What Is a Quitclaim Deed?
Deeds are legal instruments in writing used to transfer real estate between parties. There are a few different types of deeds, each with their own purpose in the legal world. The difference between each type of deed is measured in how it deals with the types of warranties the grantor is making to the grantee—that is, the party selling or transferring ownership of the property and the party buying or otherwise receiving ownership of the property, respectively. So, what distinguishes a quitclaim deed from other types of deeds?
What Is a Quitclaim Deed?
A quitclaim deed, unlike other property deed types, offers no warranty for the grantee or buyer, and thus no protection. With a quitclaim deed, the grantor is essentially "quitting" their claim to the property by giving the grantee all of their ownership interest. Of course, this means that if the grantor never had proper ownership of the property to begin with, then the grantee receives nothing.
That may sound risky, and you might ask why anyone would use a quitclaim deed. In fact, there are some good reasons and ideal situations for using a quitclaim deed. Let's explore.
First, it's important to note that there are numerous situations in which the grantee may not need or care about warranties. For example, when a strong bond of trust already exists between the parties (such as a transfer between members of a family) there is little to zero need for a warranty. The grantor may want to put their property into a trust or transfer ownership to a sibling. A divorcing couple may need to easily divide property after a divorce. A business may wish to transfer property to a subsidiary. In situations like this, the most efficient deed is the most optimal choice.
Transferring to a Subsidiary
The reason quitclaim deeds are a great tool for property transfers to business subsidiaries – and the reverse, from subsidiaries to parent companies – is because it is assumed here that the parties come to the deal with existing trust. A subsidiary would not sue its parent company, and vice versa. So in this case, the relative ease of drafting, serving, and filing a quitclaim deed makes it the ideal vehicle for handling these types of transactions.
Removing Title Defects
There are more specific reasons for using a quitclaim deed. One of the most common reasons is to remove title defects on a property. These title defects, often called "clouds," arise when a title search reveals that a property was not properly transferred in the past. It could be the result of a previous owner failing to follow the proper legal requirements for the deed. A "cloud" may also be present in the event that a grantor transferred property without spousal consent, and that spouse also had an interest in the property. In a case like this, the grantor may ask the spouse who still holds possible interest to execute a quitclaim deed in order to relinquish all right to the property that they may have.
With the title defect removed, property transfer can occur without issue in the future.
Mortgages Are Unaffected
Because they're usually used with property that is not being sold, but transferred between parties, quitclaim deeds aren't often utilized for properties with an existing mortgage. In the event that a property does have an existing mortgage, the grantee would usually insist on receiving the warranties from the grantor that come along with a general warranty deed.
Despite this fact, quitclaim deeds are sometimes used to transfer property that has an existing mortgage. Crucially, in these situations, the quitclaim deed does not affect the mortgage at all. What this means is that whoever the mortgage names as the responsible party must continue to repay it unless the new property owner assumes responsibility for payments by signing a separate mortgage assumption agreement. Absent that, the mortgage sails along unaffected by the property transfer in a quitclaim deed.
What About Land Contracts and Quitclaim Deeds?
Sometimes quitclaim deeds transfer property after a land contract sale has been completed, i.e. the final payment has been made and all other obligations under the contract have been met. Sometimes, inexperienced land contact sellers mistakenly give the buyer a quitclaim deed after they sign the original contract–not at the end, after all obligations have been met. However, when possible, execution of a warranty deed should happen at the end of a land contract. The importance of this decision depends on which side of the deal you're on–buyer or seller.
Land contracts are also known as contracts for deed, meaning that the deed does not transfer until the contract is fulfilled. This is distinctly different from a typical mortgage contract, where the buyer gets a warranty deed along with the mortgage at closing. If an owner of a property provides a promissory note and mortgage, this transaction is a purchase money mortgage – where the seller is acting as the bank. See more about purchase money mortgages here.
About Risk: Does a Quitclaim Deed Affect Future Sale Transactions?
Buyers might be leery of a quitclaim deed because, as we learned above, there is no proof that the seller actually owns title to the property. A long history of quitclaim deeds on a property might make it difficult to get a warranty deed needed by a future buyer in order to get a mortgage. In other words, you'll want to use the quitclaim deed sparingly, and only in the appropriate situations.
Other Types of Deeds
We covered the idea of what a deed is, and what makes a quitclaim deed unique. So, what are some other types of deeds commonly used in Michigan?
General Warranty
This type of deed, unlike the quitclaim, comes with a warranty from the grantor to the grantee, ensuring no surprises in the title. This means that no one else may claim an interest in the property and that the grantor has full legal authority to sell the property. Additionally, the grantor is liable to the grantee for any problems with the title.
Special Warranty
Special warranties come with a partial, rather than full, guarantee. In this case, the grantor guarantees that they have not transferred interest in the property in the time they have owned it, and that there will be no hidden claims coming out of their ownership. Importantly, the special warranty does not carry any guarantee about what may have happened before the grantor owned the property.
Warranty Deed
In Michigan, the warranty deed provides for an unlimited warranty of a property's title. It makes an absolute guarantee that the grantor has good title to the property, covering not only the time that the current owner has possessed the property, but all time prior. This means that the grantor can be held legally responsible for any title issues that arose before they acquired the property. This type of deed is often used when, for example, a buyer is purchasing residential property at full value, when the buyer does not intend to purchase title insurance, or any other circumstance where the grantor is confident and comfortable with the legal risk associated with the unlimited warranty.
Sheriff's Deed
This type of deed grants ownership rights to property purchased at a sheriff's sale – which is a sale conducted by the sheriff upon order of a court following a failure to pay a judgment. This often happens with property involved in a mortgage foreclosure. When the mortgage holder becomes delinquent in payments, the lender may force a public sale of the property. At this point, an auction is publicly advertised and then held by the local sheriff. The highest bidder at the auction receives the title to the property via sheriff's deed. Note that, in such a case, the debtor has the right of redemption of the property right up until confirmation of sale is signed by the judge and filed by the court.
It's important to know the distinction between the types of deeds and to know not only how they work, but what situations use them. With this information readily at hand, you'll approach any real estate transfer properly equipped to navigate the legal landscape and come out on top.

