Skooloko, a student-created website made for students to trade goods and services has seen a rise in popularity since its birth in the fall of 2013. "It's sort of an online marketplace," co-owner senior Sewedo Whenu said. "[It's] a place where college students from all over can come together to offer and receive things from a greater community."
According to Whenu, "The site has a very basic search functionality right now," but has been steadily growing and developing. With that progress, it's been gaining recognition from others around New York State.
On April 9, Skooloko was one of six Geneseo teams to compete at the New York Business Plan Competition semifinal round at the University of Rochester and will now be one of three Geneseo teams to advance into the NYBPC Finals at SUNY College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering in Albany.
"I believe we competed against a total of 69 teams, to be one of nine teams that were selected to advance from this region," Whenu said. "We did pretty well, which is encouraging."
The top teams from each region will compete for the grand prize in Albany on April 25.
"The competition is open to all student groups, from undergraduates, to graduate students, to even Ph.D students," Whenu said. "We competed in the 'Software and IT' category … and in the finals we will compete in our categories and then all together for the final prize."
The Skooloko team became involved in the NYBPC as part of VanArsdale Chair of the School of Business Judy Albers' experimental "Idea2Venture" entrepreneurship class, a course that Whenu and his colleagues are currently enrolled in.Presently, seniors Nathan Wilson, Madison Rittenhouse and Olivia Sluzar are all part of the Geneseo faction of Skooloko with Whenu, who also works with other colleges across the state.
"We created the site because we realized that there was a need in the community," Whenu said. "Students often go through similar experiences – whether it be moving off campus or taking different sets of classes every semester – students have similar goods from those experiences and need a formal place to trade those things with each other."
On Skooloko, users can sell anything from used textbooks to old couches, and can offer services like photography or haircutting to people either within a college community or outside of a specific campus.
"It's a way to streamline the practice of trading goods and services on campus without the risks and fees of other platforms," Whenu said.
While Whenu acknowledges the benefits of other methods of getting this information out there, he feels that bulletin boards and unmanaged Facebook groups can only offer students so much.
According to Whenu, the biggest problem he and his colleagues have encountered with the site thus far has been a lack of advertisement, which led them to launch their first campaign "Got Stuff" in order to spread the word.

'A good day at Goodison' - Gueye delighted as Everton bounce back to winning ways
Idrissa Gueye is delighted with Everton's 3-1 victory over Crystal Palace and has it described as 'a good day at Goodison'.
Goals from Gylfi Sigurdsson, compatriot Oumar Niasse and Tom Davies were enough to see the Toffees topple their visitors who got a late consolatory effort via Luka Milivojevic's penalty.
The result saw Sam Allardyce's side return to winning ways after last week's 4-1 thrashing at the hands of Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium.
The win was even more significant for the Toffees who have been the dominant of the two sides in this fixture - now unbeaten in their last seven Premier League games against the Eagles [three wins and four draws] - as they claimed their first maximum points over Crystal Palace at the Goodison Park since April 2005.
And Gueye took to the Instagram to share his happiness, captioning a picture in which he was in a jubilant mood with Niasse: 'a good day at Goodison'.

Do you like to shower using warm water? Here are some benefits of bathing with warm water, you must know
23 Oktober 2017 Add Comment Edit
Benefits of bathing with warm water - Everyone would like to shower with warm water because it provides comfort, especially during the rainy season.
In addition to making the body become more relaxed, bathing with warm water also provides good benefits for your health.
The following are some benefits of a warm bath for your health:
Provides a relaxing effect
A study at the Mayo Clinic says that warm water can cause the heart to work faster to pump blood to the surface of the body so heat can be released.
These causes dilated blood vessels (expansions) thereby decreasing blood vessel flow resistance and lowering blood pressure. The flow of blood vessels to the muscles can also help muscle relaxation.
Relieves colds
Warm bath water allows you to breathe in vapors that can relieve breathing. You can also add a few drops of aromatherapy oils into warm water to create a more relaxed atmosphere.
Moisturizes the skin
Warm bath can open the pores and clean the dirt contained in it. Warm water is also able to moisturize the skin, thus creating a soft and supple skin.
Helps sleep more soundly
You can overcome the difficulty of sleeping by soaking in warm water. Changes in body temperature during a warm shower for a moment can help sleep more soundly.
Reduce stress
Do not rush while taking a warm bath. Take a minute to unwind and relax. Warm bath water has a calming effect on your body. Try to indulge in this 'ritual', because a hot water bath is powerful to relieve stress.
Improve blood circulation
Warm water can fix muscle problems, joint pain associated with arthritis problems, muscle injury, and muscle fatigue. Warm water will work the blood vessels by making joints, tendons, tissues and muscles more slack. Although it can not heal forever, soaking for a few minutes can reduce the pain.
The relaxing effect of a warm bath is not a myth. Not only that, a warm bath is also efficacious relax muscles, relieve stress, and overcome insomnia. You can occasionally take a hot bath at night, when the body feels too tired. Do it for a while, because a bath of warm water that is too long can damage the skin.

