A sign of hope: a chapel was established in June, thanks to the apostolate of a priest who until recently only had a community of three faithful.
Mongolia is one of the least populated countries in the world. A land of deserts, steppes, and mountains, Mongolia is three times the size of France, with a population of under three million people. It is also a country that has experienced major social upheavals, especially since 1989 and the fall of the Soviet Union.
When their independence was declared, only 27% of the Mongols were living in the capital, Ulaanbaatar. Today, almost half the population lives in Ulaanbaatar, and about 40,000 more people move there every year.
Christians, all confessions included, represent only a little over 2% of the population: most of the inhabitants follow the practices of Tibetan Buddhism, with a mixture of shamanic beliefs.
The Catholic Church in Mongolia suffered greatly at the hands of the Communist dictatorship. When the regime collapsed in 1991, official statistics indicated that there were simply no Catholics in the country. In 1992, the Fathers of the Congregation of the Immaculate Heart of Mary came from the Philippines and changed that state of affairs.
But the Church's situation is anything but simple, since like any other religious organization, she has to renew her registration every year, a process that is always long and unpredictable…
One of the most restrictive conditions that applies to all foreign organizations present in Mongolia —including the Catholic Church— is the obligation of including a minimum percentage of Mongolian employees in their staff. The Catholic Church remains an exception, for unlike almost all other religious organizations that have the status of non-governmental organizations and 95% of whose staff must be native employees, it obtained permission for a minimum of 75%.
In this very restrictive context, a new parish was just established on June 11, on the Solemnity of the Most Blessed Trinity. The Church of Divine Mercy in Erdenet, about 150 miles the north of Ulaanbaatar, was blessed by the Apostolic Prefect, Bishop Wenceslao Padilla. It is one of three new parishes to be created for the 25th anniversary of the Catholic presence in Mongolia.
The community of the Divine Mercy parish was born in 2013, when a Congolese missionary, Fr. Prosper Mbumba, of the Congregation of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, began saying Mass for…only three baptized Catholics then living in the city!
The goal was to accompany these persons in their faith, and not "leave them like sheep without a shepherd," declared the priest, who at the time was in charge of a preschool for disadvantaged children, run by his Congregation since 2002.
"At that time," Fr. Prosper Mbumba told Fides, "once a month I celebrated Mass for three Catholics. I remember that once I was accompanied by a few confreres and so we priests outnumbered the faithful in the congregation. In 2013 on Christmas Eve I celebrated Mass with two people and the next day, Christmas Day, there were three."
"Gradually," he continued, "the community began to grow, because the three lay faithful started bringing friends, relations and neighbors. Since 2015 the community has been gathering every Sunday and we had the idea of requesting institutional recognition. In 2016, the Holy Year of Mercy, the local government granted legal status – which is necessary – for this Catholic community. This is why our community decided to take as its name and holy patron Divine Mercy.
Fr. Prosper Mbumba is now the first parish priest, and on the occasion of that celebration, a new member, an adult, was baptized and received the sacrament of the Eucharist.
The parish has already celebrated six baptisms and a marriage, and many young people and adults are attending catechism classes. "The Catholic Church in Mongolia, with its 1,300 baptized Catholics and a native priest, looks forward to the future with confidence," Fr. Mbumba concluded.
May these Catholics one day discover the true Mass and all the treasures of Tradition!

turnover car branch slides further in 2014, but sales up at start of 2015
According to figures released today by Statistics Netherlands, the Dutch car trade and repairs branch, the largest branch in the automotive sector, realised a net turnover of 29 billion euros in 2014. This is just over 3 percent down on 2013 and nearly 25 percent less than in 2007, the last peak before the crisis set in; sales of new cars collapsed as a result of the economic crisis. There was a slight recovery in the first two months of 2015: just over 80 thousand new cars were sold in this period, 5 percent more than in the first two months of 2014.
Fewer sales of cars and goods vehicles sales, more car parts sold
Within the car branch, businesses selling lorries remained farthest from their turnover level of 2007: they realised a turnover of 4.6 billion euros in 2014, 26 percent less than in 2007. Lower investment spending on new trucks and lorries in particular – an effect of the crisis – influenced sales. Compared with 2007, the number of new goods vehicles sold halved, from over 6 thousand in 2007 to scarcely 3 thousand in 2014.
The car-parts branch is the only segment in this sector to show a positive turnover development. In 2014 this branch realised nearly 10 percent more turnover than in 2007 and just over 1 percent more than in 2013. The branch benefited from the shift in focus to repairs and maintenance of cars.
More and more businesses
Although turnover levels have dropped from year to year, the number of businesses in automotive trade and repairs has increased by around 16 percent since 2007: from just over 15 thousand to 18 thousand. Almost all of this this increase was accounted for by one-man businesses. This group grew by 2.5 thousand businesses. In the middle segment (50-250 workers) the number fell by 350. The number of large businesses – more than 250 workers – remained more or less constant.

goixiz 17 May 2011 14:49
cableModem -> Asus RTN16 (N signal only) -> VOIP OOMA (Phone only)
-> Linksys WRT54G (G signal only)
I like to setup my home wireless network like above
1. Can i just unhook my current setup with linksys and ooma and connect that to the ASUS router (via port), if i dont have to reconfigure the linksys that will be excellent.
2. How would i setup that OOMA has priority over all the wireless device - so when phone is in use all laptops are not priority
3. If i need to reconfig the linksys - what do i have to configure it to ?
thanks in advance

