text: Insertion of disorder in thermal interacting quantum systems decreases the amount of level repulsion and can lead to many-body localization. In this paper we use the many-body picture to perturbatively study the effect of level repulsion in the localized phase. We find that most eigenstates can be described accurately in an approximate way, including many with rare resonances. A classification of the rare resonances shows that most types are exponentially rare and requires exponential fine tuning in an approximate description. The classification confirms that no rare thermal eigenstates exist in a fully localized phase and we argue that all types of resonances need to become common if a continuous transition into a thermal phase should occur.

Key information
- Station name: Stanhope
- Station ID: 8196
- River name: River Wear
- Typical range: 0.10m to 2.15m
- Highest level on record: 3.71m on 08 January 2005
- Site datum: 202.28mAOD (what does this mean?)
How are river levels measured?
The Environment agency uses a network of monitoring stations across the country. Each one has its own datum - a height in metres fixed relative to mean sea level. This height is expressed as metres above ordnance datum (mAOD). The river levels we provide for each monitoring station are all relative to its site datum.
If we didn't do this, we'd show some very high measurements, which could cause confusion. By using a local site datum, the river levels are easier to understand, especially by users familiar with the data from a particular monitoring station.
A river's height above ordnance datum can be seen by adding the site datum to the river level.
How often are river levels measured?
We use measuring stations like this one to collect water level data, usually once or twice a day. We collect data more frequently when there's a greater risk of flooding. That's why the graph might show a short time lag since the last measurement.
How might river levels affect flood risk?
This is the usual range of river levels at this station, based on historical data.
This means that flooding is possible because river levels at this station are currently higher than usual.
Many factors can influence the possibility of flooding - river levels are only one indicator. Always check if there's a flood warning in place at a particular location.
This means that river levels at this station are currently lower than usual.
Drought or water management measures may be in place. Please check for the latest information on water resources and restrictions in your area.
How are forecasts produced?
The forecasts shown here are computer models based on technical data, local conditions and Met Office rainfall predictions and may contain uncertainty. Because they're linked to the weather, forecasts can change quickly. We update them more frequently if the risk of flooding increases.
When we issue flood warnings and alerts we assess many factors including these forecasts, local conditions, tides and the weather forecast.
Flood warnings and alerts can still be issued even if water levels at a measuring station are forecast to remain within its typical range. For the latest information, always check for up to date flood warnings and alerts.

What else can I say about a country filled with racists who enslave children to work on fishing boats, sell their organs and commit countless atrocities on a daily basis. Funny that most people think the worst part of Thailand is how they treat their dogs and cats or the fact that some old white men buy prostitutes. Hate to break this to you brain dead idiots but Thai men frequent brothels more than white men. The brothels which cater to them are a bit more hidden but there are far more of them around. They just make it a bit more discrete so as to not tarnish their reputations. What a joke! All you tourists and digital nomads buy into that crap too. Morons!
Anyone who buys Thai products or comes to Thailand on vacation is guilty of supporting human slavery and human rights violations. Oh but you millennials are more worried about your carbon footprint right? Morons!! Hypocrites!!!
I too came to Thailand years ago thinking that the people were great and that it was foreigners who ruined the place until I learned the language and saw the sickness for myself. Not that there are not good Thais but the majority, especially the ruling class needs to be corrected! DO NOT BUY THAI!!!

he number one thing stopping you from everything you want is YOU.
Ugh… I know. I honestly hate hearing that.
Before we go any further… stop making yourself wrong for this. This is just how it is. We attract what we are and what we are is created by how we think and feel. So don't beat yourself up, that isn't helping! Get excited, and realize that if you are are the only thing stopping you from what you want, then that means you also have the power to be the one to create everything you you do want!
Think about the most important thing that you want in your life. It all starts with your thoughts. Your thoughts, create your emotions, which influence your actions, that create the habits, that lead you towards your vision. Your thoughts are capable of holding you back from everything you want.
Your limiting beliefs are killing your vision painfully and slowly. Believe me, I know, I've been there. Beliefs are at the root of everything we create in this reality.
How do we break past limiting beliefs? First things first, it's important to know that your thoughts are not real. I want you to write that down – "my thoughts are not real." Here's what's real – what's real is that you have an ability to think; you have a brain that thinks right? So, what's real is your ability to think – what's not real is all of the thoughts racing through your mind telling you that you can't do or have what you want; they're NOT true. Your thoughts are not the end all be all truth. You will believe they are, but I promise they are not.
REMEMBER THIS: "My thoughts are not real, what's real is my ability to think!" I got this from an amazing Transformational Coach and Trainer, Jim Fortin. I highly recommend looking him up.
Here's what's cool about having the ability to think; you can redirect your thoughts towards whatever is going to serve you – this will move you towards the vision that you desire.
If you have a thought that pops up – for instance – when I conceive a thought that says "I'm not good enough," or "I can't do this," or "this is going to be too hard." I remind myself that my thoughts are not real. Therefore, I don't need to get attached to that thought. What's real is my ability to think, so what do I do?
Now, write this one down too; I redirect my thoughts towards what serves me by shifting, by redirecting my thought towards what's going to propel me to take action towards my vision. What kind of thought will actually serve my vision: "I am good enough," "I can do it," "this is going to be easy," "I've got everything within me to be able to create whatever it is that I want to create."
You are going to believe whatever you think so you may as well start thinking in a way that empowers you. Your thoughts will absolutely create your reality; get attuned to your real nature as a powerful thinker and think thoughts that serve your vision.
What's the vision that you have and what's that one thought that is going to support you in creating that vision? Go ahead and put it in the comment below; let me know the thoughts that you're working with to create the vision that you want to manifest.
You have an innate ability to create your own positive reality through your thoughts – how do we break through and away from beliefs that limit you?
First, remember your thoughts are not real; second, remember that you have the ability to think – that's what's real; third, redirect your thoughts towards what's going to serve you and your vision.
Personally, I am constantly redirecting my thoughts towards a divine love – divine love is my mission, my intention, and my purpose on this planet. When I have a thought that's not consistent with divine loving thoughts I ask myself- What's a divine loving thought? That's the truth I want to create my reality from!
It's time for you to recognize that everything is possible – that there are infinite possibilities. So, connect and redirect your thoughts towards what fuels the infinite.
Remember, it's Freedom Project time!
So, if you're ready – if you're really prepared to break through, post a comment below and let me know how excited you are about the Freedom Project or check out our Freedom Project page. Doors will be closing soon!
You are welcome to join us! – You got one shot, so make sure to take advantage of it. This program will get you to deeply break through beliefs that limit you.

