写的长了些,这里最重要的是搞明白 Listing agreements,然后你就能明白其他了。
1. Listing agreements
When a seller wants to sell the house in the MLS market, the seller needs sign a listing agreement with the listing broker/agent (there is no exception). Nationwide, there are 4 type listing agreements. In WA, there are 3 type listing agreements:
1. Open listing
2. Exclusive agency listing
3. Exclusive right to sell listing
#1 "Open listing" is allowed in WA but almost no one use it now. It is usually informal and verbal. Whenever it is used, it is very likely to create lawsuit.
#2 "Exclusive agency listing". For this type listing, the seller is obligated to pay the broker a commission if the property sells, regardless of who actually sells the property. The seller, however, still retains the right to sell the property himself and save the buyer agent's commission.
#3 "Exclusive right to sell listing". The seller is contracted to pay the commission (listing part, and buy agent part) no matter what. If there is a buyer comes without an agent, the buyer agent commission will go to the listing broker (not the listing agent). The money (if more than $25) simply can't go to anyone else (Include seller or buyer).
In WA, most of the listing agreements are "Exclusive right to sell listing". After seller signs the listing agreement, the seller needs to pay the commission (listing part, and buy agent part) no matter what. Suppose a buyer makes a deal with the seller to buy a house for 60W without agent, the cost for buyer is 60w. Suppose a buyer has a discount buyer agent, the cost to buyer is less: it is "60W minus commission back (someone are willing to give 2% of house price)" Most listing agreements also have a clause for the following: Within a few months AFTER the listing agreement expires, if the seller sell the house himself, the seller still needs pay the full commission to listing broker. (So there is no use to ask the seller to quit the listing agreement and make a deal with you. The cost to seller is same; for buyer, you still lost the
commission back) If you have a chance to try to make a deal with a person (for sell by owner, use the listing agreement #1 or #2), you still have a chance to save some money. This requires you have the RE knowledge and skills to make the correct deal. 如果你有足够knowledge and skills,你可以不用医生而给自己看病,你可以不用律师而自己出庭给自己辩护。Same logic for agents and all other services.
For person sell by owner & use the listing agreement #1 or #2, those people are usually very strict about money, it really depends on your bargain skills to get a good deal. And needless to say it again, these people only count a very small percentage of the houses for sell in the market.
Another special case is New construction, let me know if you have any questions, there are lot of tricks and tips here.
#2, Buyer Agent历史, Duty
Before 1994, although buyer agents drive the buyer to tour the houses, buyer agent is legally represent the seller. The confusion is getting bigger and bigger so there is a change around 1994 (nationwide). King county, Snohomish county, Pierce county… implemented the change on 1/1/1994, a few other counties did the change a few month later. With the new change, buyer agent should represent buyer only and be loyal to buyer. If the buyer agent didn' t, then you should fire him/her.
By law, the current Buyer Agent's duty is http://apps.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?cite=18.86.050.
It is true there are 害群之马agents,不顾买方的利益,就想把把房子卖出去,卖 的价格越高越好。As a buyer, you can fire the agent IMMEDIATELY and interview more to find a good one.
#3 Agent 的收入
Someone thinks an agent will earn a big $$$, this is totally misunderstanding. I think the real number will surprise most people who reads this document.
Nationwide, the average income for licensed agent is 7000 per year. That's $600 per month, much less than your babysitter. Yes, the reason is most agents never made a single transaction in a whole year. A lot of people know the house price is high in California, one thing you don't know is there are many more agents than the houses sold in Ca yearly. In WA, excluding the part-time agents, the full time agent's average income is about 3w yearly, less than half of most people here.
It is true there are some successful agents earn much more, but the percentage is small. A lot of agents很辛苦,收入相对低,压力很大,患 depression病的很多,你可以想象agent 赚了18,000 after sold a 600,000 house, but the TRUTH is a big part of the money will go to the buyer, then the agent will split the rest with the broker, paying a lot of fee for each transaction. 写了这么多,只是希望大家能互相理解。
#4 未来的展望
In the future, 或许买方agent不是必需的,卖方也不是必需的。In the future, 或 许每个人都无需交税,这样每个人每年都会省很多钱。。。也许我太老了,now I dream this less often. Instead I think it is smart to think about how to save the money under the current system: like read the tax code to learn how to省税,learn investment to earn more, and how to take advantage of the commission back.

