SEO for an average person is a closed branch of marketing. It is closed mainly because of the understanding - there's no clear understanding how it works and what is necessary for SEO to be really efficient. This is primarily due to the fact that information about the search systems' algorithms is a taboo. We, marketers, can only guess about how search systems work by analyzing the reaction of search engines on our actions (SEO manipulations) in relation to particular websites. Such empiric method of cognition the work of search engines created a lot of sustained myths about SEO that are, in fact, false. In this article, I will describe 15 most prevalent myths about modern SEO with a short disproof for each. So here they are.
1. Backlinks are vital for SEO
Only one of the possible tools. No doubt, backlinks are necessary, but in-page optimization, work with content, usability, and social networks are not less important factors.
2. Backlinks are of no use anymore
The value of backlinks is still important for the successful promotion. But now Google pays more attention to the high-quality backlinks and low-quality links became less meaningful than they used to be. Moreover, if link profile of the website has many low-quality backlinks, it can easily fall under the Google Penguin sanctions.
3. If you are not engaged in purchasing links, you're safe from Google Penguin
There's absolutely no guarantee that your site will not be affected by Google filters. The fact that you're not posting artificial links does not guarantee that your site will have a high-quality link profile.
4. The amount of content on the page is not important - the quality of the content is far more important
The quality of the content is indisputably important but also is the amount. The more unique and good-quality content is on the page, the more plausible will the page be for Google. Nevertheless, it is necessary to point that a huge amount of content, especially graphic and video material, can significantly overwhelm the size of the page that will influence its download speed.
5. The speed of downloading the page depends only on hosting provider.
It is known that Google lowers in the list of search results the websites that have a low download speed. Unskillfully designed and poorly optimized website can be the main reasons for a slow download. Before you change the hosting - make sure that your website is free from such problems
6. Nofollow links influence SERP to the same extent as Dofollow
At this time, Nofollow links are not indexed by Google and not included in search results, unlike Dofollow links. Numerous experiments have shown that the Nofollow links do not have a direct influence on the increase of sites in the SERP.
7. Nofollow links are useless for SEO
Nofollow links are a constant attribute of a natural link profile of any trusted website. Its absence is the first signal for Google that this website may be placing artificial and false links.
8. The idea of modern SEO narrows to creating high-quality content
Even the most exciting and excellent-quality content will be useless if your website is attended by no one. Availability of decent content is an obligatory condition for a successful SEO, but not the only.
9. Reaching the TOP positions in search engines is the main goal for SEO!
To reach is not enough - it is necessary to hold the achieved positions. What is the point to promote a website into TOP 5 in competitive requests and afterward, for instance in few weeks, to fall down in several pages in SERP? Experienced SEO managers know how to hold the reached positions for a long time.
10. It is possible to determine the terms for website's promotion.
Modern SEO is a rather difficult to forecast process for evaluation the precise terms of its promotion. Some SEO companies use this trick to attract clients, but it is simply a deceit. There're no terms or any guarantees that website will actually reach the positions that the marketers count on.
11. It is possible to guarantee the promotion to the TOP positions in search results.
Not even a single SEO specialist can guarantee the TOP position in search results, simply because it is not their property and, therefore, there's no direct influence on the websites management.
12. Google always detects any manipulations on SEO websites.
Actually, it is not so. Google and other search engines definitely track the attempts of marketers to influence the websites ratings, but in reality, they notice only the roughest signs of manipulations. If SEO is conducted by professionals - the likelihood that Google or any other search engine will notice their work with the website is reduced to a minimum.
13. Page Rank is an important index for SEO
Earlier - yes. Nowadays PR is no longer a parameter that changes website ranking in the search results. Besides this, there're no Page Rank updates anymore and they are not expected in the future.
14. TOP is possible only by in-page optimization
Possible. But under the condition that these will be low-frequency searches that are rarely entered by users of search engines. In all other cases, the presence of a good link profile is a prerequisite for sites that usually occupy the top positions in the search results.
15. SEO is dead or just about to die
This myth is popular for several recent years when Google implemented its Penguin. While some people think so, many SEO marketers successfully promote projects in the search engines and earn decent money for themselves and for their clients. Who, by the way, also do not know that "SEO is already dead". SEO has simply become somewhat different - more subtle and not as patterned as before. Many webmasters, including practicing SEO marketers no matter how strange it might sound, were not ready for this - that's why the myth consequently emerged.