Springing up over the cornfields
But the earth swallows everything.
Upon the solitary patch of mud
Let it rain lye and peat and let the potlatch
by the reapers and the blackbirds
Let the wind comb out my womb
a lighthouse between my knees
with light.
Do you know consolation?
Even those with bad teeth
I would offer a mouthful of roses
but at the now, the best I can do
and meet your eyes.
To the Baba Yagas, and the mad
at the quicks, who dare to speak
you shall be changed
If your stomach is a wax balloon
you are beautiful as a fish
I am for you.
Turn the knob.
Alfred saw her beauty
Georgia perforated the dark.
Alfred shot her black and white.
In her studio, Georgia turned away from the human face.
Alfred buried his head in the hot velvet skirt
She raised her chin.
In the red light of his dark room
Alfred turns her in the basin,
Alfred's prints show Georgia's body
Georgia paints what blazes and fades:
Alfred adjusts his shutter speed;
Alfred knows passed away is no euphemism—
Left alone, Alfred squares her
A pelvis, knuckles, her eyebrows and nose—
In the desert, Georgia paints an arc of pelvic bones.
on "Without Persephone": When I lived in Indiana I always wanted to see a lighthouse in the middle of a cornfield. I love the Greeks. They understood loss better than anyone.
on "Rapture at 24th and Guadelupe": There are a lot of saints at bus stops.
on "Georgia and Alfred": I tore Stieglitz's last photo of O'Keeffe out of a newspaper. A man I knew said she was the only woman he could think of who looked better at 80 than at 18. I went through the entire Stieglitz series, and the later portraits of her by other photographers, to see if I agreed. What emerged was this poem; two voices talking to me about the death of love and the difference between men and women, painting and photography, impermanence and the need to make things stay.

American Women Are Now Receiving Abortions by Mail
A women's group that has helped women end their pregnancies abroad by sending them abortion pills in the mail has launched a new project to send pills to the U.S., according to a report Thursday.
Women on Web founder Rebecca Gomperts, who has helped women have illegal abortions across Europe, quietly launched a new service, Aid Access, that sends abortion pills to America, The Atlantic reported Thursday.
"Women on Web is a digital community of women who have had abortions, medical doctors, researchers, and individuals and organizations that support abortion rights," the group says on its website.
The cost of shipping abortion pills to the U.S. is approximately $95, but Aid Access will seek to help women who cannot afford to pay the full cost of the pills plus shipping, according to The Atlantic.
Aid Access screens women online to ensure that they are not more than nine weeks pregnant, the report said.
Gomperts, who is a physician, fills the prescriptions.
She told The Atlantic that she sends them to a pharmacy in India, which ships the abortion pills to the U.S.
It is not clear how the screenings reliably eliminate recipients who are more than nine weeks pregnant. Women on Web provides pills to women who are up to 12 weeks pregnant.
Women on Web's website directs women to take the abortion drugs under their tongue so that "no remains of the pills can be found in the event that you need to go to a hospital."
Women who seek to abort with medication in the U.S. must go to a hospital or abortion facility to take the pills and be advised by a doctor.
"Handing out deadly drugs through the mail is a disaster waiting to happen," Students for Life of America President Kristan Hawkins said in a statement Thursday.
"These dangerous drugs have also been used by abusers to end wanted pregnancy, something that this distribution model would make even easier," Hawkins added. "Women deserve better."
Gomperts claims her activities are legal. She purports that the Food and Drug Administration allows people to import medicines for their personal use, putting her provision of the pills within the bounds of law.
Aid Access has sent roughly 600 pills to the U.S. so far, but Gomperts sought to keep the new group's activities off the radar until now.
Gomperts said she was worried American pro-life organizations would try to shut down Aid Access but decided she had to act despite any obstacles she might face.
"Something had to be done," she said.
Women on Waves, Women on Web and ROSA Northern Ireland joined together to send abortion pills to women in Northern Ireland in May.
Tomorrow, abortion robots will deliver abortion pills to women in Belfast. Together with @abortionpil and @RosaWomen in Northern Ireland, we'd like to call attention to the restrictive abortion laws and the prosecution of women in the country. #AbortionRobot #Bus4Choice pic.twitter.com/yOeqcKSEwI
— Women on Waves (@WomenOnWaves_) May 30, 2018
They sent the pills via robot, but police seized the illegal drugs and the robots that delivered them shortly after their arrival.
"I hope I will be the first of many others," Gomperts told The Atlantic, expressing hope that other doctors will soon begin sending abortion pills as well.

