Since today's Pesach reading is in Exodus and since we just read this part nine weeks ago, I won't talk about today's parashah specifically—I'll talk about the general theme of Pesach, that is, the theme of redemption. So we can ask the question, why were the Israelites redeemed from Egypt? The answer that seems most obvious is that "...the Israelites were groaning under their bondage. God heard their groaning and he remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac and with Jacob." (Ex 2:23–24; also see Ex 3:7, 9, 16) and God's plan was to redeem Israel from Egyptian servitude and lead them to eretz Yisrael (Ex 3:8, 17). But the Torah tells us more: according to the covenants God made with the patriarchs, God is to be Israel's redeemer from oppression. This is most clearly stated in Genesis 15:13–14, in the so-called "covenant between the pieces," where God reveals to Abraham that his descendants "will be strangers in a land not theirs," and after 400 years, they will be set free. Later, in Deuteronomy, the theology is expressed that reward only comes from adherence to the mitzvot—in Deuteronomy the connection between observing the mitzvot and conquering and remaining in the land of Israel is made absolutely explicit. But the Israelites in Egypt observed no mitzvot at all!
The tanna'im, the rabbis of the Mishnah, observed the problem the exodus poses of redemption without mitzvah observance and asked how Israel could have merited redemption from Egypt without having observed any mitzvot. Answering this question, like all such troubling questions, was obviously a job that only a midrash could handle. In the halakhic midrash on Exodus called the Mekhilta, the rabbis essayed an attempt at an answer. But before we look at their answer, we need to review the commands in Exodus that concern the first Passover.
First, the month: "This month shall mark for you the beginning of the months; it is for you the first of the months of the year." Then, the sacrificial lamb: "...on the tenth of this month they shall acquire for themselves a lamb for the family...." Then, the process: "You will watch (or guard) [the lamb] until the fourteenth day of this month and ... slaughter it at twilight." And the finale: "...take from the blood and place it on the two doorposts and the lintel of the house..." (Ex 12:2–3, 6–7).
These instructions give rise to many questions, not the least of which is the requirement for a four-day mishmerit—watching period between acquiring the animal and its sacrifice. So, implied the rabbis, here were mitzvot that had no apparent purpose other than providing an opportunity for the people to obey some commandments! In modern terms, this meant that God was giving the people a "bye"—an opportunity to observe some free mitzvot that would gain them the opportunity to be redeemed. But some rabbis didn't buy this idea, and the Mekhilta quotes the opposing view of R. Eliezer haKappara:
Did not Israel possess four mitzvot [while they were in Egypt]…: that they were sexually pure, that they did not gossip, that they did not change their names, and that they did not change their language?1
We can safely discount R. Eliezer's four-mitzvah theory. Where does the idea of sexual purity come from? Well, Leviticus 24:10 refers to a child of an Egyptian man and an Israelite woman which R. Eliezer assumes must have been the only case of improper behavior (because he believes that this case was cited in the Torah only because it was unique). What about gossiping? Here we need to look to another midrash, this one attributed to the third-century R. Alexandri, who claimed that the Israelites were shameless gossips. How did he deduce this? When Moses attempts to stop the arguing Israelites, they rebuke him, saying, "Do you intend to kill us as you killed the Egyptian?" (Ex 2:14). This led Moses to conclude that the Israelites were gossiping about him, and further, he concluded that God allowed Israel to remain enslaved precisely because of the sin of gossip.2
What about changing names? We only need to look to Joseph and note that he took an Egyptian name, Tzafenat Pa'ane'ah (Gen 41:45). Hey—even Moses himself kept his Egyptian name. How about language? Just read the modern midrash (cleverly disguised as a novel) by Rav Doug Moffat to learn that while in Egypt the Israelites had forgotten the "Old Language" (Betzalel ch 10 pg 75).3 Our midrash does consider the language question, but the reasoning is so contrived that, I assume, by striking the first three mitzvot from the theory as non-existent, it was considered to be enough to invalidate the whole theory. For the rabbis, those three strikes meant—you're OUT. (I think that this is where the baseball minhag comes from, but proof of this will need more research. Maybe I can find a midrash to help.)
But what about those four days of watching the lamb—how could observing this waiting period be considered to be a mitzvah? Our authority, the Mekhilta, responds:
Because the Israelites in Egypt were steeped in idolatry. And the law against idolatry outweighs all of the other mitzvot … Therefore Moses said to them, stop worshiping idols and adhere to the mitzvot!4
Huh? This is a classic case of midrashic misdirection. Just change the subject and hope the reader won't notice. Actually, one rabbi did make a case for the four days. He said that observing the four days would allow the Israelites the opportunity to perform the two mitzvot of circumcision and the paschal sacrifice in order to prove their merit.5 Well, at least that reason isn't just smoke and mirrors.
As you might guess, there's lots more in this vein; I won't attempt to strain your credulity any more on this topic so let's move to a related topic from this same midrash.
If the Israelites needed to observe just one mitzvah to be able to be redeemed, like watching a lamb for four days, and if some of them didn't keep even this simple one, then how were those unbelievers to be redeemed? Ah, this is another weighty problem that only a midrash can satisfactorily address, and the Mekhilta comes charging to the rescue. If we examine Exodus 13:18b, we see that it reads: "... the children of Israel went up from Egypt chamushim." Most translations render the last word as "armed," and that is its p'shat meaning. But the Mekhilta notes that the word actually means "five" (chamesh), and interprets the verse to mean that only one in five Israelites merited redemption from Egyptian servitude. So Moses led only a fifth of the Israelite population into the desert! Not only that; the one-in-five fraction is the largest number the midrash mentions. Hey—I'm not making this up! Let me read you the section:
Another opinion says "chamushim went up" means one in five. Some say one in fifty. Some say one in five hundred. Rav Nehorai says: "[I swear by] the Temple service! It was not one in five hundred that went out [but fewer]. It says, 'I made you into myriads like the grass of the field' [Ezek 15:7], and it says, 'The children of Israel were fruitful and swarmed and multiplied and became huge' [Ex 1:6]—a woman would give birth to six at one time. And you say that one in five hundred went out? [I swear by] the Temple service! It was not one in five hundred that went out [but fewer]. Rather, many Jews died in Egypt. When did they die? During the three days of darkness, as it says, 'People could not see each other' [Ex 10:23]. They were burying their dead, and they thanked and praised Adonai that their enemies could not see and rejoice at their downfall.6
According to this midrash, between 80% to 99.8%—or even a greater fraction—of the Israelites did not leave Egypt. What reasoning underlies this astonishing claim? Well, according to Shemot Rabbah (yet another midrash—see how this chain of authority builds?), "There were sinners among the Jews who had Egyptian patrons, and they had wealth and honor there, [so] they didn't want to leave."7
Later commentators, including Abraham ibn Ezra, explained that these numbers applied to the generations either before or after the exodus and referred to those Jews who failed to accept the mitzvot and therefore were never redeemed from their spiritual "slavery." But I like to play with numbers, and I calculate that, according to the Mekhilta, the Jewish population in Egypt before the exodus would have exceeded 126 million. Since the world population at the time of the exodus was only about 100 million,8 accepting the Mekhilta's population statistic would mean that every member of today's world population must have a Jewish ancestor. But obviously enough Jews were redeemed from Egypt to have allowed us to be here today to celebrate our redemption.