Millennials, eh? It's all avocado toast, Instagram filters and Netflix. Yeah? Well, no not really. Millennials, and their younger siblings Gen Z, are a diverse group who defy expectation. So how can brands truly understand them? Here's our very own Gen Z'er Poppy Ingham to explain...
Okay, let's talk generation demographics. As marketers, we can't help but label every possible cohort - "oh, 1984? There's a name for that, George Orwell." But the likelihood that your boss, who in every marketing meeting exclaims "but we have to connect with the millennials!", is in fact accurately describing the correct generation is about as likely as I - a 1996 baby - ever getting on the property ladder (this is because, as a young person, I am spending too much money on smashed avocado on toast.)
The truth is, there is a lot of disagreement about generational segmentation. "Generation Z is from 1996 onwards," claims the top result on Google searches, but SocialMarketing.org is confident this apocalyptic-sounding group hail from 1995 onwards. Like most things in marketing, it isn't quite set in stone. If you're a young person like myself, you're probably rolling your eyes right now at the prospect of another out-of-touch article written by someone who still maintains the ideology that we're all lazy, naive, too-cool-for-school youngsters. This article isn't that though.
Truly trying to decipher the key differences between the close-knit millennials and Generation Z groups came about with the publication of our esports guide - Field of View: Understanding Your esports Audience. esports fans and participants are a diverse bunch, and not predominantly male millennials, as most people may expect. There is a much more granular view of esports demographics that we had to uncover, and simply grouping all young people and stamping them with the millennial title just wouldn't cut it - so here's what we actually know, sort of…
"Let's start at the very beginning, a very good place to start…" sings Fräulein Maria in The Sound of Music, a 1965 musical the smashed the box-office 30 years before Generation Z arrived in the big wide world. If you turn to Wikipedia to tell you all about millennials and Generation Z, you're going to see plenty of those doubtful "disambiguous" brackets surrounding the numbers. So here's the important thing - everything anyone has ever told you about Millennials or Gen Z has to be taken with a pinch of salt.
Typically the term millennials - also known as Generation Y, to make matters more confusing - refers broadly to those born between the early 1980s up until the mid 1990s, though some researchers go as far to say as being born in the early 2000s qualifies you as a Millennial. Millennials are the generation following on from Generation X, and are typically dubbed as being digital natives because of early access to communications, media and digital technologies.
Now, life isn't an extensive game of The Sims, unfortunately, so aspects, traits and ideologies aren't decided by your birth year - however, millennials are noted for being considerably more liberal, confident and achieving. This increase in social liberal views, as well as a higher overall support for classical liberal policies than preceding generations, has led to some tensions between millennials and their predecessors - particularly on political matters such as Britain's withdrawal from the European Union.
Generation Z, the demographic group after the Millennials, bear many similarities in common with their disruptive predecessors. Though there is no precise date for when Generation Z starts or ends; the mid-1990s to early 2000s is generally used as the starting birth year. The most significant thing about this generation is the internet. Yup, that's right, instead of passing me a pacifier, my mother was handing me my first taste of Internet Explorer.
Just go ahead and call us the iGeneration - oh wait, you do, thanks MC Lars - as Apple's first iPod was revealed in 2001, not long after Generation Z was ditching the diapers for Atomic Kitten and Shaggy on repeat. A 2014 study saw Generation Z self-identify as being loyal, open-minded and responsible, traits perhaps influenced by and carried over from the millennials.
Let's get down to the nitty-gritty. How often have you come across a 20-something that doesn't own a smartphone? Sure, you might not see them on their iPhones, but 70% of 18-34 year olds use smartphones in the bathroom, which might explain that. Statista found that the highest number of Facebook users was found among 25-34 year olds, of which 5.2 million are women, and 5.5 million men. As a rule of thumb, the older the age group, the lower the number of social media users.
The combination of broad exposure to social media and inherently liberal views has also resulted in a hyper-awareness of social responsibility. As investigated in our article "How Brands Can React to The Changing Nature of Corporate Social Responsibility", 70% of Millennials are confident they would voice their opinions to a company about its social responsibility efforts; either positively or negatively. With 81% of Millennials checking Twitter at least once per day, social media provides unfathomable power and responsibility to young people. If your business trips up on a social media campaign or ad, you'll sure as Hell know about it thanks to younger generations.
Sure, older generations might sneer at our extensive use of social media and smartphones, but with the internet being our second language, we can tackle social injustice just one Tweet at a time.
Okay, so the "facts" on Generation Z and Millennials and be a little iffy, but what we can conclude is that teenagers, right through to 30-somethings, hold more power and potential in their smartphones than ever before. To reach their level, you have to be disruptive, confident and brave across digital, or alternatively, have a multitude of dog images at your disposal.
Adaptable and diverse can be used to explain the digital industry, but can also be applied to Millennials and Gen Z, as in an ever expanding digital world, these natives harness and contribute to issues that would otherwise be untouchable. Well, that, or Instagram their avocado on toast…
With even Wikipedia doubting itself, the presumptions about millennials and Generation Z are still up-for-debate. What do you think? What are your thoughts? Tweet us, @FastWebMedia.

The southern coast of Iceland is among the most beautiful and dramatic parts of Iceland. It is also one of the least hospitable areas, dominated by washed-out sand and lava flows, and an exposed coastline with no natural harbours for hundreds of kilometres west of Höfn. Inevitably given its location, it was the first part of Iceland that many travellers came to, including the very first Norse settler, Ingolf Arnarson. It shows either confidence or desperation that Ingolf and the settlers that followed him pushed on past this unpromising beginning to find good land and safe harbours further round the coast.
In 874, according to The Book of Settlements, Ingolf Arnarson and his sworn-brother Hjorleif arrived in Iceland and were separated as they approached land. Ingolf spent his first winter on Ingólfshöfði, a distinctive 77m high headland in a vast expanse of flat sand. During that first winter they must have explored the surrounding area and found some of the pearls of the Icelandic landscape.
A short way to the north of Ingólfshöfði they would have stumbled upon magical Svartifoss, framed by its overhanging basaltic cliff; like many thousands of visitors since they must have been entranced by the delicate waterfall in its wooded gully. From Svartifoss they would have continued up the mountain behind what is now the main centre for Vatnajökull National Park at Skaftafell, until they came out onto a viewpoint like this over the glacier Skaftafellsjökull:
Probably Ingolf and his followers would have continued up the mountain until the vast bulk of the Vatnajökull ice cap appeared before them, Europe's biggest by volume. On other expeditions they might have travelled east along the coast until they came to Jökulsárlón, a glacier lake made famous by several films and television programs, including two James Bonds. They would surely have been as enthralled as I was by the landscape, but they must also have been worried by the apparent lack of good land – though a couple of successful farms were later established along the foot of the mountains here.
I hitched my way westwards along the coast from Höfn, stopping to visit glacial lakes, waterfalls, and for an ill-advised scramble onto a treacherously ridged glacier. My aim was to get to Vík that night, near where Hjorleif landed and spent his first winter. Here too natural wonders abound; the petrified trolls of the Reynisdrangar sea stacks and the basalt cave at Reynir. And not least the miles and miles of perfectly black beaches, emphasised by the white foam of endless waves breaking on them.
Further west is the waterfall Skógafoss, among the most distinctive and postcard friendly of Iceland's waterfalls; it was even the scene chosen for Iceland's Eurovision introduction this year. The land around Vík and westwards along the coast is better, though natural harbours are still lacking, and Hjorleif decided to settle permanently. The story goes that having no oxen he forced some recently captured Irish slaves to pull a plough before sowing the first crop the following spring. They weren't overjoyed by this task, and at the first opportunity they killed Hjorleif and his followers, took his boat, and rowed out to some islands they could see offshore.
Later that spring Ingolf discovered his sworn-brother's body, and noting the absence of the boat, correctly guessed where the slaves had gone. He followed them there with his men, and catching them unprepared slaughtered the lot. The islands are still called the Vestmannaeyjar (Westmen Islands) after their first unfortunate inhabitants, and they have a history of disaster.
In the seventeenth century the islands were targeted by raiding Algerian pirates and a large proportion of the islanders were killed or captured and forced into slavery. Then in 1973 a two-hundred metre high volcano appeared on the edge of the main town literally overnight, and spewed out vast quantities of lava for months. The entire population of about five thousand people was evacuated in a few hours that first night, and then a desperate battle began to halt the lava by cooling it with seawater before it overran the town and blocked the only entrance to the harbour. The total area of the island was increased by one fifth during the eruption, but the cooling efforts were eventually successful and both the harbour entrance and most of the town were preserved.
I spent a night camping on Heimaey, the main island of the Vestmannaeyjar, and an afternoon climbing the steep ridges that line the nothern side of the island, and the young volcano Eldfell. Today it looks as innocent as Hverfell by Mývatn, just a pile of black and red shingle in a U-shape around a burst crater, and makes a great viewing point for looking over the islands.