HeroHomes is a great local charity in Northern Virginia. Their mission is building for disabled veterans, right here in Loudoun County. HeroHomes was founded by my good friend Jason Brownell, a man with a true passion for helping others and the gift of craftsmanship. What I love most about HeroHomes is that every dollar contributed to the organization goes directly to supporting veterans.
My regular contributions to HeroHomes are made in honor of my father, Donald Lynn who served the US in Korea.

What children book did you read to your child(ren) when they went to bed? The one they asked you over and over again.
I read "good night moon" to Andy. He never got tired of it.
And later when he grew up a bit more, he wanted me to read him the Children's Bible.
Goodness, there were so many! I read to my kids a LOT and they may not have had decent shoes, but they had a ton of books. I remember one called, "Goodnight Sweet Mouse" Even after they outgrew me reading to them at bedtime, we'd still say "goodnight sweet mouse"
One of RT's favorites was "The Little Old Lady who Wasn't Afraid of Anything." over and over and over and......
Gracie liked a little golden book about horses that had been mine when I was a kid.
Ace wanted them ALL read to her.
My favorite's to read to them were the Jan Brett books because of the awesome illustrations. I actually got to take RT and my niece to one of her book signings.
We read lots of books too. For some unknown reason, my daughter was scared of "Goodnight Moon". She loved "10 Minutes til Bedtime', "officer Buckle and Gloria", "Somebody Loves You Mister Hatch", the Mr Putter and tabby series, the Henry and Mudge series, and Verdi.
Lots of Dr. Seuss, Golden Classics & Shel Silverstein (my favorites when I was young).
I also read classic fairy tales or longer stories that I would share over a couple of nights.
Wow brings back memories. My babies are not babies any more and read to themselves...
My daughter loved books, and still does. Her favorite was a book called "Patrick takes a bath" My son on the other hand didnt care for books, and still doesnt .
Good heavens, how could I have forgotten Dr. Seuss???? The ABC one seemed to be a favorite at our house. Who can forget the inimitable zizzer zazzer zuzz?????
I LOVED Curious George & Amelia Bedelia when I was young but didn't really read them to my kids not sure why.
Good Night Moon and several Dr. Susess books and The Little Red Hen.
Yes Mama, my girls loved Junie B. Jones in grade school!

When owning a vehicle, you will want to keep it in the best condition possible. There are many reasons why a vehicle might need to have the brakes tested or adjusted after you have been driving it. Road conditions affect the life of the brake almost as much as how you drive the vehicle. People who drive fast and hit a pothole can jar the brake pads or rotors so that they do not fit properly against the tire. It could cause scratching noises or even damage to the parts behind the tire that keep it stopping regularly. It is also recommended to bring your vehicle in so we can inspect it for you. This will help it to stay in a safe and reliable condition.
Signs the Brakes should be Checked
If you travel down a gravel road, those gravel pieces that fly up because you are probably going a little too fast can jump up and get in to the brake pads too, causing a grinding sound until it is knocked out. Hopefully it falls out or else that gravel could do serious and permanent damage to any of the brake system pieces. If you suspect the brakes have gravel, stones or other debris in them, take them in to a shop and have us look at it. It is better to be safe than sorry when it comes to the brakes. When you have them checked right away they might only need to be cleaned out instead of replaced, which would be a much more affordable option.
Issues with the Brake Line
There could be a problem develop with the brake line or the brakes at any time for one of several reasons. The conditions on the road can be jarring on the components, causing them to come out of alignment with the tire. For instance, a large pothole or a gravel road with divots can wreak havoc on the braking system, not to mention the suspension system, of the car. When you take a big hit with a pothole, slowly check the brakes after and make sure they function correctly. If they seem soft, it might not be a bad idea to go and visit the local shop immediately.
Know when the Parts should be Repaired
Most often, brake system parts cannot be fixed, they need to be replaced. The brake pads wear out because of the friction of being rubbed against the inside of the tire in order to get it to stop. Brand new brake pads are the only answer to keeping your vehicle stopping on a dime all of the time. Rotors and calipers can sometimes be fixed if they only get bent a little bit. But the strength and durability of their structure will probably be compromised and it is best to just go out and get all new parts. Once the tire is off anyway, it is easier to just have all of the parts that are bent or not functioning correctly replaced so the vehicle you are driving is always operating at the safest level.

