Episode 251: 85 Watts and a Wire/
Gary considers usurping the 100 Watts and a Wire show name because nobody on the show runs 100 watts and a wire anymore. But he tempers his hostile takeover because co-host Katie Allen WY7YL has taken a new job, and it look like she won't be able to participate in the show (but Katie, you didn't even say good-bye!). Gary's HF rig can't even muster 100 watts anymore, so he settles for 85.. and he's legit on the wire thing.
Next he reviews the new HamRadioNow.tv web site (with a real URL!), some news stories he won't be covering because of 1) Time; 2) Inefficiency; and 3) a vacation. He'll see you at Dayton (and probably squeeze in a show or three before that).
Finally, the Missouri House has passed it's version of the Amateur Radio Parity Act. It's in a Senate committee. Gary's got the audio of the House 'debate' that's kinda odd (but all's well that ends well?).

(In reply to comment #4)
> How urgent is this?
I would like the fix to make it into F-18 final so relatively. It was reported back in July
Is there a status update on this?
This looks like aproblem with CMake determining the proper libpath for Java. I think we need to add something like this to pki/cmake/Modules/FindJNI.cmake:
elseif (CMAKE_SYSTEM_PROCESSOR MATCHES "^arm")
SET(_java_libarch "arm")
There are currently conditions for i*86, x86_64, ppc, ppc64, and sparc. We have nothing there for ARM.
I remember we had an issue with JNI on another package. I think this is the commit they used to fix it.

An official build of 'Milestone: 10.0.0-0.X.rc1' is scheduled for November 16, 2012, which should pick up this change.
Note that even when FindJNI.cmake is patched as above, pki-core won't actually work on arm because its code is littered with "if arch == i386
... else if arch == x86_64 ... else boom". This prevents freeipa-sever from working on arm.
Builds on F-18. Likely needs more in depth testing.

The woman, whose surname is Qui, threw nine coins at the engine from the tarmac while boarding, with one of the coins remaining nestled in the engine.
She was then taken away by police after another passenger reported her behavior.
As a result, the flight to the southern Chinese city of Guangzhou was delayed for almost six hours after the incident.
Police at Shanghai Pudong International Airport said Ms Qui was a devoted Buddhist and believed the coin offering would ensure a safe flight.
However the People's Daily newspaper, citing police, said that while she had broken the law and would normally serve five days behind bars, she is exempted because she is aged over 70.

Coureur des bois
A coureur des bois (French pronunciation: [kuʁœʁ de bwa]) or coureur de bois (French pronunciation: [kuʁœʁ də bwa], runner of the woods; plural: coureurs de bois) was an independent entrepreneurial French-Canadian woodsman who traveled in New France and the interior of North America. They ventured into the woods usually to trade various European items for furs, and along the way they learned the trades and practices of the Native people. These expeditions were fuelled by the beginning of the fur trade in the North American interior. Trade began with coat beaver, but as the market grew coureurs de bois were trapping and trading prime beavers to be felted in Europe.[1]