Hello everyone! How are you today? I know most of us prefer a simple and natural makeup which will define our eyes and face in a way that it`s not so strong. Most women don`t go out without putting some make-up on and this is why I decided to make this post and I hope that you will like it. So in this post I will describe how you can create a natural makeup look, in a very simple way because this kind of make up always look good on any type of skin and it`s perfect for every occasion.
Like I said, you can try this make up every day and the best part is that you can easily make it in five – ten minutes. All you have to do is to follow some simple steps for countouring your beautiful eyes:
First step is to apply an eyeshadow base like foundation or primer, than you can use a black, dark eyeliner or liquid liner which will make your eye seem bigger and clearly more attractive.
After you apply a liquid liner for an intensive look, you should apply on the corner of the eye a light brown eye shadow and on the other corner a brown eye shadow which will be blended with the other one for creating a beautiful shadow. For the eye brows try to use a brown eyebrow pencil and in the last part you should use your favourite mascara (to last all day , be sure that it`s a good one and it should be waterproof) .
For this makeup i used a Sephora pallet , a black liquid liner, and a Sephora mascara.
Do you like this simple and natural look? You use this kind of makeup?
I`m waiting for your opinions and I want to know which products do you use every day?
P.S. If you try this makeup please send me photos :*

Are they Hot or are they a flash in the pan? That's a question the Restaurant Brokers ask each year when Nation's Restaurant News looks at the "up-and-coming restaurants" to pick their five "Hot Concepts" award winners. According to the magazine, these five brands are "resounding with consumers and have strong growth potential."
Do the restaurant brokers agree? Well, we have to say this year's field is a far cry from the everyday sandwich shop. It ranges from a "hippie-chic" chain featuring healthy food to a gastropub concept. Here are their Hot Concepts. What do you think?
Flower Child is first on the list. This brand has grown to seven units in three years by combining a focus on healthy food with decor that feels like you're back in the 70's and headed to Woodstock. This is not some small hippie chick's brand however as powerhouse Fox Restaurant Concepts kicked this one off in 2014. That's not the only large player attached to chain. In November, The Cheesecake Factory Inc. made a minority equity investment in Flower Child and North Italia, another Fox Restaurant Concepts brand. The chain has three stores in Arizona, two in California, one in Dallas and one in Austin (with a second store in the works). What is the restaurant broker take? We are seeing this "healthy fare" space fill up quickly with players. We anticipate some fall out in the next 24 months as Americans say they want to eat healthy a lot more than they actually do.
Another concept noted as "Hot" is a fast-casual Korean concept called Bibibop Asian Grill. The idea is cashing in on the popularity of bowls — and Korean food, one of the hottest Asian cuisines currently. The name comes from the Korean dish bibimbap, a Korean dish of rice served in a bowl, topped with vegetables and often an egg and meat. The chain has more than 20 units and has expanded to Washington, D.C., Los Angeles, Chicago and Dayton, Ohio. The restaurant brokers opinion on this one is "Thumbs Up!" There's a void in market for fast casual Korean while most other Asian concepts are well represented. This has some space to grow.