One of the regular regattas that are held every year is the Volvo Ocean Race. The course for this race is a regular one but it is slated to undergo revision for the 2017-18 version. It will include a stopover in Australia that is a first in a decade of races that have been held under this series.
The change of the route of this year's event was announced on 17th February in Melbourne. This will see the race stopping in Australia, which would be the eighth time that this country is being included in this ocean race. The stopover would be a compressed one whereby Melbourne would be the stopover destination that comes with the race route between Hong Kong and Cape Town. This stopover will come after 45000 nautical miles are covered.
This stopover will also see the participants covering three times the usual number of miles that are covered in the Southern Oceans. The distance from Cape Town to Melbourne will make up the third leg of the race. This part of the race comprises of 6300 nautical miles, and will see the crews sail the same in one day as 80 yachts manage on a Bareboat Charter in Dubrovnik. Melbourne will be a stopover destination that will be a week long duration and it will mark the beginning of Leg 4 as the fleets move onto sailing to Hong Kong.
As per timeline projections the fleet of one design Volvo ocean race will arrive at the state capital city of Victoria around Christmas Day that will make the week long rest a celebratory period for sure. The ministry of tourism of the country states that the race would allow Victorians to see some of the best sailing teams across the world takes part in this legendary race. It is a great event that will draw in tourists from all over the country as well as from neighboring regions. It would certainly step up tourism activities in Melbourne and surrounding bay areas for that week.

The Ford Explorer is a great option for adventurous drivers, but if you're not yet ready to go through the financing process, you can always explore your Ford Explorer lease options! At Richmond Ford Lincoln, we're here to help our friends in Richmond, Mechanicsville, and Ashland get a better sense of our Explorer lease deals and processes.
Buying vs Leasing a Ford Explorer
Leasing a Ford Explorer is perfect for drivers looking to get around in a spacious SUV that aren't ready to commit to ownership. There are plenty of differences between leasing vs. buying. When you opt for a Ford SUV lease, you're looking at lower monthly payments than if you'd have financed it. An Explorer's lease also includes covered maintenance up until a certain mileage, and at the end of your leasing term, you can turn it in, buy it out of the lease, or simply lease a newer model.
Buying a vehicle has a lot of responsibility attached. Not only are the monthly payments higher, but you take on the depreciation of the vehicle. After the warranty is up, the maintenance and service are no longer covered.
Ford Explorer Engine Options & Performance
The Ford Explorer is one of the best Ford SUV vehicles to lease because it offers an impressive array of power with its engine options. The Explorer comes standard with a 3.5L V6. This engine comes paired with the 6-speed automatic transmission, and drivers have the option of Front-Wheel Drive or the Intelligent 4WD to help them tackle the tough terrain. In total, the Explorer offers three engine options for drivers to choose from when considering their lease:
- The base level 3.5L V6 can deliver 290 horsepower and 255 lb-ft of torque.
- The optional 2.3L EcoBoost® 4-cylinder engine produces 280 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque.
- The final engine option, the 3.5L EcoBoost® V6, can produce a remarkable 365 horsepower and 350 lb-ft of torque.
Leasing a Ford Explorer - What You Get with Passenger and Cargo Space
Why lease a Ford Explorer? How about because of its ample cabin space that's fit for both your passengers and cargo? The Ford Explorer can easily accommodate seven passengers over three rows of seating with enough room for cargo. The third row includes the 50/50 split bench, while the second row includes the 60/40 split bench, so the cabin can be accommodated for longer cargo or all the rows can be folded to include more cargo space.
- In terms of headroom, there's 41.4 inches in the front, 40.6 inches in the middle, and 37.8 inches in the third row.
- The front row offers 42.9 inches of legroom, while the middle includes 39.5 inches and the third row offers 33.3 inches.
- The Explorer offers 21 cubic feet of cargo space behind the third row, 43.9 cubic feet behind the middle row, and 81.7 cubic feet behind the third row.

