Investing in real estate is a goal for many people. Investing in real estate is also a very complicated and risky business. You can get yourself into a huge mess if you do not know what you are doing. I created this guide to help beginning investors learn about real estate. There many types of real estate, types of investing, and strategies. There is no one best way to invest in real estate, but there may be a best way for you to start investing in real estate and hopefully this guide helps you with that.
Real Estate Investing for Beginners Introduction – How to Invest in Real Estate
Real estate investing is a very broad term that encompasses renting out properties, flipping houses, wholesaling properties, and much more. You can also invest in either commercial real estate or residential real estate. There are a variety of investment properties available, including single-family homes, multi-family apartment buildings, condos, retail space, office buildings, college rentals, and so on. Whether you are an amateur or seasoned real estate investor, you may be wondering which type of property is best. Over the last four years, I have written over 450 articles on real estate investing and recorded close to 100 podcasts that cover just about every topic. I am a real estate agent and investor who both owns rentals and flips houses (my goal is to flip 30 houses in 2017). This guide will give a broad overview of the different ways to invest in real estate. In this post, I'll cover what to watch out for and include links to detailed articles covering each subject.
What are the common ways to invest money in real estate?
There are many ways to make money in real estate, but I feel that rental properties best fit the term 'real estate investing.' Wholesaling properties and flipping houses can generate a lot of money, but those approaches feel more like a job. Rental properties keep producing income for years, while flips and wholesales are done producing once you sell them. Read on for more detailed descriptions and links to even more information.
How to invest in rental properties
The basic idea of a rental property is that it makes you money through cash flow and potential appreciation. Cash flow is the money you make from the rent that comes in after paying all expenses. The expenses may include taxes, insurance, allowances for maintenance and vacancies, HOA dues, and mortgage payments. If you buy rentals below market value (which is a huge advantage of real estate) you can make money as soon as you buy the property. You can also buy properties that need work or are poorly managed and improve them to make more money. I don't like to count on appreciation to for income generation, but it is a nice bonus if market values go up. The tough thing with rentals is not every market is ideal for them. Usually the more expensive the housing market, the harder it is to find good rentals. Below you can find many more links on rentals:

How to invest in real estate by flipping houses
The idea behind flipping is simple. You buy a house, fix it up, and sell it for a profit. However, executing a successful flip is quite difficult. There are many expenses that must be accounted for, such as financing costs, carrying costs (utilities, insurance, taxes, HOA fees), buying costs, and selling costs. Repairs are only part of the cost of a flip. Finding houses that are cheap enough to flip is not easy either. There is a lot of competition for flips, but you can find deals through MLS, auctions, wholesalers, for-sale-by-owners, and through direct marketing. I love flipping houses, and in 2018 alone, I've had anywhere from 12 to 22 flips going at once. Here are some additional links that provide more information on flipping:

- Podcast how to flip houses
You can see almost all of my flips before and after videos on my Youtube page as well.
How to invest in real estate by wholesaling properties
Wholesaling a property is when a real estate investor buys a house or gets it under contract, but instead of keeping or fixing it up, they sell it to another investor. It is possible to wholesale properties without using your own money to buy the property. One way is to get the house under contract and then assign that contract to another investor who will actually buy the house. Another way to wholesale houses is to use a double close. The first investor buys the house on the same day that they sell it to another investor. Some title companies will let the first investor use the money from the second sale to pay the original seller. Wholesaling is often taught as an easy way to make money in real estate without using your own money, but it is not easy and you will need some money up front. Following are links to more detailed articles:

- Podcast How to wholesale houses.
How to make money in real estate agent by being an agent
Earning income as a real estate agent is not considered real estate investing, but it is closely related. I have been an agent for over 15 years, and being an agent helps my investing tremendously. You can also make a lot of money as an agent, and it may be easier to get started as an agent than as a wholesaler. Below you will find more information that explains how to become an agent and covers the ins-and-outs of the job:

