Political Beliefs and CEO Pay/
During the creation of my blog post on the next generation of women leaders, I'd expected the dawning of a new era for women leaders, and with this in mind, I wrote about the obstacles that women leaders face after they've made it to the top. But, despite predictions, our nation's highest glass ceiling was not shattered last November. Of course, that post still applies to women CEOs around the world, even if not to our president-elect. Regardless of personal politics, it is obvious that the race to win the position of America's CEO illustrated some intriguing differences between what Republicans and Democrats value in their leaders. If we wanted to drastically simplify the aims of each party, we could simply look to their candidates' books. For instance, the title of Hillary Rodham Clinton's It Takes a Village says it all: today's Democrats cherish social justice and equality. Likewise, Donald Trump's titles The Art of the Deal and How to Get Rich could provide a snapshot of what today's Republicans prize: individualism and free markets. So while some of us were outraged when Trump's response to Clinton's observation that he had rooted for the housing crisis was, "That's called business," others of us thought such a stance denoted strong leadership.
According to Abhinav Gupta and Adam J. Wowak's 2016 article "The Elephant (or Donkey) in the Boardroom: How Board Political Ideology Affects CEO Pay," this diverging of ethos isn't confined to the political realm. In fact, the business decisions made by a company's board are just as tied to ideology. And when it comes to leadership and compensation, research shows that conservatives tend to hold the CEO responsible for a company's success, and so they pay him or her in a way that reflects that perceived worth (i.e.: more). Liberals, on the other hand, tend to believe that the company's success comes from a team effort—it takes a village—and the company's spending, including the CEO's paycheck, reflects that feeling (i.e.: the CEO is paid less). Perhaps this contributes to the fact that, according to CNBC, "the average pay for an S&P 500 CEO was $12.4 million in 2015, or 335 times the pay of a rank-and-file worker, according to a new report from the AFL-CIO," a wealth disparity Trump's proposed tax cuts would buoy if implemented.
This finding leads us to why conservatives might have assumed that Trump was the right man for the job: He's rich (and he's not afraid to brag about it. Though just how rich is still unclear). And surely he must be rich because he's a good CEO ("good" as defined by conservatives), and if he's a good CEO, he must be worthy of not just the corner office but the Oval Office.
Herein lies the double-edged sword—or the potential for just deserts, depending on where you lie on the political spectrum. Unlike liberal-leaning boards, which hold a CEO responsible but also take into account issues of social welfare and circumstances outside the CEO's control, conservative board members tend to evaluate the CEO on delivery above all else. And since Trump claims that "[he] alone can fix it," citizens will be expecting the new CEO to deliver on his promises—to make America strong again, to make America proud again, to make America safe again, to make America great again, and to make all of our wildest dreams come true.

The dangers of too much detox
A woman was left disabled after following a "detox" diet which involved drinking large quantities of water. Although doctors stress the need to avoid dehydration by drinking enough fluids, drinking more than enough is a different matter. The human body may be mostly water, but you can have too much of a good thing. In the most serious cases, "water intoxication" can kill, and there is, say experts, scant evidence that drinking even slightly more water than usual can improve your health.

