu temp. What is the gpu temp.

Process Free Plates
Multiprint Litho Underpins Environmental Ethos With KODAK SONORA XP Process Free Plates
First MEAF printer to improve sustainable production with Kodak's green plate technology
Multiprint Litho, Johannesburg, is the first operation in the Middle East and Africa to enhance its sustainability by switching plate production to the new KODAK SONORA XP Process Free Plate.
Fundamental to this decision is a very strong environmentally conscientious ethos.
It was this commitment to continued sustainability improvements that led the company to begin using KODAK SONORA XP Process Free Plates. The plates offered high-quality thermal imaging and the complete elimination of plate processing. "Sonora XP Plates help increase productivity, simplify operation and remove costs by reducing the number of steps required for platemaking."
The plates offer enhancements in both imaging speed and latent image contrast over previous generation technology, while providing the same resolution, reliability, accuracy and repeatability as traditionally processed thermal plates. They also improve stability and consistency of print due to the elimination of processing variations from removing the processor.
Sustainability on a plate - Enviromentally Friendly
While quality is paramount, equally important is the sustainable benefits delivered. The attributes of the new plate enable the company to pass on significant benefits to customers in terms of environmental responsibility along with increased productivity and stronger plate performance. Multiprint Litho is constantly aware of our environmental responsibility and the KODAK SONORA XP Process Free Plates have allowed us to eliminate the process chemistry.
The plates are run on a KODAK MAGNUS 800 Platesetter installed in January 2012.
Natural choice
When Multiprint Litho decided to be environmentally friendly, we knew it would be a process that doesn't happen overnight. It's a process we started some time ago. It began with our printing inks, and the entire plant now runs on vegetable inks (to ISO standard). Together with using FSC--certified paper wherever possible, Multiprint Litho is now reaching the stage of eco friendliness it always hoped to achieve.

September 10, 2019 - 02:32 PM
"Ask Kari" is a monthly, Question & Answer feature from Kari Negri. Kari has two decades of property management experience, is a featured speaker at many industry trade shows, such as AAGLA's annual trade show, and is the CEO of SKY Properties, Inc. in Los Angeles.
At the most recent "Shake Rattle and Roll" AAGLA trade show, many attendees of my talk asked for a copy of my notes on avoiding financial disaster. So for this month's "Ask Kari" article, I promised them I would have my notes printed. Here you go:
The only thing worse than a vacancy is an eviction and bad/non-paying tenants could lead to financial disaster. You will chase away good people, incur attorney's costs, plus you will receive no rent and you will incur their utility expense – water at a minimum and probably end up with damages. To avoid this, it is imperative that you rent to qualified residents. In fact, the only way to make money and avoid disaster in this business is to rent to good residents and to do everything in your power to qualify them. For every adult, check their Photo ID, Proof of valid income. If resident is self-employed they need to bring tax returns.
Three bank statements – see if income matches paystub and check to see if rent is paid on time
Social Security card/# or green card, passport, work permit (normally have tax id if they have permit)
Call the previous landlord or two
Meet animal if allowed and require renter's insurance and signed agreement
Run: Credit report, Criminal record, & a UD report (eviction)
At a minimum Apartment Association AAGLA credit check like the Quad check (includes 2 credit reports, eviction report, and bad checks)
Require a utility bill with current address to verify residence on application
Make sure they do not owe $$ on basic services such as: utility bills (DWP/Gas Co), phone, and cable
Keep good residents – don't give them a reason to leave.
Take care of routine maintenance immediately #1 reason residents move is a lack of maintenance
If you have an on-site manager make sure they are a good one and are giving great customer service
Accept maintenance requests via email and respond to them with date and time of service.
How many of you have one crazy tenant in your building? Don't let crazy or bad tenants drive your good tenants out. Act quickly by documenting everything and having your notices sent by an attorney when you think you have enough to start a UD.
Tenant retention can be as simple as showing tenants you genuinely care. Be responsive. Know how to get messages to your tenants quickly by texting or calling them things like the water is turned off for an emergency or any important information regarding their unit. Statistics say that most residents prefer texts and emails rather than be called.
