Two years back, SolarCity was among the country's most popular growth business.
Not any longer.
The business, which prepares to open the most significant solar panel factory in North America next year in South Buffalo, still is the nation's leading installer of property roof solar power systems, with a commanding market share equivalent to that of its 50 biggest competitors combined.
However SolarCity, over the previous year, has stumbled, with its development slowing to more pedestrian levels, its losses swelling and its financing costs increasing. With its development falling brief of expectations, SolarCity previously this month stated it would cut jobs in a relocationa relocate to bring its formerly fast-growing 13,000-person work force more in line with its more controlled outlook. SolarCity hasn't stated how lots of jobs it would cut general, but the reductions include 108 tasks at its San Mateo, Calif., headquarters and its office in San Francisco, inning accordance with a filing with California labor officials.
To further conserve cash, CEO Lyndon Rive and his bro, Peter, SolarCity's chief technology officer, cut their annual salaries to $1.
"We have actually been changing our costs to align with the quantity of solar we anticipate to install in the 2nd half of the year," said SolarCity spokeswoman Kady Cooper in a statement.
The restructuring – which remains in addition to an expected $150 million in expense savings that executives anticipate to result from the proposed $2.6 billion merger between SolarCity and electrical automobile maker Tesla Motors – is the latestthe current sign of the dramatic change in SolarCity's outlook given that it became a focal point of Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo's Buffalo Billion economic development effort.
The solar industry won a major success in 2015 when the federal government concurred to extend a crucial tax credit that minimized the cost of new residential solar installations by 30 percent. But that success has actually been tempered by changes in regulative policies in some states that have lowered other subsidies and made solar energy less economical. A policy change in Nevada – among the nation's top solar markets – prompted SolarCity and some other installers to pull out of the state completely.
The company's headwinds likewise had an effectan effect on its proposed merger with Tesla, run by Elon Musk, the Rives' cousin and SolarCity's chairman. When the offer was very first proposed, Tesla was providing to pay SolarCity investors with Tesla stock worth $26.90 to $29.13 per share, based on a Tesla share rate of $222. But when the offer was completed last month, the purchase price dropped to $24.46.
The brand-new headwinds SolarCity deals with aren't threatening to put the business out of company and even endanger its commanding market share. But they highlight the brand-new obstacles confronting the company as its shifts from a full-scale growth mode to an approach that puts more focus on conserving cashmoney in a market where constantly changing regulatory policies aren't as friendly to solar power as they as soon as were.
Installation downturn
SolarCity's setups, which never grew by less than 63 percent throughout any year from 2009 to 2015, are anticipated to slow to around 9 percent this year, primarily because of a 39 percent slump in brand-new bookings throughout the very first half of this year.
The scaled-back growth projection "might act as a source of concern," said expert Philip Shen of investment firm Roth Capital. "It might suggest the health of SolarCity's near-term service might be challenged."
SolarCity, which at first had anticipated to install more than 1,200 megawatts of solar creating capability this year, now anticipates that its installations will vary between 900 and 1,000 megawatts this year. The business downsized its growth plans late last year in a quote to improve its cash flow, but bookings early this year were even slower than expected since of the regulatory changes.
SolarCity isn't really alone in paring its development forecasts. SolarCity rivals First Solar and SunPower both have actually reduced their guidance, with SunPower revealing strategies to cut 1,200 tasks.
Lyndon Rive, however, said there are indications that SolarCity is moving beyond its first half weak point. The company's order bookings during the 2nd quarter were 42 percent higher than they were throughout the first 3 months of the year, although they were well below in 2015's accelerated rate, as customers rushed to go solar from worry that a 30 percent federal tax credit – given that extended – would be enabled to expire this year.
And the company hopes to use a totally new part of the solar market by releasing a new roof product next year that will have solar creating capacity developedintegrated in. Musk has stated the solar roofing item, to be constructed at its Buffalo factory, could make solar power a viable choice for the 5 million United States homeowners who need to replace their roofs each year. Many roof solar today is sold to customers with reasonably new roofs that are less likely to require repair works or replacement during the 20-plus years that a solar power system is expected to last.
"This does seem like it could be a very separated product – one that deals with issues on looks and the challenges of the sale procedure to customers with old roofing systems," Credit Suisse expert Patrick Jobin composed in a report.
SolarCity also launched a brand-new loan item this year that enables its consumers to own the photovoltaic panels that are installed on their roofing systems, instead of lease them. About 20 percent of SolarCity's consumers during the 2nd quarter either bought their solar systems outright with money or got a loan – a trend that Rive expects to grow in the coming months. He likewise thinks it might expand SolarCity's client base by supplying an option for consumers who would rather own than rent their panels.
While SolarCity hasn't launched details of its roof item, Jobin raised concerns that it could be pricey and he noted that other solar roofing items, made by business that consist of Dow Chemical, have failed to construct a huge market.
"This principle of building incorporated photovoltaics is not brand-new," he said.
Financial drain
SolarCity's losses have been getting biggergrowing, mainly due to the fact that it hasn't had the ability to decrease its expenses as quickly as its executives hoped. Experts anticipate the company, which had losses that balanced $59 million throughout each of the last 4 years, to increase its losses this year by about 25 percent and to continue reporting losses at a somewhat slower speed in 2017.
In spite of a method modification last year intendedtargeted at making SolarCity's operations produce more cash than they taken in by the end of 2016, the company's costs actually have increased by about 12 percent considering that striking a record low last fall, stated Andrew Bischof, a Morningstar Inc. analyst who expects the company to keep missing its cost-reduction objectives.
A big factor for that is an uptick in the cost of finding and registering new clients – a pattern that SolarCity executives wish to reverse through the Tesla merger, which will enable it to offer roof planetary systems at the electrical automobile maker's shops.
SolarCity's costs for every watt of creating capacity it sets up dropped fairly consistently throughout 2014 and 2015, with the expectation that those expenditures would keep dropping this year as the business's growth produced more economies of scale. The business likewise counts on the high-efficiency photovoltaic panels that it prepares to make at its South Buffalo factory next year to even more minimize its installation expenses and push solar energy costs more detailed to the point where they no longer requirehave to depend on aids to make financial sense.
However the spike in customer acquisition expenses this year has actually hindered that pattern – a minimum of momentarily. Its cost per watt, which got as low as $2.71 throughout the fourth quarter of last year, leapt to $3.18 per watt throughout the very first quarter prior to falling to $3.05 per watt this spring as installation and sales expenses grew. Rive said throughout a teleconference previously this month that he anticipates SolarCity's customer acquisition expenses to fall even more during the present quarter.
The business also counts on its Buffalo factory, being developed by the state with $750 million in taxpayer funds, to helpto assist it minimize its expenses, given that the high-efficiency panels it will produce will enable SolarCity to utilize less panels and less associated devices to create the very same quantity of electrical power as one these days's traditional systems.
Borrowing expenses rise
SolarCity – a company that continuously needshas to raise money from investors to pay for the roof solar systems that many of its consumers buy through no-money-down lease deals – has seen its loaning expenses increase.
That's important due to the fact that higher funding expenses make it harder for SolarCity – a business with $3.25 billion in debt – to make development towards its supreme objective of having its solar power systems be inexpensive enough that they make financial sense even without subsidies.
The latest evidence of SolarCity's rising funding costs came this month, when the company provided $124 million in "solar bonds." The 18-month bonds provided investors a rates of interest of 6.5 percent – far greater than the yield on less dangerous fixed-income investments. It was the highest rate of interest SolarCity has used on its solar bonds, which have struggled to discover widespread interest amongst financiers. SolarCity Chairman Elon Musk and his SpaceX business have bought mostthe majority of the solar bonds that the company has actually offered so far.
The latest offering isn't any different. Musk said in a regulatory filing recently that he will purchase $65 million in bonds through the latestthe most recent offering, while Lyndon and Peter Rive each will buy $17.5 countless the financial obligation.
But the 6.5 percent yield, over an 18-month term, is a sign that SolarCity is being forced to pay greater interest rates to attract the funding it needs, specifically on financial obligation that isn't really backed by payments from its roof solar installations. When the company initially issued solar bonds, which are appealing to the business since it prevents expensive banking charges, they carried rates of interest of between 2 percent and 4 percent, with terms varying from one year to 7 years.
"SolarCity's company design needs access to low-priced funding to fund installations, strong client renewal rates and the capability to maintain market share," Bischof stated.
That's where SolarCity's new loan offering can help the company in another method: It lowers the service' financing requirements, because the consumer is getting a loan to spend for the panels upfront, rather than relying on SolarCity to borrow cash for a lease plan that takes 20 years to pay back.