To start a business, a proprietor needs to make a lot of decisions. Including things such as which bank has the right deal, and which location will be the right fit, all the way down to floor, ceiling and wall finishes.
I expected to have to make lots of decisions and, in some ways, relished in the fact that I was ultimately in charge of ALL of them. But the ones that I thought would be easy were considerably harder than expected. Even simple things like what table and chair finish to use. Balancing out top-of-the-line desires with a build budget doesn't always work well.
So compromises are made, but where to compromise and where not to compromise are also tough decisions. A compromise here could save me thousands of dollars, but is that right for the customer? Or by making that compromise, am I selling myself short on my ambiance or customer service potential? Most of the time, it came down to asking myself one question: Are my customers going to turn away because of this decision? For example, right now, I can't afford 100 chairs all made of solid wood, so I have metal chairs with wood seats as a compromise. You know, the kind you see at nearly every smaller start-up these days. 😉 But, are my customers going to turn away because I don't have wood chairs? No. (I hope not.) So that money is better spent somewhere else, like the pretty pricey, but visually stunning (and properly "tuned" for beer serving pressure and temperature) beer tap system I'm putting in. (I know the anticipation is killing you and I won't post a picture of it, yet.) This place is about beer, so the beer should be the centerpiece, not the chairs.
Here's a partial list of some of the other decisions (and not-really-decisions) that have come across my desk over the past months.
- Coke or Pepsi?
- What type of flooring? What pattern/color?
- What color should the walls be?
- What color do you want for the bathroom stall partitions? (Yep, even have to choose those.)
- How much kitchen equipment do I put in? (Read: how much can I afford.)
- TVs or no TVs, or just one TV?
- Which brewery equipment supplier? How many fermentation tanks?
- We have to put a wall and door here, even though you didn't want one, is that ok?
- Well, if you have to, do I really have a choice?
- How many point of sale terminals? Who is supplying them?
- How much wine and liquor are you going to sell?
- Where do we run the soda line from the back room?
- What type of insulated walk-in cooler floor is going to hold up to 15,000 pounds of beer and 3,500 pounds of stainless steel on it? (Yes, you read that right. 15,000 pounds of beer. This was the subject of multiple discussions and multiple decision changes.)
- What type of ceiling? What color?
- Bar top – wood, metal or stone? (I'm pretty proud of this decision and can't wait to show you.)
- What type of bathroom vanity top?
- We have to move your office to the farthest, darkest corner of the space is that ok?
- Again… not really a choice.
- What color should the bathroom doors be?
- Can you send the electrician examples of the types of light fixtures you want?
- How many outlets do you want? Where?
- By the way, we have outlets under the bar on the customer side, including USB outlets for your use.
View this post on Instagram
I've spent a lot of late nights at the pub by myself lately, working on the final push to open. At least when I'm here, I know I have power right under the bar. Outlets and USB outlets right there for my customers, when I can finally let them in. (And purse/coat hooks too.) #brewpub #brewery #craftbeer #madison #madisoncraftbeer
- How much water are you going to use? (Ummm, all of it.)
- What type of signage are you putting up?
- What type of security system?
- Where do the wi-fi boxes go?
- Where do we put the grease trap?
- Where do we put the soda system?
- Are you going to want to hang stuff on the walls? If so, where? Because we need to reinforce the walls in those spots.
- Shelving too. Can you tell us where that will go?
I'm sure the list could go on for many more bullet points. But you get the idea. Hopefully, I didn't compromise in the wrong place, for the customer, or operationally.

Tanuki, the Russian restaurant chain, with 60 locations throughout Moscow, is opening its first U.S. location.
The restaurant will open at 1080 Alton Rd. some time in the winter.
Tanuki's operating partner/director of operations, Andrew Kaplan (of CheeseMe fame), is overseeing the construction, which is actually a total gutting of the space. "This place needs love," Kaplan said of the restaurant. Everything from the kitchen to the oversized, dark wood bar has been removed.
In its place, Kaplan describes a lively and colorful restaurant with a giant Buddha as focal point, guarding over diners. Floor-to-ceiling windows and skylights will brighten the room. The 80-seat restaurant will also feature reclaimed barnwood beams, an open kitchen, and a large wraparound bar. An outdoor patio will serve about 20 additional people. All in all, Kaplan says that about $2 million is being invested in taking Tanuki to Miami Beach.
With 60 locations, Tanuki is one of the most well-known restaurants in Moscow, with some locations open 24 hours a day. Here in Miami, the restaurant will be open for lunch, dinner, and late-night dining. This is the first location, with more planned.

Tanuki, which is named after an adorable Japanese raccoon dog (the restaurant's mascot), has an extensive menu, with about 150 items. Sushi comprises about 25 percent of the menu, with noodles, dim sum, Peking duck, and soups also being offered. During a recent trip to Moscow, Kaplan was impressed with the restaurant's food. "What really sets them apart was the quality of the food. Everything was the freshest, and the best available."
In addition, Tanuki will carry a large selection of teas and fresh juices.. Kaplan recalls, "When I was in Moscow, they made their own cranberry juice from boiled cranberries and a little sugar. It was so simple but so delicious." Kaplan is seeking out a talented bar manager to help create a cocktail program for Tanuki. "I am looking for someone who really wants to make a name for himself or herself by putting their mark on some unique cocktails."
Tanuki's director of operations says that Alton Road, now opened up after an extended construction period, is the perfect location for the Miami Tanuki. "I really think the west side of Miami Beach is thriving and Alton Road is going to be the next big boom. What I really enjoy about this part of South Beach is that it really is a neighborhood and I want to create a great place for locals to come to."