Keep a schedule of when your leases expire – approach tenant 90 days out and offer them an improvement in their unit such as carpet cleaning, fresh paint, a floor upgrade (if you would do anyways for a vacancy), granite counter tops, a/c in the second bedroom etc. for signing another year lease if they are a good tenant. By doing this, you can do improvements to your building and keep a good residents – this makes good financial sense.
Do not give a rent raise if their rent is already above the market & raise rent if they are below market or they are a difficult or bad tenant or neighbor.
Make sure the outside of your building is maintained and very clean – something they are proud of.
You want to be the best building on the block – make sure your manager and vendors are doing their job.
Good Management Company and Manager – Do not hire a management company with no experience.
Resident referral – careful with several residents from 1 family because if 1 moves you will likely lose all of them and this could definitely lead to a financial disaster.
Ask departing residents if there were any problems. It is always good to know why your resident is moving and they may be more honest on way out.
Do a market survey or you are wasting valuable time! Your pricing must be competitive.
72% of all residents start their search on-line and Craigslist generates 60% of all calls. Be sure to repost regularly and look at other apartment ads that are close to your building both in proximity and amenities. Make sure that the title of your ads makes potential residents want to click it as opposed to building next door.
Make sure you are offering a quality product – look at your vacancy and anticipate what tenants want or need (like a/c in the Valley).
Don't panic and lower rent, stay in market. No crazy specials, and remember if you price too low that someone may not even consider looking at it thinking they want something worth more.
For example, if I were looking for a $1000 apartment – I would not even look at one for $800.
Answer the phone – 40% of all prospect calls go unanswered – can you afford that? Have a good outgoing message no more than 1 minute and return all prospect calls!
Know what tenants want – the basics. If you don't keep up on trends in design, in the long run it will cost you money. Don't be too trendy so you can adapt to new things easily. Some very basic current trends:
Pet Friendly and most tenants have no issue with paying pet rent.
Make sure they know everything upfront – no surprises
Ability to look at apartment and community on their phone
Want to see same day
On-line applications
Ability to do Online Payments and lease renewals
Give Renters and Tenants what they want go GREEN and do yourself a favor by lowering your utility costs.
In an article I read, it stated that renters want to live in green communities 86% or 9 in 10 Americans. Surprisingly, cost efficient is not the #1 reason they choose a community – environmental stewardship is. 3x as many renters compared to non-renters say it is absolutely necessary and more than ½ of renters are willing to pay at least $100 more in monthly rent in order to make an effort at being green.
Check your utility bills to make sure there are no spikes in usage
During your 6-month inspection of smoke alarms required by state law – use this as an opportunity to check all plumbing.
The American Water Works Association says that 20% of all toilets are leaking at any 1 time often undetected. Replace all pre-1994 without question DWP has a program where you can get them for free.
Think about installing water conserving and energy efficient products, you'll put more money in your pocket which increases NOI and enhances your properties value. You can also increase your occupancy by attracting eco-conscious residents help the environment a win win.
Utility charges cannot be added to current leases under rent control; however, incoming tenants can be given pro-rata share of bill per the RUBS companies – check with your attorney. It is a fact that usage is often reduced up to 22% when cost is passed through to user.
Cost efficient bulbs – CFL light bulbs will cost you 75% less to run than standard light bulbs and will last 10x longer, water savers (low flow shower heads are now also available free from the Gas co) – you can get advice and free items from the Gas Co (socalgas.com/multifamily) and DWP
There are many products on the market that claim to save energy or water – make sure that you try it out before changing everything out in your building. We have found that many of them do not work so be careful in this area.
Recycling is mandatory! 70% of all trash is recyclable. City of LA 213-473-4142 or firstname.lastname@example.com Fewer trash pickups during the week can save money for everyone with blue bins and free materials for residents about what is acceptable to put in blue bins – educate your tenants and in doing so you can be environmentally friendly but it won't help you (well except your own conscious) if you don't inform your tenants of your green habits.
Try Energy Star rated appliances and energy Efficient Washer and Dryers – you can look on the Gas Co or DWP website for what qualifies. Rebates are advertised through DWP but almost impossible to get.
Inspect and clean dryer ducts regularly to avoid the build up of lint that can cause clothes to dry slower, higher energy bills, overworked dryer breaking down, water collecting in duct and dripping inside walls or onto floors. A clogged dryer vent can also create a huge fire hazard.
Master metered building put a/c's on timers – GET GREEN!!