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) - Eddie Lacy romped through Notre Dame's defense with power and his favorite spin move.
No. 2 Alabama's latest star tailback rushed for 140 yards and a touchdown and scored with a spin move on a catch in Monday night's 42-14 rout over No. 1 Notre Dame in the BCS championship.
If the game ends up being the junior's finale at Alabama, it was a doozie. He was slowed early in the season with a nagging ankle injury but finished with three straight 100-yard games, a 99-yarder and 10 touchdowns in the final four games.
Named the game's outstanding player on offense, Lacy had 72 yards before the first quarter ended against a defense that came in allowing a stingy 92 yards a game on the ground. He capped the opening drive with a 20-yard touchdown.

It has been said that a divorce is akin to having a death in the family. There is loss, sadness, and grief. That saying is absolutely true. Divorce is difficult and for many people represents one of the biggest crises in their life. But there is a silver lining to divorce. For most people, once they are done, divorce represents the end of one life and the start of an exciting new life. For every death there is life. And after a successful divorce there can be lots of really good, very exciting life.
After a divorce, the following checklist will help you establish your new life:
1. Develop purpose in your life – Your life cannot be about surviving, earning money, eating, and sleeping. There must be some purpose; something that drives you. And usually that purpose is already there. You just have to see it and embrace it as part of your life. That purpose can have something to do with career, money, relationships, hobbies, or education. Whatever it is, you have the potential to make it a big part of your life. No one can have a great life in a complete vacuum. And a divorce has the tendency to leave behind nothing but vacuum. So get busy right now to identify what drives you, and what you want your life to include. This is the "game plan" phase and requires a lot of thinking. Get started now!
2. Go to the gym and get healthy – nothing gets those endorphins flowing like exercise. And it certainly cannot hurt your chances of meeting someone new. You do not need to become an Olympic weightlifter, model, or mountain climber. Just get moving and improve your health. Improved health not only empowers you to withstand stress – it also clears up your mind. Go to the gym if you can. If you cannot, take a long walk every day. Or just park further from the store every time you to out. Think of your post-divorce self as a project and get to work now.
3. Learn a new skill, hobby, or area of knowledge. What are you waiting for? The divorce is over and you have nothing in your way. Time to do whatever you have put off for half your life. You can remake your entire career at any age. You can become anything you want to be. It is never too late. Investigate schools, recreation centers, community centers, community college, trade schools, or anything that ever interested you. Now is the time to go in one end and emerge as a different, more impressive, happier person. You are not getting any younger, so do it now.
4. Meet a new significant other. This is not the time to go crazy, get married, or even move in with someone. But it is definitely not the time to be lonely. Not an outgoing type of person? Then join an activities club. Along with the age of the Internet came an awareness that millions of other people are out there looking for activity partners. Get your computer out and start looking now. The sooner you start the sooner you will be having fun.
Above all, try to start moving forward in a positive direction. You are not the first person to have a failed marriage and you will not be the last. One hundred years ago people were expected to go to their graves within bad marriages. Things are different now. After all, you only live once. And now is your chance to make your post divorce world special and brighter. Do it now !