There's more to creating professional-looking paint finishes than the stroke of a brush. Correct preparation of wall surfaces before the paint goes on is a significant factor.
It's important to scrutinize every surface so the necessary preparation can be tackled before you begin painting.
Check the walls and ceilings for cracks, runs, or ridges in the old paint. These conditions can be treated with a scraper and sandpaper, plus primer for bare spots.

oh, lawd. what will be the title of his first course?
From the Big D's James Nash, who seems like he has a playful sense of humor:
Ex-Dann exec goes back to school
After his ill-fated stint as former Attorney General Marc Dann's top nonlegal aide, Edgar C. Simpson evidently has decided to go back to his roots.
Simpson, 44, had been a small-town newspaper editor in Missouri when Dann picked him to run the sprawling non-legal side of his office, which includes policy, communications, purchasing, human resources and some law-enforcement functions.
Simpson had worked with, and was close friends with, Dann's wife when both worked for the Tribune Chronicle in Warren.
Simpson was forced out of the attorney general's office when an internal probe of sexual-harassment charges revealed his shortcomings as a manager and his often clumsy attempts to suppress the harassment claims. Dann himself quit less than two weeks later.
Simpson has enrolled in a master's degree program at Ohio University in journalism, which will allow him to teach the subject, said Tom Hodson, director of the E.W. Scripps School of Journalism.
Simpson will teach a basic reporting class to undergraduates as part of his master's program, Hodson said. The position will pay about $9,700 for a semester as well as providing a substantial discount on tuition, he said.

Online Community Results specializes in private social communities for associations, providing outsourced day-to-day community management, coaching for community managers, consulting, and community strategy services. This post was originally published on their web site: Think Like a Product Designer When Launching Your Online Community
Steve Jobs was a brilliant product designer. He would have been a great online community manager. Let's consider the following quote from Jobs:
"When you first start off trying to solve a problem, the first solutions you come up with are very complex, and most people stop there. But if you keep going, and live with the problem and peel more layers of the onion off, you can often times arrive at some very elegant and simple solutions."
I can picture an online community launched by Jobs. It would have simple, yet elegant design (think Apple website) and contain just the features that he felt his community members needed (think Apple products).
You use your iPhone and you think, "It's easy to use, it's simple. Not much to that." You login to Steve Jobs' (fictional) online community and you might have similar thoughts. But I bet Steve would have spent a lot of time noodling over finding the essence of what his community members wanted.
When launching your online community, think like a product designer. Think like Steve Jobs. Simpler is better.
Online community platforms have lots and lots of features: discussions, Q&A, ideation, blogs, gaming mechanics, etc. Conventional wisdom is, "turn them all on and let's see where users gravitate."
"Wrong," says Steve. Figure out the essence of what your community members want. A membership community (for an association) is going to have an "essence" that's quite distinct from a customer support community (for a B2B vendor).
While Jobs would intuitively know what his customers need, you may need to have conversations with your members (or potential members) and even run a few focus groups.
DNN, we deployed our Evoq Social online community solution as our intranet and enabled a few select features at launch. We evaluated the initial needs (of our employees) and activated just the features that would address those needs.
For the features that you do launch, review every single metric available from your online community platform. You'll want to track visits, page views, comments, social shares, likes, up-votes, down-votes and more. Establish benchmarks prior to launch, then track your progress on a monthly or more frequent basis.
Tweak and adjust if necessary. If one particular feature is not seeing the adoption you targeted, try some changes and see if the numbers improve. Only consider enabling new features (in your online community) once you've surpassed an initial set of milestones. And if you find a particular feature just isn't resonating, deactivate it.
When you do roll out those new features, use the same cycle of measure, iterate, measure. Even Steve Jobs didn't always get it right the first time.
If you think about it, community managers, part of your role is to design and create experiences to delight your target "customer." Sounds like a product designer to me! Whether your community is to be utilized for profit or for goodwill, you're creating experiences in a manner similar to product designers and product managers.
Take the time to design it well. And at launch, err on the side of less features over more features.
For a related resource, I invite you to download
The Online Community Playbook, which provides you with strategies and tactics for launching the Evoq Social online community.
Colleague Clint Patterson published a great blog series on how to create sustained engagement in online communities. Check out Part 1 of Clint's series, where you'll find links to Parts 2 and 3.

I don't like talking about the fact that things get me down – life, the dissertation, the weather, stupid emails from stupid people, that woman who looked at me with such ire in Barre class, etc. Nothing makes me happier than when my dearest Partner comes home at the end of the day and gives me a big hug. But still, there are those 10 other hours of the day in which I must write, work, and run errands in this rather gray city that every now and again seems to sap a lot out of me.
The winter has always gotten to me. Less so when I lived in a place where winter activity abounded or when I lived in places where I knew lots fun and awesome people – hello Bread Loaf! But this year, because I am living with someone I love, who does not deserve to have to put up with my very moody self if I can help it, I invested in one of those SAD Lamps.

I guess I can't say whether or not it is working for me as I am not 100% consistent in my usage of it. I think it is helping some as I am not feeling nearly as bad as I know that I could. Today, however, I know that I need it as it is dark out. I don't think the sun will be peeping out at all and I really could use something to pick me up and keep me going while I write, write, write away on the dissertation.

As some of you may know, I like to take a photo or two.
Actually, thousands if you were to ask my laptop memory…
You see, back in the days of childless freedom, I travelled a shit ton and all of my captures were full of picturesque places and interesting people. Even when I wasn't travelling, I always found time to roam our own city streets on the look out for things that inspired me, moved me, and things I wanted to hold onto forever. Hell, I even had a gallery show once and sold a few pieces.
The same passion is true today minus all the time for roaming aimlessly in the afternoon with a camera and half lit j. This year has especially flown by thanks to my shift in work and personal focus, making me busier than I thought (in the best way). Between helping build The Rebel Mama empire, working with my husband on his, and raising my little crazy, my favourite pastime (photography) has taken a backseat. But I'm SERIOUSLY over it.
I have vowed to jump right back into what makes me most passionate and alive: capturing the simple beauty of life, and all its imperfect charm. And as a new to-do on my list, taking photos of all the beautiful people that make up the Rebel Mama Squad.
This community of Rebel Mamas, Papas, Aunties, Friends and Supporters is the fuel to our fire and what better way to celebrate their inner and outer beauty than getting them in front of the lens? This is a personal project that I hope shows – through my eyes and theirs – how we're really all in it together.
SO – who wants to help this mama out and get in front of the camera (in a super chill, natural, non studio/cheesy way) for a photo sesh where realistically we will just hang, drink coffee (or wine – whatever your pleasure) and capture you as you are because hey, we ain't getting any younger… the time is now.
Head to our instagram to find out how to get in on this RM project and walk away with some memorable snaps: www.instagram.com/therebelmama
Good luck!