Draught resistant landscape – check for free programs and/or rebates.
Make sure that you are not overwatering and know that you can often change sprinkler heads and save a lot of money.
Consider incorporation of all the above: ½ of renters feel that energy efficiency and environmentally friendly features are of importance when selecting which apartment to rent. Communities/buildings emphasizing that they are either working to go green or are already implementing green programs can gain the favor or both current and prospective renters.
If you want Higher Occupancy, use common sense BE ORGANIZED
Make sure that you sign any new lease contingent on current tenant moving out on the date given on their 30 day (ask attorney for wording).
Make sure that the current tenant is okay with you showing the unit (or you have video of a similar unit they can look at).
Last make sure that the current tenant is neat and tidy, as most will overlook a lot but not cleanliness.
Collect rent on time, serve 3-day notices immediately and evict within a reasonable amount of time probably between 10 and 15 days. If you are going to listen to a tenant's story of why they are late and when they can pay then be sure to verify story when possible – not recommended.
Problem or low paying tenants –In non rent control you cans simply raise rent or give them notice but in rent control buildings nonpayment is an opportunity to turn a bad situation around. A troublesome tenant should be served immediately if they do not pay rent.
Do not spend too much on vacancies, be ready for a Code Enforcement inspection, do preventative maintenance, and have a long-term plan for large capitol improvements – this should include a capitol reserve.
Turn vacancy quickly to reduce expense – that means being very organized (average cost $4300 per unit) – line up everything ahead of time. Know what products you intend to use and have them on hand.
You can often make a pretty good list if your tenant requests the two-week walk through that we are required to do.
Hire reliable venders that have legit license, a W-9 on file and work comp. & liability and you know to be reliable. Poor quality work and labor is extremely costly. Had a client re-pipe his building but contractor used substandard copper that is now leaking. Hired a roofer who promised to use a good quality material but was surprised when I showed up to check (his bid was too low). Spending a lot of money on a large capitol improvement and getting poor quality of work could lead to a financial disaster.
Hire a Great Management Company – A bad management company will never achieve higher occupancy or lower expenses for you and can cost you thousands.
Get bids on everything until you really understand what something should cost.
Educate and train your on-site manger give them the tools to save you $$ and watch on-site repairs to make sure they are fair, etc.
You need great customer service, quick response to maintenance and problems, accurate and regular market surveys.
Make sure that you have done a credit check if employee will collect money and a criminal check on any employee that you directly hire and ask your vendors to do the same. Keep current on basic employment law. Your manager is an employee not an outside contractor – A MANGER CONTRACT IS MANDATORY PER STATE LAW – time sheets are MANDATORY to back up their hours. Consider wage and hour insurance but it is not always easy to get.
Trying to defer maintenance can end up costing you more $$$ and may even cause you vacancy or bad on-line reviews. Check everything at 6-month smoke detector test.
Make sure everything works on the property the way it is supposed to (gates, laundry machines, pool).
Eliminate any reason not to rent at your property or to move out by keeping up with basic maintenance.
Have a solid plan and a financial plan to repair and replace plumbing. Insulate hot pipes.
Always have a paper trail – this is a litigious business and we want to always have documentation. An eviction can now be very expensive if they ask for a jury trial – be ready for this.
Apartment Owners who make security a high priority can keep their tenants longer, protect property values, and reduce maintenance and repair costs. Renters will pay more for a sense of security of course you can never guarantee security or safety in any way. Have gates that work and develop a good relationship with your SLO (Senior Lead Officer).
1st be ready to take care of your own family – have a plan for kids and pets for an earthquake that takes place during the day for example. Read this article and then when you go home take a sturdy pair of shoes and a flashlight and put them in a bag secured to the leg of your bed. YOU MUST HAVE ENOUGH WATER ON HAND TO LAST AT LEAST A WEEK FOR EVERY PERSON AND/OR PET IN YOUR HOME.
Know your neighbors, as you will likely need to rely on them during a natural disaster.
Keep important phone #'s in your car and have an out of state contract.
Text will likely work better than calling someone.
Make sure you important paperwork is backed up in a separate location and preferably to a site out of state so that you have access if something major happens here.
If you have a building that is older have it looked at for stability – sometimes some minor additions could mean a huge difference. Those minor adjustments and costs could save your retirement fund.
