Moorpark, CA – Are you looking to buy a short sale? Before you make an offer, you need to check and see how competent the listing agent is at short sales.
The listing agent is the agent with the property for sale. They will usually be in charge of processing the short sale with the lender.
Get my Free, Step By Step Loan Modification Guide by clicking here.
If the listing agent is a genuine short sale expert and knows what they are doing, then you have a very good chance of the short sale being approved and buying the home. I'll show you how to separate the experts from the pretenders in this post.
If the agent is not a genuine short sale expert, then you are probably wasting your time. You should go find another home to buy.
First, ask them how many short sales they have successfully sold. If they have only sold 2-3 short sales, then the odds are not in your favor. You risk wasting months of time waiting for an answer on the short sale.
Next, ask them how many loans are on the property. If there is only 1 loan, then you know two things. First, they know what they are doing. Second, this is relatively simple short sale.
If there are two loans, then the property is still worth considering. However, if there are 3 or more loans, then you might want to look at another home. Short sales with 3 or more loans are very difficult.
The first mortgage won't give enough money to the second and third position mortgages. The second and third position mortgages won't release their lien without more money. At the end, everyone loses (that is another story for another day.)
Lastly, ask who the lenders are. If the lenders are Bank of America, or another notoriously bad lender at short sales, then you might want to avoid the property. However, a competent short sale agent can handle a Bank of America short sale with ease.

Important Notice
Chris B Johnson Realtor and the Stop Foreclosure Institute are not affiliated in any way, shape, or form with the government. Our services have not been reviewed or endorse by the government or your lender. Most lenders willingly work with agents on short sales. Why?
Because most short sales are beneficial to a lender. If you accept our offer to help you on a short sale, your lender may not agree to a short sale or to modify your loan. We do offer a loan modification kit.
However, the likelihood of negotiating a modification is like everything else in life. It takes work and persistence to convince your lender to modify your loan. No matter what you or we do, your lender may not approve a loan modification.
We do not recommend that you stop paying your mortgage, because this will cause damage to your credit and could cause you to lose your home. Because we know avoiding foreclosure is so important to any homeowner, we recommend that you speak with the appropriate legal or tax advisor before making any decision.
This is not intended as legal, technical, or tax advice. Please speak with a licensed professional before making any decision. Information is deemed reliable but not guaranteed as of the date of writing.
You have the option to reject a short sale or loan modification from your lender if it does not meet your approval. If you decide not to go thru with the short sale, then you do not have to pay us our fee. We normally make a real estate sales commission for helping you on a short sale.
The views expressed here are Johnson's personal views and do not reflect the views of Prudential California Realty.

South Korean smartphone manufacturer LG is currently working on the next flagship successor of the LG G7. But a new report suggests the OEM is also working on a device in its Q series called LG Q7. The smartphone has been recently spotted via LetsGoDigital in the database of Korean Intellectual Property after the company applied to trademark the name which hints the device launch is at the door. Very few information is available about specs and availability of the smartphone. So the best logical decision will be taking a second look at its predecessor LG Q6.
The LG Q6 was a mid-range segment smartphone, so it's safe to assume the Q7 will be placed in the same. The Q6 was the first smartphone in the Q series and launched back last year in July featuring a 5-inch display with 18:9 aspect ratio and a resolution of FHD+ (2160 x 1080 pixels). It was powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 435 chipset with two memory options: 2 GB RAM + 16 GB internal storage and 4 GB RAM + 64 GB internal storage.
LG launched another model in the Q series called the LG Q8 which featured an aspect ratio of 16:9 but had a higher resolution of 2560 x 1440 pixels. It also came with a more powerful chipset, Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 coupled with 4 GB RAM.
So the LG Q7 is supposed to fit between these two from a market perspective which is likely to be priced between 350 Euros (Rs 28,000 approx) 600 Euros (Rs 48,147 approx). But it will be interesting to see whether the Q7 will be more like the Q6 budget segment or the Q8 which aimed high-end specs at a medium price. If the company follows the previous launch schedule, we could be seeing the LG Q7 this summer.

I tried to germinate marijuana seeds when I was younger, and the results were very undesirable. Growing marijuana from seed is a long process, so you want to do it right and not waste valuable time.