Electric vehicles may one day be able to recharge while driving down the highway, drawing wireless power directly from plates installed in the road that would make it possible to drive hundreds -- if not thousands -- of miles without having to plug in. While the idea may sound like science fiction, University of Colorado Boulder engineers are working to bring it closer to reality.
"We'd like to enable electric vehicles to charge on the go," said Khurram Afridi, an assistant professor in CU Boulder's Department of Electrical, Computer and Energy Engineering.
Over the last two years, Afridi and his colleagues have developed a proof of concept for wireless power transfer that transfers electrical energy through electric fields at very high frequencies. The ability to send large amounts of energy across greater physical distance to in-motion platforms from low cost charging plates could one day allow the technology to expand beyond small consumer electronics like cell phones and begin powering bigger things like automobiles.

The Apostle Paul's exclamation in Rom 11:36 strikes me as an especially fitting response on Thanksgiving Day.
"For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be glory forever. Amen."
As I thanked God for specific blessings in my life this morning, my heart quickly turned to my brothers and sisters at KingsWay. How I praise God for you, my friends! There are at least seven reasons why that's the case.
That list took my about all of 10 minutes to write. Why? Because it's not hard to thank God for you. The evidences of his gracious work in your life are obvious. He has been amazingly kind to allow me to be one of your shepherds.

Saville takes walking gold for Australia28 July 2002Australias Jane Saville took gold in the 20km walk and admitted she was relieved just to finish the race without being disqualified.
Jane Saville took gold at Salford Quays
27-year-old Saville (1:36:34) considered retiring after being disqualified at the Sydney Olympics and the 2001 World Athletics Championships at Edmonton: I was delighted to finish today, she said and then added: I was keen to prove myself today and Im really pleased to have won here.
Englands Lisa Kehler, who took bronze in the walk at New Zealand 1990 and Kula Lumpur 1998 finished ten seconds behind Saville to take silver. Malaysias Yu Fang Yuan took bronze with a time of 1:40:00.
Saville continued Australias dominance in the walking event which has been extended from 10km for the first time since it was introduced at the 1990 Games. Australia have a 100 per cent record in the event with Saville taking gold in1998.
Saville paid tribute to the crowd and the host city after the event: It was a fantastic atmosphere today, I have never heard anything like it. Manchester has really embraced the Games.

Android Tablet computer. And we got some pictures,which are about the comparison of Ramos X10 with a unknown 8.0 inch tablet, from Ramos.
tablet computers under the same level of brightness in settings, we can obviously see the Ramos X10 is much brighter. And Ramos official said the display X10 used from the same manufacturer of iPad mini, we guess this tablet would use IPS touchscreen rather retina display.
While, this product is still under test yet. Tablets World would at the first time list it once available to order. Any doubt you may have, please don't hesitate to let us know!

The Dilberts of the world may offer the next big ad revenue boost for Broadcast.com and TV stations with Web sites.
The Dallas-based provider of Internet content is aiming at work place PC users -- depicted in the cartoon strip "Dilbert" -- as it seeks mainstream advertisers and TV media partners.
"When you leave your house and go to work, you're on the dark side of the moon for most advertisers," Broadcast.com (BCST) bcst President Mark Cuban told CBS.MarketWatch.com. "The number one media device in the office is the personal computer, not the TV."
On Tuesday, Broadcast.com added stations in Philadelphia, Houston and New York -- all part of Disney's (DIS) DIS, +0.15% ABC-TV network -- to its stable of TV partners. See related story.
It will now offer local news and other content in eight of the top-ten U.S. media markets, including Dallas, San Francisco, and Los Angeles. A Chicago deal may soon follow.
The effort targets white collar workers on the job, elusive quarry for TV stations.
"We were interested because it gets more of our product out to viewers at their offices," said Tom Kane, president and general manager of ABC-TV in New York City. "Times have changed and more of us are working later."
Kane said Broadcast.com's 500,000 users may help to build his station's audience and in turn draw more advertising.
Big bucks
As DoubleClick CEO Kevin O'Connor said last week, the most prevalent Internet advertisers are tech companies and financial service firms. See earlier CyberPitch.
These two categories, while hefty, don't carry the most money in the ad world, led by consumer products such as cars and food.
Web ad denizens often lament that the medium has yet to capture big bucks from the honchos in the business.
This is where Broadcast.com comes in, by offering an untapped set of office eyeballs via the Web.
Broadcast.com's Cuban said auto makers -- already big players on the Web but even bigger ones on TV -- are interested.
Broadcast.com's streaming video ads, which differ from traditional Web banner ads, are a plus, he said.
"The TV station deals are enabling more video content on the Web," Cuban said. "Banner ads are great for now, but they're not gonna go on forever."
So, the time may be right for Broadcast.com.
Parked at a booth at this week's National Association of Television Programming Executives Conference in New Orleans, Cuban said broadcasters seem interested in cutting content deals to maintain and even grow their audience as more eyeballs shift to the Web.
"This is the best show we've ever done," he beamed.

