Bandit Signs
– You've probably seen marketing signs adorning street corners and front yards, but you may never have known what they are referred to as in the real estate investing world. Bandit signs. These signs are inexpensive to create and can provide unique and targeted campaign messages. Many successful real estate investor marketing systems encompass a bandit sign campaign.
Bandit signs serve as a billboard that is low cost and moveable. Often bandit signs can be placed strategically within target neighborhoods that investors are looking to enter or where they already have existing properties. The cost-effectiveness that bandit signs offer as well as timely marketing is nearly unparalleled in the world of marketing.
The primary goal of any bandit sign marketing campaign is to create leads on a consistent basis. So let's go over the in's and out's of these signs and how to create your own campaign.
While the idea behind a bandit sign campaign is pretty simplistic, it does take some forethought and planning to get the phone ringing. The first thing to consider is your target audience. Determining who you want to target is important as that is who the messaging should speak to. For example, a bandit sign campaign that says "Joe Buys Houses" may result in some calls but may not compare as well to "Need to Sell Your House Fast?" or "We Buy Houses for Cash." The latter headlines attract more attention and are more likely to gain potential contacts that are falling behind on their mortgage or have inherited a property.
Type of Sign
Consider the kind of bandit sign you choose: size, the color of the sign, text color and size of the text. Another important feature of any bandit sign is the contact information. Whether you are using a phone number, website address or both, make sure to include a memorable phone number or website URL. More than likely people will be driving by the signs. Perhaps the sign is positioned near a busy main road or in a neighborhood. Either way, the point is that people are driving by. This means that someone is less likely to be able to write down a phone number or punch it into their cell phone as they drive. Including an easy to remember phone number or website helps. As an example, you could use (617) 555-2735 or (617) 555-1234. Which one would you remember better? Another critical item to consider is the size of the sign. Traditional sizes of bandit signs are 12"x18" or 18"x24" and are made up of corrugated plastic
Whether bandit signs are attached to telephone poles, yard stakes, or hung on buildings, the biggest thing about bandit signs is local ordinances. Not all communities welcome these signs into the neighborhood, hence the name 'bandit'. If you are contemplating on starting a bandit signs campaign, then be sure to check with local authorities to see restrictions on placing bandit signs on public property.
Tips for a Successful Bandit Sign Campaign
Lead intake systems such as a call center, Google Voice or a website squeeze page, can all handle incoming calls from bandit sign campaigns. While there is no magic number for a bandit sign campaign, usually the more the merrier. Most seasoned bandit sign marketers suggest ordering anywhere between 200 to 500 bandit signs to have on hand. While that might seem like a lot, bulk ordering means lower costs involved per sign and bandit signs have a tendency to be torn down or lost.
Bandit signs are much like a billboard but offer more exposure (since you can place them in multiple locations) and also usually encompass a much lower cost to create. A billboard is usually a one shot deal, whereas bandit signs can be picked up and moved strategically to other areas or put away until more leads are needed. It is one of the more flexible forms of direct advertising that you will find since there is no contract or commitment that is necessary. When strategically placed in the right locations, bandit signs have the opportunity to pay for themselves time and time again. Highly targeted leads can be worth a lot of money and a bandit sign campaign doesn't take much time or money to get into place. Whether you are a novice or experienced investor, a bandit sign campaign just may be the item needed to take your business to the next level!

Whether you're applying for a scholarship, a place on a master's course or a full-fledged job, you need to provide relevant information to sell yourself to those choosing the best candidate.
The best way to do so is to create a killer resume or curriculum vitae (CV) that describes you, your experience and all you've achieved thus far.
How do you know which type of document to produce, though?
To some, a resume and a CV may seem like interchangeable words. It turns out there are differences between the two documents, as well as differences in the types of places you'd send a resume versus a CV.
To make that decision clearer — and to make the creation of your resume or CV easier for you — here are the biggest differences between the two documents. Read More

Japan's Economic Malaise
In 1989 Japan was widely viewed as an economic super-power. After three decades of robust economic growth it had risen to become the world's second-largest economy. Japanese companies seemed to be obliterating entire American industries, from automobiles and semiconductors to earthmoving equipment and consumer electronics. Japanese companies …show more content…
The 1985 Plaza accord that depreciated the US Dollar versus the Japanese Yen and the West German deutschemark. This had an effect of appreciating the Yen against the dollar which proved harmful the country's export-driven economy as their products became more expensive. Growth measured in nominal GDP was flat for nearly 2 decades due to the combination of slow economic growth and deflation.
Stock Market collapsed – asset prices collapse due to the bursting of various bubbles
Property Prices Plunged – due to the oversupply of property and debt
Banks sharply curtailed the easy lending practices that financed the boom – maybe in an effort to make themselves more liquid banks did not want to expose themselves to risky loans
Consumers stopped spending – consumer confidence dropped due to the economy
Consumers expect prices to continue to fall, delaying purchases – in an effort to sell products. Company's lowered their prices in an effort to make their products attractive to consumers.