The morning of your triathlon you may experience nerves, fear, excitement, an indescribable queasiness or all the above as you make your way to T1. Regardless, it's important to recognize and manage your feelings so you don't end up short-circuiting the goal or goals you've put in front of you.
There are three key points to consider on triathlon race day to keep your feelings in check and use the naturally accelerated rush of adrenaline to your advantage.
1. Race Morning Nutrition & Plan Execution
When it comes to triathlon, a plan is always a good thing. This extends to your gear set-up and nutrition the morning of the race. Always have your race gear ready to go the evening before the race. The last thing you want to be doing in the morning is scrounging for your race belt or digging for your goggles.
Create a transition set-up plan before you even step a foot out the door (And practice your transitions!). Know exactly which tasks need to be done and in which order you're going to perform each. The day is stressful enough already so put your Type-A brain (since you're a triathlete odds are this will be easy) into play and be organized and logical in your transition set-up.
Lastly, know what nutrition is going to work for you. There are few rules for this one, although some omissions are obvious (for example don't eat a full plate of Fettuccine Alfredo in the morning). In reality, though, everyone responds differently to the food they take in when the nerves are strong.
Maybe solid foods are impossible to get down. That's OK. Do you thrive on a little coffee? Fine as long as you don't overdo it (coffee is a diuretic after all). Find out what nutrients your body needs the morning of a race and stick to the plan that works best for you.
As a rule of thumb, you're going to want carbs (glycogen), a little protein (optional and preferably from a bar), and sodium (especially if it's going to be hot). But above all – HYDRATE.
2. Effective Warm-Up
Like nutrition, pre-race warm-ups are going to vary from person to person. Therefore, this may take some experimentation if you're a newbie.
For many events, bike racking the night before is mandatory. This makes a few pre-race pedal strokes impossible. Under these circumstances, I like to do a few light lunges, squats, and jumps to get my cycling muscles firing. However, remember that warm-ups are never about feeling the burn. We're just trying to get the blood flowing.
Personally, I also always need a light jog with a few strides and a few minutes in the water to warm up my arms. Sampling my race pace is a must in each case. Some of this, admittedly, is purely for mental reasons. I need to feel race pace so that I know what I want my body to do once the gun goes off.
Once again, discover what type of warm-up is going to fit your body and is going to boost your confidence.
3. Mental Fortitude
Whether you're a professional athlete, Olympian, middle of the pack age-grouper, or the person who is worried about the 17-hour cut-off at an IRONMAN event, everyone gets nervous before a race. Everyone!
How you handle these nerves can have a direct impact on your race. My recommendation is compartmentalize the upcoming events which, in total, comprise your race.
This means focus on your race and how you're going to handle each leg. Visualize your percentage of threshold pace that you'll be holding in each discipline. Don't worry about the person next to you. Think about what you need to do at T1 and T2, when you're going to eat and hydrate, and how you're going to handle the conditions.
In other words, slow the race down in your mind.
Likewise, keep your thoughts in check if you are susceptible to being overwhelmed. For example, I actually get intimidated rather easily. Even if I know I'm the only elite athlete at a race, I can still get caught up in thinking some guy is going to be faster than me just by looking at his physique.
I've learned to conquer this weakness by keeping my head down, avoiding too much eye contact, and simply thinking about my race and only my race. This mental tactic has served me well in keeping my priorities in check.
Most importantly, be aware and experiment with what tactics work best for you in gaining a mental edge on triathlon race day.
Whether it's these three points, or three of your own, make sure you have a plan of attack for those race morning jitters so you avoid the aforementioned short-circuiting of your goal(s). And, instead, run at full power.

He has 16 years of competitive running experience and 11 years of competitive triathlon experience with a half-Iron PR of 3:59 and a full-Iron PR of 8:30. Coaching under the TriDot system since 2011, Jared loves working with aspiring triathletes of all ages and performance levels.
Triathlon race day doesn't have to be an unsettling affair. You can rise above fear and nerves with a disciplined approach. Compartmentalize your race day events, have a well-thought out plan and mentally slow things down. Do this and you'll begin the race you invested so much time and effort in with confidence rather than trepidation.
What are your top tactics for more effective race day management that reduce nerves and keep you focused?