Business objectives are half of a bigger process that begins with the imaginative and prescient and mission of your company and ends with particular targets, targets, and motion plans that aid you move your business forward. You may be becoming a member of the 150,000 Good Insights members from a hundred countries who belief our advice to Plan, Manage and Optimize their advertising. Many companies at the moment have a buyer focus (or market orientation). This suggests that the company focuses its activities and merchandise on consumer demands.
Time, security, freedom, contribution, and family are a few of the deeper and more profound causes we may set to help obtain our business goals. Do you might have deep and profound causes for wanting to achieve the business targets that you just set for yourself? I am not talking about superficial reasons. I am speaking about significant causes.
For instance, one among Becker's long-term targets is to maintain prices and overhead underneath management. When she noticed that she was paying over $1,000 a month for pay per click shade prints on her publishing firm's copier, she invested the time to figure out why the fees were so expensive. It turned out that employees have been needlessly printing out e-mails with blue hyperlinks in coloration, so Becker made it a precedence to reconfigure every pc to print in black and white by default.
Ask pleasantly. These effects might easily battle.
A brand new 12 months is upon us once more, and for these of us operating small businesses it is time to get cracking on our goals. SENSIBLE aim: Eliminate mistakes in buyer invoicing (particular), the key driver in long fee occasions (relevant), by new accounting system and clerical training (achievable), to be implemented over a 3-month term (time-sure); results to be tracked monthly to stay on monitor to goal (measurable).
Business targets are part of a larger course of that starts with the imaginative and prescient and mission of your organization and ends with specific goals, aims, and action plans that make it easier to transfer your business ahead. Create a performance-targeted culture: This goal can be used if your organization wants to vary its tradition to at least one that focuses more on performance management or incentives. This objective reveals up lots in authorities and nonprofit organizations.
They need to be practical and viable for your business.
A brand new yr is upon us again, and for these of us operating small businesses it is time to get cracking on our goals. Organizational objectives should be written to support actions that contribute to the group's ability to move forward – increasing revenues, lowering costs and improving the shopper experience. Smart aim setting takes objectives from imprecise wishes to properly-thought-out, calculated targets which might be reachable and driven by success of brief-term targets.
This web page incorporates the Program Competencies, Objectives and Aims for the Business Core, applicable to Accounting, Entrepreneurship, Finance, Management, and Advertising Majors. Innovation goals assist you to discover new methods to improve the following: the services or products that your organization provides, the way you market your organization, and the way you distribute and deliver what your organization sells.

A car driver who knocked down a woman in Woodlands on Dec 10 last year was sentenced to four weeks in jail and disqualified from driving all classes of vehicles for five years.
Technician and part-time Grab driver Mohammad Noor Jubri, 56, and his wife had been on their way to visit their daughter at about 12.49pm that day.
According to The Straits Times, the traffic light was green when Noor turned right from Woodlands Avenue 1 onto Woodlands Avenue 2.
However, he did not see that the green man was still flashing and collided into Chinese national Ma Changhua, 55.
Stomper AJ earlier reported seeing "a lot of blood" at the scene.
A video published by Lianhe Wanbao showed how the retiree was pushing an empty pram across the road when the car struck her.
Mdm Ma's daughter had been a few steps behind her, carrying her six-month-old son.
(Story continues below video)
The victim was unconscious when taken to Khoo Teck Puat Hospital and subsequently succumbed to her injuries at 4.07pm.
Noor pleaded guilty on Wednesday (Sep 12) to causing Madam Ma's death by driving negligently, reported ST.
An inspection of the rental car driven by Noor showed no evidence to suggest possible mechanical failure that may have contributed to the accident.
For causing death by a negligent act, Noor could have been jailed for up to two years and fined.

Apple may have won quite a few back to back court battles over patent infringement cases, but has had a "minor" setback in China. Ironically, the tech giant is accused of having infringed on the copyright of eight Chinese authors and two companies and has been ordered to pay 1.03 million yuan, or $165,000US, as fine for causing financial losses to the parties concerned.
The authors comprise of well known personalities such as Murong Xuecun, Li Chengpeng, and He Ma, whose works Apple has been accused of selling in large number via the official App store. The ruling was delivered by the Beijing Second Intermediate People's Court, though the amount Apple has been ordered to shore up is far less than the 11.9 million yuan or US$1.9 million that the authors sought.
There has been no immediate reaction available from Apple, as it is closed for the holidays. Also, this isn't the first time Apple has found itself in a legal tangle in China. A while ago, it got a taste of Chinese legal procedures for the use of term iPad itself, and now it's a new issue that the California based company will have to deal with.

Just like bridal fashion, groomswear suits go through different trends year upon year, with fabrics and styles constantly changing. This autumn, a top trend for grooms is to opt for wedding suits in classic tweed fabrics and cool chequered patterns.
Although tweed has been around for decades, it's set to stay as a groomswear fashion trend in 2018. With the number of untraditional brides and grooms rising, and choosing to host their weddings in alternative venues such as rustic barns or country gardens, a delightful tweed suit is proving a popular choice amongst quirky, creative and fashion-forward couples.
Going hand-in-hand with vintage, shabby-chic wedding themes, a tweed tuxedo is the perfect match. Opt for a three-piece suit and you can't go too far wrong- having a three-piece allows you to experiment with fabric and colour combinations to make your wedding day style reflective of your personality and unique to you.
If a full-on tweed suit is too over-the-top for you, mix and match by taking a traditional twist, and don a tweed bowtie or waistcoat under a normal suit jacket. This way you don't have to go the full haul, but can still be on trend by bringing a little tweed texture to your groomswear look!
Whether you want to mix wool suits with tweed ties, or wear contrasting trousers to a tweed jacket, opt for ties, bowties and pocket squares in rich jewel colours and matte tones such as emerald greens, regal purples or deep red for the ultimate autumnal country vibes. Great for creating a versatile look, grooms are loving this more relaxed yet timeless wedding day style!

