For the past six months, Facebook has been experimenting with like-hiding on Instagram in several countries. As some media suggest, Facebook could be next. The company claims it is testing how to prevent people from destructively comparing themselves to others. Instead of fixating on likes, Facebook hopes people will focus their attention on what they post. Moreover, they believe deleting the like button could lead to more honest, spontaneous and free behavior, as it might make people less anxious about the popularity of their posts.
The like button is part of the core of Facebook's business model because it captures and holds consumers' attention, thus time. At first sight, changing this might effectively harm the profitability of advertising. However, Facebook is becoming less popular among youth, who instead use other platforms, such as Pinterest, Instagram and Snapchat. Day-to-day activities are not often posted on Facebook anymore, but rather the more standalone and special events such as weddings or new job announcements. As a result of the decline in use, people might worry that their special events will not attract many likes,causing them not to post about them at all. The like button might currently thus prevent users from posting something and ultimately cause the demise of Facebook usage altogether. Therefore, some claim Facebook is worried that the like-button ultimately has negative effects for the company itself and that this is the real reason for removing it.
Consumer behavior changes constantly and ethical sensitivity towards social media has grown. Removing like-counts could be a part of this, certainly when it doesn't affect advertising income too much. Facebook and other social media will keeprethinking the fundamental design principles of social media. To counteract the further decline in Facebook usage, the company could learn from successful smaller platforms, which are less dependent on advertising. For example, Twitch is creating new foundations in terms of engagement or interactive social media use. The structure of moderated discussion onReddit might be a good strategy for battling fake news and Strava and Figure1 show that even niches are a viable option for social media design.

It's Official: Daniel Craig Is Dusting Off His Tux and Reprising His Role as James Bond
Following 2015's Spectre, Daniel Craig has been cagey about his potential return to the James Bond franchise. Not only did he (in)famously tell a reporter that he'd "rather slash [his] wrists" than ever play 007 again, but there have been numerous campaigns for other actors to take up the mantle, from Idris Elba to Charlize Theron. Though the Logan Lucky actor refused to confirm one way or another whether he'd play the titular spy in the next Bond film, that all changed on Friday.
In a press release, producers Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli officially confirmed that the 50-year-old actor will reprise his role as James Bond for the fifth time after starring in Casino Royale, Quantum of Solace, Skyfall, and Spectre. "We are delighted to announce that the exceptionally talented Danny Boyle will be directing Daniel Craig in his fifth outing as James Bond in the 25th installment of the franchise," Wilson and Broccoli said in a joint statement. "We will begin shooting Bond 25 at Pinewood Studios [in London] in December with our partners at MGM and thrilled that Universal Pictures will be our international distributor."
The as-yet-untitled Bond film will be the 25th in the series and is set for a November 2019 release date. "I think this is it. I just want to go out on a high note," Craig said during a previous appearance on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert. "I can't wait."

Video: Boston Celtics 116, Charlotte Hornets 86 highlights
There's the 30 point blowout win we've been asking for. Came against a very banged up Hornets team, but a blowout versus an NBA team is still a blowout. That makes two in a row for the Celtics. The Celtics were actually able to play all 15 players that dressed. Not sure when was the last time that happened, if ever.
Sharing the ball Celtics are my favorite Celtics.
— CelticsLife.com (@celticslife) April 4, 2021
Jayson Tatum led the Celtics with 22 points, while former Celtics guard Terry Rozier paced the Hornets with 22 of his own. Evan Fournier continued to be on fire from beyond the arc hitting another 4 on only 5 attempts on his way to 17 points off the bench. Fournier's 6 dimes also tied him with Kemba Walker for the team lead.
Romeo Langford made his long awaited debut on the season. Check out this first half block:

To get funding and survive in the competitive market, startup owners can use cryptocurrency for attracting investors:
- Launch an ICO
As your startup is developing, ICO investors hope for the growth of the company's token so that they can exchange it for money and make considerably more than they invested.
- Create a new cryptocurrency product
Cryptocurrency is a lucrative niche for startups. Building a crypto product can help companies become more relevant among investors and VC funding.
- Join a crypto accelerator
By attending crypto events and becoming a part of accelerators, you can get in touch with the trendsetters of your local tech hub. Establishing a network increases your visibility in the startup world and, by extension, makes investors more aware that your company exists.
- Encourage clients to pay in crypto
Switch a part of your operations to crypto. This is a reasonable move since the sprouting growth of the currency people use to pay you can increase the company's overall capital by numbers without you having to actively seek new investments.