Cavae Peninsulam, Look About You
Arden Dodge
I've never broken any of my bones. Somehow, I end
up in the doctor's anyway. And it smells like it always does,
smudged lipstick on my nurse's teeth tells me she likes to talk.
She asks why I'm there, and I tell her that I've been fainting a lot.
She knew I needed a refill, her eyes glanced up from the clipboard
in her hands to me. Her eyes landed right below mine.
I've broken my brother's arm before in a field
in the middle of Michigan. My grandmother came running,
limping from a fall when she was nine into the same lake
she sits next to every day with the same man. The dog who can't swim
sleeps in her lap. There is a scar on his hind leg from rusty fish hooks.
She heard him scream as she sat in her living room, brought a storm
into the field we swore adults from, her hair in a towel,
her feet barely missing garden snakes' tales in tall fescue.
I was picked up beneath the arms and taken back
to the house. I could feel the blood shaking
between my ears. She was really scared, I could feel it
in the way she kicked at the screen door.
The nurse, Lipstick, I call her, tells me her daughter
is about to have a baby. His name is going to be William,
after all of the kings. The tiles are yellow, the bags under my eyes
feel like static, so I listen to the girl on one side of me
through the very hollow walls. And then on the other side of me
through plaster, I hear this little baby coughing, sobbing. The mother
sounds like she is sobbing, too, even as another nurse tells her
it was just a cold, there's medicine for everything.
But she says she hasn't slept and Isn't it bad for him?
For a three-month-old to be so sick? She says her husband works
in a hospital, that he's around strangers...all the time.
My grandfather, who could not run with his knees, did it anyway.
Ran to my brother in the field across from the little house, surrounded
by birdfeeders and hauled him onto his back like it was turkey season,
and the air was frigid and he couldn't feel his fingers.
My brother told me two years ago that he could not feel his bones,
that he could only hear my grandfather breathe and that
he had just noticed how pretty it was outside.
You're much lighter than a bird, boy.
I tell Lipstick that I know her grandbaby is going
to be beautiful. She smiles, looks down to the blood
pressure pump and says I'm really scared,
but I've already had my baby. She stops to listen
to the hiccuping on the other side of the wall. I want to tell her
they need to fix something so hollow, I want to say they're really hollow,
Lipstick, the walls. But instead, she tells me that my heart is working, thought I could hear
her tell me no one can hear us.
The baby next to me screams, Lipstick leaves. I want to tell the child
and the mother that he will forget what it feels like to be that sick
in the heat behind his forehead. He'll forget until he feels his pulse
when his baby teeth have all gone, and he's six, on a Tuesday night, not sure
what more there is to lose.

She's won numerous awards nationally and regionally in the Scholastic Art & Writing Awards and is a finalist in the Atlantic Institute Art and Essay Contest. She mostly enjoys writing fiction and personal essays, but loves it when she's on a roll with a poem. This particular piece was inspired by her maternal grandfather and their lake house in Lapeer, Michigan.

There are some people who just can't help but roll the dice. No matter how far ahead or behind they are, they just need to have one more go at the "big win". And as any longtime gambler knows, the win is incomparable elation. Though in the long run, this mentality always loses. Statically, a lifetime of gambling is bankrupting. It leads to broken relationships, distrust and disquieting desperation. With some, the influence to bet it all becomes a certifiable addiction the likes of crack or caffeine or Lost. Those able to delude themselves blindly forgo the notion that the odds are never in their favor. The house always wins.