Predicting recruitment fluctuations of fish populations remains the Holy Grail of fisheries science. While previous work has linked recruitment of reef fish to environmental variables including temperature, the demonstration of a robust relationship with productivity remains elusive. Despite decades of research, empirical evidence to support this critical link remains limited. Here we identify a consistent and strong relationship between recruitment of a temperate wrasse Coris julis, from temperate reefs in the mid-Atlantic region, with Chlorophyll, over contrasting scales, across multiple years. Additionally, we find that the correlation between Chlorophyll and recruitment is not simply masking a temperature-recruitment relationship. Understanding the potential mechanisms underlying recruitment variability, particularly as it relates to changing climate and ocean regimes, is a critical first step towards characterizing species' vulnerability to mismatches between pulsed planktonic production and early pelagic life stages.

University of Ottawa - Graduate School of Public and International Affairs
Course Description from the Syllabus: This course will explore the history and evolution of security and economic institutions of multilateral governance over the course of the twentieth century, continuing up to the present day. Different institutional forms, innovations, and ad hoc arrangements of international governance will be surveyed. The course will begin with an analysis of the nineteenth century balance of power system that prevailed during the period of competitive imperialisms prior to WWI. Collective security experiments will then be examined, beginning with the League of Nations that was designed to provide the basis for multilateral governance after the end of "the war to end all wars."
We shall then examine the way in which the collapse of the League of Nations contributed to the construction of the post WWII world order, with the United Nations emerging as the lead organization. Regional institutions and alliances as alternatives to universal membership organizations will also be examined. The debate about hegemonic stability and the consequences of American decline from hegemony will be considered, as a way to understand the emergence of international regimes as a basis of governance and the discussion of the challenges of cooperation under anarchy.
Finally, the course will explore more recent debates about the role of institutions after the end of the Cold War, the growing role of non-state actors and the emergence of private authority in global governance, as well as the significance of transnational advocacy networks in the contemporary international institutional landscape.
This course will provide students with an historicization of debates about multilateral governance and the changing role of international organizations over the course of the past century, illustrating the complexity of elements of different governance arrangements.
General Objectives: The objectives of the course include:

Pain-free Succession Planning
When you think of succession planning, does it make you cringe? Are the contentious arguments over whether an employee is in box 8 or 7…making you want to run for the hills? Do your managers only place people in the upper right hand corner of the 9 box because it's really hard to say someone doesn't have potential? When an incumbent leaves, do you activate someone on the bench or do your leaders say "I didn't agree to that?" Well that was Gap, Inc's experience… until now. Head of Talent Planning and Performance for Gap and HR Exchange LIVE: Talent Management speaker Rob Ollander-Krane discusses the company's new approach to succession planning and how it takes the pain out of succession planning.
If you want to know more hear more about this, Ollander-Krane is scheduled to speak during the HR Exchange LIVE: Talent Management online event. It's set for December 11-12, 2018. It's absolutely free to attend. And easy too. You sign up online, so no travel involved. In addition to Ollander-Krane, other great speakers are lined up including Larry Brand, the Chief Human Resources Officer for Elkay Manufacturing.

Epic's Fortnite Battle Royale is a free-to-play title that uses microtransactions to earn money for the developers. Mostly the in-game purchases are for cosmetic items, and these items may soon be giftable from one player to another.
In a recent tweet by @The1Jaren, it shows a button in the game's menu where gamers will be able to purchase items and gift them to their friends and other players. I know that many players would love this idea. However, we don't know what the extent of this gift giving will be. Probably all cosmetics that can be purchased in-game will be giftable, but whether or not this extends to Battle Passes we don't know yet. We also don't know if players will be able to gift other players V-bucks (Fortnite's in-game currency).
It looks like gifting will be limited to five items a day, which suggests that maybe the developers don't want the system to be abused or turned into a marketplace for third-party resellers. Epic has in the past touched on the topic of being able to gift friends items, and now it looks like that feature is going to happen for real. Since Fortnite is now cross-play supported across all platforms, gift giving makes more sense.
We will see what happens.