What are the different types of real estate property you can invest in?
There are many ways to invest in real estate and there are many types of real estate available. Residential, single-family homes are the easiest to understand, buy, and sell. Most beginners start with single-family homes and then move on to larger projects. Some investors love single-family homes and stick with them their entire career, and a few investors start off with the big projects first. Following is more detailed information about the property types available.
Single-family homes
Single-family homes (SFRs) are meant for one family to and can be attached or detached. An example of an attached home is one side of a duplex, and an example of a detached home is a house on its own. Single-family homes are typically easier to obtain financing for, easier to buy due to greater inventory, and easier to sell because both investors and owner-occupants purchase them. I like single-family homes as rentals because tenants usually pay all the utilities and take care of the yard. The tenants are also higher quality and houses tend to appreciate more.
- Should you invest in single-family or multifamily homes?
- Why I invest in single-family properties.
- Podcast How to sell single family portfolios.
Condos or townhouses
Condos or townhouses are similar to single-family houses, but they are part of a complex. The complex will have a homeowners association that takes care of parts of the property and may pay some utilities as well. Condos and townhouses will have attached neighbors. The HOA will usually maintain the exterior of the building while the property owners maintain the interior. Condos and townhouses can be decent investments, but you have to watch out for the HOA fees, and they tend to appreciate more slowly than single-family homes. Patio homes are a cross between single-family houses and condos. Patio homes have an HOA that takes care of the yards and sometimes the exterior maintenance, but the house is usually detached.
Multifamily apartments
Multifamily properties can be great rentals or can be flipped. A multifamily property is any property with more than one unit. It could be a duplex where the owner owns both sides of the property, or it could be a 300 unit apartment building. Many investors love multifamily properties because there are many units under one roof. This can cut down on maintenance costs, but multifamily properties often have higher maintenance, utility, and vacancy costs. Some multifamily properties offer a lot of opportunity for increased value through repairs and rent increases. The properties are valued based on the income they produce.
- How to invest in multifamily properties
- Podcast what is the best investment?
College rentals
College rentals can be single-family properties, condos, or multifamily apartments, but they are primarily rented to college students. College rentals can produce higher rents but also come with more maintenance and tenant turnover.
Vacation homes
Vacation rentals often look awesome on paper because they are rented for a lot of money each week or month. However, seasons can play a huge part in the amount of rental income realized. Management fees can also be much higher than a typical rental. A lot of people want a vacation rental because they will save money on vacations for themselves. But remember, you will be losing rent if you use the rental yourself, and you might feel obligated to go to the same place over and over.
Commercial real estate
I should not lump all commercial properties into one category, but I am going to do it anyway. Commercial investing can be very complicated and is probably not the best place to start for most beginners. There are many different types of commercial real estate, from retail space to office space to industrial space to raw land. Commercial leases can be very complicated and extremely different from residential leases. However, there is some opportunity to add value to commercial properties that are not utilized correctly or under rented. With that said, I am starting to move toward commercial properties more than residential for my rentals, but remember this is a much more complicated arena.
Many real estate investors make a lot of money buying and selling land. I bought and sold a large piece of land in 2016 that I thought about developing into a subdivision. There are many other ways to make money with land and I have interviewed many land investors on my podcast.
Mobile homes
Mobile homes are not my area of expertise, but again, I have interviewed many people who are experts in that area. When you invest in mobile home parks, you own the land—and sometimes the mobile homes. People rent both the land from you as well as the mobile home. Also, mobile home parks are not built anymore, and there is an opportunity to make money on mismanaged or under-rented parks.
How much money you need to invest in real estate
One of the most common questions I get about investing in real estate is how much money do you need? The answer to that question all depends on what type of investing you are doing, where you are buying properties, and what kind of loans you are using.
If you are buying rentals as an investor, you will have to put at least 20 percent down. However, it is possible to buy properties as an owner occupant and then turn them into a rental property with much less money down.
When flipping houses, it is possible to start with less money if you have a partner or find an awesome lender. It will take some initial investment on your part if you are a beginner trying to flip houses, that is unless you have awesome skill with finding deals or fixing houses. There are a lot of lenders who will finance part of the purchase price repairs on flips.
When wholesaling houses, you won't need much startup capital, but you will need some. Most wholesalers find deals through direct marketing, which means you have to spend money on mailings, driving, etc. You won't have to put 20 percent down on a house, but you will need at least a couple hundred dollars and a lot of effort.

- How to invest in real estate with no money.
- How to buy rentals with hard money.
- How much money do you need to save before becoming a real estate agent?
What are the different types of loans you can get for real estate investments?
One of the biggest advantages of real estate is that you can get loans to buy properties. There are loans available for flips and rentals, but they are very different. Rental-property loans can be very similar to owner occupant loans, which have terms as long as 30 years. The interest rates are usually a little higher than owner-occupant loans…but not by much.
When flipping houses, the loans are much different. Banks do not like to loan money that will be paid back right away. For flipping loans, the term is usually one year or less and the rates much higher. Hard-money lenders are an option for fix-and-flippers, which allow investors to finance part of the purchase price and repairs.

Why does investing in real estate help reduce taxes?
When flipping houses or wholesaling real estate, you usually pay taxes just as you would with a normal job. If you set up a business with a corporation, your taxes could be much different, but I am not an accountant and cannot provide specific tax advice.
Rental properties provide awesome tax advantages. When you own rentals, you can deduct many expenses, including the interest you pay on the mortgage. You can also depreciate improvements and the value of the structure of the property. Because you can depreciate the value of the structure, you can actually make money with rentals yet realize a loss on your taxes. If you ever want to sell your properties, you usually only pay the long-term capital gains tax rate, which is much lower than ordinary income. You can also use a 1031 exchange to defer taxes.

What do all these real estate terms and abbreviations mean?
There are a lot of real estate investing terms that many people are not familiar with. I created a glossary to help everyone, and I cover everything from the more unknown terms to the more common.
How to protect yourself when investing in real estate
Many people get hung up on starting a corporation before they start to invest. Should you create an LLC? Should you start a corporation? Sometimes the best thing to do is start investing and then if you enjoy investing and want to continue, figure out the corporate structure later.

Why do so many people think real estate investing is risky?
When you begin to think about investing, you will be bombarded by people who swear it is the most dangerous thing you could ever do and will tell you-you're sure to lose all your money. Real estate investing is risky, just like any investment, but if you do things right, it is not nearly as risky as many people think. Most of the people telling you how awful real estate is have most likely never invested themselves.