Now as 2017 has come to an end, let's take a look at one of the Best Android apps 2018 for you to download just as an index of what you may have missed in this year.
So let's start our list with the best movie apps for Android. However, most of the apps given below are available for iOS too and you can enjoy them on your iPhones too.
1) Action Launcher
To be honest we've had quite a bit of confusion over the launchers for your Android phones because Google Now Launcher was standing equally with the Action Launcher. However, thinking something outside the box with more features, we chose Action Launcher.
Action Launcher provides clear and intuitive interface changes without adding so many that it becomes off-putting.
With Action Launcher you can perform simple yet manual customizations such as changing the app drawer layout, changing app icons and not only that but even altering the way you put in use your homescreen folder.
2) Google Allo
You know we couldn't miss this app, could we? Now Google Allo is something that gives you the feel and use of Google Assistant over all the Android phones, even the ones that aren't Nougat based. With Google Allo, you can search for anything over Google, get information, perform calculations and do a variety of other things.
Not only that but you can even chat to your friends and anyone in your contact list. So what's the fun part? You can even send images, stickers or doodles to your friends via Google Allo. So go ahead and download this app right away for your Android and iOS.
3) 1Weather
We all have a handy weather application in our phone and it won't be bad that you use a simple, user friendly designed app that shows you the current weather, forecast for up to a maximum of 12 weeks, a radar, and other stats to take info from. You can download it from Google Play Store at a cost of $1.99. And for the widgets, this app has it all. You'll certainly find this app better than the one you've pre-installed on your phone.
4) Indeed Job Search
We know finding a job is hard but yes, if you're trying to work smart, then Indeed Job Search is going to help you better. Indeed's mobile app for Android lets you search for a job when you're on the go so you can find your next employment anytime. You can narrow the results for specific geographical regions, salary expectations or type of employment. You can even choose between full time and past time jobs too.
This app tracks your search history so you will only see the results you haven't viewed yet. You can also upload your resume if you want make it easier to apply for job you're interested in. So go on and start hunting for new jobs.
5) Brave Browser
Now you may never have heard of anything like this but yes, a browser namely Brave Browser does exist. Let's tell you about it. Are you ever tired or irritated of the ads displayed in the different sites you visit? Probably yes, who doesn't?
You may be enjoying your Google chrome browser pretty well but if you're annoyed by the ads, switch to Brave Browser. It's based on Chromium, so the look and layout is very similar to Chrome but unlike Chrome it has built-in ad blocking tools with options to block tracking and third-party cookies.
There are individual toggles for all of these on a per-site basis, so you only have to block the content that annoys you and your information as well as device is totally safe with this browser.
6) Google Duo
Before Google Allo, we had Google Duo as you people might be knowing because it has users globally and is loved by everybody.
Google Duo is a video calling app that Android users have been using gladly since it was released. Just find the person you want to call and video calls are one-touch away. The person you're calling can even see your face before they pick up which makes this app more secure to use. It's available on Google Play Store to download for free
7) Hound
You might be aware of SoundHound for its music recognition app, but this year the company put its voice recognizing powers to new use with this new digital assistant app. Hound is able to answer complex questions and links to other services too to help with tasks like finding a restaurant or hailing a car. You can even set it as a default voice app on your phone.
8) Shazam Lite
Okay so you people might be aware of Shazam. I mean who doesn't? But this year, Shazam got its users a treat as it launched a lite version of its app that's both reliable to use as well as convenient.
Many Shazam users were complaint that their devices weren't able to hold too long on Shazam due to the amount of space it takes on their phone. So the company introduced this app in other to satisfy its customers with its service. You can download it for free via Google Play Store.
9) Messenger Lite
Well many of the Facebook users might be unhappy due to installing two apps for a single service on their phone- The Facebook app and the Messenger, both over 50 MB in size.
So as a relief for the users having phones of low configuration, Facebook had launched its Lite version earlier and this year, they launched Messenger Lite for its users to enjoy the Facebook Messenger even on phones of low configuration.
You can download this app for free via the Google Play Store. However, the Messenger Lite doesn't support chat heads, so you've got to compromise a bit there.
10) CastBox
CastBox is one of the rare podcast client that not only handles all your subscriptions and playlists, but also puts discovery front and center to make it easier for you to find new shows.
This app recommends podcasts based on your interests and makes it easy to browse and search for specific titles and with features like sleep timers, light and dark themes and mood-based playlists, it will make each podcast feel like it was made for you.
Did we miss your favorite app for 2016? Why not to mention that in the comment box below and share it with others?
Okay lastly, let's tell you that these apps HAVE NOT been ranked as per the numbers on the list. This is just a random numbering to them. Moreover, most of the apps here are available for iOS too, so you check it out. Also if you're not able to find any app, ask us in the comment section and we'll give you the link for downloads.
Can I buy sleep? I need some!
Why don't you follow? Even PewDiePie follows me! Why won't you?