Appy Days: How the smartphone app is revolutionising mental healthcare
pharmafile | May 6, 2022 | Feature | |
Over the last decade, our individual awareness and understanding of mental health has risen to unprecedented levels. Despite its pitfalls, social media has been pivotal in exposing the harmful stigma around mental health, as well as providing a platform for sharing resources. Now, two years since the outbreak of COVID-19, the conversation around mental health is more important than ever before; approximately one in five adults in Great Britain experienced some form of depression in the first three months of 2021 – over double the figure before the emergence of COVID-19 in the UK in March 2020.1 The numerous lockdowns and periods of social isolation have exacerbated an issue that has long been underdiagnosed and widespread.
Like all other fields of healthcare, the pandemic accelerated digital innovation because everything went virtual overnight. It worsened social inequalities, and the digital divide became evermore prominent. However, this period also led to the proliferation of mobile apps, as healthcare was forced to become mainly remote. Mental wellness apps boomed, as people found themselves grappling with the many demands and stresses of lockdown life. A 2020 report from App Annie found that downloads of mindfulness apps hit 750,000 during the week of March 2020, up by 25% from the weekly average in January and February that year.2 Calm, a popular wellbeing app, was particularly successful, and saw 3.9 million downloads in April 2020.
By bringing about the digitalisation of healthcare, the pandemic inadvertently accelerated healthcare's push towards greater innovation to support patients worldwide.
As applications and virtual healthcare appointments become the norm, there are now more avenues than ever to help us manage our mental health. The Global Mental Health Apps market size is forecasted to reach $10.2 billion by 2027, mainly owing to the rising awareness of mental health.3 Smartphone apps have created ease of accessibility in this field, in areas such as diagnosis, symptom tracking, and self-management. The latter in particular has allowed patients to access support regularly and at their fingertips. For many, a lack of financial stability has led to inconsistent and/or inadequate treatment for conditions such as depression and anxiety. People also may be prevented from disclosing their mental illness to friends, family, and work colleagues alike, due to the fear of being treated or perceived negatively.
Self-management apps therefore offer a safe and private method for people to practice self-care in their own time. A study from 2017, conducted by the Department of Health Science, Brigham Young University, found that 90% of people who tried a mental health app reported improvements in motivation, confidence, and attitudes about their mental and emotional health.4
Mobile apps play a vital role, particularly for those who are ashamed to seek professional help due to the associated stigma. They offer a safe, private solution that is often more affordable than healthcare, particularly in countries with high medical bills, such as the US. They can be used in conjunction with medications and face-to-face therapy, to help transform treatments and open a new door for the self-management realm. These tools, whilst not intended to be a substitute for one-to-one care, can be instrumental in helping patients form new and healthier habits. Now, how can GPs/HCPs use these apps to their advantage to improve outcomes and the quality of life for patients?
Let's get digital
Social media has both helped and hindered mental health throughout the pandemic. Whilst it undeniably comes with a lot of risk, including heightened insecurity and fear of missing out (FOMO), social media has been a catalyst for greater discussion on mental health, through raising awareness of apps that people can download for ease-of-access to care. In 2020, a Reddit user built a free mental health app after being stuck in their small studio at the height of the pandemic. The final result, a platform offering self-management exercises such as breathing techniques and a secure private journal, aims to compartmentalise tasks to make them more digestible, and less overwhelming. After sharing Happy on the Reddit forum r/mentalhealth, the user received 406 upvotes, and other users shared their experiences in the comments section. One such user shared, "Having some of the worst times of my life right now. I'll give it a try. Thanks for using your time to help broken people like me." Another praised, "I love the simplicity of it, it's so useful."
However, not all people are comfortable with the idea of therapy apps – one user on Reddit shared they are weary of them, "especially since there are no laws about confidentiality protecting your privacy the way there are with therapy. App companies can still collect all of that sensitive data about your personality and habits and sell them."
For many, taking therapy sessions through an app also does not replicate the connection that is fostered in person between their therapist and their client. When attending in person, patients know that they are coming to a familiar, safe, and dependable address; some may see this as their only safe place. When it comes to online therapy, however, some may find it difficult to feel connected to their therapist. As phrased in a 2020 article on welldoing.org, titled The Differences Between Face-to-Face Therapy and Online Therapy: "Online psychotherapy requires a different kind of listening and a different kind of intensity. The senses are reduced to one or two: to sound, and to sight."
Virtual therapy platforms such as Sensa are heavily based on cognitive behavioural therapy, and are developed with assistance from experts. Prior to signing up, Sensa offers the user 27 questions, centred on their goals for therapy and what they hope to learn from it. Prospective users are also asked to answer questions on both physical and mental symptoms they may have experienced, of conditions such as depression, anxiety, and insomnia to help customise their experience. The platform then uses these data to tailor the user experience.
Sensa offers users self-management options, such as self-paced lessons on mental health, mood journaling, and habit-building tips and strategies. With access to services such as these, people can unlock a new door to self-awareness at their fingertips.
Pharmafocus spoke to Dr Andy Blackwell, Chief Scientific and Strategy Officer regarding the role that digital innovation is playing in mental health systems globally. ieso is a data-driven AI healthcare company, currently working to make its digital therapy service available to more than 20 million people in the UK via existing partnerships, including with the NHS. Dr Blackwell told us: "Digital innovation in mental health is currently transforming access to mental healthcare. However, access is not enough – there must also be a focus on quality and outcomes. "We believe digital innovations, that engage patients and show real-world evidence of efficacy, will ultimately be industry leaders in the future of mental health care. Further, the insights from a data-rich sector like digital therapeutics can generate will help clinicians to make more accurate diagnoses, to optimise and personalise treatment decisions and to eliminate unnecessary or ineffective practices."
Prescribe a platform
There are numerous apps that are recommended on the NHS for mental health care, such as Calm Harm, designed to help people resist or manage the urge to self-harm. The app provides immediate activities and techniques to help break the cycle of self-harm behaviour. It is private, anonymous, and safe, helping the user to be as comfortable as possible. Platforms for symptom tracking, such as My Possible Self, are also NHS approved. This offers simple learning modules to manage fear, anxiety, stress, and tackle unhelpful thinking.
Zuellig Pharma has also licenced Ensemble, Happify Health's transdiagnostic prescription digital therapeutic for people with major depressive disorder (MDD), generalised anxiety disorder (GAD), or both. The platform requires a prescription, and teaches people new skills and habits to take control of their symptoms. Murray Zucker, MD and CMO at Happify Health, stated at its launch in Summer 2021: "The connection between mental and physical health is clear, which reinforces the need for early diagnosis, treatment and ongoing care and support that can only be delivered at scale using digital therapies."
Viva la Virtual
Virtual therapy is a new option accelerated by COVID-19's introduction, where users can have online consultations with a licensed counsellor. Log on, find a licenced counsellor, and have the consultation in the comfort of your home. A 2020 article from Tata Consulting Services (TCS), entitled The Future of Therapy: Building Empathetic Technology, states, "Providing a smartphone-based app to patients to access therapy and track their own progress is a great way of promoting self-care. That's because tracking the patient's lifestyle and behaviour in a non-intrusive manner is as important as medication in many health conditions. Take for instance the case of substance abuse, where prescription digital therapeutics for mental health, as adjuncts to clinical consultation, are already showing encouraging results for substance dependent patients."
The article also stresses the need for a more human approach to improving people's mental wellbeing, and how the element of empathy is crucial to the development of new smartphone apps: "While technology offers many tools and models to foster physical and mental wellbeing, the future of therapy will depend on identifying the right combination of technology coupled with empathy through human support. It is the only way to scale therapy and offer personalised support for those with mental illnesses. New therapeutic interventions are emerging… clearly, blending technology with empathy is a novel way forward towards managing and initiating treatment in the area of mental health."
Whilst virtual therapy may not be for some, the effectiveness of these apps for the majority cannot be understated. In 2017, Carlbring et al reviewed 20 studies which compared the efficacy of CBT delivered online with face-to-face interventions. They found that online interventions produced an equivalent overall effect when compared to face-to-face therapy.5 Evidently, while virtual therapy may require a slight adjustment on the individual's part, they are accessible and inclusive in bringing the therapy to the individual.
Technically speaking
Like in any other field, digital innovation in mental health comes with its own unique set of challenges. It is important to acknowledge that these are not substitutes for treatment, and rather are forms of self-management that can be add-ons to professional help. As we have explored, empathy is instrumental in making a therapy app effective for the user, to replicate the connection that occurs in person between a therapist and their client as best as possible. As the potential of digital therapeutics becomes increasingly recognised in the pharma industry, it is clear that they show promise in continuing to shape the landscape of mental healthcare. The future is certainly looking bright.

