May 19th (Day 20 after Dropship) — Cave; Forests outside of Coesbur
The depths of the Blood Fever were reaching their peak as the illness wrecked havoc throughout Tuan. The visiting of Britt and Arlin had been a welcome reprieve from the symptoms but within him, Tuan still felt and believed that somehow this Blood Fever was a price he was paying. It was just after the midway point of the fever when the heat within his body reached its peak, spiking past the points where his body could manage itself. Still recovering in many ways from the Sky flu, the immune system of the young man was compromised and as the fever rushed past his breaking point the delirium settled in.
"It is a penance, it is a humbling. Too much pride and I must be humbled." Every word from Tuan was rasped out between fits of coughing and blood that flowed almost freely from his mouth when he opened it. The attempts to wipe it clean by those that had tended to him were short lived as it would be replaced by another trickle that would grow into a dried river.
"This is not a penance Tuan, this is a sickness." The voice echoed quietly as the soothing hand ran over his shoulder. The voice was clear, so much clearer than others he had heard considering the state of his body and the hand on his shoulder felt cool. Like a winter breeze touching the burning skin. But what truly brought a shudder and sigh of relief was the recognition of whose voice it was.
"Mother?" Tuan sputtered out, a cough of blood following. "Mother… help me."
Arlin had warned that he would wish to be dead before it was over, that point had long since passed for Tuan. Buried, deep in his mind was perhaps the revelation that he was in fact dying, or even dead. A general acceptance of that had yet to settle in and he struggled mightily against the notion for some time prior to this. Yet now, now he was acquiescing to the possibility. Now that he could hear his long lost mother, feel her soothing touch on his shoulder.
"Mother… let me come to you. To the fields. I will even be glad to see Matthieu, I will be nice to him, I promise." The last, the thought of being nice to his brother causes a laugh to escape Tuan before it is replaced with a harsh gagging and splattering of blood from his lungs onto the ground followed by a rasping gasp for air.
"Why are you so selfish child?" The soft voice responded within his mind. "What of Ginia? What of Luka? What of Wantoppa? Do you think those of this world are so eager for you to leave them? That is how a child views the world. Selfishly. What they want. That is why you lay here like a pitiful creature, trying to reject those that come to you. Feel sorry for Tuan. He has to make tough choices." It is then that Tuan's mind has changed the tone of the voice, no longer his mother but his brother, Matthieu harshly criticizing him; always criticizing him.
"Nothing was ever right for you!" Tuan snaps out loudly towards the rocks of the cave, the energy of his anger causing his body to toss slightly to make the argument. "Because nothing you ever did was right." The mental retort comes to his own mind, again in the voice of Matthieu. "You are a child. Fit to what catches your attention. Full of excuses. You have never given Wantoppa your everything. You have never given MY wife and MY child your everything. How do you expect to be of value if you never give everything you have? Selfish."
"Father and mother just tried to make the world better for all of us. Who do you make the world better for?" Tuan's voice echoes now in his own ears as he mutters out loud. "And look where that got them? They are dead." This time the voice within Tuan's mind seems to echo all, like a chorus of everyone he's met. "When you wake you can go back to who you are. Or you can be washed by your own blood."
Washed by his own blood. The mere thought causes Tuan to try to laugh but nothing comes out. Within moments the parts of his mind that have not completely fallen to delirium have registered that nothing, particularly air, is coming in either. Gasping, clutching and thrashing begins as Tuan struggles to pull that most precious air into his body but the blood in his throat and lungs is preventing it. Blood colored eyes snap open with shock and alarm until he feels the tight arms about his chest and the breath of words in his ear.
"Get up. There is work to be done."
The squeeze about his body, a convulsion, does enough to dislodge what had clotted him enough to expel the backed up fluids. Like a dam breaking open over a constrained reservoir the blood within comes free before with gasping breaths the fever breaks, the peak of the mountain of disease being crossed over.
As the delirium of the fever starts to recede, Tuan finds himself speaking with weak voice. "Water…" He doesn't know who is there, but he trusts that someone is there. "Water please. And Wantoppa."
He could not see himself, there were no mirrors but were one to look at Tuan it would seem as if he had been dipped into a pool of his own blood, washed in it…

Peer pressure can be a powerful force, and sometimes a positive one.
For example, hanging out with active peers may lead kids to exercise more, making a child's social network a potential vehicle for promoting healthy habits and reducing obesity. That's what researchers led by Sabina Gesell, a research assistant professor in pediatrics at the Vanderbilt School of Medicine, and her colleagues are reporting in the journal Pediatrics. The scientists studied networks of friends in an after-school program involving students ages 5 to 12.
Using a pedometer-like device that recorded minute muscle movements, the researchers tracked kids' physical activity levels over a period of 12 weeks.

text: Just to warn you again, there might be spoilers in this thread, so if you haven't seen the movie yet, watch it first. What were your thoughts? Was it a satisfying end to the Breaking Bad saga? For me, that intro scene with Mike ohh that made me so happy and it also broke my heart, reminding me again of how the huge ego and poisoned rationality of Walt had him kill Mike, when he just simply could've gotten the list of names from Lydia. I for one, I'm totally satisfied. But watching the movie I didn't know whether to freaking hate or love Toddthat was complicated. That scene when their driving out in the desert to bury a body, Todd singing while driving... Wtf And that letter to Brock, that made it a great closure for me. And also I love how Vince managed to keep this project so secret up until the end. That was AWESOME! Must've been really complicated in this day and age.

Top brass commit £1m to CyanConnode £5.6m fundraise
Cambridge UK technology business CyanConnode is bidding to raise £5.6 million growth capital.
Directors John Cronin, Harry Berry, Heather Peacock and David Johns-Powell have already chipped in.
Broker FinnCap notes that senior management and the board have participated to the tune of £1 million and believe the new funds should provide the necessary working capital to reach cashflow breakeven under the current business plan.
The net proceeds will be used to fund future growth to include investment in research and development and working capital to execute on the company's order book, pipeline and growth plan.
The raise depends on shareholder approval at a general meeting in Cambridge on November 5. No fireworks are expected.
CyanConnode claims a world lead in narrowband radio frequency (RF) mesh networks that facilitate machine to machine (M2M) communication. Its technology uses the industrial, scientific, and medical radio band, (ISM), which is optimised to give exceptional performance and competitive total cost of ownership.
Through global partnerships, CyanConnode provides customers with a solution for the rapid deployment of local or countrywide ISM RF mesh networks that provide reliable and secure M2M communication.
During the first six months of 2018, CyanConnode improved its delivery processes which enabled it to achieve record first half revenue of £1,637,008.
The key contributors to the revenue growth were achieved from existing customer contracts in India, the Nordics and the UK. The company has also reduced its cash cost base to approximately £560,000 with effect from January 2019.