"Mulder and Scully Meet the Were-Monster"; the very title suggests this is going to be the sort of episode that shouldn't be taken seriously. As much as The X-Files in the past has featured science fiction, horror, and supernatural elements throughout, there's always been an underlying sense of humour, often shown through the interactions of the characters. Occasionally though there have been episodes winking at the audience, fused with a rich satirical, quirky edge that leave the audience laughing. <continue reading>

He was speaking at the golden jubilee celebrations of the Avadi Heavy Vehicles Factory (AHVF).
Addressing mediapersons on the upcoming developments, he said the technology to destroy anti-tank missiles had been bought from Russia and the same, to be introduced soon, would be upgraded to suit the needs of the Indian tanks. "The present tanks weigh around 45-60 tonnes. Technological superiority is increasingly going to be the decisive factor in future battles. The prediction is that future tanks would weigh less than 30 tonnes, mak- ing them light enough to fly in fleets of C-130 transports, land on dirt strips, and roll off ready to fight," Dimri said.
"The production of equipment at the Avadi Heavy Vehicles Factory works out to 25 per cent and this translates to production of ` 2,600-crore worth equipment per year, whereas the total amount of equipment produced through all ordnance factories is `12,000 crore. Two more ordnance factories will come up in Nalanda (Bihar) and in Korba (Chattisgarh)," he added.
MC Bansal, Additional Director General, Indian Ordnance Factories, and MSN Rao, General Manager, AHVF, were also present.