- Podcast what are the biggest mistakes I have made?
What should you know about real estate investing courses and training?
There is a lot of great online information about real estate investing. There are also a lot of shady characters looking to make money off of unsuspecting beginners. You will find hundreds, if not thousands, of real estate courses. The courses range from a couple hundred dollars to over $50,000! When you hear those advertisements for free seminars and lunch, those are the $50,000 seminars.
I have my own real estate investing courses and books as well. I make my books affordable in order to reach as many people as possible. I encourage people to read my books before they pay for any courses that I offer to make sure real estate investing is really what they want to do. You can find my books below, which are all available as paperbacks or as eBooks on Amazon. A few are even in audiobook format.

What's the deal with all the real estate reality television shows and how accurate are they?
If you think real estate investing is anything like what it is on television, you are in for a surprise. Most of the shows that portray real estate investors, house buyers, or real estate agents are made for entertainment. They are highly inaccurate and leave a lot to be desired.
What about me? Why should I be trusted and what do I invest in?
As I mentioned, there are a lot of real estate coaches and programs out there. I pride myself on being someone who teaches and is active in the business today. If you are curious about me, I have 14 rentals, have flipped over 120 houses, have 6 licensed agents on my real estate team, and have published numerous best-selling books. In 2017, I plan to flip 30 houses, which I think makes me very active in today's market. Many of the people pushing programs online stopped investing years ago and only focus on teaching.
What are some other ways to invest in real estate?
I have covered a lot of information in this guide, but I really only scratched the surface. There are many more ways to invest in real estate, and I have included some of them below.
- How to invest in tax liens.
- How to invest in real estate notes.
- How to invest in real estate with private money.

I am also a huge car nut and have written about how real estate helped me buy a couple of pretty cool cars.

The Effects Of Termite Damage – Termites feed on the cellulose that is naturally found in wood, and can cause serious structural damage to a building. These pesky insects nest in the earth and cause damage to wood found closer to the ground. In homes and buildings, the damage caused by a termite infestation can be destructive and can be very expensive if not treated as soon as possible. If action is not taken immediately, the damage caused will gradually become worse and the affected structure will eventually become unsalvageable.
Subterranean Termite Damage
The effect of termite damage causes the woods overall integrity and reliability to become compromised. Only about a centimeter in length, these tiny pests can be subtle and relatively unnoticeable as they destroy the infested building. Every year, the damage caused by termite infestations is more than $100 million dollars. As deforestation occurs, termites have to take flight in search of alternative food sources.
The Effects Of Termite Damage And Solution You Have To Do
Since they are unable to determine or recognize the difference in food sources, anything that contains or has been built from wood can be an enticing meal. Because they eat cellulose, their diet has been known to include important papers, money, books, and furniture. Pool liners and filters have also been damaged. If it's made of paper or wood, it can be assumed that they will feast on it causing irreversible damage. Feasting on the wood of a building or a home can cause the wood to weaken. They can cause drywall to start crumbling, and as they slowly eat away at door frames and window sills, eventually the damage caused will in turn make the building or structure uninhabitable.
The effects of termite damage to a wooden structure can go undetected for many years before it is noticed. Once wood is exposed, the wood that has been affected will look and appear deteriorated. Tiny tubes are used to travel along and around the exterior walls and are visible along the wood grain. Moisture in the area may also be present, because it encourages the termites to move in. If damage like this is detected, or any other noticeable signs of an infestation are noticed, a termite control specialist should be contacted immediately. A single termite colony takes about five years to become mature and can contain any number of workers, including a queen which can live up to twenty five.

SunCentral Completes First European Installation,
Brings Natural Sunlight to Canadian Embassy in Berlin
- Previously Shaded by a Taller Structure, 20 SunBeamers Were Installed to Deliver Natural, Full-Spectrum Sunlight to the Timber Hall
- The SunBeamers Autonomously Track the Sun and Reflect Glare-Free Natural Light into Building Interiors Using a Series of High-Precision, Low-Cost Optics
August 27, 2014 08:00 AM Eastern Daylight Time
VANCOUVER–(BUSINESS WIRE)–SunCentral today announced the completion of its first international project, having successfully installed 20 SunBeamers™ to bring natural sunlight to Timber Hall at the Canadian Embassy in Berlin, Germany.
SunCentral's SunBeamers bring full-spectrum natural sunlight to previously inaccessible interiors of buildings, without significantly altering building design. Using state-of-the-art optics to capture and bend sunlight, SunCentral is able to redirect natural light into almost any building structure.
"As part of the overall Embassy facility, Timber Hall is an iconic and unique architectural structure and a beautiful space graced with an overhead skylight, but the height of the structure and the shade of surrounding buildings at times created a dark atmosphere," said Guthrie Cox, CEO of SunCentral. "We were pleased to be able to design a solution that helps shine constant and even daylight into Timber Hall, creating a remarkable experience with this world-class technology. It was a perfect project to mark our entrance into the international market, especially given the significant importance of energy conservation objectives in Europe and how our product can help contribute towards these ambitions."
SunCentral designed and installed a solution that provides greater sunlight into Timber Hall, which is approximately 60 feet tall and shaded by a 10-story building that blocks the sun and casts a considerable amount of shade throughout the year. The approach was to install 20 SunBeamers on the rooftop of the adjacent building to capture and track all available sunlight and beam it into the lower Timber Hall structure. This has doubled the light levels of the building from 250 lux to 500 lux, and at a consistent level while sunlight is available.
About SunCentral
SunCentral is the leading supplier of premium lighting and sunlighting products for retail, healthcare, office and education facilities. Formed in 2008, SunCentral is headquartered in Santa Clara, Calif., with additional offices in Vancouver and Los Angeles. For more information, visit www.suncentralinc.com. Follow us @SunCentral.