I just found out I didn't get a job that I interviewed for a week and a half go ago. WOMP WOMP. Apparently they "really liked me" (but not enough!). That's like going on a few dates with a guy and him being like, "You're super cool, but I'm not looking for anything right now." and then a week later he has a gf.
Ugh. I'm feeling so depressed. I was feeling really good about that interview and everything (my first mistake maybe?). I feel like I'm going to be stuck at my current job forever because I'm too dumb to be hired anywhere else apparently. And it's just making everything else harder since we're looking for a new apartment and I feel like I'm the one holding us back from good apartments because I make less.

"I promised your mother that I would protect you."
It's jarring to hear Wade (Arnold Schwarzenegger) deliver that line long after his daughter has been bitten by a zombie. Many of us were raised on stories that depict Arnold as the ultimate action hero, saving the day, if not the entire world, over and over again.
Well first off its not a sequel to 2012's Hunger Games. I normally wouldn't have to point that out at the beginning of a review but some people I've talked to and even some people at the screening for this film thought because it had 'Game' in the title they were from the same franchise.
A film like My Sister's Keeper is so difficult to review from a critical standpoint: it's not a film that loses itself in melodrama but rather a film that shamelessly aspires to be just that.

I was aware that this little peninsula utilising the beach and harbour was the number one place for expats and foreigners to holiday and live. So of course I had to have a look.
Getting an Uber there was quite affordable. It was way too far to walk given the current weather. It looked destined to be the hottest day I would see in Cartagena – up to 35 degrees.
First stop, Juan Valdez. There was a cute, touristy-looking trolley car parked outside.
Not my kind of thing to ride on, but cute to photograph.
Juan Valdez Coffee
I found this Juan Valdez to have the highest prices of all their outlets. Probably because of the expat location.
I noticed immediately the huge percentage of "whities". Quite a few had laptops too.
Luckily it was only 1 block to the beach.
I had heard mostly negative things about this beach – the harassment, the poor water quality, so I was interested to see if it was true.
Yes, it's true.
I think there are more "salespeople" on the beach than actual tourists.
They saw me coming. Within 1 minute I was offered fruit, water, a hat, a massage and drugs.
The offers are harmless, but ceaseless. I cannot imagine spending much time relaxing here. These locals are hardcore salespeople.
Still, the beach offered a nice view.
I decided to walk along the road back towards Old Town.
There seemed to be plenty of buses passing by.
The water was kind of brown, and it didn't appeal to me to swim. I think after growing up with the beaches in Australia, I'm ruined for life.
I was fascinated by the mix of buildings in the area.
I decided to cross over and see the view from the other side.
It felt a little bit like the Gold Coast in Australia.
I loved the colourful flowers.
I'm not sure why, but this play area reminded me of Terminator 2.
It was a great view back to Manga, and the port. The water also looked a bit cleaner on this side.
It was sooooo hot. Actually 35 degrees, so I opted for a ice cream cone from Maccas.
I then called an Uber back to the city.
Back at the Old Town the Uber driver got confused. He dropped me off in the middle of a film set. There were lots of caravans and caterers. I wasn't surprised a film crew was in Cartagena. I thought it must be used for lots of movies and local shows.
I walked back toward Getsemani.
A highlight of my day was watching a sloth shuffle around a tree in the park.
When I got home, I saw an interesting Instagram post. OMG. I learned that the film set I walked through was actually Netflix Narcos 3. I kicked myself. I wish I hadn't dismissed it so quickly. Very exciting to see the filming of season 3.

He will also visit Sydney, which in 2018 will stage the Prince's Invictus Games.
Prince Harry is to visit Singapore to stage a polo match in aid of his charity Sentebale and will also travel to Australia, Kensington Palace has said.
Harry will host the Singapore polo match in June in aid of his organisation based in Lesotho which provides support to African children living with HIV and Aids.
That month he will also visit Sydney, which in 2018 will stage the Prince's Invictus Games, a competition for injured servicemen and women and veterans from across the globe.
Kensington Palace said in a statement: "His Royal Highness Prince Henry of Wales will make visits to Singapore and Sydney in early June.
"Prince Harry will travel to Singapore to play in the Sentebale Royal Salute Polo Cup. Sentebale is a charity that Prince Harry and Prince Seeiso of Lesotho established in 2006 and is working to become the leading organisation in the provision of psycho-social support for children living with HIV in Southern Africa.
"In Sydney, Prince Harry will attend events to celebrate the city's hosting of the 2018 Invictus Games, the international sporting competition for wounded, injured and sick servicemen and women founded by the Prince in 2014."


text: Most Consumers contend that arbitration awards favor large corporations that insert arbitration clauses in consumer and employment agreements, in part because the Arbitration Organizations and arbitrators receive all their repeat business from the Corporations, not the consumers and employees. If the arbitrators ruled consistently in favor of the consumers and employees the Corporations would eliminate the arbitration clauses or use a different arbitration service. Once an arbitration award is issued however, even for an amount not allowed by law, it will normally be conformed as a judgment by the courts. The Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals recently affirmed a District Court judgment enforcing an arbitration award even though it awarded substantially more than allowed by the limit of liability clause in a construction contract. The Court ruled that mistakes of fact or law by the arbitrator are not grounds for vacating the award. Beumer Corp v ProEnergy Services, ( U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth CIrcuit, August 2018)

September 4, 2017: Educate
A well educated man stood upright on the long carpet before the Main Hall. He took a deep breathe, expanded his chest, took two steps forward past the high door and mechanically turned his frown upside down. He greeted Mr. Hanafi with a munificent embrace, partly to avoid making eye contact. He disliked Mr. Hanafi, and only Mr. Hanafi did not know. He proceeded to work the room in a routine fashion, until he met another man whom he had not seen in the Main Hall before.
This man, Watu is his name, is also a well educated man. He also stood upright. His shoulders were relaxed and his hands by his side. Watu wore an easy smile and a clean shave. The man greeted Watu with a bombastic hello, and Watu replied in humility. The man's smile was still an upside down frown, and it slowly reverted somewhere in between smile and frown as he began to engage with Watu. It was clear that Watu was just as educated as the man as their conversation dove deeper into similarities and differences of regional philosophic traditions, but it was not clear to the man why Watu held the public good in such high regard. To the man, an individual must work hard to grease the wheels and put himself on top, for the well being of him and his family. To Watu, an individual must work hard for the well being of him and his family, and fellow man. For without fellow man, Watu would merely be a human body who has not (yet) discovered fire.
Here they were – Watu and the man – standing in the Main Hall, exemplars of humanity. The educated: as rich and poor as society itself.