Yelena Novikova, who works on various aspects of extra-financial risk integration, has taken part in the "G20 Global Solutions" Summit in Berlin. The think-tank Summit, that was organised by the newly launched G20 Global Solutions Initiative, is meant to further inform the G20 Think 20 process. Some of the world's most renowned policy-makers, economists and politicians participated in the event. German Chancellor Angela Merkel and members of her Cabinet, Nobel Laureates Edmund Phelps and George Akerlof, sustainable development visionary Jeffrey Sachs and many others contributed to this high-profile policy forum.
Some promising young experts from all over the world were invited to join this quest for global solutions to the world's most pressing problems. A select number of them also got a chance to participate in a new, prestigious side-event, "G20 Global Solutions Summer School".
Yelena Novikova is a graduate of Grenoble Ecole de Management, London Metropolitan University and KIMEP, who holds 4 university degrees. She is the only "Young Global Changer – 2017" in the world, who also got to participate in the "G20 Summer School" side-event this year.
"I work to show our society, policy- and decision-makers why we need to adopt and adapt certain state-of-the-art practices in Kazakhstan", - she says.
Integration of financially material Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) factors into is becoming increasingly mainstream around the world. This is supported by numerous studies. Thus, Morgan Stanley's Institute for Sustainable Investing surveyed 1,000 active individual investors. As its results have shown, 75% of those surveyed believe that "their investments can influence climate change". Yelena Novikova strives to adapt ESG practices to Kazakhstani context. She advocates for policy tweaks that would incentivise integration of extra-financial risk by local stakeholders. For instance, financially material ESG risks are of particular importance, when it comes to Pension Funds.
"Some environmental risks can impact financial performance in very noticeable ways. If you remember BP oil spill a few years ago, the event in the Gulf of Mexico had significant stock price consequences. Certain Pension Funds got dragged down because of holding BP shares back then", - she explains.
Investors can influence society with their portfolios, while making profits at the same time. If Norway and its world's largest pension fund can stay away from risky "brown" investments and successfully adopt ESG integration strategies, there's no real reason why Kazakhstan can't follow the suit, - the expert claims.
A Young State in an Uncertain World
In mid-November, Kazakhstan hosted the third annual "Astana Club," a new in... →
"It makes sense for pension funds to both "work" for financial prosperity of its beneficiaries as well as to support the objective of their wellbeing. For example, Kazakhstan's own National Concept Policy for Transition to Green Economy reports that 6,000 of our citizens die prematurely every year due to poor environmental conditions. That means those people don't live long enough to ever become pensioners. All things considered, wouldn't it make perfect sense for the SAPF (Single Accumulative Pension Fund) to ensure it doesn't contribute to the environmental situation that claims 6,000 lives annually?", Yelena asks rhetorically.
Yelena admits that Sustainable Investing strategies are yet to become mainstream in Kazakhstan. Even large companies are far from being adept when it comes to integration of Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) into their corporate strategies. Their non-financial reporting tends to be superficial and patchy.
"I spend my days trying to explain to various stakeholders, why what I do and what I advocate for is important for Kazakhstan. It can feel like hitting the ground at times. Then, G20 gives me this opportunity of a lifetime… I've met Chancellor Merkel. I've learnt "how to change the world" from the likes of Nobel Laureate George Akerlof. I've interviewed Arundhati Bhattacharya (one of the world's most powerful women according to Forbes) for a special G20 podcast project. There's nothing that can make me feel more empowered to be making impact now", - she tells Forbes.kz.
We are seeing the first, early steps towards proliferation of ESG practices in Kazakhstan, as the expert says. For instance, the term "ESG" is being mentioned within the documentation on the "Green Financial System for Kazakhstan", that was produced by foreign experts and commissioned through the EBRD. Another prominent development is the release of voluntary methodology for ESG Reporting by Kazakhstan Stock Exchange (KASE).