Cheese & Onion PieFrom Parfait 7 years ago
- For the pastry shopping list
- • 450g/1lb plain flour, plus extra for dusting shopping list
- • 2 tsp baking powder shopping list
- • ½ tsp salt shopping list
- • 120g/4½oz unsalted butter, plus extra for greasing shopping list
- • 1 free-range egg yolk shopping list
- • 50g/2oz parmesan cheese, grated shopping list
- • 120ml/4fl oz water shopping list
- • 1 free-range egg, beaten, for glazing shopping list
- For the filling shopping list
- • 1 medium potato, peeled and cut into cubes shopping list
- • 2 onions, finely sliced shopping list
- • 1 tbsp plain flour shopping list
- • 50ml/2oz whole milk shopping list
- • 50ml/2oz double cream shopping list
- • 150g/5½oz mature cheddar cheese, grated shopping list
- • ½ tsp English mustard shopping list
- • ½ tsp cayenne pepper shopping list
- • salt and freshly ground black pepper shopping list
How to make it
- • For the pastry, pulse the flour, baking powder, salt, butter and egg yolk in a food processor until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Add the grated parmesan and stir until well combined.
- • Gradually add the water, a tablespoon at a time, mixing continuously until the mixture just comes together as a dough. (You may not need to use all of the water.) Roll the dough into a ball, then wrap it in cling film and chill in the fridge for an hour.
- • Meanwhile, for the filling, bring a saucepan of salted water to the boil. Add the potato pieces to the pan and cook for 10-15 minutes, or until tender, then drain well and set aside.
- • Bring a separate large saucepan of water to the boil, add the sliced onions and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until softened. Drain well and return the cooked onions to the saucepan.
- • Sprinkle the onions with the flour and stir well to coat. Add the milk and cream and heat the mixture over a medium heat for 3-4 minutes, stirring continuously, until the liquid is smooth and has thickened slightly. Add the cooked potato pieces, grated cheese, mustard and cayenne pepper and stir well. Season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper, stir well, then set the filling mixture aside.
- • Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4. Grease a deep 20cm/8in pie tin with butter. Add a small amount of flour, turn the tin to coat the base and sides of the tin, then shake out any excess.
- • When the pastry has chilled, roll out two thirds of it onto a clean, floured work surface, until it is almost twice as wide as the diameter of the pie tin. Using the rolling pin, lift the pastry and lay it over the pie tin to line the base and sides. Gently press the pastry into the corners of the tin, trimming off any excess, then prick the base of the pastry case several times with a fork.
- • Cover the pastry with a sheet of greaseproof paper and fill it with rice or dried beans. Bake in the oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the pastry is pale golden-brown. Remove from the oven, discard the beans and greaseproof paper and set the pastry aside to cool. When cool, pour the pie filling into the pastry case.
- • Roll the remaining one third of the pastry out onto a clean, floured work surface until it is slightly larger than the diameter of the pie tin. Brush the rim of the cooked pastry case with some of the beaten egg and place the pastry lid on top of the pie. Trim off any excess pastry. Seal the pastry lid to the pastry case by crimping the edges of the pastry lid with a fork.
- • With a knife, make two small holes in the centre of the pastry lid to allow steam to escape. Brush the pastry lid with the remaining beaten egg, then transfer to the oven and bake for 25-30 mins, or until golden-brown.

SOURCE: YES Housing Inc
August 29, 2016 15:00 ET
ALBUQUERQUE, NM--(Marketwired - August 29, 2016) - Mayor Richard J. Berry, along with business and economic development leaders, officially opened the Imperial Building, downtown's newest mixed-use building that is home to 23,000 feet of commercial space including the Silver Street Market (downtown's first grocery store), The Monk's Corner (brewery and tap room), Maya - A Culinary Experience, Crackin' Crab and Salon Jerome; 74 apartments, a rooftop urban garden and 90 parking paces. The project is a partnership between the City of Albuquerque, YES Housing, Inc., Geltmore, LLC, Bernalillo County and the Mortgage Finance Authority.
"This is the first major mixed-use development to open in Downtown since the recession," said Chris Baca, CEO of YES Housing, Inc. "It's significant, because as we add residents and new businesses to downtown, it creates a multiplier effect. This development is centrally located to all transportation modalities -- the Albuquerque Transit Center and the new Albuquerque Rapid Transit, the Railrunner, I-25 and the Sunport -- making this location one of the most desirable in town."
David Silverman of Geltmore, LLC, the company leasing the commercial space, echoed his sentiment. "We only have three retail commercial spaces left for lease, and the apartments are 100 percent leased," he said. "It's a testament to what we've needed in downtown -- more great restaurants, a local grocery store, and great living spaces."
"The City of Albuquerque transferred city-owned property to make this project happen," explained Mayor Richard J. Berry. "We are hopeful that this building will be the catalyst to take the revitalization of downtown to the next level."
UnitedHealthcare is the largest investor providing $11.9 million in equity through the use of Low Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC) approved by the New Mexico Mortgage Finance Authority. UnitedHealthcare has partnered with Enterprise Community Investment to provide $34 million to help build five affordable housing communities in New Mexico.

Kern River Corridor Endowment & River Partners to Restore Bakersfield's Panorama Vista Preserve
River Partners and the Kern River Corridor Endowment (KRCE) hosted a tree planting day in Bakersfield on January 28, 2010. Area residents and students planted more than 2,000 native trees and shrubs at the Panorama Vista Preserve. In addition to the planting, this event also highlighted the involvement of Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) and the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF) as funders. NFWF representative, Claire Thorpe, presented a check to River Partners and the KRCE for the Panorama Vista Riparian Restoration and Education Project.
This restoration project provides opportunities for Bakersfield residents and students to engage in protecting the Kern River watershed through this on-the-ground work day at the Preserve. Restoration work has been underway since April 2010, and maintenance and monitoring of the 30-acre project is managed by the KRCE. A collaboration among River Partners, KRCE, and the Kern Audubon Society, this project contributes to the first phase of habitat
Kern River Corridor Endowment & River Partners to Restore Bakersfield's Panorama Vista Preserverestoration undertaken at the 935-acre Panorama Vista Preserve, bringing engagement and outdoor education opportunities to Bakersfield residents and schools.
This project is funded in part by the Nature Restoration Trust, a partnership between PG&E and NFWF, which has contributed $40,000 toward this restoration effort. PG&E has committed $1 million from 2008 to 2010 to support similar projects throughout the Northern and Central California service area.