- Today in Tabs

- Never Meta Face I Didn't Book
Never Meta Face I Didn't Book
Is this anything?
Off the Record finally has a website so here's Andrew Fedorov on newsletter writers burning out from the grueling pace of two posts a week.
[Long beat. Uncomfortably long. Direct, unblinking eye contact. And… turn to CAM 2:]
But it's true that writing a newsletter can be exhausting. It's Tabs Friday and we've had a busy couple weeks, so what I have for you today is:
✨ A Bunch of Links, with No Particular Theme or Structure 💫
"Isn't that just what Tabs is every day," you ask? That's interesting but no one asked for your opinion.
Mark Zuckerberg and his dead black eyes put viewers through a grueling and entirely fictional presentation of stuff you'd be excited about if you were a billionaire who just read "Ready Player One." Facebook will now be a subsidiary of Meta, a company name no one will ever use, and Choire somehow had a post about it up before the announcement was even finished, writing that "Facebook does not allow nudity on its platforms and so it's unclear how people will have weird sex in the metaverse."
The Today Show boldly reached back to a movie so old it can legally drink to bring us the recipe for Kronk's Spinach Puffs.
"Writers do reveal things they don't realize they're showing us, or even know they know, in their writing." In Harper's Bazaar, Molly Fisk wrote about the short story that her uncle John Updike wrote about her dead father, and there is a hell of a swerve in the middle of it.
E.J. Dickson: "An Instagram-Famous Piglet Just Came Out as an Anti-Vaxxer."
"Can you clarify Penny the Fire Pig's view of the vaccine mandate?" is a real sentence I wrote to a source asking for comment on this story rollingstone.com/culture/cultur…
— Ej Dickson IS WRITING A BOOK SOMEHOW (@ejdickson)
Oct 28, 2021
A reader who understandably wishes to remain anonymous sent me an example of corporate cringe that might be worse than anything in yesterday's Tabs. Here is the 2015 Gannett Executive Team with "Everything is Awesome."
"IIRC, this was unveiled in the same meeting as the name of the new broadcast company that was spinning off from the newspaper company… in which the letters T-E-G-N-A spun out of the word GANNETT to form the new logo," writes my source. Media, what a business! Speaking of which: G/O Media just deleted all the images from pre-2019 posts on "11 websites, including the former Gawker Media properties Gizmodo, Jalopnik, Deadspin, The A.V. Club, The Onion, and Jezebel," reports Gawker's Tarpley Hitt. RIP Mr. Autumn Man, murdered by Jim Spanfeller.
Celebs Are At It: Apparently Brian Cox talked some shit in his new book. "[Johnny Depp] is, is so overblown, so overrated." He's right and he should say it. Timothée Chalamet had an Xbox controller modding YouTube channel when he was 15, which Vice brought in OSINT experts from Bellingcat to laboriously prove before getting savagely front-run by Chalamet himself.
Some Millennials are suddenly uncool and the Times is on it.
The Longform podcast has an episode with Ben Smith which is interesting if you're a giant nerd. He declines to say why he hasn't divested his BuzzFeed options yet, oddly suggesting that's a question for the Times to answer.
Kiwi Korner: It looks very likely that the New Zealand Bird of the Year will be a bat. "Actually, when you look at the number one and number two rankings, it's not winning by a little. It's winning by quite a lot." Ha ha ha, suck it birds.
Today's Song: Beat Happening, "Indian Summer"
~ French tabs with molasses, croquet and Baked Alaskas ~
Today in Tabs is brought to you today almost entirely by stuff people posted in the subscriber Discord. Listen if other 'sletterers are allowed to get burned out by two emails a week, I get a casual Thursday once in a while right? Never work harder than you absolutely must, my friends. Subscriber open thread tomorrow! Cash me in the metaverse.

Sennheiser has just announced the new entry-level XS Wireless Digital microphone system at NAMM 2019.
There are ten different kits in the range and are split between music and video, including but they are all based around the same modular transmitter & receiver.
From the onset, you can see that the units are very compact, and follow a similar form factor to the higher-end AVX system in that the receivers have the plug built-in to the unit so there are no additional cables required for the receiver. You simply plug the receiver straight into the recording device like a camera.
The XS Wireless Digital system operates on a 2.4 GHz connection and offers one-touch, ease-of-use. Since they operate on the o2.4 GHz open spectrum, you won't have any issues when using them worldwide. Sennheiser claims you can operate these up to 75m (250ft) in optimal conditions.
The exterior of the units are very simple, there is only one button. This one button is used to power the units on and off, pair a transmitter and receiver, and also to mute.
Although the system is one-to-one, a receiver can be paired to multiple transmitters at the same time, and you can easily switch between the transmitters. This saves you from having to pair each time if you had multiple interviews lined up, you could prepare all your transmitters and just toggle the channel after each person was done.
Sennheiser claims that you can get up to 5 hours of battery life on a single charge with the internal 850mah battery. The batteries are non-removable and are charged via the USB-C port.
In the XSW-D Portable Interview kit, a cold shoe mount is also included for mounting to cameras.
What modules are available?
In the XS Wireless Digital system, there are a number of different modules available.
Transmitters include:
- XSW-D 3.5mm
- XSW-D 6.3mm (1/4″)
Receivers include:
- XSW-D 3.5mm
- XSW-D 6.3mm (1/4″)
Pricing & Availability.
Pricing varies depending on the kits. For filmmakers, the XSW-D Lavalier set will retail for $349.95 USD and includes the ME2-II lavalier mic, 3.5mm transmitter and XLR receiver.
There is also going to be a portable ENG, Interview & Lavalier sets with more additions.
Competition comes from the RØDELink Filmmaker kit which retails for $399 USD and has similar features to the new XSW-D system, operating on 2.4 GHz spectrum but it is much larger, as it uses 2x AA batteries.
On the higher end, Sennheiser's own AVX system is very popular and comes in at $699 USD, Deity Microphones Connect system is also meant to ship in early 2019, and has a dual channel receiver but will be around $800 USD.
Sennheiser has a 5-part series on the XSW-D system.

