Most of the time we do good things, like working to earn money, or cooking dinner to eat, or playing a sport to have fun, or sleeping to refresh ourselves. Now and then, however, we will do something bad to prevent something worse. We let doctors cut us with knives to get rid of cancer. We tell a lie to protect a friend from danger. We strike at a robber to prevent a mugging.
The police use violence (a bad thing) to protect us from crime (a worse thing). The state goes to war (a bad thing) to protect us from invasion (a worse thing).
Then we get the notion that all this force can be used to create results we regard as good, like taxing everyone to pay for universal education or healthcare or public transit or payments to the unemployed. Force becomes a virtue. But soon we're taking people's hard-earned money and using it to jail others who perform the wrong kind of sex or smoke the wrong kind of drug, or to bail out big corporations, or to launch wars against other countries to force them to behave the way we want.
What we forget, when we get carried away with the sheer power of government, is that its force is a bad thing. As such, it should be used only to prevent something worse. Otherwise, it makes things worse all by itself.
This is why, the more we attack other countries, the less safe we feel. This is why, the more money we throw at the drug war, the more incarcerated becomes our citizenry and the worse grow crime in the streets and violence on our borders. This is why, when we bail out corporations, other companies start taking worse risks. This is why, when we throw extra dollars at education, our students turn out more ignorant. This is why, the bigger the government gets, the more unhappy and polarized we become.
All these results stem from the use of force, either to extract taxes or compel behavior. It goes wrong for a simple reason: force is a bad thing. It's for emergencies only, not day-to-day use.
Imagine if your boss or friend or spouse threatened to beat you up any time you failed to obey them. (Frankly, a few of us actually do experience this.) Consider how long you'd put up with such behavior. Now consider why it's valid or even wise to use government force to threaten your neighbors with arrest and/or violence so that they conform to whatever edicts you favor. Would you do that yourself to your friends and neighbors? If not, why do it through government force?
The reason we don't threaten people personally is that using force as a daily tool alienates others, generates resistance, and slowly ruins everything in our lives. Force doesn't work: it's for emergencies only; when we use it cavalierly, it comes back to bite us. Yet we ask the government to threaten others to achieve our ends, behavior that's bad for us when we do it ourselves. And governments are no more immune than are we to the unhappy effects of using force to achieve goals. Look around at the chaos in the world, and note that most of it is caused by governments threatening or suppressing or attacking people.
What's saddest is that, when our public use of force makes problems worse, we redouble our efforts: we call for even more force. And we spiral downwards.
Let's stop breaking out the fire ax and loading up the weapons for every little thing. Instead, let's consider doing good actions — like cooperation and negotiation and trade — to produce good results.
Sometimes we must do bad things to prevent worse things. But when we do bad things to force good things, our efforts blow up in our faces.

Every phone manufacturer seems to have been missing the point ever since the iPhone came along and royally screwed up the market and its demographic.
It seems to me that each new design tries to fix things that aren't broke, and make themselves something they're not.
I've decided that I need to vent a little bit on this subject. Its a little bit different than the style of posts I've been writing here, so I'm going to keep it separate over at http://angryphonecritic.blogspot.com/
I'll still post my opinions on mobile tech here, but for now I'm going to reserve my phone criticism for that site.

This is a past event. This event is no longer available.
Panti Bliss is Ireland's most famous drag queen—and arguably one of the world's greatest. Growing up in the small town of Ballinrobe as Rory O'Neill, Bliss struggled to find his way in the world. It wasn't until he traveled to Japan and created his drag persona that he found his calling: upon returning to Ireland, he emerged as an "accidental activist."
Bliss is the author of the blog "No More Mr. Nice Gay" and the founder of several notorious fetish clubs as well as a (now-defunct) pageant, Alternative Miss Ireland. But he really shook things up when he accused Irish journalists of homophobia on national television. Thus "Pantigate" began, setting the tone of the campaign for Ireland's history-making referendum on gay marriage.
Panti makes for a fabulously entertaining subject in Conor Horgan's feature documentary debut: one part primer on LGBTQ rights, one part personal portrait, it's outrageous, delightful and heartbreaking by turns.
In 2009, three gay African-American teens started a gang to defend themselves from bullying. Today the gang called Check It is over 200 strong. This passionate documentary reveals the fabulous and fierce members of the group as they learn to channel their aggression in a more positive direction.
Meet the Mathises, a Colorado family whose four-year-old child self-identifies as a girl. When Coy is forced to use the boys' bathroom at school, they're spurred to take legal action. This documentary follows their struggle all the way to the Supreme Court.

Around 120 new and historical films, performances and discussions are part of the programme at Dortmund | Cologne International Women's Film Festival 2019. Numerous guests from the German and international film business are expected to attend the various events.
The Festival's focus entitled Image Traps: Illusion, Camouflage, Masquerade showcases a series of film programmes that require viewers to watch particularly closely. The films play a game of hide-and-seek with their audiences, which is about optical illusions, mimicry and camouflage, in short, ambivalence and ambiguity. The programme encompasses a wide variety of films and includes historical treasures, rediscovered classics and the latest releases from various genres, first and foremost animated and fantasy films, but also comedy, short and experimental films as well as mockumentaries.
An image trap snaps shut whenever viewers take what they have been shown at face value. The slippery path along which the films lead them triggers questions about content and filmic elements: Is this character only what he or she purports to be? Is this plot really the only storyline? Is this a purely traditional film? What's behind it? More important than the first glance is the second, when camouflages are recognised and double characters exposed. This means Festival visitors have to be alert and active if they want to avoid being tricked by the images. The film still has an ace up its sleeve.
The Festival uses this subject to question the authenticity of 'originals' and 'copies', or what we refer to as 'genuine' and 'fake'. "Imagine there wasn't such a thing as authenticity," suggests Maxa Zoller, the Festival's new Artistic Director. "And that instead there were all kinds of moulds whose casts we would carry around with us for a while. Let's call them 'traditions'. But these would also change their form repeatedly." Its time to loosen up conflicting structural orders, especially in Germany, says Zoller. In the debate about the social and cultural significance of gender concepts and more generally diversity, Germany occupies only the middle ground in Europe. As an international festival, Dortmund | Cologne IWFF aims to offer an insight into the diversity of this subject in order to open up rigid structures and create space for new developments.