Citrus is a global digital advertising platform that enables retailers to monetise their online shelf space and suppliers to make more sales by better targeting their customers. Since it was established in January 2017, Citrus has attracted interest from forward-thinking clients in the US, Europe and Asia-Pacific to redefine the earnings potential of their online stores. To learn more about Citrus, visit https://www.citrusad.com/
Major retailers globally are deploying the Australian-developed Citrus eCommerce advertising platform to grab a greater share of the online advertising revenue dominated by companies such as Amazon, Google and Facebook.
Tier one retailers in the US, Latin America, Europe, Asia and Australia have launched the Citrus eCommerce ad platform, delivering extraordinary growth for an Australian tech company that launched the first retailers on its platform just 18 months ago.
Brisbane-based Citrus https://www.citrusad.com/ has won business from leading international retailers such as online supermarket Ocado in the UK, global retail media sales & technology company Triad, technology distributor TechData in Europe and a leading Asian online fashion retailer. Citrus is working with 20 major retailers in 11 countries and across seven different industry verticals accounting for over 1.3bn page views per month.
Citrus has also continued its success in Australia by deploying its retailer advertising platform for national supermarket group Coles.
Citrus CEO Brad Moran said Citrus equipped eCommerce retailers with the technology to challenge US tech companies such as Amazon, Facebook and Google that have dominated the online advertising space to date. "Citrus is an eCommerce advertising platform designed from day one to empower retailers with the most targeted digital advertising system in the world for their suppliers, both big and small, to utilise," he said.
Brisbane-based technology company Citrus is winning both global and tier one Australian retailers such as Dan Murphy's to its online advertising platform which boosts web sales and keeps revenues in the local economy.
Led by CEO Brad Moran, Citrus provides online retailers and their suppliers a digital advertising tool similar in nature to Amazon's advertising network that increases product sales from websites while retaining advertising revenues within the Australian retail ecosystem rather than losing it offshore.
Citrus equips retailers to create a new revenue stream and monetise their digital real estate by allowing suppliers to target customers by bidding in a live auction for prime product positioning and banner advertising on retail websites. The innovative Citrus real-time relevancy engine gives consumers a more personalised shopping experience by letting suppliers more accurately predict and satisfy their preferences through prime ad positions and banner placement at the online point of purchase.

hi there guys a friend given me an old hp 30c6 laptop to fix as it slow I now it very old just wonder would win 7 work on it tia
hi there guys a friend given me an old hp 30c6 laptop to fix as it slow I now it very old just wonder would win 7 work on it tia
Win 7 works on most machines.
But it's speed will depend on the spec of the laptop, cpu, ram.
ok thank you for that info
if you are intending on using Windows 7 on that machine (i wouldnt personally) - i would suggest upgrading the RAM to 2GB if possible?
if you cant upgrade it for any reason then i would highly suggest turning off all the fancy crap that Windows 7 does.
Go into "System" - click on the "advanced" tab
Under "Performance" click the "Settings..." button
Select "Adjust for best performance" and it should unselect all the checkboxes below
once thats done click "Apply" then "OK"
this will reduce the amount of raw power Windows 7 needs and might just make it usable on the laptop
You know he grew up as a little shitspark from the old shitflint and then he turned into a shitbonfire and driven by the winds of his monumental ignorance he turned into a raging shitfirestorm. If I get to be married to Barb I'll have total control of Sunnyvale and then I can unleash the shitnami tidal wave that will engulf Ricky and extinguish his shitflames forever. And with any luck he'll drown in the undershit of that wave. Shitwaves.
Ok thanks I have a copy of xp might just wiped it there to many issue malware on it better wipe it clean

Below are four case studies of individuals (who are all quite different) that will show you how colleges are looking for something that makes students unique.
Spoiler alert: relying on academics alone is a bad way to stand out as a top student.