The latest Motorola X phone rumors are pointing towards an announcement on August 1st. While that remains to be seen, it looks like a recent leak is offering a solid look at the handset. The image comes by way of the folks at phoneArena who have it listed as the Motorola XT1056.
As you can see below, the image is clear, but unfortunately it was not published with much else in terms of specs. This image is said to have come as a result of a recent Sprint LTE testing session, which does confirm support for LTE. Of course, given the smartphones we see released today, it would be more of a surprise if the handset didn't have LTE.
The person who managed to grab this picture wasn't able to measure or otherwise check the display size. Previous expectations and rumors suggest the X phone will have a display that is somewhere between 4.5 and 4.7-inches. The display is said to be 720p and the handset should arrive powered by a 1.7GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor.
Other rumored specs look to include 2GB of RAM, 16GB of internal storage and Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean. And on a positive note, the Motorola XT1056 does have a removable battery. This particular leak centered around the image of the handset, but in the past we have heard the Moto X will be launching as a contextually-aware smartphone.
What that means is the handset will be aware of its surroundings. Dennis Woodside from Motorola previously talked about using the handset while in a car. Woodside noted; "Imagine when in the car, the device will know it is going 60MPH and it is going to act differently so you can interact with it safely. Those are the kinds of things we're doing with fundamental technology."

(HTS) - On February 4–5, 2012, a small group of instructors and students from Holy Trinity Seminary visited the Church of the Nativity of Christ in Erie, Pennsylvania. The parish was formerly a priestless Old Believer congregation which was received into the Russian Church Abroad but still maintains the typikon of the medieval Russian Church. The group from Holy Trinity, having studied the history of the Old Believer schism in the classroom, was interested in experiencing Old Rite liturgics firsthand and learning more about the Old Believer movement from people within it. The last group of seminarians from Holy Trinity came to Erie in 2009.
The visitors arrived on Saturday afternoon. Archpriest Pimen Simon, the parish rector, welcomed them into his home and gave a short history of the parish: Priestless Old Believers from Russian Poland founded the church in the early 20th century. Fr Pimen, upon becoming the leader (nastavnik) of the congregation, felt a need for the fullness of the sacramental life. With the help of Priest Dimitri Alexandrow (1930–2010), Father Pimen brought most of his congregation into ROCOR in 1983. Fr Dimitri was consecrated a bishop for the Old Rite, becoming Bishop Daniel of Erie.
Vigil soon began with Small Vespers at 4:15pm. After a short break, the services continued with Vespers, Matins, and First Hour, lasting over four hours. The students saw many similarities in basic structure and texts used, but also noticed many differences in practice. For example, commentary on the Sunday gospel is read during Matins, Znamenny chant is exclusively sung on the "krylos" (kliros), and the sign of the cross is made at different times of the service. "We follow the 'Tserkovnoe Oko' [Eye of the Church]," said Fr Pimen in reference to the Typicon of St. Sava, first translated into Church Slavonic in the 14th century, "and many of the things we do are found in the New Rite as well. You just don't do them." Students had many questions about Old Rite practice, which Father Pimen answered over supper after the All-Night Vigil. He also related a few anecdotes about Bishop Daniel of blessed memory.
The next morning, the students attended the Divine Liturgy, which was preceded by the Midnight Office and the Third, Sixth, and Ninth Hours. All the seminarians participated in the Liturgy, whether on the chanter's stand or in the altar. After liturgy, the students shared a meal with the parishioners and participated in a panel discussion; the congregation had as many questions for the seminarians as they had for the parishoners! The seminarians related how their misconceptions were changed by their visit. "I thought that all the men would have beards down to here and the women would wear seven layers of clothing," said John Martin, a second-year seminarian, "but now I realize that you're all regular Orthodox people, and I feel quite at home at this church."
The instructors and seminarians are especially grateful to Fr. Pimen and the clergy and parishioners at the Nativity of Christ Church for their warm hospitality, and they hope to return again soon.

You join us again to talk about trade wars. First things first, Mellody: are we in one now?
As I mentioned in March, a trade war is the tit-for-tat raising of trade barriers – import duties, tariffs, or increased domestic subsidies – between countries. In the last six weeks, we have been moving in that direction. On Thursday, President Donald Trump threatened to escalate trade tensions with China, saying he was considering imposing tariffs on an additional $100 billion in imports from China.
This is on top of the $50 billion in imports from China that the Trump administration announced earlier this week. After the initial tariffs, China responded quickly, rolling out $50 billion in tariffs on American exports China that targeted politically powerful industries such as agriculture and aerospace companies. As of today, these announced policies have not taken effect, but if they are put in place will be hard to call it anything but a trade war, Tom.
Why do countries raise tariffs? What does President Trump seek to achieve?
Throughout history, countries have used tariffs, import taxes and other policies to protect domestic industries. For example, many countries that have used import tariffs to shield their automotive and agricultural sectors. President Trump has stated that his actions are intended to protect specific industries.
As you know, the first tariffs her announced were aimed at foreign steel and aluminum. In addition, the president wants to use tariffs to reduce our trade deficits with other countries, especially China. The president campaigned on this issue, saying he believed other countries were taking advantage of the United States.
Will these tariffs help reduce our trade deficit?
Most economists do not believe that tariffs alleviate trade deficits, and past experience bears that out. In the 1980s and 1990s, the US employed a number of policies intended to slow the flow of imports from Japan and reduce our trade deficit with that country. It did not work.
Which industries are likely to be hurt most by a trade war with China?
There are several players that are likely to feel the pinch if trade tensions continue to heat up. First, let's talk about the export side. The export of US goods and services to China supported more than 900,000 jobs across numerous sectors in 2015, the latest data from the Department of Commerce.
From the industry perspective, the biggest losers are likely to be American agriculture, who in 2016 sold $21 billion worth of farm products in China, and American manufacturers. In 2016 sales, aircraft companies exported $15 billion in products, machinery companies exported $27 billion worth of goods to China last year, and automakers, whose exports to China accounted for $11 billion.
Industries dependent on imports will get hurt too, especially those importing electronics, textiles, metal, apparel and footwear, and plastics. A huge number of companies fall into one or more of these buckets, Tom.
What effect will this have on consumers? What about the stock market?
Higher import duties will cost American consumers more money, Tom. As I mentioned, apparel, electronics and plastics are all facing higher tariffs, and those costs will be passed along to consumers. Stocks are also getting hit, Tom. The markets hate uncertainty and a potential trade war has uncertainty in spades. On Friday, anxious investors sent stocks tumbling.
The Dow Jones fell more than 570 points, or 2.3 percent in one day. Combined with investor concerns about Trump's aggressive stance toward Amazon and concerns about Facebook's privacy protections, there was a lot of volatility on Wall Street last week.
However, for those worried about how this could impact you, do not let this volatility affect your investment strategy. Keep in mind that you are investing for the long-term. Like other market bumps, this could get worse before it gets better, but this too shall pass.