The Evolution of the Coureur des Bois
While Frenchmen had been trading and living among the natives since the earliest days of the colony, coureurs des bois reached their apex during the second half of the 17th century. After 1681, the independent coureur was gradually replaced by the state-sponsored voyageurs, who were the canoe travel workers of licensed fur traders. Coureurs des bois had therefore lost their importance within the fur trade by the early 18th century. However, even while their numbers were dwindling, the coureur des bois developed as a symbol of the colony, creating a lasting myth that would continue to define New France for centuries.[2]
1610–1630: early explorers and interpreters
Shortly after founding a permanent settlement at Quebec City in 1608, Samuel de Champlain sought to ally himself with the local native peoples. He therefore decided to send young French boys to live among them to serve as interpreters, in the hope of persuading the natives to trade with the French rather than with the Dutch.[3]
These boys learned native languages, customs, and skills, and tended to assimilate quickly to their new environments. For instance, upon visiting Étienne Brûlé a year after leaving him with a Huron tribe in 1610, Champlain was surprised to find the young boy in complete native clothing, able to converse fluently in the Huron language.[4] Early explorers like Brûlé could educate the French on the complex trading networks used by the natives, serve as interpreters, and encourage the burgeoning fur trade. Between 1610 and 1629, dozens of Frenchmen spent months at a time living among the natives. Over time, these early explorers and interpreters played an increasingly active role in the fur trade, paving the way for the emergence of the coureurs des bois proper in the mid-17th century.
1649–1681: Coureurs des Bois and the Fur Trade
File:Edict of King making selling fur illegal.jpg The term "coureur des bois" is most strongly associated with those who engaged in the fur trade in ways that were considered to be outside of the mainstream.[5] Early in the North American fur trade era this meant circumventing the normal channels by going deeper into the wilderness to trade.
Traditionally, the government of New France preferred to let the natives supply furs directly to French merchants, and discouraged French settlers from venturing outside the Saint Lawrence valley. By the mid-17th century, Montreal had emerged as the center of the fur trade, hosting a yearly fair in August where natives exchanged their pelts for European goods.[6] Thus, while coureurs des bois never entirely disappeared, they were heavily discouraged by French colonial officials. In 1649, however, the new governor Louis d'Ailleboust permitted Frenchmen familiar with the wilderness to visit "Huron country" in order to encourage and escort Hurons to Montreal to participate in the trade.[7] While this did not legally sanction coureurs des bois to trade independently with the natives, some historians consider this the official beginning of the coureurs.[7][8]
In the 1660s, several factors caused a sudden spike in the number of coureurs. First, the population of New France markedly increased during the late 17th century, as the colony experienced a boom in immigration between 1667-84.[9] Of the new engagés (indentured male servants), discharged soldiers, and youthful immigrants arriving in great numbers in the colony, the bravest, or perhaps foolhardiest, among them chose to become coureurs des bois. Furthermore, renewed peaceful relations with the Iroquois in 1667 made travelling into the interior of Canada much less perilous for the French.[10] In addition, the companies that had been monopolizing and regulating the fur trade since 1645, the Cent Associés and the Communautés des Habitants went bankrupt after the Iroquois war.[11] The Compagnie des Indes occidentales, which replaced them, was much less restrictive of internal trade, allowing independent merchants to become more numerous. Finally, a sudden fall in the price of beaver on the European markets in 1664 caused more traders to travel to the pays d'en haut, or "upper country" (the area around the Great Lakes), in search of cheaper pelts.[11] During the mid-1660s, therefore, becoming a coureur des bois became both more feasible and profitable.
This sudden growth alarmed many colonial officials. In 1680, the intendant Duchesneau estimated that there were eight hundred coureurs des bois, or 40% of the adult male population.[12] However, reports like that were wildly exaggerated: in reality, even at their zenith coureurs des bois remained a very small percentage of the population of New France.
1681–1715: The Coureur and the Voyageur
In 1681, to curb the unregulated trade of independent businessmen and their burgeoning profits, French minister of marine Jean-Baptiste Colbert created a system of licenses for fur traders, known as congés.[13] Initially, this system granted 25 licenses to merchants travelling inland every year. The recipients of these licenses came to be known as voyageurs (travellers), who canoed and portaged fur trade goods in the employ of a licensed fur trader or fur trading company. The congé system therefore created the voyageur, the legal and respectable counterpart to the coureur des bois. Under the voyageurs, the fur trade began to favour a more organized business model, including capitalist monopolistic ownership and hired labor. From 1681 onwards, therefore, the voyageurs began to eclipse the coureurs des bois, although coureurs continued to trade without licenses for several decades.[13] Following the implementation of the congé system, the number of coureurs des bois dwindled, as did their influence within the colony.
Life as a Coureur des Bois
Skills of the Coureur
A successful coureur des bois had to possess many skills, including those of businessman and expert canoeist.[14] To survive in the Canadian wilderness, coureurs also had to be competent in a range of activities including fishing, snowshoeing and hunting.[15] To one Jesuit, venturing into the wilderness suited "the sort of person who thought nothing of covering five to six hundred leagues by canoe, paddle in hand, or of living off corn and bear fat for twelve to eighteen months, or of sleeping in bark or branch cabins".[16] Both physically arduous and illegal, succeeding as a coureur was extremely difficult. However, the hope of making a profit motivated many, while the promise of adventure and freedom was enough to convince others to become outlaws.[17]
Long distance fur trade and canoe travel
Fur trade in the interior of the continent required long distance transportation of fur trade good by canoe. Early travel was dangerous and the Coureurs des Bois, who traded in uncharted territory, had a high mortality rate. Typically, they left Montreal in the spring, as soon as the rivers and lakes were clear of ice (usually May), their canoes loaded with supplies and goods for trading. The course west to the richest beaver lands usually went by way of the Ottawa and Mattawa rivers; it required numerous overland portages. Alternatively, some canoes proceeded by way of the upper St. Lawrence River and the lakes, passing by Detroit on the way to Michilimackinac or Green Bay. This route had fewer portages, but it was more exposed in times of war to Iroquois attacks. Journeys often lasted for months and covered thousands of kilometers, with the coureurs des bois sometimes paddling twelve hours a day.[15] Packing a canoe for such a trip was often arduous, as more than thirty articles were considered essential for a Coureur des Bois's survival and business. He could trade for food, hunt and fish—but trade goods such as "broadcloth, linen and wool blankets, ammunition, metal goods (knives, hatchets, kettles), firearms, liquor, gunpowder and sometimes even finished clothing, took up the majority of space in the canoe."[18] Food en route needed to be lightweight, practical and non-perishable.