Dark Night of the Soul, the collaboration between Danger Mouse, David Lynch and Sparklehorse that "came out" last year as a webstream and a big book with a CD-R encouraging people to download it for free, will finally get an official release through EMI.
The BBC and other news outlets report that the record company has made peace with sonic outlaw (and Los Angeles resident) Brian Burton (aka Danger Mouse) and will release the 2009 album.
From Rolling Stone:
If you like this story, consider signing up for our email newsletters.

a legal hassle between Danger Mouse, or Brian Burton, and EMI stemming back to The Grey Album -- Danger Mouse's mash-up of the Beatles' White Album with Jay-Z's Black Album -- held up the release of Dark Night, a collaboration featuring the Shins' James Mercer, David Lynch, Julian Casablancas, Frank Black and more artists.
Because Sparklehorse's Mark Linkous was signed to EMI and featured prominently on Dark Night of the Soul, EMI threatened to sue if the album was released. Danger Mouse combated the threat by including a blank CD, hinting that fans should download and burn the leaked version of the album. However, Danger Mouse now tells the BBC, "The problems of last year are last year, so hopefully it will be out soon in June or something like that."

Question: Who was the head of the AFL-CIO in 1961?
Answer: When Bart breaks his leg, he's forced to remain indoors during the summer and watch TV. He watches a classic episode of "The Krusty the Klown Show," in which the following dialogue takes place:
Krusty: "Good evening. Tonight my guest is AFL-CIO chairman George Meany, and we'll be discussing collective bargaining agreements."
Meany: "It's a pleasure to be here, Krusty."
Krusty: "Let me be blunt. Is there a labor crisis in America today?"
Meany: "Well that depends on what you mean by 'crisis…'"
That's where the skit ends, but the ensuing conversation must have been fascinating. What an excellent show which somehow devolved into a clown show for children. At any rate, one can learn many useful facts from a show such as The Simpsons.

U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz is facing one of the toughest decisions of her career: vote for President Barack Obama's key Iran deal and risk alienating part of her base. Or vote against the deal, and risk having her loyalty questioned as head of the Democratic National Committee.
On Thursday, one of the Iran deal's key supporters, Vice President Joe Biden, will meet with her and Jewish leaders in South Florida to push the president's proposal at the David Posnack Jewish Community Center in Davie.
Wasserman Schultz, whose district runs from western Broward to Miami Beach, has not said whether she supports the agreement. But the Weston Democrat arranged the meeting, which suggests she wants the White House and Jewish leaders to hear each other's opinions about the deal — even though by this point many have already staked out their position.
Wasserman Schultz turned down a Miami Herald request for an interview about the Iran meeting with Biden. Only a portion of the meeting, likely statements by Biden and Wasserman Schultz, will be public.
"There are a number of questions and concerns that I have, along with my constituents and community leaders, about the agreement negotiated with the P5+1 nations and Iran," she said in a prepared statement, "and given his extensive experience in the foreign policy arena and his intimate knowledge of the negotiations, I believe Vice President Biden can be an effective representative to respond to those questions."
Her allies say that this could be the toughest policy decision she has ever made.
"For Debbie this will be the most important vote she will take as a member of Congress," said former U.S. Rep. Peter Deutsch, D-Hollywood, who lives part-time in Israel and has been Wasserman Schultz's mentor — and opposes the deal. "I've never lobbied her on an issue. This is the first time I am talking to her trying to influence her. There is no issue she has faced in the last 11 years that is as important."
Two Democratic South Florida members of Congress — Ted Deutch of Boca Raton and Alcee Hastings of Delray Beach — are against the deal, while Lois Frankel of West Palm Beach remains undecided. But much more is at stake for Wasserman Schultz, who is expected in her DNC role to back President Barack Obama's policies.
As of Wednesday, supporters of the Iran deal secured the necessary votes in the Senate to uphold Obama's veto if he needs to use one after a vote expected later this month. The agreement will stand if it gains support of one-third of lawmakers in either chamber, since two-thirds majorities in both would be needed to override a veto of a disapproval resolution, the Associated Press reported.
On Wednesday, Maryland Democrat Barbara Mikulski became the 34th senator to commit to vote for the deal. Although many Republicans oppose the deal, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Kentucky, acknowledged that his side would not be able to block the deal since Obama now has enough votes.
Biden has extensive foreign policy experience as a former head of the Senate foreign relations committee. So for Wasserman Schultz, the benefit of the meeting is that it "brings one of the most knowledgeable resources in the country to her district to share information and exchange ideas about what is and is not in the deal," said Stephen Bittel, a longtime Jewish leader in Miami-Dade and DNC member who supports the Iran deal.
Wasserman Schultz's ultimate position won't affect her re-election in her reliably liberal district. But if she comes out against of the Iran deal, it will create an awkward situation for her as DNC chair, a position she has held since 2011. She has been a loyal voice of support for Obama nationwide — she voted in support of the president's position 97 percent of the time in 2014, according to Congressional Quarterly.
So far, it's been easy for her to support Obama's positions because she shares his beliefs, said former U.S. Rep. Ron Klein, D-Boca Raton. But this time it could be different.
"This one is difficult because she has very strong personal beliefs in supporting Israel and the U.S. She is sorting out what she believes is the best policy position and also factors her own personal beliefs as well," he said.
Wasserman Schultz has been out of step with Obama on a key area of concern in Florida: Cuba policy. In December, when Obama announced that the U.S. would normalize relations with Cuba, she issued a vague, non-commital statement: "While I have always been opposed to unearned changes in the status of our relationship with Cuba, I will continue to work with the Administration, my colleagues, and community activists to support policies that benefit the Cuban people and do not further entrench the Castro regime."
It's certain that Republicans — and perhaps some Democrats — will attack Wasserman Schultz over her Iran position in the future.
"She has to make a pretty consequential decision whether or not she is going to support the president," said Mark McNulty, a spokesman for the Republican Jewish Coalition.
And she has to do that in the face of an August Quinnipiac poll showing that Florida voters oppose the nuclear pact with Iran 61 to 25 percent. Nationwide, American voters oppose the Iran deal 2-1, a July Quinnipiac poll found. Polls on views' held by Jewish voters have been mixed and some experts have raised questions about the surveys' methodology.
Wasserman Schultz, who is Jewish, is a strong supporter of Israel, whose leaders have criticized the Iran deal. About 15 percent of those who live in her district are Jewish, although the number who vote could be higher.
Jewish members of Congress nationwide have been split on the Iran deal, with many undecided while Jewish groups have clashed over the deal.
"I have never seen different [Jewish] groups get as organized in their advocacy for one side or another like this," Bittel said. "This is becoming more partisan, the attacks can be more personal, the threats and promises of what's to come more serious. Having a nuclear Iran makes the stakes higher."
Sean Bartlett, a spokesman for Wasserman Schultz, said that among the hundreds of phone calls, letters and emails she has received, constituents opposed to the deal have been more vocal than those who support it.
"The Congresswoman has described this as likely the most consequential vote she will take in her 23 years of elected public office."
Miami Herald staff writer Patricia Mazzei contributed to this article. Information from the Associated Press was used in this article.
Vice President Joe Biden's visit to the David Posnack Jewish Community Center, 5850 S. Pine Island Road in Davie, will create some traffic Thursday morning. Protesters are expected to start arriving around 7:30 a.m. and the program will start at about 9 a.m. Biden and U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz are holding the meeting with Jewish leaders to discuss the Obama administration's Iran deal.