Since an S-1 IPO SEC filing is only something that needs to be filed one time in a company's history, you may be less familiar with it than with annual SEC filings. Learn who needs to file an S-1, why it only needs to be filed once and what information is disclosed on the form.
What Is an S-1 IPO Form?
An S-1 Form is the initial registration that is filed with the SEC when a company first goes public, generally before the initial public offering, or IPO. You may sometimes hear this form referred to as the "registration form," since it registers the company with the SEC. Because the form is only filed once, chances are you won't need to file an S-1 many times — unless you are a serial entrepreneur.
The SEC requires that this form be filed before public shares can be issued for a company, so make sure to plan for that when creating a timeline for the IPO.
What Does the Form S-1 IPO Contain?
In advance of an IPO, the SEC requires that companies provide detailed information about their business model, share offerings, the price methodology that was used by underwriters and other details. Within the S-1 Form, you will need to explain the business model and how it compares with peers, the process of setting share prices and the planned use of capital raised by selling shares. You will also need to go into detail on the company's board of directors and outside legal counsel if there are other business relationships among these entities that could affect the business offering.
On the prospectus — which is part of the S-1 Form — you will discuss the business operations and its financial condition, the percentage of the business being sold as public shares, the underwriters who were involved in the IPO process, and total proceeds raised by the IPO.
Everything on the Form S-1 must be true and complete at the time of filing. If the SEC finds that some critical information was omitted from the S-1, there could be penalties.
Given that the details of a security offering may change leading up to the IPO, the Form S-1 may need to be amended. Rather than file a second S-1 with the SEC, you can use the related S-1/A if amendments become necessary.
Who Needs to File an S-1 Form?
Any company that is going public with intention to sell its shares on the U.S. stock market must file an S-1. While this is usually done in conjunction with a company's IPO, there are times when companies will file an S-1 even if they aren't planning for an IPO. Business owners who are choosing the direct listing option for taking their company public likewise need to file the S-1 form.
The S-1 only needs to be filed for domestic companies; foreign-held companies that want to sell shares in the U.S. have a different form, known as the F-1.
Why Is an S-1 Necessary?
An S-1 Form is necessary for regulatory purposes, but its value extends far beyond satisfying legal requirements. Consider that interested individuals who are thinking about buying a security can review the S-1 to learn more about the opportunity. While a big IPO — such as that for a Silicon Valley unicorn company — may be high publicized in financial news media, plenty of other companies go public that do not have household names.
Whether the business is a technology sector unicorn or more quotidian, the S-1 Form is generally the easiest way to uncover relevant financial information so that investors can evaluate the investment. Because the S-1 explains the company's valuation, current financials, competitors, market opportunities and other metrics, it allows investors to weigh their options and develop the necessary confidence to buy shares.
What Is the Best Way to File the S-1 SEC Form?
S-1 forms are filed with the SEC by transmitting documentation directly to EDGAR, their file management system. . There are a range of software options for developing SEC filings and transmitting documents to EDGAR — so what sets DFIN's software, ActiveDisclosure℠, apart from the others ?
ActiveDisclosure℠ contains guided workflows that make it easy to loop in key stakeholders for a collaborative work effort. When everyone can work collaboratively within the same document, there's less chance of administrative errors or version control issues that could lead to inaccurate reports or SEC filings.
Our software is built with validation and tagging features that make it faster and easier to develop compliant and accurate financial reports. Built-in checks within the system prevent you from submitting a document that is incomplete or fails to meet one or more filing requirements.
Plus, there is 24/7/365 customer support should a question arise during the filing process. At DFIN, we consider ourselves partners with all of our customers. We are here to assist with all aspects of the SEC filing process, from the S-1 Form to the annual paperwork you'll need to file throughout the lifetime of a public company.
IPOs can be intensely time-consuming, but there are resources to help speed up parts of the process. Spend time focusing on the metrics that will increase valuation and not on the regulatory documentation. Let DFIN help you with the SEC filings for your enterprise.