Relationships with the Natives
The business of a coureur des bois required close contact with the indigenous peoples. Native peoples were essential to the fur trade because they actually trapped the fur-bearing animals (especially beaver) and prepared the skins. Relations between coureurs and natives were not always peaceful, and could sometimes become violent.[19] In general, however, trade was made much easier by maintaining friendly relations between coureurs and natives. This meant that trade often took the form of reciprocal gift-giving; to the Algonquins exchanging gifts was a necessary way of maintaining alliances.[20] Pierre-Esprit Radisson and his companions, for instance, "struck agreeable relations with Natives inland by giving European goods as gifts".[21]
Furthermore, relations between the coureur de bois and the Natives often included a sexual dimension; Marriage 'à la façon du pays' (following local custom) was common between Native women and coureurs, and later voyageurs.[22] As wives, indigenous women played a key role as translators, guides and mediators- becoming "women between".[23] For one thing, Algonquin communities typically had far more women than men, likely as a result of warfare. The remaining marriages between Algonquins tended to be polygamous, with one husband marrying two or more women. Sexual relationships with coureurs des bois therefore offered native women an alternative to polygamy in a society with few available men.[24]
To French commanders, who were often involved in the fur trade themselves, these marriages were beneficial in that they improved relations between the French and the natives. Native leaders also encouraged such unions, particularly when they formed lasting, permanent bonds. Jesuits and upper level colonial officials, however, viewed these relationships with dislike and disgust.[25] French officials preferred coureurs and voyageurs to settle around Quebec City and Montreal, and saw traders forming lasting relationships with native women as further proof of the lawlessness and perversion of the coureurs des bois.[26]
The Myth of Coureurs des Bois
The role and importance of the coureurs des bois has been exaggerated over the course of history, and the character has become mythicized, leading to many false accounts, and to the coureurs being assimilated with "Canadiens" (Canadians).
This mythicization was twofold. Initially, people in France judged the colonies according to the fears and apprehensions that they had in the Ancien Régime. If order and discipline were proving difficult to maintain in continental Europe, then it seemed impossible that the colonies would fare any better; indeed, it was presumed that things would be even worse.[2] Accounts of young men choosing a life where they would "do nothing", be "restrained by nothing" and live "beyond the possibility of correction" played into the French elite's fears of insubordination[6] and only served to confirm their prejudice; and thus coureurs des bois became emblematic of the colony for those in the metropolis.
The myth of the coureurs des bois as representative of the Canadians was re-ignited and enforced by historians such as Francis Parkman and F-X. Charlevoix, whose historical accounts belong to the realm of popular rather than academic history.[27] Charlevoix was particularly influential in his writings, because he was a trusted source of information, being a Jesuit and having journeyed in Canada. However his "historical" work has been criticized by historians for being too "light" and for relying too heavily on other author's material (i.e. plagiarizing), rather than his own first-hand account.[27] Critics of Charlevoix have also noted that in his account, he confuses different periods of time, and therefore does not differentiate between "voyageurs" and coureurs, misrepresenting the importance of the latter in terms of size.[2] This did not prevent Charlevoix from being influential; his work was often cited by other authors, which further propagated the myth of the Canadian as a coureur des bois.
Finally, romans du terroir (rural novels) also played their part in mythicizing coureurs des bois by giving them too much place in their storylines. Naturally, the extremely virile, free-spirited and untameable nature of coureurs made them ideal protagonists in the romanticized novels of important writers such as Chateaubriand, Jules Verne and Fenimore Cooper.[28] But just as the world isn't teeming with spies today, so Canada wasn't teeming with coureurs in the 17th or 18th centuries.
Notable Coureurs des Bois
Most "Coureurs des Bois" were primarily or solely fur trade entrepreneurs and not individually well known. The most prominent coureurs des bois were also explorers and gained fame as such.
Étienne Brûlé was the first European to see the Great Lakes. He traveled to New France with Samuel de Champlain.[29]
Jean Nicolet (Nicollet) de Belleborne (Ca. 1598 – 1 November 1642) was a French coureur des bois noted for exploring Green Bay in what is now the U.S. state of Wisconsin. Nicolet was born in Normandy, France in the late 1590s and moved to New France in 1618. In that same year, he was recruited by Samuel de Champlain who arranged for him to live with a group of Algonquians, designated as the "Nation of the Isle" to learn Native languages and later serve as an interpreter.[30] The Natives quickly adopted Nicolet as one of their own, even allowing him to attend councils and negotiate treaties. In 1620, Nicolet was sent to make contact with the Nipissing, a group of natives who played an important role in the growing fur trade. After having established a good reputation for himself, Nicolet was sent on an expedition to Green Bay to settle a peace agreement with the Natives of that area.[31]
Médard Chouart des Groseilliers (1618–1696) was a French explorer and fur trader in Canada. In the early 1640s, Des Groseilliers relocated to Quebec, and began to work around Huronia with the Jesuit Missions in that area. There, he learned the skills of a coureur des bois, and in 1653 married his second wife, Margueritte.[32] Her brother, Pierre-Esprit Radisson, also became a notable figure in the fur trade and is often mentioned in the same breath as des Groseilliers. Radisson and des Grosseilliers would also travel and trade together, as they did throughout the 1660s and 1670s. Together, they explored west into previously unknown territories in search of trade. Having incurred legal problems in New France because of their trade, the two explorers went to France in an attempt to rectify their legal situation. When this attempt failed, the pair turned to the English. Through this liaison with the English and thanks to their considerable knowledge and experience in the area, the pair are credited with the establishment of the Hudson's Bay Company.[33]
Pierre-Esprit Radisson (1636–1710) was a French-Canadian fur trader and explorer. His life as explorer and trader is crucially intertwined with that of his brother-in-law, Médard des Groseilliers. Radisson came to New France in 1651, settling in Trois-Rivières.[34] That same year, he was captured by the Mohawks while duck hunting. Although two of his companions were killed during this exchange, the Natives spared Radisson's life and adopted him.[35] Through this adoption, Radisson learned native languages that would later serve him well as an interpreter. He worked throughout the 1660s and 1670s with his brother-in-law, des Groseilliers, on various trade and exploration voyages into the west of the continent. Much of Radisson's life during this period is wrapped up in the story of des Groseilliers. Together they are credited with the establishment and shaping of the Hudson's Bay Company.[36]
Daniel Greysolon, Sieur du Lhut (1639–1710) was a French soldier and explorer who is the first European known to have visited the area where the city of Duluth, Minnesota is now located and the headwaters of the Mississippi River near Grand Rapids.[37]