Undecided Iowa voters watching this round of Democratic debates aren't that interested in the finer points of the private option vs. Medicare for All discussion. They want health care for all, they say, but they're largely unsure how it should be achieved.
Voters at Des Moines debate watch parties both Tuesday and Wednesday night weren't strongly attached to any specific approach the candidates brought up, and some were simply confused as to the differences between the plans.
"I don't understand all the issues with Medicare for All that well," said Bob Raker of Des Moines. "But they might be wrestling with semantics here on what the definitions of these things are."
Ryan Crane said he doesn't know whether a private option should be left in a Medicare for All bill.
"I have mixed feelings about Medicare for All," Crane said Wednesday. "I think it's good to have a public option that's available to people, but the moderators are framing this wrong … The way the moderators framed it is antagonistic. Kamala attacked Biden. Biden attacked Gillibrand. I don't think it's constructive."
Anthony Spoerl, also of Des Moines, said he believes there should be a private option, but added, "I don't know."
"I'm not sure where I land on it," Spoerl said, unsure of his answer. "I lean towards having it mixed with a private option I suppose?"
Spoerl said the first 30-minutes of Tuesday night's debate didn't help him understand the issue any better.
"Right now, I haven't used Medicare for myself enough to make a decision on how I feel about it," said Beverly Ellis of Des Moines. "I need to read about it. I'm retired and I'm on Medicare, so it doesn't affect me that much."
When asked whether she supported a private option, Hillary Naven, of Des Moines said, "I'm not really sure."
Randy Henderson, of Des Moines, said he's on Medicare and he thinks it's great and he'd like to make sure everyone is insured.
"That's the bottom line," he said.
He didn't have an opinion as to whether a private option should be offered other than he's been "screwed big before" by private insurance companies.
After watching the Medicare for All debates, Heather Dunn simply doesn't think American is ready for Medicare for All.
"I think that I'm more on the board with staying on Obamacare," Dunn said.
The only person at the Des Moines debate watch party either night who seemed to be confident of their opinion on Medicare for All said she thought the candidates were confusing voters more than they were helping them.
"I'm a public benefits attorney," Romain said. "What I don't like is I think Bernie is being disingenuous about the status of Medicare is. Because people on Medicare do pay copays, they do have deductibles and most of them do have a form of private insurance called Medigap coverage or Medicare supplement."
"I don't like that it's confusing people," Romain said. "I don't like it when Republicans do it. I don't like it when Democrats do it. I guess personally, I'm not saying I'm against government sponsored healthcare but in the short term, I would be in favor of some of the options being discussed where you would add a public option to the existing Obamacare structure and still keep talking about this."

London was originally a Celtic dwelling place. The Romans made it the capital of Britannia province under the name of Londinium. London vintage map shows a face of the city. London is home to the famous British Museum, compared by some to the Louvre Museum in Paris for the importance of its collections, both in number and quality.
Historically, vintage London grew from three distinct centres: the walled settlement founded by the Romans on the banks of the Thames in the 1st century CE, today known as the City of London, "the Square Mile," or simply "the City"; facing it across the bridge on the lower gravels of the south bank, the suburb of Southwark; and a mile upstream, on a great southward bend of the river, the City of Westminster (see vintage London map).