New London stabbing sends man to hospital; suspect in custody
New London — A man is in critical condition after being stabbed multiple times Thursday afternoon, according to police. Authorities soon after apprehended the suspect, later identified as Christopher Petteway, on South Water Street.
The New London Police Department said in a news release Thursday night that Petteway, 42, of 25 Brainard St. has been charged with first-degree assault, attempted murder and violation of a protective order. Police Capt. Brian Wright said the protective order became effective Aug. 2.
Police Chief Peter Reichard said a passer-by called 911 about 2:14 p.m. to report that a fight was taking place at 25 Brainard St. and someone had been stabbed.
"We don't believe the passer-by knew them, but we believe the victim and the suspect knew each other," Reichard said in the afternoon. Police later confirmed the victim and suspect knew each other, and said the incident is considered a domestic violence case.
Police arrived and found an adult male victim suffering from "numerous stab wounds," Reichard said. The victim was taken to Lawrence + Memorial Hospital for emergency medical care.
Police quickly secured the scene, K-9s and detectives responded, and area schools were directed to go into lockdown "as a precautionary measure during the search for the suspect," the news release stated.
Police said they apprehended Petteway, who did not appear to be injured, without incident after a brief search. As of late Thursday, they had not released the name of the victim.
Anyone with information on the incident is asked to contact city police at (860) 447-5269, ext. 0.
According to court records, Petteway was found guilty in August of second-degree threatening and disorderly conduct, both misdemeanors, stemming from a June 19 incident.
Last April, Petteway was injured in a collision between his bicycle and a police cruiser.
Comment threads are monitored for 48 hours after publication and then closed.

Alfred, you are amazing!
Your work, persistance, patience, and professionalism has impressed me greatly. Hopefully you have received your cheque and my thanks by now.
It looks like the notifications are posting at around 5:00pm instead of 2:00pm which is perfect. The app is working as to the initial specs (and more which I appreciate).
The only additional item, before this project is totally signed off is just for the 'mail test', and 'PHPinfo()' items under the 'Manage Dealers' section in the Hobbycraft Control Panel to be removed.
Thanks again Alfred, and I'll be in touch over the next while to touch base, say hello, and let you know about upcoming projects which you may be interested in having some involvement.

Charles Wood
With a military career spanning four years in the Air Force as an E4 Senior Airman, Charles Wood served his country proudly in both the Philippines and Vietnam. While his older brother took up service in the Army, Charles decided to join the Air Force instead. His reason was he "didn't want to lay in the mud and thought that flying up above it sounded like a better plan!" When he finished his military service, he resumed his job as a carpenter, the same work he was doing before he enlisted.
Now retired, Charles serves as a regular "Watch Dog" at JB Watkins Elementary School. The Watch Dog program is a public school volunteer program mainly for fathers and grandfathers. Volunteering at the school can include a variety of things including fixing things in need of repair, to walking kids from the office or clinic back to their classrooms, to helping set up for an assembly, to tying kids shoes in the hallway. Years ago, one of his granddaughters asked Charles to come to school and try being a Watch Dog for the day. He loved it so much that he has continued with it even though his grandkids have now graduated to higher grade levels. He rarely misses a day and is often there five days a week!
Branch Partner Ryan Charles from ALCOVA Mortgage is part of the Watch Dog program himself, and he can recall seeing Charles there every day that he has come in to volunteer. Ryan says, "Charles is legendary here at JB Watkins and never asks for any spotlight, attention, or recognition." Even though the school uses an online sign-up sheet for the volunteers to pick their days, Charles never uses it. He simply shows up every day, and Ryan says, "He just makes JB Watkins a better place!"
Ryan partnered up with Assistant Principal Shawn Ondrish to surprise Charles as a Hometown Hero. They gathered the kids together, and Ryan asked the group to raise their hand if they knew Mr. Wood. Every single hand shot up in the air! Ryan then talked about Charles' dedication to the kids and the Watch Dog program and presented him with his Hometown Hero award amidst cheers of "Mr. Wood, Mr. Wood, Mr. Wood!" from everyone.
"I'm so grateful to have the opportunity to honor such a deserving man," says Ryan. It was a day that I, and I'm sure, Mr. Wood, will never forget!"