Book, television, and film
The 1910 Victor Herbert operetta Naughty Marietta featured the male-chorus marching song Tramp Tramp Tramp (Along the Highway), which included the words, "Blazing trails along the byway / Couriers de Bois are we" [sic]. (Some later versions change Rida Johnson Young's lyric to "For men of war are we.")
In James A. Michener's 1974 historical novel, Centennial and the 1978–1979 NBC television mini-series of the same name, the colorful, French Canadian or French Metis, coureur des bois, from Montreal, Quebec, Canada, named Pasquinel, was introduced as an early frontier mountain man and trapper, in 1795 Colorado, Spanish Upper Louisiana Territory of Mexico, now the present-day state of Colorado. Pasquinel was portrayed in the miniseries by American TV actor Robert Conrad. The fictional character of Pasquinel was loosely based on the lives of French-speaking fur traders Jacques La Ramee and Ceran St. Vrain. More recently, in 2015, The Revenant, directed by Alejandro González Iñárritu, depicts a group of uncharacteristically violent, anti-Indian coureurs des bois in North Dakota, which was contrary to these trappers, who embraced the culture and way of life of Native Americans.

Nick Gates arrived at Bishop Gorman High as a freshman eager to become the next great baseball player in the Gaels' perennial state championship program.
Instead, he'll leave in four months as one of the school's top football players. Actually, he's rated as one of the nation's top offensive linemen.
Nick Gates committed today to the Nebraska football team, picking the Big 10 Conference school over Arizona and Texas A & M, Gorman coach Tony Sanchez said.
He was scheduled to visit UCLA this weekend, but on Tuesday canceled the trip. He also eliminated Oregon from consideration.
The 6-foot-4, 270-pound Gates is a four-star recruit by evaluating site Rivals.com on its scale of five stars. They rank him as the nation's No. 24 offensive tackle prospect. During the Semper Fidelis All-American Bowl in early January in California, Gates emerged as one of the game's top players, showing a quickness off the line of scrimmage and athleticism not common with big-bodied linemen.
Despite excelling on the gridiron and cracking Gorman's offensive line rotation his sophomore year, Gates still thought his ticket to the next level would be baseball. Last season, he batted . 370 with seven home runs and 37 RBIs to help Gorman reach the state tournament.
But when Gates' football recruiting stock started to increase last spring, including a scholarship offer from Alabama, he switched gears. When it was all said and done, he had more than 20 scholarship offers.
He'll play baseball again in the spring — likely for the last time. Then, it's on to Nebraska, a school he visited in early November and reportedly was immediately impressed with.
Verbal commitments are nonbinding until an athlete signs a national letter of intent. Signing day is Feb. 5.
He becomes the fifth Gorman player from the class of 2014 to commitment, joining safety Armand Perry (Arizona State), defensive tackle Zack Singer (Kent State), defensive back Dylan Weldon (Columbia) and offensive lineman Tryson Mook (Colorado Mesa). Alize Jones, a tight end for the class of 2015, is committed to UCLA.

Pittsburgh, PA (PRWEB) May 15, 2013
Dr. Carr is internationally recognized as a leader in the development of novel proteomics methods and in their application in biology and medicine. Dr. Carr and his group collaborate with scientists throughout the greater Broad community (Broad Institute, Harvard, Harvard Medical School, and the 17 Harvard affiliated hospitals) to apply state-of-the art proteomics technology to address compelling questions in biology, chemistry and clinical medicine. He has over 200 publications on development and use of proteomics and biological mass spectrometry.
Carr's lecture will address the new era of quantitative biology enabled by mass spectrometry based proteomic technologies that has arrived. The content, relative abundance, modification states and interaction partners of proteins in a dynamic and temporal manner on a near-global basis in organelles, whole cells and clinical samples, providing information of unprecedented detail can now be defined. At the Broad Institute, Carr and his team are employing these technologies in a wide array of studies including delineating the genetic underpinnings of mitochondrial disorders, connecting cancer genotype to molecular phenotype, unraveling the basis of the innate-immune response, identifying the mechanism of action of drug-like molecules and to discover and verify protein biomarkers of disease. A representative set of project vignettes will be presented to convey a sense of the breadth and depth of application of modern proteomics to biology and medicine.
When asked to comment on his work, Dr. Carr stated, "Significant improvements in mass spectrometry-based proteomic technologies over the past few years have greatly increased the value and necessity of analyzing proteins and their modifications in biology and medicine. The number of proteins observed in cells and tissues now begins to approximate the expected expressed proteome." He added, "The ability to globally measure and quantify changes in key protein modifications such as phosphorylation, ubiquitinylation and acetylation provides a window into function and pathogenesis not accessible by genomic methods. These capabilities have facilitated adoption of proteomics as natural adjunct to genomic methods, yielding new knowledge and testable hypotheses in biology and medicine."

The U.S. Red Cross says the American blood supply is at a 15-year low. The organization said it was 50,000 units short of its basic needs in June, experienced another shortage in July, and expects to be too low in August.
The Red Cross said that tornadoes in the Midwest have meant a dramatic rise in need, while student donations—usually representing 20 percent of the total—have been declining. School summer holidays often put a dent in blood supplies but usually not this severe.
Brutal storms that have swept through most the nation's regions have also canceled dozens of blood drives.
The Red Cross announced that it officially reached a crisis level on June 25. According to USA Today, if things don't turn around, doctors may need to cancel elective surgeries.
"We just aren't seeing the donors coming through the door right now," said Karen Stecher, a Red Cross spokesperson.