When two people begin dating, they may not always have the same ending in mind. While one might be expecting a full-time partnership, the other might merely want a short-term one.
When situations like this occur, oftentimes, relationships end quickly and even bitterly. This is not a pretty a situation.
Enter Romance
Romance is one of the most powerful and most coveted forces when it comes to relationships. Whether you are male or female, it feels good to be in a romantic relationship.
With the excitement, allure, and burst of emotions that romance makes you feel, it's no wonder why romance is such an essential factor in dating and committed relationships.
The effect of romance on dating
No matter if you're a casual dater with more than one date a week or a committed partner in a serious relationship, romance is likely to play a big role in your relationship.
Romance is what sweeps women off their feet, and it's what makes gives men that air of gentlemanliness.
Keeping the romance alive in your relationship can be a very hard thing to do, but if you're able to do it, you may just have the time of your life. Just remember that romance is a powerful force, and it can easily sway emotions, actions, and thoughts.
Make sure you know what you're getting into before romantically committing yourself into it.
Some suggestions for spicing up the romance
-> Never underestimate the power of surprise. Little surprises go a long way if you're trying to spark some romance in your dating. Try surprising your partner with something as simple as a bouquet of flowers or a home-cooked meal.
-> Be patient and take time to think about the things you do for your partner. It's easy to look over small details when you're always rushing. Keep in mind that it's usually the fine details that spell the difference between romantic and apathetic.
-> The Internet is a great tool for finding romantic places to go and romantic things to do. Consider using the Internet to help you plan out your romantic dates.
Enter Sex
The key to solving the problem of sex in a romantic relationship is communication. When two people communicate honestly and openly, almost nothing can go wrong.
They will either realize that the relationship will not work (and spare you the heartache before it's too late or even worse - an unpleasant STD that forces you into a lifetime of Dating with Herpes), or realize that you are just the person that he or she wants to make an effort for. Relationships are not free.
Although it is wonderful to be loved by someone, it is your responsibility and duty to love the person in return. No one deserves to be cheated.
Ready for Sex? Take some time and give it some careful thought.
Once the communication between you and your partner is strong, you will notice that everything else will fall delicately into place. Physical intimacies, such as sex, for example, will not be forced or regretted. Sex is not a casual act, and while some may think of it as such, for others it is meaningful and even soulful.
Getting on the same page.
Always be sure that both you and your partner share the same, mutual definition of what it means to express your love through sex. The worst thing is a relationship that is lacking in communication and lost in translation.
Love is supposed to be about giving and sharing. If it doesn't feel right, then don't do it. But if it feels good and right, embrace it and its consequences. After all, life and love are said to be synonymous.

|I had to spread the mounting brackets open wider. They would not fit and could not raise into place. Looks like they were bent in.
|Looks good but was incredibly difficult to install. Even with my truck in a lift and the receiver being held up with a jack it still took 2 pry bars and about 3 hours to get it installed. Even then, all the bolts would not fit. And that was by a professional installer.
|The installation was difficult because it was a very close tolerance. Had to hold your mouth at the exact right position to get her in there.

Hi friends! I am here to share my most recent layout for Hip Kit Club -- a Mixed Media Monday layout using the February 2018 kits! Here is my layout:
This is a fun layout about taking my daughter and her BFF to the MJ Live concert in Chicago. They had so much fun! It was a secret! In fact, when this photo was taken they still didn't know what was going on, OR why we thought they should wear their MJ gear. :-) Here are a few close ups:
I used the Dina Wakley acrylic paint to add some color to my background. Also, I did some stitching and added embellishments from this month's kits.
I made a video of my process, if that suits your fancy!
Thanks for stopping by! See you again soon!