Please help make a difference in my life
I have great news to share! On September 11, 2012, I received a lifesaving kidney transplant. It was a complete success! My childhood friend, Sandi was the donor and I will be forever grateful to her for her selflessness. Because of her I have a new life. I feel so deeply honored to have the loving support from family and friends who also helped make this happen.
Updates (4)
May 26, 2017
I am happy to say I just had my 57th birthday April 13th and I am so blessed to not have to hook up to a machine before I go to bed every night like I did for two years before Sandi Hamilton-Spall gave me "Creedy".
Sandi has had some complications but our doctor informs me it was not because she donated her kidney to me.
I went through some emotional days after I found out because I felt guilty,
that was why she kept her health from me.
She says she would not have changed a thing about donating because she knew how sick I was, that is the kind of person my friend is and I love her for that!
I have out lived my Mom and brother and a sister, my Mom and brother both had kidney failure.
I have one sister left and we are very close.
I love life and wake up every day thankful for another chance.
January 8, 2017
A lot has changed since my last update.
I just hit my fourth year with my kidney and relocated to my hometown in Kentucky to be close to family.
My kidney is functioning well.
However the imunnosurpresent medication I will be on the rest of my life is causing some issues with my eyes and bones.
I was just diagnosed with Ostioarthritis in my hands and elbows.
The imunnosurpresent medication for my kidney and the pain medication for the arthritis is very expensive and l will need asisstance with the cost.
One thing I do not miss is hooking up to a machine every night to pull the poison out of my body.
I am living my life to the fullest
and I am so very great full for my childhood friend Sandi, for her wonderful gift.
No words can express how It feels to feel good most days and not have to be on a machine to keep me a live.
Thanks to all my family and friends for their support and help.
October 8, 2013
Hey Girl, You are in my thoughts daily. You are strong. You will get past this. You have a lot of folks in your corner. Take care of yourself and keep your head up.

Richard Smith, Houston

Frances, I know we have only met once but I will be praying for you on Sept. 11th that your transplant goes smoothly and that your donor does not have any complications. God bless!
Sam M.

I pray that both of you do well and recover quickly!!

Joseph, a Levite from Cyprus, whom the apostles called Barnabas (which means "son of encouragement"), sold a field he owned and brought the money and put it at the apostles' feet. —Acts 4:36-37
Throughout the Book of Acts, we read about a disciple of Christ named Barnabas, which means "son of encouragement." His name indicates the kind of impact he had on those in the early church and those he witnessed to on his many missionary trips with the apostle Paul.
Here are some examples of what Barnabas said and did in his travels:
News of this reached the church in Jerusalem, and they sent Barnabas to Antioch. —Acts 11:22
Then Barnabas went to Tarsus to look for Saul and when he found him, he brought him to Antioch. So for a whole year Barnabas and Saul met with the church and taught great numbers of people. The disciples were called Christians first at Antioch. —Acts 11:25-26
This they did, sending their gift to the elders by Barnabas and Saul. —Acts 11:30
When the congregation was dismissed, many of the Jews and devout converts to Judaism followed Paul and Barnabas, who talked with them and urged them to continue in the grace of God. —Acts 13:43
These verses give us a glimpse into why Barnabas was called "son of encouragement." He was the one who was good at talking to people. He was good at seeing the gifts present in Paul and saw the value of inviting Paul along with him in his work. He was happy to receive the gifts from people to spread the Gospel further. He took the time to talk more in-depth with people after his formal speech.
How can you be a Barnabas, a son or daughter of encouragement, in your life today. One way is to be on the lookout, as Barnabas was, for the gifts in others. Then encourage people to use those gifts to God's glory. And don't be afraid to join them in using those gifts, standing beside them to support them along the way.
Another act of encouragement is be open and available when people want to talk more, as Barnabas was. Be there to listen. Be there to care. Be there to take an interest in the lives of people. Keep urging them on in their work for the Lord and in their living in God's grace.
Who can you be a Barnabas to today?

ScholarBank@NUS Repository. https://doi.org/10.2119/molmed.2011.00080
|Deficits in social behavior in mice lacking the CD38 gene have been attributed to impaired secretion of oxytocin. In humans, similar deficits in social behavior are associated with autistic spectrum disorder (ASD), for which genetic variants of CD38 have been pinpointed as provisional risk factors. We sought to explore, in an in vitro model, the feasibility of the theory that restoring the level of CD38 in ASD patients could be of potential clinical benefit. CD38 transcription is highly sensitive to several cytokines and vitamins. One of these, all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA), a known inducer of CD38, was added during cell culture and tested on a large sample of N = 120 lymphoblastoid cell (LBC) lines from ASD patients and their parents. Analysis of CD38 mRNA levels shows that ATRA has an upmodulatory potential on LBC derived from ASD patients as well as from their parents. The next crucial issue addressed in our study was the relationship between levels of CD38 expression and psychological parameters. The results obtained indicate a positive correlation between CD38 expression levels and patient scores on the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scale. In addition, analysis of the role of genetic polymorphisms in the dynamics of the molecule revealed that the genotype of a single-nucleotide polymorphism (rs6449182; C>G variation) in the CpG island of intron 1, harboring the retinoic-acid response element, exerts differential roles in CD38 expression in ASD and in parental LBC. In conclusion, our results provide an empirical basis for the development of a pharmacological ASD treatment strategy based on retinoids. © 2011 The Feinstein Institute for Medical Research.