It's the day before Thanksgiving—let us give thanks for the day before Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving eve, if you will. The day before Thanksgiving means the day before a long weekend for most people and the day before feasting and spending time with loved ones. ….it's probably a little too early in the morning to be so mushy, huh?
One thing it's not too early for? GINGERBREAD. You all said so in this post so I feel it's appropriate to post all things gingerbread 😀 True story: one time last year I made a very, very similar recipe but never got around to perfecting it. Shameful, I know. This year I set aside some time to do so, and boy did I perfect it—this stuff is grrrrreat! (said in the Tony the Tiger voice).
You can eat it plain, you can eat it atop yogurt or you can eat it with milk like cereal. Speaking of cereal.. cereal is something I used to eat every single day for probably 18 years straight. Then, one day, I fell in love with eggs and sort of stopped eating it. I can honestly say that I rarely crave cereal anymore. But but but… as soon as I poured milk into the bowl of granola I immediately remembered why I spent so many mornings chomping down on cereal (literally chomping because I sometimes accidentally chew like a cow). Just ask my college roommate who had the pleasure of listening to me chew for four years straight. I think I've got my chewing under control now.
The only thing better than gingerbread is chocolate gingerbread and that's a fact. Crunchy, chunky, chocolate gingerbread granola, and that's exactly what you'll get with this recipe. Feel free to double, triple or quadruple the recipe so you have granola for days rather than eating it all in one sitting like I did….. #noshame
Happy happy happy Thanksgiving eve, all!
Chocolate Gingerbread Granola
- 2 cups oats
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- 1 1/2 tsp ginger
- 1/4 tsp all spice
- Pinch of nutmeg
- 1/4 cup coconut oil melted

- 1/2 tsp vanilla
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips
- Preheat oven to 350°.
- Pour oats into a large bowl and add cinnamon, ginger, all spice, and nutmeg.
- In a microwave safe bowl, melt coconut oil until it is a liquid.
- Add coconut oil, syrup, molasses, and vanilla to oats; stir well.
- Grease a baking sheet with nonstick spray or coconut oil.
- Spread oats out on baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes.
- Remove from oven and add chocolate chips; bake for an additional 2 minutes.
- Remove from oven and enjoy!
Q: How often do you eat cereal?

Apartment building sales by owners that have held and managed the property for many years can potentially offer up some hidden value, so pay close attention to these deals. I know this from first hand knowledge.
Why does the length of ownership matter when it comes to apartment building sales?
1. Time can bread complacency. Over time many owners become less aggressive about their management techniques. They choose to take the easy route of keeping their rents low, occupancy high and tenant turnover low. They're not interested in getting every last dollar out of the building. Instead they opt for fewer headaches.
2. Often times the mortgage balances on these apt. buildings are small, and so are the mortgage payments. Translation? Less pressure to maximize the revenues and NOI (net operating income)
3. The buildings are many times "dated". The owners haven't upgraded the suites and common areas in many, many years. New tenants won't pay market rent for dated buildings and suites.
What all these things lead to is below market rents. When you can find apartment properties with below market rents you can buy them at below market values. Remember, for every dollar that you can increase the rents per month (without increasing expenses) you add $120 to the value of the rental property, assuming a 10% capitalization rate.
A real life example...
A few years back I purchased an apt. building from a group of owners who had actually constructed the building about 15 years previous. They had then held on to the apartment complex and managed it over those 15 years. When the property was presented to me for sale by a commercial realtor, the first thing I did was look at the numbers. In fact, that is always the first thing I do when I begin to analyze a commercial property. If the math doesn't work, I don't care about anything else. I suggest you take the same approach.
At the time I owned other commercial property in a nearby city. (Actually the property was owned through a limited partnership I had put together). So I knew the area, and liked the potential of that area. The building was in fairly good shape, which for me is usually not a good thing. I typically like to take over properties that need a fair amount of rehab in order to add value to the rental property. But after some market research, I quickly realized that the rents were below market.
I can't comment on exactly why this was the case, but my guess at the time was that the owners, after 15 years of management, were in autopilot mode. They kept the rents low, and hence tenant turnover and vacancies low as well. The "no headaches" approach. What it presented me was an opportunity to come in and aggressively raise the value of the property. In fact, within 6 months of taking over I had the building appraised at $225,000 more than I paid for it. And a large part of that jump in value was due to the rent increases.