Animal Studies Bibliography
Lawrence, Elizabeth A. 1991. Animals in war: History and implications for the future. Anthrozoos 4(3): 145-153.
Humans have used animals in war throughout history, and few even today consider this practice immoral. Animals are thus forced to suffer the privations and pain of war despite their total uninvolvement with its causes, and they serve in this capacity loyally and until death, forging a strong bond with humans that was nearly always broken by the humans, not the animals. The major animal used in war is the horse, used in cavalry attacks and to carry supplies, ammunition, and wounded soldiers. Some horses receive recognition for their service and are brought back home with soldiers for loving care; most, however, are considered expendable, and those not dead are sold for (often abusive) use by other owners. Mules have also been widely used, valuable for their hardiness, calm, and stoicism (147) in ensuring the safe delivery of soldiers and ammunition over treacherous terrain. Dogs are another widely used animal, and they have been used in a variety of ways: trained to fight in battle, or as suicide dogs carrying bombs, messengers and pack animals, mine detectors, guards, trackers, pest controllers, and rescue dogs. Messenger pigeons, valuable for their homing function which we do not fully understand, have been crucial in keeping communication between fronts going. Other species used have included falcons, sea gulls, glow worms, spiders, bats, canaries, mice, cats, garden slugs, monkeys, guinea pigs, rabbits, rats, pigs, oxen, camels, reindeer, elephants, and various native animals. These species have been used for guidance in the dark, to produce strong fibers, to test the effects of radiation burns, as pack animals, to detect poison gas in the atmosphere, to deliver bombs, and to detect enemy presence, among other things. One of the most important aspects of animals' presence in wartime is the inspiration and comfort (149) soldiers have derived from them. Soldiers have reported lifted spirits from experiencing wildlife in the field (e.g. hearing bird singing along the front), from close bonds with animals they are working with, and from mascots brought from home or adopted along the way. Mascots have served to boost morale, remind soldiers of home or of country (when the animal represented the homeland, like a kangaroo for an Australian brigade), create group solidarity by wearing the group's colors and creating a friendly atmosphere among a bunch of strangers, provide a pleasant diversion, and bring good luck. Modern technology has not eliminated the use of animals. Dogs are used widely in the war on drugs and a storm of protest occurred in 1989 when Israeli troops used dogs to gas guerrilla shelters. Dolphins are now used by the navy to detect submarines, guard bases, and other tasks the nature of which we are unsure of because they are classified. There have been discussions of using insect armies in a war effort as well. These animal uses must be of special concern now because any such action may affect the ecosystem not only locally but globally (as, for example, in the poisoning of Northern reindeer from Chernobyl fallout or of penguins in Antarctica from industrial countries' pollutions). This danger is all the more reason for use to recognize the immorality of using animals in our battles. It is worthy of note that the cognitive abilities of animals that are often denied in other contexts are taken for granted in military use, where animals are used precisely because they are in many ways superior to human beings' skills. Animals used in these context show loyalty not just to humans but also to others of their own kind, making hem even more remarkable. There is considerable ambivalence toward animals in the military--they are valued but also often considered expendable. Military people have also bombed flamingo nesting areas, used killer whales for target practice, and other abusive practices, as well as using life animals for training how to deal with gunshot wounds, despite no evidence that this improves care. All of these uses of animals in the military must be reevaluated and our great debt to animals for their sacrifices in our wars must be acknowledged.

That brought her to the U.S. to pursue an acting career both onstage and in movies and television. She got the sexy role of Lucy in Dracula (1979), but her career didn't take off until she got on the Al Pacino/Michelle Pfeiffer vehicle Frankie and Johnny (1991).

The campaign, created by Primedia Communications, Atlanta, will run through the year.
Ads will run in all Nascar-licensed media during the 1998 racing season. Most Nascar-controlled inventory in TV, radio, print and online properties will be devoted to the branding initiative; the value of that time and space is estimated at more than $100 million.
TV spots will air during the 90 race broadcasts carried by Nascar's TV partners. Spots also will air on six daily and weekly Nascar-related programs. Nascar's TV partners include ABC, CBS, ESPN, ESPN2, SpeedVision, Superstation TBS and The Nashville Network.
Nascar's other media resources include the Motor Racing Network, consisting of 600 radio affiliates; eight licensed publications; and Nascar Online (http://www.nascar.com).
The campaign will mirror the quarterly promotional calendar of Nascar's 50th anniversary marketing plan. The first quarter of the 1998 season focuses on history, then great drivers and rivalries, then the sport's close association with country music. Fans are the theme of Nascar's fourth-quarter focus.
"The image campaign is designed to capture the essence of Nascar," said Mark Johnson, Primedia's president.
"There has never been an integrating marketing effort and never a cooperative marketing effort among Nascar sponsors," noted George Pyne, VP-licensing and consumer products, who added, "We have plans to do the same thing in 1999."
In 1998, the 20-plus sponsors and 40 licensees linked to the 50th anniversary have had to negotiate their own ad buys with Nascar media outlets. Coca-Cola Co. and General Motors Corp.'s Pontiac brand will each spend between $5 million and $10 million on Nascar TV and print media.
Also making sizable media commitments: Action Performance Products, Anheuser-Busch, McDonald's Corp. and True Value Hardware.
Nascar is using the 50th anniversary to build long-term relationships with national retailers for its burgeoning consumer products business. Nascar is negotiating with J.C. Penney Co.; Kmart Corp.; Sears, Roebuck & Co.; and National Auto Parts Association's NAPA products to create 50th anniversary-concept shops.
Other, non-licensed media outlets are looking to capitalize on Nascar's 50th anniversary next year as well. Time Inc.'s Sports Illustrated, for example, plans a special issue devoted to the anniversary that will hit stands Jan. 26.