To show how cool a character is all they has to do is wear their coat like a cape, as in not bothering to put their arms through the sleeves. This is often a trait of Japanese Delinquents or military leaders.
Don't expect them to slip or fall off, even up against powerful winds, explosions and any amount of running, jumping and acrobatics, unless it's for dramatic reasons.
Compare Coat Over the Shoulder. Not to be confused with Badass Longcoat, which often resembles a cape but is worn normally.
open/close all folders
Anime & Manga
- One Piece:
- Most of the high-ranking Marines in wear their coats like a cape. Word of God says that they're kept in place by justice. One of the only Marines to do wear it is John Giant. Exceptions are really rare.
- Crocodile, one of the Shichibukai sanctioned by the government, also wears his fur coat this way.
- Coats are also seen hanging off the shoulders of infamous Pirate Captains like Whitebeard and Blackbeard, who actively oppose the Marines' idea of justice. The only pirate captain who actually wore his captains' coat was Roger.
- Donquixote Doflamingo wears his feathery pink coat in this fashion as well.
- Laxus Dreyar in Fairy Tail wears this look as part of his second outfit shown and later again during the Grand Magic Games Arc. In the anime, he is shown wearing his coat in that style from the start and losing it after the Festival Arc.
- Yu-Gi-Oh!:
- Yami has done this from time to time in Yu-Gi-Oh!.
- In Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V, Yuya also typically wears his jacket in this style.
- Common in Hellsing. Integra, in particular, is rarely seen otherwise.
- Taki from Maiden Rose does this on at least one occasion with his Badass Longcoat, with Dramatic Wind for added effect.
- Fullmetal Alchemist:
- Colonel Roy Mustang often does this before going into full-bore flesh-roasting badass mode.
- Mustang's bodyguard/aide 1st Lt. Hawkeye also does this on occasion. In particular, in chapter 58, she is shown in casual clothes, wearing an overshirt in this manner.
- Scar does this too on occasion.
- Kazuo Kiriyama does this in the Battle Royale manga; His gakuran's top is inexplicably long compared to his slacks, and stays on his shoulders even when he's subjected to explosions or jumps off a cliff. And although it starts out as a regular school jacket,◊ by mid-manga it starts doing things like this,◊ and then near the end it's basically a separate living entity that perches on his shoulders.◊
- Mifune the bodyguard from Soul Eater wore a coat like this both in his first and last battle against Black*Star.
- Hibari Kyoya from Katekyō Hitman Reborn! pulls this off all while whacking enemies with tonfas sometimes attached with whips. He still manages to keep his coat on at the end of the battle. Perhaps he actually pinned his coat onto his shirt? Either way, it gives more leeway to make his entrances more awesome with his sleeves flying about flashing his disciplinary committee badge, which he is the president of.
- Also Xanxus from the same series. He manages to fly in the air with the help of his two guns while keeping his coat still on.
- Germany and Greece of Axis Powers Hetalia occasionally sport this look. As does Molossia.
- Seiichi Yukimura from The Prince of Tennis.
- Black Jack is one of the older manga examples, his flapping coat being a big part of his signature look.
- Howl in Howl's Moving Castle starts out wearing his jacket this way. He stops wearing the cape when Character Development hits.
- Balalaika from Black Lagoon wears her Soviet military coat like this.
- Part of the Impulse Form of Fate's Barrier Jacket in Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha Strikers.
- Sengoku Nadeko of Bakemonogatari wears her jacket in this manner. It's meant to represent shed snakeskin.
- Bleach:
- Yamamoto wears his captain's haori over his shoulders like a cape. It only comes off when his fighting gets serious.
- Kyouraku wears a woman's kimono like a cape over his captain's haori. He only removes the woman's kimono when fighting gets serious.
- Mikuni Souichirou of [C] - Control provides a good example, using a longcoat. He removes his coat for fights.note
- Kusabi Mido of Rosario + Vampire wears a coat as such when confronting main character Tsukune. When he decides to get serious and Monstrel Out, however, his coat vanishes without explanation (though it may have just fallen off when his arm turned into an Ore Club).
- Ookuninushi from Kamisama Kiss always seems to sport this look. Tomoe does it too on certain occasions.
- Digimon Savers gives Banchou Leomon this look, and it doubles both as a shield!
- Lucifer in Angel Cop wears a white fox jacket over her shoulders.
- Kill la Kill: Mako wears her Fight Club President uniform this way.
- Sharaku Hosuke in The Three-Eyed One gets one of these when he accesses his Superpowered Evil Side.
- In Brave10, Jinpachi wears his coat like this often. It gives him a certain pirate-y flair.
- Nakahara Chuya of Bungou Stray Dogs does this, possibly in attempt to make his shoulders look wider.
- Rantaro from Beyblade Burst wears his gakuran as a cape. Valt even calls him out on it. No one else even wears school uniforms.
- Orga in Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans' second season will wear his old Tekkadan jacket on top of his nice suit.
- Rustal Elion, the Big Bad of season 2, does this as well.
- In Saki Shinohayu -dawn of age-, Chisa Sakane, club advisor for Shino and the others' middle school club, typically wears her suit jacket this way.
- Izana from Akagami no Shirayukihime tends to wear his jacket this way when he's not wearing an actual cape or in a place where it is cold enough to warrant wearing the thing properly. He seems to stop after being crowned king.
- Smile from Battle Spirits Shonen Toppa Bashin wears his jacket like this, probably as a sign of delinquency.
Comic Books
- In Spirou and Fantasio, Zorglub likes to wear what looks like a short, fur-lined leather coat this way.
Fan Works
- In Pacific: World War II U.S. Navy Shipgirls, this is how Arizona and Dolphin put on their uniforms.
Films — Live-Action
- Kazuma Kiryu in the Yakuza-live action adaptation wears his jacket like this near the end. The reason is pretty much so that it can be blown off by a helicopter so he will be shirtless for the dramatic final fight scene.
- Toht of Raiders of the Lost Ark wears his longcoat like this while digging for the Ark in Egypt.
- Davy Jones in Pirates of the Caribbean wears his coat with the right sleeve on and the left side as a cape. This is because his left arm has mutated into a crab's claw and it wouldn't fit through the sleeve.
- General Hux in Star Wars: The Force Awakens has been shown doing this in preview images.
- Claw does this in the sequel to Inspector Gadget.
- Dark Lord Pink wears his black leather coat in this way as he marches toward the concert with his praetorian guard in The Wall.
- In Hornet's Sting by Derek Robinson, one of the pilots wears his coat like this while pretending to be a Portuguese lord whose checkbook he found. Played for comedy, rather than badassery.
- In ''Miss Piggy's Guide to Life'' Piggy suggests wearing a coat in this manner in order to look important. She also recommends accessorizing with large sunglasses and a purse with a telephone inside. (The book was written in 1981, when only big shots had wireless phones.)
- In Shakugan no Shana, Shana can summon a magic Badass Longcoat that functions as both a shield and as storage for her other equipment. While she is introduced wearing it normally, she soon switches to draping it over her shoulders instead, possibly because the poofy sleeves of her new civilian outfit get in the way (and the coat's magic properties prevent it from falling off).
Live-Action TV
- On The Monkees, Micky did it when he was pretending to be a big-time movie producer, along with using a cigarette holder.
Pro Wrestling
- This is how Wade Barrett arrives before a match. He sheds it while standing on the stage.
Tabletop Games
- Commissars in Warhammer 40,000 are often depicted wearing their jackets like this.
Video Games
- Persona 4: Kanji, as pictured. In Persona 4: Arena, Elizabeth ponders how it stays on, while Akihiko notes how impractical it is in fighting and tells him to take it off.
- Mao from Disgaea 3: Absence of Justice. He has a chain around the collar to prevent it from falling off.
- Ujiyasu Hojo from Samurai Warriors 3. Masamune gains one in the fourth game.
- Final Fantasy VI: My life is a chip in your pile. Time to ante up. You have just learned everything you need to know, personality-wise, about Setzer Gabianni.
- He also says this line in his cameo in Kingdom Hearts II.
- Azrael of Blaz Blue Chrono Phantasma wears one. His actually does have a strap across the collar to keep it from falling off.
- Fumi from Devil Survivor 2 wears her longcoat like this.
- Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots: As part of his Big Damn Heroes moment near the end of Act 5, Raiden shows up wearing his black leather duster as such, which is held in place by one of Snake's flak jackets. Justified, since by that point, he's lost both arms.
- Chosokabe Motochika from Sengoku Basara is a pirate, so there was never really a second option when it came to how he'd wear his jacket. And as a bonus, he's not got anything underneath it either.
- Wulfric of Pokémon X and Y wears his blue coat like this. This is despite the fact that as an Ice-type trainer, that coat would really help out.
- Haruka from Senran Kagura uses a really large labcoat for this trope. In later games, she gave the labcoat to a Robot Buddy to wear, who floats right behind Haruka to give this illusion.
- Osoro Shidesu, the delinquent leader, does this in Yandere Simulator. She took it from a member of a group of thugs who tried to attack her one day.
- Post-rework Swain from League of Legends wears a large, very heavy-looking coat without putting his arms through. This may make it easier (or perhaps even harder) for him to use his Red Right Hand.
- Concept art for Soma Cruz in Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow occasionally shows him wearing his fancy fur coat over his shoulders, though it just as often portrays him wearing it the normal way.
Visual Novels
- Ace Attorney:
- Tyrell Badd in Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth. Extra badass points for it being full of bullet holes.
- And Ichiyanagi Yumihiko from Investigations 2.
- And Apollo Justice after the courtroom bombing in Dual Destinies. It's a Tragic Keepsake from his murdered childhood friend, Clay Terran. They even use it to distinguish between Apollo's two mindsets over the course of the story! When he's without it, he's the usual Apollo everyone's familiar with. When he's wearing it, his disposition gets temporarily shifted to seeking to expose and bring down his friend's killer as revenge, leading to him acting very much like a jerk at times. He does get better by the climax of the game, which is also when he stops wearing the coat.
- Danganronpa:
- Yasahiro Hagakure wears a jacket over his shirt. It's less to show off that he's cool, and more that he's not all there.
- Kaito Momota in New Danganronpa V3 only wears his left jacket sleeve, leading the right side hang freely. This becomes a plot point in Chapter 6, when Shuichi must disprove Maki's assertion that it's not odd for the sleeve hanging out of the hydraulic press to not have an arm in it since it's his left sleeve.
Web Comics
- Bethany from Afterlife Blues always wears her Badass Longcoat this way; she often holds it in place when she isn't using her hands for something else.
- John Carson Junior from Blood And Smoke sports this.
Real Life
- In World War II, Reichsmarschall Hermann Goering was often photographed wearing his coat this way.◊
- In early 20th century it was customary for gentlemen to wear an overcoat outside regardless of the temperatures. Especially in Southern Europe it became customary to wear them in this manner to avoid exessive discomfort during the summer months.
- The pelisse is a light jacket worn over the left arm as part of the Hussar uniform. They were infamously impractical and a total liability against other cavalry. Naturally, every European army wore them, presumably because it looked very dashing.
- The ancient Medes and Persians wore their long kandys coats this way. Xenophon claims they were required to use the sleeves when the King was present, which may have been because the sleeves were so ungainly as to hinder assassination attempts. The Scythians made their own version with sleeves positioned in such a way that it wouldn't be possible to use them at all.