Vertical Types: Experimentation on vertical typography by Yuexin Huo
Vertical signage possibility & culture
With a Chinese background, I was and still is intrigued by the comparisons between Chinese and Latin typography systems. Rooted in very different histories, they obviously bare more differences than similarities, especially for the directions of writing. Chinese letters wrote from top to bottom, right to left for a long time until the change to match that of Latin very recently. Latin letters, on the other hand, were never evolved nor designed to write vertically. As a result, when I entered the Latin world years ago, I was shocked by the difference in visual cultures of signages on the street: there were very little vertical billboards due to the limitations of Latin typography system.
I started to explore the possibility of bringing the merits of two different language systems together and see if it's possible to allow Latin languages to write vertically just like the Chinese system.
Hotel Type: A take on vertical typography
Hotel is the first take on this idea and it came after numerous researches and experimentations. I looked into the reasons why conventional vertical typography don't work and found many issues that really limit the use of vertical typography.
A Vertical System
The very first issue is the lack of consistent dimensional structures among all glyphs to be set vertically. For the glyphs in conventional types, they usually have different optical and mechanical widths which prevent them from aligning up vertically with each other. While capital letters may inherently be less of an issue, lower-case letters can't really work especially for letters like f, t, d, where their "center of visual gravity" does not sit as their mechanical center. This could cause vertical letters to feel like they are jiggling left and right.
To solve this problem, I have created a vertical type system. It follows the conventional system but re-established in a vertical way. The system features a vertical baseline, "x-height" line, an "ascender" line, a "descender" line, and a cap line. (I call them "baseline", "x-width line", "right line", and "left line" respectively due to their new positions against glyphs.) An "x" glyph would have its left side sitting on the baseline and its right side setting on the x-width line. The conventional letters with ascenders and descenders would have their serifs on the ascenders & descenders sitting on the right line and left line respectively. Capital letters would set on baseline and cap line as usual. Of course, over-shoots on each line would be addressed as usual but would be on left and right side.
With this system, all the glyphs would be optically as wide to achieve a visual consistency that conventional glyphs lack, and as a result, their heights can be easily adjusted accordingly. Note that glyphs don't have to be optically as high, just like conventional glyphs don't have to optically as wide.
Care for the Rhythm
Another big problem of setting vertical type using conventional typefaces is that they often lack a visual rhythm across the paragraph. The issue is more pronounced in typefaces with higher contrasts as the position of stems in letters can't really align with each other on their optical centers. An easy way to fix that is to reverse the contrast of letters so the thicker stem part goes square to the direction of writing. (i.e. horizontal strokes are thicker when the letters write vertically) This is also the case with conventional typefaces where their vertical stems are often thicker when they right horizontally. With the reversed contrast, such vertical type can share the similar visual rhythm with conventional typefaces in terms of relative directions and variations.
The result is this Hotel typeface with some capabilities to be set vertically. It surely has many short-comings: it's not as legible as conventional types and it might be hard to be designed as a workhorse font, but I hope it is a good start on making vertical types possible for Latin-based languages. I also hope it could be the first crack on the barriers of forms and functions among different language systems before we could really break the barriers of language itself.
Neon Type: Hiding information instead of showing them
The idea of Neon came from the process creating Hotel type as I feel it's actually easier to make typefaces illegible. Neon is a take on this direction and push it to the extreme: Neon tries to make texts as hard to read as possible to hide information instead of showing them to readers.
A Uniform Texture
The shapes of Neon's glyphs feel very much like an ultra-condensed sans-serif and it's deliberately designed in this way to feature a very uniform texture. Though uniformity of textures is very important in type design, especially for workhorses, it can hinder legibility if it's been pushed too much to the point where the characteristics of individual glyphs are lost.
To achieve this, Neon only uses two type of strokes to construct all its glyphs: horizontal strokes and vertical half-circles as "hairlines" that connect them. (Round circles are also used but they are only for some glyphs like "i", and "j".) The horizontal strokes are constructed to keep the same distance with each other with zero optical adjustments among glyphs. That is to say, certain glyphs would look much longer than others due to their special shapes. Such design would also surprise readers as normally people would assume different glyphs to be optically as wide/as high.
Besides the uniformity of textures, Neon has another level of confusion. It aims to construct glyphs as simple as possible to reduce their characteristics as much as possible. Neon features many letters that are basically rotations/mirrors of others. Besides the famous b, d, p, q, being identical to each other, letters like a, e, g, are also rotations/mirrors of each other which can surprise readers of their similarities. Other letters like h, t and C, D, B, E, are also mechanically identical.
Vertical Calligraphy: New possibility for Latin scripts?
The vertical system can also be applied to calligraphy. The vertical calligraphy system is quite similar to the vertical type system with the same idea of baseline, x-width line, ascender, descender, and cap line. It can be written by both calligraphic pens with broad nibs or brushes. Due to the reversed contrast, the calligraphy pen is held around 90 degrees to make sure the horizontal strokes are the widest. I have written a calligraphy piece for a Latin poetry O Fortuna, sighing the ever-changing and ruthless nature of fate itself.
The current calligraphy system provides a way to write Latin scripts in the vertical way, but it is not without flaws. The process of writing is not very natural compared to traditional calligraphy and it is harder to control the details of many letters, especially for bowls where one must predict the total length of the x-width by muscle memory. The current system is still at the point where the process of writing is largely determined by the final form itself. It should really be reversed as I believe it's more valuable when forms are determined by functions. It is like mimicking Neo-Grotesk Sans-serifs with calligraphic brushes.
That being said, I think it has much rooms for improvements. A good system, aka style, should at least be easy to write, easy to learn, and have its beauty coming from the very mechanical & pragmatic rules of writing instead of the opposite. The perfect vertical calligraphy system is yet to be designed, and I will make it happen.

The man who, for party, forsakes righteousness, goes down; and the armed battalions of God march over him.
Courage that grows from constitution very often forsakes a man when he has occasion for it, and when it is only a kind of instinct in the Soul breaks out on all occasions without judgment or discretion.

Any church which forsakes the regular and uniform for the periodical and spasmodic service of God, is doomed to decay; any church which relies for its spiritual strength and growth entirely upon seasons of "revival," will very soon have no genuine revivals to rely on.

This was really good and easy to make. I also added some broccoli and I used ham instead of sausage as that is what I had. We will definitely make this again.
Aug 29, 2017
I made a modified version of this last night for dinner and it was a warming, hearty, cheesy meal. I used a whole box of rigatoni & 2 cups of frozen broccoli chopped & thawed in the microwave. I upped the cheese sauce ingredients and used pepperjack mixed with muenster cheese..which gave it a little zip. Finally, I saut?ed kielbasa coins in the pan to crisp & render the fat. After blotting up most of the fat, I added all the ingredients to the hot pan one by one. I skipped the panko topping & served it right out of the pan. Yummy.