The Economist loves snarking millenials
Hey millennials: Why aren't you buying diamonds?
The Economist knows exactly why you aren't, because of "the taint of conflict and exploitation." But when you bait us, we are going to tell you it's because "we're burdened with crippling student loan debt and can't actually find a good paying job." That is, neoliberalism and late capitalism have failed us. HuffPo knows it.
We are not going to save the world by buying more shit. Especially expecting millenials to buy diamonds. We aren't even going to save capitalism, not that we should want to. We cannot keep buying shit, the earth can't handle it. George Monbiot knows it. Climate Change is real and frightening and we keep on buying stuff. Of the materials flowing through the consumer economy, only 1% remain in use six months after sale - good that have planned obsolescence (breaking quickly) or perceived obsolesence (becoming unfashionable). A bunch of chrissy gifts cannot become obsolescent, though, because the term implies a loss of utility, and they had no utility in the first place
My ex loves the joke gift. Her and one of her best mates have a Christmas tradition of buying each other hilarious crap. She bought me some hilarious junk for my birthday. But how do you go about saying "no thanks" without being a buzzkill? I ended up in a one-euro shop in Dublin with her at Christmas time and it was FUN but...
No thanks.

Adventure Generator
I've been secretly testing a printable for you. I call it…
The Adventure Generator.
It's filled with ideas to help you decide upon your next adventure. Whether you're feeling stuck in a rut or are just looking for inspiration. {I've also heard that it's great for entertaining kids on snow days!} 😉
The printable has a series of prompts with three parts… an action, a modifier, and a destination.
You flip through each section and end up with a randomly generated adventure. This is a great tool to slip a little adventure into your life.
Before I let the Adventure Generator out into the wild I recruited some Venturers to help me test it out. Here are some sneak peeks of their adventures…
Tamzen braved the winter snow to photograph a hidden spot. {So pretty!}
Cara got the kids involved to map a large game. The mini-cartographers drew their own maps and went on a treasure hunt for a golden tin of cookies! {How adorable?}
One thing I loved about seeing the Adventure Generator at work was how every adventure is unique… even when the prompts are similar.
And I love how Brittney summed the experience up, "It's a fun way to explore without having to take big grand adventures. You can simply look at your backyard, a park, or a familiar area in a new way."
{That's what Kris with a K did when she got find a hidden park in the middle of a Canadian snowstorm.}
There are some basic instructions included for how to assemble the Adventure Generator, but I encourage you to be creative and make it your own.
And look how adorable Masa's is all cut out and colored! {She said she earned cool sister points by procuring a treasure map for her bored younger brother.}
And Cara sewed hers up with the most adorable sewing machine stitch I've ever seen!
Ready to join in on the fun?!?
Get your own copy of the Adventure Generator below and get ready for your own adventures! I can't wait to see where the winds of chance take you. 🙂
Sign up here for access to this freebie.
Be sure to share your adventures on social media using #KindleCuriosity. I'll be sharing some of my favorites.
P.S. If you weren't around last week you may have missed my blog post Embracing my Inner Samwise about conquering self doubt as a creative. Click here to check it out.

I know, "Late again, uh?" Really teacher my dog did eat my homework! A little explanation is needed at this juncture. This week has been a brute. Earlier in the week we had a fire in my apartment building that was fortunately, on the other side of the building. Some stupid kids setting fire to some furniture in the garbage room. Yeah, kids are that stupid! I'm glad no one was hurt and there was little damage to anyone's homes. Next, it's spring and what do people do in the spring? That's right, spring cleaning! Yuck! My partner and I are going to be getting a largesreen TV and I had to do some cleaning up and switching around to accomodate it. Yepper, I'll be able to see Ted 42″ wide. Am I happy or what? Next, there were a couple of doctors appointments and finally when I got down to do uploading…my internet kept crapping out on me. I couldn't stay connected long enough to get anything uploaded. Finally things are a-okay.
Can I say Ted just looked amazing in that white shirt! Elegantly casual…and did I say sexy? Yeah I'm objectifying him but so what! It's my website and I'll say whatever I like. Hopefully if Ted is on today I'll be able to get to work sooner given there's no episode of SUPERNATURAL tonight. Season finale is next Friday. I love my Jared and Jensen.

Air quality at Agate is unimpaired and the visibility is good for the area. John Ray (2002; cf. EPA 2000), NPS Air Quality Specialist, estimates that over the past five years the ozone levels at Agate have been below the Environmental Protection Agency's Primary Standard, with the fourth highest annual daily eight-hour maximum ozone level being 68-75ppb (85% of the current National Ambient Air Quality Standards) and the average annual daily one-hour maximum at 87-98ppb (74% of the older Standard).
An ozone monitoring station was installed at Agate Fossil Beds in 2007. The information collected from this station may be accessed here.