Managing Principal, CC&C Solutions
The latest Open Group member spotlight focuses on Vish Viswanathan, Managing Principal of C C & C Solutions.
Q: How long have you been involved with The Open Group?
Q: Why did you become a member, and what does your involvement look like?
I have been involved in several Forums over the years, but The Open Group Architecture Forum has been my primary focus. We were the local partner/regional champion for The Open Group in the Australian region for more than five years and personally, I was the Vice Chair of The Architecture Forum for five years until 2006. I have participated in several projects of the Architecture Forum including pioneering the TOGAF® People and Tools Certifications efforts in 2004/5. Over the years, I have presented in several Open Group Conferences on a variety of topics, and exhibited our products and services in several of them. Above all, I have developed excellent personal relationships with The Open Group staff and members globally.
Q: How has membership in The Open Group benefited you, your organization and the industry at large?
My organization has gained global businesses from several Fortune 500 organizations as a result of our involvement in The Open Group, and I have been fortunate to be recognized personally for my EA efforts globally using The Open Group platform.
I see The Open Group as a unique organization firmly committed to business-focused IT, in a multi-vendor, multi-product world wherein a variety of options exist and the pressures to make the right choices and decisions can be extremely daunting for many IT users. Its contribution is very valuable, and in fact, crucial to the IT world, as it is getting more complex and business demands on IT are increasing all the time.
Q: What contributions to The Open Group is you most proud of?
Q: Why is it important for other organizations to join The Open Group?
To product and solution vendors, involvement offers a fantastic opportunity to communicate and collaborate with users, other vendors, and the academic and research communities in an open and friendly environment
To small and medium entrepreneurs, like ourselves, it offers a world of opportunities, otherwise impossible to reach through any other channels; and it provides a level playing field for us searching for new business alongside global vendor giants.
Q: What are your hobbies?
Q: What book are you currently reading?
Q: Any last thoughts?

Series: Great Campaigns of the American Civil War
Scenario: The Maryland Campaign, Scenario #7 [Updated via the Skirmisher #2 rules]
Participants: Jim "HeavyD" D, Myself
Time: Fri, 8/5 ~ 6.30PM - 9.00PM
HeavyD and I picked up on turn 6 (Sept 9th) for this evenings session of HCR. HeavyD had just laid siege to Harpers Ferry the prior turn while Longstreet's Corps was running around Frederick County destroying bridges and rail road stations. Rain had also slowed my advance down to 3-4 hexes per Corps on the prior turn. With most of Jackson's Corps involved in besieging Harpers Ferry, I have hope of catching elements of Longstreet's Corps spread out and in some cases still out of supply.
The night opens with Union Commitment (the third thus far) for the random event. We jump right into the action rounds forgetting to roll on the Harpers Ferry surrender table. We do this around the third action and HeavyD rolls an eleven, the garrison surrenders. Neither one of us was expecting this. With this event, all of the garrison forces, 16SP are removed from the map and VPs are awarded for their loss (+16VP), also HeavyD can destroy the Depot for another 10VP which he does this turn.
Jackson starts heading East as HeavyD decides to make a stand on the Monocacy River with Longstreet's Corp. At the start of the turn most of my Infantry divisions are 8-12 hexes from this line. The turn plays our quickly with HeavyD winning nearly all of the early action rounds, thus he's able to position his units behind the bridges and fords well in advance of any of my units even getting close to the scene. He also starts to destroy bridges across the River. Soon he is passing and I am now able to move the bulk of my units.
|Start of Turn 7
Turn 7 opens with Jackson bringing two of his divisions over along the Potomac leaving AP Hill back in Harpers Ferry. Longstreet's Corps is slowly getting into position behind the Monocacy. HeavyD has a few divisions that are still out of supply as well. The turn goes fairly quickly and is again very much HeavyD getting most of the early activations and leisurely getting in position largely before I have moved. Eventually he starts passing and I move the bulk of my Army closer to the Monocacy River line. Interestingly we roll for early end the turn three times, with the turn ending on the third check (if we both roll 1's on our action round roll, one player rolls a 2nd d6, if this comes up a 1 or 2 the turn ends right there).
|Start of turn 8
Turn 8 opens with a small chance for me. If I can string 2-3 action rounds together in a row and then get good march rolls, I feel like I can cross in front of HeavyD's units north of Frederick. I have Reno and Hookers Corps up North and they have been marching very well. The rest of my army is grouped up in the center with Sigel's 11th Corp in the South along with Sykes division from the 5th Corps. HeavyD has been busy burning bridges and breaking off units to man all the crossing sites.
|Reno and Hooker's failed bid to cross the Monocacy River
We start off and HeavyD gets the first few action rounds, which has been the theme for this evening. He is able to break off another unit and cover all the good sites. The fords that he leaves open are usually open ground adjacent to a large one of his division, not a good idea for me to try a crossing in those conditions. I finally get a couple of activations and Reno rolls average for MPs, thus he's not going to try and make an attempt at crossing. Hooker gets the next action round and he rolls well, catching up with Reno's Corps. Then we both roll 1's for initiative and a subsequent 1 ends the turn. Wow!
|Ending positions, Turn 8
As its getting late and the next turn will likely be a long one, we decide to call it an evening. Not a lot of excitement tonight, but the tension is mounting. I have to find away across the Monocacy (how on earth is that pronounced?) in order to push him out of the county. Soon the VP's he's getting for being there will go up. HeavyD has 54VP's at the end of this turn, just 30 short of a victory. We should be back at it next week.