For the past few weeks, I've been sorting through boxes of old photos that I have inherited. As I looked at photo after photo, I began comparing the life depicted in those photos with modern day life. I was struck by how similar yet dissimilar life then and now can be. It was then that I got the idea for this month's Heritage Challenge—a comparison of then and now.
CT members Paula , Steph and I have taken the challenge and created three layouts highlighting some interesting similarities and differences. We hope you will enjoy our examples and be inspired to create your own comparison layout.
Steph chose her and her daughter's interest in Barbies as the topic for her layout. I love her combination of photos and journalling to tell her story.

Or maybe comparison photos of you and your child or grandchild-school, toys, daily life. Maybe celebrating holidays past and present. Whatever your idea, we'd love to have you share with us.

I went shopping with my grandson for his Little League needs. He said, "The Louisville Slugger aluminum bats are on sale today. They're only $180.00." I checked. He was right: $180.00 – on sale. That's when I had the epiphany. I know now why soccer is a world-wide phenomenon: It's cheap. The only equipment you need is a ball. Is that why it hasn't caught on in the U.S.? Not expensive enough for our First World tastes? Would people rather go into debt for football or hockey equipment, that is outgrown each year, not to mention travel and meals for overnight away games, or is it something else? How can you love a game like soccer that ends with the score tied at 0-0, and one team declared the winner on penalties?
Some say: Just give it time. It will catch on over here. Right. That worked out well with cricket, the metric system, warm beer, and kippers for breakfast, didn't it? Soccer just doesn't capture the American fancy: It's foreign. One father said he'd only attend his son's soccer games if DNA proved he was the kid's biological father. That's cold.
Some say they should add excitement to the game by making the teams play it on ice skates. Others think it would be more fun just to sit on the field and watch the hooligans brawl in the stands. I even read where Cambodian Buddhist monks were permitted to watch the World Cup soccer finals only under the condition that they not cheer or get excited. I can't see Buddhist monks getting upset over a soccer game, but I have seen soccer games where the fans came close to a riot.
I read about the Chicago Tribune Reader's Challenge 192. They asked readers, "How would you change the game of soccer to win over more fans in the U.S.?" They got lots of answers. Here are a few of their reader suggestions along with some others I have collected along the way:
1. Make each goal count for 6 points, like football, so we can kid ourselves into thinking it's a high scoring game.
2. "Soccer" sounds like spousal abuse. Like "base", "foot", and "basket", soccer needs a name with "ball" in it. How about "netball?"
3. Instead of that wimpy throw over the head, the ball should be inbounded using an air cannon.
4. No running around and hugging after a score. That's really suspect.
5. Have a half-time show, starring Barbara Streisand.
6. Create a new variation of soccer using a bowling ball. Allow the players to throw the ball to each other; let them run with the ball and have the opposing players try to get the ball away from them and even tackle them and – oh, wait – we already have a game like that.
7. How about letting the winning team rule the losing team's country for four years?
8. Maybe charge fans $100 to park. They'll think something's going on inside they can't afford to miss.
9. How about keeping the drama queens under control? Have you seen the incidents where one player brushes against another and the "victim" falls to the ground, screaming in excruciating pain, hoping his aggressor will be handed a penalty card? Come on, I've seen ballet dancers suffer harder knocks, get back up, and hit their marks.
10. And how about a bit more common sense in the "conservation of energy" department? They run around the field all through the game and, when they score, they run around some more, scream, rip their shirts, jump on each other, and do slides on the grass. Why don't they just rush headfirst into the metal net frame and be done with it?
Maybe we need more soccer anecdotes to capture favorable public attention:
Bonus #1: The LA Times reports that Italy's most popular soccer star, blond Francesco Totti, is tormented by fans who claim he is not too bright. He is the butt of countless jokes. This is the latest: Totti bought a jigsaw puzzle. He bragged to a reporter that he completed it in 6 weeks.
"Is that good?" asked the reporter.
"I am a genius," replied Totti. "Right on the box it said '2-4 years'!"
Bonus #2: After Germany won a big match in Berlin, the stadium crowd sang the German National Anthem, Das Lied Der Deutschen, for the first time since 1944. The American, British, and Russian teams maintained a respectful silence. The French team surrendered.
Okay, it's unlikely that soccer will replace any of the popular American sports, at least in this country. We have enough sports already to spend our money, energy, and time on for the sake of the kids, or their parents, or both. In any case, it's become Big Business.
Sometimes I wonder what the kids really think about all this.