The Chief of Naval Staff Admiral Nirmal Verma on Wednesday asserted that the Indian Navy remains focussed on its primary task of the country's security on the high seas and has not shifted focus after being tasked with the overall responsibility of coastal security.
"Just because of [the revamped] coastal security, we have not steered away from our role... the task is going on as before and another task [of coordinating coastal security] has been added. It has not distracted us from our main task," Admiral Verma said at a press conference ahead of the Navy Day celebration on Friday.
After last year's 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks, the Indian Navy is tasked with the overall responsibility of coastal security in co-ordination with the Coast Guard, Marine Police under States, Customs, and several other agencies.
Outlining his vision for the Indian Navy, Admiral Verma said the aim is to consolidate what has been done so far in respect of sensors, weapons; perform to attain peak efficiency; extract the maximum from its personnel and put accent on the construction of ships and platforms.
While the Navy stood for indigenisation in building warships, he lamented the speed at which the defence shipyards in the country are functioning. "We want to build [ships] at a certain pace," he said, adding that the current methodology adopted was more time-consuming than those followed by shipyards in other countries.
The Navy is acquiring a number of platforms – frigates, destroyers, corvettes, offshore patrol vessels, mini counter vessels, fast interceptors and tankers while finalising design for the landing platform dock on the lines of INS Jalashwa (USS Trenton).
Price negotiations for INS Vikramaditya (Admiral Gorshkov) aircraft carrier entered the fourth and possibly final round. The Navy Chief said work was progressing at the Russian shipyard and the carrier is expected to be inducted towards end 2012.
Work on the indigenous aircraft carrier was going on with some 10,000 tonnes of steel already in Hull. It is expected to be ready for launch next year ahead of the induction scheduled in 2014. While MiG 29 K will be on the deck of INS Vikramaditya, the Naval version of the Light Combat Aircraft is earmarked for the indigenous aircraft carrier.
The Navy hopes to issue a Request for Proposal for 6 Medium Range Maritime surveillance aircrafts and is looking for helicopters for its ships.
Seeking to lower the temperature on the presence of China in the Indian Ocean, he said that the country remains concerned as is India, since majority of the energy supplies passes through the sea lanes and the deployment was probably to meet the challenge.

We hear it all the time in advertising, some form of "right person, right place, right message." The ubiquity of this phrase shouldn't discount its validity—to really speak to your customers and show them something they want elevates the customer experience and drives long term ROI.
This is personalization. While its implementation can seem daunting, it can be helpful to think of the job in increments. Some of the tools you're already using today can be used to up-level your personalization strategies, and then you'll be on your way to more sophisticated use cases.
Start with Data Onboarding
Data onboarding, the process of bringing siloed data together through identity resolution, is often associated with targeting, but it can vastly improve personalization strategies. It's also a great place to start.
In the online world, you can deliver personalized ads based on short-lived cookie behavior (like when people come to your website and look at a product). But with onboarding, you can personalize digital ads based on de-identified offline behavior or attributes, like past purchases or interest data. This can be executed by using a data onboarding partner to deliver offline data to the DSP of your choice.
If you're personalizing content based on a more complete view of the customer, that content is going to be more relevant and more likely to drive an action. A home improvement retailer can onboard transaction data from customers who recently purchased a lawn mower in store and target those users with other gardening tools online.
Personalization is often used on web and mobile, but as technology advances, we're starting to see more sophisticated levels of personalization for platforms that were once not addressable.
Personalization on Addressable TV
Addressable TV might be new to you, but that newness shouldn't scare you away. Implementing a more personalized approach to TV can be relatively easy. Digital marketers will need to familiarize themselves with what may seem like a dated, unaddressable channel, but this mental barrier is easy to overcome as onboarding to addressable TV is easy to start.
You can onboard, and model for scale if necessary, the desired audience to a leading multichannel video programming distributor (MVPD) to deliver data at the household level. This will allow you to drive more relevant TV advertising for clients and get better efficiency for an expensive TV ad spend that actually works.
For example, an auto dealership can onboard customers who bought a car six months ago and target them with a commercial highlighting the dealership's experienced staff and extended open hours for various auto services.
Now that your customers have seen your ad through an addressable TV campaign, they may want to go to your website to check out the goods or services. While a user can click on a digital ad and be directed to the related content, this doesn't account for customers who visit your site on their own. You can easily recognize these customers if they log in, otherwise it'll take some work.
Website Personalization for Anonymous Users
Your website should welcome your users and make them feel at home, so you need to cater to them by serving personalized content in a privacy-conscious manner. But if you can't recognize who your customers are, you won't be able to treat them like valued guests.
If you work with an identity resolution provider, you can put a pixel on your site that will recognize the otherwise unrecognizable cookie that represents the customer who visits your site and map the cookie to a consistent, anonymous person-based ID. The person-based ID can be matched to the segment data in your CRM and you can then personalize their website experience based on de-identified attributes to this non-logged in user.
Now, you can ethically supercharge the customer experience on your site and elevate ROI opportunity by displaying products that the customer would more likely purchase. Using an identity resolution provider's pixel, a beauty retailer can recognize an unknown user as someone who has a long history of buying skin care products. Then, the retailer can personalize content and display products such as face masks on the front page, and not makeup like eyeshadows and lipsticks.
This use case is technically sophisticated and it's one step closer to the omnichannel, single-view of the customer that vastly improves customer experience and drives long term ROI.