Play North Dakota Geology Bingo (blank card linked below). Have the students fill in the blank boxes with geology words provided. Shuffle the vocabulary cards with the definitions for the caller to use. The caller will select a card, read the definition, and the students will place a marker on the word that matches the definition. When BINGO is called, the student must read the word and give the definition before it is counted.
Have students create a North Dakota geology board game using the North Dakota geology questions provided.
Have students play these games using questions from the text: BINGO, Jeopardy, Wheel of Fortune, Trivial Pursuit, etc. The following site is a wonderful site with templates, directions, and examples of Jeopardy, Who Wants To Be A Millionaire, or Hollywood Squares using PowerPoint. Possible categories: Geologic Eras; Geologic Periods; Dinosaurs; Glacial Effects or Remains; Rocks, Minerals, Fossils, Deposits.
Have students list the major geological eras of North Dakota and give characteristics of each.
Have students graph, chart, or create a timeline for the major geological eras of North Dakota from oldest to most recent.
Geological Era Timeline Rubric
Students can illustrate dinosaurs from the Mesozoic Era and describe each in detail either in writing or orally to another classmate. (Note: One student could describe the dinosaur while the other student draws what is being described)
Have students illustrate and describe the mammals present during the Tertiary Period or the "Age of Mammals."
Have students write and perform puppet shows, slide shows (electronic or hand created), TV shows, etc., teaching about each of the geological eras of North Dakota.

Reflect on the causes of extinction of dinosaurs. This could also be used as a debate topic.
Have students create poetry corresponding to the North Dakota Studies unit they are studying:
Couplets (two-line stanza that rhymes).
Triplets (three-line poems). A triplet may be written in the shape of a triangle and can be read by starting at any corner.
Diamanté (Diamond)
ABC Poetry (Start with A and go through the alphabet writing a word for each letter. You may make several sentences, but the information should be about North Dakota.)
Acrostic Poems (The first letters of the line spell out a word that has something to do with the poem.)
Lanterns (Japanese poem that is written in the shape of a Japanese lantern).
Using the colored Prehistoric Life of North Dakota map provided and/or the Internet site below, have students select an animal found on the map, compare the fossil remains with the actual animal, research that animal, illustrate or create a replica of it, and either write a report, create a poster with the appropriate information provided, write a nonfiction book about the selected animal, or provide another means of demonstrating knowledge for the selected animal.
North Dakota Geological Survey
Children's Literature Checklist
Students can define, list, describe, and/or categorize fossils found in North Dakota.
Have students research surface mining of lignite coal and graphically organize the steps in mining lignite coal in North Dakota.

Have students use the geology vocabulary included in this packet to create word games, word searches, mazes, crack the code, etc. These can be created by subscribing to site below. This site grants you the right to reproduce as many worksheets as needed for noncommercial, individual, or classroom use.
Students can take any geology vocabulary word and create as many words as possible using only the letters found in that word (e.g., glaciers = ice, race, glare, slice, etc.).
Students can create a rap song or a jingle which could be used to teach others about the geology of North Dakota. Use the vocabulary and definitions provided. Good tunes to use for a jingle include: "Row, Row, Row Your Boat," "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star," etc. However, students can create their own tune with songs they are familiar with.
Have students write each word 2–3 times with each hand. (These are strong activities as they promote greater brain activity and concentration.)
Have students compose a fiction/nonfiction story using North Dakota geological vocabulary.
Children's Literature Checklist
Have students write each word (cursive) at least three times.