Tube preamp - RIAA corrector - headphone amplifier.
If you want to add tubes to your system to take advantage of their enhanced level of musicality the preamplifier is the place to start. Preamplifiers, more accurately called control amplifiers, come in two basic types. A passive preamp acts only to control the level of a source signal and pass it along, with no additional gain, to the power amplifier. An active preamp has a separate gain stage that allows it to amplify a signal that might otherwise have insufficient voltage to efficiently drive a power amplifier (or high sensitive speakers directly). This preamp uses tubes for voltage gain only, not for rectification or regulation.
Signal from input jacks X1-X6 follows to input selector S1 and discrete resistor volume control R1 with 24 2dB steps. The signal afterwards drive to the stage with tube 6Z43P (6Ж43П), (PDF) russian high frequency pentode in triode connection. You can also use tube 6Z11P (6Ж11П). Close resemblance of this tube is E280F (7722). Siemens tube D3A is applicable too (in this case R13 is 180 Ohms).
Preamplifier works with transformer output stage. Transformers UU type core is made of high-grade electrical sheet steel. Cores from transformers OCM-0.063 is applied. The sizes of section are 25x25 mm. Primary winding partitioned in three sections, every section consists 1000 winds of 0.18 mm diameter wire. The secondary winding is wound between sections of the primary winding as in diagram shown. Secondary winding consists two sections 1400 winds of 0.18 mm diameter wire and two sections 70 winds 0.56 mm diameter wire. All sections of winding connected in series. One final point of interest with a SE transformer is the air gap. This is necessary in order to bring the operating point of the core to the correct region on its B-H curve. Paper spacer 0.05 mm thickness is applied. The transformer is designed on 8 ohm high sensitive speakers (output SPK, 0.6W) and drives power amplifier (output X7) in a separate box. At input amplitude 1V (X1-X5) output amplitude is 45V (X7). It's possible drive output stage tube (EL500, EL509, 807, KT88, EL34 etc) directly.
Frequency band is displayed in charts. Topmost chart displays work of device with zero load, when transformers are on idle run. Lower chart displays work of device when its transformer are loaded with 36 kOhm resistors. You can see, that curve is a bit straighter, - these peaks were never too high though (never exceeded 2,5dB). Conditionally high "mountains" are displayed because of logarythmic scale of the chart.
Measurements were taken with these devices: oscillator ГЗ-102, osciloscope C1-49, tube voltmeter ВК7-9. Amplification of degree with a 6Ж43П tube is about 45. With a signal imput of 1V we get pretty, non-disorted sine curve of 45V on X7 output, which is enough to swing powerful enough tube, such as 6П36С (EL500) or 6П45С (EL509).
RIAA corrector uses two russian super miniature pencil tubes 6N16B (6Н16Б) (PDF) and one 6N1P (6Н1П). Pencil tubes were the last thermionic devices to be developed, together with nuvistors, and were built to rigid, military specifications. They're typically very small, and instead of being socketed they have flexible leads like passive components. Even in the breadboard stage without any shielding, the pencil tube preamp is VERY quiet. I used DC heating and the minus pole of the heater power supply is connected to the +50V (R26, R27). Standard signal level 1V adjusted by trim. potentiometer R9. Preamplifiers power supply can supply 300V at 100mA and under 2mV peak ripple under load. Two transformers for halogen lamps 12V is used with connection in series. Secondary windings (12V) connected in tandem. The power supply isn't dual-mono throughout, but it does have separate regulators for the two channels' filament 6.3V and +Ua voltages. Device is mounted into body of an used CD player. Tubes are mounted into case, and are layed on the side, none of them are sticking out, so you can place all audio devices on top of each other. The height is only 8cm. All input (X1-X6) and output (X7 and PP) sockets are placed on the back of device. The discrete sound regulator (R1), ON/OFF switch (S3), input switch and indicators are placed on the front panel of device. Even since device is developed for controlling high-power amplifier, it is possible to listen background music, - all you have to do is connect speakers of high sensitivity (around 93dB or more) to device's low-ohm output (SPK). Output power is about 0,6-0,7W. It is amazing, that tubes of so small size are capable of producing such a sound. For example, when listenning to CD music, signal is traveling a short path – just one tube and a transformer. Quality of a sound is very high.
Final layout of preamp plus power amplifier is displayed HERE. Cable connections are also displayed in the layout. When high-power amplifier is not powered-up and only the primary amplifier is turned on, speakers through relay K1 are connected to primary amplifier, so you can listen to sound at low-power, about 0.6 W. When high-power amplifier is powered-up, relay K1 switches speakers to the output of more powerful amplifier. This is basically universal device. There is DESCRIPTION and PHOTO of power amplifier.