How to Market Real Estate Effectively
No matter the real estate investing strategy, at some point in time all investors are going to need marketing. Whether advertising a rental to potential tenants, attracting cash buyers with a wholesale deal or reaching targeted buyers on a fix and flip, effective marketing could impact the bottom line. When marketing real estate, there are many marketing landmines that investors could avoid with a little knowledge.
Where to Start When Marketing Real Estate
Having a solid real estate marketing plan is integral to the successful sale or rental of a property. So first things first, I would be remiss (and the OTA Real Estate marketing instructors would be disappointed) if I did not mention the seven P's of marketing:
- Real Estate Price: For a rental this includes rent, deposits and, fees; for wholesale or fix and flip this is the sale price.
- Type of Real Estate Product: The house, condo, commercial building, land, etc. that is being sold. This is where creating curb appeal, using the in color and picking the right fixtures to get the high end look come into play.
- Place – Real Estate Location: This is an easy one, except perhaps in the case of mobile homes or floating homes, and simply refers to where the property is located.
- Real Estate Process: This is a lot about the real estate investor themselves. If wholesaling a property, the investor needs to be a good salesperson; personable and knowledgeable to help ensure the transaction goes smoothly. If renting a property, the investor should focus on how they or their Property Manager will serve the tenant after move in.
- Physical Environment: The actual interaction your potential tenants or buyers have with your marketing. For example, where and how is the advertising being done and is that an effective strategy for the type of real estate being sold and the targeted audience?
- People – Real Estate Team: As is always emphasized in OTA Real Estate classes, having the right team in place is essential and this applies to the marketing of real estate as well.
- Property Promotion: Now we are getting somewhere: signs in the yard, internet listings on craigslist, social media, MLS and feeder sites, referrals, word of mouth, and direct marketing.
Real Estate Marketing Plan
Now let's take the real estate marketing concept into a workable plan that can be quantified, performed and adjusted. Just like a real estate business plan, a marketing plan should be adaptable to changing markets and trends. I always like to start off with what my potential exit is going to be, specifically looking at the demographics and understanding who is moving in (and out) of the neighborhood. If my demographics show the average age of the area is over 60, then I need to base my rehab decisions on what my customer wants. Likewise, if the 6 unit apartment complex is in an area popular with recent College graduates, I need to understand their needs and make sure I fulfill those, both in design and amenities of the units, but also in how I'm reaching them to let them know that I have the apartment they want.
Once I understand who my target is, I then need a strategy to reach them. Does my mass marketing via social media platform reach who I want? Is the For Rent sign in the yard attracting quality tenants? Do I need to hire a real estate professional? The answer to all these is Yes and No (and sometimes maybe). Once I identify how I want to reach customers, I need to track every contact and ask, how did you hear about this vacancy, listing, deal? Then I go back to my plan and see if I am spending my marketing time and money in the right places.
Pros and Cons of Real Estate Marketing Strategies
Sign in the Yard: Real estate signs are inexpensive, immediate, guarantees the prospect has a certain level of interest in the area and is accessible by anyone who drives by. However, a sign can be an indication that a house is vacant, reach is limited to those who see the sign, it provides very little information and can create laborious phone calls from under-qualified prospects. Overall, a sign is an important tool but should not be the only one in a real estate marketing toolbox. For a desirable rental on a busy street, a sign may be all that is needed, but in any other situation, other types of marketing will be required.
MLS and Syndicated sites: A Realtor will be needed to get real estate listings in the MLS (Multiple Listing Service). The data that is in the MLS then gets sent, or syndicated, to a large number of other sites that consumers can access directly. This gets very detailed and verified property information out to an incredibly large audience. The services of a Realtor come at a high price but often the exposure received in return is worth it.
Free Real Estate Marketing sites: Many of the feeder sites that the MLS data feeds into can be accessed by investors to get their properties advertised for free. The list of free real estate marketing sites gets larger every day: Zillow, Trulia, Redfin, Rent.com, rental.com, cozi, hotpads, apartment finder, apartments.com, etc. In addition, there are sites that do not have any MLS agreements, such as Craigslist and FSBO, that have similar functionality. The advantages here are low cost, wide reach, and a lot of information, pictures etc. can be included in the listing. The disadvantage is that there is no way to tell who (or what) is replying to the advertisement. For example, I stopped using Craigslist for my rentals a few years ago because for every one human I got in contact with, there were 10 computers sending me SPAM. However, there are many markets where people still use Craigslist to find housing so investors should do the research based on their audience and decide if marketing on these sites would be beneficial given the risk.
Social Media: Similar to the MLS feeder sites, new social media platforms pop up all the time trying to attract the new generation of housing buyers, investors and renters. I have found that real estate investors who already use a specific social media platform, find success using that same platform to enhance their real estate business. However, I have seen very little success in establishing a social media presence on a platform a new investor has never used before just for the purpose of marketing their real estate. The exception to this rule is real estate wholesaling, because investor networking is critical to success. In other words, investors who like to use Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Snapchat, etc. could be successful in using them to enhance their other real estate marketing strategies. An investor who wants to begin using social media should start off with a personal page and build up followers, then move into real estate once they are confident in their ability to manage their account and have ensured that the targeted demographic uses said platform.
Real Estate Marketing Landmines
Marketing real estate can be dangerous, plain and simple. Real estate professionals, are held to a very high standard so, anyone marketing real estate should know a few basic rules:
- Fair Housing: Although private investors are not held to as high a standard as Real estate Professionals, no one wants to spend the time and resources defending real estate advertising decisions. Investors are advised to try and avoid all pictures of people, references to any religion (including close to a church), or any other indication that would be perceived as stating that the investment would not be right for any particular class of person.
- Regulation Z: The Truth In Lending Act requires specific disclosures for any entity that regularly offers credit. This regulation is triggered for investors who offered consumer credit for dwellings more than 5 times in the preceding calendar year. Any investor whose exit strategies includes owner financing should research the requirements first and weigh the pros and cons of advertising specifics of the financing they are offering.
- Real Estate Lease Options: Investors interested in this strategy should consult a real estate attorney who practices in their area to understand the contracts, advertising (specifically Regulation Z above), and disclosures associated with leasing real estate.
- Local Real Estate Rules: City, county, state, and HOAs all can have unique rules on what type of real estate advertising is allowed and what is not. Most will focus on signs, specifically size, distance from unit, directional signs on public right of ways and the information on the sign. Most of the rules can be determined by seeing what other Realtors in the area are doing. For example, if all vacant units in a condo complex have signs within 5 feet of the condo door, it's a good bet that's a rule.
Advertising is an integral part of real estate investing. Having a real estate marketing plan, putting the plan in action, tracking effectiveness, and adjusting the plan are the keys; but it must all start out with understanding the rules and who the customer will be.