To put a pin in the beauty of The End of the Tour is a philosophical venture potentially as challenging as James Ponsoldt's latest accomplishment. Detailing a three-day exchange between Rolling Stones journalist David Lipsky and rock star author David Foster Wallace, Ponsoldt's film is talky and emotionally whirling, thick with dry-mouthed moments and cemented with a kind of human earnestness that cannot be bought or bartered for.
Ponsoldt's again adapts from the page - this time working from memoirs penned by Lipsky following Wallace's suicide at 46. Unlike most, he biopics like a pro - offering a detailed potrait of a series of days that succeeds at trying to sum up the two men at its center as they undergo a short but massively influential union of minds.
Taking us 12 years back in time to the tail end of a book tour, David Foster Wallace is an overnight celebrity, lionized for his best-selling existential novel, "Infinite Jest", but uncomfortable in accepting his new VIP status. Infatuated by Wallace's work and hunting for a hot story, David Lipsky - then a Rolling Stones writer still cutting his teeth - takes off to do a profile on the celebrated writer and quickly finds a human counterpart in Wallace's nervous energy and racing mind.
Jason Segel one-ups himself as Wallace, delivering a performance well beyond any potential he's shown before. Breathy and withdrawn, he feels so desperately real. Though quiet, Segel's performance is orchestral; singing in shades and colors that traverse the whole human spectrums. Willing to bear for all his foibles in intimate and profound strokes, he's the kind of tortured human soul that we can all relate to on one level or another. Jesse Eisenberg is equally good, driving home the harsh realities to balance out Wallace's raw pontificating. Eisenberg is so tapped into the minutia of shifts in emotional atmosphere that he can communicate volumes with the faintest flicker of his eyelid. Neither has ever been better.
They verbally spar; intellectual gladiators playing a game of one-upmanship. Unsure if they're best friends or worst enemies, the profile turns to each trying to cut to the heart of why being a human is just so downright hard. As they charge through raw, bookish dialogues, Ponsoldt's intention to craft a love letter to conversation is crystalline.
The End of the Tour has been likened to Richard Linklater's masterful Before series and for good reason. Ponsoldt trades in Linklater's picturesque ambles through European landscapes for the snowy purgatory of middle America (namely Minnesonalopis). His tour takes us to crummy bookstores, down blistery cruvaces and to the national heritage site that is the Mall of America - a literal monument to the glory of consumerism.
As such, his film makes for a pressing portrait of our nation, its values and its populace. But even more importantly, it welcomes us with open arms to this imitate portrait of two brooding, depressive beings.
As a college student, I wrote my senior thesis on "the Meaning of Life" through the lens of Nietzche's "Thus Spake Zarathurstra". It was a wordy but personally meaningful dissection of individual value systems and was my best attempt to cut to the bone of why we do what we do. Classic philosophy student fare. Ponsoldt handles his material with the weight of a philosopher, presenting ideas that feel like they've always been on the tip of our tongue in such an entrancing, elegant manner that they land like hammer strikes to the sternum. He guides us through the human experience with the virtuosity of a never-to-be-forgotten college professor, going for broke and leaving you unequivocally emotionally drip-dried.
Danny Elfman drives the whole thing home with a score that elevates Ponsoldt's emotional arches with heartfelt panache. The result is a soaring independent drama; a Socratic wax on existence itself. Both life-affirming, deeply-affecting and willing to play a dangerous game of bringing you to the brink of tears, The End of the Tour is essential watching - a lovely, beautiful tragedy that will shake you to the bone.

One of which, The Experimenter told the story of Stanley Milgram, administer of increasing electrical shocks and student of peer pressure.

Robert Redford's adaptation of Bill Bryson's popular 1998 memoir A Walk In the Woods is an unremarkable journey with a short sprinkling of low-key chuckles and a heaving dose of schmaltzy sentiment. As Redford's travel companion, co-star Nick Nolte manages to give this low-percolating buddy comedy/road-movie-on-foot at least some minor footing, but its not enough to balance the overwrought equilibrium. Mining the material for all its geriatric sitcom worth, director Ken Kwapis' internal clock ticks with the fervor of a retiree, as he fails to charge the material with any sense of driving momentum. As much as Nolte's character drags his feet, it's Kwapis who lags most. For a film all about the journey forward, that presents a major problem.

