Surfing is a recreational and competitive sport where individuals use a surfboard to ride atop moving waves without falling. Surfing began as a pivotal point to Polynesian culture, and has since garnered both fame and infamy with the surfing culture throughout the world. The surfboard itself is typically designed as a long board with a rounded nose and tail, and created with Expanded polystyrene, fiberglass, and epoxy resin to keep the board light and buoyant. Most competitions are scored by the size of the wave ridden, the variety of maneuvers or tricks, and the degree of difficulty showcased.
The process of catching a wave needs practice. Knowing when the wave is "catchable" is important because that will allow you to surf it. You start by positioning yourself 4 meters (13 feet) away from the way, paddling to match the speed of the wave, then you stand up to start surfing.
In 1777, just a year before James Cook came to Honolulu, he saw this happening and showed others how to do the sport. Although he may not have invented it, he is the first person known to take surfing knowledge to the people and to grow the sport.
Strong currents and water action can slam a surfer into a reef or ocean floor, leading to severe injuries or death. One of the biggest dangers is the risk of two or more consecutive waves being held underwater. Knowing this, surfers often have friends or other surfers around them incase anything were to happen.

Yesterday I went to the Red Rooster to watch the flip cup tournament, and more importantly, to drink beer. First time I'd been there during daytime in about a month, and I quickly remembered how nice the Rooster staff is – they have football on all their TVs (I counted 11 of them), and if you come in to watch, they'll tell you, "If there's a particular game you want to watch, just tell us what TV you'd like it on." They have big $5 pitchers and half off Maxalicious pizzas during games as well. If you have a big group that wants to go somewhere and drink beer and watch football, the Rooster would be a good place to do it.
They told me they're also going to be open for all the Tiger games (including away games on TV), and they will run beer specials. They're especially looking forward to February's Memphis Tigers vs. UT Vols game, which is an away game this year. They want to have a big watch party for that game. They also told me that their 12-foot tall rooster that guards the front door will be dressed up as Santa by the end of this week, and that they're planning a week-long celebration to celebrate their 1-year anniversary in early 2009.
As for the flip cup tournament… eh, it was what it was, an excuse for people to get together and play drinking games. I didn't play on a team, just watched. Sam made me a press pass consisting of a napkin with my name and "PRESS PASS" scribbled on it, which he then proceeded to staple to my shirt. I have pics in my camera, which I'll post later.
By 5:30 I was DONE and decided to call it a day and started the walk home… but what's on the way home from the Red Rooster? The Saucer. Of course I had to stop in, especially since one of my favorite beers (Blue Moon) was the Fire Sale. Ended up hanging out at the bar with my friends Lee and Bicycle Bobby. Wow there really weren't a lot of people out. Guess yesterday was travel day for a lot of people. We had a good time though. The manager came over and thanked us for our loyalty.
Around 8 Lee made a great suggestion: "Hey, you want to go to Bardog?" Well, let's see… PBR on tap? Of course I want to go to Bardog! So we made the three-block walk up to Monroe. Found out that the owner's mom reads my blog.
A female friend at the bar suggested to me, "You know, Paul, there are sweater tube tops. You ought to do a December version of Tube Top Month to promote those." That makes three times this week I've had someone suggest that I bring back Tube Top Month six months early in honor of winter/Christmas tube tops. I'm not up for an entire month of them right now, but if anyone wants to model winter tube tops and send me photos, I'll be happy to post 'em.
I made the mistake of getting a seat near the kitchen, which meant I had to sit there and watch them cook sliders for three hours. Finally I couldn't take it any more and put in a to-go order for sliders. The place got super duper packed right as I was leaving – the Thanksgiving holiday may be hurting business at most places Downtown, but it sure didn't seem to affect Bardog.
Went home, ate my sliders, went to bed. After the hustle and bustle of the Downtown parade on Friday, Saturday turned out to be a peaceful, relaxing day with good people in good places. And because I went to bed relatively early last night, I actually am up in time to go to Sunday brunch, for the first time in weeks. I've gotten so out of the loop that I don't even know if it's a Majestic week or Blue Monkey week… if anyone knows, shoot me an e-mail. Otherwise I'll start texting people about 10:30.

Despite having notable advantages over established machine learning methods for time series analysis, reservoir computing methods, such as echo state networks (ESNs), have yet to be widely used for practical data mining applications. In this paper, we address this deficit with a case study that demonstrates how ESNs can be trained to predict disease labels when stimulated with movement data. Since there has been relatively little prior research into using ESNs for classification, we also consider a number of different approaches for realising input-output mappings. Our results show that ESNs can carry out effective classification and are competitive with existing approaches that have significantly longer training times, in addition to performing similarly with models employing conventional feature extraction strategies that require expert domain knowledge. This suggests that ESNs may prove beneficial in situations where predictive models must be trained rapidly and without the benefit of domain knowledge, for example on high-dimensional data produced by wearable medical technologies. This application area is emphasized with a case study of Parkinson's Disease patients who have been recorded by wearable sensors while performing basic movement tasks.