Meet Kyle, Blaque, Pat, and Judith. They represent organizations and universities such as Harvard, Rice University, London School of Economics, and The Gates Millennium Foundation. They are going to teach you how to get your student into the college of their dreams, but first a quick note about what colleges are looking for in students.
What Universities Want
College admissions offices are a lot like professional sports teams picking players. Whether you have seen Brad Pitt (starring as Billy Bean) evaluating players in the movie Moneyball or your co-worker obsessing over his fantasy football team you know that drafting a player is, well… complicated and stressful!
The same truth holds true for colleges. Says David DuKor-Jackson, assistant Dean at Bucknell, "It would be a lot easier if there was a magic formula." David is right; no 'magic formula' exists, but he and all other admissions offices do look for students that will provide unique value to the campus in the future.
Here are the 4 guiding principles colleges look at when evaluating a potential student for their university:
1. Academics / Test Scores
2. Career Exploration Action
3. Leadership Experience
4. Community Involvement
As you read about each of these rock stars below think about how YOUR student could best standout to his or her college of choice.
Harvard Law School — Enter Kyle
Kyle is a graduate of Harvard Law School and currently serves as an associate at the Law Firm of Kirkland and Ellis LLP in Houston Texas. Prior to attending Harvard, Kyle worked for a U.S. Representative in Washington D.C. and in the finance department of Southwest Airlines.
What set you apart as a top candidate to Harvard?
I worked hard to communicate how I was going to add value in a creative way to Harvard. All students that apply for Harvard have high test scores and GPAs, so I viewed that piece of the application process as a minimum requirement to being considered. My hard work and dedication to grades and the LSAT in undergrad gave me the opportunity to apply for Harvard, but it did not set me apart to get into Harvard.
I have my pilot's license, so for me in particular, I tried to highlight the time and dedication it took to become a pilot and how that translated into other aspects of my story. I framed my application essay as a flight with the focus on being a pilot in order to communicate my story in a creative way.
Through my application, I was able to highlight that experience was my best teacher. Top universities are not looking for students that just go to class and the library all the time, there needs to be more to a student's experience.
What resources/tools did you take advantage of to get an edge?
1.) A Mentor
I had a mentor help me to navigate the different paths I could take after my undergraduate degree. I did not want to make a big investment into an opportunity after my undergraduate degree that would not align with my strengths/passion. During undergrad, I was not sure whether or not I wanted to pursue a graduate degree in business or law, and my mentor helped me think through the pros/cons of each path.
2.) Test Prep Program
For the LSAT in particular, I went through a program called TestMasters on campus. Test Masters is designed specifically for the LSAT, but there are many great test prep programs that provide structure around the test preparation process (SAT, ACT, etc).
3.) Research University Websites
Every University has a different culture and application process. I would research top law programs in the country to see which program fit me best. After narrowing down options, I was able to get a feel of what type of candidate that university was looking to bring to campus. Researching websites will also help you gauge what type of work you will need to put into the application (e.g. some applications require essays and others do not).
What did your daily/weekly routine look like as you were preparing for applying to colleges?
I created a structured routine that allowed me to stay disciplined for months of studying. Every morning I went to the library and sat at the same table at 7 am. I would study until my first class started. Creating this routine allowed me to eliminate distractions and get into a rhythm of studying that felt natural.
What was your biggest mistake/time waster?
This answer is for Type A students and parents like myself. Be cautious of potential burnout. The brain can only take so much when you are growing in knowledge on a daily basis.
I had my worst practice test score a week before the real LSAT because I was totally exhausted. I took four days off before the LSAT to refresh, and it was the best thing I could have done for my score at that stage in the process.
The #1 piece of advice I have for students applying to college is…
Discover what makes you unique and interesting. When you are interviewing for your school the person/school interviewing you should be intrigued by you as an individual. You should be the type of person that the interviewee wants to spend more time with outside of the interview because of your unique story and perspective on the way you view the world.
Rice University— Enter Blaque
Blaque Robinson is a Junior at Rice University and currently serves as the President of Generation College. Blaque's resume also includes being a research assistant for the Medical Center of Wisconsin Cancer Center and a Campus Ambassador for the Student Success Agency.
What set you apart as a top candidate?
I believe what set me apart as a top candidate to Rice was my involvement in various activities. As a high school student, and even starting in middle school, I was very committed to my community. As a result, I volunteered at middle schools as a class assistant and at daycares during my summers. In addition, during the summer of my junior year I was able to obtain an internship with ManPower Group working on the executive floor in the Human Resources Department. Finally, I was very involved in my church and participated in the dance team, sang on the choir, and tutored various children in the church community.
What resources/tools did you take advantage of to get an edge?
1. PSAT Prep Course that was offered by my school
2. ACT and SAT Prep books from the library
3. Taking as many AP classes as possible
4. Developing great relationships with teachers both from whom I had classes with and those with whom I did not
5. I was an attentive student in English class and took out the time to practice writing and work to improve my writing skills, which allowed me to write great college essays.
6. Working with fellow students in classes to compile study guides and to try as much as possible to study in groups (after I had spent time learning the material myself of course)
What did your daily/weekly routine look like when applying for Rice?
I applied to college through a program called QuestBridge. From the start of school until the day I turned in my QuestBridge application I was in my college guidance officers office twice a week reviewing essays and talking about different college options.
I tackled one essay about every two weeks allowing my college guidance officer, my mother, and my English teacher to read, proofread, and edit my personal statements.
In addition to applying to college, I was also applying for various scholarships. I kept a running list of them on a Google Doc for easy access and compiled a list of essay questions and used modified versions of Questbridge essays to help me answer their specific questions.
So as far as a day to day routine, I didn't really have that much of a plan. I scheduled regular meeting with my college guidance officer and during my free periods at school I would focus on my essays and compiling scholarships lists so that I could focus on homework when I was at home.
What was your biggest mistake/time waster?
When researching colleges, I took a large stack of outdated books from the college guidance office that listed school rating and opinions from students. The books were too old and outdated to get to know the fabric of the campus from those books.
The #1 piece of advice I have for students applying to college is…
My one piece of advice is for high school students is to get involved with something you love now and stick with it through high school. You will learn so much and grow so much, and that is one thing that colleges look for in admissions. In addition to this, it is important to try new things to demonstrate that you are open to new experiences.
London School of Economics— Enter Pat
Pat Girasole is graduate of the London School of Economics and currently serves as a management consultant for Sendero Managment Consulting. Prior to joining the London School of Economics, Pat worked with the George W Bush Institute and the US Embassy Rome.
What set you apart as a top candidate?
Honestly, initially I didn't think I could get into the London School of Economics (LSE). The confidence boost I needed came from a friend, who had a very similar resume to me (grades, extracurricular) and was attending the school the year before me.
I stood a chance due to my excellent undergraduate grades, study abroad experience in Tuscany, and an internship at the US Embassy in Rome after graduation. With these experiences, I decided to bolster my case before applying and accepted an internship with the George W. Bush Institute and Presidential Center. The key is to assess realistically what you currently have, and set a manageable goal to enhance your chances.
What resources/tools did you take advantage of to get an edge?
I needed some help on my personal statement, so I utilized resources from The University of Oklahoma (my undergraduate college). I worked with the Dean of the Honors College to review my draft and to write me a letter of recommendation. I also did the same with my favorite professor (whom I was a research assistant for).
The lesson here is that developing strong relationships with academic staff while at university (or high school) can pay off down the line. I was a year out of school and was still able to secure the support of two very influential members of staff.
What did your daily/weekly routine look like when applying for the LSE?
First was broad research — what did I want to study? Once I settled on international economics, I began to think critically through:
- Which schools had strong programs?
- Which cities were hubs of international thought leadership?
- Which cities offered career prospects after graduation?
Finally, where did I want to live — both during school and potentially after? Then it was researching the requirements, the application process, then spending my days fixing up my resume and writing those personal statements. Personal statements took the most time, because it is critical that these are individual and personalized for each and every school you're applying to — NOT one generic statement!
What was your biggest mistake/time waster?
Focusing on getting into schools, I didn't really care about. I was so concerned with having a backup and that sense of security that I spent way too much time on those applications. Looking back, I would have given LSE the full-court press and made sure that I had a flawless application there since it was my first choice.
The #1 piece of advice I have for students applying to college is..
Make it personal! Show that school that they are the one for you. Give 100% of your attention to that one school. One important note — make sure you can get into the school you desire to attend. If you don't meet the minimum requirements, then I'm afraid I wouldn't recommend putting all your eggs in that basket.
However, if you do, then give it your all and leave nothing on the table. Then at the very least, you can feel confident that you did everything in your power to achieve your goal. That said, there's nothing worse than sending the same generic application to 10 schools – you may not get into any of them.
Tailor each and every one per school. Sometimes this is as little as changing one paragraph per personal statement. Have an outline, and then plug that personal story about that school in there. But if you care about one particular school, SHOW it in your work! Passion and enthusiasm are powerful stuff in this whole selection process!
Community Involvement— Judith
Judith Munoz is a Senior at the University of Texas and currently serves as the campus leader for Student Success Agency on her campus. She received a full-ride scholarship as a Bill Gates Millenium Scholar and became president of the organization at her campus as a Junior.
What set you apart as a top candidate?
Being involved in my community helped me stand out as a top candidate to the University of Texas. I did over 100 hours of community service every year while in high school and was able to show that I cared about the people and the community around me.
I also got involved in a lot of different clubs and organization in high school. I would research different ways to get involved and join if it was something that interested me.
What resources/tools did you take advantage of to get an edge?
I utilized the teachers at my high school and my resume (to keep looking back at when writing essay/recommendation letters). I would ask my teachers to look over my essays for grammatical errors, write letters of recommendation, and prepare for the SAT/ACT.
I did not have the luxury of purchasing any tests prep programs. If I could go back in time, I would have bought a practice test book at Half Price Books just to get a feel for the types of questions to expect on the test.
What was your biggest mistake/time waster?
I wish I would have found my major in high school. It is very important to choose the right major for yourself. Everyone says that you have plenty of time to declare a major, but starting to research and think about it as soon as possible is very important. It can be as easy as looking at your dream campus' website to see the various degree plans that they have to offer. Some schools have open houses, and those are great opportunities to talk to students who are in the programs now. In general, just keep your mind open to any opportunities schools have to offer.
In addition, I wish I would have started looking at scholarship and admissions essays early on in high school. Even simply reading the prompts and looking at deadlines gives you a leg up for your senior year when it matters. If you would like to be proactive, you can talk to your older peers that are going through the process right now. You can see what they are doing and how they are doing it. Through this process, you can learn of scholarship and opportunities available to you. Maybe your school has a fee waiver you didn't know about. It's never too early to start the college admissions process.
The #1 piece of advice I have for students applying to college is…
Do not try to be someone you are not when communicating your story. If the only activity you were involved in high school was the automotive club then talk about that and be proud of that story! Being able to tell your personal story and why you are who you are is powerful to college admissions offices.
Over 2.5 million students apply for college every year. A lot of students seem to be the jack of all trades, but it is rare to find a student that is truly unique. Says Steven Roy Goodman, co-author of College Admissions Together: It Take a Family, "It's important to be well lopsided rather than well-rounded. That enables you to focus what you are good at."
What is your student's personal story? Be proud of that, and show it off to potential colleges!!