Retaliation Ultimate Flint
by KansasBrawler
Ultimate Flint is definitely a bit of a tough nut to crack. While I was okay with Roadblock's ultimate incarnation being a Retaliation figure, I'm still not sure what I think about Ultimate Flint being based on the movie just because his portrayal wasn't that great. There were definitely Flint-y moments of cockiness and brashness, but at the same time, I just didn't get much of a Flint vibe from. Issues with portrayal aside, however, Ultimate Flint does do an excellent job of replicating his movie attire. It's well-executed, and as the most faithful recreation of his movie look, it's great, though I can understand many out there (myself included) not thinking this is the "ultimate" version of everyone's favorite cocky Rhodes Scholar from Wichita, Kansas.
The movie-based ultimates thrived on clever parts reuse and Flint is no exception. I wasn't sure how well this look would work, but it really proved my initial doubts wrong. This is a great representation of Retaliation Flint. Flint's parts are completely reused (with a little retooling for the upper left arm) but what they used fits well with the aesthetic they set for the Joe team with the G.I. Joe Trooper from wave one. His legs come from the Retaliation G.I. Joe Trooper while his torso comes from the Pursuit of Cobra Shock Trooper and the arms come from 30th Anniversary Law. These parts work well together to create a generic soldier. While I would like my movie Joes to look a little more like their classic counterparts, I understand the need to make them look like an actual military unit instead of a hodgepodge of military specialists, all with their unique fashion sense. The Joes really do look good and while I do kind of miss the reactive armor from Rise of Cobra, I really do prefer the slightly more real-world look to the Joe team. Over top of the more basic soldier look, Flint is also wearing the same vest Agent Mouse and Ultimate Duke wore. I really like the vest since it does a good job of tying the Retaliation look back to the reactive armor of the first movie while still being grounded a bit more in reality. Surprisingly, his head is also shared with the first Retaliation Flint. I would not have expected that. I thought that head looked terrible, but when I saw the first images of Ultimate Flint I thought it looks pretty good. I don't know why I think it looks better here than in its other uses. The likeness for DJ Cotrona is decent. It's not as solid as it is for Bruce Willis or Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, but it's definitely leaps and bounds past what we got in terms of actor likenesses during Rise of Cobra. The nice thing about the "not-quite-perfect" likeness, though, is that I can see him as Flint first and DJ Cotrona second. The Roadblocks and Joe Colton on my shelf are figures I look at and go "There's mini-Bruce Willis" and then remember which Joe he was playing. Flint doesn't immediately make me think of the actor playing him at first glance and I like that. As much as I like movie-licensed figures to look like the person they're supposed to be, at times, they're a little harder to integrate the figure into the collection when the likeness is so spot on.
What hides the figure's part reuse so well is the paint job. Starting off with his pants, Ultimate Flint has a very detailed camouflage pattern tampoed on it. The work is crisp and really does an amazing job of disguising the generic G.I. Joe Trooper legs. They also do a great job of looking like the pants he wore during the movie's final battle at Fort Sumter. The basic black t-shirt is a faithful to the movie and let's not forget, back in the day Flint wore a simple black t-shirt with a pair of shotgun shell bandoliers on it. It's a great look and it fits Flint perfectly. To help break up all the black on his torso, Flint's vest gets gray panels with some weathering and scarring painted on. I like the slightly more roughed up look for the vest as opposed to the fresh-from-the-factory look of the paint on Agent Mouse's vest. The paint job for Flint's face is also very good and might be what helps him out a little bit. The Wave 2 Flints I remember seeing on the shelves had a rather bland expression. Ultimate Flint has a bit more of a steely, determined gaze. Maybe I'm just making stuff up to justify why I was so impressed with the head when they showed it on Ultimate Flint before I knew it was the same one as the other movie Flints have had, but I think they did something different with the paint job and it helped.
Finally, we come to the gear. Like the other movie-based ultimate Joe characters, Flint has a full footlocker of weapons and a great larger piece that really adds a lot of fun to the figure. Starting off with the weapons, Flint carries a shotgun, two different Uzis, a rifle, a pulse rifle and a grenade launcher. They're all great pieces and what's even cooler to me is that pretty much all of those weapons make an appearance in Joe Colton's weapon cache when the Joes are gearing up for the final fight. That's some great attention to details from the movie. Of course, Flint always needs a shotgun so I'm glad to see he's got the nice new tactical model they introduced with 30th Anniversary Law. He's got a knife to fill the sheath on the small of his back, but like every other time we've seen it, the knife doesn't really fit that well in his hands and it's a pain to get in and out of the sheath so it's really not that great of a piece. I'm glad they have it to fill the sheath, but I wish it would have been thought out a little better. For headgear, Flint has the futuristic helmet that the other Joes have been coming with. I realize a lot of people were upset that the terrible first Flint had a removable beret but this one doesn't but I'm going to give it a pass because Flint almost never wore the beret in the movie. I think he had it on during the medal ceremony at the end, but in combat, I don't recall Flint wearing it at all. Yes, he didn't wear the helmet either, but the helmet makes a bit more sense in the field than the beret does. Finally, we come to the coolest piece, Ultimate Flint's working parachute. We've already seen this with the Retaliation Cobra Trooper, but since I passed on that one, this is my first time having it in hand and I love it. I loved Sky Patrol as a kid because the working parachute was so cool but it was such a pain to work with because the Mylar didn't really fold that well. However, the cloth parachute not only works well as a parachute, but it's relatively easy to fold up for storage purpose. The harness it's attached to is equally impressive. Gone are the days of just slapping a backpack in someone's back hole and calling it a day. Instead, we get a parachute rig complete with properly placed straps, not just for the parachute but that also hold the figure in place in the full parachute rig in a very realistic fashion. Hasbro had done a lot of great things with the removable webgear during the modern line, but hands down, this working parachute rig is the best use they've come up for it. All the paratroopers have really benefitted from making their parachute rigs removable harnesses. Parts of me actually want to dust off my Assault on Cobra Island Ripcord to see how he looks with a functional black parachute rig on, but as I recall that rig doesn't really come off all that easily, so I may not. Regardless, this is a great piece and with as much fun as I had testing out the parachute, I'm sure younger Joe fans would love it.
I can understand the gripes about making a movie-based Flint the ultimate version of the character. I would have loved to have seen that concept case Flint come out under the name "Ultimate Flint." However, I am very happy that they gave us a movie Flint better than the first one they gave us. Characters like Lady Jaye and Joe Colton were done well enough the first time that they didn't really need another pass. However, when a figure is as bad as the first Retaliation Duke or Flint, I'm glad they decided to give that version another go just so we could get a good version of the movie design. As far as I'm concerned, they don't need to make any more Retaliation versions of Flint. They've made an Ultimate Retaliation Flint. We don't need a "North Korea Raid" Flint or a "Nuclear Raid" Flint, but I'm glad they did it. It's a good look for Flint and now that it appears the concept case Flint is coming in the 50th Anniversary line, I can have ultimate versions of both Flint designs we've had in recent years on my shelf.

Reman Sadani discusses Walkout 1 her commission for the Jerwood/FVU Awards 2020: Hindsight with curator, cultural strategist and Deputy Director of Delfina Foundation, Salma Tuqan.
This online event has been developed in collaboration with the artist and gives you a chance to hear from them and a special guest speaker; providing an insight into the ideas and processes behind the works in the exhibition.
Watch Walkout 1 in the online exhibition, here.
About the artist's guest
Salma Tuqan is a Contemporary Art and Design curator and cultural strategist. She is Deputy Director at Delfina Foundation, a non-profit inter-disciplinary foundation dedicated to artistic exchange through global residencies, exhibitions, commissions and public programming. Prior to Delfina Foundation she held the inaugural role of Contemporary Middle East curator at the V&A where she helped shape programming and laid the foundation for its permanent Contemporary Arab art and design collection.
About the artist
Reman Sadani (b. 1995, Yemen) is a London-based Iraqi artist and a graduate of the Slade School of Fine Art. She is a multidisciplinary artist with a focus on film and moving image. Her narratives are often driven by a search for an exit. The physical toll of this constant search manifests in space and performance as the negotiation between the individual and the collective plays out. Recent screenings and group exhibitions include: Independent Iraqi Film Festival, London (2020), Whole Nine Yards (2020), Soundings, Raven Row, London (2019), A Night of Shorts, SET, London (2018), No Screening, IMT Gallery, London (2015).
Reman Sadani's Walkout 1, reflects how a preoccupation with the past could be considered a privilege when faced with the challenges of the present. Walkout 1 is set in a city that has been shrouded in dust, setting the film in a post-crisis, desert-like cityscape. The poetic film explores the flaws of a society's single viewpoint, in particular how a dominant ideology can be forced upon a younger generation. In order to lift the cloud of dust, four young characters are instructed by an elder who rigidly adheres to a vision, leading to doubts and questions from her followers. The nature of crisis shows that it is often impossible to 'look back' and reflect because of a present, urgent need for survival. The film draws on Sadani's own experiences of growing up in Arab countries and later moving to the UK. Various contributors were interviewed about their own ideas of the city, which sparked discussions of flawed systems of authority, collective frustrations and changing political narratives, all of which helped Walkout 1 take shape.