Phoenix, AZ -- Garage cabinet and garage
interiors market leader Slide-Lok introduces new fast drying garage floor

times of up to four days, Slide-Lok has positioned itself to dominate

and additional benefits of all-season application and high bond strength
to concrete make this Flexmar Coating System truly revolutionary and unique."

have to unpack their garage and be inconvenienced for four days to have
a great looking floor. With our new floor coating system, Slide-Lok can
have you back in your garage the same day and parking tomorrow."
"Even more exciting," says Strayer, "Flexmar's flooring
system is more durable than existing epoxy products, giving our customers

Wheeler Real Estate Investment Trust Inc (NASDAQ:WHLR): Is This 18.1% Yield Safe?
Should Investors Consider This High-Yield Stock?
High-yield stocks are not known for their dividend safety, so today let's look at a company that currently offers a jaw-dropping yield of 18.05% and see whether it deserves the attention of income investors.
The company in question is Wheeler Real Estate Investment Trust Inc (NASDAQ:WHLR), a real estate investment trust (REIT) headquartered in Virginia Beach, Virginia. Wheeler is in the business of acquiring and operating income-producing retail properties, particularly grocery-anchored shopping centers. By owning and operating these properties, Wheeler REIT collects a stream of rental income from the tenants.
And because the company is structured as a REIT, it is required by law to distribute at least 90% of its profits to shareholders every year in the form of dividends. This distribution requirement is one of the reasons why REITs often turn out to be the higher-yielding instruments in today's market.
Wheeler REIT pays quarterly dividends of $0.34 per share. At the current price, that translates to an annual yield of 18.05%, which is more than nine times the yield of the average S&P 500 company.

10 Best Real Estate Stocks to Own in 2017
When it comes to evaluating a real estate company's dividend safety, a key metric to consider is funds from operations (FFO). FFO is basically a measure of operating cash flow, which is where dividends come from. If a REIT wants to pay sustainable dividends, it has to be able to generate enough FFO to cover its payout.
In 2016, Wheeler REIT generated adjusted funds from operations (AFFO) of $0.21 per share. Back then, the company was paying monthly dividends of $0.0175 per share. So the AFFO it generated last year was just enough to cover its 12 monthly distributions. (Source: "Wheeler Real Estate Investment Trust, Inc. Announces 2016 Annual Results, 1-For-8 Reverse Stock Split and Transition to Quarterly Common Stock Dividend Payments," Wheeler Real Estate Investment Trust Inc, February 27, 2017.)
A 100% payout ratio leaves no margin for error, and the company was prompt to cut its payout. Now, keep in mind that Wheeler REIT also conducted a one-for-eight reverse stock split earlier this year, so the dividend amount will need to be adjusted as well.
After the reverse split, the company started paying quarterly dividends of $0.34 per share, which represented a 19% decrease from last year's split-adjusted equivalent quarterly payout.
Does the new payout amount leave at least some margin for safety?
Well, so far, the company has reported financial results for the first two quarters of 2017. During this period, Wheeler REIT grew its total revenue from continuing operations by 43.6% year-over-year to $8.8 million. The company's net operating income from continuing operations increased 42.6% year-over-year to $20.0 million. (Source: "Wheeler Real Estate Investment Trust, Inc. Announces 2017 Second Quarter Financial Results," Wheeler Real Estate Investment Trust Inc, August 8, 2017.)
The thing is, though, Wheeler REIT's adjusted funds from operations came in at $0.70 per share for the first half of 2017, which was not enough to cover its $0.76 of dividends per share declared during this period.
The Bottom Line on WHLR Stock
Certain aspects of Wheeler REIT's business have been improving. But, unless the company can significantly boost its operating cash flow, the current payout level does not look sustainable.

text: Considerations When Hiring Electrical Contractors The services of an electrical contractor are needed whenever one is constructing a house whether it is a commercial building or a residential house. The primary tasks of an electrical contractor is to provide electrical installation services in the case of new buildings and repair electrical systems in old buildings. When one is out to have their houses renovated there are individuals who prefer to undertake the projects on their own, but considering the risks that are involved when handling electrical systems there is the need to hire experts as poor installation may lead to damages, loss of property and even death. Whether one needs to renovate or remodel their house, or when they are constructing a new building, there is need to hire experts. There are many individuals as well as contracting companies which have been established thus the need for one to be keen when selecting a contractor. When selecting the best industrial electrical contractor there is need for one to seek qualified professionals to offer the installation or the repair services. There is need for one to request for the certificates of the contractor to verify that they have been accredited and also request for the license which implies that a given contractor has been certified by the government to carry out electrical installation services. When one hires an expert to handle their electrical systems, there are high chances of having their electrical systems well installed where there are measures that are also properly put in place to ensure the safety of the occupants in the case of an emergency. In the case of a wrongly installed system by a licensed electrician, one can sue them and get compensated. If one has to get services that are in line with the specifications of the house, there is need for one to have a licensed contractor where a qualified contractor can also advise the homeowner on how to correctly install electrical appliances. The rates that a contractor charges should also influence the decision of which contractor to hire where one should select contractors offering affordable rates. The company should also offer a wide range of services that are related to installation where they should also possess the equipment needed to install, maintain, designing as well as repairing commercial, industrial and residential electrical systems. The company should also have the ability to offer surging protection and lighting protection as part of their services. The aforementioned services should be offered at a good price but when one is out to hire a contractor but one also needs to be keen on the quality of the products when they are hiring a contractor. By comparing estimates from different contractors one can identify the best contractor to take the task.Getting To The Point – Businesses