After searching online I tried to update picasa and then searched for help.
And found THIS
If you have this trouble too. Go under TOOLS and folder manager and click on the folders you want it to search thru every time and click that blue circle arrow icon...
well I meant to show some pics from EQ7
First, I bought a line of fabric "crazy daisy" from my friend's FB group here
it's an awesome group!! and CHEAP fabrics.
Here's a layout from my accuquilt file, I added solid white, still not that much contrast though.
here's another kaleidoscope one, still not much contrast
I actually woke up this morning with this sort of boxy idea, so I tried this! hmm
then flipped every other box, I like it better!
but I LOVE this... all in white
I added all 8 fabrics I bought and LOVE this :-)
tried to change it to a crooked ladder look but I think I like the offset boxy look better
a flying geese layout, not enough contrast
it helped to add a red, but I don't LOVE it
a simple four patch and white is nice...
Or isosceles triangles
here's a simple star, not enough white
a funny applique file I made a while ago
this file I think was from EQ's website I think, it's called waffles, I just changed the colors
with this line of fabric needs big blocks and lots of white.

Last month, three economists from the University of Zurich published a study suggesting that bankers, while serving in their professional capacity, have a greater tendency to be dishonest than the average person.
The study, which I discussed previously, was based on a survey of roughly 200 employees at a large, presumably European, bank. Its timing, at least for the bank industry, could not have been worse, as bankers have only recently begun to mend the self-inflicted reputational damage suffered over the last few years.
In defense of bankers
But there is another side to this story -- namely, the bankers' side. The general argument is this: Because the study involved a small sample of bankers at a single bank, it should not be interpreted to reflect the integrity of the industry as a whole.
Here's how Frank Eliason, the global director for client experience at Citigroup, framed it in a post on LinkedIn:
The banking industry in the U.S., according to the latest FDIC quarterly report, employs 2,060,002. Worldwide, this number is much higher. ... No matter how you slice or dice the numbers, the reality is this is not statistical relevant sampling of an entire industry.
And here's how Emily McCormick, director of research at Bank Director magazine put it:
I take the conclusions of this study with a heaping dose of salt: Much of the results center on the employees of ONE BANK, and I have strong reservations about a study that is so influenced by the culture of one company. ...
I've met bankers from all across the U.S., and I have a hard time buying that they're inherently more dishonest than those in any other industry.
I hope it goes without saying that Eliason and McCormick make a valid point. The results of the University of Zurich study don't gauge the integrity of the vast majority of bank employees who make loans and accept deposits in branches across the country every day.
Indeed, like McCormick, I have a hard time accepting that the typical banker is any less honest than the typical person in any other profession.
Yet I don't believe this invalidates the study. Quite to the contrary, I believe the study's results not only capture a genuine trait among a certain subset of bankers, but also reveal a fundamental truth about the current state of the industry -- namely, that a small but identifiable minority of bankers cause an inordinate amount of damage.
The poisonous influence of trading
I'm talking specifically about bankers who are either directly or indirectly involved in the world of trading financial instruments such as stocks, bonds, commodities, currencies, and derivatives. The problem with trading, as I've discussed elsewhere, is that it threatens to erode the relationship between a bank and its customers. At a traditional bank, a customer is entitled to a fiduciary-like duty. But among traders, a customer is an adversary, a counterparty.
"We didn't have the word 'client' or 'customer' at the old J. Aron," Goldman Sachs' CEO Lloyd Blankfein has said about the investment bank's metals trading division, where he worked for years with current Goldman President Gary Cohn. "We had counterparties -- and that's because we didn't know how to spell the word 'adversary.'"