Farm and advocacy groups are hard at work this holiday week doing some heavy reading - the House version of the 2012 Farm Bill. Wading into the deep waters on this bill offers a look at the programs being offered. In announcing the bill, House Ag Committee Chair Frank Lucas, R-Okla., reports the bill is reform-minded and fiscally responsible policy. And Ranking Member Collin Peterson, D-Minn., is happy his Dairy Security Act is part of the bill.
Groups are poring over the bill looking for differences and similarities to the Senate version, which passed two weeks ago. The key savings offered in the House version - $35 billion in mandatory funding - is significantly higher than the Senate version. Perhaps the most contentious savings is the $16 billion in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, which is well above the Senate's $4.5 billion cut.
The House does end direct payments, countercyclical payments, the Average Crop Revenue Election program and the Supplemental Revenue Assistance Payments. These are replaced with new reforms.
The House is offering a choice in risk management tools.
Price Loss Coverage addresses deep, multi-year declines, a risk that Southern farmers say isn't covered by the Senate's Agriculture Risk Coverage program. PLC would complement crop insurance, which is a single-year payout program in case of disaster. PLC uses modern yields and an index of blow cost of production prices to establish a market-oriented, price-based risk management tool for producers, the Committee says.
This provision is similar to an amendment offered by Sen. Saxby Chambliss, R-Ga., during deliberation of the Senate farm bill that would provide a base payout in case of a significant disaster over more than one year. It sets a reference price for key crops based on production costs and would provide payment based on a number of factors. For example, the reference price for wheat is $5.50 per bushel, for corn it is $3.70 per bushel, for soybeans $8.40, for peanuts $535 per ton. Essentially the aim is to provide enough coverage to keep a farm in business until times improve.
The other program - Revenue Loss Coverage - is similar to the Senate's ARC program. It requires a producer to experience at least a 15% loss, "helping to ensure that all risk is not removed from farming and that no growers are guaranteed profits." RLC offers coverage based in county-wide losses to ensure that a government program is not set up to duplicate, for free, what farmers should pay for under crop insurance.
Cotton growers are ineligible for PLC or RLC, but can purchase an area-wide, group-risk crop insurance policy, known as STAX. This provision is included in the Senate version of the bill.
The House is also reauthorizing Supplemental Agriculture Disaster Assistance for livestock producers. Essentially all programs aimed at helping livestock, bee, fish and tree producers, in times of major loss are reauthorized in this bill.
Payment Limits
The House measure includes payments, a contentious issue, but one that saw some success in the Senate. In the House version, there will be a limit on payments for covered commodities - excluding peanuts. Under the House version of the bill, the current limit for one or more covered commodities is set at $125,000. Peanuts get a separate $125,000 limit. Essentially, if you're a corn, soybeans and peanut farmer your farm's limit would be $250,000 - $125,000 for the corn and soybeans and the added $125,000 for peanuts.
But there's more, the measure also includes a limit on the amount of adjusted gross income a farmer can have to receive payments. The farmer or legal entity will not be eligible to receive any benefit during a crop, fiscal or program year if the average adjusted gross income of the person, or legal entity, exceeds $950,000. That is the average adjusted gross income over three years.
Nutrition programs
Nutrition programs
The savings touted - $16 billion - is coming from a range of efforts, many aimed at folks who "game" the system or those that have been eligible and will no longer be. For example, traditional college students would not be eligible for SNAP under the new bill; though students enrolled in vocational and technical programs, trade studies, remedial course work and basic literacy remain eligible.
The bill would eliminate state performance bonuses for administering SNAP, which the Committee says would save nearly a $500 million without impacting SNAP recipient benefits. The bill would also eliminate SNAP payments to lottery winners, a measure the Senate has already approved.
Many of the House moves are aimed at tightening up on the program. Currently more than 40 million people receive SNAP benefits. The touted savings, which are nearly four times higher than the Senate version of the farm bill would have to be worked out in the conference committee after the House measure passes.
Like the Senate measure the House is tightening up on programs, streamlining payments and generally managing conservation in a more efficient way. The House version ratchets the number of programs down to 13 from 23, which the Committee claims is a $6 billion savings.
The Conservation Reserve Program is being "focused" with a gradual reduction of acres in the program. Eventually the program would include just 25 million acres, down from the current 32 million acres. The Committee says this move would save nearly $4 billion. There would be more flexibility for haying and grazing on CRP ground - a hot issue in 2012 with the increasing lack of forage during an expanding drought. The bill would preserve 2 million acres for working grassland contracts.
The House would maintain current Environmental Quality Incentives Program funding. The EQIP cost share program helps producers meet the needs of new regulations, but the Wildlife Habitat Incentives Program will be rolled into EQIP.
The Conservation Security Program continues, with enrollment limited to 9 million acres per year. This tightening of conservation programs and management will require further study, but Senate moves along similar lines have been greeted positively by a range of groups.
In announcing the farm bill, one provision highlighted by the Committee provides regulatory relief. Essentially, the Committee is rolling H.R. 872 - the Reducing Regulatory Burdens Act - into this version of the Farm Bill. That measured passed the House in 2011 by a 292-130 margin, and was written in response to a court decision - called "erroneous" in the Committee summary document - that allowed the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to require permits for crop protection product use under the Clean Water Act. It's a contentious issue.
The provision in the House version of the Farm Bill includes a number of other provisions including limits on EPA in cancelling pesticide registrations based on Biological Opinions of the National Marine Fisheries Service or the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service until independent scientific review is conducted. There are lawsuits pushing EPA to cancel registrations based on the Biological Opinions.
The measure would also streamline biotech regulation which, in essence, reiterates that the sole and exclusive authority of the Ag Secretary to regulate biotech products under the Plant Protection Act is limited to evaluate to plant pest risk, while authorizing the conduct of a targeted and transparent environmental review. Procedural lawsuits have slowed the approval process, this bill would push the tech through.
And this regulatory burdens reduction effort would also reauthorize the Pesticide Registration Improvement Act. It would be the third reauthorization of the Act and represents a multi-year effort to enhance the pesticide approval process. It involves manufacturers, non-governmental organizations and EPA in the process.

Teacher with the Right Stuff
I am a huge fan of the Space Program. When I was younger I would follow all of the Apollo Moon Missions with great excitement that has never gone away. Last July 4th, I got to watch a Shuttle launch from Walt Disney World and consider it one of the greatest experiences of my life.
Idaho teacher Barbara Morgan got to do something I can only dream of when she lifted off on the Space Shuttle Endeavour yesterday for a two-week mission to the International Space Station. Morgan was Christa McAuliffe's backup when NASA decided to put a teacher in space. Unfortunately, McAuliffe was killed when the Space Shuttle Challenger exploded moments after lift off. Morgan stepped in and fulfilled McAuliffe's mission in discussing space exploration to students then she went back into teaching.
In 1998, Morgan returned to the Astronaut program full time and now is getting her turn as a Mission Specialist charged with helping build the International Space Station. Morgan will also do some educational activities during the mission which teachers and students can participate in. I wish you Godspeed Barbara Morgan on your mission and a safe return to tell us about the adventure of a lifetime.