Rolled Aluminum Plate for Full-Scale Hot Wheels Track DisplayOn Friday, January 28, 2011, we provided a quote to Chicago Scenic Studios for bending aluminum plate into a very complex shape. General Motors wanted Chicago Scenic Studios to create a twenty-foot tall, twisting, turning, orange, hot-wheels track eight feet wide for the world premier of the all-new Chevrolet Camaro at the Chicago Auto Show. The convertible was to be parked at the bottom of the track. The date for the final installation,Feb.8th, was just nine short days away (including weekends).
This challenging hot-wheel job immediately become a very hot job in both our shops.
Bending aluminum plate for the Chicago Auto Show
Chicago Metal Rolled Products was given a 3D model in AutoCAD without dimensions. Engineer Dan Wendt developed the 3D dimensions in order to build our fixture to fabricate and partially erect the required, off-axis, helical, multi-radius curves. He then developed the flat, 2D, patterns to be plasma cut, curved, twisted, and then welded with 60 gusset plates to the plasma-cut sides of the track. Like the toy, hot-wheels track, its sides have a 10 degree flare. Dan spent 20 hours detailing the project. We couldn't purchase the material until we developed the final layout
Our initial quote incorporated 15 stock sheets of aluminum 48 x 120 for the 8+ ft. wide track. With the flat patterns in hand, project manager Joe Wendt searched for material and found extra large sheets 96 x 240 that are sometimes used to line truck beds. He was able to create the whole length of the track with just three huge plates. Instead of 14 connections, Chicago Scenic had just two splices to make.
The material arrived on Tuesday, February 1, but so did the third worst storm in Chicago history, dropping 20 inches of snow in one horrendous blizzard. There was no question that our shop would be closed on Wednesday.
On Thursday after the plate was plasma cut, we went to work over two shifts of plate rolling to create the complex shapes, to fastened the sides of the track with 60 gussets, and to partially erect the structure to ensure everything would fit up at Chicago Scenic.
On Friday, one week after we quoted this job, we shipped the curved material to Chicago Scenic. Working 24 hours each day over the weekend, Chicago Scenic Studios fit-up, welded, painted, transported, and erected the display Monday morning, February 7. Hanging from the ceiling on cables, the track was erected and ready to be presented to the media on Wednesday, February 9.
The GM hot-wheels track also incorporated large monitors to engage attendees in an elaborate contest to win a new Camaro-not the hot-wheel toys the sales force was handing out, but the real thing. Visitors competed to create the best stop-action, 3D jumping competition to be judged through voting on social media.
Joe attended the opening night charity ball with his sister and their spouses. In addition to seeing the final display, they enjoyed the music of KC and the Sunshine Band. When KC sang "That's the way, Uh, Huh, Uh, Huh. I like it" no doubt he was singing about this cool display.
"A big thank you to your team. Your parts are receiving the most positive feedback possible. Your company has new fans here."
"Without CMRP able to roll these channels to my specifications, there was no way this beautiful round antenna would have ever worked.

"These pipes were rolled DEAD ON. The shop guys said they had never seen a pipe come in and hit every point like that in a long long time."

"We just placed an order for Rolled Angle Rings & you delivered them to us within 2-1/2 days ... we are three states away."

"You guys did an amazing job on these stringers. We would NOT be having such a success story without your team's effort & patience!"

"My boilermakers in the field had positive things to say about the quality and accuracy of the angles that you rolled. Thank you."
"The project is complete and our customer is very pleased. I appreciate your diligence and quality on this one."
"CMRP has been instrumental in our ability to deliver high quality & great looking parts. Any job, big or small, CMRP has come through."
"Your rolled steel worked great! We check lengths & chord dimensions ...everything was within an 1/8"."
"We received our order on time and the level of workmanship is excellent!"
"Your company did a great job rolling these parts. Our fab and installation is going very well thanks to the quality of your work."
"Your company is the only one that was able to give me a quote that was right on with my specs, everyone else had to modify at least one dimension."
"Thank you for the follow through & turn around time, it greatly helps in the environment that exists today."
"This was our first experience with your company & I was very impressed with all aspects."
"I want all to know your hard work and efforts have not gone without appreciation."

It is surely no accident (as the Marxists say) that the fashion for debunking real-life heroes has coincided with the rise of fantasy heroes. Superman, still the most popular of the latter, made his first appearance in DC's Action Comics in 1938 when post-World War I disillusionment with ideas of honor and heroism was at its peak. Not long afterward came Batman, Captain America and others.
Such fantasy figures enjoyed a huge popularity once America entered World War II. "The desire for some big, bright escape that had something to do with fighting off big, bad scary things was a big part of that," says Gerard Jones, the author of Men of Tomorrow: Geeks, Gangsters, and the Birth of the Comic Book (2004). But it also tended to isolate and quarantine heroism in fantasy- land.
Even real heroes eschewed the name. "I'm just a guy doing a job," said William Bendix in the war movie Guadalcanal Diary (1943), and this was a common way for fighting men to talk about what they were doing. Talk of honor, patriotism or noble sacrifice was frowned on by the comic- book-reading soldiers at the front.
Superheroes enjoyed another growth spurt in the Vietnam era, when a whole raft of new ones, including Spider-Man and the Incredible Hulk, were introduced by the two major players in the comic book world, DC and Marvel. At the time, Hollywood was still portraying fighting men that were real, if not always realistic. But with the post-Vietnam reaction against the military and its culture, the U.S. armed forces came to be routinely depicted as institutionally vicious and corrupt and individual soldiers as pathetic victims. There was no shred of heroism in the spate of Vietnam movies that began with Coming Home and The Deer Hunter (1978) or Apocalypse Now (1979).
Instead, the movie business joined in the cultural migration to fantasy with the first Superman movie (1978) and the original Star Wars trilogy -- in which heroism existed but only in "a galaxy far, far away." In First Blood (1982), even patriotism abandoned military institutions in favor of Sylvester Stallone's John Rambo, who was a solitary superhero in all but name, taking on whole armies singlehandedly.
Since 9/11 the trickle of superhero movies has become a flood. There have been two Spider-Man and three X-Men movies (the first of which came out in 2000), as well as The Fantastic Four and The Hulk. They have joined a revival of the Batman and Superman franchises in last summer's Batman Begins and this summer's Superman Returns. Plans for sequels to the Hulk, X-men and Spider-Man movies are well advanced, and Captain America, The Phantom and Ghost Rider are also waiting in the wings.
The latest in superhero fashion is for irony, in the manner of the animated feature The Incredibles (2004) who seem to have gotten their name from the epithet discarded by the Hulk a year earlier in a bid to be taken more seriously. After all, "incredible" can be pretty much taken for granted of all superheroes unless, like the ironic cartoon ones, you want to make a point about their unbelievability.
In a similarly ironic vein, last year, we had Sky High, about a high school for budding superheroes. The arrival of their superpowers is analogous to if not precisely coincidental with that of puberty. Today there opens Zoom, which has basically the same idea. It follows hard on the heels of My Super Ex-Girlfriend, which is about the perils of breaking up with a girl who has superpowers.
It's all a lot of fun, I suppose, but the more we indulge our appetite for the cultural junk food of the superheroic, the harder it becomes to digest the real thing. This is especially true for children, for whom this diet has been primarily designed. The pre-eminent childhood hero now is Harry Potter to all intents and purposes another superhero. Kids have come to crave the sugar-buzz of superheroism to the point where, if they encounter ordinary heroism (if that's not an oxymoron) in old books, it must seem bland and unexciting.
Can it be entirely coincidental that adults, too, have had their appetite for the heroic spoiled? Both of this year's big 9/11 movies, for instance Paul Greengrass's "United 93" and Oliver Stone's "World Trade Center" have played down the real and undoubted heroism of some of their characters in order to emphasize the passive suffering of others.
On the plane that crashed in Pennsylvania, we know the names Todd Beamer, Jeremy Glick, Thomas Burnett and Mark Bingham of at least four of the men who led the passengers' revolt against the hijackers, but Mr. Greengrass doesn't mention them. Nor does he show them as being especially distinguished for their heroism.
This reticence, we know, was in deference to the wishes of the victims' families, who co-operated with the film-makers on the understanding that, as the coordinator of Pennsylvania's Sept. 11 victim-assistance program told the Washington Post in 2002, "we feel we have forty heroes, and not just four." Why? Because all 40 suffered and died.
Real heroism, for us, is scarcely conceivable apart from victimhood. That's why, in Mr. Stone's film too, almost all the attention is on the two Port Authority policemen, John McLoughlin (Nicolas Cage) and Will Jimeno (Michael Peña), not their rescuers. McLoughlin and Jimeno spend most of the movie pinned helplessly beneath the rubble of the World Trade Center, while their families are waiting, equally helplessly, for news of them.
We may begin to suspect that American movie audiences scarcely know what the old-fashioned hero even looks like anymore, the sort who dares greatly and succeeds by mastering his enemies. On the rare occasions when we have seen one, as in last year's boxing movie Cinderella Man, he has been a box-office disappointment.
Old-time heroes like Wyatt Earp or Davy Crockett may not have been all that we would now wish them to be, but they did have one big thing going for them that the superheroes don't. Their undoubted bravery, resolution and fortitude in the midst of real dangers made them examples for us to emulate, not just fantasy figures to admire.