I have been doing SEO and small business webdesign as a freelancer for the last 5 years, and have picked up clients via word of mouth, running Adwords, buying leads, contacts of contacts and via Google Maps. Having decided to create a new local SEO website for my city to expand my business I decided to use this class as a template to run through to make sure that I wasn't missing anything important.
I initially thought I know all there is to know about the topic having been in SEO for that length of time and having studied the how-to of Search Engine Optimisation via many sources, mentors, memberships and courses. I have paid mid four figure fees each year to develop and maintain my knowledge, however I have spent more time developing client sites than keeping up to date with developing my own so this course is a refresh of what I need to do to bring in more business and is surprisingly thorough at the price. Way to go Christine.
Here's a previous iteration of it http://web.archive.org/web/20130125063639/http://thebestlocaldeal.com/
which was the stage where it got quite a few local enquiries. I think it was personal and real and covered pricing but still looked a little amateur. It appealed to the price conscious shopper which showed in the clients that it attracted at the time.
I changed out the theme for a new more optimised one for lead gen, but there was a corruption in the database and I didn't have the tech knowledge at the time to remedy it. Coupled with a penguin hit for dup content (articlebase articles on it on the backend of the site) and not really spending any time on keeping it fresh or optimising it, it has languished in the SERPS. It's most recent incarnation saw it with default wp theme on it which obviously looks rubbish.
I am most happy with the testimonials page so in the redesign I will make more of a feature of them perhaps in scrolling widgets on the homepage. http://www.thebestlocaldeal.com/testimonials/
I bought a new domain for this project which is a partial match domain which should show local intent for city + seo and won't be held back by the price shopping theme of the other domain. Also what I didn't know when I bought it is that the local deal domain used to be owned as a marijuana dealers website so maybe there is a little black mark on it in Google from its past! The main reason for the change though is to jettison the economy shoppers attracted by that domain and to work with monthly retainer clients. If I can rank number 1 in London for £30 a click keywords for clients then I can surely rank in a much smaller city nearer to home, for less competitive keywords, even though search and websites are quite competitive they don't cost that per click.