A boxer, like a lion, uses purely offensive (upper body) 'power' (if you have power you are free). Normally a boxer doesn't kick or bite, where he is not cornered. You see Mike Tyson bit his opponent by his ear, when he was about to lose. I heard he was converted to Islam in prison or something, did 'soft style' users talk to him when they saw that he was in a, what i call now, 'boxers box' (Or boxers prison) where he was trapped? In Buddhism and mysticism, a teacher appears when the student is ready. Giving birth to an egg can only happen through the chick, that is the start of life, if the chicken or cook picks on the egg that is the end of life.
In Karate and TKD, like a Zebra, you emphasize the defensive (lower body) 'power' (what makes you free). You as defensive you run, and in the reign of offensive people (brawlers and boxers) you start as in-valid (handicapped). Like Forrest Gump. You also use your legs for kicking (added to running away). You use (false) openings as a method for fighting, and the more offensive the lion is the closer he is to the kick. Kicking is more powerful, longer reach, and can be trained to be elegantly fast.
Whereas in boxing, brawling, you use no openings and play "safe". We wan't to sleep 20 hours a day like a champion male and masculine lion, then we use our fists, which has shorter reach, less powerful, and using unecologically much resourses.

EIGHT people have been found dead in a semi-trailer loaded with at least 30 others outside a Walmart store in Texas' stifling summer heat in what police are calling a horrific human trafficking case. The driver was arrested.
Police did not say where the vehicle came from, but said the driver has been arrested and would be charged.
They are investigating a possible people-smuggling offence.
The US immigration department is trying to establish the victims' status.
San Antonio is a few hours' drive from the border with Mexico.
The truck had no working air conditioning system despite blistering temperatures that topped 37C, authorities said. All the victims were taken to several hospitals.
"They were very hot to the touch. So these people were in this trailer without any signs of any type of water," said San Antonio Fire Chief Charles Hood, briefing journalists at the scene in video authorities posted on social media. "It was a mass casualty situation for us."
Local fire chief Charles Hood said they had arrived at the scene just after midnight to find eight people dead in the back of the trailer truck, which had no functioning air conditioning and no signs of water inside.
The survivors had heart rates of over 130 beats per minute and were very hot to touch. In addition to the 20 people in a critical condition, eight others were taken to hospital in a less severe state.

Message Received = More Money!!!!
Jack Nicholson played a scrappy no-nonsense Colonel in the movie "A Few Good Men." When giving orders to his men the Colonel often asked "are we clear?" the correct answer was always "crystal" as in crystal clear. When communicating with our prospects being understood should not be something subject to interpretation. It should be clear, unambiguous and succinct. Unfortunately, most of us don't have the military training that fosters this "in-your-face" type of communication. On second thought I am not sure that your prospects may be entirely ready for it either! Nevertheless, you and your prospects deserve to be understood. It's a waste of everybody's time and counterproductive for each party to a conversation to take away a different meaning. Today let's talk about the ways we can ensure that your message is received.
There are three primary techniques to ensure your prospect and you are on the same wavelength:
1. Clarity
2. Repetition.
3. Check questions.
It goes without saying, if your prospect doesn't understand what it is you're saying you are safe to assume he isn't receiving your message. Yet, this is the number one reason salespeople don't convey the message they want to their prospect. Some of us are masters of the ad-hoc conversation; we can start a conversation on any subject and skillfully build an understandable chain of logic interspersed with humor, anecdotes and facts that impart knowledge to the prospect. Just as many of us find it necessary to follow a more scripted presentation that has milestones along the way so that we are sure that we say what needs to be said in the correct order.
Here's an important point that many of us often miss: The order that you say something as well as the emphasis you place on points within your presentation is essential to its comprehension. People need assistance in understanding issues that may be complex. By spoon feeding the information in a logical manner while at the same time highlighting what is important you are much more likely to make your message both understandable and memorable. You remove what I call the "Oh, I get it" moment that sometimes occurs seconds, minutes or hours after you have said something. This is very destructive to your control of the situation. When someone does not understand what has just been said and you've moved on to the next point, the presentation may be effectively over; you just don't know it yet. They're still concentrating on the last point that they didn't grasp.
Experts speak unequivocally about the need for repetition in learning. When you are presenting, you are teaching. How many times you repeat something should be in direct proportion to the importance of the message you're imparting. There are no hard and fast rules on the number of repetitions it takes to get a thought firmly implanted in your prospect's mind. If the concept is familiar and the prospect is sharp, one time might do it. If the subject is boring and the prospect disinterested, 20 times may not be enough. Of course, you would be long gone if you attempted to say the same thing 20 times to someone! Obviously, use your judgment each time as to what to repeat, how often and exactly when in the presentation.
The use of check questions is a tool you will frequently use to gauge your prospect's retention. A check question is simply a question you ask of your prospect that reinforces some point in your presentation that you want to get across. For example, an advantage of our Bid Facts report is an ability to select projects that match any one of seven bid types. This might be quite valuable to a prospect. The check question might be "Which of these bid types suits your business?" The answer to the question should be quite instructive on what was retained and what was not. Use check questions as a normal part of your presentation as a kind of quality check on yourself.
All of us want to be sure our message is received and understood. It would be easier if, at the end of the presentation we could, like Jack Nicholson say, "are we understood!" and the prospect would reply with a crisp "crystal." Unfortunately, we don't have that option. Always remember that it's not the passer who scores, it's the receiver. Utilize the techniques addressed in this article and watch your closing soar.
Good Selling!