Episode three of Telltale Games' Guardians of the Galaxy promises players that they'll finally learn more about the mysterious Eternity Forge, the mysterious device that revived Star Lord earlier in the series. It feels almost like a conclusion of sorts, as it winds up answering many of the burning questions I had after the first episode. I'm no longer wondering where it came from and how it was manipulating the memories of the crew.
While many answers are given to the player early on, it also brings with it an important question. One that ends up being one of Telltale's finest moral dilemmas yet. If you could bring back a loved one, but had to kill someone else to do so, would you do it? That's the question that both the player and Peter Quill have to answer by the end of More Than A Feeling, and it's one that I struggled with.
The entire crew of the Milano (that ship name will never stop being funny to me) also struggle with the same question. Much of the second episode was spent learning of Rocket Raccoon's heartbreak, so it's only natural that he'd want to use the device to bring back Lylla. It also marks a new hope for Drax, who has struggled to find a reason for continuing on since finally avenging his family. At its core, though, these desires are selfish. To mend their own broken hearts, they'll have to cause pain and suffering to others. Is bringing loved ones back worth it if you have that blood on your hands?
Beyond the moral dilemma that encompasses More Than A Feeling, the episode also introduces a new character to Telltale's take on the comic universe. A woman named Mantis ends up being behind the distorted memories, and her psychic empathy carries over from other media. Being able to sense the feelings of others is shown to be an incredible burden early on, and it's shown early on that Mantis struggles to deal with the Guardians' infighting.
The inclusion of Mantis also brings in yet another hilarious dynamic to the cast of Guardians of the Galaxy. Her lack of social skills lead to some incredible moments. My favorite was when I decided to flirtingly introduce Peter as "Star Lord, baby," and then she ended up calling him "Star Lord Baby" for the rest of the episode. It was a small thing, but it made me laugh every single time it was uttered.
Her appearance also brings more flashbacks, which have been one of the season's strengths. In fact, the episode opens up with some eye-opening scenes detailing the pasts of both Gamora and Peter. I found myself personally impacted more by Peter's tale (maybe I can just relate more to knowing a loved one will die compared to being the daughter of an evil space tyrant), but both served their purpose of fleshing out the characters.
Guardians of the Galaxy Episode 3 Review – PSLS
More Than A Feeling
A lot of heavy themes are dealt within More Than A Feeling, but the series' signature humor still manages to play even while the squad is bickering with one another. I actually had to pause the game at one point since I was laughing so hard in response to Peter questioning if Rocket could actually understand Groot after Mantis revealed that he purposefully mistranslated what he was saying during an argument. Picturing Rocket just coming up with gibberish the entire time nearly left me in tears, and it's this sense of light-heartedness that really helps Guardians differentiate itself from the rest of Telltale's offerings.
I had a great time playing through episode three, but I do have to note that the combat scenes are growing a bit stale. Despite some excellent choreography, it still comes down to waiting to hit some button prompts. None of the gameplay variation seen in Batman: The Enemy Within appears here, and that makes the action seem like more of a middling affair. It's not a negative (as the scenes are still a ton of fun to watch unfold), but it's a missed opportunity.
Telltale's Guardians of the Galaxy has been circumventing my expectations ever since the crew killed Thanos in the very first episode, and that trend continued here. I really have no clue where the series will go next, and that leaves me excited. I'm more than happy to be along for the ride with Star Lord and his ragtag crew.

Table of Contents
Inductive Learning is a powerful strategy for helping students deepen their understanding of content and develop their inference and evidence-gathering skills. In an Inductive Learning lesson, students examine, group, and label specific "bits" of information to find patterns. For example, if given 20 specific weather-related terms (e.g., rain, sleet, snow, hygrometer, rain gauge, thermometer, humid, dry, windy, cold), students might group the terms into an initial set of categories labeled precipitation, weather instruments, and how weather feels. Inductive Learning does not stop at categorization, however; it also asks students to use their labeled groups to develop a set of working hypotheses about the content to come. Then, during the learning, students collect evidence to verify or refine each of their hypotheses.

Guy Ritchie, director of Snatch and most recently the soon to be released King Arthur: Legend of the Sword, is Disney's pick for their live-action adaptation of Aladdin. The 1992 Oscar winning film featuring the late great Robin Williams, is the latest from the Disney Vault to receive a live-action makeover.
Disney has seen massive success with their Jungle Book adaptation and naturally want to keep the ball rolling. They have plans to release a live-action version of Lion King, and Beauty and the Beast is just around the corner. There is even a Mulan film on track for a 2018 release.
How the Sherlock Holmes director will handle a property like Aladdin is anyone's guess, but Guy Ritchie is a talented man, so I'm optimistic. There is no release date or any other concrete news regarding Aladdin, such as who will play the genie Robin Williams made unforgettable.
How about you geeks, are you excited about all these classic animated Disney films receiving live-action remakes? Or, do you wish they just leave well enough alone? Let us know in the comments below, and stick with DHTG for more on this as it develops.

Ryan Smith wearing a shop apron from the now defunct Ho Sun Hing Printing that was located in Chinatown for 104 years
by Ryan Ming
Ryan Smith, Founder and Operator of Brick Press, presents on do-it-yourself publishing practices that are based on salvaging equipment from closing print shops at 1pm on Sunday, October 5 as part of the 2014 Vancouver Art/Book Fair. His participation in VA/BF is supported by The Keefer Bar.
Two years ago, in the summer of 2012, I met Smith at his installation project Ryry's Bodega. In this very small space Smith combined the consumerist sensibilities and aesthetics of an urban convenience store, replete with buckets of Costco candy, disposable lighters, zines and a functioning Risograph printer that he used to produce all manner of printed materials from live music event handbills to whatever passing customers requested a facsimile of. Fast forward two years , and I caught up with Smith to learn more about his practice of sourcing affordable print production/binding machinery and his publishing operation Brick Press.
Project Space: How did you come up with the name Brick Press?
Ryan Smith: I came up with the name Brick Press in 2012. I'd already amassed a small collection of printing equipment and needed a name to publish work under. At that time I was manning my conceptual installation Ryry's Bodega—an appropriation of a convenience/copy shop. I also was (and still am) working at Foundation restaurant and that's where I came up with the idea for the name Brick Press. I re-appropriated my logo from the bottom of a veggie bacon box—it is the packaging company's logo, a stack of cardboard boxes. It also looks like a 3D brick cube. I also associate bricks with graffiti—something I spent many years doing.
PS: How did it all start?
RS: Brick Press started during the aforementioned Ryry's installation. My interest in self-publishing began many years previous with my friend Adam. We made zines at Kinko's and we travelled with and traded them. After encountering Publication Studio in Portland in 2011, I saw the potential of collecting similar machines and making real "books." I then started (and still do) collecting various publishing machines on eBay, Craigslist and WireBids. In small steps I managed to acquire printers, binding machines, collators and a guillotine stack paper cutter—all of the basic machines needed to publish books from start to finish. I now work with my girlfriend Kelin on artist books and commercial printing with my cousin Jordan. We have many exciting plans together.