Richard Marin, the former head of Bear Stearns' asset management division, made a similar point: "When you become arrogant, in a trading sense, you begin to think that everybody's a counterparty, not a customer, not a client ... [and] as a counterparty, you're allowed to rip their face off."
And, for good measure, here's Charlie Munger, Warren Buffett's partner and the vice chairman of Berkshire Hathaway, discussing the "poisonous" nature of derivatives trading operations:
We do not need [banks] doing this vast array of activities with this miasma of super profits and a lot of gross immorality in terms of the way that they deal with the customers.
The derivative traders have tended to rook their own customers. That's not a pretty sight. It's a dirty business.
The contamination of retail banking
To be clear, the underlying issue is not that trading is inherently bad -- though, to Munger's point, it isn't the most ethical profession, either. Rather, the issue is that its adversarial ethos seems to have crept into the retail banking space through the 1999 repeal of the Glass-Steagall Act, which had banned federally insured depositary institutions from proprietary trading since the Great Depression.
For most banks, this is a nonissue, as only a minority of lenders are actively engaged in both proprietary trading and retail banking. Moreover, even the vast majority of employees at banks who do engage in both activities are, I believe, free of blame, as most of these people, to use Eliason's description, "are extremely honest and are working hard to improve the experience for customers every day."
But this leaves us with an insular minority of institutions and individuals who, in fact, have served as transmission agents of the trading ethos into retail banking. I'm referring specifically to current and former executives and other higher-ups at the nation's largest banks: JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, and Citigroup. At least by my interpretation of the facts, the leaders of these organizations appear to have either explicitly or implicitly sanctioned the adoption of a trading mindset by their retail banking divisions.
What else explains the fact that, for many years, these banks surreptitiously reordered their customers' debit card transactions, presumably in order to maximize overdraft fees? Yes, I'm aware that the original theory was to ensure that customers' biggest and most important transactions, such as car and mortgage payments, cleared first. But this noble intent was at odds with the practice, which netted banks billions of dollars in additional income at the expense of their customers.
Then there are the misdeeds that were knowingly committed by the nation's biggest banks in the mortgage market prior to the financial crisis. Emails at all of the banks involved confirm that the malfeasance was intentional. For instance, here's how a Bank of America trader characterized subprime mortgages that were being packaged into investment-grade securities in 2007: "Like a fat kid in dodgeball, these need to stay on the sidelines."
And who could forget about the robo-signing scandal, in which these banks systematically submitted forged legal documents to courts in order to accelerate the foreclosure process and thereby potentially deprive their customers of shelter? Call me sentimental, but I've always believed defrauding a court of law is perhaps the most egregious type of corporate malfeasance imaginable.
Last but not least, few of the scandals to engulf the nation's biggest banks over the last decade betray their adversarial view toward customers quite like the allegations that they fixed ostensibly neutral credit card arbitration forums in order to effectively guarantee that their customers lost, irrespective of the facts. It is dispiriting, to say the least, to think that some of the biggest and most powerful financial institutions in the world colluded against their most vulnerable and downtrodden customers.
The industry's standard-bearers are the problem
The point here is that there is more than a scintilla of evidence to suggest the University of Zurich study is onto something. To McCormick and Eliason's point, it most certainly doesn't reflect the character of the overwhelming majority of bankers around the country. But, unfortunately, the institutions and individuals that it does seem to reflect accurately appear in many cases to be the same institutions and individuals that, as a result of their sheer size and market share, are generally considered to be the standard-bearers of the industry.