Create, Capture and Post Your Rental Units from Your iPhone Using Zumper Pro
Real estate rentals are an on-the-go type of job. Much of the marketing and leasing happens in the field, not at the agent's desk. And yet, technology tools have not fully caught on in the field. Most of the best tools to date have been ones that confine you to your desk.
Enter Zumper Pro. Zumper Pro is the first iPhone app to empower brokers, property managers and landlords to create and post their listings on the go, and sync them perfectly with their web accounts.
Once a new listing has come onto the market, a professional can go visit it, pull out their iPhone and get to work. The Zumper Pro app will geo-locate where you are and auto-fill the unit's address; the app then allows you to use the iPhone's camera to take photography of the unit and to even rearrange the order of your photos on the go; it also allows you to create all the copy for the listing.
Once complete, the agent or landlord can post the listing live to Zumper's consumer site immediately. Zumper's CEO, Anthemos Georgiades, said that many of their clients have received inquiries on the units they've posted from their iPhones within minutes, before they've even gotten back to their office.
Once the agents are back at the office, the user can log into their web account, which will have all the details perfectly synced from their phone. They can then also auto-generate a beautiful flyer and post it to Craigslist or other sites to maximize their listing's exposure.
Georgiades said, "We've worked with hundreds of clients to build this beautifully simple posting tool, and there's a lot more to come. We're particularly interested in helping agents and landlords manage their schedules and get their listings leased as quickly as possible, so watch this space."
The Zumper Pro app can be downloaded for free by visiting the iTunes app store.

We know two things for sure about next month's Super Bowl at the Meadowlands in New Jersey. First, neither the Jets nor the Giants will take the field. And second, the incidence of human trafficking and forced prostitution will spike.
We've kept an eye on this issue for a while now – click here for our latest coverage – and it's why we've teamed up with the New Jersey Coalition Against Human Trafficking to provide a lifeline for victims before, during, and after this major sporting event.
But now we need your help. On Saturday, January 25th in Teterboro and Sunday, January 26th in Paramus, volunteers are needed to label, package, and distribute (in teams) bars of soap with the National Human Trafficking Hotline number to nearby hotels and motels identified as high risk for trafficking. We'll also be distributing posters with photos of missing children and 'Red Flag' brochures to help hotel staff identify instances of trafficking or forced prostitution.
To learn more about this important volunteer opportunity, sign-up, or discuss other ways to support our anti-trafficking work, please contact Nancy Hamilton at 973-267-5533 or email@example.com.