Matt Lowton wants Burnley to show their true colours against Southampton on Saturday.
The Clarets lost 3-1 at Southampton in October following a below-par display at the St Mary's Stadium.
But Lowton expects Sean Dyche's men to be a different proposition when the two sides meet again at Turf Moor on Saturday.
The defender said: "We've already played them once and didn't give a good account of ourselves.
"They had a 15-minute period where they scored a couple of goals and took the game away from us.
"In the earlier part of the season away from home we weren't doing what we normally do.
"I'm sure they'll know as much as we do that we're a different team at home and I'm sure they're not looking forward to coming to Turf Moor.
"We'll go out there and try to make sure that we get in their faces and take our chances like we have done in the last few home games."
Charlie Austin scored twice against his former club in October but will miss the return through injury
The Clarets have taken 22 points from 11 matches at Turf Moor this season, with back-to-back home wins over Christmas helping to propel them up to 12th-place in the Premier League.
"Our home form has been key for us this season and has been our strongest point so far, so it's important to keep that going," added Lowton, who sat out at last Saturday's FA Cup third-round draw at Sunderland.
"The home form is key for any team really, but it is obviously showing just how big it is for us."

Federal Courts Rule in Favour of Anti Trust Legislators Back…
Miami FL Housing Predictions – South Florida Housing Market
Miami Real Estate Forecast
The US housing market outlook for 2019 is excellent. And after a strong first quarter in the Miami Dade, South Florida market, buyers in this market are happy.
According to the Miami Association of Realtors, Miami's condo sales jumped 24.% and condo dollar volume surged 40.8% year-over-year. Miami home sales in April 2018 jumped 12.9% while single-family home transactions rose 2.1%.
The surge was characterized by sales of condos in the lower price range via all cash transactions. And there's more good news ahead. George Jalil, a Miami broker is quoted as saying that "Miami condo pending sales are up 13.6 percent, which indicates another strong month of sales on the horizon." Florida's economy continues to grow and other markets including Orlando and Tampa are faring well in 2019.
Total Sales Volume up 18%
Total sales volume for all properties catapulted 17.8% , from $1.01 billion to $1.19 billion. Existing condo sales rose almost $155 million to $565.4 million (+40.8%). Stats show as well that there are more condos listed for sale at the end of April.
Hurricane Irma is history and the rebuild has been an economic shot in the arm. And given a strong economy, rising wages, and that Florida's no tax status is still alive, buyers and investors are finding big value in buying Florida real estate. See the Housing Market in Florida 2018 report.
Price Forecasts
According to Zillow, the average price of a home in Florida should rise to $221k by end of 2018 and the average price of a detached house will be $230k. Condos are forecasted to rise to $169k on average. Compare these to home prices in Houston, home prices in Los Angeles, home prices in San Francisco, and home prices in Seattle, and you can see homes in Florida are a relative bargain.
It's believed that high mortgage rates, mortgage financing red tape, and lower access to loans will moderate demand for homes and condos. Howwever, if it is foreign buyers paying full in cash for properties, governments will find it difficult to control price rises. The prediction of higher prices this May and June was right on target.
And with more Americans accumulating wealth and unemployment low, they'll be thinking about buying a Florida home or a home in San Diego county. Prices in San Diego are very high so Florida seems the smarter choice.
October Sales: Miami existing condo sales increased in October and luxury home transactions posted double-digit gains as Miami real estate returned to normalcy after Hurricane Irma-related tree debris and power outages delayed inspections, appraisals and closings the past two months, according to a PR report from Miami Realtors.
The number of single-family houses listed fell 4.8 % (307 units) in October to 6,152 homes last month. New house listings fell 9.3% and those offered at less thatn $250,00o dropped severely. That spells a housing shortage.
The number of condos for sale rose 5.6% to 15,222 listings during the same period in 2016.
Despite higher prices, it still looks like a buyers market for condos in Miami Dade County. This graphic below might tell you a lot about condo availability here in Miami. This might be the time to invest in a Miami property.
The trend nationwide of course is to rising house prices due to constrained availability. The latest US housing report shows consistent strength in all major housing markets. San Francisco, the Bay Area and New York have lead the way with strong rises. Miami, Florida placed 9th in prices in the US, according to a report from Zillow.
The Miami housing market for 2019 buyer profile are very similar to what you'll see in the Boca Raton South Florida real estate market forecast. Recent events have affected foreign interest.
The biggest event here to affect buyers, and therefore prices, is Hurricane Irma, and several other hurricanes that passed through.
There was a lot of doom and gloom talk about the hurricane's wiping out the South Florida economy, but it looks like they've already been a boon to it. Perhaps money has been diverted from buying new and resale condos to reconstruction of homes in the greater Miami area?
Worried about the jobs outlook?
"After analyzing 52,866 job postings from Miami, Tampa, Orlando, etc., we found that not only has hiring rebounded it is actually surging dramatically beyond normal 2017 demand for at least 13 kinds of jobs," said Kushal Chakrabarti, co-founder and CEO at TalentWorks of Berkley California. – from report floridapolitics.com.
Home Sales Prices Levelling Off
Home prices have consistently risen over the past year. The momentum look strong. Screen capture courtesy of Miamirealtors.com
On the other hand, a big decrease in cash sales show a traditional type of buyer is missing from the market right now.
Miami – Good Time to Buy?
Is this a buyers market? 2+ bedroom condos are decreasing in price and rents have fallen 1.5% in Miami. Contrast this with condo price increases of 8% to 9% in Washington DC, San Jose, and 13% in Denver Colorado and you have some perspective. Prices in Honolulu, Houston, and Chicago have plunged in comparison.
The real estate district of Miami includes the communties of Coral Gable, Cutler Bay, Doral, Homestead, Brickell, Medley, Miami Springs, Palmetto Bay, Pinecrsst, and Sweetwater. It doesn't not include Fort Lauderdale which is a separate MLS board.
Check out the neighborhood profiles on Neighborhood Scout. They include price appreciation, demographics, and more for Miami's best neighborhoods and all the districts. Very helpful.
Looking to buy a condo or house in the Miami area? The typical buyer of homes in this region come from around the world, from New York and Toronto, to Dallas and Houston, to Dubai, Singapore, Beijing, Hong Kong, Sao Palo, Rio De Janeiro, to London UK. A good portion of buyers emanate from Venezuela, Columbia, Argentina, Brazil and Canada. Colombia consumers are most interested in Miami real estate this fall.
According to Miami Realtors.com, interest in Miami is strongest from buyers in
- Charlotte, NC
- New York City, NY
- Atlanta, GA
- Chicago, IL
- Los Angeles, CA
- Houston, TX
- Dallas, TX
- Auburn, VA
- Boston, MA
- Simi Valley, CA
NAR reports that almost 40% of residential property is purchased by foreign buyers.
Buyers Forecast 2019: The Miami's Herald's buyer survey revealed the buyers forecast that residential home values will fare over the next 12 months, 36% believe they'll rise, a third think prices will remain flat while 21% believe they will depreciate.
You can discover more about Buying in Miami via the Buyer's Survey from Miami Herald
Graphic courtesy of the Miami Herald
The Miami Herald undertook an informative survey of buyer attitudes and the opinions definitely point to the buy side.
Miami's beauty, incredible climate, business opportunities and proximity to Europe and the Caribbean make it a key position in International business and trade. With condo prices subdued currently, now may be the time to pick up a bargain before prices rocket again.