Give your tenants websites that will guide them to having on hand what they need in case of a disaster. They will need WATER make sure they know that.
Consider having your on-site manager or yourself CERT trained, keeping emergency supplies like blankets, first aide, Tyvek and staple gun or plywood to cover broken windows at your building and also WATER – see Blue Can (bluecanwater.com)
Know how to turn off gas and water – make sure someone at your building knows how to do this also. I have the tool to turn off on a chain next to gas valve.
Consider making arrangements with a glass company and/or a contractor to go to your building after a disaster even if you don't call them afterwards. DO NOT EVER HIRE SOMEONE OFF THE STREET OR SIGN SOMETHING FOR REPAIRS WITHOUT THE CONSENT OF YOUR ATTORNEY AND INSURANCE COMPANY.
Keep fire extinguishers up to date – most likely problem after an earthquake could very well be fire.
Please understand that it could be days after a natural disaster before you can get help – try to be ready for that if at all possible.
An earthquake in southern California is inevitable, but it does not have to be a disaster.

Wetherspoons. The land of hope and glory. The place where dreams of cheap pints and burgers come true.
It is a pub chain that we all know and love and so the news that they are opening an 11,000 square foot 'super pub' on the beach is pretty huge.
The new Royal Victoria Pavilion is set to be housed in a former seafront casino and dance hall that has been empty since 2008 in Ramsgate, Kent.
The new pub will be Wetherspoons' biggest one yet and it might even be the largest one in the UK although this is yet to be verified.
Costing £4 million, a lot of the Grade II-listed building's original features such as its circular windows and high ceiling are going to be restored.
It will be rather grand looking with elegant terraces that will overlook the seafront in addition to an enormous, magnificent staircase.
Wetherspoons chief executive John Hutson told KentLive:
We are looking forward to opening our new pub in Ramsgate.
The former Pavilion is an iconic site in the town and we will be restoring it to its former beauty and making sure that it once again plays an important part in the town.
We are confident that people in the town will welcome the new pub and hopefully it will act as a catalyst for other businesses to invest in the area.
We believe the new pub will be popular with a wide range of people.
As if cheap pints wasn't good enough news for the locals, the new pub will also create 150 jobs.
The Royal Victorian Pavilion is set to open August 29.

With that said, we are hoping to book one dine and donate per month with the HSNMB. Thanks again!"
"For its 30th Anniversary season (2017-18), the Long Bay Symphony included digital billboards in its marketing budget. Coastal Outdoor has done a great job with designing the boards. We definitely saw an increase in ticket purchases following postings of specific concerts. With the success billboards have brought us, we will continue to include them in our marketing plan!"
"They know marketing! We met with them initially and gave them almost no ideas or direction and they asked us to trust them. In a short time they created a unique marketing strategy for our billboard advertising. It was simple, but informative; and at the same time creative and memorable. We have already had countless people calling us about our billboard: friends, family, potential customers and even our competition. MD Roofing & Windows will be Coastal Outdoor's customers for life."
"The Wedding Showcase was a huge success! Our boards with Coastal Outdoor Advertising were so well recognized that our guests actually complimented our advertising campaign! There is no doubt that partnering with Coastal Outdoor drove attendance to our event and we cannot wait to work with you all again on the next showcase! We like working with the best!"
"WOW, you are amazing! Thanks to you this community is exploding with support for baby Stone and the American Heart Association. I was thinking we'd receive two to three boards, but you blew us away with ten. Going forward we will be coming to you for all of our digital and bulletin billboards!"
"Thank you for everything this past season. You all are the definition of a true partner and I sincerely appreciate your efforts. Thanks for helping make our 20th anniversary successful. 2019, here we come!"
"You guys are awesome! Everything you promised you did and on time. George in sales and the design team are first class. We launched a new phone number and a new web address and it created calls in two weeks of digital billboards. The competition took notice. The hotels in town even began calling us on a more regular basis and we definitely added new transportation partners. The "drivers wanted" ad posted for only 48 hours and we had over 25 applicants! It ran simultaneously with three other billboards, so the number of applicants was amazing! You can count on future business from us."

Reported by Santosh Jagdev
Bhubaneswar, Aug 23:
Commissionerate Police today arrested a person for allegedly cheating a managing director (MD) of a mineral company based in Keonjhar in northern Odisha.