You can vote, but you can't contest...
I may be reaching that age when I start looking at '16-year-olds' and actually assume they're much closer to 10 or 12. It might be an unfair impression, but I now include that age-group in the broader category of 'children'
Anyone remember that classic Al Pacino scene from 'The Devil's Advocate'? About the 'rules' set for mankind by a 'prankster God' for his own 'cosmic amusement'?
'Look, but don't touch. Touch, but don't taste. Taste, but don't swallow...'
Well, what brought it to mind this week was a certain Bill currently being debated in parliament: the one about lowering the voting age to 16. For a while now, I've been sitting back quietly, wondering how long it's going to take people (not least, the soon-to-be enfranchised 16-18 age-bracket, who are the real victims of this prank) to finally identify the catch. But unlike Al Pacino's Lucifer, I don't actually have all eternity to wait. And I'm starting to get impatient.
So I'll just add another line to the above rant: 'Vote... but don't contest'. Yep, my fine 16-year-old friends, that is the extent of the con inherent in that Bill. You're only getting one part of the package of civic rights that traditionally come with the concept of 'parliamentary representation'. And it just happens to be the part that works out to the benefit of the existing political class, and to your own detriment.
It's the part where you get to show your loyal, unwavering support for your glorious (older) political leaders.... and not the part where you might actually get to threaten or challenge that political establishment in any way, by offering a real alternative at the polls.
In a nutshell, you are being told to your faces that government considers you 'mature enough' to vote for older, more... um... 'mature' candidates... but not to enter your own candidacy in any election, and thereby offer any form of 'competition' to the privileged 18+ bracket.
In a way (but only a very small way), I'm almost glad my own 'sweet 16' days elapsed almost exactly 30 years ago. If I was still in that age bracket myself, I would feel insulted and exploited. With an emphasis on the latter, mind you. Insults don't bother me all that much, when it comes to it (though it may have been a different story in my teens). But exploitation? That's a serious matter. And this is a classic case of it.
OK, let me try and illustrate by means of a small analogy. This is not the first time Malta has debated changes to its electoral law, to widen the electoral pool and include large swathes of previously ineligible voters. In 1945, the Labour government led by Paul Boffa oversaw the introduction of the vote for women... a much more numerous category than 16-18 year olds, accounting for roughly half the population.
Can you imagine how it would it have gone down, even at the time (let alone now), had Boffa's government merely granted women the right to vote for all the male candidates on the ballot sheet... but not the right to contest elections themselves, on an equal footing with men? Sadly, it's too late to ask former president Agatha Barbara how she'd have reacted... but I'd love to hear her opinion in the matter. She was one of the women who contested the first election in which women could vote. And she got elected by a landslide.
And please note, this was 1945. How 'egalitarian', as a society, could Malta possibly have been back then? We still suffer from evident misogyny today, 80 years later. But even in postwar Malta – i.e., long before (as Frank Zappa later put it) 'women's liberation came creepin' all across the nation' – we seem to have at least understood the very basic principle of proportional representation in a liberal democracy. We instinctively knew, way back in our political prehistory, that 'the right to vote' and 'the right to contest' are not merely bedfellows that share a passing family resemblance: they are one and the same right. Or to be more precise, they represent different sides to the same coin: both arise directly out of the principle of parliamentary representation, which is the cornerstone of our particular brand of democracy.
If you have the right to be represented in Parliament... how on earth can you not also have the right to represent others in the same arena? OK, let me try another analogy: Sandro Chetcuti's analogy this time, when he (very accurately) compared the two parties to 'giant supermarkets' catering only for the construction/development lobby.
As far as I know, Malta operates on a 'freedom of enterprise' model: within all the usual legal/regulatory parameters (licensing, tax-paying, etc) anyone in this country is free to start up a business or open up a shop. Not all of us do it, naturally. Some of us consider it unnecessary, because the items or products we need are already available at someone else's shop. Why go through all the hassle of importing/producing that product yourself (unless, of course, you're attracted to the business potential, but let's not take the analogy too far)? Most consumers wouldn't bother. They'd content themselves with shopping around for what's already available.
It's the same with political parties. Some of us might have ambitions to form our own party, or contest on behalf of the existing ones... but most of us don't bother. Most of us are 'content' (to varying degrees) to simply vote for what's already on offer.
Well, what we are now looking at is a scenario whereby one socio-demographic grouping – which numbers around 8,000 people – are being told that they are free to 'buy'... but not to 'sell'. Others are eligible to set up their own 'businesses' and peddle their 'wares' in public... but this new caste of untouchables must perforce be satisfied with the array of items already on the supermarket shelves.
If they're not – if they'd like a choice of different wares, and are willing to go through the hassle of producing those wares and selling them themselves – well, tough. That's a privilege reserved for the older kids on the block. These newly 'enfranchised' kiddies are precluded from competing with existing 'businesses'. To ditch the analogy and return to the electoral scenario: these new voters will not be able to form new parties of their own, nor run on any existing party ticket (thereby, who knows? Effecting changes from within the party, instead of without). Heck, they can't even do a Spiridione Sant, and contest as independents.
They can only buy the products offered to them by the very people who are now changing the rules to allow them to shop from their own supermarkets. There's a word for that in business circles, you know. It's called a 'monopoly'. And who benefits the most from a monopoly? The consumer, or the greedy cartel which reaps all the profits in the absence of any competition?
The situation would be bizarre enough, even if all that were the full extent of it. But there is another, more serious consideration.
To be perfectly frank, I myself am in two minds when it comes to widening the electorate to include 16-year-olds (with or without the right to contest). It has nothing to do with 'doubts about their maturity', or anything like that... for the simple reason that I have much bigger doubts about the maturity of all those existing MPs... and not one of them is younger than 28.
No, it's more because I may be reaching that age when I start looking at '16-year-olds' and actually assume they're much closer to 10 or 12. It might be an unfair impression, but I now include that age-group in the broader category of 'children' (just as they, no doubt, take one look and consign me to the broad category of 'old fogey'). And, like the old fogey I am, I have serious misgivings about exposing 'children' to such a dark, twisted and utterly unscrupulous world. I think it might be wiser – if not kinder – to spare them that exposure for those two more years. If nothing else, so they can enjoy their teens while they still can, and like the rest of us can't.
But I also concede that the 16-year-old perspective may indeed be a much-needed boon to contemporary politics. I mean, let's be honest. We adults have made a total mess of things. As the rest of the news this week has once again reconfirmed, all we've really managed to do is cement and perpetuate Sandro Chetcuti's famous analogy as a state of fact. We've created a system of blatant political nepotism and capitalism, that has consistently been beyond our collective efforts to reform in any way (largely because there have, in fact, never been any 'collective efforts' at all).
Would 16-year-olds change that? To be perfectly honest, I haven't a clue. But – for all my previous misgivings – I'd say it's certainly worth a shot. What's the worst that could happen, anyway? Parliament would degenerate into an embarrassing circus of schoolyard name-calling and immature antics? Been there and done that long, long ago... with no teenage input of any kind.
Ah, but that's precisely what irks and irritates me about this new law. It is designed to allow teenage participation in the electoral process, yes... but also to prevent the new reality from in any way upsetting the two parties' precious apple-cart. You can take part in the show, but you can't influence proceedings too directly. You can approve or reject our policies, but you can't come up with any of your own. And above all, you – all 8,000 of you – can give the existing political class a whole new voter segment to be specifically targeted by means of more electoral promises, more niche-specific billboard campaigns, more gimmicks, more hampers, more job offers, more free tablets and Ipads... in a word, more 'pjaciri'.
How is that going to 'change the system', exactly? What effect could it possibly have... if not to cement that very same clientelistic atavism even further, by extending it to a whole new generation of voters?
And then you get little devils like Al Pacino calling God a 'prankster'. God...