Tuesday, October, 14th, 2014 Safety Alerts Safety Alerts - Medford
Recent Property Thefts
The Tufts University Police Department (TUPD) wants to advise all Tufts community members that thefts of valuable electronic devices – one cell phone and four laptop computers –increased rapidly over this past weekend.
In the most recent incidents reported to police, one cell phone and one laptop were reported stolen from a fraternity on campus, while two laptops were reported taken from two sororities on campus. Another laptop was reported taken from a Tufts community member's off-campus address on College Avenue.
The common element in these thefts is that all but one took place while the residences were occupied by several guests, some of whom may not have been invited or were not known to residents.
Tufts Police strongly advises Tufts community members to be vigilant about whom you allow into your homes and living spaces. Restrict access to known, trustworthy guests only. Secure valuables, especially highly portable devices such as cell phones and laptops, within your living spaces, especially when entertaining. Keep your doors and windows locked, even when you are at home.
Assure that you have installed and enrolled tracking software on your cell phone or laptop by contacting your service provider. In the event that your device is lost or stolen, please contact TUPD who can assist you in utilizing your tracking software.
Immediately report suspicious persons or activity to the police by dialing 911 or Tufts Police at 617-627-6911. Suspicious activity may include:
• Wandering through backyards, around houses or inside hallways
• Checking for unlocked doors
• Climbing in windows
• Carrying possibly stolen items out of homes or loading them into a vehicle
• Knocking on doors and appearing lost or soliciting work if someone answers the door
• Is inside the residence acting as an invited guest, yet no one knows who he or she is
• While inside the residence is observed looking in rooms away from areas of socialization, feigning being lost
Always close and lock doors and windows regardless of the time of day. If you choose to open your windows due to warm weather, consider using window stops to prevent easy access.
If you are going on vacation:
• Don't post notes about your vacation on Facebook or other social media sites until after you return. Some burglars use these sites to identify "safe" targets.
• Don't leave obvious signs that your house is unoccupied. Lights on timers are a great first step. Stop the mail and newspaper delivery, or have a neighbor pick them up for you. Arrange for lawn care as needed. Don't leave notes on your door.
• Make it hard to get into your house. Install good locks, and keep in mind that your hidden outdoor key is probably not as cleverly hidden as you think it is. Get to know your neighbors, and leave the key with them instead. Let them know you'll be gone, and have them keep an eye out during your absence. If you have an alarm system, remember to activate it.
• Park a car in the driveway, but be sure to remove your garage door opener first.
• Protect against computer theft. For most of us having our computer stolen is devastating. So, back up your files and be sure to password protect all your computers and mobile devices.
• Make a quick run-through of the house with a video recorder, documenting valuables. Making an electronic record of your property could save a lot of frustration with your insurance company if you should need to file a claim.
• Make sure your insurance policy is up to date. Take the added precaution of labeling your possessions with your name. An engraver is best, but a Sharpie is better than nothing.
Taking simple steps like these will improve your peace of mind and make your getaway that much more relaxing.
Do not approach people deemed suspicious. Always report suspicious persons or activity to the police by dialing 911 or Tufts Police at 617-627-6911.

Kedge v. Aabo & Safeway, President of the District Court of the Hague, The Netherlands, 5 August 2010, Case No. KG ZA 10-721
In its decision d.d. 10 March 2010 (which can be read here), the Court of the Hague ruled that the "fall protections" manufactured by Safeway did not infringe upon Kedge's European patent EP 1 699 991, for a safety device for a fall restraint. Kedge subsequently started preliminary injunction proceedings against Aabo - a distributor of the fall protections manufactured by Safeway - on the basis of a divisional of the '991 patent, i.e. European patent EP 1 803 871 for an object provided with a safety device for a personal fall protection. Safeway joined Aabo in the proceedings.
In its decision d.d. 5 August 2010, the President of the District Court of the Hague ruled that the litigious fall protections did infringe upon Kedge's '871 divisional. According to the President, a crucial limitation of the claims of the '991 patent - based on which in the earlier decision it was held that there was no infringement - was lacking in its '871 divisional. Moreover, the validity attacks against the '871 divisional failed. The President, amongst others, held that the '871 divisional distinguished itself differently from the prior art than the '991 patent. Although the distinguishing feature of the '871 patent was also present in the claims of the '991 patent, it was included there as an intended use, which - following EPO Guidelines - according to the President was not sufficient to provide novelty over the prior art document as long as the skilled man would understand that the product disclosed in the prior art document would be suitable to be used in the same way.
An injunction followed.

This is the second product I chose from BornPretty Store to review. It is the Lomeou waterproof eyeliner pencil in colour number 6. I chose this colour because I thought the bronze olive color would be a unique and eye catching colour to wear on my lower lash line.
This pencil retails for an extremely cheap $3.72 on the website and comes in a wide variety of colours as you can see from the store image below. As always, use my code KIMH10 for a 10% discount on all items!
The pencil came wrapped in plastic and the packaging is simple and functional. It has a mechanical twist application which I prefer for eyeliners because I am too lazy to manually sharpen them!
On the other side there is a sponge smudger which I thought would be convenient for making the liner softer on the lower lash line.
As soon as I swatched the pencil on my hand I knew I was not going to be impressed with this product. The pencil glides on smoothly, but is not pigmented at all. I would say it is at 60% opacity? When I draw over the first layer, it rubs off instead of layering more pigment on because the formula is too greasy. When I rubbed over my hand, the eyeliner smudged! Therefore it is not smudge proof or waterproof, like it claims.
Another issue is that the colour is not close to the store image. It looks more like grey-brown than bronze olive.
I used the pencil to draw a winged liner on the top lash line and on the outer 1/2 of my bottom lash line. I used the smudger on the bottom and found that it was very hard and wiped most of the product away instead of softening the line.
The pretty eyelashes are also from BornPretty and you can find the review here.
Lastly, mere minutes after application, the eyeliner transferred to my eyelid! This almost never happens to me because I have dry skin, so I was quite dismayed. Imagine how this would go on hooded or oily eyelids! I tried setting the eyeliner with eyeshadow, but this made no difference and smudged to a half a cm below my eyes within 1 hour.
Overall, the good points about this eyeliner is the very cheap price and that it is easy to apply. The negatives far outweigh the positives though as the eyeliner is not the same colour as the store swatch, is not pigmented, transfers to my eyelids, is not waterproof nor does it last long.
I would not recommend this product. Hopefully next time I have better luck!
Thank you for reading!