Earlier this month, an armed robbery reportedly took place in the middle of the day in a busy shopping center. The owner of a Charlotte-area jewelry store told police that he was caught off guard when two men entered his store, held a gun to his face and demanded that he give them cash. He also claims that he was beaten during the alleged robbery, which has caused concern in the area about an increase in both property crime and crimes involving violence.
The incident is surprising, considering that the shopping center that houses the jewelry store is also home to a Mint Hill police substation. Police say that the owner of the shopping center allows the city to use the location free of charge, but that city resources are insufficient to staff the location around the clock. It is unclear whether the substation was staffed at the time of the incident.
The robbery was captured on video via a surveillance system installed within the jewelry store. Police have also reviewed surveillance tapes from a grocery store near the robbery scene. The tapes show two individuals who appear to be the same two men who were videoed inside the jewelry store.. No arrests have been made regarding the incident, nor has there been any indication that authorities are aware of the identity of the individuals they believe were involved.
This incident is the second violent crime reported to have taken place in this shopping center in the past three months. In the other case, a woman was injured when a man grabbed her purse. Police have arrested a suspect in that case. Charlotte-area residents and business owners are concerned about what appears to be a recent spike in property crime in the Mint Hill area. Nevertheless, it is hoped that anyone apprehended for these alleged crimes will be accorded the same rights that apply to all individuals in our state who are accused of a criminal act.

This report presents a collaboration of ideas focused on the economic development of Indigenous Australia.
A collaboration of ideas focused on the economic development of Indigenous Australia.
The imperative to drive economic growth has traditionally been central to our national interest debate. However, Indigenous Australia has largely been excluded from these discussions. Instead, the discussions tend to revolve around what could be 'fixed' for Indigenous Australia.
Thankfully, this is changing.
A generation of Indigenous leaders has argued passive welfare is destructive to dignity, and that long term economic empowerment must be built through employment and entrepreneurial activity.
This publication is about contributing to this momentum. It is not a blueprint or a grand plan. It is not about what government or business can do 'for' Indigenous Australia. This publication brings together prominent Indigenous thinkers and combines them with KPMG specialists to provide tangible recommendations focused on economic development, and explanations for why they are important.
The result: a very broad, very exciting, yet very digestible collection of ideas we sincerely hope will inspire action.

Acacia sells more apartment buildingsSeattle Daily Journal of Commerce
The DJC recently reported that Acacia Capital Corp. of Phoenix sold the 87-unit Q Apartments on Upper Queen Anne for $26.5 million.
In two related sales, also using LLCs, Acacia sold two other upgraded Seattle apartment buildings to separate new owners for a combined total of $27.65 million.
Here are the two others that sold:
- The Summit at 733 Summit Ave. E. on Capitol Hill. The 52-unit building was developed in 1949. Acacia's SEA Summit 12-B LLC acquired the property as part of a 2010 portfolio sale for $9.1 million. The Summit sold for $16.97 million, or about $326,400 per unit. The buyer was CX3 Summit LLC, which is associated with investor Susie Naficy of Bellevue.
- The Park at 1205 Queen Anne Ave. N. The 34-unit building was developed in 1948. Acacia's SEA 1205 Queen Anne 12-B LLC acquired the property in the same portfolio sale for $6.3 million. The Park sold for $10.68 million, or about $314,200 per unit. The buyers were four LLCs associated with Westlake Associates, and Kidder Mathews brokers Giovanni Napoli Napoli and Ryan Dinius.
Acacia's sale of all three properties totaled about $54.2 million. The three sales closed at the very end of 2016.
Acacia bought all three properties from Granite Peak Partners in a $33.3 million portfolio sale seven years ago.
Acacia is an active investor in the Seattle area, and has used the same value-add strategy on older apartment buildings on First Hill, in Bellevue and in the International District.
Last October, an Acacia LLC bought the 360-unit Campbell Run apartments in Woodinville for $98 million.

The last two semester in UTP drifted away too fast, all of sudden we are approaching the finishing line. One of the most notable academic stuffs is definitely Final Year Project.
My FYP did on corrosion study, not the real one but involving model simulation in SACS. At least it was something continued from my internship project.
Under the supervision from Dr. Kurian and Ir. Mubarak, everything was so smooth all the way. Really proud to be able to work closely with both lecturer. All the kind assistance, guidance and the learning from their working styles was something priceless. I am glad that toward the end I did developed bond and feeling sad for the completion of this course.
Too bad there is no SEDEX for this semester, we had a blast during the inter-department poster presentation today. Everyone was nicely dressed up and boosted up with confidences for the show. From the event, I got best FYP award in the structure and material cluster, hope that it was something for me to show my gratitude to the SVs.
Anyway, what remaining in FYP are Technical Paper and Viva Presentation
, it is going to be 100% from me to finish this subject.
Less than a month until graduation, see ya there.

I was reading an article lately about Farmland Partners (FPI). The article was centered around whether or not FPI would be able to cover its future dividends or not because so many of their land leases were being terminated despite the fact that they have a 25% penalty for early termination. One of the commenters on the article stated that maybe people should consider owning (CUT) Guggenheim MSCI Global Timber ETF instead. Get real ! First of all you are paying middle men (which my readers know I despise) and second it has a yield of less than 2% !
This got me to thinking in an entirely different direction. Why would I want to own this REIT sub segment at all ? The fact is there are lots of areas that I shy away from in the markets. Some examples are most Retail, Airline Stocks, Railroad Stocks, Banks, and many others. I avoid these areas because I have learned for various reasons not to trust them as they can be very volatile, subject to high Bankruptcy rates, have below average dividend yields etc.
It seems many investors are in the mindset that in order to be properly diversified you have to own stocks in every single corner or subset of the market. This is not true. My advice is to give as much thought to the types of stocks you are investing in as to which stocks you are investing in. By avoiding segments that are traditionally low performing areas you can help to avoid potential losses in the markets. There are no rules saying you have to buy these stocks just because someone dreamt them up.
While it is wise to invest in a diverse area of stocks it is equally unwise to invest in all areas of the stock market just to be in them. Only invest in areas that you believe will not only pay good dividends abut will continue to thrive. Be selective and cautious about your investments.