NIH should not deny chimps sanctuary
Over 40 chimpanzees have been languishing at the Alamogordo Primate Facility (APF) in New Mexico for years. On October 24, 2019, with the excuse that it's for their own good, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) announced that the APF chimps would not have their chance for freedom. These chimpanzees were used in horrific experiments, many funded by NIH, as well as other government agencies. Fortunately, research using these chimps ended almost two decades ago, but they cannot wait to be moved to a sanctuary home.

Tell Congress to Say No to GE Salmon
Despite the widespread concern voiced by consumer groups, the public, environmental organizations, and AAVS, the federal government has given the final OK for genetically engineered (GE) salmon to be marketed and sold as food. Developed by Aqua Bounty Technologies, the salmon is engineered to contain a growth hormone gene from Chinook salmon and a promoter gene from an ocean pout, making it grow twice as fast as those in the wild. The development of GE salmon is a gross misuse of biotechnology and it puts the welfare of animals at serious risk.
USDA Transparency on Animal Welfare Worsening
Ask Congress to Investigate
Please contact your legislators and ask them to investigate USDA's lack of transparency and poor track record in the protection of animal welfare. To take action, visit www.aavs.org/investigate. If you do not have access to the internet, you can write your Representative at U.S. House of Representatives, Washington, DC 20515, and your Senators at U.S. Senate, Washington, DC 20510.
HEARTS Act Could Make a Difference for Animals in Labs
The Humane and Existing Alternatives in Research and Testing Sciences (HEARTS) Act, introduced in February, will help "ensure that non-animal methods are prioritized, where applicable and feasible, in proposals for all research to be conducted or supported by the National Institutes of Health." The bill states what AAVS and many other advocates have long believed, that animal welfare "oversight is generally weak and little heed is paid to the use of non-animal methods or the avoidance of duplication, thereby unnecessarily subjecting animals to pain, suffering, and death."
Tell USDA to Do Its Job!
Having no voice, animals need and deserve protection from the industries that use and exploit them, and it's the job of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to protect their welfare. The Animal Welfare Act (AWA) requires USDA to inspect animal dealers, breeders, exhibitions, and laboratories to help assure that animals are provided minimal standards of care and treatment. Despite the law, however, USDA has indicated a willingness to skirt on its responsibility to protect animal welfare by adopting a system that would permit third parties to perform inspections, which could be used to reduce oversight by the USDA.
USDA Still Blocking Access to Welfare Reports
After several years of making animal welfare reports and legal documents available on its website, in February, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) blocked the public, animal groups like AAVS, and the media from having access to nearly all information related to the welfare of animals at laboratories, dealers, carriers, breeders, and exhibitors from its website. Gradually, some info has been restored, and most recently, the searchable database has been enabled. However, this reservoir of information continues to have notable omissions and inconsistencies, raising questions about whether information on facilities is complete. It also shows a lack of transparency on the part of USDA.
Stop Exports of Monkeys Destined for Labs
Last year, Mauritius exported over 4,000 macaques to the U.S., over 50 percent more than in 2013. By far, the majority of monkeys were shipped to laboratories like Primate Products, which imported 1,000 macaques alone. Additionally, two shipments of macaques coming from Mauritius last year were named in violations involving charges of inhumane shipment under the Lacey Act and violations of endangered species law.
Please help stop the exportation of primates from Mauritius!
House of Horrors: UW-Madison Resurrects Infant Isolation Studies
During the 1950s and 1960s, University of Wisconsin researcher Harry Harlow conducted his maternal deprivation experiments, in which newborn monkeys were taken from their mothers and forced to live in total isolation, causing severe psychosis. Earlier this year, an experiment that recalls those dark days was approved by the University's Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) as a way to study anxiety in humans.
Air France, Stop Transporting Primates!
Animal advocates have been successful in international efforts to convince every major passenger airline to stop its transport of primates for research, except for one: Air France.

New York, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/10/2016 -- ReportBazzar has included a new report titled "Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) Market Share Analysis: Market Shares, Analysis, and Index, Module, Worldwide, 2006 to Current, Quarterly" to their offering.
Request Sample Report: Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) Market
Application lifecycle management (ALM) provides governance, development, and maintenance for application software. Requirements management, software architecture, programming, testing, change management, continuous integration, project management, and release management are fundamental to lifecycle management. Modern software development processes are complex.
New systems must accommodate all manner of server, cloud, and virtual computing platforms. Software frameworks are evolving that require attention to the entire application focus. Mobile devices need to be accommodated. A software framework is a platform for developing software. Applications depend on functions that can be used to input variables from a process. Input is used to manage hardware devices, and permit interaction with system software. ALM streamlines the development process permitting programmers to achieve efficiency through reuse of code when developing a new application. A framework is similar to an application programming interface (API), though a framework includes an API. A framework serves as a foundation for programming, while an API provides access to the system elements. ALM supports code libraries, a compiler, and other programs used in the software development process.