Laughing Lab Scottish Ale has won more medals at the Great American Beer Festival than any other Colorado beer. But when the inspiration for the name passed away in 2010 — Camden, a 16-year-old yellow Labrador retriever — it wasn't all the acquired hardware that drew dozens to the couple's neighborhood brewery in support.
They came because, as cliché as it sounds, a real community has built up around the cramped tap room in Bristol Brewing Company, a place as inspirational to the yogic- and cycling-minded as it is to the dude who just likes craft.
"I was brewing some beer with a friend last night and the brew supply store forgot to send us the bittering hops so what did I do?" asks a November 2012 Facebook post from Ryan O'Harra. "I went down to Bristol Brewing Company and asked one of their bad ass brewers if I could have a cup of bittering hops, of course he helped out."
They came because Mike and Amanda Bristol kept inviting them — to Buses at the Brewery, and the Repeal of Prohibition fest, and the open party held the first night Ivywild School was officially acquired — and because the couple has never stopped giving back to them. Few events in the city don't feature beer gifted by BBC, and the brewery donates labor, costs and all proceeds from three different beers to nonprofits like the Friends of Cheyenne Cañon. It even hosts a Karma Hour where a dollar from every pint sold goes to that week's chosen nonprofit.
People notice that stuff.
"If we expected Colorado Springs to support what we were doing, we had a responsibility to support Colorado Springs," Mike Bristol says. And that mutual support society stands to flourish in a space that's come a long way since it was two classrooms.
Bristol's centralized modern bar combines the intimacy of the original location across the street — long, skinny community tables and all, though infinitely better space management for those only seeking growler refills — with restaurant-style seating and service. And it's all backed by a brand-new brewing system, built in Germany, that has the potential to quadruple brewing capacity. You can even see some of the just-milled grain travel into the brewhouse through a clear tube running across the open ceiling.
"It's a big step," Bristol says. "I can tell you that we launched the entire company in 1994 with $190,000. And just the equipment going into this building new, not counting the tanks we're taking over, is over a million bucks. And that's just the equipment; that doesn't include the bar or the other fancy stuff. So, it's definitely a different level.
"In 1994, I was 29 years old. I had no kids, I had no [nothing]. If we failed, I got another job, and that was the downside. Now, there's a lot to lose," continues the Colorado native with a laugh, before adding more soberly: "There's a lot more to lose now."
Part of it has to do with the 35 employees depending on the new venture to succeed, around 10 more than at the previous Tejon Street location. And part of it has to do with all that tall, gleaming steel on display through the big tasting-room windows.
The cutting-edge equipment was built to order by Bavarian company BrauKon, which is also designing and manufacturing brewhouses for Fort Collins' Odell Brewing Co., and Rockyard American Grill and Brewing Co., in Castle Rock, among other notables. The as-automated-as-you'd-like system creates three important efficiencies, says Bristol: in labor, energy and raw materials.
"Before these guys ever specced the equipment, we had conversations about, 'What styles of beers do you brew?'" says Bristol, adding that, for example, the company talked about using different gear-ratios in the lager tun based on the beer being brewed in it. "Stuff that, quite frankly, I hadn't even really thought that much about."
The nerdy upgrades include mechanized mash turners; pumps to suck out spent grain; a heat-recovery system that captures so much otherwise-lost hot-water vapor that it's piped to the bar's sinks; a chilling system that uses fans to automatically pull air from outside if it's cold enough; a filtered, four-roller machine that results in more evenly ground grain; and a doubled-up wort pump that reduces boil times by 20 minutes. On top of all that, almost all of it is controlled through a large, rectangular touchscreen connected via Internet back to BrauKon, so the company can see problems in real time.
"I would say when this thing is done, this will probably be the trickest 34-barrel brewhouse that I know of in this country," says Bristol with a mix of pride and glee.
This is all on top of a new barrel-aging room; basement cold-storage space excavated by hand; and a big, refrigerated warehouse dug into the hill behind the school that reduces cooling needs by 25 percent.
With all these new toys, it's hard to get Bristol to look back. He'll acknowledge "a little nostalgia" associated with, say, the company's mash tun and kettle — he's used it since starting the company on Forge Road 20 years ago — then quickly mention a plan to sell it. But in this old space made new, across the street from the former, in this mix of the past and the future, it only feels fitting that the first beer brewed on the new equipment was Laughing Lab.

When President Donald Trump rolled out his now-stalled travel ban a few weeks ago, high-ranking Democrats took pride in helping travelers enter the country after they were initially denied entry because of the executive order.
Now, it appears that in at least one case the Democrats' political meddling has resulted in a tragedy. Indian snowshoe champion Tanveer Hussain, whom Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., personally helped into the country, has been arrested for sexually assaulting a minor, The Washington Post reported.
Hussain had initially been denied entry into the country, but after Schumer and fellow Sen. Kristen Gillibrand, another New York Democrat, personally intervened, the U.S. Embassy in New Delhi, India, allowed Hussain to enter the United States.
As of Saturday morning, the reason for Hussain being denied entry is still unclear as India was not one of the seven countries on the original travel ban. The embassy in New Delhi has insisted that his denial was not connected to the executive order.
Once in the United States, police allege that Hussain inappropriately touched a minor at Saranac Lake Village while she was playing at the pool, Fox News reported.
"There was a moment when the two were alone, and that's when the incident occurred," Police Chief Charles A. Potthast Jr. told reporters.
The 12-year-old girl allegedly claimed that Hussain engaged in a "passionate kiss" with her, as well as touched an "intimate area."
The Adirondack Daily Enterprise noted that Hussain got a "rock star" welcome once he was allowed into the United States. I don't think anyone will be giving him much of a welcome anymore.
If Schumer and Gillinbrand hadn't stuck their noses where they didn't belong, none of this would have happened. Once again Democrats had to try to "fix" a situation, only to end up making it 10 times worse.
Of course the liberal media will never make a big deal out of this story. They're too busy speculating about Russian conspiracy theories (with no proof) to actually report on a real American who was assaulted because of actions taken by "fake tears" Chuck Schumer.

A large proportion of investment activities associated with the Belt and Road Initiative have been spearheaded by the private sector, and the trend will continue, said a top former central bank official.
Zhou Xiaochuan, president of the China Society for Finance and Banking and the former governor of the People's Bank of China, the central bank, said during the recent CIC Forum 2018 that non-governmental capital accounted for the bulk of funding for BRI-related projects.
"Most of the future opportunities for the BRI will come from non-governmental business cooperation, and we must take business sustainability into consideration when seeking funding for BRI projects," said Zhou.
In respect of debt financing for BRI projects, commercial financial institutions offered more than half of the funding. As for development finance institutions and policy banks, they provided financing for the projects at the market transaction cost, rather than a low, public finance cost. Government capital only contributed a small part of the total funding, according to Zhou.
"While implementing BRI-related infrastructure construction projects, it is very important to set a target for a reasonable rate of return and introduce management approaches which adopt market principles to improve the return on investment by charging the users.
"We will also strengthen international cooperation and innovate the measures for international financing of BRI projects," he said.
Zhou made the remarks at the forum held by China Investment Corporation in Beijing recently. The theme of the forum this year was "international industrial cooperation and bilateral cross-border investment", an innovative approach to implement strategies for foreign investment in line with China's needs for further opening up, said Tu Guangshao, vice-chairman and president of CIC.
"Economic globalization is an irreversible trend, despite the recent challenges and setbacks. Therefore, promoting global economic, trading and investment cooperation is a common responsibility for all of us," Tu said.
The purpose of the forum, according to him, was to build a platform to bridge cross-border bilateral investment, create a cross-border investment ecosystem, promote international industrial cooperation, and build a cooperation platform for Chinese enterprises to go out and bring in overseas capital.
As China's sovereign wealth fund, CIC has adhered to the philosophy of win-win cooperation as a responsible, long-term investor, he said.
During the first China-Japan Third-Party Market Cooperation Forum on Oct 26, CIC and five Japanese financial institutions jointly signed a Memorandum of Understanding for Strategic Cooperation to establish a China-Japan industrial cooperation fund.
CIC is also preparing for the establishment of other bilateral funds, with the aim of achieving win-win cooperation with the principles of co-sponsorship, joint management, complementarity and commercial viability, he said.
During a panel discussion about the establishment of a cross-border investment ecosystem at the forum, Jiao Zhen, CEO and founding partner of CDH Investments, said one of the most important ways for companies to grow their business is mergers and acquisitions.
"For a company to become internationally competitive, the question is not whether or not to expand its business overseas through M&As, but when to make the move," said Jiao.