When building a deck, it is
important to include useful characters. Few things are as
frustrating as not being able to use a character you have in your
territory. Let's examine what makes a character useable.
There are 3 limiting Lost Souls
in Redemption. In a classic 56-card deck, this often means:
1 female hero only
1 N.T. hero only
1 */4 or greater hero only
4 with no limit
Top players will often bury one no limit LS, and rescue 2 no limit LSs
with Son of God and New Jerusalem.
This only leaves 1 no-limit lost soul. The other 3 lost souls must be
rescued by certain heroes.
There are some heroes who can rescue ANY lost soul. These are N.T. female
heroes with at least a 4 for defense.
Here are some "super" heroes:
Mary Magdalene
Mary of Bethany
Peter's Mother-In-law
Philip's Daughters
Abraham (though he must start as Abram)
In a Type 1: 2-player game, if
your opponent has only 7 Lost Souls in his or her deck, and buries one,
and rescues two others with Son of God and New Jerusalem, that leaves only
4 left for you to rescue. Assuming you rescue two of your own Lost
Souls with Son of God and New Jerusalem, that means you have to rescue 3
of your opponent's Lost Souls to win. Three of your opponent's 4
remaining lost souls probably have restrictions: rescue by a female hero,
rescue by a N.T. hero, and rescue by a hero with defense */4 or greater. To get the three you need, you could
rescue two of the restricted souls and the one unrestricted lost
soul, but that might require waiting until your opponent has drawn every
lost soul in the deck.
In order to remain fairly
active on the hero side, try to include at least 3 female heroes, at least 3 N.T. heroes,
and at least 3 heroes with toughness of */4 or greater in your deck. N.T. female heroes
with toughness of */4 or greater are especially
useful. There is an evil character that is immune to female heroes,
and one immune to N.T. heroes, but they are rather easily defeated.
It is clearly worth including characters that can rescue any lost soul.
Here are the percentage of lost
souls (not counting the */4 lost soul) that can be rescued by a hero
meeting certain requirements:
Female N.T. heroes: 100%
N.T. male
heroes: 86%
O.T. female
heroes: 86%
O.T. male
heroes: 71%
This is based on 7 available
Lost Souls. Of course, if your opponent is using a deck with more
Lost Souls, these percentages will increase. However, the
percentages decrease with every Burial, Son of God, and New Jerusalem
played on a regular lost soul. Overall, it is a fairly good
estimation of the amount of rescue attempts that can be started with such
a character.
Evil Characters
Note: this section does not
account for King characters
Having a super-powerful evil
character that you can't block with is worse than having a weak evil
character you can use. Here are the evil characters can be prevented
from blocking:
Abilities of */8 or higher -
Widow keeps the 34 evil characters with high defense from
blocking. Many many more can be prevented from blocking in Type 2
because of experience credit. Most of these characters can block if
Crown of Thorns is activated, but that is the only option aside from
loading a deck with mostly small to medium-sized characters. The
main problem with using several small characters, of course, is a
by-the-numbers deck. My favorite strategy: the emperors (except
Claudius). They are good on offense, which will likely produce
mutual destruction against by-the-numbers heroes, but are weak enough on
defense to be able to block Widow. Another reason the emperors are
alright is if your opponent converts one of yours, you have a hero with 10
for offense!
Royal Family - King
David keeps the 25 evil characters who are members of a royal
family from blocking. He does a good job shutting down the Emperors
and many brown brigade evil characters. Don't include more than a
couple such evil characters in your deck.
Demons - Three Nails
keeps the 23 demons from blocking. Many of those characters
are very powerful. Because it is an artifact, Three Nails can be
combined with a hero with "ignore" or "can't be blocked
by" ability to prevent many characters from blocking. Don't
rely on all demons.
Females - Eve prevents
the 20 female evil characters from blocking. It is advisable
to include a couple female evil characters so that Women as Snares doesn't
destroy your deck, but having all female ECs in your deck would be a
disaster against Eve.
Gold Brigade - Miriam
prevents the 20 gold brigade evil characters from blocking.
If you play Gold for evil, it is wise to include another brigade as well,
or at minimum a few artifacts to stop her (Unholy Writ, Priestly Breastplate, and
Thirty Pieces of Silver.)
Pharisees and Sadducees - Nicodemus
prevents 10 characters from entering battle. That is a small
group, but they include some of the main "initiative" characters for
black and gray.
Beasts - Crossbeams of
the Cross prevents the 6 beasts from entering battle. Three
Nails keeps all of them out, too. Don't build a beast-intensive
deck. Don't include more than a couple in a deck.
Giants - Caleb prevents
the 5 giants from blocking. That isn't very many characters,
but they are widely used. Unless Crown of Thorns is activated, Widow
prevents most giants from blocking, too.
Egyptians - Jochebed and
Journey to Egypt both ignore all 5 Egyptians. Add Miriam to
that and you have 3 brigades that have a way to keep all Egyptians from
blocking. Drowning of Pharaoh's Army gives yet another brigade a way
to defeat Egyptians. If you are going to build an Egyptian deck,
include Priestly Breastplate and Thirty Pieces of Silver at minimum.
Consider using another brigade in addition to Gold.
Specific evil characters -
Lot's Wife, Lahmi, Saph, Nabal, and other characters can be discarded in
territory or prevented from entering battle by certain heroes.
Who can I rely on using?
Male non-demon evil characters
whose defense is 7 or less, who are neither giants, Pharisees, Sadducees,
Egyptians, nor part of a royal family.
I hear you thinking. You
are thinking "But the evil characters that are left are weak and don't have
spectacular special abilities!" The answer: That is the
point. With great power comes the chance you won't get to use
it. Less spectacular evil characters are at least more
reliable. There are a few gems to be discovered among those reliable
evil guys: The Serpent, Chief Captain Lysias, Hermogenes, Cain, Korah, Leper,
Abimelech. Notice a trend? Most of these come from the
Patriarchs set. Not super powerful, but super reliable, and worth
including in a deck.
If you have any suggestions for
improving these comments, please let me know.