The sexual harassment case that led to the dismissal of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyhau's Chief of Staff Natan Eshel from public service, is now being revealed.
The weak handling of the case by law enforcement authorities led to Eshel merely undergoing a disciplinary hearing by the Civil Service Commission, although in many people's opinions, there was room for criminal investigation by the police. The testimonies that were collected at the time by the Civil Service Commission's disciplinary department are now being published. The rattling document, spans 21 pages of dense testimony by 28 employees, including the most senior officials of the Prime Minister's Bureau, Israel's holiest of holies.
The document provides grave evidence of what happened there in the years 2010-2011, when Nathan Eshel developed a strange and powerful obsession with R., one of his subordinates.
The document was received by The Jerusalem Post's sister publication Maariv. Here, almost verbatim, is the testimony of the then-cabinet secretary, Tzvi Hauser, who served as acting director-general of the bureau, and thus the person in charge of its human resources, responsible for handling information related to sexual harassment offenses.
This is Houser's testimony:
"A few days after December 12, 2011, in the evening, Yoaz Hendel [then the head of the Public Relations Department in the Prime Minister's Office] entered my office and asked to consult with me on a sensitive subject he could not cope with alone. He looked distraught and told me that he recently became friends with R., who worked in the office and that she had opened her heart to him and told him about her difficult relationship with Natan Eshel, dominated by the feeling that Eshel had taken control of her life. Yoaz characterized the discussion as very difficult and that it was accompanied by burst of weeping by R.
"I'm not sure if he spoke to her once or a number of times. The main point of the matter is that R. is experiencing an unbearable reality, in which her privacy is violated by Eshel, her email inbox is inspected against her will, she fears he is following her and reading her private emails … Handel added that R told him that Eshel took a number of embarrassing photos of R., including up her skirt, and that knowledge of these pictures reached other office personnel, when Eshel's iPhone was taken for repair by then deputy director for operations Ezra Seidoff. I understood from Yoaz that Jordana [Kotler, who today functions as Facebook's primary lobbyist in Israel, and was at the time a senior employee in the Prime Minister's Office] is aware of the details, or at least some of them … I think that in this conversation, Yoaz Hendel may have also told me about the things that were published in a Ma'ariv gossip column that R. blames Eshel for.
"At the time I met with Yoaz Hendel, I was also serving as Acting Director General of the Prime Minister's Office and felt obliged, as R.'s employer, to act on this information. I asked Yoaz to think about it and the following morning I suggested that we share the information and consult with Brig.- Gen. Yohanan Locker [then the prime minister's military secretary], due to his personality and management experience.
"I must note that when Yoaz told me about the photo incident, it immediately brought to mind another odd and embarrassing incident I was witness to myself. A few months ago, sometime in the summer I think, I mentioned it to Yoaz. It happened during a meeting in Eshel's room. Eshel sat to my right and R. sat to his right, in a semicircle, so that R.'s chair was a little ahead of Eshel, and Eshel's chair was slightly ahead of mine.
"Even though we were sitting in Eshel's room, he did not sit in his seat at the head of the table. In his place was Gil Shefer [then Eshel's deputy]. Eshel was holding his iPhone in his right hand in a strange way — the hand was stretched downward and he was moving his hand and body as if trying to read what was written on the screen. I intuitively thought he was making the odd motions because of a problem with his eyesight, but when I looked at the screen, which was facing my direction, I was amazed that it was not an attempt to read text, because the camera application was activated and through the monitor I could clearly see hips and the line between the legs and the rear side of the skirt. After about five seconds, Eshel noticed I could see what he was doing and snapped his hand and body backwards and the discussion continued as usual.
"I saw it as an embarrassing and unworthy act, but I thought it was a momentary and random impulse, and R. certainly did not see it."
"Yoaz agreed to include Locker and three of us held a conversation. Locker's response was adamant. He believed the fact that she shared her feelings with her surroundings was evidence that she was in real distress and that perhaps this was just the tip of the iceberg. He also expressed concern that she might carry out a suicidal act, that these were severe acts, perhaps even criminal, and that as acting director-general I must act immediately and file a complaint.
"At one point, Locker's office manager was brought into the room and we shared the details with her. Her response was that we were blind, and that everybody knew about the sick and disturbed relationship between Eshel and R. We decided to consult with [former attorney general Menachem] Mazuz … He said we must pass the information on. We decided that Yoaz and I would talk to the attorney general. In the conversation, Yoaz told the AG what he told me. I added the information about the case I had witnessed. The conversation took place on December 12, 2011.
"The AG asked for a few days to consult. On December 18, Yoaz informed me that he had been summoned to give a detailed report to the AG and his staff, and that he had spoken to Noa, his subordinate, who R. had also revealed the story to.
"Yoaz relayed that Noa had told him about several conversations with R. in which she had broken into tears and told her that Eshel had taken embarrassing upskirt photographs of her. Noa said that R. was afraid that Eshel was following her. Noa said she had witnessed an incident during a flight to the US, in which Eshel ordered security guards to move away from their seat next to R. He gave R. a sleeping pill and ordered her to go to sleep. He displayed complete knowledge of all her actions. In addition, Noa said that R. told her that Eshel regularly checks her purse. Noa said she urged R. to seek professional assistance to get out of the relationship. According to her, R. told her that she received punishment from Eshel if she defied him and that he could locate and reach her at any time.
"The next day, on December 19, we held a three-way conversation Noa, Yoaz Hendel and myself, in which she repeated her statements. She said she held five conversations with R. on this subject, during which R. explicitly complained about upskirt photographs, frequent rummaging through her purse, inspection of her text messages and so forth. She said that she caught Eshel prying through her email inbox and checking personal emails.
"The next day, on 20 December, Yoaz relayed another conversation that he had held with R. that same day, during which she recounted a case she considered to be a crossing of red lines, in which Eshel summoned her to his room claiming that his computer had broken down and that at some point she leaned toward the computer and felt a foreign object between her legs.
"The next day, on December 21, there was another three-way conversation, this time between me, Yoaz and R. herself, at Yoaz's house … During the meeting, R. repeated the events as I described … She was very nervous and distraught and repeatedly expressed concern that she would be tormented and a desire to leave her workplace, but doubted she could do so because of Eshel's refusal and out of fear of his power.
As she was describing the various ways he could torment her and hurt her and her career, she said Eshel acts like he has to know everything that happens to her, including her private life, and hinted at personal relationships and the development of personal relationships … She appeared to be very credible in that conversation. She did not cry, but was very scared and tense.
"Many believed their relationship at some point deviated from a normal supervisor-subordinate relationship, and the subject arose from time to time in my conversations with Gil Shefer. He hinted to me from time to time about Eshel's obsessive attitude toward R., that he was attached to her, in love with her and follows her every step. There was an incident when I was in Gil's office and he turned my attention to the fact that Eshel went into R.'s room and sat at her computer and observed the computer screen. At the time Gil pointed out to me that he [Eshel] frequently checked R.'s emails, and that as far as he knew, he said he also snooped through her text messages and purse when she was out of the room."
This was Hauser's testimony. The testimony of Yoaz Hendel and Yochanan Locker are no less disturbing.
According to the testimony of others, Hauser wasn't the only one to witness Eshel's upskirt workshop. Others said they saw Eshel pointing his celular camera under R's skirt during official meetings, one of them in the US Congress.
The deplorable relationship between the Prime Minister's Chief of staff and one of the employees carried on for months without anyone doing anything to end it.
Those who did, Handel, Hauser and Locker paid a personal cost. Handel was almost immediately removed from the Bureua, hauzer was forced to resign at the end of the term and sent into exile [he had planned to run for Knesset in the Likud, but passed on the possibility because he knew the prime minister would act against him] Locker was not appointed Air Force Commander, a position he was competing for.
When Eshel quit the bureau, prime minister Netanyahu published a supportive statement, praising Eshel's achievements and completely ignoring the camera.
Natan Eshel's response: "I am shocked that testimonies that were never handed to us and are supposed to be solely in the hands of the Civil Service Commission were leaked. In addition, in contrast to what you present, it must be remembered that I was prosecuted for a disciplinary offense with no sexual nature. This recycling of a disciplinary incident that happened six years ago is motivated by Ben Caspit's desire for personal revenge on me."