PS: What do you think makes Brick Press different than other art publishers?
RS: Not much besides me being me. That's personal and different. Really though, it's all of the other art publishers that I constantly look up to and take inspiration from. Publication Studio and many graffiti writers being my first influences. I guess the materials I acquire (machines/paper) are all a bit different. I buy a lot of uncommon, unserviceable, discontinued machines and paper stocks. I service all of the machines I operate myself too. But yeah, I'd like to say that we're not trying to be different, but rather to complement other art publishers. We also do some public speaking on independent publishing. Recently Brick Press led a one-hour talk on publishing in Garry Neill Kennedy and Cathy Busby's independent publishing class at the University of British Columbia, and we are speaking at this year's VA/BF.
Two of Brick Press' publications: Roots and Leaves by Richard Marxism and Proposals For A New Career by Patrick Cruz
PS: How many publications has Brick Press produced?
RS: Unofficially, a lot. Close to 100? Probably… I've had a keen interest in printed material and, for that matter, physical material for many years. Officially as Brick Press we have published five: Proposals for a New Career by Patrick Cruz, Roots and Leaves by Richard Marxism, LTD. EDTN. PRINCE by Adam Shiu-Yang Shaw, Away (a group video exhibition catalogue) and lastly a book I'm currently co-publishing with 221A: The Part Of No Part by Dan Starling. The first three titles mentioned were published by myself and Dave Pullmer, in cooporation with Sunset Terrace, during a publishing residency in Sunset Terrace's gallery space (2028 Clark Drive). In addition to all of this, Brick Press has printed books and other materials for many clients including Catriona Jefferies, UBC Belkin Gallery, Model, Sunset Terrace, Nü Sensae and others.
A wall full of examples of materials printed by Brick Press
PS: How big are the runs per edition?
RS: We focus on working with artists making books in small runs. Editions of 50 or 100. We may increase these edition numbers as demand grows, but will still stay small, keeping each exsisting copy of each book very special.
PS: What kind of feedback/reception have you had?
RS: Brick Press has received overwhelming support and the response has been amazing. It's really, really good. It makes us enjoy what we do a lot. Working with many local artists has spread our reach and we plan to expand our vision infinitely. There are many interesting artists and subjects worldwide we hope to cover.
Ryan Smith and Kelin Kaardal and one of their workhorse Risograph machines
PS: Where did you get your Risograph? Since they are discontinued, how do you find parts, ink, troubleshoot problems, etc?
RS: All of the machines I operate are from eBay, the street, Craigslist or WireBids (an online auction for closed-down print shops). The one I'm using now was given to me by Kurtis Wilson (thanks Kurtis!!). I research the deep web to find forums and message boards to troubleshoot problems and download service manuals. The internet is the #1 tool for just about everything, including parts and ink. I also amass broken equipment to salvage parts from.
A heavy duty guillotine/paper cutter
PS: Could you elaborate a little more on the project you're doing with 221A that you're finishing up as we speak?
RS: Brick Press is co-publishing a book with 221A and Dan Starling. It's called: The Part Of No Part. The book is a catalogue of sorts, concluding and documenting a series of exhibitions that took place in 2012 and 2013 at 221A, curated by Dan Starling. It features works by a number of selected artists. It's 146 pages, perfect bound, full colour with photos, text and essays—it's very exciting. The cover is a custom-designed font by Dan Starling in Federal Blue Riso ink printed on 80lb Crest, Antique Grey cover stock. The publication will be launched along with essay readings on July 17, 2014 at 221A.
PS: What can you tell me about the climate of Vancouver's artist publishing community from your viewpoint?
RS: It's great. There are many amazing artists self-publishing their works as well as some amazing bookstores and galleries that support what I think is a fantastic community of artist publishers. Artspeak, Publication Studio, Or Gallery, Unit/Pitt Projects, Charles H. Scott Gallery and READ Books, Project Space, Belkin Gallery, Presentation House and The Western Front, just to name a few, contribute greatly to local and non-local art book publishing and publishers.
PS: Do you have any favourite local artists, publishers or resources that you recommend ?
RS: Patrick Cruz, Sunset Terrace, Alex Heilbron, Justin Gradin—there are really too many others to name. The institutions I mentioned previously, as well as GNG Printing/my pal Luc. Everything else I haven't already mentioned is a trade secret. Haha.
PS: Where do you envision Brick Press heading in the future? One thing I learned at Print Ready's Print Waste event a month ago, was that zines can come in all sorts of formats (for example, a zine that turns into a paper airplane or zines that serve as vehicles for other sorts of media products like stickers or cassette tapes). Would Brick Press produce artisan graphic products like buttons, tote bags, etc?
RS: We like buttons and tote bags, but our focus is and always will be publications. However, the term publication may take many physical forms—which we will continue to experiment with and produce.
PS: Where can people purchase Brick Press publications?
RS: We sell our books at the Or Gallery, located at 555 Hamilton St., and Unit/Pitt Projects, located at 236 E. Pender St. Also, you can follow Brick Press on Instagram (@brickpress) and on Tumblr, as we are building a website and online store. They'll be online soon—keep your eyes peeled.