The boom in mobile applications continues unabated, and users are increasingly willing to invest money in mobile applications either by purchasing an application or by making micro purchases within it for additional benefits.
This is certainly a great advantage for us as developers, since it opens doors to make money by developing applications. Although some people think that making money by making applications is a simple job, the truth is that it requires a lot of dedication and perseverance.
Here are the key ways of making money within app stores.
Payment Applications
This type of application is one of the simplest that currently exists; here, the developer establishes a price for their application at the time of publishing to stores, and the sales revenue is distributed between 70% for the developer and 30% for the store (Apple/Google).
Free applications with Micropayments (Freemium)
Developers and companies use this approach frequently. The applications are shown as free in stores; however, to be able to use certain functionalities within the app, users need to make micropayments, depending on the implementation of the application.
There are two types of products within the application: managed products and subscriptions.
Managed Products
Products within the app can be divided into two types, consumables and non-consumables.
These are payments that users make, and that may be repeated. Which means that you can re-buy the same product endless times.
The typical case is in game apps, when you can buy a certain amount of coins or currency, and each group has a different price. After making the purchase, you get virtual items, and you can purchase the same product again (the same group of coins). Example: Purchasing coins in PokemonGO.
These are payments that customers make to purchase a specific product, which means that after they buy the product, they can't buy it again.
These type of products are generally used in the following cases:
– Payment for removing ads from the app.
– Payment to access a "premium" functionality of the application. Example: Unlock levels in Mario Run.
– Payment for a non-consumable virtual item. Example: Purchasing new plants in Plants vs. Zombies.
Just like with payment applications, the store takes 30% of the revenue.
This business model works based on a user signing up to a subscription within the application. This means the application requires the user to be subscribed to use certain additional functionalities.
You must select a period for the product with subscription, which may be monthly, quarterly, biannual, or annual, according to the application store.
Video streaming or music applications typically use this model, which allow access to their content with a subscription.
In this case, the store takes 30% of revenue; in the case of Apple, if the subscription of the user is more than 1 year, Apple only takes 15% of the revenue.
Free apps with ads
As well as freemium apps, free apps are used a lot nowadays; indeed, they complement well freemium apps.
These types of applications are free and do not have micropayments, but they do have ads or banners within the application in different parts, depending on how the developer decided to implement them.
There is a new model, which is known as: "Incentivized advertising", which involves getting together and reaching an agreement with a company wishing to advertise. Then the developer includes this advertising in the application, whether with company logos or banners that only show information and announcements of the company. The amount and method of payment will depend on the agreement reached with the associated company.
After reviewing the ways available to generate money, which one should you choose? The answer will vary depending on your application. Keep in mind that it is possible to combine different methods of payment, and that will depend on your chosen strategy.
Defining a good business model based on your application, is one of the key factors in being able to make a profit from your application. Good luck!

WACBA Honor Roll (Women's Basketball) Week 13
By WACBA Hoops (@WACBAHoops)
WORCESTER, Mass. – Another week of college basketball is in the books, which means it is time to dish out our Worcester Area College Basketball Association (WABCA) Women's Honor Roll, including our Player and Rookie of the Week.

This plump and juicy roast chicken benefits from tenderizing in a yogurt-lemon-garlic marinade for as long as 24 hours, but if you don't have a lot of time, slathering it with the mixture before sliding it into the oven will still add flavor, and give the spices something to stick to. Za'atar, a Middle Eastern herb-and-spice blend, can still be hard to find in the supermarket, so make your own by combining sumac, sesame seeds, thyme, coriander, oregano and cumin. You can buy sumac, a garnet-colored lemony spice, in Middle Eastern markets or online, but the rest of the ingredients are most likely already on your spice rack, and leaving out one or two of them is perfectly O.K. If you have a premade za'atar blend on hand, you'll need about 1/2 cup to coat the chicken.

Many days I'm looking at resumes of 18 – 25 year olds who want to be in ministry. I'm typically doing this for Slingshot for a full-time placement at a church or for some sort of residency consideration. Some are still enrolled at undergraduate institutions or seminary, while others are graduates.
A typical story of two such candidates (I'll call them Bill and Ted) I encounter from two different Christian universities looks much like this:
These guys are pretty rare. Both felt a call to ministry that was affirmed from their youth pastors in high school.
Both are very passionate, called, driven, love Jesus, say "yes, sir" a lot, return emails within an hour, and have had above average interactions with me.
Both are graduating in May with undergraduate Christian ministry degrees from respectable Christian universities.
The first student, "Bill" is studying online at a well-known Christian university and is graduating in May. He has been online for virtually all of his education and will actually complete his degree on a traditional timeline of 4 years in May at age 22.
The second student, "Ted" will have had four straight years at a prominent brick and mortar Christian university. He, too, will graduate in 8 semesters at the age of 22.
Both will have massive student debt that neither really want to talk about, but that's for a different article. People much more important than me are working to address that very topic.
But, I'd like to evaluate how ready each are to serve a local church after completing their respective programs:
For the past four years, Bill has served at three different churches. All three times he began as a volunteer and was then asked to intern. He was on his own for housing and living expenses, which means getting part-time jobs, having to "figure it out." He has stories of being given more responsibility, leading middle and high school students, growing a ministry, and being asked to stay at each location. He told stories of being led, coached, developed, and managed well by leaders at each of those churches.
Ted has been a favorite of the administration at his brick and mortar school. He traveled 2.5 years for the college as the front man for their premiere worship band. He had a good opportunity, and he did an outstanding job. He has great references from his college. They are so proud of him.
I would call both candidates above average. Both have enough "talent" to believe they are worthy of the position at a local church.
One church jumped at Bill's resume. They are saying things like, "He has experience—he's done this! He's been to staff meetings, working through those relationships. He's led a couple hundred middle/high school students every week for two years at a prevailing church. He's done difficult things, stuck it out, and he keeps showing up."
Unfortunately, even after four years of private Christian Education, it is difficult for a church to get excited about the prospects of hiring Ted. He's actually just now ready for a residency that Bill was doing during his sophomore year of college.
Both sets of parents would be thrilled for their 22-year-old kids to land this ministry position. It's a great "starter ministry job" with 44k salary and benefits. Bill or Ted could probably spend a long time at this church. There is a proven developmental path, a commitment to hiring millennials, and long-run staff leaders ready to turn this over to the next generation.
I don't tell this story to pick on the brick and mortar institution, nor to promote the national Christian university online program. I don't think either school is better than the other. You've heard of both. Both are nationally recognized major Christian universities.
There's no one size fits all when it comes to developmental paths for 18 – 25-year-olds. They are as unique as snowflakes and thumbprints.
There are trends we simply cannot ignore. Those of us who are guiding, coaching, leading 18 – 25-year-olds who desire ministry must realize a few things, in particular.
- Accelerated experiences, sooner, rather than later, that mimic and mirror eventual reality are best every time. In other words, embed freshman into servant/leadership roles on church staffs. Do this early, in a culture of feedback and evaluation with a trusted and developer leader on that church staff.
- Opportunities are not enough. An "opportunity" used to be "enough to prepare. It (sorta kinda) worked for me in the late 80's / early 90's, but we now have to elevate this beyond just an opportunity into developmental activity. And there's a huge difference between the two. Playing football at the park is an opportunity. Joining a team and having a coach make you better is developmental activity.
- It's about deeds done. Churches that are the ideal places to begin in ministry are hiring "deeds done." Without real, developmental experience and good references, a college nor seminary graduate is NOT hirable at the right local church where development will continue.
Bill and Ted are both awesome people, and I believe they both could have a long run of ministry ahead of them. But only one is ready today at graduation, and it's because of his prior experiences.
These two stories are quite common, and this reality drives me to serve 18 – 25-year-olds and the local church, in a continued and evolving way.
Churches probably won't ask about GPA, but they will always inquire about:
- Skill level (building teams, discipling others, doing ministry, showing up on time, work ethic, and other character traits)
- How much practical experience did this student have on a healthy and growing church staff, and what does that "intern boss" say about him?
The Lord has had me embedded for the last 11 years helping churches in one way or another. From this perspective, great churches cannot find the "Bills," and the gap between preparation and "highly desired and hirable" is broadening. It's getting worse, not better.
Finally, I don't own this conversation; a consultant group doesn't own it, and neither does higher education, seminaries, or a favorite residency program. The Church owns it. It's Hers. Sometimes she takes enough time to verbalize it, but mainly for the last few decades the Church has told us through whom she hires, fires, develops, and advances.
So if you are investing in 18 - 25-year-olds who are preparing for ministry, please keep investing. The innovation of how we prepare students cannot stop and if anything, needs to accelerate. And when we notice little wins, we need to share them with others who don't understand why their version of a Christian college graduate cannot seem to find a ministry job. I know "disruption" is a buzzword, but I encourage all of us in positions of influence to be as disruptive as possible on this topic. Those of us in influential positions around 18 - 25-year-olds must continue to serve them in such a way they can someday actually serve the Church by leading more effectively in ministry long-term.