text: PHILADELPHIA, PA (6/01/04) - Buoyed by a first place finish in men's basketball, second place finishes in men's cross country and women's basketball and conference tournament berths in field hockey, women's soccer and softball, Saint Joseph's placed third in the Atlantic 10 Commissioner's Cup overall standings - its highest finish ever - with 113.5 points. The Hawk women's team's finished second with 61 points, while the men placed fourth with 52.5 points. Richmond won the Commissioner's Cup for the second consecutive season. The Spiders ended the season with 141.5 points, 22 points better than runner-up Rhode Island and 28 better than the Hawks. Richmond won or shared six team titles in 2003-04, earning regular season crowns in field hockey and a share of the men's soccer title, as well as postseason championships in women's cross country, field hockey, women's swimming & diving, and men's and women's tennis. In capturing the overall, men's, and women's Commissioner's Cups, Richmond becomes just the second team to accomplish that feat since the three Cups were first awarded in 1996-97. Massachusetts, which swept all three Cups in 2000-01, is the only other team to accomplish that feat. Rhode Island finished second in the overall Commissioner's Cup standings for the fourth year in a row. SJU placed third (113.5 points), while George Washington was fourth with 106.5 points. Duquesne finished in fifth place with 99.5 points, marking its best-ever showing. Following the Dukes are Temple (92.5), Dayton and Massachusetts (91 points apiece), Xavier (79.0), La Salle (78.5), Fordham (72.0), and St. Bonaventure (59.0). Points are awarded in descending order of finish, equal to the number of teams which participate in each sport. Regular season standings are used in round-robin sports: baseball, men's and women's basketball, field hockey, women's lacrosse, men's and women's soccer, softball, and women's volleyball.

Every 6 months or so I like to go through my closet and see what needs updating, what can be donated, and what the clothes hoarder in me finally needs to let go of. Recently I noticed that although I own like a bazillion pairs of jeans, I only have one pair of dress slacks. So I have been working on introducing more pants into the mix. I saw these while shopping for a recent trip, and was hesitant to buy them at first because pleats and pant pockets have the tendency to add more bulk in areas where you least want it, for me that would be my hips section, but I'm glad I decided to try them on before I completely ruled them out.
Olive makes a great neutral and can be worn with a wide range of colors. If you're looking to try this trend, but don't want to commit to an expensive option, I think this is a great pair. I believe they may also come in black and mustard, from sizes 2 to 20. I've already worn these pants on my birthday trip last month to dinner and plan to wear them many more times through out Spring and Summer.
Size reference: Since I'm running a little thicker right now than usual, I tried on both the size 12 and 14. Even though the 12 fit a little snug, I like the fit much better than the 14. The size 14 didn't really seem all that much bigger in size and was loose in the wrong places causing an unflattering fit on me.
For this look, I styled the pants with a cropped blush Zara mock turtle top (in size medium). It was the perfect length for the high waist of these paper-bag pants. It has been chilly here in LA, and although it's a rare day when we need coats in California, it's always good to have one nice coat in the collection just in case we do get a freak cold week…like this one has been. Maybe I'm just mentally prepping for Spring already with this look, even though the temps aren't quite there yet (it's no secret that cold weather and I are not besties).
The pink coat is from Banana Republic (about 2 years old) and the red shoes are oldies as well (you can find the red heels in an old post from about 2 years ago), but I will link some similar finds below in the same sites that I bought this top and pants (so that you don't have to go too far), as well as a couple other options. The sunglasses are MCM and were purchased last Spring, but I will link similar styles below.
Let me know what you think!
Pants: H&M Paper-bag Pants, Top: Zara High Neck Top (in Pink), Coat: Banana Republic (2 years old), Shoes: DV, Earrings: H&M (couldn't find online, bought in store), Ring: H&M (couldn't find online, bought in store), Bracelets: A New Day Bangle Bracelet 10pc (Target)
Other Pink Coat Options:
Topshop Will Ponte Topcoat (Nordstrom)
Other Red High Heel Options:
Steve Madden Raven Ankle Wrap Pump (Nordstrom)
Sam Edelman Ariella Ankle Strap Sandal (Nordstrom)
Kenneth Cole New York Berry Dress Sandals (Macy's)