2018 Jaguar XF Sportbrake First Drive
SUVs and crossovers dominate today's sales charts. The midsize SUV segment has overtaken sedans as the biggest chunk of the market, automakers like Ford are scaling back future plans for sedans, and even Ferrari and Rolls-Royce are scrambling to add tall vehicles to the lineup.
If it's bad news for sedans, there's a silver lining for wagons and the people who love them. The once-ubiquitous station wagon was relegated to a niche product since the minivan took its place as the default family hauler (which in turn was displaced by the crossover). History is due to repeat itself, and the wagon is now waiting in the wings as the stylish, sporty alternative to the ubiquitous SUV duffel bag.
Which brings us to the Jaguar XF Sportbrake. It's beautiful, even in the silver hue of our test car that mutes the car's muscular lines. Compare that to Jaguar's own F-Pace, where the distinctive nose can't hide the fact that SUVs are starting to look the same. Meanwhile, crash regulations, pedestrian impact standards, and the need to maximize aerodynamic efficiency have turned most sedans into ovoid, high-beltline blandmobiles. The wagon is a refuge of low and long proportions that get the heart racing.
The XF is particularly becoming in wagon form, but, for a moment, consider a few more rational arguments. First—380 horsepower. The XF Sportbrake only comes in "S" trim, with a supercharged 3.0-liter V-6 powering all four wheels. It drives a lot like the XF sedan, and a lot better than any SUV. The mostly straight, flat Florida roads on our test drive limited a deeper investigation of this Jaguar's handling abilities, but our limited sample showed promise. The engine responds willingly, hampered more by a cautious stability control system than the workings of the eight-speed automatic. Select the Dynamic mode to loosens that leash, but don't expect it to add anything to the disappointingly muted soundtrack.
Inside, the XF shares a common look with the rest of the Jaguar lineup. A digital instrument panel presents either a classic three-dial cluster (the leftmost dial programmable) or a large navigation map. The center infotainment screen is updated to Jaguar's latest widescreen iteration. A round shifting dial rises from the center of the console, with various drive mode buttons behind it and a small storage space rear of that under the armrest.
Then there's the storage area which, of course, is larger than the sedan at 22.2 cubic feet (up 3.1 cu ft). Yes, the F-Pace holds more behind its second row, owing to taller and slightly wider dimensions, but the XF Sportbrake will take cargo that's 4.5 inches longer.
Comparing a wagon to its SUV equivalent ends in the same argument that gave rise to the SUV in the first place. More cargo, a commanding view of the road, and packaging efficiencies tilt the objective points to the SUV, despite a higher center of gravity and compromised fuel economy.
The XF Sportbrake will need a few converts to remain anything but an obscurity. Jaguar sold 4541 XF sedans last year, less than a quarter of F-Pace sales. This could lead to collectibility in the (far) future, but for the present that at least makes the XF Sportbrake something that stands out in the parking lot. And its cohesive, handsome looks are a welcome bonus to the generous practicality of a wagon.
Sales challenges aside, there is evidence we are entering a wagon moment in the U.S. market. Mercedes-Benz continues to offer a long-roof E-Class, while Audi still sends us the A4-based Allroad, and BMW soldiers on with its 3 Series wagon. Volvo has returned to its wagon heritage with the V90, V90 cross country, and upcoming V60. Even Buick has entered the fray with the Regal TourX, while Volkswagen offers the Golf Sportwagen. The mere existence of the XF Sportbrake is evidence that, even if it's still something of a niche prospect, the beloved wagon is far from dead.

Las Vegas — Attendees identified as baking and snack professionals paced the record breaking 20th anniversary of Pack Expo Las Vegas, held Sept. 28-30.
Show owner and producer PMMI, The Association for Packaging and Processing Technologies, reported preliminary data for Pack Expo Las Vegas and the co-located Pharma Expo showed a 4% increase in attendance over the record that Pack Expo Las Vegas set in 2013. Of the nearly 29,000 attendees, more than 18% self-identified as having some level of involvement in the baking and snack industries, making it the largest vertical market represented at the three-day event.
Registrants came to see 2,006 exhibiting companies in 844,510 square feet of exhibit space, both records for the show, and experienced a processing and packaging event like no other. With more than 40 vertical markets represented, Pack Expo and Pharma Expo advanced innovations and the cross-pollination of ideas.
Jim Pittas, senior v.p. of PMMI |
"Technologies and applications often apply across a range of industries, and the sheer scale of our show fostered manufacturers' ability to make the connections that lead to true innovation," said Jim Pittas, senior vice-president, PMMI. "That phenomenon really set the Pack Expo shows apart. The power of Pack Expo brands continues to show consistent growth and provide solid returns for the attendees and exhibitors who support the show."
The constantly bustling Baking & Snack Break Lounge, hosted by the Biscuit & Cracker Manufacturers' Association, served as the key on-floor destination for baking and snack professionals. As the central meeting point, bakers and snack manufacturers networked with experts and peers addressing similar trends and challenges.
The baking and snack industries also took advantage of Pack Expo Las Vegas to further investigate the newly unveiled ProFood Tech. The collaboration of three trade show powerhouses: PMMI; Koelnmesse, known for Anuga; and the International Dairy Foods Association was created as a response to market research that revealed a desire for a dedicated, comprehensive North American food and beverage processing event.
ProFood Tech, projecting 150,000 square feet of exhibit space and more than 700 exhibiting companies, will debut April 4-6, 2017, at McCormick Place, Chicago, and will continue biennially, in odd-numbered years.
"We're off to a great start," Mr. Pittas said. "Exhibiting companies have made it clear they want an event like ProFood Tech, and they're excited by the possibilities the partnership of PMMI, Koelnmesse and I.D.F.A. offers."