Retrofitting with ALPOLIC Metal Composite Materials
With a focus on cost savings and environmental stewardship, retrofitting is a popular choice for building owners and designers. Whether the building façade is worn, dated or just unattractive, the best choice for modernizing the look of a structurally sound building is to clad it in ALPOLIC® Metal Composite Materials (MCM).
Typically much less expensive than demolishing and rebuilding, MCM cladding is ideal because it can be attached to block, brick, steel studs — virtually any substrate. Composite, in particular aluminum composite material (ACM), is extremely lightweight, easy to fabricate and available with a fire-resistant core for buildings that are more than 40 feet in height. Offered in the widest variety of colors and finishes in the industry, ALPOLIC® Materials have the versatility to meet both your design and safety requirements.
Often, the decision to retrofit is inspired by a dedication to green building. To bring an older building up to current energy code standards, wrapping the building in continuous insulation and cladding with ALPOLIC® delivers both energy efficiency and visual appeal. And our virtually 100% recyclable materials are manufactured with sustainability in mind and come with some of the industry's best finish warranties.
Retrofit your building with MCM and the cost savings can add up quickly —less upfront cost, low maintenance costs, less construction time, and the potential for improved energy efficiency. Composite is the ideal choice because of its design flexibility and the variety of colors and finishes. What's old is new again with ALPOLIC®. Contact your regional sales manager for more information.

A charity event at 4pm on this Sunday afternoon in Abbeyfeale comes with a code of dress for participants and a warning for the fashion conscious:
"Don't come here wearing dear clothes or shoes because this is a 'Colour Run' and the colour will run if it rains on the day.
Bernadette Brosnan is one of a handful of people behind the event which aims to raise funds which will be shared by Kerry Hospice Foundation and the Milford Hospice.
"We're asking people to take a walk in the park with us because we know that fighting cancer is no walk in the park,"
"The Colour Run is an ancient tradition in India and a few of us here got the idea that we'd have one in the town park in Abbeyfeale," said Bernadette Brosnan.
"We're asking people to be here for 3pm to register. As it's all in the town park we'll have the facilities here for the children as well. There will be music and ice cream vans and all kinds of entertainment.
"It's all a bit of fun and we're asking people to dress in white gear so that the powder will show up. The idea is that people will or walk a lap of the park – and that's just a mile long – and they'l be pelted with coloured powder along the route.
"The powder will blow away and off their clothes – if the day is dry. It will run and stick of course if it rains and that's why we're advising people not to bring good clothes or shoes with them.
"We're asking people to take a walk in the park with us because we know that fighting cancer is no walk in the park and we're hoping for a big turnout on Sunday," said Bernadette in conclusion. Bernadette Brosnan can be contacted on: 087 96 61 383

What Tennis Shoes Does Roger Federer REALLY Wear?
Updated: Dec 28, 2020
Like other top ATP players, Roger Federer uses custom sneakers with significant differences from his signature retail pairs that have been offered to the public.
Tennis players are incredibly superstitious, and understandably don't always change sneaker models with annual updates. Federer uses elements from the Nike Air Zoom Vapor speed, the Nike Air Zoom Vapor VI, as well as the cosmetics of current models.

The Greatest Albums You'll Never Hear: Unreleased Record By The World's Greatest Musicians
Condition: New
The Greatest Albums You' ll Never Hear untangles the twists of fate, the fights and the sheer bad luck that prevented these sonic gems from being pressed.
A Pink Floyd album with no instruments. A Sex Pistols record more incendiary than Never Mind The Bollocks. A sci-fi rock opera by Weezer.
Rock ' n' roll history is littered with intriguing albums that never saw the light of day, let alone the charts.
Self-destructive ambition, intra-band turmoil, record-company politics and even death have all played their part in creating a fascinating sub-genre of mythic masterpieces. Spanning more than half a century of music from all genres, these tales take in legends such as The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and David Bowie, cult heroes like Brian Eno and Frank Zappa, and contemporary artists, including Green Day and Dr Dre.
Each ill-fated record is accompanied by an imagining of the cover that might have been. These original artworks have been brought to life by a team of acclaimed designers and illustrators, including Vaughan Oliver (Pixies, Bush, Cocteau Twins), John Pasche (The Rolling Stones, The Who, Jimi Hendrix) and Bill Smith (Genesis, The Jam, Led Zeppelin).