BBC's Andrew Neil mocks 'grandstanding, virtue signalling' Speaker John Bercow over Donald Trump ban row
Daily Politics host ridiculed the Speaker as 'a preening, puffed-up, pompous little pixie' as MPs launch bid to unseat him
JOHN Bercow was ridiculed by the BBC's Andrew Neil in a spoof speech "banning" Donald Trump from his TV show.
The Daily Politics host mocked the Commons Speaker's "grandstanding" and "virtue signalling" attempt to block the US President from speaking in Parliament on his state visit.
He blasted the Speaker as a "self-important, preening, pretentious, puffed-up, pompous little pixie" in love with the sound of his own voice.
It comes as Mr Bercow was left fighting for his job after Tory MPs launched an ambush to unseat him following his extraordinary outburst in the Commons.
The Speaker - who has previously welcomed the leaders of China and Saudi Arabia - said on Monday would not invite Mr Trump to speak in Westminster Hall.
He added: "I feel very strongly that our opposition to racism, to sexism, and our support for equality before the law and an independent judiciary are hugely important considerations in the House of Commons."
He later was overruled by furious Lords Speaker Lord Fowler, who said Mr Bercow had apologised to him for breaching Parliamentary protocol.
Last night Andrew Neil made fun of the row at the start of his This Week show on BBC1.
In a clear dig at Mr Bercow he joked he would "not wish to issue an invitation for President Trump to appear on this programme."
He said: "I appreciate he's expressed no interest in doing so anyway, but that won't stop me doing a bit of grandstanding and virtue signalling before the rest of the media and the wider public.
"I've taken this position after much serious consideration as to how much free publicity it's likely to garner me, and without consulting the other place — because frankly what Newsnight does is its own business and he's never going to settle for BBC2.
"Now I know that over the years, we've welcomed Vlad the Impaler, Diane Abbott, Adolf Hitler, Ken Livingstone and Transylvania's very own Count Dracula into this studio.
"But let me say as a self-important, solipsistic, egotistical, preening, pretentious, puffed-up, pompous little pixie in love with the sound of my own voice, this programme's long-running opposition to sensible debate and proper analysis coupled with a deep commitment to free Blue Nun for all means I would not feel comfortable sharing a sofa on the public airwaves with someone who says what he thinks and has never even had a sip of alcohol in his life."
GET HIM OUT!Tories plotting to oust John Bercow after attempts to block Donald Trump from Parliament
'GRANDSTANDING BY A POLITICAL PYGMY'He's smug, arrogant and hypocritical... no, not Trump, John Bercow
you bercJohn Bercow apologises for trying to ban Donald Trump from Parliament - Lords Speaker says he could still come
'HE'S A HYPOCRITE'Bercow should 'think about his position' say MPs after backlash to his ban on Trump speaking to Parliament
TRUMP IN TOWNDonald Trump will visit UK in June and London police chief says he expects 'lots of protests'
Yesterday Tory James Duddridge laid down a surprise motion of no confidence in the Speaker and claimed he had lots of support from other MPs.
The ex-Minister said it was time for "a fresh Speaker who has the confidence of the whole House of Commons."
President Trump is due to visit the UK in June on an official state trip.
But the unexpected public rant left MPs in uproar at the breach of tradition as speakers take a vow to be impartial.
James Duddridge tabled his complaint just as the Commons rose for a week's recess, with a showdown set for ten days' time.
The Rochford and Southend East MP said Mr Bercow had "overstepped the mark" adding: "This is perhaps the straw that has broken the camel's back."
He added that he had been "amazed" at the number of people who had encouraged him to put down the sacking motion.
The House of Commons returns on February 20. Mr Duddridge said: "I expect over the recess the number of MPs speaking out will increase and increase and it will be known his position is untenable."
Last night dozens of Tory MPs signalled their support for the bid.
Alec Shelbrooke told The Sun: "I will put my name to any document. John Bercow has brought the Speaker's office into disrepute."
Karl McCartney branded Mr Bercow the "Jeremy Kyle of Parliament"as "his opinion wasn't called for and added nothing of value."
The Lincoln MP added: "Those of us who value the sanctity and traditions of the Mother of all Parliaments were more than disappointed by his cheap intervention."
Mid Bedfordshire's Nadine Dorries said MPs were "still reeling" days after the Speaker's outburst.
After a failed attempt to oust the Speaker in 2010 Mrs Dorries claimed she had "made peace with Bercow, but what he did was totally out of order, I just can't support him anymore."
She added: "I think he has done amazing stuff for the backbenches, and there was a lot of goodwill that he has blown it with what he did.
But UKIP's Douglas Carswell told The Sun: "Having been involved in a previous removal of a Speaker, I will not supporting this initiative."
With the complications of Brexit, Mr Carswell believes that the "last thing we need is the upheaval that will would come with this contest."
A Labour source said it was unlikely any of their MPs would back the motion yet.
A senior Tory told the Sun: "It's in the early stages but James is working very hard to get a lot of momentum behind it."
But they warned without Government giving Ministers a free vote on the subject, the bid was likely doomed.
Last night Mr Bercow's spokesman said: "The Speaker has made his position clear in response to Points of Order earlier this week, stands by that position, and has nothing further to add."

This is a modified, use what you have, but interesting design. Sometimes, those sort of scenarios work out good. Really, it needs to be one inch thick, not the 3/4" thick sheet shown, but budget was a factor.
Still it is not the type of fixture, you see everyday. Medium standard size at 46 tall, 24 wide, and 18 deep. Shipping is easy with knockdown into 3 pieces, and screw assembled at destination. The bycycle is extra charge.