Why brands should care about mobile performance marketing
In the age of mobile and an omni-channel brand presence where shoppers seamlessly transition between online, mobile and in-store visits, there is another — and more measurable — approach to advertising that can be equally valuable for brands: performance marketing.
Mobile performance marketing allows marketers to achieve specific KPIs such as retention and lifetime value of a customer, by driving and measuring distinct types of actions. There's the obvious action: get audiences to download the brand app. Going one step further, tying mobile campaign performance to specific revenue-generating actions such as making a purchase, visiting a level or area within the app, redeeming a coupon, completing a form, or returning to the app within a given time span, are also possible.
If your company has identified specific in-app mobile behaviors that equate to higher ROI for the brand, there's a strong argument in favor of using performance marketing to achieve more of them.
Leadbolt founder and CEO, Dale Carr, provides a closer look at why brands should consider mobile performance marketing in this piece from Mobile Marketer:Read Full Article at Mobile Marketer

If you're looking for a way to restore your skin's health and youth while combating signs of aging, then you're in luck!
Using a retinol serum every night is proven to help revitalize your skin's tone and health over time.
Here's the truth:
Your skin is your body's largest organ and is composed of several layers.
Over time the older skin cells at the surface naturally shed off and are replaced by newer more youthful skin cells underneath.
Using a retinol serum is great because it helps to speed this process up while also increasing collagen production.
Collagen is the "stuff" your skin is composed of which helps to maintain its integrity.
Unfortunately, as we age our bodies tend to produce less collagen.
Using a retinol serum helps to reverse this trend.
Not only will collagen production receive a significant boost but so too will the rate of skin cell turnover!
This is especially good news for those of us looking for effective ways to fight off our most stubborn wrinkles.
As collagen production increases, you may notice your wrinkles start to "fill in" and disappear all together!
Here's the deal:
Age should never be a reason to stop looking and feeling your best.
By using retinol every night, you can wake up tomorrow feeling and looking even better than today!
One of the other most incredible benefits to using retinol is fighting off acne.
Acne comes about as a result of clogged pores.
Retinol helps to unclog pores by preventing dead skin cells from clogging them in the first place.
Over time:
You will notice your acne start to fade away.
Since retinol helps to boost the rate at which your skin constantly replaces itself, acne scars are another great reason to start using retinol.
The scars at the surface will slowly begin to fade away, over time, until you finally may stop noticing them all together!
Here are some more amazing benefits of using a retinol serum:

For families with older, curious children, a trip to the Galapagos Islands is a must-do. Traveling together there provides a fun and educationally immersive experience that is truly unique (dare we say, "evolved"). Due to the lack of predators on the islands, the birds and animals who live there are generally unafraid of people, affording everyone a chance to safely view and experience the wildlife up-close.
Located 1,000 kilometers from the Ecuadorian mainland, the Galapagos archipelago is made up of 13 major islands, populated by animals such as the Giant Tortoise, Marine Iguanas, Blue-Footed Boobies, Waved Albatross (and their hilarious mating dance), Frigate Birds, Penguins, Sea Turtles, and playful Sea Lions.
The islands are also a living geological museum, as many are uninhabited by humans and a range of newer and older islands allows for surreal landscapes and up-close viewing of nature taking shape. The islands were also the inspiration for Charles Darwin, and you can see the unique evolutionary path many of the creatures have taken in isolation through natural selection.
Plan to visit the Galapagos Islands via cruise tour on an expedition ship, since exploring the islands from the mainland is very limiting. The only boats allowed to tour from island to island are licensed Galapagos Boats, and children under seven are not allowed.
When deciding on the right ship, though, first consider its size. Small boats are more intimate and can more deftly explore within a small range, and larger vessels generally have more range and power to reach more remote islands. The larger cruise ships (80-100 passengers) have more comfortable facilities and cabin options for families, and exploration is generally more structured. Smaller boats (up to 20 passengers) are more flexible with scheduling of activities and tours, with tighter accommodations, and more impact felt during the ocean ride. All exploration of the islands is with a certified naturalist, experts in the local flora, fauna, and wildlife. It's important to research the quality of your guide first and their language skills.
The Galapagos Islands are a year-round destination, but the best season to visit the islands and the equator is usually between April and October, when the water temperature is warmest and there is very little rain. In the rainy season, you can more easily find deals and your choice of boats. Many people combine a trip to the Galapagos with a trip to Cusco and Machu Picchu in Peru.