Trial and Error: To Flip or Not to Flip?
Students stopped coming to a professor's class, so he flipped the course and created a detailed report about the results. Some students liked the new format -- but that didn't keep them coming to class.
The Institution: University of Sydney, Australia
The Problem: Dirk Moses, professor of modern history, continued to face declining attendance in his face-to-face global culture and society course.
The Goal: Since the early 2000s, Moses said, he has been skeptical of the increasingly prominent "flipped classroom," in which students consume at home materials typically conveyed in lecture, leaving more in-class time for robust discussion and interactivity. But last year he decided to try the flipped approach to see if it would entice learners to class, and he designed a study to measure the results. The central question of Moses's recently published report on his flipped-class experiment is whether instructors should design their pedagogical approaches around students' attention spans and individual needs, or if they should try to mold the students to the pedagogy the professors see as most valuable.
The Experiment: Moses wrote that he faced a particular challenge in attempting to flip a humanities course; the approach is often applied to STEM courses, because they lend themselves more easily to in-class quizzes and problem-solving exercises.
The global culture and society course typically consists of three graded assignments: one short essay, one long essay and one exam. For the flipped version, Moses assigned weekly 200-word analyses of readings, due one day after that week's lecture, which focused on the questions that students had to answer in the analysis. The original course's long essay became a take-home assignment, with a draft introduction and annotated bibliography due during the institution's exam period at the end of the semester.
In class, Moses applied a "lectorial" format, focused on providing students with the academic skills necessary to complete the long essay and contextualize the material. "Teaching was to be interactive and dynamic; students were not to be passive recipients of knowledge: we would generate it together in a thrilling voyage of discovery," Moses wrote.
Moses ended the semester with a self-designed survey, which secured responses from 114 students.
What Worked: More than half of students who responded supported Moses's new approach -- some who didn't complete the out-of-class assignments, he suspected, benefited from the refresher lecture he provided at the beginning of each lesson. "Clearly, students vary in preparation, confidence and ability," Moses writes in the report. "With this heterogeneous student body -- including many international students -- there is no one-size-fits-all answer to the teaching-modality question."
The lectorials started out as "raging successes" with fruitful discussions, Moses reports.
What Didn't Work: The first sign of the model's shortcomings arrived early on. The professor soon realized that students were not doing the preparatory reading before class. In response, he included a brief review of the reading before facilitating group work and discussions.
Attendance fell throughout the semester, just as it does in his face-to-face courses. What started as a class with 284 students in attendance dwindled to as few as 30 students by the last two weeks. (One caveat: at the University of Sydney, students can sign up for as many as three overlapping lecture sessions, which means attendance can be spotty, especially during busier times late in the semester.)
"I think the learning framework could be more successful if there was a little more variety," wrote one student. Another said, "It worked for those with strong opinions and the confidence to speak out, however, this doesn't typify the majority of the cohort unfortunately."
Takeaways and Next Steps: To the instructor's surprise, the results were decidedly mixed, as outlined in his report. Attendance didn't improve, and some capable students said in an evaluation that they preferred the traditional model.
Fifty-four percent of the respondents agreed or strongly agreed that they preferred lectorial to traditional lecture, while 31 percent disagreed or strongly disagreed. Qualitative comments ranged widely, with some students offering unequivocal praise for the flipped approach, others dismissing it altogether, and a substantial contingent offering measured criticisms.
Though he doesn't reach any definitive conclusions, Moses does argue in his report that thinking about flipped classrooms through a binary lens obscures the nuances within.
Moses likens his experiment to an "overegged" omelet, when students instead wanted lectures "sunny side up" -- a yolk made up of tutorial content, surrounded by the white of traditional lecturing.
Students in the top third of the class rankings tended to prefer the traditional lecture, Moses said. He speculates that lecture attendance was smaller among that group because high-achieving students want to hear from an experienced lecturer rather than spending much of their time engaging with "unprepared peers."
The report returns frequently to the idea that students aren't a monolith -- sophisticated pedagogical approaches aside, a varied cohort is likely to encompass a wide range of perspectives and backgrounds. In this case, some students found the focus on academic skills useful, while others sought a more "content-rich" approach. Moses now thinks the best offering combines elements of both, though he remains uncertain of the exact balance.
Moses's next plan is to fold the tutorial into a three-hour face-to-face session, which will contain some group work as well as a more traditional lecture -- a partial flip. One or two other instructors will help Moses manage small-group work during the longer period, and the extra hour will give Moses more time to show substantial documentaries and feature films, he said.
While broad data on the prevalence or success of flipped classrooms aren't widely available, research from Robert Talbert, associate professor of mathematics at Grand Valley State University, indicates that interest in the method is growing. According to Talbert's research, more than 130 peer-reviewed articles on the subject were published in 2016, surpassing the total number published in the 15 years prior.