The Annandale Campus hosted the NOVA Police Department's inaugural 3 on 3 Basketball Tournament on Friday, May 13. The tournament was organized by NOVA Police Community Outreach Office Tony Ong (AL) as an opportunity for faculty, staff and police officers to get together while spending time with students.
Three divisions were created – police, faculty and staff, and students – and each division had enough participants to create two teams. Ong was captain for the police, Dean of Students Athos Brewer (AN) was the captain for faculty and staff, and Student Activities Coordinator Michelle Green (AN) was captain for the students.
All players were pumped up with a practice session prior to the first game for which Annandale's Audiovisual Specialist Larry Harris served as deejay. The games were played at half court which proved entertaining for the fans who came out to root on their favorite team. For the first several rounds, the first team to score 15 points and lead by two automatically moved to the next round. After multiple close games, the student and faculty and staff teams played in the final round, with the students winning 21-19. This year's winners received a plaque from the Police Department.
The tournament was a hit with the NOVA students as well as staff who attended and participated. The goal is to turn the tournament into a charity event.
Northern Virginia Community College is the largest institution of higher education in the Commonwealth of Virginia and one of America's largest community colleges. NOVA enrolls more than 75,000 students at its six campuses in Alexandria, Annandale, Loudoun, Manassas, Springfield and Woodbridge, and through NOVA Online.