AA boss fired over hotel punch-up blames booze and pills for 'sustained attack'
The Automobile Association chairman sacked for assaulting a colleague is blaming a cocktail of alcohol and pills for the 'sustained attack' that was caught on a hotel camera.
Friends of Bob Mackenzie, 64, have insisted he snapped in a moment of folly as a result of mixing the prescription drug diazepam with two pints of beer and two glasses of white wine.
The attack on Mike Lloyd, who heads up the AA's insurance division, was caught on a security camera in the bar of a country hotel where senior executives had been holding a strategy meeting.
The footage was handed over to the AA which used it as evidence to dismiss Mr Mackenzie for gross misconduct. The attack, said to have lasted as long as two minutes, meant Mr Mackenzie missed out on a massive payout through share options reckoned to be worth in the region of £68 million.
Mr Mackenzie, who has homes in London and in Warwickshire, has now hired lawyers to argue he was unfairly dismissed due to the pressure he was under in his role as AA executive chairman.
According to a friend's version of events, Mr Mackenzie had been prescribed diazepam in the days before the strategy meeting at the Pennyhill Park Hotel in Surrey on July 24. He was fired a week later on August 1.
A friend of Mr Mackenzie's said: "He doesn't dispute there was a punch up. There is a CCTV in the hotel. It was captured on video.
"Nobody is saying he didn't instigate it [the attack]. But he was in a bad way.
"He was under a lot of pressure. In the weeks before the attack, it [the stress] had been getting to him. He was unwisely taking medication and drinking at the same time. On the night he drank two pints of beer and two glasses of wine."
Late in the evening, Mr Mackenzie began throwing punches at Mr Lloyd, who at 39 is 25 years his boss's junior. "The chap [Mr Lloyd] is half Bob's age. Bob is a bit doddery," said the friend, adding that Mr Mackenzie had held his colleague in high regard and had clearly no intention of hurting him - nor the ability to do so.
It is understood that Mr Lloyd absorbed the blows and protected his face with hands. "I am sure it is the case that he [Bob] could not have done him any damage," said the friend. The next day Mr Mackenzie offered Mr Lloyd an apology.
Lawyers for Mr Mackenzie have now written to AA board members and directors individually asking for their version of events in the aftermath of the altercation.
Mr Mackenzie's legal team will try to argue that the chairman should not have been fired and classed as a "bad leaver" which prevents him cashing in on 33 million performance related shares he was given when he floated the company on the stock exchange two years ago. The latest annual report shows Mr Mackenzie was paid £1.36 million a year, which included a basic salary of £750,000.
His lawyers will argue that he was under huge stress and that drove him to behave in the way he did.
Mr Mackenzie's eldest son Peter said in a statement: "The purpose of the letter is to get to the bottom of the detail of Bob's dismissal. It appears to us that due process was not observed and that there are vitally important consequences and questions to be answered as a result.
"We make no allegations at this stage but we are determined to get answers to our questions."
Peter Mackenzie had previously denied his father had been sacked but had instead offered his resignation on the advice of a clinical psychologist who had advised him to take time off work.
A source close to the AA said the video footage showed a "sustained attack" on Mr Lloyd, who had defended himself rather than fight back. The source said: "What Bob did was shocking.
"The whole brand of the AA is built on trust. It is a reputable company. You can't have the chairman attacking colleagues. The Board made the difficult decision to do the right thing and to get rid of him."
The AA has declined to comment beyond a statement issued on August 1, which said Mr Mackenzie had been "removed by the Board from his role as Executive Chairman, from his other roles and as a Director and as an employee of the Company for gross misconduct, with immediate effect".

Dave Lordan is a man on a mission. He is determined to professionalise the practice of teaching creative writing in Ireland, as it is in the UK, America and various other countries around the world. He'll be delivering a six-week course at the Irish Writers' Centre to help creative writing tutors improve their ability to deliver creative writing classes in school and community settings.
I attended Lordan's one-day "crash course" on the subject back in March and it's inspired me to change my approach, particularly when it comes to doing creative writing workshops with children. Lordan's watchword is "interactive." His workshops are high energy and aim to bring out the storyteller in everyone, even if they are not natural writers.
Talk out the story first
Writing is daunting for many children – and adults. Engage people's interest and warm up their brains by talking through the story first. For example…

A gold coin was left in a Salvation Army kettle in Daphe, along with a note. No matter the wish written on angel-shaped tags, the Salvation Army handed out thousands of gifts to more than 400 Tehachapi children and their families Wednesday morning as they waited in line at the Monroe High School gym.
As part of that, they helped put together fleece blankets for the Salvation Army and gave Major Jeff Richardson the finished products today.
Salvation Army officials are on track with donations heading into the home stretch of the red kettle campaign.More news: New York Islanders moving back to Long Island

Children who received toys came from families experiencing a range of problems, Brown said, from financial hardship to house fires. Families signed up over a two week time period in late November and early December.
"It's wonderful to get to know the families and get to know their needs and see the community meet those needs", agreed Lieutenant Arwyn Rodriguera with the Salvation Army. My family and I have been so very blessed, and we are so grateful!
The group's Christmas campaign funds its programs throughout the year, including offering food, clothing and other services to those in need. During this press conference, The Salvation Army will provide the public with the results of the Campaign so far. "But it is not too late to give and help your friends and neighbors right here in the Ozarks". Text message donations may also be sending the word "Bells" to short-code 91999. The last day kettles will be out is Saturday. In addition, you can text "SGF" to 41444 from your phone to make an online gift.