The accused, identified as Niranjan Mallick, was the owner of a city-based hotel who had taken Rs 9.75 crore as advance from the MD of Keonjhar based Priti Pragyan Minerals Pvt Ltd Babish Prusty to sell his sponge iron company named Aditya Sponge and Power Private Limited located at Keonjhar vide an agreement the two of them signed in 2008. The agreement had put the total cost of the unit at Rs 29 crore.
But later, Prusty found that the ownership of plant was not with Mallick. The latter had fraudulently made one of his employees Niranjan Pradhan the managing director of the company and had struck the deal to sell his sponge iron unit.
Mallick neither handed over the unit nor return the money he had taken from Prusty.
After failing to get his advance money despite repeated calls to Mallick, Prusty lodged a complaint in October last year. Acting on the complaint, Nayapalli police registered a case and had launched a manhunt to nab the accused.
Today police arrested Mallick and are interrogating him to ascertain other facts related to the case.

Let's not beat around the bush: writing great CSS code can be painful. A lot of developers don't want to do CSS development. I can do everything you want, but nah! No CSS.
When I was building apps, CSS was the part I never enjoyed. But you can't escape it, right? I mean, we are so focused on the user experience and the design nowadays that we just can't skip that part.
When beginning a project, all is working fine. You have a few CSS selectors :
#app, easy peasy.
But when your app gets bigger and bigger, it starts to look awful. You're confused about your CSS selectors. You find yourself writing things like
div#app .list li.item a. You keep writing the same code over and over again. You throw all your code at the end of your file because you just don't care, CSS sucks. And there you go: 500 lines of CSS completely unmaintainable.
I have a purpose today: to make you better at writing CSS. I want you to take a look at your older projects and think : oh boy, how could I ever write something like this?
You might think:
Ok, you have a point. But what about CSS frameworks? That's what they stand for, isn't it? That's how we write good CSS code.
Sure. But there are some downsides:
And after all, you landed on this article and there's a reason for that, right? So without further ado, let's learn how to get better at CSS.
Note: this is not an article about how to design beautiful apps. It's about learning how to write maintainable CSS code and how to organize it.
I'll be using SCSS in my examples.
SCSS is a CSS pre-processor. Basically, it is a superset of CSS: it adds some cool features like variables, nesting, imports, and mixins.
I'll talk about what features we are going to use right away.
You can have variables with SCSS. The main benefit: reusability. Let's assume that you have a palette of colors for your app. Your primary color is blue.
So you put blue everywhere: the
background-color of your button, the
color of your title, links. BLUE EVERYWHERE.
And all of a sudden, you don't like blue. You prefer green.
// Declare a variable
$primary-color: #0099ff;
// References a variable
h1 {
color: $primary-color;
You can also nest your code with SCSS. So this snippet:
h1 {
font-size: 5rem;
color: blue;
h1 span {
color: green;
can become this:
h1 {
font-size: 5rem;
color: blue;
span {
color: green;
Much more readable, isn't it? You spend less time writing complex selectors with nesting.
When it comes to maintainability and readability, it's impossible to keep all your code in one big file. It can fit your needs when experimenting or building a small app, but at a professional level… don't even try. Luckily for us, SCSS allows us to do so.
You can create partial files by naming the file with a leading underscore:
_variables.scss, and so on.
As for importing, well use the
@import directive. For example, this is what you can do:
// _animations.scss
@keyframes appear {
0% {
opacity: 0;
100% {
opacity: 1;
// header.scss
@import 'animations';
h1 {
animation: appear 0.5s ease-out;
Ah! You made a mistake here! It's
_animations.scss, not animations ;)
Nope. SCSS is smart enough to know you're talking about a partial file when you name them that way.
And that's all we need to know about variables, nesting, partials, and import. SCSS has some more features like mixins, inheritance, and other directives (
@if, …) but I won't cover them here.
If you want to know more about it, check their docs. They're well-written and easy to understand.
I can't remember how many times I used to give catch-all terms to my CSS classes. You know:
We often don't know how to name things. And yet it's important. What if you were building an app and you decided for some reasons to set it aside for some months? Or worse, what if someone takes back the project? If your CSS code hasn't been properly named, it will be hard to know what you're talking about at a glance.