Some are simple designs rendered in black and white. Others are complex, colorful splashes inked in red, blue, green, and yellow. No matter what they look like, large or small, tattoos are increasingly on display as the weather gets warmer and the shining sun prompts people to shed layers of clothes. Suddenly, it seems, just about every other person you pass is showing off a tribal arm sleeve, flowering vines twining around a skull on one calf, or even a small butterfly perched on the lower back. Tattoos are common these days, but so is something else: tattoo removal. Albuquerque's Western Dermatology Consultants invites readers to mark the beginning of the warm days of tattoo season with a look at how far tattoo removal has come (hint: a long way, given the modern laser options available).
For a long while, there was nothing people could do if they got a tattoo they later regretted. Tattoo removal was simply not a practical reality, a situation that gave rise to the visual joke of a guy getting his sweetheart's name tattooed on his arm—just under a series of other girls' names, each with a line through it.
As tattoos began to make their way from far-flung tribes to more populated urban areas via sailors and explorers, so, too, did tattoo removal methods. The earliest techniques involved scraping or cutting the unwanted skin away, or possibly burning it with a hot iron. The tattoo removal "treatment" frequently removed the offending or embarrassing image, but left a large scar and the memory of great pain in its wake.
Heated needles and acids came next, followed by skin grafts, and then by cryogenic freezing paired with microdermabrasion, a more modern form of scouring away the ink.
By the 1960s and 1970s—centuries after tattoos began dotting European ports—skin experts had developed and begun using lasers as a form of tattoo removal. As with many examples of technology, the method has progressed from crackling beginnings to a widely used, safe, and effective procedure today.
Early tattoo removal lasers were only effective on certain, dark inks in light-colored skin, due to the way they interacted with pigment. Now, lasers are available that can work on a variety of colored inks on a range of skin tones. The light energy breaks up the ink particles in the skin, and these tiny bits are then processed by the body. While there's an immediate sensation similar to a rubber band snapping, followed by some redness, similar to a sunburn, the tissues surrounding the ink are unharmed.
Just as getting a tattoo is a personal choice, tattoo removal is driven by unique motivations. For some people, an unwanted tattoo is a constant reminder of a past they would rather leave behind. For others, it's an impediment to employment, particularly if the tattoo is readily visible, notably offensive, or both.
By some estimates, tattoo removal procedures performed on patients who no longer wanted their ink rose by 440 percent in the decade starting in the mid-2000s.
On the other end of the equation, some people choose to hide the evidence in lieu of total tattoo removal. A clever cover-up can disguise any number of regrettable images or words, transforming what's now considered a mistake into a newer tattoo that (hopefully) more accurately reflects a person's current place in life.
Available numbers, though, seem to show that tattoo removal is the more common option. Covering one tattoo with another may be seen as something akin to fighting fire with fire: effective when done properly, but creating more problems when not.