In the last several months, our country has seen unprecedented changes in the economy and staggering unemployment rates due to business shutdowns across several sectors. Consequently, many lenders are working with businesses to keep them operational including payroll protection loans and providing payment relief options such as forbearance. According to a recent GlobeSt.com article (4/21/20), there has been an unprecedented surge in requests for payment relief on commercial mortgage-backed securities, an early sign of a pandemic-induced real estate crisis. Additionally, many lenders estimate that up to 50% of loans are in some type of forbearance or deferred payment situation. Based on the estimated volume of loans with some type of modification, the time will soon come when payment relief and loan accommodations will come to a halt and distressed assets will be in danger of foreclosure. An increased frequency of foreclosures in the upcoming months is a reality that many lenders will have to face head on.
When the foreclosure process begins and reality sets in that a distressed asset may soon become a bank-owned asset, the due diligence process begins to look a bit different. In addition to the headache of dealing with a failed loan, having to deal with the property itself and becoming an owner of that property can prove an even bigger headache. Performing thorough due diligence at the pre-foreclosure stage is critical. In fact, the due diligence a lender completes at this stage should go above and beyond what was completed during the origination of the loan. What should this enhanced due diligence look like? The following paragraphs discuss what going above beyond looks like during the pre-foreclosure process.
Pre-Foreclosure Environmental Due Diligence
During origination, limited scope environmental reports such as desktop reviews or environmental transaction screens are often utilized to vet risk. While these tools can be appropriate for low risk property types and/or lower loan amounts or loan-to-value deals as a business decision-making tool, only a full Phase I ESA can vet the property for CERCLA liability protections. This means that if the lender intends to take title to a property – limited due diligence products will not provide CERCLA liability protection in the event contamination is found. Case in point, during the last recession, many lenders found themselves discovering environmental issues that were not discovered in the original limited scope environmental reports when completing more robust investigations (i.e. a full Phase I), which affected their foreclosure decision-making process greatly and also lead to losses.
In a recent CRE Finance World article, Partner performed a study on missed recognized environmental conditions (RECs) on transaction screen assessments (TSAs) that were conducted solely on multifamily properties. This study found that approximately 10% of TSA reports missed a REC that could result in environmental liabilities amounting to over $1 million in investigation, remediation, and regulatory oversight fees. The article also concluded that RECs that may not have been identified by the TSA due to a lack of sufficient information, occurred 60% of the time in the study. Multifamily properties exhibit the lowest risk of commercial real estate properties, as compared to commercial and industrial sites. Therefore, if a TSA or less rigorous environmental due diligence product was used for higher risk property types, the resulting environmental liabilities would likely be far higher, further highlighting the need for thorough and complete due diligence during the foreclosure process.
If any significant amount of time has passed since loan origination, conditions on the property (or surrounding properties) could have changed since the original due diligence was conducted. Properties that store or use hazardous materials that did not have any significant issues initially could have very costly issues when it comes time to foreclose. For example, a gas station with underground storage tanks that had no issues due to their age or condition at the time of assessment, may now have had a release causing soil or groundwater contamination, especially if the facility has sat vacant and has not been maintained. Another example is an industrial facility that used hazardous materials that were in compliance with regulations and did not conduct high risk operations in the past. At foreclosure, the lender is faced with quantifying the hazardous materials on-site and is now responsible for properly disposing of them, which can be costly. There is also the question of maintaining compliance with the operational permits this industrial facility may have had, like air permits, hazardous waste permits, wetlands and storm water permits.
In the hundreds of Phase I ESAs Partner has performed on pre-foreclosure properties on behalf of lender clients, it is not uncommon for the property to exhibit bad housekeeping conditions, or worse, the owner has purposefully created an issue by dumping hazardous materials on site. Disposal of hazardous waste, as well as universal waste like thermostats, fluorescent lightbulbs, and other common building materials can be costly. Materials left on site not only cause more work for the lender, it can impact the value of the property and may even cause a reputational risk.
Construction Considerations
Stalled construction due to lack of funds is one of the more unique challenges a lender can face during foreclosure. This especially comes into play when a developer has run out of funds to complete it. Sometimes these projects are anywhere from 50% to 90% complete and the lender needs to decide what costs are associated with taking over a project midway through. At this point a lender is essentially stepping into a developer's shoes. The solution to this problem is a tool called Cost to Complete to determine not only what it will cost to finish the projects to the original specs, but often times, they are asking for costs to demolish the half built project. This especially comes into play when a project has been sitting for so long that there are damages to the property such as mold growth from exposure to moisture, vandalism, and other damages due to neglect. For construction projects, it is key to have eyes on the property and methods to stabilize the property while it sits vacant to avoid further damage.
Another issue for project sites where only grading has occurred is erosion control, as storm water runoff can be a significant issue that can lead to civil and sometimes criminal liability. Understanding what is required and having Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plans (SWPPPs) and Best Management Practices (BMPs) in place is essential. Often it is best to contact local regulators who are overseeing the project to understand what is involved before considering foreclosure.
Property Condition Issues
Another issue lenders face is taking back a property that has been damaged, either by the owner or because it has sat vacant so long that it has been vandalized. Often the appraisal will alert the lender to such issues; however, in order to get more information on what immediate repairs and maintenance items will be needed on a property, lenders are hiring qualified engineering firms to produce a Property Condition Report.
Of utmost concern during pre-foreclosure Property Condition Assessments are life and safety issues. Once the lender becomes the owner, something as simple as a trip hazard becomes their liability. A Property Condition Report can help identify such issues.
As outlined in a recent GlobeSt article by my colleague Elizabeth Krol, the rapid vacancy orders of the recent COVID-19 pandemic caused additional building condition issues, while also causing mass commercial real estate vacancies throughout the United States. Many buildings were ordered closed with limited notice and without proper decommissioning of building systems. These abrupt closures created a great deal of uncertainty for property owners, including the physical and environmental conditions of their assets. Buildings that were not properly closed or decommissioned, may have issues like mold or other indoor air quality concerns. Although we still do not know the full impact to buildings due to rapid and mass vacancies, lenders should consider COVID risk mitigation in relation to their own liability before they take ownership such as complying with federal, state, and local directives as they become known. One way to mitigate this risk to is to complete a Facility Management Plan that may include checklists for regular building system inspections during the vacancy to ensure that there are no burst pipes, no leaking ASTs (above ground storage tanks) for emergency generators, no rodent issues, and that the HVAC system is set properly to control relative humidity.
Here is a summary of environmental, construction, compliance, and property condition factors to take into consideration when considering foreclosing on, or purchasing, a distressed asset.
Each site is different, and this is not an exhaustive list of physical due diligence that should be done at foreclosure. Discussing these potential concerns up front with your consultant can help you take the right course of action.