Spring 2018 Wrap-Up and One Sentence Reviews!
Let's Get Personal For A Moment
I know, I know… I have been completely neglecting my blog lately!! Long story short, I'm in my last year of becoming an engineer and I had to finish my dissertation and of course I had a lot of bad luck and it was kind of a mess, but I made the deadline (I'm so relieved that date is finally in the past), thank God.
Look at that! So many pages of torture! After that came a lot of exams, and because of my bad dissertation luck I sadly had yet to start studying for all of that. It was a mess, but they are OVER. Hopefully I can graduate in September and then I'm officially an engineer, you guys!
I'm probably never going to do an engineering job because at the end of September I start with classes to become a teacher! I'm so looking forward to it!
I really really really missed the blog, but you have to believe me that I just had zero time left and I just had to take this break. I never really wanted to put a message out that I was taking a break from blogging, because every other blog I ever read that put a message like that on their blog, never returned. I really love doing this and I love reviewing books and I have so many blog ideas and I CAN'T WAIT TO START AGAIN.
One Sentence Reviews!
Here, you can find all the One Sentence reviews for the first three months of this year!
Enough of my complaining, about school, life and not having time! I did read some books and I can't wait to do some one sentence reviews about them! I do still have to write reviews for most of them, I have so many unfinished review drafts ?.
I read a lot of great and fantastic books the last few months! Because I was so busy I just didn't want to risk reading something I wasn't going to like, so I mostly picked books that had gotten great reviews by reviewers I trust.
Olympian Challenger (Olympian Challenger #1) – Astrid Arditi: An amazing book that felt a bit like the more mature version of Percy Jackson, although the romance can just leave. (Review)
Educated – Tara Westover: This amazing book should be a mandatory read for everyone who takes education in Europe or the US for granted. (Review)
The Sea of Monsters (Percy Jackson and the Olympians 2) -Rick Riordan: I really should have read these books as a child, they are so perfect!
How To Write A Love Story – Katy Cannon: Reading a book about writing a book messed with my head quite a bit, but it was such a cute story!

Daughter of the Siren Queen (Daughter of the Pirate Lord #2) – Tricia Levenseller: I loved the first one better, it was a bit too monotone. (I'm adding this useless extra sentence because the name of this book is longer than my review and I wasn't going to let that happen!)
A Court of Frost and Starlight (A court of Thorns and Roses #3.5) – Sarah J. Maas: This book really served its purpose, it was the great ending to the original trilogy that we didn't get at the end of A Court of Wings and Ruin.
Our Dark Duet (Monsters of Verity #2) – Victoria Schwab: Damn, I really remember liking this book a lot, but I already forgot what happened… Woops!
The Hazel Wood (The Hazel Wood #1) – Melissa Albert: This book has many mixed reviews, but I really liked it, I would love to learn more about many of the other characters.
Thunder Head (Arc of a Scythe #2) – Neal Shusterman: That ending KILLED me, can't wait for the next one!
The Belles (The Belles #1) – Dhonielle Clayton: I liked this one, but I felt like the story still has to take of for real.
To Kill A Kingdom – Alexandra Christo: The world building in this one was amazing and seldom seen, so great, I still hope this isn't going to be a stand alone after all!