DC offered a first-look trailer for the upcoming "Harley Quinn" animated series, which will star Kaley Cuoco in the titular role. The series will be part of the new DC subscription service and DC Entertainment released a surprise teaser trailer for the animated-series ahead of New York Comic-Con.
Launched on Batman Day 2018, the big draw for the DC Subscription service has been the live-action "Titans" series. That's not the only major release the studio has planned, there is also "Young Justice: Season 3" and the big "Doom Patrol" series. On the roster is also a special series for Swamp Thing, Star Girl, and the animated Harley Quinn shown below.
We will have to wait for the official NYCC panel to get all the details for the show but the trailer did come with a lot of confirmations. We mentioned earlier that Kaley Cuoco will voice Harley Quinn, but the series will also feature Lake Bell, Alan Tudyk, Ron Funches, JB Smoove, Jason Alexander, Wanda Sykes, Giancarlo Esposito, Natalie Morales, Jim Rash, Diedrich Bader, Tony Hale, and Chris Meloni. Fans of the DC character can watch the official first-look trailer below.

Warner Bros. Animation unveiled a first look at the upcoming series on Wednesday, October 3, at New York Comic Con."
Hopefully we will get more information on Titans and even more information on Harley Quinn when the panels hit NYCC this weekend. As for now, DC fans have a lot of entertainment to look forward to over the next few months and the subscription service seems to come well stacked with exclusives and interesting series.

Craft chaos
This is our bedroom which has a beautiful fireplace and a nice wood floor, oh, but you won't be able to see that because half the room is covered in fabric! Every day, James quietly steps over fabric to reach the wardrobe....it's not good.
To be fair, it's not ALL my fault. My dedicated craft room is in the basement below the path to the house. It has a leaky roof and bad damp, and, despite doing some work on it, it's just not suitable for fabric at the moment. I decided this shortly after I found a batch of mouldy fabric in the cupboard, luckily not my favourite fabrics, but still somewhat distressing!
Anyway, we've decided that I can use another basement room for my crafts - this one is part of the main structure so is at much less risk of damp but is currently full of all the tat that happens when you move two houses into one.
So yesterday, I made a little progress. Gone is Mount Fabric in the bedroom, hello to a tiny area of order in the basement - I filled up this storage unit...one of the drawers is dedicated to scraps - it's brilliant!
Oh, and if you came here for patchwork, two more creations dropped off at the shop.
I'm looking forward to getting my teeth into something different, which is good because Sarah - Brit Bee queen for August, your blocks are in my head and soon to be transferred to fabric - I haven't forgotten!

How cool to get a whole room, even if it is subterranean! I need to have a sort out (but not as much as you!!). Love the cushion and bag, so much!ReplyDelete
You'll feel more inspired to make stuff now that you're fabrics are all organised. Great storage! And great makes too! I'm sure they'll fly off the shelves. You could always do a car boot sale to sell your tat, and add more into your fabric fund! JxoReplyDelete
Organised fabric is looking lovely, as is the stunning fireplace! Hope you are able to get a sewing place all nicely sorted out - I'm really looking forward to my blocks! ;-)ReplyDelete
HaHa! I love it. Your bedroom looked like how our dining room looks. Harder to hide a dining room from people! Maybe that's why himself suggested I splurge on some storage!ReplyDelete
The transformation so far looks great hun! Fabric really does have a way of spreading itself out, doesn't it? And the pillow and bag are GREAT, keep them coming!ReplyDelete
Great bag and cushion! Good to know you are finding a good sewing home where more loveliness can come into the world!ReplyDelete
I love your picture of junk! It makes me feel slightly less bad about my own storage problem....ReplyDelete
Oh, that's not too bad at all ;-) And your fireplace there in your room looks fab, I am green with envy. Plus that bag is gorgeous! Would love a whole room to myself, I sew at the kitchen table when everyone is gone to bed.ReplyDelete
I so ♥ your bags......& cushions :-) Lots. ♥♥♥♥♥ReplyDelete
My 'sewing room' is our conservatory which is chilly cold in t'winter & sweaty hot in t'summer.......I guess at least it isn't damp tho' eh? ;-)

Below are the price charts for Antshares and Ethereum on Coinmarketcap.com. The Ethereum chart is from September 2015 – May 2016. Taking a quick look at the charts there are some striking similarities.
First and foremost, both coins had very quick rises in prices that lasted for about a month. The rise in price was due to immense speculation for both coins, and with that said, both prices grew to high to quickly. Resulting in the market then correcting for each coin. Oddly enough, both coins peaked at about $14-$15 during their initial price increase and then fell. They both fell to a price range between $5-$7.
Ethereum stagnated in a price range between $7-$15 for nearly a year before its historic rise. It never fell to far and never rose to high, and this was because the technology behind the coin was solid, but there were limited people using it and talking about it. With that said, once legitimate news began to come out regarding Ethereum the price skyrocketed. (For example the Ethereum Alliance being created)
Antshares / NEO is in an eerily similar position, as it has solid technology behind the coin that will keep the price stable. We can see the stability in the graph above, as Antshares / NEO has been able to stabilize at a price point close to $8. In the long run, as legitimate news becomes released regarding NEO / Antshares, there could very well be a similar jump in price similar to the one we are all familiar with that happened with Ethereum. The first legitimate news to increase the price may very well come on July 15th during the conference.

ALBANY, N.Y. (Sept. 5, 2019) — RNA therapeutics and dark matter research may seem worlds apart on the science spectrum. Now UAlbany students in both fields are benefiting from generous gifts by alumni committed to fostering future generations of scientists.
Lou DeSorbo'78, MS'80, and his wife, Lori, have pledged $250,000 for the Virginia and Lori DeSorbo Scholarship for Physics. Their gift will support master's and doctoral scholarships for students pursuing careers across science, technology, engineering and mathematics, including data analytics, applications engineering, software development and other fields.
Neil Eisenband '80 has pledged $130,000 to launch the RNA Student Enrichment & Legacy Endowment at UAlbany. This fund will be used to foster the RNA Institute and its students through a host of activities, including providing support for scholarships, student awards, supplies, travel and conference expenditures, and student research needs.
At UAlbany, students in the field of RNA research and physics will benefit from the generous contributions of alumni who are devoted to fostering those who will make up the future science and technology workforce.
"These programs and initiatives embody UAlbany's excellence in research, furthering our understanding of the world around us in important ways," said Provost and Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs Carol Kim. "These generous contributions from our alumni give students the opportunity to engage meaningfully in that research, and prepare them to be successful in their academic and professional careers."