Grant is already 1 month old! Where did the time go? I couldn't believe it was already time to start the "monthly pictures" process.
Things to note about Grant:
Being Swaddled (loves, loves, LOVES!)
Going outside
Putting on his PJs
Looking at Mommy and Daddy
Taking a bath (he's warming up to this now)
Being naked
Changing clothes/diaper
Getting the hiccups
The carseat
He's weighing in at almost 10 lbs based on my weighing with and without him on the scale at home.
Can we take a second to just appreciate how adorable sleep smiles are? They are so hard to catch on camera, but I managed to get this one! I can't wait for his social smiles to start, but I love seeing this little smirk when he's sleeping.
Now here is my rundown of what I've learned in the first month and my advice to new/expectant parents.
1. Buy gas drops and Gripe Water before you go into labor to have ready when you come home. I wish I had it at the hospital! Grant had major gas pain at the hospital and when we came home. I didn't find out about these two products until we were a week in. They will save your life! Trust me on this. I just bought 3 bottles so I could have one in the diaper bag, one in the nursery, and a spare.
2. SWADDLE! I cannot stress this one enough. It calms him down and will double his sleep time. Grant is a wiggle worm and always has his arms flapping around. The swaddle keeps him from waking himself up.
3. Wear your baby! Grant loves it! I thought it looked ridiculous, but it makes him happy and it leaves my hands free.
4. Schedule and Track! I downloaded an app that helps you track feedings, diapers, naps, etc. I'm so tired that I can't remember when I fed him last and it helps me know when he is crying out of hunger.
5. Get ready to do laundry. I do laundry at least once a day. It's smaller loads, but you can't make it through a day with clean clothes (mom or baby).
6. If your baby won't stop crying, walk outside. This has calmed Grant down every time.
7. Breastfeeding is hard. I BF for about 3 weeks before I broke down and started pumping and using bottles. I could never get Grant to get a deep latch and I was in so much pain that it hurt to carry him against my chest. Don't feel bad if you have to bottle feed. It actually speeds up feed times and gives you more time to play with the baby or it's quicker to put them back to sleep at night.
8. Try to keep the baby on a schedule. I read Baby Wise and used it as a basis to plan our day. The book says to feed every 3 hours, but Grant eats every 2 so I just modified it to fit our needs. I feed Grant (15 mins), have a little bit of awake time to talk and "play" (about 30 minutes), and then put him down to sleep (his naps range from 45 mins-1.5 hrs). This repeats all day except at night (after 8pm) there is no awake time and he goes right back to bed after eating.
9. Another tip I found online is to skip diaper changes at night. This has drastically improved my sleep situation. Grant hates having his diaper changed and would completely wake up and scream during this process. By skipping it at night, he stays drowsy and falls right back to sleep (most of the time anyway!) I always change his diaper first thing in the morning though, even before feeding him.
10. Enjoy your baby! The time goes by so fast. It seems like I just had him yesterday, but he's already a month old. Cherish all the snuggles and sleep with him on your chest. Don't worry about spoiling your baby, just give him lots of love and affection and soak in every second.

And again I wanna show you something and someone special ;) under the cut
The idea to make a shoot was spontaneous. As Kiev has a tough spring and the wind is blowing like crazy I wanted to create some "windy" pictures, where the hair of model would be flowing and covering her face, something like this. I posted the idea on-line and in few minutes already got the volunteer! I've never met this girl before, didn't know the way she looks on camera but was sure that the wind will help us to work things out.
Woke up early in the morning - and of course there was no wind this day :) so my beloved assistant had to wave the reflector during all the shoot to create some wind. I have to say - the model was stunning! Young, beautiful, funny temper, easy. And she had absolutely amazing lion's mane oh hair.
See what i mean? She (Nastya is her name) is just great! Sensual, tender, so fragile and gorgeous. At least this is how I see her from my side.
To tell the truth - i love when my models look at the result and understand how beautiful they are, feel a little bit more confident and happy, that makes me feel happy and confident too.
P.S. Thank you Kate Kaverzina for loving your job and enhancing beauty of models' faces.
And my beloved black and white for desert:

I have a friend who plays the harp for hospice patients. One of the facilities on her circuit is an Alzheimer's unit. She brings her harp to the bedside where these lost souls lie confused, physically depleted, dying of cancer or heart disease. Their race is run but they often cannot grasp what is happening to them and often no longer recognize their families.
This afternoon she entered a room where Barbara lay in bed with the TV blaring at full volume. Some well-meaning caregiver or visitor probably thought it would distract her. She lay there with her mouth open–tense, moaning with every breath. Extreme suffering was etched on her features and she gripped the sideboards until her knuckles were white. She wasn't able to talk. The TV blithely announced: "Warning: The following program contains scenes of surgeons performing operations that may be upsetting to some of our viewers." My friend immediately flicked it off and began playing a quiet melody. Within the first measure, Barbara had released her grip on the sideboards. By the end of the first song, she had stopped moaning. After half an hour Barbara had relaxed into a steady, calm breathing. Her face was peaceful, her mind at ease.
The Sacrament of Death is a time when caregivers and the dying come together in a spiritual union that can transcend the everyday world we normally inhabit. It's a person-to-person connection. Music can be transcendent too: the Sacrament of the Arts, a balm to soothe the soul in time of trouble. TVs are intruders, or worse, tormenters.
The second example has been in the news all week : seven men and women dead in their own church, victims of someone they didn't know, someone filled with hate, someone who was fed a steady diet of rage and ignorance with the help of that technological wonder and curse, the internet.
This is the Dark Side of death, what happens when we fail to teach our children that all life is precious, and death a sacred moment, a spiritual opportunity. Failing to acknowledge the sanctity of death leaves the door open to its worship, to the kinds of death cults that are destroying lives all around the world and have caused this tragedy in Charleston. This is a profound sacrilege. Call it a sacrilege against God if you like, or against humanity: it's the same in the end.