NYC Housing Policy Tools Series
Over the next few weeks, as we prepare for the Trump Era, I will spend time on various housing policies in NYC in order to help frame the the affordable housing crisis. I have picked four topics related to NYC housing laws: rent regulation, zoning, occupancy, and property taxes. I concede that there are other policy tools that could be included (particularly around financing) but these four tend to have an immediate impact on the most people. The hope for this blog series is to explain the current policy tool kit in New York, but also to show why questioning the underlying assumptions about housing policy might be able to expand it.
Part 4 of 4: Death and Bad Tax Policy
For my final post about NYC policy tools, I come to perhaps the most opaque and the most frustrating topic: property taxes. I can honesty say that after years of studying housing issues, I think the property tax system is the single biggest source of injustice in housing. The incentives are warped, the metrics are arbitrary, and the goals are backwards.
That last point is an important place to start. What is the goal of tax policy? It is simply to allow a government to provide a baseline of services – police, fire, water, etc? Is it to encourage or discourage a particular type of activity or behavior? Is it to promote social cohesion through income distribution? Depending on your political ideology and personal experience, you probably have a clear idea of what you think it is supposed to do and not to do.
But if you think tax policy shouldn't be designed to impact behavior or social outcomes, you might be disappointed to find out that all tax policy does that. All tax policy ever. Anything that a government chooses to tax or not to tax obviously has social and economic consequences. Any federalist or anti-federalist can wrap their rhetoric on taxes around liberty, strong governance, and whatever they want, but they are attempting to codify subjective values.
(There are also inherent problems with relying on property taxes to pay for things like public education that impact behavior and social outcomes, but I'll address that at another time.)
This is what is so confounding about NYC property taxes. What values are being projected? Nominally, it is designed to provide tax relief for homeowners but it doesn't exactly do that. It is sort of designed to give tax benefits to condo/co-op owners, but it in fact gives huge benefits to speculators. It isn't expressly designed to screw renters, but it absolutely does. For a city that is two-thirds renters, that is ass backwards.
Since 1981, NYC has split property into four classes with varying tax rates – Class 1: single-family homes (19.991%), Class 2: multiple-dwelling buildings (rentals, condos, co-ops) (12.892%), Class 3: utilities (10.934%) and Class 4: commercial (10.574%). For this blog, I am only focusing on Class 1 and Class 2.
On the surface, it looks like homeowners get screwed comparatively. But below the surface, these numbers are almost meaningless to compare. How the value of each property class gets assessed, what portion of a given property can be taxed, and how often a property tax assessment can change all vary dramatically.
There are two big differences between how this system works for Class 1 and Class 2. In Class 1, the Dept. of Finance measures the market value of a property by matching it to comparable real estate sales in the surrounding neighborhood. This gives as close-to-market value for the land as possible. In Class 2, instead, the DOF measures property income – ie the rent roll – rather than property value. (If you wonder why certain ground-floor retail space remains empty in buildings for a long time, here's your answer. Unless a landlord can get exactly what they want in rent from a retail space, they have an incentive just to write it off.)
Second, for Class 1 and Class 2, there are limits to what percentage of the market value the DOF can tax. Instead of applying the 19.991% or 12.892% to 100% of the property value in each Class, Class 1 has a limit of 6% of a property's market value, while Class 2 has a 45% limit.
There is also a 20% cap on how much a tax burden can go up over 5 years in Class 1. In other words, a homeowner is only getting taxed on 6% of the market value of their property and pays the 19.991% tax on that number. And even if the neighborhood has exploded in value, there is a limit to how much the property tax can go up. These factors mean there is an effective tax rate (ETR) much lower than the stated rates.
A few years ago, City Limits showed a stark example of this inequality. Mayor de Blasio's Park Slop home was valued at $1.4m but assessed $2,894 in property tax. A similarly valued home in Borough Park was assessed $15,000 in property taxes. The difference is how fast the value of Park Slope homes have changed compared to Borough Park. This means that the biggest tax savings inevitably go to homeowners who live in highly valued neighborhoods.
Owners of co-ops and condos, particularly in Manhattan, are the biggest beneficiaries in the current system. As I mentioned earlier, because Class 2 combines these with rental buildings, the DOF draws their assessment from the income streams of these buildings even though they are dramatically different enterprises. (There is also a large tax abatement on the books since 1996 that gives back as much as 25% of property taxes for co-ops and condos.)
In some cases this means that an individual unit in a co-op can sell for more than the entire measured property value of the building. According to the same City Limit report, a couple of years ago a co-op unit in the UES sold for $54m while the entire building was valued at $41m. That co-op owner's property tax was on 45% of $41m divided by how many other units there are in the building, minus whatever further tax abatement they were qualified for.
This means speculators can make a killing in this market segment. It's why so many foreign interests buy this type of asset (see my blog on the Panama Papers.) I've already spent a lot of blog space talking about how 421a distorts the real estate market by giving away tax benefits to high-end developers and their buyers. You can see how that policy on top of this tax system effectively erases any tax liability for these high-end buildings, which lends itself to favoring speculation.
Let's talk about why renters get screwed in this system. To begin with, based on the way the Class designation works, renters live in buildings with a higher tax burden than single-family homes and condos/co-ops. Renters ($41, 262) also have less than half the household income of homeowners ($86,468) in NYC. As a result, you have a higher tax burden getting passed to individual households with lower incomes, causing a higher relative tax burden on renters.
Renters also don't internalize the property tax system as much as homeowners do, even though their rent does. This leaves renters without any political power to change the tax system. Just as I discussed how market-rate tenants don't organize with rent-regulated tenants, very few tenants organize around property tax reform – they don't think it applies to them. This allows a deeply unfair system to remain in place and it robs the city of much-needed and rightfully deserved revenue.
Beginning shortly after the system came into place in the 1980s, there have been efforts by mayors, the city council, and other advocates to reform the system. The problem here is that Albany controls the tax policy. Specifically, it controls how the classifications are defined, what % of an assessment counts towards billable tax, what the caps are, and how any corresponding abatements apply. NYC can set the specific rates in each classification, but that's it.
There isn't much political will to change this system currently because it means upsetting the powerful developer interests in NYC (who benefit from the high-end speculative market segment) or upsetting homeowner groups. Without a unified renter effort, it is difficult to change the status quo.
What would a fair property tax system look like in NYC? A good place to start would be reclassification. Homeowners should be in one class whether they own a single-family home or a condo. This would remove the grave disparities between single-family home and condo/co-op assessments as well as separating owners from renters altogether. In a city that is majority renter, many of which are poorer, having a system that burdens renters unfairly is self-defeating.
Second, matching the billable percentages in each class somewhere in the middle would bring an effective tax rate in line to remove differences between owners and renters. Additionally, this could remove the tax advantages that fuel speculation on the high-end ownership market. This distorts land-use and prevents more productive and equitable development.
Finally, removing the caps on increasing property taxes in popular neighborhoods would allow the city to capture the proportional value increase that a homeowner garners. Given that the city is providing the same, if not better services to warrant that increase, it is entirely reasonable to do so. If there is concern that a dramatic increase in property tax might be too much for a poorer resident, institute a case-specific means-testing increase rather than a blanket cap.
These are just some of the ideas that have been floated, but there needs to be political action taken to organize renters on this matter. If there is one commonality between all four of these sections it is that point. Renters are a sleeping giant in New York politics. If awoken and organized, they can reframe the economic and political policy discussions in the city and create an unprecedented period of innovation and reform that could benefit all parties in the city.