As Earth Day festivities are in the spotlight this week, Evanston leaders have been touting what they say is the biggest municipal compost program in the state of Illinois.
The program operates with the help of a local woman-owned business that hopes to keep expanding to meet the city's climate action goals.
"And who has the state's largest municipal composting program? You guessed it: Evanston," said Mayor Steve Hagerty in his State of the City address last month.
"We have the largest municipal composting program in Illinois," said Kumar Jensen, chief sustainability and resilience officer for the city of Evanston.
While Jensen said the assertion is largely anecdotal, Evanston's efforts to promote composting in both homes and businesses around town are part of the push to divert 50 percent of the city's trash from landfills by 2025. Officials hope to divert all trash by 2050.
In 2017, the most recent year available, Jensen said Evanston residents and businesses diverted 22 percent of their trash into recycling or compost.
Of the 15,650 tons that were diverted, about 22 percent, or 3,487 tons, was compostable material like yard clippings or food waste, according to the City of Evanston Climate Action Resilience Plan.
To promote the effort, Evanston residents can receive 95-gallon yard waste containers from the city. Illinois law prohibits the dumping of lawn trimmings in landfills, and Evanston residents can dump food scraps in with the lawn mower clippings and leaf piles.
But Evanston is unique in that it also has contracted with Collective Resource, a home compost collection service run by local resident Erlene Howard, Jensen said.
Customers who don't need a giant yard waste bin, like residents in condos or those who hire lawn care services, can contract through the city with Collective Resource to receive a smaller bin for banana peels, avocado skins and other kitchen food waste.
Collective Resource is in the second year of a 5-year, exclusive contract with the city to pick up residents' compost that does not include yard waste, Jensen said.
"We wanted to make sure anybody who went to the city's website had an option to divert their food scraps, even if they didn't have a yard cart," Howard said.
As such, Collective Resource offers 5-gallon carts to those residents who don't need the larger yard waste cart, Howard said. Her company also works with restaurants to haul away larger amounts of food scraps for composting.
Some Evanston waste hauling customers switch to Collective Resource's smaller bins during the winter when they aren't leaving yard waste by the curb, Howard said.
Of Collective Resource's approximate 1,400 customers in the greater Chicago area, about 370 are residents and restaurants in Evanston, Howard said. Of those, about 50 include restaurants, coffee shops and the Lorraine H. Morton Civic Center.
Evanston is the company's only municipal contract, Howard said.
Evanston resident Liz Feldman said her family has been Collective Resource compost customers since before the municipal contract began.
"They deliver a bucket and we fill it up with all of our scraps," Feldman said.
That includes paper plates and other compostable materials the family might use, not just food waste.
"It's really convenient for us," Feldman said, adding that the smaller compost bin is "sizable to the scale that makes sense for our family."

Micromax recently launched much hyped Canvas 4 , but unfortunately the specifications and updated features were not at par with the hype of this Flagship Smartphone. It wasn't a great improvement over Its predecessor Micromax A116 Canvas HD as far as most hardware specs are concerned, although it does comes with certain enhanced software features and much highlighted gesture control features. Let's compare these phones to see what features Micromax wishes to offer with the enhanced price.
Display and Processor
The display of both Canvas 4 and Canvas HD are similar in size and resolution. Both these devices have an IPS LCD capacitive touch screen with a resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels which gives you a pixel density of 294 ppi. Thus both devices have true HD display, although Canvas 4 was expected to have full HD display. Never the less this is above average display and the IPS LCD will provide you with wide viewing angles and good outdoor visibility.
Processors of both Canvas HD and Canvas 4 are also same; both the devices are powered by quad core MediaTek MT6589 processor with Cortex A7 architecture, clocked at a frequency of 1.2 GHz. although canvas 4 has many more software features which will burden the processor more and hence this might give you more lag.
Camera and Memory
Camera features of Micromax Canvas 4 is far superior to that of Micromax Canvas HD. Canvas 4 comes with a 13 MP primary camera which has a 5 element lens, similar to that in iPhone 5, and is enabled with Vertical Panorama feature. Thus camera's field of capture in vertical direction will be highly enhanced. Canvas 4 also has a secondary camera of 5MP for video calling. On the other hand canvas HD has a primary camera of 8MP which is capable of video recording of 720p at 30fps and a secondary camera of 2 MP with VGA recording. Thus clearly Micromax Canvas 4 has better camera features.
Both devices have similar 1GB RAM, however internal memory of Canvas 4 is quadrupled to that of Canvas HD. Canvas 4 comes with a 16 GB internal storage of which 10 GB is available to users. The storage is further extendable to 32 GB using microSD card. Canvas HD has standard 4GB of storage out of which 1.7 GB is available to the users. From the above data we can clearly see that internal software of Canvas 4 requires much more memory space than that of Canvas HD. Both of these devices use Android jelly bean 4.2.1 operating system.
Battery and Other features
Battery capacity of both these devices is again same on paper. Battery capacity for both devices is rated at 2000 mAh, which in Canvas HD will provide you with up to 5 hrs of talk time which is not very great in itself. We don't expect this battery to last any longer than 5 hrs in Canvas 4 either (if not lesser). Canvas 4 weighs 158 grams which is almost similar to 156 gram Canvas HD. Also Canvas 4 is sleeker at 8.9 mm as compared to 10.7 mm Canvas HD
Canvas 4 comes with additional features like "blow air to unlock" or "Kiss to unlock". This is a unique unlocking concept in which the user has to blow on the screen to unlock it. Micromax claims that its most expensive feature is its "Eye tracking" feature, by virtue of which it pauses videos when user is not looking at the device (similar to that in galaxy s3). It also contains other gesture features using which you can turn your phone to silent or speaker modes via various gestures such as turning the phone with its rear facing upwards. It also has Video pinning feature where you can watch videos and simultaneously perform other tasks like sending mails or messages.

|2000 mAh
Conclusion and price
Clearly with Canvas 4 Micromax has highlighted enhanced software features, like gesture control and blow air to unlock feature. These features will definitely enhance user experience many fold. Unfortunately hardware of Canvas 4 has not been upgraded along side. It has the same processor and RAM capacity. Micromax A210 Canvas HD has been priced at 17,999 but you also get a flip cover worth Rs. 3000 free with this device. Canvas HD is available for Rs. 13,300. So for a price difference of around 4500 INR you get various new features and extra internal storage.

God, the last time I was scared was when I watched one of my friends fall asleep at the wheel, in another car behind me (through my rear view mirror). THat was probably the scariest moment of my life.
But, like you, I too freak out with U-PIMPs and I-PIMPs. I have yet to belt out a BLOOD CURDLING scream yet though LOL
YAY! That was me! :D
Your interactive post had the least amount of comments :P
I guess I was scared, but it wasn't one of those heart wrenching scares, but one of those, reaction scares, where I screamed at the top of my lungs. But it was when a rat ran by next to my foot.