Time to Go Global: International Real Estate in Florida
The Property Market in Florida can be challenging.
Florida is one of the biggest home markets for International Real Estate. It is impossible to generalize about prices of Florida homes for sale as there are too many factors that determine the value of a particular property. In general, real estate purchase activity in the northern section of Florida tends to be lower than in the south. The south has more popular tourist destinations due to more comfortable climate during the short winter months.
Five States account for 50% of Foreign Buyer Purchases in the US
Slightly over half of all foreign buyers purchased property in FL (22 %), CA (15 %), TX (10 %), AZ and NY ( 4 % each). Latin Americans, Europeans and Canadians – who tend to buy in warm climates for vacation purposes – mostly purchased homes in Florida and Arizona. California and New York attracted the most Asian buyers. Texas saw sales activity from Latin American, Caribbean and Asian buyers.
Where do Foreign Home Buyers Buy Property in the Sunshine State?
The Atlantic Coast is pricier compared to the Gulf Coast. Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and Palm Beach are the elephants in the room, they are driving the property prices up in that area. So, can one say that the Gulf Coast is in general cheaper?
There are certain spots like, Naples, Bonita, St. Petersburg and the barrier islands, where the prices are going through the roof straight into the stratosphere as well.
Central Florida is not too expensive, but it is also a vast area far away from the beautiful beaches. For home buyers who love the warm water, Central Florida is not an option. Ocala is the place where the horses roam, but not everybody wants to become a cowboy. Orlando is home to Micky Mouse and his ilks, therefore, for young families with kids that is a plus.
But properties in both areas can be on the pricey side, too. Especially Orlando became a Hot Spot within the last years. The city is easy to reach from all over the world, and who doesn't like easy access? In case you want to convince other people to rent your home while you are gone, that is an easy task with all the tourist attractions around.
Because there are convenient flights from London and Canada, home buyers with Canadian or British passport are representing the majority in Orlando now.
Browse Neighborhoods and Island Communities
More Local Variations
There is a lot of variation at the local level as well. In certain areas, the property values are far spread.
One hundred thousand dollar homes are next to two million dollar homes basically are in the same location. In the higher-end end market, there are spots where 2 million dollar homes are sitting next to 10 million dollar homes.
Both locations are problematic because you want to have the home values a little more uniform. But what can you do when all of a sudden the location becomes a prime location and time is needed to replace the older and cheaper homes with new and more expensive ones? The location is always the prime consideration. Often it takes time to fade out the properties that do not fit the market.
The type of property is also critical for certain areas. Single family homes in gated communities are a very attractive option. They offer privacy and security paired with a wealth of communal facilities. Condominiums are common in urbanized areas. When land is scarce or expensive, it makes sense to build into the "cheaper" sky.
Waterfront properties are always very attractive and rewarding when you want to sell the property later. Gulf view is a prime location and nothing beats that. Canal or river view with boat dock comes next, and lake or pond view are still preferable.
While security and social options offered by gated communities will appeal to some, there are also plenty of choices for the home buyer, who does want to live outside of a gate. However, if you can use the home only part time as a vacation home the security aspect while being absent may play a significant role.
Rental Income - who doesn't love rental income
If you want to lease the home while you are abroad, you need to factor in some other thoughts. Proximity to a golf course, the beach, or to "tourist traps" - tourist attractions might be a better word - will always be a major factor. You will not be able to get a decent rent if the property is not located in a touristic area.
You Don't have too much buying power?
Those who are on a tighter budget might look at other options. However, there are not too many reasonable ones left. Stay away from mobile or manufactured homes. They rarely keep the value, and in the case of a hurricane these cheaply built dwellings tend to fall apart.
You might be better off buying a low-end condo instead. Of course, you are right, those modern manufactured homes look great on the prospectus, but the reality can sometimes be harsh in the Sunshine State. What looks great in a magazine must not necessarily look great after a hurricane.
Where are the Hot Spots?
Miami/Miami Beach: Miami is a world class city with a lot of high-end properties. The city is also the gate to South America, and the Latin influx is predominant. The International Airport is a huge plus and drives a lot of people from all over the world to this magnificent city.
Naples: Naples and Bonita are also a hot spot on Florida's Gulf Coast. This location clearly profits from the proximity to Fort Myers International Airport. High-end properties are dominating the market and many wannabe homeowners are priced out. $200k - $300k gets you nowhere.
Sarasota/Bradenton: Florida's cultural capital on Florida's Sun Coast. The Sarasota/Bradenton area combines beautiful beaches with a wealth of cultural activities. However, Sarasota's International Airport never took off like expected. Unfortunately, there are not too many Airways offering direct flights to Sarasota. Tampa International would probably be the best bet. But Fort Meyers is also only 90 minutes away.
Orlando: Easy to reach. Combines family fun (Disney) with world class golfing and reliable rental returns. Orlando is the world's single largest tourist destination and easy to reach. Many airlines are offering direct flights to Orlando. However, the beaches are far. If you are are beach boy/girl you might not be too happy in Orlando.