It was 11.50pm on February 13th 2012 when Georgia, my then-girlfriend, now wife, walked through the door into our London flat having just returned from covering New York Fashion Week for work. Tired and exhausted after a gruelling few days, she was desperate for the comfort and familiarity of our bed, but we both suspected/hoped there could be another explanation for her acute fatigue…
So before a visit to the land of nod, there was one thing to do… take a pregnancy test.
We'd been trying for a couple of months and things were looking promising so after a very large glass of water we waited for nature to takes its course.
In the ten minutes or so that passed, we'd crept into 14th February; Valentine's Day and my 31st birthday. Now I'm no old romantic or really that into birthdays but perhaps the stars were aligned that night – George was pregnant!
The rest of the night was a fuzziness of excitement, panic, joy, worry and insomnia as I moved around our flat trying to sleep. The nine months that then followed took much the same course with the nerves thankfully a little controlled by an endless ensemble of lists, spreadsheets and baby books.
In October 2012 our daughter, Edie Madeleine Day was born and my life and happiness was taken to a new level.
Nearly three years have passed now and Edie has thrown everything that those books and spreadsheets detailed at us. Those early months of sleepless nights, exploding nappies, worrying rashes, and cosy cuddles, to the sleep training, a conveyer-belt of sterilised bottles, crawling, holidays, leaving her to a nanny (sad face), to her then walking, talking, starting nursery and growing from a small baby who needed everything doing for her, to what she is now – an incredibly strong minded beautiful girl who thinks she can take on the world (until she comes across a rowdy child at soft play or an erratic wasp)…
Baby number two is due in November and I really can't wait, but thankfully this time around there are no incessant lists or bouts of insomnia (mainly because I'm so darn tired all the time from looking after Edie) but that doesn't mean I think it's going to be a breeze. Yes I've done it once before but I'm certainly no dad-guru. I hope though that I can lend to at least one person what I've learnt first time round and what I'm going to learn in the coming months through my mutterings here.
Being a dad is the most incredible experience and every day is filled with enormous love and pride and I hope I convey through my experiences just how wonderful it is. With my life set to change again with our new arrival in November, life and my happiness will once again reach a new level…

Tanya & Adrian are two of the happiest and sweetest people I know, and I was lucky enough to capture their special day. We went to Jericho Beach Park for the first look, where we stumbled upon a field of flowers. Tanya hand-painted all of the seating placements at the reception, which was held at the beautiful Cecil Green Park House. Between soccer chants, moving speeches and two genuinely great people - this wedding was full of love, and was a pleasure to be apart of.
I'm so happy for you two, all the best!