A CRM is essential to help you manage your client and lead database. Which real estate CRM should you choose? Check out our top ten list for recommendations
New Agents Productivity Tips Realtor Success Tips
Managing customer relationships and the data associated with them is essential for the success of any real estate agent. While all of us need a place to live, most people you reach out to will not be ready to buy or sell a home. That's why it's so important to keep your contacts in your sphere of influence, and stay in their mind until they need your real estate services.
However, managing your client and prospect relationships on your own can be extremely difficult. Not too long ago, this process was quite tedious and required maintaining spreadsheets that made it very difficult to retrieve and manage data.
Luckily, this is no longer the case. CRM software solutions have automated many customer management tasks, leaving you to focus on other core aspects of your business. In this article, I will introduce you to some of the top CRMs for real estate and go over their main features and functions.
1- LionDesk
Let's start things off with LionDesk. Like the majority of CRMs in this list, LionDesk was created specifically for real estate professionals.
Thanks to its multitude of features, it can easily be an all-in-one solution for real estate agents, brokers, teams, and lenders to improve their operations, boost drip campaigns, and overhaul their client interactions.
LionDesk lets you easily track and store the details of every interaction you've had with your contacts, from emails to phone calls in a single all-encompassing platform. Its interface is highly intuitive and easy to navigate, making it easier to jump in and start using it as quickly as possible.
In addition, it includes tools not available in other CRMS, such as video emails and video texting. These can be created quickly and intuitively directly from LionDesk, without the need of a third party video editor.
LionDesk also you automate your drip campaigns in a matter of minutes, and keep track of its results instantly.
And if you're migrating from a different CRM (or if up to this point you were simply keeping track of all your interactions on a spreadsheet) LionDesk's data migration tools lets you easily import contacts from third-party CRMS and spreadsheets.
And if all of these features weren't enough, LionDesk offer four plans to choose from: The Free Trial, Starter, PRO+, and Elite.
These packages share the same core CRM features, but differ in terms of monthly credits and certain premium add-ons. Here is quick overview of these plans:
- Free Trial: This option lets you try out LionDesk and get used to its user interface. It gives you 15 texts, 5 video texts, 150 emails, and 5 lead assists.
- Starter: This package costs $25 per month and comes with all the standard features + monthly credits of 1,000 emails and 15 texts.
- PRO+: This package costs $49 per month and comes with all starter features + monthly credits of 5,000 emails, 1,000 texts, and 100 video texts.
- Elite: This package costs $99 per month and comes with all PRO+ features + monthly credits of 15,000 emails, 3,000 texts, and 300 video texts.
2- Follow Up Boss
Follow Up Boss is another CRM built specifically for real estate. And in recent years, it has gained quite a lot of traction amongst real estate brokers and teams in recent years.
And there's a good reason for that increase in popularity. Follow Up Boss offers excellent organization, marketing, outreach, and lead nurturing tools, perfect for both real estate teams, small brokerages, even individual agents.
Just like LionDesk, Follow Up Boss has an amazingly intuitive user interface that allows you to figure out its tools as quickly and painlessly as possible.
All the core functions of the Follow Up Boss platform are featured in a single interface, making it easy to find the right contacts, keep track of all your tasks, active campaigns, and add new leads.
Follow Up Boss comes in three flavors:
Grow – This option costs $69 per user/month ($57/month on its annual plan), and it includes all the core Follow Up Boss CRM features. In addition, it provides you with a company number, two-way texting, website tracking pixel, email open and click tracking, and many other features.
Pro – This option costs $499 for up to 10 users/month ($416 on its annual plan), and it includes all the features of the Grow plan, plus additional features such as a White Glove CRM migration, Phone Number + Dialer for all, Calle Recording and Reporting, Inbound Calls and Shared Inboxes, and much more.
Platform – This option costs $1,000 for up to 30 users/month ($833/month on its annual plan). In includes all the features of the Grow and Pro plans, plus Priority Support, a Dedicated Success Manager, API access and support, Teams within Teams, and much more.
3- KVCore
KVCore is a cloud-based CRM platform specifically designed with modern brokerages in mind. As with any cloud-based solution, KVCore provides immense flexibility of access to its users, and much more security than an office server could provide.
Although we are primarily talking about KVCore's CRM capabilities, this is an all-in-one real estate marketing platform. It's myriad of features effortlessly closes the gap between a real estate website and a CRM, making it superbly efficient when it comes to capturing leads and storing new leads' information automatically.
In fact, KVCore allows agents to track all client interactions and referrals in the same interface and helps them stay on top of their local market via the property alert feature.
Another distinctive feature of KVCore is its advanced behavioral automation system. Emails and texts are fully automated and each message is given a unique and personalized tone. This will pay dividends down the road as behavioral automation helps build stronger relationships with customers.
KVCore prices range from around $500 per month for 5 agents to $1200 per month for larger teams. This might seem like a significant jump relative to Follow up Boss. However, it is important to keep in mind that KVCore is an all-in-one solution.
KVCore comes with its own website platform and does not require setting up a separate site with an IDX feed.