Consider sharing it with your friends.
Most of you will have a dozen or more jobs in your lifetime. Some job changes will also mean a different career. Switching jobs is hard enough, career changes can require years of training and acclimating just to be at the same level you were previously.
Formal education and training is an excellent way to prepare for a career, but like all things there are strengths and weaknesses. For example, in this class you've learned the theory of digital marketing but very little of what its like to work as a digital marketer.
This real world knowledge can be acquired in two ways: experience and learning from the experience of others. As we have over ten years of experience in the field, we'd like to share the lessons we've learned.
A portion of our final class will be dedicated to a Q&A where you can ask us anything related to digital marketing or careers. We can discuss "war stories" like the worst project we ever worked on, how we started our businesses or how to go about getting a great job.
For your last participation assignment, submit a question you'd like us to answer in the comments section. We'll select a handful of questions to get the Q&A started before opening it up to general questions.
Comments & Feedback
Have you ever had to switch careers? Was it hard to adjust? And if so, how did you specifically adjust?
Is there any special event or experienve that you want to share?
any difficuties?
How did you overcome your weaknesses. Are there any ways to overcome?
There is always a debate between experience versus education. And equal confusion on if they complement each other or if they are independent of one another. I strongly believe no education (knowledge) or experience gained will ever go waste and will come in handy at a point we may never realize. How does experience and learning from others fit in this context and how different is it from experience and learning from self?
I transferred to MSU from Washtenaw Community College where I received my associates degree. Two questions 1. Would you view this as a positive or negative commendation? 2. I worked full-time for a local company in the process quoting, selling, building, and installing docks/boat lifts (avg. 60+ hours/week). Would you consider this work experience (involved a lot of direct communication with customers)? Or would you only classify it as such if it were directly dealing with advertising and digital media?
what was the most memorable stuffs as you made decision of starting job? or any share experience?
Would an employer rather see experiance from a larger company that is well known or would they rather see that you worked in a smaller company maybe showing that you were more involved in the day to day opporations?
I am a member of a new entropreneurship back in my hometown.
Actually, I thought the most important thing to start a business is an experience rather than knowledges.
What do you think is the most important thing to start a business? Is it depends on jobs?
I am really interest in digital advertising after I had interned for a digital advertising company last summer. MSU has a great advertising program, however, my employer has dicussed with me that she is looking for candidate of the ad operation and she found out most advertising students don't have much knowledage and experiences in digital advertising field but traditional agency side. My question is: what specific area would you recommend advertising students to know in digital advertising if they want to become a professional in this specific field and how would you predict the industry in 5 to 10 years.
If you could give yourself one piece of advice before you started your career in digital marketing, what would that be? Would you have done anything differently?
Do you think that getting experience is the most important thing? why? what is the most effective way to get experience?
Why did you say that very little of what we learned te theories is like to work in the real industry field, could you give us an example in your career? what do you think of " everything is changing fast, what we learn now might not apply to our future work'?
Do you really think the knowledge or skills of ADV will affect your future career? and how?
What's your dream job? Do you work for your dream? What are you working for? Dream or Income?
Before you get current job, have you ever changed your job? Why ? Do you regret your decision?
Before teaching these ADV courses at MSU, have you ever changed your job? If so, why would you change it and how could you adapt into the job you are doing right now?
Did you ever change careers/jobs and if so, how did you adjust to the new career/job?
Do you need an MBA to work your way up the ladder in Advertising or to work in analytics?
What would you suggest about starting a new business?
How important is it to have not only a variety of skills in digital marketing, but skills that most others do not? Is scarcity of skills a big factor for either clients looking to hire digital marketers or digital marketing companies looking to hire employees?
Where do you look to stay ahead of the curve on inbound marketing and other digital strategies when there is so much changing about the ways in which we interact with the web?
What is the best advice you can give a recent college graduate for looking for work in Marketing/Advertising field? (where to apply? tailor resume? ect?)
What is the most difficult decision that you have ever had to make in a work setting?
Have you ever had issues gaining your real world knowledge? Is it difficult to switch your school knowledge into real world knowledge? I have heard that sometimes what you learn in class is not always how you apply it in the real world.
How should i go about making a website for my music? Would it be any different from making a regular website? How would you stream music? I guess I just want to know the easiest way to do all of that.
I agree with this post a lot. I have had many jobs throughout my life and a big thing I can pass on is take something from everywhere you go. I doesn't after if it's a computer program skill or just some insight from your boss you have to take everything you have and take it with you. One question I have is if you really hate your boss or manager, but you like the job what do you do?
What was the first step in creating your own buisness? How did you know where to start?
What is the most difficult part about starting your own business?
Would you ever choose money and a bad job over a career you option that would make you happier going to work?
What do you recommend doing to stay up to date with everything in digital marketing?
what is the most important thing I need to do to stand out from others?
How do you quickly adapt to a new position within the same industry? For example, perhaps you started off in sports marketing, and suddenly a new opportunity arises in automotive marketing; how can you quickly adapt to fit the needs of a company in a different sub-industry?
Do you ever get used to changing careers over and over? What makes you stand out in the work place?
How do you know if you're succeeding/doing your job right when starting a new job? For example, I recently started a new position, which mostly involves writing. How am I supposed to critique whether I'm doing the job to the expected standards?
Being a digital marketer how have you used the skills you have and what you have taught us to arket yourself and not just a company?
What types of materials should I have ready for a job interview for a marketing position? In specific, what resource would mean the most to you as an employer hiring a new employee?
What level of corporate transparency do we need to have in order to advertise on digital marketing? Otherwise, what's the right time to advertise on digital marketing?

Have either one of you come accross any major complications in your careers and made any second guesses regarding the field you chose?
With many jobs it can be hard to find your consitancy and create great work. How do you effectively create consitant good work while changing the atmosphere you work in?
Have you ever worked on any international digital strategies? While I was doing research on Shanghai Disney the logistics of advertising into China were daunting.
How do you deal with pressure or stressful situations at work? What do you like the most and least about working in digital marketing industry?
In the first class Derek talked about how Advertising is basically a revolving door of firing and hiring, how much does that effect your home life and are there ways to make sure your job is more stable than not?
Say I were to apply for a position at your company. (Entry level just graduated from MSU)
What do you look for (skill wise)? What impresses you? What dissapoints you?
How did you first know what your passion was and how would someone find out what really motivates them?

|Lightning Pierce
|First Appearance
|Light Novel
|Volume 1, Chapter 4
|Episode 2
|Black Magic
|Short to Long range
Lightning Pierce (ライトニング・ピアス, Raitoningu Piasu) is a military-grade offensive Black Magic spell that pierces through targets with a flash of lightning.
Usage Edit
Lightning Pierce is similar to Shock Bolt in appearance. However, it is superior to Shock Bolt in power, speed, piercing power, and firing range. Unlike Shock Bolt, Lightning Pierce is potentially lethal, and a person with no magical defense would likely be electrocuted to death from merely touching a bolt.[1]
Chants Edit
Lightning Pierce can be cast with the three-phrase chant "Ferocious thunder emperor, pay heed / and pierce with your / brilliant lance of light!" (《猛き雷帝よ・極光の閃槍以て・刺し穿て》, takeki raitei yo / kyokkō no sensō motte / sashiugate). It can also be chanted with one-phrase chants such as "Pierce, lance of light!" (《貫け閃槍》, tsuranuke sensō) and "O Thunder Emperor's lance of light!" (《雷帝の閃槍よ》, raitei no sensō yo).[2]
Additionally, Jin Ganis prefers to cast it with the single-word chant "Bang!" (《ズドン》, Zudon).[3]