Left the workshop feeling confident
"Everyone left the workshop feeling confident with some new tricks for looking, feeling, and acting their best. It was a great day and a great reward for the team. We wanted to hold a special and unique training session for our large HR Service Center team who had been through a lot of change over the past year. We wanted it to be informative, educational, fun and personal. We worked with Wendy to design a workshop covering business etiquette, first impressions and professional image. The full-day workshop was a great success as it hit all the points we were looking for. Everyone learned some great etiquette techniques for a wide variety of business situations ranging from the office environment to entertaining situations. Everyone learned first impression tips and techniques for meeting and working with a wide range of employees and customers. And we learned the real but often overlooked value of professional image as Wendy and her team taught useful techniques for looking your best for appearance, hair, makeup for the women, and skin care for all. Wendy and her team even completed a number of mini-makeovers to show how small changes and techniques can build self-confidence. Everyone left the workshop feeling confident with some new tricks for looking, feeling, and acting their best. It was a great day and a great reward for the team."

Morgan Duchesney
Sensei Duchesney has dedicated over twenty-three years of intensive effort and research to enhance his teaching of martial arts technique, history and philosophy.
Main technical interests:
The lingering effects and limitations of a severe knee injury and multiple surgeries inspired Sensei Duchesney to modify and customize his martial arts practice in an effort to prolong his personal practice and teaching activities.
He is aware that many injured and older people may consider themselves unfit for martial arts practice and wishes to provide a venue for these learners since most techniques can be modified for individual needs. This practice, in fact; occurred each time a new Karate system was created according to the needs and taste of the senior student inheriting his master's role. Therefore, this practice is both well-established and even vital.
Modifying kata applications for use in practical self-defense and specialized classes for women and learners with physical and/or psychological challenges.
Teaching "court defensible" techniques of reasonable force to students of any age, size and physical ability including learners with limited mobility and wheelchair users.
Adapting martial art weapon techniques for self-defense with everyday objects.
Conducting children's empowerment seminars during events like the Canterbury Community Association's Pink Shirt Anti-Bully Day: 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018.
Related martial arts interests:

LG Electronics Co yesterday unveiled a curved-screen smartphone, taking on rival Samsung Electronics Co in a niche market seen as a first step on the road to fully flexible products.
Despite its name, the "G-Flex" does not bend, but uses flexible OLED (organic light-emitting diode) to produce a curved 6 inch display.
The model is "the best representation yet of how a smartphone should be curved," LG mobile unit president Park Jong-seok said, in a clear dig at Samsung.
Earlier this month, Samsung started retailing its "Galaxy Round" — a 5.7-inch handset with a display that curves from side-to-side fitting the contour of the hand.
The "G-Flex" is curved on the vertical axis, the company said, to "follow the contour of the face."
Curved displays are already commercially available in large-screen televisions offered by both Samsung and LG.
The displays are supposed to offer a more immersive viewing experience, but are significantly more expensive than standard screens.
The Galaxy Round is only available in South Korea and retails at 1.08 million won (US$1,000).
Curved screens are still at a nascent stage in display technology, which is shifting toward flexible panels that are bendable or can even be rolled or folded.
LG said the G-Flex would be available to South Korean consumers from next month, but did not provide a price estimate.

Byron Carlson Petri & Kalb, LLC
Providing experienced and passionate representation, Byron Carlson Petri & Kalb, LLC, is ready to protect your rights. Located in Edwardsville, Illinois, they represent clients in St. Louis and throughout Metro East and the Illinois Riverbend.
Rebecca Reilly - Operations Director:
"When we started working with Acropolis Technology Group, we were a small group of attorneys and even smaller group of staff. They were a small group working out of a space in Wood River, Illinois. That was more than 13 years ago. Since then, with expert assistance and guidance of staff at Acropolis Technology Group, we have more than doubled our firm size and been able to be innovative in the area of technology advancements, on a moderate budget. A few years ago, in an effort to reduce overhead costs, we stepped away from Acropolis Technology Group. We learned very quickly not all technology companies are created equal. The loss in staff productivity and missed deadlines, due to down time, can swiftly exceed the belt tightening savings earned from the competitor we tried.
The staff at Acropolis Technology Group is meticulous in problem solving and eliminating our downtime, not only in daily operations but also during major projects, such as server upgrades and firm relocations. Acropolis Technology Group has protected our server from constantly evolving outside threats. After a Crypto Locker attack, Acropolis Technology Group was able to recover and restore all our files in a very short amount of time. Additionally, they added a preventative measure to protect our system from future attacks. We learned not long afterwards that measure was put to the test and worked just as designed. The brain power of the NOC, who field the daily calls and address all the troublesome issues users encounter quickly with little interruption. Our assigned vCIO and different project managers we have worked with over the years have always surpassed our expectations in implementation, deadlines and mitigation of server / email / internet outage.
Often times, we put unrealistic expectations on our technology – expecting it to churn away day after day without fail and sometimes maintenance. The Acropolis Technology Group Helios Managed Client program surpasses the expectations we have, even those unrealistic ones. There is constant, behind the scenes management of our software and system. This monitoring gives us the peace of mind, knowing our technology is protected. It, also, allows us to better focus our time on our clients. The well-oiled machine that the Butler brothers have built is responsive and vigilant in current and future needs of our firm. Pat, James, Scott, Gary, Brad, Barton, Sarah, Mike, Chris, Joe, Sugi and the rest of the team of voices on the phone, who work tirelessly to make sure we continue to be successful in our business, meet industry standards for safeguarding client information and stay connected, always make our concerns their own. We are more than a customer at Acropolis Technology Group, they treat us like family."