Various Techniques used in Search Engine optimization
These are a few of the black hat or unapproved techniques which can be punished if found. Another effect is that such sites rarely hold onto their ranking for long. On the other hand, white hat techniques are approved and are a part of a good site design. They generally follow the Google Webmaster Guidelines and have a long term stay through site performance alone. Thus it is important for a client firm to know what kind of strategies are being used and if these said strategies are actually legal. So what should you look for in a highly trained online marketing company in Singapore? The profile of the company should suit the hiring firm's requirements. Background data, success and failure rates provide a clear image of the prospective SEO. Regular and constant updating of site information to meet the ever changing market is a must by highly trained in website design Singapore.
It is really important that the firm uses legal and above board techniques in aiding you to improve your search engine rankings. While it may be easier and definitely faster to use black/ grey hat techniques, it will definitely not pay off in the long run. Furthermore, you run a risk of having your site removed from all search engines or shut down it. So what are these black hat techniques? Any technique which is unethical and illegal may be called black hat. These include link spamming, redundant and meaningless use of keywords and Meta tags, deceptive rerouting, etc.
All these strategies are basically designed to boost the ranking of the site rather than actually help any potential customer to a genuine product. On the other hand, white hat methods are legal and approved by search engines. The highly trained in website design services normally follow the Google Webmaster guidelines and are ranked solely on their worthiness. Searches may be based on a variety of factors such as image, videos, locations, etc. and it's the job of the SEO to ensure that your company gets placed high up no matter the criteria asked. With the advent of Google Maps, search engines help locate the closest product/ service provider and the SEO needs to be able to use this to the client's advantage. Broadly speaking, a good SEO technique should keep in mind the customer and not the search engine. If your customer is happy and comes back, the traffic will improve all on its own and so do the rankings.

Search Definitions and symbolism
The phoenix is the bird that symbolically describes Annihilation. It is consumed by flame - is destroyed - but is 'born again' - resurrected from the dead. In most myths and legends it is Red coloured linking it with the Fire level, but alchemically also with Dawn.
"The phoenix is described as 'a mythical sacred firebird which originated in the Sub-continent of India in ancient mythologies mentioned in the Egyptian and later the Phoenician and the Greek Mythology'. In most depictions it is given colourful plumage and a tail of gold and scarlet or purple and blue. In legends it has a '500 to 1,000 year life-cycle', near the end of which it builds itself a nest of myrrh twigs that then ignites; both nest and bird burn fiercely and are reduced to ashes, from which a new, young phoenix or phoenix egg arises, reborn anew to live again. The new phoenix is destined to live as long as its old self. In some stories, the new phoenix embalms the ashes of its old self in an egg made of myrrh and deposits it in the Egyptian city of Heliopolis (sun city in Greek). The bird was also said to regenerate when hurt or wounded by a foe, thus being almost immortal and invincible — it is also said that it can heal a person with a tear from its eyes and make them temporarily immune to death".
The life cycle attributed to the bird is connected with beliefs in the number of reincarnations a person undergoes before they undergo rebirth on the spiritual path.
The Phoenix is perhaps the best known symbol of purification and annihilation, however, a number of other alternative birds are also used symbolically:
- Melek Taus, - peacock angel of the Yazidi.
- Blue Crow, a giant crow from Brazilian legends.
- Bar Juchne, a giant bird from Jewish legends.
- Ziz, a giant bird from Jewish legends.
- Roc, a giant bird from Persian mythology.
- Cafcuh
- Shahrokh
- Fenghuang – China
- Fushichō "Immortal Bird" - Japan
- Zhar-Ptitsa or firebird – Russia
- Bennu - an Egyptian correspondence to the phoenix.
- Angha, or Huma - Persia phoenixes.
- Adarna - a Philippine version of the phoenix
- Avalerion - an Indian magic bird that drowns itself once it has laid its eggs.
- Garuda - an Indian version of the phoenix.
There are too many to describe individually, but they show the almost universal symbolism of this process.