Sparsholt, Holy Cross Church
History, tourist information, and nearby accommodation
HERITAGE HIGHLIGHTS: Three wooden effigies dating to the 14th century
That wooden Saxon church was rebuilt in stone some time in the 12th century. The tower and lowest sections of the nave survive from the 12th century building, but much of the rest is from a comprehensive rebuilding in the late 13th and early 14th century. Another 12th century survivor may be the north door, which boasts lovely iron strapwork and an original sanctuary ring. In medieval times an accused criminal who reached the sanctuary ring was free from prosecution for a period of time (often 40 days).
There is another decorated 14th century niche on the opposite wall from the founder's tomb which may have been used as an Easter Sepulchre. There is also a very attractively carved three-seat sedilia with ballflower decoration, which forms a unit with a piscina in the south chancel wall. Near the sepulchre is a late 15th century brass to Thomas Bathe with his two children, and near the sedilia is a further brass to John Fettiplace (d. 1602). here are brass inscriptions to four vicars of the parish; Thomas Todhunter (d. 1627), John Williamson (d. 1633), Richard Edmondson (d. 1674), and Nicholas Cook (d. 1603).
If the Sparsholt Effigies seem dim and dingy in the ill-lit transept, there is a solution; modern light switches can be found just to the right of the transept entrance. I only wish I'd found them before I spent ten minutes trying to photograph the effigies in semi-darkness!
Stained Glass
The three south windows in the nave and the north window above the door contain fragments of medieval glass. The glass in the north window dates to about 1500. The left-most light in this window shows a female kneeling at a prayer desk, with a worn figure of St Catherine above. The centre light is less distinct, but shows a dragon of St Margaret over a female donor. The right light shows Latin lettering from a motto attributed to Cardinal Wolsey; 'The Lord is my shepherd'. This suggets that the glass was originally in the Hall of Wolsey's Christ Church College, Oxford, and was removed from the College by Henry VIII after Wolsey's fall from favour. The windows of the south wall have earlier glass, perhaps 14th century, with Christ in Majesty and arms of the Delamere and Achard families. There are small sections of 13th century grisaiiles glass (painted rather than stained). Even the plain glass is of medieval origin. One amusing bit of rhyming grafitti on the glass says 'Joseph Tuff cleaned some of these windows and that's enough'.
Summing up Sparsholt Church
A treasure trove of medieval brasses and memorials, Holy Cross is well worth a special trip to see. The Sparsholt Effigies and their elaborate tombs are quite exceptional. One of the best country churches in Oxfordshire.

"Born to Run" is written by Bruce Springsteen. The genre of 'Born to Run' is Arts, Photography and Music. Bruce had singed up for the Songwriters Hall of Fame, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and the New Jersey Hall of Fame. He has also received 20 Grammy Awards, the Kennedy Center Honors, and the Academy Award. 'Born to Run' is a memoir. When Bruce and E Street Band, performed, in 2009, at the Super Bowl's halftime show, the experience of the show was so amazing on Bruce that he decided to give words to his this wonderful experience. This is the big reason behind the beginning of this extra ordinary journey. Bruce has spent about seven years to write about himself and his journey.

He has written his story with same truthfulness, creativity, freshness and humor as his songs are. Bruce said that he came from a pathway town where nearly everything is imbued with a little of trickery. He was grown up as Catholic, in Freehold, New Jersey. Here he was surrounded by poetry, risk, and dark which give energy to his imaginations and he wrote such wonderful songs. When he saw 'Elvis Presley's' debut on The Ed Sullivan Show, he mentioned it as 'The Big Bang'. In his book he strongly tells about his never ending urge to become a musician. He also wrote about His days when he was a bar band king in Asbury Park and how the E Street Band came into existence. In 'born to Run', Bruce first time reveals his personal experiences and struggles which motivates him to give his best and he did it. After reading his book, we will reveals the meanings of his songs more deeply. The memoir is written with lyricism.

Many large telescopes now employ adaptive optics on either their primary or secondary elements to counter the effects of constantly changing atmospheric conditions. The actuators for the adaptive system are typically piezo elements attached to the back of flexible elements. Measuring adaptive optics to understand how they respond to changes in their controlling actuators is critical to excellent performance.
In the past, to measure the modal response of adaptive optics to changes in the actuators, sensors have been used to measure movement at individual points on an optic—a slow, low-resolution solution.
4D dynamic laser interferometers measure nearly instantaneously, so they can image adaptive optics as they are actuated, and verify and calibrate the response of the actuators. Dynamic interferometers show the 3D response of the entire optic, providing a complete image of control system performance.
4Sight analysis software, included with all 4D interferometers, offers a modal analysis option which allows engineers to view the mirror response in real-time and to adjust the adaptive optic system accordingly.
4D PhaseCam Twyman-Green interferometers are the industry choice for measuring concave spherical optics, from several millimeters to tens of meters in diameter.
4D dynamic interferometers and optical surface profiles provide accurate metrology throughout the Microelectromechanical Systems manufacturing process. Measure flatness and roughness of wafers, and measure the shape and shape change of wafer-level devices (such as microfluidics) and diced and packaged devices (such as micromirror arrays).
The SpeckleCam Electronic Speckle Pattern Interferometer (ESPI) measures the change in shape of structures with diffuse surfaces up to several meters in diameter. Rapid data acquisition permits accurate testing and quality control on the production floor, without the need for costly vibration isolation hardware.
With the ESPI, a baseline measurement is made, then subsequent measurements are compared to it, to determine deformation. Measurements can be made synchronously or asynchronously with respect to object motion. For measurement of vibrational deformation, synchronous capture can examine changes over a wide frequency and phase spectrum.