With the recent listing and sale of the Dalhousie home that was the site of the grisly murder/suicide, some questions regarding disclosure and "stigmatized" properties may arise. Remember, stigmas are not to be confused with material latent defects which must always be disclosed. For the record, the Dalhousie home was publicly marketed as needing to disclose important information to any potential buyer. (The listing contained: "Please call listing agent (or have your agent contact the listing agent) for property disclosure details.")
The following article from RECA will help shed more light on stigmatized properties and the role you as a buyer need to play. (I would link directly to the article, but I can't find it since their recent site redesign. RECBC has an almost exact article on their site for BC residents):
"Stigmatized" Properties
Sometimes when dealing in real estate, the onus will be on you, the client, to ask questions regarding issues of specific importance to you and your family, rather than relying on a real estate professional to try to anticipate all of your needs.
Concerns Not Physical, Structural, or Obvious
When selecting a property to buy, most often the physical appearance of a property and the neighbourhood will be obvious. If you are concerned about the less obvious structural and mechanical aspects of the house, you can have a property inspection done. However, consumers may have other areas of concern that would cause them to avoid a property. Certain events may cause a property to be described as a "stigmatized property." This term is sometimes applied to a property that has had some circumstance occur in or near it, but which does not specifically affect the appearance or function of the property itself.
Examples of these might include:
- a pedophile is reported to live in the neighbourhood
- a former resident was suspected of being an organized crime gang member
- a death occurred in the property
- the property was robbed or vandalised
- there are reports that the property is haunted
Significance Varies Individually
The significance of these or any other occurrence will be affected by a person's values and perceptions, ethnic background, religion, gender, age and other individual concerns. Therefore, to determine with any certainty all the possible occurrences that might cause a property to be considered "stigmatized" is daunting if not impossible. Further, in the event of a lawsuit resulting from an undisclosed stigma, the buyer would have to prove what harmful effect the stigma had because these issues are often personal ones that do not affect the appearance, function or use of the real estate.
Information Upon Request
In Alberta, it is important for consumers to know that real estate seller and the seller's representatives are not required by provincial legislation to disclose this type of information about a property unless asked. Therefore, Alberta consumers, who are concerned about certain types of events in regard to a property, are responsible to make inquiries of their real estate industry member and the property owner. When asked, your industry member must make the appropriate inquiries and sellers and their representatives must respond truthfully.
Stigmas Are Difficult to Define
The following may help to answer these questions and show the difficulty in defining a stigma. Think about your response to this question:
Would it matter to you if a death had occurred in a property you were interested in buying?
Some would say "Yes, absolutely!" However, consider the following situations:
- Would you find a death caused by a violent act or suicide unacceptable?
- What if the family brought an elderly grandmother home to die in the comfort of her family and familiar surroundings?
- Suppose it were a crib death of a newborn?
- What if you learned the owner's pet had recently died in the home? Would you feel differently if the death was natural or if poison was suspected?
- Would you be concerned if a person had been killed by a car on the street in front of the house?
- Would you be as concerned by a death that occurred 50 years ago as you would with a recent one?
These examples illustrate how difficult it is to clearly define what a "stigmatized" property might be. What one person might find unacceptable may be of little or no importance to another.
Treading Carefully
It is impossible to anticipate all the areas of sensitivity individuals may have. While the feelings and concerns of individual buyers are understandable, it's also easy to see that sellers might be unfairly hurt by a requirement to disclose such things. For instance, if the law required that all deaths in properties must be disclosed, regardless of how and when they occurred, the act of bringing a grandmother home to die may cause the owners to lose property value.
It may seem unfair to place the onus on the buyer to make such inquiries about a property they are interested in. On the other hand, would it be fair to require a home-owner to label his property as stigmatized without a clear understanding of what the term means, or when it means different things to different people? Is it fair to hold a seller's real estate industry member responsible if an event was not disclosed to the buyer, even when the industry member was not advised by the buyer that such events are important to them?
Protect Yourself
You can take steps to avoid buying a property you might consider to be stigmatized by discussing your individual concerns with your industry member and instructing the industry member to ask specific questions about the property.
For example, suppose a family has had a tragic experience wherein their daughter was sexually assaulted while she was alone at their home. She is no longer comfortable in that home and this is their reason for moving. If she was to learn their new house had a similar event occur in it, she would be understandably upset.
To avoid this, the buyers should instruct their industry member to make inquiries on their behalf. This can be done professionally and while maintaining a level of privacy. For instance, the buyer's representative could ask the seller and the seller's representative, "Have been any violent crimes committed in the property?"
Duty to Disclose
When asked, the seller and their industry member must disclose the information that is known to them. However, keep in mind the current owners may have no knowledge of events that occurred before their ownership or the property may have been rented out and the seller may not know of events that occurred during the rental period. For serious concerns, consumers are advised to make inquiries of the local police service.
Home sellers and seller's representatives who are concerned that some event may cause the seller's property to be considered stigmatized will face a dilemma – do we disclose and risk harming our property value, or do we not disclose and risk the buyer learning the information later and pursuing us for damages? Prudent industry members will discuss all the variables with the seller and should suggest obtaining a lawyer's advice as to the seller's rights and obligations.
Home sellers are cautioned to keep in mind this issue differs from the responsibility to disclose material latent defects. A latent defect is a material defect not generally visible, such as a serious crack in the foundation that has been covered over with paneling or improper wiring covered by drywall. Sellers and their representatives must disclose all material latent defects about a property to potential buyers, or otherwise risk being liable to the buyer for the costs of repairing the defect.
Alberta legislation does not define stigmatized properties. It also does not require real estate industry members to disclose events which some may consider as stigmas, unless asked about them.
Buying consumers are advised to carefully consider the areas of concern they have, discuss them with their industry members and ensure the necessary inquiries are made to avoid purchasing a property they will not feel comfortable living in. Sellers should consider the consequences of disclosure compared with no disclosure and seek legal counsel.