BEM helps us solving this problem. BEM is a naming convention and stands for Block Element Modifier.
This methodology can make our code structured, more modular, and reusable. Now let's explain what is a block, an element, and a modifier.
Think of the block as a component. Remember when you played Legos as a kid? Well, let's go back in time.
How would you build a simple house? You'd need a window, a roof, a door, some walls, and that's it. Well those are our blocks. They are meaningful on their own.
Now how would you build a window with your legos? Well maybe some of them look like frames, and when you assemble four of them, you get a beautiful window. Those are our elements. They are the parts of a block, and they are needed in order to build our block. But out of their block, they are useless.
Now that you've built your window, you may want to have a green one or a small one. Those are things called modifiers. They are flags on blocks or elements and they are used to change behaviors, apparences, and so on.
Here is an exercice for you. Go around to your favorite or most used websites and try to think of what would be the blocks, elements, and modifiers.
For example, this is what I imagine on the Google store:
It's your turn. Be curious and think about what people could have done better. As always, you have to search by yourself, experiment, and create to get better at what you want.
Here are two pens that showing you how to use BEM:
Still with me? Great! Now let's see how to organize CSS files. This part will really help you be more productive, and will allow you to instantly find where you have to modify your CSS code. And to do so, we'll learn about the 7–1 pattern.
Doesn't look like anything to me.
Trust me, it's fairly simple. You have to follow 2 rules:
main.scss file located at the root level. And that's it.
base: in here, put all your boilerplate code. By boilerplate, I mean all CSS code you're gonna write each time you'll start a new project. For example: typography rules, animations, utilities (by utilities, I mean classes like
margin-right-large ,
text-center , etc) and so on.
components: The name is explicit here. This folder contains all the components used to build your pages like your buttons, forms, swipers, popups, and so on.
layout: used to layout the different parts of your page, that is to say, your header, footer, navigation, section, your own grid, and more.
pages: You may sometimes have a page that has its own specific style, that stands out from what you do usually. Then put your style in the pages folder.
themes: If you have different themes for your app (dark mode, admin, and so on) put them in this folder.
abstracts: Put all your functions here, along with variables and mixins. In short, all your helpers.
vendors: what would be an app or a project without external libraries? Put in the
vendors folder all files that don't depend on you. You may want to add your Font Awesome file, Bootstrap, and stuff like that in here.
This is where you'll import all your partials.
@import abstracts/variables;
@import abstracts/functions;
@import base/reset;
@import base/typography;
@import base/utilities;
@import components/button;
@import components/form;
@import components/user-navigation;
@import layout/header;
@import layout/footer;
Yes. It seems overwhelming. But I knew you would think that. This architecture is adapted to larger projects, but not to small ones. So here is a version adapted to smaller projects.
First, you won't need the
vendors folder. Just put all your external CSS code in a
link tag placed in a header. Then you can skip the
themes folder, as you'll probably have just one theme for your app. Finally, you won't have a lot of specific styles for your
pages, so you can skip that one too. Great, 4 folders left!
Then, you have two choices:
layout and
base folders.
main.scss file, so you'll have something similar to this:
It's up to you.
You convinced me! But how do I use it ? I mean, browsers don't support scss files do they?
Good catch! This is our final step, and we're going to learn how to compile SCSS to CSS right away.
For this, you'll need Node.js and NPM (or Yarn).
We'll use a package called
node-sass that allows us to compile
.scss files to
.css files.
Its CLI (Command Line Interface) is fairly easy to use:
node-sass <input> <output> [options]
There are multiple options out there, but we'll use only two:
-w: watch a directory or a file. It means that
node-sass waits for any changes in your code and when they happen, it automatically compiles to CSS. Really useful when developing.
--output-style: what will be the output of your CSS file. It can be one among these values:
nested|expanded|compact|compressed. We'll use it to build your CSS file.
If you're a curious person (which I hope you are, a developer should be curious!), go here for the full docs.