"Neil Eisenband's funding to provide RNA Institute undergraduate fellowships is having a transformative impact on the lives of our UAlbany undergraduates because it gives them the opportunity to work full time in research labs over the summer," said RNA Institute Director Andrew Berglund. "These summer experiences are springboards for the careers of our students with many pursuing careers in research and medicine."
"I am grateful to have arrived at a point in my life where I can give something back," said Eisenband. "In 2011, I was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. Through its work on fundamental biological processes, it is my hope that my gift to the RNA Institute contributes to the fight against Parkinson's."
Eisenband graduated from the University in 1980 with a bachelor's degree in accounting, and received a master's degree in taxation from Pace University's Lubin School of Business in 1985. His career has spanned the financial, manufacturing and retail industries, where he has served as chief financial officer of companies such as PureBrands, Successories, Acuity Management Inc. and Polaroid Fotobar. A retired certified public accountant, Eisenband is now dedicated to giving back to the community in myriad ways, including as a board member of the Healthy Mothers, Healthy Babies Coalition of Palm Beach County and on the Financial Advisory Board of Highland Beach, Florida.
Lou DeSorbo is a double graduate of the University at Albany, having received his bachelor's degree in physics and mathematics in 1978 and a master's degree in computer science in 1980.
"Physics is on the brink of great advancement," said DeSorbo. "Let's make UAlbany an important part of the progress."
He is managing director of Underwriters Laboratories (UL) and president of the WERCS. DeSorbo was the founder and managing director of the WERCS, Ltd., which was acquired by UL in 2013. He still leads the management team. The WERCS, an acronym for World-Wide Environmental and Regulatory Compliance Solutions, was designed to help chemical companies meet the hazardous communications regulatory requirements of diverse countries.
"The scholarships funded by the DeSorbos will provide qualified masters and doctoral students in the UAlbany Physics Department exceptional opportunities to develop intellectually and professionally," said Physics Department chair Keith Earle. "The UAlbany Physics Department is pleased and excited that the efforts of our graduate students is being supported and recognized in such a tangible and meaningful way."
DeSorbo continues to volunteer his time and to provide leadership expertise to the University as a member of the UAlbany Foundation Board of Directors since 2011, and as a member of the This is Our Time campaign executive committee. DeSorbo received the Excellence in Entrepreneurship Award from the University Alumni Association in 2013.
The DeSorbo and Eisenband gifts add to the totals of UAlbany's comprehensive fundraising campaign, whose core priorities include support for discovery and innovation. This Is Our Time: The Campaign for UAlbany has now raised more than $130 million toward its $150 million goal.

Alexander I, King of the Hellenes, was taking a walk in the Royal Gardens, when his dog was attacked by a monkey. The King attempted to defend his dog, receiving bites from both the monkey and its mate. The diseased animals' bites caused sepsis and Alexander died three weeks later.
Alexander (Greek: Ἀλέξανδρος, Βασιλεὺς τῶν Ἑλλήνων, Aléxandros, Vasiléfs ton Ellínon; 1 August 1893 – 25 October 1920) ruled Greece as King of the Hellenes from 1917 to 1920 until his unusual death as the result of sepsis contracted by being bitten by two monkeys.
Alexander is unusual among monarchs as he ruled in exception to standard primogeniture tradition. He assumed the throne upon the abdication of his father, though his older brother George still lived. In addition, his older brother would later become King of the Hellenes in his own right, providing a rare case where an older brother would succeed a younger one to the throne (though in this case not directly).
In 1917, Constantine I insisted that Greece remain neutral in World War I, while Prime Minister Eleftherios Venizelos was determined to go to war in support of the Triple Entente. At Venizelos' invitation, French and British troops entered Greece and forced Constantine I and his first born son Crown Prince George into exile (see National Schism). Young Alexander, a proponent of the Megali Idea, was enthroned as King; in reality he had absolutely no power and was a rubber stamp for the Prime Minister, and his only real task was to visit the front frequently and rally the troops.
On one major issue, however, he did defy Venizelos: on 4 November 1919 he eloped with Aspasia Manos (1896–1972), a commoner, daughter of Colonel Petros Manos, causing a scandal and infuriating Venizelos. Aspasia was forced to flee Athens until the crisis was resolved and the wedding was legalized without Aspasia being recognised as Queen, but merely as "Madame Manos". Six months later, the young couple left for Paris, on condition that they neither travel nor appear at official functions together.
Soon after, the Treaty of Sèvres was signed in August 1920. The Treaty was extremely favourable to Greece, giving her large territories in Thrace and around Smyrna in modern-day Turkey. Alexander became King of a much-enlarged Greek state.
Although history has unfairly described King Alexander as a careless pet owner who died from a bite "from his pet monkey"; the 27-year-old monarch actually died after defending his pet dog from an attack during a walk through the Royal Gardens, and he suffered wounds from two of the monkeys. The attack occurred on 2 October 1920. In the report dispatched from Europe, it was stated that the King had been walking in the park with a pet dog, when the dog was attacked by a monkey. The King fended off the monkey with a stick but in the fight the monkey bit him on the hand slightly. "Another monkey rushed to the defense of his mate, and in fending it off, the King received another bite which severely lacerated a gland. The infection which set in following the bites gradually poisoned the King's entire system ..." Both animals were found to have been diseased after they were destroyed. Within days, he developed a severe reaction to the infection, and after initial signs of improvement, became critically ill on 12 October. It is little reported but nonetheless extremely likely that the infection was caused by Monkey B virus which causes a fatal ascending myelitis in man and unremarkable oral lesions in a monkey. There is a relation to Herpes.
On 25 October 1920 King Alexander died at Athens, of sepsis. His father Constantine I was permitted to return to Greece as King. Eventually, King Constantine would lead the Greeks to engage in the Greco-Turkish War which resulted in Greece's defeat, a quarter of a million military and civilian casualties and the end of the Megali Idea. Winston Churchill would later write that "it was a monkey bite that caused the death of those 250,000 people." The territory gained on the Turkish mainland during Alexander's reign was lost.