"It couldn't be better!
"It couldn't be better! She absolutely plays like a brand-new guitar, and I haven't stopped playing since I got back.
Thanks so much for a perfect setup. It was nice meeting you, and I'll likely be by again soon for some more stuff". Taylor E.

Ampthill travel to the birthplace of community club rugby this weekend for their National One league fixture against Blackheath RFC, who were founded in 1858 and are the oldest 'open' rugby club in the world, open for any member of the public to join.
The A's go into the game second in the table having played two thirds of their 30-game season, as they are ahead of former Championship-sides Plymouth and Birmingham Moseley in the standings.
Director of rugby Mark Lavery said: "They've a fantastic set up down there. The facilities are excellent, the pitch is perfect, and they know how to beat Ampthill; neither our firsts or our seconds have ever beaten them and they're rightly favourites to win on Saturday.
"That said, they've lost a couple on the bounce and we're on a nice little run, we're beginning to go okay."
There's a few adjustments for Ampthill in front; Matt Beasley [loosehead] and Reece Marshall [hooker], both on loan from Northampton, start on the front row former Tongan international Aleki Lutui [tighthead].
Mike Howard, on loan from Bedford, joins Paino Hehea in the second row, with Joe Bercis [openside], Matt Burke [blindside] and Maama Molitika [8] completing the A's pack.
With duel-registered Saints scrum half Alex Mitchell away on England U20 duty, Ben Calder steps in at 9, partnering Joe Tarrant [10] at half-back; Steff Jones [12] and Sam Hanks [13] are paired in the centre with Sam Baker [11], Jonny Morgan [14] and Karim Lynch [15] completing Ampthill's starting XV.

No matter the age, a mother has the strongest impact on her children than any other person.
The love and devotion she shows them teaches her child to love others. The respect she shows, teaches them the power of respect and how to earn it. Watching her work hard at everything she does whether it be a job outside the home or taking care of the house and family, teaches them that hard work pays off. The kindness she shows teaches them to always be kind to others.
My mother has stood behind me through everything. Every mistake, every disappointment, every achievement, and every triumph. She shared in my happiness and shared in my sorrow. When I graduated college, she felt an achievement too. She cried in happiness at my wedding because she knew I had found the person I was meant to be with, the man that would care for me and build a family with me.
Everything I am is because of her. I know she thinks she wasn't perfect, but to me she will always be the perfect mother- the mom I strive to be every day. It was not until I became a mother that I realized how much she did for us every day. I realized the sacrifices she made so that we would always have everything we needed to thrive.
So on Mother's Day I want to share with all of the mommies, even if it doesn't seem like your child appreciates you now, one day they will look back and see how lucky they were to have a mom like you. Even if you feel like you are failing at parenthood, you are perfect to your precious babies and one day they will strive to be the parent that you are. They are the way they are because of you. Their successes are yours to share in because you have brought them there.
Thank you to all the mom's out there because you have created a miracle, another person on this Earth that will show love and kindness to others. That will make this world a better place.
If this post touched your heart please like or share. And feel free to make my day by leaving your favorite story of your Mom or being a Mom yourself.

Personal Injury
CSR Ltd. v. Link, 925 S.W.2d 591 (Tex. 1996). (Specific Personal Jurisdiction; Mandamus Relief from Denial of a Special Appearance)
The court lacks specific personal jurisdiction over an out-of-state defendant who sold a product out-of-state even though the seller knew that the buyer had operations in the state and the product may end up in the state. While foreseeability is a factor to consider, foreseeability alone does not amount to "purposeful availment." Mandamus relief from a denial of a special appearance is appropriate when the potential for mass tort litigation makes ordinary appeal inadequate. The court will consider the most efficient use of state judicial resources and the risk for mass-tort actions against the defendant.
Diving, Inc. v. Doo-Pie, Inc., No. Civ. A. H-02-0293, 2002 WL 1163627 (S.D. Tex. May 30, 2002). (Specific Personal Jurisdiction; Venue)
Specific personal jurisdiction over an out-of-state company based solely on communications in connection with a contract may be proper where the company initiates some communications with the in-state party, and those communications assert the material misrepresentations which partially give rise to the cause of action. Jurisdiction may be proper even when the company has no offices, representatives, agents, property, or bank accounts, provides no labor, and manufactures no product within the state. When the work performed that gives rise to a cause of action is performed out of state, this does not defeat the deference for the plaintiff's choice of venue when both parties have witnesses in both states, and have their books and records in their respective states.
Jeffries v. Thermo Fisher Scientific, No. Civ.A.1:07CV-192-JHM, 2009 WL 3807103 (W.D. Ky. Nov. 12, 2009) (mem. op.). (Wrongful Death; Statute of Limitations)
The statute of limitations on a wrongful death claim begins to run when the injury is or should have been discovered and not when the plaintiff learns the identity of the wrong doers.
Keene Corp. v. Belford, 881 S.W.2d 608 (Tex. App.—Corpus Christi 1994, no writ). (Marketing Defect; Adverse Jury Finding)
A jury finding that no warning defect existed is not against the great weight and preponderance of the evidence when, although witnesses testify they never saw a warning label, plaintiff presents no affirmative evidence showing that no warning label existed.
Mansfield v. Fisher Scientific Co., LLC, No. 02-6163-TC, 2004 WL 816862 (D. Or. Mar. 04, 2004) (not designated for publication). (Causation)
If a plaintiff's medical expert, after making a diagnosis, cannot unequivocally exclude other potential causes for plaintiff's symptoms because there is no "test" to confirm the diagnosis, this does not inherently fail to show medical causation for the purpose of summary judgment.
Potharaju v. Jaising Mar., Ltd., 193 F. Supp. 2d 913 (E.D. Tex. 2002). (Negligence; Duty of Care)
The duty owed by a security company depends solely on the terms of the contractual agreement with its employer. Therefore, regardless of any duty owed by its employer, a security company does not owe invitees any duty unless its contract creates one. A security company does not assume any duty of care to invitees simply by providing security services for a property owner. A security officer must peform an affirmative act in order to assume a duty of care to an invitee.
Srite v. Owens-Illinois, Inc., 870 S.W.2d 556 (Tex. App.—Houston [1st Dist.] 1993, writ granted). (Zero Past Damages; Prejudgment Interest)
A jury's award of zero past damages is not against the great weight and preponderance of the evidence when: plaintiffs' testimony primarily expressed subjective indicia of their injuries; any objective evidence of plaintiffs' injuries is obtained from expert witness' testimony, and testimony by plaintiffs' experts, and defendants' experts conflict to the extent that none of the experts' testimony is conclusive. Prejudgment interest accrues "on wrongful death and non-death personal injury cases from a date six months after the occurrence of the incident giving rise to the cause of action." In exposure cases, as it is not possible to determine which exposure caused the disease, the use of the last exposure date as the "incident giving rise to the cause of action" comports with this rationale. Reversed in Owens-Illinois, Inc. v. Estate of Burt, 297 S.W.2d 765 (Tex. 1995).