4- Top Producer
If you've been a real estate agent for a while, there's an excellent chance you've seen, used or at least been exposed to Top Producer. This CRM (owned by Move Inc. the same corporation that owns Realtor.com) has a long history, being around since 1982.
As one of the oldest CRMs geared towards real estate agents in the market, its primary selling point is the huge amount of battle-tested features geared towards making a real estate agent's life easier.
It features drip campaigns, marketing materials, and the Market Snapshot feature, which helps keep homeowner's engaged long after the transaction.
Users also have access to a personal "follow up coach" that helps them nurture leads through one-touch actions and smart suggestions.
This system is ideal for building lifelong relationships with new prospects and maintaining the ones that you have with your existing pool of clients.
However, one of the biggest issues (which have plagued this CRM for decades now) is it's utterly outdated user interface. Remember why we made a big deal of LionDesk and Follow Up Boss having an exceptionally intuitive user interface? This CRM is why.
Though to be fair, Top Producer has tried to update its UI, and there are some definite improvements in the last few years, you can definitely tell that this is a platform originally created in the '80s.
So why is this CRM so highly on the list? Because of its sheer number of features, integrations, and affordability.
Pricing wise, this is one of the most affordable options on this list. The starter plan includes all the core Top Producer CRM features and costs just $40 per month.
The professional plan comes at $70 per month and includes CRM features + Market Snapshot, a market follow-up that provides agents with valuable hyperlocal data.
Finally, the advanced plan costs $80 per month and includes FiveStreet, Top Producer's high-end lead response & management tool.
A list of the top real estate CRMs wouldn't be complete without the inclusion of WiseAgent. WiseAgent has been around since 2001, and continues to grow and develop each year into a more formidable CRM.
Compared to other CRMs, Wise Agent is a simpler more elegant beast that focuses on doing one thing really really well: manage client relationships.
If that's really all you need, and you don't want to overcomplicate your life by getting a CRM that takes a college course to understand, Wise Agent is the right CRM for you.
Wise agent also produces a monthly newsletter that you can customize and send to your sphere of influence. Thus, this makes it a great platform to get started with your content marketing strategy.
Users get a combination of contact management tools, lead automation, and transaction management all at the fraction of the cost of comparable CRMs. In fact, pricing starts at just $29 per month and there is even a free version that is more than serviceable for newer agents.
The basic functions of this CRM are ideal for agents who don't like to overthink client relationship management. Adding customer information and transaction checklists is a breeze and the landing pages are easy to build and integrate into Facebook and Google ad campaigns.
6. Realvolve
Realvolve is unique among all other CRMs in this list in the way it handles workflows. While it offers all the essential features that you want in a good CRM (easy handling of new contacts, tools to help you follow up on them) and it's one of the most customizable CRMs in the market. It lets you organize contacts and transactions with tags. These tags let you organize and search transactions easily, and while it takes some time to get used to it, once you do, you'll never go back.
Realvolve also has an iPhone and Android app.
Pricing starts at $41/month (if paid annually) for a single agent, and it offers a free 14-day trial.
7- Pipedrive
If you're familiar with Trello, or other "Kanban" organizational tools and models, you'll feel right at home with Pipedrive. Pipedrive ensures an outstanding user experience thanks to drag-and-drop, task-oriented design, which makes moving, arranging, and updating CRM tasks extremely easy.
In addition to this, users can track communication with clients through a visual sales pipeline.
As you would expect from any good CRM, Pipedrive users are provided with several types of reminders that help them keep track of their activities and stay on top of every detail regarding client communication.
The follow-up alert is especially useful in that capacity. Furthermore, the notifications and alerts can be received either within the system or via email on a mobile device.
Customizability is another strong feature of Pipedrive. The integrations that are available to users are comparable to what some higher-priced CRMs offer and the workflow on the dashboard can be easily adjusted to reflect your own sales process.
Considering the wide range of features that Pipedrive comes with, the price is very affordable. The entry-level package for a single user starts at just $15 per month and you can even try the CRM for free for up to 14 days.
8- Contactually
This cloud-based CRM software has become one of the go-to options for businesses that are looking to establish personalized communication with their clients. The simple design of the dashboard coupled with the great tracking features makes organizing contact lists and tracking client engagement extremely convenient.
Real estate agents will have an easy time following up on potential leads, generating referrals, and capitalizing on conversion opportunities.
Contactually's effectiveness lies in its focus on the two essential components of customer relationship management: prioritizing current relationships and rekindling old ones. Unlike many other CRMs, Contactually lets you organize your contacts in order of importance and relevance to your goals.
This results in a more efficient workflow and greater productivity when it comes to nurturing leads and keeping relationships.
Users get to enjoy a 2-week trial before deciding on a plan. Contactually offers two packages at the moment: The professional plan that costs $69 per month and the Accelerator plan that comes at $119 per month.
The great thing about Contactually's packages is that the core CRM features are virtually the same for both plans. The only notable difference between the two is the quality of the support.
9- HubSpot's CRM
As one of the leading providers of marketing technology solutions for real estate professionals, it is only natural that HubSpot would end up on this list.
While customer relationship management tools are a recent addition to their software package, HubSpot's CRM is already making waves as an affordable alternative to some of the more pricey options on the market. There is even a free version that is more than workable.
As far as functions go, HubSpot's tool does everything that you need from a CRM. It organizes your contact, responds to inquiries, automates workflow, and maintains contact with past clients. Other highlights of the HubSpot's CRM include email templates, click-to-call functionality, and free meeting scheduling.
Like I mentioned above, the free version of HubSpot's CRM is quite serviceable. With that being said, you should note that there are a lot of premium functions that you could add to your free plan. This freemium approach results in lower upfront costs and allows businesses to pick and choose the features that match their needs.
10- Agile CRM
This is probably the most versatile CRM on this list. In fact, Agile CRM is not even marketed specifically to real estate professionals.
Users of this highly effective software solution include Saas companies, call centers, and eCommerce businesses. Still, the CRM comes with a host of functions that suit the needs of agents and brokers and is definitely an option that is worth considering.
The platform is fully customizable and easily adaptable to any workflow. It puts a number of automation, management, and tracking tools at your disposal and boasts unlimited document storage and appointment setting. This is ideal for streamlining a small team's workflow on a single platform.
Agile CRM is free for up to 10 users. This plan gives you access to a decent number of functions that are seldom included in free packages, namely 2-way Email integration and custom data fields. For more advanced features, users can opt for a Starter plan ($8.99 per month) or a Regular plan ($29.99 per month).
Are you a current AgentFire client? Well, you will be glad to know that AgentFire integrates with every CRM in this list!