"What I Love About Exercise": Erika C., Outdoors LoverPublished on by Lorie Parch.
"Like most of you visiting this site I, too, hate exercise--really! But I LOVE being active and I love to play. So what's the difference, you may ask? Maybe it's as simple as a state of mind. When I was a kid, I loved Frisbee, jump rope, climbing trees and monkey bars (I still do!), and playing dodgeball. But gym class--ugh! That was a different story. Even today, you won't catch me in any class that begins with an 'A' and ends with 'bics.' But hiking, rock climbing, cycling, weightlifting, and gymnastic movements that require little coordination are all forms of play and release that I crave physically, spiritually, and mentally. I typically spend about six to eight hours a week doing something. Whatever my schedule, whatever my mood, doing something physical just makes me feel happy--and happiness is contagious. "

NEW YORK — Papa John's founder John Schnatter has resigned as chairman of the board.
The company made the announcement late Wednesday, hours after Schnatter apologized for using a racist slur during a conference call in May.

Forbes said Schnatter used the N-word during a media training exercise. When asked how he would distance himself from racist groups, Schnatter reportedly complained that Colonel Sanders never faced a backlash for using the word.
In a statement released by Louisville, Kentucky-based Papa John's, Schnatter said reports attributing use of "inappropriate and hurtful" language to him were true.

Schnatter stepped down as CEO last year after blaming slowing sales growth on the outcry surrounding football players kneeling during the national anthem. He remains chairman of the company he started when he turned a broom closet at his father's bar into a pizza spot.
Papa John's shares fell nearly five per cent Wednesday after the report, closing at $48.33.

Stunned celebrities mourn (Celebrities news headlines)
Stunned celebrities mourn
CNN reported
The sudden death of singer Whitney Houston at age 48 shocked fans and musicians all over the world. The outpouring of grief was immediate, with one common refrain: The world had lost one of its greatest singers.
Nearly all of the trends on Twitter worldwide were shortly associated with the singer's death: R.I.P Whitney Houston, #DearWhitney, #IWillAlwaysLoveYou, The Bodyguard, Bobby Brown and Wanna Dance With Somebody.
"The first full hour after the news broke saw 2,481,652 tweets and retweets, peaking at 61,227 tweets at 5:23 p.m. (all times are PST)," according to Topsy.com, which indexes and ranks results based on the most influential conversations on social media
"That is over a thousand tweets a second, not quite as much as during the Superbowl but still a lot."
Beyonce Knowles
"The loss of Whitney Houston is painful. I remember meeting Whitney for the first time when I was 15. She was the ultimate legend. The ultimate woman. Not only was she confident, poised, stunningly beautiful and intelligent, but she was sincere and kind. She took the time to make everyone feel like they were very important to her. I, like every singer, always wanted to be just like her. Her voice was perfect. Strong but soothing. Soulful and classic. Her vibrato, her cadence, her control. So many of my life's memories are attached to a Whitney Houston song. She is our queen and she opened doors and provided a blueprint for all of us. God bless her. "
Celine Dion:
"I'm in shock. Whitney was such an amazing artist. When I started my English career, I wanted to be like her. I loved her so much. My prayers go out to her daughter and to all of her family."
Whoopi Goldberg:
"The loss of an icon and superstar like Whitney Houston is devastating. However, it can't compare to the loss of a mother, daughter, niece and friend, so my heart goes out to her family, to whom she was so much more."
Yoko Ono:
"She was a woman of brave and beautiful soul. I feel sad that she had to go."

(Reuters) - First Quantum Minerals Ltd (FM.TO) said on Thursday it is both "surprised and disappointed" that the board of Inmet Mining Corp IMN.TO has decided to reject the takeover proposal that it put forward earlier this month.
Toronto-based Inmet, which is building the huge Cobre Panama copper mine in Central America, said on Wednesday it had turned down a C$4.86 billion ($4.89 billion) unsolicited proposal from larger rival First Quantum, stating that the offer was "highly conditional" and not in the best interests of its shareholders.
"The transaction would have presented an opportunity to realize immediate and attractive cash value for the holders of Inmet shares while preserving the opportunity for both sets of shareholders to participate in the substantial upside value that we believe would be created through a combination," said First Quantum's Chief Executive Philip Pascall, in a statement.
Vancouver, British Columbia-based First Quantum, which owns assets spread across Africa, Australia, South America and Europe, said it had approached Inmet in the hopes of striking a friendly deal.
"First Quantum is both surprised and disappointed at the circumstances under which the Inmet board chose to forego this significant opportunity," said Pascall, adding that the company had approached Inmet on three separate occasions to engage in discussions.
Under First Quantum's proposed cash and share proposal, the company is offering up to C$2.461 billion in cash and issued a maximum of 112.679 million shares, in a deal that values Inmet at C$70 a share, or C$4.86 billion. This follows an initial bid of C$62.50 that was put forward by First Quantum in October.
Shares in Inmet, which closed at C$52.80 on Tuesday, rose more than 17 percent to C$62 following news of the First Quantum offer on Wednesday. Inmet shares rose a further 4.3 percent in early trading on Thursday to C$64.65.