On his second release, Texan Kevin Deal explores the worlds of hell raising and hell fire, of the wild side of life and the wings of a dove, and of the nightlife and Sunday morning coming down.
The characters Deal writes and sings about - he wrote 11 of the 12 tracks - are no strangers to "dim lit bars, wine and dance," and they know "honky tonks and churches they both can teach you right from wrong." Deal's songs are sometimes funny, sometimes sad or sometimes both, but they are always straightforward. His well-worn voice fits the songs perfectly, a man who sounds like he knows what he's singing about. Produced by Lloyd Maines, this never comes off "pretty." Not that there isn't beauty in the roughness, a quality that brings to mind another Texas singer-songwriter, Guy Clark.
The album ends with the spare and haunting "The Man I Used to Be," a tale of a former prisoner who has literally seen the light and blames no one but his old self, asking not to be forgiven, but just for help from God to get through it all. (Kevin Deal, E-Mail: email@example.com)

Nutrition is integral to the prevention and treatment of disease as well as for health promotion. However, gaps in knowledge remain and reflect the fact that relationships between food, nutrition, health, and disease are extremely complex. The first NIH-wide Strategic Plan for Nutrition Research emphasizes cross-cutting, innovative opportunities to advance nutrition research over the next decade. These opportunities complement and enhance ongoing research efforts across NIH to improve health and to prevent or combat diseases and conditions affected by nutrition, including obesity. The Strategic Plan for NIH Nutrition Research is composed of seven dovetailing themes. Because nutrition and obesity are integrally related, many of the research needs identified within each Theme have direct implications for obesity research. For example, the first theme outlines priorities for filling in missing molecular details within all processes involved in nutrition, along with the drivers and pathways involved in eating and drinking behaviors, and how various biological, environmental, psychological, and sociocultural factors modify them. Addressing these priorities could provide critical insights for obesity prevention and treatment. This presentation will highlight the priorities of the Strategic Plan, that if addressed, will accelerate discovery in both nutrition and obesity research, ultimately improving public health.

What can parents give their child that inspires independence, begets bravery, creates compassion, and generates endless opportunity?
According to First Lady Michelle Obama, the answer is: Travel!On her first official trip to China, during which she visited schools in three Chinese cities, Michelle Obama discussed the benefits of travel on a domestic and international scale, quoting the Chinese: "It is better to travel ten thousand miles than to read ten thousand books."
For many young people, going on a student tour is an important milestone. It is an opportunity to safely step out of one's comfort zone, learn about other cultures, express respect and "build bridges of understanding," in the recent words of the First Lady. It is important to the development of our young people, and to the development of our global community. And the First Lady is not the only one who thinks so.
According to an interview with CNN.com, Howard Wallack, an executive at a human resources trade group, emphasizes the importance of travelling as a student. When students travel, he says, they "learn to listen, be proactive, be patient, [and] assertive. All those are translatable skills."
Children and citizens who travel become ambassadors for their family, their school, their local community, and their country. And the educators and parents who make these opportunities possible give our children one of the most important gifts that we can give them – a chance to learn, grow, and challenge themselves.
Young people who go on a student tour are given the opportunity to learn. They must learn how to embrace new experiences, whether it's riding the subway for the first time or trying another culture's food. In navigating foreign streets, children learn how to adjust to unfamiliar surroundings and adapt to change. They practice the skills of observation and self-awareness, and are challenged in new and exciting ways. These are skills that our young people must acquire as they strive to become successful and responsible adults.
As part of the student travel world, we see the benefits of getting students out of their comfort zones and opening their eyes to new places and experiences. Each new journey can inspire a student to become a true citizen of the world and build a foundation for lasting success across cultures in the future.

Looking for power and wire harness for D2
lilpaisano posted a topic in GeneralAnyone have any idea where I can find a power and wire harness for the D2? Or is this model compatible with another unit. Thanks
Z130bt wont turn on. HELP!
nycibbyryder posted a topic in Problems/Troubleshootinghey guys, I have a Z130bt that I sold on amazon.com and the buyer is saying it wont power on. I had it in my car for a year and it worked fine, anything I can tell him to check that may be causing it not to power on or should I just tell him to return it and I'll accept the loss? He says he replaced the fuse in the back so far and his tech tried to give it direct power and nothing. He also said he got it to work once but the accessories won't turn on. Anything I can tell him to try? maybe common things or anything? ANY help is appreciated. I am NOT trying to screw this guy, so if a return is whats needed here he'll get it. I'm just trying to help him out and also avoid the loss on my end. Thanks.
No Power!
lexrosa posted a topic in Problems/TroubleshootingHey everyone.Today i FINALLY got a chance to upgrade my AVH to an Avic z140BH. At first i tried to simply hook it up to the same power cord that I used for the AVH because it was already connected and fit the avic perfectly. For some reason I got a visual of the screen and was able to play with the functions but wasn't getting sound. so then I went through all the wires on the harness one by one and connected them to the new power cord. I hooked up my amps through the audio output cables and I heard music! here's my problem. After i heard the music, i went ahead and hooked up the gps antenna, ipod cord, and mic. I did my best to make all the wires look neat and then I put the radio back in place and left the car. When I came back and started the car i had no audio and no visual! i keep messing with it. I've re-wired it over and over, and i still cant seem to get anywhere. I checked my fuses, and one popped but i replaced it and still got nothing. Anybody else have this type of issue? working on a 97 lexus es300
Power issue with AVH-P3200BT
IronFox posted a topic in Pioneer AVH SeriesI've had this head unit in my 07 G6 for almost 2 years and last winter would loose power when it got very cold (5F) or so, but would always turn on in demo mode when the car was started, just had to reset everything. This winter it did the same thing but would not come back on until the car was running for about 20 mins no matter how cold it was, and would enter demo mode. BUT here's the weird thing, it never lost power. Now its spring and it sill will not turn on, I got it to turn on one a week ago when I touched the screen, suddenly it popped on. I'm at a loss for what this haunted player is doing.