Defesa de Qualificação de Tese: Felipe Timbó Brito
Título: Differentially Private Release of Egocentric Networks with Opt-in and Opt-out Users
Data: 12/11/2019
Horário: 14:00h
Local: Sala de Seminários - Bloco 952
Egocentric networks are those focused on an individual and the people connected to it. By analyzing egocentric network data, researchers can better understand how an individual is connected to their neighbors and how strong their relations are. For example, analysts can make more informed decisions about marketing strategies by identifying the most influential people in egocentric networks. Some of these networks may contain data from individuals who either opt-in or opt-out of allowing access to certain private information. However, releasing egocentric network data for analysis and statistical purposes without sufficient anonymization effort can result in privacy leakage for opt-out individuals, since they did not opt-in for the use of personal information by data holders. In recent years, Differential Privacy has emerged as the standard privacy definition for releasing data. It has been applied to a wide range of data sets and applications to provide strong privacy guarantees. In this work, we study the problem of releasing egocentric networks with opt-in and opt-out users while satisfying differential privacy. We propose two approaches based on edge and node differential privacy to publish egocentric graph data. Preliminary experiment results show that our approaches produce useful and private egocentric networks.

How Can Veneers Help My Smile?
Porcelain veneers can give you the smile you've always wanted. Veneers are ultra-thin, custom-made shells that are placed over the front part of the teeth. Dr. Cecilia Gyllenhoff and Dr. Samuel Cappiello of Mclean Dental Care, which is located in McLean, VA, offer veneers to their patients. Read on to find out how veneers can help your smile.
1. Whiten Your Smile- Tobacco use, certain medications, and pigments from certain foods and beverages can cause stains on your teeth. Porcelain veneers can give you the bright-white smile you've always wanted. Unlike, tooth enamel, dental veneers resist stains remarkably well.
2. Close Tooth Gaps- A diastema is a gap between the teeth. This condition affects people of all ages. These spaces can form anywhere in the mouth. Porcelain veneers are routinely used to close gaps between teeth. These porcelain shells fit over the surface of your teeth to create an evenly-spaced smile.
3. Restore Chipped Teeth- Porcelain veneers are used to restore teeth that are chipped, cracked, or broken. They can cover them and restore their appearance and function. A porcelain veneer covers the front of the tooth with a thicker section to replace the broken part of the tooth.
4. Strengthen Teeth- Porcelain veneers are incredibly strong and durable. They provide strength comparable to tooth enamel. Veneers can protect and strengthen your worn-down teeth. This is possible due to the durable material that composes veneers as they cover your teeth.
Ready for a smile makeover? Start your journey today! Call Mclean Dental Care at (703) 734-0100 today to schedule a dental consultation in McLean, VA. Veneers have helped millions of people improve their smiles, boosting their self-esteem, and changing their lives. And they can do the same for you!

It is not returned.
You cry. You laugh. You scream.
You scream so loud and so long that is all starts to run together.
You fall. You bleed. You can't go on.
It is not returned.
You feel it in your bones. You feel it in your skin. You feel in your toes.
It is not returned.
The love.
The love you thought was certain.
This love you knew was yours.
This love you banked on.
This love you relied on.
This love. Your foundation.
Never to falter.
It is not returned.
You stop. You breathe.
You move on.

[ Author's Note : Here, I borrow the words of Maggie Mae. If you are sensitive to the topic of suicide please use caution if you decide to read this! ]
I lost count of the mornings
That I walked along the sidewalk
Looking toward the cars
Of normal people.
As they raced to work.
In their jobs.
In their normal lives.
Knowing none of them
Saw me at all.
Knowing none of them knew.
I was one
Of the walking dead.
That everything I'd been.
Everything I'd known.
Everything I'd cared about.
For 30 years.
Was gone.
Taken from me.
Ripped away.
By no one.
By an illness.
That had no name.
An illness
None of them
None of them
Wanted to understand.
Was my companion
On those walks.
Fueling fear
That nothing would ever
Be the same.
That I would never
Be whole again.
I lost count
Of the days I watched the cars.
And the trucks.
With the faces of the people
Inside them.
Putting on makeup.
Screaming at someone
On the phone.
Singing the words
To a song.
As they raced to work.
For another day
Of being normal.
Of being OK.
While I walked along.
Unable to escape
The reality
Of being broken.
In some way.
I lost count of the days
I wished I could just say, "Hi!"
To any one of them.
Even though I'd never met them
In my life.
That I could find someone
That would smile.
That would talk
With me.
But it never happened.
I walked alone.
Along the sidewalk.
Every morning.
My only companion.
By my side.
Whispering in my ear.
Telling me
I could end the hurt.
And end the pain.
That I felt
With ever step I took.
With every breath
In those days.
When I walked along the sidewalk,
Watching other people
Go to work.
Depression whispered
In my ear.
Day after day.
"Wait for a truck.
With 18 wheels.
Then turn to the right.
And take two steps.
That's all it will take.
And you'll be free.
The pain
Will go away."
May you never understand
The words I write today.
May you never hear the whisper
Of depression
In your ear.
It would have been so easy
To listen to the words
Depression spoke to me
Every single day.
"Turn to the right.
And take two steps.
And all the pain
Will just go away."
I'm still here.
Because I knew then.
As I've always know.
My pain might go away
If I surrender.
And end the pain
I live with.
But depression has no answer
To the question I asked it.
As I walked along.
Watching people go to work.
On so many days.
"Why would I do that?
And hurt so very much
My Lady?
And my children?
And the few people
That I call my friends?
Knowing all along
That I can make it through
The pain that I am in?
Why would I give up?
Why would I
Hurt them?"
It would have been
So very easy
To have gained sweet release
From the hurt.
And from the pain.
All I had to do
Was turn to the right.
And take two steps.
And I'd have never hurt