Alicia Vikander Biography
Who Is Alicia Vikander?
Alicia Vikander was born in 1988 in Gothenburg, Sweden, and began acting when injuries forced her to reconsider a career in dance. She gained notice in 2005 when first appearing as a series regular on Swedish TV, and her star rose higher in 2007 with a role on the popular show Second Avenue. Her jump to the big screen came in 2009, and since then she has appeared in several high-profile projects, including Anna Karenina, Ex Machina, The Man From U.N.C.L.E. and The Danish Girl, earning a supporting actress Oscar for the latter. In 2018, Vikander took on the role of Lara Croft for the latest big screen adaptation of Tomb Raider.
Alicia Vikander was born on October 3, 1988, in Gothenburg, Sweden. Her mother was an actress, but Vikander didn't start out in her mother's footsteps, dancing as a youngster and spending nine years studying at the Royal Swedish Ballet School. While there, she appeared in numerous musicals at the Gothenburg Opera before injuries forced her to change her path.
That path led her to acting, and she began her career in 2002 while still a student. That role, in a TV movie, led to a quick appearance in a TV miniseries and then a dramatic series called En decemberdröm (2005), in which she appeared in 13 episodes.
Early Film and TV Work
Vikander's big break would come two years later, when she landed a recurring role on the TV series Andra Avenyn (Second Avenue), one of Sweden's most popular dramas. She appeared in nearly 40 episodes over the course of the 2007-08 seasons, becoming a household name in her home country. With that success under her belt, Vikander made the leap to the big screen in 2009 with the lead role in the thriller Pure. For her work, Vikander won the Rising Star Award at the Stockholm Film Festival, the Shooting Star Award at the Berlin Film Festival and the Guldbagge Award for best actress, a huge honor in Swedish film.
Vikander soon appeared in her first English-language film, the 2012 adaptation of Leo Tolstoy's Anna Karenina. In this film she found herself alongside Hollywood figures Keira Knightley and Jude Law, and she held her own, receiving a BAFTA nomination for her role. She was also dubbed one of the 2012 Hamptons International Film Festival 10 Actors to Watch, and it soon became clear that Hollywood was indeed watching.
With buzz building, Vikander had her choice of roles, and she moved effortlessly between Swedish and English films. In 2013 she starred in The Fifth Estate and also in the Swedish Hotell. For her role in the 2014 film Testament of Youth, Vikander was nominated for a BIFA Award for Best Performance by an Actress in a British Independent Film and a National Film Award for best actress.
Hollywood Acclaim and Oscar Win for 'The Danish Girl'
While not a blockbuster, the high-profile 2015 film Ex Machina, in which Vikander plays an embodied artificial intelligence, gained the young actress widespread notice. What followed were more attention-grabbing roles in The Man From U.N.C.L.E., The Danish Girl and Burnt, all in 2015.
Vikander earned Golden Globe nominations for both The Danish Girl and Ex Machina, and in February 2016 she received the first Oscar win of her career for The Danish Girl (supporting actress). In that film, Vikander portrays the emotionally conflicted artist wife of Lili Elbe, a transgender woman played by Eddie Redmayne.
In 2016, she joined the latest installment of the popular Jason Bourne series, starring Matt Damon, and followed with Light Between Oceans, alongside Michael Fassbender. The following year brought prominent screen time in dramas like Tulip Fever and Euphoria, as well as the romantic thriller Submergence.
In March 2018, Vikander starred in another adaptation of the video game franchise Tomb Raider, as heroine Lara Croft. The action flick drew mixed reviews, though critics generally praised Vikander's performance.

text: The braid hairstyle is a flattering, sexy style for women with medium to long hair and if this is you, it could be the look for 2007. Braids are great in the summer weather, just start with a pony tail and braid your hair. You can choose from French braids, plain braids or corn rows. Braids are so versatile, they can be interwoven with pretty ribbons, or pinned in place with classy clip. The French braid is great for controlling unruly locks on a bad hair day. Braids will never go out of fashion. Why? This is because braids give girls multiple options to fashion their hair. Plus, you don't need the help of an expert or a hair stylist to make up different styles with braids. Braids are comfortable, classy and if you know how to wear them in different ways, they are trendy as well. Traditional African braids are now part of the mainstream hairstyles done today. There was a time not so long ago when wearing braids was frowned upon by some, but thankfully, times have changed for the better.

Tehran and Rome signed a five billion Euro credit agreement in early January which will see the European government invest in Iran, despite the Iranian regime's ongoing repression of domestic demonstrations due to the continuing economic crisis and mounting regional tensions over the regime's involvement in multiple regional wars.
In this news report announcing the deal, which was broadcast on Iranian state TV on January 11, the news anchor states, "The largest-ever framework credit agreement, worth five billion Euros has been signed between Iran and Italy. Mohammad Khazaee, the Deputy Minister of Economy and head of the Investment Organization of Iran, signed the agreement with Italy's finance minister in Rome. According to this agreement, the country's [Iran's] manufacturing and construction projects can use Italian technologies and machinery, as well as engineering and technical services. Italy is the seventh country to ink investment deals with Iran after India, China, South Korea, Demark, Austria, and Russia. The agreement is regarded in Iran as another step towards diversification of financial resources for Iranian projects".
Khazaee said, "This credit line agreement is the biggest line of credit agreed upon with a European state. Of course, Iran has already signed other agreements with several other countries, but this is the largest one in size that's ever been signed." He noted, "the agreement has two hallmarks: firstly, it's indicative of Europe's serious resolve for cooperation in various economic fields and contributing to the promotion of bilateral economic relations. Secondly, Iran's Islamic Republic is seeking to diversify economic ties with the world and to enter various markets. As we attach significance to Asian states, we also pay attention to European states and other countries.