cancer survivors' works.
AtlantiCare held a private reception on Wednesday, Dec. 13 to thank the artists featured in a new permanent Healing Arts exhibit at the AtlantiCare Cancer Care Institute, a Fox Chase Cancer Center Partner at the institute's Egg Harbor Township location. The artists, all cancer survivors, participated in a Healing Arts Workshop in August. Artists met weekly for four weeks with Cheryl Broschard, Development and Cultural Projects manager, AtlantiCare Foundation, and Dorrie Papademetriou, of Linwood, founder and designer, MudGirls Studios.
The artists are Deborah Aker, of Galloway; Ann Arena, of Absecon; Rosemary Flammer, of Galloway; Jane Flanagan, of Galloway; Rebecca Morrison, of Galloway; and Linda Smolinski, of Mays Landing.
The works, which are embossed on tin, are based loosely on Milagros which is a folk art of Mexico.

Legislator's audits of 9 contracts find all "had numbers fudged"
By Mary Ellen Klas, Times/Herald Tallahassee Bureau
Thursday, April 13, 2017 7:58pm
Rep. David Richardson on the House floor
"All 9 contracts that I had audited had the numbers fudged,'' declared Rep. David Richardson, D-Miami Beach, on Wednesday as he wrapped up a 10-minute speech moments before the House voted 89-26 for its draft of the budget.
The retired forensic auditor urged his House colleagues to require more accountability over the private prison contracts as he detailed the abuses he found, offering a level of scrutiny not often seen on the floor of a legislative chamber.
For the last two years, Richardson has been on a one-man crusade to inspect the state's trouble prison system. He described how the state's seven private prison contracts get an audit when they come to an end but "they never have an end" because they have been routinely renewed without going out for bid. He spoke about how he has audited several contracts, made 90 prison visits, met 300 inmates and devoted 700 hours to his probe.
"My audits have shown that the money is not being spent the way we we think we're spending it,'' he said.
His review of the massive prison agency comes in the same year House Speaker Richard Corcoran, R-Land O'Lakes, and his deputies have made a point of calling out "corporate welfare" and questionable contracts at two much smaller state agencies, Enterprise Florida and Visit Florida.
But on Wednesday Richardson was greeted by polite stares from Republican leaders -- and no reaction.
"What I would like to see is some provisional language in this budget that would allow more safeguards and more oversight because what I have found is that we have a lot of spending going on but we have very little oversight,'' the Democrat said. "Many of you may not know this, but in the entirety of the life of private prisons there has never been one financial audit of a private prison operator. Not one."
He said he just completed an audit of six contracts with two private non-profit vendors hired to provide prison work release programming. He said that in 2012, Gov. Rick Scott recommended privatizing the facilities and suggested that it would save the state $460,000 over nine months.
By 2014, the Florida Department of Corrections did privatize the contracts and, documents show, they promised $550,000 a year in savings. But a review of all contracts led Richardson to a different conclusion:
"We are not saving a dime,'' he said. Instead, the agency engaged in a "shell game that perpetrated this little trick."
When an inmate goes out to work in a job outside of prison, the work release facility keeps 55 percent of the net earnings to recover the cost of room and board, and the inmate keeps the rest, Richardson explained. But, during the recession, the Florida Legislature swept the revenue from the Department of Corrections' work release programs and used it to fund other agencies and projects in general revenue.
Florida's general revenue grew, but the state's deficit-ridden Department of Corrections fell further into the red. Then the equation changed when the governor and Legislature decided to privatize the six work release facilities.
"They gave away the general revenue,'' Richardson said. "The six facilities were bringing in $2.1 million into the state coffers every year -- our share of the 55 percent of net income,'' he explained, but the contracts the vendors signed with the state allowed them to keep the money.
"How could so many people knowledgeable about these contracts not see that?" he asked. "So rather than saving $550,000...we are losing over $1 million to the State of Florida. And it's a nice little shell game that got played because people didn't talk about that little bucket of money."
"Friends,'' Richardson pleaded. "We have got to take a serious look into these contracts. I have now audited 9 contracts...and all 9 contracts that I had audited had the numbers fudged to justify privatization. And it's time for this body and this Legislature to take a serious look at how we are spending the taxpayers' money."
In a oblique reference to the powerful special interests that hire lobbyists, he added: "The taxpayers back home don't have a lobbyist here.
"But wait! They do,'' he said facetiously. "It's you and it's me. You see we got sent here to be the lobbyist for the taxpayer, to make sure that their dollars were spent wisely and so we need to do our job as legislators and hold everybody accountable so that every dollar is accounted for."
He concluded by asking for more language in the budget that "will hold these facilities more accountable and for us to be responsible for our taxpayers back home."

A Toronto, Ontario man is shot and killed in a Public Library by a crossbow-wielding assailant.
December 2nd, witnesses across the street from the Public Library located at Gerrard and Main Streets in the city of Toronto, Canada, said a man exited the library and calmly got into a U-Haul truck and drove away. He was carrying a conspicuous object that looked like a weapon of some sort. It resembled a rifle.
Thinking that something was not right about this, quick thinking bystanders jotted down the licence plate number of the motorist as he calmly drove away in therented moving van.
Upon entering the library to inquire as to what they had just witnessed, the story unfolded. There was panic in the library. "A man got hit" the librarian reported. People were being ushered out of the library through the back exits to avoid the traumatizing event that had just occurred.
Image via Wikipedia
A crossbow is a ancient Middle-Ages weapon. It is a tool of warfare that fires a projectile much like an archery arrow, but typically with much greater force. A crossbow is accurate at distance of up to 40-metres (approx. 131-ft.) making it a very lethal weapon.
Shot by a Crossbow
The victim was a man in his 40s. He was shot in the back with the weapon, and was pronounced dead from his injury. The alleged assailant, a man in his 30s, was apprehended by OPP (Ontario Provincial Police) in the east-end of the city about an hour later and is currently being questionedby provincial police. So far, no charges have been laid.