The bros special sauce that they put on their boneless wings is amazing, you need to try it. from other experiences with brothers when I was moving and I needed to feed the 8 to 10 people that helped, I ordered one of their famous 24-in pizzas and that did the trick with feeding everybody happily. If there's a need to celebrate, then it's brothers. If there's a need to feed loads amount of people pizza and not have to spend more than 50 bucks, then it's brothers. - Oscar Peterson
This is the best pizza place in the 757. The crust is about as good as it gets. Toppings are great. Service is always on point, the owner I helped a few times when u sold phones and he prides himself on that. O and do yourself a favor and get the garlic knots, the are covered in buttery garlicy goodness!!
Love the food options at Brother's. They were voted best wings for a reason. Always great. Love the pizza, especially the HUGE one when the games on. More than enough for the whole family. Highly recommend going to ALL of their locations. - Mark Garcia
What an amazing pizza. We enjoyed every bite of it. Fresh hot and great amount of toppings. Delivered on time and no hassles. Thank you Brothers for my mother's day evening pizza. - Patty Preston
Good people clean environment family-friendly type of place. The food exceeded our expectations and some. Pizza tasted authentic and the wings with the brother sauce is not to be missed. This is became a favorite of mine💓💖 - Corinne Windley
The people, food and the prime locations make Rodich the perfect place good friends & family to come together and have great time. Everytime you perfectly dine with us, it should happy for great inspired food in an environment designed with individual touches unique to the local area.

Clemson University in South Carolina, US has dedicated the Rudolph Lee Hall after a $31.6 million renovation, restoration and expansion.
McMillan Pazdan Smith Architecture has designed the project, in collaboration with Thomas Phifer and Partners of New York. Atlanta's Holder Construction Co. served as the construction manager. The project involved a 55,000 square feet expansion of the hall. The building imbibes several eco-friendly elements. It offsets all its energy usage with its own renewable energy. It has been equipped with 53 external and internal skylights which maximise natural light penetration. The skylights and window walls of the building have been built to reduce lighting requirements during daytime. The facility also comprises a geothermal heating and cooling system.