Michael Irwin suddenly realized that he wasn't satisfied with the consistency of his life. It ranged somewhere between that of oatmeal, and crisp white sheets newly out of the dryer, on a freshly made bed. When asked about his life, Michael Irwin would use tentative, innocuous words such as 'Fine,' 'OK,' and 'Good' to describe it, or if he were feeling particularly fortunate, he might even utter the phrase: 'Can't complain.'
But the most daunting aspect of Michael Irwin's life was not the texture, particularly, but rather that the texture had remained consistent for more than ten years. A new car, a new job, a trip to Hawaii, these were all different flavors, toppings, but they couldn't disguise the fact that at the end of the day it was still Michael Irwin underneath. His condominium, his investment portfolio, his retirement plan, the annual exam when the doctor would slap on the powdery latex glove—the most intimate five minutes of Michael Irwin's year—the trips to the dentist every six months. All of these things insured a constant, painless consistency.
A haircut every two weeks: 'High and tight please.' Finger and toe nails trimmed every Sunday evening, brushing and flossing twice a day, a shave every morning, sitting on the toilet after the morning cup of coffee, drinking eight glasses of water a day, checking and double-checking his diet against the government suggested Nutritional Pyramid, blinking, breathing, heartbeat.
'Can't complain.'
Although Michael Irwin would never admit it, there was a certain relief he had felt after his parents had both finally passed away. Naturally there was a grieving period first; he had looked up the five stages of grief on the Internet to ensure that he was doing it properly and on schedule. Undoubtedly he had loved them, with good cause, as they had given him a supportive and nurturing upbringing. But there was a certain accountability to them which he had always felt infringed, in some unspoken, guilt-laden manner…in the end it really hadn't made that much of a difference in his life. After all, he was a model son—no, a model citizen.
So Michael Irwin was more than shocked to discover that he appeared, at the tender age of thirty-two, to be having a mid-life crisis. It was not, in the sphere of human self-consciousness, a significant age. Decades, being the arbitrary, metric measurement of age, were typically regarded by society as monumental. Forty he might understand, fifty most definitely. But thirty-two? Curious.
Also atypical was his reaction to the seemingly minor crisis. He did not go out and buy a fast car, (as he already owned, and had always owned, a fast car,) nor did he cheat on his wife with a vacuous, young blond. The consummate bachelor, Michael Irwin had always made it a point to date young, attractive women—between the ages of twenty-three and twenty-nine, and preferably not sporting unaltered hair color or skin pigment. And professional. Not in the sexual sense, but rather in the career sense. Well-educated, well-connected, well compensated. Like himself. A professional.
No, typically a mid-life crisis would signify some sort of sudden realization by a person that they had, in fact, no control over their life. So Michael Irwin was a bit perplexed that he himself, having complete control over every small detail in his life, down to the color of his matching pot holders, and the brand of imported candles that graced all the right spots in his apartment, seemed to be having a mid-life crisis. He had considered studying up on the subject, but that in and of itself would be an acknowledgement that he had lost control of this tint that was overshadowing his life.
However he couldn't escape the fact that his life hadn't really changed since his second year of college. Major decided (Business, of course,) degree collected, his second job interview nailed, promotions and raises well deserved and periodically given. Everything he wanted to own and wanted to do, he had bought and had done, thus far, efficiently and successfully. But experiences seemed to have ceased being "new" around the age of twenty or so…now they were more just variances on the same theme. Toppings.
'Can't complain.'

BriForum 2015 - (Denver) A Powershell Tutorial for Controlling all Aspects of Your Desktop Virt
How to Make PowerShell Sit Up and Beg: The Essential Tutorial for Creating Scripts That Control All Aspects of Your Desktop and Server Farm
Presented by Kevin Goodman
Sure, you can go to some other conference this year to learn how to create registry entries and move files around by writing Windows PowerShell scripts. But, in just 75 minutes at BriForum, you will learn how to do anything you can do in C#, C++, or Java with a PowerShell script. Learn how to build a GUI application that rivals any app built by those snobs over in development. Learn how to control any application, including services and device drivers. Most importantly, you'll learn "how-to-learn" similar techniques for everything we don't cover in this session. Do you need to be a programmer to attend this session? Nah. If you understand the concepts of sequence, selection, and iteration and know how to read OPC (other people's code), then you will benefit from this session. You will learn how to write posh scripts that:
- Control other applications including services and kernel mode device drivers
- Have a GUI (graphical user interface)
- Elevate privileges to allow non-administrative users to perform administrative tasks
- Run in the context of another user
- Create and consume events from the Event Manager
Session Takeaway: Even if you are not an advanced programmer, this session will enable you to tackle advanced projects by simply writing scripts. Impress your C++ and Java friends with scripts that can do everything their languages can do -- with less time and effort.