If your credit is, well, iffy, you'll want to take note of this. FHA is taking a hard look at lenders with higher default rates, and taking away their approval to underwrite FHA mortgages. Even if every loan they approve and fund conforms 100% to FHA's underwriting guidelines. Why should you care? A couple of reasons.
- Get your Free Quote in Minutes!
- Lenders Compete for your Business
- Lock in a Low Fixed Rate Before Rates Increase!
- Do you have the Lowest Rate Possible? Find Out Instantly!
First, if you have an FHA loan in process, and your lender gets yanked, your loan ends up in limbo. Not something you want to happen, especially if you're trying to get a loan closed before June 30th so you can take your first-time home buyer tax credit. So if time is of the essence, you don't want a lender with a high default ratio.
The second reason is even more compelling for people who have bad credit or have re-established credit after having bad credit. FHA guidelines may allow you to be approved for a mortgage with 3.5% down and only a 580 credit score, but many lenders require 620, 640, or 660 to approve you. In fact, the average FHA borrower today has a credit score of 693, up from 621 just a couple of years ago. Knowing which lenders have higher default ratios may point you to the ones that accept lower credit scores or underwrite with more leeway. So if you need that kind of consideration, you may want to seek out these lenders when buying a home.
What is a default and claim rate (DCR)? FHA looks at two things over a 24 month period when it rates its lenders. First, the default ratio, which is the number of FHA loans that go into default divided by the number of FHA loans funded. So, if a lender funds 500 FHA loans in a 2-year period and 20 go into default, its default ratio is 20/500, or 4%. This rate is compared to that of every FHA lender in a field office's jurisdiction, using what is called a compare ratio (CR). So if the average default / claim rate is 2%, the lender with the 4% rate's clients are defaulting twice as much; its compare ratio is 200%. Ratios of 200% or higher put the lender at risk for losing its approval. Ratios of 150% or lower are considered safe.
You can look up the DCR and CR of any lender in your area. Just go to the Neighborhood Watch Web site (the site was set up by FHA). Click on the "Early Warnings" tab and then on "single lender" to check on a specific company, or choose all the lenders in the jurisdiction of the field office in your area. Then you see the CRs and DCRs for all of them. Click "Submit" to get the data.

Winter Learning Journey - Activity 7
5 comments:
Hi TiavaReplyDelete
It's sad how so many whales died on that beach (Farewell Spit). Despite the local people trying to help, many of those poor whales died. Keep up the good work.
Hi Tiava. Like Daniel, said, it's very sad to hear Whales dying from this. Hopefully what locals are doing is enough to save these poor Whales. You are doing really well with the Winter Learning Journey activities, keep it up.ReplyDelete
Hello Tiava, it is really great to see that people are trying to help the whales by pouring buckets of water on them. It is super sad that whales are dying. Keep up the fantastic work.ReplyDelete
Hi TiavaReplyDelete
It's sad that so many whales died. Do you think that the whales knew of the danger?
Good job on describing what people did to save the whales
Hey Tiava!ReplyDelete
Isn't it mazing that so many people stayed up all night to help the whales! It sounds like most of the time they were running back and forth from the sea trying to keep the whales wet. Do you think you would jump in and help?

In this economy today, it makes much more sense to work from home instead of trying to find a second job. Being a small home business owner can seem challenging, but MLM can help you better communicate, earn more money, and help other independent agents. This article has many useful tips to help you start and succeed with multilevel marketing.
Once you have made up your mind to begin a campaign in network marketing, you need to think about what type of compensation package you, as well as the people you are working with, might receive. Find out what type of compensation is expected and how that will work with your budgeting needs.
Quality is always more critical to success than quantity. If you want to be truly profitable, you have to find workers with the drive to succeed, and the willingness to make the effort to establish their own downlines.
To maintain forward momentum in your multi-level marketing endeavors, treat mistakes as learning opportunities. Study your failures and understand where you went wrong. When you can study how you failed, you will be able to see what methods do and do not work for you.
A good customer database is crucial to the success of any MLM campaign. You can purchase email databases or compile the data from your own website. Regardless, a substantial email database will allow you to reach out to as many people as possible.
Be a multi-level marketing leader. Use your creativity to create a campaign that stands out. If you have a great approach, you will attract lots of good traffic to your MLM website. You might also inspire your competitors to imitate you. Try to find a specific niche for your MLM business, rather than copying someone.
It is crucial that you create a monthly budget you can commit to. Set some money aside to invest back into your business. Remember that you can't skimp on the budget to earn a profit if you just don't have it to start with.
Continue using successful strategies and weed out the programs that aren't working. Learn from the people who have been working in network marketing much longer than you have. Watch their success and try to have the same approach and attitude. Imitating the best of the best can quickly turn you into one of them. We shouldn't just learn from the mistakes we make. We should also learn from other people's successes.
Most large corporations rely on MLM. Why should not you use it too? If you utilize these tips, you will be on your way to a successful career MLM as an independent agent.

KNIGHTDALE -- Nine individuals face drug and alcohol charges following a three-month investigation into two ABC-licensed establishments in Knightdale. Special Agents with the Alcohol Law Enforcement Branch of the State Bureau of Investigation and Knightdale Police partnered on the investigation.
Search warrants were executed on Thursday, Oct. 23, at Rudinos Pizza, located at 4022 Village Park Drive, as well as Sports Page, located at 835 North Smithfield Road. ALE began the investigation after receiving information from the Knightdale Police Department, as well as concerned citizens, that illegal activity was occurring at these businesses. The investigation revealed that numerous criminal violations, specifically of drug and alcohol laws, were occurring at the business on a regular basis.
"Criminal activity within ABC-licensed establishments such as these creates an unsafe environment for patrons as well as the community as a whole," said B.W. Collier, acting director of the State Bureau of Investigation. "Disregard for such illegal activity allows the criminal element in our communities to use these businesses as a haven for criminal acts. We are proud to partner with outstanding local agencies, such as the Knightdale Police Department, to thwart such behavior."