Sundays Sizzle With Hollywood Nights, Deadwood Fights
Take a hit show, copy the formula, maybe change the name (although not always necessary), find attractive actors…or just attractive people…put them in the show, and you have the latest season of broadcast TV in a nutshell. Looking to draft off of Lost's success, Surface, Threshold, Invasion and Night Stalker all appeared last fall. Now it looks as though none will be around come fall.
But since summer has arrived, I no longer have to sit through Law & Order: Extremely Special Unit with Serious Intent as well as a multitude of generic procedurals from CBS, and various sitcoms that all seem to star a troublemaking dad that vaguely resembles Jim Belushi, a yummy-mummy wife, and multiple precocious children. And with summer, comes the year's most ballsy, biting, and brilliant shows all year—as long as you have HBO.
Spending summer Sunday nights at home with HBO not only gives me my fix of both comedy and drama, but the pairing of Deadwood and Entourage is the most stimulating of the year.
After trying to find its footing in previous seasons, Entourage has come into its own as a sharp and unpretentious comedy that knocks the socks off anything with a laugh track. While Entourage's popularity has grown, Deadwood has moved into the category of "obscure"; despite diehard fans, this season is its last. Difficult to follow and not as widely celebrated as other HBO counterparts, the show struggles to find an audience given that westerns aren't as popular as they were, say, 50 years ago.
Fans of the Clint Eastwood cowboy flick might be put off by the show'sunparalleled use of expletives, Shakespearean-style dialogue, and copious graphic violence. But that's precisely why I like it.
Deadwood doesn't hold back. Don't understand what's going on? Uncomfortable watching the bloody aftermath of a man having a rod shoved into his bladder to dislodge kidney stones for an entire episode? It doesn't matter because Deadwood runs at its own pace, tackling whatever subject in whatever way it wants.
From this description, Deadwood may not seem too appealing, and if you quickly switched the channel after catching a glimpse of someone being strangled/smothered/stabbed/tarred, then I suggest you give it another try. The program brings refreshing intrigue to a forgotten genre, and manages to remain extraordinarily sophisticated—no small feat for a series populated with drunks, thieves and a wide variety of hookers.
While the combination of an atypical western and a comedy focusing on the lives of Hollywood socialites sounds like the worst pairing imaginable, the two nonetheless provide the most exhilarating hour and a half on TV.

The new trainer for the Republic of China Air Force (ROCAF) was rolled out in a ceremony at the Aerospace Industrial Development Corporation (AIDC) factory in Taichung today. The Advanced Jet Trainer (AJT) was unveiled in an event presided over by Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-Wen, and received the name Yong Ying. The trainer – powered by a pair of non-afterburning Honeywell/ITEC F124-200TW engines – is expected to make its first flight in June next year.
The ROCAF's search for an Advanced Jet Trainer (AJT) ended in February 2017, with the XT-5 announced as the future training platform. A contract worth $2.2bn, awarded to the military-run National Chung-Shan Institute of Science and Technology (NCSIST), was signed on February 7.
As a subcontractor, AIDC has developed and constructed the airframe which will be based on the dual-seat F-CK-1 fighter. Sixty-six AJTs will be built for the ROCAF, with deliveries of final production aircraft scheduled for 2026.
The aim is to develop the new trainer with a minimum of technical support from abroad. Compared to the F-CK-1, the XT-5 AJT features an improved fuel system and revised avionics. Lighter materials should increase the thrust-to-weight ratio, while a thicker aerofoil will offer a better lift/drag relationship, resulting in lower approach and landing speeds.
Taiwan's current government – formed after Democratic Progressive Party candidate Tsai Ing-wen won the presidential elections in January 2016 – places a heavy emphasis on development of local aerospace and defence industry. The ultimate selection of the XT-5 was, however, still controversial: the ROCAF's required in-service date of no later than 2019 cannot be met and development of a new aircraft will inevitably lead to much higher costs.
The ROCAF evaluated both the Korea Aerospace Industries T-50 and Leonardo M-346 as part of the AJT competition, which led to the signing of a memorandum of understanding (MoU) between AIDC and (the then) Finmeccanica in 2014 for 66 M-346s.
At least 60 were to be produced under licence by AIDC in Taiwan, with half of all components made in Italy. Finmeccanica agreed to the transfer of relevant technology, provision of technical assistance and support of a locally designed avionics suite if desired.
But the political winds of change in Taiwan in 2016 strongly favoured development of an indigenous AJT, and M-346 procurement fell by the wayside – despite a price reduction of about 25% off the original $2.1bn price tag.
The pro-independence government justifies heavy investment in its own defence industry as reducing reliance on foreign military purchases; and to gain expertise in building a future combat aircraft.
In the future, the new Advanced Jet Trainer will replace the AT-3 and F-5E/F for advanced flight training and tactical flight training. Peter Ho

I haven't been watching any soccer lately. So I have been delinquent with any posts on the matter.
As the Fiestiest of Goats, I am very happy to see that despite my delinquency, The Red Devils have pulled 6 ahead of City. Very glad to see that.
Mostly due to the spark that Robin van Persie lends. He is just that good.
I like this article: http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story/_/id/1268959/sir-alex:-robin-van-persie-is-manchester-united's-new-eric-cantona?cc=5901
I was a big fan of the former captain. When I first started watching soccer for real; Eric Cantona and his turned up collar was a big reason I became a Manchester United fan.
It is a long season. So the Devils have to maintain through the Holidays and into the lucky 13 part of the season.
Here is to Excellence.

Fail -- The Rolls-Royce Vision 100 concept is completely, irredeemably ridiculous

'Epitomizes bespoke automotive luxury'
The incredible thing about the grandiose car on show today was that it was just a two-seater. I know of apartments in London and San Francisco with less space than you'll find inside Rolls-Royce's concept. There's a sofa — couch, for our American readers — on the inside and no steering wheel or instrument panel to speak of. Rolls-Royce describes those things as "superfluous in this model."

How do three point turns work on this? It's fitting that a refined Britishman can elaborate for us…
LMAOO!!! If you want to drive this thing, just gotta beware of narrow spaces. Maybe have a back up car for everyday driving and just use this car when you want to show off on the freeway lol.

Since this property has received funding in part through the Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program, a certain number of units are set aside for lower income households. Households must earn either less than 50% or 60% of the area median income (depending on the set-aside option chosen by the property owner) to qualify for these units. Rents in these units are capped at a maximum of 30% of the set-aside area median income (adjusted for unit size). Some rental units in this property may not be subject to LIHTC and therefore have higher rents and no maximum household income requirement.
This property has received funding in part through the Section 515 Rural Rental Housing (Section 515) program. Very low, low, and moderate income families, elderly persons, and persons with disabilities are eligible to live at this property. Persons or Families living in substandard housing have priority for tenancy.
Generally, households earning up to the income limit in the table below for their household size are eligible for units participating in the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit program in Manawa but actual income limits may differ for units at Maple Leaf Apartments.

Maple Leaf Apartments was built in part with financing obtained through the Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program. In addition to providing apartments for low-income households, this property could include some market rate units. Households earning 60% or less of the Area Median Income (AMI) qualify for targeted rental units in LIHTC financed housing. This property may also designate units for renters with even lower incomes, from 60% of AMI down to 30% AMI. It is even possible that all units have been set aside for those with extremely low incomes (as low as 15% of AMI). This means that the same size unit can rent for different amounts based on the income of the renter.
Figuring out income and rent limits for affordable housing can be complex especially when more than one federal program is involved. To know for sure if you qualify, you must contact the property directly. The amounts provided here should only be used as a basic guide.