Got a Question? Call Us NOW!
Mon-Thu 9am-5pm, Fri 9-12 PST
As an event designer, I keep an arsenal of design tools in my professional collection. Custom neon signs and sculptures continue to set me apart from the competition. Weddings, baby showers, engagement and bachelorette parties take on that "WOW" factor immediately.
Andrea S. (Coral Springs, Florida)
We run a family owned & operated coffee shop. Neon signage in our front windows has helped us to attract attention with potential customers in their cars. "Open" and "Hot Coffee" signs let them know that we are open earlier than the big chains.
R. Erickson (Bangor, Maine)
I am a party planner whose proudest moment involved a Sweet Sixteen. Working with a beach theme, I ordered neon dolphin and whale sculptures. Her name was designed as if it was written with blue waves. That sign was later given to the birthday girl as a gift. This one party made a name for me professionally.

The project
This project works with several kindergartens schools in the Kuching area and allows you to encourage small children to learn and to grow by teaching them not only language and communication skills but also influencing them with new ideas which can help them flourish in the future. You will get a chance to work in local kindergartens in a fun and informal atmosphere! Focus will be more on playful interaction rather than formal teaching as the kids are aged 4 to 5 years old.
You will have an unforgettable and life-changing experience and you will make a valuable contribution to the local community.
The location
Malaysia is a beautiful country filled with contrasts - culturally and geographically diverse, with dynamic cities and peaceful beaches, authentic small villages and pristine rainforests. Essentially split between the mainland peninsula and the island of Borneo, Malaysia is incredibly ethnically and spiritually diverse with a combination of Malays, Chinese and Indians and indigenous groups practising many religions from Buddhism, Islam and Christianity to Hinduism and Taoism.
Monday to Friday you will be teaching at the schools for 3 to 6 hours. You should expect to leave your accommodation between 8 and 9 in the morning and leave the school around 3 or 4 in the afternoon. A tasty lunch will be served at the school.
During school and public holidays you have the opportunity to take part in renovation work or special classes and English language camps organised by the local community.
During teaching hours, you can wear casual clothes however you should still respect local customs and not wear anything revealing.
***The schedule can be changed and/or amended depending on weather conditions, local conditions and unforeseen circumstances.***
Project is on-going, and you can join at any time, depending upon availability. Placements start each Monday.
You will be staying in a standard semi-detached typical home located in a residential area called Kali Garden in Kuching. The lockable rooms are shared between 4 to 8 people on a single-gender basis and are furnished with fans and shared bathrooms. Wifi is available in public areas.
Private rooms are available for an additional £100(please ask for $ equivalent) per week.
There is a small park behind the house where you can jog and exercise along with the residents. There is also a Malay village and a fishing village nearby. Within a 2 kilometer radius of the house you can find a supermarket, a gym, swimming pool, salon, laundromat, cinema, money exchange, ATM, sim card shop and photocopy shops.

NEWHALL — By a vote of 23-5, Crescenta Valley High's bid to leave the Pacific League and join the Rio Hondo League was denied at Friday morning's CIF Southern Section Foothill Releaguing Chair Committee meeting at Hart High.
On a day in which four separate proposals affecting the Pacific League were considered and a few more including the Rio Hondo League were voted upon, weeks of speculation gave way to the status quo as none of the 14 schools that comprise either league were directly impacted.
Crescenta Valley will more than likely remain in the Pacific League along with Arcadia, Burbank, Burroughs, Glendale, Hoover, Muir and Pasadena, while the Rio Hondo League will continue to include Blair, La Cañada, Monrovia, San Marino, South Pasadena and Temple City.
Yet, despite all the activity, there wasn't as much surprise as may have been speculated.
"We've been in discussion with [the Pacific League] and the Rio Hondo League," Crescenta Valley athletic director Dave Mendoza said. "So, the results of today we knew forthcoming."

The fact that sparse vectors can be recovered from a small number of linear measurements has important and exciting implications for engineering and statistics. However, despite the vast amount of recent work in the field of compressed sensing, a sharp characterization between what can and cannot be recovered in the presence of noise remains an open problem in general. In this talk, we provide such a characterization for the task of sparsity pattern estimation (also known as support recovery). Using tools from information theory, we find a sharp separation into two problem regimes -- one in which the problem is fundamentally noise-limited, and a more interesting one in which the problem is limited by the behavior of the sparse components themselves. This analysis allows us to identify settings where existing computationally efficient algorithms, such as the LASSO, are optimal as well as other settings where these algorithms are highly suboptimal. Furthermore, we show how additional structure can make a key difference, analogous to the role of diversity in wireless communications.
On the engineering side, our analysis answers key engineering questions related to compressed sensing: Is it better to increase SNR or take more measurements? Is a given algorithm good enough? What accuracy can be attained? On the mathematical side, our results validate certain phase transitions predicted by the powerful, but heuristic, replica method from statistical physics.