Long flights cause chaos for your skin. Here is my in-flight beauty routine for those hours in the air!
Clean : Cleansing is so important on a flight, as you don't want to keep old makeup on during those hours of downtime. My favorite inflight cleansers are the Koh Gen Do cleansing spa water cloths , as you can cleanse anytime, anywhere. They are great for sensitive skin, and keep your skin feeling super clean!
Moisture: Moisturizing is absolute key to in flight beauty, as airplane cabins have low humidity, which means moisture free- and will draw moisture from wherever it can, including your skin! Must have moisturizers for my travel are the SK-ii Moisture Mask, La Mer Moisture Cream, and the La Praire Anti-Aging Lip & Eye Perfector ! These three are heavy duty, and absolutely work!
Drink : W A T E R! Enough said - start guzzling!
Sleep: If you can, get some ZZ's. I just flew almost 20 hours two days ago, and sleep is so important. I always try and find the local time to where I'm traveling, and if a long flight (I just flew LAX to Hong Kong which was 15 hours), calculate my time zones, to avoid jet lag !

Hello all.
Have you changed anything in your machine or rescheduled tasks from the CPU to the GPU ?
A 177 error occurs when the unit is taking much longer to crunch (10x ?) than what BOINC thinks it should. This usually occurs after a CPU to GPU reschedule. If you look the ETA of the shifted tasks will be less than a minute.
If you have Fred's Rescheduler. Go to the "Expert" tab, check the "Limit rsc_fpops_bound to avoid -177 errors" box and run the program from Seti tab.
Sorry but I can't find the link to Fred's program. I know it's www.efmer.?????

Hello all.
When reporting errors and you have more than one host, it helps to link the host in question [ 6312756 ] so we won't have to go through a list of hosts trying to find the right one.
According to that page your BOINC version is 7.0.25.
That version is horribly buggy, so I'd advise to upgrade all the way to the current Alpha 7.0.52 available from the extended BOINC download page.
You could use 7.0.28 but there have been a LOT of bugfixes since and the current Alpha is pretty good and should only retain very minor issues.
As T.A. has pointed out, -177 errors occur when the task takes more than 10x longer than the original estimate. So either the original estimate is way off, or the DCF is way off [7.0.25 still uses dcf].
From the application details page it appears you only just put that ATI card into the host.
I'm not too familiar with ATI card details (I leave that to Mike and Claggy) but an APR of over 700 strikes me as way too high.
From the valid tasks page it looks like the first bunch of tasks received were VHAR (shorties) - those are computed faster than estimated, which may explain the insane APR.
Strangely though new VHAR are also eroring so I guess your DCF is somewhere insane, too.
Ok, so how to get it running again.
T.A. has already pointed you to Fred's rescheduler, available from here. Don't bother with the rescheduling itself, you want the expert tab and the option against -177s. That will extend the time for all tasks on board allowing them to finish properly and send a good time to the server. That should get the APR to where it belongs - you should have few enough tasks validated to get the change through quickly. After the settling period APR changes only with glacial speed...
Else, if you are feeling adventurous and not particularly attached to the hostid, you could run down your cache and force a new hostID, to get a clean APR sheet. Detach/reattach does not usually result in a new hostID. If you want to force the issue, stop boinc and edit client_state.xml. Make sure you are using notepad (or similar). Look for the seti entry and change <rpc_seqno> to a number smaller than the number shown for contacts on the host webpage.
Mind you tampering with client_state.xml is for very advanced users only. Mistakes can cost you dearly - boinc recovers but you lose all your cache - not only seti but other projects too, if you are running them.