Motives for the untoward attack are not known at this time.
The part of downtown Toronto where the seemingly random attack took place is heavily populated and hosts a school near the library. Children play in this immediate region of the city. Residents are stunned that such an act took place in such a metropolitan and residential neighborhood.
Crossbows in Canada
In the Canadian province of Ontario, crossbows are legal to own for hunting. Using a crossbow in the commission of a crime is not unheard of in Canada. Back in 2009, a 6-hour standoff occurred whereby a 42-year old Montreal man held police in a 6-hour standoff, armed with a crossbow.
The investigation of the incident at the Public Library is ongoing as of this report.

Arbitrator out of order
The Liberals' approach to health care union arbitration bordered on ridiculous. The government tried using legislation to force health care workers into specific unions. Arbitrator James Dorsey would ultimately be fired (once by phone and three times by letter), and the Liberals would let the unions do what they originally wanted—keep their members and set up bargaining councils.
Ferry godfather
Economic and rural development and tourism minister Michel Samson repeatedly told reporters in January that the province had given no additional funds to the nightmarish Nova Star ferry besides the $26 million already disclosed. Turns out the Liberals had approved an additional $2.5 million back in December. Samson claims he misspoke.
Binders full of women
Gynecologist Robyn MacQuarrie has claimed health and wellness minister Leo Glavine's executive assistant tried to intimidate her with a folder of printed-off screenshots from her social media accounts. Glavine and Stephen McNeil laughed off the report. But the minister told reporters he hadn't directly asked his EA, Peter Bragg (who has refused comment), about the incident.
Do as I say
Community services minister Joanne Bernard claimed an "extraordinarily high" number of Nova Scotians stay on income assistance programs longer than they should, but was unable to give exact figures to reporters. Bernard herself was on income assistance for nine years, earning two degrees before her time in politics. There are more than 44,000 Nova Scotians on income assistance, each averaging four years on the programs.
Animated discussion
A fact sheet issued by the province about the new animation tax credit originally boasted of a 25 percent bonus on labour costs. That was halved two days later to read a 25 percent bonus on 50 percent of labour costs (or 12.5 percent, total). When pressed by reporters, minister of finance Diana Whalen was unable to explain the false information, calling the numbers "difficult to understand." The province eventually settled on a third set of figures, equalling 17.5 percent for all animation activities.

Waiting on Oracle Sunset
The worry over MySQL may hold up Oracle's acquisition of Sun. Sun has so much hardware and software yet it is the potential Oracle ownership of the open source database that could be a problem for competition. I don't know that I disagree but it is interesting that an open source product could be cause for an anti-competitive issue. If the competitors (SAP and Microsoft) really felt this way couldn't they get the bits? It is the chance that Oracle could slack off on future development of MySQL that seems to be the problem.

Each week, there are hundreds upon thousands of blog posts written by people all over the world. I find myself each week reading several of them. I have taken the time to link to some of my favorite blog posts from around the blogosphere from the previous week. I hope maybe one or two of these stories will be an encouragement to you.
- Should You Pray for God to Save Your Loved Ones by Michael Horton. In only a way that Horton can do, he shows what the difference between the Calvinist and Arminian should be in regards to praying from someone to be saved.
- Complementarianism for Dummies by Mary Kassian. This is a very helpful summary of what complementarianism (a view of the role of men and women) is and is not.
- 5 Questions to Ask of a Book by Tim Challies. I obviously love to read and have tried to post many book reviews on this blog. Challies gives a helpful framework through which to read books and how you know you can recommend them to others.
- How Do You Evangelize If You Don't Ask Someone to Pray 'The Sinner's Prayer?' by Justin Taylor. In this post, Taylor looks at some of the statements by David Platt where he warns of the dangers of asking someone to pray the sinners prayer. While it is not wrong, it could be dangerous.
- Warning Signs That You Might Be Drifting From God by Stephen Altrogge. I found his points on this topic helpful since I preached on it last Sunday. They helped put some feet to my life.

Let me tell you about this dude I met over the weekend. For now, we'll call him Ted the $20 Dude. This guy taught me another valuable lesson (or more like reminded me of a lesson), and I'm going to share that lesson with you.
Ted the $20 Dude was visiting where I work with his wife and daughter. There was nothing that really stood out about Ted. He was probably in his late 40s, had the typical "dad belly," and wanted a drink to calm his nerves after a long day. So he came up to the bar and started talking to me. I, being my normal self, listened and responded when appropriate.
Then Ted, after talking to me for a bit, told me about how his vacation wasn't going the greatest and that he always seemed to have "bad luck." He thanked me for being nice to him. And he told me multiple times that he'd bring me a cash tip the next day. I didn't really expect him to, but I said "Okay, no problem" and continued to talk to him until he left the bar.
The next day Ted came back to the bar again. I said hi, smiled and asked if his day was getting any better. He told me a few things and then said "I told you I'd be back with this," and tossed a $20 bill on the counter. He said thanks again. He told me how much it meant to him that I was nice, and that he could tell it was a genuine part of my personality. I thanked him again, and then went about my day.
So here's the lesson of this story: you never know who you'll meet and how your actions will affect them. You may meet someone like Ted the $20 Dude who is having a rough day and simply needs someone to be kind to him. It's like the Golden Rule says, "Treat others how you want to be treated." Not only is it rewarding for the person, but it can be rewarding for you, too. It is a great feeling to know that you helped someone to have a better day.
So, I hope you take this to heart. It may be cheesy but it's the truth. Treat others with kindness and respect, and try to greet them with a smile. You never know who you'll meet :)
Keep your head up girly!