Now we know what tools we'll use. The rest is even simpler. Just follow these steps:
mkdir my-app && cd my-app
npm init
npm install node-sass --save-dev
index.html and your
main.scss files:
touch index.html
mkdir -p sass/{abstracts,base,components,layout} css
cd sass && touch main.scss
package.json file:
"scripts": {
"watch": "node-sass sass/main.scss css/style.css -w",
"build": "node-sass sass/main.scss css/style.css --output-style compressed"
index.html file:
<!DOCTYPE html>

<meta charset="UTF-8"> <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width,
initial-scale=1.0"> <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="ie=edge">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/style.css">
<title>My app</title>

My app

And that's it, you're ready to go! Run
npm run watch when you're coding and open the
index.html file in your browser. If you want your CSS to be minified, just run
npm run build.
You may want to add live reload to be even more productive instead of manually reloading your local
index.html file.
Once again, follow these simple steps:
npm install -g live-server (it's a global package!)
npm-run-all to your project dependencies:
npm install npm-run-all --save-dev: it will allow us to run many scripts at the same time.
"scripts": {
"start": "npm-run-all --parallel liveserver watch",
"liveserver": "live-server",
"watch": "node-sass sass/main.scss css/style.css -w",
Now when you run
npm run start, you can immediately see your changes without touching anything.
We set development tools, great! Now, Let's talk about build tools and especially one: Autoprefixer.
It is a tool (especially a postcss plugin) that parses CSS and add vendor prefixes to CSS rules using values from Can I Use.
Indeed, when you build a website, you may use new features that are not fully supported in all browers. Therefore, vendor prefixes are the solution to add support for these features.
This is an example of what it looks like:
-webkit-animation-name: myAnimation;
-moz-animation-name: myAnimation;
-ms-animation-name: myAnimation;
You guessed it, it's tedious to write. That's why we need autoprefixer to make our CSS code compliant with browsers without adding an extra layer of complexity.
So what we'll do code-wise to build our CSS is:
This will be the last steps, so bear with me, you're nearly done 😃:
postcss-cli and
npm install autoprefixer postcss-cli --save-dev
build script and add these scripts to
"scripts": {
"start": "npm-run-all --parallel liveserver watch",
"liveserver": "live-server",
"watch": "node-sass sass/main.scss css/style.css -w",
"compile": "node-sass sass/main.scss css/style.css",
"prefix": "postcss css/style.css --use autoprefixer -o css/style.css",
"compress": "node-sass css/style.css css/style.css --output-style compressed",
"build": "npm-run-all compile prefix compress"
Now when you run
npm run build, your CSS code is compressed and vendor prefixes have been added! Awesome isn't it?
But you know what's even more awesome? I set up a repo for you just in case you want to quickly get started 😉
Aaaaaand, that's all for today! Now you're ready to write maintainable, modular, and reusable CSS code.

If you have an incline to build your own cat tree but never done so before, you can have many questions. Many of these questions are probably about what kind of material you should use.
This article will give you tips on how to choose and buy the right type of carpet that you can use to cover your cat's bottom, inserts and shelves.
Where to get the carpet
One of the best ways to get the carpet is to buy it straight from the roll. All the food shops and most of the building manufacturing stores allow you to buy carpet in this way. However, you may be limited to purchasing it only in certain footsteps (often 12 & # 39;).
If the purchase of the roller leaves you with too much excess, you can try to buy scrapers. Most carpet outlets have carpet residues that they sell at a discounted price.
These are often completely new and are simply scrap parts left from new installations on houses, apartments, office buildings etc. Spending a little extra time shopping can help you land some fantastic carpet stores.
Which type of carpet is best?
When you build your own cat tree and are ready to cover it with the carpet, you have some considerations to deal with. First, what color do you want? This is really a personal choice so I leave it between you and your cat.
Second, you need to decide which high, texture and weight you want to use. If you do not know the mat conditions, the pile simply tells the mat's fiber length and the weight loss on the mat thickness. In terms of texture, it is best to go with non-loop mat. This will prevent your cat from being damaged by ensuring that her claws are not snagged.
If you want to make a cat tree with the most eye-friendly and least frustration during the construction process, then stick in medium stack (3/8 "to 1/2" long fibers) and medium mat.
If the carpet fibers are too long or the carpet is too thick, it becomes difficult to bend and stack around the edges and corners of the shelves. If it is too short or thin, the back is shown by folding over the edges and around the corners.
How much carpet is needed?
Of course, when you build your own cat wood, the amount of carpets needed will depend on how extravagant your design will be. In most cases, you can create a nice, medium sized cat tree with about 50 square feet.