What is Accrued Income
Accrued income is earned but has yet to be received. Mutual funds or other pooled assets that accumulate income over a period of time but only pay out to shareholders once a year are by definition accruing their income. Individual companies can also accrue income without actually receiving it, which is the basis of the accrual accounting system.
Accrued Income
BREAKING DOWN Accrued Income
The income that an employee earns is accrued over a period of time. At the end of the pay cycle, the employee is paid and the accrued amount returns to zero. Many employees are paid every two weeks; they do not get paid at the end of each work day. If they leave the company, they are paid for that day of pay because it is earned, but it has not been paid out yet.
Accrual Accounting
Most companies use accrual accounting. It is the alternative to a cash accounting system, and a necessary system for companies that sell products to customers on credit. Accrual accounting is based on an accounting convention that seeks to match expenses and sales to the period when they occurred. Just because money has not been received or billed does not mean it has not been earned. Also referred to as accrued revenue, accrued income is often used in the services industry or cases in which customers are charged an hourly rate for work that will be billed in a future accounting period.
Accrual Income Example
For example, assume company A picks up trash for local communities, and bills customers at the end of every six-month cycle. Even though company A does not receive payment for six months, the company still records the payment as a debit to accounts receivable. The bill has not been sent out, but the work has been performed, and therefore revenue has been earned. If the company charges $2 million a month for this service, it accrues $2 million in revenue every month for six months, and bills the customer for $12 million every six months.
Accrued Income and Accrued Receivables
It is important to note the difference between accrued income and accrued receivables. Accrued income has not been billed. It is a receivable by definition, so it is listed as a receivable on the balance sheet, but the customer has not received the invoice. Once cash is received, the entry is reversed with a credit, and cash is debited for the amount of incoming cash.

A bikini wedding dress could be the next big thing after being presented at a fashion show in Germany this week.
Mail Online reported that the ensemble was designed by Kaviar Gauche and showcased at Berlin Fashion Week in amongst a wider selection of more conventional wedding dresses.
It is not the first time the fashion brand has hit the headlines through its shock tactics, as a few years ago it sent models out on the runway almost naked, bar a few strategically-placed accessories.
Whether or not people will see brides sporting the bikini at a wedding reception venue in the near future is unknown, with the news provider suggesting it may be the sort of thing Lady Gaga would wear to a ceremony.
"The mind-boggling garment looks to be made up of a few diminutive sections of fabric joined together with a central strip. The ensemble slips over a barely-there thong bikini brief, and the whole outfit is shrouded in a diaphanous veil," it explained.
Reporting on the wedding attire, toofab suggested the see-through bikini dress may be more appropriate for a honeymoon than the wedding itself.
The fashion commentator noted that Paris Fashion Week is generally regarded as the more avant-garde show, but Berlin Fashion Week makes a strong case for itself by presenting such intriguing designs.

Well, boredom strikes again. So I'm just gonna blabber to you guys about what I've been thinking. If u don't want to loose 2 mins of your life, don't read on.
You know, people judge and people are judged. Have you ever wondered how others saw you?
Would u change yourself to please them? Or just to make them happy?
Would u go the extra mile to make your enemies love you?
Well. I judge. Quite harshly really. My opinion can really change the way I act around a particular person or group. But really, I try my ultimate best to go against that feeling, and to actually communicate the people I don't want to hang out with.. And so, I push on and push on. Not saying I am some saint. But really, I try my best not to make that person feel 'unworthy' of my friendship.
Then, I realize that, that person doesn't really know and appreciate the amount of effort I actually put in. And so I go on this downward emotional spiral of self pity.
"Why do I even try"
So then I take refuge in the word. John 13:14
Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another's feet.
This verse probably explains itself. We have been put in this world to serve. Without exceptions. And if I complain, wouldn't that be going against what God has ordained?
Then I ought to make it right. To change myself, and the condition of my heart. To be more submissive and humble.
And so I encourage you guys to do the same too, to go ahead with your life as humble and submissive human beings as I try to do so too..
Thanks for reading. Sorry I'm not sorry that this post is more of a mummy lecture more than anything.
Peace out deuces.