How does Google discriminate against conservatives? As a software engineer who used to work for Google, I could point to many examples, but let's start with YouTube's "Restricted Mode." Targeted at libraries, schools, and public institutions, Restricted Mode filters out "videos containing potentially adult content," effectively censoring videos in places where it's enabled.
In October 2016, several publications wrote about how Restricted Mode worked to hide educational videos from conservatives. A few years later, a Google vice president would not even concede to Congress that a PragerU video on the Ten Commandments had been restricted by mistake. The explanation was so absurd — Google said the video's discussion of the commandment against murder constituted a "reference" to murder "and potentially Nazism" — that founder Dennis Prager joked he would re-release the video as the "Nine Commandments" to remove the commandment against murder.
In March 2017, publications such as TechCrunch, Gizmodo and The Guardian wrote about how Restricted Mode was hiding educational videos from the LGBT community. A few days later, YouTube responded on Twitter: "Sorry for all the confusion with Restricted Mode. Some videos have been incorrectly labeled and that's not right. We're on it! More to come."
Sadly, this example fits a larger pattern of discrimination: when the same problem affects multiple demographics, Google only fixes the problem for some demographics, often ignoring other demographics such as conservatives (and also Christians). (RELATED: Think Google Controls The News? It's Worse Than You Think, Experts Say)
In June 2017, Google was asked whether it welcomed conservative perspectives during its annual board meeting. Then-chairman, Eric Schmidt, responded that Google was founded under the principles of freedom of expression, diversity, inclusion and science-based thinking.
To that point, Google's diversity curriculum does cite a number of scientific studies on racial or gender bias. Interestingly enough, similar studies using the same techniques have also provided scientific evidence for political bias; one such study found that political bias distorted the evaluation of resumes.
Since then, additional studies have discovered that learning others' political beliefs can negatively impact your ability to evaluate their expertise in nonpolitical domains. For a company that emphasizes science-based thinking, you would think that Google would start promoting those studies in its diversity programs.
Instead, they frequently promote far-left theoretical approaches such as intersectionality and critical theory, citing "experts" like Robin DiAngelo. One Google-endorsed talk promoted DiAngelo's book "White Fragility." In that book, DiAngelo wrote, "Whites control all major institutions of society and set the policies and practices that others must live by. Although rare individual people of color may be inside the circles of powers — Colin Powell, Clarence Thomas, Marco Rubio, Barack Obama — they support the status quo and do not challenge racism in any way significant enough to be threatening."
During my first week at Google, Google became the first major tech company to publicly release its diversity data for racial and gender diversity. When I and others started pushing Google to collect and publish data on viewpoint diversity, though, we consistently ran into a brick wall. (RELATED: PayPal Partnership With SPLC Marks Era Of Censorship)
Google's own book, "How Google Works," says that you need data: "You cannot be gender-, race-, and color-blind by fiat; you need to create empirical, objective methods to measure people. Then the best will thrive, regardless of where they're from and what they look like." Yet time and time again, Google has taken the exact opposite approach on political diversity, declaring that they are politically neutral by fiat, yet never providing the data to prove it. Even Google CEO Sundar Pichai took this approach when he testified before Congress.
Google's selective application of its principles has become so endemic that it affects Google's products as well, including the very definition of algorithmic unfairness: "unjust or prejudicial treatment of people that is related to sensitive characteristics such as race, income, sexual orientation, or gender, through algorithmic systems or algorithmically aided decision-making."
In congressional testimony, one Google director said, "We build for everyone, including every single religious belief, every single demographic, every single region, and certainly every political affiliation." Google's definition of algorithmic unfairness, which was leaked to Project Veritas, tells a different story. Google does not build products for "every single demographic." Instead, it selectively builds products for demographics with "sensitive characteristics."
At Google, all demographics are equal, but some demographics are more equal than others.
Of course, that leads to this inevitable question: what characteristics are considered sensitive? The leaked document later says that sensitive characteristics "are especially likely to include characteristics that are associated with less privileged or marginalized populations." For those who are familiar with the language of intersectionality, you know what that means.
If you are treated unfairly because of your race, that would qualify as algorithmic unfairness. If you are treated unfairly because you are a conservative, that would not qualify as algorithmic unfairness. If you are treated unfairly because of your religion, it would depend on whether it's a "privileged" religion such as Christianity or a "marginalized" religion such as Islam. (RELATED: How Major News Organizations, Universities And Businesses Surrender Their Privacy To Google)
Yes, it's true that if you're training a machine to recognize faces, but your training data lacks racial diversity, your product will perform worse with minorities. It's also true that if you're training a machine to detect hate speech, but your training data lacks political diversity, your product will perform worse on conservative content.
Both are legitimate problems, but the decision of which problems meets Google's definition of algorithmic unfairness, of which problems are more equal than others, is a decision that's made by Google's employees, not by Google's algorithms.
Google's "Machine Learning Fairness" initiative highlights a number of vanguard projects, including one familiar project: Restricted Mode. If Restricted Mode runs into a problem that affects women, minorities, or people who use the pronoun "zie," you can rest assured that Google will fix it.
If you're Dennis Prager, though, it looks like you'll have to keep avoiding the Ten Commandments.

We continue to review some of the most important materials in heat treatment and metallurgy.
Thallium (chemical symbol: Tl)
Thallium (Fig. 1) is a malleable and lustrous silvery metal that resembles lead in physical appearance. It has a low melting point and will tarnish in air to a bluish-gray oxide, and it is so soft that it can be easily cut with a knife. Both elemental thallium and its compounds are highly toxic, and direct contact with the skin should be avoided. In fact, thallium sulfate (Fig. 2) was the poisoning agent in the Agatha Christie novel The Pale Horse in 1961, where she accurate describes the symptoms of thallium poisoning: lethargy, numbness, blackouts, slurred speech and general debility.
Sir William Crookes first discovered thallium in 1861 when he was extracting selenium from a deposit leftover in a sulfuric-acid factory. At first the leftover residue after the selenium extraction appeared to be the element tellurium, but he was unsuccessful at isolating it. He analyzed the residue spectroscopically and was unable to match the bright green line in the spectrum with any known element.
Further analysis determined that what he discovered was the presence of a new element. He named it after the Greek word "thallos," meaning a green shoot or twig referring to the bright green spectral emission line he observed. Crookes was unable to isolate the pure element due to having such a limited supply. However, it was isolated only a year later by Claude-Auguste Lamy, an independent researcher who had a larger supply to work with.
Thallium has applications that span multiple industries and has a long history of use. The tasteless and odorless thallium sulfate was once marketed as a powerful rat poison and ant killer, but it was prohibited from being sold in many countries, including the U.S., since 1972 for safety reasons. Thallium is also seen in photoresistors (Fig. 3) because of its electrical-conductivity changes when exposed to infrared light. Furthermore, it can also be used to make glass that has a high index of refraction for specialty purposes.
Thallium iodide is also used as an additive in metal-halide lamps, where it helps optimize lamp temperature and color rending to shift the spectral output of the light to the green region, which makes it ideal for underwater lighting applications.
Here are a few important facts about thallium.[2,5]
- Atomic number: 81
- Atomic weight: 204.3833
- Melting point: 577 K (304°C or 579°F)
- Boiling point: 1746 K (1473°C or 2683°F)
- Density: 11.8 grams per cubic centimeter
- Phase at room temperature: Solid
- Element classification: Metal
- Period number: 6
- Group number: 13
- Group name: none
- Electron configuration: [Xe] 4f14 5d10 6s2 6p1