Find Out How to Become a Paralegal
Written by admin on May 13th, 2011Learning how to become a paralegal is an important step in making the decision to get your education in this field. A paralegal is a person who works with attorneys. They do not have the same legal degree as an attorney does, but they do work with clients and aid attorneys in various ways. They often conduct research for the attorney. They write legal documents, contracts and reports for attorneys. They also do much of the preparation work for hearings, including important steps such as creating the closings, hearings and handling the documentation for trials. If this sounds like something you want to do, consider the options available to you.
If you are still in high school, and are hoping to work towards getting your degree in this area, start by talking to your guidance counselor. Ask questions about the demand for paralegals in your area. Find out what the local rate of pay in this field is as well as what the requirements in your state are for working with attorneys. Most paralegal students will enroll in specialized courses and degree programs to obtain this education. However, even while you are in high school you can begin taking courses that will work well to help you to get into these schools such as accounting, economics and law courses. Take them if they are available to you.
Next, check out the programs available to you in various colleges and continuing education programs. In some cases, there are work study programs that can help you to get started in this field right out of school. Look to the American Bar Association to ensure that the school you select to get your education from is one that is recognized by the ABA. This accreditation is critical for those who wish to work in this industry. You will need to select a school that is able to teach you to the requirements required by the ABA.
Once you find a school, consider the educational programs available to help you to learn how to become a paralegal. Some programs are just two years and may offer only an associate's degree. However, many people do get a bachelor's degree in paralegal studies. The type of education you receive will define the types of work you can do as well as the value you will be to an attorney who hires you. A bachelor's level degree is often the most recommended option for paralegal students, though many will continue on even to earn their attorney's degree in the future.
Once you find the school you want to enroll in, work through the educational programs the school requires to earn your degree. This process takes up to four years. After you complete the program, you will need to sit for an exam administered by the National Association of Legal Assistants. This allows you to legally work in this area of the field. It is a requirement that you do get this level of education before you are able to work in this field, but the type of exam as well as the type of subjects required to learn to achieve this will differ from one state to the next.
That is not all you need to do to learn how to become a paralegal, though. Many people who obtain this education will then spend some time working towards an apprenticeship or taking an entry level position in an attorney's office until the individual can obtain the necessary experience to work towards becoming a full time assistant for the attorney. Take the time to find an attorney's office where you have the ability to grow in your education and perhaps become an attorney there, one day.

The application of Sharia (or Islamic) law is on the rise in Britain, raising concerns over the law's consistency with democratic values and its impact on particular groups of citizens, according to a report by Britain's One Law for All Campaign.
One Law for All wants the UK government to eliminate Sharia courts and other legal applications of religious law "and to guarantee equal citizenship rights for all." Among the supporters it lists are writers Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Christopher Hitchens, Richard Dawkins and a host of secular and atheist groups.
"Sharia law is a form of religious dogma and tyranny. It is homophobic, sexist, and anti-democratic," Human Rights Campaigner Peter Tatchell is quoted saying in the report.
Islamic law is implemented in Britain through Sharia Councils and Muslim Arbitration Tribunals (MATs). Sharia Councils are defined as religious bodies that aim to reach an agreement between the parties involved instead of a judgment. MATs, on the other hand, have a legal classification under the Arbitration Act 1996. Their rulings are binding in law, provided participating parties agree beforehand to abide by its decision. Despite this distinction, in practice, Sharia Councils also engage in arbitration and often ask people to sign an agreement to make their decisions binding.
Both Sharia Councils and MATs are criticized for threatening the legal rights of a large section of the British population, namely women and children. For example, in Islam, only men have the right to unilateral divorce and child custody reverts to the father at a preset age. Both these laws are typically upheld in Britain by Sharia Councils and MATs regardless of the specifics of the case.
While the decisions of Sharia courts are often contrary to British law and public policy and can be challenged in a civil court, they rarely are. The reasons for this include women's lack of understanding of English or their rights under British law and pressure and intimidation from the Muslim community.
Discrimination and human rights violations are being further institutionalized in the UK as Sharia courts gain greater approval. In fact, some law firms in the UK now offer Sharia law consultation along with traditional legal representation. Critics maintain that the powers of Sharia courts must be curtailed to stop abuses to the rights of women and children and restore the democratic principle of equality before the law.
Though calls for the implementation of Sharia in the UK currently refer mostly to the widespread use of the civil code in handling family issues, statements from supporters of Sharia in Britain suggest that their ultimate goal is to impose Islam's brutal penal code on British society as well.
"If Sharia law is implemented, then you can turn this country into a haven of peace," said Suhaib Hasan, Secretary General of the Islamic Sharia Council and Spokesperson of the Muslim Council of Britain. "Because once a thief's hand is cut off nobody is going to steal. Once, just only once, if an adulterer is stoned nobody is going to commit this crime at all."