It happens all the time: Investors complete a periodic review of their financial interests, only to discover their returns are falling short of expectations. Perhaps they seem to lose when the market loses, but fail to make bullish gains when the charts are looking up. Few things can be more frustrating than feeling like your investments are creeping along at a snail's pace instead of following the market's upward trajectory.
If you feel that your personal portfolio is underperforming expectations, you may have difficulty pinpointing the source of your problem. After all, a well-diversified investment portfolio has many moving parts, all of which are constantly changing. Furthermore, chances are you have other things to do besides spend hours dissecting every component of your financials. In this article, we will explore reasons your investments may be underperforming and what you can do to alter the course of your financial future.
When Dalbar* studied average investor performance of the previous two decades, the results it uncovered were surprising. During the past 20 years, the average person who invested in market equities came up short of the S&P 500's returns by a margin of nearly five percent. In terms of long-term capital gains, that is a significant difference in capital growth. Narrow the numbers down even further, and you will find that investors underperformed by a whopping 8% in 2014 alone.
So how does that happen when the average investor could simply invest in a broad S&P 500 fund that returns the market average? How does an investor take small gains or even losses when the overall market is growing by leaps and bounds? Could it be that every person is making poor individual investment choices, or is something else going on?
The truth is there could be a myriad of reasons an investment portfolio would fall short of what one would hope. However, some reasons are more common than others.
The most obvious reason for underperformance is found in the structure of the portfolio itself. The equities market is a reflection of what is happening in the U.S. and world economy. Many factors influence stock performance, including news, legislation, corporate earnings, and more. It is a highly fluid economy that changes year to year, month to month, day to day, and even hour by hour. There are times when some sectors outperform with tremendous growth and others when certain sectors lag when the rest of the market is experiencing growth. If your portfolio holdings are not aligned so that you are exposed to a well-diversified representation of the whole market, you could get left behind and experience poor overall performance of your portfolio.
Another reason portfolios underperform is due to investor behavior. Humans have natural reactions to changes in the market – specifically market corrections. When things are not going well, it can incite worry or even panic. When everything is spinning out of control, a spooked investor may jump out of equities to preserve cash in an attempt to escape what feels like a sinking ship. They are willing to take the small loss if it means avoiding a big one.
While it may feel good to avoid a financial catastrophe, it is important to remember that a loss isn't really a loss until it is realized. Sometimes, riding out the storm and continuing to invest despite it could generate the greatest returns once the market rebounds.
Another reason portfolios fall short of average gains is due to poor financial planning. Investors should be financially prepared for market fluctuations, as well as personal financial changes when beginning to invest. That means having a well-funded short-term savings account that allows access to liquid capital for unexpected expenses. If all of an investor's money is tied up in a tax-sheltered retirement fund, he or she may feel tempted to borrow or take early distributions for emergency expenses – an action that could result in penalties that eat into capital gains. Not to mention, doing so can significantly disrupt the return potential of the investor's now diminished portfolio.
Media is a powerful influence when it comes to investor behavior. Negative information and biased opinions are constantly blasted on 24-hour news channels, as well as financial blogs and news websites. When media outlets run pessimistic headlines in an effort to attract readership, it takes the spotlight off of where the focus should be and shines it on a slew of downbeat information. It is only human nature to avoid unnecessary risk and try to avert potential losses. They often jump out of stocks at the sound of unflattering information instead of keeping the money invested for better returns.
Ultimately, you cannot achieve success until you understand your investment goals. We recommend assigning purpose to your money and determining how long you have before you expect to take withdrawals. We also recommend assessing your personal risk tolerance to better understand which types of investments are right for you.
Next, you should connect with a financial advisor here at our office to learn how to build a portfolio that matches your preferences and needs. We'll help you cut through all the hype and noise, allowing you to stay the course regardless of what is going on around you. We'll also help you re-assess your investment behavior and financial goals as you reach special milestones or face unexpected events in your life.
For more information or to request a personal financial consultation, we invite you to contact our Honolulu financial advisement office today. We look forward to helping you achieve financial success for years to come.

Even if animated emoji is something that is below for quite some time, since the launch of apple iphone X they in some way ended up being a should on a mobile phone. And Samsung is no various. Their response to animoji is AR emoji.
A few of the reviews claim that AR emoji are a little bit weird and also not enjoyable, however we differ. We like them and also can't wait to obtain our hands on it.

The Marcellus shale formation which spans 104,000 square miles across Pennsylvania and West Virginia has received incredible interest in recent years. The natural gas extracting and processing companies, MarkWest Energy and Antero Resources, have continued to invest heavily in deep-well fracturing throughout West Virginia and, more specifically, Doddridge county.
The result has been an overall increase in businesses within the county. Some support the new industry directly through construction while others indirectly support it through services. New diners, restaurants, gas-stations, RV camping lots, as well as a coffee-shop, and newspaper have all arrived within the last year.
While deep-well fracturing has brought incredible growth to Doddridge in recent years, that's not to say the county was empty before natural gas industry arrived. The town of West Union has always been a hub of activity successfully supporting several restaurants, grocery stores, hair-salons, car-repair shops, florists, a hardware store, pharmacy, and many other local businesses.
Agriculture holds an important place in Doddridge county economics. Several family owned and operated farms raise livestock including cattle, sheep, and poultry which are the county's leading agricultural products. While the timber industry is not as large as it was in the late 19th century, it is still an important part of the county. Today, logging companies often work with the natural gas industry to clear land for roads and facilities.
The number one employer in Doddridge county is the North Central Regional Jail which services eight surrounding counties including Ritchie, Monongalia, Marion, Harrison, Wood, Wirt, Tyler, and Pleasants.

Welcome back to Form D Friday, where we take a look at local regulatory filings each week to see who's raising capital for a new project, a new investment idea, or to simply expand their business.
Form Ds don't typically have a lot of details, but they do provide an early glimpse at what investors and business owners are planning. Where we can, we'll track down some additional tidbits from filers. If you have any tips or comments about new fundraises, drop me a note at firstname.lastname@example.com.
This week, several real estate investment firms have ramped up their fund raises for everything from multifamily deals to self-storage and retail properties…
Madera Residential: $33 million
Lubbock real estate investment firm Madera Residential is attempting to raise a little more than $33 million for its fourth capital fund, according to a filing. The company, which operates many apartment complexes in the Dallas-Fort Worth area and across Texas, did its first deal for an apartment building in Baytown, Texas, in 2008 just after Hurricane Ike hit the area.
Phoenix Capital Partners: $6.7 million
Dallas real estate private equity firm Phoenix Capital Partners has raised $6.7 million as part of its "Dominion series," according to a filing. The firm taps its network of institutional investors, wealthy family offices and individual clients to go in on joint venture real estate projects with developers. The firm shifted to a private equity format in 2009 to focus on multifamily projects. They've invested in 68 projects since then.
Crow Holdings: Unknown
Dallas real estate giant Crow Holdings Capital has registered a new private equity fund to invest in self-storage deals, according to a filing. It's unclear how much the firm intends to raise. Crow Holdings began investing in self-storage facilities in 2016. This fund appears to be focused on Class A buildings.
Newport Capital Advisors: $8 million
Dallas real estate investment firm Newport Capital Advisors has raised $8 million for a property deal, according to a filing. The firm invests between $1 million to $10 million its deals for multifamily and retail developments, typically as preferred equity behind a first mortgage. Newport focuses on older properties in secondary markets outside of big cities in the Midwest. The filing indicates the latest fund raise to be for a property called "Moore Plaza." There's a retail spot in Corpus Christi by the same name, but the firm didn't immediately confirm which one it was investing in.
RREAF Holdings: $1.6 million
Dallas real estate investment firm RREAF Holdings has raised $1.6 million for a portfolio of multifamily properties in the Southeast, per a filing. The firm is attempting to raise $3.8 million for the venture. The company, which was started in 2010, typically has a three- to five-year investment period.
Welcome back to Form D Friday, where we take a look at local regulatory filings each week to see who's raising capital for a new project, a new investment idea, or to simply expand their business.