ESPNNewYork.com reported on Friday that Alex Rodriguez's appeal of his 211-game suspension will take place one day after the regular season ends if the Yankees do not make the playoffs.
The hearing, tentatively scheduled for Sept. 30 in front of arbitrator Fredric Horowitz, could be postponed if the Yankees are playing in the postseason because Rodriguez has the right to appear in person.
A decision on reducing Rodriguez's suspension is not expected until after the World Series.
The Yankees third baseman was suspended for his ties to the South Florida anti-aging clinic Biogenesis and for allegedly attempting to interfere with MLB's investigation.
A-Rod would not be paid during a suspension. He is owed $86 million through 2017. Coming in to Friday's game he had hit four home runs in 27 games.

Because biodiesel and green diesel are both made from organic matter, many people think the two are the same. You can't get any further from the truth with such an opinion. One major difference between the two is the manufacturing process. The varying processes lead to major distinctions in the chemical composition of the two fuels. Green diesel resembles petro diesel in its chemical composition. Biodiesel, on the other hand, is an ester with significantly different characteristics.
What is Green Diesel?
Green diesel, also referred to as renewable or second generation diesel, is processed from recently living organisms. There are three processes used to process green diesel; thermal conversion, hydro treatment, and biomass to liquid.
The green diesel process simply aims at removing impurities from the raw material and introducing hydrogen to the chemical structure of the substance. This significantly improves the quality of the fuel. The chemical composition of green diesel is similar to that of petro diesel, even though it is made from organic matter. Using green fuel significantly reduces greenhouse gas emissions, and is more environmentally-friendly compared to biodiesel. Besides, it burns more efficiently and has cleaner emissions.
Green diesel can be used in all diesel engines with no modifications whatsoever. It can also be utilised in high concentrations. With this type of fuel, there is no risk of microbial growth since it is free of impurities. It will, therefore, not cause any damage to the fuel system of an engine.
What is Biodiesel Fuel?
Biodiesel fuel, also known as fatty acid methyl ester (FAME), is also produced from organic matter. The biodiesel fuel source is vegetables, and animal fats and oils. Its production process involves transesterification of fats and oils with methanol or ethanol. Ethanol is commonly used in this process since it is cheap.
Unlike green diesel, the resulting chemical is a mono-alkyl ester. The chemical also contains oxygen atoms, which is not the case with green diesel. Again, unlike green diesel, biodiesel can only be used in diesel engines blended with diesel. This is because it is an ester. Very high concentrations of biodiesel fuel can lead to the damage of fuel systems and can also result in the excessive buildup of carbon in diesel engines. The blend percentage is not uniform across countries, and in the USA for example, diesel-powered vehicles are only allowed to use a 20 percent blend of biodiesel fuel. In Europe, biomass is limited to a maximum concentration of 7 percent.
The use of some biodiesel fuels necessitates frequent maintenance processes and creates a continuous need for oil changes. This does not occur with green energy.
Cold Weather
A major issue with biodiesel fuel is its tendency to freeze at very low temperatures. That means you cannot use it to power your vehicle in winter or other cold periods of the year. The temperature at which biodiesel freezes is also not constant as it depends on the type of oil or fat that was used to process the fuel. Most characteristics of biodiesel in cold weather are measured using the cloud point, the cold filter plugging point, and the pour point.
The pour point is considered to be the lowest temperature at which there is movement in the car's diesel engine. On the other hand, the cold filter plugging point of the fuel is that temperature at which its crystals start clogging the fuel filter plugs and the water pump set. With biodiesels, there is a very small gap between the cold filter plugging point and pour point, and the engine will usually break down at very low temperatures.
On the other hand, green diesel is very high in quality. That means it can withstand very low temperatures without leading to the breakdown of a vehicle. Unlike biodiesel, it can be used in very high concentrations with no risk of damage to the fuel filter plugs of the car.
Engine Performance
Biodiesel fuel offers less energy per unit volume as compared to green diesel. With biodiesel fuel, the engine power is usually around 4 percent lower. In addition, biodiesel has lower fuel efficiency compared to green diesel.
Engine performance with biodiesel is further affected by the deposits and clogging of the engine. This is because many biodiesels are low in quality; and so, get oxygenated very easily. On the other hand, green diesel does not crystallise, and there is, therefore, no risk of clogging the engine.
Although both biodiesel and green diesel are made from organic matter, the two have very different characteristics. Green diesel is better at fuel efficiency and is generally more environmentally-friendly compared to biodiesel. In addition, the engine performs at its peak when running with green diesel. In cold weather, biodiesel fuel tends to freeze, and this leads to the breakdown of the car's engine. Green diesel, being of very high quality, can run even under the lowest of temperatures.