2005: Two Late Brunell to Moss TD Passes Pull Redskins Past Cowboys
The rivalry between the Washington Redskins and Dallas Cowboys has produced numerous close contests and exciting finishes over the years. Such was the case when the two teams met at Texas Stadium in a Monday night game on September 19, 2005.
The Redskins had lost 14 of the previous 15 meetings with the Cowboys dating back to 1997. Hall of Fame Head Coach Joe Gibbs returned to the club in '04 after an absence of twelve years amid high hopes of reversing the current dry spell, but Washington finished with a 6-10 record. Veteran QB Mark Brunell (pictured at right), obtained after spending nine years in Jacksonville, had labored through a difficult season and split time with third-year QB Patrick Ramsey. He was back for another year, and there was a newcomer at the head of the receiving corps in WR Santana Moss, obtained from the New York Jets for WR Laveranues Coles. They won their opening game against the Bears with Brunell playing well in relief of an injured Ramsey, who had started.
Dallas had also gone 6-10 in 2004 after reaching the postseason in '03 in the first year under Head Coach Bill Parcells. The Cowboys had made acquisitions designed to improve a leaky defense in 2005, and also brought in an experienced veteran quarterback in 33-year-old Drew Bledsoe. They, too, had won their '05 opener, beating San Diego with a late score and solid defensive play.
There were 65,207 fans on hand (the largest Cowboys home crowd in ten years) for the home-opening game that also featured the induction to the club's Ring of Honor of three stalwarts of the 1990's championship teams, QB Troy Aikman, RB Emmitt Smith, and WR Michael Irvin.
The Cowboys started off with a long 13-play drive that ended in a missed 41-yard field goal attempt by Jose Cortez. Early in the second quarter, Cortez made up for it by connecting on a 33-yard attempt. But by and large neither team could move the ball and the score stood at 3-0 at halftime.
Bledsoe connected with WR Terry Glenn for a 70-yard touchdown early in the third quarter to give the Cowboys a 10-0 lead, and when Cortez extended the margin to 13-0 nine minutes into the fourth period it seemed as though Dallas had the game safely in hand. Washington's possessions had ended in seven punts and two turnovers and their closest penetration had been to the Dallas 28 yard line. Moreover, the Redskins had lost 25 consecutive games when behind after three quarters.
However, on the possession following the second Dallas field goal, the Redskins' offense came alive. They drove 76 yards in 10 plays, highlighted by Brunell scrambling for 25 yards and then completing a fourth-and-two pass to WR James Thrash for 20 more. The possession ended with a 39-yard TD pass to Moss.
The Cowboys needed to run the clock down, and seemed bound to do that when Bledsoe completed a 17-yard pass to WR Keyshawn Johnson to the Washington 37. However, a holding penalty on OT Flozell Adams negated the play and, instead of first-and-ten in scoring position, Dallas faced third-and-18 back at its own 36. Bledsoe was able to regain only 13 yards on a pass to TE Jason Witten and the Cowboys were forced to punt.
The resulting kick by Mat McBriar went into the Redskins end zone for a touchback. With 2:52 remaining on the clock, Brunell completed a 10-yard pass to RB Clinton Portis. His next pass was deep for Moss and resulted in a 70-yard touchdown. With the successful extra point, the Redskins were suddenly clinging to a one-point lead.
That lead appeared tenuous when RB Tyson Thompson returned the ensuing kickoff 49 yards to the Washington 48. But the Cowboys couldn't get a first down and when Glenn was stopped short on a fourth-and-four play, they were forced to turn the ball over on downs with under two minutes remaining. Dallas was able to get the ball back once more with 36 seconds left, but time ran out with Glenn tackled on the Redskins 43 after taking a lateral from RB Julius Jones, who had caught Bledsoe's final pass of the game. Washington came away with a stunning 14-13 win.
Joe Gibbs was dumped with ice-water by his team on the sideline and pronounced the win "one of the greatest moments in sports for me."
However, a frustrated Bill Parcells said afterward, "You've got to learn to close the show. We didn't do that." It was the first time that a Parcells-coached team had lost a game in which it led by 13 points in the fourth quarter, going back through 77 such instances.
The statistics reflected the closeness of the final score. Dallas outgained the Redskins by 351 yards to 346 and had the edge in net passing yards (261 to 242). Washington outrushed the Cowboys with 104 yards on 25 attempts to 90 yards on 29 carries. The Redskins gave up the only two turnovers and were penalized 12 times while Dallas drew 7 flags.
Mark Brunell went to the air 34 times with 20 completions for 291 yards, including the two late touchdowns; he was intercepted once. Santana Moss (pictured at left) caught 5 passes for 159 yards and both of the scores. Clinton Portis was Washington's leading rusher with 52 yards on 17 carries.
Drew Bledsoe completed 21 of 36 passes for 261 yards and a TD with none picked off. Terry Glenn had 6 pass receptions for 157 yards and the one long touchdown. Julius Jones gained 81 yards on 22 carries.
The Redskins went on to sweep the season series with Dallas for the first time in ten years, and the games had a decisive effect on the final standings. Washington finished second in the NFC East with a 10-6 record and qualified for a wild card spot in the postseason, defeating Tampa Bay in the first round before falling to Seattle in the Divisional playoff. Dallas came in third in the division at 9-7 and failed to make the playoffs.
Mark Brunell, who had just turned 35 two days before the game at Dallas, had a comeback season in which he completed 57.7 percent of his passes for 3050 yards with a career-high 23 touchdown passes against just 10 interceptions. Santana Moss caught 84 passes for 1483 yards (17.7 average) including 9 touchdowns and was selected to the Pro Bowl.

New genetic and morphological evidence suggests a single hoaxer created 'Piltdown man'

Published 10 August 2016.DOI: 10.1098/rsos.160328
In 1912, palaeontologist Arthur Smith Woodward and amateur antiquarian and solicitor Charles Dawson announced the discovery of a fossil that supposedly provided a link between apes and humans: Eoanthropus dawsoni (Dawson's dawn man). The publication generated huge interest from scientists and the general public. However, 'Piltdown man's' initial celebrity has long been overshadowed by its subsequent infamy as one of the most famous scientific frauds in history. Our re-evaluation of the Piltdown fossils using the latest scientific methods (DNA analyses, high-precision measurements, spectroscopy and virtual anthropology) shows that it is highly likely that a single orang-utan specimen and at least two human specimens were used to create the fake fossils. The modus operandi was found consistent throughout the assemblage (specimens are stained brown, loaded with gravel fragments and restored using filling materials), linking all specimens from the Piltdown I and Piltdown II sites to a single forger—Charles Dawson. Whether Dawson acted alone is uncertain, but his hunger for acclaim may have driven him to risk his reputation and misdirect the course of anthropology for decades. The Piltdown hoax stands as a cautionary tale to scientists not to be led by preconceived ideas, but to use scientific integrity and rigour in the face of novel discoveries.