In my first post of the year, I shared my most important goals for 2015. Some of the goals were to communicate better and pursue what makes me happy. I also wrote that I wanted to try my best to share my personal posts on this blog because I never wanted my blog to be a place filled with solely materialistic content. (Sometimes I think about things other than shoes and makeup, I promise.)
Well, here goes.
I am an introvert. If you don't know what that means, Dictionary.com defines an introvert as a shy person. I am not the President or a professor or claim to be more knowledgable than a dictionary but this is my blog (aka I am the ruling power of this corner of the Internet because I pay Internet rent for this space) so I'm going to say right now that this definition is completely wrong. At least, in my case.
You can be shy and an introvert. You can not be shy and be an introvert. Like almost everything in life, things aren't black and white. I don't cringe at the thought of speaking in front of crowds and I find interviews to be exciting. So what is an introvert? Rather than try to write you a definition that I deem fit, I just wanted to start a conversation about introversion and share my thoughts on this topic. A little different from the other content I've published but hey, trying new things is good for you.
Probably over a year ago, I first watched a TED talk by Susan Cain "The Power of Introverts" where she states introversion is not shyness because shyness is fear of social judgment and goes on to explain what introverted people offer society. Just recently in my Organizational Behavior class, we debated about whether introverted leaders or extraverted leaders are more successful. After hearing a few ignorant, typical statements about introversion, I just started thinking more about the concept of introversion and personality. There is a common misconception that introversion is bad and all introverts are socially awkward people who are no fun. Aside from the fact that generalizations like so are completely laughable, it shows that our society has somehow come to the conclusion that the types of situations that stimulate a person also dictate how well they can perform as a person.
As an introvert, I just want you to understand that by saying something like "Introverts make bad leaders because they're shy and they don't know how to talk to others and they're just boring, closed off weirdos" you are also saying that because someone feels more stimulated by being in a quiet, laid-back setting than being in a loud bar making small talk with strangers that this has a direct correlation with their ability to motivate others and think strategically to further the well-being of who they are leading. A bit of a stretch, if you ask me. Introverts simply don't seek as much dopamine as extroverts. Whether or not you can be a good leader has a lot to do with you as a person (not just one trait of your personality) and there is more to a person than how much of one chemical they need to feel most alive.
If you're still reading this, I'm impressed and thanks for having the interest to keep reading. I'm almost finished…let me wrap up here. // The reason why I titled this the way I did is because I only recently accepted that I am an introverted person. I used to be affected by societal misconceptions that urged me to believe this could only mean bad things for myself but part of growing up has turned me into someone who is more comfortable in my own skin than before. The more I live my life and experience all sorts of things, I realize I am not bound by this word. Introvert. I also realize that I am not a stereotype. I still like to go out, just not all the time. I like to go out when I want to but if I'm exhausted from a crazy week, staying in on a Friday evening to blog and watch Gilmore girls is okay too because smart people do what makes them happy. I can make really good small talk with you, but yes, I will find it a bit tiring after a while because I prefer to have a real conversation about something that we both find interesting. I don't find it exhilarating to talk about how my classes this quarter are. (They're good, is what I'll say because that's just what you say.) Since this epiphany, I've been more open minded to the different types of people around me. It has also done wonders for my happiness – another one of my 2015 goals. The pursuit of joy starts with learning how you can make yourself happy first so that you can spread it to others and tapping into your personality is a great place to start. I've also been able to put more energy into my creative hobbies and it's so fulfilling. Last but not least, it has let me be brave enough to share what's on my mind with you. My only hope is that you think about this for even a minute and that you are encouraged to either 1) reflect on your own personality type so that you can focus on doing more of what is right for you and/or 2) help you understand a little bit more about introversion.
If you have any thoughts about this, I'd love to hear them so comment or reach out to me on social media! Or if you just want to chat about anything..shoot me an email. Hugs to you all that have made it to the end of this crazy ramble. You rock.

About the Book
Winner of the 2014 ALA Pura Belpré Author Award
In Meg Medina's compelling new novel, a Latina teen is targeted by a bully at her new school --- and must discover resources she never knew she had.
One morning before school, some girl tells Piddy Sanchez that Yaqui Delgado hates her and wants to kick her ass. Piddy doesn't even know who Yaqui is, never mind what she's done to piss her off. Word is that Yaqui thinks Piddy is stuck-up, shakes her stuff when she walks and isn't Latin enough with her white skin, good grades and no accent. And Yaqui isn't kidding around, so Piddy better watch her back. At first Piddy is more concerned with trying to find out more about the father she's never met and how to balance honors courses with her weekend job at the neighborhood hair salon. But as the harassment escalates, avoiding Yaqui and her gang starts to take over Piddy's life. Is there any way for Piddy to survive without closing herself off or running away? In an all-too-realistic novel, Meg Medina portrays a sympathetic heroine who is forced to decide who she really is.