$30,000 Raised for Hero Dog Who Tried to Save Owner from Fire
Carmen, a nine-year-old boxer, has recovered enough to go home with her human uncle after being pulled from the house fire that killed her dad. When she was found, she was lying on top of her dad's face, trying to shield him from the smoke and fire.
The heroine's homecoming is bittersweet for Phil Ledford, whose brother's life was tragically claimed by the February 5th fire that ravaged his Ohio house.
"It'll be tough in that sense, seeing Carmen every day, because she will remind me of Ben," Phil told CNN affiliate WCPO. "But it'll be like having a piece of him around."
First responders said they found Carmen on top of Ben Ledford, blocking his face from the heat and smoke that were taking their toll on both of them. Ben was taken to a hospital, where he later died. Carmen was brought to Care Center Vets in Cincinnati.
A fundraiser was launched and donations began pouring in for the medical treatment of this brave and loyal dog. Over $29,000 has been sent in.
She was suffering from severe lung damage due to smoke inhalation, according to Dr. Daniel Carey. She was kept sedated, but she responded well to the family's visits. They kept them short, however, so she could save up all her energy for physical therapy, which she needs to help her walk again.
Over the weekend Carmen was taken off oxygen support and was eating on her own. On Monday, Phil and family brought her home.
"We still cannot find the words to truly express how much we appreciate the support we've received from everyone for Ben, the family and for Carmen," the fundraiser page says. "If it hadn't been for the vet who rescued Carmen, the Care Center and the support and donations from friends, family and pet lovers from around the world, we would not have been able to provide Carmen with the level of care that has allowed her to walk out of the hospital today."
CARMEN UPDATE: A very happy day today for Carmen at Care Center. Carmen was able to go home tonight to be with her family! We will all miss her sweet, loving face (and kisses), but we are so glad she is able to be home with her family tonight.
Our Critical Care Specialist was able to take Carmen off oxygen support this past weekend. Now, she has been eating on her own and she continues to gain strength through her rehabilitation. She will need to come back to have a few re-check appointments with our Specialist as she continues to heal and recover, but she is now strong enough to continue her road to recovery at home. Thank you to everyone for being a part of her recovery, her healing, and her journey home.

Registration is open for the free, virtual Bringing Back the Natives Garden Tour, now in its seventeenth year. For the second time, this award-winning, annual tour of East Bay native plant gardens will take place entirely online, on four Sundays in April and May: April 25, May 2, May 16, and May 23, from 10 am to 3 pm each day.
The tour will feature a fascinating and inspiring talk by ecologist Doug Tallamy (more on that below), 27 beautiful native plant gardens from throughout Alameda and Contra Costa counties, a Q&A session with each garden host, nursery tours (including our chapter's own Native Here Nursery on April 25, 1:30-2 pm), garden design and plant selection sessions, and much more. The tour will be held on Zoom and YouTube, and participants can submit live questions and share their own insights with others. Join all days or tune in to the sessions that interest you most. No matter if you're just getting started with native plant gardening or an old hand, you'll leave this tour more knowledgeable and inspired.
Don't miss the kick-off on April 25 with ecologist Doug Tallamy—it will change how you garden. Tallamy is the author of several books about the relationship between native plants and wildlife and makes a convincing case that native plant gardening is critical to help sustain and restore our native insect and bird populations. And it's not a dry, somber talk. Tallamy's caterpillar close-up photos alone are worth watching the presentation, and he's very entertaining and engaging.
Click here to sign up and to view the full event schedule. To see last year's Bringing Back the Natives Garden Tour recordings, check out the videos on the tour's YouTube channel, and follow the tour on Facebook for updates, seasonal garden tips, and more.

Medical researchers at the University of Arkansas have found a way to reduce dramatically the time needed to diagnose tuberculosis. The new method, which involves analysing genetic material found in tuberculosis cells, will enable laboratories to diagnose TB in just 36 hours, instead of upto four weeks that it takes now. This would allow for an early start to treatment and the saving of many lives.