- China said on Monday it would levy new duties on thousands of American products.
- That came days after the US hiked tariff rates on $200 billion worth of Chinese imports.
- The tariffs are set to take effect on June 1.
- Visit Markets Insider's homepage for more stories.
China said on Monday it would retaliate against the US by raising tariffs on thousands of American products, days after the Trump administration expanded duties on Chinese imports and trade negotiations stalled.
Beijing plans to increase tariffs on $60 billion worth of American imports starting June 1, China's Ministry of Finance said. The nearly 2,500 items will face duties ranging between 5% and 25%.
That came after the US more than doubled the tariff rate on $200 billion worth of Chinese imports on Friday, a move meant to penalize Beijing for making reversals on past trade commitments.
President Donald Trump has also threatened to impose duties on all remaining shipments from China, which are valued at more than $300 billion.
Progress toward defusing those escalations remained elusive last week even after Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer met with Vice Premier Liu He in Washington for two days of negotiations.
Just hours before Beijing's announcement on Monday, Trump taunted China in a series of early morning tweets and urged President Xi Jinping to refrain from moving forward with plans to retaliate.
"I say openly to President Xi & all of my many friends in China that China will be hurt very badly if you don't make a deal because companies will be forced to leave China for other countries. Too expensive to buy in China," he wrote on Twitter. "You had a great deal, almost completed, & you backed out!"
This story is developing. Check back for updates.
Here's a timeline of the US-China trade war so far:
- March 1, 2018: President Donald Trump announces tariffs on all imports of steel and aluminum, including metals from China.
- March 22, 2018: Trump announces plans to impose 25% tariffs on $50 billion worth of Chinese goods. China announces tariffs in retaliation to the steel and aluminum duties and promises a response to the latest US announcement.
- April 3, 2018: The US trade representative announces a list of Chinese goods subject to the tariffs. There is a mandatory 60-day comment period for industries to ask for exemptions from the tariffs.
- April 4, 2018: China rolls out a list of more than 100 US goods worth roughly $50 billion that are subject to retaliatory tariffs.
- May 21, 2018: After a meeting, the two countries announce the outline of a trade deal to avoid the tariffs.
- May 29, 2018: The White House announces that the tariffs on $50 billion worth of Chinese goods will move forward, with the final list of goods released June 15. The move appears to wreck the nascent trade deal.
- June 15, 2018: Trump rolls out the final list of goods subject to new tariffs. Chinese imports worth $34 billion would be subject to the new 25% tariff rate as of July 6, with another $16 billion worth of imports subject to the tariff at a later date. China retaliates with an equivalent set of tariffs.
- June 18, 2018: Trump threatens 10% tariffs on another $200 billion worth of Chinese goods.
- July 6, 2018: The first tranche of tariffs on $34 billion worth of Chinese goods takes effect; China responds in kind.
- July 10, 2018: The US releases an initial list of an additional $200 billion worth of Chinese goods that could be subject to 10% tariffs.
- August 1, 2018: Washington more than doubles the value of its tariff threats against Beijing, announcing plans to increase the size of proposed duties on $200 billion worth of Chinese goods to 25% from 10%.
- August 3, 2018: China says it will impose tariffs of various rates on another $60 billion worth of US goods if Trump moves forward with his latest threat.
- August 7, 2018: The US announces that the second tranche of tariffs, which would hit $16 billion worth of Chinese goods, will take effect August 23.
- August 23, 2018: The US imposes tariffs on another $16 billion worth of Chinese goods, and Beijing responds with tariffs on $16 billion worth of US goods.
- September 7, 2018: Trump says the tranche of tariffs on $200 billion worth of Chinese goods is coming "soon" and threatens to impose tariffs on another $267 billion worth of Chinese goods.
- September 17, 2018: The US imposes tariffs on $200 billion worth of Chinese goods, and the tariff rate is scheduled to increase to 25% from 10% on January 1.
- December 1, 2018: Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping sit down at the G20 summit in Argentina, where the two leaders hash out a trade truce, delaying the escalation of US tariffs until March 1.
- December 4, 2018: Despite the truce, Trump tweets that he is still a "Tariff Man" and says a deal will get done only if it is in the best interest of the US.
- February 24: After a series of negotiations, Trump announces that US tariffs will not increase on March 1. He delays the increase indefinitely.
- May 5: After apparent progress in talks, Trump suddenly threatens to raise tariffs to 25% within the week and threatens new tariffs on another $325 billion of Chinese goods.

Despite sex clubs being closed and the practice of high-contact professions being banned to curb the spread of coronavirus Covid-19, many sex workers in the Netherlands are still working, only from home. They have bills to pay and some are not eligible for government social security schemes and emergency funds, Nieuwsuur reports after speaking to sex workers and associations that represent them.
"I worked in different clubs, including the Hague and Amsterdam. There was only one other option: I decided to work at home. Also because there was demand from my customers," one sex worker said to the program. "A lot of my colleagues from the clubs are doing the same thing: they work from home or rent a room with a friend." She expects that more sex workers will follow suit as the soft lockdown continues. "They'll have to, because you can't go hungry. It is like the hairdresser, I can't go there now, so the hairdresser comes to my house. Life goes on, but under the radar."
"The rent has to be paid and there has to be bread on the table," escort Lyle Muns of the non-profit brothel My Red Light said to Nieuwsuur. "The longer the intelligent lockdown lasts, the more colleagues will return to work so as not to lose customers unnecessarily."
Minke Fisscher of Belle, a relief agency for sex workers and victims of human trafficking, pointed out to Nieuwsuur that not all sex workers can claim social security or from emergency funds, because not everyone in prostitution is self-employed or have a DigiD. Thousands of people are ending up in financial trouble, she said.
There are no hard figures about the number of sex workers currently operating from home, but around 150 advertisements per day are placed on erotic sites like Kinky, Seksjobs and Speurders, according to the program.

You cannot go wrong with a little Canadian Beast to start your day. Snakebite BMX went through the old "Velvet Taxi" video and took all of the Jay Miron footage and packed it into one dialed video filled with big floating 540's, lofty backflips, girls in bikini's and more. This footage might be over 20 years old, but it's still absolute fire. Enjoy!
I always sit down and watch Jinx clothing's 'Velvet Taxi' For the Jay Miron footage. So i decided to make a lil' remix to make it easier. From him killing German mini ramps, riding flatland,Going ham at Marseille, destroying cement vert ramps on the beach (if someone knows where this is please tell me), going crazy at sheep hills, and destroying some So Cal pools including the Nude Bowl. Jay's riding in Velvet Taxi was so high level at that time from almost landing a triple truck driver and fully committing to a double flip all about a year before the resi mat showed up. True gladiator style. Im pretty sure this was all filmed from 93′ to 95′.
All hail the 'Canadian Beast'! We miss seeing you charge!" – Snakebite