Fans of the local film scene may remember Martha Stephens' Passenger Pigeons (2010), which was produced and co-edited by Asheville filmmaker Joe Chang. Now — with co-writer-director Aaron Katz — she brings us Land Ho! — her first work from a mainstream distributor (Sony Pictures Classics). I don't know that it's exactly more ambitious than her earlier work — except for the fact that it mostly takes place in Iceland — but it's certainly slicker, and it probably has a broader appeal. It is, however, cut from the same cloth — not in the least because it's built around Stephens' cousin, Earl Lynn Nelson (apparently playing a kind of variation on himself), who has only ever appeared in her movies. Here, Nelson is paired with more seasoned Australian actor Paul Eenhoorn in what is essentially an odd couple road movie — the difference being that the road in this most venerable of American sub-genres is in Iceland, and our travelers are pushing at least 70. The results are an amiable, somewhat rambling film that's certainly not going to change your life but does provide a pleasing 95 minutes at the movies.
Since the genre requires it, the two men are pretty much polar opposites. Nelson plays Mitch, a retired, reasonably affluent, garrulous and somewhat crude surgeon. Eenhoorn is Colin, a much more reserved and proper retiree with money worries. The only connection between the two is the somewhat nebulous one of being ex-brothers-in-law. Mitch — the one with money — insists on bankrolling a trip to Iceland for them both. Mitch is also the kind of person who doesn't take no for an answer, so all of Colin's protestations are for nothing. (Of course, if he didn't cave in and go, there'd be no movie.) That's the setup, and it's pretty much the story when you get down to it, but what's done within those confines is what counts. And while nothing that happens is all that surprising, it becomes increasingly likable and trenchant as it progresses.
As things start off, Mitch is more tiresome than likable. The "shock" effect of his pot smoking and sexual references only carries the film so far. At first, it's much easier to like and identify with Colin, who is slightly embarrassed by his former brother-in-law. But as things go on, it becomes increasingly clear that most of Mitch's nonstop talk is a bluff and his outrageousness a kind of protective persona — that and using the excuse of age to say things he probably spent his life carefully not saying. Much like this week's other indie opener, The One I Love, there's perhaps too much talk. The difference is that the talk in Land Ho! is used to mask feelings and stave off reality, where in The One I Love the opposite is true. There's no doubt that The One I Love is by far the more adventurous film, but I'm not at all sure it's the more pertinent one. The films reflect two different sides of the indie coin.
Don't expect blinding revelations here. There aren't any. It's basically all about getting to know these two old duffers, who are far outside their comfort zones in the striking landscapes and utter foreignness of Iceland. Surprises are in short supply, too. The fact that Mitch ends up much less the ladies' man than his pose suggests is virtually a given — yet this doesn't keep Colin's encounter with a much younger Canadian hiker (Alice Olivia Clarke) from being wholly charming. And Mitch's reaction to it is refreshingly laid back. (It's also something of a slap in the face to the casual ageism of modern mainstream American film.) Is this a great film? No, it's hardly that, but, within its modest aims, it's a very good one. Rated R for some language, sexual references and drug use.