21st November 2018, Teddington
Pireta, the developer of wearable smart textile technology, has been selected to exhibit at the IDTechEx Show! that took place in Santa Clara, CA, last week. Pireta exhibited as part of the IDTechEx Launchpad, an initiative that gives early-stage companies the opportunity to showcase their state-of-the-art technologies to over 3,500 attendees. As one of just ten companies selected, Pireta unveiled its innovative e-textile technology for the first time.
Pireta's patented free-form printed circuit process is designed to allow electronic systems to be assembled directly onto textiles. Unlike printed conductive links, Pireta's technology has no impact on the handle, drape, stretch or breathability of the fabric, enabling a new generation of truly wearable smart garments and e-textiles, the company explains.
"Pireta's highly innovative process attaches a thin, highly-durable metallic layer at the fibre level, resulting in excellent conductivity but with no impact on the performance of the textile. This means that electronics can be integrated into stretchable, breathable, washable smart garments that can be worn close to the body with ease and comfort, making them truly wearable," the company says.
The technology is compatible with standard industry processes, using commercially-available equipment and low-cost chemistry. It can be applied to finished garments or fabric on the roll, making it suitable for both niche and mass markets. Applicable to a wide range of textiles and fabrics, Pireta's process can be applied in wearable and e-textile applications targeted at numerous sectors, including healthcare, defence, sport, and fashion.
The company demonstrated the technology in action, including the printed circuit samples, created on a range of fabrics using Pireta's innovative process. "We are thrilled to show the industry how our technology can change the future of e-textiles and enable a new generation of truly wearable smart garments. The IDTechEx Show! is an excellent opportunity for us to showcase our technology, and we are really excited to have been selected to exhibit as part of the Launchpad programme," commented Chris Hunt, Founder and CTO of Pireta. electronics.

Sabres Flyers Preview
Well I haven't done a preview in a little bit, due to being busy and lazy at the same time. Its a rough combination. They are kinda dry, kinda boring, and with teams you are already familiar with and you know who is on them and what they do, they get very repetitive. But with the season winding down and every game important, lets crank up the preview machine.
The Sabres head into Philly tonight for a "nationally televised game" which has major playoff impact. The Flyers have been surging of late, minus their expensive center Daniel Briere. A signing that is going to kill them over the next few years. With the Cap going nowhere but down. The Flyers are 4th in the conference with 80 points, 7 ahead of the 10th placed Sabres and have 2 games on hand. They are 6-3-1 in their last 10, while the Sabres are 4-5-1. The Flyers aren't a team the Flyers are chasing, but will need to beat them in order to climb up the standings to the team that are. Who I'm going to think cool down in the next two weeks, its a streaky league. And teams stay hot for 10 or 12 games, then have a down turn.
Well Danny "poetic justice" Briere will not play tonight due to his torn groin issues. But we will see everyone's favorite Marty Biron in net tonight. Who is no doubt playing for a contract next year. Which of course no one will have money to spend. So good luck Marty!
Marty has pretty decent stats this year, 20-13-5 .912 Sv% and 2.79 GAA. Him and Niitymaki are pretty interchangeable. Thats why they haven't settled on a #1. But with Marty's good play in the playoffs last year, I see them riding him. Unless he starts to struggle.
The Flyers are very offensive team. They have 6 guys with 20 or more goals, then it falls off a cliff. But thats two solid lines of offense. Led by Jeff Carter and Mike Richards. Both have 66 points on the year. Richards is more a set up man, versus the goal scorer that is Jeff Carter. Simone Gagne has 60 points, Scott Hartnell 46, Mike Knuble 41 and Joffrey Lupul 40. You can't really take a shift off against these guys. Because when the first two lines are off the ice, the next few will punish you. Especially with a acquistion of Dan Carcillo. Who is crazy I think.
The defense is okay I think. It maybe their biggest weakness outside of goaltender. Kimmo Timonen is their best defender. Coburn and Carle are nice D Men, but they aren't what I call great. The Flyers will be a tough first round out, due to their offense. But when push comes to shove, I don't think they have to make a run this year.
The Sabres on the other hand, need this game. They are 3 points out of 8th. Yes only 4 out of 5th. But they can't lose 2 in a row. They don't know when Miller is back, and they are riding Lalime, even though he had a tough outing in Ottawa. They are rested, Derek Roy has the flu. But they need a full team effort. This is a very important week. The Flyers tonight. The Panthers on Thursday and the Thrashers on Saturday. They need to take 5 out of 6 points in this stretch.
Well game is at 7pm enjoy.