Thermal modelling of stepwise anatexis in a thrust-thickened sialic crust
Transactions of the Royal Society of Edinburgh, Earth Sciences
By: E.-A. Zen
- More information: Publisher Index Page (via DOI)

One-dimensional modelling of the thermal history of a sialic crust thickened by multiple overstack thrusting of upper crustal material shows that anatexis is likely. both the uplift rate and the length of the incubation period between end of tectonism and start of uplift are important controls on the amount and temperature of the melt. Heat of fusion does not significantly affect the long-term thermal structure of the crust if the melt is not extracted because only a small fraction of conductive heat is converted to latent heat, though short-term thermal effects of latent heat can be locally important. Model results show that commonly <15% of mantle heat flux is converted to latent heat; even during peak melting in the most productive models, less than half of incremental mantle flux is converted. The results have obvious implications on the acceptability of proposed heat sources for crustal anatexis. Fusion could retard crustal temperature rise by nearly 100??C, but the system would recover except for situations of very rapid uplift. Understanding of the thermal evolution of a burial-uplift system requires knowledge not only of the timing of anatexis but of the pooling and movement of the magma, as well as the duration and nature of the incubation period; we are poorly equipped to measure these events. The model predicts that the characteristic time for anatexis is a thickened sialic crust is several tens of millions of years, comparable to the time lapse between orogenies; in making geological interpretations of magmatism, this time lag must be considered. -Author

To my mind, almost the entirety of the issue hinges on the meaning of the word "dokimazo" in 1 Corinthians 11:28. This article (ht David McCrory) argues for paedo-communion on the basis of its understanding of the context and historical situation of the Corinthians when Paul wrote the letter. The specific section is about two-thirds of the way down the article under the title "Some specific objections; a. children cannot prove themselves." I would suggest that the article does not do the word "dokmazo" justice at all. BDAG has this definition for the word, "to make a critical examination of something to determine genuineness, put to the test, examine," listing this passage under that definition. What is one to make a critical examination of? The answer is "heauton" (oneself). Quite simply, it is eisegesis to claim that zero subjective aspects are attached to this examination.
BOQ It is possible for a covenant child, when tested (cf. I Cor. 10:13), to demonstrate by his words and behavior that he is living a godly life which seeks the approval of God. Such faithfulness can be observed even in a young child by both parents, elders, and other members of the church. EOQ But even this would require that the child no longer be an infant. Don't get my position wrong. I think that children of age 6 are capable in some instances of such examination. I think other children of age 15 are incapable of it. This is where the session of the church is so important. But the article does not do justice to the definition of "dokimazo" in BDAG. The best article I have ever read on the passage dealing with paedo-communion is by George Knight. It is available in the Auburn Avenue Theology: Pros and Cons volume, available here.

ContactPrinzregentenstr. 1
80538 München
Haus der Kunst is one of the most important international exhibition venues. Each year it stages an average of eight exhibitions that focus on contemporary art. Its program is interdisciplinary: in addition to exhibitions and events, research and knowledge mediation play a central role. Over the last decades and in recent years it has hosted many artists, cultural workers and scholars, including Patti Smith, Zaha Hadid, Rem Koolhaas, Christoph Schlingensief, Ai Weiwei, William Forsythe, Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev and Jan Garbarek. Many of these guests were invited to critically explore Haus der Kunst's rooms and history. Such explorations resulted in works like the enormous inflatable "Flowers" by Paul McCarthy (2005), which adorned the building's roof; the monumental work "Svayambh" by Anish Kapoor (2007); the installation "Remembering" by Ai Weiwei (2009); and the iridescent camouflage netting by Christian Philipp Müller (2012), which covered Haus der Kunst's south facade.
The history of Haus der Kunst is both varied and troubled. From 1937 to 1944 the "Great German Art Exhibitions" were held in the "House of German Art", the Nazi's first propaganda structure. These exhibitions were considered the most important showcases for National Socialist art. The exhibits were selected by a jury, in which the voice of Adolf Hitler was decisive. After the war, from which the building emerged virtually unscathed, it served as an officer's mess for the American military government. In the 1950's - with exhibitions of the works of artists formerly defamed by the Nazis, such as Max Beckmann, Wassily Kandinsky and Picasso – Haus der Kunst developed into an internationally renowned exhibition institution. Following the building's renovation in the early 1990's, its directors Christoph Vitali (1993-2003), Chris Dercon (2003-11) and Okwui Enwezor (since 2011) used and thematicized the building's architecture again and again and in various ways and continue to do so. Since 2005, Haus der Kunst has made documents and materials from its historical archives available to the public and for research purposes. In 2014 the Archive Gallery opened as the visual memory of Haus der Kunst's history and development. It is accessible to all visitors free of charge, and thus provides a platform for the sustained examination of the institution's history.

I usually don't click pictures of fruits or veggies often .. but these fresh ones seemed quite photogenic so had to click ..
enjoy the freshness …
The Millenium Pod of Chicago captured in my lens…..
One of my friends tagged me in a Photography Challenge week in facebook, where I am suppose to upload some of my favorites click over few weeks. So I decided instead of posting just in facebook let me share it with all of you.
I just like to click pictures, I am not a professional photographer neither I own any super good camera. I click pictures with my cellphone mainly just because I like to capture beauty, moments and events of my life !! Though my husband gifted me his nice digital camera of Canon with which I am planning to click more good pictures.
I am also a member of National Geograhic "Your Shot Photo" community. You can check my pictures at " http://yourshot.nationalgeographic.com/profile/999509/ ".
Please feel free to share your thoughts about my photograhy 🙂
Cheers !!!!!