India has a tax-efficient contribution-based private system, where contributions to pension funds are not subject to tax unless they exceed certain limits.
Unless you work in the unorganised sector (like 88% of Indian workers), pension contributions are generally mandatory in India. However, Indian pension rules are not really harmonised and pension portability is not always easy to achieve.
According to the IMF, India's superannuation industry still has many structural reforms to undergo, as it identified a poor administration and an overly conservative investment policy, which is bad for the capital growth of your pension pot.
Voluntary salary sacrificing towards pension benefits is also widespread, at least to the extent that it is not made void by taxation of deemed fringe benefits.
India has taxpayer-funded benefits for senior citizens, and these are only designed to supplement the private system.
Superannuation in India
India grants tax relief in respect of contributions to a qualifying pension scheme. As a general rule, pension contributions must not exceed ₹1,00,000 or 27% of the employee's gross salary (whichever is lower). If you are a non-resident, only your Indian-source salary is taken into account. For more information on tax residence, see TAXATION – Overview of Tax Issues for Expats in India.
Pension contributions above the maximum allowable amounts are taxable (up to 30% plus surcharges), no matter if they are paid by you or your employer.
Once your funds are within the pension pot, the capital is allowed to grow tax-free. Of course, the pension pot is regulated by law and it needs to comply with certain rules. For instance you may be restricted from investing in certain assets, or from leveraging your investments to make them higher risk/higher return. Although these regulations are primarily designed to avoid hidden distributions, they may have non-negligible consequences from a financial point of view.
You can draw on your Indian superannuation only in the event of:
If you leave India, you may withdraw your Indian superannuation benefits to the extent that you retire permanently from the Indian workforce.
Mandatory system
Pension contributions have been made mandatory by the Employees' Provident Funds and Miscellaneous Provisions Act 1952. There are different mandatory pension schemes, including:
Generally, both the employee and the employer have to contribute towards superannuation benefits, but the rates may vary depending on the scheme.
If you happen not to have any social security coverage in India, it is strongly advisable to save money towards retirement for yourself.
Superannuation practical tips
First and foremost, you should view superannuation as a complex financial product on which you are charged fees to get the superannuation industry running. These fees may vary greatly from one superannuation product to another.
From a practical point of view, you should:
Be also wary of superannuation scams, as expatriates are easy targets for fraudsters.
Expatriates and Indian superannuation
Salary sacrificing may not be an advantageous option if you are an expatriate. This is because the tax benefits at contribution-level may be completely offset by higher tax charges at payout-level. You should seek professional advice to check how your Indian pension payouts may be taxed.
International matters
Social security agreements
India may have entered into a social security agreement with your home country. These agreements are primarily designed to avoid discrimination and double social security coverage. In addition, they may "totalise" your periods of contributions in India and in your home country. This is particularly helpful if your home country expects you to contribute for a long time (e.g. you must have contributed for 40 years to avoid a pension rebate).
A list of social security agreements concluded by India is available here.
International superannuation planning
Superannuation schemes are tax-efficient products in India. Thus, they are heavily regulated in order to avoid undue tax base erosion. The same fundamental principle is likely to apply to foreign equivalents. Thus, you should check:
Your home country may have a tax treaty with India to avoid double taxation on your foreign pensions. As a general rule, pension payouts are only taxable in your country of residence. That said, you should check your tax treaty to make sure you don't fall under an exception.
Retaining your foreign pension arrangements may be the most practical option if you don't intend to stay in India. Nevertheless, cross-border superannuation planning is always on a case-by-case basis. It is strongly recommended to seek professional advice regarding this matter.

Hurrah for Morgan Mill!
Morgan Mill School is off to a great start with 128 students, three new teachers, and a new pre-k class.
Just like last year, the fourth grade is the largest with twenty students and the new pre-k class has 11 students.
Two of the new teachers were Tarleton student teachers last year and one is an ex-Morgan Mill student. Keeton Coleman student taught the third grade last year and is now their teacher. She likes MM because it is small and everyone is treated like family.
Ashton Payne student taught sixth and second grades last year and is now teaching 6th grade Social Studies and computers. She is from a small town and feels close to the Morgan Mill kids and staff. Taylor Stricklin has been teaching for four years Special Education. A friend told her about the opening in Morgan Mill School and she is excited to be teaching in her old school. Her classroom in next to what she remembers as the old cafeteria.
Sometimes I choose a new student to Morgan Mill School to interview just to see how we measure up. This year it was Ireland Bailey, a seventh grader. She has been attending Flour Bluff School and she knows the history of how the school got its unique name. Ask her some time.
Last year she had 38 in her class, now she has 10. One thing that she likes about MM is the "Morgan Mill independence and freedom" that she is experiencing here. She is looking forward to being in the MM drill team.
Ireland is all smiles when she talks about her "now" school. She has already made a place by volunteering to make pancakes at the Community Breakfast. Ireland's mother is Angie Rasberry Bailey.
I asked Cecil Rasberry if he knew of any other Rasberrys attending MM. He said that he thought his two (Angie and Chad) were the last two. But he quickly added that there was a time when half the school was Rasberrys.
According to Gene Williams' book, Hurrah for Morgan Mill, the first Rasberry came to this area around 1917. The book listed four pages of Rasberrys. Ireland has a brother name Eion. He is in the sixth grade. We want to wish the best to both of these kids. Ireland said that it was like "coming back."
It is time for Arts and Crafts in Morgan Mill, Saturday, Sept. 9, from 9 until 4. Let's start the day with Waffle Breakfast at the Community Center at 7. This is always an exciting day to see friends coming in from all around to experience Morgan Mill. Be sure to buy your raffle ticket for one dollar to win the fantastic quilt donated by Debbie Lincoln. All of your favorite vendors will be at the Fair with all of their homemade crafts. The 4-H kids will, once again, be selling food for the lunch time meal. This is an important day in Morgan Mill for the kids. There will be scholarships financed, 4-H projects funded, and lots of Christmas presents bought for the future. See you at the Tabernacle.
An important date in September is the 26th. Morgan Mill ISD will be having a Chapter 41 election. I was not familiar with this part of the " Robin Hood" plan but I am now.

Tiffy's Stay in JapanRestaurant across the street from Nagoya City Museum
花茶 | Ka Tja Cafe and Dining
花茶 | Ka Tja Cafe and Dining
On my fifth day of my internship last term, we went to Nagoya City Museum and Nagoya Science Museum. After our trip to Nagoya City Museum, we ate at a restaurant across the street from the museum.
And their lunch set costs around ¥600. Pretty affordable.
The lunch came with stuffed meatloaf, rice, and soup. And the place is pretty quaint. It's small and cozy. It looks like a small house turned restaurant. The place can probably only serve 20 odd people at a time.