A "live" report from the 2024 Olympic Games and a heartfelt tribute to the positive power of sport proved to be the winning combination in the International Olympic Committee's video contest for the Olympic Congress.
Vanessa Lee of Canada and Lee Kang-Eun of South Korea submitted their separate videos in response to a series of video challenges from Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt and other Olympians that were posted on the IOC's web site in August.
"I want to know what you think the future of the Olympics is going to be. Seriously," Bolt said. French archer Berangere Schuh, British BMX champion Shanaze Reade, Jamaican hurdler Melaine Walker, British boxer James Degale and British runner Dame Kelly Holmes also called for submissions.
More than 200 people responded before the contest closed on 22 September, and more than 20,000 from around the world have visited the Olympic Congress site on YouTube. The IOC announced the winners today and will reward them with free trips to the Olympic Congress, which will take place in Copenhagen from 3 to 5 October.
Vanessa Lee, an archer who hopes to compete in the 2012 Games, presented her vision of the future in video that features an interview with her at "the 2024 Games in Sierra Leone." Lee, 20, poses as a competitor and tells the viewing audience that it is her fourth Olympic Games.
"It's great seeing so many athletes from developing countries really step up their game. They're really the ones to beat these days," she tells her interviewer, a friend who poses as a sports journalist.
Lee Kang-Eun used her video to offer her prediction that the Olympic Games would help make the dream of global harmony become a reality by 2024. Although from Seoul, she is currently studying sports marketing in Rennes, France, in pursuit of her dream of becoming an IOC member.
"I think the word 'harmony' is the best word to describe the future of the Olympic Games," she says on her video. Lee, also 20, tells the video audience that the Games and Olympic athletes set an example that fosters both political and social harmony.
"The Movement sends the message that if you try your best, if you have a dream and you go for it — never give up — you can really achieve that dream," she says.
Discover Vanessa Lee's winning video.
Discover the winning video submitted by Lee Kang-Eun.
The messages from Bolt and the other Olympians, as well other video submissions from the public, are here.
Although the video contest is over, the IOC is encouraging video submissions from anyone who would like to share their opinion. Videos can be uploaded at www.youtube.com/olympiccongress

Now we all know how to dream, but are you really and truly brave enough, do you have that courage that we need to dream of what we want and keep going with the patience that you also need. It takes a lot of courage to face the reality that you really want, the bigger the dream the better, but never lack courage to act, to put yourself into action and bring that reality to you, slowly but surely, do not give up, sometimes these things take time, but you need to do your part, when you visualise and hold positive thoughts, you also need to take action in the direction of what you want your reality to be.
This quote is so true, the amount of people who do not realise the importance of being them…..you want to fit in, you want to be liked, you want to be loved, then try being yourself, this is your life, it does not belong to anyone else and should not be controlled by anyone else, make your own life and live it as you choose, by all means share your life , but always be your own person, when you go against your own wishes all the time, at some point you will explode whether this be in your relationships with others or your health, but at some point it will raise to the surface , never fool anyone, but less yourself !
The more you are in tune with what you really want, the happier a person you will be, you will feel more fulfilled in your life, more complete,when you obtain your dream, it does not mean you will not have another one, we are human beings and this is within our nature, we want more and more, this does not have to be material things, our dreams can be many things, but we still have the right to them, all of them, and that is your job to realise them.
Your actions, your thoughts and your believes are what will bring your dreams into reality, nothing is impossible, the word itself tells you that. When you believe in yourself, never let anyone tell you other wise, you can, you can, you can !
Happy dreams, Happy life, Happy you ❤