Give me Pizza!
LoveLoveLove pizza. One of my most missed dishes (and my most precious of cheats/treats) is Sal's Pizza on Commerce Street. THE most amazing pizza I have tasted since New York. The boys over at Sal's are awesome, and if you ever feel like falling off the wagon, that's where I would suggest you land 😉
I doubt Grok would have ever chowed down on an extra large, cheesy, gooey, doughy slice of heaven…but wait, I digress.
SO after trawling recipes over the past few months on the web, I mixed the best elements of a few and made my own much more cavemantastic version.
I offered to make some friends of mine a Primal meal the other night, and this seemed like the perfect time to test it out.
Here's what I came up with
Now, I just tossed a bunch of things in I thought would taste good, so I haven't put many exact measurements, just work out what tastes good. The crust actually turned out to be even better than the "real" thing.
1 cup almond meal (about 1/8 of which was macadamia meal)
2 egg whites (depending on size, should be about 1/3 of a cup)
Approx 3tbsp Almond butter
Drizzle olive oil
1 clove crushed garlic
Cayenne Pepper
Sea Salt
(I think from memory I might've sprinkled a few sesame seeds??? no sure)
Mix until you have a nice dough. It will be slightly sticky, but if it's too mushy, add more almond meal. I made this into two smaller pizza bases, but it will make one large one.
Press into either round or rectangular shape on baking paper (it WILL stick to the tray if you don't) I also lightly greased the baking sheet for good measure.
Whack it in the oven at about 170c for 10-15 mins or until coloured a nice nut-brown.
I made a Paleo BBQ Sauce based on this recipe from Son of Grok for pizza one, and the other one I defrosted a nice mexican tomato and veggie sauce I made a few weeks ago.
Pizza one I loaded up with meat of every description I had, as well as sliced tomatoes, rocket, fresh sliced chillis, and a sprinkle of cheese. When it came out I drizzled with a homemade cashew and spinach pesto. DROOL!
Pizza two got topped with leftover Chilli Chicken from the night before, plus all of the above ingredients, mushrooms and a dob of sour cream at the end. SCRUMPTIOUS!
These are even better cold as the flavours have a chance to really soak in.
Wish I'd taken photos, but these are so good I'll make again on Sunday and post em up.
For the time being it looked kinda like this…but YUMMIER!
I've found that for just about every Neolithic meal I used to enjoy, there is an equally, if not MORE delicious Paleo alternative.
Next on my menu testing board MEATZA. I'm serious. Check it out, this is some serious meatage.
Also, sending all my love out the the CrossFit New Zealand team, and Loz Roberts as they compete tomorrow in the CrossFit Games. We'll be cheering the guys on at Pohutukawa Bar from 5am tomorrow morning.
I could definitely go a slice of cold pizza for breakfast…

Almost all rail operations are handled by the China Railway Corporation, serving all provinces with the exception of the special administrative region of Macau. By the end of 2012, the conventional rail network covered a total length of 98,000 km (60,894 mi) and the high speed rail network was 9,356 km (5,814 mi).[1] China's rail transport volume is world's largest and in terms of transport volume growth also the highest, having six percent of the world's operating railways, but carrying 25 percent of the world's total railway workload. Qinghai Tibet rail way was completed in 2006 and it is the world's highest rail way with the most fascinating landscape of beautiful lakes including Kokonor lake, Tsonak lake and a great Kunlun and Nyenchen Thangla mountain range. By taking train from mainland China to Lhasa will help you to acclimatize to the high altitude and at the same time, you will enjoy Jangthang plateau and beautiful nature. There are several trains daily between Qinghai xining, Lanzhou and Lhasa. There are also trains coming from Beijing to Lhasa, Shanghai to Lhasa, Guangzhou to Lhasa, Chengdu to Lhasa,Xian to Lhasa and Chongqing to Lhasa but we recommend to take the train from Xining to Lhasa because the landscape from Qinghai Xining to Lhasa is the most beautiful part for the train ride from mainland China to Lhasa and it is around 23 hours train ride in total. There three different categories of train tickets which are the seat, hard sleeper and soft sleeper. We recommend to take either soft sleeper or hard sleeper according to your budget.

Soft sleepers are spacious 4-berth compartments with two upper & two lower berths by night, converting to two sofas for daytime use. All necessary bedding is provided. There's a table with tablecloth, and usually a vacuum flask of hot water for making tea (or drinking chocolate or cuppas soups if you've brought some). The compartment door locks securely, and a smartly-dressed attendant looks after each car. The best trains even feature individual TV screens and power sockets for laptops & mobiles. Passengers share with other passengers, but this is no problem, and a good way to meet people. Hard sleeper: If you're on a tight budget, or the soft sleepers are full, there's no reason why you shouldn't travel in a hard sleeper, as many western backpackers do. Hard sleeper consists of open-plan carriages with a broad aisle on one side of the car, bays of 6 bunks (upper, middle & lower) on the other side. In spite of the name, hard sleeper bunks are reasonably well padded, and bedding is supplied. Newer trains even have power sockets for laptops & mobiles.

VIRGINIA BEACH, VA. — Today, Elaine Luria released her seventh TV ad of the general election, "Mess." The ad features two Virginia voters who are fed up with Rep. Scott Taylor's record. "Mess" highlights Taylor's votes to gut healthcare protections for people with pre-existing conditions and to charge older Americans five times more for essential medications and procedures, which the AARP called an "Age Tax."
Additionally, the ad hits Rep. Taylor on his vote for the Republican Tax Bill, which gave large tax breaks to corporations, many of which are his campaign donors. "Mess" also touches on Rep. Scott Taylor's recent election fraud. The full ad can be viewed here:
"These neighbors have it right, Rep. Scott Taylor promised to be an independent voice in Washington, but instead he has voted along party lines almost 98% of the time and attacked affordable health care," said Elaine Luria. "Rep. Taylor puts the special interests that fund his campaign over the interests of Virginia families and his own re-election above all else. Virginians deserve someone who will fight for us in Washington."
The 30-second ad will run for several weeks on local stations.
